Mr. Webb said the car was old and was going to be junked <br /> soon. The city received $1,839.00 from the insurance company for the vehicle. <br /> The council asked the Sheriff why he had to get approval from the Quorum Court <br /> to fill a Metro position that has already been budgeted for. The Sheriff said a <br /> hiring freeze was put into place two years ago and he was instructed to go to the <br /> Quorum Court before hiring anyone. The council expressed their concern <br /> regarding this practice by the County. Mayor Biard said the council would take a <br /> look at the Interlocal Agreement after the March 23rd sales tax election. <br /> MAYOR'S ANNOUNCEMENTS <br />
