Thank you for the opportunity to speak to you today
My name is Roger W. Lampman. I reside at 140 Lookout Point Road, Comfort, TX 78013, which is
located in Falling Water Subdivision approximately 5 miles out of Comfort North on Hwy 87 towazds
Fredericksburg. The entrance to the subdivision is in Kendall County; however, the large majority of the
subdivision is located in Kerr County. Bemazd Selensky who is President of the POA and a resident of
Kendall County and I aze here representing the Kerr and Kendall County Falling Water POA. I am
currently serving as their Vice President. Currently there are 72 homes located in Falling Water, of which
54 aze located in Kerr County.
Our problem: In the event of a medical emergency in Falling Water, where a resident residing in the
Kerr County portion of the Subdivision would need to be transported, we would need to wait for the
EMS Unit from Kerrville to arrive, even though it is quite possible that a first responder from
Kendall County EMS Unit, that is located in Comfort, could arrive & transport the patient by as
much as 20to 25 minutes sooner than that of the EMS Unit from Kerrville.
We have discussed this matter with both the Kerr & Kendall County Commissioners and members of the
Kerrville Fve Department, Chief Raymond Holloway, Assistant Chief Mark Beavers & EMS Director Eric
Maloney and have been told that we must have your approval to improve upon the current method of
handling. After meeting with Chief Holloway, the Reserve at Falling Water has asked that they be a part of
this arrangement. We have submitted similaz data for their sub-division that includes 16 homes occupied or
under constmction.
We believe the solution to this problem would be for an "inter-local agreemen[° to be drawn between
Kerr & Kendall Counties whereby the Kendall County EMS unit would be given permission to
transport providing that their unit was in the Comfort area. If the Kendall EMS unit was not
present in the Comfort area, we would of course understand that the nearest available EMS unit
would have to make the call and transport if necessary. We believe this method of handling would be
a superior way to serve the citizens than the present system being used. It is our understanding that
a similar agreement is currently in place serving the citizens of West Kerr County in the YO
Ranchlands area by Kimble County.
During the past two and a half yeazs we have known of only two EMS calls to the subdivision. One call
was in Kerr County and the other in Kendall. Our POA supports the Comfort Voluntary Fire Department
with a substantial monetary gift each year and our residents aze paying sizeable county taxes to both
counties. We trust that the Kerr County Commissioner's Court will help us solve this problem before some
emergency situation occurs at one of our doorsteps.
We understand Fire Chief Halloway and Commissioner Letz have been working with the Kemille City
Manager Paul Hofftnann and they have a draft inter-local agreement ready for your consideration.
Also, the Board of Directors of Falling Water has passed a resolution requesting the inter-local agreement
be enacted. A copy is included.
Thanks again for allowing us to appear before you today and we trust that we will receive your
support.

Resolution
Be it resolved that the Board of Directors of Kerr and Kendall Counties Falling Water Property
Owners' Association do hereby request an inter-local agreement between Ken and Kendall
Counties and the City of Kerrville which will result in the first responder EMS service to the Kerr
Ccounty portion of Falling Water be served by the Kendall County EMS unit located in Comfort,
Texas and then secondly by the City of Kerrville due to it having the next closest EMS location.
In the event of a medical emergency in Falling Water, where a resident residing in the Kerr County

minutes sooner than that of the EMS Unit from Kerrville.
