Commissioners approve DSHS tuberculosis grant amendment extending contract through August 2026
Summary
Grayson County Commissioners Court authorized entering into an amendment to the Department of State Health Services Tuberculosis Prevention and Control combined state and federal grant, extending the contract period and backdating the start to Sept. 1, 2024.
Grayson County Commissioners Court voted to accept Department of State Health Services (DSHS) Amendment No. 1 to the county—s combined state and federal Tuberculosis Prevention and Control grant, extending the contract period and setting a new termination date of Aug. 31, 2026.
The amendment, described by county health staff as DSHS—s option to exercise a one-year extension, was read into the record as backdated to Sept. 1, 2024, with a termination date of Aug. 31, 2026. No funding amounts were read into the public transcript during the item.
Why it matters
The amendment preserves the county—s participation in state and federal tuberculosis prevention activities through mid-2026; the county relied on staff recommendation and DSHS documentation presented at the meeting.
What the court did
A health staff member explained the amendment and its effective dates to the court. Commissioner Arthur moved to approve the amendment; Commissioner Hardenberg seconded. The court approved the motion by voice vote. The county judge indicated the signed agreement could be executed following the vote.
Clarifying details
The transcript records the amendment as backdated to 09/01/2024 with a new termination date of 08/31/2026. The public record at the meeting did not list specific funding amounts or detailed program changes; the staff speaker framed the action as an administrative extension option from DSHS.
Follow-up
County health staff and the county judge may circulate the executed amended grant document and any related budget or program materials as required by county procedures. The amendment is now effective for the revised contract dates reflected in the record.
