[00:00:05]
I'D LIKE TO WELCOME EVERYONE TO THE AUGUST 27TH, 2012 MEETING OF CALL COUNTY COURT WILL CALL MEETING TO THE ORDER.
AND I ASK, UH, COMMISSIONER MANNING IF HE WOULD GIVE OUR INDICATION, WE'LL HAVE THE PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO, IF SOMEONE WISHES TO ADDRESS COURT CLAIM, UH, GO AHEAD AND FILL THOSE OUT AND GET THOSE TO US.
WE'LL HAVE REMARKS FROM ANY ISSUES RIGHT AFTER DUE TO PLEDGES.

THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THE MEANING.
I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE, MR. FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND LIBERTY REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INVIS WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE, HONOR, EX FLAG ALLEGIANCE TO BE TO EXUS.
WE'RE GLAD TO BE BACK, COMMISSIONER, I APPRECIATE YOUR, UH, PRAYER, MY HEALTH AND, UH, YOU SHOULD ALSO INCLUDE MENTAL HEALTH IN THAT TESTAMENT PRAYER AS WELL.
BUT I'M UP AND GLAD TO, GLAD TO BE BACK.
UH, WE DON'T HAVE ANY ROUTINE CORRESPONDENCE OF THE, UH, CONSENT AGENDA.
DID THE, UH, FIRST ITEM, UH, ON THE, UH, AGENDA TO TALK ABOUT, AND THAT IS THE ACCEPTANCE OF THE MEETING FROM AUGUST THE 13TH, AND THEN THE ACCEPTANCE OF THE ANNUAL AUDIT REPORT FOR ES DISTRICT NUMBER FIVE.
ANYBODY HAVE ANY, UH, QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ABOUT EITHER ONE, THOSE TWO? JACKSON, MR. MANNING? SECOND.
ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.
UH, NEXT ITEM IS LARRY ING OUR FIRE MARSHAL TO, UH, TALK TO US ABOUT THE, UH, EXTENDING THE COUNTYWIDE FIREARM FIRM.
UH, I THINK WE HAVE TO HAVE ONE MORE WEEK OR SO ON IT, BUT OUR AGENDA WAS GONNA FALL IN WRONG PLACE IF WE DIDN'T AT LEAST TALK ABOUT IT TODAY IS WHY I BROUGHT IT UP.
WE WENT AHEAD AND DID A POLL WITH ALL OF OUR DEPARTMENTS JUST FOR, AND I APOLOGIZE, I'VE BEEN OUT THIS MORNING, FIRE STATION, I'VE A CHANCE TO RUN BACK, BUT AT COUNT, DEPART DEPARTMENTS RESPONDED BACK AND JUST WITH A QUESTION, WE SAID, WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK RIGHT NOW? AND ALL 10 OF THEM UNANIMOUSLY THOUGHT THAT IF WE COULD LET IT DROP FOR A FEW WEEKS AND LET PEOPLE GET CAUGHT AND STUFF WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA.
SO THAT'S WHAT I'LL PRESENT TO YOU, THAT, YOU KNOW, IF YOU SEE FIT, WE COULD DROP IT TODAY AND THEN I'LL GETTING BACK ON THE AGENDA THEN IN TWO WEEKS TO, IN CASE WE'RE BACK AGAIN, WE CAN DISCUSS IT AGAIN AT THAT TIME.
I MEAN, THE DRIVING INDEX NUMBERS ARE DOWN RIGHT NOW, OF COURSE DOWN NEXT TWO WEEKS AND H THAT'S WHERE EVERYBODY'S AT.
AND IT'S YOUR DECISION AND OPEN FOR DISCUSSION.
I THINK THE REMAIN MOST CHANCES.
I THINK SO GUYS AT THE MAY BANK FIRE DEPARTMENT SAID TO TAKE, THEY WANTED TO DROP IT.
CALLED HIM ABOUT 30 MINUTES AGO.
WELL IT'S, IT'S STILL EXTREMELY DRY IN MIAMI END COUNTY.
I DROVE ABOUT 80 MILES YESTERDAY AFTERNOON AND IT'S REALLY DRY, UH, WAY I FELL OUT.
OUR BURN HAS BEEN VERY EFFECTIVE.
