This podcast contains comments from the October 28, 2025 Brazos County commission meeting.Brazos County commissioners approve a reorganization of the information technology (I.T.) department.In separate votes, there were changes to job descriptions of ten positions and changing the salary range of eight positions.Acting county judge Kyle Kacal said the votes do not result in any change to the department's fiscal year 2026 budget.Chief information officer Eric Caldwell responded to commissioner Fred Brown's question about making the personnel changes after approving in September, a $435,000 study on county employee pay and job descriptions.Caldwell said the timing of the reorganization is due to the move of a supervisor who was the head of over one third of the department's staff to the county's project management office.The reorganization includes some of the employees getting a pay raise of two steps on the county's salary schedule. Caldwell said those employees were given new leadership roles involving additional responsibilities.
