**Governor's Grant KTB Conference Report: Sherry informed the board that the conference
was successful and show the video that was shown at the conference when we were presented
with our award. Sherry stated that we met with TxDOT today and he will design a plan for
FM518 and then will present to the board for approval. We need to get the plans to TxDOT
within a month so we can start to get the wheel rolling. We're looking at fall of 2016 before we
break ground. Kaye, Paul, Susan, Sherry and Todd are on the grant subcommittee. On July 28
at 5:30 we will make the presentation to the subcommittee then present the plans to the board
at 6:30. If approved we'll send to TxDOT. Kaye asked if the subcommittee would have input
into the design, sherry stated yes during that time. Cost wise, trees are very expensive, we
want to follow the rock line and there will be a limit on trees. We’re limited on what we can do
because it’s cost effective to how much we have available. Plan a is fm2351 to Friendswood
link. Hopefully we can go into plan b if funds are available and trying to follow the design on
FM 2351.
**Texas New Mexico Grant: June 30th, we'll find out
