May 02, 2023 Commissioners Court

SO ANY ROUTINE CORRESPONDENCE?

[1. ROUTINE CORRESPONDENCE.]

ANYONE HAVE ANYTHING? WELL, THE MIKE, I CUT IT ON THIS TIME.

THE TIRE, THE TIRE EVENT, YES.

WAS A SUCCESS.

UH, THEY, A LOT OF, A LOT OF PEOPLE BROUGHT IN TIRES THERE THAT, THAT DIDN'T HAVE NOT GOTTEN THE, UH, EXACT NUMBER OF TIRES THAT THEY GOT IN, BUT THAT TRAILER WAS NEARLY ALL THE WAY FULL.

AND THEY, THE PROBATION GUYS THAT WERE WORKING, THEY STACKED IT TIGHT.

SO THERE'S A LOT OF TIRES THAT WERE PUT IN THERE.

THERE'S ANOTHER TIRE CLEAN UP.

I WANNA SAY MAY 20TH, YOU KNOW, SO THIS LATER THIS MONTH.

SO JUST TRY TO KEEP 'EM OFF THE COUNTY ROADS AND PUT 'EM IN A TRAILER.

ON THERE WE HAVE THREE ITEMS, A DISCUSS.

SO, OKAY.

ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANYTHING? IF NOT, LEMME MOVE ON TO THE CONSENT AGENDA.

AND

[2. CONSENT AGENDA]

CONSIDER ACCEPTING THE COMMISSIONER'S COURT MEETING MINUTES FOR APRIL THE 25TH OF 2023 B DISCUSSED.

CONSIDER ACCEPTING A QUARTERLY REPORT FOR THE VETERANS SERVICE, OR SECOND QUARTER OF 23 AND C DISCUSS, CONSIDER ACCEPTING THE FIBER OPTIC LINE BO ACROSS RANCH ROAD, LOCATED AT 16 525 RANCH ROAD IN FORNEY.

THERE'S ANY DISCUSSION ON ANY OF THESE ITEMS? NO, I DON'T THINK SO.

I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO ACCEPT IT.

MR. ALL OF 'EM TOGETHER.

MR. DUS MAKES A MOTION TO ACCEPT.

NEED A SECOND? I'LL SECOND.

MOTION CARRIES NUMBER THREE, MS. YAMA.

[3. Yasma Holland; Discuss/Consider accepting Kaufman County Library's Texas State Library & Archives Commission Annual Report for FY2022 and the Kaufman County Library's; Quarterly Report for January 2023-March 2023.]

ALL RIGHT.

SHE'S GOING TO DISCUSS ACCEPTING AND THEN CONSIDER ACCEPTING THE KAPA COUNTY'S LIBRARY, TEXAS STATE LIBRARY AND ARCHIVES COMMISSION ANNUAL REPORT FOR 2022.

AND THE KAUFMAN COUNTY LIBRARY'S QUARTERLY REPORT FOR 23 THIS YEAR.

YES MA'AM.

YES.

SO I'M, I DID CHECK CONSENT AGENDA, BUT IT'S ON THE AGENDA.

THAT'S OKAY.

WE WANNA HEAR FROM YOU ANYWAY.

YES, I'LL MAKE IT QUICK.

SO THE ANNUAL REPORT IS REQ REQUIRED EVERY YEAR IN THE SPRING FOR ALL ACCREDITED LIBRARIES IN THE STATE OF TEXAS.

IT'S JUST A COMPILATION OF ALL THE, ALL THE STATISTICS, THE NUMBER OF PROGRAMS, THE MAINTENANCE OF EFFORT TO MEET ALL OF THE GUIDELINES THAT ARE SET OUT BY THE STATE TO CONTINUE THE ACCREDITATION FOR THE LIBRARIES.

SO TWO THINGS ON OUR REPORT.

UM, WE DID RESUME OUR IN-PERSON PROGRAMMING LIKE IN OCTOBER, 2021 COMING OUT OF COVID.

SO THOSE NUMBERS ARE HIGHER.

