May 30, 2023 Commissioners Court

MR. BARBARA MAKES A SECOND.

MS. SUE STALER, YOU COME FORWARD.

MOTION CARRIES.

THANK YOU

[3. Sue Stalder; Discuss/Consider proclaiming the month of June as Elder Abuse Awareness Month.]

PLEASE, MA'AM.

SO SHE IS HERE TO CONSIDER TO DISCUSS PROCLAIMING THE MONTH OF JUNE AS ELDER ABUSE AWARENESS MONTH.

YES, MA'AM.

THANK YOU ALL FOR HAVING US.

UM, APS EXIST TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR SENIORS AND OUR DISABLED ADULTS REMAIN SAFE AND WE IDEALLY WOULD LIKE THEM TO REMAIN SAFE IN THEIR HOMES FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE.

AND THESE LADIES HERE TODAY WITH ME, THIS IS SUPERVISOR TRACY MOSER AND PROGRAM ADMINISTRATOR AMANDA SUTHERLAND.

THEY OVERSEE OUR BOOTS ON THE GROUND, OUR WORKERS THAT GO INTO THE HOMES AND MAKE SURE THAT OUR SENIORS AND DISABLED ARE SAFE.

AND SO WE APPRECIATE Y'ALL BEING WILLING TO PROCLAIM JUNE AS ELDER ABUSE AWARENESS MONTH.

SURE.

YOU KNOW, MOST OF US ARE ELDERLY .

WE'RE ALL, I WAS JUST GONNA SAY, YOU KNOW, THAT'S A GOOD THING.

IT IS A GOOD THING.

IT IS.

SO HOW MANY WORKERS DO YOU HAVE? THE YOU SUPERVISED? I SUPERVISED HUNT ROCKWELL AND KAUFMAN COUNTIES.

AND I HAVE AT TWO WORKERS, UH, WE PRODUCE ENOUGH IN KAUFMAN COUNTY THAT IT REQUIRES TWO WORKERS WOW.

TO WORK THOSE CASES MONTHLY.

UM, I DIDN'T LOOK AT THE NUMBERS.

DID YOU? WE HAVE 'EM ON THE PROCLAMATION THERE.

THE AMOUNT OF WAS THINKING, UM, INVESTIGATIONS.

WHAT IS, WHAT ARE THE MORE COMMON TYPE ABUSES THAT YOU SEE? CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG LADIES, BUT A LOT IS SELF NEGLECT.

AS PEOPLE GET OLDER AND, UM, YOU KNOW, MAYBE THEY'RE STRUGGLING WITH SOME DEMENTIA ISSUES OR PERHAPS THEY'VE JUST LOST THEIR SPOUSE AND LOST THEIR WILL TO LIVE.

THEY TEND TO SELF NEGLECT.

WOW.

AND SO THEY MIGHT, UH, NOT BE EATING PROPERLY OR TAKING THE MEDICATIONS THAT THEY NEED TO BE TAKING.

AND IT MIGHT JUST REQUIRE A, UM, AN INDIVIDUAL TO GO IN WITH COMPASSION AND TRY TO BUILD THEM BACK UP AND GET THEM BACK ON TRACK.

OR THEY'VE BEEN VERY INDEPENDENT THEIR WHOLE LIVES HAVEN'T NEEDED ANYONE ELSE.

AND AS THEY'VE GOTTEN OLDER, THAT NEEDS INCREASED AND THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO ACCESS THE RESOURCES THAT WOULD HELP THEM.

AND HOW DO YOU FIND OUT ABOUT THESE PEOPLE? WE HAVE A HOTLINE THAT'S ANSWERED 24 HOURS A DAY.

SEVEN DAYS A WEEK.

AND ANYONE CAN REPORT, THEY CAN REMAIN ANONYMOUS IF THEY WOULD, IF THEY WOULD LIKE.

MANY OF THESE CASES INVESTIGATED BY THE ADULT PROTECTION SERVICES IN TEXAS INVOLVE SELF NEGLECT.

BUT WE NEVER REVEAL REPORTERS.

