YOU WANT TO EXPLAIN THAT? YES.
SO THE EVALUATION COMMITTEE MET LAST WEEK AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT WE DO NOT FEEL LIKE THE COUNTY NEEDS AND OWNER'S REPRESENTATIVE THROUGH THIS PROCESS AND THAT IT WOULD JUST BE AN ADDITIONAL CONSULTANT AND WE WILL DISCUSS THE DELIVERY METHOD NEXT, BUT WE FEEL LIKE THE PROCESSES THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE IN PLACE THAT THIS WON'T BE A NECESSARY COMPONENT OF THE BUILDING OF THE JUSTICE CENTER.

TO ITEM THREE.UH, DIS, UH, WE HAVE A CITY MANAGER, MIKE SLIDE WITH US.
YOU OUR CITY MANAGER, MIKE SALON.
ARE YOU, UH, SO WHAT'S BEFORE US IS, UH, IN ITEM THREE IS DISCUSSED, CONSIDER APPROVING AN ORDER APPOINTING DIRECTOR TO SERVE AS A MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF TAX INCREMENT FINANCING, DISTRICT REINVESTMENT ZONE NUMBER ONE.
GOOD MORNING JUDGE AND COMMISSIONER.
SO, UH, THIS IS A ANNUAL ACTUALLY A BIANNUAL EVENT.
UH, JUST REAPPOINTING THE COUNTY'S REPRESENTATIVE TO THE KAUFFMAN TAX INCREMENT REINVESTMENT ZONE BOARD TRADITIONALLY HAS BEEN THE PRECINCT COMMISSIONER POINTED TO THAT I WOULDN'T DISSIPATE IN AND RECOMMEND THAT WE CONTINUE THE SAME AS FOR A TWO YEAR TERM AND IT'S IN AND WHAT YOU HAD DONE IN THE PAST IS, IS UH, APPOINTED THE POSITION, NOT THE PERSON.
I JUST KNOW YOU'RE UP FOR AN ELECTION PRESENT.
SO, UH, SO ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT? THIS IS COMMON PRACTICE AROUND OUR COUNTY.
UH, SO I DON'T THINK YOU'D BE QUALIFIED TO MAKE THIS MOTION, BUT IF SOMEBODY WOULD CARE TO MAKE A MOTION, I THINK THE MOTION WOULD BE TO APPOINT THE COMMISSIONER FROM PRECINCT ONE TO SERVE ON THE KAUFFMAN TAX INCREMENT REINVESTMENT ZONE NUMBER ONE.
I'LL MAKE THAT SUCH PERCENTAGE OF MOTION.
WE HAVE THAT MOTION FROM COMMISSIONER PHILLIPS.
IS THERE A SECOND? HOW SECOND? SECOND.
[00:10:01]
SAYING AYE.WELL HE'S A LUCKY DEVIL THAT WAS OPPOSED.

[9. Randy Richards; Discuss/consider amending 2020 Fire Code to create Board of Review process for appeals.]
NEXT STEP.RANDY RICHARD, OUR FIRE MARSHALL DISCUSS, CONSIDER AMENDING THE 2020 FIRE CODE TO CREATE BOARD OF DIRECTORS PROCESS FOR APPEALS.
I BELIEVE YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU THE RED LINE VERSION, WHICH HAD THE ORIGINAL TEXT ALONG WITH OUR PROPOSALS AND THEN A REVISED COPY, KIND OF A CLEAN VERSION OF OUR REVISIONS.
UH, SAW THE NEED FOR, UH, A MORE SIMPLIFIED APPROACH FOR, TO PROVIDE THE PUBLIC WITH THE MAINS OF APPEAL.
UH, WHAT THE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES PROGRAM IS INITIATED IS WORKING OUT VERY WELL AND IT'S RELATIVELY SIMPLE FOR THE PUBLIC.
AND WE, UH, OPTED TO USE THAT SAME COMMITTEE WITH THE ADDITION OF ANOTHER MEMBER OF THE COUNTY.
AND, UM, I HAVE, UH, APPROACHED THE BUSINESSMAN WITH OUR COUNTY.
HE'S HAD NUMEROUS BUSINESSES IN THIS COUNTY.
I THINK YOU'RE ALL FAMILIAR WITH HIM.
HE'S ACTUALLY ON ANOTHER COMMITTEE THAT WE'VE HAD IN THE COUNTY.
UH, MR ART BROWNING AND A VERY RESPECTABLE MAN AND GOOD HEAD ON HIS SHOULDERS.
I THINK HE WOULD BE ABLE TO, UH, BE A GOOD REPRESENTATIVE FOR THE BUSINESSES SIDE OF THIS WOULD BE IF, UH, IF, UH, IF, IF SOMEONE THAT WAS IN PROCESS OF CONSTRUCTING A BUILDING, YES, SIR.
UM, IF THEY DIDN'T AGREE WITH THE DECISION OF THE FIRE MARSHAL'S OFFICE, THEY WOULD HAVE THIS APP.
THEY COULD SET UP AN APPEAL, UH, HEARING AND MEET BEFORE THIS COMMITTEE.
AND THEN, UH, THEY, WHATEVER THE COMMITTEE DECIDES, UH, THE, WHOEVER'S DOING THE CONSTRUCTION, IF THEY DIDN'T, IF THE COMMITTEE DENIED THEIR APPEAL, THEN THEY COULD APPEAL THAT TO THE COMMISSIONER'S COURT.
JUST LIKE TO THE DEVELOPMENT DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.
SAME PROCESS WITH THE ADDITION OF THAT, THAT ONE PERSON REPRESENTING THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY.
RANDY, COULD YOU TELL US AGAIN WHO WILL BE ON THIS COMMITTEE? WHAT, WHO, WHO MAY TELL YOU THE IMMEDIATE PERSON FROM THE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES OSF SIDE OF THINGS, IT'LL BE THE DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES, THE FIRE MARSHALL, AND IT'LL BE THE COUNTY ENGINEER.
AND THEN, UH, IT WILL HAVE THIS PERSON AS WELL THAT, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE SUGGESTED, OH, I DID MENTION THE COUNTY ENGINEER AND A MEMBER OF, UH, THE ENVIRONMENTAL ENFORCEMENT DIVISION.
IT'S ACROSS THE BOARD, COVERS ALL ASPECTS.
BUT WHAT'S THAT ENVIRONMENTAL ENFORCEMENT? WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? ONE OF THE SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES? YES, SIR.
IT WOULD BE A SHERIFF'S DEPUTY THAT'S ASSIGNED TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL ENFORCEMENT DIVISION.
UH, THERE WILL BE TIMES THAT WE WOULD NEED TO MEET AND REFERENCE TO MATTERS DISCUSSING OSF.
THAT'S WHY I'M A MEMBER OF THE OSF SETS TO PROVIDE GOOD INFORMATION.
THE UH, MATTERS THAT MAY COME BEFORE THAT BOARD.
THAT WOULD BE THE ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES.
WE HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE FROM THAT BOARD TO PROVIDE THE COMMITTEE WITH INFORMATION AS WELL AS THE FIRE MARSHAL'S OFFICE.
AND THEN IN ADDITION WOULD BE THE COUNTY ENGINEER AND THIS, AND WHAT'S THE, UH, WHAT'S THE PROPOSED TERM OF THE AT LARGE CITIZEN TO YOUR TURN? YES, SIR.
APPOINTED BY THE COMMISSIONER'S COURT? YES.
IS HE NAMED IN THIS? I DIDN'T SEE HIM.
HE IS NOT, UH, WHEN, WHEN THIS WAS DRAFTED.
SO WE'LL DRAFT THIS FIRST AND THEN HE'LL BE BROUGHT TO US TO BE ADDED TO THE COMMITTEE.
UH, YOU KNOW, THE LANGUAGE IS IN THERE FOR A PERSON FROM THE PUBLIC, YOU KNOW, FROM THE RESIDES IN COMPTON COUNTY THAT WOULD REPRESENT AND PEOPLE THAT MAKE, THAT WOULD MAKE SIX TOTALS, THE FIVE REGULAR BOARD MEMBERS WITH THE ADDITION OF THE SIX PERSON FROM THE BUSINESS SIDE OF THINGS KIND OF LEADS TO, RIGHT, RIGHT.
WELL, A TOP, BUT A TIE VOTE WOULD BE A DECISION WHICH STAND.
DIRECTOR OF WHICHEVER DEPARTMENT IS BEING UP WOULD NOT VOTE UNLESS THERE WAS A NEED FOR A PI.
IN OTHER WORDS, IF IT WERE OSF, THAT DIRECTOR WOULD NOT VOTE RELATED TO OSF UNLESS IT WAS NEEDED FOR TIME RECORD.
HE COULDN'T VOTE BECAUSE OF IT WAS THE TIDE.
I MEAN IT COULDN'T BE A TIE IF HE, IF HE CAN'T VOTE IN THE ONLY BE FIVE PEOPLE VOTING.
UNLESS YOU DIDN'T HAVE ANY MEMBER PRESENT.
WHAT IS THAT SPELLED OUT THERE THAT HAS HAPPENED? YES.
IS THAT SPELLED OUT IN THE CODE THAT THE DEPARTMENT HAD WON'T VOTE? NO SIR.
