[6.A. Presentation/Recognition by the Parker County Historical Commission of the 2023 Texas Treasure Historic Business Award recipients: Davis City Phannacy and Greene's Florist. (Jamie Bodiford Brinkley / Judge Deen)]

UH, WE DO HAVE REPRESENTATIVES THERE.

UH, WE WILL, UH, DO THE DAVIS CITY PHARMACY FIRST.

UH, IS SOMEBODY HERE TO, WOULD SPEAK ON THAT, PLEASE? THANK YOU, JUDGE DEAN AND COMMISSIONERS.

I'M JAMIE BODIFORD AND I'M VERY PLEASED TO BE HERE AS A MEMBER OF THE PARKER COUNTY HISTORICAL COMMISSION.

AGAIN, WE HAD OUR TEXAS TREASURERS THIS YEAR, AND FOR MANY OF THE AUDIENCE WHO MIGHT NOT BE AWARE, TEXAS TREASURES IS A RECOGNITION THAT IS THROUGH OUT TEXAS, AND WE HONOR BUSINESSES THAT ARE OVER 50 YEARS OLD THAT ARE IN THE SAME STANDING.

UM, SO WE WERE REAL THRILLED THAT WE HAD TWO OUTSTANDING BUSINESSES.

AND WE'LL START FIRST, AS YOU MENTIONED, WITH DAVIS PHARMACY.

AND WE HAVE, UH, THE OWNERS OF DAVIS PHARMACY OR CITY PHARMACY HERE IN THE AUDIENCE.

WE HAVE BRANDY CHAIN AND CHA, UH, LEE CHAIN HERE.

AND, UM, IF YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW ASHLEY, UH, THE BUILDING, UM, IS, WAS RECOGNIZED BY THE AMERICAN PHARMACEUTICAL ASSOCIATION AS THE OLDEST STANDING PHARMACY IN THE UNITED STATES.

ISN'T THAT CORRECT? WOW.

WOW, WOW.

THAT'S

[00:05:01]

AND, UH, THE PHARMACY, ACTUALLY, IT WAS A PHARMACY IN 1892, OF COURSE, ACROSS THE, ON THE SQUARE OFF OF TRINITY.

AND MANY OF US KNOW AND LOVE SO MUCH, GERALD DAVIS.

GERALD WAS A WORLD WARI HERO.

AND HIS, HE AND HIS BEAUTIFUL WIFE MARGARET MOVED HERE AND HE STARTED THE PHARMACY IN 1948.

IN FACT, HE WAS A P O W.

HE LOST ONE OF HIS LEGS IN THE WAR, AN INCREDIBLE UT FAN.

WE USED TO HAVE BUSES THAT WOULD GO TO AUSTIN EVERY WEEKEND, PARKED RIGHT OVER THERE BY THE PHARMACY.

WE'D LOAD EVERYBODY UP.

AND THEN, UH, IN 1963, JIM COLEMAN, UH, NEW GRADUATE OF UT PHARMACEUTICAL SCHOOL, CAME AND JOINED GERALD, AND HE WAS MADE A PARTNER IN 1966.

UH, GERALD PASSED AWAY AT THE AGE OF 77, UM, EARLIER IN THE YEAR IN LIKE, I THINK ABOUT 1980.

AND JIM CONTINUED THE PHARMACY AND HE WAS RECOGNIZED FOR 50 YEARS BY THE TEXAS PHARMACEUTICAL ASSOCIATION.

UM, IT IS A FIXTURE IN PARKER COUNTY, AND I'M SO GLAD THAT THE LADIES NOW HAVE A OLD FASHIONED SODA PARLOR THERE.

SO AFTER Y'ALL CONVENE WITH COURT, YOU CAN RUN OVER THERE AND GET YOUR COKE FLOW.

THEY'VE GOT FRITO PIES WAITING FOR YOU AND HOMEMADE PANINI SANDWICHES.

SO, UH, YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO DOWN SOUTH.

MAGNIFY THE TRAFFIC, YOU'VE GOT IT RIGHT OVER HERE.

BUT WE ARE SO THRILLED BECAUSE, UH, BRANDY, AS A LITTLE GIRL GREW UP THERE BECAUSE HER PRECIOUS MOTHER NELDA HAS BEEN WITH THE PHARMACY OVER 50 YEARS HERSELF.

SO IT IS A TRUE FAMILY OPERATION.

AND SO IT WAS REALLY A, AN HONOR THAT WE RECOGNIZED THEM WITH TEXAS TREASURES.

AND THE SECOND RECIPIENT WE HAVE IS SOMEONE, I THINK JOHN FORREST.

YOU KNOW THIS FAMILY WELL, YOU MIGHT WANNA DO THE INTRODUCTION OR DO YOU WANT ME TO DO IT? GO AHEAD AND DO IT.

OKAY.

