Haskell County commissioners approve routine resolutions, appointments and bids

At a recorded Haskell County Board of Commissioners meeting, the three commissioners present — Commissioner Clark McClary, Commissioner Larry Watson and Commissioner Sandra Zachary — voted unanimously to approve a set of routine resolutions, appointments, procurement awards and administrative policy updates.

The board approved prior meeting proceedings and a $500 blanket purchase order for NAPA (listed in the record as “Napa EO number 35”) assigned to District 2. Commissioners also approved financing paperwork for the purchase of a used motor for District 2; the transcript records the financing term as 72 months at 5 percent and a payment amount read aloud as "21.98.94" (the payment figure in the record is unclear). The district attorney reviewed the financing paperwork, according to the record.

Several personnel and administrative resolutions were approved by unanimous vote. Resolution 312661 appointed Savannah Amos as the court clerk’s first deputy; Resolution 312662 named requisitioning officers for fiscal years 2026–27 (including Tina Oaks and Savannah Amos); and Resolution 312663 named Kim Satterfield and Robin Ray as receiving officers for FY 2026–27. The board also approved the court clerk’s disaster recovery plan for FY 2026–27 and a countywide sheriff/general disaster recovery plan for FY 2026–27.

The board approved a cleaning-service agreement for District 1 with Carmen Strain and several appointments for the Southside Fire Department: receiving officers Leon Buckner and Patrick Chapel, and requisitioning officers Amanda Lee Buckner and Kendall Wagner.

The board also approved a supplemental operating agreement between the Haskell County Sheriff’s Office and the Town of Porum (transcript recorded the town name as “Porm”; corrected here to the commonly used spelling "Porum"). Commissioners noted the agreement must be signed by the chairman.

Resolution 312653 established District 1 appointees for the 2026–27 school year (Tony Cobble, Floyd Sandlin, Clark McClary and Michael Welch). Resolution 312654 appointed Michael Scott Welch as a first deputy (District 1). Resolution 312652 named District 2 officers (requisitioning officer Larry Watson, first deputy/foreman Tracy Hayes and receiving officer Gage Martin).

On procurement, the board accepted six-month bids for road materials and related services (asphalt/oil stone, gravel and asphalt-laying labor). The transcript records vendor selections by product and district and indicates the board approved the slate of low or regionally preferred bidders.

Financial oversight items included approval of the resale property fund financial statement (the transcript lists total reserves as "371 260 319" — the number in the record is unclear) and approval of appropriations, transfers, checks received and purchase orders to be paid.

The board approved an updated Haskell County travel policy to align meal and per diem reimbursements with the General Services Administration (GSA) per diem regional rates. The commissioners asked that updated copies be distributed and signed to reflect changes to the employee handbook.

After completing the agenda items, the board moved to adjourn; the motion was seconded and approved unanimously. Commissioners noted James Green’s scheduled swearing-in at 12:30 (announced but not administered during this recorded segment).

Actions recorded in the meeting were procedural and administrative in nature and carried by unanimous vote of the commissioners present. The meeting concluded with no contested votes or recorded public-comment disputes.
