The Lavaca County Commissioners Court held a special called meeting on December 13, 2024, to address two key agenda items. The meeting commenced at 8:30 AM with all five commissioners present.
The primary focus of the meeting was to discuss and approve an order prohibiting certain fireworks in unincorporated areas of Lavaca County. This decision aligns with an existing burn ban and aims to mirror similar regulations established by DeWitt County. After a brief discussion, the motion to approve the order was made by Precinct 4 and seconded by Precinct 3. The motion passed unanimously.
The second agenda item involved the discussion and awarding of a bid for the purchase of a Bomag single drum roller, intended for use in Precinct 2. The court recommended accepting bid number 1764 at a cost of $77,500, contingent on availability. A secondary bid of $79,700 was also noted as a backup option. The motion to award the primary bid was made by Precinct 2 and seconded by Precinct 1, and it also passed without opposition.
The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn, which was approved by all present. The swift proceedings reflect the court's commitment to addressing essential matters efficiently.
