This is a special session, so we 4 won't go through the other part. The pledge and we will 5 have the prayer, I think. Who's up on that? I think 6 you are. 7 COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Let's pray. 8 JUDGE POLLARD: Okay. The first and last 9 items 1.1 and 1.8 are both executive session items. 10 Shall we start with 1.2 and go through that first and 11 save all the executive's last. 12 COMMISSIONER LETZ: I believe we need to do 13 the executive. I know you have a schedule this morning 14 and the County Attorney has a schedule this morning. 15 JUDGE POLLARD: I do. 16 COMMISSIONER LETZ: I believe the rest we 17 can recess and deal with tomorrow. 18 JUDGE POLLARD: All right. We'll call item 19 1.1 and 1.8, and go into executive session at this time 20 under -- pursuant to section 551.071, point 072, point 21 073, point 074, point 078, point 0785, and point 076, 22 point 087 of the chapter 51 of the Texas government 23 code, we're in closed session. 24 (Executive Session was had.) 25 JUDGE POLLARD: Back in open session at this 4 1 time. 2 COMMISSIONER LETZ: I'll make a motion to 3 direct the County Attorney to contact an employee's 4 attorney. 5 COMMISSIONER REEVES: I'll second that. 6 COMMISSIONER MOSER: Regarding -- 7 COMMISSIONER LETZ: Regarding employment. 8 COMMISSIONER MOSER: Personnel. 9 JUDGE POLLARD: Personnel matter. All 10 right. And then we're going to recess now until -- 11 COMMISSIONER LETZ: Let's vote on that. 12 SHERIFF HIERHOLZER: I would like to make 13 one thing before you do recess. 14 COMMISSIONER MOSER: Let's vote on that. 15 JUDGE POLLARD: All right. Is there a 16 second to that motion? 17 COMMISSIONER MOSER: Second. 18 JUDGE POLLARD: Been moved and seconded that 19 the call be made to the employee's attorney as 20 discussed. And is there any further discussion on it? 21 There being none, those in favor of the motion signify 22 by raising your right hands. It's five zero. Okay. 23 COMMISSIONER LETZ: You can go ahead and 24 depart. 25 JUDGE POLLARD: Yeah, I got to go to the 5 1 doctor's appointment, and that were rescheduled several 2 times. I just can't reschedule it. 3 COMMISSIONER REEVES: Thank you, Judge. 4 MRS. STEBBINS: I'm going to wait until 5 Rusty's done with what he needs to tell you. 6 COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Well, let the record 7 reflect that the Judge is leaving for a doctor's 8 appointment. 9 And Sheriff Hierholzer, you have something 10 to present to the Court? 11 SHERIFF HIERHOLZER: I have two, just as 12 elected officials report you might say. Number one is 13 jail population is a 196 this weekend. A 192 this 14 morning. We arrested one with Bexar County warrants, 15 we're taking that person directly to Bexar County. I've 16 already called Buddy Mills, Sheriff over in Gillespie 17 County, and he is on standby to receive any that we have 18 to receive. We are going to have to house out of County 19 with no budget to do it. 20 COMMISSIONER MOSER: That exceeds the limit 21 by how much? 22 SHERIFF HIERHOLZER: 153 I'm overcrowded. I 23 got a 192. I have a 192 beds, and that's it. 24 COMMISSIONER MOSER: That's what I was 25 trying to do, 192 beds. 6 1 COMMISSIONER LETZ: That's the highest it's 2 ever been, isn't it? 3 SHERIFF HIERHOLZER: Close. But some of 4 them don't count like the 196, about ten of those were 5 in a holding tank because they had been arrested the 6 night before. So we were trying to shuffle and get them 7 out so you stay in compliance the best you can. 8 Now, the other thing I need to advise this 9 Court of, have issued a press release this morning that 10 I would like to read to y'all, because I think it will 11 have drastic effects on this County, and on our 12 Department. 13 Kerr County Sheriff says enough is enough. 14 For the last several years Kerr County Sheriff Rusty 15 Hierholzer has been in and what could be described as a 16 battle for right and wrong with the Kerr -- Kerrville 17 Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities, former 18 MHMR and the Kerrville Crisis Unit, Stabilization Unit. 19 This is The State of Texas forcing more unfunded 20 mandates on our local taxpayers. Even our own local 21 State Representative Andy Murr told the Sheriff it is 22 going to get worse in this next legislative year, due to 23 the drop in oil prices. The State of Texas continues to 24 be ranked between 48th and 50th in State funding for 25 mental health services in the country. Kerrville 7 1 currently has both a State hospital and a crisis 2 stabilization unit that will not even accept our own 3 local residents in crisis, and in need of mental health 4 services. 