Commissioner Daugherty absent for the rest of this meeting. 44, move we authorize the county judge to sign the tax resale deed to alfredo maldonado.
>> second.
>> all in favor? That passes by unanimous vote. Number 45, I move that we authorize the county judge to sign the tail resale deed deed to emerson vance, who has paid -- this involves three tracts of land, Travis County number one, $6,032.07. Tract number 20, $7,954.86. And tract number 3, -- the middle tract is number 20, not number two.
>> and tract number 3, $5,392.74, all of these paid in cash. Discussion? All in favor? That passes by unanimous vote. Number 46, I move that we authorize the county judge to execute the tax resale deed deed to timothy e. Boies, who has paid $3,429.20 in cash.

>> in cash. Right? This is a little different. $15,000 I see, though. Discussion? All in favor? That passes by unanimous vote. Thank you, mr. Vic. Number 52 involves the proposed lease agreement at the farmer's market involving wright and earl's, d/b/a danny's barbecue and catering.
>> judge, I move that we approve the lease proposed to Travis County.
>> discussion? That passes by unanimous vote. We did not discuss 53. It will be back on the court's agenda next week. Number 54 involves sb 873. We did discuss that. No action required today. We did give staff directions to prepare documents for our review, consideration and possible action on Tuesday of next week. 55 involves county property that is now used as a transfer station on state highway 620. Any action today?
>> no. But I think we need to have this item put back on next week's agenda next week, judge, with some different wording that will allow some take appropriate actions that aren't really covered by this item.
>> it will be back next week in a different form to allow appropriate action at that time. Number 56 we did discuss with the medical examiner's office. I move that we take the steps necessary to implement an independent process and protocol review in the medical examiner's office, that we designate the coordinator to head that for the Commissioners court and that after he collaborate with dr. Bayardo and other staff members at the office to get the job done.
>> second.
>> the other thing is that we would ask the purchasing department to work with dr. Bayardo to determine what amount of money is necessary and next week we can have an appropriate transfer to cover the cost. Any discussion? All in favor? That passes by unanimous vote. Number 57 involves the question of whether there is a conflict of interest if one of our legislative consultants were to take an assignment that would involve a certain kind of work that Travis County may well get involved in from the opposite perspective. And I think our conclusion was that there be a way for us to work it out if we followed -- if we -- do we have a motion?
>> I have a motion and that is that we place all responsibility for land use development issues with our legislative advocate, bob cann, pursuant to our lobby county and that chris shields be relieved of any such responsibilities on behalf of the county, which would eliminate the appearance of a conflict by specifically excluding it from his work area.
>> any discussion on that motion? All in favor? That passes by unanimous vote.
