Court declares Commissioner Leon Wilson’s nameplate surplus and donates it to his family after required finding
Summary
Liberty County’s commissioner’s court declared Commissioner Leon Wilson’s nameplate surplus and approved donating it to his family after adding an amendment to the motion to state, pursuant to the government code, the item has no resale value and the transfer benefits the state.
The Liberty County commissioner’s court approved declaring Commissioner Leon Wilson’s nameplate surplus and donating it to his family, adding an amendment to include the government‑code findings necessary to authorize the donation.
A court member reminded the body that the government code requires an affirmative finding that the item has no resale value and that the transfer sufficiently benefits the state before a surplus item can be donated. Members agreed that the nameplate has no resale value and is “sentimental value to the family only,” and the court amended the motion to include those findings.
The amendment was seconded, the amended motion was called, and the court approved the donation by voice vote. The presiding officer recorded the action as carried and the item as amended to include the government‑code language.
After the vote, the court moved to adjourn the special meeting.
