[00:00:01]
OF THE PROJECTS, UH, THAT WE HAVE LISTED, UH, FOR EACH PRECINCT.SO THIS KIND OF GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF, SO STARTING WITH PRECINCT ONE, THE DIFFERENT COLLECTION OF PROJECTS.
UH, YOU KNOW, UH, ONE THING TO NOTE, YOU KNOW, THERE'S, UH, THE PROJECTS THAT ARE KIND OF HIGHLIGHTED IN, UH, THE DARK, UM, BLUE NUMBER THAT, THAT REPRESENTS PROJECTS WE'RE KIND OF SEEING AS A, A PARTNERSHIP WITH, WITH TECH STOCK.
UH, WHEREAS WE HAVE THE, THE ONES THAT ARE KIND OF NUMBERED, UM, AROUND IN THE ORANGE THERE IS, IS DIFFERENT PROJECTS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY.
CAN YOU READ THOSE OFF? UM, OH, THE, THE NUMBER, I DON'T HAVE ALL THE NAMES RIGHT ON, PER SE, BUT, UM, LET, I'LL GO THROUGH THESE AND THEN, UM, YOU KNOW, IF THERE'S QUESTIONS ABOUT A SPECIFIC PROJECT, THEN, THEN WE CAN COME BACK.
UH, SO ONE THING TO NOTE, UH, JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, RIGHT NOW I'M SHOWING EVERY PROJECT, SO DEPENDING ON THE SIZE OF BOND, WE CAN, UH, KIND OF REFINE, UH, THE FINAL PROJECT LIST.
BUT THIS IS JUST THE STATUS OF WHERE, UH, INCLUDING ALL THE PROJECTS, AND JUST TO YOUR POINT, UH, THERE WILL BE JUST AN AMPLE OF SUPPLY OF TOWN HALL MEETINGS THAT WILL GO SPECIFICALLY TO EACH ONE OF THESE, THESE, AND, UH, FOR EACH PRECINCT, EVERY SINGLE ONE, A COST ASSESSMENT, UH, AND, AND JUST GIVE A FULL DISCLOSURE OF EVERY, EVERYTHING ABOUT THAT, WHAT THE COST IS GONNA BE, WHAT'S GONNA IMPACT THE TAX RATE AND EVERYTHING.
SO YOU'LL, YOU'LL HAVE THAT, THIS IS THE PRELIMINARY INTRODUCTION TO, TO THAT.
SO, YEAH, WE'LL, WE'LL GET THAT TO YOU.
UH, SO PRECINCT TWO, YOU'LL SEE THE COLLECTION OF PROJECTS, UH, INCLUDING SEVERAL INTERSECTION SAFETY PROJECTS, UM, DIFFERENT, UH, LIKE WIDENING OAK RIDGE IS ONE THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IN THE PAST.
UH, AND THAT, THAT COLLECTION OF PROJECTS FOR PRECINCT TWO.
SO, UH, YOU KNOW, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IN THE PAST OF, UH, SEVERAL IMPROVEMENTS ALONG I 20, INCLUDING, YOU KNOW, FRONTAGE ROADS, RAMPS THAT ACTUALLY RESIDES IN PRECINCT THREE, UH, CURRENTLY.
AND THEN YOU'LL SEE THERE TOO, AS, AS ONE OF THE PROJECTS WOULD BE, UH, CONSIDERATION OF WIDENING RICK WILLIAMSON FROM 180 TO I 20 AS AS ANOTHER PROJECT IN, UH, PRECINCT THREE.
AND THEN PRECINCT FOUR, UH, HAS A NUMBER OF PROJECTS.
YOU'LL SEE THE, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IN, IN PAST COURTS, THE, THE BANKHEAD BRIDGE, UH, AS A PARTNERSHIP WITH WILLOW PARK, UH, A WIDENING OF OLD BANKHEAD.
UH, YOU'LL SEE THERE ALSO A, UH, PROJECT FOR LOOKING AT A PARTNERSHIP WITH TECH STOCK TO WIDEN 1187.
UH, THERE'S ALSO OLD WEATHERFORD ROAD IS ONE THAT, UH, WE'RE ACTIVELY WORKING ON, UH, THERE IN, IN PRECINCT FOUR.
THAT'S, UH, PLANTED A BID AT THE END OF THE YEAR, UH, BUT SEVERAL KIND OF KEY, UH, WIDENING PROJECTS IN PRECINCT FOUR.
SO, UM, THE NEXT SLIDES, I KIND OF DID A, BY THE NUMBERS, YOU KNOW, IT JUST THOUGHT IT WOULD PRESENT WELL INSTEAD OF SHOWING LIKE A DETAILED LIST.
SO WHAT, UH, WHAT I THOUGHT I'D DO IS KIND OF GO THROUGH A SERIES OF NUMBERS SO Y'ALL CAN KIND OF SEE HOW THE PROGRAM IS, UH, DEVELOPING.
SO, SO THIS RIGHT HERE, THE 145 WOULD REPRESENT WHAT THE SIZE OF THE BOND IS TODAY.
AND KEEP IN MIND, I HAVE NOT REMOVED ANY PROJECTS, AND THIS IS VERY TYPICAL OF THE WAY WE'VE DONE PAST BOND PROGRAMS IN THAT YOU OFTEN HAVE MORE PROJECTS THAN, THAN YOU'RE, YOU'RE ULTIMATELY GOING TO FUND.
AND SO AT THIS POINT, ALL THE PROJECTS ARE INCLUDED.
SO, UH, THE, THOSE PRECINCT PROJECTS THAT YOU SEE, SO THIS COULD BE PROJECTS THAT ARE, UH, IN A CITY OR, UH, A COUNTY PROJECT IS 113 MILLION.
UH, WE HAVE THE 15 MILLION OF COUNTY DISCRETIONARY THAT, THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IN PAST MEETINGS.
AND THEN CURRENTLY WE'RE AT 17 MILLION AS, UH, AN ALLOCATION TO PARTNER WITH TECH OP.
AND THIS NEXT SLIDE WOULD SHOW YOU.
UH, SO TALKING ABOUT THAT 17 MILLION IS, UH, WHEN WE LOOK AT ALL THE PROJECTS.
SO THAT WOULD BE THE, UH, THE PROJECTS ALONG I 20, UH, FM 1187, EXTENSION OF SEVEN 30, THESE PROJECTS THAT ARE ON SYSTEM, UH, LOOKING TO, UH, TRY TO PARTNER FOR AN ADDITIONAL 122 MILLION, UH, THAT WOULD BE PARTNERSHIPS WITH COG AND TECH STOCK.
UH, THIS IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE LAST TWO PROGRAMS. UH, YOU'LL SEE THAT 12%, UH, WE ACTUALLY WERE LIKE 12.3% COMBINED IN THE LAST TWO PROGRAMS AND HOW MUCH WE INVESTED VERSUS LEVERAGED.
[00:05:01]
UH, SO VERY GOOD LEVERAGE, UH, WITH THOSE PARTNERSHIPS AND LOOKING TO DO THE SAME THING, UH, WITH THIS PROGRAM.I WAS, YOU KNOW, AS WE GO THROUGH THIS, WE'RE JUST COLLECTING THE BEST LIST OF PROJECTS.
I WAS ACTUALLY PLEASANTLY SURPRISED AT KIND OF THE BALANCE HERE.
UH, SO IF YOU LOOK AT THE TYPE OF PROJECTS, SO WE HAVE 10 SAFETY PROJECTS, UH, WITH A WOULD BE AN INVESTMENT OF 24 MILLION, UH, NINE NEW ROADWAY EXTENSIONS.
SO THIS WOULD BE A, A, YOU KNOW, AREA WHERE WE DON'T HAVE A ROAD, UH, YOU KNOW, EXTENSION OF CHURCH WOULD BE, WOULD BE ONE OF THESE WHERE, UH, EXTENDING THAT ROAD, PROVIDING NEW CONNECTIVITY, UH, ON THE TRANSPORTATION NETWORK.
SO WE HAVE NINE OF THOSE PROJECTS, UH, WHICH TOTAL ABOUT 66 MILLION.
UH, THE ROADWAY CAPACITY WINDING PROJECT.
SO THIS WOULD BE LIKE AN OLD BANKHEAD, UH, A WIDENING OF OAK RIDGE, THOSE TYPE OF PROJECTS.
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT'S UNIQUE ABOUT THESE IS THE WIDENINGS ARE ACTUALLY ALL URBAN IN NATURE.
SO, UH, KIND OF AS THE GROWTH IS OCCURRING IN PARKER COUNTY, TRANSITIONING FROM THAT RURAL ENVIRONMENT TO URBAN.
SO, UH, YOU'LL SEE THAT'S A 96 MILLION WORTH OF INVESTMENT THERE.
UH, AND THEN THIS LAST NUMBER IS NOT INCLUSIVE OF ALL THE PARTNERSHIPS WITH TECH STOCK, BUT JUST LOOKING AT THE INVESTMENT ALONG I 20 DIRECTLY, SO THAT WOULD BE THE FRONTAGE ROADS AND RAMPS, UH, IS 59 MILLION WORTH OF PROJECT.
SO WHEN WE, I I, EARLIER I PRESENTED 145.
SO THE 2 45 WOULD BE THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF IMPACT THAT WE HAVE IN TERMS OF THE MONEY THAT, UH, WE WOULD PARTNER WITH, BUT AS WELL AS WHAT THE, THE BOND PROGRAM WAS LIKE.
AND THAT'S THE CONNECTIVITY TO THE WHAT'S ON SYSTEM WITH THE I 20 EXPANSION.
BECAUSE KIND OF THE, THE, THE NARRATIVE OF THIS IS, IS GONNA BE THE, THE I 20 EXPANSION AND SAFETY PROJECT INITIATIVES, UM, WHICH IS, IT'S A BOND, BUT THAT'S GONNA BE THE, THE KEY THAT WHAT, HOW WE REFERENCE THIS.
AND, UH, SO YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE, THE CONNECTIVITY TO WHAT IS GONNA BE ON SYSTEM WITH THE I 20 EXPANSION, CORRECT? RIGHT, RIGHT.
AND, AND IF, IF LOOKING BACK AT THOSE MAPS, YOU KNOW, THERE'S, THERE'S OBVIOUSLY THE WIDENING OR THE, UH, THE FRONTAGE ROAD IMPROVEMENTS ON I 20, BUT A NUMBER OF THE PROJECTS ARE ADDING CAPACITY ADJACENT TO I 20.
UH, LIKE THERE'S, UM, UH, THE BANKHEAD IS ONE THAT'S, UH, A KEY ONE IN THAT, UH, THERE'S, UH, ANOTHER ONE IN IN PRECINCT THREE THAT'S THE BB FILTER, UH, PROJECT THAT WOULD, THAT WOULD ADD THAT PARALLEL CONNECTIVITY TO I 20.
UH, THIS NEXT ONE, UH, I THOUGHT THIS WAS A NICE BALANCE AS WELL.
SO, UH, IN THE 30 PROJECTS WE HAVE ON THE LIST TODAY, WE HAVE 11 THAT ARE COUNTY PROJECTS, UH, 11 THAT ARE CITY PROJECTS.
NOW SOME OF THE CITY ONES ARE LIKE PART OF THE ROADS IN THE COUNTY, UH, BUT IF IT'S A PROJECT THAT WAS ONE THAT, UH, THE CITY WAS INTERESTED IN BEING IN THE PROGRAM, SO HAVING 11 OF THOSE AND THEN A TOTAL OF EIGHT PROJECTS THAT ARE, UH, WOULD BE A PARTNERSHIP WITH TECH STOCK OR THAT ARE ON, UH, TECH STOCK ROADWAYS.
UH, SO THAT KIND OF GIVES YOU A SUMMARY.
UH, WITH THAT I'LL KIND OF OPEN UP TO ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE ABOUT WHERE WE ARE TODAY.
I GOT A QUESTION FAR YOU ON, UH, FROM THE INTERSTATE TO 180, YOU, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT WIDENING THE RICK WILLIAMSON? YES.
WHAT ABOUT FROM 180 TO 51? IS THERE NOT A NEED TO WIDEN IT ALL THE WAY FROM 20 TO 51? YOU KNOW, THE, DOES, DOES THE TRAFFIC STOP AT 180? IT, IT DOESN'T STOP.
