The Commissioners started their Monday, January 27th meeting listening to a citizen who explained concerns about bio sludge and biosolids being dumped in a pasture near his home. Bio sludge and biosolids are banned in Ellis, Henderson and Johnson Counties following extensive research on the dangers of the substances that could seep into the drinking water for several largely populated areas, including Corsicana and Dallas. This topic will be discussed later as Navarro County currently does not have any bans in place regarding this issue.
The Commissioners of Navarro County approved final plats for Cattleman’s Land Group and Vega Land Investments, LLC, France Addison which is in its final phase of development and for Dreamwood Estates Capital Group Investments, LLC which will be turning just over 91 acres of land into a subdivision with 57 residences accessed by a private road.
Discussions turned to drafting a letter of request for Representative Cody Harris to present to the Texas Department of Transportation, regarding Northwest County Road 1250 also known as Emhouse Road. Emhouse Road is a road with extensive history that has fallen into an excessive state of disrepair. Precinct one commissioner, Jason Grant, has been working with Harris for over a year, rigorously advocating TX DOT to take over the road and the responsibility for its repair, with the hope that the Letter of Request will give TX DOT the necessary push for action.
The Commissioners heard a proposal for internet and cameras at the County Barns through IT. County Barns currently have varied services at the five different locations, one only having phones and fax, while others have limited internet, each barn paying for the services, costing almost $200 each. The proposal would bring each barn up to the same level of service and combine the five different bills into one easier to manage monthly bill. The Commissioners approved the proposal, opting to pay the one lump sum for equipment installation at all five barns, internet, and cameras, costing almost $7,000 but bringing the monthly internet and phone bill down to only $160 per month.
