Commissioners approve $50.58 fuel reimbursement for sheriff's office; judge records lone No vote
Summary
The court approved a $50.58 payment for a fuel purchase missing a receipt for the sheriff's office, with a 4–1 vote. Commissioner Nora Salinas suggested officers photograph receipts to avoid similar issues in the future.
Brooks County Commissioners voted 4–1 to approve payment to Valero for $50.58 to cover a fuel purchase that lacked a receipt. The motion was moved by Commissioner Eduardo "Eddie" Garza and seconded by Aaron Trevino; Judge Eric Ramos was recorded as the sole No vote.
During discussion Commissioner Nora Salinas suggested that officers photograph receipts upon receipt "that way these things don't happen," a step she said could reduce follow-up reimbursements for missing paperwork. The payment will be processed to clear the missing-receipt item from county accounts.
