[4. CONSENT]
TO ITEM FOUR ON THE CONSENT AGENDA UNDER ITEM A, ITEMS TWO, THREE, AND FOUR.AND ITEM B, ITEMS ONE AND THREE.
AND THEN UNDER ITEM C, COUNTY JUDGE ITEMS ONE, TWO, AND THREE.
I WOULD ASK FOR A MOTION, JUDGE, I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE THE CONSENT ITEMS AS OUTLINED.
THE MOTION IS MADE BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN FOR APPROVAL, THE SECOND BY COMMISSIONER CONLEY.
IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM BEFORE WE VOTE? ALL IN FAVOR.
I'M GONNA MOVE DOWN, UH, GIVEN THE AUDIENCE AND, UM, WE'RE GONNA MOVE TO ITEM 5G
[5.G. Consider/Take action on the development of a potential event venue on FM 51. (Joe Wilkinson / Commissioner Holt) PUBLIC HEARING]
ON THERE.CONSIDER AND TAKE ACTION ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE POTENTIAL EVENT VENUE ON FM 51.
I'M GONNA DEFER TO COMMISSIONER HOLT AND THEN I'M GONNA OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.
COMMISSIONER, AS SOME OF YOU MAY HAVE HEARD, THERE IS A POTENTIAL EVENT VENUE THAT IS BEING CONSIDERED FOR GOING IN SOUTH OF FRIENDSHIP ROAD ON THE WEST SIDE OF FM 51.
WE HAD AN INITIAL PRE-DEVELOPMENT MEETING WITH THAT DEVELOPER SEVERAL WEEKS AGO.
PRESENT WAS MYSELF, THE COUNTY PLANNING DIRECTOR, THE COUNTY PERMITTING DIRECTOR, AND THE ESD EIGHT FIRE CHIEF.
WE DISCUSSED OUR VERY HEAVY CONCERNS WITH THAT LOCATION WITH THE DEVELOPER, AND FRANKLY FEEL LIKE FM 51 IS, UH, IT HAS ENOUGH CHALLENGES ON ITS OWN ALREADY.
THAT BEING SAID, AS I'VE TRIED TO COMMUNICATE WITH WITH SOME OF Y'ALL, THE COUNTY IN TERMS OF WHAT THE STATE GOVERNMENT AND THE STATE LAW ACTUALLY ALLOWS THE COUNTY TO DO IS VERY LIMITED.
PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS TEND TO REIGN SUPREME IN TEXAS, AND THAT'S BY DESIGN.
SO THE COUNTY HAS A VERY LIMITED ABILITY TO TELL A PRIVATE LANDOWNER WHAT THEY CAN AND CAN'T DO WITH THEIR PROPERTY.
SO THAT MEANS THAT THE ENTITIES THAT ARE GONNA HAVE THE MOST IMPACT ON THIS LOCATION WOULD BE ENTITIES LIKE TABC, TDOT, TCEQ, ET CETERA.
THE COUNTY DOESN'T REALLY, ACCORDING TO MY KNOWLEDGE, AND, UM, COUNSELOR, I'D APPRECIATE YOUR INPUT, HAVE THE ABILITY TO DIRECTLY TELL A DEVELOPER THAT LOCATION IS NOT SUITABLE FOR THAT.
THAT'S VERY DIFFERENT THAN A CITY WHERE A CITY HAS ZONING AUTHORITY, ET CETERA.
COUNSELOR, WOULD YOU LIKE TO WEIGH IN? AND BASICALLY, JOE AND I HAVE HAD SEVERAL DISCUSSIONS ON THIS, AND WE CAN SUPPORT, UH, THE GROUPS AS FAR AS, UH, HAVING TXDOT REQUIRE OR MANDATE EVERYTHING THAT'S NECESSARY TO HAVE A SAFE ENTRANCE AND EXIT IF THEY DO CHOOSE TO BUILD THAT FACILITY OUT THERE.
UH, I'VE BEEN IN COMMUNICATIONS WITH, UH, ASHLEY WEST NEWFIELD KING'S OFFICE.
SHE'S REACHED OUT TO TABC, SO THEY'RE WELL AWARE OF THIS.
THERE'S NO PERMIT CURRENTLY FOR THAT LOCATION.
AND, UH, AS FAR AS ONSITE SEWAGE FACILITY, THAT'S PROBABLY GONNA GO TO TCEQ, WHICH WILL BE FOR, UM, THAT QUANTITY OF WATER OR WASTE DISPOSAL.
AND SO THAT ENTITY WOULD BE ANOTHER ONE THAT WE'D FOCUS ON AS A GROUP FOR Y'ALL TO LOOK AT, TO MAKE ENSURE THAT THAT'S DONE PROPERLY.
UM, OUTSIDE OF THAT, THE COUNTIES LIKE JACOB HAD STATED IS PRETTY LIMITED AS FAR AS US RESTRICTING WHAT THE DEVELOPMENT
[00:05:01]
DOES, EXCEPT FOR THOSE TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE A COMPLIANCE WITH EVERYTHING THAT'S NECESSARY FOR THAT TYPE OF OPERATION OUT THERE.SO JUST TO RE REITERATE, WE'VE ALREADY BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THOSE ENTITIES AND I'VE ALREADY EXPRESSED OUR, UM, VERY HIGH LEVELS OF CONCERN WITH THAT PARTICULAR LOCATION, GIVEN THE HILL, GIVEN THE CURVE, GIVEN THE NUMBER OF ACCIDENTS ALREADY ON FM 51.
THAT BEING SAID, I THOUGHT IT WAS PRUDENT AND APPROPRIATE FOR THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE NEAR THERE AND ARE AFFECTED BY THIS POTENTIAL DEVELOPMENT TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK UP AND HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE THEIR CONCERNS.
AND THAT'S WHY WE ASKED THE JUDGE TO MAKE THIS A PUBLIC HEARING.
UM, SO JUDGE, THAT'S ALL I HAVE.
IS THERE ANY OF OTHER COMMISSIONERS THAT WANT TO, ANY STATEMENTS YOU WANNA MAKE BEFORE WE OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AT THIS TIME? JUST A COUPLE QUESTIONS.
ARE THEY PLA ARE THEY PLATTING? IT, IS IT REQUIRED TO PLAT JOHN? THEY WILL NOT BE REQUIRED TO PLAT IF THEY'RE NOT BREAKING THE LOTS DOWN.
AND FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND AT THIS POINT, THEY'RE NOT CHOOSING TO BREAK THAT PARTICULAR TRACK OF LAYING DOWN FROM ITS FEE DESCRIPTION.
AND, AND I'M SURE Y'ALL HAVE ALREADY CHECKED ON THIS, BUT WHAT ABOUT UPPER TRINITY? WHAT ABOUT WELLS THERE? ARE THEY, HAVE THEY DRILLED WELLS OR THEY, THAT THAT'S WHERE THEY'LL GO THROUGH TCEQ BECAUSE IT'LL BE A COMMERCIAL USE.
AND SO THAT WON'T GO THROUGH UPPER TRINITY IN DUCK SHAW, THAT'LL GO BACK THROUGH TQ, GO BACK THROUGH TCEQ FOR THE PERMIT TO DRILL A WELL? THAT WOULD CORRECT FOR THE AMOUNT OF WATER.
IT'LL BE, IT'LL BE A COMMERCIAL, WELL, COMMERCIAL WELL, OKAY.
HOW MANY ACRES IS THAT LOCATION? I BELIEVE IT'S APPROXIMATELY 20, OR DO I HAVE 60? 61.
WE'RE GOING TO, WE'RE GONNA OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 9 0 7 AND JUST KIND OF THE GROUND RULES OF THIS IS, IS BE RESPECTFUL.
UM, I WOULD LIKE TO TRY TO KEEP YOUR COMMENTS AT ABOUT THREE MINUTES BECAUSE OF THE AUDIENCE HERE.
UH, WE DO HAVE BUSINESS HERE, BUT YET I DON'T WANNA LIMIT, UH, WHAT'S IMPORTANT TO YOU AND, UH, WHAT YOU WANT TO BE ABLE TO COMMUNICATE TO THIS COURT.
AND SO I'LL BE FLEXIBLE A LITTLE BIT WITH THAT.
BUT DO TRY TO HOLD IT AROUND THE THREE MINUTE RANGE IF YOU CAN.
