Sheriff’s office budget correction, employee training approved; court held an executive session
Summary
The court approved a 10-cent correction to a federal forfeiture budget requested by the Hunt County Sheriff’s Office, authorized out-of-state training for two employees at an estimated $5,500–$6,000, and recessed to an executive session under Government Code §§551.071 and 551.074.
The court granted a requested correction to a federal forfeiture budget that was off by $0.10 after Oxford of the Hunt County Sheriff’s Office asked the court to authorize the bookkeeping fix and described it as his error.
Oxford also requested and won authorization for two county employees — Virginia Phillips and Ronnie Gold — to attend a users’ seminar for L3 Harris radio products in Melbourne (near Palm Bay), Florida, at an estimated combined cost of $5,500–$6,000. Oxford said the training will help the county maintain and program radios in-house, avoiding outside vendor costs.
After routine business, the court recessed to an executive session at 10:26 a.m. under Government Code sections 551.071 (consultation with attorney) and 551.074 (personnel matters) and returned to open session at 11:36 a.m. No public action was announced upon return before the court adjourned.
