(Fred M.

Mr-. G'er-r-y then made his presentation of the above agenda item. Judge Denson stated to Mr. F'er-r•y that the co~.rrt does not have legal author-ity to implement plan that Mr-. Per-r•y is suggesting. Discussion Only. March 3, 1998 Honorable Judge Robert Denson: I would like to request ao oppordarity for myself and other members of the Former Sheriff s Department Employees Associslion to presets a proposal to Commissioners Court. Basically, we wt~ propose that Commissioners Court modify eristiog county enrployec persoffiel manuals to include a employee grievance procedure. We would like to propose that members from our group as well as other interests make up a panel to hear complamks from employees and department heads. If we iderdii'y a problem with a department like that which is cmr~ntly m progress in the SherilP s Deparime~ where a department bead is unable to retain employees, we would make speciSc recommendations to Commissioners Court to remedy ffie situation. Ora only purpose is to balance the scale for county employees and department heads so that employees are happier and more productive while giving departme~ heads refief from dealing with employee problems on a daily basis. Ifyou feel we need to contact the County Attorney or arty speci&c Commissioner prior to making era presentation, please advise. We hope to make this effort worthwMle for all citizens of Rerr County. Sincerely yours, ~ ~~ FYed M Perry II 952 Darden Street "~' Rettv~e, 'TX '78028 830257-5117 ~~~ P~ ~' ~o ~~,~~~b
