Howard County Agrees to Join Updated West Texas Weather Modification Agreement; bylaws sent for signature

Commissioners reviewed updated bylaws for the West Texas weather modification agreement and approved joining the agreement. "I'll make a motion to enter into the West Texas weather modification agreement and bylaws," one commissioner said; another seconded the motion and the court approved it by voice vote.

Staff said action by other participating entities will precede signature packets being sent; the court noted this vote establishes the county's direction for its representative (identified in meeting discussion as Commissioner Wagner) to act at the regional committee. No additional conditions or funding commitments were described at the meeting. The Chair noted the signature paperwork would be circulated after partner approval and the county would ratify as appropriate.
