Aransas County approves healthcare report and financial agreements at commission meeting

The Aransas County Commissioners Court convened on July 11, 2025, to discuss several key financial matters, including health care expenditures and banking agreements.

One of the primary topics was the approval of the Rantis County Indian Health Care Report from April 20, 2020. The court unanimously approved the report, highlighting that the total expenditure for the health care pool was $10,970 year-to-date, with a projected annual budget of $232,000. This indicates that the county is on track, having spent approximately 30% of the budget with two-thirds of the fiscal year completed.

Additionally, the court addressed a $10,000 payment made to CCMC for indigent hospitalizations, clarifying that this payment was processed in May and was not included in previous reports. The discussion reflected a positive outlook on the county's financial management, with officials noting that expenditures are well within expected ranges.

Another significant decision involved authorizing the Aransas County treasurer to sign a promissory note and disbursement request with Prosperity Bank. This agreement extends the expiration date of an irrevocable standby letter of credit for the Orange County transfer station by one year, now set to expire on June 1, 2026. The letter of credit, valued at $10,200, serves as financial assurance for the facility. The service fee for this extension is included in the county's budget.

The court also approved a service fee processing agreement with PC Bank for credit card transactions, ensuring that the county's financial operations remain efficient and secure.

Overall, the meeting underscored the county's commitment to maintaining fiscal responsibility and transparency in its financial dealings, with all motions passing unanimously.