UH, AND PREVENTING ANY, ANY MAJOR FIRES.
UH, I HAVE, I HAVE SERIOUS RESERVATIONS ABOUT, UH, ABOUT DROPPING IT.
I REALIZE PEOPLE GOT A LOT OF, LOT OF TRASH BURN.
BOY, IT'S REALLY DRY IN THE COUNTY.
WE DIDN'T GET THAT RAIN YESTERDAY.
SO WHAT IS THE INDEX CLEARED? IT WAS IN THE 400, BUT HONESTLY, I APOLOGIZE, I DIDN'T
[00:05:01]
HAVE TIME TO GO BACK.CHECK SOMEWHERE IN THE, THE EXPIRED 30TH? NO, THE 7TH OF SEPTEMBER SEVENTH.
I THINK REGIONAL TODAY IS, WOULD EITHER BE LIKE THREE DAYS LATE OR OR LEAST IT TO THE 10TH REVISIT OR 30 DAYS OR WHATEVER EVERYBODY'S COMFORTABLE WITH.
BUT IF WE DIDN'T DO IT TODAY, IT WOULD EXPIRE AND WE'VE ABOUT A THREE DAY LAPSE THERE.
NOTHING IN BE THERE WANTED GET IT ON.
BUT IF WE WEREN'T UNDER THE FIRE, THE BURN BED RIGHT NOW, WERE THESE NUMBERS, WE WOULDN'T GO TO THE BURN PAD, WOULD WE? NO.
I SAY NO WE TO IT AND WE WEREN'T UNDER THE NUMBERS WHEN IT STARTED THIS YEAR.
IT'S JUST AS A KIND OF SOMETHING TO GUIDE YOU THROUGH.
DON'T HAVE TO REALLY GO ON THOSE.
SO, AND AND MAYBE IN TWO WEEKS WE MAY RIGHT BACK ANYWAY.
BUT THE CHANCE FROM THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS, THEY SAID EITHER DROP IT NOW OR LET IT EXPIRE.
BUT I DON'T AGREE WITH THE LETTING.
I THINK BY THEN YOU'LL EITHER REALLY WANT IT, YOU KNOW, OR EVERYTHING'S GREAT AND I ANTICIPATE BY THEN YOU'RE PROBABLY GONNA WANT IT BACK.
SO THE ONLY REASON THEY, I GUESS THEY'RE HAVING LOTS OF PHONE CALLS TOO.
PEOPLE BURN TRASH KNOW THEY'RE, YOU KNOW, I UNDERSTAND SIDES.
SO IF WE NOW WE COULD, WE COULD PUT IT BACK IN TWO WEEKS IF WEEKS.
IF THAT'S WHAT Y'ALL WANNA DO.
IT MAKES EVEN BIGGER, YOU KNOW, COULD, IT COULD MAKE A EVEN ER HAZARD.
BUT YOU SAID, I DON'T WANT TO JUMP OFF AND JUST RUN OFF BAT.
YOU SAID THE BAYBANK PEOPLE THOUGHT IT WAS OKAY TO YEAH, RICK, RICK, CHIEF MEYER SAID HE'D GO EITHER WAY, ANYBODY WANTED TO GO.
AND THAT'S KIND OF THE CONSENSUS.
I MEAN, THEY ALL SAID EITHER LIT IT, REMOVE IT TODAY OR LET IT EXPIRE.
BUT I THINK YOU THEN PROBABLY GONNA HAVE IT RIGHT BACK ON AGAIN.
SO I'M NOT SURE THAT WOULD BE AN AVENUE TO TAKE.
SO I GOT A WEEKEND COMING OUT ALSO.
YOU'LL BE ABLE TO, I JUST, I GOT SERIOUS RESERVATIONS THAT REMOVED.
UM, THERE NOT A MECHANISM, LARRY, WHERE YOU AND THE COUNTY JUDGE CAN DETERMINE WHETHER THAT COMES OR GOES OR YOU WANT TO.
HE, HE CAN CALL WHEREVER HE WANTS.
YEAH, YOU DON'T HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE NEXT MEETING.
BUT IF YOU TAKE, IF YOU'RE TAKING IT OFF AND PUTTING IT BACK ON, YOU'VE GOT SOME CONFUSIONS AND OF COURSE THERE'S NONE THE CITIZENS, BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE ANY NOTIFICATIONS.
