The public hearing set for a proposed Bandera County Emergency Services District in Pct. 2 has been cancelled.
A petition for the creation of the ESD was filed with Bandera County by the Lakehills ESD committee. According to the Bandera County Clerk’s Office, the petition has been withdrawn.
The proposal incorporated all of Pct. 2, however some concerns arose with the ESD committee and volunteer fire chiefs regarding the boundary lines between Lakehills and Pipe Creek. The deadline to place the ESD proposal on the November election ballot is Aug. 18, which cannot be met due to statutory requirements for public hearings.
