CONSIDER AWARDING BID 2301 ROAD REPAIRS ASPHALT OVERLAY FOR PRECINCT FOUR.

NEXT UP, JACK

[8. Jack Sebastian; Discuss and consider awarding Bid # 23-01 Road Repairs / Asphalt Overlay for Pet. 4 Road & Bridge. ]

SEBASTIAN, DISCUSS,

[00:15:01]

GOOD MORNING, GENTLEMEN.

GOOD MORNING.

WE, I BELIEVE YOU HAVE A COPY OF THAT TABULATION.

UH, WE RECEIVED THREE BIDS, UH, AAA PAVING DONE ASPHALT AND TEXAS MATERIAL GROUP.

UH, UH, AAA WAS LOW BID AT $211,200 FOR REPAIRS TO COUNTY ROAD 40 11.

UH, I CHECKED THE REFERENCES.

UH, I THINK MY RECOMMENDATION MAY DIFFER FROM THE COMMISSIONER.

UH, BUT I WOULD RECOMMEND AWARD A LOAD BID.

UH, QUESTIONS JACK, WHERE, WHERE IS THAT COMPANY LOCATED? ATHENS.

UH, I DO RECOMMEND, UH, I DO RECOMMEND THAT WE GO WITH DONE.

WE HAVE A HISTORY OF THEIR SUCCESSFUL WORK WITH US.

ADDITIONALLY, THEY'RE AN IN THE COUNTY VENDOR.

UM, WHAT WAS THE DIFFERENCE IN THE BIDS? UH, AAA WAS 211,200.

UH, DONE IS 294,000 5 84.

83,000.

ROUGH, I GUESS, RIGHT? AND THEN TEXAS MATERIALS IS TWO 60? YES, SIR.

AND AAA, SORRY.

TEXAS MATERIALS IS A CURRENT VENDOR AND THEY'RE AT TWO 60, I THINK TEXAS MATERIALS.

WHAT, WHAT'S THE DATE OF THEIR BID? I THOUGHT THAT BID WAS OLD.

UH, THEY ANSWERED THIS BID.

THEY DID? YES, SIR.

THEY REBI.

OKAY, WELL I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO GO WITH THE, THE AUDITORS, I'M SORRY, THE PURCHASING AGENTS' RECOMMENDATION.

UH, COMMISSIONER KATES MAKES A MOTION TO, UH, FOLLOW THE PERKING AGENT'S RECOMMENDATION, WHICH IS TO AWARD THAT BID TO DUNN.

IS THAT CORRECT? NO.

NO.

AAA.

I'M SORRY TO AWARD THAT BID TO AAA.

UH, THAT'S COMMISSIONER KATE'S MOTION.

IS THERE A SECOND? CAN I, CAN I ASK THE QUESTION? I MEAN, BEFORE WE VOTE ON THIS, UH, THE AAA, I'VE NEVER USED THEM.

I'VE NEVER USED 'EM.

NEVER USED THEM.

NO, I'VE NEVER HEARD OF 'EM.

SO I CAN'T HELP YOU.

SO I GUESS MY ONLY REQUEST WOULD BE IF YOU WOULD SHARE A FOLLOW UP IF WE DO THIS AS FAR AS THE QUALITY OF WORK.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE TIMELINE IS.

JACK, DID THEY ON THIS, DID THEY GO OUT AND LOOK AT THIS? CAUSE THEY, THEY DIDN'T CONTACT ME ABOUT GOING OUT AND LOOK AT IT AS THE OTHER VENDORS DID.

COMMISSIONER, I, I ASSUME THEY DID.

UH, YOU KNOW, I, I SPOKE TO YOU IN THE OFFICE.

I INVITED YOU TO HELP ME, UH, TO CHECK A REFERENCES ON THAT.

AND, UH, WELL ACTUALLY I DON'T RECALL YOU INVITING ME TO DO THAT.

BUT WHAT, CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT REFERENCES YOU GOT? BECAUSE I, I'VE NEVER HEARD OF THEM.

ONE OF, ONE OF 'EM I KNOW IS CITY CHANDLER.

I HAVE A, UH, ONE IS SOUTH POINT, ONE IS CITY OF CHANDLER AND ONE IS LEWIS SUBDIVISION.

