[00:00:05]
OKAY, ALL BRIEFLY BEEN PROVIDED A COPY OF THE MINUTES OF OUR LAST MEETING.
ARE THERE ANY ADDITIONS OR CORRECTIONS? IF THERE ARE NONE, WOULD ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE THOSE AS PRESENTED.
MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER DOLLAR, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER SHANE.
A MOTION CARRIED, UH, JUST FOR YOUR INFORMATION, UH, REPORT FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH.
UH, ON THE SECOND PAGE, YOU'LL NOTICE THE, UH,
UH, ALL OF THE DISEASES THAT WERE TREATED, I NOTICE ONE, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT, 25 CASES OF GONORRHEA AND I DIDN'T KNOW THAT THAT WAS IN CHILD, CHILD, MY IDEA.
TWO CASES, UH, POSITIVE RABIES.
UH, THREE DOWN THE BOTTOM IS, IS THE INTERESTING ONE.
THE IMMUNIZATIONS, UH, CHILDREN ZERO THROUGH 18 YEARS WERE 178.
UH, THE DOSE 19 AND F 93 VACCINATED FOR TOTAL VACCINATIONS.
FOUR FOUR TOTAL DOSE IS GIVEN FIVE 17.
ANYWAY, I JUST WANT TO LET Y'ALL KNOW THAT, UH, WE PROVIDE THEM WITH THAT OFFICE OUT THERE AND THAT, AND THAT IS A SPACE IS UTILIZED AND THAT WAS THE MAIN REASON FOR THE REPORT.
I'D LIKE GIVE A REPORT ON THE COUNTY FAIR LAST WEEK.
UH, THE CROWD WAS TREMENDOUS AFTER ALL THE WAY LONG, UH, WAY HELD OUT FOR US.
WE GOT FEW THINGS THAT, UH, JERRY'S GONNA WORK ON FOR THE DRAINAGE, SUPPORT, THE FOR FAIR, BUT, UH, CULMINATED SATURDAY NIGHT IN THE SALE AND SALE BROKE $201,000.
WHICH IS THE HIGHEST IT'S EVER BEEN.
AND I KNOW EVERYBODY ON THE COURT PARTICIPATED IN IT, ALONG WITH THE SHERIFF, RICK HARRISON, MR. MURPHY, A LOT OF OTHER ELECTED OFFICIALS.
IS THAT FIRST TIME IT'S EVER BEEN OVER 200? YES.
LAST YEAR WAS THE HIGHEST EVER BEEN, WAS HUNDRED 83.
HENDERSON COUNTY HAD THEIR CELL THE WAY PRIOR TO OURS, AND IT WAS NOT NEAR AS GOOD AS IT HAD IN THE PAST.
SO WE WERE ANTICIPATING OUR BEING DOWN BIT, BUT IT WAS, UH, RIGHT IN THE A HUNDRED PERCENT OF THAT MONEY GOES TO THE KIDS.
JERRY, YOU WANT TO TURN THAT MIC UP? YES.
SOMEBODY, I WANT HEAR THAT IN THE BACK.
UM, WE MADE OUT THERE A COUPLE TIMES, THREE TIMES WITH MY 4-YEAR-OLD GRANDSON OUT THERE, AND HE HAD A REALLY ENJOYED THE ANIMALS.
DID YOU KEEP YOUR VOICE ALL THE WAY THROUGH? NO.
I, I DID BETTER THIS YEAR THAN I DID LAST YEAR.
EVERY TIME I WENT OUT THERE, COMMISSIONER CLARK WAS ON THE MICROPHONE MAKING ANNOUNCEMENTS.
SO, LET'S SEE, UH, ITEM NUMBER THREE YOU SAID DISCUSS AND CONSIDER APPROVAL FOR CRIMINAL LOGISTICS TECHNOLOGY GRANT.
JUDGE, IT SAYS IT HAS TO BE UP BY THE APRIL 4TH.
[00:05:01]
HAVE WE ALREADY TURNED IT IN? I WOULD IMAGINE IT'S, UH, BEEN IN THIS EX SITUATION.IS ROBIN HERE? I DON'T SEE ANYBODY TODAY.