THE, THE WAY IT'S AND THE WAY THE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES, IF YOU
[00:15:01]
LACK SOME INFORMATION TO MAKE SURE THE WAY IT'S WORKING CURRENTLY IS THE DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES, IF IT WERE RELATED TO SSF, WOULD NOT VOTE SOMEBODY THAT WAS A NEED FOR A TIE-BREAKING THAT CORRECT.WE, WE ADDED AN EXTRA PERSON ON THAT DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT COMMITTEE SO THAT THERE'D BE FIVE.
BUT I TEND TO AGREE WITH THE JUDGE.
IF IT'S A TIE, THEN IT WOULD JUST STAND.
UNLESS YOU GUYS WANT TO AMEND THE LANGUAGE TO ADD THAT IN THERE REGARDING TIES.
I THINK TO AMEND IT TO PUT IN, CAUSE YOU COULD NOT, IT'S ENTIRELY POSSIBLE YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A MEETING WITH NOT EVERY MEMBER PRESENT SO YOU COULD HAVE A TIME THAT'S ALREADY OCCURRED.
SO REBECCA, I'M SORRY, SAY THAT ONE MORE TIME.
IN THE EVENT OF A TIE, THE DECISION OF THE DEPARTMENT STANDS IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.
IN OTHER WORDS, THIS IS LIKE, LIKE OUR COURT, WE RIGHT, I UNDERSTAND AND TIE IT TO THE GOOD MINISTER'S COURT MOTION WOULDN'T FAIL SO EUROPEAN WOULDN'T FAIL AND AGAIN THAT PERSON, IF IT FAILS, THAT PERSON HAS THE OPTION TO COME TO COMMISSIONER'S COURT.
I JUST THINK IF YOU'RE GOING TO PUT UP, IF YOU'RE GOING TO PUT THIS WICKED REBELLION ON THERE, THEN YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE SEX.
I THINK THERE OUGHT TO BE SOMETHING IN THERE THAT WOULD, RIGHT.
IF THERE'S GOING TO BE SIX ON THERE, THERE OUGHT TO BE LANGUAGE THEN THAT PRECLUDES THE TIE.
IF ANYONE CHOOSES TO AMEND THAT AND THEN WE CAN, UH, WE CAN PROVIDE THE COURT WITH THE, REBECCA, WHAT'S YOUR OPINION AGAIN? I, I THINK I TEND TO AGREE WITH THE JUDGE THAT, I MEAN MAYBE YOU CAN ADD A LINE THAT SAYS IN THE EVENT OF A TIE, THEN, UH, THE MOTION TO APPEAL IT WOULD FAIL.
BUT THEN AT THE SAME TIME, THEY ALSO HAVE A SECONDARY APPEAL TO THE COMMISSIONER'S COURT.
CAUSE THE FIRST COURT TO THE COMMISSIONER'S COURT.
SO, AND SO THEN WE WOULD, WE WOULD TOLERATE A TIE BECAUSE IT HAS THE SECONDARY APPEAL.
WELL, IF THEY CHOSE TO, I MEAN THEY WOULD, THEY WOULD AUTOMATICALLY FAIL.
SO IT JUST, IT COMES TO US WHEN IT, WHEN IT'S, IF THE APPELLANT RIGHT OFF, RIGHT.
WOULDN'T AUTOMATICALLY COME DOWN, WASN'T THAT RIGHT? YEAH.
THEY HAVE TO CHOOSE TO COME TO US.
UM, ONE THING I WOULD LIKE TO, UH, WHEN DID WE IMPLEMENT, UH, THE FIRE CODE IN KAUFMAN COUNTY? HOW LONG HAVE WE HAD IT? THE ORIGINAL PARK CODE WAS IMPLEMENTED IN, I BELIEVE JUNE OF 2006, IF I'M 27.
SO WE'VE HAD IT FOR QUITE A WHILE.
AND I KNOW THERE'S STILL A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT WE DO HAVE A FIRE CODE AND WE DON'T, THE STATE DOESN'T GIVE AS MUCH.
I MEAN, WE GET TO REGULATE OUR SEPTIC AND WE GET TO TAKE CARE OF, WE JUST HAD A REAL BIASES WITH THE FIRE CODE.
WE DESPERATELY, PRETTY MUCH ALL WE HAVE AND I KNOW THAT MOST OF THE DECISIONS AND STUFF AND A LOT OF THEM THAT CAN BECOME CONTROVERSIAL.
SO I DO AGREE WITH SOME TYPE OF APPEAL PROCESS.
BUT MAYBE WE NEED TO DO A LITTLE BIT BETTER TO LET EVERYBODY KNOW THAT WE DO HAVE A FIRE CODE AND THAT IT'S OUT THERE.
AND IT JUST, I MEAN, WE'RE NOT A LOT DIFFERENT THAN THE CITIES NOW.
I MEAN BACK IN THE DAY YOU COULD JUST COME AND PUT UP A BUSINESS IN THE COUNTY OR DO WHAT YOU WANTED TO IN THE COUNTY.
BUT NOW, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE OTHERS, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE HAVE PLACES OF ASSEMBLY OR SOMEBODY, SOME SET UP A CHURCH OR A, A WEDDING VENUE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
SO WE JUST NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE SOME AVENUE TO GET IT OUT THERE, TO LET THE PUBLIC KNOW THAT WE DO HAVE A FIRE COAT.
I THINK THEY'RE NOT THE APPEAL PROCESS, BUT PEOPLE, I MEAN, WE'RE GROWING, BUT WE'RE REALLY NOT GETTING, A LOT OF PEOPLE JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT.
WE DO HAVE REGULATIONS OUT EVEN THOUGH WE AREN'T JUST AN EXAMPLE, BUT THE CHAPTER ONE OF THE CODE, WHICH IS PRIMARILY THE ADMINISTRATION AND APPEALS PROCESS, UH, ALONG WITH DEPARTMENTS THAT'S BEEN PLACED ON THE COUNTY'S WEBSITE.
WE ADVERTISE IT ON THAT WEBPAGE.
WE HAVE THEM AVAILABLE FOR VIEWING ANYTIME SOMEBODY COMES IN TO LOOK AT THEM.
UH, ALL OF THE CONTRACTORS, THE GENERAL CONTRACTORS THAT WE'VE DONE BUSINESS WITH IN THE COUNTY, WE HAVE MADE IT AWARE TO EACH OF THEM, THEY'RE ALL AWARE OF THE CODE.
THEY'RE ALL AWARE OF THE REVISION THAT WE JUST ADOPTED, THE 2018 VERSION.
UH, WE STILL HAVE SOME ISSUES WITH THE SELF, UH, PROJECT LEADERS OR YOU KNOW, SELF CONTRACTORS THAT, UM, BELIEVE THAT THEY CAN DO IT.
AND FOR THE MOST PART THEY CAN, THE SMALLER PROJECTS, IT'S, IT'S NOT THAT COMPLICATED.
AND IF IT TURNS OUT BEING VERY COMPLEX, YOU KNOW, WE SIT DOWN AND HAVE A PRE SUBMITTAL MEETING WITH THEM TO PROVIDE THEM A LOT MORE INFORMATION
[00:20:01]
AND UH, YOU KNOW, A LOT MORE DETAILED INFORMATION AND THEY HAVE THAT OPTION TO EITHER, YOU KNOW, KIND OF READ AND LEARN THROUGH IT OR THEY WOULD HAVE AN OPTION TO GET A GENERAL CONTRACTOR TO ASSIST THEM IN THEIR PROCESSES OR A FIRE PROTECTION.SO THE MOM AND POP REALLY CAN CONTINUE.
BUT YOU START HAVING EMPLOYEES AND STUFF AND RESPONSIBILITIES AS A BUSINESS OWNER.
I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT, THAT THE CODE THAT WE HAVE ADOPTED DOES ALLOW YOU TO, TO, UH, ASSESS EACH SITUATION INDIVIDUALLY.
IF APPROPRIATE FROM THE RANK AND FILE RECOMMENDATIONS ARE IN THE CODE.
AND WE'VE ALREADY DONE THAT, UH, SINCE THE ADOPTION IN JANUARY.
WE'VE, WE'VE ALREADY HAD ONE BUSINESS WE'VE DONE THAT FOR, SO I'M NOT SURE IF THAT MAKES SENSE.
I'M NOT SURE THIS IS EXACTLY THE PLACE, BUT I THINK I'D JUST BE WORTH MENTIONING THAT, UM, AS WE RECEIVED THE FIRE MARSHAL'S REPORT EVERY MONTH, AND I THINK RANDY, YOU'LL AGREE WITH THIS, THAT THE NUMBER OF INSPECTIONS THAT WE HAVE IN THE COUNTY DUE TO OUR DEVELOPMENT CONTINUES TO ACCELERATE.
SO, AND AGAIN, I DON'T THINK THAT IT'S APPROPRIATE HERE TODAY, BUT I THINK WE OUGHT TO GIVE SOME CONSIDERATION IN THE FUTURE TO, UH, AT LEAST, UH, ASSESSING THE POTENTIAL TO MOVE OUR CODE ENFORCEMENT INSPECTION TO A, A, UM, A NON-SWORN OFFICER, UH, TYPE POSITION.
