At its June 23 meeting, the Hardin County Commissioners Court approved minutes and routine expenditures, accepted Village Mills ISD compiled financials, awarded an overlay bid, accepted a furniture donation, approved several budget transfers including $5,000 for Batson Senior Citizens building repairs, and announced a special meeting for July 7.
The Hardin County Commissioners Court handled a series of routine administrative items on June 23, approving the June 9 meeting minutes, authorizing payment of county bills, accepting Village Mills ISD’s compiled financial statements for 2025 (noting a minor reporting error but correct totals), awarding an overlay bid for Precinct 2 roads to CMM Construction, and accepting donated office shelving from F&T Construction Services for the Primary Building Assistance Center.
The court also approved several small fiscal transfers: $1,200 to create a cable and internet line for Commissioner's Court (on behalf of Justice Melissa Mitten), $1,208 moved from temporary salaries to travel and training for Justice Kathy Brown, and $5,000 from contingency to Batson Senior Citizens building maintenance to cover storm-related repairs. Purchasing agent Misty Sims reported one bid for an overlay project at $4.75 per square yard; the court accepted the bid by voice vote.
Judge announced a special meeting on July 7 at 10:00 a.m. for items requiring earlier action, and the court recessed into an executive session under Texas Government Code Sections 551.071 and 551.074 to consult with the county attorney on litigation and personnel matters.
All routine motions listed above were approved by voice vote during the meeting; commissioners encouraged staff to reconcile ARPA and audited fund-balance figures for larger capital items discussed elsewhere on the agenda.
