[00:00:01]
THE MONDAY MARCH 20 MEETING, REGULAR MEETING OF TON COUNTY.I BELIEVE WE HAVE A FORUM PRESENT.
AND, UH, THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.
THOSE OF YOU THAT WISH TO ADDRESS THE COURT ON AN ITEM THAT LISTED ON IS A, THAT I BELIEVE IS ATTACHED OR AVAILABLE THERE ON THE TABLE.
UH, IF YOU'RE HERE TO ADDRESS AGAIN, AN ITEM THAT IS ON THE AGENDA, FEEL FREE TO FILL THAT OUT IF YOU WOULD.
FATHER, IT'S GREAT TO BE HERE TODAY AND YOU SPREAD LIFE HERE ANOTHER DAY.
AND WE PRAY THAT THE THINGS WE DO, DECISIONS WE MAKE TODAY WILL BE THE BENEFIT OF THE WHOLE FOR THE COUNTY, AND THAT THE THINGS WE DO FOR THE FUTURE WILL ALSO BENEFITING OUR CHILDREN AND OUR GRANDCHILDREN.
WE THANK YOU FOR THE LEADERS OF THIS COUNTRY.
WE PRAY THAT WE'LL PICK THOSE WHO ARE COMING UP, WHO WILL PUT YOU FIRST IN OUR NATION'S SAFETY AND THEIR UTMOST DILIGENCE.
WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR SON WHO DIED FOR US BEFORE.
FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA TO THE REPUBLIC FOR IT STANDS, ONE NATION UNDER GOD IN LIBERTY, AND FOR ALL I, THE TEXAS FLAG REQUEST ALLEGIANCE 3 1 1.
INDIVIDUAL CORRESPONDENCE, UH, INITIALLY I HAD WAS THE TAX, AND I BELIEVE THAT ITEM NUMBER IS THE CONSENT AGENDA.
WE ONLY HAVE ONE ITEM ON THAT, AND THAT IS TO DISCUSS AND CONSIDER APPROVING THE DICTATION OF MATT, HE, THE DEPUTY FOR THE COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT, THAT SHANE MAKES A MOTION.
COMMISSIONER PHILLIPS SECONDS.
ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.
I'M GONNA MOVE, UH, ITEM, UH, NUMBER, UH, FOUR UP, UH, TO, UH, NEXT.
THAT'S FROM, UH, JUDGE RICH, UH, WHO IS HERE WITH US THIS MORNING TO, UH, DISCUSS AND CONSIDER APPROVING A RESOLUTION ACCEPTING AND IMPLEMENTING COURT BECAUSE COUNTY DOCK, I THINK SO.
I'M SURE HE WOULD LIKE GET BACK TO THAT, BUT THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE, JUDGE, THAT WHAT YOU HAVE.
AND JUDGE, I HOPE YOU GOT YOUR PACKET, BUT, UH, I DON'T DUNNO HOW AWARE YOU ARE OF THE FACT THAT THERE'S SOME VETERANS COURTS ACROSS THE STATE OF TEXAS THAT'S, UH, IT'S BEING COMPOSED OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS.
UH, THERE'S NOT THAT MANY, BUT, UM, IN THE NORTH TEXAS REGION, WE NOW HAVE WHAT'S REFERRED TO AS THE NORTH TEXAS REGION VETERANS COURT.
HE WAS STARTED IN, UH, COLLIN COUNTY AND IT WAS, UH, PUT TOGETHER, UH, KIND OF LEADERSHIP UNDER JUDGE ROCHE OUT THERE IN COLLIN COUNTY.
AND SO THE REGIONAL VETERANS COURT, UH, CURRENTLY CONSISTS OF COLLIN GRAYSON HUNT, KAMAN COUNTY.
IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING AT THIS TIME, IT'S COLIN AND ROCKWELL COUNTY THAT'S ACTUALLY PARTICIPATING IN THAT PROGRAM.
AND I DON'T, I'M NOT SURE, BUT I DON'T THINK GRAYSON AND HUNT IS INVOLVED IN THAT YET.
WE, THE JUDGE MET WITH JUDGE ROACH HERE ABOUT A MONTH AGO, UH, TALKING ABOUT THE, UH, VETERANS COURT IN COUNTY TO, TO SORT OF JOIN THE REGIONAL VETERANS COURT.
AND WE'VE ALL AGREED THAT THAT WOULD BE A GOOD THING TO DO.
AND SO I WANTED TO COME OUT THIS MORNING AND KIND OF PRESENT THAT TO YOU AND SEE WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THAT.
IT'S A, IT'S A DIVERSION PROGRAM AND WE DO HAVE SEVERAL DIVERSION PROGRAMS, BUT THIS IS SPECIFICALLY FOR VETERANS.
AND LEMME JUST, UM, IN INSIDE THIS DOCUMENT HERE ON THE INSIDE PAGE, UH, IF YOU LOOK DOWN ON THAT INSIDE PAGE, IT SAYS ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA.
IT WILL TELL YOU THERE WHO WOULD BE, UM, A CANDIDATE FOR THE VETERANS POOL.
AND IT TALKS ABOUT THAT THEY HAVE TO BE A VETERAN OR CURRENT MEMBER OF THE UNITED STATES ARMED FORCES, INCLUDING A MEMBER OF THE RESERVES NATIONAL
[00:05:01]
GUARD OR STATE GUARD, THAT A PERSON OR THE CANDIDATE, POTENTIAL CANDIDATE WHO SUFFER FROM SOME SORT OF BRAIN INJURY, MENTAL ILLNESS OR MENTAL DISORDER, UH, INCLUDING POST POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER.AND, AND THIS IS THE KEY THAT RESULTED FROM THE OFFENDER'S MILITARY SERVICE IN A COMBAT ZONE OR OTHER SIMILAR HAZARD AREA.
AND THEY HAD MATERIALLY AFFECTED THE OFFENDER'S CRIMINAL CONDUCT ISSUE AT THE TIME.
AND SO IT WOULD HAVE TO BE RELATED TO SOME SORT OF BRAIN INJURY OR SERVICE RELATED INJURY.
AND, UM, THOSE WOULD BE THE ONES THAT WOULD BE A CANDIDATE FOR THE VETERAN'S SCHOOL.
UM, AND THE REASON WE DO THAT, I, I THINK THE MISSION AND THE PURPOSE BEHIND THIS IS BECAUSE OF WHAT VETERANS HAS DONE WITH US IN THIS COUNTRY.
THE FACT THEIR SERVICE AND THAT PUT THEIR LIFE LINE TO US.
IT SEEMS LIKE EVERYONE EXCEPT FOR VETERANS, AND I THINK IT'S AN IMPORTANT PROGRAM.
IN FACT, I WANNA GO JUST BRIEFLY.
UM, FIRST OF ALL, THE TEAM, THE TREATMENT PLAN OF THE TEAM, IF SOMEBODY'S CHARGED WITH A CRIMINAL OFFENSE, THEY HAVE TO HAVE AT LEAST ONE CRIMINAL OFFENSE OPINION.
AND, UM, ANYBODY CAN REFER THIS INDIVIDUAL INTO THE PROGRAM.
BUT TYPICALLY IT WOULD PROBABLY BE, UH, ONCE THEY'RE, THE OFFENSE IS CHARGED, IT WOULD BE UP TO JUDGE ROACH AND THE TEAM TO COME TOGETHER AND SAY, THIS CANDIDATE OR THIS PERSON IS A CANDIDATE FOR THIS PROGRAM.
THE TEAM MEMBERS WILL CONSIST OF JUDGE ROACH FROM COLLIN COUNTY, UH, FROM THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE HERE IN COL COUNTY, UH, BE PHIL WILLIAMS. AND BY THE WAY, THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY IS REALLY THE GATEKEEPER OF THIS PROGRAM.
THEY REALLY MAKE THE DETERMINATION OF WHETHER OR NOT THE CRIME THAT THIS VETERAN IS INVOLVED IN WOULD REALLY MOVE FORWARD, UM, INTO THE VETERAN'S COURT PROGRAM, UH, ALONG WITH THE OTHER ONES.
BUT THEY REALLY HAVE TO SAY, SO THEY'RE SORT OF, THEY, THEY'RE ALLOWED DISCRETION ON THAT.
THERE'S A DEFENSE ATTORNEY INVOLVED.
UM, EITHER THEY CAN HIRE THEIR DEFENSE ATTORNEY OR EITHER BE ONE APPOINTED TO THEM, JUST AS USUAL PROTECT THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS, UH, AND ALSO TRY TO SEEK SOME TREATMENT FOR THEM.
AND OF COURSE, ALL OF THIS IS NOT GONNA HAVE BE DONE OF THE INDIVIDUAL THAT WANTS THAT IS MAKING THE APPLICATION
THERE'S A VETERAN'S JUSTICE OUTREACH SPECIALIST, WHICH IS JUDGE BRO'S STAFF OUT COLLIN COUNTY.
UM, THERE'S A COUNTY VETERAN SERVICE OFFICER, WHICH WOULD BE MR. KELLY BACK HERE WOULD BE INVOLVED IN IT.
AND THEN THERE'S SOMEONE FROM THE JAIL, AND I HAVE THE NAME OF, UH, CAPTAIN LAURIE COMPTON, THAT WOULD BE THE JAIL REPRESENTATIVE INVOLVED IN THIS.
AND THEN THE PROGRAM MANAGER IS NER JENNIFER SMITH, WHICH IS, UH, JUDGE ROACH, UH, OVER IN COUNTY IS COORDINATOR BECAUSE SHE'S THE PROGRAM MANAGER FOR THE WHOLE REGIONAL AREA.
UH, AND THEN THERE'S A PEER MENTORING COORDINATOR WHO, WHO IS, UM, PROVIDED ALSO BY JUDGE ROS STAFF.
NOW, LET ME, LEMME JUST REAL QUICKLY SAY IF THEY FILL OUT THE APPLICATION, THEY SUBMIT THE INFORMATION, THEY, THEY ARE A CANDIDATE AND THEY GET INTO THE PROGRAM.
THERE'S ACTUALLY THREE PHASES, PHASE ONE, UH, AND IT'S ANY MATERIALS, THERE IS SORT OF A PHASE ORIENTATION ASSESSMENT PROGRAM THAT THEY GO THROUGH.
AND BY THE WAY, THIS PROGRAM, ONCE THEY'RE IN, IT LASTS ANYWHERE FROM SIX TO 24 MONTHS, DEPENDING ON THE INDIVIDUAL.
SO THE NORTH TEXAS REGIONAL COURT WAS CERTIFIED IN 2014, SO SOME OF THOSE INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE IN THERE RIGHT NOW HAVEN'T EVEN HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO COMPLETE THEIR PROGRAM YET.
AND SO WE REALLY DON'T HAVE ANY STATISTICS AS FAR AS THE SUCCESS RATE.
BUT I CAN TELL YOU, UH, TALKING TO JUDGE ROACH AND, UH, IN OUR MEETING WITH THE OTHER JUDGES THAT THIS IS A PRETTY INTENSE PROGRAM.
I MEAN, THERE CAN BE SANCTIONS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY IF THEY'RE NOT DOING WHAT THEY'RE DOING.
UM, AND, AND OF COURSE THERE'S, THERE'S ALSO INCENTIVES AS THEY MOVE ALONG TOO.
UH, THE WHOLE PURPOSE IS TO TRY TO TRY TO MAKE THEIR MILITARY RECORD, UM, I GUESS EQUATE WITH THEIR CIVILIAN RECORDS IS WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT.
AND ANYWAY, THERE'S THE FIRST, FIRST PHASE, WHICH THE ORIENTATION AND ASSESSMENT, AND THEN THERE'S THE SECOND PHASE, WHICH IS THE TREATMENT AND RECOVERY, WHICH CAN LAST FOR QUITE SOME TIME.
AND THEN THERE'S SOMETHING CALLED THE REINTEGRATION PROCESS, WHICH ALLOWS THEM TO SORT OF REINTEGRATE BACK INTO THE COMMUNITY.
UM, THE, UH, THE PROGRAM THAT THE TEAM GETS TOGETHER, UH, AND TALKS ABOUT, UH, THE INDIVIDUAL CANDIDATE REVIEWS THE APPLICATION AND SO FORTH AND MAKES A DETERMINATION OF WHETHER THIS PERSON ACTUALLY FITS AND
[00:10:01]
CAN BE IN THE PROGRAM.SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN DISARMINGLY DISCHARGED FROM A SERVICE IS NOT A CANDIDATE FROM THE PROGRAM.
SO, UM, THAT'S, THAT'S KIND OF SORT OF THE NUTS AND BOLTS OF IT, IF YOU WILL.
BUT LIKE I SAY, THERE'S SOME INCENTIVES AND SOME SANCTIONS THAT THAT CAN OCCUR.
JUDGE ROACH IS MORE LIKE, HE, HE WOULD BE COMING DOWN ONE FRIDAY, UH, EACH MONTH SET, UH, UP IN MY COURT AND DO THE VETERANS COURT IF, IF HE CANNOT ATTEND, UH, I THINK THE DELEGATED ME TO SIT ON THAT COURT.
UM, BUT HE WOULD, UH, HE WOULD REVIEW AND SEE HOW THEY'RE GOING.
THE RECRUITMENT TEAM WOULD ALL MEET UP THERE.
THEY WOULD TALK BEFORE THE CANDIDATE COMES IN TO SEE HOW THEY'RE DOING.
SO IT'S SORT OF LIKE SOME OTHER DIVERSION PROGRAMS, BUT THEY REALLY TRY TO UTILIZE THE VETERANS ADMINISTRATION'S RESOURCES THAT THEY HAVE AVAILABLE.
AND PROBABLY WHAT YOU'RE INTERESTED IN IS HOW MUCH DOES IT COST? AND IT'S ABOUT 400 TO $750 PER CANDIDATE DEPENDING ON THEIR INCOME, BUT THEY PAY THAT UPFRONT FEE, ALL THE RESOURCES AND UM, THE TREATMENT AND EVERYTHING IS, IS PAID FOR BY THE ADMINISTRATION.
SO, UM, I THINK, I THINK, UH, IN MY OPINION, IT'S THE LEAST WOMEN WHO SERVED AND, AND FOUGHT FOR US AND, AND EVEN QUITE FRANKLY ALLOWS US TO BE HERE THIS MORNING.
I THINK IT WOULD BE A GOOD PROGRAM AND, UH, I'D LIKE TO SEE HAPPEN.
THERE'S A LOT OF INFORMATION THAT THREE, FOUR MINUTES, SO IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'LL BE GLAD TO TRY TO ANSWER SOMETHING I DON'T, SO I I APPRECIATE THAT.
WELL, OKAY, THANKS FOR COMMENT.
I, YOU KNOW, WE GOT TOGETHER AND I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANYBODY THAT IT'S, IT'S CERTAINLY WORTH THE EFFORT TO TRY, AT LEAST, I BELIEVE.
AND SO ESPECIALLY SINCE IT, IT'S NOT COST OTHER THAN THE USE OF UPSTAIRS.
I, I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE CREDIT FOR THAT, BUT HOWEVER, UH, JUDGE WILEY'S, I THINK THE FIRST ONE THAT GOT INVOLVED IN IT, SO, UM, BUT I DO APPRECIATE THAT AND, AND I'M, I'M GLAD TO BE PART OF IT, BUT, UH, I, I DID NOT INITIATE, I'VE ALWAYS, SINCE I WAS VETERANS COURT, BUT, UH, JUDGE GOT JUMP ON THERE AND THAT'S FINE.
I, I THINK IT'S SOME BE SOMETHING CALL THE COUNTY.
THE INTERESTING THING ABOUT IT IS THE QUESTION THAT CAME TO MY MIND WHEN I HAD THOUGHT ABOUT VETERANS COURT, HOW MANY VETERANS WOULD WE SEE COME THROUGH KAMAN COUNTY CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM? AND, UM, DANIEL AND I WAS TALKING ABOUT THAT AND WE'RE NOT REAL SURE, BUT THERE'S SOME STATISTICS THAT THE JAIL HAS PROVIDED THAT OVER, I THINK IT WAS, I THINK IT WAS 2015 AND EARLY 16 ABOUT IT, THREE OR FOUR MONTH PERIOD, THERE WAS ABOUT 50 TO 75 VETERANS THAT CAME THROUGH THE JAIL.
UH, I DUNNO, CHIEF MAY BE ABLE TO, THAT IS, THAT IS DATA WE HAVE TO COLLECT NOW FOR JAIL COMMISSION IN THAT THEY TRUE.
SO IS IT 50 OR 75 OR DO YOU HAVE I I DON'T HAVE THE NUMBERS IN FRONT OF HIM.
WHATEVER DATA THAT HE HAS IS CORRECT.
