Aug 09, 2022 Commissioners Court

SORRY ABOUT THAT UNTIL THE TECHNICAL FOLKS TO HAVE THE TECHNICAL ISSUES, RIGHT.

SO MY NAME'S BOBBY DAVIS I'M WITH ME TODAY IN THE BACK OF THE ROOM IS VANESSA BELLAND.

UH, WE'LL TALK ABOUT A LITTLE BIT OF OUR TEAM, UM, AND THE PERSONNEL THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE ENGAGING DURING THE IMPLEMENTATION HERE IN JUST A MOMENT, WE HAVE IDENTIFIED SOME CORE PROJECT GOALS THAT WE HAVE OUTLINED HERE ON THE SCREEN FOR YOU.

ULTIMATELY SPEAKING THE COUNTY IS LOOKING TO STREAMLINE A NUMBER OF PROCESSES, PROTOCOLS, AND ESSENTIALLY LOOKING TO TRANSFER OVER TO THE MUNIS APPLICATION.

SO WE'RE GOING TO BE, UH, TAKING THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEND HOPEFULLY A BIT OF TIME AND, UH, WORKING ON OUR BUDGET AND OUR PROJECTIONS.

THAT'S A VERY BIG TOPIC THAT WE KNOW IN IS VERY IMPORTANT.

WE'RE GOING TO INCREASE EFFICIENCIES.

IT MIGHT TAKE A COUPLE OF CLICKS HERE AND THERE.

UM, THAT MAY TAKE A MINUTE LONGER, UH, AND BE ESTABLISHED IN THE PROCESS.

BUT I PROMISE YOU THAT, THAT CLICK HERE AND THERE, THOSE TWO OR THREE ADDITIONAL ARE GOING TO TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE STAFF TO BE RELINQUISHED, MAYBE 20, 30 MINUTES OF A TASK THAT THEY WOULD BE DOING MANUALLY.

SO WE'RE LOOKING FOR THOSE EFFICIENCY OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE COUNTY, UM, ACCESSIBILITY AND RESPONSIVENESS.

UM, WE'RE LOOKING FOR, UM, DATA TO BE ACCESSIBLE FOR EACH OF YOU, UH, FOR COUNTY REPRESENTATIVES, FOR, UH, DEPARTMENT DIRECTORS AND STAFF, UH, AS WELL AS FOR OUR, OUR LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND OUR, OUR COUNTY PERSONNEL AS A WHOLE, UM, OVERCOMING ANY CHALLENGES.

WE KNOW THAT CHANGE CAN BE A BARRIER AT TIMES, BUT WE'RE GOING TO MANAGE THAT AS WELL AS WE POSSIBLY CAN STREAMLINE OUR BUSINESS PROCESSES AND PROVIDING A GOOD INTEGRATION SOLUTION FOR SOFTWARE THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO ULTIMATELY GIVE YOU A SINGLE PACKAGE FOR, UM, AND ELIMINATING DATA ENTRY.

WE HAVE OPPORTUNITIES TO BE ABLE TO QUICKLY ADD THE DATA.

AND SO THESE ARE SOME OF THE CORE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES THAT THE COUNTY HAS ESTABLISHED AND THAT WE AS TYLER HAVE ESTABLISHED A PROCESS AND PROTOCOL TO BE ABLE TO IMPLEMENT SUCCESSFULLY DURING THIS PHASE.

UM, OUR, UH, SENIOR DIRECTOR OF IMPLEMENTATION, NOT WITH US TODAY IS MY DIRECTOR, BOBBY SANDSTONE.

SO THE QUESTION THAT YOU MAY HAVE IN YOUR MIND IS HOW, HOW DO WE DO THIS AND WHO IS GOING TO BE INVOLVED IN IT? IT'S A VERY BIG AND IMPORTANT QUESTION.

SO WHEN WE TAKE A LOOK AT OUR PROJECT COMMUNITY, WE TAKE A LOOK AT THE WHO, AND THIS SLIDE DEMONSTRATES THAT ALTHOUGH THERE ARE MANY PERSONNEL THAT ARE GOING TO BE INVOLVED IN THE COUNTY, UM, THAT YOU SEE ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE, SUCH AS YOURSELVES AS THE EXECUTIVE STEERING COMMITTEE, UH, OUR PROJECT SPONSORSHIP, UM, OUR PROJECT, UH, LIAISONS THAT ARE GOING TO BE OUR SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS AND REALLY BE DOING A LOT OF THE HEAVY LIFTING.

AND THEN ALSO OUR END USERS.

WE ALSO PROVIDE THAT OPPORTUNITY AND THE SAME TYPE OF PERSONNEL THAT MANY OF YOU WILL NOT MEET.

EVEN OUR TEAM THAT WE'LL BE ENGAGING WITH PROBABLY WILL NOT CA UM, CORRELATE OR CORRESPOND WITH MANY OF THEM AT ONE GIVEN TIME.

UM, BUT WE DO HAVE A VERY STRONG TEAM BEHIND THE SCENES WITHIN THE TYLER COMPANY AND WITHIN THE ORGANIZATION THAT WE ARE TO REALLY SUPPORT THE IMPLEMENTATION.

SO WE LIKE TO DISPLAY THAT FOR YOU ALL THIS OUTLINES, UH, SPECIFICALLY THE COMMUNITY, UH, THE PROJECT COMMUNITY ON THE COUNTY SIDE, MR. RICHARDS HERE, OUR EXECUTIVE SPONSOR, AND THEN EACH OF YOU AS OUR STEERING COMMITTEE.

SO AS OUR STEERING COMMITTEE, WE'LL BE PROVIDING YOU ALL WITH REGULAR UPDATES OF THE OVERALL STATUS OF THE PROJECT AND THE IMPLEMENTATION, HOW EVERYTHING IS GOING.

WE TAKE A REALLY GOOD LOOK AT WHAT WE CALL OUR TRIPLE CONSTRAINTS.

SO HOW ARE WE DOING ON THE TIMELINE? ARE WE WITHIN OUR TIMELINE WITHIN OUR REALM OF SUCCEEDING AND BEING SUCCESSFUL WITH THE IMPLEMENTATION? HOW DO WE DO, OR HOW ARE WE DOING WITH OUR EXPENSES, OUR MONEY OR BUDGET? UM, ARE WE STAYING WITHIN OUR PARAMETERS THAT WE HAVE IDENTIFIED, UH, BASED UPON THE CONTRACT IN ORDER TO DELIVER THE SERVICES THAT WE HAVE.

UM, AND THEN ALSO FROM A PERSONNEL PERSPECTIVE, HOW IS THE PERSONNEL, UM, ABSORBING THE KNOWLEDGE BASE? DO WE NEED TO TAKE A LOOK AT INCREASING THAT OR POSSIBLY SPENDING A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME? SO THOSE ARE SOME VERY KEY AND IMPORTANT, UM, FACTORS THAT WE CONSIDER FROM A PROJECT MANAGEMENT PERSPECTIVE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SCREEN, YOU'LL SEE OUR EXECUTIVE TEAM, UM, FOR THE PROJECT AND THE PROJECT MANAGEMENT.

UM, WE'LL START WITH CARRIE GEASEY.

SHE IS,

[00:10:01]

HE IS MY DIRECT REPORT AND HE AND I, AS BOBBY DAVIS WILL BE, UH, DEALING WITH A LOT OF, UM, ENSURING THAT THOSE TRIPLE CONSTRAINTS REMAIN INTACT IN THAT WE'LL, WE'LL BE OBTAINING SOME VERY REGULAR UPDATES FROM VANESSA WHO SITS AT THE BACK OF THE ROOM, BUT NESSA WILL BE WORKING VERY CLOSELY WITH KAREN AND BRANDY OVER HERE TO MY RIGHT.

AND, UM, THEY THREE TOGETHER AS THE PROJECT MANAGEMENT TEAM WILL ENSURE THAT WE ARE STAYING, UM, THAT WE'RE STAYING, UH, IN ACCORDANCE WITH OUR CONTRACT AND WITH CONSIDERING EACH OF THOSE CONSTRAINTS.

ALL RIGHT, SO GOVERNANCE, HOW ARE WE GOING TO DO THIS? UM, NOT ONLY DO WE IDENTIFY THE WHO, BUT WE ALSO IDENTIFY HOW, UM, THE, WHO IS VERY IMPORTANT.

WE KNOW THAT EACH, UH, BODY PROBABLY HERE IN THIS ROOM IS GOING TO BE INVOLVED AS WELL AS THOSE THAT ARE NOT IN ATTENDANCE TODAY.

AND IT'S A VERY LARGE TASK TO UNDERTAKE, BUT THE EVEN LARGER QUESTION IS HOW, AND THIS SLIDE, UH, DOCUMENTS THAT AND PRESENTS THAT WE'RE GOING TO ABIDE BY A VERY STRICT STRUCTURE.

UM, WE HAVE VERY DEFINED TASKS FOR EACH ONE OF THE STAGES THAT WE'LL GO THROUGH, UM, OF THE SOFTWARES THAT WE'LL BE IMPLEMENTING, WE'LL DISCUSS, CHANGE HOW THE CHANGE IS GOING TO IMPACT.

UM, AND ALSO HOW DO WE ADDRESS RESOLUTIONS FOR ANY ESCALATION POINTS THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED? UM, SO WE'RE ABLE TO REALLY ACT UPON THE, UH, THE BETTERMENT OF THE COUNTY AND CONSIDERING ALL OF THESE FACETS.

SO FROM A PROJECT GOVERNMENT GOVERNANCE, UM, AND SUPPORT, UH, WE TAKE A TOP DOWN APPROACH.

SO YOU'LL SEE AT THE TOP, WE LEAN ON THE PROJECT SPONSORS IN THE EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT, AND THEN WE, FROM THAT POINT FORWARD DRILL DOWN TO THE PROJECT COMMUNITY, WHICH IS GOING TO BE OUR IMPLEMENTATION TEAM AND OUR COMMUNITY.

AND WE CONSIDER ALL THE IMPACTS.

AND THAT IS HOW WE GOVERN OUR PROJECTS.

WE CONSIDER IT A HIKER HIERARCHIAL, UM, DELEGATION AND FROM THE GOALS AND ASPIRATIONS THAT YOU ALL HAVE AS THE EXECUTIVE SPONSORS.

UM, AND AS THE STEERING COMMITTEE, WE ENFORCE THOSE THROUGH THE COURSE OF THE PROJECT TEAM, SAME WITH THE TYLER SIDE, WE TAKE THE DIRECTIVE OF OUR EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT AND WE ENFORCED THOSE IN WORKING WITH YOU ALL.

SO THAT'S A VERY GREAT APPROACH ON, FROM A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE.

SO CONTROVERSIALLY SPEAKING, THE ESCALATION PATH IS VERY IMPORTANT TO NOTE THE ESCALATIONS ARE USUALLY THE NEED FOR ESCALATION IS USUALLY IDENTIFIED FROM THE IMPLEMENTATION TEAM, AS WELL AS THOSE THAT ARE ENGAGING WITH THE PROJECT, UM, ON A DAY-TO-DAY BASIS AS WE GO FORWARD FORWARD WITH THE IMPLEMENTATION.

AND THEN FROM THERE, WE TAKE A BOTTOM UP APPROACH SO THAT WE ADDRESS ANY ISSUES AND IDENTIFY ANY RESOLUTIONS AND CAN ACCOMPLISH THE SUCCESS A RESOLUTION SUCCESSFULLY.

SO THAT IS OUR APPROACH, ALL RIGHT, FROM A PROJECT COMMUNITY PERSPECTIVE, BOTH KAREN AND BRANDY, AS WELL AS VANESSA ARE GOING TO BE MANAGING EACH OF THESE CONSTRAINTS THAT YOU SEE HERE.

SO RISK AND RESOURCES, WE'LL BE SURE THAT WE REMAIN IN CON IN SCOPE OF THE CONTRACT AND THE COMMUNICATION GOT WAIT.

THAT IS SO KEY.

UM, ENSURING THAT WE HAVE A TWO-WAY COMMUNICATION, BOTH FROM THE TYLER SIDE, AS WELL AS, UM, FROM THE COUNTY SIDE AS WELL, REPORTING, WE LIKE TO GIVE A NUMBER OF REPORTS.

WE KNOW THAT REPORTS ARE A VERY LARGE FACET OF, UM, THE COUNTY, AND WE KNOW THAT SEEING A VISUAL OF THE SUCCESSES AND THE PROGRESSES THAT WE'LL MAKE DURING EACH ONE OF OUR IMPLEMENTATIONS IS GOING TO BE, UH, EASILY RE UH, REPORTABLE FROM, UM, MORE OF A GRAPHICAL VIEW.

SO WE PROVIDE THAT, AND THEN WE ALSO MANAGE, UH, ESCALATIONS, SO THAT FROM A GOVERNANCE PERSPECTIVE AND FROM A RESPONSIBILITIES PERSPECTIVE, WHAT WE WILL MANAGE AND HOW, UM, AND THAT ULTIMATELY IS VANESSA AND KAREN AND BRANDY WORKING TOGETHER VERY CLOSELY.

IS GOING TO BE APRIL OF 2023.

SO WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE IMPLEMENTATION ITSELF, WHAT OUR TIMELINE IS, UM, AND WHO IS INVOLVED.

SO FIRST AND FOREMOST, WE'RE GOING TO BE STARTING WITH OUR PHASE ONE.

IT'S ACTIVELY IN THE WORKS.

WE HAVE KICKED IT OFF.

WE HAVE MET WITH THE TEAM.

WE HAVE BECOME ENGAGED AND SCHEDULED A FEW SESSIONS, AND THAT STARTED IN JULY.

