At a regular meeting on April 28th at the County Courthouse, the DeWitt County Commissioners discussed illegal dumping of tires and trash that has significantly burdened taxpayers with cleanup costs and may result in stricter environmental enforcement measures. The court also lifted the burn ban on April 29th following their meeting. For guidelines on outdoor burning, please refer to https://www.co.dewitt. tx.us/page/dewitt. Emergency.
Another topic covered was the DeWitt County Historical Commission's annual report, highlighting the work of 51 active members who accrued 4,298 volunteer hours, and significant projects like a Civil War exhibit, a history book distributed to museums and schools, and a program of Texas history through the American and Texas Revolutions.
Otherwise, it was a short session with many decisions pending, such as the appraisal property tax, JP replacement for Precinct 1, and placement of the bronze Alamo Letter.
