Midland County meeting approves line-item transfers for court programs
Summary
At a Midland County meeting Wednesday, officials approved line-item transfers for fiscal years 2025 and 2026, including transfers tied to drug‑court and DWI‑court budgets; the board voted to approve the transfers after staff reviewed the documentation.
Midland County officials approved a set of line‑item transfers for fiscal years 2025 and 2026 at a brief meeting Wednesday morning.
A staff member told the attendees that the FY25 changes included a $410 reallocation from a drug‑court long‑term‑leases line into DWI‑court professional services and transfers moving funds from a transitional treatment court into the drug court, which the staff member said were transfers associated with Judge Rainey. The staff member also said a spreadsheet showing which FY26 categories would move to others had been provided to board members.
"I do have some line item transfers, for both fiscal year 25 and fiscal year 26," the staff member said, offering to answer questions about the items.
A committee member moved to approve all line‑item transfers and the staff member seconded the motion. The chair called for the vote and the motion passed.
The approvals reallocate existing appropriations among court program lines; staff described the transfers as internal reallocations between departments rather than new spending. The meeting moved on to consider bills and wire transfers after the vote.
