Brooks County approves CDBG Community Development Fund application after agenda placement confusion
Summary
The commissioners unanimously approved a resolution to submit a Texas CDBG Community Development Fund application to the Texas Department of Agriculture; the court rescinded an initial vote to correct misplaced materials before re-voting.
Brooks County Commissioners on Dec. 6 approved a resolution authorizing submission of a Texas Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Community Development Fund application to the Texas Department of Agriculture for the 2025–2026 funding round.
County Judge Eric Ramos read the resolution in open court. Commissioner Martin "Marty" Cabrera moved to approve the resolution and Commissioner Eduardo "Eddie" Garza seconded; the court initially recorded a unanimous roll-call approval. Court members then noted that the resolutions had been placed incorrectly in the agenda book and moved to rescind the earlier action to correct the record. After rescinding the earlier motion, the commissioners re-considered the Community Development Fund resolution and approved it again by unanimous roll call (Yes = 5).
The transcript records the procedural correction and the final unanimous vote but does not list specific project details or dollar amounts attached to the Community Development Fund application. The court did not specify project-level allocations at the Dec. 6 special session; staff or a subsequent agenda item may provide project details and required local match amounts when the application materials are developed.
