Board approves monthly interfund transfers for secondary roads and conservation; $3,163 correction made to recent transfer

The Des Moines County Board of Supervisors approved a resolution authorizing monthly interfund transfers to support the secondary roads budget and approved conservation interfund transfers for fiscal years 2025–2026, the board said.

A board member summarized that state code requires allocation from the general basic levy (noted in the meeting as up to 16 cents) and from the rural basic levy ($3 cited in the meeting) to secondary roads; the transfers are made monthly as part of budget execution. The board moved and seconded the resolution and recorded affirmative roll-call votes.

Separately, conservation transfers were approved. One transfer was adjusted because funds could not be withdrawn from fund 0027 as previously planned; the change increased the current transfer by $3,163 for the fiscal year. A motion to approve the correction passed by voice/roll call.

No new tax levies or increases were adopted at the meeting; the board documented that the transfers align with amounts previously approved in the budget.
