Uvalde County Commissioners accepted the road administrator's report covering work from Nov. 6 to Nov. 19, which listed road maintenance, brush cutting, pothole repairs, equipment repositioning and post-flood debris clearing. The administrator said staff cut grass on several county roads, removed two hazardous trees, and moved equipment between county yards and the city landfill to support operations.

The report noted the county conducted a commissioner cleanup at Uvalde Estates on Nov. 8 and that all burn-ban signs had been lowered countywide. The administrator described a substantial roadside cleanup along Highway 1051 in the Reagan Wells area that required a loader, four full roll-off containers, four employees and the assistance of a sheriff's deputy; removed materials are being stored at the county yard for 40 days before final disposition. The administrator also said one water truck is down with steering-box issues and that a roll-off truck recently underwent an in-frame overhaul.

Commissioners asked for a clearer list of major equipment out of service and estimated timelines for repairs; the road administrator agreed to provide that information. The administrator said he had appointed Cody Taylor as assistant road administrator, effective Dec. 1, 2025, to assist with day-to-day operations.

What was decided: the court moved to accept the report and voted to approve it. The road department will provide additional detail about equipment currently in repair and anticipated return-to-service timelines.

What to watch next: follow-up reporting from the road department on repair timelines and any county action to replace or contract for equipment if outages persist.
