UH, IT'S ALWAYS GOOD TO COME BEFORE THE COMMISSIONERS AND SAY REALLY NICE THINGS.

BUT WHEN I SAY THIS, I REALLY DO MEAN IT.

UH, THE ADDITION OF KAUFMAN COUNTY WAS VERY STRATEGIC FOR THE RMA FOR SEVERAL DIFFERENT REASONS, PRIMARILY BECAUSE IT PUTS OUR TERRITORY, UH, BUDDING, UH, THE DALLAS DISTRICT.

AND, UH, SO THAT PUTS US IN THE POSITION WE FELT LIKE BACK THEN IT PUT THAT PUT US IN A BETTER POSITION TO BE ABLE TO WORK ON TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS OUTSIDE OF JUST THAT ORIGINAL CORE AREA OF, UH, SMITH AND GREGG COUNTY.

NEXT ITEM, ITEM FOUR APPROVED

[4. Judge Richards; Approve setting salaries, expenses and other allowances of all elected county and precinct officers.]

THIS IS OF COURSE A STATUTORY REQUIREMENT AND, UM, UH, WE WON'T GO THROUGH, THERE'S NO SENSE IN GOING THROUGH ALL THAT, BUT I WILL READ THE HEADER OF THE LEGAL NOTICE THAT'S THAT WAS POSTED, UH, ONLINE AND POSTED IN THE PAPER NOTICES HERE.

SO WE HAVE, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT ITEM FOUR, IF NOT, IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE SETTING SALARIES, EXPENSES AND OTHER ALLOWANCES FOR ALL ELECTED COUNTY AND PRECINCT OFFICERS AS PRESENTED? I'LL MAKE A MOTION WHERE THAT MOTION OF COMMISSIONER BARBARA, IS THERE A SECOND, SECOND, SECOND COMMISSIONER CAGE DISCUSSION THOSE IN FAVOR, SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.

WE HAVE THAT MOTION FROM COMMISSIONER PHILLIPS.

I APPROVE IT.

UH I'S COUNTY JUDGE VOTE.

ALSO THAT MOTION CARRIES ITEM SEVEN.

[7. John Polster; Discuss/Consider approval of the Supplemental Agreement #3 for the US 80 Intersection Improvements Project between Kaufman County and Othon, Inc. in the amount of $58,239.00.]

OH, THERE HE IS.

RIGHT THERE HAPPENED TO MISS YOU JOHN.

OH, THAT'S IT.

HE TOOK HIS HAT OFF.

JOHN POLLSTER DISCUSS CONSIDER APPROVAL OF THE SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT.

NUMBER THREE FOR USA.

THE INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT BETWEEN COFFIN COUNTY AND OATH ON INC IN THE AMOUNT OF $58,239.

GOOD MORNING.

GOOD MORNING, JOHN POLSTER, INNOVATIVE TRANSPORTATION SOLUTIONS.

SO ACTUALLY THIS IS A GOOD NEWS, UH, SITUATION, OUR ORIGINAL, UH, SCOPE AND FEE WITH OATH ON ASSUMED THAT WE'D BE DOING THE INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS AT 2 0 5, 1 48 AND 80 BUILDING THAT INTERSECTION OUT.

AND THEN SOME POINT IN FUTURE, THE ULTIMATE 2 0 5 WOULD COME IN AND TIE INTO WHAT WE'RE DOING AT THE SOUTH.

BUT TEXTILE HAS TOLD US THEY BELIEVE THAT THE 2 0 5 ULTIMATE IMPROVEMENTS FROM WILEY AND COLIN COUNTY, WHICH THEY'RE BUILDING INTO ROCKWALL, THEY'VE GOTTEN NOW ROCKWALL FUNDED BETWEEN JOHN KING AND JOHN KING WAS JUST LEADS THE SOUTH SECTION FROM JOHN KING TWO 80.

SO THEY'VE ASKED US TO MODIFY THE DESIGN TO INCLUDE A TRANSITION INTO THE ULTIMATE CONFIGURATION OF 2 0 5 SOUTH, AS OPPOSED TO THE CURRENT CONDITIONS.

SO THIS IS A SUPPLEMENTAL TO PICK UP THAT ADDITIONAL DESIGN SERVICES TO PICK UP THE DESIGN FOR THE FUTURE OF 2 0 5 WILL NEEDED IMPROVEMENTS.

UH, ANY QUESTIONS FOR JOHN? OKAY.

THEN, UH, WE'LL BE LOOKING FOR A MOTION TO APPROVE THE SUPPLEMENT AGREEMENT.

NUMBER THREE FOR USA USAID INTERSECTION AND THE AMOUNT OF $58,239.

IS THERE A MOTION WHERE THE MOTION COMMISSIONER BARBARA, IS THERE A SECOND, SECOND COMMISSIONER HUNT DISCUSSION THOSE IN FAVOR, SIGNIFY BY SAYING, AYE, THOSE OPPOSED NO MOTION CARRIES AUTOMATE

[8. John Polster; Discuss/Consider approval of the ROW Advanced Funding Agreement for the FM 1641 Project between Kaufman County and TxDOT in the amount of $629,835.40.]

