While Montague County’s ban on outdoor burning expired, commissioners still urge residents to use caution.
Commissioner Mark Murphey in public comments told the court Tuesday while the burn ban has expired after its 90 days, people should still exercise extreme caution with burning. He urged any person doing major burns to call the sheriff’s office at 894-2871, ext. 1, to let them know.
In a brief post-holiday meeting Tuesday the Montague County Commissioners approved numerous routine items.
The court paid two invoices out of its American Rescue Plan federal funds for work on the sewer plant for the courthouse/annex complex. One bill is the permit fee of $620 from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. County Judge Kevin Benton said this will be an annual fee, which they will pay for with ARPA funds this year and budget it next year.
