Travis County Commissioners Court

July 3, 2012 - Item 21
Agenda

>> 21 is to draw names from the grand jury pool for elected officials salary grievance committee for 2012 as required by section 152.0150 of the local government code.

>> What a beautiful hat.

>> Thank you, dana debouvier, Travis County clerk.
Thank you for reading the citation for me.
The way we have done this in the past, if it's all right with you, each of you takes a turn picking a name.
We need 13 members on the committee and we usually pick a few extra names so in case somebody can't serve then we don't have to come back to you to ask for more.
If it's all right with you, I'll ask you to draw the names.
Otherwise we were just figuring out that this hat is now in its 10th year and what do you think, maybe it's time to get a new hat.

>> Should we each select four so you will have a sufficient number of names?

>> Okay.
Do we start reading them out?
Commissioner Eckhardt.
You don't mind if we let precinct 2 Commissioner be first, do you?

>> Sound like a great idea.

>> My name, bill reed.
Sorry, bill.

I wondered why that was there.

Is that enough?

>> I think so.

>> Well --

July 3, 2012: Travis County Launches New Video Playback System

Our new streaming video system uses a single video clip for each session and items are linked to specific locations on that clip. Some browsers and mobile devices do not recognize the location information and display the entire clip. If this happens the "start time" will help you find your item's video within the larger clip.

If you encounter playback issues check out our video playback help page. If you still encounter problems let us know.

On July 3rd, 2012, Travis County began leveraging free resources by posting Commissioners Court meetings on Youtube. Previously every video clip was edited separately and hosted on the county's video server. The old system also required RealPlayer to view the video clips.

The new systems save time and resources -- and that saves taxpayer dollars!
