Fayette County commissioners approve $1.5 million transfer and several appropriations
Summary
On Jan. 20 the Fayette County Board of Commissioners approved a $1.5 million transfer to the Board of DD capital account and made multiple appropriations and additional appropriations including $70,000 for sanitary sewer services and a $50,000 equipment appropriation for the Rattlesnake Water District.
The Fayette County Board of Commissioners voted Jan. 20 to transfer $1,500,000 from fund 1006 (Board of DD Transfer Out) into fund 1500 (Board of DD Capital Improvement) and approved routine and additional appropriations.
Commissioner Donald L. Fleak moved the transfer and Commissioner James D. Garland seconded; the board recorded Garland, aye; Anderson, absent; Fleak, aye.
Approved appropriations included $5,000 to County Unemployment (fund 1001, account 20010065) and $2,697.34 to Sanitary Services Applied (fund 1493, account 24960007). The board also approved additional appropriations: $60 to the Humane Society (fund 1001, account 21690106); $70,000 to Sanitary Revenue Sewer contract services (fund 1086, account 24820008); and $50,000 to Water District Revenue equipment for the Rattlesnake Water District (fund 1263, account 24830012). The minutes state the $1,500,000 transfer out was also recorded as part of the additional appropriations entry.
Why it matters: the $1.5 million movement into the Board of DD capital account represents a notable reallocation of county funds to capital improvements for the Developmental Disabilities board. The minutes do not specify whether the transfer is supported by a formal capital plan, whether these are one-time or recurring funds, or if outside approvals are required.
Next steps: the minutes record the motions and roll-call votes; the county auditor’s ledgers and subsequent budget reports will reflect the transfers and appropriations. The minutes do not indicate follow-up hearings or additional public comment on these budget moves.
