County staff reviewed the list of outside entities that receive county support and highlighted a mix of life-safety, educational and economic-development partners. Commissioners marked many entities green (retain funding), categorized several as yellow (candidates for percentage cuts) and debated how deeply to reduce non-life-safety grants.
The court discussed the City of Waco's 1978 library interlocal and staff recommended updating the contract to reflect current digital services. Commissioners proposed matching the city's contribution for the Greater Waco Sports Commission at $80,000 and floated percentage cuts of 10% to 25% for selected yellow-group entities; a 25% cut figure was discussed as a possible target for some items. Staff estimated the set of reductions could save roughly $240,796 after selected cuts.
