[1. ROUTINE CORRESPONDENCE.]

I DO HAVE ONE THING WE MET LAST WEEK, WEEK BEFORE LAST IN AUSTIN WITH THE HISTORICAL COMMISSION ABOUT FUNDING FOR OUR OWN COURTHOUSE.

AND WE WERE DENIED ANY MONEY.

SO WE WILL MOVE FORWARD WITH WHAT WE CAN DO WITH WHAT MONIES WE HAVE, AND WE'LL START THAT PROCESS IN ABOUT TWO WEEKS.

WE'LL HAVE THE ARCHITECT HERE AND, AND THE, UH, CONSTRUCTION PEOPLE.

SO JUST WANT TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON WHAT'S, WHAT'S HAPPENING.

ALRIGHT, MOVE ON.

NUMBER TWO, THE CONSENT AGENDA.

JUDGE, CAN I MAKE ANNOUNCEMENT? OH YEAH.

UH, MAKE SURE I'M ON THE RIGHT SCHEDULE.

I BELIEVE AUGUST THE THIRD IS GONNA BE THE COUNTYWIDE CLEANUP.

AGAIN, IT'S GONNA BE AT THE CAMP, UH, ECO STATION.

SO JUST A REMINDER FOR EVERYONE THAT, UH, YOU CAN, IT'LL BE OPEN FROM EIGHT TO FOUR SO THAT THEY CAN BRING ANY, UH, ITEMS THAT THEY WANT TO THROW AWAY.

WE DO SAY THAT ANY ELECTRONICS, THERE'S A, A FEE FOR THOSE.

UH, YOU'LL JUST HAVE TO GET WITH THEM WHEN YOU GET THERE.

AND UH, THIS ONE WILL ALLOW YOU TO BRING CERTAIN, UH, LIKE, UH, TIRES, BUT IT'S NOT THE ONE.

SO IT'S ONLY LIKE VEHICLE TIRES.

THEY'RE NOT DOING THE TRACTOR STUFF.

SO ANYWAY, JUST A REMINDER FOR THAT.

SO IF ANYBODY WANTS TO DO THE COUNTY CLEANUP, SO WELL, YOU TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT WHILE IT'S THERE.

LAST NIGHT HAD THE T DOT FOR FOUR 60 AND SEVEN 40, ALL THE PLANS AT THE OC, NOTHING.

SO I ATTENDED THAT OF COURSE.

AND, AND THAT'S WHAT THE BOND MONEY WAS PAYING FOR SOME OF THE ENGINEER ENGINEERING ON THIS.

GOOD.

AND THEY TOOK ALL THE RIGHT SUGGESTIONS, MADE IT CURVE, AND REALLY NICE LAYOUT.

IT'LL WORK OUT.

I'M JUST HOPING IT'LL MOVE A LOT FASTER THAN INSTEAD A 2029.

I'M, IT'S YOU'RE HOPING IT'S READY? IT'S READY.

AND UH, MAYBE, UH, MAYBE THINGS WILL HAPPEN.

ANYTHING ELSE? LIKE NOTHING? NO.

TWO ITEMS ON THE CONSENT AGENDA.

ALRIGHT.

YOU HAVE SEEN THE, UH,

[2. CONSENT AGENDA]

DO WE HAVE ANY, UH, DISCUSSION ON THE, UH, COURT MINUTES MEETINGS? OUR DEVELOPMENT SERVICES THIRD QUARTER REPORT THAT WE DID LAST WEEK? NOPE.

IF NOT, I CAN TRAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE.

I'LL MAKE A MOTION FOR THAT.

MR. PHELPS MAKES THE MOTION TO HAVE A SECOND.

MR. HUNT MAKES SECOND.

WE'RE GOING TO DISCUSS IT'S CONSIDER AN APPROVED APPLICATION FOR THE STATE REPAIRS AND UPGRADES FOR THE SOIL CONSERVATION SERVICE.

MOTION CARRIE.

THANK YOU MR. OWEN.

GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

[3. Owen Cantrell: Discuss/Consider/Approve application for the Soil Conversative for a Federal Rehab on the Upper East Fork Lateral 10 (Valley View) and Cedar Creek 60 (Kaufman City Lake).]

THERE'S LITTLE MISPRINT ON THE, THERE'S A LITTLE MISCOMMUNICATION THERE.

WE GOT IT FIXED.

UH, WHAT I HAVE HERE, OR TWO APPLICATIONS, ONE OF THEM IS FOR A, UH, STATE UPGRADE, WHICH IS BASICALLY THE SAME THING AS A FEDERAL REHABILITATION, ONLY.

IT'S ALL STATE MONEY.

AND THESE ARE 100% FUNDED BY THE STATE.

THE ONLY THING THAT WOULD BE ASKED OF THE COUNTY IS TO DO THE CON BE THE CONTRACTING OFFICER ON, ON THESE SITES IF THEY GET APPROVED FOR APPLICATIONS.

UH, ONE OF THEM IS THE UPGRADE IS FOR UPPER EAST PARK LATERAL 10.

WE HAVE ALREADY SENT IN A FEDERAL REHAB APPLICATION ON THAT SITE.

THAT'S ONE ON VALLEY VIEW.

AND WE'RE ALSO GOING TO SEND IN FOR THE STATE UPGRADE, WHICH BASICALLY IS, LIKE I SAY, IT'S THE SAME THING.

[00:05:01]

SAME THING.

ONLY IT'S STATE MONEY AND IF IT GETS APPROVED, IT WILL HAPPEN A LOT QUICKER.

QUICKER THROUGH THE STATE, THEN THROUGH THE FED RIGHT END OF IT.

GOOD.

AND ON THE OTHER ONE IS, UH, STATE REPAIRS.

THESE ARE JUST STRICTLY, UH, SPECIFIC ITEMS ON A DAM THAT NEED TO BE REPAIRED.

AND THIS AGAIN, IS ALL STATE MONEY.

UH, 100% FUNDED BY THE STATE.

UH, I HAVE SEVERAL, QUITE A FEW SITES ON IT.

IF Y'ALL WANT ME TO, I'LL GO OVER 'EM.

THAT'S OKAY.

IF YOU DON'T, IF YOU KNOW WHERE THEY ARE, WE JUST YES.

FIXED.

AND UH, LIKE I SAY, THE ONLY THING WE NEED IS, UH, Y'ALL'S APPROVAL ON THIS.

