County looks at van options

Shackelford County commissioners had a lengthy discussion during a Feb. 11 regular session about whether to pursue a contract to use Walker Sayle Unit clients to perform local projects, but eventually decided to table the issue.

The cost of providing transportation for the Breckenridge workers was the biggest concern for commissioners, although there were other questions.

Information about 15-passenger vans, cost of insurance, and options for furnishing porta-potties will be brought to the Feb. 25 session.
