COMMISSIONERS TO APPROVE CONTRACT BETWEEN PARTIES FOR 2016 JOINT PRIMARY ELECTION

  

The Washington County Commissioners will discuss a Joint Resolution granting the Washington County Election Administrator/County Clerk the authority to contract with the Washington County Republican and Democratic Party for a Joint Primary Election in 2016 when they meet at their Tuesday meeting at 9am.

The Commissioners will discuss and approve an appointment to the Washington County Child Welfare Board. The name of the candidate being considered is available at the County Judge’s office.

Also on the agenda is the awarding of a bid for the lease of 1.293 acres of land off of FM 1948 in Washington County near Burton, for the purpose of oil and gas development.

Back on November 17, this item had been tabled due to only one bid being received, and that was from Geo Southern. The commissioners had decided at that time that since the county attorney had not yet reviewed the contract and approved it, the motion to approve the bid was tabled until that time.

The commissioners will meet in the court chambers at the Washington County Courthouse.
