The Bandera Economic Development Corporation (EDC) raised concerns Wednesday over a $15,000 check that failed to reach its intended recipient and questioned the authenticity of a recently completed audit. The $15,000 check was intended to fund disc golf improvements at Bandera’s Disc Golf Course, at the request of local chiropractor Dr. Allan Gratia.

The former EDC board, which included members Debbie Breen, Lynn Palmer, Eric Cothran, Laura Devenport, Patricia Mc-Mullan, and Manny Longoria, had made the approval in Aug. 2025.

The EDC approved the $15,000 contribution go to the city so that municipal officials – which would include current city secretary Jill Dickerson and former city treasurer Allyson Wright - could provide oversight of the project.
