The San Saba County Commissioners Court met at 1 p.m. on April 28th in the County Judge’s Chambers. County Judge Byron Theodosis called the meeting to order and welcomed everyone to the Court. Commissioner Rickey Lusty gave the invocation followed by everyone joining for the pledges to the American and Texas flags.

Reagan Burnham addressed the Court with the information that the petition to sell alcoholic beverages in the San Saba City limits was in the auditor’s office being processed. The petition has more than the required signatures and will be coming to the Commissioner’s Court for a vote before it is put on the ballot in November. Burnham also had a question about the new website that will be taken care of when the old website is deleted.
