County staff reports fund balances; officials explain AirMed membership and county contribution
Summary
County staff reported a general fund balance of $253,331.32 and several other fund totals; officials said a $10,000 county contribution helps lower provider fees but residents still must pay a $55 AirMed membership.
Speaker 3 (staff member) reported the county's fund balances, giving a snapshot of local finances: the general account stood at $253,331.32; the ROG fund at $1,238,018.29; the opioid fund at $133,150.59; solid waste fund $34,021.59; LGEDF $17,354.05; storage fee fund $10,295.65; car wash fund $1,751.50; and the land acquisition fund showed a negative balance in the transcript.
“Ending balance for the general account is $253,331.32,” Speaker 3 said, reading the ledger figures for the court.
Later in the meeting Speaker 1 described a $10,000 county contribution shared with the city and the school to help reduce the price of an AirMed membership for residents, but emphasized the county payment does not eliminate the individual membership fee. “Just because the county's paying this, don't mean that you guys are gonna get this in 3…You still have to pay, $55 membership,” Speaker 1 said.
Speaker 3 told residents who did not receive mailed notices they would be contacted by county staff to provide membership information and instructions. The transcript contains no formal vote or ordinance recording a county appropriation tied to the $10,000 contribution, and the exact mechanism for the county payment was not specified in the recorded minutes.
The court discussed transfers between funds briefly in the financial report and agreed to follow up on any unposted debit-card deposits for the car wash fund. No formal roll-call vote on budget changes appears in the transcript.
