On Wednesday, April 12, 2006, at 2:00 p.m., an emergency
meeting of the Kerr County Juvenile Facility Board of Trustees
was held in the Commissioners' Courtroom, Kerr County
Courthouse, Kerrville, Texas, and the following proceedings
P R O C E E D I N G S
JUDGE TINLEY: Let me call to order what was posted
as an emergency meeting of the Kerr County Juvenile Facility
Board of Trustees for Wednesday, April the 12th, 2006, at
2 p.m. It is that time now. This was originally posted as an
emergency meeting under the tentative approval that it did
meet the criteria for an emergency; however, I'm going to turn
it over to the County Attorney at this time.
MR. EMERSON: Thank you, Judge. After careful
reconsideration of all the facts, I think that this meeting
probably does not meet the standards for an emergency. It was
posted under the "unreasonably foreseeable circumstances"
clause of the Open Meetings Act, and I think since the
Trustees acted Monday with the understanding that the Juvenile
Board had to approve the plan that was proposed, that a
reasonable person could say the Juvenile Board may or may not
have approved it, and as such, it should have been
anticipated. It's my understanding that we do have an
employee at the Juvenile Detention Facility that meets the
standards to be able to step in as interim administrator, and

therefore the doors do not have to close, and therefore you
don't have an imminent threat to the health or safety of the
kids out there. And I think the proper action at this time
would be to post it for 72 hours and have a regularly
scheduled meeting.
JUDGE TINLEY: Thank you, sir. We won't go forward
with the agenda item at this time. What do we have in the way
of availability of members of the Court so that we might work
on getting something posted?
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: 72 hours would be, at
earliest, Monday; is that correct, Judge?
JUDGE TINLEY: Yep.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: I'm available.
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: I'm available.
COMMISSIONER NICHOLSON: Are you available Monday?
COMMISSIONER LETZ: S thought we started at 2:00.
COMMISSIONER NICHOLSON: The County Attorney just
shut us down.
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: This meeting's over.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: Oh. No, I'm not available
Monday. I'm not -- I'll be out of town Monday.
JUDGE TINLEY: How about Tuesday?
COMMISSIONER LETZ: I will be here Tuesday.
JUDGE TINLEY: You'll be here Tuesday? I've got a
mental health docket in the morning. I could do it either

late morning or afternoon. What's the pleasure?
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: If we did it in the
afternoon, Commissioner Letz and I have a late Airport Board
meeting, but that's 5 o'clock, so anytime before that, far as
I'm concerned, is okay.
JUDGE TINLEY: 1:30, 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon?
COMMISSIONER LETZ: 2 o'clock will be fantastic.
JUDGE TINLEY: Okay.
COMMISSIONER NICHOLSON: Don't have to make two
trips to town.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: You understand.
JUDGE TINLEY: Okay.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: 2 o'clock April 18th?
JUDGE TINLEY: Since we're unable to go forward at
this time, we will -- I hate to say "adjourn," because we
could never officially come to order, but you're released.
Thank you.
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Thank you.
