UH, THE OTHER ONE WILL BE, THEY WILL BE AT THE PRECINCT BARNS AND IN COMMISSIONER SHANE'S DISTRICT, OBVIOUSLY ON ONE OF THE NEW BARN LOCATION ON 4 29.
THESE WILL BE OPEN DURING REGULAR COUNTY HOURS.
WE MIGHT WANT TO ADDRESS THE OPENING OF THEM ON ONE OR TWO SATURDAYS A MONTH FOR THE CONVENIENCE OF OTHER COUNTY CITIZENS OR OTHER COUNTY CITIZENS.
RECYCLING EDUCATION WILL BEGIN IN SEPTEMBER FOR CITIZENS AND SCHOOL AGED CHILDREN.
WE ALSO WORK WITH TRINITY VALLEY COMMUNITY COLLEGE TO GET OUR MESSAGE OUT TO COLLEGE STUDENTS.
THIS IS SOMETHING WE HAVE JUST NOTICED THAT THIS IS JUST SOME PLACE WE HAVE NOT PUT ANY EMPHASIS RECENTLY.
THE SECOND GRANT, THE STOP ILLEGAL DUMPING PROJECT.
WE DID NOT RECEIVE GRANT FUNDING FOR THIS.
WE ASKED FOR FUNDING FOR REPRINTING OF MATERIALS, DECALS, THE MATERIALS FOR THE CITIZENS ON PATROL GROUP THAT THE ABATEMENT OFFICERS WORK WITH AND MORE FENCE
[00:05:01]
MANNERS AND UPDATING OUR WEBSITE.AND WE HAVE SOME STOCK OF THIS MATERIAL USED AND WE WILL DO AS MUCH AS WE CAN AND MAKE THAT GO AS FAR AS WE CAN.
BUT THAT'S, WE SIMPLY DID NOT GET THAT GRANT.
WE ARE BEING ASKED, AND COMMISSIONER DE HAS TALKED TO THIS PERSON, I BELIEVE TO THE NORTH TEXAS COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS IS ASKING US TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS ENTIRE REMEDIATION PILOT PROJECT.
AND THAT'S THAT SECOND BATCH OF MATERIAL THAT I HAVE GAVE YOU.
MARILYN FILLED OUT A COPY OF THEIR SURVEY AND IT SENT BACK.
WE HAVE A COPY OF THAT AVAILABLE.
THE ENVIRONMENTAL CO-OP IS REQUESTING APPROVAL FOR THE LETTER FOR THE COMMISSIONER'S COURT TO SIGN A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE NORTH TEXAS COUNCIL OF GOVERNANCE AND THE COUNTY OUTLINING THE TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT SUPPLIED THE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION REQUIREMENTS DROP OFF LOCATIONS, PROCEDURES FOR DELIVERIES, TIRES, ET CETERA.
THE COUNTY TRANSPORTING THE COLLECTED TIRES WERE DESIGNATED LOCATIONS WITHIN THE DALLAS FORT WORTH REGION IN ACCORD AGREED UPON AND SPECIFICATION AND ESTIMATION OF THE NUMBER OF HIRES THE COUNTY CAN AND IS WILLING TO DELIVER TO THE DESIGNATED DROP OFF LOCATIONS.
AND OUR UPCOMING EVENTS, GENTLEMEN ARE THE TALKING COUNTY TRI TRINITY RIVER TRASH.
THE CEDAR CREEK LAKE CLEANUP WILL MEET AT MAYBANK RODEO AT NINE O'CLOCK CLEANING ON COUNTY ROAD 4,006.
AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL CO-OP IS REQUESTING PRECINCT FOUR HELP WITH THE TRASH TRAILER AND AN EMPLOYEE OF THOSE TWO CLEANERS.
THAT GENTLEMAN IS THE BASIS OF OUR REPORT.
ALRIGHT, ANY QUESTION, QUESTIONS OF DR.
I JUST WANNA SAY OUR, UH, OUR TRASH TRAILER IS BEING USED BY THE SHERIFF AND HIS COUNTY WIDE CLEAN UP UHHUH.
I'LL HAVE TO TALK TO HIM AND SEE IF WE CAN GET IT FOR A DATE, BUT RIGHT.
I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT.
UH, WE'LL, WE'LL TAKE CARE OF THAT.
THANK YOU FOR Y'ALL'S CONTINUOUS WORK IN THIS AREA.
