Court approves revised resolution to apply for $5 million GLO disaster-recovery grant for shelter
Summary
Commissioners approved a revised resolution authorizing a $5,000,000 application to the Texas General Land Office under the LCPDR program to build a proposed shelter in Point Blank; members discussed match requirements and budget implications.
San Jacinto County commissioners approved a revised resolution authorizing submission of an application to the Texas General Land Office's Local Competition Disaster Recovery (LCPDR) program requesting $5,000,000 for a proposed shelter (Point Blank). Commissioners debated whether the county should apply for the full $5 million even though the anticipated project may cost roughly $2.5 million and expressed concern about percentage-based fees and potential county match obligations.
"Go ahead and do the application for the $5,000,000," the presiding judge said after discussion of site options and grant mechanics; the motion to approve the revised resolution carried unanimously, 5'0. Commissioners asked staff to confirm allowable match sources and to coordinate with GLO and local congressional staff for potential FEMA waivers and site issues prior to committing funds.