OKAY.

OKAY.

WELL, JOHN, UH, FORREST FELL IN LOVE WITH A YOUNG LADY, UH, ERICA MANY YEARS AGO, AND SHE IS PART OF THE GREEN FAMILY.

AND THE GREENS FLORES BEGAN 70 YEARS AGO WHEN A BEAUTY SHOP OWNER, WILMA HART GREEN, WENT TO THE WELDONS SCHOOL OF FLORAL DESIGN AND EARNED A REALLY GREAT CERTIFICATE OF RECOGNITION BECAUSE IT IS SUCH A WONDERFUL FLORIST.

AND THROUGH THE YEARS, I MEAN, SOME OF THE MOST EX EXCLUSIVE ARRANGEMENTS, WEDDINGS, FLOWERS, FUNERALS, PROMS, HAVE COME FROM THEIR BEAUTIFUL, UH, GREENS FLORIST, UH, WILMAN, HER HUSBAND JOE OPERATED THE FLORIST SHOP AND THEIR HOME ON HANOVER.

AND, UH, THE BUSINESS FLOURISHED.

AND IN 1961, THEY BUILT THE LOVELY BUILDING THEY'RE IN NOW TODAY ON NORTH MAIN STREET.

AND WILMA'S SONS, JOE BOBBY MANAGED IT, UH, FROM 1963 UNTIL HIS DEATH IN 1998.

TODAY UNDER THE GUIDANCE OF BOBBY'S WIFE, HARLENE AND DAUGHTERS, DANTE GREEN, UM, DENNIS, UH, UH, KEN DENNIS', LOVELY WIFE.

AND ERICA GREEN FOREST, WHICH JOHN KNOWS VERY WELL, IS HIS BEAUTIFUL WIFE.

THE BUSINESS HAS BLOSSOMED, I'LL LOVE THAT ONE, UH, INTO A COMMUNITY ASSET WHICH MAINTAINS A FRIENDLY SMALL TOWN FLAVOR.

AND IT'S REALLY AN HONOR FOR ME TO PRESENT THIS BECAUSE YOU'RE MY FLORIST AND YOU'RE MY PHARMACY AND HAS BEEN WITH OUR FAMILY SINCE I WAS BEFORE I WAS BORN.

SO THANK YOU SO MUCH.

AND WE'RE SO PROUD THAT THEY ARE RECIPIENTS OF THESE WONDERFUL TEXAS TREASURERS.

THANK YOU.

[6.B. Recognize Davis City Pharmacy's over 60+ years serving Parker County and honoring their dedication to the community. (Judge Deen)]

SORRY, NO ONE TOLD ME I WAS GONNA HAVE TO SPEAK.

IT'S PART OF THE DEAL, , RIGHT? SO WE'RE HONORED TO CARRY ON THE TRADITION OF THIS PHARMACY.

IT'S SO NEAR AND DEAR TO MY HEART.

AND EVERY CUSTOMER THAT COMES IN THERE IS LIKE FAMILY TO US.

SO ONE THING THAT I WOULD LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT IS DURING C O V I D, SO WE WERE THE VERY FIRST INDEPENDENT PHARMACY TO RECEIVE COVID VACCINATIONS.

AND THEN WE JUST ANNOUNCED FRIDAY A REALLY EXCITING INITIATIVE WHERE WE'RE THE FIRST INDEPENDENT PHARMACY IN OUR COUNTY TO BE AN INDEPENDENT AFFILIATE WITH COST PLUS DRUGS.

MARK CUBANS COST PLUS DRUGS, WHICH IS FANTASTIC, ESPECIALLY FOR OUR PEOPLE IN OUR COUNTY THAT DON'T HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE.

SO WE'VE PARTNERED WITH THEM TO MAKE MEDICATIONS AFFORDABLE, AND WE STRIVE TO JUST CONTINUE TO BE TRAILBLAZERS IN OUR INDUSTRY.

AND SO WE'RE HAPPY TO BE HERE.

WE'RE HAPPY TO HAVE YOU HERE.

THANK YOU.

IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK? AND LET'S GIVE, LET'S GIVE BRANDY A HAND, PLEASE.

WE'LL GO TO ITEM

[5.A. Approval of traffic control for East Loop Ph. II. (Kim Rivas / Judge Deen)]

UM, WE HAVE MR. CHRIS BOSCO WITH FREEZING NICHOLS HERE.

[00:25:01]

YEAH, , LET'S SEE.

UM, SO THIS, THIS FIRST ITEM IS RELATED TO, UH, TRAFFIC CONTROL ON THE PORTION OF THE LOOP, UH, PHASE TWO FROM 180, UH, TO SEVEN 30.

UM, SO THAT, THAT PHASE, UH, THE REASON FOR THIS, UH, REQUEST TODAY IS THAT THAT CONTRACTOR IS COMPLETED WITH THE WORK.

