[00:00:05]
FIRST EVENING MEETING OR OUR, MAYBE NOT OUR FIRST EVER EVENING MEETING, BUT THANK YOU FOR BEING IN ATTENDANCE TODAY FOR OUR BEGINNING EVENING MEETING.
AND WE'LL HAVE THREE MORE OF THESE THIS YEAR THAT WE'LL, UH, UH, PUBLICIZE ONE EVERY QUARTER.
AND I BELIEVE THE NEXT ONE IS IN JUNE WHEN WE'LL BE MEETING AGAIN.
WE APPRECIATE THE EFFORT, FOLKS TO BE HERE.
UH, WE'LL START WITH THE INVOCATION AND I'VE ASKED, UH, COMMISSIONER MANNING TO DO THAT.
AND IF YOU WOULD JOIN ME AND STAND AND FOR REMAIN STANDING FOR THE PLEDGE OF BELIEF THROUGH THE AMERICAN FLAG AND TO THE, UH, TEXAS FLAG.
DEAR HEAVEN AND THE FATHER, THANK YOU FOR THIS GLORIOUS DAY.
THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THIS COMMISSIONER'S COURT TO COME TOGETHER TO MAKE THE DECISIONS OF THE COUNTY.
LORD, KEEP THEM SAFE AND BRING THEM HOME IN A PROMPT MANNER.
THANK YOU LORD FOR OUR MANY BLESSINGS, AND GIVE US THE STRENGTH TO MAKE THE DECISIONS FOR THE COUNTY AND THE BEST THAT WE CAN DO.
I PLEDGE THE FLAG THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS.
ONE NATION UN GOD INVIS WITH LIBERTY IN FOR ALL ON HONOR OF TEXAS.
FLAG, I ALLEGIANCE TO BE A TEXAS ONE UNDER GOD.
NEXT PORTION OF OUR MEETING IS RESERVED FOR REMARKS FROM VISITORS AND WE HAD A SIGN IN SHEET, UH, AT THE COURT AND YOU ENTERED.
AND I BELIEVE WE RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE ONE PERSON WHO IS ON, UH, WHO IS ASKED TO SPEAK.
MS. BRIAN, IF YOU COME UP TO THE, UH, SPEAKER PODIUM HERE WHERE THE MICROPHONE IS.
AND WE HAVE THREE MINUTES FOR VISITORS, UH, TO SPEAK INDIVIDUALLY.
AND OUR TIMEKEEPER IS OUR COUNTY CLERK.
SHE HAS A BELL THAT SHE LOVES TO READ.
ANYWAY, MY NAME IS JIM BRYAN OR JAMES P. BRYAN.
I LIVE OVER ON THE STREET CALLED GRAD DEAN, WHICH INTERSECTS TWO COUNTY ROADS, 1 36 AND 1 37.
AND THAT'S WHAT THE SUBJECT MATTER IS, BOTH 1 36 AND 1 37 T AND TWO STATE HIGHWAY 27 28.
RAY DEAN IS ABOUT THREE QUARTERS OF A MILE, UH, WEST OF 27 28.
AND IT RUNS BETWEEN THESE TWO ROADS.
THE PROBLEM IS, UH, FOR SOME REASON SOMEONE HAS SEEN FIT TO PUT STOP SIGNS ON THE END, BOTH ENDS OF BREAKING DRIVE NOW 1 36 AND OR 1 37.
BE LUCKY IF THEY HAVE FIVE VEHICLES AN HOUR COME UP AND DOWN.
SO HOWEVER, 1 37 DOES HAVE, AND IN SOME CASES HAVE A LITTLE MORE TRAFFIC 'CAUSE THEY COME OFF OF I 20 AND GO DOWN 1 20, 1 37 AND THEN TURN ON BRADEN OR ANGELA THE NEXT STREET OVER.
ANYWAY, UH, THE TRAFFIC FLOW IS SO SLIGHT THAT I DON'T, I, I DON'T SEE THE REASON BEHIND HAVING STOP SIGNS AT THE ENDS OF BRADEN, WHEREAS I DO FOR 1 36 AND 1 37 'CAUSE THEY COME INTO A STATE HIGHWAY AND YOU'RE DEALING WITH CURVES AND HILLS AND, AND KIND OF A SAFETY FACTOR.
