Board approves $502,968 budget transfer for Carthage Point Road project

County staff requested and the board approved a budget transfer to correct a misposting for the Carthage Point Road project, moving $502,968 from fund 350 to fund 374 and planning to repay an interfund loan after the transfer.

The sheriff's department and finance staff described the mispost to the board; staff said the money had been coded to the USDA EWP account 350 instead of the intended fund 374. "I am requesting for a motion to transfer $502,968 from fund 350 to fund 374," the requesting supervisor (speaker 16) said, and the motion was moved and seconded. A board member described the transfer as part of settling an interfund loan arrangement and said the county would repay the loan after the transfer.

The motion passed on voice vote with the board instructing staff to complete the necessary interfund paperwork; no opposition was recorded on the transcript.
