Lubbock County meeting summaries, agendas, and minutes

Lubbock County Commissioners Court weighs FY2027 budget, Woodrow Road change order, and election prep

Budget workshops focus on FY2027 funding

Lubbock County Commissioners Court held a series of budget workshops on July 15, 16, 23, and 27 in the second-floor auditorium at 916 Main to review county department funding requests for fiscal year 2027. Topics on the workshop agendas included road operations and maintenance, capital projects, salaries and benefits, travel, training, and contract services.

A new requirement under House Bill 1522 is noted on the workshop agenda: the county must include a taxpayer impact statement disclosing current and estimated property tax bills for the median-valued homestead property.

Note: Minutes for these sessions have not yet been published, so specific decisions or votes from the workshops are not yet part of the public record.

Regular meeting agenda covers salaries, road project, and election setup

The Commissioners Court regular meeting scheduled for July 27 includes several notable items. Because minutes are not yet available, the following are agenda items and have not been confirmed as final actions.

• **Elected officer salaries (Item 5):** The Court is set to discuss and vote on salaries, expenses, and allowances for elected county officers for FY 2027.
• **Woodrow Road Phase II change order (Item 7):** A consent agenda item would approve Change Order #1 for Woodrow Road Phase II in the amount of $416,923.00.
• **Juvenile placement agreements (Items 8–12):** The consent agenda includes multiple juvenile placement agreements with Cameron County and Rockdale Youth Academy.
• **Interim Public Works Director (Item 39):** The agenda includes appointing Rodshadi Moore as Interim Public Works Director.
• **November 3, 2026 election preparations (Items 26–32):** The Court is scheduled to approve early voting locations, vote centers, and election judges for the November 3, 2026 general election.

A presentation on a cybersecurity partnership is also listed on the regular agenda.

What this means for residents

The FY2027 budget workshops will shape how county departments are funded starting October 1, 2026, affecting road maintenance, staffing, and capital projects across Lubbock County precincts. The House Bill 1522 taxpayer impact statement requirement means residents will see an estimate of how proposed property tax rates would affect a typical homestead. The Woodrow Road Phase II change order, if approved, would add $416,923.00 to that road project's cost. Election-related items determine where and how residents vote in the November 3, 2026 general election.

Coming up

No upcoming meetings are listed on the provided calendars for the next 14 days. Residents should check the Lubbock County Commissioners Court calendar for any newly posted sessions or rescheduled workshops.

FY2027 Budget Workshops

The Commissioners Court scheduled a series of budget workshops on July 15, 16, 23, and 27, 2026, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. in the 2nd-floor auditorium at 916 Main Street. The workshops are designed to hear funding requests from county departments for fiscal year 2027.

Topics on the workshop agendas include:

• Precinct road operations and maintenance
• Capital expenditures
• Salaries, benefits, and personnel
• Operational expenses, travel, and training
• Contracts and professional services

The agenda notes a new requirement under House Bill 1522 to include a taxpayer impact statement showing current and estimated property tax bills for the median-valued homestead property. The current-year median homestead value is listed at $219,456 with $735 in taxes; the 2026 median homestead value is listed as not available.

Workshop recordings are to be posted on the Lubbock County website the Monday following each session. The agenda was posted on July 8, 2026, at the county courthouse bulletin board and west doors. For accessibility accommodations, the county lists a contact number — (806) 775-1330 — or the County Judge's office.

What This Means for Residents

The reinvestment zone item, if approved, could affect how property taxes are structured within that zone. The juvenile service contracts determine where county-referred youth are placed for residential care in FY2027. The road donation, if accepted, would add a segment of CR 5800 to the county road system. The budget workshops will shape county spending priorities — including road maintenance, staffing, and facilities — for the fiscal year that begins October 1, 2026.
