[00:00:06]
COMMISSIONER ROUND YOU OPENS UP THIS MORNING.
AND REMEMBER, MOTHER, GRANDMA, HAZEL, AND, UH, UH, AND COUNTRYMAN.
THEY'RE BOTH HAVING A HARD TIME.

UH, WE WOULD ASK THAT YOU LOOK DOWN UPON US WITH FAVOR TODAY AS WE MAKE DECISIONS, UH, HERE THE COUNTY, AND GIVE US THE KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING TO MAKE THE CORRECT DECISIONS.
WE WOULD PARTICULARLY ASK THAT YOU LOOK DOWN ON HAZEL, JEN AND, AND COUNTRYMAN.
BOTH, UH, HAD SOME SETBACKS IN THEIR RECENT, UH, HISTORY AND ASKED FOR TO LOOK DOWN AND TOUCH THEIR RELATIVES AND FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS, AND, UH, HELP THEM ALSO LOOKED DOWN UPON FAVOR WITH THOSE VICTIMS OF THE, UH, FORT HOOD SHOOTING.
AS MUCH AS WE DO ALL OF THIS, WE ASK IN JESUS NAME, I THE TO FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVIDUAL WITH THE LIBERTY AND JUSTICE, HONOR, HONOR THE TEXAS SOCIETY, MY ALLEGIANCE, THE TEXAS ONE STATE UNDER GOD.
Y'ALL PREVIOUSLY HAVE BEEN PROVIDED COPY OF THE MINUTES OF THE LAST MEETING.
IF THERE ARE NO ADDITIONS OR CORRECTIONS, WE MOTION AS PRESENTED, MADE BY COMMISSIONER ER SECOND BY COMMISSIONER JACKSON.
OKAY, FIRST ITEM UP THIS MORNING.
LET'S SEE IF WE'VE GOT ANYTHING IN ROUTINE.
LO AND BEHOLD, I THINK I SENT Y'ALL A COPY OF A LETTER TO SHERIFF BURNS FROM THE TEXAS COMMISSIONER JAIL STANDARDS.
IT WAS A GREAT PLEASURE THAT I ENCLOSED THE CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE FOR THE CALTON COUNTY JAIL.
THE MOST RECENT INSPECTION OF YOUR FACILITY BY TEXAS COMMISSION ON JAIL STANDARDS, INSPECTOR FRED ST.
AMONT WAS DEMONSTRATED THAT YOUR FACILITY IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE TEXAS MINIMUM JAIL STANDARDS.
THIS CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION OF COMPLIANCE IS A DIRECT RESULT OF YOUR DEPARTMENT'S COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE AND FURTHER TEST SIGNIFIES AND DEMONSTRATES YOUR DEPARTMENT'S DEDICATION AND PROFESSIONALISM IN MAINTAINING A SAFE, SECURE, AND SANITARY FACILITY.
IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT EACH FACILITY HAVE A BUDGETARY SUPPORT OF THEIR RESPECTIVE COMMISSIONER'S COURT IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN A SAFE AND SECURE FACILITY.
THEREFORE, I WOULD LIKE TO COMMEND THE COLTON COUNTY COMMISSIONER'S COURT FOR THEIR CONTINUED SUPPORT OF JAIL OPERATIONS.
THE CITIZENS OF COLTON COUNTY SHOULD BE PROUD OF YOUR COMBINED EFFORTS AS THE TEXAS COMMISSIONER OF JAIL STANDARDS, AND THAT'S SIGNED BY THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR ADAM ENOS, JR.
AND THAT'S A GOOD, UH, OH, HE STEPPED OUT.
HE WAS HERE WHEN I STARTED READING.
YEAH, HE WAS, I GUESS HE GOT, I GUESS HE WAS KIND OF FOREIGN TO HIM.
OUR, WE GOT OUR CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE AND, UH, IT SHOWS GOOD ON THE SHERIFF AND THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT AND COMMISSIONER'S COURT FOR SUPPORTING.
UH, NEXT THING IS, UH, MR. HOWELL JONES, HE'S GONNA PRESENT THE AUDITOR'S REPORT FOR OCTOBER, THE FIRST ONE IN THE NEW BUDGET YEAR.