IT'S JUST THAT'S THE, THE HIGHEST AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC WE HAVE IS ON THAT SEGMENT.
UH, AND SO, YOU KNOW, AS Y'ALL KNOW, Y'ALL ALREADY, THE PREVIOUS PROGRAM'S ALREADY ESTABLISHED THE, THE RIGHT OF WAY.
UH, AND SO WE DO HAVE A PROJECT IN PRECINCT, UH, TWO TO DO A SIGNAL AT OLD GARDNER, WHICH WILL KIND OF IMPROVE THAT, THAT FLOW OF THAT TRAFFIC IN THAT SEGMENT.
UH, BUT YEAH, CURRENTLY, AND THAT'S A GOOD POINT IS, UH, WHERE WE ARE TODAY, WE CAN LOOK AT ADDING ANY OTHER PROJECTS OR SWAPPING OUT.
THIS WAS GIVEN KIND OF A STATUS OF THE ONES THAT, THAT WE'VE COLLECTED TO DATE.
I DON'T HAVE ACTUAL NUMBERS, BUT I THINK THE TRAFFIC COUNT WOULD BE SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER FROM 180 TO I 20 THAN IT WOULD BE IN ON THE OTHER SIDE OF, UH, EAST.
AND THERE'S STILL A LOT GOING THE OTHER WAY, BUT, BUT I KNOW THAT THERE'S, MOST OF IT IS FROM 180 TO 20, BUT THE CENTER THERE, I DIDN'T KNOW IF YEAH, IT'S, IT'S A MATTER OF TRYING TO KIND OF BALANCE ALL THE NEEDS MONEY WE HAVE.
WE, WE ALSO DISCUSSED, UH, UH, A BRIDGE OVER 180 THERE.
AND THE COST IS SO GREAT THAT WE NARROWED IT DOWN TO WIDENING IT SURE.
[00:10:01]
YEAH.SO YOU'LL SEE, UH, WE HAVE, I MEAN, IN THIS LIST WE DO HAVE THAT BRIDGE, BUT YEAH, GIVEN THE, THE WIDENING, UH, IS PROBABLY THE, THE BEST, WHAT'S THE ESTIMATED COST FOR THAT PERIOD? UH, THAT BRIDGE RIGHT NOW IS LIKE 17 MILLION.
UM, Y YOU KNOW, ONE, ONE OF THE THINGS I, I THINK THE JUDGE AND I ARE, ARE SCHEDULING A MEETING WITH TECH STOCK AND COG AND ONE POINT OF CONVERSATION WOULD BE, UH, TO TRY TO LOOK AT BRIDGE FUNDING.
WHEN WE FIRST DONE THAT BOND, THERE WAS GONNA BE A BRIDGE THERE, RIGHT? RIGHT.
AND WE TOOK IT OUT AND IT WAS LIKE TWO OR $3 MILLION
IT, IT, BUT WE DID SET IT UP, YOU KNOW, THE, THE INTERSECTION WAS SET FOR THE BRIDGE.
UM, AND THE, UM, WHAT THE WAY THAT, THE REASON WHY THAT COST IS WHERE IT IS TODAY IS CUZ YOU BRIDGE OVER THAT, BUT IT PRODUCES RETAINING WALLS.
UH, KIND OF LIKE A TYPICAL INTERCHANGE YOU MIGHT SEE ON 20.
UH, WHAT, WHAT'S THERE TODAY WOULD KIND OF FUNCTION LIKE FRONTAGE ROADS, UH, AND SO, BUT, BUT YEAH, THE, UH, THAT IS DEFINITELY A KEY PROJECT, YOU KNOW, OF THE LIST WE HAVE NOW IS GETTING THOSE, THAT WIDENING OF THE LOOP.
CHRIS, CAN YOU TALK ABOUT A LITTLE WITH THE, WITH WHAT THE OBJECTIVES ARE OF THAT MEETING WITH COG AND, UM, IS IS A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A DISCUSSION ON THE MATCHING FUNDS, WHICH IS IS REALLY A, A CRITICAL PIECE OF THIS.
UH, CAN YOU ADDRESSED A LITTLE BIT OF THAT? THE, THE KEY IS TO, YOU KNOW, TO GO OVER THE LIST OF PROJECTS WE HAVE, UM, IN, IN MY CONVERSATIONS WITH TECH SUCK, THEY'RE VERY AWARE OF SUCH AS LIKE I 20 AND EXTENSION OF SEVEN 30.
UH, BUT THEN ALSO JUST HAVING, THERE MAY BE ANOTHER PROJECT THAT, UH, THAT THEY HAVE THOUGHTS ON THAT YOU KNOW, WE COULD PARTNER WITH THEM ON.
SO IT'S REALLY JUST TO, YOU KNOW, SHARE THE LIST OF PARTNERSHIP PROJECTS AND LOOK AND SEE IF THERE'S OTHERS THAT, THAT WE CAN PARTNER WITH THEM ON.
IT IS KIND OF A PROCESS WE NORMALLY GO THROUGH, UH, THAT WAY THAT THEY'RE FULLY AWARE OF ALL THE PROJECTS WE HAVE.
UH, AND IT, YOU KNOW, THE IDEA IS THE TECHOS DOING A LOT OF INVESTMENT IN THE COUNTY WITH THE DIFFERENT FM ROADS AND THE, THE LARGER I 20 PROJECT.
SO WE WANNA MAKE SURE OUR PROGRAM IS KIND OF A SUPPLEMENT IN, UH, LIKE FOR EXAMPLE, I 20, YOU KNOW, GETTING THOSE FRONTAGE ROADS IN REALLY HELP THEIR PROJECT CUZ NOW YOU CAN MOVE TRAFFIC ON THE FRONTAGE ROAD WHILE THEY'RE BUILDING THE MAIN LANES.
DO YOU ANTICIPATE MORE OF THE MATCHING FUNDS BECAUSE OF THE PARTNERSHIP THAT WE HAVE AND THE THINGS THAT WE'RE DOING ON OUR END? YEAH.
I, I THINK, YOU KNOW, THAT'S BEEN A GREAT HISTORY OF PARTNERSHIPS WITH TECH STOCK AND COG.
UH, AS YOU KNOW, LIKE EVEN OLD WEATHERFORD ROAD, THAT'S NOT EVEN ON SYSTEM.
YOU KNOW, COG HAS BEEN A, A HUGE PARTNER, UH, WITH THE COUNTY AND THE CITIES AND THAT PROJECT.
SO, UH, THERE IS OPPORTUNITIES AND THAT THAT'S PART OF THAT MEETING.
LIKE I MENTIONED THE, THE BRIDGE OVER 180, THAT'S KIND OF WHERE I'M GOING WITH THIS IS THAT, YOU KNOW, WITH THE MATCHING FUNDS THAT WE HAVE, IS THERE SOMETHING SOME WAY WE CAN BACKDOOR INTO OR FIGURE OUT HOW TO, UM, BECAUSE INITIALLY WE LOOKED AT A NUMBER THAT, UH, WE WANT TO GET ALL THE PROJECTS WE CAN THAT THAT'S CRITICAL HERE.
UM, BUT WITHOUT GOING OVER AND EXCEEDING A CERTAIN NUMBER, UH, BUT THE, THE MATCHING FUNDS THAT COULD FACTOR INTO THIS, COULD THAT IMPACT THE, THE, UH, THE BRIDGE THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT AS WELL.
SO IT'S, YEAH, IT'S GONNA HAVE TO BE DONE EVENTUALLY.
AND UH, UM, THERE'S, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF WHAT I'M SPEAKING TO IS THAT DIRECT LOCAL COORDINATION WITH TECH STOCK AND COG.
UH, THERE ARE FEDERAL GRANTS THAT WE COULD APPLY FOR AS WELL.
I MEAN, THERE'S BRIDGE PROGRAMS. UH, SO THAT'S AN ELEMENT THAT, UM, WE WANNA DISCUSS WITH.
I MEAN, COGS ALWAYS A PARTICIPANT IN THAT.
UH, BUT IT, THERE'S A ADVANTAGE FOR THE LOCAL ENTITY TO ACTUALLY MAKE THE APPLICATION.
CUZ YOU CAN IMAGINE COGS DOING APPLICATIONS FOR THE WHOLE METROPLEX AND IF YOU HAVE A, A LOCAL ENTITY LIKE A CITY OR COUNTY APPLYING FOR THAT JOB, UM, IT, IT'S JUST ANOTHER STRATEGY TO STRETCH THOSE FUNDS.
IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS FOR CHRIS? AND WE HAVE, WE HAVE GEORGE HERE STILL THAT, UH, UH, FROM A FINANCIAL STANDPOINT, IS THERE ANY, ANY QUESTIONS FOR EITHER ONE? CHRIS, DO YOU HAVE ANY, UH, PROJECTIONS ON THE RATE AT WHICH CONSTRUCTION PRICES, AND I KNOW LOOKING IN THE FUTURE IS JUST THAT IT'S LOOKING IN THE FUTURE? UM, HISTORICALLY CONSTRUCTION INFLATION COSTS OR THE INFLATION OF CONSTRUCTION COSTS HAS JUST ABOUT DOUBLED REGULAR INFLATION OVER THE PAST 20 YEARS.
IN OTHER WORDS, INFLATION RISES AT ABOUT 2.3%.
CONSTRUCTION RISES AT ABOUT DOUBLE THAT.
[00:15:01]
IT FAIR TO SAY THAT THE MORE WE PUT OFF SOME OF THESE PROJECTS, THE MORE EXPENSIVE IT'S GONNA BE LONG TERM AND REAL DOLLARS TO PARKER COUNTY TAXPAYERS? CAN YOU COMMENT ON THAT AT ALL? YOU BET AND THINK IT AS WELL.IT'S, UH, YOU KNOW, EVEN A POINT THAT COMMISSIONER CONLEY MADE ABOUT THE, YOU KNOW, THE DISCUSSION AROUND THAT BRIDGE IN 2008 VERSUS NOW.
UH, NOW PART OF THAT IS LIKE, UM, YOU KNOW, THAT, UM, A LOT OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE OF THE RAMPS GOT BUILT IN THE FIRST PROGRAM.
UH, SO THE, UH, BUT YEAH, WE'VE SEEN THAT AND ONE OF THE, THE THINGS WE'VE SEEN JUST IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS IS WE HAD THAT INFLATION SPIKE AS A SOCIETY, YOU KNOW, OVER A YEAR AGO.
AND, AND ALTHOUGH SOME ELEMENTS CAME DOWN, CONSTRUCTION DIDN'T.
UH, SO WE'RE STILL SEEING HIGH PRICES IN BIDDING, UH, IN TERMS OF UM, YOU KNOW, STEEL CONCRETE FUEL COST.
AND SO, UH, TO YOUR POINT, YEAH, CONSTRUCTION COST, UH, IS CONSTANTLY GOING UP.
AND PART OF THAT IS THERE'S SUCH A HIGH DEMAND, IT'S ALMOST A SUPPLY DEMAND THING WITH CONTRACTORS CUZ THE METROPLEX IS GROWING SO FAST THAT WHERE, UH, IN THE FIRST PRO PROGRAM WE USED TO GET EIGHT, 10 CONTRACTORS BIDDING ON OUR PROJECTS AND NOW BE, YOU KNOW, FOUR OR FIVE CONTRACTORS.
AND SO JUST THE NATURE OF THAT, THAT DYNAMIC OF THEIR MANPOWER TO DELIVER DRIVES THE COST UP AS WELL.
UH, SO YEAH, DIRECTLY TO YOUR POINT, UM, IT'S ALWAYS GOING TO INCREASE IN TERMS OF NOW WE'VE HAD, YOU KNOW, IF THERE, YOU KNOW, AT TIMES WHEN THERE'S A RECESSION THERE MIGHT BE A, A, UH, TAKE DOWN FOR ONE GIVEN YEAR, BUT THEN IT COMES BACK EVEN FASTER WHEN, UH, YOU KNOW, CUZ THERE'S USUALLY AN INFLUX OF MONEY TO LIKE PROMOTE INFRASTRUCTURE MM-HMM.
SOME OF THESE AREAS THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT CHANGING ARE CURRENTLY, UH, NON-RESIDENTIAL LAND AG LAND OR, OR RURAL OR, OR WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE.
