The San Patricio County Commissioner's Court convened on August 4, 2025, to address several key agenda items, including election judge appointments and flooring contracts for the Civic Center.
The meeting began with a request from the elections administrative office regarding the acceptance of election judges for both the Republican and Democratic parties. The proposed judges will serve until August 2027. The elections official presented a list of chief election officials for polling places, noting that additional emergency appointments could be made closer to election dates. After a brief discussion, a motion to accept the list was made and seconded. The motion passed unanimously.
Following this, the court turned its attention to a request from Purchasing Coordinator Chesca Newman concerning the awarding of a contract for flooring at the Civic Center, specifically for the Centresha County Fairgrounds. Newman explained that the invitation for bids focused on price, with two options for carpet and epoxy flooring. PDM Construction submitted the lowest bid for carpet tile flooring at $39,896, while Witherspoon Construction offered the lowest bid for epoxy flooring at $58,649. The court discussed the benefits of each option, noting that the epoxy flooring comes with a lifetime warranty on the product and a one-year warranty on workmanship. The commissioners were tasked with deciding which flooring option to pursue.
The meeting concluded with no further discussions, and the court will follow up on the flooring decision in future sessions. Overall, the session addressed important administrative matters that will impact both the electoral process and the facilities within the county.
