It's 9:02 or 3 a.m., and the 3 Kerr County Commissioners' Court is in session. This is 4 a special one for the purpose of paying bills, etc., 5 thanks to our Texas Attorney General. We appreciate 6 that. 7 (Approval Agenda to Pay Bills.) 8 1.5 consider, discuss and take appropriate 9 action to approve policy for on-site sewage facilities, 10 connections, and related matters to East Kerr 11 County/Center Point Wastewater Project, and rescind 12 Court Order #36556. 13 COMMISSIONER LETZ: We'll deal with that 14 Monday, it's not ready yet. We're still trying to get 15 one that everyone can understand and agree to. 16 COMMISSIONER BELEW: So there was only a 17 little bit of wording that was sort of odd. What else 18 did you discover? 19 COMMISSIONER LETZ: The problem is then it 20 got back -- the problem is I think it's come down to -- 21 its come down to a matter of semantics. I refer -- I 22 don't know if you heard Commissioner Moser, but I refer 23 to the project area as the project are. Others refer to 24 the project area as where Colonia's are. And we refer 25 to project area, and that's what -- but then I talked 4 1 with Charlie, okay, what are we talking about. The 2 issue comes in -- it's going to have to be more 3 complicated than we thought because there's four 4 different programs that are paying these, and there's 5 different areas where they're eligible to be paid. The 6 financial criteria and then there's also geographic 7 criteria, and we need to -- I told Charlie we need a 8 map, we need a very specific map, because I don't want 9 to get into a situation where, you know, people think 10 that they live in quote in Westwood, which is a Colonia, 11 but what is Westwood. I want that on a map because 12 there are people near Westwood that they think they are 13 Westwood but under the policy they may not get free 14 hookups. 15 COMMISSIONER BELEW: Does that mean there's 16 going to be four different -- 17 COMMISSIONER LETZ: We're not sure. 18 COMMISSIONER MOSER: I agree with 19 Commissioner Letz. We got an area, the project area, 20 and there's a bunch of subareas within that, yeah. 21 COMMISSIONER LETZ: So we just -- you know, 22 and it came to light, a lot of it, at our last meeting 23 when Commissioner Belew, myself, and Commissioner Reeves 24 read it differently, and if we can't figure it out how's 25 the public going to figure it out. So we need to make 5 1 sure we understand it very clearly before we -- 2 JUDGE POLLARD: Very good. 3 COMMISSIONER MOSER: Okay, so we'll do that 4 Monday. 5 COMMISSIONER BELEW: So color coding for 6 guys like me. 7 COMMISSIONER LETZ: It'll be more 8 complicated, but hopefully very simple. 9 JUDGE POLLARD: Go more than color coding, 10 you put titles on it for people like me. Okay, I think 11 it needs to be more specific. All right, so no action 12 on item 1.5. 13 COMMISSIONER MOSER: Correct. 14 JUDGE POLLARD: Is there any further 15 business for the Commissioners' Court at this time? 16 COMMISSIONER MOSER: No. 17 JUDGE POLLARD: There being none, we're 18 adjourned. 19 * * * * * * 20 21 22 23 24 25 6 1 STATE OF TEXAS * 2 COUNTY OF KERR * 3 I, DEBRA ELLEN GIFFORD, Certified Shorthand 4 Reporter in and for the State of Texas, and Official 5 Reporter in and for the County Court of Kerr County, do 6 hereby certify that the above and foregoing pages 7 contain and comprise a true and correct transcription of 8 the proceedings had in the above-entitled Commissioners' 9 Court. 10 Dated this the 24th day of July, A.D. 2018. 11 12 /s/DEBRA ELLEN GIFFORD Certified Shorthand Reporter 13 No. 953 Expiration Date 12/31/2018 14 * * * * * * 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
