[00:00:04]
COMMISSIONER JACKSON, YOU OPEN US UP THIS MORNING AND BE MINDFUL OF COMMISSIONER.
WE ASK THAT YOU LOOK DOWN ON THIS COMMISSIONER COURT.
LOOK DOWN ON THE GENTLEMAN THAT SIT ON THE COURT.
BLESS US IN OUR DECISION MAKING ON TODAY.
THEN FATHER, WE ASK THE SPECIAL BLESSING ON RAY CLARK AND HIS FAMILY.
BE WITH THEM AT THIS TIME OF BEREAVEMENT.
THEN FATHER, WE ASK THAT YOU LOOK DOWN UPON THIS GREAT COUNTRY, LOOK DOWN UPON THE LEADERS OF BLESS OUR TROOPS OVERSEAS, STANDING HOME WITH, BLESS THEM THAT THEY MAY HAVE A SAFE RETURN BACK HOME.
ALL THIS WE ASK IN OUR SON JESUS NAME, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND THE REPUBLIC FOR WE STANDS ONE NATION OF THEIR GOD, INDIVIDUAL WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL UNDER IGI TO BE ONE STATE UNDER GOD, ONE AND INVIS D-DAY PLUS ONE.
Y'ALL PREVIOUSLY HAVE BEEN PROVIDED.
NO ADDITIONS ARE CORRECTIONS, NO MOTIONS MADE BY COMMISSIONER R, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER DELLER.
A MOTION CARRIED FIRST UP THIS MORNING, WE HAVE ON THE AGENDA, EXCUSE ME, KATHY MORRIS.
WE'RE GONNA DISCUSS, CONSIDER APPROVING AN LOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COUNTY AND THE CITY OF TERRELL FOR JOINT USE OF AN EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER LOCATED IN THE CITY OF TYRO.
UH, THE ACTUAL LOCATION IS 400 INDUSTRIAL BOULEVARD, AND THIS IS STEVE LEWIS BRAINCHILD.
HE CAME UP WITH THE IDEA, AND I THINK IT WILL SERVE EVERYBODY'S PURPOSES.
AS YOU KNOW, THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS WE'VE TRIED TO GET GRANTS TO BUILD AN EOC OUT IN THE FACILITY THAT MY OFFICE IS HOUSED IN, IN THE OLD JAIL.
UM, THOSE GRANTS ARE VERY COMPETITIVE IN THE STATE OF TEXAS, AND IF THEY DO, IT IS JUST FOR ONE.
AND WE'VE NOT BEEN SELECTED AGAIN AS A FACILITY THAT THEY, THEY'VE REFURBISHED INTO A TRAINING CENTER AND THEY WANTED TO CREATE AN EOC.
SO THEY'VE GOT THE FACILITY, THEY'VE GOT THE DATA LINES, THEY'VE GOT THE PHONE LINES.
WHAT THEY DON'T HAVE IS EQUIPMENT.
WE HAVE EQUIPMENT THAT WE'VE RECEIVED OFF THE GRANTS FROM THE CITY'S READINESS INITIATIVE THAT WE CAN USE IN THIS EOC.
WE HAVE, WE'VE GOT FIVE, FIVE LAPTOPS, FIVE LAPTOPS, OVERHEAD PROJECTORS.
THEY, UH, VIDEO TELECONFERENCING EQUIPMENT AND THE CITY TO HAVE A JOINT.
THE COUNTY'S GONNA ASSIST AND ANYTHING MAJOR HAPPENS AS WE HAVE AN EMERGENCY OPERATION ABUSE IN PLACE TO HELP EACH OTHER OUT, WE THINK THAT THIS ONE WOULD BE, IT'S ALREADY AGREED TO.
THIS WOULD BE, THIS WOULD BE, UH, MAN AND OPERATED BY THE COUNTY AND CITY AND COUNTY AND CITY JOINTLY, OR COUNTY IF NEEDED, OR THE CITY IF NEEDED, AND DO IT THAT WAY.
WHAT'S THE PURPOSE OF THIS BIG TRAILER THAT THE SHERIFF HAS DECKED UP? THE COMMUNICATIONS? YEAH.
THE ONE WE GOT THREE, FOUR YEARS AGO, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
THAT IS ACTUALLY A COMMUNICATIONS AND, UH, INCIDENT OPERATIONS VEHICLE.
IF THEY HAVE, IF THEIR COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND DISPATCH GOES DOWN, THEY CAN MOVE INTO IT AND USE THAT.
IF THEY NEED TO TAKE THAT OUT TO A SCENE FOR AN INCIDENT THAT IS LASTS FOR SEVERAL HOURS, THEY CAN USE THAT THERE AS A COMMAND VEHICLE THAT'S SEPARATE FROM THIS.