WELL, I, WE JUST, I WAS TALKING TO UH, UH, DANIEL EARLIER THE PROBATION OFFICER, UH, CHIEF PROBATION OFFICER, AND HE INDICATED HE WENT SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 50 TO 75 AND WE'RE BASING THAT ON THE MEETING THAT WE HAD WITH THE JUDGE BACK ABOUT A MONTH AGO.
SO I DON'T REMEMBER EXACTLY WHAT, BUT THERE ARE A NUMBER OF THEM.
AND ANY OTHER QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, CONSIDER RESOLUTION, ANY OTHER DISCUSSION TO YOU.
AND AGAIN, THANK YOU THE TIME TO PUT THIS TOGETHER AND THE TEAM THAT YOU PUT TOGETHER AND I KNOW WILL BE WORKING
[00:15:01]
WITH YOU VERY MUCH ON THIS.WOULD YOU BE SO KIND TO TURN UP THE VOLUME? YES, JUDGE, YOU READ THAT ONE FOR CLARIFICATION.
YOU MOTION HAVE THAT MY QUESTION IS, I WAS GONNA, WOULD OKAY.
THAT WAY IT'S IN ORDER OF RECORDS.
AND I'M FIXING TO GIVE YOU THE COPY OF THE RESOLUTION HERE.
IS THAT BETTER NOW? CAN YOU HEAR YOU BETTER? THANK YOU.
ALRIGHT, ITEM, LET'S GO BACK UP TO ITEM NUMBER, UH, THREE.
AND THAT IS TO RECEIVE AN UPDATE FROM JOHN POLLSTER WITH INNOVATIVE TRANSPORTATION SOLUTIONS ON STATUS OF THE KAUFMAN COUNTY TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM.
JOHN, THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE AND IF YOU'D LIKE TO COME UP, UH, WE'D BE GLAD TO HEAR FROM YOU THIS MORNING.
THOSE, WHAT ALL'S GOING ON IN THE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION.
I HAVE, MAY I HAVE ONE PLEASE.
MY NAME IS JOHN POLLSTER WITH INNOVATIVE TRANSPORTATION SOLUTIONS 27 0 1 LANE IN GRANT, TEXAS.
UH, THIS IS REPORT THAT I PROVIDE AT
AND IF YOU WANT, WE'LL JUST GO OVER REAL QUICK AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, JUST UH, STOP ME BECAUSE I ALREADY KNOW WHAT I KNOW.
WE NEED TO KNOW WHAT Y'ALL WANNA KNOW.
SO THE FIRST TWO PROJECTS ON PAGE TWO AND THREE, THESE ARE BOTH PROJECTS THAT, UH, WERE IN THE BOTTOM PROGRAM TO DO SOME NEW
UH, WE INITIALLY HAD, UH, ENGINEERING FIRM SELECTED ENGINEERING, BUT WE TALK ABOUT $40,000 TWO ENGINEERING AND WE DOING DESIGN WORK, SAVE THOSE DOLLARS AND ROLL THEM BACK INTO CONSTRUCTION.
AND THEN, UH, YOUR DEBT, RMA HAS A, UH, PROGRAM WHERE THEY LOOK AT FUNDING TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS IN THE COUNTY THAT ARE PART OF RA.
THEY HAVE ABOUT $400,000 AVAILABLE.
SO WE SUBMITTED ABOVE THE, UH, 2 43 AT 25 15 AND, UH, 2 43 AT 27 27, FULL POTENTIAL FUNDING THROUGH THE NET, RA ON FEBRUARY 5TH.
WE SHOULD HEAR ABOUT, UH, THE SELECTION OF THOSE PROJECTS.
UH, WE TAKE THIS SUMMER, MAYBE EVEN SOONER.
UH, TYPICALLY THEY HAVE ABOUT $200,000 A YEAR THAT THEY ALLOCATE AND IN THE LAST COUPLE YEARS NOBODY'S SUBMITTED PROJECT.
SO WE'RE THINKING, UH, WE HAVE A PRETTY GOOD CHANCE.
AND SO IF WE GET THOSE DOLLARS, WE GOT ONE, TWO ALTERNATIVE WE CAN DO.
ONE IS REDIRECT THOSE, UH, COUNTY BOND MONEY TO OTHER PROJECTS A PRIORITY OR LOOK ON A MORE ROBUST INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENT OF THE LOCATIONS.
ANY QUESTION ON, WELL, WE SAVED THE ENGINEERING MONEY SO FAR, SO THAT'S GOOD.
UH, AND THEN THE NEXT PROJECT ON PAGE FOUR IS US 1 75.
AND AT 18 9 5, THIS PROJECT, AGAIN HAS ANOTHER 200 FOR INTER IMPROVEMENTS.
WE SUBMITTED THAT TO THE STATE MEMBER IT SAFETY PROGRAM.
UH, TEXAS STUDIES IS IN THE PROCESS OF PUTTING TOGETHER THE DESIGN PACKAGE FOR THAT.
THE, IT, IT'S GOTTA GO THROUGH A WARRANT PROCESS FOR EITHER A FLASHING BEACON OR A TRAFFIC SIGNAL AND THE STATE'S DOING THAT AS WELL.
AND DEPENDING UPON WHICH ONE OF THOSE IS WARRANTED, UH, THE GOOD NEWS ON THIS PROJECT IS WE HAVE TO HAVE IT, UM, LED BY FEBRUARY OF, OF NEXT YEAR BECAUSE THOSE WERE, THOSE ARE THE TIMEFRAME FOR THE FUNDS.
SO THIS SHOULD TURN PRETTY FAST, UH, AND GET ON THE GROUND PRETTY QUICK.
[00:20:01]
A BEACON OR A TRAFFIC SIGNAL.IF IT WARRANTS A TRAFFIC SIGNAL, THEN WE'LL GO AHEAD AND DO THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL AT THAT LOCATION.
ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT? ALRIGHT, UH, USA RAMP LOCATION.
UH, THIS IS THE PRODUCT THAT MICHAEL BAKER'S WORKING FOR, UH, WITH US ON THE IN CITY AT 20.
AND RIGHT NOW WE ARE IN PROCESS OF, UH, FINALIZING SCHEMATIC.
WE, UH, INITIALLY THOUGHT ABOUT LOOKING AT PULLING OUT ONE OF THOSE RAMPS, BUT AFTER LOOKING AT THE, UH, MOVING THE TRAFFIC IN THAT AREA, WE DECIDED THAT ALL THREE RAMPS NEEDED TO BE KEPT IN THE, IN THE PROJECT, UH, MAKE, MICHAEL BAKER HAD THE 95% PLANS DONE ON MARCH 11TH, AND AFTER GETTING COMMENTS BACK FROM STOP, THERE'S SOME SAFETY LIGHTING THAT WE NEED TO DO TO INCLUDE THE RAMPS.
AND SO MICHAEL BAKER'S GOING AHEAD AND LOOKING AT WHAT THAT WOULD COST US.
SO THAT WASN'T PART OF OUR SCOPE TO DO SAFETY LIGHTING.
SO WE'RE ADJUSTING CONTRACT SAFETY AVENUE RANCH.
SO, UH, WE'RE STILL LOOKING AT PROBABLY SUMMERTIME BECAUSE THIS PROJECT CAN BE LESS AND, UH, I DON'T SEE ANY REASON WHY I CAN'T HAVE THIS.
THIS IS A PROJECT WHERE WE'RE DOING THE PLANNING ON, UH, THE ENTIRE LIMIT AND THERE'S A BREAKOUT SECTION ON NEXT PAGE.
UH, WE'VE BEEN MEETING WITH, UH, THE MUNICIPALITIES IN THE JURISDICTION IN THE CORRIDOR TO DETERMINE WHAT FIVE ONE GROWS UP.
UH, CURRENTLY, THE, UH, TOPO IS BEING DONE BY
THEY AGREED TO ALLOW SURVEY AND, UH, GRAPHICAL SURVEY WORK TO BE DONE BY THE, THE STATE AS OPPOSED TO BUY THE, UH, THE ENGINEER CODE.
AND WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF MEETING WITH THOSE JURISDICTIONS, DETERMINE, UH, WHAT TYPE OF REQUIREMENTS THEY'RE GONNA WANT ON.
WE'RE COORDINATE WHAT THEIR PARAMETERS ARE FOR THESE PROJECTS.
THEY'RE IN EARLY STAGES, BUT WE'VE OFFSET THE COST OF THE TOPOGRAPHY AND THE SURVEY WORK FOR THE STATE.
SO IT'S EARLY ON IN THE PROCESS, BUT THEY DO HAVE A BREAKOUT SECTION FROM, UH, RITA ROAD SOUTH TO 80.
THAT WORK IS ALSO BEING RUN BY PK AND UH, WE ANTICIPATE, UH, THE, UH, PHASE ONE HAVING A, UH, 2017 WE TAKE IN CONSTRUCTION START AND THAT'S WE AN ENVIRONMENTAL DONE THE RIGHT LOCATED.
THIS IS ONE OF THE PROJECTS IN, UH, THAT WAS PUT ON HOLD FOR PROJECTS WE'RE FIXING TO GET INTO.
WE CAME BACK AND ADJUSTED THEIR ICA TO MOVE SOME MONEY AROUND INSIDE THEIR OWN PROJECTS.
AND SO WE PUT THIS ON HOLD FOR NOW THE US A INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS.
THIS IS THE
WE MET WITH, WE HAD MULTIPLE OPTIONS.
ONE WAS WE GONNA LOOK AT DOING A GRADE SEPARATION IN THAT LOCATION, BUT THE, UH, RAILROAD WASN'T REALLY WILLING TO ALLOW US TO CHANGE THE GRADE ON THEIR, ON THEIR, UH, FAIR RAIL BECAUSE OF SOME SPURS EITHER INTO THERE.
AND TO TAKE 2 0 5 OVER WOULD'VE PRETTY MUCH TAKEN UP ALL OF THAT COMMERCIAL PROPERTY THERE.
SO WE WENT BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD.
WE GOT BOTH ON AND, UH, NEXT CITY WITH PROBABLY SIX TIMES.
AND, UH, WE CAME UP WITH MULTIPLE OPTIONS.
AND THEN WE MET WITH TDOT, UH, EARLY IN MARCH AND WE PICKED WHAT'S CALLED OPTION TWO, WHICH IS DEPICTED IN THE, UH, DRAWING IS A BLUE DRAWING WHERE WE'RE GONNA DO BASICALLY WIDEN THE ROADWAY IN EACH DIRECTION AND ADD ADDITIONAL TURN MOVEMENTS, UH, AND THROUGHPUT.
AND THEN, UM, WE'RE GONNA SHIFT THE CENTER LINE OF THE INTERSECTION FURTHER TO THE NORTH BECAUSE THE FURTHER, UH, AWAY FROM THE RAILROAD, THE BETTER YOU CAN ADJUST THE GRADE BETWEEN THE TWO ROADS.
SO WE'RE MOVING THE GRADE TO THE NORTH TO, UH, FLATTEN OUT THAT GRADE AND IT'S, UH, RIGHT AT SIX, ALMOST $7 MILLION TOTAL.
SO ONCE WE GET IT TO THE POINT, THAT'S WHERE WE'LL GO IN AND START THE T FIVE MONEY FOR THE
[00:25:01]
DIFFERENCE ON THAT JOB.ANY QUESTIONS IS, IS THE OPTION TWO? IS THAT THE ONE WHERE THEY RAISE THE RAILROAD? NO, NO.
OPTION TWO IS EVERYTHING'S THAT GREAT AND WE'RE PUSHING THE ROAD NORTH AWAY FROM THE RAILROAD TO GIVE A DISTANCE.
WE AND RAISE 82 0 5 HIGHER BECAUSE THE RAILROAD TRACKS UP.
AND SO WHAT YOU DO IS YOU GO UP AND YOU GO DOWN.
AND SO WHAT WE DO IS MOVE THE INTERSECTION UP, RAISE IT, LET IT CHASE OUT ON 80, AND THE TWO OH FIVE'S GOT KIND OF A NATURAL RISE THERE ANYWAY.
SO OPTION TWO IS AN AT GRADE, UH, IMPROVEMENT THAT ADDS ADDITIONAL CAPACITY.
DO THE INTERSECTION, YOUR DUAL TURNING MOVEMENTS, AND UH, SO HOW MANY LANES WOULD IT BE IN EACH DIRECTION? IT'LL, THE, THE LANES WILL STAY, UH, FOUR LANES ON, ON, ON ON 80.
AND THEN THE FOUR ON FIVE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT DOING, IS THAT IN DUAL LEFTS? UH, RIGHT.
WE NEED TO, UH, GETTING THE TURNING PUT IN THAT INTERSECTION TO SEPARATE THE TRAFFIC.
SO NOT THE, WHERE WE'RE MINIMALLY IMPACTING THE RAILROAD ON 1 48, UH, BUT ON 82 0 5 WE'RE NOT TOUCHING.
SO IT'S SOMETHING WE'LL HAVE TO GET THE, THE RAILROAD TO APPROVE, APPROVE, BUT THEY'LL COME LOT CLOSER TO APPROVE THAT THAN THEY, THEY'LL, WE JUST, WE JUST GOT INTO A FIGHT WITH THE RAILROAD IN ANOTHER AREA THAT I REPRESENT ON A TWO FOOT RISE.
AND SO 17 FEET DEFINITELY GONNA BE
RIGHT? THAT WAS THE OTHER THING WAS THAT, UH, TO CHASE THE RAIL OUT AS FAR AS YOU'D HAVE TO CHASE IT, IT WAS WELL BEYOND WHAT WE THINK THE INTERSECTION WOULD WARRANT TO.
AT ONE TIME, WEREN'T YOU EVEN THINKING ABOUT GOING UNDER THE, THE, WELL WE'RE GONNA SPLIT THE GRADES.
THAT'S WHERE WE, WE ACTUALLY NEEDED ABOUT 22.
WE GONNA TRY TO SPLIT THE GRADES, BUT IT, IT COST ON THAT SO FAR OUTSIDE OF ANYTHING WE THOUGHT WE COULD JUSTIFY THAT A TOUGH INTERSECTION.
AND THE, UH, OTHER ALTERNA THE OTHER ISSUE WE HAD TO KEEP IN MIND WAS WHATEVER WE CAME UP WITH, WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DIDN'T DESTROY THE ECONOMIC DEVELOP QUADRANT.
SO REALLY LIMITS WHAT YOU'RE TO DO DOING THERE.
UH, 1 7 5 SOUTH FRONT ROAD, THIS PROJECT DAN WORKING ON AND UH, THEY GOT THE CONTRACT EXECUTED.
WE EARLY IN FEBRUARY AND WE MET, WE'RE MEETING WITH THEM TEXT MARCH 30TH.
I GUESS THAT'S LIKE THIS WEEK SOMETIME.
UH, THEY A KICKOFF MEETING AND AGAIN, THIS IS THE SOUTHBOUND FRONT AND WE ARE, UH, LOOKING AT THE POTENTIAL IN THIS CORRIDOR OF ADDING A GREAT SEPARATION FOR 1 48.
IF IT WORKS OUT, IT'S NOT YET.
I'LL SHOW YOU THAT ON THE NEXT PROJECT.
I THINK WE'VE, UH, THERE, ALLEN AND I WENT TO A MEETING WITH UH, CR A COUPLE MONTHS AGO AND, UH, HALF IS WEIGHING OUT THAT THAT LINE AND, AND GENERAL, WHEREVER 1 48 ON THE BYPASS HITS THE ONE SECOND ABOUT SOUTHBOUND FRONT ROAD, WE'LL EITHER WORK WITH EITHER HAT OR DAN BOMB TO LOOK AT THAT IN THAT GREAT SEPARATION FOR BASICALLY WE JUST BE CONNECTING THE
THAT'S ANOTHER, WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF DOING THE, UH, AERIAL SURVEY.
AND, UH, ONCE WE GET THE AERIAL SURVEY DONE, UH, IN MAY AND HALF WILL PICK UP AND CONTINUE TO WORK ON THE ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AGAIN ONCE WE HAVE THE AERIAL SURVEY AND THEN WE CAN GET HALF TO GIVE US CLARITY ON THE TIMEFRAME, WE'LL BE ABLE TO PUT IN THE, THE SCHEDULE WHERE WE HAVE, WE'LL START ANTICIPATING, BUT IT'S EARLY ON IN ITS BASIS.
AND THEN 1 48, THE, UH, SO THE ENTIRETY OF 1 48 THROUGH, UH, THROUGH THE COUNTY.
THIS IS A BROWN GATE PROJECT AND AGAIN, THE, UH, GEOTECHNICAL
[00:30:01]
WORK IS BEING DONE BY, UH, A LA GEOTECHNICAL.AND BASICALLY WHAT WE GOTTA DO IS DETERMINE WE'RE GONNA GO FROM A 22 FOOT, TWO FOOT SHOULDER ROAD TO A 24 FOOT, THREE FOOT SHOULDER RECONSTRUCTING BASICALLY THE PHASE.