AND LIKE I SAY, THERE'S NOTHING, NO OBLIGATION AT ALL INVOLVED WITH THESE OTHER THAN IF THEY DO GET APPROVED, THEN THE COUNTY WOULD BE THE, UH, CONTRACTING OFFICER.

IT LOOKS LIKE A PROJECTED PRICE OF $5 MILLION.

A LOT OF MONEY.

AND WE'LL BE TOTALLY HAPPY TO BE A CONTRACTOR.

WE GET WE'LL BE TOTALLY HAPPY BE BEING A CONTRACTOR.

IF WE CAN GET THAT 10 LORD OR OR THE 10 SOMETHING.

THEY'RE NOT, UH, THE LOWERING PART OF IT IS PROBABLY NOT GONNA HAPPEN IF WE CAN, BUT WE CAN, IF WE CAN GET A LARGER PIPE THROUGH THE DAM, THAT WILL ELIMINATE PROBABLY 99% OF THE, OF THE FLOODING.

YEP.

THAT, THAT HAS HAPPENED.

BUT UH, THERE'S NO GUARANTEE THAT IT WON'T EVER GET UNDERWATER AGAIN.

SURE.

WELL WE NEVER KNOW WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN.

WELL IF YOU HAD TWO PIPES, .

ALRIGHT, I NEED A MOTION.

MOTION.

I'LL MAKE THE MOTION FOR THEM.

MS. FIELDS MAKES THE MOTION.

DO YOU HAVE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND.

MR. MOORE MAKES A SECOND.

MS. IRMA, YOU'RE UP NEXT TO DISCUSS.

[4. Irma Castillo: Discuss/Consider/Approve Termination of the agreement before or on 9/30/2024, with the Blue, Orange Range solutions provided by AFLAC for the benefit Enrollment Platform Navigator that was approved on or about 7-24-2023.]

CONSIDER APPROVED DETERMINATION OF THE AGREEMENT BEFORE OUR OH 9 30 24 WITH BLUE ORANGE RANGE SOLUTIONS PROVIDED BY AFLAC FOR THE BENEFIT ENROLLMENT PLATFORM NAVIGATOR THAT WAS APPROVED, UH, ON OR ABOUT 7 24 OF LAST YEAR.

GOOD MORNING.

GOOD MORNING EVERYBODY.

UH, YES.

WE ARE REQUESTING APPROVAL TO TERMINATE THE AGREEMENT FOR BLUE ORANGE BRANCH SOLUTION PROVIDED BY ALAC BENEFITS AND THE PLATFORM NAVIGATOR.

THE PLATFORM DID NOT WORK AS IT WAS INTENDED AND PROMISED WE IT CAUSED A LOT OF ISSUES TO HUMAN RESOURCES AS FAR AS THE FILE FEED.

THERE'S A LOT OF EMPLOYEES THAT DID NOT RECEIVE THEIR BENEFITS AND WE'RE CURRENTLY FACING THAT.

UM, ALSO THERE WAS, THE FILE FEE WAS NEVER PROVIDED FOR THE VISION PLAN, WHICH WE HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING MANUALLY.

SO IT WAS A BIG ISSUE AND A BIG PROBLEM THAT WE STILL FACING TODAY.

SO I'M LOOKING TO YOUR APPROVAL TO TERMINATE THAT AGREEMENT.

I KNOW QUESTIONS.

I HAVE GOTTEN SEVERAL PHONE CALLS.

I KNOW YOU HAVE CALLED ME ABOUT SEVERAL MM-HMM.

ISSUES THAT THEY DIDN'T FOLLOW THROUGH THE PLATFORM DID NOT WORK AS IT WAS EXPLAINED TO US.

THAT DIDN'T WORK.

SOME EMPLOYEES DIDN'T GET THE BENEFITS THEY SIGNED UP FOR.

UH, AND IF SOMETHING HAD HAPPENED THEN WE WOULD PROBABLY HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF THAT OURSELVES.

I DON'T KNOW THAT FOR A FACT, BUT WELL, A LOT OF 'EM LOST.

LOST THEIR WELL THEY DID.

MM-HMM.

SO THEY GOT CANCELED.

ANYWAY, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FIRM ON THIS? I THINK IT'S SOMETHING, I THINK WE'VE ALL HEARD IT FROM OUR PEOPLE.

THE PROBLEMS THAT WE'VE HAD.

YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS? THEY FOUND OUT MIDYEAR A LOT OF IT, IT LIKE MID YEAR, WHENEVER THEY FOUND OUT.

AND THIS IS JUST OVER THE, SO EVERYBODY UNDERSTAND OUT THERE CLEAR.

THIS IS JUST OVER THE PLATFORM AND OPERATION OF THE WAY IT GOES.

ALAC WILL STILL BE IN SERVICE FOR EVERYBODY THAT SIGNED UP FOR AFLAC.

WE'RE NOT CANCELING NOW, BUT I JUST WANTED EVERYBODY TO UNDERSTAND THAT AND IT DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THEIR PROGRAM.

I DO HAVE ONE OF THE EMPLOYEES THAT GOT BIT THE OTHER DAY BY A COPPERHEAD AND YOU KNOW, WAS OFF WORK AND ALL THAT AND HE WAS TALKING ABOUT IT.

I SAID, DID YOU CALL AFLAC? WELL, NO.

HOW DO YOU DO THAT? YES.

I SAID, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO, I SAID YOU WENT TO THE HOSPITAL, YOU DID ALL THIS AND YOU'RE OFF WORK AND YOU SHOULDN'T BE RECEIVING SOME BENEFIT.

YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO DO IT.

I AGREE.

AND IT'S VERY POOR PERFORMANCE.

IT'S IT'S JUST VERY, YEAH.

SO I MEAN WELL WE GOING TO FIX THAT.

THIS NEXT GO.

I SAID WELL YOU NEED TO GET A HOLD OF BECAUSE RIGHT NOW THEY OWE YOU.

SO GOOD DEAL.

SO I NEED A MOTION TO APPROVE THIS.

I'LL MAKE THE MOTION.

MR. MOORE MAKES THE MOTION TO HAVE A SECOND.

MR. TOM MAKES SECOND.

