Comal County Commissioners spent more than two hours receiving more than $116.9 million in 2022 budget requests and listings of priorities from department heads Thursday.
Most requested additional computers and new vehicles, both now waning in availability due to the worldwide computer chip shortage attributed to COVID-19. Others, by county justices of the peace and constables, sought more personnel to handle more duties resulting from a county with explosive growth.
âI thought it went very smoothly,â County Judge Sherman Krause said. âEveryone had an opportunity for input and to explain the requests â especially those for new personnel, reclassifications (of existing county positions), new equipment and new vehicles.Â
