County commissioners to meet twice on Monday
Montague County Commissioners will meet in two separate sessions on March 28.
Monday’s regular meeting opens at 9 a.m. with an assortment of topics on the agenda.
The called meeting at 10 a.m. has only one topic, to award debris removal bids.
Commissioners will consider consolidating the countywide voting locations for the May 24 runoff elections. County Elections Administrator Brandi Shipman said due to the small numbers of races, the Texas Secretary of State will allow countywide voting locations to be reduced by half.
Montague County normally has 10 locations, but she will present to the court a list of six locations to consider. The ballot will have one county race on the Republican ticket, plus four state races. There is one race on the Democratic primary runoff.
