Young County commissioners handled a series of routine administrative items during their Dec. 20 meeting, approving multiple procurement bids, minutes, vouchers and a memorandum of understanding for substance‑use referral services.

On procurement, the court accepted bids for road rock and related materials (motion by Stacy Crestwell, seconded by Commissioner Craig; vote recorded 5–0). The court accepted a culvert bid and later approved Southern Tire Mart’s tire bid; recorded votes on those motions were unanimous or passed with the recorded majority as noted on the meeting record. The court also accepted a non‑butane fuel bid after discussion.

The clerk’s minutes from Dec. 8, 2025 were approved after staff corrected dates and a commissioner raised minor changes; Commissioner Wallace made the motion to approve the minutes and the court voted 5–0. Vouchers payable were reported at a total of $130,084.21, with $116,152.35 charged to the general fund; the court moved to accept the vouchers as presented.

The court approved employee bonds for several county employees (Holly Hurd, deputy tax collector; Timmy Lynn Hall, court administrator; James N. Hammond, Fort Belknap caretaker; and Marcia Sumter, assistant county auditor) at $5,000 each; the motion passed 5–0.

The court also approved a routine memorandum of understanding between Young County and the Helen Kirby Center for coordinated substance‑use referrals and confidentiality protocols; commissioners instructed staff to execute the document and have copies distributed.

Finally, the court received a small set of hotel occupancy tax receipts ($55.75 and $51.40 reported for specific properties) and handled an association ballot for the Texas Association of County Health and Employee Benefits (five nominees, each unopposed). No controversial or divisive votes were recorded in this routine consent/administrative block of business.

The meeting later continued with public comment and substantive discussion on large‑scale development and a separate resolution related to automated license‑plate‑reading cameras.