SO IS THERE ANYBODY HERE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? DON'T EVERYBODY RAISE THEIR HAND ALL ONCE, BUT JUDGE, DEAN AND COMMISSIONERS, THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK ON THIS.
I APPRECIATE THAT WE ARE ON THE AGENDA TODAY.
UM, I'M A CONCERN RESIDENT THAT LIVES IN THAT AREA AND ALSO, UH, ON, ON THE BOARD OF THE ESD EIGHT.
AND, UM, LOOKING AT THE NUMBER OF ACCIDENTS AND THE INFORMATION WE GET AS A BOARD, IT'S BEEN VERY, VERY BUSY.
AND WE, THIS, TO ME, IT'S NOT A GOOD PLACE FOR THIS TYPE OF, UH, VENUE.
NOT WITH THAT MUCH TRAFFIC THAT WE'VE HAD.
UH, I WAS JUST TRACKING THINGS ON TX DOTS AND THERE'S 86 ACCIDENTS IN THREE YEARS, UH, ON THAT ROAD JUST IN FROM, UH, OLD AGNES TO, SO I'LL ADD TO WHAT YOU JUST SAID, THAT BEING ON THE REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION COUNCIL, UH, WE LOOK AT AND BREAK DOWN WHERE THOSE ACCIDENTS ARE.
AND IT IS IN THOSE AREAS WHERE BLIND SPOTS AND WHERE YOU'RE COMING INTO, UH, CURBS, WHERE THERE'S UNSEEN, WHERE WHAT'S, WHAT'S AHEAD OF YOU.
AND SO I'M NOT SAYING THEY'RE ALL OCCURRING THERE, BUT, UH, IT IS A FOCAL POINT OF THE, OF THE, UM, TRANSPORTATION COUNCIL TO LOOK AT THAT AND TRY TO, AS WE PROCEED FORWARD, AS ONE, WIDEN IT, BUT ALSO TO LEVEL THAT OUT, TO MAKE THAT MORE OF A VISIBLE FOR BOTH INCOMING, BOTH GOING EAST AND WEST, OR NO, NORTH AND SOUTH, I'M SORRY.
AND SO, UM, THAT IS A SENSITIVE ISSUE ALREADY WITH
SO JUST WANTED TO POINT THAT OUT.
AND WE DO HAVE A NUMBER OF, UH, RESIDENTS IN THE AREA THAT ARE HERE TODAY.
AND I'M GONNA TURN THIS OVER TO, UH, GINA BURNER.
AND, UM, IF YOU WOULD STATE YOUR NAME AND YES, UH, MY NAME IS GINA SHEER BRUNER, AND I OWN LAND OFF OF OLD AGNES ROAD NORTH OF WEATHERFORD.
IT'S BEEN IN MY FAMILY SINCE THE 1870S.
MY GREAT GRANDPARENTS OWNED IT, AND I'M PART OF A GROUP, UH, NOW KNOWN AS PROTECT FF 51 FAMILIES.
UH, WE JUST RECENTLY LEARNED ABOUT THIS PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT AT 43 19 NORTH FM, UH, 51.
I THINK THEY BOUGHT THE LAND IN NOVEMBER, AND THEY'RE MOVING QUICKLY ON IT.
UH, UNFORTUNATELY, AND ALTHOUGH THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION IS SUBJECT TO BEING VERIFIED, WE ARE BEING TOLD THAT THEY PLAN TO PUT IN A PUBLIC VENUE THAT WILL HOLD UP TO 7,000 PEOPLE, AND THERE MAY BE TWO ARENAS, UH, WITH THAT WOULD HOLD 3,500 PEOPLE EACH.
AND WE'RE BEING TOLD THAT THEIR PLANNED GROUNDWATER USE WOULD TOTAL, UM,
[00:10:01]
35,000 GALLONS OF WATER A DAY.AND THEY'RE ALSO IN THE PROCESS AS, AS WE HAVE LEARNED OF APPLYING FOR AN ALCOHOL PERMIT TO SELL ALCOHOL AT THE LOCATION.
WE HAVE THREE PRIMARY CONCERNS ABOUT THIS, OF COURSE, AS WE JUST DISCUSSED, THE INCREASED TRAFFIC, DANGER AND GRIDLOCK FOR AREA HOMEOWNERS.
UM, WE'VE BEEN PLAGUED WITH TRAFFIC FATALITIES AND NUMEROUS, NUMEROUS WRECKS FOR A LONG TIME.
WE BELIEVE THAT ADDING VEHICLES TO GET 7,000 PEOPLE IN AND OUT WHO WERE BEING SOLD ALCOHOL AND THEN LEAVING THERE AND DRIVING HOME IN THE DARK ON A COUNTRY HIGHWAY IS GOING TO BE A DISASTER.
THE ENTRANCE TO THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY COULD NOT BE AT A WORSE LOCATION AS WE JUST DISCUSSED.
IT'S AT THE BOTTOM OF A LONG STEEP HILL, AND IT'S ON A BLIND CURVE.
AND THE SPEED LIMIT THERE IS CURRENTLY 65 MILES AN HOUR.
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT OUR GROUP HAS DONE IS WRITE A LOT OF LETTERS TO T.TO LET 'EM HEAR FROM US.
UM, BUT I DON'T THINK THAT THE DEVELOPERS ARE WAITING ON THIS AND THEY'RE ALREADY AGGRESSIVELY CLEARING THE LAND.
UH, AND IT LOOKS, THERE'S A SIGN THERE THAT LOOKS LIKE IT'S GONNA BE STORAGE FACILITIES.
UM, AND I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY'RE DOING THAT EVEN BECAUSE I DON'T, I DON'T THINK THEY'VE APPLIED FOR A COMMERCIAL ENTRANCE, EVEN FOR STORAGE FACILITIES.
IT WAS A HOMESTEAD PROPERTY THAT BELONGED TO THE LEDGE FAMILY.
SO, UM, ANYWAY, THEY'RE, THEY'RE PROCEEDING PRETTY QUICKLY ON US.
OR SECOND MAJOR CONCERN IS GROUNDWATER SUPPLIES FOR SURROUNDING WELLS.
AND WE FEAR THAT THEY WILL BE PERMANENTLY NEGATIVELY AFFECTED BY THE WATER USE AT THIS VENUE.
I KNOW THAT YOU ARE ALL KEENLY AWARE OF THE, UH, DECLINING GR GROUNDWATER SUPPLIES IN OUR COUNTY.
UM, AND WE'VE, WE'VE ACTUALLY WRITTEN LETTERS TO THE UPPER TRINITY GROUNDWATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT.
BUT FROM WHAT I JUST HEARD Y'ALL SAY, WE ALSO NEED TO WRITE ANOTHER, UH, GOVERNMENT ENTITY SINCE IT'LL BE A COMMERCIAL PROPERTY.
UH, WATER CONSUMPTION AND OUR RULES IN OUR AREA REQUIRE TWO ACRES PER HOME IN ORDER TO OBTAIN A DRILLING PERMIT.
WE BELIEVE THAT HAVING 7,000 PEOPLE ON ONLY 61 ACRES USING THAT MUCH WATER, REPRESENTS AN UNFAIR AMOUNT AND AN, UH, IMP PRUDENT AMOUNT OF WATER USE.
OUR THIRD POINT IS THAT SIMPLY BOTH SIDES OF 51 NORTH IS RAPIDLY FILLING WITH NICE HOMES AND PEOPLE TRYING TO RAISE CHILDREN OR ENJOY THEIR RETIREMENT YEARS.
NO ONE WANTS TO LIVE CLOSE TO NOISE FROM ALL THIS, UH, UH, THE PEOPLE, THE TRAFFIC, THE PUBLIC ADDRESS SYSTEMS THAT WILL BE USED THERE, TALL, BRIGHT STADIUM TYPE LIGHTING, UH, PARKING LOTS, OR MAYBE EVEN MULTI-STORY PARKING GARAGES AND THE TRASH AND ODORS THAT WOULD COME WITH SUCH A VENUE, ESPECIALLY IF IT'S USED FOR EQUINE SHOWS OR RODEOS.
WE'RE GONNA HAVE ANIMAL WASTE IN ADDITION TO HAVING TO TREAT HUMAN SEWAGE.
