Dear Judge Denson
Commissioner Lehman
Commissioner Lackey
Commissioner Holekamp
Commissioner Oehler
I have requested three items be placed on the agenda for the
December 23, 1996 scheduled meeting of the Kerr County Commis-
sioners Court on behalf of the Kerrville Little League, Inc. I
have briefly summarized each issue below for your review.
1. We request that you approve the name change of the Ker-
rville Little League, Inc. as outlined below, pursuant to Item 9.
Assignment of Lease under the current lease agreement
At the 1996 - 1947 annual board meeting of the Kerrville
Little League, Inc., the Board of Directors voted to change the
name of the organization from the Kerrville Little League, Inc.,
to the Kerrville Youth Baseball and Softball Association. The
reason for the change was to provide more flexibility in the
programs we offer and improve the long term fund raising opportu-
nities for the organization. We plan to continue to offer pro-
grams under the sanctioned Little League organization. We also
plan to file a dba as the Kerrville Little League.
2. We request that you approve the drilling of a water well
on the property currently under lease to the Kerrville Little
League and designate the Kerrville Youth Baseball and Softball
Association dba Kerrville Little League as agent for Kerr County
per the attached application. The proposed well location is
behind the current major league adjacent to Spur 100 and is
located out of the floodplain.
At the December 8, 1996 board meeting, the directors voted
to expend the funds to drill a water well at the current baseball
facility. The proposed well would be approximately 450 feet deep
into the trinity sands formation. The purpose of the well would
be for irrigation of the baseball and softball fields. We cur-
rently use water from the City of Kerrville for this purpose.
However, with construction of four more fields, we feel this
source is no longer cost effective. If we were to continue to use
city water we estimate the annual cost would be from $5,000 to
$7,000. The cost of the well and operating expenses would payout
in about .two years. We have looked other options such as pumping
out of Third Creek or using treated water from the city; however,
in our opinion the best and safest option is to drill a well.
3. We request that you reaffirm the site plan previously
approved under the lease amendment dated April 22, 1996. The plan
has changed very little since its original inception: there are
four new fields, a low water crossing across Third Creek which is
a temporary structure, and we cleaned up the debris and brush
along Third Creek.
As you will recall David Lidke, former manager of the De-
partment of Environmental Health, including administrator of the
Floodplain Management Plan, reviewed this proposal. Further, his
successor in the Road and Bridge Department and the County En-
gineer reviewed the site plan prior to commencing the project. It
was felt that a permit would not be required for this project as
all structures were temporary in nature and that the work would
not alter the water flow within the floodplain. In fact it was
felt that this project would improve the water flow by clearing
the brush and debris that has accumulated along Third Creek. We
have not sought approval from the UGRA, current administrator of
the Floodplain Management Program effective October 1, 1996 since
construction began prior to this date.
Please contact me if you have any questions regarding this mat-
ter.
