Comal County approves personnel changes, ARPA purchases and several budget transfers
Summary
The court approved a revised assistant road superintendent job description, reclassified an assistant county engineer position to Engineer‑in‑Training, approved ARPA-funded FF&E for the public health EOC and several line‑item transfers including $390,000 for inmate medical services and purchases for sheriff equipment.
Comal County commissioners approved multiple personnel and budget items during the Oct. 31 meeting. The court approved a revised job description for assistant road superintendent positions to reflect CDL program oversight and a new drone‑licensing requirement. The court also reclassified an assistant county engineer position to Engineer‑in‑Training to expand the candidate pool; staff noted no budget amendment was necessary and explained the EIT→PE progression.
The court approved requisitions for furniture, fixtures and equipment for the Comal County Public Health Emergency Operations Center using American Rescue Plan Act funds and authorized multiple line‑item transfers: $390,000 for inmate contract medical services, funds to buy a replacement ID printer and separate laminator for the sheriff's office, and purchases for 185 pistol slides, red‑dot sights and holsters. Captain Schrader requested the inmate medical transfer, and the sheriff explained the need for separate ID equipment after a failure in the combined unit.
