THOSE OPPOSED? NO, THAT MOTION CARRIES NEXT UP.

COMMISSIONER

[4. Commissioner Hunt; Discuss/Consider/Approve Resolution appointing Kaufman County representatives to City of Crandall, TIRZ 2 Board.]

TERS TO BOARD.

WELL, AS IT STANDS, USUALLY IS THE COMMISSION ON THE PRECINCT IS USUALLY ONE OF THE MEMBERS OF THE TOWERS.

AND SINCE COMMISSIONER PRECINCT FOUR AND PRECINCT ONE PRETTY MUCH SPLIT CRANDALL, AT LEAST AT THIS TIME, I GUESS I'D LIKE TO SEE IF MR. CASE WOULD WANT TO DO THAT.

IS THERE JUST ONE REP OR IS THERE 2, 2, 2, 2.

SO IT WOULD MAKE A MOTION.

MIKE EMOTION.

I'LL SECOND.

A MOTION THAT, UH, COMMISSIONER HUN AND MYSELF BE APPOINTED AS THE BOARD MEMBERS.

SO WE HAVE A MOTION WITH COMMISSIONER HUNT TO POINT COMMISSIONER HUNT AND COMMISSIONER CAGE TO TERM NUMBER TWO BOARD AND IN CRANDALL, UH, COMMISSIONER KATE'S SECOND THAT DISCUSSION THOSE IN FAVOR, SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.

HAVE JUDGE TOURNEAU COME UP FOR DISCUSSION.

AND NOW WE GET TO

[5. Judge Tarno; Discuss/Consider hiring of two seasonal part-time employees for JP#2 to be funded using JP Court Technology Fund.]

CONSIDER HIRING TWO SEASONAL PART-TIME EMPLOYEES FOR JP TWO TO BE FUNDED USING THE JP COURT TECHNOLOGY FUND.

GOOD TO SEE YOU HERE THIS MORNING.

WE'RE ALWAYS HERE ON TIME.

I KNOW Y'ALL I KNOW Y'ALL ARE, BUT I'M NOT USUALLY HERE, SO IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU GUYS.

ALL RIGHT.

SO I WOULD LIKE TO HIRE, UM, TWO ACTUALLY TEENAGE GIRLS FROM NORTH MORNING HIGH SCHOOL, UM, AGES 16 AND 17

[00:05:01]

TO WORK TWO TO THREE DAYS PER WEEK, UH, APPROXIMATELY 16 TO 24 HOURS FOR THE NEXT TWO MONTHS.

UM, AND SO I CONTACTED THE AUDITOR'S OFFICE.

THEY RAN SOME NUMBERS FOR ME.

UH, THESE ARE STUDENTS, UM, THAT ARE INTERESTED IN THE LEGAL PROFESSION.

THERE IS A CLASS AT NORTH 40 HIGH SCHOOL THAT ACTUALLY CAME IN 2019 AND KIND OF SHADOWED OUR COURT.

THEY WOULD COME IN AND WATCH THE GIRLS AND HELP WITH SOME FILING AND PARTICIPATE IN COURT AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

SO, UM, WE NEED SOME HELP WITH FILING.

IT'S ALWAYS THE NUMBER ONE THING THAT KIND OF GETS PUT TO THE SIDE.

UM, OUR COURT IS EXTREMELY BUSY RIGHT NOW, SO I THOUGHT WE COULD BRING IN A COUPLE OF GIRLS, UM, AND USE THE JP COURT, UH, TECHNOLOGY FUND FOR THAT.

UM, SO I GOT IN CONTACT WITH AUDITOR'S OFFICE.

THEY RAN SOME NUMBERS, UH, SO THEY DID FOR EIGHT WEEKS IN THE SUMMER, WHICH WOULD HAVE INCLUDED THIS WEEK.

HOWEVER, THIS WEEK'S KIND OF COME AND GONE.

SO, UH, FOR SEVEN WEEKS IN THE SUMMER, UM, THEY SAID THAT THE RATE WAS PROBABLY AROUND NINE TO $11 AN HOUR FOR AN A 24 HOURS A WEEK.

UM, AND THAT WAS BASED ON CURRENT PART-TIME EMPLOYEE PAY.

AND THAT WOULD BE A GOOD STARTING PLACE FOR THEM SINCE IT IS HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS.

