IT'S A KIND OF REQUIREMENT FROM FEMA TO HAVE THIS PLACE.
I MOVED TO APPROVE THE, UH, RECOMMENDATION OF, UH, PURCHASING MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN.
EXCUSE ME, BY COMMISSIONER HALE.
IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION BEFORE WE VOTE? ALL OF PAPERS? AYE.
SORRY, COMMISSIONER, I WAS CHOKING THERE.
UNAUTHORIZED THE COUNTY JUDGE TO EXECUTE THE UNI FIRST SERVICE AGREEMENT RENEWAL, KIM.
SO EVERY THREE YEARS WE UM, HAVE TO RENEW OUR UNI FIRST, UM, SERVICE AGREEMENT.
AND THIS ONE IS THROUGH THE BIBLE CONTRACT 67 0 2 2 AND WILL EXPIRE IN THREE YEARS AND THEY'VE GONE OUT TO EACH OF THE PRECINCTS AND, UM, DISCUSSED THINGS WITH THEM AND WITH BUILDING GROUNDS.
WELL THEY DON'T EVEN DO BUILDING GROUNDS ANYMORE, BUT, UM, JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAVE EVERYTHING THEY NEED.
AND I RECOMMEND, UM, RENEWING THIS CONTRACT.
MOTION BE BY COMMISSIONER CONLEY, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN FOR THE DISCUSSION ON THE PAPER.

THERE WILL BE A BUDGET ADJUSTMENT THAT WAS APPROVED IN TODAY'S COURT TO MOVE THOSE FUNDS OUT OF, UM, PRECINCT TWO'S CONTINGENCY INTO THE ACTUAL TRUCKS AND TRAILERS LINE UNDER THEIR ARPA FUNDING.
KIM, IF I CAN COMMENT ON THAT REAL QUICK? SURE.
SO HISTORICALLY PRECINCT TWO AND PRECINCT FOUR HAVE SHARED A PAVER, WHICH IS USED FOR HOT MIX.
WITH THE GROWTH IN BOTH PRECINCTS, IT'S BECOMING MORE AND MORE DIFFICULT TO MANAGE SHARING THAT PIECE OF EQUIPMENT BACK AND FORTH.
SO PRECINCT TWO IS DECIDING TO USE SOME OF THE AONS FOR AN EQUIPMENT UPGRADE.
EFFECTIVELY, UH, THE EXISTING PAVER WILL STAY WITH PRECINCT FOUR, SO WE'LL DO A TRANSFER TO REMOVE THAT PORT, SPLITTING THAT FROM, UH, TWO AND FOUR.

[5.A. Consideration and Approval for safety improvements at the intersection of Shadle Road and FM920. (Chris Bosco / Commissioner Holt)]
GO TO FIVE.A CONSIDERATION APPROVAL FOR SAFETY IMPROVEMENT AT THE INTERSECTION OF SAC SHE ROAD AND FM NINE 20.
CHRIS BOCO FROM FREEZING NICHOLS FRIES, HOLS.
SO, UH, THERE'S A, THIS THIS EXHIBIT OF THE SHALE ROAD LOCATION.
AND SO TO GIVE YOU KIND OF ORIENTED WALL, UH, IT'S ABOUT THREE MILES SOUTH OF, UH, PAULVILLE.
UH, YOU CAN SEE KIND OF SPRINGTOWN HERE, UH, TO KIND OF ORIENT YOU.
UM, THIS IS A LOCATION WHERE, UH, THERE'S A SITE DISTANCE CONCERN ON, UH, FM NINE 20.
I'M GONNA ACTUALLY JUMP TO A PHOTO FIRST TO SHOW YOU.
SO THIS WOULD BE LIKE THE, THE DRIVER'S PERSPECTIVE.
SO THERE'S KIND OF TWO CHALLENGES HERE.
UH, ONE IS THE GRADE YOU CAN SEE OF SHALE AS IT CONNECTS INTO NINE 20 IS, IS VERY STEEP, UH, IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE VERTICAL CURVE ON NINE 20.
IT CREATES A SAFETY CONCERN, UH, BOTH IN EXITING, BUT ALSO THE SPEED OF THE, THE TRAFFIC ON, UH, NINE 20.
SO THIS CONCEPT KIND OF SHOWS A, UM, A REALIGNMENT.
SO THE TWO THINGS THAT ACCOMPLISHES IS ONE ALLOWS US TO FLATTEN THAT GRADE OUT, UH, WHERE WE'RE TWO 3%, UH, WHICH YOU WOULD, YOU KNOW, IS THE MORE, UH, MODERN STANDARD FOR A ROAD CONNECTING INTO A STATE FACILITY.
UH, IN ADDITION IN MOVING THAT WE ACTUALLY, UH, ARE ABLE TO MOVE IT, UH, 250 FEET OR SO TO THE NORTH, WHICH GETS AWAY FROM THE VERTICAL CURVE ON NINE 20.
AND SO IT REALLY IMPROVES THE SAFETY FROM BOTH REGARDS THE SITE DISTANCE, BUT ALSO THE GRADE.
SO, YOU KNOW, IF THEY'RE SLICK PAVEMENT, YOU'RE NOT SLIPPING AS YOU'RE TRYING TO ENTER THE ROAD.
UH, SO THAT'S, UH, THE PROPOSAL HERE.
UH, YOU CAN SEE, UH, THERE'S A WOULD BE A PLATTING REVISION THAT WOULD NEED TO BE CONSIDERED.
THERE'S ACTUALLY CURRENTLY TWO LOTS.
UH, ONE THAT'S RIGHT ABUTTING THE, THE CORNER OF THE INTERSECTION.
UH, ANOTHER ONE ADJACENT TO THAT.
AND SO WE FEEL LIKE THERE COULD BE A MODIFICATION HERE TO GET THE RIGHT OF WAY FOR THE REALIGNMENT, UH, AND ACTUALLY AUGMENT
[00:10:01]
THE SIZE OF THE SECOND LOT.UH, THIS OTHER PHOTO I'LL SHOW YOU WOULD BE THE, THE NEW LOCATION.
SO YOU CAN SEE, UH, IT'D BE MUCH FLATTER CONDITION AND, AND, UH, A GOOD ABOUT 700 FEET FROM THE VERTICAL CURVE.
UH, SO THAT WOULD BE DESIRABLE FOR THE SPEED ON NINE 20.
UM, SO THAT'S, UH, UH, COMMISSIONER, DO YOU WANT TO ADD TO ANYTHING ON, ON THIS LOCATION? YEAH, SO FOR TODAY, WE'RE NOT NECESSARILY ASKING THE COURT FOR APPROVAL TO DO ANYTHING CONCRETE.
THIS IS MORE OF A NOTIFICATION THAN ANYTHING ELSE.
I BELIEVE MR. PITTMAN IS IN THE AUDIENCE AND MAY HAVE SOME COMMENTARY.
HE IS THE DEVELOPER THAT OWNS THOSE TWO SITES.
THE REASON WHY THIS IS OCCURRING IS SHALE HAS HISTORICALLY BEEN A LOW VOLUME ROAD AS FAR AS TRAFFIC.
HOWEVER, WE HAVE APPROXIMATELY 229 NEWLY CONSTRUCTED HOMES OR LOTS WHERE HOMES WILL BE CONSTRUCTED, WHICH HAVE ONLY TWO INGRESS EGRESS OPTIONS TO GET SOUTH OR NORTH, ONE ON NINE 20 AND ONE ON ZION HILL.
SO IF SOMEBODY'S GONNA COME INTO WEATHERFORD, THERE'S A GOOD CHANCE THAT OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS WE'RE GONNA BE ADDING HUNDREDS OF TRIPS PER DAY ON THAT SHALE ROAD EXIT.
MR. BOSCO, I BELIEVE YOU SAID THAT ROUGH GUESS NINE 20 WOULD NEED TO BE ABOUT 30 MILES PER HOUR THERE AS FAR AS UNCO INCOMING TRAFFIC SPEED IN ORDER FOR THAT TURN TO BE SAFE.
ANYBODY WHO'S DRIVEN NINE 20 KNOWS THEY'RE NOT GOING 30 MILES AN HOUR.
YEAH, IT'S, SO 55 IN THIS AREA, THAT'S THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT.
IF THEY WOULD GO 55, THAT'D BE GREAT.
UM, SO THE PURPOSE OF THIS IS SIMPLY TO NOTIFY THE COURT.
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE'RE WORKING THROUGH, NOT ASKING FOR ANY FORMAL APPROVALS TODAY OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
CERTAINLY NOT ASKING FOR A REPLAT OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
UM, THIS IS JUST TO NOTIFY THE COURT OF WHAT WE'RE INTENDING TO DO.
NEXT STEPS WOULD BE TO FINALIZE AN AGREEMENT WITH MR. PITTMAN TO DETERMINE HOW THAT MIGHT WORK.
ENGAGE MR. BOSCO WITH FRIESEN NICHOLS TO MOVE FORWARD ON THE FORMAL DESIGN OF THE REVISED INTERSECTION.
WE DID THE SAME THING ON STEWART STREET.
LIKE THIS, IT WORKS REALLY GOOD.
MOVING THAT OVER AND CUTTING OUT THAT SLOPE.
WORKED REALLY WELL ON, ON THAT POINT, IT WOULD BE COUNTY EMPLOYEES AND COUNTY MATERIAL COMING OUT OF PRECINCT TWO'S BUDGET TO COMPLETE THIS REVISION.
I DON'T ANTICIPATE TURN LANESS BEING REQUIRED BY TEXT OUT AT THIS TIME.
WE'LL CERTAINLY LET THE COURT KNOW IF THAT CHANGES.
AND, AND NORTH BEND'S ANOTHER LOCATION ON 51 THAT, UH, ALMOST THIS EXACT DONE NORTH BEND.
SO COMMISSIONER, ARE YOU THE, THE ENGINEERING CONTRACT DO THAT IN THE, AT A FUTURE COURT OR, UH, YES.
UH, WOULD Y'ALL LIKE TO COME UP AND SPEAK ANY, ANY, ANYBODY WOULD LIKE TO COME UP AND SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? OKAY, THANK YOU.
ITEM B UM, COMMISSIONER, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING ON ITEM A BEFORE WE GO ON? NO, JUST NO PERMISSION TO TAKE.
[5.B. Turn Lanes - FM920 & Willow Creek Road. (Commissioner Holt)]
GO TO ITEM FIVE B ON TURN LANES FM NINE 20 IN WILLOW CREEK ROAD.SO PESTER IS D HAS GROWN TREMENDOUSLY OVER THE PAST NUMBER OF YEARS.
IN 2019, THE TOTAL ENROLLMENT WAS APPROXIMATELY 1,150 STUDENTS PROJECTIONS BY 2030 ARE 3000 STUDENTS.
THAT'S AN INCREASE OF, YOU KNOW, 18 TO 1900 STUDENTS IN 11 YEARS.
PESTERS BUILDING A NEW JUNIOR HIGH, WHICH WILL BE COMPLETED HERE IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS.
IT WILL OPEN IN AUGUST THE JUNIOR HIGH, THE ELEMENTARY, THE INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL, AND THE HIGH SCHOOL.
THE FOUR TOTAL BUILDINGS WILL HAVE ONE POINT OF INGRESS AND EGRESS TO NINE 20.
HARWELL LAKE HAD TURN LANES PUT IN.
RECENTLY I'M WORKING WITH TEX.NOW TO GET TRAFFIC SIGNAL PUT IN.