UM, SUCH A VENUE WILL GREATLY REDUCE AND PERMANENTLY THE VALUE OF SURROUNDING LAND AND HOMES THAT IN TURN DIMINISHES THE TAX BASE THAT PARKER COUNTY RELIES UPON.
AND I BELIEVE IT REALLY WILL COST THE COUNTY MONEY IN THE LONG RUN.
THERE ARE MANY PLACES FOR SUCH A VENUE AS THIS, BUT THIS LOCATION IS NOT IT.
ANYBODY ELSE WOULD LIKE TO COME UP AND SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? COME UP AND STATE YOUR NAME AND WHERE YOU LIVE.
I ACTUALLY LIVE ADJACENT TO THE PROPERTY.
I LIVE AT 53 70 WHEELING AND I ALSO HAVE AN RT LANE ADDRESS.
I HAVE TWO ACCESSES TO OUR PROPERTY.
I'M MORE CONCERNED ABOUT, I MOVED HERE TO THIS COUNTY TO HAVE PEACE AND QUIET WHERE THEY'RE GONNA BE.
WE'VE BEEN TO A LOT OF RODEOS.
THEY GO ON UNTIL TWO, THREE IN THE MORNING.
I HOPE THAT WE HAVE A VERY SOLID NOISE ABATEMENT LAW IN PLACE TO CONTROL THE NOISE AFTER 10 O'CLOCK AT NIGHT.
'CAUSE I SPOKE WITH THE OWNER AND THE MONEY'S COMING OUTTA CALIFORNIA, SO THEY'RE LOOKING AT MAYBE EVEN DOING WEDDINGS THERE, RUNNING TO ALL HOURS OF THE EVENING.
SO I'M HOPING THAT THIS COUNCIL WILL MAKE SURE THAT THIS INDIVIDUAL UNDERSTANDS WHAT THE VALUE OF THIS COMMUNITY IS AND WHAT THEY'RE GONNA DO IS NOT GONNA BE IN THE BEST INTEREST OF OUR COMMUNITY.
NOW, THE OTHER ISSUE THAT I HAVE IS THE WATER.
I HAVE A SPRING WELL, AND IN THE LAST TWO YEARS, MY SPRING WELL, IS NOW THREE FEET FROM COLLAPSE AND IT'S DROPPED OVER 16 FEET.
AND THE LAST TWO YEARS, IF THEY START PULLING MORE WATER, I'M GONNA LOSE A WELL FOR MY 40 ACRES.
AND I'M NOT REAL PLEASED ABOUT THAT.
AND I'M HOPING THAT YOUR INPUT TO THEM ABOUT HOW THEY'RE GONNA MANAGE THIS WATER IS GONNA BE VERY CRITICAL.
AND ALSO TALKING WITH TABC, I UNDERSTAND THIS COMMITTEE HAS A VERY SIGNIFICANT INPUT WHETHER
[00:15:01]
OR NOT THEY GET THAT LIQUOR LICENSE AND THEY'RE BETTING ON THAT LIQUOR LICENSE.AND I HOPE THAT YOU CAN SHUT DOWN THEM GETTING THE LIQUOR LICENSE BASED OFF OF THE SAFETY ISSUES THAT YOU ALL SEE.
I'M LEAVING IT UP TO YOU TO UNDERSTAND, TO PROTECT OUR COMMUNITY.
ANYBODY ELSE WOULD LIKE TO COME UP AND SPEAK? AGAIN, THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING.
UH, IT'S YOUR TIME TO, UH, THIS, THIS IS FOR, YOU KNOW, TO BE ABLE TO EXPRESS YOUR CONCERNS AND, UH, THINGS THAT WE NEED TO BE THINKING ABOUT, UM, WITH WHAT'S WITHIN OUR AUTHORITY.
AND SO THAT, I'LL SAY FEW WORDS I KNEW THAT WOULD GET SOMEBODY.
GOOD MORNING, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.
MY NAME'S, UH, MAJOR SCOTT HUSING.
I'M A RETIRED US MARINE, AND I AM RECENTLY A NEW TEXAS RESIDENT AS OF LAST AUGUST, UH, COMING FROM CALIFORNIA.
AND, UH, I BOUGHT A 10 ACRE PROPERTY, UM, LIVED IN HORSE COUNTRY IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA WHEN I RETIRED.
SO THIS ISSUE THAT IS IN MY BACKYARD, I SHARE A PROPERTY BOUNDARY WITH THIS PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT.
UM, I, I CAN ECHO JOE'S AND MIKE'S, UH, CONCERNS PRIMARILY JUST THE TRANQUILITY AND THE PEACE AND QUIET WHY I MOVED HERE.
UM, AFTER 24 YEARS OF SERVICE AND 10 DEPLOYMENTS, I, I NEED A LITTLE QUIET AND I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN.
BUT THE PRIMARY CONCERNS ALSO ARE THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT, UH, GRAY WATER RUNOFF, NOISE, LIGHT.
I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY PLANT, NOR HAS ANYONE, YOU KNOW, BRIEFED ANYONE OF, YOU KNOW, CONCERNED FAMILIES AT 51.
SO I, I'M RELYING ON THIS COURT AND, AND YOUR EXPERIENCE TO REALLY CONNECT US TO WHAT'S GOING ON MOVING FORWARD WITH, UM, THIS DEVELOPMENT.
SO I APPRECIATE THAT AND I APPRECIATE EVERYONE HEARING OUR CONCERNS THIS MORNING.
ANYBODY ELSE WOULD LIKE TO COME UP AND SPEAK AGAIN? 10 SECONDS.
DID YOU SAY 10 SECONDS? 10 SECONDS FAST.
KIMBERLY BARNARD, I TOLD YOU, I'M GONNA HOLD YOU TO THAT.
I DON'T LIVE THAT CLOSE, BUT, UM, I'M RETIRED NOW, BUT MY SPECIALTY IS TRAUMA, ANESTHESIA, AND I HAVE CUTTING HORSES.
AND IF YOU CAN PICTURE ALL THOSE TRAILERS PULLING IN AND OUT ON 51, THAT'S NOT CARS PULLING IN AND OUT.
AND I HOPE Y'ALL WOULD CONSIDER THAT AS A, AS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE.
ANYONE ELSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO COME UP AND SPEAK? IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE, UM, GET YOUR INPUT, UH, BECAUSE OF THE, THE PUBLIC HEARING THAT WE HAVE.
THIS IS YOUR TIME, SO DON'T WALK OUT AND WISH YOU HAD SAID SOMETHING AND JUDGE, I MIGHT MAKE A COMMENT.
THE, UH, THE STRUCTURE OF COUNTY GOVERNMENT WAS SET UP AFTER RECONSTRUCTION IN TEXAS, UH, WHEN THEY DIDN'T WANT THE GOVERNMENT TO TELL YOU TO DO ANYTHING.
AND SO WE, WE HAVE A VERY LIMITED ABILITY.
NOW, I DON'T THINK IF YOU, IF I'D ASKED FOR A SHOW OF HANDS OF THIS GROUP OR OF ANY OTHER GROUP HERE IN PARKER COUNTY, DO YOU WANT SOMETHING LIKE THIS NEAR YOUR PROPERTY? THE ANSWER WOULD BE NO.
IF YOU TOOK A POLL, I SUGGEST OF ANYBODY SETTING UP HERE, THE ANSWER WOULD BE NO.
AND SO, UH, I THINK EVERYBODY HERE CAN REST ASSURED THAT WE ARE WITH YOU.
AND WE UNDERSTAND IF YOU OWN PROPERTY IN PARKER COUNTY, YOU DON'T WANT SOMETHING LIKE THIS NEXT DOOR.
YOU DON'T WANT IT DOWN THE ROAD.
YOU DON'T WANT ANY OF THE THINGS THAT WE TALK ABOUT.
WE DON'T WANT EXCESSIVE WATER USE FROM ANYBODY.
UH, IN FACT, THERE ARE GROUPS, UH, THERE ARE, THERE ARE SOME UP HERE THAT DON'T WANT YOU TO BE ABLE TO IRRIGATE YOUR, YOUR LAWN JOE
AND, UH, SO WE'RE SENSITIVE TO EVERYTHING THAT YOU TALKED ABOUT.
HAVING THE ABILITY TO, UH, TO SAY, OKAY, WE'RE GONNA STOP.
THIS IS NOT ONE OF THOSE ABILITIES.