UH, AND THERE THERE'S ABOUT AN $80,000 CREDIT THAT WE'LL BE BRINGING TO YOU.

UH, ONE OF THE ELEMENTS THAT IS STILL REMAINING IS TO KEEP THE TRAFFIC CONTROL OPEN UNTIL, UH, OPERATIONAL, UNTIL, UH, THE SEVEN 30 SIGNAL IS COMPLETED.

AND SO, UM, THE CONTRACTOR ON THAT HAD A BID OF $10,000 A MONTH, UH, TO MAINTAIN THAT TRAFFIC CONTROL.

UH, SO WE WENT AND GOT SOME ADDITIONAL BIDS FROM OTHER, SINCE THAT CONTRACTOR'S DONE WITH ALL THE HEAVY CONSTRUCTION WORK, WE THOUGHT WE COULD GET BETTER PRICING FROM, UH, JUST A TRAFFIC CONTROL, UH, COMPANY THAT ESTABLISHES THAT.

AND SO, UM, WE GOT THREE BIDS AND YOU CAN SEE THE, WE RECOMMEND WE GO WITH CROSSROADS, WHICH THIS IS ESTIMATED ON, UH, FIVE MONTHS.

WE BELIEVE THE, THE LOOP WILL BE OPEN BEFORE, BUT THIS BASICALLY CARRIES US THROUGH THE END OF NOVEMBER.

IN THE EVENT WE'LL NEED THAT.

BUT WHAT IT ALLOWS US TO DO IS, UM, TAKE THAT, WHAT WOULD BE $50,000 OF TRAFFIC CONTROL AND UH, AND JUST DO THE 9,475 TO MAINTAIN THAT, UH, FOR THAT SEGMENT OF THE LOOP.

AND SO WE'RE SEEKING APPROVAL TO, UH, HIRE CROSSROADS BARRICADES AND TRAFFIC SAFETY SERVICES TO MAINTAIN THAT TRAFFIC CONTROL UNTIL THE LOOP'S OPEN.

OKAY.

AND IT WOULD BE FUNDED WITH, UH, IN THE NEXT COURT.

I'LL BRING, UH, THE FINAL, UH, CHANGE ORDER FOR PHASE TWO, WHICH IS ACTUALLY A CREDIT CHANGE ORDER.

AND WE'LL ALLOCATE, UH, THOSE FUNDS, UH, TOWARDS THIS MUCH.

WERE MADE BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN FOR APPROVAL.

SECOND MADE BY COMMISSIONER CONLEY.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? QUESTION FOR YOU, MR. BOSCO, IF WE RUN OVER THE FIVE MONTHS FOR, DUE TO UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCES, IS THERE ANY TYPE OF LUMP COST OR ADDITIONAL COST ASSOCIATED WITH CROSSROADS? NO, WHAT THEY GAVE US IS BASICALLY A MONTHLY, UH, COST.

SO IF WE, LET'S SAY IT WENT FIVE AND A HALF MONTHS, WE'D JUST PRORATE THAT TO THAT AMOUNT.

UH, AND, AND AS I MENTIONED, WE'RE ANTICIPATING ABOUT $80,000 CREDIT ON THAT PHASE, SO THERE WOULDN'T BE AN ADDED COST.

BUT NEXT QUESTION, IF THERE IS SOME TYPE OF STORM EVENT, TORNADO, WHATEVER, AND ALL OF THEIR BARRICADES GET DESTROYED, I ASSUME THEY'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT.

THAT'S CORRECT.

NOT RESPONSIBLE.

YEAH, THEY, THEY MAINTAIN, IF THEY GET KNOCKED OVER, YOU KNOW, OFTEN CARS MIGHT GLANCE, UH, THE DRUMS AND STUFF.

YEAH.

YEAH.

THAT, AND THAT'S KIND OF THE KEY HERE, IS GETTING A COMPANY LIKE THAT ON BOARD THAT'S REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN IT.

THANK YOU.

WHAT, WHAT'S THE SCHEDULE ON THE SEVEN 30 LIGHTS? SO WHAT WE'RE, THEY'RE, THEY'VE ORDERED ALL THE EQUIPMENT.

UH, WE'RE ANTICIPATING TO GET THAT BY THE END OF AUGUST.

AND THEN IN WITH INSTALLATION, THAT WOULD PUT US, YOU KNOW, INTO SEPTEMBER 1ST OF OCTOBER IN WHICH THAT WORK WOULD BE COMPLETED, WHERE WE COULD OPEN THE LOOP.

YEAH.

SO THAT BEING SAID, YOU KNOW THIS, WE, WE ESTIMATED OUT TO THE END OF NOVEMBER, SO OBVIOUSLY IN THIS CASE THAT COST WOULD GO DOWN CUZ WE WOULD JUST BE DOING THREE MONTHS INSTEAD OF FIVE.

