County Sells Used Cars
Meeting in special session Sept. 28, the Glasscock County Commissioners’ Court accepted the high bids for three cars originally used by the local sheriff’s department. Charles Chandler purchased both the 1996 and 1997 cars for $3,250 each, and Joe Padilla bought the 1998 vehicle for $4,450. Nine individuals and three used car companies submitted bids for one or more of the cars.
Wayne Halfmann wanted the court’s permission to take tire pieces which TXDOT picks up along state highways in the county to the county barn. Commissioners decided instead to ask that such tires be taken to the north landfill if it is open, and if not, to store them in the TXDOT yard until they have a load, and then take them to the landfill.
In a meeting Sept. 21, the county commissioners officially set the county’s 2001-2002 tax rate at 41 cents per$100 valuation