AS WE HAVE MORE PEOPLE MOVE IN AND THOSE AREAS BECOME MORE POPULATED, DOES THAT INCREASE OUR PRICES AS WELL IN THE FUTURE IF WE'RE HAVING TO DO A NEW ROAD THROUGH WHAT'S A TWO ACRE SUBDIVISION VERSUS WHAT'S CURRENTLY RURAL? YEAH, AND I, AND I THINK, UM, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE PROJECTS LIKE OAK RIDGE FOR EXAMPLE, YOU KNOW, WHERE THE VOLUME OF TRAFFIC OAKRIDGE GETS, YOU KNOW, THE, THE RURAL ROADWAY DOESN'T HOLD UP, YOU KNOW, LIKE IT DID 15 YEARS AGO.
JUST THE VOLUME OF TRAFFIC, THE VOLUME OF TRUCKS ON IT, MAYBE TRUCKS, THEY'RE MORE DELIVERY IN NATURE.
UM, SO YEAH, WE'RE THAT THAT INFLUX OF PEOPLE DETERIORATES THE RURAL ROAD MUCH FASTER.
UH, AND THAT'S WHY I MENTIONED THAT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT'S DIFFERENT ABOUT THIS PROGRAM THAN THE PAST IS HOW MANY URBAN ROADS THAT WE HAVE PLANNED.
AND WE'VE ALWAYS HAD A FEW, LIKE WHEN WE DID CHAMPIONS DRIVE AND ALITO, UH, OF COURSE THE, THE TECH STOCK PROJECTS LIKE 1187 HAVE BEEN URBAN IN NATURE.
UH, BUT MOST HAVE BEEN, UH, THAT RURAL SECTION.
AND SO THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT'S VERY DIFFERENT ABOUT THIS PROGRAM IS HAVING A LOT MORE OF THE URBAN ROADS WITH SIDEWALKS, A LOT OF THOSE ELEMENTS THAT, UH, I THINK CITIZENS THAT HAVE MOVED IN ARE LOOKING FOR IN THE COMMUNITY.
BUT, UH, JUST AS WE'RE TRANSITIONING, UH, THAT'S KIND OF A, A, A REAL DIFFERENCE IN THIS PROGRAM.
WE REALLY KIND OF COVERED B ON THAT.
UM, AGAIN, IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM CHRIS AS WE, UH, WRAP UP A AND B AND WE, WE DON'T GET GEORGE HERE VERY OFTEN, SO IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS FOR GEORGE? THANK YOU GEORGE, FOR PROVIDING THE INFORMATION THAT YOU DID.
MR. BOSCO, OR ARE YOU HANGING AROUND OR ARE YOU LEAVING? NO, I'M HANGING AROUND BECAUSE I GOT SOME, I NEED TO TALK TO YOU.
OKAY, WE'RE GONNA GO BACK TO ITEM
[4.D.1 Interdepartmental transfers of equipment and inventory reports. ]
D ONE IN THE DEPARTMENTAL TRANS.INTER DEPARTMENTAL TRANSFER EQUIPMENT I REPORTS KIM? YES.
WE DO HAVE, HAVE SOME ITEMS THAT, THAT HAVE TRANSFERRED FROM D DEPARTMENTS, UM, INCLUDING PROTECTIVE VEST, SOME COMPUTERS, FURNITURE, CAMERA, AND FRONT END ALIGNMENT MACHINE.
ITEM D TWO APPROVE CCL TWO TEMPORARY LEASE OF FURNITURE FOR THE WILLOW PARK ANNEX.
SO, UM, JUDGE JOHNSON WILL BE COMING DOWN TO SPEAK TO YOU ALL ABOUT THIS ITEM.
IF WE CAN, UM, PUT THIS OFF UNTIL SHE'S IN THE COURTROOM.
WE'LL TAKE NO ACTION ON THIS AT THIS TIME.
[00:20:01]
IT AND IF SHE COMES, MAKES HERSELF AVAILABLE.UH, WE'LL GO TO ITEM THREE ON RFP, PC 22 DASH 19 COURTHOUSE.
INTERIOR OF REPAIRS APPROVED AND AUTHORIZED THE COUNTY JUDGE TO EXECUTE CHANGE ORDER NUMBER ONE.
SO THIS CHANGE ORDER IS TO ADD SOME ITEMS THAT WERE NOT INCLUDED INTO THE, UM, BRIDGING DOCUMENTS.
AND IT'S JUST, UM, SOME MINOR PLASTER REPAIRS SUCH AS WHAT'S IN HERE.
UM, THERE'S A COUPLE PLACES DOWNSTAIRS IN THE BASEMENT THAT WEREN'T ON THE BRIDGING DOCUMENTS AND THE CURRENT BUDGET DOES INCLUDE CONTINGENCY FUNDS, WHICH, UM, THIS 22,000 WOULD COME OUT OF THAT CONTINGENCY FUND.
IT'S JUST, UH, WE NEED AUTHORIZATION TO APPROVE THE CHANGE ORDER TO MOVE, UM, MOVE THIS FROM PROGRAM CONTINGENCIES INTO THE CONSTRUCTION BUDGET.
OKAY, I MOVED TO APPROVE THE, UH, INTERIOR REPAIR CHANGE ORDER NUMBER ONE SECOND.
UH, MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER WALDO.
I'M GONNA SECOND BY COMMISSIONER CONNELL YOU THE DISCUSSION BEFORE VOTE.
OH, JUST IS EVERYBODY ELSE NOT ABLE TO VOTE STILL? UH, MINE JUST CAME BACK ON SO ARE NOT ABLE TO VOTE.
[4.D.2. Approve CCL2 temporary lease of furniture for the Willow Park Annex. (Kim Rivas / Judge Johnson / Judge Deen)]
ON APPROVED CCL TWO TEMPORARY LEASE FURNITURE FOR THE WOOD PARK ANNEX.UM, JUDGE JOHNSON, IF YOU WOULD.
UM, I DON'T, DID YOU GET, I HAVE A HANDOUT.
DID YOU? I GAVE THEM WHAT, WHAT SENT? I HAVE WATER PICTURES.
IF YOU HAVE IT, YOU'RE GOOD TO GO.
BEFORE I BECAME EMPLOYER, I WAS A PROFESSIONAL COPIER ACTUALLY.
IS THIS GONNA TAKE LONG? THEY'RE ALL GOING.
UH, THERE'S A REAL SIMPLE LEASE.
YOU HAVEN'T LOOKED AT IT YET, SO AND I, I'LL READ THROUGH IT ALREADY.
ANYWAY, AS YOU KNOW, THE END OF, UH, FIRST PART OF JULY, WE'RE MOVING OUT TO THE OLD JP FOUR BUILDING IN WILLOW PARK.
UH, UH, WE'RE TRYING TO
IT, IT LOOKED LIKE A FRAT HOUSE AND SO I HAD BUILDING AND GROUNDS REMOVE ANYTHING THAT LOOKED LIKE JUNK.
AND THEY, SO WE GOT RID OF A LOT OF THE FURNITURE THAT WAS THERE IN THE LOBBY IN DIFFERENT PLACES IN SOME OF THE OFFICES.
BUILDING AND GROUNDS WAS KIND ENOUGH.
AND THANK YOU TO MARK THAT WERE RECARPETING PART OF THE SPACE, REPAINTING PART OF THE SPACE SO THAT IT LOOKS MORE PROFESSIONAL, IT LOOKS MORE RESPECTABLE.
AND THAT'S REALLY THE POINT OF THIS WHOLE THING IS THAT THERE'S NOT ENOUGH FURNITURE OUT THERE TO ACCOMMODATE OUR NEEDS.
WE NEED THINGS THAT WILL ALLOW US TO HAVE CONFERENCES WITH LAWYERS AND CLIENTS, WITH CPS AND EVERYTHING ELSE.
WE'RE GONNA USE WHAT WE CAN THAT THE COUNTY HAS FROM OUR OWN OFFICES.
WE'VE PULLED A COUPLE TABLES FROM THAT WE'RE GONNA USE OUT OF THE OLD COUNTY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE TO PUT INTO ONE OF THE SPACES.
BUT WE'RE TRYING TO DO THE BEST WE CAN AND THEN ADD TO IT.
AND, AND THIS IS MY VIEW AS A STAFF PERSON.
I CAN LIVE WITH ALMOST ANYTHING.
YOU GIVE ME A TABLE AND A CHAIR AND I'M FINE.
BUT WHEN I'M OUT IN THE PUBLIC SPACES WHERE I HAVE JURORS COME IN, I HAVE DEFENDANTS, I HAVE ATTORNEYS, I HAVE PEOPLE THAT COME IN.
IT'S ALL ABOUT IN MY MIND, RESPECT AND SECURITY.
IF I DON'T RESPECT THE SPACE, IF I DON'T, IF THE SPACE DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THE COUNTY RESPECTS IT, YOU WILL FIND THAT PEOPLE DON'T RESPECT IT.
AND IF PEOPLE DON'T RESPECT IT, THEN THEY START ACTING UP.
AND IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHERE IT'S THE, YOU DON'T WANT YOUR PEOPLE FROM THE PUBLIC TO COME IN AND LOOK AT A SPACE THAT IS, THAT DOESN'T, IS NOT SUITED FOR THE TASK THAT WE HAVE, THAT WE NEED IT.
WHICH MEANS HAVING CONFERENCES AND EVERYTHING ELSE.
PLUS IT NEEDS TO ALSO SHOW THAT, UM, WE RESPECT THEM AND WE TREAT THEM APPROPRIATELY.
THAT'S KIND OF A, I'M NOT REALLY SURE HOW TO PHRASE IT.
AND I'VE BEEN TRYING TO, TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE WORDS ARE.
BUT ESSENTIALLY WHAT I WANT IS TWO CONFERENCE TABLES.
I'VE GOT ABOUT TWO DOZEN CHAIRS.
I HAVE TO HAVE A SPECIFIC KIND OF TABLE THAT WILL FIT IN THE JP FOUR COURTROOM, THE OLD JP FOUR COURTROOM THAT'LL ACCOMMODATE TWO COUNTY CLERKS SO THEY CAN SIT SIDE BY SIDE SO IT CAN HAVE ANY DRAWERS ON THE OTHER SIDE.
AND IT'S IN A REALLY SMALL, TIGHT SPACE.
I HAVE TO HAVE, I'M PULLING OUT THE BENCH BEHIND THE JUROR BOX SO THAT I CAN FIT SIX CHAIRS AND I GOTTA HAVE SIX SPECIFIC SIZE CHAIRS.
UM, I, THE CONFERENCE, THE TABLES WHERE THE LAWYERS SIT ARE, ARE VERY AWKWARD.
SO I GOTTA USE CHAIRS THAT'LL FIT THERE.
[00:25:01]
NOT BIG ONES BECAUSE I USUALLY HAVE 10 PEOPLE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BAR.UM, I'M TURNING ONE OF THE OLD STOREROOM INTO A CONFERENCE ROOM, SO I HAVE TO HAVE A SPECIFIC SIZE TABLE THAT WILL FIT THERE THAT WILL ACCOMMODATE ALL THE CHAIRS, CUZ THAT'S PROBABLY GONNA BE MY JURY ROOM.
I'M TURNING ONE OF THE OFFICES INTO ANOTHER CONFERENCE ROOM.
AND SO I'VE GIVEN THIS A LOT OF THOUGHT.
SO REALLY, UH, ESSENTIALLY IT'S TWO BOOKCASES IN ARMO, ABOUT TWO DOZEN CHAIRS, TWO CONFERENCE ROOMS, SOME DIFFERENT BENCHES THAT'LL FIT SOME, SOME MISCELLANEOUS CHAIRS, A TABLE.
THERE'S NOT A LOT OF BUSINESSES THAT WILL ACTUALLY RENT YOU FURNITURE.
MOSTLY THEY JUST WANT TO SELL YOU WHAT THEY HAVE.
AND I DIDN'T WANNA BE IN THAT PROCESS WHERE I HAD TO BUY SOMETHING AND THEN WORRY ABOUT VENDORS AND BIDDING AND ALL THAT.
THE BEST COMP I COULD GET WAS OVER TWO GRAND A MONTH.
I THOUGHT THAT WAS WAY TOO MUCH.
SO I HAD A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO DO A RENTAL, UH, WITH A LAW FIRM THAT WAS, THAT HAD A BUNCH OF THINGS IN STORAGE AND WAS WILLING TO LET ME USE IT.
