After executive session, Matagorda County authorizes mold assessment contract up to $20,000
Summary
Following a Sept. 15 executive session, Matagorda County Commissioners authorized County Judge Bobby Seiferman to sign a contract with Terracon to assess and recommend remediation for mold/mildew conditions, with a contract cap not to exceed $20,000.
Matagorda County Commissioners on Sept. 15 met in executive session and later reconvened to authorize a contract with Terracon to assess and recommend remediation steps for mold and mildew conditions in county facilities, approving a contract agreement not to exceed $20,000.
The court voted to convene in executive session at 9:52 a.m. under Texas Government Code Sections 551.0725 (consultation with attorney regarding a contract being negotiated), 551.074(a)(1) and (2) (personnel matters) and 551.076 (security deployment or audit). The court reconvened in open session at 11:52 a.m. and authorized the County Judge to sign the Terracon contract; the authorization was moved by Commissioner Mike Estlinbaum and seconded by Commissioner Edward "Bubba" Cook and passed on a 5–0 vote.
Why it matters: The approved contract funds an environmental/structural assessment intended to identify mold/mildew issues and recommend remediation actions; the court capped the contract at $20,000. The minutes record the authority granted but do not include technical details of the scope beyond the assessment and recommendation.
The motion directs the County Judge to execute the agreement and to proceed with remediation recommendations as appropriate; further procurement or remediation steps were not detailed in the meeting record.
Next steps: Terracon is to perform the assessment and provide recommendations; the county will determine implementation steps subject to future approvals and budget availability.