SO, UH, IT'LL BE ON THE DESK THIS WEEK IF Y'ALL WANT TO COME BY AND LOOK AT IT.
REMIND EVERYONE THOUGH THAT, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE BUDGET AND THE CASH IN THE BANK.
SO THE BUDGET MAY SAY YOU GOT 1000, YOU MAY ONLY HAVE ABOUT TWO OR 3000 IN THE BANK.
SO REMEMBER THAT, AND THAT BRINGS UP SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO DISCUSS.
AND, UH, YOU KNOW, THAT'S, THAT'S GRANTING THIS
[00:05:01]
DISCOUNT FOR EARLY PAYMENT OF TAXES.UH, THAT'S WHY WE DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY NOW IN OCTOBER, NOVEMBER, DECEMBER, WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO DO SOMETHING TO START GETTING MONEY GENERATED COMING IN IN OCTOBER, NOVEMBER, DECEMBER.
AND I THINK THE ONLY WAY, IN MY OPINION, IS TO REINSTATE THE DISCOUNTS WE'RE PAYING EARLY, BUT WE'LL DISCUSS THAT AT A LATER TIME.
UM, THE NEXT THING WE HAVE IS, UH, CANVASING THE VOTE ON, WE NEED A MOTION ON THAT.
I'M SORRY, MY MIND'S RUNNING IN SEVERAL DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS THIS MORNING.
SECOND, COMMISSIONER CLARK WILL MAKE A MOTION TO ACCEPT THE ALTERS REPORT AND COMMISSIONER ER WILL SECOND IT.
ANY DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.
NOW LET'S TALK ABOUT, UH, CANVASING THE ELECTION RESULTS OF THE 2009 CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS ELECTION.
MR. MURPHY, YOU WANNA MAKE ANY COMMENTS ABOUT THAT? WELL, THE ONLY COMMENT IS THAT STATEWIDE, UH, THEY ALL PASSED, BUT IN OUR COUNTY PROPOSITION ONE AND FOUR, WE HAD MORE VOTES AGAINST THAN FOUR IN THOSE TWO PROPOSITIONS.
PROPOSITION ONE WAS THE AMENDMENT FOR TAX INCREMENT FINANCING, AND PROPOSITION FOUR WAS ALLOCATION THAT THE UNIVERSITY FUNDS THOSE TO OUR VOTERS VOTED AGAINST PREDOMINANTLY.
AND THIS RESULT THAT YOU PRESENTED TO US IS THE OFFICIAL RESULTS? YES.
DID I GET ONE IN FRONT OF MORNING? GOOD MORNING.
UH, I WOULD ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO DECLARE THE RESULTS, UH, OFFICIAL AS PRESENTED TO US BY MR. MURPHY THIS MORNING.
MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER ADAMS SECOND BY COMMISSIONER JACKSON.
UH, NEXT, UM, WE'LL DISCUSS AND CONSIDER WAR BID NUMBER NINE DASH 10 PRESIDENT TRANSPORT BUS ACROSS COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT.
JUDGE, I'M GONNA HAVE TO ASK, UH, THE COURT TO TABLE THAT YET ONE MORE TIME, AND I WOULD LIKE TO EXPLAIN, UH, WHAT'S GOING ON.
WE, WE HAVE A LOW BIDDER THAT MEETS SPECS, AND IT IS THE, THE, UH, BUS THAT THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE WOULD LIKE TO PURCHASE.
UH, THE STATE, HOWEVER, INDICATES THAT THE VENDOR HAS NOT FULFILLED ALL REQUIREMENTS FOR TEXAS MOTOR VEHICLE LICENSING.
AND, UH, I'VE MISSPEAK THE LAST TWO WEEKS WITH THE FACTORY AND THE DEALER ON THIS.
AND THEY, THEY THINK THEY HAVE EVERYTHING AND, AND ALL DUCK IN ROW.
THE STATE INDICATES THAT INDICATES THEY DO NOT.
AND SO I'M, I'M EDUCATING THE VENDOR AND THE FACTORY ON WHAT THEY NEED TO DO.
AND, UH, WE'VE GOT ONE OF THE TWO FORMS COMPLETED, UH, ON THEIR PART, WHICH WILL HAVE THE BUS, LALL BUS ADDED TO THEIR LICENSE TO SELL THE STATE TEXAS.