DISCUSS COULD APPROVAL OF REINTRODUCING AND REBUILDING CYLIN ADMINISTRATION PLATFORM OWNER BEFORE TEN ONE OF 24 WITH THE NATIONAL ENROLLMENT PARTNERS USING COLONIAL PRODUCTS, WHICH YOU'VE, WE'VE HAD BEFORE.

MOTION CARRIES.

OKAY, IRMA, AGAIN,

[5. Irma Castillo: Discuss/Consider/Approval of re-introducing and rebuilding Selerix Administration Platform on or before 10/1/224, with National Enrollment Partners (NEP) using Colonial Products and providing the file feed to all our carriers timely at no charge to the County for Open Enrollment and Monthly Reporting.]

AND PROVIDING THE FILE FEE TO

[00:10:01]

OUR CURRENT CARRIERS TIMELY HAD NO CHARGE.

THE COUNTY FOR OPEN ENROLLMENT AND MONTHLY REPORTING.

UM, JOE CONLEY, NATIONAL ENROLLMENT PARTNER.

YOU INTRODUCED YOUR GUESTS? YES.

UH, YES.

THIS IS JOE CONLEY.

HE IS THE REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE UM, UH, NATIONAL ENROLLMENT PARTNERS.

AND HE IS THE PERSON THAT WE WERE WORKING BEFORE, UH, FOR 10 YEARS.

WE HAVE THEM, THEIR PLATFORM SERVICE AS CELEREX AND WE NEVER HAD AN ISSUE.

WE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM.

SO WE HAVE REACHED, WE REACHED OUT TO THEM SO THAT WAY THEY CAN PROVIDE THAT PLATFORM AGAIN FOR US.

AND SO ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY WANNA ASK? WE KNOW IT'S BEEN ADMINISTERED PRIOR TO THIS.

I'VE NOT HAD ANY COMPLAINTS.

I'M NOT SURE IRMA HAS EITHER, BUT OUR EMPLOYEES NEED TO KNOW WHAT THEY HAVE AND ABLE TO ACCESS IT WHEN THEY NEED IT.

'CAUSE THEY'RE PAYING FOR IT AND IT'S IMPORTANT WHEN THEY HAVE QUESTIONS.

YES, SIR.

SO THE BENEFIT ADMINISTRATION SYSTEM THAT WE'RE GONNA IMPLEMENT IS THE SAME PLATFORM YOU GUYS HAD FOR ABOUT 10 YEARS PRIOR TO, UH, AFLAC IMPLEMENTING THE PROGRAM YOU PUT IN LAST YEAR.

UH, THE PROGRAM THEY PUT IN WAS EMPLOYEE NAVIGATOR, WHICH IS REALLY A SYSTEM BUILT FOR SMALL GROUP.

IT'S NOT BUILT FOR A GROUP YOUR SIZE, IT DOESN'T HAVE THE FUNCTIONALITY.

I'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR 32 YEARS.

I UNDERSTAND BENEFIT ADMINISTRATION SYSTEMS AND WHAT THEY NEED TO DO AND HOW THEY NEED TO OPERATE.

THE PLATFORM WILL HOUSE ALL BENEFITS.

SO IT WILL HAVE YOUR MEDICAL PLAN, YOUR DENTAL, YOUR VISION, YOUR DISABILITY PROGRAMS, EVERYTHING THAT THE COUNTY HAS.

IT ALL FED PERFECTLY FOR YEARS.

UM, AND SO THE COUNTY REACHED OUT BASICALLY SAYING WHAT WE'VE GOT IS A PROBLEM.

WE'VE GOTTA GO BACK, GET THIS THING FIXED QUICKLY.

SO WE'RE GONNA BUILD THE SOX PLATFORM FOR OPEN ENROLLMENT THIS YEAR.

WE'LL PUT IN ALL OF THE PLANS YOU HAVE CURRENTLY WILL REVIEW THAT WITH EVERY EMPLOYEE TO MAKE SURE THEY UNDERSTAND EXACTLY WHAT THEY HAVE, MAKE ANY CHANGES THAT THEY WANT TO.

SO PART OF THIS WILL BE PROVIDING ENROLLMENT SERVICES AS WELL, WHICH MEANS PEOPLE ON SITE AS WELL AS CALL CENTER FOR THOSE FOLKS THAT JUST CAN'T MEET ON SITE.

SO THEY WILL HAVE THE ABILITY TO TALK TO SOMEBODY, MAKE SURE EVERYTHING'S IN PLACE, GET CONFIRMATION OF THEIR BENEFITS.

AND THEN AS, AS IRMA SAID, YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT HISTORY WITH THE COUNTY IN IMPLEMENTING THIS PROGRAM FOR YOU IN THE PAST NEVER HAD ISSUES WITH IT.

SO, YEAH.

SO IRMA, HOW WILL THIS WORK BETWEEN NOW AND THEN? WE, WE ALREADY BUILT THE PLATFORM.

WE'VE BEEN WORKING FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS SINCE MAY, BUILDING IT READY FOR OPEN ENROLLMENT.

IT WILL DEPLOY FOR OPEN ENROLLMENT THIS YEAR.

SO EMPLOYEES WILL BE ABLE TO START ENROLLING IN AUGUST.

MID-AUGUST.

AND THEN EVERYTHING WILL BE EFFECTIVE TEN ONE AND THEN WE'LL, WE'LL MANAGE THAT DATA BACK AND FORTH TO THE CARRIERS AS WELL.

CONFIRMATIONS, ANY ERROR MESSAGES THAT POP UP, WE'LL DEAL WITH THOSE OURSELVES.

UM, BUT WE'RE A FIDUCIARY WHEN IT COMES TO THIS PROGRAM.

SO WILL THEY SET UP AT THE JUSTICE CENTER AGAIN AND OTHER LOCATIONS ALSO? YES.

WE'RE GONNA BE AT THE ING BRIDGE EARLY IN THE MORNING.

WE HAVE THOSE DAYS ALREADY SET UP.

AND READY TO CALL.

THEY'RE GONNA BE ASSISTING AS LONG AS HUMAN RESOURCES WILL BE PRESENT.

GOOD DEAL.

ANY QUESTIONS? NO, I ENTERTAIN A MOTION THEN I'LL MAKE A MOTION.

MR. HUNT MAKES THE MOTION.

I HAVE A SECOND.

WE'RE GONNA DISCUSS AND CONSIDER AND APPROVE THE ROAD IMPROVEMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN COSTA COUNTY AND POST OAK MHC FOR COUNTY ROAD 1 36 IN PRECINCT ONE.

