Sep 08, 2020 Commissioners Court

UH, OKAY, SO ARE Y'ALL READY TO PRESENT NOW? OKAY.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

[Addendum]

AN ACTUAL ASK ON PARTICIPATING WITH THIS.

THIS MORNING, I'VE GOT MARK HERE TO CLICK THE BUTTONS BECAUSE I'M NOT SMART ENOUGH TO DO.

CAN YOU SPEAK INTO THE MICROPHONE? CAUSE, CAUSE IT'S WE'RE ON THE, IS THAT BETTER? YES, SIR.

WELL, I CAN HEAR YOU, BUT THE AUDIO.

PERFECT.

THANK YOU ALL FOR HAVING US.

UM, MR. SLY AND I ARE EXCITED AND WE HAVE MR. HOLDER WITH US AS WELL TO PRESENT THIS TO YOU.

AND I BELIEVE WE'LL BE AT A, UH, UH, FOLLOWING COMMISSIONER'S COURT TO MAKE

[00:05:01]

BUT I KNOW WE'VE HAD A CHANCE TO SPEAK WITH JUDGE RICHARDS AND COMMISSIONER HUNT REGARDING A DEVELOPMENT IN THE CITY OF KAUFFMAN THAT WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT.

AND THEN WE HAVE, UM, FURTHER INFORMATION REGARDING POSSIBLY EXPANDING THAT DEVELOPMENT AND A PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP THAT WOULD INCLUDE THE COUNTY.

WE'VE HAD GOOD LUCK AND GREAT SUCCESS DOING THAT WITH THE COUNTY IN THE PAST IN KAUFMAN.

AND WE HOPE YOU'LL WILL PARTICIPATE AGAIN.

SO WE HAVE THE FIRST ONE QUEUED UP WHERE Y'ALL CAN SEE AT LEAST THE GEOGRAPHIC AREA WE'RE SPEAKING OF.

WE'RE SEEING WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.

SO I JUST WANT EVERYBODY TO LITERALLY BE ON THE SAME PAGE ABOUT WHERE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE FIRST VIDEO THAT WE'LL SHOW IS THE SOUTHERN PART OF THAT, UM, MAP RIGHT THERE.

AND IT WILL BE THE 54 ACRES THAT THE CITY CURRENTLY OWNS THAT WE ARE READY TO.

WE'RE ALMOST READY TO BREAK GROUND ON WHERE THE DEVELOPMENT ON THAT AREA AND THEN WILL BE SHOWING AN ADDITIONAL VIDEO ON THE NORTH PORTION, WHICH IS THE COUNTY'S PROPERTY.

I DON'T THINK WE NEED TO DO A TIRE'S OVERVIEW.

EVERYBODY AT LEAST HAS A, A 30,000 FOOT UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT WITH THE TIRES AND, UM, AND HOW THAT WORKS.

NOW IT IS WORTH POINTING OUT THAT THE INCREMENTAL VALUE OF THIS PROPERTY, IF IT GOES UP, EVEN $1 WILL BE A, AN INCREASE SINCE THIS IS ALL NON-TAXED, UM, CITY, COUNTY, OR STATE OWNED PROPERTY, EVERYTHING INSIDE THAT RED LINE, YOU WANT TO SHOW THE VIDEO OR WHAT'S WHAT'S NEXT.

YOU MIGHT POINT OUT WHAT THAT SMALL TRIANGLE, THE TRIANGLE ON THE TOP IS THE TEXTILE PROPERTY.

EVERYBODY AWARE WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

THAT'S CURRENTLY FOR SALE IN ONE FORM OR ANOTHER.

SO THIS'LL BE THE 54 ACRE DEVELOPMENT THAT THE CITY IS ABOUT.

READY TO GET STARTED WITH SOUND, HOLD ON.

THIS RENDERING IS FLAT FOR CLARITY.

THERE'S A LOT OF TOPOGRAPHY ON THE SITE, WHICH GIVES US SOME NATURAL BEAUTY THAT WE WANT TO PRESERVE.

NO, WE KEPT SOME CONTIGUOUS GREEN BELTS PROJECT AND FOLLOW THE NATURAL AND CONNECTING IT TO VERY MUCH IMPROVED.

WHY IS IT, WHY IS IT A ZERO BANG CITY ON ? I GOT TO TAKE THAT AND OF THE TEXT.

THAT WAS, I JUST DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THAT DOES.

IS THAT PART OF THE WHOLE PAR FORM? EVERYTHING ON THAT SIDE OF TOWN? YEAH, IT WAS LIKE ORIGINALLY 600.

SOMETHING LIKE THAT FOR FARM WENT ALL THE WAY WHERE ONE 75 IS NOW ONE AT ONE POINT IN TIME.

IN FACT, I BLAMED YOUR HOME, THIS SITTING ON THE FORMER.

I'M SURE YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A NUMBER OF QUESTIONS.

Y'ALL WOULD BE SELLING THE PROPERTY, RIGHT? WE ARE CONVEYING IT.

IT WAS POWERFUL THAT YEAH, THEY RAN THERE.

HERE'S THE POWERPOINT.

THEY TOOK A BIT BIT THREW US FOR A LOOP.

WE'LL GET THERE.

ALRIGHT, NOW THAT WE'VE GOT THAT UP AND GOING, THIS WORKS I'M UP.

HOLD UP.

THIS RENDERING IS FLAT FOR CLARITY.

THERE'S A LOT OF TOPOGRAPHY ON THIS SITE, WHICH GIVES US SOME NATURAL BEAUTY THAT WE WANT TO PRESERVE.

WE KEPT SOME CONTIGUOUS GREEN BELTS TO THE WHOLE, THE SITE, AS WELL AS CONNECT OR YEAH.

THAT'S AS MUCH VOLUME AS I HAVE THE RIGHT.

GREAT.

ALTHOUGH THIS RENDERING IS FLAT FOR CLARITY.

THERE'S A LOT OF TOPOGRAPHY ON THIS SITE, WHICH GIVES US SOME NATURAL BEAUTY THAT WE WANT TO PRESERVE.

WE KEPT SOME CONTIGUOUS GREEN BELTS THROUGH THE WHOLE PROJECT THAT FOLLOWED THE NATURAL GRADE, THE SITE, AS WELL AS CONNECTING IT TO VERY MUCH IMPROVED TRAIL ALONG HIGHWAY 34 AND THE EXISTING POWER LINES THAT COME THROUGH THE PROPERTY.

THE TRAILS NOT ONLY COMBINE THE USES OF DEVELOPMENT, BUT CONNECT TO FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS ON THE EAST AND WEST SIDE OF THE PROPERTY.

THIS PROJECT HAS A FEW PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE FEATURES THAT WILL BENEFIT THE SURROUNDING AREA.

ONE OF THE BIGGEST ONES THAT YOU'LL SEE IS THE WATER TOWER, WHICH IS LOCATED IN THE FRONT OF THE STATE OF THE ART INDOOR SPORTS WAS STILL RUNNING.

WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH CITY STAFF TO DETERMINE THE SIZE OF THE TANK, BUT AT LEAST RIGHT NOW, IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S ABOUT 500,000 GALLONS.

WE'VE HAD DISCUSSIONS ABOUT PUTTING THE HIGH SCHOOL'S LOGO ON THE TOWER AND LIGHTING IT AFTER

[00:10:01]

A GAME.

AND LIKE A UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS, OTHER LARGE TICKET IMPROVEMENTS INCLUDE A NEW SANITARY MAIN THAT RUNS ALONG THE NORTH SIDE OF THE PROPERTY WITH A NEW CLIP STATION AND A NEW SLUDGE PARK, WHICH IS LOCATED AT THE HEART OF THE RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT, WHICH INCLUDES TOWNHOUSES, MULTIFAMILY, AND NEIGHBORHOOD RETAIL.

MANY OF THESE AMENITIES ALONG WITH THE PUBLIC RIGHTS AWAY WILL BE DEDICATED TO THE CITY.

WE ARE PLANNING ON BUILDING THIS PROJECT IN THE PHASES SHOWN HERE, PHASE ONE, PHASE TWO, PHASE THREE AND PHASE FOUR, OUTSIDE OF THE NUTS AND BOLTS OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND THE BUILDINGS WE WANTED TO MAKE THIS A PLACE THAT ATTRACTS PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER KAUFFMAN AND THE SURROUNDING AREAS.

WE'RE PAYING SPECIAL ATTENTION TO OPPORTUNITIES FOR PUBLIC ART, PUBLIC AMENITIES AND PLACEMENT AS A DESTINATION, WE FELT LIKE HAVING MEMORABLE BACKDROPS FOR PHOTOS, PARTICULARLY FOR SPORTS TEAMS IS A VERY IMPORTANT ASPECT OF THE PUBLIC SPACE.

THAT'S WHY WE'RE PROPOSING ARTWORK IN FRONT OF BUILDINGS, SUCH AS THE HOTEL AND MEDICAL OFFICE, AS PART OF THE BUILDINGS AND PEPPERED ABOUT THE REST OF THE DEVELOPMENT, INCLUDING A WATER TOWER AND MONUMENT SIGNS.

THE TRAIL SYSTEM ALSO SERVES AS A GREAT WAY TO CONNECT ALL OF THESE COMPONENTS.

WE HAVE OPPORTUNITIES FOR PUBLIC ART HERE, HERE, HERE, AND HERE.

THIS COULD INCLUDE SCULPTURES LANDSCAPE FEATURES AND OTHER BEAUTIFICATION PROJECTS.

WE'RE KICKING AROUND IDEAS.

