Travis County Commissioners Court

June 5, 2007
Item 16

View captioned video.

Now let's call up item 16. I move that we post pen consideration of it for two weeks.

>> second.

>> discussion? All in favor? Show Commissioner Daugherty and Biscoe, voting against, existinger ecrt, commission Commissioner --Commissioner eckhardt, Commissioner Davis present but not voting.

>> sir, we can postpone for two weeks. That is fine. We will do what we can to appease the neighbors. We are not trying to be a bad neighbor, as I indicated by offering to put rainwater collection in.

>> part of it really does seem to be, given a specific fact regarding specific concerns, the question, I think a lot of progress can be made if you try to get together. In the end, all we can do is really act on the facts as we know them. Unfortunately, what we know, what I know, sort of stands out dramatically, last year there was a drought and people were concerned. If you bring in additional homes to the general area, the availability of water becomes more important than had loss year's drought not occurred. At the same time, in the end there are legal standards that come into play and we'll get those answered and addressed by legal counsel and have specific questions in questions in mind before we take action. We can get those answered before. And there are specific county policies we want to be sure are being med to the extent there are areas that we need to apply, we need to look at those and make sure we do our diligence. Staff has preliminarily determined that compliance is met.

>> yes. Thank you for your time. See you in two weeks
