UH, ALSO LOOK DOWN UPON OUR SOLDIERS WITH FAVORS.
THEY PUT THEM HARM'S WAY AND BRING THEM HOME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION OF MONTGOMERY, AN INDIVIDUAL WITH NEVER BE IN JUSTICE.
TRIAL UNDER I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE TEXAS ONE STATE UNDER GOD, ONE AND INDIVISIBLE.
Y'ALL HAVE BEEN PRESENTED A COPY OF THE MINUTES OF THE LAST MEETING.
ARE THERE ANY ADDITIONS? CORRECTIONS? IF THERE ARE NONE, ENTERTAIN MOTION APPROVAL.
MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER SHANE.
SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER DULLER.
FIRST ITEM UP, UH, THIS EARLY IS, UH, MR. HOWELL JONES TO BRING THE AUDITOR'S REPORT FOR AUGUST.
JUDGE, THAT REPORT IS STILL IN THE PRESS.
OKAY, WELL NOW LET'S GO TO MR. MURPHY, THEN HE'S GONNA BRING TO US HOPEFULLY THE TAX TEST COLLECTIVE REPORT FOR THIS.
THE CURRENT ROLE, THE GENERAL FUND THROUGH AUGUST, WE'VE COLLECTED 26.5 MILLION, WHICH IS 96%, PUTS US RIGHT ON TARGET HISTORICALLY, I HOPE WE GET TO 97 BY THE END OF THIS, OF, UH, SEPTEMBER, BUT WE'LL SEE.
ROAD AND BRIDGE WE COLLECTED 3.666 MILLION.
ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? NO, THAT LOOKS GREAT.
WELL WITH ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO ACCEPT COURT.
NOW DID I SEE SOMETHING COME IN? YES, SIR.
JUST, UH, WE'LL LAY THAT LITTLE RIGHT THERE AND, UH, AND, UH, WE'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO ACCEPT THAT COMMISSIONER SHANE MAKES IT.
COMMISSIONER LER WILL SECOND IT.
CONSIDER AWARDING A PROCLAMATION TO HONOR MR. WELDON BURGESS FOR VOLUNTEERING TO PICK UP TRASH ALONG THE COUNTY ROAD NEAR HIS HOME.
UH, IS MR. BURGESS HERE THIS MORNING? HE SAID HE MIGHT BE ABLE TO, BUT HE DID.
UH, PETE'S DONE THIS FOR MANY YEARS NOW.
HE JUST PICKS UP THE TRASH OUT THERE ALONG IN THE ROAD AND SOME OF THE ANCILLARY ROADS THAT, UH, JOIN IT.
AND, UH, WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT PICK UP TRASH AND PILE IT UP FOR US WHEN WE GO PICK IT UP.
BUT HE ACTUALLY PUTS IN THE BACK OF HIS PICKUP AND TAKES IT OUT TO THE CONVENIENCE STATION AND, UH, WE FIX IT UP WHERE HE CAN DUMP IT OUT THERE.
SO WE'D JUST LIKE TO, I THINK, YEAH, JUDGE HAD THAT.
WE JUST WANTED TO RECOGNIZE HIS, UH, EFFORTS OUT THERE AS A VOLUNTEER AND LET HIM KNOW HOW MUCH WE APPRECIATE IT.
UH, IF WE HAD A LOT MORE PEOPLE LIKE THIS, IT WOULD, UH, IT WOULD MAKE THE COUNTY LOOK A LOT CLEANER AND A LOT OF NICER.
SO WE JUST WANT TO LET HIM KNOW THAT WE,
[00:05:01]
UH, APPRECIATE WHAT HE'S BEEN DOING.THE, UH, MOST CERTIFICATE BE, UH, IN RECOGNITION, UH, AND SINCERE APPRECIATION OF WELDON BURGESS FOR YOUR YEARS OF DEDICATED VOLUNTEER SERVICES IN KEEPING KAUFMAN COUNTY CLEAN, KAMAN COUNTY AND ITS CITIZENS.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR WILLINGNESS TO SERVE THIS 15TH DAY OF SEPTEMBER.
AND YOU'LL GIVE, THAT JUDGE WILL PUT IN TO AND MAKE SURE THAT HE GETS, GETS A COPY OF IT.
NEXT WE HAVE DISCUSS, CONSIDER PROVEN OF BUDGET AMENDMENT FOR JUSTICE PEACE PRECINCT.
THOUGHT I SAW JUDGE CASE OUT THERE.
THIS IS JUST A LITTLE CURATIVE AMENDMENT THAT I, BECAUSE I'VE GOT SOME CLERKS WITH GREAT DEAL OF COMP TIME.
I NEED TO HAVE A BUDGET INCREASE WITH ABOUT $4,000 TO COVER THE SALARIES FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR.
AND, UH, IT'S, IT'S SHOULD BE NO PROBLEM.