MR. PHILLIPS MAKE A SECOND.

ALL IN FAVOR AND SAY AYE.

LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU AGAIN.

THANKS JUDGE.

APPRECIATE THANK YOU ALL YOU'RE DOING FOR US.

THANK AND OUR EMPLOYEES.

OKAY MS. SHANNON,

[6. Shannon Roden: Discuss/Consider/Approve the Road Improvement Agreement between Kaufman County and Post Oak MHC for CR 136 in Precinct 1.]

GOOD MORNING.

SO BEFORE YOU, AS THE ROAD AGREEMENT FOR COUNTY ROAD 1 36 THAT ALIGNS WITH THE POST OAK MANUFACTURED HOUSING COMMUNITY, THE COMMISSIONER AND DEVELOPER WORK TOGETHER WITH LEGAL TO DRAFT THIS AGREEMENT FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF THAT ROAD.

WE JUST NEED YOUR APPROVING.

THE ENGINEER, IT'S GONNA BE INSPECTED AND STUFF.

IT'S UH, A ROAD WHERE IT'S GONNA BE A MANUFACTURED HOUSING COMMUNITY IS WE TRAILER OUR HOUSES COMING IN AND OUT ALL THE TIME.

SO WHAT WE DID IS, UH, THEY'RE GONNA BUILD A CONCRETE ROAD TO ACCESS OFF 27 28 TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THEIR PROPERTY SO THEY CAN BRING IN THEIR MANUFACTURED HOMES AND AND MAINTAIN A GOOD ROAD.

UM, ON THE, AND ON THE OTHER SIDE OF 1 36 ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PROPERTY ALL THE WAY TO I 20.

THE, THEY'RE PUTTING IN ASPHALT, THEY'RE NOT GOING CONCRETE THE WHOLE LENGTH OF THE ROAD.

SO THEY HAVE GOOD ACCESS BOTH WAYS FOR THE PEOPLE.

IT'S GONNA BE HOW MANY HOMES ARE IN THIS DEVELOPMENT? I FORGOT.

LET'S SEE.

IT WAS SEE, UH, ABOUT 1,044.

SO THERE'S GONNA BE A LOT OF PEOPLE COMING IN AND OUT.

SO THEY'RE GONNA NEED DOUBLE ACCESS.

SO THEY'RE PUTTING ASPHALT ROAD BACK OUT TO I 20 FOR EGRESS AND, AND ENTRANCE, YOU KNOW, AND STUFF.

SO, AND THEN CONCRETE WHERE THEY CAN BRING IN THE TRAILERS ON ONE WAY AND IT'LL BE UP THE COUNTY ROAD STANDARDS.

UH, IT'S GONNA, WE GOT

[00:15:01]

IT'S ALREADY BEEN ENGINEERED.

WE'VE ALREADY ACCEPTED, UH, UH, TMPS ALREADY CHECKED IT OUT.

AND THEY WILL BE DOING THE INSPECTIONS WHILE THEY'RE BUILDING THE ROAD.

NOW THE ROAD WILL NOT BE BUILT UNTIL THEY START POURING CONCRETE ON THEIR INTERIOR ROADS.

SO DURING THE PROCESS, WHENEVER THEY'RE DOING THEIR PADS AND BUILDING THEIR ROADS, THEY'RE GOING TO KEEP 1 36 PASSABLE BECAUSE A LOT OF EQUIPMENT AND STUFF'S GONNA BE COMING THROUGH THERE.

SO THEY'RE GONNA HAVE A MOTOR GRADER THAT'S GONNA MAINTAIN IT ONCE A WEEK OR WHATEVER TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S PASSABLE AND IN GOOD SHAPE.

AND THEY WON'T BUILD THE CONCRETE ROADS UNTIL THEY START POURING THEIR CONCRETE ROADS.

IT JUST WORKED OUT FOR, IT'S KIND OF AN AGREEMENT WITH THE LOGISTICS, YOU KNOW, INSTEAD OF BUILDING THE ROAD, TAKING EVERYTHING AWAY AND COMING BACK AND BUILDING THEIR INTERIOR ROADS.

SO, UH, BUT IT'S, IT'S A GOOD DEAL FOR THE COUNTY BECAUSE WE'RE GETTING A BRAND NEW ROAD.

IT'S, IT'S BEEN ENGINEERED SO IT'S UH, IT'S A GOOD DEAL.

SO ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMENTS? ALRIGHT, QUESTIONS.

DID THEY HAVE TO PUT A BOND OR ANYTHING ON THAT PART THAT WE'RE LETTING THEM TEAR UP WHILE THEY'RE WAITING? WELL, THEY'VE GOT A TWO YEAR BOND ON THE NEW ROAD.

AFTER IT'S, AFTER THEY FINISH THE CONTRACT, THEY JUST, THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO PUT IN.

SO IF THEY DON'T PUT IT IN, WE GOTTA, NO, IT'S JUST IN THERE.

WE JUST IN THERE, IT'S IN THE AGREEMENT TO MAINTAIN 1 36.

OH OKAY.

DURING THE PROCESS, YOU KNOW, SO, BUT, UH, YOU KNOW, ALL Y'ALL IS IS GRADING 'CAUSE WE, WE GROUND UP THE ROAD BECAUSE IT WAS A CHIPS HILL ROAD.

IT'S TERRIBLE.

YOU COULDN'T KEEP PATCHING IT.

SO JUST GRIND IT UP, KEEP IT GRADED.

KEEP IT SMOOTH UNTIL WE GET THE CONCRETE ROAD IN.

SO THAT, THAT'S THE AGREEMENT IN, IN THE, IN THE DOCUMENT.

FOR THEM TO MAINTAIN THAT.

AND THEN OF COURSE THE ROAD, THEY MAINTAIN THE ROAD AFTER IT'S BUILT AND FOR TWO YEARS THEY'RE RESPONSIBLE AND THEY GOT THE BOND AND STUFF.

SO.

ALRIGHT.

YOU PUTTING THAT IN FORM OF A MOTION? YES SIR.

ALRIGHT, COMMISSIONER TO MAKES THE MOTION TO HAVE A SECOND.

I SECOND MAKES A SECOND.

ALL IN FAVORS SAY AYE.

MOTION SECURITIES.

