that if the Special Magistrates do not file reports with the Clerk within 20 days after the hearing,
the Board may elect to refuse to pay all or part of the fee for that case. Commissioner Davis
wanted to see some type of punitive language included in the contract, and Chairman O'Bryan
wanted some type of penalty for late delivery. Attorney Collins said the contracts would be
amended.
ON MOTION by Board Member Davis, SECONDED
by Vice Chairman Wheeler, the Board unanimously
authorized County Attorney Collins to execute the
Special Magistrates contracts, with amendments, for
