Summary
During a largely procedural March 26 meeting, Bee County Commissioners approved a Boys & Girls Club auditorium-fee waiver, authorized submission of no-engine-brake sign locations to TxDOT, approved surplus auctions, a contractor agreement and an MOU with the City of Beeville for animal control services.
Bee County Commissioners Court on March 26 approved a batch of administrative items and separate motions including a fee waiver for the Boys & Girls Club of Beeville’s annual fundraiser, the county’s submission to TxDOT for no-engine-brake sign installation and several routine personnel and surplus-item actions.
John Corkhill of the Boys & Girls Club thanked the court for the opportunity to use the county auditorium for the club’s primary fundraiser — the spring “casino night” — and said the event raised over $30,000 net for club programming last year. The court moved, seconded and approved the fee waiver for the May 16 event.
On traffic control, the court opened a public hearing under Texas Transportation Code chapter 253 to consider placing “no engine brake” signs at two intersections. No members of the public spoke; the court closed the hearing and approved submission of the sign locations to the Texas Department of Transportation for review and GPS-based post location approval.
Other approvals during the session included:
- Authorization for the Bee County Tax Assessor-Collector to use the county credit card for hotel and registration fees for the Tax Assessor-Collectors Association conference (June 6–10, 2026). - Approval of an independent contractor agreement for additional assistance in the Tax Assessor-Collector’s office. - Declaration of surplus items (a 2009 Ford van, two walk-through metal detectors and 21 black laptop cases) for auction with Centimeters Auction. - Approval of a Pawnee Independent School District resolution requesting $2,401.18 from the permanent school fund. - Approval of an updated memorandum of understanding between Bee County and the City of Beeville for animal control services; county staff said the MOU was revised to reflect cost-sharing and staffing changes after the city experienced a staffing shortage. - Approval of pre-submission vendor paperwork to the Texas Health and Human Services Commission so the county can continue to perform and bill for inspections of mobile food vendors under new state permitting rules (House Bill 2844).
All motions on these items passed by voice vote with no roll-call tallies recorded in the transcript. The court adjourned at the conclusion of the agenda.
