Summary
At its Aug. 26 meeting the Maverick County Commissioner’s Court unanimously accepted proposals for a general contractor RFQ, authorized negotiations with local media for a public information campaign, waived fees at the county nutrition center, approved a waterline-connection measure and adopted FY2024 budget amendments including a $7,000 reallocation.
Maverick County Commissioner’s Court reconvened from executive session on Aug. 26, 2024, and moved through a slate of procedural actions that were approved unanimously.
The court accepted the proposals submitted in response to a request for qualifications for general contractor services. The motion to accept the proposals was made by Commissioner Reese and seconded by Commissioner Veil; the presiding speaker announced the vote as unanimous.
The court authorized staff to negotiate agreements with local media using the county’s marketing and publicity budget line to develop and execute a public-information campaign about county operations. Commissioner Rios moved to authorize negotiations and Commissioner Riggs seconded; the court voted unanimously to allow staff to proceed and to return the selected finalist for approval at a subsequent meeting.
Commissioners also approved a fee waiver for events held at the Maverick County Nutrition Center by the Lakeside View Nutrition Center Committee. Commissioner Ramos moved the waiver based on the submitted contract; Commissioner Reese seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
On an infrastructure item, the court approved an item described in the record as allowing connections and extensions of a waterline to private property at no cost to Maverick County under engineer supervision. Commissioner Ramos moved and Commissioner Rios seconded; the presiding speaker reported unanimous approval. (The transcript contains an unclear phrase in the motion language; the court’s action as read into the record is summarized here.)
The court approved fiscal year 2024 budget amendments. During that item Commissioner Morales moved to add a $7,000 amendment that would credit account 11231201611 and debit account 33945750695 to cover an encumbered project; Commissioner Rios seconded. The presiding speaker confirmed the account numbers on the record and announced the amendments were approved unanimously.
With no further business, Commissioner Rios moved to adjourn, Commissioner Ramos seconded and the court adjourned after a unanimous vote. The media finalist for the informational campaign was directed to be returned for formal approval at a future meeting.
