Wayne Everett questions legality of County Road Department work on private property

 Wayne Everett addressed the Uvalde County Court and road administrator this morning about responsibilities of County Roads. Everett brought up work done by the Uvalde County Road Department  in 2020 on private property involving a private road over a river crossing near Crider’s Crossing.  Judge Mitchell stated the work in question was covered under a Commissioners Court Agreement made in the 1970’s with other government entities allowing the County to maintain certain dams and spillways located on private property via an easement to prevent flooding of the City of Uvalde.

 Everett had asked to be able to drive the roadway where the work was done. Judge Mitchell said that would not be possible as the road and dam/spillway are located on private property.
