Coryell County commissioners approve procurement notices, accept road report and authorize $1.36 million in payments
Summary
At its March 10, 2026 meeting the Coryell County Commissioners' Court approved Notices to Bid for crushed rock and hauling, accepted the Road & Bridge February summary, and authorized payments totaling $1,356,170.20; grant reimbursements remain pending review.
The Coryell County Commissioners' Court on March 10, 2026, approved multiple procurement notices, accepted the Road and Bridge department's February work summary and voted to pay $1,356,170.20 in county bills.
The actions were taken as part of the consent and regular agenda. County Judge Roger Miller presided; Commissioner Ryan Basham moved to approve the consent agenda and Commissioner Keith Taylor seconded. The consent agenda included acceptance of the County Clerk's February 2026 financial summary and approval of the minutes from the Feb. 24, 2026 meeting.
Why it matters: The approvals advance routine maintenance and procurement for county roads and authorize the county's largest single set of payments listed in the minutes. The Court also updated grant project priorities and addressed low-water crossing safety measures on County Road 274.
On procurement and roads, the Court accepted the Road and Bridge February work summary and approved two Notices to Bid: one for crushed rock for the Road and Bridge Department and another for hauling services. Commissioner Ryan Basham moved to accept the Road and Bridge summary; Commissioner Kyle Matthews seconded. Commissioner Kyle Matthews moved the crushed-rock Notice to Bid; Commissioner Keith Taylor seconded. Commissioner Keith Taylor moved the hauling-services Notice to Bid; Commissioner Kyle Matthews seconded.
Grants and reimbursements were discussed but not concluded. Staff reported no new updates on the HMP and RCP grants. For the CDBG-MIT program the Court heard that the Texas General Land Office had provided guidance on reimbursement format, but a recent meeting was canceled because of a partial federal government shutdown; the Court formally dropped the CR 274 project and will redirect those funds to the remaining three mitigation projects. FEMA RPA-DR 4781 reimbursements submitted by the county have not yet been confirmed, and mitigation projects tied to that reimbursement are still pending review. The Local County Flood Protection (LCFP) funds have been partially used to pay for warning signs at low-water crossings on CR 274 and the placement locations have been identified.
The Court also voted to pay $1,356,170.20 in bills after a motion by Commissioner Kyle Matthews and a second by Commissioner Keith Taylor. The minutes record the motion and second but do not provide an individual roll-call tally.
The meeting included routine reports and concluded with adjournment at 9:52 a.m. No further action or follow-up dates were specified in the minutes provided.
