the presence of the Court. Those members of the public who are inappropriately attired and /or who do not conduct themselves

continued disruption of the meeting may result in a Contempt of Court Citation.
It is not the intention of the Brazos County Commissioners Court to provide a public forum for the demeaning of any individual

prior to the meeting. During the public comment period, speakers may address matters not listed on the published agenda. The
Open Meeting Law does not expressly prohibit responses to public comments by the Commissioners Court. However,
responses from the County Judge or Commissioners to unlisted public comment topics could become deliberation on a matter
without notice to the public. To ensure the public has notice of all matters the Commissioners Court will consider, the County
Judge and /or Commissioners may choose not to respond to public comments, except to correct factual inaccuracies, recite
existing policy in response to an inquiry or to ask that a matter be listed on a future agenda. See Texas Open Meetings Act ?

the OPEB cost for the off year as a percentage of covered payroll and will walk forward the Net

alternative discount rates, alternative healthcare trend rates, benefit capitations,.changes in retiree
cost sharing, and possibly changes in eligibility requirements. The cost for this Options study will