UM, I'M THINKING THE $9 AN HOUR WOULD BE SUFFICIENT FOR THEM.

UM, IF THEY DID WORK THE 24 HOURS A WEEK, WHICH I'M ANTICIPATING, UM, IT MAY NOT EVEN BE THE WHOLE 24 HOURS, BUT $9 AN HOUR, 24 HOURS A WEEK FOR SEVEN WEEKS WOULD BE A TOTAL OF $1,512.

UM, TIMES TWO EMPLOYEES WOULD BE 3000, $24, AND THAT WOULD BE FOR THE REST OF THIS SUMMER.

UM, FOR FUTURE, THEY RAN THE NUMBERS THAT THEY DID MAYBE EIGHT WEEKS IN THE SUMMER.

THEY CAME DURING CHRISTMAS BREAK OR A FALL OR SPRING BREAK.

AND THEY ANTICIPATED THAT TO BE, UM, AT $9 AN HOUR AT $2,592 PER STUDENT.

SO TIMES TWO, THAT'D BE A TOTAL OF 5,184 IN THE FUTURE.

ALL RIGHT.

SO, UH, AS YOU KNOW, THE JP COURT TECHNOLOGY FUND HAS TO BE APPROVED BY COMMISSIONERS COURT.

SO THAT'S WHY I'M HERE TODAY.

AND SO DURING THE PANDEMIC AND MY OFFICE CLEANED OUT THE VAULT, UH, WE WERE ABLE TO SHREDDER OR 6,000 POUNDS OF PAPERWORK, UH, OLD PAPERWORK, ACCORDING TO THE FILE RETENTION SCHEDULE.

AND SO MY GOAL FOR 2021 IS NOT TO LOSE THE PROGRESS THAT WAS MADE IN 2020 TO MAKE SURE THAT PROBLEM DOESN'T EXIST IN THE FUTURE AND JUST GET IN THERE AND REORGANIZE THE FALL, MAKE SURE THE FILING STAYS UP TO DATE.

UM, AND I THINK THESE STUDENTS WOULD BE INSTRUMENTAL IN HELPING WITH THAT.

I THINK IT'S A GOOD WAY TO KEEP UP WITH THAT EXTRA WORK.

SO, UM, OKAY.

UH, DOES HE WANT TO HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR JOE TORNADO? UM, I THINK THIS IS A GREAT THING TO EXPOSE THE KIDS TO.

YEAH, THEY HAD A GREAT TIME WHEN THEY CAME IN AND SHADOWED, YOU KNOW, IT WAS TRYING TO LOOK FOR A CREATIVE WAY TO, YOU KNOW, GET SOME EXTRA HELP IN THE OFFICE WITHOUT ACTUALLY HAVING TO, YOU KNOW, HIRE SOMEONE AT THIS POINT, YOU KNOW, LIKE A PART-TIME EMPLOYEE.

CAUSE I DON'T THINK, UM, MAYBE WE'RE THERE YET, BUT IT WOULD BE GOOD TO HAVE SOMEONE COME IN AND HELP WITH THAT, THAT EXTRA WORK STAYING AHEAD OF THE DOCUMENT DISTRICT A REALLY BIG DEAL.

YEAH.

AMY, I CERTAINLY ALSO SUPPORT THAT, YOU KNOW, THIS KIND OF THING, PARTICULARLY AS IT PROVIDES US OPPORTUNITY FOR THE STUDENTS, RIGHT.

IS THE TECHNOLOGY FUND, IS THIS PART OF THAT? IT IS.

I, I WASN'T SURE IF YOU WERE, SO I BROUGHT THE CODE HERE JUST IN CASE YOU WEREN'T.

SURE.

SO THEY ACTUALLY CHANGED THE LAW AS SEPTEMBER 1ST, 2019 TO INCLUDE, UH, SPECIFICALLY IN THE FUND TO PROVIDE, UH, FOR THE COST OF PROVIDING COURT PERSONNEL, INCLUDING SALARIES AND BENEFITS FOR COURT PERSONNEL.

IT USED TO JUST BE CALLED THE TECHNOLOGY FUND, ANNOUNCED THE JUSTICE COURT ASSISTANCE AND TECHNOLOGY FUND.

