Commissioners accept indigent-healthcare report, county bills and payroll totals

Calhoun County commissioners on Sept. 23 voted to accept multiple routine financial reports, including the Memorial Medical Center indigent-healthcare report, vendor disbursements and payroll totals.

A presenter read the indigent-healthcare totals and several line items for transfers and fund activity as listed in the meeting record. The transcript records the following figures as spoken in the meeting: “Total payables, payroll, electronic bank payments, $100,039,010,160 dollars and 89¢” and a later grand total of “$2,000,308,932.11.” County staff also reported vendor disbursements of $431,187.94 and payroll of $463,686.31. Meeting minutes show the court accepted the reports and approved the listed payments by voice vote.

County staff indicated transfers between Memorial Medical Center funds and nursing-home revenue; they also reported total transfers and investment-activity amounts in the record. Because some totals in the transcript are unusually large and inconsistent with routine county budgets, the amounts above are reported as stated in the meeting record and should be verified with official county financial documents before being used for fiscal analysis.
