Maverick County commissioners will discuss the future of fire and emergency medical services, including a possible full-time career fire department, at a special meeting Wednesday, Nov. 4, according to the posted agenda. The agenda is dated Oct. 29 and signed by County Judge Pablo Garcia Jr. The meeting is listed for 5 p.m. in the Commissioners Courtroom at the Maverick County Courthouse, 500 Quarry St. The county's homepage lists the start time as 4 p.m., and residents may call the County Judge's office to confirm.
Item 9, placed on the agenda by Commissioner Olga Ramos, covers options including a volunteer fire department model, a career fire department, or any other option allowed by law. The agenda does not include cost estimates or a staff recommendation.
Commissioners will also hear a presentation from Hamer Enterprise on a possible scofflaw program, followed by a separate vote on whether to approve it. The agenda does not describe how the program would work. Under Texas law, counties can contract with a vendor to flag vehicle registration renewals for people who owe unpaid fines or fees.
