Court sells struck-off property
Montague County Commissioners conducted a brief session of business on July 14.
Following minutes and monthly reports, the court voted raise the commissioner’s secretary hourly pay to $22.40. A lease agreement between the county and 97th Judicial District and LEAF Capital Funding LLC for a copier in the district court’s office was approved.
Commissioners accepted the purchase of a property struck off the tax roll at 802 E. Clay. Steve Calzadais purchased the property for $600. County Judge Kevin Benton was given authority to sign the tax resale deed.
During public comment, LaDaira Riggs told the court she never received her county tax statement and did not feel she should be charged penalty and interest, which she did not want to pay. No action was taken by the court, but the county judge was provided with the paperwork and indicated he would get back with her.
In the budget workshop item there was no discussion.