THANK YOU.

OKAY, ANY OTHER COMMENTS? DO I HAVE A MOTION? YEAH, WE'VE ALREADY, OH, WE'RE IN THE DISCUSSION, PLEASE.

I'M SORRY.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR.

PASS FIVE.

OH, THANK YOU.

GO TO ITEM

[5.B. Approval of Eastloop Phase 4 Change Order #4. (Judge Deen)]

UM, SO THIS IS A CHANGE ORDER RELATED TO PHASE FOUR, UH, WHICH IS THE PORTION FROM UPPER DENTON TO 51.

UH, THIS IS THE LAST ELEMENTS TO COMPLETE THE PROJECT.

I'M GONNA KIND OF ZOOM IN.

THERE'S, UH, A COUPLE OF KEY ELEMENTS HERE IS ONE, UM, WE'RE ADDING A DRIVEWAY.

UH, THERE'S A, A BUSINESS RIGHT ON THE CORNER.

UH, AND WITH THE SIGNAL IN NATURE, IT WOULD BE A LOT SAFER IF THEY HAD THE ABILITY TO ACCESS THE LOOP.

UH, SO WE'RE ADDING A DRIVEWAY THAT IS, IS BASICALLY ON THE LOOP, UH, ON THAT QUADRANT THERE THAT ALLOWS THEM NOT TO HAVE TO EXIT ONTO 51 WHERE THE SIGNAL IS.

[00:30:01]

ANOTHER ELEMENT THAT'S IN THIS CHANGE ORDER IS, UH, WE HAD THE STORM DRAIN OUT FALLING AT 51 AND, UH, OUR ORIGINAL INTENT WAS TO HAVE THAT DRAIN INTO 51 AND THEN THE DRAINAGE WOULD GO, UM, GOES UNDER 51.

UH, THE, THE CHALLENGE WE ENCOUNTERED IS THAT CULVERT WAS FULLY SILTED IN.

UH, SO ONE OF THE ELEMENTS OF THIS CHANGE ORDER IS TO CLEAN OUT THAT CULVERT AND THEN WE'RE ACTUALLY PROPOSING TO PUT EVERYTHING UNDERGROUND RIGHT AT THAT LOCATION.

INSTEAD OF HAVING LIKE OUR OUTFALL AND THEN 20 FEET AWAY HAVE A CULVERT, WE'RE JUST GONNA PUT A JUNCTION BOX.

SO ALL THAT DRAINAGE WILL GO FROM THE LOOP ACROSS 51 AND IT'LL BE A MUCH, UH, CLEANER.

WE WON'T HAVE TO HAVE ANY GUARDRAIL ON THAT CORNER.

UH, SO THAT'S SOMETHING WE KIND OF ENCOUNTERED UNDER CONSTRUCTION, THAT THAT WOULD BE A BETTER WAY, UH, TO COMPLETE THAT CORNER.

UH, THE CHANGE ORDER, UM, LET ME ZOOM OUT HERE.

UH, SO THE CHANGE ORDER INCLUDES SEVERAL ELEMENTS, YOU KNOW, THE VARIOUS DRIVEWAY ELEMENTS, UH, DRAINAGE ELEMENTS.

THERE IS SOME, UH, TRAFFIC SIGNAL CABLING, UH, THAT WE INCLUDED IN THERE.

AND THEN WE HAD A, A SIGNIFICANT CREDIT ON THE RETAINING WALL.

UH, THAT RETAINING WALL THAT'S BUILT BY THAT INTERSECTION, UH, WAS UNDER BUDGET.

AND SO THE, SOME OF THIS, THESE VARIOUS CHANGES WOULD BE A ADDITIONAL CHANGE ORDER AMOUNT OF 12,000, UH, $574.

SO WE'RE SEEKING APPROVAL TO APPROVE THAT CHANGE ORDER, UH, TO FINISH UP THE CONSTRUCTION OF PHASE FOUR.

I'M SORRY, I'M, I'M JUST BE BE CLEAR ABOUT THE 12,000 BOB PAGE FOUR.

UH, SO THE 12,000 IN ADDING THE DRIVEWAY AND THE DRAINAGE ELEMENTS, BUT WE'RE ALSO GETTING A CREDIT FROM THE RETAINING WALL.

SO THE 12,574 WOULD BE A, AN ADDITIONAL AMOUNT FOR THE CONTRACT.

OKAY.

SO IT'S AN, IT'S A NET COST.

IT IS AN INCREASE IN COST.

OKAY.

OKAY.

MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER HOLT FOR APPROVAL, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER COLING.

UH, ANY OF THAT DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? I HAD A QUESTION.

WHO'S RESPONSIBLE FOR KEEPING THAT BOX CULVERT CLEAN WITH SILK, KEEPING THAT, THAT CLEAN, THAT SILK? YEAH, SO NORMALLY THAT IS A TECH STOCK.