UH, I A LITTLE MORE ON THIS SAME SUBJECT.
THIS, UH, MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT, UH, ALMOST ACTS LIKE A RESOLUTION, BUT SOME OF THE QUESTIONS THAT, ONE OF THE QUESTIONS I GUESS THAT THEY, THEY DIDN'T HAVE AN ANSWER TO WAS THE NUMBER OF TIRES THAT YOU CAN PUT IN 48 FOOT TRAILER.
OUR EXPERIENCE IS SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 900 AND THOUSAND AND 48 FOOT TRAILER.
IF THEY GIVE US A 53 FOOT TRAILER ANYWHERE BETWEEN 11 AND 12 TRAILER, I HAVE TO CALL, HAVE TO CALL THIS GENTLEMAN BACK ABOUT THAT BECAUSE THAT WAS ONE ON THIS MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT.
UH, DEPENDING ON HOW YOU TRACK THE TIRE, OBVIOUSLY A TRACTOR TIRE VERSUS A CAR THERE.
I'LL, IF WE'LL GET THIS ON THE AGENDA TO THIS MEMORANDUM AFTER, GET SOME ISSUES WORKED OUT, I'LL, I'LL TAKE CARE OF THIS ISSUE.
I WHAT I, WE MAY HAVE CASE, WE MAY HAVE TO PURCHASE HAUL.
YOU GET THESE USED TRAILERS, BOX TRAILERS, 48 53 FOOT PROBABLY BETWEEN 25 AND 35.
AND IT COST US 11 TO HAVE ONE TRAILER HAUL OFF.
SO YEAR MONTHLY CHARGE PER TRAILER.
I THINK LAST YEAR COST 800 BUCKS.
IT ESCALATED GOING DOES JACK, DON'T WE HAVE A PLAUSIBLE ISSUE WITH OUR CURRENT TIRE DISPOSAL? WELL, WE CURRENTLY HAVE SOMETHING COME UP ON THAT.
THAT IS THE STATE NOT RENEW THAT CONTRACT.
APPARENTLY THE RENEW THAT CONTRACT NOW WE'RE, WE'RE NOT SPENDING 25 IN YEARS TIME.
SO WE, WE COULD STAY WITH THAT VENDOR OR WE NEW APPROPRIATE GET FOR FREE.
[00:10:01]
GET, WE'LL GET, OKAY.NEXT WE HAVE, PARDON? ACCEPT THE REPORT.
WE'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO ACCEPT THAT, UH, REPORT FROM THANK YOU.
OUR NEXT ITEM ON AGENDA IS MURPHY.
IN THE GENERAL FUND THROUGH JULY, WE COLLECTED 26.4 MILLION OF THE CURRENT AND 650,000 OF THE DELINQUENT IN THE ROAD BRIDGE.
3.6 MILLION OF THE CURRENT AND 90 PUTS US ON A ROAD AND FINISHING OUT, THAT'S SOMETHING OVER 96% FOR THE END OF THE YEAR.
ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? OBJECTIONS? IF THERE ARE NONE, UH, AMEND BY COMMISSIONER.
SECOND BY COMMISSIONER ALL THEN THIRD SAY AYE.
OUR NEXT ITEM IS DISCUSSED AND CONSIDER CONDEMNATIONS ON TRACKS 11 D AND 12 D OF FARM ROAD 5 98 PROJECT.
UH, WITHOUT GOING INTO THE HISTORY OF A GREAT DEAL, LET'S JUST, UH, SAY THAT AS OF THIS POINT IN TIME, UH, THESE TWO PROJECT, UH, THESE TWO TRACKS HAVE NOT BEEN, UH, COMPLETED.
AND THE STATE WANTS TO WRITE A CONTRACT IN DECEMBER, IS THAT RIGHT? CORRECT.
AND UH, SO THIS DOESN'T PRECLUDE AN AGREEMENT BEING REACHED, OF COURSE.
SO WHAT THIS WILL DO, THIS WILL START THE PROCESS WHERE THE STATE CAN GO AHEAD AND DO THEIR WORK AND THEN IF WE HAVE TO, UH, REACH AN AGREEMENT ON THESE PROJECTS LATER, OR EVEN IF IT GOES TO A JURY JOB, IT WON'T UP TO CONTRACT.
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO.
