Court authorizes general‑fund transfer to replenish asset‑forfeiture line for family justice prosecutor

County Attorney (Mr. Wilborn, speaker 17) explained that asset‑forfeiture funds had been used last year to pay staff while some budgeted positions remained vacant; he requested reimbursement to restore the forfeiture line using general‑fund savings created by vacancies so that the county could continue funding the family justice prosecutor from forfeiture dollars over the next budget cycle.

After discussion about prior practice and budget impacts, the court approved the authorization to use available general fund budget resulting from vacant assistant county attorney positions to fund the family justice prosecutor for the period 10/01/2025 through 09/18/2026 and to reimburse the state forfeiture fund for earlier expenditures. The motion carried on a voice vote with no recorded opposition.