AND SO, UH, FOR ABOUT 67% DISCOUNT, I'M RENTING EVERYTHING I NEED.
PLUS I'M GONNA USE FURNITURE FROM MY COURTROOM FROM, LIKE I SAID, THE COUNTY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE AND EVERYWHERE ELSE.
I JUST WANNA MAKE THE PLACE RESPECTABLE.
AND MARK LONG IS HELPING ME DO THAT AND I APPRECIATE IT.
HE'S ADDING EVEN A DOOR TO MY OFFICE SO WE DON'T HAVE TO USE THE SAME BATHROOM AS ALL THE JURORS AND DEFENDANTS THAT WE HAVE ACCESS TO A DIFFERENT SPACE.
SO WE'RE TRYING TO TURN THE CO THE PROPERTY THAT THE COUNTY HAS USED FOR 30, 30 YEARS SINCE JUDGE SIMONS WAS OUT THERE 25 YEARS, BEEN OUT THERE FOREVER.
I DON'T THINK THE CARPETS WERE CHANGED EITHER.
UM, UH, AND TRYING TO MAKE IT RESPECTABLE, IT'S NOT GONNA REPLACE OBVIOUSLY WHAT I GOT HERE, BUT I'M TRYING TO MAKE IT RESPECTABLE SO THAT I CAN CONDUCT BUSINESS.
I GOT A JURY TRIAL SCHEDULED THERE THE WEEK AFTER I SHOW UP.
I GOT A HANDFUL OF CPS JURY TRIALS THAT ARE ALREADY ON THE BOOKS.
THAT'LL BE DONE THE NEXT SIX MONTHS.
ALTHOUGH THE INSTRUCTION IS EXPECTED IN MY COURTROOM TO END ON HALLOWEEN AND I HAVE FULL FAITH AND CONFIDENCE THAT THEY WILL MEET THEIR DEADLINES.
THE GUY WITH THE PAINTBRUSH AND THE SCRAPER, I'M SURE HE'LL BE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE IT CAUSE I'VE SEEN HIM WORK HERE ON THIS FLOOR.
BUT IN THE EVENT THAT HE CAN'T, UH, I THINK I HAVE A MINIMUM TERM OF SIX MONTHS.
THAT WAY WE CAN BE THERE THROUGH DECEMBER.
CUZ AS SOON AS THAT JOB IS COMPLETED ON THE SECOND FLOOR, THEN I CAN START SENDING OUT NOTICES TO MY PARTIES TO LET 'EM KNOW WE CHANGED LOCATIONS.
AND SO I NEED AT LEAST A 30 TO 60 DAY LEAD TIME.
SO, SO I WAS WONDERING WHY THAT LAW FIRM WAS INVOLVED AND I'M GLAD THAT THEY ARE WILLING TO DO THIS.
UH, TELL 'EM WE APPRECIATE THAT.
AND I, AND I APPRECIATE IT TOO.
AND AS MARK MARK'S ALREADY SEEN SOME OF THIS STUFF, AND HE'LL TELL YOU IT'S, IT'S, IT'S NICE.
AND SO, UM, AND IN DOING SO, JUST TRYING TO ELEVATE THE SPACE, ELEVATE WHAT I BELIEVE WAS RESPECT FOR THE SPACE AND, AND HOPEFULLY WITH THAT, GET FOLKS TO ACT APPROPRIATELY.
I MEAN, AS YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU, WHEN PEOPLE COME TO COURT HERE, YOU EXPECT THEM TO ACT IN A CERTAIN WAY.
I HAVE RULES IN MY COURT WHERE YOU TUCK IN YOUR SHIRTS, YOU DON'T, YOU TUCK IN YOUR SHIRTS, YOU DON'T WEAR THINGS THAT HAVE DISPLAYS ON YOUR T-SHIRTS.
YOU KNOW, YOU DON'T WEAR CUTOFFS.
YOU NEVER SHOW UP IN FLIP FLOPS.
AND IT'S THAT KIND OF RESPECT THAT WHEN THEY COME THROUGH THE DOOR, YOU EXPECT TO CARRY THROUGH IN THAT ENTIRE SPACE.
AND SO IT'S NOT ABOUT HAVING LEFTOVER FURNITURE FROM 20 YEARS AGO IN THE SPACE THAT'LL BREAK AS SOON AS YOU SIT IN IT.
IT'S ABOUT HAVING A SPACE THAT YOU RESPECT THAT THEY'LL RESPECT AND THEY'LL ACT ACCORDINGLY.
SO JUDGE, YOUR UH, REQUEST IS FOR 700 5700 $50 PER MONTH FOR SIX MONTHS.
AND, AND YOU'VE DONE WORK HERE TO SHOW THAT IF FROM A COMPARABLE FIRM IT WOULD BE TWO GRAND, $2,000 A MONTH.
AND, AND YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT A TERM THAT WE WOULD SIGN FOR SIX MONTHS.
AND UH, THEN WHERE'S THE MONEY COMING FROM? MY BUDGET.
I, I HAVE TOLD I CAN'T PAY THE WHOLE SIX MONTHS RIGHT NOW.
BUT I HAVE IT IN MY BUDGET TO IT RIGHT NOW.
I'M JUST REVIEWING THE FAX AS I SEE THEM.
SO I'VE GOT IT SIT IN MY BUDGET SO RIGHT NOW I CAN PULL IT AND NOT BE OUT, NOT, UH, BE OUT ANY OTHER LINE ITEM.
SO I'M GONNA MOVE THAT WE APPROVE THE, UH, LEASE OF THE FURNITURE FOR JUDGE JOHNSON'S COURTROOM MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN.
UH, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER CONLEY.
ANY OF THE DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.
AND, AND JUST, JUST SO YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE SOME GREAT PEOPLE WORKING FOR YOU THAT HAVE MADE MY MOVE SEAMLESS, UH, THE OTS OFFICE, KIM, BRIANNA, MARK, AND IT, AND I REALLY APPRECIATE IT AND I APPRECIATE Y'ALL'S HELP AND HELPING ME DO MY JOB.
[00:30:01]
THANK YOU.I WILL ALSO ASK THE COURT, UM, TO APPROVE ME TO OVERRIDE THE BUDGET SO SHE CAN EXECUTE A PO CUZ WE'RE GONNA NEED TO MOVE IT TO THE CORRECT LINE.
AND, AND ONE, ONE LAST THING I SAY ON THE LEASE, IF WE CAN REMOVE JUDGE, JUDGE JOHNSON.
DO, DO YOU THINK WE WOULD BE ABLE TO REMOVE THE IDENTIFICATION CLAUSE SINCE WE'RE NOT ABLE TO IDENTIFY? YEAH.
I I FIGURED THAT WOULD BE THE CASE.
WALDEN, WILL YOU HAVE A SECOND? SECOND JOHN, DO WE ALSO NEED TO LIKE HAVE A 30 DAY OUT CLAUSE IF WE, YOU, YOU'RE SAYING THAT YOU COULDN'T BE OUT BY NO.
YOU STILL NEED TO BE ON OCTOBER.
I I, YEAH, I'M NOT GONNA SEND OUT NOTICES.
SO THAT WE CAN START COURT IN NOVEMBER.
UNTIL I KNOW THAT THEY'RE FINISHED.
I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE, WHEN I KNOW THAT, WHEN I KNOW THAT THEY'RE FINISHED.
UM, WHEN I KNOW THAT THEY'RE FINISHED, THEN I'LL BE OUT.
AND SO I USUALLY, WE SEND OUT NOTICES 45 TO 60 DAYS.
AND SO ONCE THAT'S DONE, OKAY.
ONCE THEY, ONCE THEY'RE DONE, THEN I CAN START SENDING OUT MY TRIAL NOTICES AND MY NOTICES TO APPEAR.
CAUSE I DON'T WANNA HOLD ANYBODY, I DON'T WANNA ISSUE WARRANTS FOR PEOPLE THAT DON'T SHOW UP CAUSE I HAVEN'T GIVEN NOTICE.
AND I FORGOT TO SAY THANKS TO THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT CAUSE THERE'S SENDING SECURITY OUT FOR ME.

[6.A. Request 4-H Agent's hotel room be approved while in Decatur for District 4-H Horse Show since mileage falls within the 50-mile parameters of the travel policy. (Kathy Smith / Kim Rivas / Judge Deen)]
SIX UNDER APPROVAL, UNDER ITEM A REQUEST FOUR H.AGENT AGENT'S HOTEL ROOM WILL BE APPROVED WHILE IN DECATUR FOR DISTRICT FOUR H HORSE SHOW SINCE MODEL 12
[00:35:01]
WHEN THE PARAMETERS OF THE TRAVEL POLICY ITEM B UPDATE ON COURTHOUSE REPAIRS AND TAKE ANY ACTION AS NECESSARY.SO THIS IS APPROVAL, SO WE DO NEED TO CORRECT COUNSELOR.
SO LET'S GO BACK TO A, I'M SORRY, I WAS THINKING IT WAS, UH, WE WILL NEED AN ACCEPTANCE ON THE, THE REQUEST FROM THE FOUR H AGENTS HOTEL ROOM TO BE, I THINK WE HAVE KATHY SMITH HERE TO DISCUSS THAT.
PROBABLY KATHY, IF YOU WOULD COME UP.
I'M SORRY I LOOKED AT THAT AS NOTIFICATION, SO I WAS JUST BREEZING RIGHT THROUGH THAT.
YEAH, JUDGE AND COMMISSIONERS, UH, WE ARE REQUESTING THIS BECAUSE IT'S WITHIN THE 50 MILES THAT'S, WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE OUTSIDE OF THAT, BUT, UH, THE DISTRICT HORSE SHOW WILL BE IN DECATUR AND IT AND KAYLA WILL BE, SHE'S ON THE COMMITTEE AND SHE'LL BE TAKING SUPERVISING FOUR HS THERE.
AND, UH, IT STARTS LIKE SHE HAS TO BE THERE AT FIVE AND THE SHOW GOES ON LATE.
AND SO IT'S FOR LIKE, IT'S, IT STARTS ON, UM, IT STARTS ON THE 21ST AND IT RUNS THROUGH THE 23RD.
AND WE WOULD JUST LIKE REQUEST THAT SHE'D BE ABLE TO STAY THERE WITH THEIR FULL RIGHTERS.
IS THERE MONEY IN THE BUDGET FOR THAT? YES.
BECAUSE WE'RE GOING OUTSIDE OF THE TRAVEL POLICY, THEN IT'S REQUIRING COURT'S APPROVAL.
AND SO THEN I WOULD ASK, YOU KNOW, IF THERE'S SIMILAR INSTANCES WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO SHOW IF YOU ALL WANT TO GO AHEAD AND APPROVE THOSE OR IF YOU WANT THEM APPROVED EACH TIME CASE BY CASE.
BUT I MOVE TO APPROVE THAT ITEM AS PRESENTED.
COMMISSIONER CONLEY HAS MADE THE MOTION FOR APPROVAL.
ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.
[6.B. Update on Courthouse repairs and take any action as necessary. (Mark Long / Judge Deen)]
ON UPDATE ON COURTHOUSE REPAIRS AND TAKE ANY ACTION AS NECESSARY.JUDGE JOHNSON COVERED SOME OF IT BY MOVING WHEN SHE'S GONNA MOVE OUT AND MOVE BACK IN, BUT RIGHT NOW ALL THE WORK GOING ON IS ON THE BASEMENT, UH, FIRST FLOOR AND THE THIRD FLOOR.
UH, WE ANTICIPATE A COUPLE OF MORE WEEKS TO HAVE THESE OFFICES DONE AND CIA'S OFFICE.
HOW ABOUT PROBATE? PROBATE? I DON'T KNOW WHY WE WORRIED ABOUT IT DOESN'T PROBATE.
IT DOESN'T APPEAR THAT IT'S GONNA BE FINISHED ANYTIME SOON.
YEAH, EIGHT DAYS AGO I WAS TOLD ONE WEEK AND IT TURNED IN AT SIX WEEKS ON ANOTHER PROJECT.