SO JUST LAST MONTH, AND CURRENTLY OUR GO LIVE FOR THE FINANCIALS SUITE

[00:15:01]

YOU'LL SEE THAT JUST IN A SHORT COUPLE OF WEEKS FROM NOW THAT OUR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT TEAM IS GOING TO GET STARTED WITH THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT IMPLEMENTATION.

SO THAT STARTING IN SEPTEMBER AND GOING JULY OF 20 GOING LIVE JULY OF 2023.

SO I WANT TO PAUSE FOR JUST A SECOND AND LET YOU KNOW THAT THERE IS A BIT OF OVERLAP.

YOU SEE JULY AND SEPTEMBER, THAT'S A BIT OF OVERLAP.

I WANT TO CLEARLY COMMUNICATE THAT WE HAVE DEDICATED TEAMS FOR THESE OVERLAPPED PHASES.

SO ALTHOUGH VANESSA WILL BE MANAGING THE FINANCIAL PHASE, WE WILL HAVE A DEDICATED PROJECT MANAGER REPRESENTATIVE THAT WILL WORK WITH THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT TEAM TO MANAGE BOTH OF THESE PHASES.

SO WE ARE ABLE TO LIGHTEN THE LOAD A LITTLE BIT, NOT ONLY FROM THE COUNTY PERSONNEL SIDE, BUT ALSO FROM THE TYLER PERSONNEL SIDE AS WELL.

ON THE TYLER SIDE, THE PROJECT MANAGERS WILL STAY VERY CLOSELY ENGAGED WITH EACH OTHER.

UH, THEY'LL COMMUNICATE REGULARLY ENSURING THAT WE'RE NOT OVERLAPPING AND BOMBARDING THE COUNTY WITH TOO MUCH.

UM, AND SO WE WORK, UM, AS A TEAM AND BE, AND ENSURE THAT, YOU KNOW, THE COUNTY CAN DELIVER BASED UPON, UM, WHAT OUR REQUIREMENTS ARE FOR A SUCCESSFUL IMPLEMENTATION.

SO I WANT TO TAKE SPECIAL NOTE OF THAT.

THE THIRD PHASE IS OUR HUMAN RESOURCES.

THIS IS GOING TO CAPTURE EVERYTHING, UH, WITH REGARDS TO HR, AS WELL AS PAYROLL.

OUR SUITE IS TOGETHER WITHIN MUNIS.

THAT'S GOING TO GET STARTED IN FEBRUARY OF NEXT YEAR AND GO LIVE JANUARY OF 2024.

SO WE'RE OUT A LITTLE WAYS FROM NOW, BUT THIS GIVES YOU THE EXAMPLE OF HOW WE DON'T OVERLAP TOO MANY OF OUR PHASES, BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT THE WORKLOAD IS A BIT HIGH.

AND THEN OUR FINAL PHASE IS GOING TO BE OUR ENTERPRISE ASSET MANAGEMENT STARTING IN JULY OF 2023 AND GOING LIVE APRIL OF 2024.

SO WE'VE GOT A GREAT PLAN ESTABLISHED AS FAR AS A TIMELINE, WHICH IF YOU RECALL, ONE OF OUR TRIPLE CONSTRAINTS IS THAT WE PAY VERY CLOSE ATTENTION TO IS OUR TIMELINE.

SO THE FINANCIAL SPACE, I'M GOING TO HIGHLIGHT THAT BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT WE ARE ACTIVELY AMIDST AT THIS POINT IN TIME.

IT'S A VERY KEY DRIVER OF THE COUNTY.

UM, THE APPLICATIONS THAT ARE INCLUDED IN THE FINANCIAL SUITE ARE LISTED HERE.

SO, UH, KAREN AND TEAM ARE GOING TO BE ENCOMPASSING EVERYTHING WITH REGARDS TO ACCOUNTS, PAYABLE, BUDGET, UM, GENERAL LEDGER AND THE CHART, UH, PROJECT AND GRANT ACCOUNTING, IF NEEDED, UH, CONTRACTS, BID MANAGEMENT VENDORS, HOW DO WE COMMUNICATE AND CORRELATE WITH OUR VENDORS, UH, THROUGH OUR VENDOR, SELF-SERVICE ANY TYPE OF INVENTORY, CAPITAL ASSET TRACKING, UM, AND HOW WE FEASIBLY CAN DO THAT WITH A SCAN AND BARCODE SYSTEM, UM, UH, TRANSPARENCY, UM, OUR OPEN FINANCE TRANSPARENCY PORTAL IS IMPORTANT SO THAT THE FINANCIAL STATUS OF THE ACCOUNTING CAN BE DISPLAYED TO OUR TAXPAYERS.

SO I WENT TO HIGHLIGHT THIS, UM, SLIDE VERY CLOSELY BECAUSE, UM, WE ARE ACTIVELY AMIDST THIS CURRENT PHASE AND THE TEAM IS ENGAGED.

SO THESE ARE ALL THE, UM, MODULES THAT WILL BE COMPLETED DURING THIS TIME.

NEXT IS THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT FACED.

UM, AND YOU'LL SEE HERE THAT WE'LL TALK ABOUT COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT, ENGAGING WITH OUR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR HERE AT THE COUNTY, AND WE'LL BE, UH, YOU KNOW, KICKING THAT OFF WITHIN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS, UM, WORKFORCE MOBILE, MY CIVIC, UH, YOU KNOW, ENTERPRISE SERVICE REQUESTS, THOSE TYPES OF, UH, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT APPLICATIONS, HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT, OR YOU MAY HEAR US REFER TO IT AS HRM AS PAYROLL WITH EMPLOYEE SELF-SERVICE, HR, TALENT MANAGEMENT.

SO TRACKING OF EDUCATION CERTIFICATES, TALENT MANAGEMENT, WHAT TRAININGS CAN WE OFFER? WHAT TRAININGS DO WE TRACK, UH, TIME AND ATTENDANCE WE'RE GOING TO BE USING AND IMPLEMENTING OUR EXECUTIVE TIME SUITE.

UM, AND THERE IS ALSO THE NEED FOR RE ROLLING SCHEDULES FOR OUR SHERIFFS.

UM, SO WE'LL BE, UM, UTILIZING OUR ADVANCED SCHEDULING PORTION OF THE EXECUTIVE SUITE AS WELL, RISK MANAGEMENT, AND THEN RECRUITING, WHICH IS OUR APPLICANT TRACKING OUR HIRING PROCESS.

ENTERPRISE ASSET MANAGEMENT IS OUR FOURTH AND FINAL PHASE.

UM, AND THAT IS ULTIMATELY DIVING IN A LITTLE BIT FURTHER INTO OUR CAPITAL ASSETS AND HOW WE MAINTAIN AND MANAGE THOSE.

SO WE'LL BE USING, UM, DO YOU HAVE GRAPHICAL SYSTEMS AND TRACKING THOSE VERY CLOSELY? SO THAT'S ENTERPRISE ASSET MANAGEMENT.

NOW, ONE KEY FACTOR HERE THAT I HAVE IDENTIFIED ON THIS SLIDE IS THAT THERE ARE

[00:20:01]

SOME ITEMS WITHIN THE MUNIS SUITE THAT WILL BE CROSS FACED, MEANING THEY WON'T TOUCH JUST ONE FACE.

THEY COULD TOUCH MULTIPLES, MAYBE THEY TOUCH ALL OF THEM IN SOME INSTANCES, AND THOSE ARE GOING TO BE ITEMS SUCH AS OUR REPORTING AND OUR HUB PAGE, OUR GENERAL LOCATION TO ACCESS EACH OF THE APPLICATIONS BASED UPON THE PHASE AND THE EXPERTISE THAT THE END-USERS NEED TO OBTAIN ACCESS FOR READY FORMS. WE HAVE A GREAT CUSTOMIZATION, UH, PROCESS THAT WE CAN, UH, CONSIDER MAKING THE FORMS, THE COUNTY'S FORMS AND TAKING WHAT MAY BE AN EXCEL OR A WORD DOCUMENT, AND VERY USER-FRIENDLY AND PULLING THAT INTO THE MUNIS SYSTEM TO BE ABLE TO OWN AND CREATE THAT FORM SYSTEMATICALLY.

SO, AND THEN ONE OF MY FAVORITE PARTS IS THE TCN THAT IS SHORT FOR TYLER CONTENT MANAGER.

UM, THAT IS OUR AUTO INDEXING, AS OPPOSED TO PRINTING A PAPER OUT AND FILING IT.

WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO TAKE THAT AND WE'RE GOING TO SAVE IT ELECTRONICALLY, AND THAT BACKS UP ON OUR SERVERS ON A NIGHTLY BASIS.

AND SO THOSE DOCUMENTS ARE SAVED ELECTRONICALLY, ELECTRONICALLY, EXCUSE ME, VERSUS, UH, A PHYSICAL PAPER.

KNOWING IF WE WANT THAT PHYSICAL PAPER, WE CAN CERTAINLY OBTAIN THAT BY JUST A QUICK PRINT OF THAT DOCUMENT.

AND BEING ABLE TO MAKE A QUICK REQUEST, HEY, WE'VE GOT A POTHOLE HERE.

SO WE'VE TALKED ABOUT WHAT WE'RE DOING NOW.

WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE HOW, AND THIS IS A METHODOLOGY THAT TYLER HAS IN, UM, IMPLEMENTED AND HAS TESTED AND BEEN SHOWN TO BE PROVEN SUCCESSFUL TIME AND TIME AGAIN.

SO I'LL TALK ABOUT EACH ONE OF THESE FROM A HIGH LEVEL.

OUR FIRST STAGE IS INITIATE AND PLAN.

WE HAVE ALREADY COMPLETED IN OUR AMIDST THAT ACTUALLY TODAY, AS WE GO THROUGH WHAT WE REFER TO AS A KICKOFF AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLANNING, AND WE TALK WITH YOU ALL ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF THE PROJECT AND THE ENGAGEMENT THAT IS NEEDED.

AND WE MEET THE TEAM, WE BEGAN TALKING SCHEDULES AND OBTAINING SOME VERY KEY TIMES THAT THE TEAM WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE, THAT WE CAN'T SCHEDULE ANY SESSIONS, AND WE REALLY JUST GET THE PROJECT STARTED.

SO THAT IS INITIATE IN PLAN.

WE HAVE ALSO WORKED TO BEGIN OUR ASSESS AND DEFINE DURING THIS POINT IN TIME, THE END-USERS, UH, OR THE EXPERTS, UH, SUCH AS BRANDY AND KAREN AND TEAM THAT ARE GOING TO BE IN THE SYSTEM ON A DAILY BASIS, THEY BEGIN TO LEARN THE SOFTWARE, WHAT ITS CAPABILITIES ARE.

WE TAKE A LOOK AT HOW THE COUNTY PROCESSES, UM, PROCEDURES AT THIS TIME CONSIDER WHETHER OR NOT THERE ARE SOME OPPORTUNITIES FOR CHANGES, AND IF THERE ARE HOW WE BEST WANT TO APPROACH THAT AND DETERMINE THAT AND DOCUMENT THAT TO BE OUR ANALYSIS.

AND WE REALLY MAKE A DECISION ON HOW WE WANT TO IMPLEMENT THE SOFTWARE BASED UPON ITS, UM, CONFIGURATION.

SO WE WILL BE GETTING STARTED ON THAT WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS.

UM, AND SO THE TEAM, MY TEAM IS VERY EXCITED AND, YOU KNOW, READY TO ENGAGE WITH ALL HERE AT THE COUNTY.

SO NEXT STEP OF OUR STAGE OF OUR IMPLEMENTATION IS THE PREPARE SOLUTION.

THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR MY TEAM TO TAKE ALL OF THE ANALYSIS ANSWERS THAT WE RECEIVE IN THE PROCESSES THAT ARE CURRENTLY TAKING PLACE, AND REALLY DO A LOT OF THE CODE BUILDING AND CONFIGURATION IN THE SYSTEM.

WE DO A LOT OF THE HEAVY LIFTING, UH, BASED UPON THIS, BUT THAT THAT'S NOT TO SAY THAT WE DON'T ENGAGE THE TEAM PERIODICALLY, UH, THE TEAM HERE AT THE COUNTY PERIODICALLY TO ENSURE THAT WHAT WE ARE CONFIGURING AND WHAT WE UNDERSTAND FROM A KNOWLEDGE PERSPECTIVE IS WHAT IS INTENDED FOR, UM, THE COUNTY.

SO IT'S, AT THAT TIME THAT WE BEGIN TO DO SOME TESTING AND WE BEGIN TO DO AN ANALYSIS OF THE CONFIGURATION THAT'S ALREADY TAKEN PLACE, AND WE MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE FINE TUNING IT, CROSSING THOSE T'S DOTTING THOSE I'S.

AND JUST MAKING SURE THAT IT'S GOING TO SUCCESSFULLY FUNCTION PROPERLY.

WE WILL THEN START TO, UM, ENCOMPASSED AND BEGIN OUR PRODUCTION READINESS.

WE DO A THOROUGH ANALYSIS TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT WE'RE READY TO BEGIN THE USE OF THE IMMUNE SYSTEM.

WE START TO BRING IN AND PLAN FOR END USER TRAINING.

WE KNOW THAT JUST THE FINANCIAL DEPARTMENT MIGHT NOT BE THE ONLY ONES THAT ARE GOING TO USE THE MUNIS FINANCIAL SUITE.

WE KNOW THAT, UM, EMPLOYEES WILL BE UTILIZING THESE THE SUITE FOR TIME AND ATTENDANCE.

AND SO DURING EACH PHASE, WE BRING IN END USERS AND WE TALK ABOUT, UM, HOW THEY'RE GOING TO BE ENCOUNTERED, INCORPORATING THIS SYSTEM INTO THEIR DAILY PROCESS.