WE ARE PUTTING IN A NEW ROAD CALLED WILLOW CREEK ROAD, WHICH IS CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION THAT WILL ALLOW A POINT OF ACCESS SOUTH ON NINE 20 OF THE HARWELL LAKE INTERSECTION.
THE REASON THAT I'M BRINGING THIS TO THE COURT'S ATTENTION IS WE'RE WORKING WITH TEX.NOW TO DETERMINE OUR TURN LANES NEEDED FOR THAT ROAD TO BE FORMALLY OPENED.
THE COUNTY'S BUILDING THE ROAD.
WE BELIEVE THAT ROAD WILL BE AVAILABLE AS FAR AS WHAT WE CAN DO PRIOR TO THE SCHOOL'S OPENING FOR THIS NEXT SEMESTER IN THE FALL.
UM, FUNDING FOR THE TURN LANES IS GOING TO BE RELATIVELY EXPENSIVE, I BELIEVE.
MR. BOSCO, YOUR TEAM QUOTED IT.
DOES THAT SOUND APPROXIMATELY RIGHT FOR THE TURN LANES? UH, YES SIR.
YEAH, SO SOMEWHERE, SOMEWHERE IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD, UH, PRECINCT TWO OBVIOUSLY
[00:15:01]
DOESN'T HAVE A, A SPARE 1 MILLION IN OUR BUDGET.SO WE HAD DISCUSSED TECH OP FUNDING THAT THAT'LL PROBABLY BE AT LEAST A YEAR OR TWO BEFORE TECH DOC CAN FUND IT.
SAME THING, I BELIEVE WITH OTHER OPTIONS SUCH AS NET COG AND, AND SOME OF THOSE.
SO I'M JUST NOTIFYING THE COURT THAT THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING AND WE MIGHT HAVE TO LOOK AT SOME FUNDING OPTIONS.
IF TECH DOT WILL NOT ALLOW NINE 20, THAT NINE 20 INTERSECTION TO BE OPENED.
FRIES AND NICHOLS PERSPECTIVE IS THAT IT'S MORE APPROPRIATE OR, OR IT'S SAFER TO HAVE WILLOW CREEK OPEN EVEN WITHOUT THE TURN LANESS BECAUSE IT RELIEVES A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF PRESSURE ON HARWELL.
IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WANTED TO COMMENT ON THAT? Y YEAH, SO THE, THE CONCERN THEN, AND WHAT WE WERE GOING TO LOOK AT IN CONJUNCTION WITH TECH, SO IS, UM, BECAUSE SINCE HARWELL, THERE'S A SITE DISTANCE ISSUE THERE AS WELL, UH, WITH THE SCHOOL THAT, UM, WE FEEL LIKE THIS CONNECTION, ALTHOUGH THE TURN LANES ARE VERY NEEDED, UH, WILL ACTUALLY RELIEVE TRAFFIC OFF OF HARWELL.
AND KIND OF THE BALANCE OF THE TWO WILL BE THE GREATER SAFETY SITUATION KNOWING THAT THE TURN LANES ARE IN DEVELOPMENT.
SO WE'VE, WE HAVE DONE THE DESIGN OF THE TURN LANES, IT'S A, IT'S A MATTER OF FUNDING AND ONE OF THE THINGS TECH STOCK'S LOOKING INTO AT THE MOMENT IS TRYING TO PUT THAT PROJECT IN A BIGGER PROJECT TO SPEED UP THAT PROCESS.
SO THERE'S A FUNDING MECHANISM THAT NEEDS TO BE IN PLACE HERE.
IS THAT SOMETHING THAT, BECAUSE WE'RE GATHERING INVENTORY FOR OUR, WHAT, WHAT WOULD BE A FUTURE BOND? WOULD THAT FIT THE CRITERIA FOR THAT IN, IN ROLLING INTO A BOND? OR IS THIS GONNA BE A MORE URGENT NEED PRIOR TO THAT? YEAH, I, I, OH, SORRY.
UH, I, I WOULD SAY YES, IT'S MORE URGENT AND I, I THINK, UM, WE DON'T HAVE ALL THE DETAILS TO PRESENT TODAY, BUT I THINK TECH STOCK HAS FOUND A WAY TO FUND IT, UH, IN TRYING TO COMBINE IT WITH A MUCH LARGER PROJECT.
PARTNERSHIPS ARE GOOD WITH TECH STOCK.
I'M SIMPLY NOTIFYING THE COURT SO THAT IF THIS COMES UP AGAIN, UH, IT'S NOT BRAND NEW TO EVERYONE.
WE'LL GET ADAM SIX A ON DISCUSS TAKE ACTION.
REGARDING, BRIANNA, YOU WERE STARTED TO WALK UP THERE.
DID YOU HAVE ANYTHING YOU WANTED TO SAY ON THAT ITEM? NO, WE CAN TALK OUTSIDE OF COURT, JUST SOME OF DIFFERENT FUNDING MECHANISMS THAT POSSIBLY COULD HELP WITH THIS TO MOVE UP, UM, TIMELINE IF, IF NECESSARY NEEDED.
[6.A. Discuss/Take action regarding recommendation from Hydrology 2050 Committee to establish a utility authority for Parker, Palo Pinto, and Stephens Counties. (Commissioner Walden)]
GOT SIX TO EIGHT DISCUSS, TAKE ACTION REGARDING RECOMMENDATION FROM A HYDROLOGY 2050 COMMITTEE TO ESTABLISH A UTILITY AUTHORITY FOR PARKER PAPINO AND STEVENS COUNTY COMMISSIONER WALDEN.SO WE'VE HAD ABOUT A DOZEN MEETINGS WITH DIFFERENT ENTITIES, UH, REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND TRYING TO COME UP WITH THE BEST PLAN.
AND, AND, UH, MY, I I JUST WANTED TO BRING COURT UP TO DATE ON WHERE WE'RE AT.
UH, WE'VE, WE'VE MET WITH EVERYBODY FROM, UH, BRECKENRIDGE TO, UH, UH, UP TO, UH, UH, RISES RIVER AUTHORITY, UH, UPPER TRINITY, UH, TRINITY UTILITY, EVERYBODY TRYING TO COME UP WITH THE BEST PLAN.
AND, AND WE DON'T HAVE THAT YET.
AND, UH, WHAT WE'RE PLANNED TO DO AT THIS POINT, UH, IS HAVE A MEETING THIS WEEK AGAIN WITH, UH, UH, MAYBE THE COURT FROM PALATO COUNTY, THE COURT FROM STEVENS COUNTY, AND, UH, MINERAL WELL'S MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT AND MINERAL WELLS CITY COUNCIL, AND TRY TO COME UP WITH THE BEST PLAN THAT SUITS EVERYBODY.
JUDGE, AND I KNOW YOU'VE BEEN A PART OF THIS AND, AND, AND JOHN AS WELL, UH, BUT TRYING TO COME UP WITH THE, THE LEGISLATION THAT WE NEED TO HELP ALL OF THE WATER ENTITIES IN PARKER, PALO PINTO AND STEVENS COUNTIES WITHOUT RUFFLING ANTI ANYBODY'S FEATHERS.
UH, BUT WE'RE, UH, I I WANTED TO, UH, THOUGHT WE MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING TO BRING TO COURT TODAY, BUT I'M SURE WE'LL HAVE, UH, VERY SOON BECAUSE IT REQUIRES LEGISLATION AND, UH, THAT LEGISLATION HAS TO BE FILED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
I THINK THE DEADLINE IS MARCH 10TH, JEFF, IS THAT CORRECT? IF, IF YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS, PLEASE COME FORWARD.
BUT, UH, UH, THE, UH, UH, SITUATION IS THAT, THAT PAL PENN MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT IS, IS ATTEMPTING TO, TO GET FUNDING TO BUILD THE DAM AT TURKEY PEAK.
AND, UH, WE'RE VERY MUCH INVOLVED IN TRYING TO HELP THAT HAPPEN, SO WE GET MORE WATER.
UH, WE, WE HAVE OTHER THINGS TOO.
WE'VE TALKED TO BRA RIVER AUTHORITY, AND, AND I SEE DAKOTA SITTING BACK HERE AT THE BACK AND DAKOTA'S, UH, UH, UH, DIRECTOR, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AT, UH, PARK COUNTY SPECIAL UTILITY DISTRICT, AND THEY ARE WORKING TO, UH, GET MORE WATER OUT OF
[00:20:01]
THE BRAZOS AND EXPANSION PROJECT DOWN AT, UH, THEIR DESALINIZATION PLANT.SO, UH, WHAT I WANTED TO BRING TODAY IS TO TELL YOU THAT WE'RE WORKING ON IT.
WE'RE GONNA COME BACK TO COURT, SPECIAL COURT, PERHAPS EVEN IF WE HAVE TO, TO, TO GET A PLAN IN PLACE TO, UH, ASSIST.
AND, AND THE, THE IDEA BEHIND IT BEING THAT THE THREE COUNTIES TOGETHER ARE A LARGER AREA, HAVE MORE OF A VOICE WHEN WE GO ASK FOR MONEY, AND, UH, SO THAT THEY'LL KNOW WHO WE ARE BECAUSE THEY, UH, UH, TAKES A WATER DEVELOPMENT BOARD.
UM, I THINK, UH, PALATO MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT HAS BEEN THERE, AND THEY PRETTY MUCH SAID, GOSH, THERE'S, THERE'S MORE NEEDS FOR, FOR SURFACE WATER IN OTHER AREAS OF THE STATE THAN THERE ARE HERE.
SO WE WANT TO BE A STRONG VOICE FOR THE, THE PARKER COUNTY.
UH, WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO COME BACK AND SAY, WE'RE TAKING SOME POSITIVE ACTIONS AND WE WANT TO A LARGER AUTHORITY SO THAT WE'RE ABLE TO ASSIST SMALLER WATER DISTRICTS.
APPARENTLY, UH, UH, PARKER COUNTY MAY NOT NEED IT.
THEY'VE BEEN, THEY'VE BEEN BORROWING MONEY ON THEIR OWN GETTING THERE, BUT SOME OF THESE SMALLER DISTRICTS THAT, THAT MAY NEED SOME ASSISTANCE IN PUTTING INFRASTRUCTURE IN THAT AREN'T ABLE TO DO IT ON THEIR OWN.
SO WE HADN'T MADE A REPORT TO COURT IN QUITE A WHILE ABOUT THAT, BUT WE ARE DILIGENTLY WORKING TO COME UP WITH A STRATEGY TO GET MORE WATER TO HIT TO PARKER COUNTY.
WELL, I, I WAS JUST GONNA SAY, IT SEEMS LIKE THESE MEETINGS ARE ALMOST WEEKLY.
AND, AND EVER SINCE I'VE BEEN A COUNTY JUDGE AND THE SENSE OF URGENCY OF WATER HAS BEEN, UH, A PRIORITY OF WHICH WE, WE GO TO MEETINGS, THEY'RE STILL NOT GETTING MUCH DONE.
WE STILL IDENTIFY THAT AS A CONCERN.
IT'S CONTINUING TO GROW WITH THE HOLES WE'RE POKING IN THE GROUND, WHICH IS NUMBER ONE IN THE STATE.
BUT THE PROGRESSION NOW WITH, WITH, UM, JOHN PORES, OUR ATTORNEY YOURSELF, UM, THE MOMENTUM THAT IS NOW AFFECTED, WHICH REFLECTS A HIGH NUMBER OF THE AONS THAT WE GOT, WHICH IS OVER $6 MILLION, DEMONSTRATES OUR COMMITMENT TO THIS AND THE PROGRESSION THAT WE'RE DOING AND TRYING TO SOLVE IT.