AND SO THEY DID IT TO, UM, FOR THESE TYPE OF THINGS AND ALSO TO HELP FOR, UM, CAUSE YOU USED TO JUST BE ABLE TO USE IT FOR, FOR TECHNOLOGY, BUT NOW WE CAN USE IT FOR ANY AND ALL TRAINING FOR COURT STAFF AND JUDGES AND THESE TYPES OF THINGS AS WELL.

SHREDDING IS TECHNOLOGY RIGHT THERE.

YOU GOTTA HAVE IT RIGHT.

I HAVE A REQUEST OF THE COURT.

YES IT'S OKAY.

WHEN WE DO THE CALCULATION, I'D LIKE TO MOVE THE MONEY FROM THE TECHNOLOGY TO THE GENERAL SO WE CAN SET THE PART-TIME UP IN GENERAL PAYROLL IF THAT'S OKAY.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? UH, IF THERE ARE NO QUESTIONS, IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE, UH, THE HIRING OF THOSE TWO SEASONAL PART-TIME USING THE JP TECHNOLOGY FUND? JUDGE I'LL MAKE THAT MOTION WITH THE CAVEAT THAT, UH, THE, THAT THE SALARY AND BENEFIT MONEY BE MOVED, UH, AS PER THE AUDITOR'S REQUEST.

WE HAVE THAT MOTION FROM COMMISSIONER CATES.

IS THERE A SECOND? OH, SECOND, SECOND.

[6. Chuck Mohnkern; Discuss/Consider final transfer of funds in the amount of $69,735.99, held by Kaufman County for Levee District 6, to the bank account opened by the levee district board.]

[00:10:01]

SO THAT'S OUR REQUEST TO MOVE THE 69,000 7 35 99, THAT WE'RE HOLDING AN AMERICAN NATIONAL BANK OR THE LEVEE DISTRICT SIX TO AN ACCOUNT THAT, UH, THEIR BOARD IS OPEN SINCE THEY'VE REFORMED THEIR BOARD AND ADOPTED BYLAWS AND ADOPTED A RESOLUTION ASKING FOR THE MONEY TO BE TRANSFERRED.

SO IT LOOKS LIKE THEY'VE DONE EVERYTHING THAT, UH, HAD BEEN ASKED OF THEM TO DO.

AND, UH, WE CAN ALL HOPE THAT THIS IS DEAD, DEAD, DEAD, RIGHT.

THAT'S RIGHT.

UM, ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. MANCHA? OKAY.

UM, P OKAY.

UM, I THINK I'M SORRY.

UH, THIS IS, UH, I'M SORRY, I CAN'T READ THE NAME.

UH, PRINCETON PLR LAR PINCHED, AND I WAS CONFUSED.

ROADS THAT ARE NOW PREVENTING OUR VOLUNTEERS FROM BEING ABLE TO COME OUT AND DO WHAT THEY DO THROUGH THEIR OWN HEART AND THROUGH THEIR OWN, WILL WE HAVE ROUTINE SERVICE, UH, THAT DOES COME OUT TO, UM, BRING THE SUPPLIES AND ITEMS THAT WE NEED.

POLARA PINCHED.

AND, UH, WOULD YOU CARE TO COME UP AND ADDRESS THE TWO ISSUES COURT? GOOD MORNING.

GOOD MORNING.

I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF FURRY FRENZY, ANIMAL RESCUE AND WILDLIFE REHAB.

AS SOME OF YOU KNOW, WE RELOCATED TO KAUFMAN COUNTY IN 2008, WE HAVE A APPROXIMATELY 150 ACRES OFF OF COUNTY ROAD.

ONE 13.

WE CURRENTLY HAVE A HERD OF ABOUT 40 HORSES AND EQUINE THAT'S IN OUR CARE.

WE HAVE ABOUT A HUNDRED LARGE BREED DOGS THAT ARE IN OUR CARE.

UH, WE WORK VERY CLOSELY WITH THE CITY OF KAUFFMAN, AS WELL AS WITH THE COUNTY THAT BRINGS US MANY OF THE ANIMALS.

UM, AS I, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE HAVING A NEW PET ADOPTION CENTER THAT HOPEFULLY WILL BE OPENING NEXT YEAR, AND WE'RE VERY HAPPY AND VERY SUPPORTIVE OF THAT.

