Groundwater District Meets
GGCD had no regular board meetings in May or June due to lack of a quorum. The board met July 19 with Kenneth Braden, Larry Wheat and John Phillips present.
Prior to the meeting, a public hearing was held during which Bill Alexander with Wind Plus, Inc. presented the wind power project planned for northeastern Glasscock County. He asked that the board approve a resolution for a reinvestment zone and a tax abatement contract with the company. The board, during its meeting, tabled both these matters until the entire board is present.
The board discussed new joint planning requirements enacted during the 79th Legislative Session, and designated Rick Harston as the district’s voting representative to meetings of Groundwater Management Area Seven.
The board voted to move $40,000 from a certificate of deposit to the district’s checking account and to renew two CD’s with First State Bank, Big Spring for three months beginning July 31.
