[00:00:04]
AND I'M GONNA ASK OUR NEWEST GRANDPA TO, UH, OPEN US UP TODAY.
ALRIGHT, WE'RE, UH, PLEASED AND HAPPY ABOUT THAT.
UH, THANK YOU JUDGE FOR, REMIND ME, REMINDED ME HOW OLD I'M, LET US PRAY.
THOSE GRACIOUS, HEAVENLY FATHER, WE THANK YOU THE PRIVILEGE AND OPPORTUNITY OF GATHERING TOGETHER LIKE THIS TO DO THE BUSINESS OF THE COUNTY.
PLEASE LOOK DOWN UPON US WITH FAVOR AND GIVE US THE GUIDANCE AND WISDOM TO MAKE THE CORRECT DECISIONS.
AS ALWAYS, LOOK TO FAVOR ON THEIR TROOPS AS THEY PUT THEMSELVES IN HARM'S WAY THROUGHOUT THE WORLD AND BRING THEM HOME AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.
ALL THIS WE ASK IN JESUS NAME, I AMEN.
BILL, JOIN US IN FIRST, PLEASE.
I PUT ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION OF GOD, INDIVIDUAL WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.
HONOR THE FLAG OF ONE INDIVIDUAL.
Y'ALL PREVIOUSLY DID PROVIDE A COPY OF THE MINUTES OF OUR LAST MEETING, OR OF ANY ADDITIONS OR CORRECTIONS.
WE'D ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE THOSE AS PRESENTED.
MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER SHANE AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER TELLER.
FIRST THING UP THIS MORNING IS TO DISCUSS, CONSIDER AMENDING THE MINUTES OF MAY 22ND, 2006 TO REFLECT THE FOLLOWING CORRECTED PAY LEVELS.
DICK, YOU WANT TO COME UP AND, UH, DISCUSS THAT? GOOD MORNING.
WE'VE HAD A BIT OF CONFUSION WITH REGARD TO PAY LEVELS FOR VOTING.
UM, LAST MAY WE, OUR INTENT, WHAT WE DID WAS TO APPROVE THEIR HOURLY RATE FOR JUDGES AND ALTERNATES AND CLERKS DURING EARLY VOTING.
AND SOMEHOW THAT GOT CONSTRUED TO IMPLY ALSO FOR ELECTION DAY.
AND, UH, UH, AND IN THE CIRCUMSTANCES, I THINK IT'S APPROPRIATE TO GO AHEAD AND EXTEND, UH, THOSE INCREASED RATES TO COVER ELECTION DAY AS WELL.
I HAVE, UH, WRITTEN OUT HOW I SHOULD HOPE THE, UH, MOTION SHOULD READ, WHICH IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN WHAT'S IN THE, IN HERE, BUT IT IS A LITTLE MORE CLARIFYING BECAUSE IN THE MAY MINUTES AND IN THE, WELL, WE PAY THE, THE ELECTION DIVISION PAYS COUNTY WORKERS OVERTIME FOR ELECTION DAY, ELECTION NIGHT FOR THEIR WORK OVERTIME.
AND THAT'S WHAT THE $10 APPLIES TO.
UH, WE PAY EARLY VOTERS NOW, AFTER LAST MAY, WE PAY JUDGES AND ALTERNATE JUDGES $9 AND CLERKS $8.
I'D LIKE TO EXTEND NOW THROUGH THIS MOTION TO COVER ELECTION DAY AS WELL AS EARLY VOTING.
WHY DON'T YOU JUST DO THIS AS A NEW ACTION.
I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW IF WE CAN JUST AMEND A, THE MINUTES OF A MEETING FROM MAY 22ND AND THEN CHANGE.
WELL, THE WAY THE MINUTES READ WE DID OF MAY 22ND.
[00:05:01]
MATTER TO ME.I JUST, I'D RATHER I, I THOUGHT IT WAS APPROPRIATE TO MAKE 'EM READ LIKE THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO RATHER THAN LIKE THEY DO.
ARE WE TRYING TO AMEND THE MINUTES AND CHANGE PAYROLL AT THE SAME TIME? WE'RE TRYING TO AMEND THE MINUTES TO PROPERLY REFLECT THE, WHAT WE'RE VOTING ON IN MAY AS THE EARLY VOTING.
SO WE'RE NOT REALLY TRYING TO INCREASE THE, THE PAYROLL, I MEAN THE, UH, HOURLY WAGES RIGHT NOW? WELL, WE ARE FOR ELECTION DAY.
WE, WE ARE AMENDING IT FOR LAST MAY REDIRECT.
