On May 12, 2025 the Ward County Commissioners' Court unanimously approved emergency amendments to its 2025 budget affecting multiple funds, citing an emergency and “grave public necessity,” and authorized line-item transfers and hospital operating adjustments.
The Ward County Commissioners' Court unanimously approved emergency amendments to its fiscal 2025 budget at a regular meeting on May 12, 2025. The court recorded that "an emergency has arisen and a grave public necessity exists" in several funds and adopted the proposed reallocations after a motion by Commissioner Thames and a second by Commissioner Nelms.
The minutes list affected funds including the General Fund, Road and Bridge Fund, Farm-to-Market Road Fund, County Attorney check fees, Sheriff forfeiture fund, DA forfeiture/seizure/restitution funds, County Clerk RM&P fund, the Ward County Employee Medical Benefits Fund, and multiple hospital-related funds. Several line-item moves are recorded in the minutes (examples include $5,000 transfers and line items showing -$1,000 and -$10,000 entries). The budget memo accompanying the amendments is dated May 8, 2025 and is signed by County Judge Greg Holly; the document shows Leticia C. Rodriguez as the submitting official.
