At its April 8, 2025 meeting, the Grayson County Commissioners Court approved routine business and several action items including minutes, payment of bills, renewal contracts for juvenile services, a public health preparedness contract amendment, and multiple plats. The court also announced a public hearing on possible truck restrictions in Precinct 1 and held executive sessions on economic development and pending litigation without taking action.

The court approved the minutes for April 1, 2025 (motion by Commissioner Marsh; second by Commissioner Wright) and approved the consent agenda and routine bills. Commissioner Arthur moved to authorize payment of bills for April 8; Commissioner Hardenberg seconded.

Juvenile services: Greg Sumter of Juvenile Services presented renewal contracts with Ector, Cherokee and Smith counties for detention and post-adjudication services for FY25; the court authorized the county judge to sign the contracts (motion by Commissioner Wright; second by Commissioner Hardenberg).

Public health: A staff member presenting the Department of State Health Services contract amendment described it as an extension that revises the termination date to June 30, 2026 and carries federal funds of $115,872 with a Grayson County match of $11,587; the court approved the amendment (motion by Commissioner Arthur; second by Commissioner Hardenberg). The presenter said the extension was needed because otherwise the contract would have expired on June 30, 2025.

Land use: The court approved two short plats: a 5.102-acre tract at 180 Tribble Road in Precinct 2 (to be subdivided into two lots) and a 2.676-acre tract in Precinct 1 (single-lot subdivision). The court also approved the preliminary plat for Grayson Farms West, a proposed 39-lot subdivision on a 55.199-acre tract on FM Highway 33356 in Precinct 1. Presenters indicated each proposal met Grayson County subdivision regulations for the respective plat stage.

Announcements and hearings: The court announced it will hold a public hearing in April 2025 to consider an order to restrict truck traffic on Biggerstaff Road, Stark Lane and Tate Circle in Precinct 1.

Executive sessions: Pursuant to the Texas Government Code, the court met in executive session under sections governing economic development deliberations (Texas Government Code section 551.087) and consultation with attorneys regarding pending litigation (Texas Government Code section 551.071). On returning to open session the court reported no action would be taken on items discussed in executive session.

All recorded routine motions were approved by the court during the meeting. No contested votes or public comments on the listed action items were recorded in the transcript.
