With sheriff absent, chief deputy reports 28 inmates and court approves sheriff office card-limit changes

In the sheriff's absence, Chief Deputy Mario Vidaurri told the Commissioners that the Parmer County Jail was housing 28 inmates, six of whom were from Lubbock County and 22 were from Parmer County. Vidaurri presented proposed changes to credit-card limits for the Sheriff's Office to support jail operations and other departmental needs.

Commissioner Kenny White moved to approve the adjusted credit-card limits for the Sheriff's Office; Commissioner Kirk Frye seconded and the motion passed by majority vote. The meeting record notes the change in limits and that supporting documentation was attached, but the transcript does not record the specific new limit amounts or the rationale detail beyond operational needs.

Sheriff Geske was not present at the meeting and did not comment on the record; county staff will implement the approved limit changes per standard procurement and fiscal controls.
