Council gets riverboat distribution update; cemetery commission appropriation clarified
Summary
Finance staff reported a riverboat balance of $434,005.10 and expected additional distributions; the council confirmed a previously approved $3,050 appropriation to the cemetery commission from existing cemetery funds.
County finance staff updated the board on riverboat (casino) distributions and clarified allowable uses. The finance report showed $434,005.10 on hand with roughly $44,000 expected later this fall; members discussed eligible uses and noted that county law and statute generally permit broad uses of unrestricted riverboat funds but bar using them to lower the county’s maximum property-tax levy. "Greene County, the money is not restricted by statute to roads, public safety, economic development, or other particular categories... It can generally be used for things such as salaries... or any other lawful county governmental expenditures," staff said.
Separately the council confirmed it had approved an appropriation of $3,050 to the cemetery commission from its cemetery fund (about $4,108 balance). Council members clarified the mechanism for additional appropriations in future years if the commission exhausts fund balances.
