Commissioners ratify Operation Lone Star contracts after audit disputes; county staff say $610,000 reimbursed
Summary
Maverick County Commissioners unanimously approved renewal and ratification of multiple service contracts under an Operation Lone Star grant after a lengthy discussion about documentation, reimbursements and auditing procedures.
Maverick County Commissioners on Thursday ratified updated contracts for several service providers under the Operation Lone Star (OLS) grant and authorized the grant administrator and project director to sign off on the agreements.
The action followed a detailed presentation by a county attorney’s office representative, who described delays and payment problems that have hampered the OLS operation. “We got $610,000 back for the citizens of Maverick County,” the county attorney’s office representative said, describing assurances obtained from the governor’s office after earlier reimbursement deadlines had passed.
