Commissioners Court was postponed for one day to allow commissioners the opportunity to attend a meeting in Lubbock addressing property taxes, but once they met on Tuesday, March 22 it didn’t take long to handle the one item on their agenda as they adjourned in a record 10 minutes.

Before they addressed the agenda County Judge Jim Barron thanks those who attended the property tax meeting in Lubbock and had a special thanks to Commissioner Tim Addison for his part in the meeting.

The only item that needed to be addressed was to approve a petition to Occidental Permian LTD for the right and authority to bore, lay, construct, install, occupy, maintain, repair, replace, and remove under county roads in Yoakum County, Texas a carbon steel conduit under County Road 335, .6 mile north of intersection of county road 330 and county road 335.
