Kerr County Commissioners' Court Agenda, November 9, 2026

At its November 9, 2026 meeting, the Kerr County Commissioners’ Court approved an open-end lease-rate quote from Enterprise Fleet Management for a 2027 Chevrolet Suburban and a 2027 Ford F-150 for the Extension Office. It also approved a Johnson Controls inspection and maintenance contract for the juvenile detention facility’s fire alarm and sprinkler systems; the vendor said the renewed contract costs $700 more per year for the same service. The Court ratified an emergency JCW Construction contract, not to exceed $5,000, to repair a guardrail on Wilson Creek Road. It accepted four responses to the request for qualifications for engineering services for the flood-damaged Flat Rock Dam project and referred them to a selection review committee; no firm was selected at this meeting.

The Court accepted several grants, including $82,500 for a criminal-justice vehicle replacement grant, a grant for a swiftwater rescue boat, a victim-rights coordinator grant, and a $275,000 Rural Law Enforcement Salary Assistance Program award. It also approved a donated body-armor item, described as saving the county nearly $2,000, and approved mutual-assistance contracts with volunteer fire departments. The Court approved five budget adjustments and payment of $1,326,585.44 in invoices. Flood-recovery discussion covered FEMA and SBA assistance, river debris management, and future recovery work; officials said debris-removal plans and cost estimates were still being developed, with no action taken on those plans at this meeting.
