Dallas County board approves budget transfers and sets June 2 hearing for up to $8.5 million bonds
Summary
Supervisors adopted four budgeted operating transfers totaling several million dollars and set a June 2 public hearing on general-obligation sales-tax bonds with a not-to-exceed amount of $8.5 million to finance a previously discussed construction project.
The Dallas County Board of Supervisors adopted four budgeted operating-transfer resolutions and authorized bond hearing language for a potential general-obligation sales-tax bond issuance.
Resolutions adopted included: a $2 million transfer from the General Basic Fund to the Capital Fund (Resolution 2026-0059), the second-half transfer to the Conservation Fund (Resolution 2026-0060), a $855,011 second transfer to Secondary Roads (Resolution 2026-0061), and a transfer from Rural Basic to Secondary Roads of $2,260,642 (Resolution 2026-0062). Staff explained transfers follow the county's tax-receipts schedule, which is concentrated in September and March.
On the bond item, staff and bond counsel proposed structuring a general-obligation sales-tax bond issuance with a "not to exceed $8.5 million" cap to cover the project costs (previously estimated at just over $7.1 million, plus alternates and issuance costs). The board set a public hearing for June 2 at 9:30 a.m. to consider bond issuance and related language.
Board members voted to adopt the individual resolutions and the motion to set the bond hearing with the not-to-exceed amount included in the motion language.