UH, DO YOU HAVE ANY THOUGHTS ABOUT THAT, RANDY? IS THERE, IS IT ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY FOR A SWORN LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER TO BE THE CODE INSPECTOR? I BELIEVE SO, SIR.
UH, IN A MUNICIPAL SETTING WHERE THE, THE, THE CITY ITSELF GOVERNS THE WATER LINES AND EVERYTHING.
UH, THERE ARE SOME MUNICIPALITIES IN WHICH THE, UH, CODE ENFORCEMENT SIDE OF THINGS, UH, ARE NOT PEACE OFFICERS.
MOST CITIES, I DON'T KNOW OF ANY CHANGES BECOMING MORE SO THAT THEY ARE A CITY OF DUNCANVILLE.
THE CITY OF RICHARDSON, UH, THE CITY OF DALLAS HAS BOTH WITHIN THEIR INSPECTIONS DIVISION.
UH, BUT THE TREND TOWARDS, UH, THE COUNTY SETTING, THE RURAL SETTING IS, IT'S, IT'S ALMOST 100% LAW ENFORCEMENT THAT BECAUSE THEY'RE TASKED WITH BOTH SIDES OF IT DOING BOTH DUTIES AND SMALL OFFICES.
BUT WE'RE CERTAINLY TRENDING AWAY FROM THE RURAL SIDE IN MANY THINGS.
SO, BUT EVEN THE, EVEN HARRIS COUNTY, UH, THEIR INSPECTIONS DIVISION IS ALL LAW ENFORCEMENT.
AND THAT'S, YOU KNOW, THE LARGEST COUNTY IN THE STATE.
THERE'S THOUGHT, I RAISE IT, YOU KNOW, IT HAS A, IT HAS POTENTIAL FOR COST SAVING, SOME OF THOSE OTHER BENEFITS, BUT IT'S NOT FOR DISCUSSION HERE TODAY.
AND IT COMES INTO PLAY AT TIMES WHERE EVEN DURING THAT PROCESS, YOU KNOW, IF THERE'S A REFUSAL ON A IMMEDIATE LIFE THREATENING OR A FIRE POTENTIAL, THEN UH, THEN A PEACE OFFICER HAS TO ENGAGE.
WE'LL CERTAINLY WOULD ALWAYS HAVE A PEACE OFFICER.
YOU KNOW, AS PART OF THAT AS A COMPONENT.
BUT SIR, I'M NOT CONVINCED THAT THAT UH, ROUTINE INSPECTIONS ARE, ARE NECESSARILY THE PURVIEW OF A SWORN OFFICER.
AND I UNDERSTAND WHERE YOU'RE GOING.
MY, MY PROPOSAL ON THE NEXT BUDGET WILL BE FOR A STRICTLY JUST AN INSPECTOR, A CIVILIAN INSPECTOR THAT DOES NOTHING BUT PLAN REVIEWS AND INSPECTIONS THROUGHOUT THE DAY.
AND THEN IF THERE WAS A NEED THAT AROSE, IS SOMETHING QUITE SIMILAR TO WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? ABSOLUTELY.
I WOULD SAY THE COUNTY MONEY, IT WOULD ALSO HELP OUR OFFICE TO BE ABLE TO ACQUIRE THAT PERSON IN A TIMELY MANNER.
WELL, THE POOL OF, YEAH, THE POOL OF POTENTIAL INSPECTOR.
YOU'RE TRYING TO HIRE AN FACULTY, THE POOL OF EMPLOYEES, YOU REQUIRED HIM TO A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER.
THAT POOL GOES FROM A HUNDRED TO FIVE BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT THAT MANY PEOPLE THAT ARE CERTIFIED PEACE OFFICERS.
IT'S ACTUALLY EASY TO FIND ONCE LAW ENFORCEMENT, THE DIFFICULTY WOULD BE TO FIND ONE THAT'S IN LAW ENFORCEMENT THAT ALSO HAS THE INSPECTION AND THE INVESTIGATION SIDE OF THINGS.
WELL IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT JUST STRICTLY SOMEBODY TO DO INSPECTIONS AT CERTAIN, THEY DON'T NEED THAT STUFF AND THERE IS A NEED FOR THAT.
I'LL BE APPROACHING THE COURT AND ITS BUDGET FOR THAT.
SO IF THE COURT'S OKAY WITH THIS, I'LL MAKE, I'LL, I'VE GOT THIS MOTION WRITTEN AND I'LL GO AHEAD AND MAKE THE MOTION.
UM, THE MOTION WOULD BE TO AMEND THE 2020 FIRE CODE TO CREATE A BOARD OR REVIEW PROCESS FOR APPEALS, UH, WITH THE STIPULATION THAT, THAT, THAT, THAT UM, ACTION WOULD INCLUDE THE LANGUAGE THAT IF THE EVENT IN THE EVENT OF A TIE OF THIS COMMITTEE, THEY APPEAL WOULD FAIL IN THE, UH, THE APPLICANT WOULD HAVE THE OPTION OF APPEALING TO THE COMMISSIONER'S COURT.
SO THE SECOND TREE, UH, WE HAVE A SECOND FROM COMMISSIONER PHILLIPS.
[00:25:01]
SAYING AYE.THOSE OPPOSED? NO, MOTION CARRIES.
[10. Chelsea Endicott; Motion to approve Final Plat for Rani Farms Addition.]
STEP.MOTION TO APPROVE FINAL PLAT FOR THE RAINEY FARMS NATION.
UM, SO RAINY FARMS IS A SUBDIVISION THAT WAS PART OF THAT INTO OUR OFFICE.
UM, THE DIVISION WILL TAKE PLACE IN PRECINCT THREE.
THIS DEVELOPMENT IS GOING TO CONSIST OF 10 LOTS.
IT'S GOING TO BE A LITTLE OVER FOUR ACRES EACH FOR THESE 10 LOTS.
UM, THE DEVELOPER RECEIVED APPROVAL FROM ALL OF THE REQUIRED PARTIES WITHIN THE COUNTY, SO YOUR HISTORICAL DEPARTMENT, COUNTY SURVEYOR, COUNTY ENGINEER AND THEN OUR OFFICE FOR OSS BLOOD CLAIM.
THEY ALSO OBTAIN THEIR WILL SERVE LETTERS FROM TRINITY VALLEY IN APRIL SPRINGS.
AND IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY OF THOSE FOR YOU.
QUESTIONS? UH, IS THERE, IF THERE ARE NO QUESTIONS, IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE FINAL PLAN FOR ANY FARMS EDITION? I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE WHERE THAT MOTION FROM COMMISSIONER BARBERS OR SECOND OUT.
THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.
[11. Commissioner Hunt; Discuss/Consider approving project agreement with the City of Oak Ridge.]
NEXT STEP.DISCUSS CONSIDER APPROVING PROJECT AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF OAK RIDGE.
VICE WAS GOING TO REPAIR ABNER ROAD FARM.

LIKE YOU TO ACCEPT THE DEPUTATION.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE PRESENTATION.

UM, I DID Y'ALL ASK ME TO BREAK THIS DOWN AND PRECINCT, UM, I GAVE Y'ALL NEW REPORTS.
UM, THE CLIENT REPORT ARE THE ONES THAT ARE ACTUALLY ACTIVE ON THE PROGRAM AT THIS TIME ARE DURING THIS TIME.
AND THEN THE RAPID REGISTRIES ARE THE ONES THAT APPLIED FOR THE PROGRAM AND YOUR PRECINCT.
DO Y'ALL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT? OKAY.
THESE REPORTS ARE GENERATED RIGHT OUT OF YOUR SOFTWARE APPLICATION.
SO THE UM, THE CLIENT REPORT AND THE RAPID REPORT THAT I JUST DID, UM, I HAVE IT SET UP NOW WHERE IT CAN DO PRECINCTS.
I WENT IN THERE AND ADJUSTED IT WHERE IT CAN DO PRECINCTS AND WHERE THEY'RE COMING FROM.
NOW THAT THE PIE CHART IS ACTUALLY HELP OF CHUCK, HE HELPED ME PUT THAT INTO PLACE.

[00:30:01]
WITH THE INDIGENT AND YOU KNOW HOW WE CAN START CONNECTING A LITTLE BETTER.THAT'S MARCH 17TH, MARCH 17TH WHERE YOU'RE GREEN.
IS THERE ANY WAY WITH YOUR SOFTWARE PROGRAM THERE TO BREAK IT DOWN PER, UH, WITHIN THE PRECINCT WHERE THE AREAS ARE? FOR EXAMPLE, I COULD, YOU KNOW, IF THERE'S MORE THERE IS, AND I DID DISCUSS THAT WITH REBECCA.
UM, DUE TO HIPAA, IT'S PROBABLY, WE DON'T REALLY WANT TO SHOW THE AREAS THAT THEY'RE IN CAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO, ESPECIALLY IF WE HAVE HOME BUYERS WANTING TO COME AND BUY IT MAY HURT THAT AREA.
SO WE DECIDED NOT TO PLACE IT LIKE THAT.
AND THAT'S WHY WE JUST DID THE PIE CHART WITH A PERCENTAGE.
