Grayson County Fiscal Court approves routine motions, agreements and grants; starts parcel transfer process for Head Start
Summary
At its April meeting the Grayson County Fiscal Court approved routine minutes, settlements and transfers, adopted a County Road Aid cooperative agreement, approved a Saint Paul busing grant contract and began the process to transfer a small parcel to a local Head Start program.
The Grayson County Fiscal Court approved a slate of routine administrative items and several agreements during its April meeting, including a cooperative County Road Aid agreement, a busing grant contract for Saint Paul and motions to accept various departmental minutes and budgets.
The court voted to approve minutes from the previous meeting; payment of general bills; treasurer’s budget transfers; the treasurer’s monthly and quarterly settlements; the jailer’s payment of bills; the sheriff’s monthly settlement and the sheriff’s first-quarter budget. The court accepted the Grayson County Board of Health minutes from March 24, 2025, and approved the Grayson County Extension Office budget for 2025–26. Members also approved a surplus-property list from the road department for sale on GovDeals.
The court approved the County Road Aid cooperative agreement and resolution for the stated year on the agenda and voted to approve a busing grant contract and resolution for Saint Paul. Additionally, the court agreed to “get started” on a potential transfer of a small triangular parcel behind the apartments on South Clinton Street to Breckenridge Grayson Head Start (the Head Start program will pay for legal work), and approved a proclamation recognizing National Public Safety Telecommunicator Week (April 13–19, 2025).
Most motions were approved by voice vote with the routine phrase “all in favor? Aye.” Specific movers and seconders recorded in the meeting included: approval of minutes (mover: Veil; seconder: Ben), payment of bills (mover: Darren; seconder: Bridal), treasurer’s budget transfers (mover: Ben; seconder: Brenda), treasurer’s monthly settlement (mover: Darren; seconder: Jason), treasurer’s quarterly settlement (mover: Brenda; seconder: Brian), County Road Aid agreement (mover: Neil; seconder: Brian) and the Saint Paul busing grant (mover: Jason; seconder: Brenda). The motion to begin the parcel transfer process was moved by Darren and seconded (second not specified in the record provided).
The court also approved additional late-arriving bills when presented and recorded acceptance of other routine items distributed in the meeting packet.

The meeting record shows most of these items were handled without extended debate. Several motions listed a mover and a seconder; most passed by unanimous voice vote. The court packet included copies of the items approved, and staff indicated the paperwork or contracts would be processed following the meeting.
Ending: The court moved on to new and old business after the approvals. Several of the approved items — including the County Road Aid agreement, busing contract and surplus-property list — will be processed administratively; the Head Start parcel transfer will proceed with Head Start covering legal costs and with staff checking for an existing easement through the property.