THEY'VE BEEN WORKING VERY GOOD ABOUT TAKING CARE OF THE COMP TIME BY JUST DOING IT WHEN THEY CAN AND TAKING OFF.
COMMISSIONER CLARK AT YOUR PRECINCT, WHAT'S, UH, WELL EITHER HAVE TO PAY THEM OR GONNA SEND THEM HOME FOR A WEEK.
I DON'T THINK HE WANTS TO SEND THEM HOME FOR A WEEK.
I DON'T THINK OUR, THEY DON'T WANT, I DON'T THINK OUR PEOPLE ARE GONNA SEND AND I THINK THAT THEY'RE TAKING THEIR, THEY'RE TAKING THEIR COMP NOW.
THEY'RE, THEY'RE STARTING TO EASY.
SO I WOULD THAT WE MAKE A BUDGET AMENDMENT TO KEEP OPEN FOR ANOTHER WEEK.
IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND IF BY COMMISSIONER DULLER, ANY MORE DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.
NEXT DISCUSS, CONSIDER ADVERTISING A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS FOR COMPUTER SOFTWARE FOR THE TON COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT.
UH, JUDGE, THIS INCLUDES, THIS IS A COMPLETE SOFTWARE PACKET FOR THE, UH, SHERIFF'S OFFICE, WHICH INCLUDES BUT NOT LIMITED TO, UH, JAIL MOBILE RMS. AND DISPATCH, UH, I DON'T HAVE ANY DATES FOR YOU TODAY.
WE'RE STILL DRAWING THOSE NOTIFICATIONS TOGETHER.
PERMISSION ADVERTISED THIS TO REPLACE, UH, THE SYSTEM THAT, THAT'S OUT THERE NOW OR IS THIS UH, IN ADDITION TO, I BELIEVE WE'VE MADE VERY WELL REPLACE WHAT WE HAVE IN PLACE.
SO YOU WANT US TO GO AHEAD AND GIVE YOU THE OKAY.
AND THEN YOU PICK THE DATES? YES, SIR.
MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER SHANE, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER LER.
A MOTION CARRIED, SIR, YOU'LL LET ANGIE KNOW.
WHEN PUT BACK ON, UH, NEXT WE HAVE DISCUSSED AND CONSIDER PROVEN RESOLUTIONS AUTHORIZING THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT TO CORRECT.
UH, WE'VE GOT A COUPLE PLACES WHERE THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT NEEDS TO WORK WITH SOME OTHER COUNTIES AND UH, UH, THIS ONE IS PRIMARILY FOR PRECINCT FOUR.
WELL, BUT IT, BUT IT'LL AUTHORIZE, AUTHORIZE.
SO, UH, I'VE BEEN JUST TALKING WITH, UH, RICHARD MONROE AND HE HAS A LOT OF CONCERNS ABOUT SOME OF THE AREAS, YOU KNOW, HOUSE BILL 10 10 SAYS THAT YOU CAN ONLY APPRAISE WITHIN THE COUNTY AND HE JUST WANTS TO USE THE GIS TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT'S THE COUNTY LINE.
UH, AND HE SAID IF YOU, IF YOU GET A RESOLUTION THROUGH COMMISSIONER'S COURT, HE'LL TAKE IT AND RUN IT AND DO THE OVERLAYS.
AND, AND I SAYS HE THINKS HE WILL USE THE BEST GIS DATA AVAILABLE.
AND IT MAY HELP US, IT MAY SAVE US A LOT OF MONEY BECAUSE IF WE HAVE TO GET VERY DEEP INTO THIS, WE'RE TALKING $56,000
[00:10:02]
FOR SURVEYS.UH, AND I THINK GIS WILL SATISFY THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT AS LONG AS THEY KEEP LAWS ROAD IN DALLAS COUNTY
MR. CLARK'S DOING EVERYTHING HE CAN.
I TOLD SENATE BUT SINCE YOU DID, I NEED NOT PASS THAT ON
THEY'RE TRYING TO KEEP US OUT OF HAVING TO PAY HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR SURVEYS WHEN UH, THE TWO COUNTIES AND THE TWO COMMISSIONERS AND THE TWO JUDGES CAN, CAN GET TOGETHER AND AGREE ON THAT.
AND I APPRECIATE THE WORK I'VE DONE ON THAT.
YEAH, WE, WE'VE MADE SOME TRIPS TO, UH, AUSTIN, TO THE GENERAL LAND OFFICE AND WITH THE COMMISSIONERS AND THE JUDGE FROM HENDERSON COUNTY.
UH, AND I THINK, I THINK THIS WILL SUFFICE.
I MEAN IT'LL MAKE THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT HAPPY, UH, 'CAUSE THEY CAN WORK WITH THE OTHER APPRAISAL DISTRICTS AND THAT'S, THAT'S THE ISSUE.
