Commissioners Court met on Monday, where they addressed a very short agenda that included only two action items.
Once again, County Clerk Debbie Rushing was requesting approval for the renewal of annual copier maintenance agreement with Tascosa Office Machines. But once again some paperwork was not ready, and like last week, the item was tabled until a later time.
In the next item, Sheriff Don Corzine was requesting expenditure from equipment line item for the purchase of a battery backup from CTSI. The Court unanimously approved his request.
There were no line item transfers, no Soil Conservation request and no request for disposal of county equipment.
