Election judge Anita Aaron made
her election canvass report to the
board of directors of Kingsland
Municipal Utility District (KMUD)
on May 9, at the monthly meeting.
At the election, held May 7, a total of
68 cast votes to elect two directors to
the KMUD board. With the 10
absentee voters, the total number of
voters was 78. Lennie Larson re-
ceived 72 votes and Bill Robinson
received 71. Both men were unop-
posed and there was apparently little
interest among the local citizens.
One board member commented that
“When things are running smoothly,
people just don’t take an interest.”
Aaron’s report was accepted and the
board expressed appreciation for the
work done during the election.
Another matter before the KMUD
board was that of the need to get
something settled with the City of
Austin over railroad right-of-way
easements for KMUD pipelines.
Some of the necessary easements
were recorded in 1982, but other
areas where easements are required,
no contract or formal agreement has
been reached.
. Due to the change in ownership
from Southern Pacific Railroad to the
city of Austin some verbal agree-
ments were negated. Negotiations
have been in progress since May 4
1987, with the city and to date,
nothing has been settled.
Although directors agree it is a last
resort type of action, KMUD has the
right of condemnation as a utility.
After discussion as to costs nad
feasibility, the directors present
voted to exercise that right and
instruct the attorney to begin

prize to Adam Bagwell, grandson of
PMGA member Bill Bagwell. It was
ultimately auctioned off and the
money given to the VFD.
A special thanks from PMGA
members goes to RL’s Barbecue of
Kingsland for the deliciqus donated
barbecue, to Houston Distributing of
Llano and KP Package Store of
Kingsland who each donated a keg of
free beer. Also, KP Package Store
for the bottle of Old Crow and to

pleased group of firemen say thanks
to all who assisted and participated
and especially to PMGA for all of
their work in getting ready for the
tournament.

third place winners were to have
received $100, $75 and $50, but the

divided equally between the winning
