Kovar will take the oath of office after defeating Lee Ann Dumbauld in the March primaries.
He s retiring from LP&L after 23 years and says his experience will help in his transition. I feel like I m going to come in a little more comfortable than what others would not having a background in working for a city government, he said.Â
Precinct 1 is the fastest-growing part of Lubbock County. Kovar s plans to focus on keeping up with the boom and improve roadways. Our roads are needing a lot of repair, he said. That goes from dirt roads, caliche and paved. And we just have to do everything wisely.
He says he hopes that showed.
After 16 years in office, Commissioner McCay will be stepping down at the end of the week when commissioner-elect Terence Kovar is sworn in as commissioner of Lubbock County s Precinct 1.
McCay came into office in 2005, and has served four terms. He says it doesn t feel like he s served four terms. He said time flies when you re having fun. I love what I did, and I hope it showed, McCay said about his time in office. I love everything about the job the phone calls, the complaints at all hours of the day, on weekends and evenings. I hope folks know I loved what I was doing, and I worked hard at it. I think I fulfilled my campaign promise, which was to work as hard as I could.
