Feb 27, 2023 Commissioners Court

UNDER APPROVAL ON THE APPOINTMENT OF WEATHERFORD MAYOR PAUL PASCO TO BE APPOINTED TO THE 9 1 1 BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

WE'RE GONNA GO DOWN TO ITEM FIVE

[5.A. Appointment of Weatherford Mayor Paul Paschall to the 9-1-1 Board of Directors. (Judge Deen)]

AND WHEN IT'S BEEN A POSITION THAT I'VE HELD IN THE PAST IN THIS, WITH THE, THE CHALLENGES AHEAD WITH OBVIOUSLY WITH NEEDS THAT WE HAVE IN THE COUNTY WITH WATER AND, AND TRANSPORTATION BEING A PRIORITY, AS WE CONTINUE TO PRIORITIZE THAT, UH, I THINK IT'S, IT'S BEEN GOOD.

AND WE'VE TALKED WITH CITY OF WEATHERFORD WITH, UH, MAYOR PASCO, AND I THINK IT'S GREAT TO DIVERSIFY THIS RESPONSIBILITY OUT TO SOMEBODY THAT WILL, WILL GIVE IT THE, UH, ATTENTION THAT IT NEEDS.

UM, WE DO HAVE, UM, THE CITY MANAGER JAMES HOT TOP.

DO YOU WANT TO COME UP OR IS THERE SOMEBODY HERE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS? ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER, LANCE ARNOLD.

JUDGE MEMBERS OF THE COURT.

UH, THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME TALK ABOUT THIS FOR A MINUTE.

SO, UH, NT 9 1 1, WHICH PARKER COUNTY IS, UH, A PROMINENT MEMBER IN IS ABOUT A 14 COUNTY REGION FOR 9 1 1.

THAT COVERS REALLY ALL OF THE DFW AREA OUTSIDE OF PARENT COUNTY, DALLAS COUNTY AND VINTON COUNTY, WHICH HAVE THEIR OWN 9 1 1 SYSTEMS. UH, AND SO THIS BOARD OF DIRECTORS COVERS, UH, ABOUT 1.8 MILLION, I THINK AT LAST COUNT OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE 9 1 1 SERVICE.

UH, THEY, A FEW YEARS AGO, THE, THE NORTH CENTRAL TEXAS 9 1 1 BROKE OFF FROM THE NORTH CENTRAL TEXAS COUNTY GOVERNMENTS, UM, TO BECOME THEIR OWN 9 1 1 DISTRICT.

AND SOME OF THAT WAS SO THAT THEY RECOUP THE 50 CENT, UH, 9 1 1 THAT WE ALL PAY EVERY MONTH ON OUR CELL PHONES.

AND SO, UM, THIS BOARD OF DIRECTORS IS AN, UH, INFORMED POSITION.

IT'S, UH, NEWLY FORMED WITHIN THE LAST COUPLE YEARS.

JUDGE, YOU SERVED THE FIRST TERM ON THAT.

IT HAS TO BE AN ELECTED POSITION.

PARKER COUNTY HAS A STANDING SEAT ON THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS THERE.

AND SO, UH, THE, AND, AND THE COURT AND THE JUDGE HAVE TO, UH, APPOINT SOMEONE THAT'S ELECTED INTO THAT POSITION.

SO I WOULD BE HAPPY ANSWERING QUESTIONS FOR YOUR TERM.

IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS? MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER CONLEY WITH THE SECOND BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN? YOU KNOW, THE DISCUSSION BEFORE WE VOTE? HOW MANY, HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE ON THAT BOARD? SO, 30, I THINK, I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY.

IT'S A LARGE BOARD.

[00:05:01]

IT'S A LARGE BOARD.

THERE'S A 30 TO 30 IN 30 TO 36 RANGE.

UM, YEAH, IT'S A, IT'S A BIG, BIG MEETING.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALL IN FAVOR? PASS FIVE.

TO ITEM D ONE ON INTER DEPARTMENTAL TRANSFERS OF EQUIPMENT AND INVENTORY REPORTS.

AND THANK MAYOR PASCO, UH, FOR HIS PARTICIPATION TO WANT NOT DO THAT.

GO BACK

[4.D. PURCHASING:]

IS THERE ANYTHING, KIM? NO.

ITEM TWO.

UH, EAST ANNEX PROJECT UPDATE AND TAKE ANY ACTIONS NECESSARY.

KIM? NO.

GO TO ITEM THREE D APPROVED THE SALVAGE INSTRUCTION OF BULLETPROOF VESTS, PEPPER, GUN, AND HOLSTER AND LAW BOOKS THERE.

SHERIFF'S OFFICE IS REQUESTING THAT THE ATTACHED BULLETPROOF VEST SALVAGE ALSO, HE IS REQUESTING DESTROY CELL DATA OR HANDOVER TO ANY THIRD PARTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE REQUESTING FOR DESTRUCTION, REQUESTING LAW.

YOU'RE ABOUT TO THOSE LAW.

I'LL MAKE THE MOTION TO APPROVE.

COMMISSIONER HA HAS MADE THE MOTION FOR APPROVAL WITH SECOND BY COMMISSIONER CONLEY.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? UH, THAT QUESTION.

QUESTION REGARDING THE LAW BOOKS.

CAN WE WE HAVE ANY MORE INFORMATION REGARDING THAT OTHER THAN THE JP JUST SAYS THAT HE DOESN'T NEED THEM ANYMORE.

THEY'RE UPDATED.

THE, THE LAW THAT THAT'S RIGHT ON VERNON'S, YOU KNOW, EVERY STATUTORY, UH, SESSION OR LEGISLATIVE SESSION EVERY TWO YEARS, THEY PRETTY MUCH BECOME USELESS.

I UNDERSTAND.

I JUST, JUST VERIFYING NO VALUE.

CORRECT.

SIMILAR.

I ASSUME IT'S PUBLIC SAFETY ISSUES AS, AS TO WHY WE'RE NOT RESELLING THOSE OR CAPTURING VALUE START SO EXPIRED.

AND THEN THE, UM, YEAH.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALL IN FAVOR PASS FIVE.

ITEM FOUR EXCEPT REJECT RENEW PC 23 DASH 24 AUTOMOTIVE SUPPLIES FOR PC 23 4 AUTOMOTIVE BEST VALUE DUE TO PROXIMITY FOR THE CONTRACT THREE BEGINNING UPON AWARD TODAY THROUGH FEBRUARY 9TH OF 24.

AND WE'LL HAVE OPTIONS TO ADDITIONAL ONE YEAR PERIOD.

UM, WE, UH, TI AK AUTO SUPPLY DIDN'T TURN IN THEIR PAPERWORK CUZ HE, HE CALLED ME BACK AND SAID THAT, UH, HE GOT, I GUESS YOU EMAILED IT INSTEAD OF A HARD COPY AND THEY DON'T, DON'T READ ALL THEIR EMAILS, BUT ANYWAYS, WITH HE'S TRYING TO FIND SOME PAPERWORK, SO WE MAY BRING THIS BACK UP.

BUT IF, IF I DO HAVE, UM, PROOF THAT HE SENT SOMETHING I I DON'T FILES ILL, UM, HE PROBABLY JUST MESSED UP AND DIDN'T TURN IT IN.

SO UNFORTUNATELY, BUT, SO I'VE GOT TO THE COURT WITH, UH, YOU ALL DECIDE TODAY TO AWARD THIS CONTRACT AS, OR UM, WELL, CAN WE DO IT LIKE WE DO OTHERS WHERE WE HAVE THREE OR FOUR DIFFERENT ONES AND WE CAN USE THE HE COULD IF THEY HAD RESPONDED.

YEAH, BUT HE DIDN'T RESPOND.

SO, SO THE DEAL IS IF YOU, IF YOU WANT HIM TO DO THAT, THEN I SUPPOSE WE COULD ASK FOR ADDITIONAL AND YOU HAVE TO ADVERTISE AND ALL THOSE THINGS.

I DON'T HAVE TO YEAH.

HOW YOUR SITUATION IS, I'M QUITE SURE IS THAT THE, THE, THE PROXIMITY TO YOUR BARN IS OH YEAH.

REALLY? WE DON'T WANNA DRIVE 20, 40 MILES BOTH WAYS, BUT, BUT HE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY.

HE JUST DIDN'T GET THE EMAIL, BUT OKAY.

WE HAVE A MOTION, WE HAVE SOMETHING TO ADD.

WELL, YOU COULD PROBABLY AWARD TODAY FOR THE ONES THAT ARE SPECIFICALLY, UM, AMENABLE TO THE PRECINCTS THAT ARE HERE THAT WOULD NEED THOSE SERVICES, BUT THEN OPENED IT UP SPECIFICALLY AGAIN.

[00:10:01]

CORRECT.

LET ME SAY, I'M GONNA, KIM, I DO, I I DO HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR.

COMMISSIONER WALDEN HAS MADE THE MOTION.

DO I HAVE A SECOND? WE GO INTO DISCUSSION.

I THOUGHT IT WAS ALREADY SECONDED.

IS THAT A SECOND? I'LL DO IT SECOND.

MADE BY COMMISSIONER CONLEY WHERE THE DISCUSSION PAY.

SO MY QUESTION IS, IF WE DO THAT, WOULD PRECINCT ONE BE ABLE TO PURCHASE FROM WARDROBE IN THE MEANTIME? IT WOULD.

EVERYBODY WE COULD THE MOTION ACROSS THE BOARD AND THEN COURT PRECINCT ONE AND ONLY I PRECINCT TWO ALSO ALLOW TO BE.

WELL YOU COULD MAKE THE NEW ADVERTISEMENTS SPECIFIC TO WHOMEVER YOU'D LIKE.

IT SHOULD JUST BE A SUBSEQUENT ONE.

WELL, THAT MAKES IT BETTER.

PRECINCT TWO BUY STUFF THERE TOO.

I MEAN, YEAH, I KNOW WE BUY IT FROM THEM, BUT WE ALSO BUY IT FROM WOODRUFF AS WELL.

YEAH, BUT WE GET A LOT FROM THEM.

ARE, ARE WE LIMITED TO ONE OR THE OTHER OR COULD WE BUY FROM BOTH? AFTER BOTH ON THE LIST, WE CAN BUY FROM BOTH OF, WE CAN BUY FROM BOTH.

WE RECOMMEND THAT THAT PROVIDE THE LOWEST BID.

AS PART OF PROXIMITY, OF COURSE.

UM, SOMETIMES SURE.

BE LOW AND BEST.

SO IF IT COSTS YOU $10 TO DRIVE TO WEATHERFORD WHERE YOU SPEND A DOLLAR, BUT SPEND TWO MORE DOLLARS ON THE PART THEN AND, AND THAT'S WHERE WE ENCOURAGE THE SHOPPING ON MAY DISCOUNTED NOW TO SAY, YOU KNOW, 5% OR 2% OR WHATEVER THEIR DISCOUNT, WHICH WERE THE DISCOUNT WOULD BE THE CHEAPEST POSSIBLE.

