Court having duly opened the following proceedings were had:
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

2 The Judge reported that the tax rate presented by the
Appraisal Office and the Tax Office differed by 5 cents.
Court recessed at 10:20 to allow time to call Juanita Maples,
with the Appraisal Office and Paula Rector, Tax
Assessor-Collector, to see if they would be available to meet
with the Court.
Commissioners' Court reconvened at 10:45 a.m. Juanita Maples
and Paula Rector are each going to do a new spreadsheet and
compare them to see where the difference is. They should be
able to meet with the Court Wednesday, August 30, 1989 at
9:00 a.m. Tom Modisett, Kerr County Auditor, said he would
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
what the numbers were, how much was in reserve and where we
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.
