Anderson County approves six-month lease for 40-foot belly-dump trailer at $700 monthly

Anderson County Commissioners Court approved a six-month commercial lease for a 2026 Brazos 40-foot pit-boss belly-dump trailer for Precinct 3 Road and Bridge at $700 per month during a special meeting April 11, 2025.

A staff member said the county received the lease paperwork by email on April 7 and that the contract was a six-month lease at $700 a month, bringing the total to $4,200 for the initial term, with an option to extend once. The staff member asked that the court authorize the county judge to sign the agreement.

Commissioner Chapin moved to approve the commercial lease agreement between Anderson County and the vendor named in the meeting record. Commissioner Wilbanks seconded the motion. The motion passed with all present voting in favor. The court authorized the county judge to sign the lease.

The transcript contains inconsistent spellings and vendor-name variants in the meeting record; the vendor is identified in the transcript alternately as “Bridal Trailer Manufacturing LLC” and as a variation including the word “Brazos.” The transcript did not provide a contract number or additional vendor details. The lease’s payment terms discussed at the meeting were $700 per month for six months, totaling $4,200 for the initial term, and an option to extend once.
