Commissioners table CR 406 cost-sharing request after foreman cites budget constraints
Summary
Property owners asked Brooks County to cover half of an estimated $40,000 repair to County Road 406. Road and Bridge Foreman David Guerra said he had not been consulted and the Road and Bridge budget is 79% spent; the court tabled the request to the next meeting.
Property owners requested that Brooks County share costs to complete repairs to County Road (CR) 406, estimating the project at $40,000 and asking the county to pay half. The request was discussed under agenda item 14.
David Guerra, Road and Bridge Foreman, told the court he had not been consulted about the proposed repair collaboration and expressed concern about where funds would come from given other obligations, including payouts tied to the CTIF grant. County Auditor Higinio Garcia Jr. said the Road and Bridge budget had used 79% of its allocation. Citing budget uncertainty, Commissioner Aaron Trevino moved to table the item to the next meeting; the motion, seconded by Eduardo "Eddie" Garza, passed unanimously.
No agreement on cost-sharing or a funding source was recorded; the item remains tabled for future consideration and staff follow-up. The discussion identified both an estimated total cost ($40,000) and a short-term funding constraint (79% of the Road and Bridge budget already expended).