AND IT IS HELPFUL TO HAVE THE REPORTERS' NAME AND CONTACT NUMBER JUST TO GET FIRSTHAND INFORMATION, OUR WORKERS.

SURE.

WELL THAT'S GREAT.

THAT'S GREAT.

SO I WOULD LIKE TO READ THIS PROCLAMATION IF I MAY, WHEREAS THE PEOPLE WHO ARE ELDERLY AND HAVE DISABILITIES HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE GENERAL WELFARE OF KAUFFMAN COUNTY BY HELPING TO PRESERVE CUSTOMS, CONVICTIONS, AND TRADITIONS OF MANY PEOPLE FROM DIVERSE BACKGROUNDS.

AND WHEREAS THESE RESIDENTS ARE VITAL AND INTEGRAL MEMBERS OF OUR SOCIETY AND THEIR WISDOM EXPERIENCE HAVE ENRICHED OUR LIVES.

AND WHEREAS ABUSE OF THE ELDERLY AND, AND PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES IN DOMESTIC AND INSTITUTIONAL SETTINGS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM AFFECTING HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

AND WHEREAS THE TEXAS APS IN-HOME CASE WORKERS IN KAUFFMAN COUNTY HAVE INVESTIGATED 297 CASES OF ABUSE, NEGLECT, AND OR EXPLOITATION AGAINST THE ELDERLY TEXANS WHO ARE THOSE WHO I HAVE DISABILITIES IN 2022.

WHEREAS ELDER ABUSE IS GROSSLY UNREPORTED BECAUSE THE ELDERLY WHO BEING ABUSED FIND IT VERY DIFFICULT TO TELL ANYONE AND ARE USUALLY ASHAMED OF SOMETIMES AFRAID.

WHEREAS ELDERLY ABUSE HAPPENS TO MEN AND WOMEN OF ALL INCOME LEVELS AND CULTURAL AND ETHNIC GROUPS, WHETHER THEY'RE IN GOOD HEALTH OR INCAPACITATED IN SOME WAY IN POOR NEIGHBORHOODS OR IN SUBURBIA.

AND WHEREAS

[00:05:01]

IT IS OUR DUTY AS CITIZENS TO REACH OUT TO THESE PEOPLE IN NEED NOW, THEREFORE, WE, THE KAUFMAN COUNTY COMMISSIONER SHORT TO HEREBY PROCLAIM THE MONTH OF JUNE OF 2023 TO BE ELDER ABUSE PREVENTION MONTH IN KAUFMAN COUNTY AND URGE ALL CITIZENS TO WORK TOGETHER TO HELP REDUCE ABUSE AND NEGLECT PEOPLE WHO ARE ELDERLY AND ARE HAVE DISABILITIES DATED THIS 30TH DAY OF MAY, 2023.

AND YOU KNOW, ONE THING IS SO TRUE, PEOPLE OF THIS AGE CATEGORY ARE DIFFERENT THAN I THINK OUR YOUNGER GENERATIONS.

THEY'RE VERY SELF PROCLAIMED INDEPENDENT AND THEY DON'T WANT ANY HELP AND WON'T SAY I NEED HELP.

RIGHT.

AND SO SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO JUST ALMOST FORCE THEM TO, HEY, LET ME HELP YOU.

AND OUR STAFF IS ESPECIALLY TRAINED TO GO IN AND BE VERY COMPASSIONATE AND UNDERSTANDING TOWARDS THAT.

AND SO MAYBE A FAMILY MEMBER CAN'T GET THEM TO AGREE TO SOMETHING, BUT MAYBE ONE OF OUR WORKERS CAN.

THAT'S SO TRUE.

THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DO.

AND IT HAS TO BE A LOVE AND COMPASSION TO DO THIS AND IT'S VERY MUCH APPRECIATED.

SO I NEED A MOTION FROM WHEN YOU GENTLEMEN, I'LL MAKE THE MOTION COMMISSION HUNT MAKES THE MOTION.

NEED A SECOND? I'LL SECOND.

COMMISSIONER PHELPS, MAKE A SECOND.

NO MOTION CARRIE.

THANK YOU.

AND WE'D LIKE TO GET A GROUP PICTURE.

