Atascosa County approves personnel actions, reimbursements, security quote and $500 earnest payment for CDBG-GLO land acquisition

Atascosa County Commissioners on April 13 approved a range of routine and financial items, including personnel actions, vendor agreements, reimbursements and a small earnest payment tied to a federal grant.

Chief Kaiser of the sheriff's office explained a deputy struck a homeowner's mailbox during a night call; he said the homeowner repaired the mailbox and sought reimbursement. The court approved payment of $8,055 to property owner Ian Anderson under the statute referenced in the record. The commission also approved the hiring of two new deputies, Carlos Monguya Jr. and Albert Martinez, who had completed the police academy, and the reassignment of an existing employee, Kyler Hardy, to a corrections-officer position.

Justin Bosquez from IT presented a quote from Guardian Security Solutions to adjust and install camera views at the tax office to ensure coverage of transaction counters and exterior points; the court approved acceptance of the quote pending county-attorney review (the transcript's recorded dollar amount is garbled and not fully specified in the public record).

Following executive session, the court approved a $500 earnest payment related to land acquisition for Ruben and Maria Haron under the CDBG-GLO grant E965. The court also read and approved multiple payroll processes and invoice batches (process numbers and amounts were read into the record and approved by motion).

All motions described above were made and carried by voice vote; the transcript does not record roll-call tallies for these votes in open session.
