Ward County commissioners approve emergency 2025 budget amendments
Summary
The Ward County Commissioners on June 9 unanimously adopted emergency budget amendments affecting multiple county funds, citing a "grave public necessity" and recording line-item changes and dollar adjustments for 2025.
The Ward County Commissioners' Court unanimously approved emergency budget amendments on June 9, 2025, saying "an emergency has arisen and a grave public necessity exists" in several county funds. Commissioner Guy Thames moved to adopt the amendments and Commissioner Eddie Nelms seconded the motion, which the court adopted without objection.
The amendments named the affected funds including the General Fund, Road and Bridge Fund, Farm-to-Market Road Fund, County Attorney Check Fees Fund, multiple forfeiture and restitution funds, County Clerk RM&P Fund, hospital medical benefits and Ward County employee medical benefits funds and the Hospital Operating Fund. The transcript records line-item adjustments and dollar figures associated with the motion (for example, entries showing $55,110.00 and offsets of the same amounts), but the court did not read a fuller public explanation at the time of the vote. The motion as presented was limited to approving the listed budget amendments for 2025.
The court took the vote during its regular session in the Commissioners' Courtroom in Monahans. No dissenting votes or recorded abstentions were noted. The motion was recorded as "Motion made by Commissioner Thames, seconded by Commissioner Nelms and unanimously adopted by the Court to approve budget amendments for the county as follows."
