Quitman council approves agreement for 9-1-1 database with East Texas council

Posted

The Quitman City Council approved the East Texas Council of Governments (ETCOG) 9-1-1 database maintenance agreement renewal for 2020 on Sept. 26. The annual agreement renewal is a slight decrease from last year and is $1,010. The contract includes providing mapping services and maintenance of the 9-1-1 database. Also in Wood County, Mineola’s cost is $3,023, Winnsboro $2,943, Hawkins $629 and Alba $81.

The council approved the appointment of Sam and Martha Scroggins to the Wood County Economic Development Commission (WCEDC), formerly the Wood County Industrial Commission. Board member Joanne Wisdom’s term carries through to September 2020. (See related story on board members who received letters that they would not be reappointed.)

A recommendation was made to downsize the number of representatives on the WCEDC board by a task force appointed by County Judge Lucy Hebron, but nothing official has been determined. “The understanding we have is the judge (Hebron) did not like the recommendation and there has been no decision whatsoever,” Sam Scroggins said. “She is still pondering the recommendation. We are all confused.”

Dunn nominated Carley Tucker to the planning and zoning commission pending her acceptance.  The council approved the nomination of Dr. John Johnson to the Wood County Appraisal District Board of Directors.