SO ANY KIND OF, UM, FLUCTUATION, BIG JUMPS IN NUMBERS REQUIRES ALL THOSE EDITS AT THE BOTTOM TO LET YOU KNOW WHY.

UM, AND ALSO WE DID LIKE 30, OVER $30,000 IN GRANTS, WHICH HELPED OUR BUDGET THIS YEAR.

THAT'S GOOD.

YEAH, SO I'M LOOKING REALLY FORWARD TO THE MUNOS THAT KAREN'S OFFICE IS, IS IMPLEMENTING TO REALLY STREAMLINE THOSE GRANTS TO, UM, SOUNDS LIKE THAT'S GONNA BE A LOT BETTER, CUZ I KNOW IT'S HARD WHEN YOU HAVE LIKE SIX OR SEVEN GRANTS, ALL THAT RECORD KEEPING THE MONEY, THE CONTRACTS AND ALL THAT.

SO I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT.

SO, AND LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT TRAINING TOMORROW FOR THE QUARTERLY REPORT.

UM, WE, UM, EVERYTHING IS GOING GOOD.

WE DID SOMETHING DIFFERENT IN THIS QUARTER.

ALL THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS HAD, JUST ABOUT ALL OF THEM HAD THE SAME SPRING BREAK.

SO WE DID A FULL WEEK OF PROGRAMMING FROM, UM, STARTING THAT TUESDAY BEFORE ALL THE WAY TO THAT SATURDAY WITH PROGRAMS. EVERY DAY.

WE HAD WELL OVER 150 KIDS PARTICIPATING IN ALL THOSE PROGRAMS

[00:05:01]

EXCEPT FOR THE ONES THAT WE HAD TO LIMIT.

SO, UM, WE'LL DEFINITELY DO THAT NEXT YEAR.

UM, WITH A LOT OF HELP FROM THE BUSY BEES WHO HELP WITH THE PREP WORK AND VOLUNTEERING.

AND THEN THE NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETIES FROM THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS DO A LOT.

I THINK THEY LOGGED OVER, I THINK 145 HOURS JUST HELPING US WITH ALL THOSE PROGRAMS. SO WE, WE WERE REALLY HAPPY TO HELP HA TO HAVE THEM HELP US.

UM, THE CLOVER CLUB, WHO IS A BIG SUPPORTER OF OUR LIBRARY DONATED THIS YEAR.

THEY HA THEY USUALLY MEET AT THE LIBRARY ONCE A YEAR AND THEY MADE A DONATION OF 570, OVER $570 TO THE LIBRARY AS WELL.

THE FRIENDS, UM, HELD THEIR BIG BOOK IN OCULAR LUNCHEON, WHICH IS ONE OF THEIR MAIN FUNDRAISERS FOR THE LIBRARY, UM, IN MARCH.

SO IT WAS REALLY SUCCESSFUL TOO.

SO RIGHT NOW WE'RE JUST IN REALLY, UM, PREPARING FOR THE SUMMER READING PROGRAM ALTOGETHER NOW, SO WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT.

UM, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR ANYTHING? AND I WANNA ON THE CHILDREN WHO COME LIKE SPRING BREAK, WHAT ARE THE AVERAGE AGES THAT YOU SEE COMING IN TO PARTICIPATE? SO DURING SPRING BREAK, THE AVERAGE EIGHT, WELL, WE GO FROM ZERO TO 17, BUT THAT MIDDLE GROUP PROBABLY FROM SIX TO LIKE 13.

13 IS A BIG PROPONENT.

AND ALL OF OUR PROGRAMS ARE FAMILY PROGRAMS. SO WHEN WE HAVE LIKE 150 KIDS, IT'S REALLY LIKE 250 BECAUSE OF THE PARENTS THAT COME.

THE WEATHER AT THE END OF THE WEEK WAS REALLY GOOD.

SO WE WERE ABLE TO DO A LOT LIKE THE BUBBLE SHOW AND ALL THE STEAM AND STUFF, WE WERE ABLE TO GET OUTSIDE WITH IT, SO THAT MADE IT A LOT BETTER TOO.

