Court approves routine items: library accreditation, road design task order, software and equipment purchases
Summary
The Midland County Commissioners Court approved a set of routine items including authorization for the county judge to sign the library accreditation application, a task order for drainage design (PRK2026-002), MS4 annual report authorization, Cohero software for medical examiners, purchase of mobile radios, electrical work for an IT video wall, job description updates, and surplus- auction acknowledgement.
The court took a number of routine actions and approvals during its March 17 session.
Library leaders requested signature authority to submit the Midland County Public Library's annual accreditation application to the Texas State Library and Archives Commission; the court authorized the county judge to sign the application, noting two requirements (MLS staffing and a long-range strategic plan) can be met by July 31.
Staff presented task order PRK2026-002 for Tres Lycos drainage improvement design—a two-part task order consisting of construction drawings to connect three on-property depressions and a schematic review of downstream improvements contingent on private-property permissions; the court approved the task order.
The court authorized the county judge to sign the MS4 Annual Report for 2025, the first year of a new five-year stormwater permit. The court also approved purchase of Cohero cloud-based case-management software for the medical examiners to replace spreadsheet-based workflows and approved purchase of six mobile radios using state cooperative pricing.
Other approvals included electrical work for the Horseshoe IT video wall (estimate $19,352, funded through a prior line-item transfer), job description revisions for road and bridge inspectors, and acknowledgment of a surplus auction that raised $2,471. Several items on the consent agenda were approved and one item (P) was tabled.