I CONTACTED ALL THREE, UH, UH, IF YOU'D LIKE TO, YOU KNOW, PUT TABLE THIS AND, AND CONTACT THOSE FOLKS.

I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THAT.

I'D LEAVE THAT UP TO COMMISSIONER CASE IF HE OKAY.

WE HAVE A MOTION.

LET ME, LET ME, LET'S KIND OF GIVE, I THINK I'D LIKE TO AMEND MY MOTION, JUDGE.

AND OVERTOPPING OF THE ROAD.

I'D LIKE TO AMEND MY MOTION THAT, UH, WELL, I APPRECIATE THE PURCHASING EFFORTS.

I REALLY FEEL COMFORTABLE, UH, WITH OUR HISTORY WITH DONE PAVING, UH, AS I EXPLAINED PREVIOUSLY, DONE, UH, ACTUALLY KIND OF, UH, UH, SPECIALIZES, IF YOU WILL, IN THIS KIND OF ROAD FOR OUR PRECINCT, WHICH IS VERY NARROW BECAUSE OF THEIR SMALLER EQUIPMENT.

UH, THEY'VE DONE GREAT WORK.

UH, AND I RECOGNIZE THAT THE, THE, UH, ATTRACTION OF THE LOW BIDDER, BUT I, I FEEL VERY CONFIDENT IN NOT ONLY THEIR WORK, BUT ALSO THEIR WARRANTY.

UH, SO I'M GONNA AMEND MY MOTION THAT WE, UH, NOT FOLLOW THE PURCHASING AGENTS AGREEMENT, BUT THAT WE AWARD THIS CONTRACTED DONE.

JUDGE, I'D LIKE TO ADD ONE ITEM.

ALSO, TALK TO TEXAS BIT.

I KNOW THE COMMISSIONER HAD CONCERN ABOUT, UH, THEIR EQUIPMENT, THE ABILITY TO WORK ON SMALL ROADS.

UH, MR. WARNER ADVISED ME THAT, THAT THEY HAD EQUIPMENT TO WORK ON SMALL ROADS.

UH, THEY'RE NOT IN THIS BID PROCESS.

THEY'RE, THEY'RE SECOND LOW.

OH, OKAY.

THEY ARE, THEY ARE.

THE PROBLEM WITH TEXAS BIT, AS I EXPLAINED TO YOU, JACK, IS THAT THEIR AVAILABILITY IS, IS UH, UH, UM, UH, NOT IMMEDIATE AND THE NEED ON THIS PARTICULAR ROAD BEFORE THE WEATHER.

AND THE, THIS ROAD IS, UH, IS HAUNTED BY EXCESSIVE FLOODING

[00:20:01]

UH, SO THAT'S WHY IT'S CRITICAL THAT WE TRY TO GET THIS DONE BEFORE THE SPRING RAINS.

SO ONCE AGAIN, I BELIEVE THAT, UH, ALL OF THOSE FACTORS JUSTIFY AN AWARD OF, OF, UH, THIS CONTRACT TO THE DONE.

THAT'S MY MOTION.

SO WE HAVE THAT MOTION FOR COMMISSIONER KATES.

IS THERE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND THE MOTION.

UH, I'M SORRY.

UH, JUDGE, UH, JUST TO QUICKLY BRING IT TO THE COURTS ATTENTIONS, WHILE YOU MAKE A MOTION, IS THAT IF THERE IS A BID, THAT'S TO TAKE A BID OF SOMEONE WHO'S NOT THE LOWEST BIDDER.

THIS COURT ACTUALLY HAS TO CONSIDER ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE HAS TO GIVE THE LOWER, ANY LOWER BIDDER WHEN THERE ARE TWO, A CHANCE TO COME BEFORE THIS COURT TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE.

JUST SO THE COURSE AWARE.

AND, AND THAT IS 2 62 0.027 OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE.

SO THEN LOOKS AT ME LIKE, UM, JUDGE, IT COULD BE, IT COULD BE TABLED FOR THE COMMISSIONER TO, TO SPEAK WITH THE LOW BID AND FIND OUT, YOU KNOW, THEIR HISTORY OR TO GET WITH TEXAS BID AND FIND OUT SECOND LITTLE BID IF THEY COULD ACTUALLY GET ON THAT JOB AS NEEDED.

I'LL, UH, I'LL MAKE, I'LL AMEND MY MOTION AGAIN TO TABLE THIS.

