[00:10:01]
CHILD IN A, IN A CAR.AND, UH, THE, UH, THE SITUATION FOR, UH, UH, DEPUTY SLATER IS THAT HE WAS, UH, OFF DUTY, AS I UNDERSTAND IT, IN THE COLONY SHOCK, UH, WHEN HE BECAME ALERTED TO AN UNATTENDED CHILD IN THE CAR, SINCE HE IS OFTEN A FIRST RESPONDER, HE DETERMINED THAT THE CHILD NEEDED TO GET OUT AND HE DID.
HE GOT THE CHILD OUT OF THE CAR.
AND, UH, EVENTUALLY THE CHILD WAS TAKEN INTO, UH, UH, A MEDICAL CARE BY EMS AND THE CHILD IS ALL ALIVE.

AND NOW THEREFORE, WE, THE COMMISSIONER'S COURT OF KAUFMAN COUNTY, TAKE PLEASURE IN EXTENDING THIS EXPRESSION OF GRATITUDE TO MATTHEW SLATER, A DEDICATED OFFICER OF THE LAW.
WE, WE CERTAINLY DO APPRECIATE WHAT YOU, HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND.
NOW WE'LL GO BACK UP TO OUR REGULAR AGENDA.
I BELIEVE WE GO BACK TO REMARKS FROM VISITORS.
AND I HAVE, UH, A NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE ASKED TO, UH, SPEAK THIS MORNING, AND WE WILL GO IN THE ORDER THAT THEY, UH, SPEAK.
LET ME JUST, UH, REMIND EVERYBODY WHEN THE, UH, COURT IS IN SESSION.
SO THIS IS A COURTROOM AND WE EXPECT BEHAVIOR OF OUR PEOPLE THAT ADDRESS THE COURT AND ADDRESS THE PUBLIC, UH, TO BE THE DEMEANOR THAT WOULD BE IN A COURTROOM AS WELL.
AND SO, UH, I'LL, UH, I'M THE JUDGE AND SO I'LL CERTAINLY, UH, ASK YOU TO, UH, REMEMBER THAT, UH, WE WILL LIMIT THE, UH, UH, REMARKS TO THREE MINUTES IF YOU WISH TO SHARE YOUR TIME WITH SOMEONE ELSE.
THAT'S FIRST, UH, THAT'S CERTAINLY PERMISSIBLE.

UH, I'LL ASK MONIQUE AND OUR CLERK REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE COUNTY CLERK'S OFFICE TO BE THE TIMEKEEPER, AND IF YOU'LL GIVE THEM MAYBE A 15 SECOND NOTICE WHEN THEIR TIME ALMOST UP NEED HELP AS WELL.
SO ANYWAY, WE DO APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE TODAY.
THIS IS A DEMOCRACY AND THIS IS HOW A DEMOCRACY WORKS.
THAT'S THE OLD HIGH SCHOOL GOVERNMENT TEACHER COMING OUT.
AND SO I CAN'T HELP TO PASS THAT ALONG.
BUT WE'LL BEGIN FIRST THIS MORNING WITH, UH, JAMES FULLER.
AND, UH, MR. FULLER IS FROM COUNTY ROAD 3 46.
MR. FULLER, IF YOU'D COME UP TO THE, UH, UH, MICROPHONE HERE AND, UH, TRY TO TALK AS LOUD AS YOU CAN.
SO EVERY, CAN EVERYBODY HEAR IN THE BACK OF THE ROOM OR IS EVERYBODY OKAY? OKAY.
[00:15:01]
A FEW TO COURT.WE, UH, MY CONCERN, SIX AND HORRIBLE HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS THAT CURRENTLY EXIST OUT THERE DUE TO THE DUST, CONSTANT DUST CLOUDS.
WE HAVE CONTACTED OUR COUNTY COMMISSIONER NUMEROUS TIMES CONCERNING THIS SERIAL PROBLEM.
UH, AND IT'S ALWAYS BEEN A RABBIT CHASE, SO TO SPEAK, WITH NOT GETTING ANY KIND OF AN ANSWER.
WE'RE NOT ASKING FOR CONCRETE, WE'RE NOT ASKING FOR ASPHALT, WE'RE NOT LOOKING FOR CHIP SEAL, WE'RE ASKING FOR WATER TROUBLE.
WHAT WE, WHAT WE NEED WHEN WE NEED IT IMMEDIATELY, WE NEEDED IT NEARLY A YEAR AGO.
OUR COUNTY ROAD, MY WIFE AND I LIVED 11 600 COUNTY ROAD 3 46.
UH, THIS ROAD HAS MULTIPLE CURVES INVOLVED INTO IT.
IT HAS BLIND CORNERS THAT HAS BEEN BROUGHT UP WITH OUR COMMISSIONER, LETTING HIM KNOW THAT WE VERY WELL TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT, SOMEONE CAN GET HURT NOT ONLY BECAUSE OF THE BLIND CORNERS, UH, AND THE CURVES IN THE ROAD, BUT THIS ENORMOUS DUST CLOUD THAT IS CONTINUOUS.
NOW, ONE MIGHT SAY, UH, SLOW DOWN, PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT YOU'RE GOING, THERE WON'T BE AN ACCIDENT.
YOU GOT A TRUCK IN FIRE WITH A MASSIVE AMOUNT OF DUST, THEN YOU HAVE ONE CUT AT YOU.
