On Friday, July 6, 2001, at 9 a.m., a regular meeting
of the Kerr County Commissioners Court was held in the
Commissioners' Courtroom, Kerr County Courthouse, Kerrville,
Texas, and the following proceedings were had in open court:
P R O C E E D I N G S
JUDGE HENNEKE: Good morning, everyone. It's
9 o'clock in the morning on Friday, July the 6th, Year 2001.
We will convene this irregular regular session of the Kerr
County Commissioners Court. Commissioner Letz, I believe
you have the honors this morning.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: Would everyone please
stand?
(Prayer and pledge of allegiance.)
JUDGE HENNEKE: At this time, any citizen
wishing to address the Court on an item which is not listed
on the regular agenda may come forward and do so. Is there
any citizen who would like to address the Court on an item
not listed on the regular agenda?
(NO response.)
JUDGE HENNEKE: One more time, is there any
citizen who would like to address the Court on an item not
listed on the regular agenda? Seeing none, we'll move to
the Commissioners' Comments. Commissioner Letz?
COMMISSIONER LETZ: I think I only have one
comment today, and it's to offer additional prayers to a

young man in our community, Jordan Anders, who was in a
serious car accident, last week, I guess. And, he's in the
hospital, Pediatric ICU at Wilford Hall at the moment. He's
probably going to be moved to Santa Rosa. Looks like he's
going to be all right, but he does have some pretty massive
head injuries, working through that.. He s a 16-year-old.
Summer job, big rollover accident. We don't know what
happened. But, anyway, if everyone would just offer prayers
for the Anders family.
JODGE HENNEKE: Thank you. Commissioner
Griffin?
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: Nothing this morning.
JUDGE HENNEKE: Commissioner Baldwin?
COMMISSIONER BALDWInI: Yes, sir. Yes, sir, I
just wanted to bring up one thing. I wanted to encourage
our Court to think about -- I personally believe it's time
for us to start thinking along the lines of getting -- this
Court getting with the City Council. and start just talking
about and visiting about our relationship with Mooney
Aircraft. I'm definitely -- certainly not one to get into
the private sector, but the taxpayers of this county have
elected us to represent them and -- and their holdings, and
that property out there is City/County property, and -- and
some of our citizens are being affected by some things, and
I just think that we kind of need to look over our

agreements and contracts with Mooney and -- and possibly
start looking down the road and see -- I hope they pull out
and everything is fine, but just in case, I think it would
be a good idea to have a plan in place. And, I echo
Commissioner Letz' thought about the young man. We do need

said. Some other people to remember in their prayers are
the family of those two ladies that. were murdered. They
need a lot of support; moral support, prayer support.
That's a petty difficult situation.
JUDGE HENNEKE: I will remind everyone that
we'll be back on schedule for our next meeting, which will
be Monday, July 23rd. We do have a public hearing scheduled
for 4 o'clock that afternoon on thE: redistricting for the
Kerr County Commissioners' precincts. As everyone knows,
we've accepted a map from Sylvia Axredondo, which was
prepared by the William Velasquez Institute, which is
their -- that individual's preference for the Commissioner
precinct lines. I have sent that map to our consultants in
Austin to ask them to evaluate the map against the criteria
that were adopted by the Court. The map will be back into

Kerrville hopefully on Monday, and will be once again
available for public viewing. That. map, plus the map which
the Bickerstaff Heath firm produces, will be the two maps
We will schedule a vote on the maps for
process completed, if at all possible, August 1st, so that
the Justice Department preclearance can be obtained on a
timely basis. So, for -- just for everyone to keep in mind
the timetable on the redistricting, once again, the
Velasquez Institute map will be back and once again be
available for public viewing beginning next week.
Unfortunately, we discovered in the course of our
conversations over this map that there's no place in
Kerrville we can get it copied in color. And, to have it
copied in black and white wouldn't do any good for us,
because it's impossible -- very difficult to distinguish the
lines when it's in black and white. So, we're -- one of the
reasons we sent it to Austin was they have the capability of
getting it copied over there.
So, we will have at least five or six copies

office, as well as one on display here in the Commissioners
and Judge's suite, and people will be able to look at those
and ask any questions they might want to. So, everyone
please keep in mind that timetable. Also, the next day,
July 24, we'll start our budget workshops, according to the
schedule which the Court adopted at the last hearing.
Anybody have any questions on that?
COMMISSIONER LETZ: I have a question on
tweaking the first map, the Bickerstaff map. I know I've
been to Austin; I know Bill's been to Austin, and they also
are aware that I can't tell them tc change the map and Bill
can't tell them to change the map. How do we go about
making some minor adjustments to it? Is it just done at our
hearing? Or should we just talk to him and say, you like --
is it -- I've talked to Commissioner Baldwin about an area
that -- you know, a possible minor change there. I talked
to Commissioner Williams about an area between he and I. I
mean, what do you -- how do we proceed to get a map up here
that we can actually all agree on by making some changes and
moving some lines, just mainly to accommodate neighborhoods
more than anything else?
JUDGE HENNEKE: Well., I think the appropriate
way to do it is what you've just described. Two
Commissioners get together and determine that the proposed
boundary between their precincts should be tweaked, and
1

allow that tweaking to be done, and then when the map is
presented, we should -- we should consider the map that the
Commissioners are most comfortable with and then take public
comment, and then we'll have the opportunity to amend it
based on the public comment. If you're going to do that,
though, I would encourage you to do that as early as
possible next week, because we need that final map here as
well for the public to have the opportunity to view and
comment upon.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: That's my sense of it
too, Jonathan, in looking and talking to them yesterday,
that if you and I agreed on some of these tweaking changes,
and those changes don't -- don't alter the deviant to any
significant degree, then, you know, they're willing to
present that for the Court's formal approval. Which means
you and I better get on the phone this afternoon after this
meeting.
JUDGE HENNEKE: Larry?
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: I was just going to
say that if you do that, I understcod your question was --
was that the consultants may not accept that change from
you. Is that the case?
COMMISSIONER LETZ: Well, I think --
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: Would they do that?
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: No, I think they

will, in the case -- if I represent that Jonathan and I
agreed to certain changes on our boundary.
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: Good.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: If they found out
later that he and I didn't agree and I asked for the
changes, that would be a different ball game. But, if I
represent that the two of us don't have a problem on a
particular change and it doesn't affect the deviants and the
percentages on the bottom to any significant extent, then
they're willing to present that back to us and explain to
them what they did on our behalf. That was my
understanding.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: And, I mean, the changes
that I -- I know I've talked to them; I presume Bill or
others have talked to them. It mainly is to keep the
deviation where they need to be, protect the minority
population as being -- Precinct 3 being the minority
precinct, or predominantly minority precinct, then trying to
keep neighborhoods together and streets together, rather
than have the end of a road at one precinct and the whole
rest of the road in another. Those types of changes are
what I've looked at, and they're pretty minor; moving a few
streets here, a few streets there.
JUDGE HENNEKE: Okay. With that, let's move
along. Let's pay --

COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Judge, may I make
another comment?
JUDGE HENNEKE: Yes, you may, Commissioner,
certainly.
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: I wanted to remind
everyone that next week is the annual conference for the
South Texas Judges and Commissioners Association, which
we're -- by law, we're required to go to to obtain our hours
so that we be certified folks. And -- but the important
part of it I think is interesting is, this Commissioners
Court is extremely active in that, as some of us are serving
on committees and some of us are making presentations. So,
Kerr County is a large part of the -- the conference,
itself. So, I'm -- I want to thank you guys very much for
being willing to serve and -- and help me out down there.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: When do we get our
check?
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: You should have
already gotten it. It's in the mail, pal.
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: You've gotten all
you're going to get.
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Yeah.
JUDGE HENNEKE: Anything else? Okay. Let's
move forward. Let's pay some bills. Tommy? Anyone have
any questions or comments on the bills as presented?

COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: I do. Not on this
particular bill, but I have a question on bills in general.
I was thumbing through here, and I see some that we owe H2O
Specialists, and the fellow that owns that company stopped
me on the street the other day and jumped me pretty hard
about that we owe him, from this facility here, a fairly
large sum of money. And --
MR. TOMLINSON: That's --
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: -- number one, I did
not enjoy that visit very much.
MR. TOMLINSON: I think that's a contractor
problem. We didn't -- we didn't contract -- the County did
not contract with him individually.
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Okay. Well, and I
understand that. I just wanted to -- I wanted to check with
you to make sure. Now I need to -- I know where I need to
go to find that out. Thank you.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: Move we pay the
bills.
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Second.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: Second.
JUDGE HENNEKE: Moved by Commissioner
Williams, seconded by Commissioner Letz, that the Court
authorize payment of the bills as recommended and presented
by the Auditor. Any further questions or comments? If not,

(The motion carried by unanimous vote.)
JUDGE HENNEKE: All opposed, same sign.
(No response.)
DODGE HENNEKE: Motion carries. Do we have
any budget amendments?
MR. TOMLINSON: Oh, yes.
JUDGE HENNEKE: Only 12. Item Number 1
relates to Maintenance.
MR. TOMLINSON: Yes. It's that time of year.
Okay. The first one is -- is actually for three
departments. It's for Courthouse and Related Buildings,
Parks Maintenance, and the Youth Exhibition Center. First
part of it is to transfer from Group Insurance out of the
Youth Exhibition Center to Parks Maintenance of $1,938.24,
and then transfer $4,000 from Major Repairs in Courthouse
and Related Buildings to Supplies in that department. And,
the last part of it is to transfer $500 from Overtime to
Contract Fees in the Youth Exhibition Center. I do have a
late bill that I -- that I need a hand check for, and it's
to Forrest Allen for $100 for two days of contract work at
the Ag Barn.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: So moved.

Youth Exhibition Center. Any further questions or comments?
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: I have a question.
The Supplies item, what happened there that we -- what kind
of supplies are we talking about? And what -- since we
obviously underbudgeted.
MR. TOMLINSON: Glenn is here.
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: What kind of supplies
are we talking about there? Is that cleaning supplies or is
it --
MR. HOLEKAMP: Yeah, all supplies, whether it
be cleaning or -- primary cleaning or light bulbs or --
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: Whatever.
MR. HOLEKAMP: -- any type of supplies.
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: So, this is going to
be looked at during the budget process to see if we really
had enough in there?
MR. HOLEKAMP: Yes, sir.
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: That's my only
question.
JUDGE HENNEKE: Any further comments or
questions? If not, all in favor, raise your right hand.

Williams, second by Commissioner Baldwin, that the Court

approve Budget Amendment Request Number 5. Any further
questions or comments?
COMMISSIONER LETZ: I do have a comment on
that. It seems that there's a lot more of jury trials -- or
certainly Court-appointed attorneys in County Court at Law,
so that's another area we really need to look at during
budget, because I don't recall having that many in prior
years.
MR. TOMLINSON: Yeah. That court is out of
money in almost every line item.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: They've had a real active
year, which is -- you know, I don't know the reason, but we
need to take a hard look at that whole department, their
budget.
JUDGE HENNEKE: Fair enough. Any further
questions or comments? If not, all in favor, raise your
right hand.
(The motion carried by unanimous vote.)
JUDGE HENNEKE: All opposed, same sign.

Tax Collector, and it's for the period of 7/1 through
9/30/01, and it's for -- it's the item that we didn't
budget, because it was purchased during -- during the year.
So, I'm requesting a transfer of $801 from Nondepartmental
Contingency to Software Maintenance in the Tax Collector's
budget.
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: Just a quick question.
Is that -- did you say this is a premium for services to
be --
MR. TOMLINSON: It's regular quarterly
service.
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: It's a quarterly
service, okay.
JUDGE HENNEKE: Is that a motion?
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: Yes. So moved.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: Second.
JUDGE HENNEKE: Moved by Commissioner
Griffin, seconded by Commissioner Letz, that the Court
approve Budget Amendment Request Number 6 for the Tax

Sheriff to transfer $4,084.89 from Radio Equipment line item
in the -- in the Sheriff's budget; $217.40 to Employee
Medical Exams, $476.71 to Uniforms, and $4,110.73 to
Prisoner Medical in the jail budget.

