Court renews communication site agreement with Texas A&M Forest Service for county radio tower
Summary
Commissioners approved renewal of a communication site agreement with the Texas A&M Forest Service to maintain a radio tower site serving northern Newton County.
Newton County Commissioners Court on March 11 approved a communication-site agreement with the Texas A&M Forest Service to continue use and maintenance arrangements for a radio tower site that supports communications in northern Newton County.
Court staff described the site as a forest-service lookout tower and said maintenance and equipment support are coordinated with a private tower owner and tech-support vendor; the agreement ensures continued maintenance and operation of the communications site, which serves the Stratham Valley and surrounding areas.
Commissioners approved the agreement by motion and voice vote.
Why it matters: The site supports public-safety and county communications in the northern parts of the county; renewing the agreement preserves the county’s ability to use the site and ensures vendor and maintenance relationships remain in place.
