The Burleson County Commissioners Court approved an engagement letter with Crowe LLP of Houston for the fiscal year 2023 audit at its May 28 session. Commissioner Vincent Svec moved for approval, Commissioner Robert "Bobby" Urbanosky seconded, and the court voted unanimously to engage the firm.
The court also received financial reports: collection reports for April 2024 showed county misdemeanor court fees of $6,177.63 and district felony court fees of $17,472.39. The Auditor reported that sales tax received in May totaled $130,579, a decline of 15.8 percent compared with May 2023.
Commissioner Robert "Bobby" Urbanosky moved (seconded by Commissioner Vincent Svec) to authorize auction of surplus county equipment and property with Swico at a later date, and the court authorized payment of county bills on a motion by Commissioner Dwayne Faust with Commissioner Vincent Svec seconding; both actions passed unanimously.
The engagement of an external audit firm and the sales-tax decline were entered into the record through motions and the written attachments included in the meeting packet. The court adjourned after the financial and operational business was completed.
