The county commissioners will meet Feb. 8 and will discuss possible approval of burning permits associated with the annual fire academy held at Camp Bowie. The court will also receive a presentation regarding the yearly event. The court will also hear from chief deputy Vance Hill regarding possible approval to purchase emergency equipment and install for new sheriff’s office vehicles.

County clerk Sharon Ferguson will request approval for back file, imaging and indexing of OPR (land records) from Kofile. And, as they do weekly, the court will address any action regarding the implementation of a burn ban. At this point, Brown County is not under a burn ban. Officials with the elections administration office will also request the hiring of a part time employee.

The Brown County Commissioners Court will meet Monday, Feb. 8 at 9 a.m. in the commissioners courtroom.
