New Health Request Would Add $44,854 to Comal County Grant Plan

The displayed budget summary totals $101,089 in direct costs: $67,186 for personnel, $25,403 for fringe benefits, $6,500 for travel and $2,000 for supplies. The personnel sheet identifies one full-time adult immunization coordinator with an estimated monthly wage of $5,599 for 12 months.

Training and conference travel account for the proposed travel budget. The form lists CPR and basic-life-support instructor certification in San Antonio, the National Homeland Security Conference, a regional advisory council symposium in Galveston and state-announced immunization training in Austin.

The supplies request would cover paper for educational materials and general office items used for public-health education. The form connects those materials to information about county health services and vaccine-preventable diseases, placing resident outreach alongside the proposed coordinator position and training expenses.

Commissioners Court is scheduled to consider the request at 8:30 a.m. Sept. 3 at 100 Main Plaza. The item remains a proposal until the court acts; the meeting agenda gives residents the time and location and says public comments are limited to three minutes per person.

The recorded action after the meeting will show whether the request was approved, changed or deferred. Residents can inspect the county’s grant form for the proposed position, cost categories, training destinations and outreach plan, then use the posted meeting notice to follow the court’s Sept. 3 action and public-comment rules.