ARE YOU SAYING THIS IS GONNA BE RETROACTIVE IF YOU'RE GONNA AMEND THE MOTION? WHAT, GO AHEAD.
GO AHEAD AND FINISH YOUR STATEMENT QUESTION.
IF, IF YOU'RE GONNA AMEND, AMEND THE MOTION OF MAY 22ND, THIS IS A RETROACTIVE AND WE'RE GONNA PAY THEM THIS AMOUNT OF $10.
I THINK, I THINK COMMISSIONER LEONARD IS PROBABLY CORRECT.
IF YOU WANT TO MAKE THIS CHANGE, I WOULD PUT IT ON AS AN ACTION ITEM, UH, AND JUST NOT AMEND THE MINUTES.
I THINK WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS THAT IT'S, IT IS REALLY LIKE TWO MOTIONS, ISN'T IT? WELL, ONE TO AMEND THE MINUTES, HIS MOTION IS TO AMEND THE MINUTES, BUT IF WE AMEND IT, THEN WE GOTTA BACK PAY HIM THE EXTRA.
LET'S MAKE THE MOTION TO, TO CHANGE THE HOURLY RATE TO WHAT YOU WANT IT TO BE.
YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M SAYING? I THINK, I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT AS FAR AS THAT GOES, UH, THAT WE SHOULD NOT AMEND THOSE MINUTES, BUT GO AHEAD AND PUT ON NEW ACTS MATTER.
BUT WHAT DICK IS ASKING IS THAT TO BE MADE RETROACTIVE TO THIS PRESS NOVEMBER ELECTION, YOU WANT TO PAY THE, I THINK WHAT HAPPENED, UH, ACCORDING TO WHAT DICK HAD TOLD ME, AND DICK, I DON'T MEAN TO PUT WORDS IN YOUR EAR, UH, IN YOUR MOUTH, PUT WORDS IN YOUR EAR, BUT I BET A NUMBER OF CALLS, THAT WAS THE, WE WE'VE HAD A NUMBER OF CALLS FROM ELECTION JUDGES, CLERKS AND ALTERNATES SAYING THAT THEY WERE TOLD THEY WERE GONNA GET PAID 10 TO $12 AN HOUR.
AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE THAT CAME FROM.
UH, IT, BUT IT IS APPARENTLY CAME FROM SEVERAL DIFFERENT SOURCES.
BUT BECAUSE A LOT OF 'EM ARE UPSET.
BUT IT DIDN'T COME FROM ANY SCHOOL YOU PUT ON OR ANY OF NO SIR.
I THINK IT CAME FROM THE FACT THAT COUNTY EMPLOYEES WORKING, THOSE GET $10 AN HOUR.
THAT'S WHY I WANTED TO AMEND THE MAY BECAUSE THE MAY MINUTES IMPLY THAT.
BUT ANYWAY, WHERE IT CAME FROM DOESN'T MATTER.
UH, DO YOU DO IT, DO YOU REALLY WANT TO GET IN THE BUSINESS OF VILIFYING RUMORS IN THIS COURTHOUSE AFTER THE FACT? WELL, IF WE WANNA HAVE ANY JUDGES FOR THE NEXT ELECTION, I THINK IT'D BE A GOOD IDEA TO DO SOMETHING TO CUT TONE THIS DOWN, DON'T YOU, COMMISSIONER? I MEAN, YOU WERE ONE OF THE PEOPLE THAT ALERTED ME TO THIS PROBLEM.
WELL, AND WE DID IN MY OFFICE CALL THREE OR FOUR OF THE COUNTIES LOCALLY AROUND HERE AND, AND THESE RATES ARE PRETTY MUCH THE SAME AS WHAT THEY'RE USING NOW.
WE DID DO THAT, BUT I I THINK WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO JUST PUT IT ON.
WELL, CAN WE NOT JUST DO THE PART ABOUT AMENDING THE, UH, THE UH, THE MINUTES OF THE MAY 22ND MEETING HERE TODAY? AND IS THAT, IS THAT NOT GONNA WORK? I THINK WE NEED TO CORRECT IT IN A BRAND NEW YEAH, SORRY ABOUT THAT.
I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL NEXT WEEK.
GET MORE, GET MORE PHONE CALLS THAT WAY.
YEAH, WE'RE GETTING A LOT OF PHONE CALLS FROM LOTS OF DIFFERENT THINGS.
YEAH, WE'LL JUST PUT IT BACK ON NEXT WEEK.
AND, UH, MOTION OR ANYTHING, DON'T NEED JUST, UH, NOT TAKE ANY ACTION ON IT.