I DO SOME ADDITIONAL RESEARCH.

SO THE MOTION IS AMENDED TO TABLE.

MY SECOND STANCE IS MORE DISCUSSION.

UM, NEXT ITEM HAS GOT COMMISSIONER BARBER'S NAME ON IT.

[9. Commissioner Barber; Discuss/Consider approval of M&S Services to do road repairs on Ridge Dr.; Norton Dr.; and Mitchell Dr. in Kaufman County Pet. 3, in the amount of $186,000.00. ]

IT'S DISCUSSED.

CONSIDER APPROVAL OF M ANDS SERVICES TO DO ROAD REPAIRS ON RIDGE ROAD.

NORTON DRIVE IN MITCHELL DRIVE IN KAUFMAN COUNTY PRECINCT THREE IN THE AMOUNT OF $186,000.

JUDGE, HE ASKED THAT I THAT I TABLE THAT ITEM FOR HIM.

HE ASKED THAT IT'D BE TABLED.

UH, IS THERE A MOTION TO TABLE ITEM NINE? I'LL MAKE IT MOTION.

WE HAVE A MOTION.

IS THERE A SECOND? I SECOND.

COMMISSIONER HUNT.

DISCUSSION.

ITEM 10, BOBBY BRIDGES PRESENT UPDATES ON ANIMAL SHELTER, JUSTICE CENTER, AND NEW CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS IN KAUFMAN COUNTY.

UH,

[10. Bobby Bridges; Present updates on Animal Shelter, Justice Center, and all new construction projects in Kaufman County.]

GOOD MORNING.

GOOD WORK.

HOW ARE Y'ALL TODAY? GOOD.

SO MR. GREG'S HERE WITH, UH, GALLAGHER TO KIND OF GIVE AN UPDATE ON THE ANIMAL SHELTER AND THE ISSUES THAT THEY'VE, THEY'RE WORKING ON.

SO I'LL LET HIM GIVE AN UPDATE.

GOOD MORNING.

MORNING.

UH, ONE OF THE THINGS WE'VE DONE IN REGARDS TO THE PLUMBING ISSUE THAT WE'VE ENCOUNTERED OUT THERE IS ARISEN IS WE HAD A BEATING LAST WEEK WITH THE ARCHITECT, THE DESIGN FIRM AND THE GEOTECH GEOTECH FIRM THAT DID THE ORIGINAL SOIL ANALYSIS FOR THE BUILDING.

UM, PRIOR TO THAT, UH, WHEN THE ISSUE FIRST ARRIVED, THE PLUMBING CONTRACTOR HAD THE MANUFACTURER OF THE VOID SYSTEM THAT WAS INSTALLED UNDERNEATH THE PLUMBING COME OUT AND TAKE A LOOK AT IT.

THEY SENT A REPORT BACK, I SENT IT TO BOBBY YESTERDAY AFTERNOON, UH, FOR HIS INFORMATION.

AND BASICALLY THEIR REPORT SAYS IT APPEARS THE SYSTEM IS ALL INSTALLED CORRECTLY AND THEY'RE QUESTIONING THAT THERE'S SOME OTHER UNDERLYING CONDITIONS, POSSIBLY AS EXCESS DRAINAGE, ET CETERA, THAT MAY BE ENCOUNTERING UNDER THE BUILDING THAT COULD BE POTENTIALLY CAUSING THE PROBLEM.

THAT'S KIND OF A QUICK SUMMARY OF IT.

UM, SO ONE OF THE THINGS WE LOOKED AT LAST WEEK WITH THE FIRM THAT CAME OUT ON SITE IS LOOKING AT DOING SOME TEST BOARDS ON THE FRONT END OF THE BUILDING.

CUZ ON THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING, THE ROOF DRAINS OUT OF THE, UH, LAMPS DIRECTLY BESIDE THE BUILDING, THE BACKSIDE OF THE BUILDING.

IT ALL GOES INTO STORM DRAINS OR FURTHER AWAY.

SO ONE OF THE THINGS WE'RE GONNA LOOK AT DOING IS NEXT WEEK IS DO A COUPLE OF TEST BOARDS BY THE BUILDING TO SEE WHAT THE MOISTURE CONDITION IS RIGHT BY THE BUILDING.

