Wayne County Finance Meeting of October 7, 2026

The Wayne County Finance Committee met October 7, 2026, and approved multiple budget transfers, including $100,000 for a land-bank line item and transfers supporting the Make My Move program, whose new contract was described as $55,000. One Make My Move-related transfer motion passed with one vote opposed. The committee also approved a $271,250 transfer from bridge and low-hut funds to a state grant fund for a bridge project. Community Corrections and sheriff’s-office requests shifted existing funds among lines including drug screens, overtime, medical costs, utilities, and janitorial services; officials characterized the day’s transfers as totaling roughly a quarter-million dollars. A $52,880 transfer was approved toward the 4D Court fund, with further funding to be reviewed later. The committee discussed raising the 2027 Centerstone budget line by $23,858, but no approval was recorded in the transcript.

The committee reviewed concerns with the county’s five-year janitorial-services contract with CentOS, including performance and invoice review; officials said they were negotiating with the vendor and might revert to the contract minimum if issues were not resolved. Members also discussed Cambridge City’s water-tower and sewer-system repairs, the status of an EDA grant, and potential county support, but no funding decision was made. The committee approved the recorded transfer motions and continued its 2027 budget review; no new competitive solicitation or contract award was identified.
