Commissioners table request to allow water-plant employees onto property to move meters
Summary
An agenda item to authorize Maverick County water-plant employees to enter private property at two US Highway 277 addresses to move a water meter was tabled at the request of a commissioner.
Maverick County Commissioners Court on Aug. 25 considered but tabled an item that would have authorized county water-plant employees to enter property at 11451 North U.S. Highway 277 and 10997 North U.S. Highway 277 to move a water meter. A commissioner asked that the item be tabled for further review; the court approved the tabling motion unanimously.
Why it matters: Authorizing utility employees to enter private property for work can involve access, notification and property-rights issues; tabling allows staff to gather more information or to arrange owner permission before proceeding.
Details: Commissioner Ramos moved to table the item; Commissioner Grace seconded and the motion carried unanimous. The item will be placed on a future commissioners court agenda for additional review and action.
