Grayson County commissioners will make the results of the Senate District 30 runoff election official Tuesday by canvassing the results.
The court s last meeting of 2020 will start at 10 a.m. in the East Courtroom of the Grayson County Courthouse in Sherman and will be available to stream online at https://www.co.grayson.tx.us/page/co.ccvideo.
In addition to looking over the election results, commissioners will consider a request by the Grayson County Sheriff s Office to allow that office to take ownership of a tactical robot from the Texoma Council of Governments. The material in the court s agenda didn t say what the robot does exactly, but it did say it cost $31,000 and was paid for with federal funds. The agenda material said the robot will be used by special teams at the GCSO.
