[00:00:11]
TOMORROW WE, I'M ALWAYS HAPPY.LOOK LIKE YOU HAVE NO CHANGES.
UM, ONE, THEY WE'RE MOVING $500 FROM EXTRA HELP.
WELL, THAT'S WAIT UNTIL EVERYBODY GETS I DIDN'T KNOW.
AND, UH, KIM'S HE'S NOT HERE TODAY.
AREN'T WE GOT WHAT? I TOLD NOTHING.
YOUR NOT TAKING ANYTHING? NO, SIR.
I THOUGHT I WAS ALMOST THE VERY BACK.
WHATCHA LOOKING FOR IN FRONT? RIGHT IN FRONT.
ALL THE, HE GOT, WELL, THAT WAS MESSED YOU UP.
RONNIE WAS ABLE TO COME UP AND HELP US MOVE ALONG SO WE DON'T STAY HERE QUITE AS LONG TOMORROW AS WE PLANNED.
SO, UH, RONNIE, IF YOU WANT, I SEE NO, NO CHANGES.
IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE, DON'T CHANGE ON THE BOTTOM LINE.
WE'RE GONNA TAKE $500 WITH Y'ALL'S APPROVAL OUT OF EXTRA HELP AND PUT THAT INTO MEALS, MILEAGE MEALS, AND LO UM, AS I'VE LEARNED WHAT MY ANNUAL ROUTINE WILL BE, I'LL DO THREE TRAININGS A YEAR.
ONE THE SPRING, UH, TREASURER SESSION.
ONE TYPICALLY IN JUNE FOR THE INVESTMENT CLASS.
AND THEN OUR, UM, ANNUAL TREASURER'S CONFERENCE IN, TYPICALLY IN SEPTEMBER.
SO THAT'S, I'LL BE A LITTLE BIT UNDER THE WATER.
I'LL PAY SOME OF THAT COST OUT MY OWN POCKET THIS YEAR AND THIS 2,500 THIS MOVEMENT SHOULD GET ME.
WELL, IF YOU NEED TO, IF YOU GOT MONEY TO TRANSFER YOU, YOU SHOULD PAY THAT TO YOUR OWN POCKET.
WELL, I, I SAY THIS YEAR MAY BE A A LITTLE BIT CLOSE BECAUSE IT WAS UNEXPECTED, BUT IF YOU MAY HAVE SOME LINE ITEMS. CAN ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR, UH, THE TREASURY? I'M GOOD.
WELL, I WANT TO THANK Y'ALL FOR YOUR CONFIDENCE AND, UH, TRANSFERRING PAYROLL TO US.
AND I TOLD YOU THEN WE THOUGHT WE WERE MOVING MONEY THAT WE COVER EVERYTHING AND THAT'S BEEN THE CASE.
KAREN, YOU WANT TO COME OFF AND, UH, WELL, THERE'S REALLY NOTHING TO DISCUSS THAT CHANGES.
AND SO, UH, THAT, UH, THERE'S NOTHING THERE.
OF COURSE, THE JUDGES HAVE NOT MET YET TO DISCUSS YOUR, UH, TOWELS, UH, YET.
AND SO, UH, THERE'S REALLY NO CHANGES I GUESS FROM WHAT YOU HAD INITIALLY.
ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF THE AUDITOR? NO, NOT REALLY.
DID WE DO YOU, YOU WANT, DO YOU NOW? HAVE YOU BEEN DONE TODAY? WAIT A MINUTE.
THIS IS MORE, YOU SEE? NO, NOT LIKE THIS.
OH, WHERE ALL THOSE BIG FLOWERS,
[00:05:01]
NOT, NO CHANGES.SHE WAS IN THE BACK IN OTHER DEPARTMENTS.
'CAUSE SHE DIDN'T WANT COME FOR WE'LL CATCH MINE WHILE BACK APARTMENT THERE.
I KNOW, UH, YOU HAVE NOT FILLED THE POSITION.
UH, THAT WAS VACATED YOUR OLD POSITION, I GUESS, OR DID YOU FILL IT? NO.
NO, AS A MATTER OF FACT, I JUST RECEIVED A LETTER.
SO, UH, ANYWAY, I THINK THERE WAS SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT WHETHER YOU WERE GOING TO DO IT.
PART OF IT WAS BECAUSE YOU WERE WAITING TO SEE IF YOU WERE GOING TO BE APPOINTED.
I MEAN, NOT AUDITOR, BUT THAT APPOINTMENT WAS MADE, I BELIEVE, LAST WEEK.
AND SO YOU, UH, YOU ARE THE PERSON AGENT NOW THAT WILL HAVE THAT INTO YOU TO THE, IN THE NEXT MEETING THAT YOU'LL HAVE THAT APPOINTMENT NOTICE.
SO YOU WANT TELL US KIND ABOUT WHAT YOUR THOUGHTS ARE ABOUT THAT THIRD PERSON THAT WE ADDED LAST YEAR? UH, AND OBVIOUSLY YOU'RE GOING HAVE TO HIRE SOMEBODY ELSE, I GUESS NOW.
I, I HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT THE SAFE.
EVERYTHING I WAS GONNA TALK ABOUT JUST KIND OF WENT OUT THE WINDOW BECAUSE, UM, THE ONLY THING THAT I REALLY WANTED TO MAKE ANY KIND OF CHANGES AT ALL IS, YOU KNOW, IF Y'ALL, IF YOU REALLY NEEDED ME TO GIVE UP THAT POSITION, EVEN THOUGH WE REALLY HAVEN'T FELT OUT THE OFFICE TOTALLY.
TO SEE WHAT WE'RE GONNA NEED, YOU KNOW, I THAT'S FINE.
UH, THE SAVINGS BETWEEN WHAT JACK'S SALARY IS VERSUS, AND THE LONGEVITY AND JUST, I WAS INTENDING ON ASKING JUST TO BUMP IL'S WAY UP TO, EVEN WITH AMANDA'S IS ABOUT THE ONLY THING, BUT SHE'S THE ONE THAT'S LEAVING.
WELL HERE'S, LET, LET WHAT I TALKED WITH LISA ABOUT, AND BY THE WAY, SHE'S, IN MY OPINION, DONE REAL GREAT JOB FOR HER.
SHE'S BEEN A PLEASURE TO WORK WITH.
WHAT I HAD DONE, WHAT I HAD MENTIONED TO LISA ABOUT IS IF SHE REALLY NEEDED THAT FULL, FULL-TIME POSITION THAT WE ADDED LAST YEAR THAT NEVER WAS ACTUALLY HIRED, I DON'T THINK, OR WAS HIRED FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.
AND THEN WHEN JACK LEFT, YOU CHOSE NOT TO FILL THE POSITION.
AND I ASKED HER, DO YOU WANT THAT POSITION OR DO YOU REALLY NEED IT? OR COULD YOU CUT IT BACK TO PART-TIME RATHER THAN TIME? WELL, SINCE THEN, UH, AS WE DISCUSSED EARLIER, YOU KNOW, WE'VE NOT, AND I'VE NOT EVEN TALKED WITH YOU ABOUT THIS, SO DON'T FL AT ME.
UH, WE'VE NOT ACTUALLY, WHEN CLAYTON HAD THE, UH, THE CAR, UH, VEHICLE POLICY, VEHICLE POLICY, WE'VE NEVER, THAT'S BEEN OUT THERE FLOATING.
AND SO WE HAVE A POLICY THAT WE REALLY DON'T HAVE ANYBODY FOLLOWING.
AND SINCE YOU ALREADY DO INVENTORY, UH, WHAT I MEAN, THAT WOULD AT LEAST GIVE US SOMEBODY TO KEEP UP WITH THE INVENTORY AND MAYBE IS THAT, UH, POLICY, I DON'T KNOW WHETHER THAT'S A GOOD FIT OR NOT, BUT I JUST THOUGHT TO THROW IT OUT AND SEE WHAT, WHAT I THINK, AND THIS WOULDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH YOU, BUT I, UH, I THINK WE NEED A SOMEBODY ALL THE TIME THAT TAKES CARE OF THAT.
YOU MEAN JUST THE KEEPING OF THE VEHICLES? HUH? TELL ME WHAT YOU MEAN.
I THINK, I THINK WE NEED TO, I'LL, I'LL BEAT THAT TO, YOU KNOW, TO SOMETHING ELSE HAPPENS, BUT I JUST THINK SOMEBODY NEEDS TO BE IN CHARGE AND CHECK 'EM OUT AND KNOW WHERE THEY ARE ALL THE TIME AND WHAT THEY'RE DOING AND HOW THEY'RE DOING IT AND EVERYTHING ELSE.
AND THAT DOESN'T MATTER IF IT'S A CAR SHERIFF, WHATEVER IT IS.
YOU KNOW, THERE'S JUST TOO MANY CARS OR WE GOT, WE HAVE, I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY OF YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO TELL ME HOW MANY DIFFERENT PLACES WE CHANGE OIL AND, AND TIRE ROTATIONS AND EVERYTHING.
IT MEANS IT'S SPREAD OUT BECAUSE IT'S KIND INCONVENIENCE FOR, I MEAN, WE HAVE WHAT? WE HAVE A GARAGE IN THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT.
WE HAVE A GARAGE AT THE SOUTH CAMPUS WITH LIFT.
WE HAVE ALL THESE USED AND THE ONE AT
[00:10:01]
THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT.I KNOW IT'S BEING USED SOMETHING, BUT I MEAN WE, WE, WE SHOULD BE DOING ALL THIS STUFF.
I'M NOT OPPOSED TO DOING THAT.
I JUST DON'T THINK, WELL, I DON'T KNOW HOW TO CHANGE.
I THINK IT'D BE, I THINK IT BE HARDER.
YOU PROBABLY ALREADY HAVE A LIST OF THE CARS.
WE ALL, THERE'S A LIST IN HERE OF THE CAR.
I DON'T DUNNO ELSE, BUT I KNOW THE DETAILS YOU HAVE.
I DON'T KNOW THAT SHE WOULD BE GET THAT.
I, I I REALLY DON'T KNOW THE, THE IN DEPTH.
I DON'T, IT DOESN'T HAVE CURRENT MILEAGE.
IT'S MORE OUR LIST IS THE, UH, YEAR MAKE MILEAGE DEPARTMENT.
VIN NUMBER, THINGS OF THAT NATURE.
UNIT, UNIT NUMBER AND WHAT WE PAID FOR.
I MEAN, I THINK SHE ALREADY HAS THAT.
I JUST DON'T, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING THOUGH? JUST THINK WE NEED SOMEBODY THAT ACTUALLY MANAGES IT.
NOT, NOT, YOU KNOW, YOU DO HAVE, THAT'S A, THAT'S A GOOD POINT.
AND BECAUSE OF, UH, BLACK REGISTRATION, YOU KNOW, IT'S BEEN HANDLED BY THIS ONE.
IT'S BEEN HANDLED BY THIS ONE.
IT'S BEEN HANDLED BY THIS ONE.
AND NOW IT'S ALL OVER THAT THE STATES COME IN.
WELL, OUR, OUR, OUR DEPARTMENT HANDLE IT MAINLY.
