Water District Adopts Budget
The Glasscock Underwater Conservation District met in regular session Oct. 17 (Mike Hughes absent) and approved leaving its certificates of deposit at First Bank of West Texas at an interest rate of 3.70, with three-month maturities.
At the Sept. 14 meeting (Mike Hughes absent), the board adopted a balanced 2007 budget of $150,000 and set the tax rate at 0.021459 per $100 valuation. Major budget items include: $60,000 in salaries, $27,000 for weather modification and $15,000 for insurance.
District Manager Rick Harston reported little activity from the West Texas Weather Modification Association. He said most recent clouds have not been candidates for seeding, due to low ceilings.
