Commissioners sidetrack car maintenance issue
Two Ector County commissioners failed to push an immediate preventive maintenance program for county vehicles and a set replacement mileage. The 2 to 3 vote reflected a preference to coordinate with city officials before moving forward, while a city agreement to handle maintenance at the city garage was discussed. The group also approved road designation requests, a custodial services contract for a future library, and appointments to the Park and Recreation Board.
