Lucas County commissioners approved three county engineer requests Aug. 12 to acquire property interests for roundabout projects on Monclovin and Wilkam roads.

County Engineer Panuski sought authority to purchase right-of-way and easements for multiple roundabout installations. The agenda listed $37,000 for the Monclovin–Wilkam Road roundabout, a $2,300 easement for a Monclovin Road roundabout and $5,000 for a property purchase related to another Monclovin roundabout.

Panuski presented the items as standard right-of-way acquisitions needed to construct the planned traffic-control improvements. A motion to approve was made and the clerk recorded affirmative votes; the items were approved.

Records show the projects were previously budgeted as part of the county’s capital program; Panuski did not present additional financing details at the meeting.

No public comments or dissent were recorded during the roll call on these items.
