Subject:

Discussion and possible action to authorize the Economic Development Department to develop and submit a Fiscal Year 2022 Special Evaluation Assistance for Rural Communities and Households (SEARCH) grant application to the U.S Department of Agriculture - Rural Development for up to $50,000.00 and authorizing the County Judge to act as the Authorized Representative in all matters pertaining to the County’s request for funding. The funding will provide for predevelopment planning costs for provisions of water and sewer services to the Highway 59 Colonias. This application does not require a cash match. All required documents were sent for review through the Economic Development Department and the solicitation is compliant with the Webb County Single Point of Contact (SPOC) procedures.

Issue: The Highway 59 Colonias do not have access to potable water.

Solution: The acquisition of grant funds will offset Webb County predevelopment plan costs.
