A workshop was held on jail expansion. The Judge asked if
anyone wanted to build on the square. Commissioner Morgan
replied that one of the options was to enclose the lower part
of the annex and he would like further information on the
possibility. The Texas Historical Commission might possibly
approve the option. Mike Walker will go thru and summarize
all the options presented so far, do a cost analysis on each
project and present it to the Court on one sheet of paper

also be available at that time.
The Court discussed setting a Public Hearing date for the
proposed budget and when the budget would be available for
the Commissioner's to review. The Judge said he was getting
conflicting figures from three different sets of books.
Commissioner Morgan said he was not confortable not knowing

stood. Not knowing these factors it would be hard to make a
decision on what to do. The Auditor reported that all debt
services were paid. The Judge said we have enough in
Certificates of Obligation to pay debt services for the next
° year without raising taxes.
