The Ellis County Commission will consider allowing Road and Bridge crews to assist the cities of Ellis and Victoria with street rehabilitation projects this summer.

The county has helped with asphalt sealing projects in previous years. County Administrator Phillip Smith-Hanes said there is no additional cost to the county other than budgeted staff and equipment.

Ellis County Treasurer Ann Pfeifer will also present the commission with a sales tax revenue update. According to the report the county, combined with the city of Hays collected the lowest sales tax revenue since the county began collection of sales tax to pay for the Courthouse/Law Enforcement Center and Emergency Services Building projects.

Monday’s meeting starts at 5 p.m. with the Ellis County Public Building Commission at the County Administrative Center Commission Room.
