COLDSPRING — An agreement between San Jacinto County and the city of Shepherd for permits raised questions at the Commissioners’ Court meeting on Wednesday.

County Judge Fritz Faulkner said the interlocal agreement with city of Shepherd was tabled for additional research.

Currently, the county does most of the permitting work for the city, but the city collects the fees, Faulkner said, and said commissioners will be meeting with staff in the coming week to have questions answered.

In other business, the court:

•approved the application process for a Tribal Consistency Fund funds;

•approved a change to subdivision rules to require permits from utility companies;

•approved a $5,000 limit credit card to be used by the Sheriff’s Department for inmate transportation;
