Summary
Commissioners unanimously approved 2024 budget amendments, payroll distributions, accounts cash sheets and payment of FY2025 bills totaling $253,648.44; county auditor flagged representation costs and a contingency line correction.
Henderson County Commissioners Court unanimously approved multiple financial items during its regular session, including fiscal year 2024 budget amendments, payroll distributions, accounts cash sheets for January 2025, and payment of fiscal year 2025 bills totaling $253,648.44.
County auditor (Miss Monk) presented the 2024 budget amendments and told the court she had corrected an error in the contingency fund line, noting an item entered as about $180,000 that conflicted with a budgeted $1,500,000 figure and was corrected in the amendments. She also flagged rising court attorney representation costs: "even though y'all budgeted an extra 300,000 in contingency, we were still short, and we've almost doubled that line from 2022 to 2024," she said, urging commissioners to discuss the matter with their legislators.
Commissioners approved payroll distribution totals for biweekly pay period number 6 and accounts cash sheets for the period ending January 2025. Commissioner Spivey moved to approve the payroll disbursement totals; Commissioner Richardson seconded. The court also approved payment of fiscal year 2025 bills in the amount of $253,648.44 after a motion by Commissioner Richardson and a second by Commissioner Spivey.
Separately, the court approved submitted minutes (as amended) and recorded a motion to adjourn. A visiting former county judge offered a reminder about legislative outreach and legal resources available to county officials near the end of the meeting.
