Center Faces Shutdown Over Funds At Brownfield
The Brownfield Senior Citizens Center may close after August if funding cannot be secured. Director Jean Renfro says the center needs about $7,000 monthly to operate, serving 1,100 meals and offering rides, activities, and social programs. Budget relies on SPAG 37,000, United Way 10,000, and local support, with private donations dwindling.

BRMC Approves Budget and Tax Rate After Lengthy Meeting
Brownfield Regional Medical Center directors approved the 2004 2005 budget effective Oct 1 and also set the Terry Memorial Hospital District tax rate. The rate is 0.26542 per $100 valuation, including 0.24331 for maintenance and operations and 0.02211 for the sinking fund, lower than last year due to a $40 million rise in property values from oil and minerals. The effective rate is 0.25769, and the rate chosen is just under the public hearing limit.
