Ward County court approves emergency budget amendments including $128,500 Flock grant
Summary
The Commissioners' Court unanimously approved emergency amendments to Ward County's 2025 budget to account for unplanned needs, including a $128,500 Flock grant and a $30,000 adjustment to the hospital operating fund.
The Commissioners' Court of Ward County approved emergency amendments to the county's 2025 budget at its Sept. 8 meeting in Monahans. Commissioner Redmon moved to adopt the amendments and Commissioner Thames seconded; the motion carried unanimously.
According to the minutes, the amendments add a Flock grant listed as $128,500 to general fund revenue and make multiple expense reallocations across departments (courthouse repairs/maintenance, sheriff equipment, library repairs and other line items). The hospital operating fund also shows a $30,000 revenue and matching expense adjustment. The court described the changes as arising from unforeseen conditions that could not be included in the original 2025 budget.
The budget item was presented as an emergency amendment; the minutes list several department-level line changes (for example, a Flock grant revenue line of $128,500 and a hospital revenue/expense change of $30,000). The court adopted the amendment unanimously after the motion.
The court did not record additional debate in the minutes. The amendment, as adopted, covers changes across general fund, road and bridge fund, hospital medical benefits, employee medical benefits, and other enumerated funds.
