MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER CLARK BY COMMISSIONER.
HAVE A, UH, ON ROUTINE CORRESPONDENCE.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR DONATION TO THE TRICOUNTY LIBRARY.
EVEN THOUGH YOU HAD TO MAKE CUTS IN THE BUDGET, WE ARE PLEASED THAT YOU STILL CONSIDER THE LIBRARY WORTHY TO SERVE DONATIONS, TRUST, AND DO JUST THAT.
SINCERELY, CLAIRE STOUT, LIBRARY DIRECTOR, UH, HAVE ANOTHER LITTLE ROUTINE MATTER.
OKAY, JACK, YOU READY TO ROLL? YES, SIR.
ALRIGHT, WE'RE GONNA DISCUSS AND CONSIDER CONTRACTING WITH A ECHO WEIR FOR GRANT WRITING SERVICES.
FORMAN COUNTY COURT AT LAW GWI DIVERSION COURT.
UH, JUDGE, JUDGE WILEY ME, COUPLE WEEKS AGO WANTED TO HIRE GRANT AVAILABLE SITUATION.
MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT BUDGET, LOT OF TIMES IT COME OUTTA GRANT.
[00:05:01]
BE ABLE TO, SHE HAS HER MONEY NOW CURRENTLY AND IN HER BUDGET PROGRAM.IT'S NOT IMPACTED THE COUNTY BUDGET.
WELL, IT'S NOT GONNA IMPACT THE COUNTY BUDGET.
DOESN'T THIS SAY THAT? SHE'S GONNA CHARGE, UH, 2,400 IF THE PERSON DON'T MAKE IT.
IF THAT DON'T MAKE IT, SHE'LL DO IT AGAIN FOR THOUSAND.
RIGHT? SHE, SHE HAS SHE COLLECT THAT WORK.
IT IS, UH, THINGS MADE WITH THIS THAT SHE CAN GET MORE MONEY FOR THE OPERATION.
I THINK THE PROGRAM WORKED WELL.
NOW I ENTERTAIN MOTION, MOTION BY COMMISSIONER SECOND BY COMMISSIONER JACKSON TO, UH, PROCEED WITH THAT.
ANY MORE DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.
DISCUSS, UH, POLICY AND PROCEDURES FOR MOWING VARIOUS COUNTY PROPERTIES.
YOU MAY REMEMBER THAT BUDGET SHERIFF OFFERED HELP WITH THE MOWING THE COUNTY FOR VARIOUS, UH, GROUNDS.
I FOR DIRECTION AS TO PROCEED.
HAVE A CONTRACT THAT, UH, I THINK OUR ANGLE COST ABOUT 35,000 AND I BELIEVE THAT WE CUT IN HALF THIS YEAR.
AND, UH, WANNA GET THE DIRECTION ON, ON WHAT AREAS THAT WE MAY OUR VENDOR TO COURTHOUSE, THINGS OF THAT NATURE.
I'M NOT SURE IF THE SHERIFF'S FOLKS CAN HANDLE ALL THIS AT ONE TIME.
THIS I WHAT WE, THE MOW WE CAN PUT WELL, MANUAL.
WE GOT IT OUTSIDE CREW EQUIPMENT.
DIDN'T, UH, WHEN THIS WAS DISCUSSED BACK IN THE SUMMER, I THINK YOU SAID IF YOU INCREASE THE AREA GOING HAVE, MAY HAVE TO HAVE SOME OTHER EQUIPMENT TO DO THAT.
WE'VE ENOUGH EQUIPMENT IT, OKAY.
IT MAY BE AT THE COURTHOUSE THAT, UH, CONTRACT WE HAVE A RENEWAL OPTION.
PLANS ARE, WE WANNA RETAIN HIS SURFACE FOR CERTAIN AREAS.
WHAT, WHAT, UH, IS THIS BEEN? UH, I KNOW HE'S SUPPOSED TO, UH, BUILD THE TRIM WEED, YOU KNOW, WEED CONTROL THING, BUT THAT'S HERE AT THE COURTHOUSE.
I THINK SUB SUB COURTHOUSE BEEN THE LIBRARY, PLACES LIKE THAT.
AND THEN A THEY MORE ON THAT THERE ROUND NATURE.
I'M NOT SURE WHAT WE GET A LIST TOGETHER.
YEAH, I THINK THAT'D BE JUNE ANYWAY.
SO Y'ALL GOT FEW MONTHS TO THINK BACK.
JERRY, SHERIFF JERRY HAS SOME CONCERNS ABOUT, YOU KNOW, I THINK IT'S GOOD SHERIFF MAINTENANCE PEOPLE, UH, TAKING CARE OF THIS.
UH, WOULD IT BE INMATES OR WOULD IT BE JUST YOUR MAINTENANCE SPEAKER? MO THE INMATES ARE DOING THE WORK WE HAVE, UH, AS FAR AS THE SUPERVIS WOULD BE INTENTIONAL.
FAR AS THE MO YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I WAS, THAT'S WHAT I WAS LOOKING AT.
YOU HAVE TO HAVE SUPERVISION FOR.
WE'VE GOT, WE'VE GOT AN OUTSIDE WORK CREW NOW THAT, THAT DO THE MOS AND ALSO WE OPERATIONS, WE GET A LIST.
I THINK THAT'S WHY I A LIST HAVE A WORKSHOP.
[00:10:01]
JURY HAS, UH, I KNOW IN THE PAST HE'S TAKEN SOME AND DONE SOME OF THIS PROJECT, PARTICULARLY THE VETERANS.UH, NEXT, UH, WE WANNA DISCUSS AND CONSIDER PROPOSED COMMISSIONER COURT ORDER FOR ENFORCEMENT OF TRAFFIC LAWS IN WINTER CIRCLE SUBDIVISION BY COLLIN COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT, UH, DESIGNATED EXHIBIT A.
