Ambulance, Courthouse Roof On Hold
The Glasscock County Commissioners Court on June 9 took no action on an agenda item regarding a new roof for the courthouse, nor on a solution for Garden City’s ailing ambulance. The roofer (Kirby Hartman) who was asked to submit a bid had not done so, and the ambulance matter had not been placed on the court’s agenda. The court is to deal with both matters at its next regular meeting July 14.
The courthouse now has its wireless computer system functioning, at a cost of $750 for installation and anti-virus software.
County Treasurer Alan Dierschke said to conform to new state regulations, anything the county owns that is worth more than $5,000 must be valued and inventoried by October. Some members of the county court will attend seminars regarding the regulations.
The county treasurer’s quarterly investment report for the period ending March 31 shows $31,000 cash in the operating account (at .05 percent interest), $1.4 million in the investment account (at .94 percent), $38,000 in TexPool (at 1.33 percent) and $202,000 in an interest and sinking fund for payment of community center bonds (at .94 percent). As of March 31, the Garden City Water System showed $42,000 in cash and $57,000 in an investment account.
The commissioners’ court meets on the second Monday of each month at 9 a.m. upstairs in the courthouse. All meetings are open to the public.
