Issue: During the recent thunderstorms, one of Webb County's radio communications towers was damaged when it was struck by lightning, leaving various Webb County first responders, including the Webb County Sheriff's Office patrol division, and other law enforcement departments without the proper communications. This is a significant safety issue for the Webb County Sheriff's Office patrol division and the citizens/taxpayers they serve. In addition, the Account #001-2060-6205 (Materials and Supplies) needs funds to cover committed expenses that are forecasted for the remainder of the year.
Solution: In order to pay for the needed repairs to the radio tower, funds need to be transferred to account number 001-2001-6402 (Repair Maint.-Equip). Furthermore, the line item transfers will prevent the accounts from reaching a deficit.
Result: The services and parts for the repair of the radio communication tower will be paid, and the line item transfers will cover forecasted expenses to cover the department's anticipated expenditures for the remainder of the fiscal year.
