WASHINGTON CO. COMMISSIONERS TO VOTE ON HIRING PROPERTY INSPECTOR FOR PLANNED RECORDS STORAGE FACILITY
Washington County Commissioners will take the next step on Tuesday with the property recently purchased to be a document storage facility.
Commissioners will act on hiring Gessner Engineering to perform an inspection of the real property at 2509 Highway 105, the former location of ATS Irrigation.
At their meeting on March 19th, the court agreed to purchase the old ATS Irrigation building from Roger and Evon Schulze in the amount of $925,000. The county intends to move documents and records that are currently being held at the courthouse into the new storage facility.
Also on Tuesday, commissioners will consider changing the name of on-call investigator to on-call in the sheriff’s office, in order to allow for on-call pay for all deputy sheriffs.
The court will also vote on a services agreement with the Texas Association of Counties County Information Resources Agency, as well as a legal engagement agreement with Bickerstaff Heath Delgado Acosta, LLP for legal services. In addition, it will hear the Office of Emergency Management’s quarterly report.
An executive session will be held for commissioners to discuss the county’s public affairs director. The position has been held by Jason May since January. Any action by the court will be taken in open session.
In other business, commissioners will:
- Act on the execution of co-op unit agreements entitled Razorback Co-op, Big Al Elephant Co-op and Tater Tiger Co-op. County Attorney Renee Mueller said Magnolia Oil and Gas is creating co-op leases with some of their wells, and these three include mineral rights that the county owns within the areas of consolidation.
- Act on a final plat for Palestine Estates, consisting of five lots located along Palestine Road in Precinct 1.
- Consider the renewal of reserve deputy sheriff’s bonds for Daniel Gaskamp and Floyd Mathis.
- Discuss a formal notice for a temporary water transfer line installation by Wildfire Energy in the Harmon School Road and Oevermann Road right-of-way in Precinct 4.
Commissioners will meet Tuesday at 9 a.m. at the Washington County Courthouse.
