Court reconsiders and approves disputed invoice after initial abstention
Summary
Judge Umphress initially removed a Timekeeper invoice from the accounts vote at the request of Sheriff T‑Bob Hauger; the court later reconsidered and approved the Timekeeper invoice by unanimous vote (5‑0).
A procedural change at the Sept. 22 Jack County Commissioners Court resulted in the approval of an invoice that had been set aside earlier in the meeting. Judge Brian Keith Umphress moved to approve all accounts and claims but removed an invoice from Timekeeper at the request of County Sheriff T‑Bob Hauger; the initial vote on the accounts carried with Commissioner Gary Oliver recorded as abstaining.
Later in the meeting Judge Umphress moved to return to the payment of claims item and reconsider the Timekeeper invoice. Commissioner Oliver seconded the motion to reconsider and the court voted unanimously to revisit the matter. A subsequent motion to approve the Timekeeper bill was made by Judge Umphress, seconded by Commissioner Oliver, and passed unanimously (5‑0).
The minutes do not list the dollar amount of the Timekeeper invoice; the record shows only the procedural steps and final approval.
