IF THERE ARE NONE, WE A MOTION TO THOSE AS PRESENTED.
SECOND MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER ROUNDS.
CARRIE, JUDGE, SIR, I'M THE ROUTINE CORRESPONDENT.
THIS FACT I GOT ON THE, UH, RESALE PROPERTY.
YOU WANT ME TO MAKE THE DECISION TO PUT IT ON THE AGENDA? UH, IS THAT PROBABLY IN YOUR PRECINCT? YEAH.
I GOT A LITTLE COMMUNICATE HERE FROM, UH, UNION PACIFIC.
IT SAYS THAT, UH, WE ALL REPAIR COUNTY ROADS, RIGHT? BE CAREFUL.
WASH THE, I JUST WANT YOU TO NOTIFY THEM WHERE THEY CAN PROVIDE SOME FLAGGERS AND KNOW THAT YOU'RE WORKING THERE WHERE THEY CAN SLOW THE TRAINS DOWN WHEN THEY APPROACH.
I DUNNO IF Y'ALL EITHER IF Y'ALL HAD SPECIFIC PROBLEMS WITH IT OR IF, UH, THEY'RE JUST WANTING EVERYBODY.
WE ACROSS PRECINCT, PRECINCT THREE, SEVERAL TRUCK BREAK DOWN.
SO IT, IT'S GOOD TO KNOW WHO TO CALL.
YEAH, WELL, YOU NOW HAVE THAT INFO.
I THINK JUST AS SOON AS YOU FIND OUT YOU'RE GONNA DO THE WORK ON THAT.
I THINK THAT WOULD BE GOOD TIME TO NOTE ANY PACIFIC RAILROADS.
PRETTY SURE THEY SAY THAT, UH, THERE'S A WORKSHOP TOMORROW AT THE CASTLE.
GOVERNMENTS CONCERNING RAILROAD CROSSINGS MIGHT BE BENEFICIAL TO YOU.
AND I JURY THE LAST LITTLE DOCUMENT, UH, SOME GOOD NEWS BRINGING, UH, ALL OF KAUFMAN COUNTY UNDER THE, UH, MED METRO.
[00:05:01]
ORGANIZATION? ORGANIZATION.SO THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I'VE PERSONALLY BEEN WORKING ON FOR ABOUT 10 YEARS, SO I'M GLAD CAME TO FRUITION.
BUT ANYWAY, FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT DIDN'T KNOW, WE ONLY HAD HALF THE COUNTY UNTIL THE DALLAS METROPOLITAN PLANNING OR, UH, AREA.
AND, UH, DALLAS COUNTY FOUGHT US COMING IN, TAKING THE WHOLE COUNTY BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO GET SOME OF THEIR MONEY, UH, WHICH HASN'T HAPPENED IN SINCE THE COUNCIL OF GOVERNANCES WAS ORGANIZED IN THE MID SIXTIES.
NOW JUDGE, WE CAN'T EVEN GET ANY FORAGE MONEY.
BUT ANYWAY, I WE'RE HAPPY THAT ALL OF COFFEE CANADA NOW IS BROUGHT INTO THE METROPOLITAN PLANNING AREA.
SO THAT MEANS THAT PRECINCT FOUR, YOU'RE NO LONGER OUT THERE ON YOUR OWN.
I DUNNO HOW MUCH MONEY IS GONNA GENERATE THE PRECINCT FOR, BUT AT LEAST YOU'RE IN THE, IN THE ORGANIZATION NOW.
WE'LL BRING IN A FEW MORE MILLION DOLLARS INTO THE TAXATION DONE UNLESS THE LEGISLATURE DECIDES, PUT THAT SOMEWHERE ELSE.
YEAH, THE LEGISLATURE'S GONNA BE ABOUT 10 TO 15 BILLION SHORT THIS THOUSAND THREE WHEN THEY MONEY, IF WE GET THE UNFUNDED, THIS WILL BE FEDERAL MONEY.
BUT IF THERE'S TOO MANY TYPES, TOO MANY STRINGS TYPES TO, WE MAY NOT WANT IT.

THIS EVENT WILL BE HELD IN MARCH AND WE'RE GONNA HOLD IT OUTTA HIDDEN ACRES.
SO IF ANY OF YOU WOULD LIKE TO COME AND VOLUNTEER, JUST LET ME KNOW.
ALSO, THE DAY HAS BEEN SET FOR THE THIRD ANNUAL BIRTHDAY AND ARBOR DAY CELEBRATION.

THIS YEAR WE WILL BE INVITING ALL THE AREA PRIVATE SCHOOLS AND TRYING TO GIVE THE HOME THE HOMESCHOOL ASSOCIATIONS TO COME AND BE INVOLVED WITH US AS WELL AS THE RESIDENTS AND THE KAMAN.
AND IN YOUR PACKAGE, YOU'LL SEE WE'RE LOOKING FOR THE LARGEST PECAN TREE THIS YEAR.
SO ANYONE THAT HAS A TREE THAT THEY THINK MIGHT BE A COMPETITOR, THE LARGEST PECAN TREES IS WHAT WE WANT TO HAVE.