SO WE TAKE IT OFF FOR A WEEK AND THEN PUT IT BACK ON FOR TWO WEEKS.
YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE FIRES GOING RIGHT ON INTO IT.
WHAT DO Y'ALL WANT? JUST GO AHEAD AND EXTEND IT THROUGH OUR NEXT MEETING.
SO WE'LL COVER THOSE THREE OR FOUR DAYS THAT WE WOULD'VE LOST AND THEN WE CAN REVIEW IT AGAIN ON WHATEVER THAT MEETING DATE CAN BE.
THE SEVENTH AND I BELIEVE NEXT.
SO WE LOST THREE DAYS IS REASON WHY I WAS HERE TODAY.
JUST SO WE COVER ONE WAY OR AND NOT HAVE THOSE THREE DAYS LOST, I THINK CARRY ON TO THE 10TH.
WE, BY THAT TIME, HOPEFULLY WE GET SOME RAIN.
MAYBE DON'T BE SO DRY DOWN THERE.
I THINK IT JUST GO, IT'S JUST A COUPLE MORE WEEKS.
YEAH, WE JUST NEED TO GO AHEAD, EXTEND OTHER THREE DAYS TODAY.
SO WE'RE COVERED THROUGH THE 10TH AND THEN I'LL GET ON AGENDA FOR THE 10TH AND WE TALK ABOUT IT AGAIN AT THAT POINT.
EXTENDED TO THE 10TH AT LEAST I MOTION.
WE HAVE A MOTION FROM COMMISSIONER JACKSON TO EXTEND THE, UH, BURN BAN COUNTYWIDE THROUGH THE, UH, 10TH AND THAT'LL BE OUR NEXT MEETING AND WE'LL MAKE A DECISION THEN MAYBE, UH, MAYBE WE'LL HAVE SOME WATER COME UP FROM THE GOLY.
ALRIGHT, WE HAVE A SECOND FROM, UH, COMMISSIONER MANNING.
ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR SAY I.
THOSE OPPOSED? ALRIGHT, BACK ON THE TEMP.
YOUR HONOR IS ITEM NUMBER FOUR, KATHY, TO GIVE US AN UPDATE ON HOW UH, PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT REPORT.
KATHY, GOOD TO HAVE YOU UP AND ABOUT
[00:10:04]
OKAY.FOR JULY WENT REALLY SLOW MONTH.
UM, AUGUST IS GONNA BE EVEN SLOWER IT LOOKS LIKE SO FAR.
FOR JULY WE HAD FOUR AEROBIC PERMITS.
TWO CONVENTIONAL VOL PRESSURE DOSING FOR A TOTAL OF 14 SEPTIC SYSTEM PERMITS.
AND BY PRECINCT PRECINCT ONE HAD THREE, TWO HAD ONE, THREE HAD SIX, AND PRECINCT FOUR HAD FOUR.
WE INVESTIGATED 125 COMPLAINTS.
AND WE ENDED UP FILING 69 CASES IN COURT FOR NONCOMPLIANCE FOR EITHER NOT RENEWING A MAINTENANCE CONTRACT OR NOT REPAIRING A MALFUNCTIONING SYSTEM AND ADDRESSES.
THERE WERE FOUR IN PRECINCT ONE, THREE IN PRECINCT TWO, 10 IN PRECINCT THREE AND NINE, PRECINCT FOUR FOR A TOTAL OF 26 AND GIS GEO CODE ACCURACY IS NOT ACCURATE.
THE REPORTS THAT THE COGS BEEN SAYING IS THE WAY IT WORKS IS THEY HAVE A REPLICATION OF OUR GIS DATA AND WHEN WE MAKE THE CORRECTIONS, IT GETS UPDATED TO THEIR REPLICATION.
AND APPARENTLY FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS, THEIR REPLICATION HAS NOT BEEN ACCEPTING OUR UPDATES AND OUR CORRECTIONS.
SO THIS DATA THAT YOU'RE SEEING IS NOT CORRECT.
IT'S ACTUALLY, THEY COMPLETELY BROKE THE REPLICATION AND RAN A REPORT LAST WEEK.
AND THESE PERCENTAGE POINTS ARE ALL IN THE, THE LOW NINETIES.
