Grimes County OKs interlocal agreement to keep Auto Task Force investigator

Grimes County Commissioner's Court · September 24, 2025

Summary

The court approved an interlocal cooperation agreement with Montgomery County to fund an Auto Task Force investigator; Montgomery's contribution falls to $203,449 while Grimes County's share remains $10,000 and the balance will come from grants and partner contributions.

Grimes County Commissioner's Court voted Sept. 24 to approve an interlocal cooperation agreement with Montgomery County to continue participation in a regional Auto Task Force.

Chief Deputy Martha Smith told the court the agreement is reviewed annually and this year "the Montgomery County contribution changed from 216,263 to $203,449. The Grimes County contribution remained the same at $10,000 and then the remainder of the funds will come from grant funding and matching funds contributed by additional task force members." The court reviewed the contract and authorized the county judge to sign.

County Attorney provided legal review before the vote. The court recorded a motion to approve the agreement (mover and second as announced by the court) and the motion carried by voice vote. Officials said the change reduces Montgomery County's direct contribution while preserving Grimes County's $10,000 commitment and relying on external grants and partner agencies to fill remaining costs.

The court directed staff to provide signed copies to the sheriff's office and to coordinate implementation with partner agencies.
