Daviess County Fiscal Court Meeting June 28, 2024
Summary
Daviess County Fiscal Court held a brief special called meeting at noon on Friday, June 28, 2024.
Magistrates approved the minutes of the June 20 meeting and the regular claims for all departments. They also approved the third and final round of budget transfers for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024. Transfers do not increase the budget. They move money within it to meet fund accounting rules, and they close out the 2023-24 budget. The transfers included amounts for the general fund, the jail fund and the solid waste operating fund.
The court also considered the Daviess County Administrative Code, effective July 1, 2022, and thanked staff for a thorough review this year. The transcript does not clearly show a recorded motion or vote on the code.
In comments, a commissioner said items the animal shelter requested but that were left out of the budget can still be funded from the general fund. Unused money such as the $5,000 for a walking track may carry over. Officials also asked residents to be considerate of neighbors and safe with fireworks over the July 4th holiday. The next regular meeting will be in one week.
