WASHINGTON CO. COMMISSIONERS TO CONSIDER AMBULANCE MODULE PURCHASE
A new build ambulance module for the Washington County EMS department will be among Tuesday’s business for Washington County Commissioners.
The 14-foot module, if approved, would come from Frazer LTD. After trade-in allowance, the purchase would be for $226,964 from EMS’ 2024 budgeted funds.
Commissioners will also consider a service contract between the sheriff’s office and Dronesense for a three-year license, totaling $2,900 per year for three years.
In addition, the court will look to cancel solicitation for bids on the courthouse chiller replacement project. Washington County Facilities Manager Bobby Branham told commissioners at their most recent meeting that several vendors reached out to the county about the project, but Carrier Air Conditioning stopped making the model that the county was seeking bids for.
An executive session will be held at the conclusion of the regular session to deliberate regarding the purchase, exchange, lease or value of real property. Any action will be taken when the court reconvenes in open session.
Also on Tuesday, commissioners will consider:
- Enrolling in Texas Association of Counties cybersecurity training for the 2024 reporting year.
- An oil and gas development permit for Watt Energy, LLC on Janner Kuecker Lane in Precinct 3.
- Proficiency certificates and incentive pay for licensed telecommunications personnel.
- A 90-day extension of time to use vacation hours for Erik Ver Schuur and Justin Knuppel.
- Discussion of a formal notice for fiber handhole installation by Industry Telephone Company in the Winedale Road and Klatt Road rights-of-way in Precinct 4.
Commissioners will meet Tuesday at 9 a.m. at the Washington County Courthouse.
