Freestone County approves 2026 property coverage renewal from TAC, contingent on equipment deletions

Freestone County officials voted to approve the county’s property contribution and the 2026 coverage renewal offered through TAC, contingent on removing three pieces of equipment from the insurance quote and receiving a revised invoice before finalization.

County officials said the invoice presented at the meeting did not reflect changes discussed previously and that staff member Jennifer was working to remove three pieces of equipment from the quote. Speaker 1 (role/title: Not specified) said the current invoice “does not reflect the changes,” and the group discussed delaying action until an updated invoice could be produced or recessing to a later time.

After discussion about the July 1 deadline for submission and options for a special meeting or recess, Speaker 1 proposed approving the property portion of the coverage contingent on the deletion of the specified equipment and the delivery of a final invoice. The motion was seconded; officials called the vote and the motion carried.

The board directed staff to deliver the revised invoice reflecting the agreed deletions; officials noted the county must submit final paperwork by the July 1 deadline. If the invoice is not received in time, officials discussed the possibility of a special meeting or recess to finalize the approval.
