The City of Buda sends our condolences to the friends and family of longtime Buda Resident Tommy Poer. Ms. Tommy (as she was affectionately referrred to by City staff) passed away last week. She served on City Council, the Historic Preservation Commission, the Buda Bond Advisory Committee, the Buda Economic Corporation Board and numerous other boards and committees. The self-proclaimed "Busy Body _____ of Buda, she was never afraid to voice her opinion. Ms. Tommy was a fixture at Buda City Council meetings. In 2017 she moved into an assisted living facility in the Austin area and at that time City Council proclaimed February 7, 2017 Tommy Poer day. A true civic leader, Ms. Tommy will be deeply missed.

The City of Buda continues to experience a scam involving a caller who is spoofing City of Buda phone numbers. Spoofing is when a caller deliberately falsifies the information transmitted to your caller ID display to disguise their identity. If someone calls you from a City of Buda number claiming that your social security number has been compromised and/or you have outstanding payments, or asks for any personal information, this is a scam. You can ask for the callerโs name, hang up and call the City back with the information you received. You are also encouraged to report this to the Buda Police Department at 512-393-7896.
Remember, the City of Buda will never request your personal information over the phone; residents are able to make secure payments on our website for all utility and traffic ticket matters.

Governor Greg Abbott announced additional reopening plans for Texas. The determining factor in reopening is based on the percentage of hospitalizations in each of the stateโs 22 regions. If COVID Hospitalizations are less than 15% of all hospitalizations for 7 consecutive days, then that region is safe enough to allow additional openings. The percentage of COVID hospitalizations in the Austin region is 3.7% and has remained under 15% for 7 consecutive days. Therefore, our region can precede with the additional openings outlined below.

The Governor announced new visitation guidance for eligible nursing homes, assisted living facilities, intermediate care facilities, home and community-based service providers, and inpatient hospice effective Thursday, September 24th. Under the new rules, residents will be allowed to designate up to two essential family caregivers who will be provided necessary training to allow them to safely go inside a facility for a scheduled visit, including in the residentโs room, to help ensure their loved oneโs physical, social, and emotional needs are being met. Designated caregivers will not be required to maintain physical distancing, but only one caregiver can visit a resident at a time.
A long-term care facility resident (or legal representative) can designate the essential caregiver, who can be a family member, friend, or other individual. Facilities are required to train essential caregivers on the proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and other infection control measures. Proper PPE must be used at all times during these scheduled visits, and the caregiver must test negative for COVID-19 within the previous 14 days before the initial visit.
For general visitors who are not a designated essential caregiver, these updated emergency rules will allow approved facilities to schedule outdoor no contact visits, open window visits, or indoor visitation with the use of plexiglass safety barriers to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Physical contact between residents and general visitors is not permitted. Facilities also must continue to meet all additional visitation requirements outlined in the emergency rules.

Governor Abbott added that citizens must continue the following safety practices:
Staying home if you are sick
- Sanitizing your hands
- Maintaining safe distances
- Wearing a mask
The Lower Rio Grande Valley, Victoria, and Laredo are the only regions in Texas not allowed to precede with additional openings due to the continued high percentage of COVID-19 Hospitalizations.

Effective Monday, Aug. 24, 2020, Stage 1 Water Restrictions will go into effect for City of Buda water customers in accordance with the Cityโs adopted Water Resource Management and Drought Response Ordinance.

Hope4 Hays County Veterans Program |
|
(Information Taken From Hays County Press Release)
The Hays County Veterans Service Office has created the โHope4 Hays County Veteransโ program for U.S. military veterans and surviving spouses.
Hays County Veteran Service Officer Jude Prather said the program is designed to help with past due rent, mortgage, utilities or car payments, thanks to a $100,000 grant from the Texas Veterans Commission Fund for Veterans Assistance.
โItโs important we help our former military brothers and sisters,โ Prather said. โThis program will be a bridge to help our veterans and their families. When we served, we watched each otherโs backs. During these difficult times, the Hope4 program will continue that legacy.โ
Retired Air Force 1st Sergeant Wesley Matthews, M.S.W from the Hays County Veteran Service Office will manage this assistance program while also connecting veterans to other services available for them and their families.
โOur goal is to offer hope to Hays County Veterans while supplying them with solutions, a workable budget, and plan moving forward,โ Matthews said.
About Hope4 Hays County Veterans: This program is supported by a grant from the Texas Veterans Commission Fund for Veteransโ Assistance. The Fund for Veteransโ Assistance provides grants to organizations serving veterans and their families. For more information, visit www.TVC.Texas.gov.
