Commissioners approve proclamation, interlocal road agreement, developer contracts and retirement gift
Summary
The court declared Every Kid Healthy Week, approved an interlocal agreement with Sherman for Shepherd Road, adopted a resolution under Texas Gov. Code §791.014, approved a developer contract for Hillstone Estates and a short plat for Tom and Dutt, and declared a service weapon surplus to present to retiring Investigator Adam Bradshaw; minutes and bills were also approved.
The Grayson County Commissioners Court approved a range of routine items during its April 20 meeting, including a community proclamation, roadwork agreements, development contracts and a retirement recognition.
Judge Bruce Dawsey read a proclamation declaring April 20–24, 2026 as Every Kid Healthy Week in Grayson County and encouraged citizens and schools to join local activities. "I have Emily Russell with me from the Cook County, Center for Community Health," the judge said when introducing the guest; Emily Russell, program coordinator with the Cook Children's Center for Community Health, described the week as an "annual celebration of school health and wellness" that highlights nutrition, physical activity and mental health.
On infrastructure, the court approved an interlocal agreement with the City of Sherman for a two‑course chip rock rebuild on Shepherd Road (Precinct 1) after commissioners said residents had complained about the road’s condition. The court also approved a companion resolution under Texas Government Code section 791.014 to permit the interlocal contract work when Sherman is ready to proceed.
The court approved a developer contract for Hillstone Estates in Precinct 3 after an engineering representative said the plans had been reviewed and approved. It also approved a short plat to subdivide a 19.998‑acre parcel on the east side of Possum Trot Hollow Road into one lot (referred to in discussion as the Tom and Dutt addition).
The court approved declaring a Glock 19 Gen 4, serial number BDC N92524, as surplus county property so it may be presented to Investigator Adam Bradshaw upon his retirement from the Grayson County Sheriff's Office. A county representative explained the retirement recognition and asked the court to approve the gift.
Routine governance items were approved as well: the minutes of April 7, 2026 and the bills for April 20, 2026 were adopted by motion and voice vote, and the consent agenda was enacted without separate discussion.
The court adjourned after an executive session under Texas Government Code section 551.071; the court returned at 10:46 a.m. and announced no action would be taken on items discussed in executive session.
