- Donations and permits: Auditor certified $1,400 in donations to the sheriff's department (approved), and the court approved temporary alcohol sales for two vendors at the county fair, subject to TABC requirements.

- Ambulance grant application (HB 3000): Discussion about hiring Border Affairs LLC to prepare a rural ambulance service grant application led to requests for additional details on contractor performance and long‑term operating costs; the court tabled the resolution and asked staff to gather further information.