AND I DIDN'T WANNA TO COURT UNTIL I ALL THIS, WE ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO THAT MADE BY COMMISSIONER ER SECOND BY COMMISSIONER JACKSON.
A MOTION WHO CARRIES, THAT'LL BE TABLED UNTIL QUESTION.
THEY INDICATE THAT WE MAY HAVE EVERYTHING DONE BY NEXT WEEK.
WHAT I, WHAT I'M HEARING YOU GO AND ON OR YOU WANNA WAIT UNTIL YOU GET VERIFICATION PUT ON THE WEEK AFTER, OR I, WE CAN JUST WAIT.
I'LL JUST WAIT UNTIL I GET A COPY OF THEIR CERTIFICATE.
WHEN YOU GET A COPY, ANGIE, THAT, UM, MS. HARRISON, JUDGE YOUR PEOPLE HERE YET? NOT YET.
WAIT FOR, UH, DID I TAKE A VOTE ON THAT? ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.
THAT'LL BE IN UNTIL JACK REQUESTED FEEDBACK ON, UH, NEXT, WE'LL DISCUSS AND CONSIDER PURCHASING TWO TRUCKS FOR PRECINCT NUMBER FOUR TO THE STATE OF TEXAS, UH, CONTRACT.
I BELIEVE GENTLEMEN MAY HAVE A COPY OF THAT, THAT QUOTE.
THE TEXAS MULTIPLE AWARD SCHEDULE, UH, STATE CONTRACT DIS SUSPEND IS ZONE.
AND, UH, I BELIEVE BE THE TRUCKS THAT MR. WOULD LIKE TO PURCHASE.
AND I'LL MAKE THAT RECOMMENDATION.
UH, YEAH, THIS, THIS 54 1 0 3, IS THAT, THAT'S UNIT PRICE? THAT'S CORRECT.
AND THEN WHEN YOU ADD, I THINK YOU HAD A, UH, UH, AN
[00:10:01]
EXTRA CONVEYANCE, IT'S A MULTIPURPOSE PUMP CONVEYOR.AND WHEN YOU ADD THE PUMP, THEN THERE'S A, UH, A SET CONTRACT FEE.
AND THAT BRINGS UP TOTAL FOR TWO TRUCKS TO BE, UH, 116,009 29.90.
WILL THIS, WILL THIS COME SEPARATE LIKE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT? YES, SIR.
WE CAN, UH, WE CAN GET THESE ON, ON.
I WANT TO THANK JACK FOR HIS PATIENCE ON THIS.
WE JUST, WE ORIGINALLY WAS GONNA WORK WITH THE TOTAL DUMP TRUCK, AND NOW WE THINK THAT WE CAN DO CABIN CHASSIS A LOT CHEAPER, USE OUR OWN BEDS BECAUSE OUR BEDS IN GOOD SHAPE.
WE'LL, WE'LL DO THE REPLACEMENT.
JACKSON DOING A LOT OF EXTRA WORK FOR ME ON THIS, AND I APPRECIATE IT.
UH, BE THERE A SECOND ON THAT.
COMMISSIONER CLARK WILL SECOND THAT MOTION.
IS THIS, ARE THESE, UH, ARE THESE TOP CAP 7,500? IS THAT WHAT ARE BELIEVE ARE THE ADDITIONAL, THE ADDITIONAL MONEY? UH, THE, THE PUMP FOR THE LIFT AND THE PUMP FOR THE CONVEYOR, WE WORKED IT OUT WITH THEM THAT THE SAME PUMP CAN BE USED WITH JUST A HYDRAULIC VALVE SWITCH.
SO WE DON'T NEED TO PUT A DOUBLE PUMP ON IT.
THAT'S, THAT'S THE EXTRA MONEY.
BUT I'M LOOKING, BECAUSE I'VE GOT A TURP GRANT REPLACE ONE OF MY TRUCKS.
I WAS LOOKING FOR SOMETHING, THIS RIGHT HERE, BUT I NEED A TRUCK WITH A 33,000 GBR.
AND I THOUGHT THIS, I THOUGHT THAT YOU COULD USE 26, 26 75.
SEE THE ISSUE IS 26 IS IS THE DIVIDING LINE FOR CDL NON CDL WITH AIR BRAIN.
