Board adopts resolution to pay bills, hears fiscal snapshot

County finance staff presented the monthly financial report and explained a resolution to authorize payment of bills and to adopt several additional appropriations. The report noted timing of FY26 revenues and expenditures through April 30 and referenced a current-year gap and outstanding real-estate taxes that are beginning to trickle in.

Staff listed line items included in the appropriations (register of deeds salaried overlap and training costs, circuit court clerk new position, sheriff overtime and police equipment, EMS cost recovery reimbursements to volunteer agencies, an economic development transportation grant and reimbursement to the Natural Bridge Soil & Water Conservation District for a newly funded position). Staff summarized year‑to‑date revenue and expense totals and a remaining receivable for real-estate taxes; staff said they expect to end the year headed toward a surplus.

The board moved to adopt the resolution. The motion was seconded and passed on a roll call in which Supervisors Ays, Day, Brown, Hart and Chairman McDaniel all voted yes.

Numbers reported in the staff presentation (as read at the meeting) included bills totaling approximately $1,510,540.43 and additional appropriations in the aggregate (staff report lines included $348,122 among other line-item amounts); staff also reported FY26 revenue and expense totals and an outstanding $7,266,958 in real-estate taxes that were recently deferred to a new due date.

Outcome: Resolution adopted and staff will process the payments and make required budget adjustments.
