Board approves appointments, multiple budget amendments and line-item transfers
Summary
The Alleghany County Board approved recommended appointments (JCPC and others) and a series of budget amendments and line‑item transfers covering TDA wayfinding funds, EMS staffing, detention center food and hospital costs, sheriff separation pay, IT expenses and recreation transfers; all motions passed by voice votes (5 in favor).
At the June 1 meeting the Alleghany County Board of Commissioners approved several personnel appointments and a slate of budget amendments and line‑item transfers during general business.
Appointments: The board advanced recommended appointments for several advisory bodies. The Egg Board rollover and new nominees were presented (nominees listed included Caleb Pac and AJ Toss with several reappointments scheduled for rotation), and the board accepted recommendations for JCPC and related appointments including a new appointment for Jonathan Jordan (attorney) and reappointments for Lee Bricker (assistant district attorney) and Randy Murphy. Motions to approve the listed appointments were made and seconded; the board recorded unanimous voice votes (5 in favor) on those motions.
Budget amendments and transfers: Treasurer/CFO April Ham presented multiple amendments and transfers. The board approved a TDA budget amendment and a line-item transfer to place town-provided wayfinding-signage funds into the TDA budget. The board approved a pass-through amendment for inmate canteen expenses. Commissioners approved a line-item transfer for EMS to cover part-time and overtime costs while full-time staffing has been reduced and confirmed completion of an EMS Medicaid cost report.
Additional approved items included an amendment to cover DSS indirect-cost-plan expenses, transfers to cover detention-center meal costs (to be charged to the detention budget after consultation with the sheriff), an unbudgeted allocation to cover a separation allowance owed to the retired sheriff, and a transfer to cover IT phone, internet and security costs. The board also approved a $900 transfer within Recreation (from part-time salaries to contract labor for youth referees) and a transfer to cover detention center hospital insurance and utilities. Each of the listed motions carried by unanimous voice vote as recorded at the meeting (5 in favor).
No roll-call vote with member-by-member names was recorded in the transcript for these motions; the meeting recorded each action as approved by voice vote with five commissioners in favor. Several items were presented as administrative or pass-through transactions rather than policy changes.
