DENSON, County Judge H. A. "BUSTER" BALDWIN, Commissioner Pct. 1 T. H. "HUTCH" LACKEY, Commissioner Pct. 2 JONATHAN LETZ, Commissioner Pct. 3 ftled~DayofAD.19 1°f1ME ~:~0~"1 BILLIE G. EEKER Gerk County Court, Kerr County, Texas 9Y• Q~~DepWy /"~ 1 On Thursday, August 20, 1998, at 11:00 a.m., a special 2 session of Commissioners' Court was held in the 3 Commissioners' Courtroom, Kerr County Courthouse, Kerrville, 4 Texas, and the following proceedings were had in open court: 5 P R O C E E D I N G S 6 JUDGE DENSON: Okay. It's 11 o'clock on the 20th 7 of August, '98. We have a special Commissioners' Court 8 agenda to take up this morning. First matter up is consider 9 and discuss extending the burn ban. I don't know how you 10 gentlemen feel. And, incidentally, Commissioner Oehler is 11 not going to be here because of business commitments. But I 12 did talk to him this morning, and he's certainly in favor of 13 relaxing or -- 19 COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Lifting. 15 JUDGE DENSON: -- lifting, for lack of a better 16 word, the burn ban. And we, of course, have a meeting -- 17 regular Commissioners' Court meeting Monday where we'll take 18 this thing up again, bring all that up. 19 COMMISSIONER LACKEY: I'd be in favor of lifting it 20 till Monday, and then look at it it again. I found three 21 places in the county that's only had six-tenths in my 22 precinct. 23 JUDGE DENSON? Really? We've had some good rains 29 -- not a whole lot of rain, but some good rains over the last 25 couple -- last 10 days out there, and I know I've fielded 2 .^ 1 numerous calls here and at home about people certainly 2 wanting to burn, because they've been stacking things up for 3 months. 9 COMMISSIONER LETZ: I make a motion to lift the 5 burn ban effective immediately. 6 COMMISSIONER LACKEY: Second. 7 JUDGE DENSON: I've got a second by Commissioner 8 Lackey. 9 COMMISSIONER LETZ: We'll address it Monday. We'll 10 lift it now -- 11 JUDGE DENSON: It will be lifted, period, and we 12 can implement it at that time if we so choose. However, the 13 forecast is maybe some rain tomorrow, and then -- 19 COMMISSIONER LETZ: Through the weekend. 15 JUDGE DENSON: Saturday the coastal -- tropical 16 stuff comes in. Okay. All in favor? 17 (The motion was carried by unanimous vote.) 18 JUDGE DENSON: Okay. Next is consider and discuss 19 setting public notice for adoption of proposed "No Dumping" 20 and speed limit signs. That's Commissioner Baldwin. 21 COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Yes, six. I had it put on 22 there, but I think Franklin -- he's looking at me real 23 strange. 29 JUDGE DENSON: Yeah, I have a little backup on 25 mine. I may be the only one. 3 1 2 31 9' 5' 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 19 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 29 25 COMMISSIONER LETZ: I have some. COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Well, you are the only one. COMMISSIONER LETZ: I've got backup. COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Wait a minute. The reason I wanted -- I put it on there is that we had set the speed limit on Sheppard Rees Road recently from -- there never was a speed limit out there, and we suddenly set it for 35, and a lot -- let me say it again, a lot of taxpayers out there got real excited about that, and we -- so I went out and drove it and asked Franklin to drive it. And I want to hit a happy medium somewhere; 35 is too slow, so I want to propose that we go to 95. Which would cause us to have a public hearing, of course, and that's what I want to do today is set the date for the public hearing. JUDGE DENSON: Being October 6th, '98, at 10 a.m.? COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: I suspect so -- yes, sir. COMMISSIONER LACKEY: Where did you get the River Road from? COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: I didn't get it, sir. I'm dealing with Sheppard Rees only. COMMISSIONER LACKEY: I haven't had a complaint on River Road, and I don't think we should do anything with it, because who's going to enforce it? COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: I don't know. JUDGE DENSON: Wait a minute. River Road isn't on ' 4 /'~ i^ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11I 12 13 19 