Board adopts multiple fiscal and policy resolutions, approves $822,563.86 in April claims
Summary
The Butler County Board adopted resolutions transferring funds to road and senior services, approved a Visitors Promotion Fund policy and awards, adopted an expenditure compliance policy, retained a $30 monthly cell phone reimbursement, approved a $2,601 Region 5 matching request, and approved the April claims totaling $822,563.86.
The Butler County Board on April 20 approved a package of administrative measures including fund transfers, policies and claims.
County Clerk Lori Aschoff presented and the board approved Resolution 2026-12 (transfer General to Road), Resolution 2026-13 (transfer General to Senior Services Program) and Resolution 2026-14 (Visitors Promotion Fund administration and disbursement policy). The board approved a Visitors Promotion Fund request of $1,000 for the 2026 David City Summer Fest under the new policy. The board also approved Resolution 2026-15 (Fiscal Year Expenditure & Delivery Compliance Policy) developed after the most recent audit; the policy prohibits issuing checks before receipt of items/services without a board resolution and forbids “hold checks.”
On reimbursement policy, the board discussed business and public-sector ranges for cell-phone reimbursements and voted to keep the personal cell phone reimbursement at $30 per month; Supervisor Robert Coufal abstained on that motion. A separate motion approved Resolution 2026-16 formalizing the Personal Cell Phone Reimbursement Policy.
The board voted to provide an additional $2,601 in matching funds to Region 5 for FY2026–2027 for behavioral health services; County Attorney Julie Reiter described Region 5’s role in pre-EPC services and noted those services reduce county costs compared with Emergency Protective Custody episodes. The request passed with one dissenting vote from Supervisor Scott Griess.
Finally, the board approved the April claims as presented; the claims list totals $822,563.86 across funds including the General Fund, Road Fund, Rural Transit Service, Senior Services Program and E-911 funds. Line-item detail is on file with the County Clerk.
Why this matters: the resolutions set internal fiscal controls and funding flows; the Region 5 match preserves local access to behavioral health services; the claims approval authorizes county expenditures.
Next steps: copies of the adopted resolutions and the claims list are on file at the County Clerk’s office.
