County considers free, ad-supported benches for golf course under three-year Bench Craft agreement
Summary
Scurry County court reviewed a three-year agreement with Bench Craft Company to supply and maintain free cedar-and-metal benches for the county golf course in exchange for local advertising; minimum order six benches, delivery in 30–120 days, and a one-year notice required to end the contract.
Scurry County court discussed and tentatively approved terms to enter a three-year agreement with Bench Craft Company to supply and install benches at the county golf course. Speaker 5 described the offer as essentially free to the county because the company sells advertising on the benches to local businesses. "The biggest word they use is free," Speaker 5 said while outlining specifications and timelines.
Speaker 5 told the court the benches are cedar and metal, weigh about 77 pounds, and the company handles delivery, installation and maintenance. There is a minimum order of six benches; suggested placement included two in front of the pro shop, two at the driving range and two on the putting green. Delivery was estimated at 30 to 120 days depending on schedule, and the agreement runs three years with a one-year notice required to terminate so the company can stop selling advertising.
Court members discussed concerns about theft or vandalism and whether rope or other anti-theft measures would be needed. The court also discussed signing logistics; Speaker 2 said the agreement will be signed and returned to the company as agreed.
No formal vote text or roll-call tally appears in the transcript for final adoption of the contract; the discussion records intent to sign and logistical next steps.