IT'S NOT GONNA BE SOLVED OVERNIGHT, BUT WE'VE STARTED THE PROCESS AND IT'S, IT'S EXPONENTIALLY MOVING QUICK.
AND SO IT'S GONNA BE, UM, HOPEFULLY CONTINUATION OF THESE THINGS AND EFFORTS, AND IT'S GONNA TAKE TIME TO DO THAT.
BUT I COMMEND YOU FOR YOUR EFFORTS.
UH, ALSO, UH, JOHN PORES AND THOSE MEETINGS, UH, HAS BEEN INSTRUMENTAL.
IT SEEMS LIKE THOSE THINGS ARE ALMOST EVERY WHEAT NOW.
UH, BUT I COMMEND YOU FOR YOUR EFFORTS ON THIS.
I, I'LL TELL YOU, I THINK WE, UH, WE ALL FEEL THE SENSE OF URGENCY AND, UH, I THINK THAT, UH, UH, NOW IS THE TIME TO GET LEGISLATION IN PLACE THAT WILL HELP ALL OF THESE WATER ENTITIES AND, AND HELP THE RESIDENT AMENS OF ALL THREE OF THESE COUNTIES.
AND, UH, INSTEAD OF WAITING TWO YEARS AND, UH, AMEN.
SO REPRESENTATIVE, UH, GLENN ROGERS HAS BEEN, UM, VERY, VERY HELPFUL IN HELPING SET UP THE MEETINGS AND HIS CONTACTS OVER IN PALA COUNTY ARE, ARE GREAT, BUT WE WANT TO, WE WANT TO DO IT WITHOUT STUMBLING.
WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT, UH, WHATEVER THE LEGISLATION IS THAT WE SET UP IS SOMETHING THAT EVERYBODY WILL RECOGNIZE AS A NEED AND WE'LL GET PASSED WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO A VOTE HERE.
DID I UNDERSTAND, DID I UNDERSTAND YOU RIGHT THAT THAT DAM HASN'T BEEN APPROVED YET? I THOUGHT THE DAM HAD BEEN APPROVED.
WELL, I'LL, I'LL GIVE YOU A SHORT HISTORY ON THAT.
THEY, THEY SENT THE FIRST PERMIT IN IN 1977.
UH, AND SO IT HAS BEEN APPROVED BY THE CORE WITH A COUPLE OF RESTRICTIONS, AND THAT IS THEY HAVE TO GET ANOTHER, UH, UH, TWO MORE PARCELS OF LAND.
THEY'VE CHANGED THE RULES ON THEM MID MIDSTREAM THERE.
AND SO THE FUNDING HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED TO, TO BUILD THAT DOWN THROUGH THE TEXAS WATER DEVELOPMENT BOARD OR WHOEVER IT, THOSE, THE FUNDING MIGHT COME FROM.
AND SO, SO I THINK, UH, UH, US AS A LARGER ENTITY, BY, BY HAVING A LARGER ENTITY THAT THAT WILL INCLUDE ALL OF US, WILL, UH, UM, BENEFIT THAT PROCESS.
AND, UM, I THINK JOHN JOHN POINTED OUT THAT, UH, 21,000 PEOPLE IN, IN PARKER COUNTY, 21,000, UH, USERS IN PARKER COUNTY CURRENTLY USE WATER FROM LAKE PALATO.
AND THE REASON WE'RE HAVING SO MANY MEETINGS, WE WANT AS MUCH BUY-IN AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE ONCE WE STARTED THESE MEETINGS, WE STARTED DISCOVERING IT MIGHT BE EASY TO TAKE WATER FROM THE EASTERN SIDE OF PARK COUNTY, MOVE IT OVER THE WEST WESTERN PARK, BUT YOU CAN'T, BECAUSE THE EASTERN SIDE OF THE COUNTY SETS IN THE TRINITY BASIN, RIGHT? THE WESTERN SIDE OF PARK COUNTY SETS IN THE BRAZO.
SO WE'RE IN THE, THE WESTERN SIDE OF THE COUNTY IS IN THE SAME BOAT AS ALL THESE OTHER COUNTIES WE'RE WORKING WITH.
WE WANT AS MUCH BUY-IN AS WE CAN GET FROM ALL THE ENTITIES, BECAUSE THE FINANCING IS GONNA BE CRITICAL.
AND THE MORE THAT WE CAN HAVE THAT ARE PARTICIPATING, THE BETTER WE CAN GET THAT DONE.
SO WE'VE DISCOVERED LOTS OF THINGS.
ONE IS, YOU KNOW, THAT WE HAVE THESE WATER PLANNING DISTRICTS AND OH, OH, YOU'RE IN, YOU'RE IN AREA C AND WELL, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE REALLY IN G AND, AND
[00:25:01]
SO THERE HASN'T BEEN A WHOLE LOT OF PLANNING FOR WESTERN PARKER COUNTY, BUT, BUT TO GO SPECIFICALLY TO THE BRAZOS BASIN IN THE, IN THE TRINITY BASIN, THERE'S LAW THAT WAS PASSED THAT DOESN'T ALLOW YOU TO TRANSFER WATER, SURFACE WATER FROM ONE TO THE OTHER.I THINK LEGISLATION IS GONNA BE PRESENTED THIS YEAR TO TRY TO, UH, TAKE THAT BACK AND ALLOW THAT TRANSFER OF WATER.
BUT CURRENTLY THE WAY IT SITS, WE CAN'T TRANSFER WATER ACROSS, EVEN THOUGH THERE'S AN EXCESS POTENTIALLY OVER ON THE EASTERN SIDE OF THE COUNTY.
AND THE TRINITY, WE CAN'T UTILIZE THAT OVER ON THE BRAZOS BASIN, WHICH IS GONNA BE YOUR BRONX, YOUR MILLSAPS, UH, PESTERS IN A UNIQUE SITUATION BECAUSE THEIR CITY DOES SIT IN THE TRINITY BASIN, AND SO THEY CAN TRANSFER WATER INTO THE BRASS BASIN WHERE IT'S WITHIN THEIR CITY LIMITS, RIGHT.
SO THEY KIND OF STRADDLE THAT BASIN, BUT THE OTHERS THAT DON'T ARE COMPLETELY DEPENDENT ON THE BRASS BASIN.
SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE TRYING TO GET ANOTHER SURFACE WATER SOURCE, BECAUSE THAT'S WHY EVERYBODY ON THE WESTERN SIDE OF THE COUNTY USING WELLS O OTHER THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON, I, I MENTIONED, UH, THE PARK COUNTY U AND, AND DAKOTA'S SITTING BACK HERE, BUT THEY'RE IN THE PROCESS OF, I THINK, DOUBLING THE SIZE OF YOUR DESALINATION PLANT.
SO THEY'RE GONNA HAVE SOME MORE CAPABILITIES THERE.
UH, AND, AND, UH, YOU KNOW, THAT'S SOMETHING TO LOOK AT AND, AND, UH, OPPORTUNITY GROUNDWATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT IS WAITING ON THE DRILLER TO COME.
THEN THEY'RE GONNA DRILL A, UH, A, UH, SALT WATER WELL, UH, VERY NEAR THEIR, THEIR DESALINIZATION PLANT TO SEE THE FEASIBILITY OF CLEANING UP THAT DEEP SALT WATER THAT WE HAVE IN MANY AREAS HERE AND USING IT AS A WATER SOURCE AS WELL.
SO, UH, LOTS OF WORKS GOING ON.
I THOUGHT WE'D HAVE SOMETHING, BUT THE MAIN THING I WANTED TO DO TODAY IS INFORM THE COURT THAT WE'RE, WE'RE NEAR, UH, MAKING A DECISION ON HOW WE'RE GOING TO MANAGE THIS, GETTING LEGISLATION FILED, SO THAT HOPEFULLY THIS SESSION, WE CAN GET IT APPROVED.
NOW, FILING A BILL AND GETTING IT APPROVED ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS.
AND, AND REPRESENTATIVE ROGERS, UH, UH, HAS TOLD ME THAT HE WILL FILE A BILLS, UH, ALLOWING THE INTER BASIN TRANSFER OF WATER HERE IN PARKER COUNTY NOW FILING IT AND GETTING IT PASSED, BECAUSE THERE WILL BE A LOT OF OPPOSITION FROM PEOPLE FURTHER DOWNSTREAM, UH, IN BOTH, BOTH WAYS THAT, UH, BOTH BASINS THAT WILL BE OPPOSED TO THAT.
BUT WE HAVE HAD A ZILLION MEETINGS, AND WE'RE NOT GONNA STOP UNTIL WE GET SOMETHING ACCOMPLISHED HERE, JUDGE.
DID WANNA SPEAK ON ONE OTHER THING.
THE QUIN ON BRAZO RIVER, THE RIGHTS IN THAT, THAT WATER ALREADY SPOKEN FOR.
SO WHEN INDIVIDUALS SAY, WHY DON'T YOU GO TO THE BRAZOS AND PULL WATER OUTTA THE BRAZOS, THOSE WATER RIGHTS HAVE ALREADY BEEN SOLD.
SO BASICALLY A HUNDRED PERCENT, YOU MAY, MAY CORRECT ME OVER HERE, BUT, YOU KNOW, BASICALLY A HUNDRED PERCENT OF THAT WATER THAT SETS IN PK IS ALREADY SOLD DOWN RIVER.
SO, OR IT'S SPOKEN FOR AT SOME POINT ALONG THAT RIVER.
SO THAT'S WHY THERE NEEDS TO BE ANOTHER WATER SOURCE TO BE AVAILABLE FOR OUR SIDE OF THE COUNTY IN THAT PRIZES OR MASON.
DID, DID I HEAR YOU CORRECTLY THAT MARCH 10TH IS THE FILING DATE, ABSOLUTE DROP, DEAD FILING DATE? YES.
SO IF WE MEET AGAIN IN TWO WEEKS, DOES THAT GIVE REPRESENTATIVE ROGER'S OFFICE ENOUGH TIME? SO I, I'LL, I'LL THE 27, I'LL GO AHEAD AND ANSWER THAT.
THERE, THERE MAY COME A TIME, UH, WHEN WE CALL SPECIAL COURT SESSION SURE.
AND, AND, AND HAVE AN EMERGENCY COURT TO GET THAT APPROVED.
SO WE, WE NEED TO, WE, WE, WE CAN'T WAIT, IS WHAT I'M TELLING YOU.
WE CAN'T WAIT ANOTHER TWO YEARS TO GET THIS LEGISLATION IN PLACE, AND WE CAN'T WAIT ANOTHER TWO YEARS TO SAY WE'RE GONNA START, THEN IT WILL, IT IS NOT GONNA BE.
SO WE ALREADY GONNA DO OUR BEST, UH, TO YOUR POINT TO TRY TO GET THAT DONE THIS TIME.
HOW, HOW MUCH TIME DOES YOUR OFFICE NEED TO, BECAUSE I KNOW THAT YOU'RE ALREADY WORKING ON IT, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, YOU DON'T WANT TO BE SO RUSHED THAT IT CAUSES AN ISSUE WITH THE BILL.
WHEN DO YOU NEED AN ANSWER FROM US? BY, TO GIVE YOU THE TIMEFRAME YOU NEED.
THE SPEAKERS ASKED THAT, THAT THIS, THERE ARE EXCEPTIONS TO THAT.