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 29 25 there. COMMISSIONER LETZ: Center Point River Road. COMMISSIONER LACKEY: Center Point City Limits to Highway 173. JUDGE DENSON: Oh, Center Point River Road. I see. MR. JOHNSTON: I think someone called in on that. We thought if we had a public hearing, we might as well do several of them, rather -- but if you want to put it off, that's fine. JUDGE DENSON: What do you say? COMMISSIONER LACKEY: I don't feel like it would be enforced or anything. I'm not in favor of it. COMMISSIONER LETZ: Is there any speed limit on River Road now? COMMISSIONER LACKEY: No. COMMISSIONER LETZ: I kind of agree with Butch. There's lots of roads that have no speed limit signs anywhere; just more things for us to have to maintain and get stolen. COMMISSIONER LACKEY: If we do anything, you need it on Elm Pass and Stoneleigh rather than this one here. So I just -- JUDGE DENSON: Well, delete that? MR. JOHNSTON: I think a little background on it. On Sheppard Rees, I think DPS requested that 35 mile-an-hour i"~ ' 5 i^'~ i 1 limit. That's why we lowered it there. Over the last five 2 years, somewhere on that road there have been 30 accidents. 3 Nearly all of them were due to speed. Back then, they were 4 -- the usual -- the default speed they put on everything was 5 55. Apparently people were speeding past that, causing 6 accidents. 7 JUDGE DENSON: Well, as Commissioner Baldwin says, 8 95 would be a happy medium. 9 MR. JOHNSTON: 45 would hold that down, yeah. 10 JUDGE DENSON: Okay. On this proposal that's back 11 up on this agenda item, first we have the "No Dumping" at 12 Sunset Cemetery. That's off Highway 27 in Ingram. Is that 13 the physical location? Is that -- 14 COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Yes. I can answer that. 15 MR. JOHNSTON: Oh, yeah, that is. 16 JUDGE DENSON: And then speed limit, we have 95 17 mile-an-hour speed limit for Sheppard Rees. The Center Paint 18 River Road, we're deleting that based on the request from the 19 Commissioner whose precinct that's in. And then that other 20 language, that's lust descriptive of the location? Is that 21 Center Point City Limits to Highway 173? 22 COMMISSIONER LACKEY: That's lust a description. 23 JUDGE DENSON: And we delete that too. And this 29 notice that we have -- again, I make a reference to the 25 document attached to the agenda. It's Notice of Public 6 ~'` .''~ 1 Hearing Concerning Regulatory Signs in Various Locations in 2 Kerr County, and it's to set public hearing on October 6th, 3 1998, at 10 a.m., at the Commissioners' Courtroom, Kerr 9 County, Texas. So, I need a motion. 5 COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: So move. 6 COMMISSIONER LETZ: One question, since Glenn's 7 here. There's a problem in my precinct. We do have a 8 continued problem with King's Surplus or King's Salvage. Do 9 you think a no parking sign would do any -- be of any 10 assistance at all? 11 MR. HOLEKAMP: It has to go through the proper -- 12 COMMISSIONNER LETZ: We could add that. 13 MR. HOLEKAMP: Absolutely no encroachments or no 14 parking, no whatever -- dumping, within "X" number of feet in 15 the right-of-way. 16 COMMISSIONER LETZ: I think we can put a sign in 17 the right-of-way, no pa rking. 18 MR. HOLEKAMP: That is correct, on the right-of-way 19 line. 20 COMMISSIONER LETZ: Right. It will be a no parking 21 sign at Hermann Sons Ro ad and Highway 27. 22 MR. JOHNSTON: They park their stuff on it. 23 COMMISSIONER LETZ: They park in the road. 24 MR. HOLEKAMP: It's in the road, and used to -- 25 ~ every once in a while, the Road and Bridge, when they were 7 /'` 1 working in the area, they'd take a loader and push it back 2 onto their property. 3 COMMISSIONER LETZ: I talked to Road and Bridge -- 9 I'm going to talk with them. They're building, at the 5 County's expense, a fence along there to keep their stuff -- 6 in other words, a chain link or any kind of a fence to keep 7 them from -- they're going into our right-of-way continually. 8 They park in the middle of the road and block it. That way 9 the Sheriff can at least give a ticket for someone parking in 10 the road there. 11 MR. HOLEKAMP: That's correct. 12 MR. JOHNSTON: They consider a salvage yard like a 13 junkyard, don't they? They have to put up their own fence. 