Committee advances use of Ho-Chunk funds to cover building-material invoice and refer budget amendment to county board
Summary
Committee agreed to draft a resolution and send a budget-amendment request to the full county board to cover building-materials expenses (Archie/Hartree Lumber). The immediate invoice (~$14,009.15) can be covered; broader allocations will be finalized next month during budget discussions.
Members discussed a building-materials invoice for Archie/Hartree Lumber (approximately $14,009.15) and whether to use Ho-Chunk funds already allocated for other projects. Finance staff (speaker 8) explained the distinction between assigned/encumbered and actually disbursed funds and noted some line items are contractually obligated but not yet paid.
Committee voted to direct staff to prepare a resolution for the full county board to approve a budget amendment for the building-material expenses. Chair and members acknowledged there may not be enough unallocated Ho-Chunk funding to cover all proposed projects this year and that a fuller allocation will come at the September/October budget meetings.
"This is $14,009.15," staff noted while referencing the design and materials invoice. The committee approved moving a resolution to the county board and also agreed to cover the immediate lumber bill so the county's buildings and facilities work can proceed.