BUT SINCE THAT TIME, WE'VE BASICALLY BEEN THE ONLY ONE IN TOWN TO BE ABLE TO HELP WITH THIS, UM, ISSUE WITH ANIMALS.

IN ADDITION TO THAT, WE ARE PERMITTED BY THE TEXAS STATE PARKS AND WILDLIFE TO DO WILDLIFE REHAB AND RELEASE.

AND WE CURRENTLY ON ANY GIVEN YEAR, WE WILL, UH, HAVE OVER 200 WILDLIFE ANIMALS THAT COME INTO OUR CARE.

WE MAINLY SPECIALIZE IN MAMMALS.

AND SO WE TAKE IN ALL OF THE BABY FAWNS, ALL OF THE, UH, BEAVERS, THE SKUNKS, THE POSSUMS, THE RACCOONS, WE WORK VERY CLOSELY WITH GAME WARDENS, NOT ONLY WITHIN OUR COUNTIES, BUT WITHIN ALL OF THE COUNTIES, UH, BASICALLY THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF TEXAS.

AND, UM, I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW IMPORTANT IT IS BECAUSE WE ARE AN ALL VOLUNTEER BASED ORGANIZATION.

WE HAVE NO PAID STAFF.

EVERYONE IS COMPLETELY VOLUNTEER BASED.

THE ROADS ON COUNTY ROAD.

ONE 13 IS WHAT HAS PRESENTED A PROBLEM BECAUSE WE HAVE VERY DILAPIDATED AND UN FIXED

[00:20:01]

WE HAD ONE OF THE VEHICLES GET STUCK, UM, AFTER MULTIPLE CALLS AND MULTIPLE CONVERSATIONS OF TRYING TO GET THAT ROAD REPAIRED AND, UM, TAKING CARE OF, AND WE ARE IN DESPERATE NEED OF NOT HAVING IT JUST BE PATCHED, BUT HAVING IT BE HOPEFULLY THE CHIP SEAL THAT'S BEEN DONE ON THE OTHER ROADS THAT HAVE BEEN LEADING UP TO COUNTY ROAD ONE 13, UM, THIS YEAR, THIS PAST YEAR WITH COVID, WE ACTUALLY HAD FOUR TIMES THE NUMBER OF OPTIONS THAT WE HAVE HAD IN THE PAST.

AND WE ADOPT OUT EVERY WEEK, TYPICALLY FROM THREE TO FIVE ANIMALS, AND THAT'S THE LARGE BREED DOGS OR HORSES.

THOSE GET ADOPTED AS, AS YOU KNOW, THE HORSES GET ADOPTED, BUT AS FAR AS THE DOGS GO AND WE HAVE PEOPLE THAT ARE COMING TO KAUFMAN FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME, AND THEY'RE COMING FROM THE DALLAS FORT WORTH AREA, THEY'RE COMING FROM OUT OF STATE.

WE HAD A PRIVATE LIMO TAKE ONE OF OUR ANIMALS TO NEW YORK CITY.

WE HAVE PILOTS THAT COME AND PICK UP DOGS AND TAKE THEM, AND THEY FLY THROUGH THE PAWS FOR PILOTS PROGRAM.

AND IT IS VERY EMBARRASSING WHEN YOU HAVE PEOPLE THAT HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS WONDERFUL CITY AND COUNTY, AND THEY HAVE TO COME DOWN COUNTY ROAD ONE 13 TO BE ABLE TO GET TO THE FURRY FRENZY WELCOME CENTER.

AND IT'S JUST SOMETHING THAT I WOULD LIKE FOR THIS COURT TO BE AWARE OF BECAUSE IT'S SOMETHING THAT IS CERTAINLY NOT LOOKING GOOD UPON THE CITY OF KAUFMAN.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS.

AND I GUESS SINCE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE ANNUAL ROAD REPORT, I, IN MY NOTE, YOU HAVE MY NUMBER, MY CELL PHONE NUMBER, MY OFFICE NUMBER.

WE HAVE OPEN DOOR POLICY FOR YOU TO CALL, BUT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE ROAD REPORT.

SO IS THERE ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE ROAD REPORTS AS FAR AS THE FOOT IS THE TIE AND STUFF LIKE THAT AND THE VALUE THAT WOULD CAUSE TO REPAIR IT? I HAVE NOT SEEN SUCH REPORT.

