Maverick County approves budget amendments to finish Las Quintas drainage and clears payables
Summary
Commissioners approved budget reallocations including a $7,900 transfer from fund 339 to complete a Las Quintas drainage project and a $10,000 operating-to-contingency adjustment; the court also approved accounts payable and warrant spending and adjourned.
Maverick County Commissioners unanimously approved several budget amendments, including a reallocation intended to complete drainage work in the Las Quintas area of Precinct 1 and an intra-department operating adjustment, and the court approved accounts payable and warrant spending before adjourning.
During consideration of agenda item 58, officials discussed moving funds within departments to cover construction work on a drainage project in Las Quintas (Precinct 1). The presiding official and staff identified transfers involving the 339 fund and noted a shortfall of $7,900 needed to complete the project. The presiding official said part of the cost would be covered from Road and Bridge funds with the additional portion coming from the 339 fund.
Staff and officials clarified ledger details: a proposed removal of $7,900 from account 3390109300 to be applied to a precinct construction line (listed as 3394587 in the discussion) and credits to accounts in the 457 series as recorded in the agenda materials. The court also considered an operating debit of $10,000 from account 100-03120-400 to contingencies (account 1000000400) as an intra-department amendment.
Commissioner Rios moved to approve the offered budget amendments; Commissioner Morales seconded the motion and the court approved the amendments by unanimous voice vote. The court then approved accounts payable (item 59) on a motion by Commissioner Morales, seconded by Commissioner Rios, and approved a motion to authorize warrant spending moved by Commissioner Ramos and seconded by Commissioner Carrillo; both motions were announced as approved unanimously.
The presiding official announced the withdrawal of a previously filed request for executive session on item 22 and closed the meeting; members were told they would be contacted the next day to arrange follow-up budget meetings with department heads.
The transcript does not list dollar amounts for the law-firm engagement or a complete roll-call tally for votes; the budget amendments and account numbers listed above appear as stated in the meeting record.
