Finance director says tipping fees were miscategorized; committee approves transfers to fix budget lines
Summary
Finance director told the committee tipping (dump) fees had been put in the wrong major category in the original budget; members approved transfers to correct the error and discussed that the county previously paid a $100,000 annual amount to a resource authority to cover tipping.
Finance director Beth explained that tipping (dump) fees were placed in the wrong major budget category and the committee needed to approve transfers to correct the bookkeeping error.
Beth said the tipping fees were originally approved in the budget but entered under the wrong major category and that the motion before the committee would move them to the correct category. Committee members discussed historical practice, including a prior $100,000 annual amount that had covered tipping fees under an arrangement with a resource authority; that arrangement was said to have stopped in recent years and the county is now being charged tipping fees.
The committee approved the transfers and instructed staff to ensure the corrections are reflected in upcoming financial statements and packet materials.
