Brownfield Council approves four foot sidewalk variance
Brownfield City Council approved a variance to allow Burger King to build a four foot sidewalk along the west front facing Lubbock Highway and to landscape north and east sides, replacing an eight foot sidewalk plan and avoiding extra costs. The meeting also endorsed caliche for a 3.5 mile county road stretch between Farm Roads 303 and 403 to aid Birdsong and DeLeon firms, with future talks on a reciprocal arrangement. Interim City Manager Jobe appointed Marvin Dawson as city fire marshal, and police actions included plans for an extended reserve force, a bicycle patrol, and a Law Enforcement Explorer Post.
