Commissioners trim and reprioritize FY2027 draft budget; second draft to reflect multiple edits
Summary
The court adjusted the FY2027 first draft throughout a day‑long session — approving ID‑printer funding, removing a $400,000 chiller pending loan pursuit, approving software purchases (DocuSign, UKG), reallocating records funds to the county clerk, and earmarking $1M for a DA expansion fund.
Rockwall County Commissioners spent most of their Aug. 26 special meeting reshaping the first draft of the FY2027 budget, approving a series of discrete changes and sending staff back to prepare a second draft that incorporates those votes.
Among the actions the court approved were funding a courthouse ID‑printer from the courthouse security fund; directing the auditor to move $1,151,075 from FY26 fund balance into the Tyler software fund (including Cloud Gavel); creating a dedicated DA expansion fund with a $1,000,000 fund‑balance allocation in the second draft; authorizing inclusion of DocuSign for electronic approvals and UKG for timekeeping and payroll; and removing a proposed $400,000 chiller project pending pursuit of a Lone Star low‑interest loan. Commissioners also approved transferring $553,000 from the county clerk’s records management to the general fund to offset clerical salaries and to implement a clerk salary supplement program.