SO THE FIRST THING WE HAVE TO DO IS HAVE A GEOTECHNICAL DONE SO WE CAN DETERMINE WHAT TYPE OF PAVEMENT DESIGN THAT ROAD IS IT NEEDS.
AND UNTIL WE GET THAT, UH, ROUND AND GATE CAN'T START THEIR WORK.
SO, UH, THAT'S COMING SOON AND UH, AGAIN, WE PUSHED OFF THE SURVEY TO THE STATE, SO THAT SAVED US SOME MONEY ON THE CONTRACT AS WELL.
SO, AND I FORGOT TO ANNOUNCE THAT JEFF BUSH AND HERE TEXT THAT.
SO IF YOU GET ANY QUESTIONS THAT ARE, REQUIRE REAL ANSWERS FROM SOMEBODY KNOWS THEY CAN HELP YOU ON CORNER THEM AT THE END OF THE BE YES.
YOUR OTHER INSTRUCTIONS TO CORRECT ME WHEN I'M WRONG PRIVATELY.
SO 6 34, UH, THIS IS THE LTR EIGHT PROJECT.
UH, AND THEY ARE STILL WORKING ON THEIR PRELIMINARY STABILITY TO US AND SO WE'VE ASKED THEM TO, UH, GIVE US ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THE SCHEDULE AND THAT'S FORTHCOMING.
UH, WE HAD TO WORK
SO WE'RE TRYING TO BALANCE, UH, WHAT WE DO ON THE BRIDGES AND, AND, AND WHAT IS LEFT FOR ACTUALLY MAKING IMPROVEMENTS TO THE, UH, ROADWAY ITSELF.
SO WE KIND JUST GET STARTED ON THAT ONE.
BASICALLY THEY'RE WORKING FROM, UH, AND BEYOND IN, IN COUNTY.
AND UH, IT SAYS, SHARON, WHAT DO YOU THINK THAT DRAFT STUDY WILL BE? UH, IT SHOULD BE DONE BY, UH, THE END OF APRIL.
WE SHOULD HAVE THE DRAFT PLAN READY.
SO AFTER THAT POINT WE'LL GET WITH, UH, INDIVIDUAL COMMISSIONERS AND GO OVER FINDINGS, PRESENT THAT INFORMATION TO YOU.
THOSE GUYS ARE WORKING HARD ON IT.
AND WE WE'RE COORDINATING ON THE REGIONAL, UH, PARTNER OF THE 80 BACK WHEN WE WERE DOING THE WORK IN CORN ON THAT HIGHWAY 80 RAN PROJECT.
WE BASICALLY LOOKED AT WHAT THEY WERE SUGGESTING.
THERE WAS SOME THINGS THAT THEY HAD TO TWEAK TO MATCH WHAT WE WERE ACTUALLY DOING IN THE CITY OF CORN ON THAT.
SO WE ARE THE RIGHT HAND OVER THE LEFT HAND DOING COUNTY THIRD FAIR PLAN.
UH, WE'RE HAVING PUBLIC MEETINGS THIS WEEK AND I THINK FOUR OF 'EM.
UH, I WAS OUT OF TOWN LAST WEEK, WEEK BEFORE US.
CAN'T REMEMBER IF THERE WAS SOME CONVERSATION ABOUT STUFF THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDED TO THE THIRD PLAN.
I THINK IT'S ALREADY IN THOROUGH ROW PLAN MAX THAT WE'RE GONNA BE SHOWING THIS, RIGHT? RIGHT.
IT'S ALREADY BEEN ADDED BACK TO THE PLAN.
UH, THIS IS THE PROJECT, UH, KAUFMAN COFFMAN MANAGE.
WE SIMPLY, UH, PROVIDED, UH, OUR PARTICIPATION ON THE PROJECT.
IT'S GOT A MAY COMPLETION DATE AND THEY'RE AT 86% COMPLETE AND I SEE NO REASON WHY THEY WON'T MAKE.
IT WAS A BOMB PROGRAM WHERE WE ENTERED INTO A INTERLOCAL WITH, UH,
IT'S THE SAME INTER LOCAL EXIT AS THE PREVIOUS JOB.
UH, AND AGAIN, THEY ARE WORKING ON, UH, ENGINEERING, WHICH THEY EXPECT TO BE COMPLETED BY APRIL.
AND THEY ARE CONCURRENTLY ACQUIRING A LOT OF WEIGHT ON THAT PROJECT.
AND I'M NOT SURE WE KNOW FOR SURE EXACTLY WHEN THE PROJECT WILL START YET, BUT AS SOON AS WE KNOW THAT, WE'LL ENTER THAT INTO THE SCHEDULE.
MY CITY MANAGER IS HERE FROM COFFMAN.
IS THAT, UH, HAS ALL BEEN OBTAINED BEFORE THEN? UH, IT, IT WILL BE MOST COVERED.
WE'VE GOT ONE MORE PROPERTY OWNER THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND I THINK WE'VE GOT A PLAN TO GET THAT DEAL DONE.
GOT A COUPLE MORE THAT WE GOTTA GET DONE AND I THINK THAT'S THE CRITICAL PATH ON, ON THE PROJECT.
YOU KNOW, IT'S, IT'S ALL HUNG UP ON, ON FUNDING AT THIS POINT.
[00:35:02]
OKAY.THE 5 57, UH, RIDGE, THIS IS ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE PROJECTS THAT WE ENTERED INTO AN INTERLOCAL CITY
THEY'RE ABOUT 90% COMPLETE AND THEY'RE TELLING US THEY SHOULDA HAVE THAT RE COMPLETED BY NEXT MONTH TIMEFRAME.
I DROVE BY, IT LOOKS LIKE IT MAY BE OPEN, BUT CONTRACT STILL HAS TO BE COMPLETED BECAUSE CONTRACT ISSUES.
SO WE ANTICIPATE COMPLETE CONTRACT COMPLETION BY END OF APRIL.
THIS IS A, THIS IS A PROJECT WHERE CAROL WAS SHORT SOME MONEY ON IT AND SO THEY'RE GONNA BREAK THE PROJECT INTO TWO PHASES.
PHASE ONE FROM SQUARE 5 57, UH, EASTBOUND FOR APACHE TRAIL.
THEY'RE ANTICIPATING LESS THAT BY THE END OF THIS YEAR THEY WERE, UH, WORKING WITH TECH ON THIS PROJECT TO MAYBE FIND AN ADDITIONAL COUPLE MILLION DOLLARS ON ONE OF THE BRIDGES TO BE RECONSTRUCTIVE.
BUT
SO BASICALLY INSTEAD OF BUILDING TWO NEW BRIDGES, WE'RE GONNA LEAVE THE OLD BRIDGE.
AND, AND THAT'S AGAIN, PART OF THE PASS THROUGH.
WE GAVE THEM MONEY TO SEND US INVOICES AND WE PAY THAT.
OKAY, 6 16 41 ADVANCED PLANNING.
THIS IS THE PROJECT THAT PASSED THROUGH.
WE TOLD YOU THAT, UH, SUBMITTED, BUT IT'S IN TALKING COUNTY.
WE TALKING TO BRENDA, JEFF A. LITTLE BIT AGO.
WE'RE GONNA TRY TO GET TOGETHER IN THE NEAR TERM AND, UH, SEE IF WE CAN EITHER GET THE STATE TO ALLOW THE COUNTY TO ASSUME THAT PASS THROUGH, UH, PROJECT SINCE IT'S WE, WE ARE AN UMBRELLA POLITICAL SUBDIVISION OVER ALL THOSE ENTITIES, WHICH IS A HANG UP STATE OR FIND A WAY TO MAKE THE PROJECT SOMETHING SMALLER INSIDE THE CITY OF, WE ACTUALLY SUBMITTED THE PROJECT AND THEN BEFORE I, Y'ALL 34 ADVANCED PLAN, EVERYBODY SEEMS TO BE INTERESTED IN THAT ROAD.
SO WE'RE GONNA PUT THE ROAD BACK ON THE THIRD FLOOR PLAN.
AND THEN, UH, THIS IS A PROJECT THAT FREEZE NICHOLS EARLY ON IN THE, UH, TOGETHER REASON WE SELECTED AS MOST QUALIFIED FOR THIS PROJECT, HIGHWAY 80 AND THE THIRD PRAYER PLAN.
SO AT SOME POINT WE NEED TO, UH, NEAR TERM GET THOSE GUYS.
THEY'RE WORKING ON THE THIRD PRAYER PLAN.
THEY'RE WORKING ON US 80 AND SO WE'RE ALMOST DONE TO THE
SO I THINK WE'RE AT AT THE POINT WHERE WE CAN, UH, PICK THEM UP AND START THEM WORKING ON FIGURING OUT WHAT WE WANNA DO THIRD FOUR SOMETIME SOON.
SO WE HAVE A ITEM IN OUR BOND PROGRAM CALLED STRATEGIC PROJECT FUNDING.
AND BASICALLY THAT'S, WE KNEW WE WEREN'T GONNA EVERYTHING WHEN WE TOGETHER AND THINGS LAST TO THROW OFF 34 NORTH LK WAS ONE OF THOSE.
AND SO, UH, THE ONLY THING TO REPORT ON THIS IS THAT THERE WAS, UH, 200 AND SOMETHING THOUSAND DOLLARS AND WHATEVER I'M WRONG ON, KAREN WILL CORRECT ME, WHERE WE HAD SPENT SOME MONEY FUNDING THAT WAS ELIGIBLE TO SPENT OUT OF THAT, UH, THAT SID LOAN THAT YOU HAD FOR THIS PROJECT.
SO WE WERE ABLE TO, UH, RECALCULATE THE BOOKS TO MAKE THOSE FUNDS BE PAID FOR OUT OF THE SID LOAN, WHICH PUT MORE MONEY BACK INTO YOUR STRATEGIC PROJECT FUNDING ACCOUNT.
THAT'S BASICALLY ALL, IT'S BEEN DONE SINCE THE LAST TIME.
THIS IS THE ONE FROM, UH, 78 IN COLLIN COUNTY TO ALL THE WAY DOWN TO, UH, EIGHT AND LL AND HALF IS DOING THE WORK ON THIS PROJECT.
AND, UH, RIGHT NOW THEY ARE HAVING SEVERAL, UH, MEETINGS IN THE CORRIDOR.
THE LAST THREE AND A HALF WAS, UH, IN ROCKWALL.
ROCKWALL HAS A ALTERNATIVE ROUTE.
THEY WANT, UH, CONSIDERED COUNTY THAT IS, UH, JOHN KING BOULEVARD.
WE KNOW THAT WHEN WE MET WITH TERRELL, UH, THREE MONTHS AGO, FOUR MONTHS AGO, THEY WERE LOOKING AT MAYBE TAKING
[00:40:01]
2 0 5 A LITTLE BIT FURTHER TO THE, TO THE WEST.I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S, UH, MAYBE THROUGH THEIR PROCESS YET.
SO WE PROBABLY NEED TO DO SOME MORE WORK, IDENTIFY EXACTLY WHAT THAT INTENTION IS.
BUT THE PROJECT IS CONTINUING ON.
UH, WHEN I GET TO THE END, I'LL EXPLAIN TO YOU SOME THE ISSUES THAT WE'RE CHASING.
2 0 5 IS A PROJECT, UH, PROJECT, ONE OF THE MAJOR CANDIDATE PROJECTS THAT WE'RE CHASING, UH, WITH THOSE FUNDS.
AND I, I'LL GET TO THAT AT THE END.
AND THEN TWO PROJECTS THAT, UH, ARE NOT ON THE BORROW PACKAGE PER SE.
SO THEY COME UP IN OUR DEALINGS WITH THE COUNTY.
ONE IS THE, UH, 2 0 5 AT GRIFFIN AVENUE.
UH, THERE'S A, THERE'S A LETTER IN THE PACKET, SO YOU'LL HAVE IT THERE THAT, UH, IT DOES WARRANT A TRAFFIC SIGNAL, BUT WHEN YOU DO THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL, IT ALSO REQUIRES SOME ADDITIONAL TURNING MOVEMENTS TO BE ADDED.
AND SO WHAT WHAT JEFF IS SUGGESTING IS, IS THEY PLAN ON STRIPING OR REPAVING, UH, AND RETRIP THE INTERSECTION THIS SUMMER.
AND AT THAT POINT THE, UH, THE SIGNAL WILL BE DESIGNED TO INSTALL FOR THEY'RE THEY DRAWN, THAT'S SAFETY IMPROVEMENT AND
AND THEN COMMISSIONER PHILLIPS, UH, TOLD ME THAT IF WE DIDN'T GET A SIGNAL THAT POPULATING STOCK AWAY, HIS WIFE WOULD PROBABLY KILL HIM AT SOME POINT.
SO, UH, I TOOK THAT, THE SERIOUS ISSUE.
SO, UM, IT SAYS THE PROJECT HAS A PENDING TRAFFIC SIGNAL THAT I TALKED TO BRENDA AND JEFF THAT HAS BEEN WARRANTED FOR A TRAFFIC SIGNAL.
AND SO, UH, MY, SO, SO, UH, WHAT'S GOING ON TRANSPORTATION WISE? THE, THE, AS YOU KNOW, ABOUT THREE MONTHS AGO, THE, UH, HIGHWAY COMMISSION CAME THROUGH THE AREA AND WAS COMMUNICATING TO THE REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION COUNCIL THAT THE DIVERSIONS FROM THE, FROM THE HIGHWAY TRUST FUND SIX, THAT WAS GOING INTO 25% GOING INTO EDUCATION AND THEN THE PS FUNDS, THOSE WERE ELIMINATED OUT TRANSPORTATION AND FUNDED IN
SO THAT PUT ABOUT 1.1 TO $1.3 BILLION OF ADDITIONAL REVENUE PER CYCLE INTO TRANSPORTATION.
WHAT THE COMMISSION DECIDED TO DO WITH THOSE, WHAT THEY CALL, UH, DIVERSION FUNDS, IS TO CREATE A PROGRAM CALLED A CONGESTION RELIEF PROGRAM.
AND WHAT THAT IS, IS LARGE SCALE, UH, MOBILITY PROJECTS.
SO IN THE FIRST ROUND, THEY UH, PUT MONEY ON TO SOUTHERN GATEWAY, WHICH IS SOUTH OF DALLAS AND WHAT THEY CALL THE LOWEST, WHICH IS THAT LAST PART OF 35 GOING INTO DALLAS FROM THE NORTH AND THEN PUT SOME OTHER PROJECTS IN IN FOR WORTH DISTRICT LARGE PROJECT CONGESTION RELIEF FUNDING DOES IS IT FUNDS THOSE, WHAT I CALL THE PIGS GOING THROUGH THE PIPELINE, RIGHT? THOSE BIG PROJECTS THAT ARE REALLY NOTICEABLE, UH, THOSE FUNDS ARE AVAILABLE FOR THOSE LARGE PROJECTS, WHICH MEANS THAT YOUR PROP SEVEN MONEY, WHICH COME ONLINE IN 2018 AND 2019 AND YOUR NORMAL GAS TAX REVENUE WILL NOT BE NEEDED TO FUND THOSE LARGER, LARGER JOBS.
SO IT TAKES THE PRESSURE OFF THE STATE FOR THE, FOR THE BIG MARQUEE LEGACY JOBS WE GOTTA DO, WE MET WITH T DO DISTRICT AND UH, WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF WORKING TOGETHER WITH BOTH THE DISTRICT AND THE AREA OFFICE TO IDENTIFY CERTAIN PROJECTS THAT WE THINK ARE GONNA BE BEST QUALIFIED FOR THE PROP SEVEN FUNDS, WHICH NOW PROP SEVEN WON'T HAVE TO BE USED ON THOSE LARGER JOBS AS MUCH BECAUSE THE CONGESTION RELIEF TAKES THOSE OFF THE TABLE.
SO SOME OF OUR JOBS WOULDN'T NECESSARILY QUALIFY FOR CONGESTION RELIEF, BUT BECAUSE THAT'S SOLVING A LOT OF THE DISTRICT AND THOSE SPONSOR FORMULA ALLOCATED, THAT'S IMPORTANT.
SO THEY COME TO THE EIGHT METRO AREAS.
CONGESTION RELIEF IS ONLY GONNA BE USED FOR METRO AREAS.
SO THOSE DOLLARS AREN'T GONNA GO TO RURAL, UM,
[00:45:01]
COUNTIES TO DO FOREIGN MARKETS.THEY'RE GONNA BE CATCHING THE URBAN AREAS DOING, UM, THE BIG MARKETING JOBS.
SO THAT HAS PROP SEVEN COMING LINE AT 18 AND 90, DEPENDING UPON HOW THE TAX, THE SALES TAX REVENUE GOES, THOSE DOLLARS, THE ONLY PROHIBITION ON THOSE DOLLARS IS YOU CAN'T USE 'EM FOR TOW ROADS.
WE DON'T HAVE ANY TOW ROADS, SO WE'RE, OKAY.
