Guadalupe County Judge brings An unexpected surprise under the hood lake associations together to talk about efforts to save the lakes By Cindy Aguirre-Herrera (Seguin) -- Guadalupe County took a step in helping to streamline or bring all lake associations to the same table during a special workshop held Tuesday morning. Discussion was relative to the requirements of establishing possible taxing district and/or funding solutions for the repairs/replacement of the dams. Guadalupe County Judge Kyle Kutscher says the idea for the workshop was to not only make sure that everyone knew what the other one was doing but to also make clear of the county's role in this effort to help save the lakes. "I had previous conversations with some of the lake associations and got different comments, different questions and I think there were different expectations of what the county's involvement needed to be so I wanted to try to pull all of those lake associations together today to put

everything out on the table -- manage expectations of the lake associations, understand what they expected of commissioners court and the county, what the plans and timeline were as the lake associations create these water controlled improvement districts. One big thing that we wanted to answer was is that going to be independent of each lake and have multiple districts which is what they told us today or was there ever a possibility of combining all of those lakes into a single district. I think they outlined in the workshop today some of the the challenges as to why they're focusing on multiple districts. But we wanted to just put everything out in the open so we knew if there were any concerns, any other challenges that needed to be overcome before the lake associations come to the county requesting the commissioners court to take action either on a position or calling an election or the creation of the district," said Kutscher.

Since the very beginning, Kutscher has talked about the county's involvement in trying to find a solution between lake residents and the Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority. Up until a temporary injunction hearing in September, the lakes were facing the threat of having the lakes fully drained after a dam failure on Lake Dunlap back in May and a original failure in Gonzales a few years prior. Kutscher says there were many hours put in behind the scenes trying to come up with a solution and all in an attempt to avoid an appearance in the courtroom. However, an agreement to temporary hold off on the draining was authorized by the courts. That agreement was in hopes that the plaintiffs and GBRA could come up with an alternative plan and avoid a trial in 2020. Kutscher says Tuesday's meeting, again, was just more of a collaborative effort to bring all the lake residents together in hopes of moving forward. He says it was impressive to hear all the latest efforts that are currently in the works. See LAKES, page 3
