County accepts FY2026 Homeland Security grant to buy enhanced night-vision gear
Summary
Tom Green County accepted FY 2026 Homeland Security grant number 5341201 (SRT equipment) to purchase enhanced night-vision equipment and established a budget; staff said the award had been delayed from 2025 and funding just arrived.
County staff asked the court to accept FY 2026 Homeland Security grant number 5341201, titled SRT Equipment Homeland Security Grant, to fund enhanced night-vision equipment for tactical teams. They said the grant application was submitted in January 2025 and that award timing was delayed by litigation elsewhere; the funding arrived recently and the court approved establishing a budget to begin spending the award.
A staff member summarized the timeline: "This grant was applied for in January '25... the funding just came through week before last." Commissioners moved and seconded acceptance of the grant and approved the corresponding budget amendment by voice vote; staff will proceed with procurement per grant rules.