POSSIBLY IF IT'S A WARRANTS PUTTING A SUB SOIL DRAINAGE PUMP, SOME PUMP OR SOMETHING THERE.

IF THAT'S THE CASE, TO LOOK AT TURNING THE PIPES BECAUSE OF THE POSITIVE DRAINAGE AWAY FROM THE BUILDING AND THE GROUND CONTOUR, POSSIBLY RUNNING THE DRAINAGE FARTHER OUT AWAY FROM THE BUILDING IF THAT'S DETERMINED TO BE THE ISSUE.

SO LIKE I SAID, WE'VE, WE'VE MET, WE'VE LOOKED AT, WE DON'T HAVE FIRM ANSWERS, BUT WE ARE LOOKING AT SOME OPTIONS, UH, OR, OR POSSIBILITIES.

THE UH, OTHER THING IS WE'RE GONNA DO IS ALSO THE PLUMBER NEXT WEEK WE'RE GONNA COORDINATE WITH THE PET CENTER STAFF TO, UH, PRESSURE TEST SOME OF THE LINES OR TEST THE LINES TO MAKE SURE THERE'S NO LEAKAGE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

BUT WE JUST GOTTA DO THAT BECAUSE THEY'RE THERE EVEN ON THE WEEKENDS CLEANING AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

SO IT LOOKED LIKE WE'LL PROBABLY DO IT LATE ONE EVENING TO BE ABLE TO DO SOME OF THAT INVESTIGATIVE WORK.

AS FAR AS DRAINAGE AND STUFF GOES, I WOULD ASSUME THAT SINCE WE'RE IN A PRETTY STABLE TIME OF MOISTURE CONTENT IN THE SOIL, YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT GONNA BE DRY NOW FOR A FEW MONTHS.

I WOULD THINK MAYBE THE SITUATION WILL BE KIND OF STABLE FOR A WHILE, WHO KNOWS?

[00:25:01]

SEEMS TO MAKE SENSE.

YEAH, I MEAN IT SEEMS TO MAKE SENSE.

DON'T, LIKE I SAID, DON'T REALLY HAVE AN ANSWER.

BUT ONE THING WE DID NOTICE, UM, WHEN WE WALKED IT FRIDAY AND EVERYBODY, YOU KNOW, KIND OF CONCURRED IS A LARGE SECTION OF THE ROOF DRAINS ACTUALLY RIGHT ON THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING RIGHT OFF ONTO SPLASH BLOCKS.

AND OF COURSE WITH THE DRY CONDITIONS WE'VE HAD AND THE MOISTURE GOES STRAIGHT TO THE CRACKS IS WHAT THE REPORT FROM THE VOID SYSTEM.

SAID.

SO, LIKE I SAID, THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT AS THE POSSIBLE CON REASON.

BUT I DON'T, YOU KNOW, THERE'S NOTHING DEFINITIVE YET.

SO, WELL I JUST, I JUST FEEL STRONGLY THAT WE HAVE A WINDOW OH ABSOLUTELY.

TO ATTEMPT TO TRY TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM.

AND, AND DUE TO ANY KIND OF THINGS WE HAVE TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM.

NOW VERSUS LIVING WITH SOMETHING FOR 50 YEARS.

SO WELL AND ALL AND OUR, YOU KNOW, CONSENSUS IS OF OUR MEETING LAST WEEK WAS EVERYBODY WAS REALLY SURPRISED CUZ IT'S JUST, I MEAN THAT WHOLE SYSTEM, YOU KNOW, IN REGARDS TO THE BUILDING ITSELF, THERE'S NO EVIDENCE CUZ THAT WHOLE SYSTEM IS ON 18 INCH VOID SYSTEMS ON THE STRUCTURE ITSELF.

THERE'S NO EVIDENCE OF THE BUILDING ANY MOVEMENT OR ANY, ANYTHING LIKE MOVING OF THE BUILDING THAT SUCH.

RIGHT, RIGHT.

IT'S JUST MOVING THE ACTUAL PIPES UNDERNEATH IT.

AND WHY IS THE QUESTION, YOU KNOW, THE SY THE VOICE SYSTEM THAT WAS PUT UNDER IT HAS, HAS DESIGNED IS FOR THAT.

SO YOU IF IT'S GONNA MOVE, I DON'T THINK ON IT YEAH.

IT'S NOT THE SAME.

