Stevens County approves $3,200 budget adjustment to consolidate phone/setup charges for Extension
Summary
The board unanimously approved moving $3,200 between auditor lines to combine phone/setup invoicing for the Extension department; Auditor‑Treasurer Stephanie answered questions about unemployment charges and other packet items during her report.
Stevens County commissioners approved a budget adjustment requested by the Auditor‑Treasurer to move $3,200 between line items to consolidate invoicing for phone/setup costs in the Extension department.
Auditor‑Treasurer Stephanie (introduced on the agenda) reviewed packet items including an unemployment charge that staff had contested but which remained assessed under the six quarter look‑back period, one‑time Marco phone implementation costs and a VISTA/E911 invoice allocation. Commissioners asked clarifying questions about how the larger phone invoice would be split among departments; Stephanie said staff was still working on the allocation.
Motion and vote: Commissioner Stapleton moved to approve the budget adjustment to transfer the $1,100 originally budgeted in 63 01 1 into 63 42 for a total of $3,200; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote.
Why it matters: the change is an internal budget movement to simplify vendor invoicing and ensure appropriate departmental charges; staff said the adjustment will help with forthcoming invoices and departmental billing clarity.
What’s next: staff will finalize invoice splits and update commissioners if additional allocations are necessary.
