Community Center Security Discussed
On Sept. 27 (Jimmy Strube absent), the Glasscock County Commissioners Court discussed problems with security at the Glasscock County Community Center.
In an attempt to solve some of the problems, Deputy Sheriff Keith Burnett suggested several changes in the center’s security guidelines: require that security be paid up front; require hiring local law enforcement or security with local authority; ban glass containers; set a noise limit and put “No Smoking” signs inside the facility. (Security personnel are required at functions where alcohol is available.) The commissioners informally agreed to the changes, and will vote on revised guidelines at a later meeting.
It was announced that Christy Seidenberger, R.N, has agreed to replace Kenny Batla as Glasscock County’s Emergency Services Director for the same annual salary of $6,000. She asked that a heater/air conditioner be put in the Garden City Fire Hall office. The commissioners’ court will adopt a job description at a later date.
No replacement has been selected for County Judge Wilburn Bednar as the Emergency Management Coordinator, who handles Homeland Security matters, among other things,
Extension Agent Gets Pickup
Although Commissioner Michael Hoch insisted that a Dodge pickup would be best for the county’s extension agent, no bid for a Dodge was available, and the commissioners took a bid of $27,875 from Jim Bass for a Ford crew cab pickup, $5,000 below the nearest other bid.
The court adopted the state policy regarding indigent health care (see related information in separate heading).
