Mills County commissioners approve routine items, hold brief closed session and adjourn
Summary
At their Feb. 9 meeting the court approved corrected minutes, accounts payable, the consent agenda and a Precinct 4 line‑item transfer; recessed into a brief closed session for an employee‑related budget amendment and then tabled that amendment for later consideration.
Mills County Commissioners Court handled several routine administrative matters on Feb. 9 before adjourning.
The court reviewed and approved corrected minutes from its Jan. 26 regular meeting and workshop after a clerical line‑item correction was identified and fixed. Commissioners then approved accounts payable and all items on the consent agenda; county staff reported 74 EMS calls and 29 fire calls for the prior month. In finance updates, staff explained a collections report that initially showed 67% collections likely reflected reporting timing; a follow‑up showed posted items could raise the practical rate closer to 98%.
On fiscal items, Commissioner Williams requested and the court approved a line‑item transfer within Precinct 4 to cover office supplies. Commissioners also discussed a budget amendment tied to an employee matter and recessed into closed session under Texas Government Code §551.074; the court returned after a brief recess and subsequently voted to table consideration of the budget amendment for a later date.
The court concluded with commissioners’ reports on road and bridge work, equipment maintenance and staffing updates and then adjourned the meeting.
