COMMISSIONERS' COURT CONVENED IN SPECIAL SESSION on January
11, 1990, at 1:30 P. M., with the fullowing officers present:
R. Gordon Morgan, Commissioner, Precinct #1
Glenn K. Holekamp, Commissioner, Precinct #3
H. A. Baldwin, Commissioner, Precinct #4
Chairman Pro Tem Holekamp chaired the meeting. Grady Fort,
Center Point School Board Trustee, addressed the Court in
reference to a full time Constable. Mr. Fort said we all
fight and work hard to save tax money, but for himself and
several people he has talked to, a much greater need is law
enforcement. We need a full time Constable. Mr. Fort said
he is fighting for the position not the man. The tax payers
elect the man. Since Sheriff Kaiser came in she has done a
wonderful job and there has been a 110% improvement with
deputies patrolling and more visible, but they are not there
all the time. The Deputies do not live in Center Point and
we need a constable who lives here and knows the trouble
makers.
Next to address the Court was Mr. Kevin McDonald, Preacher of
First Baptist Church in Center Point, Texas. Reverend
McDonald said Sheriff Kaiier has done a great deal for Center
Point with the deputies visible and there more often. He
wants Center Point to be a better place to live and be, not
just Center Point but the County. He stated we need a full
time constable.
Harry Holt staid he lives on the edge of Center Point and we
need the constable made full time for better law enforcement.
Many crimes: are not reported because it is hard to get
anything done. Recently the lights at the school and the
windows at the laundrymat were broken and the First Baptist
Church was Y~roken into. A microwave oven was taken and other
items, such as a VCR and a TV would have been taken, except
they were nut there at the time.
