Sep 07, 2021 Commissioners Court

WHO WE DISCUSSED CONSIDER APPROVING PROCLAMATION FOR NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS MONTH.

NEXT ITEM, STEVE,

[3. Steve Howie; Discuss/Consider approving Proclamation for National Preparedness Month.]

WE NEED MORE PEOPLE IN HERE THAT WAS AWFUL WEIRD.

WALKING UP HERE.

UH, THANK YOU ALL FOR, UH, MIAMI UP HERE TODAY.

SEPTEMBER IS IN TRADITIONALLY NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS MONTH AND WE WENT AND ASKED THE COMMISSIONERS COURT TO ISSUE THIS PROCLAMATION BECAUSE OF THE TORCH WINTER WE HAD AND ALL THE DAMAGE AND EVERYTHING FROM HURRICANE IDA AS IT CAME THROUGH, I THINK IT WOULD BE A GOOD THING TO DO, TO TRY TO PROMOTE PREPAREDNESS IN OUR COMMUNITIES EVEN A LITTLE MORE.

SO THIS YEAR THAN IN THE PAST.

SO WE'VE COME TO YOU FOR THIS PROCLAMATION.

GENTLEMEN, WOULD YOU, UH, YOU'VE ALL RECEIVED THAT.

UM, DOES ANYBODY SPECIFICALLY WANT ME TO READ THAT OR NOT? IF NOT.

UM, ARE THERE QUESTIONS FOR STEVE THEN? IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE PROCLAMATION FOR NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS MONTH? I'LL MAKE THAT MOTION.

WE HAD A MOTION COMMISSIONER.

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

UH, ITEM FOUR, DISCUSS, CONSIDER AN MOU REGARDING TESTING CONTRACTOR.

THOSE OPPOSED? NO MOTION CARRIES.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BRINGING THAT TO, UH, STEVE,

[4. Steve Howie; Discuss/Consider MOU regarding testing contractor.]

I JUST HANDED THAT OUT TO Y'ALL.

THIS IS HOT OFF THE PRESS FROM THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT.

SO YOU WANT TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE, STEVE, UH, IT'S COME TO OUR ATTENTION THAT, UH, HERE'S THE LATEST COUPLE OF THREE WEEKS.

WE HAD A NUMBER OF PEOPLE LOOKING FOR TESTING SITES, PHARMACIES, AND PLACES THAT HAVE BEEN DOING IT ARE BOOKED UP SEVEN TO 10 DAYS OUT.

AND THAT DOES NOT HELP A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE TRYING TO GET A TEST SO THAT THEY CAN GO BACK TO WORK OR TO SCHOOL OR WHATEVER.

SO WE WANTED TO TRY AND GET SOME, UH, TESTING SITUATION BACK.

UH, TEXAS DIVISION OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT IS NOT DOING IT LIKE THEY DID LAST TIME.

THEY SENT US THE LINKS TO THEIR VENDORS AND RECOMMENDED WE GO THIS ROUTE TO GET THEM.

WE'LL BE CHARGING INSURANCE AND THEY HAVE A BOOM, THE FEDERAL MONEY THAT ACCESS FOR ANYBODY THAT DOES NOT HAVE INSURANCE.

SO THE COUNTY WOULD NOT BE OUT ANY MONEY.

UM, AND WE WANT TO TRY TO DO THIS, UH, IN SEVERAL LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY, WHATEVER WE CAN,

[00:05:01]

YOU KNOW, GET THE VENDOR TO DO.

WE DIDN'T INTEND TO HAVE ONE FIXED SITE TO RUN, YOU KNOW, AT THE SAME PLACE, WHICH SHOULD BE AT THE SHOPS AT TERRIBLE.

THEY'VE BEEN VERY NICE AND DONATING THE SPACE TO DO TESTS.

THAT'S THE FORMER TANGER, THAT'S THE FORMER TANGER, LMR, MOST PEOPLE, RIGHT? UH, THEY DONATED A LARGE SUITE TO HELP ACCOMMODATE THIS.

AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO ROTATE THE OTHER SITES AROUND THE COUNTY.

IF THAT'S SOMETHING WE CAN COME UP WITH WITH THE VENDORS.