YOU'RE COMPLETELY BLIND IF YOU DECIDE TO STOP UNTIL THINGS CLEAR THE TRUCK BEHIND THE, THAT 60 TO 80,000 POUND LOCK TRUCK BEHIND THE CREAM.
THE PROBLEM WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, THERE'S NOT A PROBLEM WITH SPEEDING.
MOST OF THESE TRUCKS DRIVE WELL WITH ANY SPEED LIMIT THAT'S OUT THERE.
BUT WHEN A CITIZEN IS IN A SMALL AUTOMOBILE OR AN AVERAGE SIZE AUTO BILL AND YOU'RE CRANE TO BUY A 60 TO 80,000 POUND LOCK UP, SOMEONE CAN GET HURT IMPOSSIBLY KILLED.
IF IT WAS A, IF IT WAS A FIRE OUT IN THAT AREA AND THERE WAS A LOT OF SMOKE GO THROUGH, BE SHUT DOWN, IT WOULDN'T EVEN BE ALLOWED.
BUT YET, UH, OUR COMMISSIONER CONTINUES TO ALLOW THIS SITUATION TO EXIST.
AND WHEN WE DISCUSS IT, HE WANTS TO TALK ABOUT EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD EXCEPT FOR THAT WATER TRUCK.
NOW, BUDGET HAD BEEN BROUGHT UP SEVERAL TIMES, DOESN'T HAVE THE MONEY PAY THAT WATER, NUMBER ONE, UH, THE ROCK 40 DOWN THERE, $3,500 A MONTH TO HELP PAY FOR THAT MONTHS AGO, THEY'VE CURRENTLY THOUSAND DOLLARS A MONTH TO HELP PAY THAT.
UH, THERE AGAIN, WE HEAR THAT WE HAVE A BUDGET PROBLEM, BUT SOMEHOW OR ANOTHER, OUR COMMISSIONERS MANAGED TO FIND OVER $80,000 WITH SALARY INCREASES AND VERY MUCH, MR. THANK YOU SIR.
UH, I FAIL TO SAY, I THINK IF YOU ON SCALE, THE COMMISSIONER ARE NOT, SINCE THESE ITEMS ARE NOT ON THE AGENDA, UH, CANNOT RESPOND TO YOUR COMMENTS OR YOUR QUESTIONS, UH, CERTAINLY YOU'RE FREE TO CONTACT ANY OF US WHEN THE COURT IS NOT IN SESSION.
IF IT'S ON THE AGENDA, YOU ARE ALWAYS WELCOME TO, UH, TO, TO VISIT ABOUT IT AND, UH, UH, BUT I JUST WANTED TO MAKE, MAKE EVERYBODY AWARE OF THAT AS WELL.
UH, WHO, UH, LIVES IN, UH, WILLS POINT.
UH, WELL, DAVID, LET ME, UH, YOU'RE ON THE AGENDA HERE, JUST A FEW MOMENTS ON ITEM NUMBER FOUR.
LEMME GO AHEAD AND HEAR THESE OTHERS BEFORE I HEAR YOU BECAUSE WE'RE, YOU'RE ACTUALLY ON THE AGENDA AND YOU'LL LOOK FIT IN AND I HOPE THE OTHER FOLKS GETS TO LISTEN TO WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY HERE A LITTLE BIT.
UH, NEXT I'M SORRY IS MIKE CRAWFORD, UH, WHO LIVES ON COUNTY ROAD 2 79.
AND, UH, MR. CR IS HERE TO TALK TO US ABOUT PROPERTY DAMAGE.
MR. CRAWFORD, IF YOU STEP UP TO THE MICROPHONE AS WELL AND SPEAK UP, YOU MAY WANNA MOVE TO THE MICROPHONE A LITTLE CLOSER TO YOU.
I'D LIKE TO FIRST MAKE SURE THIS IS ON THE INTENDED FOR NEXT TIME FOLLOW UP.
YOU LET ME, LET ME GIVE YOU THE PROCEDURE FOR THAT.
UH, THE WAY TO GET SOMETHING ON THE AGENDA WOULD BE TO GO THROUGH YOUR ELECTED OFFICIAL AND, UH, THAT WOULD BE YOUR COMMISSIONER OR YOU OR ANY OF YOUR COMMISSIONERS FOR THAT MATTER.
BUT TYPICALLY IT WOULD GO THROUGH THE OFFICIAL THAT REPRESENTS YOU, UH, OR ONE OF THE OTHER COMMISSIONERS OR MYSELF.
AND SO, UH, AFTER THE MEETING, IF YOU'D LIKE, UH, YOU CAN CERTAINLY REQUEST THAT AND WE WOULD, UH, UH, BE ABLE TO HAVE IT ON THE AGENDA.
AT OUR NEXT REGULAR MEETING, WE MEET THE SECOND OR FOURTH MONDAY SPEECH, UH, AND THIS TIME STARTS NOW, SO THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER THE 17TH, UH, FOR THE CONTRACTOR OUT ADJOINING
[00:20:01]
MY PROPERTY, INSTALLING A POLE.ABOUT AROUND THREE O'CLOCK, YEAH, AROUND THREE O'CLOCK.
MY WIFE HAD SENT ME A PHOTO, UH, BY TEXT AND A PHOTO SHOWED THAT THIS CONTRACTOR HAD CAME OVER ABOUT AN APPROXIMATELY 70 FEET ONTO MY PROPERTY IN MY DITCH AND UP THE SIDE OF, ON TOP OF THE DITCH.