WHEREAS THE HOUSES ARE SET BACK ON
AND THE REASON THIS GOT BROUGHT TO A HEAD IS BECAUSE I RECEIVED A TICKET FROM THE SHERIFF'S DEPUTY DRIVING A PICKUP TRUCK WHEN I WAS ON MY WAY OVER TO A GOP MEETING IN CRANDALL.
AND I FOUND OUT THAT THE FINE FOR THAT STOP SIGN IS 2.64 TIMES THE FINE FOR A STOP SIGN OR A RED LIGHT.
AND CAROL, I JUST THOUGHT THAT WAS A LITTLE BIT MUCH.
AND SO I'M GONNA MAKE A STATEMENT KIND OF LIKE A WOMAN THAT'S BEEN RAPED.
I DON'T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN TO SOMEBODY ELSE AGAIN.
SO I THINK BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF TRAFFIC FLOW ON THOSE THREE STREETS, THE SIGNS AT EACH END OF BRADEN SHOULD BE DOWNGRADED TO A YIELD SIGN.
'CAUSE YOU CAN SEE A HUNDRED, 200 YARDS IN EITHER DIRECTION IF THERE'S A VEHICLE APPROACH IT AND IT, THE TRAFFIC FLOW IS SO LIGHT THAT THEY, THEY REALLY DON'T RATE A STOP SIGN IN THE FIRST PLACE.
SO THAT'S ABOUT ALL I HAVE TO SAY, UH, SAY ABOUT THAT.
AND I THINK MY COMMISSIONER HAS BEEN OUT THERE TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT.
AND SO, UH, AND IT'S A NICE QUIET, THAT'S ONE OF THE REASON WE MOVED FROM GRANDBURY OUT HERE IS NICE AND QUIET OUT FROM EVERYTHING.
NOT A LOT OF SIRENS OR ANY OTHER KIND
[00:05:01]
OF DISTURBANCES.SO WE LIKE IT OUT IN THE COUNTRY AND JUST COUPLE LITTLE N******G THINGS THERE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR PERIOD.
I WOULD NOT TO RESPOND TO THAT.
I KNOW WE'RE NOT GONNA DO THAT, JIM.
UH, I HAVE LOOKED AT THAT AND I'LL BE, I'LL, I'LL BE BACK IN TOUCH WITH YOU NEXT WEEK.
DON'T GET A TICKET ON THE WAY HOME.
OH, I, THAT'S THE ONLY TO, UH, SPEAK.
ANYONE ELSE HERE? WISH TO SPEAK TO THE COURT? OKAY, WELL THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS THE CONSENT AGENDA.
ANGIE, ADD THAT I WOULD LIKE TO, UH, PULL THAT.
THAT'LL ALLOW, WE WEREN'T GOING TO TAKE ANY ACTION ON IT, BUT IT WILL BECOME A PART OF, UH, THE LAST ITEM ON THE ADDENDUM THAT WE, UH, ADDED, UH, ITEMS NINE AND 10 THAT'LL BECOME A PART OF THAT.
SO IF YOU'LL TAKE THAT LETTER FROM THE TEXAS HISTORICAL COMMISSION AND ADD IT TO THAT, WE'LL, WE'LL DELETE IT FROM THE, UH, APPROVE THE ITEM.
SECOND BY MULTIPLE FOLKS HERE.
YOU WANT PICK THEY ALL THREE? THAT SECOND? I THINK SO.
ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.
THOSE OPPOSED? ALRIGHT, JUDGE, CALL ONE.
PARDON? WHO IS SECOND? UH, WELL COMMITTEE, LET'S SAY COMMISSIONER MANNING.
THE NEXT ITEM IS ITEM TWO FROM KATHY MORRIS, WHO IS OUR PUBLIC WORK DIRECTOR.
AND SHE WILL DISCUSS AND ACT, ACT US TO ACT ON APPROVING AND INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN COUNTY AND THE CITY OF SEVILLE TO REGULATE PERMIT, PERMIT AND PLAN REGARDING ONSITE SEWAGE FACILITIES LOCATED WITHIN KAMAN COUNTY.
I HAD EVERYBODY COME EXCEPT FOR SEVILLE HAS GOT, THERE'S ABOUT FIVE SYSTEMS AND IN THE SEVILLE CITY LIMITS NORTH OF 1 7 5.