WE'LL JUST PUT BACK ON JENNIFER NEXT WEEK AFTER THIS AFTERNOON.
I'LL GET WITH YOU AND WE'LL WORK ON THAT FOR YOU.
NEXT WE HAVE DISCUSSED AND CONSIDER ZERO SEVEN DASH TWO ANNUAL CONTRACTS WITH
UH, I JUST PASSED OUT THIS MORNING, UH, GENTLEMEN.
UH, WE JUST FINISHED THING LATE THURSDAY AND I EMAILED COPY
[00:10:01]
TO COMMISSIONER, UH, LAST YEAR.WE CHOSE TO JUST AWARD THIS, UH, IN COURT BASED ON LOW BIDDER.
WE EXPECT RATHER THAN, THAN, UH, CALL OUT ALL THESE ITEMS, UH, WE DO THAT AGAIN THIS YEAR.
DEPEND HOW Y'ALL WANNA DO THAT.
UH, THE ONLY EXCEPTION TO THAT, THAT IS THAT, UH, WE'RE, WE'RE, WE RECOMMEND A BOARD OF LOW BIDDER THAT THERE, LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE 2 6 2 0.027 DOES ALLOW US TO CONSIDER THE LOCATION OF THE VENDORS AS FAR AS BEING CLOSER TO THE PRECINCTS THAT THE PERSONAL MATERIAL.
SO IF YOU'LL NOTICE, APAC IS, IS CLOSE TO, UH, PRECINCTS, UH, TWO AND THREE AND, UH, HEON COUNTY IS CLOSE TO, UH, PUBLIC ONE AND FOUR.
SO WE'RE, WE'RE ALLOWED TO MAKE MULTIPLE AWARDS.
AND THEN THE OTHER EXCEPT WOULD BE THAT, UH, LOW BID ON ALL THE OTHER ITEMS WITH THE EXCEPTION THAT WE'RE GOING TO ALSO, UH, AWARD A SECONDARY VENDOR IN CASE PRIMARY VENDOR IS, UH, OUT MATERIAL.
AND THEN THE ONLY OTHER THING IS, UH, AN ATTACHMENT FEE.
UH, ITEM THREE, THE CRUSHED ASPHALT WITH EACHNET MINUS.
WE HAD A PROMINENT SPECIFICATION AND UH, I RECOMMEND WE MAKE GO WORK ON THAT ITEM.
THAT JUDGE, IT'S PRETTY MUCH EXPECTATION.
I'D BE GLAD TO, UH, GIVE THE MEDIA A COPY OF THIS REVIEW THAT ANY, ANY VETERANS HERE WELCOME TO COME BY, TAKE A LOOK AT.
I HAVE, I HAVE ONE QUESTION ON THIS.
UH, ON THE VERY FIRST PAGE, ITEM NUMBER ONE, I MAKES ASPHALT CONCRETE TYPE D SURFACE PRICE PER TON AT PLANT SITE.
WHY DID THEY, WHY DID APAC ONLY 2, 6, 2 AND THREE? IF I'M DOING, IF I'M DOING A ROAD UP NORTH APEX COLLECTED IN HENDERSON COUNTY, DOES THAT MEAN I CAN'T, THIS IS, IF IT WAS F IF IT WAS DELIVERED, I WOULD, I WOULD UNDERSTAND THAT.
UH, BUT THIS IS, THIS IS FOB I'M ASSUMING.
I THINK IF YOU'LL, UH, ARE WE UNDER TYPE, UH, ATTACHMENT C OR TYPE B TYPE D HOT MIX ITEM NUMBER ONE ON YOUR LIST HERE.
THE VERY FIRST TYPE D SURFACE PRICE PER CON PLANT SITE, HOT MIX, ASPHALT, CONCRETE, UH, QUANTITY TON ONE.
AND THEY'VE GOT BID AMOUNT FOR PRECINCT TWO AND THREE.
UH, IF IT WAS DELIVERED, I CAN UNDERSTAND THE NOTHING, BUT, UH, BECAUSE FROM APAC PRECINCT FOUR IS A LOT LONGER DISTANCE TO DELIVER.
I DON'T KNOW IF WE ASK FOR THAT OR IF THAT WAS JUST THEIR CHOICE.
YEAH, BECAUSE JERRY WILL HAVE SOME SHORT ROWS ALSO.
JERRY MAY WANT TO APAC SO WE GET A CLARIFICATION ON THAT, DUDE.
THEY, I HATE TO PIGGYBACK ON PRECINCT TWO AND THREES
WELL, ARE WE TALKING ABOUT ATTACHMENT A, RIGHT? WE TALKING ABOUT ATTACHMENT A TOP D? YES.
