Finance Director Helton informed the Board that an error had occurred on the previously approved budget amendment #4 item #9, which moved funds received from the Jefferson County Fair in the amount of $12,000 from fund balance to contributions. Helton stated that as a liability fund, the fund balance entry should have been preceded by a + rather than a -. He requested that the minutes reflect that change, however stated that no formal motion was needed, according to auditors.