LIKE LET'S SAY A BASKETBALL TEAM FOR THE HIGH SCHOOL IN FRONT OF THIS BIG PIECE OF SCULPTURE RIGHT HERE AT THE TRAFFIC CIRCLE.

I COULD SEE A NICE BIG WIDE ANGLE SHOT THAT ALSO SHOWS A SHOT OF THE WATER TOWER IN THE BACKGROUND, WHICH HAS AN ALLIANCE OR THINKING ABOUT A VISITING TEAM FOR A VOLLEYBALL EVENT, TAKING A PICTURE UP AGAINST THE BUILDING WITH A BACKDROP THAT SAYS WELCOME TO KAUFMAN, TEXAS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

THE WHOLE CORRIDOR HAS A LOT OF OPPORTUNITY FOR A LACK OF COOL SPACES, BECAUSE WE WANT THIS PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT.

SO BIGGER, CONSISTENT AMENITIES FOR KAUFMAN AND NOT JUST PERIODICALLY EVENTS.

THEN WE SEE THIS DEVELOPMENT AS A CATALYST FOR THE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS HALF OF COFFEE.

WE WANT TO BRING IN VISITORS AND RESIDENTS ALIKE AND SUPPORT THE GROWTH IN THE CITY.

THAT'S THE 54 ACRES THAT THE CITY IS READY TO MOVE FORWARD WITH.

AND I THINK YOU CAN ALL AGREE THAT THE QUALITY OF THAT DEVELOPMENT IS NOT YET, UM, IS THE QUALITY OF THAT DEVELOPMENT IS FANTASTIC.

OBVIOUSLY.

THAT'S WHY WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT IT.

UM, AND CREATING THE SECOND TIRES.

UM, IF ONLY ON THAT 54 ACRES, WE WOULD ASK THE COUNTY TO PARTICIPATE, BUT THAT DEVELOPER WHO WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH FOR QUITE A WHILE TO GET TO THIS POINT, UH, AT SOME POINT ASKED ABOUT THE REST OF THAT PROPERTY, THE COUNTY PROPERTY.

AND WE SAID, WELL, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY IT'S NOT OURS.

SHOW US WHAT YOU CAN DO AND WE'LL TAKE YOU TO THE COUNTY AND SEE IF THEY WOULD BE INTERESTED IN PARTICIPATING AS WELL.

AND BASICALLY WE GAVE THEM A CLEAN SLATE, JUST DREAM BIG.

WHAT COULD YOU DO THERE IF THE COUNTY PARTICIPATED AS WELL, VIRTUALLY THE ONLY INSTRUCTION WE GAVE THEM WAS, UM, AND THEY'RE VERY FAMILIAR WITH POOR FARM AND THE HISTORY OF IT AND THE COUNTY FAIRGROUNDS AND, UH, THE OTHER PIECES OF THE COUNTY PROPERTY THAT COMPRISED THAT CORNER.

WE SAID, MAKE SURE THAT, UM, YOU TAKE INTO ACCOUNT FOR FARM AND DREAM BIG WITH WHAT COULD BE DONE THERE AND MAKE SURE YOU TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE FAIRGROUNDS DREAM BIG ON WHAT YOU COULD DO WITH THE TARS MONEY REGARDING THAT THEY TOOK SOME TIME AND THEIR ARCHITECT CAME BACK WITH THIS.

IF YOU INCLUDED THE REST OF THE COUNTY, KEEP IN MIND, THIS IS JUST THE IDEA ON PAPER.

[00:16:22]

THE FIRST IS, UH, FOR JUDGE RICHARDS AND HIS FELLOW KAUFMAN COUNTY AGGIES THAT LOT, THAT TOWER WILL BE LIT IN GOLD AND BLACK LIGHTS, NOT A, NOT A BURNT ORANGE.

I'VE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE SLEEPING EVER SINCE YOU CAME UP.

THINK OF IT AS A GIANT BONFIRE, NOT AS POWERFUL, THAT'S BETTER.

UH, THAT WAS ONE IDEA THAT WE THINK IS PRETTY NEAT THAT AFTER, AFTER A WIN ON FRIDAY NIGHTS, WE COULD LOCK THE TOWER, BUT FOR THE COUNTY'S PORTIONS, THERE WAS NO VOICEOVER.

SO LET ME POINT A COUPLE OF THINGS OUT.

UM, OBVIOUSLY YOU CAN SEE THE EXPANSION PROPOSED FOR THE FAIRGROUNDS, UM, ON THE, THE FEW MEMBERS OF THE SHOW BOARD AND, AND FAMILIES AND KIDS AND PARENTS WE'VE SPOKE TO THAT ARE INVOLVED HEAVILY IN FFA AND SHOWING ANIMALS.

OBVIOUSLY THEY'RE VERY, VERY EXCITED ABOUT THAT.

ALL OF THESE IMPROVEMENTS WOULD BE MADE POSSIBLE WITH THE INCREMENTAL FUNDING THROUGH THE TOURS.

UM, AND THAT'S NOT TO SAY THAT THERE'S ENOUGH MONEY TO DO EVERYTHING.

THAT'S JUST TO SAY THAT IT WOULD BECOME A, A REALITY IN SOME POINT BEYOND WHAT IT IS TODAY, WHERE YOU HAVE ZERO MONEY TO DO ANY OF THESE IMPROVEMENTS.

THE OTHER YOU'VE NOTICED THE GREENHOUSES THAT WERE SCATTERED ABOUT, AGAIN, JUST AN IDEA ON PAPER, BUT ONE THING THAT THE ARCHITECT KIND OF TOOK THE IDEA AND RAN WITH, CAME FROM HIS WIFE, ACTUALLY, WHO IS A, SHE HAD A DEGREE IN FOOD SCIENCE I BELIEVE.

AND THE IDEA SHE CAME UP WITH WAS TO, SO YOU, YOU KEEP THE IDEA OF THE POOR FARM HISTORY WITH AGRICULTURE AND FARMING.

THERE, YOU BUILD THE, UM, GREENHOUSES.

AND THEN THE CROP THAT SHE DECIDED WAS IDEAL WOULD BE HOPS.

AND THAT'S WHERE THE LITTLE BREWERY CAME IN.

SO THAT'S JUST ONE IDEA.

AND THEN EXPAND ON THAT.

YOU SAW THE, UM, ONSITE HOUSING FOR VETERANS FOR THERAPY.

ONE OF THE IDEAS WAS THAT YOU, YOU USE THAT AS, AS THERAPY WHERE THEY HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO WORK IN THE GREENHOUSES, PROVIDING OR PRODUCING THAT, THAT CROP.

JUST ONE IDEA TIES IN WITH THE, THE HISTORY OF THE POOR FARM AND KEEPS AGRICULTURE PREVALENT IN THAT AREA.

THE OTHER IS THE COUNTY ARE THE BUILDINGS ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THAT, WHICH INCLUDES WHERE COUNTY FACILITIES ARE RIGHT NOW.

AND THE LOWER LEVEL WAS SUGGESTED TO BE, UM, AVAILABLE, TO BE OCCUPIED BY COUNTY OFFICES IF NEEDED.

SO THAT WOULD BE THE, THAT WOULD BE A PORTION OF IT THAT YOU'D NEED TO WORK OUT WITH THE DEVELOPERS, HOW MUCH SQUARE FOOTAGE IS NEEDED, BUT YOU WOULD HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO REPLACE ANY SQUARE FOOTAGE THAT IS, UM, TAKEN AWAY TO BE REPLACED IN THAT.

WHAT ELSE IS WORTH POINTING OUT REAL QUICKLY BEFORE I'M SURE THEY HAVE A HUNDRED QUESTIONS.

OH, THE WALKING TRAIL WOULD GO THROUGH AND GO BY THE VETERANS MEMORIAL.

IT WOULD GO THROUGH THE, UM, POOR FARM.

IT WOULD GO PROBABLY RIGHT BEHIND THE, UM, THE SHOW BARN, WHICH THERE WAS ROOM CARVED OUT FOR AN AMPHITHEATER.

SO THE TRAIL WOULD ENCOMPASS THE DEVELOPMENT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, PLUS THE COUNTY.

AND THEN ON THE VERY SOUTH WEST, PART OF THAT DEVELOPMENT IS WHERE HE WOULD PUT IN LARGER HALF TO ONE EXERCISE, LOTS INSTEAD OF MULTIFAMILY OR TOWNHOMES, WHICH ARE CURRENTLY INCLUDED IN THE, THE 54 ACRES THE CITY'S DEVELOPING.

SO THOSE ARE JUST A FEW I WANTED TO POINT OUT SINCE THERE WAS NO VOICEOVER AND YOU JUST SAW SOME RANDOM BUILDINGS, BUT WE CAN GO THROUGH THE DOLLARS AND CENTS, WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY YOU WANT TO TOUCH ON THAT MIC, BASICALLY WHAT THIS REPRESENTS TERMS. NUMBER TWO, BECAUSE WE'VE INCLUDED ALL OF THAT PROPERTY IS A REAL OPPORTUNITY NOW TO PUT RESOURCES

[00:20:01]

AGAINST THE POOR FARM AND MAKING OR FARM WHAT IT IS THAT, THAT HISTORICAL COMMISSION AS, AS, UH, UH, DREAMED ABOUT FOR YEARS.

UH, AND OBVIOUSLY THE FAIRGROUNDS IS ANOTHER PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT.

AND THAT'S WHAT THE TURNS DOES IS IT PUTS MONEY AGAINST PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS.

THAT'S ALL PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS INSIDE THAT ZONE.

UH, WHAT YOU SAW IN THAT FIRST VIDEO REPRESENTS ABOUT A HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS OF INVESTMENT BY THIS INVESTOR.

