ITEM N0. 2.3
CONSIDERRTION OF THE TOWNCREEK ERST REDEVELOPMENT COUNCIL
OPPOSING THE SITE OF THE JUVENILE DETENTION CENTER AND TO
PROVIDE RLTERNATE SITES FOR THE CENTER.
Richard Venzor and Laressa Smith presented a letter to the
Court requesting an alternate site other than Schreiner and
Hays Street. The three alternate sites were to bring the
present Detention Center^ up to fire code standards; County
Property on Spur laa next to Rg Barn; and the Proposed site
of the County Jail.
There was a petition signed by 94 Kerr• County Residents and
more to come at a later date, opposing the site of the
Detention Center.
We are willing to work together to came up with a solution
that will work with everyone.

Simon Harris spoke to the Court and presented some
disadvantages and advantages.
The disadvantages for• a remote site would be: We would have
to transport juveniles to the site; It would make it
difficult for the parents to get to see there children „
there would also be liabilities going to and from the
location for the county. The cost for the taxpayer would be
half of the amount of a bond issue. The positive comments:
It would make it easier for a parent that does not have a
vehicle, to get to see their child. These children are not
criminals they are children that have some problems. You
reduce the liabilities by not having to transport children.
The Property is already owned by Kerr County and that would
be an expense that would not be incurred. The real estate
may rise in price due to the building being built and it may
boost the prices of surrounding properties. The children are
not un-supervised.
Commissioner Holekamp stated he had some phone calls stating
that they would rather have a pretty building sitting on that
piece of property instead of the weeds that are presenting
growing there.
Mark Shaw spoke and said he lives in this same neighborhood
and this group claims they are speaking for• the residents.
They ar^e not speaking for me. It is always one family that
i_ has complaints. They do not represent me and I think the
County should give the people the opport~snity to say what
they would like to say about this issue.
Commissioner Lehman stated that they would work with the
group in trying to resolve the problem we are having. This
building does look like a residential building and it would
probably raise the real estate value for the better.