SECOND NUMBER ONE ON YOUR LIST THAT MAKES ASPHALT CONCRETE
IF WE'RE PICKING IT UP, WHAT, WHAT DOES IT, YOU KNOW, WHAT DOES IT MATTER? YEAH.
THAT THAT'S, THAT'S PICKED UP AT THEIR SIDE.
SO WHAT I'VE GOT HERE IS THAT'S PRICES FOR TWO AND THREE.
THAT'S PRICES FOR ONE AND FOUR.
UH, WELL I ONLY PUT THAT TWO AND THREE BECAUSE THINKING THAT YOU WOULD NOT WANT TO GO THERE AND PICK THAT UP, THAT YOU WOULD PREFER TO GO TO HENDERSON COUNTY 99 TIMES OUT OF A HUNDRED.
BUT, BUT YOU'RE, THIS WILL BE AWARDED.
THAT'S, THAT'S MY ONLY QUESTION.
YEAH, YOU CAN, YOU'RE, YOU'RE FREE TO PICK THAT UP, UH, AT APAC IF YOU'D LIKE.
UH, IT'D BE AWARDED THAT WAY, BUT I, I ASSUME THAT, UH, YOU WOULDN'T WANT TO GO THERE.
THAT INTEREST COUNTY CLOSER TO YOU GET TO GO THERE.
BUT YOU'RE FREE TO GO BE THE ONE.
AND LIKE I SAY, THE GOVERNMENT CODE ALLOWS US TO, TO MAKE MULTIPLE AWARDS BASED ON THAT THEORY THAT YOU MAY YEAH.
IF IT WAS DELIVERED, I WOULD UNDERSTAND THAT.
AND THAT'S WHY I WAS KIND OF CONFUSED WHY THAT AND, AND WE'VE DONE MULTIPLE AWARDS IN THE PAST JUST TO MAKE SURE WE'RE COVERED.
BECAUSE ESPECIALLY SOMETHING LIKE ASPHALT, THEY COULD BE, YOU KNOW, THEY COULD BE OUT ONE PLACE AND UH, BY MORE THAN MULTIPLE BIDS, GO GET MATERIAL.
COMMISSIONER'S WELCOME TO GO TO APAC AND BUY FOR 49 A TON VERSUS 55 A TON IF YOU THINK IT BETTER.
WELL, AND TWO, YOU KNOW, TWO AND THREE MIGHT HAVE TO GO TO HENDERSON COUNTY.
AND IF YOU'LL NOTICE ON NOW, UH, UH, WITH HIS FB OR WITH DESTINATION, UH, APAC ONLY BID ON TWO AND THREE SURE.
AND HENDERSON, THAT'S UNDERSTANDABLE.
BUT AT THIS, WANT PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT'S HAPPENED HERE.
UH, WHEN DOES THIS TAKE EFFECT, UH, AFTER THE DATE?
UH, IF YOU LOOK AT THE COST OF, UH, HOT MIX IN HENDERSON COUNTY, UH, ASPHALT, IT'S $55 A TON.
[00:15:01]
IT WAS LAST YEAR? NO.THAT'S $13 INCREASE IN THE COST OF ASPHALT.
HOT MIX ASPHALT FROM LAST YEAR.
I'M ASSUMING THAT'S BE COST FUEL.
APAC TOLD ME THEY, IN FACT, I THINK I MAY HAVE GOTTEN SOME FROM APAC FOR 42 GO FOR HENDERSON COUNTY.
BUT ANYHOW, THAT'S JUST OBSERVATION OF THIS.
SO YOUR RECOMMENDATION IS TO GO WITH, UH, MULTIPLE BIDS.
UH, COMMISSIONER SHANE MAKES THAT MOTION.
COMMISSIONER LER SECOND IT ALL IN FAIR TO SAY.
NEXT HAVE DISCUSSED AND CONSIDER PROVING THE PRELIMINARY PLA OF SHADOW LAKES SUBDIVISION PHASE TWO TO, UH, APPROVE THIS, THIS.
THANK YOU JUDGE COMMISSIONERS, I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY.
I, UH, IT WAS ABOUT A YEAR AGO, I BELIEVE THIS MONTH.
AND WE BROUGHT IN PHASE ONE OF THIS PROJECT AND, UH, GOT THE FINAL PLAT RECORDED.
WE HAD 123 LOTS IN PHASE ONE AND SALES HAVE, UH, BEEN MOVING REALLY FAST OUT THERE.
I BELIEVE TOM TOLD ME TODAY THEY DON'T HAVE A FEW LOTS LEFT.
