Regular Meeting Nov 10, 2026

The Liberty County Commissioners Court regular meeting was held November 10, 2026. Procurement and infrastructure actions included approval of a $5 million Texas General Land Office CDBG-DR contract (No. 27-43-006-F945) for 2024 disaster-related infrastructure projects, with the judge authorized to sign. The court also approved mitigation-plan amendments that would make county and local projects more competitive for future funding, including road reconstruction, sewer and water-line work, and wastewater facilities. Annual materials bids were approved as renewals with largely the same vendors, and a minimum 36-month research-services contract for the 253rd District Court was approved. The court approved an engagement letter with Bickerstaff Heath Delgado Acosta LLP for bond-counsel services related to public improvement districts and associated bonds, and approved a fire-protection agreement with Denver’s Volunteer Fire Department.

The court voted 3–2 to provide $30,000 each to three emergency service districts, for a total of $90,000, subject to contract and reporting requirements. Jail-repair work was reported as ongoing, including repairs to exhaust-system actuators, a planned ceiling project, and installation of about 30 cameras; no new jail-repair award was approved at this meeting. The court accepted certain River Ranch roads and public infrastructure into county maintenance, while tabling another maintenance-period item and Colony Ridge-related items for further review. It took no action on Cotton Commercial USA’s request for approximately $276,254.85 for post-fire jail rebuilding work. A transfer of a 2015 Ford Taurus to surplus was denied, leaving the vehicle with Constable Precinct 1.