AND SO THIS IS THE, THIS IS THE 26, UH, BECAUSE WE'RE GONNA HAVE AIR BRAKES ON IT.
EVEN IF YOU'VE GOT AIR BRAKES 26 OR BELOW, YOU DON'T NEED CDL.
BECAUSE ALL MY PASSENGER DRIVERS DON'T HAVE CDL.
THAT'S WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR.
BUT THE TRUCK HAS REPLACE NEEDS TO BE, YOU GO OVER OVER 20, YOU GO OVER 26, YOU'LL NEED TO SEE THE, THAT'S THE REASON.
BUT THE SPEC I GOT ON THE TOP CAP WAS, UH, I THINK UP COULD BE BECAUSE OF THE TYPE BED YOU PUT ON THERE.
COULD THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE ON CABINET? YOU ONLY EXTRA IS THAT PUMP, IS THAT CONVEYOR PUMP? UH, YEAH, BUT BUT I'M SAYING IF YOU PUT A BIGGER BED ON THERE, WOULD YOU DROVE THE VEHICLE WEIGHT GO UP OR COULD IT GO UP? I WANT IT TO GO UP.
I THINK THAT, NO, I THINK IT'S STAMP ON THE, ON THE CA ON THE TRUCK ID MARK.
THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT.
I BELIEVE THAT TO BE THE MAX MAX UW.
IT'S A, THESE ARE GS, UH, CHRIS, IS IT A MAC? YOU GONNA GET A MAC? I ON, UH, ONE THING YOU NEED TO NOTICE.
THESE ARE BRAND NEW TRUCKS, EVEN THOUGH IT'S A 2007 FOR WHAT? BRAND NEW.
I CAN CHECK YOU'D ALL FAIR TO SAY A MOTION CARRIES.
UH, NEXT WE WANT TO DISCUSS, UH, PROVING OF MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN TON COUNTY AND THE TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF STATE HEALTH SERVICES REGARDING THE OFFICE SPACE LOCATED, IT WAS 3001 SOUTH WASHINGTON STREET, KAUFMAN.
UH, YOU KNOW, ORIGINALLY, UH, TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH MOVED AWAY FROM KAUFMAN, UH, SEVERAL YEARS AGO.
UH, AND THEN THEY CALLED ME AND SAID IF WE COULD PROVIDE A, UH, OFFICE SPACE FARM AND OFFICE SPACE FARM, UH, THEN THEY WOULD MOVE BACK.
SO THAT'S WHEN WE, UH, REMODELED PART OF THE, UH, CAMPUS BUILDING AND, UH, LET HIM MOVE BACK.
AND, UH, WE NEVER DID, UM, ACTUALLY SIGN AN AGREEMENT.
I JUST TOLD HIM TO GO AHEAD AND MOVE IN.
AND, AND, UH, JOHN, YOU'VE GONE OVER THE AGREEMENT.
I HAVE ONE HERE WITH SOME CHANGES IN IT THAT YOU GOT, YOU APPROVED WITH THESE CHANGES? I, I HAVE NOT SEEN THE CHANGES.
WE DIDN'T GIVE IT TO THEM UNTIL THEY WERE ALREADY MADE.
WELL, INSTEAD, INSTEAD OF IT BEING, UH, FOR ALL THEY HAD PUT DOWN HERE, OFFICES OF THE COUNTY, RENTING
[00:15:01]
OFFICES FROM THE COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT, UH, OR AT THE COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT, THEN WE CHANGED THAT TO THE SOUTH CAMPUS.AND, UH, WE, WHERE IT SAYS SHERIFF'S OFFICERS, WE CHANGED THAT TO THE SOUTH CAMPUS.
YEAH, IT WON'T CHANGE ANY OF THE MEETING.
IT'S JUST THAT, UM, I GUESS BECAUSE IT WAS THE OLD JAIL, THEY THOUGHT IT WAS CONTRACTED WITH THE SHERIFF, BUT IT'S LOCATED IN SHERIFF'S OFFICE, BUT IT'S THE SOUTH CAMPUS.
WITH THOSE CHANGES THEN, UH, WE'D ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE THAT CONTRACT.
MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER LER.
SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER JACKSON.