YOU MEAN FEBRUARY 17TH? MM-HMM.
THIS WOULD NON THERE ARE EXCEPTIONS TO THAT RULE, UM, BUT THE URGENCY IS THERE, UH, BE SOME SORT OF CONSENSUS.
SO WE'RE WORKING TOWARD THAT THIS WEEK.
AND, UH, LIKE I SAID, WE MAY HAVE TO HAVE A, A SPECIAL COURT SESSION TO HANDLE THAT.
AND, AND WHEN WE DO, DO WE'LL, UH, SURE.
BUT I, I JUST WANNA LET YOU KNOW WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING.
I MEAN, WE'VE HAD A ZILLION MEETINGS TRYING TO, TO, TO GET, UH, SOMETHING IN PLACE HERE.
MY STAFF WILL REACH OUT TO YOU AND, AND MR. FORREST, UH, TO COORDINATE THAT AS WELL.
[00:30:01]
AS SOON AS WE GET SOMETHING GOING.UH, WE HAVE JUST DONE THAT ONE.

SO I, I, WE PROBABLY NEED TO VOTE ON THESE INDIVIDUALLY, JOHN, OR IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SUGGESTING? WE RIGHT.
WE, WE, WE NEED AN INDIVIDUAL VOTE.
SO I'LL, I'LL JUST, LET ME, LET ME DO A LITTLE, UH, DEAL ABOUT THE WHOLE THING HERE.
THESE ARE THE AMOUNTS, UH, THAT THE ENTITIES AND THE AMOUNTS THAT WE, UH, AS AN ARPA COMMITTEE APPROVED AND BROUGHT ONCE, BUT WE JUST SAID, APPROVED THE LIST, AND APPARENTLY THAT LIST DIDN'T GET PLACED INTO THE MINUTES.
THERE'S NO CHANGES FROM WHAT IT WAS ORIGINALLY.
SO THESE ARE JUST THE, THE AMOUNTS AND THE ENTITIES THAT RECEIVED FUNDING AND, AND, UH, TO COVER THAT AGAIN, WHAT, UH, WE INITIALLY DID AS A, AN ARPA COMMITTEE JUDGE, IF, IF I MAY, IS UH, UH, WE FUNDED OUR COMMUNICATIONS, UH, SYSTEM.
WE FUNDED THE, UH, 10 MILLION TO GO TO EACH OF THE FOUR PRECINCTS, UH, TO 2.5 MILLION TO EACH.
AND THEN WITH THE REMAINDER OF THE MONEY, THEN WE, UH, APPROVED THESE AMOUNTS THAT WE'RE ABOUT TO GO THROUGH HERE TO THESE WATER ENTITIES.
BECAUSE AS WE GOT INTO THE, UH, ARPA APPLICATIONS, THE VAST MAJORITY OF THEM WERE FOR WATER PROJECTS, AND RECOGNIZING THAT WE COULD DO EVERYTHING THAT WE COULD TO, TO HELP THOSE WATER PROJECTS ALONG, THEN WE, UH, APPROVE THIS LIST.
AND AGAIN, THERE'S NO CHANGES, UH, COMMISSIONER FROM THE LAST TIME THAT IT WAS PRESENTED.
SO I'M GONNA APPROVE THAT WE, UH, I'M GONNA MOVE THAT WE APPROVE, UH, ITEM, UH, SIX B A NUMBER ONE, BOLAND, THE STATE'S WATER SUPPLY CORPORATION.

I'M, I HAVE AN, I HAVE ANOTHER THAT SAYS A 1 23 IS A SUBSECTION OF B AND I'LL, WHAT I'LL DO IS I'LL, I'LL READ THIS BEFORE WE MOTION ON THIS SO WE CLA FOR THE CLARITY OF THE AUDIENCE AND DON'T MAYBE NOT HAVE THIS.

COMMISSIONER HOL, YOU MADE THE SECOND.
WELL THAT'S, SO THAT, UM, ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.
COMMISSIONER, LET ME, LET ME GO AHEAD AND READ THIS.
UH, IF YOU DON'T MIND, UM, SURE.
WE'RE, WE'RE ON PARKER COUNTY SPECIAL UTILITY DISTRICT IN THE NEVADA OF 51.
I MEAN, I'M SORRY, $1,500 TO FUND MILLION.
1,500,000 TO FIND WATER UPGRADES AND FILTRATION.
SO I'LL MOVE TO APPROVE ITEM SIX B, SUBSECTION A NUMBER SIX TO PARKER COUNTY SPECIAL UTILITY DISTRICT.

COMMISSIONER CONLEY HAS MADE THIS SECOND.
ANY OTHER DISCUSSION BEFORE WE VOTE? ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.
OH, WE'LL GO TO ITEM NINE ON WESTERN PARKER COUNTY WATER IN THE AMOUNT OF 175,000 TO FIND WATER STUDY MOVE TO APPROVE ITEM, UH, SIX B, UH, NUMBER NINE, WESTERN PARK COUNTY WATER STUDY MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN.
WE HAVE A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER HOLT.
ANY OTHER DISCUSSION FOR US? YEAH, LITTLE BIT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT.
AND SPECIFICALLY THE REASON WE'RE DOING THESE INDIVIDUALLY, WE'RE GONNA HAVE EACH ENTITY SIGN A CONTRACT WITH THE COUNTY.
SO THEY WILL HAVE TO ABIDE BY ALL THE RULES AND REGULATIONS FOR AUDIT PURPOSES.
AND WE'RE GONNA HAVE A MEETING, RIHANNA'S GOING TO EXTENSIVELY GO OVER THOSE RULES WITH THEM.
WE'LL HAND THAT OUT TO THEM AND THEY'RE GONNA BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SAME TYPES OF PURCHASES AND SAME PROCEDURES THAT THE COUNTY WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE SO WE CAN LEGALLY EXPEND THESE FUNDS.
SO THERE, WELL, THE REASON FOR THAT IS BECAUSE WE'RE SUBJECT TO AUDIT.
THESE ARE FEDERAL FUNDS AND, UH, THERE'S A SPECIFIC PROCEDURE WE WISH WE COULD WRITE A CHECK TO 'EM AND SAY GO AWAY.
THE CASE IS THAT WE HAVE TO, THE CASE IS WE HAVE TO FOLLOW PURCHASING GUIDELINES AS OUTLINED BY, UH, BY THE GRANT ITSELF.
AND WE WANNA BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TAXPAYERS AND THE FUNDS.
WELL, NO, NO DOUBT THE FIDUCIARY DUTY.
HOWEVER, UM, I MEAN, WE'RE GONNA HAVE PEOPLE COME TO US WHEN CAN WE GET THE MONEY? AND THE ANSWER IS AS SOON AS THE PROCEDURES ARE FOLLOWED, THAT NEED TO BE FOLLOWED.
SO IF ANYBODY, WHEN ARE, WHEN ARE, WHEN ARE YOU GONNA HAVE THOSE MEETINGS? IT, IT'S GONNA BE ONE MEETING AND I ANTICIPATE WE COULD PROBABLY HAVE IT WITHIN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS.
WE'RE GONNA SEND THOSE ENTITIES NOTICE, BECAUSE I'M HAVEN'T, LIKE YOU SAID, AN ENTITY'S BEEN CALLING ME.
WHEN CAN I GET MY MONEY AND WHEN CAN I GET MY MONEY? AND, AND, AND THE ANSWER TO THEIR QUESTION IS WHEN THEY GET THE, THE RIGHT, THE PROCEDURE FOLLOWED, THAT'S GONNA HAVE TO BE FOLLOWED.
AND YOU MIGHT WANT TO TALK ABOUT THAT IN CASE THERE'S ANYBODY LISTENING THAT WANTS TO.
WELL, AND THOSE AGREEMENTS WILL HAVE TO BE SIGNED.
SO I WOULD SAY NO SOONER THAN, UM, THE NEXT COMMISSIONER'S COURT BECAUSE THE COURT WILL HAVE TO OBVIOUSLY APPROVE THOSE BENEFICIARY AGREEMENTS.
THEY'LL HAVE TO BE SIGNED BY EACH OF THE ENTITIES RECEIVING IT.
SO I MEAN, IT WOULD BE GOOD TO GO OVER, HAVE THOSE MEETINGS, GO OVER, UM, THE RULES AND WHAT THE PROCESS IS GONNA BE.
AND SO, UM, THERE WILL BE TWO DIFFERENT WAYS THAT THE ENTITIES WILL BE ABLE TO RECEIVE THE FUNDS.
UM, ONE WILL BE ON A REIMBURSEMENT BASIS.
AND SO ONCE, UM, IT WILL HAVE TO BE WITHIN THE SCOPE OBVIOUSLY, OF WHAT THEIR PROJECT IS AND WITHIN THE FEDERAL GUIDELINES.
AND SO ONCE THOSE SERVICES HAVE BEEN RENDERED, SO WHETHER IT'S, YOU KNOW, THEY'VE PURCHASED THE, THE STORAGE TANK, UM, SO THEY'LL HAVE TO FILL OUT, UM, A REQUEST FOR REIMBURSEMENT.
THEY'LL HAVE TO PROVIDE, UM, A COPY OF THE INVOICE, UM, AND PROOF OF PAYMENT TO THAT VENDOR.
SO EVERYTHING THAT THE, UM, WHEN WE'RE AUDITED THAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WILL COME BACK AND ASK US, YOU KNOW, PROVIDE THE BACKUP FOR THIS EXPENSE.
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE ASKING THOSE ENTITIES, RIGHT? UM, ONCE THEY'VE PROVIDED THAT ALL TO US AND, YOU KNOW, TO OUR SATISFACTION THAT WE HAVE WHAT WE NEED, THEN THEY WILL GET ISSUED A CHECK FOR THAT REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE EXPENSE THAT THEY'RE REQUESTING.
UM, IN THE EVENT THAT AN ENTITY DOES NOT HAVE THE FUNDING TO BE ABLE TO, YOU KNOW, PURCHASE THOSE GOODS OR SERVICES IN ADVANCE AND THEN ASK FOR REIMBURSEMENT, UM, THEN THEY CAN ASK FOR ADVANCED FUNDING.
UM, BUT AGAIN, WHAT THEY'LL HAVE TO DO IS PROVIDE, YOU KNOW, THE CONTRACT, THEY'LL HAVE TO SHOW THAT, YOU KNOW, THOSE SERVICES HAVE BEEN PROVIDED OR SOMETHING, YOU KNOW, TO SATISFY.
UM, AGAIN, THE SAME THING BECAUSE WHAT WE HAVE TO ENSURE THAT JUST, JUST AS US AS
[00:40:01]
A COUNTY WE CAN'T PREPAY FOR SERVICES, UM, THEY'LL HAVE TO SATISFY THAT REQUIREMENT WITH US TOO.UM, AND THEN THAT WAY, THEN WITHIN 30 DAYS OF US ISSUING PAYMENT, THEN THEY'LL HAVE TO PROVIDE, UM, US DOCUMENTATION.
SO PROOF OF PAYMENT THAT THEY HAVE THEN, UM, PAID THAT VENDOR.
AND SO THAT WILL BE THE, AS FAR AS THE FUNDING MECHANISM, BUT WE'LL GO THROUGH, UM, JUST THE, UH, BENEFICIARY AGREEMENTS OR WHAT THEY'LL BE CALLED.
AND SO EVERYTHING THAT WE HAVE TO ABIDE BY, UM, BY RECEIVING THOSE FEDERAL FUNDS, THEY WILL TOO.