SO, BUT ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR ME? I, YOU SHOULD DOING THAT FOR THE CHILDREN CUZ THEY NEED TO BE READING MORE BOOKS INSTEAD OF ON THEIR IPADS AND PLAYING GAMES.

AGREED.

BUSY, BUSY WEEK FOR YOU.

YEAH, WE REALLY HAVE FUN.

WE'RE TIRED.

MY ARM IS JUST NOW GETTING BETTER.

SO , OTHER THAN HELP, WHAT DO YOU NEED FOR THE SUMMER? JUST MORE HELP.

WELL, AND WE AND THE FRIENDS, WE HAVE A REALLY GOOD GROUP OF FRIENDS.

AND, UH, A LOT OF THE KIDS WILL ASK FOR VOLUNTEERS.

SO A LOT OF THE HIGH SCHOOL KIDS FROM ALL, ALL OVER THE COUNTY, THEY'LL COME AND HELP US OUT THERE TOO.

AND UM, OF COURSE THE FRIENDS IS, THEY FUND THAT PROGRAM.

SO NOW WITH US HAVING INCREASING THE NUMBER OF KIDS IS MORE PEOPLE ARE MOVING IN THE KAUFMAN COUNTY, UM, WHERE NOW THEY USED TO GET FUND THAT PROGRAM AT, YOU KNOW, MAYBE LIKE 8,000.

WELL THEY'RE WELL INTO LIKE 15 JUST BECAUSE OF THE EXPENSE OF EVERYTHING GOING UP.

SO YEAH, WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.

SO I REALLY APPRECIATE ALL OF Y'ALL SUPPORT TOO.

IT'S JUST, YEAH.

THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DO.

YEAH, THANK YOU.

LOT EXTRA WORKED.

SHE DOES A LOT OF WORK.

ALL RIGHT.

SO GOOD JOB.

I NEED A MOTION TO ACCEPT.

I'LL MAKE THAT MOTION.

MR. MOORE MAKES A MOTION.

I HAVE A SECOND.

I'LL SECOND.

MR. PE WILL MAKE A SECOND.

WE HAVE A

[4. Sheriff Beavers; Present/Accept the Sheriff's Office monthly report for March 2023.]

STAND IN.

OH, I'M GONNA STAND IN.

I'M JUST TALL, BUT I STAND IN.

HE'S GONNA PRESENT EXCEPT A SHERIFF'S OFFICE MONTHLY REPORT FOR MARCH OF 23.

YES SIR.

UH, I BELIEVE Y'ALL HAVE THE REPORTS IN FRONT OF YOU.

YES.

UH, JUST BRING ONE THING TO YOUR ATTENTION TO RECOVERED PROPERTY.

OUR GUYS HAVE BEEN WORKING EXTREMELY HARD THIS FIRST THREE MONTHS, FOUR MONTHS OF THIS YEAR.

THEY HAVE BEEN COVERED UP, BUT THEY HAVE RECOVERED 1.6 MILLION IN PROPERTY, STOLEN PROPERTY RECOVERED.

SO I, I KNOW THEY'RE OUT THERE WORKING HARD FOR Y'ALL.

BUT, UH, FEW THINGS THAT WE DO HAVE, UH, BRING UP THE ANIMAL CONTROL DOWN HERE.

BACK IN MARCH, WE DID NOT HAVE THE ANIMAL CONTROL BACK UNDER US YET.

STARTED IN APRIL.

SO YOU'LL SEE THAT WITH A BIG UPTICK COME THIS NEXT MONTH.

AND THEN ON THE NEXT PAGE, UH, ENVIRONMENTAL DIVISION, WE HAD SOME FOR LAST YEAR, BUT THIS YEAR IT'S UNDER THE, UH, DEVELOPMENTAL SERVICES.

SO WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING ON THAT.

OF THE STOLEN PROPERTY THAT Y'ALL RECOVERED, HOW MUCH OF IT DID THE OWNERS ABLE TO RECLAIM? UH, MOST EVERYTHING EXCEPT FOR THINGS THAT, UH, THE INSURANCE HAS PAID OFF.

