Burton authorizes mayor to pursue $5 million State water infrastructure grant for 'Fred Line'
Summary
Council approved Resolution R20260310A authorizing the mayor to act as the city's representative on a $5 million State of Texas Water Supply & Infrastructure Grant application for the 'Fred Line' water system improvements.
The Burton City Council on March 10 approved Resolution R20260310A, authorizing Mayor Karen Buck to act as the city’s executive officer and authorized representative in matters related to the State of Texas 2026 Water Supply & Infrastructure Grant. The resolution enables the city to proceed with an application for a $5 million grant to support improvements to the local water line described in council materials as the 'Fred Line.'
Councilmember Macey Tidwell moved to approve the resolution and Councilmember Paul McLaughlin seconded; the minutes record the motion passed. Council materials state the mayor is working with BEFCO Engineering and Langford Grant Management to prepare the application and that approval allows staff to file when the program opens.
The resolution notes that all funds must be used in accordance with applicable federal, state and programmatic requirements including procurement and environmental review. The action is preparatory: approval authorizes application submission but does not itself commit local matching funds beyond standard grant requirements.
