The Lampasas County Commissioners Court voted 5-0 Monday to set a 30 mile-per-hour speed limit on County Road 4620.

Precinct 4 Commissioner Jack B. Cox said the road, which runs from Farm-to-Market Road 2808 to the Lampasas River, has many winding sections. The commissioner said county crews will place warning signs on the road.

In other business, the Commissioners Court voted unanimously to approve a Justice Assistance Grant resolution. The resolution allows the county to accept a state grant of $36,000 for the Sheriff's Department. Sheriff David Whitis said he will use the grant for improvements to the video systems in patrol cars.

Also Monday, commissioners awarded a bid to Texas Fleet Fuel Ltd. for at-the-station gasoline and diesel. Texas Fleet Fuel, Lampasas County's supplier last year, submitted the only bid. The company will receive an eight-cent-per-gallon profit.

In another item, the Commissioners Court voted unanimously to authorize County Clerk Connie Hartmann to use records management funds for the purchase of computers. Mrs. Hartmann plans to purchase four or five computers with Internet access, as she files some reports online. She has been using computers in the county auditor's office when Internet access is necessary.

Precinct 3 Commissioner Lowell Ivey's motion limited the expenditure to $16,000, but an amended motion did not include a spending limit. Cox voted to authorize the expenditure but said he wanted a spending cap.

Cox said he does not mind the county clerk buying computers for her office but added that the Commissioners Court needed to know how much the computers would cost, as the department heads typically include cost projections in their requests for expenditures.

Mrs. Hartmann did not provide an exact cost, as she still is considering the features she needs on the computers.

"Everybody who's come in here and asked for computers has brought a figure," Cox said.

Also on Monday, the Commissioners Court took no action on the purchase of a used asphalt distributor. Commissioners discussed a 1997 GMC distributor available in Tyler for $27,000, but Ivey and Precinct 1 Commissioner Robert Vincent said the unit would not be adequate because it has only a 1,000-gallon tank.

Ivey and Vincent said the county may need to pay a company for distributor recently broke.

"We need to subcontract this to be done until we find something, or else we just won't pave," Ivey said.
