Commissioners approve a string of budget transfers to cover overtime, court and grand jury costs
Summary
The court approved several line‑item transfers covering overtime, jailer pay, prisoner medical and grand jury expenses; all motions passed unanimously.
Brooks County Commissioners on June 3 approved multiple line-item transfers to cover overtime and other departmental needs. Approved moves included $19,500 from County Medical Insurance to accounting/auditing professional fees (012-5-0409-8202 → 012-5-0409-5410); $12,750 from Contract Labor to Appointed Official (012-5-0630-9068 → 012-5-0630-8102) with the auditor directed to create the new line item; and several smaller transfers requested by Commander Esparza to move money into overtime lines and building repairs.
Specific transfers approved in the session included $350 (Registration → Overtime), $300 (Uniforms → Overtime), $12,100 (Jailers → Overtime), $3,000 (Prisoner Medical Expense → Repairs-Maintenance Buildings), and $4,000 (Court Appointed Attorneys — Criminal → Grand Jury). Each motion recorded a unanimous roll-call vote; the county auditor flagged the need to create a new line item for one transfer before funds are posted.