HE'S ALREADY, I MEAN, BY THIS DEVELOPER, HE'S ALREADY GOT HIS INVESTORS LINED UP, UH, AND THEY ARE JUST WAITING TO GET IT FINAL PLANTED BEFORE THEY START TURNING DIRT ON THAT 195,000 SQUARE FOOT, UH, INDOOR ATHLETIC FACILITY AS AN ANCHOR AND MOVE, MOVE THROUGH.

WHAT'S THE ARRANGEMENT X DATE.

AND THEY ALL HAVE, I MEAN, DOES ANYBODY HAVE SOME KIND OF CLIENTS FOR THE ARENA WHAT'S GOING TO BE THERE? WE DO THIS YEARS AGO, THIS WAS A DREAM OF A LOCAL RESIDENT HERE WHO PLAYED PROFESSIONAL BASKETBALL, WHO IS AT COACH CURRENTLY WITH THE HIGH SCHOOL AND HAS HIS FINGERS TIED INTO UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS, THE DALLAS MAVERICKS COLLEGE STATION.

UM, AND THE, YOU KNOW, IF YOU LOOK AROUND THE METROPLEX, AAU, BASKETBALL AND VOLLEYBALL, AND ALL OF THOSE YOUTH AT THE LENNOX, THEY TRAVEL, IT GOES EVERYWHERE, YOUTH SPORT, AS WELL AS, UH, ADDITIONAL ATHLETIC FACILITIES FOR THE SCHOOL, THEY HAVE ALREADY TAUGHT MAJOR, MAJOR DISCUSSIONS WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT TO BE ABLE TO USE THOSE FACILITIES DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR.

SO, UH, YEAH, WE WERE VERY EXCITED ABOUT THAT ANCHOR, UH, AND EVERYTHING ELSE FLOWS FROM THAT, OBVIOUSLY.

SO WE'RE, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS AND AS THE MAYOR SAID, THAT'S, THAT'S IMMEDIATE INCREMENT.

IT'S ALL BEEN TAX EXEMPT.

THE BASE VALUE THIS YEAR WHEN THIS OCCURS IS CREATED ON MONDAY NIGHT, UH, IS ZEBRA.

THERE IS NO TAX, UH, REVENUE GENERATED FROM THAT ENTIRE PROPERTY FOR ANY OF THE TAXING JURISDICTIONS.

UH, THAT'S A, THAT'S A REALLY IMPORTANT POINT, MIKE, BECAUSE, UM, SOMETIMES A TIFF RITTER'S TAKE, UH, THEY TAKE A LONG TIME TO BUILD UP A SUBSTANTIAL INCREMENT, PARTICULARLY IF THE PROPERTY IS ALREADY BEING TAXED AT A NON-AG VALUE.

SO THERE'S ONE IS AS A GREAT EXAMPLE, THERE WAS, YOU KNOW, THE WALMART AND ALREADY EXISTED AND THINGS LIKE THAT IN THE KINGSPORT TOURS, UH, IT STARTING TO, TO GROW TENTACLES AND START GENERATING REVENUE FOR THE, FOR THE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS, BUT IT'S ALSO CREATING NEW TAX REVENUE FOR ALL THE TAXING JURISDICTIONS BECAUSE OF THAT, UH, BECAUSE OF THE INCENTIVES THAT THE TERS PROVIDES FOR THESE DEVELOPERS.

BUT THE POINT IS THAT THIS TERM WOULD GO SO MUCH FASTER THAN IT'S TYPICAL.

THAT'S CORRECT.

SO ON THE 22ND, WE'RE GOING TO COME AND ASK YOU TO CONSIDER, UH, PARTICIPATING IN THE TURF PROGRAM, UH, FOR TOURISTS, NUMBER TWO, A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY, UH, IN LIEU OF THE 50% TRADITIONAL PARTICIPATION FOR YOUR OWN.

EM, WE'RE GOING TO ASK FOR 60, UH, AND THE IDEA THERE IS BECAUSE MANY OF THE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS THAT WOULD BE GENERATED AND PAID FOR OUR COUNTY ASSETS, THESE, THESE ARE NOT CITY ASSETS.

SOME OF THEM ARE, YOU KNOW, THE ELEVATED TOWER AND THE SPLASH PAD AND THE PARKS AND THAT KIND OF THING.

BUT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT MAKING ACTUAL IMPROVEMENTS, PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS FOR THE COUNTY AS WELL.

THE SHOW, THE SHOW BARN AND THE POOR FARM, UH, THEY DIDN'T THE VIDEO DIDN'T REALLY SHOW WHAT KIND OF IMPROVEMENTS THERE ARE THAT WOULD BE, BUT THEY'VE GOT THE, THE, UH, HISTORICAL COMMISSION'S MASTER PLAN FOR WHAT THEY WANT TO DO.

UH, AND THOSE ARE ALL PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS AND CAN BE FINANCED WITH TERSE.

SO THEY'RE JUST FINALLY A RESOURCE AVAILABLE TO MAKE THESE DREAMS HAPPEN.

AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE TO INTRODUCE THIS IDEA TO YOU GUYS TODAY.

AND HOPEFULLY THEN ON THE 22ND, WE'LL, WE'LL PRESENT A FORMAL ILA IN A LOCAL AGREEMENT IN WHICH, UH, WE'LL ASK YOU GUYS TO PARTICIPATE FOR ME.

WHAT OF ON THE VIDEO, I GUESS I WAS KIND OF LOST ON WHERE THE PROPERTY WAS, AND MAYBE YOU WEREN'T, I DON'T KNOW, ON THE LENS ON THE PROPERTY, WHEN YOU SAID COUNTY PROPERTY, DOES IT INCORPORATE ALL OF THAT FOR FORUM AIRY? YES.

I COULDN'T TELL BY

[00:25:01]

WHAT IT WAS, UH, IF I GO BACK TO THAT, UH, JUST THE ZONE ITSELF, THAT CHART THAT SHOWS THE ZONE, THIS AREA RIGHT HERE, RIGHT? THE, THIS IS SOUTH WASHINGTON AND SOUTH HOUSTON AND THE BYPASS, RIGHT? SO IN IT IS THE, THE LIBRARY AND THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT AND, AND THE CURRENT SOUTH CAMPUS AND ALL OF THAT GOT IT.

WITH THE POND AND EVERYTHING.

SO WHEN WE WERE INCORPORATING, RIGHT, SO THEY'RE THERE MORE BOTTOMS AS TO THE BOTTOM 54 YEARS, THE TOP PARTS ARE ALL THE REST OF IT IS ALL ACCOUNTING.

WELL, I WAS JUST A LITTLE LOST ON THAT.

SOME OF THAT PART, I CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT AND I KEPT LOOKING AT IT AND I COULDN'T TELL LOOKING AT THIS AND I COULDN'T TELL, BUT THE, UH, AND, AND THE ARENA, WHAT PART OF THE, WHERE'S THAT GOING TO SIT IN THIS, UH, CURRENTLY A LARGER FOOTPRINT, THE SPORTS ARENA.

OH, THE SPORTS ARENA WOULD BE, YEAH.

AND THE POINT, IS THAT GOING TO BE ON THE TEXT? THAT PROPERTY? NO, NO, NO.

THAT'S OKAY.

THAT'S RIGHT, RIGHT HERE.

JUST SOUTH OF THE LAKE.

COMING UP THE HILL KIND OF, OR ON THE BACKSIDE, THAT PINK AREA RIGHT THERE.

THAT MAKES SENSE.

I SEE WHERE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT NOW.

I LIKE THIS DIAGRAM.

I THINK I UNDERSTAND WHERE EVERYTHING IS.

I MEAN, AND WITH THAT BRINGS HOTELS AND RESTAURANTS AND RETAIL AND NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES.

THERE'S MIXED USE FACILITIES THERE.

UH, WE'RE DESPERATE AND, AND WE'RE GAINING GROUND.

DON'T GET ME WRONG.

WE'RE THAT? BUT HAVING DIFFERENT LEVELS OF, UH, RESIDENTIAL OPPORTUNITIES IN THIS COMMUNITY IS VERY IMPORTANT.

UH, BUT NOT, NOT ANY MORE OR LESS IMPORTANT THAN, THAN THE COMMERCIAL COMPONENT OF THAT DEVELOPMENT.

A FEW TIMES, THE SPORTS COMPLEX HERE, PLUS EXPANDING THE RODEO OR ADDING RE ADDING THE RODEO ARENA, EXPANDING THE SHOW GROUNDS.

AND THEN ONE OTHER POTENTIAL POSSIBILITY THAT WE'RE MEETING ABOUT SOON THAT THERE COULD BE SOMETHING GOING ON THAT IS BRINGING OUT OF TOWN, VISITORS, AND MASS TO THIS GENERAL AREA VIRTUALLY EVERY WEEKEND OF THE YEAR.

AND I DON'T HAVE TO EXPLAIN TO YOU HOW MUCH MONEY ROLLS OVER AND OVER WITHIN THE CITY AND WITHIN THE COUNTY, WHEN THAT MANY PEOPLE SHOW UP OR EVENTS LIKE THAT, WE ALL KNOW PEOPLE SPEND RIDICULOUS AMOUNTS OF MONEY ON THEIR KIDS' SPORTS.

SO WITH THIS, WITH THE CONTRIBUTION THAT WE'RE ASKING FROM YOU, AS WELL AS THE CITIES, THE CITY'S CONTRIBUTION TO 75% OF THEIR ONM OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE, JUST LIKE TERS ONE IS, UH, IT WOULD GENERATE A $22 MILLION POT OF CASH FOR PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS, 22 MILLION.

