PRESENT, ACCEPT THE TREASURE'S MONTHLY REPORT.

GOOD MORNING, JUDGE.

COMMISSIONERS.

MORNING.

WE, UH, ENDED NOVEMBER WITH, UH, $7.7 MILLION IN FUND 10.

WE EARNED INTEREST IN AMERICAN NATIONAL BANK OF 1000 641 77 EARNINGS ON UH, T POOL AND TEXAS CLASS 379,574.

AND UH, WE HAVE A TOTAL OF 10 MILLION 112 561 INVESTED IN SPOOL AS OF THE END OF NOVEMBER, UH, 69, UH, 69,607,226

[00:05:01]

IN TEXAS CLASS.

WE ARE EARNING 5.6138% RIGHT NOW IN TEPO AND 5.5859% ON TEXAS CLASS.

THE, UH, TOTAL, UH, COUNTY FUNDS AT AMERICAN NATIONAL BANK, 47,119,000.

THE, UH, VALUE OF THE PLEDGE SECURITIES AT THE END OF THE MONTH, 53,749,262.

SO WE'RE COLLATERALIZED AT 114%.

THE UH, PERCENTAGE, UH, OF OUR CASH INVESTED AT THIS, UH, TIME IS 62.85%.

WE WROTE 374 RECEIPTS DURING THE MONTH FOR $4,898,755.

AND FOR THE, UH, CALENDAR YEAR TO DATE FOR, UH, INVESTED, UH, CASH, WE HAVE EARNED $5.1 MILLION.

OF COURSE INFLATION'S UP, BUT STILL THAT'S TRUE.

AND THEY'RE PREDICTING THE, UH, INTEREST RATES WILL START COMING DOWN AROUND THE, UH, FOURTH QUARTER OF NEXT YEAR.

FUNNY HOW THAT COINCIDES THAT WAY.

DON'T GUARANTEE TODAY.

THAT'S TRUE.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR OUR TREASURER? I LIKE MY COMMENT THOUGH.

LAST WEEK I MET WITH, UH, THE TREASURER AND KIND WENT OVER SOME OF HIS JOB DUTIES AND WHAT HE DOES FOR THE COUNTY AND I THINK THAT GOES UNRECOGNIZED.

SO I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR ALL THE HARD WORK YOU DO.

HE KEEPS UP WITH ALL OF OUR, UH, INVESTMENTS AND EVERYTHING DAILY AND IS A PRETTY NEAT PROCESS ON HOW WHAT HE DOES.

SO I, I THINK SURE IT IS.

THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO ON THAT.

THANK YOU.

JUDGE'S ALWAYS DOING A GREAT JOB.

MAKE SOME MOTION TO HAVE A SECOND.

TOMMY, YOU MAKE A SECOND.

THANK YOU CHUCK.

THANK YOU.

SIGN THAT BACK TO ME.

[5. Shannon Roden: Discuss/Approve the Preliminary Plat for Valencia Located on State Highway 243 and CR 103 in Precinct 1.]

GOOD MORNING.

THE VALENCIA DEVELOPMENT IS APPROXIMATELY 841 ACRES LOCATED ON STATE HIGHWAY 2 43 COUNTY ROAD 1 0 3 IN PRECINCT ONE.

THIS DEVELOPMENT WILL BE CONSTRUCTED IN SIX PHASES CONSISTING OF 1,855 LOTS FOR SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL USE.

THE PRELIMINARY REVIEW PROCESS FOR THE MASTER PLAN HAS BEEN APPROVED BY OUR CONSULTING ENGINEER, TEGNA AND PERKINS.

WE DO HAVE REPRESENTATIVES FROM KAYANO DEVELOPMENT AND LJA ENGINEERING HERE WITH US TODAY.

IF YOU ALL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THEM, THEY'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE.

OKAY? YES.

UH, THEY HAVE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK.

UH, WE GOT MATTHEW LONG, WILLIAM ROBINSON, VINCE STANKO, IS THAT RIGHT? AND BLAKE BRADLEY, IF Y'ALL LIKE TO COME FORWARD PLEASE.

THANK YOU, JUDGE.

GOOD MORNING.

GOOD MORNING COMMISSIONERS.

AYE MR. HUNT, GO AHEAD.

OH, UH, IS ARE THERE ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS ABOUT THE, UH, THE SUBDIVISION THAT YOU GUYS WOULD LIKE US TO FEEL, UH, WHILE WE'RE HERE TODAY? I DO.

'CAUSE WHEN Y'ALL MET WITH ME IN THE OFFICE YES SIR.

THERE WAS NO SECTION EIGHT HOUSES TO BE THERE.

AND NOW THERE IS NO, NO, THERE'S NO SECTION EIGHT HOUSES.

SO THAT'S WHAT THE TRINITY VALLEY TOLD ME ELECTRIC THAT Y'ALL STATED THERE'LL BE SECTION EIGHT HOMES THERE.

NO, IT WILL ABSOLUTELY UNEQUIVOCALLY NOT BE A SECTION EIGHT HOMES.

IT'S OWNER OCCUPIED COMMUNITY.

AND EXPLAIN TO ME, WHEN YOU SAID SAID STICK HOUSES, WHAT IS A STICK HOUSE? SO OUR, OUR COMMUNITIES, UH, ALLOW A MIXTURE OF STICK-BUILT HOMES AND MANUFACTURED HOMES, WHICH ARE THE, THE, THE WHOEVER BUYS THE LOT.

UH, IT IS THEIR CHOICE ON WHAT THEY DECIDE TO PUT IN THERE.

SO, UH, MANY OF OUR CUSTOMERS WILL BUY A LOT AND THEY'LL HOLD IT OVER A FEW YEARS, UH, SAVE UP THE MONEY AND THEN BUILD A HOME.