SO WE DON'T ALWAYS GET WHAT WE WANT
BUT JUST, SO JUST TO GO OVER, FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN THEY START CHASING A CRACK IN A WALL LIKE THIS, THEY HAVE TO GET IT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO WHERE THEY THINK THEY GOT IT AND THEN THE ENGINEER HAS TO COME IN, INSPECT IT, AND THEN KOMATSU HAS TO SIGN OFF ON IT AND THEN THEY HAVE TO SEND IT TO THE STATE FOR THE STATE TO SIGN OFF AND THEN THEY CAN START.
AND THAT'S IF, IF THE WHAT IS APPROVED IS AVAILABLE, WHICH IN THE PLASTER IN THIS CASE TRUE.
AND SO THAT NOW THAT THEY'VE GOTTEN THAT AVAILABLE, NOW THAT IT SHOULD START MOVING QUICKER ON THE PLASTER AS WE SEE BEHIND HERE.
I TALKED TO KENNETH HEAD JUST BEFORE I CAME IN HERE AND THEY'RE STILL WAITING ON SOME OF THE PLASTER.
SO THE, THEIR CREDIT, I MEAN, EVEN THE FLOORING HAS GOTTA BE, IT'S THAT YELLOW PINE, WHICH IS OVER A HUNDRED YEARS OLD.
SO THERE'S A CHALLENGE IN GETTING THAT SUPPLIES IN.
SO IT'S EASY TO PICK ON THESE PEOPLE AND I CERTAINLY WANT IT DONE QUICKER, BUT WE'RE AT THE MERCY OF THE AVAILABILITY OF IT IN GETTING IT APPROVED.
SO IT'S KIND OF OUT OF OUR HANDS ESSENTIALLY.
YEAH, IT'S EASY TO PICK ON 'EM, BUT YOU KNOW, THEY'RE DOING THE BEST THEY CAN.
[6.C. Approve budget transfer of $20,000.00 from general fund program contingencies to department 415, Probate. (Judge Deen)]
C ON APPROVE BUDGET TRANSFER OF 20,000 FROM GENERAL FUND PROGRAM CONTINGENCIES, DEPARTMENT FOUR 15 PROBATE.I HAD, UH, BRIANNA MEET WITH MY PROBATE AUDITOR.
UH, SITUATION THAT OCCURRED IS THAT, UH, ON OCCASION THERE IS A SITUATION AND FORTUNATELY FOR US IT'S, IT'S MINIMAL.
UH, BUT THERE WAS A LENGTHY TRIAL THAT THAT WENT ON, UH, WHEN IT WAS KICKED UP TO STATUTORY FROM MY COURT.
UH, AND IT THEN AT THAT POINT IT'S, IT'S OUTTA OUR HANDS.
WE WERE AT THE MERCY OF THAT ON THAT BUDGET AND THAT SITUATION COST US 10,000, UH, WHICH WAS NOT SEEN OR EXPECTED.
AND SO WE'RE ASKING FOR AN ADDITIONAL 20,000 IS A CONTINGENCY.
THERE'S, THERE'S NO EARMARK FOR THE OTHER 10, BUT JUST MAKING SURE THAT WE CAN GET THROUGH THE NEXT FOUR MONTHS WITHOUT HAVING TO COME BACK TO YOU AND BOTHER YOU FOR THIS.
HOPEFULLY IT ONLY HIT US FOR 10.
[00:40:01]
UH, BUT THAT WAS A SITUATION THAT WAS JUST TOTALLY OUT OF OUR CONTROL.THAT KI GOT KICKED TO STATUTORY AND UH, FOR THAT TO GET SOLVED AND THAT HAD GONE ON FOR MONTHS.
UH, I BELIEVE THE, THE COURT ITSELF WAS OVER OVER 10 DAYS, SO THERE WAS A COST OF THAT TO THE STATUTORY JUDGE OF $10,000.
SO, UM, THE 20,000, THE 20,000 ASKS IS JUST A $10,000 CONTINGENCY TO GET US THROUGH THAT.
SO I WOULD ASK UNLESS THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS.
UH, IT'S JUST, IT'S JUST AN EXPENSE THAT'S OUT OF OUR CONTROL.
BRIANNA, YOU WANT TO ADD ANYTHING TO THAT? THANK YOU FOR WORKING WITH US ON IT.
SO THERE WILL BE A BUDGET ADJUSTMENT IF APPROVED THAT WOULD BE SUBMITTED IN THE NEXT COURT WHERE WE'LL BE ALLOCATING IT TO THE LINES BECAUSE FOR VISITING JUDGES, THERE'S A SALARY LINE FOR THEIR DAY RATE AND THEN IF THEY HAVE TRAVEL EXPENSES RELATED TO THAT, IT'S PAID IN ANOTHER LINE.
BUT, UM, IF APPROVED, THEN I WOULD ASK ALSO TO OVERRIDE THE BUDGET BEFORE, UM, THAT BUDGET ADJUSTMENT IS SUBMITTED BECAUSE, UM, THE ALMOST $10,000, UM, INVOICE THAT WAS RECEIVED WOULD BE PAYING THAT THROUGH PAYROLL.
AND SO WHEN WE PAY THAT, IT WOULD CAUSE THAT LINE TO GO OVER BUDGET.
WHERE'D THIS JUDGE COME FROM? HE WAS APPOINTED BY JUDGE HERMAN, WHO'S OVER PROBATE IN AUSTIN, WHO'S RESPONSIBLE FOR PROBATE IN THE STATE OF TEXAS, ONLY 254 COUNTIES.
AND SO WE COORDINATE WITH HIM ON A REGULAR BASIS.
UH, THERE WAS TWO JUDGES I BELIEVE THAT IT, IT, UH, WITHDREW, UH, GIVEN THE SEVERITY OR THE COMPLEXITY OF THE SITUATION.
AND SO HE APPOINTED SOMEBODY SPECIFICALLY TO COME IN AND GET THIS THING DONE.
AND THAT'S WHAT DREW OUT THE, THE COST OF THIS THING.
AND I BELIEVE THERE'S A COUPLE MORE IN THE QUEUE BEFORE YEAR END.
SO THAT'S WHERE THE ADDITIONAL UM, I THINK REQUEST FOR THE FUNDS.
WELL, WE DON'T, WE DON'T EXPECT IT TO GET TO THE 10, BUT YEAH, THAT'S A CONTINGENCY THAT IS THERE FOR US UNLESS, SO WE DON'T HAVE TO GO BACK TO YOU AGAIN.
AND USUALLY THAT LINE IS ONLY BUDGETED FOR 5,000.
SO GOING FORWARD AND WE DISCUSSED IN, YOU KNOW, NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET IS PROBABLY INCREASING THAT LINE TO COVER, YOU KNOW, ANY UNEXPECTED CUZ AS HE SAID, YOU, YOU DON'T KNOW WHEN THERE'S, THEY'RE GOING TO APPEAL, UM, THE CASE AND YOU KNOW TOTALLY HOW MANY DAYS IT'S GONNA GO AND THAT SORT OF THING.
SO THAT WAY, UM, IT WOULD BE COVERED GOING, GOING FORWARD WHEN, WHEN THEY REQUESTED TO GO TO STATUTORY, WE'RE OBLIGATED REQUIRED FOR THAT TO BE KICKED UP.
SO WHEN YOU SAY YEAR END, DO YOU MEAN CALENDAR OR FISCAL? FISCAL.
AND A LOT OF TIMES WHEN IT'S THE REQUEST IS MADE WHERE WE TRY TO WORK TOGETHER AND TRY TO NEGOTIATE THIS THING BEFORE IT GOES UP AND THEN STARTS INCURRING THE COST.
WE'VE BEEN VERY FORTUNATE OVER THE YEARS TO, TO DO THAT.
THIS WAS ONE OF 'EM NOT POSSIBLE.
SO I MOVE TO APPROVE ITEM SIX C AS PRESENTED A MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER CONLEY, UH, FOR APPROVAL.
UH, DO WE HAVE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND.
HA, IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THE ITEM BEFORE WE VOTE? ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.
[6.D. Approve budget transfer of $120,000.00 from general fund program contingencies to department 511, North Parker County Residential Disposal Center. (Commissioner Conley)]
APPROVED BUDGET TRANSFER OF 120,000 FROM GENERAL FUND PROGRAM CONTENTIONS DEPARTMENT FIVE 11 NORTH PARKER COUNTY RESIDENTIAL DISPOSAL CENTER.MS. FOWLER, YOU WANT TO COME UP ALSO AND TALK ABOUT THIS? YES.
UH, WE'RE AVERAGING 10 TO 15 DUMPSTERS A WEEK OUT OF THE NORTH DISPOSAL CENTER AND, AND WE NEED TO MOVE THIS MONEY CUZ WE'RE RUNNING OUTTA MONEY FOR THE DUMPSTER PART.
THAT'S WHAT WAS COMMUNICATED TO ME FROM YOUR OFFICE MANAGER.
AND SO WHAT I ASKED HER IS IF SHE COULD CALCULATE THROUGH THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR WHAT WOULD BE NEEDED, UM, TO COVER THE DEPARTMENT, RIGHT.
SO THAT WAY, UM, YOU ALL WOULDN'T HAVE TO COME BACK.
THAT'S WHERE WE COME UP WITH THIS.
AND THEN ALSO, UM, SINCE THE BUDGETS FOR FISCAL YEAR 24 HAVE BEEN, UM, SUBMITTED, I ALSO ASKED TO PLEASE GO AHEAD AND LOOK AT THOSE NUMBERS AND, UM, COMMUNICATE WHETHER THERE NEEDS TO BE ANY ADJUSTMENT FOR THAT.
COUNSELOR, YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD TO THIS OR NO? JUST GONNA BE A FINANCIAL DECISION FOR THE COURT TO MAKE.
RIGHT? I MOVE TO APPROVE SIX D AS PRESENTED.
COMMISSIONER CONLEY HAS MADE THE MOTION FOR APPROVAL.
DO WE HAVE A SECOND ON THE ITEM? I SECOND THE MOTION.
UH, SECOND HAS BEEN MADE BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN.
IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION BEFORE WE VOTE ALL ON PAPER? SAY AYE.
AND OBVIOUSLY IT WOULD BE A, YOU KNOW, DECISION OF THE COURT.
UM, BUT, AND I CAN PUT IT TOGETHER DURING BUDGET.
I KIND OF WAS JUST RUNNING NUMBERS, BUT LOOKING TO HAVE SEEN, YOU KNOW, WHAT REVENUE WE ARE BRINGING IN FROM THE DISPOSAL CENTERS VERSUS THE EXPENSES THAT WE'RE INCURRING RELATED TO IT.
SO IT MAY BE, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING THAT THE COURT WANTS TO
[00:45:01]
CONSIDER OF, YOU KNOW, WHAT WE'RE CHARGING VERSUS, YOU KNOW, WHAT WE'RE INCURRING FOR THE DISPOSAL CENTERS.SO, UM, AGAIN, DURING THE BUDGET PROCESS, THAT MAY BE SOMETHING THAT I WOULD RECOMMEND THE COURT TO LOOK AT BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, AS WE STARTED IT AND, YOU KNOW, AS IT'S GAINED POPULARITY AND EVERYTHING, YOU KNOW, JUST AGAIN LOOKING AT AT THE COST VERSUS, YOU KNOW, WHAT WE'RE, WHAT WE'RE BRINGING IN.
SO WE'RE, UH, WE'RE GETTING HUNDREDS A DAY AT THE, THE NORTH DISPOSAL CENTER AND, AND WE HAVE RECORDS OF ALL THE, THE MONIES THAT'S COMING IN AND WHAT WE'RE SPENDING.
SO DURING THE BUDGET, WE'LL BRING ALL THAT UP JUST OUTTA YEAH, IT MAY BE A GOOD IDEA TO, TO LOOK AT THAT AGAIN.
[6.E. Approval of application from Parker County Special Utility District to lay and maintain a utility line through, under, along, across, or over the right-of-way on Big Valley Circle in Precmct Three. (Commissioner Walden)]
MOVE TO ITEM ME ON APPROVAL OF APPLICATION FROM PARKER COUNTY SPECIAL UTILITY DISTRICT TO LAY AND MAINTAIN A UTILITY LINE THROUGH UNDER A, ALONG ACROSS OR OVER THE RIGHT OF WAY ON BIG VALLEY CIRCLE AND PRECINCT THREE.UH, COMMISSIONER PARK COUNTY S U D HAS SUBMITTED THE APPROPRIATE PAPERWORK FOR THE, UH, TABOR UNDER THE ROAD AT 1275 BIG VALLEY CIRCLE, LIVE HAND, TEXAS, THEY ARE A UTILITY IS RECOGNIZED AS UTILITY BY THE STATE OF TEXAS.
