The Hays County Commissioners Court approved some appointments to its Community Elections Commission Tuesday and laid out a roadmap for others to be brought on board.
The votes came months after the idea of the commission was initially launched. In an effort to achieve diversity, the commission will include individuals to represent municipalities, school districts, the League of Women Voters, political parties and Texas State University as well as representatives of rural areas and the disabled.
Pct. 2 Commissioner Gary Jones nominated Sandra Tenorio, a former mayor of both Kyle and Buda, to be the representative for rural areas. Pct. 1 Commissioner Debbie Gonzales Ingalsbe nominated Sam Tobar to represent the disabled, nothing that Tobar is also a veteran.
County Judge Ruben Becerra nominated Arthur Taylor and Linda Tenorio as his two picks.
Others are expected to be named later.
