N O. 12461 ACCEPTANCE OF RECOMMENDATION OF CONCERNED CITIZENS COMMITTEE, II - RE: PROPOSED
COURT HOUSE AND JAIL IMPROVEMENTS
On this the 14th day of July 1975, upon motion made by Commissioner Sallee, seconded by
Commissioner Schwethelm, the Court unanimously accepted the recommendation of Concerned
Citizens Committee, II - Re: Proposed Court House and Jail Improvements, cahich recommendation
is as follows:
Kerrville, Texas
July 14, 1975
To: The Honorable Commissioners Court
of Kerr County, Texas
ATTENTION: Hon. Julius R. Neunhoffer, County Judge.
Gentlemen:
The CONCERNED CITIZENS COMMITTEE, II, a group of approximately fifty (50) citizens
of Kerr County, Texas, have been engaged for a period of months in the study of the need for
additional space at the Kerr County courthouse. After careful consideration, the Committee
recommends the following to you:
1. That a courthouse annex be constructed in accordance with the basic design concept pre-
pared by A. B. Swank, F.A.I.A., and Lester Whitton, P.E., and as amended below.
2. That the proposed first floor space (housing the County Tax Assessor-Collector and County
Clerk's offices), and the ground floor covered parking area be enlarged by 3,200 square feet
each. This action would reduce the overhang of the proposed jail floor from 10 feet to 2
feet. It is also recommended that the ground floor parking area be reserved for citizens
who have business at the courthouse as opposed to the personnel employed in the courthouse;
and, further, that the ground floor design be such as to facilitate enclosure in the future
when additional space is required for the courthouse.
3. That the jail floor area not be built at this time, but that appropriate provisions be
made in the annex construction so that this floor can be added at a later date.
4. That $100,000.00 be included in the bond issue, hereinafter recommended for the purpose
of refurbishing, repairing and remodeling the present courthouse when the new annex is com-
pleted, and the Clerk and Tax Assessor-Collector have moved to their new quarters.
5. That your Court immediately proceed with the necessary steps to call a bond election at
the earliest possible time, the same to be submitted to the people of Kerr County for their
approval or disapproval; and that a proposition be submitted authorizing the issuance of
bonds in the amount of $860,000.00, which issue caould include the courthouse annex together
with the $100,000.00 to be used for the refurbishing, repairing and remodeling of the present
courthouse.
6. That your Court submit a second and separate issue to the people of Kerr County,
authorizing the issuance of $100,000.00 in jail bonds, to be used if approved by the people,
to pay Kerr County's portion of the proposed jail; said bonds, assuming their approval by
the public, to be issued and sold by the Court only upon the condition that the Federal
Government furnish not less than $100,000.00, and the City of Kerrville furnish a like sum
of $100,000.00.
7. The Committee estimates that the tax revenues required to service such a bond issue,
assuming current valuations, and tax rates, would be as follows:
BOND ZSSUE AMOUNT
Courthouse annex - $860,000.00
Jail Funds - $100,000.00

TAX PER $100.00 VALUATION
