challenges for Hill Country county governments; and
Whereas, the Texas Hill Country is prone to major flooding and extended periods of drought; is
vulnerable to water quality degradation; and as a region faces major challenges due to
a limited water supply; and
Whereas, the cost of infrastnicture exceeds the County's capacity to keep up services necessary
for a growing population; and
Whereas, Texas County's generally have limited authority to regulate subdivisions and ensure
orderly development for the protection of public health, safety, morals and general
welfare; and

County Coalition; and
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Commissioners Court of Kerr County supports

legislative authority in order to diversify our availability of revenue resources; to protect our budgets
from state and federal unfunded and/or under-funded mandates; and to protect our quality of life,
public safety, natural resources, and economic future."
