County Clerk Kevin Alexander said that candidates for running for school board elections have until tomorrow, August 14th through the end of the workday. The same goes for Brownsville City Council candidated. He also said the upcoming delinquent tax sale is scheduled for September 11th. Alexander added that delinquent tax bills will be released to local media soon.

Parks and Rec: Parks Director A.B. Webb said that youth baseball and softball leagues were officially over and that soccer is ready to start, which has seen an increase in enrollment this year. He said reseeding of the t-ball field at HWY 70 had begun and work on other fields is pending, with needed rainfall. He added that a water faucet had been left on at one of the parks, which caused an enormous water bill. According to Webb, a coach left access to the faucet unlocked and someone later entered and left the faucet on. As a result, an automatic faucet was installed which should eliminate future issues.