AND SOME OF OUR CUSTOMERS WILL BUY A LOT AND THEY'LL IMMEDIATELY GO AND BUY A MANUFACTURED HOME AND PUT IT ON THERE AND START LIVING ON A LOT IMMEDIATELY.

IT'S NOT A RENTAL COMMUNITY.

WE'VE NOT RENT ANYTHING OUT.

WE DON'T ALLOW COMMERCIAL USE WITHIN THE COMMUNITY.

NOT SECTION EIGHT HOUSING.

IT'S NOTHING LIKE THAT.

SO ON THE MOBILE HOMES, YOU SAID THERE WAS A SIX YEAR THAT'S RIGHT.

HOW YOU GOING? HOW YOU GONNA MANAGE THAT? RIGHT.

SO WE HAVE STAFF, UM, THAT DRIVES OUR SUBDIVISIONS REGULARLY AND MONITOR OUR SUBDIVISIONS.

UH, OUR COMMUNITIES ARE DEEDED RESTRICTED AND OUR DEEDED RESTRICTIONS, WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO FIND PEOPLE, UM, THAT DO NOT ADHERE TO THE DEEDED RESTRICTIONS.

SO WE DRIVE, WE

[00:10:01]

TAKE INVENTORY OF WHAT PEOPLE ARE DOING, AND WE SEND OUT DEMAND LETTERS REGULARLY.

UH, IN ADDITION, WE'RE THE LENDER ON THE MAJORITY OF THESE LOTS.

UH, AND AS THE LENDER, UH, WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO FORECLOSE ON A PERSON WHO DOES NOT ADHERE TO THE DEED RESTRICTIONS.

SO YOU TOLD ME THAT YOU WERE HAVING ISSUES WITH WATER, AND I UNDERSTAND THAT COLLEGE MOUND HAD SAID NO.

THEN THE WEEKEND LATER THEY SAID YES.

SO WHAT HAPPENED THERE? YEAH, SO, UM, WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH COLLEGE MOUNTAIN ON THIS FOR, FOR SEVERAL, SEVERAL YEARS.

UM, AND IT'S ALWAYS, THEY'VE ALWAYS BEEN, YOU KNOW, VERY EASY TO WORK WITH.

AND WE'VE ACTUALLY ALREADY ENTERED INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH THEM AND WE'VE ACTUALLY ALREADY PUT SEVERAL HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS WITH THEM DURING THE DESIGN.

THERE WAS A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME WHERE WHEN WE DID THE NOTIFICATION, DID NOTIFICATIONS OF, UH, OF THIS COMMUNITY THAT THERE WAS AN ERROR ON A, UH, ON A, ON A NOTIFICATION FORM THAT SAID, WE WANT THAT WE WOULD HAVE WATER RIGHTS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY, WHICH WE DO NOT WANT.

UM, NOR DO WE NEED, AND THAT MADE COLLEGE MOUND NERVOUS THAT WE WOULD SOMEHOW TRY TO TAKE THEIR CONTROL OF ADMINISTERING WATER, WHICH WE HAVE NO, WHICH WE HAVE NO, UH, DESIRE TO DO AT ALL.

NO, NO.

TO DO.

IT'S NOT OUR, IT'S THEIR CCN.

AND SO WE HAD, UH, OUR LAWYER WORK WITH COLLEGE MOUNDS LAWYER TO GET TO A POINT WHERE, UM, THERE WILL BE A, A, UH, THAT WE WILL WORK WITH TCEQ TO AMEND OUR RIGHTS.

UH, SO WE WILL NO LONGER BE ABLE TO SERVE THE COMMUNITY WITH WATER AND COLLEGE MOUNTAIN WILL RETAIN THAT.

AND SO WE'RE ALL FINE GOING FORWARD.

SO YOU NEED TO EXPLAIN TO THE COURT ABOUT YOUR SEWER.

UH, AND SO, UM, WE WILL BE BUILDING A, A WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT.

UM, THE, THE REASON WE WANT TO DO THIS WAS TO GIVE, UM, ESSENTIALLY, UH, YOU KNOW, SINCE IT'S A LARGER COMMUNITY, UM, BETTER CONTROL OVER KIND OF THE, THE SEWER AND THE SUBDIVISION AND NOT HAVE, UH, INDIVIDUAL, UM, SEPTIC SYSTEMS ACROSS THE WHOLE SUBDIVISION, WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT BE MAINTAINED, UM, BY THE, BY THE CITIZENS THAT OWN THE LOTS.

AND SO THERE'LL BE A WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT THAT IS BUILT, UM, THAT IS MAINTAINED, OWNED AND MAINTAINED BY, UH, A, A, A PRIVATE UTILITY COMPANY THAT MANAGES LOTS ACTUALLY ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES.

UH, THEY DO OTHER COMMUNITIES FOR US.

THEY DO AN EXCELLENT JOB.

UH, THEY'RE ON SITE FIVE DAYS A WEEK TAKING TESTS, MAKING SURE ALL THE LEVELS ARE, UM, ARE, UH, COMPLIANT AND, AND REPORTING THOSE LEVELS TO, UH, TCEQ.

AND YOU WILL DUMP THIS INTO WHAT TRIBUTARY? UH, IT, IT, IT, IT IS, UH, THE, THE TREATED EFFLUENT IS, IS DISTRIBUTED, IS DISCHARGED INTO, UH, UH, WHAT'S THE NAME OF THE, THE CREEK? JONES CREEK.

JONES CREEK.

WHICH, UH, WHICH IS ON OUR PROPERTY.

