The Commissioners' Court of Brazos County, Texas held a Public Hearing at the Brazos
County Administration Building in Bryan, Brazos County, Texas, at 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday,
August 26, 2014, with the following members of the Court present:
Duane Peters, County Judge, Presiding;
Lloyd Wassermann, Commissioner of Precinct 1;
Sammy Catalena, Commissioner of Precinct 2;
Kenny Mallard, Commissioner of Precinct 3;
Irma Cauley, Commissioner of Precinct 4;
Karen McQueen, County Clerk.
Attached is a list of the citizens and officials in attendance.
The purpose of the hearing is to hear commentary on the proposed budget for fiscal year
ending September 30, 2015.
The County Judge called the meeting to order at 10:57 a.m. and invited others to speak.
Marc Hamlin, District Clerk asked that the regular temporary position that was removed
from his budget, Class Code 1713, Position 3, Group 7, Step 2, be restored. The
County Judge removed it and added one new full time position. Mr. Hamlin said he
needed both.
Vol. 207 Pg. ZZZ-
Chris Kirk, Sheriff requested two (2) patrol positions. He asked that the Court consider
giving him at least one (1). The vehicle he was going to turn in can be returned and
used for the new position. This would relieve the Environmental Deputy.
Animal Control was funded a single cab truck instead of the needed extended cab truck.
The Compliance Officer is a top priority. That position and the Quarter Master were not
funded.
The Work Crew vans (2) need to be replaced.
Isaac Butler, Constable Precinct 4 said he needs a new position to serve JP Truancy.
This just came to his attention or he would have requested it in budget hearings. The
County Judge pointed out that once he is on the 4th floor, he will no longer be scanning
people for security and that in turn will free up that position. Constable Butler did not
agree saying that there will be more to deal with when they move into the
Courthouse. Their duties have increased since adding deputies. He feels that Precinct
4 isn't always treated right.
Commissioner Cauley addressed the frustration that Precinct 4 is not given the same
consideration as other offices.
Irene Jett, Budget Officer asked that any requests that elected officials and /or court
members have, be submitted in writing by no later than Thursday at noon so that
amendments can be made along with budget calculations.
The County Judge then announced the dates for the Public Hearing on the tax rate and
adopting the budget.
