FIRST THING IS, UH, IS ROUTINE CORRESPONDENCE.

UH, A COPY OF THIS.

UH, WE DO APPRECIATE THAT.

I GUESS THIS IS ROUTINE CORRESPONDENCE.

IT SEEMS THAT OUR, WE HAVE A COUPLE OF OUR COMMISSIONERS, OUR GRANDPARENTS COMMISSIONER CATES HAS A NEW GRANDSON JUST A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, UH, WE COULD HAVE HAD, AND THAT'S NOT HIS FIRST GRANDCHILD, SO HE'S SORT OF KETTERING COMMISSIONER BARBER.

UH, HIS LIFE HAS TURNED UPSIDE DOWN BECAUSE HE HASN'T, YOU KNOW, LIKE ME, HE AND HIS WIFE RAISED SONS AND NOW THEY HAVE A LITTLE BIT GRANDDAUGHTER AND UH, SHE'S, SHE JUST KIND OF AVERAGES IT ABSOLUTELY PERFECT.

IF YOU DON'T HAVE FIVE MINUTES TO LOOK AT ALL THE PICTURES ON HIS PHONE, HE'S GOING TO OVERWHELM YOU WITH THAT.

ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY ROUTINE CORRESPONDENTS? PRETTY SOON THREE.

WE'RE DOING THE CLEANUP JOE CONVENIENCE STATION.

TWO 87.

WE

[2. CONSENT AGENDA]

UM, WHAT'S YOUR PLEASURE, GENTLEMEN, DO YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT ANY OF THESE PARTICULAR ITEMS WITH YOU HANDLE, THIS IS ONE PRESENTED.

I'LL STEP IN.

SECOND.

COMMISSIONER BARBARA.

DISCUSSION.

THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE, THOSE OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES.

NEXT STEP

[3. George Williford; Consideration and possible action concerning an order authorizing the issuance of "Kaufman County, Texas Unlimited Tax Road Bonds, Series 2020" and enacting provisions incident and related to the issuance of said bonds.]

HER VISION WAS THERE RELATED TO THE ISSUE OF WELL, CAN WE GET A CHAIR? I UNDERSTAND THAT PHRASE BETTER.

DO YOU HAVE COPIES IN MY OFFICE? HERE WE GO.

OKAY.

FOR THE RECORD,

[00:05:01]

UH, I'LL ALSO MENTION THAT, UH, ALSO, UH, IN THE AUDIENCE'S PRESIDENCY TODAY IS DAVID MENDEZ WITH, UH, MAKE YOUR STAFF.

HE IS MY LIFE, NO GOD WHO SERVE AS A BOND COUNSEL TO THE COUNTY AS WELL.

AND, UH, AS YOU RECALL, WE WERE HERE A LITTLE OVER A MONTH OR A MONTH OR SO AGO TO KIND OF REVIEW THE PROCESS WITH REGARD TO THE SALE OF THE FIRST PORTION OF THE ORGANIZATION RECEIVED IN NOVEMBER.

AND SO THE PLAN WAS TO PROCEED WITH ISSUANCE OF 40 MILLION OF THE NOT LIMITED TAX BONDS THAT WERE FOR ROAD PURPOSES WANTING THE, UH, OF THE, UH, LIMITED TAX OR CONSTITUTION TAX BONDS THAT ARE FORM OF FACILITIES PURPOSES TO INITIATE THAT WORK PROJECTS AT LEAST THE DESIGN AND INITIAL CONSTRUCTION.

AND SO WE, UH, PROCEEDED AND THAT WE UH, FIRST, UH, PART OF THE ORGANIZATION WE HELD WRITING DISCUSSIONS, UH, JUDGE RICHARD, UH, KAREN AND JERRY PARTICIPATING AS WELL WITH STANDARD PITCH WRITING THE COUNTY PREVIOUSLY WHEN WE SAW THE ROAD LAWNS OR ANY OTHER ISSUES BY THE COUNTY WITH DEALT ONLY WITH STANDARD FOREST AND UP UNTIL THIS POINT IN TIME WHERE THE H PLUS RATING STANDARD, WELL SAY UPGRADES WITH DOUBLE A MINUS, WHICH WAS VERY SIGNIFICANT.

GETTING INTO THAT LEVEL CATEGORY FIT JUST WAS THE FIRST TIME.

AND THE REASON WE ADDED A SECOND AGENCY WAS A GIVEN, THIS IS 60 MILLION TOTAL AND THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT 104 YEAR PROGRAM.

WE THOUGHT IT WAS BENEFICIAL TO HAVE TWO RATINGS ON THE COUNTY.

AND SO THEY ACTUALLY CAME THROUGH AND ASSIGNED AN OUTRIGHT DOUBLE I WRITING CAUSE COUNTY.

SO, UH, BOTH OF THOSE WERE EXCELLENT WRITINGS.

IT'S VERY SIGNIFICANT THAT THE COUNTY IS NOW IN THE AA CATEGORY.

