# Uvalde County Commissioners Court Oct. 26, 2026

The Uvalde County Commissioners Court meeting, identified by the title as Oct. 26, 2026 (the metadata lists Oct. 27), included procurement and flood-recovery discussions. The court approved a bid for FEMA-related pre-funding/administrative services, selecting Mr. Esser’s company based on prior experience and FEMA meeting participation. Straightline Engineering of San Antonio and Halo RS LLC of Springfield, Missouri, were also identified as bidders. The compensation was described as a uniform 5% covered by the grant; no total contract amount was stated. Commissioners also discussed concerns about road and bridge contractor CK Newberry’s work, communication, and unfinished items. Officials noted a 10% retainage and said payments are subject to confirmation that required work has been completed; commissioners called for punch-list follow-up before payment for incomplete work.

The court discussed a proposed memorandum of understanding allowing Sabinal ISD to use the county fairgrounds for emergency student reunification, but tabled it pending preparation or revision of an interlocal agreement. The road administrator reported road grading, washout repairs, completed river crossings, ongoing work, and FEMA coordination. The court also approved adding Dec. 31 to the 2027 holiday schedule and approved payment of bills. A resident raised concerns about the Deer Valley bridge and road maintenance; no specific related procurement action was recorded.
