The Bell County Commissioner's Court voted Sept. 3, 2024, to authorize the county judge to accept a Bureau of Justice Assistance grant of $1,600,000 for the Bell County Diversion Center.
The presiding officer introduced Item 4, identifying the grant number (15PBJA34GG00342BRND) and the period of performance from Oct. 1, 2024, through Sept. 30, 2028. Commissioner Schuman moved to approve acceptance of the award; Commissioner Woodson seconded. The court voted verbally in favor and the presiding officer announced the motion carried.

The transcript records no separate conditions or amendments to the award in open session. No roll-call tally by name was recorded in the transcript; the verbal 'aye' votes were used to carry the motion.
