Commissioners approve routine invoices, transfers; judge objects to one Valero payment
Summary
The court approved a series of invoices and intra-department transfers, including a controversial 4–1 vote to pay a $52 Valero invoice in which County Judge Eric Ramos voted No; other routine payments and transfers passed unanimously.
The Brooks County Commissioners' Court approved a series of routine financial items on March 12, including invoice payments and budget transfers.
Commissioner Eduardo "Eddie" Garza moved to approve the presented bills and invoices; motions were carried for payments including $550 to Falfurrias Publishing for a request-for-offer posting, $394 to Hart Intercivic, and an $80 trash-service reimbursement to Pamela Hamilton. The court approved a budget transfer of $5,000 from road repairs to equipment rental and a $180 transfer from county travel to registration fees. A payment to Valero of $52.00 for missing gas receipts was approved 4–1, with County Judge Eric Ramos recorded as voting No. The minutes do not record a reason for Ramos' dissent.
All other recorded votes on the items were unanimous. County officials recorded motions, seconds and roll-call tallies in the meeting minutes; line-item details and fund codes were provided for the $5,000 transfer (013-5-0033-5826 to 013-5-0033-5865).