SO THIS IS A RIGHT-AWAY AGREEMENT THAT WHEN YOU ALL WERE EXECUTED IN THE PAST WITH TXDOT ON THE, ON YOUR FM PROJECTS, IT'S A 10% LOCAL MATCH, WHICH MEANS THE STATE'S IN FOR 6.8 OR SOME CHANGE, AND IT'S A FIXED, UH, FIXED CONTRACT.

SO WHEN WE COMMIT TO THAT DOLLAR AMOUNT, THEY ESTIMATED WE EXECUTE THE AGREEMENT.

WE PAY OUR 10%, IF IT ENDS UP BEING MORE THAN THAT, TEXTILE COVERS THE DIFFERENCE.

THE REASON WE ARGUED FOR THAT FOR A LONG TIME IS BACK IN THE DAY, TXDOT HAS A NOTORIOUS TENDENCY TO TAKE ABOUT FIVE TO SIX YEARS TO CLOSE OUT A PROJECT AFTER IT'S DONE.

AND THEN THEY WOULD SEND THESE COUNTIES BILLS FOR TWO OR $3,000 FOR A PROJECT THAT'S ALREADY OPENED TO TRAFFIC.

[00:15:01]

SO WE NEGOTIATED FIXED FEE CONTRACT.

SO ALL YOUR RATTLING AND AGREEMENTS ARE ESTIMATE, BUT FIXED AT WHATEVER THE 10% IS.

WE PROPOSE AT THE FRONT OF THE PROJECT.

DID THEIR ESTIMATES VARY A LOT TYPICALLY? YES.

UH, NO, THERE, THESE GUYS ARE PRETTY GOOD AT WHAT THEY DO.

I MEAN, SOMETIMES YOU RUN INTO A, UH, A PARCEL OR AN ISSUE THAT YOU DIDN'T SEE OR A LANDOWNER THAT'S HIRES A PARTICULARLY NASTY ATTORNEY.

YEP.

SORRY FOR JOHN.

IF, UH, NO QUESTIONS.

IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE RIGHT AWAY ADVANCED FUNDING AGREEMENT FOR 1641 IN THE AMOUNT OF $629,835 AND 40 CENTS? WELL, OF COURSE, I'M GOING TO MAKE THAT MOTION BECAUSE THIS IS GOING TO HELP OUR PRECINCT QUITE A BIT LINKED TO LIKE WE HAD A MOTION FOR APPROVAL FROM, UH, COMMISSIONER PHILLIPS.

IS THERE A SECOND, SECOND FROM THE HUNT DISCUSSION DISCUSSION? I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT THAT AT THE LAST MINUTE WE WORKED WITH SOME OF THE COMMUNITIES ALONG THE CORRIDOR, THERE WAS A SECTION OF THE ROAD THAT IMPACTED A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF HOMES ACROSS THE STREET WAS A VACANT PROPERTY WITH A UTILITY, A SIGNIFICANT LARGE UTILITY LINE ON IT.

WE WORKED WITH THAT.

THEY AGREED TO READ THAT THE ALIGNMENT OF THE ROAD TO TAKE IT OFF THE RESIDENTS PUT IT ON THE OTHER PROPERTY WAS AN INCREASE IN THE IMPACT ON THE UTILITY, BUT IT DECREASED THE NUMBER OF RESIDENTS IMPACTED AND SKEET BROUGHT THAT TO OUR ATTENTION AND WE WERE ABLE TO MAKE THAT WORK.

OKAY.

WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND IS, UH, ANY OTHER DISCUSSION, THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING, AYE, THOSE OPPOSED NO MOTION CARRIES.

AND AGAIN,

[9. John Polster; Discuss/Consider approval of the ROW Advanced Funding Agreement for the FM 548 Project between Kaufman County and TxDOT in the amount of $12,178.60.]

GOOD.

THIS 10% IS A LOT SMALLER.

IT'S A SMALLER SECTION OF ROAD.

GO FIGURE ANY QUESTIONS FOR JOHN.

YEAH.

UH, IF THERE ARE NO QUESTIONS, IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE RIGHT OF WAY ADVANCED FUNDING AGREEMENT ON FM 48 FOR 12,000 1 78 60? I'LL MAKE THAT MOTION.

WE HAVE A MOTION COMMISSIONER PHILLIPS.

IS THERE A SECOND, SECOND, SECOND FORUM.

I'LL MAKE SURE IN KATE'S DISCUSSION THOSE IN FAVOR, SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.

THOSE OPPOSED NO MOTION CARRIES.

UM, SO JOHN AND RUTLAND

[10. John Polster / Raylan Smith; Discuss and consider approval to negotiate contract terms and pricing, as ranked by Evaluation Committee, for RFQ 21-20: Engineering Design Services - Transportation Bond Program On-Systems Projects]

GOOD MORNING.

GOOD MORNING.

UM, SO WE DID PUT TOGETHER, UM, AN EVALUATION COMMITTEE THAT MET ON WEDNESDAY, AUGUST THE 18TH.

