Ward County commissioners approve emergency budget amendments across multiple funds
Summary
The Commissioners' Court unanimously approved emergency amendments to the 2025 budget on April 14, 2025, reallocating funds across several county accounts, including a $24,000 increase to the DA Forfeiture Fund and a $400 increase to the Lateral Road Fund (Precinct 1).
The Ward County Commissioners' Court unanimously approved an emergency amendment to the 2025 county budget at its April 14 meeting in Monahans. The amendment document lists multiple affected funds, including the General Fund, Road and Bridge Fund, Farm-to-Market Road Fund, County Attorney Check Fees Fund, Sheriff Forfeiture Fund, DA Forfeiture Fund, DA Seizure Fund, County Clerk RM&P Fund, DA Restitution Fund, Hospital Medical Benefits Fund, Ward County Employee Medical Benefits Fund and the Hospital Operating Fund.
Line-item changes recorded in the minutes include a stated $24,000 increase to the DA Forfeiture Fund and a $400 increase to the Lateral Road Fund (Precinct 1). The hospital operating fund amendment shows a $30,000 reallocation of line items (the minutes display a -30,000 and a +30,000 movement), which the Court described as necessary because the conditions were unforeseen and could not be included in the original 2025 budget. The amendment paperwork is dated April 14, 2025 and lists Greg Holly (County Judge) on the document.