JUDGE HENNEKE: Moved by Commissioner Letz,
seconded by Commissioner Griffin, that the Court approve
Budget Amendment Request Number 7. Any further questions or
comments? If not, all in favor, raise your right hand.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: Comment -- or question.
JUDGE HENNEKE: Okay.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: Again, this is another
one that -- you know, during the budget process, we need to
really take a hard look at our prisoners that we're housing
from out of town. I'm assuming that some of these reasons
for these going over in some of these budget items, that
we're housing a lot more prisoners than we have in prior
years. We need to take a hard look at those to make sure
that we're actually making money on housing the prisoners.
SHERIFF HIERHOLZER: What we're doing,
especially Prisoner Medical, whenever you have one from
another county that's got medical expenses, we do bill that

county for those medical expenses, and that does get
reimbursed, but we're obligated to pay it first.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: Right, that's what I'm
saying. If we could look at some sort of accounting on
these things, to when we're going over our budgeted amount.
But we're getting -- 'cause the reimbursement's going to go
back to the General Fund; we never really see that, so we
just kind of need to keep track of that so we can say,
"Sure, our Prisoner Medical was way up, but we were
reimbursed 'X' thousand dollars of that."
SHERIFF HIERHOLZER: Prisoner Medical has
been a question that the County Judge, the County Attorney,
and I have -- and the hospital's been working on pretty
steadily now for the last several months, and we're trying
to make some headway on cutting a lot of that out. Can't
control it at this point.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: Which raises kind of
an interesting sequential question. Are reimbursements from
these various counties coming in as they should?
MR. TOMLINSON: Well, I -- we haven't had a
problem collecting the money. I mean, that's been --
counties will pay.
SHERIFF HIERHOLZER: And, you know, a lot of
the out-of-county housing, just like this week alone,
Bandera has already sent 11 more inmates over here; they've

cut theirs down. We're pretty much doing their entire jail
right now, so -- but, yeah, we're doing well on it. It's
just reimbursements take a while on medical to get back, you
know, that initial expense that we're having to pay, 'cause
we are housing over 40 now, out-of-county. So, the initial
expense does go up drastically for us until all those
reimbursements -- and they're -- you know, what they're
actually being charged from them comes back.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: We just need to get with
Tommy and just make sure we can really look at that real
carefully during the budget.
MR. TOMLINSON: I know the Juvenile Detention
Center does the same thing.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: Right.
MR. TOMLINSON: And, there's probably, you
know, a 60- to 90-day lag time from the time, you know, we
actually get the bill and pay it and get it to the -- the
county and them cut us a check and get it back here. So,
it's --
COMMISSIONER LETZ: My concern is that this
inflates our budget beyond -- more than it should be.
SHERIFF HIERHOLZER: It does, but like --
like last year, Commissioner, you know, the County brought
in approximately $23,000 in out-of-county housing. This
year we're going to go well over half a million.

COMMISSIONER LETZ: Okay.
JUDGE HENNEKE: Any further questions or
comments on Item Number 7? If not, all in favor, raise your
right hand.
(The motion carried by unanimous vote.)
JUDGE HENNEKE: All opposed, same sign.
(NO response.)
JUDGE HENNEKE: Motion carries. Number 8 is
for the Constable, Precinct 2.
MR. TOMLINSON: Okay. This is a request from
the constable to add $500 to his -- his budget for fuel and
oil. And, I did a background on this, and in the budget
hearings last year, this request was made at that time, and
it was requested as part of the travel allowance. And,
the -- and the public officials' salaries and travel
allowance was published before this issue was brought to the
table, and so when -- after it was published, we couldn't do
anything, and so it -- the $500 request fell through the
cracks. And so what this request is, is to -- is to add the
$500 to his budget, but to add it to -- to Fuel and Oil
rather than Travel, because you can't -- we cannot add it to
the Travel line item 'cause of the increase in salary.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: What -- what are the
other -- well, go ahead.

it's in -- there's -- there's a line item in his budget, I
know, for -- I think it's insurance for his vehicle. So, he
has the equivalent of $500 in that budget. That's not in
this one.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: They have the
equivalent?
MR. TOMLINSON: Yes.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: Okay. And this was
something that -- the $500 is not just an add-on; it was in
the previous budget before --
MR. TOMLINSON: Yeah.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: -- Constable Ayala --
MR. TOMLINSON: I actually have a copy of his
original request here, and it was in his original request.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: I so move.
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: I just have a
question. Where is this fuel and oil account? Where -- it
said we'd be transferring -- is this a new account?
MR. TOMLINSON: Yes, it would be a new
account.
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: It would be
establishing a new account, 'cause I don't see that on

MR. TOMLINSON: It's not.

motion.

Budget Amendment Request Number 8. Any further questions or

COMMISSIONER LETZ: I -- I'll go along with
it, but it doesn't mean I'm going to go along with this $500

it's -- it's a -- for $768.50 to -- to Chase -- Chase

MR. TOMLINSON: Okay. This is a request
from -- from the Sheriff to transfer $2,298.10 from the
Radio Equipment line item to Vehicle Repairs and
Maintenance. Actually, I have a bill for that exact amount
from -- to Krauss Garage.
JUDGE HENNEKE: Questions or comments?
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: So moved.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: Second.
JUDGE HENNEKE: Moved by Commissioner
Williams, seconded by Commissioner Letz, that the Court
approve Budget Amendment Request Number 11 for Sheriff's
Department and authorize a hand check in the amount of
$2,298.10 payable to Krauss Garage. Any further questions
or comments?
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: Comment. This is
another one we've got to look at very carefully in the
budget process, because there's not going to be that endless
pot of money called Radio Equipment next year.

