Guadalupe County commissioners will consider adding $57,805 in federal grant revenue and the same amount in capital spending for an emergency management generator and other supplies.
The proposed budget amendment would establish a fiscal 2027 spending line for equipment under the FEMA State Homeland Security Program.

For Guadalupe County residents, the proposal would put federal grant money into the county budget for emergency management equipment. The amendment lists “Emergency Management Support Project - Generator and Other Supplies” as the capital outlay purpose. It does not, by itself, establish that the equipment has been purchased or placed in service.
The amendment identifies Grant No. 5015401 and says Commissioners Court approved it on Oct. 29, 2024. Tuesday’s proposal concerns the fiscal 2027 budget for that grant, rather than a new grant award. It lists equal amounts of intergovernmental federal funding and capital outlay.
The amendment does not specify a generator location, an equipment list or the area the equipment would serve. Those details matter for understanding which county services might benefit. Commissioners are scheduled to consider amendment 27-8 at their 10 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 27, meeting. Residents can inspect the figures in the amendment and find the proposal under action item 8P in the county’s agenda; the court’s action will establish what happens next.
