Midland district bylaws push for 12 member board and dues push
The general assembly debated a 12 member board elected from membership and, after a voice vote, endorsed the nominating committee's recommendation. Baskin said the group must raise 10 000 in dues by July 1 to secure a 10 000 state matching grant, with 9 000 already in hand and the remainder expected through advance dues. A June 1 deadline for dues was set and a budget committee was formed to help raise funds, including Odessa Mayor Jim Reese Pecos County Judge Luttrell and Midland schools rep Joe Domine Domine also joined the bylaws committee chaired by Borden County Judge Glen Toombs. A resolution was passed allowing non participating counties and cities to join, and the next general assembly meeting is set for Stanton on June 15 to hear committee reports.