19 COMMISSIONER LETZ: Grandfathered. 15 MR. HOLEKAMP: It's grandfathered, prior to '87. 16 JUDGE DENSON: We'll add to this notice, No Parking 17 Sign for Highway 27 at Hermann Sons Road. 18 COMMISSIONER LETZ: Hermann Sons Road at Highway 19 27. 20 MR. HOLEKAMP: Hermann Sans Road at Highway 27. 21 COMMISSIONER LETZ: The no parking sign will be on 22 Hermann Sons Road, not on Highway 27. 23 JUDGE DENSON: Okay. 24 COMMISSIONER LETZ: That -- 25 JUDGE DENSON: That's at Highway 27 at Hermann Sons 8 r^ ,~'~ 11 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 29 25 Road, so it's Hermann Sons Road at Highway 27? COMMISSIONER LETZ: Right. JUDGE DENSON: Okay. And, let's see. Commissioner Baldwin, you made a motion. Does it include that no parking sign? COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Yes, sir. JUDGE DENSON: All right, sir. COMMISSIONER LETZ: Second. JUDGE DENSON: Okay. Further discussion or comments on this? All in favor? (The motion was carried by unanimous vote.) JUDGE DENSON: Okay. I think that takes care of the open meeting matters that we have this morning. We do have an Executive Session to discuss Maintenance Department personnel. We'll go into Executive Session and -- Mary Elizabeth? MS. DAMS: Yes, sir? JUDGE DENSON: Mary Elizabeth, you may want to make a note of this, that I'm asking any candidate that wants to to come into Executive Session on this matter -- MS. DAMS: Yes, sir. JUDGE DENSON: -- because what will be discussed will impact next year. As I have in the past, and I will continue to do. However, there's only one candidate here. Since the Mountain Sun chose to write an article that I think /~ ~ 9 1 was sort of directed at stirring up -- at trying to create 2 news, they may want to do the same thing again. There's only 3 one candidate here. He may not want to appear -- come into 4 this Executive Session now because of what's happened in the 5 past, and I think it works sort of a detriment to Kerr County 6 because we'll have to apprise him of what went on, you know, 7 outside of Executive Session. Hut, Mr. Williams, you're 8 invited to come in, should you choose to. 9 MR. WILLIAMS: Thank you, Judge. 10 JUDGE DENSON: In the great United States of 11 America, everybody has choices to make. 12 COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Or we could send an 13 invitation to the rest of them. 19 JUDGE DENSON: Well, they're invited. And, 15 certainly, the Mountain Sun invited them. But that's the way 16 I've always felt. Now, there's certain matters that are to 17 be discussed in Executive Session that are for now, this 18 time, and I wouldn't invite -- nor would I think any 19 candidates would come in. 20 MS. DAM S: Sir, if you read the article, which I 21 think was impartial and had -- you know, was not biased at 22 all, the Attorney General did say that nothing illegal went 23 on. 29 JUDGE DENSON: Oh, well, I knew there was -- I 25 didn't need y'all to tell me that. 10 ,rte 1 MS. DAM S: I realize that, but I think it was a 2 fair story, and I'm not going after anybody. 3 JUDGE DENSON: Okay. 9 MS. DAM S: Thank you, sir. 5 JUDGE DENSON: Okay, we're closed. We're going 6 into Executive Session. Thank you, Tammy. 7 MS. MARQUARDT: Yes, sir. 8 (The open session was closed at 11:13 a.m., and an Executive Session was held, the transcript of which 9 is contained in a separate document.) 10 - - - - - - - - - - 11 JUDGE DENSON: Okay. It's 11:28, August 20th, '98, 12 and we're back in open session. And we'll take up some 13 matters relative to Maintenance Department personnel. Mr. i 14 Holekamp? 15 MR. HOLEKAMP: Yes. The last two weeks -- two 16 weeks and a couple of days -- I've been working real hard 17 with trying to evaluate the positions that I curzently have, 18 and the people in those places and that sort of thing. And 19 I've come to -- to a plan that I feel like is very workable. 20 I think it's overdue. And it involves shuffling of one 21 employee into a different slot, and that would be Alex 22 Rodriguez. I want to move him from nighttime custodian. 23 He's kind of Mr. Everything after 12 o'clock during the day, 24 is what it amounts to. I want to move him to Courthouse 25 Senior Maintenance Person and Custodian. He's going to be 11 T r^ 1 "Mr. Courthouse," no different than Phil Verhelst at the 2 jail, and Mike Smart at the Ag Barn. He's going to be the 3 guy to go to in the courthouse. 