(KLZA)-- The Pawnee County Commissioners have approved amending the 2018-19 Pawnee County budget following a public hearing on Tuesday that drew no comment.

The amendment will allow for changes in the road fund revenue and expenditures. The actual expenditures for the current fiscal year will exceed the budgeted expenditures. The reason for the increase is due to the necessity of replacing a semi-tractor due to a 2018 accident that was not budgeted for.

The budget was amended to include revenue from a $100-thousand insurance settlement, and expenditures of $100-thousand due to the purchase of a 2019 Mack truck.

The action will not affect the appropriations for tax dollars.

County Clerk Candi Nicholas discussed her plan to purchase a new computer before the end of the fiscal year and representatives of NACO Benefits met with the Board to review health insurance prices for July 2019 through June 2020.