THERE IS A DEADLINE ON THERE AND UM, JUST HAVE THEM SEND THE INFORMATION TO ME.
YOU'LL MEASURE IT AT FOUR AND A HALF FEET UP FROM THE GROUND IF IT HAS A CO-DOMINANT STEM.
IF IT HAS TWO STEMS, YOU MEASURE UNDERNEATH THERE.
DO ANY OF YOU HAVE THAT TREE? THAT ONE? NO.
NOW, UM, AS YOU CAN SEE THAT THERE'S NOT A DULL MOMENT IN THE KAMAN COUNTY FORCE, WHICH WHY? SO WITH YOUR PERMISSION, I WANT TO APPLY FOR A CELEBRATE URBAN TREE.
THIS IS OFFERED TO THE CORNELL LAB OF ORNITHOLOGY.
IF AWARDED THIS MINI GRANT, I WOULD BE ABLE TO DEVELOP AND ENCOURAGE CITIZENS, STUDENTS, SCOUT, TROOPS, AND EVEN VISITORS OF KAUFMAN COUNTY TO GET OUTSIDE AND LEARN MORE ABOUT BIRDS AND NATURE.
THE MANY GRANTS WILL AVERAGE AROUND 250 TO $500.
I WANNA THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR CONCERN IN THE RESIDENTS OF KAMAN COUNTY.
AS I TELL EACH PERSON I MEET WITHOUT HEALTHY TREES IN KAUFFMAN COUNTY, WE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO BREATHE CLEAN AIR.
AND IT IS BECAUSE OF YOU, OUR COUNTY OFFICIALS, THAT WE ARE WORKING TO PRESERVE AND PROTECT THE NUMBER ONE RESOURCE IN OUR COUNTY, OUR TREES.
DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? I HAVE ONE.
ARE THERE ANY MATCHING FUNDS THAT GO WITH THOSE MINI GRANTS? THERE ARE NOT.
AND UM, WHAT MY IDEAS WOULD BE FOR THAT GRANT IS TO PICK CERTAIN LOCATIONS.
CAMP ISD IS THEIR PRIMARY IS A PERFECT LOCATION DOWN THERE.
THERE'S A TEACHER THAT'S VERY INTERESTED IN IT AND ALREADY HAS A FEW BIRD FEEDERS UP.
AND WHEN I SPOKE TO HER CHILDREN THIS WEEK, UM, THE BIRDS WERE, WERE VERY, YOU KNOW, COMING UP AND EATING.
SO IF WE COULD PUT A SMALL BED OUT THERE, PUT A BIRD FEEDER IN BIRD HOUSES, AND THEN, UM, MAYBE SOME, SOME PLANTS THAT WOULD GO ALONG.
SOMETHING IN THE RED COLOR AND THINGS LIKE THAT, THAT CERTAIN BIRDS WOULD LIKE TO ENCOURAGE THEM TO COME.
AND THEN I'D LIKE TO USE THE SOUTH CAMPUS.
WE ALREADY HAVE THE SHRUBS, THE PLANTS THERE JUST TO PUT A STOPPING SPOT FOR SOMEONE TO COME IN AND LOOK AT.
AND IF WE HAD MORE FUNDS AVAILABLE, THEN WE WOULD CHOOSE OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS TO GO INTO.
WELL YOU PUT SOME HUMMINGBIRD FEEDERS UP TOO.
YOU WOULD, YOU WOULD PUT ALL DIFFERENT TYPE OF BIRD FEEDERS.
NOW THERE IS A LIST OF BIRDS THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR AND THE CRITERIA FOR ME IS TO HAVE A CELEBRATION AND THAT'S NOT A PROBLEM WITH ME.
I LIKE TO CELEBRATE OUTSIDE AND UM, I WOULD ALSO BE LOOKING FOR THE DIFFERENT BREEDS OF BIRDS TO COME IN, THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF BIRDS.
AND KEEPING KIND OF A TALLY ON THAT WOULD ALSO HELP GET, YOU KNOW, EVERYONE OUTSIDE, ESPECIALLY THE GIRL SCOUTS AND BOY SCOUTS IN OUR AREA.
MAYBE THEY COULD BE IN CHARGE OF KEEPING THAT TALLY IN CERTAIN AREAS.
ALRIGHT, WE SHOULD HAVE AN I FAIR FEEDER UP OUT AT THE SOUTH.
WE SHOULD, WE NEED TO GET ONE OUT THERE.
[00:15:03]
ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? DOES SHE NEED AUTHORIZATION TO WHAT? YEAH, I WAS JUST SAYING MAKE SURE IT WAS ON THE AGENDA TO DISCUSS AND CONSIDER APPROVING APPLYING FOR A MINI GRANT TO DO THE CORNELL LAB OF, UH, WHAT ORNITHOLOGY CITY.YEAH, IT'S ON THE AGENDA, JIM.

[00:20:01]
LOCAL REGISTRARS, OUT OF WHICH ONLY 45 COUNTY CLERKS RECEIVED THIS AWARD.AND WE ARE HAPPY TO KNOW THAT OUR CLERK'S OFFICE RECEIVED THE EXEMPLARY FIVE STAR AWARD AND WE WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THEIR HARD WORK THIS MORNING.