SO I WOULD NOT KNOW WHETHER TO VALIDATE THAT OR NOT.

THEY'RE POSTED ON THE, UH, THE WEBSITE AND THIS IS THE NEW ONE THAT WE'RE DOING WE'RE APPROVING TODAY.

SO, BUT EVERYTHING YOU THINK EVERYTHING IS OKAY WITH THE ROAD REPORT THAT WE'RE APPROVING TODAY.

AND AS FAR AS THE OTHER STUFF, JUST CONTACT THE OFFICE.

AND I HAVE, I GUESS THAT'S WHY I'M HERE TODAY BECAUSE I HAVE CONTACTED, I HAVE MET YOU IN PERSON.

I HAVE HAD PHONE CALLS.

WE LEFT A FLASH DRIVE WITH FOOTAGE OF THE DIFFERENT VEHICLES AND THE SEVERITY OF THIS SITUATION.

UM, SO, UM, THE ROAD REPORTS.

I DON'T KNOW IF THE ROAD REPORTS OKAY.

I HAVEN'T SEEN THE ROAD.

OKAY, THANKS.

YOU'RE WELCOME COMMISSIONERS.

UM, WE ALSO HAVE, UH, KEITH THOMPSON TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM.

I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT THE COMMENTS NEED TO BE REPRESENTATIVE OF ITEM 14.

IT'S NOT A GENERAL SESSION.

IT IS A DISCUSS CONSIDER APPROVING THE 20 21 22 ANNUAL ROAD REPORT FOR PRECINCT ONE.

SO WE NEED TO BE SURE THAT WE'RE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE OPEN MEETINGS ACT AND STICKING TO THAT AGENDA ITEM.

WE'VE BEEN CONSISTENTLY PRETTY GENEROUS THOUGH, WITH, UH, IF YOU CAN REMEMBER BACK TO THE STATUE, UH, ISSUE THAT WE HAD.

THAT'S OUR SONYA, GO AHEAD, MR. THOMPSON, BUT, BUT THIS IS SPECIFICALLY ADDRESSING THE ROAD REPORT.

THANK YOU, JUDGE.

THANK YOU FOR THE TIME.

I ALSO AM HERE TO TALK ABOUT, UH, THE ROADS IN PRECINCT.

ONE SPECIFICALLY RAN RANCH RUG.

UH, I'VE HAD NUMEROUS CONVERSATIONS WITH, UH, COMMISSIONER HUNT ABOUT THE SEVERITY OF THE ROAD, THE CONDITION.

AND, UM, A FEW WEEKS AGO WE WERE NOTIFIED BY, UH, HOME HEALTH CARE HOME HEALTH SERVICES.

THEY NO LONGER WOULD COME DOWN OUR ROAD DUE TO THE CONDITION OF THE ROAD.

WE HAVE AN 87 YEAR OLD GENTLEMAN THAT LIVES WITH US.

MY WIFE'S DAD WHO HAS TO HAVE MEDICAL CARE DATE UP WEEKLY.

AND SO THEY NOTIFIED US THAT THEY WOULD NOT COME DOWN THE ROAD.

I'VE HAD NUMEROUS DISCUSSIONS WITH MR. HUNT.

THEY HAVE FOUND ABOUT THE CONDITION OF THE ROAD.

AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT DUE TO FUNDS AND AVAILABILITY OF TIME.

HE DID COME OUT, I GUESS, TWO WEEKS AGO AND FILLED A VERY LARGE CREVICE WITH ROCK, UH, THE DIAMETER OF THE ROCKER, OR SOMEWHERE AROUND SIX INCHES.

IT'S VERY ROUGH TO DRIVE HOME AND I CAN NOT GET A REPORT FROM MR. HUNT AS TO WHAT HE PLANS TO DO GOING FORWARD WITH THE CONDITION OF THE ROAD.

UM, THERE'S AN 80 YEAR OLD FEMALE THAT LIVES AT THE ROAD.

[00:25:01]

SHE CAN NOT NAVIGATE IT.

UH, LAST WEEK I SPENT $1,800 REPAIRING ON MY TRUCK DUE TO THE CONDITION OF THE ROAD.

THERE HAD BEEN TWO OTHER MEDICAL PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD IT REPAIRED OR THERE, THERE ARE.

SO I'M ASKING YOU TO CONSIDER SOMETHING TO BE DONE ABOUT RAN RANCH ROAD.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS.