ANYWAY, ROBIN, THE KING WITH THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT IS THE ONE THAT'S MADE THE REQUEST.
THIS IS FOR A GRANT CRIMINAL JUSTICE GRANT.
AND, UH, I ALWAYS RECOMMEND THAT WE, UH, GO FOR THE GRANTS.
SO I DO A MOTION VOTE FOR THE GRANT FOR THE, UH, COMMISSIONER.
SOMETIMES THESE DEADLINES SLIP UP ON, PARTICULARLY ON SOME OF THESE GRANTS.
BECAUSE THEY DON'T REALIZE THEY DON'T, IT'S NOT ACCUSTOMED TO COMING TO COMMISSIONERS.
THEY DON'T REALIZE OUR TIME SCHEDULE TIMELINES, UH, DISCUSS AND CONSIDER RENEWING ANNUAL CONTRACT WITH VARIOUS GROUNDS FOR GROUNDS MAINTENANCE, JACK AMENDMENT.
UH, WE HAVE ONE RENEWAL LEFT ON THIS CONTRACT, BUT I WANT TO KNOW HOW YOU FELT ABOUT THIS THING.
UH, WE HAD A COUPLE HICCUPS HERE RECENTLY AND WE DO HAVE ONE LEFT OVER.
UH, WE WANNA MAKE SURE YOU WANNA RENEW RATHER THAN RE CLARK HAD A PROBLEM HERE, UH, LAST WEEK.
THAT WAS PROBABLY A COMMUNICATION PROBLEM.
NO, I, YOU KNOW, IT'S SO HARD TO FIND SOMEBODY THAT HAS ALL THE INSURANCE THAT WE'RE REQUIR, I THINK CAN DO ALL OF THAT.
UM, THIS WAS PROBABLY GOING TO BE 1,000 15,000 MORE THAN IT WAS LAST YEAR BECAUSE WE HAD SOME STUFF DEALT WITH JAIL AND, UH, STUFF OUT THAT IF, IF WE PUT OUT FOR, IS IT TIME TO REBID IT? WELL, IT'S TIME.
WE, WE HAVE ONE RENEWAL LEFT OVER.
UH, WE WERE, WE'RE UP TO ABOUT 26,000 ON THAT BID.
YEAH, I IMAGINE THERE'LL BE MORE THAN THAT THIS YEAR.
UH, I, I'M STILL A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED IN WHAT THEY PUT OUT UNDER THE FLAG POLE OUT THERE.
UH, YOU KNOW, ONLY ALL WE EVER SAID WAS THAT WE NEED SOME COLOR IN THERE.
UH, I'LL GET WITH 'EM THIS YEAR AND WORK LOT CLOSER.
I I THINK THAT NEEDS TO BE, HAVE A LOT MORE COLOR.
WHAT KIND OF PROBLEM DID YOU HAVE? OH, UH, SOME MORE THERE THAT WASN'T ON, WASN'T ON THEIR CONTRACT.
AND IT WAS A, UH, WE JUST ASKED HIM TO GO AHEAD AND MOW IT.
THEY DIDN'T HAVE IT ON THEIR LIST AND THE GUY SAID HE WAS GONNA MOW IT, BUT THEN THEY LEFT.
BUT HE MAY HAVE HAD A, HE MAY HAVE HAD A COMMITMENT THAT HE HAD MUCH SOMEWHERE ELSE.
SO JUST BECAUSE I TOLD HIM IT WAS OKAY FOR HIM MORE THAT DAY, THAT PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE TOLD HIM ABOUT A WEEK BEFORE THAT DAY.
AND I DON'T BELIEVE MR. HAD A PROBLEM LAST YEAR.
AGAIN, IT WAS KIND OF LIKE COMMUNICATED.
I'M NOT AGAINST PUTTING IT OUT FOR BIDS IF WE THINK THAT WILL HELP, BUT BOY, THERE ARE NOT MANY OF THOSE GUYS THAT HAVE, WE DO, ESPECIALLY THE WORKMAN'S COMP.
