Commissioners Question '1400' Building Account After Discrepancy in Repair vs. Personnel Costs

Nueces County commissioners pressed Public Works staff at a budget workshop about how building-maintenance costs are coded after noticing what one commissioner called, “something wrong with this picture.” The court discussed department 1400 (general courthouse building upkeep), how its line items relate to other building accounts and whether salary and benefit costs are being shown in separate departments rather than inside 1400 itself.
