Comal County authorizes $1.19 million FLAP grant application for floating docks at county boat ramps
Summary
The commissioners authorized filing a $1,190,000 grant application to the U.S. Department of Transportation under the Texas Federal Lands Access Program to install floating docks and concrete abutments at four county boat ramps to improve lake access when water levels return.
Comal County Commissioners authorized staff to submit a $1,190,000 grant application through the Texas Federal Lands Access Program (FLAP) to install floating docks and abutments at four county boat ramps.
County staff explained the application is a re‑submission of an earlier effort and would add floating docks at four additional ramps. Staff described a typical installation: a concrete walkway and abutment leading to a floating dock to preserve access when lake levels fluctuate. As staff put it, "It's to install floating docks at 4 of our boat ramps," and commissioners voted to approve the application.
Why it matters: The docks are intended to improve public access and safety at boat ramps that can become difficult to use with fluctuating water levels. The county previously applied for the program and will reapply after not receiving funding last cycle. The court approved the motion to submit the grant application; the motion carried by voice vote.
