Regular Session of Commissioners Court - June 23, 2026, at 10:00 AM

The Polk County Commissioners Court held a regular session on June 23, 2026, addressing several procurement and budget-related matters. Key procurement discussions included approval of multiple budget addendums totaling several hundred thousand dollars, acceptance of offers to purchase tax-foreclosed properties, and consideration of maintenance capital outlay expenditures such as air conditioning replacement. The court also reviewed and tabled a rebid for cracked fuel products due to bid clarification needs. Additionally, the court approved a 5-year contract with NeoGov for applicant tracking and onboarding software totaling $112,386.45, procured through the Sourcewell cooperative purchasing contract. Budget discussions focused on employee health coverage, with a decision to renew the current plan with TAC and plans to issue an RFP for health insurance brokers in November to allow adequate time for quotes. The court also reviewed potential modifications to the Texas County and District Retirement System plan, including a possible reduction in the county match rate from 250% to 200%, which would lower the required contribution rate and impact future employee benefits. Salary adjustments for elected officials were discussed and approved with no changes, based on a comparative salary survey. Finally, the court approved a memorandum of understanding to host a Texas Law Help Kiosk at the county judicial center, with no cost to the county for equipment or support.