5 The attorney for the crisis stabilization 6 unit is currently attempting to rewrite the commitment 7 orders forcing our local peace officers to transport 8 local Kerr County residents in need, who are not 9 criminals, in marked patrol cars, handcuffed and behind 10 a cage to wherever they deem appropriate in the State. 11 For example, San Antonio or even El Paso, because they 12 are full and thus not the appropriate place despite the 13 Texas Administrative Code, stating that Hill Country 14 MHDD can transport to the appropriate facility. 15 This is not right, and I hope our citizens 16 will stand up and say no. If MHDD policies in Kerr 17 County change, what it means to Kerr County citizens is 18 that the Sheriff's Office, which currently only has four 19 to five patrol deputies on duty at any time will only 20 have two or three to cover the 11 hundred square miles 21 while the other two would be on a transport with a 22 mentally ill patient in crisis. The Texas 23 Administrative Code states that CSU can accept them, do 24 a preliminary exam, and then MHDD can transfer them to 25 the most appropriate hospital. What their attorney has 8 1 stated is that quote, that is not their problem. The 2 former director and I did not always see eye to eye, 3 said Sheriff Hierholzer, but she always stated that 4 they, the local CSU, which is now named for her, Linda 5 Werlein would always accept them, even if full. And 6 then if the patient needed to be transferred to another 7 hospital the CSU and MHDD would do that. 8 The attached Kerr County Commissioners' 9 Court transcript, the current director whom I've had 10 several conversations with, in my opinion, does not seem 11 as concerned about the patients, and is now willing to 12 force patients on civil commitments, not charged with a 13 crime, to be transported like criminals. People who are 14 not doctors, nurses or mental health professionals -- by 15 people who are not doctors, nurses or mental health 16 professionals, for long distance while forcing Kerr 17 County residents in need of law enforcement service to 18 either do without or experience extreme delayed response 19 time. Their officials have told us that there are 20 currently 25 empty beds at the Kerrville State Hospital, 21 but they cannot be used because the State will not give 22 them the funding to do it. 23 Now, when a person is in crisis instead of 24 getting emergency treatment here where it is available, 25 they the officials with MHDD just want us to load them 9 1 up and drive them possibly across the State. This is 2 prior to the person receiving any kind of treatment, 3 whether that be medical or mental. That seems really 4 smart in an emergency crisis. 5 This is putting our officers as well as the 6 patient in danger. I cannot even think that my mother, 7 who God bless her soul, had mental issues after having 8 brain surgery for an aneurysm, would have to be 9 transported to a hospital that serves mentally ill 10 patients in the back of a patrol car behind the cage and 11 in handcuffs. It appears that the very leaders that are 12 supposed to care for and treat our citizens with mental 13 health needs are making mental health a law enforcement 14 issue. 15 We have hospitals for people with medical 16 needs and ambulances, EMT's, and paramedics to transport 17 patients there. Why is it any different for people with 18 mental illness, after all it is an illness; not a crime. 19 If the public does not demand change immediately, then 20 unfortunately your law enforcement services and response 21 time will change. Very concerned. Rusty Hierholzer, 22 Kerr County Sheriff. 23 COMMISSIONER MOSER: I'd like to comment on 24 that if I may. 25 SHERIFF HIERHOLZER: Attached to this -- 10 1 COMMISSIONER LETZ: This is not an agenda 2 item. 3 SHERIFF HIERHOLZER: No; I'm making a 4 report. 5 COMMISSIONER LETZ: We don't have reports on 6 the agenda. 