I WANTED TO JUST LEAVE IT OPEN TO MY MOTIONS AT THE TIME.
AND I I CERTAINLY DO APPRECIATE, UM, THE COMMISSIONER'S COURT HONORING ME THIS WAY TODAY.
I, UH, EAR IN EARLIER DAYS, I WOULD NEVER HAVE DREAMED THAT I WOULD HAVE THE PRIVILEGE AND THE HONOR TO DO WHAT YOU'VE ALLOWED ME TO DO TO REPRESENT THIS WONDERFUL COUNTY, UH, THIS DISTRICT IN THE LEGISLATURE OF OUR GREAT STATE OF TEXAS.
[00:05:01]
HOW THAT WILL ALWAYS GO WITH ME AS A GREAT PRIVILEGE AND GREAT HONOR.AND THE OTHER THING I COULDN'T HAVE POSSIBLY HAVE IMAGINED IS KALIN COUNTY NAMING A BETTY BROWN DAY,
I APPRECIATE YOU, UM, FOR DOING IT AND I APPRECIATE YOU FOR COMING.
SOME OF MY FRIENDS HAVE SHOWN UP THIS MORNING.
APPRECIATE RON STICKING WITH ME THROUGH, UH, THESE
MOSTLY BEEN A GREAT HONOR, BUT OF COURSE THERE HAVE BEEN SOME REALLY TIMES.
IT WAS VERY TRYING AND VERY DIFFICULT.
SO IT WAS GREAT THAT TO HAVE FAMILY AND FRIENDS STICKING WITH ME DURING THAT TIME.
SO I WANT TO KEEP YOU ANY LONGER, I JUST WANTED TO KNOW YOU TO KNOW HOW MUCH I APPRECIATE IT.
IT'S ALWAYS GRATIFYING TO SEE PEOPLE WHO WILL DONATE THEIR TIME AND BASICALLY THEIR LIVES.
I KNOW YOU AND RON HAVE DONE THAT FOR A LONG TIME AND WE APPRECIATE THAT SERVICE TO THE, ALRIGHT, THE NEXT ITEM IS, UH, TO DISCUSS AND CONSIDER SETTING THE OFFICIAL HOLIDAYS FOR THE 2011 THIS YEAR FOR COLTON COUNTY EMPLOYEES.

SO THAT WOULD BE, UH, AND I BELIEVE THERE'S HOW MANY OF 'EM? SEVEN OF 'EM FOR THIS FOR 2011.
NOW, SHOULD WE HAVE TO DO FURLOUGH DAYS AFTER WE ADOPT A NEW BUDGET? THEY'RE NOT INCLUDED IN THIS.
SO THOSE WOULD BE ADDED LATER ON DURING THE YEAR.

SO, UH, YOU HAVE THEM LISTED THERE.
DO YOU ANYBODY HAVE ANY COMMENTS ABOUT THAT? THERE'S SEVEN FURLOUGH DAYS.
I'M GLAD TO SEE THAT WE'RE NOT CLOSED THE WHOLE WEEK OF CHRISTMAS AT THE TIME.

I HAVE, I HAVE A QUESTION TO HAVE.

[00:15:01]
MANAGEMENT? CHUCK'S USUALLY HERE, BUT I DON'T SEE HIM TODAY.UM, IT SAYS THAT WE RECEIVED TWO APPLICATIONS FROM MEMBERS WITHIN THE DISTRICT WHO ARE WILLING TO SERVE.

I DON'T KNOW EITHER OF THESE GENTLEMEN.
IT MIGHT BE BETTER IF TABLE THAT.
IS THERE ANY TRAINING THAT THESE, UH, THESE NEW CANDIDATES SHOULD, UH, HAVE? I DON'T TO PARTICIPATE ON THIS BOARD.
I THINK THAT, UH, IF THEY'RE WILLING TO SERVE, THEY JUST, UH, GET SOME ON THE JOB TRAINING FROM THE OTHERS.
THERE'S NOTHING THAT I KNOW THAT THEY GO TO COURT.
I, I, I DUNNO IF HIS PRECINCT JUDGE, IS THERE ANY REASON WE CAN'T TABLE THIS UNTIL RAISE HERE SINCE THEY IN HIS PRECINCT? I OKAY.
WE'LL JUST PROBABLY BE BETTER TO TABLE THAT.
SO NOT ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO TABLE THAT TALK WITH THE COMMISSIONER.
WE HAVE A MOTION FROM COMMISSIONER JACKSON AND SECOND COMMISSIONER TO TABLE THAT ITEM UNTIL, UH, WE CALL COMMISSIONER CLARK.
NEXT ITEM IS TO CONSIDER APPROVAL OF LINE ITEM TRANSFERS.
JUDGE, WE DO HAVE SOME TO SAY.
UM, ACTUALLY ONE OF 'EM IS, IS IN, IN YOUR AREA THAT YOU'RE PROBABLY NOT AWARE OF.
BUT IT'S BECAUSE THE, UH, EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT COORDINATOR WAS PUT UNDER THE COUNTY JUDGE AND REALIZED THAT THERE IS NO TRAINING EDUCATION FOR, UH, SO WE'RE PROPOSING WE $825 FROM HIS EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT EQUIPMENT IN THE TRAINING EDUCATION MOUNT MILLS AND LODGING, UH, IN GENERAL GOVERNMENT, WE NEED TO INCREASE EMPLOYEE DRUG TESTING $500 WITH SPECIAL SERVICES IN THE ELECTIONS AREA.
WE HAD SOME, UH, VOTING EQUIPMENT THAT WAS PURCHASED A YEAR OR TWO AGO, AND AT THE TIME, THE UH, MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT WAS INCLUDED IN THE PRICE.
SO THAT'S KIND OF WHERE THE BUDGET HAS STAYED.
AND SOFTWARE MAINTENANCE, $23,718.
WE WOULD PROPOSE TO RECORD THAT PROPERLY AS AS SOFTWARE MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE AGREEMENTS RATHER THAN EQUIPMENT PURCHASES.
SO WE PROPOSE MOVING 20 3007 QUOTING EQUIPMENT TO SOFTWARE MAINTENANCE LOSS, UH, SIMILAR SITUATION, TAX ACCESSOR COLLECTOR COMMUTE, UH, MOVE TO $1,500 FROM COMPUTER SUPPLIES TO OFFICE SUPPLIES.
KIND OF HARD TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE WHEN YOU'RE, YOU'RE QUESTIONING, BUT MORE PROPERLY THERE.

THAT'S THE PART I HATE IS PAYING THE MAIL.

AND THIS WILL PROBABLY BE ONE OF SEVERAL THAT WE WILL DO.
UH, IT'S BETTER TO TALK ABOUT IT NOW THAN AT THE END OF THE YEAR WHEN MAYBE WE WE'RE TOO LATE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
SO I DON'T EXPECT ANYTHING MAJOR TO COME OUT OF THAT, BUT JUST A GENERAL DISCUSSION GONNA BE HERE.
IT'LL BE JUST A GENERAL DISCUSSION.
