Council member discussion followed a request to pull the item from the consent agenda. Council member Horner said the change is intended to make funds available so Habitat’s contractors can complete about $2.26 million in infrastructure work expended by June, rather than forcing Habitat to wait for a second tranche until October under the original schedule.

City staff described the technical change as an administrative adjustment that moves cash availability so contractors are paid in the project timeframe. Staff also said the amendment includes a provision that if Habitat were to reacquire homes, those units would be subject to EIC resale restrictions limiting price increases, thereby preserving affordability in the neighborhood’s covenants and restrictions.

The council approved the amendment; a motion carried with a second and the mayor declared the item passed. The record shows the grant and its amendment were discussed during the consent agenda and then handled separately after a public question had been raised.","The council approved an amendment to an EIC grant agreement with Habitat for Humanity to allow the second tranche of infrastructure funding to be made available sooner so contractors can complete work, and added resale provisions if Habitat later reacquires homes.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":44,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":50,"_51":93,"_53":94,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":95,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":96,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6044537,"Kerrville council adopts subdivision-code change requiring certificate of assured groundwater rights",412,2153000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3613300-e905040a8c4ccdeb7b97e268a9aa912b&start=1741&end=2153","/articles/6044537/Kerrville/Kerr-County/Texas/Kerrville-council-adopts-subdivision-code-change-requiring-certificate-of-assured-groundwater-rights","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6044537-26388cdeeb6242dc3a8656279c2f4f03/orig.mp4?Expires=1771191820&Signature=dvOPMz5Uw2FubhTyWOjm~c-Je0F~5zgBUWq34kMYXH2~wwCXmmV6DSTeMVLFZDCt6lPmv-Tp3ofc1IBvrpGRb8I0rKQgyUQoHRWtI-hNO74G~y7~tQL7qNUznnBo8PPSXxxaNibxLoFjUsyZ2QP7jHPGob~LI8mE9eOagXraxw~oXS08RDQD9RBYLdJ2v1AXIv4vli5WF-b65T3OdIPjYGs~YIpCvbh-go8SazoD2CBiRHOdmeVWS-BJ6xSW6j6bq5r6J7wmvBDKRhta0Lr9S85sNeAWBOvEAHEfGqgh4dTnq0gd6LQcbWRLg7p2U1cZQgRWqpaaAqh~7pFtatpEcg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Kerrville City Council on April 22 unanimously approved an ordinance amending Chapter 82 of the city subdivision code to add a requirement that a developer provide a certificate of assured groundwater rights when filing a plat.

The change appears as ordinance number 2025-07 and was part of the consent agenda. The amendment adds a step for staff review so that the city can verify whether a developing property’s groundwater rights are owned or encumbered, staff said. “The requirement for groundwater is to just for the staff to be able to verify when a property is developing, do they own the groundwater rights?” a city staff member explained during public comment responses.

Citizen George Broody asked why a landowner within city limits would need to prove groundwater rights, and whether the ordinance changes the longstanding rule that a plat cannot be recorded until required public improvements are completed or secured by agreement and bond. “So my question is, is that those steps being changed in this or is that the same before and after?” Broody asked.

City staff said the amendment does not remove the requirement that infrastructure be completed or secured before recording. “The amendments are just moving the funding requirement from an application requirement to a recording requirement. So they’ll still be required either provide security prior to recording and then build the infrastructure or build the infrastructure prior to recording of the plat,” the staff member said.

The ordinance had been approved unanimously on first reading April 8 and was approved on second reading as part of the grouped consent agenda on April 22. No councilmember votes were named in the public transcript of the consent vote; the mayor announced the motion passed unanimously.","Council unanimously approved an amendment to Chapter 82 of the city subdivision code that adds a requirement for a certificate of assured groundwater rights; staff said the change aims to verify developers’ water-right status and does not transfer rights to the city.",{"_33":98,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":99,"_41":100,"_43":101,"_45":102,"_47":103,"_49":104,"_51":105,"_53":106,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":107,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":108,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6044542,"Kerrville Pets Alive updates council on spay/neuter clinics, shelter donations and new campus plans",156,1514000,1670000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3613300-e905040a8c4ccdeb7b97e268a9aa912b&start=1514&end=1670","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3613300-e905040a8c4ccdeb7b97e268a9aa912b/thumbnail_1514000.jpg","/articles/6044542/Kerrville/Kerr-County/Texas/Kerrville-Pets-Alive-updates-council-on-spayneuter-clinics-shelter-donations-and-new-campus-plans","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6044542-7b300ecc814af53db78b7c001882af88/orig.mp4?Expires=1771191820&Signature=GkCMl6lsftHWTmPEHPBSfM1q778px6qWFXe8ziKaJBeGj6ii15XWq7ivrztkjeAebe5YOWOednH1xdVVljbUVFMNWKEqJJub2UKCgS45XbxE-yE4~qPfGCTngSX-o-hmnIzkxZrPmWG-PmTBIQKcKj39bni2-vEgMFEBBO-DeXGUVlKIQjE59AUFEKcmNVr2ZwUSvFhO3yY5780R70PpRSa~XWR9bEHzO5OX7baqvMT5auZ9YI-x-w-8iLM2Z5hTTwO7srqY4hMOdAy9IxRFmnbaP-MZ3Td8XWE6eoxXJ4~vIRJF9rTt1F2JIWEJqdsWcTHuwzU-N8Tq40oHe5GMYA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Karen Guerrero, founder of volunteer nonprofit Kerrville Pets Alive, told the City Council on April 22 that the group has donated more than $17,000 in medical care to Kerr County animal services and has vaccinated, spayed and neutered 50 animals so far this year.

Guerrero said the group also has provided about $1,200 in vaccines and equipment and logged more than 1,000 volunteer hours to the county shelter and its clinics during the first quarter. “We recently reported to the Kerr County Commissioners over $17,000 in donations for medical care for the pets at Kerr County animal services,” she said.

The group has worked with the city on “snip and chip” clinics — free and low-cost spay, neuter, vaccine and microchip events — and Guerrero encouraged low-income residents to sign up for upcoming clinics. She said four additional clinics are planned and that sign-ups are posted on the nonprofit’s website.

Guerrero said Kerrville Pets Alive and the city are refining a feral cat community caretaker registration to address community cat populations, and that the nonprofit has helped form an interdisciplinary animal-abuse team involving law enforcement, Kerr County Animal Services and the district attorney’s office to identify and pursue abuse cases.

She also announced a capital campaign for a permanent “safe campus” at 2926 Memorial Boulevard, and previewed the group’s December fundraiser, Furball, with tickets and sponsorship available online.

The council did not take formal action on the presentation; the update was delivered during the public comment portion of the agenda.","Volunteer group Kerrville Pets Alive told the City Council it donated more than $17,000 to Kerr County animal services, has vaccinated and sterilized 50 pets this year so far and is beginning a capital campaign for a permanent campus at 2926 Memorial Boulevard.","actionData","errors"]
