# Brazos County Commissioners Court - October 20th, 2026

The Brazos County Commissioners Court’s regular meeting, identified in the title as October 20, 2026, approved a construction-manager-at-risk award for the county Emergency Communications District Dispatch Center to SpawGlass (the vendor name is garbled in the transcript). The procurement used a two-phase qualifications and proposal process, with a $10 million construction-cost limit; costs above that limit would return to the Court. The Court also approved Contract 27-057 for Justice Premier Plus with Acton Enterprises, Inc., and Contract 27-058 for voter-registration software with VR Systems, Inc. The software contract passed with one apparent opposing vote. A speaker questioned the need for the software and cited a $300,000 cost, but the contract amount was not stated during the meeting. The Court tabled consent agenda item 11 and approved consent items 1–10 and 12–15.

Other spending actions included approval to expend $1 million budgeted for fiscal year 2026–27 for other post-employment benefits and a $250,000 transfer from the hotel occupancy tax fund to the debt-service fund for a limited refunding of Series 2017 bonds. The Court also approved a property-tax levy, personnel salary adjustments and related pay guidelines. Public comment raised concerns about election administration and fire-safety/code enforcement; no related procurement action was recorded. The Court entered executive session for contract negotiations, economic-development discussions, and legal consultation, then reconvened without taking action.
