UM, IT'S A, UH, GOVERNMENT ACCOUNT, GOVERNMENT ACCOUNT STANDARDS.
UM, IT'S, I TRY AND SET, CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD A LITTLE BIT.
UM, IT IS A, UH, VALUATION OF THE RETIREMENT SYSTEM.
UM, FOR THIS, THE ENTIRE RETIREMENT RETIREMENT SYSTEM, THEY HAVE TO EVALUATE THE PLAN EVERY TWO YEARS.
AND THIS WOULD BE THE VALUATION, UH, WILL BE USED FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2017 ACCOUNTING PURPOSES.
IT'LL BE USED FOR THE NEXT TWO YEARS.
THIS WOULD BE THE FEE THAT THEY WOULD, UM, DO THAT VALUATION.
AND THEN, UH, YOU BROKEN INTO THREE PAYMENTS.
I BELIEVE IT'S ON ACTU ACTUARY STUDY THAT REQUIRED IN OUR OUTSIDE AUDITORS.
YOU LOOK AT IT AND ALL THE ISSUES GOING ON IN DALLAS AND OTHER AREAS.
IT'S UH, JUST THE SAFETY TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR COUNTY RETIREMENT, WHAT'S THE IT'S 50 EXPLANATION.
[00:15:04]
60.YEAH, IT WAS LIKE 4,800 LAST YEAR.
BUT THEY'RE GIVING US A PRICING DISCOUNT.
SO IT'S NOT, IT'S NOT THAT'S TRUE.
IT'S THIS WOULD PAID US EVERY TWO YEARS AND WE USUALLY PAY THAT OUT.
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES ON ITEM.
I HAVE A MOTION REGARDING THE, UH, GP UH, INCREASE A MOTION, PHILLIP TO HAVE A SECOND, SECOND, SECOND.
NUMBER, THE AGENDA IS TO DISCUSS, JUDGE, WHAT? I'M SORRY, I I HAVE A QUESTION.
THE PAPERWORK SAID IT'S A FEE DECREASE, BUT BASICALLY YOU SAID WE WERE JUST APPROVING THAT THE FEE TO DO THIS, THE AGENDA SAYS IT'S AN INCREASE.
IT'S ACTUALLY NOT AN INCREASE.
IT'S, IT'S ACTUALLY A FEE THAT WE PAY EVERY TWO YEARS TO HAVE THE, THE, UM, ACTUARY SERVICES DONE.
SO THE, SO THE AGENDA SHOULDN'T SAY INCREASE.
IT SHOULD JUST SAY, IT SHOULD SAY JUST SAY CONTRACT.
THE PRIOR FEE WE PAID WAS 5,860 BUCKS.
ALRIGHT, SO THE BASE FEE IS 54 75 MINUS THEY GAVE US 835 DISCOUNT PLUS 125 NET COST FEE, WHICH IS 1,095 LESS THAN THE PRIOR FEE OF 58 CENTS.
BUT, BUT THE POINT I THINK THAT SHE SAYS WAS MORE IS WE NEED TO APPROVE THE FEE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH YES, IT'S A WHOLE NEW CONTRACT.
IT'S $4,765, WHICH IS LESS THAN WHAT WE PAID LAST YEAR.
SO THE MOTION THAT WAS MADE, UH, WHO MADE A MOTION? I DID.
YEAH, I GUESS WE NEED CHANGE THE MOTION TO THE, UH, DECREASE.
DECREASE A DECREASE IN THE AMOUNT FROM THE TWO YEAR PREVIOUS OVER THE DISCOUNTS OF KEEPING THE SERVICE PAID.
THE CONTRACT LONG TO JUDGMENT MOTION SHOULD REALLY BE JUST TO ACCEPT THE CONTRACT.
CONTRACT, THE CONTRACT WITH, UM, THE NEW PROMIS, THE NEW, UH, PRICE 4,000 YESTERDAY.
YEAH, IT SHOULD BE THE, I'LL HAVING A MOTION TO SAY, MAKE A MOTION TO ACCEPT THE RENEWAL OF THE CONTRACT WITH THE NEW OF 47 60 POUNDS.
SO DOES THAT GET YOU WHAT YOU NEED? OKAY.
ALL IN FAVOR? SAY I HAVE THOSE POSTS AND REALLY I GUESS WE COULD HAVE COMBINED THESE TWO.
NUMBER 10 IS TO DISCUSS AND CONSIDER APPROVING DISTANCE ASSOCIATE AGREEMENT WITH GABRIEL ROTOR, SMITH AND COMPANY FOR, UH, CONSULTING IN OUR ACTUARY IN SERVICES IN CONNECTION WITH.