SO WE'RE MOVING RIGHT INTO PHASE TWO.
AND TODAY WE'RE ASKING FOR THE PRELIMINARY PLAT TO BE APPROVED FOR PHASE TWO.
OBVIOUSLY WE WILL, UH, HAVE THE ENGINEERING PHASE TO GO THROUGH IN THE FINAL PLAN BEFORE WE GET THIS ACTUALLY RECORDED.
BUT, UH, I DID WANT TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE CONCEPT PLAN TODAY.
AND, UH, I'LL SHOW YOU WHAT WE HAVE HERE.
I HOPE EVERYONE'S HAD A CHANCE TO GO OUT THERE AND, AND SEE THIS PROJECT WITH AT LEAST.
SO WHAT FAMILIAR WITH 29 65 HERE AND THE INTERSTATE HERE.
PHASE ONE IS BASICALLY THIS QUIET AREA AND, UH, WE'RE MOVING THROUGH PRETTY FAST.
AND THIS LITTLE BLUE AREA HERE IS PHASE TWO.
AND THE ORIGINAL CONCEPT PLAN, WE GOT 86 LOTS PLANTED IN HERE, BUT WITH THE PRELIMINARY PLA WE'VE BROUGHT TO YOU TODAY, THERE'S ONLY 50.
SO THEY'VE REDUCED A LOT COUNT BECAUSE THEY'VE INCREASED THE LOT SIZES, EXCUSE ME, ALONG THE INTERSTATE HERE, THEY'VE INCREASED ALL THESE LOTS TO FOUR AND A HALF TO FIVE ACRES AND SEE THREE ACRE LOTS AROUND HERE.
NOW, ALONG THE, THE AREA THAT HAS HAS THE TREES, THERE'S STILL SOME ONE AND TWO AC LOTTS IN THERE.
BUT, UH, WE OVERALL, WE REDUCED THE DENSITY TREMENDOUSLY BECAUSE THERE SEEMS TO BE A DEMAND FOR A LARGER LOT.
AND, UH, I BELIEVE WE'RE GOING TO, UH, DO VERY WELL WITH THAT ALSO WITH THAT SAME CONCEPT.
UH, AND PHASES THREE, WHICH IS THREE A AND THREE B.
WE'VE GONE TO A THREE ACRE LOT HERE AND A FIVE ACRE LOT HERE AND KIND OF KEPT THIS OVER HERE THE SAME.
'CAUSE BEFORE WE GET TO PHASE FOUR, THAT MAY FALL THE SAME DEPENDING ON HOW THE SCALE DUE TO THE FACT THAT THERE'S ONLY 50 LOTS IN THIS PHASE.
WE'D EXPECT TO PROBABLY BE BACK PRETTY SOON WITH PHASE THREE AS WELL, IF THEY'RE MOVING AS FAST AS THEY ARE.
SO JUST WANTED TO COVER THAT ON THE CONCEPT PLAN.
AND UH, AS YOU KNOW, THIS PHASE ALSO HAS AN AMENITY CENTER.
WE FLIP OVER WHERE CAN SEE PHASE TWO.
YOU SEE THIS IS THE LARGE LAKE.
THIS IS THE BIG, UH, QUARRY LAKE.
AND THEN THIS IS JUST A, A POND THAT WAS DUG ON TIME AGO WITH OUR, THE WAY WE HAVE IT LAID OUT, THE DAM GOES RIGHT HERE.
WE HAVE, WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND BUILD THE AMENITY CENTER WITH THIS PHASE AS WELL, WHICH HAVE A, A CABANA, A SWIMMING POOL, SOFTBALL FIELDS, AND SOME OPEN AREAS.
AND IF YOU BEEN OUT THERE LATELY, YOU'VE SEEN THE JOGGING TRAILS OR THE WALKING PATHS, I GUESS IS MORE CORRECT.
AND THIS GOES AROUND THIS LENGTH HERE THAT ARE ALREADY INSTALLED.
EVEN THOUGH THIS, THIS IS JUST NOW BEING PLANTED, ALL THIS PARK IS BEING DEDICATED WITH THIS PHASE AS WELL.
WE HAVE, UH, 218 ACRES AND ON 50 LOTS WITH, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF THAT BEING THE PARK AREA.
THE, UH, AND THE PLAN DID CHANGE A LITTLE BIT.
WE DO HAVE THESE, UH, CUL-DE-SACS NOW WITH THE LARGER LIGHTS AROUND IT.
AND, UH, WE DID SEND THIS TO MR. EWING AND, UH, HE, HE HAS REVIEWED IT AND APPROVED IT.