SO WHAT I'VE BEEN GIVING YOU THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS HAS NOT BEEN ACCURATE BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T KNOW THAT THEIR REPLICATION WAS NOT ACCEPTING OUR DATA AND THEY'RE IN THE PROCESS OF FIXING THAT.
IT'S BEEN A WEEK AND A HALF AND IT'S NOT BEEN FIXED.
SO
SOME OF 'EM ARE A LITTLE BIT HIGHER.
WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THE CITY OF KAUFMAN TRYING TO GET THE BATTERY ADJUSTMENTS DONE AND, AND PUT ERRORS IN THERE.
AND ROSS, WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THAT.
JUST WHENEVER THEY GET IT FIXED, WE'LL HAVE A MORE ACCURATE LOOK AND HAVE IT UP AT THE TOP WHERE IT TALKS ABOUT SYSTEM TYPE PERMITS.
YOU SHOW A TOTAL OF 14, IS THAT ACTUALLY 14 OR IS IT NINE? I, YOU KNOW, I, I'VE HAD THIS LITTLE, I'VE BEEN OUT
ALRIGHT, ANY QUESTIONS? ONE PERSON ONLY I PROBLEM I THINK T YEAH, DANIEL HAD CALLED TDO AND AS ANY STATE GOVERNMENT ENTITY, THEY CAN'T FIX IT FROM THE KAUFMAN OFFICE.
THEY HAD TO GET THEIR PEOPLE AND GO UP THE CHAIN AND EXTRA ONE TO GET AN ANSWER.
SO IT SOUNDED LIKE IT'S GONNA BE A LENGTHY WAY FOR US TO KNOW WHETHER OR NOT THAT WE'RE GONNA CHANGE IT.
WELL, WE HAD CONTACTED, MY CONCERN IS IN, IN THE CASE OF THE EMERGENCY, THEY GIVE ADDRESS FROM 3 0 9 MM-HMM
I WOULD, I WOULD HOPE NOT BECAUSE ESPECIALLY IF IT'S AN AMBULANCE.
THE EAST TEXAS EMS, THEY'VE GOT GPS AND ALL THE JAZZ STUFF AND, AND THEY'VE GOT I THINK, THE SAME DATA THAT WE'VE GOT AND I WOULD HOPE THAT THAT WOULD NOT BE THE CASE.
BUT OUR HANDS ARE TIED AS IT IT'S WAITING ON TAKES OUT TO MAKE A DECISION.
DOES COG EXPECT TO HAVE THIS GIS ACCURACY FIGURED DO THEY HAVE, DO THEY EXPECT TO HAVE IT FIXED IN THE NEXT SHORT PERIOD OR, UM, MATT FRANCIS IS, YEAH, MATT FRANCIS IS THE GIS PERSON THAT COG THAT IS IN CHARGE OF DOING THAT.
AND HE'S BEEN WORKING ON THIS STUDY FOR THE PAST WEEK AND A HALF AND STILL CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHERE THE COURT CAME.
SO, BUT THEY DO HAVE ANOTHER WAY OF, OF RUNNING THIS DATA.
THEY DON'T KNOW THAT IT'S AS ACCURATE AS IT THEY WOULD LIKE IT TO BE AND IT'S NOT THE SYSTEM THAT THEY USE.
BUT, UH, FOR THE, FOR THE NINE, THE NEW 9 1 1 GIS DISPATCHING THAT THEY WANT TO GO TO, THEY HAVE ASSURED US THAT WE ARE NOT GONNA BE LEFT OUT.
THAT WHEN WE GET EVERYTHING UP AND RUNNING AGAIN, GET TO THAT 97%, WE'LL JUST BE ADDED TO THE PROGRAM.
THE OTHER QUESTIONS, THE COMPLAINTS ON THE SUBJECT ACT LOOKED LIKE, UH, 50 59 FOLLOW UP, BUT THERE'S 69 CASES, RIGHT? 59 FOLLOW UP OR PHYSICAL FOLLOW UP THAT KEN HAS TO GO OUT AND DO ACTUALLY GO TO THE LOCATION.
THE WAY WE HAVE TO DO THIS IS IF WE GET A COMPLAINT THAT COMES IN IN JUNE, WE HAVE TO GIVE THEM 30 DAYS FOR A MALFUNCTIONING SYSTEM.
