Discuss, consider, and take appropriate action to approve Constable Pct. 3 office to apply for a Capital Area of Governments’ Solid Waste Program grant.

CAPCOG uses state funds provided by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) generated from landfill tipping fees to support eligible solid waste projects within the region that help implement the regional solid waste management plan. The CAPCOG Solid Waste Program grants are estimated to provide $227,000 in pass-through funding to communities in its 10-county region for the 2026 and 2027 fiscal years to support management of municipal solid waste. Project award amounts will range between $10,000 and $40,000. This is a no-match grant, meaning Williamson County will not have to match any funds that may be awarded, that will allow our office to purchase equipment that will assist in our continuing effort to educate the public and enforce environmental laws.