WELL, WE DID, WHENEVER MR. THOMPSON CALLED, WE EXPLAINED TO HIM, WE PUT WE'RE JUST ROCK AND ON THE ROAD WAS GOING TO MAKE A BIG MUD HOLE.

SO WE HAD TO PUT LARGE DIAMETER ROCK IN IT TOO IN THE WATER.

SO WE WOULDN'T MAKE MUD WHERE NOBODY COULD GET IN AND OUT.

AND IT'S ON THE SCHEDULE THIS WEEK, EITHER TOMORROW OR THE NEXT DAY TO BRING ROCK, TO PUT OVER THE TOP OF THE LARGE ROCK.

SO THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT.

AS FAR AS MUST HUNT, THE DITCHES ARE THE PROBLEM.

UH, YOU CAN TOP IT, BUT WITH ANOTHER RAIN, LIKE WE'VE HAD THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS OR THE LAST MONTH OR SO IT'S GOING TO WASH OUT AGAIN.

WE'VE WE HAVE HAD DISCUSSIONS ABOUT YOU.

WE HAD MANY DISCUSSIONS I'M TALKING ABOUT WITH MY PEOPLE AND SORRY WITH MY PEOPLE ABOUT THE DIGITAL AND THE ROAD.

AND I THINK THE OLD TREES AND STUFF I HAD TO BE REMOVED AND STUFF, AND WE JUST NEED TO GET THE EASEMENT SO WE CAN FIND OUT HOW WE CAN GET DITCHES IN THERE TO MAKE A DRAIN.

SO, AND IS THIS ON THE AGENDA TO BE FIXED THIS WEEK? YOU SAY, OKAY.

WITH SOME OF THE SCHEDULE EITHER TOMORROW OR THE NEXT DAY TO BRING ROCK OUT THERE AND PUT UP WITH THE TOP OF THE LARGE ROCK.

AND WHAT ABOUT THE DITCHES FOR THE DRAINAGE? OH, IT WON'T HAPPEN THIS WEEK.

I'M JUST TELLING YOU.

AND I'VE HAD MANY DISCUSSIONS.

DID YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON THE ROAD REPORT? OH, THERE'S THE ROPE BOARD WRONG? NO, SIR.

I'M FINE.

UM, ITEM 15, DEBRA BONNER, I GUESS IS KAREN, UH, DISCUSS, CONSIDER IMPROVING ORDER AMENDING ROTOR POLACK AND MICRO MOTION TO ACCEPT THE ROLE.

[15. Deborah Bonner; Discuss/Consider approving Order Amending Road Report for Precinct 4 to include Memory Court as indicated on the exhibit,]

AND WE'RE ADDING MEMORY COURT TO THE ROAD REPORT.

IT BASICALLY IS, IS A ROAD THAT I BELIEVE HAD A DIFFERENT NAME.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO ELABORATE COMMISSIONER KATE'S? YES, THIS IS JUST A, THIS WAS, UH, AN ACTION THAT ORIGINATED REALLY AS, UH, RELATED TO NINE 11, ADDRESSING THAT AND THE TECHNOLOGY IMPROVEMENTS.

UH, THERE WERE SOME DIS DISPARITY, UH, THAT HAS BEEN LONGSTANDING AND HISTORICAL IN THIS PARTICULAR AREA.

IT'S RIGHT OUT, RIGHT AROUND THE PREY REAL STORE.

IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THAT AREA, UH, WHERE, UH, ONE SECTION OF WHAT IS A MAINTAINED COUNTY ROAD WAS UNNAMED.

UH, A COUPLE OF CONFLICTING NAMES, UH, EXISTED, UM, THAT I GUESS WERE REALLY ASSOCIATED WITH HISTORICAL ADDRESSES.

SO THIS IS JUST AN ACTION TO FINALLY ONCE AND FOR ALL CLEAR UP THE, THE, UH, APPROPRIATE AND ACCURATE NINE 11 ADDRESSING SYSTEM.

AND ALSO TO ENSURE THAT THE ROADS ARE NAMED AND IDENTIFIED PROPERLY, BOTH PHYSICALLY AS WELL AS ON OUR COUNTY ROAD REPORT.

SO QUESTIONS AND, AND, UH, BY THE WAY, COUNCIL HAS DONE AN EXCELLENT JOB.

