Committee authorizes interfund loans to cover delayed health‑department reimbursements

The committee considered Resolution 26‑943, described as authorizing interfund loans to permit the treasurer to advance general‑fund cash to three health‑department accounts (funds 04/2004, 04/2009 and 04/12) when grant agreements or reimbursements are delayed. The chair explained the practical need: many grant‑funded programs spend before reimbursement and the county has used interfund agreements in the past for similar timing issues with workforce and development funds.

After a motion and second the committee voted by roll call to approve the resolution. Committee members had no substantive objections; the resolution formalizes a mechanism staff said they will use only for temporary cash‑flow management while awaiting reimbursements.
