BY ANITA MILLER Early voting for the Nov. 5 election ends on Friday, Nov. 1, and Tuesday is Election Day. Hays County voters may then visit any Voting Center between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. to cast their ballots, providing they have an acceptable form of identification.

Texas voters will decide 10 constitutional amendments as well as city and school board elections.

Kyle voters will choose between incumbent Dex Ellison and challenger Yvonne Flores-Cale for the position of City Council District 1; and between incumbent Robert Rizo and challenger Amanda L. Stark for the position of City Council District 3.

In Buda, voters will decide between Terry Cummings and Jeffery K. Morales for the position of Single Member District C. The incumbent is not running for re-election.

In the Wimberley ISD, voters will choose between Suzanne White and Will Conley for Place 4.

Incumbent Joe Malone is running unopposed for Place 5.

In Woodcreek, voters will elect either Brent H. Pulley, Chrys Grummert or Charlie LeCompte for an at-large city council position. Gloria Whitehead is running unopposed for Woodcreek Mayor.

Some Hays voters will also decide whether to expand the service area of Hays County Emergency Services District No. 9. Another election that applies to certain Hays voters are for or against designating the Headwaters Municipal Utility District in the Dripping Springs Extra Territorial Jurisdiction and whether or not to issue $138.5 million in water, wastewater and drainage system facilities to serve the Headwaters “commercial defined area.”

Public Safety bond project delayed

BY ANITA MILLER

Though still within the overall budgetary parameters of the public safety bonds that Hays County voters approved in 2016, expansion at the Hays County Jail on Uhland Road in San Marcos as well as the construction of the Public Safety Building on Wonder World Drive, also in San Marcos, required change work orders, which the Commissioners Court

passed with unanimous votes Oct. 22.

According to Codi M. Newsom of ECM International, who gave an update to commissioners and County Judge Ruben Becerra, progress on the jail addition has been

delayed for about five months due to a combination of factors, and that slowdown “trickled down” to the other portions of the project like the training building and renovation of the existing jail facility.

County signs on to Trinity Aquifer sustainability study

BY ANITA MILLER The Middle Trinity Aquifer has risen and fallen within the past 10 years but it is declining overall, the principal hydrogeologist for the Barton Springs Edwards Aquifer Conservation District (BSEACD) told the Hays County Commissioners Court during their Oct. 22 meeting.

Brian Smith put up a slide showing the hydrology of the Middle Trinity between 2008 and 2018 as part of a presentation on a long-term study of the sustainability of the resource ahead of a vote by the court to dedicate $58,000 of the county’s money toward the effort.

affecting the pace of construction was the necessity of moving existing utility lines. While Grande Communications and San Marcos Electric Utility moved their lines ahead of a deadline, Spectrum did not. “Spectrum didn’t

move their lines until the end of July 2018,” so construction was not able to proceed.” She added that while waiting on Spectrum, the contractors rescheduled other work.

While the existence of the utility lines was known, Newsom said workers also encountered sewer lines that they did not know were there.

Cooperation agreement for Regional Animal Shelter gets green light

The San Marcos Regional Animal Shelter was the subject of an Interlocal Cooperation Agreement approved by the Hays County Commissioners Court on Tuesday between the county and the cities of San Marcos, Kyle and Buda.

“We’ve been working on this for quite some time with our partners,” Pct. 1 Commissioner Debbie Gonzales Ingalsebe said prior to the vote. “This just lays out everyone’s responsibility regarding animal control and the animal shelter.”

“I think we’ve accomplished a lot recently,” Pct. 3 Commissioner Lon Shell said. “This is just the beginning for all of our ‘no kill’ efforts. This kind of starts us off, gets us in the right direction.”

Gonzales Ingalsbe noted that in the coming months, specific components and programs that are part of the larger “no kill” effort will be brought to the court for discussion.

No county funds outside what was already budgeted were required for the action.

Below is a sample of events reported by law enforcement from Oct. 21 through Oct. 27, 2019. The location is where the event was reported or responded to and may not necessarily be where the event occured.

NOTICE OF APPLICATION AND PRELIMINARY DECISION FOR TPDES PERMIT FOR MUNICIPAL WASTEWATER RENEWAL PERMIT NO. WQ0015293001 APPLICATION AND PRELIMINARY DECISION. Aqua Texas, Inc., 1106 Clayton Lane, Suite 400W, Austin, Texas 78723, has applied to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for a renewal of Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) Permit No. WQ0015293001 which authorizes the discharge of treated domestic wastewater at a daily average flow not to exceed 540,000 gallons per day. TCEQ received this application on August 6, 2019.