UH, IF THERE'S ANY DEVELOPMENT LIKE IN THAT SECOND VIDEO ON THE COUNTY SIDE, THAT DOESN'T INCLUDE ANY OF THAT.

AND I DON'T THINK IT TAKES A ROCKET SCIENTIST TO FIGURE OUT THE HIGHEST AND BEST USE OF SOME OF THE PROPERTY THAT THE COUNTY OWNS IS WOULDN'T BE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT, RIGHT? UH, IT, IT SHOULD BE THAT HARD CORNER ON SOUTH WASHINGTON AND SOUTH, UH, HOUSTON IS A, YOU KNOW, IT'S A MECCA FOR COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT.

UM, THAT DOESN'T INCLUDE THAT $22 MILLION IN TERS MONEY DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY OF THAT INCREMENTAL VALUE THAT COULD BE DONE IF THE COUNTY HAD THE VISION OF DOING SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAN WHAT'S CURRENTLY THERE.

MR. MAYOR, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I THINK, UH, SO WHAT REALLY, WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO BE ASKING ON THE 22ND IS FOR THE CREATION OF THE TERS, BUT THIS DOESN'T INCLUDE THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN, WHICH WOULD COME AFTER THE TERS IS CREATED WELL.

SO THE DETAILS I'M GOING TO ASK FOR THE CREATION OF THE JURORS DID THE COUNTY, OR THE CITY WILL DO THAT MONDAY NIGHT.

THEY HAVE A COUNCIL MEETING ON MONDAY NIGHT WHERE THEY WILL OKAY.

PARTICIPATION, INCREASE THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN, AND ALL OF THE DETAILS ARE THAT COMES LATER.

THAT'S RIGHT.

ARE YOU ASKING FOR THAT PERCENTAGE OF YES, SIR.

IT'S JUST IN OUR LOCAL AGREEMENTS AND THE WHEEL THAT YOU'LL PARTICIPATE AT WHATEVER LEVEL OF FIXED ON THIS LEVEL AT THAT POINT.

AND, AND JUST LIKE ALL THE OTHER TERMS IS WE'LL CARVE OUT THE ROAD AND BRIDGE AND WE'LL CARVE OUT THAT AND ALL THAT STUFF AND JUST RIGHT.

BUT WE WOULD JUST WANT, WHEN YOU COME BACK AND ASK,

[00:30:01]

YES.

AT THAT POINT, IF THERE'S ANY QUESTION AS TO WHY WE'RE ASKING FOR MORE, I MEAN, I HOPE THAT WHAT WE'VE SHOWN YOU SHOWS WHY WE'RE ASKING HIM.

I KNOW THAT I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S ACTUAL POLICY YOU HAVE AT 50%, OR IF IT'S JUST KIND OF UNDERSTOOD THAT YOU'VE DONE 50% IN THE PAST, BUT I WOULD CHALLENGE THE COUNTY.

IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE, THIS IMPRESSIVE MIKE, THAT YOU'RE NEW, YOU'RE NEW, I'M MEASURING POINT.

IF IT, IF IT, IF IT INCLUDES THIS MUCH VALUE ON PROPERTY THAT STARTED AT ZERO, AND IF IT WAS THIS QUALITY OF A DEVELOPMENT, I'D ENCOURAGE YOU TO DO 60% ANYWHERE DID Y'ALL EVER, IF YOU'RE NOT COMING WELL, THE 60 FEEL FREE TO DO 75.

RIGHT.

I KNOW IN A PREVIOUS MEETING, THE JUDGE, THEY ASKED FOR SOME FIGURES FOR THE ADDITIONAL 10% TO TRY TO JUSTIFY THAT.

AND THAT'D BE ALL W W NO, I'VE BEEN OUT ALL WEEK LONG.

I HAVE NOT PUT A PENCIL TO PAPER.

WE DON'T HAVE THAT FOR YOU FOR WHAT THE 10% DIFFERENCE WILL RECEIVE FOR THE 10%.

AND LIKE I SAID, IN THE MEETING OF THE DAY IS I'VE GOT THAT IN AN EMAIL.

I JUST DON'T HAVE IT UP HERE YET.

AND MY ONLY APPREHENSION TOO IS, IS OF COURSE, ONCE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE KELLY DEVELOPMENT IS JUST PURELY SPECULATION.

AND WE REALLY HADN'T HAD A WHOLE LOT OF INPUT EXCEPT THEY HAD THE MASTER PLAN, EXCUSE ME, FOR THE POOR FARM.

SO ALL THAT HAD TO BE DECIDED BY US, YOU KNOW, IF WE DECIDED TO GO FORWARD WITH THIS WHILE WE WANT TO SEE THERE AND EVERYTHING ELSE, BUT, BUT, UH, I GUESS WHENEVER THE MONEY BECOMES ACCESSIBLE, HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE THE COUNTY TO RECEIVE BENEFITS FROM THIS? I MEAN, IS THE CITY GOING TO TAKE PRECEDENCE TO PAY FOR THE WATER TOWER AND ALL THAT STUFF BEFORE WE HAVE ACCESS TO THE FUNDS? WELL, PART OF THAT HAS TO BE WORKED OUT OR WHAT, THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION.

AND THE ANSWER WILL BE, UH, BECAUSE WE ARE SO MUCH FURTHER AHEAD IN THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS.

I MEAN, THAT, THAT FIRST VIDEO THAT YOU SAW IS NOT CONCEPT ANYMORE.

YOU KNOW, THEY ARE WORKING ON THEIR FINAL PLAT FOR THE INFRASTRUCTURE.

AND AS SOON AS THEY'RE DONE WITH THAT, WE'RE GOING TO CONVEY THAT PROPERTY.

AND THEY'RE GOING TO START DIGGING.

IT'S GOING TO BE THEIR PROPERTY AND START PUTTING THE STREETS AND THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND ALL THAT STUFF IN AND START GOING VERTICAL ON THE SPORTS COMPLEX THAT THEY'VE ALREADY GOT THEIR MONEY IN PLACE.

THEY'RE READY TO ROLL.

WE CAN'T GO QUICK IN IT FOR THEM.

SO OBVIOUSLY I CAN'T PRODUCE, PROVIDE WATER SUPPORT THAT THEY'LL NEED WITHOUT THAT NEW ELEVATED TOWER.

SO THAT'S GOING TO COME BEFORE ANYTHING HAPPENS ON THE COUNTY SIDE, AND THAT'S GOING TO BE ATTACHED, YOU KNOW, THE, THE TERS BOARD THAT YOU'LL BE A MEMBER OF, OR WHOEVER'S SITTING IN THAT SEAT AS THE PRECINCT ONE COMMISSIONER, UM, YOU KNOW, WOULD HAVE A SAY SO ON HOW WE, UH, MANAGE THAT TERS FUND, BUT THAT'LL BE THE FIRST ONE THAT COMES FORWARD IS THAT ELEVATED TOWN.

CAUSE I'VE BEEN TO HAVE THAT SUPPORT, THE WATER NEEDS FOR THAT DEVELOPMENT ON THE REST OF THAT.

I THINK I UNDERSTAND THAT THEY DIDN'T REALLY TELL YOU.

NO, I THINK I UNDERSTAND EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE ASKING.

I KNOW WHAT HE IS ASKING FOR THE ANSWER IS YES, BECAUSE ALL OF THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN BEFORE Y'ALL MOVED.

BASICALLY, EVEN IF Y'ALL MOVED TODAY, THIS STUFF'S FIXING TO HAPPEN.

NOW, THE BETTER WAY TO LOOK AT IT PROBABLY IS YOU HAVE AN IDEA OF THE TOTALITY OF THE CITY OF KAUFFMAN PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS THAT WILL BE INCLUDED.

SO EVERYTHING BEYOND THAT, PARTIALLY IT WOULD BE THE COUNTIES.

WE HAVE TROUBLE WITH SEWER OUT THAT AREA AND EVERYTHING ELSE THAT WE'VE TRIED TO, THE SEWER LINES ARE INACCESSIBLE OR HARD TO GET, TO ACTUALLY LAY MORE LINES.

SO I KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF INFRASTRUCTURE IN THAT AREA THAT WILL BE TAKEN CARE OF WITH THIS FOUR ACRE.

WHAT ARE THE QUESTIONS VIRTUAL QUESTION FOR COMMISSIONER CAKES? I DON'T KNOW IF A TELEPHONE IS OR VIRTUAL OR NOT HEAR HIS VOICE.

I'M UP ON HOT, IF THERE'S NOTHING ELSE, GENTLEMEN, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH.

WE APPRECIATE IT.

THAT WAS OBVIOUSLY FOR DISCUSSION ONLY.

SO WE'LL

[15. Commissioner Cates; Discuss/Consider interlocal agreement and project agreement between Kaufman County and the City of Scurry for miscellaneous road repairs.]

NEXT STEP.

AND I THINK, UH, THE CIVIL, UH, MAYBE REBECCA CAN CARRY THIS OUT AND FOR US AND UNLESS COMMISSIONER IN CASE WANTS TO, BUT IT'S DISCUSSED CONSIDERING LOCAL AGREEMENT AND PROJECT AGREEMENT BETWEEN KAUFMAN COUNTY IN THE CITY OF SCURRY FOR MISCELLANEOUS ROAD REPAIRS, UH, COMMISSIONER KATE'S REBECCA IS PREPARED TO DISCUSS THIS.

