Ward County approves emergency budget amendments across multiple funds
Summary
The Ward County Commissioners' Court unanimously approved emergency budget amendments June 23, 2025, reallocating funds across the General Fund, Road & Bridge Fund and several forfeiture and benefit accounts; the Court also recorded a $2,000 increase for Road & Bridge utilities and a $20,000 hospital consulting entry.
The Ward County Commissioners' Court unanimously adopted a package of emergency budget amendments at its June 23, 2025 meeting in Monahans. The Court’s action followed a staff report noting "an emergency has arisen" requiring adjustments to the General Fund, Road and Bridge Fund, hospital funds and multiple forfeiture and benefit accounts.
Commissioner Guy Thames moved to approve the amendments and Commissioner Eddie Nelms seconded; the motion was adopted unanimously by the four members present (Judge Greg Holly, Commissioners Thames, Billy Redmon and Eddie Nelms). The package includes line-item transfers and adjustments cited in the record, including a $2,000 increase in Road & Bridge expense for utilities and a series of General Fund changes that, in aggregate, reallocate tens of thousands of dollars across departments. A separate entry documents a $20,000 revenue and a $20,000 consulting expense tied to the Hospital Operating Fund.
The Court did not attach conditions to the amendments at the meeting; several line items and account codes were listed in the record for accounting staff to implement. The amendments were recorded in the minutes and accompanied by the signed budget amendment paperwork dated June 19, 2025.