OKAY, SO YOU HAVE THE PLAQUE DOWN THERE, LADIES? YES SIR.
OKAY, WELL CONGRATULATIONS AND THANK YOU.
WE, UH, ARE PROUD OF THE WORK Y'ALL DID.
OH, THIS, GET LAURA NOW EVERYBODY LOOK THIS WAY AND SMILE.
TAKE IT BACK TO FOR JUST A MINUTE.
CONGRATULATIONS LAURA AND LADIES APPRECIATE THE HARD WORK.
OKAY, NEXT WE WANT TO DISCUSS THE, AND CONSIDER CLARIFICATION OF THE AUGUST 17TH, 2009 RESOLUTION CONCERNING THE 2009, 2008 COUNTY BUDGET AND NEW EQUIPMENT PURCHASES.
UH, JACKSON CALLED ME AND, UH, ASKED ME, UH, TO WHAT EXTENT, UH, THE COMMISSIONER'S COURT MEANT THAT TO GO.
AND I SAID, WELL, THAT IS WRITTEN RIGHT NOW.
AND, UH, HE BROUGHT UP THE FACT, WELL, DO WE WANT TO, UH, DO THEY HAVE COME TO COMMISSIONER'S COURT TO PURCHASE A TYPING PAPER? DO THEY HAVE TO COME TO COMMISSIONER'S COURT TO PURCHASE A A NEW, UH, XEROX MACHINE IF THEIRS IS OUT? UH, AND I COULDN'T ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS, SO I ASKED JACK TO PUT IT ON THE AGENDA AND COME UP AND LET'S JUST DISCUSS WHAT, WHAT, TO WHAT EXTENT WE WANT TO CARRY THAT.
UH, OBVIOUSLY A BIG MAINTAINER WOULD BE DIFFERENT THAN A TYPEWRITER OR A LAPTOP COMPUTER, BUT, UH, SO THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT WE NEED TO DISCUSS.
WHAT, WHAT, JACK, I'M GONNA TURN IT OVER TO YOU FIRST AND, AND LET THE COURT KNOW SOME OF THE PROBLEMS THAT'S PRESENTED AND, AND, AND WHAT YOU NEED TO BE CLARIFIED ON.
UH, WHAT JEFF MENTIONED, LOOK CLARIFICATION ON THIS, I'M SURE THE INTENT WAS, UH, IT DOESN'T MENTION EQUIPMENT, UH, BUT KIND OF BROAD WHAT WE'RE CALLING EQUIPMENT IS THAT LAPTOPS, UH, COMPUTERS AND HEAVY EQUIPMENT.
UM, WANNA GET CLARIFICATION ON THAT? MAYBE IT NEEDS TO BE A, UH, DOLLAR AMOUNT.
THE COURT WANTS TO SEE ANYTHING 10,000, 15,000.
THE, THERE'S LOT OF OF THINGS THAT THAT NOT BROUGHT TO COURT.
UH, IF THEY'RE H CONTRACT PRESENT, SEE THAT AUTHORITY, UH, GO AND BUY A BATTERY 10 15 IN CARS ON HC CONTRACTORS, FOR EXAMPLE, Y'ALL THAT A DOLLAR LIMIT THAT I CAN BUY WITHOUT APPROVAL.
DO YOU HAVE A SUGGESTION FOR A DOLLAR AMOUNT, COMMISSIONER? I'M THINKING I'M, I'M JUST GONNA THROW A NUMBER OUT THERE.
YOU KNOW, 10,000, 15,000, UH, OF COURSE ALL YOUR WORK AT ONE TIME, THE BID APARTMENTS 25,000 NOW, NOW IT'S UP TO 50,000.
UH, THIS ISSUE CAME UP BECAUSE I WAS LOOKING TO BUY A PIECE OF EQUIPMENT.
I REMEMBER THAT WE, WE PROVED THIS RESOLUTION AND SO WE'D HELD OFF ON IT.
UH, I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM FOLLOWING THE WAY THE RESOLUTION WAS WRITTEN TO START WITH.
JUST, JUST MAKE US HAVE TO PLAN AT LEAST 10 DAYS IN ADVANCE TO BE ABLE TO GET SOMETHING ALONG YOUR AGENDA.
UH, I HATE SEEING BECAUSE WE COULD HAVE THE SAME ISSUE THAT WE HAD LAST AUGUST, THIS COMING APRIL MAY.
I'LL TELL WHEN I'D LIKE FOR IT TO STAY LIKE IT IS.
IT'D BE, UH, A BURDEN ON JACK TO, YOU KNOW, NOT HAVE A LIMIT ON THERE.
[00:25:01]
MEAN WE HAD LINE ITEM TRANSFERS CAN BE LIMIT ON THERE AND THERE WAS, UH, WE DON'T HAVE IT WRITTEN ON THE EXHIBIT TO DO LINE ITEM THING, BUT I WOULDN'T MIND, YOU KNOW, HAVING A, A LOWER LIMIT ON THAT ONE.WE DIDN'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH
UH, THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF, UH, KNOWLEDGE WHAT'S GOING ON AND WE DON'T WANT GET IN, WE DON'T WANT TO GET INTO THE RED.