YEAH.

UH, THE SITUATION HERE WAS A MATTER OF TIMING.

YOU KNOW, THEY DO GO MAINTAIN VARIOUS, UH, BUT US TRYING TO KIND OF FINISH IT UP AND WITH IT BEING 90% SILTED IN, UH, SO, YOU KNOW, GOING FORWARD AFTER WE CLEAN ALL THAT OUT, THAT IS STILL UNDER THEIR MAINTENANCE MM-HMM.

.

UH, BUT THE THINKING WAS HERE THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE TRYING TO FINISH UP THE LOOP, RIGHT? UH, AND, AND GO AHEAD AND GETTING THAT CLEANED OUT BECAUSE THEIR TIMING MIGHT BE ANOTHER YEAR BEFORE THEY CAN GET IT ALL CLEANED OUT AND THAT, THAT WAS KIND OF WHAT WAS DRIVING THAT.

SO THEY'LL CLEAN IT OUT THE CONTINUATION AFTER THAT? YES, SIR.

OKAY.

VERY WELL.

ANYTHING ELSE? ANY OTHER COMMENTS? ALL IN FAVOR PASS FIVE.

OH, THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU CHRIS.

[7.A. 2023 Annual Inventory Report. (Kim Rivas / Judge Deen)]

WE WILL KEEP THESE ON OUR INVENTORY AS JUST MISSING AN AUDIT FOR TWO YEARS OR TWO ADDITIONAL YEARS.

AND THEN AFTER THAT, IF THEY HAVEN'T BEEN LOCATED, THEN WE WILL REMOVE AND DISPOSE THEM FROM THE, THE, UM, COUNTY'S INVENTORY LIST.

THE ADDITIONAL PAGES, UM, AFTER THAT ARE MISSING AN AUDIT ASSETS THAT HAVE BEEN MISSING FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS.

AND, UM, WE HAVE ON THERE THE DATE AT WHICH THEY WILL FALL OFF OF THE INVENTORIES FOR THESE DEPARTMENTS.

AND SO I JUST WANTED TO UPDATE YOU ALL ON ALL THIS INFORMATION.

UH, ALL IN ALL, IT WAS A PRETTY SMOOTH PROCESS THIS YEAR AND, UM, WE APPRECIATE ALL THE DEPARTMENT'S COOPERATION WITH US.

I KNOW IT'S LONG AND ARDUOUS AND, AND TIME CONSUMING AND UN UNFORTUNATELY IT IS WHAT IT IS AND WHAT WE'RE REQUIRED TO DO.

ANY QUESTIONS? ARE THERE ANY CONCERNS ABOUT THESE MISSING THE MISSING ASSETS? UM, ALL OF THE DEPARTMENTS ARE STILL LOOKING FOR THEM AND WE, IF, IF ANY OF THEM ARE LOCATED, WE WILL DO AN UPDATE.

UM, MOST OF IT IS, UM, WELL, I KNOW YOU SAID THAT, BUT I MEAN, WHAT ABOUT THE, IS THERE ANY CONCERNS ABOUT MISSING COMPUTERS? WHAT, WHAT ARE THE YEAR MODELS ON THOSE? I DON'T KNOW THE, I MEAN, SOME OF THEM ARE, YOU KNOW, EIGHT, NINE YEARS OLD.

A COUPLE OF THESE, UM, WERE A, THERE WAS A LAPTOP AND A, A DESKTOP THAT THE IT DEPARTMENT HAD, UM, REQUESTED TO TRANSFER OVER TO THE COLLEGE, UM, WHETHER FOR COLLEGE FOR TRAINING PURPOSES.

AND IN THE PROCESS, I THINK TWO OF THE COMPUTERS THAT WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO GO OVER THERE WENT OVER THERE AND TWO, AND THEY SHOULD HAVE TAKEN TWO OF THESE THAT ARE ON THE LIST.

UM, THERE'S SOME DESK THAT WERE, UM, DISPOSED OF DURING THE FLOOD PROCESS THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN MAYBE.

UM, SO, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A FEW THINGS LIKE THAT.

THERE'S, UH, SOME BODY ARMOR THAT, UH, A PREVIOUS EMPLOYEE WE DID NOT GET BACK FROM THEM AND THEY'RE WORKING ON GETTING THAT.

SO JUST THINGS LIKE THAT.

AND A LOT OF THOSE WILL HAVE NO VALUE.

SO WE NEED TO PROBABLY DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN THE ONES THAT HAVE VALUE AND THE ONES THAT DO.

SO WE PROBABLY NEED TO LOOK AT THOSE DATES ALSO.

DIDN'T WE HAVE SOME COMPUTERS THAT WERE MISPLACED DURING, UH, THE VIRUS THAT ATTACKED OUR COMPUTERS? YEAH.

