Notice is hereby given that a Special meeting of the governing body of the above named City will be held on the 22nd day of August 2016 at 5:30 pm. at the City Hall, 456 Jacob Street, Timpson, Texas, at which time the following subjects will be considered, to-wit:  

 

 

1. Discuss and take action:  The Council will discuss sending a 60 day written

                    notice to McCreary, Veselka, Bragg & Allen P.C. (MVBA) to terminate the

                    contract to collect past due fines and fees for the Municipal Court.  During the 

                    February 16th Council meeting, Mayor Pro Tem Wolfe and Councilmembers

                    Grace and Baker voted to hire MVBA over the firm of Linebarger & Goggan to

                    collect the past due accounts of the Court.  To date, MVBA has made no significant 

                    effort to begin the collection process and has shown very little interest in the

                    City’s collection needs. To our knowledge no case files have been transferred for 

                    collection. 

 

2. Discuss and take action:  The Council will discuss to amend the previous

Ordinance to hire Linbarger & Goggan to collect fines and fees of the Municipal

Court.  

 

3. Discuss and take action:  The Council will discuss entering into a contract

to immediately start Municipal Court collections with Linbarger & Goggan.