UH, WE'RE GONNA SKIP THE NEXT ITEM AND COME BACK TO IT.
UH, UH, Y'ALL KNOW SEAN WAS, UH, THE CASUALTY AND A FEW WEEKS BACK AND, UH, HIS PARENTS ARE COMING THIS MORNING.
AND SO WE WANTED, WE DIDN'T GET A CHANCE, UH, BECAUSE NOT MEETING LAST MONDAY TO GET DONE AHEAD OF TIME.
SO WE WENT AHEAD AND PUT IT ON THE AGENDA FOR TODAY.
SO WE'LL COME BACK TO IT WHEN SEAN'S PARENTS GET HERE.
THE NEXT ONE WE WANT TO DISCUSS AND SIT HER NAME IN DAVID SHIELDS AS A CO COUNTY ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANT, A NON PAYING, UH, VOLUNTEER POSITION.
UH, THE BEST THING ABOUT THIS, YOU'LL SEE RIGHT THERE LAST, A NON-PAID VOLUNTEER POSITION.
UH, WHAT THIS DOES, UH, IT GIVES, UH, UH, GIVES DAVID, UH, THE AUTHORITY TO WORK WITH, UH, EPA AND WITH, UH, PCEQ, UM, AND, UH, COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS, WHOEVER HE NEEDS TO WORK WITH.
THIS GIVES HIM THE AUTHORITY TO ACTUALLY REPRESENT KAUFMAN COUNTY.
AND THIS IS, UH, COMMISSIONER CLARK MADE THESE ARRANGEMENTS WITH HIM.
WHENEVER SOMEBODY ASKS, SAYS, WELL, WHAT, WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU? ARE THEY GLAD TO HELP OUT? THERE YOU GO.
THEY BETTER BE CAREFUL WHEN THEY SAY AFTERNOON.
UH, SO COMMISSIONER CLARK CAN MAKE THAT MOTION.
SECOND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER ROW.
BE USING HIM FOR, UH, AT LEAST TO, UH, MAKE A SURVEY OUT THERE AT SOUTH CAMPUS.
THERE'S BEEN SOME CONCERNS AND COMPLAINTS, AIR QUALITY, THE AIR QUALITY OUT THERE.
SO I'VE TALKED TO DAVID ALREADY ABOUT THAT.
AND, UH, AS QUICKLY AS HE CAN, HE'S GONNA GO OUT THERE AND MAKE, WHICH THAT PROBABLY WON'T BE A NON-PAY JOB.
THE SURVEY WOULD JUST, WHATEVER MIGHT HAPPEN, THE REMEDIATION PART, BE SOMEBODY ELSE.
I NOTICED WHEN, WHEN I MEET WITH HAL AND JACK, THEY'RE ALL COUGHING AND NOT REALLY.
NEXT WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT, UH, UH, DISCUSSING, CONSIDER POINTING THE FOLLOWING INDIVIDUAL TO THE OFFICE OFFICE OF DIRECTOR OF COMAN COUNTY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT NUMBER ONE WITH THE TERMS OF OFFICE EXPIRING AS FOLLOW, ANDY ISH LO LOIST, AND, UH, SUSAN TIMS AND SEAN AND BOBBY MILL, MILAR AND SONYA VITAL EXPIRING.
EXPIRING, UH, HER NAME'S NOT EXPIRING.
FROM, UH, BIG CITY OF HOUSTON.
WELL, I, UH, UNLESS YOU MOVED TO DALLAS.
UM, I'M PLEASED TO BE HERE TODAY, JUDGE AND COMMISSIONER'S COURT.
UH, I'M HERE TO MAKE THIS REQUEST ON BEHALF OF BOARD DIRECTORS OF COLTON COUNTY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT NUMBER ONE.
UH, AS A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND, I BELIEVE THAT THIS, UH, COURT, UH, CREATED THAT DISTRICT IN 2001 OR 2002.
IT IS A COUNTY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT.
AND, AND JUST TO, UH, TO, TO, TO REMIND THE, THE COURT AND THE AUDIENCE.
UH, IT IS A CREATURE OF STATUTE.
UH, I THINK, UH, SECTION 3 8 3, THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE, UH, IS THE, UH, STATUTORY BASIS FOR ITS CREATION.