WELL OF COURSE, ONE OF THE REASONS TOO, YOU DO THAT BECAUSE IF WE HAD, IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE YOUR PACKAGE PLANT, YOU'D HAVE TO HAVE ONE ACRE LOTS PLUS.

EXACTLY.

SO HAVE YOU VISITED WITH ANY OF THE NEIGHBORS IN THE OLA AREA? THIS IS WHERE IT'S GONNA BE IN OLA.

IT'S IN YOUR PRECINCT.

HAVE YOU VISITED WITH ANY OF THE NEIGHBORS CONCERNS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT? TRAFFIC REPORTS? WHO'S GONNA DO THE TRAFFIC REPORT? YEAH, SO WE, WE'VE DONE A, A TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS REPORT.

WHO DID THAT? UH, WE DID THAT LJ YEAH.

AND THAT WAS SUBMITTED FOR REVIEW.

SO THAT'S, THAT'S BEEN SEEN.

THEY SAID THEY SUBMITTED THAT.

ARE YOU A THIRD PARTY? UH, I'M THE ENGINEER.

SORRY FOR THE BRADLEY WITH LJ ENGINEERING.

YEAH, HE'S WITH, UH, HE THIRD PARTY ENGINEERING COMPANY.

I JUST FIND IT KINDA DISTURBING THAT IT'S LIKE THE FOX GARDEN HEN HOUSE THAT, AND WE HAVE OUR OWN ENGINEERS.

I PREFER WE USE OUR OWN TRAFFIC PEOPLE 'CAUSE WE WE PUT IT TOGETHER AND THEN SUBMIT IT TO Y'ALL'S ENGINEERS.

AND, AND PEOPLE VIEW, SO IT GOES THROUGH YOUR ENGINEER.

THAT'S, THAT'S THE RESTRICTED.

THEY JUST, SOMEBODY HAS TO PUT IT TOGETHER TO SUBMIT TO THE YEAH.

BUT I KNOW THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS DEFINITELY NOT IN FAVOR OF THIS BECAUSE OF IT'S DOESN'T MATCH ANYTHING THAT'S THERE PRIMARILY.

AND IF YOU VISIT WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT ABOUT THIS VISIT WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, HOW MANY STUDENTS YOU GONNA BE COMING TO KAUFFMAN SCHOOL DISTRICT? WELL, IT'S GONNA BE OVER A LONG TIME.

UM, BUT NO, WE HAVE NOT.

BUT YOU GOT 300 AND SOMETHING RIGHT OFF THE BAT, IS THAT RIGHT? NO, WE HAVE A HUNDRED NINETY FIVE OH ONE NINETY FIVE.

195.

THERE'LL BE 195 LOTS THAT WOULD BE PROBABLY DEVELOPED OVER THE NEXT THREE YEARS.

SO IT'S KIND OF, IT'S A, IT'S KIND OF A SLOW INTRODUCTION INTO THE SYSTEM.

IT'D BE ONE FAMILY PER RESIDENCE.

ONE FAMILY PER RESIDENT.

ANY QUESTIONS AHEAD? SORRY.

OF COURSE.

THE ONLY PROBLEM WITH ONE, ONE WITH DEEDED RESTRICTIONS IS IT'S A CIVIL LAWSUIT.

IT'S A CIVIL, THE NEIGHBOR, THE NEIGHBOR'S GOTTA FILE THE COMPLAINT AND HIRE THE LAWYER.

WELL, NOW DOES THE HOA THAT Y'ALL CONTROL WILL BE DEALING WITH THE DEEDED RESTRICTIONS? RIGHT.

SO YOU DO HAVE AN HOA THERE, THERE WON'T BE AN HOA, UH, BUT, UH, THE, THE,

[00:15:01]

UM, AS, AS, AS THE LENDER, UM, WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO, TO FORECLOSE ON PEOPLE THAT DON'T FOLLOW THE DEEDED RESTRICTIONS.

UH, AND WE ACTUALLY HAVE, UH, STAFF THAT DRIVES THE SUBDIVISIONS AND MONITORS THE SUBDIVISIONS FOR THAT PURPOSE.

SO HOA WOULD BE REQUIRED ACTUALLY, OUR SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS REQUIRE AN HOA YEAH.

REQUIRE WHAT? REQUIRES ONE INTERIOR AND STUFF.

WELL, WELL, OKAY.

SO THEY HAVE A LOT OF AUTHORITY THAT YOU DON'T HAVE.

A QUESTION, YOU KNOW, I, I'M BUYING A LOT FROM Y'ALL AND SAY OUTSIDE, I'M GONNA MOVE TO CALIFORNIA AND I'M GONNA RENT MY HOUSE.

CAN I I'M THE OWNER OF THE HOUSE, I'VE ALREADY PAID YOU OFF SO I CAN RENT IT OUT TO WHOEVER I WANT TO RENT IT TO.

SO THEN WE CAN, SO IF I WANT TO MAKE IT SECTION EIGHT, I CAN MAKE IT SECTION EIGHT.

THAT'S TRUE.

UM, I HAVE NOT CONSIDERED THAT.

WELL, YOU KNOW, 'CAUSE VOUCHER YOU FOLLOWS THE PERSON WHEREVER THAT PERSON GOES.

WELL, I MEAN, I MEAN, I'M JUST ASKING IF I'M AN OWNER AND I BUY THE PROPERTY.

AND I KNOW YOU'D SAID THAT THERE WON'T BE ANY RENTALS OR WHATEVER.

IT WON'T BE A RENTAL COMMUNITY OR WHATEVER.

