That's the executive manager of justice and public safety. And that's July 3rd of 2007. We did not announce or discuss item 29. Item 30, the matter involving the parcel 12 for the howard lane east roadway improvement project. I move that reject the counter offer of $150,000 and make a final offer of the appraised value.
>> second.
>> discussion? All in favor? That passes by unanimous vote. Number 31 involves the snowden family trust property that is offered in the total acreage of 53.944 for the balcones canyonland preserves -- plan, move that we approve the proposed purchase contract and that we approve a lease agreement through August 31st in the amount of $800. That we authorize joe gieselman to sign the appropriate legal documents at closing.

>> discussion? All in favor? That passes by unanimous vote. This morning we discussed number 33 a and b. We need the appropriate persons here, we will have it back on the court's agenda July 10th in two weeks. 32 a and b which involves the star flight holiday and on call services compensation. 33 we did discuss. Any action required today? Just keep working with the owner and --
>> agent.

Hopefully get as much work done for an appropriate agreement and disposition for July 3rd. Any other action required today? Okay. 35 the matter involving jennifer mall did a in addition do, maldanodo, move that we reject the offer to settle from her attorney. Discussion? All in favor? That passes by unanimous vote. Number 36 is the matter regarding the charge of arlene tillman that went to mediation in early may or June, I move that we reject the offer to settle which we received from her attorney. Discussion? All in favor? That passes by unanimous vote. And -- and in my view that does it for today. Next week we will have on the agenda the matter involving our current contract by the medical examiner's office because it is uniquely worded. We have planned to sell that property and use the proceeds for the purchase price of a new one. We made several commitments in our negotiations with brackenridge and the city of Austin to acquire the use of that property and so -- so that's kin of a different contract. That's all of it for today.
>> move adjourn.
>> second.
>> all in favor? That passes unanimously.