AND ELC IS FOR LIKE ELECTED OFFICIALS AND, AND THE COUNTY JUDGE OR MYSELF AS THE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT COORDINATOR, STATE OFFICIALS TO COME IN, LOCAL OFFICIALS, PUBLIC UTILITIES AND THINGS.
RED CROSS THAT THE PEOPLE THAT MAKE THE DECISIONS CAN WORK IN ONE, ONE PLACE INSTEAD OF CALLING THE PHONE OR BACK AND FORTH LIKE THAT.
Y'ALL REMEMBER WHEN WE WENT TO COMAR COUNTY, UH, WHEN WE WERE LOOKING AT THE JAILS, HOW THEY HAD THEIR NEW ONES SET UP? MM-HMM
[00:05:01]
UH, IT WAS REALLY GREAT BECAUSE IT WAS PART OF THE JAIL.THEY HAD A, THEY HAD A SPECIAL ROOM IN THE JAIL USED AS COMBINATION CLASSROOM AND EMERGENCY, UH, UH, MANAGEMENT.
UH, WE COULD, IT, IT'D BE DIFFICULT TO USE THE, THE TRAINING ROOM IN THE SHERIFF'S FACILITY RIGHT NOW BECAUSE IT'S A LITTLE BIT TOO SMALL AND IT'S NOT SET UP TO WHERE IT WOULD BE CONDUCIVE TO DOING THAT KIND OF BUSINESS.
IT IS CRAMPED AND IT WOULD BE NOISY AND A LITTLE BIT CROWDED.
SO THAT'S WHY YOU REALLY NEED ANOTHER FACILITY AND IT'S, IT'S KIND OF A WASTE OF MONEY TO BUILD JUST AN EOC AND LET US SIT THERE.
THIS WAY THEY CAN USE IT AS A TRAINING FACILITY AND EOC AND HAVE MEETINGS AND THE WHOLE BIT WE CAN JUST SORT OF PIGGYBACK ON.
THIS CLASSIFIES EVERYBODY IN THE COUNTY.
WE'VE ALREADY GOT THE EQUIPMENT.
UH, I'D LIKE FOR STEVE TO COME UP.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU, YOU ALL KNOW STEVE DO OR NOT, BUT, UH, STEVE'S, UH, HE'S BEEN COORDINATOR FOR THE RED CROSS HERE IN COFFEE COUNTY FOR HOW MANY YEARS, UH, FOR A LONG TIME.
AND, UH, ONE THING Y'ALL KNOW THAT, UH, EVERY TIME SOMETHING COMES UP THAT, UH, WE SAY, WELL, LET'S LET KATHY DO IT.
AND WE LOADED KATHY DOWN AND SO LIKE, YOU KNOW, THE BUR AND PILING STUFF ON BY THE BROKE THING STRONG, SHE'S ABOUT HAD THAT LAST STRAW.
SO WE'RE TRYING TO WORK ON THE WAY AND FIGURE OUT, UH, WHERE STEVE CAN TAKE OVER AS THE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT COORDINATOR AND TAKE SOME OF THAT BURDEN OFF OF THE KATHY.
UH, OF COURSE KATHY DOESN'T WANT TAKE A CUT IN PAY.
I'M STILL, I'M TRYING TO FIND OUT WHERE THAT RAISE CAME IN WHEN I GOT THAT
THAT'S WHY I CAN'T FIGURE OUT.
BUT, UH, SO JUST WANNA LET Y'ALL KNOW THAT HOPEFULLY, UH, UH, EVENTUALLY STEVE WILL BE OUR EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT COORDINATOR AND KATHY CAN CONCENTRATE ON JUST THE, UH, COUNTY OPERATIONS THAT SHE DOES DAY TO DAY.
UM, THIS THING WITH CAROL THEN SEEMS LIKE A GREAT OPPORTUNITY.
UH, WE'VE GOT THE EQUIPMENT AND THEY'VE GOT THE, THE, UH, LOCATION AND ALL THE OTHERS.
SO IT KIND, IT KIND OF PUTS A, A STEP ABOVE BECAUSE ONE OF THE THINGS IN ORDER TO GET SOME OF THE FEDERAL GRANTS IS YOU'VE GOT TO SHOW THAT YOU ARE A MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL TYPE PROJECT.
WE'VE ALREADY, WE'VE ALREADY GOT THIS IN PLACE WITH THE CITY AND EVERYBODY, EVERYBODY IN THE COUNTY CAN USE IT, BUT IT'LL TAKE CARE OF ALL THE OTHER LITTLE SMALLER CITIES IN THE COUNTY AND COUNTY.
SECOND MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER JACKSON, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER ROWING THAT WE ENTER INTO THE INTER LOCAL AGREEMENT, UH, FOR EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER LOCATED IN THE CITY OF TER.
ANY MORE DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.
NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA, DISCUSS, CONSIDER PRESSING TWO DUMP TRUCKS FOR PRECINCT NUMBER TWO.
