On Monday, October 30, 2006, at 9:00 a.m., a special
posted for this date and time, Monday, October the 30th, 2006,
at 9 a.m. It is that time now. We've got some items on the
agenda, all of which potentially involve executive session, so
what I propose to do is to call all three items and then go
into executive session in those areas that need to be covered
in executive session of each of those items, and then we'll
come back into open session. So, Item 1, consider, discuss,
and take appropriate action on the 2006-2007 payroll step and
grade and position schedule corrections. Item 2, consider,
discuss, and take appropriate action regarding possible
changes to position schedule. And Item 3, consider, discuss,
and take appropriate action to authorize Kerr County to submit
bids to perform certain airport services. It is 9:02, and we
will go out of public or open session at this time to go into
executive or closed session.
(Discussion off the record.)
(The open session was closed at 9:02 a.m., and an
executive session was held, the transcript of which
is contained in a separate document.)

JUDGE TINLEY: Okay. Since we've got Mr. Odom here,
let's go ahead and any -- any matters to be offered in
connection with item Agenda Item 3; consider, discuss, and
take appropriate action to authorize Kerr County to submit
bids to perform certain airport services?
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: I would just like to
observe, if at all possible, Leonard, after you have compiled
your list of questions to ask at the pre-bid conference, --
MR. ODOM: Yes, sir.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: -- I would like to suggest
that you and Mr. Letz and I get together and talk about those
answers before we finalize the bid for presentation to the
Court.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: I actually think it would
probably be helpful to -- when's the pre-bid conference?
MR. ODOM: I knew you'd ask me. I got to find it.
I don't --
COMMISSIONER LETZ: I think it would be helpful for
the three of us to meet, probably prior to the pre-bid
conference, to make sure exactly what's on that list, because
I think it's the information that you need.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: Good.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: You and I have a lot more
experience in dealing on this issue recently.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: But there's -- if there's a

copy of the Kerrville Daily Times out there, the advertisement
is in it, this past Sunday.
(Commissioner Nicholson left the courtroom.)
MR. ODOM: Now, the pre-bid conference is -- is
blank right here, but I want to say that I --
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: It's in the ad.
MR. ODOM: I think it's in the ad. Anyway,
whenever -- I'll look at it again, and we'll come up and make
sure.
(Commissioner Letz left the courtroom.)
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: They're looking to make
~ sure.
JUDGE TINLEY: It occurs to me that you're going to
need to insist upon the actual performance documentation from
the City as to these items that you're going to be bidding on,
as to their actual documentation of performance over the last
two to three years.
(Commissioner Nicholson returned to the courtroom.)
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: Thanks, Dave.
JUDGE TINLEY: To give you a better idea of what
you're actually going to be contending with in actuality.
MR. ODOM: That's true. But I -- if it says weekly,
I have to do that.
JUDGE TINLEY: Well, it's easy for a bid package to
say weekly, which can be a worst-case scenario. But it's --

it occurs to me that it is not -- there's not a level playing
field if you don't have access to those documents that reflect
the actual services performed, the frequency, the amount of
time expended and materials and things of that nature expended
in connection with the work the City's done previously.
(Commissioner Letz returned to the courtroom.)
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: You're 100 percent correct,
Judge, and we fought that battle in all of these discussions
getting us up to this point, because the original drafts of
all those items would say 24/7, 24/7. Well, when you press
the City's road and -- road department, "Did you actually go
out at 2 a.m. on a Sunday morning and fix the road?" The
answer was no, obviously. So, you're correct about that. If
we can get that -- if you can glean that out of Mr. McKenzie,
you can come nearer to getting it out of Bruce McKenzie than
you would out of the Airport Board.
JUDGE TINLEY: Maybe it would behoove us to file a
comprehensive Open Records request for every single document
they've got in the last five years doing that.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: Well, if that's necessary,
then we ought to do that, because they're -- they really are
finessing it.
JUDGE TINLEY: Well, we got to bring them to their
milk.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: I think the other thing on this

issue is that on some of the street work, they -- we need to
make real clear on some of the roads what street repairs are
contemplated. Anyone that's driven out to the airport anytime
recently, Airport Loop Road, which is covered under this
agreement, is in horrible shape, and has been. It's one solid
pothole, and the City has done nothing to fix it in the past
three years.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: That's right.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: So I think, you know, that --
you know, and that's in question. That's one of the issues
that need to be brought up in the pre-bid conference. What
about that road? Because that road really needs to be
excluded.
MR. ODOM: It needs -- yeah, it's not a -- it just
says maintenance. I would assume -- I questioned them, one,
that I would give an hourly rate based upon that and labor
costs associated with it if they used a piece of equipment.
But the complaint on the city airport road, I fixed that; our
part is fixed out there now that I zipped. I zipped that,
because he -- I wanted to see what was underneath it, and they
said yeah, so we -- we fixed it, and my -- that part I fixed
was staying better than the rest of the road was coming apart.
So now I've got it asphalted.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: The last paragraph in the
ad, you know, goes to your question. And that came about by

