Court approves interlocal agreements to seal coat city roads; resident raises questions about costs and policy
Summary
Commissioners approved multiple interlocal agreements to provide seal-coating services to cities at a base price of $0.30 per square foot and separately approved state-required resolutions that support interlocal contracts.
Grayson County Commissioners Court approved a package of interlocal agreements under which the county will provide seal-coat resurfacing work for several municipalities and also approved a series of resolutions required under Texas law for such interlocal agreements.
A resident, identified in the record as Bridal Wilson, asked for clarification about the 30-cent-per-square-foot price listed in the interlocal agreement and whether labor and material breakdowns or continuity with county roads had changed. County staff and a precinct official explained that the work is a simple seal coat (oil and 3/8" chip rock), not full reconstruction, and that 30¢ per square foot is the county’s base price for that style of work. They said full road reconstruction typically costs about $2–$3 per square foot. The staff member also noted that counties may enter interlocal agreements under state law and that each commissioner has discretion within their precinct budget to accept ILAs.
Commissioners moved and approved the interlocal agreements and the state-required resolutions by voice vote. The court did not provide a roll-call tally; motions were made and carried on the record.
