Woods County commissioners approve minutes, financial transfers and new fund for district attorney
Summary
At their April 13 meeting, Woods County commissioners approved minutes, warrants and claims, several budget transfers including a $20,000 sales-tax transfer to the fire fund, authorized courthouse-lawn use for the Alva Chamber’s First Friday event contingent on restroom facilities, and established fund 7301 for the district attorney.
Woods County commissioners on April 13 approved routine meeting business, several budget transfers and the creation of a new trust fund for the district attorney’s office.
The board opened by approving the minutes of a special April 6, 2026 meeting and then voted to approve warrants and claims. Commissioners recognized National Telecommunicator Week and offered brief thanks to dispatch personnel who were present or identified themselves during the meeting.
The panel granted the Alva Chamber of Commerce permission to use the courthouse lawn for a First Friday “piesta stroll” scheduled for May 1, 2026, but conditioned the permit on the provision of restroom facilities. A commissioner noted the chamber had discussed food trucks and the need for toilets; commissioners approved the permit with that requirement.
On financing matters, the board approved transfers of highway CIRB appropriations to personal services for highway districts D1 and D2 as recommended on the agenda. The agenda lists the D1 and D2 amounts in the packet but portions of those figures were unclear in the transcript. Commissioners also approved a $20,000 transfer from a sales-tax building account to the sales-tax fire fund to cover insurance and related expenses.
Commissioners corrected the agenda item that initially named the clerk’s office: they said fund number 7301 is to be established for the district attorney’s office as a trust-and-agency account for controlled-substance matters. Participants described the allocation discussed in the meeting as very small (transcribed as about $36) and said county staff had not yet clarified allowable expenditures from that fund.
The board approved blanket purchase orders as presented and then adjourned. Most votes took the form of voice assent; the transcript records motions, seconds and unanimous "all in favor" responses but does not show roll-call tallies by name.
What’s next: items that received no action at this meeting included establishing internal accounts within fund 7301; the board did not set spending procedures for the new fund during this session.
