The Hays County Commissioners Court reappointed members of the Hays County Historical Commission, discussed the local distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine and proclaimed Jan. 18 as Martin Luther King Jr. Day during its Jan. 5 meeting.Â
The Indigenous Cultures Institute and the Tejano Committee of the Hays County Historical Commission asked for reappointments to be postponed due to not having its applications reviewed or by having applications denied, even though the organizations believe their applications fit the requirements.
Dr. Mario Garza, the principal founder of the Indigenous Cultures Institute and the Board of Elderâs Chair, did not attend the meeting but County Clerk Elaine Cárdenas read his statement, verifying his reasons for wanting to delay reappointment.