YEAH, IT WON'T, THERE WON'T, IT WON'T BE LIKE MULTI-FAMILY RENTALS, YOU KNOW? I MEAN, I GUESS IT'S LIKE PROBABLY ANYBODY IN THIS ROOM IF YOU WANTED TO RENT YOUR HOUSE, I'M, I'M NOT SURE THAT THE GOVERNMENT CAN YEAH.

CAN LIMIT YOU IN THAT.

BUT YOU CAN LIMIT THE NUMBER OF HOUSES A PERSON CAN OWN IN THERE.

DO YOU HAVE A LIMIT ON THAT? THE NUMBER OF HOUSES A PERSON CAN OWN IN OWN IN THERE, IN A COMMUNITY? MM-HMM.

DO YOU HAVE A TIME LIMIT FOR 'EM TO LIVE IN THERE? NO.

WHETHER WORDS, LIKE SOME OF THE HOAS, LIKE IN PONY AREA NOW THEY'VE STEPPING IT UP TO WHERE THEY HAVE TO LIVE THERE FOR AT LEAST THREE YEARS AND THEN THEY CAN MOVE AND RENT IT.

BUT IF THEY LET LESS THAN THAT, THEN IT'S, THEN THEY HAVE AN ISSUE AND THEN THEY CAN'T OWN MORE THAN A CERTAIN NUMBER OF HOMES BECAUSE, YOU KNOW WHAT STOPS ME FROM BUYING 15 HOMES PAYING YOU OFF, THEN I'LL RENT 'EM TO SECTION EIGHT.

I DON'T HAVE, I DON'T YOU DON'T HAVE A SURE.

YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THAT.

I COULD TELL YOU WE, AND YOU KNOW, WE'VE DONE THESE COMMUNITIES, YOU KNOW, ALL OVER THE STATE AND THAT THAT'S NOT BEEN A PROBLEM THAT WE'VE HAD.

UM, AND THAT, YOU KNOW, IF THAT'S, UM, YOU KNOW, IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S HAPPENING AROUND HERE A WHOLE LOT, YOU KNOW, I'D LIKE TO LEARN, LEARN.

WELL, I MEAN, IT'S LIKE A, IT IS LIKE A BABY MUD DISTRICT EXCEPT THAT YOU'RE, YOU'VE GOT THE, THE ABILITY TO PUT ALL THESE WILL BE, IT COULD BE MOBILE HOMES.

THE WHOLE, YOU KNOW, WHICH I'M NOT SAYING ANYTHING'S WRONG WITH THOSE.

BECAUSE YOU DRIVE AROUND THE, THE TOW ROAD OR SOMETHING AROUND AUSTIN OR SOMETHING.

THEY HAVE A WHOLE BUNCH OF 'EM NOW.

YOU KNOW, AND THAT'S WHAT THAT LOOKS JUST LIKE HIS TRACKS.

AND IT'S ALL FULL OF MOBILE HOMES THAT THEY MOVED DOWN.

WE, WE REQUIRE OURS TO BE, THEY HAVE TO BE SKIRTED.

UH, AND WE START AFTER 30 DAYS OF MOVING IN, WE START MONITORING THE SKIRTING.

UH, IF THEY DON'T SKIRT IT WITHIN 30 DAYS, THEY GET A DEMAND LETTER AND THEN THEY GET ANOTHER DEMAND LETTER, AND THEN THEY START GETTING FINED A COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLARS A MONTH.

AND AFTER THEY GET THAT FINE A COUPLE TIMES, THEN THEY GET THE SKIRTING UP.

TYPICALLY THEY HAVE RESTRICTIONS AROUND, UM, THEY CAN'T HAVE FARM ANIMALS OUT HERE.

UM, IF THEY'RE GONNA HAVE A FENCE, THEY CAN'T, IT'S GOTTA BE OUTTA NEW MATERIALS.

THEY CAN'T GO THROW UP A, AN OLD JUNKIE FENCE TO MONITOR ALL THAT STUFF.

SINCE WE'RE THE LENDER ON THESE COMMUNITIES, WE'RE INVOLVED WITH 'EM FOR 20 YEARS.

AND SO IF SOMEONE, YOU KNOW, DOESN'T MAKE A PAYMENT AND WE GET THE LOT BACK, WE'VE GOTTA BE ABLE TO SELL IT AND IT'S GOTTA HAVE ITS VALUE.

AND SO WE'VE GOT, WE'VE GOT AN INTEREST IN KEEPING THE COMMUNITY LOOKING NICE.

AND WE WORK HARD TO DO THAT.

YOU CAN, YOU CAN LOOK AT, AT OUR COMMUNITIES, YOU CAN IN, UH, SOME OF OUR ONES IN AUSTIN.

WE'VE GOT PROBABLY EIGHT OR 10 COMMUNITIES AROUND AUSTIN.

UM, AND, UH, AND THEY ALL LOOK PRETTY NICE.

DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING, I MEAN, CLOSE TO THE METROPLEX HERE INSTEAD OF AN AUSTIN? WHAT DO YOU HAVE AROUND HERE THAT'S, WELL, THIS WOULD BE OUR, OUR FIRST METROPLEX COMMUNITY.

YOU HAVE SOME ON THE, ON THE TOW ROAD AROUND AUSTIN? UH, WE DO.

WE HAVE SOME, UM, IF YOU GO ON, UM, ON HIGHWAY 21 THAT RUNS FROM SAN MARCUS TO BASTROP.

YOU HAVE THAT COMMUNITY RIGHT THERE THAT BIG ON THE SIDE OF THAT HILL.

NO, NO, NO.

I KNOW THE ONE.

YOU KNOW, THAT ONE LOOKS PRETTY NEAT.

I MEAN THEY, THEY GOT SO MANY DIFFERENT COLOR.