'CAUSE HOUSE BILL 10 10 RESTRICTS THEM TO ONLY KIN COUNTY.
UH, AND THIS IS WHY HE WAS, UH, CONCERNED.
SO I THINK THIS WILL HELP US OUT, SAVE US A LOT OF MONEY.
I HEARD FOR ANYTHING THAT WOULD SAVE US THOUGH.
AND YOU MIGHT POINT OUT THAT, UH, AT THAT VISIT TO GENERAL LAND OFFICE IS THEY SAID IT'S NOT THEIR PROBLEM.
I KNOW THEY SAID ALL LINE AS FAR AS I CONCERNED, THEY KNOW WHERE THE LINE IS.
SO COMMISSIONER DOLL WILL MAKE THAT MOTION.
COMMISSIONER CLARK WILL SECOND IT.
YEAH, IT'S JUST TALKING NURSING COUNSEL.
THIS THIS COUNTY NINE DON'T, DON'T PLURAL.
I THINK I'VE GOT A COUPLE ISSUES AND THAT'S YEAH, THERE'S A LOT OF LITTLE ISSUES.
THIS IS THE SAME ONE SHOULD SAY COMAN COUNTY LINE.
OH NO, IT SHOULD SAY COUNTY LINE, NOT COMAN COUNTY LINE.
AND THIS SAYS KAUFMAN SLASH HENDERSON COUNTY.
SEND YOU WELL WE'VE GOT THE, YEAH, WE GOT THE ORDER PASSED.
SO WE'LL JUST MAKE THAT, THAT WE REDO THE RESOLUTION TO CORRECT COUNTY LINES.
THE AGENDA SAYS APPRAISAL DISTRICT TO CORRECT KAUFMAN COUNTY LINE.
THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RESOLUTION EVIDENT.
MY MOTION WAS TO CORRECT THE KAMAN COUNTY LINE, THE COMAN COUNTY LINE.
NEXT TO DISCUSS AND CONSIDER PROVING A RENEWAL OF IN LOCAL AGREEMENT FOR ROAD MAINTENANCE FOR THE CITY OF INE.
WE, UH, AUTHORIZE THE JUDGE TO SIGN INTER WE HAVE TWO COTTONS THERE.
BOTH OF THEM ARE SIGNED AND ATTEST.
THE CITY MAYORS, CITY MANAGER AND ATTESTED BY, IS THERE A SECOND ON THE COMMISSIONER'S MOTION.
COMMISSIONER, COMMISSIONER ROUND WILL SECOND IT.
ANY MORE DISCUSSIONS? ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.
JUDGE, I THINK WHILE WE GOT BREAK HERE, I THINK IT UH, I THINK WITH OUR BEING PREPARED FOR HURRICANE, I BE SCARED A LITTLE BIT FURTHER INTO THE EAST BECAUSE WE WERE UH, HOPEFULLY WE WERE PREPARED.
I CAN ASSURE YOU WE THOUGHT WE WERE PREPARED PRECINCT TWO ANYWAY, FOR ANYTHING THAT COULD HAPPEN.
LUCKILY WE DIDN'T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING AT ALL.
WE HAD PLENTY CO SO THAT WAS GOOD NEWS.
[00:15:02]
COS THAT'S ALL WE HAD.THAT BLOCKED IN FOR A WHILE, BUT ACTUALLY WE GOT IT OFF BEFORE ANY TRAFFIC CAME DOWN THROUGH THERE.
SO A LOT LESS THAN I THOUGHT THERE WAS GONNA BE A LOT LESS THAN I EXPECTED.
WE'RE PLEASED THAT THERE WAS A LOT LESS DAMAGE, BUT, UH, WE WERE READY IF THERE WERE, THAT WAS ALL WE HAD.
WE HAD SOME, SOME MISCELLANEOUS MINOR ELECTRICAL THAT, UH, TRINITY VALLEY COULD TAKE CARE OF SOONER.
WE HAD, UH, I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY THEY HOUSED IN ELMO OR MAYBANK, BUT UH, WE HAD ABOUT 80 HOUSED HERE AT THE GOD CHURCH IN THEY WERE, YEAH, WE GOT THEM SOME WATER AND SOME EYES.
UM, KATHY STAYED ON TOP OF THE THING.
INFORMED ALL DAY LONG WAS GOING ON.
IT WAS, YOU'RE RIGHT, COMMISSIONER BEING READY FOR IT.
UH, I CALL HIM A FRIEND WHO'S COUNTY JUDGE IN CHAMBERS COUNTY AND TALKED TO HIM FRIDAY AND UH, I SAID, I SAID, WELL HOW, HOW Y'ALL GOING FERRY? HE SAID, I THINK SO.
HE SAID, WE, UH, HAD A MANDATORY EVACUATION ON THURSDAY AND HOPEFULLY EVERYBODY GOT OUT.
