Seidenberger Resigns Water Board
On Dec. 18, the Glasscock Groundwater Conservation District’s Board of Directors (Kent McMillan and Manager Rick Harston absent) accepted the resignation of Dennis Seidenberger, who is the last charter member of the board, after 26 years of service. The resignation was effective immediately, even though Seidenberger’s term doesn’t end until May 20, 2008. Seidenberger didn’t attend the meeting, but Board President Kenneth Braden said he gave no specific reason for the resignation, other than he had wanted to resign for awhile, and had told Braden, “It’s just time.”
The board appointed Allan Fuchs to fill Seidenberger’s unexpired term as the at-large member of the board. Other board members are John Phillips, Larry Wheat, Braden and McMillan.
At its Sept. 13 meeting, the GGCD board adopted a balanced 2008 budget of $152,318 and set its tax rate at .018460. Major budget items are: salaries $27,000; weather modification (cloud seeding) $27,000; insurance $15,000; conventions, travel and seminars $7,000; legal and professional $7,000.
The board’s November meeting was cancelled due to lack of a quorum.