SO THAT'S KIND OF WHAT OUR PLAN IS.

AND WE'RE TRYING TO DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO PROMOTE THE VACCINATIONS AND TESTING AND TRYING TO GET THROUGH THIS WHAT WE'RE IN RIGHT NOW.

SO IS THIS TESTING ONLY, OR TESTING IN VACCINATIONS? WE WILL HAVE BOTH AT THE SAME LOCATION IN TERRELL.

UH, THE REST ARE JUST BACK TESTING.

SO, UM, THIS SUPPLEMENT, TEXAS MILITARY FORCE, WE'LL BE DOING IT, BRINGING EVERYTHING IN AND IT'S ALL ALL BEEN.

WE DON'T HAVE TO HAVE ANY HANDS-ON.

AND YOU SAID THAT INSURANCE IS GOING TO PAY FOR IT, BUT DOES THAT MEAN THAT THE PEOPLE THAT GO THERE LIKE OUR EMPLOYEES WHEN THEY HAVE TO BACK OFF FOR TESTING? YES, IT WILL.

IT WOULD BE WHATEVER THE INSURANCE WITH THEM.

UM, THE TESTING, THERE'S NO CHARGE JUST FOR THE VACCINE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT WOULD BE THE VACCINE, NO CHARGE, BUT THE TESTING YOU'D HAVE TO PAY A COPAY.

AND I BELIEVE SO.

I KNOW THAT PART, I HAVEN'T GOTTEN INTO IT.

SO I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW FOR SURE ABOUT THAT.

UH, QUESTIONS FOR STEVE.

UH, WE THINK THAT THIS MIGHT GET SPOOLED UP AS EARLY AS WE SHOULD HAVE THE VACCINATION TEAM HERE SET UP ON THE 10TH, WHICH IS FRED AND SENDING THEREAFTER AS POSSIBLE.

WE'LL GET THE TESTING.

IT LOOKS LIKE MAINLY THE, THE TESTING THING CAN GET KIND OF EXPENSIVE NOW FOR INDIVIDUALS, IF THEIR JOB, IF YOU KNOW, LIKE SCHOOLS, EVEN THOUGH PEOPLE JUST, ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU'RE EXPOSED TO IT.

SO YOU HAVE TO GO GET A TEST TO COME BACK, WHATEVER, WHEREVER MIGHT BE DOING THIS.

AND PRETTY SOON THIS, UH, I DON'T KNOW.

I'M JUST SAYING THAT WE OUGHT TO BE CHECKING IN THIS AND TRYING TO FIGURE THIS OUT.

I MEAN, BECAUSE THEY CAN GET RID OF THEIR, IT COSTS LIKE FOR SOME PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY IF THEY HAVE A FAMILY OF FOUR OR FIVE PEOPLE.

NOPE.

NO TALKING TO THEM.

SO THEY DO IT LIKE THEY DID LAST TIME.

WHERE DID THEY COME IN AND DO IT? ALL RIGHT.

WE'RE CERTAINLY GOING TO ACCESS THAT TOO WELL.

THAT'S HOME SALES COST.

THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NO.

IF THERE ARE NO QUESTIONS, IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE MOU AS PRESENTED? OH, MIKE WAIT, EMOTIONAL COMMISSIONER PHILLIPS.

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

BRING UP ITEM EIGHT, UH, WHILE STEVE IS STILL HERE, UH, RAELYNN IS UNAVAILABLE TODAY.

UM, STEVE, THIS ISN'T YOUR ITEM, BUT, BUT AS LONG AS YOU'RE HERE, YOU MIGHT JUST HANG AROUND IN CASE THAT THERE'S A QUESTION ABOUT IT, CAUSE YOU, UM, I'M GONNA

[8. Raylan Smith; Discuss and Consider approval of Task Order TBGC-T02 between Tidal Basin Government Consulting and Kaufman County for Services related to updates to the Kaufman County Mitigation Plan.]

AND UH, I TOLD HER THAT I WOULD, I WOULD CARRY THIS ON.

