are well below other cities.
A modest increase to fees would be the main change
to the ordinance, in which the money is used to fund
the food inspector. Kite presently serves the area as the
inspector.
When asked if the increase would cover the costs,
Ware noted that the extra funds would. The state recent-
ly made cuts to funding in this area, in which the addi-
tion to the fees would try to recover the lost funding.
The state of Texas mandates that all temporary food
services must have a permit. If they do not obtain one
from the local level, the state will require the service to
get one at their level.
At this time, temporary food vendors—who can set
up their space for up to fourteen days in conjunction
with an event—paid $25 for a one-time permit, whereas
retailers and restaurants have been paying $15 for a
one-time permit. Now, the fee for anyone who wants to
sell food has doubled to $50, which will also have to be
renewed annually from this point on.
After the presentation, the public hearing was closed
and the commissioners decided to approve the changes
for the county ordinance.

And since April, signs at the fieldhouse allow the commu-
nity to come and work out at the fieldhouse.
However, the facility has become a place to be used for
more than the weight lifting and dressing rooms. Prior to
the school year, around 300 free physicals were given at
the fieldhouse.
In addition, the building has been used for the Boy
Scouts, FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes) meetings,
registration for the past Heart Walk, team meals, Mustang
Moms meetings, football devotions and the Sammy Baugh
Football Classic.
Over the past Thanksgiving weekend, two playoff foot-
ball games were held at the Mustang Bowl, in which the
fieldhouse was used. Other outside groups have also used
the facility as a stopping point on their trips, including Sul
Ross University on two occasions and a six-man football
team.
As long as a Sweetwater coach is at the facility, the pub-
lic is welcome to use the fieldhouse, said Mobley.
Photos of the problems with the roof and ceiling were
shown to the board in a prepared packet, with tiles even
falling in the coaches' offices. With the roof the main con-
cern at the time, other desired renovations—like changes
in the rehabilitation room, among others—will have to be
put on hold, but the changes will be made at a later date in
order to restore the pride back into the fieldhouse.
The process will be a three-phase project: cleaning off
the roof, taking down the insulation and spraying polyure-
thane—similar to a thick truck lining—on the top of the big
room, and putting a surface down on the entire roof.
Some early bids point to a range from $70,000 to
$106,000, but a 10 to 15 year guarantee is being offered
for the roof repairs. Per square foot, the bids run from
$4.25/square foot (sq. ft.) to $6/sq. ft. for the roof, and
$2/sq. ft to $3.27/sq. ft. for the insulation.
Thus, the board approved for improvements to be made
at the fieldhouse, with repairs only to be done for the roof
and insulation at this time.
Also discussed were improvements for the middle
school tennis courts. The courts are sixteen years old and
the surface is cracking out, making the courts unplay-
able.
While more quotes will be obtained, one quote to com-
pletely repair the tennis courts is for $158,000. Later, the
windscreens at the courts will be replaced.
Approval was also given to repair the tennis courts at
the middle school by the board. For both projects, it was
noted that funds are available and the district will not be
stretched to cover the costs.
Additionally, the approval for both of these special situ-
ations allow for action to be taken, so that more bids can
be obtained so that work can begin immediately on the
projects.