JIM ALLOWED COPY THIS QUOTE I WOULD'VE HAD, THEY WERE GONNA BUY AT THAT TIME.
THESE TWO DUMP TRUCKS ARE AVAILABLE ON THE, UH, THROUGH THE HGAC, UH, CONTRACT
UH, TRUCKS ARE 79,004 FOUR A PIECE, A TOTAL OF ONE 58,848.
UH, RAY HAS HAS THOSE, BUT THAT HE IS UTILIZING THE TUR PROGRAM.
UH, ONE OF THESE TRUCKS, UH, I THINK RAY'S GONNA GET BACK ABOUT $60,000 TOWARDS THE PURCHASE.
AND I THINK THE OTHER TRUCK, HE'S GETTING 20 SOMETHING THOUSAND BACK TOWARD THE PURCHASE AS WELL.
SO ROUGHLY ABOUT $80,000 FROM THE PAY BACK TO THE COUNTY, UH, TOWARDS THESE TRUCKS AS A TRADE IN TO GET THOSE, UH, HIGH EMISSION TRUCKS OFF THE ROAD.
SO I WOULD MAKE RECOMMENDATION FOR
[00:10:01]
MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER ROUND SECOND BY COMMISSIONER ER.UH, NEXT HAVE TO DISCUSS, CONSIDER DISTRICT CLERK'S REQUEST TO PURCHASE LATERAL SHOVING TO BE INSTALLED IN AN OLD LIBRARY.
IN THE OLD LIBRARY IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN REQUIRED COUNTY RECORDS PURCHASE WILL BE FUNDED BY THE DISTRICT CLERK'S RECORD MANAGEMENT FUND.
UH, ANYBODY HERE TO SPEAK ON THAT? I WOULD, I WOULD JUST SAY, I THOUGHT, I THOUGHT SHE MIGHT BE HERE, BUT, UH, SHE CAME THROUGH MY OFFICE REQUESTING THIS AND, AND CHECKING ON THE FUNDS.
SO SHE HAS PLENTY OF FUNDS IN THAT.
IT'S SIMILAR TO, UH, THE COUNTY CLERK'S.
THE FUNDS CAN ONLY BE USED FOR OUR RECORDS PRESENTATION.
SHE'S NEVER USED A PENNY OF IT AND, AND WANTS TO USE ABOUT 16,000.
UH, IN MY DISCUSSIONS WITH THE DISTRICT CLERK, I SUGGESTED SHE GO WITH THE PURCHASING AGENT, BE SURE EVERYTHING'S OKAY WITH HIM.
AND I HAVEN'T HEARD WHAT STAND ON THAT.
AND WE'RE GETTING QUOTES ON THAT JUDGE.
UH, THEY'RE GOING OVER THERE ACROSS THE STREET AT THE OLD LIBRARY.
THAT THERE'S A, WE WE'RE IN THE OLD LIBRARIES OF THE ROOM.
THEY MOVED A LOT OF THE OLD FILES OUT TO THE SOUTH CAMPUS.
THEY, FOR THIS, WE FOUND OUR SPOT AT, AT THE OLD JAIL.
YOU DO QUITE A BIT OF FILES OUT THERE.
I THINK THEY MOVED ABOUT A HUNDRED FILES, CABINETS OUT THERE THAT SPOTTED THOSE JAIL WHERE THOSE RECORDS PUT EMERGENCY CENTER WAS SUPPOSED TO BE
WELL, DOES ANYBODY WANNA SUPPORT THE DISTRICT CLERK ON THAT? YEAH, WE'LL DO THAT.
MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER ER SECOND BY COMMISSIONER JACKSON.
UH, NEXT WE'LL DISCUSS, CONSIDER AIDING THE TER INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT PARKING LOT REPAIR AT MEMORIAL STADIUM IN KAUFMAN COUNTY PRECINCT NUMBER THREE.
JUDGE, THIS WAS, UH, UH, THE WEATHER AND I GUESS THE CARNIVAL THEY HAD DOWN THERE MESSED UP THE SCHOOL MEETING REPAIR AND WE HELP PATCH.
IT WAS A COMBINED, COMBINED EFFORT WITH THE CITY
SO, UH, I GUESS PROBABLY NEED DOLLAR FIGURES ON THIS.
WE HAVEN'T ENROLLED AGREEMENT ALREADY.
WE AGREEMENT WITH THE AGREEMENTS ALL YOU NEED.
SO WE JUST NEED A PROJECT AGREEMENT WITH THE YOU WANNA BRING TABLE, BRING IT BACK TO US? YES, SIR.
JOHN LAW HADN'T CHANGED ON THAT.
AS LONG AS WE HAVE A INTER LOCAL AGREEMENT AND ACTUAL FIGURES AND GET REIMBURSED DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR, IT'S OKAY.
