The Rock Island County Board approved several emergency purchases, software renewals and budget transfers at its Feb. 17 meeting.
Administration requested an emergency purchase allocation of $213,756.43 to cover FY25 Fleet start‑up costs and non‑billed salary/benefit expenses while the fleet operation ramped up; outside auditors agreed the General Fund, FICA Fund, and IMRF Fund could absorb these FY25 costs. The board also approved a $23,120 painting invoice for Adult Probation that was dated in 2023 and will be paid from the General Fund because ARPA funds were already spent. The board approved a one‑year Laserfiche subscription for $10,075 and a Johnson Controls planned service agreement for the Clerk's building with a first‑year price of $19,512.
Finance presented several transfers and new‑money requests across FY25/FY26—items included additional stop‑loss insurance funding ($49,360.32), levy revenue adjustments for several levies (Public Building Commission, Nursing Home, County Extension Education, Child Advocacy), and pre‑paid contract allocations (Axon $38,734.09). The board approved the resolutions and transfers by roll call as recorded in the meeting minutes. Claims totaling $2,161,714.91 and Treasurer disbursements for FY25 and FY26 were also approved.