SO WHETHER THAT BE TIME ENTRY OR PUTTING IN A REQUISITION FOR FINANCIALS, UH, FOR PURCHASING, UM, UH, UH, EVEN, UM, ONE OF OUR TAXPAYERS WITH THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT GETTING ON

[00:25:01]

MAYBE WE NEED TO FIX IT TYPE SITUATION.

AND THEN FINALLY THE BREAD AND THE BUTTER WOULD GO INTO PRODUCTION.

WE ESTABLISH A PLAN TO TURN OFF THE USE OF THE LEGACY SYSTEM, WHICH IS THE SYSTEM THAT'S CURRENTLY BEING UTILIZED NOW AND TURN ON THE SWITCH AND BEGIN OUR DAY-TO-DAY PROCESSES IN THE MUNIS APPLICATION.

SO THIS IS, UM, ULTIMATELY THE FRUIT, WHAT WE ARE ALL STRIVING TO RECEIVE SUCCESSFULLY AT THE END OF THE DAY IS THIS STAGE, BUT DON'T WORRY.

WE DON'T GO ANYWHERE.

IMPLEMENTATION IS STILL TEAM IS STILL VERY ENGAGED.

AND, UM, WE ENSURE THAT FROM A POSTLIGHT PERSPECTIVE, THAT THERE ARE, UM, THAT WE COVER ALL OF OUR BASIS.

AND WE DON'T LEAVE YOU GUYS TO SAVE, YOU KNOW, SPREAD YOUR WINGS AND FLY.

WE STILL GUIDE YOU WITH, THROUGH A NUMBER OF PROCESSES AND PROTOCOLS THAT ARE GOING TO BE NEW IN THE IMMUNE SYSTEM, ESPECIALLY THROUGH THE FIRST YEAR.

IN ADDITION, WE, UM, ENGAGE WITH OUR SUPPORT TEAM, WHICH WILL BECOME THE SUPPORT REPRESENTATIVES AND, UM, EXPERTISE IS THAT WILL ASSIST THE COUNTY, ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT WE REFERRED TO AS SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS THAT ARE USING THIS SYSTEM ON A DAY-TO-DAY BASIS.

SO THAT CONCLUDES HOW WE'RE GOING TO DO IT.

SO OUR NEXT FEW SITES, I'M NOT GOING TO GO OVER, UM, TOO TERRIBLY IN DEPTH, BUT I JUST WANT TO S UH, SIFT THROUGH THEM TO SHOW YOU THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE AND THE TYPES OF PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING TO BE REQUIRED TO ENGAGE IN THIS IMPLEMENTATION AND KNOW THAT IT'S A COLLECTIVE COMMUNITY TYPE OF PERSPECTIVE FROM THE COUNTY, AS WELL AS FROM TYLER.

SO OUR EXECUTIVE SPONSOR, UM, ENSURING THAT WE'RE, WE'VE GOT THE SUPPORT FROM THE PROJECT, ENSURING THAT FROM ALSO A STEERING COMMITTEE PERSPECTIVE, THAT THE BUY-IN AND THAT THE ENGAGEMENT, THE EXCITEMENT, THE ENCOUNTER OF IT IS, UM, LARGELY COMMUNICATED AND WELL RECEIVED THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY.

UM, OUR PROJECT MANAGERS, WHOM I'VE TALKED ABOUT QUITE A BIT, ENSURING THAT WE'RE STAYING WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THE CONTRACT, OUR FUNCTIONAL LEADS, YOU'LL SEE A REPRESENTATIVES WITH THE, WITHIN EACH OF THE DEPARTMENTS, SUCH AS THE FINANCIAL TEAM THAT ARE GOING TO BE UTILIZING THE SYSTEM ON A REGULAR BASIS FOR FINANCIALS, THEY SEE THE BIGGER PICTURE VISION.

THEY ESTABLISH THE PROCESS.

THAT'S GOING TO TAKE PLACE IN THE, IN IT, OUR POWER USERS.

UM, THOSE THAT ARE GOING TO BE, UM, THE EXPERTS, THE GO-TO IS TO ASK THE QUESTIONS THAT ARE REGULARLY IN THE SYSTEM AS WELL.

OUR DEPARTMENT HEADS, WE MIGHT HAVE A FAILURE WITH US, BUT THE BUY-IN FROM THE DEPARTMENT HEADS TO EXPRESS AND TO EXCITE THEIR DEPARTMENTS AND ENGAGE ON THE IMPLEMENTATION'S IMPORTANT AS WELL.

AND USERS, THOSE THAT ARE GOING TO BE TRAINED EVENTUALLY ONE DAY, HOW DO YOU USE THIS SYSTEM? ONCE WE GET THROUGH THE BREAD AND BUTTER OF MAKING IT RIGHT? AND THERE'LL BE, UM, YOU KNOW, ENCOURAGED TO PRACTICE AND AS, YOU KNOW, BE A SUPPORTER OF THE SYSTEM, AND THEN OUR TECHNICAL LEADS, WE CAN'T DO THIS WITHOUT ANY OF OUR TECHNICAL REPRESENTATIVES TO ENSURE THAT WE HAVE EVERYTHING THAT WE NEED FROM AN INFRASTRUCTURE PERSPECTIVE.

AND THEN OUR CHANGE MANAGEMENT CHANGE SOMETIMES IS NOT EASY, BUT IT IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING TO PLAN FOR.

UM, AND, UH, WE LIKE TO BE SURE THAT WE'RE GOING TO IMPACT THE COUNTY IN A POSITIVE WAY AND HOW WE DO THAT IS IMPORTANT.

SO THAT SUMMARIZES THE TYLER PERSPECTIVE, WHAT THE SUITE IS GOING TO PROVIDE THE COUNTY.

I'LL OPEN IT UP FOR ANY QUESTIONS, IF YOU HAVE ANY, UM, OTHERWISE I THANK YOU GUYS VERY MUCH FOR HAVING US TODAY, AND WE'RE EXCITED FOR THE PARTNERSHIP WITH THE COUNTY, AND WE'RE REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO ESTABLISHING A GOOD WORKING RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU GUYS QUESTIONS.

WELL, THAT WAS A GOOD PRESENTATION.

I APPRECIATE THAT.

THANK YOU.

UM, NOW I DON'T HAVE VERY MANY QUESTIONS AS THIS POINT, YOU KNOW, I GUESS AS IT GOES ALONG, EVERYBODY WILL HAVE.

ABSOLUTELY.

AND WE'LL CERTAINLY BE PROVIDING THOSE UPDATES FOR YOU.

WE'LL FILL THOSE BUMPS AND MITIGATE THOSE AS BEST AS WE CAN.

THANK YOU.

I FEEL PRETTY CONFIDENT THAT WE'VE DONE THAT WE'VE CHOSEN, CHOSEN THE RIGHT PROVIDER FOR THIS.

I MEAN, I, YOU KNOW, I KNOW, UH, WHAT I KNOW WHAT Y'ALL DO AND YOUR HISTORY, SO IT'S GOING TO BE, UH, IT'S KIND OF GETTING THIS COUNTY READY FOR WHERE WE ARE TODAY AND WHERE WE'RE, WE SEEM LIKE WE'RE GOING IN TERMS OF CHANGING.

SO I KNOW WE'LL, I KNOW IT'LL, YOU KNOW, IT'LL HAVE SOME, WE'LL HAVE SOME BUMPS, BUT

[00:30:02]

AND IF AT ANY GIVEN POINT IN TIME, IF YOU SEE A BUMP, UM, AND, AND ARE, YOU KNOW, NEEDING TO BRING THAT TO OUR ATTENTION OR GLAD TO MEET WITH YOU ABOUT IT.

WELL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR PRESENTATION.

I APPRECIATE YOU ALL BEING HERE TODAY.

FOR HOK ARCHITECTS AND GALLERY CONSTRUCTION RECEIVES COSMETIC DESIGN PACKAGE AND CONSTRUCTION ESTIMATE FOR THE HISTORIC COURTHOUSE, RENOVATION AND CONSIDER ALLOCATION OF FUNDING AND TIMELINE FOR CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS AND BIDDING.

NEXT UP ITEM

[4. HOK Architects / Gallagher Construction; Receive Schematic Design Package and construction estimates for the Historic Courthouse Renovation and consider allocation of funding and time line for construction documents and bidding.]

HI EVERYBODY.

GOOD MORNING.

HOW'S IT GOING IN AWHILE? I KNOW I'VE MISSED Y'ALL WE'RE NOT PICKING UP HERE.

LET'S SEE.

NOPE.

THAT'S DEFINITELY NOT WHAT WE WANT TO DO.

HOW DID I GET THERE HERE? I KNOW IT WAS JUST THERE.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.

THAT'S WEIRD, RIGHT? YEAH.

THAT'S MY SCREEN.

I SUPPOSE THAT WE CAN OPEN IT AGAIN.

WHAT IS YOUR PHONE? WELL, IT'LL ALL GET WORKED OUT, BUT IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO COME UP AND HELP, I'M SURE THEY'D BE GLAD TO HAVE YOUR, OH, OKAY.

THAT'S STRANGE.

PARDON OR INTERRUPTION.

UH, WHILE THEY'RE WORKING ON THAT, UH, WHY DON'T WE JUST MOVE ON AND WE CAN DO THESE TWO THINGS REAL QUICK.

UH, THE, WE CAN GO TO THE AUDITOR AND DISCUSS LINE ITEM, TRENCH LINE ITEM IN BUDGET TRANSFERS AND CORRECTIONS.

I JUST GOT IT UP ACTUALLY.

WELL THEN NEVERMIND.

YOU WANT TO DO IT? THERE WE GO.

YAY.

SO, UM, FORMERLY GOOD MORNING.

UM, I AM SO EXCITED BECAUSE WE HAVE, AS, YOU KNOW, WORKED FOR QUITE SOME TIME, TRYING TO GET OUR OURSELVES INTO A PLACE WHERE WE GET A, UH, MOSTLY FINAL MOMENT WITH OUR RENOVATION OF THE, UH, HISTORIC COURTHOUSE.

UM, AND SO DESPITE SOME FEELINGS OF PEOPLE WITHIN THE COMMUNITY ON SORT OF THE STYLE OF THE BUILDING, WE ARE STILL GONNA USE IT.

AND SO WE'RE EXCITED THAT WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO, UM, REALLY WORK WITH THIS AND WORK WITH, UM, YOU KNOW, OUR, OUR INTERIOR TEAMS AND REALLY GET SOME PLANNING GOING.

SO TODAY I AM BRINGING A PLAN THAT IS POLISHED BECAUSE UP UNTIL THIS POINT, WE'VE REALLY ONLY BEEN PRESENTING YOU SOME SKETCHES THAT HAVE BEEN REALLY KIND OF AN OVERLAY

[00:35:01]

TO THE EXISTING PLANS.

AND SO WE'VE SHOWED YOU SORT OF THE CLEAN AND THE DIRTY VERSIONS AS I'VE SORT OF, YOU KNOW, EXPLAINED BEFORE IN THE PAST, BUT NOW WE'RE GOING TO HAVE EVERYTHING.

SO IT'S REALLY NICELY, UH, DRAWN OUT AND WE'VE ADDED FURNITURE.

SO IT'S A LOT EASIER TO SEE EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT WHEN WE ARE REALLY LOOKING AT THE RENOVATION.

WE'VE MADE A COUPLE OF MINOR CHANGES KIND OF HERE AND THERE TO, UM, SOME OF THE AREAS THAT WE'VE SHOWN YOU FROM OUR PREVIOUS ITERATIONS OF OUR RENOVATION PROJECT.

SO, UM, LET'S WALK THROUGH THAT AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO SORT OF TALK THROUGH SOME OF THE FINER POINTS, WHY SOME OF THE, THE DESIGN ELEMENTS ARE REALLY IMPORTANT IN TERMS OF OUR MECHANICAL ELECTRICAL AND PLUMBING.

WE CALL THAT OUR MEP, UM, OUR HVAC SYSTEM REALLY NEEDS SOME SERIOUS WORK AS YOU KNOW, AFTER BEING IN THE BUILDING.

UM, AND THEN, UM, WE'LL TALK THROUGH SOME, UH, BUDGETING.

SO WE'LL SORT OF, WE'LL HAVE IT ROUND ROBIN HERE WITH OUR TEAM.

UH, AND SO LET'S GET STARTED.

SO OUR FIRST SLIDE THAT WE'RE GOING TO SHOW HERE AND YOU'LL NOTICE I HAVE INCREASED MY POINTER SO THAT IT IS ABSOLUTELY OBNOXIOUS SO WE CAN LOOK AT THINGS.

SO OUR COURTHOUSE IS OUR WHITE SPACE HERE, AND, YOU KNOW, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT, WE ARE GOING TO TAKE THAT VESTIBULE OUT THAT HAS THAT SECURITY FEATURE IN THERE.

SO WE DON'T NEED THAT.

WE'RE GOING TO RETURN THE FACE OF THE BUILDING TO ITS ORIGINAL STATE.

AND SO WE'LL GET OUR CONCRETE FIXED HERE AND I'LL INCREASE THIS HERE SO EVERYBODY CAN SEE IT.

WE CAN SHOW WE ARE GOING TO GET OUR, OUR RAMPS COMING IN.

UM, AND SO OUR COURTYARD WILL REMAIN, UM, IN HERE.

SO WE'RE GOING TO JUST SPICE IT UP A LITTLE BIT.

WE'RE GOING TO MAKE IT NICE AND CLEAN AND GET EVERYTHING FUNCTIONING THE WAY IT WAS MEANT TO FUNCTION INITIALLY, BEFORE WE ADDED THAT SECURITY VESTIBULE.

SO HERE'S A, I'M GOING TO ZOOM OUT SO YOU CAN SEE THE OVERALL PLAN.

SO YOU CAN SEE OUR NICE GREEN SPACE AROUND THE BUILDING.

SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING THERE.

NOW, AS WE MOVE INTO OUR BASEMENT LEVEL, THIS IS ACTUALLY THE BASEMENT LEVEL.

AND SO REMEMBER WE'RE REALLY ONLY USING NOT QUITE HALF OF THE BOTTOM FLOOR OF THE BASEMENT.

AND SO I'M GOING TO ZOOM IN HERE SO YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE OUR NICE AND CLEAN PLAN.

AND SO HERE, WE'VE GOT OUR, OUR DOCUMENT STORAGE, ALTHOUGH IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU GUYS ARE GONNA NEED LESS DOCUMENTS STORAGE AFTER THIS PRETTY INTENSE TECHNOLOGY UPGRADE YOU GUYS ARE GETTING SO THAT'S GREAT.

UH, BUT THERE, THAT STORAGE SPACE WILL BE THERE AND THERE WILL ALWAYS BE A NEED FOR STORAGE.

AS YOU KNOW, WE HAVE THINGS RIGHT, AS A COUNTY, WE JUST HAVE THE NEED FOR SOME STORAGE.

SO, UH, THE OTHER THING THAT WE'LL SEE HERE IS THAT WE HAVE AN IT INVENTORY STORAGE THAT WE NEED TO MAINTAIN FOR OUR, OUR, OUR IT GROUP.

SO THEY HAVE THINGS LIKE, UH, COMPUTER COMPONENTS, PARTS, AND PIECES, CABLES, ALL OF THAT GOOD STUFF.

AND SO WE'RE GOING TO GIVE THEM A SMALL AREA DOWN HERE IN THE BASEMENT TO BE ABLE TO WORK ON THAT.

SO WE'RE GOING TO GO AROUND OVER HERE.

THIS IS GOING TO BE, UM, OUR BREAK AREA.

AND SO WE HAVE INCLUDED TWO BREAK AREAS IN THIS BUILDING, ONE IN THE BASEMENT LEVEL.

AND ONE ON LEVEL TWO LEVEL ONE IS PRIMARILY WHERE OUR PUBLIC AREAS GOING TO BE.

AND SO WE DON'T WANT TO HAVE BREAK AREAS ON OUR ARE MOSTLY PUBLIC LEVEL, BUT WHERE WE HAVE OUR STAFF REALLY WORKING, WE'LL BE ABLE TO SERVICE EVERYBODY ON LEVELS ONE AND TWO OR TWO, I'M SORRY, AND THE BASEMENT AND THOSE THAT WORK ON LEVEL ONE CAN GO TO EITHER ONE.

SO WE'VE GOT, YOU KNOW, PLANNED IN HERE JUST SO YOU CAN VISUALIZE SOME, SOME, UH, SEATING IN HERE.

UM, AND SOME, YOU KNOW, UH, APPLIANCE AREAS SEEING REFRIGERATOR, THAT KIND OF STUFF.

UH, AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE BEEN, UH, REQUESTED THAT WE ADD A SLEEP ROOM IN AS AN ELEMENT TO THE, UM, EOC AND FIRE MARSHALL DEPARTMENT.

AND THEY NEED A QUIET SPACE.

THE BASEMENT IN THE CORNER SEEMS LIKE A PRETTY GOOD SPACE.

SO, UH, WE'VE ADDED A SLEEP ROOM IN HERE.

THIS IS, UH, THE BED SPACE IN HERE.

WE ALSO HAVE UNISEX RESTROOMS THAT WE'VE PLANNED AND OUR FIRE MARSHAL SPACE LOOKS LIKE THIS.

AND SO WE DO HAVE STILL, WE MAINTAIN THIS WALK-UP COUNTER THAT IS DOWN THERE CURRENTLY IN THE BASEMENT NOW.

AND SO YOU STILL WOULD MAINTAIN THIS AREA AND WE DO OFFER, UH, PLENTY OF, UH, WORKSTATIONS IN HERE.

WE'VE GOT AN INTERVIEW SPACE THAT CAN DOUBLE AS A SMALL CONFERENCE SPACE WHEN THEY'RE NOT USING IT FOR INTERVIEWS.

UH, AND THEN WE'VE BEEN, UH, ASKED THAT WE INCLUDE AN EOC OFFICE, UM, BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME, UH, COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THEM AND, AND YOU KNOW, SOME COLLABORATION.

UH, AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE OUR FIRE MARSHALL OFFICES THAT ARE INCLUDED IN HERE.

[00:40:01]

WE HAVE THREE OF THEM.

SO THIS FIRE MARSHAL SPACE, UH, FOUR IN TERMS OF OFFICE AND WORKSTATIONS ALLOWS FOR PLENTY OF GROWTH WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT AS, UH, THE DEPARTMENT SHOULD SORT OF FLEX AND GROW AS TIME GOES ON.

THEY ACTUALLY HAVE QUITE A BIT OF SPACE DOWN HERE, AND WE ALSO HAVE ACCOUNTED FOR A STORAGE ROOM AS WELL AS THEIR EVIDENCE SORT OF LOCKER AREA DOWN HERE.

SO, UH, IN A NUTSHELL, THEY'VE GOT PLENTY OF SPACE, ALBEIT THEY ARE THE ONLY DEPARTMENT THAT IS IN FACT, IN THE BASEMENT, THEY HAVE AMPLE SPACE FOR WHAT IT IS THAT THEY NEED.

WE DO PLAN ON MAINTAINING THESE COMMUNICATING STAIRS THAT, UH, WILL WORK BETWEEN THE BASEMENT AND LEVEL ONE.

SO THAT'S THE DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT, AND WE KNOW THAT THERE IS IN FACT A PARTNERSHIP THERE, AND WE DO LIKE FOR EVERYBODY TO STILL BE ABLE TO WORK COLLECTIVELY.

UM, SO AGAIN, THIS IS WHY WE'VE ARRANGED THEM AND PLANNED THEM IN THIS PARTICULAR SPACE.

DOES ANYBODY HAVE THOUGHTS OR FEELINGS? IS IT A LOT EASIER TO SEE NOW THAT YOU CAN SEE THE, UH, THE EVIDENCE ROOM? WHAT ABOUT COMBUSTIBLES? SO WE DON'T HAVE, SO THAT IS ACTUALLY STUFF THAT'S KEPT OUTSIDE CURRENTLY.

I, I BELIEVE THAT STUFF IS STILL OUT AT, UH, I THINK IT'S AT THE EOC.

I BELIEVE THEY'VE MOVED IT THERE, IT'S OUR UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE WILL BE A PLAN THAT WILL BE IN PLACE TO MAINTAIN THERE'S, UH, AN OFFGASSING SHED FOR SOME OF THAT.

AND THOSE KINDS OF THINGS HAVE TO BE KEPT OUTSIDE ANYWAY.

SO WE CAN'T PLAN THAT HERE, AND IT'S NOT ACTUALLY WHERE OUR FIRE MARSHALL IS CURRENTLY WORKING.

SO OUR HOPE IS THAT THEY WOULD MAINTAIN THAT, OR THEY WOULD PLAN IT IN ANOTHER LOCATION, BUT IN EITHER EVENT, WE CAN'T ACTUALLY HAVE IT IN THE PER HOUSE.

SO, ALL RIGHT.

SO IF WE MOVE TO LEVEL ONE, THERE ARE TWO ITERATIONS TO LEVEL ONE WITH A MINOR DIFFERENCE.

I WILL WALK THROUGH THEM QUICKLY, AND THEN THE REST WILL BE THE SAME FROM PAGE TO PAGE.

I KNOW WHY THIS IS WORKING THIS WAY.

OF LIGHT IN THIS PARTICULAR AREA.

SO HERE WE HAVE OUR DEVELOPMENT SERVICES AND OUR DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.

WE HAVE PLANNED IN THE SAME SPACE THAT WE HAD BEFORE, WHERE WE HAD, UH, TALKED WHERE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE OUR, UH, FIRE MARSHAL THAT ARE GOING TO BE DOWNSTAIRS ONE LEVEL.

UM, WE HAVE PLANNED FOR THERE TO BE A WALKUP WINDOW FOR OUR DEVELOPMENT SERVICES, WHICH THEY HAVE REQUESTED, AND THERE'LL BE A SMALL MEETING ROOM SPACE SO THAT PEOPLE PUBLIC MAY COME IN AND USE THIS MEETING SPACE ALONG WITH STAFF.

SO YOU CAN SEE WE'VE ADDED TWO DOORS HERE SO THAT YOU DON'T ACTUALLY HAVE TO HAVE THE PUBLIC COME BACK INTO THE, THE OFFICE SPACE.

UM, WE'VE GIVEN THEM A SUPPLY CLOSET, PLENTY OF SPACES FOR THEIR, UH, PRINTERS AND PLOTTERS.

UM, AND THEN WE HAVE GIVEN THEM OFFICES HERE ALONG THE PERIMETER OF THEIR SPACE.

WE HAVE PLANNED PLENTY OF WORKSTATIONS HERE, SO THEY DO HAVE MORE THAN THEY NEED CURRENTLY, AND THEY DO HAVE A ENOUGH SPACE FOR GROWTH.

SO WE WOULD JUST REARRANGE THE WORKSTATIONS HERE, AND YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO ADD STAFF IN AS YOU NEEDED TO SUPPORT.

SO LET ME TALK ABOUT A FINE ELEMENT OF THIS AREA.

THESE WINGS THAT ARE ON BOTH THE EAST AND WEST SIDE OF THE BUILDING HAVE WINDOWS.

THIS IS THE ONLY AREAS HERE THAT ACTUALLY HAVE WINDOWS.

SO THESE ARE THE EXTERIOR WALLS HERE.

SO THE, THE DIFFERENCE IN THE TWO PLANS, THE ITERATIONS THAT I'VE BROUGHT, JUST TO SHOW THE COURT THAT WE ARE IN FACT KIND OF THINKING THROUGH THIS, CAN, YOU KNOW, CONTINUING TO DO THIS, AND WE'LL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE DEPARTMENTS AS WE GET CLOSER TO OUR TRUE DESIGN HERE IS THAT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE REALLY MAXIMIZING THE LIGHT IN THIS BUILDING, BECAUSE THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.

IT'S ONE OF THE BEST FEATURES OF THIS MID-CENTURY BUILDING IS THAT WE ACTUALLY HAVE LOTS AND LOTS OF WINDOWS.

SO, YOU KNOW, TYPICAL TO MOST HISTORIC COURTHOUSES, WHERE THEY'RE VERY DARK AND THEY'RE OLD, AND THE WINDOWS ARE VERY SMALL.

THAT'S NOT WHAT WE HAVE HERE.

SO OUR DESIRE REALLY IS TO BRING IN AS MUCH LIGHT AS POSSIBLE IN BOTH WINGS ON BOTH FLOORS, WHERE WE HAVE THESE WINDOWS.

AND SO THIS IS SORT OF AN OLD FASHIONED WAY OF OFFICING, WHERE WE HAVE LOTS OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE OFFICES WHO MAY NOT NECESSARILY NEED OFFICES.

WE DO KNOW THAT ARE CERTAINLY PEOPLE WHO DON'T HAVE TO HAVE OFFICES WHO JUST HAPPENED TO BE IN OFFICES.

NOW WE DO KNOW THAT WORKSTATIONS ACTUALLY WORK JUST FINE FOR MANY OF THE DEPARTMENT DEPARTMENTAL NEEDS.

AND SO IN ANOTHER ITERATION OF THIS, YOU'LL SEE THAT TO MAINTAIN AS MUCH LIGHT AS WE CAN.

WE'VE REMOVED THE OFFICES AND PROVIDED MORE WORKSTATIONS.

SO THIS AREA IN FACT BECOMES A BIT MORE MODERN.

IT FLEXES BETTER OVER TIME, AND REALLY PROVIDES A LOT

[00:45:01]

SO THAT'S JUST A FEATURE THAT WE'RE KIND OF WORKING THROUGH.

AND WE THINK THAT THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO THE OVERALL PLANNING HERE, THE REST OF THE FLOOR HERE.

THERE'S NOT MUCH DIFFERENCE TO WHAT WE'VE SHOWN YOU IN THE PAST, BUT WE ARE REALLY EXCITED BECAUSE YOU CAN AGAIN SEE THE FURNITURE.

SO WE HAVE UPDATED SO THAT THERE IS NO LONGER A MEN AND WOMEN'S RESTROOM ON EITHER SIDE.

NOW IT'S, WE'RE HAVING A SINGULAR MEN'S AND A SINGULAR FEMALE RESTROOM ON EACH SIDE.

OKAY? SO OUR RESTROOMS ARE COMPLETELY RENOVATED.

WE GET OUR JANITOR CLOSET HERE AND OUR TAX OFFICE REALLY SINGS, RIGHT? SO YOU CAN SEE, WE'VE GOT LOADS OF TELLER STATIONS HERE, AND WE DO HAVE THE WORKSTATIONS THAT THEY REQUIRE FOR SOME OF THEIR TRAINING NEEDS.

THE SUPERVISOR NEEDS THAT HAVE TO SIT BEHIND THE TELLERS, AND EVERYBODY'S GOT A MUCH BETTER VIEW THAN THEIR CURRENT ARRANGEMENT.

WE GIVE THEM AMPLE SPACE FOR THEIR SUPPLY CLOSETS.

OUR BRANCH MANAGER GETS AN OFFICE.

OUR BOOKKEEPER GETS AN OFFICE.

OUR ACCOUNTING GETS AN OFFICE AND HERE'S OUR TAX ASSESSOR.

AND WE MAINTAIN WHEN WE OPEN UP THIS SPACE, NICE USE OF THE OVERALL FLOOR, WHERE PEOPLE CAN FLOW AROUND THIS CORE OF THE BUILDING, RIGHT? SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE PEOPLE KIND OF QUEUE THROUGH HERE AND WORK AROUND.