WE HAVE HAVE TO GIVE THEM 30 DAYS TO BECOME, COME INTO COMPLIANCE.
SO THAT MEANS THEY MAY NOT FILE ON UNTIL JULY.
SO THAT'S WHY THE NUMBERS DON'T EVER ADD UP THOUGH.
[00:15:01]
THAT 30 DAYS THAT GO TO ANOTHER MONTH.OR IF IT COMES IN THE MIDDLE OF JUNE AND THEY'RE 30 DAYS UP THE MIDDLE OF JULY MAIL ACTUALLY GET THE FILE UNTIL AUGUST.
UH, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? IF NOT, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO ACCEPT THE REPORT FROM COMMISSIONER MOTION WE SECOND.
ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.
NEXT WE'LL HEAR FROM BILL WIND, UH, TO, UH, DISCUSS THE, UH, AWARD OF THE ELMO WATER SUPPLY CORPORATION BLOCK GRANT WATERLINE PROJECT TO THE CONTRACTOR AND MAKING THE START DATE CLEARANCE.
BILL, THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE AND, UH, LOOKS LIKE YOU GOT SOME GOOD BIDS ON, ON YOUR WORK THAT YOU'VE GOT FIX START IN THERE.
AND, UM, LARRY PLEASED TO SAY THAT, UH, UH, HANDED OUT THE, UH, PCEQ UH, LETTER OF APPROVAL, WHICH, UH, THE, UH, UH, ITEM NUMBER THREE, BE ABLE TO, UH, THE PROJECT, PUT EVERYTHING IN A GREAT POSITION, UH, WITH THE, UH, TCE BLOCK GRANT AND WE'LL CONTRACT OFFICIALLY MET THE, UH, 50% OF GRAND VALUE.

WE HAVE A MOTION FROM COMMISSIONER CLARK.
ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.
THOSE NEXT ITEM I'D LIKE FOR YOU TO LOOK AT THE TWO ADDENDUM ITEMS THAT WE, UH, HAD THAT JACK HAS ON THE AGENDA.
UH, BELIEVE YOU HAVE AND I'D LIKE FORWARD ON THOSE.
AND JACK, IF YOU WANNA EXPLAIN, UH, THOSE TO US.
UH, THE FIRST ITEM ON THE, UH, A PAC FOR THE SECOND FLOOR OF THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE, UH, THAT IS, UH, PETER AND GEORGE POINTED OUT THAT WHEN THE BUILDING WAS BUILT, IT WAS NOT THE IDEA SOLUTION FOR THAT, THAT AREA.
UH, I THINK OVER TIME EQUIPMENT THROUGH THAT ROOM, UH, THE NEW SOFTWARE WAS ABOUT TO GET SERVER NEED TO UP RAMP UP THAT AC SYSTEM AT THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE.
AND ALTHOUGH IT'S AT THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT, IT'S NOT REALLY DOESN'T BOTHER RESPONSIBILITY PAYMENT COUNTY.
THAT'S JUST WHERE SOME DISCUSSION IN THE PAST I WANT BRING TO THE COURT, LET YOU GUYS DISCUSS THAT.
I'M NOT SURE WHETHER BELL DO WITH THIS BUDGET OR MAYBE NEXT BUDGET.
I THINK GEORGE HAS CONCERNS THAT OUT THAT THAT'S A ROOM UPSTAIRS THERE WHERE WE HAD NUMEROUS MEETINGS.
WELL THAT'S, NO, IT'S, IT'S UPSTAIRS TO THAT AREA, BUT IT'S NOT IN THAT NOT, NOT THAT SAME WHERE THAT SERVER ROOM IS.
IS THAT WHERE THE FILES ASKEW THAT NIGHT? WE WERE WRAPPED OUT SERVER.
YOU MEAN THERE'S ROOM IN THERE TO PUT ANOTHER SERVER IN THERE? I HEAR THERE IS BID ITEM.
I HAVE NO PROBLEM WARNING AWARDING THIS TO THE, UH, CURRENT VENDOR THAT WE HAVE A CONTRACT WITH SINCE UNDER $50,000.
