Commissioners choose enhanced scope for Bell Street GLO grant work
Summary
Milam County chose to use remaining GLO grant funds to upgrade the Bell Street improvements project (GLO grant 20-065-111-C308) and then deobligate the remainder, with an estimated $60,000–$70,000 returned under the chosen option.
The Milam County Commissioners Court recommended using the remainder of the county's GLO grant (20-065-111-C308) to expand the scope of Bell Street improvements rather than returning the unspent funds immediately. Judge Bill Whitmire moved for 'Option 2' — performing the Bell Street work with upgraded materials and then deobligating the remaining funds — a motion seconded by Commissioner Wesley Payne and carried unanimously.
Meeting minutes record that Option 1 would have paid for Bell Street work and returned roughly $100,000; Option 2 was estimated to return about $60,000–$70,000 once upgrades are completed. The court did not record further line-item engineering details at this meeting; staff follow-up to finalize scope and contract award was indicated in the motion.