WHAT YOU HAVE IN YOUR PACKET IS, UM, TWO ENGINEERING FIRMS FOR EACH PROJECT.

AND WE'RE JUST ASKING FOR PERMISSION FOR JOHN POLLSTER TO BEGIN CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS QUESTIONS.

IF THERE ARE NO QUESTIONS FOR RAELYNN OR JOHN, UH, IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE, UH, APPROVE GIVING THEM APPROVAL TO NEGOTIATE CONTRACT TERMS AND PRICING, UH, FOR RFQ 2120, I'LL MAKE THAT MOTION.

WE HAD A MOTION COMMISSIONER PHILLIPS.

IS THERE A SECOND, SECOND SEGMENT COMMISSIONER BARBER DISCUSSION THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING, AYE.

AYE.

THOSE OPPOSED NO MOTION CARRIES ITEM

[11. Raylan Smith; Discuss/Consider approval of Authorization of Additional Services for the Thoroughfare Plan Administration Agreement between Kaufman County and Freese & Nichols in the amount of $7,000.00.]

HI, THIS IS THE, UH, TASK ORDER AUTHORIZATION FOR FRIESEN NICHOLS.

UM, WE ARE ASKING THAT THERE BE SOME FINAL DETERMINATION WITH HELM STRAIL BASED UPON THE NEW DEVELOPMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN FILED, THE NEW PLATS THAT HAVE INVOLVED IN THE AREA.

UM, AS YOU RECALL, DANNA BALM IS OUR ENGINEERING FIRM.

WHO'S WORKING ON THIS PROJECT.

AND SO THEY'RE GOING TO NEED THE THOROUGHFARE PLAN UPDATED TO CONTINUE THEIR ENGINEERING SCOPE.

SO IT'S, UH, WE'RE CHASING FEDERAL DOLLARS AS YOU KNOW, ON THIS PROJECT.

SO WE'RE FOLLOWING FEDERAL GUIDELINES AND THE FEDERAL GUIDELINES REQUIRE THAT THE SCHEMATIC MAX AND COUNTIES AND CITIES THERFORE PLANS.

AND SO THE CITY'S THOROUGHFARE PLAN SHOWS HOLMSTROM.

LIKE WE TALKED ABOUT IT, I DON'T KNOW, ABOUT SIX MONTHS AGO.

I THINK THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME I GOT IN TROUBLE HERE WITH YOU GUYS WAS SPENDING SOME MONEY WITHOUT PERMISSION, BUT

[00:20:02]

SO WE JUST NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT BEFORE WE GO AHEAD AND SET THAT WE COME BACK TO EVERYBODY AND LET YOU KNOW WHERE WE'RE MOVING FORWARD WITH IT.

AND THE REASON WE'RE MOVING FORWARD WITH IT IS THE SCHEMATIC HAS TO MATCH THE THOROUGHFARE PLAN.

BUT QUESTIONS FOR JOHN OR RAYLAN, IF NOT, IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE ADDITIONAL SERVICES FOR THE THOROUGHFARE PLAN TO FREESE AND NICHOLS IN THE AMOUNT OF $7,000? I'LL MAKE THAT MOTION COMMISSIONER PHILLIPS.

IS THERE A SECOND, SECOND COMMISSIONER HUNT DISCUSSION THOSE IN FAVOR, SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE, THOSE OPPOSED? NO.

ON OTHER THIRD PLAYER ISSUES, THERE WILL BE A COUPLE OTHER THINGS COMING BEFORE YOU IN THE NEAR TERM ON OTHER AREAS THAT ARE NEEDING TO BE CHANGED.

THINGS ARE CHANGING.

THINGS ARE CHANGING.

THANK YOU, SIR.

MY NAME ON HERE.

OKAY.

ALL RIGHT.

MOVING ON TO ITEM

[12. Danny Perez - Raylan Smith; Discuss and consider real estate contracts for county-owned property and approval of County marketing brochures.]

DID WE VOTE ON THAT? WE DID VOTE ON IT.

YEP.

OKAY.

MOVING ON TO ITEM 12.

UH, RAELYNN IS GOING TO INTRODUCE DANNY PEREZ TO DISCUSSING CONSIDER REAL ESTATE CONTRACTS FOR COUNTY OWNED PROPERTY AND APPROVAL OF COUNTY MARKETING BROCHURES.

DANNY PEREZ IS HERE WITH M AND D COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE.

UM, BASED ON SOME PRIOR CONVERSATIONS THAT WE'VE HAD, UH, HE'S PUT TOGETHER, UM, CONTRACTS FOR AVAILABLE BUILDINGS WITHIN THE COUNTY, AND THEN ALSO SOME MARKETING PIECES OR SOME OF OUR LARGER PROPERTIES.

HERE ARE ALL THE LISTING AGREEMENTS.

SO LAUREN HERE, BUDDY.

GOOD MORNING.

GOT THIS.

LET ME PLUG IT UP REAL QUICK.

IT'S QUITE A BIT TO GO OVER.

