The court approved project agreements with the Bulverde Youth Soccer Association and Canyon Lake Youth Football and authorized the county judge to sign.
The agreements cap the county’s share at $324,775, while the two youth-sports groups contribute $25,725 and cover documented budget shortfalls.
Before the vote, the two agreements carried total project budgets of $259,000 for Jumbo Evans lighting and $91,500 for Hidden Valley bleachers and shade.
How the money splits
The $259,000 lighting budget covers phase two at Jumbo Evans Sports Park; the agreement caps county funding at $239,000, requires BYSA to provide $20,000 and makes BYSA responsible for shortfalls. That structure limits the county’s stated construction commitment while placing overruns on the association.
The $91,500 Hidden Valley budget covers a Field 1 bleacher replacement and shade structures; the agreement caps county funding at $85,775, requires the football group to provide $5,725 and assigns shortfalls to the group. The work would serve the organization’s use of the county-owned park.
The county’s posted lighting quote describes five new poles, 55 LED fixtures and turnkey installation for $259,000 at Jumbo Evans Sports Park. Separate Hidden Valley quotes list $25,237.78 for an eight-row bleacher shipment and $15,750 for a 20-by-30-foot shade structure.
Who owns the improvements
Both agreements say the improvements remain county property and anticipate that Comal County will handle maintenance and repairs under the facilities-use agreements. The participating organizations receive use of the improvements but no ownership interest in them.
