New Brazos County Commissioners Initiate Discussion On Multiple Items In One Meeting

The February 18th meeting of the Brazos County commission meeting included unanimous votes on four items that included comments and questions from newly elected commissioners Fred Brown and Bentley Nettles. Commissioner Brown chuckled about the request to issue a Diners Club credit card to a county employee, saying he had not seen that card since the 1980’s. Purchasing agent Charles Wendt said the card was still being accepted and that they are looking into other credit card companies. Commissioner Nettles was told the county did not have the ability to garnish the wages of an undisclosed number of retired county employees who did not reimburse the county for health insurance premiums totaling a combined $783 dollars. Commissioner Brown, who is a retired car dealership owner, explained that the dealer that the commission approved for a new pickup truck to replace one that was totaled, had contracts with all state agencies and was able to make money on selling law enforcement vehicles at cost by the light bars it installed on those vehicles. And commissioner Brown asked the purchasing agent for an explanation about why a 2020 contract was still in effect. This was in reference to the commission approving pest control services returning to a building that was slated for demolition but will continue to be occupied.