UH, SO THAT'S GOOD POSITION.

YEAH.

SO ON THE GOT HANDED DOWN RIGHT BEHIND THE CUPBOARD, THERE ARE TWO PAGES, UH, LOOK, VERY SMALL AND EFFICIENT.

DECIDE, UH, LANGUAGE.

THOSE WERE THE FRONT COVERS OF THE ORDINARY OFFICIAL STATEMENTS.

AND UH, WE HAD TO DO TWO BECAUSE, UH, THE ROAD BONDS AND THE SELL THESE BONDS WERE UNDER TWO SEPARATELY, A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT PLACES AND SO ON.

BUT, BUT THESE, UH, LUMINARY OFFICIAL STATEMENTS ARE IN ESSENCE NOT A LACK OF PROSPECTUS AND OTHER SECURITIES OFFERINGS CONTAIN A LOT OF REGULATORY LANGUAGE THAT IS REQUIRED.

THAT IS A VERY REGULATED AND STRICT PROCESS.

THE SEC SHOULD BE IN FRONT OF REVENUE SERVICE WITH REGARD TO THE ISSUE TAX FAT.

AND THEN OF COURSE, STATE LAWS OF THE STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL HAS TO APPROVE AND BE ON BOARD AND ULTIMATELY APPROVE AND RELEASE ANY .

AND SO THOSE DOCUMENTS CONTAIN A LOT OF INFORMATION ABOUT THE COUNTY AS WELL.

TAX PHASE, FINANCIAL OPERATIONS AND SO ON.

UH, AND AS THE JUDGE AND CARROT JURY DEALING WITH WRITING AGENCIES ALSO, IT'S NOT AN INQUISITION, BUT IT'S VERY DEEP.

WELL, LET'S JUST, CAUSE YOU HAD A GUILTY CONSCIENCE.

NO, THEY ASK QUESTIONS AND THEY WANT TO KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT THE COUNTY.

UH, AND BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING TO INVESTMENT IN TOP, LIKE THIS IS HOW WE VIEW AND SEE AND REALLY POSITIONED IN THE COUNTY.

AND LIKE I SAID, WAS AA WRITINGS OF THE ECONOMY, WHAT'S GOING ON, WHY YOU'RE MANAGING YOUR FINANCES AT THE TAX PLACE.

DROVE ALL OF THOSE FACTORS ARE WHAT PLAYED INTO THAT.

UH, THAT'S A LOT OF INFORMATION.

UH, REALLY THE BOTTOM LINE IS YESTERDAY, THE UNDERWRITING GROUP, WHICH WAS COMPOSED OF CITI GROUP AS THE SENIOR MANAGING UNDERWRITER, UH, THEN, UH, RAYMOND JAMES AND FHC.

AND AS THE FILM MANAGERS, UH, THEY HAD BEEN PREMARKED AFTER THEY WENT OUT INTO THE MARKET YESTERDAY, UH, TO OFFER THEM A BOND SO THAT THE, UH, ORDERS DID, THEY FIRMED UP INTEREST RATES, THEY DETERMINED AND SOLIDIFIED.

UH, AND I'LL HAVE TO SAY COUNTY IS ISSUING DATA LITERALLY FROM, FROM THAT STANDPOINT, THE BEST TIME YOU COULD EVER DO IT.

BECAUSE AS OF LAST WEEK, UH, WE HAD INDIC INDICATIVE INTEREST RATE SCALES AND SO ON

[00:10:01]

UH, THEY ACTUALLY, UH, SAID AND OUR UNDERWRITER ADVISED US, CONVERT.

THEY LOWERED THE YIELDS ON EVERY MATURITY BY THREE BASIS POINTS WHEN THEY ACTUALLY WENT OUT OF THE MARKET.

THEN WHEN THE MARKETING AND ORDER PERIOD WAS WRAPPED UP, UH, THE DEMAND PLUS JUST PEOPLE A FLIGHT QUALITY, SO ON, THEY WERE ABLE TO REDUCE BY AND LARGE THE YIELD BY MATERIAL FIVE TO SIX BASIS POINTS.

THE LONGEST BONDS, THEY ACTUALLY REDUCED THE YIELD BY EIGHT BASIS POINTS.

AND SO YESTERDAY, UH, THE, UH, MMD WE CALL IT MARKET DATA IN ALL TIME HISTORIC LOVE.

IT JUST LITERALLY A RATINGS PLUMMETED.

SO YOU'RE SELLING AND UH, YOU KNOW, YOU COULD SAY WITH THE BOTTOM LITERALLY.

SO KEEP IN MIND AT ANY RATE BEHIND WE HAVE INFORMATION, UH, REGARDING, UH, FIRST THE ROADBLOCKS AND JERRY WAS EVEN ASKING ME THIS COMMUNITY TO GO THE FIRST PLACE.

IT'S A SOURCES AND USES.

WHAT'S MOST IMPORTANT TO YOU IS THIS ISSUE WILL PRODUCE THE FULL $40 MILLION.

