The Polk County Commissioners Court held a regular session on May 26, 2026, where several procurement and budget-related matters were discussed. Key procurement actions included approval of a $5,645 purchase for jail HVAC equipment replacement and an $8,280 expenditure for vehicle striping for Sheriff's Office vehicles. The court also addressed a rebid for crack sealant products after receiving only one bid from Cleveland Asphalt. Additionally, the court approved budget revisions and amendments for FY 2026 and discussed capital purchases funded from the general fund balance. A contract cancellation with the Texas Department of Public Safety for a commercial driver's license facility was approved. The court deliberated on terms for a proposed agreement with Goodrich ISD for campus law enforcement services, focusing on whether to designate the officer as a School Resource Officer (SRO) or a peace officer presence, with considerations on cost, personnel authority, and vehicle provisions. The meeting also covered voluntary life insurance carrier changes for county employees and ongoing compensation study efforts, with no immediate wage decisions made. Several items were tabled or deleted pending further review or completion of compensation surveys.