I'VE GOT JOHN THAT YOU REQUESTED THAT TO BE ON THE AGENDA.
UH, ACTUALLY THIS IS A CONCERN THAT IS, I THINK IN, UH, COMMISSIONER CLARK'S, UH, AREA.
IT IS, UH, BROUGHT BEFORE YOU AS A SEPARATE COMMISSIONER'S COURT ORDER BECAUSE THIS IS GOING TO PASS AND THE NEEDS TO PASS AND HAVE SOME SPECIFICITY OF WHAT STREETS ARE COVERED IN WHAT AREA.
AND SO WE HAVE A, A PRETTY SPECIFIC COMMISSIONER'S COURT ORDER WITH AN ATTACHMENT THAT SHOWS THE ACTUAL STRINGS IN THE AREA THAT'S AT ISSUE.
UM, THE SHERIFF IS IN FAVOR OF THIS, AND I THINK COMMISSIONER'S IN FAVOR OF THIS, BUT, UH, SINCE THE TIME THAT THIS WAS PROPOSED, THERE WAS AN ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OPINION THAT WAS ISSUED ABOUT A MONTH AGO, AND COMMISSIONER IN PART RAISED THAT ISSUE WITH ME.
DOES THIS AFFECT THIS COMMISSIONER'S COURT ORDER? AND IS MY THOUGHT THAT IT'S NOT, BUT I'VE ASKED THE ATTORNEY, JULIE PONT, WHO'S HERE, UH, REPRESENTS THE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION, UH, TO COMMENT ON HIM AND MR.
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OPINION RELATES TO A PRIVATE ROAD SUBDIVISION RELATES TO A PRIVATE OR OR PUBLIC ROAD SUBDIVISION IN DENTON COUNTY.
AND THE SUBDIVISION WAS LOOKING TO SEVERAL DIFFERENT STATUTES IN ORDER TO HAVE TRAFFIC LAW ENFORCEMENT BY THE COUNTY THERE.
AND THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OPINION IN RELATION TO, LET'S SAY IT'S, UH, SECTION 5 4 2 0.007 OF THE TEXAS TRANSPORTATION CODE, WHICH IS WELL MIRROR LYING ON SAID, BECAUSE YOU ARE A PUBLIC ROAD SUBDIVISION.
THIS SECTION'S IN APPLICABLE BECAUSE IT APPLIES ONLY TO A SUBDIVISION, WHICH IS PRIVATELY MAINTAINED ROADS.
UM, WINTER CIRCLE, I THINK IS EXACTLY WHAT THIS SECTION IS INTENDED TO APPLY TO.
IT, YOU KNOW, AS I SAID, IT'S SUPPOSED TO APPLY TO ROADS OR SUBDIVISION THAT PRIVATELY MAINTAINS THE ROADS.
THE PLOT ITSELF FOR VARIOUS PHASES IS TITLED THAT IT'S A PRIVATE ROAD SUBDIVISION.
THERE IS A DEDICATION BY THE OWNER STATE OF THE PROPERTY AND THE DECLARANCE STATING THAT THIS PROPERTY IS INTENDED TO BE A PRIVATE ROAD SUBDIVISION.
THERE'S ACTUALLY A NOTARIZED STATEMENT FROM JUDGE GENT STATING THAT, UH, THE COMMISSIONER'S COURT IS ACCEPTING THE PLAT ON THE BASIS THAT IT IS A PRIVATE ROAD SUBDIVISION FLAT AND KAUFMAN COUNTY SHALL NEVER BE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTENANCE.
UM, AND THERE'S ALSO A NOTATION ON THERE THAT COFFMAN COUNTY IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE PRIVATE SCREENS.
SO I, I THINK IF WE'RE LOOKING FOR A SUBDIVISION PRIVATE, THE ROADS ARE PRIVATELY MAINTAINED.
THIS IS, FITS EVERYTHING THAT THAT SECTION IS LOOKING FOR.
SO I, I THINK THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OPINION IS REALLY FOR A SEPARATE MATTER WHERE YOU HAVE PUBLIC ROAD DETAINED BY THE COUNTY.
ANY QUESTIONS? QUESTION? I AGREE.
HER, UH, TO ADDRESS THAT ISSUE OFFICER AND CARRY A BILL THIS NEXT TO ALLOW US TO DO TRAFFIC CONTROL IN, IT'S NOT JUST A CONFERENCE COUNTY ISSUE, IT'S A COPY STATE ISSUE.
SO NO ACTION ON THAT EITHER COURT ORDER.
I, I, UH, I REQUEST THAT YOU HEARD THAT AND THAT YOU SIGN THE COURT ORDER THAT'S ATTACHED.
JUDGE, THERE'S A SEPARATE COURT ORDER, SECOND MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER CLARK, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER JACKSON.
ANY MORE DISCUSSION? WHERE DOES IT, WHERE DOES THE, UH, WHERE DID THE FINES GO? IF YOU WRITE A TICKET, WHO, WHERE DO THESE FINES COURT,
[00:15:09]
I THINK WE NEED LOCAL AGREEMENT.IF WE'RE GOING ENFORCE THAT OUT THERE, THOSE FINES COULD GO BEFORE COMING TO THE
IS THAT CORRECT, JOHN? I I, I WOULD AGREE WITH THAT.
BECAUSE IF IT'S STILL IT'S INCORPORATED AREA OF THE CITY, CORRECT? IS THAT WHAT THAT'S CORRECT.