SO WE NEED TO HAVE AN AGREEMENT WITH THEM ALL SESSION TO DO THEIR PROGRAM.
ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF, UH, KATHY? NO.
I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO, UH, ACCEPT AND APPROVE NO JURY.
SECOND FROM COMMISSIONER CLARK.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.
UH, AND THEN HAL JONES, OUR, AND WE HAVE THIS ON FILE IN OUR OFFICE.
I DON'T BELIEVE IT TAKES ANY ACTION, UH, TO ACCEPT IT.
SO DO I HAVE A MOTION TO ACCEPT THE AUDITOR'S REPORT AS PRESENTED BY SOMEBODY? COMMISSIONER JACKSON MOVE AND COMMISSIONER MANNING A SECOND.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL FAVOR SAY AYE.
UH, OUR COUNTY CLERK, LAURA HUGHES, HAS A PRESENTATION AND ASKING US TO DISCUSS AND ACT ON AN PROVEN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COUNTY CLERK AND TYLER, UH, TECHNOLOGY FOR OUR COUNTY CLERK'S OFFICE TO BE A TYLER RECORD SITE.
THIS IS, UH, QUITE AN HONOR FOR OUR COUNTY AND OUR COUNTY CLERK AND, UH, WE GLAD TO LEARN ABOUT IT TODAY A LITTLE BIT.
I'M HOPING THAT MOST OF EVERYONE HAS A PRINTOUT BASICALLY WITH THE QUESTIONS.
THE TYLER REFERENCE PROGRAM IS A PROGRAM WHEREAS THEY'VE ASKED, UM, 35 CUSTOMERS THROUGHOUT THE NATION TO BE A REFERENCE SITE.
THEY HAD SIX COUNTY CLERKS THAT THEY'VE ASKED TO BE A REFERENCE SITE FOR THEM.
UM, THOSE, THOSE PEOPLE ARE IN LIKE NEW MEXICO, CALIFORNIA, WASHINGTON, NEW YORK, MICHIGAN, NORTH CAROLINA.
AND THEY'VE ASKED TWO COUNTY CLERKS FROM TEXAS TO BE A REFERENCE SITE FOR THE LAND OF COURTING SYSTEM, TYLER EAGLE.
AND, UM, I PASSED THIS, THIS AGREEMENT TO JOHN LONG AND HE SAID, BRING IT TO COURT AND LET 'EM KNOW A LITTLE BIT WHAT IT'S ABOUT.
UM, THIS PROGRAM IS WHEN ANOTHER COUNTY WANTS TO LOOK AT A LAND RECORD SYSTEM.
THEY COME INTO A REFERENCE SITES COUNTY, THEY, THEY WATCH YOU WORK IT, THEY ASK YOU QUESTIONS.
UM, AND IT, IN EXCHANGE FOR THIS, WE GET, UM, THE LATEST UPGRADES.
WE GET PRIORITIZED SERVICE, UM, WE GET TICKETS TO THE USER CONFERENCE.
WE'RE ADDED ON THEIR NATIONAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE AND WE GET A DISCOUNT ON THEIR SOFTWARE PROGRAMS, WHICH WOULD BE EAGLE AND ANY CODE AT THIS POINT IN TIME.
UM, JUST LIKE Y'ALL TO CONSIDER THIS AGREEMENT, IT BRINGS A LOT TO THIS COUNTY FOR OUR OFFICE AND I'D APPRECIATE IT.
YOU ALL WOULD APPROVE OF THE AGREEMENT AND IT GETS
[00:10:01]
US A DISCOUNT.SO IT'S A WIN-WIN DEAL FOR EVERY EVERYBODY.
AND YOU'RE WILLING TO TAKE WHAT A LITTLE TIME THIS TAKES TO SHOW THESE PEOPLE AROUND AND DO WHATEVER IT IS THEY NEED TO LOOK AT WHEN THEY COME IN.
IS THERE ANY COST TO THE CAM? NO.
SHOULD BE A, A REVENUE GENERATOR HOPEFULLY, OR AT LEAST A DISCOUNT BENEFIT FROM HOPE SO.
