Comal County commissioners are scheduled to consider a proposed flood-warning agreement with New Braunfels on Oct. 29.
The agreement would put up to $553,185 in Texas Water Development Board grant funding toward city warning-system infrastructure, while assigning New Braunfels recurring staffing and some equipment costs. The county’s agenda lists authorization for the county judge to sign the agreement; it does not establish that commissioners have approved it.

The proposed arrangement would connect city warning equipment to the county dashboard and give New Braunfels access to that system. For residents, the practical question is how the two governments would keep warning equipment working after installation, as well as whether they authorize the agreement.
How the work and costs would be divided
Under the proposed agreement, the county would maintain installed city equipment. The city would pay the full annual cost of one traffic-control technician, listed in Exhibit A as $67,555.10, and a one-time share of a bucket truck, crew cab and laptop. The document lists the city’s half of the vehicle costs at $132,647 and its half of the laptop at $1,690.50, for a combined one-time city amount of $134,337.50. These are proposed allocations, not a record of spending already approved under the agreement.
