County Commissioners Move to Buy Vehicles and Bid Janitorial Services
Commissioners said two current vehicles are over 200000 miles and must be replaced within a year or two. They voted to advertise for bids on janitorial services for Kendrick Memorial Library South Plains Health Department Building and Terry County Airport Building with bids opening April 12. Services requested three cleanings per week for the Library and Health Department and one weekly for the Airport Terminal. Ramon Gallegos was named to the Advisory Board of the Dispute Resolution Center at the South Paling Association of Governments. The map from the U S Census Bureau reflecting no changes to county roads was approved as the final agenda item.
