Council okays county brush-cutting agreement to clear roadside hazards
Summary
The council approved an agreement to allow Grayson County crews to provide limited brush-cutting services inside the city using county grapple and trimming equipment; the ILA sets hours-based billing and may be used following storms to clear wind‑fallen trees.
Commissioner Josh Mars summarized an ILA allowing Grayson County to deploy grapple and trimming equipment inside the city for vegetation management. He said the ILA covers up to 20 hours of services (the county expects it may only need 10) and that the city would be billed only for hours used; he described the work as useful for removing wind‑felled or broken trees in perimeter and rural roads.
Council members moved to approve the brush-cutting agreement; the motion was seconded and the presiding officer said the vote was unanimous. Mars said the county's grapple truck purchased last year would be used to clear rock and debris after culvert replacement and storms and that services would be available as needed.