we cut the -- we cut the vehicle maintenance in that budget
over half last year, from 90-something thousand, because of
the new cars. Of course, I didn't count on the deer and a
couple other accidents and maintenance, and I really wasn't
expecting it to go up. So, it's one of those where we're
trying to adjust it correctly with the new cars, so it's
still half of what it was last year, but I'm above what I
was estimating this year.
JUDGE HENNEKE: Any further questions or
comments? If not, all in favor, raise your right hand.
(The motion carried by unanimous vote.)
JUDGE HENNEKE: All opposed, same sign.
(No response.)
JUDGE HENNEKE: Motion carries. Finally,
Number 12 for Special Projects.
MR. TOMLINSON: Yeah. We have a bill from
TexDOT for $12,000, and it's -- it's for the Hermann Sons
Bridge project. We have -- we have to have to it them
before July 26th, so I'm asking for a transfer of $12,000
from the High Water Bridge line item to Hermann Sons Road.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: Question first, if I
might. The -- a lot of the -- well, since that was taken
out by a flood, and we will have other expenditures next
year, I want to make sure that, you know, we're not -- we
have some flexibility as to where this money comes from in

the future. The construction of the new bridge, when it
comes out, which I guess this is part of that, does it fit
better under Special Projects, or is it under flood damage?
'Cause flood damage is one of those.
MR. TOMLINSON: I think it probably fits
better in Special Projects. I mean, and my way of thinking
is that the flood fund is -- is a contingency for -- for
something that we may have to -- to go to the well for
immediately. So, if you can plan for it, I think it -- in
my mind, it needs to be in this fund.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: But, the -- the flood
fund you can only access with a flood, which -- which this
was. I mean, it just seems to me that -- and didn't we -- I
believe we took some of the money out of that fund.
MR. TOMLINSON: Yes, we did.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: The temporary bridge came
out of the flood account.
MR. TOMLINSON: Almost $49,000.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: Okay. So, you think that
the permanent replacement, which this is part of that --
MR. TOMLINSON: That's right.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: -- should come out of the
Special Projects?
MR. TOMLINSON: I think so.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: So moved.

COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: I have a question on
the other side of the equation. We've earmarked $200,000
for the High Water Bridge, no matter when it's built. Is
that a certain amount that we need, or an estimated amount
we need, or are we diminishing our reserves for that, which
have to be refunded in the future?
MR. TOMLINSON: Well, it can go back -- it
will revert to surplus at the end of this year, what the
remaining part of it is.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: Okay.
MR. TOMLINSON: We would -- we -- if we want
to budget $200,000 for next year, we just budget $200,000.
I did talk to the engineers about -- about this line item,
because I wanted to know before the end of this year whether
we're going to spend the $200,000, and they said definitely
not. So --
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: By the way, TexDOT has
bought off on the plan, and the real public hearing on that
has been scheduled for later this month -- or August. Yeah,
August.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: Would that suggested
timeline remain firm or get pushed back?
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: Well --

firm.

motion.

motion.

Commissioner Baldwin?
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: I couldn't have said
it better myself, Judge. Next week I will be making a
presentation to the committee down there, asking them to
vote for Kerrville to bring the South Texas Association's
annual conference to Kerrville in 2003, and if you find a

make 10 copies and take it over to the district bureau this

I'll be making that presentation in Beaumont Wednesday, and
what that consists of is we fill up a -- the Association
fills up a lot of hotel rooms in Kerrville, and -- and this
court -- and this courthouse would be very, very active.
Thea has basically done two of these in previous years, and
it's a lot of fun and it's a -- it's good for our community.
And I -- and being the president and appointing the
committees, I think I have it stacked this time, so I'm
pretty sure we're coming to Kerrville in 2003. So, this
letter is to the chairman of that committee, just letting
her know that -- or letting the committee know that this
Commissioners Court supports -- supports that -- that
request. And, if you're going to go through that letter,
the second paragraph drastically needs some work done.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: I just had that

recently had a visit with the Kerr County Tax Assessor/
Collector, and because of a previous conversation -- and in
your packet is a copy of the minutes of -- of the previous
conversation about storage space for her in the basement
area. And, she was not concerned, but was just wondering,
you know, how -- how far and how fast are we willing to move
along? And so, number one, I put it on the agenda so
that -- that the honorable Paula Rector could come in and
just tell us what -- what she expects. But, I wanted to say

to you that, personally, I think -- and I think that we
eventually will move forward with her request. Personally,
I think that it is something that we need to plan on and
good space -- I think excellent space for a storage area
down there, but it -- we need to coordinate it with all the
other offices in the courthouse. And I think it would
probably -- in my mind, probably be a budgeted item, because
of -- I'll guarantee it will be, but -- because we're
talking about building probably not just a large storage
area, but probably some individual storage areas. And, I
think Paula's going to explain -- explain that and what
her -- her needs might be. Mrs. Rector? Would you like to
come forward?
MS. RECTOR: I'm not prepared for this.
Commissioner Baldwin and I had discussed this last week, and
it came out of the discussion several court meetings ago
about the allotted space, and I had asked the Court to
consider leaving me some area downstairs to be able to move
some of my permanent records that I feel need to be kept
on-site and in a more climate-controlled environment than
where my records are currently stored, which have
deteriorated to the point where they're just -- they're not
much use to us. But, they are permanent records that have
to be kept indefinitely, such as tax rolls, voter

registration lists from general elections, that type of
thing, which do not need to be in my office, but need to be
where I can -- can get to them without having to travel out
and dig through a bunch of stuff. That would free up that
back area -- a lot of that back area for me to be able to
rearrange it and make it a more workable, usable area in the
back.
JUDGE HENNEKE: Any questions?
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: I had -- I had one
question. This deterioration that you're talking about of
your records, is that due to some kind of climate control?
Or is that due to --
MS. RECTOR: Originally -- and I think you
were here back then -- our storage used to be behind
Farmer's Grain.
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: I remember.
MS. RECTOR: There was -- you know, in the
summers it's very, very hot; in the winters it's very, very
cold. There were rats and mice and who knows what else in
there, and a lot of those old records were damaged. And
then they were moved over to that other metal barn or metal
facility on Schreiner Street, where there was not any
climate control there, and they continued to deteriorate
there, and now they're -- they've been moved out to the Law
Enforcement Center. So, those records are remaining there,

but the ones that I do have on-site, some of them go back to
the late 1800's, and they're still in excellent shape
because we've kept them on-site in a more controlled
environment. And that's what I would like to see happen
here instead of moving them.
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: And she said to me
that -- and correct me if I'm wrong here -- that the climate
control is important, and some security is important.
MS. RECTOR: Right.
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: A lock on a door, but
it could be even a -- like, a wire cage-type thing.
MS. RECTOR: Right. We had even discussed
just even a cage-type thing to -- to house those records in.
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: So, I'm going to go
back to my opening comment. I think it's a budgeted issue
-- a budget issue and a coordination issue. I don't think
that we'll just run down there and build one right now. I
think that we need to plan it and do it --
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: A step.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: I'm glad you said
that.
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: I think it's --
there's not a question that this is one of the things we
have to accommodate when we do -- when we do that.
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Mm-hmm.

COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: Not only --
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: It's a high priority,
storage items.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: Not only for Paula,
but for the Treasurer, payroll records; all of those things
are permanent records that need to be --
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: Well, that's what I'm
saying.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: -- in a good, dry
storage area. Are you talking about maybe one large area to
accommodate all of this? Or -- certainly not separate areas
for each?
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: No, there's an area
down there that's kind of -- you know, you're putting your
Christmas tree items -- stuff in that kind of a hallway.
Where -- where that hallway spills out into the lower level
there, there is a large room that is not designated for
anything, and I can -- in my mind, I can kind of see a
little storage office-looking thing with the alleyway and
all that kind of thing.
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: And it would be
separate, 'cause you have to separate them for security.
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Yes, absolutely.
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: But that's not a big
expense. That's another wire wall or whatever kind of

construction you use.
MS. RECTOR: Well, I had also discussed with
Commissioner Baldwin that I'm not in a big hurry.
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: That's a good thing.
MS. RECTOR: I just wanted to know that I
have some designated space there for the future. Then I can
start planning what I'm going to do in the back of my
office. I know that Maintenance is very busy, and when this
all comes together, I'd like to have a designated area
there.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: I think -- I mean, for
the budget process, if you can come up with a square footage
that you need, and then we can get that same information
from the other department heads who may have storage, then
we can start planning it during the budget phase, at least
how much it's going to cost.
MS. RECTOR: Okay. Fine with me.
JUDGE HENNEKE: Thank you, Paula.
MS. RECTOR: Thank you.
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Thank you.
JUDGE HENNEKE: With the Court's indulgence,
we have our Designated Representative here to talk about
Item Number 6, which is the inspection fee, so I'd like to
skip to that before we do the public hearing. So, let's go
to Item Number 6, which is consider and discuss approving

and adopting the interim fee schedule for O.S.S.F. real
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: Yes. You'll recall
that when we approved the procedures and when we approved
the -- the order that contained the Section 10 regarding
real estate transfer, that we did not at that time establish
any fees for those inspections and so on. Subject to that,
and earlier this week, I got with the D.R. and staff and
went through what we thought were reasonable fees, and --
and that's what you'll see on this list here that we've
supplied. Actually, some of these fees on here are already
set in our previous order, but the ones like applications
for transfer and the site inspection and report, those top
two and the bottom one, the septic license search, we did
not have on the -- on the schedule. So, what this does is
fills in the blanks, and my proposal would be that we would
make these -- these fees effective until the end of this
fiscal year, because in the process of doing the new D.R.
contract, we're going to review all of the fees, including
these. But, these are reasonable, I think, and it will
cover our cost for the program, and I will make a motion
that we adopt the fees as presented.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: This is only until
September the 30th, at which time they'll be reviewed for

the ensuing budget year?
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: Right, for all of the
fees, not just -- not just the real estate transfer, but
we're going to look at all the fees as a part of that new
contract. And we need to -- we just need a fee to fill in
until we do that.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: So moved.
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: I've already moved.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: Oh. Second.
JUDGE HENNEKE: Moved by Commissioner
Griffin, seconded by Commissioner Williams, that the Court
approve and adopt the interim fee schedule for O.S.S.F, real
estate transfers as presented. Any questions or comments?
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Question. So, Number
1, Number 2, and Number 7 are not in place as of yet?
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: Right. And, what
about Number 6? We don't --
MR. BARRON: If I can look at your --
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: That's the document --
document revision fee. That one I didn't recognize off the
old list.
MR. BARRON: Yes, it was actually on there
also.
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: Oh, okay.

It's just a name change. The fee stays the same.
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: Fee stays the same.
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Are you talking about
Number 6?
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: Right.
MR. BARRON: Yes.
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: So, Number 7 is not a
reality as of this point right here? If I would have
approached -- or a citizen would have approached you before
now and asked you about a septic system somewhere, and you
had to research it, you couldn't charge them $10?
MR. BARRON: That is correct.
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Okay. Thank you.
JUDGE HENNEKE: Any other questions or
comments?
MR. BARRON: The reason that we put that one
in there is because we have numerous different real estate
offices that call -- the different people in the office call
four or five times a day sometimes; they get different hits
on it. They want us to look and see if they have a system.
Just to help us cut down on our paperwork and make them
share information better amongst themselves.
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: I'm going to hand you
an address and ask you to tell me what's going on there.
Actually, Commissioner Williams put me up to it, so are you

going to charge him 10 bucks? I know you wouldn't do that
to me, but would you -- nevermind, but I -- seriously, I do
have an address I need to hand you.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: Send me a bill.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: Question on the -- to me,
isn't that County -- we're requiring those things, so it's
County public records. I don't see how you can charge a fee
for someone to do a search.
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: The difference there
is in relation to a property transfer.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: Right, but if we have --
if we -- this county has mandated you have a licensed
system, which we've done, that's public record. You can't
charge people to access that public record.
JUDGE HENNEKE: No, but you can charge them
for the service of the staff accessing the public records.
If they want to go to the U.G.R.A. and go through the
records themselves, there's no charge for that, but most of
them won't do that. And I think what our D.R. is telling us
is that most of the requests he's getting are not from
citizens, per se, but from real estate offices.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: Okay. That's okay, as
long as they're open to the public to go look through, if
they want to walk in and go through the files.
JUDGE HENNEKE: Which they are. This is for

