Commissioners approve petition to close Salem Street after resident appeal
Summary
Following public comment urging the closure, the Hemphill County Commissioners' Court approved a petition to close Salem Street; a resident also urged the county to remove SPS from Xcel by condemnation.
Resident Salem Abraham addressed the court during public comment, saying Salem Street "should have been closed a long time ago" and suggesting the court consider reclaiming SPS from Xcel by condemnation to return utility service to a prior arrangement. The court then considered and approved a petition to close Salem Street; Commissioner Tim Alexander moved the petition and Commissioner Dale Schafer seconded; the motion carried unopposed.
The closure was considered under a discrete agenda item immediately following public comment. The minutes record the court's action as approval of the petition; the record does not show further details about timing, easements or next administrative steps for implementing the closure.