THERE ARE STILL SOME DEPARTMENTS THAT'LL GO AHEAD AND THEY'LL GET THEIR OWN STUFF AND GET REIMBURSED OR WHATEVER BECAUSE YOU GET A NOTICE OF IT.
WELL, LIKE OUR, EVERYTHING'S EXEMPT.
SO WE DON'T KNOW WHEN AN INSPECTION'S UP BECAUSE WE DON'T DO A TAG.
WELL SEE NOW, SHOULD HAVE TO GET THEM INSPECTED NOW, YOU KNOW, USED TO, WE DIDN'T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING OTHER THAN THEY SENT US THE REGISTRATION.
WE GO DOWNSTAIRS, WE GET THE REGISTRATION AND NOW IT'S NOT LIKE THAT.
YOU HAVE, IT HAS TO BE, IT'S GOING, IT'S GOING TO OUR OFFICE AND IT'S GOING TO KW 'CAUSE THEY'RE KEEPING PETTY CASH.
THAT'S THIS WAY TOO MANY PEOPLE.
I MEAN, I DON'T MIND WE DOING ANYTHING WRONG, BUT IT'S JUST WASTING UP TIME TO ME.
I MEAN, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? IT'S JUST TAKING UP TIME THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT AND IT'S JUST NOT A GOOD THING.
IF YOU DON'T NEED THAT POSITION.
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT MOVE TO MAINTENANCE OR SOMETHING AND CREATE A MAINTENANCE, UH, VEHICLE POLICY PERSON DEPARTMENT.
I MEAN JUST LIKE FLEET SERVICES.
LIKE THE FLEET SERVICE DEPARTMENT.
NO, AND THEN THE TOPS, THE CONSTABLES WERE BATTLING OVER CARS AND HAVE TWO DEPUTIES.
WELL, I MEAN, YOU KNOW, THEY COME OVER AND CHECK OUT A CAR FROM THE GUY, BRING IT BACK, GIVE IT TO HIM, GIVE THEM UNDER HIM.
BUT IF SHE'S KEEPING UP WITH THE REGISTRATION, SHE'S KEEPING UP WITH THE INVENTORY AND WE HAVE ANOTHER DEPARTMENT UP THERE KEEPING UP WITH THE INSURANCE.
WHY NOT KEEP IT IN HER DEPARTMENT? BECAUSE WE'RE GONNA MAKE A MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT OR, BUT WHAT DOES REGISTRATION WE DO, WE DO HAVE A MAINTEN MAINTENANCE.
WELL, SHE CAN STILL KEEP UP WITH PAPERWORK AND STUFF.
I DON'T HAVE PROBLEM WITH THAT.
BUT WE NEED SOMEBODY TO TAKE THEIR MAINTENANCE.
ALL THAT CAN BE SENT TO THE COMPUTER OR THE MAINTENANCE.
REGISTRATION AND, AND, UH, I MEAN, INSPECTION AND REGISTRATION.
WELL, AS YOU WILL, THE WHOLE ISSUE OF INSURANCE THAT WHAT'S HER NAME, BUT LAURIE HAS, I MEAN, YOU KNOW, MY BIGGEST FEAR IS WE HAVE A CAR OUT THERE THAT'S NOT INJURED.
I Y'ALL, YOU PUT ALL THAT ON THE COMPUTER PROGRAMING HAVE IT.
WELL, I MEAN WE, I WORK PRETTY CLOSELY NOW WITH PURCHASING THAT.
AS LONG AS ONE OF US KNOWS ABOUT IT, WE BOTH STAY IN THE LOOP.
I MEAN, I'M, WE DON'T ABOUT IT.
WE TRY, IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANYBODY KEEPING UP WITH ISSUED FOR NEW, BUT I'M AFRAID TRY TO GIVE HER A COPY WHERE SHE'S ON NOTICE THAT THERE'S SOMETHING COMING DOWN THE PIPE.
AND, AND, UH, FAR THAT CONCERN THAT CAN STAY THERE.
WELL, THERE'S NO REASON ALL THREE APARTMENTS CAN HAVE THE SAME COPY OF THE REGISTRATION, INSURANCE AND FROM THE SPREADSHEET, EXCEL SHEET, WHATEVER, PUNCH IT IN, PUSH THE BUTTON AND EVERYBODY'S GOT, SO THE IDEA WOULD BE THAT WE WOULD, IT'S PROBABLY GONNA TAKE MORE THAN ONE PERSON.
COURSE IT EVERYTHING, YOU KNOW, SHERIFF GOT A MECHANIC, GOT ALL MAN, GOT ALL, WE ALREADY HAD THE PHYSICIANS KIND OF STARTED.
WE JUST KIND GROUP, GROUP IT ALL TOGETHER AND UTILIZE IT.
GET SOME KIND OF UNIFORMITY GOING IN HOME SITUATION.
IS THERE, IT'S ALL, IS THERE A PLACE THAT'S A SOUTH CAMPUS THAT COULD BE USED? YEAH, THERE'S A LIFT ALREADY THERE.
THERE'S A LIFT IN A BANK'S, TWO BABIES.
AND THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT HAS BABIES TOO.
I MEAN, EVEN EACH MONTH, EVERY WHO THIS IS AND WHO WE, WE GET TO DO THAT OR WHATEVER, THEY CAN TURN A REPORT INTO HER AND SHE'LL HAVE CURRENT GOING ALONG WITH LORD.
SO RIGHT NOW, IF THE CONSTABLES ALL GO TO SOME PLACE LOCAL TO GET THEIR OIL CHANGED AND THEIR TIRES ROTATED, ALL THAT, ALL THEY ALL OVER VAS CARS GO.
BUT I MEAN, WE DON'T KNOW THAT THE MAINTENANCE IS BEING TAKEN CARE OF.
[00:15:01]
DEPENDING ON ALL THESE DIFFERENT PEOPLE TO MAINTAIN CARS.JUST LIKE EVERYBODY IN HERE HAS GOT A DIFFERENT, WE ALL GOT CARS, BUT BY OWN LAW, Y'ALL ARE ALL TAKING CARE OF 'EM.
THIS ONE OVER HERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT TAKE CARE OF 10 TIMES BETTER THAN THAT ONE AWAY.
BUT THERE'S ONE PERSON LOOKING AT 'EM AND THAT'S WHY ALL THE, WHETHER IT'S DALLAS, WHETHER IT'S HUNT COUNTY, WHETHER IT'S EVERYWHERE, WHERE THEY HAVE SOMEBODY THAT'S IN CHARGE OF 'EM THAT LOOKS AT 'EM EVERY DAY AND DOES INSPECTION REPORTS ON, WELL THAT'S WHY WE DID IT AT THE SCHOOL, BUT IT WAS THE BUS BARN.
I MEAN IT IS RIGHT NOW EVERYBODY'S IN CHARGE, SO NOBODY'S IN CHARGE.
NOBODY KNOWS IF THAT DOOR'S BEING CHANGED IN 3000 OR 30,000.
EXCEPT IT, IF IT'S A, IF IT'S A SPARE CAR, CAR, IT OUGHT BE CHECKED IN ON THERE, SIGNED OUT.
I THINK YOU CAN SEE OUR VEHICLE NUMBERS GO DOWN AS UTILIZATION INCREASES.
THE THING WE WOULD NEED IS ONE SIMPLE LOCATION WHERE THAT CAN BE TAKEN CARE OF.
RIGHT NOW WE DON'T HAVE THAT ONE SIMPLE LOCATION.
THE HAVE VOLUME THAT REALLY, WELL IT DEPENDS.
WE DON'T, I HOW MANY, MOST OF 'EM ARE ASSIGNED OUT? VERY FEW OF 'EM ARE, ARE CHECKED IN.
LIKE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT WOULD HAVE NEARLY MOST OF THEM ASSIGNED OUT TO THEM.
THE ONLY ONES THAT WOULD BE NOT IN SERVICE BECAUSE THAT'S NOT SERVICE ON YOUR, UH, WHAT YOU DOING ON YOUR ROAD BRIDGE TRUCKS I GETTING SO ROAD BRIDGE, THE EQUIPMENT, PICKUP TRUCKS.
WE EVEN FILTER THE PICKUP TRUCKS.
ONE ONE, LET THEM MARK THE TIRES.
WE CHANGE ALL OUR ROAD EQUIPMENT, OIL AND STUFF OURSELVES.
AND I MEAN, I THINK IF WE CONTINUE TO GROW, WE HAVE MORE VEHICLES.
I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW WHERE, WHERE YOU START JUSTIFYING IT, BUT WHEN YOU REACH A HUNDRED CARS PLUS AND ALL, I THINK YOU'RE WELL GETTING REALLY CLOSE TO JUSTIFY IF WE HANDLE PLACE RIGHT UP THERE, THINGS ALREADY THERE, MAINTENANCE THE YARD AND EVERYTHING, GET THEM TO DONATE THAT TO US.
WELL AND YOU KNOW, EVENTUALLY THE COUNTY DOES GO TO A UNIT ROAD SYSTEM.
YOU COULD HAVE A A PART OF MAIN, LIKE WE TALKED ABOUT ONE TIME, YOU COULD ACTUALLY HAVE THAT HAVE A SIMPLE MAINTENANCE FACILITY FACILITY LOCATED AT A WELL EVEN PEOPLE THAT NOT AT BROOK HAVE.
YEAH, WELL I MEAN WE JUST TALKED ABOUT IF WE BUILT AND BUILT OR SOMETHING.
WELL EVEN, EVEN FOR FOUR PRECINCTS, WE HAD ONE MAINTENANCE SHOP WHERE ALL THE KEN WERE THERE AND ALL EQUIPMENT BE PREPARED.
IF YOU DON'T HAVE A MECHANIC, THERE'S THREE OF THE MECHANICS.
THEY OUT AND FIX PIECE OF EQUIPMENT AND VICE VERSA.
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT STANDING AROUND.
I'M STANDING AROUND, BUT HE DOESN'T HAVE MECHANICS.
WHAT DID HE DO? HE NEEDS A REALLY HEAVY MECHANIC.
WELL SO FAR I, YOU KNOW, IT'S WOULD NOT WOOD.
WE CAN EITHER FIX IT OR WE HAVE A MECHANIC WE HIRE CHEAPER THAN WHAT WE'RE PAYING ANYMORE.
SO IT'S BEEN PRETTY HAPPY WITH THE SITUATION.
BUT WE DON'T HAVE AS MUCH EQUIPMENT AS Y'ALL DO WE? YEAH.
WE'RE, WE KEEP NARROWING OUR DOWN, STREAMLINING IT.
IF I NEED SOMETHING REALLY BIG AND BAD THEN I CAN COME FORWARD.
SO LISA, YOU'RE NOW A MECHANIC AND I MEAN I THINK SHE ALREADY DOES WHAT YOU WERE KIND OF ASKING.
I MEAN, SHE ALREADY GETS ALL THE BAND NUMBERS SHE ALREADY HAS.
I DON'T KNOW, BUT I GUESS OF COURSE YOU JUST GOT THIS RESIGNATION TODAY.
I'VE BUT THAT KIND OF HIT YOU.