4 Brian Behrens, is who currently in Maintenance, he is is 5 going to be my floater, and that is not a negative term. He 6 is going to be the guy that goes to the jail when extra help 7 is needed, goes to the Ag Barn when extra help is needed 8 there, and be here to do the extras that need to be done 9 here. He's going to learn all of the jobs. He's going to be 10 able to do -- his experience has been at the jail. And he's 11 -- he helps Phil very much, because there's a lot of jobs 12 that it takes two people to move some stuff around before 13 they can grease fittings and that sort of stuff. 14 So, I -- my only other situation is -- is then I would 15 like to hire a part-time person for nighttime maintenance, a 16 nighttime custodian only, three hours a night. I have 17 someone that previously did it here in this courthouse; I've 18 not talked to the gentleman, but I understand that there's a 19 possibility he would be interested in it. And that would be 20 part-time, no benefits. It would be at the hourly rate of a 21 7-1 position, whatever that is, per hour at the 7-1, which is 22 Custodian. 23 COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Let me ask you a question, 24 Glenn. 25 MR. HOLEKAMP: Yes, sir? 12 ~. 1 COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: About Alex. What is his 2 classification? 3 MR. HOLEKAMP: He -- I'm embarrassed to say, he is 9 a 7 -- 5 COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: In length of employment. 6 MR. HOLEKAMP: -- 3. I think it's a little over 7 three years; I don't have that date here in front of me. I'm 8 embarrassed to say he's a 7-3, at his talents. 9 COMMISSIONER LETZ: And what will he go to? 10 MR. HOLEKAMP: I'd like him to be a 15-1. I'm that 11 confident in his abilities. Because he should have equal 12 footing with Mike and Phil. And -- but the responsibility 13 goes with it. I know that's kind of a hard jump -- I've 14 talked to one of the employees about it. I have not talked 15 to Maria about it, but I have talked to Brian about it and, 16 you know, that's kind of -- that's my plan, and he agrees. 17 It's a common-sense plan. So if we can't do the 15-1 today 18 or tomorrow or whatever, I would like for us to do something 19 until October 1, and at that time place him in the position 20 that he is going to be doing. 21 COMMISSIONER LETZ: How about -- to me, the money 22 should be in the budget because of Johnny's position. 23 MR. HOLEKAMP: Absolutely, it is. In fact, there's 29 going to be more than that if I don't -- 25 COMMISSIONER LETZ: Because you're eliminating the 13 ~^ ,~" 1 2 3 9 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 131 19 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 29 25 supervisor. MR. HOLEKAMP: We're eliminating $21,000 -- COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: You're eliminating the $21,000. And Alex's increase is a $7,000 increase. MR. HOLEKAMP: And the part-time will be about $8,000, $9,000 a year. COMMISSIONER LETZ: This is just an idea, to make an incremental step, and then October 1 go to the 15-1. Mainly just because it's -- if he had a lot of responsibilities -- you're talking the grounds responsibility as well, or just the building responsibility? MR. HOLEKAMP: Building. COMMISSIONER LETZ: Not the grounds? MR. HOLEKAMP: No. I'm going to handle the grounds. I'm going to handle the grounds and -- and the floater. The floater's going to be in my pocket, so I don't get into that territorial, "I need, I need, I need." JUDGE DENSON: I've seen you cut grass before. I don't like the way you do it. COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: It's an awful sight, isn't it? JUDGE DENSON: I mean, it goes criss-cross and all, rather than straight. COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: He just watches too much baseball. I'd like to say something nice about old Alex. I I 14 i'^ 1 don't know -- in that entire department, I don't know of 2 anybody that's more committed or dedicated. The guy is just 3 -- and one of the good things about him is the way that -- 9 his relationship with the employees in their offices. I 5 mean, if anything's going to happen negative, it's that these 6 offices -- these people are going to be angry that he's not 7 going to be dealing with them hands-on, cleaning their 8 offices on a day-to-day basis. The guy -- he's one of those 9 guys that can walk by and if he sees a light bulb out, he 10 stops and fixes it, instead of reacting like some of these 11 other guys do. And he's capable. Not only fixing that; he's 12 capable of doing -- he knows electricity, he knows some 13 plumbing. I mean, the guy's really a talented, talented guy. 19 I'm big-time in support of Mr. Holekamp's proposal. 