THEY'VE COME OUT HERE.

SO, AND HERE'S OUR FRONT DOORS.

SO WE ARE VERY EXCITED ABOUT HOW WE THINK THIS TAX OFFICE CAN WORK.

AND AS WE MOVE ALONG, OUR PLAN HERE, YOU DO SEE WE'VE PLANNED FOR INDIGENT HEALTH.

SO WE GET THEM TO WORKSTATIONS AND OFFICE.

THEY'VE GOT A, UH, ROOM FOR ALL OF THEIR COPY, PRINT NEEDS, THEIR FILING THAT THEY NEED.

WE'VE GOT OUR VETERAN SERVICES PLANNED HERE.

SO THERE'S AN OFFICE AND AN ADMIN SPACE.

AND THEN WE HAVE WHAT WE'VE DONE HERE IS WE'VE PLANNED SORT OF A, A WAITING, A SEATING AREA THAT PROVIDES BOTH THE INDIGENT HEALTH AND THE VETERAN SERVICES, AN AREA FOR THAT, THAT SERVICES BOTH NOW, SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT IN ONE OF OUR ITERATIONS THAT WE TALKED THROUGH YOU WITH THE LAST TIME I VISITED YOU GUYS WAS TALKING ABOUT HOW IN THE FUTURE, SHOULD YOU DECIDE TO MOVE VETERAN SERVICES OUT TO THE FARM, RIGHT? AND YOU WERE TO DECIDE TO PUT INDIGENT OUT AT A DIFFERENT LOCATION.

YOU COULD PUT IT AT A JP SITE, YOU COULD PUT IT AT, YOU KNOW, OUT AT THE FARM LOCATION AND CO-LOCATED IT WITH THE LIBRARY.

YOU COULD DO ANY NUMBER OF THINGS.

SHOULD YOU DECIDE TO DO THIS WITHIN THE NEXT 10 OR SO YEARS? THIS PROVIDES YOUR TAX OFFICE WITH ENOUGH SPACE TO GROW AS WE WOULD BEGIN TO MOVE THIS DIRECTION.

SO WE WOULD FIND WITHIN THE NEXT 10 YEARS, OTHER SPACES FOR THESE GROUPS AND THEN MOVE OUR TAX OFFICE, ALLOW IT TO GROW.

SO THERE'S A COUPLE OF WAYS THAT WE'VE REALLY THOUGHT ABOUT HOW TO BE ABLE TO RECONFIGURE THE SPACE.

UM, BUT WE CAN REALLY BEGIN TO KIND OF WORK IN KIND OF AN L-SHAPE HERE WITH OUR TELLERS.

IF WE WANTED TO DO THAT AND MOVE OUR OFFICES, UH, FURTHER OVER INTO THE WESTERN SECTION OF THIS BUILDING.

SO JUST THINGS TO THINK ABOUT, WE DO HAVE OPPORTUNITIES HERE.

HERE'S OUR WOMEN'S RESTROOM.

SO AGAIN, WE'VE REWORKED THE RESTROOMS. WE'VE GOT OUR VESTIBULE HERE, WHERE WE COME THROUGH AND WE'VE REWORKED THAT.

I BELIEVE IT'S SHORTENED JUST A LITTLE BIT.

WE'VE MOVED OUR MAIL ROOM HERE AND HERE IS YOUR BEAUTIFUL COMMISSIONER'S COURT AREA.

SO I WANT TO SHOW YOU HERE, WE'VE GOT YOUR MEETING ROOMS PLANNED IN THE BACK.

YOU'VE GOT YOUR DOOR COMING THROUGH INTO THE COURT AREA.

HERE'S YOUR RAMP COMING UP TO GET INTO THE SEATS.

AND THEN HERE IS THE FUN PODIUM AREA AND OUR AUDIENCE AREA HERE.

WE ALSO HAVE ADDED A DOOR FOR EGRESS.

WE HAVE TO DO THAT FOR FIRE BECAUSE ONE OF THE ISSUES THAT WE HAVE WITH THIS BUILDING IS BRINGING THINGS UP TO AN ADA AND FIRE CODE SPEC.

SO WE'VE DONE THAT HERE.

SO THIS ALSO ALLOWS YOU GUYS TO BE ABLE TO HAVE, YOU KNOW, THE FIRE EXIT THAT YOU NEED SHOULD ANYTHING HAPPEN OR AN EMERGENCY EXIT.

HOW DO YOU FEEL, DO YOU HAVE QUESTIONS? COMMENTS? I LOVE THE POTENTIAL EXPANSION FOR THE TAX OFFICE.

HAVING IT A LITTLE DARKER.

AND SO FINALLY WE HAVE OUR LEVEL TWO, AND AGAIN, THIS IS PRIMARILY INTERNAL COUNTY EMPLOYEES ON LEVEL TWO.

AND LET'S START HERE AT THE VERY BOTTOM.

WE HAVE A, OUR IT AREA HERE, YOU KNOW, OUR, IT FOLKS, THEY DON'T REALLY NEED LOTS OF WINDOWS.

UM, THEY'RE WORKING ON SCREENS AND THEY KIND OF LIKE

[00:50:01]

UM, SO, UM, WE HAVE FIGURED OUT THAT ONE OF THE BEST LOCATIONS THAT WE'VE GOT HERE IS TO PLACE THEM IN THIS WING.

AGAIN, REMEMBER, THIS IS THE EXTERIOR WALL HERE THAT WE HAVE.

SO THIS IS A WINDOW FREE ZONE.

UH, AND THIS WORKS WELL FOR THEM BECAUSE THEY DON'T NEED LOTS OF GLARE ON THOSE SCREENS WHEN THEY'RE TRYING TO GET IN AND DO THE THINGS THAT THEY'RE DOING.

SO WE'VE GIVEN THEM, UM, THE WORKSTATIONS THEY'VE IN THEIR SYSTEMS DEPARTMENT.

WE'VE GIVEN THE, THE, UH, DIRECTOR OF IT, AN OFFICE, AND THEY DO HAVE SOME WORKSTATIONS HERE.

AGAIN, SHOULD THE IT DEPARTMENT BEGIN TO EXPAND? WE CAN REARRANGE THE WORKSTATIONS IN HERE AND ADD ACCORDINGLY IF WE NEED TO, WE'VE RELOCATED THE COUNTY JUDGE UP ONTO THIS LEVEL TOO.

AND SO YOU DO SEE THAT THE, THE ENTRANCE TO THE COUNTY JUDGES OFFICE WOULD BE DIRECTLY OFF OF, UH, THE PRIMARY CORRIDOR HERE, WHICH WOULD BE THE ELEVATOR AND ALSO THE STAIRS.

SO WE HAVE AN ENTRY SORT OF WAITING AREA HERE.

WE'VE GOT THE COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE HERE, AND WE'VE GOT A NICE AMPLE OFFICE FOR THE JUDGE AS A REMINDER, THESE ARE OUR WINDOW WALLS HERE.

SO WE DO HAVE PLENTY OF LIGHT THAT COMES IN THROUGH THIS, UH, OFFICE AREA.

AND THIS IS THAT BREAK ROOM THAT I SPOKE OF WHERE YOU CAN COME IN, UH, ON LEVEL TWO, UH, FOR ALL OF THESE EMPLOYEES AND USE THIS SPACE.

WE'VE MIRRORED EXACTLY WHAT WE'VE DONE ON THE FIRST FLOOR ON THE SECOND FLOOR IN TERMS OF RESTROOMS. SO THE MEN'S AND WOMEN'S RESTROOMS MATCH AS WELL AS THE JANITOR CLOSETS.

AND I WANT YOU TO TAKE A LOOK HERE.

WE REALLY ARE WORKING WITH THE SYMMETRY OF THE OVERALL BUILDING.

THAT'S WHAT THIS BUILDING WAS PRIMARILY DESIGNED TO DO WAS HAVE LOTS OF SYMMETRIES SO THAT WE COULD KIND OF USE THINGS, UM, EQUALLY ON BOTH ONE, ONE SIDE OF THE BUILDING TO THE OTHER.

SO WE'VE RETURNED BACK TO THAT IN SOME OF THE DESIGN FEATURES THAT WE'VE DONE HERE.

SO WE'VE PROVIDED TO COMMISSIONER OFFICES AND THEY ARE, UH, NICELY SPACED.

AS YOU CAN SEE, WE HAVE, UH, ADMIN SPACE, UH, AND THE AREA FOR THE COMMISSIONER.

THIS IS WHERE THE WINDOWS ARE IN THIS PARTICULAR, UH, FLOOR.

SO YOU CAN SEE EVERYBODY HERE GETS LOTS OF NICE LIGHT.

UH, SO THERE SHOULD BE A REALLY NICE SPACE FOR THE COMMISSIONER AS DIRECTLY OFF OF THE FLOOR OR THE STAIRS COMING UP TO THE FLOOR.

AND AGAIN, EASY ACCESS TO THE ELEVATOR.

THE TREASURER HAS SPACE HERE, AND THIS IS AGAIN, ONE OF THOSE AREAS WHERE WE'VE TAKEN SOME LIBERTY AND SAID, THERE'S PROBABLY A DIFFERENT WAY TO WORK HERE.

NOT EVERYBODY NEEDS TO HAVE OFFICES.

WE CAN HAVE A COUPLE OF PEOPLE WHO MIGHT BE IN AN OFFICE, ACTUALLY USE A WORKSTATION INSTEAD.

SO WE'VE PROVIDED, UM, THREE OFFICES, OR I'M SORRY, TWO OFFICES AND THREE WORKSTATIONS HERE FOR THE TREASURER.

SO THAT ACTUALLY PROVIDES, UH, SOME SPACE FOR FUTURE GROWTH.

UH, ADDITIONALLY, IF YOU NEED TO CHANGE THE CONFIGURATION OF THE FURNITURE IN THE FUTURE, AGAIN, WE CAN DO THAT.

WE'VE GIVEN THEM A SPACE TO HAVE SORT OF INFORMAL MEETING SPACE, PLENTY OF STORAGE ROOM, ACCOUNTING ROOM, AND THEY'RE SAFE.

WE'VE GOT THREE DISTINCT CONFERENCE ROOMS THAT ARE SHARED THROUGH EVERYBODY IN THE BUILDING.

AND FRANKLY, EVERY ANYBODY IN THE COUNTY WHO NEEDS TO USE THEM CAN COME IN AND USE THESE FANTASTIC MEETING ROOMS, BECAUSE AS YOU KNOW, THEY'RE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN.

SO, UH, WE ALSO HAVE OUR PROGRAM MANAGERS SCHEDULED HERE, AND AGAIN, SHOULD THE PROGRAM MANAGER BE MOVED IN THE FUTURE? THIS ROOM CAN EITHER TAKE ON GROWTH FROM ANY DEPARTMENT HERE OR BE TRANSFORMED INTO A CONFERENCE ROOM.

SO YOU'D HAVE PLENTY OF CONFERENCE ROOMS. WE'VE GOT INFORMAL SEATING, WHICH WE THINK MAKES A NICE FEATURE SO THAT EVERYBODY CAN SORT OF HAVE A SEAT, TAKE A CALL AWAY FROM THEIR DESK IF THEY WANT, UH, AND ENJOY THE DAYLIGHT COMING IN THROUGH HERE ON THE LEVEL TWO, WE'VE GOT OUR HR OFFICE, THAT'S SCHEDULED TO HAVE PLENTY OF SPACE.

WE HAVE PROVIDED TWO OFFICES, TWO WORKSTATIONS, BUT AGAIN, THERE'S LOTS OF SPACE TO GROW IN THIS SUITE.

SO THEY'VE GOT AN INFORMAL MEETING SPACE AND PLENTY OF AREA FOR THEIR FILES.

BUT AGAIN, ALL OF THIS IS DESIGNED TO BE ABLE TO FLEX IN THE FUTURE.

AND DOWN HERE, THIS IS MY FAVORITE PART OF OUR DESIGN.

THIS IS WHAT I LIKE TO CALL THE KEY.

AND SO WE HAVE, UH, PROVIDED TWO DISTINCT DEPARTMENTS, BOTH THE AUDITOR AND PURCHASING AND FACILITIES WITH THEIR OWN AREAS.

SO WE'VE GIVEN THEM EACH FOUR OFFICES AND LOTS OF, UH, SPACE ALONG THE WINDOWS FOR ALL OF THEIR WORKSTATIONS TO BE ABLE TO HOUSE

[00:55:01]

PEOPLE.

AND AGAIN, THESE SPACES FLEX AND CAN BE ARRANGED AS STAFF NEEDS GROW.

SO YOU CAN LOOK AT THE OVERALL CEMETERY WE'VE GOT GOING HERE, BUT WE HAVE IN FACT, HIT THE MARK AND HIT EVERY, GOTTEN EVERYBODY INTO ALL THREE LEVELS OF THIS BUILDING.

AND WE'VE MADE A COUPLE OF MINOR ADJUSTMENTS HERE AND THERE FROM OUR LAST ITERATION, BUT WITH THIS FURNITURE, I THINK IT'S, IT'S REALLY SOMETHING ELSE TO SEE.

SO WITH ALL OF THAT, THAT BEING SAID, I WANT TO PASS IT OVER TO MY COLLEAGUE, CARLOS, AND I WANT HIM TO TALK THROUGH, UH, SOME OF THE FINER DETAILS OF SOME SORT OF THE MEP REQUIREMENTS AND THE HVAC, ALL THAT GOOD STUFF.