I WAS JUST WONDERING IF WE COULD MAYBE GET WITH THOSE PARTICULAR COMMUNITIES AND SEE IF THERE'S ANY OTHER RESISTANCE.
I MEAN WE POSSIBLY CAN, WE CAN LOOK AT IT A MORE CONCENTRATED EFFORT MAYBE TO HELP OR SOMETHING.
WOULD YOU TELL ME AGAIN, EXPLAIN THE DIFF, WHAT'S THE RAPID REGISTRY? OKAY.
THOSE ARE ONES THAT ARE, HAVE APPLIED FOR THE PROGRAM.

YOU'LL LOOK AT IT, UH, FAR AS NARCOTICS AND THE AMOUNT THAT WE'VE GOT, IT WAS UP BY 110% CASES FILED WAS UP BY 41%.
AND THEN OUR SEARCH WARRANTS WAS UP BY 42%.
UH, THE OTHER ASPECT OF OUR CANINE IN OUR ARREST, THE ARREST WAS UP BY 53%.
EVERYTHING ELSE IS PRETTY, YOU KNOW, SAME IN AREA AND NOT NO BIG CHANGE IN IT.
UH, THEN YOU NOTICE THE HOT CHART FOR DECEMBER AND THEN YOU CAN SEE THE PIE CHART FOR THE WHOLE MONTH OR THE WHOLE YEAR.
AND YOU CAN SEE THE BIG DIFFERENCE IN THAT.
AND OUR BIG ISSUES OF WHERE WE'RE SENDING OUR, UH, MOST OF OUR MONEY, 57% IS, UH, IN HIV IN PATIENTS.
[00:35:02]
YEAH.IF YOU LOOK ON THE SCALE FROM SOUTHERN HEALTH PARTNERS FOR THE WHOLE YEAR, I THINK THE BIG THING, THINGS THAT YOU'LL NOTICE THAT OUR HEALTH PARTNERS DOES IS MENTAL HEALTH.
WE DID 2,700, UH, FOR THE YEAR, UH, THAT, THAT'S, UH, JUST HOW MUCH MENTAL HEALTH IMPACTS OUR JAILS WE'VE ALL TALKED ABOUT BEFORE.
AND THEN YOU CAN SEE BLOOD, UH, BLOOD PRESSURE CHECKS THAT WE ALWAYS HAVE TO DO IN THE JAIL.
UH, AND THEN WHEN WE GET TO OUR SCREENING TV, UH, AS 2,900 THAT WE ALWAYS HAVE TO DO SO YOU CAN SEE THE IMPACT OF OUR MEDICAL AND HOW MUCH THEY ARE DOING AS FAR AS THE FINANCIAL REPORT.
DECEMBER, IT'S PRETTY WELL AS USUAL.
AND THEN YOU CAN SEE FOR THE WHOLE YEAR, 2019, WE DID 433,000, UH, RUNNING THROUGH THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE.
UH, EITHER CIVIL MONEY ORDERS, IMPOUNDS CASH, SSIS OR OTHER AGENCIES, BONDS, UH, SHERIFF, THE, UH, THIS PIE CHART THAT YOU GAVE US SHOWING THE, THE BREAKDOWN ON THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT WE'RE SPENDING.
SO YOU SHOW A 68% OF THE MONEY WE'RE SPENDING IS ON HIV.
IS THAT PHARMACEUTICALS OR IS THAT JUST TOTAL, ARE THESE NUMBERS THAT WERE DRUGS OR ARE THEY JUST, THIS IS JUST DRUGS.
THAT'S, THAT'S JUST FOR DECEMBER.
I MEAN, THE WHOLE YEAR WE'VE, WE'VE DONE 168, WHICH IS 57% OF IT.
DO YOU KNOW IF THAT THE ANYWHERE HIV CASES IS TURNING UP OR DOWN? UH, I'D SAY IT'S, IT'S STILL TRENDING UP.
UH, AND THE BIG THING THAT WE NOTICED IS THERE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT WIND UP GETTING ARRESTED AND WHEN THEY COME IN, UH, MOST OF THEM ARE NOT SEEING DOCTORS AND DOING THAT.
BUT ONCE THEY HAVE THAT DIAGNOSIS, AND W I MEAN, I'M ENTITLED TO GIVE THEM THE SERVICES AND THAT MEDICINE IS ANYWHERE FROM THREE TO $5,000 EVERY MONTH.
AND THEN, UH, WE'VE GOT A GOOD WORKING RELATIONSHIP WITH THE COURT SYSTEM, DA'S OFFICE, AND THESE ARE THE ONES THAT WE BRING TO THE TOP AND TALK TO THEM AND TRY TO MOVE THEM AS FAST AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE THE MAJORITY OF THEM, UH, I'M NOT GOING TO RELEASE SOME BACK IN SOCIETY BECAUSE THEY'RE A DANGER TO THEM, BUT ANY TIME WE CAN WORK WITH THEM AND DO SOMETHING WITH IT, WE TRY TO MOVE IT ALONG.
EVEN IF THEY'RE DIAGNOSED, THEY'RE PROBABLY NOT TAKING MEDICATION WHEN THEY SHOW UP.
SHERIFF DISEASE, WE GET THROUGH THAT.
TOO MANY OF THESE, THESE MEDICAL ISSUES, WHEN THEY LEAVE THE JAIL, DO THEY TRANSITION TO, TO INDIGENT HEALTHCARE AT THAT POINT? ONCE THEY'RE OUT OF THE JAIL, THEY BECOME STATE.
SO WE HAVE WORD FOR EVERYTHING FOR THAT, BUT DUE TO THE FACT THEY DON'T HAVE THEM HAPPEN, MAN, THERE AIN'T NOTHING.
WE, WE DOVE INTO THIS, I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY TIMES WHEN THEY BECOME OUR PRISONER RIGHTS STATEMENT AND THEN, THEN WHAT HAPPENS IS NOTHING.
ISN'T THAT WONDERFUL? SO DESERET, WHAT IS THE, UH, SO THEY, SO ONCE THEY LEAVE THE JLA BUT THEIR MEDICAL CARE IS NOT UP TO US.
AND SO WHAT KIND OF SERVICE DO THEY GET OUT OF THE STATE? DOES THE STATE PROVIDE THEM? THEY HAVE CLINICS AND THEN THE MEDICINE THERE, UM, WE JUST GOT DONE GETTING THEM ONE AND TWO.
THE RYAN WHITE CLINIC IN DALLAS.
UM, APPARENTLY SHE, WHEN SHE WAS OUT IN THE WORLD, SHE DID HAVE SCHEDULED APPOINTMENTS, BUT SHE DID NOT GO.
SO IT'S KIND OF LIKE THEY LEAVE IT UP TO THEM.
THEY DON'T GO, BUT THERE AREN'T OR THERE ARE NO SERVICES FOR THEM IN THE COUNTY.
THEY HAVE, THEY HAVE TO GO TO THE METROPLEX.
AND THAT'S THE BIGGEST THING YOU SEE WHEN YOU TALK TO THEM IS YO, THEY'LL REALIZE THEY DON'T FOLLOW UP WITH OUR SERVICES.
THEY GET OUT, THEY NEVER FOLLOW UP.
ANY QUESTIONS? ANY MORE QUESTIONS? OKAY.
THEN WHAT WE HAVE BEFORE US IS LOOKING FOR A MOTION TO ACCEPT THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE MONTHLY REPORT.
WE HAVE THAT MOTION FROM COMMISSIONER BARBERS OR SECOND.
SECOND, SECOND COMMISSIONER PHILLIPS DISCUSSION.
THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.
[16. Sheriff Beavers; Discuss/Consider approving deputations for Joshua A Thomas as Deputy Sheriff for Kaufman County Sheriff's Department.]
STEP.CONSIDER APPROVING DEPUTIZATION FOR JOSHUA THOMAS AS DEPUTY SHERIFF FOR CALVIN COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT.
I SAID HE HAS BEEN WITH US A LITTLE OVER FOUR YEARS.
HE'S WORKED IN THE JAIL AND WE'VE MOVED HIM THROUGH THE PROCESS OF GETTING CERTIFIED.
SO HE'S A NEWLY LICENSED OFFICER, BUT HE'S BEEN AN OUTSTANDING EMPLOYEE FOR US, SO WE'RE GLAD TO SEE HIS TRANSITION.
UH, SO HE'S JUST A BASIC UH, PEACE OFFICER AND HIS JAILER.
HE SERVED US IN OUR MILITARY SO, BUT A REALLY OUTSTANDING, GREAT EMPLOYEE AND WE'RE EXCITED TO TRANSITION HIM OVER TO THE TROPES UP.
[00:40:01]
US SHOULD BE LOOKING FOR A MOTION TO APPROVE DEPUTIZATION OF JOSHUA THOMAS WAS A DEPUTY SHERIFF.SO MOVE WE HAVE THAT MOTION FROM COMMISSIONER CAGES OR SECOND, SECOND.
SECOND FROM COMMISSIONER BARBER DISCUSSION.
THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING I WAS SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT MOTION CARRIES.
[17. Sheriff Beavers; Discuss/Consider approving the Sheriff's Department 2019 Racial Profiling Report.]
