Summary

To streamline grant administration, commissioners granted signing authority to Commissioner Rick Bacon for a flood-siren grant and an emergency watershed grant, allowing quicker execution of documents and reimbursements under Texas Water Board processes.

The court voted to grant Commissioner Rick Bacon signatory authority for a flood-siren grant and an emergency watershed grant to prevent delays in reimbursements and to ensure timely signatures for grant documents. The action was prompted by Texas Water Board requirements that a letter of authorization accompany certain signatures.

A commissioner said staff had checked with the Texas Water Board and that an authorization letter would be necessary; the court moved and seconded to grant the signatory authority and approved the motion by voice vote. Commissioners said the change is intended to speed reimbursements and keep grant work on schedule.
