County designates judge as primary security contact, approves Terracon assessments for courthouse
Summary
Following executive-session deliberations, the court designated District Judge Denise M. Fortenberry as primary contact for Guardian and SecureTech, authorized related ratification letters, and approved an agreement with Terracon for building envelope and HVAC assessments.
After reconvening from executive session on Sept. 29, Matagorda County Commissioners' Court authorized several actions tied to courthouse security and facility assessments.
The court authorized designating District Judge Denise M. Fortenberry as the primary head/lead contact for Guardian and SecureTech and to remove any and all personnel from the position of courthouse security contact so Judge Fortenberry may establish new primary contact data and passwords with both vendors. The county judge was authorized to sign letters ratifying the change if necessary. The motion approving the designation carried unanimously.
Separately, the court authorized the county judge to sign an agreement for services with Terracon to perform building envelope and mechanical HVAC assessments at county facilities. The minutes record the authorizations and indicate both were actions taken after an executive-session deliberation under Texas Government Code provisions for contract deliberations and security matters.
The minutes do not provide vendor contract details, assessment scope documents or cost figures; county staff will need to return executed agreements and assessment reports to the court for public record and any further action.
