The Commissioners Court met in Workshop Session to
•
discuss the following topics:
a. Discussion of courthouse remodeling to provide an
office and courtroom for the magistrate. The County
Judge asked the Director of Building Maintenance,
Carlos Guitron, for his suggestions. Those were to
move the Magistrate into the County Court at Law #2
courtroom, County Court at Law #2 courtroom to the
District Clerk's file room and Jury Services to the
County Court at Law #2 jury room. Mr. Guitron has
spoken with all involved and they seem to be
pleased with the plan. Computer wiring concerns
would have to be addressed by the Information
Technology Department. Mr. Guitron then produced
an estimate submitted by Orion Construction for
just the new courtroom alone. All concerned
thought the estimate was excessively high and that
the work could probably be done for less than the
$165,000.00 quoted.

b. Proposed Capital Asset Guide. The County Auditor
outlined the proposed asset guide indicating there
would be a new reporting model for the recording of
fixed assets and suggested that a higher figure
than $5,000.00 be used for capitalization. He also
recommended the county use straight line
depreciation on the assets. As for Infrastructure
Assets, he said he needed to know what approach
would be taken for capitalization and depreciation,
whether it be the standard approach or the modified
approach.
There being no further commentary, the County Judge ended
the Workshop session.
