Summary
The Hallsville City Council unanimously approved Resolution 2024‑02 on June 18, 2024, to select GrantWorks to apply for and manage a Community Development Block Grant–Mitigation (CDBG‑MIT) award of about $300,000 to help update building codes and flood damage prevention ordinances.
On June 18, 2024, the Hallsville City Council unanimously approved Resolution 2024‑02 to select GrantWorks as the soliciting, planning and management service provider for a Community Development Block Grant–Mitigation (CDBG‑MIT) Resilient Communities Program application through the Texas General Land Office.
The program — described in the resolution as intended to support “modern and resilient building codes and flood damage prevention ordinances” — carries an estimated award of approximately $300,000. Alderman Guy Walker moved to approve GrantWorks; Alderman Brant Cain seconded the motion, which carried unanimously with the five council members present voting in favor.
City officials said the consultant will assist the city with grant solicitation and with development, adoption and implementation steps for updated codes and ordinances if the award is received. The resolution is recorded as Resolution 2024‑02; the council did not record a formal amendment or conditions to the selection during the discussion.
The action occurs as Hallsville continues to address infrastructure needs tied to growth. Council members and staff did not set a subsequent public hearing or adoption date for code changes during the meeting; staff will proceed with the procurement and grant‑application steps outlined in the resolution.