YOU KNOW, AGAIN, I APPRECIATE YOU MOVING FORWARD TO TRY TO GET IT RECTIFIED.

CAUSE I THINK THIS IS A BIG, OR AT LEAST IN MY MIND, IT'S A PRETTY BIG DEAL.

NO.

SO WE, WE AGREE, WE AGREE.

I MEAN, I KNOW IT JUST TOOK, SORRY, IT TOOK A LITTLE TIME TO KINDA GET ALL THE PARTS AND PIECES TO GET THE INITIAL REPORT BACK FROM THE BOARD COMPANY AND PLUS WE WANTED TO LOOK AT IT AND GET, YOU KNOW, THE PARTIES INVOLVED THAT REALLY, YOU KNOW, DESIGNED THE BUILDING.

AND WE HAD BOTH, UH, KIM AND DAVID FROM CORMER OUT LAST WEEK ALONG WITH ALPHA THE GEOTECH FIRM.

AND CONSENSUS WAS, WAS EVERYBODY WAS KIND OF SURPRISED IF WE'D HAVE BUILT IT, IF WE'VE BUILT IT IN ARIZONA, WE WOULDN'T BE HAVING THIS PROBLEM WOULD WE? TRUE.

WELL I UNDERSTAND IT WHEN A CONTRACTOR, THEY GET PRETTY APPREHENSIVE WHENEVER YOU START ASKING QUESTIONS.

OH, RIGHT.

EITHER.

IT'S LIKE, WELL THE MANUFACTURER, YOU COULD IMAGINE HIS YES.

I MEAN, AS I SAID, BOBBY HAS THE REPORT, IT'S KINDA LIKE, HEY, IT'S ALL CORRECT.

EVERYBODY'S GOT THE, YOU KNOW, THE IF Y'ALL NEED TO LOOK, NEED TO LOOK OVER HERE, BUT, AND I'M NOT SAYING WHAT'S RIGHT OR WRONG, I'M JUST SAYING THAT'S THAT'S RIGHT.

BUT WE DID, LIKE I SAID, WE'LL NEXT WEEK WE'RE GONNA START SOME OF THE INVESTIGATIVE WORK, MORE OF IT.

AND UH, THAT'S GONNA TELL US A LOT.

BUT I THINK WE PRETTY MUCH CONCLUDED WE'RE GONNA LOOK AT TURNING THOSE DRAINS AND HAVE TO TURN 'EM DOWN, GET 'EM UNDERGROUND AND TAKE 'EM OUT BECAUSE THERE'S A PRETTY GOOD DROP THERE TO THE DRAINAGE SW IN FRONT OF THE BUILDING OUT TOWARD THE RIGHT OF WAY.

AND AT LEAST GET THAT OUT TO WHERE WE ELIMINATE THAT.

CAUSE IT'S ACTUALLY THE GEOTECH FIRM REFERENCED ABOUT MAKING SURE ANY SHEET WATER DRAINAGE IS X AMOUNT OF DISTANCE FROM THE BUILDING.

I CAN'T REMEMBER EXACTLY WHAT IT SAID.

WHAT HOLDS THE WATER UP THERE, HUH? I MEAN, WHAT HOLDS THE WATER UP THERE? CAUSE THE WHOLE FRONT OF THE BUILDING GOES DOWNHILL RIGHT IN FRONT OF IT.

BUT AS HE SAID IN THAT REPORT, WHEN WE'VE HAD THE DRY CONDITIONS, ANY RAIN WITH THOSE CRACKS IS GONNA HIT, HIT THE FIRST, FIRST, FIRST BACK IS HIT, HIT THE FIRST SPOT.

I MEAN THE GROUND, THE GROUND OUT THERE IS, IS WHAT IT IS.

WE ALL, EVERYBODY KNOWS HOW IT IS, SO YEAH.

AFRAID WE DO.

UM, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR GREG? NO.

SO THE SHERIFF'S SUBSTATION IS, UH, KIND OF, THEY'RE STILL TRYING TO DRILL PI, BUT IT'S BEEN SO WET AND MUDDY THAT THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET OUT THERE.

I THINK GREG, GREG AND I SPOKE THIS MORNING.

YOU SAID YOU'RE LOOKING AT FRIDAY OR MONDAY GETTING A TRACK.

THEY, WE FINALLY, THEY FINALLY LOCATED A TRACK RIG.

