During discussion the court asked how sewage would be handled. The record states the development will use septic systems; the developer or project representative said the project uses a single large septic system sized for the development rather than individual systems for each space. Commissioners asked county engineers to review the septic arrangement as part of the final approval process.

The court recorded a motion, a second and an affirmative voice vote approving final plating; no roll-call vote with member names was recorded in the transcript.

The project was presented as fully paid and ready for final approval. The transcript includes a request that engineers “proof this for the septic,” and county staff confirmed payments and required items were in place.

Ending: The court approved final phase 1 and directed engineers to review septic system plans; no inspection deadline or permit issuance timetable was recorded in the meeting minutes.","The Commissioners Court granted final approval for Safiro Hassul RV Park Phase 1 in Precinct 1 on March 10, 2025, and discussed septic arrangements for the site.

The award follows discussion that the county’s available grant funding for the project totals about $1 million, creating an approximate $200,000 gap between the bid and available funds. Commissioners instructed architects to pursue negotiations with the bidder to try to bring the project cost into line with the awarded grant.

The county said the bid was submitted through a competitive solicitation process but that only one bid was returned. The court recorded the motion, a second and an affirmative voice vote; no roll-call vote with member names was recorded in the transcript.

County officials described the work as a rehabilitation of the existing juvenile detention facility, with specific reference to basement work. Officials said the funding includes grant money obtained with the assistance of U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar.

The court approved the award and directed staff and the project architect to proceed with negotiation and review to reconcile the bid with available funds. No timetable for negotiation or a revised contract was specified at the meeting.

The motion carried by voice vote without a named roll-call. The court did not specify an exact plan to cover the remaining shortfall in the meeting record.

Ending: The county will move forward with contract negotiations and architect review; the transcript does not record a follow-up deadline or additional funding source for the shortfall.","On March 10, 2025, the Starr County Commissioners Court awarded a $1.2 million bid to Loscon Business and Investments to rehabilitate the county juvenile detention center. Commissioners noted the county currently has about $1 million in grant funds and asked architects to seek cost reductions or negotiate with the bidder.","actionData","errors"]
