Parmer County approves immigration-enforcement grant resolution with language protecting regular sheriff funding
Summary
The Commissioners Court approved Immigration Enforcement Program Grant #IA-000002979, adding language that grant funds will not reduce the sheriff's regular budget allocations. The resolution passed by majority vote after a motion by County Judge Isabel Carrasco.
The Parmer County Commissioners Court voted to approve a resolution authorizing acceptance of Immigration Enforcement Program Grant #IA-000002979 and added language clarifying that any grant monies obtained will not reduce the sheriff’s regular budget funding.
County Judge Isabel Carrasco moved to adopt the updated resolution; Commissioner Kirk Frye seconded and the motion passed by majority vote. The change to the resolution was described by the court as a protection to ensure the county’s regular appropriations for the Sheriff’s Department are not supplanted by grant receipts.
The resolution had been discussed and approved previously, and the court recorded that the new language was added before formal approval at this meeting. No fiscal tally or specific grant amount was recorded in the minutes for this item, and the resolution does not appear in the meeting record with a line-item budget at this session.
The court took no further action beyond approving the resolution with the clarifying language.
