COMMISSIONERS' COURT CONVENED IN A WORKSHOP SESSION on
Thursday, February 15, 1990 at 8:05 A. M. with all officers
present except County Judge Edwards, and the Court having
duly opened, the following proceedings were had:
Levell Sutton, President of Wood Trails, Vern Ladd, Chairman
02 the Road Committee for Wood Trails, and George West,
Vice-President of Wood Trails, addressed the Court on the
need to have the roads in Wood Trails brought up to standard
and County maintained. They were considering a Road District
but the tax generated by a Road District would fall short of
the funds needed to bring the roads up to standard.
Commissioner Holekamp ask, "what do you want the County to
.do"? The reply was to take over the roads and maintain them,
only iŁ just graded once a year and if the County gets a
chance to shoot a little oil on for dust that would be great.
Commissioner Holelcamp replied that once we put grader on the
road, we are committed to keep up the road.
Commissioner Morgan suggested taking one small road, get the
funds to bring it up to standard and request to be placed on
the paving program. Then get the road ready just prior to
being paved.
Next Suzette McKinney and Calvin Neely addressed the Court in
reference to a Weather Radio Translator. Mr. Neely was ask
by Commissioner Baldwin to check into the feasibility of a
station to pick up San Antonio. Mr. J. D. Ward, Deputy
Meteorologist-in-Charge, National Weatt,er Service Forecast
Office in San Antonio, 'Texas was very excited by the prospect
and stated they consider Kerrville and Kerr County the center
of the Hill Country, and would tailor report for Kerr County.
They are asking the County to be responsible for the tower
and the initial cost. The 100 watt transmitter would be
placed on the Shield Communication tower between Hunt and
Ingram with a 75 mile reception radius. The cost would be
between 512,000.00 and S13,448.00 initially and 5620.00
annually. Commissioner Ray suggested the earliest time to
deal with this is budget time.
3 The pros and cons of the new animal control law and the or,e
adopted by Comal County were discussed. The new law is
broader than the one adopted by Comal County which is more
defined. Each County must appoint a Rabies Control Officer
or Animal Control Officer, which Kerr County has already
done, regardless of whether you have a county order on
strays.