the service in searching, instead of them coming over and
doing the labor on their own.
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: And this is
probably -- in many cases, it doesn't cover the real cost
either, if you got a tough one. But that's a reasonable --
10 bucks is not unreasonable.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: I get -- may be getting a
little bit off, but why is it so hard to find them? Why
can't you just go through our files, put them on a computer,
and say, "This property has a license, this property
doesn't"? I mean, how is it -- I don't see why -- I mean,
I've never looked. But, by looking around the table, I see
everyone -- this is a major job to find this. I don't see
why it should be a major job to find out if we have a
license.
MR. BARRON: The name of the people changes
from -- from a system when they transfer them. Some of the
road names change. There's -- there could be all types of
different scenarios. The property will sell, different
surveys that you have to look through to find out what
actually the number is on there. There's been all kind of
different scenarios as to why -- why they're difficult.
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: You don't want to take
staff time. They do the search.
JUDGE HENNEKE: I think your point is

well-taken, that given technology today, there should be a
way that we can do an index.
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: I think we'll get all
the road name changes done --
DODGE HENNEKE: With a site index or computer
index, it will be much easier to find them.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: Maybe charge -- I mean,
this is getting off the subject, but to the Tax
Assessor's -- Appraisal District, I mean, their record
numbers, 'cause they keep track of all the properties and
ownership and just --
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: I think they're keying
those now by the R numbers as we convert the files.
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Which brings up
another point. At some point, we need to put these people
and the Appraisal District and all of these offices together
so that they can index each other.
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: Yeah.
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: There's still -- I
know the Appraisal District talks --
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: Shaun, can we do that?
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Appraisal District
talks about it to me all the time. It's just, you know, if
we can somehow put all these things together, it makes it a
lot easier --

COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: Sure.
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: -- to plug in. So --
JUDGE HENNEKE: We have a motion and a
second. Are there any further questions or comments on this
issue? If not, all in favor, raise your right hand.
(The motion carried by unanimous vote.)
JUDGE HENNEKE: All opposed, same sign.
(NO response.)
JUDGE HENNEKE: Motion carries. We have a
couple of minutes before we start our public hearing. Let's
take up Item Number 5, if we could, Commissioner Griffin.
This is Item Number 5, consider and discuss creating a
Justice Court Technology Fund, and requiring certain
convicted defendants to pay court costs for deposit in the
fund in accordance with House Bi11 177.
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: Yes. This was brought
to my attention by -- by Shaun P. Branham, our computer
specialist. And he had, I think, talked with Jannett, and
this -- this bill, a copy of which you have in your packets,
authorizes the Commissioners Court to create this fund.
And, I've also -- since I prepared that backup, I now have
Legislative Budget Board's analysis, and the bill analysis
of the enclosed version that indicate that this, by the way,
Shaun, is for Justice of the Peace courts only, and it has
to be used for Justice of the Peace courts. And, it looks

like, to me, it's one of those things we might want to look
at, because according to the survey that was done by the
Legislative Budget Board, two of our four Justices of the
Peace responded to a questionnaire of what kind of revenues
would this yield, and that would be $7,312 a year for the
two precincts who responded from Kerr County. If we figure
that those are about the same in all four precincts, then
we're looking at about 14,500 bucks that this fund could
generate a year for all of the technology things you see
listed in the bill for the J.P. courts. So, I thought it --
even if we -- if we want to research this some more, have
our County Attorney look at it, I think it's pretty
straightforward. We don't have to vote on this today,
because it's not effective until September lst. If you want
to take some more time and look at it, we could, but I think
it looks like a pretty good thing, to me.
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: I agree.
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: To cover the cost --
and, by the way, one of the background reasons for this was
that in most counties in Texas, there is at least two or
three precincts that aren't at the courthouse. That's why.
The J.P.'s are not at the courthouse; same situation we
have. So -- and municipal courts had a previous bill that
allowed them to charge this fee, so municipal courts in
cities have been able to do it. This extends that same

COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: If -- without further
comment, I would move that we -- that we --
JUDGE HENNEKE: Excuse me. Whoever has that
needs to leave and leave it outside, okay?
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: We need to -- I would
make the motion that we create a Justice Court Technology
Fund, as established by House Bill 177, effective
September lst of 2001.
JUDGE HENNEKE: I presume that your motion is
that we would charge a technology fee of $9 as authorized?
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: By the bill.
JUDGE HENNEKE: In Section B.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: That covers all
misdemeanors?
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: Yes.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: Convictions?
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: Yeah, all convictions.
And that's all that is.
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Second.
JUDGE HENNEKE: Motion by Commissioner
Griffin, second by Commissioner Baldwin, that the Court
establish a Justice Court Technology Fund effective
September lst, Year 2001, to be funded by a $4 fee to be

assessed against any individual convicted of a misdemeanor
offense in a justice court in Kerr County.
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: Judge, let me ask a
quick question, 'cause I may want to amend that motion.
Would it be better, from a bookkeeping point of view, if we
made it effective October lst so it lines up with our fiscal
year?
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Yes.
JUDGE HENNEKE: We'd lose a month worth of
funds then.
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: Yeah. Just a
question. If it creates --
MR. TOMLINSON: We -- you'd have -- it would
be difficult to spend.
JUDGE HENNEKE: We couldn't spend it, but we
could start accruing the money. That's $15,000.
MR. TOMLINSON: Well, I don't know. I don't
know which J.P.'s responded. I have an idea that it has
something to do --
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: We're going to do it
for all of them.
MR. TOMLINSON: But -- yeah, it would cause
a -- an accounting problem. I mean, I would rather start it
October lst.

