Good afternoon Court members,

With regards to Item #23 on Tuesday's agenda-Consider and Take Appropriate Action on Changes to At-Will Just Cause Section of Chapter 109-Commissioner Travillion is proposing an additional option for the Court to consider. This option, which will herein be referred to as Option 3, will include the following two Categories:
1) Hires made by Commissioners Court or the County Judge (as reflected in both attachments 1 and 2 of the backup); and
