Montague County Commissioners are moving forward with revisions to the county’s subdivision regulations approving the impact assessment and setting a public hearing date.
The court met in called session on Friday after moving its regular Monday meeting due to the holiday.
Commissioners have been working on revisions to the subdivision regulations for several months. They also have added a manufactured home rental community regulation.
Prior to conducting the required public hearing, the court must conduct an impact assessment based on the revised regulations. That information, along with the revised rules will be presented in a public hearing which has been scheduled for 10 a.m. on July 8.
The court heard the first presentation regarding budget requests Friday, but no action was taken. These are proposals submitted by the various officeholders and department heads. The primary common thread was a proposed five percent salary increase for employees. Commissioners moved to include that and get the figures on that costs.
Final certified property values will not be available until the end of July, which will determine the amounts of projected tax revenue the county may receive and possible tax rates.
Budget proposals were presented by the technology director, justice of the peace one and two, tax assessor, emergency management coordinator, all the precincts, sheriff’s office, county jail and county court. Read the full story in the mid-week Bowie News.