I MOVE TO APPROVE THAT ITEM MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN FOR APPROVAL.
UH, DO WE HAVE A SECOND? SECOND.
IS THERE ANY OF THE DISCUSSION BEFORE VOTE? ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.
ADAM, METH ON REIMBURSEMENT TO
[6.F. Reimbursement to Precinct 4 for work performed on the East Annex parking lot. (Commissioner Hale)]
PRECINCT FOUR FOR WORK PERFORMED ON THE EAST ANNEX PARKING LOT.UH, COMMISSIONER HILL YOU HAVE? YEAH, WE, UH, WE PERFORMED CONSTRUCTION ON THE PARKING LOT THERE TO FINISH UP THAT FACILITY.
THAT WAS PART OF AN AGREEMENT THAT WAS IN PLACE WHEN I TOOK THE, THE POSITION.
SO WE COMPLETED ALL THAT WORK.
WE HAD SOME ADDITIONAL CHALLENGES AND HAD TO ADD SOME FRENCH DRAINS AND THINGS THAT WERE NOT ANTICIPATED, BUT HERE'S THE NUMBERS ON IT AND, AND, UH, WE'RE SUBMITTING THAT FOR THE WAY THAT THE, I DON'T KNOW IF, IF BRIANNA WANTS TO, WANTS TO MENTION
UH, SO THE TOTAL THAT WAS SUBMITTED, UH, FOR REIMBURSEMENT IS 45,736.
AND SO AT A PRIOR COURT, UM, BEFORE THIS WORK WAS STARTED, THE COURT DID AUTHORIZE PRECINCT FOUR TO DO, UM, THE WORK TO COMPLETE THE, UM, PARKING LOT.
UM, AND AGAIN, BECAUSE ROAD AND BRIDGE IS COMPLETING THIS WORK, AND THIS IS WOULD BE A GENERAL FUND ITEM, THEN, YOU KNOW, IT CANNOT BE COVERED BY PRECINCT FOUR.
AND SO THE GENERAL FUND WOULD HAVE TO, UM, REIMBURSE.
AND SO AT THAT TIME, UM, THERE WAS THE APPROVAL THAT THE FUNDS WOULD BE COMING FROM A GENERAL FUND AS A TRANSFER TO THE CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND.
UM, AND SO I WILL WORK WITH KIM TO SEE WHETHER WE NEED TO MOVE THAT FULL AMOUNT FROM THE GENERAL FUND OR BASED ON WHERE WE'RE AT WITH THE COURTHOUSE, INTERIOR REPAIRS AND, UM, ALL THE FINAL EXPENSES THAT WE HAD FOR THE EAST ANNEX, WHETHER WE WOULD NEED TO MOVE THAT ENTIRE AMOUNT FROM GENERAL FUND OR IF THERE'S, YOU KNOW, ANY ADDITIONAL FUNDS LEFT IN, UM, THE TAX NOTE THAT WOULD BE ABLE TO COVER THAT PARKING LOT.
AND SO I CAN UPDATE YOU GUYS AS WE, YOU KNOW, DO THAT.
BUT AGAIN, UH, JUST THE APPROVAL OF THAT AND FOR THE WHOLE AMOUNT TO COME FROM THE GENERAL FUND IN THE EVENT THAT THERE'S NOT FUNDS LEFT IN CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND TO PAY FOR IT.
SO I WANNA MAKE THE MOTION TO APPROVE MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER HILL FOR APPROVAL, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER CONLEY.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL OF FAVOR SAY AYE.
[6.G. Discuss/Take action on purchase and potential uses of property located at 801 Santa Fe Drive, Weatherford, TX 76086. (Judge Deen)]
TAKE ACTION ON PURCHASE AND POTENTIAL USE OF PROPERTY LOCATED AT 8 0 1 SANTA FE DRIVE, WEATHERFORD, TEXAS 76,086.THIS IS THE WEATHERFORD PD, UH, AS DIRECTED BY THE COURT.
UH, WE HAVE GONE THROUGH AND LOOKED AT DEPARTMENTS SPECIFICALLY, UH, THOSE THAT MAY HAVE SPACE ISSUES.
UH, WE HAVE BEEN FAIRLY THOROUGH WITH THAT, OR I WOULD SAY THOROUGH WITH THAT, INTERVIEWING DEPARTMENTS FOR, UH, ASSESSMENT OF NEEDS TO GO INTO THIS BUILDING AND WHO WOULD BE MAKE SENSE FOR THAT TO HAPPEN.
UH, ONE OF THE THINGS WE'RE LOOKING AT, WE DON'T HAVE TO TAKE ACTION ON THIS TODAY, IT CERTAINLY, I MEAN, PUTTING CART IN FRONT OF THE HORSE, BUT AT LEAST A WORKING PLAN OF THIS WOULD BE, UM, ELECTIONS WE TALKED ABOUT.
THEY HAVE SEVEN EMPLOYEES AND WE HAVE MET OVER THERE WITH THESE DEPARTMENTS.
UH, THE, SO WITH, UH, SHERIFF AFI MEAD OVER THERE AS WELL, I BELIEVE HE HAS SEVEN OF THE DETECTIVES THAT NEED A PLACE THAT WOULD FIT.
UH, WE HAVE IDENTIFIED THAT AS A, AS A WORKING PLAN.
UH, ALSO, UH, JUVENILE HAS, UH, 12 EMPLOYEES WHO ARE CURRENTLY OCCUPIES THE BUILDING THAT'S BEHIND THE AG CENTER, UH, IS EXCEEDING SPACE THAT THEY'RE IN.
AND SO THOSE DEPARTMENTS COULD EASILY GO INTO THAT BUILDING.
[00:50:01]
WOULD THEN, IF, IF, IF JUVENILE DID GO INTO THAT BUILDING, THEN IT WOULD OPEN UP FOR PERMITTING, WHICH HAS, I BELIEVE, SEVEN EMPLOYEES THAT WOULD BE ABLE TO THEN TRANSITION FROM A VERY CHALLENGING LOCATION, UH, INTO THAT BUILDING OF WHICH THEY HAVE, HAVE GONE THROUGH AND SURVEYED.AND THAT WOULD FIT THEM ACTUALLY BE LIKE TOSH MAHAL TO THEM WHERE THEY'RE AT CURRENTLY.
SO THAT'S KIND OF A WORKING PLAN THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT.
UH, SO WE, WE HAVE IDENTIFIED A NEED, UH, FROM THESE DEPARTMENTS THAT THAT WOULD BE A FIT.
UM, AND THEN, UH, COUNSELOR IF YOU WOULD, IF YOU WOULD ADDRESS THIS SITUATION AS WE'RE CURRENTLY, AS WE TALK TO JAMES HOK, IF YOU WOULD, REGARDING THE LEASE AND THEN KIND OF WHERE WE ARE AS WE GET AND START TRANSITION INTO THIS.
SO WE, WE HAVE HAD DISCUSSIONS WITH THE CITY AND CURRENTLY IN THIS FISCAL YEAR, WE'RE UNABLE TO PURCHASE ANYTHING OUTRIGHT WITH, BECAUSE WE DID NOT BUDGET FOR IT.
SO AT THIS POINT WE WOULD LOOK AT GETTING A LEASE AND THAT WOULD ALLOW US TO MOVE FORWARD WITH GETTING A DESIGN AND GETTING PLANS, GETTING INDIVIDUALS MOVED IN, UH, SINCE WE DO HAVE THOSE NEEDS CURRENTLY.
AND THEN WE WOULD EXECUTE A SALES CONTRACT THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR, WHICH WOULD BE OCTOBER ONE, BE A DOLLAR A YEAR, THE COURT AS COURT CHOOSES TO, TO PURCHASE THAT.
AND THAT WOULD BE A DOLLAR A YEAR LEASE ESSENTIALLY, IS WHAT IT WOULD BE.
BASICALLY PRE, SO, AND IF THE COURT DOES AGREE TO THIS, UH, THEN WHAT WE WOULD DO THEN IS LOOK AT HAVING AN ARCHITECT COME IN AND THEN DO AN ASSESSMENT OF WHAT THAT BUILDING WOULD NEED TO, THERE WOULD BE SOME MODERATE RENOVATIONS REQUIRED TO ACCOMMODATE THESE DEPARTMENTS, UH, THAT HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS REQUESTED BY THE COURT.
UH, THAT WOULD NEED TO BE, WHICH WOULD BE AN ARCHITECT THAT WOULD HAVE TO COME IN AND LOOK AT WHAT THAT DESIGN WOULD BE TO GET THESE DEPARTMENTS TO FIT IN THERE.
BUT, UH, THERE WOULD BE NEED TO BE CHANGES INTO THAT.
IT DOES ACCOMMODATE THOSE THAT WE DID MENTION, UH, QUITE WELL ACTUALLY.
UM, SO IT JUST THE DIRECTION OF THE COURT NOW THAT WE WANT TO GO AHEAD AND PUT ON THE NEXT AGENDA IF WE WANT TO GO OUT AND GET AN ARCHITECT TO, UH, WHETHER WE GO OUT FOR BID OR THAT, OR GET AN ARCHITECT TO LOOK AT WHAT AND DO AN ASSESSMENT OF WHAT THOSE NEEDS ARE, THAT WOULD BE THE NEXT STEP AS WE PROCEED FURTHER.
I RECALL FROM THE PREVIOUS CONVERSATION WITH IT THAT, UH, THERE WOULD BE A SIGNIFICANT SAVINGS TO US FROM UTILIZING THE TOWERS THERE.
AM I HEARING THAT RIGHT? RADIO, RADIO TOWER.
UH, THAT FACILITY DOES HAVE A, UH, DEDICATED RADIO ROOM FOR THE RADIO EQUIPMENT THAT DOES BELONG TO PARKER COUNTY.
UM, AND IT WOULD BE VERY NICE IF WE COULD GET THAT ROOM SECURED.
UM, SO WE COULD RETAIN THAT EQUIPMENT THERE, THERE WILL BE SOME SAVINGS, UH, POTENTIAL SAVINGS BECAUSE WE WILL NOT NEED TO MOVE THAT EQUIPMENT FROM THAT TOWER TO A WEATHERFORD TOWER.
I HAVE, I ALREADY HAVE HAD DISCUSSIONS WITH THE COG WHO ACTUALLY OWNS THAT TOWER AND THEY HAVE A DESIRE FOR US TO MAINTAIN THAT TOWER AND KEEP EQUIPMENT ON IT.
SO THEY'RE VERY HAPPY THAT, THAT THE COURT, UH, POTENTIALLY WILL GET THAT BUILDING.
SO THE, UH, CENTRAL NORTH CENTRAL TEXAS COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS CAN KEEP THAT EQUIPMENT THERE.
DO YOU HAVE AN ESTIMATE OF THE SAVINGS? UH, ABOUT $30,000.
HOW TALL IS THAT TOWER? UH, 75 FOOT AND IT, WE'RE NOT GONNA HAVE TO ADD IT ON AND NOPE.
BUT THAT WOULDN'T COST US, WOULD IT? IF IT HAD TO BE ADDED ON TO THE, THE, IT, IT WOULD COST US IF WE NEEDED TO ADD, UH, HEIGHT TO THAT TOWER.
IT'S NOT ANTICIPATED THAT ANY HEIGHT WOULD NEED TO BE ADDED TO THAT TOWER.
IT'S GREAT THE WAY IT IS AND I, I I WOULD ASK THE COURT IF, IF DECISIONS ARE MADE AS FAR AS ALLOCATIONS FOR THAT BUILDING THAT WE CONSIDER, UH, THAT, THAT RADIO ROOM TO BE, UH, KEPT AND MAINTAINED AS A RADIO ROOM.
JAMES, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING YOU WANNA ADD TO THIS? OKAY, JUST, JUST ASK, JUST, JUST ASK HIM.
YOU HAVE OUR REQUEST THERE FOR A SMALL PORTION OF THAT AS WELL, AND IF WE ARE ALLOTTED THAT, UM, WE HAVE INVESTIGATORS IN THREE BUILDINGS IN THIS COUNTY, UH, ONE OF THE BUILDINGS WHERE WE HAVE A UNIT WE WILL NO LONGER NEED.