AND THEY'RE ON THE LIST THAT THE, THE MISSING AN AUDIT LIST THAT'S FURTHER IN THE PACKET THAT I PRESENTED TO COURT.

UM, THEY'LL FALL OFF IN A COUPLE YEARS.

AND SOMETIMES WE DO HAVE, UM, ASSETS THAT HAVE BEEN MARKED AS MISSING AN AUDIT ASSETS SHOW UP IN LATER INVENTORIES.

AND SO WE, YOU KNOW, DISPOSED OF THEM TOO SOON IN SOME INSTANCES AND HAD TO GO BACK AND ADD 'EM IN.

SO WE WANTED UNDERSTOOD ABOUT THE COMPUTERS, UH, RIGHT.

GEORGIA, ARE THERE ANY CONCERNS OR NOT? THAT'S ALL WE PROBABLY NEED TO LOOK AND SEE THE VALUE ON THOSE.

AND THEN ALSO THE EXTENDED OF INFORMATION THAT MIGHT BE ON THOSE AS WELL.

RIGHT.

BECAUSE THAT THE OTHER CONCERN, THE VALUE PLUS THE INFORMATION THAT MIGHT BE CONTAINED ON THOSE COMPUTERS.

SO THAT'S ALL I'M, I'M WORRIED ABOUT IS THE INFORMATION THAT'S ON.

RIGHT, RIGHT.

I HAVE A QUESTION ON THAT AND MAYBE ABRAHAM CAN ANSWER IT.

SORRY TO PUT YOU ON THE SPOT.

I DON'T SEE JAMES HERE, ABRAHAM.

IS THERE A WAY WHEN WE HAVE A COMPUTER THAT'S MISSING OR A LAPTOP THAT'S MISSING? SORRY, THIS IS A DUMB QUESTION.

I'M NOT A NO.

IT'S COMPUTER EXPERT WHERE WE CAN HAVE PROTECTIONS ON THE COMPUTER WHERE IF SOMEBODY TRIES TO ACCESS IT THAT DOESN'T ENTER THE RIGHT PASSWORD OR WHATEVER, THEY'RE TRYING TO BRUTE FORCE THEIR WAY IN THAT IT WIPES THE COMPUTER.

UH, NOT ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

UM, GENERALLY ALL OF OUR COMPUTERS WILL HAVE THE ANTIVIRUS SOFTWARE, THE 40 E D R ON THERE.

AND SO IF IT COMES ONLINE, WE CAN SEE IT THERE.

UM, BUT GENERALLY FOR LIKE, ESPECIALLY IF IT'S AN OLDER COMPUTER LAPTOP OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, WE YANK THE HARD DRIVE OUT OF IT ANYWAYS.

SURE.

SINCE IT'S GONNA GO OFF TO BE SURPLUSED AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

SO WE DON'T SEND THAT WITH IT.

I GUESS, I GUESS WHAT I'M ASKING IS SUPPOSE SO I HAVE A LAPTOP SURE.

THAT I WORK OFF OF THAT DOUBLES AS MY OFFICE PC MM-HMM.

, IF I LEAVE IT SOMEWHERE ACCIDENTALLY, AND I HAVEN'T, IT'S WITH ME, BUT IF I LEAVE IT SOMEWHERE ACCIDENTALLY AND SOMEBODY FINDS IT AND THEY TRY TO GET INTO OUR SYSTEM USING THAT LAPTOP, DO WE HAVE PROTECTIONS IN PLACE? Y YES, I OBVIOUSLY IT'S PASSWORD PROTECTED AND ALL THAT, BUT UH, FOR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, I MEAN, IF THEY YANK THE HARD DRIVE OFF OF THERE, THEN THEY PLUG IT INTO SOMETHING ELSE, THEORETICALLY THEY COULD JUST PULL THE STUFF OFF OF THERE.

CAUSE I MEAN, IT'S NOT, THEY CAN CRACK A PASSWORD, IT'S NOT TERRIBLY DIFFICULT.

SO THEY CAN ACCESS THE INFORMATION THAT'S STORED LOCALLY ON THE COMPUTER, BUT IT'S NOT GONNA BE EASY FOR THEM TO GET UNDER OUR NETWORK WHERE THE SENSITIVE INFORMATION IS STORED.

RIGHT, RIGHT.

OKAY.

YEAH.

OKAY.

THANK YOU.

YEAH.

AND, AND ONE OTHER THING.

SO IF ONE OF THOSE COMPUTERS COMES ONLINE, DO Y'ALL HAVE THE

[00:40:01]

YEAH, THAT'S PART OF LIKE THE E D R.

IT'LL TELL YOU THE IP ADDRESS THAT IT'S CURRENTLY, SO YOU, YOU'LL KNOW IF ONE OF THESE OLD COMPUTERS IS ONLINE BY THAT IP, AS LONG AS IT HAS 40 E D R ON IT.

