Residents and guests packed into the city hall in Mountain City Monday evening to hear more about the proposed interlocal agreement with the city of Kyle and Hays County involving a transfer of extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ).
Emotions ran high because the deal, as written by Kyle in conjunction with Hays County, would allow Kyle to absorb the ETJ where the Anthem / Clark Wilson development is planned. In exchange, Mountain City, which has about 650 homes, would gain some infrastructure improvements, including having Hays County fix and pave Mountain City’s roads and the ability to connect with Kyle’s water and wastewater services.
