Travis Commissioners meet today
Friday, November 7, 2014 by Mark Richardson
If you usually attend the Travis County Commissioners’ regular Tuesday meeting, we assume you are already planning your time off next week. The Commissioners will not meet on Nov. 11 because of Veterans Day activities, but will instead meet today to take care of business. County Judge Sam Biscoe said there are a number of mostly routine items on the agenda and that he hopes to have the 10 a.m. meeting over and done with before lunch. The Commissioners will meet in chambers at the Travis County Building at 700 Lavaca St.
