Court approves EMS‑building time extension, bans fishing at golf‑course ponds and approves budget transfers
Summary
At its June meeting the Scurry County court granted a 60‑day no‑cost extension for the EMS building, approved a ban on fishing at golf‑course ponds, authorized bids for golf‑course cart‑pad replacement and library parking quotes, and approved auditor reports and a set of line‑item transfers and budget amendments.
Scurry County commissioners handled a package of routine but consequential items at their meeting, approving construction schedule relief, operational rules, and budget movements.
EMS building extension: The court granted a 60‑day no‑cost extension for the EMS building project after Speaker 6 (project contractor) reported that a concrete batch mix failed strength testing, the contractor switched plants, and the foundation delay will require roughly 60 extra days; Speaker 1 moved and seconded a motion to give the extension (SEG 162–176, 190–197).
Fishing at golf‑course ponds: The court moved and seconded to prohibit fishing at the county golf‑course ponds, citing public‑safety concerns (risk of golfers hitting anglers) and water‑quality/eating risks; officials instructed staff to post signage and said alternative fishing areas on trails could be used (SEG 1210–1256).
Capital and facilities actions: Commissioners authorized soliciting a quote for reconfiguring the library parking lot (to add accessible spaces and improve flow) and agreed to put the golf‑course cart‑pad replacement (approx. 5,225 sq ft) out for bids, with review at the first regular August meeting (Aug. 5) (SEG 357–576, 1258–1347).
Budget and auditors: The court approved the county auditors’ May 2025 report (online) and approved several line‑item transfers: precinct 2 capital outlay $32,500 for a gooseneck trailer and precinct 4 tire/repair transfers of $5,000, plus three budget amendments to place SB‑22 funds into salary lines and an election security grant repayment entry (SEG 1607–1648).
Next steps: Staff will obtain lifeguard‑staffing and cost details for the Snyder High pool request, return a library parking quote at the next regular session, and finalize bid documents for golf‑course concrete work.
