On Tuesday, April 18, 2006, at approximately 3:30 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 TINLEY: Let me call to order the special
Commissioners Court meeting posted for Tuesday, April 18th,
2006, at 2:30 p.m. It's approximately an hour after that now,
as necessitated by the Kerr County Juvenile Facility Board of i
Trustees meeting. We have one item on the agenda, and that is
to consider, discuss, and take appropriate action to authorize
hiring of experts for the E.B.A. lawsuit. With regard to this
matter, Mr. Emerson, is it your belief that we need to go
directly into executive session?
MR. EMERSON: Yes, sir, I think the discussion of
the case needs to take place in executive, and whatever order
y'all choose to take place in open afterwards.
JUDGE TINLEY: Very well. We will go out of open or
public session at 3:35.
(The open session was closed at 3:35 p.m., and an
executive session was held, the transcript of which
is contained in a separate document.)
	JUDGE	TINLEY:	Okay	. We	will	come	back into	open or
public	session	at 3:45.	Does	any	member	of	the Court	have

anything to offer with regard to the matters discussed in

COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: I would move that the Court
authorize the County Attorney to communicate with the law firm
of Shaddox, Compere, Walraven, and Good affirmatively with
respect to the hiring of experts for the E.B.A. lawsuit.
COMMISSIONER NICHOLSON: Second.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: With an amount not to exceed
$10,000.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: That's fine.
COMMISSIONER NICHOLSON: Second.
JUDGE TINLEY: Motion made and seconded. Is there
any question or discussion on the motion? All in favor of the
motion, signify by raising your right hand.
(The motion carried by unanimous vote.)
JUDGE TINLEY: All opposed, same sign.
(NO response.)

member of the Court have anything further to offer with regard
to the agenda item? Hearing nothing further, we'll stand
adjourned.
(Commissioners Court adjourned at 3:46 p.m.)
