Grayson County Fiscal Court Meeting Summary — January 5, 2021

This was a short, routine meeting of the Grayson County Fiscal Court to start the new year. After an opening prayer and pledge of allegiance, the court approved the minutes from the previous meeting, payment of bills, treasurer's budget transfers, jailor's payment of bills, and jail construction bills — all passing without discussion.

The court approved a $75,705.20 payment to a mechanical contractor for work related to the courthouse. Committee updates were brief, with mention of ongoing window work at the courthouse.

A notable personnel item: Bill Dalton was introduced as the newly elected Fourth District Constable, having won a special election to fill a seat that had been vacated.

On old business, it was noted that the county's dog ordinance is being revised due to public questions and concerns, with additional language being added before it is presented again to the court. The meeting closed with a note of condolence for a fellow magistrate whose mother had passed away, before the court voted to adjourn.