WHAT WE'RE ABLE TO DO IS HAVE SOME INFLUENCE AND HAVE INPUT AND PUT, PUT, UH, INFORMATION OUT REGARDING WHAT CAN HAPPEN, WHAT COULD BE, AND WHY THIS IS NOT A GOOD THING FOR ANY OF US.
AND SO THAT'S WHAT OUR JOB IS.
WE CAN'T STOP IT, BUT WE CAN HAVE INFLUENCE AND WE CAN USE THE, UH, THE, UH, POSITIONS THAT WE HAVE TO INFLUENCE THOSE AGENCIES WHO DO HAVE THE POWER IN TEXAS TO STOP SOMETHING LIKE THIS.
IT'S NOT TO, IT'S NOT TO SAY, WELL, WE DON'T LIKE IT, YOU KNOW, THE, WE'LL PASS A RESOLUTION HERE THAT SAYS WE DON'T WANT THAT, AND IT ALL, ALL GO AWAY.
UH, WE WANT TO HELP, BUT IN ORDER TO DO THAT, UH, NO ACTION THAT THIS COURT IS GOING TO TAKE IS GOING TO HAVE
[00:20:01]
AN EFFECT ON THAT OTHER THAN TO GO TO THE PLACES THAT WE'VE ALREADY IDENTIFIED AND LET THEM KNOW THAT WE'RE OPPOSED TO IT FOR THE REASONS THAT YOU HAVE IDENTIFIED.THANK, THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER.
THAT WAS A VERY GOOD RESPONSE ON, AND VERY, AND IN CLARITY OF WHAT OUR AUTHORITY IS.
AND AS I I SAID BEFORE, I'M ON THE RTC, UH, THESE ARE, UH, THINGS THAT WE LOOK VERY CLOSELY WHERE SCHOOLS GO.
WE LOOK VERY CLOSELY AT WHERE DEVELOPMENT IS GOING FOR THE SAFETY OF THE ROADS AND THE ROADS THEMSELF.
UH, WITH THE TRANSPORTATION BOND WE JUST PASSED, WE'RE OBVIOUSLY GONNA BE RESOLVING SOME OF THESE ISSUES, BUT, UH, WE DO LOOK AT THOSE THINGS, BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, UM, THERE ARE CERTAIN STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS THAT, YOU KNOW, WE CAN AND CAN'T AND DON'T HAVE AUTHORITY ON.
UH, BUT WE DO GO BACK TO THOSE WITH TDO AND SOME OTHERS AND, AND EXPRESSED THAT.
AND SO, JOHN, DO YOU WANT TO ADD TO THAT OR IS THERE ANYTHING? I THINK LARRY COVERED IT PRETTY WELL, OR COMMISSIONER WALDEN COVERED IT PRETTY WELL, I THINK GUESS PRETTY WELL.
UNLESS THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS, JUDGE, IF I CAN JUST SUGGEST SOMETHING.
THIS IS IN PRECINCT TOO, SO I FEEL SOME RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE SURE THAT WE UNCOVER EVERY ROCK WE CAN.
UM, WHAT I'D LIKE TO PROPOSE TO THE COURT IS CAN WE, MAYBE I COULD WORK WITH COUNSELOR TO DRAFT A LETTER OF CONCERN OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A FORMAL RESOLUTION, OR MAYBE IT IS A RESOLUTION PRESENTED TO COURT IN TWO WEEKS, AND WHERE WE SEND A LETTER TO TABC, T-C-E-Q-T, ET CETERA, EXPRESSING OUR STRONG CONCERN WITH THAT PARTICULAR LOCATION.
WOULD THAT BE SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE FEASIBLE? COUNSELOR? WE CAN DRAFT THAT AFTER.
YEAH, I DON'T THINK THAT FALLS UNDER ANY, WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DELAY OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
WE'RE DOING DUE DILIGENCE ON THIS AND MAKING SURE THAT THESE AGENCIES ARE AWARE OF THAT.
I THINK THAT'S A VERY GOOD IDEA.
UH, SO ALONG WITH THE, UH, COUNSELOR'S, UM, ACCEPTANCE OF THAT, I THINK THAT'S A, THAT WOULD BE THE DIRECTION THAT I WOULD SAY IT WOULD BE GOOD.
THEN PENDING THE CLOSE OF THE PUBLIC HEARING, I'LL MAKE THE MOTION.
ANYBODY ELSE? I'M GONNA CLOSE.
THIS IS THE DEVELOPER HERE, IS HE OUT THERE? WE DUNNO WHO THE DEVELOPER IS.
DO YOU KNOW WHO THE DEVELOPER, THE GENTLEMAN I MET WITH, I BELIEVE RESIDES IN CALIFORNIA.
AND I DON'T SEE HIM IN THE AUDIENCE.
HE HAS A REPRESENTATIVE THAT'S HERE.
HE DOES LIVE IN THIS AREA, BUT HE, HE ONLY RESPONDS TO THE PERSON IN SAN DIEGO.
I'M GOING TO, I'M GONNA CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 9 23 AND GO TO THE ITEM.
UM, COMMISSIONER YOU HAD, YOU HAD A MOTION? YEAH.
I'M GONNA MAKE THE MOTION THAT WE, UH, THAT I WORK WITH, UM, MR. FOREST AND WE DRAFT A LETTER THAT THE COMMISSIONERS CAN REVIEW AND SIGN AT OUR NEXT COMMISSIONER'S COURT MEETING, EXPRESSING OUR CONCERN WITH THAT PARTICULAR LOCATION.
AND WOULD ASK THAT, THAT WHETHER IT COULD BE MORE THAN ONE, WOULD IT NOT, THEN ONE WOULD BE THROUGH TABC, BUT THEN ONE WOULD BE THROUGH TEXTILE, CORRECT.
AND WOULD BE THROUGH THE RTC CO SLASH COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS BECAUSE OF THEIR, NOW WHETHER THEY HAVE TEETH IN THIS OR NOT.
UM, I, I, I DON'T KNOW, BUT I THINK THAT'S IT.
IT IS CERTAINLY WORTHWHILE TO DO THAT BECAUSE OF THE INTERACTION WITH TTO BECAUSE, UH, WE'RE VERY ADAMANT TO BE SURE THAT WE'RE, WE'RE CHANGING THE WAY THINGS ARE DONE WITH REGARD TO WHERE DEVELOPMENT GOES, SPECIFICALLY SCHOOLS.
UH, AND WHEN YOU'RE, WHEN WE'RE DEALING WITH THIS AND 50 ONE'S GOTTEN A LOT OF ATTENTION, I CERTAINLY THINK THAT WOULD MAKE SENSE TO DO THAT.
WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER HOLT WITH A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN.
IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION ON THE ITEM BEFORE WE VOTE? ALL IN FAVOR.
AND THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING AND THEN EXPRESSING YOUR CONCERNS ABOUT THIS.
I'M GONNA GET, I'M GONNA GET TO YOU QUICK.
[5.A. Proclaim March 6, 2024 as Black Balloon Day in Parker County to help bring awareness to overdose deaths. (Jessica Castro / Judge Deen)]
ITEM FIVE A ON THE PROCLAIM MARCH 6TH, 2024 AS BLACK BALLOON DAY IN PARKER COUNTY TO HELP BRING AWARENESS TO OVERDOSE DEATHS.UH, WE HAVE JESSICA CASTRO AND JOHN FOREST.
DID YOU WANT TO CHIME IN ON THIS AS WELL? I THINK, I THINK JEFF'S HERE AS WELL TOO.
UM, I JUST AM GRATEFUL THAT Y'ALL HAVE US HERE AGAIN.
I KNOW WE'VE DONE BLACK BALLOON DAY BEFORE AND, UM, OVERDOSE AWARENESS IS JUST ON THE RISE RIGHT NOW.
OVERDOSES EVERY DAY, JUST GETTING MORE AWFUL.
[00:25:01]
BE ABLE TO BE HERE AND PRESENT THIS TO YOU GUYS ON MARCH 6TH IS, UM, BLACK BALLOON DAY.AND, UM, JEFF AND HIS OFFICE HAS BEEN A REAL BIG SUPPORTER OF HELPING US, UM, BRING AWARENESS TO THIS EPIDEMIC THAT'S HAPPENING ALONG WITH ALL OF Y'ALL, ACTUALLY.
