Kerr County commissioners met on Monday morning for their first regular session since the devastating 4th of July flooding.
County Judge Rob Kelly said emergency management continued to be an ongoing process in the county.
"Search and rescue remains our top priority," he explained. "And that's what we were doing yesterday. We've moved on to also include recovery -- and that's where we had people out in the river basin doing a lot of work. We're trying to get a handle on things."
Kerr County Sheriff Larry Leitha also updated the community on the timeline moving forward.
"How long is it gonna take? Who knows? I think we'll still go strong for another month or two ... up to maybe six months winding down, as we move on," he said.
Leitha added that the state and federal government have provided the resources and assets needed to continue efforts.
The county also approved overtime pay for exempt and non-exempt county employees who have worked extra since July 4.
