COUNTY SET TO APPROVE SCHOOL LANDS REPORT
The Washington County commissioners are set to approve its 2013-2014 school lands report at this morning's meeting and will disburse the funds to Brenham and Burton Independent School Districts. Both school districts receive funds on an annual basis from lands located in Tom Green County. The land was given to the school districts from the State of Texas in the late 19th century for the counties to use to fund their districts though leasing or selling the land.
Washington County has leased their land to people and businesses to be used as a ranch or a site for natural resources.
Also on agenda is the cancellation of the November 11th meeting due to the observance of Veteran’s Day, and discuss and act upon the granting of the County Treasurer authority to pay necessary bills during that week is the meeting is cancelled, and discuss and act upon the approval of accounts payable.
The commissioners will meet today at 9am at the Washington County Courthouse.