WE NEED TO CLARIFY WHERE IT GOES.
SHERIFF'S, THIS DOES NOT, SOME OF THESE STREETS ARE INSIDE, SOME OF THE STREETS ARE NOT INSIDE CITY LIMITS.
AND THEY WOULD GO TO THE J SEE THAT, THAT THE SUBDIVISION IS LIKE THIS.
I THINK WHAT THE ISSUE WAS, YOU DON'T WANT ENFORCE TRAFFIC LAWS HERE AND NOT BE ENFORCE FROM HERE.
YOU SAID WE CAN'T YEAH, THAT WASN'T ADDRESSED IN IN THIS.
BUT THE SECOND ISSUE OF IF THEY DO IT AND WHAT DOES HE HAVE? OKAY.
AND MY CONCERN IS FOR THE DEPUTY, HOW DOES HE KNOW WHAT, WHERE HE, 'CAUSE THERE'S A COURT ORDER COMMISSIONER'S COURT ORDERS FROM YEARS AGO SAYING THAT PRIVATE RULES ARE A DIFFERENT COLOR SIGN ROAD.
THE ONES THAT WE MAINTAIN ARE DIFFERENT COLOR.
SO THEY'RE GONNA HAVE DIFFERENT COLOR SIGNS ON THE STREETS THAT ARE IN THE UNINCORPORATED VERSUS THE COLOR OF THE SIGNS THAT ARE IN THE INCORPORATED.
NO, I THINK JURISDICTIONAL QUESTION THAT NEED TO BE ANSWERED.
I THINK IT'S A VENUE QUESTION MORE THAN JURISDICTION.
WELL, THE STREETS ARE IDENTIFIED IN THE COURT ORDER ITSELF.
WE JUST, WE JUST ACCEPTED SOME ROADS OF WIND CHASE, UH, FOR COUNTY MAIN THAT WERE NOT PRIVATE ANYMORE.
THEY'RE NOT COUNTING WIND CHASE.
AND WE HAD TO CHANGE ALL THE RED SIGNS TO GREEN SO THAT THE GUYS OVER THERE PATCHING THOSE ROADS WOULD KNOW THAT YES, THIS IS A COUNTY MAINE THING ROAD AND THE RED ONES ARE NOT.
AND THIS, IT'S A NEW POINT, BUT IT'S, IT'S AN ISSUE.
WHAT COLOR ARE THE SIGNS IN ONE CIRCLE? RED COLOR.
AND THEN IN YOUR SAKE, THE GREEN ONES IS PUBLIC AND THE RED ONES FRONT.
COMMISSIONER'S COURT 10 YEARS AGO MADE THAT A POINT.
ALL ROAD SIGNS HAVE TO BE THE SAME AND THE COLORS DICTATE WHETHER GREEN IS COUNTY AND RED IS COMMISSIONER COURT ORDER.
LIST ALL THE NAMES ON THE STREETS SPECIFICALLY.
THERE'S ALSO, SO THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT AREA.
THE QUESTION REALLY IS JUST WHERE THE GONNA GO? COUNTY.
UH, THE ONLY ONLY REASON I SAY THIS IS BECAUSE THE DEPUTY GOTTA KNOW WHERE TO TAKE.
THAT'S THE ONLY ISSUE BECAUSE HE DOESN'T THE RIGHT.
UH, LET'S GO AHEAD AND PASS THIS AND THEN I'M GONNA GET WITH JOHN AND, UH, UH, SEE IF WE NEED TO CLARIFY ANYTHING BEFORE I ACTUALLY SIGN IT.
THAT'S WHAT I'M, THIS MAY COME BACK AS AN ISSUE IN A COUPLE WEEKS, BUT AS FAR AS THE APPROVAL OF THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT BEING ABLE TO THAT DISCUSSION ALL IN SAY, AYE.
[00:20:01]
ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS SHERIFF DAVID BURNS.WE'RE GONNA DISCUSS, CONSIDER AUTHORIZING THE SHERIFF RESTITUTION IN THE AMOUNT OF NINE 50 TO CARL J CALWELL.
UH, FROM, THIS IS A KIND OF A INVOLVED DEAL.
WE HAD, UH, ABOUT THREE MONTHS AGO, WE HAD TWO INCIDENTS UP AT DALLAS LAKEWAY.
ONE WAS A DOMESTIC DISTURBANCE, ONE WAS A PERSON WITH A GUN.
UH, SAME DEPUTY MADE THEM CALL, UH, IN THE ENSUING PROCESS, MR. CALDWELL, WHO WAS ACTUALLY NOT INVOLVED IN THE GUN INCIDENT, BUT A DOMESTIC DISTURBANCE, UM, PART OF IT, UH, HIS NAME SOMEHOW GOT IN WITH THE OTHER.
AND WE IN FACT HAD A WARRANT ISSUED AND HE GOT ARRESTED IN PLANO, WHICH WAS ANOTHER REAL PROBLEM BECAUSE HE HIT THE SCENE UP THERE AND HE ACTED IN JAIL AT COL COUNTY FIVE DAYS BEFORE WE SAW A MAGISTRATE.
UH, IT WAS STRICTLY OUR, UH, MISTAKE.
UH, WE'VE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH HIM SEVERAL TIMES AND HE, UH, AGREES TO INDEMNIFY WE WOULD MAKE HIM HOME.
THE MONEY I COURT, WE, WE CAN'T.
MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER ER, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER JACKSON.
UH, WORK WITH, UH, JOHN RELEASE.
DISCUSS THE CENTER HIRING THREE DETENTION OFFICERS, ONE LBN TO FILL EXISTING VACANCIES OF THE JAIL.