I CALLED THE COUNTY, UH, OUT HERE IN TALK TO LADY BY THE NAME OF DIANE AND WANTED TO GO THROUGH THE PERMIT POOL SO I COULD FIND OUT WHO WAS HAD CAUSED THE DAMAGE TO MY PROPERTY.
SHE TOLD ME THAT THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A PERMIT POOL AS FAR AS SHE KNEW, AND THAT I PROBABLY NEEDED TO CALL, UH, THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT OR WHATEVER.
I SAID, OKAY, WELL, I CALLED HER BACK IN A FEW MINUTES AND SAID, ARE YOU POSITIVE THIS? SHE SAID, I'M PRETTY SURE, BUT I'M GONNA GIVE YOU A PHONE NUMBER.
PRECINCT ONE TALKED TO A LADY BY THE NAME OF CINDY.
THE LADY THERE WAS VERY HELPFUL, VERY NICE, BUT ASSURED ME THAT THEY SHOULDN'T, NOBODY SHOULD NOBODY BE OUT THERE WORKING WITHOUT A PERMIT OR SOMEBODY KNOWING ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON.
AND THAT SHE ASSURED ME THAT THEY, THE COUNTY WAS NOT, WAS NOT RESPONSIBLE, IT WAS NOT OUT THERE WORKING.
SHE ENCOURAGED ME TO CALM DOWN AND ASKED ME IF I WOULD SEND HER THIS PICTURE BY EMAIL.
AND WHEN I CALLED HER BACK, SHE, THERE WAS ANOTHER GENTLEMAN, I DON'T KNOW WHO IT WAS, BUT YOU CAN HEAR HIM OVER SPEAKER PHONE, CONFERENCE CALL, WHATEVER HIS STATEMENT WAS, THAT HE WOULD BE UPSET AS WELL.
AND AGAIN, SHE ASSURED ME THAT, TOLD ME TO CALM DOWN AND ASSURED THAT SHE WOULD GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THAT, THE COUNTY.
THAT PERSON WOULD GET TO THE BOTTOM OF, FIND OUT WHO DONE THIS AND GET IT STRAIGHTENED OUT.
WELL, THAT MADE ME FEEL A LITTLE BETTER.
SO I HUNG UP, CALMED DOWN, LET IT REST.
AT SEVEN MINUTES TILL THEY CLOSED 15 4 53, SHE CALLED.
SHE CALLED ME BACK AND TOLD ME I NEEDED TO LET IT GO.
THAT THE COMMISSIONER IN THAT PRECINCT WAS QUITE AWARE OF WHAT WAS GOING ON.
THE NEXT, THE NEXT PERSON IS SYLVIA CRAWFORD, WHO ALSO LIVES ON TWO, UH, 79 AND WISHES TO ADDRESS, I WOULD LIKE TO DEFER MY TIME TO MR. CRAWFORD.
SO YOU, YOU A THREE TIME, TWO TO THREE MINUTES TO MR. CRAWFORD.
OKAY, LET, LET GO DO THIS WE'LL BACK SO WE DON'T GET, UH, YOU MAY PROCEED IT AGAIN AT 4 53, SHE SAID THAT SHE, UH, THAT THE COMMISSION WAS QUITE AWARE OF WHAT WAS GOING ON THAT DAY.
I HAVE A NEIGHBOR UP THE ROAD THAT I KNEW WHO OWNED THE PROPERTY, JOINED THAT EVENING AND ADJOIN ME.
I WENT TO HIS HOUSE AND ASKED FOR A PHONE NUMBER TO THE PROPERTY OWNER WHILE I WAS THERE.
UM, MY NEIGHBOR LET ME KNOW THAT IT WAS A COMMISSIONER'S COMPANY THAT WAS DOING THE WORK OUT THERE.
AND I LET THEM KNOW I DIDN'T CARE WHO IT WAS THAT THEY DAMAGED MY PROPERTY.
HE SAID HE'D HAVE THE OWNER CALL ME.
THE OWNER CALLED ME, BASICALLY APOLOGIZED.
HE SAID HE'D HAVE THE PERMISSION TO CALL ME, LEMME STEP BACK.
AND CINDY AT PRECINCT ONE TOLD ME I SHOULD CALL THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT.
SO IN THE MEANTIME, I CALLED THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT AND OFFICER ESPINOZA CAME OUT, TOOK PICTURES.
I CALLED HIM THAT IF IT WAS TRESPASSING, I WANTED HIM ARRESTED.
IN THE MEANTIME, WHILE OFFICER ZA WAS THERE, MR. ZA CALLED ME ON THE TELEPHONE, TOLD ME HIS NAME AND WAS THE COMMISSION, AND EXPLAINED TO ME THAT HE HAD A RIGHT THERE.
COUNTY HAD A RIGHT OF WAY TO WORK ON THAT, THE DITCH AND THE ROAD.
THROUGH THAT RIGHT OF WAY, I EXPLAINED TO HIM THAT THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH THAT DITCH BEFORE THAT THEY PUT THAT CULVER IN THE COUNTER IT FOR THEIR BENEFIT SO THEY WOULDN'T HAVE A HUMP IN THE DRIVE.
HE SAID HE DIDN'T SEE ANY PROBLEMS WITH WHAT HE'D DONE, BUT HE WOULD TAKE A LOOK AT IT.
BUT HE WAS VERY RUDE AND VERY ARROGANT.
