The court recessed into executive session under Chapter 551.072 to discuss right‑of‑way acquisition and returned to open session without taking action in closed session. In open session a commissioner moved that staff be authorized to proceed “in an amount as recommended by staff subject to the landowner's delivery of title to the subject property free and clear of any and all liens or other encumbrances within 30 days.” The motion was seconded and then discussed.

One commissioner raised concerns about the county's cost estimate for moving a cast‑iron fence, saying the parcel included roughly $10,000 in additional property cost and that the quoted $20 per linear foot amounted to the cost of buying a new fence rather than moving an existing fence. Because not all members of the court were present, the original mover briefly withdrew the motion to allow for a full court discussion at a later hearing; the mover then allowed the motion to remain and the court proceeded to a vote.

The motion carried by a 2‑1 vote. The transcript records the outcome as “Motion carries 2 to 1.” The motion authorized staff to document the acquisition per staff recommendation, with the explicit condition that the landowner deliver title free of liens or encumbrances within 30 days. The transcript did not specify the dollar amount recommended by staff.

The court also processed several routine consent items earlier in the meeting: it approved the consent agenda remainder after an item was pulled for comment; approved the promotions of Daisy Fuentes, Rachel Ferraro and Sarah Rochendall; adjourned and approved consent agendas for the Collin County Health Care Foundation and the Toll Road Authority. Those routine approvals were adopted by voice vote; no roll‑call tallies were recorded in the transcript.

Next steps noted in the discussion included scheduling considerations: staff referenced a special commissioners hearing on the fourth to further consider the matter if needed. Implementation of the acquisition thus depends on final documentation and the landowner clearing title within the 30‑day period stated by the court.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Collin - Collin County Toll Road Authority May 19, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","After a closed‑session real‑estate discussion, the court authorized staff to document an agreement to acquire property rights for Parcel 310 on FM 546 Myrick Lane Phase 1, subject to the landowner delivering title within 30 days; the motion passed 2‑1 after debate over proposed fence‑moving costs.","taxTitle","Collin County, Texas","taxId",2696,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6525533,"Collin County staff warns commissioners of late-session changes to HB 23, SB 1450 and other bills",288,132000,420000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3388095-e748f68f0dccce8e0eab05f0cf03354c&start=132&end=420","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3388095-e748f68f0dccce8e0eab05f0cf03354c/thumbnail_132000.jpg","/articles/6525533/Collin-County/Texas/Collin-County-staff-warns-commissioners-of-late-session-changes-to-HB-23-SB-1450-and-other-bills","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6525533-31618118e422cbeff7d1c914cd71c7e1/orig.mp4?Expires=1771147090&Signature=juRDHa1FKfFgHMiPzKZN0rDldMTTsTdzQUo7ka-ydGk5rEYzVYXR6pHz8e1lt3rROITF2SikAKSnQrWsam4esH-reTaIyQV1WlQhBGCK7dVPUf7CfufG-LfbPVTmtb4z3iGHKGEuKGcAeYZdWgm0S3h~R0WmotWlrbqwEp5pke55WgyR0y1ylC1cV719-2SPHQcF-pALIbv-5FBy-WzEB32fUZhPSy9oQqPccdYoUy-YcD209SPAue5Bpoo7hRGsNTcERdF-rLSalcPJ4tY9N6WxiBuBZtqk0QPrFVLDHmD7coNuqWtP4KEea4ECCeMJV1PSOyjvdGShAfArv3vO3g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Collin County staff briefed the commissioners court on developments in the 80th Texas legislative session and highlighted potential local impacts from several bills still moving through the Legislature.

Mr. Shoffner, a county staff member who delivered the update during the May meeting, said the final days of the session have led to fast-moving changes when lawmakers attach amendments to other bills. “This is known as zombie week,” he said, describing the period when “amendments become bills become amendments and all sorts of wonderful things start to happen.”

The update flagged two measures county staff are watching closely: HB 23 and SB 1450. Shoffner said HB 23 has been substantially rewritten and that elements of it are now in the Senate. He said SB 1450 is being used in part to try to restore components of the original HB 23 and that the bill “had a hearing today.” He told the court the county’s work has moved HB 23 to a place that could give the commissioner’s court “greater authority” if the bill becomes law.

Shoffner also raised concerns about a provision in SB 1450 that would require or expand use of third‑party engineering reviews and that would reference the International Residential Code in addition to the International Building Code. He told the court the residential code “has a lot more things in that code that are the, junk science,” and said some provisions would regulate appliances such as natural‑gas devices.

Shoffner urged caution about how third‑party review would be implemented, saying there is a risk of creating engineering firms that simply rubber‑stamp projects rather than providing meaningful oversight. He suggested alternative legislative approaches to hold counties and cities accountable for permitting delays rather than broadly forcing third‑party reviews.

A commissioner asked about HB 19; Shoffner said HB 19 remained in committee and “never got the votes to get out of House Ways and Means.” He said portions of HB 19 that had raised county concerns had not, as of the update, been attached successfully to other bills.

The court did not take action on any bills during the meeting; the presentation was an informational update. Shoffner offered to circulate the legislative tracking chart to commissioners for further review.

The update ran during the general discussion portion of the May meeting and was one of several informational items the court considered that day.","County staff gave an update on the 80th Texas legislative session, describing late-session \"zombie week\" activity and raising concerns about provisions in HB 23 and SB 1450 that could change review processes and building-code requirements.","actionData","errors"]