SO, UM, WE'RE JUST ON MARCH 6TH, WE WILL PUT OUT BALLOONS THROUGHOUT PARKER COUNTY AND, UM, JUST BRING A BIG AWARENESS BOOST TO OVERDOSE AND LOVED ONES AND THE PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY THAT IT AFFECTS EVERY DAY.
SO THANK Y'ALL FOR HAVING US AGAIN.
AND I WON'T TAKE A LOT OF YOUR TIME, BUT, UH, THE, THE PACE OF OUR FENTANYL OVERDOSE DEATHS IS ACCELERATING.
UM, IT'S VERY CONCERNING TO THOSE OF US THAT THAT DEAL SPECIFICALLY WITH THAT ISSUE.
UM, AND, UH, WHEN JESSICA BROUGHT THIS BLACK WOUND DAY, UH, TO SPRINGTOWN LAST YEAR, I REALLY SAW IT AND WANTED TO BRING IT DOWN HERE.
WE ALREADY HAVE ABOUT 10 LOCATIONS AROUND.
IF ANYBODY KNOWS OF A LOCATION THAT THEY WOULD BE WILLING TO HAVE SOME BLACK BALLOONS OUT TO, UH, HELP BRING AWARENESS TO THIS ISSUE, WE WOULD LOVE TO PUT THEM THERE.
JUST REACH OUT TO ME OR REACH OUT TO JESSICA AND WE CAN GET, UH, GET SOME BALLOONS OUT THERE.
CYNTHIA, I WOULD ASK THAT YOU KIND OF WORK WITH HIM ON THAT.
UH, WE HAVE A MOTION WITH, UM, WELL, WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN WITH A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER CONLEY.
UH, IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM? I, I, I DO WANNA SAY ONE THING.
SINCE CYNTHIA WAS AT A SEMINAR THIS LAST WEEK, I THINK SHE HELPED YOUR OFFICE HELP PUT THAT TOGETHER.
UH, THERE WAS AN ENTITY AND I, I DON'T KNOW THE ENTITY THAT WAS THERE.
THEY WERE DISTRIBUTING NARCAN, SO, MM-HMM.
YOU KNOW, THE FACT THAT IT GETS DISTRIBUTED AND, AND HELP PREVENT THESE TYPES OF UNNECESSARY DEATHS IS CRITICAL TO THIS FIGHT.
CYNTHIA, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING YOU'D LIKE TO ADD TO WHAT WAS SAID? UM, IF COMMUNITY, UM, COME UP.
UM, JOHN IS TALKING ABOUT, UM, COMMUNITY.
IT'S A, IT'S, UM, NEW NONPROFIT OUTREACH PROGRAM THAT HELPS PEOPLE WITH, UM, OVERDOSES AND PEOPLE WHO ARE COMING BACK FROM, UM, DRUG USE USAGE AND THAT THEY'RE RECOVERING FROM THAT, SO THEY ARE ABLE TO HELP OUT.
AND JESSICA'S AWARE OF 'EM TOO.
SHE'S MET WITH A LOT OF OUR MENTAL HEALTH PROJECT THRIVE PEOPLE, AND SO WE'VE CONNECTED A LOT OF THAT.
SO I'LL MAKE SURE THAT THOSE AGENCIES OR THOSE ENTITIES ACTUALLY HAVE THE NARCAN AND THE BLACK BALLOONS TOO.
WE'LL, UH, MOTION PASSES FIVE.
OH, WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO IS READ A PROCLAMATION AND THEN FOLLOWING THAT, IF YOU WOULD BOTH, UH, COME UP AND WE'LL GET A PICTURE MADE OF THIS.
IT'S, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT AND YOU'RE THE, YOU'RE THE HEROES OF THIS THING.
WE, WE WE'RE JUST GRATEFUL FOR WHAT YOU DO AND, AND BRINGING THIS TO THE ATTENTION, JEFF, AND, AND, UM, I THINK THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE GET A HANDLE ON, OR TRY TO AT LEAST DO THE BEST WE CAN WITH THIS THING.
UH, THIS PROCLAMATION IS BLACK BALLOON DAY, WHEREAS BLACK BALLOON DAY HAS BECOME A NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL EVENT BRINGING AWARENESS TO OVERDOSE DEATHS.
AS WITH MANY THING THINGS WITH THE OPIOID EPIDEMIC, BLACK BALLOON DAY BEGINS WITH A FAMILY LOSS AND WHERE DRUG OVERDOSES LEADING CAUSE OF ACCIDENTAL DEATH IN THE UNITED STATES WITH 700,000 DRUG OVERDOSE DEATHS IN THE UNITED STATES FROM 1999 TO 2017 AND GROWING.
AND WHEREAS OPIOID ADDICTION IS DRIVING THIS EPIDEMIC WITH MORE THAN 65% OF OVER OVERDOSE DEATHS RELATING TO PRESCRIPTION OPIOIDS AND ILLICIT OPIOIDS, HEROIN AND ILLICIT FENTANYL.
AND AMERICANS ARE LIKELY TO DIE OF AN OPIOID OVERDOSE THAN THEY ARE FROM A CAR ACCIDENT OR BY GUNS, HOMICIDE, OR SUICIDE.
WHEREAS EVERYONE IN OUR COMMUNITY SHOULD BE AWARE OF THE SIGNS OF THE DRUG ABUSE AND BE DILIGENT IN KEEPING OUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS SAFE.
NOW, THE THEREFORE BE IT NOTED BY THE COMMISSIONER'S COURT OF THE COUNTY OF PARKER DO HEREBY PROCLAIM MARCH 6TH, 2024 IS BLACK BALLOON DAY AND CAUSES OBSERVANCE TO THE ATTENTION OF OUR CITIZENS.
SO PROCLAIMING THE 26TH DAY OF FEBRUARY, 2024, AND IT'S SIGNED, UH, BY ALL OF THE COMMISSIONERS AND, AND MYSELF.
AND SO IF YOU WOULD COME ON, IF YOU WOULD, COME ON, PLEASE.
ALL RIGHT, WE'LL TAKE TWO PICTURES.
[00:30:17]
I GOT WHAT, OKAY, WHAT DO YOU MEAN? I, WE'RE GONNA MOVE DOWN[5.B. Consider all matters incident and related to the issuance and sale of "Parker County, Texas, Unlimited Tax Road Bonds, Series 2024", including the adoption of an order authorizing the issuance of such bonds and establishing procedures and delegating authority for the sale and delivery of such bonds. (Judge Deen)]
TO ITEM FIVE B ON CONSIDER ALL MATTERS INCIDENT RELATED TO THE ISSUANCE IN SALE OF PARKER COUNTY, TEXAS UNLIMITED TAX ROAD BONDS SERIES 2024, INCLUDING THE ADOPTION AND THE ORDER AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF SUCH BONDS AND ESTABLISHED PROCEDURES AND DELEGATING AUTHORITY FOR THE SALE AND DELIVERY OF SUCH BONDS.UH, I KNOW WE'VE HAD PLENTY OF PHONE CALLS AND, AND, UH, I COMMEND BRIANNA FOR THE WORK THAT YOU'VE DONE AND, AND COORDINATION.
UH, WE DO HAVE GEORGE WILLIFORD HERE, IF YOU WOULD COME ON THAT.
THANK YOU JUDGE, MEMBERS OF THE COURT FOR THE RECORD.
GEORGE WILLIFORD WITH, UH, HILLTOP SECURITIES AND YOU HAVE PACKAGES, UH, AT YOUR PLACES THAT, UH, ARE UPDATED, BUT VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT WE WENT OVER IN JANUARY.
AND SO I'M JUST GONNA HIT A FEW, UH, HIGH SPOTS, UH, RELATED TO NOW THAT WE'RE AT THE, UH, POINT OF, UH, REALLY PREPARING TO, TO SELL, UH, THE ISSUE AND SO ON.
UH, ON PAGE ONE, JUST TO, UH, REMIND EVERYONE, THIS IS THE FIRST 80 MILLION OF PROCEEDS, UH, FROM THE 130 MILLION THAT WAS AUTHORIZED, UH, AT THE, UH, NOVEMBER ELECTION.
AND OF COURSE, THE STRUCTURE, AS WE'VE POINTED OUT, WILL BE, UH, PREPARED AND, UH, MAINTAINED, UH, TO TRY TO ADHERE TO THAT, TO NO MORE THAN TWO AND A HALF CENT TAX IMPACT, UH, ON, UH, TAXPAYERS AND SO ON.
