Grimes County approves interlocal agreement with Department of Public Safety for license renewals
Summary
The Grimes County Commissioners approved an interlocal cooperation contract with the Texas Department of Public Safety to place a county employee in DPS offices to process driver's license renewals; county judge authorized to sign.
Grimes County Commissioners' Court approved an interlocal cooperation contract with the Texas Department of Public Safety to station a county employee in DPS offices to handle driver's license renewals.
The contract, described at the special meeting Wednesday, July 30, directs that the county employee will perform license renewals — not license testing — and authorizes the county judge to sign the agreement. County Attorney Megan Barczyk reviewed the interlocal agreement and advised that it met legal requirements, the court said.
The court held the special meeting because the matter was on a timeline the county needed to resolve. The county judge moved to approve the interlocal cooperation contract; Commissioner David Tullis seconded the motion. The court moved by voice vote and the motion carried. The court directed staff to have the signed agreement forwarded for implementation.
Also at the short session the court approved a motion to adjourn. The adjournment motion was made by Commissioner David Tullis and seconded by Commissioner Chad Mallett; the motion carried on a voice vote.
No funding details, start date for the employee, or staffing level were specified during the meeting. The court noted the arrangement follows an earlier decision to hire a county employee to work in DPS offices for renewal services.
