Summary
The Commissioners Court authorized application for 2026 unclaimed capital credits, approved a line‑item transfer to train a new Justice of the Peace employee (May 11–27), approved the Treasurer's report, amended the budget with line‑item transfers, and approved payment of bills, all by unanimous votes.
At the April 27 meeting, the Jones County Commissioners Court approved several financial and personnel items.
Commissioner Roy Spalding moved to authorize County Judge Dale Spurgin to apply for the county’s 2026 unclaimed capital credits; Commissioner Lonnie Vivian seconded and the motion passed unanimously (Exhibit E). The court also approved a line‑item transfer to pay a new Justice of the Peace employee at the chief deputy salary while the employee is trained from May 11 through May 27; funding for the training period was moved from the autopsy line. Commissioner Lonnie Vivian moved the transfer, Commissioner Roy Spalding seconded and the court voted aye.
The Treasurer's report was presented and approved following a motion by Commissioner Lonnie Vivian and a second by Commissioner Roy Spalding (Exhibit F). The court then voted to amend the budget and approve additional line‑item transfers (Exhibit G), and approved payment of the bills as presented by the Auditor after a motion by Commissioner Roy Spalding and a second by Commissioner Joel Spraberry. All votes on these items were unanimous.
