Summary
The court approved routine agenda items including vendor and claims lists, a street-name change, fire inspection fees, an investment report, a donation of two tracts from BNB Development, procurement of equipment, multiple budget amendments and a budget correction. After an executive session on salaries, the court approved the order of salaries.
Starr County commissioners on May 26 approved a range of routine administrative items, budget amendments and personnel matters, including the vendor list, claims, a street-name change, a donation of land for public road and utility easements, and approval of the county's order of salaries after an executive session.
Early in the meeting the court approved the vendor list and claims after motions, seconds and a vote; the transcript records at least one opposing vote on those motions but does not provide a full tally. The court also approved a street name change from Chillis Road to Chile Road, adopted new fire inspection fees presented by the fire marshal and planning staff, and accepted the investment report in the absence of the presenter (Mr. Ronalis).
The court accepted a donation of two tracts from BNB Development to establish public road and utility easements to benefit the general public. The court also authorized acquisition of a backhoe/landscape machine through the buy board. Agenda items 17 through 29, grouped as budget amendments, and item 30, a budget correction, were approved. The transcript shows motions carried for these items; the detailed vote counts were not recorded in the portions of the transcript provided.
Pursuant to section 51.074 the court recessed into executive session to discuss the order of salaries. The court returned to open session at 10:55 a.m. and approved the order of salaries as presented.
