Council tables interlocal drainage agreement with county pending scope and address details
Summary
An interlocal agreement that would allow the county drainage district to use a $300,000 set‑aside to fix neighborhood drainage was discussed; councilors asked for specific work locations and cost limits and voted to table the agreement until the next meeting.
Council discussed a proposed interlocal agreement with the San Patricio County drainage district to address severe neighborhood flooding. The drainage district would bring equipment and crews; the city would pay for materials out of a county set‑aside reportedly containing $300,000. Mayor (speaker 1) said the work would connect a problem neighborhood to a county ditch to reduce flooding.
Council members asked whether the city would be bound to an open‑ended payment and whether materials procurement was constrained to a specific vendor; staff said the work is limited by the money in the drainage district account and that the county would handle equipment and labor. Multiple members requested the interlocal be amended to show exact project addresses and material sources; lacking specific locations, the council moved to table the item for the next agenda.
