The Liberty County Commissioners Court convened on November 26, 2024, to address several key agenda items, including funding allocations and disaster management efforts. The meeting began with procedural motions, leading to discussions on various topics.

The court first addressed the invitation to bid for new law enforcement vehicles, funded by the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). A motion was made to table this item for further review, which passed unanimously.

Next, the commissioners considered a memorandum of understanding regarding rehabilitation plans for the cities of Ames and Hardin, also utilizing ARPA funds. Similar to the previous item, this discussion led to a motion to table, which was approved without opposition.

The court then moved on to a contract with DRC Emergency Services LLC for disaster debris removal services. This contract was confirmed as the primary vendor following a selection process. The motion to approve the contract was passed with no further discussion.

Another significant item involved the authorization for the Water Control and Improvement District (WCID) number 1 to request approval from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for debris disposal at specific private properties in Liberty County. This action is part of ongoing efforts to manage debris from recent disasters. The court approved this motion after confirming environmental compliance measures would be in place.

The meeting also included discussions on a negotiated settlement with Kroger related to opioid litigation, which was approved by the court. Additionally, the court considered an order to remove a gate across County Road 614 in Precinct 4. After deliberation, the recommendation was made to take no action on this item, which was subsequently approved.

The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn, wrapping up a session focused on critical funding and disaster management initiatives for Liberty County.
