Wood County Board approves three 2025 budget amendments totaling $1.93 million (as read)
Loading...
Summary
The board unanimously approved three budget amendments affecting the 2025 employee health fund, property and liability insurance, and the criminal justice budget; the clerk read fiscal notes and the board approved the group of resolutions 19-0.
The Wood County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to approve three budget-amendment resolutions during its organizational meeting.
County Clerk read the three resolutions: 26-4-1 to amend the 2025 employee health fund for additional unanticipated expenditures (the clerk read an adjustment to the budget totaling $1,453,778, funded by unanticipated revenues and the use of cash reserves); 26-4-2 to amend the 2025 property and liability insurance budget for higher-than-anticipated deductible expenses (the clerk read a source-of-funding transfer of $63,106 from available balances and contingency but also read an adjustment value later as $400,902 in the fiscal note); and 26-4-3 to amend the 2025 criminal justice budget for additional expenditures (funded by criminal justice state aid and available contingency funds, with the adjustment to the budget read as $78,385).
After the clerk finished, a motion by Supervisor Zuerflo with a second by Supervisor Roser brought the three resolutions to a vote; the chair announced the resolutions passed unanimously, 19-0.
The resolutions were presented and adopted together; the clerk noted contingency funds available at the time (reported as $600,000 during the reading). The transcript includes an inconsistency in the property and liability insurance line: the clerk read both a $63,106 transfer from available balance and a $400,902 budget adjustment in the same item. That inconsistency was part of the fiscal-note reading and is noted here rather than altered.
The board proceeded to other business after the vote.
