Prosecutor asks council to shift funds after $10,000 transcription bill
Summary
Lisa Carr of the prosecutor’s office told the council a large private‑transcription bill caused an overrun and requested a $5,000 transfer from transcription fees to professional services; the council approved the transfer by roll call.
Lisa Carr, representing the prosecutor’s office, told the council that a substantial transcription bill — about $10,000 — drove them over budget for the transcription line. She requested a $5,000 transfer from the transcription fees line into professional services to pay for private‑vendor transcripts and provide a cushion for the rest of the year.
Carr said the auditor’s office reclassified the line a few years ago and that the department now records third‑party transcripts under professional services. When asked whether a separate transcription line will remain, she said the previous ‘‘transcripts’’ line was retired and the expense now falls under professional services.
Council members held a roll call and approved the transfer. Carr said the transfer will cover current needs and give a small cushion while the office assesses the remainder of the year’s expenses.
