Although the storm that devastated the City of Richland Springs and the surrounding unincorporated area was certainly a major disaster to our county it does not rise to the required affected area level for FEMA.

We have issued a Disaster Declaration Notice and request for assistance to the Governor’s office for all those affected by the storm. We are uncertain as to what aid the state is able to offer, but we hope to at least get access to SBA loans with their very low interest rates and long-term payback.

At the encouragement of the Keep San Saba Beautiful (KSSB) Commission, the 2018 San Saba Elementary 4th grade class has taken part in Keep Texas Beautiful's "Waste in Place" curriculum for several days in May through lessons taught by their teachers in the school setting.

The mission of KSSB is to educate and engage citizens to take responsibility for improving their community environment. It's fun to begin this learning experience with our local school children!

A note on the courthouse restoration financing: the county’s finance manager, Mr. Vince Vialle, requested bids from 46 banks. The winning bid, at a very competitive interest rate of 2.450%, was from The Bank & Trust in Sonora, TX, whose president happens to be our own Brady Johnson.

In recent communications with me, Brady has referred to himself as both: "An Old Armadillo" and “Eleanor and Jerry’s oldest and smartest child.” He did add a “lol” (laugh out loud) at the end of that.