BUT I SAID, WELL WHAT ABOUT YOU? BECAUSE I REMEMBER OUR COLLEAGUES WAS AT THE COURTHOUSE.
HE SAID, OH, WE PORTED UP THE COURTHOUSE AND WE'RE GOING RIDE OUT HERE AT THE COURTHOUSE.
SO HE HAD HIS CREW, EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT CREW WITH HIM IN THE COURTHOUSE AND UH, SO THEY HAD THEIR FOOD AND WATER AND SO I CALLED HIM, UH, YESTERDAY FOR THE FORMER COUNTY JUDGE FROM CHAMBERS COUNTY'S IN THE HOSPITAL DOWN HERE WHEN THEY MOVED PEOPLE OUTTA THE HOSPITAL.
THIS IS WHERE HE ENDED UP HERE AT THE PRESBYTERIAN.
AND SO I WENT BY AND VISITED WITH YESTERDAY.
SO I CALLED JIMMY BACK AND TOLD HIM I VISITED WITH HIS FRIEND UP HERE AND I SAID, BY THE WAY, TELL ME HOW THINGS ARE GOING.
HE SAID, WE'VE GOT A MESS DOWN HERE.
HE SAID, NO, WE GOT A BIG MESS DOWN HERE.
SO, UH, IT'S GOING TO TAKE A WHILE.
HE SAID IT'S GOING TO TAKE, UH, PROBABLY MONTHS BEFORE THEY GET THE ELECTRICITY BACK AND, UH, WHERE PEOPLE CAN COME BACK HOME.
HOW, HOW LONG MONTH? OH, I DON'T DOUBT.
COULD HAVE BEEN A LOT WORSE, I GUESS.
UH, LET'S DISCUSS, CONSIDER, UH, THE POLICE OFFICERS IN THE FIRE MARSHAL'S OFFICE.
WE'VE, UH, TALKED ABOUT THE PROFICIENCY PAY FOR, UH, FOR SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES.
WE'VE DONE IT FOR THE CONSTABLES NOW AND WE HAVE DONE IT FOR THE, UH, INVESTIGATORS AND MR. FIRE MARSHAL AND THE FACTS.
WONDERING, UH, IF HIS DEPARTMENT AND HIS OFFICER WILL COME UNDER THE SAME, UH, DEALS.
SO HE'S ASKING, WE CONSIDER THEM AND PASS RESOLUTION THEM UNDER.
I I TALKED TO THE DEPARTMENT, THEIR DEPARTMENT IS THE BIG POLICE OFFICER.
HE'S A POLICE OFFICER AND SO IS RANDY.
RANDY'S A POLICE OFFICER AND, AND MR. WOOLEY BOTH, THEY'RE BOTH BASIC LEVELS.
THEY WON'T AFFECT ANY THIS TIME.
AND THE WAY THAT, THE WAY THE UH, THE WAS WRITTEN LAST TIME ON THE AGENDA DIDN'T SPEAK TO THIS ITEM.
AND THAT'S THE ONLY REASON I'M PUTTING IT BACK ON, JUST TO BE FAIR.
BUT I THINK WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS POLICE OFFICER.
HOW SO? UH, I'D LIKE TO MAKE THE MOTION THAT WE, THE POLICE OFFICER AND THE FIRE MARSH OFFICER FOR CONSIDERATION SECOND BY COMMISSIONER SHANE, ANY DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.
HOW CAN WE DO THE LINE ITEM TRANSFERS IN THREE MINUTES? BE CLOSE.

OKAY, WE'D ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO MOVE FROM OUR REGULAR SCHEDULE, THE MEETING TO THE SECOND PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED TAX RATE FOR FISCAL YEAR 2008 2009.
MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER DELLER, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER SHANE.
SO WE'LL MOVE FROM OUR REGULAR SESSION TO THE, UH, SECOND HEARING ON THE TAX RATE.
UH, FIRST PERSON THAT IS SIGNED UP TO SPEAK IS, UH, JOE WIND WINDHAM, AND HE LISTED HIS ADDRESS 76 30 KARA LANE.
THAT'S CA, SIR, THAT'S CADE LANE.
THAT'S WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR WHERE IT WAS.
OKAY, SIR, IF YOU'LL COME UP, UH, YOU SIGNED UP WITH BUDGET AND THE TAX RATE, YOU'LL HAVE TO COME UP TWICE.
OKAY, SIR, I WANT TO TRY AND KEEP 'EM BOTH IN THE SAME ONE AND I'LL TRY TO BE AS BRIEF AS I CAN.
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ALL THE TAXPAYERS OF COTON COUNTY, AND I ONLY SPEAK FOR MYSELF, BUT I SPEAK FOR ALL THE TAXPAYERS OF COTON COUNTY.
