Crockett council approves continued membership in Texas 21 but limits travel to required events
Summary
Council voted to continue the city’s $2,500 annual membership in the Texas 21 regional corridor program, favoring virtual participation and limiting travel to essential sessions after debate about local priorities and travel costs.
The City of Crockett voted to maintain membership in the Texas 21 (Tex21) corridor advocacy program and to prioritize virtual participation while attending only required or high‑value in‑person meetings.
Staff explained Tex21’s mission to coordinate regional advocacy for projects such as the US‑287 corridor and reported the city had paid one year’s dues from the travel and training budget to evaluate benefits. The membership fee for a city of Crockett’s size was described as $2,500 per year. After discussion over likely travel costs and uncertain near‑term impact for Crockett, council approved continuing the dues, attending virtual meetings when practical and sending delegates to in‑person meetings only as necessary.
Council also nominated the mayor (Vincent) and at least one council alternate to represent the city at Tex21 meetings. Staff will register the delegates and report meeting outcomes and any travel expenses back to council.
