The applicant seeks authorization to extent the date by which completion of construction of the authorized reservoir must occur, from the current date of August 10,1998 to August 10, 2002. The proposed 631 acre-foot reservoir is to be used for domestic and livestock purposes and is to be located on Sandy Creek, a tributary of Flat Creek, tributary of the Neches River, Neches River Basin, approximately 10 miles northeast of Athens in Henderson County, Texas.

Notice of Temporary Water Rights Applications

BUCKHORN GOLF II, LTD. has applied to the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission (TNRCC) for a temporary water use permit to divert and use not to exceed 160 acre-feet of water within a one-year period at a maximum rate of 500 gallons per minute (1.1 cubic feet per second) from the Guadalupe River in Kendall County, Texas. Water is requested to be diverted from a point within a reach of the river between the IH-10 crossing near Comfort, Texas and a point approximately one mile downstream from the crossing. This reach is approximately 14 miles northwest of Boerne, Texas and just southeast of Comfort, Texas. The specific diversion point will be determined prior to use of water. This water will supplement use by the applicant of effluent from Kendall County Water Control and Improvement District Number One for irrigation of a proposed golf course. In order to be consistent with conditions included in recently granted water rights on the Guadalupe River, any granted temporary permit will include a condition indicating that diversions of water during the months of February through June would only be authorized when the flow of the Guadalupe River at .S. Geological Survey Gaging Station Number 08167000 at Comfort, Texas equals or exceeds 60 cubic feet per second and that diversions of water during other months would only be authorized when the flow of the river at the gage equals or exceeds 50 cubic feet per second. The permit will also include a condition that the South Texas Watermaster be contacted prior to diversion. All of the water right holders with diversion points on the Guadalupe River between the IH-10 crossing in Comfort down to Canyon Reservoir will receive copies of this notice. The temporary permit, if issued, would be junior to all senior and superior water rights and subordinate to instream needs.

Request for Proposals for a Public Information and Education Strategic Plan for the Texas Commission on Volunteerism and Community Service

The Texas Workforce Commission (TWC), pursuant to the authority granted in section 302.002, Labor Code, and Chapter 2308, Government Code, solicits proposals for the development of and assistance with implementation of a Strategic Plan for Public Information and Education for the Texas Commission on Volunteerism and Community Service (TxCVCS). The Strategic Plan for Public Information and Education project (the Project) shall guide the provision of information to the public of services, programs and events sponsored by TxCVCS and its subordinate programs, as well as provide information regarding the benefits of citizen involvement in community-based organizations working to solve local social problems.

Historical background

TxCVCS was created in 1994 to provide oversight for AmeriCorps national service programs funded through the Corporation for National Service, a federal agency. AmeriCorps programs provide site-based community service designed to solve community problems in the area of education, human needs, public safety and the environment. For program year 1998/1999 (Sep 98 through Dec 99), TxCVCS provides program oversight, monitoring and evaluation for 53 sub-grantee programs across the state.

Beginning with Governor Bush's Executive Order, GWB96-9, dated November 14, 1996, TxCVCS assumed responsibility for promoting citizen service and volunteerism as a means of community problem solving. Current responsibilities assigned include:

1. Serving as the state's liaison to the Corporation for National Service, applying for funding under the National and Community Service Act of 1993, overseeing Texas' participation in the AmeriCorps programs, and preparing a comprehensive service plan for the state.

2. Providing technical assistance, education, information and other support to Texas' extensive volunteer community, and improving and strengthening the state's volunteerism and community service infrastructure.

3. Promoting innovative, model programs and initiatives that address Texas' educational, public safety, human and environmental needs.

4. Working closely with faith-based and private charities, community-based groups, voluntary associations, educational entities and other organizations to promote volunteerism and community service based not on the institutions of government, but on the institutions of civil society to:

(a) encourage community service and volunteer participation as a means of community and state problem-solving.

(b) promote and support voluntary involvement in various programs throughout the state.

(c) promote the ethic of service and volunteerism among youth.

Current programs and initiatives of TxCVCS include:

1. Development and management of the AmeriCorps national service program, a statewide network of community-based organizations funded by the Corporation for National Service through TxCVCS.

2. Planning and production of the annual Governor's Volunteer Leadership Conference, a forum to promote the professional management of volunteer programs by government agencies, non-profits, universities and colleges and corporations.

3. Planning and production of the annual Governor's Volunteer Awards. These awards are given to individuals and groups for exemplary voluntary service.

4. Management of Texas' Pledge, the state-level response to the President's Summit for America's Future held in Philadelphia in 1997. TxCVCS works closely with America's Promise the Alliance for Youth to help Texas communities deliver the five fundamental resources for youth identified in the campaign: 1) an ongoing relationship with a caring adult, 2) safe places and structured activities, 3) a healthy start in life, 4) marketable skills through education, and 5) an opportunity to give back to the community through service.

5. Planning and management of the Governor's Mentoring Initiative, a statewide campaign to support grassroots mentoring programs across the state. The Governor's Mentoring Initiative is a part of Lone Star Leaders, a series of children's initiatives sponsored by Governor Bush.

6. Promotion of the TxServe project, a collaboration with the Charles A. Dana Center of the University of Texas at Austin. TxServe is a comprehensive web-based information and referral system listing social service, volunteer and service organizations across Texas.

7. Strategic partnerships with state-wide organizations which promote volunteerism and service, such as the Texas Association of Volunteer Centers, the United Way of Texas, the Texas Association of Non-profit Organizations and the Directors of Volunteers in Agencies to promote the expansion of volunteer centers.

TxCVCS is housed within the Texas Workforce Commission and is directed by a board of Commissioners appointed by the Governor.

Although TxCVCS programs are well received within the community, and certain events, such as the Governor's Volunteer Leadership Conference, enjoy state-wide recognition, TxCVCS has identified a strong need for an integrated public information and education campaign to inform the community of the intrinsic value of voluntary citizen action and community service. By increasing awareness of the full range of TxCVCS program offerings, the public information and education effort of TxCVCS will enhance the ability of Texans to solve community problems through innovative public-private collaborations.

Goals of the Public Information and Education Campaign

Goals of TxCVCS' public information and education project include:

Establish TxCVCS as the model and authority on promoting and managing community service and volunteerism in Texas.

Continually and consistently develop and implement communications strategies which support TxCVCS' programs as they respond to ever-changing needs of Texas' communities.

Communicate the ability of TxCVCS and its programs to positively impact human needs and issues, and demonstrate TxCVCS' value in promoting community service and volunteerism as a means of helping communities to solve their own problems.

Focus, guide and promote TxCVCS' mission and programs through a variety of communications channels including publications, the World Wide Web, public service announcements, press releases and speeches.

Foster strong and lasting relationships with partner organizations, the public and the media in order to leverage the value of service and volunteerism throughout the state.