WE, UH, HAVE ONE ISSUE WITH THAT.
AND PHASE ONE WE HAVE A CUL-DE-SAC THAT COMES DOWN HERE.
AND IN OUR ORIGINAL CONCEPT PLAN, THIS STREET WAS GOING TO GO THROUGH.
BUT SINCE WE WENT IN, THIS IS NOW A, A 10 ACRE LOT HERE.
AND THIS IS A, A THREE OR FOUR AC I THINK THAT'S A, THAT'S A SIX ACRE LOT.
SO IN ORDER TO PUT THESE BIGGER LOTS BACK THERE, WE WIND UP JUST MAKING THIS A CUL-DE-SAC.
AND WHAT THAT DOES ON THIS CULDESAC, IT COMES OUT TO PHASE ONE AND ACTUALLY PUT 16 LOTS ON THERE, WHICH IS EXCEEDS IT BY ONE.
SO THERE'S ONE EXCEPTION THERE THAT, UH, THAT THIS CHANGE
[00:20:01]
WILL, WELL, HE WON'T HAVE TO ASK FOR THERE, BUT I BELIEVE THAT, UH, MR. EWEN CAN SPEAK TO THAT, THAT HE DID REVIEW IT.UH, WE HAVE SUBMITTED THE ENGINEERING TO, TO BERNIE.
UH, WE DID MAKE ONE CHANGE HERE THAT WE'RE GOING TO, UH, REVISE THE PLANTS ON THIS PARK VIEW DRIVE DOWN HERE.
I'M HOPING CHRISTIAN SIT A LITTLE BIT BETTER.
WE ACTUALLY TOOK THIS AND INVERTED IT AND BROUGHT IT AROUND THROUGH THIS OPEN AREA SO WE DIDN'T HAVE TO TAKE OUT THOSE TREES.
SO THAT WAS THE ONLY CHANGE THAT WE'VE MADE PHYSICALLY.
AND, UH, SO WE'RE GONNA REVISE THAT AND SEND THAT BACK TO BERNIE.
WE HOPE TO, UH, WORK THROUGH THE ENGINEERING PROCESS WITH HIM THIS MONTH AND MAY THE FIRST OR SECOND MEETING IN JANUARY BE BACK IN THERE WITH A FINAL PLAN AND THEN GET THEM ROLLING.
I THINK EVERYONE'S AWARE OF THE ORIGINAL AGREEMENT THAT WE DID WITH PHASE ONE COVERED THE ENTIRE 1400 ACRES.
SO WE'RE GONNA MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT.
I THINK THAT THE BIG ISSUES ON THAT WERE THE, UH, THE COUNTY ROAD, WHICH IS THREE 15 OVER HERE, WHICH THEY'RE GOING TO IMPROVE WHEN WE GET OVER HERE TO THIS SIDE AND ACTUALLY CONNECT.
UH, WE'VE ALREADY DEDICATED THE, THE LOT TO THE, UH, ELBOW FIRE DISTRICT OR WHATEVER CALLED FIRE DISTRICT.
SO THAT LOT DISTRICT HAS BEEN, UH, DEEDED OVER TO THEM AND THEY, THEY'RE KEEPING WILLS.
AND SO I THINK THAT'S THE HIGH POINTS OF THE DEVELOPERS AGREEMENT.
SO WITH THAT BEING SAID, I BELIEVE BERNIE, UH, CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE ON ANY OF THE ENGINEERING.
HE'S, WE'VE ACTUALLY SUBMITTED ENGINEERING AND HE'S HAD A PRELIMINARY REVIEW OF IT.
SO, AND, UH, LIKE I SAID, WE'RE JUST ASKING FOR THE PRELIMINARY PLAN TODAY AND HOPE TO BE BACK REAL SOON WITH A FINAL PLAT.
THEN I'LL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
UH, TOM, DO YOU WANT COME UP AND SAY SOMETHING YOU, THANK YOU.
UH,
WE'RE, WE'RE VERY PROUD OF THE WAY.
IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN OUT THERE RECENTLY, YOU REALLY OUGHT TO COME OUT AND TAKE A LOOK AT IT.
WE PUT IN, UH, CONCRETE BASED PICNIC TABLES AND BARBECUE AREAS AND, UM, THE AMENITY CENTER, AS TODD MENTIONED, IS GONNA BE, UH, CONSTRUCTED HERE SHORTLY.
AND WE'VE GOT THE DEVELOPER PLANS FOR THAT IN PROCESS.
SO IT'S TURNING INTO A GREAT COMMUNITY.