ALL RIGHT, WELL WE'LL GO AHEAD AND DO THIS.

LIKE A COUNSELOR SAID, MAYBE BRING SOMETHING BACK.

SO CAN I ASK PLEASE, CAN YOU JUST REPEAT WHAT THE MOTION IS EXACTLY? MY MOTION IS TO APPROVE THE RECOMMENDATION OF PURCHASING TO AWARD PC 23 DASH 24 AUTOMOTIVE SUPPLIES TO WOODRUFF AUTO SUPPLY AND WEATHERFORD.

OKAY, THANK YOU.

WILL YOU ADD TO THAT MOTION TO AUTHORIZE ME TO ADVERTISE FOR SPECIFICALLY FOR NOW OR DO YOU COUNCIL I'D GO AHEAD AND ADD IT TO IT CURRENTLY.

THAT'S FINE.

WE ADD ACCOMPLISHED.

AND IF WE ADD THAT WE HAVE EVIDENCE THAT THEY SUBMITTED SOMETHING BEFORE THEY DEADLINE LAST TWO, THEN OBVIOUSLY I'LL LET PUT IT BACK OUT.

BUT I, A NOTIFICATION BACK COURT PRESS OPPOSITIONS, SECRETARY.

OKAY, WE HAVE A, WE HAVE A MOTION TO AS SECONDARY THE DISCUSSION.

ALL IN FAVOR PASS FIVE.

ON FIVE ON ACCEPT, REJECT, RENEW PC 23 DASH 25 SPECIALIZED ALT PRODUCTS SPECIAL.

SO MOVED.

MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER CONLEY, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER HILL.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION BEFORE WE VOTE? ALL IN FAVOR? PASS.

OH, GOOD.

ITEM SIX ON SOURCE PC 23 DASH 31 CATERPILLAR TR TRACK LOADER FOR PRECINCT TWO.

OKAY, COMMISSIONER HOLTER MADE THE MOTION FOR APPROVAL WITH THE SECOND OF MY COMMISSIONER WALDEN.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR BY VOTE.

ITEM SEVEN, WE'LL TAKE NO ACTION.

GOOD ITEM MADE ON AUTHORIZE THE COUNTY JUDGE TO EXECUTE THE A D T CON AGREEMENT TO UPGRADE THE PRECINCT TO SECURITY SYSTEM.

SO, UM, REQUEST AGREEMENT ADT PRECINCT.

AND IF I CAN PROVIDE SOME COMMENTARY ON THAT.

HISTORICALLY, WE'VE HAD TWO DIFFERENT A D T ACCOUNTS WITH MULTIPLE ENTRY CODES DEPENDING ON WHICH DOOR YOU GO INTO AT OUR FACILITY, UH, WE HAD CAMERAS AT ONE POINT.

THOSE CAMERAS ARE NO LONGER OPERATIONAL.

GIVEN THE VALUES PRESENT AT THE SITE, I THINK IT'S PRUDENT TO INSTALL CAMERAS AND TO MAKE SURE OUR SECURITY SYSTEM IS, UH, UP TO

[00:15:01]

DATE.

I THINK THERE'LL BE SOME MONTHLY SAVINGS AS WELL BY CONSOLIDATING FROM TWO ACCOUNTS TO ONE ACCOUNT.

SO THAT'S THE INFORMATION ON THAT.

SO HOW COME THE CAMERAS QUIT WORKING EACH? YES SIR.

I BELIEVE THEY'RE, I KNOW THERE WAS SOME EQUIPMENT STOLEN FROM OUT THERE YEARS AGO.

THAT BEFORE HE GOT THOSE CAMERAS AND YEAH, I MEAN, WE HAVE THE SAME THING.

A D T AND CAMERAS AND EVERYBODY.

I THINK IT'S AN AGE ISSUE.

ARE WE DISCUSSING, BECAUSE I, WE'VE, WE'VE HAD IT CHANGE OURS OUT AS THEY'RE WORKING ON OURS AND WE'RE GONNA HAVE A DIFFERENT SYSTEM THAN ADT JAMES.

CAN I, CAN, CAN I ASK FOR A MOTION ON THIS? AND UH, UH, WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER HOLLAND WITH THE SECOND BY COMMISSIONER HOLT.

WE'RE IN THE DISCUSSION PHASE.

UH, PRECINCT DID REACH OUT.

UH, WE'RE ACTUALLY, SORRY, UH, PRECINCT THREE, IF I'D LIKE TO DISCUSS FURTHER, WE COULD DO SOME OPTIONS WITHOUT A MONTHLY FEE AND, UH, MONEY SAVINGS AND I THINK IT'S BEEN WORKING PRETTY GOOD.

IT IT IS.

AND, AND SO THE MONITORING EVENTUALLY IS GONNA LEAD TO, WELL OUR, OUR GOAL IS THE ALERTS ARE GONNA BE DRIVEN LIKE TO US AND THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE BACK TO DISPATCH DIRECTLY BASED OFF EMAIL CAMERA ALERTS.

SO THAT, THAT'S OUR END GOAL IS TO HAVE THOSE RIGHT THERE WHERE, UH, UH, WE COULD GET HELP QUICKLY.

YOU CAN HANDLE ALL FOUR PRECINCTS.

IT, IT, THIS TYPE OF STUFF.

NOW I'M SORRY WE JUST HAVEN'T TALKED.

I, I MEAN YEAH, NO, THAT'S VERY INTRIGUING TO ME.

IF WE APPROVE THIS HERE, I GUESS THIS IS A QUESTION FOR YOU.

IF WE APPROVE THIS HERE, CAN I STILL GET WITH HIM? WELL, ONCE WE APPROVE THIS, DO I HAVE TO? YOU CAN.

IT'S A 30 DAY OUT ON THAT, THAT CONTRACT.

SO ALL OF OUR CONTRACTS, WE MAKE SURE THAT WE PLACE IN THERE A 30 DAY OUT CLAUSE.

WITHOUT CAUSE.

SO, UH, AS LONG AS WE MAKE SURE THAT THAT IS WORDED PROPERLY, YOU COULD TERMINATE THAT, START THIS, BUT DEPENDS ON HOW QUICKLY JAMES WOULD, YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT INSTALLATION, THAT'S GONNA OVERLAP.

YEAH, THAT'S KIND A DISCUSSION.

JAMES AT IT AND SEE WHAT YOU'RE NEEDING, WANTING, AND SEE WHAT WE COULD DO, WHAT THE TURNAROUND WOULD BE.

YEAH, I THINK I'D LIKE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS MOTION, BUT THEN GET WITH YOU JAMES IMMEDIATELY.

AND SEE IF WE CAN GET SOMETHING DONE.

KIM, YOU HAVE ANYTHING? OKAY.

IF WE HAVE A MOTION AND SECOND OR ANY OTHER DISCUSSION.

DO IS, DO YOU KNOW THE TERM OF THE AGREEMENT? UH, I BELIEVE THERE WAS SOME DISCUSSION BETWEEN IT BEING A THREE YEAR VERSUS A ONE YEAR.

DID WE SETTLE ON ONE YEAR? SO IT'S, IT'S A 36 MONTH AGREEMENT, BUT WE HAVE NOT APPROPRIATE APPROPRIATION LANGUAGE IN THERE BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY IF THE COURT DOES NOT AWARD MONEY, ALLOCATE MONEY IN THE BUDGET PROCESS, THEN IT DOES HAVE THAT IN MY SUGGESTION WITH, WITH THE CONTRACT BEING THE WAY IT IS.

SO THERE ISN'T ANY DIFFICULTY.

MAYBE TABLE IT FOR ONE SESSION VISIT WITH JAMES, SEE HOW QUICKLY HE COULD GET THAT EQUIPMENT IN.

BECAUSE IF WE'RE TALKING TO ADTS, GONNA GET IT IN IN A MONTH.

JAMES GETS IT IN IN TWO MONTHS AND YOU'RE TELLING HIM TO TAKE IT RIGHT BACK OUT.

MAY NOT BE REAL CLEAR TO AD T YEAH.

I'LL WITHDRAW MY MOTION.

WE WON'T TAKE NO ACTION ON THIS ITEM.

COMMISSIONER, IS THAT ACCEPTABLE TO YOU? GOOD ITEM NINE OR APPROVE THE SALVAGE AND DONATION OF ITEMS TO WEATHERFORD COLLEGE.

SO THE LIST OF ITEMS, UM, FROM RELATED TO IT, UM, HARDWARE AND SO FORTH, UM, WE ARE REQUESTING AUTHORIZATIONS TO DONATE THOSE TO WEATHERFORD COLLEGE FOR THEIR TRAINING PURPOSES, TO GIVE THEM HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE IN, UM, WORKING WITH SERVERS AND AND SO FORTH.

THEY CURRENTLY HAVE NO HANDS-ON TRAINING.

IT'S ALL, UM, DONE VIRTUALLY.

SO THIS IS A GREAT TOOL FOR, FOR THOSE STUDENTS TO LEARN.

AND IT OBVIOUSLY WE DON'T GET VERY MUCH, UM, PROCEEDS ON AUCTIONING THIS, THESE ITEMS OFF.

AND SO, YOU KNOW, IT'S YEAH, THAT FOR SCHOOL, WE'RE NOT GETTING VERY MUCH, WE'RE NOT GETTING MUCH RETURN ON TRYING TO AUCTION THOSE ITEMS THAT ARE, DON'T HAVE HARD DRIVES IN THEM AND CORRECT QUESTIONS.

UH, THIS, THIS CAME ABOUT, UH, RECENTLY JOINED THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE FOR WEATHER FOR COLLEGE, UH,

[00:20:01]

TECHNOLOGY CURRICULUM.

UH, WHEN THEY WERE GIVING ME A TOUR OF THE NEW WORK BUILDING, UH, GOING THROUGH ONE OF THE HARDWARE CLASSES, I NOTICED THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY HARDWARE AND THE TEACHER WAS ASKING, YEAH, WE'D LOVE, YOU KNOW, WE TRY TO GO OUT FOR DONATIONS.

SO I WAS LIKE, WELL, WE HAVE SOME STUFF WE'RE FIXING TO DONATE OR, SORRY, UH, UH, GO OUT FOR AUCTION.

AND WE TYPICALLY DON'T GET, YOU KNOW, MUCH AT ALL FOR 'EM.

AND A LOT OF TIMES THEY DON'T EVEN COME PICK 'EM UP.

SO MY THOUGHT WAS THEY COME THROUGH, LOOKED AT WHAT ALL THEY COULD USE, AND THE STUDENTS WERE REALLY EXCITED.

