1 - Absent and the following proceeding
a~T~~, i
An Open meeting was held concerning the Hill Country District
Junior Livestock Show Inc. and the County Regarding the kill
Country Youth Exhibition Center-. Commissioner Holekamp,
asking what the Court wants to do as far as f+ands for the Ag
Barn. The Ag people want someone else to do the bookings for
the facility and would like to turn this over to the County.
Right now ther^e is an individual that is being paid f55@, 00 a
month to do the reservations for the facility. Would the
County like to have this individual continue to do the
bookings? I per^sonally think the jab will pay for itself.
This individual would only get paid by the month with no
benefits. Does the County want to sign same agreement to fund
facility? I think there should be a change for on-site
super-vicar. The supervisor should not be handling SWRP or
Community Ser^vice Workers. The arrangement with the Sheriff
and the District Judges is that Bill Ray has to supervisor-
Community Ser^vice Workers. Tommy Tomlinson stated he thought
we needed a revenue report of the Ag Barn. Long Range plan
are to expand convention ar^ea at a later^ date. We need to
work on arena area and parking area. The tables and chairs
belong to the Ag people, We will need some type of use or
lease agreement with 4-H. We will need to come up with some
ideas about concessions and have bookings to be done by
Chamber of Commerce, payment to be received by the Chamber
for the bookings. We need to ask about cost of oper^ational
expenses.
COMMISSIONERS' COURT RECESSED RT 5:23 P. M.
a~5 9S2 COMMISSIONERS' CDURT RECONVENED AT 5:15 P. M.
RND THE FOLLOWING PROCEEDINGS WERE HRD: A workshop was held
between the Juvenile Board and the Commissioners' Court about
the Juvenile Detention Facility.
A proposal was submitted to the Co~ar^t fr^om Glenn T. Heckmann,
of Recor^ for a pr^ivatization facility. The Judge stated the
Court would like a financial statement of the the company.
They would also like to know what would happen if the company
wer^e to go belly up who wouold have the right to the
facility? Mr^. Heckmann indicated that the lending company
wo+_~ld give the option to the Co+_mty to buy the facility.
Kerr County would not lose control of people coming into the
facility. Judge Ables stated that he thought Recor- would be
willing to wor^k with the County. We are at r^isk when we send
o+ar^ people out of County because of these children
associating with the wrong kind of people. We will not make
a final decision until all questions have been answered.

The beauty of it all is that we can decide at a later date if
we don't want to do this. We have two options as Lease
purchase or a Fer Diem, The only expenditure is per• diem, if
you don't have any one in the facility you don't pay
anything. State funds are sent through the Juvenile Roard to
Recur Inc. What Recur is asking of the County is for• them to
be the host of the facility. Mr. Heckmann was asked about
location of the Detention Facility and he stated that they
try to stay away from Schools, and basically on the out
skirts of town. The Court would like to have a proposal to
look over and have the County Attorney to look over the
contract, The location needed would be a tract of
approximately 5 to 10 acres of land, construction time would
be appr^oximately E to & months.
COMMISSIONERS' COURT RECESSED AT 5:55 F.M.
