Gas department presents recent surpluses, lists recent and upcoming business connections
Summary
County staff presented gas system monthly reports showing recent surpluses and provided a multi-year list of businesses that have connected to the system or are pending connection, including 7‑Eleven, Panda Express, Starbucks and others.
A county staff member presenting the gas department report told the Starr County Commissioners Court on Feb. 24 that the gas system showed surpluses in recent months and provided a list of multi-year projects and new business connections.
The speaker (identified in the record as a gas department representative) said the department provided figures for November, December and January and offered a list of businesses that have opened or are opening that used county gas services. The presenter said the list included 7‑Eleven, Panda Express, Starbucks, Dutch Bros, M and G Cleaners and, more recently, Tractor Supply, IHOP, Border Pacific and McDonald's.
The presenter said some month-to-month variance in surplus or deficit is tied to construction and project activity in the county. When a commissioner asked whether the total listed on the report was the county's installation cost or the business's cost, the presenter responded that the total shown represented the businesses' cost for supplies and fees.
No formal action was taken on the gas report; it was provided for the court's review.