AND, UH, IT'S BASICALLY OLDER DESKTOPS, LAPTOPS, A COUPLE OLD SERVERS THAT THEY CAN DIG INTO AND, UH, TRY TO HELP THEM PREPARE AND THE REVERSE SIDE OF THE, TRY TO PICK UP SOME INTERNSHIPS ALONG THE WAY, SEMESTER'S GOING FORWARD.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? SO WE'RE ACTUALLY, WE'RE GONNA SALVAGE THESE ITEMS AND DONATE THEM IN ONE MOTION HERE.

AND, UH, WE, WE ACTUALLY DON'T HAVE A LIST OF THESE OR THEY JUST, OKAY.

IS IS THERE A LIST? I, I WAS MISSING IT IN MY PAPERWORKS REASON.

I ACTUALLY, I'M SORRY.

WE GOT THE LIST AFTER THE AGENDAS WERE DONE, THERE IS A LIST ATTACHED WITH THE CLERK'S MINUTES.

YOU ALL WANNA TAKE A LOOK AT THIS AND PASS IT AROUND? THAT'S FINE.

IT'S QUITE A BIT OF INFORMATION.

NO, IT'S, IT'S, IT'S FINE.

I JUST, UH, UH, I DIDN'T, I WASN'T ABLE TO SAVE THE, DONATE THE LIST BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE THE LIST.

SO THE, THE ITEMS ARE, UH, THERE'S LAPTOP SERVERS, LAPTOPS, PCS.

YES.

SWITCHES.

SEE, I'M GONNA MOVE THAT WE APPROVE THE, UH, SALVAGE AND DONATION OF THE, UH, ITEMS TO WEATHERED COLLEGE IS PROVIDED IN THE LIST.

I'LL SECOND COMMISSIONER WALDEN HAS MADE THE MOTION FOR APPROVAL.

COMMISSIONER HA HAS MADE THE SECOND.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL FAVOR PASS.

OH, GOOD.

ITEM 10.

AUTHORIZE THE COUNTY JUDGE TO EXECUTE THE CONTRACT WITH ZENITH ROOFING LLC TO INSTALL A PTL ROOF OVER THE AWNING AT THE PARKER COUNTY HISTORICAL COMMISSION.

ENTRANCE AT 1 0 1 NORTH MAIN STREET, WEATHERFORD PROTECTS IS PROCURED THROUGH TIPS U A CO-OP CONTRACT TWO HUNDRED TEN TWO HUNDRED FIVE.

BASICALLY THIS IS JUST TO WATERPROOF, UM, THE AREA OVER THE, UM, ENTRANCE TO THE HISTORICAL COMMISSION OVER AT THE COUNTY ATTORNEY'S IN AT 1 0 1 NORTH MAIN.

SO MOVED MOTION HAS BEEN MADE FOR APPROVAL BY COMMISSIONER CONLEY WITH THE SECOND BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN.

IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR.

PASS FIVE OH.

GO DOWN TO ITEM

[5.B. Approve the application to Adopt a County Road known as Sandlin Lane by Brian and Jennifer Giesbrecht in Memory of Hunter Hess in Precinct One. (Commissioner Conley)]

FIVE B.

APPROVE THE APPLICATION TO ADOPT COUNTY ROAD KNOWN AS SATLIN LANE BY BRIAN.

AND JENNIFER, I'M GONNA BUTCHER THIS.

GE BRIGHT.

DID I GET CLOSE? GOOD MORNING.

IN MEMORY OF HUNTER HESS IN PRECINCT ONE.

GOOD MORNING, DARWIN HURI.

I'M GOING TO, UH, APPROVE THE APPLICATION FOR, TO ADOPT A COUNTRY ROAD KNOWN AS SANDON LANE BY BRIAN AND JENNIFER REK IN MEMORY OF HUNTER HESS IN PRECINCT ONE.

MR. JERRY, WE APPRECIATE YOU, UH, DOING THESE ALL THE YEARS YOU'VE BEEN DOING IT, AND IT REALLY HELPS US A LOT.

SO THANK YOU.

AND, UH, WE APPRECIATE ALL OF YOU.

TO GO OUT AND PICK UP TRASH ON THE ROADWAYS.

I MOVED TO APPROVE FIVE B AS PRESENTED.

I'LL SECOND IT.

AND LET'S DO A COMMERCIAL FOR THE ADOPT A COUNTRY ROAD PROGRAM.

UM, THIS, THIS, UH, ADOPTION, UH, ENABLES US TO DO A COUPLE THINGS, BUT IT LETS US PUT A SIGN UP THAT TELLS PEOPLE WHO IS KEEPING THAT SECTION OF ROADWAY CLEAN.

AND, UH, IT'S IN, IN MY PRECINCT AND IN COMMISSIONER CONLEY'S PRECINCT, WE'VE DONE SEVERAL OF THESE.

AND IT, IT, IT, IT, UH, HELPS THE OVERALL LOOK OF THE ROADWAY BY ALL MEANS.

BUT IT ENCOURAGES PEOPLE NOT TO THROW TRASH OUT WHEN YOU KEEP IT CLEAN.

THEY DON'T THROW ADDITIONAL TRASH OUT IF YOU LET THE TRASH START STACKING UP, THEY THINK IT'S OKAY BECAUSE EVERYBODY ELSE IS DOING IT.

AND SO THIS HAS BEEN A, A REALLY SUCCESSFUL PROGRAM IN PRECINCT THREE.

I CAN TELL YOU FOR SURE THAT WE, WE, UH, RECOGNIZE THOSE PEOPLE.

WE TRY TO GET A, A PICTURE OF THEM AND, AND TRY TO PUBLICIZE IT SO THAT EVERYONE KNOWS THAT THEY ARE CLEANING THAT ROADWAY.

AND, UH, IF THEY DESIRE, UH, WE WILL PROVIDE THEM WITH TRASH BAGS AND COME AND PICK UP THAT TRASH.

MOST OF THEM DO IT ON THEIR OWN.

WE DON'T HAVE TO DO THAT.

BUT, BUT, UH, IT IS, HAS BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL MODELED AFTER THE, UH, ADOPT A HIGHWAY PROGRAM, UH, THAT, THAT TEX DOT HAS.

AND SO I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU IF YOU'RE ALREADY DOING THAT, TO GET OUT AND, UH, UH, IF YOU'RE ALREADY CLEANING YOUR ROADWAY, GET RECOGNITION FOR THAT.

LET PEOPLE KNOW THAT YOU'RE CLEANING YOUR ROADWAY AND LET PEOPLE KNOW THAT THERE'S SOMEBODY THERE.

SO GOOD COMMERCIAL.

AND IT'S, IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S REALLY HELPFUL BECAUSE, UH, AS WE ALL KNOW, WE DON'T HAVE THE MANPOWER

[00:25:01]

UH, WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, HUNDREDS OF MILES OF ROADWAY, UH, TWICE THAT MANY MILES OF DITCHES, AND WE JUST DON'T HAVE THE MANPOWER OR THE FUNDS TO BE ABLE TO PICK UP TRASH.

AND SO THIS REALLY HELPS.

AND, UH, AND FROM MY OWN EXPERIENCE, IF YOU KEEP IT CLEAN, IT, IT DISCOURAGES OTHER PEOPLE FROM THROWING IT OUT EXCEPT FOR THAT ONE GUY TO THESE CHICKEN IN THAT CHICKEN BOX THAT KEEPS SHOWING UP.

BUT WE'RE LOOKING FOR HIM.

BUT THANK YOU FOR THE TIME, JUDGE TO, UH, , THANK YOU FOR THE TIME TO, UH, DO A LITTLE COMMERCIAL FOR THE PROGRAM.

CAUSE IT IT IS A VERY GOOD PROGRAM.

AND MR. GEAR, WE, WE ALSO HAVE A LADY HERE THAT'S, UH, PICKS PICKING UP ON TUCKER ROAD AND THAT'S RIGHT.

SO IT'S TURNING OUT REALLY WELL.

CAN I ASK? SURE.

COME ON UP.

IF YOU WOULD, UM, WE'RE ACTUALLY DOING THIS, RIGHT? UH, CAN YOU COME, CAN YOU COME UP AND COME UP? TELL US WHO YOU ARE.

THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

COME ON UP AND STATE YOUR NAME, PLEASE.

UH, BRIAN GERE.

UH, MY QUESTION IS, UH, HOW COME WE DON'T HAVE, UH, UH, BECAUSE I NOTICE THE ROAD'S PRETTY MESSY AROUND HERE.

AND DO THEY TAKE INMATES AND LET PUT INMATES OUT ON THE ROAD TO CLEAN THEM LIKE THEY'RE DO IN SOME OTHER PLACES? OH YEAH.

WELL, I, I STARTED TO ANSWER THAT, UH, BEFORE YOU BROUGHT IT UP.

WE, WE DO HAVE INMATES, UH, UH, THAT THE, THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE PROVIDES US, UH, WE USE THEM IN OTHER WAYS.

WE GET FOUR, UH, EVERY, EVERY WORK DAY.

AND, UH, WE UTILIZE THEM IN AREAS WHERE, FOR TODAY, FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN WE'RE PAVING, UH, WE USE THEM FOR TRAFFIC CONTROL AND, AND BASICALLY, BUT WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH.

WE, WE USE THEM IN, IN PLACE OF OTHER EMPLOYEES, BUT, UH, YOU MIGHT ADDRESS ARREST MORE SIR, ARREST MORE.

YOU, YOU, I THINK, I THINK THE SHERIFF WILL TELL YOU HE'S DOING THE BEST THAT HE CAN.

BUT WE GET ASKED THAT QUESTION FREQUENTLY, WHY DON'T YOU HAVE A CREW, THE, THE INMATES THAT YOU HAVE PICKING UP TRASH? BECAUSE WE HAVE THEM DOING MORE VALUABLE THINGS FOR US THAN THAT.

THEY'RE, THEY'RE ESSENTIAL PART OF OUR OPERATION.

AND EACH OF OUR OPERATIONS ARE, THEY'RE VERY ESSENTIAL PART OF PICKUP TRASH.

GOTCHA.

BUT WE CAN'T DO IT EVERY TIME.

IT WAS JUST A QUESTION I HAD.

YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.

ONCE AGAIN, IN MY CASE, 365 MILES OF ROADWAY, IT WOULD BE A, A PRETTY DAUNTING TASK TO TRY TO KEEP ALL THAT PICKED UP EVERY DAY.

SO, BUT THANKS FOR ASKING THAT QUESTION.

WAIVE 10 DAY POSTING PERIOD FOR POSITION OF DEPUTY DISTRICT CLERK.

I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY.

THANK YOU'RE.

ANY OTHER, ANY OTHER COMMENTS? ALL IN FAVOR PASS FIVE.

OH, GOOD.

UH, WE HAVE SHARINA, GILLIAN, AND THE DISTRICT CLERK HERE.

COME ON UP.

GOOD MORNING.

