Sumner County reports roughly $6.19 million surplus in total revenues; commission approves multiple transfers and reimbursements
Summary
Finance staff told the commission total revenues are about 2.55% ($6.191 million) above projections. Commissioners approved payroll and interbudget transfers, comp payouts for libraries, a $120,000 disaster-relief overtime allocation, and accepted a $414,000 state reimbursement for inmate medical bills.
Sumner County finance staff reported that total county revenues are running about 2.55% ahead of projections, which they stated equates to approximately $6.191 million above estimates for the fiscal trajectory presented. The county will post the February financial statements on the county website by March 23, staff said.
"We will be 2.55% ahead of what we projected. Correct," said Ms. Brown during the revenue-monitoring presentation; she and commissioners discussed that the figure represents total revenues (not just general fund). The arbitrage compliance report for the county's resource authority bond showed no rebate due; staff noted a different 2021 bond will have a budgeted rebate of a little less than $8,000 due in May.
On routine business the commission approved several transfers and payouts: payroll transfers and interbudget transfers for recovery court and general sessions to cover accruals and longevity shortfalls; comp payouts for the Hendersonville and Westmoreland libraries (a $513 shortfall was covered); and other interbudgetary transfers posted in the county's accounting system (MUNIS). All of these motions were recorded as carrying unanimously.
On specific budget items, the commission approved A1, a $120,000 disaster-relief allocation to pay overtime with the expectation the county will be reimbursed; members noted state or other reimbursements were likely. The commission also accepted notice of a $414,000 state reimbursement to the sheriff's office for inmate medical bills; commissioners clarified the $414,000 is incoming revenue rather than a county expenditure and voted to accept it.
The commission approved $5,185 for the Election Commission to upgrade its website for ADA compliance, and approved a scheduling change that pushes certain broadband-grant training dates from March 3 to June 30. Commissioners also discussed the state opioid abatement portal and noted that county committees and departments plan to submit applications through the portal.
Where specific vote counts were not recorded in the transcript excerpt, the meeting text indicates motions carried without objection or were described as unanimous.
