County signs routine renewals, approves Texas Feeding Texans grant certification and reviews budget transfers

The court considered a set of routine fiscal and administrative items. Staff reported that retiree medical premiums had minimal changes overall while prescription costs increased by $1.89; the court approved the retiree insurance renewals by motion and voice vote. The annual workers' compensation questionnaire required by the county’s insurer was presented and the court authorized staff to submit it.

A resolution certifying that Scurry County had made a grant to the Scurry County Senior Center under the Texas Feeding Texans Grant and affirming fiscal‑agent approvals was read and approved. The clerk also presented an annual service agreement for the armory generator for $1,125 per year with a requested contract edit to remove a prevailing‑party attorney‑collection fee clause; staff said they would seek approval only if the vendor agreed to that change.

The auditor presented multiple line‑item transfers and budget amendments across departments: examples included county attorney training ($900), auditor office supplies ($4,740), youth center maintenance ($1,000), EMS capital outlay transfers, and permanent improvements for courthouse security cameras and access controls (amounts presented). Staff said updated budget analysis reports would be distributed to commissioners’ boxes and that appropriate transfers would be processed in the county’s financial system.

What’s next: staff will file and post updated budget reports and process required transfers and contract edits as discussed.
