Summary
On Aug. 5 the court continued FY27 budget discussions across multiple departments including the 33rd & 424th DA offices, Public Defender's Office, Probation and the four Justice of the Peace courts; no final budget actions were taken.
Burnet County Commissioners held department-level budget hearings Aug. 5 covering the District Attorney's offices (33rd and 424th), the Public Defender's Office, Probation, and the four Justice of the Peace courts. Department leaders provided workload and staffing context; packets included detailed line-item budgets and JP clerk job descriptions.
Several Justices and clerks spoke (Roxanne Nelson, Lisa Whitehead, Jane Marie Hurst, Frank Reilly) and county finance staff (Treasurer Karrie Crownover, County Clerk Vicinta Stafford) addressed budget assumptions and proposed step/grade adjustments. Commissioner Joe Don Dockery later withdrew his motion on JP items d–g, and the court recorded no action on the item overall.
