At its Jan. 12 meeting the Young County Commissioners Court recorded a series of approvals and administrative votes alongside the public hearing on the proposed solar reinvestment zone.

Key recorded votes

- Resolution No. 1 32 (designation of the Young County Tabadero Solar Reinvestment Zone): Passed 3-0-2. The designation defines the geographic boundary for a Chapter 312 tax-abatement negotiation. (Motion and vote recorded at the close of the public hearing.)

- Acceptance of Plug Power termination letter: Passed 5-0. County staff reported Plug Power will provide a final pilot payment to the county by Jan. 31.

- County clerk minutes (12/22/2025): Approved 5-0.

- Vouchers/payables (total $192,730.38): Approved with recorded tally 4-0-1 (one abstention).

- A set of operational and procurement items (including treasurer lock system payment, jail uniform orders and employee bonds) were moved and approved with recorded majorities during the meeting; individual motions and seconding commissioners were recorded in the minutes.

The court also debated and moved to adopt a burn ban for unincorporated Young County; commissioners discussed the draft order and voted on a motion to approve the ban during the session. The minutes record the motion being made on the record; the court discussion included questions about exceptions for enclosed grills and how to notify residents.

Where to find supporting documents: Commissioners asked staff to post amended abatement pages and all attachments to the Young County website and directed follow-up items (notably specific road agreements) back to a future court meeting.
