The Freestone County Commissioners Court meeting on April 1, 2026, covered a range of topics including personnel issues, road maintenance, and insurance procurement. A significant procurement-related discussion involved the decision to continue with the current insurance broker, Anco Brokerage, for health, dental, and vision insurance for full-time employees. The court considered going out for bids to compare broker services but ultimately voted to stay with Anco due to satisfactory service and existing relationships. Additionally, the court opened and approved a single bid from Sanders Creek Construction for bridge work on County Road 533, totaling $256,667.75 for materials and labor. The meeting also addressed potential fee increases for septic permits to offset increased workload and costs, with a motion passed to raise fees by $100. Other agenda items included road abandonment discussions, acceptance of opioid crisis training funds, and updates on county infrastructure and emergency services, but no further procurement actions were taken.
