Freestone County commissioners approved several routine fiscal and procurement items, including a limited-access debit card for general-fund purchases, acceptance of a $26,500 9‑1‑1 maintenance reimbursement, allocation of unemployment-credit funds to local libraries and a $200 increase to a contract contribution.

A county official presented a proposal to issue a general-fund debit card in the name shown in the record ("Dank Groom") with a $500 per-card limit; the card would be kept in the auditor’s office and issued to IT staff as needed when circumstances preclude using the county procurement process. The treasury office acknowledged and agreed to the limited-access approach; the court approved the plan by motion and voice vote.

The court accepted a 9‑1‑1 maintenance reimbursement for $26,500 for the period beginning Sept. 1, 2025, and approved allocating unemployment-credit funds; staff said last year those funds had been split equally between the TIG and Fairfield libraries. Commissioners also approved a $200 increase to a salary-contribution amount in a contract amendment (from $20,800 to $21,000 for 2026). Motions to accept these items carried by voice vote.

No detailed policy language for debit-card use or additional oversight controls was adopted at the meeting; the auditor’s office will maintain custody and issue the card as needed.