I DON'T, AND IT, AND I'M ASSUMING IT WOULD PROBABLY AFFECT THE COMMISSIONERS MORE THAN WHAT ANYBODY ELSE WASN'T POSSIBLY THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT.
BUT IF WE CAN, YOU KNOW, LIKE I SAY, MOST IT WOULD, UH, PUT US OFF WOULD BE LIKE 10 DAYS BEFORE WE GET SOMETHING ON THE AGENDA.
BUT IF WE, IF WE, IF WE GIVE CERTAIN AMOUNT, WOULD HE JUST WOULDN'T GO OVER IF YOU THINK IT WOULD PUT US, I HE HAVE HE NOT HAVE THOSE RECORDS VERSUS WHAT EXACTLY HAVE YEAH, I'M THINKING, YOU KNOW, MY OPINION, THE THE DOLLAR AMOUNT WOULD BE GOOD TO SET A DOLLAR AMOUNT THERE.
THERE'S GONNA BE THINGS, UH, IF IT'S A LAPTOP, THIS COMPUTER, SURE.
Y'ALL DON'T WANT TO SEE, YOU KNOW, OFF UNTIL THE NEXT MEETING.
A LAPTOP COMPUTER, FOR EXAMPLE, THE DAY THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE DID SOME, UH, IT'S SITUATION AND, AND THEY CAN'T BE, CAN'T HOLD OFF ON THINGS LIKE THAT.
AND UH, I MADE THE CALL TO APPROVE THAT, UH, IT COULD BE SET EQUIPMENT, BUT IT WAS SENSITIVE EQUIPMENT THAT HAD YOUR PLACE.
MR. YORK STOOD UP AND, AND WALKED FORWARD.
LIKE HE WANTS TO SAY SOMETHING REGARD WITH YOUR PERMISSION, JUDGE
BUT CERTAINLY ANY NEW, SOMETHING NEW THAT WE DON'T, IT'S NOT REQUIRED FOR THE DAY-TO-DAY ACTIVITIES.
I'M, I'M BOARD NOT SURE WE HAVE NO PROBLEM, YOU KNOW, LETTING THE COURT KNOW EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE DOING, WHAT WE'RE BUYING.
BUT IN LIKE IN THE CASE OF THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE, IF WE HAD EQUIPMENT FAIL OUT THERE, YOU KNOW, SWITCHES, ROUTERS, A SERVER, WHATEVER, YOU KNOW, WE WOULD UH, LIKE TO DO THAT.
LIKE IT HAPPENS AT 10 O'CLOCK ON FRIDAY NIGHT.
BECAUSE YOU WON'T HAVE THEM IN DAYTIME.
WHEN EVERYBODY'S HERE IN, WELL AN EXAMPLE OF SOME OF THE THINGS WE'VE BUDGETED FOR INFRASTRUCTURE THINGS, UH, OUT OF THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE WE HAVE A SET OF BATTERIES TO GO AT THE BASE OF ALL THE RACKS FOR, YOU KNOW, WHEN THE POWER GOES OUT, IT KEEPS ALL THE EQUIPMENT UP.
AND PART OF THE THINGS WE BUDGETED FOR IN THIS BUDGET HERE WAS TO REPLACE ALL THE BATTERIES.
SO RIGHT NOW WE HAVE A STACK OF BATTERIES OUT THERE READY TO QUIT.
WE CAN FORESEE THAT AND YOU KNOW, PREDICT THAT SORT OF THING.
BUT WHO KNOWS IF, UH, THERE WAS A MAJOR ISSUE WITH EITHER THE RADIO COMMUNICATION SYSTEM OR, OR ANY IT INFRASTRUCTURE WE'D HAVE TO REACT TO IMMEDIATELY.
BUT OTHER THAN THAT, I MEAN, SURE, I MEAN ANYTHING NEW THAT WOULDN'T BE IN THAT CONDITION WOULD BE FINE.
IS THERE WAVE TO WORD THAT WHERE HE COULD HANDLE THOSE TYPE SITUATIONS? WOULD, WOULD WE GIVE JACK AUTHORITY TO DO THAT OR HOW WOULD THAT BE? DEPENDS ON THE SIZE OF THE EXPENDITURE.
WELL THE DOCUMENT I THINK READS ANY NEW EQUIPMENT PURCHASES.
THIS WOULD BE, WE WOULD CONSIDER THAT A REPAIR, NOT A NEW EQUIPMENT PURCHASE.
OR COULD WE GIVE THE JUDGE THE AUTHORITY? WHAT I WAS GONNA SAY IS THAT, UH, YOU KNOW, IF IT'S A TRUE EMERGENCY AND SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE, THEN UH, YOU KNOW, THEY CAN CALL NAVY.
UH, BUT I THINK WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS NOT EMERGENCY SITUATIONS.
IT IS, BUT JUDGE, I THINK TO SEE DOWN THE WHOLE COUNTY, FOR EXAMPLE, I GUESS IF, UH, ONE OF THE COMMISSIONERS NEEDS TO BUY, YOU KNOW, THREE CHAINSAWS, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE TREES ARE DOWN OR SOMETHING, THAT, THAT COULD BE CONSIDERED EQUIPMENT.
