County renews $88,000 contract with Hill Country Fire Coalition to implement mitigation plan
Summary
Kendall County renewed an agreement with the Hill Country Fire Coalition for FY26 at the same annual payment of $88,000 (four quarterly payments) to support the county's fire mitigation plan; commissioners approved the renewal unanimously.
The court moved to renew its agreement with the Hill Country Fire Coalition (HCFC) for fiscal year 2026 at an annual payment of $88,000, payable in four quarterly installments of $22,000. County staff explained the contract allows HCFC to implement the county's fire mitigation plan and that HCFC has secured additional federal grant funding that will extend the coalition’s reach and allow county funds to leverage federal dollars.
Commissioners discussed the timing of payments and the need for HCFC to expend funds ahead of reimbursement in some federal programs; staff said next year they will seek to present the contract earlier to allow advance funding when required. The court approved renewal 5–0.