[00:25:01]
THE SHERIFF, THE DEPUTY WAS OUT, SAID HE WAS GONNA SEE WHAT HE COULD DO.SO HE GOT BACK IN HIS CAR AND HE GOT FOR A FEW MINUTES, HE GOT BACK OUT, SAID THAT, UH, THIS WOULD BE A CIVIL MATTER.
SO THE NEXT MORNING FRIDAY, I WENT BACK TO THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT AND I ASKED THEM WHY THIS WAS NOT CONSIDERED TRESPASSING.
THERE WAS NO PERMANENT SUCH OR SUCH.
THEY SAID THEY WERE WORKING ON IT.
SAID, OKAY, I LEFT SATURDAY, THE SEPTEMBER THE 19TH, MR. AL WAS ON THE PROPERTY AND ONLY MINE WORKING.
I WANTED TO WALK OVER TO SPEAK TO HIM, BUT I THOUGHT I'M, I'M PROBABLY NOT BEST NOT TO GO OVER THERE.
SO I WAITED AS HE WAS LEAVING, WALKED TO THE CORNER OF MY PROPERTY AND AS HE WAS LEAVING, HE SEEN ME.
SO HE, HE GOT OUT, INTRODUCED HIMSELF, JIMMY
I ASKED HIM WHAT HE WAS GONNA DO TO FIX MY PROPERTY.
SAID HE DIDN'T SEE A PROBLEM WITH IT.
I TOLD HIM THAT HE WAS VERY ARROGANT ON THE PHONE THE DAY BEFORE.
HE SAID THE REASON WAS BECAUSE I HAD ACCUSED HIM OF, UH, OR MADE ACCUSATIONS THAT HE WAS DOING SOMETHING ILLEGAL.
UH, MY COMMENT TO THAT WAS IS THAT AS FAR AS I WAS CONCERNED, IT WAS ILLEGAL BECAUSE HE WAS TRESPASSING.
HE DID ADMIT COUNTER SEEKING THE CULPRIT SO THERE WOULDN'T BE A HUMP IN THE GUY'S DRIVE.
I TOLD HIM THAT HE WOULD'VE TALKED TO ME, THAT MAYBE WE WOULD'VE WORKED SOMETHING OUT.
IT WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN A PROBLEM.
HE TOLD ME, HE TOLD ME THAT HE DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO KNOCK ON PEOPLE'S DOOR AND ASK THEM FOR PERMISSION THAT HE HAD A RIGHT AWAY.
HE ACTUALLY TOLD ME HE SHOULD HAVE CHARGED ME, WHICH GOT ME VERY UPSET.
KNOCK ON THAT COMMENT TO THAT IS WE'LL FIGURE OUT WHETHER THIS WAS TRESPASSING OR NOT AND I DON'T WANT HIM BACK ON MY PROPERTY.
I JUST PRUDENT WITH THE TIME THAT WAS YIELDED BY MS. CRAWFORD.
ARE WE INTO THE SECOND? YES SIR.
TWO MINUTES LATER, LET ME AND HOLD ON TO WHERE WE ARE.
SO THE NEXT TIME, JUST TO MAKE SURE WE'RE HIT THIS ALL DOWN IS OUR PART OF OUR MINUTES.
UH, THE NEXT PERSON IS JOHN BARNES, WHO, UH, LIVES ON 9 87, I BELIEVE, AND ALSO TALKING ABOUT PROPERTY DAMAGE.
UH, LIKELY DEFER TO MY PROPERTY.
SO HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU HAVE? DOES HE HAVE LEFT? SECOND.
AS SOON AS HE GETS THROUGH THIS, WHEN HE MADE A COMMENT AS FAR AS CHARGING, I ASKED HIM, I SAID, DO YOU, ARE YOU TELLING ME AS A PRIVATE CONTRACTOR THAT IF YOU'RE GONNA CHARGE ME AND AS A COMMISSIONER? HE SAID BOTH.
THAT'S WHEN I SAID, I'LL SEE IN COMMISSIONER'S COURT.
HE SAID, I'LL BE THERE, MICHAEL.
I AFTERWARDS, I CALLED RAYMOND FEDRICK THE MAYOR, NO POST OAK BENCH.
THROUGH MY INVESTIGATION, I FOUND OUT THAT THE CITY OF POST OAK BIN HAS THE RIGHT OF WAY OF THAT ROAD AND THAT DITCH, BRANDON BEDRICK TOLD ME THAT THEY DID NOT REQUIRE A PERMIT.
BUT, BUT ANYTHING THAT WAS DONE ON MY PROPERTY, HE WOULD'VE HAD TO PAY, FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, HE WOULD'VE HAD TO PAY THE COM.
THE PRIVATE CONTRACTOR, I GET CONFUSED BECAUSE HE WEARS SO MANY HAT.
I DON'T KNOW IF I'M TALKING TO A PRIVATE CONTRACTOR OR I'M TALKING TO A COMMISSIONER, TALKING TO RAYMOND BEDRICK.
HE, HE'S LIKE, AGAIN, HE SAID HE DIDN'T HAVE TO HAVE A PERMANENT BUT TO BE OVER ON MY PROPERTY, HE WOULD HAVE TO HAVE SOME TYPE OF CONTRACT 'CAUSE HE WOULD HAVE HAVE GOTTEN PAID BY THE CITY.
SO THEREFORE HE HAD NO RIGHT TO BE ON MY PROPERTY.
SO THEREFORE, TO ME, WHAT I'M GETTING OUTTA THIS IS IT IS TRESPASSING AND IT IS DAMAGING MY PROPERTY.