AND SO, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE BIGGEST THINGS IS, YOU KNOW, IF SOMETHING IS DEEMED INELIGIBLE BY THE GRANT, UM, THAT CLAWBACK PROVISION THAT THEY, THAT THEY SHARE IN THE RESPONSIBILITY OF SOMETHING'S INELIGIBLE, THAT THEY WOULD BE, UM, SUBJECT TO REPAY THOSE FUNDS.
AND SO US, WE DON'T WANT TO DO THAT.
WE DON'T WANT, UM, A BENEFICIARY TO GO THROUGH THAT AS WELL.
SO I THINK THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS TO HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS AND GO THROUGH THAT TO MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, THE DUE DILIGENCE IS, UM, OCCURS ON THE FRONT END TO ENSURE THAT EVERYTHING IS ELIGIBLE WITHIN THOSE, WITHIN THE GRANTS AND GUIDELINES.
UM, AND THEN ALSO FROM THE PROCUREMENT STANDPOINT, YOU KNOW, PROVIDING EVERYTHING WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH.
AND THEN KIM BEING A RESOURCE TO THEM IS ENSURING THAT EVERYTHING IS PROCURED PROPERLY, UM, FOR, YOU KNOW, WHICHEVER PROJECT THAT THEY'RE DOING.
AND SO, YOU KNOW, WE WILL HAVE ONE MEETING TO GO THROUGH ALL OF THAT SO THAT WAY EACH ENTITY IS, YOU KNOW, GETTING THE SAME, SAME MESSAGE, SAME, UM, YOU KNOW, INFORMATION.
AND THEN OF COURSE THEY'LL HAVE SIMILAR QUESTIONS AND THEN THAT WAY THEY CAN HEAR ALL THOSE QUESTION AND ANSWERS.
AND THEN OF COURSE AFTERWARDS, YOU KNOW, IF THEY HAVE ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS, WHETHER IT KIND OF JUST GENERAL OR PROCUREMENT OR WHATEVER, THEN THEY CAN REACH OUT TO ALL OF US.
AND THEN ALSO, UM, SEAN HUGHES AS WELL BECAUSE HE WILL BE A CONTACT WITH THIS HELPING THEM AS WELL.
IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ITEM BEFORE WE GO UP? ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.
[6.C. Approve the renewal Interlocal Agreement Between the North Central Texas Emergency Communications District and Parker County for Regional 9-1-1 Service. (John Forrest / Judge Deen)]
WE GOT ADAM C ON RE APPROVE THE RENEWAL INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE NORTH CENTRAL TEXAS EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS DISTRICT AND PARKER COUNTY FOR REGIONAL 9 1 1 SERVICE, JOHN.AND THIS A CONTINUATION CONTRACT FOR 9 1 1 SERVICES IN PARKER COUNTY.
MOVE TO APPROVE MOTION MADE BY COMMISSION WALDEN SECOND IS BY COMMISSIONER CONLEY.
IS EVERYBODY'S COMPUTER WORKING? YEAH.
WE'RE GONNA GO TO A COMPUTER VOTE AND NOT HAVE, SAY AYE, IT'S JUST OFF AND ON.
WE'LL JUST LET ME KNOW IF OKAY.
[6.D. Required notice from Crown Caste Tower and Global Signal Acquisitions II LLC. for a sublease of a portion of the site by Verizon Wireless and take any action the court deems necessary. (John Forrest / Judge Deen)]
MOVE ITEM D ON REQUIRED NOTICE FROM CROWN CASTLE TOWER AND GLOBAL SIGNALING ACQUISITIONS LLC.I BELIEVE OF A PORTION OF THE SITE OF HORIZON WIRELESS.
AND TAKE ANY ACTION IN THE COURT DEEMED NECESSARY.
JOHN, AND THIS CONTRACT WAS EXECUTED IN 1997.
APPARENTLY WITHIN THAT CONTRACT IT INCLUDED THE PROVISION THAT ALLOWED THEM TO SUBLEASE SPACE ON OUR TOWER.
SO THIS IS JUST THE NOTICE THAT THAT IS WHAT THEY'RE DOING.
THEY'RE GONNA SUBLEASE TO WHO? AND ON THIS ONE, AND THEY, THEY DO.
WHERE'S THE LOCATION ON ROS AND WIRELESS? YEAH.
WHICH TOWER IS THE LOCATION? I WAS ON BETHEL 1756 BETHEL ROAD.
BUT THAT'S THROUGH THE PROVISIONS OF THAT 1997.
NONE OF US WERE HERE AT THAT POINT.
HOW LONG IS THAT CONTRACT? DO YOU KNOW? AND I DID NOT BRING THAT CONTRACT.
I CAN GET THAT INFORMATION FOR YOU.
QUICK QUESTION, BUT LET ME, LET ME GET TO A MOTION IN A SECOND.
UM, THE MOTIONS, UH, BY COMMISSIONER COLEY HAS BEEN MADE.
THE SECOND HAS BEEN MADE BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN.
UH, WE'RE IN THE DISCUSSION PHASE.
SO FROM A PRACTICAL PERSPECTIVE, WHAT EXACTLY IS THIS DOING? I MEAN, I KNOW THERE, SO THEY'RE SUBLEASING THE SITE.
DOES THAT MEAN THEY'RE SUBLEASING A PORTION OF THE USAGE OF THE TOWER OR DOES THAT MEAN THEY'RE ACTUALLY, THERE'S ACTUALLY A PHYSICAL LOCATION THAT'S BEING SUBLEASED? NO, IT'S, THERE'S AREAS ON THAT TOWER THAT THEY CAN PUT REPEATERS MM-HMM.
AND SO WHAT THEY'RE DOING IS THEY'RE SAYING THIS SECTION THAT WE'VE LEASED PREVIOUSLY AND, AND HAVE THE RIGHT TO UTILIZE OR SUBLEASE, WE'RE CHOOSING TO SUBLEASE THAT AREA.
DOES THIS HAVE ANY IMPACT ON OUR, ON PARKER COUNTY AS FAR AS WHAT WE USE IT FOR? UH, THAT, AS FAR AS THE SPECIFICS, I WOULD SAY NO.
BUT IT WOULD TAKE SOMEONE THAT'S UTILIZED THE STUDIES TO SHOW
[00:45:01]
THE REPEATERS THEY INTERFERE WITH ONE ANOTHER.THEY'RE ON DIFFERENT BANDWIDTHS.
SO I GUESS MY QUESTION WOULD BE IF WE HAVE ANYBODY AT THE COUNTY THAT CAN SAY WHETHER OR NOT WE NEED TO GET OUT OF THIS CONTRACT, IT WAS EXECUTED QUITE A WHILE AGO.
UM, WHAT IS THE IMPACT ON PARKER COUNTY? CAN WE USE THAT SPACE ON THAT TOWER WITH THOSE REPEATERS? AND, AND THIS MAY BE A DUMB QUESTION, I'M NOT A RADIO SIGNAL EXPERT, SEAN HUGHES HERE.
UH, HE'D PROBABLY BE THE ONE THAT YOU'D VISIT WITH ON THAT AND PROBABLY IT'D BE A GOOD DISCUSSION TO HAVE WITH HIM OUTSIDE OF COURT.
BUT I THINK THEY JUST DID A NEEDS ASSESSMENT COUNTYWIDE.
AND THAT WAS PART OF THE ARPA MONEY THAT WE JUST SPENT AND WE WE'RE CHOOSING TO GO A DIFFERENT ROUTE WITH THE TYPE OF, UH, TRANSMISSIONS THAT WE HAVE.
AND IT MAY NOT EVEN INTERFERE WITH THIS.
I GUESS THAT'S WHERE MY, IT WON'T WITH IT WON'T THOSE FUNDING WITH THAT 8 MILLION OR WHATEVER THAT WE FUNDED, IS THIS SOMETHING THAT HAS AN IMPACT ON THAT? SO ANYWAY, I'LL ASK, I'LL FOLLOW UP WITH HIM.
YOU HAVE THE DISCUSSION, ALL THE PAPERS, UH, AYE.
WE'LL GO TO COMPUTER NEXT TIME WE'LL
[6.E. Approve the renewal contract for the Lease at 5189 E 1-20 County Annex and take any action the court deems necessary. (John Forrest / Judge Deen)]
GO ADAM, ME APPROVE THE RENEWAL CONTRACT FOR THE LEASE AT 51 89 EAST I 20 COUNTY ANNEX AND TAKE ANY ACTION IN THE COURT DEEMS NECESSARY.AND THIS LEASE IS WITH THRIFT MART.
IT'S FOR THE JP COURT THAT HAS JUST RELOCATED.
THIS LEASE WOULD BE FOR AN ADDITIONAL ONE YEAR.
SO I, I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S WHAT Y'ALL WOULD LIKE IS TO HAVE A YEAR OR A MONTH TO MONTH, BUT RIGHT NOW, THE WAY THIS LEASE IS WRITTEN, IT'S FOR AN EXTENSION FOR ONE YEAR.
SO THEY'D RUN THROUGH MARCH OF 2024.
HOW LONG IS, UH, THIS UPGRADE GONNA TAKE? DO WE KNOW FOR SURE? AND MARK, MARK LONG'S HERE.
WELL, SO, UM, CCL TWO IS PLANNING ON MOVING OVER TO WILLOW PARK LIKE IN MID-MARCH, FIRST PART OF APRIL.
AND THE PROJECT UPSTAIRS WE'VE BEEN TOLD WILL TAKE SIX MONTHS.
SO I MEAN, I, THE FULL YEAR WOULD, SHOULD BE PLENTY.
UM, I DID SPEAK WITH THRIFTY MART BACK BEFORE CHRISTMAS AND THEY EXPRESSED, UM, A COOPERATION ON THAT WE COULD DO MONTH TO MONTH AND WITH A 30 DAY OUT, YOU KNOW, THAT THEY WOULD WORK WITH US ON A SHORTER TERM IF WE NEEDED.
BUT AT THIS TIME I DO RECOMMEND, UM, AT, YOU KNOW, LET'S GO AHEAD JUST IN CASE.
DO YOUR TERM, WE HAVE TO PAY THE WHOLE YEAR OR WE CAN DO IT.
FROM WHAT I UNDERSTOOD WHAT WE COULD, WE, WE WOULD NEED TO ADD THAT PROVISION WITHIN THE CONTRACT THAT WOULD ALLOW US TO HAVE A TERMINATION CLAUSE WITH 38 DAY NOTICE.
AND SO WE COULD LOOK AT THAT OR WE COULD GO BACK AND DO THE MONTH TO MONTH I MOVED TO APPROVE THE, UH, RENEWAL CONTRACT WITH, UH, THE ADDITION OF A 30 DAY, UH, NOTICE CLAUSE.
COMMISSIONER WALDENS MADE THE MOTION.
THE SECOND IS YOUR HONOR DISCUSSION.
IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION BEFORE WE VOTE? I THINK THE MACHINE WORKED AGAIN AND, UH, COMMISSIONER HALE MADE SECOND.
IS, IS THE RENT RATE THE SAME MONTH TO MONTH? OR IF WE SIGN THE ANNUAL? I JUST HAVE THE ANNUAL.
SO KIM, DID THEY GIVE YOU A DIFFERENT RATE? ANNUAL.
SO ANY, IF WE HAVE THE 30 DAY NOTICE.
YEAH, THEY, TO GET OUT THE, THE CURRENT MONTH TO MONTH RIGHT NOW IS $3,795 AND 85 CENTS.
