The Kendall County Commissioners’ Court on July 14 approved acceptance of four Fiscal Year 2023 Flood Mitigation Assistance grants from the Texas Water Development Board covering south, north, central and west watershed project scoping. The federal awards total $2,678,034.24; required county contributions raise the combined project budgets to approximately $3,360,712.32.
Resolutions R-20260714-1 through R-20260714-4 were approved on motions by County Judge Shane Stolarczyk and carried unanimously.

County staff presented the items as project scoping and FEMA-aligned mitigation work; the court’s approvals authorize the County Judge to accept the grants and obligate the required county contributions. No dissenting votes were recorded on these items. The next procedural steps are grant acceptance paperwork and follow-up budgeting to reflect the local matches in county accounts.
