Court approves contracts, asset sales and budget amendments; sends bills to accounts payable
Summary
At the end of the meeting commissioners approved multiple procurement items, authorized asset sales and budget transfers, and directed payment of accounts payable totaling more than $1 million, the court record shows.
Scurry County Commissioners Court approved a set of procurement and budget items and directed county staff to process accounts payable totaling the amount shown on the meeting docket.
Actions on the record included approval to solicit bids for leasing park property (see separate item), a motion to sell surplus ZOLL ventilators (staff said the county is transitioning to Hamilton T1 ventilators and would solicit bids for the older units) and approval of a contract to purchase a skid steer for Precinct 2 (the contract was included in the budget). The court also approved discrete asset sales and line-item budget transfers placed on the agenda by staff.
At the meeting close, the court approved forwarding accounts payable to payment. The accounts-payable total listed on the docket was presented to the court and a motion to submit the bills for payment was seconded and approved.
Several budget amendments were recorded on the agenda: placement of returned grant funds into an airport maintenance line, proceeds from sales of surplus metal into precinct maintenance, and transfers to capital-outlay lines for vehicle replacements previously discussed. The clerk or treasurer indicated staff would process the stated transfers and payments per the court’s vote.
