Van Alstyne could keep calling on Collin County road crews for maintenance and repairs over the next four years under an agreement headed to the county's commissioners on Nov. 9.
The interlocal agreement, county contract No. 2026-493, was first placed on the consent agenda for the Collin County Commissioners Court's Nov. 2 meeting. The county's printed Nov. 2 agenda now marks the item as moved to the court's Nov. 9 meeting, along with most of that day's other items. Commissioners meet at the Jack Hatchell Administration Building, 2300 Bloomdale Road in McKinney.
*Updated Oct. 27: The item was moved from the Nov. 2 agenda to the Nov. 9 meeting, according to the county's agenda.*
A county Public Works memo dated Oct. 19 calls it an updated agreement and says it would run four years from approval. The contract itself takes effect on Oct. 1, 2026, or when both governing bodies approve it, whichever is later, and lasts through Sept. 30, 2030. Either side can end it with 30 days' written notice.
City Manager Lane Jones signed the city's copy on Oct. 16.
Who pays
The county does the work; the city covers the bill. Under the agreement, Van Alstyne pays in full once a job is finished and billed, and the payment must fully reimburse Collin County for labor, equipment and materials. Late payments would draw interest under the Texas Prompt Payment Act.
The county budget office notes that the money would come from its Road and Bridge Fund and be repaid when each job is done.
