Court advances appropriation ordinance that includes Homeland Security grant pass-through
Summary
Proposed Ordinance 25-13, containing multiple line items including a Homeland Security GRAMA fund pass-through, was moved to the full court. The county described the Homeland Security allocation as a pass-through grant typically administered by a local agency.
The quorum court moved proposed Ordinance 25-13 to the full court after brief discussion of line items and grants included in the packet.
During the discussion a member asked about a $92,000 line item characterized in the packet as machinery and equipment; the treasurer explained that Section 6 of the ordinance covers the Homeland Security GRAMA fund, which the county treats as a pass-through grant and typically administers records for, with local first-responder organizations handling direct spending.
Members did not identify any opposition during the voice vote and the item was advanced to the full court for final consideration; the meeting record does not show a final appropriation adoption at this session.
