Court Awards Bid on Landfill Office
At its April 10 meeting, the Glasscock County Commissioners’ Court voted to accept Daniel Kujawski’s $9,975 bid for construction of an office at the north landfill. The court plans to build another office for the west dump ground after a new budget is adopted in September.
The court also voted to repair a bulldozer with transmission problems for a price of $38,000. After the repairs, the court will decide whether to keep the machine or trade it in on another.
Commissioners appeared to agree with Keith Burnett’s request for two additional emergency radios at a total cost of $3,200, although no action was taken because the item was not on the court’s agenda. One of the two units will be installed in a maintainer and one used as a spare. To date, the court has provided new digital radios for emergency vehicles and the sheriff’s department at a combined cost of $26.000. Burnett said the new radios are in use and proving invaluable in firefighting efforts.
The court voted to pay Constable Mark Frysak $100 per month for gasoline expense. The commissioners agreed that he is out working, trying to help, using his own car, and should be reimbursed for some gasoline. Earlier, Frysak had reported that he recently completed a basic course in animal control.
Extension agent Charlene Belew was given permission to use a special paint to fill in the lettering on the stone community center marker. She also asked for lighting for the marker and was instructed to get a solar-powered light. County Judge Wilburn Bednar suggested that the paint be used on the lettering of the county marker at the main intersection.
