Fisher honored by Colorado
River loodplain organization
Flenniken hands down deferred
conviction for theft of livestock
Members of the Texas
Colorado River Floodplain
Coalition (TCRFC), which
works to prevent and reduce
flood damages in the region,
selected Michael Fisher, Bastrop
County emergency manage-
ment coordinator, as Emergency
Management Coordinator of the
Year for 2007.
As Bastrop County's first
full-time emergency man-
agement coordinator, Fisher
accomplished several objectives
in his first year on the job. He
developed new standards for the
county's emergency manage-
ment program, secured grants
for First Responder training,
coordinated development of
wildfire plans with the U. S.
Forest Service and secured the
purchase of several NOAA All-
Hazard radios for key comity
facilities.
"Mike understands the com-
plexity of developing an effec-
tive Emergency Management
Plan. He has demonstrated his
commitment to the citizens of
Bastrop County through his
understandings of the changing
needs of our county. His profes-
Mike Fisher
sional integ-
rity rally his
teammates to
perform to
their fullest
ability," said
Pet. 1 Comm-
i s s i oner
David
Goertz.
Each year,
this award is
presented to
one individ-
ual from the
coalition's
membership.
■ The
coalition
appreciates Mr. Fisher's contri-
butions and effort to promote
the safety of one of our coali-
tion communities" said TCRFC
Chair Rob Lmdsey, Mills Comity
Judge.
In other coalition news,
TCRFC members have elected
Goertz as the organization's
treasurer for 2007-08.
Other officers elected to two-
year terms include Mills Comity
Judge Robert Lmdsey, chair;
Brian Shirley, Marble Falls city
David Goertz
council member, vice chair;
and Mickey Reynolds. Wharton
County Commissioner, secre-
tary. Lindsey previously served
as vice chair of the coalition and
Shirley, treasurer.
The coalition is a partnership
of more than 50 cities and coun-
ties in the Colorado River basin
and surroundmg areas seeking
better ways to reduce and miti-
gate flood damage. The coali-
tion was formed in response to
a combination of rapid growth,
greatly expanded numbers of
homes and businesses in the
floodplain and devastating floods
in the basm in recent years.
The coalition helped secure
$7.6 million in federal appropri-
ations to the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers for the Lower
Colorado River Basin Study.
The coalition has received more
than $700,000 in federal grants
for development of updated
flood maps and hazard mitiga-
tion planning.
