Commissioners table Williams family cemetery plat

Freestone County commissioners moved to table the Williams family cemetery plat after a commissioner made a motion and another seconded it, the court announced.

The presiding officer opened discussion on item 10, asking for a motion to act on the Williams family cemetery plat. A commissioner moved, "I make a motion to table that second," and another participant seconded the motion. The presiding officer then declared, "Motion carried." The transcript does not record a roll-call vote or a tally for the motion.

The action followed brief comments from a meeting participant who said the applicants "have it ready" and that they "were here for Wednesday," indicating the applicants had previously appeared before the court. Commissioners did not state further discussion or conditions in the public record before voting to table.

The court then moved on. The presiding officer said item 11 had already been addressed under item 7 (applications for plats and replats); staff indicated they would record "no action" for item 11 and note that approval was reflected under item 7. Finally, the court announced it would enter executive session on personnel matters under Texas Government Code 551.074 at 9:35.

Next steps: the Williams family cemetery plat remains tabled; the court proceeded to an executive session for personnel issues at the announced time.
