The Hays County Commissioners Court met in regular session to approve the creation of a no dumping zone in the area adjacent to Old Bastrop Highway and to authorize funding in response to an emergency need following the recent winter storm.
During Tuesday's meeting, the commissioners held a lengthy, summary discussion about how to proceed in making sure adequate funding was going to be available in days to come to pay for debris removal associated with the recent winter storm that hit the county from Jan. 30-Feb. 2.
Hays County Judge Ruben Becerra issued a local disaster declaration for the county on Feb. 3 in response to the reported damage associated with the storm. During the discussion, the commissioners considered a motion that would allow the county to tap into its General Fund Reserves that may be utilized in an emergency capacity.
