Travis County Commissioners Court
Tuesday, March 8, 2011,
Executive Session
That would leave the full discussion of 34 a and b until next week if that plan is followed.
and to be honest, in order for us to do them justice, we should give ourselves time to discuss them.
but if c would be those questions, the r.f.p., public-private partnership legal stuff, and a 1 would be basically our consideration of the contract with ugl equis corporation and whether or not to modify it.
is there agreement on that?
what I would would do is announce 34 a and a 1 in executive session.
then go to 35 and pick it up, this is the only executive session item left that involves leases that the newly acquired real estate on guadalupe.
does that make sense?
>> on c, who is going to ask those questions of the -- of the -- I guess the solicitors?
>> well, in executive session it will be lawyers and the question really is legally about where to go next.
>> okay.
>> where the Commissioners court will go next.
>> right.
where the county will go.
>> okay.
>> sort of like process.
>> okay.
>> so those three really pertain to the newly acquired real estate.
34 c, a 1 and also 35.
and after that, we would really discuss the grievance or hear the grievance.
any objection to that?
my guess is that will take us probably 15 to 20 minutes.
is that all right?
okay, 34 c, we're not announcing a and b, 34 c is consider and take appropriate action regarding the downtown lot at third and guadalupe.
c, approve questions to solicit responses to facilitate preparation and evaluation of specific requirement for a request for proposal for a public-private partnership on the property.
and we indicate that it may be taken into executive session.
35, consider and take appropriate action regarding the parking lease and other possible leases for the county owned lot at third and guadalupe.
consultation with attorney and real propose exceptions.
and a 1, receive legal briefing and take appropriate action on ugl equis and that will be under the consultation with attorney exception.
we'll discuss those three items, actually part of 34 and the other two, in executive session and will return to open court before taking any action and we will announce that grievance when we come back to open court.
>> we have returned from executive session where way discussed the items we announced.
beginning a 1, matter involving the contract with uglequ circumstance corporation, I move we ask purposing to get with legal specifically cyd grimes and john hilly, and meet with mr. Zimmerman, the local representative of the corporation, and try to come up with appropriate terms and conditions for contract modification and have that back on the court's agenda preferably next Tuesday.
keith, thin we can get that done in a week?
>> we'll work with that.
>> let's say a week.
if it looks like on Friday we need more time, let me know.
will that motion get it?
seconded by Commissioner Davis.
discussion?
all in favor.
that passes by unanimous vote.
we also discussed 34 c, involving preparation and evaluation of specific proposal for a public private partnership.
we gave staff direction.
we will have this matter back on the agenda next week for further discussion and action.
next week we will also have a and b posted.
if there's more specific language desired, if somebody will get it to me, I'll be to include I otherwise we will have a, b, c, as currently worded back on the court's agenda.
in my view no further action required on that matter today.
we discussed 35, the matter involving the block of land that the county purchased at 3rd and good --guadalupe and gave staff directions, it will require further action, license agreement or contract, one with the museum and other with the farmers market.
we may as well go ahead and authorize putting together an appropriate rfp to deal with the parking contract.
>> second.
>> second ed by Commissioner Davis.
as appropriate we will put those on the agenda, act on them all at once or sec separately.
discussion in all in favor.
that passes by unanimous vote.
But 40 is to conduct hearing and take appropriate action on appeal from December 2, 2010, Travis County grievance panel decision.
maria galvan versus facilities management department pursuant to Travis County code section 9.257 k, and this is under consultation with attorney and personnel matters exceptions to open meetings act.
we do discuss these typically in executive session where we tried to come as close as possible to conducting a grievance hearing.
so unless there's objection or request otherwise, we will do that today.
so at 3:34 we'll convene in executive session for this last item.
by the way, we will return to open court before taking any action.
>> we have returned from executive session where we discussed the only item that we announced that round.
that was the appeal from the December 2, 2010, grievance panel decision in maria galvan versus facilities management department.
>> I move that, based on the record including the panel's hearing and additional evidence provided, that counsel seek appropriate, although not at all (inaudible)
>> second motion?

Commissioner Davis abstaining.

>> move adjourn.
>> second?
