Commissioners Court May 13th 2026 9am

The San Jacinto County Commissioners Court held a meeting on May 13, 2026, where several procurement and budget-related matters were discussed. Key procurement actions included approval of a variance for land division, acceptance of a donation of limestone for road impact, and approval of contracts for road construction packages awarded to Texas Materials. The court also discussed and voted on adding a 24x14 building for donation processing, purchasing ballistic plates for law enforcement vests, and acquiring licenses for in-car camera systems. Additionally, the court deliberated on amendments to the county purchasing policy, particularly regarding the use and control of credit cards by county officials, ultimately tabling the issue for further consideration. Capital improvement projects were addressed, including plans for a new park section with ADA-compliant playground equipment, with commissioners selecting specific playground items to purchase within the budget. Storage needs for county records and equipment were also discussed, with a motion passed to utilize existing facilities and build a partition wall to secure storage areas. The meeting included discussions on animal control policies and liaison appointments, though no final procurement decisions were made on that topic. The court unanimously approved payment of bills and adjourned the meeting.
