Proclamation and public testimony
The court unanimously approved a proclamation proclaiming March 2025 as colorectal cancer awareness month. Miss Casey Murphy introduced her daughters; her oldest, 13-year-old Parker Murphy, read a prepared statement honoring her grandmother (Gigi) and urging timely colorectal screening: \"I want to honor my Gigi's memory and keep any other family from feeling that pain ... This is why getting screened for colon cancer as soon as possible ... is best.\"

Expo rentals and minutes
The court approved seven pending Washington County Expo rental contracts for events the county described as a graduation party, a wedding, a book sale, two ranch riding shows, a drive-through fundraiser and a Christmas breakfast. The court also approved the commissioners court meeting minutes for February 2025 after the clerk noted corrections and additions had been made.

Subdivision replat orders
County planning staff presented two replat requests and recommended approval. The Timber Bridge Subdivision replat combines Lots 22 and 23 into a new Lot 22A of 6.205 acres; staff said required public notice and mailings within 200 feet complied with Texas Local Government Code requirements. The Rolling Creek replat combines multiple lots into proposed lots 26A (21.229 acres) and 25C (16.124 acres); staff said there are no changes to public right-of-way or parks and that notice requirements were met.

Public notice for Colvin Road waterline
County staff described a proposed 2-inch waterline extension across the Colvin Road right-of-way in Precinct 3. The extension length was given as 485 feet, with one 160-foot segment to be bored rather than open-cut because right-of-way is narrow in that area; staff said easements are being obtained for most of the route and the work meets county requirements.

Indigent defense grant and accounts payable
The court approved a routine resolution for the 2025 indigent defense grant program and then approved accounts payable as presented. The finance summary in the meeting said the bills to be paid totaled about $370,001 (transcript contains a partial transcription of the amount); the speaker noted a sizable repair on a county vehicle for which the county expects partial insurance reimbursement.

A motion to appoint \"Nicholas Don Pritzler, county clerk of Washington County, to be effective 03/28/2025 at 05:01PM\" was made and seconded and the court voted \"aye.\" The transcript does not record a roll-call by name.

Pritzler addressed the court briefly after the vote and thanked the judge, commissioners and the county clerk's office. \"I just want to say thank you to the court, and, of course, to Miss Beth,\" he said, referring to the outgoing clerk. He said he looked forward to learning more and working with courthouse staff.

Speakers at the meeting praised the outgoing clerk, identified in the record only as Beth, for preserving historical county records. One commissioner recalled being shown an 1830s–1840s notarial book and described the importance of maintaining handwritten historical records; county staff later said the item is being preserved off-site.

County staff and commissioners discussed transitional tasks the clerk's office must complete, including ordering certification stamps and updating marriage-license paperwork and other records that carry the clerk's name.

A commissioner asked whether the appointment was interim; the judge and other speakers clarified it is not listed as interim in the motion. The appointee and county staff said some preparatory steps would be taken before his effective date to ensure continuity.

The court then congratulated Pritzler and invited him and family members forward for recognition.

Why it matters: The county clerk maintains vital public records, marriage licenses and historical documents. Commissioners emphasized record preservation and a planned transition ahead of the effective date.","Washington County Commissioners on March 11 appointed Nicholas Don Pritzler to be county clerk effective March 28, 2025.

The county economic development office told commissioners the company applied to Washington County on Dec. 17, 2024, and the city of Brenham approved a related incentive on March 6, 2025. County staff said the project sits in Reinvestment Zone Number 53 on a 29.153-acre parcel identified in materials as 3015 and 3151 South Bluebell Road in Brenham. Total capital investment for the project was stated as $14,000,000, and county staff said Del Sol expects to hire about 20 additional employees.

\"On Dec. 17, 2024, Washington County Economic Development received an application for a tax phase-in and abatement from Del Sol Food Company Incorporated, which has now been processed,\" said Miss Rosales, representing Washington County Economic Development. She told the court the company also sought and received a city-level incentive through Brenham.

Del Sol representatives were present. Scott Eckert, identified in the meeting as president and CEO of Del Sol, attended along with Sam Summer, vice president of finance and accounting, and answered commissioner questions about the expansion.

A commissioner moved to approve the resolution adopting the county's commercial tax phase-in agreement with Del Sol Food Company Inc.; another commissioner seconded the motion. The motion carried after the court voted \"aye.\" The record does not list roll-call votes by name in the transcript.

Why it matters: County officials said the agreement supports local business investment and will add jobs in the Brenham area. The county also noted this application was filed before Washington County updated its tax phase-in policy; staff said future applications will follow the newer policy.

The court did not record a roll-call tally in the transcript; the motion was announced as carried following an \"aye\" vote by those present.","Washington County Commissioners on March 11 approved a commercial tax phase-in agreement with Del Sol Food Company Inc. for an expansion in Brenham that the county economic development office says involves about $14 million in capital investment and roughly 20 new jobs.","actionData","errors"]