YEAH, SHE, SHE SAID, SO BACK TO THE ORIGINAL QUESTION, I GUESS APPARENTLY I'M HARD WORK FOR, I GUESS I DON'T, I GUESS BACK TO THE ORIGINAL QUESTION IS, AND YOU MAY JUST BASED ON WHAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT HERE IN THE LAST 10, 15 MINUTES, YOU MAY NOT, IT MAY NOT BE FEASIBLE THAT YOU GIVE THAT POSITION THIRD POSITION ON IT FOR WHILE.
WELL, I MEAN, I MEAN SHE IS KEEPING UP WITH THE, KEEPING UP WITH THE, THE REGISTRATION AND STUFF.
[00:20:01]
THAT'S WHAT WE DEFINITELY NEED SO THAT WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE INSURED.THAT'S ABOUT AS FAR AS SHE CAN GO.
I MEAN I DON'T THINK SHE WANTS TO KEEP UP WITH OIL CHANGE.
I MEAN THAT'S, YOU KNOW, WHY DON'T WE, WHY DON'T WE DO THIS? WHY DON'T WE, MAYBE YOU DO.
I'M JUST TRYING TO FIND SOMEBODY SO SHE KNOWS WHERE MY PERSON THAN I
WELL, I MEAN NO, JUST THINK WE NEED JUST LEAVE LIKE IT'S RIGHT NOW.
AND LET'S, LET'S AFTER WE GET OUR VALUES AND WE START LOOKING IT, TRYING TO NAIL THE BUDGET DOWN A LITTLE CLOSER.
LET'S LOOK AT THIS AS BEING SOMETHING WE CAN COME BACK AND PERHAPS ADD ON AT A, AT A POINT LATER IN, IN, TO SUMMARIZE, WE GET A LITTLE DEEPER INTO TOUCH IT.
I THINK WE'LL LOOK INTO IT REALLY HARD.
TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT, WHAT WE CAN ACTUALLY DO WITH THIS.
BECAUSE THAT'S, THAT'S LIKE A, YOU KNOW, IT, IT'S LIKE THEY ALL MUD PLANT IT ON WALL.
WE HAD AN IN-SERVICE DEPARTMENT, WE HAD THREE MECHANICS AND WE HAD THEM A HO PLACE AND THEY WOULD CHANGE THE OIL.
THEY WOULD MAKE SURE THE CAR GOT INSPECTED, THEY'D PUT REAR ENDS AND MOTORS IN AND THEY HAD A, UM, SOFTWARE THAT THEY, YOU KNOW, WHAT DEPARTMENT, WHAT VEHICLE, WHAT THEY HAD TO DO.
AND IT WOULD PAY THEIR HOURLY WAGE AND MULTIPLY BY THE HOURS THEY WORKED ON IT.
AND WE CHARGED THAT DEPARTMENT FOR THE REPAIR IN CREDIT, THAT DEPARTMENT THAT DID THE WORK.
AND IT KIND OF PAID FOR ITSELF EXCEPT FOR EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE THEY FORGET TO CHANGE THE LABEL RATES OR WHATEVER, YOU KNOW.
YEAH, I'M JUST SAYING THAT, YOU KNOW, WE WE'RE NOT GETTING INTO WITH OUR CARS AND WE'RE DOING THEM A DISSERVICE NOW.
ANOTHER PROGRAM BLIND WHERE WE LEASE AND I HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT A LOT OF IT.
TURN THEM BACK IN IN THREE YEARS.
AND YOU STILL HAVE BUNCH HAVE TO, THAT'LL BE MORE CRITICAL THEN THAN EVER TO SHOW MAINTENANCE TRACK BECAUSE THEY'RE GONNA ON EVERYTHING SOFTWARE UNIT NUMBER, THE DESCRIPTION, WHAT IT COST YOU, THE MILEAGE AND ALL THIS STUFF.
BUT ALSO, UM, WE ALSO HAD A REPLACEMENT FUND AND THE DEPARTMENTS THAT EVERY YEAR WOULD COME AND SAY, WELL I NEED FIVE NEW VEHICLES OR I NEED FOUR BULLDOZERS OR WHAT IT WENT BY, WHAT AMOUNT THEY HAD BEEN PAYING IN OVER THOSE FIVE YEARS TO BE ACCOUNTING COURT SEPARATE.
WE USUALLY HAD THE MONEY SITTING IN THAT REPLACEMENT FUND, PAY FOR IT AND DIDN'T HAVE TO GO HAVE IT FIND HOW DID YOU ACCRUE THE REPLACEMENT? WE CHARGE CHARGING FOR THE BY DEPARTMENT.
SAY LIKE JUST FOR LIKE, SO JUST FOR EXAMPLE, THEY WANTED TO SPEND $308,000.
WELL OVER THE FIVE YEARS WE DIVIDED OUT AND PUT THAT MUCH IN THEIR BUDGET AND TRANSFER IT TO A NEW FUND AND IT WOULD SAY TRANSFER FROM THE SO 38 IN REVENUE AND WE TACKLE IT AND TICKET.
SO NOBODY ELSE COULD SPEND THAT 38 SAVE THE WAY SHE'S TALKING ABOUT YOU'RE BASICALLY, IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S VOTED ON BY COMMISSION COURT.
THIS IS A PROCESS PUT THAT WAY BECAUSE YOU'RE BUYING SOMETHING NEW.
THAT JUST BE, IT'D JUST BE LIKE A RESTRICTED FUND BALANCE KIND THING.
THEN TRANSFER FOR IT TO BE USED FOR THAT.
DID YOU, DID YOU'D BE BREAKING THE LAW, BREAKING YOUR OWN YEAH.
AND IT HAS TO BE ACCOUNTED FOR.
OUTSIDE AUDITORS WOULD SET THAT UP.
AND I, I THINK IT'S A DISCUSSION.
WE NEED EVERYTHING WE CAN THINK OFF OF GRAPHIC.
IT'S A GOOD IDEA BECAUSE MAINTENANCE HOUSES DOWN IN SOUTH CAMPUS ANYWAY, Y'ALL, I, WE'VE GOT A PRETTY GOOD PARKING LOT GOING DOWN THERE ON THE BACK.
I DUNNO HOW MUCH MORE ROAD WE HAVE.
WE COULD ADD ALL WE NEEDED AROUND THOSE TREES, YOU KNOW.
I HAVE ANOTHER, UH, PROPOSAL IN REGARDS TO THAT.
LET'S GO AHEAD, JUST GO AHEAD AND DO, OKAY.
[00:25:01]
OKAY.UH, THANK YOU LISA AND FOR BEING HERE WITH US ALL DAY AS WELL.
LET'S GO BACK TO THE BEGINNING HERE WHERE IT SAYS OTHER DEPARTMENTS.
I THINK WE CAN GO THROUGH THESE.
JUDGE BLAIR IS ON VACATION THIS WEEK AND HE REQUESTED NO CHANGES, UH, IN HIS, UH, UH, BUDGET.
JUST, UH, THE, UH, HISTORICAL COMMISSION.
AND I'M NOT SURE, UH, THEY HAVEN'T SPENT A LOT OF MONEY.
UH, IS THAT BECAUSE THEY OUT THERE, THEY THEY HAVE SOME WORKING OUT THERE NOW.
WE'VE ONLY, IT'S BEEN ADDED OF MARCH 31ST, 635.
BUT I THINK THAT THE SALARY, YEAH.
DO WE HAVE A ON HERE? MISCELLANEOUS BROTHER.
I'M REALLY NOT SURE WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE HISTORICAL PROBATION OR COMMITTEE.
I DON'T HAVE A LOT OF CONTACT.
WE APPOINT THE BOARD FOR THAT.
WE'RE SUPPOSED TO APPOINT THE BOARD FOR THE, UH, HISTORICAL, UH, I DUNNO ABOUT THE FARM MUSEUM.
UH, BUT I THINK BY LAW THE COMMISSIONER'S COURT IS SUPPOSED TO APPOINT THE HISTORICAL COMMISSION.
UH, BUT I DON'T, I DON'T, LIKE I SAY I DON'T HEAR, I DON'T WHAT THEY'RE DOING TO BE HONEST WITH YOU.
YOU EVER GET A REPORTS FROM HIM OR ANYTHING? I HAVEN'T AND UH, I DUNNO.
JIMMY, DO YOU EVER HEAR ANYTHING FROM, YOU KNOW, RONNIE'S OWNED THE HISTORICAL COMMISSION? WELL, HE GIVES A REPORT.
MY MY WHAT I'VE HEARD SECOND AND THIRD HAND IS THEY ARE HAVING TROUBLE GETTING A COURT TOGETHER.
THEY CAN'T GET GET TOGETHER WHEN EVERYBODY CAN MEET.
WELL WE NEED TO DO THAT WITH THIS BOARD AND ALSO WITH THE CHILD WELFARE BOARD.
THAT'S ANOTHER BOARD THAT WE'RE WAY BEHIND ON APPOINTING.
AND SO, UH, ANGIE AND I ARE WORKING WITH THE, UH, EARLY TO KIND OF LOOK AND SEE WHERE WE'RE ON CHILD WELFARE BOARD TOO.
SO ANYWAY, I THINK WE'LL JUST DO THAT WAY.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT WE WENT FROM, WE ADOPTED A BUDGET LAST YEAR, UH, UH, IN 20 OH THIS YEAR, 23,000 5, 27.
AND I DON'T KNOW, UH, THAT'S WHAT THEY HAD LEFT IN THEIR FUND BALANCE.
AND IF YOU REMEMBER THE YEAR BEFORE THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT DOING A BUNCH OF RENOVATION AND CHANGES OUT THERE.
SO THAT'S WHY WE PUT THAT IN THERE SO THEY COULD HAVE MONEY.
THEY SPENT, I THINK THERE'S STILL ON TRACK TO TRY TO GET THAT PLAN ON BY SOME ENGINEER COMPANY.
AND THEY, UM, THEY HAD A, A COMPANY THAT, UH, CAME OUT AND DID SOME, YOU KNOW, PULLED STUFF AND UM, THEY, THEY WERE GONNA DEVELOP A PLAN AND THEN KIND OF JUST CHARGE THE BARE MINIMUM OF THE TIME THAT THEIR, THEIR PEOPLE HAD WAS IT FOR THE FARM? YEAH, IT'S FOR THE FARM.
THE HISTORICAL COMMISSION HAD MORE MONEY THAN THE FARM MUSEUM.
THEY USED THE FARM MUSEUM FOR TWO YEARS FOR RENOVATION AND THEY WERE RUNNING OUT THE MONEY.
SO THEN THEY STARTED, THEY USED THIS ONE AND THEN THAT'S WHEN THE HOLY FAME FARM.
YEAH, I THINK THAT WAS A DISCUSSION.
THEY WERE WANTING THE HISTORICAL COMMISSION TO HELP THEM WITH THE MONEY THAT THEY HAD.
AND I DON'T KNOW, I GUESS THEY SAID NO, I'M NOT SURE.
BUT BUT THEY NEEDED THAT MONEY.
I THINK THAT THEY DON'T HAVE ENOUGH IN THE FARM MUSEUM TO PAY FOR THAT PLAN.
AND THEY WERE TRYING TO GET THE HISTORICAL COMMISSION TO, TO HELP 'EM OUT WITH THE REST OF WHATEVER AND, AND THAT'S WHEN THEY SAID NO.
