The Hays County Commissioners Court agenda on Tuesday, June 20 was a full one — with the court issuing several proclamations, initiating American Rescue Plan Act funding for some county organizations and addressing recent payroll matters.
Commissioners recognized July as Parks and Recreation Month and the month of June as both LGBTQIA+ Pride Month and Children’s Awareness Month. The court also adopted a proclamation recognizing the dedication of a Texas State Historical Subject Marker for Cuauhtémoc Hall. On a separate note, the court developed a plan to rectify recent payroll errors and establish the responsibilities of County Treasurer Daphne Tenorio after the mandate for who handles payroll was shifted from her office to the county’s Budget Office last month.
Hays County Budget Officer Vickie Dorsett requested prior to Tuesday’s meeting that the court implement a payroll reduction authorization process for overpayments to county employees. The budget office stated it has identified various employees that were overpaid and would like the court to implement a salary reduction authorization process for repayment so that it will not create hardship for employees.
