Quorum Court approves a slate of appropriation ordinances for FY2026
Summary
The court approved multiple appropriation ordinances—transfers for workers' compensation trust, HVAC replacement at the court complex, AED replacements, and a small-equipment/special-clothing account (the latter amended after the sheriff supplied revised language). Votes were taken by voice; no recorded roll-call tallies were provided in the transcript.
The quorum court approved a series of appropriation ordinances intended to reconcile post-budget invoices and fund essential county equipment and facilities.
A transfer to cover liabilities in the AAC workers compensation trust was presented after final invoices arrived following budget adoption; staff said the late invoices produced temporary negative balances and the committee approved transfers to resolve those deficits.
An appropriation to replace heating and cooling units at the county court complex was presented as a transfer from the local assistance tribal fund; committee members approved the ordinance after brief consideration. A separate ordinance to fund replacement automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in county buildings was also approved by voice vote.
The court took up an appropriation for small equipment and special clothing; the sheriff provided an amended ordinance with revised wording. The committee voted to accept the amendment and then approved the amended ordinance.
All of these ordinances were approved by voice without documented roll-call tallies in the transcript. No further amendments beyond the sheriff's change were recorded at this meeting.