WHAT'S IMPORTANT ON PAGE ONE? UH, LIKE THE JUDGE SAID, WEEK BEFORE LAST, WE HAD RATING DISCUSSIONS WITH BOTH FITCH AND STANDARD AND POOR RATING AGENCIES.
UH, THE JUDGE AND BRIANNA BOTH PARTICIPATED, UH, DID A GREAT JOB.
AND THE RATINGS OF THE COUNTY WERE AFFIRMED AT A AA PLUS BY FITCH AA, BY S AND P.
AND EVEN TAKING ON THIS NEW DEBT, UH, THEY, THIS, UH, RATING REALLY ACKNOWLEDGES THE STRONG ECONOMIC GROWTH, ONGOING, UH, POPULATION AS WELL AS JUST THE OVERALL ECONOMY AND ALSO THE FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT OF THE, UH, COUNTY AND SO ON.
AND SO BOTH AGENCIES REALLY, UH, FROM A REALITY STANDPOINT THAT, YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE TAKING ON 130 MILLION FOR TRANSPORTATION NEEDS, UH, THAT'S NOT A, A WANT, UH, OR WHATEVER, THAT'S A TRUE NEED TO ACCOMMODATE AND, UH, UH, REALLY, UH, PREPARE FOR THIS ONGOING GROWTH.
UH, AS WE MENTIONED LAST TIME, FOR A COUNTY TO AUTHORIZED DEBT, IT REQUIRES REGULAR MEETING, AT LEAST FOUR OF THE FIVE.
SO YOU'VE GOT A UNANIMOUS COURT TODAY, SO YOU'RE AUTHORIZED TO ACT ON THE ORDER, AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE AND SO ON.
AND AS IT STANDS, WE WILL BE PREPARED TO CONDUCT THE SALE NEXT WEEK, PROBABLY WEDNESDAY OR THURSDAY.
ON PAGE TWO, IT SHOWS THIS IS ANOTHER, UH, CHANGE OR NEW ITEM.
THE UNDERWRITERS HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN SELECTED, UH, BY WORKING WITH THE JUDGE AND SO ON.
SO FROST WILL BE THE SENIOR MANAGER WITH THE CO-MANAGERS BEING BOK AND RAYMOND JAMES.
ALL OF THEM, UH, UH, HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN PRIOR ISSUES OF THE COUNTY.
AND THEN FROST HAS MATERIAL, UH, FINANCIAL, UH, PRESENCE, UH, RELATIONSHIP WITH OTHER BANKS IN THE COUNTY AS WELL.
AND SO, UH, WE'LL BE PLANNING TO WORK WITH, UH, OUR UNDERWRITER AND THEIRS TO DETERMINE WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY OF NEXT WEEK, WHICH MIGHT BE MORE CONDUCIVE TO, UH, ACTUALLY CONDUCT THE SALE.
I WON'T NECESSARILY GO THROUGH THE REST OF THE MATERIAL OTHER THAN THE LAST PAGE REALLY SHOWS THAT INTEREST RATES CONTINUE TO BE, UH, UH, IN A RELATIVELY GOOD, UH, LEVEL.
SO, UH, I'M, I'M GLAD WE'RE WITHIN A WEEK LITERALLY OF BEING ABLE TO SELL AND HOPEFULLY WE'LL GET IT DONE BEFORE, UH, EITHER, UH, THERE ARE ECONOMIC REPORTS OR SOMETHING THAT THE FED DOES OR DOESN'T DO THAT, UH, COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT RATES, UH, FOR AN ISSUE LIKE THIS.
BUT ALSO, UH, TODAY HERE IS CHRIS SETTLE WITH MCCALL PARK HORTON BOND COUNSEL TO THE COUNTY.
HE ACTUALLY PREPARED THE ORDER AUTHORIZING ISSUANCE, UH, WHICH DELEGATES THE PRICE AND APPROVAL TO JUDGE DEAN OR BRIANNA.
BUT IF YOU'D LIKE, CHRIS CAN COMMENT ON THE ACTUAL ORDER AND THE, UH, UH, PROCESS FOR APPROVAL.
ESSENTIALLY THERE'S TWO AS, AS IN THESE DISCUSSIONS, WHICH, WHICH WAS I, I THOROUGHLY ENJOYED
[00:35:01]
BECAUSE IT, IT'S, IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO GO THROUGH OUR ECONOMY AND THIS WAS A INTERACTION BETWEEN MYSELF AND ALL THE CITIES OF WHAT'S GOING ON, UH, SOME OF THE DISCUSSIONS THAT THEY'RE HAVING WITH THE SUCCESS IN THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.BUT IT REALLY IS TWO COMPONENTS.
ONE, THE ECONOMY AND WE HAVE A THRIVING ECONOMY IN, IN, UH, PARKER COUNTY.
IT'S EXCITING WITH SOME OF THE THINGS THAT ARE COMING, UH, IT'S EXCITING WITH SOME OF THE THINGS THAT'S GOING TO BE GENERATING A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF REVENUE.
WE TALKED ABOUT THE HIGHWAY JOB GROWTH, WE TALKED ABOUT A LOT OF THESE NEW BUSINESSES THAT ARE COMING.
AND IT WAS EXCITING TO HAVE THAT.
THE OTHER COMPONENT OF THIS IS THE FINANCIAL HEALTH OF THE COUNTY.
AND SO THOSE TWO TOGETHER, AND PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, GEORGE OR BRIANNA, THAT, UH, THAT THOSE TWO COMPONENTS, UH, TOGETHER HOPEFULLY WILL GET US A GOOD RATE WITH, WITH YOUR HELP AND, AND BRIANNA'S.
AND, UH, WE THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOU'VE DONE AND ALL THE WORK THAT WE WENT INTO THOSE CALLS, BRIANNA, THE PREPARATION FOR THAT.
AND SO, UM, SO WHAT WE HAVE HERE NOW, IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE THAT Y'ALL WOULD LIKE TO DO BEFORE WE TAKE ACTION? 'CAUSE WE DO HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND ALREADY.
NOT UNLESS THERE'S A QUESTION.
DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? OKAY, WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER CONLEY WITH THE SECOND BY COMMISSIONER HALE.
IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM BEFORE WE VOTE? ALL IN FAVOR.
FIVE OH, THANK YOU AGAIN SO MUCH.
LOOK FORWARD TO NEXT WEEK AND GETTING THIS, GETTING THIS DONE.
OKAY, WE'RE GONNA GO BACK TO ITEM D ONE ON INTER DEPARTMENTAL TRANSFERS OF EQUIPMENT INVENTORY REPORTS.
UH, KIM, DO WE HAVE ANY? NO, DIDN'T THINK SO.

[4.D.4. Accept/Reject/Renew RFP PC24-23 Waste Roll-Off Containers. (Kim Rivas / Judge Deen) ]
EXCEPT FOR REJECT RENEW RFP PC 24 DASH 23, WASTE ROLL OFF CONTAINERS.WE RECEIVED TWO RESPONSES FOR RFP PC 24 DASH 23 WASTE ROLL OFF CONTAINERS FOR PARKER COUNTY.
WASTE CONNECTIONS AND TJ SERVICES BOTH RESPONDED.
UM, BOTH RESPONSES ARE COMPLIANT WITH RFP SPECS AND REQUIREMENTS.
THIS CONTRACT WOULD BEGIN MARCH 1ST, 2024 THROUGH FEBRUARY 8, 28, 20 25.
UM, I DID SEND YOU ALL THE INFORMATION AND THE BID TABULATIONS.
I DON'T HAVE THE INFORMATION MYSELF TO MAKE A DETERMINATION OR A RECOMMENDATION ON THIS.
I'M GONNA LEAVE THAT ALL UP TO, TO YOU AND YOUR PERSPECTIVE OPINIONS.
IS THERE ANYTHING WRONG WITH ACCEPTING BOTH OF THEM? UM, COUNSELOR FOREST? IS THAT A POSSIBILITY TO ACCEPT BOTH OR TO ACCEPT PER PRECINCT? IS THIS ONE OF THE SERVICES THAT ALLOWS US TO APPROVE BOTH OF THEM? I KNOW WE'VE LOOKED AT THIS IN THE PAST AND RIGHT OFF THE CUFF, I CAN'T ANSWER THAT QUESTION.