The facility is located 2,500 feet north of the intersection of State Highway 21 and Yarrington Road, in Hays County, Texas 78640. The treated effluent is discharged to Hemphill Creek; thence to Morrison Creek; thence to Lower San Marcos River in Segment No. 1808 of the Guadalupe River Basin. The unclassified receiving water use is limited aquatic life use for Hemphill Creek. The designated uses for Segment No. 1808 are primary contact recreation, public water supply, and high aquatic life use. All determinations are preliminary and subject to additional review and/or revisions. This link to an electronic map of the site or facility’s general location is provided as a public courtesy and is not part of the application or notice. For the exact location, refer to the application. https://tceq.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/ index.html? id=db5bac44afbc468bbddd360f8168250f&marker=-97.849166%2C29.923611&level=12 The TCEQ Executive Director has completed the technical review of the application and prepared a draft permit. The draft permit, if approved, would establish the conditions under which the facility must operate. The Executive Director has made a preliminary decision that this permit, if issued, meets all statutory and regulatory requirements. The permit application, Executive Director’s preliminary decision, and draft permit are available for viewing and copying at Hays County Government Center, Law Library, 712 South Stagecoach Trail, San Marcos, Texas.

PUBLIC COMMENT / PUBLIC MEETING. You may submit public comments or request a public meeting about this application. The purpose of a public meeting is to provide the opportunity to submit comments or to ask questions about the application. TCEQ holds a public meeting if the Executive Director determines that there is a significant degree of public interest in the application or if requested by a local legislator. A public meeting is not a contested case hearing.

OPPORTUNITY FOR A CONTESTED CASE HEARING. After the deadline for submitting public comments, the Executive Director will consider all timely comments and prepare a response to all relevant and material, or significant public comments. Unless the application is directly referred for a contested case hearing, the response to comments will be mailed to everyone who submitted public comments and to those persons who are on the mailing list for this application. If comments are received, the mailing will also provide instructions for requesting a contested case hearing or reconsideration of the Executive Director’s decision. A contested case hearing is a legal proceeding similar to a civil trial in a state district court.

TO REQUEST A CONTESTED CASE HEARING, YOU MUST INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING ITEMS IN YOUR REQUEST: your name, address, phone number; applicant's name and proposed permit number; the location and distance of your property/activities relative to the proposed facility; a specific description of how you would be adversely affected by the facility in a way not common to the general public; a list of all disputed issues of fact that you submit during the comment period; and the statement "[I/we] request a contested case hearing." If the request for contested case hearing is filed on behalf of a group or association, the request must designate the group’s representative for receiving future correspondence; identify by name and physical address an individual member of the group who would be adversely affected by the proposed facility or activity; provide the information discussed above regarding the affected member’s location and distance from the facility or activity; explain how and why the member would be affected; and explain how the interests the group seeks to protect are relevant to the group’s purpose.

Following the close of all applicable comment and request periods, the Executive Director will forward the application and any requests for reconsideration or for a contested case hearing to the TCEQ Commissioners for their consideration at a scheduled Commission meeting.

The Commission may only grant a request for a contested case hearing on issues the requestor submitted in their timely comments that were not subsequently withdrawn. If a hearing is granted, the subject of a hearing will be limited to disputed issues of fact or mixed questions of fact and law relating to relevant and material water quality concerns submitted during the comment period. TCEQ may act on an application to renew a permit for discharge of wastewater without providing an opportunity for a contested case hearing if certain criteria are met.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR ACTION. The Executive Director may issue final approval of the application unless a timely contested case hearing request or request for reconsideration is filed.

If a timely hearing request or request for reconsideration is filed, the Executive Director will not issue final approval of the permit and will forward the application and request to the TCEQ Commissioners for their consideration at a scheduled Commission meeting.

MAILING LIST. If you submit public comments, a request for a contested case hearing or a reconsideration of the Executive Director’s decision, you will be added to the mailing list for this specific application to receive future public notices mailed by the Office of the Chief Clerk. In addition, you may request to be placed on: (1) the permanent mailing list for a specific applicant name and permit number; and/or (2) the mailing list for a specific county. If you wish to be placed on the permanent and/or the county mailing list, clearly specify which list(s) and send your request to TCEQ Office of the Chief Clerk at the address below.

