Please find below a copy of the presentation that was given at my town hall meeting held on October 8th in Center Point at the Elementary School cafeteria.
The main topics covered were the 2025-26 county budget and its impact on your property taxes followed by a presentation on the historic and tragic July 4th flood. CPVFD Chief Charles Holt was there to tell the CPVFD story which was an amazing undertaking and accomplishment.
My thanks go out to CPISD Superintendent Joshua Limmer who made their facilities available for this event. A repeat of the town hall meeting was held on October 14th in Kerrville at the Hosanna Lutheran Church. My thanks to Hosanna for making their venue available as well.
If you have any questions regarding the presentation material, please reach out to me at my county email address: richard.paces@ccourt.kerrcountytx.gov or call me at (830) 343-9107.
The main point of the above slide is to illustrate how the county always over budgets and under spends. Historically we always end the year with a higher reserve balance than that predicted at the start of the year when the budget is approved. Note that we have had a deficit budget the last several years, yet still ended the year with a healthy reserve balance.
Note: I haven’t heard anything from the TWDB regarding this suggested study.
Note: Feedback from the aggregate producers during our APO Advisory Council meeting held on February 3rd 2026 was that it would be too difficult and costly to transport their equipment to these sites to enable them to remove any of the materials. Hence, we’re likely stuck with the gravel piles till the next flood…
