Willacy County Commissioners Court 10/19/2026

At its October 19, 2026 special meeting, the Willacy County Commissioners Court discussed two grant-funded purchasing initiatives. The county reported that Texas Health and Human Services Commission grant agreement HHS-S000017220006 had been approved for $671,887 to replace ambulance heart monitors, with plans to purchase 10 units; the county had signed the grant contract and was awaiting direction from DSHS before beginning the purchasing process. The court also considered accepting FY2027 Operation Allstar grant #5768501 for $500,165.70, to support the Sheriff’s Office, District Attorney’s Office, fire departments, and other agencies. A motion to approve was made and seconded, although the transcript does not clearly capture the vote outcome.

The court approved a healthcare services contract with SRT Medical, doing business as Live Oak Health and Urgent Care, for county employees and eligible dependents. Services are billed at 100% of Medicare rates, with claims handled through the county’s plan administrator, 90 Degree Benefits; no total contract value was stated. Separately, a request involving use of a community facility was tabled after the matter was deemed moot. Officials said they would develop a proposed form or policy for use of county facilities for future court consideration; no such policy was adopted at this meeting.
