IT'S UH, NINE 30 ON JULY THE 17TH, AND WE'LL OPEN, UH, COURT TODAY.
UH, KEN, WOULD YOU OPEN US WITH A PRAYER PLEASE? YES, LORD, PRAY OUR MOST GRACIOUS HEAVEN.
FATHER, WE ASK FOR YOUR BLESSINGS THIS DAY.
WE ASK FOR YOUR BLESSINGS ON OUR TROOPS WHO ARE IN HARM'S WAY.
WE ASK THAT YOU GIVE RESOLVE TO THE CRISIS IN THE MIDDLE EAST, THAT IT IS IN YOUR CARE, AND THAT WE ASK YOU TO, THAT IT BE YOUR WILL AND YOUR WILL BE DONE.
THESE THINGS WE ASK YOUR SON'S NAME.
UH, OBVIOUSLY WE ALL HOPE SOMETHING CAN BE RESOLVED IN THAT MIDDLE EAST THING AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.
OH, LET'S DO THE OF ALLEGIANCE.
I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE, FLAG UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND TREAT REPUBLIC OR EXPAND ONE NATION ON THE VALLEY AND INDIVIDUAL WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL PLEDGE TO THE TEXAS PLEDGE.
ANYWAY, IT'S A SHORT COURT TODAY WE ONLY HAVE A COUPLE OF ITEMS. UH, JUDGE IS ON VACATION TODAY, SO WE'LL GO AHEAD AND, UH, ITEM NUMBER ONE, UH, APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES OF JULY 10TH.
HAVE WE ALREADY DONE THAT? NO.
I MAKE A MOTION WITH APPROVAL.
UH, I DON'T GUESS ANYBODY SIGNED UP.
SIR, YOU WANNA DISCUSS AND CONSIDER CHAD WOOLLEY, KAUFFMAN COUNTY SHERIFF DEPARTMENT DISPATCHER TO BUILD A MICRO MICROWAVE DISH ROOF MOUNT FOR THE OLD JAIL.
WHAT WE'RE REALLY TALKING ABOUT HERE IS, UH, WE'VE, THE COUNTY HAS ENJOYED VERY TALENTED EMPLOYEES OVER THE YEARS.
THE BUILDING WE'RE TALKING ABOUT WAS ACTUALLY BUILT BY, UH, THE FOLKS THAT IS NAMED AFTER, IN FACT, UH, COMMISSIONER HAMMICK HAD A LOT TO DO WITH IT.
DON MOORE, UM, RONNIE FEATHERSTONE, YOU KNOW, THEY WERE EMPLOYEES, THEY WERE WELDERS AND THEY HAD A LOT TO DO WITH CONSTRUCTION.
UH, COMMISSIONER PRECINCT TWO OF THIS TODAY.
HE HAS FOLKS OUT THERE THAT ARE DOING SHEET ROCKING THAT ARE JUST, YOU KNOW, DOING A TREMENDOUS JOB THERE.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE OPPORTUNITY OF ONE OF THE EMPLOYEES OF THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE WHO IS A WELDER.
UM, HE DOES REALLY GOOD WORK AND WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE HIM BUILD NOT JUST ONE NON-PENETRATING ROOF MOUNT FOR THE TOP OF THE OLD JAIL, BUT MOVING FORWARD AS WE EXPAND OUR WIRELESS NETWORK ACROSS THE COUNTY, THESE, YOU KNOW, TYPE OF DEVICES WILL NEED TO BE BUILT AND PUT ON TOP OF FOUR CANS AND SO ON.
UH, THE SAVINGS, YOU KNOW, THE REASON WE WOULD DO IT IS INSTEAD OF SPENDING ABOUT A THOUSAND, HE CAN FABRICATE 'EM FOR ABOUT 300 OR MAYBE A LITTLE MORE.
SO, UH, REALLY IT'S JUST TO GET THE COURT'S APPROVAL.
UM, I MET WITH THE AUDITOR AND HE SUGGESTED WE MAKE AN AGENDA ITEM OUT OF IT SO YOU GUYS COULD, YOU KNOW, PUT YOUR BLESSING OUT AND SEE IF THERE'S A WAY WE COULD HAVE CHAD LOSE AN EMPLOYEE, YOU KNOW, DO WORK OTHER THAN, UM, YOU KNOW, WHEN HE'S PAID THE IS DISPATCH.
IS THIS ALL, ALL, UH, IS THIS OKAY WITH THE SHERIFF OR IS HE JUST GONNA DO THIS IN HIS PART-TIME? A WON'T BE KNOW COUNTY.
DO YOU WANT, THIS IS, WHY DON'T WE MAKE THE BIG UMBRELLA IF YOU'VE GOT A LOT OF, A LOT OF THINGS TO MAKE.
UM, LET'S, UH, AUTHORIZE HIM TO DO THE WORK ON HIS OWN TIME OFF DUTY HOURS, I GUESS WOULD BE APPROPRIATE.
DO THAT WORK ON THE OFF DUTY HOURS.
EXPANDED PAST THIS ONE SITUATION.
WE SECOND, I'LL SECOND IT SO WE CAN TALK ABOUT IT.