15 JUDGE DENSON: Glenn, may I ask this? Okay, you've 16 made this proposal where we're -- we have the one slot, 17 Tisdale, which is not being filled. We're all, I think, in 18 tune about the money and all. But is it your long-term plan 19 -- specifically, October the 1st, next year's budget -- to 20 maintain the staff that you're proposing? 21 MR. HOLEKAMP: Yes, sir. 22 JUDGE DENSON: Not increase it? 23 MR. HOLEKAMP: That's absolutely right. 29 JUDGE DENSON: So what we're doing today isn't 25 going to impact, in a negative sense, next year's budget? 15 /"` 1 MR. HOLEKAMP: No, sir. The only variable -- and I 2 believe we pretty much addressed it -- that could be a factor 3 is that we are going to do a real -- try to organize 4 ourselves enough to where, when we have an electrical 5 problem, we have an electrician. And what we do is we 6 accumulate four or five things at a time, whether they be 7 ballasts or whatever. We have all of the -- the parts here. 8 The electrician comes in and he's out. We send a maintenance 9 man with him, get him done and get him out of here. In an 10 hour's time they can do five or six little projects. See, 11 what has happened -- and I've talked to some of these 12 professionals. When I talk "professional," I'm talking about 13 the air-conditioning guys, plumbers, and the electricians. 19 One of the the problems we have is they come in and say, "Oh 15 my goodness, who did this?" There's nothing wrong with 16 having a handyman that can do things, but if it's not done 17 properly, I think the County puts themselves at -- kind of at 18 risk. So what I want to do, if it is a bonafide plumbing 19 problem or electrical problem, or -- or air-conditioning, I 20 want to have a professional in here. I'm going to need some 21 funds added to my minor repairs for that, not that much. It 22 will not impact the bottom line of that budget, in my 23 opinion. 24 JUDGE DENSON: Okay. 25 MR. HOLEKAMP: I've talked to the electricians and 16 /~ r 1 they are tickled to death with the concept. Because they 2 don't have to run all over town looking for each part. We're 3 going to try to have that all lined up prior to them doing 4 the work. 5 JUDGE DENSON: Sounds good to me. I don't know -- 6 Jonathan may have a good point. I think I c an embrace that. 7 MR. HOLEKAMP: I have no problem. Mx. Baldwin 8 brought that to my attention this morning. And -- and I know 9 how -- 10 JUDGE DENSON: It's just six weeks away, though. 11 COMMISSIONER LETZ: I know. But I think during 12 this period, you can find out -- I mean, you know, see if 13 it's all working out smoothly. 19 MR. HOLEKAMP: Okay. Can I -- do we make him a 15 13 -- 16 COMMISSIONER LETZ: 13-1 now, that 's fine. 17 MR. HOLEKAMP: You know, and then if -- 18 COMMISSIONER LETZ: If it works ou t, then -- 19 MR. HOLEKAMP: If it works out in the next five 20 weeks or whatever, we can do it. 21 COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: That's beca use of job 22 description change. 23 MR. HOLEKAMP: That is correct. 29 COMMISSIONER LETZ: Right. Yeah, he's becoming the 25 same as Phil and Mike. 17 1 JUDGE DENSON: Right. Sounds good. 2 COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: I told you. 3 MR. HOLEKAMP: You're right. And I have no problem 9 with that. I want -- because it was at y'all's discretion 5 what you wished to do. All right. Do you want to do that 6 effective as soon as -- 7 JUDGE DENSON: I think that's Mary Elizabeth 8 outside the door. 9 (Off-the-reco rd discussion.) 10 JUDGE DENSON: Okay. Sounds super. 