Tax office seeks $250,000 for collections software; 4‑H asks for level funding
Summary
Miss King requested $250,000 be set aside for a new collections software package (the appraisal district is also upgrading and expects higher costs); a 4‑H representative asked the court for level funding and invited commissioners to an awards banquet in August.
Miss King told the court she and the appraisal district have been demoing collections software and asked the court to set aside $250,000 so the county is ready to fund a new collections package when procurement begins in spring. “If you want a good software, that's what you're looking at,” she said, noting the county's last material upgrade was about 20 years ago.
King also said the appraisal district has a related software and staffing increase, and that many counties are seeing appraisal‑district cost increases tied to software and staffing; she did not ask the court to reject those appraisal district increases, but described them as an external cost driver the court should expect.
Separately, a 4‑H representative thanked the court for past support, described recent summer camps and outreach (archery, sewing, robotics, photography), requested level funding for the coming year, and invited commissioners to a 4‑H awards banquet in August. The court acknowledged the request and expressed appreciation for the program's work in the community.
No formal vote was taken on either request during the session.
