Summary
After reconvening from executive session, Brazos County officials voted to join a national opioid remnant defendant settlement, approved an interlocal email-security agreement with the University of Texas at Austin at no cost to the county, and authorized the county judge to sign an engagement letter with outside counsel for potential litigation.
The Brazos County commissioners reconvened from executive session and recorded actions on three agenda items, the chair said, after the group returned at 02:15.
The body approved participation in the National Opioid remnant defendant settlement after the chair moved to approve the action and a second was recorded. The motion was put to a voice vote; members responded “Aye” and the chair said there was no opposition and that the motion carried.
On item 16, the commissioners approved an interlocal cooperation contract with the University of Texas at Austin Regional Security Operation Center to provide an email security service. "There's no cost to the county for this service," the Chair said during the item. A motion and second were recorded and the chair declared the motion carried after members voted aloud.
Following an executive-session action, a committee member moved to authorize the county judge to sign an engagement letter with outside counsel for potential litigation. The motion was seconded and carried after a voice vote.
The meeting adjourned at 02:17, the chair said.
The transcript does not record roll-call vote tallies or the names of members who seconded the motions; seconds and individual votes were stated on the record only as “Second” and “Aye.”