AND WHAT IT IS, IT'S UH, UH, YOU'VE GOTKIN FOLKS, KIN FOLKS, KIN FOLKS WHO DON'T KNOW WHAT THE OTHER KIN FOLKS DID AND NOW IT'S IN THEIR HANDS AND IT'S, IT'S NOT A WHOLE LOT OF MONEY, IT'S JUST, UH, JUST, JUST A PROCESS OF GETTING THERE.

YOU TO KNOW WHY SHE CANNOT BECAUSE WHY?[00:47:23]
COMMISSIONER HUSAIN MAKES THE MOTION AND COMMISSIONER ROW SECOND THAT MOTION? ALL AYE.NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS REMARKS FROM VISITORS.
FIRST PERSON WE HAVE THAT'S SIGNED UP, UH, TO SPEAK IS GEORGE ROSSI.
WHO WANTS TO TALK ABOUT MARY? I DON'T BELIEVE ON.
UH, WE HAVE IS SARAH WHITAKER WANTS TO TALK ABOUT MARY
ALRIGHT, NEXT ONE WE HAVE IS KAREN PRAT.
UH, SHE WANTS TO TALK TO US ABOUT UH, SIGN AND MAP ISSUES.
MS. LIVES AT, UH, 9 7 0 1 COUNTY ROAD 3 0 9.
AND IF YOU LOOK AT SOME MAPS, YOU PROBABLY WON'T FIND IT
IT'S THE OLD WILSON ROAD AND THAT'S THE ISSUE.
UH, IT CAME TO OUR ATTENTION NOVEMBER OF OH SIX WHEN I CALLED NINE ONE ONE REGARDING A BIRTH OR THEY COULDN'T IDENTIFY US, WE DIDN'T EXIST.
I HAD TO GIVE THEM OLD, YOU KNOW, IT'S THE OLD WILSON ROAD.
GIVE 'EM LANDMARKS AND EVERYTHING TO SOMEBODY COULD SEND THE SHOWER OUT.
UH, AND I GUESS IT HASN'T CHANGED.
UH, STILL IF YOU LOOK AT ANY MAPS, ANY CLINIC MAPS, 99% OF THEM GO ONLINE.
UH, YOU RECEIVE, CAN'T RECEIVE PACKAGES BECAUSE IT DOESN'T EXIST.
YOU HAVE, YOU'RE LUCKY YOUR PHONE NUMBER DOWN IN DIRECTION.
WE'RE A FIGMENT OF SOMEBODY'S IMAGINATION.
IS THIS NOT ON THE NEW, IS IT NOT LISTED ON THE NEW COUNTY ROADMAP THAT WE JUST COMPLETED LAST YEAR? TERRELL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE HAS A NEW MAP THAT I RECEIVED LAST YEAR THAT HASN'T, OKAY.
SO THE COUNTY COUNTY'S SPENT A WHOLE LOT OF MONEY AT THAT MANDATE FROM THE STATE OF TEXAS TO MAKE SURE ALL OF OUR COUNTY MAPS WERE UPDATED.
AND SO WE HAD A LAW FIRM OUT OF AUSTIN TO COME IN AND HELP US WITH IT.
AND EACH COMMISSIONER AND THAT LAW FIRM WORKED TOGETHER AND CAME UP WITH, UH, THE FINAL LAST MAP.
THEY MIGHT NEED TO LOOK AT IT AGAIN.
THE MAP OFFICIAL COUNTY, YOU'RE SAYING THAT ONE ON ONLY THREE, THREE ON THAT MM-HMM
[00:50:01]
WILSON ROAD ALSO WITH THE HIGHWAY SIGNS AND YOU GET OFF THE HIGHWAY, IT SHOWS WILSON ROAD SOUTH ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF FOR TO GO SOUTH FROM THE HIGHWAY AND IT'S WILSON ROAD NORTH.UM, AND WE GET A LOT OF TRAFFIC.
WE CAN'T CONTROL WHAT THE STATE I KNOW, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU CONTACT TO GET STUFF DONE.
THE AREA ENGINEER IS, UH, JAN.
AND HER OFFICE IS HERE IN KAUFMAN ON SOUTH 34TH.
SHE TAKES CARE OF EVERYTHING IN COFFMAN AND ROCKWELL CAMPUS.
ALSO, WE GET A LOT OF TRUCK TRAFFIC.
WE'RE TALKING SEMIS, TRAILERS THAT GO UP, TURN AROUND, COME BACK THE HIGHWAY.
