City approves budget of
$2.9-million for 2020-21
How does a successful school su-perintendent make his way from the Austin area to the small town of Pa-lacios in the midst of a pandemic, the likes of which hasn’t been seen in this country for 100 years?
“It’s because of this mess, to be honest,” stated Palacios ISD’s new-ly hired superintendent Dr. William (Bill) Chapman. “You look at this stuff going on around you, and not knowing what this pandemic’s bring-ing you, and maybe it’s time for a change, maybe it’s time to go to the coast.”
Bill grew up in Corpus Christi, and after he and his wife Deanna got mar-ried in the early 2000s, they moved
to the North Houston area, and more recently, Jarrell ISD, near Austin. “Corpus is the biggest small town in the world. They don’t know they’re not a small town,” laughed Chapman. “I promised her, at some point in time, I’m getting back to the coast.” Twenty years later, that goal has been met. “The feel, the smell, the wind, you just don’t get anywhere else,” he said. “We always said we’re going to go back to the coast.”
“Fast forward to where we were during the pandemic, I had a lot of success at the school I was at for eight years. It was the longest job I’ve had in my life, which is odd in this indus-try,” said Chapman. Dr. Chapman was the Superintendent at Jarrell ISD from 2012 until his move to Palacios. Prior to that, he was High School
Principal and then Assistant Superin-tendent at Coldspring-Oakhurst Con-solidated ISD from 2008 - 2012.
Now that he has taken the helm at PISD, Dr. Chapman’s stated goal is, “The bottom line is, I want all of our kids to have choices and opportuni-ties to do what it is they wish to do when they leave this place.”
Dr. Chapman, giving his assess-ment of his new situation at PISD stated, “I’m glad to be here. I’ve been very impressed with our staff. Our staff is fantastic, they are hard working people. Our kids are great. It is a fantastic community full of hard working people, that’s obvi-ous, there’s no doubt about that. I’m very proud of the work of our staff.
In a special called meet-ing last week, the Palacios City Council approved its $2.913-million budget for the fiscal year 2020-21 and after a round of discussion, set the ad valorem tax rate for the year on a split vote by the Council.
Things were cut and dry on the approval of the budget.
City Treasurer Tammy McDonald noted comments from the budget hearings were taken into consider-ation.
“ I cut (the budget) by as much as I could cut it,” she added.
The Palacios Police Dept. tops the City’s gen-eral fund expenditures with $1,078,750 allocated to mu-nicipal law enforcement, followed by Administration, where $686,500 are allocat-ed.
The budget was accepted as presented on a unanimous vote of the Council, minus the absent councilwoman Mary Crocker.
Tax RateThings weren’t quite so
smooth when proposed ad valorem tax rate came up.
The proposed rate of 0.85351 on $100 per valua-tion would raise the taxes on a $100,000 home by $1.25.
Council members Donna Schulman and Mike Dotson voiced opposition to the pro-
The upper Texas Gulf Coast was brac-ing for impact from Tropical Storm Beta as Matagorda Bay - including Palacios - were forecast to a near direct hit late on Monday (Sept. 21) or early Tuesday (Sept. 22).
Tropical Storm Beta is the 23rd named storm of the 2020 Atlantic hurri-cane season having formed on Sept. 18, and should it make landfall, would be the ninth system to make landfall in the United States this year. The system was named for the second letter of the Greek
alphabet, after the formation in the At-lantic of storms Wilfred and Alpha.
While TS Beta isn’t packing a neces-sarily heavy punch, what experts warn of were wind-driven high storm surge and massive amounts of rainfall, which in some places is estimated to reach 10-20 inches along the coast and 8-15 inches inland.
Matagorda County officials recom-mended a voluntary evacuation of Sar-gent, Matagorda and the waterfront ar-eas of Palacios on last Saturday. (Sept. 19). On the same day, the National Weather Service issued a coastal flood watch. On Sunday a Storm Surge Warn-
ing from Port Aransas to Rockefeller Wildlife Refuge in Louisiana was is-sued, a Tropical Storm Warning from Port Aransas to Morgan City, LA. A Tropical Storm Warning means that tropical storm conditions are expected somewhere within the warning area within 36 hours.
On the forecast track, the center of Beta will continue to move toward the coast of Texas and will likely move in-land by Monday night, and remain close to the coast of southeastern Texas on Tuesday.
On Sunday (Sept. 20) the high tides