7 MRS. STEBBINS: Oh. There are no reports on 8 the agenda, this is true. 9 COMMISSIONER REEVES: We cannot discuss it. 10 MRS. STEBBINS: No, you cannot discuss it. 11 SHERIFF HIERHOLZER: Can't discuss it at 12 all. But attached to this is a Commissioners' Court 13 agenda -- or transcript, where Miss Werlein states if it 14 were not available to Kerr County then that would be the 15 realization of my dreams because it would mean that the 16 unit stays full. If it were not, then Sheriff 17 Hierholzer and his staff and the Chief of Police and 18 police staff would simply drop the individual off, there 19 would be an assessment made, and then we would send them 20 to the next. We would do that. We would do the 21 transporting ourselves. This is not just for Kerr 22 County, that is any County that's admitting to our 23 Crisis Stabilization Unit. Does that respond to your 24 question? There was a question asked by Commissioner 25 Williams at the time. Okay. And that's the way it was. 11 1 Because this County assisted them by putting in their 2 parking lot to create the Crisis Stabilization Unit and 3 that was the agreement then. 4 MRS. STEBBINS: And if I can add that I am 5 working with the Sheriff's Department, and the Judge is 6 informed and will continue to be informed. If we need 7 to place this item or something that relates to this 8 item on the agenda soon we will, but we are working 9 towards a resolution. 10 SHERRIFF HIERHOLZER: And I wanted this 11 Court to beware that this has gone public, and it is, 12 I'm tired of dealing with this. 13 COMMISSIONER MOSER: So we can't comment. 14 MRS. STEBBINS: No, Sir. But I'm sure Rusty 15 will be glad to talk to you. 16 COMMISSIONER MOSER: I'll be glad to talk to 17 Rusty and the newspapers to support Rusty. 18 SHERIFF HIERHOLZER: Thank you, gentlemen, 19 that's all I have. 20 COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Thank you, Sir. 21 COMMISSIONER LETZ: Hold on, don't you leave 22 yet. 23 SHERIFF HIERHOLZER: I gotta get my hat, 24 it's outside. 25 COMMISSIONER LETZ: Please. 12 1 COMMISIONER MOSER: Please. 2 COMMISSIONER LETZ: Do we need to -- I mean 3 we need to deal with these other things. Do we need to 4 go back into executive session on 1.1 because there's -- 5 COMMISSIONER REEVES: There's personnel. 6 COMMISSIONER LETZ: We need to talk about 7 that a little bit more with possibly -- like possibly 8 the Sheriff and maybe the HR person in the room. 9 COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: It's the desire of 10 the Court. 11 COMMISSIONER LETZ: I thought of something 12 and I really can't go into it. But we can do the other 13 two items first. 14 COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Is there other items 15 on the agenda that we want to take care of today? 16 COMMISSIONER MOSER: Yeah, 1.2. 17 COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Why would we want to 18 do 1.2, because it's your's? 19 COMMISSIONER MOSER: Yeah, precisely. 20 MRS. STEBBINS: I'm going to excuse myself. 21 Abigail is here and can answer any questions that you 22 have to a limitation, because she has not reviewed all 23 of these documents, if you address those issues. I'm 24 going to make a phone call. I will call you later on. 25 COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Item 1.2 consider, 13 1 discuss and take appropriate action to appoint a member 2 to the steering committee for flood warning system. 3 Commissioner Moser. 4 COMMISSIONER MOSER: Okay. Keep that real 5 short. We've all anticipated in a meeting the other day 6 with the two cities, and UGRA board, and we at that time 7 it was recommended that each one of the entity's plus 8 the two emergency management coordinators form a 9 steering committee. So that steering committee member 10 has been identified via UGRA, I think the city's working 11 on it, so I'll make a motion that we -- and I will be 12 happy to serve in that capacity as the Court's 13 representative on steering committee for assessing the 14 flood warning system for the Guadalupe River in Kerr 15 County. So that's my motion. 16 COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: There's a motion. Is 17 there a second? 18 COMMISSIONER LETZ: Second. 19 COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: And I think it's to 20 appoint him to this committee. Has the committee been 21 formed? 22 COMMISSIONER MOSER: It's being formed, 23 that's what I said. UGRA has named their member, we 24 need to do that and the two cities. 