UP, DISCUSS CONSIDER APPROVING SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT 2019 RACIAL PROFILING.WELL I THINK EVERYBODY GOT MY BOOK AND ONCE YOU'VE READ THE LETTER AND WE HAVE NO COMPLAINTS, I THINK THE BIG THING IS I THINK UNDERNEATH THE LAWS YOU READ IT, IT STATES THAT YOU HAVE TO ANALYZE IT AS THE DEPARTMENT HEAD AND WE'VE ANALYZED IT AND THEN THE SUMMARY OF IT, YOU CAN SEE WHERE WE BREAK IT DOWN.
I BREAK IT DOWN A LITTLE MORE THAN MOST PEOPLE.
I BELIEVE IF WE'RE GOING TO COMPARE APPLES TO APPLES, WE GOT TO CONFIGURE A INTERSTATE 20 AND 80 AND ALL THAT.
WE HAVE SO MANY PEOPLE TRAVELING.
SO WE BREAK THEM DOWN TO RESIDENTS AND NON-RESIDENTS.
THAT WAY WHEN WE START COMPARING OUR CENSUS DATA THAT WE HAVE TRUE APPLES TO APPLES, UH, AND YOU NOTICE THAT WE PUT ALL THE CONTACTS, WE HAD A QUITE A FEW CONTACTS IN IT, A LITTLE OVER 5,040 WHEN YOU COMPARE OUR NORMAL CENSUS DATA, AS YOU CAN SEE THAT, UH, EVERYTHING IS AS FAR AS CAUCASIAN, WHITE AND THE 6.9 AFRICAN-AMERICAN 4.6 AND THE HISPANIC AND ASIAN, EVERYTHING PRETTY WELL WORKED OUT GOOD.
UH, AND THEN THE CENSUS DATA, WHEN YOU BREAK IT DOWN, THAT'S WHERE WE TRULY GET TO SEE WHERE, UH, THE SEARCHES FOR RESIDENTS AND YOU CAN SEE THAT, THAT WE'RE TRULY, THERE'S NO BIG DIFFERENCE, UH, BESIDES IN THE CAR FOR THE MALES OR FOR CAUCASIAN IS 12.1 AND
SO IT KIND OF GIVES YOU A BETTER DEAL WITH WHAT WE'RE DEALING WITH.
UH, THE BIG ALSO ASPECT OF THAT.
AS YOU CAN SEE IN OUR SEARCHES, WE BREAK THAT DOWN.
UH, AS YOU CAN SEE THAT, UH, 79% OF THE PEOPLE WE SERVE ARE CAUCASIAN, 16% IS AFRICAN AMERICAN.
AND WE DID NOT GET A COMPLAINT AT ALL THIS LAST YEAR.
UH, IF YOU SEE, I'LL GIVE YOU THE CORRECTION ACTION.
IF ANY OF US NEEDED, THERE WAS NONE, UH, GIVE YOU A COPY OF THE ORIGINAL SENATE BILL 10 74, OUR TRAINING STATUES OF IT, OUR, UH, VIDEO POLICY OR BIAS OR POLICY THAT I HAVE IN CONTACT.
AND THEN I, I DID NOT PUT ALL THE, UH, CENSUS DATA OR THE CONTACT DATA IN Y'ALLS BOOK.
I DIDN'T WANT TO WASTE THE PAPER, BUT I HAVE ONE IF Y'ALL ARE WANTING TO LOOK AT, I'LL BE MORE THAN GLAD TO GET THAT TO YOU.
BUT OVERALL, IT'S A REALLY GOOD REPORT AND I'M PROUD OF EACH AND EVERY ONE OF OUR DEPUTIES.
UH, THEY'RE DOING A REALLY GOOD JOB AND DOCUMENT AND EVERYTHING.
NO, THAT'S, THAT'S THE ONE THING I NOTICED IN THE WHOLE REPORT WAS THAT SHE HAD NO COMPLAINTS.
I SAID, THAT'S, THAT'S PRETTY AMAZING.
MAKE THAT MAIN STOPS AND THAT MANY THINGS AND NOBODY FILES A COMPLAINT.
THAT'S PRETTY EMBRACE IT AS SHERIFF, WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU HAVE A, WHAT HAPPENS TO AN AGENCY THAT HAS A REPORT THAT IS SKEWED, UH, WHERE THE NUMBERS DON'T LOOK GOOD OR YOUR, YOUR, YOUR STOPS OR WHATEVER.
DON'T MATCH UP TO WHAT THE CENSUS IS.
WELL, AND I THINK THE BIG THING YOU'VE GOT TO START BREAKING DOWN BECAUSE WHAT LITTLE DATA WE'VE GOT IS I CAN BREAK DOWN BY OFFICERS.
SO I, IF I DO GET A CLIENT, WE HADN'T HAD ONE IN SEVERAL YEARS, BUT WE DID, UH, I CAN BREAK THAT OFFICER OUT AND WE CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT AREAS ARE WORKING IN AND LOOKED AT THE CENSUS IN THAT AREA TO SEE IF IT IS TRULY, IF WE HAVE A PROBLEM.
UH, AND THAT'S WHAT I WOULD DO IF I, IF I HAD NUMBERS CRUDE, I'D BE STARTING TO LOOK AND SEE WHERE THEY'RE WORKING, WHAT PRECINCT AND KIND OF LOOK AT THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF WHERE THE CENSUS THAT AND WHERE THAT'S BEING STOPPED.
BECAUSE THAT'S THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN TRULY TELL.
WELL, MY QUESTION REALLY IS, ARE THERE CONSEQUENCES, LET'S JUST SAY FOR WHATEVER REASON YOUR DATA IS, UH, IS SKEWED WHERE THERE'S ONE POPULATION THAT'S BEING, UH, STOPPED OUT OF PROPORTION WITH THERE.
SO W WHAT IS THE WHO, WHERE WOULD THE CONSEQUENCES COME FROM? WELL, I THINK THE CONSEQUENCES AND WENT TODAY PROBABLY TELL US REALLY GOOD WOULD BE IN CIVIL COURT.
THERE'S NO AGENCY, THERE'S NO CONSEQUENCE FROM A, FROM AN AGENCY OTHER THAN NO SIR.
I MEAN WE GET PAID FROM LULAC AND EVERYBODY ELSE THAT PULLS COPIES OF OUR REPORTS AND GET IT AND UH, WE'VE BEEN VERY FORTUNATE THAT THE COUNTY, WE USUALLY GET AN A MINUS.
I DON'T THINK THEY EVER GIVE A PLUS.
BUT THAT'S ALL I'LL TAKE A MINUS ANY DAY WITH WHAT WE DO IN OUR REPORT.
CAUSE A BIG THING, I THINK YOU GOT TO ANALYZE IT.
THE WAY THE LAW READS NOW OR THE WAY THEY'VE CHANGED THAT IS YOU GOT TO ANALYZE YOUR DATA.
YOU JUST CAN'T PUT IT OUT THERE.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST YOU TO GENERATE THIS DATA AND PRODUCE THIS REPORT? WELL, IT'S NOT THAT BAD.
I DO THE REPORT BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY, I'M THE ONE THAT'S ULTIMATELY RESPONSIBLE.
SO I WANT TO LOOK AT IT AS IT'S GATHERED.
UH, THE TICKETS, I MEAN WE'VE GOT SECRETARY ENTER TICKETS ALL THE TIME.
SO AS IT COMES ACROSS THERE, UH, YOU KNOW, IT'S LABOR INTENSIVE A LITTLE BIT AS FAR AS JUST ENTERING THE TICKET.
BUT WE ARE LOOKING AT SOUTHERN SOFTWARE.
THEY DO HAVE A UH, TICKET RIDER NOW THAT WE'RE FIXING TO TRY, UH, AND IT WILL HAVE THE DATA.
SO AS THE OFFICER DOES IT, EVERYTHING BEING THERE.
SO I'M HOPING WE CAN GET OUT OF THE DATA ENTRY.
THE REST OF IT IS NOT THAT HARD.
ALL I GOTTA DO IS TAKE THE HARD NUMBERS
[00:45:01]
AND PUNCHES AND ALL THE UH, PROGRAMS THAT I HAVE, UH, GENERATED AND EXHALE AND STUFF LIKE THAT TO PRODUCE THIS REPORT.SO LIKE I SAID, I GOT, I GOT THIS LAST MONDAY.
YOU CAN TELL I PUT THE DATE ON THE LETTER 17TH CAUSE I'VE TAKEN A LITTLE LONGER.
IT DIDN'T TAKE ME THAT LONG REALLY.
SO IT'S NOT THAT HARD, JUST THE DATA ENTRY FOR THE GIRLS ALL THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.
ANY MORE QUESTIONS FROM THE SHERIFF? OKAY, THANK YOU.
OKAY THEN, UH, IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT'S 2019 RACIAL PROFILING REPORT? I'LL MAKE THEM.
WE HAVE THAT MOTION FROM COMMISSIONER PHILLIPS.
THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.
[18. Constable Stephens; Discuss/Consider approving deputation of Christopher Whatley as Deputy Constable for Pet. #3.]
