FIRST ONE, DISCUSS, CONSIDER AND APPROVE THE FINAL PLAT FOR AARON ESTATES LOCATED ON 40 12 IN PRECINCT FOUR IN HIDEAWAY LANE.

GOOD AFTERNOON.

SUCH AN ABBOT TO SAY GOOD MORNING, .

SO AARON ESTATES IS ABOUT 10 ACRES AND THAT IS BEING SPLIT INTO SIX LOTS.

UH, LOT ONE IS ONE AND A HALF.

THE REST OF THE LOTS ARE 1.49.

UM, ALL THAT DOCUMENTATION WAS SUBMITTED WITH THE AGENDA PACKET AND WE JUST NEED THE COURT'S APPROVAL.

COMMISSIONER MOORE.

CASE MA'AM.

LOT 38 AND 39.

THEY TOTAL ABOUT 6.3 ACRES.

UH, WE'RE STARTING WITH TWO LOTS.

WE'RE GONNA END WITH TWO LOTS.

THEY'RE JUST CHANGING THE LAYOUT OF THOSE LOTS.

UM, SO ALL OF THAT, UH, REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION WAS ALSO SUBMITTED.

UH, THE PROPERTY, UH, BEING IN A A RECORDED SUBDIVISION, WE NOTIFIED ALL THE RESIDENTS AND THE PUBLIC AND WE JUST NEED YOUR APPROVAL FOR THAT REPL.

ANY COMMENTS IN YOUR PRECINCT? I'LL MAKE THE MOTION.

OKAY, MS. SHANNON,

[5. Shannon Roden: Discuss/Consider/Approve the replat of lot 2 of Meadowbrook Acres located in Meadowbrook Drive and Meadowbrook Circle in Precinct 1. ]

TWO OF MEADOWBROOK ACRES LOCATED IN MEADOWBROOK DRIVE AND MEADOWBROOK CIRCLE IN PRECINCT ONE.

OKAY, SO WE ARE GOING TO ASK THE COURT TO TABLE THIS ITEM.

UH, WHEN I GOT BACK FROM LUNCH TODAY, I RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM A PROPERTY OWNER IN THAT SUBDIVISION WHO STATES THERE ARE DEED RESTRICTIONS THAT PROHIBIT THE LAND FROM BEING SUBDIVIDED.

SO WE'RE GONNA NEED TO DO A LITTLE BIT MORE RESEARCH AND BRING THIS BACK BEFORE THE COURT.

SO WE JUST WANNA PASS ON IT, PASS, BE THE BEST WAY, PASS ON NUMBER FIVE, THEN WRITE THAT NUMBER SIX.

ONCE

[6. Shannon Roden: Discuss/Consider Approve the final plat of Shirley Ann’s Ranch located on CR 111 and CR 115 in Precinct 1. ]

AND AGAIN, ALL THAT DOCUMENTATION WAS SUBMITTED WITH THE PACKET.

AND WE JUST NEED THE COURT'S APPROVAL.

MAKE YOUR MOTION.

NO, I'VE CHECKED ALL THE BOXES.

MAKE MOTION.

MR. HUNT MAKES THE MOTION TO HAVE A SECOND.

MR. PHILLIPS MAKES A SECOND.

ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.

NUMBER SEVEN, MS.

[7. Elections: Discuss/Consider approving a Resolution Opposing Elimination of Countywide Polling Place Program. ]

TANDY, COME FORWARD.

SHE'S GOING TO DISCUSS AND CONSIDER APPROVING A RESOLUTION OPPOSING THE ELIMINATION OF COUNTYWIDE POLLING PLACE PROGRAM.

THAT ARE CRITICAL TO COUNTYWIDE POLLING PLACES, AND TWO OF THEM ARE SPECIFIC TO THE ELIMINATION, WHILE TWO OF THEM ARE SPECIFIC TO THE ELIMINATION OF A PRODUCT THAT IS REQUIRED TO PARTICIPATE IN THAT PROGRAM.

GOOD AFTERNOON.

SO, AS YOU GENTLEMEN ARE AWARE, I SENT A LIST OF LEGISLATIVE BILLS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN FILED FOR THE 2025 SESSION THAT INVOLVE ELECTIONS.