UH, MR IS JUST ASKING FOR AN UMBRELLA AGREEMENT TO BE APPROVED AND THEN A PROJECT AGREEMENT NEEDS TO BE A SCURRY SO THAT HE CAN DO GENERAL ROAD WORK, WHICH YOU GUYS ARE VERY FAMILIAR WITH QUESTIONS.

IF THERE ARE NO QUESTIONS, IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE INNER LOCAL AGREEMENT IN PROJECT AGREEMENT? EMOTION? WHERE DID THAT MOTION COMMISSIONER HUNT.

WE HAD THE MOTION ALREADY FROM COMMISSIONING COMMISSIONING.

WE CARE SECOND.

WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND DISCUSSION THOSE IN FAVOR, SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE, I SUPPOSE.

NO, THAT MOTION CARRIES

[16. Commissioner Hunt; Discuss/Consider court order to approve temporary closure of County Road 120.]

NEXT UP.

COMMISSIONER HUNT, DISCUSS CONSIDER COURT ORDER TO APPROVE TEMPORARY CLOSURE OF MANY RACE.

UH, THE FOUR DROP PEOPLE, THE MOTORS, EVERY TIME IT RAINS AND WHATEVER YOU DO TO IT, IT IS DESTROYED.

KENDRA ROAD ONE 20 IS I'VE BEEN HERE NEARLY FOUR YEARS AND I FINALLY DROVE DOWN THE ROAD LAST WEEK.

SO WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO, WE ACTUALLY GOT THE ACCURATE FOOTAGE, YOU KNOW, MEASURING IT ALL OUT, BUT IT'S BOTTOM LAND.

IT'S A ROAD THAT THAT'S A MAJOR CAN BE A MAJOR THOROUGHFARE FOR MY 20 TO TWO 43 AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE.

UH IT'S ON THE BOND.

UH, BUT THIS THING IS, THERE'S REALLY NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE THE ROAD, WHAT IT WAS.

UM, I MEAN IT HAD HOLES THAT YOU COULD BARE YOU GREATER IN.

AND WE FINALLY GOT IN THERE TO KIND OF COVER UP SOME HOLES, BUT THERE'S A REBAR STICKING UP OUT OF THE DARK.

IT'S DANGEROUS.

[00:50:02]

SO WITH THE RAINS WE HAD THE OTHER DAY, I WOULD ALMOST BET MONEY THAT IS, WAS USED QUITE EXTENSIVELY, YOU KNOW, THOSE DAYS OVER THE WEEKEND.

SO, UH, UM, WE'D LIKE TO DO, WE HAVE FOUR PROPERTY OWNERS AND WE WOULD LIKE TO, UH, PUT GATES UP TEMPORARY GATES TO KEEP PEOPLE OUT OF THERE.

UH, THERE'S VIDEOS OF PARTIES THAT THEY HAVE TWO OR THREE O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING, YOU KNOW, IN THE FALL WHEEZERS AND STUFF LIKE THAT USING IT.

SO I JUST THINK IT'S BETTER FOR EVERYBODY.

ALSO WE'VE HAD TROUBLE SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE WITH, UH, UH, GOOGLE MAPS, PEOPLE GETTING DIRECTIONS WHEN I SHUT DOWN.

WE'LL GIVE THOSE DIRECTIONS TO GO THROUGH THERE.

AND WE PUT SIGNS THAT SAYS THAT DON'T COUNT ON YOUR, UH, GPS OR ROAD DIRECTIONS.

THEY'RE NOT RIGHT.

SO, BUT SOMETIMES IT WORKS.

SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T, AND THEN THERE'S EVEN 18 WHEELERS TO TRY TO CUT THROUGH.

AND UH, LUCKILY ALLOW THE RESIDENTS OUT THERE.

IT WILL STOP THE 18 WHEELERS AND SAYING, AND LET THEM KNOW THE FIXING AND MAKE A BIG MISTAKE.

SO WITH THE HAZARDS, THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO HOMES ON THIS STRETCH OF ROAD AT ALL.

IT'S ALL RANCHERS AND THEY CAN HAVE ACCESS AND THEY HAVE THE BIG TRACTORS TO MAKE IT INTO THEIR PROPERTIES.

SO WE HAVE A, WE HAD AN AGREEMENT, WE HAD ALL FOUR PROPERTY OWNERS SIGN IT AND WE JUST LIKE TO PUT UP TEMPORARY GATES AND WE'VE HAD DISCUSSIONS ABOUT EMS AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

YOU KNOW, EMS, THEY CAN'T GO THROUGH THERE, BUT YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT KIND OF EMERGENCY ARE YOU GOING TO HAVE.

BUT SO THEY HAVE SOME TYPE OF ACCESS TO FIRE DEPARTMENT OF DMS, YOU KNOW, BUT I GUESS I HAVE BEEN FOR YEARS AND I FINALLY DROVE, GOT TO DRIVE DOWN AT ONE TIME.

SO IT'S HOW BAD THE ROAD IS.

I LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE PUT UP TEMPORARY CLOSURES ON EITHER HAND.

I'M GOING TO CALL ON DEB BONNER TO THIS IS A DISCUSS CONSIDER CHANGES TO THE KAUFMAN COUNTY HUMAN RESOURCE POLICY.

WE HAVE MOTION OF COMMISSIONER HUNT TO, UH, ISSUE A TEMPORARY CLOSURE ORDER ON COUNTY ROAD.

ONE 20 IS OUR SECOND, SECOND, SECOND WITH COMMISSIONER PHILLIPS DISCUSSION THOSE IN FAVOR, SIGNIFY BY SAYING, AYE, THOSE OPPOSED, NO, THAT MOTION CARRIES ITEM 17.

[17. Judge Richards; Discuss/Consider changes to the Kaufman County Human Resource Policy.]

GOOD MORNING.

SO WHAT WE'VE DONE IS BASED ON RECENT EVENTS, GOING BACK TO, YOU KNOW, MARCH OR SO, AND WE'VE MADE A FEW CHANGES TO THE HR POLICY JUST TO MAKE IT VERY CLEAR THAT WE EXPECT EMPLOYEES TO BE AT THE OFFICE.

WORKING, UM, DEPARTMENT HEADS WILL HAVE, YOU KNOW, THEIR ABILITY TO DO WHAT THEY NEED TO DO, BUT JUST WE'VE MADE A SERIES OF CHANGES JUST TO MAKE IT CLEAR THAT THEIR PEOPLE ARE EXPECTED TO BE AT WORK IN THE OFFICE AND, UH, TO, UH, BE RESPONSIVE IF THEY'RE NOT AND HELPFUL WITH THEIR FELLOW EMPLOYEES.

UH, OKAY.

QUESTIONS, IF THERE ARE NO QUESTIONS OR IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE CHANGES AS PRESENTED TO THE KAUFMAN COUNTY HUMAN RESOURCE POLICY? I'LL MAKE THAT MOTION.

WE HAVE MOTION FROM COMMISSIONER PHILLIPS.

IS THERE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND SEGMENT COMMISSIONER BARBARA DISCUSSION THOSE IN FAVOR, SIGNIFY BY SAYING, AYE, THOSE OPPOSED? NO, THAT MOTION CARRIES A

[18. Judge Richards; Discuss/Consider Human Resource operations.]

NEXT STEP.

AND I MIGHT ASK DEB TO STICK HERE CAUSE SHE'S PRETTY FAMILIAR WITH THE CURRENT SITUATION.

THIS IS DISCUSSED, CONSIDER HUMAN RESOURCE OPERATIONS.

OUR CURRENT SITUATION, HR IS STABLE.

THERE'S BRITTANY OUT THERE.

UH, BRITTANY AND CHRISTINE ARE, ARE DOING A GOOD JOB.

UM, MY SUGGESTION WOULD BE THAT WE ASK WHEN ALL I ASKED LAST WEEK, I ASKED, UH, DEB AND JERRY, IF THEY WOULD MAKE THEMSELVES AVAILABLE TO BRITTANY AND CHRISTINA FOR ANY THING THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.

AND I MEAN, UH, AND DEB IN PARTICULAR HAS BEEN PRETTY INVOLVED WITH THEM, I THINK.

UM, AND MY SUGGESTION WOULD BE THAT WE ASK DEB TO REVIEW THE, THE JOB DESCRIPTION AND GET US, UH, SPOOLED UP SO THAT WE COULD POSSIBLY, UH, POST THIS.

WE COULD VOTE TO POST THIS JOB, UM, IN COMMISSIONER'S COURT AT OUR NEXT MEETING.

SO HAVE THAT'S ALL I HAD.

THAT'S WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY ABOUT THE OPERATION.

DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD TO THAT? I WOULD JUST SAY THAT I THINK, UM, BRITTANY AND CHRISTINA HAVE THINGS WELL IN HAND.

UM, I'VE HELPED THEM WITH A FEW PROJECTS.

WE'RE LOOKING AT SOME OTHERS TRYING TO KEEP THINGS ON TRACK, KEEP THINGS MOVING.

SO CAUSE WE GOT OPEN ENROLLMENT GOING AND THE EVERGREEN, UH, SALARY SURVEY GOING AND SOME OTHER THINGS THAT WE'VE FOUND THAT NEED TO BE JUST MOVED ALONG.

UM, BUT

[00:55:01]

I THINK THEY'VE DONE A GREAT JOB AND I THINK THEY'VE GOT THINGS REALLY IN HAND AND, OR, UH, ASKING QUESTIONS FOR HELP OR ASKING FOR HELP WHEN THEY NEED IT.

SO I GUESS THE ONLY CONSIDERATION, I DON'T REALLY THINK THERE'S NECESSARILY.

I PUT THIS ON AS A DISCUSSING CONSIDER.