25 COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: And we have a second? 14 1 COMMISSIONER LETZ: Second. 2 COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Okay, we have a 3 second. Any further discussion? 4 COMMISSIONER REEVES: I would just say I 5 thought the meeting was good. But I hope that you do 6 not only limit your study to the river. I think as 7 we've learned the past couple weeks, look at these 8 creeks and -- 9 COMMISSIONER MOSER: Let me take the river 10 out of that and say Kerr County, okay. That's a good 11 point, yeah. Absolutely agree with you. 12 COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: And I'd like to make 13 a comment. That once you figure out how much money 14 you're going to do, you're going to need to do this 15 thing, that it's put in this budget, and we don't come 16 in at a later time and try to figure out where all this 17 money's coming from. 18 COMMISSIONER MOSER: Precisely. There won't 19 be anything done except some recommendations to go back 20 to the entities, yeah. But you're right it should be 21 part of the budget process. 22 COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: All in favor raise 23 your right hand. It's four-O vote. 24 Why can't we go ahead and do a couple these? 25 COMMISSIONER LETZ: We can do all of them, 15 1 you're in charge. 2 COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Well, I mean y'all 3 are coming back in here talking about late tonight and 4 doing something. Miss Doss, there she is, did you want 5 to do a couple of these things? 6 MRS. DOSS: Sure, if you want to. 7 COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Would you step up 8 here. Item 1.3 consider, discuss and take appropriate 9 action regarding County vehicles that have incurred hail 10 damage. Auditor Doss. 11 MRS. DOSS: Yes. 12 COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Or the Doss Auditor. 13 MRS. DOSS: I think you have a list of all 14 the vehicles that incurred hail damage. We're still 15 waiting to hear from the adjustor on the 2007 Tahoe at 16 the Sheriff's office. We have the Constable 1, his 17 vehicle was totalled. And then we had four vehicles at 18 the Sheriff's office that were totalled. 19 SHERIFF HIERHOLZER: Well, the fourth one is 20 being used. 21 MRS. DOSS: Yeah, the fourth one is the two 22 thousand -- 23 SHERIFF HIERHOLZER: And that vehicle is the 24 same vehicle is not a law enforcement vehicle. The year 25 2000, it's got a hundred and 87 or a hundred and 89 16 1 thousand miles on it. It was my patrol captain's 2 vehicle. It did receive damage in this last hail storm 3 including a cracked windshield, a broken windshield and 4 dings all over it. And I'm sure that when the adjustor 5 sees it they will total it like they did the other three 6 of our vehicles. All of our vehicles that have been 7 totalled, the four, are all CID unmarked vehicles. The 8 problem is, I don't really have the funds especially if 9 I have to start housing out of County. We're going to 10 end up in a crisis, because I need to replace these four 11 vehicles. They don't have to be replaced with brand new 12 or even police package or anything. I can go to any car 13 lot and pick up four halfway decent vehicles, you know 14 with decent miles so they'll last a few years. Okay. 15 Just four-door vehicles is what we need. Most of them 16 only require we put our radios in them and that's it, 17 just for investigative use. 18 COMMISSIONER LETZ: So as I read this we 19 have like 30 some thousand dollars coming in for 20 totalled vehicles from the Sheriff's Department, or 21 Constable and Sheriff? 22 MRS. DOSS: Yes. That's the net insurance 23 proceeds, and less the thousand dollars deductible. 24 COMMISSIONER LETZ: And how much is it going 25 to -- do you have any idea how much it's going to cost? 17 1 SHERIFF HIERHOLZER: I could say that we put 2 it at a cap at the cost of eight, ten thousand dollars a 3 vehicle, when you're buying used vehicles. Those would 4 be plenty that would last us a long time. Now, I do 5 have some funds that I don't mind either in donation or 6 Hurbert money, I think I got 29 thousand in it, and I do 7 have some in seizure, but I hate to use all that up for 8 these vehicles, to be honest. 