I KNOW, UH, FOR ROAD MATERIALS THAT'S ALLOWED, I'M NOT SURE ON THIS ONE, BUT, UH, FOR A SPECIFIC STATUTE NOW WE HAVE LIKE THE AUTO SUPPLIES AWARDED TO SPECIFIC PRECINCTS.
SO I FEEL LIKE WE COULD DO THAT, BUT EACH PRECINCT IS GONNA HAVE TO MAKE THEIR DETERMINATION.
I I THINK GO AHEAD AND APPROVE ON BOTH AND THEN AT THAT POINT WE CAN GO BACK IN AND VOID THE SECOND ONE IF WE NEED TO.
WELL, I, WELL LET Y'ALL HAVE A CLEAR CUT HAD WHAT I KNOW ABOUT IT'S, UH, FOR 30 YARD
[00:40:01]
WASTE WASTE CONNECTIONS AS $420 AND FOR THE SAME 30 YARD TJ SERVICES IS $450 IF YOU KEEP IT AT THE, AT THE LIMIT OF THE FIVE TONS.SO IF YOU GO OVER THAT, BUT BOTH HAVE THE FIVE TON OVERAGE.
EVEN TJ SERVICES HAS A FIVE TON OVERAGE COST.
NOT JUST WASTE CONNECTION, BUT THEY, THEY'RE NOT EQUAL.
AND THEN THERE'S ALSO, UM, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE TO CONSIDER YOUR DELIVERY, YOUR OVERWEIGHT, I'M JUST, I'M TALKING ABOUT THE NORTH CONVENIENCE CENTER SINCE WE'VE BEEN YES, SIR.
DOING WASTE CONNECTIONS, THEY'RE, YOU WON'T HAVE THOSE ADDITIONAL FEES 'CAUSE YOU ALREADY HAVE CONTAINERS THERE.
BUT IF YOU AT, AT YOUR PRECINCT YARD SEPARATELY, JUST THE THE, IT WOULD BE DIFFERENT SINGLE DUMPSTERS.
WELL MY MOTION IS THAT WE USE WASTE CONNECTIONS RENEW THE BID.
IT WOULDN'T BE A RE IT WOULD BE BRAND NEW BID OR IT CONTRACT.
IT'S DIFFERENT WHAT IT WAS PREVIOUSLY.
PREVIOUSLY WE HAD IT AS THE ROLL OFF CONTAINERS FOR THE CLEANUP DAY.
AND SINCE WE'VE HAD THE CONVENIENCE CENTER JUST NOW, I KNOW WE HAD TROUBLE WITH THE CLEANUP DAYS, BUT WE DON'T DO THOSE ANYMORE.
WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER CONLEY, A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN.
WE'RE IN THE DISCUSSION, PLEASE.
IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM? WELL, SO I WANTED TO MAKE SURE SOME CLARIFICATION.
WE COULD MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE BOTH AT THIS TIME.
AND, AND LIKE I SAID, I, I'LL RESEARCH THAT AND MAKE SURE KIM AND I WILL, AND IF WE IT'S NECESSARY, WE'LL AVOID THE SECOND ONE OUT.
SO PICK A PRIMARY AND A SECONDARY ON THIS OR WHICHEVER IS LEAST COSTLY TO THE PRECINCT.
THAT'S WHAT I WAS CORRECT, BECAUSE IT'S GONNA DEPEND ON THE LOCATION, PRECINCT LOCATION THERE.
THERE'S DIFFERENCE REGARDING THE LOCATION.
THERE'S ALSO A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENCE ON THE HALL FEES, A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT ON DIFFERENT THINGS THERE.
SO I WOULD, MY MO MY MOTION IS FOR THE ONE AND I'LL IT YOUR MOTION, THE ONE COMPANY.
KIM, DID YOU SPEAK WITH MD ON THIS? 'CAUSE I WANNA SAY, AND I'VE SLEPT SINCE THEN, BUT I WANNA SAY FOR PRECINCT TWO, TJ'S, THE TJ'S IS THE, IS CHEAPER.
SO MY PREFERENCE WOULD BE WE ACCEPT THEM BOTH AND THEN EACH COMMISSIONER CAN PICK WHICH ONE'S BETTER FINANCIALLY FOR THEMSELVES.
'CAUSE FOR TJ, FOR US, TJ'S A LOT, A LOT CHEAPER.
THAT WOULD BE, THAT WOULD, I WOULD TEND TO FEEL THAT WAY MYSELF.
AND SO WASTE CONNECTIONS IS CHEAPER FOR ME BECAUSE OF THE LOCATION.
YOU WANT TO WANT TO RECONSIDER YOUR MOTION THERE, MR. CONLEY? WELL, IF IT HELPS YOU TWO GUYS, I, AND IT'S NOT GONNA HURT WHAT WE GET.
I'LL REMOVE MINE AND WE'LL REDO IT.
OKAY, WELL, WE'LL DO THE BOTH.
SO YOU REMOVED YOUR, YOUR MOTION? YES.
SO I, I'LL, I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE, UH, MAKE THE AWARD TO BOTH OF THE SUBMITTERS AND THAT THE INDIVIDUAL PRECINCTS BE ABLE TO SELECT WHICH ONE IS THE BETTER VALUE FOR THEIR PRECINCT.
A MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN WITH A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER HOLT.
IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM? AND TO CLARIFY, THIS IS ITEM.
WHAT ITEM ARE THE THIS ITEM? FOUR.
ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR.
COMMISSIONER, YOU GOTTA MAKE SURE THERE'S NO HIDDEN ITEMS IN THERE.
OKAY, BECAUSE I'M NOT CONFIDENT THERE'S NOT ANY MOVED.

[5.C. Discuss/Take action on engineering contract for the 1-20 Ramp project between Tin Top and Bethel Road. (Chris Bosco / Judge Deen)]
C, DISCUSS TAKE ACTION ON ENGINEERING CONTRACT WITH THE I 20 RAMP PROJECT BETWEEN 10 TOP AND BETHEL ROAD.CHRIS, SORRY, IT TOOK, TOOK TIME TO GET TO YOU.
UH, CHRIS BOSCO WITH FREEZER NICHOLS.
UH, SO, UH, HAVE, UH, THREE, THREE DIFFERENT CONTRACTS.
THE FIRST ONE, UH, BEING THE I 20 AND BETHEL ROAD.
UM, SO THIS PROJECT IS, UH, TO REFRESH YOUR MEMORY, THIS IS ONE OF THE ONES THAT, UH, COG AND THE STATE HAS FUNDED.
UH, SO THESE ARE THE TWO RAMPS THAT WILL ACCESS BETHEL ROAD, WHERE THE HIGH SCHOOL IS AND, UH, SOME DEVELOPMENT AROUND BETHEL ROAD.
UM, SO ONE OF THE KEY THINGS HERE IS, UH, THE CITY OF WEATHERFORD HAS BEEN WORKING WITH GRAHAM AND ASSOCIATES OVER THE LAST YEAR, AND THEY'VE COMPLETED THE SCHEMATIC AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL, UH, AND THEY'VE DONE THE, UH, INTERSTATE ACCESS JUSTIFICATION.
THEY'VE SUBMITTED A DRAFT THAT'S THAT UNDER REVIEW RIGHT NOW.
UH, SO ONE REASON WHY WE THOUGHT, YOU KNOW, FROM EFFICIENCY STANDPOINT, HAVING GRAHAM ADDED TO OUR TEAM TO
[00:50:01]
DO THE FINAL DESIGN MAKES A LOT OF SENSE IN TERMS OF, UH, YOU KNOW, THE EFFICIENCY AND THEIR, YOU KNOW, KNOWLEDGE OF THE PROJECT.UH, AND SO THE PROPOSAL HERE IS FOR IT IS FOR FINISHING UP THE INTERSTATE ACCESS JUSTIFICATION.
THEY'RE STILL WAITING TO GET COMMENTS FROM UH, AUSTIN ON THAT.
UH, AND THEN THEY'LL FINISH THAT UP.
AND THEN NEXT IS ALL THE FINAL DESIGN SPECS ESTIMATES.
ONE OF THE THINGS ABOUT THIS PROJECT, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY WE, WE CALL IT A RAMP PROJECT, BUT IT ACTUALLY, IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THAT AREA, THE TOPOGRAPHY ISS CHALLENGING.