THAT'S WHEN EVERYBODY JUST KIND OF NEUTRAL WHAT WE SHOULD.
YEAH, PROBABLY WHAT WE SHOULD DO ON THIS THEN, UNTIL WE FIND OUT, UH, LISA AND KAREN, UNTIL WE FIND OUT KIND OF, IF THEY WERE ACTUALLY UP AND OPERATING, WE PROBABLY SHOULDN'T APPROVE ANY MORE FUNDS OUT OF THESE TOOLS THIS YEAR.
I THINK SO SPENT UNTIL WE KIND OF FIND OUT WHERE THEY ARE.
[00:30:01]
TO, I MEAN ONE OF THEM GOT 15 OTHER ONLY SPENT 923.NOW Y'ALL DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THAT OPERATE NOW.
WE TRANSFERRED EQUAL AMOUNT TO THE FARM MUSEUM AND TO THE HISTORICAL MISSION.
SO THAT'S REALLY COUNTING MONEY EXCEPT FOR MAYBE A LITTLE DONATIONS AND STUFF THAT THEY BRING IN.
WELL, BUT I MEAN IF THEY'RE NOT, WHAT DID WE LAST YEAR, THIS AMOUNT HERE? I'M PRETTY SURE DID THEY CARRY ALL CARRY BALANCE? WE CARRIED OVER MONEY.
DIDN'T SPEND, I MEAN, I MEAN THE BOTTOM LINE IS IF SOMETHING REALLY COMES UP AND THEY REALLY COME UP WITH A PLAN, WE CAN ALWAYS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE YEAR TRANSFER A LITTLE BIT OF MONEY.
FOR THE YEAR, RIGHT? YEAH, FOR EACH OF THEM.
SO THAT'S LIKE 12, 17,000 THAT WE ALREADY HAVE BUDGET TO THAT WE GIVE THEM, WE JUST GO DO THAT AGAIN.
AND THEN ACTUALLY PAID OUT, PAID OUT GOVERNMENT AND UM, WE DO A CHECK OUT OF THE HISTORICAL COMMISSION EVERY QUARTER TO PAY US BACK.
SO THAT'S PRETTY MUCH FOR THE MOST PART, THEIR ONLY EXPENSE.
WHAT THAT'S WHAT THAT MEANT SO FAR.
YEAH, THAT'S ABOUT WHAT I, I MEAN THERE WAS A THREE, THEY DIDN'T HAVE THAT PERSON.
SO THAT'S WHY EXPENSES LOOK REALLY, WE, WE WERE DOING LIKE 3,900 FOR THE FARM IN THE HISTORICAL AND THEN THE, A COUPLE YEARS AGO IT GOT DOUBLED TO THE 68.
WE STILL NEED TO ASK SOMEONE TO COME SEE US.
AND WHAT'S GOING ON? WHAT'S DAN? IS THAT, IS THAT NOT PAID? CINDY? CINDY RICH.
SHE PAID, SHE'S THE ONLY PAYMENT.
SHE WORKS MONDAY WEEK, BUT SHE DID START NOT TOO LONG.
UH, AND SEE THAT, THAT'S THE POINT TOO.
WHEN STUFF'S BROUGHT UP TO US, REALLY NOBODY IN THE COUNTY SIGNS OFF ON IT.
ALRIGHT, WELL WE DON'T EVEN KNOW IF IT'S DOING IT.
WE HAVE MONEY IN 4 0 9 FOR THE VETERANS, VETERANS SERVICE MEMORIAL WHERE WE DO REPAIRS WHEN THEY NEED IT, YOU KNOW, FOR THE OUT THERE.
WELL, YOU KNOW, MR. COUNTRYMAN USED TO BE ON THAT BOARD WHEN HE WAS THE COUNTY TREASURER.
WELL NOW THEY JUST DROP 'EM OFF AND WEREN'T PAID.
AND WE NEED SOMEBODY IN THE COUNTY THAT WILL ACTUALLY SAY, YEAH, I KNOW THEY REPLACED THE LIGHTS.
WELL THEY, BOBBY WHEN COMES UP HIM ON THE WATER AND EVERYTHING ON THE SPRINKLERS AND ALL THAT AND YEAH.
I'M JUST TELLING YOU SOME OF THE THINGS I'VE NOTICED THAT SOMEBODY COUNTS NOT SIGNING OFF ON IT.
WELL, THE
SO CINDY, I THINK SHE, BUT SHE JUST STARTED THE LAST, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT FARM MUSEUM HISTORICAL COMMISSION.
EITHER WAY, MAINTENANCE OR ANYTHING.
SHE, ANYTHING THAT ACTUALLY GETS PAID OUT OF THE HISTORICAL COMMISSIONER PARTIES, IT GETS FORWARDED TO RONNIE AND RONNIE FORD ON CONDUCT COMMISSION.
IF YOU ARE CURIOUS, UM, IF THAT INCREASE IN FUNDING STARTED IN THOUSAND 14,000 WAS THOUSAND AND 14 STARTED AT EIGHT AND I THINK THAT WAS BECAUSE OF THIS MASTER PLAN AND TRYING TO GET DRAWN UP TO PRESERVE IT.
I THINK THEY CAME TO BISHOP'S COURT OR SENT YOU SOMETHING AND ASKED FOR THEY, BECAUSE I KNEW IT WAS TWO HAVE CERTAIN PLAN COURT DON'T A TO GET ONE, IT'S ALL GONNA FALL IN ON ITSELF.
NO, IT'S NOT GOOD NOW THEY CAN'T WAIT MUCH LONGER.
UH, RIGHT QUICK ON THE PROJECT MANAGER, THAT'S PAM.
UH, THEN ON THE COUNTY JUDGE, THAT'S THE LAST ONE.
THE ONLY THING I MAY NEED, AND I'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT IT LATER ON, MAYBE, UH, SOME INCREASED, UH, UH,
[00:35:01]
MILEAGE AND MEALS, NOT MEALS, MILEAGE AND LUNCH FOR THE, SINCE THE LEGISLATURE'S GONNA BE IN SESSION THIS YEAR, BUT I'LL COME BACK AT THAT AT A LATER DATE.AND WHO WERE WE GOING AFTER? SEE IF WAS DOWN THERE SINCE TREASURER WHILE WE'RE WAITING ON HIM TO THERE HE IS.
WHICH BOARD ARE YOU ON? AND HE SAID YOU WERE ON THE BOARD.
IS IT FUNCTION, HIGHLY FUNCTION.
I MEAN, THEY'RE HAVING MEETINGS AND EVERYTHING.
WE'RE FUNCTIONING IN A VERY HIGH LEVEL JUDGE.
SO THAT'S WHY I WANTED, I THINK I LIKE YOUR IDEA OF PUTTING IT ON THE AGENDA FOR MONDAY.
AND I HAVE THAT READY TO SEND.
AND I'LL HAVE A NICE FULL PRESENTATION Y'ALL THAT WILL PROBABLY TAKE FIVE MINUTES IF THAT'S OKAY.
AND THAT'LL BE ON THE FARM AS WELL? YES.
WE'RE WE'RE, WE WANT TO SHOW Y'ALL A COMBINED, UM, SEE, I, WHAT I HAVE TOLD THIRD HAND INFORMATION IS, IS THAT THERE THEY, THAT THE HISTORICAL COMMISSION HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO HAVE A QUORUM OF MEMBERSHIP IN ORDER TO HAVE A LEGAL MEETING IS WHAT I'VE BEEN TOLD.
UH, MAYBE WE CAN GET THE MINUTES OF MEETINGS AND SINCE WE FUND THAT GROUP WITH SOME FUNDING, IT'D BE GOOD IF WE HAVE SOME COMMUNICATION YES.
UH, FROM THEIR MEETINGS WHERE, YOU KNOW, WE'LL, SO KNOW KIND OF WHAT'S GOING HOME.
WHAT I'LL GET FOR YOUR PACKET WILL BE WHEN I, THERE'S IN THERE I MINUTES I'LL TRY TO GET, DON'T HAVE NOTIFIED MONDAY.
BUT YEAH, NO, WE UH, WE'VE GOT REAL TRACTION JUDGE.
ANY MEMBERS ON THE BOARD AND HOW CAN Y'ALL MEET AND THAT SORT OF THING.
QUARTERLY AND I'VE GOT THE LIST DOWNSTAIRS OF MY IS EIGHT OR 10.
AND SO ALL OF THEM ARE MEETING, FOR THE MOST PART, VERY CONSISTENT.
I THINK THE COURT IS SUPPOSED TO APPOINT THOSE HISTORICAL COMM BY LAW, I BELIEVE.
WELL I, WHAT I KNOW IS RIGHT AFTER I GOT SWORN IN HERE, I WENT TO JUDI MCFADDEN'S HOUSE AND JUDGE RICH CAME DOWN AND SWORE IN BUNCH.
BUT THERE HAVE BEEN A FORUM ON THAT MEETING TODAY.
UH, AS FAR AS I KNOW, OF COURSE I DON'T RUN THAT.
I, I KNOW MEETINGS ARE POSTED AND I TRY TO SHOW UP EVERY TIME.
I MISSED ONE LIKE A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO ON THE SCHEDULE.
WELL, WE JUST DON'T HEAR ANYTHING.
I GUESS
UH, THAT IS CHANGING AND WE'VE GOT GREAT ENERGY AND WE'VE GOT GREAT PLAN AND A GREAT VISION TO SHARE WITH YOU.
YOU KNOW, OUR, WE'VE SPEND SO MUCH TIME IN THE COUNTY TALKING ABOUT TOURISM AND TALKING ABOUT UNIQUE FEATURES AND THE POOR FARM AS FAR AS COMMISSION MEMBERS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DETERMINE MAY BE THE ONLY SURVIVING FARM IN THE UNITED STATES.
THERE WAS ANOTHER ONE UP THERE.
IT SURE NEEDS TO BE BROUGHT UP.
SO YES, WE'RE, WE'RE GOING TO STICK WITH THE EXISTING PROPOSAL FOR NEXT YEAR, BUT WHAT WE'RE GONNA LAY OUT TO YOU ON MONDAY IS FUNDING A PLAN TO RESTORE THEIR SURVIVING BUILDING.
I KNOW THEY HAD, SOMEBODY CAME OUT AND, AND DID A LITTLE BIT OF PRELIMINARY PLAN OR SOMETHING THAT WAS SHOWING THEM SOMETHING AND DID A BUNCH OF IT PRO BON AND GOING GO BACK AND SOME PLANS, YOU KNOW, ANYTHING ABOUT ALL THAT THAT, UH, DIED ON THE BIN.
SO THAT WAS THE LAST TIME WE HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
AND THEN AGAIN, THAT WAS KIND OF WHEN WE ALL CAME ON BOARD WITH THOSE DID, BUT THAT'S GONE AWAY.
AND NOW, AND I THINK YOU PROBABLY HAVE HEARD RECENTLY WE CONTRACTED A STRUCTURAL ENGINEER AND I THOUGHT MAYBE THAT CAME THROUGH THE COMMISSION ANYWAY.