EXCUSE SHANNON.

ONE

[7. Shannon Roden: Discuss/Consider/Approve Road Improvement Agreement between Kaufman County and Post Oak MHC for CR 137 in Precinct 1.]

MORE TIME.

DISCUSS, CONSIDER APPROVED ROAD IMPROVEMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN CRAWFORD COUNTY AND OAK POST OAK MHC FOR KEN ROAD 1 37.

1 37 IS, GO AHEAD.

OH, UH, THIS AGREEMENT COVERS ABOUT 300 FEET FROM OF COUNTY ROAD 1 37 FROM ANGLIN WAY UP TO THE EMERGENCY ACCESS GATE LOCATED AT THE REAR OF THE DEVELOPMENT.

AND THIS IS PRETTY MUCH THE SAME THING.

IT'S GONNA HAPPEN WHENEVER THEY DO PHASE TWO, WHEN THEY HAVE TO HAVE ANOTHER WAY TO GET IN ACCORDING TO THE FIRE MARSHALS RULES, THE FIRE CODE, UM, REALLY WE WERE UNSUCCESSFUL TO GET THEM TO DO ALL OF 1 37, YOU KNOW, BUT ANGLING WAY WAS WIDE ENOUGH FOR FIRE TRUCKS.

SO THEY WENT AS FAR AS ANGLING WAY TO GET THE FIRETRUCKS IN, IT'S GONNA BE A GATED GATE.

NOW IN THE FUTURE, IF THEY START UTILIZING THAT GATE OTHER THAN FOR FIRE EMERGENCY ENTRANCE, THEN PROBABLY NEED TO HAVE ANOTHER CONVERSATION WITH THE DEVELOPERS TO MAINTAIN 1 37.

BUT UNTIL THAT HAPPENS, IT COULD BE, YOU KNOW, THREE YEARS FROM NOW, FOUR YEARS.

SO, AND A NEW FIRE CODE SHOULD BE COMING IN A COUPLE WEEKS.

I'LL MAKE A MOTION WE DO THIS.

OKAY, MR. SO MAKES THE MOTION TO HAVE A SECOND.

CONSIDER IMPROVED CONSTRUCTION RELEASE EXTENSION REQUEST OR POST OAK MHC DEVELOPMENT LOC LOCATED ON 1 36 AND 1 37 IN PRECINCT ONE.

MR. MOORE MAKES A SECOND.

ALL IN FAVOR? AND SAY AYE.

ALRIGHT, LET TURN PAGE TROUBLE, ISN'T IT? I'M STILL HERE.

I KNOW YOU'RE EASY.

DISCUSS,

[8. Shannon Roden: Discuss/Consider/Approve Construction Release Extension Request for Post Oak MHC Development located on CR136 and CR 137 in Precinct 1.]

SO THIS IS ALSO PART OF THE POST OAK MHC PROJECT.

THEY WERE RELEASED TO BEGIN CONSTRUCTION ON AUGUST 10TH, 2023 BASED ON THE APPROVED INFRASTRUCTURE DESIGN PLANS.

UH, DELAYS OCCURRED WHILE CREATING THE ROAD AGREEMENTS AS WELL AS THE DEVELOPER BIDDING OUT THE PROJECT AND LOCATING A CONTRACTOR.

OUR REGS REQUIRE THAT CONSTRUCTION MUST BEGIN WITHIN 12 MONTHS OF BEING RELEASED AND IF NOT, THEY MAY ASK FOR AN EXTENSION, WHICH THEY'VE DONE.

AND SO WE'RE ASKING FOR THE COURT TO APPROVE GRANTING THIS EXTENSION.

WELL, THE FOLLOWING THE RULES, THEY'RE DOING EVERYTHING RIGHT? YES SIR.

WELL, AND REALLY AND TRULY WE NEED TO GRANT THE EXTENSION BECAUSE A LOT OF THE REASONS THEY'RE NOT MOVING FORWARD IS, YOU KNOW, DRAWING A LINE IN THE SAND.

WE NEEDED A GOOD ROAD THAT WAS MAINTAINED.

SO, WELL THAT'S IT IS REALLY MY FAULT I GUESS BASICALLY , BUT WE, BUT WE NEED TO NEGOTIATE FOR WHAT WE NEED TO.

SURE, THAT'S RIGHT.

COUNTY.

THAT'S RIGHT.

SO I MAKE A MOTION YES.

THAT WE GO AND EXTEND MR MAKES A MOTION.

HAVE A SECOND.

MR. PHILLIPS MAKES SECOND.

MOORE, DISCUSS AND APPROVE THE RESIGNATION OF ESD NUMBER TWO BOARD MEMBERS EARNEST OWENS AND APPOINTING DUSTIN CLARK TO ESD TWO, UH, BOARD FOR

ALRIGHT, COMMISSIONER

[9. Tommy Moore: Discuss/Consider/Approve the resignation of ESD #2 board member Ernest Owens and appointing Dustin Clark to the ESD #2 board for a term of two years.]

[00:20:01]

A TWO YEAR TERM.

UH, BASICALLY ERNEST HAD RESIGNED AND UH, DUSTIN IS GOING TO TAKE OVER.

SO HE DID THE RESIGNATION LETTER.

WE DID ALL THE SWEARING IN STUFF HAD APPROVED BY JUDGE ADAMS AND WE JUST SUBMITTED JUST BE APPROVED TO THE COURT.

SO I'D LIKE TO MAKE THAT MOTION TO APPROVE THAT.

DISCUSS, CONSIDER APPROVE AMENDING THE FOOTAGE OF LAKE RIDGE LANE ON 2024 ROAD REPORT TO READ AT 1,475 FEET.

HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER MOORE.

DO I HAVE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND MR. MAKE A SECOND.

ANY DISCUSSION? IF NOT ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

A A MOTION CARRIES.

THANK YOU COMMISSIONER MOORE.

[10. Tommy Moore: Discuss/Consider/Approve amending the footage of Lake Ridge Lane on the 2024 road report to 1475 feet.]

NOW THIS IS A, WE HAD A, DURING THE FLOODING, UH, WE HAD A ISSUE ON THIS ROAD WHERE ON THE VERY END OF IT, UH, WHEN YOU GO DOWN LAKE RIDGE, IT HAS A CUL-DE-SAC.

BUT THEN THERE'S A MAILBOX WITH A SIGN ON THAT SAYS PRIVATE DRIVE.

