Dimmit County will see a significant financial adjustment as the city agrees to pay $100,000 this fiscal year towards a debt of $367,730 owed to the county. This decision was made during the Dimmit County Commissioner’s Court meeting on October 28, 2024. The city’s commitment will reduce the outstanding balance to $267,737, marking a continued effort to address past financial obligations.

In addition to the debt payment, the city has also agreed to a daily fee of $75 for housing any inmates at the Dimmit County Jail on city orders. This agreement aims to streamline the financial responsibilities associated with law enforcement and corrections.

The court also discussed an interlocal agreement between the Dimmit County Sheriff's Office and Greasel Springs CISD. This agreement is intended to ensure that the partnership is reviewed annually rather than every four years, reflecting a more responsive approach to collaboration between the county and the school district.

The meeting concluded with a vote on the financial agreements, which passed with one opposition from Commissioner Rubakaba and one absence from Commissioner Wong. These decisions are expected to enhance the county's financial management and improve cooperation with local entities, ultimately benefiting the community.
