And it's full of commissioners talking like this:
COMMISSIONER REEVES: And I will say and, Sheriff, you can correct me if I'm off base on this, the camps have had a very good system of letting down river if there's a rise, they're phoning their competitors or colleagues down river and letting them know what happened. It's informal as you said, but it's been a very good system to let them know over time.
and...
COMMISSIONER MOSER: You know, Buster, we
19 talked about this being bigger than Kerr County, did we
20 want to go to Kendall County and some of the others, and
21 we said no, right now let's don't do that, we have
22 enough complexity within the County. But we certainly
23 want to communicate with them, but to make them part of
24 the study, then all of a sudden it got to be a lot more
25 complicated, and other people want us to have all these
1 kind of fancy engineering models where we're measuring
2 rain gauge and where, you know, we're putting in the
3 topography and the flow rate and the la, la, la, la, la,
4 all that stuff, and we said we're not going to do that,
5 so that was really expensive. Okay.
6 COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Can I remove your
7 engineering hat for a moment and tell you how to do this
8 thing? If it rains four or five inches in one hour get
9 the hell out of the way. It's that simple.
Plenty more where those came from.
They had been told over and over that it was going to happen, and instead, they just decided to "call a competitor" to let them know a flood is coming. There are pages and pages of stuff like this.
