Staff Report & Agenda Item Details

Discussion and possible action to authorize the submission of a request to the Office of the Governor for a six-month no-cost extension for the Intelligence and Information Equipment for Advanced Border Protection and SWAT Operations Grant #5453101, extending the grant period through March 31, 2027 , to allow for the completion of all approved project objectives; authorizing the Webb County Judge to execute all relevant documents associated with the extension request; and any other matters incident thereto. This request will have no impact on the General Fund. All required documents have been reviewed by the Economic Development Department and the request is in compliance with Webb County Single Point of Contact (SPOC) procedures. [Requested by Martin Cuellar, Webb County Sheriff; Grant Fund #2740] Issue: Webb County was notified of the grant award in late August 2026, while the original grant period was scheduled to end on September 30, 2026. This significantly shortened the timeframe available to complete procurement and carry out the approved grant-funded activities. Additional time is therefore needed to complete the project, finalize expenditures, and satisfy all programmatic and financial requirements. Solution: Authorize Webb County to submit a six-month no-cost extension request to the Office of the Governor, extending the grant period through March 31, 2027, without increasing the grant award or changing the approved scope of work. Result: Approval of the extension will provide Webb County and the Sheriff’s Office additional time to complete outstanding grant-funded activities, finalize expenditures, and successfully fulfill the approved project objectives and closeout requirements.
