Budget talk dominates Terry County commissioners meeting
County Auditor Alan Bayer outlined preliminary figures for the 1999 budget during Terry County Commissioner's Session led by Precinct Four Commissioner Bill Keesee. The jail expansion to a 96 bed facility drives most changes with anticipated costs rising from 160000 to 370000 for full time jailers. Hearings with department heads are set for July 8 and occupancy is targeted for early August amid construction curtailments at night.