IF, IF THIS GENTLEMAN'S WORKER EMPLOYEE GOES ON TO MY PROPERTY WITHOUT A CONTRACT FROM THE CITY OR THE COUNTY, THE TIME.
[00:30:01]
HOLD ON JUST A SECOND.THE NEXT PERSON IS, UH, TERRY CROW.
UH, WHO LIVES ON FM 4 29? UH, MR. CROW, DO YOU? YES, I'D LIKE TO DEFER MY TIME TO MIKE CROW.
IF HE OR ONE OF HIS EMPLOYEES OR SUBCONTRACTORS, FIRST OF ALL, I DON'T KNOW IF THEY HAVE INSURANCE OR NOT.
I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH INSURANCE THEY HAVE.
IF ONE OF THOSE GUYS GO OUT THERE AND JUST SAY THEY FLIP THE TRACTOR OVER AND GET KILLED, THEY DAMAGE SOME PROPERTY.
BUT MAIN THING, THEY GET HURT, GET KILLED.
ARE THEY GONNA SUE ME? ARE THEY GONNA SUE THE COUNTY? THEY'RE GONNA SUE THE CITY.
IS THERE A CONTRACT IN PLACE? IS THERE INSURANCE IN PLACE? I DON'T KNOW.
DOESN'T THE COMMISSIONER HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO GO OUTSIDE THE LAWS OR WHATEVER MAY BE IN PLACE TO DO THESE THINGS? WHERE DOES IT STOP? HOW MANY HATS DID HE WEAR? I ASKED HIM TO DO THAT DAY.
I SAID, WHO INSPECTS YOUR WORK? HE SAID, WELL, HERE'S THE CITY.
HE SAID, YOU LEMME BACK UP ON, I SAID, SO YOU DO SO IN PRECINCT ONE AS A PRIVATE CONTRACTOR, HE GOES OUT AND DOES HIS WORK.
HE SAID, CULBERT, WHAT HAVE YOU.
WHO'S INSPECTING HIM TO THE EVACUATION? IS THERE ANOTHER QUESTION? DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING.
WHO'S LIABLE? WHO'S LIABLE FOR DAMAGE? I MEAN, YOU WALK OUT WITH A CONTRACTOR'S HAD IT ON YOU CAUSE DAMAGE.
SOMEBODY YOU TAKE IT OFF THE COMMISSION.
IS THAT WAY IT WORK? I I DON'T KNOW WHO INVESTIGATES WHO, WHO, WHO DOES THE INVESTIGATION ON STUFF LIKE THIS? IS IT TALKING COUNTY SHERIFF CATCHES RAYMOND? I MEAN, I, WHO, WHO DOES IT? WITH ALL DUE RESPECT TO THE COURT, I JUST, I I GOT SOME DAMAGED PROPERTY.
I AM UPSET AND I DON'T THINK THAT ME OR ANY, NO OFFENSE OR JUDGE OR A COMMISSIONER WHEN WE'RE WE HAVE AN ISSUE, I DON'T THINK IT SHOULD BE UP TO THAT PERSON TO SAY, WELL, THEY'RE RIGHT OR WRONG.
SOMEBODY HAS TO STAND UP TO GET INVOLVED.
HE STILL HAS THREE MINUTES FROM, HE WAS USING THAT GENTLEMAN'S THREE MINUTES, BUT HE STILL HAS THREE MINUTES ON THE GENTLEMAN OF RED.
OKAY, SO WAIT, YOU DIDN'T STOP THE, I THOUGHT THAT MR. CROW, I THOUGHT THAT TO.
HE DID, BUT WE YOU MADE ME STOP.
HE HAD THE, YOU MADE ME STOP AFTER THE, TO KEEP THE TIME SEPARATE.
ALRIGHT, LAST THE GENTLEMAN READ THIS.
CONFUSED IT IS THE LAST PERSON I HAVE THAT SIGNED UP IS JIM DI YES.
MR. ARD, DO YOU YOU WISH TO SPEAK? I'D JUST LIKE TO RELINQUISH MY THREE MINUTES.
I'LL JUST KNOCK IT OUT FOR THIS FORWARD.
IF IT IS TRESPASS, WHAT IS THE RIGHTS OF THIS COMMISSION SHOULD, IF THEY NOT BEEN A CONTRACT, TO PROTECT THE CITY, PROTECT ME AS A LANDOWNER AND TO PROTECT THE COUNTY.
AND HOW, HOW AS A COMMISSIONER CAN YOU SAY HE WAS CHARGE CHARGED FROM WHAT UNDERSTANDING WOULD BE PAYING FOR? BECAUSE WOULD BE, FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, THERE WOULD BE A CONTRACTOR AND THAT CITY WOULD PAY YOU, WHICH THERE WAS NEVER AN ISSUE OR PROBLEM WITH OUR DITCH CITY.
WE WERE ABLE TO ALL GET TO MAINTAIN FLOW WATER UP UNTIL YOU DECIDED THE COUNTER SEAT.
A CULVERT THAT ON MY PROPERTY WOULD'VE BEEN OKAY IF THERE BEEN SEND PROPERTY.
YOU COULDN'T WHAT YOU, WHEN YOU'RE JOINING MY PROPERTY, YOU COUNTER SEAT BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO.
I SHOT THE, AND IT IS COUNTER, BUT I JUST WANT, I'LL, I'D LIKE TO GET SOME ANSWERS ON THIS AND UH, LIKE I SAID, I'LL TAKE CARE OF MY PROPERTY.
