Summary
Aransas County approved authorizing the county judge to sign lease agreements renewing space at Live Oak Plaza for several county departments, with a one‑year term and a $690 monthly increase across all offices and a termination‑for‑convenience clause.
Aransas County commissioners approved a one‑year lease renewal for county offices that occupy space at Live Oak Plaza, authorizing the county judge to execute documents for the relocation continuation of several elected and appointed county offices.
Staff said the landlord agreed to renew the lease for one year with a total increase of $690 per month for all the county offices involved; the lease includes a termination‑for‑convenience clause that would allow the county to end the lease with notice if the courthouse becomes available sooner than anticipated. Offices covered include the county IT, county attorney, auditor, treasurer’s suite and the veterans office, among others.
Why it matters: The lease maintains continuity of services while courthouse space remains unavailable and gives the county flexibility to return to courthouse space when ready. The court approved the authorization unanimously.
Action: Motion to authorize the county judge to sign various lease agreements carried by unanimous vote.
