In a recent government meeting, officials from the City of Boerne, Kendall County, and Texas AgriLife Extension announced a free workshop focused on rainwater capture systems for residents. Participants will have the opportunity to engage with experts, vendors, and contractors who can provide guidance and installation services. Registration is required to ensure an accurate headcount for the event scheduled for the 3rd of the month.
Additionally, the meeting highlighted the completion of the first monitoring well on Mr. Zinsmeister's property, funded by ARPA money allocated by the previous court. This initiative aims to gather scientific data on the local aquifer, with strategic placement of wells determined by Cal Creek.
Commissioner Carpenter congratulated the Comfort community on the installation of new warning sirens, enhancing public safety during rain events. The sirens are part of a broader flood warning system, which includes a gauge installed above Comfort. Plans for a community test of the sirens were discussed to familiarize residents with their operation.
The meeting also acknowledged the passing of Barbara Racinowski, a respected member of the community, who recently lost her battle with cancer. Her contributions to the public and the local Republican Party were recognized, and condolences were extended to her family.
Lastly, the court moved to proclaim the week of October 6th through 12th, 2024, as National 4-H Week in Kendall County, with further details to be provided by the 4-H Program Coordinator.
