Williamson County commissioners appointed board members Feb. 7 to two new emergency services districts near Cedar Park that voters created in November.

Prior to the creation of the ESDs, the neighborhoods, which are in Cedar Park's extraterritorial jurisdiction, had received emergency services from the Cedar Park Fire Department without a contract.

Commissioners appointed Carlos R. Garza, Thomas W. Griffiths II, Evelyn Brengle, Mitzi Jones and Doris Rapp to ESD No. 11, which includes the Shenandoah neighborhood south of Cedar Park.

For ESD No. 12, which includes Breakaway, Caballo Ranch, Whippoorwill, Lakewood Country Estates, The Place, Sam Bass and other neighborhoods east of US 183, the commissioners court appointed Daniel W. Martillotti, Kurt Michael Prossner, Anthony Clark and Michael Airhart.

Precinct 2 Commissioner Cynthia Long said the ESD will have a drawing at their first meetings to determine who will serve two-year terms and who will serve one-year terms.
