Kendall County Court Slated $2.68 Million in Flood-Mitigation Grants; Minutes Not Yet Published
Kendall County Commissioners Court had a busy week of special called meetings, with the July 14 agenda listing four Texas Water Development Board flood-mitigation grant resolutions totaling $2.68 million in federal funding and $692,678.08 in required county matches. However, minutes for all four recent meetings have not yet been published, so it is not confirmed which items were actually approved.
July 14 Meeting: Flood Grants, Burn Ban, Guardrail Contract
The July 14 agenda included the most substantive items of the week. Four resolutions were scheduled for consideration:
- **Resolution No. R-20260714-1 (Phase 1)** — $562,152.12 in federal funding, $187,384.04 county match
- **Resolution No. R-20260714-2 (Phase 2)** — $626,250.00 in federal funding, $208,750.00 county match

- **Resolution No. R-20260714-4 (Phase 4)** — $900,000.00 in federal funding, $100,000.00 county match
The agenda also listed an order prohibiting outdoor burning for up to ninety days in unincorporated areas (Order #O-20260714-1), a waiver of final plat fees, and a guardrail repair contract award of $76,535. A parking-garage feasibility study was also on the agenda, along with routine reports and accounts payable claims.
Because only the agenda is available and minutes have not been published, the outcome of each item is not yet confirmed.
Other Recent Meetings: Procedural Only
Three other special called meetings — July 13, July 15, and July 16 — contained only procedural boilerplate regarding meeting logistics, public participation, and accessibility. No specific policy decisions or contracts were listed on those agendas.
The July 15 agenda noted that public comment would be limited to three minutes per speaker with a required participation form, and that virtual attendance was available via Zoom.
