County weighs overtime rules for jailer supervisors
The labor column notes jailers must work 171 hours in 28 days to qualify for overtime, creating a funding bind as the county explores paying volunteers to supervise inmate workers. A plan to hire a dedicated officer is eyed. The board also advances Eagle Drive widening with a 12,000 cost split with Mont Belvieu, sets aside 150,000 for FM 1405 improvements, and eyes a possible 2.5 million square foot warehouse bringing 200 to 300 jobs, pending formal agreement and TXDOT support. The county will seek state officials’ help to persuade TxDOT to fund the project.
