The Caney Valley Historical Society asks the Montgomery County Commission to consider increasing its funding. Historical Society President Dale McBride says the museum has made a number of changes to be more fiscally fit.  As part of the restructuring, the museum would like to county to double its contribution from just over $2,600 to $5,300. Commissioners agreed to consider the request.

The panel also approved the purchase of 42-hot shield masks for rural firefighters to use when battling grass fires.
