Randall County officials appoint Megan Williams as 4‑H youth development agent, effective Sept. 1, 2026

Randall County Commissioners unanimously approved Megan Williams to serve as the county extension agent for 4‑H and youth development, with a start date of Sept. 1, 2026. The appointment was taken during a special meeting and the court recorded a final vote of 5‑0 in favor.

Josh, who presented the candidate to the court, said “She will start on September 1.” He told commissioners that Williams holds a master’s degree from UWT and will attend a week of orientation at Discovery Extension in College Station before beginning her duties. The transcript states “the Randall County portion of the salary is $17,611 and 6,000”; the record does not specify the purpose of the second $6,000 amount.

A motion to approve the appointment was made and seconded (mover/second not specified in the transcript) and the presiding officer called the vote. The presiding officer initially announced the motion as carrying “4 0” and then confirmed an additional commissioner who was online before recording the final tally as 5‑0. The court welcomed Williams, with a commissioner asking that staff pass along that they were excited to have her “as part of the Randall County family.”

There were no public comments submitted in person or online during the meeting. The presiding officer closed the special session and reminded participants the next regular session is scheduled for Sept. 8.

This appointment places Williams in a role the court identified as a priority for youth development in the county; the transcript documents the explicit start date and the county portion of compensation but does not provide a full salary breakdown or specify the second listed $6,000 amount.
