The Lubbock County Commissioners' Court convened on July 28, 2025, to address several key agenda items, including interlocal agreements and updates on technology services.

The meeting began with a discussion regarding the number of counties that have reached out for assistance following recent events, with the count currently at six. The commissioners emphasized the urgency of ensuring these counties do not lose vital services related to autopsies.

Next, the court moved to authorize the County Judge to sign an interlocal cooperative agreement for housing inmates from Potter County at the Lubbock County Detention Center. Sheriff’s Office representative Dan Colburn confirmed that the daily charge for housing these inmates remains at $75. The motion was approved unanimously.

Following this, Isaac Badu, the Technology Director, provided a report on the status of information technology services in Lubbock County. He reported a total of 558 work orders for June, with 518 completed and 40 still open. For July, there were 452 work orders, with 376 closed and 76 remaining open. Badu acknowledged concerns about the increasing number of open work orders and explained that the nature of the issues varies, with some requiring parts that delay resolution. He reassured the court that efforts are being made to address these work orders promptly.

The meeting also touched on plans to enhance the county's website, with discussions about allocating $300,000 to initiate improvements. This initiative aims to improve public access and services through the county's online platform.

In conclusion, the meeting highlighted the court's commitment to maintaining essential services and improving technology infrastructure, with several motions passed to facilitate these efforts. The next steps include finalizing the interlocal agreements and continuing to address the backlog of IT work orders.
