Robinson to share cost with Waco on riverbank project; council approves interlocal agreement on consent agenda
Councilmembers discussed a proposed interlocal agreement with the city of Waco to share costs for a segment of the Brazos Riverbank restoration project that is encroaching on infrastructure near Robinson’s intake structure.

An unidentified staff speaker described the riverbank’s historic erosion, referenced aerial photos, and explained that earlier Corps of Engineers estimates and design teams produced a wide range of proposals and costs. The speaker said the parties negotiated responsibility for the section immediately adjacent to Robinson’s infrastructure — a 175‑foot stretch — and stated, "$498,000 will be our share." He also said earlier proposals would have placed a larger share on Robinson (one oral reference indicated a historical figure of about $1,600,000), and another speaker in the exchange mentioned an amount of $197,000; these differing figures were discussed during council conversation and appear in the transcript in different turns of the discussion.

Council members noted that some costs for the overall Corps project have been borne by Waco and that small cities can be asked to shoulder disproportionate shares; the staff speaker said Waco had already paid its portion and the negotiated agreement reduced Robinson’s expected contribution for the particular segment adjacent to Robinson’s intake. The interlocal agreement with the city of Waco for cost sharing of the Brazos Riverbank restoration project was placed on the consent agenda and approved as part of consent agenda items 7–9 after a motion and second; the recorded voice vote in the transcript was "Aye" with no opposition announced.

The transcript does not include the full interlocal agreement text or a line‑item breakdown for the city budget; staff stated the $498,000 figure during the oral presentation and earlier higher historical estimates were described verbally. The council’s approval on the consent agenda authorizes acceptance of the agreement but does not, in the transcript, show an explicit separate appropriation or budget amendment — those financial details would appear in the agreement text or in subsequent budget actions.
