El Campo staff reports show $22 million in grants and mayor reaffirms H‑GAC representation
Summary
Staff presented fourth-quarter departmental and capital project reports, noting a $28 million operating budget, $22 million secured in grants and $35 million in active capital projects; the mayor named council representation to the Houston-Galveston Area Council.
City staff presented quarterly reports to the El Campo City Council on Oct. 27, noting the packet included fourth-quarter departmental and capital-project summaries but excluded audited financial statements because audit adjustments can change final numbers.
Staff stated the city's annual operating budget for the year is $28,000,000, that the city has secured $22,000,000 in grants and that there are $35,000,000 in active capital projects. Staff said the $22 million in grant funding reduces the amount required from local taxpayers to complete capital projects. A minor typographical correction to the police calls-for-service figure was provided as an updated departmental report at the dais.
The mayor also announced appointments to the Houston-Galveston Area Council (H‑GAC) board: the current representative remains in place and Blake was named as alternate. Council thanked the city's boards and commissions; staff said quarterly reports from citizen boards will continue to be provided to council.
