County Judge Edwards presented each Commissioner with a copy
of the proposed 1989-1990 budget for Kerr County, and made a
brief statement that he did not wholly support the proposed
budget, but it was prepared as to comments of Commissioners
not to raise taxes. He said it was time to bite the bullet
and put all personal bias's aside. The cost of living was
going up, as well as insurance and the employees of Kerr
County need
and deserve a raise. In the future he would like each
Commissioner to spend at least one week in each office and
follow the elected official or department head around and
really get to know how each office functions.
He said he had to draw from surplus in several departments
and he suggested a raise in taxes of at least 8~, which is
the rollback, or next year there would be no surplus in any
office.
COMMISSIONERS' COURT CONVENED IN A BUDGET WORKSHOP MEETING at
10:30 o'clock A.M. which was recessed at 11:32 o'clock A. M.
COMMISSIONER'S COURT BUDGET WORKSHOP MEETING RECONVENED at
1:35 o'clock P.M. in the Treasurer's old office, with all
members present except Judge Edwards, and continued until
6:00 o'clock P. M.
