Paul, the county veteran service officer on the record, explained the proclamation and noted that in 2017 Gov. Greg Abbott signed Senate Bill 805 creating recognition for Women Veterans Day in Texas. \"Back in 2017, the state of Texas, authorized Women's Veterans Day to be recognized,\" Paul said. \"...on June 2017, Greg Abbott, governor of Texas, signed senate bill 805 declaring that June 12 be celebrated as Women Veterans Day.\"

Stella Bartlett, identified on the record as the assistant county veteran service officer, and other veteran service office staff were present. Commissioners thanked the VSO staff and noted that women comprise more than 12% of Texas' veteran population, a percentage that is growing, language the proclamation itself repeats.

The motion to adopt the proclamation was made \"by Commissioner Edmondson, by Commissioner Mitchell\" and the measure carried unanimously. Commissioners praised the local veteran service navigators and urged residents to recognize the contributions of women who served in the U.S. armed forces.

No county budget appropriation was tied to the proclamation during the June 10 meeting; commissioners used the moment to acknowledge county veteran services and the local VSO staff.","The Denton County Commissioners Court on June 10 adopted a proclamation recognizing June 2025 as Women Veterans Day and highlighted the county Veterans Service Office's work assisting women veterans.",{"_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},6547273,"Denton County Commissioners honor Stacy Firth with retirement resolution",167,642000,809000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3796538-fb75777aa4f53e94c4fe61d9c91d25c1&start=642&end=809","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3796538-fb75777aa4f53e94c4fe61d9c91d25c1/thumbnail_642000.jpg","/articles/6547273/Denton-County/Texas/Denton-County-Commissioners-honor-Stacy-Firth-with-retirement-resolution","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6547273-345b3d67e5572dd027857b4bca700870/orig.mp4?Expires=1771199002&Signature=he8-gjFHkXeebizRz2lO1XpKtW2Ae1Vr8m7cFjakZDZwtH8LPTJcyDdAqs44vEqD4Flpu7qCMNkXxE-7hcjzfOD9pUzphTXT-RraOwHwoArPrURxcqOzqtqoNhFvRChJOdodLlcE-sHlzSorvRFXvRMXvjUrCGNK910vNGTljJMt1LSprLzAzhfovGQqEU14IctP3tf-1TQDaL9EqynWNoAEQOF7WQPeuXhZrD1AikkbQh4yjSgRh3Q87c0vQyvkAAoIjllX57op8no9~Ug3VpOCs-Do8jMl1gr2hVVXBfVt9Z6SpidOEUiQvVOFlsResp9MgJaBHLnobCgGmYvMFg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Denton County Commissioners Court approved a resolution on June 10 honoring Stacy Firth for 23 years of service to Denton County and recognizing her retirement effective May 30, 2025.

Judge Breeding read the resolution on the court floor and described Firth's recent health situation and long service. \"So, anyway, Stacy has retired... she's kind of on a journey. She's awaiting a kidney transplant,\" Judge Breeding said during remarks included with the resolution presentation.

The resolution states that Stacy M. Firth served as court administrator for various judicial districts and previously worked in the Denton County Clerk's Office from February 2002 through February 2015, serving as assistant supervisor in the criminal department in March 2015 and moving to court administrator positions in 2016 and later. The resolution thanks Firth for her \"dedicated service\" and extends best wishes for her health and retirement.

A motion to adopt the resolution was made \"by Commissioner Evans, by Commissioner Mitchell\" and carried without opposition. The court's minutes record the action as approved in open session on the June 2025 agenda.

Judge Breeding and other court members offered personal remarks of appreciation on the record and noted Firth was watching the meeting remotely. No additional county action regarding staffing or succession was recorded during the June 10 session; staffing changes were discussed later on the agenda under personnel reports.","The Denton County Commissioners Court approved a resolution on June 10 honoring Stacy Firth for 23 years of county service; the resolution notes Firth retired May 30, 2025 and summarizes her roles in county courts and clerk's office.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6547277,"SPAN Meals on Wheels thanks Denton County, cites federal grant work and transportation expansion plans",217,404000,621000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3796538-fb75777aa4f53e94c4fe61d9c91d25c1&start=404&end=621","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3796538-fb75777aa4f53e94c4fe61d9c91d25c1/thumbnail_404000.jpg","/articles/6547277/Denton-County/Texas/SPAN-Meals-on-Wheels-thanks-Denton-County-cites-federal-grant-work-and-transportation-expansion-plans","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6547277-64f35c35ca7fb3cf66e683a41b365669/orig.mp4?Expires=1771199002&Signature=TL9l~aVYIaUBJJQ3A~M~YnN~IlAo4slN4nFdvR141hZEZKxC7c77wxZ7mMjGpgCY0wHb8sdF08by1F50fqFoi7PssgEBoUbSy9o7t4rgBQwks1DAyH75Ygi0UM76dp2jUyNQjMjZ2PubJ6lWk0cfEssYSR8v6~2VmFQPPlXnZqaJc5BC9ekGqy~XrgGvCzE9H8vv7SXx1EGO3gCI7FPgnoIYG3I9Hon2Sguy8EjMjT~x9z0oiNhpfE4SfPG0Oi6XsIhMnj188TQwH833ag7Wg4Pyc6ABi2GiXwssF1ysS9-TbwYMjjD6QbuSoPIjTq7TeMyK~~xP7qTgrtvZ449PIw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Michelle McMahon, executive director of SPAN Meals on Wheels of Denton County, told the Denton County Commissioners Court on June 10 that the nonprofit will move quickly to use a recently approved county agreement to pursue federal grant funds and expand transportation services.

\"Last week, you all approved an agreement with SPAN to allow us to seek federal grant funds to help us fulfill the needs of an ever growing population in Denton County,\" McMahon said. \"This was a huge step for SPAN ... We are moving as quickly as we can to increase our transportation opportunities and we look forward to spreading the word throughout the community about our growth.\"

McMahon said building a larger driver pool and expanding the vehicle fleet will take time but that staff are actively taking steps forward. She thanked county staff Brooke Hanbrook and Capricia Willis for assistance and said SPAN will report regularly on progress. \"It will take a bit of time to build up our driver pool and our fleet but we are actively taking steps in the right direction and will report back regularly on our progress,\" she said.

Judge Eads and multiple commissioners responded with appreciation for SPAN's work. The county did not take additional action on the presentation during the June 10 meeting; McMahon described a prior agreement that allows SPAN to seek federal grants but no new motion or vote was recorded on the floor during public comment.

The presentation emphasized services targeted to seniors, veterans and people with disabilities and noted SPAN's 51-year history in Denton County. McMahon described the initiative as an \"exciting development in the history of our organization\" and thanked county leaders for their support.

The county's formal budget and procurement approvals that appear elsewhere on the June 10 agenda may affect how nonprofits such as SPAN access county resources; McMahon specifically credited county staff who helped secure the earlier agreement enabling federal grant applications.

Votes at this meeting related to county support for nonprofits were recorded elsewhere on the agenda; McMahon's remarks were a public comment and informational in nature.","SPAN Meals on Wheels executive director Michelle McMahon thanked the Denton County Commissioners Court for recent support and said an agreement approved last week allows the nonprofit to pursue federal grant funding to expand transportation and grow its driver pool and fleet.","actionData","errors"]