All written public comments and public meeting requests must be submitted to the Office of the Chief Clerk, MC 105, Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, P.O. Box 13087, Austin, TX 78711-3087 or electronically at www14.tceq.texas.gov/epic/ eComment/ within 30 days from the date of newspaper publication of this notice.

INFORMATION AVAILABLE ONLINE. For details about the status of the application, visit the Commissioners’ Integrated Database at www.tceq.texas.gov/goto/cid. Search the database using the permit number for this application, which is provided at the top of this notice.

Box 13087, Austin, Texas 78711-3087. Any personal information you submit to the TCEQ will become part of the agency’s record; this includes email addresses.

Tigers football runs past Seguin 66-28

BY SHANE SCHOLWINSKI

Scoring 42 points in the fourth quarter and amassing 382 yards on the ground, including eight rushing touchdowns, Dripping Springs (7-1) rose to a district defining 66-28 win over the Seguin Matadors (4-4) last Friday night at Tigers Stadium.

“They put great effort in this week, and to see a positive result is phenomenal for these guys,” Dripping Springs head coach Galen Zimmerman said after the win. “You can kind of see the excitement and the energy, and it’s really because they came to work and they worked so hard this week. So, I’m happy for them.

Seeing guys smile from ear to ear is the phenomenal part.”

After watching their 17-6 halftime lead quickly turn to a 20-17 deficit due to back-toback scoring drives in the third quarter by Seguin, Dripping Springs offense answered with two rushing scores within four minutes that would ultimately change the rest of the game.

A 12-yard touchdown run by Dripping Springs senior running back Curtis Cox, and a 6-yard score on a bulldozing effort by sophomore quarterback Preston Alford sparked the Tigers’ offensive explosion where they outscored the Matadors 49-8 in the final 18 minutes of play, including 42 points in the fourth quarter.

“That was awesome, I just put my head down and I knew I had to get into the end-zone,” Alford recalled about his early fourth quarter touchdown where he bulldozed a Matador defender to get into the end zone.

Alford led the charge for the Tigers offense with 168 yards on the ground on 23 carries and had four rushing touchdowns, three of which came in the fourth quarter, while also adding 90 passing yards on six completions. Alford credited much of his success on the night to the play of Dripping Springs offensive line.

“O-line, shout out O-line,” Alford said. “I mean the whole team collectively, we played

together and we got the job done.”

The other counterpart of the Tigers’ potent rushing attack was Cox, who had 184 yards rushing and two scores on 22 carries. Cox also praised the lineman up front for creating opportunities for the Tigers’ playmakers.

“They definitely stepped it up this game,” Cox said about the offensive line unit.

“They knew what we were playing for. They were moving bodies, wide open holes almost every time we ran.”

The Tigers’ veteran offensive line is led by seniors Kevin Kelly, Steven Wright and Keith Bottles, and juniors Jack Masters and CJ Neffendorf. The unit’s dominant play at the line of scrimmage throughout the game did not go unnoticed.

“I felt as the game went on we had a little bit of a size advantage from our offensive line and that we were able to really wear on them a little bit,” Zimmerman said. “I credit the offensive line, the offensive line coaches and how they practiced this week. It was a great four quarters by them.”

The victory keeps the Tigers undefeated at 5-0 in District 12-5A, and gives them sole possession of first place with only two games remaining in the regular season.

Dripping Springs will hit the road this week for a matchup versus Northeast Early College (2-6), at 7:30 p.m.

Family of 12 opens their hearts and home

BY CAMELIA JUAREZ

The King family has a big home, a big family and an even bigger heart.

Chris and Tracy King are the proud parents of 10 children, some adopted and others welcoming their new siblings. They range from 16 years old to their latest baby, 2.

“It’s a team effort because raising 10 kids, it doesn’t feel super hard to us at all, but it’s a big thing. We need to make sure we’re loving each other and our kids in a really loving, meaningful and intentional way,” Tracy said. “We should always be loving people well. We should always be reaching beyond ourselves to make an impact.”

The Dripping Springs community recognizes the King family when they pull up in their 12-person Nissan Van, otherwise known as the party van.

However, their full house is like most families in many ways, such as being behind on folding laundry, making time to have family dinners and hustling to make it to school before the morning bell.

Every morning, Tracy King wakes up around 5 a.m. to get herself and her nine youngest kiddos ready for the day. A typical morning looks like dropping off the kids at up to five different spots, ranging from school to daycare. By 7:45 a.m., she will arrive at work as a Behavior interventionist for DSISD at Walnut Springs and Dripping Springs elementary schools.

