Council hears update on TxDOT Transportation Alternatives grants; local match a concern

City of Alto City Council · January 27, 2025

Summary

Councilman Luke Johnson updated the Jan. 27 meeting on two TxDOT Transportation Alternatives grants, saying one is fully reimbursable while the other requires a 20% local match; council expressed concern about floating upfront funds and took no action.

Councilman Luke Johnson briefed the City of Alto on two TxDOT Transportation Alternatives grant opportunities during the regular meeting on Jan. 27. He said the grants are reimbursement-based: one grant would be 100% reimbursed, while the other would require the city to provide a 20% match; Communities Unlimited was mentioned as a possible contributor toward that match. No action was taken on the item.

Council members discussed whether the city could or should front the required match given other projects under way. Johnson said there will be future opportunities and that preliminary steps already taken would position Alto to pursue funding later if it chooses. The minutes do not list dollar amounts, timelines, or a formal commitment of local funds.