THEY TRIED YESTERDAY.

CHUCK'S GOT STUCK, THE DRILLING RIG.

SO THEY LOCATED A TRACK RIG.

THEY'VE BEEN HAD EVERYBODY'S MERCY CUZ EVERYBODY'S BEHIND BECAUSE OF THE RAINS.

SO, UH, THEY'RE PREPARED TO EITHER START, HOPEFULLY MONDAY, START ACTUALLY DRILLING.

SO THAT'LL GET, UH, BEFORE YOU LEAVE THE SHERIFF'S SUBSTATION.

GOOD TIME TO MENTION THAT.

UH, DONNA IS WORKING UP A, UH, A GROUNDBREAKING WITH SCHOOL DISTRICT AND SHERIFF EVERYBODY ELSE ON DECEMBER THE SIXTH.

YOU'LL GET MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THAT LATER.

BUT DECEMBER 6TH BE A GOOD DAY.

UM, I FEEL LIKE THE, UH, THE RIBBON CUTTING WENT REALLY WELL THE OTHER DAY.

TEACHER WENT IN THERE LATER, THEY WERE IN THERE HAVING A MURDER TRIAL.

A LOT OF PEOPLE PITCHED IN.

YEP.

A LOT OF PEOPLE WORKED.

I LIKE TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO MY GUYS.

MY GUYS WORKED THEIR TAIL OFF ON GETTING THAT SET UP AND CLEANED UP AFTERWARDS.

SO, UM, GREAT JOB BY MY GUYS WITH FACILITIES.

UM, OTHER THAN THAT, THAT'S ALL WE GOT.

UM, MAKE SURE I HAVE NO QUESTIONS, UH, BEFORE WE LEAVE THE RIBBON CUTTING THING.

I, ANY CHANCE I GET, I ALWAYS, YOU KNOW, WE ASK, UH, DONNA ASK PUT OUT TO ALL THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS IF THEY WOULD LIKE TO, TO PARTICIPATE AND, UH, WE DID GET PARTICIPATION FROM TWO DISTRICTS.

YES.

UH, TERRELL BROUGHT THEIR HIGH SCHOOL CHOIR, SANG THE NATIONAL ANTHEM, DID A GREAT JOB.

UH, I WILL TELL YOU THAT THEY WENT INSIDE BECAUSE IT WAS COLD OUTSIDE AND THEY ASKED IF THEY COULD GO IN AND SO DONNA TOOK 'EM IN AND LET THEM SIT IN THE COURTROOM.

AND WHEN THE

[00:30:01]

, WHICH, SO THAT'S THE FIRST TRIAL THAT'S HELD IN THE JUSTICE CENTER WAS BY THE TE HIGH SCHOOL CHOIR.

AND, UM, BUT KEMP MAN, THEY, THEY JUST REALLY STEPPED UP.

I MEAN, THEY, THEY BROUGHT THE BAND, THE DRILL TEAM, THE CHEERLEADERS, THE RADIO STATION, THEY'D COOK, THEY MADE THE COOKIES.

THEY, I MEAN IT WAS REALLY A GREAT, GREAT TURNOUT BY CAMP AND WE REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

I DO AGREE WITH THAT.

UH, THE OTHER QUESTION I HAVE FOR YOU IS THE, DO YOU HAVE A PLAN WORKING FOR SIGNAGE? YES, SIR.

WE'RE ON THAT RIGHT NOW.

UM, ABOUT OUR PLAN IS TO HAVE SIGNAGE SET UP ON THE FOUR BUMP OUTS AROUND THE COURTHOUSE TO HAVE EVERYBODY DIRECTED TO THE NEW JUSTICE CENTER.

UM, WE'RE KIND OF HESITANT ABOUT PUTTING IT OUT YET, UM, BECAUSE OF, WE DON'T HAVE A DATE ON THE JAIL COMMISSION.

MM-HMM.

ON WHEN THEY'RE GONNA COME OUT AND DO THE INSPECTION.

WE'RE STILL SHOOTING FOR THE 19TH.

WE'RE GONNA START TRYING TO MOVE ON THE 19TH.

WELL, YOU GOTTA GET THE DATE SET, OBVIOUSLY BEFORE YOU, YOU GOTTA HAVE SOMETHING PUT ON THE SIGN, BUT CORRECT.