UP, CONSTABLE STEVENS DISCUSSED CONSIDER APPROVING DEPUTIZATION OF CHRISTOPHER WATLEY AS DEPUTY CONSTABLE FOR PRECINCT THREE.WELL AT LEAST BEEN WITH THE COUNTY OR THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE PRECINCT ONE FOR 15, 16 YEARS.
UH, HE'S GOT A BACHELOR'S DEGREE, MASTERPIECE OFFICER, MENTAL HEALTH OFFICER, UH, COURTROOM SECURITY SPECIALIST, BASIC INSTRUCTOR FIREARMS INSTRUCTOR.
HE WAS A INSTRUCTOR AT EASTFIELD POLICE ACADEMY.
HE WAS PART TIME WITH PRECINCT ONE.
I ENDED UP WITH A FULL TIME POSITION.
I WAS GIVEN A POSITION AND STARTED MONDAY.
HE'S ALREADY BEEN THROUGH HR THAT EVERYTHING THAT HE NEEDS TO DO THERE.
SO IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE DEPUTIZATION OF CHRISTOPHER WILDLY IS DEPUTY CONSTABLE FOR WE'RE SAYING THREE.
I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE HAVE THAT MOTION.
COMMISSIONER BARBERS OR SECOND.
SECOND SEVERAL COMMISSIONER CASE DISCUSSION.
THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE, THOSE OPPOSED? NO.
[19. Rebecca Lundberg; Discuss/Consider approving agreement with Justice Benefits, Incorporated to assist and submit claims for state and federal funding reimbursement opportunities.]
REBEKAH LUMBER DISCUSSED.CONSIDER APPROVING THE AGREEMENT WITH JUSTICE BENEFITS INCORPORATED TO ASSIST AND SUBMIT CLAIMS FOR STATE AND FEDERAL FUNDING REIMBURSEMENT OPPORTUNITIES.
JUSTICE BENEFITS IS A CONSULTING GROUP THAT SPECIALIZES IN SEEKING STATE AND FEDERAL FUNDING REIMBURSEMENT OPPORTUNITIES.
AND THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE HAS ACTUALLY WORKED WITH THEM FOR OVER THE LAST 10 YEARS IN REGARDS TO WHAT'S CALLED THE SCAP FUNDING FOLK PROGRAM, WHICH IS STATE ALIEN ASSISTANCE.
SO ANYTIME WE HAVE SOMEONE INCARCERATED THAT'S AN UNAUTHORIZED IMMIGRANT, WE CAN SEEK FUNDING, UM, THAT THROUGH FEDERAL FUNDS FOR THAT.
UM, I THINK THE RATE OF FUNDING IS SOMEWHERE LIKE 23%.
SO, I MEAN, DOES IT COVER ALL OF IT? BUT IT IS A GOOD INITIATIVE TO AT LEAST GET SOME OF THAT FUNDING BACK.
SO WE TALKED WITH SHERIFF'S OFFICE.
CHIEF STONE WAS VERY HAPPY WITH THE COMPANY, BUT THEN WE ALSO SEARCHED AND MADE SURE THAT THERE WASN'T ANYONE ELSE DOING THE SAME THING.
UH, AND THEN THEY CHARGED 20% OF WHATEVER, 22% OF WHAT'S ACTUALLY REIMBURSED.
AND THEN THAT GOES TO MISS MCCLOUD'S OFFICE AND THEN GETS TURNED BACK TO THE DEPARTMENT.
THE SECOND THING IS THERE'S A NEW TYPE OF FEDERAL FUNDING THAT'S AVAILABLE THROUGH TITLE FOUR E THAT'S THE CHILD WELFARE FUNDING.
UM, SO WHY IT'S IMPORTANT TO THE COUNTY IS THAT THE DA'S OFFICE AND THEN AS WELL AS OUR, UM, CPS AD LITEMS ON BEHALF OF THE CHILDREN AND WE CAN SEEK FUNDING REIMBURSED THROUGH THOSE, UH, DIFFERENT POSITIONS.
SO WE'RE GOING TO ALSO INTEGRATE THAT INITIATIVE OVER THE NEXT YEAR.
SO WE'RE ASKING THAT, UM, ON BEHALF OF SHERIFF'S OFFICE AND DA'S OFFICE, THAT YOU GUYS APPROVE AN AGREEMENT WITH THIS CONSULTING GROUP TO DO BOTH OF THOSE FEDERAL FUNDING INITIATIVES.
DO YOU GUYS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? IS THAT THE FUNDING, DOES THAT COME DIRECTLY FROM THE FEDS OR DOES IT PASS THROUGH SOME STATE AGENTS? SOME OF IT DOES GO THROUGH STATE AND THEN BACK TO LOCAL, BUT I'M NOT EXACTLY SURE TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION.
THAT'S PARTIALLY WHAT THE CONSULTANT GROUP DOES FOR US IS THEY YOU SUBMIT THE ENTIRE CLAIM AND THEN FOLLOW THE REIMBURSEMENT THE ENTIRE TIME.
ARE THESE GUYS THEY'RE PROACTIVE REBECCA OR DO WE HAVE TO STICK THEM ON FUNDING? SO THEY'RE PROACTIVE AND THEN THEY HAVE AN ENTIRE TEMPLATE AND SHERIFF MAY KNOW THIS MORE THAN I DO.
UM, BASICALLY THEY JUST ASK US FOR THE DATA AND THEN WE GIVE THEM WHAT THEY NEED AND THEN THEY DO RATE THE ENTIRE CLAIM AND SUBMIT IT ON BEHALF OF US.
AND THEN THEY ALSO LOOK FOR OTHER INITIATIVES AS WELL BECAUSE THAT'S THEIR ENTIRE BUSINESS MODEL.
WE'LL GIVE THEM TO THAT AND THEN THEN WE HAVE TO DO A LITTLE, WE DO A LITTLE BIT OF RESEARCH, SO NUMBERS AND STUFF LIKE THAT, FAR MORE THAN ARRESTED.
BUT OVERALL THEY DO ALL THEIR QUOTES, THEY GET TO SANTOS AND THEN
[00:50:01]
WE GET THE FUNDING ONCE IT COMES TO THIS AND THEN IT'S EARMARKED.IT CAN ONLY BE USED LIKE CERTAIN LEGAL TRAINING.
AND I KNOW SHERIFF'S OFFICE HAS BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL IN USING THAT FOR YOUR, I THINK, TASER COURSE WITHIN THE JAIL.
ANY QUESTIONS FOR REBECCA OR THE SHERIFF? WHAT'S BEFORE US IS LOOKING FOR A MOTION TO APPROVE AGREEMENT WITH JUSTICE BENEFITS INCORPORATED.
WE HAD A MOTION COMMISSIONER CASES OR A SECOND.
SECOND OF COMMISSIONER BARBERED DISCUSSION.
THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.
[20. Deborah Bonner; Discuss/Consider encouraging Elected Officials to designate a chief deputy or first assistant to conduct affairs of the office in the event of a vacancy,]
UP, DEBORAH BONER.CONSIDER ENCOURAGING ELECTED OFFICIALS TO DESIGNATE A CHIEF DEPUTY OR FIRST ASSISTANT TO CONDUCT AFFAIRS OF THE OFFICE IN THE EVENT OF A VACANCY.
AND I WOULD SAY VACANCY MEANING TEMPORARY OR LONGTERM.
SO ACTUALLY A VACANCY IS CREATED IN AN ELECTED OFFICE, UH, DUE TO DEATH, RESIGNATION, ABANDONMENT, ANYTHING, UM, IS WHEN A VACANCY OCCURS.
BUT UNDER THE GOVERNMENT CODE UNDER, UM, SECTION SIX OH ONE, UH, YOU HAVE A PROVISION WHEREBY YOU CAN DESIGNATE ANY ELECTED OFFICIAL OR, UM, CAN DESIGNATE A FIRST SENTENCE OR A CHIEF DEPUTY.
AND IN THE, THE OCCURRENCE OF A VACANCY THAT FIRST ASSISTANT OR CHIEF DEPUTY CAN SERVE YOUR OFFICE OR WHOEVER'S OFFICE UNTIL A SUCCESSOR IS OFFICIALLY APPOINTED.
AND THIS WOULD OBVIOUSLY COME IN HANDY IN A LOT OF SITUATIONS.
SO, UH, THE JUDGE AND I HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS AND THOUGHT THAT IT MIGHT BE SOMETHING TO ENCOURAGE OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS TO DO SO THAT, UM, WE DON'T HAVE ANY HOLES THAT GET LEFT WHENEVER, UH, SOMETHING LIKE THAT SHOULD HAPPEN.
AND I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
YOU MIGHT HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND ON THAT.
THIS ALL CAME ABOUT WITH OUR, WHEN WE HAD THE RESIGNATION TO JP AND THERE WAS NO ONE DESIGNATED TO MANAGE THAT OFFICE.
AND, UH, IT WAS JUST SORT OF LIKE A BLACK HOLE REALLY.
AND SO JIM ALISON IS, I WAS ASKED REACHING OUT TO HIM AND WE TALKED ABOUT IT AND THEN HE SAID, YOU NEED TO GET YOUR CIVILS TO LOOK AT THIS STATUTE.
