Commissioner Robert Ruiz is visibly pleased with Maverick County Auditor Sandra Watkins after she informed Commissioner's Court of a significant amount of user's fees she came across when working on her report this month. The auditor's report, however also shows transfers from FYE 2014, 2013 and prior years which require budget transfers to be made.

Maverick County Commissioner's Court and the PFC held a triumvirate of gatherings in one fell swoop as the first of two public hearings on the proposed 2015-2016 tax rate went off without a hitch as no one showed up according to Commissioner Robert Ruiz who presided over the proceedings in the absence of County Judge David Saucedo.
Next up were the regular agenda items for the Special Meeting of Commissioner's Court which included favorable reports from both Maverick County Auditor Sandra Watkins who reported she had found usage fees from a company who built aircraft here in Maverick County which could constitute over $200,000.00 in such fees for the county's coffers as well as from Maverick County Treasurer Rito Valdez who reported they are seeking funds in order to liquidate any and all expenses dealing with employee salaries and vendors of the now defunct Maverick County Detention Center.
The congregation which was less Judge Saucedo and County Commissioner Jose Luis Rosales then retired to executive session for the better part of two hours and when they emerged, now apparently as the PFC, Human Resources Director Jesus Sanchez made a motion that “Maverick County Sheriff Tom Schmerber on behalf of the PFC provide all keys and security codes to the trustee (of UMB Bank, the bondholders of the facility) as discussed in closed session and for attorney (legal counsel Robert Wilson) to proceed as discussed in closed session.”
