Starr County Commissioners Court 06/29/2026

The Starr County Commissioners Court held a special meeting on June 29, 2026, primarily to review and approve the county's external audit reports for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2025. The external auditor presented a clean opinion on the financial statements, noting that the general fund nearly broke even with a slight decrease in fund balance, while capital investments increased by $5 million due to bond financing. The audit also covered the international bridge and gas system, both showing net profits. The court discussed budget variances, including lower-than-expected property tax collections and new accounting pronouncements requiring recognition of leases as assets and liabilities. Following the presentation, the court unanimously approved the audit reports and a budget amendment. No new contracts or procurement actions were discussed during the meeting.
