Committee recommends staged transfer to cover $100,000 circuit clerk fund shortfall
Summary
Finance Committee reviewed a circuit clerk fund deficiency and recommended transferring $50,000 from this year's contingency fund immediately and covering the remaining $50,000 from next year's budget to address a $118,424.58 discrepancy originally noted in 2021.
The committee discussed a long‑standing circuit clerk fund discrepancy that an auditor previously identified. Minutes state the original deficiency was $118,424.58, addressed in part by an auditor journal adjustment in 2021; $18,424.58 was transferred in October, leaving about $100,000 still needed.
Committee members debated where to take the remaining funds; Dan Matthews opposed reducing economic development funds. The committee voted to recommend transferring $50,000 from this year’s contingency budget now and cover the balance from next year’s budget (motion by Matthews, second by Ferguson). The recommendation will be forwarded to the full board for final approval and appropriation.