our insistence that a mandatory pre-bid conference will be
held at 2 p.m. on November 9.
MR. ODOM: November 9.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: In Council Chambers, City
Hall. All questions regarding project directed to the Airport
Manager. But if you can direct something to the road guy in
advance, you might be ahead of the game.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: I would suspect that the -- you
know, we ought to get together this week, maybe Commissioner
Williams and myself and you, go over a list, and send that
list over ahead of time so they have ample... And if they
don't have it -- if they don't provide that information at the
pre-bid conference that we request, that's public information;
then I think you take the Judge's approach the next day and
file an Open Records request.
MR. ODOM: So, you want to get -- y'all pick the
time and I'll meet with you. I -- you know, if it's broken
down, basically, even if I have so much money per cutting,
whether it's five or six times, that should be the bid that
they would base -- base it on. It may not be. But, I mean,
they have to be fair in what they're doing, and you're correct
there. But -- but I don't see it -- I see once we get a
handle on this and coming back, I don't -- it'll go down
pretty --
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: We have almost three weeks

from after the pre-bid conference. Pre-bid conference is
November 9; bids are due on 2 p.m. on the 29th of November, so
we've got almost three weeks to make sure we get all our
information we need.
MR. ODOM: Right. I would like to go out with the
Airport Manager and drive -- I just want to look at some of
these lights, see if they're screw-in down on the -- on the
runways. They're about every 200 feet; there's probably 120
lights that you got to check. It's a matter of learning how
to, I guess, hit a frequency and the lights come on. I don't
know.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: Well, that's an example as to
what we have been up against on this whole project.
Obviously, the City does not want to go out for bids. They
had a requirement under the lighting component originally that
you had to have three years experience working on airport
lights, and I was, like, you know, "Well, that doesn't -- that
kind of rules out everybody except the employee at the City
that's doing it." Because there's no other airport around
I here, and there's no -- I mean, it was -- and they had a
number of things like that built into their original
documents. And we tried to catch a lot of them, but there are
still a lot of things in there that are --
MR. ODOM: Some of them have to be screwed in. Some
of them are snap-on. The fences, they're snapped. It's a ~

matter of snapping off, looking at it, putting the bulb in.
An electrician -- being that it's in the city limits, you got
to have a licensed electrician do that.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: Well, in this case, no. If
you have to have a licensed electrician, that's something --
MR. ODOM: That's a different thing.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: But most of these things
that we're talking about are adjustments. They're adjusted
there on the frame, and you adjust the frame, and it's -- and
adjust the angling of the lights.
MR. ODOM: Right.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: You get a gadget -- you put a
gadget in front and --
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: In the evening, they're
turned on by a radio frequency by an incoming pilot.
MR. ODOM: Right, and it has to be at a certain
angle. They pick up different lights.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: And you'll have that
frequency on, so you can turn them on and off to check them.
MR. ODOM: Right.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: The template goes in front, you
adjust to that template, like doing headlights on a car.
MR. ODOM: That's it.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: Exactly.
MR. ODOM: I don't see a great deal, other than just

the time. It's there to do that on a daily basis, whether
it's five days a week or whether it's seven, and have to come
up with a plan that -- that probably every Monday and every
Thursday, we check the fences. I've got -- it says weekly;
then it comes back and says twice weekly -- at least twice
weekly. So, if we did that, that would give you time on
Friday, if I have a problem, to try to address something on
the fence before the weekend. Then after the weekend, I'd
look at it on Monday to make another run on the thing. So
I -- it just -- so it's using a little -- little common sense
and try to make it the best that I can.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: This just -- remember, the City
tried to make this whole project as onerous as they possibly
could.
MR. ODOM: Sure they are. And I ask the Court that
if they get unreasonable, Doug's crew's involved in this as
well as Donny's crew, so we're talking about taking away from
-- from ours. I don't mind --
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: It's not rocket science.
MR. ODOM: It's not rocket science. And -- but I
just -- if we get it, I assure you, the probability is they're
going to test the limits.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: And just for your information,
on the mowing part, a private contractor is also going to be
submitting a bid on that, I believe.

