Grayson County Fiscal Court Meeting 07.19.2022 · Watch on YouTube ↗

Summary

The Grayson County Fiscal Court held a routine meeting on July 19, 2022, opening with a prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance. Magistrates worked through a lengthy consent-style agenda, approving the minutes of the previous meeting, payment of bills, and a series of financial settlements for the county treasurer, jailer, and sheriff, including quarterly and annual settlement reports and budget transfer adjustments. All of these routine financial items passed without objection.

The court also voted to declare the contents of the old hospital building as surplus property, with plans to sell the items at auction. Magistrates noted the building contains a large amount of miscellaneous items accumulated over time.

A lease agreement between Grayson County Fiscal Court and the Hardin County Board of Education was approved, updating paperwork for the adult education space on the third floor of a county building (previously associated with ECTC) that helps jail inmates work toward their GEDs.

In a matter affecting residents, the court approved a petition to rename Laurel Fork Drive to Yogurt Road after confusion between it and the similarly named Laurel Fork Road caused delivery and mail service mix-ups. All property owners along the road signed in favor of the change. Magistrates also discussed similar road-naming confusion in other parts of the county that has proven difficult to resolve with mapping services like Garmin.

Finally, the court approved the flex road list for submission to the state for funding approval, a routine step in the road improvement process. The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn.

  • 5:02

    probably sell at an auction you got a list there there's any questions you want to talk about discuss it's just we got quite a bit of stuff in there most of it's some of you been in there it's not some some stuff so good i guess yeah i probably got no blankie in there or something i ain't even born you're probably much big money yeah next we have approved lease agreement between grayson county fiscal court and hardin county board education and what that is is that's the adult head up here on the third floor which it used to be through basically adult education and for some reason now they've switched it to hardin county board of education so ctc used to pay it yeah yeah so basically they do the same thing

  • 6:18

    so they worked with the jail quite quite often with the with the inmates to help get them their geds and that type of stuff i'll make a question so that's all it is just redoing just changing the wording on the on the lease agreement from uh basically ectc's let's see who it was yeah now it's hard yeah now it's hardened county board education needs a motion to approve right motion by brian ii by neil all in favor any opposed all right next we've got an approved petition to change the name of laurel fork drive to yogurt road uh neil this is in your district i've seen all that paperwork uh they came up here uh laurel fork drive and laurel fort road is right across from yeah laurel fork road runs up right beside of uh giz on one side and students is on the other side well no the the actual road road runs beside between joe mcstoots and daryl roof's place yeah

  • 7:31

    and that's why uh then they then you've got laurel fork drive which is right on the other side yeah i think so evidently ups and the mail service and everybody's been getting everything mixed up and which i it's understandable so because you got road and drive same name across from it so they came in and requested us do that and of course we gave them the forms to fill out you all got a copy of it i think yeah and everybody that's on that road signed that so there's a hundred percent that actually signed that to to change the name of that road so that way if you have anybody asked why we did that's why they figured it would be a little bit easier on them because they was getting deliveries out there and he was going to the wrong place so i got motion judge all right motion by darren i'll second second by neal all in favor of any opponents see they're doing the same thing out there in sandler road inside their lane the chicken people you got chicken farms on saturday lane and then it's taken about southern road and it's dead end yeah we've tried to get stuff changed with with uh gps with garmin yeah that's

  • 8:50

    i mean you just you'd have better luck in getting in touch with somebody in washington i guess and we just can't i mean they won't can't you really get nobody to contact because you got to email them nobody will email you back about changing some of this stuff on garment because they had to come out there and fix it on this lane because they tore it off pieces they got out there inside the road this dead end right now and they had to come out and they worked on it quite a while company did because gps sent them out there and now the state i stopped the state and they put up some signs that you know no semis past this point right in the curb area by hooker barton road right and that's helped that i think but yeah yeah okay uh other new business normal jason kidd there jeremy all right uh one thing i've got