I THINK THE CONSIDERATION WOULD PROBABLY BE FOR OUR NEXT COMMISSIONER'S COURT MEETING, UH, TO POST THE, TO POST THE JOB AND UPDATE THE, MAKE SURE THAT THE JOB DESCRIPTION IS APPROPRIATE.

SO I WOULD ACTUALLY PROPOSE THAT WE JUST PASS THIS ITEM AND NOT VOTE ON IT UNLESS SOMEBODY ELSE HAS ANY, UNLESS SHE'S SOMEBODY WHO WANTS TO CALL A MOTION.

BRITTANY, DID YOU HAVE ANYTHING YOU WANTED TO THROW IT OUT? GIVE IT TO THE NEXT POST.

W W W W W WITH DEBBIE OFTEN REVIEW THE JOB DESCRIPTION AND THEN WE'LL PLAN TO POST IT.

WHAT PLAN TO POST, WHAT PLANNED TO THE COMMISSIONER'S COURT TAKE ACTION TO POST THAT JOB AT OUR NEXT COMMISSIONER'S COURT MEETING.

DID WE, DO WE HAVE TO HAVE THE COMMISSIONERS OKAY.

POSTING? I DON'T THINK SO, BUT WE PROBABLY WOULD HAVE TO HAVE THE COMMISSIONERS APPROVE A CHANGE IN THE JOB DESCRIPTION, THE JOB DESCRIPTION CHANGES.

I DON'T KNOW, BUT I MEAN, IF YOU LEAVE THE JOB DESCRIPTION ALONE, I MEAN, IF WE'VE MAKE AN DECISION, WHENEVER YOU LOOK AT IT, I HAVE THE SAME AS APPROPRIATE THING.

CAN WE JUST GO AHEAD AND EXPEDITE IN CODE AND GET IT POSTED? I MEAN, I THINK WE CAN, IF WE'RE NOT GOING TO CHANGE THE JOB, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, IF THERE'S SOME TYPE OF MAJOR CHANGES OR SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT, THEN I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, BUT IF IT'S NOT, I MEAN, DO YOU THINK WE NEED TO APPROVE THE JOB DESCRIPTION CHANGE? NO.

THAT'S A DEPARTMENTAL LEVEL OF FUNCTION, SO YEAH.

SO ARE YOU, DO YOU WANT TO JUST GO AHEAD AND TAKE ACTION TO POST? I JUST THINK THAT THE LONGER, I MEAN, I'M CONFIDENT THAT THE PEOPLE THAT ARE DOING THE JOB ARE GOING TO DO THE JOB WELL, BECAUSE THEY'VE LIVED THROUGH THIS BEFORE THE NIGHTMARE OF SIGN EVERYBODY UP FOR INSURANCE STUFF.

SO I THINK IT'S GOING TO OPERATE.

BUT I THINK THE FASTER THAT WE IS SOMEONE IN AND THEN THE BETTER OFF WE ARE, WELL, AND ALSO WE CAN SAYS, WE HAVE CONSIDERATION.

WE SAY THAT THE DAM'S GOING TO HELP THEM WITH THE PRESCRIPTION.

AND IT'S GOOD.

IT'S GOOD.

IF IT'S A MAJOR APPROVAL IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO POST IT.

I DON'T KNOW MA'AM I CAN.

I MEAN, THE JOB DESCRIPTION IS VERY IMPORTANT.

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU GUYS ARE IN LINE WITH WHAT IT SAYS, ESPECIALLY BEFORE WE HIRE SOMEONE ELSE SO THAT THEY HAVE A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING WHAT THEIR JOB DUTIES ARE.

RIGHT.

BUT THAT GIVES US SOME TIME.

I JUST ASKED THE QUESTION.

I'M NOT, WELL, DEPARTMENT CAN COMMUNICATE THAT JOB DESCRIPTION TO THE COURT, JUST TELL THEM THIS IS WHAT WE'RE GOING TO POST.

AND THAT IS WHAT WE'RE GOING TO POST THE WOMEN THAT WERE POSTED JUST AS INFORMATION.

YEP.

THAT WORK AS LONG AS YOU'RE.

WHO'S GOING TO WANTING THAT ATTORNEYS NEED TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE PRESIDENTIAL EXECUTIVE ORDER ON TAX DEFERRAL AND CHECK WHILE YOU'RE HERE OR CHUCK, YOU MIGHT, DO YOU WANT TO DISCUSS THAT OR? OKAY.

SO DO Y'ALL WANT TO, SO I GUESS WHAT I WOULD DO THEN IF THAT'S ARE THEIR BUDDY THEN CALL FOR A MOTION TO AUTHORIZE THE HR DEPARTMENT TO POST A JOB OPENING FOR HR DIRECTOR.

ALL RIGHT.

I'LL MAKE THAT MOTION.

WE HAD EMOTIONAL COMMISSIONER PHILLIPS.

IS THERE A SECOND? I'LL SAY SECOND COMMISSIONER HUNT, DISCUSSION THOSE IN FAVOR, SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.

THOSE OPPOSED.

NO, THAT MOTION CARRIES.

UH, WELL, LET'S SEE,

[19. Judge Richards; Discuss/Consider the Presidential Executive Order on Tax Deferral.]

SO, UM, WE KIND OF HINTED AT THIS LAST WEEK, BUT THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT HAS COME OUT WITH SOME GUIDANCE ON THIS ISSUE.

THEIR GUIDANCE IS FOR THE, UH, TAX PAYER.

I, THE EMPLOYER TO MAKE THE DECISION WHETHER OR NOT THE TAXES ARE GOING TO BE DEFERRED.

THEIR SUGGESTION IS TO HAVE THE EMPLOYER DEFER THE TAXES FROM WHENEVER WE START THROUGH THE END OF DECEMBER AND THEN TO DOUBLE TAX, THE EMPLOYEES STARTING JANUARY THROUGH APRIL.

AND, UM, I, UH, FORESEE THAT BEING A POTENTIAL LIABILITY ON SEVERAL FRONTS FOR THE COUNTY.

UM, I THINK CHUCK WOULD AGREE WITH THAT COMPLETELY.

UM, I THINK IF WE, IF YOU DO DECIDE TO GO FORWARD WITH THE DEFERRAL, I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH THE NEED TO HAVE AN AGREEMENT WITH EACH EMPLOYEE AND HAVE THEM MAKE AN AFFIRMATIVE ELECTION IN ADDITION TO THE COUNTY'S ELECTION, BUT HAVE THEM FULLY COMPREHEND AND SIGN OFF ON WHAT THEY'RE AGREEING TO AND WHAT THE RAMIFICATIONS ARE GOING TO BE.

CAUSE THE TAX BILL WAS GOING TO COME DUE SOONER OR LATER.

DOES ANYBODY THINK THIS IS A GOOD IDEA?

[01:00:01]

NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT.

YOU KNOW, I DON'T, I DON'T THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA BECAUSE THE PAYROLL IS BASICALLY LOWER INCOME PAYROLLS.

THEY'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE THE MONEY TO REPAY IT.

AND IF YOU COME BACK AND DUMBLE IT UP AND TAX TAKE THE MONEY BACK AND THEY ARE THE ULTIMATE PERSON THAT'S ALLOWABLE FOR THE TAX.

ABSOLUTELY.

WE'RE NOT, THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND.

EVEN IF WE DON'T PAY IT, THEY'RE STILL ALIVE.

THEY'RE THE PERSON THAT THEY'RE GOING TO COME AFTER.

NO, THEY'RE GOING TO COME AFTER THE AUDITOR.

THEY'RE GOING TO COME AT.

BUT YEAH.

WELL THE PERSON, IF THEY KNOW THEY'RE GOING TO BE DOUBLED NO SOMEWHERE ELSE.

THAT'S RIGHT.

AND ALSO SAY THAT CHUCK DID A LITTLE SURVEY OF, UM, OTHER COUNTIES AND NO OTHER COUNTY THAT WE HAVE FOUND IS DOING IT RIGHT.

WELL, IT JUST SHOWS WE'RE NOT ALL CRAZY, BUT I JUST WANT TO, CAUSE I'VE HAD A FEW OF MY EMPLOYEES ASK ABOUT THIS AND THEY WEREN'T CLEAR ABOUT IT.

I JUST WANTED TO BE VERY CLEAR TO ALL OF OUR EMPLOYEES.

THIS IS FOR THEIR BETTERMENT.

NOT, WE'RE NOT TRYING TO HURT THEM BECAUSE I'LL BE AHEAD.

THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND SOME PEOPLE AREN'T UNDERSTANDING YOU DO HAVE TO PAY THAT MONEY AND ASK.

SO IT'S JUST A DEFERRAL.

IT'S NOT, YOU KNOW, FORGIVENESS.

SO YEAH.

UH, UNCLE SAM'S GONNA WANT HIS PEACE, EVEN IF THEY WENT, IF THEY DECIDE THEY'RE GOING TO OUTSMART THE SYSTEM AND THEY'VE DECIDED THEY'RE GONNA QUIT BEFORE, IT'S TIME TO PAY IT BACK.

PAYS IT BACK, MAN.

SO I MEAN, WOULD LAST TWO WEEKS PLUS TO THEM THE COMP TIME AND STUFF, WE HAVE ACCESS TO, TO GET OUR MONEY BACK BEFORE WE SETTLE UP WITH THEM BEFORE THEY GO TO.

RIGHT.

WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM 20, UH, DISCUSS, CONSIDER APPROVAL OF OFFICIAL HOLIDAYS FOR COFFIN COUNTY EMPLOYEES FOR 2021.

