Willacy County accepts $29,000 charitable contribution from East Foundation
Summary
The county accepted a $29,000 charitable contribution from the East Foundation and authorized distribution to local taxing entities; staff noted prior distribution formula issues that have been clarified.
Commissioners on Aug. 13 accepted a $29,000 charitable contribution from the East Foundation and authorized staff to distribute the funds to appropriate local taxing jurisdictions.
Court discussion noted the donation is separate from pilot programs and resembles payments made in lieu of taxes. "They pay this, in in lieu of taxes," a county staff member said while describing the nature of the donation and the need to confirm distribution mechanics. Staff explained there were two checks in the packet and that the court could accept the one present and process the other separately when available.
The court approved accepting the $29,000 and directed county staff to calculate and authorize the pro rata distribution to taxing entities consistent with prior practice and the donor’s property interest.
