Coryell County staff report roughly $980,000 FEMA reimbursement and CDBG‑MIT engineering progress
Summary
County staff told the court that a DR 4781 FEMA reimbursement of about $980,000 is expected to arrive soon, with additional FEMA packages possible; CDBG‑MIT projects are at 60% engineering and slated for bidding next summer. Commissioners encouraged appreciation for staff work on grant closeouts.
Staff told the Coryell County Commissioners Court that the county expects a large reimbursement tied to federal disaster recovery work and that community development mitigation (CDBG‑MIT) projects are advancing through engineering reviews.
Mister Latham said staff estimates "roughly around $980,000 that moved over in" the DR 4781 reimbursement process and that the county expected the funds to be wired in the coming weeks. County officials said that number represents the county’s reimbursement portion and that other FEMA packages or remaining project work could add several hundred thousand dollars depending on project scope and engineering outcomes.
On CDBG‑MIT, staff reported environmental reviews were complete for four project sites and that engineering is targeted to be 60% complete in January, with bids advertised in the June–July timeframe and construction beginning in fiscal year 2027. The judge asked commissioners to consider scheduling a workshop in early January to finalize plans and advised that staff would coordinate dates with MRB, the engineering firm working on hazard mitigation planning.
Commissioners praised Desiree and grant staff for extensive closeout work and asked staff to follow up with more precise closing dates and any required matching or mitigation obligations.