SO 2 0 5 IS ONE OF THOSE PROJECTS WE'RE LOOKING AT, UH, HOW IMPROVEMENTS TO US 80 ARE, ARE IS THE TOP PRIORITY AND WHATEVER ELSE WE CAN THROW IT
WE'RE GONNA BE THROWING EVERYTHING ON OUR BOND PACKAGE AT THOSE TWO PROGRAMS, BOTH THE PROP SEVEN AND THE GAS CAP PROGRAM.
AND I THINK THE STAKES WANT TO MOVE FAST ON THESE DOLLARS.
AND SO IF YOU'RE NOT ALREADY PLANNING YOUR PROJECTS FUNDED IN 1819, THEN YOU'RE ALREADY TOO LATE.
SO WE'RE ABOUT THE STUFF THAT Y'ALL STARTED A YEAR AGO OR SO.
THOSE PROJECTS ARE IN THE PIPE GROWING UP ALONG WHERE WE ARE, UH, VERY CLOSE TO THE FRONT OF THE LINE ON THOSE.
I'M WONDERING WHO THE DECISION MAKER IS ON PROP SEVEN.
BECAUSE PROP SEVEN IS A FORMULA ALLOCATED AS WELL.
SO THAT MEANS THAT THE, I THINK 36% OF THE TOTAL REVENUE COMES TO THE NORTH TEXAS AREA BECAUSE DALLAS AND FORT WORTH IS LARGER IN HOUSTON.
I THINK HOUSTON ABOUT 29% ONCE IT COMES TO THE REGION, THEN THE REGION HAS A 69 30 1% SPLIT BETWEEN THE EAST AND THE WEST, WHICH MEANS KELLY SELLMAN IN THE EAST, BRIAN BARK AND THE WEST AND MICHAEL MORRIS IN THE MIDDLE AT THE REGIONAL COUNCIL.
SO THOSE THREE ENTITIES WILL BE THE, THE SELECTORS, UH, PROJECTS, UH, COMMERS.
Y'ALL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? I HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS ON THE COMMISSION.
Y'ALL HAVE ANY, I I GOT ONE QUESTION AND IT'S KIND OF DIRECTED TO YOU AND MICHAEL.
WELL, LEES MADE THE STATEMENT FOR THE OTHER DAY, UH, AND SENT OUT AN EMAIL THAT HE WAS CONCERNED THAT THE OLD HIGHWAY 34 ROOF THAT WAS INVESTIGATED THROUGH THE KINGS CREEK BOTTOM, HE SEEMED TO BE UPSET THAT THAT WAS REMOVED FROM THE NEW REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION PLAN.
AND SINCE HE IS AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, UH, GUY, HOW DOES THAT ROAD THROUGH THAT SWAMP PLAN IMPACT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FOR COFFEE CITY COFFEE? THAT WAS MY QUESTION.
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT HIS THOUGHT PROCESS, HE WAS CONCERNED THAT IT'S BEEN ON THE MAP FOR SO LONG AND THEN THE NEW REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION PLAN HAS HAS MOVED IT OUT OF THE BOTTOM INTO EITHER THE, THE ROUTE THAT IT IS NOW OR EVEN A MORE EASTERN ROUTE? I CAN TELL YOU THAT IN SPEAKING WITH LEE ABOUT THAT THERE WAS A LOT OF TIME, MONEY, AND RESOURCE INVESTED OVER TIME OVER THE PAST 20 YEARS, RIGHT, UH, DEDICATED TO THAT NORTH, SOUTH CORRIDOR THAT ALL OF A SUDDEN JUST DISAPPEARED, RIGHT? AND, AND ALL HE IS, ALL HE IS SUGGESTING IS IF IT'S, IF IT'S TRULY JUST A LINE ON A MAT, THEN LEAVE IT ON THE MAT AND, AND IF THE, THE WESTERN CORRIDOR DOESN'T MAKE, AT LEAST WE HAVEN'T LOST SIGHT OF THE FACT THAT WE'VE STILL GOT A NORTH SOUTH COURT.
YOU GOT ANY THAT HE TALKED TO? I HAVEN'T TALKED TO MR. HARRIS, BUT I READ THE EMAIL AND INSTEAD OF TRYING TO CORRECT EVERYTHING THAT WAS WRONG IN IT, WE JUST DECIDED TO PUT THE LINE BACK ON THE MAP.
UH, WELL THAT, HOW WILL THAT IMPACT WESTERLY EASTER? SO, SO, UH, I THINK I'M BETTING THAT I'M YOUNGER THAN ANYBODY THAT'S CONCERNED ABOUT THAT ROAD RIGHT NOW, SO I'M JUST GONNA OUT THAT LAST AND OUT LIVE YOU AND THEN WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE.
THE BOTTOM IS NOT A GOOD UH, LOCATION, BUT IF THE CITY CO AND THEIR ECONOMIC ZONE, THE COUNTY SERVER CLAIM IS SHOW A ROUTE THAT CAN GO ON THAT CORRIDOR ORDER, UH, NOT WITHSTANDING
THERE'S NEVER BEEN ANY MONEY ON 34 AT ANY TIME.
I CHECKED THAT, UH, FROM PEACH SIX IN BRECKENRIDGE WITH T STOP IN THE DALLAS DISTRICT.
THERE'S NOT BEEN ANY MONEY ON THAT PROJECT.
UH, YOU'VE GOT TRACY COUNTY, BENTON COUNTY, COLLIN COUNTY, ROCKWELL COUNTY, DALLAS COUNTY, ALL PUSHING THE OUTER ROOF NOW AND SO IS
[00:50:01]
KAMAN.AND WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR ALIGNMENT IS CONSISTENT WITH WHAT OUR NEIGHBOR TO THE NORTH IS DOING AND OUR NEIGHBOR TO THE WELL THAT'S, THAT'S THE REASON FOR OUR REGIONAL IS THE CONNECTIVITY.
SO WE'RE PUTTING THE 34 BACK IN.
PART OF WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO WITH THE NICHOL STUDY IS GET THAT MORE THOROUGHLY, LET EVERYBODY HAVE THEIR STAY IN THE PROCESS.
THEY MAY NOT MAKE THE ANSWER THEY WANT, BUT THEY'LL GET TO PARTICIPATE WHOLLY AND HEARTILY IN THE PROCESS.
OTHER QUESTION ONLY THING I'D SAY TO THE PUBLIC HERE THIS MORNING THAT I'M GLAD Y'ALL ARE HERE, BUT WHEN WE DEVELOPED THIS ROAD BOND PROGRAM AND THIS PLAN, WE LOOKED AT EVERYTHING THAT WE CAN DO TO MAKE, UH, OUR PROPERTIES IN KAMAN COUNTY REALLY WEALTH BECAUSE THEY'RE GONNA COME OUR WAY.
IT'S JUST US HAVING A HANDLE ON HOW IT GOES.
AND THIS IS WHAT WE DID WHEN WE STUDIED ALL THIS, WORKED ON ALL THESE PROGRAM.
SO JUST WANNA CLARIFY THAT Y'ALL AND IT'S ABOUT DEVELOPMENT FOR OUR COUNTY.
SOUND LIKE OUR PLANNING, UH, TIMING IS JUST ALMOST PERFECT FOR THE ADDITIONAL FUNDS IS ON THAT THERE TWO TIMES OF PLANT TREE 20 YEARS AGO AND TODAY, UH, I HAD A COUPLE QUESTIONS AND I KNOW WE NEED TO MOVE ON.
WE GOT NUMBER AND JEFF MAY BE THE BEST ONE TO ASK.
WHERE ARE YOU JEFF? THERE YOU STAND UP AT SPOTS BACK THERE AND THEN PEOPLE KNOW WHO YOU ARE AND THEY SAY THEY WANT CHALLENGE YOU ABOUT.
SO COULD YOU, I KNOW WE HAVE TWO PROJECT OR ONE PROJECT THAT IS UH, I THINK GOING TO BE BID IN THE MONTH OF UH, UH, APRIL OF S FM 34 86.
CAN YOU GIVE US A BRIEF UPDATE ON THAT? YES SIR.
IT'S NEXT WEEK ISN'T IT? AND BRENDA'S THERE WE, I BELIEVE.
SO THAT AND CONSTRUCTION WOULD START CONSTRUCTION TWO TO THREE MONTHS AFTER BIDS.
AND THAT'S THE ROAD THAT CONNECTS 34 86 NORTH OF CARROLL, ABOUT NINE MILES, 9, 8, 6.
UH, AND THEN THE OTHER THING, UH, WE ALL DISCUSSED AT ONE TIME, AND JOHN YOU MADE BE JUMP HERE TOO ABOUT THE CONVERSION OF COUNTY ROAD 3 46, UH, TO A FARM MARKET ROAD THAT WOULD PROGRESS ALL THE WAY THROUGH
CAN SOMEBODY GIVE AN UPDATE ON THAT
SO WE CAN'T BLAME IT ON JEFF OR ANYBODY.
SO WE HAVE TO DO A RESOLUTION REQUESTING, UH, THE STATE TO CONVERT AND ONE OF THE THINGS WE'RE DOING IS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT JUST EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE SIGNING ON FOR BECAUSE WE ARE RESPONSIBLE ONCE WE MAKE THAT REQUEST FOR HUNDRED PERCENT THE COST OF THE RIGHT OF WAY.
SO BEFORE WE DO THE RESOLUTION, WE'RE TRYING TO GET A BETTER FEEL ON WHAT THE VOLUME OF ACREAGE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.
AND THEN WE'RE ALSO COORDINATING WITH VAN Z COUNTY BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO MAKE THE REQUEST CONCURRENT BECAUSE PART OF THAT ROAD IS IN VAN Z COUNTY.
SO THE, THE RESOLUTION'S EASY, IT'S JUST MAKING SURE I KNOW WHAT I'M SUGGESTING.
YOU ORDER GETTING GROUND AND I THINK THERE GONNA BE EFFORT TO STRAIGHTEN OUT SOME OF THOSE CURVES THAT'S PART OF THE RIGHT OF WAY.
IT'S LIKE, UM, YOU TACKLE SAYS HOW YOU HIT GOLF, YOU PUT BALL ON A TEE AND YOU DID IT WITH A CLUB, RIGHT? BUT WHEN I DO IT, IT'S WAY DIFFERENT THAN THE TIGER WOOD DOES.
SO IT'S VERY EASY TO DO THE RESOLUTION AND REQUEST THAN THE PUT ON SYSTEM.
I JUST WANNA KNOW WHAT THE RAMIFICATIONS ARE THAT.
ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? OKAY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
APPRECIATE YOU BEING WITNESS REPORT FOR.
OKAY, THE NEXT ITEM IS ITEM NUMBER FIVE AND THAT HERE FROM CONSTABLE JOHNSON DISCUSS, CONSIDER THE, THAT'S GOOD MOTION.
WE HAVE A MOTION FROM COMMISSIONER PHILLIPS, THE SECOND COMMISSIONER EK TO ACCEPT THE UH, RACIAL PROFILING, THE COURT PRECINCT TWO CONSTABLE'S OFFICE.
[00:55:01]
ITEM NUMBER, UH, FIVE SIX NOW IS FROM MRS. RAT, UH, PRESENT AND FOR US TO ACCEPT THE TAX.FEBRUARY, 2016, YOU HAVE FRESH INFORMATION.
I DID AND EVERYBODY SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN A REFRESH REPORT.
I HAVE A ONE TIME REPORTING OF THE COUNTY THAT I NEED TO MAKE SURE YOU SEE JUST SO THE NUMBERS WILL ADD UP.
AND SO WE'RE SQUARE WITH THE AUDITOR'S OFFICE ON HOWARD ACCOUNTING FOR THE MONEY YOU BROUGHT IN.
SO, UH, THERE IS ON YOUR THE NEW THINGS ON YOUR PAPER, THERE'S A LINE CALLED ADJUSTMENTS AND AN ADJUSTMENTS LINE OVER TO THE RIGHT UNDER THE DELINQUENT RULE THAT, UH, HAD 10,000 MAYORS ADJUSTMENTS THEY HAD TO MADE.
ONCE WE FINISHED OUR TURNOVER OF THE OLD SYSTEM WHERE OUR NEW SYSTEM, THERE WERE SOME OVERPAYMENTS MADE, SO WE HAD TO DO FOR THE ENTIRE COUNTY, WE HAD TO MAKE THE ADJUSTMENTS AND ACCOUNT FOR THAT SOMEWHERE.
SO WE'RE ACCOUNTING FOR IT HERE IN THIS REPORT.
SO, UH, THAT LINE, YOU SHOULD NEVER SEE THIS AGAIN.
THAT'S A ONE TIME ALMOST BANK AND THAT'S DONE.
NOW THE OTHER, UM, UNDER M AND O WHERE YOU HAVE THE $8,182, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT ONLY HAPPENS ONCE A YEAR IN FEBRUARY 'CAUSE THAT'S WHEN WE GET OUR SPECIAL VEHICLE INVENTORY REPORTS COMPLETED.
AND WE KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY THAT SOME OF THE, UH, DEALERSHIPS, UM, MAY HAVE OVERPAID IN TAXES.
THEY'RE REQUIRED TO PAY A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TAXES AND THIS INCLUDES MANUFACTURED HOME DEALERS, FRESH HEAVY EQUIPMENT DEALERS AND EVERYTHING ELSE IN THIS CATEGORY.
BUT IF, AND THEIR, THEIR TAXES ARE BASED ON THE PREVIOUS YEAR'S SALES.
AND ANYWAY, IT BOILS DOWN TO THEY PAY THIS MUCH IF IT TURNS OUT THEY ONLY NEEDED TO PAY THIS MUCH AND WHATEVER'S LEFT GOES TO ALL THE ENTITIES THAT WERE IN THE, THAT, UM, AREA OF THAT DEALERSHIP.
SO THE COUNTY'S PORTION THIS YEAR IS 8,000, WHICH YOU CAN NEVER COUNT ON IT.
IT, WHILE IT FLUCTUATE MAYBE 2000, IT COULD BE 500, COULD BE 20,000 BECAUSE SALES FLUCTUATE.
SO THIS YEAR WE ARE TAKING IN 8,180 AND IT'S JUST A ONE TIME REPORT.
SO THIS LINE YOU WON'T SEE AGAIN, UH, IN THE, UH, ROAD BRIDGE WE TOOK IN $1,449.
SO I JUST WANTED TO EXPLAIN WHAT THOSE, WHERE THOSE MONIES CAME FROM.
NOW, OTHER THAN THAT, OUR COLLECTIONS FOR THIS MONTH, WE COLLECTED, UH, 2.4 MILLION IN THE CURRENT M AND O AND, UH, OVER 200,000 IN DELINQUENT ROLL AND, AND UH, ROAD BRIDGE.
WE COLLECTED $482,860 THIS MONTH WITH, UH, 25,600 AND SOME IN DELINQUENT.
UH, BUT MAYBE YOU INTEREST TO YOU WOULD BE THE ROLLBACK TAXES THIS MONTH, WHICH WE COLLECTED WERE 89.
THEY INCLUDED, UH, SOME ACRES UP HERE IN THE BUCKY'S AREA, ABOUT EIGHT AND A HALF ACRES AROUND THERE.
WE HAD THREE 40 DEVELOPMENTS THAT WERE LIKE HUNDRED 26 AREAS ACRES FOR THREE DIFFERENT AREAS OF DEVELOPMENT.
40, WE HAD, UH, 256 ACRES IN THE CAMP AREA THAT'S GONNA BE USED FOR MINING.
WE HAD, UH, 39 ACRES, UH, OUTSIDE THE CRANDALL AREA FOR HOUSING AND ABOUT 15 ACRES RIGHT HERE, THE COUNTY LINE OF ROCKFALL HOUSING.
SO THAT'S WHERE WE GOT OUR ROLLBACK TAXES THIS TIME.
SO EIGHT 9,000 FOR MO AND THEN WE GOT UM, 10,000 FOR ROAD BRIDGE.
SO OUR COLLECTIONS YEAR TO DATE, UH, 29,570,000 FOR MO AND UM, 558,000 ROAD BRIDGE THERE.
ANY QUESTIONS ON MR. COURT? ANY QUESTIONS OF TAX? THE COURT ROLL TAXES.
ANY ITEM NUMBER? UH, SU IS FROM THE TREASURER TO PRESENT AND ACCEPT THE TREASURER'S FOR FEBRUARY 20 MORNING.
NICE TO SEE SO MANY INTERESTED PEOPLE TODAY.
UH, AS THE JUDGE SAID IN PACK IT WAS OUR FEBRUARY 1ST THROUGH FEBRUARY 29TH, 2016, MONTHLY COUNTY TREASURY REPORT.
THE GENERAL FUND HAD A BEGINNING BALANCE IN 14 5 70
[01:00:03]
RECEIPTS OF 5 3 27, DISBURSEMENTS OF 2,000,003.AND AS UH, HAS BEEN THE CASE PRIOR, ALL OF THE UH, FUNDS ARE AT AMERICAN NATIONAL BANK UNDER OUR DEPOSITORY CONTRACT BANK.