UH, UH, I MAKE RECOMMENDATION TO KIND OF PROBLEM SOMEONE WARRANTY THAT ITEM.
DO WE HAVE A BID ON IT YET OR ARE YOU JUST PUTTING IT OUT? NO, THAT IS ACTUALLY THE PRICE BASED ON OUR CONTRACT.
WE HAD 3D THAT'S THE PRICE, WHICH IS WHAT, 26.
THAT'S KIND OF PENDING ANYTHING LEFT OVER THIS YEAR TO DO THAT.
LITTLE SHORT ON THE FER PROPERTY.
AND ONCE AGAIN, I, I WANT WAIT, THE COURT, I DON'T HAVE A, WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS THIS JUST A UPGRADING THE ONE THAT'S IN THERE.
IT'S PRETTY MUCH TAKEN EVERYTHING OUT.
YOU, THEY HAVE, THEY HAVE THAT AC PROBLEM IN THAT AREA AND MORE EQUIP ADD TO THAT
[00:25:01]
WONDER.WELL I WAS JUST WONDERING IF THAT'S SOMETHING MAYBE WE CAN WORK, UH, WITH ENCORE ON A REBATE, UH, ON WHENEVER WE UH, WE INTO THAT.
IT'S, WE GET SOME SOMEBODY MUST BE ONE DACA SYSTEMS. I'M SORRY, WOULD BE ANOTHER ONE.
I WORKED WELL AT THE, THEY I THINK AT THAT TIME, UH, THEY'RE LOOKING FOR RATING AND I BELIEVE THAT UNIT IS SO EFFICIENT THAT USE ANOTHER METHOD OTHER WE CHECK THAT WE CAN LOOK INTO THAT.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON ITEM NUMBER 16TH? TAKE A MOTION TO ACCEPT IF EVERYBODY'S OKAY WITH THAT.
I MOVE THAT WE REPLACE THE EQUIPMENT TO THE ONE THAT HAPPENS TO BE, WE HAVE A MOTION FOR COMMISSIONER CLARK.
SECOND FOR COMMISSIONER BROWN.
ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.
THOSE OPPOSED I NUMBER 17, IT'S TO DISCUSS AND CONSIDER ADVERTISING A BID FOR RADIO EQUIPMENT AND INSTALLATION EQUIPMENT FOR COLTON COUNTY SHERIFF DEPARTMENT, UH, GENERAL LAST WEEK, UH, WE MET WITH THE UH, UH, JUDGE AND SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT, UH, AND THE AUDITOR ON, UH, THIS IS SOME MORE IN ADDITION TO SOME ITEMS WHERE WE NEED TO GO MOVE FORWARD TO FOR THE MERRILL BANDING AT THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE.
AND UH, SO I THINK THERE'S LIKE FOUR REPEATERS EQUIPMENT THAT NEEDS TO BE PURCHASED AND I THINK ALL THIS BE DONE BEFORE JANUARY ONE.
AND I THINK THERE'S A DESIRE TO GET THIS ROLLING, AT LEAST THE EQUIPMENT BUDGET OUT.
WE'RE ON SEPTEMBER 20TH, 30 SEPTEMBER 20TH AT TWO O'CLOCK AND OPENED AT TWO 30 AT SOUTH CAMPUS.
AND THIS WILL GET US IN COMPLIANCE WITH P 25 REQUIREMENTS THAT WE HAVE ON JANUARY 1ST.
BELIEVE HAVE YOU MAY REMEMBER WE, UH, THAT ENTIRE PROJECT HERE WHILE BACK AND ACCESS BAND, IT'S WORKING AND THIS IS SOME MORE ITEMS TO GO WITH THAT GET IT ALL UP AND RUNNING SOME AREAS THAT ARE KIND OF WEAK OUT THERE.
THIS ALSO INCLUDE SOME, UH, DIGITAL.
SO WE'RE LOOKING, LOOKING TOWARD THE FUTURE.
WE GONNA BUY A THING THAT'S GONNA BE NON-DIGITAL, NOT BE ABLE TO USE IT DOWN THE ROAD.
I, I SAY STEVE SHAKE HIS HEAD UP I THINK, BUT MAYBE WHAT HE SHAKE HIS HEAD ABOUT, IT'S NOT SO MUCH GOING P 20 FIVE'S GONNA BE GOING THE DIGITAL.
