Eastland County Commissioners' Meeting 07-07-2026

The Eastland County Commissioners held a meeting on July 7, 2026, where several procurement and contracting matters were discussed. Key actions included declaring a 12G Caterpillar motor grader as surplus and approving its trade-in, with the commissioners agreeing that the offered trade-in value was reasonable given the equipment's condition. They also adopted a resolution to finance the purchase of a 2025 Caterpillar JY 140 motor grader for Precinct 2, authorizing the judge to sign related documents. Additionally, the commissioners ratified a contract with UMA for replacing AT&T copper lines for dispatch services, a time-sensitive project due to AT&T's planned copper line discontinuation. Other topics included reimbursement related to Senate Bill 22 following a fiscal audit and updates on county ADA compliance efforts. Motions related to these procurement items were passed unanimously.
