Wren described the current process: deputies burn body-camera and vehicle-camera video to DVDs, deliver physical media to the DA's office and often encounter damaged discs or incompatible formats that require hours of staff time to resolve. He said Evidence.com would allow the sheriff's office to upload video to a cloud platform and send secure links to the DA and defense counsel or produce copies that are readable, eliminating repeated DVD burning and failure rates.

County financial figures presented at the meeting showed a 2025 cost for the service of $16,618.36 and a projected 2026 figure of about $17,283.09; the company quoted a five-year contract total near $90,000 (figures include annual increases noted in the vendor quote). County staff and the DA said the time savings for investigators and legal assistants could pay for the service in reduced labor and USB/thumb-drive purchases used for repeated copying.

Commissioners expressed reluctance to commit to a five-year perpetual expense without a test of the system. The court asked staff to request a short proof-of-concept or a prorated short-term contract (the DA and sheriff's representatives proposed a four-month trial) and to explore cooperative purchasing (co-op) options and a revised vendor quote. The sheriff and DA agreed to return with a demo or short-term arrangement; the court placed the item on the next agenda for final action and indicated contingency funding from the county's contingency line could be used for a short proof-of-concept if needed.

There was no county vote to approve a multi-year contract during the meeting.","District Attorney's office investigator John Wren and sheriff's office and IT staff asked commissioners to adopt Axon Evidence.com to move body- and cruiser-camera video to a cloud workflow, citing repeated DVD failures and hours of staff time lost to copying and format issues.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6565544,"TxDOT says FM 2/Highway 6 overpass near completion; 105 widening funded but years away",2065,772000,2837000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3217810-a8e6430ae43729b946474e4ba30b228d&start=772&end=2837","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3217810-a8e6430ae43729b946474e4ba30b228d/thumbnail_772000.jpg","/articles/6565544/Grimes-County/Texas/TxDOT-says-FM-2Highway-6-overpass-near-completion-105-widening-funded-but-years-away","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6565544-e9558c88617a52bd72fc78a983b9bc24/orig.mp4?Expires=1771156453&Signature=jeR-AhwOCblAIoTu~9SMeXaAYV59fDnatIQeOAjJXQGJ3OqfF18hSzbDIkrM2OR4AEURAA8D3Kf1Ti7Yz-MkCNHxYaf6ftsDJFeVUn~0In2~5vdb4ioLo1TH6L5Agmf~O-CSxxsYbGcEIcVNXnuBghla0Cl72QhWnBw9yfUGqreeK9unDqwk4JfVYG8GomLYmTBSUIfw-I-G6BJjcSTUh2brQQU2~1Yq0P2M1GmssYiiDGEn0uC5zezfX52n1U9mynKh2OplPwjL10VC8Gugtxt9IUsi5GiS4eSu7bmYfBEyfIeRP21D9OEry2Wamp-8~-6O~o0TIcs5mIz30T65Gg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Chad Boney, district engineer for the Texas Department of Transportation\u0000(TxDOT) Bryan District, told the Grimes County Commissioners Court that the FM 2/Highway 6 overpass is expected to be paved and largely finished this month, with traffic switching and final work to follow.

The update on Wednesday covered active projects and longer-term planning across Grimes County. Boney said paving for the FM 2/Highway 6 overpass is in its final stages and TxDOT hopes to switch traffic mid-month and substantially complete the work by the end of May.

Boney said turn-lane work on State Highway 105 between Navasota and Plantersville (the intersection area at SH 249/409) is under construction in phases; the remaining left-turn bays and related intersection improvements are expected to be completed over roughly a year, weather permitting. A separate resurfacing and driveway-pipe repair project on FM 149 toward Richards has started and likely will be finished by the end of the calendar year.

The replacement of the Gibbons Creek bridge on State Highway 30 is underway in design and right-of-way phases and is expected to be a multi-year effort, Boney said, estimating roughly two years of work once construction begins.

Boney also reiterated that a planned widening and added capacity for sections of FM 105 (from Highway 6 in Navasota toward the 249 terminus) is a funded priority but not imminent: he said TxDOT has advanced the project in its programming but, because of engineering, right-of-way and public engagement steps, a realistic earliest construction start is about five years away. By contrast, additional lanes on FM 249 remain unfunded for the county and are therefore farther off his list of deliverables.

