Liberty County commissioners approve transfer to cover jail overtime
Summary
At a special Oct. 11 meeting, the Liberty County Commissioners Court approved a transfer of funds to the sheriff's office to pay overtime for county correctional officers; the transfer amount was not specified on the record.
At about 1 p.m. on Oct. 11, the Liberty County Commissioners Court approved a transfer of funds to the Liberty County Sheriff's Office to cover overtime compensation for county correctional officers.
Speaker 1 introduced the item on behalf of the county auditor's office, noting the matter had been discussed at length previously and that the court "had a plan to move forward." A motion to approve the transfer was recorded in the minutes as made by "Greg" and seconded by "Bruce." The court conducted a voice vote; Speaker 1 called, "All in favor, say aye," and the motion was approved with no nays recorded on the transcript.
The record does not specify the dollar amount of the transfer or any line-item budget adjustments; minutes show only that the transfer is to "pay overtime compensation to Liberty County Correctional Officers." The transcript names Mr. Gott (county auditor's office) as the office bringing the item but does not record additional details about the funding source or the precise amount on the public record.
The court took no further publicly recorded action on implementation at the special session; no follow-up report date or departmental assignment was stated in the meeting record.
