Lavaca County approves TxCDBG grant contracts; acknowledges settlement and appraisal refunds
Summary
The commissioners approved contract agreements with Grant Works and Southwest Engineers for TxCDBG Contract CDV25-0201, and acknowledged Tobacco Settlement Distribution proceeds (to fund 198-10000) and a 2025 Appraisal District audit refund; motions carried unanimously.
Lavaca County Commissioners on May 11 approved two contracts tied to the county's TxCDBG project CDV25-0201: a Grant Administration Services Contract with Grant Works and a Grant Engineering Services Contract with Southwest Engineers.
Commissioner Kenny W. Siegel moved to approve the Grant Works contract; Commissioner Dennis W. Kocian seconded. The motion carried unanimously and was recorded as Court Order: 19999. Commissioner Wayne Faircloth moved to approve the engineering contract with Southwest Engineers; Commissioner Edward Pustka seconded, and the motion passed unanimously (Court Order: 20000). Original documentation was returned to the judge's office and copies placed on file, per the record.
Separately, the court acknowledged receipt of 2026 Tobacco Settlement Distribution Program proceeds and directed the funds to the Tobacco Settlement Fund (198-10000) by unanimous acknowledgement recorded as Court Order: 19994. The court also acknowledged a 2025 Appraisal District financial audit refund to Lavaca County (Court Order: 19995).
What this means: approvals for the TxCDBG contracts move the county forward on an identified community development block grant project (CDV25-0201). The transcript does not include the contract dollar amounts or a timeline for project implementation; those details are in contract files on record with the judge's office.