WE HAVE A MOTION FROM, UH, COMMISSIONER CLARK, A SECOND FROM COMMISSIONER MANNY TO APPROVE THE, UH, AGREEMENT BETWEEN KAUFMAN COUNTY AND TYLER, UH, TECHNOLOGY.
NEXT ITEM IS, UH, ONE THAT I ASK TO BE PUT ON THE AGENDA AND THAT IS TO DISCUSS AND ACT ON APPOINTING STEVE HOODY AS THE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT, UH, OUR EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT COORDINATOR TO OVERSEE THE KAUFMAN COUNTY EMERGENCY SERVICES DISTRICT COMPLIANCE FOR THE STATUTES, UH, GOVERNING ESDS FOR THE COMMISSIONER'S COURT.
JUST KIND OF AS POINT OF REFERENCE, WE HAVE SEVEN ESDS IN OUR COUNTY, AND I KNOW THE COMMISSIONERS ARE ALL FAMILIAR WITH THOSE.
UH, SOME OF THEM WE HAVE VERY GOOD COMMUNICATION WITH AND SOME OF THEM WE DO NOT.
AND IT'S NOT ANYBODY'S FAULT, IT'S JUST KIND OF HOW THAT HAS, UH, HAPPENED.
AND, UH, UH, WHAT I HAVE ASKED, UH, STEVE TO DO AS HIS IN HIS ROLE AS THE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT COORDINATOR IS TO IMPROVE OUR COMMUNICATION WITH, UH, THE EMERGENCY SERVICES DISTRICT.
AND PRIMARILY WHAT WE NEED, UH, FROM ALL OF THEM IS ONE, PRIMARILY THE REASON FOR DOING THIS IS TO IMPROVE OUR COMMUNICATION AT THE COUNTY LEVEL WITH THEM.
THEY ALL HAVE BOARDS OF DIRECTORS, WHICH MANY OF YOU KNOW, BECAUSE SOME OF YOU HAVE ONE IN YOUR PRECINCT.
AND THEN I THINK COUPLE OF YOU HAVE TWO OR THREE THAT OVERLAP PRECINCT COMPLIANCE.
BUT THIS WILL GIVE, UH, US AN UPDATE FROM THEM AND, AND THEN WE'LL BE ABLE TO COMMUNICATE WITH THEM, MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE IN COMPLIANCE WITH ALL THE, UH, APPLICABLE LAWS, UH, DEALING WITH THE BONDING OF, OF THE, UH, FOLKS THAT ARE ON THE ESD BOARDS, UH, AS WELL AS THE, MAKE SURE THE APPOINTMENTS ARE CURRENT AS WELL.
AND STEVE HAS, HAS ALREADY STARTED WORKING ON THIS.
UH, I JUST FELT LIKE IT WOULD BE GOOD WHEN HE'S OUT WORKING WITH THE, THE DIFFERENT ESD DISTRICTS, UH, IF HE COULD HAVE, UH, UH, BE ABLE TO TELL THEM HE'S WORKING ON BEHALF OF ME AND OTHER COMMISSIONER'S COURT.
STEVE, DO YOU WANT TO GIVE US A QUICK UPDATE ON WHY DON'T YOU COME UP HERE AND KIND OF GIVE US A QUICK UPDATE? I KNOW YOU'VE ALREADY ESTABLISHED A COMMUNICATION WITH SOME OF THE ESDS.
I DIDN'T TELL YOU I WAS GONNA ASK YOU TO DO THAT.
I WAS SITTING BACK THERE HOPING YOU WOULDN'T.
BUT, UH, I HAVE TALKED WITH, UH, THE STATE TECH, UH, THE TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF RURAL AFFAIRS, SPOKE WITH THEM TODAY AND, UH, HAVE RESEARCHED ALL THE APPLICABLE LAWS AND STATUTES THAT WE HAVE AND HAVE A PRETTY GOOD UNDERSTANDING OF WHERE ALL OF OUR ES DS STAND AT THIS POINT.
AND, UH, WHAT I WANT TO DO NOW IS GET WITH THE PRESIDENTS OF THE BOARDS, MEET WITH THEM, GET ON THEIR AGENDAS AND PRO, PROVIDE AN EDUCATIONAL, UH, OPPORTUNITY AT THEIR MEETINGS TO BRING THEM UP TO SPEED ON ALL THE CURRENT, UH, LEGISLATION IN PLACE AS WELL AS PENDING LEGISLATION THAT'S GOING ON NOW.
