Lyke said the county’s population growth is placing additional responsibilities on government agencies and said she accompanied court members to a visit at the sheriff’s office after the workshop. She told the court the sheriff “talked about the many letters he had written to the commissioner's court before the budget workshop for assistant needs for the sheriff's department and received only 1 letter back from the commissioner court to the sheriff.”

Lyke described the sheriff’s office as providing “excellent service to the Collin County citizens” and said she hopes communication will improve between the sheriff’s office and commissioners before the next budget workshop.

Her comments were delivered during the public-comment period; the court made no formal response on record beyond acknowledging her remarks.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Collin - Health Care Foundation Sep 15, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Barbara Dawn Lyke told the court she believes the Collin County Sheriff’s Office needs better communication and follow-up from the Commissioners Court after a recent budget workshop; she said the sheriff had written multiple letters and received only one reply.","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},6472529,"Commissioners discuss Central Appraisal District director nominations; allocation step ongoing",68,996000,1064000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5776378-56d765c9cddb9d068e24aac3fc4505eb&start=996&end=1064","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5776378-56d765c9cddb9d068e24aac3fc4505eb/thumbnail_996000.jpg","/articles/6472529/Collin-County/Texas/Commissioners-discuss-Central-Appraisal-District-director-nominations-allocation-step-ongoing","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6472529-6226bfabed8cdfbce35be4f2b261d378/orig.mp4?Expires=1770793832&Signature=F-e8tSzUZ455FaVPx6gqv25ZuRo1Y~0PvqdKTEFVcJM2yHO0rmAZprXIf8V~XW4xNBIt5qUtKQVuJqRJd5tL~rfy8LOzdRKd0tQNP~4~UONJktTJ57w2fPK0mJ8Qib5WtLZEqNna7SxOfdtsnWAWg2ovRzMf7gRATFG0kdZQEAaELcqdfHn9x5sX-nJse4~00BtI4b0fLbtntgBAvYKHdrdQVQhyN59NQTdG2nThrt34LtGJUeU6vaOWW7jtgt4c2HX5ZgH6NWTPZr4YnSh9-goS6WZhFjo~dZR9qNPZB4JiIVPgmbASibn-oJltfhK6lPoKHLKgD9rNA8dcFgCglw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","County staff briefed the Commissioners Court on the Central Appraisal District (CAD) board elections and the timeline for nominations.

Mr. Kim told the court that, based on a letter from the Central Appraisal District, the county is at the allocation-of-votes step that must be completed before October 1. “My understanding based on the letter from the CADD is we're at the allocation of votes step, which needs to be done before October 1,” Kim said. He explained that once the county is told how many votes it has been allocated, the county may submit nominations and that a ballot will be provided in a subsequent step.

Court members agreed no action was required at the meeting and that nominations can be prepared in the intervening weeks and forwarded when the official ballot is available.

The court did not identify specific nominees nor record any formal allocation at this meeting.","Court members heard staff clarify that Collin County is at the allocation-of-votes step for Central Appraisal District director elections and that nominations will be accepted in the coming weeks; no vote was taken.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6472534,"Commissioners approve replat of Lot 1A in Arnold Creek Farms after public hearing",79,140000,219000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5776378-56d765c9cddb9d068e24aac3fc4505eb&start=140&end=219","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5776378-56d765c9cddb9d068e24aac3fc4505eb/thumbnail_140000.jpg","/articles/6472534/Collin-County/Texas/Commissioners-approve-replat-of-Lot-1A-in-Arnold-Creek-Farms-after-public-hearing","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6472534-7b8f190fb0f678363be0aa29cd2cd7b5/orig.mp4?Expires=1770793832&Signature=A-yvBmPNkCvr6AiVor27krFvpJPHRjiGieackTSu4hxdXtef2qhAQti0-GlmtXG1zXbFeOJyn88~jtm-QT9YbIp77OkmNHNOv8KJFQVcz6rjxdoHpAUMyxvMTh6zkCv1PBtZXIBGv31AzDSviYGYZzse9VkmtLc0nkfPbIbwX1Y7FHU9JgUf3uWJ3y8ZuQVDrgmWr~mVOxSkyXmMZHxV4KXjaDb1UfFHLde~Jy955cQgEs6Xax7lwdg-401M9-aXKMvEFhaVoSx1t1TmFL8uBvwUCkAmQ4bdNkIHcbviJUf4AD-DqT1d2~yxKh7DRgzylwAwA9dQ39TzhXCokOlI0Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Collin County Commissioners Court approved a replat request for Lot 1A of Arnold Creek Farms following a public hearing at which no members of the public spoke.

