The Lee County Fiscal Court approved minutes from its May 13 meeting, authorized an extraordinary pay item and a three-month seasonal hire, and discussed planned interfund transfers to cover county vehicle lease and auction timing.

The court voted to approve the minutes from the May 13, 2025 meeting with a motion and an affirmative voice vote. “Approved minutes from the 05/13/2025 meeting. I get a motion to approve vote. They must make the motion to probably second all in favor. Aye,” the presiding official said.

The court approved what the record calls an “extraordinary circumstance” payment totaling $2,626.95 for overtime incurred on a road crew task. The court also approved a seasonal appointment: Jordan Stanford was authorized for a three-month seasonal position at $14 per hour to assist courthouse and road work. The presiding official announced those approvals: “Approved extraordinary circumstance paid for Blake's on for the foot of $2,626.95. ... We Approved seasonal status, 3 months from Jordan Stanford, $14 to our new agent.”

Members discussed interfund transfers to cover payments and auction timing for county trucks. A court member said some funds would be moved to pay for trucks the county could not take to auction immediately and to pay off older vehicles so the county could later send them to auction. “We're gonna do, 4 25 to the road. That's because Kevin couldn't take the MAC trucks to the auction in June, but we have to pay for those trucks because they won't they didn't our lease for the new ones,” a county official said. The court also referenced proposed transfers including amounts from the jail fund and solid waste to cover budget timing issues.

The court conducted other routine personnel and benefits business on consent, including a motion to adopt insurance and benefit rate items discussed earlier in the meeting. Some line-item figures were not read clearly on the record and were recorded in the court’s packet; the meeting record indicates staff will confirm exact rates in written minutes.

Decisions taken at the meeting were procedural and administrative; several items discussed — including detailed transfer amounts and precise insurance premium figures — will be confirmed in the official minutes and county accounting documents.