CAUSE ONCE THE INSURANCE PAYS OFF, IT'S AN INSURANCE PROPERTY.

QUESTIONS? THANK Y'ALL COMMENTS.

SO THE INSURANCE WILL THEY COME GET IT, TAKE YOU UNLESS THAT THE OWNER WANTED TO GET THE PROPERTY BACK AND THEN THEY CAN TALK WITH THE INSURANCE COMPANY AND WE CAN RELEASE IT BACK TO THE OWNER.

ONE THING I NOTICE, ONLY THING I NOTICED ON THERE, IT SAID, UH, ON THE DOGS IT SAID 201.

THAT'S THE WHOLE YEAR.

UH, THAT MUST NOT BE THE, THAT THAT WAS FOR LAST YEAR.

2022.

OH, OKAY.

IT, THE, THE FIRST TWO LINES THERE.

MARCH OF 2022 AND YEAR TO DATE 2022.

ON THE FAR RAT SIDE IS MARCH OF 23.

WE COMPARE FROM LAST YEAR TO THIS YEAR.

SO THIS YEAR WE DIDN'T HAVE THE ANIMAL CONTROL UNDER US YET.

WE TOOK IT BACK IN APRIL.

SO YOU'LL SEE A BIG UPTICK IN THAT FOR YEAH.

THE MONTH.

I'M JUST WONDERING MY, YOU KNOW, IT, THAT WAS KIND OF STRANGE.

AND FIRE MARSHAL WAS ZERO.

I THOUGHT MAYBE YOU CARRIED A MOW AND I SAID I KNOW WE HAD MORE THAN THAT.

YES SIR.

I'M WEARING SOMEWHERE IN THERE.

[00:10:01]

YOU GET A MOTION TO ACCEPT THEN I'LL MAKE A MOTION.

MR. PHELPS MAKES A MOTION.

HAVE A SECOND.

I'LL SECOND.

MR. MOORE, MAKE A SECOND.

[5. Tandi Smith; Discuss/Consider acceptance of the Elections Department 2nd Quarter Report for 2023,]

SHE'S GOT A COUPLE ITEMS HERE.

THE FIRST ONE, DISCUSS CONSIDERED ACCEPTANCE OF THE ELECTIONS DEPARTMENT.

SECOND QUARTER REPORT FOR 23.

MM-HMM.

? YES MA'AM.

I HAD EMAILED YOU GENTLEMEN A COPY OF THAT QUARTERLY REPORT.

DID YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THAT REPORT? NO, I DIDN'T.

NOPE.

YOUR MOTION TO THEN BLACK COLORED AND PRETTY.

HUH? I MOTION COMMISSION A MOTION.

AGAIN, DISCUSS, CONSIDER APPROVAL FOR THE ELECTIONS ADMINISTRATOR TO ATTEND THE 38TH ANNUAL ELECTIONS CENTER IN NATIONAL CONFERENCE.

NUMBER SIX, MS. TAN SMITH.

[6. Tandi Smith; Discuss/Consider approval for Elections Administrator to attend the 38th Annual Election Center National Conference and CERA Education Sessions to be held August 26-31, 2023 in Orlando, FL]

AND C E R A EDUCATION SESSION IS TO BE HELD AUGUST 26TH TO 31ST IN ORLANDO? CORRECT.

SO THE ELECTION CENTER IS A NATIONAL ORGANIZATION THAT IS THE ORGANIZATION THAT I ACCOMPLISHED MY SIERRA CERTIFICATION, WHICH IS A CERTIFIED ELECTIONS AND REGISTRATION ADMINISTRATOR.

IT DOES REQUIRE FOR RENEWAL EVERY THREE YEARS AND IT REQUIRES THE ATTENDANCE AT AT LEAST ONE CONFERENCE AND TWO EDUCATION SESSIONS.

SO THIS WILL GO TOWARDS NEXT YEAR'S REQUIREMENTS TO RE-CERTIFY.

SO HOW MANY HOURS DO YOU HAVE TO HAVE TO RE-CERTIFY? UM, THE COURSES ARE 10 HOUR COURSES.

