COMMISSIONERS HEAR COUNTY AUDIT REPORT
The Washington County Commissioners heard and approved the 2014 audit report, submitted by Lewis Crane, of the auditing firm of Rutledge, Crain, and Company, Certified Public Accountants.
Crane reported to the Commissioners that, overall, the budget of the county was healthy, despite all the issues facing the county, and that there was a 42% fund reserve, and an unfunded liability for future healthcare cost of $1,395,000, which is slightly over from the previous year.
There was also a presentation of the 2014 Distinguished Service Award given to the Washington County Historical Commission by the Texas Historical Commission.
The presentation was given to Dr. Wilfred Dietrich and Gertrude Schroeder.
The Commission has received this award for more than twenty continuous years.
Dr. Dietrich stressed the importance of passing on the county’s history to the younger generations.
The commissioners named and approved Gina Hayward as the appointment to the Washington County Child Welfare Board
The Commissioners approved a variance request for the subdivision platting requirement for a land division fronting McCraven School Road and Lone Star Road in the E.D. Jackson Survey and part of the William and Peter Kerr Survey in Precinct 1.
Commissioner Zeb Heckman told the Court that the owner of the land wished to take two tracts of land out of his 25 acres; one two acre tract and one three acre tract, and that everything else was in order.