I WAS WONDERING ABOUT SIGN THERE THEY ROAD TRUCK ROUTE AIRPORT ROAD TO 80, 34 AND 20.
PEOPLE DON'T OBEY THE SPEED LIMIT.
THEY DON'T LIVE THERE HOPING TO GET SOMEWHERE COMES BACK DOWN AND THINGS.
THAT WAS ONE RECOMMENDED THING I THOUGHT OF THAT WE CUT DOWN ON SOME OF THE TRAFFIC, SOME OF THE DIRT, UH, A LOT OF MAINTENANCE THAT NEEDS DONE BECAUSE OF.
IS THERE A BRIDGE ON THAT? UH, NO.
WE HAVE THREE OR FOUR HOLDERS BECAUSE THE ONLY, THE ONLY TIME THE COUNTIES CAN REGULATE TRUCK TRAFFIC IF THERE IS A, A BRIDGE ON THAT AND WE CAN PUT A WEIGHT LIMIT ON THAT BRIDGE.
WE CAN'T CONTROL TRUCKS OTHERWISE ON.
SEE A LOT OF THIS IS IS STILL BUILT WITH THE STATE THAN COUNTY.
COUNTY AUTHORITY IS VERY LIMITED.
AND I DON'T MEAN TO BE TAKING OUT PRECINCT PRECINCT'S VERY SIMILAR TO THAT.
EVERYBODY THAT'S GOING DOWN 20, YOU KNOW, THAT'S LOCKED UP MUCH OF THE TIME.
THEY LOOK ON THEIR GPS AND THEY SEE, UH, ON OVER ON OUR SIDE COUNTY ROAD ONE 20 THAT RUNS DOWN ALL THE WAY BACK OVER 2 4 3.
SO THOSE BIG TRUCKS COME THERE AND TRY TO GO DOWN ONE 20, WHICH IS ABOUT 13 FEET WIDE, YOU KNOW.
AND UH, WE PUT SIGNS UP AT THE END OF OUR ROAD UP THERE, SAY, YOU KNOW, ROAD IMPASSABLE IN THERE.
YOU KNOW, WE PUT A BUNCH OF, AND OF COURSE KIDS COME OFF AND STILL SIGNS AND THEIR DOGS IT KIND ROUGH SITUATION.
MY SON HAS BEEN RUNNING OFF THE ROAD A COUPLE TIMES ON HIS MOTORCYCLE AND MY HUSBAND HAS DRIVEWAY.
AND ONE THING YOU TO GET THERE WHERE IS WHERE WILSON ROAD IS, IT DOES CARRY A LOT OF TRAFFIC ALSO.
I, I NOTICED ONE OF THE CODE, DO YOU MIND MAKE SUGGESTION THAT YOU CALL THE CONSTABLE AND PRECINCT AND UH, HE MAY GO OUT THERE AND TRY TO SOME OF THE SPEED BECAUSE HE CAN'T BE ALL OVER THE PRECINCT.
IT NOT, THE SHERIFF CAN'T BE ALL THE COUNTY.
WELL, I DID LOCATE WHERE ONE OF THE SPEEDERS IS AND I'M GONNA CONTACT THEIR BOSS.
IT'S ONE OF THE RANCHES AND LET HIM KNOW THAT, UH, HE MIGHT, THEY'RE DRIVING TRUCK THIS DISCUSSION AND SHE SAID, CAN I COME TO COMMISSIONER'S COURT? AND I SAID, YOU'RE WELCOME.
MAY NOT SAY WE TOTALLY DISCUSSED THIS.
SO, UH, ALSO THIS JUST CAME UP SATURDAY NIGHT.
A FRIEND, UH, ONE OF THE OTHER RESIDENTS ON THE ROAD WAS LEAVING ABOUT SEVEN O'CLOCK AND THERE WAS A WHITE TRUCK PARKED BETWEEN THEIR PLACE AND HER 29TH THINKING BURGLARY.
SHE WROTE DOWN WHILE THEY WENT ON BACK PUPPIES, NINE
[00:55:01]
SMALL PUPS HAD BEEN DUMPED.TARRELL CITY HAND TOOK THEM SUNDAY MORNING AND THE INFORMATION WHEN TRY AND PRESS CHARGES.
I ALREADY SPOKE WITH THE COUNTY ADMIR AND HE SUGGESTS WHAT TO DO WITH CITY.