SO IF, IF WE GET THIS REQUEST, WE'LL BE ABLE TO ABANDON THAT OTHER FACILITY, WHICH IS, UH, COUNTY OWNED AS WELL.
AND YOU'VE TOURED THAT WITH US, UH, THIS PAST WEEK.
UM, SO THAT ASSESSMENT OF THAT SPACE, WOULD THAT MEET YOUR NEED IN THERE? AND OBVIOUSLY THERE'D BE A REDESIGN OF IT, BUT THAT SPACE, THE SQUARE FOOTAGE, WE WOULD JUST NEED TO ADD A DOOR, UH, SECURE ACCESS DOOR.
IT, IT WOULD SUIT OUR NEEDS VERY WELL.
[00:55:01]
VERY WELL.ALL RIGHT, SO LET'S REVIEW THE, THE COST THAT OF THE BUILDING.
JOHN, WHAT'S THE TOTAL COST THEY GET ON THE TIP OF THEIR TONGUE? SO ON THE PURCHASE IT WAS 2.7, 2.7 AND, UH, SQUARE FOOTAGE IS 14,000, ROUGHLY 14,000 SOMETHING SQUARE FEET.
UM, I GUESS THE, UH, THE UNKNOWN OUT THERE IS, UH, THE COST TO PUT IT IN SHAPE TO BE USED.
AND, UH, IT'S KIND OF THE SITUATION THAT WE SOMETIMES GET IN.
NOW YOU'VE APPROVED THIS, WE NEED, YOU KNOW, 2 MILLION MORE DOLLARS FOR, FOR THE RENOVATIONS.
SO I DON'T KNOW HOW WE CAN, AND, UH, YOU KNOW, HOW WE CAN ESTIMATE WHAT THAT COST WOULD BE AHEAD OF TIME.
WE CAN ACTUALLY GET ANYTHING HAS TO COME.
ANYTHING OF THAT NATURE HAS TO COME BEFORE THIS COURT.
AND, UH, UH, I'M, I'M TRYING TO AVOID THE PITFALL THAT WE'VE HAD IN TIMES PAST OF, NOW YOU BOUGHT THIS, I NEED THE, I NEED THE TIRES AND WHEELS FOR IT NOW TOO.
COMMISSIONER, WE, WE, WE GET AN ARCHITECT THAT THEY COULD COME IN AND DO AN ASSESSMENT AND THEN PROVIDE AN ESTIMATED COST OF WHAT THAT WOULD BE HERE FAIRLY QUICKLY.
SO, UM, WHAT'S THE, UH, TIMEFRAME THAT WE NEED TO BE WORKING IN HERE? BECAUSE WE'RE, WE'RE AT JUNE CURRENT, CURRENTLY WE'RE, WE'RE LOOKING AT WHAT THAT LEASE WOULD ENTAIL.
SO THE CITY'S GONNA HAVE TO TAKE ACTION AT CITY COUNCIL, RIGHT.
AND AT THAT POINT, ONCE THEY DO TAKE ACTION, THEN WE COULD LEASE THAT THEY, THEY'D HAVE TO WRITE THE SPECS SO THAT WE COULD DO THAT.
AND THEN SUBSEQUENTLY WE WOULD DEFINITELY NEED TO DISCUSS WHETHER WE WANT THE BUDGET FOR THE PURCHASE OF THAT BUILDING.
SO WOULD IT BE ACCEPTABLE IN YOUR, UH, IN YOUR THOUGHTS TO APPROVE THE LEASE NOW? ABSOLUTELY.
AS SOON AS THE CITY ALLOWS US, US TO DO SO.
I'M GONNA MOVE THAT WE APPROVE THE LEASE WITH THE CITY OF WEATHERFORD FOR 8 0 1 SANTA FE WITH THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS TO BE OUTLINED BY THE COUNTY ATTORNEY.
UH, THE MOTION IS MADE BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN, UH, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER CONLEY.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM BEFORE WE VOTE? ALL THE PAPERS SAY AYE.
IS THERE ANY WAY THAT WE CAN GO AHEAD AND A AUTHORIZE THAT TO POST OR ADVERTISE FOR THE RFQ? SURE.
AND THAT GETS THE BALL RUNNING AND AT LEAST START THE PROCESS.
JUST TO CLARIFY, THAT'S NOT SPECIFIC ON THE AGENDA.
DOES THAT NEED TO BE, UH, SPECIFIC ON THE AGENDA BEFORE WE DO IT? IT DOES.
UH, WE WILL PUT ON THE NEXT AGENDA OR A SPECIAL MEETING, WHATEVER IT TAKES TO DO THAT.
SO NOT ADDING THAT TO THIS MEETING? NO, WE CAN'T, NOT THE AGENDA.
[6.H. Approval to add TAC Worker's Compensation Insurance for Interns at $27/yr. (Kim Rivas / Judge Deen)]

WEATHERFORD COLLEGE STUDENT PERFORMING INTERNAL WORK FOR PARKER COUNTY IT DEPARTMENT UNDER THE DIRECTION OF IT.AND TAKE ANY ACTION AS NECESSARY.
UH, YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT THIS? WE WE'RE JUST, UH, NOTIFYING THAT WE ARE UTILIZING AN AGREEMENT WITH WEATHER FOR COLLEGE TO, UH, HAVE INTERNS.
WE HAVE A FIRST ONE THROUGH SUMMER WHEN THE ONLY COST NOW IT JUST CAME UP WAS, UH, HAD TO DO THE $27 A YEAR.
I KNOW WHETHER WE NEED TO ASK OR NOT, BUT, UH, I MOVED TO AUTHORIZE, UH, UH, IT DEPARTMENT TO UTILIZE INTERNS FROM WEATHERFORD COLLEGE.
WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND DISCUSSION.
ALL IN FAVOR? I HAVE A DISCUSSION.
I THINK YOU ACTUALLY HAVE TO SIGN SOMETHING CORRECT WITH THE INTERN.
A DOCUMENT FOR THEM AGREEMENT.
SO I WOULD SAY FOR THE COURT TO GIVE HIM APPROVAL TO SIGN THAT SINCE, AND WE HAD TALKED ABOUT POSSIBLY HAVING, YOU KNOW, THE JUDGE'S
[01:00:01]
SIGNATURE AND JAMES' CUZ THEY DO WANT THE DEPARTMENT HEAD OF WHOEVER'S SUPERVISING THEM.UM, AND THEN THE ONLY FINANCIAL COST THAT IT LOOKED LIKE ASSOCIATED WITH THAT AGREEMENT WAS PROVIDING THE WORKER'S COMP, WHICH WE COVERED IN THE PRIOR AGENDA ITEM.
BUT AGAIN, THE ACTION I WOULD SAY TO TAKE IS FOR THE APPROVAL FOR JAMES TO SIGN IT AND THEN POSSIBLY, UM, THE JUDGE ADDED AT TO THAT AGREEMENT WITH WEATHERFORD COLLEGE.
MR. HOLT, SIGN A SECOND OF THE MOTION.

WHAT THIS DOES, IT DOUBLES THE PRECINCT BARNS DATA AND WE'RE DROPPING DOWN FROM ABOUT $1,300 A MONTH TO ABOUT $800 A MONTH NOW FOR INTERNET HERE AT, I MEAN AT THE ANNEX.

JOHN AND, UH, I, I HAVE LISA MEK HERE WITH ME, SO I WAS GONNA HAVE HER GIVE THE PRESENTATION.
UH, WHAT THIS PROGRAM WOULD DO, WE'RE GONNA WORK IN CONJUNCTION WITH WEATHERFORD COLLEGE.
UH, IT WOULD ALLOW FOR US TO HAVE TRAINING ON ASSAULT FAMILY VIOLENCE.
WE HOPE THAT IT WOULD IMPROVE OFFICER'S KNOWLEDGE IN THE FIELD AND MAKE THEM MORE EFFICIENT AT THEIR JOBS.
AND ALSO ALLOW ALL INDIVIDUALS AT THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT, OUR OFFICE, ANY LAW ENFORCEMENT TO COME UP THERE AND GET FREE TCO HOURS.
SO WE'RE GETTING THAT CERTIFIED AS WELL.
AND I'LL LET, UH, LISA SAY A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THAT IN DETAIL.
UM, WE HAVE AN AMAZING OPPORTUNITY, OBVIOUSLY WE ALSO HAVE A NECESSITY TOO TO KEEP OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT AS AS WELL TRAINED AS POSSIBLE.
AND, AND AS WE CONTINUE TO GROW OUR NEEDS FOR ADVANCED TRAINING, ESPECIALLY IN THE AREAS OF THE, OF FAMILY VIOLENCE ARE CRUCIAL.
AND, UM, WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO BRING IN TWO SEASONED SPEAKERS, TRAINERS TO DO THIS FOR US.
UM, ONE OF THOSE BEING MARK WYNN, HE'S NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED.
UM, HE JUST COMPLETED A, A BIG STINT FOR THE CRIMES AGAINST WOMEN CONFERENCE IN DALLAS.
UM, IF ANY OF YOU FOLLOW THE NEWS, THAT'S A PRETTY BIG ONE.
UM, ALSO WE HAVE STEPHANIE KEGLEY THAT IS PART OF THE PUT ME FIRST FOUNDATION AND, UM, THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE THESE PEOPLE HERE AND HELP US ENHANCE OUR TRAINING AND GIVE LAW ENFORCEMENT FREE TRAINING WITH EIGHT T FULL HOURS.
THAT'S ALMOST HALF OF THEIR REQUIREMENT, RIGHT? ANNUALLY.
SO, UM, WE WOULD LIKE TO MAKE THIS A REGULAR THING AND IT'S GONNA BE EXCITING FOR ALL OF US.
SO, AND CURRENTLY WE'RE GETTING ABOUT
[01:05:01]
PROBABLY 120 PROTECTIVE ORDERS EVERY, EVERY YEAR.AND THAT NUMBER'S JUST INCREASING.
AND SO WE'VE ACTUALLY DONE OVER A HUNDRED PROTECTIVE ORDERS SINCE LAST OCTOBER.
HOW ARE YOU ABLE TO GET THESE SPEAKERS IN? YOU KNOW WHAT, I JUST
WELL, I JUST, I I WENT THROUGH THE PEOPLE THAT I'VE EITHER HEARD AT TRAININGS THAT I'VE BEEN FORTUNATE TO GO TO OR THAT I'VE HEARD ABOUT, AND I CALLED HIM, I JUST CALLED HIM UP AND HE WAS, HE WAS VERY, VERY WILLING, VERY ANXIOUS.
HE GAVE US A, A, A QUOTE FOR A HEAVILY DISCOUNTED FEE COMPARED TO WHAT HE WOULD NORMALLY CHARGE SOMEBODY LIKE DALLAS OR, OR THE BIGGER, BECAUSE HE STRONGLY FEELS FOR, FOR WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO HERE.
AND, AND I THINK THAT JOHN IS LOOKING AT WANTING TO MAKE THIS ANNUAL, YOU KNOW, TO CONTINUE THIS.
AND SO, UM, YEAH, I CALLED HIM UP AND YOU'RE A SMOOTH TALKER, RIGHT? HE JUST TALKED TO ME.
I CAN BUG HIM WHEN I HAVE A QUESTION.
AND THESE CASES ALSO IMPACT THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY.
SO JEFF, WAYNE, THIS WILL HELP THEIR CASES AS WELL.
WE JUST WANNA MORE DETAILED SO WHEN WE DO GO TO COURT, WE HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION.
WE, WE NEED TO PROCEED WITH A CONVICTION ON THESE INDIVIDUALS.
YEAH, WELL CONGRATULATIONS FOR YOU.
SO HERE'S THE BOTTOM LINE, WHAT'S THE COST AND WHO'S PAYING FOR IT? YEAH, JOHN.
UH, HE HAS GIVEN US A QUOTE OF $2,500 AND HE'LL BE THERE ALL DAY.
HE WILL TRAIN ALL DAY LONG FOR WHATEVER WE WANT HIM TO DO.
AND, AND THE ACTUAL SPECIFICS, WE STILL ARE WORKING A LITTLE BIT OF THAT OUT BECAUSE I DEFINITELY WANT JOHN TO HAVE AS MANY PEOPLE THERE AS POSSIBLE.