THE TEXAS ASSOCIATION OF COUNTIES PUBLISHES THE SALARIES AND PERKS OF ALL THE GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS AND ALL THE COUNTIES OF TEXAS EXCEPT FOR YOUR RETIREMENT.
AND YOUR GAS AND NOBLE COTTON COUNTY OFFICIALS ARE THE HIGHEST PAY OF ANY COUNTY IN THE STATE OF TEXAS WITH A POPULATION OF A HUNDRED THOUSAND OR LESS.
JUDGE GEN WROTE A LETTER TO THE COTMAN ONLINE IN 2007 DESCRIBING GOVERNMENT WASTE AT THE STATE LEVEL.
[00:30:01]
YOU REFERRED TO THE 1985 BUDGET WITH TODAY'S STATE BUDGET.WHAT WAS COTTON COUNTY'S BUDGET IN 1985? WE SHOULD PRACTICE WHAT WE PREACH.
COMMISSIONER ROBIN, COMMISSIONER SHIELD, YOU BOTH STATED YOU MIGHT REFUSE THE 3% INCREASE.
THE TAXPAYERS WOULD LIKE TO KNOW.
WHAT IS YOUR DEFINITE ANSWER TO THAT? THE COBHAM COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT BUDGET OF $5,966,610 AND THE JAIL FUND OF $9,759,030 FOR A TOTAL OF $15,000,725 600 AND $725,640 REPRESENTS 31 AND 5% OF ALL THE MONIES FOR TO RUN COTTON COUNTY.
WHEN THE TAXPAYERS OF THIS GREAT COUNTY AGREED TO BUILD A NEW JAIL, IT WAS BECAUSE WE WERE INFORMED THAT THE COST OF TO THE COUNTY FOR KEEPING PRISONERS IN OTHER COUNTY JAILS COULD ALMOST PAY FOR IT FULL.
AND THE LAST TWO YEARS, WE HAVE APPROPRIATED $755,000 FOR ROLLING STOCK FOR THIS, FOR THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT, AND HE'S ASKING FOR 500,000 MORE.
THAT DEPARTMENT DRIVES THE FINANCE SUVS, PICKUPS AND CARS IN TEXAS.
I ASKED YOU WHAT WAS THE JUSTIFICATION FOR THE NEED FOR FOUR ADDITIONAL CONSTABLES WITH A COST TO THE TAXPAYERS OF $702,916 IN YOUR OH EIGHT BUDGET WITHIN 60 DAYS AFTER THEY WERE PUT ON, THEY WERE WORKING TRAFFIC WITH THEIR RADAR UNITS INSTEAD OF TAKING CARE OF THE NEEDS OF THE COURT FIRE MARSHALS AT A BUDGET OF $216,540 WITH NO AUTOMOBILES SHOWN IN THEIR BUDGET.
IN 2 0 3, WE HAD ONE FIRE MARSHAL TO INVESTIGATE SUSPICIOUS FIRES WITH A POPULATION APPROXIMATELY 75,000 PEOPLE.
TODAY WE HAVE THREE FIRE MARSHALS TO COVER THE OTHER 15,000 ESTIMATED PEOPLE THAT HAS INCREASED.
OKAY, SO YOU NEED TO WIND IT UP.
YOUR THREE MINUTES ARE JUST ABOUT A, BESIDES YOUR AVERAGE SALARIES, WE, THE TAXPAYERS PAY 407,000 $140 IN CAR ALLOWANCES.
WE PAY $1,324,087 IN YOUR RETIREMENT AND WE PAY $522,900 IN YOUR GAS AND OIL.
WE ALSO PAY $439,360 IN MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS THAT DON'T MEAN MUCH TO YOU GUYS, BUT IT'S JUST MISCELLANEOUS.
BUT IT'S IN THE BUDGET EVERY YEAR.
WE HAVE 200,000 PLUS IN THE BUDGET EVERY YEAR FOR FURNITURE.
I'LL LEAVE YOU WITH TWO TRUISMS. THE TASK ASSIGNED WOULD EXPAND OR ACQUIRE THE TIME AND PEOPLE ALLOTTED.
THE NEXT PERSON WE HAVE SIGNED UP IS BOB WINDHAM.
JUDGE IDEA ABOUT TIME TO HIM IF HE'S NOT THROUGH WITH HIS AND I'M NOT.
WELL, HE HAS ABOUT A MINUTE AND A HALF LEFT TO TALK ON THE BUDGET IF HE'D LIKES TO.
I WOULD LIKE, I KNOW WE HAVE TO HAVE TAXES TO RUN OUR GOVERNMENT, BUT I WANT GIVE YOU A CLASS EXAMPLE OF WHAT I FEEL IS TOTALLY RIDICULOUS OF SPENDING THE BUDGET MONEY.
COMMISSIONER DILLARD, YOU'RE QUARTERLY REPORT OF APRIL TO JUNE OF $177,542.
