The Liberty County Commissioners Court held a regular meeting on September 22, 2026, where multiple procurement and budget-related matters were addressed. Key procurement actions included approval of a lease purchase agreement for two 2026 MAC P164 dump trucks totaling $378,000, and a corresponding lease agreement with Bank OZK for the same vehicles. The court also approved the annual renewal of a public service contract with Tri-County Behavioral Healthcare for mental health services, and a one-year renewal for permitting software at $48,374.84. Additionally, the court approved payments related to ARPA-funded water well projects and authorized the purchase of Blue Voice software for $7,500 from the Sheriff's Office NCIC escrow account. The court considered but initially failed to approve a road use and repair agreement with Grand Prix Pipeline LLC involving a $1.5 million performance bond; however, after further discussion, the agreement was approved to secure road repairs during pipeline construction. Other budgetary approvals included adopting the 2026 tax rate with a 12.5% increase, the fiscal year 2027 county budget, and employee salary positions with no raises granted. The court also approved interlocal agreements for tobacco compliance enforcement and school resource officers, and authorized the transition of Justice of the Peace offices to a new payment processing system at no cost to the county. Several appointments and personnel matters were also approved, including the appointment of an interim emergency management coordinator with a temporary salary increase. Overall, the meeting focused heavily on contract renewals, capital equipment leasing, software procurement, budget adoption, and infrastructure-related agreements.