IF WE PUT THAT BID, WE, WE CAN RENEW IT AT THE SAME PRICE WE HAD LAST YEAR.
I, I HAVE A CLAUSE THERE FAR AS THE, UH, CPI OKAY.
ALLOW TO COME UP BID BASED ON THE COST INCREASES.
WOULD YOU NOT THAT IF WE GO OUT FOR BID, IT WOULD BE QUITE BIT HIGHER BECAUSE THE FUEL COSTS, I THINK BE SMART TO JUST KEEP IT IS JACK NEGOTIATE, UH, THE INCREASE IN THE AREA THAT'S GOT, AND I'LL GET WITH 'EM ABOUT DOING SOME MORE OUT THERE.
THAT, AND I'LL BE GLAD TO CALL IN.
SO WE ENTERTAIN A MOTION THEN TO, UH, COMMISSIONER SHANE, MAKE CONTRACT, UH, NEGOTIATE A NEW CON, UH, CONTINUED RENEW, RENEW, RENEW.
RENEW THE CONTRACT WITH OUR CURRENT GROUNDSKEEPER AND COMMISSIONER SHANE MADE THAT MOTION.
SECOND COMMISSIONER ROW SECONDS.
UH, WE WANT DISCUSS, CONSIDER PATCHING ROADS IN THE CITY OF ACROSS OBJECTIONS.
DO WE NEED A MOTION TO TAKE? YEAH, I MADE, I SECOND IT.
WHAT'S THE HOLD UP OVER? SHE PROBABLY HEAR A THANK YOU.
[00:10:02]
NOW LET'S DISCUSS PATCHING SOME HOLES AND ROSTER.WE NEED TO PATCH SOME HOLES AND ROSTER AND I MAKE THAT MOTION.
SECOND MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER.
DO I NEED TO AUTHORIZE A MOTION TO AUTHORIZE THE JUDGE TO SIGN THE, WOULD THAT BE MORE APPROPRIATE? NO.
IF YOU, UH, IF Y'ALL PASS THIS AUTHORIZING, TAXING THE ROADS, THEN I'LL SIGN.
COMMISSIONER DI MADE THE MOTION.
AND THIS, OKAY, NOW WE WANT TO DISCUSS AND CONSIDER A COURSE OF ACTION REGARDING COUNTY ASSISTANCE DISTRICT.
JIM, YOU REQUESTED THAT TO BE ON THE AGENDA? YES.
THE, UH, THE LATEST CHANGE TO 3 87 LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE AUTHORIZES THE COUNTY TO GO OUT TO THE VOTERS AND REQUEST A SALES TAX.
A HALF A PERCENT TO BE USED FOR A NUMBER OF ITEMS. ONE OF THEM HAPPENS TO BE ROAD MAINTENANCE.
UH, I'D LIKE TO, UH, TAKE SOME ACTION OR GET THE PROPER WORDING TO PUT IT ON THE BALLOT.
AND I BELIEVE IT HAS TO BE FINISHED BY NOVEMBER.
NO, IT HAS TO BE BY SEPTEMBER TO BE ON THE NOVEMBER BALLOT.
UH, AND I'LL, I'LL WORK WITH OUR, UH, CIVIL MAN OVER HERE TO, TO GET THE APPROPRIATE WORD.
WHERE'S, I'VE SEEN SOMEBODY BACK HERE.
WHEN DOES IT HAVE TO BE? IN 60 DAYS PRIOR.
HALF A SIN DEDICATED TO, UH, ROAD MAINTENANCE.
UH, COMMISSIONER CLARK AND I HAVE BEEN DOING WELL.
I'VE BEEN DOING ALL THE TALKING.
UH, AND WHAT DID WE CALCULATE? WHAT DID YOU CALCULATE APPROXIMATELY? WELL, IT'S KIND OF AN ESTIMATE ON IT, BUT, UH, GETTING THE SALES TAX FIGURES FROM THE COMPTROLLER'S OFFICE IS PRETTY INTERESTING.
