The Lamb County Commissioners Court hosted a special meeting on Monday, July 1, at the Lamb County Courthouse in Littlefield.
Present members included Lamb County Judge James DeLoach, Commissioner Precinct No. 1 Cory DeBerry, Commissioner Precinct No. 2 Kent Lewis, Commissioner Precinct No. 3 Danny Short, Commissioner Precinct No. 4 Lee Logan and County Clerk Rene Trevino.
Commissioners called the meeting to order to take action on the bond for Justice of the Peace for Pct. 1, Teresa Perez. Commissioner Cory DeBerry motioned to approve the bond, seconded by Commissioner Lee Logan. The bond passed unanimously.
Next, County Judge James DeLoach administered the Oath of Office to the newly appointed Teresa Perez.
“I’ve been in public service for most of my life, but there’s never been a time that I’ve seen more servants’ hearts than I have in this building,” DeLoach advised Perez. “We wish you the best; there are a lot of people in this building, and everyone will touch your office in some way, form, or fashion.”
The last agenda item for the special meeting involved accepting the Rural EMS Funding Grant. This grant is being awarded to Earth EMS.
Commissioner Kent Lewis motioned to accept the grant, seconded by Commissioner Danny Short. The grant was accepted unanimously.
With no other business to address, the special meeting adjourned at 9:13 a.m.
