Hays County Emergency Services Director Mike Jones announced in Tuesday’s commissioners court meeting that 25,334 Hays County residents have been vaccinated against COVID-19.
Of the 25,334, 15,000 were vaccinated by Hays County. The remainder were vaccinated by registering in other counties.
Hays County’s vaccine clinic has continued to distribute second doses; around 829 each day this week at their clinic in Wimberley. Next week they will head back to the Performing Arts Center in Kyle.
The commissioners moved to set aside $15,000 from contingencies for expenses related to vaccine programs including feeding volunteers and additional supplies of syringes, needles and band-aids. The county has received some such supplies from the state, but Director of Countywide Operations Tammy Crumley said sometimes they are not receiving enough supplies or they are not adequate.

The San Marcos City Council voted unanimously to grant a temporary waiver of permit fees for plumbing repairs to damages from last week’s winter storm.
“We believe that is going to be very beneficial for our residents that are faced with some very unprecedented and very challenging repairs in businesses and homes,” City Manager Bert Lumbreras said.
In other business, the councilmembers approved a resolution expressing support for exploring the possibility of establishing an Indigenous Cultures Center in collaboration with the Indigenous Cultures Institute. The motion passed 5-2 with Councilmembers Mark Gleason and Saul Gonzalez voting no.

The San Marcos City Council approved a resolution in support of the possible establishment of an Indigenous culture center at its meeting on Feb. 24.Â
The resolution proposes the possibility of the Indigenous Cultures Institute and the city co-applying for Hays County Parks and Open Space Bond funding and for city property to be used for the project. At this time, the approval of the resolution does not commit the city to provide any funding or land and only supports the Indigenous Cultures Institute as it pursues funding with Hays County.