UH, NEXT DISCUSS, CONSIDER PROVEN RESOLUTION OF THE COUNTY OF KAUFMAN, TEXAS ELECTING TO BECOME ELIGIBLE TO PARTICIPATE IN TAX ABATEMENT AND ADOPTING A TAX ABATEMENT GUIDELINES AND PROCEDURES.
THIS IS, UH, IF WE, UH, WE HAVEN'T USED THIS PROCESS IN COUPLE YEARS OR MORE BECAUSE THERE HASN'T BEEN ANY NEW BUSINESSES COMING IN.
BUT THIS KEEPS IT IN PLACE WHERE IF WE WANTED TO GRANT, UH, PARTICIPATE WITH THE, UM, CITIES AND SCHOOL, THE CITIES AND CHAMBER OF CONGRESS TO GRANT THE TAX ABATEMENT, WE HAVE TO DO THIS EVERY TWO YEARS TO KEEP IT IN EFFECT.
WHEN I WAS RESEARCHING THIS, UM, HAD WE DISCUSSED ON THE COURT BEFORE, UH, UH, INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION, LIKE AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, WE DISCUSSED IT, BUT IT DIDN'T GO ANYWHERE.
UH, 'CAUSE I, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A LOT OF, A LOT OF LAND AND STUFF THAT WE COULD HAVE AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OR AN INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION, UH, IS SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.
I JUST, I THINK WE'RE A POINT WHERE WE NEED TO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OR INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION THOUGHT WE TALKED ABOUT IT BEFORE.
HAVE YOU SEEN OTHER COUNTIES THAT HAVE ADOPTED THAT? YEAH,
[00:15:01]
THEY'RE MUCH LARGER THAN WE ARE I STARTING TO SAY LARGER.THEY'RE MUCH LARGER THAN WE ARE.
BUT IT'S THIS CHAPTER 3 81, A LOCAL GOVERNMENT COURT.
GIVES IT THE JUDGE ACTUALLY GIVES THE JUDGE AUTHORITY TO POINT AN INDUSTRIAL ION.
WELL, ALL THIS, UH, ALL THIS IS ASKING IS TO, UH, THAT WE BECOME ELIGIBLE.
IT'S NOT SAYING ELIGIBLE TO GRANT TAXES.
AND OF COURSE WE HAVE TO TAKE EACH INDIVIDUAL PROJECT ON SOMETHING.
AT LEAST WE'LL HAVE THAT MECHANISM IN PLACE.
IT'LL BE THERE IF YOU NEED IT.
MR. JACKSON SECONDS IT ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.
UH, NEXT ONE TO DISCUSS AND CONSIDER APPRO FILLING VACANT FELONY AND MISDEMEANOR ASSISTANT DA POSITION DUE TO THE RESIGNATIONS OF BRIAN CORRIGAN AND TRACY BOOKER.
UH, WE, UH, HAVE HAD TWO SPOTS OPEN IN FELONY.
UH, WE'VE DONE SOME INTERVIEWS.
WE'RE GONNA NEED TO FILL THOSE TWO SLOTS.
I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S GONNA BE PRO ONE OF 'EM IS PROMOTION WITHIN THE OFFICE.
I DON'T KNOW IF THE SECOND WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO GO OUTSIDE THE OFFICE.
THEY'RE ALL GONNA BE THE SAME SLOTS THAT WE'VE ALREADY GOT AVAILABLE.
WE BASICALLY BUMPED UP PEOPLE WITH MISDEMEANOR AND ADVANCED THEM BASED ON SENIORITY AND JOB PERFORMANCE.
SO, UH, WE'RE WE'RE ADDING, WE TARGETED, UH, DANIEL FLOYD OR AD A MISDEMEANOR PROSECUTOR.
HE'S BEEN AN INTERN OVER THERE WITH OUR OFFICER ABOUT FIVE YEARS AND JUST GOT OUTTA LAW SCHOOL AND, UH, BRING HIM IN AS A MISDEMEANOR PROSECUTOR.
WE STILL GOT ANOTHER FELONY SLOT TO FILL.
I DON'T KNOW IF WE'RE GONNA DO THAT INTERNALLY WITH AN INTERNAL PROMOTION OR IF WE'RE GONNA HIRE FROM THE OUTSIDE.
UH, WE HAD SOMEBODY TARGETED THAT WE WERE LOOKING AT, BUT SHE, UH, SHE WERE THE FEDS, BUT SHE, UH, THE GRANT GOT EXTENDED, SO SHE'S STAYING WHERE SHE IS.
SO, UH, WE'RE GONNA NEED, UH, I WANT THE COURT'S APPROVAL TO HAVE, UH, UH, ABILITY TO HIRE FOR BOTH OF THOSE POSITIONS, THE POSITIONS THAT WE NEED.
SO YOU'RE JUST REPLACING PEOPLE THAT HAVE LEFT, CORRECT? NO NEW POSITION? NO.