UNDERSTAND THAT, UH, THAT LD INSURED MAY HAVE CAUSED SOME PROBLEMS OUT THERE.
IT'S MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER CLARK, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER FOWLER.
SHERIFF, UH, DO YOU KNOW, I'M SAYING THAT QUESTION IF, IF HIRING, PLEASE, YES.
WHAT WOULD THAT, IF WE, IF THAT WAS IN PLACE OF TODAY, HOW WOULD THAT AFFECT IT? IT WOULD NOT AFFECT US IN CLERICAL.
WE COULD HANDLE THAT, BUT LOT TENTION OFFICERS AND OUR ENFORCEABLE PEOPLE, NEARLY ALL THOSE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO HAVE CONSIDERABLE COMPENSATORY TIME ON THE BOOKS BEING, UH, STRAIGHT COMPENSATORY TIME, HOLIDAY TIME, AND, AND OUR VACATION.
MOST OF THOSE WE'LL PROBABLY HAVE, AND WE OPERATE UNDER TWO SYSTEMS OUT THERE.
WE GET PAID ON A TWO WEEK PAY PERIOD, WHICH DOES NOT AFFECT US AS FAR AS WE WORK.
WE OPERATE UNDER THE FEDERAL FSLA GUIDELINES.
WE HAVE TO ACCOUNT FOR 160 HOURS AND 28 DAY, WE HAVE A 28 DAY WORK PERIOD.
IN THAT TIME, THEY HAVE TO, THEY WORK OVER 160 HOURS UP TO, YOU KNOW, 1 71 11 HOURS OF TREAT.
SO THEY WILL PROBABLY HAVE AN AVERAGE, I THINK THEY AVERAGE THREE 20 HOURS, WHICH IS TWO MONTHS.
SO IT'S GONNA TAKE US TWO MONTHS TO HIRE TO PAY THESE PEOPLE OFF.
WE WOULD HOLD THAT VACANCY ONCE IT BECOMES AVAILABLE FOR TWO MONTHS JUST TO PAY THEM OFF.
SO WE LOSE THE USE OF THAT, THAT SLOT FOR THOSE TWO MONTHS.
THEN OBVIOUSLY WE HAD TO GO ANOTHER 60 DAYS, THEN THAT WOULD BE FOUR MONTHS.
AND IN THE CASE OF THE JAIL, THAT THAT WOULD NOT IMPACT US BECAUSE THAT PERSON WOULD BE HIRED.
BUT IF WE HIRE A BRAND NEW DEPUTY, THEN HE'S GOTTA GO THROUGH 16 WEEKS OR FOUR MONTHS, UH, ACTUALLY OF F UH, FTO TRADE BY T ROOF, WHICH MEANS YOU GOTTA DRIVE TO SOMEBODY ELSE.
SO, AND IT MAY TAKE US LIKE 30 DAYS HIRE, SO WE'RE UP TO ABOUT EIGHT TO NINE MONTHS ON THAT ONE SLOT.
SO IT WOULD IMPACT US, UH, I THINK SEVERELY ON THE, UH, DETENTION AND AND COMMISSION PEOPLE.
I, YOU KNOW, I WAS THINKING MY, IT WAS, IT'S NOT SIX DAYS FROM TIME BECOME DAYS FROM TIME SOMEBODY QUITS BEFORE YOU REPLACE SOMEBODY ELSE.
WE DISCUSS THIS IN THE FUTURE SOMETIME.
[00:25:01]
I GUESS WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, PROBABLY WOULD'VE BE THE COST SAVING ON YOUR DEPARTMENT.IF YOU HAD SIX DAYS WORTH OF TIME, YOU HAD TO PAY THEM OFF.
AND THEN GENERALLY THAT'S PROBABLY A PRETTY, UH, PRETTY NUMBER, NOT A NEW LDN TO TAKE CARE OF THE ONE PROGRESS.
MORE DISCUSSIONS ALL FAVOR SAY MOTION CARE.
NEXT, UH, SHERIFF'S GONNA DISCUSS, CONSIDER PURCHASING THE POLICE VEHICLE TO REPLACE A WRECK VEHICLE TO BE PAID WITH INSURANCE FUNDS OF $13,600 AND PROCEEDS FROM SALE OF A HANDGUN SELL EIGHT HANDGUN HANDGUN HAND.
WE DIDN'T HAVE ONE WORTH THE HANDGUN.
THESE ARE THE ONES THAT YOU BOUGHT NEW ONES TO REPLACE THE OLD ONE? YES.
AND THEY BOUGHT IN OUR OLD GUNS AND THEY BOUGHT THE OLD GUNS.
UH, AND THEY TRANSFER, UH, $9,900 FROM, UH, ITEM PARTS, UH, REPAIRS AND CHANGE CARS TOTAL LIKE 23,500, UH, VEHICLE AND EQUIPMENT.
HAVE YOU WORKED THIS OUT WITH JACK? YES.
UH, WE HAVE NOT BOUGHT A, YOU KNOW, VEHICLE THE LAST TWO YEARS NOW.
AND, UH, WE'RE GETTING BY WITH IT.
BUT IF WE HAVE ANOTHER PROBLEM, WE'RE REALLY GOING TO BE HARD PRESSED.
THE 13,600 IS WHAT INSURANCE STUFF ON THE VEHICLE WRECK.
THAT MONEY WAS ORIGINALLY TAKEN OUT OF PARTS REPAIRS TO PAY FOR THOSE GUNS.
UH, WHEN WE GOT THAT REIMBURSED AND I, UH, SPOKE WITH JUDGE JEN AND E ADVISED THAT I PUT THAT BACK IN PART, WHICH IS 5 6 0 32 16, WHERE THE LINE TRANSFER IS COMING OUT OF.
