Special Called Meeting April 8, 2026

The LCCC Commissioners Court held a special called meeting on April 8, 2026, primarily to discuss the potential hiring of a county engineer. The court considered forming an interview and performance review committee tasked with evaluating the duties, costs, and benefits of hiring a county engineer before making any hiring decisions. The committee would also assess the qualifications and expected outcomes associated with the position, as well as the potential need for additional personnel. The discussion emphasized the importance of this role in overseeing county development regulations and permits, which currently lack sufficient engineering oversight. The court agreed to move forward with establishing the committee to provide recommendations during the upcoming budget process. No final hiring decisions or budget approvals were made during this meeting. The court also moved into executive session for consultation on legal and personnel matters but took no further action afterward.