motion to make it effective October 1st.
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Second. I agree.
JUDGE HENNEKE: The motion's been amended to
make it October lst, in lieu of September 1st. Any further
questions or comments? If not, all in favor, raise your
right hand.
(The motion carried by unanimous vote.)
JUDGE HENNEKE: All opposed, same sign.
(No response.)
JUDGE HENNEKE: Motion carries. The hour
being 10 o'clock, at this time, we will recess the
Commissioners Court meeting and open a public hearing
concerning road name changes in accordance with the Kerr 9I1
guidelines adopted by this court.
(The regular Commissioners Court meeting was
closed at 10;00 a.m., and a public hearing
was held in open court, as follows:)
P U B L I C H E A R I N G
JUDGE HENNEKE: These are road name changes
in Precinct 1 and 2. Before we begin the public hearing,
I'd ask if either Commissioner Baldwin or Commissioner
Williams have any comments or corrections to the list as
published in the newspaper.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS; I have one, Judge.
There seems to be some confusion about the lead item in
Precinct 2, Ace Ranch Road. That was in error. It wasn't

intended to change Ace Ranch Road. Our intention was to
change -- what was the name of it? Street?
MS. HARDIN: Ace Ranch Lane.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: Ace Ranch Lane, which
is a small crossover street, and not the main street running
into Ace Ranch. And, so, that is one change. And I had a
letter from Wilma Palmer suggesting that if we change that
crossover street, that we name it Gary Cross Road, as
opposed to Cross Way East, as has been proposed. And then
the other one in Precinct 2 has to do with what is
advertised as Front Street being changed to Kelly Street
East, It should have been North Street being changed to
Kelly Street East. Those are my only comments.
JUDGE HENNEKE: Commissioner Baldwin?
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Yes, sir, I do have a
couple here. Monroe Drive -- as some of you know, there are
two Monroe Drives, and that's the reason we're changing one.
And there's been just a -- a confusion on which one we're
changing. But on the list here, we have -- actually have
both of them, or at one time we had both Monroe Drives on
there that we were changing, but we are not changing the
first -- as you're going out Ranchero Road and cross the
bridge and turn right on ranch -- on Monroe Drive, that road
is not changing. The second one is. And so that's --
that's South Monroe Drive is changing to Michon llrive South.

And then there was another correction. Canyon View --
changing Canyon View to Tilly Road North, just completely
scratch that. That is not going to happen. And, basically,
that's it. There's a couple of -- you know, changing from
roads to drives and that kind of thing, but it's a --
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: That one's not in the
list, that last one. It's not on the paper.

JUDGE HENNEKE: But we're in a public
hearing.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: I know, but I have a
question about those changes. I don't see how we can change
the two that are in Precinct 2, because they're different

roads. I mean, I don't see how we can announce that it's
Ace Ranch Lane to Ace Ranch Road. We published Ace Ranch
Road. I don't see how you can make that change as a minor
change, because it's a different road. I think the same
goes with North Street and Front Street. One, we're not
changing the roads that we said we're changing, and
therefore public notice wasn't given on those two roads.
JUDGE HENNEKE: Well, those two, to me, have
to be pulled.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: Well, if we have to
pull them and bring them back, fine, but it was our error.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: I understand that, but --
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: We misrepresented it.
Is that correct? And so what we're doing is correcting our
error.
JUDGE HENNEKE: Well, but the point that
Commissioner Letz is making is that the roads that are
actually having their names changed are different from the
roads that were published in the public notice, and so
you're actually acting on roads -- road names that were not
given to the public for purposes of -- of this hearing.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: We just need to delete
Ace Ranch Road and --
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: We can do those next
time.

COMMISSIONER LETZ: -- do them on the next
one, when we put the right names down. It's a minor
technicality, but I think --
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: Whatever. If we have
to do it that way and readvertise it, we will, and we'll
come back with it as Ace Ranch Lane being changed to Gary
Cross Road. Is that correct? Is that what you prefer?
MS. PALMER: 'Cause I don't see why it can't
be left Ace Ranch Lane. That's what it was named in the
beginning.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: Well, 'cause 911 says
we've got a confusing -- too much Ace Ranches.
JUDGE HENNEKE: And North Street to Kelly
Street will have to come back as well.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: Okay, that's fine.
MS. PALMER: But the new name's all right
with us.
JUDGE HENNEKE: All right. Is there any --
any members of the public who'd like to address the Court on
the proposed road name changes as -- particularly in light
of the corrections that will be -- that were outlined and
that will be made in the actual adoption? Once again, this
is a public hearing. Is there anyone from the public who'd
like to address the Court on the issue of the road name
changes as published in the newspaper, and in light of the

discussion on the Court?
MS. PALMER: Well, you are going to leave Ace
Ranch Road alone?
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: Yes, ma'am.
MS. PALMER: Is that right?
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: We're not changing
Ace Ranch Road.
MS. PALMER: Okay. Thank you much.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: It's not proposed to
do that.
MS. PALMER: Okay.
JUDGE HENNEKE: Are there any other public
comments?
(No response.)
JUDGE HENNEKE: One more time, is there any
other member of the public who'd like to address the Court
on the issue of road name changes in Precinct 1 and Precinct
2 as published in the paper? Seeing none, we will conclude
the public hearing on this issue.
(The public hearing was concluded at 10:05
a.m., and the regular Commissioners Court
meeting was reopened.)
JUDGE HENNEKE: We'll take up Item Number
9 -- return to the Commissioners Court meeting and take up
Item Number 9, which is consider the adoption of road name

changes discussed in the public hearing, in accordance with
the guidelines of Kerr 911.
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Judge, I move that we
adopt the schedule that's -- that's provided here with this.
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: With -- is that with
the exception of Ace Ranch?
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: That's true. I'm
sorry, yes.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: We're going to have
to, yeah, move two of them out of there; come back at a
later date, then.
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: That's true.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: We'll come back with
Ace Ranch Lane and come back with North Street.
MS. HARDIN: Do we not need to come back with
the South Monroe, too?
JUDGE HENNEKE: No, 'cause that's the right
name. Just --

changing is correct, we can
but we need to make sure --
MS. HARDIN:
Monroe -- it was advertised
Michon, and it's actually S
to Michon.
LETZ: As long as the name we're
change it in court. We just --

JUDGE HENNEKE: Well, but the point is, South
Monroe was identified as a name -- as a road whose name was
going to be changed.
MS. HARDIN: Okay.
JUDGE HENNEKE: The problem with the two in
Precinct 2 was the correct road was not identified in the
public hearing. So, we're okay. Is that a second,
Commissioner Williams, with the deletion of those two?
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: With the deletion of
those two in Precinct 2.
JUDGE HENNEKE: We have a motion by
Commissioner Baldwin, second by Commissioner Williams, to
approve the name changes in Precinct 1 and Precinct 2, with
the deletion for this consideration of Ace Ranch Lane and
North Street in Precinct 2. Any more questions about what
we're doing now in court?
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: I want to ask Road and
Bridge, does this complete Precinct 1?
MS. HARDIN: Except for the unnamed roads.
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Yeah.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: And Precinct 2 will
come back with two changes next time, readvertising -- we
have to readvertise them, I take it?
MS. HARDIN: Actually, Ace Ranch Lane is not
a County-maintained road, and so therefore does not need a

list of roads.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: Just wanted to be
sure that the folks at Ace Ranch are comfortable with this.
MS. HARDIN: Okay. And then Front, we'll put
on with the precincts, too. We'll just wait and do it with
3 and 4.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: That's fine.
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: Okay.
JUDGE HENNEKE: Any further questions or
comments? If not, all in favor, raise your right hand.

