Falkville Town Council voted to use Morgan County to collect sales, use and rental taxes at its regular monthly meeting Tuesday night. The service has been provided in the past by the State Revenue Department.

Mayor Bob Ramey said by contracting the service to the county the town will be receiving its tax revenue in a timelier manner and saving money.

The Council acted on other matters as follows:

•Approved a joint funding agreement between the town and the U. S. Geological Survey for $15,900.

for computer maintenance, effective Oct. 1, 2013, through Sept. 30, 2014.