IS THAT WHAT THIS LINE ITEM TRANSFER? I HAVEN'T GOTTEN TO THAT YET.
I THOUGHT YOU WAS TAKING ALL THAT MONEY TO HELP.
WHAT'S MADE BY COMMISSIONER ROW.
SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER DELLER.
TRANSFER, UH, OFFICE SUPPLIES, UH, OIL AND GAS.
UH, WE'VE GOT OUR LEGAL AND INVESTIGATIVE, UH, LINE OPPOSITION IS FOR INVESTIGATION OF CASES.
UH, THAT'S OUR, OTHER THAN IN OIL AND GAS, THAT'S OUR HIGHEST, UH, SECTION IN OUR BUDGET.
AND, UH, WE'VE GONE THROUGH THAT.
UH, AND WE'VE BEEN PULLING FROM DIFFERENT ITEMS TO, UH, SUPPLEMENT THAT, UH, LINE ITEM NOW FOR A WHILE.
SO WE NEED TO TRANSFER SOME MORE MONEY IN THERE, UH, FROM OUR, UH, OFFICE SUPPLY SECTION.
WE CAN DO IT IN OUR OIL AND GAS SECTION.
UM, WE'VE BEEN LUCKY THAT WE HAVEN'T HAD ANY DNA CASES THAT WE'VE HADN'T PAID FOR THIS YEAR, BUT JUST FOR FUTURE REFERENCE FOR THE COURT, UH, WHEN WE, WHEN WE BRING YOUR BUDGET TO YOU, THAT WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO BUMP THAT UP AND WE'RE GONNA TRY TO
BUT THAT'S THE ONE THAT I MOST CONCERNED ABOUT.
OBVIOUSLY THAT'S THE ONE THAT WE'VE GOTTA HAVE THAT, BUT THAT LINE ITEM IN PLACE TO ADEQUATELY PREPARE FOR CASES THAT WE, UH, INDIC OR CHOOSE TO TAKE IN MISDEMEANOR.
SO THOSE ARE, THAT'S A PRIORITY LINE ITEM IN OUR BUDGET.
OBVIOUSLY, THERE'S NO WAY THAT YOU, YOU WOULD KNOW IF THIS WOULD TAKE YOU THROUGH THE REST OF THIS PHYSICAL YEAR.
I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW FOR SURE.
I I, I'M GUESSING IT WON'T, MY, MY EDUCATED GUESS IS NO, IT WON'T.
I, I'M HOPING IT CAN LAST US THROUGH, UH, JULY, ABOUT THE MIDDLE OF JULY, AND THEN WE'LL HAVE TO SEE FROM THERE.
BUT WE CAN JUST KEEP, I, I THINK WE'VE GOT A, A BUDGET.
YOU KNOW, AS THE COURT WILL RECALL, THIS WAS THE ONLY DEPARTMENT THAT DID A 10% ACROSS THE BOARD, CUT AND GOT RID OF TWO EMPLOYEES LAST TIME AROUND LAST YEAR.
ONE OF THE ONLY DEPARTMENT THAT DID THAT.
SO, UH, WE'RE, WE'RE TRYING TO BE VERY PHYSICALLY RESPONSIBLE.
UM, I WAS JUST, THE CERTAIN COST SEEMED LIKE YOU USED JUST THIS LINE OUT.
THIS, THIS ONE, THIS ONE IS THE ONE THAT WE'RE USING A BUNCH.
SO YOU STILL HAD TO TRANSFER SOME MORE MONEY PROPERLY? THAT'S MY GUESS.
JUDGE, I, I JUST LIKE TO, WE WERE, WE WERE ABOUT TO PROPOSE BASICALLY
[00:20:01]
THE SAME GUIDELINE TRANSFER TO THE DA AND UH, UH, SO WE'RE CERTAINLY IN FAVOR OF IT.AND, AND CERTAINLY THERE MAY HAVE TO BE SOME OTHER ADJUSTMENTS MADE AS THE YEAR GOES ON.
SO I'D LIKE TO COMMEND THE DA JUST FOR PUTTING THIS ON THE AGENDA.
UH, I WOULD LOVE TO SEE OTHER DEPARTMENTS PLEAD LIE AND TRANSFERS LIKE THIS.
THAT'S, THAT'S THE WAY IT'LL BE DONE.
HAVING SAID THAT, WE'RE CERTAINLY, UH, HAPPY WITH WHAT'S BEING PROPOSED.
COMMISSIONER ROUND MAKES A MOTION.
HUNTER HAS A GAME AT EIGHT 15 TONIGHT.
CONSIDER PROVING BID FOR RESALE OF TAX PROPERTY, UH, DESCRIBED AS PART BLOCK TWO AND THREE BLOCK 39.
YOU GOT A GOOD PRICE ON THAT, I HOPE.
