Lawrence County commissioners approve warrants, minutes and budget transfers in short July 21 meeting

The Lawrence County Board of Commissioners completed routine business July 21, carrying several motions by unanimous roll-call votes.

Fiscal items: the board reviewed warrant registers provided by the county controller’s office and voted to accept them. The precise register dates were read into the record.

Minutes: the board voted to adopt the minutes of the July 14 commissioners’ meeting.

Written communications: the board entered three letters into the record (see separate article); the Chair asked for a motion to accept them and the board approved the entries.

Transfers: the board approved three intra-departmental transfer requests: the jail requested a $28,000 transfer (shifting $20,000 from part-time to overtime and $8,000 from travel and training to equipment maintenance and repair); court administration requested $6,500 (materials and supplies to office minor); and motor services requested $1,600 (materials and supplies to minor equipment). A commissioner moved to approve and the motion passed on a roll call.
