Commissioners' Court has been discussing this issue for months. We have all received
related back-up material and received an opinion from the County Attorney. The
Commissioners' Court discussed this situation with the City of Kerrville at our joint
meeting July 29, 2003.
I believe we need to resolve this situation.

From: David Motley
Subject: Airport Board court order abatement or revocation
Date: October 1, 2003
In response to your September 26, 2003 memorandum, perhaps I missed something at the
last Commissioners' Court meeting. I thought it was the consensus of the Court that they
would meet with, at least, our airport board members and advise them of our position
regarding their authority. Following this meeting, I thought the Court had already decided
to proceed to rescind the February 9, 1987 court order (17103) approving a resolution
affirming the status of the Kerrville-Kerr County Joint Airport Board as an advisory
board only. The City of Kerrville did the same in Ordinance 87-03 on February 10, 1987.
I find no authority requiring such a rescission but I would recommend it in order to
clearly indicate the Courts' position to current and future generations.
