Hickman County committee approves six year-end budget amendments
Summary
The Budget, Finance and HR committee approved six budget amendments covering year-end cleanups, sheriff vehicle purchases and maintenance, library window tinting, solid-waste revenue, and ambulance equipment; roll-call tallies were recorded for each amendment as read into the record.
The Hickman County Budget, Finance and Human Resources committee approved six year-end budget amendments during its meeting. The measures moved money between reserves and operating lines for the county general fund, sheriff's department, library, solid waste and ambulance service.
Crystal (clerk) presented the packet and read the amendments into the record. Budget Amendment 2658 was described as a year-end cleanup for the county general and sheriff's department that included insurance-recovery receipts; Commissioner Wayne Thomason moved and Commissioner Devon Picker seconded the motion, and the roll call recorded the motion as carried (transcript shows eight yes).
Budget Amendment 2659, submitted by the sheriff's department, proposed a split vehicle purchase funded partly from the sex-offender reserve and partly from insurance recovery. Commissioner Thomason moved and Commissioner Danny Clark seconded; the motion passed on a roll-call vote recorded in the transcript as eight yes.
A subsequent amendment the clerk corrected to 2660 (the transcript also contains a reference to '2960' in one line) sought to use a storage reserve for vehicle maintenance for the sheriff's department. Commissioner Thomason moved and Commissioner Clark seconded; the roll call recorded affirmative votes with one recorded 'Pass' by Commissioner Ron Mayberry and the motion carried.
Budget Amendment 2661 was presented on behalf of the library board and would use proceeds from a property sale reserve to tint library windows. Commissioner Danny Clark moved and Commissioner Claude Calicott seconded; the roll call in the transcript recorded nine yes and the motion carried.
Budget Amendment 2662 for the Solid Waste Department was described as a cleanup amendment that also increased revenue for commercial and industrial disposal fees; Commissioner Dusty Jordan moved, Commissioner Jim Herring seconded, and the roll call recorded nine yes.
Budget Amendment 2663 moved funds within ambulance-service accounts to purchase a ventilator; Commissioner Ron Mayberry moved and Commissioner Danny Clark seconded, and the roll call recorded nine yes.
No substantive debate was recorded on the amendments; clerical inconsistencies in the transcript (a mis-numbered amendment line and variations in recorded tallies) were noted on the record. The committee took the votes as formal actions during the meeting and moved on to nonprofit presentations.