DO YOU HAVE OTHER QUESTIONS? THE ONLY CONCERN I HAVE IS, YOU KNOW, HIM DOING IT ON HIS OWN TIME.
UH, HOW ARE WE GOING TO PAY HIM? IS THAT A PROBLEM? NOW, THAT'S THE REASON I I REQUESTED IT COME TO COURT IS I CAN'T DO THAT UNLESS Y'ALL TELL ME TO.
UH, BUT IF HE DOES IT ON HIS OWN TIME AND EVERYBODY'S AWARE HE IS AN EMPLOYEE AND Y'ALL
[00:05:01]
APPROVE IT, THEN I'VE GOT NO PROBLEM WITH IT.I MEAN, I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT ANYWAY.
I JUST COULDN'T DO IT WITHOUT Y'ALL.
IT'S NOT A PROBLEM IF, IF I AGREE, IT'S OKAY.
PAY IT FROM THE SHERIFF'S FUNDS INVOICE.
AND IT'LL TAKE WHATEVER FUND COMES OUT.
CONSTRUCTION MONEY WE'RE USING TO, UH, TALKING ABOUT THIS ALONG ON THIS LINE ALSO, UH, THE THREE MINUTE FROM MY PRECINCT, NOT PRECINCT TWO, UH, THAT ARE OUT HERE, UH, DOING WORK AT THE JAIL.
AND THESE GUYS HAVE REALLY, IF Y'ALL HAVE NOT BEEN OUT THERE AND LOOKED AT WHAT THESE PROFESSIONAL MEN HAVE DONE FOR US, UH, IT IS AWESOME.
AND, UH, SO ANYWAY, WE CAN'T HARDLY GET 'EM AWAY FROM MR. PORTER.
HE WON'T HARDLY LET ME HAVE A BACK.
BUT, UH, I WOULD LIKE FOR US ALSO TO CONSIDER THIS AMENDMENT, JIM, THAT, UH, WE PAY MONEY, EXTRA MONEY BECAUSE THEY'RE DOING A JOB THAT'S ABOVE AND BEYOND WHAT WE HIRED 'EM TO DO AS COUNTY EMPLOYEES.
AND, UH, THAT, UH, THEY'RE, THEY'RE DEEMED THAT BECAUSE OF THE, THE QUALITY OF WORK THAT THEY'RE DOING AND QUALITY WORK THAT THE COUNTY HAS RECEIVED, I I THINK THE AUDITOR MAY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH PAYING THEM DOUBLE WHILE THEY'RE DRAWING COUNTY FUNDS BEING PAID BY THE COUNTY AND ALSO BEING PAID FOR THAT WORK.
SO AM I, AM I CORRECT? I HAVE, I CERTAINLY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT UNLESS Y'ALL APPROVE IT.
UH, YEAH, BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT DOING THE WORK THEY'RE PAID TO DO.
THEY'RE DOING SOMETHING EXTRA.
IT'S A VERY, VERY SIMILAR SITUATION TO THIS.
ONLY THEY'RE DOING IT ON COUNTY TIME AND I DON'T THINK WE PAYING THEM DOUBLE, BUT IF KEN NEEDS 'EM BACK TO COME TO WORK, THEN YEAH, I HAVE A PROBLEM PAYING DOUBLE THAT THEY'RE, THEY'RE DOING A JOB THAT WOULD, UH, COME IN IF THEY WENT BACK TO DALLAS, LIKE THEY SAID, AND I ASKED MY SON-IN-LAW WHO IS A CONTRACTOR AND DOES CARPENTER WORK AND FINISHED CARPENTER WORK ALL, ALL OVER, BUT, UH, THEY MAKE $25 AN HOUR DOING THIS JOB, AND THAT WOULD BE IN DUBLIN.
WE WOULDN'T BE PAYING THEM THAT.
UM, UH, AND UH, BUT THESE GUYS HAVE REALLY GOT OUT THERE AND STAYED WITH YOU AND REALLY PUT US SOMETHING TOGETHER THAT'S OH, THEY DID.
THEY'VE DONE A GREAT JOB ABOVE, ABOVE WHAT WE ASKED ANYBODY ELSE TO DO.
MY ONLY PROBLEM WITH THAT WAS THAT WE DIDN'T ADDRESS THIS BEFORE THEY WENT OUT THERE.
I JUST THOUGHT THEY WERE, YOU KNOW, I SEND MY GUYS OVER TO DO ALL KINDS OF STUFF, NOT MAKE PROFESSIONAL STUFF LIKE THIS ALL THE TIME, AND WE DON'T EVER, UH, EXPECT ANY EXTRA PAY FOR IT.
I DON'T MIND TAILORING THIS UNTIL THE JUDGE GETS BACK AND LET EVERYBODY TALK ABOUT IT.
YEAH, THOSE GUYS HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB.
LIKE I SAID, WE LET PEOPLE LIKE THIS START GOING OUT AND DOING THINGS EXTRA.
I THINK WE NEED TO GOOD AT HOW WE DO IT.
YEAH, I, IF WE HAD TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFOREHAND, I DIDN'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT.
