Summary

Lavaca County commissioners voted Jan. 12 to accept a $10,000 gift for records retention and a $150,000 donation to the county EMS from the Dixon Allen Foundation; a separate $12,000 donation to the county historical commission was introduced but not completed on the record.

Lavaca County commissioners on Jan. 12 accepted two monetary donations from the Dixon Allen Foundation and introduced a third. The court approved a $10,000 gift for the county records retention archives and a $150,000 donation to the Lavaca County EMS; a $12,000 donation to the Lavaca County Historical Commission was placed on the agenda but no vote was recorded in the available transcript.

The presiding official opened the agenda item by reading the $10,000 donation and called for a motion. “Motion made by precinct 4, seconded by precinct 3 to accept the monetary donation in the amount of $10,000 from the Dixon Allen Foundation to the Lavaca County records retention archives,” the presiding official said. Commissioners then voted in favor; the presiding official noted the motion passed.

The court then considered a $150,000 gift to the county EMS. The presiding official recorded the motion and vote: “Motion made by precinct 3, seconded by precinct 4, to accept the monetary donation in [the] amount of $150,000 from Dixon Allen Foundation to the Lavaca County EMS department,” the presiding official said; the motion passed after an aye vote.

A $12,000 donation to the Lavaca County Historical Commission was announced and a speaker, Doug Kupichek, was introduced, but no motion or vote on that item appears in the transcript excerpt provided.

During the discussion of donations, the presiding official expressed gratitude to the foundation: “Thank you, Dixon Allen,” the presiding official said on the record.

The court did not provide additional conditions or reporting requirements for the gifts in the available transcript. The historical commission item will return to the record if and when a formal motion and vote are recorded.
