The following Action Items were discussed with action either taken or tabled:

1. Discussion regarding a survey, creating a retaining wall and leveling property at Allison Sisters Lot Nos. 16 & 17 for HUD Home program. George Amthor, County Surveyor, was called in for consultation along with Oscar Zepeda, County Worker. Judge Theodosis asked Cathi Miles, Administrative Assistant, to contact San Saba City officials to set up a meeting at the property.

2. Discussion regarding the Governor's State of Texas Burn Ban.
