WASHINGTON CO. COMMISSIONERS COURT TO DISCUSS PROPERTY TAX RATE

  

The Washington County Commissioners Court will meet Tuesday morning to discuss the 2016 property tax rate.

Commissioners will also schedule two public hearings on the proposed property tax rate in Washington County at that time.

The court is also discussing the approval of the statewide automated victim notification service maintenance grant contract between the Attorney General’s Office and Washington County. They will address the renewal of the service agreement between Appriss, Inc. and Washington County for the Victim Information and Notification Everyday program (VINE). The VINE service allows crime victims to obtain timely and reliable information about criminal cases and the custody status of offenders 24 hours a day. It has been providing victims and concerned citizens with information for decades.

Commissioners will also respond to the request to close roads for a 5K walk/run fundraiser for the Rocky Creek Volunteer Fire Department. The fire department is requesting to close Longpoint Road from Bates Lane to Rehburg Road in Burton for the 5k fundraiser on September 24th from 8 a.m. to 9:30 a.m.

In addition, the court will discuss the approval of the revised emergency medical services supplement to the Washington County personnel policy manual; discuss a variance request from subdivision rules and regulations for a land division fronting Lange Lake Road and Brindle Creek Lane in Brenham; and hold a public hearing on the proposed Washington County Clerk’s record archive plan for 2017.

The Washington County Commissioners will meet Tuesday morning at 9 a.m. at the Washington County Courthouse Chambers #103.
