Judge and Commissioners:
This issue arose on Wednesday April 7. I added it as a late agenda item because of some
urgency on the part of Kerrville in needing to deal with failing septic systems. The city
will send Miguel a letter today and we will provide that to you before the meeting.

Dear Commissioners:
Under City Ordinance number 89-12 (now codified as Section 110-56) the City had
previously authorized the County to act as our Authorized Agent for actions related to
management of the On-site Sewage Facilities program ("OSSF"). This provided one set
of rules for everyone. Previously the County chose to contract with the Upper Guadalupe
River Authority ("UGRA") to perform these functions for the County and the City as our
Agent.
Due to the recent changes in how this program is managed by the Kerr County
("Count}') your staff has requested a letter from the City of Kerrville ("City") to serve as
notice of continuing authorization for your Environmental Health office to act as the
City's Authorized Agent for the OSSF program. Under this authority the County
continues to have the authority to establish and collect fees, as may be reasonable to carry
out this program, to be charged to individual customers for services rendered.
Should you have any questions please contact Howard Jackson or Laurence Stufflet at
257-8000.
Sincerely,
Ron K. Patters
City Manager
~~.