YOU GOT A PRICE? I GOT EIGHT PRICE
SO MR. RIVER SAY, WHICH COULD HAVE DONE YOU MAKE THAT MOTION.
UM, YOU, ANDREW CALLED ME A COUPLE WEEKS AGO ABOUT THAT WHOLE STACK.
THAT'S JUST, YEAH, I PUT'EM AWAY.
HE SAID THEY WERE DENIED BY, BY, BY, BY MY BANK.
DO I NEED TO DO ANYTHING ON THOSE? I HAVE THEM.
BUT HE, BECAUSE I HAD, HE GOT 12 OF THEM.
I WAS WORKING ON SOME NEGOTIATIONS, MORE BIDS.
UH, AND WHEN, WHEN THEY, I TOLD 'EM, I SAID, FIRST THING YOU GOTTA DO IS GO TO MAYM, SEE WHAT MAYBANK WILL DO.
YOU KNOW, AND THEY SAID, NO, WE'RE NOT TAKING MORE BIDS.
AND THEN ENGINE ALL BIDS YOU DIDN'T GO PUT A LOT OF INTO.
SO IT WAS THE ISD AND NOT THE CITY, RIGHT? THAT'S WHAT I THINK CINDY SAID.
OKAY, HAL, THAT BRINGS AROUND TO ANY OTHER LINE.
WE MAY HAVE PROPOSED NINE ITEM TRANSFERS IN DIS IN THE, UH, 86 DISTRICT JUDGE DISTRICT COURT TO INCREASE DUES, $105 MEALS AND LOGIC.
ADDITIONAL LAW ENFORCEMENT PROPOSED MOVING $5,000 IN TRANSPORTING PRISONERS TO PSYCHIATRIC EXAMS. THE ELECTION INCREASED MILEAGE MILLS AND LODGING, 300,000 SUPPLIES, 1000 FOR POLLING PLACE RENT, SHERIFF'S OFFICE INCREASED NEWS, $200 IN PRODUCTION OF INVESTIGATIVE SUPPORT IN THE, UH, IN DEFENSE AREA.
WE PROPOSED MOVING 10,000 MATERNITY FEES TO INVESTIGATIVE EXPENSES.
AND THEN THE DISTRICT CLERK'S RECORDS MANAGEMENT FUND, UH, SHE HAD 8,000 IN OFFICE FURNISHING EQUIPMENT.
WE PROPOSED MOVING AN ADDITIONAL 8,000 FOR THIS PURPOSE.
WE JUST TALKED ABOUT CONVERTING INDEX FEES.
ADDITIONALLY, IN PUBLIC WORKS WE CERTIFYING ADDITIONAL REVENUES.
AND A GENERAL ITEMS, UH, AS Y'ALL KNOW, WE'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR 8% OF OUR GENERAL TAX INCOME, UH, TAX RATE TAX ASSESSMENT FOR INDIGENT HEALTHCARE.
AND WE NEED TO MOVE AN ADDITIONAL $50,000 INTO COST EXCEED ABOUT BUDGET THAT THE END OF THE YEAR.
AND IN AIR CONDITIONING HEATING, WE NEED AN ADDITIONAL $10,000 AS THE SUMMER GETS HERE.
EXHAUST AND HAS A BUDGET REDUCTION.
20 BECAUSE KEEP TRACK OF EVERYBODY.
Y'ALL HEARD IN THE LINE TRANSFER REQUEST ANYTHING? THE MOTION.
SO, MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER DOLLAR SECOND BY COMMISSIONER JACKSON.

BUT, BUT WHAT, WHAT ABOUT, AND THIS IS NOT, YOU KNOW, OVER, YOU KNOW, ON THE BASIS OF THE AMOUNT OR WHAT'S IN, WHAT'S IT, YOU KNOW, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? I MEAN, DO WE HAVE TO TELL YOU WHAT WE ARE GOING TO COME IN WITH GRAPPLE, YOU KNOW, AND THEN, UM, IT'S GONNA BE CHIP SEALED AND IF THEY COME BACK AND SAY ROAD LIKE THIS OR YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? HOW LONG, YOU KNOW THE, SO HE'S GONNA HAVE TO TELL US EARLY, EARLY ON, LIKE RIGHT IN HERE.
HE NEEDS TO TELL US THE, THE IMPROVE THE PROPOSED.
I MEAN YOU CAN'T JUST SAY, OKAY.
DO YOU THINK IT NEEDS TO BE, UM, LIKE WE'RE A ROAD 30 FOOT WIDE? YOU KNOW, IF YOU LOOK AT THE VOTING CENTER REGISTRANTS, PRECINCT TWO IS THE LEADER PRECINCT.
AND I COULD EXPECT YOU HAVE TO IS GONNA BE CONCRETE.