UH, EVERY DOLLAR THAT WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR PROJECT COSTS, THE COSTS OF ISSUANCE AND SO ON WILL BE COVERED BY A PREMIUM DOLLARS PRODUCED.

YOU MAKE QUESTION, WELL, WHY IS THE ISSUE SIZE ONLY 33.7 MILLION? WE'RE GETTING 40, AND THAT'S OF PREMIUM DOLLARS THAT YOU RECEIVED FROM THE BUYERS.

AND I'LL SHOW YOU GETTING TOO DEEP INTO IT HERE IN JUST A MOMENT.

I BET THAT YOU WILL RECEIVE THE FULL 40, THE EFFECTIVE INTEREST RIGHT ON THIS ISSUE.

2.65, SEVEN.

BASED ON THE PRICING.

YESTERDAY, LIKE I SAID, FRIDAY I PULLED OUT WHAT WE HAD RUN, WE WERE RUNNING AND THIS WAS ON SUPPOSED HIS RIGHTS THEY WERE GOING TO GO OUT WITH YESTERDAY.

IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A TWO 75.

SO THAT OVERALL EFFECT, YOU'RE RIGHT.

IMPROVED 10 BASIS POINTS JUST FRIDAY TO YESTERDAY.

UH, WAIVER PROJECTING COSTS, UH, THIS DEBT WE WERE PROJECTING SIX MONTHS AGO, WE WERE TALKING 3.7 YESTERDAY.

I MEAN, ORIGINALLY WE WERE MODELING IN FOUR 50, AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE STILL DOING WITH ISSUERS THAT ARE TALKING SOMETIME OUT IN THE FUTURE.

AND THEN YOUR WALLS OUT ISSUES, THE ONES THAT WERE BECOMING LATER FROM THE AUTHORIZATION.

WE'RE STILL BEING VERY CONSERVATIVE IN THAT, BUT YOU'RE RIGHT, WITH RESPECT, AS WE GOT CLOSE TO THIS ISSUE, WE SAID, WELL, WE CAN CLOSER TO REAL MARKET.

AND WE THOUGHT, WELL, THREE 75 IS CLOSE ENOUGH TO REAL MARKET.

SO YOU'RE OVER A HUNDRED BASIS POINTS OR 1% BELOW WHAT WE HAD, UH, JUST, UH, AFTER THE ELECTION AND BEFORE THE HOLIDAYS, LET'S USE THAT.

SO, UH, THE, UH, THAT SERVICE FOR THAT ISSUE IS SHOWN ON THE FOLLOWING PAGE.

I JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT ON THE THIRD PAGE BEHIND TAB, THIS IS VERY DETAILED AND SO ON, BUT UH, THIS IS HOW THE PREMIUM DOLLARS COME ABOUT.

WE'LL HAVE COUPON RIGHTS A FOUR AND 5% EVERY MATURITY THAT YOU'LL SEE, RIGHT? UH, IN THE MORE OR LESS MIDDLE, IT SAYS YIELD AND THE YIELDS RAN FROM A 0.912 A 2.08 ON THE LONGEST MATURITY.

AND SO TO RECEIVE THOSE COUPON, UH, LEVEL PAYMENTS BUYERS ACTUALLY PAY A SIGNIFICANT PREMIUM WHEN THEY BUY.

SO THAT'S WHERE THAT 6.6 MILLION OF PREMIUM PRODUCTION CAME ABOUT AND THE COUNTY RECEIVES THAT AND IT SERVES TO DOWNSIDES.

THE ISSUE REQUIRED ISSUE SIZE BEHIND THAT TOO IS LITERALLY THE SAME INFORMATION FOR THE FACILITY FOR LIMITED TAX BONDS.

AGAIN, UH, 20 MILLION, YOU'LL RECEIVE EVERY DOLLAR OF THAT EVEN THOUGH THE ISSUE SIZE ITSELF IS 16.9 5 MILLION, FULL 20 FOR A PROJECT COSTS.

AND IN THIS CASE, THE EFFECTIVE INTEREST RATE WAS 2.659.

THEY WERE LITERALLY ON TOP OF EACH OTHER BECAUSE THEY BOTH HAVE THE SAME TERM AND JUST HAD SLIGHT VARIATION IN THE PRINCIPAL MATURITIES WHICH CAUSES THAT THIRD DECIMAL VARIATION.

UH, BEHIND TAB FOUR.

I'LL JUST SAY THOSE WERE THE WRITING REPORTS.

YOU CAN READ THOSE AT YOUR LEISURE.

BUT BEHIND TAB THREE IS THE MARKETING INFORMATION I THINK YOU'LL FIND INTERESTING.

THE FIRST IS A CHART OF THE BOND BUYER INDEX.

THAT'S

[00:15:01]

LAST WEEK WAS LEAVE LITERALLY ALL TIME LOW, 2.4, 6%, UH, FOR THAT.

UH, AND AGAIN, THAT'S 20 YEARS THAT YOU'RE 25.

