Umatilla County adopts 10 supplemental budgets covering jail, public health, fair and other programs
Summary
The board approved 10 supplemental budget orders and 10 budget transfers covering jail opioid-treatment funding, public-health grants, county fair revenue adjustments and other program changes totaling multiple increases and contingency adjustments.
Umatilla County commissioners adopted 10 supplemental budget orders and associated budget transfers during their May 6 meeting, adjusting revenues and expenses across multiple county programs.
Ronald Paul, identified in the meeting as the county chief financial officer, summarized the supplemental budgets and said the jail program received an additional $170,000 in state revenue tied to an opioid-treatment program; some healthcare payments that were not submitted in time caused a timing effect that increased materials-and-services spending and required a contingency reduction. "We received an additional $170,000 in state revenue that was not in the original budget," Paul said, and noted that a portion of payments fell into this fiscal year rather than the prior year.
The supplemental orders approved by the board included adjustments for: the general-fund jail program (increase in state revenue $170,000; increase in materials and services $580,000), public health program revenue increases, a CDDP federal funding increase of $300,000, economic development and school-based health center adjustments, county-fair revenue increases, CARE program and 2050 plan adjustments, and a public-count reserve change. The board subsequently approved 10 budget transfers that moved personnel and materials funding among funds and reduced contingency lines where needed.
Commissioners voted on each order and transfer sequentially; the transcript records voice votes with ayes recorded for each motion. Staff stated these changes were necessary to account for newly identified state and federal revenues, late invoices and program-specific needs uncovered after the original budget adoption.
The board's actions allocate the increased revenues to program spending and reduce contingency where appropriate; the transcript does not provide a single consolidated dollar total for all transfers and orders combined, but the CFO itemized each order during his summary.
