Brooks County approves TxDOT FY2026 ramp grant participation agreement; meeting adjourns
Summary
The Brooks County Commissioners' Court unanimously approved a Texas Department of Transportation FY2026 airport ramp grant participation agreement — described by the county auditor as a 90% reimbursement — and adjourned after a brief budget workshop and public comment on tire disposal.
Brooks County Commissioners' Court voted unanimously Aug. 25 to approve a Texas Department of Transportation Airport FY2026 ramp grant participation agreement, the court record shows. County Auditor Higinio Garcia Jr. told the court the award would operate as a 90% reimbursement grant.
The vote came after Garcia presented the agreement and commissioners discussed participation. Commissioner Eduardo "Eddie" Garza moved to approve the agreement; Commissioner Nora Salinas seconded. The motion passed on a unanimous roll call vote: Garza, Salinas and County Judge Eric Ramos recorded "yes." Garcia characterized the funding as "a 90% reimbursement grant."
The court also moved to adjourn at 9:15 a.m.; Garza moved to adjourn, Salinas seconded and the motion passed by unanimous roll call.
The approval directs staff to proceed with the TxDOT participation agreement; the court record does not specify contract execution dates, project scope details, or the county department charged with implementation. The transcript lists the Texas Department of Transportation Airport FY2026 Ramp Grant as the funding source but does not include the dollar amount or a project timeline.
The meeting included a brief budget workshop and a public comment about tire disposal but contained no recorded votes on budget items or personnel actions in open session.