BUT WE, WE'VE, AGAIN, WE GOT A PLAN AND MS. RICH IS NOW WORKING FOR THE HISTORICAL COMMISSIONER.
SHE'S THE STAFF PERSON THAT WE'RE REQUIRED TO HAVE ONE DAY A WEEK.
AND THAT'S THE 6,800 THAT YOU FUND TO THE HISTORICAL COMMISSION.
THAT'S JUST ABOUT CO THAT COVER START PER SALE FOR PRACTICAL PURPOSES.
SO THEN WE'RE GETTING 6,800 FOR
[00:40:01]
FARM MUSEUM.AND UH, AND THAT HAS, ON BOTH OF THOSE ACCOUNTS, YOU KNOW, WE'VE ACCUMULATED A, A BIT OF MONEY.
UM, YOU KNOW, WE HAD A, WE, WE HAD A BUDGET MEETING LAST FRIDAY TO RIP TO LIST OUT WHERE WE'RE GOING AND WHAT WE'RE DOING.
AND YOU'LL SEE THIS IN A FORMAL STRUCTURE ON MONDAY.
AND WE'RE GOING SPEND THE MONEY THAT WE HAVE AND THAT'S PLAN AND WE'LL CARRY FORWARD OUT OF THIS FISCAL YEAR IN ABOUT FIVE OR $6,000.
SO WHEN WE'RE HERE THIS TIME NEXT YEAR, YOU'LL, YOU'LL HAVE ALREADY THANK YOU.
WE'RE GONNA KEEP GETTING INFORMATION TO YOU.
WE'LL INCLUDE Y'ALL IN WHAT WE'RE DOING BECAUSE WHEN WE'RE HERE A YEAR FROM NOW, WE'LL HAVE, HERE'S WHAT WE NEED TO DO THIS AND THEN WE'LL HAVE IT PLANNED OUT YEAR BY YEAR.
KNOCK OUT ONE OF THOSE BUILDINGS A YEAR THERE.
THERE'S TREMENDOUS INTEREST IN THE COMMUNITY TO HELP.
AND WE JUST NEED SOME LEADERSHIP.
I BELIEVE WE HAVE THAT CORRECT TEAM.
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WILL BE HELPFUL IS, UH, FOR US IS TO KNOW, UH, WHO IS ACTIVE AND WHO'S NOT ACTIVE.
AND WE NEED TO REAPPOINT OR APPOINT NEW MEMBERS TO THE COMMISSION.
UH, AND I DON'T THINK THERE'S A SET NUMBER, IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, WHEN I LOOK BACK, I MEAN I, UP TO EACH COUNTY, UH, TO, UH, OR EACH COMMISSION TO DETERMINE IF THEY WANT 10 MEMBERS OR SEVEN MEMBERS OR 27 MEMBERS I THINK.
BUT MS. RIDGE PROBABLY CANDEL INTO THAT AND FIND OUT ABOUT THAT.
WE JUST NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT ANYTHING THAT THEY'VE DONE HAS BEEN DONE WITH THE QUORUM PRISON.
AND THAT SHOULD BE IN BYLAWS OF THAT ORGANIZATION.
I DON'T HAVE THOSE, BUT WE MAY HAVE TO GO TO THE OFFICE SOMEPLACE.
BUT THAT'D BE SOMETHING BECAUSE THEY'VE SPENT MONEY WITHOUT HAVING A QUORUM THERE.
SO I'VE ALWAYS EMPHASIZED THAT THEY STAY IN TOUCH WITH REBECCA.
WELL IF THEY HAVE, I'M SURE THEY'RE OKAY.
AND AGAIN, THEIR, THE BELIEF IS THAT EVERYTHING IS JUST REALLY UP NICELY.
WELL I THINK THE COURT'S POSITION IS WE WANT TO HELP, BUT WE WANT MAKE SURE THAT IT, WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH ACTIVE MEMBERS.
WE NEED TO MAKE SURE WE GET ENOUGH ACTIVE.
AND, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES TOO BIG A BOARD IS UNWIELDY.
IT SEEMS LIKE WE'VE GOT A FOUR WORKING GROUP.
HOW MANY WOULD THAT BE ON FRIDAY? THERE'S 2, 4, 7 THOSE.
AND THAT'S, DO YOU THINK THERE'S EIGHT OR 10? UM, I KNOW THERE'S NINE OR 10 BECAUSE I KNOW YOU NEED SIX TO BE.
AND UH, AND AGAIN, I'VE GOT THAT LIST IN MY OFFICE AND THAT MIGHT BE PART OF YOUR PACK.
YOU'RE, YOU'RE, AND AGAIN, YOU'RE, YOU WILL BE ASKED NEXT TIME.
WANNA SPEND A YEAR BUILDING UP? THANKS FOR HAVING I LOVE THE EXERCISE, JUDGE.
YOU'RE NEXT ON THE HOT SEAT HERE.
STEVE, HOW ARE YOU? I'M GOOD JUDGE.
YOU GOOD JUDGE YOU ALRIGHT? VERY WELL.
SAW YOU EARLIER THIS MORNING, BUT YES, THE CHAIR.
UH, CHI IS HERE ON HIS, UH, BUDGET REQUEST.
AND IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, THERE WAS NO, NO REQUEST.
I THINK THE NOTE, THE, UH, THE ONLY ITEM JUDGE WAS THIS, UH, LETTER FROM JUDGE MURPHY.
THE ASSESSMENT FOR THE COUNTY FOR THE FIRST ADMINISTRATIVE JUDICIAL REGION WENT UP JUST SLIGHTLY.
I THINK THE OLD ASSESSMENT WAS 7,000 AND A FEW DOLLARS.
THE NEW ASSESSMENT IS 7,000 2 93 68.
OKAY, THAT'S, THAT WOULD BE LINE ITEM 43 15 4 22.
I DON'T HAVE MINE WITH ME JUDGE.
YEAH, I THAT'S WHAT IT SHOWS HERE.
WHAT, WHAT'S NUMBER? 72? 93 68.
I THINK THAT WAS THE ONLY CHANGE.
[00:45:02]
THE DIVERSION COURT.YOU WANT TO TALK A LITTLE ABOUT THAT? UH, NO CHANGES THERE.
YOU KNOW, WE GET A, UH, A PORTION OF THE FEES COLLECTED ON THE DRUG AND ALCOHOL RELATED CASES.
UH, ALL OF THAT MONEY IS EARMARKED BY STATUTE FOR THE COURTS.
WE GET PART OF IT STATEMENTS PART OF THAT FEE.
AND SO WE USE THAT FOR DRUG TESTING, CONTINUING EDUCATION, UH, THINGS RELATED TO THE DRUG COURT.
I THINK THAT IS ACTUALLY SEPARATE FROM ANY COUNTY BUDGET MONEY.
I THINK IT'S EARMARKED FUNDS, UH, BY STATUTE, ALL THAT.
THAT'S IN A SEPARATE IT IS VERY, VERY GOOD PROGRAM.
JUST SINCE YOU BROUGHT UP THE DRUG COURT, LEMME JUST SAY WE GRADUATED ABOUT 50 PEOPLE IN THAT PROGRAM SINCE I STARTED IT BACK IN 2010 OF THOSE FOLKS.
SO ALMOST ALL OF 'EM HAVE CO-OCCURRING DISORDERS, WHICH MEANS THEY'RE DRUG ADDICTED AND MENTALLY ILL.
VERY DIFFICULT POPULATION TO TREAT.
WE'VE HAD A 12% RECIDIVISM RATE.
OF THOSE WHO HAVE GRADUATED, NORMALLY YOU WOULD'VE ABOUT 75 OR 80% RECIDIVISM RE-OFFENDING.
BUT, UH, WE HAVE BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL WITH THAT PROGRAM AND, UH, NORMALLY EXPECT THOSE FOLKS TO BE IN THE PENITENTIARY AT A COST OF 75 OR $80 A DAY.
SO SAVING THE TAXPAYERS QUITE ENOUGH MONEY GOOD.
THE TAXPAYER'S GOOD FOR THE INDIVIDUAL REUNITED WITH THEIR FAMILIES.
THEY GET JOBS, THEY WORK JUST A GOOD, UH, JUST A GOOD PROGRAM.
GENTLEMEN, DO YOU HAVE QUESTIONS FOR JUDGE, UH, CHITTY, I KNOW YOU ARE GLAD TO GET THE FIVE WEEK, UH, CAPITAL MURDER TRIAL.
YOU HAVE THE CAPITAL CASE OVER ON YOUR VISITING JUDGE EXPERIENCE.
YOU ONLY HAVE A HUNDRED DOLLARS ALL YOU NEED.
UH, YOU KNOW, WE VERY SELDOM USE A VISITING JUDGE.
WE DID USE ONE TO DO SOME BO DIRE IN THE CAPITAL SINCE IT WAS A TWO MONTH LONG BO DIRE.
I USED JUDGE BEARD AND JUDGE PARKER TO DO SOME OF THAT.
AND, UH, KAREN TELL ME, DID THEY CHARGE ANYTHING OR DID THE STATE PAY FOR THE VISITING JUDGES? THE STATE PAID FOR, UH, THE VISITING JUDGES.
WE REIMBURSED FOR THE, THE MILEAGE AND OTHER EXPENSES.
DO YOU KNOW OFFHAND HOW MUCH THAT WAS? IT'S PROBABLY GONNA BE MORE THAN A DOLLARS.
IT'S, WELL, IT WAS CHARGED TO THE CAPITAL MURDER FUND.
YOU WE'RE GETTING SOME GRANT MONEY FROM THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE.
WE'LL JUST BY THE WAY, JUST SO YOU WILL KNOW, THE, UH, NOT WHETHER WE'VE HAD ANY OTHER BILLS COME IN ON THE EXPERT WITNESSES ON THE DEFENSE.
UH, AND IT WASN'T JUST EXPERTS, IT WAS FOR OTHER THINGS AS WELL, UH, TRANSCRIPTS, WHATNOT.
WE HAVE SPENT, WE SENT IT TO THE TIDC, TEXAS IN TO DEFENSE COMMISSION LAST WEEK, UH, $507,000 THAT WE'VE BEEN OUT FOR MR. BROWNLOW'S DEFENSE.
NOW THE GOOD NEWS ABOUT THAT IS, UH, WE'RE, WELL THE BAD NEWS FIRST IS WE'RE, WE'RE GOING TO GET MORE BILLS THAT HAVEN'T COME IN YET.
THE GOOD NEWS ABOUT THAT IS I BELIEVE THAT THE INDIGENT COMMISSION WILL REIMBURSE US FOR A HUGE PERCENT OF THAT I, WHETHER THEY'LL DO ALL OF IT.
BUT, UH, THAT'S BEEN THE INDICATION THAT THEY'VE, UH, THAT HAVE BEEN GIVEN AT LEAST.
SO, BUT THEY WON'T KNOW UNTIL THE END OF AUGUST THAT THAT'S WHEN THEIR BUDGET YEAR ENDS AND WE SENT IT TO THEM SO THEY GET IT FOR THEIR MEETING.
THEY HAD A MEETING JUNE THE SECOND AND THEY'VE GOT ANOTHER MEETING ON AUGUST THE 28TH AND THAT'S THE END OF THEIR BUDGET YEAR.
