Williamson County commissioners discussed allocating money in the county’s capital improvement plan to upcoming projects, such as the Juvenile Justice Center, at a March 31 meeting.

Digging deeper: There is almost $17.9 million in the fiscal year 2025-26 CIP budget that has not yet been allocated, County Auditor Julie Kiley said at the meeting.

Commissioners suggested prioritizing current projects with the cash left over, including the remaining balance of the Juvenile Justice Center project, totaling $17.4 million. They voted to allocate $500,000 to an internal computer software project.

Existing projects in the CIP will require the majority of funding in FYs 2026-27 through 2031-32, according to county documents.

The largest priorities within the existing project list include:

• $20.65 million for a new Precinct 4 Annex requested in FY 2026-27
• $14.9 million for the Lake Creek Annex improvements requested in FY 2026-27
• $17 million for technology requested over the next five years

Travis County officials have lifted a burn ban for unincorporated areas of Travis County that began in February.

Recent rainfall over the weekend of April 3-5 along with additional rain forecasted in the coming days is expected to improve moisture levels and reduce the threat of wildfires, according to county information.

What you need to know: While outdoor burning is now allowed in unincorporated areas, residents should use caution and be aware of fire conditions, according to county information. County officials suggest keeping a fire extinguisher or water nearby while burning.

Before conducting outdoor burning, residents are expected to contact their local fire department and receive any necessary permits. Residents should call 911 if a fire becomes uncontrolled.

What they're saying: “Recent rainfall has significantly improved conditions across Travis County, and with more rain in the forecast, I am cautiously optimistic conditions will continue to improve,” Travis County Fire Marshal Gary Howell said in a news release.
