The Southern Edwards Plateau Habitat Conservation Plan Committee convened on July 22, 2025, at 3:30 PM to discuss key budgetary matters and procedural updates. The meeting commenced with a roll call, confirming the presence of all committee members, and noted that no public comments were submitted.

The primary agenda item focused on the consideration and recommendation of the budget for biological services under a new contract with Blair Wildlife Consulting. This contract, approved by the San Antonio City Council on April 3, 2025, allows for an annual expenditure of up to $340,000 for the fiscal year 2025-2026, with a total potential contract value of $2,040,000 over five years. The funding structure includes contributions of $50,000 each from Bexar County and the City of San Antonio, with the remaining $240,000 sourced from the Southern Edwards Plateau Habitat Conservation Plan fund.

Following the staff presentation, the committee moved to approve the budget, with a motion and a second received without opposition. The motion passed unanimously.

The meeting also included a review of the minutes from the previous meeting, which were approved as written after a motion and second were made.

With no further items on the agenda, the meeting concluded promptly at 3:34 PM. The committee's actions reflect ongoing efforts to manage and fund conservation initiatives effectively within the Southern Edwards Plateau region.
