WASHINGTON CO. COMMISSIONERS TO HEAR ECONOMIC UPDATE
Washington County Commissioners will hold their next regular meeting on Tuesday.
The first major order of business will be Brenham | Washington County Economic Development’s quarterly update, followed by the presentation of a memorandum with the results of 2023 tax phase-in compliance. There will then be a quarterly report provided by the Information Technology Department.
In action items, the court will potentially accept a request for qualification (RFQ) for a wildlife manager for Washington County’s school land in Tom Green County. Commissioners went out for RFQs on January 16th, with County Judge John Durrenberger saying at the time that since the county is now dividing the usage of the land between grazing and hunting, the wildlife manager would assist with the hunting aspect of the land.
Also on Tuesday, commissioners will consider:
- A proposed change to the existing agreement between the county and Brannon Industrial Group for the annual spring cleanup event labor. The agreement change includes an increase for the 2024 annual rate to $9,000.
- Appointing Bryan Ruemke to represent Washington County as chairman of the Washington Volunteer Firefighters Association Board.
- A participation contract between the county and the Texas Emergency Services Retirement System on behalf of the Washington County Firefighters Association.
- Renewal of a state agency memorandum of understanding between the county and the Health and Human Services Commission for use of facility space at the Health and Service Center at 100 South Chappell Hill Street in Brenham.
Commissioners will meet Tuesday at 9 a.m. at the Washington County Courthouse.
