Montague County Commissioners may select a new county sewer/septic inspector when the court meets at 9 a.m. on April 25.
Last month the court met to discuss the duties and the process to replace the late Eddie Fenoglio who had the position for many years. The hiring committee will make its recommendation Monday. An executive session is scheduled with any action on hiring to occur back in open session.
The court will consider appointing a local health authority for Montague County as the term of the present physician, Dr. Chance Dingler, is up for renewal.
Commissioners also will consider hiring additional personnel for training to replace a retiring staff member in the tax assessor’s office.
The sheriff’s office will discuss purchasing an AFIX System which would be used for fingerprinting identification, plus review purchasing GayKey, CellHawk and Cellebrite system and ongoing subscription fees for the office.
Other topics on Monday’s agenda include: Application and order for permit and right-of-way bore in precinct two for EOG Resources, along with accepting unanticipated revenue of $500 from EOG Resources; approve replat in precinct for Bonita Oaks Ranch lots 15 and 16; open sealed bids for emulsified asphalt and prime oil; and consider memo of understanding between the county and the Montague County Amateur Radio Club.
