Votes at a glance: Starr County commissioners approve vendor and claims lists, subdivision, donations and budget amendments
Summary
The court approved routine vendor and claims lists, renewed a veteran service officer contract, approved Riverwalk Estates Phase 1 final plat, adopted a $600 fiber permit fee and multiple permits, approved donations and budget amendments, and approved salary orders after executive session.
At its meeting the Starr County Commissioners Court recorded votes on a set of routine and agenda items.
Actions approved in open session included renewal of the independent contractor agreement for the veteran service officer; final plat approval for Riverwalk Estates Phase 1 in Precinct 1; adoption of a $600 active-fiber permit fee and approval of related permanent permits (Items 11–17); approval of a donation earmarked for Precinct 2; and approval of budget amendments listed on the agenda (items 19 through 34).
Following an executive session called under statutory authority, the court returned to open session and approved the current order of salaries and a proposed order of salaries for fiscal year 2024–25. A motion to adjourn was subsequently carried.
Motions were made and seconded for each item and were adopted by affirmative vote; the meeting record shows voice votes ('aye') rather than recorded roll-call tallies for each commissioner in the transcript.