ITS PURPOSE IS TO ATTRACT VISITORS, UH, AND TOURISTS TO THE COUNTY, SPECIFICALLY TO, TO A COUNTY.
IT WAS A TOOL THAT WAS GIVEN TO THE COUNTIES, TO SMALLER RURAL COUNTIES TO BE ABLE TO COMPETE, UH, WITH LARGER, MORE URBAN COUNTIES AS A WAY TO ATTRACT, UH, PEOPLE, UH, BUSINESS AND GENERATE, UH, ECONOMIC ACTIVITY.
[00:20:01]
UH, UH, COFFEE COUNTY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT, UH, NUMBER ONE.UH, BASICALLY, UH, IT INCLUDES THE LAND WITHIN THE WINDMILL FARMS PROJECT.
UM, AS YOU MIGHT RECALL, THERE'S BEEN, THERE WAS SOME LITIGATION, UH, OVER WHAT WERE THE POWERS OF THIS DISTRICT.
AND I THINK IF YOU READ THE STATUTE, IT'S, IT'S CLEAR THESE DISTRICTS HAVE THE CLEAR AUTHORITY TO LEVY A SALES TAX, WHICH THIS DISTRICT HAS DONE.
UH, THE STATUTE GOES ON TO SAY THAT THIS DI KIND OF DISTRICT, UH, HAS THE POWERS OF THE RETAL MANAGEMENT DISTRICT.
IF YOU, UH, AND IF YOU LOOK AT THAT STATUTE, WHICH IS 3 7 5 OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE, IT GIVES THEM THE POWER TO LEVY ASSESSMENTS.
BUT IF YOU, BUT WHEN YOU READ THAT, THAT, UH, MUNICIPAL MANAGEMENT DISTRICT ACT, IT ALSO SAYS IT HAS THE POWERS OF MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT, INCLUDING THE POWER OF TAX.
AND I THINK THE ORIGINAL DEVELOPER AND HIS, UH, ATTORNEY TOOK THE APPROACH.
WELL, OUR DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT HAS ALL OF THESE POWERS.
SO WE'RE GOING TO EXERCISE THOSE TO FINANCE THIS INFRASTRUCTURE, THE WATER, THE SEWER, THE DRAINAGE, AND THE ROADS AND LITIGATION.
UH, ACTUALLY THERE WAS AN ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OPINION FOLLOWED BY A COURT CASE.
THE POWER TO TAX, THE POWER TO LEVY SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS IS SO IMPORTANT THAT IF THE LEGISLATURE MEANT FOR A COUNTY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT TO HAVE THOSE POWERS, THEY WOULD EXPRESSLY HAVE SAID THAT IN THE ACT.
SO BASICALLY, THIS ENTITY IS, ITS ITS PRIMARY, UH, REVENUE TOOL, IF YOU WILL, TO FINANCE THESE KINDS.
PROJECTS IS A SALES TAX REVENUE.
UM, NOW THE KINDS OF PROJECTS THAT, THAT, THAT CAN FINANCE THE STATUTE DOESN'T SAY ANYTHING OTHER THAN IT'S GOT TO BE SOMETHING THAT, THAT BRINGS TOURISTS AND VISITORS INTO A COUNTY.
THAT'S REALLY ALL THE GUIDANCE THAT THE STATUTE PROVIDES.
SO FAR, THIS DISTRICT HAS NOT FINANCED ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
UH, THIS DISTRICT, UH, UH, WE WERE HIRED A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO.
IT'S BEEN INACTIVE, UH, AS WE HAVE, UM, UH, HELPED, UH, UH, WE, WE WERE ALSO HIRED BY THE, UH, FRESHWATER SUPPLY DISTRICTS IN THE WINDMILL FARMS PROJECT TO ADDRESS AND TO, TO STRAIGHTEN UP SOME ISSUES.
AND NOW WE'RE AT THE POINT WHERE, UH, WE'RE FOCUSING ON, UH, PUTTING, UH, THE DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT IN GOOD STANDING AND PUTTING IT IN A POSITION WHERE IT CAN, UH, ACT ON SOME LONGSTANDING ITEMS THAT NEED TO BE, UH, RESOLVED.