IT IS LIKE SOMEBODY ACTUALLY PLACED ALL THOSE MOBILE HOMES.

I DON'T THINK THEY ALL LOOK THE SAME.

IT'S LIKE ONE, LIKE MAYBE THEY, THEY RENT 'EM OUT OR SOMETHING.

THE OURS ARE, IF WHERE THAT COMMUNITY IS, IF YOU GO BACK ABOUT FIVE MILES BEHIND THAT, ALONG THAT HIGHWAY IS WHERE OUR COMMUNITIES ARE.

, WOULD YOU, UH, GIVE US A COUPLE OF YOUR, UH, PLACES AROUND AUSTIN WE CAN GO VISIT ABSOLUTELY.

SEE THEM? ABSOLUTELY.

ABSOLUTELY.

LOVE TO.

WE'VE GOT A SALES OFFICE THERE AS WELL.

UH, YOU COULD, YOU COULD STOP IN AND TALK TO SOME OF OUR SALES REPS AND THEY COULD ANSWER QUESTIONS.

WELL, I'D JUST LIKE TO DRIVE AROUND AND SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING.

AND WHAT'S YOUR AUTHORITY FOR FINDING PEOPLE AND RECEIVING THE MONEY? I MEAN, YOU JUST LIKE, LIKE WHY, WHY CAN WE LEGALLY DO THAT?

[00:20:01]

SO AS THE DECLARANT ON THE DEEDED RESTRICTIONS.

THAT GIVES US THE RIGHT, THE, THE, THE INITIAL RIGHT.

TO FINE.

UH, AND THEN, AND THEN, UH, WE GO ONE FURTHER, ONE STEP FURTHER.

IF WE HAPPEN TO STILL BE THE LENDER, SOMETIMES WE GET PAID OFF AND WE'RE NO LONGER THE LENDER.

BUT IF WE'RE STILL A LENDER, WHICH WE TYPICALLY ARE, UM, THEN WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO FORECLOSE ON A LOT FOR LACK OF ADHERENCE TO THE DEEDED RESTRICTIONS.

I KNOW THE RESIDENTS HAVE ASKED FOR PUBLIC HEARING AND THROUGH TCEQ.

SO MR. WE'LL LET YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT.

WE'RE, WE'RE, WE'RE, WE'RE AWARE OF THAT.

AND ARE, HOW MANY GALLONS OF WATER ARE Y'ALL GONNA DO YOU PREDICT THAT THIS IT IS GONNA BE, I MEAN, UH, WASTEWATER.

AND SO WHAT'S THE SIZE OF IT? IS IT 300? WHAT IS THE SIZE OF THE PLANT? DO YOU REMEMBER? UH, ABOUT 300.

I THINK WHEN IT'S FINALIZED AND FINISHED OUT, IT'D PROBABLY BE ONE IN GT OR RIGHT THERE AROUND.

SO, YOU KNOW, LIKE, SO FOR THE FIRST PHASE MM-HMM.

, UM, IT'S UH, IT'S A 40,000 GALLON PLANT.

AND THEN AT TOTAL BUILD OUT, UM, I THOUGHT IT SCALED UP TO, TO, I THOUGHT IT WAS 300,000, BUT MAYBE IT'S BIGGER THAN THAT.

IT'S 300,000 A DAY.

AND THE TECQ PROVED IT GOING INTO THIS, INTO THE CREEK.

THAT MUCH WATER EVERY DAY.

THAT'S RIGHT.

WELL THIS IS JUST A PRELIMINARY PLAT.

THAT'S ALL IT IS.

THEN WE WILL BE VISITING SOME MORE, I'M SURE THAT'S RIGHT.

E EACH, EACH PHASE WE'LL HAVE A, YOU KNOW, A A FINAL RECORDED PLAT.

BEFORE WE'RE ABLE TO ACTUALLY SELL ANY LOTS.

I'VE LOOKED AT QUITE A FEW OF THESE, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE ON THAT, ON THAT TOW ROAD, QUITE A FEW OF 'EM POPPED UP NOW JUST LIKE THIS.

, YOU KNOW, WELL, WE'LL SEE HOW, I DON'T KNOW HOW.

IT'S WORKING.

BUT, SO I NEED A MOTION TO PROVE PRELIMINARY PLAN.

I GUESS THEY'VE, THEY'VE MET EVERYTHING THAT THE COUNTY REQUIRES AT THIS POINT.

AT THIS POINT THEY'VE DONE EVERYTHING THEY CAN.

MY HOPE TO Y'ALL, IS IT, IT SOUNDS LIKE, I MEAN WITH TCEQ INVOLVED, WE, OUR HANDS ARE TIED WITH A LOT OF STUFF.

SO MY HOPE IS THAT YOU REACH OUT TO THE COMMUNITY AND THAT YOU TRY TO DO WHAT'S RIGHT OR WHAT.

'CAUSE WE, AND I'VE EXPLAINED TO YOU, WE'VE HAD PROBLEMS. YES.

AND THOSE PROBLEMS ARE CLEAR, YOU KNOW, IN EVERYBODY'S MINDS UP HERE, WHAT WE'RE DEALING WITH, WITH MUDS AND SUDS.

SO I HOPE YOU CAN DO SOMETHING TO CHANGE THE DIRECTION THAT THOSE HAVE TAKEN IN THE LAST 10, 15 YEARS.

I, I APPRECIATE THAT INPUT.

LEMME JUST KIND OF SAY AS I, AS I'D MENTIONED TO YOU YESTERDAY OR SUNDAY WHEN WE TALKED, AND I JUST WANNA MENTION TO THE OTHER COMMISSIONERS, UM, YOU KNOW, IN ALL THE COMMUNITIES WHERE WE BUILD, I HAVE RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS 'CAUSE WE'RE THERE FOR A LONG TIME.

