The Commissioners’ Court had their regular meeting Monday, Dec. 9 at 8:30 a.m. in the county courtroom. Among the members, the agenda consisted of seven points.
First the court considered the approval of prior Commissioners Court minutes. After the minutes were approved and the reports of elected officials were discussed, the Court considered the approval of the Camp County holidays for the calendar year of 2014.
It was confirmed that the Pioneer Days for 2014 would be dropped as well as Columbus Day, but there would be three holiday days for Christmas the same as this year due to not very much court activity. Along with the holiday calendar, the Court also considered the approval of Order Designating Day of the Week, on which Commissioners‘ Court would convene in regular term for the calendar year of 2014. Like the Holidays, the meeting was kept the same as this year, in which the Court would meet on every second Monday of each month.
The next point on the agenda was to consider the approval of appointment of Camp County representative to the Camp Central Appraisal District Board of Directors. Gayle Burns was nominated and re-elected for the position. The Court also considered the request from Marlin Leasing for abatement of penalty and interest due on 2012 taxes on CCAD PID#9923598, in which the Court agreed to deny the request.
The final point that the Court discussed was to discuss and take possible action to create a County Energy Transportation Reinvestment Zone (CETRZ) and proceed with applications for the Texas Department of Transportation County Energy Transportation Infrastructure Fund Grant. The court agreed to take action and start the CETRZ process.
