County Commissioners Approve Contracts and Salary Changes for Juvenile Detention Staff

In a recent meeting of the San Patricio County Commissioner's Court, several key decisions were made that will impact the community significantly. Among the most notable was the unanimous approval of contracts for juvenile detention services with Bell County, aimed at enhancing the support and resources available for local youth in need of intervention. This decision reflects the county's commitment to addressing juvenile issues effectively and compassionately.

Additionally, the court approved a request from the Department of Agriculture for the issuance of a Request for Proposals (RFP) for construction related to the Saint Paul Water Tower, funded through the Community Development Block Grant Program. This project is expected to improve water infrastructure in the area, ensuring better access to clean water for residents.

The meeting also addressed personnel changes, including a salary adjustment for Rogelio Garcia, who has advanced to a higher position as a heavy equipment operator following the acquisition of his CDL license. This change not only recognizes Garcia's professional development but also aligns with the county's efforts to retain skilled workers. Furthermore, Pamela Serta was hired as a deputy clerk, filling a vital role in the Justice of the Peace office.

Overall, the decisions made during this meeting reflect the Commissioner's Court's ongoing efforts to enhance community services and support local infrastructure, ultimately benefiting the residents of San Patricio County. As these initiatives move forward, they promise to foster a stronger, more resilient community.
