Summary

The county assessor (identified in the meeting as Carl) requested creating two funds (fund 4102 for FICA and fund 4103 for IPERS) tied to a new assessor levy; the board agreed to wait until a conference board meeting can approve the transfer and to return the item to a subsequent agenda.

Carl (identified in the meeting as the assessor; Speaker 1) explained that a new assessor levy requires creating two separate funds: one for FICA and one for IPERS. He told the board that while the levy is budgeted, the funds themselves are not yet set up and must be added to the board agenda for formal creation. "Now we're gonna open up fund 41 0 2 and 41 0 3. One's for FICO, one's for IPERS," he said.

Board members discussed whether to approve creation and allow transfers now or to hold a separate conference-board meeting first. Speaker 3 said department guidance recommended holding a conference-board meeting and that the minutes and a motion would be required to grant transfer authority. The board agreed to wait for the conference-board action and to place the item back on the supervisors' agenda for final approval after that meeting. A motion to proceed was made but the board deferred final approval pending the conference board.
