Council Hires Gilbreath As Municipal Judge

Gilbreath to become Brownfield court judge on Monday
Gilbreath will assume his duties as Brownfield City Municipal Court Judge on Monday November 8 after a 32 and a half year career as a law enforcement officer including 20 years as a Texas Ranger and 15 in Terry County. He said he looks forward to serving the people and learning the new position. The council discussed a zoning item about requiring fences around stored vehicles at local repair shops but did not move to amend the city code. Officials preferred voluntary action over a new ordinance with city enforcement costs. Mayor Bobby Brewer and Mayor Pro Tem Ron Grissom opposed mandating fences, noting shops face enough challenges keeping their businesses open.