THEY THEY'VE REALLY SPEARHEADED THE, THE TECHNICALITIES OF THIS ACTION AND HAVE CONTACTED THE LAND OWNERS AND THE PROPERTY OWNERS OUT THERE.

SO, SO THIS WAS ALL WELL THOUGHT THROUGH AND THAT BEING THE CASE, I'D MAKE A MOTION THAT WE, UM, THAT WE MOVE FORWARD AND APPROVE THE ORDER, AMENDING THE ROAD REPORT TO PRECINCT FOUR, TO INCLUDE MEMORY COURT AS INDICATED ON THE EXHIBIT THAT CAME WITH YOUR PACKET.

AND THOSE INADEQUACIES ARE ALL ABSOLUTELY DIRECTLY TIED TO RESOURCES.

UH, 15 A ROAD CREW OF 15 TO 17 MEN, UH, WITH THE ADDED, UH, POPULATION AND TRAFFIC COUNTS JUST IS, IT'S BECOMING COMPLETELY UNWORKABLE.

AND, UH, THERE'S NO QUESTION THAT DURING THIS BUDGET CYCLE, I'M GOING TO HIGHLIGHT THE NEED TO DO SOMETHING, UM, TO ENHANCE, UH, FOR SURE MY PRECINCT, BUT I HAVE A FEELING THAT IT'S A ACROSS THE BOARD.

WELL, I'LL AGREE WITH EVERYTHING YOU'RE SAYING ABOUT OUR MANPOWER, TRYING TO GET STUFF DONE, BUT YOU KNOW, DATING WITH SITUATIONS LIKE WHAT TODAY WAS, I HAD TO PULL PEOPLE WHEN YOU HAVE A PLAN, YOU TRY TO FOLLOW YOUR PLAN WITH YOUR PEOPLE, AND THEN YOU HAVE TO PULL

[00:35:01]

THEM OFF ANOTHER ROAD.

THE, JUST AS BAD AS THAT ROAD TO GO PACIFY THE LOUDEST BARKER TO DO SOMETHING, THEN YOU GO BACK AND YOU'RE TRYING TO WORK IT IN.

SO EVEN WITH MORE MEN, IT'S HARD TO STAY WITH A PLAN, YOU KNOW, BUT, BUT WE DO NEED MORE RESOURCES.

I DON'T AGREE WITH THAT.

I DON'T KNOW HOW WE CAN DO THAT, BUT W I DIDN'T MEAN I, WASN'T MAKING A CRITICISM OF, OF HOW YOU MANAGE YOUR ROAD AND BRIDGE.

WASN'T MY FAULT.

NOW I'M REALLY SAYING IT'S THE STAFFING AND STUFF.

WE CAN DO MORE, BUT EVEN WITH MORE STAFFING, YOU'RE STILL GONNA HAVE TO DEAL WITH THESE KINDS OF PROBLEMS LIKE THIS TOO.

SO, YEAH, NO, I MEAN, THERE'S ALWAYS, YOU KNOW, THERE'S ALWAYS EXIGENCIES OF OPERATIONS.

THERE'S NO DOUBT ABOUT IT, BUT YOU CAN'T EVEN REALLY PLAN, AT LEAST IN MY PRECINCT WITH THE, THE NUMBER OF MILES, THE CONDITIONS OF THE ROAD, WHICH REALLY ESSENTIALLY DETERIORATE EVERY YEAR.

UH, YOU SAID YOU CAN'T EVEN MAKE A GOOD PLAN TO BE ABLE TO STICK WITH IT WITH, UH, IN PARTICULAR, THE AMOUNT OF MANPOWER I HAVE.

IT'S JUST NOT, IT'S JUST NOT WORKABLE, YOU KNOW, THE GROWTH OF THE COUNTY NECESSITATES THE GROWTH OF THE SERVICE AVAILABILITY.

AND I JUST DON'T THINK WE HAVE KEPT UP WITH THAT.

AND I THINK WE NEED TO FOCUS ON, UH, ON, ON THAT, BECAUSE ROADS TOUCH EVERYTHING AND EVERYBODY IN THIS COUNTY.

YEAH.

