Llano County roundup: grants, security purchases, easements and routine votes

Llano County Commissioners on April 10 approved a range of administrative items, accepted a grant, denied several per‑diem reimbursements and addressed two replat applications.

The court unanimously accepted a $17,000 grant from the Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) to provide eight automated external defibrillators (AEDs) and nine first‑aid kits for county locations, with a 20% match not to exceed $3,400. Commissioner Mike Sandoval moved the acceptance and Commissioner Jerry Don Moss seconded.

The court approved purchasing four handheld metal detectors and three walk‑through detectors for Justice of the Peace courtrooms for $13,175, using $10,000 from the Justice of the Peace Court Security fund and $3,175 from unallocated funds (motion by Commissioner Linda Raschke; second by Commissioner Peter Jones).

The court approved granting an easement to the City of Llano to run a sewer line to a pump station on county property, and separately allowed the Colorado River Municipal Water District to build an office within its existing easement on Llano ISD school lands in Tom Green County; both items passed unanimously.

The court denied three per‑diem reimbursement requests because no purchase order had been issued before travel: Kyle Cox and Suzanne Wesson ($75.50 each); Eric Van Pelt ($121.50); and Taylor Osbourn ($378.15). The denials were made by individual motions on the record and each passed unanimously.

On subdivision matters, the court held public hearings on two replats. A replat of multiple lots in Buchanan Lake Village (to be known as 824A) was tabled by unanimous vote after the public hearing. A replat in Kingsland Estates to create Lots 185A, 185B and 186A was approved unanimously.

The meeting closed without holding the posted executive session and adjourned at 10:16 a.m.