AND SO THEY'RE UNOFFICIALLY WHAT THEY TOLD ME, THEY GENERALLY HAVE SOME UNSPENT FUNDS THAT THEY WILL TRY TO HELP US OUT BECAUSE THEY REALIZE WE'VE HAD THESE TWO CAPITAL MURDER TRIALS HERE WITHIN TWO YEARS OF EACH OTHER.
SO PRETTY UNUSUAL FOR A COUNTY OUR SIZE.
SO, BUT WE HAD GONE FOR DECADES WITHOUT HAVING A THEFT MURDER CASE.
AND UH, YOU KNOW, WE HAD THE WIL CASE, THE BROWN LOCATION AND THE HOME INVASION CASE OUT OF HO AND JUST POP, POP, POP.
AND UH, IT'S VERY UNUSUAL, ESPECIALLY THIS COUNTY OUR SIZE.
Y'ALL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, UH, FOR THE
[00:50:01]
COURT JUDGE? GOOD.UH, AND I GUESS WE'RE WAITING ON STEVENS BE HERE.
HIS WIFE IS, I THINK THEY HAD GOING FOR A PRE-OP TODAY.
AND HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE HERE SURGERY.
BUT LEMME GO AHEAD AND MENTION A COUPLE OF OTHER THINGS TO YOU.
SINCE THIS BUDGET RELATED, THE CITY OF KAUFMAN HAS, UH, CONTACTED, UH, ME AND UH, VISIT WITH UH, BOBBY AND, UH, BOBBY AND RANDY ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF THEM LEASING SOME SPACE FROM US AT THE SOUTH CAMPUS.
AND SO THE FIRST, FIRST QUESTION OUTTA BOX, WHAT PHASE DO WE HAVE? AND UH, RHONDA IS THROUGH, UH, FOR THE MOST PART WITH ALL OF HER, WHAT YOU HEARD THIS MORNING.
I MEAN, SHE THREW EVERYTHING EXCEPT FOR BIG BOOKS, YOU KNOW, AND UH, SHE STILL HAS SOME, UH, BOXES STORED OUT IN THE SOUTH CAMPUS.
JUST SO GET, I DON'T HAVE A COPY OF THIS.
HERE'S THE COURTROOM, HERE'S THE LOBBY IN THE HALLWAY.
YOU CAN SEE THESE ROOMS. UH, WE COULD TAKE STUFF THAT'S STORED OUTTA THEM AND IT'S NOT GOING TO BE SENSITIVE.
IT'S ALL, IT'S THE IN PARTED RECORDS AND DIGITIZE THIS, THIS OTHER STUFF ACCORDING TO RHONDA AND STUFF THAT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE UNDER HUMIDITY CONTROL OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
BUT WE CAN FREE UP SEVERAL OF THESE OFFICES THAT ARE CHECKED.
OH, YOU TALKING ABOUT THIS IS METAL.
THIS IS, THIS IS THE COURT IN THE LOBBY AND ALL FIRE.
SO WHAT THE CITY WOULD LIKE TO DO IS RENT THAT SPACE FOR US FOR A TEMPORARY CITY WHILE THEY, UH, BUILD A, THEY EVEN TALKED ABOUT TRYING TO DO SOMETHING FOR OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT, BUT IT'S JUST, WE JUST DON'T HAVE A SPACE OUT THERE FOR OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT.
SO I THINK THEY'RE GONNA DO SOMETHING THERE.
AND THEY WOULD PAY US WHATEVER REPAIR VALUE IS FOR RENTAL PROPERTY.
AND LEE SAYS THAT'S, YOU KNOW, PROPERTY THOUSAND SQUARE FEET.
SO, BUT WE'VE GOTTA MAKE IT, YOU KNOW, AND THEY WILL HELP US BY THE WAY, MOVING THE STUFF OUT TOO.
THEY'LL GET THE CITY TO HELP MOVE OUT.
THE ONLY THING PAY WOULD BE UTILITIES BECAUSE TO SEPARATE UTILITIES THEY CAN PAY THEM OFF.
WELL WE DON'T USE BY THE END UPRATED SQUARE FOOT.
WE NOT EVEN DISCUSS UTILITIES, BUT WE INCREASE THE RENT.
THEY, YOU KNOW, THE BUILDING, THE BUILDING HERE.
SOME LODGE IS IN THE MASONIC LODGE.
DO WE HAVE ANYWHERE ELSE WE CAN PUT THEM AND THEN MOVE SOME OF THAT STUFF OVER THERE AND THEN MORE SPACE WE CAN ASSIGN THAT TO YOU ORKE FOR A, UH, NEGOTIATION? OH, NO, NO, NO, NO.
THAT HAS BEEN A, UH, THAT'S BEEN A, UH, JIMMY AND I MET WITH 'EM ONE TIME AND IT'S JUST BEEN ONE OF THOSE THINGS.
WE'VE NEVER GOT OFF A DEAD CENTER.
WELL YOU PAID A UTILITY INSURANCE.
YEAH, THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO REIMBURSE CHECK, UH, INSURANCE I BELIEVE HASN'T TAKEN CHECK YOU WELL.
HOW MUCH SPACE DO THEY HAVE AND HOW MANY MEMBERS ARE THEY? I DON'T KNOW.
THERE'S UH, THEY'VE GOT, THEY'VE GOT SEVERAL MEMBERS.
HOW MANY OF 'EM ACTUALLY MEET? I DON'T KNOW.
BUT, UH, WHEN WE MET IT WAS, UH, COMMISSIONER LIK AND I AND UH, I REMEMBER WHO ELSE JIMMY WAS THERE, HOW MANY MEMBERS? THERE WAS NOBODY THERE.
IT WAS KIND OF THEIR HEAD HONCHO.
[00:55:01]
FOUR, FIVE, WHATEVER.AND UH, THE TROUBLE OF IT IS THEY HAVE A A 99 YEAR LEASE FOR A DOLLAR A YEAR.
AND THEY, THE NIGHT THAT THE COURT AGREED TO THAT, WHICH WAS BACK IN THE NINETIES, I THINK, UH, AND IT SAID IN THE COURT THING THAT WE WERE SUPPOSED TO PAY THE UTILITIES DOWN THERE, GIVE IT TO THEM.
SWEEP WHAT? WELL, YOU KNOW WHERE THE SENIOR CITIZENS MEET OVER THERE? I'M NOT SURE CHURCH MAIL OWNED.
I JUST, I MEAN, I, I DON'T, I DUNNO, JOHN, I, I MEAN I DUNNO WHO JOHN OWES MAYBE PEOPLE, CITY, CITY HALL.
WELL I THINK MIKE, THE CITY MANAGER I THINK TOLD ME THEY HAVE 13 OR 14 PEOPLE NOT COUNTING THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND THE POLICE DEPARTMENT'S IN THERE WITH THEM.
I THINK THEY'RE IN AND ALL THAT PLACE FOR ALL THOSE PEOPLE.
BUT HE SAID THAT THIS WOULD WORK FOR THEIR, UH, FOR THE CITY HALL PURPOSES.
THEY CAN FIT EVERYBODY IN THERE.
BUT YOU GOT PEOPLE COMING IN, GOING PAYING WATER BILLS, YOU KNOW, AND SO, YOU KNOW, YOU'D HAVE YOUR REGULAR PEOPLE COME BY AND GIVE YOU PERMITS.
SO YOU'VE GOT YOUR REGULAR TRAFFIC THERE.
PLUS WE STILL HAVE COURT, UH, IN THIS, YOU KNOW, THIS THING TWO OR THREE DAYS A WEEK, AT LEAST TWO DAYS A WEEK.
THINK SOME THINGS SOME DAYS, THREE DAYS A WEEK.
SO, UH, WHICH WE ALREADY HAVE THE DAYS THAT THEY HAVE A COURT, WE ALREADY HAVE A BAIL OUT THERE.
SOME LOCATIONS THE CITY THINK, I THINK THEY'D WANT THEM ON IT.
WELL, I MEAN, OR THEY COULD COME TO THE BANK.
AND THEN THE OTHER THING IS GOING TO INCREASE, IF YOU GOT 12 OR 13 EMPLOYEES, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE 12 OR 13 EMPLOYEES EITHER PARKING IN THE BACK OR SOMEWHERE ON THE FRONT.
NOW WE'VE GOT QUITE A BIT OF PARKING THERE.
NOT THEY WOULD PARK, I'M SURE WHERE WE ASKED THEM TO PARK CITY BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE REALLY ANY OTHER PLACE TO, TO MOVE.
THEY'RE NOT GOING TO TEAR THE OLD CITY HALL DOWN UNTIL THEY GET THE NEW ONE PEOPLE, AREN'T THEY? I THINK THEY GOING WHERE THE OLD ONE END ISN'T IT? NOW THEY'RE GOING BUILD A NEW ONE WHERE THAT VACANT LOT IS UNDERSTAND.
THE WAY THEY TAKE IN THAT STREET THAT'S BETWEEN THAT, AND I MAY BE WRONG, BUT THE WAY I UNDERSTAND IS THAT THEY ARE GONNA TEAR THE OLD BEFORE THEY START THE NEW ONE.
BUT I, YOU KNOW, I NEED TO GET, YOU NEED TO GET SOMEBODY FROM THE CITY TO COME OVER AND TALK.
WHEN WERE THEY TALKING ABOUT DOING ALL THAT? UH, A SAP.
SO YEAH, THEY'RE FIXING TO HIRE AN ARCHITECT TO DESIGN THE, THE POLICE DEPARTMENT IN THE CITY ALL DESIGN IT YET.
WELL THEY'RE, THEY'RE, THEY'RE, I DON'T MIND ON THEM.
I'M JUST TELLING YOU WHAT I'VE BEEN TOLD.
I DUNNO, IT SOUNDS REAL TEAR DOWN.
WELL I'M ALL, I KNOW I'M THE NOW AS A PART OF GOING THROUGH THIS, ANGIE WAS ABLE TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT THE AGREEMENT WE HAD ON THE JAIL.
ANGIE, WHY DON'T YOU COME UP HERE OR HELP ME STUMBLE WHENEVER THE COURT, UH, WHEN WE BUILT BACK THE NEW JAIL, WHENEVER IT WAS CONSTRUCTED, WE SWAPPED SOME LAND WITH THE CITY OF C BACK.
AND UH, SO, BUT AS PART OF THAT DEAL, WE AGREED TO EXTEND A 12 INCH WATER LINE FROM BACK UP, I GUESS WHERE THE WHATABURGER IS OR SOMEWHERE MOONS IS OR WHAT THERE SOMEPLACE, UH, THAT'S A COUNTY PAID CAR THAT EXTENDED IT DOWN TO THE EAST END OF THE COUNTY DEAD ENDS WITH AN AGREEMENT THAT THIS IS WHERE YOU HELD ME WITH AN AGREEMENT THAT UH, AS SOON AS SOMEBODY TIED ONTO THAT, THAT THAT $284,000 THE COUNTY AGREEMENT FIRST, RIGHT.
WE HAD TO HAVE THE PIPE FOR THE WATER FOR THE JAIL.
SO WE, WE, WE HAD TO HAVE THE WATER.