UH, THE GROSS SALES IN KAMAN COUNTY, UH, WITH ALL CITIES AND THE COUNTY INCLUDED IS 1,000,000,004 94 MILLION TAXABLE ON THAT WAS $335 MILLION FROM ALL CITIES.
THEY DON'T HAVE THE FIGURES AVAILABLE FOR UNINCORPORATED AREAS.
THEY'VE GOT FIGURES AVAILABLE FOR THE ENTIRE COUNTY.
THEN THEY'VE GOT THE FIGURES AVAILABLE FOR EACH CITY.
SO I TOOK ALL THE CITY'S SUBTRACTED SALES TAXES SUBTRACTED FROM THE COUNTY.
IT CAME OUT WITH SOME TYPE OF A NUMBER.
IT LOOKED LIKE IT COMES ABOUT $56 MILLION WORTH OF TAXABLE SALES, TAXABLE, UH, INCOME THAT WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN THIS PROGRAM FOR US.
AND A HALF SAMPLE FEE ABOUT, I'M SORRY, $11,258,000.
IT CREATES ABOUT $56,000 TO DATE.
AND THAT WAS USUALLY IN 2006 NUMBERS.
IF THERE'S GOING TO BE QUITE A FEW OF THESE DISTRICTS ABOVE DISTRICTS THAT ARE COMING IN, THEY'RE GONNA BE IN UNINCORPORATED AREAS.
THEY'RE GONNA HAVE SOME RETAIL AND SOME COMMERCIAL PROJECTS IN THOSE, UH, THIS, THIS NUMBER COULD ONLY INCREASE THOSE TO ME.
LIKE WHEN THESE MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT, WHAT CONTROL DISTRICTS START PUTTING THEIR COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES IN, THEY'RE NOT GONNA HAVE TO PAY CITY SALES TAXES.
SO THIS MONEY WOULD BE, WELL, THIS MONEY IS AVAILABLE AND DIRECTLY ALLOCATED.
ROCKWELL DOES BEFORE THERE'S POLICE, SOME TYPE OF POLICE PROTECTION.
THERE'S ONLY TWO COUNTIES IN THE STATE THAT ARE DOING RIGHT NOW.
ONE OF THEM IN OH ONE WAS HI COUNTY.
I THINK, YOU KNOW, BACK IN THE MID EIGHTIES WHEN THE COUNTIES WERE AUTHORIZED TO DO A SALES TAX, UH, COLTON COUNTY OPTED OUT OF IT BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T WANT TO TAX THE PEOPLE MORE.
AND AS A RESULT THAT HAD IN THE LAST 20 YEARS, IT'S NOT A MATTER OF TAX PAY, SALES TAX ANYWAY.
WELL, THIS IS JUST A LITTLE HALF PERCENT MORE.
IT REALLY WON'T AFFECT ANYBODY WITHIN THE MUNICIPALITY.
NO, THEY'LL STAY EXACTLY SAME TAX.
[00:15:01]
THEY BUY SOMETHING OUT, THEY GO OUT THERE, THEY GO OUT AND THEY IN THE COUNTY BUY.IT'S KIND OF CATCH UP FOR BACK IN THE EIGHTIES WHEN YOU REALLY DIDN'T OPT INTO THE PROGRAM.
WHY DON'T WE, UH, UH, I TAKE A MOTION THEN TO, UH, UH, AUTHORIZE, UH, COMMISSIONER LER AND COMMISSIONER CLARK ALONG WITH, UH, JOHN TO UH, WORK ON THIS AND COME BACK WITH A REPORT, UH, IN A FEW WEEKS.
THAT'S WHY WE, IF WE DO IT IN A FEW WEEKS AND GO AHEAD AND PASS THE ORDER AND GET IT DONE AND GET ALL THAT BEHIND US.
