THE COUNTY COURT
OF
KERB COUNTY. TEkAS
MEMORANDUM
TO: Commissioners
FROM: Pat Tinley
DATE: August 7, 2006
RE: OSSF Compliance -City of Ingram
Sometime back I had a meeting with the Mayor and Attorney for the City of Ingram in
which we discussed the possibility of Kerr County performing OSSF services required
under State law for the City of Ingram. Because of the small number of OSSF matters
which the City of Ingram has, I advised both of them that it appeared to be a reasonable
and logical thing for Kerr County to perform that function for the City of Ingram and that
as faz as I knew it was doable and legal. I also mentioned this possibility to the Manager
of our Environmental Health Departrnent and he wrote a memo to the Court outlining
some questions and concerns which he had concerning the subject.
Attached is a resolution passed by the City Council of the City of Ingram which would
accomplish Ken County handling OSSF matters for the City of Ingram. The resolution
is, of course, subject to approval of the Kerr CounTy Commissioners' Court.
