Calhoun County adopts FY2024–25 appropriations and approves interfund transfers
Summary
The Calhoun County Board of Supervisors adopted Appropriations Resolution 2024-11 setting line-item appropriations for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2024, and approved a series of interfund transfers to reconcile interest and budgetary needs.
The Calhoun County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously June 25 to adopt Appropriations Resolution 2024-11, which sets the county’s line‑item appropriations for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2024.
The resolution, adopted after a motion by Supervisor Scott Jacobs and seconded by Supervisor Scott Becker, directs the county auditor to establish separate accounting for each appropriation, to track charges and unencumbered balances, and to report the status of those accounts to departments and the board monthly during the fiscal year. The board approved the measure by voice vote; the minutes record "ayes all. Motion carried."
At the same meeting the board approved several interfund transfers: Transfer 2024-12 moved $4,021.67 from the General Basic Fund to the R.E.A.P. Fund (interest earned Dec. 1, 2023–May 31, 2024); Transfer 2024-13 moved $7,975.67 from the General Basic Fund to the Conservation Trust Fund (same interest period); Transfer 2024-14 moved $39,572.04 from the General Basic Fund to the Secondary Roads Fund as a budgetary procedure (99.63% of asking for FY23/24); and Transfer 2024-15 moved $94,569.94 from the Rural Services Basic Fund to the Secondary Roads Fund (apportioned April $94,301.85 and May $268.09).
Robin D. Batz, the county auditor, is recorded in the minutes as the official responsible for establishing the accounts and reporting. No public comment was offered on the appropriations resolution during the meeting.
The appropriation resolution cites Section 331.434 of the 2022 Code of Iowa as authority for making the appropriations and Section 331.437 regarding expenditure limits and corrective reporting. The board will next meet July 2, 2024.