THERE'LL BE A MILLION PEOPLE SHOWING UP HERE TO GO TO THE COURTHOUSE.

UM, ONE THING THAT I'M TRYING TO DO, JUDGE, IS IN COURT, IS I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IF THERE'S A WAY FOR US TO START MOVING SOME OF THE FILES FROM LAURA'S OFFICE WITH, UH, SOUTHWEST SOLUTIONS, MOVING THAT STUFF OVER MAYBE THE START OF DECEMBER THAT GETS A HEAD START ON GETTING ALL THAT STUFF OUT OF THERE AND INTO THE, THE NEW JUSTICE CENTER.

BUT ONE OF THE CONCERNS WAS, WAS THAT WE DON'T HAVE, THE INSURANCE ISN'T IN OUR NAME, IT'S IN, UH, GALLAGHER'S NAME AT THIS TIME.

AND I, I DON'T FEEL LIKE THAT THEY WANT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THAT.

UH, LET ME, UM, WE DID TALK ABOUT THAT LAST WEEK.

YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY THE BUILDING'S LOCKED UP EVERY NIGHT, YOU KNOW, THE ROOMS ARE LOCKED.

UM, BEING THAT THE, I NEED TO VERIFY WITH OUR OFFICE HOW THE INSURANCE POLICIES YOU SEE IS WRITTEN AND HOW THAT WOULD WORK.

OUR CONCERN IS, IS COUNTY RECORDS BEING MOVED IN, IT'S, YOU KNOW, IT'S DIFFERENT THAN A PIECE OF FURNITURE TYPE SCENARIO.

SO LET, LET ME, LET ME CONVERSE WITH OUR OFFICE TO KIND VISIT THAT BECAUSE THERE'S NOTHING, NOTHING IMPEDING AS FAR AS ROOMS ARE READY.

A POLICE SOUTHWEST SOLUTION HAS ALL THE SHELVING AND EVERYTHING READY THAT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO PUT IN.

UH, THE COUNTY TOOK CARE OF ALL THAT.

BUT LET ME, LET ME CONFIRM THAT TO WHERE IF WE CAN COORDINATE THAT, THEN THAT'S, THERE'S NO ISSUE WITH IT.

THE BUILDING'S READY.

SO, BUT WE MIGHT TALK TO OUR TECH INSURANCE TOO AND SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO TO HELP SOLVE THE PROBLEM.

BUT YOU KNOW, SO THERE, THERE'S STILL A BUNCH OF SHELVING IN, IN LAURA HUGHES BASEMENT AREA THAT HAS TO BE MOVED OVER TO THE JUSTICE CENTER WHERE THE, THE FILES THAT ARE ON THERE HAVE TO BE MOVED FIRST BEFORE WE CAN MOVE THAT OVER.

SO THAT'S, THAT'S THE WHOLE REASON WHY I'M, I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO GET SOUTHWEST TO MOVE THAT STUFF OVER START OF DECEMBER.

THAT WAY WE CAN ACCESS THE SHELVING, WE CAN TEAR IT APART, WE CAN GET IT MOVED OVER AND GET IT SET UP BEFORE THE 19TH.

SO, OR DURING THAT PERIOD OR DURING THAT SAME PERIOD, TWO WEEKS.

LET ME JUST, LET ME CONVERSE WITH LISA ON THAT AND KIND OF GET CONFIRMATION WHAT WOULD BE REQUIRED FROM THE COUNTY AS FAR AS THAT'S MY ONLY CONCERN.

A WAIVER OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

YEAH, WELL IT LOOKS LIKE LOOK LIKE HE HAS RIGHT SOLUTION.

JUST TALK TACK.

I MEAN THEY MIGHT BE INSURED BY US, PERIOD.

WHETHER WE MOVE THEM OVER THERE OR NOT, NOT BY YOU.

THAT'D JUST BE A SIMPLE, A SIMPLE CALL AND A SIMPLE QUESTION.

YOU KNOW, SO WE MIGHT, MIGHT AVOID EVERYTHING.

ANYBODY HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? MM-HMM.

THANK YOU OFFICER SIR.

APPRECIATE.

OKAY, THEN MOVE ON TO ITEM 12.

[11. Judge Richards; Discuss/Consider exiting regular meeting and enter a public hearing. ]

COMMISSIONERS.
