supplement or a step increase. Commissioner Sims moved to

by Commissioner Sims, seconded by Commissioner Thornton, the
Court voted unanimously to table consideration.
The Court proceeded to consider the appointment of a
replacement for the Judge of County Court at Law #2.

appoint a candidate running for the position. Judge Davis,
most recent Judge of County Court at Law #2, told the Court

Judge until the Court makes an appointment. He does not
feel any cases he judges will be overturned. Steve Smith,
Judge 361" District Court stated that he thinks it's a bad
decision to have 3 separate judges in one year. Commissioner
Sims said that he would like to appoint someone after
January 3, 2000 which is the filing deadline. Commissioner
