Young County Commissioners Court Live

The Young County Commissioners Court held a meeting on March 24, 2026, where several procurement and budget-related matters were discussed. Key procurement actions included the approval to purchase a 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD for Precinct One, financed through Investar, and the acceptance of bids for surplus county equipment including a 2014 Cat 416B backhoe and a 30-foot flatbed trailer. The court also discussed the replacement and modification of bulletproof glass for the county dozer, ultimately deciding to order replacement glass and explore cage modifications to improve safety and visibility. Financial updates included the treasurer's report on investment moves into Texas-class pools and budget amendments totaling approximately $175,751, with significant payments such as $73,711 to the Young Central Appraisal District. Additionally, the court received a detailed presentation on a proposed Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone (TIRZ) in the city of Almy, aimed at economic development through infrastructure improvements and housing affordability programs, with the county considering participation in the project. Other agenda items included ratifying a homeland security grant for polling location improvements and approving a proclamation for the 250th anniversary of America's Declaration of Independence. No votes were taken on the TIRZ participation during this meeting, but it was scheduled for future consideration.
