Commission approves mowing contract and funding split between triple‑R and general fund

Lamar County Commission · July 28, 2026

Summary

Commissioners approved awarding mowing of county right‑of‑ways to Jerome Bradford and agreed that up to $80,000 would come from the triple‑R account, with any excess paid from the general fund as an experiment to preserve the engineer's operating budget.

County Engineer presented the results of the right‑of‑way mowing bid process and recommended contracting with Jerome Bradford to perform required mowing services.

Commission discussion focused on funding: one commissioner asked that amounts be taken from the triple‑R account up to $80,000, with any overage to be covered by the general fund so that the engineer's budget would not be unduly burdened. A commissioner moved to approve the contract under those parameters; the motion was seconded and passed unanimously.

The board described the arrangement as an experimental funding approach to help the engineer continue requested road maintenance work; exact contract amounts were not read into the public record during the meeting.
