Barber County Board of Commissioners · July 1, 2026

Resident complaints about a local gun range prompted the board to ask Sheriff Garza to develop a plan, speak with neighbors and show progress to a concerned resident, Yvonne Burden. The minutes record that Garza will coordinate with neighbors but no formal policy change was voted.

At the July 13 meeting resident Yvonne Burden raised concerns about a local gun range and its effects on neighbors. The minutes state that Commissioner Bryan Quick "asked Sheriff Garza to come up with a plan on the Gun Range" and to work with neighbors and show Burden what has been built to date.

Sheriff Garza had presented his 2027 budget earlier in the meeting. The minutes record the board’s direction to the sheriff to consult with affected neighbors and provide a plan, but they do not show any formal vote to change gun‑range policy or regulations.