[00:35:02]
THIS IS MY PROPERTY AND THEN I'LL BE IN CONTACT.IS ANYONE THAT SIGNED UP OTHER THAN THE MR. CARROLL FROM GOSPEL FOR ASIA THAT DID NOT HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK OR GIVE THEIR TIME TO MR. CRAWFORD? IS THERE ANYONE? I DON'T WANT LEAVE ANYBODY OUT.
AND IF I, IF A MISTAKE, THAT'S MY MISTAKE.
I BELIEVE EVERYBODY THAT I HAVE HERE TOLD.
SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS AND UH, WE'LL MOVE NOW INTO NUMBER FOUR AND THAT WILL BE TO HEAR FROM, UH, DAVID CARROLL.

THIS IS FOR THE NOVEMBER AMENDMENT ELECTION WOULD BE FOR ANY OF NEXT YEAR, RIGHT.
OKAY, GENTLEMEN, PLEASE MOTION, PLEASE HAVE A MOTION FROM COMMISSIONER ALLEN.
DO WE HAVE A SECOND? COMMISSIONER PHILLIPS.

SO WE JUST, WE JUST, WE COVERED THAT PART
WHAT'S YOUR PLEASURE? MOTION ACCEPT COMMISSIONER MOTION.
ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL FAIR TO SAY.
NEXT WILL BE NUMBER SEVEN, OUR TREASURER TO PRESENT THE, UH, MONTHLY TREASURERS REPORT.
I BELIEVE I GAVE YOU COPIES OF THAT.
GUESS OUR GENERAL FUND HAD A BEGINNING BALANCE OF 6 MILLION 3 12 1 24 POINT 58.
WE HAD RECEIPTS OF 1,000,039 96 CENTS.
WE HAD DISBURSEMENTS OF 3 MILLION 1 69 3 9 4 50 WITH AN ENDING VIOLENCE OF 4 MILLION 180 1 7 48 4.
THERE ARE, UM, A COUPLE OF DOLLARS, UH, HELD AT TEXTUAL TO KEEP A COUPLE OF ACCOUNTS OPEN.
OTHERWISE, ALL OF THIS MONEY IS IN AMERICAN NATIONAL BANK.
AND YOU CAN SEE OUR INTEREST EARNED FROM OUR BANK ACCOUNTS ON THE LOWER LEFT HAND SIDE IS 10,000 9 74.
I'D LIKE TO CONTINUE AND POINT YOUR ATTENTION TO PAGE TWO OF YOUR PACKET ON THE UPPER RIGHTHAND CORNER ENDING BALANCES, BEGINNING WITH THE FIFTH LINE DOWN, 253 45 0.93,
[00:50:02]
UH, THROUGH THE NINTH LINE DOWN 7 0 5 2 73 4.UH, THOSE ACCOUNTS WERE ALL LABELED AS OUR, UM, NORTHERN BRIDGE AND OUR PRECINCT ACCOUNTS, AND THERE'S APPROXIMATELY 3.6 MILLION THERE.
AND LASTLY, YOU KNOW, OUR, OUR TOTAL POOL OF CASH IN WHAT IS RUN AS THE, UH, GENERAL FUND AT THE BANK IS 11 MILLION 5 12 8 17, AND ON PAGE SEPARATE BANK THAT THE COUNTY MAINTAIN.

[00:55:01]
YOU'LL SEE AS WE GO INTO THE REST OF THIS CALENDAR HERE, YOU'LL SEE WE'VE GOT ONE OTHER SIMILAR PROCESS THAT WE'RE GOING TO ENTER INTO.AND I THINK ONCE WE START TO SEE THESE PROCESSES, THERE WILL BE OTHER THINGS THAT COME TO LIGHT THAT WE WILL NEED TO GET ON A, UM, TASK Q TO PERIODICALLY, UM, LOCATE ITEMS THAT NEED TO BE, UH, OTHER QUESTIONS THEY STARTED, SIR? WELL, AND AGAIN, IT JUST TIME SLOT.

AND THAT IS IN REGARDS, UH, TO A GRIEVANCE THAT JUDGE ADAMS HAS, HAS FILED.
THERE ARE SPECIFIC RULES THAT GO ALONG WITH THAT.
AND UH, THE COMMITTEE IS IN STATUTE, UH, AND I'M LOOKING HERE TO SEE EXACTLY WHERE THAT IS, BUT IT INVOLVED THE COUNTY JUDGES MEMBER BUT NOT A VOTING MEMBER.
AND IF YOU REMEMBER THE OTHERS, SHERIFF, SHERIFF IS A MEMBER, COUNTY TAX COLLECTOR IS A MEMBER.
THE COUNTY TREASURER IS A MEMBER, THE COUNTY CLERK IS A MEMBER, THE DISTRICT CLERK IS A MEMBER.
THE COUNTY ATTORNEY OR THE CRIMINAL DISTRICT ATTORNEY, UH, IS A MEMBER.

AND THEN, UH, LAST TIME WE DID THIS, WE REALLY HAD TROUBLE FINDING PEOPLE, UH, THAT WOULD WANTED TO SERVE ON THIS COMMITTEE, QUITE FRANKLY.
SO WE FINALLY GOT DOWN TO A, UH, UH, FINALLY FOUND ONE OF THE ALTERNATES.
SO WE'RE GONNA DRAW THREE NAMES THAT AND CONTACT THEM FIRST AND SEE IF THEY WOULD BE INTERESTED IN SERVING ON THIS SALARY GRIEVANCE FEE.

