Jack County approves $20,000 for Jacksboro sesquicentennial celebration
Summary
The Jack County Commissioners Court on July 28 approved a $20,000 contribution from reserve funds to support the Jacksboro Sesquicentennial celebration Sept. 26–27, 2025 after a presentation from Jacksboro city officials; the motion passed unanimously (5-0).
County Judge Brian Keith Umphress moved to provide $20,000 from county reserve funds to support the Jacksboro Sesquicentennial celebration scheduled for Sept. 26–27, 2025 following a presentation by Roxanna Maddox, Jacksboro city manager. Commissioner Gary Oliver seconded the motion and the court approved it unanimously (5-0).
Maddox outlined celebration plans and requested county financial support; the minutes record the court’s approval but do not list a detailed breakdown of how the county contribution will be spent. The decision directs county reserve funds to the sesquicentennial but does not record additional implementation steps or reporting requirements in the minutes.
The approval occurred as part of the court’s regular session; no public vote beyond the commissioners’ roll-call was recorded. The minutes do not specify whether the city or a designated committee will administer the county funds or the timetable for fund disbursement.