AND I HATE TO SAY GET INTO A SITUATION LIKE THAT I THINK, DON'T OUT SPEAK THIS, BUT I THINK MAYBE THE INTENT I'M ASSUMING WAS JUST FOR HIGH DOLLAR ITEMS OR YOU KNOW, THE JOB LOOK AT MAYBE NEW EQUIPMENT.
[00:30:01]
THERE, WHAT WE'RE CONSIDERING EQUIPMENT, UH, I THINK WE MEANT SOMETHING LIKE CARS OR BIG HEAVY EQUIPMENT.DID WE, WE NEVER BEEN INTENDED FOR THIS TO, UH, APPLY TO A 2050 LAPTOP, DID WE? NO.
WELL, AT THE TIME WE DID, BUT, BUT UH, RIGHT NOW WE'RE IN A DIFFERENT SITUATION FINANCIALLY THAN WE WERE WHEN WE PASSED THAT RESOLUTION.
UH, I I'M LIKE JACK, I THINK, UH, A DOLLAR AMOUNT, UH, EXCLUDING EMERGENCY SITUATIONS.
UH, I MEAN YOU'VE GOT SAY ALL THE WATER FLOWS DOWN TO THE SOUTH AND HE HAS, UH, COMMISSIONER, UH, DOLLAR HAS A BRIDGE WASHED OUT AND HIS UH, UH, FRONT END LOADER OR WHATEVER HE NEEDS TO REPAIR THAT AND IT'S STILL PULLING DOWN RAIN AND IT'S SATURDAY NIGHT.
UH, A SITUATION LIKE THAT AT LEAST WHERE YOU GOTTA GO, RINS SOME EQUIPMENT, WOULDN THAT IT WOULDN'T GET PURCHASED, BUT STILL AS FALLS, SAME TYPE OF SITUATION.
I HAVE AN ISSUE RIGHT NOW, IN FACT, I'M BORROWING A ROT FROM RAY.
I GOT THREE ROLLERS THAT WENT DOWN AT THE SAME TIME.
I BELIEVE THAT I NEED TO GO PURCHASE A COUPLE OF THEM.
THURSDAY IS THE AUCTION AND THERE'S TWO AT THE AUCTION THAT I NEED.
AND I'M GONNA GUESS THESE ROLLERS ARE GONNA RUN BETWEEN 10 AND 12,000.
UH, SO THAT'S THE SITUATION THAT ZACH IS REFERRING TO.
AND JUDGE, I, I'LL MAKE A RECOMMENDATION THAT WE SET IT AT, AT A DOLLAR AMOUNT, WHETHER IT BE 10,000, 15,000, AND THEN MAYBE IF THERE'S THINGS THAT ARE DONE LIKE THAT, THAT ARE, THAT ARE MERCY THAT I, MAYBE I GIVE A LIST OF THE COURT OF THAT IT WAS, I I MADE, MADE A CALL THAT IT WAS EMERGENCY AND, AND PROVIDE THAT LIST OF COURT AT THE NEXT AVAILABLE MEETING.
AND I THINK WE MIGHT WANT TO THROW ANOTHER PROVISO IN THERE FOR TIME FOR YOU TO CONTACT EITHER HAL OR JOHNNY TO SEE IF THE CASH MONEY'S ACTUALLY THERE THAT CAN PAY FOR.
I MEAN THAT WOULDN'T BE ANY BIG DEAL.
MOST OF THE COMMISSIONERS WOULD KNOW WHETHER THEY'VE GOT THE CASH MONEY THERE AND THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT KNOW WHETHER THEY'VE GOT THE CASH MONEY THERE OR NOT.
IT'D BE SOME OF THE OTHERS THAT MIGHT BE A LITTLE, UH, LESS KNOWLEDGEABLE OF THEIR BUDGET SO TO, BUT UH, IN OUR CASE WE PROBABLY COULD LEASE SOMETHING REAL QUICK.
I DON'T KNOW IF THAT, IF THIS JUST BEEN PURCHASED OR IF IT MEANT LEASE AND PURCHASED.
SO, UH, PURCHASED SEVERAL YEARS AGO, UM, THERE WAS A BRIDGE WASHED OUT AND UH, THERE WAS ABOUT 200 FAMILIES I THINK STRANDED AND I EVEN TOOK MY JEEP OVER THERE AND SHUTTLED PEOPLE BACK AND FORTH IN MY JEEP.
THE ONES THAT NEED TO GET OUT BECAUSE THERE WOULDN'T ANY WAY TO GET TO THEM OTHER THAN TO A VERY, VERY MUD LAKE DOWN.
BUT, UH, AND SOMETHING ELSE LIKE PUT OUT THERE, UH, IT'S NOT EVEN RELATED, IT'S NOT CALLED EQUIPMENT, BUT FOR EXAMPLE, LET'S SAY A DEPARTMENT, UH, HAS A ADDITIONAL KIND OF SOFTWARE COMES UP, YOU KNOW, AND IT'S 10,000, 15,000.
