Guadalupe County road crews could gain a used truck under a budget change scheduled for commissioners’ consideration Nov. 17. The proposed purchase is a 2017 Peterbilt 579 single-axle fifth-wheel truck.
Guadalupe County proposes taking $35,000 from its Road and Bridge fund balance to buy a used truck. The proposal would add a truck to the county's Road and Bridge equipment budget, while two smaller transfers would shift existing money for County Attorney equipment and a Precinct 2 constable cell phone budget.

The County Attorney's proposed $2,033 transfer would move money from office supplies to controlled assets. Its list includes two monitors, a scanner and a printer for a new employee, plus a safe. A separate $2,232 transfer would move money from the Precinct 2 constable's telephone and miscellaneous lines to establish a cell phone budget.
All three documents are requests for commissioners' consideration, not adopted changes. The Nov. 17 decision will establish whether the truck purchase receives the proposed budget authority and whether the two smaller transfers take effect. Residents can inspect the truck's funding and description in the linked Road and Bridge amendment.
