Denison boosts vehicle maintenance with local Frasier service center support

Vehicle maintenance took center stage during the Cooke County Special Commissioners Court budget hearing on July 10, 2025, as officials highlighted a significant increase in maintenance needs. The discussion revealed a strategic shift in how the county manages vehicle upkeep, with a focus on utilizing local vendors to enhance service efficiency.

County representatives noted a boom in vehicle maintenance, indicating that they are now relying on three different service providers, including a key partner, Frasier Service Center in Denison. This center has proven invaluable for its ability to handle specialized Frasier equipment, ensuring that the county's vehicles remain operational and well-maintained.

In addition to vehicle maintenance, the budget proposal included a modest allocation of $1,500 for furniture and fixtures, aimed at replacing essential items. There was also a slight decrease in subscription costs, attributed to some Lucas services no longer qualifying for preventive maintenance. Meanwhile, medical supplies saw a minor increase, reflecting ongoing health-related needs.

The discussions underscored the county's commitment to maintaining its fleet and facilities while managing budgetary constraints effectively. As Cooke County moves forward, these adjustments in vehicle maintenance and resource allocation are expected to enhance operational efficiency and service delivery.
