Treasurer, Penny Huff discussed Use Tax is currently going into County General Fund. Current Use Tax balance is $176,000.00. For auditing purposes and a clean paper trail it would be best to begin at new Fiscal Year to put the Use Tax monies into separate account to earmark for elevator and/or jail repairs. A resolution will be required to move money to a different account. New Business: Office of the District Attorney has requested lights to be put in the stairwell for after hours. Battery operated lights on Amazon for less than $20 has been discussed.
Suggested (2) for third floor and (2) for stairwell.
