Court approves TAG purchases, allows credit card for TAG travel and expenses
Summary
The court approved purchase of a Digital WatchDog server and licenses for TAG evidence storage and authorized a TAG Unit credit card for travel and expenses, noting the Tag Grant provides $60,000 in training funds. Auditor flagged the office already has an emergency card.
The Midland County Commissioners’ Court authorized purchase of a Digital WatchDog server and licenses to store video evidence generated by TAG pole cameras and approved issuing a dedicated credit card for the TAG Unit to cover travel and expense accounting.
Sheriff Criner and Philip Partin, Permian Basin TAG Administrator, told the court the server purchase will “provide storage for video evidence on pole cameras in TAG operations.” Commissioners approved both items unanimously; Commissioner Charles Hall moved the purchases and Commissioner Jeff Somers seconded the credit-card action. Auditor Veronica Morales noted the Sheriff’s Office already maintains an emergency credit card, but the Tag Grant provides $60,000 in training funds to support TAG-related expenses.
The minutes show the court intended the card to assist in accounting for grant-funded travel and expenditures and did not record additional policy details for card use or vendor limits in the motion.
