The court formally moved, seconded and approved certification; the meeting record shows a roll-call style confirmation with \"Commissioner Orts? Aye. Commissioner Martin? Aye. Commissioner Sexton? Aye,\" followed by the judge's affirmative vote.

County staff indicated that the municipality will file additional startup paperwork with the county as part of its transition. The court asked that commissioners and staff sign the certification documents following the meeting; staff said the order would be signed and recorded.

The vote to certify Bloomington's incorporation was unanimous and the court directed staff to circulate the signed documents.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Commissioners' Court - June 02, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Following the canvass of a May election, Victoria County Commissioners Court approved Order No. 2025-049 to certify the incorporation of Bloomington, Texas; the court took a record vote and the order was signed.","taxTitle","Victoria County, Texas","taxId",9265,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6024036,"Commissioners approve two-year delay to Portside tax abatement timeline, citing AEP interconnect issues",168,1970000,2138000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5760795-bfdaccd997899bb95353f6c4c86b7b1f&start=1970&end=2138","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5760795-bfdaccd997899bb95353f6c4c86b7b1f/thumbnail_1970000.jpg","/articles/6024036/Victoria-County/Texas/Commissioners-approve-two-year-delay-to-Portside-tax-abatement-timeline-citing-AEP-interconnect-issues","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6024036-76ecd478a809c6fe6b58bea4ea358fff/orig.mp4?Expires=1771049068&Signature=aSmkBdwmPxBgRB1BTnPnYLONP73ZwHJ5UBn~eH2SgEsEcsJfG2nFDEhuZbWGY7HUdzq8kMuP3GgfJcYfIoSkF3BjA6z9Zq5NHhj~AJ~Y83D-qnJVADNLbLQvKrju4RE9wQQiORTfsEpmkJHGzchbrbMrupHyQi~CnZyru~1ujP5hYeVdNupKApP0WeOGT~VaSQDnjL6Oi1j9G3eTsqI6FpagTP-88nqZndf0RuPrn2Oqajh6Q4PYLy3lRGoh6sD7voLUya9qAEzRAQPP0Hew4UWdw9-Pv98cTUpD3bJd6ATIVvXMEGbeLlSQBNayuvZmHib8iVwz8Uiy677~~j~CFQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","County staff and the commissioners on June 2 agreed to delay the timeline for a previously approved tax abatement for the Portside project after the developer requested more time to secure an interconnect agreement with American Electric Power.

Jonas, who presented the request to the court, said the Portside project is facing delays \"due to the necessary interconnect agreement that they need with AEP,\" and that the company had requested the county codify a two-year extension in the minutes so the county attorney could process an amendment to the abatement application. The court confirmed the amendment will shift the beginning of the abatement timeline to 2029.

The court made the change by motion and voice vote; no dissent was recorded. County staff said market conditions remain favorable for projects at the Port of Victoria and that federal tax-credit language in recent congressional proposals could benefit projects that advance quickly, but the immediate reason for the extension was the developer's need to finalize utility interconnection.

County staff said they will provide the minutes and documentation to the project's attorney and that the office will email the finalized minutes to the project representatives. The county did not change any other terms of the abatement in open session.

The court's action was procedural: formalizing the agreed two-year delay in the abatement timetable so county legal staff can process the amendment.","Victoria County approved a two-year delay to a previously granted tax abatement for the Portside project after the developer said an interconnect agreement with AEP requires additional time; the court voted to move the agreement's timeline to begin in 2029.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6024041,"Victoria 4-H shotgun club urges county help as Keaton Trap Club lease nears end",284,88000,372000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5760795-bfdaccd997899bb95353f6c4c86b7b1f&start=88&end=372","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5760795-bfdaccd997899bb95353f6c4c86b7b1f/thumbnail_88000.jpg","/articles/6024041/Victoria-County/Texas/Victoria-4-H-shotgun-club-urges-county-help-as-Keaton-Trap-Club-lease-nears-end","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6024041-2e9f63ee07e9967db7367aae9fc24412/orig.mp4?Expires=1771049068&Signature=X8BQQ7ckhBFLCNFvEdgPAmNl0hNJBYKYu0dTqeiMiw8Qic~~kc2OtryKIrvaWoUuJs3kbVhcQBIvkAOqccQgTCpujOMDVL6NxN~hDC5M5PaDQTLpJnmBVBiFMzIiC8VmzUMORTKC5ATpxCpZ8LpjtxdkeqU0XowsWHZLhf5B1RlKCxqZTtoBU78HfBrOg6IYRHgZXHj1-oxlHFhJNyAUGSCKjpdSGdxXXy7Lfzc1Q3yOZMLBMYAHQD1gFkgSMQD~6JFQa11ejV5qN1SJPEaNKX3~0cfyF60iJm7asMERsdlM5x5AuShWDRyFzpGI88kwk1LRUvpi-GHmluOS3~6Chg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Shelly Levine, speaking during citizens communication at the June 2 Victoria County Commissioners Court meeting, appealed to the court to help preserve access to the Keaton Trap Club range used by Victoria-area 4-H shooting teams.