UH, AND THEN WORK WITH THEM TO, TO TRY TO GET EVERYTHING UP TO DATE AND UP TO SPEED.
AND AS WE GO ALONG, THEN I CAN REPORT BACK TO YOU ON OUR PROGRESS AND HOPEFULLY IN SHORT ORDER WE'LL GET EVERYBODY WHERE THEY NEED TO BE AND EVERYBODY'S GONNA BE HAPPY.
ONE OF THE THINGS, GREAT IDEA.
ONE OF THE THINGS I ASKED STEVE TO DO IS WHENEVER HE IS VISITING IN YOUR PRECINCTS OR TALKING WITH YOUR PEOPLE TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE AWARE OF THAT AND, AND IF YOU WANT TO ATTEND, WHICH I THINK HE WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TOO, SOME OF THOSE INSTANCES IS TO, TO DO THAT AS WELL.
WE HAVE A, WE HAVE SEVEN ESDS AND UH, ALL OF 'EM DO A GREAT JOB IN PROVIDING, UH, FUNDING AND SUPPORT TO OUR, UH, THE VARIOUS FIRE DEPARTMENTS AND OTHER, OTHER EMERGENCY SERVICES WE HAVE.
AND IT JUST MAKES SENSE TO HAVE STEVE KIND OF, UH, WORKING WITH THOSE AND MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE IN COMPLIANCE AS WELL AS WE'RE IN COMPLIANCE AS WELL AS THE ESDS OR COMPLIANCE.
IT'S NOT ANYTHING NEGATIVE ABOUT, IT'S JUST MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE ALL DOING WHAT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DOING.
I THINK THE LINE OF COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE USDS AND COUNTY WOULD BE BENEFICIAL TO BOTH HAVE TO CHIEF UNDERSTAND.
I I THINK IT'S A, IT'S A COMMUNICATION LINE THERE NOW, BUT IT'S NOT TO THE POINT WHERE EVERYBODY'S UP PROBLEM.
I THINK THIS WILL IMPROVE THAT
[00:15:01]
A LOT.WELL, IT'S LIKE WE'RE LIKE THE OLD PHONE LINES USED TO BE, WE'VE GOT 'EM AND THEY WORK OKAY, BUT THEY'RE FULL OF WATER AND THEY GET KIND OF GARED SOMETIMES, SO WE'RE GONNA GET THE WATER OUT AND GET 'EM FIXED.
I I ALSO THINK IT IS A GREAT IDEA, SAID THAT THERE'S ABOUT $900,000 IN TAX MONEY COLLECTED YEAH.
THEY'RE USING ALL FOR GOOD PURPOSE AND WE'RE DISCUSSING WITH THE ONES IN MY PRECINCT, THEY REALLY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THOSE LAWS WERE.
POINT OUT TO THEM AND THEY'LL COMPLY WITH THOSE LAW.
BUT, YOU KNOW, LETTING THEM KNOW WHAT THEY, WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE WHERE GET THERE.
WELL, I RAN THROUGH, OR I READ THROUGH, UH, STEVE'S JOB DESCRIPTION AND IT REALLY DIDN'T HAVE A WHOLE LOT TO SELL ABOUT A SD, BUT IT'S GOT THAT CATCH LINE AT THE BOTTOM.
IT SAYS OTHER ASSIGNED DUTIES.
I THINK I WROTE THE JOB DESCRIPTION AND I'M SORRY, STEVE
ALRIGHT, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF ANYBODY OR STEVE? THANK YOU STEVE.
WE'LL NEED A MOTION TO, UH, MAKE A, I HAVE A MOTION FROM COMMISSIONER JACKSON TO SECOND APPOINT STEVE AND SECOND FROM COMMISSIONER CLARK.
ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN PAPER SAY AYE.
THE NEXT ITEM IS TO DISCUSS AND ACT ON THE LINE ITEM TRANSFERS FROM, UH, PAL JONES.
JUDGE, WE HAVE FOUR SMALL LINE ITEM TRANSFERS THAT I LEFT TO MY OFFICE.
