Scurry County officials agreed to pay Encore $10,587.09 to install a pole and electrical service so the youth center gym can have electricity and air conditioning before summer.
The presiding officer said the county has "been working on trying to get electricity and air conditioning into that gym for about 2 years now," and reported that Encore quoted $10,587.09 for installing the pole and service. The presiding officer proposed using money from the permanent improvements fund to cover the expense and said, "I'd like to take that out of, permanent improvements so we can get started on getting some air conditioning to the gym before this summer." The motion was seconded and the presiding officer said, "We'll sign that," indicating approval; no roll-call vote was recorded in the transcript.
The action was described during the meeting's account-payable review. The presiding officer made clear there were no certified revenues, no line-item transfers and no budget amendments to address at this session before turning to the single account payable. After agreeing to the payment, the court moved into executive session at 10:02.
