I have 36 years as a Licensed Engineer and retired my license in November 2020. I have 29 years working in the Civil and Traffic Engineering field. Of those 29 Years 12 were spread out over 3 different Cities in 3 different Counties working with Professional Engineers who submitted plans and working with numerous concerned citizens. I then left the public domain and went to work in the private sector with a Civil & Traffic Engineering Firm, starting out as a Senior Project Engineer, then I was promoted to Vice-President of the Company and retired 14 years later.
I have attended all but 2 County Commissioner’s Court over the last months and the biggest issues I have witnessed is the appointment of Board Directors due to individuals resigning from their positions. The subdivision of property or the combining of lots to a smaller number. The approval of agreements with other entities or municipalities. The establishment of the 2024 County wide budget. The approval of AT&T phone services, extra money budged for the Sheriff’s Department, whether the County should stop or continue to allow the burning of debris and the maintenance of road issues.
The County problems I hear are: I would like my road paved, there are pot holes that should be repaired. There are some individuals that are collecting trash in trash bags on their property. Some think that the County should install a traffic signal at River Oaks Drive and the 2900 (This is a little tricky as the Farm to Market Road 2900, according to TxDOT is owned and maintained by TxDOT and therefore would need the state of Texas to be involved with the installation of a traffic signal there).
