Issue: Webb County Commissioners Court has authorized the Economic Development Director to apply for an Outdoor Park & Facility Grant with the Texas Department of Parks and Wildlife to supplement the current bond series funds for this project.

Solution: Approve rescinding the award as recommended. Future grant funds will match current project budget of $130,000.00 dollar for dollar.