\"I'm Shelly Levine, and I'm with the Victoria 4 h shotgun club,\" Levine told the court, saying the club has 65 members and that \"about a 150 kids\" use the range for practice, including youths who travel from other counties. Levine said the lease for the range is nearing its end and that without a local facility many members would have to travel to the Corpus Christi area to practice.

Levine described several achievements and community contributions by club members: one current shooter has made a state team and will participate in a national shoot in Nebraska and has earned about $40,000 in scholarships, another former member shoots on the Texas A&M team, and a middle-school shooter already has about $6,000 in scholarship money. The club also runs a large two-day invited shoot that brings about 150 visiting shooters to the county in spring, and Levine said the event has previously been awarded hotel occupancy tax funding.

Levine asked the court to \"think long and hard and really try to come to a agreement\" with the trap-club membership and said the group is preparing for the lease's end in roughly two years. She urged commissioners to help negotiate a lease that will allow youth practices and events to continue in Victoria.

The remarks were taken during the public-comment portion of the meeting; the court did not take formal action on the lease during the June 2 session. Court members thanked Levine and encouraged continued discussion; no date for further action or staff follow-up was recorded in the minutes.

The 4-H club manager invited commissioners and the public to observe an upcoming practice to hear directly from the youth who use the facility.","A 4-H club manager told commissioners the Keaton Trap Club lease is nearing expiration and warned 65 club members and about 150 youth who use the range could lose local practice space; the court heard the appeal during citizens communication but took no formal action.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6024044,"Victoria County approves $835,143 runway design contract, warns temporary SkyWest disruptions",1143,609000,1752000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5760795-bfdaccd997899bb95353f6c4c86b7b1f&start=609&end=1752","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5760795-bfdaccd997899bb95353f6c4c86b7b1f/thumbnail_609000.jpg","/articles/6024044/Victoria-County/Texas/Victoria-County-approves-835143-runway-design-contract-warns-temporary-SkyWest-disruptions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6024044-3743e7139df29d1411cbc996ca69eae0/orig.mp4?Expires=1771049068&Signature=cJGcz-Xm4duvwJaFsm6i043tlSnNG-3XFPnhhT2UzcU5y-dkGIEgfyBx~enSbHpBz90Flls4oDaxfUvzBawuNPdJtYxZFZrHx7TaRNVrqaPTc-N~Or9vf7JzJszyaVOMNkVYwiVwfYreLY1fwmNBxsveFgtrHs6Rvddb-QgNaH3bH4g-EcGYtFR~~Nj4MBOecxWmDG4CSkx8~TUTjIT6R3gZkJRznSF1iQeXsBhHcdktZ0Y0AgSf6XRLl0d0buY6tXK3TN-AzyKNQBtFxuYUafAYyDsHZqW3jcOpMZkuiQ-hR4FgFMUgdzLboIlpGYZgmJI~iui0REyJTcrdZVsung__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Victoria County Commissioners Court on June 2 approved an $835,143.50 contract with Centurion Planning and Design to complete a 30% design for rehabilitation of Runway 13/31 and associated taxiway improvements at the Victoria Regional Airport and were told a taxi project could require a temporary runway closure that may disrupt SkyWest Airlines service for two to four weeks this summer.

The county judge and commissioners said the contract price has been approved by the Federal Aviation Administration. County staff told the court that parking-lot work at the airport has gone to bid and that bids are expected in mid-June. During citizens communication, airport staff warned the public that construction tied to the taxi project could force a runway closure around July and that the county is coordinating with SkyWest to limit disruption.

The runway design contract was presented by airport staff and approved by a unanimous vote. County documents presented at the meeting list the contract amount as $835,143.50 for the 30% design milestone; commissioners did not modify that figure on the floor. Airport staff said the design is an FAA-approved scope and the county can proceed to design work now that the contract is in place.

Commissioners also ratified an updated employment agreement for the Victoria Regional Airport executive director that removes a phrase referencing the Victoria County Regional Emergency Operations Complex (VC REOC) at airport property. The court said the change was made to avoid any misunderstanding with the Texas Division of Emergency Management about which office has oversight of the VC REOC; the court stated the project remains under the direction of the county's emergency management coordinator.

Airport staff described the possible temporary closure as part of the county's ongoing airport improvement projects and said they are working with the construction contractor and SkyWest Airlines to minimize passenger disruptions. No formal vote was required for the construction schedule announcement; the runway design contract and the ratified employment agreement were the formal actions taken.

Officials asked staff to continue coordinating with federal and airline partners, notify the public if firm closure dates are set, and bring any schedule changes back to the court if formal action becomes necessary.

The court approved the contract and ratified the employment agreement by voice vote; no roll-call dissent was recorded.

Looking ahead, county staff said design work will continue under Centurion's contract, parking improvements will proceed pending bids, and the county will provide public notice in coordination with SkyWest if the runway closure dates are finalized.","Commissioners approved a Centurion Planning and Design contract for a 30% design of Runway 13/31 and heard that an upcoming taxi project may close the runway for two to four weeks; the court also ratified a minor update to the airport executive director's employment agreement clarifying emergency management oversight.","actionData","errors"]