WE DIDN'T HAVE TO HAVE A 12 INCH LINE, BUT IT MADE SENSE, YOU KNOW, FOR THAT AREA FOR THEM.
[01:00:01]
AND I DON'T THINK THE CITY REMEMBERED THAT EITHER.I DON'T REMEMBER THE EXACT DETAILS ON THAT.
BUT WE'VE GIVEN IT TO REBECCA TO LOOK.
DOES ANYBODY, I MEAN DOES THIS GIVE ANYBODY HEARTBURN? IF WE COULD DO DECIDE TO LEASE, I GUESS WE WORK.
WELL THAT'S JUST FYI WE GOT LOT, LOTS OF THINGS IN THE AIR RIGHT NOW.
YOU KNOW, WE GOT GOING ON SOUNDS OR FOCUS PROCESS.
THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE GETTING ME A, UH, LETTER AND INFORMATION ON WHAT THEY EXPECT US TO HELP THEIR PROGRAM OUT WITH.
DID EVERYONE GO OVER AND VISIT WITH THEM? I DID.
I I AT THE TIME, YOU KNOW, YOU LISTENED TO THEIR PRESENTATION AND AFTER THE OVER I THINK DIDN'T ASK A QUESTION, WHAT ARE THEY DOING NOW THAT'S GOING INCREASE? THEY NEEDS THAT MUCH MORE MONEY.
YOU KNOW, THEY'VE HIRED, UH, WHAT NAME MIKE? I THINK PART-TIME IT WAS A PART-TIME FOR THEIR OVERHEAD EXPENSES TO DO THIS OR I MEAN, THEY'RE ASKING A LOT OF MONEY.
I DON'T REMEMBER EXACTLY HOW MUCH IT WAS NOW.
WELL THIS YEAR 140 SOMETHING THOUSAND NEXT YEAR'S LIKE 300 SOMETHING THOUSAND.
IT MIGHT BE LIKE THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT.
THEY MIGHT GIVE THEMSELVES RAISES.
THAT'S SOMETHING THEY, I THINK THEY WILL NEED TO COME AND UH, MAKE A PRESENTATION TO THE COURT.
WE'RE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE WITH.
TO THE HOSPITAL SURGERY TOMORROW.
YOU, YOU AND HER BOTH IN OUR PRAYERS AS YOU GO FORWARD.
I THINK, UH, WE HAVE A COPY OF WHAT CONSTABLE HAS SENT US AND UH, THERE'S SEVERAL PAGES TRYING TO GET BACK TO THE ACTUAL EXTRA BLUE PART OF IT.
YEAH, THAT'S THE SAME CAMERAS EVERYBODY ELSE USED, BUT I MEAN THAT'S THE SAME ONE.
I THINK THEY'RE ALL PRETTY SIMILAR.
EVERYBODY GOING, I THOUGHT THERE WAS AN ACTUAL BUDGET PAGE IN HERE.
IS THERE, IS THERE ANGIE? UM, WE DON'T GET NO, WE DON'T GET WHAT IS SENT OUT TO THEM.
WE JUST GET WHAT THEY SEND US BACK.
SO KIND OF GO THROUGH WHAT YOU'RE, UH, WHAT YOU'RE ASKING FOR IN ADDITION TO WHAT'S, I GUESS WHAT'S USED.
UH, I'M ASKING FOR 50 SALARY INCREASE.
UH, SAME AS THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE.
UH, FROM MY UNDERSTANDING SINCE DEPUTY CONSTABLE, WE'VE BEEN ON THE SAME PAY SCALE, SAME BENEFITS, THE SAME EVERYTHING AS THE DEPUTY FOR THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE UNTIL THIS $850 RAISE WENT IN.
SO THEN WE CAN HAVE A NEW DEPUTY THAT STARTS HERE MAKING MORE THAN A DEPUTY CONSTABLE THAT'S BEEN HERE FOR SEVERAL YEARS.
SO I'M ASKING FOR THE $850 SALARY MAX INCREASE FOR THAT.
UH, KEEP ASKING TO DEFINE WAYS FOR MORE REVENUE TO DO STUFF.
UH, ONLY WAY THAT I REALLY WITH WHAT WE'VE GOT GOING ON OVER THERE IN ORDER FOR ME TO DO THAT IS ANOTHER DEPUTY WHERE WE CAN START ACTUALLY GOING OUT AND WORKING THE WARRANTS THAT WE'VE GOT IN OUR OFFICE.
UH, HE CAN HELP WITH ENVIRONMENTAL, HE CAN HELP SCHOOL HIS OWN TRAFFIC, ACTUALLY GET OUT AND WORK TRAFFIC AND HAVE TIME TO DO SOME STUFF.
[01:05:02]
I ASK HIM TO INCREASE MY EXTRA HELP POSITION FROM 20,000 TO 30,000, WHICH MATCH THE EXTRA HELP IN THE PRECINCT POOL THAT GOT AND THE, THE $5,000 SALARY INCREASE.AGAIN, THAT'S FOR THE, THE TAKE HOME CAROL STATE HOSPITAL.
AND UH, THE TAX OFFICE KEEPS ASKING FOR US TO COME AND ESCORT THEM TO THE BANK EVERY DAY AND DO ALL THAT STUFF.
RIGHT NOW, I DON'T HAVE THE MANPOWER TO DO THAT.
I TOLD THEM THERE'S, WHENEVER THEY GO, THEY CAN CALL US IF WE DON'T HAVE COURT GOING ON OR WE GOT SOMEBODY AVAILABLE THAT I COULD SEND SOMEBODY.
BUT THERE'S NO WAY THAT I CAN COMMIT TO BEING THERE AT A SET TIME EVERY SINGLE DAY TO DO THAT.
UH, THE RADARS AND THE CAMERAS, WHEN, WHEN WE GOT THE NEW CAR, LAST BUDGET, EVERY TIME WE'VE EVER GOT IN A CAR BEFORE THAT I KNEW OF IT ALREADY CAME AND FIT, CAME WITH THE CAMERAS AND EVERYTHING, THEY BASICALLY PUT A RADIO IN IT, PUT STRAPS ON IT AND IT WAS ON THE ROAD.
WHEN WE GOT, UH, THE CARS FOR MY OFFICE IN PRECINCT TWO LAST YEAR, IT JUST CAME WITH A CAR.
SO WE HAD TO GO AND GET IT PICKED, DECKED OUT AND EVERYTHING DONE.
UH, IT WAS AN OVERSIGHT ON MY PART AS FAR AS THE, UH, CAMERA GOES.
I SAW A DEAL IN THERE FROM PRECINCT TWO, GOT THE ESTIMATE TO GET IN, THE CARS PASSED OUT AND I THOUGHT IT SHOWED GETTING THE CAMERA, BUT IT SHOWED INSTALLING THE CAMERA, WHICH WAS INSTALLING THE CAMERA THAT THEY ALREADY HAD INTO THE NEW CAR.
THE CAMERA THAT I HAD IS AN OLD VHS CAMERA SYSTEM IN THE CAR THAT WE GOT RID OF.
SO I'M ASKING FOR A NEW CAMERA SYSTEM FOR, UH, THAT 2016 FOUR.
IT DOESN'T HAVE ONE NOW I'M ASKING FOR A RADAR SYSTEM FOR THAT CAR THAT DOESN'T HAVE ONE.
THE RADAR IN IT WOULDN'T TRANSFER EITHER FROM THE OTHER CAR THAT DID NOT HAVE ONE OR IT HAD ONE.
UH, IT DIDN'T HAVE THE REMOTE PUT.
IT WAS A HENLEY DOWN FOR A PS BEFORE I EVER STARTED THERE.
UH, SO IT WAS NOT TRANSFERRED INTO THE CAR.
AND UH, WE'RE ASKING FOR THE BODY CAMERAS THAT WE DON'T, WE DON'T HAVE IT ALL.
LISA, WHAT ABOUT THE, UH, YOU WERE JUST, I THINK JACK WAS STILL HERE LAST YEAR WHEN WE BOUGHT THE TWO VEHICLES.
THEY WERE KIND OF THE LAST MINUTE, FIRST THAT WE WERE ABLE TO GET A GOOD DEAL.
DO YOU REMEMBER ANY OF THE DETAILS ABOUT WHY WE DIDN'T HAVE A LITTLE VALVE FITTED OR JUST, JUST WELL IT'S LIKE YOU SAID, I BELIEVE IT JUST CAME OVER WITH AN EXISTING, UH, BID THAT I BELIEVE PRECINCT TWO HAD PRESENTED.
AND SO WE USED THAT EXISTING BID AND, AND IT WAS AN OVERSIGHT THAT THAT WAS, THAT THEY WERE GONNA TAKE EQUIPMENT 'CAUSE THEY HAD NEWER EQUIPMENT THAT THEY WERE TAKING OUT AND JUST TRANSFERRING INTO THAT VEHICLE AND SAVING SOME COSTS AND THAT WAS JUST A, AN OVERSIGHT.
WHAT HAS PRECINCT TWO DONE ABOUT, HAVE THEY ADDED THE EQUIPMENT OR DO YOU KNOW? WELL, THEY HAD EQUIPMENT.
THEY TOOK IT OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND INSTALLED IT IN THE NEW VEHICLE.
SO, SO THEY, THEY TRANSFERRED IT OVER.
SO THAT'S, WHENEVER YOU'RE LOOKING THROUGH THAT, UH, THE SPEC SHEET FOR THE VEHICLE, IT, IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S GETTING A RADIO 'CAUSE IT SAYS LIKE REMOVING AND INSTALL OR REMOVING AND REPLACE OR SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT.
BUT YOU'RE MISSING THAT CRUCIAL LINE OF
YOU GET YOUR NEW RADIO, YOUR, YOUR AREA RADIO GOT ONE COMING.
THEY JUST HAVEN'T INSTALLED IT.
BUT I THINK THE CONVERSATION WITH ME AND JACK ON THE CAR WAS WHENEVER THEY GOT IT, IT WAS, I THINK IT WAS DUE TO THE TIME THAT WE HAD TO GET THEM DELIVERED.
THEY DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO GET 'EM DECKED OUT BEFORE THEY GOT 'EM DELIVERED.
SO WE JUST GOT THE CARS AND THEN WE HAD THEM DECKED OUT AFTER WE GOT IT.
I REMEMBER SOMETHING ABOUT THAT.
THERE WAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH GETTING IT ON THE, AT THAT PRICE THAT WE HAD TO WORK WITH.
WELL, UH, AS FAR AS, DID WE PAY FOR, I'M SORRY.
DID WE PAY FOR 'EM THE VEHICLES? NO, I MEAN FOR DOING, WE PAID FOR SOMETHING WE DIDN'T GET.
NO, I REMEMBER IT WAS JUST A SPEC OUT SHEET ON WHAT IT WAS GONNA TAKE TO OUTFIT THE VEHICLE AND THAT THAT PARTICULAR PART WAS OVERLO.
SO AT THAT TIME WE JUST ORDERED THE VEHICLES.
IF I REMEMBER CHRIS, WE PAID FOR THAT, THOSE TWO VEHICLES OUT OF LAST YEAR'S BUDGET.
DID WE? NOT YEAR I BELIEVE SO.
