Court agrees to add Stonewall Valley Lane to county road inventory if owners provide $45,000

Commissioner Nanny brought forward a request from residents of Stonewall Valley Lane to add their road to the Tom Green County road inventory. Staff reported the road is about 1.1 miles and meets county specifications after inspection by the road and bridge superintendent for Precincts 2 and 4.

Commissioner Nanny said the established precedent for adoption requires a one‑time payment of $45,000 per mile from property owners; the property owners indicated they are willing to front the money for the initial seal coating job when the county's timeline permits. The court moved and seconded the proposal to add Stonewall Valley Lane to the Tom Green County road inventory contingent upon receipt of $45,000 from the property owners, and the motion passed.

Court members clarified that the payment is a one‑time amount to cover the adopted precedent and explained next steps for inspection and scheduling any maintenance work under county pavement programs.
