ROCK YOUR SOCKS … The Williams County Commissioners Office posed for a photo during their March 21st session, in honor of World Down Syndrome Day as “every year on March 21, people all around the world come together to celebrate World Down Syndrome Day by wearing brightly colored, mismatched socks. March 21 is symbolic because people with Down Syndrome have three copies of their 21st chromosome.”

The Williams County Commissioners met regularly last week on Tuesday and Thursday, with Tuesday beginning 9 a.m.
Commissioners Lew Hilkert, Bart Westfall, and Terry Rummel then passed three resolutions, and signed the Dog Warden report through March 17th, a letter of support for the POW/MIA Memorial Viaduct and Gold and Blue Star Families Memorial Bridge, a carpet request from Judge Seltzer, the minutes of their March 14, 2024 meeting, and the bills as presented.
Thursday began at 9 a.m., with the commissioners then passing two resolutions and signing the credit card expenditures for the 911 communications department and the prosecutor’s office for the month of March, credit card expenditures for April for the engineer’s office and commissioners’ office, a window shade quote for the Courthouse, the minutes of Tuesday’s meeting, and the bills as presented.
They then met with new Health Commissioner Oscar Hernandez, who detailed that they are wanting a letter of support for the new consolidated Williams County Health Department building.
Funding previously awarded may be revoked due to budget changes, and so further funding is being applied for.
The applications for these funds require letters of support, which the commissioners agreed to do.
This week’s resolutions: 24-0127: supplemental appropriations; 24-0128: agreement approval; 24-0129: approval of memorandum of understanding; 24-0130: approval of transfer requests; 24-0131: JFS-IV-E agreement.
