Summary
County staff presented Phase I environmental site assessment reports from AD Environmental Services for two tracts under consideration: a 10-acre site for a mental health inpatient facility and a 20-acre tract for a Hazard Mitigation Grant Program regional safe room; the court received the reports for the record.
Victoria County Commissioners Court received Phase I environmental site assessment reports from AD Environmental Services for two tracts being considered for county projects: a roughly 10-acre tract for a proposed mental health inpatient facility and a roughly 20-acre tract for a regional emergency operations/HMGP community safe room.
County staff described the items as Phase I reports for the two properties and submitted them for the record; the court voted to receive the reports with no recorded opposition.
Why it matters: Phase I assessments are standard preliminary environmental due-diligence for property acquisition and development and inform whether further study (Phase II) or mitigation is required before construction. The two tracts were identified by staff as the mental health hospital site (10-acre) and the regional emergency operations/safe room site (20-acre).
Court context: This action was recorded as "receive for the record" and did not include acceptance of property acquisition nor a decision on construction. Further steps would depend on the content of the assessments and any recommended follow-up actions, which were not discussed in detail at this meeting.
