Commissioners name HAS Park detention pond for longtime county engineer Charles Calchemy
Summary
By voice vote the court amended the agenda to name the detention pond at HAS Park after Charles Calchemy, citing his decades of surveying and drainage work in Waller County. Commissioners and a state representative described Calchemy's long service and local ties.
Waller County Commissioners Court approved a motion to name the detention facility at HAS Park after Charles Calchemy, a longtime local surveyor and engineer, after a brief discussion on the court floor.
Staff explained the naming would apply only to the detention pond (not the entire park) to allow invitations for a planned November 16 groundbreaking. Commissioners recounted Calchemy's decades of service and local surveying work; one commissioner said Calchemy began work in the 1980s and had been involved on many projects, sometimes without compensation. The court amended the agenda to name the facility and then approved item 36 as amended by voice vote.