UH, AT FIRST I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT THEY WERE GONNA BE OUT THERE THAT LONG.
THEY MAY BE OUT THERE THREE MORE MONTHS.
WELL,
I'M SURE IT WOULDN'T MINE TOO.
AND, UH, LET'S, UH, LET'S TABLE THIS AND SEE IF I GETTING IT ON THE, ON THE, UH, GET THE AGENDA ITEM ON IT NEXT TIME.
MY MOTION IS NOT YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.
WE CAN PUT, WE CAN PUT KEN'S, UH, ISSUE ON THE NEXT AGENDA, RIGHT? NO, THIS, THIS NEEDS TO BE VOTED ON TODAY.
ANY MORE DISCUSSION, KEN? OTHER THAN THAT DAY? OKAY.
I WOULD LIKE A CLARIFICATION ON THE MOTION THAT WAS PRESENTED.
UH, THE MOTION WAS TO PERMIT CHAD WOOLSEY TO BUILD A MICROWAVE DISH ROOF OUT FOR THE OLD JAIL AND ANY FUTURE SIMILAR CONSTRUCTION DURING HIS OFF DUTY TIME.
COULD I, COULD I SUGGEST WE PUT THAT ON THE AGENDA FOR NEXT TIME? I MEAN, I, I DON'T KNOW THAT YOU CAN APPROVE SOMETHING THAT WASN'T ON THE AGENDA THAT THIS IS OH, YOU MEAN BECAUSE OF THE, THE, IT'S JUST THE OLD JAIL ON THE AGENDA.
WELL, WE CAN, LET'S JUST, WE, LET'S JUST APPROVE IT EXACTLY LIKE IT IS AND THEN, AND THEN IF WE WANT TO GUESS THAT, EXPAND A LITTLE, WE'LL DO THAT.
MAKE IT, MAKE THE, MAKE THE MOTION TO, UH, ADDRESS CHAD LEY TO, UH, SORRY.
BUILD THE MICROWAVE FISH MOUNT AT THE OLD JAIL DURING
[00:10:01]
HIS OFF DUTY TIME DURING OFF LEAVE AS THE OLD, YEAH, THAT'S FINE.ALSO, UH, TO DISCUSS AND CONSIDER ADVERTISING FOR ANNUAL CONTRACTS FOR HVAC SERVICES.
UH, GENERALLY WHAT I'D LIKE TO DO IS, UH, SELECT FOR PERMISSION TO ADVERTISE FOR BIDS FOR THE, UH, HVAC WORK.
WE MAY BE GETTING TO A LEVEL WHERE IT REQUIRE US TO, TO BID THAT OUT, AND I'D LIKE TO KEEP MY OPTION OPEN.
UH, IF I COULD DO IT IN OUR LOCAL AGREEMENT, UH, THIS WEEK WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT THAT WOULD PREVENT THIS.
BUT I'M WANTING TO BE SURE TO GET IT ON THE AGENDA TODAY, SIR, IF THAT DOES NOT WORK OUT.
THERE'S NO TELLING HOW MUCH MORE IS GOING GO ON OUT THERE IN THE NEXT THREE OR FOUR MONTHS.
IS THAT RIGHT? UH, ANY DISCUSSION ON THAT? I'D LIKE THAT MOTION.
MOTIONS MADE BY, UH, KEN SHANE, SECONDED BY JIM DELLER.
UH, HAL ARE THE, UH, YOU YEAH, THERE WERE TWO OF THOSE.
IT, IT WILL BE THE SAME THING ON THE ELECTRICAL SIDE OF IT.
ANY DISCUSSION? NO, I, I MAKE THE MOVE.
I WE'RE JUST GONNA AUTHORIZE HIM TO ADVERTISE FOR ADVERTISE FOR BIDS ON BOTH OF THEM.
ER, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER SHANE.

HALL, ARE THERE ANY LIGHT ITEM TRANSFERS? NO.
WE'RE SAVING THEM FOR NEXT WEEK.
ANY BILLS TO PAY THOSE? WE HAVE.
I WISH I HAD A GOOD ANSWER FOR THAT.
[00:15:01]
BUT THIS STUFF IN THE EAST, I IMAGINE IT'S GONNA BE MORE THAN THAT.WE GOTTA WORK OUT SOMETHING ON THAT.
I DUNNO WHAT? OH, THEY GOT A GOOD SHEET.
ROCK AS FAST AS YOU CAN PAINT IT.
THREE TIMES, DAY SOMETHING THAT, I MEAN SHEET ROCK.
I DON'T THINK WE COULD BE WITHOUT THREE OF OUR WORKERS THAT LONG WITHOUT PUTTING A CRAP UNDER OUR PUT THAT ON ANGIE.
[00:22:07]
AS HOT THE NEXT DAY.THEY SAID WHAT? YEAH, THEY SAID THEY PUT IT BACK THERE AND I SAID SURE.
THEY PUT IT BACK SO I COULD GO GET SOME MORE MONEY AND THEY COULD STEAL IT AGAIN.
GETTING ON THE SUBWAY, JUST IT WAS CRAP.
