The Potter County Commissioners’ Court will meet at 9 a.m. Monday in the Potter County Commissioners’ Courtroom, 350 S.E. 6th Ave., Suite 2141. Among the agenda items, the commissioners will be considering a 90-day burn ban running Oct. 28 through Jan. 26, a contract with the Panhandle Regional Veteran’s Court and Cenikor, a Friends of Crossbar update, ARPA funded project proposals, and a contract with Turn Key Health for inmate medical services at the Potter County Detention Center.
The recommendations from the county’s ARPA Committee on State and Local Fiscal Recovery (SLFRF) funded projects include $58,000 for an interlocal agreement to facilitate the demolition of dilapidated, county-owned building to advance Potter 4-H’s effort to develop a new multi-purpose facility. Another proposed project would widen and improve Jim Line Road around the campus of Bushland ISD High School to ensure safety of students and parents arriving to and leaving from school.
The court will also review moving its first November meeting to Nov. 12 to accommodate the Veteran’s Day holiday closure. Also on the agenda is an interlocal agreement between Potter County and Armstrong County on the Panhandle Area Public Defender’s Office.
