Court allocates LATCF funds for courthouse camera upgrades and CDL training
Summary
Brewster County commissioners approved using historical‑preservation funds for camera/DVR replacement and allocated $12,000 from LATCF for a CDL Class A training program and instructor fees to address county driver shortages.
The court reviewed remaining LATCF allocations and approved two specific uses: replacing legacy DVR/NVR camera systems (authorized from historical‑preservation funds) and funding a local CDL Class A training program for county employees using LATCF dollars. The judge said about $380,000 remained in LATCF and moved to allocate approximately $90,951.60 from historical preservation for camera system replacement and $12,000 from LATCF for a truck‑driving school; the motion was seconded and approved.
Commissioners discussed logistics including an instructor from Fort Davis who can teach locally at a reduced government rate, the cost per trainee (roughly $5,900 per person for a month‑long program), and an expectation that trainees would sign retention agreements. The allocation also included fees for the instructor to come onsite.
