Summary

Staff briefed the court that the 101 North project carries an estimated FY26 budget of about $59 million, with $9.4 million from certificates of obligation and a $15 million general‑fund transfer agreed earlier this year; contracting status expected by January.

County staff told Brazos County commissioners the 101 North project is currently estimated at $59 million for FY26 and that funding plans include a $9.4 million portion covered by 2023 certificates of obligation and a $15 million transfer from the general fund that the court agreed to during the current fiscal year.

Staff said they were not yet under contract for the larger portion of the project and expected a contracting timeline in January; until staff is under contract the budgeted amount will remain in the proposed budget line as planned. Commissioners were reminded that the $15 million general‑fund transfer was approved earlier and that the county cannot commit funds beyond already executed agreements.

Commissioners asked routine clarifying questions; staff said they would keep the funding line in the proposed budget and report back when contracts are executed or if timing changes.