SO, SO IN THE, IN THE SITUATION WHERE YOU HAVE JP IS YOU'VE GOT A SINGLE OFFICE AND THERE'S NOT ANY REAL DEPUTY, YOUR FIRST ASSISTANT, THEY COULD DESIGNATE EACH OTHER.
JUST, YOU KNOW, HAVE SOMEBODY SPECIFICALLY DESIGNATED, YOU ALL COULD DESIGNATE EACH OTHER OR YOU KNOW, YEAH, SOMEBODY DID DO PAYROLL.
SOMEBODY YOU KNOW, SOMEBODY TO SIGN OFF ON PAYROLL, SIGN OFF ON BILLS AND ALL THAT STUFF.
UM, REBECCA DID COME UP WITH A SEVERAL YEARS AGO THERE WAS A SUCCESSION PLAN THAT SOMEONE HAD PUT TOGETHER FOR SEVERAL OFFICES.
IT WASN'T ALL THE OFFICES IN THE COUNTY, BUT THERE WAS SEVERAL OF THEM THAT APPARENTLY SOMEBODY HAD GONE THROUGH AND PUT TOGETHER.
STEVE WHO HE DOES HAVE AN EMERGENCY OPERATIONS SUCCESSION AND I THINK HE DID CONTACT EACH ELECTED WHENEVER HE DID THAT.
BUT I BELIEVE HE SAID IT WAS IN 2014 MAYBE.
SO THERE'S BEEN A FEW CHANGES THAT ELECTED OFFICE, BUT THEY NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'VE ACTUALLY OFFICIALLY APPOINTED SOMEONE WE NEED TO ESTABLISH, I THINK MAYBE MAYBE MY OFFICE WOULD ESTABLISH SOME SORT OF PROCESS WHERE WE RENEW THAT, THAT WE RENEW THAT EVERY YEAR ASKING ELECTED OFFICIALS TO UPDATE THEIR INFORMATION JUST ON A ROUTINE BASIS.
I BELIEVE STEVE WOULD DEFINITELY APPRECIATE THAT.
THAT WAY HE'S IN COMPLIANCE FOR HIS EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT.
AND SO OUR COMMISSIONER, FOR EXAMPLE, A COMMISSIONER COULD DESIGNATE ANOTHER COMMISSIONER.
HE COULD DESIGNATE, UH, SOMEBODY ON HIS STAFF, RIGHT? YOUR ADVISOR OR HIS WHATEVER.
SOMEONE TO MAKE SURE THAT THINGS DON'T FALL THROUGH THE CRACKS.
SO, REBECCA, WOULD THIS BE IN THE FORM? HOW WOULD THIS, WOULD THIS JUST BE, WHAT IS OUR ACTION? A RESOLUTION? I'D MAKE A RESOLUTION ENCOURAGING I THINK WOULD BE THE APPROPRIATE ACTION.
WHAT'S THE FORM? I MEAN, WHAT'S THE FORMAT FOR THE ASH ACTUAL DESIGNATION? JUST TO A LETTER OR A LETTER OR SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT? I WOULD SAY A LETTER.
A FORMAL LETTER FROM THAT OFFICE DESIGNATING THE PERSON WOULD BE WHO THE JUDGE IS.
THE JOB WILL BE COMMITTEE COMMISSIONER'S COURT AND COPY OF THE COMMISSIONER.
UM, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? YOU KNOW, SOMETHING YOU DON'T REALLY THINK ABOUT, BUT IT WAS A LITTLE BIT, IT WAS A LITTLE BIT OF AN ISSUE.
SO WHAT'S BEFORE US WOULD BE, UH, LOOKING FOR A MOTION TO PASS A RESOLUTION THAT WOULD ENCOURAGE ELECTED OFFICIALS IN KAUFMAN COUNTY TO DESIGNATE A CHIEF DEPUTY OR FIRST ASSISTANT TO CONDUCT FAIRS AT THE OFFICE.
[00:55:02]
IS THERE A MOTION? I'LL MAKE THAT, UH, COMMISSIONER PHILLIPS MAKES THAT MOTION.THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE, THOSE OPPOSED? NO.
[21. Discuss/Consider enrolling County Elected Officials and Employees for the State Mandated Cybersecurity Training Course at no cost to the County provided by Texas Association of Counties.]
NEXT ITEM, WE HAVE NATHAN COLLINS WITH US GOING TO TALK ABOUT ENROLLING COUNTY ELECTED OFFICIALS AND EMPLOYEES FOR THE STATE MANDATED CYBERSECURITY TRAINING COURSE AT NO COST TO THE COUNTY PROVIDED BY TECH.UH, THIS IS, UM, BASICALLY TO, UM, TO UH, APPROVE USING A TAX FREE SERVICE FOR UM, UM, ALLOWING OUR ENTIRE COUNTY, ANYBODY THAT HAS ACCESS TO A, UH, GOVERNMENT COMPUTER SYSTEM OR DATABASE.
SO THAT COVERS EVERYBODY AND EVERY OFFICE, UM, TO COMPLETE THIS COURSE OFFERED BY TAC, UM, WHICH IS DUE JUNE 14TH ANNUALLY.
SO IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THE COURSE? DO YOU WANT ME TO KIND OF SUMMARIZE WHAT I THINK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE, IS THE PROCESS CLEARED UP AS TO HOW THIS PROCESS, SO THIS IS THE FIRST STEP AND I'M ENROLLING IS IMPROVING THAT WE'RE GOING TO USE THIS SPECIFIC, UM, CYBERSECURITY PROGRAM, UM, WHICH IS CERTIFIED BY THE TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF INFORMATION RESOURCES.
UM, AND UH, THE NEXT STEP WOULD BE TO, UH, COMPLETE THIS ENROLLMENT FORM THAT I HAVE PRINTED HERE, UM, WHICH REQUIRES JUST A SIGNATURE FROM EITHER YOU OR ONE OF THE COMMISSIONERS.
AND, UM, WE'LL ALSO HAVE TO, UH, ASSIGN, UH, A COURSE ADMINISTRATOR, UH, WHICH WILL KEEP TRACK OF, UM, EMPLOYEES THAT HAVE STARTED WITH COFFIN COUNTY AND HAVE LEFT.
AND WE KEEP, UM, KEEP TRACK OF EVERYBODY EMPLOYED.
UM, FIRST LAST NAME, TITLE AND THE DEPARTMENT THEY'RE WITH.
AND THEN THIS PERSON WOULD JUST BE, UH, SUBMITTING THE COMPLETED, UM, UH, COURSES, UH, TO THE, UM, TO TECH, WHICH WITHIN, OKAY.
SO ORIGINALLY IT SEEMED LIKE WHEN I MET WITH TAC, THEY WERE SAYING THAT IT WASN'T CLEAR AND THAT WE AT EACH EMPLOYEE MIGHT HAVE TO SUBMIT DIRECTLY TO THE STATE, BUT NOT NOW.
RIGHT NOW THAT'S THEY, THEY CAN SHOW SPOKE TO THEM THIS MORNING AND IT STILL WASN'T COMPLETELY CLEAR.
SO THE FIRST THING IS JUST TO GET THIS COURSE DONE.
UM, YOU KNOW, THEY'LL GET A CERTIFICATE AND THIS ADMINISTRATOR WILL ALSO BE ABLE TO RUN A REPORT, UM, UH, THAT WILL TELL IF THAT PERSON HAS DONE THE TRAINING.
AND, UM, ONCE WE'RE CLEAR ON HOW WE UPLOAD THAT TO DIR, THEN WE'LL DO THAT.
BUT THE STATE AFTER, WHEN THE STATE PASSES LEGISLATION, THEY DIDN'T, BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE A PLAN AS TO HOW THEY WERE ACTUALLY GOING TO IMPLEMENT IT.
SO, AND THEN THEY SAY THAT THEY WANTED ALL OF US IN THE EMAIL THAT I GOT PROBLEMS. THEY SAID THAT THEY WANTED US ALL KIND OF TAKE IT AT THE SAME DAMN, I GUESS THEY WERE GOING TO DO SOMETHING A LITTLE.
NOW WE JUST NEED EVERYBODY TO TERMINATE.
ALL OF US DID IT SAME, SAME BASE, WELL, THE SAME, THE SAME TIME.
UH, THEY DID WANT US TO DO WHAT WE'RE DOING NOW IN STATE.
UH, THEY STATED THAT THEY WANTED TO, UM, UH, CERTIFY OR I'M SORRY, THEY WANTED TO, UH, APPROVE THE ENTIRE COUNTY.
UH, THAT WAY WE'RE NOT DOING, UM, CERTIFIED COURSES FROM DIFFERENT, DIFFERENT PLACES.
SO THIS, THIS HERE IS TO DO, UM, TO ENROLL THE COUNTY TO USE TEXTS FREE ONLINE TRAINING.
I GAVE YOU THE, THE COURSE ITSELF HAS ABOUT 45 MINUTES FOR EACH EMPLOYEE TO DO.
AND, UH, WHEN WE, UH, SUBMIT A SPREADSHEET TO TAC, IT'LL GIVE THEM THEIR EMAIL ADDRESS AND TAC WILL THEN EMAIL EACH INDIVIDUAL LOGIN INFORMATION TO HOW TO GET INTO THE COURSE AND TICKET AND TAKE IT IN A HOUSE.
