Emotions were running high between members of the Hays County Commissioners Court during its recent regular meeting Tuesday.
The consent item issue on the agenda that generated a lengthy discussion between Hays County Commissioners Court Judge Ruben Becerra and Commissioner-Pct. 4 Walt Smith concerned various aspects of the county’s need to choose a well-qualified law firm with experience dealing with a history of delinquent tax collections programs in Texas, as well as identifying key individuals to help choose the firm.
Hays County Tax Assessor Jennifer O’Kane identified the following people for the evaluation committee responsible for choosing the firm: O’Kane, Hays County Budget Officer Vickie Dorsett, Hays County General Counsel Mark Kennedy, city of San Marcos Mayor Jane Hughson and city of Kyle Mayor Travis Mitchell.