BUT I'D LIKE TO KNOW A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT IT BECAUSE I WAS UNDER THEM PRESENT UNTIL Y'ALL CORRECTED ME THAT THERE WAS A WINDOW THERE THAT YOU HAD TO DO IT WITHIN A CERTAIN PERIOD OF TIME WHERE YOU WAIVED YOUR RIGHT TO DO IT LIKE IT WAS BACK IN THE EIGHTIES.
THIS, THIS, THIS HAS TO GO OUT TO THE VOTERS.
UH, IF WE COULD HAVE DONE IT, WE DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO DO IT.
MAY, UH, SO WE GOTTA GET IN BY SEPTEMBER.
WELL I TO STUDY THAT AND BRING BACK REPORT.
ALL IN FAVOR MS ON THAT COMMITTEE.
NOW LET'S DISCUSS APPROVING THE CURR SCURRY POST OFFICE TO INSTALL A CLUSTER BOX ON COUNTY RIGHT AWAY AT NORTH THIRD AND LANE AVENUE.
JIM? YES, I TALKED TO THE POSTMAN JUST IN, UH, SCURRY AND BECAUSE OF THE TRAFFIC AND EVERYTHING, THEY WOULD LIKE TO PUT A CLUSTER BOX ON OUR RIGHT OF WAY OFF OF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, UH, FOR THE MAIL FOR THAT AREA.
AND, UH, A CLUSTER BOX BEING A WHOLE BUNCH OF BOXES.
MAIL WHOLE BUNCH OF THEM, YOU KNOW, A HALF A DOZEN BOXES.
I TOLD HER I DIDN'T THINK THERE'D BE A PROBLEM, BUT I WOULD BRING IT UP TO THE COMMISSIONER'S COURT BECAUSE IT WAS ON THE COUNTY RIGHT OF WAY.
AND I MAKE A MOTION TO AUTHORIZED THE CITY OF CURR.
I DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH THAT.
A EXCEPT IT WOULDN'T BE THE AUTHORIZING CITY OF CURR BE AUTHORIZED.
AYE, UH, JIM, YOU'RE STILL UP.
CONSIDER COURSE OF AXON KAUFMAN HENDERSON COUNTY LINE, UH, TRANSPORTATION CODE 2 58.
CHAPTER 2 58 TOLD US, UH, TO DECIDE WHICH COUNTY ROADS FOR MAINTENANCE WAS OURS.
AND DURING THIS TIME I INVESTIGATED AND FOUND THAT THE KAUFMAN HENDERSON COUNTY LINE WAS OFF BY ABOUT 30 ACRES.
THERE'S ABOUT FIVE ROADS THAT ARE NOT IN KAUFMAN COUNTY.
THAT INVESTMENT ESSENCE, THEY ARE IN HENDERSON COUNTY.
UH, MADE A TRIP TO, UH, AUSTIN, TO THE, UH, GENERAL LAND OFFICE.
IN FACT WITH, UH, WHAT THAT, UH,
UH, SUBSEQUENT TO THAT, I'VE HAD A MEETING WITH THE COUNTY JUDGE IN HENDERSON COUNTY, DAVID HOLSTEIN.
HE AGREES THAT THE LINE SHOULD BE STRAIGHT AS IS THE GLO.
UH, ALL THE COMMISSIONERS AGREE DOWN THERE.
THEY JUST NEED A LEGAL DOCUMENT SAYING WE AGREE THAT THE LINE IS STRAIGHT AND I HAVE ALL THE RESEARCH DATA AND I, WE'VE ALREADY SET UP A MEETING, UH, THURSDAY AT NINE O'CLOCK IN MY OFFICE WITH ALL THE DATA.
WE'LL SIT DOWN AND WITH THE TASK FIRE DA TO DO THAT.
SO I MAKE A MOTION, WE TAKE ACTION TO CORRECT THE HENDERSON COFFIN COUNTY LINE JURY WILL SECONDED.
MOTION JURY TODAY, CARRIE, THE LAST, UH, WE'VE GOT SOME ISSUE ON WE DALLAS COUNTY SIDE OVER THERE TO DO A SURVEY.
