Rn open meeting was held concerning the following subjects.
Item 1.1 Discusss estimated Revenues and Expenditures for- the
Fiscal Year 1993/94, and Budge request reviews.
Commissioner^ Holekamp addressed the court with the total
increase of the budget being 55X knowing rollback rate is 8X.
Capital Outlay items totaled to about E270,000.00, and we
felt that some of these items could be put on time warrants.
No chairs or Desks are to be put on time warrants. We have
tracked what has been spent. Salaries and/or Capital Outlay
are the only place you can c~.tt back on. This is what we are
trying to get at today. On July Sv, 1993 we should receive
the certified appraisal review from KCRD. We hope to have
the complete budget filed with the County Cler^k's Office by
R~_igust. In Rugust we will decide the tax rate. We would like
to give some pay increases but we don't know haw much this
will be. We would like to plug in 1X to 3X incr^ease to see
~, what we can work with.
R discussion was held regarding Road and Bridge Department's
budget line item per line item and they are to come back to
the Court with the results of the discussion.

COMMISSIONERS' COURT RECONVENED RT 5:00 F.M. WITH R
Fr^esentation by Wackenhut regarding pr^ivatization of jails.
F'aul E. Bailey and Ronald D. Champion made the pr^esentation
to the Co~.trt. Mr^. Bailey stated that they were here to
answer^ any questions the Court may have for them. Mr. Bailey
and Mr. Champion gave a resume of there qualifications and
experience they have in pr^ivatization of jails. They have
five facilities in Texas, San Antonio, Kyle, Lockhart, Fort
Worth, and Richport. The County and Wackenhut generally
become partners wanting to reach the same goal which is space
for prisoners. The financing is done by Wackenhut and they
build as to what the County needs ar^e. The County would find
a location and they would build on that location. The
Facilities Corporation contr^act with Wackenhut for lease
purchase plan. They wo~.ild use revenue bonds, not tax
obligation bonds. We look at this line by line and we all
become intimately involved. Kerr County would have the
option to buy out contract at anytime.
