Court names Jakey Allen to Regional Transportation Council seat for two‑year term
Summary
Kaufman County appointed County Judge Jakey Allen to the Regional Transportation Council board for a two‑year term (July 2026–July 2028), taking the county’s rotating seat at the regional table.
The court approved appointing County Judge Jakey Allen to the Regional Transportation Council board for a two‑year term from July 2026 to July 2028. The presiding official described the appointment as the conclusion of a longstanding effort to rotate a seat back to Kaufman County: "This is something we've been trying to do for a long time... and finally, it's come to fruition," the presiding official said.
Commissioners noted the position rotates among jurisdictions every two years and that the county will now have representation and a vote at the regional transportation table; the motion carried by voice vote.