9 COMMISSIONER LETZ: So you've got about out 10 of your department, two vehicles with the proceeds, the 11 16 thousand of that 30 thousand, whatever it is. 12 SHERIFF HIERHOLZE: Well, I would bet you're 13 going to look at more than ten thousand dollars a 14 vehicle for a used vehicle. I don't know. I haven't 15 been out and bought a used vehicle for a long time. 16 COMMISSIONER LETZ: How much do you have? 17 Maybe you can chip in. 18 SHERIFF HIERHOLZER: If the Court would chip 19 in 20, I will chip in 20. And that would give me enough 20 to -- 21 COMMISSIONER REEVES: When you're saying 22 chipping in, over and above the insurance claim? 23 SHERIFF HIERHOLZER: No. If whatever 24 settles out with the insurance and that, I can get 20 25 thousand dollars from the Court, I can use 20 thousand 18 1 dollars of either my seizure or Hurbert to match the 2 other and we can put a cap at ten thousand dollars a 3 vehicle so I can purchase four vehicles. 4 COMMISSIONER LETZ: Can you find five 5 thousand somewhere else? 6 MRS. DOSS: I'm sorry? 7 COMMISSIONER LETZ: The Sheriff's vehicles 8 total about 15 thousand, almost 16 thousand. 9 MRS. DOSS: Yes. 10 COMMISSIONER LETZ: So we need to come up 11 with another four thousand. 12 MRS. DOSS: Yes, we can come up with another 13 four thousand. 14 COMMISSIONER LETZ: I'll make that motion to 15 authorize the Sheriff to purchase four vehicles, not to 16 exceed 40 thousand dollars, with 20 thousand to come 17 from funds unallocated -- or funds at the Sheriff's 18 discretion within his accounts, the balance of 20 19 thousand would come from 3,275, 3,200, and 9,350, some 20 of that plus what was needed to get to 20 thousand. 21 SHERIFF HIERHOLZER: Now, one of those -- 22 one of my vehicles was the unmarked one, I don't know if 23 you even have it on there, just to make sure, is a Chevy 24 Caprice that is not totalled. They did not total it. 25 It got $8,000.00 damage from the hail, but which is 19 1 getting fixed, but it's not one of the totalled 2 vehicles. 3 COMMISSIONER REEVES: When we're talking 4 four vehicles though, we've got three to date that are 5 totalled. And we're assuming that that '01 -- 6 SHERIFF HIERHOLZER: 00. 2000. 7 COMMISSIONER REEVES: The 2000 Tahoe is 8 going to be totalled, too. 9 SHERIFF HIERHOLZER: Right. 10 COMMISSIONER REEVES: So if it is, that will 11 be some of the money that we're -- because we're not 12 accounting for that. 13 SHERIFF HIERHOLZER: If you want, if it is, 14 then we go with the motion you just made. If that 15 vehicle is not, I feel it definitely will just because 16 of the mileage and the windshield and all that, if that 17 vehicle is not then I will cut this back down to three 18 vehicles because that's all I'll have that are totalled. 19 And funding associately cuts back -- 20 COMMISSIONER LETZ: My motion was made. Is 21 there a second to it? 22 COMMISSIONER MOSER: Second. 23 COMMISSIONER LETZ: Seconded. And deal with 24 it next week, and can get you started. 25 COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: All in favor raise 20 1 your right hand. Four-O vote. 2 MRS. DOSS: Okay. And so what do you want 3 to do about Constable 1's vehicle? 4 COMMISSIONER REEVES: Wait until the 5 morning. 6 MRS. DOSS: Dawn had told me that once a 7 vehicle is totalled -- I mean I can check and see and 8 will call TAC, and see if we could un total it, but I 9 don't think we can. 10 COMMISSIONER MOSER: Well, we can still keep 11 it, right? 12 MRS. DOSS: You can buy it back from 13 salvage. But it cannot be fully insured then, only 14 liability, and then you lose your 17 thousand dollar 15 investment. 16 SHERIFF HIERHOLZER: And the issue I had was 17 the hail damage on the roof, they have to go ahead and 18 totally replace the roof. Which when they cut that roof 19 off or replace it, if you look on the paperwork where 20 they say it's been totalled, they say frame damage and 21 that's because of that frame holding up that roof 22 that's structural on the vehicle and then you've got a 23 liability issue, okay, for somebody to operate it. 24 MRS. DOSS: And so far the constable has had 25 all of his equipment removed, and the communications to 21 1 be installed in a replacement vehicle. 2 COMMISSIONER LETZ: Can we deal with that 3 one on Monday? 4 MRS. DOSS: Yes, Sir, if you would prefer. 