Littlefield council authorizes TPWD Local Parks grant application, selects Jacob & Martin for engineering
Summary
The City Council unanimously approved participation in the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Local Parks Fund grant program, designated the city manager as the authorized representative, and selected Jacob & Martin as the engineering firm for the proposed 2027 park project.
Mayor Eric Turpen opened a required public hearing on Littlefield’s application to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) for a 2027 Local Parks Fund grant and closed it after no citizens spoke. City Manager Ray Resendez said the hearing "was a required part of the grant application process."
The council then passed Resolution No. 2026-0623-1 authorizing the City of Littlefield to participate in the TPWD Local Park Grant Program and Resolution No. 2026-0623-2 designating the City Manager as the city’s authorized representative for the application. "City Manager Ray Resendez informed the Council that the resolution authorizes the City of Littlefield to participate in the Local Park Grant Program," the minutes state.
Council considered competing engineering proposals for the grant-funded project. After "evaluating qualifications, references, project experience, and local availability," a committee recommended selecting Jacob & Martin. Council Member Eric Saenz presented the committee’s recommendation and the council approved Jacob & Martin as the engineering firm for the grant project by unanimous motion.
Next steps noted in the meeting record include staff proceeding with application submittal and coordinating procurement and engineering tasks if the grant is awarded. The minutes do not specify project scope, total estimated cost, or application match requirements.
