The Ellis County Commissioners Court convened on April 1, 2025, to address several key agenda items, including the appointment of a new county engineer. The meeting began with a motion to approve the process for receiving applications and recommendations for the appointment of the county judge, which was unanimously approved.

Following this, the court entered an executive session to discuss various legal matters and personnel issues, including the selection of the county engineer. Upon reconvening, the commissioners announced the decision to appoint Zachary Garich as the new Ellis County Engineer, with a starting salary of $144,000 per year, effective May 1, 2025.