BUT STEPHANIE KEGLEY IS GONNA BE IMPORTANT TOO.
AND, AND SHE IS NOT CHARGING A FEE FOR HER SERVICES.
SHE DOESN'T TRAVEL IN ACROSS THE COUNTRY QUITE AS MUCH AS HE DOES, BUT, UH, IT'LL BE $2,500 TO BRING HIM IN AND, UM, WE'LL HAVE TO GIVE HIM A PLANE TICKET.
AND I THINK I'VE JUST ABOUT GOT THE MOTEL TALKED INTO DOING THE ROOM FOR FREE.
SO IT'LL BE APPROXIMATELY $3,000.
AND IT IS, IT IS IN OUR LINE AND WE HAVE IT IN OUR THAT, THAT'S THE COST AND IT IS IN OUR LINE.
WE'LL TRANSFER THAT IN FOR TRAINING.
OH, COMMISSIONER CONLEY HAS SECONDED THE MOTION.
IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.
[6.M. Review the amendment for the La Salle Contract and take any action the court deems necessary. (John Forrest / Judge Deen)]
REVIEW THE AMENDMENT FOR THE LASALLE CONTRACT AND TAKE ANY ACTION IN THE COURT DEEMS NECESSARY, JOHN.AND THERE HAVE BEEN COST INCREASE AND WE NO LONGER ARE HOUSING FEDERAL INMATES AND SO THAT DID CAUSE CAUSE OUR COSTS TO INCREASE SUBSTANTIALLY.
I'LL LET HIM SPEAK TO THIS ISSUE AS WELL, BUT I BELIEVE YOU HAVE THE AMENDMENT TO THAT CONTRACT.
I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW WHETHER WHO WANNA SPEAK ON THE SAL'S BEHALF, BUT I, I KNOW, UM, THE CONTRACT INCREASE THEY HAD BEFORE, UH, THEY RAISED THEIR, UM, I GUESS WAGES ON THEIR, THEIR GUARDS 20% AND I KNOW THEY'RE GONNA DO THAT AGAIN COME OCTOBER.
I KNOW THAT'S WHERE A HUGE, HUGE EXPENSE IS.
AND OF COURSE THE PRICE OF FOOD AND GAS AND EVERYTHING ELSE WE KNOW HAS GONE UP AS WELL.
UH, THEY'RE DOING A GREAT JOB.
WE'RE STILL WAY UNDER, I THINK THE RATES, THE GOING RATES AROUND THE STATE.
IN FACT, WE HAVE SOME MOUS WITH SOME OTHER COUNTIES, UH, DENTON COUNTY BEING ONE, UH, WORKING ON I THINK TARRANT COUNTY, UH, HOOD COUNTY.
WE HAVE AN AGREEMENT IN CORYELL COUNTY AND THOSE ARE ALL FOR 92 50 PER DAY IS WHAT WE'RE CHARGING.
IN FACT, WE HAVE ABOUT 20 DENTON COUNTY INMATES IN OUR JAIL RIGHT NOW.
THEY HAVE FOUR OR 500 EMPTY BEDS, BUT THEY DON'T HAVE THE STAFF TO MAN THEIR FACILITY.
SO, SO IT'S HUGE AND, AND I KNOW THE COST OF THESE EMPLOYEES IS GREAT AND THAT'S WHERE MOST OF THIS MONEY IS GONNA GO BACK TO.
SO IF I HAVE A SAY, AND I KNOW I DON'T, BUT, UH, I, I THINK IT'S, WE'RE STILL GONNA BE WAY UNDER THE MARKET WITH, EVEN IF YOU DO APPROVE THIS ADDENDUM AND RUSS CA, MARK ARNETTE HAD CALCULATED THE COST IF WE WERE TO ASSUME OPERATIONS OF THAT GEL AND IS THAT A HIGHER NUMBER TO OPERATE OURSELVES OR A LOWER NUMBER? IT, IT WOULD BE A LOT IF YOU'D PROBABLY ADD 2 MILLION TO THAT IF WE TOOK IT OVER RIGHT NOW.
AND SO PER INMATE PER DAY, IT WOULD BE A HIGHER NUMBER, COULD BE WAY HIGHER.
MAKE THE MOTION THAT WE APPROVE ITEM M.
[01:10:01]
JUST TO, JUST FOR CLARIFICATION OF WHAT THE CHANGES ARE, HOLD ON.WE HAVE A MOTION, UH, BY COMMISSION.
DO WE HAVE A SECOND? SECOND, SECOND, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER CONLEY.
SO IT WOULD BE EFFECTIVE OCTOBER ONE.
UM, THE RATE FOR PERDIUM HEADCOUNT, UM, PER INMATE PER DAY WOULD BE 61 50.
AGAIN, THAT'D BE EFFECTIVE OCTOBER ONE, WHICH IS A 20% INCREASE.
UM, THE OTHER RATE CHANGES THAT ARE BEING, UH, REQUESTED ARE FOR, UH, HOSPITAL GUARD DUTY.
SO IF YOU HAVE AN INMATE IN, UM, THE HOSPITAL, UH, IT REQUIRES GUARD DUTY.
AND SO FOR THE FIRST 48 HOURS IN THE CURRENT CONTRACT, IT'S $22 AND THEN AFTER THAT 48 HOUR PERIOD, IT INCREASES TO 33.
UM, SO THEY'RE REQUESTING THAT RATE AGAIN OCTOBER ONE TO GO TO $27 FOR THE FIRST 48 HOURS AND THEN $36, UM, OVER THAT 48 HOUR PERIOD, WHICH IS A 23% AND 9% INCREASE RESPECTIVELY.
UM, AGAIN, THOSE WOULD ALL BE EFFECTIVE OCTOBER ONE.
UH, ONE THING THAT, UH, WOULD BE EFFECTIVE PRIOR TO THAT, UM, WHICH WE HAD ASKED TO GO BACK TO FEBRUARY 1ST, WOULD BE IF WE'RE HOUSING OUTSIDE INMATES, UH, THERE'S A CLAUSE IN THERE THAT WE RETAIN $5 ON THAT.
SO AS THE SHERIFF SPOKE, UM, FOR THE DENTON COUNTY INMATES, THEY, UH, DENTON COUNTY REIMBURSES US 92 50.
UM, THE RATE THAT WE PAY LASAL FOR THOSE INMATES IS 87 50.
AND SO THAT $5, UM, THAT WE WOULD BE RETAINING BASICALLY GOES TO COVER COSTS OF, UM, MAINTAINING THE GEL.
SO WHETHER THAT BE HVAC OR GENERATORS AND THOSE TYPE OF THINGS, IT WOULD BE TO COVER, COVER THAT COST.
AND THIS IS WITHIN THE PARAMETERS OF THE STATUTORY LIMITS FOR AN INCREASE ON A CURRENT CONTRACT.
AND I'LL LET KIM SPEAK TO THIS NEXT PART BECAUSE, UH, THE MODIFICATION ALSO CHANGES THE TERM OF THE CONTRACT, WHICH IS VERY IMPORTANT AND WHAT WOULD HAVE TO TRANSPIRE AFTER THAT.
BUT I'LL LET KIM SPEAK TO THAT.
SO THE ORIGINAL CONTRACT WAS FOR NINE YEARS AND UH, WITH THE INCREASE THIS FIRST YEAR OF 20%, OBVIOUSLY WE CANNOT GO OVER 25% INCREASE ON THE LIFETIME OF A CONTRACT.
SO WE'VE MADE THE MODIFICATION OR THE ADDENDUM ADDENDUM TO CHANGE THIS FIRST YEAR, WHICH WILL END THE CONTRACT ON, UM, JULY 31ST, 2024.
AND THEN NEXT SUMMER WE WILL ISSUE AN RFP TO REDO, UM, GO BACK OUT FOR BID AND HOPEFULLY THE RATES WILL KIND OF EVEN OUT WHERE WE CAN OR INCLUDE A CLAUSE IN THE, IN THE CONTRACT THAT WOULD ALLOW FOR A HIGHER INCREASE EACH YEAR THAN WHAT THE CPI WAS FOR THIS.
SO IT IT IS GOING FROM A NINE-YEAR TO A TWO YEAR NOW.
DO WE HAVE, ARE, ARE THOSE CONTRACTS REGARDING LIKE THE AGREEMENTS WE HAVE WITH THE OTHER COUNTIES FOR HOUSING THEM? DO, WHEN, WHEN DO THOSE CONTRACTS, WOULD WE HAVE TO POSSIBLY RENEGOTIATE WITH THEM, YOU KNOW, IF WE'RE TAKING RATE INCREASES FROM LASALLE, ARE WE ABLE TO DO THAT WITH THESE OTHER COUNTIES THAT WE HAVE AGREEMENTS WITH? UH, I THINK THAT CAN BE DONE AT ANY TIME.
THERE'S USUALLY 30 DAY OUTS OR 60 DAY OUTS ON BOTH SIDES AND THAT MIGHT BE A JOHN FOREST QUESTION.
THERE, BUT I KNOW WITH THE CURRENT DENTON COUNTY ONE, IT SAYS THAT IF THERE'S ANY SORT OF INCREASES IT ON AN ANNUAL BASIS MM-HMM
AND SO AGAIN, AS LONG AS WE ARE NOT CHANGING THE TERMS OF THE LASALLE CONTRACT, WHAT WE'RE PAYING DURING THE YEAR AND LINING IT UP WITH OUR FISCAL YEAR, THEN WE'D NEED TO LOOK AT ALL THOSE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENTS AND ENSURING THAT WE'RE MAKING THOSE RATE MODIFICATIONS AND GIVING THEM THE TIME ALSO, YOU KNOW, TO BUDGET FOR THAT.
SO, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, IF THERE WOULD BE ANY CHANGES IN OTHER ONES, THEN WE WOULD WANNA GO AHEAD AND LET THOSE, YOU KNOW, COUNTIES KNOW NOW SO THAT WAY THEY CAN PLAN AND BUDGET AS THEY'RE GOING THROUGH THEIR BUDGET PROCESS.
BUT, BUT ALSO BACK TO YOUR QUESTION, COMMISSIONER, AT ANY TIME THERE IS AN INCREASE YET, WE WILL PASS THAT ON TO THEM AND OF COURSE WE WILL WITHHOLD $5 AT, AT A MINIMUM JUST FOR SOME OF THE WEAR AND TEAR ON THE FACILITY PAYING AND WHAT HAVE YOU.
WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.
IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? JUST, JUST A WORD THAT IN, IN DISCUSSIONS WITH THE, THE ADMINISTRATORS AT THE JAIL, UH, THEY'RE HAVING DIFFICULTY GETTING EMPLOYEES AND, AND CERTAINLY HAVING DIFFICULTY IN KEEPING EMPLOYEES AND, UH, WHEN THEY CAN, UH, GET A JOB SOMEWHERE ELSE IN TOWN MAKING MORE MONEY THAN, THAN THAT EMPLOYMENT, THEN IT, IT, IT'S MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO KEEP THOSE EMPLOYEES.
[01:15:01]
MAJORITY OF THIS MONEY WILL BE GOING IS TO GET THOSE SALARIES UP TO A LEVEL THAT UH, YOU CAN'T MAKE MORE MONEY, UH, AT A FAST FOOD RESTAURANT THAN YOU CAN WORKING IN JAIL.I THINK IT'S, UH, WORTH NOTING THAT THIS IS A CONSTITUTIONAL MANDATE ON THE COUNTY FOR US TO EITHER PROVIDE THIS SERVICE OURSELVES OR TO OUTSOURCE IT TO A THIRD PARTY LIKE LASAL.
AND IF I'M HEARING THE SHERIFF CORRECTLY, IF WE WERE TO TAKE THIS ON OURSELVES, WE'RE LOOKING AT MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF EXTRA EXPENSE.
AND SO WHILE I'M CERTAINLY NOT A FAN OF AN INCREASE LIKE THIS AT ALL, WE'RE STILL FAR BELOW A WHAT OTHER MARKETS ARE CHARGING AND B FAR, FAR BELOW WHAT WE WOULD INCUR OURSELVES TO DO THIS.
SO I THINK THAT'S, THAT'S WORTH NOTING IN SPITE OF THIS VERY LARGE INCREASE.
IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IF FAVOR SAY AYE.