Clarence Doherty, identified in the meeting as Director of Engineering, told the court the property owner had requested subdivision of the tract into two parcels and that proper notifications had been made. The judge opened a public hearing and invited anyone present to speak; no one rose to address the court. A motion to approve the replat was made, seconded and passed 4 to 0.

Because the item had been pulled from the consent agenda for discussion, the court later reconvened the consent agenda and voted to approve it without items 1M1 (the Arnold Creek Farms replat) and 1M4. That motion also passed 4 to 0.

The nut of the matter: the county approved the property owner’s request to subdivide Lot 1A in Arnold Creek Farms; the required public-notification process was reported as completed and no public objections were recorded at the hearing.

Court members did not identify a mover or seconder by name on the replat motion in the public record. The court’s minutes will reflect final plat approval and the amended consent-agenda vote.","After a public hearing with no speakers, the court approved a request to subdivide Lot 1A of Arnold Creek Farms into two parcels and re-voted to approve the consent agenda without items 1M1 and 1M4; both motions passed 4-0.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":92,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6472538,"Collin County officials report 17.74% rise in traffic fatalities; regional transit subcommittee to seek unified system",699,918000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5776378-56d765c9cddb9d068e24aac3fc4505eb&start=219&end=918","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5776378-56d765c9cddb9d068e24aac3fc4505eb/thumbnail_219000.jpg","/articles/6472538/Collin-County/Texas/Collin-County-officials-report-1774-rise-in-traffic-fatalities-regional-transit-subcommittee-to-seek-unified-system","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6472538-ad68cf97191b81ae56271a09f6905293/orig.mp4?Expires=1770793832&Signature=V1ylN-zfIYkk-IuYbLEXdnYEiGj6APgcfOeVv-d359KuLzU7uf5uUvitAChRJL6gnyCAToJiUS0rxJwt-U8fT5cdGccNzkpABR-gy2JaPrhv8Ax1ZIhmp3~utdOf~7aOU5YuhImyMK0vojmN~QdO5tjGVHdKMnGwPEkg29NfLi-OFFWPOzSVijyF3MAQX2aBQlzEgnhaPiUqznPdV0LL9eFA5~iq1JjXYov3HPYdn0j7oHtfpfwkJ~gFPMykzv1AEpQ3f97Yz~oBoL6Z7YuaIlB20uB0COdbTgEog-qRQB4Xya0ex3MbGbwqIFsSna2IQmRwVkIgf7kTjuZJ728Hiw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Commissioner Webb told the Collin County Commissioners Court that the county recorded a 17.74% increase in traffic fatalities in 2024 and that regional transit leaders have begun drafting a policy to better coordinate transit across the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex.

Webb said the Regional Transportation Council (RTC) report showed Collin County was the only one of the four major urban counties in the DFW region with an increase. “Because of the 4 major urban counties in the DFW region, we're the only 1 that is going up, and we went up substantially,” Webb said during the court’s general discussion.

The nut of Webb’s presentation was twofold: safety and regional transit coordination. He told the court the fatality increase “should give us a little bit of cause for concern,” and that Collin County staff will seek more detailed data — by location and intersection — to determine whether population growth, concentration of roadwork and construction, or other factors are contributing.

Webb said he plans to work with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) on roadway design and other traffic-safety measures. He also described a first subcommittee meeting convened to develop policies that could encourage the three transit agencies in the region to provide more equitable, marketable services to both member and nonmember cities. The subcommittee will meet about twice a month for at least a year to draft proposals the RTC can adopt or present to the agencies.

On transit funding and governance, Webb said the subcommittee aims to create incentives for cities to participate in integrated services rather than using regulatory compulsion. He noted discussions around micro-transit paid from local maintenance-and-operations funds, the potential for withdrawal elections in 2026 for some large cities if restructuring fails, and long-term demographic pressure: “we're projected to double in size. The metroplex will be within, in the next 30 years, will be at effectively 16,000,000 people,” Webb said.

Other commissioners asked Webb to compare the fatality increase with population growth and construction activity; Webb said he would request more granular data from the RTC and TxDOT to help clarify causes. He also referenced prior work called Transit 2, a yearlong study by outside experts the RTC commissioned to identify short- and long-term recommendations.

Court members did not take formal action on the RTC report; the item was presented as an update and the court directed staff to seek additional data and coordinate with TxDOT and regional partners.

Next steps: Webb said staff will request detailed fatality-location data and continue the subcommittee’s drafting work, with further updates expected at future Commissioners Court meetings.","At Commissioners Court, Commissioner Webb reported a 17.74% increase in Collin County traffic fatalities for 2024 and described a new subcommittee working to craft a unified, equitable transit policy for the DFW metroplex.","actionData","errors"]