IN ADDITION TO THE GENERAL FUND, WE HIGHLIGHTED THE MONEY MARKET INVESTMENT ACCOUNT THAT HAS 24 8 24 11.
THE ROAD BOND INS IS 6 28 0 3 0 4 9.
AND THEN THE, UH, ROAD BOND CASH THAT MR. POLLSTER, UM, GAVE YOU THE PRESENTATION REGARDING UH, 13 MILLION 5 14 4 0 4, A RIGHT CORNER.
YOU CAN SEE THE INTEREST THAT WAS EARNED AND UM, HOW THAT INTEREST IS ALLOCATED TO THE OTHER FUNDS BASED UPON THEIR LEVEL OF HOLDING RATIO OF HOLD.
ON THE NEXT PAGE OF WE'RE, AS WE DISCUSSED, WE'RE GOING CONTINUE TO LOOK AT OUR TREASURY REPORT TO BUILD IN BEST PRACTICES OF THIS CHART.
ON YOUR NEXT PAGE IS THE, UH, OTHER PROCEEDINGS REPORT.
UH, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT THE ROCKWALL COUNTY TREASURER INCLUDES AND SOME OTHER TREASURERS INCLUDE IN THEIR REPORTS.
I FIND IT INTERESTING THAT UM, IT TELLS YOU THERE ON THE FIRST LINE WE WERE PROCESSED ABOUT 282 RECEIPTS, UM, AP CHECKS WRITTEN AND DISPOSED 6 0 8 IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE ABLE STAFF WITH THE COUNTY AUDITOR WHO DOES THE HEAVY LIFTING ON THAT JUROR CHECKS, PAYROLL CHECKS AND DIRECT DEPOSIT STUBS, HARD COPY CHECKS, DIRECT DEPOSITS, BANK RECONCILIATIONS PERFORM AND ARE THE PLEDGE SECURITIES LISTING THAT AMERICAN NATIONAL PROVIDES TO SECURE.
UM, THE FUNDS HELD UNDER THE DEPOSITORY CONTRACT.
AND THEN WE ROLL INTO THE STANDARD SHEETS WHERE WE SHOW THE CASH RECEIPTS AND DISBURSEMENTS FOR THE FUNDS THAT ARE TO MAKE UP.
THE GENERAL FUND HAS TWO PAGES AND THEN THE THIRD PAGE OF A LIST OF SEPARATE BANK ACCOUNTS AND THEN YOU EACH HAVE YOUR ROAD AND THE OTHER, THE TOPIC HAS BEEN A LARGE CONVERSATION IS OUR LEVY DISTRICTS AND LEVEE DISTRICT SIX ON THE LAKE RAY HUBBARD.
THEY'RE VERY ACTIVE WITH THE CORPS OF ENGINEERS.
UH, THEY WILL PROBABLY REQUEST US THEIR APPROXIMATELY 67,000 I BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE ON DEPOSIT FOR THEM.
AND UM, YOU KNOW, I KNOW THERE'S ONE OLD LEVY DISTRICT, BUT THERE'S BEEN A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF WORK DONE, UM, TO, UH, THANK YOU.
ANYBODY HAVE QUESTIONS FROM THE TREASURER? I'LL A MOTION TO ACCEPT THE TREASURER FOUR PHILLIPS, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALL FAVOR SAY AYE A AND THOSE NEXT IS ITEM NUMBER EIGHT AND THAT IS TO DISCUSS AND CONSIDER WE APPROVING THE KAMAN COUNTY INVESTMENT POLICY.
THE KAUFFMAN COUNTY INVESTMENT POLICY, UH, THAT'S IN YOUR PACKET WAS THE SAME AS HAD BEEN APPROVED LAST YEAR AND THE YEAR BEFORE.
AND I DON'T THINK ANY OF US OR LAWYERS, AND I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG IT'S BEEN SINCE LEGAL COUNSEL HAS REVIEWED THE COUNTY INVESTMENT POLICY AND IF THE COURT CONSIDERS IT APPROPRIATE, IT MIGHT BE A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A REVIEW LIKE THAT PERFORM PRIOR TO THE ADOPTION OF THE POLICY COURT'S DISCRETION.
UH, WHAT'S YOUR PLEASURE? AND I GUESS THAT WOULD BE A QUESTION FOR THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE AS WELL.
UH, IT HASN'T BEEN SUBMITTED OVER TO OFFICE, BUT TAKE A LOOK AT IT.
[01:05:01]
UM, DO YOU HAVE ANOTHER FORM OR SOME AMENDMENTS THAT YOU NO.HOW MANY YEARS HAVE WE USED THE EXISTING POLICY? I KNOW THAT THIS WOULD BE THE THIRD YEAR.
I HAVE RESEARCH BACKWARDS TO SEE HOW MANY YEARS THIS POLICY HAS BEEN SET.
WELL HOW ABOUT, I MEAN, IF YOU WOULD LIKE, WE CAN TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND MAYBE GET SOME A HE'S LOOKING FOR MAYBE NO, IT, THERE'S NOTHING DRIVING IT OTHER THAN TIME, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW ANY PARTICULAR WEAKNESS OR IN THE POLICY, BUT I'M NOT A, YOU KNOW, I'M NOT A LAW LAWYER AND I KNOW HOW TIME MARCH IS ON.
AND WOULD YOU LIKE FOR US TO TABLE THIS UNTIL SHE HAS THE TIME DAS THAT WOULD THAT WORK WITH, WITH THE DA'S OFFICE? OKAY.
WHEN, WHEN DOES OUR, DOES OUR EXISTING POLICY EXPIRED? THE STATUTE JUST SAYS, UH, RENEW THE POLICY AT LEAST.
OKAY, SO WE HAVE A MOTION TO, UH, NEED THIS.
WE JUST PROBABLY NEED TO START WHEN WE GET, IT'LL BE OUR ANNUAL REVIEW DATE.
SO WE'LL CREATE THAT DATE BY REVIEWING AT THIS TIME WE'LL PULL ALL THE POLICIES FROM AND THEN ADVISE AND THEN WE'LL BE ALLOWED TO WORK.
ALRIGHT, WE HAVE A MOTION FROM COMMISSIONER ALLEN AT THE TABLE.
COMMISSIONER PHILLIPS, ANY OTHER DISCUSSIONS? ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.
OPPOSED? UH, THEN ITEM NUMBER NINE IS FROM THE TREASURER TO REVIEW EXAMPLES OF APPROVAL FOR PAYMENT DOCUMENTATION FILED, RECORDED ON COUNTY BILLS SUBMITTED TO THE AUDITOR PAYMENT DISCUSSED AND CONSIDERING THE STYLE OF APPROVAL, WHICH BEST ACHIEVE THE COURT'S DOCUMENTATION JUDGES, JUDGE, DO YOU TYPICALLY SLIDE ONE? YOU KNOW, YOU COULD SEE FROM THE TREASURER REPORT, UM, FOR THE NUMBER OF CHECKS WRITTEN THAT DOESN'T, UM, NEAR ACCOUNT FOR ALL THE INDIVIDUAL BILLS THAT THE AUDITOR STAFF, UM, REVIEW.
AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S A TREMENDOUS UNDERTAKING AND, UH, IT, IT, IT GOES ALONG JUST SMOOTHLY.
BUT THE GOAL OF THIS PRESENTATION IS JUST TO ILLUSTRATE FOR THE COMMISSION'S COURT THE STYLES OF APPROVALS THAT WE ENCOUNTER.
IT'S JUST TO COMMUNICATE COMMUNICATION IS A VERY, VERY DIFFICULT THING.
AND, UM, A COMMUNICATION THAT WAS GIVEN TO ME ON THURSDAY, I DIDN'T READ CLEARLY.
I DIDN'T READ THE COMMUNICATION CLEARLY.
AND SO I KNOW FIRSTHAND HOW DIFFICULT COMMUNICATING, UH, INFORMATION IS.
UM, THE FIRST TIME YOU'RE GOING TO SEE IS WHERE THERE'S AN APPROVAL STAMP SPECIFIC TO THE ELECTED OFFICIAL OR DEPARTMENT WITH DATES, SIGNATURES, INITIALS, ACCOUNT CODING, SOME OR ALL OF THAT INFORMATION.
HERE'S ONE OUT OF, UH, PRECINCT ONE.
AND YOU CAN SEE IN THE UPPER PART, IF I WAS FANCY AND I HAVE A LITTLE RED CORNER, I POINT YOU UP THERE TO THE FRONT CENTER, COFF COUNTY PRECINCT ONE.
UM, HERE'S A COUPLE OUTTA PRECINCT TWO, YOU CAN SEE CLEARLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DOCUMENT.
UM, THE COMMISSIONER, UH, CIRCLE HIS INITIALS LOTS, ENC CODE.
UH, HERE'S OUTTA THE PRECINCT.
UH, THREE ON THE LOWER LEFT, YOU CAN SEE WHERE AN EMPLOYEE HAS ACCEPTED, UH, DELIVERY OF THE GOODS.
AND THEN THE CENTER LOWER DOCUMENTS, YOU CAN SEE WHERE THERE'S A COMMISSIONER STAMP, THERE'S FOUR AGAIN.
ON THE LOWER LEFT YOU CAN SEE EMPLOYEE SIGNATURE ACCEPTING.
AND THEN IN THE CENTER LOWER YOU CAN SEE THE WHAT YOUR STAMP, THE APPROVAL.
UH, HERE'S ANOTHER EXAMPLE OUT OF THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT, UM, CENTER UPPER PART, YOU CAN SEE THE STAMP SIGNATURES INSTRUCTIONS.
HERE'S ANOTHER ONE OUT OF THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT.
UH, YOU CAN SEE THERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PAGE THE STAMP SIGNATURE DATE AND INSTRUCTIONS.
UH, THIS ONE HAPPENED TO HAVE A PURCHASE ORDER WITH THE DOCUMENTS AND, YOU KNOW, PURCHASE ORDER SAYS THAT IT WAS ALLOWED TO BE ORDERED.
IT DOESN'T TELL US IF THE GOODS WERE RECEIVED.
UH, SECOND TYPE OF APPROVAL IS A GENERIC APPROVAL STAND
[01:10:01]
IN ACCOMPANYING SIGNATURE.AND HERE YOU CAN SEE IN THE LOWER THIRD IN THE CENTER, YOU CAN SEE AN APPROVAL STAMP.
YOU CAN SEE AN APPROVAL SIGNATURE AND UM, PROBABLY THAT'S AN AUDITOR'S ACCOUNT CODING.
I KNOW THEY SPEND A LOT OF TIME.
THERE'S ONE THAT PURCHASE ORDER WITH IT.
AND THEN THE THIRD TYPE OF APPROVAL STYLE WE ENCOUNTER, SIGNATURES, DATES, OTHER INFORMATION, VARYING DEGREES, CLARITY, YOU KNOW, HERE'S AN, UH, AN INVOICE.
UM, ON THE LOWER CENTER YOU CAN SEE, UH, A COUPLE OF FLARES.
AGAIN, IT'S JUST A POOR COPY'S MUCH MORE LEVEL LEGIBLE ON THE ORIGINAL BILL.
AND YOU CAN SEE THERE'S A CHECK ON HERE ON APPROVAL.
AND THE LOWER RIGHT HAND, YOU KNOW, THE AUDITOR'S VERY DILIGENT ABOUT NOTING WHEN THEY RECEIVE SOMETHING IN THEIR OFFICE.
SO THERE, THERE'S STAMPS, UH, THERE'S A SEPARATE PAGE OF THAT BILL.
THEN HERE'S ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF OF THE LOWER RIGHT HAND CORNER, UH, CLEAR SIGNATURE INSTRUCTIONS DATED.
AND THEN THE FOURTH TYPE OF APPROVAL STYLE IS THAT, YOU KNOW, AN INFORMAL APPROVAL STYLE, WHICH MUCH OF IT WE ALREADY AGREE WITH, YOU KNOW, WHERE THAT APPROVAL STYLE IS.
UTILITY BILLS COME IN, UTILITIES BILLS GET PAID.
WATER, ELECTRIC GAS, UH, TELEPHONE BILLS.
HERE'S A BILL THAT COMES FROM, UH, JOHN POLLSTER.
UH, THIS BILL COMES TO US FROM JOHN INSTRUCTIONS TO PAY.
AND YOU KNOW, I GET THESE AND, AND I'VE JUST NOT HAD ANY INDICATION THAT ANYONE IN ELECTED OFFICIAL OR DEPARTMENT HEAD HAS, HAS SEEN.
AND HERE'S ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THAT STYLING.
THESE ARE LARGE DOLLAR VALUE CHECKS NORMALLY.
UM, HERE'S A CHECK THAT COMES IN.
UM, THIS HAPPENS TO BE, I THINK THE CARPET ON THE, UH, THAT'S GONNA GO HERE IN THE ANNEX.
AND AGAIN, IT JUST NOT ANY INDICATION WHERE IT'S STORED THAT THERE ARE COUNTY EMPLOYEE ELECTED OFFICIAL OR DEPARTMENT HEAD CHECKED IT IN OR ANYTHING, OR ANY APPROVAL.
UH, IT DID HAVE A PURCHASE ORDER WITH IT.
UM, NOT ANY INDICATION FOR US LOOKING AT PROCEED PROVE WHERE IS, UH, RESIGNED.
SO I JUST WANTED TO SHARE THAT WITH YOU AS TO, AS THE AUTHOR AND I, UH, TRY TO BE PEOPLE PLEASERS PROCESS PAYMENTS, THEY HAVE PROCESS PAYMENTS HIGHLY ACCURATELY.
UH, I AM SELF-PROFESSED, I AM PICKY.
AND UM, YOU KNOW, I TRY TO PAY AS MUCH ATTENTION TO $2 OR FOUR AND 99 CENTS AS I DO 14,000.
SO ANY POINTS OF DISCUSSION Y'ALL HAVE? THAT'S MY PRESENTATION.
WE STANDARDIZE OR AUDITOR, SHOULD WE STANDARDIZE SOME TYPE OF YOU'RE WELCOME.
YOU KNOW, WHEN I CAME HERE IN, UM, APRIL, 2012, WE HAD A LOT, LOT OF ISSUES, LOT, A LOT OF FINDINGS.
I'VE GONE 'EM OFF YOUR AUDIT REPORT.
I'VE HELPED GET YOUR CREDIT REPORT, CREDIT RATING UP.
AND I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO SAY EXCEPT YOU NEED TO READ THIS BECAUSE I'M ON TO FILE THE STATUTE.
THE COUNTY AUDITOR HAS AUTHORITY.
THEY HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE SURE THINGS WERE CODED CORRECTLY AND THAT THIS COUNTY IS SAFEGUARDED.
THERE ARE ASSETS, SOMETIMES THE LAWS
[01:15:01]
HAVEN'T BEEN FOLLOWED.AND REGARDING THE COUNTY AUDITOR AUDITS ALL OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, INCLUDING THE COUNTY TREASURER'S REPORT BEFORE YOU ACCEPT IT.
SO YOU'RE OUT OF COMPLIANCE BY NOT HAVING ANY CERTIFIED IS CORRECT.
YOUR COUNTY TREASURER, I MEAN, COUNTY TAX ASSESSOR PER REPORT WAS NOT AGREEMENT.
MY GENERAL EFFORT, SHE PUT THOSE ADJUSTMENTS IN BECAUSE I'M FINANCIALLY TRANSPARENT.
SHE PUT THOSE ADJUSTMENTS IN THERE FOR, AND THAT'S ALL I'VE GOTTA SAY.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM ANYBODY OR ANY ACTION ANYBODY WOULD LIKE TO TAKE ON THIS ITEM? RONNIE, ARE YOU ASKING FOR ANY? NO, NO.
AGAIN, ALL I WANT TO DO IS JUST REALLY COMPLIMENT THE STAFF BECAUSE SHE, SHE'S, BUT IN FAIRNESS, IT IS UP TO THE COURT TO DETERMINE, YOU KNOW, WHETHER THE DOCUMENTATION THAT SUITS Y'ALL, YOU KNOW, I'M HERE TO SIGN THE CHECKS, YOU KNOW, I'VE GOT RESPONSIBILITY TO SIGN THE CHECKS THAT THE COURT'S APPROVED.
BUT I DO GET TO ASK QUESTIONS.
I, I GUESS MY QUESTION WOULD BE TO THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE, AND I DON'T KNOW, I'M SURE YOU LOVE DOING THIS, BUT I'M NOT SURE WHAT WE NEED TO DO IF THERE IS SOMETHING WE NEED TO DO AT THIS POINT.
WAS THERE AN ACCIDENT? WHAT I'M HEARING, I'M, I'M NOT HEARING THERE'S A PROBLEM.
I'M JUST HEARING WHAT THE AUDITOR POINTED OUT IS SOME OF THE ISSUES THAT WERE BROUGHT UP.
