Board reviews financials; fiscal officer cites $756,191.81 MH carryover used for HVAC work
Summary
Fiscal Officer Harry Franks told the board the $756,191.81 deferred revenue entry stems from Department of Human Services approval to use mental-health carryover funds for HVAC updates; he said building repairs exceeded budget but were covered by the carryover.
The Fayette County Behavioral Health Administration advisory board reviewed financial statements for the period ending June 30, 2024, where Fiscal Officer Harry Franks identified an accounting anomaly tied to a carryover approval.
"The $ 756. 191.81 was a result of the approval from the Secretary of the Department of Human Services to use MH carryover for HVAC updates," Franks said, explaining that 12-month building repairs exceeded the original budget because of HVAC work but were covered by the carryover authorization. The minutes record that Dr. Lawrence Glad moved to approve the financial report and Ms. Hillary Redman seconded the motion; the minutes note the motion but do not explicitly record the outcome.
Why it matters: the carryover covered one-time capital-like building repairs that otherwise would have driven higher base expenditures. Board members did not ask for additional appropriations during the meeting; staff said they will continue to monitor budget vs. actuals and report back.
