MS. LUTZ: Thank you.
JUDGE TINLEY: The next item on the agenda is
a timed item, and at this time I will recess the
Commissioners Court and convene a public hearing for name
change, regulatory signs, resetting school zone at Nimitz
Elementary, abandoning, vacating, and discontinuing roads in
Kerr County in accordance with public notice that's been
published.
(The regular Commissioners Court meeting was
closed at 10:47 a.m., and a public hearing
was held in open court, as follows:)
P U B L I C H E A R I N G
JUDGE TINLEY: Is there any member of the
public that wishes to be heard concerning the name change,
regulatory signs, resetting school zone at Nimitz
Elementary, abandoning, vacating, and discontinuing roads in
Kerr County in accordance with the public notice? Being no
one -- excuse me.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: Judge, I have -- two
people have contacted me and asked me to voice their concern
during this portion.
JUDGE TINLEY: Very good.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: They both are objecting
to the closing of a portion of Riojas Road. Gene Hall,
whose phone number is 995-2448, he objects to that. And
also Nancy Carr; phone number of her is (210) 847-0659. And

I just wanted to get that into the record.
JUDGE TINLEY: Zs there anyone else who
wishes to be heard with respect to the name changes,
regulatory signs, resetting school zone at Nimitz
Elementary, abandoning, vacating, and discontinuing roads in
Kerr County as given in the public notice? Hearing or
seeing no one stepping forward, I will close the public
hearing, and I will reconvene the Commissioners Court
meeting.
(The public hearing was concluded at 10:49
a.m., and the regular Commissioners Court
meeting was reopened.)
JUDGE TINLEY: Let's go to Item 12, consider
approval of name change, regulatory signs, resetting school
zone at Nimitz Elementary, abandoning, vacating, and
discontinuing roads in Kerr County as provided in the public
notice and called in the public hearing.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: Judge, on this one, I
would request that we take no action on abandoning Louise
Ehler Lane East, the 380 foot of Riojas Road North, or the
name change of Louise Ehler Lane East to Barbara Way East.
I think we may be able to act on those at our next meeting,
but not today.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: Move approval of the
changes as outlined, with the exception of the abandonment

1 and the name change as noted by Commissioner 3.
2 COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Second.
3 JUDGE TINLEY: Motion made and seconded for
4 the approval of the agenda item, with the exception of the
S abandonment, vacating, discontinuance of Louise Ehler Lane
6 East and 380 feet of Riojas North, and the name change of
7 Louise Ehler Lane East to Barbara Way East. Any question or
8 discussion?
9 MS. HARDIN: I have a question for
10 Commissioner Letz. On the -- on the Riojas, if we can work
11 with the gentleman to work on a cul-de-sac or a way to turn
12 around, would we then have to bring it back to the court, or
13 do we have to readvertise?
14 COMMISSIONER LETZ: I believe if we are
15 within the nature -- I mean, pretty close to doing the
16 request as listed, I don't believe -- I don't believe we
17 need another public hearing.
18 MS. HARDIN: We do not?
19 COMMISSIONER LETZ: Do not.
20 MS. HARDIN: I will work with the gentleman
21 and see if we can work something out. Thank you.
-~------- JUDGE TINLEY: Any further questions?
23 Comments? All in favor of the motion, signify by raising
24 your right hand.

JUDGE TINLEY: All opposed, same sign.
(No response.)
JUDGE TINLEY: That motion does carry.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: Judge, would you concur
that, I mean, as long as we don't substantially change a
road closure or abandonment, we would not need a new public
hearing? That's the way I would think. Do you agree?
JUDGE TINLEY: If there's no material
variance from -- from the notice of public hearing and what
the proposed action by the Court is, I don't think we need a
new public hearing. You would need a new agenda item, of
course, to do it.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: Right.
JUDGE TINLEY: But not a new public hearing,
unless there's going to be any material change. Let's go to
the next timed item, Item Number 13, consider and discuss
making agreements with the City of Kerrville and/or Kimble
County and Junction EMS to authorize Kimble County/Junction
EMS to provide emergency medical services to a certain
portion of northwest Kerr County. Commissioner Nicholson.
COMMISSIONER NICHOLSON: Commissioners, in
our first meeting in October, we passed a motion authorizing
the County Judge to sign an agreement with Kimble County
providing for them to provide emergency medical services to
a portion of northwest Kerr County, and for him to modify an