THE LAST SURVEY THAT WAS DONE BY DALLAS COUNTY ON THE NORTHERN BOUNDARY IN 1980 COST HIM $500,000 IN 1980 TO DO A SURVEY.
I TALKED TO, UH, GREG SERVIN ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND HE SAYS IT WOULD COST BETWEEN 30 AND $40,000
[00:20:02]
TO SURVEY THAT MONEY.THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GONNA TRY TO DO, DO THAT AND VOTE ON, THEY'VE ALL AGREED, ALL WE NEED IS SOME LEGAL DOCUMENT SAYING IT.
SEE, WE CAN'T, WE WON'T BE ABLE TO DO THIS UNTIL MAKE IT EFFECTIVE ONE JANUARY BECAUSE WE HAVE VOTERS, TAXPAYERS, APPRAISAL DISTRICT, UH, SO WE'VE GOT TO GET OUR DUCKS LINED UP ONE JANUARY.
WE CAN MAKE IT EFFECTIVE BECAUSE THAT'S WHEN THE APPRAISALS AND THE VOTERS AND EVERYTHING ELSE IS GONNA CHANGE.
YEAH, NOBODY SEEMS TO KNOW WHEN THIS HAPPENED, BUT THE GENERAL LAND OFFICE SHOWED US THE MOUND.
THEY SAID, SEE THAT, THAT LINE STRAIGHT ACROSS AS FAR AS GENERAL LAND OFFICE GOES, THAT'S THE LINE.
AND WHATEVER KAUFMAN AND HENDERSON COUNTY DID 30, 40 OR 50, 60 YEARS AGO OR WHENEVER IT WAS, THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT.
THEY DON'T WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT.
THEY SAID WE DON'T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING 'CAUSE THAT LINE'S STRAIGHT ALREADY.
BUT AS JIM SAYS, THERE ARE SOME COMPLICATIONS IN THERE.
SO IF WE PASS THIS ORDER THEN, AND IT'S JUST WORKING OUT THE FINAL DETAILS.
JOE HALL IS THE COMMISSIONER AND BECAUSE HE WON, HE WON REELECTION.
HE SAYS JUST GIVE ME A LEGAL DOCUMENT SO I CAN GO WITH IT.
THIS IS NOT LIKE A SUBDIVISION WHERE EVERYBODY IN THERE'S AFFECTED BY HAS TO SIGN OFF ON IT.
THE, THE LINE ACTUALLY GOES LIKE THIS.
AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE PROPERTY OWNERS, SOMEBODY DID NOT WANT TO BE IN ANDERSON COUNTY.
SO THEY TOOK THAT LINE AND BROUGHT IT DOWN AND BROUGHT IT BACK UP.
SO THAT'S ONE OF THE PROBLEMS. IS THAT THE CORNER? WAS IT THE NORTHEAST CORNER? THE IRON ROD IS AT THE BOTTOM OF SEA CREEK LAKE.
SO, UH, THAT, THAT'S KIND OF MADE IN SOUTHEAST CORNER.
HARD TO SAY SOUTHEAST BECAUSE THE NORTHEAST CORNER'S IN, UH, UH, LAKE RIGHT BERT SOUTHEAST COAST.
SEE THIS, UH, THIS BRINGS UP ONE MORE THING THAT JUST SO HAPPENS THAT THAT UH, BAPTIST CHURCH THERE ON 2 74 IS A VOTING LOCATION.
SO WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO GO OUT AND GET APPROVAL FOR ANOTHER VOTING LOCATION ONCE THIS, ONCE ONE, JANUARY, JANUARY.
WE JUST MAKE SURE WE DO IT EARLY ENOUGH WHERE ANGIE CAN GET IT TO WASHINGTON.
DISCUSSING, CONSIDER PROCLAIMING THE WEEK OF APRIL 6TH TO APRIL 12TH AS COUNTY GOVERNMENT WEEK AND
UM, WE DON'T HAVE THOSE LITTLE DEALS OVER HERE.
DO WE BRING, YOU KNOW WHAT COUNTY GOVERNMENT DOES?