SO KIND AGAIN, IT'S KIND OF ROUNDABOUT WAY TO GET THERE, BUT THAT'S, AND UH, DOUG DID YOU THAT YES.
THE PRICE OF THE VEHICLE, UH, THAT WE GOT FROM, UH, JACK ROUNDED ALL ABOUT 23 5, I THINK IT WAS 23, 3 SOMETHING OR FOUR.
AND IF WE NEED TO WAIT UNTIL, IF Y'ALL AUTHORIZE THAT AND NOT PURCHASE UNTIL JANUARY ONE, YOU KNOW, WE, WE THAT YEAH, WE PROBABLY RECOMMEND.
I'D ENTERTAIN A MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER LER SECOND BY COMMISSIONER JACKSON.
I, UH, I GUESS YOU GOTTA PUT BACK BICYCLES OUT THERE.
WELL, I ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO, UH, ACCEPT THAT MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER.
[00:30:12]
OKAY.I JUST CALLED FOR APPROVAL OF THE MOTION REPORT.
I HAD ENTERTAINED A MOTION TO APPROVE THE QUARTERLY REPORT MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER BY COMMISSIONER JACKSON.
THEN WE GOT THE APPROVAL OF THE QUARTERLY INVESTMENT REPORT.
UH, NEXT, UH, JOHNNY STILL UP.
JUDGE, CERTIFIED PUBLIC COUNTY MAKE NO CHANGES IN ITSC, TEXAS COUNTY DISTRICT.
COUNTY SYSTEM PLAN, UH, PROVISIONS FOR PLAN YEAR 2011.
AND THIS IS JUST THE FACT THAT WE MIGHT GETTING THE CO INCREASED RETIREMENTS.
SEE, I, I MIGHT VOTE AGAINST THIS, BUT I I MIGHT WANT THAT CALL RETIRE AGE, BUT, OKAY.
UH, MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER DULLER.
SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER CLARK.
[00:35:01]
AYE, THERE'S TWO OF JUDGE.WHO BREAKS A TIE WHEN THERE'S A TIE? UH, THAT'S A GOOD POINT.
CONSIDER SETTING UP A LINE OF CREDIT WITH AMERICAN NATIONAL BANK FOR UP TO 3 MILLION, UH, BEING PAID BACK IN THIS, UH, PHYSICAL YEAR.
Y'ALL KNOW, OUR TAX MONEY'S LATE COMING IN AND, UH, IT ISN'T A PROBLEM LATELY.
TAX MONEY'S COMING IN A LITTLE BETTER THIS YEAR, BE LAST YEAR, BUT STILL IT WON'T BE.
AND THE WAY IT'S WORDED, UH, WOULD BE UP TOO.
SO IF ANY MONEY IS NEEDED TO BE BORROWED, IT'D BE DONE.
WHATEVER IS NEEDED AT THE TIME.
MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER JACKSON.
DISCUSS, CONSIDER PROVEN ALL OF JUSTICE COURT OFFICER TO HAVE AGREED TO REQUEST AN INCREASE IN VIOLATIONS ON THE FINE SCHEDULE.
UH, UH, AND EVEN THE NOMINATION.
THIS WILL ALSO HELP INCREASED COLLECTIONS AND ALONG WITH THE $2 TRANSACTION FEE SHOULD INCREASE REVENUE MORE THAN FOR MORE FOR EACH OFFICE.
I NOTICED JP HERE THIS MORNING SPEAK TO THAT OR, UH, IT, THIS IS TO CORRECT TWO ISSUES.
THE, THE ONE ISSUE IS IT FOR SOME REASON, THE, UH, THE FINES WERE TWO 18 AND 10 CENTS.
SO, YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS? THEY HAVE TO MAKE 90 CENTS CHANGE EVERY, EVERY TIME THEY CORRECT IT.
AND THEY THOUGHT BECAUSE OF THE CONDITIONS THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO RAISE THE, UH, UH, THE SCHEDULE UP BY $2 FOR EVERY, AND IT, I THINK THE, THE, UH, THE DA HAS HAS PUT HIS BLESSING ON IT.
AND I GOOD FOR ALL THE JPS TO, UH, ACCEPT THIS.
I BELIEVE JUDGE ADAMS HAS TALKED TO ALL THE, ALL THE JPS WE HAVE.
YOU GOT APPROVAL FROM ALL OF THEM.
THEY ALL, THEY ALL THINK IT'S A GOOD DEAL.
CAN YOU WE INCREASINGLY BY THE TWO.
IT'LL, IT'LL ACTUALLY SEE, YOU GOTTA CUT THIS.
THIS IS TWO 18 AND 10 CENTS FOR SOME REASON.
BUT IN THE PROCESS, THEY JUST ADDED $2 TO ADD ALL THE SCHEDULE, THE SCHEDULE.
UH, I KNOW WE SET OUT WHAT, UH, THE SHERIFF AND CONSTABLE FEES ARE EACH YEAR BY STATUTE AND WE PROVE THOSE.
BUT I DON'T, DOES THIS TAKE THIS OUT APPROPRIATE JUDGE? AND SO, NO, IT'S NOT.
I MEAN, THE JUDGE CAN, CAN, UH, CAN ASSESS SOMEONE LESS MONEY THAN THAT.
