ITEM ~.~:;~ Discussion and consideration of Joint City and
Co~_inty Animal Cantrol and Shelter.
Judge Denson stated he would like to see the County and the
City become one entity for an animal shelter^ facility. The
cost that the City puts o~.at for^ an animal shelter could be
used to apply for the new animal shelter^, and the equipment
and employees could all be under^ the County contr^ol to whey^e
they^e would not be a duplication of services. This was only
a discussion only.

Re: City Council Agenda for November 8, 1994 -- Contributions
to New Animal Control Facility
Dear Mayor Johnson and Council Members:
I have enclosed several documents for your review in
connection with your November 8, 1994 council meeting. On behalf
of the Kerr County Commissioners' Court we have requested an
opportunity to present at this meeting our request for your
approval of city participation in development of a new animal
control facility, which we will attempt to design, build and have
operational prior to July 1, 1995, that date upon which the
Freeman-Fritts facility will no longer accept impounded animals.
The basis for the county's proposal is the notion that it will
benefit Kerr County, as well as the City of Kerrville and the City
of Ingram to have one county facility used by all three entities,
rather than to have each government build, equip and staff three
separate facilities.
We are requesting the council's approval of the proposed
contributions to development of the county's facility, which
includes your commitment to contribute land and sewer facilities,
as well as appointment of a councilperson(s) and/or staff member(s)
to a committee which will meet in the immediate future with similar
representative from the county and the city of Ingram to work out
the remaining details regarding the construction and operation of
the facility, as well as the terms and conditions of the
intergovernmental contract pursuant to which this new facility will
operate.
The county's proposal can be broken down into two interrelated
parts. The first deals with the design and construction of the
physical facilities. The County is requesting that the City of
Kerrville contribute approximately 1 lj2 acre of land (exact
dimensions to be worked vut by the committee and submitted to the
council for approval) that is located as shown on the attached map.
This land would be deeded to the county, and the facility (see
proposed plans, also attached hereto) would be built on that land.
This is land currently owned by the city which is adjacent to the
proposed extension of Legion Drive and abutting a portion of the
land which Recor, Inc., has purchased for development of their new
juvenile detention facility. The property is currently zoned for
agricultural use, which zone also specifically permits animal
control facilities. In addition, the county requests that the city
provide the necessary sewer lines to serve the animal control
facility.
The county will contribute the construction of the facility
and necessary appurtenant structures, such as the parking lots and
driveways, etc. At this point, we estimate that the facility will
cost approximately $150,000.00 to construct.
The second part of the proposal deals with the operation of
the new facility. The benefit that the City of Kerrville will
receive in return for its contribution is a substantial reduction
on the rate that it would otherwise be required to pay for use of
the facility over a period of time, that would be roughly
proportionate to the value that it contributes to the development
of the physical facility. There would also be the additional
intangible benefits to the city of increased services for the rate
currently being paid (the plans for this facility include increased
hours of operation from those offered by Freeman-Fritts) and a 24-
hour animal drop-off area, which will permit unwanted animals to be
dropped of at the facility, rather than abandoned in the city or
county.
The proposed committee would also be responsible for reaching
an agreement on specific valuation of the land and sewer
connections to be contributed, as well as how to distribute this
contribution over time as a rate reduction for the city.
We contemplate that if our plan is approved by the council,
the appointed committee members will meet promptly to determine
various specific details having to do with completion of the
facility, such as the exact dimensions and location of the land to
be donated by the city, how the intergovernmental contract for
operations is to be worded, approval of the final design, and so
forth. Given the time constraints under which we are operating, we
expect that the final design plans and going out for bids will take
place simultaneously with the committee working out the details of
the intergovernmental agreement for operations.
2
While we recognize that we are requesting a significant
contribution of value from the city towards this project, we
believe that in the long run it will substantially benefit the
citizens of Kerrville far in excess of the value of this
contribution, and will foster improved relationships between our
two governments. With that in mind, we thank you for your careful
consideration of the proposal.
Best regards,
~ ~~

SECTION 7
~;_ AGRICULTURAL DISTRIrT
7.0
Purpose.
The "AG" (Agricultural District) is designed for appli-
cation to large tracts of a rural or semi-rural char-
acter and is intended to prevent isolated and premature
urban land uses from locating on lands presently in use
for agricultural, ranching and certain urban support
uses requiring large land uses. It is intended that the
"AG" District may be replaced by other district
classifications at such time as market demand prompts
more intense urban land use activities, subject to the
availability of utilities and streets, and compatibility
with existing developments.
7.1 U es Permitted ja ~g "AG" District. The following use
types are permitted:
