Council authorizes closure of 2018 SPLOST account and transfer to reimburse general fund
Summary
Council authorized the mayor to close the 2018 SPLOST account at United Community Bank and transfer the remaining balance after staff noted audited figures that $2.1 million of general fund money paid projects that should have been charged to SPLOST in 2024.
The Blue Ridge City Council voted to authorize the mayor to close the 2018 SPLOST account at United Community Bank and transfer the remaining balance to reimburse the general fund. The chair said audited numbers showed that in 2024 about $2,100,000 of general fund money had been used for projects that should have been paid for with SPLOST dollars; the transfer is intended to repay the general fund.
Council members discussed that a 2023 SPLOST account remains open for future paving and that those funds will be used going forward. A motion to close the account and transfer the remaining balance was moved, seconded and approved.
