Discuss, consider and take appropriate action on recognizing Justice of the Peace, Pct. 3 as a recipient of the 2021 Achievement Award by the National Association of Counties (NACo).

The National Association of Counties (NACo) has named Williamson County as a 2021 Achievement Award recipient for its Financial Literacy Program. The award honors innovative, effective county government programs that strengthen services for residents.

NACo recognized the Financial Literacy Program for a 2021 Achievement Award in the category of Criminal Justice and Public Safety. The Financial Literacy Program is a program designed to allow driving offenders - those who received citations for No Driver's License, Driving While License Invalid and No Insurance - the option to enroll in a financial education class in lieu of paying fines.

NACo President Gary Moore said, "Over the past year, county officials and frontline employees have demonstrated bold, inspirational leadership. This year's Achievement Award winning programs illustrate the innovative ways counties build healthy, safe and vibrant communities across America."

Nationally, NACo awards are given in 18 different categories that reflect the vast, comprehensive services counties provide.
