re: 1992 Appointments to Board of Fire Commissioners
Fire District No. 1
Dear Judge Stacy:
As of January 1, 1991, two vacancies will occur on the Board
of Fire Commissioners, due to the expiration of the terms of
William V. Best and Donald C. Oehler. As you know, appointments
to the Board are made by the County Commissioners' Court.
We -would like to recommend that Donald C. Oehler be re-
appointed to fill his own vacancy. He has agreed to serve an
additional two-year term. Mr. Oehler's membership on the Board has
been an invaluable asset. His legal expertise, knowledge of the
local area, and his common sense and good judgment have served us
extremely well.
In addition, we recommend that Rowan P. Zachry, a resident of
Greenwood Forest housing area and Constable for the City of Ingram
be appointed to fill the remaining vacancy. Through his own
efforts, Mr. Zachry has become very familiar with the operation of
the Ingram Fire Department, and he has a sincere interest in
improving the overall capability of the District in fire fighting
and fire prevention. Moreover, he is well versed in budget and
financial procedures, as well as equipment needs and procurement.
These will be major areas of concern in the near future.
.~ appreciate your personal interest and that of the
Commissioners' Court in matters involving the Fire District, and
we look forward to working together on problems of mutual concern.
Sincerely,
~~~cw l /~~G~'
Elaine C~asteel

Mr. Eddie Chalmers
Kerr County Appraisal District
Kerrville, Texas
Dear Mr. Chalmers:
Chapter 794 of the Health and Safety Code, Title 9, State of
Texas, "Rural Fire Prevention Districts" prescribes that the
boundaries of a District be defined by "metes and bounds or other
sufficient legal description" from the initial petitioning and
throughout the election process.
We have attached a copy of the document that defines our
District. It was amended at the time the petition was submitted
to include Bear Paw Ranch .Subdivision. The reason for including
Bear Paw was that it is a part of the 367-prefix telephone exchange
and thus in the Ingram Volunteer Fire Department's area of
responsibility.
The metes and bounds of the District are on file with the Kerr
County Clerk. They have been consistent throughout the process of
forming the District, and were formally established by the Kerr
County Commissioners' Court when the District was created.
We hope this will serve to correct any unintentional error
regarding Bear Paw Ranch, and we will work with you in any way
possible to expedite its inclusion in the tax assessment for the
District.
Yours truly,
C~u~ /%~C~d/~