AND SO, UH, THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE THAT YOU HAD TWO 65, TWO 46, BUT IF YOU'LL TURN TO THE FOLLOWING PAGE, THIS IS THAT SAME BOND BAR INDEX AND YOU CAN SEE HOW, UH, SINCE POST IN 19 INTEREST RATES, UH, COMING INTO THIS YEAR HAVE LITERALLY JUST PLUMMETED, LIKE DROP KINDA CAME BACK UP IN THE LAST WEEK AND A HALF HAS DROPPED AGAIN.

AND THE NEXT CHART IS LIKE A MENTIONED THE MUNICIPAL BOND OR MUNICIPAL DATA 20 YEAR INDEX.

AND AGAIN, IT SHOWS JUST THAT, UH, DECLINE AS WELL.

SO LIKE I SAID, THE MARKET CONDITIONS AT ALL TIMES.

THAT'S UH, AND DAVID IS HERE TO ANSWER ANYTHING WITH RESPECT TO THE LEGAL AUTHORIZATION AND APPROVAL OF SALE.

UH, YOU'VE GOT TWO ITEMS. UH, WE REVIEWED BOTH OF THEM, BUT THEY NEED TO BE TAKEN UP INDIVIDUALLY.

AND UH, AS SOON AS UH, UH, AT THE PLEASURE OF THE COURT, THESE ARE APPROVED, THEN WE'LL NOTIFY THE UNDERWRITERS THAT, UH, UH, APPROVAL'S BEEN GIVEN LIKE AN EXCELLENT FOR MY ORDERS, DAVID.

THEN WE'LL SEND DOCUMENTS, THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE.

WE ALLOW ABOUT 30 DAYS FOR THEM TO REVIEW, APPROVE AND RELEASE THE BONDS.

CLOSE THAT AS IT STANDS, WE HAVE TARGETED MARCH 25TH BE THE CLOSING DATE AND THAT'S THE DAY WHEN THE COUNTY LITERALLY WILL GET $60 MILLION.

I KNOW YOU'VE WORKED HARD ON THE NUANCES OF THIS LANGUAGE AND ALSO, YES, SIR.

JUDGE.

GOOD MORNING, COMMISSIONER.

UH, YOU HAVE TWO ORDERS BEFORE YOU, ONE FOR THE SERIES.

20.

20.

ARE A SEPARATE ORDER FOR THE FACILITIES, UH, AND ACTIONS REQUIRED ON EACH OF THOSE.

WE HAVE ONE CONTRACT THAT COVERS BOTH OF THESE.

ONE PURCHASE AGREEMENT FROM THE, FROM THE UNDERWRITING TEAM, BUT THE ORDER, UH, THE ORDERS WHEN BOTH THE PURDUE WOULD AUTHORIZE THE OFFICIALS HERE AT THE COUNTY, THE JUDGE, UH, THE COUNTY CLERK, THE TREASURER TO EXECUTE THE VARIOUS DOCUMENTS THAT ARE REQUIRED, INCLUDING THE PURCHASER, AUTHORIZES US TO GO TAKE THESE TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL TO OBTAIN THEIR, UH, APPROVING OPINIONS ON BOTH ISSUES.

APPROXIMATELY 30 DAYS FROM TODAY, WE DELIVER, UH, THE CLOSING WOULD BE HELD AT WHICH THE PURCHASES WOULD DELIVER THE FUNDS, WE'D DELIVER THE BONDS TO THEM AND THEN THE FUNDS WOULD BE AVAILABLE TO REPORT FOR DEPOSITED YOUR CONSTRUCTION FUND.

FROM THAT POINT FORWARD, YOU ALL PROCEED AS YOU MAY WISH WAS THERE.

BUT FOR TODAY, WHAT WE'RE DEALING WITH BASICALLY IS THE APPROVAL OF THE OFFER OR THE ACCEPTANCE OF AN OFFER FROM THE PURCHASERS OF THESE, UH, THIS WORK RIGHTS.

AND CONGRATULATIONS ON THOSE.

I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING QUITE LIKE THAT, BUT, UH, UH, AGAIN, UH, JUST THE LUCK OF THE MARKET I GUESS ON THAT DAY, BUT ALSO YOUR TREMENDOUS RATING.

SO AGAIN, UNLESS THERE ARE QUESTIONS, EACH OF THE ITEMS WITH EMOTION IN SECOND AND BE TAKEN UP AND CONSIDERED BY THE REPORT AND THE UNION REQUIRES, UH, YOU KNOW, FOR, UH, FOR THREE MEMBERS OF THE CONDITIONERS FOR ALL OF YOUR PRESENCE.

YEAH.

AND YOU, YOU'VE BEEN VERY HELPFUL TO ME.

AND HE WAS PLAYING THE IMPORTANCE OF THE LANGUAGE WE USE BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF OVERSIGHT OVER THE ATTORNEY GENERAL AS YOU SEE.

