June 9, 2009,
Executive Session

View captioned video.

Ms.
porter, I think that brings to us executive session where we have one item.
since we postponed number 27.

>> and one lawyer.

>> 26, receive briefing from retained outside counsel and take appropriate action regarding cause number d-1-gn-09-0005000, j.
adan balesteros versus Travis County Texas and bob vann in the 250th district court of Travis County Texas and that will be under the consultation with attorney exception to the open meetings act.
we'll discuss this one item in executive session but will return to court before taking any action.


>> > we have returned from executive session where we discussed item 26, the lawsuit by j.
ballesteros versus Travis County and bob vann.

>> I move that we pursue a meeting between mr.
vann and his counsel and myself and Commissioner Huber and the county's counsel to listen -- as a listening team, essentially, to fully understand his complaint.

>> mr.
ballesteros's complaint.

>> correct.

>> discussion?

>> the motion?

>> thank you.
all in favor?
that passes by unanimous vote.
that we direct appropriate staff to increase the legal fees ceiling to $50,000.

>> second.

>> so we'll add an additional $25,000.
discussion?
all in favor?
that passes by unanimous vote.
and there is no further action for the Commissioners court today.
so I move approval -- I move adjournment.

>> second.

>> all in favor?
that passes by unanimous vote.
no corporations.
we're done.
