Travis County Commissioners Court
April 3, 2007
Item 12
Number 12 is to consider and take appropriate action on the assignment and assumption of sweetwater contracts, sweetwater subdivision in precinct three. Generally this would have been recommended for consent, but sweetwater in the past has generated some discussions, so I thought we may as well call item separately at this time. Any staff comments on 12?
>> it's just -- I have an assignment and assumption agreement for sweetwater Austin properties to take over the -- all of the agreements from for city sweetwater. And I have new letters of credit to replace the old letters of credit. The new one are from sweetwater Austin properties. Nothing from the previously approved agreements has changed. And that's all.
>> that's why I move approval.
>> second.
>> discussion? Tom, anything we need to hear about? All in favor? That passes by unanimous vote with Commissioner Davis temporarily off indict as. Thank you very much. Thank you for your patience also. Let's call up the legislative item. And that is number 31, which is to consider and take appropriate action on certain legislative issues and proposed bills before the 80th Texas legislature, including the following: a, house bill 3447 relating to the authority of certain counties to regulate land development. B, house bill 1, general appropriations. C, house bill 2365, relating to financial accounting and reporting for this state and political subdivisions of this state and other legislative issues relating to tax and revenue caps. D, senate bill 1107 relating to the powers of certain hospital districts and to the retirement benefits of employees of the districts and related entities authorizing the issuance of anticipation notes and the imposition of taxes. And 31-e is discussion of other bills and legislative issues as necessary. Morning.
>> good morning, judge, Commissioners. We have two brief reports to make. We can do them at the there's --
>> we have two brief reports to make. We can make them now or make them at the end of the time period. I know we have people from the hospital district and staff folks, so it's up to you, whatever your pleasure.
>> let's hear the reports. Does one of them involve the need for one of us to go over this afternoon?
>> yes. That's just the request.
>> can we deal with that? What bill is that?
>> it's the misdemeanor citation bill, the bill that was brought to you by the sheriff's department.
>> 2391 and 3059.
>> we have jim sylvester has agreed to appear as a witness on behalf of the sheriff's department, but I think the author of the bill had requested a Commissioner or judge.
>> has any member of the court been working --
>> on the misdemeanor citation.
>> I've been working some on the citation along with several other bills and how they interface.
>> would you like to go over this afternoon?
>> I will be be happy to.
>> I would assume when the house resources-- it's the house?
>> that's correct.
>> we will have 20 to 30 minute advance notice of when they will be in committee at least?
>> yes.
>> so somebody will lep let us know. I guess call Commissioner Eckhardt's staff and that you will be able to give a little bit of advanced notice and an opportunity to go over there. Any problem with that? I guess we'll need the rest of us here working on county business, but that's pretty important, so if we can help out, that would be fine.