UM, I'M ASKING TO WAIVE THE POSTING PERIOD.

UH, WE HAD A RESIGNATION IN JANUARY.

UM, SOMEBODY LEFT FOR A HIGHER PAYING POSITION TO WORK AT HOME FOR MORE FLEXIBILITY.

UH, WE POSTED THAT POSITION, WE INTERVIEWED AT THE END, TELL END OF OUR INTERVIEWS, WE HAD ANOTHER RESIGNATION.

SOMEBODY'S GOING TO GO WORK FOR THE FAMILY BUSINESS.

SO IN LIEU OF POSTING YET AGAIN, WE HAD A GOOD GROUP OF CANDIDATES AND WE WOULD LIKE TO HIRE FROM THAT GROUP THAT WE JUST INTERVIEWED.

ITEM D,

[5.D. Discuss/Take any action necessaiy regarding the building entrance to Parker County Historical Commission office space. (Mark Long / Judge Deen)]

UM, MARK, IF YOU WOULD, THIS IS IN REGARDS TO THE ENTRY TO THE HISTORIC COMMISSION.

UH, THERE'S NO HANDICAP RAMP IN THAT AREA.

UH, BRENDA AND I'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THAT THE A, THE O ATM MACHINE AND ALL THAT RIGHT IN THERE HAS GOTTA BE BUSTED OUT.

HOWEVER YOU WANT TO PUT IT.

AND I WON'T AUTHORIZATION FROM THE COURT TO DO THAT WHEN THEY'RE READY, BECAUSE WE CAN LIKE, TAKE INMATES ON A FRIDAY THAT THE OTHER PRECINCTS AREN'T USING AND GET A JACK HAMMERMAN, JUST KNOCK IT OUT AND MAKE IT READY FOR A RAMP.

DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS? UM, GOOD MORNING.

I'M BRENDA MCCLEAN AND GLAD TO BE HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE.

WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH, UM, MARCEL QUIMBY, THE ARCHITECT PRESERVATION ARCHITECT IN DALLAS, AND WE HAVE A SET OF REVIEW PLANS.

UM, I HAVE WITH ME, I WANTED TO GET WITH JOHN AND THEN, UM, WANTED TO PRESENT.

WE'RE NOT, WE'RE, WE, WERE IN THE PROCESS OF TWEAKING IT, SO WE DON'T HAVE FINAL PLANS,

[00:30:01]

BUT, UH, WE, WE REALLY DO NEED THAT.

THE RAMP WOULD BE THE FIRST THING THAT WE WOULD UNDERTAKE.

SO COUNSELOR, CAN WE, UH, LEGALLY RIP THAT OUT? ISN'T THAT A HISTORICAL BUILDING OR ONLY THE EXTERIOR? SO THE EXTERIOR, THE INTERIOR, WE CAN, WE CAN DO WHAT WE NEED TO DO.

SO THE EXTERIOR'S NOT ON THE NATIONAL REGISTER.

I CHECKED ON THAT BEFORE WE STARTED WITH RIGHT.

JUST WITH THC WE JUST HAVE TO GET 60 DAYS, THEY'RE ALLOWED 60 DAYS OF REVIEW.

SO WE DO MAKE A REQUEST ON ANY EXTERIOR ACTIVITY, BUT THEN, UH, THEY HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF INPUT AT THC, WHICH IS TEXAS HISTORICAL COMMISSION.

BUT THE INTERIOR WE'RE FREE.

PREDA ALTER IT HOWEVER WE'D LIKE.

BUT, YOU KNOW, KEEPING IT AS HISTORICALLY AS AS POSSIBLE.

I DON'T KNOW THAT THE ATM MACHINE, I DON'T KNOW HOW A STORY .

I LIKE HISTOR.

I DON'T LIKE, IT'S HISTORICAL.

IT MAY BE LATER ON AND IT LOOKED QUITE SECURE.

BUT ALL OF THE, THE CONCRETE AND I'M SURE STEEL, IT'S OKAY.

WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER CONLEY.

DO WE HAVE A SECOND? SECOND IS MADE BY COMMISSIONER HOLT.

ANY OF THE DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? DOES THIS, I'M SORRY.

PUT US IN COMPLIANCE WITH ADA TO WHATEVER EXTENT WE HAVE TO BE GIVEN THAT IT'S A HISTORICAL BUILDING.

WE ARE NOT IN COMPLIANCE RIGHT NOW, THE WAY IT'S SET UP.

IF WE PUT THAT RAMP IN, DOES IT PUT US IN COMPLIANCE? IT WILL, IT WILL, YES.

BUT NOT COMPLETELY IN THAT BUILDING.

MM-HMM.

BUT YES, IT WILL.

IT'S ON THE WAY.

THE, THE RAMP WILL HAVE TO BE BUILT TO ADA STANDARDS.

YES.

SO WE WILL WORK WITH THE CITY, UH, JAMES AND, AND PAUL BACK HERE TO, TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S PUT IN PROPERLY.

YES.

I THINK WE STILL HAVE FIRE EXIT ISSUES PERHAPS, BUT ANYWAY, SO ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR PASS.

I'LL QUICKLY ON AN UNRELATED TO THAT BUILDING THOUGH, THE, UH, ELEVATOR, UH, REMODEL PROJECT IS GONNA START EITHER AT THE END OF THIS WEEK OR EARLY NEXT WEEK.

LET, THERE'S SOMEBODY WANT TALK ABOUT THAT ITEM.

JUDGE, IN 2008, IF YOU WOULD TO, I, I'M NANCY FAUS.

IN 2008, PARKER COUNTY WAS DESIGNATED A PMA A PRIMARY, UH, GROUNDWATER CONSERVATION, GROUNDWATER MANAGEMENT AREA BY THE STATE.

THAT WAS WHEN WE CAME IN WITH THE GROUNDWATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT.

HOW IS THIS GOING TO WORK WITH THE GROUNDWATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT THAT'S CURRENTLY IN PLACE? WELL, THE, UH, GROUNDWATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT, UH, DOESN'T, UM, ADDRESS ANYTHING EXCEPT GROUNDWATER.

AND WE'RE LOOKING FOR ADDITIONAL SOURCES OF WATER.

UH, AND, AND WE'VE GOT COURT MEMBERS HERE.

BUT TO, TO GIVE YOU THE FINAL ANSWER ON THAT IS I'LL GIVE YOU THE FULL DETAILS WHEN WE COME BACK WITH THAT RESOLUTION.

UH, THE ASKING FOR SUPPORT.

BUT WHAT, WHAT, UH, EITHER ONE OF THESE WOULD DO IS HELP THE INDIVIDUAL WATER COMPANIES, THE WATER DISTRICTS WITH LOCATED WITHIN PARKER PALATO AND STEVENS COUNTY IN, IN DOING WHAT THEY NEED TO DO.

UH, FOR EXAMPLE, UM, WE HAVE A MUCH LARGER VOICE WITH A THREE TO FIVE COUNTY REGION THAN THEY DO AS AN INDIVIDUAL WATER COMPANY WHEN THEY GO TO EXAMPLE TO TEXAS WATER DEVELOPMENT BOARD AND ASK FOR A LOAN.

AND EVEN LARGER, IF YOU INCLUDE THE FOUR COUNTIES THAT ARE CURRENTLY UNDER THE GROUNDWATER CONSERVATION.

AND WE WILL ASK EVERYBODY THAT WANTS TO BE, TO BECOME A MEMBER.

IT'S, IT'S NOT EXCLUSIVE TO THESE THREE.

UH, BUT IT WILL PROBABLY START WITH THREE TO FIVE.

AND, UH, WITH, WITH THAT, UH, IMPACT, UH, STATEWIDE, THEN RATHER THAN, UH, ONE OF THESE SMALL ENTITIES ASKING FOR A DEAL, UH, ASKING FOR, UH, APPROVAL FOR A, A LOAN, FOR EXAMPLE, OR FOR A GRANT, THEN WE'RE, THEN WE'RE SPEAKING FOR A MUCH LARGER AREA.

AND WE HAVE MORE EXPERTISE IN DEALING WITH THOSE ENTITIES THAT PROVIDE THOSE FUNDS.

AND, UH, SO WE'RE JUST LOOKING TO HAVE A BIGGER IMPACT.

AND WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS HELP EACH OF THESE ENTITIES WORKING WITH UPPER TRINITY, BUT AGAIN, THEIR, THEIR FOCUS IS ONLY ON, UH, GROUNDWATER AND WE ARE LOOKING FOR OTHER SOURCES OF WATER OTHER THAN GROUNDWATER OR IN ADDITION TO.

DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? OKAY.

KIND OF A GLOBAL SOLUTION.

AND, AND SPECIFICALLY, UH, THIS IS NOT TRYING TO USURP ANYBODY'S AUTHORITY THAT CURRENTLY IS OPERATING.

SO THE WAY THEY'RE CURRENTLY OPERATING, WE ANTICIPATE THEY WILL CONTINUE TO OPERATE.

WE'RE NOT TRYING TO TAKE AUTHORITY AWAY FROM ANY ENTITY THAT ALREADY EXISTS, IS JUST TRYING TO ASSIST THEM WITH FINANCING.

BECAUSE ULTIMATELY THIS IS GONNA BE A VERY DIFFICULT TASK TO GET THE FINANCING NECESSARY TO PROVIDE THE WATER FOR PARKER COUNTY.

JUST GIVES US MORE, MORE OPTIONS, GIVES US MORE OPTIONS AND MORE OPPORTUNITIES.

COMMISSIONER, THANKS FOR ASKING THE QUESTION.

NANCY.

COMMISSIONER, WE'RE TAKING NO ACTION ON THIS RECOMMENDATIONS TODAY.

SO ANY ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS BEFORE WE MOVE ON? OKAY.

WE'LL TAKE NO ACTION ON ITEM H.

ADAM MAYO, AUTHORIZE CONSTABLE TO PERFORM TAX SALES ON BEHALF OF PARKER COUNTY PURSUANT TO TAX CODE CHAPTER 34, JOHN.

[5.I. Authorize constable to perform tax sales on behalf of Parker County pursuant to Tax Code Chapter 34. (John Forrest / Judge Deen)]

AND SPECIFICALLY UNDER THIS CODE, IT ALLOWS THE COMMISSIONERS TO DESIGNATE EITHER THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE TO PERFORM TAX SALES OR CONSTABLE.

AND AT THIS TIME, SINCE WE'VE HAD A TRANSFER OF THE INDIVIDUAL THAT USED TO PERFORM THESE TAX SALES, HE'S BEEN TRANSFERRED TO PRECINCT TWO.

UH, THEY'RE ASKING THAT WE GO AHEAD AND ALLOW HIM TO PERFORM THOSE TAX SALES.

SO AT THIS TIME, WE'D WANT THE COURT TO VOTE TO DESIGNATE THE CONSTABLE TO HAVE AUTHORITY TO PERFORM THESE TAX SALES.