AND MR. OPAL'S POSITION IS THAT HE'S COMPLIMENTING IS HER, WHAT I JUST HEARD HIM SAY IS THAT IF YOU LOOK AT WHAT SHE SAYS, SHE, WHAT THE STATUTE, NOT WHAT SHE SAYS SHE HAS AUTHORITY OVER, MAYBE WHAT HE'S SAYING IS NOT RELEVANT TO WHAT HE'S DOING.
I, I, I GUESS, I MEAN, THIS IS THE FIRST BLUSH.
I'M HEARING IT THIS MORNING, SO I DON'T, I CAN ONLY HEAR AND READ PRETTY QUICKLY.
AND IT SAYS SHE'LL HAVE ACCESS, EXAMINE, INVESTIGATING, HAS ALL OF HER AUTHORITY, GIVES THE GOVERNMENT CODE TELLS HER EXACTLY WHAT HER RESPONSIBILITIES ARE.
SO WHEN YOU ASK ABOUT UNIFORMITY AND HOW THINGS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE DONE, I THINK WE, WE SHOULD BE TALKING TO OUR AUDITOR ABOUT THAT.
THIS IS, I THINK, WITHIN HER PURVIEW.
IS THAT WHAT I'M UNDERSTANDING, KAREN? YES, MA'AM.
THAT'S, I MEAN, I, I DON'T KNOW.
I'VE BEEN TALKING MR. OLD THIS MORNING EXCEPT SAYING THE MORNING AND THEN, SO IT'S JUST READING WHAT THE LAW SAYS.
AND SO I, IF I'M THE AUDITOR, I GUESS THE QUESTION IS WHY IS HE MAKING THE PRESENTATION? BUT I DON'T KNOW.
I MEAN, IT'S NOT A LEGAL ISSUE.
NO, I'M NOT, I'M NOT ASKING TO TAKE AN ACTION.
SO I'M ANSWERING WHAT HE SAID.
AND I, I THOUGHT HE DID HAVE ON HERE ABOUT, UH, DISCUSS AND CONSIDER THE STYLES, UH, CONSIDER REMAIN ACTIONS.
BUT THAT WOULD BE, IT DOES SEEM TO ME THAT ONE THING THAT COULD BE DONE, MAYBE THE COMMUNICATION, UH, IF, IF YOUR REPORT NEEDS TO BE APPROVED BY THE AUDITOR BEFORE IT COMES TO THE COMMISSIONER'S COURT, UH, THAT THAT IS SOMETHING THAT LAW NEEDS TO HAPPEN.
THAT WAS MY FOLLOW UP AND I, I APPRECIATE THE SHARING.
COMMERS, DO Y'ALL HAVE ANY, ANY QUESTIONS OR ANY COMMENTS THAT YOU'D LIKE TO PASS ON? WELL, I, I'D LIKE TO SEE SOME TYPE OF APPROVAL OF STANDARDIZED BILL, MAYBE BETWEEN AUDITORY AND SO THAT EVERY BILL GETS SIGNED OFF TO MAKE SURE WHATEVER WE'RE PAYING RECEIVED, WHATEVER OIL OR GAS OR, OR RAW MATERIALS, SERVERS OR MATERIAL, WHATEVER, I'D LIKE TO SEE JUST A GOOD POLICY.
AND COMMISSIONER DOG, IF YOU FLIP TO PAGE TWO OF THIS, UNDER PRESCRIPTIVE, IT SAYS THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE AND CITE ONE 12 AND THE COUNTY WITH THE POPULATION OF LESS THAN 190,000, THE COUNTY AUDITOR MAY ADOPT AND ENFORCE REGULATIONS NOT INCONSISTENT WITH LAW OR WITH THE RULE ADOPTED UNDER THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE THAT THE AUDITOR CONSIDERS NECESSARY TO SPEED PROPER COLLECTIONS CHECK IN ACCOUNTING.
AND SO IF YOU'RE SOMETHING THAT YOU'RE ASKING HER TO LOOK AT, SHE HAS GOT THE AUTHORITY AND CAN CREATE THOSE REGULATIONS AS IT'S SET OUT FOR HER UNDER ONE 12.
AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT SHE WAS A LITTLE CONFUSED ABOUT THE PRESENTATION BECAUSE IF YOU'RE DIRECTING SOMEONE TO DO IT WOULD BE HER.
AND THEN OF COURSE YOU PROBABLY, YOU KNOW, WANT THE TREASURER TO PROVE THAT, BUT ULTIMATELY COME BACK AND THEN YOU WOULD KNOW WHAT HER PRESCRIP IT WAS.
[01:20:01]
I CAN SEE MATERIALS OR WHATEVER WE'RE BUYING SIGNED OFF ON BY SOMETHING.BUT I THINK PEOPLE IN THEIR INDIVIDUAL ROLE MAY CARE YOU AND I DON'T CARE.
ALSO, IF YOU REMEMBER WHEN THE CARPET CAME UP AND WE PAID FOR IT, I PULLED PO TO LET YOU KNOW, MR. SEBASTIAN, THE PURCHASING AGENT THAT HAS RETIRED WAS HERE.
HE TOLD YOU THAT THE CARPET HAD BEEN STORED OUT AT, I BELIEVE THE SOUTH CAMPUS OR SOMEPLACE TILL THEY COULD GET THE WALLS PAINTED, RAN INTO THE MOLD SITUATION AND JACK WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT.
WE HAVE WORKED NOW IN ANOTHER METHOD WITH ITS WHEN WE FIRST STARTED WITH ITS, MR. POLLSTER, HE WAS STILL MEETING WITH Y'ALL INDIVIDUALLY, NOT TO INTERRUPT THE, OR NOT BE COMPLIANT WITH THE MEETING ACT, SO Y'ALL WOULD KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.
JUDGE WOOD NOW IS GONNA BE SIGNING AND APPROVING THOSE AT S INVOICES, I MEAN ITS.
AND SO THAT, UH, WILL BE TAKEN CARE OF.
THAT CLARIFY THAT, THAT WILL CORRECT ANY DUPLICATION INVOICE.
ANY ACTION ON PART OF THE COURT? WE'LL MOVE RIGHT ON TO ITEM NUMBER 10, AND THAT IS TO RECEIVE AN UPDATE FROM THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT INSTALLATION.
YEAH, WE, I HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING, UM, ABOUT THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SYSTEM SO FAR.
I'VE PREPARED, I, I GUESS WHAT THE ITEM WAS, WAS THE INSULATION AND OF THAT, UH, I DIDN'T PREPARE THE REST, THE STUFF FOR, WITH THE INTER AGREEMENT THAT'S BEING WORKED ON.
I KNOW CITY'S OFFICES WORKING THAT OUT AS
I DIDN'T BRING THAT, UH, DOCUMENTATION.
UH, BUT THE OTHER PART IS THE UPDATE FROM THURSDAY, UH, THIS LAST THURSDAY, UH, FROM HARRIS COMMUNICATION IS THE PROPOSED DATE, UH, FOR DISPATCH.
THERE'S NO SCHEDULE IMPACT ISSUES AT THIS POINT.
THE MICROWAVE AND FIBER NETWORK, UH, ARE INSTALLED AND TESTED.
UH, FINAL SYSTEM TESTING FOR THE MICROWAVE IS IN PROGRESS AS WE SPEAK.
TEST IS IN OPTIONAL, UH, OPERATIONAL WORKING.
UH, SOME MINOR ISSUES IN LOGGING.
UH, THE GATEWAY, THE INTEROPERABLE GATEWAY IS INSTALLED.
UH, ONE OF THE ENGINEERS IS PERFORMING ALL THE TESTS THIS MORNING ON IT.
THE FOUR HARRIS RADIOS ARE READY TO TRANSMIT, ALONG WITH THE THREE OTHER RADIOS AND LOCK INSTALLED AND TESTING NEXT WEEK.
UH, THE CABLES FOR THE, UH, REMAINING MOTOROLA RADIOS ARE READY FOR TESTING AND THAT'S WHERE INTEROPERABILITY, UH, WITH THE OTHER AGENCIES AROUND US.
UH, SO FAR THE, SO, UH, SITE INSTALLMENT AT THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE IS TRANSMITTING.
UH, THE ELMO SITE IS IN PROGRESS AND SHOULD BE TRANSMITTING, UH, WE HOPE BY TODAY.
THE COMBINE SITE IS INSTALLING, UH, IT'S NOT UP.
UH, WE'RE HOPING WE'LL HAVE THAT UP IN, IN A COUPLE WEEKS AND THEN, UH, TARGET THE NEXT TWO WEEKS, UH, FOR COVERAGE AND TESTING.
AND THEN WE'RE HOPING IN MID APRIL, OR IF NOT COURTS END OF APRIL, WE'LL BE SIGNING OFF ON ALL GRIEVANCE THAT WE'RE MEETING ALL THE, UH, PERCENTAGES THAT HARRIS HAS PUT IN THEIR CONTRACT.
I KNOW MR. SLY, YOU MENTIONED THE OTHER DAY YOU WERE, YOU WERE READY FOR US TO GET UP AND GOING.
AS SOON AS WE GET THE AGREEMENT AND GET IT ALL READY TO GO, WE'RE CLOSE.
WE, WE GOT JUST A VERY MINOR ISSUE THAT WE'RE GONNA DEAL WITH THIS WEEK.
AND I THINK WE'LL BE READY TO ROLL.
WE'RE GONNA TRYING WORK OUT AND GET EVERYBODY ONCE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS.
SO, AND APRIL WE'LL BE DISPATCH INSPECTION OUT THERE.
WE'RE, WE'RE SHOOTING TO HAVE CODE OVER DAY FOR OURS OVER THERE BY THE, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE SHOOTING FOR.
YOU KNOW, WE SHOULD HAVE DONE IN SOME DEGREE WITH ALL THE OTHER ISSUES WE HAD WITH TRYING TO GET THE PUT OUT THERE IN THE ROAD, WHICH COMMISSIONER HELPED US A LOT ON THAT TO GET A CRANE IN THERE TO LIFT THAT BUILDING.
IT TOOK US A WHILE TO GET THAT SET UP.
[01:25:01]
SO IF EVERYTHING GOES AS WELL, THE PLAN IS INSPECT.AND I BELIEVE, UH, IT'S GONNA BE DIFFICULT.
WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO DO THE BEST WE CAN FORWARD.
I THINK OUR BIG CONCERN IS TRYING TO GET THE UP ON ARE WE GONNA BE ON THE NARROW? WE'VE BEEN ON NARROW BAND FOR, FOR OVER A YEAR AND A HALF NOW.
NO, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT DIGITAL.
SO WHEN IS THAT GONNA BE OPERATION? YES, THAT'S EVERYTHING.
WE'RE HAVE ALL THE RADIO INSTALLED IN YOUR, WE'RE WORKING ON THAT NOW.
WE'RE, WE'RE ALREADY MEETING PROGRAM, CORRECT.
AND THEY SHOULD BE GETTING THE FIRE DEPARTMENTS IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS, UH, TO MEET WITH THEM TO GET THEM INSTALLED.
SO WE'RE WORKING IT OUT AS FAST AS POSSIBLE.
OTHER QUESTIONS? UH, I NUMBER, UH, 11 IS TO RECEIVE A YEAR TO DATE UPDATE REVENUE REPORT FROM THE OFFICER'S OFFICE RELATED TO THE A TS PROGRAM.
UM, YOU GOT THE REPORT EMAILED TO YOU.
UM, THIS WAS, UM, REQUESTED BY COMMISSIONER LIK, SO WE WENT BACK TO, UH, THE BEGINNING OF WHEN OUR CONTRACT STARTED AND CARRIED IT THROUGH AS OF FEBRUARY, 2016.
WE HAVEN'T RECEIVED ALL OF OUR INFORMATION FOR MARCH, 'CAUSE IT'S NOT THE END OF MARCH YET.
BUT, UM, ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? BECAUSE AT THE END OF SEPTEMBER, UH, 2015, UH, WE HAD CLEARED UP $69,714 AFTER WE PAID OUR FEES TO A TS AND, UH, WHAT WAS RECORDED IN OUR REVENUE.
SO THEN WE CARRIED THAT FIGURE OVER, UH, ON THE SHEET.
SO YOU COULD SEE, UH, A GRAND TOTAL AGGREGATE TOTAL OVER THE MONTHS THROUGH DECEMBER.
I MEAN FEBRUARY 16 OF $149,009 AND 60.
AGAIN, MY MAIN CONCERN IS, UM, CONTRACT OBLIGATIONS, REALLY CONCERNED ACCORDING TO MY NUMBERS, USING THE CONTRACT NUMBER, YOUR NUMBER USING THE REVENUE WE RECEIVED, UM, BY MY CALCULATIONS, UP TO END OF FEBRUARY, 2016, WHERE THE DEFICIT OF 497,000, AND THAT'S NOT TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION THE SCHOOL BUS CAMERAS THAT, DOES ANYBODY KNOW HOW MANY SCHOOL BUS CAMERAS WE HAVE? I UNDERSTAND.
I'M NOT SURE, REBECCA, SHOULD WE BE DISCUSSING THIS IN AN OPEN SESSION SINCE, UH, WE'VE NOT DONE THAT IN THE PAST BECAUSE OF THE ONGOING NEGOTIATION WITH AT TS FOR YOUR NOTICE LATER TO HAVE THE DISCUSSIONS.
UH, LET ME UNDERSTAND THIS QUESTION SPECIFICALLY.
DOES IT RELATE TO THE REPORT THAT SHE'S PRINTED OUT AND NUMBERS THAT COME OUT WITHIN THAT REPORT? UH, UH, NOT WITH HER.
IT RELATES TO OUR, THEN, THEN IN THAT CASE, NOT RELATED TO THE AGENDA ITEM POSTED IN THOSE.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? DO YOU HAVE ANY, UH, NO REST OF OUR DISCUSSION.
ALL THE NEXT ITEM IS, UH, TO DISCUSS, CONSIDER APPROVING THE COUNTY ORGANIZATIONAL CHART.
[01:30:05]
COMMISSIONER KIND OF MADE ONE, GET ONE ON COURT ON I'VE OVER ANYTHING, ANY DEPARTMENT.YOU DON'T HAVE COURT COLLECTIONS REQUIRED BY THE STATE COURT COLLECTIONS? ISN'T THAT UNDER COUNTY COURT? COUNTY COURT UNDER, THAT'S UNDER A LENGTH ELECTION.
IT'S, IT'S AN OFFICE REQUIRED BY THE STATE FOR THE COUNTY.
SO UNDERNEATH MY OFFICE, JUST LIKE ELECTIONS IS UNDERNEATH THE TAX FORTH, IT USED TO BE, IF IT'S NOT A SEPARATE, ACTUALLY HAVE A SEPARATE BUDGET ITEM.
YOU SEE, I'M, AND I THINK ALL SHE'S SAYING IS THAT MS, SHE JURISDICTION NUMBER CASES THAT ARE BEYOND A COUNTY COURT, I THINK SHE DOES SOME COLLECTIONS FOR DISTRICT COURT, BUT NJP ONE TO AGREE.
I THINK WE, IT GIVES YOU A PLACE TO GO FOR, I JUST, I WOULD THINK IF I HAVE A DISTRICT COURT CASE AND I START THINKING, WHERE AM I GONNA GO TO COLLECTIONS? I'M GONNA LOOK AND SAY, OH, IT'S YOUR COURT, BUT IT'S HAVE THE BUBBLE AND IT SAYS COURT COLLECTION, THEN MAYBE.
YEAH, BUT I'M JUST SAYING THAT DON'T WE PICKED THINGS THAT ACTUALLY ONLY QUESTION I WOULD HAVE IS ON EMERGENCY DECLARATIONS OF THE COUNTY.
JUDGE DOES, IS THERE ANY CONSIDERATION OF PUTTING UM, EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT UNDER COUNTY? JUDGE? IT IS THERE.
OH, YOU GUYS HAVE UPDATED ANYBODY.
GO AHEAD AND APPROVE WITH THE ADDITION OF, UH, THE COURT COLLECTIONS, UH, BEING UNDER THE COUNTY CLERK.
ANYBODY HAVE ANY OBJECTIONS TO THAT? SO HAVE A MOTION.
COMMISSIONER ALLEN DISCUSSION.
ALL IN FAVOR? THANK GENTLEMEN.
NEXT IS TO DISCUSS, DISCUSS THAT ON NUMBER 13, SETTING A DAY BEFORE THE ANNUAL COUNTYWIDE CLEAN UP AND ADVERTIS TRASH.
THIS IS ITEM THAT ALWAYS INTEREST IN THE COUNTY.
YOU GUYS WORK HARD AS WELL, A NUMBER PEOPLE PUTTING IT TOGETHER.
SO IS TO DISCUSS THE, UH, DATE AND DO WEEK BEFORE MOTHER'S DAY OR THE AFTER? NO, IT'S ABOUT THREE WEEKS HALF.
