7ody Grinstead, Court Coordinator
Kerr County Commissioners' Court
Hello Jody,
Attached are two requests to be placed on the Commissioners" Court agenda on
11 August 2008. The first is our annual budget request. We are still in process of
compiling this document and I will be able to give you the requisite 10 copies of
'r budget document after our special meeting on 5 August. I do want to reserve
a pot on this agenda at this time.
The second request is for the Commissioners' Court approval of the movement of
three existing Texas State Historical Monuments. Two of these movements will
have some affect on the County Courthouse grounds.
1. We are asking permission to have the existing 1936 historical marker - Cnmp
Verde CSA - located at the northeast corner of Main and Sidney Baker -
Courthouse grounds -moved to a site near the Camp Verde store. The actual site
is on the excess TxDOT ROW between FM 480 and Verde Creek and Hwy 173.
2. We are also asking for the movement of the forlorn state historical marker
regarding the establishment of Kerr County. We ask that this 1936 red granite
marker be moved f rom its location out on Hwy 27 to the courthouse grounds and
placed in a prominent site.
3. We will also be requesting the relocation of an existing marker in the TxDOT
osiosi2oos
Page 2 of 2
picnic area in front of the Camp Verde General Store. This request seeks the
:location of this marker to the site on higher ground -out of the f loodway - on
the east side of Verde Creek -where the Cnmp Verde CSA marker will be located.
There are documents which Judge Tinley and the Commissioners will need to
approve before this action can occur. Mike Coward, the TxDOT district engineer
has already approved this action as it will involve TxDOT rights-of-way. A full
packet - in 10 copies -will be forthcoming to your office within a week. I do want
to reserve n spot on this agenda at this time.
Thank you for your kind consideration and continued cooperation.
Best regards,
