The Commissioners Court approved a resolution Tuesday opposing the disturbing of the Bessie Heights Marsh area of Orange County. Barges have been using the marsh as a fleeting area which could have an environmental impact. County Judge Brint Carlton said the resolution recognizes the environmental and economic impact of the Bessie Heights Marsh area in the county. The resolution asks both state and federal officials to work to ensure that this type of situation does not happen again.
The Commissioners allowed Lisa Reeves of Management Information Systems on Tuesday to purchase two servers for use by the courthouse. Each server will cost about $1500 while hosting computers and data from several departments in the county.
The 128th District Court received approval from the Court to purchase a Fujitsu Document Scanner. The scanner will cost $858 and will be paid for through a line item transfer in the 128th District Court’s budget.
Patrick Beebe with the Mosquito Control Department was approved to make a line item transfer to pay for the special delivery of mosquito tests that are sent to Austin. Beebe confirmed his department is keeping the mosquito population at bay currently despite the recent heavy rains.