SO DO I HAVE A MOTION REGARD THAT YEAH, I A, I HAVE A MOTION FROM COMMISSIONER PHILLIPS TO HAVE A SECOND.
ALL IN FAVOR? SAY A UH, NEXT IS SHERIFF BEAVERS.
WE READY? HUH? YOU READY? LOOKS LIKE PRETTY WELL.
[00:20:01]
WELL SELF EXPLANATORY, NOT YOU GOT ANY QUESTIONS? I'M GLAD THAT ANSWER, I READ ALL THIS OUT.NO, IT'S GOOD TO HAVE THIS SHERIFF'S OFFICE FEBRUARY 28 DAY MONTH.
SO PROBABLY MAY NOT BE QUITE AS HIGH WHAT THEY WERE IN OTHER MONTHS, BUT, UH, I DUNNO.
WELL, YOU KNOW, PRESENCE, I MEAN NATIONAL AVERAGE ABOUT 3%.
YOU, ANYTHING YOU'D LIKE TO ADD? THAT'S IT.
DON'T HAVE, DON'T HAVE ANY MOTION.
ACCEPT A MOTION TO ACCEPT SHERIFF'S REPORT.
THOSE THANK YOU CHIEF FOR BEING HERE.
NEXT ITEM IS FROM OUR FIRE MARSHAL, UH, WHO ALSO HEADS UP OUR ENVIRONMENTAL ENFORCEMENT IN OUR PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT.
SO RANDY, IF YOU'D LIKE TO COME BACK, YOU ALSO HAVE A REPORT FOR US? YES, SIR.
I, UH, EXTRA PRESENTED BECAUSE IT'S THE FIRST TIME PRESENTING ABOVE THE REPORT.
I WENT AHEAD AND PRESENTED, UH, THE FISCAL YEAR OF 2016.
GOOD FOR THE FRONT SHEET OF EACH DEPARTMENT.
AND THEN, UH, THE FORMAT UP NEWS WOULD BE PRETTY MUCH JUST A SPREADSHEET AND UH, MY INTENTION WILL BE THROUGH THE COMING MONTHS TO KEEP THE SAME NUMBERS EACH COLUMN FOR THE PREVIOUS MONTHS AND JUST SHOW NUMBERS.
UH, NOT MUCH REVENUE GENERATED, YOU KNOW, DIRECTLY THROUGH THE DEPARTMENT, NOT A FINANCIAL INDIRECTLY COURT SYSTEM.
I MEAN DUMP THIS YEAR WE, 23RD OF FEBRUARY LAST YEAR.
62 REALLY? I KNOW OUR GUYS ARE PICKING UP, PICKING UP AND STUFF.
I CLEANUPS ACTUALLY DOWN AND THE CLEANUPS ARE EVEN UP ELECTRIC.
HOW DO YOU KEEP TRACK OF THE HOME BASE? JUST KNOWING WHICH ONES THAT WE DO AND THEN, UH, WHICH ONES ENVIRONMENTAL AND THEY CALL US.
SOMETIMES OUR GUYS JUST SEE THEM.
THEY JUST GO BACK OUT THERE AND TAKE CARE OF THEM.
IF THAT'S THE CASE, THEN WE WOULD GO BACK IT UNLESS SHE, BUT WE NEED TO NOTIFY YOU WHEN DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
IT WOULD HELP WITH THE NUMBERS YOUR LOT TIMES CLEANED UP THEMSELVES.
NOT TELL ME ABOUT SAGE YARD INSPECTION YOU DOING ON THAT.
THOSE ARE JUST, THOSE ARE REQUIRED BY STATE LAW.
PD R REQUIRES TO SELL THE CHARGES A INSPECTION AND UH, PRETTY MUCH IT'S GOING THROUGH TO MAKING SURE THAT THEY'RE MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF WHAT THE STATE LAW MANDATES.
THE SCREEN ALONG THE FRONT AND, UH, NO OILS, THINGS LIKE THAT.
ARE, UH, COMMISSIONER BARBER, I THINK YOU HAD A PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WITH, UH, SOME OF OUR ENVIRONMENTAL GUYS YOU WANT ABOUT WHAT, WHAT TOOK PLACE IN YOUR PRECINCT? WELL, LAST WEEK, UH, ACTUALLY, UH, HERE IN CONWAY, HE WORKS WITH ME AS A SUPERVISOR OVER MY OFFICE AND EVERYTHING THERE, UH, HE WENT WITH UH, RANDY OUT LOOKING AT SEVERAL PROPERTIES, UH, SOME THAT WE'VE RECEIVED COMPLAINTS ON AND JUST SOME THAT WE'VE FOUND ON OUR OWN THAT, UH, AND OF COURSE RANDY KNEW ABOUT A BUNCH OF 'EM ALREADY, BUT WE'RE GONNA BE WORKING WITH HIM AS MUCH AS WE CAN TO GET THESE PLACES CLEANED UP AND UH, GET THESE, UH, ALL THIS STUFF CALLED OFF.