THANK YOU, HILLARY, HOW MUCH YOU, THE JUDGE, COULD WE HEAR TODAY? UM, JUST TO INTERJECT AND ADD, UH, SOME OF THE, UH, ADDITIONAL ITEMS THAT, THAT, THAT, THAT I WANTED TO TELL YOU THAT WE ACTUALLY WENT INTO WHY WE WERE DESIGNING THIS IS TO MAINTAIN A REALLY COST EFFECTIVE, UH, RENOVATION.

AND CONSIDERING THE FACT THAT, YOU KNOW, WE BROUGHT THE TEAM FROM GALLAGHER AND BE ABLE TO LOOK AT THE BUILDING AND SEE WHAT WERE THE BEST WAYS TO REALLY MAKE SENSE AS WE'RE DOING A RENOVATION.

UH, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE DISCOVERED THROUGH THE YEARS IS THAT, UM, IT IS A LOT, UM, COST-EFFECTIVE TO TEAR OUT MOST OF THE WALLS AND RELATE THEM OUT, EVEN THOUGH SOME WALLS MAY BE PLACED IN THE SAME LOCATION, THEN TRYING TO PROTECT THOSE WALLS AND TRY TO PATCH IN AND TRY TO MATCH IT.

SO SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE GOT FROM GALA, AND I THINK THEY WERE, WERE VERY GOOD, UH, POINTERS THAT WE TRY TO IMPLEMENT HERE TOO, AT THE SAME TIME, UH, WHEN WE LOOK AT THE HBC SYSTEM, UH, THE FACT IS THAT WE HAVE A NICE 120 TON CHILLER ON THE ROOF AND IS THOSE THINGS ARE EXPENSIVE.

UH, AND IT HASN'T BEEN USED.

IT HASN'T GONE HIS LIFE.

SO WE'RE REUSING THAT UNIT TO SAY COST, AND WHICH IS WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO.

WE STILL GOING TO DO, UM, ALL THE DUCT WORK, AND THAT IS UNDERNEATH AS WE ARE TEARING EVERYTHING OUT NOW, IT'S GOING TO GO AWAY, BUT WE'LL BE ABLE TO USE THE MAIN UNIT.

THERE'S PROBABLY A BOILER, UH, ON THE BASEMENT THAT WE STILL USE THAT FOR WATER HEATER, FOR DOMESTIC WATER.

UM, AND IT MAY BE A PUMP OR TWO, UH, THE ONES THAT WERE ACTUALLY THAT'S STILL USABLE.

SO THOSE ARE THE KINDS OF THINGS THAT WE TRY TO PEAK IN AND BE ABLE TO USE THEM.

SO WE DON'T SPEND MONEY ON THOSE KINDS OF EQUIPMENTS.

AS FAR AS DUCT WORK IS GOING TO BE NEEDED, WOULD TURN EVERYTHING OUT IS AS MUCH WORTH HAVING A NICER SET OF DUCT WORK, EVEN FOR PIPING, EVEN FOR THE, UM, THE ROOFTOP, UH, I'M SORRY, FOR THE ROOF, A ROOF DRAINS.

THE OTHER THING IS, UH, THAT, UH, HERE DIMENSION IS THAT WE ARE RE ROOFING.

UH, THE BUILDING, UH, IS DEFINITELY MENTIONED THE NEED IT, UH, THE ROOTS THAT IT HAS BEEN, UH, BUBBLING AND STUFF.

AND THE INSTALLATION THAT WAS ON THE ORIGINAL IS VERY SMALL.

SO WE WERE ABLE TO, UM, UPGRADE THAT TO CODE COMPLIANT.

UM, ONE LAST THING IS THAT, UM, AND WE MAKE TALK TO THAT AS AN ALTERNATE.

UM, I REALLY, UH, REALLY AIMING TO REALLY CONSIDER THE REPLACEMENT OF THE WINDOWS.

UM, HOWEVER, THE SYSTEM THAT WE HAVE PRICED ON IS INCLUDED TO SUPPORT EVEN THE LACK OF, UH, INSTALLATION THAT WE'RE GETTING FROM THE EXISTING WINDOWS.

HOWEVER, THE SYSTEM DOES NOT HAVE ANY REDUNDANCY, UH, BY BEING ABLE TO REPLACE THIS WINDOWS, UH, THROUGHOUT, UH, IT CAN SAVE UP TO 30 TONS OF, UM, HPAC SYSTEM.

UH, NOW, IF WE EVER WILL DO THAT, NOT NUMBER ONE, WE'LL BE ABLE TO HAVE A BETTER CONDITION PERFORMANCE BUILDING, BUT ALSO THAT WE CAN STILL MAINTAIN THAT SAME SYSTEM AND THAT WILL BECOME MORE REDUNDANCY, UM, FOR THE BUILDING.

UM, OTHER THAN THAT, I THINK WE HAVE, UH, WE HAVE DONE OUR DUE DILIGENCE TO MAKE THE BEST REMODEL WITH THE COST CONSCIOUS MIND AS WE'RE WORKING ON.

SO I'LL KIND OF HAND IT OVER TO GALLAGHER TO GIVE US SOME, SOME OF THE NUMBERS.

AND NOW YOU'RE GOING TO REWIRE THE BUILDING, RIGHT? YES.

IT WAS, THIS IS PRETTY ANTIQUATED TO THE WIRING.

YUP.

YES, SIR.

GOT THE ORIGINAL BREAKER BOX.

THOSE THINGS HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO CAUSE FIRES FOR A LOT OF YEARS NOW AT THE DINOSAUR.

AS WE DID WITH THOSE, UM, UNDERSTANDING.

SO THE FUN PART, WHAT DOES ALL THIS COST, UM, HOPEFULLY YOU'VE HAD A CHANCE TO KINDA KIND OF LOOK THROUGH THIS.

I DON'T, I DON'T HAVE A LEAD THE PRESENTATION HERE OTHER THAN JUST, UH, UH, THIS FORMAT YOU'VE SEEN FROM US BEFORE, UH, WHEN WE'VE COME IN WITH PREVIOUS BUDGETS ON OTHER JOBS, UM, WE'VE TAKEN THE SAME APPROACH WITH THIS

[01:00:01]

AND I KNOW YOU DO, IT'S EARLY ON, UH, EVEN THOUGH HOK IS, UH, PROVIDED INFORMATION FOR US.

WE'VE TRIED TO TAKE THAT MOSTLY WITH HISTORICAL DATA.

UM, WE'VE DONE SOME INTERNAL BUDGETING ON OUR OWN WITH, WITH TRYING TO QUANTIFY THINGS AS BEST WE COULD AT THIS STAGE.

UH, YEAH, THIS, THIS IS FINE.

UM, WE DID, BASED ON THE LAST COUPLE OF THINGS CARLOS WAS TALKING ABOUT, WHICH WAS THE MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL, UH, WE DID REACH OUT TO A COUPLE OF CONTRACTORS, SOME THAT ARE ON CURRENT PROJECTS FOR US, AS WE SPEAK FOR YOU GUYS, UM, HAD THEM MEET US OUT THERE, GO LOOK AT THE EXISTING SYSTEMS, UM, AND TRY TO GET A MORE ACCURATE BUDGET.

UM, WITH THOSE PARTICULAR ISLANDS, HPAC, PLUMBING, AND ELECTRICAL.

UH, THE OTHER ITEMS YOU SEE HERE AS WE'VE DISTRIBUTED, AND WON'T GO IN INTO THE WEEDS OF EVERY LINE ITEM, BUT THESE ARE ITEMS, UH, YOU MIGHT OR MIGHT NOT REMEMBER HIM.

HE'S, HE'S WORKED ON OTHER PROJECTS HERE FOR YOU GUYS.

HE DID THE TAKEOFF ON THIS.

HE WASN'T ABLE TO ATTEND TODAY, BUT, UM, HE SPENT SOME TIME QUANTIFYING AND, AND IDENTIFYING COSTS FOR EACH OF THESE LINE ITEMS. UM, JUST TO FLIP DOWN TO THE BOTTOM LINE, UH, WHERE WE SEE THE TOTAL PROJECT RIGHT NOW, AND WE CALL THIS A ROUGH ORDER OF MAGNITUDE PRICING, RIGHT? THERE'S NOTHING MORE DIFFICULT RIGHT NOW IN THE MARKET WE'RE IN AND TRYING TO DETERMINE BUDGETS, BUT, UM, IT'S GOTTEN VERY, VERY, VERY DIFFICULT.

WE SEE THE JOB SOMEWHERE AROUND THE EIGHT FOR 8.4 MILLION, UM, WEAVING WE'VE INCLUDED SOME INFLATION, I THINK, DURATION FROM WHERE YOU GUYS ARE TODAY TO WHEN DOCUMENTS WILL BE READY TO BID.

UM, MAYBE AROUND THE FIRST QUARTER OF 23, UH, WE'VE TRIED TO INFLATE AND INCLUDE SOME OF THAT ESCALATION IN THESE NUMBERS AS WE SPEAK.

AND THEN YOU SEE DOWN BELOW, IF IT EXTENDS OUT TO FIRST QUARTER OR SECOND QUARTER, THIRD QUARTER THAN WE'VE HAD, WE'VE INCLUDED SOME INFLATION TO ACCOMMODATE FOR THAT AS WELL.

UM, WE DID GIVE AN ALTERNATE.

IT'S NOT INCLUDED IN THAT EIGHT FOR, UM, FOR REPLACING THE EXTERIOR GLAZING SYSTEM.

UM, WE HAD AN INDIVIDUAL COME OUT AND LOOK AT THAT AS WELL.

UM, SO WE THINK WE'VE GOT, WE'VE GOT A NUMBER THERE THAT COULD ACCOMMODATE THAT.

WELL, I WAS STILL THE, ON THE, ON THERE LAYING HEAD WHEN THE 10 NAMED TALKING ABOUT WINDOW REPLACEMENT.

UM, I MEAN, THERE'S SOMETHING THERE.

THAT'S PROBABLY NOT, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW.

UM, SO WHERE ARE WE, WHAT ARE WE THINKING THAT IT'D BE BETTER TO REPLACE THE WINDOWS? EXCELLENT.

ABSOLUTELY.

YEAH, PROBABLY FROM A CALL FROM MY ENERGY DOWN THE ROAD.

LONG TERM.

YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.

CAUSE IT DIDN'T THE HANDLE AND WHEN THE PRICE, YOU KNOW, IT'S EARLY, I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH I KNOW WHEN DON WITH WHAT'S THERE, OTHER THAN WE'VE WE'VE HAD A GUY COME OUT, JUST TAKE A LOOK AT IT.

WE JUST KIND OF TALK THROUGH WHAT SOME POSSIBILITIES MIGHT BE.

I THINK I'VE MENTIONED BEFORE IN THE TEAM, THE, THE GLASS ITSELF HAS NO, NO R VALUE WHATSOEVER.

AND, UH, IT'S LIKE, IT'S LIKE PRETTY MUCH BEING OUTSIDE OF THAT.

THEN THE AIR IS BEING CONTAINED AND IT WAS MEANT FOR EVEN OPERABLE WINDOWS TO LET AIR IN, BUT THIS IS NOT THE WAY WE DO BUILD THIS DOW DAYS.

UH, IF WE WERE TO REPLACE THIS, IT WILL BE SOMETHING THAT KIND OF MIMICS THE SAME LOOK, THERE WILL NOT BE OPERABLE WINDOWS.

SO IT'S JUST GOING TO BE LIKE A KIND OF LIKE REALLY UPGRADED BUILDING.

AND IT WILL BE AN INSULATED GLASS THAT ACTUALLY GIVES US A REALLY GOOD PERFORMANCE.

CAN I, IT MAY, MAYBE GALLAGHER NEEDS TO BE WILLING TO TALK ABOUT THE, WE DON'T KNOW ABOUT ASBESTOS.

THAT'S THE QUESTION MARK, OR IS THAT A FOR SURE DEAL OR I DON'T THINK WE KNOW YET.

I DON'T KNOW THAT THE SURVEY HAS BEEN DONE.

UM, I TELL YOU THAT THEY, THE DRAMA WORLD THAT AS FAR AS I WAS ABLE TO FIND THAT WAS AS BEST AS REMOVED FOR SOME OF THE, UH, FLOORING IN SOME OF THE AREAS, BUT FROM THE HISTORY THAT I, I WAS NOT ABLE TO UNDERSTAND THAT YOU HAD TO DO WITH AREAS THAT WERE REPAIRED DUE TO FLOODING.

SO I COULDN'T GET A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING THAT EVERYTHING WAS REMOVED.

UM, IT MIGHT'VE BEEN, BUT IT, IT MIGHT BE A GOOD, A GOOD TIME TO JUST TO DOUBLE CHECK AND MAKE SURE THAT HE HAD DEFINITELY SUGGEST THAT WE GET A SURVEY DONE, SOMEONE COMING IN AND DO A REVIEW.

I MEAN, BECAUSE WE KNOW IT'S PROBABLY ON THE PIPES AND THINGS, I CAN'T METAL MEAN THAT'S NOT A MAJOR.

IT WAS MORE MOSTLY FOUND ON, ON THE GLUE FOR THE TILE AND SOME OF THE PLASTER ON THE, ON SOME OF THE CEILINGS.

UM, SO, AND A LOT OF THAT WAS REMOVED DURING

[01:05:02]

THE EARLIER YEARS WHEN THE FLOODING HAPPENED.

UH, WELL, I MEAN, IF YOU GOT UP, IF YOU HAVE A BASEMENT AND YOU HAVE BOILERS AND YOU HAVE ALL THIS AND THEY HAVE ALL THE SEWER GOES TO THE BASEMENT AND YOU HAVE, I MEAN, SOMETIMES IT MAKES YOU WONDER WHY EVERYBODY WANTS TO PUT DOCUMENTS AND DIFFERENT THINGS IN THE BASEMENT.

