The Walker County Commissioners Court approved order 2025‑95 on Sept. 8, transferring multiple budget items to cover departmental needs and to advance projects into the next fiscal year. Why it matters: the amendment moves contingency and project funds to cover increased operational costs and to allow project budgets to be spent in the upcoming year. County staff outlined a multi-part amendment that reallocated funds from general‑fund contingency and other sources to departmental budgets and project funds. Highlights presented to the court included: 1) $6,000 transferred from general‑fund contingency to the county treasurer budget to cover increased credit‑card fees; 2) equipment purchases including $3,700 for PCs and additional equipment lines described in the packet; 3) an increase of $13,003.92 to the courthouse security fund to cover front‑desk officer costs after revenues did not cover those expenses; 4) planning and development equipment increase of $7,251; and 5) a special contingency transfer of $476,002.90 allocated across multiple projects (examples cited included engineering contracts, vehicle purchases for a constable precinct, autopsy and ambulance transport coverage and capital murder case expenses). The amendment also moved ARP interest earnings ($184,090 in the presentation) to the long‑range planning fund and recorded two grant awards under long‑range planning as budget items (both described as grant authorizations; staff said the funds had not yet been received). Staff walked the court through transfers into the general projects fund and line‑item distributions for approved projects. The court briefly discussed specific projects and the timing of expenditures; staff said some funds are being carried forward to allow project spending in the next fiscal year. The motion to approve order 2025‑95 carried. Ending: County staff said they would proceed with the transfers as approved and answer any follow‑up questions in future financial reports.