I'LL BE TO GET OUT FROM UNDER THAT RENTAL DEAL.
WE'VE BEEN DOING THAT FOR YEARS.
THE, UNDER THE DISCUSSION SINCE 2007.
[6.F. Discuss/Take action on approval of expense reimbursement as defined by county policy for county representation at Parker County Day at the Capitol. (Judge Deen)]
F WHEN DISCUSSED, TAKE ACTION AND APPROVAL OF EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENT IS DEFINED BY A COUNTY POLICY FOR COUNTY REPRESENTATION AT PARKER COUNTY AT THE CAPITOL.UH, PARKER COUNTY DAY AT THE CAPITOL IS MARCH 28TH AND 29TH.
UM, THE, UNDER THE CURRENT, THIS, THIS, THIS IS FACILITATED BY THE, UH, I BELIEVE EAST PARKER COUNTY CHAMBER.
AND I THINK ALL THE CHAMBERS TOGETHER, UH, IS FACILITATING THIS.
THIS DOES NOT MEAN ALSO THE CITIES ARE GOING AS WELL AS THE, THE COUNTY INTENDS TO HAVE REPRESENTATION.
THE CRITICAL NEED HERE IS LOOKING AT THE SPECIFIC AGENDA THAT IS, IS HERE AND GIVEN THE CIRCUMSTANCES WITH WHICH WE'VE TALKED ABOUT, ONE BEING WATER, UH, THERE'S TRANSPORTATION, I'LL GO THROUGH THIS REAL QUICK.
10:00 AM MEETING WITH GLENN ROGERS 10 30, MEETING WITH SENATOR P KING AT 11 O'CLOCK MEETING WITH SENATOR DREW SPRINGER.
THE FACT THAT THEY'RE IN SESSION MAKES
[00:50:01]
IT VERY DIFFICULT TO MEET WITH THESE INDIVIDUALS AND HAVE THE TIME NECESSARY.AND THEY HAVE TAKEN THAT TIME, UM, ON THE VERY BACK OF THE AGENDA AND BREAKDOWNS IN SPECIFIC TO PARKER COUNTY.
WHILE THIS IS A CHAMBER SET UP EVENT, AND IT BY NO MEANS MAKES ANY RELEVANCE TO US BECAUSE WE'RE GOING ON OUR OWN AGENDA, UH, THAT BEING PUBLIC SAFETY INVESTMENT PROPERLY DISTRIBUTED, THE SECURITY OF OUR SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITY, SPECIFICALLY TRANSPORTATION, THAT IS SO CRITICAL.
THE, THE FOCUS IS ACQUIRING MATCHING FUNDS TO SUPPORT GROWTH IN OUR COUNTY.
AND I THINK COMMISSIONER WALDEN, YOU'VE ALLUDED TO THE, THE MAIN THING THERE IS, IS THE MATCHING FUNDS THAT'S GOING ALONG WITH THIS IS GONNA BE THE KEY.
UH, THE FEEDBACK THAT I'VE GOTTEN THERE IS IT'S GONNA BE VERY, UH, SUPPORTIVE IN THAT AREA.
UH, THAT'LL DIRECTLY IMPACT MANY ISSUES TO DISCUSS IN THE 88TH LEGISLATIVE SESSION OF WATER FUNDING SUPPORT.
AND I STRESS WATER FUNDING SUPPORT THAT THOSE DISCUSSIONS WILL BE AMONG SOME OF THOSE THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE TODAY.
AND ALSO OUTREACH FUNDING, ACQUIRING FUNDS DISTRIBUTED BY OUR COUNTY'S BIGGEST NEEDS IN MENTAL HEALTH, UH, RESOURCES INCLUDING STAFF STATE AND INCENTIVE REVENUE LOSS PACK.
UH, SOME OF THE, THE ISSUES THERE, THE TEXAS ENTERPRISE FUND AND SALES TAX BILL THAT THERE'S CURRENTLY UNDER SESSION.
UH, WE ARE, UH, CURRENTLY, UH, WITH THIS, THIS AGENDA HAS BEEN LOCKED IN.
OTHER BEEN THE DISCUSSION UNDER THE INFORMATION ON THE, UM, UNDER THE, THE, THE TRAVEL POLICY, THE TRAVEL ALAH COUNTY OR FOR OFFICIAL BUSINESS USE MAY INCLUDE EDUCATIONAL SEMINARS.
IT IS NOT THAT CONFERENCES, IT IS NOT THAT AND MEETINGS, WHICH IT IS THAT IN ADDITION TO TRAVEL FOR OFFICIAL DUTIES IN THE OFFICIAL POSITION IN THE OFFICE OF POSITION, UH, IT DOES COMPLY WITH THAT.
UH, IF YOU MOVE ON DOWN AND, AND BEAR WITH ME HERE JUST ONE SECOND.
UM, IT ALSO ALLUDES TO HERE TRAVEL EXPENSES RELATED TO OPTIONAL CONFERENCE EVENTS.
THIS IS NOT AN OPTIONAL CONFERENCE EVENT.
UH, IT IS A SPECIFIC MEETING AGENDA WITH OUR COUNTY OFFICIALS THAT WE'RE PARTICIPATING IN IS A COLLABORATIVE TEAM WITH THE CITIES THAT ARE GOING AND HAS NO RELEVANCE WHATSOEVER WITH THE, THE CHAMBER'S OBJECTIVES THERE TO, TO BRING THE COMMUNITY TOGETHER.
BUT THIS DOES COMPLY UNDER, UNDER OUR CURRENT TRAVEL POLICY FOR REIMBURSEMENT.
THAT AND, AND THE FACT TO GO BACK AND, AND THEN TELL OUR LEGISLATORS AND OUR LOCAL CITIES THAT WE'RE, WE'RE NOT GOING BECAUSE IT'S NOT APPROVED, UH, WOULD BE INCREDIBLY IN IN INAPPROPRIATE IN MY MIND.
UM, BRIANI, DO YOU WANT TO COME UP AND CAN I SUMMARIZE JUST A MOMENT PLEASE? UM, OUR, OUR CURRENT COUNTY POLICY DOES NOT ALLOW US TO GO TO THINGS OTHER THAN WHAT THERE, SO I THINK WHAT THE JUDGE IS ASKING FOR IS AN EXCEPTION TO THAT FOR THIS EVENT SO THAT COUNTY OFFICIALS CAN RECEIVE TRAVEL REIMBURSEMENT FOR ATTENDING THE PARKER COUNTY DAY AT THE CAPITOL.
IS THAT A GOOD SUMMARY? WERE YOU SCHEDULED TO GO FOR THESE MEETINGS BEFORE THE CHAMBER HAD THEIR LITTLE DEAL OR NO? NO, NO.
WE'VE, WE'VE ACTUALLY BEEN HAVING THE MEETINGS LOCALLY WHEN THEY HAVE COME TO TOWN.
UH, THIS IS AN ABILITY FOR US TO TAKE THE TIME NECESSARY TO MEET WITH ALL OF THEM IN OFFICE.
YOU JUST WANT TO DO IT WHILE YOU'RE THERE.
I MISSED THE LAST ONE, BUT I DIDN'T GO WHEN I GOT RIDICULED FOR IT.
UM, THIS YEAR WE NEED TO GO BECAUSE OF ALL THAT'S GOING ON.
NUMBER ONE, WATER TRANSPORTATION.
UH, IT'S CRITICAL THAT WE BE THERE AND I'M TAKING MY OWN CAR.
IT IS $740 IS WHAT THE COST OF THIS THING IS.
UH, BUT IT IS A NECESSARY NEED TO GO.
SO THAT'S $740 FOR YOUR, YOUR DEPARTMENT? IT'S OUTTA MY BUDGET AND IT IS BUDGETED, YES.
SO I UNDERSTAND THE, THE SITUATION IS THAT THE COUNTY IN THE PAST HAS NOT PAID FOR THAT.
I'VE BEEN IN THE PAST AND THE COUNTY DID NOT REIMBURSE THE TRAVEL FOR THAT BECAUSE IT'S NOT IN THE POLICY.
IS THAT WHY YOU'RE STANDING? SO YOU SAID YOU AND THE STAFF, SO WHAT'S THE STAFF? YOURS IS 700 AND SOMETHING.
WHAT IS WELL, THE PR OFFICER, WHICH I'LL REMOVE AND I'LL JUST BE THE ONE TO GO BECAUSE I'M THE ONE IN THE MEETING.
SO THE SEVEN $40 WILL BE THE, THE TOTAL COST OF THIS EVENT AND I AM TAKING MY OWN BUSINESS.
I'LL JUST TRY TO COME UP WITH A MONEY THAT YOU'RE ASKING.
SO AS THE JUDGE SAID, OUR COUNTY POLICY SAID IT MAY INCLUDE EDUCATIONAL SEMINARS, CONFERENCES, MEETINGS IN ADDITION TO TRAVEL FOR OFFICIAL DUTIES OF THE OFFICE OR THE POSITION.
SO UNDER THE DEFINITIONS OF THE COUNTY POLICY, IT SAYS OFFICIAL COUNTY BUSINESS AND IT DOES SAY ANY REIMBURSEMENTS ARE FOR OFFICIAL COUNTY BUSINESS.
OFFICIAL COUNTY BUSINESS IS ANY ACTIVITY RECOGNIZED BY COMMISSIONER'S COURT AS BEING OFFICIAL BUSINESS OF THE COUNTY? SO TRADITIONALLY IT IS TRAVEL RELATED TO CONFERENCES AND TRAININGS FOR EACH ELECTED OFFICIAL DEPARTMENTS AND MEETING, GOING TO MEETING AND MEETINGS AND MEETINGS, GOING TO CONFERENCES, UM, RELATED
[00:55:01]
TO THOSE OFFICIAL DUTIES.IT'S CONFERENCES PUT ON BY THE RESPECTIVE DEPARTMENTS, ASSOCIATIONS RECEIVING C P E, THOSE TYPES OF THINGS.
SO WHEN THESE TRAVEL ADVANCES CAME TO OUR OFFICE, YES, IT, IT WAS QUESTIONED, IT SAID IT ACTUALLY SAID LEGISLATIVE, UM, IN HERE IT SAID LEGISLATIVE SESSION IN PART OF IT.
AND SO WHEN WE'RE GOING THROUGH AND LOOKING TO, UM, APPROVE IT, LOOKING AT THE ACCURACY WHEN, WHEN MILLS ARE INVOLVED OR MILEAGE, ANYTHING LIKE THAT, LOOKING FOR THE, THE MAP, UM, FOR THE MILLS MAKING SURE, UM, WE, WE HAVE AN AGENDA TO SEE, OKAY, WELL IS THE CONFERENCE, YOU KNOW, PROVIDING BREAKFAST OR LUNCH OR THOSE TYPES OF THINGS TO SEE THE REASONABLENESS OF WHAT YOU'RE REQUESTING FOR THAT ADVANCE.
SO AN AGENDA WAS REQUESTED AND WHAT WE WERE PROVIDED, UM, IT HAD A PRELIMINARY CHAMBER AGENDA.
SO NORMALLY WE WOULD NOT, UM, APPROVE ANY SORT OF CHAMBER OF COMMERCE RELATED EVENTS.
AND SO YES, IT WAS, THERE WAS AN EMAIL THAT WAS SENT AND THEN THE JUDGE AND I HAD A CONVERSATION ABOUT IT.
