Loading...
Summary
Supervisors approved multiple interfund transfers totaling more than $1.8 million for secondary roads, ambulance capital and other funds; voted not to renew an opioid fund CD, and directed staff to revise the employee handbook and investigate Mount Carmel property-line issues.
Carroll County supervisors approved a set of interfund transfers and capital allocations and took several administrative actions during the meeting.
Key votes and financial moves: the board approved an interfund transfer from the rural service basic fund to secondary roads of $1,457,072 and a transfer from the general basic fund to the secondary road fund of $146,868. The board also moved $150,000 from general basic to the ambulance capital fund for ambulance replacement and approved a $5,500 transfer to the environmental health capital fund for a vehicle. The board approved using $400,000 from local option sales tax to fund the general supplemental account and a $50,000 transfer from local option sales tax to the ambulance capital fund for building repairs. Several of these votes were taken by roll call with recorded affirmatives for Anderson, Hausman, Miners, Johnson and McCray.
Opioid fund CD: the board discussed a maturing certificate of deposit in the opioid fund (board comments referenced ~$100,000) and voted not to renew the CD because the board expects near-term spending; motion carried.
Employee handbook: supervisors reviewed proposed handbook updates, including a requirement that timesheets be signed by both employees and department heads (auditor recommendation), allowance for electronic timesheets and signatures where appropriate, and annual performance reviews and background checks. The board asked staff to update the handbook language, circulate it to department heads, and return the item to the agenda in two weeks.
Mount Carmel easement: staff reported unclear historical property pins and assessor lines in Mount Carmel where an easement and access are under consideration. Supervisors directed staff to research property lines, consider vacating Henry Street and adjacent alley issues first, and keep the matter on future agendas until boundaries and title are resolved.
Other routine business: the board approved three plats, accepted the recorder’s quarterly report, acknowledged manure management annual updates, and heard committee reports on secondary roads, safety, zoning and other local programs before adjourning.
