Court approves $250,000 reallocation from property acquisition to repairs and maintenance

Maverick County commissioners on Aug. 25 approved a package of budget amendments that included a $250,000 reallocation from a property-acquisition line to a repairs-and-maintenance line.

The court discussed approximately 30 budget amendments during item 46. As presented, the amendments include a debit of $250,000 from account 33904584695 (property acquisition) and a credit of $250,000 to account 33904520695 (repairs and maintenance). Commissioner Ramos moved approval; Commissioner Grace seconded, and the court approved the amendments unanimously.

Court members said the reallocation was needed to support preexisting discussions and projects before the court. The judge instructed staff to prepare calendar dates for upcoming budget and rate approvals and asked commissioners to be available in the final two weeks of September for final approval of budget matters.

The vote recorded was unanimous. The action authorizes the auditor and departments to implement the specified transfers; the court did not attach additional programmatic direction in the transcript.
