Leon County amends 391 application, bars commissioners from serving on 391 Committee
Summary
The Commissioners Court voted 4–1 to prohibit court members from serving on the county's 391 Committee and amended the application to require an affirmation of continuous full‑time residency in Leon County, removing a prior 10‑year residency requirement.
Byron Ryder, Leon County Judge, led the Court March 23 in two changes to the county's 391 application and oversight rules. The Court voted to prohibit any member of the Commissioners Court from serving on the 391 Committee and then amended the residency language in the application.
The first motion — to bar commissioners from serving on the 391 Committee — passed on a 4–1 vote (Yes: Ryder, Sullivan, Bing, Workman; No: Foley). Ryder then moved, and Commissioner Kyle Workman seconded, an amendment to the 391 resolution and application to read: "Applicant affirms continuous full‑time residency in Leon County, Texas," removing the prior 10‑year residency requirement. The amendment passed.
The changes were taken as formal motions on the agenda item labeled 'DISCUSS 391 APPLICATION AND RESOLUTION.' No additional details about implementation or timing were provided during the session. The Court recorded the roll-call breakdown for the first motion; the amendment vote was recorded as 'MOTION CARRIED.'
