- Ordinance 2025-02 (hotel occupancy tax definitions): Approved on first reading unanimously. The amendment clarifies what costs are subject to the city’s hotel occupancy tax and reporting/audit procedures.
- Resolution 01-2025: Approved unanimously. Staff presented this resolution to support TDHCA tax-credit applications for The Meadows, The Oaks and Paseo de Paz.
- Resolution 02-2025: Approved unanimously. A factual declaration required for the TDHCA application process (the item noted Kerrville has twice the per-capita supported housing as the state; the resolution is a required applicant declaration and does not itself allocate funds).
- Appointments: Reappointment to Food Service Advisory Board (Laura Dittmore) — approved unanimously. Appointment to Zoning Board of Adjustment (Jensy Carson) — approved unanimously.
Several items will return for additional action or documentation: the tree-preservation ordinance requires a second reading with revised language; the police department will return with procurement details after purchase and outfitting of the motorcycle.
Details and next steps for each item are available in staff reports and will be published with the next meeting packet.