WE DON'T GO IN AND SELL AND THEN WE'RE OUT.

AND SO PROBLEMS ARISE AND THEN THEY NEED MY HELP TO FIX STUFF.

SOMEBODY DUMPS SOMETHING AND THEN IT NEEDS TO BE CLEANED UP OR UH, SOME KIND OF SIGNAGE NEEDS TO BE PUT UP SOMEWHERE.

AND SO, UH, YOU GUYS WILL HAVE MY CELL PHONE, UH, CALL ME.

WE'VE GOT STAFF THAT THEIR WHOLE PURPOSE IS TO KIND OF KEEP THINGS RUNNING SMOOTHLY AND KEEP OUR COMMUNITIES LOOKING NICE.

AND SO, UH, YOU KNOW, CALL ME IF YOU'RE EVER HAVING A PROBLEM.

AND, AND, UH, AND WE'LL DEFINITELY, UH, ENGAGE WITH THE COMMUNITY.

'CAUSE I MEAN WE HAVE FIRE SERVICE, WE HAVE SOME EMERGENCY SERVICES YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH, YOU KNOW, AND OF COURSE THE SCHOOLS, LIKE THEY'VE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT AND YOU KNOW, I'D JUST LIKE TO SEE YOU REACHING OUT AND TRYING TO HELP THEM DO WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.

AND I KNOW WE TALKED WHEN YOU CAME BEFORE ABOUT PARK AREA DONATING ANY LAND FOR MAYBE A VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT OUT THERE, THERE BECAUSE TIME MAY GET FROM HERE TO THERE.

IT'S, WE SAVED A LOT.

SURE, SURE.

WE CAN DISCUSS THAT.

HOW MANY, HOW MANY TOTAL IS IT GONNA BE WHEN THERE'S TOTAL BUILD OUT? TOTAL BUILD OUT IN INTO 10 YEARS WOULD BE AROUND 1800 LOTS.

1800 LOTS.

SO TYPICALLY IN THAT, THE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE SCHOOL, I REMEMBER IT'S, IT'S CLOSE TO THREE.

I MEAN, YOU KNOW.

WELL, OKAY.

SO CAN I HAVE JUST ONE QUESTION.

I'M BE TALKING ABOUT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL NOW, GOING THROUGH THE TCQ, I'M ASSUMING TCQ GOT INVOLVED IN THIS 'CAUSE YOU'RE GONNA WASTEWATER PLANT, CORRECT? THAT'S RIGHT.

BUT IF YOU WOULDN'T HAVE DONE A WASTEWATER PLANT, YOU'D BE UNDER THE TRADITIONAL RULES OF THE COUNTY.

CUSTOMERS, ESPECIALLY WITH AEROBIC SYSTEMS, WHICH YOU HAVE OFTEN HAVE TO DO.

WITH SEPTIC RULES AND LOT SIZES AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

SO THAT'S RIGHT.

IT'S A LOOPHOLE IN THE SYSTEM TO GO AROUND THE COUNTY POLICIES.

WOULD YOU SAY, OR WOULD YOU, I MEAN, WHAT WAS THE BENEFIT OF YOU GOING THROUGH TCQ WITH A WASTEWATER PLANT INSTEAD OF JUST DOING THE TRADITIONAL RULES THAT WE HAVE IN PLACE? WELL THEN IT SHRINKS A LOT.

GOING, GOING THROUGH THE TCQ, UH, ALLOWED US TO BUILD A WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT.

UM, WHICH ALLOWED US TO NOT HAVE CUSTOMERS HAVING SEPTIC SYSTEM ON, ON EACH INDIVIDUAL LOT, WHICH WE HAVE RUN INTO SOME ISSUES.

UM, YOU KNOW, WITH

[00:25:01]

AND YOU HAVE THE, THE BLACK SOIL, BUT PEOPLE NOT MAINTAINING 'EM AND SO THEY FALL INTO DISREPAIR AND THEN YOU HAVE AN ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEM.

SO THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS WE DON'T LIKE.

ALSO BIGGER LOTS ARE, ARE, ARE ARE EXPENSIVE.

AND UH, YOU KNOW, WE TRY TO HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE AFFORDABLE PRODUCT.

NOW I, NOW, WHEN I SAY AFFORDABLE, IT'S, IT'S NOT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE ESTIMATING OUR LOTS TO COST AROUND 99,000.

89.

99,000.

SO THEY'RE NOT, THEY'RE NOT, THEY'RE NOT CHEAP.

YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE, YOU HAVE TO BE WORKING TO BE ABLE TO GET ONE.

UM, BUT YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE ONE ACRE LOTS NOW AROUND, YOU KNOW, YOU PAY A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS AND THAT, YOU GET THAT AND YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE A SEPTIC SYSTEM.

YOU DON'T HAVE, YOU HAVEN'T PAID FOR YOUR WATER.

AND SO IT JUST MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT FOR PEOPLE TO BUY ONE.

HOW MANY LOTS FIT ON ONE ACRE WHEN YOU MAKE 'EM? HOW MANY WHAT? HOW MANY LOTS FIT ON ONE ACRE? WELL, ON ON, ON YOURS? YEAH, ON THAT.

OH, I THINK IT'S UH, I THINK IT'S 2.1 OR 2.2.

2.2 MM-HMM.

BECAUSE YOU HAVE DRAINAGE AND STUFF AND ROADS THAT TAKE UP SPACE TOO.

AND FIRE MARSHAL WAS OKAY WITH THE STREET SIZE AND THE TURNAROUNDS.

