The easement, as originally presented, left commissioners court members with questions about the duration of the agreement. County officials said the agreement was not something they could just sign off on.
County commissioners asked Texas Association of Counties attorney Jim Allison to review the document. The review was delayed due to Allison's involvement in the political redistricting lawsuits.
Judge Brown said he and Sulphur Springs City Manager Marc Maxwell have reviewed the paperwork and have an agreement in principal.
“Marc and I have already looked at it and made a few tweaks and have it ready to go to court Friday,” Brown said.
The changes specifically address parking concerns.
“It just makes sure that 20 years from now if somebody wants to make changes, they will not have just free rein,” Brown said.“Any changes to the number of parking spaces on either side of Oak Avenue or the way the lanes travel will just have to come back to include the county.”
With a favorable vote Friday, the City Council will need to add its stamp of approval before crews complete the rebuilding of College/Main Street and Oak Avenue.
