WASHINGTON CO. COMMISSIONERS TO COMMEMORATE 75TH ANNIVERSARY OF BRENHAM VFW POST
Washington County Commissioners will hear a special presentation in recognition of a local VFW post at their meeting Tuesday.
James F. Dillon VFW Post 7104 in Brenham is celebrating its 75th anniversary, and Post Commander Ben Seeker will speak to commissioners on Tuesday to recognize the occasion. The post mustered on May 2, 1946.
Also at Tuesday’s meeting, the court will consider approving regulations of political signs at county-owned polling places. Among the proposed regulations are preventing political signs from being larger than four square feet or taller than four feet, limiting individual candidates or items on the ballot to one sign on the property, disallowing signs that obstruct vision for traffic, and requiring signs to be removed within three days after the voting period.
Commissioners will also hear the EMS annual report and consider approval of hourly rate changes as approved by EMS Director Kevin Deramus, with future consideration for an hourly rate change for all emergency personnel.
The court will also:
- Hear the Washington County Expo monthly report and act upon approval of the position description for maintenance supervisor at the Expo.