IT, IT'S BELOW THE, ANY KIND OF GOOD REQUIREMENT THAT I WOULD GO AHEAD AND NORMALLY JUST DO THAT MIGHT BE ONE BE CONSIDERED AS WELL.
TAKE EQUIPMENT OF IT OFF, JUST HAVE ANY, ANY EXPENDITURE PERIOD ALL ABOUT ANY SOFTWARE OF THAT AMOUNT WE WOULD NEED TO PRESENT TO THE COURT ANYWAY.
WE WOULD KNOW, WE WOULD NEED TO SHOW THAT WE DID ALL DUE DILIGENCE AND THAT A COMMITTEE, UH, VALIDATED THAT SOFTWARE AND PRESENTED IN THAT WAY.
I DON'T, I DON'T SEE WHY WE WOULD EVERYBODY SOFTWARE JUST FLY LIKE THAT? WELL WE HAVE, I MEAN WE HAVEN'T PASSED IT AT, AT THE JAIL FOR INSTANCE, YOU KNOW, ON THAT SYSTEM WHERE THEY'RE MONITORING PRISONERS OR WHATEVER, UM, WHICH OBVIOUSLY THERE'S A NEED FOR IT, BUT THAT THERE AGAIN, IT WAS UNDER THAT DOLLAR AMOUNT THAT HAVE THE AUTHORITY GO AHEAD AND BUY WHERE THE COURT WILL SEE THAT.
BUT I'M GETTING, WELL LIKELY, LIKE YOU'RE SAYING, ANY KIND OF MAJOR SOFTWARE PURCHASE WOULD BE OVER THERE.
BUT THERE ARE THINGS HAPPEN WE DO ON A DAILY BASIS THAT ARE BELOW THE BID REQUIREMENT THAT I DO.
I EQUIPMENT, EQUIPMENT OFF ANYI YOU.
WHAT WAS THE DOLLAR AMOUNT SHE RECOMMENDED? OFF TOP OF MY HEAD, I'M THINKING 10 TO 15,000, MAYBE 10,000.
I MEAN LY BEFORE WE WERE FIND ANYTHING BELOW 25.
AND NOW IT'S BEEN RAISED 51 TIME HER OFFICE THING OR 10 EVERY WEEK.
[00:35:04]
SO WOULD THAT BE 10 FOR ONE TIME FOR ONE, WOULD THAT BE 10 LIMIT? THINK 10,000 AND THEN COME BACK FROM APPROVAL? THAT IS IF YOU USE UP TO 10,000 OR JUST SAY FOR INSTANCE IF YOU GIVE SOMETHING COSTS YOU 4,000, WHAT WOULD BE THE PRIORITY FOR SOMETHING UP TO 10,000? I THINK YOU'D HAVE LOOK INDIVIDUAL PURCHASE AND MAYBE I'M WRONG.IS IT CUMULATIVE? WHAT IF THEY BOUGHT THREE, $4,000 ITEMS? YEAH.
OR TWO ITEMS. A TOTAL 12,000 JUDGE.
I WOULD SAY ANY, ANY PERSONAL ORDER THAT EXCEEDS YOU, EXCEEDS WHATEVER THE AMOUNT, WHETHER IT'S THREE ONE THING OR ONE ONE THING.
LONG AS THAT PO IS LESS THAN THAT DOLLAR AMOUNT AND IF JIM IN NEED SOMETHING THAT IT COULD GIVE MIGHT DEPEND WHAT BID, BUT IF IT THAT EXTRA MONEY YEAH, BECAUSE I GIVE HIM AUTHORITY TO GO AHEAD AND FIRST THAT HIS BUDGET WHATEVER, TO BUY A ORDER AND CLOSE TOO HIGH BE YOUR DECISION SINCE HE DOESN'T HAVE TIME TO PUT THAT ON THE AGENDA.
UH, 15,000 WOULD SERVE YOUR NEEDS AND SOLVE SOME OF YOUR PROBLEMS. YES SIR.
AND I I'M HAPPY Y'ALL, Y'ALL ON WELL IT WAS 25.
WELL THAT FOR HE'S NEVER HAD A, OTHER THAN GOING OUT FOR BIDS, THERE'S NEVER BEEN A RESTRICTION ON IT.
UNTIL WE PASS THAT RESOLUTION.
BASICALLY I COME TO COURT, JUDGE MENTIONED IF I HAVE A NEED TO ADVERTISE OR SIGN A CONTRACT AND THERE WE BUY THAT DON'T REQUIRE THAT, THAT Y'ALL MAY WANT TO SEE, MAYBE DON'T SEE CURRENTLY UNTIL, WELL 15 WOULD KIND OF PUT IT HALFWAY, YOU KNOW, SAY, BUT GIVE YOU ENOUGH AUTHORITY TO HANDLE WHAT YOU THINK NEEDS TO BE HANDLED.
BY THE SAME TOKEN, IF SINGLE PURCHASE ORDER'S GONNA GO 15, YOU'LL BRING IT TO THE COURT BEFORE YOU OKAY IT TO PURCHASE.
DOESN'T MEAN THEY'RE NOT GONNA GET IT, IT'S JUST YEAH.
DOESN'T MEAN THEY'RE NOT GONNA GET IT.
IT JUST MEANS 10 OR WEEKS PAY.
