The Cuero City Council recognized Red Ribbon Week, Oct. 23-31, in its October meeting with a proclamation encouraging residents to support a drug-free environment by wearing red ribbons. The mayor also encouraged residents to participate in the Fall Cleanup this week through Saturday, by bringing metal, batteries, used motor oil and furniture to 1315 E Broadway.
Council approved extending the agreement with the Community Action Committee of Victoria for weatherization assistance for Cuero residents. This agreement, which typically runs from March 1, 2024, to February 28, 2025, will now take effect from the current date to February 28, 2025, due to a delay.
The allocated amount for this assistance program is $10,000. It’s intended to help residents meet minor upgrade requirements to qualify for additional state-funded weatherization grants. Finance Director Connie Hawes noted that if the program requires more than the allotted $10,000, the committee may request additional funds from Council.
