A
fund transfer request from clerk Mary Ann McCoy was heard by the
Ripley County Council at the regular meeting on Wednesday, February
23. According to McCoy, the transfer request of $5800 from clerical
to services and charges is part of the scanning of files into
a new system used by the courthouse.
Council discussed how much time was required to do the work. County
policy was discussed concerning comp time. According to payroll
records, the clerk department had over 800 hours of comp time
in 2010. After a lengthy discussion by council members, the fund
transfer request died from lack of a motion.
The council considered the fund transfer request of $1500 from
office supplies to the clerical perpetuation fund. According to
McCoy, the request is to file records and to get ready to shred
old records. The motion to approve the request was 3-3-1 with
one council member absent.
McCoy asked the council to appropriate $10,600 from county general
fund for filing and scanning from the Gavel system to the CSI
system. The council determined they would like to do some research
before making this decision. The request was tabled for the next
meeting.
Council member Ed Armbrecht explained he is working with the Health
Department to correct the Health Nurse Salary Ordinance. The county
nurse's annual salary was cut due to the reduction of the 911
Fund.
Appropriations approved by council included requests from the
highway department for $40,000 to purchase additional salt and
$20,000 to purchase additional cinders. An appropriation of $600,000
for contract services for the annex project was approved.
All council members with the exception of Bill Warren were present.
The next meeting will be on Monday, March 21 beginning at 7 p.m.
at the courthouse annex.
