Commission approves reappointments, procurement and LEC contract; fireworks allowed July 2–4
Summary
The commission reappointed two planning and zoning members, approved PO 8003 for emulsion oil, approved a design‑build contract for the law enforcement center renovation, and authorized fireworks discharge in unincorporated Ellis County July 2–4.
At its June 2 meeting the Ellis County Commission approved multiple formal actions on routine and capital items.
Reappointments: Justin Craig asked the commission to reappoint Jerry Mervis and Paul Dreiling to three‑year terms on the planning and zoning committee effective July 1, 2026; the motion passed.
Procurement: Brandon McHale presented PO 8003 to purchase emulsion oil for warm‑mix asphalt and seal coats, using leftover funds and a federal fund exchange to reduce operating impact. The commission approved PO 8003 to Ergon Asphalt Emulsions Incorporated.
LEC contract: The commission approved the AIA design‑build contract with PWC and Tesserae for renovation of the Law Enforcement Center basement and main floor; staff said plans should be completed by mid–late July and then go to state review.
Fireworks: The commission moved to allow fireworks in unincorporated Ellis County on July 2–4 between 10 a.m. and 11 p.m.; staff noted historically low incident counts and said no additional staffing would be required beyond normal awareness and mutual aid arrangements.
