Commissioners Court 8 11 2026

The Washington County Texas Commissioners Court held a meeting on August 11, 2026, where key procurement and budget-related matters were discussed. The court approved the issuance and sale of Washington County Certificates of Obligation Series 2026 to fund the construction of a judicial center, despite a petition protesting the issuance falling short of required signatures. The court received 12 bids for the certificates, with the winning bid at an interest rate of 4.41%, slightly above the budgeted rate due to market volatility. Additionally, the court approved a resolution and contract amendment committing up to $21,535 for an archaeological study required as part of a federal grant-funded infrastructure project. Other procurement-related actions included approval of rental regulation contracts for the Washington County Expo and acceptance of a $300 donation to the Sheriff's Office. The court also approved various official bonds and appointments related to law enforcement personnel. Motions to approve meeting minutes, accounts, and election orders were also passed during the session.
