Court approves property resale, radios purchase exemption and employee benefits RFP
Summary
The court approved the resale of a struck-off tax parcel for $16,786.15 (yielding about $2,300 to the county), approved a discretionary exemption to buy L3 Harris radios for the sheriff's office using SB 22 funds, and authorized an RFP for employee-benefits brokerage services.
The commissioners approved several procurement and consent items during the April 14 session. Linebarger attorney Wade Gent summarized a resale offer for a struck-off property near Royce City: the private offer totaled $16,786.15, which would provide roughly $2,300 to Rockwall County and satisfy the original judgment; the court authorized sale and signatory authority.
The court also approved a discretionary exemption under Local Government Code 262.024(a)(7) to procure replacement L3 Harris mobile radios for the sheriff's office, citing sole-source necessity for equipment compatible with the county's radio system; commissioners discussed SB 22 funding and long-term budget implications before approving the exemption. Finally, the court approved an RFP to solicit employee-benefits brokerage proposals, with an evaluation committee and a planned award date of June 23.