BUT THE, THE QUESTION FOR THE COURT IS, IS IT UP TO THE AMOUNT OR LESS THAN THE AMOUNT THAT LAW ALLOWS TO CHARGE FOR THESE DIFFERENT OFFENSES AND ON, ON EACH OF THE OFFENSES THAT, UH, THAT WE'RE NOW SUGGESTING, OR EXCUSE ME, THAT THEY'RE SUGGESTING IT'S, IT'S STILL AT OR BELOW WHAT THE STATE LAW ALLOWS AND THEY WANT TO BRING INTO, SIMPLIFIES IT FOR THEM AND MAY RAISE SOME MORE MONEY IN THE PROCESS IF THERE'S THE SAME AMOUNT OF THAT YOU, BUT THE, WELL JUST HAVE A FEE HIGHLIGHTED THERE.
YOU CAN SEE THAT THE, UH, DOWN AT 30 OR MORE, THAT IS THE MAX.
SO WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING WITH THAT.
YOU CAN'T INCREASE IT BY THE 9 CENTS.
SO THE ONLY CHOICE WOULD BE EITHER LEAVE IT WITH THE 10 CENTS OR REDUCE UM, 10 CENTS.
THE UNRESTRAINED TRIAL, SAME THING.
THERE'S NO WAY WE HAVE TO ALLOCATE THAT HALF OF THAT FINE TO THE STATE.
THERE'S NO WAY TO, TO MAKE IT AN EVEN AMOUNT.
SO YOU HAVE TO LEAVE IT AT 1 98.
WITH THE $202 WOULD BE, YOU KNOW, 225 CENTS.
AND WHAT I ASK THE COMMISSIONERS TO CONSIDER, WE ARE ONE OF THE LOWEST COUNTIES ON OUR FINE SCHEDULE FOR THE NO LIABILITY INSURANCE.
AND STATE STATUTE DOES ALLOW US AT THE 500.
THERE WAS SOME DISCUSSION OVER JP TOO THAT, UH, OUR COUNTY FEES WERE A LOT LESS THAN MUNICIPAL FEES.
AND THE QUESTION ABOUT WHETHER WE RAISE IT.
I GUESS YOU HAD CONVERSATIONS THE TWO OVER THERE AND THAT THIS IS HOW THEY WANT TO GO.
[00:40:03]
OKAY.UH, COMMISSIONER DELL MAKES THE MOTION.
COMMISSIONER CLARK SECONDS IT ALL SAY, AYE.
UH, NEXT DISCUSS AND CONSIDER 2011 COUNTY RE FOR INDIGENT DEFENSE GRANT PROGRAM FORMULA GRANT, WE DO THIS EVERY YEAR TO GET OUR MONEY.
MORE MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER SELLER SECOND.
SECOND BY COMMISSIONER JACKSON.
NEXT, UH, DISCUSSING TOO WHETHER OR NOT THE COUNTY SHOULD PARTICIPATE IN RECOVERY ZONE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, BONDS AND RECOVERY ZONE FACT FACILITY.
BOB, UH, I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE.
THIS PERSON TOLD ME HE WORKED IN THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE, UH, BUT WANTED TO KNOW IF TON COUNTY WANTED TO PASS RESOLUTION TO PARTICIPATE IN THESE, UH, BONDS.
SO I STARTED ASKING HIM QUESTIONS ABOUT IT AND HE HAD, UH, VERY FEW ANSWERS.
UM, SO, UH, I GATHER THAT MY FIRST QUESTION WAS, WELL, IS THIS SOMETHING THAT THE STATE OF TEXAS IS JUST GONNA GIVE US? AND IF WE SAY WE WANT TO TURN IT OVER TO US, OH, NO, NO, NO.
UH, THE VOTERS STILL HAVE TO VOTE.
I SAID, OKAY, YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT, THAT THIS MONEY FROM THE, UH, HAS COME DOWN FROM WASHINGTON THAT'S GOING TO THE STATE, UH, IS THERE, BUT OUR LOCAL PEOPLE HAVE TO VOTE ON WHETHER OR NOT THEY WANT TO PARTICIPATE.
AND I SAID, ALRIGHT, TELL ME WHAT THESE FUNDS CAN BE USED FOR.
I SAID, SEND ME SOME, SOME LITERATURE ON IT.
UH, ALL I GOT WAS A COPY OF THE CONTRACT THAT THEY WANTED SIGN.
SO I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THESE MINE CAN BE USED FOR.
UH, THE PEOPLE STILL HAVE TO PUT THEM IN.
WHAT I DO KNOW IS THAT THE CAL COUNTY FOLKS SHOULD NOT PARTICIPATE.
THEN THE GOVERNOR'S GONNA PUT ALL THIS MONEY IN ONE BIG PILE AND THEN HE WILL DIVIV IT UP ACROSS THE STATE LIKE HE WANTS.
BUT IN ORDER FOR THE COUNTY TO GET ANY OF IT, THE VOTERS STILL HAVE TO APPROVE AND WHATEVER THE VOTERS APPROVE, THE VOTERS STILL HAVE TO PAY IT BACK.
SO, UH, YOU HAVE TO HAVE, THEY'D HAVE TO BE TAXED TO PAY THESE BONDS BACK.
SO I DOESN'T SOUND TOO EXCITING TO ME.
THEY'RE SO VAGUE IN WHAT, UH, THE INFORMATION THAT THEY'RE GIVING OUT.
I HAVE GREAT CONCERNS ABOUT
I'D BE WORRIED THAT IT CAME UP IN SOME CONVERSATION ACROSS THE CAMP, ACROSS STATE THAT TO WORK.
YEAH, THAT'S, AND THEY CAN'T TELL YOU, BUT YOU PUT YOURSELF IN A LOT LIABILITY IF YOU DON'T THROUGH.
YEAH, I, SO, I, I DON'T A GOOD DEAL.
