Claiborne County Commission approves package of county budget amendments
Summary
The commission on June 17 combined and approved multiple budget amendments affecting several county funds, including transfers into Fund 101, Fund 151 and Fund 176 and large line-item reallocations in the sheriff's and corrections budgets.
The Claiborne County Commission on June 17 approved a combined package of budget amendments that adjust multiple county funds and line items ahead of fiscal-year close.
The combined motion (Resolutions 2019-034 through 2019-041) was moved by Commissioner Brent Clark and approved by voice vote. Key adjustments included a $80,000 revenue and expense adjustment in Fund 101 tied to commissary sales (Res. 2019-034); a $10,000 hotel/motel-tax allocation and a $1,700 state-grant allocation into Fund 101 (Res. 2019-035); and a large realignment of sheriff's office and corrections line items that the text summarizes as net transfers totaling roughly $249,900 (Res. 2019-036). The commission also approved a $204,405.95 transfer out of Fund 176 (Res. 2019-037), Fund 131 reclassifications totaling $134,400 (Res. 2019-038), a $254,079 transfer into Fund 151 (Res. 2019-039), and two adjustments to Fund 122 (Res. 2019-040 and Res. 2019-041) totaling $19,595.
Why it matters: these amendments reallocate revenues and expenses so county operating budgets close in balance for the fiscal year and ensure grant and program funds are recorded in compliance with state rules.
Supporting details: sponsors and text accompanying each resolution are part of the official minutes. Most items were bundled by motion and approved together; the published resolutions list affected account codes and dollar amounts for auditors and staff.
The commission left no further action on these items; the motion to combine and approve the package carried by voice vote during the meeting.