SO EMOTION ALONG THESE LINES, WHICH WOULD BE APPROPRIATE MOTION TO AUTHORIZE THE ISSUANCE OF THE UNLIMITED TAX BOND SERIES.

20 PLENTY AND ACCEPTED.

SO.

OKAY.

READY? I'LL JUST, YOU DON'T MIND, I'LL JUST GO AHEAD AND MAKE THE MOTION CAUSE YOU NEED THAT EXACT LENGTH THAT DAVID HAS PROVIDED US.

I MOVED THAT WE TAKE ALL ACTION WORD AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE COUNTY, TEXAS UNLIMITED TAX ROAD PAWNS U S SERIES 2020, AND AN ACTION PROVISIONS INCIDENT RELATED TO THE ISSUANCE OF SAID PAWNS.

THAT'S THE MOTION.

UH, AND WE'VE ALREADY BEEN BRIEFED

[4. George Williford; Consideration and possible action concerning an order authorizing the issuance of "Kaufman County, Texas Limited Tax Bonds, Series 2020A" and enacting provisions incident and related to the issuance of said bonds.]

SO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD ON THE SECOND? NO SIR.

IT IS IDENTICAL IN ITS EFFECT EXCEPT THAT IT IS FOR THE 2028 SERIES AND FOR THE FACILITY SPAWN STAND WOULD ACCOMPLISH THE REST.

HE WANTS TO SELL BOTH PARTS OF THE STRATEGIES.

COMMISSIONER PHILLIPS DISCUSSION.

MOST OF THE FLAVORS SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.

THOSE OPPOSED? NO.

MOTION CARRIES OUT OF SEVEN.

[7. Commissioner Phillips; Discuss/Consider approving request for OSSF variance located at 10950 Linda Circle, Forney TX in Kaufman County Pet. 2.]

AND THEN WE GET ADDED ON

[00:25:04]

INTERESTING LIVE SITE WITH THE TOP PROCESSES JUST TO PROVIDE A LITTLE BIT EARLIER NOTIFICATION.

EXCELLENT.

IF IT WEREN'T IN PLACE, I MIGHT NOTE THAT THIS IS A NEIGHBORHOOD.

I THINK EVERY SINGLE HOUSE UP THERE HAS THIS CAN'T BE SO OFF THE BAT.

AND AGAIN, YOU CAN'T BE ANYTHING ELSE EXCEPT THEY DON'T EVEN OFFER THE TOP OF THE ROOF TOGETHER.

BUT THEY SAID BE TWO DIFFERENT EXCEPT THAT I PERSONALLY DON'T REALLY HAVE A PROPER UPGRADE THING.

SOMEBODY ELSE SO WE'RE ROLLING NOW.

I'M HERE WITH THE ADDITIONAL, THE HOME IN THE FAMILY MEMBERS, THERE WERE A WHOLE REALLY, YOU CAN PASS THESE ALL READY WITH THE DRAWING THAT THEY TURNED INTO US FOR THE MEETING.

IT WASN'T STANDARD REACHED OUT TO HIM.

HE SAID, HE SAID WHEN HE DRAWS UP A SYSTEM DID YOU GO 60 GALLONS PER DAY PER PERSON? THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME, WITH THAT BEING SAID, IT'S GOING TO BE TO ADD ON TO THE SYSTEM WITH THE HALO.

YEAH.

YES MA'AM.

WITH THE REGISTERED, SAME THEORY, WITHDRAWN EVERYTHING NEW.

HE IS STATE LICENSE SO HE WOULD STAND UP AND THEN NEVER INSTALLED OR WOULD DO.

THEY'D HAVE TO GO BY HISTORY.

SO WHEN PEOPLE GO OUT THERE AND MEASURE EVERY FENCE AND MAKE SURE THAT IT CAN HANDLE THE SPRAY FIELDS, SO LIKE PASSED IT ON.

IT WASN'T, IT WASN'T ME, IT WASN'T ME ARM AND ANYBODY AROUND THEM.

IN FACT, THE RNS CAN DEMONSTRATE FEAR IF YOU DON'T PASS THEM UNTIL WE GET THAT DRUM ON YOU IN THE NIT STAND.

I SEE YOU.

THAT'S ROSS.

I'M A LITTLE CONFUSED.

ARE WE SAYING THAT GENDER ADD A SECOND INCREASED CAPACITY LARGER, RIGHT.

OR ONE THAT ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.

ACTUALLY ALL WE NEED IS A REGISTERED SANITARIAN STATE TURNED TO GIVE US A DRAWINGS ON JUST TELLING US THAT THEY APPROVED THIS SCHEME THAT THEY HAVE THAT EVENT.

CORRECT.

WHAT WE NEED IS FOR HIM THE PROBLEM ONE THAT HANDLES THAT.

MAKE SURE THE TURBO PLANTS TOO.

IF THEY'RE NOT COMING BACK AND SAYING, WELL THAT'S NOT WILLING TO DO THAT.

