Summary
Lucas County commissioners approved three items to acquire right-of-way and easements for roundabout projects on Monclovin and Wilkam roads, totaling $44,300 in purchase and easement payments.
Lucas County commissioners approved three county engineer requests Aug. 12 to acquire property interests for roundabout projects on Monclovin and Wilkam roads.
County Engineer Panuski sought authority to purchase right-of-way and easements for multiple roundabout installations. The agenda listed $37,000 for the Monclovin–Wilkam Road roundabout, a $2,300 easement for a Monclovin Road roundabout and $5,000 for a property purchase related to another Monclovin roundabout.
Panuski presented the items as standard right-of-way acquisitions needed to construct the planned traffic-control improvements. A motion to approve was made and the clerk recorded affirmative votes; the items were approved.
Records show the projects were previously budgeted as part of the county’s capital program; Panuski did not present additional financing details at the meeting.
No public comments or dissent were recorded during the roll call on these items.