UH, AS YOU MAY RECALL, UH, THERE WAS SUBSTANTIAL LITIGATION BETWEEN THE HOMEOWNERS AND THE DISTRICTS.
UH, THAT HAS, UH, BEEN RESOLVED.
BUT WE NEED THIS ENTITY TO HAVE A, A FULL BOARD SO IT CAN CONSIDER AND HOPEFULLY APPROVE THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN ADOPTED OUT THERE.
UH, UH, THERE'S ALSO A, A DISPUTE THAT WE HAD WITH RESPECT TO COSTS THAT THIS COUNTY INCURRED IN TERMS OF, UH, COURT FEES, COURT COSTS.
UH, THERE ARE ALSO, UH, WE NEED TO GET TITLE TO THE FACILITIES TRANSFERRED INTO THE APPROPRIATE WATER AND SEWER, UH, FACILITIES AND ROADS INTO THE APPROPRIATE FRESH WATER SUPPLY DISTRICT.
THEY'RE STILL IN THE NAME OF THE DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT.
SO IN ORDER FOR US TO DO THAT, JUST LIKE YOUR YOUR BOARD, WE NEED TO HAVE, UH, ONE QUALIFIED BOARD AND WE NEED TO HAVE A FORUM SO WE CAN TAKE THESE ACTS.
WE'VE HAD, UH, UH, THREE, UH, TWO PEOPLE WHO WERE APPOINTED BY THIS COMMISSION.
UH, THEY NO LONGER LIVE WITHIN THE DISTRICT.
THE THREE FOLKS THAT ARE STILL OUT THERE, UH, ONE OF 'EM NO LONGER IS WILLING TO SERVE.
AND SO, UH, WE ASKED THE BOARD PRESENT, UH, TO LOCATE SOME RESIDENTS WITHIN THE DISTRICT WHO HAVE THE QUALIFICATIONS, UH, WHO WILL BE WILLING TO SERVE TO HELP US PUT THIS DISTRICT IN GOOD STANDING AND, AND HELP IT TO COMPLETE THE RESOLUTION OF SOME LONGSTANDING ISSUES OUT LINDA PROJECT.
UH, THESE DIRECTORS, UH, ARE APPOINTED FOR THE COUNTY.
UM, SO THEY NEED TO COME TO, UH, TO YOU FOR APPOINTMENTS.
UH, THEY SERVE FOUR YEAR STAGGERED TERMS. AND, UH, JUDGE, AS YOU, AS YOU SEE, WE HAVE LISTED THE NAMES OF THE, THE TWO CURRENT, UH, PEOPLE THAT ARE ON THE BOARD THAT WISH TO BE, TO BE APPOINTED.
ANTHONY LOGAN, SUSAN TIMS, THE THREE NEW, UH, FOLKS WHO WISH TO SERVE.
UH, THEIR QUALIFICATIONS ARE SET FORTH IN, IN AN AFFIDAVIT THAT WERE FILED WITH YOU.
UH, BUT ALSO THAT YOU SEE THAT THEY SERVE DIFFERENT TERMS. THAT IS, WE'RE JUST TRYING TO KEEP, UH, UH, ALL THE, UH, APPOINTMENTS, UH, IN SYNC.
SO THAT'S WHY YOU SEE DIFFERENT, UH, DIFFERENT, UH, ESSENTIALLY THESE DIRECTORS SERVE FOUR YOUR STAGGERED, UH, TERMS. AND I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, UH, THAT Y'ALL MIGHT HAVE.
I, I WANT TO CORRECT THE STATEMENT.
I THINK THE, YOU MENTIONED THAT THIS BEING CREATED IN 2000, 2001, I THINK THE ORIGINAL DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT WAS CREATED PRIOR TO 1999.
AND, UH, AFTER THAT, WHEN THEY REALIZED THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE ALL THE AUTHORITY THEY THOUGHT THEY HAD, THEN THEY CAME BACK.
[00:25:01]
THEN AFTER IN THE YEAR, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THEN THE FRESH WATER SUPPLY DISTRICT WAS CREATED.I WASN'T, BUT THE DISTRICT NOW HAVE TAKEN OVER THESE RESPONSIBILITIES AND ARE DISCHARGING THOSE INTERCOURSE WITH THE STATUTE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE COMPLIANCE, WITH COUNTY RULES, WITH, UH, UH, WITH THE STATE RULES.
