Commissioners asked about the deadline; a speaker answered “August 31.” A motion to approve the enrollment and fee was made by Commissioner Kuykendahl, seconded by Commissioner Cooper; the motion passed on a voice vote of “Aye.” The court indicated employees will have about two weeks to complete the course after rollout and that new hires will be assigned the training later.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","May 27, 2025 Commissioners Court Notice of Regular Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","Hardin County approved enrolling officials and employees who meet the defined computer-usage threshold in a Texas Association of Counties cybersecurity training course at $5 per user, with completion due by Aug. 31.","taxTitle","taxId",69493,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":56,"_68":69,"_70":56,"_71":72,"_73":72},6222999,"Commissioners adopt Resolution 23-25 to list four properties for Hardin County delinquent tax sale",118,243345,361625,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3577303-3be2fbd96b27e52f40dc785818e0e803&start=243&end=361","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3577303-3be2fbd96b27e52f40dc785818e0e803/thumbnail_243345.jpg","/articles/6222999/Hardin-County/Texas/Commissioners-adopt-Resolution-23-25-to-list-four-properties-for-Hardin-County-delinquent-tax-sale","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6222999-3ef5c88c49d5078bbf158123e2f058f8/orig.mp4?Expires=1775516227&Signature=LNNLGpFPiq47~DyjIIc322DXnpJFare5m6RU4UKES-ajJercAs~C3v0gH54PRhwQEPwfAolwDTCZ943uhs5c50YrUodttjsmNaFV37gBHaeicu~dQtvxzKHjgLHlwHAEeA15CX3em7OLRPAL2-Hm-xYnAbC5MVXbW344es57AsDU~Zv-Guu4DX~PJmgnQgYRoENEq-gTXZcc2jdcyoX0YmjcmY~ePYnJQwgzJCvRBPzUgqkRZvPmeTUpUzPXqsdqyPauycYsCd-rUyHuExz7YkyHrqXsHLE6LTxZsuf7tGmA5q2Yfj8zntVPCsRoUfLmxQu1bbiTP1dm~RLDCYvmEQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Hardin County Commissioners Court on Tuesday adopted Resolution 23-25, requesting a public sale of four properties at a delinquent tax sale.

Jerry Kerkendahl, standing in for Sheena Moore of McCreery, Vasilpa, Bragg, and Allen, told the court: “We're asking that you, approve our bids for the public sale on June, on the resolution that we have here. There are 4 properties. 1 is a resale for the first time. The second 2 are 2 resales, and the third, excuse me, fourth property will be a third resale.”

The motion to adopt the resolution was made by Commissioner Kuykendahl, seconded by Commissioner Cooper, and approved by voice vote with no recorded opposition.

The court’s minutes list the collection firm (MBBA) and note that the county attorney’s office received the request; the resolution sets the county’s formal request for a public sale but the transcript does not record purchaser names, property addresses or minimum bid amounts.","Hardin County Commissioners Court adopted Resolution 23-25 to request public sale of four properties at a delinquent tax sale; a representative said the four properties include resales and one first-time resale.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":56,"_68":69,"_70":56,"_71":72,"_73":72},6223004,"Hardin County Treasurer asks court to release $2.22 million in liabilities; reports $30.8 million in cash",116,101390,217635,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3577303-3be2fbd96b27e52f40dc785818e0e803&start=101&end=217","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3577303-3be2fbd96b27e52f40dc785818e0e803/thumbnail_101390.jpg","/articles/6223004/Hardin-County/Texas/Hardin-County-Treasurer-asks-court-to-release-222-million-in-liabilities-reports-308-million-in-cash","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6223004-7b4bc230b22207b65f97845827d35929/orig.mp4?Expires=1775516227&Signature=D2tLTAHRO61INqMc3wJEPzJx-jQ0uGB8tQpqstc9nq9hxBeTzNbloxHgoO7rzT36fjy7f4SrF9FVKDnf0psiDTtbIZsfTCHVrcTtYe76C8oYcdFm6w3LxC06dpv68n1l9IMhpWv7jIq4zBrbavgwL7y468G4HpgC8t4Dw~1tm7G7OB8flUXsG4IqAM7PwzOw7r4WDPRHIXCfMkHq6EstO4x-5qrzyrKfYb2AVtl1s2D2o64OW59KNq1-B0qLoB6s5Q3z-nlA3jsx52F3qyYrSbdSNj90ODpdVEsNG8p2gB7O83bexid9HDQ5hbMT71RoJOjjJVGfDfhyyTsOs~rdng__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Hardin County Treasurer Deborah McWilliams asked the Commissioners Court on Tuesday to release her of liability in the amount of $2,220,422.78 and presented the county’s current cash balances.

A motion to approve the requested action was made and seconded by members of the court; the motion passed on a voice vote of “Aye.” The court’s minutes record no opposition.

Judge McDaniel said the funds stem from “an unaudited amount of the, I guess I would call it underspent funds from the fiscal year 24 budget. It's gonna be a little over a million dollars.” The court voted to authorize the transfer after a motion by Commissioner Kuykendahl, seconded by Commissioner Cook; the motion passed on a voice vote of “Aye.”

The transfer followed commissioners' discussion about whether to use the money to pay off existing notes or to purchase equipment now rather than take on new debt at higher current interest rates. Commissioner Cooper asked that the record reflect the transfer is “a 1 time transaction” so the public understands it is not an annual change. Commissioners agreed to have each commissioner submit how they will use their $150,000 allocation and to bring formal budget amendments back to the next meeting.

Alongside the fund-transfer authorization, the court approved several related budget amendments and purchases requested by R&B commissioners: moving $24,487 from materials and supplies into equipment purchase and creating a new auto purchase line item; authorizing purchase of a 2023 Ford F-150 for $38,986.20 using the BuyBoard cooperative program; approving rental and purchase requests for equipment (including payment of Mustang Cat rental invoice B1839801 for $11,328.85); authorizing the sale of old metal culverts and miscellaneous metal; and approving a trade and purchase that results in a Case CX50D mini excavator purchase with net cost after trade-in.

Motions to approve each budget amendment and purchase were made and seconded as noted in the minutes and each item was adopted by the court with an affirmative voice vote. The court directed that specific budget-line changes and any needed purchase orders be processed immediately where equipment was in stock and that remaining adjustments be formalized at the next meeting.

The court recorded no objections to the series of actions. Commissioners and the county auditor noted that higher-than-anticipated collections, tied to appraisal-district outcomes, produced the one-time funding available for these expenditures.","The Hardin County Commissioners Court approved a one-time transfer of up to $600,000 from the Road and Bridge fund balance to the four R&B departments and authorized multiple equipment and vehicle purchases and budget amendments using the transferred and department funds.","actionData","errors"]