SHE SAYS UP AT WILEY, THEY HAVE SIGNS POSTED SOME PLACES WHERE IT'S, UH, TEXAS STATE LAW THAT IT AGAINST A LAW TO ABANDON ANIMALS.
THERE'S A 200 TO 10,000 FINE AND WAS WONDERING IF WE SIGNS UP ON ROAD.
I PUT THE NEXT ONE THIS MORNING HOPING ABOUT THAT CALL.
I THOUGHT, I THOUGHT NO, I KNOW THE ANSWER IS TO GET THE TAG NUMBERS AND WE TRY, RIGHT? YEAH.
YOU CAN FIND THEM LIKE THIS ONE.
I I WENT ON PASTURE AND THERE HE WAS, HE FOLLOWED ME, A NEIGHBOR AND I MET AND TALKED AND HE HAD A, HIS OWN VEHICLE.
AND SO HE WENT ON BACK TO BACK OF HIS PASTURE, STARTED MOW AND BE WENT WITH HIM AND THE PUPPY FOLLOWED BE I SAID THANK GOODNESS.
SO YESTERDAY MORNING, GET THERE AND WHEN I WENT BACK OUT, ACTUALLY HIT MY TRACTOR, TAKE IT HOME THERE HE WAS LAYING UNDER THE TRACTOR.
SO THEN I HAD AN EXTRA MAP THIS MORNING.
SO YEAH, IT, BUT, BUT FIND IF IS IS IT POSSIBLE TO GET A SIGN LIKE THAT OR WHEREVER WE GO, FIND OUT WHATEVER THE LAW IS OR SOMETHING.
IN FACT, A FRIEND OF MINE LIVES ON COUNTY ROAD THERE.
I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT IT SAID, BUT IT'S AGAINST LAW TO DUMP WHATEVER, UH, TO DO.
SO SOMETHING ABOUT, YOU'LL BE LOOKING AT THE OUTSIDE, INSIDE
I WAS GONNA ASK THEM TO COOPERATE WITH US IF I HAVE THAT, HAVE IT ONLINE.
WHO ALL HAS THAT ONE? THE ONE CLICK ON THAT? I KNOW BETTY WHEN THERE'S OTHER AGENCIES.
THE COUNTY DIDN'T HAVE IT TWO YEARS AGO.
NO, WE JUST COMPLETED LAST YEAR.
IT WAS MANDATED BY THE STATE LEGISLATURE TO DO THIS.
WELL, WHEN I STARTED CALLING ABOUT LAST YEAR, I HAD TO DO THE SAME THING.
YOU MEAN ABOUT OH NINE, YOU ABOUT 3 0 9, RIGHT? BECAUSE TO COME PICK UP ANIMALS.
WHEN, WHEN I FIRST STARTED CALLING THEM, I, WE OCTOBER LAST FALL.
SO IF IT'S BEEN SINCE OCTOBER LAST FALL, THEN WE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT WHO YOU CALLED YOU TALK TO BECAUSE THE OFFICIAL APPROVED HERE IN OCTOBER OF LAST, LAST YEAR.
HOW DOES THAT GET OUT TO THE PUBLIC THOUGH? SO SAID
BUT IF SOMEBODY TRIES TO LOCATE YOU DIRECTIONS, SAME MAP IS AT THE DISPATCH.
THE SHERIFF'S, I THINK WHEN JOE GETS A MAP, DALLAS OR WHATEVER MM-HMM.
IT DOESN'T, DOESN'T THAT'S THERE'S A LOT OF NOT ON GOOGLE WEBSITE.
THAT'S, WE CAN'T, HOW DOES THAT INFORMATION
[01:00:01]
GET OUT? THE COMPANY LIKE GOOGLE OR WHOEVER THEY CONTACT CONTACTS LOCAL PEOPLE AND GO IN AND SEND THE PEOPLE IN AND SAY HERE'S THE UPDATED MAP.WE SINCE THE BREAK IN THERE IST ONE OF, ONE OF THEM LIVES UP ON, BECAUSE I CAN BE HERE THREE MINUTES.
THAT'S WHAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING.
THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE WE'VE PROVEN OUT LAST NOVEMBER, LAST OCTOBER.
WE NEED TO ONE NINE AT, UH, 9 7 0 1 0 9.
I CHECK AND TELL YOU HOW HAVE BILL BAKER DISCUSS THIS ABOUT BILL IS THE COUNTY REPUBLICAN CHAIRMAN.