AND IT'S ACTUALLY A 10 FOOT WIDE DRIVEWAY.

IT GOES ACROSS A LEVEE ACROSS THE FLOOD CONTROL LAKE THERE, UH, ONE OF THE SOIL CONSERVATION LAKES.

AND, UH, ANYWAY, THERE WAS A DEBATE WITH, WITH THE RESIDENTS WHO LIVE IN THE BACK, BUT THAT'S COUNTY ROAD.

THE REPORTS SUBMITTED TO THE STATE, UH, IN 2014, UH, SHOWED THAT IT ENDED AT THE CUL-DE-SAC.

BUT OLD ROAD REPORTS HAD THE NUMBERS.

ONE WAS LIKE 0.4 MILE ONE SHOWED MORE THAN THAT.

SO I THINK THAT IS WHERE THE CONFUSION WAS.

BUT, AND WHEN I, UH, I BELIEVE COMMISSIONER MANNING, WHEN HE UPDATED ALL THAT BACK IN 14, THIS OFFICIAL COUNTY ROADS, HE HAD SET THAT AT THAT CUL-DE-SAC ACCORDING TO THE MAPS.

SO ANYWAY, I DID MAKE SOME CONTACT WITH THE RESIDENTS.

I DID SPEAK WITH, UH, OWEN, THAT'S WHY I HAD OWEN STAY HERE OR ASKED HIM TO STAY THIS.

AND HE SENT ME A LETTER BASICALLY STATING BASICALLY, UH, THAT THE CROSSING ARROW SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN PUT IN.

NO PROVISION WAS EVER GIVEN TO THE DEVELOPER WHO DEVELOPED THAT IN 19 98, 99 TO PUT THAT ACROSS THERE.

SO, UH, EVEN US, THEY WERE NOT GONNA GIVE US, THEY WOULDN'T GIVE US PERMISSION ANYWAY, SO IT IS A FLOOD CONTROL LAKE.

SO WE AMENDED EVERYTHING TO MAKE EVERYTHING MATCH ALL THE PAPERWORK WORK.

UH, RUN IT THROUGH LEGAL, LET THEM LOOK AT IT.

UH, SO I WAS JUST WANTING TO UPDATE EVERYTHING, GET EVERYTHING CHECKED SO I JUST WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN.

SO.

SOUNDS GOOD.

AND I SUBMITTED ALL THE PAPERWORK, SO YEAH.

UM, ANYWAY, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THAT.

MR. MOORE MADE A MOTION TO APPROVE I A SECOND.

I SECOND MR. TO MAKE A SECOND.

11, TELL GROUPS KEEPS PHILLIPS DISCUSS CONSIDERED APPROVED ROAD ABANDONMENT AGREEMENT FOR MAN ROAD DONATION AND FOR MATERIALS FOR MAN ROAD AND MERAKI ROAD.

[11. Tellus Group/Skeet Phillips: Discuss/Consider/Approve Road abandonment agreement for Mann Road, donation of materials for Mann Road and Meraki Road, and release of liability.]

IS THAT RIGHT? WHATEVER.

AND RELEASE OF LIABILITY.

THAT'S, THEY'RE PUTTING IT IN DEVELOPMENT.

MUD DISTRICT, YOU KNOW, BIG, BIG DEVELOPMENT AND UH, I DON'T, I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER HOW MANY HOMES.

HOW MANY HOMES IS IT JUST IN TOTAL? ABOUT 700.

AND, UH, ANYWAY, THE COUNTY'S GOING TO CONTINUE ON THE RIGHTS TO THE ROAD.

WE'RE GONNA ABANDON IT SO THEY CAN MOVE IT AND THEY'RE GONNA CHANGE THE ANGLES OF IT.

AND WHEN IT GETS DONE, THEY'LL ROAD WILL COME BACK TO THE COUNTY.

THEY COME BACK TO THE COUNTY SO THAT THEY CAN HAVE A LEGAL SPEED LIMIT AND LAW ENFORCEMENT CAN DRIVE UP AND DOWN IT AND DO THE THINGS THAT THEY NEED TO DO BECAUSE IT'D BE ACTUAL COUNTY ROAD INSTEAD OF A PRIVATE ROAD.

B TO THIS AGREEMENT SHOW.

AND IT'LL GO FROM WITH, UH, FROM UH, 5 48 TO FIVE 50.

BASICALLY IT TIES INTO ANOTHER ROAD, BUT I MEAN IT REACHES FIVE 50.

SO, UH, I THINK IT, WE NEED THAT EXCESS FROM EAST TO WEST AND WE'VE ALL DISCUSSED IT AND WE HAD A LITTLE HICCUP WITH A KIND OF THE CITY OF DALLAS WHERE THEY WERE WORRIED AND EVERYBODY A LITTLE PANICKED OVER, BUT IT'S, I DON'T THINK IT'S A BIG DEAL 'CAUSE WE'RE NOT REALLY ABANDONING PROPERTY.

WE'RE JUST ABANDONING OUR ROAD RIGHTS IN A SENSE.

OUR E EASEMENT RIGHTS AND LEGAL'S WORKED IT OUT.

I HOPE SHE'S GOT IT ALL CORRECT ON HER, ON HER AGREEMENT AND THAT'S WHERE WE ARE.

DO YOU WANNA ADDRESS IT, KAREN? WHAT I WANNA DO, FIRST OF ALL, IS THERE'LL BE THREE DOCUMENTS THAT WE WILL, THAT WE WILL ASK THE COURT TO APPROVE TODAY.

YEP.

ONE DOCUMENT IS A MUTUAL ROAD, A MUTUAL AGREEMENT FOR ROAD ABANDONMENT.

AND I DO WANNA PASS AROUND, UM, THE TELE GROUPS IN AN UPDATED EXHIBIT A THAT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL THAT SHOULD BE PUT INTO THE MUTUAL, UM, AGREEMENT FOR ROAD ABANDONMENT.

AND WHAT WE NORMALLY HAVE DONE IN THESE KIND OF CASES, IT'S BASICALLY WHERE THE EXISTING MAN ROAD AND THIS WHAT IS GOING TO BE THE SUBDIVISION DEVELOPMENT WILL BE EFFECTIVELY ABANDONED BY THE COUNTY.

