Kerr County Judge/Commissioners' Court From: "John Letz" To: "Thea Sovil" Sent: Wednesday, February 18, 2004 7:20 AM Subject: Agenda Item Receive, consider and discuss report and status of civil attomey hired by County Attomey to pursue health insurance claim and determine reporting schedule and clarify who the civil attorney reports to. Backup: This issue has been of high interest to the Commissioner's Court for several months. I beleive we need a report from the County Attorney on the current status and determine the following issues. 1. Who is the attomey ? 2. The County Attorney acted in this matter as the Commissioner's Court civil attorney. Civil matters fall under the authority of the Commissioner's Court not the County Attorney office. For this reason a clear line of authority needs to be clarified. 3. The Commissioner's Court needs regular briefings on this matter. A schedule as to how and by who this will take place needs to be established. 2/18/2004
