The Midland County Commissioners Court on Oct. 21 authorized the county judge to sign a FY2026 Sevens grant contract to support the statewide automated victim notification service and approved a $12,268 amendment to the FY2026 budget to enable disbursement of the grant funds.
A committee member (Speaker 4) moved to authorize the county judge to sign the Sevens grant contract; Speaker 9 seconded and the motion passed with the court voting "aye." During the presentation, the sheriff (Speaker 6) said the county attorney had reviewed the contract template.
The court separately approved a budget amendment of $12,268 for the Sevens grant after Speaker 9 moved and Speaker 10 seconded. County staff said the amendment allows the county to disperse funds when needed and that the amount is tied to the grant's award terms.
The actions were procedural approvals to accept the grant award and align the budget; no dissenting votes or conditions were recorded. Staff indicated the contract and amendment are routine fiscal actions required to receive and manage the funding.
The judge and staff did not set further public hearings on this item; implementation will proceed through the county finance office and the county judge's signature on the grant contract.