AND THEN THE DEVELOPERS WILL REBUILD AND REALLY REROUTE MAN ROAD SLIGHTLY THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT.

AND THAT'S WHAT EXHIBIT A AND THEN EXHIBIT

[00:25:01]

AND SO IN ORDER FOR THE, UM, DEVELOPERS TO HAVE ACCESS TO BASICALLY DESTROY AND RELOCATE, UM, MAN ROAD, WE HAVE TO, THE COUNTY HAS TO ABANDONMENT ABANDON IT.

AND THEN SO THAT WILL HAPPEN IF WE PASS THAT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT, THEN THE DEVELOPERS WILL, UM, WILL UM, REBUILD AND REROUTE MAN ROAD WORKING CAREFULLY WITH SKEE PHILLIPS A COMMISSIONER.

AND PART OF THAT ROAD WILL ALSO BE RENAMED TO MERAKI PARKWAY DEPENDING ON THE PART OF IT.

AND, UM, AND THEN WHAT, WHEN THE DEVELOPERS REBUILD THAT ROAD, WE ACCEPT AS A DONATION AND THAT'S WHAT WE'LL ALSO DO TODAY, ACCEPTED AS A DONATION, THE ROAD MATERIALS IN THAT ROAD.

AND THEN, AND THEN PER THESE AGREEMENTS, WHEN THE NEW ROAD IS BUILT, THEN THE COUNTY WILL BE, UH, PUT BACK ON THE COUNTY ROAD REPORTS FOR THE APPROPRIATE DISTANCE AND IT'LL BE DEDICATED BACK TO THE COUNTY.

SO TO COMPLY WITH THE STATUTE, WE ABANDON THE ROAD, WE ACCEPT THE DONATION OF ROAD MATERIALS AND THEN THERE IS A MUTUAL RELEASE OF LIABILITY AGREEMENT FORM THAT'S REQUIRED UNDER THE STATUTE FOR THIS PROCESS.

SO THAT IS, IS WHAT IS GOING ON.

I DON'T KNOW IF, UM, JUSTIN CRAIG IS HERE, IF HE MIGHT WANNA COME UP AND GIVE A LITTLE BIT MORE INFORMATION.

SURE.

COME HERE.

AND I GUESS, I GUESS I HADN'T EVEN REALLY THOUGHT ABOUT IT UNTIL JUST NOW SINCE WE HAD TO MOVE THE ROAD.

A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THIS, BUT WE HAD TO ON THEIR DESIGN, WE HAD TO MOVE IT OVER BECAUSE OF NESS AND UH, AND GOOD MORNING.

JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THIS IS WORKING.

JUSTIN CRAIG WITH THE TELUS GROUP, WE PARTNERED WITH SUE MANN ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF MANN RANCH.

THAT, THAT YOU GUYS ARE PROBABLY REALLY FAMILIAR WITH.

UH, A COUPLE KEY POINTS ON THE AGREEMENT.

SO LIKE, UH, KAREN AND S***T HAD MENTIONED WE'RE GONNA BE FULLY IMPROVING MAN ROAD.

UM, THIS AGREEMENT CONTEMPLATES THE ABANDONMENT BUT WE WON'T ACTUALLY ABANDON IT UNTIL WE HAVE THE OTHER ROAD FULLY COMPLETE.

TO PROTECT THEIR INFRASTRUCTURE.

SO THAT'LL BE COMPLETE, READY TO ACCEPT CONDITION, DEDICATE IT, THEN ABANDON THE ROAD.

AND THE OTHER PART OF IT THAT WE'VE DISCUSSED WITH KEET IS S***T IS, UM, KEEPING THE, UH, EXISTING ROAD OPEN FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE TO MINIMIZE THE DOWNTIME THERE.

WE WILL HAVE UM, A DOWNTIME OF ABOUT ONE TO THREE MONTHS DEPENDING UPON HOW, YOU KNOW, WEATHER AND EVERYTHING WORKS.

WHERE WE WILL BE WORKING ON, YOU KNOW, THE OVERLAPPING SEGMENT SURE.

OF THE ROAD.

BUT WE'RE REALLY WORKING HARD TO TRY TO MINIMIZE THAT DOWNTIME.

UH, SKET MENTIONED DWU AND WE ARE, THERE IS THEIR AQUEDUCT OVER THERE AND WE DO NEED TO CROSS IT, BUT THE CROSSING LOCATION ON THE REVISED LOCATION, WE HAVE GOTTEN ENGINEERING APPROVAL OF BOTH, BOTH THE ALIGNMENT AND THE LOAD ISOLATION STRUCTURE.

WE HAVE TO BUILD BASICALLY LIKE A, A BRIDGE GROUND LEVEL BRIDGE THAT'S RIGHT.

AND SO THEY'VE, THE ENGINEERING GROUP HAS FULLY APPROVED THAT WE HAVE THAT IN WRITING NOW.

IT JUST HAS TO GO THROUGH DWS LEGAL PROCESS, WHICH, YOU KNOW, WE'RE JUST GONNA HAVE TO KEEP BUGGING 'EM EVERY DAY AND RIGHT.

WE'LL GET THE ENCROACHMENT AGREEMENT.

BUT LIKE I SAID, WE WON'T ACTUALLY ABANDON THE ROAD, THE EXISTING ROAD UNTIL, YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT THAT ENCROACHMENT AGREEMENT.

WE CAN'T EVEN DO THE WORK IN THERE.

I DON'T EVEN THINK YOU CAN TEAR IT UP.

NO, YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING.

IT'LL, IT'LL SIT THERE I GUESS.

YEAH, I GUESS ONCE YOU'LL JUST BARRICADE THE END OF IT OFF AND SAY YOU CAN'T USE IT AND WE THERE BARRICADE THE OTHER END.

THAT'S THE OTHER PIECE, PART OF THIS WHOLE EFFORT WAS WE'VE BEEN HAVING TO AVOID A, A NESTING EAGLES NEST.

WOW.

AND SO THERE'S A 660 FOOT RADIUS, SO THAT'S, YOU KNOW, RIGHT AT THE ENTRY THERE, UM, THAT'S REALLY NECESSITATED THIS WHOLE RIGHT EFFORT, UM, IN RELOCATING IT WITH DWU AND EVERYTHING.

SO YES, ONCE WE HAVE EVERYTHING DONE, THE ROAD'S ABANDONED.

