“Right. And sometimes I think like the County engineer say that the whole country Hyatt, I say that the whole country Hyatt, because by the time you drive back and forth, if you have weather, if there's early morning events, late night events, You can run to your room to get some work done as opposed to driving. So I think that 35 miles is arbitrary. And then on the rate, it's not always possible to get the rate because sometimes these conferences just don't get enough of the room block. And sometimes, like the legislative conference, I'm not even sure there was a rate on that one.”

“And that's generally true, except Hill Country Hyatt was one. I think it would be a good idea just to put all this on hold and try to address that manual while we're looking at changes and do a little bit more comprehensive review than just a onesie-twosie.”

“I think a good point's been brought up. We can look at that policy, that travel policy holistic, and we don't have to do it in five years. I think we could do it soon.”

And today we're simply going to look at a process for hiring this person, and I recommend that we have a committee. Is that right?”

“I'd be happy to, Judge, but I have one more question. Sure. And then would we want the top three candidates to come to Commissioner's Court for an interview? What are your thoughts on that?”

“Okay, I'm good with that. So, therefore, Judge, I move to approve a committee to interview applicants and select the top three candidates for the grants management and compliance direct position who will be interviewed by Commissioner's Court with the committee to be made up of the following. Nicole Bishop, and this is in no particular order, Commissioner Chapman, Commissioner Wieschen, Mary Ellen Schooley, Sheriff Auger, Lieutenant Lerner, Donna Scharf, Joe Reisig, and Juanita Schemo. Did I get everyone?”

“I thought that one had been pulled. Didn't Corinna say that we had to allocate the budget and go into budget year before that could be approved? Maybe I'm not remembering. So it's pulled?”

“If there were a medical director that covered City of Bernie, I think Archangels covers Bergheim and Sisterdale, that there would have been some sort of savings to all entities, including the county.

“So I think going forward, I think this court needs to set the process of who's going to be on the committee and how we do it. Because I could not find anything in statute that said who's going to be on a committee, who picks a committee. And so I think the court needs some input into this.”
