Commissioners Consider County Salary Adjustments and Office Moves
The Commissioners Court reviewed salary parity for elected officials and deputies, with some raises and others held steady. They discussed office relocations for the School Superintendent, Sheriff and other offices, but no final action. The court also set tax guidelines, approving a 25 percent increase in valuations and categorizing land and livestock for taxation. A 10 member grievance committee was established under new Texas law with seven county officials and three public members.