OKAY, I WANT TO KNOW WHERE YOU ARE BECAUSE YOU'RE WILLING TO PUT PERMISSION.

I THINK YOU CAN DO TWO THINGS.

ONE THING.

YOU COULD EITHER MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE WITH THAT CONDITION OR THAT CONDITION ON IT THAT YOU GET HIS APPROVAL BEFORE YOU FINISH THAT AND YOU KNOW I DON'T SAY ALL THE KIDS COMING BACK HERE.

HE'S GOING TO HAVE TO APPROVE IT.

UH, YOU WANT TO OPEN US UP, COMMISSIONER? YEAH.

NOT MUCH CHANGE WITHIN THE RECENT MONTHS WITH JUST A FEW FLUCTUATIONS UP AND DOWN.

IT'S STILL QUITE APPARENT THAT TOWARDS THE BOTTOM WE'RE STILL NOT KIND OF STILL GROWING.

THEY'RE RECEIVING THE NEW PERMITS AND THEN THE MOST NOTABLE IS THE MONTHLY REVENUE.

I BELIEVE THAT WAS THE LARGEST SINGLE MONTH REVENUE IN THE HISTORY OF OUR DEPARTMENT AND IT CONTINUES TO GROW.

ANY QUESTIONS ON ANY OF THIS? NO QUESTION IS, IS THERE A MOTION TO ACCEPT THE FIRE WAS MONTHLY ACTIVITY.

WE HAD EMOTIONAL COMMITMENT.

SECOND DISCUSSION.

I GUESS WE APPROVED THE, THE

[00:40:01]

THAT PERSON.

OKAY.

UH, SO WE DON'T WANT TO ARGUE THAT THE ATTORNEY, UH, IS ABLE TO WANT TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE AT LARGE POSITION AND APPOINTMENTS ARE NEW.

SO MOVE.

OKAY.

MOTION COMMISSIONER CAGE TO ESTABLISH OUR MARCH POSITION FOR OUR GROUND JUST FOR A SECOND.

SECOND DISCUSSION.

THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.

MOTION CARRIES AND TAKE THE REST OF THE WEEK OFF THE ALERT.

WE ALSO HAVE A FORM OF A LITTLE JOKE.

[19. Steve Howie; Discuss/ Consider exercising the County's option to extend our EMS Provider Contract for five additional years provided for in our current contract.]

CONSIDER EXERCISING THE COUNTY'S OPTION TO EXTEND OUR CONTRACT FOR FIVE ADDITIONAL YEARS ON GOOD MORNING.

FIVE YEARS AGO, WE ENTERED INTO A CONTRACT WITH PURE FLAT EMS. AND IN THAT CONTRACT WE HAD THE OPTION OF EXTENDING IT FOR FIVE YEARS.

AND BELIEVE IT OR NOT, IT HAS BEEN FIVE YEARS.

THEY HAVE AN EXEMPLARY RECORD.

THEY HAVE MET EVERYTHING THEY SAID THEY WOULD DO.

THEY STARTED WITH SIX AMBULANCES IN THE CITY OR IN THE COUNTY.

UM, WE'RE NOW UP TO NINE AND ZERO SUBSIDY.

SO IT'S NOT COSTING THE COUNTY ANYTHING.

THIS FIVE YEARS WILL GIVE US AN ADDITIONAL FIVE YEARS AT ZERO SUBSIDY.

UH, AGAIN, WON'T COST THE COUNTY ANYTHING.

UH, FROM EVERYTHING I'VE RECEIVED, THE SERVICE IS EXCELLENT.

HAVE ONLY HAD TWO, TWO COMPLAINTS.

THEY WERE BOTH UNFOUNDED.

UH, SO I WOULD RECOMMEND TO THE COURT THAT WE EXTEND THEIR CONTRACT FOR FIVE YEARS.

QUESTIONS FOR STEVE? I THINK THAT'S EXCELLENT.

THAT WAS ON THE COURT, YOUR HONOR.

YES SIR.

DAVE, WITH THE INCREASED GROWTH AND POPULATION OF THE COUNTY TRYING TO ATTRACT ALSO PROVISIONS TO EXPAND THEIR RESOURCES TO COVER THAT OR IS IT GOING TO STAY THE SAME AS IT DOES? THE CONTRACT IS BASED UPON THE RESPONSE TIME AND THE CEO, JIM SCHWARTZ HAS MADE THE COMMITMENT THAT THEY WILL DO WHATEVER THEY NEED TO TO MEET THOSE RESPONSE TIMES AND WE'VE ALREADY DISCUSSED ADDING ONE AND POSSIBLY TWO MORE FULL TIME UNITS IN THE COUNTY.

SO I AM VERY COMFORTABLE IN SAYING THAT YES THEY WILL DO WHATEVER THEY NEED TO TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT OUR NEEDS ARE MET.

OKAY.