[00:35:05]
THE ONLY CITY THAT'S CONSTRUCTION, IF THEY'RE GONNA COME BACK, IF THEY CAN APPEAL THIS ASSESSMENT SITUATION BASED ON THE ROAD IMPROVEMENT.I MEAN IT'S LIKE I JUST WALK IN AND SAY, WELL I THOUGHT OR YOU KNOW THE SHERIFF'S.

SO LIEN AGAINST MY PROPERTY PAY AS LONG AS I DON'T, I, SO IT'S LIKE, WHAT IF EVERYBODY DID THAT? BUT WHAT DOES IT MEAN THAT YOU'RE PERSONALLY LIABLE? BUT THEN IT'S IT'S IT'S FILED AGAINST THE PROPERTY THEY CONTRADICT.
UM, THIS IS HEAR ABOUT OUR CONSTABLE GETTING HER CAR BROKE INTO FRIDAY.
TOOK THE GLASS OUT, TOOK A COUPLE OF FIREARMS TO GET THE MONEY FIRST.
SO WE WOULD NEVER GET OUR PROPERTY IN THAT CASE.
[00:40:03]
I DON'T THINK I YEAH.BUT IT DOESN'T GIVE US THE SAYS WE HAVE TO PUT IT UP FOR A RIGHT.
AND IT NEVER SAYS THEY'RE GONNA PAY ME FOR THIS WORK AND RIGHT.
YEAH, THERE'S NO, THERE'S NO INTEREST.
JUDGE, THERE ARE ALL THINGS IN HERE THAT IT'S GOT 20.
IF I MOVE, I'M JUST GONNA BUY THE HOUSE MATTER WHO KEEPS UP WITH THAT? WHETHER OR NOT THEY USED TO.

IT IS MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER ER TO PAY THE BILLS.
SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER JACKSON.
A MOTION CARRIES, UH, NO MEETING NEXT MONDAY, BUT Y'ALL WILL BE BACK HERE A WEEK FOR MONDAY.
UH, ON OUR BUDGET, UH, PLANS ARE THIS, UH, YOU SAW FROM THE LETTER, I'M NOT BRINGING THE ELECTED OFFICIALS IN 'CAUSE I KNEW WE WOULD NOT BE INCREASING BUDGETS THIS YEAR.
UH, I ASKED THEM ALL TO WORK ON THEIR OWN AND DO THE 10% CUT AGAIN.
UH, I KNOW SOME DEPARTMENTS I KNOW THE SHERIFF HAS ALREADY TOLD ME HE'S GOT TO HAVE SOME NEW CARS.
SO THERE'LL BE SOME DEPARTMENTS.
WE MAY NOT GET THAT 10% THIS TIME, BUT UH, WE WANT TO STILL TRY AND DO IT WITHOUT INCREASING THE TAX RATE IF WE CAN.
UH, AND I FIGURED THE WAY I'VE GOT, FIGURED WE NORMALLY USE THAT LAST WEEK IN JULY.
UH, WE GET OUR FINAL FIGURES ON THE 24TH OF JULY I BELIEVE.
BUT UH, THIS YEAR I'D LIKE TO, UH, SET ASIDE THAT FIRST WEEK IN AUGUST.
SO SET ASIDE THAT FIRST WEEK IN AUGUST AND WE'LL HAVE OUR, OUR HEARINGS, WE'LL WE WILL INTERVIEW THE ELECTED OFFICIALS DEPARTMENT HEADS.
AND WE, BY THE END OF THAT WEEK, BY THURSDAY OR FRIDAY, WE'LL HAVE A BUDGET COMPLETED IF WE HAVE TO STAY LATE A COUPLE
[01:05:01]
DAYS.NOW, YOU KNOW, THERE WAS A TIME YOU CAN PASS THIS TO MARYLAND.
THERE WAS A TIME WHEN COMMISSIONER'S WIFE, PRECINCT ONE USED TO HAVE US A BIG BOWL OF SOUP, YOU KNOW, WHERE WE COULD STAY LATE, YOU KNOW, LIKE CHILE MAYBE.
LIKE CHILE OR ROASTED BEEF OR YOU KNOW, SOMETHING.
WE JUST SEND IN THE BILLS TO AL.
YEAH, SEND, SEND THEM ALL OUT.
UH, ANYTHING NEEDS TO BRING UP BEFORE, ANYWAY, I TELL YOU THIS AHEAD OF TIME WHERE IF YOU WANT TO TAKE SOME TIME OFF, YOU KNOW, TAKE IT BETWEEN NOW AND THE FIRST WEEK IN UH, AUGUST.
AND UH, BECAUSE THE FIRST WEEK IN AUGUST WE'LL BE HERE WORKING ON THAT BUDGET.
THE FIRST WEEK IN AUGUST IS WHEN THE ELECTED OFFICIALS AND DEPARTMENT HEADS WILL BE HERE.
SOMETIME THAT, THAT WEEK SOMETIME.
