Van Zandt County commissioners approve $6,750 transfer from contingency for two in-car camera systems
Summary
The commissioners voted to purchase two in‑car camera systems for the sheriff—s vehicles and moved $6,750 from the contingency fund to the IT budget to cover first‑year costs and subscription management.
The Van Zandt County Commissioners Court approved a purchase of two in‑car camera systems for sheriff—s department vehicles and moved $6,750 from the county contingency account into the IT budget to cover first-year costs and recurring subscription management.
The court record shows the sheriff requested two additional camera systems because the fiscal 2025 budget had funding for five cameras but two additional vehicles required equipment. County staff recommended centralizing subscriptions and recurring technology fees in the IT budget to ensure renewals and oversight.
A motion to approve the purchase and the transfer of $6,750 from contingency to the IT budget passed without a recorded roll call for individual commissioners in the transcript. The court then voted "Aye" and the clerk announced the motion passed.
County officials said subscription and recurring charges will be managed centrally by the IT department. No further funding sources or vendor names were listed during the discussion.