IF WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER HOLT WITH THE SECOND BY COMMISSION WALDEN, ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? UH, I'VE GOT A DISCUSSION FURTHER.

MR. CONSTABLE? YES, SIR.

Y'ALL BEEN TAKING ON A LOT OF STUFF LATELY AND THIS, THIS IS SOME MORE, I GUESS, UH, THIS IS JUST, UM, THIS IS JUST TO FINALIZE WHAT WE TOOK THE LAST TIME.

CAN'T CONTINUING ON WHAT WE'VE ALREADY BEEN DONE.

EMPLOYEE, SIR.

JUST CONTINUING ON.

HE'S, THERE'S NOTHING CHANGING.

THIS IS JUST TO GET THE, THE FORMAL, UH, APPROVAL, UM, FROM WHEN WE SWITCHED OVER THE EMPLOYEE LAST TIME FROM THE SHERIFF RIGHT.

TO US WHO WAS ALREADY DOING THE TAX SALE.

IT'S JUST MOVING OFFICES.

THIS JUST PUTS IT ON THE AGENDA TO APPROVE.

ALL RIGHT.

THE ACTUAL SALE.

SO CHRIS WAS GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS.

CAN YOU KINDA DESCRIBE THE PROCESS, WHAT CHRIS WAS DOING? UM, AS FAR AS THE SALE? CORRECT.

UM, YES SIR.

HE JUST TAKES IN THE PAPERWORK FROM, UM, THE DIFFERENT ENTITIES THAT, THAT, UM, WHERE WE GET THE TAX SALE FROM AND THEN HE PERFORMS THE DUTIES AND THEN SELLS THE PROPERTY

[00:40:01]

ON THE COURTHOUSE STEPS.

SO IT'S JUST MOVING FROM THEIR OFFICE OVER TO OURS.

AND, AND LINEBARGER WILL WORK WITH HIM.

THEY, THEY WILL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH HIM.

THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH HIM, YES, CORRECT.

SAME, SAME EVERYTHING.

IT'S JUST MOVING IT FROM HERE TO HERE.

MARIANA, YOU GOT, WE'VE ALL BEEN WORKING WITH JOE WHEN WE'VE MET, UM, TO OPEN BANK ACCOUNTS AND PROCESS AND ALL OF THAT KIND OF STUFF BECAUSE THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE DID TAKE IN ALL THE FUNDS AND THEN DISTRIBUTE ALL THE TAX SALE PROCEEDS.

AND SO JUST IN WORKING WITH THE DIFFERENT ENTITIES TO KNOW TO, TO INFORM THEM ABOUT THE CHANGE AS WELL.

AND SO THAT WAY WE CAN BE PREPARED AND HIS OFFICE CAN BE PREPARED FOR THE NEXT TAX SELL.

WHICH WILL BE MARCH 7TH.

SOUNDS GOOD.

AND SO THAT WAS PART OF IT, WHICH IS JOHN IS TALKING ABOUT IN THE TAX CODE CHAPTER 34.

UM, IT SAYS THE TAXING UNIT PURCHASING THE PROPERTY BY RESOLUTION OF HIS GOVERNING BODY MAY REQUEST THE SHERIFF OR A CONSTABLE TO SELL THE PROPERTY AT A PUBLIC SELL.

SO JUST TO ENSURE, UM, BY STATUTE THAT UM, THAT FORMAL CHANGE WAS TAKEN PLACE BY RESOLUTION.

AND THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS NOTHING'S GOING TO CHANGE OTHER THAN THE FACT THAT WE'VE NOW DESIGNATED THE CONSTABLE.

SO ANYBODY GOING TO ONE OF THESE CELLS, THEY WON'T EVEN KNOW THE DIFFERENCE OTHER THAN THE FACT THAT THE CONSTABLE WILL PERFORMING THAT.

THANK YOU FOR EXPLAINING THAT.

WHEN AND WHERE THEY'RE ACTUALLY, UM, TAKING THEIR PAYMENT FOR, UM, THE PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY.

AND I THINK JOE HAS IS LOOKING INTO SOME ADDITIONAL OPTIONS THAT MIGHT INCREASE THE SALES AS WELL.

SO YOU WANNA TALK ABOUT THAT A LITTLE BIT? WE'VE LOOKED INTO, UM, DOING AN ONLINE SALE.

OTHER COUNTIES DO IT.

UM, WE'RE SUPPOSED TO SET UP A MEETING, UH, WITH PCA ON THAT.

UH, LET THEM LOOK AT IT, GO OVER IT.

IF IT WORKS FOR EVERYBODY, THEN WE CAN MAYBE TRY TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT.

AND IF IT DOESN'T WORK FOR EVERYBODY, THEN WE'LL CONTINUE HOW IT'S BEING DONE NOW.

YEAH, SOUNDS GOOD.

AND THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT WOULD GO TO COMMISSIONER'S COURT.

COMMISSIONER'S COURT WOULD HAVE TO APPROVE THAT.

AND THEN, UM, ONCE COMMISSIONER'S COURT APPROVES IT, I BELIEVE IT, UM, IT CAN'T BE IMPLEMENTED UNTIL 90 DAYS AFTER COMMISSIONER'S COURT APPROVAL.

AND THEN, UM, I THINK YOU, ONCE YOU ESTABLISH THOSE RULES AND EVERYTHING ELSE AFTER THOSE 90 DAYS, THAT WAY THE PUBLIC IS INFORMED OF THAT CHANGE, UM, TO ESTABLISH THOSE, UM, RULES AND PROCEDURES FOR AN ONLINE BILL.

ANYTHING ELSE? I'M ASK FOR A MOTION I BELIEVE ALREADY MADE.

I BELIEVE WE ALREADY HAVE.

YEAH, MOVED IT AT THE TOP.

WE HAVE A MOTION TO HAVE A SECOND.

IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR PASS FIVE.

GOOD

[5.J. Approve the Advance Funding Agreement for voluntary Local Government contributions to Transportation Improvements projects with no required match-on system between Texas Department of Transportation and Parker County for the IH20-IH20-30 Split and take any action the court deems necessaiy. (John Forrest / Judge Deen) (Part 1 of 2)]

ITEM J.

APPROVE THE ADVANCED FUNDING AGREEMENT FOR VOLUNTARY LOCAL GOVERNMENT CONTRIBUTIONS TO TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS PROJECTS WITH NO REQUIRED MATCH ON SYSTEM BETWEEN TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION AND PARKER COUNTY FOR THE INTERSTATE 20 AND INTERSTATE 2030 SPLIT AND TAKE ANY ACTION IN THE COURT DEEMS NECESSARY, JOHN.

AND THIS, UH, ADVANCED FUNDING WOULD ALLOW, UH, TECHO TO START THE PROCESS OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL, ALL OTHER STEPS THAT THEY WOULD NEED TO PROCEED WITH THE PROJECT THAT THEY'RE CURRENTLY LOOKING INTO.

SO THIS IS JUST, UH, THE BEGINNING STEPS OF THAT? ABSOLUTELY.

THAT'S, THAT'S A CONVERSATION.

UNDERSTOOD.

WE NEED TO GET THAT GOING.

YEAH, THAT'S GREAT.

YOU OUGHT HAS SOMETHING FOR US.

I JUST HAVE A QUESTION.

UM, SO I WAS COPIED ON THIS EMAIL AND IN THE BACK, UM, IT DOES SAY THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT WILL CONTRIBUTE A FIXED AMOUNT OF $518,840.

SO I'M NOT SURE WHERE THAT'S COMING FROM.

AND NORMALLY IT SAYS LIKE WHEN TEXT DO IS, UM, WHATEVER THEIR PORTION IS, IT NORMALLY HAS THAT IN HERE I'M NOT SEEING IT.

SO I JUST HAD THAT QUESTION AND WHERE THOSE FUNDS ARE COMING FROM.

WELL, I THINK IT COULD BE SOME OF THE FUNDS LEFT OVER FROM WHERE OUR SURPLUS IS CURRENTLY RIGHT NOW.

I MEAN THAT WOULD YEAH.

BE PROBABLY MY ASSUMPTION, BUT AGAIN, IT IS AND THAT'S WHERE IT WOULD BE.

SO WE NEED TO GO AHEAD AND DESIGNATE THAT CURRENTLY.

BUT IT NEEDS TO BE DISCUSSED AND I WANT TO ENSURE THAT COURT IS AWARE OF THAT.

AND THAT'S, IT'S A MOVING NOTE.

I MEAN, AND I KNOW WE HAVE NOT TALKED ABOUT THAT YET.

I KNOW, YOU KNOW, CHRIS HAS MENTIONED THAT AS WE'RE CLOSING, UM, PROJECTS OUT THAT THERE THERE IS SURPLUS, BUT AGAIN, THOSE, WE'VE NOT CLOSED OUT THOSE PROJECTS AND DESIGNATED SURPLUS HUNDRED, UH, 518,000 EIGHT HUNDRED AND FORTY FIVE HUNDRED EIGHTEEN WE ON IT'S A MOVIE NUMBER, BUT THE, THE, THE, THAT NUMBER'S WELL WITHIN THE RIGHT, BUT I THINK THE COURT NEEDS TO BE AWARE OF UNDERSTOOD WITH THIS THAT THEY'RE DESIGNATING THOSE FUNDS.

AND THEN I'M NOT SURE WHAT TECH STOCKS HONOR WOULD YOU WANT THAT TO BE CONTINGENT UPON? YES.

EXCESS FUNDS BEING AVAILABLE FROM PROJECTS, RIGHT? YES.

AND, AND I'M SURE THERE IS.

UM, I KNOW I HAVE, UM, A TRANSFER FROM THE OA, IT WAS FROM PASS THROUGH FUNDS FROM THE RICK WILLIAMSON RECEIVABLE.

I THINK, UM, THERE WAS THE THOUGHT

[00:45:01]

THAT THERE WAS GOING TO BE, UM, ADDITIONAL FUNDS NEEDED TO PURCHASE RIGHT AWAY, UM, FOR THIS.

SO I KNOW THAT THERE'S FUNDS DESIGNATED, BUT AGAIN, I JUST THINK IT NEEDS TO BE CLEAR THAT THE COURT KNOWS BY SIGNING THIS RIGHT, THEIR AND THAT MOTION NEEDS, THERE'S FUNDING THAT'S GONNA BE NEEDED.

THE MOTION NEEDS TO REFLECT THAT.

AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TEXT OP PORTION IS CUZ NORMALLY THESE AGREEMENTS, IT'S SHOWING WHAT, WHAT THE BUDGET IS FOR THIS AND WHAT TEXT.IS CONTRIBUTING.

AND I DIDN'T SEE THIS IN THERE.

ALL I SAW WAS WHAT THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT, AGAIN, I JUST GOT COPIED ON AN EMAIL.