OKAY, SO WHAT, LET'S DO NEXT TIME, YOU WANNA JUST TABLE THEM TO THE NEXT TIME PLEASE.
YOU CAN'T REMEMBER 'EM OFF THE TOP HERE.
I KNOW THE BIGGEST ONE WAS $500, SO I'M NOT REAL CONCERNED ABOUT 'EM.
LET'S TABLE THAT TO OUR NEXT MEETING ON, UH, FEBRUARY.
DO I HAVE A MOTION TO DO THAT? SO I HAVE A MOTION FOR MR. JACKSON AND SECOND FROM COMMISSIONER ROW.
ALL IN FAVOR IF YOU WOULD SAY? AYE.
THOSE OPPOSED? NEXT ITEM IS TO DISCUSS AND ACT ON CLAIMS FOR PAPER.
WE WON'T DO THAT BEFORE THE OH, THE AGENDA.
UH, THIS IS AN ITEM THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SOME TIME IN OUR COUNTY CONCERNING THE SECURITY, UH, VESTIBULE, UH, THAT'S LOCATED OVER IN FRONT OF THE COURTHOUSE.
THAT WAS CONSTRUCTED, WHAT, FOUR OR FIVE YEARS AGO? I'M NOT SURE.
AND SINCE THE TIME IT WAS CONSTRUCTED, WE HAVE HAD A, UH, THE COUNTY HAS HAD A DISCUSSION OFF AND ON DISCUSSION WITH THE TEXAS, UH, THE AUSTIN OFFICE OF THE TEXAS HISTORICAL COMMISSION, UH, BASICALLY TELLING US THAT IT DOES NOT COMPLY WITH, UH, THEIR REGULATIONS AND THAT IT NEEDS TO BE REMOVED FROM THE FRONT OF THE COURTHOUSE BECAUSE, UH, IT DOES NOT, UH, IT, IT OBSTRUCTS WHAT THE ORIGINAL FRONT OF THE COURTHOUSE COURTHOUSE LOOK LIKE.
AND SINCE THE COURTHOUSE IS NOW 50 PLUS YEARS OLD, IT DOES COME UNDER THEIR, UH, THEIR PURVIEW.
SO, UH, AGAIN, THIS, THIS IS SOMETHING WHERE I THINK PREVIOUS COURTS AND I KNOW JUDGE JENT AND UH, I KNOW THAT'S NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS BEEN DISCUSSED AROUND THIS TABLE.
SO I ASKED, UH, OUR, OUR STATE REPRESENTATIVE LANCE GOODEN TO UH, CHECK WITH THEM AND SEE IF WE COULD GET AN EXTENSION.
WE HAD ASKED FOR AN EXTENSION, I BELIEVE SOMETIME LAST FALL, SOMETIME IN SEPTEMBER OR OCTOBER, AND HAD NOT ACTUALLY HEARD BACK FROM THEM.
AND SO LANCE WAS ABLE TO MEET WITH THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE TEXAS HISTORICAL COMMISSION.
AND WHAT THEY HAVE AGREED TO DO, IF YOU SO APPROVE TONIGHT, IS TO GIVE US A FIVE YEAR EXTENSION ON, UH, REMOVING THAT VESTIBULE FROM THE FRONT OF THE COURTHOUSE SO THAT THE PROBLEM DOESN'T GO AWAY.
IT'S GOING TO HAVE TO BE REMOVED AT SOME POINT IN TIME UNLESS THE LAW CHANGES OR SOMETHING HAPPENS.
IT GIVES US A LITTLE MORE FLEXIBILITY.
AND THE REAL ISSUE IS WHERE WE PUT THE SECURITY VESTIBULE.
I MEAN, THERE'S NOT A GOOD PLACE TO PUT IT, UH, AT THIS POINT WITHOUT CHANGING THE OUTSIDE OF THE COURTHOUSE TO SOME DEGREE.
ANOTHER SOLUTION IS, IS TO MOVE THE FOUR COURTS OUT OF THE COURTHOUSE BUILDING SOMEPLACE ELSE.
WELL, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T HAVE A PLACE TO MOVE RIGHT NOW, SO IF YOU MOVE THE COURT ROOMS OUTTA THE COURTHOUSE, YOU WOULDN'T NEED THE SECURITY VEST TO DO IT ANYMORE.
