Donations can be made directly to the Kerr County Flood Relief Fund

The Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country has established the Kerr County Flood Relief Fund to support local response, relief, and recovery efforts following the devastating July 4th flood.

You can access the Fund here: https://tinyurl.com/KerrFloodRelief

All donations will directly benefit organizations working on the front lines of this emergency. Full details are available at the link above.

The Community Foundation is no stranger to crisis response. The Foundation has previously raised and distributed funds for past Kerr County floods, the 2022 Robb Elementary School shooting in Uvalde, and the Crabapple Fire in Fredericksburg earlier this year.

"We know the strength of Kerr County lies in its people. This Fund gives our neighbors and friends a way to help, and we’ll ensure funds support the organizations working on the front lines of flood response and recovery," said Austin Dickson, CEO of the Community Foundation.

***TONIGHT! AAMPO/TXDOT Meeting for Public Input on Improvements to FM 1863***

AAMPO wants to hear from you! The Alamo Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (AAMPO) will host the Comal County Public Meeting tonight (June 17th) at 5:30pm at the New Braunfels Civic Center to discuss the use of $256 million in funding available for the region during the 2027-2030 Transportation Improvement Program.

AAMPO has launched an interactive mapping tool to make it easier for the public to explore and comment on proposed transportation projects that may affect daily travel. This is a chance to help shape where and how transportation dollars are spent in the region. Visit www.alamoareampo.org/yourmove to review projects that have been presented to the AAMPO for consideration and to vote for their top projects.

One of the projects is proposed improvements to FM 1863 at US 281 (Project No. 43, see below). Demonstrating public support for this project is helpful during the evaluation process of selecting projects to be funded.

IMPORTANT: Project No. 43 on the list proposes construction of through lanes, turn lanes, and pedestrian/cyclist accommodations on FM 1863 between US 281 and Wiley Rd. Rapid development in the City of Bulverde and surrounding portions of unincorporated Comal and Bexar Counties has led to a significant degradation in the level of service provided on this portion of FM 1863. The proposed improvements are urgently needed to restore functionality and protect public safety on this roadway. All area residents should consider voting for and commenting on Project No. 43 on the AAMPO website: www.alamoareampo.org/yourmove.

The public should also consider attending tonight's Comal County Public Meeting to show support for the project. DETAILS:
** Date: Tuesday, June 17, 2025
** Time: Doors open at 5:30pm - Presentation at 6:00pm
** Location: New Braunfels Civic Center

I would like to share a statement prepared by my political opponent Ray Jeffrey for the race for Bulverde City Council Place 1.

I had a pleasant meeting with him where he shared his desire to drop out of the race. Even though it is too late to remove his name from the ballot, Ray has decided to endorse me for City Council Place 1.

There has been a lot of discussion about growth and infrastructure recently, my response to this is as follows.

We need to keep pressure on TXDOT to address our traffic concerns, and Bulverde needs to have a greater presence and stronger voice with the MPO Metropolitan Planning Organization which receives federal dollars, to ensure we have our fair share of federal dollars as well. The city lost its voice with TXDOT and the MPO when we lost our public works director Tim Parker and we need to reestablish this connection. As for city roads, we need to push for increased funding. As a councilman I will push for more joint workshops between council and P&Z dedicated to focusing our capital improvement funding. Currently the Public Works Director picks and chooses funding, and I think council needs more of a say in the process. Bulverde is squarely in the Edwards Aquifer Contributing zone, and we play a critical role in recharging the Edwards and our local Aquifers. It is important to me that the city implements lower impact development practices such as permeable pavements, rain gardens, and bioswales to help improve water filtration the second it lands on a surface instead of sliding along impermeable surfaces catching pollutants and increasing water velocity. The city also needs to mandate more beneficial reuse water in new development, instead of TLAP and Discharge Permits. The city has beneficial reuse for singing hills but we still discharge a lot of water, this is because it wasn't plumbed with purple pipe to the residential sector, just the commercial and open spaces. We need to fight to get more approval from the state to enable purple pipe to residential area. One thing the city does have is its Sewer CCN, the city is currently working on plans to expand the sewer plant. I would like to expand the sewer CCN along the 46 and highway 281 corridor, not only would this help protect the environment, it would give us a tool for controlling growth better. On the topic of water, some of you might not know that the city fought a long hard battle and won a water CCN permit from the state granting the city total control of all the water for not only Bulverde, but all of western comal county. Something that I have a completely different opinion on than my opponent is that it was a catastrophic mistake to sell this water permit to San Jose Water, which is a California Based for profit company. The city and those in western comal county have suffered with the effect of this decision ever since. Having control over water is the most valuable tool the city of Bulverde could have ever had.