AND, AND ON THE WORK ON THE
DO YOU HAVE MY CELL PHONE?
WELL, JUDGE, I'D LIKE TO MAKE THAT MOTION THEN THAT WE, UH, SET A $15,000 DOLLAR AMOUNT FOR JACK EXCLUDING EMERGENCIES AND UH, UH, ITEMS THAT WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT FROM AN EMERGENCY HE WOULD GIVE YOU A CALL, GIVE THE JUDGE A CALL AND, UH, CLEAR IT WITH THEM.
DID YOU GET THAT LAURA? I HAPPY HE'S GONNA GIVE THE AUTHORITY PURCHASING AUTHORITY TO THE PURCHASE AGENT FOR NEW PURCHASE ORDER THAT EXCEEDS 15,000 EXCLUDING EMERGENCIES.
IS THAT OKAY? IS THAT NO, HE HAS THE AUTHORITY TO DO IT UNDER 15.
DOES THAT COVER YOUR PURCHASE STAGE FOR THIS WEEK? I THINK, I DUNNO WHAT THEY GO FOR, BUT I'M GONNA GUESS OR YOU GONNA EAT ONE, TWO ABOUT, THEY GO FOR IT'S NOT A GOOD TIME TO SELL, UH, HEAVY EQUIPMENT TO BUY GOOD TIME TO BUY.
IF NOT, I CAN CALL THE JUDGE FROM THE AUCTION BARN.
JUDGE IF YOU'D LIKE TO SEE A LIST OR, UH, AT THE NEXT MEETING IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT IS EMERGENCY THAT ASK OVER THAT APPEAL.
IF, IF THE SITUATION ARISE, I'M WAITING FOR LAURA, TELL SHE'S READ BACK TO US.
I DON'T, I DIDN'T MEAN TO PUT YOU ON
[00:40:01]
PURCHASE ORDER UNDER 15,000 EXCLUDING EMERGENCY PURCHASES, WHEREAS JUDGE OVER 50, NO.YEAH, I WAS LIKE, THIS IS YOU TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT AN OUTSIDE FIT AUTHORITY PURCHASE NOT EXCEED 15 NEW EQUIPMENT THAT DOES NOT EXCEED 15,000 IN ANY ONE PURCHASE ORDER.
AND ANY ONE PURCHASE ORDER HAS, AND COMMISSIONER ROUND MAKES THE MOTION.
COMMISSIONER JACKSON SECONDS IT.
NOW IN OUR DISCUSSION, UH, I'VE GOT A QUESTION THAT HAS COME UP SEVERAL TIMES SINCE AUGUST, UH, HAVE A SITUATION PARTICULARLY ON LIKE, UH, HAL AND I DISCUSSED THIS, UH, EXTRA HELP OR TEMPORARY HELP, UH, THE PERSON YOU'VE BEEN USING FOR SEVERAL YEARS QUITS DOESN'T COME BACK.
ALRIGHT? DOES THE OFFICE HOLDER HAVE COME BACK TO THE COMMISSIONER'S COURT TO FILL THAT EMPTY POSITION? THAT'S IT.
REHIRES, UH, LIKE, LIKE SOMEBODY IN THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT, SOMEBODY QUITS MM-HMM
AND THEY CAN REHIRE THAT PERSON, BUT IF YOU, YOU LOSE AN EXTRA HELP, THAT'S, THAT'S AN EMPLOYEE, RIGHT? EXTRA.
BUT ADDING A NEW EXTRA HELP, THAT'S OKAY.
THAT'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN TELLING PEOPLE.
SO I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT, THAT WE WERE TELLING PEOPLE CORRECTLY ON THERE.
WE'RE ALL IN FAVOR OF THIS MOTION.
YOU BROUGHT ME THAT'S BY THE SAME ISSUE.
I BY THE WATER, WATER, BUT, UH, THINKING NOW, UH, I'M, I'M ASSUMING THIS WOULD LIKE INCLUDE CONTRACTS.
LET'S SAY THAT THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE HAS A CONTRACT FOR UNIFORMS AND IT'S A PO AND THEY PLACED AN ORDER AND THEY ORDER 15,000 OR COMMISSIONER GLOVES OUT AND BUY SOME, UH, RAW MATERIAL WITH THE PO AND IT EXCEEDS MORE THAN, UH, 15,000.
WELL, THIS BE NON-CONTRACT ITEMS. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT EQUIPMENT NOT THE WAY THIS THING WAS WORDED WAS EQUIPMENT PURCHASE WAS NEW EQUIPMENT PURCHASING.
I DON'T THINK IT WAS APPLY TO THAT IN MY MIND.
NOT BECAUSE OF THE, THE, THE RESOLUTION STATES AND DID AT THE TIME AND STILL STATES NEW EQUIPMENT.
SO WOULD THAT, WOULD THAT NOT INCLUDE THE SOFTWARE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT? I THINK IT WOULD ALSO, I I I THINK ACTUALLY YOU COULD, YOU KNOW, A UNIFORM IS THE EQUIPMENT OF A POLICE OFFICER'S, YOU KNOW, THAT'S, YEAH.