AND OUT OF THE A HUNDRED AND AROUND 147 LOTS IN PHASE ONE, I THINK WE HAVE 14 LEFT.
AND SO WE'RE MOVING INTO PHASE TWO BECAUSE WE WANT TO KEEP SATISFYING THE CUSTOMERS.
UM, BUT I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ANY OF YOU HAVE AT THIS TIME.
UM, TOM, I DO WANT SAY IT IS REALLY SHAPING UP TO BE AN AWESOME SUBDIVISION AND, YOU KNOW, THE, THE AMENITY CENTER, THE, YOU KNOW, TWO MILES WALKING TRAILS AND, UH, IT, IT IS REMARKABLE THAT YOU NEVER HEAR A SPECIAL TAXING DISTRICT COME UP
AND I APPRECIATE MORE THAN I CAN TELL YOU THAT Y'ALL ARE, YOU KNOW, THAT Y'ALL ARE, UH, DOING THIS WITHOUT, WITHOUT A SPECIAL TAX DISTRICT.
AND, UH, YOU KNOW, UH, IT WOULD SURE MAKE IT A LOT MORE ATTRACTIVE TO ME IF BY BY
I, I'LL SAY THAT THERE'S, UH, WE WERE DRIVING ALONG I 20 JUST YESTERDAY, PEOPLE DRIVING ALONG I 20, THEY WERE ON THEIR WAY OUT, UH, TO, UH, LOOK AT PROPERTY IN ANOTHER STATE AND THEY JUST STOPPED IN TO LOOK AT IT AND THEY CANCELED THEIR PLANS AND THEY SAID THIS, WE CAN'T DO ANY BETTER THAN THIS.
AND SO, SO THEY'RE TEXANS NOW.
AND THAT THAT'S HAPPENED SEVERAL, SEVERAL TIMES.
AND, UH, BUT IT'S, UH, IT REALLY IS A PLEASURE FOR US TO BE IN ULMAN COUNTY.
AND, UH, WE HOPE THAT THIS, UH, SHADOW LAKES IS GONNA ADD TO, UH, MUCH OF THE ALLURE KAUFMAN COUNTY ALREADY.
AND, AND MAYBE BIRD, YOU HAD SOME COMMENTS YOU WANTED TO ADD.
WELL, I'M HERE TO ADDRESS ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE FROM A ENGINEERING STANDPOINT.
BERNIE, HE FRANK WITH PBS AND JAY, BY THE WAY.
UH, IN OUR REVIEW, THE ENGINEERING PLANS THAT HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED TO DATE, UH, WE DON'T SEE ANY, UH, ENGINEERING ISSUES WITH REGARD TO, UH, THE COUNTY INFRASTRUCTURE THAT'S PROPOSED.
UH, AND, UH, TODD HAS ADDRESSED, UH, THE, UH, THE ONE REQUESTED, UH, UH, CONSIDERATION FOR THE LONGER CUL-DE-SACS.
[00:25:01]
UH, ONCE AGAIN, FROM AN ENGINEERING STANDPOINT, I DON'T, I DON'T SEE AN ISSUE WITH THAT.UH, THAT WOULD SEEM MORE OF A, UH, AN EMS UH, REVIEW CONSIDERATION.
AND I THINK THEY'VE GONE THROUGH THAT PROCESS AND, UH, HAVE SATISFIED FIRE MARSH.
SO, UH, IF THERE'S ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, UH, RELATED TO THEIR PROPOSAL, UH, THAT WE HAVE, I THINK, UH, I I LOVE THE, WHAT MAKES IT REALLY ATTRACTIVE, THE SIZE OF THE LOCK.
UH, SUBDIVISION PARK DENSITY REDUCES THAT DENSITY OUTSIDE OTHER AREAS ALSO, UH, UH, IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT IF THE SHERIFF NEEDED A SUBSTATION OUT THERE, IF HIS, HE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, HE CAN DRIVE STATION SOME PERSONNEL OUT THERE ON THE TEMPORARY BASIS OR FROM THE BASE EVERY, BUT HE WOULD BE, HE WOULD HAVE ACCESS TO THAT ACREAGE ALSO.
THAT'S WHAT KENNETH HAS ARRANGED THAT IS THAT THE FIRE DEPARTMENT HAS ALREADY BEEN DEEDED THE PROPERTY.
AND THEN, UH, THEY'RE GONNA WORK TOGETHER, I BELIEVE WITH THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT AND FIGURE OUT HOW WE COMBINE THAT FACILITY.
I THINK WE HAVE TO LEASE THE SHERIFF SINCE THIS GOES TO THE DISTRICT, BUT I'M NOT SURE HAPPEN UP BUILDING.
