Court sets dump‑day schedule, approves CDL training funding for county drivers
Summary
Commissioners confirmed upcoming resident‑only dump‑day dates and approved funding to upgrade county Class B drivers to Class A licenses to address staffing needs and equipment operation; staff to report back with numbers for budgeting.
The court reviewed road and bridge operations and logistics for county dump days and approved funding for selected county employees to upgrade from Class B to Class A commercial driver’s licenses (CDL).
Staff confirmed dump‑day dates and times: Terlingua on May 2, and dump days in Alpine and Marathon on May 9, all resident‑only events from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., with no commercial contractors allowed and items containing refrigerants or hazardous materials prohibited. The road and bridge supervisor provided a contact number for residents with questions.
Commissioners also discussed a vehicle title issue for a recently delivered truck, then debated investing in CDL training to retain operators and meet staffing needs. The judge moved to approve funding for moving county drivers from Class B to Class A where appropriate; commissioners seconded and the motion passed. Road and Bridge was directed to report back with the number of employees to be trained and a budget figure at the next meeting.
