Summary

During its Dec. 23 meeting, the Lavaca County Commissioners approved a package of routine and substantive items including donations for ambulances ($150,000 and $100,000), a contract for juvenile residential services, a vegetation-management contract, asset transfers and adoption of a FEMA-related hazard mitigation resolution.

The Lavaca County Commissioners on Dec. 23 approved a set of consent and agenda items that together affect county operations, emergency services and land use.

What the court approved: motions carried unanimously on several items including:

- An addendum to a contract with Local Government Solutions LP adding a full-license user for the county attorney's office. - Acceptance of a $1,000 donation from Lake Robertson III to the sheriff's office. - Acceptance of a $150,000 donation from the Dixon Allen Foundation to Lavaca County EMS for purchase and remount of an ambulance. - Acceptance of a $100,000 donation from the Johnson Foundation toward an ambulance purchase and remount. - Transfer of two heavy-duty, high-back dispatch chairs from EMS to the sheriff's office, effective Jan. 1, 2025. - A contract between the juvenile probation department and Youth Opportunity Investments LLC (doing business as Rockdale Youth Academy) for short- and long-term secure residential services for juveniles. - Award of the county vegetation-management bid to Vegetation Management Services, covering chemical mowing, brush spraying and other treatments. - Certificate of exemption from subdivision requirements for Andrew Fincher (approx. 10.88 acres on County Road 14). - A video magistrate services agreement with Net ProTech LLC, funded in part by a grant for equipment used for remote magistrations. - Adoption of a resolution for the Texas multi-jurisdictional hazard-mitigation plan to satisfy FEMA/TDEM submission requirements.

Commissioners thanked donors and staff during the approvals and moved the remaining routine business into consent before adjourning. Many votes were quick and unanimous; where substantive discussion occurred, staff provided clarifications before the motions were called.
