A public hearing took place last week on the development of an Emergency Service District in Bergheim, and more than 30 residents and Bergheim VFD volunteers filled the commissioners’ court with mixed messages.
The residents of Bergheim successfully have petitioned the county to have a proposition on the November ballot to form an Emergency Service District established to cover the Bergheim Volunteer Fire Department’s Service area. Three hundred signatures were required to call for the Kendall County Commissioners to add the proposition.
This is the first big significant step the volunteer fire department had made toward the item appearing on the November election ballot in a more than year-long process of trying to get an ESD formed in the Bergheim area.