AND, AND WHAT HAPPENED WAS, LIKE I SAID, PRECINCT TWO HAD ALREADY BEEN DEALING WITH PURSUIT AND GOT A, A BID
[01:10:01]
ON GETTING EVERYTHING DONE.SO I BASICALLY, INSTEAD OF HAVING TWO DIFFERENT DEALS GOING, I BASICALLY SAID, OKAY, WE'LL JUST DO THE SAME THING THAT Y'ALL ARE DOING.
WELL, WHEN I READ DOWN THROUGH THERE, IT SAID SOMETHING ABOUT THE RADAR AND ALL OF THAT STUFF, BUT I DIDN'T LOOK OVER AT EQUIPMENT WHERE IT SAID THAT THEY'RE PURCHASING ONE OR DIDN'T PURCHASE ONE.
SO WHAT? BECAUSE THEY TRANSFERRED A NEWER UNIT THAT THEY HAD INTO THEIR VEHICLE AND THAT WAS OVERSIGHT ON MY PART.
OR I WOULD ASK FOR ONE BACK LAST BUDGET WHEN, OR LAST YEAR WHEN WE DID ALL OF THIS.
BUT I THOUGHT THAT HAD, OKAY, LET'S GO BACK UP THE TOP AND TALK ABOUT THE $850 SALARY INCREASE.
YOU'RE NOT DOING ANYTHING TODAY ON SALARIES.
WE'RE JUST, UH, YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY, YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT SURE WHAT WE'RE GONNA BE ABLE TO DO.
UH, OBVIOUSLY THE COURTS AWARE OF $850 AT THE, UH, LAW ENFORCEMENT, YOU KNOW, THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE GOT UH, UH, AND THEIR, UH, JAIL EMPLOYEE JOB AND THAT.
SO WE'LL HAVE TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION WHEN WE START WORKING ON THE SALARY PORTIONING OF THE BUDGET AS FAR AS THE NEW DEPUTY POSITION IS CONCERNED, UH, WARRANT OFFICER AND ENVIRONMENTAL.
AND YOU, YOU HAVE YOUR CELL AND ONE OTHER DEPUTY, IS THAT RIGHT? PART-TIME AND A PART-TIME.
IS THAT PART-TIME PAID OUT OF THE UH, 20,000 OR THAT YOU HAVE? YES.
AND HE'S ACTUALLY ON THE STREET.
ALL THE PAPERWORK THAT GOES THROUGH THERE, I DO.
OF OF MY PEOPLE ARE ON ACTUALLY WORKING ON THE STREET.
AND UH, THEN ON THE, UH, THIS NEW, IN OTHER WORDS, YOU WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A NEW DISTRICT PERIOD.
ACTUALLY, WHAT I'D REALLY LIKE TO DO IS EITHER I'D LOVE TO HAVE A NEW FULL-TIME POSITION.
WHICH IS WHAT YOU'RE TALKING, THAT'S WHAT I'M ASKING FOR.
I DIDN'T FIGURE I WAS GONNA GET IT, BUT I ASKED FOR IT.
UH, BUT IF I CAN'T DO THAT, I WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO BUMP MY PART-TIME TO A FULLTIME POSITION.
AND THEN IF WE DID THAT, YOU NEED EXTRA HELP? I COULD STILL USE IT, BUT WE COULD, WE COULD, WE COULD DO A LITTLE BIT MORE IF I COULD GET HIM AT LEAST POSITION.
AS FAR AS HELPING WITH THE ENVIRONMENTAL, WE ARE LOOKING AT PROBABLY, WELL MAYBE SURE.
MAYBE A FULLTIME ENVIRONMENTAL OFFICER, YOU KNOW, SINCE HE HAS THOSE TWO THERE, THERE.
AND THEN, UH, AS FAR AS THE UH, $5,000 SALARY INCREASE, THAT'S, UH, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, THAT'S SOMETHING WE'RE HANDLING AS WE LOOK AT THE OVERALL.
UH, AND GUYS, I'M JUST TALKING HERE IN HERE AS FAR AS THE RADAR AND THE CAR CAMERA, UH, I THINK WE SHOULD BUDGET FOR THAT.
THAT'S JUST KIND OF PART EQUIPMENT.
YOU DON'T HAVE ANY BODY CAMERAS.
HERE'S THEY GOT ON GRANT INFORMATION.
I THOUGHT BRIAN GOT SOME OF THOSE OFF OF THAT GRANT.
I, I HAVEN'T SEEN THEM SO I'M ASSUMING I'VE NEVER SEEN 'EM WITH A YES SIR.
NO, THEY GOT PRECINCT, BUT, OKAY.
WELL REGARDLESS, I DO THINK WE PROBABLY DO GET THE BODY CAMERAS IN THAT PRESS TOO.
IT'S, THAT'S JUST FOR THE CAMERAS.
BECAUSE IF WE END UP GOING WITH THE BODY CAMERAS STUFF, I GONNA HAVE TO HAVE THE PROGRAM SIDE OF IT ALSO.
UNLESS IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN, IF, IF WE GO WITH THE SAME CAMERAS THAT THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE GOT, WHOEVER'S GOT, IF WE CAN SAME ONE OR WHATEVER'S FAMILY, THEY WON'T, THEY WON'T LINK.
THERE'S GOING, THEY REALLY HAVEN'T BECAUSE IT'D BE HARD TO DOWNLOAD.
IT JUST THE LICENSE SIDE OF IT, I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT WORKS.
BUT IF, IF MY OFFICE WOULD BE ABLE TO FALL UNDER THE SAME AS THEM AND BE ABLE TO THINK, I THINK HE HAD TO THE SAME ONE.
SO, AND IF WE CAN DO THAT, THAT'S FINE.
IT DOESN'T MATTER TO ME WHICH GRANT.
BUT YOU DIDN'T, I THINK THE OTHER GRANT WAS THE OFFICER PRECINCT FOUR BECAUSE BRIAN DIDN'T WANT, DIDN'T WANT FOOL WITH IT.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT, THAT MAY BE HOW TUBE ENDED UP WITH THE CAMERAS.
[01:15:01]
JUST, IT JUST SEEMS TO ME THAT WE SHOULD PROVIDE BODY CAMERAS FOR ALL OF OUR CONSTABLES.I MEAN IN TODAY I THINK EVERY OFFICER OUT ON THE STREET OUGHT HAVE, YOU KNOW, BUT WITH US, YOU KNOW, WE'RE DOING THESE EVICTIONS AND DOING THEM ACTUAL PHYSICALLY MOVING PEOPLE OUT AND EVERYTHING AND UH, ME HAVING THAT ON VIDEO, ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY COME BACK TO TRY TO SUE US BECAUSE THEY'RE MISSING GRAND.
A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS RING IN A 2000 HOUSE.
YEAH, IT DEFINITELY NEEDS TO BE THE SAME.
BUT IT JUST, IT WORKS OUT A WHOLE LOT BETTER WHEN YOU CAN COME BACK AND SAY, HERE'S VIDEO OF EVERYTHING WE DID.
YOU KNOW, WE NEED TO ASK GEORGE ABOUT THAT, I GUESS.
SO LIKE I SAID, WHATEVER CAMERA IT IS, IT DOESN'T MATTER TO ME AS LONG AS WE CAN GET SOMETHING.
BUT YOU WOULD JUST NEED ONE PER PERSON AND WE DIDN'T GET THAT OTHER DEPUTY WOULD NEED $2,500 FOR THAT.
YOU, THAT'S ANOTHER THING I COME BACK TO ALL THE TIME ANYWAY.
IT DOESN'T, I DON'T CARE IF THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT OR THE CONS DEPARTMENT, LIKE WE'D HAVE A QUARTERMASTER'S THING AND HE'D GO OVER AND GET A BODY CAM.
I MEAN, AND WE'D ALL BE UNDER THE SAME LICENSE.
YOU KNOW, INSTEAD OF ARGUING WITH EVERYBODY AND I WOULDN'T HAVE PROBLEMS THAT LONG AS WE AIN'T GOTTA DO THAT CHECKING IN AND OUT EVERY DAY.
YEAH, NO, NO, I MEANT JUST CHECK THEM OUT THEN WE, YOU GET TERMINATED OR FIRED, TURN IT BACK IN.
WE WOULDN'T HAVE PROBLEMS. THAT BIG SHIFT.
I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW WHY WE, WE DON'T TALKED TO THE SHERIFF'S PROBLEM.
I MEAN, YOU KNOW, FIND OUT WHAT, AREN'T THEY PUTTING BODY CAMERAS ON ALL THEY GOT? THEY BOUGHT 60 THOUGH.
THAT'LL BE ONE FOR ME, ONE FOR MY FULL-TIME GUY, ONE FOR MY PART-TIME GUY AND ANY, WHENEVER I HAVE A RESERVE THAT WORKS EVERY MONDAY AND TUESDAY LIKE CLOCKWORK, I'VE GOT ANOTHER RESERVE HOPEFULLY THAT Y'ALL ARE GONNA APPROVE THE 13TH.
WILL HE WORK DESIGNATED DAYS OR JUST WHENEVER HE'LL BE WORKING JUST WHENEVER, BUT HE'LL BE WORKING, UH, MAINLY FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.
UH, THE OTHER ONE I'VE GOT, HE'S, HE'S THERE LIKE CLOCK WORK EVERY MONDAY AND TUESDAY.
YOU KNOW, ISN'T THE BIG ACTIVITY DAYS LIKE SATURDAY AND SUNDAY WHEN YOU SHOULD HAVE EXTRA PEOPLE SCHOOL I CRIMINAL LIFE LAW ENFORCEMENT WISE? YES.
SIMPLY, WE DON'T DO ANYTHING ON SUNDAY.
UH, BUT EVERY DAY ALL THE STUFF THAT WE CAN'T GET DURING THE WEEK, PEOPLE ARE AT WORK OR WHATEVER.
WE'RE NOT THERE SERVING EVICTIONS, SERVING ANY KIND OF CIVIL PAPERS.
YOU KNOW, WE'RE USUALLY AT THE OFFICE TILL FIVE, SIX O'CLOCK, SOMEWHERE IN THERE IF WE CAN'T SERVE 'EM DURING THE WEEK DURING THAT TIME.
AND I'VE GOT A DEPUTY THAT WORKS EVERY SATURDAY AND HE CAN GO AND HIT THEM THAT ARE WORKING DURING THE WEEK ON SATURDAY AND GET 'EM SERVED.
Y'ALL SAY WORK HIGHWAY 80 GOING DOWN THE WARDS, WHICH, 'CAUSE I SEE HIM EVERY SATURDAY MORNING, AFTERNOON.
YEAH, HE, HE, YEAH, HE'S PRETTY GOOD.
AND THAT'S THE ONE THAT I'M TRYING TO GET BUMPS AT LEAST FULL TIME IS THE ONE THAT'S OUT EVERY SATURDAY.
ANYBODY HAVE ANY, ANY QUESTIONS? UH, I GOT A COUPLE.
WELL, UH, THE ADDITIONAL EMPLOYEE AND EXTRA HELP, IS THERE ANY KIND OF DECISION ON THAT? NO, NOT YET.
