Washington County Commissioners approved the purchase of patrol vehicle from the City of Burton for $29,000 during their weekly meeting this (Tuesday) morning.  The 2018 Chevy Tahoe is already equipped as a law enforcement vehicle and includes provisions for a drug dog.  The City of Burton was selling the vehicle after Greg Rolling resigned the Police Chief’s position last August.

Commissioners also approved a resolution with TxDOT for $618,000 in funds for the repair of roads damaged by heavy oil field traffic.  The grant includes a 20 percent match by the county, which commissioner Joy Fuchs said would be spent on the roads anyway.

In other action, the commissioners:

  • Approved the purchase of 2 new truck chassis for the Washington County EMS
  • Approved the purchase of new patrol rifles for the Washington County Sheriff’s Office
  • Approved the Washington County Fairgrounds Management to accept credit and debit cards
  • Honored employees Denice Franco, Janet Daniel, and Jerod Hartfield for their 10 years of service to the county.
Washington County employees Janet Daniel (L) and Denice Franco (R) are honored along with Jerod Hartfield (not pictured) by County Judge John Durrenberger (center) for 10 years of service to the county. (masks removed temporarily for photo)
