Starr County Commissioners Court 06/22/2026

The Starr County Commissioners Court held a regular meeting on June 22, 2026, during which several procurement and budget-related actions were taken. The court approved a permit application from S2 Engineering for water line installation and authorized the U.S. Border Patrol to enter county land for border security infrastructure work. They rejected bids for a drainage project in Precinct 2 due to costs exceeding the budget and approved rebidding the project. Additionally, the court approved a memorandum of understanding between the Sheriff's Office and Beyond Borders, accepted excess easements from Ever Enterprises Inc., and authorized a $25,000 interfund loan from the general fund to Texana and Forest Street Service for a FEMA reimbursement-based grant to assist firefighters. Budget corrections and salary orders were also approved, including full payment of increases for vision and hearing benefits. Several motions related to law enforcement hours and employee benefits were passed following executive session discussions.