IF Y'ALL WILL COME OVER HERE.

NEED TO GET, I'M GONNA TAKE ONE WITH MY CAMERA AND THEN YOUR, WE'RE GONNA GIVE Y'ALL SKE NUMBER WHEN THIS IS OVER.

HOLD ON, HOLD ON, HOLD ON, HOLD ON.

I'M OVER HERE.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH LADIES.

[4. Shannon Tijerina; Discuss/Consider motion to approve final plat for Morton Estates Phase 2 located on County Road 321 in Pet. 3.]

SHANNON TERINA.

DISCUSSED, CONSIDERED A MOTION TO APPROVE THE FINAL PLATFORM.

MARTIN ESTATE'S PHASE TWO, LOCATED IN KAUFMAN COUNTY ROAD 3 21 IN PRECINCT THREE MORNING.

GOOD MORNING.

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE.

MORNING MORTON ESTATES PHASE TWO IS APPROXIMATELY 13.44 ACRES LOCATED IN PRECINCT THREE.

THE CLIENT IS SPLITTING INTO EIGHT LOTS, RANGING IN SIZE FROM 1.34 TO 2.24 ACRES.

ALL APPROVING AUTHORITIES HAVE REVIEWED AND SIGNED OFF AND WE ARE HERE TODAY ASKING FOR THE COURT'S APPROVAL FOR THE FINAL PLA.

MR. BARBARA, THIS IS IN YOUR PRECINCT.

MR. BARBARA MADE THE MOTION.

DO A SECOND.

FIRST HUNT MAKES, I MEAN MAY BILL MAKES THE SECOND.

[5. Jack Sebastian; Discuss/Consider price increase requests for Annual Contract: RFQ 21-08 Various Road Materials.]

FIVE.

MR. JACK SEBASTIAN, DISCUSS, CONSIDER PRICE INCREASE REQUEST FOR ANNUAL CONTRACT RFQ 21 DASH OH EIGHT VARIOUS ROAD MATERIALS.

YES SIR.

GOOD MORNING GENTLEMEN.

I BELIEVE YOU HAVE UH, UH, THE COPIES I SENT YOU GUYS, UH, LAST WEEK.

AREOSA AND TEXAS BID ARE REQUESTING A PRICE INCREASE.

UH, THAT BID WAS DONE IN, IN APRIL OF 21.

IT WAS FIRM PRICING FOR SIX MONTHS AND UH, ALLOWS PRICE INCREASES, UH, IF THE COURT APPROVES THAT.

AND, UH, SO THAT CONTRACT'S OVER TWO YEARS OLD.

SO IF YOU GUYS WERE ON BOARD THAT I'D MAKE THAT RECOMMENDATION.

WHAT DO YOU SEE THE AVERAGE PRICE INCREASE GOING FROM IN TWO JACK? UH, TEXAS BIT WAS 30% AND I BELIEVE OUR COSA IS PRETTY CLOSE.

PROBABLY AVERAGE IT ? YEAH.

WHAT WAS AROSA? UH, NOT THAT MUCH.

IT'S, IT'S KIND ALL OVER THE BOARD.

UH OKAY.

WAS NOT MUCH, BUT USUALLY ROCK WAS UP.

UH, IT'S KIND ALL OVER.

WE DON'T REALLY HAVE MUCH TO CHOOSE FROM.

ARCO HAS PRETTY WELL GOT THIS WRAPPED UP AND IT'S A SHAME BECAUSE SOME OF THE MATERIALS WE'VE BEEN GETTING FROM THEM LATELY ARE SUBPAR.

REALLY? WE'RE JUST NOT HAPPY WITH IT.

THIS THE ASPHALT TYPE? NO, IT'S RUBBER.

IT'S MOSTLY JUST DIRT, DIRT ROUNDUP.

I MEAN IT'S JUST NOT VERY GOOD MATERIAL, BUT, AND I WILL SAY IT, IT IS TIME TO REBID THAT.

AND THAT, THAT'S, THAT'S KIND OF UNUSUAL TO HAVE A CONTRACT THAT LONG.

UH, I'M SURE IT WAS DONE THAT WAY BECAUSE OF THE BOND MONEY.