AND IF THERE'S ANY ON THE ITEMS THAT SHE HAS ON THE AGENDA, IF THERE'S ANY OF THEM, GET ALL APRIL TO GET LOTS OF QUESTIONS AND DISCUSSION.

WE CAN JUST TABLE THEM UNTIL SHE'S ABLE TO RETURN.

SO ITEM, AGE, DISCUSS, CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A TASK ORDER.

TBG C DASH T O BETWEEN TITLE BASED IN GOVERNMENT CONSULTING AND THE COFFIN COUNTY FOR SERVICES RELATED TO UPDATES IN THE COFFIN COUNTY MITIGATION PLAN.

AND I'VE GOT A NOTE HERE THAT SHE GAVE ME IF I CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENED TO IT.

LET ME JUST A SECOND HERE.

SO I'LL JUST READ IT OFF OF MY PHONE.

I'LL JUST READ IT OFF OF MY PHONE.

IT'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF READING.

SHE SAYS, UH, THE TITLE IS, UH, THE TASK ORDER IS AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED.

IT GOES BACK TO THE PREVIOUS MEETINGS WHERE WE HAD DOCUMENTATION FOR THE MOST.

WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS TO WRAP UP THE MITIGATION PLAN AND TITLE IS REVIEWING THAT,

[00:10:01]

UH, THAT'S PART OF THAT.

SO THE AMOUNT AND THE AMOUNT OF THE AGREEMENT IS NOT TO EXCEED AND WE'RE UNSURE EXACTLY.

IT'S STILL KIND OF A WORK IN PROCESS.

WE'RE NOT REALLY SURE EXACTLY HOW MUCH, UH, I BELIEVE A FEW WEEKS AGO YOU TOLD ME IT WAS ABOUT 75% COMPLETE.

STEVE, I THINK IS WHAT YOU TOLD ME.

AND UM, SO THEY'RE JUST BASICALLY DOING A REVIEW AND OF COURSE THESE, THESE FUNDS WILL COME OUT OF THE ARPA MONEY TO PAY FOR THIS.

SO I DON'T, I DON'T REALLY HAVE A LOT MORE INFORMATION THAN THAT, OR Y'ALL, Y'ALL WANT TO GO AHEAD AND I'M GOING TO LOOK FOR A MOTION TO APPROVE TASK ORDER TBG, C DASH T T O TWO.

I KNOW THE LAST MEETING WE HAD OUT THERE, THE SHOW BARN WITH THE PEOPLE FROM INM IN THE EMERGENCY SHELTER FOR ANIMALS DURING YES, SIR.

YOU KNOW, AND YOU ARE ACTUALLY WORKING ON THE MITIGATION PLAN AND, AND WAS MOVING FORWARD THAT, SO, SO WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS THEY'RE GOING TO COME AND HELP HIM WRAP IT UP OR WRITE THIS TASK ORDER WOULD BE TO WRAP UP THE MITIGATION PLAN.

WE KIND OF HAVE TO BACKTRACK A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE FEMA CHANGED SOME OF THE RULES, WHICH THEY DID QUITE OFTEN.

SO THEY KIND OF THOUGHT IT WOULD BE THROUGH BY NOW, BUT BECAUSE OF THAT, I HAD TO GO BACK AND REDO SOME STUFF.

AND HOPEFULLY WITHIN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THE FIRST OF TWO PUBLIC MEETINGS VIRTUALLY AND WE HAVE TO HAVE TWO PUBLIC MEETINGS.

AND THEN THERE'S ONE OTHER FOLLOWUP MEETING WHICH WILL MEET UP WITH THE REQUIREMENTS FOR FEMA, FOR THE MAIN PART OF IT.

AND THEN IT'S PRETTY MUCH GOTTEN AS CROSSING FEES AND SUBMITTED WELL, EMMA, AND IT'S ALMOST IMPERATIVE THAT WE JUST, JUST A LOT OF GRANTS AND STUFF, NOT ONLY FOR US, BUT FOR THE CDS IN THE COUNTY, EVERYTHING ELSE ON THIS MITIGATION PLAN, RIGHT.

TO MOVE FORWARD.

IT'S A LOT OF THEM THEN WE DO TO EXPEDITE IT.

