Simpson County adopts FY23/24 budget ordinance after split vote
Summary
Simpson County Fiscal Court approved FY23/24 Budget Ordinance No. 220.251 on second reading after a 3‑2 vote; commissioners split along two dissenting votes while the court also approved routine financial items and scheduled a special-called meeting for July 5.
Simpson County Judge/Executive Mason Barnes and the Fiscal Court adopted the FY23/24 budget ordinance (No. 220.251) on second reading Tuesday after a split vote by the magistrates.
Magistrate Marty Chandler moved for second reading and final passage of the budget ordinance; Magistrate Scott Poston seconded. The court recorded votes of yes from Marty Chandler, Scott Poston and Judge Barnes, and no votes from Jeffrey Burr and Myron Thurman. The minutes record the ordinance’s adoption as passed on the motion.
The ordinance covers the county’s FY23/24 appropriations and will guide department spending for the coming year; the transcript does not specify an effective date or line-item changes beyond the budget transfers separately approved the same day.
The approval came amid routine fiscal actions taken at the meeting, including acceptance of vendor bids and a series of budget transfers. Judge Barnes noted several upcoming community events before adjourning; the court set a special-called meeting for July 5.
The transcript records the adoption vote and the motion details; no additional debate on the ordinance’s line items is provided in the minutes.
