Willacy County Commissioners Court 11/12/2026

Willacy County Commissioners Court regular meeting, November 12, 2026. The court approved a $304,137, 28-foot landing craft for the Sheriff’s Office, with $27,237 from county capital funds and approximately $276,900 expected from the Operation Lone Star grant. Before ordering, staff were asked to verify cooperative-contract eligibility, obtain a purchase order, and confirm delivery within the grant period. The court also approved a paperless imaging implementation for all three Justice of the Peace offices at $9,600 for the first year and $9,000 annually thereafter, subject to available funds, and approved transitioning county website services to Revised LLC through DCW Data Center Warehouse under a TIPS contract for about $4,600, funded from the general fund with a budget amendment to follow.

The court approved Redstone Park grant-project change orders, with a total not to exceed $28,500; staff said one change order had been negotiated from $11,000 to $5,000 and another was still being negotiated. The work remained within budget, with the construction contract extended to January 11 and grant completion expected by June 2027. The court also approved submitting a 2027 Texas Community Development Block Grant Colonia Fund construction pre-application for up to $1 million with no required match. Other actions included accepting a $174,840 victim-assistance grant and a $10,800 forensic-evidence-testing grant, and approving interlocal agreements with Lyford. A proposal to promote the Possible Dream adult high school on county channels was approved pending legal review.
