The Frio County Commissioners Court convened on November 26, 2024, to address several key issues impacting the community, including public safety measures and administrative approvals. The meeting commenced with an invocation and the Pledge of Allegiance, setting a tone of gratitude and community spirit ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday.

One of the primary discussions revolved around the establishment of a maximum speed limit for County Road 4843, also known as Urban Road. Commissioner Danny Cano proposed setting the speed limit at 30 miles per hour between State Highway 85 and County Road 4850, known as Bridal Road. This proposal was prompted by requests from local residents concerned about safety on the road. After a brief public hearing, which saw no citizen input, the commissioners unanimously approved the speed limit, emphasizing the importance of community feedback in such decisions.

In addition to the speed limit discussion, the court also approved the minutes from previous meetings, aiming to streamline administrative processes by closing out all 2024 minutes by year-end. This move is intended to facilitate a smoother transition into the new year, allowing the court to focus on upcoming matters without backlog.

Another significant item on the agenda was the request from the Frio County Constable's office for funding to purchase a video in-car camera system and body-worn cameras. The total cost of $4,534 was approved, reflecting the court's commitment to enhancing law enforcement capabilities and ensuring accountability within the community.

Overall, the meeting highlighted the court's proactive approach to addressing public safety and administrative efficiency. As the year draws to a close, the Frio County Commissioners Court is poised to tackle new challenges and continue serving the needs of its residents.
