Public works asks finance committee to transfer $2 million from landfill fund to capital projects; motion carries
Summary
A Public Works official requested authorization to transfer $2,000,000 from the landfill fund balance to ‘sell 6 and 8’ capital projects to cover soft costs and bridge cash flow until bonding; the finance committee approved the transfer.
The chair convened the Steuben County Finance Committee and Public Works asked the committee to authorize a $2,000,000 transfer from the landfill fund balance to capital projects described in the transcript as “sell 6 and 8.” The transfer was presented as a short‑term cash‑flow measure to cover soft costs while bonding is finalized.
“The request is to transfer $2,000,000 from landfill, fund balance to sell 6 and 8 capital project,” the Public Works agency official stated. A staff member explained the transfer will help with cash flow pending the approved bonding: “It’s gonna take a little bit to get cash flowed for that. So this gets the cash flow going.” Committee members asked whether the money was intended for engineering and related soft costs; the official confirmed it would cover those expenses.
A motion to approve the transfer was made and seconded and the committee voted to carry the motion. The committee did not record a roll‑call tally in the transcript; the motion was announced as carried by the chair.
The transcript uses the description “sell 6 and 8” for the capital projects; the project name or formal ordinance number was not provided in the meeting record. The committee did not provide an implementation timeline during the discussion.
