A meeting of the Lamb County Commissioners’ Court was held Monday morning, May 9, 2022, in the Lamb County Courthouse, where a seven-item agenda was the subject for the day’s business.
The items listed as “Consent Agenda Items” require no deliberation by the Court. Each Court member has the prerogative of removing an item from that agenda, so that it may be considered separately.
After the Call to Order, by Lamb County Judge James Mike DeLoach, the public was invited to make comment about any of the agenda items, but no one made any comment, so the Consent Agenda Items were discussed.
CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS
The eight Consent Agenda items considered were:
a) The minutes of April 25, 2022 from the previous meeting, which appeared to be in order.
b)There were no budget and salary amendments, or line-item transfers that were to be amended or transferred.
c) Bills presented by the County Auditor to be considered for payment included: $155,469.29 from Lamb County; and $397,334.23 from Lamb Healthcare Center, for a combined total of $552,803.52.
d) Action on payrolls, included $148.486.20 for County payroll ending April 22, 2022; and $167,483,47 for Lamb Healthcare Center Payroll ending April 23, 2022.
e) There were no departmental reports to be considered for action.
f) There were no donations for the Lamb County Library to be discussed.
