The court voted to submit an $11,000 regional solid-waste grant application (COG FY2026) to support community cleanup activities and reimburse residents or volunteers for disposal costs. Commissioners discussed several possible uses — purchasing a dump trailer, a wood chipper, or a tire shear (the electric tire shear quoted in discussion was roughly $29,000, with only a small grant contribution) — and opted to pursue a community-cleanup program that would centralize drop-off and allow reimbursement for disposal costs.
Staff described the grant application as a relatively small, straightforward package to complete before the submittal deadline; one speaker noted the application requires quarterly tonnage reporting to TCEQ and that the program can cover household items and debris collection. The motion to apply for the grant and to focus on a community cleanup option carried by voice vote.
