Commissioners table proposal to raise Falfurrias 911 subsidy after HR flags budget-line split
Summary
The court discussed separating a 911 supplies line item and a previously discussed $10,000 subsidy increase from the City of Falfurrias; the court voted unanimously to table the proposal pending staff clarification.
The Commissioners' Court considered an agenda item to increase the City of Falfurrias' subsidy for 911 services. Katy Salinas of human resources told the court that the 911 budget contains a supplies line that may need to be split between 911 addressing and the Indigent Department, complicating a simple subsidy increase. Commissioners noted that $10,000 had been discussed at a prior meeting as a possible increase.
Commissioner Aaron Trevino moved to table the matter; Commissioner Nora Salinas seconded. The motion carried by unanimous roll-call vote and the matter will return to the court after staff clarifies the appropriate line-item accounting and any recommended subsidy figure.
