Trinity County Commissioners Court approved a slate of routine administrative and grant-related items including proclamations, grant applications, an equipment rental, and disaster-related payables.

Several routine motions — approval of minutes, bonds, payroll reports and reports from departments — were approved by voice vote throughout the meeting.