YOU WERE STATED THAT YOU RECLAIMED SEVERAL ROWS IN MY AREA IN PRECINCT FOUR.
TWO OF THOSE, TWO OF THOSE ROWS IS 40 74 AND 47, 6.
IF ALL THE ROADS THAT YOU RECLAIM REPRESENT THE QUALITY OF THESE TWO ROADS, THEN YOU WASTED YOUR MONEY.
I INVITE YOU AND YOUR CREW TO DRIVE THOSE ROADS TODAY.
I WOULD LIKE TO COMPARE MY ROAD WITH YOUR ROAD AND I, THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY.
THE NEXT GENTLEMAN IS WILLIAM BUTLER.
UH, I GOT 6 0 1 FIRST STREET, BUT I DON'T HAVE A TOWN.
CAROL, I'D LIKE TO START MY COMMENTS WITH QUESTION.
AND THAT QUESTION IS, WHO HIRES THE KAUFMAN COUNTY APPRAISAL DISTRICT? CAN ANYBODY TELL ME THE KAUFMAN ACCOUNT
[00:35:01]
APPRAISAL DISTRICT BOARD.SO WHO HIRES WHO APPOINTS THE BOARD? EACH UH, TAXING ENTITY IN THE COUNTY HAS SO MANY REPRESENTATIVES.
THOSE SEVEN PEOPLE REPRESENT ALL THE TAXING ENTITIES IN THE COUNTY.
KAUFMAN COUNTY HAS ONE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE SEVEN AND THEY'RE LUMPED TOGETHER.
CITY OF TARIAL AND CITY OF SCHOOL TAR SCHOOL HAVE ONE.
SCHOOLS HAVE ONE THAT, AND THAT WAS THE, THAT POSITION WAS DETERMINED BACK IN 1983 WHEN THE PEETO BILL WAS FIRST PASSED AND THAT ANIMAL CAME INTO EXISTENCE.
OKAY, SO IN PART YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT YOU HIRED THE KAMAN COUNTY THIS YEAR? NO, SIR.
WE HAVE ONE OUT OF SEVEN REPRESENTATIVES.
SEVEN, SEVEN REPRESENTATIVES THAT HIRE.
WE HAVE THE COMMISSIONER'S COURT ITSELF HAS NO SAY ON WHAT THAT BOARD DOES OTHER THAN, UH, WELL, WE DON'T EVEN HAVE SAY ON WHAT THEIR BUDGET IS.
THEY GIVE US THE BILL EVERY YEAR AND BY STATUTE WE HAVE TO PAY.
OKAY, SO BUT YOU HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM? IT DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU, YOU ONE BOARD MEMBER ONE.
BUT IF YOU STOP PAYING THE BILL, THEN WHAT HAPPENS? PAYING BILL, I TRIED THAT.
THIS THEY GO OUTTA EXISTENCE, RIGHT? NO, SIR.
THEY HAVE ALL KINDS OF SANCTIONS.
THEY CAN, UH, THAT, UH, LAW ALLOWS THEM TO SANCTION AN ENTITY THAT DOES NOT PAY HIS BILL.
WELL, LET ME CONTINUE THEN BY SAYING THIS.
I I WAS DISAPPOINTED BY THE ANSWERS I SAW IN GERALD
WHILE YOUR STATEMENT MAY BE TRUE, THAT PROPERTY YOU DON'T SET PROPERTY VALUES YOU TO A CERTAIN EXTENT, YOU HIRE THEM.
I THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING AND YOU'RE ALLOWED TO STAND THERE AND SAY WHAT YOU'D LIKE TO DO.
FOR THREE MINUTES AND THEN THAT'S IT.
WELL, MR. GIBSON MADE SOME VERY GOOD POINTS AT THE LAST MEETING.
FORECLOSURES ARE THE HIGHEST SENSE OF GREAT DEPRESSION.
BUYING POWER ON AVERAGE IS DOWN $2,000.
HIGH HOME VALUES ARE IN A DOWNWARD SPIRAL.
THEY'VE GONE DOWN AT LEAST ONE AND A HALF PERCENT THIS YEAR.
LEHMAN BROTHERS HAS GONE UNDER FANNIE MAE'S, GONE UNDER, FREDDIE MACS GONE UNDER.
ALL THESE ENTITIES ARE ARE GONE.
AND YET WE'RE RAISING PROPERTY VALUES IN KAMAN COUNTY.
NOW SOMEBODY, SOMEBODY'S GOT TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS.
SOMEBODY HAS TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND SAY, OKAY, WE'RE RESPONSIBLE.
NOW, IF YOU'RE NOT RESPONSIBLE, I NEED TO KNOW WHO IS BECAUSE BETTY BROWN SAYS THE LEGISLATURE'S NOT RESPONSIBLE.
