Court approves $40,655 appropriation to shore up sheriff's fuel and lubricants account
Summary
After discussion about invoice timing and padding in projections, the quorum court approved a $40,655.58 appropriation into the sheriff's fuel, oils and lubricants account to cover a running shortfall.
The Quorum Court approved an appropriation of $40,655.58 into the sheriff's fuel, oils and lubricants budget after the sheriff's office reported the line was in the red.
The sheriff's representative explained the fuel budget was short after reviewing recent invoices and projecting needs for the remainder of the year. Members discussed the monthly billing cycle and timing (covering three months) and whether the packet estimate included sufficient padding. The sheriff's office noted a recent unusually large bill had increased the shortfall.
The court voted to adopt the appropriation; members indicated they would revisit cleanup appropriations if actual invoices differ from projections.