BUT TYPICALLY, UH, THEY'RE A YEAR, YEAR LONG.

IT'S, I I THINK, WELL, I THINK WE HAVE OTHER CHOICES THERE.

THAT'S WHERE YOU REVISIT THAT.

BUT, UH, WE'LL BE PUTTING THAT OUT AGAIN HERE, PROBABLY ANOTHER MONTH OR SO.

GOOD.

YOU KNOW, IF THAT'S THE CASE, IF WE'RE GETTING INFERIOR PRODUCT, CAN YOU GO TO SOME OTHER SOURCE EVEN THOUGH IT MIGHT BE HIGHER IF

[00:10:01]

I HAVE TO LOOK INTO THAT CUZ YEAH.

MY, MY, MY FOREMAN SAID IT'S, IT'S REALLY BEEN SOME BAD STUFF HERE LATELY.

AND UH, MATTER OF FACT, WE'VE, WE'VE HEARD THROUGH THE GRAPEVINE TOO THAT, UH, SOME OF THE COMPANIES THAT BUY FROM THEM, UH, WERE HAVING A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH IT AS WELL.

AND THEIR, THEIR ROADS AREN'T HOLDING UP THAT THEY'RE PUTTING THAT STUFF DOWN FOR.

YOU'RE JUST SPENDING GOOD MONEY AFTER BAD AGAIN.

YEAH, EXACTLY.

YOU CAN'T DO THAT.

HE GLAD TO PUT THAT BID OUT EARLIER.

IF YOU GUYS WERE READY TO PUT THAT OUT, WE CAN CERTAINLY DO THAT.

YEAH, I'LL BRING YOU HONOR.

ALRIGHT.

SO I HAVE A REQUEST FROM JACK.

I NEED A MOTION.

MAKE THAT MOTION.

MR. BARBER MAKES A MOTION.

NEED A SECOND? SECOND.

THANK MR. PHILLIPS.

MOTION CARRIES.

THANK YOU JACK

[6. Jack Sebastian; Discuss/Consider proposed changes to Purchasing policy.]

AGAIN.

NUMBER SIX, DISCUSSED, CONSIDERED PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE PURCHASING POLICY.

I BELIEVE YOU GENTLEMEN HAVE A COPY OF THE, UH, PROCEDURES THAT I SENT, UH, UH, THAT WERE, UH, THE CURRENT PROCEDURES AND THEN THOSE THAT ARE PROPOSED, UH, THE NEW SOFTWARE, UH, THAT GIVE US ABILITY TO DO, DO A COUPLE OTHER THINGS THAT WE'RE NOT DOING NOW.

UH, ONE OF THE MAIN THINGS THAT I PROPOSED CHANGING IS THE, UH, UH, DOING AWAY WITH THE BLANKET PO.

AND THIS NEW SYSTEM WILL ALLOW THE DEPARTMENTS TO CREATE A REQUISITION OR PO UP TO A THOUSAND DOLLARS ON THEIR OWN.

UH, THE BLANKET PO WAS, WAS, UH, ACTUALLY CAPPED AT $500.

UH, I KNOW WE PROBABLY EXCEEDED THAT, BUT THAT'S WHAT WAS APPROVED IN, IN THE, UH, IN 2020 ON THE POLICY.

BUT, UH, I THINK THIS THOUSAND DOLLAR WOULD HELP A LOT OF FOLKS, UH, NOT COME TO MY OFFICE, YOU KNOW, ME SLOW THEM DOWN ON, ON MINOR PURCHASES.

AND THEN THE OTHER, OTHER END OF THAT TOO WOULD BE WE'RE TAGGING, UH, ANYTHING OVER $500 CURRENTLY.

AND SO THE PURPOSE OF THIS WOULD LET THE DEPARTMENTS BUY UP TO A THOUSAND AND WE WOULD START TAGGING AT A THOUSAND.

AND, UH, THAT WOULD KIND OF CLEAN UP OUR INVENTORY.

UH, WE HAVE A LOT OF THINGS NOW THAT ARE 10 YEARS OLD, 15 YEARS OLD THAT WERE 500 THE DOLLARS.