CAUSE YOU ALWAYS KNOW THAT THERE'S A RISK THAT YOU'RE GOING TO PUT ALL THESE DOCUMENTS AND, YOU KNOW, I T'S IN THE, THEY OWN, THE STORAGE IS IN THE BASEMENT AND IT MAKES YOU WONDER THAT WE NEED THAT KIND OF STUFF IN THE BASEMENT WHERE WE KEEP THINGS UP.

I MEAN, THAT'S JUST A QUICK GLANCE.

I MEAN, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO LOOK AT THIS A LITTLE MORE, BUT I MEAN, IT'S YOUR UNDERSTANDING WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT BECAUSE FIRST TIME LOOKING AT SOMETHING I CAN'T, I CAN'T JUST JUMP UP AND DOWN WITH JOY YET.

I MEAN, WE'RE SATISFIED WITH WHAT WE'RE GOING TO SEE.

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT EVERYBODY ELSE, BUT I MEAN, THAT'S JUST ME, IT TAKES ME A LITTLE BIT OF TIME THINKING ABOUT IT.

AND THEN OF COURSE WE, WE, WE STILL HAVE SOME TIME BECAUSE WE'RE NOT QUITE THRILLED WITH THE JUSTICE CENTER AND WE HAVEN'T QUITE MOVING AND WE HAVEN'T QUITE DONE THAT.

WE MIGHT BE ALL THE WAY TO JANUARY, BUT IT'S THE SAME ENEMY.

ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN.

AND WE DON'T KNOW WHERE WE ARE.

SO THE FOURTH QUARTER MIGHT NOT BE REALLY ENFORCED.

CORN MIGHT BE THE FIRST QUARTER MIGHT BE NEXT YEAR.

UM, SO YEAH, SO I THINK REALLY IN LOOKING AT THESE NUMBERS AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE CONCEPT HERE, WHAT WE'RE REALLY DRIVING AT IS YOU GUYS HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO REALLY COME INTO A MOMENT WHEN YOU ARE DOING THIS RENOVATION TO BE REALLY RESPONSIBLE IN TERMS OF EFFICIENCY AND, UH, YOU KNOW, THE OVERALL COST WITH THE BUILDING AND THOSE KINDS OF THINGS.

WE REALLY WANT IT TO BE ABLE TO FUNCTION WELL, MOVING INTO THE FUTURE.

UM, AND SO, YOU KNOW, OUR TWO FIRMS ARE REALLY LOOKING AT IT FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE.

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WHEN YOU GUYS ARE SPENDING THIS KIND OF MONEY ON A RENOVATION, THAT YOU'RE NOT ONLY GETTING SOMETHING THAT WORKS FOR TODAY, BUT WE'RE REALLY LOOKING AT A FUTURE INVESTMENT.

AND SO I THINK WE'RE, WE'RE, WE'RE PRETTY FAIR IN OUR, IN OUR LOOK AT THE NUMBERS AND JUST A CONCEPT.

SO A FURNITURE IS REALLY JUST MEANT TO HELP ILLUSTRATE SORT OF HOW THINGS GET LAID OUT, BUT THIS ISN'T THE FINAL DESIGN.

SO AGAIN, YOU KNOW, WE, THIS IS JUST SOMETHING TO HELP ILLUSTRATE SO THAT WE CAN FURTHER THE CONVERSATION BECAUSE I THINK WE'RE IN A REALLY GOOD SPOT WHERE YOU GUYS ARE POSITIONED TO BE ABLE TO MAKE SOME REALLY GOOD DECISIONS ABOUT WHAT THIS PROJECT REALLY MEANS FOR THE COUNTY MOVING FORWARD AND AS WELL AS, UH, FROM A FINANCIAL PERSPECTIVE, YOU KNOW, FOR YOUR, YOUR ROI, RIGHT.

UM, ONE THING THAT I WANT TO INTERJECT AND ADD TO THAT IS THAT WE ARE RIGHT ON THE PERFECT TIMELINE TO GET THIS DONE.

UM, THE JUSTICE CENTER BEING COMPLETED, EVERYBODY'S MOVING OUT OF THE, UH, JUST, I MEAN THE, FROM THE COURTHOUSE INTO THE NEW BUILDING AND IT'S GONNA ALLOW US THAT WINDOW THAT WE CAN.

AND BY THAT POINT, WE'LL BE ABLE TO HAVE THOSE DOCUMENTS READY AND FORBIDDING AND BE ABLE TO GET THAT GOING.

UM, I DON'T THINK THIS QUITE THOSE OPPORTUNITIES VERY EASY.

YOU JUST HAVE TO KIND OF LEAVE SPACE OR KIND OF WORK WITH THAT RIGHT NOW.

WE'RE STILL IN TIME TO DO THAT.

OH, UM, I KNOW YOU TALKED ABOUT REUSING THE BORDER CAUSE THAT'S IN THE BASE OF MY RIDE.

UH, BUT THE CHILLER, YOU KNOW, IS A KEY THING SINCE IT'S ON THE ROOF, IT'S ACCESSIBLE.

SO IT'S A USED BORE AND WE PUT $10 MILLION IN SOMETHING.

HOW ARE WE GOING TO GET, I MEAN, IS IT A PROBLEM TO GET A NEW BORDER DOWN WHEN THAT ONE GOES OUT? I'M JUST TRYING TO SAY, IF WE CAN'T AFFORD IT, WHY NOT JUST GO AHEAD AND REPLACE EVERYTHING WHILE YOU'VE GOT EVERYTHING TORE OUT.

INSTEAD OF TRYING TO, I THINK ON SOME OF THOSE ITEMS WE'VE REALLY LOOKED AT AND SEE THE VALUE OF THEM.

SO MAYBE THAT, THAT BORDER MAY BE WORTH THE 30 YEARS AND MAYBE BEING USED UP TO 10 KIND OF THING.

AND THE SAME THING WITH THE CHILLER, THE CHILLER CAN HAVE STILL 30 YEARS MODEL THE WORK AND HAS BEEN 10 YEARS OLD.

SO ONLY THOSE SPECIFIC ITEMS, NOT EVERYTHING WE TRY TO KEEP, UM, SO ON FOR THAT ONE BREAK OVER POINT, BUT WELL, THE TAYLOR'S EVEN GOING TO WORK BETTER BECAUSE WHEN YOU TEAR IT ALL OUT, ALL THE DUCT WORK WORK A LOT BETTER, YOU KNOW, MORE EFFICIENT THAT'S SET UP.

NOW WE ALREADY KNOW THAT.

I MEAN, THIS IS , THIS WAS JUST OUT OF THE FIRST, THE POINT.

I MEAN, THAT'S SOMETHING CONSIDER THE CHILLERS ON THE ROOF, SO IT'S EASY ACCESSIBLE, BUT THEY'RE DOWNSTAIRS FROM NOW.

SO THERE'S ACCESS TO GIVE THEM, YOU KNOW, THROUGH THE AIRWAYS, THEY GOT AN OUTSIDE DOOR THAT DROPS DOWN IN A LOT OF YOUR BOILERS NOWADAYS ARE A LOT SMALLER, MORE ENERGY EFFICIENT.

THAT MIGHT BE THE OTHER THING THE ENGINEER'S GOING TO LOOK AT IS THE EFFICIENCY OF THE BOILER.

[01:10:01]

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YEAR THE MOWER WAS.

ACTUALLY.

I DON'T KNOW.

I MEAN, I KNOW THAT IT HASN'T BEEN IN THE LAST 10 YEARS, BUT I MEAN, I DON'T, I DON'T REMEMBER.

AND THAT'S THE OTHER ASPECT TOO, LIKE HE SAID, WITH THE WINDOWS, YOU KNOW, THE THEY'RE DESIGNING THE SYSTEM BASED ON THE OLD WINDOWS, BUT YOU'RE ALSO HAVE YOU REPLACED THE WINDOW, THE EFFICIENCIES INCREASE TREMENDOUSLY.

I THINK YOU SAID, THEY'RE SAYING AROUND 30%.

SO THAT WOULD BE A KEY REASON TO TRY TO REPLACE THE WINDOWS IF POSSIBLE.

AND WE JUST DON'T KNOW NUMBER ON THAT.

THAT MIGHT BE SCARY.

WE MIGHT NOT WANT TO KNOW THAT.

WELL, THAT WAS A, THEY HAD A ROUGH ORDER OF MAGNITUDE MILLION.

UH, IT WOULDN'T BE HARD TO FIGURE THE, NO, LET'S FIGURE OUT THE VALUE OF THAT.

JUST FIGURE IF YOU'RE SAVING 30% ON YOUR ENERGY, JUST FIGURE OUT WHAT YOUR ENERGY COSTS ARE AND SEE WHAT THE PAYOUT IS FLAT.

SO THEN THE ENGINEER KNOWS THAT THEY'RE GOING TO REPLACE THE WINDOWS.

THAT MAY BE A FACTOR IN THE DESIGN OF THE SYSTEM DESIGN.

AS I SAID, AT THIS POINT, THE WAY HE CALCULATED IT, UM, HE, I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE, THE SYSTEM WAS GOING TO SUPPORT KEEPING THE WINDOWS THAT WE WILL HAVE THEM.

SO IT'S MAKING THE SYSTEM WORK HARDER, BUT HE'S CAPABLE OF HANDLING IT.

UH, NOW WE NORMALLY ALSO HAVE A REDUNDANCY ON THE SYSTEMS, UH, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE THAT, THAT HELPS ON THE SYSTEM TO LAST LONGER.

WE DIDN'T DO THAT.

UH, THE ALTERNATIVE HERE IS THAT YOU WOULD DO THIS WITH THE WINDOWS THAT BECOMES YOUR YEAH.

YOUR REDUNDANCY OR YOUR, YOUR EXCESS AVAILABILITY.

UM, WELL, I MEAN, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT, I MEAN, I'M LOOKING AT THESE NUMBERS THAT YOU GUYS GIVE US ON THE CHANGING PRICES.

UM, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE, ABOUT HOW THINGS ARE ESCALATING.

SO THE LONGER WE WAIT, THE MORE IT COSTS AND WE DO HAVE THIS TIMING ISSUE.

I MEAN, ONE OF THE THINGS ABOUT MOVING ALL THESE PEOPLE AROUND, UM, WHEN THAT BUILDING IS EMPTY, THAT'S GOING TO BE THE IDEAL TIME, WHICH THAT BUILDING WILL BE EMPTY AND NOT THREE MONTHS.

UM, SO THAT'S A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY TO GET THAT, TO TRY TO GET THAT THING GOING INSTEAD OF, I DON'T KNOW, BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING FOR PLACES TO PUT PEOPLE THERE'S NO TIME, LIKE THE PRESENT, LIKE I'VE BEEN SAYING.

AND THE ONLY, I MEAN, IT WOULD BE MINIMAL, UH, RELOCATION SORT OF TEMPORARY RELOCATION, RIGHT.

OF ANYBODY IN THAT BUILDING, IF WE WERE ABLE TO GET THINGS SORT OF OFTEN RUNNING RIGHT AWAY, PRIMARILY YOUR OFFICE, THAT WOULD BE IT, THAT WILL BE, IT WILL BUILDING WILL HAVE BEEN VACATED AT THAT POINT.

SO IT REALLY YOU'LL HAVE A TOTALLY EMPTY BUILDING THERE ON YOUR HANDS AT WORK.

I'LL GO A LOT FASTER.

ABSOLUTELY.

I DON'T BELIEVE WE'LL MOVE IN AND BUY INTO IT UNTIL WE WORK ON IT.

I MEAN, I KNOW NO POINT, MAN, YOU WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO, AND PEOPLE WON'T JUST SAYING, YEAH, WE'RE NOT DOING THAT.

SO I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT THAT.

AND YOU KNOW, THE LAST TIME Y'ALL CAME, WE ASKED Y'ALL, IF Y'ALL HAD BEEN WORKING WITH THE TEXAS HISTORICAL COMMISSION COMING OUT THIS TIME, I KNOW WE HAD ONE MEETING PRESUME THAT I ACTUALLY WATCHED.

Y'ALL GONNA REACT.

AND, UH, SO I GUESS YOU MADE THE COMMENT THAT Y'ALL HAD BEEN KEY TO STAYING IN TOUCH WITH THESE PEOPLE.

SO WHAT IS THE PROCESS THAT WE HAVE TO DO TO LET THEM LOOK AT THE PLANS AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF HAVE Y'ALL ALREADY SET ALL THAT UP BECAUSE IS A 180 DAY TIMELINE I THINK IS WHAT THEY'VE GOT TO, TO REVIEW THE PLANS.

SO IT'S A LITTLE, I UNDERSTAND.

THERE'S, THERE'S A LOT OF, YOU KNOW, I DON'T THINK I'M SAYING THAT THEY CAN TELL YOU WHAT YOU CAN OR CANNOT DO, BUT I THINK THERE'S A PROCESS THAT WE HAVE TO DO AND YOU HAVE TO COMMUNICATE WITH THEM WHAT COMES OUT OF THOSE COMMUNICATIONS? I DON'T KNOW.

AND I KNOW THERE'S ALL KINDS OF LEGAL OPINIONS AND EVERYTHING ELSE, BUT I'M NOT ONE JUST TO TRY THAT WE'VE ALREADY BEEN PUSHING BACK WITH HIM FOR 10 YEARS OR WHATEVER OR LONGER.

AND WE GOT TOGETHER AND WE TALKED AND THE LAST TIME Y'ALL SAID Y'ALL HAD BEEN COMMUNICATING WITH THEM.

SO IF YOU'VE BEEN COMMUNICATING WITH THERE, SHOULDN'T BE NOTHING NEW.

NO, NO, ACTUALLY WHAT HAPPENED IS THAT WE COULDN'T GET BACK WITH THEM BECAUSE THE CONCEPT CHANGED.

