WASHINGTON CO. COMMISSIONERS TO HEAR FROM CITY AT NEXT MEETING

  

Washington County Commissioners will host a discussion with City of Brenham officials on the preliminary plans for a Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone, when they meet Tuesday morning.

Brenham City Manager James Fisher will present the Commissioners with an update on the proposal.

At the last Brenham City Council meeting, City Financial Officer Carolyn Miller reported that the proposed reinvestment zone would contain approximately 2,200 acres of land, mainly located along the Highway 290, South Market Street, and West Main Street corridors.  Miller said the boundary map focuses on undeveloped and mainly non-residential areas.

Also during Tuesday morning’s workshop session, the commissioner’s court will meet with Specialized Public Finance Inc., to discuss bonding for future projects—such as, the new communications facility.

During the regular session, the commissioners are expected to:

Discuss hiring a new Assistant County Attorney at a salary higher than the designated starting salary, due to experience.

Discuss advertising for oil and gas leases on county-owned school land in Tom Green County.

And, award contracts for bids for Road and Bridge materials.

County Commissioners meet Tuesday morning at 9:00 at the Washington County Courthouse.