MR. ODOM: That's fine.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: Which is good. My preference
would be for to us lose and private business to get both at a
lower price. You know, my goal on this whole project would be
to save money out of that airport budget, not for the County
to take on additional work.
MR. ODOM: Well, the way they've got it, they're
pushing the limits of what they spoke up -- they appropriated.
I don't -- I do not believe that it would go for that. I'm
saying that they're -- they aren't going to spend that kind of
money once you get it down.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: Okay.
JUDGE TINLEY: Okay. Anything else on Item 3?
Thank you, Mr. Odom.
MR. ODOM: Yes, sir. Thank y'all.
JUDGE TINLEY: Let's go to Item 1; consider,
discuss, and take appropriate action on the 2006-2007 payroll
step and grade and position schedule corrections.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: Move approval of the new
position schedule -- step and grade and position schedule as
corrected and presented by H.R. Director Hyde.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: Second.
JUDGE TINLEY: Motion made and seconded for approval
of the new step and grade schedule as presented by the H.R.
Director. Any question or discussion on that motion?

to be considered under Item 1? Question. Have we addressed
the corrections --
MS. HYDE: All the corrections.
JUDGE TINLEY: -- in that last motion?
MS. HYDE: The corrections have all been made.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: I would move the approval of
the corrections as presented by the H.R. Director in her
report to the Court.

JUDGE TINLEY: Let's go to Item 2; consider,

changes to position schedule. This is in connection with the
Sheriff's Department.
MR. EMERSON: Rusty, can I interrupt for just a

SHERIFF HIERHOLZER: Yes.
MR. EMERSON: I have a T.C.E.Q. representative
waiting for me downstairs.
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: See 'ya.
MR. EMERSON: If y'all are through with me, may I be
excused? Thank you.
JUDGE TINLEY: Thank you, sir.

Department as presented.
SHERIFF HIERHOLZER: There's one addition that I
didn't talk about that I wanted to get in, okay? I know,
Jonathan. We love doing this.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: Okay.
SHERIFF HIERHOLZER: You see the bottom line savings
there is $24,970. One thing that has come up in this last
budget under the Courthouse Security budget, this Court
approved my hiring a bailiff, an unarmed bailiff for
courthouse security. I visited with both judges on -- 'cause
I wanted their input on selecting this person -- actually, all
three judges. And the one thing that all three, mainly the
two upstairs had voiced a concern about, is that this is an
unarmed position, and they really want it to be an armed
position. Changing -- upgrading that from an unarmed position
to an armed position is a $4,488 budget increase in that
budget. Would this Court consider -- we're giving back the
24,970 there -- if I take 4,488 of that and upgrade that
Courthouse Security position to an armed deputy position?
JUDGE TINLEY: Does that increase include all the
roll-ups, retirement?
SHERIFF HIERHOLZER: That's the starting -- the
starting -- what I did was the starting salary from a jailer
to starting salary of a deputy.
JUDGE TINLEY: Okay, so it does not include the

roll-ups.
SHERIFF HIERHOLZER: Not all the roll-ups in that
$4,000 difference. It wouldn't be more than a couple hundred
for the $4,000, though.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: I think it's a good idea.
SHERIFF HIERHOLZER: That would satisfy my District
Judges.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: Should be an armed position.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: Since you gave us back 24, I
guess we can give you that.
SHERIFF HIERHOLZER: Thank you, sir.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: Now, Jonathan --
JUDGE TINLEY: You had a motion. Do you want to
amend that motion to --
COMMISSIONER LETZ: I'll amend that --
JUDGE TINLEY: -- authorize that bailiff position to
become TCLEOSE-certified to permit carrying a weapon?
COMMISSIONER LETZ: Yes, I do.
SHERIFF HIERHOLZER: Deputy position.
JUDGE TINLEY: Do I hear a second to the motion?
COMMISSIONER NICHOLSON: Second.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: Second.
JUDGE TINLEY: I have a motion and a second. Any
question or discussion on the motion? All in favor of the
motion, signify by raising your right hand.

we have? Anything else? We stand adjourned.

COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: Oops. That's the whole
reason for this meeting on the 30th.
JUDGE TINLEY: Strike that. Strike that. About to
cut the Auditor off. Let's go to Section 4, payment of the
bills.
COMMISSIONER NICHOLSON: I've got a question on Page

COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Shhh.
COMMISSIONER NICHOLSON: It says Justice of the
Peace Number 3, and there's an expense, appears to be for a
seminar at Texas State University in San Marcos. And I'm
wondering why a J.P. that's only got another month of service
is going to a seminar.
JUDGE TINLEY: That indicates it's for the clerk,
according to what I'm reading there.
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: B. Sevey.

