Maintenance Job Filled, Car Auction Set
The Glasscock County Commissioners’ Court met in special session Sept. 4 and after a lengthy closed session, voted unanimously to hire Douglas Plagens as the building maintenance and grounds-keeping person. County Judge Wilburn Bednar said nine people had applied for the job.
The court also voted to put three used cars up for bids. The cars, all Ford Crown Victorias which were once part of the sheriff’s department fleet, are a 1996 model with 116,000 miles, a 1997 with 173,000 miles and a1998 with 121,000 miles. They are parked north of the courthouse by the scout hut. Sealed bids for the cars must be in the county judge’s office by Sept. 27 at 11:30 a.m. The mailing address is P.O. Box 67, Garden City, TX 79739. The county court will meet Sept. 28 at 9 a.m. to review the bids. The county court reserves the right to accept or reject any and all bids.
At Bednar’s suggestion, the court discussed setting load limits for county roads, but took no action. The court was concerned that trucks with very heavy loads are damaging county roads.