UM, THEN YEAH, WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO, IT'LL SHOW IT'S RUNNING AND IT'LL GIVE US AN IP ADDRESS.

ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

I KIM I HAVE ONE QUESTION FOR YOU.

CAN YOU TALK ABOUT THIS, UH, I MEAN, AS, AS WE LOOK AT THE LIST OF ASSETS, THERE'S OBVIOUSLY COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH ALMOST ALL OF THESE, BUT THERE'S ONE IN PARTICULAR THAT'S PRETTY LARGE.

MM-HMM.

, UM, THE VOICE AND DATA RECORDER.

RIGHT.

CAN YOU GIVE US SOME BACKGROUND ON THAT PLEASE? SO THE, THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE BELIEVES THAT THAT WAS SURPLUSED.

UM, AND THEY CAN'T FIND THE INVENTORY CHANGE RECORD THAT, THAT WHERE THEY SUBMITTED IT TO, UM, PURCHASING.

WE DO NOT HAVE AN INVENTORY CHANGE RECORD.

I'M SHOWING THAT IT WAS SURPLUS.

SO THIS IS ONE OF THOSE ASSETS THAT WE'RE, WE'RE NOT FINISHED AND DONE WITH.

UM, WE'RE STILL LOOKING.

THEY'RE STILL LOOKING.

AND, UM, WE WILL, IF IF IT'S LOCATED WE'LL UPDATE THE COURT.

WOULD YOU HAVE SOME? SURE.

SO THIS IS THE OLD NICE RECORDER.

IT'S ABOUT 20 YEARS OLD.

UH, THERE'S, THERE'S REAL NO VALUE TO IT.

UH, IT'S THE SIZE OF A SERVER.

UM, MY ADMINISTRATIVE SERGEANT DID SURPLUS IT AT A AND A, UH, RECORDING SYSTEM INTERNAL, UH, SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM.

I DON'T REMEMBER EXACTLY WHEN, BUT WE DON'T HAVE THE RECORD.

IT'S AROUND SOMEWHERE.

WE JUST HAVEN'T FOUND IT YET.

SO, UM, LIKE I SAID, IT'S, IT'S NOT SOMETHING YOU CAN STICK IN YOUR POCKET.

AND, UM, IT'S, LIKE I SAID, IT'S ABOUT 15, 20 YEARS OLD, SO THERE, IT DOESN'T HAVE ANY VALUE TO IT OTHER THAN SCRAP METAL H HOW'D Y'ALL QUIT USING THAT? WE, YEAH, WE QUIT USING IT ABOUT, IT'S BEEN SITTING IN THAT CLOSET PROBABLY FOR ABOUT 10 YEARS.

SO IT HASN'T BEEN ONLINE IN 10 YEARS.

UM, THE, ANY DATA ON IT, UH, WAS JUST 9 1 1 CALLS OF RADIO TRAFFIC FROM 10, 15 YEARS AGO.

AND IF YOU FIND IT, WHAT'S THE CURRENT VALUE OF THAT FOR SCRAP? THERE'S, THERE'S NO VALUE TO IT.

OKAY.

THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? AGAIN, THIS IS STRICTLY FOR NOTIFICATION.

THERE'S NO VOTE, VOTE REQUIRED.

THANK YOU FOR THE EFFORT THAT YOU PUT FORTH.

KIM, UH, THE, THE RENOVATION OR THE, I GUESS THE, UH, WORK FOR THIS, THE, THE, I GUESS THE BEST WAY TO PUT IT IS DISRUPTION IN THE, UH, COUNTY, UH, COURTHOUSE HERE HAS NOT BEEN THE BEST TIMING FOR THAT.

UH, RICH CAN ATTEST TO THAT, I'M SURE.

BUT, UH, THANK YOU BOTH FOR YOUR DILIGENCE IN THAT AS A

[8.A. Authorize Parker County Sheriff to sign a replacement deed for cause # CV05-2334. (John Forrest / Judge Deen)]

SO WE'LL GO TO AUTOMATE A UNDER APPROVAL AUTHORIZED PARKER COUNTY SHERIFF TO SIGN A REPLACEMENT DEED FOR CAUSE NUMBER CV OH FIVE DASH 2334.

UH, JOHN, THIS PARTICULAR PIECE OF PROPERTY IS A STRUCK OFF PROPERTY, MEANING THAT IT WAS SOLD BY THE SHERIFF FOR BACK TAXES.

AND WE JUST NEED AUTHORIZATION BY THE COURT TO EXECUTE THIS BY THE SHERIFF.

OKAY.

SO WE HAVE A MOTION BY MY, SORRY, I HAD TO GET MY SCREEN UP.

