Sheriff Eric Geske told the Commissioners Court on March 25 that the Parmer County Jail was housing 35 inmates, 12 of whom were from Lubbock County and 23 Parmer County inmates.

Geske presented the Racial Profiling Report to the court; Judge Isabel Izzy Carrasco moved to accept the report as presented, Commissioner Kirk Frye seconded and the motion passed by majority vote. The minutes indicate the report was accepted and is attached for the record.

On the subject of local asset-forfeiture agreements, Sheriff Geske said the documents were not ready for presentation. Judge Carrasco moved to table the agreements until the next meeting; Commissioner Frye seconded and the motion to table passed by majority vote.

Separately, Commissioner Charles Wilkins reported as information that the hood of Precinct 2’s water truck had been blown off during high winds the previous day. With no further business, the court adjourned at 10:35 a.m.