IT'S TWO DAYS, UH, TWO AND A HALF DAYS.

SO ROUGHLY 33, 34 HOURS.

GOOD DEAL.

ANY QUESTIONS? WHAT FUNDS ARE YOU GONNA USE TODAY? THIS IS GONNA COME OUT OF CONFERENCE, TRAVEL AND, UM, GENERAL FUND OR ELECTIONS? BOTH BECAUSE A PORTION OF IT IS REIMBURSABLE, BUT THEY WILL NOT GIVE US THE PERCENTAGE UNTIL WE RECEIVE THE ACTUAL AGENDA.

I THAT'S FINE.

I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE.

YES MA'AM.

IT WAS GONNA BE CODE.

JUST, JUST BE SURE.

AND STAYING AIR CONDITIONING LIKE CUZ IT'LL BE HOT DOWN THERE.

FLORIDA IS NOT MY FAVORITE PLACE TO GO.

IT'S TOO HUMID.

, I NEED A MOTION TO ACCEPT FOR APPROVAL.

NO, I'LL MAKE THE MOTION.

MR. MOORE MAKES THAT MOTION.

NEED A SECOND? I'LL SECOND.

MR. MOORE.

MAKE A SECOND.

ALL IN FAVOR TO SAY AYE.

HOW'S THE, BEFORE YOU GO, HOW'S THE ELECTION GOING SO FAR? SO FAR SO GOOD.

UM, WE'RE SITTING AS OF LAST NIGHT AT ABOUT A 3.8% TURNOUT FOR EARLY VOTING.

UM, I TELL PEOPLE ALL THE TIME, IT'S IMPORTANT TO GET OUT AND VOTE IN A NOVEMBER ELECTION.

WHEN YOU HAVE A PRESIDENT ON THE BALLOT, YOU'RE GONNA SEE ABOUT AN 87% TURNOUT IN YOUR COUNTY.

IN A GUBERNATORIAL RACE, YOU'RE GONNA SEE 40 TO 60 DEPENDING ON HOW HOT IT IS.

THAT'S A GOVERNOR'S RACE.

THE SAD THING IS, IS THE REALIZATION IN THESE LOCAL ELECTIONS THAT IMPACT A LOT OF PEOPLE PERSONALLY BECAUSE IT'S YOUR CITY COUNCILMAN, IT'S YOUR MAYORS, IT'S YOUR BOARD MEMBERS, YOUR SCHOOL TRUSTEES, YOUR ESDS, TAX RATES, THINGS THAT ARE AFFECTED GREATLY.

WE TYPICALLY ONLY AVERAGE A 6% TURNOUT FOR THIS TYPE OF ELECTION.

THAT'S NOT GOOD.

OH, WE'RE NOT, WE'RE NOT EVEN MAKING THAT THOUGH, ARE WE? UM, WE'RE ON TRACK TO HIT ABOUT FIVE AND A HALF PERCENT DEPENDING ON HOW TURNOUT GOES TODAY.

UH, YESTERDAY WE SAW A SIGNIFICANT UPTICK.

I EXPECT THAT CONTINUE TODAY BECAUSE IT'S THE LAST DAY OF EARLY VOTING.

THAT'S COUNTYWIDE, COUNTYWIDE, COUNTYWIDE.

AND THEN OF COURSE, SATURDAY WE EXPAND OUT TO 18 LOCATIONS, SO WE'LL SEE A LITTLE BIT MORE.

UM, BUT JUST TO LET YOU KNOW HOW LARGE THIS ELECTION IS IN OUR COUNTY, WE HAVE 19 ENTITIES ON THIS BALLOT.

IT'S A LOT OF LOCAL JURISDICTIONS AND OUT OF OUR 95,000 REGISTERED VOTERS, 80,864 ARE ELIGIBLE TO VOTE.

AND WE'VE ONLY SEEN AS OF LAST NIGHT 3089 OF THOSE.

WELL WE GOTTA DO BETTER.

[7. Bobby Bridges; Discuss/Consider adding two additional janitorial staff to the Facilities Department,]

DISCUSSED.

