Commissioners approve contingency transfer to cover shortfalls across departments; minutes show inconsistent amounts
Summary
The board approved Contingency Transfer 1-24 on Dec. 30, 2024 to reallocate contingency funds across several departments. The minutes record the transfer first as $124,500 and later in the resolution text as $124,200; roll call was unanimous in favor.
The Clark County Board of Commissioners approved Contingency Transfer 1-24 at their Dec. 30 meeting to cover budget shortfalls in several county accounts.
Commissioner Wallace Knock moved the transfer and Commissioner Chris Sass seconded. The minutes record a roll call with all five commissioners voting aye. The transfer was allocated to multiple budget lines: $57,500 to Commissioners (101-111-422); $2,800 to Elections (101-120-426); $10,400 to Court System (101-153-422); $27,500 to Prisoner Care (101-212-429); $5,750 to 911 Service (207-225-422); and $20,250 to Emergency & Disaster (226-222-426.20).
The meeting record contains an inconsistency on the total amount: an earlier line (SEG 010) lists the transfer amount as $124,500.00, while the resolution text (SEG 018) states "$124,200.00 be transferred from the Contingency appropriation." The board adopted the transfer by unanimous vote despite the discrepancy in the typed minutes. The Auditor's attestation line follows the resolution text.