SO I THINK IT DEPENDS OUT OF TODAY IF WE ARE HAVING THE GREEN LIGHT TO MOVE FORWARD, I THINK THAT'S THE FIRST THING THAT WE'RE GETTING INTO, MAKING SURE THAT THEY ARE ON THE SAME PAGE WITH US AND BE ABLE TO WALK THEM THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAN AND THE REASONS WHY WE'RE DOING WHAT WE'RE DOING AND

[01:15:01]

THAT WHAT WILL MOVE.

AND HE MIGHT BE ALL KOSHER, BUT I THINK YOU STILL HAVE TO PRESENT THE FOREST NATURE PLANS TO THEM.

YEP.

AND WORKING OUT YOUR BUGS.

AND I THOUGHT THE WHOLE REASON FOR THE ZOOM WAS TO KIND OF STAY IN COMMUNICATION THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE PROCESS.

SO Y'ALL ARE GOING TO TAKE CARE OF THAT.

SO OUR, IF WE'RE, IF WE'RE, WHICH I THINK WE ARE SORT OF IN THAT 90TH PERCENTILE OF BEING KIND OF IN AGREEMENT OF THE CONCEPT HERE, I THINK IT'S A GOOD TIME TO THEN SHARE WITH THEM.

BUT AS IT WAS, AS WE WERE SORT OF FLEXING AS TO EXACTLY WHAT THE USE OF THE BUILDING WAS AND HOW MUCH OF IT, AND WHERE ARE WE GOING TO USE IT, THOSE KINDS OF THINGS, WE DIDN'T HAVE MUCH TO SHOW THEM UNTIL WE HAD A BIT MORE UNDERSTANDING.

SO I, IT SOUNDS LIKE BECAUSE THEY'VE REACHED OUT TO ME TO FIND OUT, YEAH, I WAS INVOLVED WITH THE ZOOM CALL WITH Y'ALL RIGHT.

KIND OF WHERE THEY'RE AT, KIND OF GIVE THEM AN UPDATE WHAT'S GOING ON.

SO AS I SAID, I THINK THIS IS THE TIME TO GET HIM HUMBLE.

UM, IF WE WOULD HAVE HAD THE CONVERSATION THAT WE HAD ON THE PREVIOUS CONCEPT, IT WOULD HAVE MADE NO SENSE ANYMORE BECAUSE WE'RE DOING A DIFFERENT CONCEPT.

SO WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ALL WERE IN AGREEMENT ON THE DIRECTION WE'RE HEADING AND THE BEST FOR THE COUNTY.

AND THEN WE CAN GO WITH THEM.

AND THEN THE REASONS WHY WE'RE GOING THIS DIRECTION, 'CAUSE I, I THINK Y'ALL HAD ACTUALLY TALKED ABOUT CERTAIN SPECIFIC THINGS, NOT STRUCTURALLY, BUT SOME CORRIDORS OR SOMETHING.

IT WAS, TO ME, IT SEEMED PRETTY A SIMPLE REQUEST THAT THEY WERE TRYING TO WORK WITH.

Y'ALL KNOWING THAT SOMETHING HAD TO BE DONE TO THE BUILDING, YOU KNOW? SO IT WAS, WELL, SO I GUESS THE QUESTION THEN YOU USE THAT NUMBER.

I THINK IT SEEMS TO ME LIKE AT THIS POINT WE MUST BE 90% OF THE WAY THERE, WHICH WOULD SET YOU LOSE TO TALK TO THE HISTORICAL COMMISSION.

I FEEL CONFIDENT THAT WE WOULD BE ABLE TO HAVE A PRETTY PRODUCTIVE CONVERSATION WITH THEM AT THIS POINT.

IT SEEMS LIKE THERE'S ENOUGH CONSENSUS HERE, AT LEAST I THINK SO WE'RE KIND OF IN THE MAYBE 90TH PERCENT OF REMIT OF THE OVERALL FUNCTION AND KIND OF THE CONCEPT OF THE BUILDING AND HOW WE'RE GOING TO FIT INTO THE BUILDING.

SO IS IT, DOES ANYBODY NOT THINK WE HAVE A CONSENSUS ON THAT? WELL, I'VE SAID BEFORE AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN IS SEVERAL YEARS AGO, BACK WHEN HERE THE DELL FOLKS GOT TO GET IT AT THE BANK, WHENEVER THEY FIRST RUMORS STARTED GOING AROUND ABOUT GETTING RID OF THE HANDBAGS AND ALL THE OLD GENTLEMEN UP THERE WERE ALWAYS SAYING, DON'T, WE CAN'T GET INTO, WE LIKE THE WAY WE ARE ACCESS TO THE TAX OFFICE AND TO TAKE YOUR RESTAURANT, OUR VEHICLES AND STUFF.

AND THEN, AND THEY WERE ALL PRETTY ADAMANT ABOUT IT AND THEIR CONVERSATIONS ABOUT, WE DON'T WANT TO USE THIS EASY ACCESS HERE TO TAKE CARE OF COUNTY BUSINESS AT THE TAX LEVEL.

YOU KNOW, IT, IT KIND OF DIED DOWN, YOU KNOW, BUT THAT'S A BIG CONCERN AND YOU START PUTTING, THERE MIGHT BE SOME, I MEAN, I'M GETTING PRETTY OLD MYSELF.

SO I GUESS I CAN SAY IT, IT'S TOUGH TO BACK OUT OR PULLED OUT THE PARKING AROUND THE SQUARE WITH THE TRAFFIC TO GET IN AND OUT.

AND IF YOU HAVE THAT TOWN OF VOLUME GOING THERE WITH LIMITED PARKING, OR YOU HAVE ELDERLY WALKING, A BLOCK AND A HALF TO GET TO DO BUSINESS, THAT'S MY DOWNSIDE ABOUT PUTTING THE TAX OFFICE OVER THERE.

I MEAN, I MEAN, ONCE YOU DID, I MEAN, I THINK YOU TOOK SPACE, YOU TOOK DEPARTMENTS AND DID A GREAT JOB.

SO, BUT IT'S JUST RIGHT.

I, I HATE THE IDEA OF THE EASE FOR THE PUBLIC TO GET IN HERE, TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR BUSINESS.

THEY DO EVERY DAY.

NO.

AND, AND I UNDERSTAND THAT.

AND I THINK WE, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE DID IN OUR, OUR PRESENTATION WHERE WE HAD THE, I THINK IT WAS EIGHT ITERATIONS OF, YOU KNOW, HOW THE SQUARE COULD BE USED OR CHANGED OR HOW WE WOULD MODIFY ANY OF THE PARKING, THOSE KINDS OF THINGS AROUND WE'VE TOOK INTO CONSIDERATION THAT YOU ACTUALLY AT ONCE THIS, UH, COURTHOUSE MPS, YOU ACTUALLY HAVE FEWER PEOPLE PARKING DOWN HERE.

YOU ACTUALLY GAIN PARKING BECAUSE YOU HAVE FEWER PEOPLE WHO ARE COMING HERE USING THIS AREA, PARTICULARLY ALL OF THOSE PEOPLE ARE BEING MOVED.

SO SOME OF THAT PRESSURE ON PARKING IS ACTUALLY RELIEVED IN SOME WAYS.

BUT THE OTHER THING IS, AND YOU COULD CERTAINLY DO THIS AS POLICYMAKERS HERE, YOU KNOW, IS THERE COULD BE AN EMPLOYEE PARKING LOT, WHICH WOULD BE THE SORT OF MAINTAINING.

I REALLY DON'T LIKE, I'M TALKING ABOUT EMPLOYEES TAKING, I TAKE I'M EVENTUALLY THE MERCHANT IS GOING TO GET TIRED OF THAT AND START HAVING A MUTINY.

BUT YEAH, AS FAR AS EMPLOYEE PARKING, I'M TALKING ABOUT SOMEONE LIKE ME WHO CAN'T SEE VERY WELL, OR I GET TO BE OLDER AND MORE GERIATRIC, AND I'M TRYING TO BACK OUT INTO TRAFFIC, TRYING TO GET IN AND OUT.

SURE.

THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

I THINK THE EMPLOYEES, I THINK REALLY, AND TRULY WE OUGHT TO BE ABLE TO HANDLE THAT.

ME, THERE'S NO LIMIT TO HOW MANY HANDICAP SPACES WE COULD PUT IN FRONT OF THE COURTHOUSE.

AND THERE'S NO LIMIT TO HOW

[01:20:01]

AND THE OTHER IS, IS THAT IF WE ARE, I MEAN, YOU CAN SAY ME DO HANDICAP.

YOU CAN DESIGNATE PARKING FOR CERTAIN FUNCTIONS SPECIFICALLY.

I MEAN, THERE'S, THERE'S DEFINITELY DIFFERENT WAYS TO DO IT.

WE'D TALKED ABOUT RE STRIPING THE, THE NORTH SIDE OF THAT BUILDING, RIGHT.

SO THAT WE'RE CHANGING THE PARALLEL PARKING INTO THE, TO THE 45 DEGREE ANGLE PARKING.

SO THAT WAS GOING TO BE DEFINITELY A BENEFIT YOU WOULD GROW BY.

I THINK 12 SPACES DOESN'T SEEM LIKE A LOT, BUT FOR THE TAX OFFICE, IF YOU'RE COMING IN AND OUT OF THE TAX OFFICE, IT'S HELPFUL.

THE OTHER THING IS, UM, WHICH I'M NOT SURE IF WE IT'S INCLUDED ON THE LIST, BUT IF THE COUNTY WERE TO MAINTAIN THAT PARKING LOT FOR THE ANNEX, THEN WE WOULD, THEN WE WOULD REPAVE IT AND RESTRIPE IT.

RIGHT? SO YOU WOULD ACTUALLY GAIN PARKING THERE BY REPAVING RE STRIPING THAT SPACE.

SO THAT DEFINITELY WOULD BE A BENEFIT.

SO YOU WOULDN'T BE AGAIN, LOSING PARKING, YOU'D BE LOSING ALL OF THE COURT TRAFFIC COMING IN AND OUT, AND ALL OF THE PEOPLE COMING IN AND OUT AND ALL OF THAT.

SO YOUR FUNCTIONS, YOU KNOW, YOU COULD, YOU KNOW, MAKE SOME DESIGNATED PARKING AREAS OR YOU COULD, YOU KNOW, ASSIGN SPOTS THE WAY YOU FELT LIKE YOU NEEDED TO, BUT IN TERMS OF EASE OF ACCESS COMING IN AND OUT OF THE BUILDING, I THINK YOU WOULD STILL HAVE A SIMILAR EASE OF ACCESS COMING IN AND OUT IN AND OUT OF THAT COURTHOUSE BUILDING AS YOU WOULD COMING IN AND OUT OF THE ANNEX BUILDING ITSELF.

SO I DON'T FEEL LIKE, I THINK YOU NEED, YOU NEED TO COME AND USE THESE PULL IN PARKING SPACES AROUND THE COURTHOUSE, ALL THE TRAFFIC'S COMING IN, AND YOU'RE TRYING TO BACK OUT IN THE STREET.

THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

THAT'S THE STUFF I'M TALKING ABOUT.

SOMEONE THAT WANTS TO COME IN AND SPEND FIVE MINUTES TO GO REGISTER THEIR VEHICLE.

AND THEY'RE STUCK WITH A RED LIGHT THAT'S RIGHT THERE BY A PARKING SPACE THAT EVERYBODY'S BACKED UP, TRYING TO GET THROUGH THE RED LIGHT.

YOU CAN'T EVEN BACK OUT OF YOUR PARKING SPACE.

I COULD HAVE, YOU COULD STILL HAVE THE ACCESS TO THE PARKING LOT.

I'M SO REALLY NOT LOSING PARKING.

I PROMISE YOU SO, UM, BUT THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT I'M TALKING ABOUT, THE OLDER FOLKS TRYING TO COME TO BUSINESS AND WE CAN CERTAINLY ASSIGN MORE WE'LL, YOU KNOW, WE CAN WORK WITH THE CITY AND GET SOME MORE SPACES ASSIGNED TO DOWN THERE.

SO ARE WE READY? UH, IF I UNDERSTAND, AND I THINK WE'RE READY TO ASK ATRIAL K TO GET IN TOUCH WITH THE HISTORICAL COMMISSION AND START THAT PROCESS TO MAKE SURE THAT THEIR COURSE, AGAIN, THEY DON'T HAVE, THEY CAN'T STOP US FROM DOING IT, BUT WE ARE, WE DO NEED TO CONSULT WITH THEM.

WHEN WE'RE JUST GOING TO GIVE THEM THE CONCEPT IS ABANDONED, THAT THIS IS PRETTY MUCH WHAT WE'RE GOING TO GO.

I MEAN, THERE'S, YOU KNOW, I THINK THERE PROBABLY OUGHT TO BE SOME CHANGES ON THERE.

I MEAN, ONE OF THEM, ONE OF THEM, I'M JUST ONE OF THESE PEOPLE, I DON'T KNOW, YOU KNOW, COMMON SENSE TELLS ME THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU DON'T LIKE TO PUT, YOU KNOW, PLUMBING WHERE IT PLANS, WHAT YOU GOT VIOLENT.

UM, I'M NOT TOO MUCH WORRIED ABOUT THE FIREMAN.

LIKE THEY CAN CLIMB THE STAIRS TO GET OUT.

I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT THEM, BUT I'D WORRY ABOUT OUR RECORDS.

UM, YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE GOING TO PUT RECORDS IN THERE, IT'S FINE.

BUT THAT'S TIME.

I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW.

I MEAN, OTHER THAN THAT, IT LOOKS LIKE PRETTY GOOD CONCEPT TO ME.

I MEAN, YOU KNOW, IT WAS DESIGN WORK.

THANK YOU ALL.

I APPRECIATE YOUR BEING HERE.

THANK YOU.