I'LL GO OVER REALLY QUICK WITH YOU GUYS SO YOU CAN, SO WE HAVE PUT TOGETHER, IS THERE ANY WAY TO GET THIS ON THE SCREEN AUTOMATED THAT COURT? DANG.

IT'S COMING, COMING BACK.

HOW'S THAT? WE'RE LIVE.

THERE WE GO.

THANK YOU, SIR.

OKAY.

OKAY.

SO THERE IT GOES.

NOW IT'S SHOWN ON MY COMPUTER SCREEN.

SO THIS IS JUST A QUICK SUMMARY OF MARKETING, WHAT WE DO WITH THE DEDICATED WEBSITE FOR EACH LISTING, EMAIL MARKETING, SOCIAL MEDIA BROCHURES, AND, UM, SIGNAGE.

UM, AND THEN A TIMELINE, BUT THIS IS WHAT WE'VE PUT TOGETHER.

SO THIS IS JUST KIND OF A SUMMARY OF ALL THE FLYERS THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE PUTTING TOGETHER.

BUT THE MAJORITY OF IT IS THAT SOUTH CORRIDOR ENTRANCE, UM, WHERE WE HAVE 10 S 10 PROPERTIES TOTAL, WHERE YOU CAN SEE AT THE BOTTOM LEFT, THERE IS THE HIGHWAY 34 AND WASHINGTON STREET STREET INTERSECTION.

YOU HAVE THE HARD CORNER OF WASHINGTON AND HOW 8 34 ON THE NORTH SIDE THERE IN THE SOUTH SIDE.

UM, ONE THING I WILL NOTE IS THE SOUTH SIDE IS IN THE FLOOD, PLAIN, A HUNDRED PERCENT FLOOD PLAIN AT THIS TIME.

UM, SO IT DOES AFFECT THE VALUE AND BEING ABLE TO SELL THAT.

UM, AND THEN WHAT WE'VE DONE IS WE'VE RIGHTLY AND I HAVEN'T RUN THIS BY YOU YET, BUT WE TOOK THE HARD CORNER OVER PROBABLY THE MOST VALUABLE PIECE OF LAND THAT WE HAVE, OR THAT YOU GUYS HAVE IT ACROSS FROM THE HIGH SCHOOL ACROSS FROM, YOU KNOW, SONIC MAIN RETAIL AREA THERE.

AND WE'VE DIVIDED THAT EIGHT ACRES THAT WE ORIGINALLY HAD PUT TOGETHER INTO THREE DIFFERENT TRACKS WHERE WE'LL SELL THE HARD CORNER, WHICH IS GOING TO BE YOUR MOST VALUABLE PIECE, UM, ON THE CORNER THERE THAN 2.8 ACRES GIVEN FRONTAGE ON WASHINGTON, FOUR ACRES GIVEN FRONTAGE ON HOUSTON ACROSS FROM THE HIGH SCHOOL.

AND THEN WE HAVE THE, UM, NOW THE 3001 TO 3003 WASHINGTON, THE SIX ACRES CARVED OUT FOR THAT PROPERTY.

AND THEN YOU CAN SEE BACK IN THE BACK, BUT HERE, WHAT WE'RE DOING IS WE'RE OBVIOUSLY JUST TRYING TO PULL IN AND SHOW THE RETAIL MAXIMIZE WHERE THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED ON THIS FLYER.

UM, WE HAVE

[00:25:01]

SO THE WAY WE'LL DO THIS IS IT'LL BE AN OFFERING WITH 10 PROPERTIES AND THEN INDIVIDUALLY WE WILL MARKET EACH LISTING AND SOMEBODY MAY BE INTERESTED IN AT ALL.

SOMEBODY MAY NOT, UM, MOST LIKELY IT'LL INDIVIDUALLY ALL SELL OFF DEPENDING ON TWO DIFFERENT INVESTORS THAT MAY BE INTERESTED IN THE LAND AND BUILDINGS.

UM, THEN ANOTHER OVERVIEW OF THE OFFERING, JUST KIND OF GIVEN AN IDEA OF WHERE EVERYTHING IS LOCATED AND FROM A BIGGER PERSPECTIVE, UM, THEN DRILLING DOWN ON THE BUILDINGS.

SO YOU HAVE 1 0 6 WEST GROVE, UH, AT 224,900.

SO ORIGINALLY WE, OUR BPO WAS LOWER THAN THIS.

UH, GO HERE.

I DO THAT ON PURPOSE.

OKAY.

OKAY.

ORIGINAL WEST GROVE BPO WAS AT 165,000.

UH, YOU GUYS HAD A, AN APPRAISAL COME IN, WE'VE SOLD SOME BUILDINGS, ACTUALLY US, OUR FIRM HAS, AND WE'VE GOT SOME NEW COPS IN.

AND SO WE'VE BUMPED THE ASK AND VALUE TO 2 24 9 A 1 0 8 NORTH WASHINGTON TO 2 49 FROM 180 7 AND THEN 2 0 5 SOUTH JACKSON, 2 45, UM, FROM 2 22.