In the evening, the Kings make family time a priority by eating dinner together. Tracy will cook large healthy dinners, perfectly proportional to fill up everyone’s tummy.

“It’s a team effort because raising 10 kids, it doesn’t feel super hard to us at all, but it’s a big thing. We need to make sure we’re loving each other and our kids in a really loving, meaningful and intentional way,” Tracy said. “We should always be loving people well. We should always be reaching beyond ourselves to make an impact.”

–Tracy King, mother of 10 children

Everyone at the dinner table will take turns talking about their day by sharing their high and low points.

A lot of their time together is spent around the kitchen table.

“It’s pretty cute when new people come into our home and one of the little kid says ‘OK, so today I choose the question about my favorite part of the day’ and then they pick the next person to choose another question,” Tracy said. “People will be confused and be like ‘do y’all do this every night?’”

Chris King says they try to make dinner together as much as possible, but extra-curricular activities requirements can rearrange the evening.

For the fall season, three children are involved in either volleyball, baseball or football. Tracy said they still make it to every game and practice.

“We typically always go.

It works out. Sometimes if the game is far, maybe only one parent can make it. Every Friday night, the whole family gets out to watch the football game that my husband is coaching. We sit in the stands, they play and we watch football together,” she said.

As much as the Kings

love family time, they always arrange to spend alone time with each individual child through special date nights.

“My nine-year-old loves Dude Perfect, so me and him went to the Dude Perfect live show in Austin. That was his special outing. My four-year-old saw Frozen on ice with me. Different things like that, we make sure each kid gets their intentional time,” Tracy said.

The kids aren’t the only ones, who need alone time. Chris and Tracy always arrange to have “calendar dates.” Tracy said it’s team work and organization that makes the family so functional.

“Chris is amazing at recognizing and arranging things so I can meet up with my friends or take a nap. We’re very good at recognizing each others’ needs. It’s a team effort because raising 10 kids, doesn’t feel super hard for us, but our marriage and family needs to be taken care of in a really intentional and purposeful way.”

The almost 20-year marriage continues to be the backbone for 10 children who in return “will do anything in the world for us,” Tracy said.

Hays County Womens Center debuts transitional housing

BY CAMELIA JUAREZ

For the first time in Hays County, up to 18 families will have access to a transitional multi-family apartment style complex paired with the vast resources of the Hays Caldwell Womens Center.

After 20 years of planning, the long-time goal of transitional housing is now about a year away.

However, a groundbreaking is contingent on raising $800,000 in donations.

The 22,500 square foot complex will be located behind the HCWC main campus. The majority of the units will be three bedroom units and a limited number will have one or two bedrooms.

Families with young children will be prioritized for transitional housing in an effort to stop the cycle for silent victims, otherwise known as young children in abusive situations said HCWC Director of Community Partnerships Melissa Rodriguez.

“The ultimate goal is to provide access to these services to prevent future

“The ultimate goal is to provide access to these services to prevent future trauma of children growing up in abusive homes. They are our target population. We want to provide support for their parent in order to get access to everything they need to provide a safer environment for their child.”

They are our target population. We want to provide support for their parent in order to get access to everything they need to provide a safer environment for their child. We are working to give the parent skills to live in the community permanently,” Rodriguez said.

that varies. Some people need a little time or some people need to go back to school or job training, and we can provide the time to get those resources,” Rodriguez said.

Funds for the project are less than a million dollars shy thanks to the generous donations from the community. The city of San Marcos donated $400,000 and Hays County donated $600,000 for a total of a $1 million towards better living for families. The McCoy family donated $1.5 million.

Other nonprofit groups, such as Home Aid have helped lighten the load by providing ways to cut costs on furniture and construction.

Rapid response center awarded $8.6 million grant SUBMITTED REPORT

The Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training (ALERRT) Center at Texas State University has received a $8.7 million grant from the the United States Department of Justice's Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) Preparing for Active Shooter Situations (PASS) program.

The grant will support ALERRT's Integrated Response Training Program, which provides training across the country to improve rapid response to active shooter events.

“This grant will allow us to prepare law enforcement, fire and EMS personnel across the country to respond to active shooter events through integrated training,” said

io-based training that prepares officers and other first responders to safely and effectively handle active-shooter and other violent threats.

PASS-funded projects provide training to meet the goal of the 2016 Protecting Our Lives by Initiating COPS Expansion (POLICE) Act by offering “scenario-based, integrated response courses

designed to counter active shooter threats or acts of terrorism against individuals or facilities.”