Hunt ongoing for ECMS threat makersEL CAMPO: El Campo police are still hunting for the
creator of a threatening social media post targeting the middle school, which was shared numerous times online Tuesday. Police have not found any evidence to suggest El Campo Middle School was ever in actual danger. The post showed a person, but not their face, clenching a handgun with a caption warning people to stay away from ECMS on Wednesday. Police have since determined the photograph was a pre-existing social media image, taken in Alice, and the threatening text was added later. - El Campo Leader-News
Gas rig spewing offshorePORT ARANSAS: Emergency workers were respond-
ing to reports that a natural gas rig off North Padre Island was spewing well condensate on the morning of Sept. 1. The apparent leak could be seen from shore, shooting out of a part of the rig that was above the water surface. Port Aransas City Manager Dave Parsons reported that the rig was spewing well condensate but that it wasn’t clear what specific materials might have been entering Gulf waters. The Texas General Land Office, Texas Railroad Commis-sion on Environmental Quality and Corpus Christi Fire Department “are all engaged,” Parsons said. - Port Aran-sas South Jetty
Alleged Alvin St. killer caughtEL CAMPO: A single shot fired on Alvin St. Monday
afternoon killed one, and police say an El Campo man has confessed to the crime. Brandon Patrick Shimek, 26, was arrested at 2:25 a.m. on Tuesday on a single count of murder. Shimek has prior arrests for theft in Matago-rda County and having a prohibited weapon in Wharton County. The victim was 32-year-old Justin Wayne Lipins-ki who lived with his grandparents. His grandfather, Wal-ter Lipinski said he was the one who found his grandson lying on the driveway. “He was working on a pickup, the exhaust manifold,” Lipinski said, adding “We were in the house. I didn’t hear an argument. I didn’t hear a scuffle. I didn’t hear nothing.” Dead of a single gunshot to the head, there was nothing El Campo EMS could do to help Justin Lipinski. ECPD was assisted in the investigation by the Texas Rangers and Wharton County Sheriff’s Of-fice. There were no witnesses to the crime as far as po-lice know. The investigation led them to Shimek. Police won’t comment as to why. Lipinski said he doesn’t know if his grandson knew him. Stanphill would not comment on whether he believed Shimek acted alone. - El Campo Leader-News

They have really jumped in with both feet to attack this situation we’re in. We don’t have a choice about what’s in front of us, but they are fighting it each and every day and doing the best they can for our kids, and that’s what I ask for every time, is that we do what we can for our kids.”
Following the departure
of former superintendent Dr. Missy Glenn during the pan-demic, it was hard to imag-ine that a qualified candidate would be willing to move to the area and take the super-intendent position, but the stars aligned and the timing was right to create a win/win for PISD and Dr.Bill and Deanna Chapman.
posed rate, which is the same as last year’s rate but would generate nearly an additional $85,000.
“In light of the hardships this year, I am not comfort-able accepting the (proposed) .85351 rate. I feel it needs to be the no-new revenue rate of .81587,” remarked Coun-cilwoman Donna Schulman. “I feel we could squeeze the budget throughout the year.”
A motion was called by Schulman and seconded by Dotson, to approve the no-new revenue rate instead of the proposed, but came up short on the vote, 3-2, with Councilman Johnny Tran ab-staining
Another motion was called for the approval of the ad va-lorem tax rate of 0.85351 as presented was approved on a split 4-2 vote, with Schulman and Dotson against.
GLO Coastal Resilience Program
McDonald presented an new grant opportunity from the GLO for the CDBG-MIT Coastal Resilience Program in the amount of $4.4-million no-match grant to construct a rock-seal breakwater in specific areas from 50-100’ feet from shore to help slow down wave action during storms and help stop erosion and damage to the Seawall.
Mayor Glen Smith re-ported a recent three-hour workshop with GLO Coastal Resilience officials and said,
“They were begging us to ap-ply and take the money. I was told that even if the engineer-ing is over budget, they’ll cover it. They said this will not cost the City of Palacios one dime.”
The City would partner with the Palacios-Matagorda County Seawall Commis-sion and the Matagorda Bay Foundation, would study and identify the locations for the project.
Council approved the submission of the grant ap-plication and authorized the Mayor to act as the City’s authorized representative in all matters pertaining to the City’s participation in the TCDBG Program.

DPS Troopers hit milestone in child rescues

AUSTIN – The Texas Department of Public Safe-ty (DPS) Highway Patrol Troopers this week rescued their 500th child during traf-fic stops since the implemen-tation of specialized training that began in 2009. Troopers receive the training as part of the Interdiction for the Protection of Children (IPC) program.
The IPC program training teaches officers to spot indi-cators that a child is a vic-tim or at risk of becoming a victim, and includes children who are missing, exploited, at-risk or endangered. Troop-ers receive this training through a two-day, 16-hour course that uses a child-cen-tered approach and assess the totality of circumstances to determine if a child is at risk.
In addition to removing these children from danger-
ous situations, the training also aids DPS in related child abduction, human traffick-ing, possession of child por-nography and sexual assault investigations.
“This is an outstanding contribution to public safety by our Troopers who iden-tified and rescued children during standard traffic stops, even though the child could not necessarily vocalize they needed help,” said DPS Di-rector Steven McCraw. “At the same time, it helped us take reprehensible criminals who prey on one of our most vulnerable populations off the streets.”
IPC marked its 10th an-
niversary in 2019. In addi-tion to child rescues, IPC has trained more than 10,000 people in its methods across the U.S. and other countries, prompting groundbreaking changes in how agencies im-prove accountability and ap-proach child safety concerns.
IPC uses a multidisci-plinary approach to train law enforcement, prosecutors, criminal intelligence ana-lysts, child protective service, victim services and child ad-vocacy center professionals collectively. IPC continues to advocate the message: “Stop waiting for children to ask for your help.”
