Guadalupe County proposes to move $22,002 within its General Fund for AJJ Seguin One rebate payments, leaving the fund’s total unchanged.

Amendment 26-103 identifies both affected lines within General Fund 100, Non Departmental 409. The proposed amendment decreases the consulting line by $22,002 and increases the tax reimbursement and abatement line by $22,002. The county’s budget amendment 26-103 labels the move for first- and second-quarter payments due to AJJ Seguin One LLC under an agreement described as a “381 Sales Tax Abatement.”

Amendment 26-103 proposes equal and opposite $22,002 changes to two General Fund lines.

For county taxpayers, the proposal would change the purpose assigned to $22,002 of existing General Fund spending authority. The fund’s total would stay the same.

What changes in the budget?

One line goes down by exactly what the other goes up. The table shows the proposed movement, not the absolute balance of either line.

Proposed changes to two General Fund lines in FY26 amendment 26-103
Budget line	Before amendment	If approved
Nondepartmental consulting	Existing allocation	Existing allocation less the transfer
Tax reimbursement and abatement	Existing allocation	Existing allocation plus the transfer

The table expresses the amendment’s changes; it does not state either line’s total appropriation.

What does that say about the rebate?

The amendment describes first- and second-quarter payments as due. It identifies the budget line the county proposes to use for them. A budget transfer and a payment are separate events, so the proposal should not be read as a dated record of checks sent to the company.

The proposal also does not, by itself, put a value on what the county receives under the agreement. To evaluate the deal, readers would need the underlying agreement, the quarter-by-quarter rebate calculations and records showing how its performance terms were checked.

What happens next?

Commissioners Court lists amendment 26-103 for consideration at its Oct. 27, 2026 meeting. The Oct. 27 agenda shows the scheduled business; the court’s later outcome record will show whether commissioners approved, changed or deferred this proposed transfer.

The court’s recorded action and subsequent payment records are the next documents that can establish what happened after the proposal.
