Council Approves Resolution Backing Federal Appropriations Applications to Congresswoman Van Dyne
Summary
The Hurst City Council approved Resolution 18‑79 authorizing the city manager to apply for FY 2026 federal appropriations through the office of Congresswoman Beth Van Dyne, supporting several infrastructure and public‑safety projects for competitive consideration.
The Hurst City Council voted to approve Resolution 18‑79 on Tuesday, authorizing the city manager to apply for FY 2026 federal appropriations through the office of Congresswoman Beth Van Dyne.
The resolution signals elected‑official support for a range of proposed projects — including rehabilitation or relocation of Fire Station No. 3, protection of a regional sewer line along a Walker Creek branch, concrete replacement on portions of Pipeline Road, and redevelopment efforts near the Trinity Lake Station — and also extends support for regional partners seeking apparatus through the Northeast Tarrant County fire and safety associations. City staff emphasized that the appropriation process is competitive and that any federal funding would typically require local matching funds.
A staff presenter told the council that past priorities brought forward to the congresswoman’s office have tended to favor infrastructure, public safety and regional benefit. The presenter said projects selected for submission generally require local matching funds and that match rates can vary (examples given included 50/50, 60/40 or 80/20 local-to-federal splits). The resolution does not guarantee funding; it provides candidate projects and elected‑official support so the congresswoman’s office may consider advancing applications in the federal appropriations process.
Councilmember (name not specified in record) moved to approve Resolution 18‑79; another member seconded. The motion passed by voice vote.
