Galveston County Commissioners Court

Galveston County Commissioners Court this morning voted to lease an office in the League City Annex to State Representative Larry Taylor.

The commissioners court voted to ask the Texas Legislature to create Municipal Utility District 53 on 370 acres northwest of the intersection of FM 517 and State Highway 146.

The commissioners court voted to sell several parcels of tax foreclosed property on the Bolivar Peninsula.

The commissioners court paid special recognition to Agricultural Extension Agent Corrie Bowen, who is moving to Brazoria County.

"I did have four wonderful years in Galveston," who explained that the only reason he is leaving is to be closer to his family. 

"We've been fortunate to have your services for the past four years," said County Judge Jim Yarbrough.  "The department is better off because of your time here."

All other agenda items were approved.   All votes were unanimous.