CONSIDER ADDING TWO ADDITIONAL JANITOR STAFF TO THE FACILITIES DEPARTMENT.

YES SIR.

MORNING.

GOOD MORNING.

HOW YOU GUYS DOING THIS MORNING? SO, UM, I'M HERE TODAY TO TALK TO YOU GUYS ABOUT ADDING TWO JANITORIAL STAFF ON.

UM, WE'VE HAD FOUR MONTHS NOW OVER AT THE JUSTICE CENTER TO KIND OF GAUGE ON WHERE WE'RE AT.

YOU KNOW, THAT 98,000 SQUARE FEET WE HAVE OVER THERE.

THAT'S, WE HAVE THREE JANITORIAL STAFF CURRENTLY WORKING THERE AT NIGHT.

UM, THE EXPANSION IS SOMEWHAT SCHEDULED TO BE COMPLETED, YOU KNOW, JUNE, JULY, EARLY AUGUST TIMEFRAME.

SO I WOULD LIKE TO GET TWO MORE PEOPLE IN NOW SO WE CAN GET 'EM TRAINED, UH, GET 'EM READY TO GO SO WHEN THE EXPANSION DOES OPEN, WE HAVE COVERAGE THERE AND THEY'RE ALREADY TRAINED AND READY TO GO.

BUT IT WOULD ALSO, IT WOULD, IT ACTUALLY HELPED RELIEVE A LITTLE PRESSURE ON MY PEOPLE AT NIGHT THAT ARE WORKING AT THE JUSTICE CENTER CURRENTLY.

I MEAN, THERE'S THREE LADIES THAT'S A LOT OF, A LOT TO CLEAN.

UM, A LOT OF UPKEEP

[00:15:01]

ON THE FLOORS.

UH, I MEAN THE, IN THE BACK OFFICE AREA YOU HAVE THAT BLACK VINYL FLOORING.

SO ANYTIME ANYBODY GOES OUTSIDE AND THEY COME BACK IN, I MEAN, IT, IT JUST TRACKS AND YOU SEE IT.

SO IT IS A DAILY MOPPING EVERY DAY THEY HAVE TO MOP THAT AREA.

UM, THERE'S 26, 27 BATHROOMS IN THAT PLACE.

UM, I HAVE ONE LADY THAT WORKS DURING THE DAY OVER THERE FOR JANITORIAL AND BASICALLY SHE'S RESTOCKING THE BATHROOMS ALL DAY.

I MEAN, YOU, I'M SURE YOU SEE HER IN THERE.

UM, AND THAT'S JUST A, THAT'S A JOB IN ITSELF, JUST KEEPING 26, 27 BATHROOMS CLEAN.

UM, SO I'M, I'M COMING TODAY JUST ASKING IF THERE'S, YOU KNOW, I'VE, I'VE GOT MONEY IN MY JANITORIAL, UH, SERVICES LINE ITEM.

I HAVE 10,000 IN THERE.

UM, I SPOKE TO MS. KAREN AND MS. KAREN RAN THE NUMBERS UP AND I THINK IT WAS A LITTLE OVER $14,000 TO GET US THROUGH THE END OF THE YEAR.

UM, BUT I GOT 10 TO COVER IT.

MS. KAREN WAS GRACIOUS ENOUGH TO FIND 4,000 AND SOME CHANGE TO HELP COVER THAT.

UM, I DID, IF YOU'VE SEEN IN THE, THE EMAIL STUFF THAT I HAD SENT IN TO ANNABELLE, YOU'LL SEE WHAT THE TOTAL, THE NUMBERS THAT I PUT IN THERE ARE THE TOTAL COST NUMBERS.

UM, KNOWING THAT NEXT YEAR WHEN WE COME TO BUDGET, WE'RE GONNA BE ASKING FOR THESE TWO PEOPLE TO BE FULL-TIME NEXT YEAR AS WELL.

SO YOU HAVE THE ALL IN NUMBERS.

YOU GOT TO SEE WHAT THAT IS.

SO, UH, JUST ASK FOR, UH, SOME HELP.

