The Marquette County Board of Supervisors on July 15 approved Resolution No. 44‑2025 authorizing transfers from the General Fund Reserve totaling $966,675.53 to close the county’s 2024 books.
Adopted by roll call (Ayes 14; Noes 0; Absent 3), the transfers cover a range of exhausted appropriation accounts and continuing appropriations. Major line items included $225,521.51 to the Human Services Fund for child‑support placements and $330,863.49 to the Human Services Fund for CFS alternative care. Other transfers listed in the resolution included: Judicial ($20,387.16); Treatment Court ($5,718.80); Medical Examiner ($14,314.44); Economic Development ($35,604.05); Register of Deeds ($26,462.93); Sheriff Capital Outlay ($25,012.80); and a credit from net proceeds of tax deed sales of $188,536.17 applied in the transfers.
The resolution, introduced by Mary P. Walters and Ken Borzick, notes that transfers are made under Section 65.90(5)(a) of the Wisconsin Statutes and that the Executive & Finance Committee reviewed a post‑audit year‑end report of expenses and revenues for 2024 prior to the board action.
Administrator Ron Barger told the board department budgets would be distributed next week, with some departments scheduled to take budgets to oversight committees in August.
Next steps: implementation of the transfers to finalize the county’s 2024 financial records and proceed with 2025 budget planning.
