Scurry County reviews certified revenue, budget amendments and $1.03M in accounts payable

Scurry County Commissioners reviewed several financial items during their September meeting, including a certified revenue item, budget amendments and transfers, and a report of accounts payable.

Speaker 1 reported a certified revenue item from Mortenson Company in the amount of $896,000 intended to reimburse road damage in Precinct 3; Speaker 1 said there would be an agenda request to place those proceeds into a Texas‑class account. Following that, Speaker 5 and Speaker 2 discussed moving the proceeds to funds for Precinct 3 and indicated a motion was made to transfer the funds.

Speaker 1 outlined a first budget amendment for records management maintenance of $3,700 and a list of transfers and adjustments including: JP membership $50; county attorney dues $85; sheriff’s education and training $3,200; library equipment and 12 new computers costing $4,004.89 and online content/travel for Texas Library Association memberships; senior center part‑time $4,300; workers' comp $279; unemployment $10; food $7,000; EMS professional services $37,000; Precinct 3 road and bridge maintenance repairs $20,000; and other vehicle, tire and fuel line items. Speaker 5 confirmed transfers would be completed as budget amendments.

Speaker 1 reported accounts payable of $1,030,079.89 and noted several bills pending. The court also postponed discussion of fees for North Parkville because an attendee (Terry) was absent and will bring that item back at the next meeting.

The court moved to adjourn to an executive session after the financial business on the agenda.