FOUR OF THEM HAVE ITEMS

[00:05:01]

SO WE'RE ASKING THE COURT TO CONSIDER APPROVING THIS RESOLUTION IN OPPOSITION OF THE ELIMINATION OF COUNTYWIDE POLLING PLACES.

IF WE ELIMINATE COUNTYWIDE POLLING PLACES, WE'RE ELIMINATING A CONVENIENCE FOR OUR VOTERS, ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT TRAVEL FOR WORK.

ADDITIONALLY, WE CANNOT SECURE A POLLING LOCATION.

EVERY PRECINCT IN OUR COUNTY.

CURRENTLY, WE HAVE 37 PRECINCTS.

WE'RE GONNA BE LOOKING AT MORE OF THOSE NEXT YEAR BECAUSE WE HAVE TO REDISTRICT ANY PRECINCT OVER 5,000 POPULATION.

SO FOR THAT REASON, WE ASK THAT YOU CONSIDER APPROVING THIS RESOLUTION.

AND IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO, AND WE ALL REALIZE IT'S REALLY CONVENIENT FOR ANY RESIDENT OF THE COUNTY, THEY CAN STOP AT ANY OF OUR POLLING LOCATIONS, CAST THEIR VOTE, IT'S COUNTED WHETHER IT'S IN THEIR PRECINCT OR NOT, BECAUSE IT'S SPECIFICALLY FOR THEM.

THIS WOULD COST US A LOT OF MONEY FINDING THE LOCATIONS, NUMBER ONE, FINDING THE JUDGE'S, NUMBER TWO, AND JUST THE INCONVENIENCE BECAUSE YEARS AGO, YOU KNOW, WE HAD TO DO THIS, THE COST OF THE EQUIPMENT ALONE IS ASTRONOMICAL.

OH YEAH.

TO PULL SOMETHING LIKE THIS OFF.

UM, BUT WHEN WE LOOK AT THESE LOCATIONS THAT DON'T HAVE PUBLIC BUILDINGS THAT WE CAN USE, OR EVEN A PRIVATE BUILDING, THEN WE WOULD HAVE TO CONSIDER PUTTING TWO POLLING LOCATIONS IN A BUILDING IN A NEIGHBORING PRECINCT.

WE WOULDN'T EVEN BE ABLE TO COMBINE THEM.

THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.

IT'S NOT COST EFFECTIVE FOR COUNTIES OUR SIZE.

IT'S NOT CONVENIENT FOR OUR VOTERS.

UM, THE COUNTYWIDE POLLING PLACE HAS ALSO ELIMINATED MANY PROVISIONAL BALLOTS THAT USED TO HAPPEN BECAUSE PEOPLE TEND TO GO TO WHERE THEY KNOW WHEN YOU HAVE A FINE LINE ON PRECINCT LINES OR FOR EXAMPLE, AFTER REDISTRICTING MM-HMM .

YOU'RE GONNA HAVE SOMEBODY DRIVING FROM THE EDGE CAMP ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE COURTHOUSE TO VOTE.

AND WE, YEARS PAST WE HAD THAT HAPPEN.

MM-HMM .

AND THEY WOULD REALLY BE UPSET AND TIME CONSUMING.

WELL, THEY'D COME, IT'S A VERY GOOD PROGRAM.

THEY'D COME TO THE SUB COURTHOUSE AND WANNA VOTE.

AND OF COURSE THAT ON ELECTION DAY, IF THAT'S NOT, WASN'T THEIR PRECINCT BOX, THEY COULDN'T VOTE THERE.

THEY HAD TO GO TO THE PRECINCT BOX AND SO THEY JUST WOULDN'T VOTE.

THAT'S CORRECT.

SO TO ME, IF YOU'RE, IF YOU'RE TRYING TO SUPPRESS THE VOTE, THEN IT'S A GOOD WAY TO DO IT.

THIS IS A GOOD WAY TO DO IT, IS GET RID OF OUR CENTRAL, AND AGAIN, I, I CAN UNDERSTAND LEGISLATURE'S CONCERN WITH OTHER COUNTIES, BUT I, I THINK YOU NEED TO LOOK AT THIS ON A COUNTY BY COUNTY BASIS WHERE IT IS BEING UTILIZED AND, AND THE CONSTITUENTS ARE BENEFITING FROM IT.