I DO KNOW BECAUSE THE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT OFFICE WAS RIGHT ACROSS FROM MINE DURING THE FIRE SERVICE DAYS.

AND I KNOW IT'S PAPER, IT'S LIKE THE GOVERNMENT JUST SENDS YOU PIPER IN THIS YEAR.

YOU'RE REVAMPING IN PAPER ALL THE TIME.

IT'S JUST, IT'S AMAZING.

WHEN WE FIRST DID THE FIRST VERSION OF IT, LAW SAYS SPAIN HAS 45 DAYS TO GET IT BACK TO US.

IT TOOK OVER 18 MONTHS TO GET IT BACK FROM GREENLAND.

SO THAT'S WHY I WANTED TO JUST MAKE SURE SOMEBODY LOOKS OVER AND MAKE SURE THAT WE'VE GOT EVERYTHING WE CAN TO KEEP THEM FROM DOING THAT TO US AGAIN WAY I DON'T KNOW THINGS THAT YOU CAN STOP AT THOUGH.

NO, SIR.

WELL, I DON'T, I DON'T WANT TO BE ACCUSED OF DEFENDING, BUT I SUSPECT THEY'RE PRETTY BUSY RIGHT NOW.

UM, SO WHAT WE HAVE AT FORCE ON AUTOMATE IS DISCUSSED CONSIDERED APPROVAL OF TASK ORDER TBG, C DASH T O TWO.

IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE THAT TASK ORDER? I'LL MAKE A MOTION.

WE HAVE A MOTION.

COMMISSIONER HUNT IS HER SECOND.

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

UM, ITEM FIVE, WE'RE GOING BACK UP NOW.

THANK YOU, STEVE.

YOU'RE WELCOME TO STAY FOR THE REST OF THE MEETING, BUT IF YOU WANT TO GO TO WORK, THAT'D BE OKAY TOO.

TODAY.

I'VE DISCUSSED CONSIDER APPROVAL OF FYI 2226 CASE REGISTRY LOCAL GOVERNMENT SERVICE CONTRACT WITH THE OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL IN APPROVED INCIDENT RESPONSE PLAN IN RELATION TO THE CONTRACT.

SO THIS IS THE CONTRACT BETWEEN KAUFMAN COUNTY AND THE OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL.

IT'S MOSTLY FOR DISTRICT QUIRKS TO BE ABLE TO CHILD SUPPORT AWARDS.

THEY ACTUALLY WILL PAY US FOR THE SERVICE.

THAT MEANS

[00:15:01]

WE HAVE THAT MOTION COMMISSIONER PHILLIPS.

[7. Raylan Smith; Discuss and consider approval of vendor contract negotiations for RFQ 21-21: Construction Manager Agent Services - Kaufman County Master Plan Facility Projects.]

IS ANOTHER RAY ON ITEM.

THANK YOU DEB.

FOR NUMBER SEVEN, DISCUSSING CONSIDER APPROVAL OF VENDOR CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS FOR RFQ 2121 CONSTRUCTION MANAGER, AGENT SERVICES, COFFIN COUNTY MASTER PLAN FACILITY PROJECTS.

UH, THIS IS, UH, THIS WAS ANOTHER ONE OF THESE CASES WHERE WHAT WE'RE DOING IS APPROVING OR BEING ASKED TO APPROVE NEGOTIATING WITH, UH, WITH THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AGENT.

UH, I'D LIKE TO TABLE, THIS ARE, ARE, ARE PASSING ON THE MASTER PLAN OF FACILITY PROJECTS THAT WE SAT DOWN AND WE LOOKED AT, AND THEN WE OBLIGATED TO AR FUNDS WHEN WE DID ALL THAT THINGS HAVE CHANGED AS, AS THE DIFFERENT INTERPRETATIONS OR THE READINGS OF THE APPEAL HAVE CHANGED WITH AR FUNDING.

SO IT'S KIND OF OUR MINDSET WAS TO DO ONE THING IN THIS KIND OF MORPHED.

SO I JUST THINK WE NEED TO BE BRIEF AS A COURT AND GO BACK OVER THE MASTER PLAN.

