Spencer County Fiscal Court approves transfers to fund ambulance remount purchase
Summary
The Fiscal Court approved budget transfers to permit a remounted ambulance purchase for county EMS, listing several line-item transfers; the minutes itemize specific source accounts but the recorded total is ambiguous in the minutes.
Spencer County Fiscal Court members approved a set of budget transfers at a special meeting June 3 to allow the county to proceed with a remount purchase for its EMS fleet.
Judge Executive Scott Travis distributed a sheet of transfers the court said were needed so that Mr. Klinglesmith could purchase a new or remounted ambulance for county emergency medical services. The minutes list line items moving funds to 01-5140-7390 (EMS Vehicle / Remount purchase) from several accounts: $2,000 from 01-5010-1750 (County Clerk cleaning), $8,000 from 01-5040-4450 (Treasurer's office supplies), $2,000 from 01-5080-3090 (Engineer services) and $4,750 from 01-5085-5920 (Vehicle maintenance). The minutes also include an entry that reads "Transfer $11,250 01-5140-7390 EMS Vehicle" in the same block of text; the document's formatting makes the overall total unclear.
Esq. Stump arrived at the meeting at 6:35 p.m.; following his arrival Stump moved to approve all transfers and Esq. Cotton seconded. The motion carried by voice vote with all members present voting "aye," the minutes state (Judge Travis was absent at that vote). The minutes do not record a formal roll-call tally or the final single-line total unambiguously.
The transfers were described in the minutes as enabling Mr. Klinglesmith to purchase the remounted ambulance; the minutes do not identify Klinglesmith's official title in the record, the final purchase price, or whether additional approvals are required beyond the county transfers. The item appears in the minutes alongside the vendor/account lines shown in the record.