LIKE BE, PEOPLE CAN GO AHEAD AND GET A FINE AND THEN WE'LL SET UP THE INTERVIEW PROCESS AFTER WE GET ALL THE APPLIC.
THE MAJOR CHANGES BEING THE SUPERVISOR OF THE POSITION WILL BE THE COUNTY JUDGE, THE SUPERVISOR BOARD PERSON.

MAKE SURE WE, WHATEVER WE ALRIGHT, WE HAVE A MOTION A SECOND.
ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR SAY A AYE.
THOSE OPPOSED? NEXT ITEM IS TO DISCUSS AND CONSIDER LINE ITEM TRANSFERS.
ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON LINE? I THINK WE GOT ONE EMAIL HAD TO DO WITH PROBATION DEPARTMENTS AND THE OTHER ONE WAS UNDER OUR GENERAL GOVERNMENT'S THAT RECORD SERVICE.
YEAH, THEY, THEY VEHICLE, RIGHT? YEAH.
OUR, OUR RECORD FEES GO TO THE, OUR VEHICLES THAT ARE RIGHT, THE COUNTY OWNED VEHICLE.
AND YOU, AND YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND IT'S NOT A BILL FOR A THOUSAND DOLLARS THAT CAUSE THIS COMMISSIONER.
IT COULD BE TWO OR THREE THAT ADD UP 50, 2 50 OR THREE 50 DEPENDING ON THE LOCATION.
ALRIGHT, WE HAVE A MOTION FROM TO APPROVE THE TRANSFER.
ALL FAVOR SAID THAT I GUESS I HAD, YEAH, I GUESS I HAD WASTED THAT ALARM.
[01:20:13]
WE HAD TO PUT IN NEW CAMERAS, WE PUT IN DOORS AND ALL THE DOORS HAD TO BE ALIGNED WITH THE SYSTEM.YEAH, I KNOW YOUR CAMERAS WERE REALLY GOOD.
COME THEY HAVE A JP TECHNOLOGY.
YES, THEY HAVE A, THEY HAVE A COURT, JP COURTHOUSE SECURITY AND WE USED SOME OF THE, UM, IN COUNTY IMPROVEMENTS TO DO SOME COURTHOUSE TO PAY FOR COURT STUFF.
AND WE MET WITH, UM, JUDGE SMITH AND HE SENT US AN EMAIL AND JACK AND I AND TOLD US WHAT HE WOULD PAY FOR OUT HIS SECURITY BUDGET AND HIS TECHNOLOGY BUDGET BECAUSE NOT ALL OF IT CAN BE UNDER SECURITY.
SO, YOU KNOW, IT CAN'T BE UNDER TECHNOLOGY SO WE HAD TO SPLIT IT OUT TO BE ABLE TO PAY THROUGH ALL OF IT.
SO WE USED, WE USED THREE DIFFERENT SETS OF FUNDS.
UH, YOUR CLAIMS FOR PAYMENT ARE $1,798,716 AND 23 CENTS.
UH, THE MAJOR AMOUNT OF IT WAS 729,000 THAT WENT THROUGH YOUR RADIO SYSTEM.
ROAD AND BRIDGE MATERIAL WAS 295.
UH, YOUR ROAD BOTTOM WAS 2 0 9.
UH, MISCELLANEOUS IN VARIOUS ACCOUNTS WERE THE 317.
SO THAT'S WHAT MADE UP YOUR MILLION? UH, 7, 9, 8.
OH INMATE COUNT WE SPENT, YES.
TOKEN, AS YOU KNOW, UH, WE DO, SOME OF IT WAS REPLENISH AND STUFF IN, UH, IN THE JAIL AND DIFFERENT VARIOUS ITEMS THAT WE HAD.
OH, SO THAT WASN'T PAYING ANY OTHER, UH, CHIEF BECKY, UH, BEAVERS ALSO SENT ME AN EMAIL THIS MORNING.
UH, WE'RE GETTING PROBABLY ALMOST A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS BACK FROM THE FEDERAL INMATE CONTRACT FOR THE MEDICAL.
REMEMBER WE DIDN'T HAVE INCREASE IN MEDICAL AND UH, THE TRANSPORT TO THOSE HOSPITALS.
SO IT'S PRETTY CLOSE THAT WE'RE GONNA GET THAT MUCH EXTRA BACK TO REIMBURSE THE FUNDS.
IS THAT, IS THAT GONNA COVER WHAT OUR EXTRA FEES? YES, THAT'S CONTRACT.
IT'S, YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I MEAN BY BEING THE VARIOUS DIFFERENT THINGS BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO GET NEW BEDDING, YOU KNOW, NEW MATTRESSES, THE UM, INMATE CLOTHING AND STUFF THAT THEY'D HAVE TO ORDER TO PUT THESE PEOPLE IN THE CORRECT SUIT.
COLORS AND THINGS SO THEY CAN BE IDENTIFIED AS THEY'RE WORKING THROUGH THE JAIL AND STUFF.
THIS, I THINK THIS IS REALLY IN A WAY BECAUSE IT GIVES YOU A LITTLE PICTURE OF WHAT ALL THAT MONEY, WHAT TOOK THE LARGEST.
IT'S EASY TO DO, JUST PULL IT VISION AND THEN TAKE IT TO DO A CHART AND IT'S THERE WITH PRETTY, IT'S, THAT'S WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR.