WE TRY TO GET DECISIONS TO CLEAN UP WHAT THEY CAN, BUT SOME JUST NOT ABLE TO MAKE CONTACT WITH.
[00:25:01]
YOU KNOW, THE SIMPLE ONES THAT CAN BE LOADED UP IN THE BACK OF THE PICKUP TRUCK OR, SO.COURT SYSTEM COMMISSIONER PHILLIPS BEEN SUCCESSFUL AT THAT.
WE, WE HAVE BRAND NEW COMMISSIONER, SIMILAR SITUATION.
THAT'S THE, IT'S NOT GONNA WORK WELL THOUGH, I DON'T THINK ON THE, UH, REPORT.
UH, AGAIN, YOU HAVE THE SAME 2016 IN THE CURRENT YEAR, COMPLETED MONTHS AND AS WELL AS PUBLIC WORKS, UH, I DID SHOW MONTHLY DEPOSITS DIVISION TO THE ACTIVITY THAT WE'VE HAD.
THE, UH, THE FIRE MARKETING REPORT ON THE GRASS BRUSH, HAY FIRE.
I JUST KIND OF, RATHER THAN CREATING A LOT OF DIFFERENT COLUMNS, I KIND OF CATEGORIZED ILLEGAL BURNING AND BURN HANDS, WHICH ACTUALLY TWO SEPARATE VIOLATIONS, BUT I KIND OF PUT THOSE TOGETHER.
AND THEN THE, UH, FALSE ALARM PATROL CALLS THAT WE CALL OUT FOR THAT ACTUALLY TURN ON DUTY.
NOT MUCH PRETTY MAJOR FIRE DOWN, RIGHT? YES SIR.
THAT'S PART OF THE REASON I'M VERY CLOSE.
PROXIMITY TO THE BARN, WE'RE ABLE TO, WITH THE USE OF THEIR TRACTORS AND FIRE DEPARTMENT FORCES, WERE KEEPING COOLER LINES ON THE TRACTOR DOORS, SEPARATING OUT UNBURN TO BURN, CREATE A BARRIER THERE OR DISTANCE AREA BEFORE WE WOULD'VE, WE SAVED ABOUT 300 A DAY IN THE BLOCK.
COULD I MAKE A SUGGESTION? UH, I NOTICED MONITOR THE RADIO DAM AND I NOTICED THAT MANY TIMES THAT OUR VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENTS RESPOND TO CONTROLLED MURDERS.
UH, SOME OF THEM THAT, YOU KNOW, A FEW OF THEM DO GET OUT HAND, BUT SOME OF THEM, THEY PEOPLE JUST NEVER CALLED IN AND TOLD THAT, IS THERE SOME WAY WE CAN DO SOME PUBLICITY ON THAT? MAYBE PUT IT ON OUR WEBSITE AND PROCEDURE AND MAYBE THE MEDIA COULD HELP US DO THAT.
SO THAT IS A WASTE OF THE MANPOWER.
IF, IF, UH, YOU'VE GOT, YOU KNOW, A CONTROLLED BURN GOING ON AND THAT, AND AGAIN, I KNOW THAT SOME DO GET OUTTA CONTROL FROM THAT, BUT UH, YES, WE, WE HAVE THE, UH, CONTROL BURN.
THEY'RE ACTUALLY REGULATIONS IS NOT A LAW THAT MANDATES THAT THEY NOTIFY.
IT'S MORE OF A COURTESY RIGHT.
FOR THE REASONS THAT WE'RE DISCUSSING NOW.
BUT WE DO, UH, WE DO PUT THAT ON OUR WEBSITE AND OUR FACEBOOK PAGE.
WE USUALLY DO AN ANNUAL AND IT'S, IT'S TYPICAL.
I MEAN NOT ALL OF 'EM ARE THAT WAY, BUT A LOT OF THEM ARE PEOPLE JUST DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD.
THEY SEE A FIRE AND THEY CALLED IT IN DISPATCH TRYING TO GET INFORMATION AND UH, THEY, THEY SAID I'M FIVE MILES DOWN THE ROAD.
I SAW FIRE IT, IT RIGHT THERE.
I THINK THEY HAD ANOTHER SPRINGS LAST NIGHT TOO.
JUST SEEMS LIKE IT'S TOO WINDY.
