Summary
The Parker County commissioners voted 4-0 to contract with ESD 1 for county fire marshal services at $30,000 per month, authorizing the judge and county attorney to finalize agreement details and making the contract effective immediately.
Parker County commissioners voted unanimously to approve a contract with ESD 1 for fire marshal services, adopting the agreement at a meeting after returning from executive session. Commissioner Walden moved the contract, saying, "I’m gonna move that we contract with ESD 1 for fire marshal services for Parker County, at a rate of, dollars 30,000 per month," and specifying that funding would come from the contracted services line and the fire marshal’s budget with any additional costs covered by contingency.
The board clerk recorded that Commissioner Walden made the motion and that Commissioner Connolly seconded it; the presiding officer called the vote and announced, "Motion carries four-zero." Commissioners authorized the judge to finalize and make changes to the agreement, and speakers said the county attorney and ESD 1 will work out the contract details as soon as possible. The action was read as effective immediately, and the meeting adjourned at 01:33.
The motion’s funding sources were described on the record as an internal county contracted services line and the fire marshal budget; no outside funding sources or specific contract term length were specified in the discussion. The board did not record a roll-call of individual votes beyond the 4-0 tally in favor.
