Frank Casey, a resident of Sutton in Precinct 3, asked the court for an explanation after noticing county materials and equipment on private property for about six months. \"This is our tax money in Precinct 3 that she has stored on her personal property and no telling what else,\" Casey said, referring to a former commissioner (name not specified by the speaker). He also told the court he had been told the new commissioner, Ruben Gonzalez, had four workers at Casey's home doing work and said he supported Gonzalez's efforts: \"He's done more in the past 6 months than the last 2 commissioners did in 10 years.\" Casey requested answers from the court.

Edna Cavazos, a Precinct 3 resident who attended a community cleanup in St. Paul, thanked Commissioner Gonzalez, Gabriel Fonseca (staff organizer) and other staff for organizing and staffing the event. \"Great outcome... Everything was well organized. People were smiling. Environmental was there. Great guidance,\" Cavazos said.

Bobby Nedbolic (listed in the transcript as a Precinct 3 resident) urged the court to consider a unified county approach to road management, arguing current practices favor higher-population areas and leave rural roads in greater disrepair. He cited a conversation with former commissioner Fred Nardini about county growth and the need for a centralized road management system. \"Please get serious about your responsibility as a court to wisely manage county tax money and services with the obvious choice to have a unified county management of county roads,\" he said.

The judge and commissioners did not announce any immediate investigatory actions in response to the allegations about county materials on private property during the public comment period. Commissioner Gonzalez later reported ongoing road and maintenance work in Precinct 3, including chip sealing, brush pickup and barrier painting in multiple areas.

The court did not take action on the specific allegation that county materials remain on a private parcel during the meeting; residents asked for answers and the court recorded praise for recent cleanup and maintenance activity.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","San Patricio - Commissioner's Court - Jun 16, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Speakers during public comment thanked Commissioner Gonzalez for recent cleanup efforts and asked the court to investigate reports that county materials and equipment remain stored on private property associated with a former commissioner.","taxTitle","San Patricio County, Texas","taxId",69592,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_32":75,"_34":35,"_36":37,"_38":76,"_40":77,"_42":78,"_44":79,"_46":80,"_48":81,"_50":82,"_52":83,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":84,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":85,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6540734,"Court approves multiple contracts, transfers and road actions; votes at a glance",1477,1285000,2762000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3842910-86e037da99d14b90ed717b55b35a4c92&start=1285&end=2762","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3842910-86e037da99d14b90ed717b55b35a4c92/thumbnail_1285000.jpg","/articles/6540734/San-Patricio-County/Texas/Court-approves-multiple-contracts-transfers-and-road-actions-votes-at-a-glance","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6540734-c8c3020e05f03d902a2833dab026899e/orig.mp4?Expires=1769740278&Signature=euMr2SJvM7j9dPsF6IgSP94TtZEo0CxqnJ5pNYC5h-6RWYVKKYcLlo2wSTbU-w2Gkcf1FFE2Oe1U9-KAkEUsuuC6ujwS3gq7pExN~vC4Is1sstO1y1S2U9lnaH4Rjnn6rARo2WyQ0F6na-4znC4CbGSjbqicXvS1bb4BI6aTYxXU601OWHkJIEqOBoJeKitUyHPAnUlFW57LXp7xJ0gNsfFrYjFstJu1ZvJo7XrWCp2AlgK~YOzwBmCdQRkObXJejzble0O5WTaWPDazBuJdKmfUZYcfNl8TPKOpZYdqYD~vhBHyOKBPEk1J8KFNyD5wHcfQlaxIfKISLi~EGyJySA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","San Patricio County Commissioners on Monday voted on a broad set of consent and action items covering budget transfers, procurement awards, road acceptances and contract approvals.

Judy Langford, president of Langford Community Management Services, told the court that amendment No. 2 represents 6% of the MOD (method of distribution) funds and covers environmental work, permitting, Davis-Bacon wage compliance oversight and construction oversight for 10 projects. \"It is inclusive of the environmental that we anticipate will have a culture resource survey in at least a couple of places,\" Langford said.

Commissioners raised concerns about the broader schedule for drainage projects funded through separate CDBG and MOD awards. Commissioner Ruben Gonzalez pressed for an update on why some engineering work has remained at about 95% complete: \"We're almost $35,000,000 in drainage projects... I have a very much concern that we're not having any movement on it,\" he said. Langford and county staff said delays stemmed from slow initial procurement of engineers and pending approvals from third parties such as railroads; Langford said several projects were ready for bid once acquisition and final plan sign-offs are completed.

