Young County commissioners on Dec. 20 approved Resolution No. 133 authorizing the county sheriff to enter a multi‑use agreement with the Texas Department of Transportation to allow installation and operation of automated license‑plate‑recognition (ALPR) cameras on TxDOT right of way.

Commissioner Wiley moved to adopt Resolution No. 133, Commissioner Craig seconded, and the motion passed 4–1. Commissioner Stacy Crestwell (Cresswell) recorded the lone dissent (meeting record). The resolution as read by court staff states the cameras are intended to increase public safety and aid the sheriff’s office in crime‑prevention efforts.

The resolution was presented as a multi‑use agreement with TxDOT and specifies that the sheriff is authorized to sign the agreement on behalf of Young County. After discussion, the court voted to adopt the resolution and, by its terms read at the meeting, the resolution takes effect immediately upon adoption.

The transcript does not record a detailed debate about privacy protections or operational details of the ALPR cameras at length; the recorded discussion focused on the text of Resolution No. 133 and the motion to authorize the sheriff to enter the agreement. The court approved the resolution during the consent/discussion portion of the Dec. 20 meeting and noted Commissioner Crestwell’s opposition in the roll call.

Next steps: the sheriff’s office was authorized to execute the multi‑use agreement with TxDOT; the resolution takes immediate effect per its language.