AND SO BECAUSE IT'S SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE, WE TRADITIONALLY WOULD APPROVE THE CONVERSATION THAT I HAD IS I FEEL LIKE THIS IS GOING OUT OF THE SCOPE OF WHAT HAS TRADITIONALLY BEEN APPROVED UNDER OFFICIAL COUNTY BUSINESS.
BY ME PASSING THAT THROUGH THAT IS I'M FURTHER DEFINING THE SCOPE OF WHAT OFFICIAL COUNTY BUSINESS IS.
I'M NOT A POLICY MAKER, I AM NOT A DECISION MAKER THAT IS FOR COMMISSIONER'S COURT TO DECIDE.
AND SO THE CONVERSATION WAS, I FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE HAVING COMMISSIONER'S COURT DECIDE OR IS THIS AN ALLOWABLE EVENT? AND HAVING YOU ALL DECIDE THAT BECAUSE THE OTHER QUESTION IS, IS WHAT IF OTHER ELECTED OFFICIALS WANT TO GO TO THIS? WHAT IF OTHER DEPARTMENT HEADS WANT TO GO TO THIS? AND WHAT IF THEY WANT TO BRING THEIR STAFF? IS IT ONLY OKAY FOR THE COUNTY JUDGE TO GO? IS IT OKAY FOR OTHERS TO GO? BECAUSE WHEN WE'RE AUDITING THIS, WE HAVE TO GO BACK TO POLICY, WHETHER IT'S LAW, WHATEVER IT IS, WE HAVE TO HAVE SOME SORT OF METRIC TO JUSTIFY.
SO IF ANOTHER ONE COMES, WE HAVE ANOTHER COURT BEFORE THIS TAKES PLACE, HOW, HOW DO WE KNOW WHAT'S ALLOWABLE OR NOT? AND SO I SAID I WOULD LIKE COMMISSIONER'S COURT TO DECIDE THIS AND ALSO DECIDE WHO ARE WE GOING TO PAY THIS FOR.
BECAUSE I KNOW THAT THERE'S BEEN OTHER ELECTED OFFICIALS IN THE PAST THAT HAVE GONE TO THIS, BUT I KNOW THAT THEY HAVE PERSONALLY PAID FOR IT OUT OF THEIR POCKET.
AND I WAS GONNA SAY, MAYBE THIS SHOULD BE ON A CASE BY CASE BECAUSE I PLAN ON GOING AS A CHAMBER MEMBER, NOT AS A COUNTY EMPLOYEE.
I WILL MEET WITH THOSE INDIVIDUALS, BUT IT PROBABLY SHOULD BE A CASE BY CASE BASIS TO GET THESE APPROVED.
CAUSE IF YOU DO A BLANKET, IT OPENS UP PANDORA'S BOX, I WOULD THINK.
WELL, AND THAT WAS THE OTHER CONVERSATION WE HAD IS AGAIN, IT IT, WHEN WE TALK ABOUT KIND OF, YOU KNOW, IN BUDGET OF THE, YOU KNOW, CHAIN REACTION OF THINGS.
I FELT LIKE THAT THAT'S WHAT IT IS.
AND THEN THE QUESTION OF WHEN WOULD, DID WE START APPROVING THESE? WHEN DID WE START PAYING THESE? AND SO, YOU KNOW, I KNOW THAT IS ALWAYS A TOPIC OF DISCUSSION WHEN WE GO THROUGH BUDGET AND YOU KNOW, WHAT TYPE OF AND I KNOW IT COMES UP JUST WITH REGULAR, YOU KNOW, TRAINING RELATED TO THE DEPARTMENT ASSOCIATIONS AND WHO IS GOING TO THOSE AND EVERYTHING ELSE.
AND SO I'VE ALSO FELT LIKE, I KNOW THAT'S A TOPIC OF DISCUSSION.
I FELT LIKE THIS IS BEYOND THAT SCOPE AND, AND WHAT IT IS BRING UP, SINCE WE TALKED A MORE SPECIFIC AGENDA WAS BROUGHT FORTH.
THIS IS PROBABLY THE ONLY TIME THIS YEAR THAT THIS IS GONNA BE DONE.
UH, THIRD, I DON'T THINK DEPARTMENT HEADS ARE, UM, ANY OTHER ELECTED OFFICIALS ON THE COMMISSIONER'S COURT CAN GO, WE CAN POST THAT.
UH, BUT I DON'T THINK WE'RE GONNA OPEN PANDORA'S BOX ON SOMETHING THAT'S ONLY GONNA HAPPEN PROBABLY ONCE A YEAR.
AND A VERY SPECIFIC REASON IF YOU GO, THERE'S A VERY SPECIFIC REASON TO GO, UH, UNDER THE SCOPE OF COUNTY BUSINESS.
AND THAT'S WHY I'M GOING TO MEET SPECIFICALLY WITH THE LEGISLATORS ON THE CRITICAL NEEDS THAT WE'RE CURRENTLY, THEY'RE CURRENTLY THE COUNTY IS FACING TODAY.
SO I DON'T KNOW THAT ANYBODY ELSE WOULD BE GOING IN THAT CAPACITY.
AND PAT, JUST TO CLARIFY THE PANDORA'S BOX COMMENT, IF YOU DON'T SPECIFY IT ON A CASE BY CASE MM-HMM.
NOT WHERE YOU HAVE SPECIFIC PURPOSE OR MEETINGS.
THAT'S WHY I THINK IT SHOULD BE ON A CASE BY CASE WHERE YOU TOLD I DON'T DISAGREE.
[01:00:01]
DON'T DISAGREE.WHAT DAY DID YOU SAY THIS IS? MARCH? MARCH 28TH.
UM, AND, AND BRIANNA, YOU SAID THAT IF WE DETERMINE IT TO BE COUNTY BUSINESS AFTER HEARING ABOUT IT, THEN IT IS COVERED.
DO I HAVE THAT CORRECT? IF COMMISSIONER'S COURT DETERMINES THAT'S WHAT IT IS, THEN ALL COMMISSIONER'S COURT.
BUT, BUT I ALSO WOULD WANT IT, I GUESS DEFINE, BECAUSE IF IT'S SAYING IT'S COUNTY BUSINESS AND THEN THERE'S OTHER ELECTED OFFICIALS THAT DECIDE THEY WANT TO GO AND COURT DECIDES IT'S OFFICIAL COUNTY BUSINESS, THEN ARE, ARE WE FINE WITH ALL THOSE TRAVEL ADVANCES AND IF THEY WANT TO BRING OTHER MEMBERS OF THEIR STAFF TO GO TO PARKER COUNTY DAY AT THE CAPITOL? IS THAT WELL, THAT'S WHY IT'S ON A CASE BY CASE DEAL.
SO THEY NEED TO THEN PRESENT IT TO COURT AND PROVIDE THEIR EXACTLY.
YOU KNOW, WE ARE FISCAL, FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE.
WE'RE STEWARDS OF TAXPAYER DOLLARS.
THAT BEING SAID, SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO SPEND MONEY TO PUT PEOPLE IN THE POSITION TO BE INFLUENTIAL WHEN IT'S NECESSARY.
I CAN, UH, PERSONALLY COMMENT HOW HARD IT IS TO GET AHOLD OF REPRESENTATIVES DURING SESSION.
UM, I THINK SESSION ENDS AT THE END OF MAY THIS YEAR, AND THAT'S ASSUMING THAT WE DON'T HAVE A SPECIAL SESSION AFTER THAT, WHICH COULD PUT THOSE REPRESENTATIVES OUT OF TOUCH FOR, FOR QUITE A WHILE.
UM, I DO WANT TO SAY, BRIAN, I APPRECIATE YOU BEING DILIGENT ON THIS, THAT, THAT, UH, I THINK SPEAKS VERY HIGHLY OF YOU, OF, YOU'RE, YOU'RE LOOKING AT THIS VERY CLOSELY AND YOU'RE BEING A VERY CAREFUL AND GUARDED AND SOBER STEWARD OF THE COUNTY DOLLARS.
AND I THINK THAT'S VERY PRUDENT ON YOUR BEHALF.
UM, THAT'S MY PERSONAL OPINION ON THAT, SO THANK YOU.
UM, YEAH, THAT'S, THAT'S MY COMMENTARY FOR NOW.
BUT DIDN'T THAT JUDGE, DIDN'T YOU SAY THAT YOU HAD IT BUDGETED TO BE ABLE TO GO? IT'S, IT'S IN THE BUDGET TO GO.
I TYPICALLY GO TO TWO, UH, A YEAR, ONE PROBATE, UM, MAYBE A SECOND ONE, BUT THE BUDGET DOES COVER THIS, SO WE WOULDN'T ACTUALLY BE PAYING MORE MONEY IF IT'S BUDGETED OR NO, I MEAN, AND, AND THAT WAS THE THING.
WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IT, IT'S WITHIN OR IF A DEPARTMENT HAS IT BUDGETED, IT'S JUST, I MEAN REALLY IT'S ALSO COVERAGE FOR MYSELF CUZ I I KNOW IT'S, THE QUESTION CAN COME UP WHEN IF, IF IT'S ASKED LATER, WHEN DID WE START PAYING FOR THIS OR IF OTHERS COME UP, IT'S, IT'S ALSO COVERAGE FOR MYSELF IS THAT COMMISSIONER'S COURT APPROVED IT SURE.
IT'S NOT DOING SOMETHING THAT'S STEPPING BEYOND MY MEANS WHERE I'M BECOMING A DECISION MAKER BECAUSE THAT'S Y'ALL'S JOB.
AND YOU HAVE MEETINGS SET UP WITH ALREADY SET UP.
YES, THEY ARE WITH THESE GUYS.
WELL JUST TO FURTHER MUDDY THE WATER, IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE JUDGE'S REQUEST, BUT, BUT I, I DIDN'T GO DOWN THERE TWO YEARS AGO TO, TO ENJOY THE DRIVE, YOU KNOW, AND MY REQUEST FOR FOR TRAVEL WAS TURNED DOWN IF I EVEN ASKED FOR IT.
I GUESS I WAS JUST TOLD THAT IT WAS, I DON'T THINK I ASKED FOR IT, DON'T, I I RECOGNIZE, I MEAN I DIDN'T, I DIDN'T COME TO COURT WITH IT, BUT I JUST SAID, IS THIS A REIMBURSABLE AND ANSWER WAS NO.
SO THAT DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH WHAT THE JUDGE'S COMMENTS WERE.
IT JUST FURTHER MUDDIES THE WATER.
AND I ALSO WILL BE ATTENDING THIS YEAR AS WELL.
IF, IF WE WERE ABLE TO ESTABLISH OUR OWN ITINERARY AND SET UP OUR OWN MEETINGS FOR SPECIFIC ITEMS THAT WE, THAT ARE IMPORTANT, DOES THAT TAKE CARE OF THE ISSUE HERE? I MEAN, I CAN HAVE SOMEONE SEND ME OR, YOU KNOW, I CAN MAKE OUTLOOK CALENDAR MEETINGS, RIGHT? I MEAN I CAN DO THAT ALL DAY LONG.
AND THAT'S THE THING IS I WOULD PREFER WHERE IT'S, IF WE'RE GONNA DO IT SOMETHING WHERE IT'S NOT, UH, YOU KNOW, AN ASSOCIATION PROVIDED OR T OR WHATEVER, AND MAYBE THAT'S SOMETHING IF THEY'RE GONNA GO TO IT.