THAT'S THE PROBLEM WITH THE WAY IT'S SET UP.
WELL THEN WE NEED TO CHANGE IT.
AND THAT COMES IN THE LEGISLATURE, BECAUSE I, I'M HAVING HEARINGS NOW OVER THE STATE OF TEXAS TO GET INPUT ON WHAT CAN, WHAT THEY CAN DO WITH THE SINGLE PRISON DISTRICT AND MODIFY, UH, ONE OF THE, ONE OF THE SUGGESTIONS IS FOR THE BOARD MEMBERS TO BE ELECTED BY THE PEOPLE RATHER THAN APPOINTED.
WELL, AND THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS I WHO NEEDS, WHO NEEDS TO DO THAT THEN? WHO? THE LEGISLATURE AND THE SENATE.
WELL, WHAT I FIND IS WHEN I LOOK AT APPRAISED VALUES IS, IS HUGE VARIATIONS IN, IN APPRAISED VALUES.
UH, THOSE APPRAISED VALUES ARE NOT REALITY BASED.
AND WHEN THEY'RE NOT REALITY BASED, ALL HOMEOWNERS IN TON COUNTY LOSE.
IT'S JUST A LOSING PROPOSITION.
UH, I LOOKED UP APPRAISED VALUES THIS MORNING ON, ON SOME OF YOU, AND THE, I'M NOT GONNA MAKE THIS PERSONAL, BUT THERE ARE HUGE DIFFERENCES.
AND SO I THINK SOMEBODY NEEDS TO TAKE THESE PEOPLE TO TASK OVER THE WAY THEY'RE HANDLING THE SITUATION.
ANYBODY ELSE SPEAK? ALRIGHT, WE'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION THEN TO EXIT THE PUBLIC HEARING ON THE TAX RATE.
JUDGE, I'D LIKE TO, LIKE TO COMMENT IF I MAY PLEASE, BEFORE WE DO THAT.
UH, I'D JUST LIKE TO RESPOND TO, UH, UH, HIS, HIS, UH, QUESTION
[00:40:01]
ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT I HAVE OFFICIALLY DECLINED TO TAKE MY RAISE ALREADY.I'VE SENT, I'VE SENT THAT, UH, INTO THE JUDGE.
UH, I LOOK AT OUR TAX RATE AND I SEE THAT, TO ME, IT SEEMS A, IT SEEMS HIGHER THAN MAR UH, IT'S HARD FOR ME TO AGREE TO TAKE A RAISE WHEN, UH, I SEE OUR TAX RATE HIGHER THAN IT SHOULD BE.
BUT I ALSO WOULD SAY THAT WE WERE ABLE TO REDUCE IT BY HALF A CENT LAST YEAR.
WE WERE ABLE TO REDUCE IT BY HALF A CENT THIS YEAR.
AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE OVERALL MARKET, UH, DALLAS IS HAVING PROBLEMS IN THEIR TAXES.
THEY'RE HAVING TO RAISE THEIRS, CRANDALL'S GOING CRAZY WITH THEIRS.
UH, FORNEY'S HAVING PROBLEM WITH THEIRS.
SO I THINK THAT WHAT WE'VE DONE IN THE LAST TWO YEARS IS TRYING TO RE REVERSE THIS TREND AND SEND IT DOWN A LITTLE BIT.
I KNOW A HALF A CENT IS NOT MUCH, BUT IF WE GET A HALF A CENT REDUCTION EVERY YEAR, I THINK THAT HELPS US A LITTLE.
BUT I HAVE DECLINED TO TAKE MY RIGHTS COMMISSIONER, ADAM AND I, AND I DO APPRECIATE THAT THE THING THAT WE AS TAX PAYERS SEE THE HUNDRED PERCENT DECREASE THAT WE TOOK OVER HERE AND SAY, WELL, THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT HAS FOUND YOU 2 MILLION, SOMETHING MORE DOLLARS THAT YOU CAN USE AND YOU GUYS USE IT.
I MEAN, IT'S, IT'S, IT'S THE FACTS THAT, YOU KNOW, NO MATTER WHAT THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT COMES UP AND I'M SURE THAT THAT'S WHAT THIS GENTLEMAN'S WAS COMPLAINT IS NO MATTER WHAT THEY COME UP WITH YOU GENTLEMEN, SOME, SOME WAY, ALWAYS BE ABLE TO SPEND IT.
AND THAT'S OUR, THAT'S OUR DRIVE.
AND THANK YOU FOR NOT TAKING THAT.
AND, UH, EVERY TIME THOSE GO OVER THE SAME BOAT AS YOU'RE, THANK YOU, SIR.
I ALSO DECLINED TO TAKE THAT TAX, UH, TAX INCREASE.
