Court ratifies time-sensitive accounts payable, adds several invoices for payment

Maverick County Commissioners Court on Aug. 25 ratified time-sensitive payments prepared by the county treasurer and auditor and approved adding several outstanding invoices and purchase orders to the accounts‑payable list, after staff identified four pending items auditors requested be added.

Why it matters: Ratifying time‑sensitive payments allows the county to meet vendor obligations without delay. The court reviewed the accounts-payable listing and approved specific invoices and purchase orders for processing.

Details: Commissioners approved adding these pending items at auditors’ and departments’ request: a purchase order (PO) 251449 made payable to "Alo" (transcribed as A-L-O) for an amount read aloud in the meeting; PO 250207 to the same vendor; PO 251721 in the amount of $487.80 payable to Isaac Reese for grant-related visits and presentations; and PO 251722 in the amount of $448.95 payable to Embassy Suites by Hilton Austin. The court also reviewed multiple invoices listed for Vickery and Associates (invoice numbers and amounts were read during the meeting) and approved the accounts‑payable list by motion and unanimous vote.

Outcome and next steps: The court’s unanimous vote authorized the treasurer and auditor to release the time-sensitive payments and to process the added invoices and purchase orders. Commissioners asked staff to provide the invoices for the record and to ensure proper account coding.
