for new furniture in the clinic --Met with Craig and An-
lobby, at a cost of $5,854. With
little discussion, the commis-
sioners agreed to Mrs.
Zimmerman's request, with the
$9,000 coming from the county
building fund. She reported that
the work should be completed
within the month.
--Met in a short executive
session to discuss personnel
matters with Road and Bridge
Supervisor Hernandez.
--Heard Hernandez request
that a new computer be pur-
chased for the road and bridge
secretary. It would replace the
old one in that office which he
said has been losing some
backup information. The com-
missioners told him to check and
see where the computers in the
courthouse offices have been
purchased, and look into the cost
of one there and get one pur-
chased to meet his needs.
-- Heard Hemandez ask if the
commissioners were interested
in allowing other counties or in-
dividuals pay to dump tires at
the county landfill. Comanche
County has a permit to cut up
and bury tires at the landf'fll. The
commissioners instructed him to
look further into the costs in-
volved before they would make
any decision on the matter.
--Instructed Hernandez to
compute the costs involved in
mowing the county road ditches
to determine the feasibility of
contracting with local farmers or
a company to mow the ditches.
Tire commissioners also dis-
cussed the possibility of hiring
someone to handle some of the
other functions now handled by
the road and bridge department.
--Heard Hernandez discuss
the possibility of using concrete
riprap for constructing two low-
water crossings which have

drew Fischer of Cathodic Sys-
tems Company of Ellinwood who
proposed to contract the job of
mowing the county road ditches
at a contract rate of $75 per hour.
Commissioner Unruh explained
that the commissioners would
like a per mile rate instead of an
hourly rate in order to compare
with the current costs. Fischer
said he was planning to pur-
chase a new, larger mower, and
could put together some per-
mile figures and let the commis-
sioners know by their next meet-
ing.
--Received a report from
Hernandez the number of miles
per day covered by each of the
county's four road grader opera-
tors. Those figures varied from
19.5 miles per day to 35.5 miles.
--Heard Hernandez report
that the county's 33-year-old
belly-dump trailer is now in need
of some major repairs, and will
need to be replaced "one of these
days."

missioner Harlie Haas on a re-
