Scurry County Commissioners Court Meeting Tuesday June 17, 2008 10am-10:45 am
The meeting was called to order and begun with invocation and pledge to the flags.
A hospital report was given by Evan Moore (CEO). Plans are under way to use the Bryce Building as a specialty clinic to include a Women’s Clinic. The hospital passed audits and evaluations pertaining to their use of funding and applications for future funding are being processed to meet deadlines. The hospital district election results will be considered in further decisions concerning Cogdell. Be aware that the Hospital Board meeting may be moved to June 30.
Linda Jones from the Scurry County Library reported that successful library programs are being conducted during the summer months. There are 156 K-6th graders, 30 teens and many Senior Adults in the programs. There were 81 kids present during the police department presentation.
Larry Thompson reported that the Parks employees are busy preparing for the 4th of July activities and that their work week during the summer is Monday –Thursday 7am to 5pm and 7am to noon on Fridays. He also reported that the splash pad continues to be plagued by a highly sensitive pump. Soap, suntan lotion and sand levels trip the pump to shut-down and cause damage to parts that continually need to be replaced. The Parks Dept is hoping to have the splash pad working by noon today.
Discussion on the county pool was on the agenda but no representative from the company was present. Mr. Thompson has many questions to ask the pool rep in hoping to eliminate such problems as the splash pad is having. Questions need to be answered in water conservation and recycling to best suit the new construction. Target date for new pool opening is Memorial Day 2009.

Airtricity has financial offices in Chicago, an office in Austin and their main office is in Germany.
