County commissioners are set to consider several key items, including a 90-day burn ban due to drought conditions. The current drought index is 534 out of 800 and is expected to rise. If approved, the burn ban would prohibit burning trash or lighting campfires in unincorporated areas, with fines of up to $500 for non-compliance.

Commissioners will also discuss allocating $300,000 for repairs to county buildings, such as the public health facility and community centers. Additionally, the sheriff's office is seeking a $500,000 grant for equipment and personnel. Further details on these proposals are available from the Commissioners Court agenda, which will be discussed at a meeting on Monday, August 24.
