Commissioners at the Lamar County Commission meeting on Dec. 27 discussed potential camera upgrades at the Judicial Building and heard routine district reports on storm cleanup and staffing shortages. The commission also announced courthouse closures for Dec. 24–25 and Jan. 1 for the holidays.

A commissioner said a new, lower quote for camera upgrades proposed by the sheriff and Terry Faulkner will be presented at the next meeting and emphasized that the plan would use existing equipment. "He's got a list of things and a small quote... It's using existing equipment," the commissioner said, and added the upgraded system "looks like it's working real clear." The transcript records the matter as informational; no procurement action or vote was taken that day.

District reports covered grading, tree removal and tire pickups after recent storms, equipment repairs and short-staffing in grading operations. One commissioner noted sickness among operations staff had limited grading activity and another thanked colleagues for information gathered at a legislative conference while expressing concern about a proposed SSUT policy that could be "very detrimental" to local municipalities.

On operations scheduling, the commission announced that county offices would be closed Dec. 24–25 and planned to reopen Dec. 26 (subject to on-the-day traffic considerations). The commission also confirmed the courthouse would be closed on Jan. 1 for New Year's Day.

The meeting adjourned after a voice vote; the transcript records closing remarks from county chairman and probate judge David Boyette and commissioners Jeff Long, David Gunnels, Mitchell Puckett and Johnny Allen, who extended holiday wishes to attendees.
