Commissioners approve fund transfers, $8,000 appropriation for heating parts

The Butler County Commissioners approved several fund transfers and appropriations during their Oct. 24, 2016 meeting. Finance director Filingue told the board that "the Microfilm Board is transferring $1,600 out of health insurance into unemployment" and detailed other transfers: the care facility (Fund 700) is moving $40,000 from medical services into other materials and supplies and $35,000 from medical services into medical supplies. Filingue also presented a general-fund appropriation of $8,000 for commissioners' maintenance to purchase emergency heating-system parts for county buildings.

Filingue noted a minor rounding appropriation of "$0.32 because of a rounding for the payment of interest." Commissioners asked follow-up questions about which buildings needed heating repairs; Filingue said maintenance had identified parts for this building and the Admin Building that should be replaced before winter. A motion to approve the transfers and appropriations was moved, seconded and approved with affirmative votes from Commissioners Dixon, Rodgers and Carpenter.