SO WE'RE DROPPING THOSE OFF AND THAT'S, THAT'LL ALL BE DONE ON, ON THE CONVERSION.

SO THAT NOW'S A GOOD TIME TO DO THAT.

I'LL MAKE A RECOMMENDATION.

ANY QUESTIONS? NO COMMENT.

THE MOTION IN, I'LL MAKE A MOTION.

CHRIS PHELPS MAKES MOTION.

HAVE A SECOND.

ILL SECOND.

MAKE A SECOND.

WE HAVE MS. PAM CARTER DISCUSS, CONSIDER APPLYING FOR FY 2024 SOLID WASTE IMPLEMENTATION GRANT THROUGH THE NORTH TEXAS CENTRAL COUNCIL GOVERNMENTS FOR FUNDING TO BE ABLE TO HOLD FREE HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE EVENTS.

[7. Pam Corder; Discuss/Consider applying for FY 2024 Solid Waste Implementation Grant through the North Central Texas Council of Governments for funding to be able to hold Free Household Hazardous events.]

SO REALLY WHAT WE, WHAT WE'RE DOING EVERY TWO YEARS IS STILL HAPPENING IS JUST IN FOUR DIFFERENT LOCATIONS.

YES, MA'AM.

SO WE HAVE OF COURSE APPLIED FOR THESE IN THE PAST.

UM, THE LAST, UH, THEY'RE EVERY TWO YEARS THROUGH THE COG.

AND THE LAST TIME WE RECEIVED IT, THEY DID TELL US THAT THEY DIDN'T LIKE US DOING JUST ONE TIME EVENTS.

THEY WANTED TO BE A MORE SUSTAINABLE EVENT.

BUT, UM, THE, THE ALSO THE COMMENTS THEY MADE WERE, WE SHOULD BUY SOMETHING LIKE A CRUD CRUISER.

SO I LOOKED IT UP.

A CRUD CRUISER IS A 52 FOOT TRAILER THAT'S WRAPPED AND IT SAYS CRUD CRUISER IN IT IN THESE BIG CITIES LIKE ARLINGTON, FORT WORTH, BEDFORD, THEY MOVE IT AROUND AND THEY HAVE EVENTS.

WELL, THAT'S NOT WHAT WE NEED.

WE NEED THE HELP TO PAY FOR THE EVENT AND WE CAN GET A CONTRACTOR TO DO TO HAUL IT FOR US.

AND SO, UM, I TRIED TO GET INNOVATIVE IN HOW WE COULD DO IT.

AND SO I WOULD LIKE TO ASK FOR IF YOU APPROVE TO DO FOUR OR DO QUARTERLY EVENTS, BUT IN THE UNDERSERVED COMMUNITY.

SO GO OUT TO ELMO, GO OUT TO GRACE PRAIRIE, BEAUTIFUL ACRES, SET IT UP IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD.

WE, OF COURSE T C Q HAS TO APPROVE WHERE IT IS, SO MAYBE IN A CHURCH PARKING LOT OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, BUT THEN WE'RE MORE VISIBLE AND THOSE PEOPLE WHO USUALLY DON'T TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT WHEN WE HOST IT HERE IN KAUFMAN, MAYBE THEY WOULD TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT THERE.

UM, I JUST DON'T SEE US APPLYING FOR THE NEED TO APPLY FOR AN ACTUAL PIECE OF EQUIPMENT, BUT TO HAVE THESE EVENTS PAID FOR.

SO, UM, IF WE APPLIED FOR THOSE, IT WOULD BE ABOUT ALMOST $60,000 TO HOST IT FOUR TIMES A YEAR THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY.

AND I WOULD WORK WITH EACH OF YOU COMMISSIONERS TO FIND A NEIGHBORHOOD THAT YOU THINK IS UNDERSERVED AND WHO MIGHT NEED HELP GETTING RID OF THEIR OILS, PESTICIDES, HERBICIDES, ANYTHING LIKE THAT THAT'S EXPIRED AND THAT THEY NEED TO DISPOSE OF PROPERLY.

WELL, OUR REFUGE, UH, GURU ON THE, ON THE TABLE DOWN HERE.