A MOTION IS MADE BY COMMISSIONER HALE.

UH, THE SECOND IS MADE BY COMMISSIONER COLLINS.

IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION BEFORE WE VOTE? ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.

AYE.

OURS ARE OFF.

MONITORS ARE OFF.

THEY ARE.

OKAY.

WE WE'RE, WE'RE GONNA DO A VERBAL, THE MOTION PASSES 5 5 0 1.

[8.B. Declare 2 pot belly pigs as having no value, surplus and donate said pigs to the Weatherford Animal Shelter for adoption. (Sheriff Authier / Judge Deen)]

DECLARE TWO POT BELLY PIGS AS HAVING NO VALUE SURPLUS AND DONATE SAID PIGS TO THE WEATHERFORD ANIMAL SHELTER FOR ADOPTION.

SO THESE, UH, THESE TWO ADULT POTBELLY PIGS WERE A STRAY.

UH, THEY WENT TO AUCTION, THEY DID NOT SELL EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE LISTED FOR A DOLLAR.

SO WE'RE REQUESTING QUARTER AUTHORIZATION TO SURPLUS THESE PIGS AND ALLOW US TO DONATE 'EM TO THE WEATHERFORD ANIMAL SHELTER FOR ADOPTION.

THEY MUST BE UGLY PIGS.

DID NOBODY, DID YOU EXPLORE THE OPTION OF SENDING THEM HOME WITH THE AUCTIONEER? YEAH, I SAID DID WE EXPLORE THE OPTION OF SENDING THEM HOME WITH THE AUCTIONEER ? WE CAN'T MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN THE SECOND BY COMMISSIONER HOLT, WHERE THE DISCUSSION PAYS ANY DISCUSSION ON THIS? IT'S, UH, ANY COMMENT? YOU THINK SO? ALL IN FAVOR? NO, I GUESS I HAD THE QUESTION, WILL THE ANIMAL SHELTER ACCEPT THOSE? YEAH.

UH, JOHN TALKED TO , RIGHT? I I SPOKE WITH DUSTIN DEAL AND HE SAID THAT THEY COULD ADOPT THOSE OUT.

OKAY, GOOD.

[00:45:01]

YES.

THANK YOU.

OKAY, WE'LL MOVE TO

[8.C. Discuss/Take action on the use of available funds from the Purdue Pharmaceuticals L.P. opioid settlement and take any action the court deems necessary. (Commissioner Holt)]

COMMISSIONER HOLT.

SO THIS IS RELATED TO AN ONGOING SETTLEMENT THAT HAS, UH, MULTIPLE FACETS.

ONE OF THE FACETS INVOLVES PURDUE PHARMACEUTICALS AND OUR UNDERSTANDING PER PRIOR PRESENTATIONS TO THE COURT IS THAT THERE IS A POT OF MONEY OUT THERE, SO TO SPEAK, OR A A, AN AMOUNT OF FUNDS THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO VARIOUS COUNTIES IN TEXAS THAT HAVE BEEN AFFECTED.

UM, IT IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHERE IT'S, IT'S, YOU KNOW, KIND OF FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE TO A DEGREE.

SO I THINK IT BEHOOVES THE COUNTY TO MOVE ON THIS QUICKLY.

SO I WANTED TO DISCUSS THIS WITH THE COURT AND MR. ARNETT, IF, IF YOU HAVE ANY INPUT ON WHAT WE CAN DO WITH THESE FUNDS FROM A LAW ENFORCEMENT PERSPECTIVE OR HOW IT MIGHT BENEFIT THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE, CERTAINLY WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR INPUT TO START WITH.

IF YOU DON'T MIND.

UH, MYSELF AND THE SHERIFF HAVE SPOKEN ABOUT THIS.

UH, WE'RE NOT EXACTLY FOR SURE HOW ALL THAT'S GONNA PLAY OUT YET.

UM, I, WE STILL NEED SOME TO TALK TO COUNSEL ABOUT IT.

THERE SEEMS TO BE, AS FAR AS I CAN TELL, MAYBE TWO DIFFERENT SETS OF FUNDS, UM, ONE IMMEDIATE AND THEN ONE ONGOING.

UM, THERE ARE A FEW THINGS THAT WE CAN DO DEPENDING ON WHAT THE RULES ARE FOR THE SETTLEMENT, BUT WE DON'T HAVE ANY, UH, HARD AND FAST RECOMMENDATIONS AT THIS TIME.

UH, COUNCILOR, DO YOU HAVE ANY INPUT ON THIS? AND BRIANNA AND I HAVE BEEN VISITING, SO PROBABLY THE BEST BET WOULD BE FOR BRIANNA AND I TO GO VISIT AND SIT DOWN WITH THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE, LOOK AT THAT, SPEAK WITH OUR COUNSEL THAT'S REPRESENTING US IN THIS CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT.