11 MR. HOLEKAMP: Okay. 12 COMMISSIONER LETZ: I make a motion we accept the 13 recommendation of the Maintenance Department Supervisor and 14 move Alex Rodriguez -- or create a basic position -- 15 MR. HOLEKAMP: There is a Maintenance position that 16 we have a slot -- well, we don't have a slot. 17 COMMISSIONER LETZ: -- for building maintenance on 18 -- what, a Coordinator for the courthouse? 19 MR. HOLEKAMP: Yes. 4 20 ~ COMMISSIONER LACKEY: Second. 21 JUDGE DENSON: I've got a second by Commissioner 22 Lackey. 23 1 MR. HOLEKAMP: At 13-1. n 29 ~ COMMISSIONER LETZ: At a 13-1 initially. a 25 ' MR. HOLEKAMP: And with possible review on October i 18 i^ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12' 13 19 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 29 25 the 1st. COMMISSIONER LET'L: That was my motion. COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: What about -- we may want to include something -- what about the part-time? MR. HOLEKAMP: Yes, I need authorization to hire the part-time custodian for less than 19 hours a week. COMMISSIONER LETZ: I think that's two separate -- let's do a separate motion. JUDGE DENSON: We've got a motion -- the first motion is to appoint Alex Rodriguez as the Courthouse Maintenance Coordinator. MR. HOLEKAMP: Maintenance Coordinator, yeah. JUDGE DENSON: At a 13-1. MR. HOLEKAMP: That's right. JUDGE DENSON: We have that motion. We have a second from Commissioner Lackey. All in favor? (The motion was carried by unanimous vote.) JUDGE DENSON: Okay. And then we have -- we don't have the next motion, but we need one. COMMISSIONER LETZ: I make a motion -- how much part-time? MR. HOLEKAMP: Well, we have enough money in the budget right now, but in the new budget we'll have to have approximately 58,000. COMMISSIONER LETZ: Under the current budget, do we /" ' 19 1 A need to move funds into that? 2 MR. HOLEKAMP: No, there's already money there. 3 ~ COMMISSIONER LETZ: We don't need a motion for that 4 one, then. 5 ~ MR. HOLEKAMP: That is correct. 6 ~ JUDGE DENSON: You said 19 hours, though? 7 MR. HOLEKAMP: Max. 8 JUDGE DENSON: But what hourly rate? 9 MR. HOLEKAMP: 7-1 -- what is the hourly rate of a 10 7-1? 11 COMMISSIONER LETZ: As long as we have the 12 part-time money in that line item right now, we don't have to 13 -- it's already there. 14 JUDGE DENSON: Correct. 15 MR. HOLEKAMP: It's -- I don't know if I have -- 16 COMMISSIONER LETZ: If you need more, we can do it 17 as a budget amendment f rom salaries. 18 MR. HOLEKAMP: There's money in part-time -- oh, 19 here, just a second. I got it. It will be a rate of $5.93 20 an hour. 21 JUDGE DENSON: And you already have the funds for 22 that? 23 MR. HOLEKAMP: Yes, sir. 24 JUDGE DENSON: Okay. That will take care of you 25 ~ the rest of the year? 20 ,r- i-- 1 MR. HOLEKAMP: Yes, sir. 2 JUDGE DENSON: Get after it. Thank you, sir. 3 Sounds like a good -- 9 COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Glenn, when does Alex become 5 the Courthouse Maintena nce Coordinator? 6 JUDGE DENSON: Effective immediately? Or you can't 7 move him into that that position till you get a part-time -- 8 MR. HOLEKAMP: I really need talk to him first. It 9 would be nice. He's no t aware of all of this at this point. 10 I -- and I really wasn' t prepared to offer him anything until 11 I got approval from the Court. 12 COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: We can force him into it. 13 MR. HOLEKAMP: I would like to -- see, because of 14 the cutoff and everythi ng, it's awfully difficult to do. If 15 not the 15th, then how about the 1st? 16 JUDGE DENSON: Well, you can implement it as you 17 can. 18 MR. HOLEKAMP: That would be -- that's fine with 19 me. 20 JUDGE DENSON: You can implement it; you have the 21 authority to implement it. 22 MR. HOLEKAMP: Do I? Thank you, appreciate it. 23 Let me see how all this works out. 24 COMMISSIONER LETZ: Glenn, on that -- you might 25 lust check the yob desc riptions at the 7ai1 and the Ag Barn 21 i" ~~ 1 just to make sure that all three of those have the same title 2 so it's not confusing in our budget. 3 MR. HOLEKAMP: That Coordinator thing probably is 9 not going to be it. 5 COMMISSIONER LETZ: Whatever title we -- just for 6 all three of those facilities, we can modify those personnel. 7 MR. HOLEKAMP: All of them are going to need to be 8 changed, anyway. I'm planning on that. I don't like that 9 Assistant thing. That is -- doesn't work.
