Ward County court approves emergency budget amendments across county and hospital funds
Summary
The Ward County Commissioners' Court unanimously approved an emergency amendment on Aug. 12, 2024 to adjust line items across multiple county and hospital funds, citing unforeseen conditions and listing grant revenue entries including $25,000.
The Commissioners' Court of Ward County unanimously approved an emergency budget amendment at its Aug. 12, 2024 meeting to address unforeseen conditions in multiple county and hospital funds. Commissioner Tino Sanchez (Commissioner, Precinct 1) moved to approve the amendments and Commissioner Eddie Nelms (Commissioner, Precinct 4) seconded; the motion passed unanimously.
The amendment affects the General Fund, Road and Bridge Fund, Farm to Market Road Fund, County Attorney check-fees, several sheriff and district attorney forfeiture/seizure funds, County Clerk records management and preservation funds, D.A. restitution, Hospital Medical Benefits Fund, Ward County Employee Medical Benefits Fund and the Hospital Operating Fund. The record includes line-item adjustments and revenue entries; the document shows grant revenue amounts listed as $25,000, $1,500 and $5,000 and a stated decrease to General Fund expenses of $425. The court adopted the amendments as an emergency measure because the items could not be included in the original 2024 budget.
The court also reviewed detailed account-line transfers recorded in the meeting packet, and signed minutes will reflect the approved changes. The amendment was made part of the official record by the unanimous vote.
