Terry County Commissioners hold brief meeting

by admin

The Terry County Commissioners met on Monday, February 28 and worked a brief agenda.

Other than the routine business, an agreement was approved with High Plains Surgery Center to take care of any necessary surgeries for inmates in the Terry County Law Enforcement Center.

Sabrina Bandy was approved as Investments Officer. This was necessary due to the fact that current County Auditor Jan Hudson will be retiring in June, and this will allow Bandy to begin to attend training classes so there will be no breakdown in the office during transition.

Also approved were the Guardianship Investments. This is a fund that has to be re-approved each year.

The Court approved the Cyber Security Course for employees that must be done each year. Judge Butch Wagner and Gerry Gonzales were approved as administrators of the course.

The Court called for a special election on May 7 for Constitutional Amendments.

The amendments are:

Proposition 1 (SJR 2 – 87th Legislature, 2nd Special Session)

“The constitutional amendment authorizing the legislature to provide for the reduction of the amount of a limitation on the total amount of ad valorem taxes that may be imposed for general elementary and secondary public school purposes on the residence homestead of a person who is elderly or disabled to reflect any statutory reduction from the preceding tax year in the maximum compressed rate of the maintenance and operations taxes imposed for those purposes on the homestead.”

Proposition 2 (SJR 2 – 87th Legislature, 3rd Special Session)

“The constitutional amendment increasing the amount of the residence homestead exemption from ad valorem taxation for public school purposes from $25,000 to $40,000.”

Judges for the election are as follows:

Having no further business, the meeting was adjourned. The Court will next meet on Monday, March 14, at 9 a.m.