Langford also warned of the county’s exposure if projects cannot be completed within grant deadlines: \"If we cannot complete the project, we would might have to reimburse some of the funding we've received,\" she said. County staff said they were working with the Texas General Land Office (GLO) to try to meet deadlines and would present solutions to the court.

Following discussion, a motion to approve the amendment passed (motion and second recorded); commissioners did not specify a roll-call tally on the record. County staff and Langford said they will continue advancing engineering, finalize acquisitions and move select segments to bid in an effort to meet GLO timelines.

The item followed other grant-related actions the court considered, including authorizing legal services to assist with acquisitions and awarding contracts related to the county’s GLO programs.","The court approved Amendment No. 2 to the county’s CDBG mitigation administration contract covering method-of-distribution projects after a discussion about slow progress on large drainage projects and steps to push plans to bid.",{"_32":99,"_34":35,"_36":37,"_38":100,"_40":101,"_42":102,"_44":103,"_46":104,"_48":105,"_50":106,"_52":107,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":108,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":109,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6540743,"San Patricio County launches public hurricane-planning GIS tool and data viewer",75,685000,760000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3842910-86e037da99d14b90ed717b55b35a4c92&start=685&end=760","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3842910-86e037da99d14b90ed717b55b35a4c92/thumbnail_685000.jpg","/articles/6540743/San-Patricio-County/Texas/San-Patricio-County-launches-public-hurricane-planning-GIS-tool-and-data-viewer","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6540743-d27ef5b409d4920db46e524d9bd2b55c/orig.mp4?Expires=1769740278&Signature=SOuvgK64uEqhdATTnXncn4cKE7E1PqgJu-BktTQkY-6X5McwLXTtl~Y~WXYbP0emLeqh-axnJbajL6w39gSxsxslrMBNiK0A3Atz38r~q8cuNbNC6YYwq03BtDgSEHN6YeShnNRfD5LD9NoVFxjYOUyzxvfbSc7Agg2JUxS~HvTHXgUO7ATcHTH7RcSa9gosOqLd3-6CktC813nyrP6Js8evAT~c1Koj1w5DYzEVqfBAxQNDd48i70cim-txSCbrSG6jUxRajHAt-3~NKa0vX5bddtjst44abH1vcTnmWY3C1QC5~rut1h9qxMo6SyI0gim3LhUF09UQrLkJ3ub-Gg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","San Patricio County on Monday demonstrated a new public-facing geographic information system that county officials said will let residents check evacuation zones, weather alerts, flood plains and local parcel data online.

The county judge introduced Colton, the county’s GIS technician, who showed commissioners and the public a hurricane planning tool available via the county website. Colton said the tool displays evacuation zones that \"will light up on the map\" when zones are ordered and pulls in National Weather Service alerts such as flash flood warnings in near real time. \"You can search your address to find out what zone that you live in,\" he said.

The map also includes county layers for commissioner precincts, voting districts, ZIP-code boundaries and school districts; Colton demonstrated that selecting a parcel can surface the school district, websites and contact details. He said parcel outlines are drawn from the appraisal district and that his data updates when the appraisal district updates its records. \"I communicate with the appraisal district regularly, and the data that I have is directly tied to what they have,\" he said.

Judge David Krebs praised the work and framed the tool as a convenience for residents who previously had to visit multiple offices to find boundaries. \"This is gonna be a hurricane system. . . . So I wanted Colton to come in here and explain this to everybody,\" Krebs said, adding the county is investing in technology so \"citizens can be more involved in what's happening in this county.\" Commissioner Ruben Gonzalez and other commissioners asked brief operational questions about ETJs and city boundary data; Colton said ETJs can be added and that city-limit boundaries are included where available.

County officials also demonstrated a public data viewer that includes historical storm tracks, storm-surge layers and flood maps tied to FEMA nationwide datasets. Colton said the county plans to add elevation layers and more land-use detail.

The judge and commissioners said the tool will reduce the need for in-person visits to the appraisal district or city halls for many routine boundary and flood-zone questions. The GIS application is posted on the county website for public use.

Less critical details: Colton did not provide an exact rollout schedule for additional layers, and commissioners asked that ETJs (extraterritorial jurisdiction boundaries) be added; Colton said those can be included as public-facing data if the court directs it.","County GIS staff demonstrated a new public-facing mapping tool that shows evacuation zones, weather alerts and parcel/flood data; commissioners said the service will centralize information now scattered across local offices.","actionData","errors"]