THAT'S WHAT WE SHOULD FIRST AND FOREMOST CONSIDER.

OH, WE'VE PEOPLE NOT OUR OWN, OWN PERSONAL PREFERENCES.

AND I, I SPOKE WITH REPRESENTATIVE BA ABOUT IT AND HE, UH, AGREES THAT IT'S NICE TO KEEP WHAT WE HAVE.

IT'S NOT BROKEN HERE.

YOU MAY HAVE BEEN IN SOME COUNTIES.

AND AGAIN, YOU KNOW, WE, WE'VE BEEN VERY DILIGENT IN NOT REDUCING POLLING LOCATIONS UNLESS SOMEBODY ABSOLUTELY REFUSES US.

UM, AND SO OUR VOTERS ARE USED TO THAT CONSISTENCY AND THE ABILITY, AGAIN, TO GO ANYWHERE THAT THEY NEED TO.

WELL, I PROMISE OUR NUMBERS HAVE GONE UP EVER SINCE WE'VE DONE THAT.

YOU KNOW, OUR NUMBERS KEEP GROWING.

MM-HMM .

WE WERE A LITTLE OVER 110,000 REGISTERED VOTERS BEFORE WE COMPLETED OUR CANCELLATION PROCESS FOR OUR SUSPENSE VOTERS WHO HAVE BEEN IN SUSPENSE FOR THE LAST 80 YEARS, EIGHT YEARS.

AND, AND WE'RE STILL ABOVE THAT 106,000 MARK AFTER THAT.

SO WE'RE JUST GONNA CONTINUE TO GROW.

SURE, SURE.

OKAY, SO Y'ALL DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS ENTAILS AND THIS RESOLUTION, WE'LL GO TO OUR REPRESENTATIVE AND ALSO GO TO OUR STATE SENATOR TO OPPOSE THIS.

AND SO I NEED A MOTION TO SO DO IT.

IF THAT'S YOUR PLEASURE, I'LL MAKE A MOTION.

MAKES THE MOTION TO HAVE A SECOND.

COMMISSIONER DON MAKES A SECOND.

AND JUST FOR YOUR INFORMATION, UH, WE'RE ALSO GONNA BE FORWARDING A COPY OF OUR SIGNED RESOLUTION TO HENDERSON ELLIS AND ROCKWALL COUNTIES BECAUSE THEY ALSO WANNA PARTICIPATE IN THIS TYPE OF EFFORT.

WELL, YES.

WELL, WE NEED TO FIND SOME WAY TO LET THE PUBLIC KNOW THIS SO THEY CAN HAVE INPUT.

WELL, OUR NEWSPAPER LADIES RIGHT THERE WITH ALL THE LEGISLATORS.

DO YOU FAVOR ? LET THE CITIZENS REACH OUT TO 'EM AND, YOU KNOW, AND, AND, BECAUSE I CAN'T BELIEVE IT WOULD BE NICE IF YOU COULD GET WITH TANDY TO GET A REALLY GOOD, UH, ARTICLE OF REALLY WHAT'S HAPPENING.

THE COST, THE LOGISTICS, UH, AND THE INCONVENIENCE TO THE, TO THE VOTER.

IT'S AN ISSUE.

BIG ISSUE.

THANK YOU, GENTLEMEN.

THANK YOU, TANDY.

SO NOW IF YOU WANNA GO AHEAD AND COME FORWARD, WE'RE SIGNING THIS.

[00:10:01]

SO TWO PAGES? YEAH.

IT'S A BLANK PAGE ON THE BACK.

IL, WE'RE GONNA DISCUSS AND APPROVE THE PURCHASING CONTRACT COURTHOUSE CONTROLS DIRECTLY FROM A PS BUILDING SERVICES.

THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING.

EXTRA COPY.

I THOUGHT MAYBE TWO COPIES WANTED TO SIGN OR SOMETHING.

WHO KNOWS? I THOUGHT I BETTER CHECK.

OKAY, MS.
