On Thursday, February 12, 2004, at 1:00 p.m., an emergency
meeting of the Kerr County Commissioners Court was held in the
Commissioners' Courtroom, Kerr County Courthouse, Kerrville,
Texas, and the following proceedings were had in open court:
P R O C E E D I N G S
JUDGE TINLEY: Let me call to order the
special emergency Commissioners Court meeting that was
posted for this date. The item on the agenda is
consideration and discussion of authorization of signature
on all documents for employee health insurance. The -- I
think the immediate thing before us is an application for
stop loss insurance that's been presented from Monumental
Life Insurance Company. I see that we've got the Treasurer,
who's also our employee benefits officer here with us today.
Ms. Nemec, are you satisfied that the -- the application
that is before the Court at this time conforms to the -- the
proposal that was submitted by E.B.A. and Bryan Finley
Insurance, and upon which the award was made?
MS. NEMEC: Yes, sir. And I think Tommy
investigated that a little bit further and gave us a copy of
his response to it, also.
JUDGE TINLEY: Okay.
MS. NEMEC: I have the original application
here.
JUDGE TINLEY: Okay. But you're satisfied it

conforms?
MS. NEMEC: Yes, sir.
JUDGE TINLEY: Okay.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: I make a motion that we
authorize the County Judge to sign the application.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: Second.
JUDGE TINLEY: Motion made and seconded that
the Judge -- County Judge be authorized to sign the
application for excess loss insurance to Monumental Life
Insurance Company as presented and confirmed by the
Treasurer. Any further question or discussion?
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: One question.
JUDGE TINLEY: Yes, sir?
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: Is that the only
document that remains unsigned?
JUDGE TINLEY: As far as I know, it is. I'm
not sure.
MS. NEMEC: There'll -- this will probably be
followed by a -- a contract that would need to be signed.
This is just the application. And I believe maybe, once
they receive this, then there will be a contract that will
need to be signed.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: Do we need to amend
the motion to include the subsequent contract?
COMMISSIONER NICHOLSON: Might as well.

COMMISSIONER LETZ: Yes.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: Let's do so.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: I amend my motion
accordingly.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: I'll accept that
amendment.
JUDGE TINLEY: All right. Any further
question or discussion?
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN: Comment, Judge. I've
seen a lot of things in here that -- that befuddle my mind,
but the one today is why the County Attorney is not raving
mad that we haven't signed our insurance and why we're not
pursuing our insurance program until today. I mean, where's
the anger? Where's the outrage? That's all.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: I guess we'll have to
ask him.
JUDGE TINLEY: Anything further? All in
favor of the motion, signify by raising your right hand.
(The motion carried by unanimous vote.)
JUDGE TINLEY: All opposed, same sign.
(No response.)
JUDGE TINLEY: Motion does carry. Let me
make real sure that what I've got here is -- I don't want
half of mine mixed up with this, you know, which is what I'm
trying to avoid. These are different pages. There's Cobalt

and Monumental here. See? That's the same as that one.
COMMISSIONER LETZ: Right.
JUDGE TINLEY: I think this one goes there.
I think that's what goes there. But apparently I'm missing
one page. Here's a Cobalt stop loss quote, but -- okay, I
think we got it. Anything else to come before the meeting?
If not, we'll stand adjourned. Thank you, gentlemen.