IS THAT CORRECT? IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE, WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT IS NARROW BANDING NARROW.
IT DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE P 25 AT THIS POINT.
IT'S JUST MEETING THAT JANUARY 1ST DEADLINE FOR NARROW BANDING.
PROBABLY NOT TO THE, I THINK WHAT YOU KNOW, WE PROBABLY HAVE NOW IS, I GUESS STEVE PROBABLY ANSWER THAT IS WHEN WE HAVE TO GO DIGITAL THEN A LOT OF THE WILL NOT WORK.
AND WE'RE PROPOSING NOW WORKS BOTH DIGITAL AND SO WE WERE MADE TO GO DO THAT.
THAT'S THE GOAL HERE IS ONE ABOUT WON'T WORK FUTURE.
SO YOU AROUND TRY, FIND RECOMMENDATION EXTRA MONEY, HAVE SOME WORK DOWN THE ROAD.
BUT I THINK SOME SOMETIMES WE HAVE NOT DONE THAT.
DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING? YES SIR.
UH, THERE'S BEEN SOME CHANGES ON THE B 25 STUFF.
THE DEADLINE THAT EVERYBODY'S TALKED ABOUT IS NO LONGER IN THE STATE PLANS.
IT'S BEEN CHANGED TO UH, UH, ONE OF THOSE THAT THEY ADVISE YOU TO GET IT.
THERE'S NO REQUIREMENTS ANYMORE.
THOSE ARE NOT GIVING US ANY MONEY TO DO IT.
[00:30:01]
THE OTHER PART OF IT IS, IS SYSTEMS WILL QUALIFY IF THEY'RE UPGRADABLE TO P 25.AND IF WE GO TO A SYSTEM THAT IS UPGRADABLE, YOU'RE LOOKING AT 800 BUCKS A RADIO VERSUS THREE TO 4,000 RADIO.
SO IF WE GO SOMETHING THAT'S UPGRADABLE, WE CAN SAVE A LOT OF MONEY UNTIL THEY COME UP WITH A FEDERAL MANDATE OR SOMETHING DOWN THE ROAD AND THEN IT'S A, YOU KNOW, A SOFTWARE FIRMWARE UPGRADE TO GIVE US WHERE WE NEED TO BE IN SHORT TERM.
THAT'S GONNA SAVE US A LOT OF MONEY.
I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO, UH, ADVERTISE THE BID JACK QUESTION.
MR. MAN, ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

WELL I KNOW TALKING, UH, TO, UM, THE JP AT PRECINCT FOUR WHEN HE WAS DOWN AT THE SOUTH CAMPUS, HE WAS SAYING THAT, UH, PRECINCT THREE HAD TO GO TO LIKE FOUR INQUEST THAT WEEK.
I ALSO KNOW THE INTERDEPARTMENT TRANSFERS ARE A GENERAL WAY OF DOING IT, BUT I REALLY DON'T THINK THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.
I KNOW YOU HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT BECAUSE YOU WEREN'T HERE FOR THE BUDGET LAST TIME.
BUT TAKING MONEY OUTTA ONE BUDGET OVER HERE TO PAY FOR ANOTHER BUDGET OVER HERE SHOWS WE DIDN'T DO.
THE BUDGETING OVER HERE AND SEE, WE'RE NOT IN THAT CHECK.
WE'RE TAKING IT FROM INSURANCE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING IN THE DEPARTMENT.
YEAH, WE NEED TO BE AS ACTIVE AS WE CAN.
BUT AGAIN, A BUDGET IS ESTIMATE THINGS COME UP BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE ANY CONTROL.
WELL, AND YOU'VE GOT SMALL, SMALLER DEPARTMENTS THAT THEY HAVE NO IDEA.
SOMETHING MIGHT BE FIXING TO BREAK DOWN OR SOMETHING COME UP AND THEY JUST DON'T HAVE THE FUNDING AND YOU HAVE TO GO AND LOOK FOR THE OTHER FUNDS WITHIN THAT GENERAL FUND TO DO THAT.
YOU GOT THE, UH, SALARY INCREASE, 5,000 MM-HMM
I JUST SAID THAT WAS FOR MY NEW ASSISTANT THAT WE HAD TO HIRE.
