Victoria County Commissioners Court on June 23 approved a memorandum of understanding with the Victoria Parks Coalition Inc. to formalize a donation-based beautification initiative at Patriot Park and also approved two resolutions accepting donated surveillance equipment and installation labor for the park.

Commissioner Martin described the MOU as a formalization of several years of volunteer donations at Patriot Park — citing donated concrete benches, tables and disc-golf improvements — and thanked the Victoria Parks Coalition for its contributions. "This has been something that's been ongoing for the past several years, and the Victoria Parks Coalition has made some great donations... All this is is putting this into writing to make this more official," Commissioner Martin said.

The court also approved Resolution No. 2025-053 accepting a surveillance camera donated by Vietnam Veterans of America March for Patriot Park and Resolution No. 2025-054 accepting time and labor valued at $1,020 from VCS Security Systems to install that camera. The court recorded motions and passed both resolutions by voice vote with no opposition.

Why it matters: the actions formalize a public–private partnership for park improvements and add surveillance equipment the court accepted via donation and donated installation labor; county staff will complete the required signature steps to finalize the MOU and record the donations.

Clarifying details: the MOU was presented as a routine action to document existing donations and to frame continuing partnership; the camera donation and installation value ($1,020) were recorded in the resolutions approved by the court.