WHAT, WHAT'S YOUR THOUGHTS? ? .

WELL, YOU KNOW, I, I, THESE, IT WOULD WORK THE SAME IF WE DID AT FOUR DIFFERENT LOCATIONS, JUST LIKE WE DID AT THE SOUTH CAMPUS.

IT WOULD, IT'S THE SAME SERVING THE WHOLE COUNTY IS JUST GONNA BE HOUSED AT ONE OR FOUR DIFFERENT SPOTS MM-HMM.

IN THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS.

[00:15:01]

SO EVERYBODY'S STILL WELCOME TO COME.

I I I THINK THAT IF WE CAN GET THE GRANT, I MEAN, WE'RE FOOLISH NOT TO TRY TO GET THE GRANT.

UH, IT'S JUST VERY EXPENSIVE TO DO THE HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WEIGHTS.

, I MEAN IT'S, IT'S, IT'S UNREAL EXPENSIVE, BUT, AND WE DON'T WANT TO TAKE COLLECTION OF THAT STUFF EITHER.

BECAUSE IT'S REAL EXPENSIVE TO GET RID OF IT.

TO GET RID OF.

EXACTLY.

SO, UM, I, SO WE MOVE FORWARD AND APPLY FOR THE GRANT AND THEN I THINK DURING BUDGET TIME, I MEAN, WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS STUFF.

THE TIRES, HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE.

IT'S VERY EXPENSIVE.

ALL THE, THE, THE LANDFILLS, ALL THIS STUFF COSTS THE CITIZENS THAT COMAN COUNTY A LOT OF MONEY, BUT, AND IT'S NOT GETTING ANY CHEAPER.

SO WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO ADDRESS SOME OF THIS STUFF WITH THE BUDGET.

IF WE CAN'T MOVE FORWARD WITH GRANTS, I MEAN, WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO DO IT.

WE'RE WE'RE GETTING IT ANYWAY, WHETHER THEY PUT IT OFF THE ROADS OR WHATEVER, BUT WE NEED TO, IF WE CAN GET THE GRANTS, IT'S A GREAT THING.

AND, AND, AND PAM HAS BEEN REAL SUCCESSFUL IN GETTING THESE THINGS.

SHE'S ON THE BOARD SO THEY KNOW HER.

SHE'S, SHE'S THERE AT THE MEETINGS.

SO THERE'S RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATIONSHIPS WILL GET YOU A LOT MORE THAN JUST, YOU KNOW, SO.

RIGHT.

I THINK SHE'S GOING OVER AND BEYOND TO TRY TO GET IT.

AND ONE OF THE KEY TALKING POINTS FOR ME IS THAT OUR COMMUNITY IS GROWING AND THE PEOPLE WHO ARE MOVING INTO OUR COMMUNITY, THEY HAVE MOVED FROM CURBSIDE RECYCLING, YOU KNOW, PROGRAMS AND THEY'RE COMING OUT HERE AND IT'S LIKE, OH, WE, WE DON'T HAVE THAT.

RIGHT.

AND SO THEY DON'T KNOW WHERE TO GET RID OF THEIR ITEMS. SURE.

IT MAY OR MAY NOT BE SOMETHING THAT THEY, THAT THEY ARE, ARE GONNA PICK.

I JUST FEEL LIKE WE SHOULD APPLY FOR IT.

UM, PERIOD.

YOU KNOW, WE SHOULD TRY.

I'M, I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT.

EXACTLY.

APPLY FOR IT.

I I'M, I'M BIG AT SAYING THEY CAN'T EAT YOU, RIGHT? YEAH.

FINE.

SO I MEAN, JUST, JUST WE ALREADY HAVE A NO IF THEY DON'T, IF WE DON'T TRY, SO LET'S, BUT WE, BUT IF IT DOESN'T COME THROUGH, WE DO NEED TO HAVE THESE SERIOUS DISCUSSIONS DURING BUDGET TIME.

SO IT'S A REALITY.

SORRY, YOU PUT DOWN THE FORM OF A MOTION IN I'M MAY FORM OF THE MOTION.

YES.