YOU KNOW, SO WE'RE ALL BROUGHT UP TO DATE WITH THE CHANGES WE'RE DEALING WITH AND DECISIONS THAT NEED TO BE MADE WITH THE MASTER FACILITY PLAN.

SO I WOULD LIKE TO TITLE IT AND GET THAT ON NEXT WEEK BEFORE WE VOTE ON THIS TO KIND OF BRIEF EVERYBODY WHERE WE'RE AT AND WHAT THE LINE OF THINKING IS, HOW TO UTILIZE THAT MONEY AND THE FACILITIES.

SO I JUST THOUGHT WE NEEDED TO BE BRIEFED ON ALL OF THIS BEFORE WE MOVE FORWARD INTO ANYTHING THAT WOULD KIND OF GET US BACK TO THE CORNER.

I THINK WHAT YOU'LL SEE IF WE TABLE, THIS IS WE'LL PROBABLY SEE TWO ITEMS ON THE AGENDA.

UH, ONE, A BROADER ITEM THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT AND THEN THE OTHER ONE WOULD BE, UH, BACK AND REVISIT THIS.

I, I JUST THINK I'D JUST LIKE TO BE BRIEFED ABOUT WHERE WE'RE GOING.

ONE OF THE THOUGHT PROCESS, YOU KNOW, WHAT KIND OF GLITCHES AS, AS WE'VE GOTTEN MORE INFORMATION AND HOW IT'S GOING TO MORPH A LITTLE BIT.

SO WE'RE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE.

DISCUSS CONSIDERED PERMISSION TO SOLICIT RFP 2201 LOWER EAST FORK LATERALS THREE CONSTRUCTURAL PAYER.

[9. Raylan Smith; Discuss and consider permission to solicit RFP 22-01: Lower East Fork Laterals 3 -Structural Repair; Cooperating with Texas State Soil and Water Conservation Board and Natural Resources Conservation Services of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.]

THIS IS THE ONGOING SEEMS LIKE A CONSTANTLY CHANGING DAM PROJECT.

UM, THE, I DO HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF BRIEF HERE FROM HER ON THAT.

UM, THIS IS ANOTHER UPGRADE.

THIS BEING PROPOSED, UH, THEY HAVE RECEIVED ALL THE NECESSARY STATE PERMITS CONTRACTORS SIGNED.

UH, OUR PORTION OF THIS UPGRADE WOULD BE $41,000.

HOWEVER, WE ARE BEING PAID FOR CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION SERVICES IN THE AMOUNT OF 91,000.

SO WE'RE BEING PAID 50, WE'LL BE PAID $50,000 MORE THAN WHAT, UM, OUR PORTION OF THIS PROJECT IS.

SO IS THAT CLEAR? YEAH, IT IS.

AND, AND IT'S, UH, I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY CHANGES WE'VE HAD ON THIS, BUT A LOT, BUT I GUESS THINGS LIKE, I GUESS, AS THEY START DIGGING IN THE DIRT, I GUESS THEY, THEY, IN THE $50,000 EXTRA, THAT'S ALL IT IS.

BUT I WILL SAY THIS, THAT I KNOW WHEN I FIRST GOT ON THE COURT, THERE WAS A LOT OF TALK ABOUT THESE, BUT IN THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF OR SO, OR TWO YEARS, WE'VE REALLY MOVED FORWARD TO MAKING THE REPAIRS.

SO I THINK THESE HAVE BEEN NEGLECTED FOR YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS, AND NOW SOMETHING'S HAPPENING.

SO WHETHER IT'S US OR NRCS OR WHATEVER, BUT SOMEONE'S MOVING FORWARD.

WELL, I MEAN, AND WE'RE NOT HAVING TO BEAR THE BURDEN.

YES.

SO, UH, QUESTIONS THAT I CAN ANSWER.

WE'RE GOING TO BE COMPLETELY REBUILDING THE ROAD.

THE ROAD IS ALREADY IN REALLY BAD SHAPE, BUT THE LAST TIME WE WORKED ON THAT ROAD, WE TRIED TO DO IT WITHOUT THE ROAD AND IT EXTENDED THE COMPLETION TIME, WAY OUT.