MORE QUESTIONS? IS THERE NO MORE QUESTION? IS THERE A MOTION TO EXERCISE THE COUNTY OPTIONS WITH THE EMS PROVIDER CONTRACT FOR ADDITIONAL FIVE YEARS? I'D MAKE IT LUXURY SO WE GOT AN EMOTIONAL PUNISHMENT.

SAID MEMBERS EVERY YEAR.

NO COMPLAINTS.

OFFICER QUESTION, IF THEY'RE GOING TO QUESTION, IS THERE A MOTION TO ACCEPT THE RACIAL PROFILE? I'LL MAKE THE MOTION TO THE HARBORS.

SECOND DISCUSSION.

MOSTLY CARIES AND I GUESS WE'LL SAY HONOR,

[21. Rebecca Lindberg; Discuss/ Consider approving Funding Resolution for OAG Violence Against Women Justice and Training grant application.]

PINCH HITTING AGAIN AND CHECKING AGAIN.

THIS IS A RENEWAL OF A GRANT THAT WE RECEIVED FROM THE STATE TO FUND OUR UH, VIOLENCE

[00:45:01]

AND SO WE'RE SEEKING APPROVAL FROM THE COURT TO RENEW THAT GRANT POSITION.

AND UH, THE COUNTY JUDGE IS THE PERSON THAT OVERSEES THAT GRANT AND THAT ALL OF THAT LANGUAGE IS IN THERE TO GIVE HIM THE AUTHORITY TO DEAL WITH THAT AND GIVE US ANOTHER YEAR.

AND THAT ALSO IT COMMITS THE COURT TO FUND THE GRANT.

IF FOR SOME REASON THE GOVERNOR WOULD FIND REASON TO IT, WAIT 86,000 SECURITY MONEY.

NO, I GET MAD AS I KNOW.

UH, SO, SO WHAT'S BEFORE US IS TO LOOK FOR A MOTION TO APPROVE FUNDING RESOLUTION FOR THE OFF SEASON ATTORNEY GENERAL, THE VIOLENCE.

I'LL MAKE THAT MOTION AS YOUR SECOND.

SECOND.

WE HAVE THE MOTION COMMISSIONER COMMISSIONER CAGE DISCUSSION PAPER SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.

MOTION CARRIES ALL THE WAY IN THE BACK OF THE ROOM.

COMMS PAYMENT QUARTER

[22. Pam Corder; Discuss/Consider applying for funding through the Office of the Governor, Criminal Justice Division for Immediate First Responders Safety Equipment (Rifle Vest)]

CONSIDER APPLYING FOR FUNDING TO DO OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR, CRIMINAL JUSTICE, THE PATIENT FOR IMMEDIATE FIRST RESPONDERS.

AND YOU PUT IN THE PRIVATE? YES.

THIS IS FOR RAPHAEL BASS.

WE'RE GOING TO BE ASKING FOR 20, RUFFLED THIS 10 FOR THE KSL, EIGHT FOUR CONSTABLES AND TWO FOR THE INVESTIGATORS.

WE APPLIED FOR THIS IN 2018.

AT THAT TIME WE HAD ENOUGH TO COVER OUR, OUR DEPUTIES AND INVESTIGATORS AND CONSTABLES WE'VE INCREASED IN SIZE SO THIS IS ADDING TO IT.

SO THEY OPENED THE GRANT BACK UP OR UH, COMMUNITIES TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS.

UM, WELL WE WILL, WE WILL EXTEND THE, THE UM, THE MONEY'S ONCE FUNDED BY SEPTEMBER.

YEAH.

SO IT'LL BE A FAST TURNAROUND QUESTIONS.

THERE ARE NO QUESTIONS OR A MOTION TO APPROVE OF APPLYING FOR FUNDING.

WE GOT THAT MOTION CONDITIONAL PART WHERE THE SECOND SECOND DISCUSSION I SUPPOSE.

NO, MOTION CARRIES.

THANK YOU.

ALRIGHT, NOW IT'S A SERIES OF

[23. Raylan Smith; Discuss/Consider award of contract for RFQ 20-10: 2019 Kaufman County Bond Program -Professional Design Services - Justice Center]

FIRST THING, CONSIDER AWARD A CONTRACT PROGRAM DESIGN SERVICES AND EVALUATION COMMITTEE MET LAST WEEK.

YOU CAN TELL BY THE SCORING AND THE B COMMITTEE RECOMMEND MOVING FORWARD AND ALLOWING ME TO BEGIN NEGOTIATIONS OR THE ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES OR THE JUSTICE QUESTIONS.

IF THERE ARE NO QUESTIONS, IS THERE A MOTION TO AWARD THE CONTRACT FOR RFQ 20 DASH 10 2019 COUNTY PAWN PROGRAM TO MAKE YOUR CASE? I'LL MAKE THAT MOTION.

WE GOTTA HAVE MOTION.

MR KANE'S SECOND CLOSE.

SECOND COMMISSIONER ARBOR DISCUSSION.

THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING I NO CARRIES.

