Commissioners approve election‑services contracts for local ISDs and permit staff to attend legal seminar
Summary
The court approved contracts to provide election services to San Ysidro ISD, certain Hidalgo County precincts, and Roma ISD for the November election and approved temporarily closing the elections office so staff can attend an annual law seminar.
Elections staff presented several intergovernmental contracts for the November election and asked the court to approve them.
An elections official (referred to in the record as Laplina) explained the San Ysidro ISD arrangement: “If they're unopposed, it won't get canceled, and there won't be any fees,” and said the contract only becomes effective if there are opposed candidates. The court approved the San Ysidro ISD contract and similar agreements for Hidalgo County precincts and Roma ISD by voice vote.
Staff also requested permission to close the elections office so the elections staff could attend the annual law seminar prior to the general election; the court approved that request. The transcript records motions to approve and voice votes for all items in this group.
