Comal County signs final amendment and release to close out USACE contract for increased law enforcement at Canyon Lake
Summary
The court approved an amendment and release of claims to close out U.S. Army Corps of Engineers contract W9126G24P0012P00001, adjusting funding for unworked hours and finalizing payment for increased law‑enforcement services at Canyon Lake.
Comal County commissioners on May 22 approved the final amendment to U.S. Army Corps of Engineers contract W9126G24P0012P00001 and accepted a release of claims and final payment documents to close out the agreement for increased law enforcement services at Canyon Lake.
The sheriff’s office reported that staffing and visitation adjustments resulted in unworked hours in September; the modification adjusts the contract’s funded amount to account for those hours. County staff presented the amendment and the release of claims as the final closeout documents.
Why it matters: The contract funded extra law enforcement coverage at Canyon Lake during high‑use periods. Closing out the contract with accurate accounting of worked and unworked hours completes the federal procurement cycle and clears final payment obligations.
Captain Smith, who presented the item, said the modification resulted from an unexpected medical leave that reduced available staffing and from decisions not to work certain September hours because visitation patterns changed. Commissioner Leacock moved approval; Commissioner Crownover seconded. The court adopted the amendment and the release of claims by voice vote.
Ending: Approval closes the contract administratively and authorizes the county to finalize the federal payment and recordkeeping.
