Summary
The Commissioners Court post-approved a screw worm disaster declaration originally signed June 15, 2026 and voted to extend the declaration for an additional 30 days at the June 22 meeting.
The Leon County Commissioners Court post-approved a screw worm disaster declaration that had been signed June 15, 2026 and then voted to extend the declaration for an additional 30 days. Commissioner T. J. Foley moved to post-approve the declaration, and later moved the extension; both motions were seconded by Commissioner Kyle Workman and recorded as carried.
County Judge Byron Ryder provided a brief update during the meeting, saying there were still "no answers determined yet" about the situation. The extension authorizes the county's disaster response posture for another 30 days while staff and emergency partners continue response activities.
