Roadmaster asks advisory board to recommend allocation for $250,000 transfer to cities
Summary
Alan Hickerson described joint city projects and asked how a $250,000 transfer to Cities-Streets-Bridges should be allocated; Budget Officer Julie Ellison said she will add $2 million to cash-on-hand and recommended the Road Advisory Board provide a recommendation to the court.
Roadmaster Alan Hickerson told the Budget Committee that joint projects with cities often use transferred funds and asked for guidance on allocating $250,000 listed as a transfer to Cities-Streets-Bridges. Hickerson gave examples of past joint projects and urged a clear allocation method.
Budget Officer Julie Ellison said she needs to add $2 million to cash-on-hand calculations and suggested the Road Advisory Board make a recommendation to the County Court about how to allocate those funds. Commissioner John Rowell asked how formulae should break out transfers from the Road Department, and committee members discussed auditor expense splits and contingency balances.
Why it matters: allocation decisions will determine which projects proceed in FY 26–27 and influence city-county partnerships on streets and bridge work.