WELL, THERE'S NO WAY THAT THOSE PEOPLE CAN KEEP THAT BIG BUILDING PLUS THE OTHER BUILDINGS.

AT THE SAME TIME IT'S JUST, AND THEY'RE GONNA BE ON VACATION, THEY'RE GONNA BE SICK AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHATEVER.

AND SO THERE COMES THE ROAD.

I I AIN'T TO SAY THE ONE PERSON YOU HAVE DURING THE DAY OVER THERE TO GET TO SEE IT.

I KNOW.

WE, WHEN WE DO THAT, WE PULL THEORA OR WE PULL A LUPE IN.

I KNOW.

YOU KNOW, AND THEN IT MAKES THE OTHER BUILDINGS NOT GET AT ALL.

EXACTLY.

TERRELL FORNEY, YOU KNOW, EVEN KEMP AREA, YOU KNOW, THAT'S, I MEAN WE HAVE TWO RUNNERS REALLY, YOU KNOW, AND WE'VE GOT QUITE A BIT OF TRAVELING FOR THOSE GIRLS TO DO.

AND THAT'S A LOT OF SPACE FOR, FOR THEM.

YOU CAN ALWAYS CALL 'EM THE COMMISSIONERS TO FILL IN IF YOU MM-HMM.

WELL GO AHEAD AND CALL THAT WORKS FOR YOU.

CAN I ASK SAY SOMETHING? YES, MA'AM.

UM, THIS IS JUST THROUGH THE LAST PAY PERIOD OF SEPTEMBER.

AND IF THEY'RE NOT ALREADY AN EMPLOYEE AND THEY'RE NEW, IT'S GONNA BE 60 DAYS BEFORE THEY'D BE ELIGIBLE FOR INSURANCE.

UM, I'M PROBABLY GONNA OPEN A CAN OF WORMS, BUT I'M GONNA DO IT.

WE HAVE A CONTRACT WITH THE PET ADOPTION CENTER.

WE ALSO HAVE A CONTRACT WITH A MAN THAT CLEANS THE PET ADOPTION CENTER.

AND WE STARTED WRITING HIM CHECKS AND WE FOUND OUT THE CHECKS WERE SUPPOSED TO GO TO THE PET ADOPTION CENTER AND THEY PAY THE MAN.

SO HE HAD TO REFUND US MONEY, PAYING OUT A LOT OF MONEY FOR CLEANING THAT WOULD PROBABLY PAY FOR ANOTHER PERSON AND I'LL SHUT UP.

WELL LET ME ON, ON RESPONSE TO THE PET ADOPTION CENTER.

THEIR CONTRACT SAYS THEY'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR CLEANING OF THEIR BUILDING.

SO WHY ARE WE SENDING PEOPLE OVER THERE OR AND PAYING FOR 'EM WHENEVER THEY'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING TO GET THEIR BUILDING CLEAN? SEE, THAT'S WHAT WE THOUGHT TOO, MICHAEL.

THAT'S WHAT THE CONTRACT SAYS.

HE ASKED, SENT US THE INVOICE AND WE PAID IT THE SECOND MONTH WE PAID HIM AGAIN AND THEN THEY SAID, NO, YOU'RE TO SEND THE MONEY TO US AND WE PAY FOR IT.

AND I HAD TO ASK THE MAN, HE'D ALREADY CASHED ONE CHECK AND THE MAN SENT ME BACK.

THE SECOND CHECK WAS WRITTEN.

WELL THIS IS NOT ON THE AGENDA, SO, OKAY.

LEAVE FOR NEXT WEEK.

SO LET'S, OKAY.

SO THE FOLLOWING, THE FOLLOWING PAYMENT THAT WE MADE TO THE NORTH TEXAS BEHAVIOR OR WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL HIM, I DEDUCTED THAT I DIDN'T PAY IT.

SO WE'LL PUT, WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT NEXT WEEK.

COMMISSIONER WILL MAKE SECOND.

SO BACK TO THE BOBBY AND THESE ADDITIONAL TWO STAFF THAT HE NEEDS, THAT'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING THIS NEEDS.
