The Polk County Board of County Commissioners voted unanimously June 24 to approve a series of intra-fund transfers totaling $102,450 to cover increased costs in county operations and to close the county's 911 Emergency Management Fund.The actions came during a regularly scheduled meeting in Osceola, where commissioners also approved a subaward agreement with the City of Lincoln tied to the Aging Partners Areawide Plan.
The transfers, each adopted by motion and roll-call vote, were: an increase of $7,700 to the Public Defender budget to cover attorney fees; $2,000 to the Coroner for autopsy-related costs; $37,000 to Buildings and Grounds for boiler maintenance and building repairs; $31,000 to the Sheriff budget for salaries and training; $15,000 to the Jail for prisoner board and medical expenses; and $9,750 to the Veterans Service Officer budget for salaries, rent, telephone, registrations and office equipment. Commissioner Boruch made each of the budget-transfer motions; motions were seconded by Boss and recorded as approved by Boruch, Boss and Chairman Jerry Westring.
In a separate motion, Commissioner Boss moved to close the 911 Emergency Management Fund, directing the county treasurer to transfer remaining funds to the General Fund on June 30, 2025; that motion was seconded by Chairman Westring and approved unanimously.
The board also approved a Subaward Agreement with the City of Lincoln for the Aging Partners Program for fiscal year 2025–2026. Chairman Westring moved to approve the subaward, which the minutes say is tied to an Aging Partners Areawide Plan that has been approved by the State Unit on Aging; the motion was seconded by Boruch and passed by unanimous roll call.
No dissenting votes were recorded. The meeting minutes state the motions were carried by recorded ‘‘aye’’ votes from Boruch, Boss and Westring. The meeting adjourned at 11:45 a.m.; future meetings are scheduled for July 1 and July 15, 2025.
