Water District Names Auditor
At its March 17 meeting, the Glasscock Groundwater Conservation District’s Board of Directors (Kent McMillan absent) approved Anna Thomas, CPA, once again for its 2008 audit.
The board also voted to “support the Texas Water Development Board’s application to be designated as the USDA – NRCS Agricultural Water Enhancement Program Partner (AWEP) for the Texas High Plains Ogallala Aquifer area and to affirm our desire to be included as supporting partner in the proposed use of AWEP funds and to encourage our producers to consider participating in the AWEP funding process.” GGCD Manager Rick Harston said he does not expect much money for Texas from this program because most of it will go to the East and to California.
Harston, in his legislative update, said the state legislature is facing at least 1223 bills, a record number, several of which concern water. He also said he fears that we are headed toward state control of water resources.
GGCD’s board will change its next two meetings to Monday, April 20 and Monday, May 18.
The board voted to move $50,000 from its checking account to a 3-month CD at American State Bank at an interest rate of 1.39 percent.
Harston reported that West Texas Weather Modification is ready to seed clouds anytime conditions are right.
