As the Hill Country continues to clean up and rebuild after the devastating floods that struck on Independence Day weekend, local businesses and residents in the area have taken charge of the operation in Kerr County.

The local impact: Armour Excavating, a locally owned construction business located in Kerr County, has partnered with King’s Ransom Foundation, a Kerrville nonprofit, to help speed up the cleanup process along the Guadalupe River.

Their goal is to raise $500,000 toward the continued cleanup of flood damage throughout Kerr County, Stephen Day, the owner of the company, told Community Impact.

How it works: Called the Armour Flood Fund, the donations go “directly to the frontline” of heavily damaged areas, Day said.

After donations are sent to King’s Ransom, Armour Excavating is tasked with organizing cleanup efforts using heavy equipment, machinery and volunteers.

Cities, counties and school district boards across Texas are required to provide more notice for public meetings under a new state law aimed at increasing public participation in government affairs.

The details: Local government agencies must post meeting notices at least three business days in advance of the meeting, meaning weekends and holidays do not count toward the minimum posting period.

House Bill 1522, which became law Sept. 1, increases the notice requirement from 72 hours.

The law change is part of “an effort to promote government transparency and citizen participation,” Sen. Lois Kolkhorst, R-Brenham, said during a May 13 legislative hearing.

The local impact: Some city and county governments across Community Impact’s coverage areas are changing their meeting schedules to comply with the new law, including:

• Bastrop City Council
• Conroe City Council
• Fort Bend County Commissioners Court
• Montgomery County Commissioners Court
• The Woodlands Township