BUT THAT'S, THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN, UH, UH, RIGHT AWAY AT LEAST.
AND SO, UH, THIS GIVES US SOME BREATHING ROOM AND, UH, I BELIEVE YOU HAVE A COPY OF THE LETTER FROM, UH, THE HISTORICAL COMMISSION.
AND THAT'S, THAT'S THE REASON THIS IS ON HERE.
UH, CONSIDERING WHERE WE ARE, UH, FINANCIALLY, IT JUST GIVES US A LITTLE MORE TIME TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WE CAN DO WITH THIS.
AND AGAIN, WE CAN'T JUST FORGET ABOUT IT AND BECAUSE IT'S, IT'S NOT GOING GO AWAY UNLESS, AGAIN, UNLESS SOMETHING HAPPENS
[00:20:01]
TO, CAUSES THAT, UH, TO OCCUR.SO ANYWAY, THAT'S, UH, ANY, ANYBODY HAVE ANY COMMENTS TO ADD, ADD TO THAT? THAT'S A BIG LOAD OFF OF OUR HEAD.
I THINK WE WERE ALWAYS WONDERING WHEN THE ACTIONS ARE GONNA FALL THERE AND WHAT WERE WE GONNA DO AND WHERE ARE WE GONNA PUT IT.
SO THIS WILL GIVE US A AMPLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO DECIDE WHAT TO DO.
SO I THINK THIS IS A GREAT THING FOR US.
UH, I'D LIKE TO, I'D LIKE TO PERSONALLY THANK, UH, REPRESENTATIVE GOOD FOR GETTING THIS DONE FOR US.
SO TIMING WAS PRETTY ACCURATE WHILE WE WERE DOWN THERE IN AUSTIN THAT WEEK, UH, TO GET THIS GOING.
BUT LIKE I SAID, I THINK WE DON'T NEED TO WAIT FIVE YEARS TO TRY TO GET ANOTHER EXTENSION.
OR TRY TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO, WE HAVE TO PURSUE SOMETHING AFTER WE FIND OUT WHAT YOU'RE GONNA DO WITH HISTORICAL COMMISSION THIS SESSION.
UH, I BELIEVE YOU SHOULD SEE HOW THAT DISCUSSION, THAT'S NOT OUR DISCUSSION.
THAT'S THE LEGISLATURE'S DISCUSSION.
AND THERE'S ALSO A DISCUSSION THAT IT MAY BE, UH, SOME OF ITS RESPONSIBILITIES MAY BE GIVEN TO ANOTHER STATE AGENCY, SO WHO KNOWS WHAT WILL, WHAT WILL HAPPEN.
BUT THEY, THEY DEFINITELY, THAT THAT ORGANIZATION COMMISSION, IT'S DEFINITELY UNDER REVIEW.
AND SO, UH, UH, ANYWAY, THAT'S, WE'LL JUST HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE HOW THAT HAPPENS.
WE COME UP WITH SOME KIND OF, YEAH, WE CAN'T JUST COME BACK FIVE YEARS FROM NOW AND SAY, WELL GIVE US ANOTHER EXTENSION.
I DON'T, WE'RE HAVE, DO SOMETHING.
I DON'T WHAT DO SOMETHING MEANS.
ACTUALLY I'D LIKE PURSUE THAT.
WELL, YEAH, I THINK GOOD LUCK ON THAT.
PROBABLY FIVE YEARS FROM NOW THEY'LL HAVE SOMEBODY, I THINK THE EXPENSE ON MOVING THAT'S THREE OR $400,000 OR MORE.
AND SO IT'S NOT, IT'S NOT JUST A, YOU KNOW, EASY TASK TO DO.
BUT WE HAVE, WE HAVE TWO ITEMS WE NEED TO DO.
ONE OF 'EM IS NUMBER NINE IS TO DISCUSS AND ACT ON APPROVING A RESOLUTION AND REPORT OF THE SECOND AMENDMENT TWO DEGREE BETWEEN THE THC AND TON COUNTY.
AND THEN THAT'S A RESOLUTION WE CAN PASS AND YOU HAVE A COPY OF THAT RESOLUTION.
AND THEN 10 WOULD BE TO DISCUSS AN ACT, UH, ON APPROVING A SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THC AND KAMAN COUNTY REGARDING THE FIVE YEAR EXTENSION.