COMMON SENSE ME NOW THE PUBLIC WORKS REVENUE.
DO YOU, DO YOU SEND MONEY TO THE STATE, SEND THE REVENUE TO THE STATE? YES SIR.
FOR EVERY NEW INSTALLATION'S DONE, UH, IN ESSENCE THAT IS WITHIN ITSELF
[00:30:01]
A HAZARDOUS SITUATION.SO STATE LAW REQUIRES THAT PAPER BE DONE.
THE HONOR OF THAT SYSTEM HAS TO FILE AN AFFIDAVIT WITH THE COUNTY CLERK.
BASICALLY PUTTING THE CITIZENS ON NOTICE THAT WE HAVE A POTENTIAL HAZARDOUS SITUATION HERE IF PROPERLY MAINTAINED.
THERE'S NEVER AN ISSUE AND THOSE THAT ARE NOT MAINTAINED THAT CAN ACTUALLY PROVIDE THE, UH, THE LIQUID EXPERT AND SO FORTH TO BE OUT ON THE OPEN GROUND.
BUT PART OF THAT PROCESS, BECAUSE WE ARE THE AUTHORIZED AGENT FOR THE STATE OF TEXAS AND WE'RE ASSUMING ALL THE RESPONSIBILITIES IT THIS, UH, THEY'RE CHARGING US A 10 FEE FOR EACH SYSTEM THAT GOES EACH NEW SYSTEM.
SO YOU'RE SENDING 10 FEE PERMIT FOR THE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE MAINTENANCE CONTRACTING BILLS.
I THINK WE PAY IT BY THE QUARTER.
AM I CORRECT? SO YOU PAID HIM FOR THE PRIVILEGE TO WORK? YEAH, I GUESS SO.
SO IT'S ALWAYS BEEN, AND OF COURSE THOSE NUMBERS ARE GONNA CONTINUE.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM THE FIRE MOTION? I HAVE A MOTION TO ACCEPT THE REPORT AS PRESENT.
HAVE A MOTION FROM COMMISSIONER WALKER.
ALL IN FAVOR? SAY ITEM NUMBER.
ITEM NUMBER 13 IS TO DISCUSS AND CONSIDER LINE ITEM TRANSFER.
ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OVER THE TRANSFER? Y'ALL UNDERSTAND WHAT I DID? WHERE I CHANGED THE BUDGET STUFF? OKAY.
ANYBODY HAVE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS ABOUT ENTERTAIN A MOTION ITEM? PHILLIPS SECOND.
AND THEN THE LAST ONE, UH, IS THE, UH, CLAIM FOR PAYMENT.
YOU HAVE A COPY OF THESE FOR SINCE LAST WEEK.
ANYBODY HAVE ANY UH, COMMENTS ABOUT ANY OF THOSE? NOT, GO AHEAD.
YOU NEED
ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? SOME OF THAT WAS, UH, NON MONEY I SUPPOSE WAS TRANSPORTATION BOND FOR YOU REMEMBER? UH, 43% OF THAT WAS HEALTH, LIFE AND WORKERS' COMP BECAUSE WE PAID US THE HEALTH INSURANCE PAID BY THE MONTH.
THE, UH, OTHERS WERE PAID ON A MONTHLY AND A QUARTERLY BASIS.
SO WE HAD TO MAKE THOSE PAYMENTS AND IT JUST HIT IT ALL ONE TIME.
OUR QUARTERLY PAYMENT TO THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT, UH, THEN OUR INMATE HOUSING HAD AND, UH, ROAD ON EXPENDITURES WERE 55,000.
ALL DO I HAVE A MOTION TO UH, APPROVE THE, UH, SECOND, SECOND, SECOND.
ALL IN FAVOR? SAY A OPPOSED? UH, WE HAVE A MOTION TO ADJOURN MOTION, MR. YES SIR.
WE ARE GONNA GO INTO AN EXECUTIVE SESSION.
WE HAD AN ADDENDUM THAT WAS ISSUED, SO WE WILL EXIT THE, UH, REGULAR MEETING AND GO INTO AN EXECUTIVE SESSION.
SO, SO DO I HAVE A MOTION, UH, TO UH, GO INTO A CLOSE? ALRIGHT, WE HAVE A MOTION FROM PHILLIPS.
AND WE'LL HEAR FROM OUR ATTORNEY.
[00:35:01]
OKAY.THE COURT, UH, A MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER PHILLIPS, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER BARBER AND THE TIME WAS 10 15.
SO DO I HAVE A MOTION, UH, CONCERNING THE, ANY ACTION, UH, FOLLOWING THE MOTION? NO.