AND SO TO GET BACK TO PRESENTATION, JUST MARKETING MATERIAL, UM, YEAH, SORRY, BOUNCING BACK AND FORTH HERE BACK TO, YOU CAN SEE HOW WE WILL HAVE A FLYER THAT WILL BE ALL OF THE BUILDINGS AS A PACKAGE IN DOWNTOWN.

AND THEN WE'LL INDIVIDUALLY HAVE A FLYER FOR EACH ONE OF THESE BUILDINGS, BUT IT'LL BE SIMILAR TO THIS, OR JUST BE CARVED OUT OF THIS OVERVIEW PICTURE OF ALL THE BUILDINGS I'M SHOWING THE LOCATION OF TOWN.

UM, NEXT THIS IS THE LAND AND 3001 TO 3003, UM, TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE BETTER PICTURE, CLOSER UP SHOWING IN LOCATION TO EVERYTHING ELSE.

AS FAR AS THE MARKETING PIECE, THE, THE VISUAL, UM, 3001 TO 3003, MARKING IT, MARKETING IT AT 750,000.

THAT WAS THE ORIGINAL BPO PRICE THAT WE HAD ESTIMATED VERY DIFFICULT.

PROPERTY'S GOING TO BE A VERY UNIQUE BUYER FOR THAT PROPERTY, AS YOU GUYS KNOW.

UM, AND THEN WE HAVE THE HARD CORNER THAT IS THAT $4 PER SQUARE FOOT.

UH, AND I'LL TELL YOU, YOU KNOW, THERE'S NOTHING IN KAUFMAN COUNTY THAT SUBSTANTIATES THAT PRICE, UM, AT $4 A SQUARE FOOT THAT IS SOLD RECENTLY.

UM, BUT JUST KNOWING AND SELLING A LOT OF LAND THAT WE DO AS A FIRM, HARD CORNERS IN THIS TYPE OF TRAFFIC COUNTS WITH THIS CLOSE RETAIL HIGH SCHOOL, UH, REALLY FEEL, WE NEED TO BE AT A MINIMUM ASKING $4 A SQUARE FOOT AND JUST SEE WHAT THE MARKET SAYS FROM THERE.

UM, FROM A ANALYSIS YOU, YOU'RE GONNA ON A HARD CORNER, GET UP TO $8 A SQUARE FOOT IN SOME LOCATIONS.

UM, AND SO THAT'S JUST TO KIND OF GIVE YOU A PERSPECTIVE, YES, WE'RE ASKING MORE FOR WHAT WE'VE SEEN LAND SELL FOR IN THIS AREA.

UM, BUT I FEEL LIKE IT'S, IT'S WORTH PUSHING IT A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN WHAT WE ORIGINALLY PUT TOGETHER ON A BPO.

SO BY BREAKING THAT UP, OF COURSE, WE WILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE REPLANTING PROCESS OF THE CITY AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

UM, HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET SOME HELP THERE WITH YOU GUYS.

UM, BUT WHERE YOU GOT TWO ACRES THERE, FOUR ACRES IN FRONT OF THE HIGH SCHOOL AND THREE ACRES ALMOST WITH A TOTAL AMOUNT BEING, YOU KNOW, RUN AROUND 1 6, 1 0.6 MILLION, UM, IF WE CAN GET ANYWHERE CLOSE TO THAT.

AND SO THAT'S WHAT WE WOULD SHOOT FOR ON THAT LAND.

AND THAT'S HOW WE WOULD MARKET.

OBVIOUSLY THE FULL FLYER IS GOING TO JUST BE DIFFERENT ANGLES SHOWING ALL THE WAY AROUND THIS, JUST SO YOU KNOW, RAY LYNN AND YOU GUYS CAN SEE GET A VISUAL OF WHAT'S GOING ON HERE.

UM, THIS IS JUST A CLOSEUP.

AND THEN HERE WE HAVE THE 4.62 ACRES,

[00:30:01]

AND THEN WE HAVE THE 12, NEARLY 12 ACRES RIGHT THERE UP AGAINST WHAT THE DEVELOPMENT THAT'S APPROVED.

UM, AND, UH, SO WHAT THE, THE 12 ACRES IS IT LISTED AT A MILLION AT $2 A SQUARE FOOT? UM, TO BE HONEST, THERE'S NOTHING THAT'S SOLD FOR $2 A SQUARE FOOT, BUT THE COMING IN, UM, UH, IN THIS AREA AT LEAST, UH, COMING IN WITH APPROVAL AND THIS WE'RE JUST KIND OF BEEFING IT UP, GONNA BE GOING TO THEM, THEY'RE INTERESTED IN BUYING IT.

AND, UM, I THINK, I THINK THE VALUE IS THERE WITH THIS DEVELOPMENT COMING.

SO, UM, YOU'VE GOT A MILLION DOLLARS THERE THAT WE WOULD BE ASKING THE CORNER OF THE 4.6 ACRES.

IT'S 185,000.

IT'S GOING TO TAKE A LOT OF DIRT WORK TO GET THAT TO WHERE IT COULD BE DEVELOPED AT SOME POINT.