IT'S GONNA BE A PERIOD OF TIME BEFORE WE CAN GO IN THERE AND ACTUALLY PULL OUT THE INFRASTRUCTURE.

'CAUSE WE CAN'T GET IN THAT 660 FOOT RADIUS.

SO IT MIGHT BE, IT MIGHT BE, YOU KNOW, IF THEY KEEP COMING BACK THE WAY THEY SAY THEY KEEP COMING BACK TO THAT NEST UNTIL EITHER THE TREE FALLS OVER OR THE, OR SOMETHING HAPPENS TO THE BIRDS.

I MEAN THAT'S JUST, IT'S GONNA SIT THERE.

THE MINIMUM AMOUNT OF TIME WE HAVE TO MONITOR IS FIVE YEARS.

SO, UH, ALRIGHT PHELPS, YOU GONNA MAKE THAT A MOTION? I'M GONNA MAKE THAT A MOTION.

YOU HAVE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND.

SECOND.

ANY HAVE FURTHER DISCUSSION COMMENTS? NOPE.

IF NOT, ANY MOTION TO APPROVE EVERYBODY SAY AYE.

[00:30:04]

DISCUSS, CONSIDER ANCE TO THE COUNTY PERSONNEL POLICY MANUAL.

SECTION TWO A DASH 6 2 8 DASH EIGHT AND TWO A DASH 10.

WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO TODAY, WE'RE GONNA WORKSHOP THIS AT A LATER TIME.

WE HAVE MORE TIME 'CAUSE I WANT US TO GET THROUGH BUDGET AND THEN WE'LL COME BACK TO THIS.

'CAUSE THIS IS GONNA BE A LITTLE BIT LENGTHY AND YOU HAVE EVERYBODY TIME TO LOOK AT IT, PONDER IT, YOU CAN CHUNK ROCKS AT IT.

BUT THERE'S SOME CHANGES THAT, UH, WE FEEL LIKE THAT WE NEED TO LOOK AT CLOSER.

AND SO, UH, ANYTHING YOU WANNA SAY TODAY, UH, THEN FEEL FREE TO DO SO.

OTHERWISE THEN I WOULD UH, MAKE A MOTION THAT WE PASS ON THIS.

WELL IF YOU'RE NOT GONNA BRING IT BACK NEXT WEEK WHEN THIS, IT'S NOT GONNA BE NEXT WEEK.

UH, NO, IT'S GONNA BE AFTER WE'RE NOT PASS.

I THOUGHT BEFORE WE, NO, I GOTTA GO BACK TO 12.

I'M SORRY.

I GOT IT RIGHT HERE IN FRONT OF ME.

LET'S GO BACK TO 12.

[12. Judge Allen: Discuss/Consider/Adoption of Resolution Calling for the Prohibition of Applying Biosolids in Kaufman County, Texas.]

I PUT THE CHECK MARKS ON THE WRONG ONE HERE.

CONSIDER ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION CALLING FOR THE PROHIBITION OF APPLYING BY ALL SOLIDS IN KAUFMAN COUNTY.

YOU SHOULD.

WELL, NO, THIS IS A BIG ISSUE OF BRINGING BIOSOLIDS IN DIFFERENT COUNTIES.

UH, WE HAVE NO CONTROL OVER WHAT IS IN THOSE BIOSOLIDS AND THE CONTAMINATIONS THAT IT MIGHT BRING.

WE KNOW JOHNSON COUNTY'S DONE IT.

TARN COUNTY'S DOING IT AND PROBABLY SOME OTHERS.

BUT WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WHEN PEOPLE APPLY TO PUT BIO SOLID IS JUST HUMAN WASTE.

THEY DID IT YEARS AGO IN HUNT BOTTOMS AND IT WAS NOT PLEASANT.

UH, THAT'S, THAT'S GONNA SMELL FOR A LONG TIME.

WELL THAT'S WHERE THE WATER RECLAMATION PLACE IS.

RIGHT? I KNOW.

TAKE THAT.

BUT ANYWAY, WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN TO OUR COUNTY BECAUSE IF YOU'RE A NEIGHBOR TO IT, IT'D BE TOUGH LIVING THERE.

SO WE JUST WANNA PUT ON NOTICE THAT WE HAVE THIS IN OUR RULES.

UH, WE'LL SEND THIS TO TCEQ TO LET THEM KNOW WHAT WE'VE DONE AND HOPEFULLY IT WILL NOT CAUSE AN ISSUE FOR US IN THE FUTURE.

SO MONIQUE HAS RESEARCHED IT.

WE FOLLOWED WHAT JOHNSON COUNTY HAS DONE, TARRANT COUNTY.

AND SO WE JUST ASK YOU FOR PERMISSION TO DO THE SAME THING FOR OUR COUNTY.

AND THIS APPLIES TO HUMAN WASTE ONLY, RIGHT? YES.

NOT CHICKEN.

WHAT'S BAD ABOUT THAT WASTE? THIS WAS COMING FROM ARKANSAS OR LOUISIANA.

WHERE WAS IT COMING FROM? I DON'T KNOW.

IT WASN'T EVEN COMING FROM OUR STATE .

BUT ANYWAY, IT'S, IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD WHAT IT IS HERE.

I WOULD LIKE TO ADD THAT YOU, UM, WHERE WE JUST NEED TO BE CAREFUL IF PEOPLE COME TO THE COMMISSIONER'S OFFICE AND THEY'RE WANTING TO PUT, UM, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THIS FERTILIZER IS FREE TO FARMERS AND RANCHERS AND SO YOU JUST WANNA BE AWARE OF, UM, THAT THE COUNTY HAS PASSED THIS RESOLUTION THAT WE DON'T WANNA USE THIS AND ASKING TCEQ TO, YOU KNOW, UP THE REQUIREMENTS AND, AND MAKE SOME CHANGES.

BUT PEOPLE DO NEED TO BE AWARE BECAUSE IT MAY NOT BE, IT MAY NOT COME PACKAGED LIKE YOU EXPECT IT TO COME.

SO I JUST WANT PEOPLE THAT YOU OUGHT TO BE AWARE OF THE RESOLUTION AND UM, AND THE IMPACT OR THE POTENTIAL IMPACT OF THE BIOSOLIDS.

ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? COMMENT? THIS IS JUST A RESOLUTION.

YEAH, IT'S JUST YES.

JUST A RESOLUTION.
