Callahan County schedules April 3 meeting, sets bid deadline for sheriff’s 2025 Chevrolet pickup

Presiding officer (Speaker 2) called a called meeting of the Callahan County Commissioners Court to order at 8:30 a.m. on March 17 to set dates for advertising, a bid deadline and the opening of bids for a 2025 Chevrolet pickup for the sheriff’s office.

Unidentified Speaker (Speaker 1) told commissioners that advertising would begin the coming Wednesday and must run for two weeks, which would allow the earliest follow-up called meeting on April 3. Speaker 1 said bids would need to be filed at the judge’s office by 5:00 p.m. the day before that meeting.

“Would you please give us some of the dates that have been suggested?” the presiding officer (Speaker 2) asked before the court discussed availability and scheduling conflicts. Commissioner Wenham moved to set the follow-up called meeting for April 3 at 8:30 a.m.; Commissioner Clark seconded the motion. The presiding officer called a voice vote, saying, “All in favor, say aye,” and recorded that there were no oppositions.

After the motion passed, a participant confirmed the bids’ deadline: bids must be received by 5:00 p.m. on the Wednesday before the April 3 meeting. The court then moved to adjourn; a motion to adjourn (transcript names the mover as Commissioner Winham in that segment and the second as Commissioner McGowan) passed by voice vote and the meeting ended at 8:33 a.m.

The action taken schedules the advertising period, establishes a 5:00 p.m. bid filing deadline the day before the April 3 called meeting, and sets April 3 at 8:30 a.m. as the date for the follow-up called meeting to open bids for the sheriff’s 2025 Chevrolet pickup. The record does not specify the number of commissioners voting yes, only that the motion passed by voice vote with no opposition recorded.