SO WHAT WE COULD DO IS NOT EVEN TAKE ACTION ON ITEM 19.

IF THERE WASN'T EMOTION ABOUT THAT, KNOWING THEN IF WE DON'T TAKE AFFIRMATIVE ACTION, THEN IT DOESN'T HAPPEN.

SO IS THERE EMOTIONAL ITEM, 19 HEARING NONE.

[20. Judge Richards; Discuss/Consider approving official holidays for Kaufman County employees for 2021.]

UH, I THINK YOU ALL, I WOULD ASSUME YOU ALL HAVE RECEIVED THAT.

I'LL READ THEM TO THE RECORD.

UH, THE PROPOSED DATES WOULD BE MARTIN LUTHER KING DAY ON MONDAY, JANUARY 18TH, PRESIDENT'S DAY, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 15TH.

GOOD FRIDAY, UH, FRIDAY, APRIL 2ND, MEMORIAL DAY, MONDAY, MAY 31ST INDEPENDENCE DAY, MONDAY, JULY 5TH, LABOR DAY, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 6TH, COLUMBUS DAY, MONDAY, OCTOBER 11TH.

VETERAN'S DAY, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 11TH, THANKSGIVING, THURSDAY AND FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 25TH AND 26TH, CHRISTMAS, THURSDAY, FRIDAY AND MONDAY, DECEMBER 23RD, 24TH AND 27TH.

AND THEN NEW YEAR'S DAY, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 31ST, UH, MOST NON-EMERGENCY COUNTY OFFICES WILL BE CLOSED AT 3:00 PM ON WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 24TH, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 22ND AND THIRD DAY, DECEMBER 30TH, FULL TIME EMPLOYEES, UH, AFTER SIX MONTHS HAVE A, ALSO HAVE A FLOATING HOLIDAY.

ARE THERE ANY, IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION OR SUGGESTIONS ON THE HOLIDAY SCHEDULE IF THERE ARE NONE.

IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE THAT HOLIDAY SCHEDULE IS PRESENTED? I'LL MAKE THE MOTION WITH A MOTION COMMISSIONER HUNT.

IS THERE A SECOND, SECOND FROM BARBARA? I THINK YES.

UH, TO THOSE IN FAVOR, A DISCUSSION THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.

THOSE OPPOSED? NO MOTION CARRIES THE NEXT ITEM.

21, DISCUSS, CONSIDERED DESIGNATED COMMISSIONER'S COURT, REGULAR MEETING DAYS ON THE 2021 TERM.

I WANT TO PARTIALLY GIVE THIS TO YOU SO ANNABEL CAN SEE IT.

DOESN'T HAVE TO TRACK IT DOWN.

LET'S SIGN.

IT MAKES MY LIFE EASIER.

UH, OUT OF

[21. Judge Richards; Discuss/Consider designating the Commissioner's Court Regular Meeting days for the 2020-2021 term.]

UH, THERE'S NO, THERE'S NO ITEM IN THIS, BUT OUR CURRENT SCHEDULE IS SECOND AND FOURTH TUESDAYS.

UH, DOES ANYBODY WANT TO DEVIATE FROM THAT SCHEDULE? NO, IT'S BEEN WORKING PRETTY GOOD.

I THINK I WILL REMIND YOU ALL THAT.

WE DID HAVE A, SOMEWHAT OF A INFORMAL AGREEMENT THAT EVERYBODY KIND OF TEND TO HOLD THEIR TUESDAYS OPEN SO WE COULD HAVE ANOTHER MEETING OR A WORKSHOP IF WE NEEDED TO.

UM, OKAY.

THEN THAT WOULD BE, THE SCHEDULE WOULD BE THE SECOND AND FOURTH, TUESDAY OF EACH MONTH WOULD BE THE REGULAR COMMISSIONER'S COURT MEETING MEETING DAYS.

IS THERE A MOTION? I'LL JUST MAKE THAT IN TERMS OF EMOTION.

IS THERE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND SECOND WERE COMMISSIONER PHILLIPS DISCUSSION THOSE IN FAVOR, SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.

THOSE OPPOSED? NO, THAT MOTION CARRIES ITEM

[22. Judge Richards; Discuss/Consider approving no changes to the 2021 Sheriffs' and Constables' Fees.]

TONY TO DISCUSS, CONSIDER APPROVING NO CHANGES IN THE 2021 SHERIFFS AND CONSTABLE FEES.

[01:05:01]

UM, UH, WE'RE NOT, THERE ARE NO CHANGES PROPOSED IN THE FEES.

THIS IS A STATUTORY REQUIREMENT THAT WE HAVE TO TAKE THIS VOTE.

UH, ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT? NO, IF NOT, IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE NOTE CHANGES FEES FOR THE SHERIFF AND CONSTABLE AS PRESENTED? I'LL MAKE THAT MOTION.

THAT MOTION OF COMMISSIONER PHILLIPS.

IS THERE A SECOND, SECOND, SECOND COMMISSIONER HUNT DISCUSSION THOSE IN FAVOR, SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.

THOSE OPPOSED NO MOTION CARRIES

[23. Judge Richards; 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.]

ITEM 23, DISCUSS CONSIDER ENROLLING COUNTY ELECTED OFFICIALS AND EMPLOYEES FOR THE STATE MANDATORY MANDATED CYBERSECURITY TRAINING COURSE AT NO COST TO THE COUNTY PROVIDED BY ATISHA ASSOCIATION OF COUNTIES.

SAME THING AS LAST YEAR, WE'RE ALL REQUIRED.

ALL EMPLOYEES, ANYBODY THAT HAS ACCESS TO A COUNTY COMPUTER IS A HER COUNTY DEVICE IS REQUIRED TO TAKE THIS TRAINING.

SO QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT? I WOULD LIKE TO, UH, LAST YEAR WE ASKED AND WE WERE TOLD THAT ALL OF OUR EMPLOYEES HAD TO DO IT.

I WROTE IN BREEZE GUYS DID NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THE COMPUTER AT ALL UNTIL WE DID THE TRAINING AND WE HAD TO GIVE THEM AN EMAIL ADDRESS SO THAT THEY'RE NOT, WE LOSE A DAY PULLING PEOPLE IN 45 MINUTES OR AN HOUR AT A TIME, THE PEOPLE THAT ARE ON THE ROAD CREWS.

I UNDERSTAND WHY WE'RE DOING THIS.

I DO, BUT IT OUGHT TO BE THE PEOPLE THAT ACTUALLY USE THE COMPUTERS AND NOT THE ONES I HAVE TO DO IT THAT DON'T EVER USE THE COMPUTERS.

AND I DON'T, I GO ASSIST IT'S A STATE MANDATED DEAL, BUT I MEAN, CAN WE TALK TO OUR LEGISLATORS OR SOMETHING? SO JUST HAVE THE ONES THAT ACTUALLY USE THE COMPUTERS DO IT.

OR DID THEY JUST KIND OF OVERREACT WITH THIS LAST YEAR? YOU KNOW, MAYBE.

REBECCA, DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS ON THAT? YOU KNOW, WE'VE DISCUSSED IT OVER AND OVER AS FAR AS PEOPLE THAT DON'T ACTUALLY USE COMPUTERS OR NOT.

I THINK THE LIABILITY IS SUPER LIMITED BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE IN DANGER OF GETTING A VIRUS FROM A COMPUTER, BUT THE WAY IT'S WORDED IT DOES SAY ALL COUNTY EMPLOYEES.

SO THE LAST TIME WE APPROACHED OUR, UM, OUR INSURANCE CARRIER, THEY DID SAY EV ANYONE AND EVERYONE NEEDS TO COMPLETE THE NICE TRY.

BUT I'LL BE, YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST, WE LOSE.

I MEAN, IF WE COULD FIND, IF WE CAN WORK IT OUT FOR A RAINY DAY, IT WOULDN'T BE THAT BAD.

I MEAN, I DON'T, I MEAN, WE'VE GOT PRETTY SICK.

HAVE YOU GUYS DONE IT YET? YES, WE DID IT LAST YEAR.

EVERYONE'S GETTING WELL, MANDAN HERE'S HIDDEN.

NO, I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW, I MEAN, I HAVE NO ACCESS TO IT AND I HAVE NO ACCESS TO IT.

THEY DON'T NEED TO TAKE IT.

END OF STORY.

I MEAN, THEY DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THE COMPUTER SCREEN THING.

HE'S AN ELECTED OFFICIAL.

IF THAT'S WHAT THEY HAVE NO WAY OF HIS DETERMINATION FOR HIS DEPARTMENT, THEN YEAH.

ALL WE CAN DO IS MAKE A RECOMMENDATION.

WHEN I DO KNOW THIS, THAT, THAT, YOU KNOW, THE ADMIN ASSISTANT HAD TO GO TO THE SHOP AND WALK.

SOME PEOPLE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO CUT THEM ON SOMEBODY EVER.

THEY'VE NEVER EVEN SEEN A LAPTOP.

I MEAN THIS.

SO, I MEAN, SHE HAD TO KIND OF WALK THEM THROUGH A LOT OF THE STUFF, YOU KNOW, AND EVEN DOING, TAKING THE THING I WAS DOWN THERE ONE DAY I WAS HAVING LUNCH AND SHE WALKED OUT AND THE GUY GOT LOST WITHIN LIKE THREE MINUTES.

I HAD TO CALL HER BACK IN TO TRY TO GET HIM THROUGH.

THANKS.

SO THESE PEOPLE JUST DON'T USE IT.

SO MAYBE THAT'S SOMETHING WE CAN BRING UP TO THE LEGISLATURE THIS NEXT TIME AROUND AND JUST DON'T DO IT.

