Fire Marshal Kory Klabunde said drought conditions look safe so far, but it doesnât take long for the ground to dry out, so people should continue to take precautions with fireworks this July 4th.
âIf youâre shooting fireworks on grass, cut it down as short as possible or wet it down as much as possible, Klabunde said. âJust be safe, have fun and enjoy the holiday.â
The possession, use and sale of fireworks of any kind are illegal in New Braunfels and its extraterritorial jurisdiction, but are allowed in unincorporated areas of Comal and Guadalupe counties unless specific bans are in place.Â
Comal County Commissioners will approve the countyâs 2022 budget planning schedule and issue proclamations honoring corrections officers and small businesses during their weekly meeting on Thursday.
The budget process takes roughly four months and concludes by the end of August. The 2021 budget, totaling $107.988 million, went into effect Jan. 1. It is funded by the 2020 combined tax rate of 35.8515 cents per $100 assessed property valuation, with portions designated for county general operations, jury, indigent health, debt service, and road and flood control funds.Â
 âFirst, the process allows other elected officials to submit (budget) requests and define priorities of their offices for the upcoming year,â County Judge Sherman Krause said. âNext, it provides transparency to the taxpayers who are paying the bills. It gives them opportunity to review what weâre doing and gives them a say in the budget process.â
