Issue: On June 24, 2019, the Commissioners Court approved the amount of $8,000 to replace the flooring in the 406th District Courtroom, jury room and office area. Unfortunately, these funds only cover a great portion of the charge for the replacement of the courtroom's area flooring and additional funds are needed in order to replace the flooring in the office area. Also, the courtroom's seats and upholstery are in very bad condition due to the excessive wear and need to be replaced with heavy duty foam and fabric. Note: The $10,170.82 in the Materials and Supplies account include the $8,000.00 approved by the Commissioners Court on June 24, 2019.
Solution: Obtaining the Commissioners' Court approval of the line item transfers to be able to replace the courtroom's and office area's flooring and the foam and upholstery for the courtroom's seats.
Result: The courtroom and office area flooring will be replaced with commercial heavy duty carpet and the foam and upholstery of the courtroom's seats will be replaced with heavy duty foam and fabric.