5 COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Item 1.4 consider, 6 discuss and take appropriate action to amend Court Order 7 #35596 that's reallocating funds from the 2014 CO to the 8 Sheriff's Department Communications, to increase the 9 amount by an additional $25,000.00, from $42,438 to 10 $67,438. Mrs. Doss. 11 MRS. DOSS: Yes. In July of 2015 the Court 12 approved to allocate 25 thousand dollars for the 13 Mountain Home tower remediation and that money has not 14 been expended, and when we did the Court on 5-23-2016, I 15 did not remember the 25 thousand dollars had been 16 allocated previously. So in order to have enough for 17 the first payment of the Sheriff's tower system, we 18 would need to reallocate another 25 thousand dollars. 19 COMMISSIONER LETZ: I'll move approval of 20 the agenda item. 21 COMMISSIONER REEVES: Second. 22 COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: There's a motion and 23 a second. All in favor raise your right hand. Four-O 24 vote. Thank you. You want to keep going? 25 COMMISSIONER LETZ: Yeah, we can do the next 22 1 one. 2 COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: You want to do number 3 5, Commissioner Letz? 4 COMMISSIONER LETZ: Yes. 5 COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Yes. 1.5 consider, 6 discuss and take appropriate action to approve order 7 authorizing and approving the execution of two loan 8 forgiveness agreements with the Texas Water Development 9 Board in the amounts of 11 thousand -- $11,700,273.00 10 and -- I can't read that next one, I'm sorry. 11 COMMISSIONER LETZ: 416,000. 12 COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: $416,000.00, 13 respectively, in connection with the Center Point/East 14 Kerr County Wastewater System, and other matters related 15 thereto. Commissioner Letz. 16 COMMISSIONER LETZ: These are two agreements 17 that were prepared by Tom Spurgeon, our lead council. 18 And needs the Judge's signature to proceed with the loan 19 forgivingness portions of that project. And I move for 20 approval. 21 COMMISSIONER MOSER: Second. 22 COMMISSIONER LETZ: And authorize the County 23 Judge to sign same. 24 COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: We have a second. 25 All in favor raise your right hand. Motion passes 23 1 four-O. 2 1.6 consider, discuss, take appropriate 3 action to approve order authorizing and approve the 4 execution of a Grant Agreement with the Texas Water 5 Development Board in an amount not to exceed 6 $14,050,618.00 in connection with the Center Point/East 7 Kerr County Wastewater System, and other matters related 8 thereto. Commissioner Letz. 9 COMMISSIONER LETZ: The previous one we 10 dealt with related to the State revolving funds, funds 11 that we were getting. This referred to the EDAP funds. 12 Again, this is a document that was prepared by Tom 13 Spurgeon, our outside council, related to the East Kerr 14 project, and I move for approval. 15 COMMISSIONER MOSER: Second. 16 COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: We have a motion and 17 second. All in favor raise your right hand. Four-O 18 vote. Thank you. 19 COMMISSIONER LETZ: And authorize the County 20 Judge to sign that as well. 21 COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Very good. 22 1.7 consider, discuss, take appropriate 23 action to approve all documents relating to closing 24 grants, loan forgiveness and/or the 2016 certificate of 25 obligation related to Center Point/East Kerr County 24 1 Wastewater System. Commissioner Letz. 2 COMMISSIONER LETZ: No action on that today. 3 We might leave that for tomorrow. 4 COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Item 1.8 discuss -- 5 COMMISSIONER LETZ: Wait. 6 COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: What? 7 COMMISSIONER LETZ: Tomorrow. 8 COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Tomorrow. Is there 9 going to be a meeting tomorrow? 10 COMMISSIONER LETZ: Yes. 11 COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: 1.8 discuss and/or 12 approve agreement with Kendall County Water Control and 13 Improvement District Number 1 relating to the Center 14 Point/East Kerr County Wastewater System. You want to 15 go into executive session to discuss that? 16 COMMISSIONER LETZ: We'll do that tomorrow, 17 too. 18 COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: That's going to be 19 tomorrow.
