Scurry County court agrees to share $6,575 cost for ICMA promotional video

Scurry County court agreed to share the county’s $6,575 portion of a proposed $26,300 ICMA promotional video highlighting 25 communities, a presenter said. The court’s presiding speaker said the International City/County Management Association invited Snyder to be featured and asked the court to split the county’s share with the city, the chamber and DCOS.

Why it matters: The video would promote local economic development and the community’s recent All‑America Cities recognition at a national ICMA convention. County participation would fund a portion of the production and ensure the county appears in the statewide/regional spotlight, a speaker said.

County officials discussed available funds in a BCD account that could cover the expense. A speaker identified roughly $4,500 remaining in the BCD fund and said the county’s share of the video would be $6,575; another speaker said additional county funds could be moved if the court wished to keep the BCD fund open but largely depleted. Speaker 2 moved that the county share the cost; the motion was seconded and the court took the motion without a roll‑call on the public transcript.

The transcript does not record a formal roll‑call tally or name the motion mover and seconder in a recorded vote. The court’s action as spoken in open session was to approve sharing the cost and to explore using remaining BCD funds and other available balances to cover the county’s portion.

Next steps: The presiding speaker asked staff to consult with Angela about the BCD account and proceed with coordinating cost‑sharing with the identified partners.
