Webster County Board unanimously approves FY2025 budget amendment and appropriation transfer
Summary
Webster County supervisors approved Amendment No. 1 to the FY2024–2025 budget, raising appropriations for Conservation and Public Health and transferring $64,800 from Environmental Health to Public Health. All measures passed unanimously and the board set no new public comment on the change.
The Webster County Board of Supervisors on July 30 approved Amendment No. 1 to the county’s fiscal year 2024–2025 budget, increasing department appropriations and moving funds between departments.
Moved by Supervisor Thode and seconded by Supervisor Campbell, the board authorized increases to department appropriations: Conservation (Department No. 22) by $393,600; Public Health (Department No. 23) by $216,155.48; and Non‑Departmental by $5,009,026.51. The motion carried unanimously (Ayes: Campbell, Conrad, Hayek and Thode). No oral or written comments were received during the public hearing on the amendment.
Separately, the board adopted RESOLUTION NO. 2024‑28 to transfer $64,800 from Environmental Health (Dept. 36) to Public Health (Dept. 23). That resolution passed unanimously.
The actions followed routine consent and budget procedure. The board’s recorded votes on the budget amendment and transfer were Ayes: Campbell, Conrad, Hayek and Thode; Carlson was recorded absent for the meeting.
Votes at a glance The meeting record shows the board approved the following motions and resolutions by unanimous vote unless otherwise noted: approve July 16, 2024 minutes; amend the agenda; hire Julee Wilson as Victim/Witness Coordinator at $48,000/year; place Webster County Treasurer’s semi‑annual report and bank reconciliation on file; review RFPs for county investments and approve the 2024 Investment Policy; adopt RESOLUTION NO. 2024‑29 naming county depositories; approve 2023 homestead tax credits; receive Certification of Taxes for 2023; approve Amendment No. 1 to the FY2024‑2025 budget; adopt RESOLUTION NO. 2024‑28 transferring $64,800 to Public Health; register Vande Stouwe Construction LLC as a private sewage contractor for 2024; give first consideration to ORDINANCE NO. 2024‑04 (plating ordinance text amendment) and set the third reading for Aug. 13, 2024; approve DBJG Properties LLC Final Plat; adopt RESOLUTION NO. 2024‑30 supporting proposed private development terms; allow claims; and adjourn.
Why this matters The budget amendment raises county spending authority for conservation and public‑health programs and shifts operating authority from Environmental Health to Public Health. The transfer and appropriation increases alter departmental budgets for the current fiscal year and will be reflected in the county’s published budget documents and accounting system.
What’s next The county’s amended budget is now in effect as adopted. Officials did not set additional hearings on the budget amendment. The board left the ordinance text amendment (platting) on first consideration and scheduled its final reading for 10:00 a.m. on Aug. 13, 2024.
