Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Burnet County public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
County homestead tax exemption request
A resident asked the court to consider offering a county homestead or over-65 exemption, which Burnet County currently does not provide.
CR 337 and CR 340 low-water crossings
Engineering is done and the projects go out to bid, replacing crossings that washed out after FEMA only paid to restore them as-is; the county will later seek partial FEMA reimbursement.
Agate Road acceptance as CR 425A
More than half the Quail Creek landowners petitioned for the county to take over and eventually pave their 400-foot connector road; the court accepted it with a variance from the main-artery rule.
Waste Management Transition
Burnet County is switching trash and recycling providers to Texas Disposal Systems starting November 2. You'll get brand new carts delivered and need to leave your old ones at the curb next week so the city can haul them away.
Water Infrastructure Construction
Bertram is making major progress on a $3.43 million water tower and a $2.3 million lift station visible along Highway 29. These upgrades are designed to give the city's growing water and sewer systems a massive boost.
Low-Water Crossing Engineering Work Order on CR 403
Commissioners will consider approving an engineering work order for hydraulics and design at a low-water crossing on CR 403 at Flat Rock Creek to improve safety during heavy rains.
