Court authorizes payment for abatement damages, subject to signed release

Maverick County Commissioners Court voted unanimously Feb. 10 to issue payment related to abatement order No. 0130, authorizing funds to a claimant identified as Mr. Rodriguez and to Eagle Pass Water Works, subject to a signed release.

The presiding officer said the payment followed prior directives and that receipts had been submitted for additional labor and utility costs. A county staff member stated an additional $600 for labor would be added to the original invoice. The court approved issuing payment conditioned on a signed release.

The public record shows distribution of funds will include a portion to Eagle Pass Water Works and a portion to Mr. Rodriguez; the transcript does not provide unambiguous, final dollar amounts in the public portion of the meeting. The auditor asked for clarification of amounts; the presiding officer read figures that were not clearly audible in the transcript. The court recorded the vote as unanimous and directed payment issuance once the signed release is received.
