Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Kerrville public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Emergency Management and Flood Response Planning
The city may tap a federal 75/25 cost-share program for riverbank stabilization and voluntary buyouts of flood-prone riverfront homes — bought properties would never be built on again. Formal agreements come back to council later.
Substance Use Recovery Support and Housing Services
The coalition is reviewing vital recovery support systems, including peer support coaches, outpatient services, and MOUD housing through Project Homes, to strengthen local addiction recovery resources.
Flood Recovery and Infrastructure Assessment
City officials are assessing widespread damage from a severe flood that struck Kerrville, impacting streets, utilities, and parks just as the community marked the one-year anniversary of the 2025 flood. Staff are working on temporary utility fixes and evaluating long-term recovery costs.