UM, AND THEN WE HAVE THE 12 ACRES, WHICH IS AT THE BOTTOM RIGHT THERE, UM, OUT IN THE ETJ THAT WILL BE GOOD FOR A LOT OF INDUSTRIAL OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT AT $240,000.

UM, ONE OF THE QUESTIONS I HAD WAS, UM, IT'S AS HE IS, BUT THERE'S A LOT OF MATERIAL OUT THERE, WALLS, CONCRETE WALLS.

ARE THOSE ITEMS GOING TO BE MOVED OR IS THAT GOING TO BE SOMETHING ON THE BUYER? I THINK IT'S IN COMMISSIONER.

BARBARA'S PRECINCT.

YEAH.

I THINK IT'S AS IS, AS IS.

OKAY.

I THINK THERE MIGHT BE SOME OF THOSE CONCRETE BARRIERS THAT, YOU KNOW, IF WE GOT AS WE APPROACH SALE, THAT WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO MAYBE USE, MAKE SOME USE OUT OF SOME OF THEM, BUT I WOULD SAY THAT, UH, THAT'D BE NOT THE ENTIRE QUANTITY THAT'S OUT THERE.

YEAH.

OKAY.

OKAY.

THAT'S HELPFUL.

SO THAT'S, THIS GIVES THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF TEXAS DALLAS KAUFMAN COUNTY.

THIS IS WHAT WILL BE IN EACH FLYER.

UM, SHOWING KAUFMAN COUNTY HE'S GROWN 40% SINCE 2010, THIRD GRADE, FASTEST GROWING COUNTY IN THE US.

UM, 12.3% JOB GROWTH, 205,000 MEDIAN NET WORTH ALL THESE THINGS INVESTORS NEED TO KNOW.

AND THIS IS JUST KIND OF ANOTHER CHART OF THE SAME INFORMATION FOR THEM TO VIEW, UM, ON DEMOGRAPHICS AND THIS AS WELL, A BUBBLE CHART, UM, AND HERE DOWNTOWN KAUFMAN OVERVIEW, THIS WOULD BE PART OF THAT PACKAGE SHOWING ALL THE BUSINESSES IN THE AREA.

UM, AND THEN EACH ONE WOULD BE MARKETED VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT YOU'VE SEEN WITH ALL THE BUILDINGS AND THEN THIS OVERVIEW, AND THEN EACH, EACH BUILDING'S GOING TO HAVE ITS OWN PACKAGE, BUT IT'D ALL BE TOGETHER TOO AS WELL.

UM, REPEAT THERE, YOU'VE ALREADY SEEN THAT DEMOGRAPHICS, DEMOGRAPHICS.

OKAY.

THIS IS AN OVERVIEW OF KIND OF THE LAND AND THERE'S A DEVELOPMENT ACROSS THE STREET FROM 3001 TO 3003.

THAT'S BEING PROPOSED, UH, SINGLE FAMILY.

AND THAT'S PULLING THAT IN, UM, IN A DESCRIPTION, UM, SHOWING ALL THE GREAT RETAILERS THAT ARE ALL AROUND THIS LAND.

UM, AGAIN, SAME THING HERE PULLS IN THE DEVELOPMENT.

THAT'S ALREADY BEEN APPROVED WITH THE SPORTS COMPLEX OFFICE, MIXED USE TOWN HOMES.

AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO SHOW WHERE THAT'S AT IN RELATION TO THE TWO TRACKS THERE.

SO WE SHOWED THAT IT'S BUTTED RIGHT UP AGAINST IT, AND WE'VE DRAWN IN KIND OF THEIR PLAN THAT THEY HAVE APPROVED.

UM, SO THERE'S LOTS OF DIFFERENT MAPS AND ANGLES THAT WE'RE GOING TO GO IN AND MARKET JUST TO SHOW, MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY'S GETTING THE FULL PICTURE OF THE VALUE OF THIS LINK, BECAUSE A LOT OF THE VALUE OF THIS LAND IS FUTURE USE.

IT'S NOT RIGHT NOW TODAY.

SO WE GET A RE REALLY PAINT A PICTURE ON THE THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN APPROVED.

UM, AND THEN THIS IS THE TERRIBLE PROPERTY THAT, UM, UH, KIND OF GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF HOW WE'LL MARKET IT SHOW IN THE 12 ACRES.

AND I WILL TELL YOU, I EXPECT TO GET A LOT OF ATTENTION ON THIS PROPERTY BECAUSE OF THE LOCATION OF IT.

AND THERE'S A LOT OF, UM, PEOPLE LOOKING FOR LIGHT INDUSTRIAL USE.

I KNOW I COULD SELL THIS TODAY.

I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING THIS TO MARKET AND SEEING, SEEING THEM, SEEING WHAT WE GET A BID UP TO.

AND THAT'S WHAT I REALLY BELIEVE WAS GOING TO HAPPEN ON THIS ONE.

UM, JUST BECAUSE NOBODY HAS ANY IN PLACE TO DO ANY OUTSIDE STORAGE THINGS.

