Commissioners agree to further review Davis Success Solutions proposal for court leadership training
Summary
Commissioner Carpenter proposed two‑day leadership training with Davis Success Solutions (estimated ~$17,000). Commissioners agreed to a January presentation with the new court member and to review training budgets before deciding.
Commissioner Carpenter introduced a proposal to contract Davis Success Solutions for leadership training for the commissioners court, saying he had previously worked with the firm and believed the training would help court functioning. "I put this on the agenda so that we could discuss what we want to do next steps," Carpenter said, and asked whether the court wanted a Zoom briefing from the firm.
Commissioners discussed cost and timing — one cited an estimate just north of $17,000 — and whether the training should occur before or after a newly elected commissioner takes office. Several members recommended a briefing in January when the new member is seated so the entire court can evaluate the program together; staff and HR would also be included in the discussion. The court directed Commissioner Carpenter to invite the Davis team to appear at a January meeting for a more detailed presentation and to review training budgets ahead of that meeting.
