Matagorda County ratifies agreement with Terracon after executive session
Summary
Following an executive session under Texas Government Code §§551.0725, 551.074 and 551.076, the Matagorda County Commissioners' Court reconvened Jan. 12 and authorized County Judge Bobby Seiferman to sign an agreement with Terracon; the motion passed 5-0.
The Matagorda County Commissioners' Court entered executive session at about 9:49 a.m. on Jan. 12 under Texas Government Code §551.0725 (deliberation regarding a contract being negotiated), §551.074(a)(1)–(2) (personnel matters) and §551.076 (security deployment or security audit). The session addressed a contract negotiation and related personnel and security matters, as recorded in the minutes.
After returning to open session, Commissioner Mike Estlinbaum moved and Commissioner Troy Shimek seconded a motion to approve and ratify authorization for County Judge Bobby Seiferman to sign an agreement with Terracon. The motion carried by recorded vote of 5 ayes and 0 nays. The minutes do not provide the contract text or financial terms; the court authorized the County Judge to execute the agreement.
Because the contract details were discussed in executive session, they were not disclosed in the open minutes. The court’s action in open session was limited to approving and ratifying the County Judge’s authority to sign the agreement.
Next steps: The County Judge is authorized to sign the Terracon agreement; the minutes indicate ratification but do not record the contract’s scope, duration or fiscal impact. Those details, if public, will typically be available once the executed contract is filed with the county clerk or presented to the court in open session.
