On Monday, November 25, 2002, at 10:00 a.m., a special
meeting of the Kerr County Commissioners Court was held in

P R O C E E D I N G S
DODGE HENNEKE: Good morning, everyone. It's
10 o'clock in the morning on Monday, November 25th. We'll
call to order this special session of the Kerr County
Commissioners Court. First item for consideration is to
consider and discuss accepting the responses to Requests for
Qualifications for design-build team for the
improvement/renovation of the Hill Country Youth Exhibit
Center, and referring responses to DRG Architects, LLC, for
evaluation and recommendation. We have before us what
appear to be four qualifications.
COMMISSIONER GRIFFIN: A little light bedtime
reading there.
DODGE HENNEKE: The first proposal is from
Biermann Construction Company as the contractor, with
Thompson Architects -- I'm trying to find the full name
here.
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: I'm just shocked and
amazed that so many people from the community would come in
for the opening.

the range is between $500 and $1,500. Mr. Elliott, J.P. 1,
