LIVE - Caldwell Commissioner's Meeting 9/28/26

The Caldwell County Board of Commissioners held a meeting on September 28, 2026, which included several procurement and budget-related discussions. Key procurement actions included approval of a $320,000 purchase of approximately 68 acres of property at 4054 Lower Cedar Valley Road to support future economic development, funded through the sales tax reinvestment fund. Budget revisions were approved for various projects, including $330,000 for library repairs, $40,000 to support increased volume in the low-cost spay and neuter program, and $210,000 for a Park View Road water line extension. The board also accepted a $1.5 million grant from the Golden Leaf Foundation to assist with the airport sewer project and approved the addition of a public works director position to oversee water, buildings, maintenance, and capital projects. Additionally, a 10% pay incentive was proposed for child protective services staff as part of a restructuring effort to reduce caseloads and improve retention. The board unanimously approved motions related to these procurement and budget items during the consent agenda and public hearings. Other topics included updates on public health, social services, and community programs, but no additional procurement actions were noted.
