JUDGE TINLEY: Let me call to order this special
meeting of the Kerr County Commissioners Court scheduled and
posted for this time and date, Monday, November the 20th,
2006, at 10 a.m. It is just a bit past that time now. We
have one item on the agenda, and that is interview candidates
or applicants for the Commissioners Court Coordinator/
Administrative Assistant and discuss and take appropriate
action to make an offer or offers of employment to applicant
or applicants selected. It's indicated that this matter is to
be conducted in closed or executive session, so does any
member of the Court have anything to offer at this time in
open or public session before we go into closed or executive
session? If not, we will go out of open or public session at
10:05, and into closed or executive session for the purpose of
interviewing candidates.
(The open session was closed at 10:05 a.m., and an
executive session was held, the transcript of which
is contained in a separate document.)
Y: Okay. We -- we're back in open or
It is 12:58, it looks like.

were in recess. We're now in order again. Does any member of
the Court have anything to offer with respect to the agenda
