Gregg County appoints Greg Williams to ESD 3, approves personnel reclassification and Liberty City water-system MOU
Summary
The Gregg County Commissioners Court on May 26 appointed Greg Williams to serve the remainder of the ESD 3 term, reclassified a county chief-deputy position and approved payout of 14.41 hours of compensatory time, and approved a memorandum of understanding with Liberty City Water Supply Corporation for a Texas CDBG water-system project.
At its May 26 session, the Gregg County Commissioners Court appointed Greg Williams to fill the remainder of a term on Emergency Service District No. 3 and approved several administrative items, including a personnel reclassification and a memorandum of understanding tied to a water-system grant.
Appointment: The court approved a motion to appoint Greg Williams to serve the remainder of the term for Emergency Service District 3, with the term noted in the record as scheduled to end Dec. 31, 2026. The motion was moved by Commissioner Wingo and seconded by Commissioner McKenna.
Personnel reclassification and comp-time payout: County staff requested reclassification of position CC3 from hourly to exempt to align with other chief-deputy positions and asked approval to pay out the remaining 14.41 hours of compensatory time on the next payroll. Staff explained prior payments and a migration to a new payroll system had affected how comp time was recorded and paid. The court approved the reclassification and payout; the motion was moved by Commissioner Kenny and seconded by Commissioner Bostic.
Water-system MOU: The county judge requested approval of a memorandum of understanding between Gregg County and Liberty City Water Supply Corporation associated with the 2026 Texas Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program to support system improvements for residents served by the WSC. Commissioners approved the MOU by voice vote after there were no further questions.
Why it matters: The ESD 3 appointment fills a local emergency-services board seat through the term’s remainder, the personnel action aligns county pay structure for a chief-deputy role and resolves a small compensatory-time payout, and the MOU clears a procedural step needed to pursue CDBG-funded system improvements that affect residents in the utility district.
Next steps: The appointed ESD director will assume duties per the district’s rules. County staff will implement the personnel reclassification in payroll and will proceed with the CDBG paperwork in coordination with the water-supply corporation and other county departments.
