Executive Session Items
That bring goes us to -- brings us to executive session, y'all. We previously announced that we would take up 20 d, how to finance the construction project applicable legal restrictions under the consultation with attorney exception to the open meetings act. To get legal advice, then we announced we were asked to pull item 36, that leaves 3. Including 33. 33. Receive briefing from the county attorney concerning pending condemnation actions for the hudson bend road realignment project in cause #2526 robinson & mclaren and cause # 2527 garden ridge quality closeouts, inc. And consider settlement proposal from condemnees' attorney and take appropriate action that's the consultation with attorney and real property exceptions to the open meetings act. 34. Receive briefing and take appropriate action regarding ongoing litigation in the congressional redistricting matter. That's the consultation with attorney exception to the open meetings act. 35. Consider and take appropriate action regarding salary for executive manager of health and human services. That's the personnel matters exception to the open meetings act. We will discuss these four items in executive session, but will return to open court before taking any action.
we have returned from executive session, where we discussed the following
items: 21-d. We did get legal advice there. Any action necessary today? We
will have a committee charged and appointed real soon. An issue related to
this will be part of what we asked them to assist us with. Is that okay? Number
33, involving the hudson bend road alignment project. Move that we authorize
settlement of both of these causes for the amount of $35,000.
>> I second.
>> discussion? All in favor? That passes by unanimous vote.
Number 34, we did get the briefing on that one. Let's just authorize the attorney
to keep on working on this matter. Next week we'll find out whether we need
to modify the existing contract, and how much we need to supplement the current
authorization and the source of funding. Have we been taking that from risk
management fund?
>> [inaudible - no mic]. ... It came from allocated reserve
and it was transfer that -- [overlapping speakers].
>> i'll go back and look through my notes again.
>> kind of early. It may not hurt us to take it from allocated
reserve, but risk management seems an obvious source of funding.
>> I’m almost positive it came from allocated reserve. I'll
do the research on that and bring it back to you.
>> it's $10,000?
>> and basically we need to get a contract modification to
the prior contract, which would extend the contract at least six months to
one year. I don't know what number needs to be plugged in. Any new not to
exceed.
>> that's kind of what it says now. Should we have this back
on next week then? It should be routine.
>> okay.
>> at purchasing.
>> that's 1102, isn't it? 35 regarding the salary for the
executive manager of health and human services. Move that we authorize that
compensation be set at $85,000 annually for this executive manager, effective
October 1 of 2004. One reason for that is that the county judge asked that
that be delayed until we landed on a salary. There was some question about
whether she would be red-lined in a position or rolled into the base in a
new one. It has the four percent rolled into the base, factored in already.
And also that authorization/permission be given to continue to work as needed
as a temporary employee of counseling and education services. That hourly
compensation is eight.
>> second.
>> discussion? All in favor? That passes by unanimous vote.
And according to my records, that's all we need to do today for the voting
session of the Commissioners court. All in favor? That passes by unanimous
vote. Now let's go back to the agenda and call to order the Travis County
health facilities facilities development corporation, capital industrial development
corporation, capital health facilities development crption. We have one item
here, to approve payment to Travis County for accounting and administrative
services and take appropriate action. The backup for the Travis County housing
finance corporation set out the variousments, and we already approved the
67 plus thousand for the Travis County housing finance. For Travis County
health facilities development corporation it will be $16,948..58. Capital
industrial development corporation, it will be $2,369.62. And for the capital
health facilities development corporation, it will be $804.75. And I move
approval of those amounts to cover county administrative services for those
three corporations.
>> second.
>> all in favor? That passes by unanimous vote.
>> move to adjourn.
>> second.
>> for the record, Commissioner Davis absent. All in favor
favor? That passes by unanimous vote also. We are out of here. Thank you very
much.
