The commissioners also approved a Resolution for the abandonment and conveyance of 0.476 acre of a county road right-of-way on Bluehaven Hill Road in Precinct 2, located in the Bluebonnet Hills subdivision.
The Washington County Engineer received approval from the Commissioners to obtain their annual bids for items such as tree removal, culverts, drive bridge pilings, fuels for different County departments, as well as road construction materials and steel products.
Also approved was a Proclamation declaring Saturday, November 7, 2015 as “Relay for Life Day” in Washington County.
Regarding the recent vehicle purchase. So With The Big push to buy locally because it supports the local economy.
Why is the city purchasing outside the city???? This is just another case of hypocrisy.
