Commissioners ready two meetings on Monday
The Montague County Commissioners will conduct two meetings on March 8.
The public hearing at 8:45 a.m. will consider vacating the last 400 feet of Weaver Road in precinct four.
During Monday’s 9 a.m. session the court will go into executive session to discuss how to fill the unexpired term of constable one. It has almost four years left on it.
Former Constable One Stefanie Horton was named to fill out the term of the late Justice of the Peace One David Allen, who passed away in January.