AND I HAVE BILL BAKER WITH COUNTY REPUBLICAN PARTY AND UH, I, UH, I THINK I NEED TO COME SAY THIS AND YOU KNOW, WE'RE ALL OF THE SAME PARTY AFFILIATION, BUT I THINK WE ARE GONNA CREATE OURSELVES A TERRIBLE PROBLEM IN NOVEMBER IF WE ALLOW SELECTED OFFICIALS, SPOUSES TO WORK IN THE ELECTION.
AND I WOULD ASK, I DUNNO IF YOU HEARD ME OR NOT, BUT I SAID THAT THAT'S A POINT BECAUSE I DON'T THINK IT JUDGE, I DON'T THINK IT'S BECAUSE THERE ARE OTHER ISSUES THAT PEOPLE ARE INVOLVED WITH THAT ARE ELECTED OFFICIALS, SPOUSES, OR RELATIVES THAT DIRECTLY CAN TELL THE PROCESS OF THE ELECTION.
AND I WOULD ASK Y'ALL TO TAKE A GOOD CLOSE LOOK AT THAT AND UH, AND TO SEE IF WE CAN COME UP WITH SOMEBODY OR SOME PERSON THAT, UH, IS NOT GOING TO BE IN DIRECTLY INVOLVED, UH, IN THE DIFFERENT ASPECTS THAT YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH.
PRINTING BALLOTS, SETTING UP STYLES, DIFFERENT THINGS LIKE THAT THAT WE HAVE A NON-PARTISAN PERSON DOING.
IT PAINS ME TO HAVE TO SAY THIS BECAUSE, UH, I I CAN SEE US IF WE HAVE A POST ELECTION AND UH, THE OTHER PARTY IS NOT SUCCESSFUL, THAT, THAT WE MAY BE LEAVING OURSELVES OPEN FOR A LOT OF LITIGATION THAT WE DON'T DESERVE.
ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT JUDGES ALSO? WELL, I THINK THE LAW TELLS, THE LAW SPELLS OUT THE STATE SPELLS OUT WHO YOU CAN USE AS JUDGES AND IT ALSO SPELLS OUT WHO YOU CAN USE AS OTHER WORKERS.
BUT IT DOESN'T SPELL OUT WHO THE COUNTY CAN HIRE TO.
WE DON'T HAVE AN ELECTION ADMINISTRATORS.
WE DO HAVE MR. MURPHY AND, UH, HIS OFFICE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR RUNNING THE ELECTION AND UH, THAT'S MY POINT.
BUT Y'ALL ARE, Y'ALL ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING PEOPLE AND I THINK WE NEED TO TAKE A GOOD CLOSE LOOK.
ARE WE DOING THINGS PROPERLY? AND WE DON'T WANT TO, WE DON'T WANT TO, TO HAVE A SITUATION WHERE WE ARE BEING LOOKED AT AS, AS BEING, UH, UH, HAVING A PROBLEM WITH, UH, DIFFERENT TYPES OF, UH, OF BRUISING REGULATIONS AT THE ETHICS COMMITTEES OR THE GENERAL'S OFFICE SETS UP OF HOW WE DO THINGS.
AND UH, AND I WOULD JUST ASK THAT Y'ALL TAKE A REAL GOOD WITH YOUR ATTORNEYS AND DISTRICT ATTORNEY, WHOEVER IT NEEDS TO BE, WHETHER WE ARE DOING THIS LEGALLY.
AND, AND I THINK WE ALL WANT IT DONE LEGALLY BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT HAVE TO COME BACK AND, AND DEFEND OURSELVES.
UH, THE WAY THE ELECTION IS IS, AND I CERTAINLY ASK THAT Y'ALL LOOK AT THAT.
WE DON'T WANT ANY PROBLEM WITH IT.
MY WIFE HAS ALWAYS VOLUNTEERED AS A ABSOLUTELY.
AND SHE, SHE WAS ALWAYS IN ANOTHER PRECINCT OR SOMEWHERE ELSE.
SO DO YOU THINK, IS THAT A PROBLEM? I DON'T THINK SO.
AS LONG AS YOU'RE NOT ON THE BALLOT.
THE WAY I READ THE READ THE LAW.