AND SO, UH, WE'RE ESSENTIALLY TRYING TO, UH, MAKE SURE THAT THIS DISTRICT FOLLOWS ITS CORRECT, UH, CHARTER, IF YOU WILL.
ITS BEEN EXERCISE ONLY THOSE POWERS THAT ARE, UH, GIVEN TO IT.
UH, BUT TO DO THAT, WE NEED TO HAVE A, A, A FULL BOARD OF, OF QUALIFIED APPOINTEES.
UH, UH, SOME OF THE RESIDENTS OUT THERE ARE HIGHLY SUSPECTS OF ANYTHING GOES ON FOR, FOR SEVERAL REASONS.
THEY WERE, UH, THEY APPROACHED ME A YEAR OR SO AGO.
I WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THIS, UH, WHAT THE DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT WOULD DO, HAS DONE WHATEVER.
I EDUCATED THE BEST THAT I COULD.
I'VE INFORMED THEM BY EMAIL AND GOT RESPONSE BACK THAT WE'RE GOING, WE WERE APPOINTING DIRECTORS TO THIS BOARD AND DIDN'T HAVE ANY CONCERNS.
THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY CONCERNS.
SO EVERYTHING IS THAT THE, THE CITIZENS THERE THAT WERE INTERESTED IN THIS ARE NOT AGAINST THIS.
AND SO THEREFORE I'M FOR IT TOO.
AND ALSO THE FACT THEY'VE GOT, UH, YOU KNOW, AIR FORCE, WHAT, WHAT'S HIS RANK IN THE AIR FORCE? UH, DOESN'T SAY RECRUIT FOR 10 YEARS OR WHATEVER.
AND THEY'VE GOT A PRINCIPLE OF THE HIGH SCHOOL ON THIS BOARD.
THEY LOOK LIKE THEY'VE GOT SOME VERY GOOD QUALIFIED PEOPLE.
SO I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE DO THIS.
UH, THERE'S SOME SPELLING PROBLEMS ON OUR AGENDA.
UH, LOBBY IS SUPPOSED TO BE ISH, WHICH IS CORRECT IN THE PAPER THAT WE'VE GOT BACK.
PAPER THAT YOU'VE GOT HERE WITH YOU.
AND THEN, UH, SEAN GILBERT IS WHAT THE OLD I SHOULD BE FIRST.
WE SHOW THOSE REFLECTIONS IN THE, UH, MINUTES.
THE, UH, FIRST, UH, TYPO IS, UH, WELL WE HAVE L-A-B-A-I-S-H.
IT SHOULD BE L-A-U-G-I-S-C-H-I-S-C-H.
SO COMMISSIONER, THAT'S DIFFERENT HANDWRITTEN, THAT'S DIFFERENT FOR YOUR YES, SIR.
THE BACKUP PAPER HAS GOT, GOT THE CORRECT SPELLING.
AND THEN SEAN O GA IS G-A-G-I-L.
THE, UH, TERM EXPIRING TERM ARE ALL THOSE DATES CORRECT? YES.
CLARK CAN MI ANN ALL THE TIME FOR THEIR EXPIRATION DATES OF THEIR TERM OF OFFICE IS CORRECT.
COMMISSIONER CLARK MAKES THE MOTION.
COMMISSIONER BROWN SECONDS IT.
ANY MORE DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR TO SAY AYE.
YOU GOT A, YOU GOT AN AIR FORCE GUY,
NEXT, UH, SHERIFF'S CHAIR REQUEST APPROVING, UH, REQUEST TO FILL EXISTING VACANCIES OF ONE DEPUTY AND ONE 15 OFFICER.
BUT I THINK WE, WE NEED TO CHANGE THAT TO TWO DETENTION OFFICERS.
NOW, THESE POSITIONS OR POSITIONS THAT WERE THERE THAT PEOPLE LEFT? YES.
AND YOU'RE JUST ASKING TO FILL THE POSITIONS? TWO DEPUTIES AND TWO DETENTION, RIGHT? UH, COMMISSIONER JACKSON BEACH.
Y'ALL THAT YOU SECOND IT THOUGH.
MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER JACKSON.
SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER DOLLAR.
