Commissioners allocate $22,339.43 in unclaimed-property credits to Norma's House
Summary
Lavaca County Commissioners approved distributing $22,339.43 in unclaimed-property capital credits from the Texas Comptroller to Norma's House, a children's advocacy organization, after discussing allowable uses for the funds.
The Lavaca County Commissioners Court voted on June 10 to award $22,339.43 in unclaimed-property capital credits, received through the Texas Comptroller, to Norma's House.
A county staff member reported the amount available from the previous year: "$22,339.43," and a motion was made by Commissioner, Precinct 1 and seconded by Commissioner, Precinct 2 to allocate the funds to Norma's House. The court approved the allocation by voice vote.
During discussion, a commissioner asked whether the funds could provide relief for senior citizens; the court reviewed statutory allowable uses, which include state or local economic development, small or disadvantaged business development, promoting the county and its vicinity, supporting literacy programs and supporting a children's advocacy center. The presiding judge noted that Norma's House provides services to children in need in the county and recommended the allocation for that purpose.
The court directed staff to proceed with the necessary administrative steps to transfer the unclaimed-property capital credits to Norma's House through the Texas Comptroller's process.
