SHERMAN -- Grayson County commissioners will talk taxes at 10 a.m. on Monday in the Grayson County Courthouse as they consider the 2009 tax roll and levy presented by Grayson County Tax Assessor Collector John Ramsey.

Commissioners will also talk money when they consider a request to accept a $15,000 donation from an anonymous donor for the purchase of bullet-proof vests for deputies.

County leaders will also consider a request to recognize citizens who completed the 2009 Community Emergency Respone Team training offered by the Grayson County Office of Emergency Management.

Commissioners will also consider a request to authorize County Judge Drue Bynum to execute an interlocal agreement with NCTTRAC for Video Teleconferencing Project. The request to put this item on the Court's agenda said that the video teleconferencing project, "improves regional health and medical response capacity by providing video teleconferencing equipment for communications between regional and local emergency operations centers, and selected acute care facilities, and provides a redundant communications medium for response officials during emergencies."