[00:35:01]

SO, UM, AND WITH LAND CONSTRUCTION COMPANIES, ET CETERA, AND WE ALL KNOW HOW CONSTRUCTION'S GROWING IN THE AREA, AGAIN, JUST A MARKET SUMMARY SHOWING THIS, THIS IS A, A FIVE MILE RADIUS AROUND THAT PROPERTY, JUST SHOWING ALL THE DEMOGRAPHICS.

AND THAT'S PRETTY MUCH IT, YOU KNOW, THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF THE SIGNS THAT WE'LL PUT AROUND.

ONE OF THE QUESTIONS I HAD WAS ON THE BUILDINGS IN TOWN.

WE'D LIKE TO PUT SOMETHING IN THE WINDOW, UM, IF THAT'S OKAY.

OKAY.

AND, AND THEN THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF THE SIGNS THAT'LL GO UP AROUND EVERYWHERE.

SO THERE'S GOING TO BE SEVERAL OF THEM GOING UP AROUND.

SO IF Y'ALL ARE APPROVE OF THIS, THAT'S ALL HAPPENED.

AND THEN I HAVE A LISTING AGREEMENT HERE.

RAYLAN THAT IS, THERE'S NOT SO THERE'S 10 TOTAL LISTINGS THAT WE'VE PULLED OUT WITH BREAKING UP THE LAND, BUT THERE'S ONLY ONE TO FIVE LISTING AGREEMENTS BECAUSE WE'VE OUTLINED IN SPECIAL PROVISIONS EACH LISTINGS AND THE LISTING PRICE SO THAT YOU CAN, UM, UNDERSTAND WHAT EACH AGREEMENT COVERS, UM, FOR THE LISTING AGREEMENTS.

SO, SO, BUT ALL WE'RE DOING TODAY IS, UH, JUST APPROVING THE MARKETING BROCHURES, RIGHT? YES, SIR.

YEAH.

AND I THINK LISTING AGREEMENTS TOO, RIGHT? YES.

PERMISSION, UM, TO MOVE FORWARD WITH LISTING THESE PROPERTIES.

OKAY.

[14. Raylan Smith; Discuss and consider permission to solicit RFP 21-24 and award of contract for RFP 21- 07: Annual Contract for Automotive Light Truck Repair, Maintenance Parts & Services, Public Safety Vehicle Decommission Services.]

WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO IS ASK FOR PERMISSION TO GO AHEAD AND APPROVE FRED'S MUFFLER AND AUTOMOTIVE.

THEY DID PARTICIPATE IN THE RFP.

I'M RUNNING INTO OTHER VENDORS WHO DON'T NECESSARILY FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS OF THE RFP.

SO WE DID HAVE TO REJECT TWO MORE.

UM, WHAT I WILL HAVE TO DO IS GET WITH THE DEPARTMENTS AGAIN ABOUT GOING TO THESE COMPANIES AND MAKING SURE THAT THEY'RE PARTICIPATING IN THE RFP PROCESS.

UM, WE ARE OVER, WE ARE GETTING CLOSE EVERY YEAR WITH OUR VENDORS, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE LOOK AT, YOU KNOW, INSURANCE REPAIRS, MINOR VEHICLE REPAIRS.

UM, AND SO WE'VE GOT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE COVERED UNDER CONTRACT.

AND THE KEY TO THIS IS TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR VENDORS UNDERSTAND FOR US TO CONTINUE TO USE YOUR SHOP SERVICES.

YOU HAVE TO HAVE A CONTRACT WITH THE COUNTY JUST SIMPLY.

SO WE'RE COVERED REALLY THE SAME SITUATION WE RAN INTO WITH THE BUILDING MAINTENANCE CONTRACTS.

IT JUST TOOK A LITTLE WHILE FOR THEM TO FIGURE OUT THAT THEY NEEDED TO WHAT THEY WOULD NEED TO DO TO PUT, YES, THIS IS HOW WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DO THINGS.

SO, UM, WE'LL JUST,

[00:40:01]

AND WHAT IS THE, SAY THE NAME OF THE VENDOR AGAIN, THAT YOU FOUND FRED'S MUFFLER AND AUTOMOTIVE.

OKAY.

RAYLAN, WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 2124 AND 21 0 7 21 0 7.

WE WOULD AWARD TO FRED'S MUFFLER AND AUTOMOTIVE.

AND THEN I'M ASKING TO SOLICIT AGAIN FOR THE SAME RFP, IT WOULD BE JUST A DIFFERENT NUMBER.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, IF NOT, IS THERE A MOTION TO THE, TO GRANT PERMISSION TO SOLICIT RFP 21, 24 AND AWARD CONTRACT 2107 TO FRED'S A MUFFLER, UM, FRIDGE MUFFLER.

SO MOVE, WE HAD THAT MOTION FROM COMMISSIONER CATES.

IS THERE A SECOND, SECOND, SECOND COMMISSIONER PHILLIPS DISCUSSION THOSE IN FAVOR, SIGNIFY BY SAYING I WAS SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT MOTION CARRIES,

[15. Raylan Smith; Discuss and consider award of contract for RFP 21-09: Kaufman County Depository Services Contract.]