WELL OF COURSE THEY'RE SAYING WE'VE GOTTA HAVE A DECISION THEN THE BONDS MUST BE SOLD BY JANUARY 1ST.
SO IF WE'RE GOING TO PARTICIPATE, WE GOTTA FOR TODAY.
SO WHAT'S YOUR PLEASURE NOT TO PARTICIPATE? I ENTERTAIN A MOTION NOT PARTICIPATE.
MOTION MADE BY, UH, COMMISSIONER.
NOT TO PARTICIPATE IN PARTICULAR.
CAN WE PUT A CAVEAT FOR THAT UNTIL WE GET SOME INFORMATION, SOME REAL INFORMATION.
WE GOT JANUARY, GOT JANUARY ONE TO
[00:45:01]
ISSUE THE BOMB.HAVE AN ELECTION PRIOR UNIFORM ELECTION DATE.
THAT'S WHY I'M SAYING THIS, THIS WHOLE THING'S ALL SCREWED UP.
AND THEN IT ALWAYS BOTHERS ME WHEN SOMEBODY COMES IN AND SAYS, YOU GOTTA MAKE THE DECISION NOW WITHOUT EVEN THEN WHEN YOU ASK FOR INFORMATION AND THEY DON'T SEND YOU THE INFORMATION, YOU ALL BETTER DOES IT ALL IN FAVOR NOT TO PARTICIPATE.
ALRIGHT, NOW WE'LL DISCUSS THE CENTER REVISION TO THE OFFICIAL HOLIDAY SCHEDULE FOR COUNTY EMPLOYEE FOR TWO 10.
UH, JERRY HAD REQUESTED THIS ON THE AGENDA, UH, YESTERDAY IN CHURCH.
JERRY TOLD ME THAT, UH, THE CONCERNS THAT HE HAD AND PEOPLE HAD TALKED TO HIM HAD ADDED WORK HARD, WORKED OUT.
UH, THE TAX, UH, COLLECTOR, MR. MURPHY'S GONNA HAVE A PERSONAL STANDBY, UM, IN THE DRIVE IN CASE, UH, AUTOMOBILES ARE SOLD AND THEY NEED TO REGISTER THE AUTOMOBILE CALL AND THEY'LL MEET THERE, THE DRIVE IN TO REGISTER THE AUTOMOBILE.
AND BEFORE THAT WAS THE LAST, UH, CONCERN THAT HE HAD WAS, UH, UH, WITH AUTOMOBILES.
NOW, UH, WE'VE GOT AN INDIVIDUAL SIGNED UP TO SPEAK ON THIS MATTER, HECTOR, AND DISCUSS THE HOLIDAYS FOR THE DIRECTOR.
HERE, HONORABLE JUDGE, HONORABLE COMMISSIONERS, HONORABLE CLARK.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, ON BEHALF OF OUR TITLE COMPANY CELEBRATING 137 YEARS OF CONTINUED BUSINESS IN THIS COUNTY, I COME TO YOU TODAY TO ASK YOU TO RECONSIDER CLOSING IN THE COURTHOUSE FOR LONGED PERIODS OF TIME.
CLOSING IN THE COURTHOUSE FOR MANY DAYS WILL HAVE A RIPPLE EFFECT, NOT ONLY BY MAKING THE TITLE COMPANIES BE OUT OF COMPLIANCE, SINCE WE'RE MANDATED BY THE TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF INSURANCE TO RECORD DOCUMENTS WITHIN SEVEN TWO HOURS OF CLOSING, BUT ALSO TO THE PURCHASERS WHO HAVE TO HAVE RECORDED BE IN ORDER TO HAVE THE WATER TURNED ON.
THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN RURAL AREAS.
PERHAPS ANOTHER WAY TO HELP THE EMPLOYEES IS TO SPREAD OUT THE NUMBER OF DAYS OFF PER MONTH OR QUARTERLY, OR EVEN EVERY TWO TO THREE WEEKS.
I'M NOT HERE TO TELL YOU WHAT TO DO.
I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO RECOGNIZE YOUR EFFORT TO HELP THE COUNTY EMPLOYEES IN OFFSETTING THE PAY CUT THAT RECENTLY RECEIVED.
I UNDERSTAND THAT MANY, IF NOT ALL ELECTED OFFICIALS HAVE TAKEN THIS IMPACT.
WHILE THE IMPACT IS FAR TOO GREAT, EVEN IF ONLY ONE EMPLOYEE HAS BEEN AFFECTED, AT THE END OF THE DAY, WE SHOULD ALL BE THANKFUL THAT THIS SITUATION WAS NOT ANY WORSE.
THANK YOU FOR LISTENING AND THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DID FOR THIS GREAT COUNTY.
WELL, JUDGE, JUDGE, YOU SAID THAT, UH, I DON'T THINK POLICE CALL AND SOMEONE COME, THAT'S MY UNDERSTANDING.
AND ALSO THE DISTRICT JUDGE I SPOKE WITH JUDGE TTY.
JUDGE WAS GONNA CONTACT THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY, HAVE ONE ASSISTANT DA ON STANDBY, CONTACT THE DISTRICT CLERK TO HAVE ONE CLERK ON STANDBY.
AND IF ANYBODY NEED A RESTRAINING ORDER DURING THE CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY, THEN THESE STANDBY THEY CALL HIM, THEY COME IN.
IF RETRAINING, I WOULD AFFECT THE FEDERAL DAYS.
AND WE TALKED ABOUT THAT, RIGHT? WELL, THAT'S WHY WE CONSIDER CLOSING THE WHOLE COURTHOUSE RATHER THAN HAVING EACH DEPARTMENT INDIVIDUALS OFFICE PERIODICALLY, BECAUSE BY CLOSING THE WHOLE COURTHOUSE, WE SAVE ELECTRICITY, ALL UTILITIES.