BUT THE THING OF IT'S IS, I DON'T KNOW IF EVERYBODY AWARE WE'VE HAD LESS AND LESS PARTICIPATION FOR VENDORS FOR THE POLL.
WE HAVE A VERY, VERY DIFFICULT TIME GETTING ANYBODY TO ANSWER.
WE PUT OUT OUR BID AND A LOT OF THAT WE HAVE FOUND OUT, WELL, OBVIOUSLY THE CONSOLIDATION, THE BIG ONES OF LOCAL LITTLE ONES.
[01:35:01]
VENDORS TO CHOOSE FROM.AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE THE CITIES THAT WAIT UNTIL WE SET OUR DATE AND THEN THEY SET THEIR DATE ACCORDINGLY.
AND THEY ALREADY HAVE CONTRACTS IN PLACE FOR THESE BIG VENDORS.
SO IT'S NOT ALLOWING THOSE VENDORS TO HAVE ENOUGH MANPOWER AROUND TO ACCOMMODATE OUR NEEDS AS WELL.
SO THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS FOR THE LACK OF PARTICIPATION.
MANPOWER, THEY DON'T HAVE ENOUGH.
WE CALL CLEAN UP EVERY 30 YARD.
CAN WE COULD IF WE BROKE IT INTO FOUR DISTRICTS AND DID THEM IN SEPARATE WEEKS.
I DUNNO IF WE'VE TALKED ABOUT, WELL, I, TODAY ABOUT LAST YEAR, WE, IN EACH CITY, WE'LL GIVE YOU 5,000 YOUR CANS.
BUT THE CITY, UH, LET'S GO BACK TO ONE OTHER PERSON HERE.
FIRST THING WE GOTTA DO OVER HERE, YOU KNOW, WHEN THERE, UH, FEMA WILL BE TRUCKS? NO, SIR.
AND I DON'T THINK IT'LL BE ANY TIME SHARPLY THAT THEY'LL BE ABLE TO DECIDE.
UH, HE'S DEALING WITH FEMA FUNDS TO FIX THE BRIDGE AND ALL THAT.
SO I MOTHER DAY, JUST SO ANYBODY THAT MAKES ANY DIFFERENT THERE, MAYBE EIGHT.
WE DO HAVE THAT, BUT IT'S OBVIOUS.
MY CONCERN, WE'RE GONNA HAVE MORE AND MORE TRASH SHOW UP ON OUR ACCOUNT ROAD.
YEAH, WE'RE NOT, NOT ARGUING THAT.
WE'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT A WAY AROUND.
I'M TELLING YOU EVERYBODY, YOU CAN'T.
THEY THEY DUMP, BUT THEY STILL HAVE TO COME HERE AND PUT THEM DOWN.
WELL, THAT'S BEEN A BIG ISSUE.
YOU KNOW, Y'ALL NEED, THEY DON'T, ORDER OF BUSINESS WOULD BE TO SET AND SEE IF TAKING THAT OUT, ANYBODY.
AND THEN IF YOU MAKE IT MANDATORY, THEN, UH, WHAT ARE WE DOWN NOW? MANY LAST YEAR WE HAD 10.
ONE WAS JUST KIND OF, AND ONE OF THEM COULDN'T EVEN DO.
BUT PART OF FRIDAY, AND IT'S BEEN COMES IN LIKE CITY HAS CONTRACT TALKING HAS CONTRACT.
NO OTHER PERSON WANTS TO DRIVE ALL THE WAY OUT THERE WHEN THE CITY HAS A CONTRACT, THEY DON'T ALREADY, THEIR TRUCKS AREN'T ALREADY AT, I MEAN, WE'VE RUN INTO A LOT OF PROBLEMS. I MEAN, EVEN C YOU KNOW, THEY HELPED SOME AND THEY WERE ABLE TO PUT OUT, SO I THINK THEY WERE ABLE, WE ENDED UP HAVING TWO DIFFERENT VENDORS DO, COULDN'T GET ENOUGH.
AND THEN YEARS AGO GETTING STUFF UP, IT BEEN MONTHS GET THE ACTION ITEM
[01:40:01]
IS TO DISCUSS ADVERTISEMENT DID.OKAY, SO YOU, I'M MAKING A MOTION.
AND SEE WHERE WE, WE GO FROM A SECOND.
DO YOU WE GO VOTE ALL IN, SAY THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
NUMBER 14 IS TO DISCUSS, CONSIDER A THREE MONTH RENTAL PURCHASE OPTION FOR, FOR CRACK UTILIZING FIVE CONTRACT 13 PRECINCT.
UH, COMMISSIONER MAY HAVE A SECOND FROM COMMISSIONER ALLEN.
I, I KNOW WE NEED TO TAKE A BREAK HERE.
I'D LIKE TO GO AHEAD AND TAKE A COUPLE OF OTHER ITEMS IF EVERYBODY'S OKAY WITH THAT.
UH, ITEM NUMBER 15 IS TO DISCUSS AND CONSIDER AN ORDER FINDING POSSESSION OF FIREARMS AND THE COUNTY COURTHOUSE AND OFFICE BUILDINGS.
UH, BELIEVE THAT, UH, WAS SPEAK TO THAT JUDGE WHI OVER A REQUEST TO DO AN ORDER KIND OF DEFINING WHERE OR WHAT PREMISE IS WITHIN THE STATUTE THAT PROHIBITS FIREARMS AROUND THE COURTHOUSE BUILDING.
AND EACH OF OUR JUDGES, OUR JPS AND THEY BOTH OUR COUNTY COURT AND OUR DISTRICT COURT JUDGES SIGNED ORDERS FOR THEIR COURT DEFINING THOSE PLACES.
AND THEN I WENT AHEAD AND THE ORDER JUST IN GENERAL FOR THE COURT TO DECIDE AND DEFINE AND ADOPT THOSE ORDERS SAYING THAT WE ALSO CONSIDER THE SAME PLACE, UM, AS WHERE THESE WEAPONS SHOULD BE PROHIBITED, IS WHAT THE JUDGES ARE TELLING US AS WELL.
AND THEN IT SHOULD BE PUT IN YOUR PACKET.
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS? I'VE GOT THE HERE FOR US TO SIGN HAS ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS? SO IT'S STILL UP TO EACH JUDGE TO DETERMINE WHAT AREA REGULATED.
SO, SO WHAT THIS DOES IT PIGGYBACK ON ORDERS THAT THEY'VE ALREADY DETERMINED.
IF YOU FLIP TO THE BATH PAGE WHERE IT SAYS, UM, THEY SIGN EXHIBIT A SAYING THAT YOU COULDN'T, THEY'RE DEFINING ITS COURTROOM, THE CHAMBERS, THE COURTS OFFICE, RESTROOMS AND HALLWAYS LOBBY THESE COMMON AREAS AND DOES THE SAME THING FOR THE JPS AS WELL AS, AND THEN IN THE DISTRICT THEY ADD, UM, DISTRICT CLERK'S, OFFICE COUNTY CLERK'S, OFFICE GRAND JURY ROOMS. AND I THINK BECAUSE OF OUR SPECIFIC FACT ISSUE WHERE OUR COURTHOUSE IS ALL ONE LEVEL AND EVERYTHING'S MIXED TOGETHER, IT'S VERY HARD TO BREAK OFF CERTAIN AREAS THAT AREN'T USED BY THE COURT.
AND DO YOU GUYS REMEMBER OUR PRIOR CONVERSATIONS WERE ABOUT THE FLOW BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WERE CONFINED WITH PEOPLE'S ABILITY TO CARRY AND WE KIND OF HAD A LITTLE, I THINK DON'T HAD A WORKSHOP OR WE HAD A MEETING OR SOMETHING AND THE JPS AND WE JUST DON'T HAVE A FLOW.
UM, AND THE NEWARK COURTHOUSES, THE JUDGES ARE SEPARATE FROM THE PUBLIC WHO ARE ALSO SEPARATE FROM THE INMATES AND ON OUR COURTHOUSE.
AND THE CLERKS CAN GO INTO THE JUDGE'S OFFICE SEPARATELY WITHOUT EVER HAVING TO GO THROUGH THE PUBLIC AREA.
SO, YOU KNOW, WE JUST DON'T HAVE IT SET UP.
IF YOU'RE A JUDGE, YOU USE THE PUBLIC COURTS TO USE THE FACILITIES, THE RESTROOM TO GO TO YOUR PROBATION OFFICE TO GO TO THE CLERK'S OFFICE.
SO THE COURT IN OUR CASE IS A MOVING THING JUST BECAUSE OF OUR FACILITY.
SO THERE'S NO WAY WE CAN PROTECT THE COURTS.
AND I, I DON'T THINK IT'S A, IT'S A, A WHILE CONSTRUED THAT WAY.
I THINK IT'S VERY FACT SPECIFIC.
AND SO SOMEONE MAY COMPLAINT, I MEAN, AND WE HAVE TO BE PREPARED TO RESPOND TO THAT BY SHOWING THE FACTS THAT WE HAVE.
I DON'T THINK IT'S JUST ACROSS THE BOARD.
IT ALSO SAYS FRONT, IT SAYS, WE TALKING ABOUT THIS
[01:45:06]
MEAN YOU SAYING NO COURT ON MOTION, A MOTION FROM COMMISSIONER ALLEN.WE HAVE A SECOND COMMISSIONER PHILLIPS SECOND MOTION.
FURTHER DISCUSSIONS BEFORE VOTE.
ITEM NUMBER 16 IS, UH, FLOYD EMPLOYED TO DISCUSS, CONSIDER ACCEPTING PROPERTY AND RENEWAL QUESTIONNAIRE FOR JULY THE FIRST 2016 RENEWAL DATE WITH A TEXAS LOCATION CAMPUS.
THIS IS THE FIRST STEP IN OUR PROPERTY RENEWAL.
THEY SENT A QUESTIONNAIRE, UM, THAT WOULD HAVE TO ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS AND VERIFY THAT THE EQUIPMENT AND PROPERTY IN OUR BUILDINGS ARE ALL ACCURATE.
AND THEN ONCE WE APPROVE THIS, THEY'LL, THEY'LL GO BACK AND GET OUR NUMBERS TOGETHER AND THEN THEY'LL GIVE US OUR RENEWAL RATES AND ALL OF THAT.
UM, SO I SENT YOU GUYS, UM, A COUPLE TIMES FOR Y'ALL'S MOBILE EQUIPMENT, WHICH IS THE LARGEST PART OF IT.
UM, I DID, I THINK IT WAS, UM, LAST WEEK, MAYBE TUESDAY OR WEDNESDAY, ASKING ANOTHER ONE WITH A COUPLE QUESTIONS.
HAVEN'T HEARD BACK ON THOSE, BUT, UM, IF Y'ALL APPROVE THIS, I NEED TO GET THOSE.
I ANSWERED, THERE WAS SOME, SOME THINGS THAT WERE, A LOT OF THINGS WERE DUPLICATE ON THEIR INSURANCE LIST THAT WE NEED TO MARK OFF THAT I'VE MARKED OFF.
THERE WERE A COUPLE PIECES EQUIPMENT THAT I COULDN'T FIND IN OUR INVENTORY AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY'RE, IF THEY WERE OVER INTO OR WHAT, BUT, BUT, UM, IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT I KNOW Y'ALL WRITTEN SOME STUFF, BUT WE PUT THESE, THIS EQUIPMENT ON THE INSURANCE AND IT STAYS ON THERE UNTIL I HEAR OTHERWISE.
SO IF I DON'T HEAR OTHERWISE, WE'RE PAYING FOR INSURANCE ON EQUIPMENT WE DON'T HAVE.
AND SO IT'S COSTING US MONEY AND WE'RE NOT COMMUNICATING.
SO I NEED TO KNOW, YOU KNOW, IF WE RENT SOMETHING, I KIND OF STAY UP ON IT SINCE Y'ALL TALK IN COURT OR SOMETHING.
BUT ANYTIME WE PURCHASE ANYTHING OR RENT ANYTHING OR WE SELL ANYTHING, I NEED TO KNOW SO THAT WE CAN GET IT OFF INSURANCE AND WE'RE NOT PAYING FOR IT, BUT ON APP.
SO IF WE GET THAT A LITTLE BETTER THE YEAR, I THINK THIS PROCESS WOULD BE A LOT EASIER.
BUT, UM, ANYWAYS, WITH THAT BEING SAID, WHEN DID YOU NEED BACK BACK? UM, I'LL SEND THIS TO, UM, TACTICAL PHOTO FIRST.
SO, UM, IF Y'ALL JUST WANNA APPROVE IT, THE QUESTIONNAIRE, I NEED TO APPROVE TODAY SO I CAN, THEN WE CAN ADJUST THOSE FEW QUESTIONS THAT I HAVE.
OKAY, EVERYBODY, KELLY, THIS MORNING COMMISSIONER, HAVE A MOTION TO, UH, APPROVE AFTER QUESTIONED BY THE HR DIRECTOR PROPERTY.
HAVE A MOTION COMMISSIONER, SECOND COMMISSIONER PHILLIPS MOTION ALL IN.
NOW I'D LIKE TO MOVE AND WE'RE TAKE BREAK, I PROMISE YOU.
JUST IN A MOMENT I'D LIKE TO MOVE TO THE ADDENDUM.
UH, ITEM NUMBER 20, ADDENDUM NUMBER ONE, ITEM NUMBER 24.
AND THAT IS TO CONSIDER APPROVAL APPROVING A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING APPLICATION FOR OUR COUNTY, UH, COUNTY CALL OUT MANAGEMENT PROGRAM.
WE'VE GOT, WE DON'T NEED ANYMORE.
ANYWAY, I, UH, I RECEIVED THIS FROM THE TEXAS DEPARTMENT BACK AGRICUL LAST WEEK.
UH, THEY, THEY HAVE DONE THE HOG OUT PROGRAM.
I THINK A FEW OF YOU KNOW THAT MAYBE WE PARTICIPATED IN THAT PROGRAM, UH, SEVERAL YEARS AGO.
AND, UH, IT ACTUALLY CAME IN PRETTY CLOSE.
SO MEAN LIKE IN THE TOP 10 I THINK IN THE STATES.
WE, WE CAME IN, WE DIDN'T QUALIFY FOR ANY OF THE GRANT MONEY, BUT THEY'RE DOING IT AGAIN THIS YEAR.
UH, IT WILL, IT'S A PROGRAM THAT THEY'RE GOING TO RUN FROM MAY 1ST TO MAY THE 31ST.
UH, THE LAST TIME WE PARTICIPATED IN IT, UH, WE KIND OF HAVE, THEY HAVE SOME QUALIFICATIONS AND, UH, AND WHATNOT ABOUT HOW I GO TO DO THIS.
WE, WE'LL HAVE TO HAVE THE APPLICATION TURNED IN AND SIGNED BY, UH, JUDGE WOOD BY JUNE 16TH.
UH, BUT THERE'S A POSSIBILITY WE COULD GET SOME GRANT MONEY FROM 'EM.
IT'S A, IT'S A PAYBACK PROGRAM
[01:50:01]
FOR MONEY.WE'VE ALREADY SPENT, UH, Y'ALL MAY NOT KNOW THAT THE, THE COMMISSION SEVERAL YEARS AGO APPROVED SOME MONEY TO BUY, UH, SOME HAUL TRAPS.
WE'VE GOT THREE IN THE COUNTY.
WE BOUGHT 30 PANELS AND 200 DEPOTS, BUT A LOT.
I THINK THAT IF WE COULD, IF WE GET, UH, THESE, THIS YEAR, THE GRANT IS GOING TO GIVE OUT 20 PRIZES, ARRANGING TO 5,000, I THINK OF TO $25,000.
IF WE WERE TO GET ONE OF THOSE, OF COURSE WE'D BE ABLE TO, TO COUNT THOSE PANELS THAT WE HAD ALREADY PURCHASED, UH, AND PUT THAT MONEY TOWARD DOING FAIR.
UH, FUTURE FAIR HOG, UH, EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS. UH, I HAVE A, I HAVE A GOAL.
I'M GOING ASK THE LIVESTOCK FORDS COMMITTEE, UH, TO HELP US FUND ONE OF THE NEW TRAPS THAT THE FOUNDATION IS PATENTED.
UH, IT'S, UH, QUITE FANTASTIC THING, BUT THE CODE CODE COST US ABOUT $6,000.
UH, AND I'M NOT SURE I'M GOING GIVE TALK THAT ENTIRE THING, BUT WE COULD PROBABLY PUT IF, UH, IF WE WOULD'VE RECEIVED PART OF THE GRANT THE LAST TIME WE DID THIS.
THE WAY WE HAVE TO HAVE A METHOD OF CERTIFIED IN HOMES, UH, PRETTY MUCH THE, WITH THE COMMISSIONERS AGREES TO CERTIFY THOSE HOGS AT THEIR STATIONS, LET PEOPLE BRING THEM BY THERE IN THEIR TRUCKS AND COUNT 'EM, GET NAMES.