WE'LL GET, WE'LL GET THAT AND WE'RE WORKING WITH THEM AND WE'LL GET WHAT THAT MATCHING IS.

AND I THINK IT'D BE GOOD IF WE TALKED ABOUT WHAT THE PROJECT IS.

UM, I'M, I'M, I'M READING THAT IT'S THE I 20 TO I 2030 SPLIT TO TARN COUNTY LINE.

RIGHT ON THE EASTERN PARKER COUNTY SIDE.

I ANTICIPATED THAT CHRIS BOSCO BE HERE TODAY, BUT I GUESS HE'S NOT.

AND I PROJECT, I BELIEVE, UM, KIM RECEIVED A PHONE CALL ABOUT IT NEEDING TO IT TO BE SIGNED AND SHE ASKED ME IF I KNEW ABOUT IT.

I DIDN'T.

AND SO SHE GOT A COPY OF THE AGREEMENT AND THAT'S I THINK HOW IT GOT ON THE AGENDA HERE TODAY.

BECAUSE IT NEEDED TO BE SIGNED.

WHAT? BY THE NOT RIGHT.

SO IF, UH, WE WANT, WE COULD, WHEN WE TAKE A RECESS, WE COULD PUT A CALL INTO CHRIS, SEE WHAT THE SENSE OF URGENCY IS ON THIS.

IF IT'S NOT URGENT, WE COULD TABLE IT.

WELL I THINK IT NEEDS TO BE SIGNED BEFORE THERE WAS THE NEXT COURT.

AND SO THAT'S WHY KIM REQUESTED COULD YOU SEND A COPY? AND THEN AGAIN, I WAS COPIED ON THE EMAIL CHAIN AND SO I SAW THE AMOUNT AND I, I'D ASK KIM IF SHE COULD, I DON'T THINK THAT THEY HAD RESPONDED.

UH, JUST CLARIFYING OUR LOCAL MATCH AND THEN I GUESS THE FUNDS FOR THE PROJECT.

JOHN, DID CHRIS GO DIRECTLY TO YOU ON THIS? HOW DID THIS GET I FIGURED HE PROBABLY SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

HE CAME TO ME, BUT YEAH, HE DIDN'T, DIDN'T COME TO MY OFFICE ON THIS.

UM, WE'LL GET THIS INFORMATION.

LET'S TAKE NO ACTION ON THIS.

WE'LL, WE'LL WORK ON THAT AND THEN COME BACK TO IT.

WELL, WE DON'T NEED TO TAKE NO ACTION.

I THINK WE SHOULD, LET ME REPHRASE THAT.

LET'S RECESS, LET'S, LET'S, WE'LL COME BACK TO THIS ITEM LATER IN THE COURT CUZ I THINK IT DOES NEED TO BE APPROVED TO NOT MISS IT, BUT NEED SOME PROBABLY CLARIFICATION.

ITEM K, DISCUSS AND TAKE ACTION ON REAL ESTATE TRANSACTION.

LET'S GO TO

[5.K. Discuss and take action on real estate transaction for property located at 801 Santa Fe Drive currently owned by City of Weatherford. (John Forrest / Judge Deen)]

WE'RE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 8 0 1 SANTA FE DRIVE, CURRENTLY OWNED BY CITY OF WEATHERFORD.

UM, SHOULD WE NOT, SHOULD THIS NOT BE AFTER THE, UH, ITEM L SINCE, SINCE THE CITY'S HERE WE COULD DISCUSS IT CURRENTLY.

UH, WE DO NEED TO TAKE THE ITEM L AFTER THE PLAT AGENDA SO WE CAN THEN GO VISIT THE FACILITY IF THE COURT WOULD CHOOSES TO DO SO.

SO WE COULD NOW HEAR FROM THE CITY IF YOU'D LIKE TO DO THAT.

GO AHEAD.

MEMBERS OF THE COURT, JAMES OAP.

SO, UH, OCTOBER OF 2022, THE CITY RECENTLY COMPLETED A, UH, PUBLIC SAFETY BUILDING WHERE WE COMBINED OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT, EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AND FIRE ADMINISTRATION.

AND WITH THAT WE VACATED A BUILDING AT 8 0 1 SANTA FE.

AND SO WE'VE JUST, UH, JUST SIMPLY WE BE, BEGAN SOME DISCUSSIONS ABOUT WHETHER THE COUNTY HAS ANY INTEREST IN THAT BUILDING ITSELF, WHICH WAS THE OLD POLICE STATION SITE.

AND SO I BELIEVE WE DO HAVE A TOUR SCHEDULED, UH, RIGHT AFTER THE, UH, AT THE BREAK.

SO BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

MORE TO COME.

WHAT YEAR WAS THAT BUILDING? WHAT WAS IT? WHEN WAS IT BUILT? HOW OLD IS IT? 1989.

89? YES, SIR.

CAN YOU REMIND US OF THE APPROXIMATE SQUARE FOOTAGE? 14,000 SQUARE FEET.

14,000.

AND ARE THERE ANY MAJOR ISSUES WITH THE BUILDING THAT YOU'RE AWARE OF AS FAR AS NEEDED UPGRADES SUCH AS FOR SEWER OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT? NO, WE, WE'VE DONE A CONDITION ASSESSMENT OF THE BUILDING AND THE, THE ONLY TWO THINGS, UH, THAT, THAT ARE IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT, WHICH WE'RE UNDERTAKING RIGHT NOW IS REPLACING OF A CO COUPLE AIR CONDITIONING UNITS.

SO THE BUILDING WAS COMPLETELY FUNCTIONAL.

JUST, UH, WE OUTGREW THAT BUILDING WITH A, WITH SOME SPACE NEEDS, WHICH WAS JUST THE REASON WE, UH, BUILT A NEW BUILDING AND COMBINED ALL THOSE OPERATIONS.

OTHERWISE WE'D STILL BE UTILIZED IN THE BUILDING.

THE VERY TAIL END OF THIS AND ADJOURN THE MEETING ON SITE.

HOW MANY AIR CONDITIONERS ARE THERE? YOU SAY A COUPLE.

SO DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY THERE ARE? I DO.

THERE'S, THERE'S FOUR TOTAL AIR CONDITIONER, AIR CONDITIONERS, AND SO WE HAD A CONDITION ASSESSMENT ON THOSE AND I I WE CAN PROVIDE THAT TO THE COURT.

UM, AND THEY BASICALLY RATED THOSE ON A SCALE OF ONE THROUGH 10? YEAH, I THINK SO.

WE, WE JUST NEED TO DO THE TOUR AND I THINK FIRST DO AN ASSESSMENT WHETHER ON A NEEDS BASIS BEFORE WE REALLY GO INTO THE OVERALL SCOPE OF THE CONDITION.

UH, I MEAN, I THINK, BUT THERE'S MORE TO COME WITH THAT.

YEAH, SURE.

ALL RIGHT.

WELL WE APPRECIATE WHAT YOU, THANK YOU, SIR.

THANK YOU JAMES, SIR.

APPRECIATE IT.

OKAY, WE'LL TAKE NO ACTION ON ITEM K AND ON ITEM L, UM, WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO IS ASK THE COURT IF WE COULD TRY TO GET THROUGH THE AGENDA AND THEN HAVE THIS AT THE, AT

[00:50:01]

UH, WOULD THE COURT BE OPEN TO THAT OR YOU WANT TO DO WE WANT TO ADJOURN AND DO THIS CAUSE WE'RE GONNA COME RIGHT BACK AND, UH, WE SAW OUR PLANNING TO DO AND WOULD LIKE TO TRY TO, WE HAVE A VERY SHORT LIST OF PLAS TO TRY TO GO AHEAD AND GET THROUGH THE AGENDA.

WHAT'S THE COURT WANNA DO WITH THIS? I SUGGEST THAT WE, UH, GO THROUGH THE AGENDA AND THEN TAKE THE TOUR AT THE END.

I AGREE.

OKAY, VERY GOOD.

WE'LL TAKE NO ACTION THEN.

ON ITEM L WE'LL GO TO ITEM ITEM

[5.M. Discuss and take action on lease of property located at 118 West Columbia to the Department of Public Safety. (John Forrest / Judge Deen]

DISCUSSION, TAKE ACTION ON LISA PROPERTY, LOCATED AT ONE 18 WEST COLUMBIA TO THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY.

AND I'LL GO AHEAD AND TALK ON THAT.

UH, WE HAD THE OLD BUILDING AT ONE 18 WEST COLUMBIA.

THE FRONT END IS NOT BEING UTILIZED, THE BACK END IS BEING UTILIZED BY RED CROSS.

CURRENTLY, UH, DPS IS GROWING, SO THEY WOULD LIKE TO HAVE ADDITIONAL SPACE IF IT IS HABITABLE, YOU KNOW THAT, THAT'S GONNA BE THE MAIN QUESTION IN WHAT THE, MAKE SURE IT'S NOT COST, COST PROHIBITIVE AS WELL BECAUSE, UH, THERE WOULD BE A FEW REPAIRS WOULD'VE TO BE MADE.

ADDITIONALLY, WE NEED THE ADDITIONAL SPACE OVER THERE WHERE THE JP OFFICE IS THAT WOULD ALLOW THEM TO EXPAND OUT.

BUT IT'S JUST SOMETHING TO EXPLORE.

THEY'RE NOT HERE TODAY SO THAT, SO WE TAKE NO ACTION ON IT, BUT I JUST WANTED TO KIND OF GIVE AN OVERVIEW OF WHAT THE DISCUSSION WILL BE ON THE NEXT AGENDA.

ARE THEY WILLING TO MOVE IN THERE AS IS OR DOES IT HAVE TO HAVE SOMETHING DONE BEFORE THEY CAN MOVE IN THERE? IS THAT A MR. LONG QUESTION? THAT IS A MR. LONG QUESTION.

AND THAT GOES BACK TO THE HABITABLE ISSUE IF YEAH, I HEARD YOU SAY HABITABLE .

I, UH, MET WITH SERGEANT GARCIA LAST WEEK OVER THERE.

UM, WE'VE GOT A NEW LEAK IN THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING, UM, WITH, WITH HIS WISHLIST.

SERGEANT GARS SEE US WISHLIST, IT'LL, IT'LL COST A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS.

THAT'S HIS WISHLIST.

THINK TO COMMISSIONER HILL'S QUESTION IS WHETHER THE COMPANY OR WHOEVER WE'RE LEASE SUBLEASES, IT'S NOT, NOT TRIPLE NO, IT'S IT'S NOT TRUE.

SO BACKING UP FROM THAT WISHLIST, IF IT JUST TO MAKE IT HABITABLE WHERE THEY COULD GO IN, WHAT WOULD THE COST BE? UM, 15, MAYBE 10 OR 15 JUST TO GET IT.

THE ROOF FIXED.

