A proposed Comal County amendment would replace the grant’s work plan and budget, directing the unchanged $195,088 award to $140,716 in personnel and $54,372 in fringe benefits through Nov. 30, 2027.
The revision would keep federal reimbursement available for eligible Comal County public-health hiring, retention, training and workforce systems; it would not add money to the grant.
The personnel and fringe-benefit categories total the full award. The revised budget lists travel, equipment, supplies, contractual costs, other costs and indirect costs at zero.
The replacement work plan permits recruiting and hiring public-health personnel, strengthening retention incentives, supporting employee well-being, training workers and improving workforce planning or data systems. It requires grant activities to be completed by the November 2027 deadline.
Comal County would seek reimbursement monthly for eligible documented costs. The contract also requires financial-status reports twice each calendar year, creating recurring records that can show how the county uses the workforce award over time.
