Commissioners approve budget transfers, ratify order and OK payment agreement with Howard Technologies
Summary
At the March 4 meeting, Tom Green County Commissioners approved FY25 line-item transfers and budget amendments, ratified an order described as '21 Burn Man,' and approved a payment agreement for an audio-visual project with Howard Technologies, all by voice vote during a brief session.
Tom Green County Commissioners’ Court held a short meeting March 4 and approved several routine administrative items, including budget line‑item transfers, an order ratification and a payment agreement for an already-authorized audio-visual project.
S1 presented Item 5: FY25 line-item transfers and budget amendments. The court recorded specific transfers including $5,872 moved in the general fund to auto repair for county detention and $3,385 from Justice of the Peace reserves to equipment to purchase a laptop and bag for JP Ford. S1 also noted the treasurer's claims register totaled $644,413.19 and the bills paid report included a $1,144.53 void. Commissioner S2 moved, a second was given and the court approved the transfers by voice vote.
On Item 6 the court considered an item transcribed as '21 Burn Man' and voted to ratify and continue the order until further action as needed; the motion passed on a voice vote.
On Item 13 the court approved a payment agreement with Howard Technologies that defines project scope and permits progress payments for an audio-visual input project previously approved on Dec. 17, 2024. A county representative said the payment agreement allows progress payments and reiterated the project scope; commissioners approved the agreement by voice vote.
Why it matters: The budget adjustments and payment agreement enable continued procurement and operations for county detention, office equipment and the court's audio-visual upgrade. The ratification/continuation action keeps the referenced order active until commissioners decide otherwise.
The court conducted these approvals by voice vote and did not record roll-call tallies in the transcript. With no other business, the court adjourned at 8:42 a.m.