AND THEN TRY TO GET, TRY TO GET THEM IN HERE ON TUESDAYS AND OR MONDAY AFTERNOON AND TUESDAYS AND, AND WE NO, MONDAY AFTERNOON, ALL DAY TUESDAY AND PROBABLY HALF DAY WEDNESDAY WHERE WE CAN START WORKING ON OUR OWN THEN WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.
'CAUSE THE CONSTABLES HAVE TWO, UH, ACTIVITIES THAT THEY GOTTA GO THROUGH.
TWO TRAINING SESSIONS AND THEY'LL WANTING TO KNOW WHEN THEY CAN.
AND I DIDN'T REALIZE IT WAS GONNA BE IN AUGUST, BUT NOW I TELL THEY TAKE JULY, JUNE, JULY.
AND THEN IF, UH, IF YOU STILL WANT
UH, THEN, UH, WE'LL DEFINITELY GET, GET IT DONE ONE WAY OR ANOTHER THAT FIRST WEEK IN AUGUST BECAUSE, UH, THAT WAY YOU CAN HAVE THE, YOU KNOW, SECOND, THIRD OR FOURTH WEEK IN AUGUST IF YOU STILL WANT GO SOME I'LL BE READY
IT'LL BE TIME TO TAKE A FEW DAYS OFF.
IT'S, IT IS GOING BE DIFFICULT AND IT'S GOING, WHAT'S GOING BE REALLY DIFFICULT IS IF, IF YOU GET YOUR MINDSET THAT YOU'RE NOT GOING TO INCREASE THE TAX RATE AT ALL, THAT MEANS YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO DO SOME CUTS, MORE CUTS SOMEWHERE.
IT MIGHT, IT'D HAVE TO BE SOME EMPLOYEE THOUGH.
UH, ALL I GOT FIGURED OUT IN MIND WHERE I CAN, I CAN KNOCK OFF ABOUT $6,000 QUICKLY.
HOW MUCH FIGURED OUT BECAUSE OF, OF BRUCE COMING IN AND PROBATE GOING OH YEAH.
HOW MUCH, MA'AM, HOW MUCH DOES A PENNY ON THE TAX RATE, HOW MUCH REVENUE DOES THAT BRING IN? A LITTLE OVER A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS.
ISN'T THAT RIGHT HAL? AND THEN A LITTLE OVER 505.
AND THEN HOW MUCH WOULD, HOW MUCH DOES A PENNY INCREASE COST? THE AVERAGE TAX PAY? VERY LITTLE.
SEE, SO, BUT IT'S THE INCREASE IN TAXES, YOU KNOW.
I DON'T CARE IF IT'S A HALF A CENT.
BUT ANYWAY, JUST, JUST BEAR THAT IN MIND.
KIND OF KEEP THAT IN YOUR MINDSET THAT THERE'S A POSSIBILITY IF WE'RE GONNA PROVIDE SOME SERVICES AND CONTINUE THE SERVICES AT SAME LEVEL, WE, WE WON'T HAVE A CHOICE BUT TO INCREASE IT A LITTLE BIT.
THAT'S BETTER THAN LAYING SOMEBODY OFF.
THEY'D RATHER DO WITHOUT RAISING THAN THE JOB.
BUT ANYWAY, NO MEETING NEXT WEEK.
KIND OF GOT YOU SUMMER SCHEDULING TO SET OUT THERE.
AND NOW WILL EXPECT, UH, WHILE YOU'RE GONE, WE'LL EXPECT A PICTURE OR SOMETHING OF YOUR ACTIVITIES.
I'LL, I, I'LL TRY TO GET 'EM TO TAKE MY PICTURE IN FRONT OF THE CASTLE.
I LOVE, 'CAUSE ONE OF THE THINGS WHEN THE KIDS WERE LITTLE AND WE WENT DOWN, TOOK THEM DOWN THERE A COUPLE OF TIMES, ACTUALLY THREE TIMES.
UH, ONE OF THE THINGS I LIKE TO DO AS SOON AS THE GATES OPEN AND YOU GET, GET IN THERE IS HEAD FOR THE CASTLES AND MAKE YOUR SUPPER RESERVATIONS.
WE KEPT OUR RESERVATIONS DEEP THERE AND IT IS A GREAT PLACE TO EAT.
AND, UH, IT'S LIKE A, A BIG, UH, OH, THAT ERA OF, UH, NIGHT HOODS AND MM-HMM
YOU KNOW, THE TABLE SETTINGS AND EVERYTHING AND IT'S JUST A GOOD PLACE TO EAT.
BUT YOU HAVE TO GET THERE FIRST TO MAKE YOUR RESERVATIONS OR YOU DON'T IN OH, YOU MEETING.
WELL, LET'S HOPE I GET TO GO THERE AND NOT HAVE TO STAY HERE TO GO TO TYLER.
COMMISSIONER DELL MAKES A MOTION TO ADJOURN.
