Brownfield council selects Love Hays Reeger for audit work
City officials vote unanimously to keep Love Hays and Reeger as the annual auditor, following a bid process that included Tommy Pruitt’s firm. Town managers discuss the Roberts County Ground Water Management Program to blend Lake Meredith water, expand supply, and potential cost savings with early payment. The plan may begin in about three years at an estimated cost between 76 and 95 million dollars, with recycling bin purchases approved by the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission.
