The Special Commissioner's Court in Johnson County, Texas, convened on October 2, 2025, to address several key agenda items, culminating in unanimous approvals for multiple grant agreements and a service fee payment.

The meeting commenced with a discussion on item A1, which involved a proposal that was creatively developed by a commissioner to address a previously unresolved issue. The motion to approve this item was met with unanimous support from the court members, and the proposal will be signed and communicated to the city of Fort Worth.

Following this, the court moved to item A2, which considered a grant agreement for the Rural Sheriff's Office Salary Assistance Program. County Judge Christopher Bedeker presented the SB 22 grant agreement, which was approved without urgency but was timely added to the agenda. The motion received unanimous approval, and the judge will sign and return the agreement promptly.

Item A3 was similarly focused on a grant agreement, this time for the Rural Prosecutor's Office Salary Assistance Program. County Attorney Bill Moore sought permission to sign this agreement, which also passed unanimously after a motion and second were made.

The final item, A4, addressed the payment of an out-of-state service fee to the Ouachita Parish Sheriff's Office. Mr. Watson explained that the fee had not been processed due to a missed requisition in the current system, which is set to improve in January with a new workflow. The court approved the payment to ensure that necessary legal proceedings could continue.

In summary, the meeting effectively addressed all agenda items with unanimous decisions, reflecting a collaborative effort among the commissioners to support local law enforcement and legal services. The court's next steps include the signing and processing of the approved agreements and payments.
