Court approves receipts and accounts-payable packets; Comptroller flags $300,000 in delayed reimbursements
Summary
Brewster County accepted the receipt register and approved two accounts-payable packets including payments without purchase orders; the Judge expressed concern about roughly $300,000 in delayed reimbursements for reimbursable law-enforcement grants and said some invoices would be slow‑rolled until reimbursements are received.
The county Comptroller presented the receipt register ($32,381.49) and two accounts-payable packets for payment without purchase orders ($41,612.45 and $46,736.53); commissioners moved and approved the registers and both packets after a brief review. The court also approved recurring expense reports presented by the comptroller.
The Judge told the court that reimbursements for federal law-enforcement grants are months behind—putting the county roughly in the $300,000 range for outstanding reimbursements—and said the county will slow some outflows until reimbursements are processed. The Judge said the county will continue to pay deputies' payroll but may delay noncritical purchases pending federal reimbursements.