I NOTICED DON TURNAROUND PRELIMINARY PLANS AS OF NOW.

BUT AGAIN, WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH AN OFFICIAL CIVIL PLANNING INSTRUC.

THEY MIGHT NOT BE HAPPY YET, BUT WE'LL KNOW THAT WHEN WE GET TO THAT POINT.

BECAUSE WE HAVE TO GET THIS BEFORE WE CAN GO TO THAT NEXT SECTION.

MR. SEBASTIAN, IT'S GOING TO DISCUSS, CONSIDER PURCHASING A KUBOTA SKID STEER FOR PRECINCT TWO UTILIZING BUYBOARD CONTRACT 7 0 6 DASH 23.

SO YOU ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

I'LL MAKE THE MOTION.

MAYOR MAKES MOTION.

DO I HAVE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND.

MR. PHILLIPS, MAKE A SECOND.

ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.

THANKS, MR. YES, SIR, YOUR HONOR.

YES SIR.

[6. Jack Sebastian: Discuss/Consider purchasing a Kubota Skid Steer for PCT.2 Road and Bridge utilizing BuyBoard contract #706-23.]

GOOD MORNING.

GOOD MORNING GENTLEMEN.

UH, THIS IS ON BUYBOARD CONTRACT 7 0 6 DASH 23 AND IT MEETS ALL THE PROCUREMENT REQUIREMENTS.

UH, THE PO WILL ACTUALLY BE MADE OUT TO, UH, KUBOTA TRACTOR CORPORATION AND DEAN WILL BE THE, THE DEALER THAT DELIVERS THAT.

AND THE TOTAL PRICE IS 72,000 7, 66 POINT 22.

AND I'LL MAKE THAT RECOMMENDATION.

JACK MAKES RECOMMENDATION.

DO WE HAVE A MOTION ON THAT? I'LL MAKE A MOTION.

YOU MIGHT.

MR. PHILLIPS MAKES THE MOTION TO HAVE A SECOND.

MR. POLLSTER, YOU'RE UP FOR THE NEXT TWO, THREE, DO NUMBER SEVEN.

MR. BARB MAKES SECOND.

ALL IN FAVOR? AND SAY AYE.

[7. John Polster: Discuss/Consider the approval of the Supplemental Agreement #2 for the FM 1641 Project between Kaufman County and LTRA in the amount of $200,000.00.]

FIRST DISCUSS, CONSIDER APPROVAL OF THE SUPPLEMENT AGREEMENT NUMBER TWO FOR FARM ROAD 1641 PROJECT BETWEEN KAUFMAN COUNTY AND LTRA IN AMOUNT OF 200,000.

YES, SIR.

OKEY DOKIE.

UH, THIS IS FOR THE, UH, LTRA CONTRACT AND IT IS RELATED TO, UH, ADDITIONAL CHANGES TO GEOTECH REQUIRED FOR SOME OF THE SUBGRADE WORK THAT WE CAME ACROSS THAT NEEDED TO BE FURTHER ANALYZED.

UH, THEY CHANGED THEIR POLICY ON NOISE WALLS JUST RECENTLY.

IT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE, UM, LENIENT.

SO THEY HAVE RAISED THE DOLLAR AMOUNT FOR THE, UH, EXPENDITURE FOR A BENEFIT RECEPTOR AND REDUCED THE REQUIREMENT.

SO WE HAD TO GO BACK AND RE REDO SOME OF THE NOISE ANALYSIS TO S ON THAT NEW POLICY.

'CAUSE THE PROJECT HASN'T GONE FAR ENOUGH ALONG INTO THE DESIGN.

SO WE GOT CAUGHT WITH THAT.

AND THEN, UH, WE HAD A COUPLE OF THINGS WE HAD TO DO RELATED TO RIGHT AWAY CHANGES BASED ON THAT SOUND WALL.

AND IT'S COMING FROM THE, UH, THE PROJECT FUNDS ARE COMING FROM THE STRATEGIC PROJECT FUNDS THAT WE USE WHENEVER WE HAVE A COST OVERRUN ON ANY OF THE INDIVIDUAL PROJECTS.

ANY QUESTIONS? AND THE, THE SOUND, THE SOUND BARRIER WALLS.

WHERE THEY AT? WE DON'T KNOW YET.

WE DON'T EVEN KNOW IF THEY WARRANT.

WE HAVE TO GO BACK AND, UH, CHECK.

BUT IT'LL BE, YOU KNOW, WHERE WE MOVE THE ROAD, IT MIGHT NOT BE THERE.

YEAH, WE HAVE TO PAY MORE TO FIND OUT.

WE HAD TO PAY TO FIND OUT, YOU KNOW, WHERE WE MOVED THE ROAD? WELL, I HAD IT IN THERE TO BUILD THEM.

I MEAN TO MAKE, NOW WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO PAY MORE TO SEE IF WE CAN DO WHAT THEY DO WITHOUT 'EM.

WE ADJUSTED THE ROAD.

NO.

YES, THE RESIDENTIAL HOUSES, BUT THE ROAD'S STILL ADJACENT TO THAT DEVELOPMENT, SO WE HAVE TO GO BACK AND APPLY THE NEW STANDARD.

MR. POLLSTER, AGAIN, DISCUSS, CONSIDER APPROVAL OF CONSTRUCTION AWARD AND FUNDING OF SOUTH HIGHWAY 34 1 75 PROJECT IN THE AMOUNT OF $3,450,477.

SO I WANNA START OUT BY SAYING THAT, UH, MR.

[00:30:01]

SEBASTIAN DID ALL THE HEAVY LIFTING ON THIS.

UH, HE JUST ASKED ME TO PAY FOR IT.