THE ROOF LEAKS FIXED.

SO WHAT DOES HE WANT DONE THAT'S GONNA COST A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS? REMOVE WALLS, YOU KNOW, TO MAKE, MAKE SOME OF THOSE OFFICE SMALLER OFFICE SPACES.

REMOVE THOSE WALLS, MAKE IT BIG OPENING UP FRONT.

REMOVE THE TREE, PART OF THE TREE THAT'S GROWING INTO THE BUILDING, YOU KNOW, IN, IN, IN THE CENTER OF THE BUILDING.

OH YEAH.

UH, YOU KNOW, YOU HIRE A CRANE THAT'S GOTTA BE DONE.

IF WE KEEP, YOU KNOW, WE MOVE IN THERE, BUT THAT, YOU KNOW, HIRING A CRANE, THAT BIG'S GONNA COST YOU SIX, $7,000 ONLY FOR THE CRANK.

ARE WE OBLIGATED TO HAVE A PLACE FOR DPS? UH, WE ARE NOT.

WE, WE LEASE TO THEM.

WELL, BUT THE TREE'S GOTTA BE DEALT WITH.

I MEAN IT'S GROWNING INSIDE THE BUILDING.

I MEAN, BUT OUTSIDE OF THAT, I THINK THERE'S, THE WISH LIST WILL BE THINGS THAT WOULD NEED TO BE ACCOMMODATED EITHER AS A PARTNERSHIP.

WELL ULTIMATELY THROUGH THEM THAT BUILDING NEEDS TO BE TORE DOWN IS MY OPINION.

THAT IS MY OPINION AS WELL.

BUT ONE THING, WE, WE DON'T REALLY WANT TO PUT ANYBODY IN THERE UNTIL WE GET THAT ASBESTOS, UH, CERTIFICATE, FREE CERTIFICATE FOR THAT BUILDING.

THE, WE HAD A MOLD TEST DONE AND THE, THE BLACK MOLD TEST WAS SLIGHTLY ELEVATED ABOVE THE RECOMMENDATION.

NOT, NOT ENOUGH TO REALLY GET OUTTA SORTS ABOUT, BUT IT WAS ABOVE THE RECOMMENDATION.

WHO'S IN THE BUILDING NOW? AMERICAN RED CROSS ON THE, UH, NORTH.

DOES THAT POSE A THREAT TO THEM ON, ON THE, THEIR QUALITY I GUESS? YEAH, IT, NO, IT WASN'T ON THAT END.

WELL WE SPENT SIX YEARS IN THERE, SO WITHOUT THE ASBESTOS TEST.

BUT GOING BACK TO D PS, UH, WELL NOW I KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU.

YEAH, THAT MAY BE IT.

THAT MAY BE IT.

THEY'RE GOING BACK TO DPS.

THEY, THEY'RE, THEY'RE PERFECTLY HAPPY WHERE THEY ARE.

SO IF THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN, THEY, THEY, THEY'RE NOT REAL CONCERNED.

IT JUST WAS AN IDEA BECAUSE THE OPEN UP SPACE FOR KELLY GREEN AND HIS, HIS DEPARTMENT, CUZ THEY'RE KIND OF PACKED IN THERE.

WELL, I THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA, BUT I DON'T LIKE NOT AT A HUNDRED THOUSAND.

NOT AT A HUNDRED THOUSAND.

WHY DON'T WE, UH, ALLOW SOME MORE TIME TO, WELL, TO DO SOME MORE INVESTIGATION AND WE'LL TAKE NO ACTION ON THIS.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH HONOR.

JOHN, I HAD A QUESTION REGARDING OUR LEASE AGREEMENT ON THIS BUILDING OR OUR LEASE AGREEMENTS.

ARE THOSE USUALLY THE MAINTENANCE AND UPKEEP ON THE TENANT LIKE A TRIPLE NET LEASE? NO, THEY'RE NOT.

THEY'RE NOT TRIPLE NET AND BASICALLY WHEN WE LEASE TO AN ENTITY, IT'S BECAUSE THEY PROVIDE A PUBLIC SERVICE.

MM-HMM.

AND SO WE'RE NOT JUST LEASING TO SUBWAY TO COME IN AND SELL SANDWICH.

WE'RE SELLING TO ANOTHER ENTITY THAT'S PROVIDING A PUBLIC SERVICE.

SO THEY'RE DISCOUNTED AND OBVIOUSLY IT'S GONNA BE UNA AVAILABILITY.

IF WE DON'T HAVE THE AVAILABILITY TO PROVIDE SPACE BECAUSE WE NEED IT, THEN THEY'RE NOT GONNA BE IN OUR, OUR STRUCTURES.

BUT I

[00:55:01]

IT'S WHOEVER IT IS, WHETHER THEY'RE PROVIDING A SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY OR NOT, WHAT IS OUR OBLIGATION? WHERE DOES THAT BEGIN AND END? I GUESS THAT THAT WOULD BE KIND OF A SEGUE AFTER THAT.

AND ONCE AGAIN, IT, IT GOES BACK TO WE WORK WITH OUR PUBLIC ENTITIES, SO TO THE EXTENT THAT WE CAN, WE'RE GOING TO, IF WE DON'T HAVE THAT AVAILABILITY, THEN OBVIOUSLY WE'RE NOT GOING TO GO PURCHASE A BUILDING FOR THEM.

UNDERSTOOD.

UM, THEY DID DO SOME, I GUESS, PULLED DATA FROM A LOCAL, UH, FROM MS. JAMES LINLEY.

UM, THAT'S SURROUNDING WATER WELLS WERE

[01:05:01]

AND, AND JAMIE, IF I CAN ADD SOME COMMENTARY ON THIS.

SO HISTORICALLY WE HAVE BEEN WAIVING AS A COURT THE GROUNDWATER STUDIES, WHICH IS WHY ON A LOT OF OUR PLATS IT SAYS, ACCORDING TO LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE 2 32, BASICALLY BUYER CHECK WITH DEVELOPER.

UM, I DON'T WANNA SPEAK FOR THE OTHER PRECINCTS, BUT WHEN PER DOUG SHAW THE OPPORTUNITY GROUNDWATER CONSERVATION DIRECTOR, HE HAS MADE THE RECOMMENDATION, AT LEAST FOR PRECINCT TWO AND I THINK FOR ALL THE OTHER PRECINCTS, BUT I'LL LEAVE THAT UP TO Y'ALL TO TALK TO HIM, THAT, THAT NO LONGER BE WAIVED.

SO WHAT I'VE DECIDED IS FOR DEVELOPERS COMING IN THAT ARE STARTING A NEW PROJECT, THEY WILL GO AHEAD AND DO THAT GROUNDWATER CONSERVATION STU OR THE, THE GROUNDWATER STUDY EVERY SINGLE TIME BARRING SOMETHING THAT'S SMALL ENOUGH THAT IT DOESN'T MEET THE REQUIREMENTS.

SO FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU'VE GOT A FIVE ACRE TRACT AND YOU'RE SPLITTING IN HALF, WE DON'T NEED TO DO IT FOR THAT.

UM, BUT FOR THESE LARGER DEVELOPMENTS, I'M GOING TO REQUEST THAT DEVELOPERS DO THAT GOING FORWARD PER MR. SHAW'S RECOMMENDATION.

THAT BEING SAID, SEDONA CREEK GOT STARTED IN THIS PROCESS, I WANNA SAY EARLY FALL, I BELIEVE.

AND SO I DON'T FEEL LIKE IT'S, UH, APPROPRIATE OF ME TO THROW A WRENCH IN SOMETHING THAT WAS NEVER COMMUNICATED TO HIM IN THE FIRST PLACE, WHICH IS WHY THIS IS ON HERE.

SO THAT'S WHY I'M MAKING THE MOTION TO APPROVE THE WAIVER MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER HOLTZ.

ALL RIGHT.

DO WE HAVE A SECOND COMMISSION? WALDENS MADE THE SECOND.

HE HAD A DISCUSSION ON ABOUT HALF OF YOUR PRECINCT NEEDS TO HAVE THAT STUDY DONE.

AND I'M, UH, I'M NOT AS SMART WHEN IT COMES TO WATER AS MR. SHAW.

MR. SHAW SAID DO IT FOR ALL.

SO I'M GONNA DO IT FROM ALL.

YEAH, THAT'S FINE.

I DON'T WE'RE SEDONA CREEK, UH, SEDONAS OFF OF, UH, NOT LAMBKIN.

IT'S UH, I FORGET THE NAME OF THE CROSS STREET, BUT IT'S NORTH OF PEACHER.

NORTHWEST OF PESTER BY A LITTLE BIT NORTHWEST.

BUT YOU SAID THE WATER, WELL THEY, THEY HAD ONE THAT WAS DOING 15 GALLONS OF MATTER.

UH, YES SIR.

THEY HAVE ONE EXISTING, WELL IT WAS DOING 15 TO 20.

GPM.

YEAH, HE'S GOT ACTUALLY A DECENT AMOUNT OF DATA THAT HE SENT ACROSS THAT ACCOMPLISHES PRETTY, IT WAS PROBABLY A GOOD IDEA TO DO THE HOPE PRECINCT.

YEAH, I'M SAME TO YOU.

WELL, I'D SUGGEST THAT WE WOULD, UH, HAVE MR. SHAW AS AN AGENDA ITEM CUZ WE'VE DISCUSSED THIS PREVIOUSLY.

AND UH, THE INFORMATION THAT HE SHARED WITH US, WITH US AT THAT TIME WAS IF HE, HE WOULD REVIEW THE PLATS AND IF HE THOUGHT THERE WAS A PROBLEM, HE WOULD NOTIFY US.

BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT WE'RE HEARING NOW.

SO I WOULD SUGGEST THAT WE HAVE HIM HERE TO HAVE DISCUSSIONS ON THAT ITEM.

SAID SOME TIME OF FUTURE.

VERY GOOD.

HOW, HOW LARGE OF A DEVELOPMENT IS THIS? IT'S, THIS IS 32 ACRES.

SO IT'S ACTUALLY THE NEXT ITEM ON THERE AS WELL.

OH, I'M SORRY.

PROBABLY ABOUT 16 LOTS.

I SEE IT NOW.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THE PAPER? THE, THE, I HAVE A QUESTION.

THAT DATA THAT, THAT ON THE WELLS E SUBMITTED, IS THAT DATED WHEN THEY PRODUCE THAT MUCH WATER? UH, YES SIR.

UH, BECAUSE HE ALSO SUBMITTED THIS DATA TO DOUG SHAW.

I WAS GONNA BE, UH, FEBRUARY 13TH OF THIS YEAR.

SO I'M NOT SURE IF THAT WAS THE DATE THAT THE EMAIL WAS SENT.

I'M NOT SURE EXACTLY.

I DIDN'T PRINT THE EMAIL SHOWING WHERE THEY PULLED THE DATA.

