The Chickasaw County Board of Supervisors approved fiscal-year-end financial items June 29, including claims totaling $249,260.85, a sheriff's equipment invoice for $24,538.29 and the county's insurance pool payment.
Sheriff Ryan Chaver presented an invoice from Guardian Fleet for equipment totaling $24,538.29; the board approved payment after staff said the amount was in the sheriff's budget and the vendor was the lowest responsive bidder after discounts (motion by Steve, second by Isaac).
Board members then approved payroll and routine claims dated June 26 and confirmed a prior bill of $613.13. The board discussed one outstanding intergovernmental claim — the county's share for a DHS bill billed by a neighboring county — that had not arrived before fiscal-year close. Staff said if the bill arrives after the fiscal year they would either process it in the new fiscal year or call a short special meeting to sign off on applying it to the 2025-26 fiscal period.
On the insurance bill, staff presented a Heartland insurance risk-pool invoice for $553,352.46 covering workers' compensation, property, inland marine and liability. The board approved paying the invoice and discussed allowing the auditor's office to process it in the next fiscal year and then allocate departmental reimbursements as needed.
The board approved the claims motion ("pay claims $249,260.85") on a motion by Steve, second by Scott. No detailed roll-call tallies were recorded for these voice-vote motions in the transcript.
Next steps: staff will finalize year-end balances, confirm whether the missing intergovernmental claim arrives, and return with final numbers to ensure departments are within budget.