SO THAT WAY IT'S WHETHER IT COMES TO COMMISSIONER'S CORE OR THAT'S PART OF THE BUDGET PROCESS WHERE IF YOU'RE WANTING TO GO TO A TRAINING FOR THE NEXT YEAR, THAT YOU SUBMIT THAT AS PART OF IT AND THEN IT'S OFFICIALLY APPROVED OR SOMETHING.
SO THAT WAY WE'RE NOT HAVING TO SIT IN, MAKE DECISIONS THAT YOU SHOULDN'T BE HAVING TO WRITE.
SO TO YOUR POINT, UH, I BROUGHT THIS UP A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO AT, AT BUDGET TIME, UH, ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT WE SPEND GOING TO TRAINING AND IT'S QUITE FRANKLY A LOT OF MONEY THAT GETS SPENT FOR TRAINING.
UH, SO IF, IF WE HAD SOMETHING THAT I WOULD RATHER WE DO, I, I THINK THAT THE
[01:05:01]
BETTER THING TO DO WOULD BE TO SUBMIT A LIST OF THOSE SEPARATELY.CUZ WHAT HAPPENS IS IT COMES ALONG IN THE BUDGET REQUEST THAT I'M GOING TO TAKE, YOU KNOW, THIS, DO THIS AMOUNT OF TRAINING.
WE HAVE REQUIRED TRAINING THAT WE HAVE TO GO TO, AND THEN THERE'S WHO NEEDS TO GO TO THAT AND ALL THOSE TYPES OF THINGS.
UH, THIS ONE WOULDN'T SHOW UP ON THAT LIST, BUT IS IT IMPORTANT TO THE COUNTY? WELL, I, I THINK PROBABLY IT IS.
SO THE WAY TO HANDLE THIS, I THINK PROBABLY IS, IS THE, THE COUNSELOR, UH, OUTLINED IS TO HANDLE THEM ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS.
AND SO THAT WAY THE COURT CAN MAKE THAT DECISION AND THEN WE CAN LIVE WITH IT.
OTHERWISE, IF WE OPEN IT UP TO ANYBODY THAT WANTS TO GO ANYTIME, WE'RE GONNA HAVE ALL KINDS OF, SO, WELL, I'VE GOT IT IN MY BUDGET, I'M GONNA GO AND, AND SO IF IT'S OUTSIDE OF THE SCOPE OF WHAT THE'S OFFICE THINKS IS IN POLICY, THEN THEY NEED TO BRING IT TO US AND ASK, JUST LIKE YOU HAVE DONE.
AND I APPRECIATE YOU DOING THAT.
PERSONALLY, I THINK I'VE HEARD ENOUGH TO WHERE I THINK I'M READY TO MAKE A MOTION.
I MAKE THE MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THIS AS OFFICIAL COUNTY BUSINESS SUBJECT TO THE FUNDS COMING OUT OF THE JUDGE'S BUDGET AND SUBJECT TO A, WELL, HANG ON BEFORE I FINISH THAT.
JUDGE, YOU'RE SAYING THAT YOU'RE GONNA GO BY YOURSELF NOW? MM-HMM.
SUBJECT TO A MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF $800 TO COME OUT OF THE JUDGE'S BUDGET AND OTHERWISE APPROVE THIS AS OFFICIAL COUNTY BUSINESS.
WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER HOLT.
UH, DO WE HAVE A SECOND? I'LL MAKE THE SECOND ON THAT JUST TO JUST TAKE IT TO ABOUT, UM, IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL ON FAVOR? AND I WOULD SAY IT'S JUST TO BE CLEAR, IT'S NOT A POLICY CHANGE TO WHAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE, CORRECT? YEAH.
AND IT'S ON, IT'S SOLELY FOR, FOR JUDGE, CORRECT? JUST ONE OF YOU.
ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? UH, PASS.

[9.A. PRECINCT 1]
MOVE TO ITEM NINE ON PLATS.UM, WE'RE GONNA, WE'RE GONNA JUMP DOWN ON THE, UM, ITEM TWO ON A ONE OR ITEM A PRECINCT ONE.
WE'RE GONNA MOVE TO ITEM TWO FIRST, APPROVE THE FOLLOWING RECOMMENDATION FROM FRIES NICHOLS FOR THE WESTLAKE RIDGE SUBDIVISION.
ITEM A, CONSIDER REMOVING THE SEGMENT OF THE PROPOSED NORTH SOUTH MINOR AREA ART ARTERIAL BETWEEN FM SEVEN 30 AND THE FUTURE.
PROPOSED EASTWEST, MAJOR ARTERY ARTERIAL LUBE NUMBER TWO, WASUP RANCH DEVELOPED, DEDICATE THE NECESSARY ROUTE OF WAY FOR A COLLECTOR THAT CONNECTS TRAIL WOOD ROAD TO THE EASTERN LOOP, AKA RICH RICK WILLIAMSON MEMORIAL HIGHWAY EXTENSION.
AND NUMBER THREE IS PART OF THE TEXAS THOROUGHFARE PLAN UPDATE.
CONSIDERED AN ALTERNATIVE CONNECTION TO EITHER THE WEST CONNECTING UPPER DENTON TO THE EAST LOOP, OR A CON CONNECTION TO THE EAST THAT EXTENDS REGAL ROAD FROM SEVEN 30 NORTH TO UPPER DENTON ROAD.
AND TAKE ANY ACTION THE COURT DEEMS NECESSARY IN PRECINCT ONE.
UH, YEAH, CHRIS BOSCO WITH FRIES NICHOLS.
UH, IF YOU'RE ABLE TO SHARE A SCREEN, I THINK THIS MIGHT HELP.
UM, SO THIS, UH, IS EXHIBIT OF THE THOROUGHFARE PLAN AND KIND OF LOOKING AT THE ZOOMED IN PORTION, UH, GIVES YOU AN IDEA.
SO IT'S JUST OFF OF SEVEN 30 NORTH OF THE LOOP, RIGHT ADJACENT TO LAKE WEATHERFORD.
UM, AND THE, YOU CAN SEE THE PROPERTY THERE THAT'S, UH, KIND OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AND THE CURRENT THOROUGHFARE PLAN ALIGNMENT THROUGH THAT PROPERTY.
UM, SO THAT'S KIND OF RIGHT IN THIS AREA.
UM, SO THIS NEXT EXHIBIT SHOWS YOU THE, UH, PRELIMINARY SITE PLAN.
[01:10:01]
UH, THEY PUT ON THERE THAT THAT KIND OF MAGENTA PURPLE LINE IS ABOUT WHERE THAT, UM, ROAD WOULD GO THROUGH ACCORDING TO WHAT THE THOROUGHFARE PLAN'S SHOWING.THERE'S TWO KIND OF, UH, CHALLENGES WITH THIS SPECIFIC ROUTE.
AND TO BACK UP A LITTLE BIT, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE DO THE THOROUGHFARE PLAN, WE'RE KIND OF 50,000 FOOT, UH, LOOKING FOR CONNECTIVITY WITH WEATHERFORD'S PLAN AND WITH EXISTING COUNTY ROADS.
AND SO WHEREAS THIS, UH, YOU KNOW, IN, IN INTERACTING WITH THE DEVELOPER AND THEIR ENGINEER AND YOU'RE LOOKING AT, YOU KNOW, BOOTS ON THE GROUND, KIND OF WHAT THE TOPOGRAPHY IS.
SO THERE'S TWO CHALLENGES IN THIS AREA.
ONE, UH, THERE IS A POWER, A TRANSMISSION POWER LINE CORRIDOR, YOU CAN KIND OF SEE IN THEIR, UM, THEIR PLAN OF THEIR SITE PLAN THAT CUTS THROUGH.
UH, OBVIOUSLY AT THE SCALE, THE THOROUGHFARE PLAN, IT WASN'T OUR INTENTION TO HIT EXACTLY ON THAT LINE.
IT'D NORMALLY BE ADJACENT TO THE, UM, THE CHALLENGE HERE REALLY IS TOPOGRAPHY.
UH, IT'S HARD TO SEE AT THIS SCALE, BUT FROM THIS END TO THE BOTTOMS ABOUT A 90 FOOT DROP IN ELEVATION.
UH, AND SO REALLY FROM A PRACTICAL STANDPOINT, EVEN THOUGH CONCEPTUALLY THE ROAD IS IN THIS AREA, UH, MUCH LIKE WHEN WE DID THE LOOP, IF YOU REMEMBER, THE LOOP WAS VERY SMOOTH IN THE ORIGINAL THOROUGHFARE PLANS, BUT THEN AS YOU TRY TO NAVIGATE TOPOGRAPHY AND HOUSES, UH, THERE'S ADJUSTMENTS THERE.
SO, UH, THE REASON WHY WE'RE RECOMMENDING THAT THIS SEGMENT, UH, BE REMOVED FROM THE THOROUGHFARE, IT'S NOT REALLY A PRACTICAL SEGMENT TO BUILD A ROAD BOTH FROM THE TOPOGRAPHY STANDPOINT AND KIND OF NAVIGATING THE TRANSMISSION, UH, UTILITY THERE.
UH, SO YOU'LL SEE IN THIS, UH, MAP HERE, UM, SHOWS YOU, SO THERE'S ONE OTHER KIND OF ELEMENT HERE IS, UM, THERE'S ANOTHER DEVELOPMENT THAT IS, UH, ACTIVELY BEING LOOKED AT THAT WOULD ACTUALLY, UH, DEDICATE THIS PIECE OF RIGHT AWAY.
UM, AND THAT'S CONSISTENT WITH WEATHERFORD'S THOROUGH FOR A PLAN.
UM, SO WHAT WE'RE RECOMMENDING IS THAT THIS SEGMENT THAT RUNS THROUGH THAT PROPERTY IS REMOVED, BUT THEN, UH, IN A FUTURE UPDATE TO THE THOROUGHFARE PLAN, THERE'S KIND OF TWO CONSIDERATIONS.
UH, IT COULD BE AN EXTENSION OF UM, WHAT'S BEING DEDICATED ALREADY AND, UH, EXTEND UP AND BASICALLY GET ON THE ROUTE OF UPPER DENTON ROAD AT THAT POINT.
UH, OR IT COULD BE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE, UM, LAKE AS YOU SEE HERE AND KIND OF GET THAT NORTHWEST, UH, CONNECTION AND IN THAT MANNER.
UH, AND, AND THE REASON WHY WE'RE NOT SPECIFICALLY STATING, HEY, WE SHOULD MOVE IT AT THIS POINT.
NORMALLY WHEN YOU DO A THOROUGHFARE PLAN UPDATE, YOU KNOW, THERE MIGHT BE HALF A DOZEN OF THESE ADJUSTMENTS AND THEN YOU'RE DOING PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT.
UH, SO IF THERE'S OTHER DEVELOPERS IN THE AREA, THEY HAVE ABILITY TO TO COMMENT ON IT.
SO, UH, THE RECOMMENDATION, UH, AND APPROVAL WE'RE SEEKING WOULD BE JUST TO REMOVE THIS SEGMENT THAT IS BASICALLY FROM SEVEN 30 ADJACENT TO THE LAKE, UH, TO THE THERE THERE'S A FUTURE SEGMENT, UH, OF A UH, EAST WEST CORRIDOR THAT'S ON THE THEFOR PLAN.
AND SO THAT SEGMENT WILL BE REMOVED FOR NOW AND THEN EVALUATED FURTHER TO UM, GET THAT CONNECTION 2 7 30 OR THE LOOP IN THE FUTURE.
SO MOVE WISH MAYBE MY COMMISSIONER CONNOLLY SECOND BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN.