SO , UH, THE PROJECT CAME IN A LITTLE BIT OVER OUR ENGINEERING ESTIMATE, BUT IT WAS UNDER OUR, UH, BUDGETED AMOUNT THAT WE HAD ALLOCATED TO THIS PROJECT.

UH, PAVED CON WAS A LOW BIDDER AND WE HAVE ALL THE PAPERWORK IN ORDER AND WE'RE READY TO, UM, TO AWARD, AWARD THE PROJECT TO A LOW BIDDER.

WHEN THIS IS AWARDED, WHAT'S THE TIMEFRAME FOR STARTING DATE? UH, THEY'LL PROBABLY TAKE, UH, 30 DAYS OR SO TO MOBILIZE TYPICALLY.

AND THEN, UH, I'LL LIKE TO CHECK ON THE CONTRACT AND GET THAT TEED DOWN.

HOW MUCH WE WE BID ON THAT? I KEEP GETTING ASKED QUESTIONS.

WHEN THEY GONNA START? WHEN THEY'RE GONNA START.

SO, SO THEY GOT ABOUT 30 DAYS TO MOBILIZE AND THEN, UM, THEY HAVE A CONTRACTUAL NUMBER OF DAYS THEY BID.

SO WE'LL GET YOU THAT TO GET THAT TO YOU, OKAY? ALRIGHT.

APPRECIATE IT.

WHO MONITOR, WHO MONITORS THE PROGRESS TO MAKE SURE THAT AL AL PERKINS IS? WE HIRED THEM AS PART OF THE, THAT UH, SUPPLEMENTAL.

THAT WE HAD WITH, UM, THEIR, THEIR CONTRACT PREVIOUSLY WHEN WE ADDED THE ADDITIONAL ENGINEERING FOR THIS, IT INCLUDES CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT IN THAT, THAT ORIGINAL ESTIMATE.

SO, UH, MATT ATKINS AND, UH, TAYLOR, THEY USED TO BE SUTTON.

I THINK SHE GOT MARRIED.

I DON'T REMEMBER HER LAST NAME.

CALDWELL MAYBE.

HOPEFULLY SHE'S NOT HERE BEHIND ME.

, LET'S SEE HER GO GET ALL THE BOND IN.

CONTRACT THEY GOT, SIGN THE CONTRACT AND TURN IN THE DOCUMENTS.

THAT'S PART OF MOBILIZATION.

SO WE KNOW IT'S AN ISSUE BECAUSE Y'ALL ARE ALREADY RUNNING THAT FACILITY.

SO YES.

WE'LL STAY ON THEM.

ALRIGHT, HAVE A MOTION.

MR. HUNT MAKES A MOTION.

HAVE A SECOND.

MR. HILL MAKES A SECOND.

MR. JACK, IF YOU COME DO THAT ONE INSTEAD OF MYSELF, UH, DISCUSS, CONSIDER AWARDING THE ABATEMENT CONTRACT FOR THE OLD COURTHOUSE.

GENTLEMEN, THIS WAS KIND OF FAST TRACK.

UH, ON THE, ON THE ABATEMENT THING, WE ACTUALLY ISSUED A PO THE OTHER DAY JUST FOR THE MONITORING WHERE THEY HAD TO DO AIR MONITORING AND, AND, UH, UH, THAT'S BEEN DONE.

AND NOW WE'VE GOT, UH, THREE QUOTES, HAVE A QUOTE FROM OUR ABATEMENT.

THEY'RE AT 1 140 1,210 AND ONE PRIORITY BID, 1 35, 500 AND LOW LOW, UH, BID WAS, UH, ONE REEF, LLC, TOTAL AMOUNT $95,777.

UH, ALL THESE WERE, WERE, UH, QUOTES OFF COOPERATIVES.

WE, WE DID OUR DUE DILIGENCE AND, AND CONTACTED THREE VENDORS.

MAINTENANCE, DID A LOT OF LEGWORK ON THIS, GETTING THOSE GUY MEET THOSE FOLKS AND GETTING 'EM OUT THERE.

BUT THEY WERE ALL, ALL COOPERATIVE.

SO WE, WE MET ALL REQUIREMENTS.

RIGHT? AND I THINK DIDN'T THE LITTLE BID DO THIS BUILDING JUDGE? I THINK CASEY TOLD ME THAT.

YEAH, THEY SAID THEY REMEMBERED ME, BUT I, I DON'T REMEMBER THESE FOLKS.

YEAH, I CAN'T POSSIBILITY, I CAN'T REMEMBER WHO DID THAT.

SO ANYWAY, IN THE, I KNOW I REMEMBER HIM IN AND OUT AND THEY, BUT I, IN THE, IN THE DISCUSSION THAT CASEY HAD WITH THEM, THEY WERE TO START THE SECOND OR 3RD OF JANUARY IF WE APPROVE THIS TODAY.

SO IT WOULD'VE TAKEN 'EM 30, 45 DAYS PROBABLY TO GET IT COMPLETELY DONE.

DID THEY MISS THE SECOND FLOOR ON THE BID OR SO? NO, IT'S ALL THERE.

ANY DISCUSSION.

BUT THEY DID CHECK THE VENDORS THAT THEY ARE YES.

GOOD CONTRACTORS? YES.

AND, AND OF COURSE YOU Y KNOW THAT, UH, WE'LL HAVE TO HAVE ALL KIND OF DOCUMENTATION ONCE THEY HAUL THIS MATERIAL OFF.

WE NEED TO MAKE SURE IT'S CARRIED TO A CERTIFIED THAT'S THE RIGHT PLACE.

SO WE'LL APPRO.

RIGHT? OKAY.
