Richards ISD request to vacate short segment of Colorado Street approved
Summary
The court approved a request from Richards ISD to close and vacate about 350 feet of Colorado Street between Mulberry Drive and Panther Drive; County Engineer John Stiber recommended approval after confirming underlying ownership and right‑of‑way conditions.
County Engineer John Stiber briefed the court on a Richards Independent School District request to close, vacate and abandon a roughly 350‑foot segment of Colorado Street adjacent to district‑owned property. Stiber said the district is the underlying property owner for the relevant parcel and that the road segment runs from Mulberry Drive to Panther Drive.
"The Richards ISD school superintendent asked us to close, vacate, and abandon a portion of Colorado Street. It's about 350 feet," Stiber said. Commissioner David Tullis moved to approve the vacation; Commissioner Chad Mallett seconded the motion and the court voted in favor. Stiber noted the county has no objection to vacation in light of the district's ownership and recommended action to formalize the change.
The court recorded the motion as carried; staff did not specify subsequent administrative steps in detail during the discussion. Stiber said he will follow the normal process for documenting the vacation and updating right‑of‑way records.