BUT, YOU KNOW, I, I DO THINK THE OTHER TWO REALLY, WE DO HAVE TO HAVE A SERIOUS CONVERSATION WAS KEN'S BRINGING UP, BUT I THINK THE OTHER TWO VOICES NEED TO BE HARD AGREE.

UH, WE WEREN'T IN IT JUST TO BE CLEAR THAT WE WEREN'T GOING TO GO INTO ANY KIND OF DETAIL TODAY.

WE'RE JUST GOING TO SORT OF, WELL, IT'S LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE.

IT STARTS OUT WITH THE LITTLE THING, AND THEN IT'S FINE.

AND THEN IT GROWS AND TAKES DIFFERENT TRAVEL AVENUES.

AND THEN WE'VE DONE SOMETHING.

AND WELL, WE HAVE, UH, WE HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TO BE DONE GOOD, BUT, AND I THINK WE'D BE A MENTAL GERRY.

I MEAN, I KNOW WE WOULD, IF WE NEED TO ADD, YOU KNOW, UH, AN EXTRA SESSION FOR THE COURT OR SOMETHING, WE CAN CERTAINLY DO THAT.

SO WHAT YOU SEE ARE REALLY THERE.

THEY'RE ALL, TUESDAY'S THE DAY SESSION AND THE 9TH OF JULY HERE.

SO IF THE COURT TO ADD AN EXTRA BUDGET WORKSHOP, YOU COULD MOVE IT.

YOU CAN LEAVE ONE IN THERE DEPENDING ON THE PACE THAT WE'RE MAKING.

UM, SO THE FIRST THREE WERE DESIGNED TO REALLY SET THE CRITERIA, THEN START DIVING IN.

I HAVE ABOUT 60% OF THE WORKSHEETS HAVE BEEN TURNED BACK IN.

SO HAVING TILL THE 9TH OF JULY TO GET THE REST OF THOSE WORKSHEETS BACK THERE, MOST PEOPLE ARE MATERIALLY INTERIORLY WORKING IN THERE AND WORKING ON NOW THE 27TH IS AN IMPORTANT DATE TO MEET OUR CALENDAR.

UM, SO THE 27TH IS WHEN YOU WOULD, YOU WOULD SET THE ELECTED OFFICIALS, PROPOSED SALARIES.

YOU WOULD SET THE PROPOSED TAX RATE, YOU SET THE PROPOSED BUDGET.

SO YOU STAY WITHIN YOUR CADENCE OF, UH, FOLLOWING THEM ON THE 30TH OF JULY.

BASED UPON HISTORICAL.

WE PROCEEDED SINCE THEN WE WOULD COME BACK AND, AND, AND THEN SET THE PUBLIC HEARING DATE ON THE 3RD OF AUGUST.

AND THEN YOU HAVE A TIME PERIOD THAT YOU HAVE TO WAIT, THEN YOU COME BACK AND THEN YOU ADOPT THE BUDGET AND THE TAX RATE FOR PROPOSING TO GET THAT REPORT ON THE 17TH OF AUGUST.

SO THAT 17TH OF AUGUST, IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, I THINK YOU HAVE TO HAVE A MAJORITY QUORUM IN ORDER TO ADOPT THE BUDGET.

SO THAT'D BE A DAY THAT WOULD BE IMPORTANT.

I THINK, I THINK THAT THE PROPOSED IS NOT ONLY ADOPTED.

YOU HAVE TO HAVE A MAJORITY QUORUM.

SO THAT WOULD BE A DATE THAT LOOK ON YOUR CALENDAR TO MAKE SURE THAT WORKS.

IF IT DOESN'T, THEN WE WOULD NEED TO, TO MAKE ARRANGEMENTS WITH THE COURT.

WAS ANYONE CARE TO MAKE A MOTION TO ADJOURN OUR MEETING I'LL MAKE THAT MOTION YET.

[22. Adjourn Regular Meeting.]

WE HAVE MOTION TO ADJOURN.

YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A MOTION TO ADJOURN FROM MITCH COMMISSIONER.

KATE'S ON THE SECOND FROM, I GUESS IT HAS TO BE ME.

WILL I CAN DO IT, BUT IF YOU WANT TO, I'LL LET YOU DO IT.

COMMISSIONER HUNT.

SECOND, THOSE IN FAVOR, SIGNIFY BY SAYING, AYE.

THOSE OPPOSED.

NO MOTION CARRIES.
