County Passes Budget Amendments
Meeting in special session Sept. 29, the Glasscock County’s Commissioners’ Court, with Commissioner Mark Halfmann absent, passed fifty budget amendments to end the fiscal year. Most of the amendments were from within the same departments and involved moving funds from one line item to another.
Some of the amendments which involved transferring money from one department or separate area to another were: $750 from the general government miscellaneous fund to the sheriff/tax assessor-collector’s equipment fund; $800 to the jail apartment’s electricity fund from the general government miscellaneous fund; $4,500 to jail repairs and upkeep from general government miscellaneous fund; $7,500 to Garden City fire department expenses from general government ambulance expense; $12,000 to Garden City fire department expenses from road crew equipment; $4,000 to St. Lawrence fire department expenses from general government miscellaneous fund; $7,200 to appraisal district valuation engineers from general government miscellaneous fund, and $3,500 to community center repairs and upkeep from general government miscellaneous fund.
The commissioners also approved a resolution declaring October Czech Heritage Month in the county and approved another one declaring November Home Care and Hospice Month.
In other action, the court reported to the Texas Department of Transportation that there are 218 miles of county roads in Glasscock County and went into executive (closed) session to discuss election personnel, but took no official action.