Project, and division of responsibilities between Kerr
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: Last week, the Judge
and I met with representatives of U.G.R.A., Groves
Engineering, and Grantworks, and preliminary -- the real
reason for all of that was to make certain we understood the
division of responsibility, who's doing what, and in a sense
establish a preliminary timeline. This grant prepared by
Grantworks charts -- depicts the division of those
responsibilities, who's doing what and the anticipated time
for those things to happen. It was a good meeting. There
was a lot of -- a lot of anticipation, eager anticipation
for this project to get under way. I know we are eager to
see it happen and want to see this happen, and the U.G.R.A.
is equally responsive and eager to see it happen.
Groves Engineering people have begun to do
some work. They had done some work for U.G.R.A. in this
area before, and so I think we're going to be able to
piggyback on some of the work that they've already done.
We're going to be doing some research as quickly and as
thoroughly as possible with respect to the County's
involvement in the Nimitz sewer line; what we spent, how we
spent it, and when we spent it, and for the ultimate purpose
we've spent it, so that if there's anything available for
use in utilization in this project as a result of that, we

certainly would want to explore that and know what that
might be. Other than that, it's pretty straightforward.
Our responsibilities are as put down here on this particular
chart, and we're off and running.
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Commissioner, my -- my
question is the same question I asked you in the hallway the
other day. It's about the agreements and contracts that we
have with -- that we will have with the U.G.R.A., and I'm
assuming that Grantworks is doing that? Is that what
this --
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: They're going to
prepare the initial draft, so as they see -- as they see
that in terms of the requirements of the grant, they'll
prepare an initial draft. Then the Judge and I will meet
with U.G.R.A. and we'll refine it, and from that it will
become an interlocal agreement.
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Between us and
U.G.R.A.?
COMMISSIONER
to tell the Court exactly w
responsibilities are what.
COMMISSIONER
-- is the City of Kerrville
way?
WILLIAMS: Right. We'll be able

They will do the initial draft.

of Kerrville is involved. They have indicated verbally on
more than one occasion their desire to be the regional
wastewater treatment facility, provide those services for a
fee, but that will become an interlocal between U.G.R.A. and
the City of Kerrville.
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Mm-hmm. Which is in
the process, I understand.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: Yes.
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: But they -- I did not
see that in your chart here, and I was just wondering.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: I guess it's not in
there, but they know it has to be done and it will be done.
But, that's on their timeline; they have to do that.
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Okay.
JUDGE HENNEKE: Any other questions or
comments regarding the timeline?
COMMISSIONER LETZ: No.
JUDGE HENNEKE: Okay. All right. The
remaining item on the agenda is Item Number 7, which is an
item that was sent to us by Bill Tucker at TexDOT, a
resolution to request the State of Texas to declare
0.028 acres in the city of Ingram surplus to the needs of
the State and quitclaim such property to the abutting
landowner. You have in your packets a letter from
Mr. Tucker, as well as a resolution he'd like us to adopt.

Anybody have any questions or comments?
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Judge, I just have to
be honest with you, I've never seen one of these before.
I'm assuming that it's -- the way I see it is that it's
State-owned property, and somehow we're getting involved in
asking the State to give it back to the -- probably the
original property owner, and I -- I don't know. I've just
never seen it before -- seen this before.
JUDGE HENNEKE: That's my understanding,
Commissioner. But, according to Mr. Tucker, this -- this is
the pathway that we have to follow -- that TexDOT has to
follow in order to deed this land to the abutting landowner.
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Does this landowner
request this? Or -- I mean, do they desire it?
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: Actually, it's TexDOT
requesting it. I did -- they want to get rid of it on their
books, and so they have -- Bill Tucker says -- I just called
him -- says they have to ask -- they have to request the
Commissioners Court to do this, and -- which it doesn't make
a whole lot of sense to me.
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Does --
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: But, I mean, I
don't -- I don't oppose us doing a resolution, if that's
what Bill Tucker says they need.
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Does Mr. McGrew --

does he desire to have the land transferred into his name'?
COMMISSIONER LETZ: I think the issue -- from
dealing with TexDOT on some other things, right-of-way
issues with them -- is that there's a building in the
right-of-way and they don't -- I suspect TexDOT doesn't want
the liability of having a structure in their right-of-way,
so they want to get rid of that, and I bet that's what's
driving this. Usually they don't give it back, they just
keep the land. Since there is a building in the
right-of-way, they don't want it.
JUDGE HENNEKE: That's true.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: And I -- just from
dealing with them on other issues, I bet that's the reason.
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Well, I'm -- I just
don't understand what Commissioners Court has to do with it.
But, I mean, I'll certainly vote for it, but --
COMMISSIONER GRlr'FIN: I'll make a motion we
sign the resolution, 'cause I don't think it's -- there's
no -- we're not encumbering any liability or anything by
doing this. So, if Bill Tucker says he needs it, I'm in
favor of doing it. I'll make a motion that we sign the
resolution.
JUDGE HENNEKE: We have a second?
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: I second it.

Griffin, second by Commissioner Baldwin, that the Court
adopt the resolution as presented and authorize -- and
authorize signature by the Judge and the Commissioners.
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: I can see the general
public reading about this in the paper, saying the
Commissioner Court's taking over state property now and
giving it --
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: You know, it came
under -- that old portion went to the City of Ingram, too.
That's in the resolution.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: That's the only
thing.

comments? If not, all in favor, raise your right hand.

JUDGE HENNEKE: Motion carries. Before you
guys get away today, please take a moment and sign the
resolution. I believe that concludes our business for
today. If there's no other business to come before us, we
are adjourned.