SO FIRST ITEM IS NUMBER NINE, APPROVE RESOLUTION.
WE HAVE A MOTION FROM COMMISSIONER CLARK TO MOVE THE RE TO APPROVE THE RESOLUTION.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.
POST THEN THE NEXT ITEM IN THAT REGARD IS THE SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE AGREEMENT, WHICH ACTUALLY GIVES US THE FIVE YEAR EXTENSION.
COMMISSIONER JACKSON MAKES THE MOTION.
ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.
NOW HAL, IF YOU WANT TO HELP WITH A CLAIM FOR PAYMENT, WE'LL DO THAT.
Y'ALL MAY RECALL AT THE LAST MEETING I HAD TWO COPIES OF THE SAME.
NOW THIS IS THE ONE THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE HERE.
Y'ALL HAVE ALREADY SEEN THESE BILLS, BUT WE SEEN THE, WE HAVEN'T SEEN, BUT I DID BRING THE BILLS.
[00:27:59]
WHAT YOU,[00:30:14]
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, LET ME JUST TELL YOU WE ARE, ONLY THING WE'RE DOING NOW IS PAYING BILLS, CLAIMING OR APPROVING BILLS FOR PAYMENT.UH, THE MEETING WILL BE ADJOURNED JUST IN A FEW MOMENTS AFTER WE GET THROUGH.
IT TAKES A LITTLE TIME TO GO THROUGH THIS.
WE HAD A GREAT TURNOUT FOR OUR FIRST MEETING IN THE EVENING.
UH, APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE.
YOU'RE CERTAINLY WELCOME TO STAY AROUND AS LONG AS YOU WOULD LIKE.
OUR NEXT MEETING WILL BE ON, UH, MARCH THE 28TH IN THE MORNING AT NINE 30 HERE IN THIS VERY, UH, COURTROOM.

OR IF YOU WANT TO SIT HERE AND VISIT, YOU CAN DO THAT AS WELL.
BUT WE'VE GOT A FEW MORE MINUTES OF JUST, UH, APPROVING BILLS HERE AND THEN WE'LL BE, WE'LL BE COMPLETED WITH THE MEETING.
ALL THE AGENDA ITEMS HAVE BEEN COVERED.
SO AGAIN, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BEING HERE AND APPRECIATE YOUR PARTICIPATION IN COFFEE COUNTY.
GOVERNOR WAS A, HEY GU, DO YOU KNOW WHERE THE MACHINE IS? THEY HAVE THE DOOR, BUT YEAH.
[00:36:39]
PERMISSION TO DO THAT.[00:41:53]
THE SOFTWARE.[00:46:21]
OKAY.I REALLY LIKE WHERE YOU CAN PUT SOME STUFF OUT THERE.
WHAT'S YOUR TATTOO? THAT WAS THE FIRST ONE.
WE GOT TATTOOS AND THAT'S A GINI.
AND I JUST LIKED EVER I WAS, I WAS DATING THIS DID EVEN DESIGNED
[00:50:04]
SWEAR.MY SON WAS IN NAVY AT THE TIME AND I, THAT'S WHY I WAS, BUT UH, UH, HE, HE, HE, HE GOT HIS NAME THE BACK OF HIS SHOULDER, RIGHT? RIGHT BELOW THE NECK LINE SO IT COULD BE REAL WELL HID.
HE HAD THAT TALL STEPSON SPEAR.
OUR MEETING COMMISSION HAVE ALL GONE THROUGH THEIR BILL FOR PAYMENT.
I, UH, WE DO HAVE TWO SPECIAL GUESTS THAT I INTENDED ON THE
ONE IS COMMISSIONER MANNING'S WIFE.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO INTRODUCE YOUR WIFE? UH, I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE MY WIFE.
I PROMISED, I SAID, LET'S GO EAT SOMEPLACE.
SO I TOLD HER WHY GO? IS THE FOOD THAT GOOD IN HERE? WELL, WE'RE, WELL IT HADN'T BEEN LITTLE.
DOES SHE KNOW WE'RE GONNA STOP BY THE SONIC.
I ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO ADJOURN.
AND THEN DO A MOTION TO ADJOURN.
