The Board of Union County Commissioners accepted the FY23 audit, adopted a revised county salary plan and approved several budget adjustments and proclamations at its May 14 regular meeting.
Chris Garner of Pattillo, Brown & Hill LLP presented the audit exit report and told commissioners "there were no findings, and the county received an unmodified clean opinion." Following the presentation, the board approved Resolution 2024‑36 formally accepting the FY23 audit by unanimous voice vote.
Later in the meeting the board approved Resolution 2024‑37 to adopt an updated county position classification and salary plan after a presentation by consultant Vince Yermal. Commissioners also approved Resolution 2024‑38 to increase a special revenue (SOS) grant fund, and Resolution 2024‑39 to authorize transfers involving the general fund and jail‑detention fund and associated budget increases. Resolution 2024‑40 amended sections 10.4 (annual leave) and 10.5 (sick leave) of the personnel policy manual (Resolution 2021‑18).
Commissioner W. Carr Vincent moved for each resolution with Commissioner Lloyd 'Red' Miller providing seconds; vote tallies were recorded as "ALL AYE." The board signed the resolutions at the meeting.
The commission also approved a proclamation declaring May Motorcycle Awareness Month and approved county bills presented for payment in the amount of $175,037.06.
What’s next: The approved resolutions and budget transfers will be reflected in county records and the personnel policy manual updates will be implemented according to the amended language. No additional votes on these specific resolutions were scheduled in the meeting minutes.