BUT THEN YOU ALSO GET INTO OTHER PARTS OF NEPOTISM, THE TISM LAWS THAT, UH, THAT YOU GOTTA LOOK AT TOO, YOU KNOW? UH, UH, AND IT, IT, WELL, YOU KNOW, Y'ALL, UH, DIFFERENT PEOPLE ARE HIRED BY THE COUNTY AND UH, YOU
[01:05:01]
KNOW, WHETHER IT'S SOMEBODY'S, UH, COUSIN OR UNCLE OR AUNT, UH, UH, YOU KNOW, Y'ALL KNOW THE LAWS.Y'ALL KNOW WHAT THE RULES ARE OF WHO, OF WHAT DEGREE OF THE, OF THE CAN YOU CAN HIRE BECOMES A PROBLEM.
AND UH, AND I WOULD JUST ASK THAT Y'ALL TAKE A REAL CLOSE LOOK AT THAT.
AND ARE YOU SAYING IF, WHEN, WHEN THE PARTIES GIVE US NAMES FOR ELECTION JUDGES THAT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO GO OUT AND INVESTIGATE? NO, SIR.
BEFORE WE APPROVE THAT LIST TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT'S I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT THAT INVESTIGATION.
YOU'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT THAT? NO, SIR.
AREN'T YOU TALKING, I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT ANY LIST THAT THE PARTY HAS GIVEN YOU.
ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE LIST THEN OF MR. MURPHY? I'M TALKING ABOUT MR. MURPHY.
I'M TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE THAT WORK IN MR. MURPHY'S.
HE IS ELECTED ADMINISTRATOR, PEOPLE.
WE WANT TO, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE, I THINK WE ALL WANNA MAKE SURE THAT THE PEOPLE THAT HE EMPLOYS THAT ACTUALLY WORK THE ELECTION DOES NOT CREATE A, A PRIORITY.
A A, UH, LIKE SOMETHING IS NOT DONE RIGHT.
SO YOU'RE SAYING YOU THINK THE COMMISSIONER'S COURT SHOULD OVERSEE WHAT MR. MURPHY DOES MORE CLOSELY? IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? WELL, I'M JUST SAYING THAT'S Y'ALL'S JOB, ISN'T IT, SIR? NO, HE ELECTION DOES THE LEGAL POINT.
HE CONDUCTS THE S AND Y'ALL PAY THE PEOPLE THAT WORK FOR NO, WELL, MR. MURPHY PAID Y'ALL, Y'ALL, OKAY.
AND I THINK Y'ALL NEED TO LOOK AT THAT AND MAKE SURE WHAT WE'RE DOING IS PROPER.
THAT'S ALL THAT, UH, THE SHORT ANSWER IS NO, I HAVEN'T LOOKED EVERYTHING, I DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING THAT COMES UP, UH, WE KIND OF LOOK AT, ON A CASE, CASE BASIS, THIS PARTICULAR PERSON, THIS FACTS, IS THIS, UH, APPROPRIATE OR IS THIS, AND SO IS THERE GONNA COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW? I, I DON'T THINK SO.
I'M JUST SAYING, AND I'M, I'M CLEAR WHEN, WHEN, UH, WHEN YOU MADE THE COMMENT, SOMEONE SHOULD BE NONPARTISAN.
I DUNNO, ARE YOU SAYING THAT, THAT THEY SHOULD BE WELL, THAT WAS NOT PARTISAN.
THAT THAT WASN'T A CORRECT WORD.
IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN NONPARTISAN.
IT JUST SHOULD NOT BE A, IT SHOULD NOT BE AN INDIVIDUAL THAT HAS TIES TO THE, UH, ELECTED OFFICIALS OF THE COUNTY.
SO WHEN YOU DECIDE WHO YOU'RE GONNA HIRE TO DO THE ELECTIONS, I GUESS, UH, YOU NEED TO GET WITH JOHN OR SOME, ASK THEM A QUESTIONNAIRE TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE NOT, CAN THE PEOPLE IN THE COUNTY OR KEEP THE ELECTED OFFICIALS, ELECTED OFFICIALS ARE, ARE YOU SAYING DIRECTLY TO THE COMMISSIONER'S COURT? YOU KNOW WHAT THE LAW IS, JUDGE, YOU KNOW WHAT THE NET POTENTIAL LAW IS? NO, YOU SURE DO.
BUT I'M SAYING MR. MURPHY IS THE ONE WHO HIRED THAT.
AND I'VE DISCUSSED THIS WITH MR. MURPHY.
MR. MURPHY KNOWS I MY FEELING.
UH, WE ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO ADJOURN NO MAY MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER BROWN.
SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER CLARK.