THE THING THAT WOULD MAKE IT A LITTLE BETTER IS IF YOU PUT THE LIKE SYSTEM, YOU LOOK IN THIS COLOR.
WE JUST PUT 40 HERE BECAUSE SOMETIMES THOSE COLORS ARE GOOD.
LIKE ESPECIALLY THE BLADE AND STUFF.
I'M GONNA WRITE ON PERCENTAGE.
SO HONOR THAT WOULD, THAT MIGHT GO QUICKER.
I WANTED TO CALL SOMEBODY HOUSE ATTENTION.
THERE'S A SHEET THAT YOU GET THAT'S USUALLY CALLED MANUAL CHECKS.
USUALLY WHEN WE DO 'EM, EVERY, EVERY COMMISSIONER'S COURT, UM, A LOT OF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS, WHAT THIS REALLY IS.
AND A LOT OF IT IS BECAUSE THEY COME OUT OF THE DA'S ASSET FORFEITURE.
SOMETIMES THEY COME OUT OF SOS ASSET FORFEITURE.
THE SOS FEDERAL SEEDS MONIES, UH, EMPLOYEE SAVINGS.
WHEN EMPLOYEES PAY THROUGH THE
[01:25:01]
YEAR, THEY HAVE AN EMERGENCY OR ONE TIME A YEAR THEY CAN PULL THE MONEY OUT.WE POST THOSE CHECKS SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT MONEY IS GOING OUT.
THE COUNTY'S UH, WE WRITE CHECKS TO THE COUNTY CLERK FROM THE FUNDS.
WE RECORDED THOSE CHECKS THAT HAD NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE.
SO YOU WOULD KNOW WHAT WE'RE SPENDING OUT WITH THE J'S MONEY.
ONCE A MONTH THEY WRITE US A CHECK FOR THEIR FINES AND FEES, BUT WE HAVE TO WRITE CHECKS LIKE IF THEY COLLECT ON A HOT CHECK OR WHATEVER AND WE HAVE TO PAY A, YOU KNOW, MANUAL OBJECT.
SO THAT'S WHAT THESE CHECKS, UH, AMOUNT TO.
SO YOU'LL KNOW WHAT THEY, WHAT THIS REALLY CONSISTS OF.
'CAUSE I'D LIKE FOR Y'ALL TO KNOW ALL THE MONEY GOES UP.
OKAY, SO SOMEBODY COULD QUESTION THAT, WHAT THEY COULD SPEND THOSE FUNDS ON AND WHY IT WASN'T REPORTED, BUT THAT HAVE TO BE ENTERED MANUALLY BECAUSE THEY'RE SEPARATE BANK ACCOUNT, THE, THE BIG PACKS.
ALRIGHT, ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON, ON THE BILLS? THE ONLY THING I SAW WAS BILL LINE WAS, UM, ON THE TAX ASSESSOR.
WHAT TAX COLLECTOR AUTO AND TAX.
WHICH, WHICH SECTION? UH, THIS IS THE LITTLE PACKET HERE.
WHAT DOES IT SAY AT THE TOP? INVOICE BY CHECK A.
AND WE GOT ALL THESE REIMBURSEMENTS FOR THESE PEOPLE THAT WORK IN THE TAX OFFICE.
UH, THESE, I DON'T REMEMBER SEEING THIS TYPE OF ACTIVITY BEFORE.
IS THAT THIS TIME OF YEAR FOR THE, IS THAT DUE TO, OR NO, IT'S USUALLY BECAUSE THEY'VE HAD TO GO SOMEWHERE FOR A MEETING OR THEY HAD TO GO AND MAKE A BANK RUN.
UH, AND SOMETIMES THEIR BANK RUNS ARE LIKE A HALF A MILE.
SO THEY'LL WAIT TILL THEY HAVE TWO OR THREE MONTHS WORTH BEFORE THEY'LL SEND IN AN INVOICE FOR HER TO APPROVE.
THEY'RE, THEY'RE VERY UH, SMALL AMOUNTS THOUGH.
DID THEY UH, HOW DID THEY, BEFORE THAT, DID THEY MAKE MILEAGE LAW OR SOMETHING? UH, THEY SUBMIT TO US THEIR MAPQUEST AND THEY'LL HAVE SO MANY AND CALCULATE IT IN PER VALUE AND THEN WE AUDIT IT.
IF WE DON'T AGREE, WE CHECK IT, WE CHANGE IT.
OTHER THAN THAT QUESTION, MOTION TO UH, PAY BILLS.
ANY DISCUSSION? YES, I NEED REPORT.
I NEED ALL THOSE REPORTS SUBMITTED TO ME SO I CAN HAVE HIM PUT PLEASE.
THAT'S WHY SHE SUBMITS HER SOON.
IF YOU GET THOSE BEFORE WE SEND OUT THE SIT THE OTHER COMM, COMMISSIONER ALLEN FOUND IT.
I MOTION COMMISSIONER ALLEN TO ADJOURN THE MEETING.
COMMISSIONER SHANE SECOND MOTION.
I HAD TOLD HER WHAT TO DO AND WHAT STEPS TO TAKE TO SUBMIT TO THE COUNTY JUDGE TO GET THIS DONE.
I DIDN'T CATCH IT AT THE TIME, SO, UM, IT'S INCREASING THE BUDGET QUITE A BIT, SO I WANNA MAKE SURE Y'ALL YES.
SO WE'LL GET THAT AMENDED AND GET THAT SENT.