BUT IF THEY HAVE TO CALL IN, COME BACK IN 20, YOU GOTTA REMEMBER, YOU COURTHOUSE IS ALREADY GONNA BE CLOSED WE THURSDAY, FRIDAY AND CHRISTMAS.
SO WE'RE JUST CLOSING MONDAY, TUESDAY MORE THAN WHAT ALL BEING SCHEDULED TO BE CLOSED.
SO I HAVE A CONCERN FOR WHAT HECK, UH, WHAT WOULD SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM.
IN OTHER WORDS, CLOSING JUST ONE SECTION OF THE COURTHOUSE IS REALLY NOT EFFICIENT.
WHAT WOULD BE YOUR SOLUTION? GIVE, GIVE ME A SOLUTION.
I KNOW THE REALTORS AND YOUR 72 ARE, I NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT.
IS IT SOMETHING THAT THE COUNTY CLERK CAN, CAN HELP IF THEY HAVE A PERSON ON CALL AND, UM, WHEN
[00:50:01]
YOU JUST TELL ME WHAT, WHAT YOU THINK.PERHAPS I HAVEN'T, AND I DON'T KNOW, YOU KNOW, WHAT ALL THEY WOULD'VE TO DO
OF COURSE, IT'S NOT JUST OUR COMPANY.
RIGHT NOW THERE'S 19 LICENSE COMPANIES IN THE COUNTY, BUT, UH, AND THEY ALL HAVE DOCUMENTS TO REPORT HOW MANY PEOPLE LAURA HAVE TO HAVE, YOU KNOW, ON STANDBY BASIS TO NOT, MY OPINION IS THIS IS GONNA BE A ONE TIME DEAL THIS YEAR AND IT PROBABLY WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN.
UH, AND IT'S A PROBABLY ONE OR TWO DAY DEAL.
UM, AND I DON'T KNOW, HELP ME OUT.
OR WHAT, WHAT WOULD THIS ENTAIL FOR YOUR PEOPLE TO, LIKE, IF THEY, THEY NEED TO DO A TITLE WEEK, WHATEVER.
WHAT, WHAT, WHAT WOULD THAT ENTAIL? WELL, IF HE, IF SOMEONE HAS TO BRING IT IN AND GET IT RECORDED, THEN WE WOULD HAVE TO HAVE, YOU KNOW, THE SHERIFF OPEN THE COURTHOUSE SO THAT THEY COULD WALK IN AND DO IT.
IF THEY RECORDED IT, I COULD HAVE SOMEONE COME IN AND DO IT.
BUT I, I ALMOST SIDE WITH THE JUDGE THAT, YOU KNOW, THIS IS, THIS IS TWO DAYS.
ARE WE GONNA HAVE PEOPLE COME IN TWO DAYS BEFORE CHRISTMAS? YOU KNOW, IS THERE SOMETHING THAT THE TITLE COMPANIES CAN DO TO PREPARE AND REALIZE THAT THEY, YOU KNOW, THE OFFICE IS NOT GONNA BE OPEN IF YOU, IF YOU HAVE AN EMERGENCY SITUATION.
I BELIEVE THEY HAVE, YOU KNOW, PHONE NUMBERS.
BUT IF THEY HAVE TO COME INTO THE COURTHOUSE, DO WE LET 'EM IN THE BACK DOOR? ARE ARE MY GIRLS HERE ALONE? NO, I NOT.
LEMME ASK YOU, YOU KNOW, MOST OF VIOLENCE IN COURT, IF THEY, IT'S A HOLIDAY.
THAT'S WHY WE CLASSIFY THESE AS HOLIDAYS RATHER THAN FURLOUGH DAYS BECAUSE, UH, THE DISTRICT JUDGES HAD A CONCERN.
ANSWER HAS BE FILED THE FIRST MONDAY AFTER 10 DAYS.
UH, UNLESS IT'S A HOLIDAY, IT'S A HOLIDAY, THEN THE FILINGS ARE PUT OFF TO THE NEXT WORKING DAY.
NOW IS THAT THE SAME WAY WITH REAL ESTATE OR WELL, YOU'RE CORRECT AS TO, YOU KNOW, BEING A HOLIDAY WHEN THE COURTHOUSE IS CLOSE TO A HOLIDAYS OR, YOU KNOW, A DISASTER, THE COURTHOUSE HAS TO BE SHUT DOWN, THEN YOU KNOW, THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO.
SO WE JUST WRITE A MEMO OR SOMETHING IN THAT FILE TO WHY WE SO IT STILL WOULD BE FILED THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY, CORRECT? CORRECT.
UM, I THOUGHT THIS WAS BEING CALLED FURLOUGH DECK AND NOT HOLIDAY.
NO, THESE ARE HOLIDAYS, BUT WE DO NOT CALL THEM FOROUGH DAYS.
SO I MEAN, IF THE COURT HAS CLOSED DOWN BECAUSE OF THE NUMBER HOLIDAYS, REGARDLESS OF THE NUMBER, UH, THERE'S NOTHING ANY OF US CAN DO.
THAT JUST THE JUDGE SAID WE, THEY DID NOT WANNA CLASSIFY AS
AND, AND PERHAPS THAT WAS A MISUNDER, A MISUNDERSTANDING ON HER PART, NOT KNOWING THE DIFFERENCE, WHETHER AT SOME POINT THEY WERE BEING CALLED FURLOUGH DAYS.
AT SOME POINT THEY BEING CALLED HOLIDAY DAYS.