[24. Raylan Smith: Discuss/Consider award of contract for RFQ 20-11:2019 Kaufman County Bond Program -Professional Design Services - Animal Shelter]

CHRISTY SITUATION THAT WE'RE IN WITH OUR SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENTS, OUR ANIMAL CONTROL GUY.

AGAIN THE EVALUATION COMMITTEE MET ON FEBRUARY 14 AND BASED ON THE SCORING WE ARE RECOMMENDING FORUM AS THE ARCHITECT FOR THIS PROJECT AND JUST WANTED TO NOTE THAT THIS RFQ, I'M ALSO INCLUDED IN NEEDS ASSESSMENTS AND PHASE ONE TO THE NEGOTIATIONS AND TO THEIR CONTRACT WILL BE TO PRESENT TO THE QUESTIONS IF THERE ARE NO QUESTIONS OR WE'LL AWARD CONTRACT COMMISSION ON PHILLIP'S DISCUSSION.

THAT WAS A PIRACY POST.

NO LAST ONE YEAR.

[25. Raylan Smith; Discuss/Consider award of contract for RFP 20-08: Upper East Fork Laterals Watershed Site 11 Repair-TSSWCB]

SO THIS ONE IS A LITTLE MORE COMPLICATED AS FAR AS WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE ACTUAL BID TABULATION.

JUST TO REMIND YOU, THESE

[00:50:01]

THE ORIGINAL CONTRACT AMOUNT WAS AROUND A MILLION DOLLARS.

YOU WILL NOTICE THAT THE LOW BID WAS NOT THE RECOMMENDED CONTRACTOR.

AFTER NEGOTIATING AND GOING BACK OVER THE PROPOSAL WITH THE LOW BIDDER AND ALSO THE PROJECT ENGINEER HIRED BY THE STATE, WE COULD NOT CONFIRM WITH HIM HIS PRICING AND HOW HE LAID OUT HIS STRUCTURE OR THE UM, THE WORK, THE SCOPE OF WORK THAT HE WAS PRESENTING.

SO BASED ON THE PROJECT ENGINEER'S RECOMMENDATION AND ALSO AFTER MEETING WITH LEGAL, WE WANTED TO MOVE TO THE SECOND LOWEST BIDDER.

WE DO BELIEVE THAT THIS WILL BE BEST VALUE FOR THE COUNTY AS WELL AS THE STATE.

THIS WILL BE AN INCREASE IN THE INITIAL CONTRACT THAT WAS SIGNED BY 400,000.

HOWEVER, I DID NOT BRING THIS TO YOU UNTIL AFTER I HAD ALREADY RECEIVED A CONTRACT.

FROM THE STATE.

SO THEY HAVE, THEY ARE GOING TO AWARD US THE ADDITIONAL MONEY.

I'M ON PAPER BECAUSE NOW THE PROJECT IS 1.6 MILLION.

UH, THE COUNTY'S PORTION IS STILL THE 1.75%.

HOWEVER, WE ARE CHARGING BACK TO THE STATE AGAINST THE CONTRACT OR SANTA BECAUSE THIS OFFICE DOES THE ADMINISTRATIVE WORK ON THE CONTRACT, STILL A WASH FOR THE COUNTY.

UM, BUT MY ONLY REQUEST IN THE MOTION IS THAT WE ACCEPT FELLER ENTERPRISES AS THE CONTRACTOR FOR BEST VALUE.

AND ALSO IN SPEAKING INITIAL LOW BITTER.

I AM REQUESTING THAT WE WAIVE THAT BOND, UM, JUST SIMPLY BECAUSE HE WAS VERY EASY TO WORK WITH AND HE ACTUALLY AGREED TO WITHDRAWAL HIS BID INSTEAD OF MOVING FORWARD AND REQUESTING CONTINGENCIES, ET CETERA.

OKAY.

SO WHAT'S THE FOREST WRITER'S RECOMMENDATION? PEOPLE BOARD OR RFP? 2008 TO FILLER ENTERPRISES.

AND WAVE IS BIG WAVE, THE BIG BOND OR UH, SO I'LL JUST ACTUALLY MAKE THAT SECOND SECOND COMMISSIONER DISCUSSION.

THANK YOU FOR SAYING THE FIVE LAST THING.

UH, PERIODS MIXED DISCUSS

[26. Raylan Smith; Discuss/Consider permission to enter into a TexBuy Interlocal Agreement between Kaufman County and Region 16 ESC Statewide Cooperative Purchasing Program]

THERE ARE SEVERAL VENDORS THAT WE'RE HOPING TO TOUCH BASE, BUT PRIOR TO GOING INTO BUDGET PREP, IS THIS LIKE A STANDARD ITU? UM, OUTSIDE OF THE DLR STATE CONTRACTS, THERE ARE NO QUESTIONS.

IS THERE A MOTION TO GRANT OR LOCAL AGREEMENT WITH EMOTIONAL PHILIPS ON A SECOND? MR. HUNT, DISCUSSION IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING, KNOW THAT MOTION CARRIES.
