Leon County approves resolution allowing Leon I.S.D. to pursue motor-vehicle crime-prevention grant

On May 4, 2026, the Leon County Commissioners Court approved a resolution authorizing Leon Independent School District to pursue a grant for motor-vehicle crime prevention.

County Judge Byron Ryder opened the special-called meeting at 8:30 a.m. with a prayer and led pledges to the American and Texas flags. The court’s roster listed Judge Ryder, Commissioner Paul Bing (Pct. 2) and Commissioner T. J. Foley (Pct. 4) as present; Commissioners Joey Sullivan (Pct. 1) and Kyle Workman (Pct. 3) were listed as absent. County Clerk Amy Kaiser and County Attorney Keith Cook were noted as present in their official roles.

Under agenda Item 3, the court considered a resolution to allow Leon I.S.D. to go out for a grant to support motor-vehicle crime prevention. "Commissioner Foley made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Bing to approve the resolution and to allow Leon I.S.D. to pursue the grant," the minutes state. The record notes only that the "motion carried"; the minutes do not include a roll-call tally or further details about the grant’s scope, amount, or funding source.

There were no public comments submitted during either public-comment period, and no items were submitted for Commissioners Open Forum. Following the approval of the resolution, Commissioner Bing moved to adjourn; Commissioner Foley seconded and the court adjourned.

The minutes include a copy of the approved resolution in the record. The document does not specify the grant program name, the anticipated funding amount, or any conditions attached to the authorization; those details would be provided by Leon I.S.D. or in the referenced resolution copy, according to the minutes.

The record is signed to be approved by County Judge Byron Ryder and the commissioners at a later date, with Amy Kaiser attesting as Leon County Clerk.