Court members raised safety concerns. Boney noted that, across his 10-county district, traffic fatalities have been rising and that lane departures are the single largest crash factor; he urged drivers to observe reduced speeds in construction zones and said TxDOT evaluates each fatality to identify fixable roadway factors such as sight distance, signage or shoulder conditions.

Commissioners pressed on timing and local impacts: Boney said bridge and resurfacing projects require right-of-way acquisitions and utility relocation, and that public meetings would continue as designs refined alternative layouts near populated roadways. He encouraged local officials to communicate priorities and to participate in the public-engagement steps that precede construction.

The court did not take formal action on TxDOT items during the discussion.","TxDOT Bryan District engineer updated Grimes County commissioners on local projects including an almost-complete FM 2/Highway 6 overpass, turn-lane work and resurfacing, the multi-year Gibbons Creek bridge replacement, and a funded but multi-year plan to widen Highway 105 between Navasota and State Highway 6.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6565525,"Commissioners vote to move from Granicus to CivicPlus for agendas and broadcasts; approval contingent on county attorney review",0,7872000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3217810-a8e6430ae43729b946474e4ba30b228d&start=7872&end=7872","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3217810-a8e6430ae43729b946474e4ba30b228d/thumbnail_7872000.jpg","/articles/6565525/Grimes-County/Texas/Commissioners-vote-to-move-from-Granicus-to-CivicPlus-for-agendas-and-broadcasts-approval-contingent-on-county-attorney-review","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6565525-c033ff09be7f203610aa7c2323eaf021/orig.mp4?Expires=1771156453&Signature=Qgk4MSpJqk0plHY4ormfnGAwe2fHUOQRgGvlzOd0a0VTXU4OPjvGra9k3WGG1isBeZKB0Hd6KuW9GMhE6Pps9~mn~LXSCVNmzB-m-LqJZnnhlSzq65EEpfnWVNcR71sBSqDTQMriL0BczTfMG3fgjQsFYWRCgu6-Ml0wGsoxUZaIeK3xFf-jGjPRE03g9ibQ8WfgrebFkFSjcWFGo0aD7Zh2Gqoo43CFy1NV7LsISvlQHjWWsuU3O~0PRFJvqCUHi4WQDkWQWjb4a3EWyt947y0aocENEeEoOq5oORIWoo70oRP3ERCS2S2mR~iwXw-1LIk2DT45rnkHLMbQeKwSJA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Grimes County's IT and county clerk presented CivicPlus as a replacement for the county's current meeting-management and broadcast software (Granicus). The county clerk and IT staff said CivicPlus offers archive migration, multi-camera support, executive-session pausing and a web interface the county found easier to use.

IT staff said the Granicus hardware that currently resides in the county server room would be removed and that CivicPlus would be cloud-hosted, reducing local hardware responsibilities. The vendor estimated migration, video import and staff training would take about four months; the county clerk reported the CivicPlus team offered a phased payment option (50% now, 50% later) to facilitate the transition.

The initial year cost discussed in the packet was about $24,066; the vendor described year-two annual charges in the low-to-mid $13,000s as ongoing subscription renewal. County staff said funds are available in the current budget line for software and agreed to avoid upfront vendor payment before services commence.

The court moved and seconded a motion to replace Granicus with CivicPlus. Commissioners conditioned final approval on the county attorney\u0000reviewing the CivicPlus agreement and ensuring appropriate non-appropriation and opt-out language in the contract. The motion passed unanimously on voice vote with that contingency.","The court approved replacing Granicus with CivicPlus for meeting agendas, minutes and broadcast services, with an initial payment plan proposed and the purchase contingent on county attorney contract review.

The presenter said the county's four ambulances are running at a loss of roughly $1 million a year in total operating costs, a shortfall largely tied to staffing, operations and maintenance vs. billing revenue. He said typical ambulance operating revenue covers about half of the operational cost and that the county will need a sustainable ownership and replacement model for vehicles and to address staffing and response coverage as the county grows.

As an ownership option, the presenter described how nearby Burleson County Hospital District owns ambulances and contracts management; that arrangement keeps vehicles newer and availability higher. The presenter said Burleson (about 18,000 residents) runs three ambulances and rarely runs out of units because the hospital district subsidizes the service.

Commissioners discussed pacing of vehicle purchases and operational cost planning: one commissioner recommended a phased purchase schedule (for example one or two ambulances per year or a slower multi-year buy) rather than an aggressive two-year buy of multiple new vehicles, to spread capital and operating impacts. Commissioners also emphasized that any county-owned ambulances should be housed in covered facilities and maintained under a regular maintenance program.

