County May Revisit Warning System
Glasscock County Judge Wilburn Bednar said the county court has “beaten the subject around for years,” but commissioners Michael Hoch and Mark Halfmann said they were still interested in an emergency warning system for Garden City at the regular court meeting Jan. 13. No action was taken.
The court appointed a state mandated grievance committee that could be used by county elected officials. With names drawn randomly from the grand jury pool, those selected were: ReeAnn McKinnon, Kyle Newton, Wendall Halfmann, Leon Halfmann, Janie Branham, Kenneth Chandler, Rebecca Moore, Ed Plagens, Zane Eoff and Carol Batla (alternate). By law, the county judge chairs the committee, but does not vote.
County Agent Steve Sturtz reported that the junior livestock show went well, and that the newly installed sound system worked fine. He said the system cost $6,750, with raised money paying $3,750 and the county paying $3,000.
