Bertram approves up to $2,500 EDC landscaping grant for Texas Exit Wines
Summary
The council authorized Resolution 610-051226 directing the Bertram Economic Development Corporation to reimburse Texas Exit Wines up to $2,500 for landscaping costs (applicant requested up to $8,000 but receipts limited the EDC reimbursement).
The Bertram City Council approved Resolution No. 610-051226, authorizing the Bertram Economic Development Corporation to provide a landscaping reimbursement to Texas Exit Wines LLC of up to $2,500.
Council discussed a request originally seeking $8,000 for landscaping but the EDC and applicant agreed that reimbursement would be limited to receipts submitted and capped at $2,500; the applicant must remain in business for one year to receive the funds. A council member noted they had seen the EDC presentation in advance and explained the business experienced landscaping damage due to heavy rain, prompting a request for reimbursement rather than the more typical sign grant.
“...as long as they turn in receipts for up to $2,500 and stay in business for a year,” an applicant representative said during the discussion. Council member Betty Predmore moved to approve Resolution 610-051226; the motion was seconded and carried.
