Scurry County approves EMS capital transfers and a $931,352.58 accounts-payable packet

Scurry County Commissioners on March 17 approved a series of budget transfers to cover senior center expenses and EMS capital costs and accepted an accounts-payable packet that included $931,352.58 in payroll.

The court approved two senior-center transfers: $1,500 from operating to office supplies to cover three new computers and chairs, and $300 from operating to postage to cover extra mailing costs, a staff member (S5) said. "The first line of transfer is for the senior center into office supplies out of operating for $1,500," S5 said.

The court also approved EMS capital transfers. S5 described one transfer of $5,001.50 for emergency medical supplies and another EMS capital outlay of $19,500 as a second and final invoice for a parking cover project. "This is in capital $5,001.50. Funds requested to be transferred to EMS, Texas class, EMS Capital 5,000 plus line to purchase emergency medical supplies approved by commissioner's court on 03/17/2026," S5 said.

Commissioner S2 moved to approve the line-item transfers; the motion was accepted by voice. The transcript does not record a roll-call vote or individual vote tallies.

On accounts payable, S5 noted the packet covered four days (Tuesday–Friday) and included payroll totaling $931,352.58. "There was payroll included, but it was $931,352.58," S5 said, adding a caution that the county should avoid unnecessary spending. The court approved the accounts-payable packet by voice vote; a roll-call tally was not provided in the record.

The actions complete routine financial business and authorize staff to implement the transfers and payments. No additional conditions or amendments were recorded in the transcript.