JUST SAY THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT THAT'S THE PROBLEMS THAT IT'S CAUSING AND THERE'S NO POINT IN IT.

WHY ARE YOU IN NOW? I'M SURE WE GET SOME OTHER COMMISSIONERS AND OTHER COUNTIES DO AGREE WITH US.

I'M SURE THAT THERE'S WE ALREADY HAVE THEM.

I TALKED TO QUITE A FEW OF THEM AND NONE OF THEM ARE MAKING THEIR OWN RATES CASTING.

I DON'T THINK THAT'S WHAT THEY INTENDED IT FOR.

NO, THE RECORD SAYING WE DID DO IT IN PRECINCT.

THREE ONLY THING THAT WE HAVE TO DO TODAY WOULD BE TO TAKE ACTION TO ENROLL COUNTY OFFICIALS AND EMPLOYEES IN THE TRAINING COURSE.

THAT'S ALL WE GET TO DO.

SO, UH, WOULD ANYONE CARE TO MAKE A MOTION TO TAKE THAT ACTION TO ENROLL COUNTY AND ELECTED OFFICIALS AND EMPLOYEES IN THE MANDATORY TRAINING CLASS? YEAH.

I'LL MAKE A MOTION COMMISSIONER.

IS THERE A SECOND? WE HAVE A MOTION FROM COMMISSIONER PHILLIPS, A SEMI SECOND FROM COMMISSIONER BARBER.

UH, DISCUSSION THOSE IN FAVOR, SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.

ITEM 24, DISCUSS, CONSIDER APPROVING MOU FOR THE CARES FUND DISTRIBUTIONS.

THOSE OPPOSED MOTION CARRIES.

ALRIGHT.

[24. Judge Richards; Discuss/Consider approving the MOU for the Cares Fund Distributions.]

[01:10:01]

LET ME SET THE SCENE FOR YOU ON THIS.

UM, THE STATE DESIGNATED, UH, $3.8 MILLION IN CARES FUNDING, UH, COVID RELATED EXPENSES FOR THE COUNTY.

WE REMEMBER THAT WE GOT ABOUT $750,000 OF THAT UP FRONT.

UH, WE DO HAVE TO, IT HAS TO BE EXPENDED ON, UH, APPROPRIATE UNBUDGETED EXPENSES BY THE COUNTY, BUT, UH, OR WE HAVE TO RETURN IT, BUT WE STILL HAVE.

SO WE HAVE, WE'VE ONLY SPENT ABOUT PROBABLY 250,000.

SO WE, YOU KNOW, WE MIGHT HIT THREE 50 OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

UH, BUT THAT STILL LEAVES THE, WE STILL HAVE A DESIGNATED AMOUNT OF ABOUT A LITTLE OVER $3 MILLION THAT IS, UM, AVAILABLE TO US TO PROVIDE TO OTHER ELEMENTS OF OUR COMMUNITY, TO USE FOR LEGITIMATE COVERT EXPENSES.

YOU REMEMBER THAT Y'ALL APPROVED A GRANT PROGRAM.

Y'ALL APPROVED THIS GRANT PROGRAM A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO.

THAT WOULD BE ORCHESTRATED THAT WOULD, UH, ALLOW NONPROFITS.

THIS WAS NOT AN MOU.

THIS, I MEAN, THIS WAS JUST A GRANT PROGRAM WHERE LIKE, IF ONE OF OUR FOOD PANTRIES OR SOMETHING COULD, UH, IF THEY NEEDED, IF THEY'D BEEN SPENDING A LOT OF EXTRA MONEY FOR RENT ASSISTANCE OR UTILITY ASSISTANCE OR SOMETHING, THEY COULD APPLY IT TO, UH, TO THE COUNTY FOR GRANT.

AND WE COULD FUND THAT THIS IS REALLY THE SAME THING, EXCEPT THAT THE MAGNET.

SO I FELT LIKE WE NEEDED TO HAVE THIS IN FRONT OF THE COURT.

CAUSE IT'S THE PROPOSAL IS, IS A LOT OF MONEY.

UH, THE PROPOSAL IS THAT WE OFFER THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN THE COUNTY.

WE HAVE SEVEN OR NINE.

I CAN'T REMEMBER, UH, THAT WE OFFER THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS, UH, $2 MILLION OF THAT, UH, 3.3 $0.1 MILLION SO THAT WE HAVE LEFT.

WE OFFER THAT TO THEM UNDER AND THEY COULD EXPAND THAT IF THEY MET THE STANDARDS OF THIS MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING, THE MOU BASICALLY REQUIRES THAT THEY MAKE APPLICATION TO US FOR IT.

IT REQUIRES THEY SPEND THE MONEY ON AN APPROPRIATE EXPANSION.

YOU KNOW, THEY THEY'VE GOT THE LAW.

SO THEY'RE IN CHARGE OF UNDERSTANDING WHAT THEY CAN SPEND IT ON.

THEY BRING THOSE EXPENDITURES TO US.

WE FORWARD THAT TO THE STATE AND WHEN WE GET FUNDING, WE PROVIDE THEM FUNDING.

THE MOU AND DEB IS ONE WHO WORKED ON THIS ALSO SAYS TO THE EFFECT THAT IF, IF, IF THERE'S AN AUDIT OR SOMETHING COMES UP, THAT THEY EXPENDED THAT MONEY ON SOMETHING THAT WAS NOT APPROPRIATE AND WE'RE REQUIRED.

WE GET TASKED TO GIVE THAT MONEY BACK TO THE STATE.

THEY HAVE TO GIVE US THE MONEY BACK.

SO THE ONLY OPEN, THE ONLY OPEN THING LEFT ON THAT WAS HOW THAT MONEY WOULD BE DISTRIBUTED TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS.

AND, UM, THE DECISION WAS WE LET THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS FIGURE THAT OUT.

AND, UH, THEY GOT TOGETHER AND CAME UP WITH A FORMULA BASED ON, YOU KNOW, WE DO HAVE TWO DISTRICTS, AT LEAST TWO DISHES IN THE COUNTY THAT DON'T, THAT AREN'T LIKE WILL'S POINT IS IN KAUFMAN COUNTY, A PART OF THE 25%.

SO THEY HAVE TO ALLOCATE THAT ACCORDING TO HOW MANY KAUFLIN COUNTY STUDENTS, THAT'S WHY THE MAN COMES IN.

CAUSE YOU HAVE TO, THAT GOES OUT, CAUSE EVEN ROCKWALL COMES INTO.

AND SO THEY, THEY, THEY, THEY WILL GET A SMALL PORTION OF THAT.

FUNDING IS, AS IT MATCHES UP WITH THEIR SCHOOL POPULATION AND THEN THEY, THEN THEY THEY'RE OUT THEIR FORMULA.

THEY CAME UP, IT HAS TO DO WITH THE NUMBER STUDENTS AND HAD TO DO WITH THE PERCENTAGE OF LOW INCOME STUDENTS THAT THEY HAVE, BUT THEY WORKED THAT ALL OUT AMONGST THEMSELVES.

AND UM, SO THERE WAS SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT WHETHER WE SHOULD ALLOCATE $2 MILLION OF THAT, BUT THE HERE'S THE KEY, UH, THOSE FUNDS HAVE TO BE EXPENDED IF THOSE FUNDS ARE NOT EXPENDED BY THE END OF THE GOVERNOR'S DECLARATION, THAT GOES BACK TO THE STATE, THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS, UH, HAVE, ARE SPENDING AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT IS UNBUDGETED ON HOTSPOTS AND LAPTOPS AND SOFTWARE PROGRAMS, ALL KINDS.

I MEAN THEY BOUGHT DAS.

WELL, NO, BECAUSE WE'RE JUST KICKING THAT OFF.

THEY'RE SPENDING SIX FEET APART.

AND SO THEY'RE GOING TO, YEAH, THEY'RE GOING TO EXPAND BETWEEN ALL THE DISTRICTS.

THEY'RE GOING TO EXPAND THAT TO ME IN DOLLARS.

I'M PRETTY CONFIDENT.

AND I WOULD GUESS THAT WE MIGHT EVEN BE CONSIDERING THIS IN ANOTHER MONTH OR SO OFFERING THEM MORE IN THE MEANTIME, WE'RE GOING TO BE RUNNING THIS GRANT PROGRAM FOR OUR NONPROFITS, BUT I DON'T EXPECT ANY OF THEM TO HAVE HUGE AMOUNTS OF REQUESTS PLAN.

[01:15:01]

WE WERE TRYING TO SETTLE THIS DOWN.

WE'RE KICKING THAT OFF THIS WEEK AND IT CAN BE PAST EXPENDITURES, RIGHT.

IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE FUTURE.

IT COULD BE SOMETHING THEY'VE ALREADY SPENT MONEY THAT WASN'T BUDGET.

MS. MCCLOUD.

DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD TO THAT CONVERSATION FROM AN ACCOUNTING STANDPOINT? ACCOUNTING.

YOU JUST HAVE TO KEEP UP WITH IT.

THIS IS JUST SORT OF A BOX CHICKEN EXERCISE THAT WE HAVE TO DO IN ORDER TO, UH, SHORE UP OUR FUNDING.

UH, DEB, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD TO THAT? I MEAN, YOU WERE ON THIS EXCHANGE, A LITTLE DIGGING ON THIS AND IT'S, UM, IT'S MOSTLY AIMED TOWARDS HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS.

SO I'M NOT REALLY SURE THAT WE QUALIFY.

I'VE ASKED DESERET AND STEVE TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT.
