Parker County court approves Resolution 26-27 to keep county seat on Regional Transportation Council; JD Clark named alternate

The Parker County Commissioners Court voted unanimously June 25 to approve Resolution 26-27 appointing the county’s primary and alternate representatives to the Regional Transportation Council for a two-year term.

The presiding official introduced the resolution, citing the nominee’s attendance record (23 of the last 24 meetings) and the importance of continuity as the county prepares for an upcoming transportation bond. The presiding official also named JD Clark as the alternate representative. The court clerk recorded the motion as "Motion made by commissioner Walden and 2nd is by commissioner Holt," and the court approved the resolution by voice vote, with the presiding official saying, "Thank you, gentlemen, for your confidence and trust." The motion carried 5-0.

The court did not elaborate on the primary representative’s name during the discussion on the record; the resolution text was available to commissioners in advance, and the presiding official described a planned rotation tied to population split in later years. Commissioners framed the appointment as a step to maintain Parker County’s representation as transportation planning and a pending bond proceed, which the presiding official said will be important over the next two years.

The court moved on to the next agenda item after the vote. No public comment was recorded on this item during the special session.
