On Tuesday, July 31, 2001, at 2:00 p.m., a special
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: It is 2 o'clock on Tuesday,
July 31st, Year 2001. We'll call to order this special
session of the Kerr County Commissioners Court. The item of
business first on the agenda is to consider and discuss
acceptance of the bids for the Sheriff's Department radio
communications project. We have what appears to be three
sealed bids here. The first bid is from Dailey Wells
Communications of San Antonio. The second proposal is from
Motorola.
(Discussion off the record.)
JUDGE HENNEKE: The third proposal is from
Tyco Electronics. Let me make sure that's right. T-y-c-o,
yes. Tyco Electronics, also known as M/A-COM Private Radio
Systems, Inc.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: Tyco International.
JUDGE HENNEKE: Division of Tyco
International. They are from Lynchburg, Virginia. So, we
have three bids on the radio communications system project.
I would entertain a motion to accept all bids and refer them

to the Sheriff's Department for evaluation and
recommendation.
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: So moved.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: Second.
JUDGE HENNEKE: Motion by Commissioner
Baldwin, second by Commissioner Letz, that the Court accept
all three bids for the Sheriff's Department radio
communications project and refer them to the Sheriff's
Department for evaluation and recommendation. Any further
questions or comments? If not, all in favor, raise your
right hand.
(The motion carried by unanimous vote.)
DODGE HENNEKE: All opposed, same sign.
(No response.)
JUDGE HENNEKE: Motion carries. Sheriff, do
you have any guesstimate as to when y'all will be prepared
to make a recommendation?
SHERIFF HIERHOLZER: I talked to Trott
Communications, our consultants, day before yesterday. They
said they would start on them as soon as I could get them a
copy. I don't know if I'm going to have to make copies yet;
I don't know if they provided extra ones. I'll make sure,
and then we'll see how detailed they are and get iriLo it. I
would hope within the next month, for sure.
JUDGE HENNEKE: E'or sure.

SHERIFF HIERHOLZER: I just don't know.
There's a lot of technical stuff, and just -- I don't know.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: Judge, on the -- when do
you plan to call our next budget meetings? We'll ask
Trott -- because that's kind of an important component of
our budget.
JUDGE HENNEKE: We're going to have a
workshop a week from tomorrow on elected officials'
salaries, at 4 o'clock. A week after that, we're all at the
post-legislative conference. So, my -- my proposal is that
early the week of August the 20th, we will have more of a
tighten-up budget, so if -- if there's any way that Trott
could have the recommendation by Monday, August 20th, that
would be very beneficial, 'cause that's when we -- it's
going to be a major part of the budget consideration.
SHERIFF HIERHOLZER: Okay.
JUDGE HENNEKE: Okay? Do you want to try to
take these now?
SHERIFF HIERHOLZER: Sit them here and then
I'll just load them in the truck.
JUDGE HENNEKE: Remember, the original -- an
original of each has to stay in the courtroom -- courthouse,
so you need to pull out the originals.
(Discussion off the record.)
JUDGE HENNEKE: Okay. We will now adjourn