ALSO, HE DOES HAVE ONE GOOD, UH, CUSTOMER OUT THERE ALREADY CLEAR IN WOODS AND DALLAS HAS BOUGHT OUT THERE, SO WE'RE DOING SOMETHING RIGHT.
YOU'RE DEALINGS WITH US SINCE YOU'VE BEEN, SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE.
SO WE'RE, WE'RE VERY PLEASED WITH THE WAY IT LOOKS AND WE'RE HAPPY TO HAVE YOU ON BOARD.
SO MR. SHANE, YOU MAKE THE MOTION TO APPROVE THE PRELIMINARY PLAN OF SATELLITE S PHASE TWO.
CONSIDER PROVING THE DENTATION OF KIM BAKER FOR THE COMPTON COUNTY CONSTABLE PRECINCT TWO.
UH, UM, KIM KIM BAKER TO RESERV DEPUTY.
WE TALK ABOUT THE OF THE BUDGET DEAL.
UM, SHE'S, SHE'S QUALIFIED SHERIFF DEPARTMENT STILL WORKS THE SHERIFF DEPARTMENT AND IS A CERTIFIED PAPER PROCESSOR.
AND THAT'S WHAT WE NEED BECAUSE RIGHT NOW OUR PRECINCT AT THE 1ST OF NOVEMBER WAS 8% MORE PAPERS THAN WHAT WE DID LAST YEAR.
UM, AND WITH THE STAR PROGRAM, WE'VE GOT 2,430 HOURS THAT WE'VE ALREADY DONE.
THIS IS NOT COSTING US ANYTHING.
IT'S LESS THAN A THOUSAND DOLLAR THING.
UNIFORMS, SHE MEES OUR OWN WEAPON, OWN VEST.
ALL WE HAVE IS SHERIFF THE CAR WITH THE DEPUTY.

EVERYBODY HAS BEACH FRONT PROPERTY NOW.
THAT'S LAKE FRONT PROPERTY IS BEACH FRONT.
THEY BACK INTO THE, HAVE YOU SEEN THE EITHER? IS ANYBODY ELSE PAPER THIS MORNING SAID THERE 63% DOWN AND THAT'S OUR DRINKING WATER SUPPORT MOST.
THEY'RE STILL 16, 14, AND 15 FEET.
THAT DID Y'ALL, DID Y'ALL READ THE ARTICLES IN THE MORNING NEWS THIS MORNING ABOUT THE, UH, YOU KNOW, NORTH TEXAS AND ALONG WITH DALLAS TRYING TO FILTER, TAKE WATER OUTTA TRINITY AND FILTER THROUGH THE SYSTEM OVER THERE? OH YEAH.
AND UH, AND THEY'RE THINKING THAT THEY'RE AFRAID THAT LEGISLATURE'S NOT GONNA LET 'EM DO IT BECAUSE THEY WANT WATER DOWNSTREAM.
BUT I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT WAS ABOUT THAT.
THAT'S WHAT IT'S ABOUT BECAUSE THEY, THEY WANT TO TAKE THE WATER OUT AND REFILL
[00:50:01]
IT THROUGH THIS, SEND IT BACK IN THE BOTTOM.BUT THE PEOPLE DOWN THE STREAM DON'T WANT.
SO THEY'VE SURE DONE A LOT OF WORK OUT THERE TO NOT ALREADY HAVE THAT CLEAR THROUGH THE LEGISLA.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND EXACTLY HOW THAT WORKS OUT THERE? WETLANDS JUST ACT AS KIDNEYS TO CLEAN UP WATER.
BUT WHAT DOES IT FILTER THROUGH? I GRASS THROUGH GRASS.
THEY'VE BEEN PLANTING THAT GRASS A YEAR AND A HALF.
YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING, THAT THEY'VE SURE DONE A LOT OF WORK.
IT'S GONNA HAVE THING, LITTLE WATERFALL TYPE THING WHERE IT SLOWS THE WATER DOWN, THE SOLIDS WILL SETTLE OUT OF IT AND THE GRASS LIVES ON PHOSPHATES AND NITRATES.
WHEN IT GETS DOWN TO THE BIG POOL, THEY PUMP IT UP TO LAVONNE.
I KNEW THEY PUMPED IT TO LAVON.
I JUST DIDN'T SEE HOW IT GOT FILTERED THROUGH OVER THERE.
SO THEY WENT SOME KIND OF GRASS THAT'S TALL ENOUGH TO YEAH, THERE'S A BUNCH OF GRASS THERE.
