Department:	Water Utilities

Subject:

Discussion and possible action to approve 2022 TxCDBG Colonia Fund: Planning and Needs Assessment-Interlocal Cooperation Contract Between Zapata County and Webb County and Resolution required by Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA). Zapata County and Webb County agree to enter into this Interlocal Cooperation Contract as authorized by Texas Government Code, Chapter 791 (Interlocal Cooperation Act) and Texas Local Government Code, Chapter 262; and authorizing the County Judge to sign all relevant documents. This action will not have an impact to the General Fund. All required documents were sent for review to the Economic Development and the solicitation is compliant with the Webb County Single Point of Contact (SPOC) procedures.

Issue: The Texas Secretary of State’s Office of Colonia Initiatives (OCI) has been dissolved and reports produced by the office in 2014 may no longer reflect the current needs of colonia communities.

Solution: Complete a new needs assessment of colonia communities to remain compliant with federal requirements in partnership between Zapata County and Webb County.

Result: The newly completed needs assessment will form the basis of the Colonia fund with all projects funded though the colonia set-aside expected to be supported by the 2022 planning document or subsequent updates.
