Liberty County’s commissioner’s court on Tuesday approved an amended resolution and a road‑use settlement and release agreement with Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America LLC to reimburse the county $400,074.32 for repairs to County Road 109.
The agreement, presented by county attorney staff, includes settlement language the pipeline company insisted on and attaches previously approved donation resolutions as exhibits, a county participant said, describing the payment as part of a donation accompanied by a release. “This is in fact a donation,” an attendee stated while explaining why those prior resolutions would be attached.
County officials said the payment covers prior repairs made to the roadway. The court moved and seconded the resolution during the special meeting and approved it by voice vote; the presiding officer called for an aye vote and the motion carried.
The court did not read a roll‑call tally during the meeting; the approval was recorded as carried by voice vote. Documents referenced in discussion include the amended resolution, the settlement and release agreement, and prior donation resolutions, which the county attorney’s office will file as exhibits.
The court proceeded to its next agenda items after the vote.
