Ward County court approves emergency budget amendments affecting county and hospital funds
Summary
The Commissioners' Court unanimously approved emergency amendments to multiple county funds and the Hospital Operating Fund, including a $73,000 grants revenue entry and $73,000 in specified hospital expenses, during its July 14 meeting in Monahans.
The Ward County Commissioners' Court unanimously adopted emergency budget amendments for several county funds and the Hospital Operating Fund at its July 14 meeting in Monahans. The motion to approve the amendments was made by Commissioner Guy Thames and seconded by Commissioner Eddie Nelms.
A memo dated July 10, 2025 from Leticia C. Rodriguez accompanying the agenda item lists $73,000 in grant revenue for the Hospital Operating Fund and corresponding expenses: Facility renovations ($10,000), rental/equipment ($53,000) and Medicare/Medicaid repayment ($10,000). The written agenda also lists line-item adjustments across the General Fund, Road & Bridge Fund, Farm to Market Road Fund, County Attorney funds, forfeiture and restitution funds, county clerk accounts and employee medical benefits. The agenda notes "No change to General Fund expense" for some entries while other line items show transfers and offsets (examples in the record include adjustments of $10,000, $15,000 and a $-25,400 offset in listed rows).
The Court adopted the amendment as presented; the minutes record the motion and unanimous vote but do not state additional discussion or amendment on the floor. The action was recorded on the July 14 agenda and entered into the minutes.
