Chambers County Receives Great Audit
Chamber of Commerce Launches Fi r e w o r k s O v e r W i n n i e Pa r k
50 cents
Judge Larry Cryer was honored for 40 years of service during a recent Chambers County Commissioners Court.
Posters of Armed Services Active and Veterans lined the fence along the Winnie Stowell Park for the 4th of July festivities.
After Commissioners Court, several of the Commissioners toured a mass casualty bus that was parked outside the Courthouse. The bus is capable of transporting 21 individuals at one time, has a 30 KW generator on board and can be a power plant for an Emergency Operations Center, and can support up to five ambulances with power at one time. Chambers County is looking at the purchase of a somewhat smaller version(maybe 1/2 size) for use in its EMS program.
By Wade Thibodeaux The Chambers County Commissioners Court met in regular session on Tuesday, June 28, 2022 at 9:30 am. in the County Courtroom of the Chambers County Courthouse in Anahuac, Texas. The Court heard from their outside auditor who reported that the County had received an unmodified opinion, which is the best rating that can be achieved and means that the auditor is satisfied with the way that the County is conducting their business. In other action, the Court approved a resolution that recognized the 40 plus years of service from Justice of the Peace, Precinct 6 Larry Cryer. Judge Cryer was in court to accept the resolution and was very humble in saying a few words to thank the court, his staff, and all of the elected officials that he has been associated with over the years. Judge Cryer is not planning on retiring, this was just a way for the
Court to say thank you to a person that has given the majority of his life to public service. The Commissioners also approved a list of agenda items that dealt with the sale of the Arboretum in Winnie. Chambers County is involved because on paper, the County owns the nursing home to be able to participate in a governmental program that provides additional funds for homes that excel in the care of patients. The new operators will be Creative Solutions, Inc. the largest nursing home operators in the state of Texas and is headquartered in Ft. Worth. CSI is acquiring 9 homes from the Arboretum Group and were planned to assume operations on July 1, 2022. The next regular session of Chambers County Commissioners Court will be Tuesday, July 12, 2022 at 9:30 am. in the County Courtroom of the Courthouse in Anahuac, Texas.
