At the Aug. 22 commissioners court the Texas State Soil and Water Conservation Board delivered an operations-and‑maintenance reimbursement check for $18,963 to Ventura Garcia, commissioner, Precinct 2. Mario Altrejo of the local soil and water conservation district presented the check and thanked the court for support of small-dam projects.

Speakers noted the funds are already deposited to small‑dam projects and are not part of the county road and bridge fund. Commissioner Garcia and others thanked the board; the presenter said he had reapplied for additional funds for a future year.

Ending: The court accepted the check and expressed appreciation; county staff confirmed the funds were deposited to small-dam project accounts.
