Scurry County approves budget amendments after $1 million certified revenue
Summary
After certifying $1 million from Intersect Power LLC for road damage repairs in Precinct 1, commissioners approved line-item transfers and budget amendments allocating funds to road materials, capital outlay and lease payments across precincts.
Scurry County Commissioners approved a package of line-item transfers and budget amendments after staff certified $1,000,000 in revenue from Intersect Power LLC that will fund road repairs.
The court recorded the revenue certification in open session: Unidentified Speaker 6 explained the $1 million payment was tied to road damage and listed an additional $30,360 for out-of-county prisoner costs. Commissioners then considered a budget amendment package that redirected certified revenue to road material and construction accounts across precincts.
What passed: The court moved $500,000 into road materials and capital outlay for Precinct 1, allocated $350,000 to Precinct 4 for road material and construction, put $125,000 into Precinct 3's road material and construction account and identified $48,000 for Precinct 3 lease payments. Unidentified Speaker 2 moved to include the budget amendment in the motion and the motion was seconded on the floor; commissioners responded to the motion with a general "All in favor" call and the item proceeded to processing and signature steps.
Why it matters: The certified revenue and subsequent amendments immediately add capital to precinct roadwork budgets and will enable material purchases and lease payments detailed by county staff. Commissioners discussed procedural steps for capturing signatures and uploading the signed amendment into the county's agenda software.
Next steps: Staff will route signed budget amendments through the county system and track expenditure of the certified revenue. Commissioners recessed to executive session later in the meeting to continue budget work.
