Judge Ray recused himself from item 3.8 concerning a potential purchase of the property at 1305 West Jefferson Street in Waxahachie and left the room. Commissioner Stinson presided over an executive session under Texas Government Code §551.072 for real estate negotiations.
After private deliberations, commissioners reported they had reached terms acceptable to both the bank and the county. "We've accepted their offer and they've accepted our offer as to how the transaction will take place," Commissioner Stinson said when the court returned to open session. The judge requested that the court adjourn without recalling him; the court adjourned after confirming the transaction would proceed as negotiated.