JUDGE TINLEY: Motion made and seconded to pay the
bills. Any questions or comments?
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: I've got a couple. On Page
1, I went in and talked with Tommy about it this morning. You
notice we're paying Circle H Team Ropings 4,000, and in my
mind, I thought -- well, I thought they were supposed to be
paying us, and we're paying $4,225. And what that is, for
y'all's information, is that the Henderson roping team --
roping group is canceling for all next year, and we're
reimbursing them their --
JUDGE TINLEY: Deposit?
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: -- deposits.
COMMISSIONER NICHOLSON: It's interesting.
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Isn't that interesting? I
find that very interesting.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: Good catch.
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Thank you.

you figure -- did you find a reason?

of business.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: Are they?
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: And, supposedly, they may be
replaced by some other company from out of town.
COMMISSIONER NICHOLSON: I think they'll be replaced
by somebody, be my guess.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: But it won't be --
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: You feel like that there's
already somebody in the wings waiting?
MR. TOMLINSON: I think so.
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Yeah. And this is just kind
of a little technical question here for Tommy. On Page 3, the
Commitsh'ners Court -- that's Spanish for Commissioners --
down at the bottom, the West Texas Judges and Commissioners
deal. It's the annual dues for each Commissioner, but it says
Books, and the word "public." Now, I know that there's a
books, dues, and whatever line. We're not getting anything
mixed up here, are we?
MR. TOMLINSON: No. They all come out of the same
line item, anyway. I don't know -- I don't know what that's
for.
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Oh, books, dues -- yeah.
Yeah.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: Is the amount correct?
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: He is correct. That's why

Tommy's the top of the line. He's great and wonderful.
That's all the questions I have, Judge. Thank you.
JUDGE TINLEY: Any other questions? Comments? I've
got a few questions, and it's probably something that you can
provide to me, I hope. The total expenditure for attorney's
fees on civil and criminal, plus the reimbursement that we
received through the indigent defense on an annual basis?
MR. TOMLINSON: Yes.
JUDGE TINLEY: Okay. And the same thing for
indigent health for that particular year. Of course, that's
going to be a different year.
MR. TOMLINSON: I can't -- well, the amount we
receive from the indigent defense is not broken down by court.
JUDGE TINLEY: Oh, I understand that. I understand
I that.
MR. TOMLINSON: The total, yes.
JUDGE TINLEY: Yeah. I'm not wanting by court,
necessarily. I'm just wanting totals for criminal, totals for
civil, and then the reimbursement that we got through indigent
defense.
MR. TOMLINSON: For --
JUDGE TINLEY: Total.
MR. TOMLINSON: For reimbursements?
JUDGE TINLEY: Mm-hmm.
MR. TOMLINSON: I don't know that we have any for

JUDGE TINLEY: Well, I understand that. I
understand that.
MR. TOMLINSON: Okay.
JUDGE TINLEY: I understand that the indigent
defense is only going to apply to the criminal.
MR. TOMLINSON: Right. Yeah, I can do that. In
fact, part -- part of the report that we give to -- to the
Office of Court Administration specifies what we were
receiving in reimbursements.
JUDGE TINLEY: Okay.
MR. TOMLINSON: That's part of the report on an
annual basis.
JUDGE TINLEY: Okay. Page 26, I show a bond there
to First Insurance Agency for the Treasurer's assistant. Do
we know the penal amount of that bond?
MR. TOMLINSON: No, I don't -- I don't know what the
amount of the bond is.
JUDGE TINLEY: Okay.
MR. TOMLINSON: I'd have to look it up.
JUDGE TINLEY: Okay.
MR. TOMLINSON: I know we have the bond. I've seen
it, but I don't recall what the amount is.
JUDGE TINLEY: Okay. Let's go to Page 65. I note a
$6,500 expenditure to Hill Country Memorial Hospital. Did --

did the patient get referred from Peterson over to Hill
Country, or how did that work, or do you know?
MR. TOMLINSON: I don't know. I know it's not --
not unusual to have a bill from them.
JUDGE TINLEY: It's not?
MR. TOMLINSON: No.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: We have bills from Methodist
quite a bit frequently.
JUDGE TINLEY: I know we get some, but those are
generally referrals from local physicians for more specialized
care.
SHERIFF HIERHOLZER: If they're a Kerr County
indigent person, then that -- regardless of if they go over
there or are referred or not, that bill's due by Kerr County.
JUDGE TINLEY: Okay. That's all I have.
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Judge, I do have one other
question. On -- actually, it's a couple of pages, but Page
16, this Lucy Sandige Pearson person, what -- who is that
person?
JUDGE TINLEY: She's an attorney.
MR. TOMLINSON: Yeah. That's -- that line item is
for Court-Appointed Attorneys.
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Okay.

it's for --

hand.
(The motion carried by unanimous vote.)