AND THEY HAVE THE ADMINISTRATORS GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY DOES TAKE THE COURSE.
CHECKS AND BALANCES ON OUR SIDE IS, YES, SIR.
ADMINISTRATOR'S RESPONSIBILITY.
AND WE HAVE NOT, THERE'S A, THERE'S AN IT ADMINISTRATOR THAT KIND OF IS, UM, YOU KNOW, TO KIND OF SMOOTH OVER THE, UH, THE PROCESS.
BUT THERE'S ALSO A, UM, YOU CAN HAVE MULTIPLE
[01:00:01]
COURSE ADMINISTRATORS TO KEEP TRACK OF WHO'S DONE IT AND, UH, KEEP TRACK OF UPLOADING IT.WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO, UH, NATHAN AND, AND THEN WHOEVER HE, WHOEVER IS WORKING ON THIS WITH HIM IS GOING TO HAVE TO COME UP WITH A PLAN FOR HOW WE, UH, RAMP UP OUR INSISTENCE THAT PEOPLE TAKE THIS COURSE BY JUNE, BY THE DUE DATE, UM, BECAUSE IT IS REQUIRED.
AND I WENT TO A VERY FRIGHTENING, UH, SEMINAR A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, JUST A ONE DAY THING ABOUT CYBER SECURITY.
AND, UH, THE, THE GOSPEL SEEKING WAS HIGHLY CREDENTIALED.
UH, IF A FORMER FBI AGENT THAT THIS IS WHAT HE DOES FOR A LIVING, I'LL GIVE YOU TWO LITTLE FACTS.
HE GAVE US 90% OF THE SUCCESSFUL, UH, TAX OR A SUCCESSFUL CYBER SECURITY TAX.
90% OF THEM COME IN THROUGH EMAIL.
THE OTHER STARTLING, HE SAID, AND I GUESS IT'S TRUE, 99% OF THE SUCCESSFUL RANSOMWARE ATTACKS WHERE SOMEBODY ACTUALLY LOCKS UP SOMEBODY'S SYSTEM, 99% OF THE TIME THEY PAY THE RANSOM.
SO THESE ARE THE KINDS OF THINGS THAT WE, I MEAN, IT'S, UH, IT'S NOT, IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN EVENTUALLY TO US MAYBE TO, IT'S HAPPENED HERE.
IT HAPPENED TO THE CITY OF GULF ISLAND, RIGHT? WELL, IT HAPPENED TO THE COUNTY, BUT WE WERE ABLE TO NOT GET, NOT GET OVERWHELMED BY IT, BUT IT'S, IT'S, UH, IT WAS A SCARY, I MEAN, THINK ABOUT NOT HAVING OUR COMPUTER SYSTEMS AVAILABLE AND I DON'T KNOW, YOU KNOW, SOME PLACES THAT EVEN THEIR NINE ONE ONE SYSTEMS, THEY'VE EVEN BEEN COMPROMISED.
SO, UM, SO I GUESS IT'S ANSWERING MY QUESTION IS I REALLY HAVEN'T GOT A CLEAR ANSWER WHO'S GOING TO BE RESPONSIBLE THAT EVERY EMPLOYEE TAKES THIS? BUT WE HAVE THE CHECKS AND BALANCES IN PLACE.
IS IT GOING TO BE, I'D PREFER TO HAVE ONE MYSELF RESPONSIBLE.
IS ALL MY PEOPLE TAKE IT OR IN THE KNOWLEDGE WAS OFFICE AUDITOR OR, SO THE WAY THEY HAVE THIS SETUP IS, I'M SORRY, THE WAY THEY HAVE THIS SETUP IS THERE'S A COURSE ADMINISTRATOR WHO KIND OF DIED THE STEREOTYPICALLY, RIGHT? THEY KNOW, OF COURSE THE ADMINISTRATOR WOULD BE HERE AT COUNTY HERE.
AND THEY WOULD PERIODICALLY REACH OUT TO THE DEPARTMENTS TO MAKE SURE, UM, THAT THE, UH, INDIVIDUALS HAVE TAKEN IT.
I SEE THIS AS SORT OF A JOINT EFFORT BETWEEN HR AND THE IT DEPARTMENT.
I HAVEN'T TALKED WITH HR, BUT SEEING THAT THEY ARE ALWAYS THE ONES THAT SEE WHO YOU KNOW, LEAVES THE COMPANY AND WHO STARTS, UH, I, I WOULD THINK THEY WOULD NEED TO BE INVOLVED IN THIS AND THEN I THINK IT'S GOING TO COME DOWN TO THE DEPARTMENT HEADS WILL HAVE TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING SURE THEIR STAFFS ARE, HAVE TAKEN THE TEST.
THE SAME THING GONNA LOG IN AND THEN THE STATE'S GOING TO ISSUE THEM A CERTIFICATE.
SO I MEAN, WELL WE'LL KNOW WHO TO GO.
NO, I MEAN THIS, IT'S GOING TO BE, IT'S GOING TO BE EASY TO TRACK.
SO JUNE 14TH IS THE DATE THAT ALL OF THIS AS JEFF, WELL, ONE THING I MIGHT REACH OUT TO STACK THAT WAS TRYING TO, I'VE GOT 265 IN POLAND AND SLUMP TRYING TO GET SOMEBODY ON JAIL AND TRY TO DO THAT WHEN YOU GET ON PETER.
SO I'M GOING TO TRY TO REACH OUT TO TACK WITH Y'ALL TO SEE IF I CAN GET AN INSTRUCTOR.
HE DIDN'T HAVE A LIFT TO BE ABLE TO SUBMIT THEM.
MY DEPUTIES GOT A COMPUTER ON THAT, BUT TRYING TO DO THAT ON DALTON, MY DEAL'S GOING TO BE REALLY HARD TO GET THAT DONE.
I SAW THE TIME FRAME IN TRAINING.
I JUST ASSUMED SET THEM IN A CLASSROOM AND TEACH THEM.
IT WORKS A LOT BETTER FOR ME, SO I'M GONNA TRY IT.
WELL I THINK THAT'S A DEPARTMENT.
I GUESS THE CHARGE TO THE DEPARTMENT HEADS BY THE COMMISSIONER'S COURT IS THAT ALL OF YOUR PEOPLE THAT HAVE ACTUALLY BY JUNE 14TH EVERY PERSON IN THE COUNTY AND IT WOULD BE BY DEPARTMENT, FIGURE OUT A WAY TO GET IT DONE.
SO IS IT, IS IT EVERYONE IN THE COUNTY OR EVERYONE THAT THAT HAS AN EMAIL ADDRESS OR HAS ACCESS? WHAT I HAVE WRITTEN DOWN HERE, EMPLOYEES WHO HAVE ACCESS TO A LOCAL GOVERNMENT COMPUTER SYSTEM OR DATABASE AND ELECTED OFFICIALS.
YEAH, IT WAS, I WAS SPECIFICALLY TALKING ABOUT, I HAVE ROAD AND BRIDGE GUYS THAT THEY DON'T HAVE A COUNTY EMAIL ADDRESS.
IF THEY DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO THE, TO A CON TO A WHAT THEY DON'T, WE'RE IN OUR HR SYSTEM BUT THEY DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO COMPUTERS.
SO THEY'RE WRITING TO WORRY ABOUT.
RIGHT REBECCA? I THINK ON A TECHNICALITY, YES, THAT'S TRUE.
TAC WOULD PROBABLY ARGUE THAT ANY AND ALL EMPLOYEES THAT COULD EVEN SEE A COMPUTER SHOULD HAVE THE TRAINING.
I HAVE SOME COULDN'T EVEN TURN ON A COMPUTER, BUT IF THAT'S THE CASE I'D HAVE TO AGREE WITH THE SHERIFF.
THEN MAYBE WE OUGHT TO LOOK INTO SOME SORT OF A SITUATION WHERE WE COULD HAVE AN INSTRUCTOR GIVE MY 17 GUYS, YOU KNOW, UH, THE
[01:05:01]
COURSE AND YOU KNOW, ON A RAINY DAY OR SOMETHING.UM, IF THAT, IF THAT'S THE TRUE REQUIREMENT, I THINK AS A DEPARTMENT, I THINK THE DEPARTMENT HEAD WILL HAVE TO MIND THAT DECISION.
THEY DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO A COMPUTER AT ALL.
NO, I DON'T WANT TO GET THAT SET UP.
I'LL BE GLAD SINCE I'VE GOT A TRAINING DIVISION, IF WE CAN DO THAT, I CAN SEND THEM OUT.
AND IF WE WANTED TO COVER A BODY, I'LL BE MORE.
BUT WELL, YOU KNOW, THIS IS KIND OF, IT'S OBVIOUSLY A WORK IN PROCESS.
THE STATE DIDN'T HAVE THE THING WORKED OUT EXACTLY HOW IT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN, BUT JUNE 14TH IS NOT THAT FAR.
IT, IT ALSO MAY BE THAT THERE'S A PRESENTATION THAT YOU CAN GET QUALIFIED TO DO IT.
I MEAN, IT SHOULD BE SHERIFF'S PROBABLY RIGHT.
