Summary

Following a presentation from Sen. Adam Hinojosa’s district liaison, the court unanimously approved a resolution to join the Coastal Bend Water Alliance to coordinate regional water planning; the alliance will hold its first meeting in January.

Bee County commissioners voted unanimously to adopt a resolution committing the county to the Coastal Bend Water Alliance, a regional convening aimed at giving smaller jurisdictions a seat at planning and funding discussions related to water supply.

Chad McGill, district liaison for state Sen. Adam Hinojosa, told the court the alliance aims to gather decision makers from counties, municipalities, water districts and other public entities to coordinate regional water projects and funding access. McGill described the public utility agency (PUA) framework enabled by SB 1169 and said the alliance will not be asking for county staff or funding at present; the first meeting is expected in January with more details to be posted online in early December.

Commissioners discussed inviting municipal utility districts and local water providers to participate; McGill welcomed those contacts and said Bee County could host alliance meetings in the future. The court approved the resolution without exception.