County and hospital staff said they will return with detailed, alternative timelines and cost projections to present options for the upcoming budget process. The court did not take immediate financial action at the meeting.","Saint Joseph-affiliated management told commissioners Grimes County EMS is losing about $1 million annually on four ambulances; county and hospital leaders discussed replacing aging ambulances, ownership models and phased purchasing to avoid a sudden large budget hit.",{"_33":123,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":124,"_41":125,"_43":126,"_45":127,"_47":128,"_49":129,"_51":130,"_53":131,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":132,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":133,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6565534,"Local wastewater company and neighbors protest Grimes County heavy-haul permitting on Clark Road",1001,3594000,4595000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3217810-a8e6430ae43729b946474e4ba30b228d&start=3594&end=4595","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3217810-a8e6430ae43729b946474e4ba30b228d/thumbnail_3594000.jpg","/articles/6565534/Grimes-County/Texas/Local-wastewater-company-and-neighbors-protest-Grimes-County-heavy-haul-permitting-on-Clark-Road","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6565534-35cd867a476938bb3d235c3d5a60a45d/orig.mp4?Expires=1771156453&Signature=bRY367ZemO2lnimVjb46cXyl0PKU1BQy3znr36IUJHfVlfS5t7vw-T9vxszW2r7rV8xMXiHUaBUlr0z8ifFDDquMmTc7vxXfo84MK0S1IU4V9SHNXkCqWptFFA-dzZTA-PVdRkAyFG7fMBz7UShY50lATcNuPnvBtY7Ivaob2LuphiIhZL2-IZjGKRQRs6y-VW9vP4JGhN25t7GSuN~~E8lKNsnCMFf9veFBJFaQ8zPBLEVoGGDhVLmzGtejC6jeiIkIvrAQIMStf3Ld8Wu0hjB1EqaOaGCKTJNGldCXRCKjVJKv13g6skuvb-XvdUn5VFi2wDS8s6O0qxO6htcU-Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Operators of a private wastewater treatment plant on Clark Road told the court that heavy-haul permit signs and a new permit fee regime have sharply reduced business and are concentrated near their facility.

Jimmy Thornton and a partner representing the plant said truck traffic to their business dropped about 30% since permit signs appeared near the plant. They said the county placed signs only at the two approaches adjacent to their site and that the permit fee structure would cost their company about $10,000 a year under the current schedule. Thornton said he had expected permit funds to go toward road repair but learned from county materials that permit fees are intended to cover administration and enforcement costs, not direct road repair.

John Stiber, Grimes County Engineer, responded that permit fees are designed to recover county costs for staff time spent investigating and managing damage reports and permit enforcement; he said $160 a year per permit was estimated at roughly 10% of the county's per-incident administrative cost. Stiber said the county had installed signs at both ends of Clark Road (at Clark & Cedar and at the Waller County line) and that additional signage will be placed on other county roads as needed.

Stiber also said a bond requirement in the permit order mirrors standard public-practice bonds used elsewhere to cover damage from work in rights-of-way and that the county can help companies identify bonding options; he noted the bond language in the 2017 order and that staff could assist applicants in working with bonding companies. Stiber said permit receipts still contribute to the county's overall road-and-bridge budget.

Witnesses and operators raised practical concerns: (1) that insurance or bond claims would be difficult to win because a bonding company would investigate preexisting road conditions where many county roads are already degraded, (2) that the signs felt targeted because other heavy-truck origins in the county did not have immediate signage, and (3) that some haulers have stopped servicing local customers because drivers fear being ticketed or added as additional insured on the county's policy.

Stiber said Clark Road's narrow right-of-way, eroding shoulders and close-passing conflicts are known safety problems; he confirmed planning is underway for improvements and that the county is preparing projects that may address safety and shoulder issues on Clark Road during the year. He encouraged truck operators to work with county staff on bond or insurance questions and noted that violations could be challenged in justice court if operators wished to contest tickets.

Commissioners did not repeal or change the permitting order at the meeting; they asked staff to follow up with applicants about bond requirements, ticketing complaints, signage placement and any possible short-term relief while permit education and outreach continue.","Operators at a local wastewater plant said new heavy-haul permit signs and fees placed near their facility have reduced business and appear targeted; county officials said fees cover permitting administration and will be used in the road and bridge budget, and the engineer offered to help with bond arrangements and future road improvements.","actionData","errors"]
