CITY MANAGER'S NOTES
Finley deGraffenried visited the Lampasas Radio studio this morning for his weekly show with Ronnie Witcher. He shared that water line replacement has begun on West Avenue C. The replacement will go from Key Ave to Porter St. and apologizes for any inconvenience. Qro Mex Construction Inc., based in Granite Shoals, started work earlier this month on the $492,600 project.
The Lampasas City Council will be considering a “tree ordinance” for the city in the future. As many remodeling projects start and many legacy trees are removed, the city council may consider requiring residents to replace those trees with one of a similar size.
December 16th will be an open house of the new City Council Chambers in the 1931 Old City Hall building. The open house will be from 5:30-7:30 if any residents want to stop by.
