Summary
Henderson County Commissioners Court unanimously approved minutes, tax refunds, an emergency service district audit filing, payroll distributions, right‑of‑way permits and bid specifications; multiple routine items passed by unanimous vote.
HENDERSON COUNTY — At a regularly scheduled session, the Henderson County Commissioners Court approved several routine items unanimously and heard an appointment announcement for the county’s representative to the appraisal district board.
The court accepted minutes from its Feb. 25, 2025 regular meeting and approved five tax refund checks totaling $38,952.89. The court also accepted the Henderson County Emergency Service District No. 6 annual financial audit for filing under state statute (referred to in the transcript as House Bill 3764) and approved two proposed right‑of‑way permits for Leadville Water Supply Company to perform road bores on Horton Lane (County Road 3617) and County Road 3520.
Payroll distributions and biweekly accounts were approved, and the court authorized payment of fiscal year 2024 bills totaling $353,526.19 and fiscal year 2025 bills totaling $358,524.35 as presented. Court staff said negotiations had occurred with a software vendor (Tyler Technologies) and that an outstanding hosting bill in the FY2024 package reflected negotiated contract obligations.
The court also approved invitation‑for‑bid specifications for the fiscal year 2025 tire bid; staff said advertisement would begin March 8 and bids would open April 1 with award planned for April 8. There were no contracts or submitted plats on the agenda.
During “court announcements,” the judge relayed that Maurice Cox, the county’s representative on the appraisal district board, requested to step down; the judge invited interested residents to contact the judge’s or commissioners’ offices if they wish to be considered for appointment.