I THINK A BETTER WAY TO DO IT IS JUST TO LET ME CERTIFY ALL OF THEM.
IF SOMEBODY COMES BY YOUR OFFICE AND SAYS, HEY, I GOT A TRUCK LOAD LOGGING, Y'ALL SHOULD CALL ME.
OR SO I'LL, I'LL TAKE CARE OF KEEPING THE RECORDS ON THAT.
I ONLY NEED BASIC, I NEED YOUR ADDRESS
WE HAD A VERY, I THINK PRETTY GOOD MUCH FOLKS.
WE HAD A, WE HAD A BIG TURNOUT, UH, COMMISSIONER ALLEN'S, UH, PRECINCT OF COURSE HAD THE VARS, UH, TURNOUT IN THEIR DEAL.
BUT WE HAD HAUL FROM ALL COUNTY.
UH, PRECINCT FOUR HAD A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF HAUL, KILLED THE ONE THAT WAS KILLED BY PICKUP TRUCK FISHERY TOLD US, CAN WE COUNT THAT YOU RUN THEM DOWN ALSO, IF IT'S DEAD, WE CAN COUNT IT.
YOU CANNOT COUNT CALLS TO AND MOVE TO ANOTHER LOCATIONAL TERMINAL THAT THOSE ARE NOT COUNTABLE.
THEY HAVE TO BE DISPOSED OF, UH, IN SOME MANNER APPROVED BLAH LAW.
UH, AND UH, ANYWAY, THAT'S HOW WE COUNT.
ALRIGHT, I REQUEST, I I JUST GOT ONE QUESTION.
UM, IT SAYS HERE ON THIS PAGE THREE ON THE, UH,
I I WOULD, I PERSONALLY WOULD LIKE A
IT, IT'S A, IT'S, THEY PERFECTED IT AND, UH, IT'S A VERY NICE TRAP.
BUT, UH, IT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN SET UP AND TAKE DOWN ON 30 MINUTES.
IT TAKES A DAY OR A DAY AND A HALF PUT UP AND TAKE DOWN A LITTLE STRAP.
SO TREMENDOUSLY LONG TIME, VERY LABOR INTENSIVE.
THIS NEW ONE, SET IT UP AND PUT TOGETHER IN 30 MINUTES AND TAKE DOWN IN 30 MINUTES AND MOVE THE THING AROUND.
I THINK IF WE COULD GET ONE, WE CAN CHARGE NOVEL FEE.
MAYBE THE PEOPLE JUST TO MAINTAIN THE THING AND REALLY PROBABLY GO TO THE FOUNDATION.
I HAVE TALKED, I HAVE ACTUALLY TALKED TO THE PEOPLE, THE A NO FOUNDATION.
THEY'D BE WILLING TO COME DOWN HERE SEVERAL TIMES ON TRAINING'S.
ONE UP AND YOU CAN BE SITTING IN CANCUN ON THE BEACH.
ANYWAY, THAT LIKE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE, I'M ALL IN ALL MOTION, NOT MOTION.
COMMISSIONER ALLEN SECOND FROM COMMISSIONER ZA.
[01:55:01]
AYE.THANK YOU FOR PUTTING, UH, THIS IS, UH, TO DISCUSS, ENTER INTO AN UN LOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN DALLAS COUNTY AND KAMAN COUNTY JOINING DALLAS COUNTY AND R FP NUMBER 20 15 6 86 FOR RESTORATION PRESERVATION REPAIR SERVICES, HISTORICAL BOOKS AND OTHER RECORDS PURSUANT TO SECTION 11 5, 1 OF DALLAS COUNTY'S CONTRACT CO FILE.
TE AND WE'RE PIGGYBACKING OFF THAT WE ARE, WE'RE EXACTLY.
OKAY, SO I YEAH, DISCUSS, WE KNOW WHERE TO GO IN THE STORM.
FIRST A MOTION FROM COMMISSIONER ALLEN, SECOND COMMISSIONER PHILLIPS, ANY DISCUSSION? OKAY, WE BACK IN, UH, BACK TO ORDER AND UH, WE WILL ENTER INTO AN EXECUTIVE SESSION.
I'LL NEED A MOTION TO ENTER INTO A, UH, EXECUTIVE SESSION, UH, CONCERNING ITEM NUMBER 26, UH, ON THE AGENDA.
WELL, ACTUALLY IT'LL BE, UH, ITEM NUMBER 19 ON THE AGENDA.
SO I HAVE A MOTION TO, UH, GO INTO A, I BELIEVE WE NEEDED AN EXECUTIVE SESSION.
DO NOT REBECCA, OR, OR IT'S, IT'S POSTED THAT WAY, BUT IF YOU, THERE'S NO REASON YOU CAN DO, YOU COULD DO EITHER ONE.
I DON'T THINK ANYBODY HAS ANY OBJECTION TO THAT.
SO IF YOU'LL TELL EVERYBODY, THIS FIRST PART WILL BE OPEN.
SO THIS WILL BE ON THE SECOND ADDENDUM THAT WAS ISSUED, UH, LATE THURSDAY AFTERNOON BY MY OFFICE.
AND IT IS TO DISCUSS AND CONSIDER APPROVING A TAX ABATEMENT AGREEMENT AND RESOLUTION BETWEEN KAMAN COUNTY AND WALMART STORES.
UH, EIGHTIES INCORPORATED AND OLD CASTLE BUILDING ENVELOPE WITH APPROVAL OF THE COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE AND AUTHORIZING THE COUNTY JUDGE TO SIGN.
WE'RE PLEASED TO HAVE WITH US, UH, TODAY DON STYLE, WHO IS WITH, UH, THE, UH, CAR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT BOARD WITH ANY DAY OF THE WEEK.
UH, AND I KNOW I BELIEVE WE HAVE, UH, I BELIEVE THE COMMISSIONERS HAVE, UH, THE ITEM THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
SO IF YOU'D LIKE TO TALK WITH US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ON THESE FREE, OKAY.
UH, DO Y'ALL HAVE WALMART FIRST? CAN YOU TELL ME WHICH ONE Y'ALL HAVE? UH, WE JUST, WE GOT ALL, OKAY, I'LL START WITH WALMART.
EVERYBODY HAVE A COPY OF THAT.
UH, THE FIRST ONE THAT WALMART, DC AND TERRELL IS PLANNING AN EXPANSION, WHICH INCLUDES 17,000 SQUARE FEET OF NEW REFRIGERATION WITH A CAPITAL INVESTMENT FOR THE BUILDING OF 5.7 MILLION.
AND, UH, EQUIPMENT, WHICH IS MOSTLY REFRIGERATION EQUIPMENT, UH, IS 10,700,000 FOR TOTAL INVESTMENT OF 16.4 MILLION.
THEY WILL CREATE A MINIMUM OF 50 NEW JOBS IN A MAX OF 100.
AND PER THE GUIDELINES OF THE CITY AND THE COUNTY'S ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT POLICY, WE HAVE OFFERED THE TAX ABATEMENT THAT'S LISTED BELOW, WHICH IS A BASICALLY AN EIGHT YEAR TAX ABATEMENT BASED ON THE COUNTY'S POLICY BEGINNING YEAR ONE AND TWO WITH A HUNDRED PERCENT AND ENDING WITH 25% IN YEAR EIGHT.
WE WERE ALSO OFFERING THEM A JOB GRANT OF $3,000 PER JOB FOR A MINIMUM OF 50 EMPLOYEES AND A MAXIMUM OF A HUNDRED.
UM, WE'RE OFFERING TRIPLE FREE COURT TAX EXEMPTION, WHICH INCLUDES THE CITY, COUNTY AND SCHOOL AND WAIVER OF ALL BUILDING AND IMPACT PHASE FOR THE CITY.
AND I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ON THE WALMART.
I BELIEVE COMMISSIONER, UH, SHANE AND COMMISSIONER EXOTIC SET IN ON THIS.
[02:00:01]
AND IT DOES MEET ALL THE REQUIREMENTS OF OUR, UH, OF OUR TAXMY, MY ONLY QUESTION IS THE JOB GRANT 3000 PER JOB, THAT'S STRICTLY THE, THAT'S THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION.
THEY DON'T, THEY GET, YEAH, IF THEY, IF THEY DON'T CREATE A MINIMUM OF 50 JOBS WITHIN 12 MONTHS, THEY WON'T GET IT.
ANYBODY HAD ANY QUESTION ABOUT THE MOVE ON TO THE SECOND ONE? WHATEVER YOU'D LIKE TO DO.
OKAY, SECOND ONE I HAVE, AND THIS ONE IS JUST A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.
THEY'RE DOING, MADIX IS DOING TWO DIFFERENT PHASES OF EXPANSION.
THEY'RE, UH, EXPANDING ONE OF THEIR EXISTING BUILDINGS BY ADDING 50,000 SQUARE FEET AND $4 MILLION IN, IN EQUIP BUILDING AND EQUIPMENT.
AND ALSO THEY ARE GOING TO DO A NEW EXPANSION OF A HUNDRED THOUSAND SQUARE FEET, WHICH WILL BE A NEW BUILDING AND THEY'LL ADD ABOUT AN ADDITIONAL 200,000 SQUARE FEET WITHIN THE NEXT THREE YEARS.
AND THEIR TOTAL CAPITAL INVESTMENT WILL BE $10 MILLION.
AND SO ALTHOUGH IT SAYS PHASE ONE AND PHASE TWO ON THE DIFFERENT, UH, INCENTIVES THAT WE'RE OFFERING THEM, IT'S ALL GONNA BE OFFERED UNDER ONE TAX ABATEMENT.
SO IT WILL BE AN BASICALLY AN EIGHT YEAR TAX ABATEMENT, VERY SIMILAR TO WALMART'S.
THE A HUNDRED PERCENT YEAR ONE ALL THE WAY DOWN TO 25% YEAR EIGHT.
AND AS FAR AS THE TAX ABATEMENT OUR PART, IT'S OUR STANDARD POLICY AND
AND THE IS AND ROLLBACK, BUT I DON'T THINK IT NEED ROLLBACK.
ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE, UH, THE MEDIC PROJECT? ALRIGHT, THE NEXT ONE.
THE LAST ONE, THE LAST ONE WILL BE OLD CASTLE BUILDING ENVELOPE.
THEY ARE GOING TO CONSTRUCT A 73,000 SQUARE FOOT BUILDING TO HOUSE THEIR NEW ENERGIZING EQUIPMENT.
THEY'RE TOTAL INVESTMENT WILL BE $15 MILLION.
AND WE ARE OFFERING THEM PRETTY MUCH THE SAME INCENTIVES AS WE DID ON WALMART AND THE EIGHT YEAR TAX ABATEMENT BEGINNING WITH YEAR ONE, 100 GOING DOWN TO 25%, YEAR EIGHT.
AND I'LL JUST BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS.
ANYBODY HAVE, ANYBODY HAVE ANY, ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS LAST ONE OR ANY OF THEM FOR THAT MATTER? AND I WANNA BE CLEAR THAT, UH, WHAT WE'RE DOING ON THIS IS JUST, UH, THE TAX ABATEMENT PART IS, AND I THINK THE QUESTIONNAIRE HAS NOW BEEN RECEIVED.
BUT THIS IS, THE CONTRACT ITSELF WILL ALL BE SUBJECT TO REVIEW, UH, LATER DATE, UH, BY THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE.
AND SO EVERYBODY'S CLEAR ON THAT TO, UH, JUDGE YOU, REBECCA, HAVE ANY COMMENTS YOU WANNA ADD ABOUT THAT? NO, WE HEAR WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
IT'S SUBJECT TO, UH, REVIEW AT A LATER DATE.
NO, YOU, OUR FEELINGS IS BEFORE YOU VOTE, WE WOULD'VE WON IT ON TIME.
IF THAT DOESN'T CHANGE, THAT'S NOT GONNA CHANGE.
I MEAN, WE GOT AT THREE O'CLOCK ON THURSDAY BEFORE WE WERE GONE ON FRIDAY.
FRIDAY OR EASTER, WHICH IS NOAH'S FAULT.
I MEAN, IT'S NOT, I'M JUST TELLING WE'RE LAWYERS, WE'RE SITTING HERE LOOKING AT IT TODAY AND COMPARING AND I MEAN, THAT'S NOT HOW YOU PREPARE.
IS IT GOOD? NO, IT'S NOT GOOD.
AND BASICALLY WE'RE JUST ASKING, I GUESS THE TAX AB TO BE APPROVED TODAY AND THEN THE, THE, UH, AGREEMENTS CAN BE REVIEWED AND JUST, YOU KNOW, OVER WHATEVER TIME THE TEXT TO REVIEW THOSE AND BE SIGNED AT WAY, YOU GOTTA LETTER DATE.
AND WHAT HAPPENS OBVIOUSLY IS THAT THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG AND YOU CAN PROVE THE TAX ABATEMENT.
I MEAN, THAT CAN GET TO BE PROBLEM.
I MEAN, WE'RE JUST LAWYERS IF WE LOOK AT HOW PROBLEMS HAPPEN AND WE ARE IN A POSITION AS A DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S TO WROTE TO THE COUNTY THE BEST.
BUT I UNDERSTAND YOU'VE GOT TIME DEADLINES THAT YOU WEREN'T AWARE OF.
I'VE ALSO UNDERSTOOD FROM AN EMAIL THAT THIS IS HOW WE'VE ALWAYS DONE THINGS AND WE'RE JUST HERE TO SAY THAT WE DON'T WANNA DO THINGS LIKE THIS IN THE FUTURE, BUT IT'S A GREAT PROJECT AND IT'S GREAT FOR TERRELL AND FOR THE COUNTY.
AND WE DON'T, WE DON'T WANNA BE CONSTRUED AS OBSTRUCTIONISTS.
WE JUST HAVE TO DO WHAT'S BEST FOR THE COUNTY.
AND JUST LOOKING AT THE NUMBERS, THEY LOOK GREAT, BUT I CAN'T PUT MY ADA ON IT BECAUSE I HAVEN'T HAD TIME TO REVIEW IT IN THE WAY I WANT TO.
NOT GONNA PUT REBECCA IN THAT POSITION AND WE'LL REVIEW THE CONTRACT IN A TIMELY WAY, BUT THE TAX ABATEMENTS, YOU KNOW, THEY LOOK GREAT.
[02:05:01]
HOPEFULLY NEXT TIME WE CAN GET THOSE TO YOU.ABSOLUTELY, ABSOLUTELY TIMELY FASHION.
AND WE, BECAUSE WE DON'T WANNA BE THE ONES IN OUR OFFICE STANDING IN THE WAY OF SOMETHING LIKE THIS.
I, I CAN'T SAY SOMETHING I HAVEN'T LOOKED AT.
I MEAN, THAT WOULD BE VERY INEFFECTIVE.
WELL, AND AS WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS IN THE FUTURE, WE'LL NEED TO REMEMBER THOSE TIME AND UH, SO THAT WE DON'T GET INTO AN ISSUE WITH NO, WE, I MEAN I JUST WANNA BE CLEAR.
I THINK I'M, I KNOW I'M CLEAR AND SO I'M HOPING, I THINK EVERYBODY ELSE IS YES.
WILLING TO WORK WITH ALL OF OUR COMMUNITIES ON THAT AS WELL.
BUT IT IS THREE VERY GOOD PROJECTS.
THEY'RE ALL EXISTING INDUSTRIES IN OUR COUNTY, SO IT'S UH, IT'S A GOOD THING.
SO, UH, IN MY OPINION AND SUBJECT BEGINS TO REVIEWED BY THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION AT THIS POINT IN TIME TO UH, APPROVE THE TAX AGREEMENTS.
UH, COUNTY SAY THAT IN THIS, UH, AFTER APPROVAL COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE AND AUTHOR JUDGE TO SIGN IT'LL, I THINK EVERYBODY'S OKAY.
SO WE HAVE A MOTION FROM COMMISSIONER.
WE HAVE A SECOND COMMISSIONER ZA ACCEPTANCE MOTION.
ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN THE PAPER SAY AYE.
IT SAYS WE ITEM NUMBER SEVEN AND I'LL LEAVE A MOTION TO UH, EXIT THE REGULAR MEETING.
HAVE A MOTION COMMISSIONER SECOND AND SECOND FROM COMMISSIONER.

I HAVE TWO ADDITIONS TO THE CLAIMS FOR PAYMENT.
I APOLOGIZE THAT, UH, TWO BILLS FROM HARRIS, UM, PREPARATION ON THE RADIO PHONE WAS LATE GETTING TO US SO WE DIDN'T GET IT WORK FOR PAYMENT AND UH, THEY SUBMITTED IT AND WE TOLD HARRIS THAT WE PROBABLY WON'T BE ABLE TO INCLUDE IT UNTIL THE NEXT COURT SESSION AND THEY COME BACK AND ASK IF I WOULD SUBMITTED TO Y'ALL FOR APPROVAL TODAY.
