Summary
In a brief recap, Fort Bend County announced acceptance of an $18,500 grant for environmental health, engagement of disclosure counsel for 2025 bonds, several appointments, a temporary road closure starting July 7, an EMS training partnership, and support for a summer camp grant.
Fort Bend County Judge KP Georgi summarized additional items approved or announced May 27, including a small federal grant, appointments, counsel engagement for a bond issuance, a temporary road closure and youth programming support.
The court accepted an $18,500 award from the National Environmental Health Association and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to support the Environmental Health Division’s retail food safety work; Georgi said the funding requires no local match (agenda item 13b).
The court engaged Cantu Hayden Montoya LLP as disclosure counsel for planned senior-lien toll road revenue and refunding bonds, series 2025, described by the judge as a step toward transparent infrastructure investment (item 23a). The recap did not include the engagement contract or fee schedule.
Appointments included Angela Segura to a four-year term on Fort Bend County's Lehi Improvement District Number 17 Board (item 22a) and the naming of Greg Barbst and Christina Harnsell as county representatives to the Unified Area Coordination Committee of the Houston-Galveston Area Council (item 31); the recording’s wording about term years for those representatives was unclear.
The court approved a temporary road closure for Austin Colony Drive in Pecan Grove Plantation beginning July 7, 2025, to allow construction (item 27b). The court also announced a partnership with Alvin Community College to provide real-world EMS course experience under the guidance of Fort Bend County paramedics (item 30B).
Finally, Georgi said the court approved support for an ASTHOS Foundation Summer Camp grant at the South Post Oak Baseball Complex to provide youth activities this summer (item 33). The recap did not include budgets, contract details, or vote tallies for these actions.
