Commissioners debate $14.5M transfer and fund reclassification for road and bridge work
The road and bridge engineer and the judge disagreed over a proposed reclassification to reduce a planned $14,496,200.91 transfer from the general fund; the engineer proposed creating a new local capital maintenance fund to shift about $3,149,500 and reduce the general‑fund drawdown, while the judge emphasized continuing capital paving work.

He estimated that moving GL20380/4390 into Fund 201 would save roughly $3,149,500 against the $14,496,200.91 the court had been planning to draw from the general fund.