ONE OTHER THING I WANT SAY TO YOU, I'M THE ONLY ONE SITTING ON THIS COMMISSIONER'S COURT THAT IS IN BUSINESS TODAY, AND I PAY SERIOUS TAXES TO KAUFMAN COUNTY.
AND I'M VERY INTERESTED IN WHAT GOES ON IN KAUFMAN COUNTY.
BUT ONE THING THAT Y'ALL ALL ARE FORGETTING, UH, WOULD YOU TAKE TODAY WHAT THEY'VE GOT YOU SITTING AT ON THE APPRAISAL BOARD FOR YOUR LAND AND WHATEVER YOU HAVE HERE IN COMAN COUNTY? NO, YOU WILL NOT.
I'LL ASSURE YOU, YOU WOULDN'T TAKE FOR WHAT YOU'RE SITTING AT ON, ON THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT RIGHT NOW.
I WOULDN'T THE WHOLE BUNCH OF FOOT SIR
WELL, I'LL ASSURE YOU THAT YOU, UH, WE ARE TRYING TO DO THE BEST WE CAN TALKING THE COUNTY.
IT'S BEEN SITTING HERE FOR SO MANY YEARS WITH NOTHING BEING DONE, SIR.
WHEN YOU GO DO SECOND, LET ME FINISH MY AND, AND WE'LL SEE.
THE JUDGE WILL LET YOU SPEAK AGAIN.
UH, BUT ANYWAY, WHAT I DO WANT TO SAY, WE'RE VERY INTERESTED IN WHAT GOES ON IN OUR COUNTY AND WE HAVE TAKEN A VESTED INTEREST IN DOING SOME THINGS THAT HAS IMPROVED OUR COUNTY A WHOLE LOT IN THE LAST, UH, SIX TO EIGHT YEARS NOW.
AND, AND PEOPLE OUT THAT ARE MOVING INTO OUR COUNTY ARE DEMANDING SERVICES.
AND, AND SO, UH, THEY'RE COMING OUR WAY.
AND A HUNDRED THOUSAND, I WOULD SAY YOU'RE PROBABLY SHORT.
WE'RE OVER THAT A HUNDRED THOUSAND WORTH RIGHT NOW.
AND, UH, IT'S, IT'S JUST THE GROWTH AND EVERYTHING IS DEMANDING MORE SERVICES AND THE PEOPLE WANT IT.
SO IF YOU CAN FIGURE OUT HOW TO HELP US SQUEEZE THIS BUDGET SOME MORE, FEEL FREE TO BE THERE BECAUSE WE HAVE HEARINGS.
OKAY, NOW LET ME, LET ME ASK YOU SOMETHING.
NOW, THIS IS GETTING OUTTA HAND.
PUBLIC HAS A RIGHT TO COME UP TO THIS PODIUM FOR THREE MINUTES AND SAY WHAT THEY'D LIKE.
NOW YOU'VE HAD ABOUT 10 MINUTES SO FAR, JUDGE, HE ADDRESSED ME.
SO I WOULD JUST LIKE TO REACT TO ADDRESS WHAT HE JUST SAID.
HE ASKED ME HOW, HOW, HOW WE DO SOME OF THE THINGS TO CORRECT THIS.
HERE'S A HALF A MILLION DOLLARS IN MISCELLANEOUS AND OFFICE FURNITURE AND STUFF THAT'S BEEN IN EVERY BUDGET FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS.
WHY DON'T WE BUY SOME FURNITURE THAT WILL LAST MORE THAN ONE YEAR? I KNOW THERE'S MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS AND STUFF, BUT WHEN IT COMES TO THE DEGREE OF THIS, THIS IS $4 FOR EVERY PERSON IN COMPTON COUNTY.
IT'S TIME SOMEBODY LOOKS AT IT AND SAYS, WAIT A MINUTE.
IF THAT'S $400,000, WE CAN TAKE OUT THE BUDGET.
THAT'S A, THAT'S $4 FOR ALL OF US.
THESE ARE WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.
THE LITTLE YOU TAKE CARE OF, THE NICKELS AND DIMES OF DAUGHTERS WILL TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES.
AND THAT'S ALL I'M ASKING YOU TO DO.
ONCE AGAIN, I ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO EXIT THE PUBLIC HEARING ON THE TAX RATE AND MOVE BACK TO GENERAL SESSION.
COMMISSIONER ROUND MAKES THE MOTION.
MOTION CARRIES AND WE'RE EXTENDING THE PUBLIC HEARING ON THE TAX RATE AND MOVE BACK IN THE GENERAL SESSION.
[00:45:01]
UH, WE ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO SET THE DATE TO ADOPT THE TAX RATE FOR SEPTEMBER 29TH AT 10:00 AM MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER LER.SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER SHANE.
NOW I'D ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO EXIT OUR SCHEDULING MEETING AND MOVE INTO A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE PROPOSED BUDGET BILL MADE.
