Commissioners acknowledge $200,000 encumbrance for out-of-county inmate housing, opioid-abatement legal work and other purchase orders
Summary
The board acknowledged several encumbrances including a $200,000 purchase order to the Comanche County Facilities Authority for housing inmates outside the county and a $5,000 opioid-abatement fund PO to the Center for Economic Development Law for public trust formation.
During the July 6 meeting the board acknowledged multiple encumbrances and purchase orders recorded for July 2026, including a $200,000 purchase order (PO #270173) from the County Use Tax Fund to the Comanche County Facilities Authority to pay for housing inmates outside Comanche County for the month of July.
The board also acknowledged smaller monthly POs: $5,000 to Court Related Services for alternative sentencing, $5,000 to Court Related Services for pre-trial release services, $5,000 to Collins, Zorn & Wagner for professional legal services to the Comanche County Facilities Authority, and a $5,000 PO from the Opioid Abatement Settlement Fund to the Center for Economic Development Law to provide services in connection with formation of a public trust related to the opioid abatement settlement.
These encumbrances were recorded on the purchase order calendar and acknowledged as part of the consent agenda; the minutes show the entries and contract identities but do not include line-item invoices or detailed budgets in the published minutes.
