A burn ban could arrive for Montague County very soon, as the commissioner’s court considers a ban at its Feb. 9 meeting.

The court will gather at 9 a.m. Monday in the courthouse annex.

In recent weeks, fire department across the county have responded to a variety of grass fires that have burned a total of several hundred acres. While 1.7 inches of rain fell at various intervals last weekend, with high winds that followed it did not long to dry the grass.

The Chapter 59 Asset Forfeiture Reports for the sheriff’s office will be presented, along with the tier one racial profiling report and unanticipated revenue from a Texas Association of Counties insurance claim.

Other items on the agenda include a transfer of funds from the indigent health care fund to the general fund; approval to sign the Texas Community Development Program Citizen Participation Plan and Limited English Proficiency Plan related to a state grant the county is seeking; and regular month reports.
