During the May 14, 2019 special session, the Steuben County Council approved several routine transfers and appointments to move departmental processes onto payroll and to pursue grant funding.

County Recorder Linda Myers requested a transfer within the #1189 Recorders Perpetuation Fund to move a contractual employee from claims payment to a personal services line so the employee can be paid through the payroll system with withholding taxes; the council approved the transfer on a motion by Linda Hansen, seconded by Dan Caruso, carried with seven ayes.