I'VE GOT, UH, ORDERS FROM TEXAS ASSOCIATION COUNTY AND WE JUST HADN'T DISTRIBUTED THEM YET.
UM, WE, WE HAVEN'T REALLY GOT THEM EXCEPT, EXCEPT, OKAY, EVERY, WE DELIVER WORK SOUTH CAMPUS.
SO IT'S OVER HERE IN THE FOYER.
THEN THERE'S, UH, A LITTLE DISPLAY THERE WITH, UH, BROCHURES TO, UH, WHAT COUNTY GOVERNMENT PROVIDES FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE COUNTY.
AND THEN I'LL GET THAT DOWN TO THE SOUTH CAMPUS.
I'VE SEEN THAT BEFORE AND IT'S, IT'S PRETTY UNBELIEVABLE WHEN YOU SIT OUT AND READ ALL THE STUFF THAT AVAILABLE.
IT'S KIND OF LATE TO PLANT IT THIS YEAR, BUT, UH, ONE YEAR WE HAD, UH, UH, AN OPEN HOUSE ON A, UH, SATURDAY OR SUNDAY.
THINK THAT SUNDAY, IT WAS ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON.
WE HAD THE COURTHOUSE OPEN FROM NOON UNTIL FOUR O'CLOCK.
UH, JUST THE PEOPLE DOWNSTAIRS PARTICIPATED.
THAT WAS BACK IN THE DAYS WHERE THERE WERE CERTAIN INDIVIDUALS UPSTAIRS AND CERTAIN INDIVIDUALS DOWNSTAIRS.
AND THE INDIVIDUALS UPSTAIRS DID NOT EVER DO ANYTHING THAT THE INDIVIDUALS DOWNSTAIRS PARTICIPATED IN.
SO WE HAD AN OPEN HOUSE, BUT IT WAS NOT OPEN UPSTAIRS.
UH, ANYWAY, WE HAD AN OPEN HOUSE, UH, HAD REFRESHMENTS.
UH, I THINK WE FIGURED IT WAS ABOUT FOUR.
OH, PEOPLE WENT THROUGH THE COURTHOUSE THAT AFTERNOON, WASN'T THERE, MARY, ABOUT THAT? IT WAS A WHOLE BUNCH OF 'EM THERE.
AND UH, AND THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING TO CONSIDER.
LIKE I SAY, WE DIDN'T THINK ABOUT IT PLANNING EARLY ENOUGH THIS YEAR, BUT NOW I GUARANTEE THE PEOPLE UPSTAIRS GET ALONG WITH THE PEOPLE DOWNSTAIRS NOW.
AND SO EVERYBODY WOULD PARTICIPATE WHEN WE DO THE NEXT ONE.
THAT'S SOMETHING TO REMEMBER FOR NEXT YEAR.
AND THEN WE COULD, UH, YOU INDIVIDUAL, UH, COMMISSIONERS COULD KEEP YOUR OWN SUB COURTHOUSE OPEN THAT DAY AND GREET PEOPLE AND, BUT SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT FOR NEXT YEAR.
WE'LL START PLANNING A LITTLE EARLIER NEXT YEAR.
WE DIDN'T HAVE A GOOD TURNOUT THAT
[00:25:01]
TIME, EVEN THOUGH UPSTAIRS WAS NOT OPEN.WE ORDERED THE SAME GROCERIES.
UH, WELL, UH, I ENTERTAIN MOST THIS WEEK THROUGH MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER CLARK, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER LER, UH, TO DECLARE THAT THIS COUNTY GOVERNMENT WEEK IN KAMAN COUNTY.
UH, NEXT WE HAVE DISCUSSED, CONSIDER RENEWING OUR MEMBERSHIP WITH THE NORTH EAST TEXAS COUNTY JUDGES AND COMMISSIONER ASSOCIATION.
UH, MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER ER, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER SHANE.
IN CASE THE PRESS IS WONDERING THAT THAT MEMBERSHIP FEE IS 125 DEAL.
PRETTY GOOD DEAL FOR WHAT WE GET OUTTA IT.