SO, SO MY CONCERN IS, IS WHEN WAS THAT WATER WELL DRILLED AND THE DAY JUST PULLED THAT AND IT WAS DRILLED 20 YEARS AGO AND THAT WAS THE WATER IT PRODUCED THEN UH, THIS LAND HAS, UH, THIS LAND ACTUALLY ABUTS JUDGE GREEN'S LAND, WHICH THERE WAS SOME DISCREPANCY ON THE, UM, PINPOINTS ON THIS.

SO I THINK THE JUDGE SAID HE'D BEEN OUT THERE FOR 20 YEARS AND THIS LOT WAS ALL, WELL I KNOW THAT AREA PRETTY WELL AND THERE'S NOT A PROBLEM WITH WATER IN THAT AREA.

THAT'S WHY I ASKED WHERE IT WAS AT.

IT'S OFF OF PINE ROAD.

SO COMMISSIONER HALE, THERE'S UH, A NUMBER OF REPORTS THAT HE SENT ACROSS THESE WELLS HAVE BEEN DRILLED ANYWHERE BETWEEN 2004 TO AS RECENTLY AS 2021.

A YIELD OF 20 G P M SO APPEARS TO BE A AT THAT POINT YES SIR.

AND SO THAT'S THE KIND OF THE RANGE OF, UH, SO FOR EXAMPLE, THIS 2021 WELL HAD

[01:10:01]

AUGUST OF 2021.

THAT I WAS JUST WANTING SOME CLARIFICATION IN WHAT WAS BEING SUBMITTED.

SO THANK YOU FOR THAT.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR PASS.

ITEM THREE APPROVED THE FINAL PLATFORM SUBDIVISION BE KNOWN AS SEDONA CREEK CONSISTING OF 32.676 ACRES DEVELOPED BY MATT LAWRIE AND SEDONA DEVELOPMENT LLC LOCATED OFF OF PINE ROAD IN WIL WATER AND PRECINCT TWO.

THIS SUBDIVISION IS GONNA HAVE 16 LOTS.

THEY RANGE IN SIZE FROM TWO ACRES TO 2.34 ACRES.

THEY ARE GONNA BE PUTTING IN A ROAD THAT WILL BE A PRIVATELY MAINTAINED ROAD TO BE KNOWN AS SEDONA CREEK PORT.

AND THEY DO HAVE THEIR ORIGINAL FRONTAGE OFF OF PINE ROAD AND WELL WATER IS GONNA BE THEIR WATER SOURCE.

ALRIGHT, COUNSELOR, ARE ALL DOCUMENTS IN ORDER? THE DEVELOPER HAS PROVIDED A TECH CERTIFICATE INDICATING A ZERO BALANCE HEALTH DEPARTMENT HAS APPROVED PRIVATE WATER AND PRIVATE WASTE DISPOSAL, AND THEY HAVE MET ALL OTHER LEGAL REQUIREMENTS.

THE HOLD HOLDUP, THEY HAD A, A PROPERTY LINE DISPUTE.

MM-HMM.

AND SO THAT HAS BEEN RESOLVED AS WELL.

ONE, PRECINCT FOUR, APPROVE THE FINAL REVISION PROCESS FOR SUBDIVISION KNOWN AS LAW MA LA MADE PHASE THREE DEVELOPED BY ALEX CURY LOCATED OFF OF BRAZOS COURT WITH THE WATER AND PRECINCT FOUR.

MAKE THE MOTION TO APPROVE.

MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER HOLT, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN.

THE APPROVE THE DISCUSSION.

ALL IN FAVOR PASS FIVE.

OH, WE'LL GO TO ITEM D

[8.D. PRECINCT 4]

IT IS A PUBLIC HEARING.

THIS WAS A COMBINATION OF LOTS 13 AND 14 FOR A TOTAL OF 4.534 ACRES.

UH, WE DID RUN ADS IN THE PAPER BUT DID NOT SEND OUT CERTIFIED LETTERS BECAUSE IT WAS A COMBINATION.

AND UH, THEY ALSO, THEY HAVE ROAD FRONTAGE OFF OF RA'S COURT AND WELL, WATER IS THERE.

WATER SOURCE.

SORRY.

MULTITASKING HERE.

UH, WE'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 10 50.

IS THERE ANYBODY HERE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON ITEM D ONE PRECINCT? FOUR.

WE'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

WE'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 10 50.

WE'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 10 50.

UH, GIVEN, UH, NO ONE HAS SPOKE UP AND WE'LL GO TO THE ITEM FROM ME.

COUNSEL, EVERYTHING GOOD AND PROPER NOTICE WAS PLACED IN NEWSPAPER LESS THAN THE DATE, TIME, LOCATION, PURPOSE OF TODAY'S HEARING, THE DEVELOPER HAS PROVIDED A TAX CERTIFICATE INDICATING A ZERO BALANCE HEALTH DEPARTMENT HAS APPROVED PRIVATE WATER AND PRIVATE WASTE DISPOSAL AS HAVE BEEN PREVIOUSLY APPROVED ON THE ORIGINAL PLAT AND ALL OTHER LEGAL REQUIREMENTS HAVE BEEN MET.

J ON APPROVING THE EVENTS FUNDING AGREEMENT FOR VOLUNTARY LOCAL GOVERNMENT CONTRIBUTIONS, TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS WITH NO REQUIRED MATCH ON SYSTEM BETWEEN TECH TEXT DOT AND PARKER COUNTY FOR THE IH 20 20 30 SPLIT AND TAKE ACTION AS DEEMED COURT DEEMS NECESSARY IN THIS, UH, AGREEMENT.

I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE.

SECOND, WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER HILL, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER CONLEY.

IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR PASS FIVE.

OH, OKAY.

WE'LL GO BACK.

JOHN, I TAKE IT THAT YOU HAVE A, A RESPONSE.

UH, LET ME, LET ME OPEN IT BACK UP.

HOLD ON ONE SECOND AND WE'LL GO BACK TO, UH, GET THERE.

ITEM FIVE

WHAT THE PURPOSE IS, IT WOULD BE A SPLIT BETWEEN PARKER AND TARRANT.

IT WAS TO ALLOW FOR DECORATIVE, UH, LIGHTS, ADDITIONAL DECORATIVE, UH, I GUESS SIGNAL SIGNALIZATION.

I'M TRYING TO THINK OF EXACTLY HOW CHRIS PUT THAT, BUT IT'S, IT'S GOTTA BE SIGNALIZATION THERE.

IT'S BASICALLY TO UPGRADE FROM WHAT NORMALLY WOULD BE PLACED IN BY TECH DOT.

SO THE ADDITIONAL COST.

AND APPARENTLY THERE WAS A MEETING THAT THERE WAS AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN TARRANT COUNTY AND PARKER, WHERE WE ASSUMED HALF OF THAT COST AND THEN TERRENCE WAS GONNA ASSUME HALF OF THAT COST.

WHEN WAS THAT MEETING? WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ONE I ATTENDED.

I'M NOT AWARE OF ANY MEETING.

THE, THE NICE THING IS CHRIS SAID THAT WE DO HAVE NOW TILL THE 13TH TO TAKE ACTION ON THIS SO WE COULD PLACE IT ON THE NEXT ITEM OR NEXT.

I I WOULD PREFER TO DO THAT, TO GET MORE UNDERSTANDING ABOUT THIS.

WE, WE, WE HAVE THE NUMBERS ON IT AND SO DO I ASSUME THAT WE'RE A SPLIT OF THAT, THAT NUMBER? IT'S HALF THE COST IN THEIR, WITH TARRAN COUNTY.

SO IT'S,

[01:15:01]

IT'S HALF THE COST OF THAT SIGNAL OR THE SIGNALIZATION OF WHAT THEY'RE REFERENCING.

IT'S DECORATIVE SIGNALIZATION.

IT, IT, I DON'T THINK WE WOULD INCUR THE COST WITHOUT THE UPGRADE ON I NEED TO UNDERSTAND THIS BETTER.

WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THIS BETTER.

WE, THIS SIGNAL BE, IT'S GOTTA BE IN THAT WALSH RANCH AREA.

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT IT IS.

I'M GONNA SUGGEST THAT WE, UH, BRING THIS BACK TO THE NEXT COURT WITH MORE INFORMATION SINCE WE HAVE TIME TO DO SO.

WE HAVE TO DO THAT.

YEP.

WE WILL, CAN CAN I ASK JUST FOR OUR SAKE THAT WE GET A FULL DESCRIPTION OF EXACTLY WHAT THIS IS DOING? CAUSE OH WE WILL.

WHEN I HEAR DECORATIVE AND $518,000, THAT'S PROBABLY NOT THE BEST COMBINATION.

IT'S, IT'S, IT'S GOTTA I'M GONNA FOLLOW, WE'LL FOLLOW WHAT, UH, COMMISSIONER WALDEN'S RECOMMENDATION IS, BUT JUST TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, WHAT WE'LL COME BACK WITH IS AN UNDERSTANDING OF WHERE SPECIFICS TO THE, THE, UH, THE SIGNALIZATION AND ALSO RELATIVE TO THE DECORATIVE OF HOW, WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE AND GET A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THAT BECAUSE, UH, I'M NOT AWARE OF THIS.

I, I, I WAS AWARE OF WHAT WE'RE DOING AND THAT, BUT SPECIFIC TO THIS, WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND IT BETTER.

SO WE'LL COME BACK WITH THAT AND TAKE NO ACTION TODAY.

COULD COULD I ADD ONE POINT? I I WOULD LIKE, OBVIOUSLY WE NEED AN OUTLINE OF THE SCOPE OF WORK HERE AND WHERE IT IS BEING DONE.

BECAUSE I AT WALSH RANCH, THERE'S A LOT IN TARRANT COUNTY AND A LOT ON OUR SIDE AND IF THE MAJORITY OF THE WORK'S GETTING DONE ON THEIR SIDE OF THE LINE AND, AND WE'RE EXPECTED TO HOLD HALF OF THAT, BUT I DON'T KNOW.

WE NEED TO, WE NEED A BETTER DETAIL OF THE SCOPE OF THIS PROJECT.

WE'LL, WE'LL BE VERY THOROUGH WITH THAT COMMISSIONER.

VERY GOOD, THANK YOU.

OKAY, WE'RE GONNA, WE'LL GIVE ME A CHANCE TO MESS UP FIRST, UH, WE'RE GONNA RECESS THE SAME THING COUNSELOR.

IS THERE A WAY THAT WE CAN, I'M EXTENDED.

IS THERE A WAY THAT WE CAN DO THIS WITHOUT HAVING TO COME BACK UP HERE? YES, WE'RE GOING, WE'RE GOING.

WE CAN ADJOURN.

WE'RE GONNA ADJOURN THERE.

THERE? YES.

OKAY, WE'RE GONNA RECESS THIS.
