County Hires Trevino
In special session March 20, the Glasscock County Commissioners’ Court hired Oscar Trevino to fill the combined job of county custodian-groundskeeper and operator of the Garden City Water System. His salary will be $27,900, with full county benefits. Approximately 60 percent of the job’s cost will be allocated to the county and 40 percent to the water system. Commissioner Marck Schafer said combining the previously separate jobs will save the county approximately $17,000 per year.
The court again discussed buildings for the two county dump grounds, and decided to make them handicapped-accessible. Commissioners said it would be cheaper to build to meet ADA specs rather than possibly having to modify the structures to meet the requirements later.
Commissioners discussed problems with burned-out trash barrels at the west dump and decided to allow them to be piled there, but not put into the container. The court emphasized that only barrels will be allowed outside the container; other metal items must be taken to the north landfill.
