Collision kills one,
sends two to hospital
A Wednesday afternoon head-
on-collision claimed the life of
one and sent two others to the
hospital.
Mary Randolph, 59, was pro-
nounced dead at the scene of a
collision six miles east of Llano
on Hwy. 29. She was a passenger
in a 2002 Ford Expedition that
was struck by a 1995 pickup and
trailer driven by Lee Winfrey of
Llano.
According to a report of De-
partment of Public Safety
Trooper Bruce James, the pickup
driven by Winfrey was travelling
westbound when it veered into
the eastbound lane and continued
for some time. The Expedition,
driven by Richard Randolph of
Cherokee, was eastbound when
it encountered the pickup.
Randolph attempted to veer to
the left to avoid the collision but
the two vehicles hit passenger-
side-to-passenger-side.
Richard Randolph suffered
minor injuries and was treated
and released at Llano Memorial
Hospital. Also injured in the ac-
cident were Suzanne and Larry
Crum of Cherokee. Suzanne
Crum suffered a broken leg and
was air lifted from the scene.
Both were transported to
Brackenridge Hospital.
The report stated that all four
victims in the Expedition were
wearing seatbelts. With the added
weight of Winfrey’s trailer, that
contained welding equipment,
the impact sheered the passenger
side of the Expedition.
Winfrey was arrested shortly
after and charged with criminal
negligent homicide. He was re-
leased on personal recognizance
bond. He was not injured.
Mary Randolph was a longtime
resident of Cherokee and had
worked as a registered nurse at
Llano Memorial Hospital for sev-
eral years. Funeral services were
held Saturday at the First Baptist
Church in Cherokee. (See obitu-
ary on Page 3)

Council
moves
forward on
wastewater
project
By Cindy Richerson
In Monday's regular meeting
of the Llano City Council, Pub-
lic Works Director John Mont-
gomery discussed the grant ad-
ministration services agreement
between Grant Development Ser-
vices (GDS) and the City of Ll-
ano.
J. Gandolf Burrus, President of
GDS, presented the services pro-
vided by his company in the
implementation and construction
of sewer system improvement
project in connection with the
Llano Community Development
Block Grant (CDBG) awarded
by the Office of Rural Commu-
nity Affairs (ORCA).
A letter of agreement was ex-
ecuted by the city and GDS last
September stating that if the
CDBG application receives fund-
ing, the City of Llano will engage
GDS to render professional ser-
vices to administer the contract.
The city council awarded the
contract to GDS for the upcom-
ing project.
In other matters, Montgomery
brought to council’s attention the
request for Hotel/Motel funds
from the Christmas Lighting
Committee for advertising the
July 4,2005 “Rockin’ Riverfest.”
The request fW$ 1,500 to adver-
tise the 2005 Rock’n Riverfest
was given approval after lengthy
discussion. A year ago, the event
was awarded $2,000.
In other action the council:
• Approved a request for a vari-
ance allowing gas powered mo-
tor boats, of less than 20 horse-
power, on the City of Llano Lake
specifically for the “Rock'n
Riverfest.” The purpose of this
request was to allow a gas pow-
ered motor boat retrieving the
remote controlled boats during
the races scheduled and would be
used specifically for that event.
Ordinance 314, Section 2 prohib-
its the use of power boats on the
waters of the City of Llano Lake
adjacent to Robinson Park. How-
ever, no ordinance has been
found that clearly states the pro-
hibition of power boats on the
waters of the City of Llano Lake,
adjacent to Llano River Park.
There was only one ordinance
found that restricts boaoufc within
200 feet of the water intake ba-
sin used by the City of Llano for
its water supply. The city has al-
ways taken the position that gas
powered motored boats on the
lakes are prohibited.
• Montgomery introduced
Chien Lee, of Hejl, Lee, and As-
sociates, Inc. to assist him with
fielding questions concerning the
discussion and consideration of
the engineering services contract
for Burnet Street roadway im-
provements. Burnet Street will be
a one way street, going East.
Parking to the North or South of
this street has not yet been estab-
lished. Copies of itemized de-
scriptions and expenses were
passed out to all Council mem-
bers. After a thorough combing
through of the facts of the pre-
sented material by Mayor Roger