WE DID RECEIVE ONLY ONE RESPONSE FOR THIS RFP AND IT WAS AMERICAN NATIONAL BANK.

AND WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR IS PERMISSION TO BEGIN CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS BASED ON WHAT THEY SUBMITTED.

SO TYPICAL DEAL, WE WOULD THE CONTRACT TO THEM AT AS THE ONLY BIDDER AND THEN NEGOTIATE THE TERMS. I'LL BRING THE FINAL CONTRACT BACK FOR APPROVAL QUESTIONS FOR RAELYNN.

UH, IF NOT, IS THERE A MOTION TO AWARD CONTRACT FOR RFP 2,109? I'M NOT GETTING EMOTIONAL COMMISSIONER HUNT.

IS THERE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND, SECOND COMMISSIONER PHILLIPS DISCUSSION THOSE IN FAVOR, SIGNIFY BY SAYING, AYE.

THOSE OPPOSED NO MOTION CARRIES.

AND AGAIN,

[16. Raylan Smith; Discuss and consider permission to solicit RFP 21-25: Approximately 13,600 L.F. Rubblizing of Kaufman County Road 4106.]

THIS WOULD BE JUST FOR THE REVOLUTIONIZING OF ONE COUNTY ROAD.

UM, BUT BASED ON OUR RESEARCH, THIS IS GOING TO OBVIOUSLY EXCEED THE THRESHOLD.

SO WE'LL NEED TO GO OUT FOR FIELD BID QUESTIONS.

WHAT, THERE ARE NO QUESTIONS.

IS THERE A MOTION FOR APPROVAL TO SOLICIT RFP 2125? SO MOVE THAT MOTION COMES FROM COMMISSIONER CASES OR SECOND, SECOND, SECOND, COMMISSIONER BARBARA DISCUSSION THOSE IN FAVOR, SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.

[20. Sheriff Beavers/ Chief Evans; Discuss/Consider I LA with Polk County for inmate housing.]

BEAVERS DISCUSS, CONSIDER ILA WITH POLK COUNTY FOR INMATE HOUSING.

YEAH.

I'VE BEEN REACHED OUT BY SHERIFF BYRON AND THE, UH, THEY'RE HAVING SOME ISSUES.

I'VE TOLD HIM.

I'D TRY TO HELP HIM OUT THE BEST I CAN.

UH, WHAT THIS IS THE CONTRACT IS I TOLD HIM I'VE ALREADY GOT AN EXISTING CONTRACT WITH US.

MARSHALL THAT HAVE TO BE THE SAME PRICE OF 60 A DAY.

UH, SO WE'RE GOING TO WORK ON THAT.

THE PROBABLY THE MOST HE'LL SEND US AS 20 I'VE TOLD HIM WE NEED TO DO A CLASSIFICATION WHERE I DON'T HAVE TO BOOK THEM UP AND PUT THEM ALL UP ON THEM IN ONE PLACE.

SO THEY'LL HAVE TO ALL BE THE SAME CLASSIFICATION BECAUSE ONCE AGAIN, COVID IS MY BIG CONCERN IN THE JAIL.

AND THAT'S WHY OUR NUMBERS ARE TRYING TO KEEP THEM SMALL AS NUMBER.

CAUSE WE'VE GOT A QUARANTINE.

AS YOU KNOW OF RIGHT NOW REPORT, I'VE GOT ONE POSITIVE INMATE GOT 69 INMATES IN QUARANTINE.

I'VE GOT FIVE STAFF.

THAT'S GOT A POSITIVE TEST AT THIS POINT.

SO WE'RE STILL USING CAUTIOUS AS WE BRING PEOPLE IN.

SO THAT'S THE ONLY WAY TO HELP THEM OUT IS DO THAT.

KEEP THEM TO THEIR SELVES.

AND, UH, MONITORING STILL GIVES US ROOM TO DO THAT.

UM, HOW LONG DO THEY, HOW LONG DO THEY WANT TO? THEY THINK THEY'LL NEED OUR HELP.

UH, I'M TALKING TO HIM.

I DON'T WANT TO LEARN.

THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO BE ABLE TO FACILITY IS WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO BE THERE.

JUST OUT OF ROOM.

YEAH.

[00:50:01]

SO, UH, I'M TRYING TO HELP HIM OUT.

POPE COUNTY HAS A GOOD, A GOOD SHERIFF DOWN THERE THAT WORKS WELL.

HE WON'T USE US BECAUSE OUR HISTORY OF THE JAIL, HE FEELS BETTER WITH THE STAFF.

SO I'M GONNA AT LEAST TRY TO HELP HIM WHILE WE CAN, UNLESS COVID GETS BAD, THEN I'LL PULL OUT OF IT.

PRETTY QUICK QUESTION FOR THE SHERIFF.

IF THERE ARE NO QUESTIONS, IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE THAT YOUR LOCAL AGREEMENT WITH POLK COUNTY FOR INMATE HOUSING, I'LL MAKE A MOTION.

WE HAD A MOTION CONTROL BARBARA TO APPROVE.

IS THERE A SECOND, SECOND, SECOND COMMISSION CAGE DISCUSSION.