ALERRT received $8.6 and $5.4 million grants through the POLICE Act in 2018 and 2017, respectively.

The agency was also funded by the Texas Legislature. Blair said ALERRT received $2 million over the next two years.

an interlocal agreement, which is what the court approved, because Jacob’s Well is within Hays County but not within the BSEACD. The hydrology slide presented by Smith was based on wells near Wimberley.

County Judge Ruben Becerra told Smith he appreciated being given the information. “Even at a peak, we were never where we were before,” he said. “It seems there is no full recharge in sight, and as one of the fastest-growing counties in the state, I think that is a very big deal. This is very essential for us as a region.”

jurisdiction Jacob’s Well is located, noted that the study is important now and will be even more so in the future as the county continues to grow and new subdivisions continue to go in. “We’ve seen droughts in the past where we saw wells go dry,” he said. “If we had the same drought we had 10 years ago it would be much worse … if we don’t get ahead of that with science, I’m afraid we will be in a position where there’s nothing we can do to help people.”

Shell also praised the partnerships the county has with the BSEACD, the Texas Water Development Board (TDWB) and others. “We’re going to be relying on those more and more in the future,” he said. “This is just the beginning … I’m looking forward to getting this science done.”

which will include the installation of two monitor wells “upgradient” from Jacob’s Well, one very near the artesian spring and another about a mile away, intends to determine how much water can be withdrawn “without producing an undesired result.”

Sustainability is not so much a scientific term, Smith said, but a science-based tool that policy makers can use “to minimize impacts to water supply wells and impacts to springs and other water resources.”

Such knowledge is crucial to those who are responsible for issuing permits he said. “We need to do the science – is there going to be an impact?”

In addition to water level monitoring the study includes analytical modeling, water sampling, dye tests and other types of groundwater modeling.”

“We need to see what is happening with pumping.

We need to see what’s happening with drought.

How does it impact Jacob’s Well … We need

to better understand the aquifers so we can better manage them,” Smith said, referring to both the Trinity and the Edwards.

According to background agenda information, one of the two wells will be a “multiport” system that will monitor “five or six unique hydrologic zones,” each of which “will be tested for hydraulic conductivity, water levels, and water quality,” and that information will allow for a “detailed analysis of how water moves vertically and horizontally through the aquifers.”

Both will be drilled into the Cow Creek Formation of the Middle Trinity at depths of about 250 feet below the surface.

Once the wells are completed, dye tests will begin, with two or three dyes “injected into caves, recharge features or wells” after which the movement of the dyes into Jacob’s Well and water supply wells downgradient from the injection points will be observed.

in the late spring and early fall of 2018 also factored into the delay, she said.

Meanwhile, construction on the public safety building, which will contain the Emergency Operations Center, has been delayed for about 11 months and that, Newsom said, was largely due to permitting issues. Between the time the bonds were approved and the beginning of construction early this year, she said the city of San Marcos adopted new ordinances that not only address flooding at specific sites but also the impact that flooding could have on areas downstream.

That also added to the delay.

That site, which lies in a flood plain, was also impacted by drainage issues and the fact that work begin under existing FEMA maps which have since been updated. The older, “effective” FEMA maps show the site just inside the 100-year flood zone, which has a 0.2 percent annual chance to flood areas, meaning that there is a 1 percent annual chance of flooding with an average depth of less than one foot or with drainage areas of less than one square mile.

The new maps, scheduled to be made effective early next year, show the site surrounded by a 100-year floodway and not far from the 500-year flood line.

Both the building and the parking lot have been built up four feet, and the road leading into the site will also be built up. When Becerra questioned the accessibility of the EOC when flooding is occurring, Newsom responded that the city of San Marcos was looking at elevating Old Stagecoach Trail as it approaches the site.

It’s now estimated that the jail addition will be substantially complete March 24 of next year and ready for occupancy on April 23, 2020.

However, Newsom noted, the fleet maintenance building at the Uhland Road site has been operational and occupied since July of 2018. It’s now estimated that the jail addition will be substantially complete March 24 of next year and ready for occupancy on April 23, 2020. The training building is expected to be substantially complete by May 31, 2020, and ready for occupancy June 30, 2020.

The jail renovation, meanwhile, is expected to be substantially complete on Aug. 4, 2020 and ready for occupancy on Sept. 3 of next year; while the Public Safety Building’s substantial completion date is July 25, 2020 and its ready for occupancy date is Aug. 24, 2020.

Concerning the change work orders, Newsom said market uncertainties played into rising costs, as did tariffs on steel and aluminum.
