Gabriel Arroyo, environmental health manager, told the San Patricio County Commissioners Court that the county’s sixth annual tire and bulk drive is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 25, from 8 a.m. to noon at the county fairgrounds. “This is our sixth annual … Tire And Bulk Drive out at the fairgrounds in conjunction with the Farm Bureau,” Arroyo said.

The court approved acceptance of a $4,000 donation from Farm Bureau to support the cleanup and later approved an agreement and release of liability between San Patricio County and the Farm Bureau for the one-day event. Arroyo said the event will run until noon or until all dumpsters are full.

Arroyo thanked the Farm Bureau for its support. “I’d personally like to thank the Farm Bureau for everything they do,” he said.

Action taken: The court voted to accept the $4,000 donation (motion, second; vote recorded as carried) and approved the agreement and release of liability for the Oct. 25 cleanup (motion, second; vote recorded as carried). The actions were taken under agenda items 2.4(a) and 2.4(b).

Details: The donation supports a countywide tire pickup and bulk-item disposal event at the fairgrounds. The court called for the vote during the meeting and recorded the motions as carried; the meeting transcript records both the donation approval and the liability agreement approval.