COMMISSIONER CLARK, YOUR QUESTION, YOUR COMMENT, MY QUESTION WAS GONNA BE IN THAT SAME
WE TALKED WITH HAL, HE'S COME UP WITH A SIMILAR JACK.
WE DON'T WANNA BE INUNDATED WITH EVERY 200 LINE ITEM TRANSFER.
WE GIVE HIM AUTHORITY TO DO SOME OF THOSE TRANSFER THE SAME THING AS SAID ALL OF THEM.
WELL, IF I CAN SPEAK, THE OTHER PROBLEM WITH THAT, IT SAYS LINE TRANSFERS MUST BE APPROVED PRIOR TO THE INITIATION WITH EXPENDITURES.
THE PROBLEM WITH THAT IS THOSE PROFESSIONAL DUTIES, IF THEY GO UP $50, WE DON'T KNOW IT UNTIL THAT INITIATION OF EXPENDITURE HAS OCCURRED ON IT.
SO THERE'S NO WAY TO FOLLOW THIS POLICY.
YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M SAYING? WE DON'T KNOW IT'S GONE UP UNTIL YOU GET THE BILL.
SO THE EXPENDITURE HAS BEEN INITIATED, BUT WE DO I PAY THAT BILL? NO, WE DON'T.
YOU CAN ALWAYS DENY PAY WITH A BILL.
THE PROBLEM IS I CAN'T SUBMIT A LINE ON TRANSFER PRIOR TO THE INITIATION OF EXPENDITURE WITHOUT VIOLATION BECAUSE IT'S ALREADY HAPPENED.
WELL, WOULD A, WOULD A DOLLAR AMOUNT YES.
CARRIERS JUST THE, THE SAME WHAT WHAT COMMISSIONER AND I TALKED ABOUT WAS, WAS MAYBE A THOUSAND DOLLARS AT THIS TIME.
WELL DO WE NEED TO PUT THAT ON THE AGENDA FOR NEXT WEEK? YEAH, WE PUT THAT ON.
THAT, THAT ANGIE, UH, NOT TO YOUR,
[00:45:01]
I'M JUST WONDERING IF IT SHOULD SAY EQUIPMENT OR EXPENDITURE CLARIFICATION.JUST CHANGE IT TO EQUIPMENT FOR EXPENDITURE THAT YES, MR. ROUND YOU AGREE TO THAT? THE MODIFICATION OF YOUR MOTION.
YOU AGREE TO THAT MODIFICATION? I'M TAKE EQUIPMENT OUT.
IT DOESN'T SAY WHAT? OH, JUST SAY EXPENDITURE'S.
YOU SAY, OH, I SEE WHAT YOU SAYING.
JACK, YOU'RE SAYING EXPENDITURES.
I'M PLEAD THAT TAPE THAT WE DON'T HAVE ANY DISAGREEMENT ON WHAT'S EQUIPMENT, WHAT'S NOT THE DEFINITION OF TERMS. YES SIR.
JUST EXPENDITURES AND THAT COVERS EVERYTHING.
ANY MORE DISCUSSION? ALL MOTION CARRIED? YEAH, I HAVE IT DOWN IN YEAH, YOU'RE, YOU APPROVE GIVING THE PURCHASING AGENT AUTHORITY FOR ANY NEW EXPENDITURES NOT TO EXCEED 15,000 IN ANY ONE PURCHASE.
APPROVED BY IES CAN APPROVED BY THE JUDGE.
SPELL ALL THE WORDS RIGHT JOHN, NO MORE DISCUSSION.
THE, UH, TEXAS ASSOCIATION OF COUNTIES BASED THEIR MEMBERSHIP DUE ACCORDING TO THE POPULATION OF THE COUNTY AND UH, THERE'S A GUIDELINE THAT THEY HAVE, UH, THEY BILLED US FOR OUR ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP DUE AS $1,560.
THAT MEANS THAT THEY HAVE OUR POPULATION OF TEXAS ASSOCIATION COUNTIES THAT THEY, OUR YEARS ON, UH, POPULATION BETWEEN 50 AND 74,000.
YEAH, IT WAS A 2000 CENSUS, UH, SHOWED US AT 71,000.
AND SO THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE GOING BY.
AND UH, AND ACTUALLY TECHNICALLY THAT'S THE ONLY REAL FIGURE THEY'VE GOT TO GO BY.
AND UH, SO IT'S TIME TO PAY OUR ANNUAL COUNTIES AND, AND LIKE I SAY, THEY BASED OUR DUE NUMBER ON THE POPULATION OF 71,000 AND THAT MAKES OUR DUE 1560 PER YEAR WHAT WE GET FROM TEXAS COUNTIES.
[00:50:01]
OF A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER.CARRIE? SPEAKING OF LINE ITEM TRANSFER JUDGE, WE ACTUALLY HAVE NONE.
HOWEVER, WE ARE CERTIFYING ADDITIONAL REVENUES IN THE DIVERSION COURT.
3040 $5 USE FOR COURT PRIOR TO ANY EXPENDITURES BEING MADE.
WE ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE THAT.
CARRIE, ALWAYS HAPPY TO ACKNOWLEDGE NEW MONEY'S COMING IN.
