Adair Fiscal Court, July 9, 2013 meeting report In Last night's July 9, 2013 regular meeting:
Click on headline for complete story By Ed Waggener The Adair Fiscal Court voted 6-0 with one abstention, to donate $2,500 to the Columbia/Adair County Chamber of Commerce, with a stipulation that the amount would be reviewed on a quarterly basis, after C/AC Chamber President Roger Meadows made an appeal for a $5,000 in support. A $5,000 line item for the civic club had been in the budget, but because of a tighter financial situation this year, no money had been given the group. Mr. Meadows cited among other reasons, three of the Chamber's activities, the Christmas in Columbia festival, the Roadside Park, and the Chamber's venue for meeting. He said that Chamber Membership has been declining in recent years, and currently stands at 175 members. He said the decline is largely due to the hard economic times, especially as it affects small businesses. He said that the Chamber will be raising dues in the future to augment its budget, and said that the local Chamber's dues are among the lowest in the region. He said that changes in the organization's annual banquet resulted in a net profit this year. Still, the group faces a shortfall of $3,421 this year. The action was taken last night, Tuesday, July 9, 2013, at the regular monthly session, at which all seven magistrates were present. Voting for the action were Magistrates Harold Burton (1), Daryl Flatt (2), Perry Reeder (4), Billy Dean Coffey (5), Joe Rogers (6), and Billy Rowe (7). Abstaining was Magistrate Sammy Baker, who is on the board of directors of the organization. Treasurer reports $857,269.71 reconciled balance, all funds Adair County Treasurer Barry Corbin reported a reconciled balance of $857, 269.71 in all funds at the end of June 2013. The unencumbered amount is $649,762.54. His report was unanimously approved. The treasurer also received approval to make budget transfers, if and as needed, in the coming months of up to these amounts: $10,000 from the General Fund to the Green River Animal Shelter; $60,000 from the General Fund to the Jail Fund; and $10,000 from the General Fund to the 911 Fund. Budget transfers year to date as of July 9, 2013, as reported by the treasurer include $445,000 to the Jail Fund; $95,500 to the Green River Animal Shelter; and $85,000 to the 911 Fund.