SO, UH, THIS PROJECT ACTUALLY REQUIRES, YOU HAVE THE RAMPS, YOU KNOW, THAT WILL BE DIRECTLY, UH, NEAR BETHEL, BUT EVERYWHERE YOU SEE THE GREEN, THERE ARE RETAINING WALLS 'CAUSE OF THE TOPOGRAPHY.
SO IT'S GONNA BE KIND OF BRACKETED BY RETAINING WALLS.
AND THEN WITH THE, UH, ACCELERATION LANES, IT ACTUALLY HAS TO WIDEN THE 10 TOP BRIDGE ON 20 AS WELL.
SO IT'S ONE REASON WHY THESE RAMPS HAVE, YOU KNOW, PROBABLY TAKEN THIS LONG TO GET DONE.
IT'S QUITE AN EXTENSIVE, UH, RAMP PROJECT.
UH, ONE OF THE CONDITIONS, UH, TO MAKE YOU, UH, KNOWLEDGEABLE ON IS WHEN COG FUNDED THIS, THEY SAID THAT THEY'RE FUNDED ON THE CONDITION THAT NOTHING HAS TO BE REMOVED WHEN THE BIGGER JOB COMES THROUGH.
SO THAT'S GONNA BE A KEY ELEMENT THAT GRAHAM AND UH, US AND WEATHERFORD WILL BE WORKING THROUGH IS, UH, SO THERE MIGHT BE SOME SLIGHT MODIFICATIONS TO THE CONCEPT BASED ON WHATEVER, YOU KNOW, ULTIMATELY WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A FUNCTIONAL PROJECT TODAY.
AND IF THERE CAN BE SOME ELEMENTS, LIKE MAYBE THE AUXILIARY LANES COULD BE A LITTLE SHORTER THAT THEY PICK UP WITH A BIGGER JOB, UH, THAT WOULD BE THE GOAL.
BUT, UH, CURRENTLY THIS, WHAT YOU SEE HERE IS WHAT HAS BEEN APPROVED BY TECH STOCK TO DATE.
AND SO, UM, SO A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE COST ON THIS PROJECT.
SO ONCE AGAIN, THIS WOULD BE TO DO THE FINAL, UH, ENGINEERING, UH, ALL THE ESTIMATES WORKING WITH THE STATE, UH, TO GET THOSE APPROVALS.
UH, THE FEE PROPOSED FOR THIS IS 2,593,503.
SO THAT WOULD BE, UH, GRAHAM'S EFFORT TO COMPLETE THE ENGINEERING.
UH, SO JUST THE DISTINCTION THERE, THAT'S ALWAYS BEEN OUR ARRANGEMENT WITH THE COUNTY.
UH, SO IF THERE'S SCOPE ITEMS IN THIS CONTRACT THAT, UH, GRAHAM DOESN'T HAVE TO COMPLETE, THOSE WILL BE, UH, WON'T BE BILLED AND, AND THOSE FUNDS COULD BE ALLOCATED TO ANOTHER JOB.
SO, UH, SO EXAMPLE WOULD BE MR. BOSCO.
SO JUST ON THAT POINT, IT SAYS THE PROPOSED HOURLY FEE FOR PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING SERVICES IS 2.5, 2.6 MILLION BUCKS.
IF AN HOURLY FEE IS 2.6 MILLION, THAT SEEMS TO READ.
YEAH, SO THAT SEEMS TO READ THAT Y'ALL ARE, THAT WE'RE GETTING CHARGED 2.6 MILLION PER HOUR.
YEAH, I NO, IT, WHAT WE'RE THE REFERENCE THERE IS TO SAY IT? SO YOU HAVE LIKE A LUMP SUM FEE.
I JUST WANTED YOU ON RECORD SAYING THAT.
UH, AND, AND THEN, UH, THE FREEZE OF NICHOLS PORTION FOR MANAGING, UH, THE CONSULTANT IS 121,950.
SO OUR ROLE WOULD BE REVIEWING ALL THE PLANS, WORKING WITH THEM WITH, UH, TECH STOCK AND COG, THE CITY OF WEATHERFORD.
UH, AND THEN, UH, ANY KIND OF, UH, MANAGING OF THEIR CONTRACT, WE'LL BE REVIEWING ALL THEIR INVOICES AND, AND SUBMITTING THOSE TO KIM.
BUT THAT WOULD BE OUR ROLE, UH, IN THIS PROJECT.
AND THEN GRAHAM WOULD, UH, DELIVER THE DESIGN.
UH, SO THE, THE BUDGET ON THE PROJECT FROM A CONSTRUCTION STANDPOINT IS A LITTLE OVER 23 MILLION.
UH, SO THAT BRINGS, THIS COMBINED FEE IS A LITTLE UNDER 12%.
SO GENERALLY WE'RE LOOKING BETWEEN 10 AND 15%, UH, FOR COMPLETING THE ENGINEERING.
BUT OF COURSE WEATHERFORD HAS ALREADY DONE SOME OF THAT WORK WITH A SCHEMATIC.
UH, AND THEN ANOTHER POINT OF DATA IS WHAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW AND WHAT, WHAT THE VOTERS APPROVED WAS 2,770,000 FOR THE ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT.
SO WE'RE A LITTLE BIT UNDER THAT.
UM, AND SO THAT, THAT'S KIND OF A KEY ELEMENT AS WELL.
UH, SO WITH THAT, I'LL OPEN IT TO OTHER QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE.
GO, GO BACK TO THE PREVIOUS SCREEN THERE AND JUST IN LAYMAN'S TERMS, TELL US WHAT'S HAPPENING.
SO THE, THE RED WOULD REPRESENT, UH, THE CONCRETE.
SO YOU HAVE A ON AND OFF RAMP THERE APPROACHING BETHEL.
UH, THEN AS WE ZOOM IN, SO RELOCATION OF THOSE, UH, DO WHAT AGAIN? RE RELOCATION OF THOSE? NO.
SO THEY DON'T EXIST THERE RIGHT NOW.
SO THAT ESTABLISHMENT OF THOSE THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO TELL.
I WANT, I WANT SOMEBODY THAT'S LISTENING TO THIS TO BE ABLE TO KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING.
[00:55:01]
GONE TO THE HIGH SCHOOL, YOU HAVE TO EXIT BEFORE MAIN.SO EVERYONE HAS TO GO THROUGH MAIN, HAS TO GO THROUGH 10 TOP.
SO THAT'S WHY THERE'S BEEN A HIGH DESIRE FOR THESE RAMPS ORIGINALLY FOR THE HIGH SCHOOL, BUT NOW THAT THERE'S DEVELOPMENT INTEREST, RIGHT.
UH, THAT EVEN MAKES IT MORE OF IMPORTANT PROJECT.
AND SO ONE OF THE THINGS, UH, PARTICULARLY WITH THE ADJACENT RAMPS, UH, SO THE RAMPS AT MAIN STREET, UH, ONE OF THEIR REQUIREMENTS FOR SAFETY IS TO HAVE AN AUXILIARY LANE.
SO ACTUALLY WIDEN THE HIGHWAY FOR BOTH ACCELERATING AND DECELERATING GOING INTO THE RAMPS.
UH, WHICH IS PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT HERE BECAUSE OF TOPOGRAPHY.
UH, SO THAT'S WHY YOU SEE THE CONCRETE EXTENDING ACROSS BETHEL.
AND, AND I KNOW THAT WAS AN ELEMENT EARLY ON, UH, THERE WAS HOPES THAT THE RAMPS COULD END BEFORE BETHEL OR BEFORE 10 TOP.
UH, BUT THAT'S NOT GONNA MEET THE SAFETY REQUIREMENTS.
SO THAT'S WHY THE BRIDGE NEEDS TO BE WIDENED THERE.
UH, AND THEN AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, UH, WITH THE TOPOGRAPHY WHERE YOU SEE THOSE GREEN LINES KIND OF BRACKETING THE RED THAT THOSE REPRESENT RETAINING WALLS, UH, TO BE ABLE TO MAKE IT ALL FIT, UM, 'CAUSE OF THE UP AND DOWN TOPOGRAPHY THERE.
UH, BUT YEAH, SO THAT'S A, THAT KIND OF GIVES YOU AN OVERVIEW OF, OF THE PROJECT.
WE'RE EXCITED THAT IT WAS ONE OF THE FIRST PROJECTS FUNDED 'CAUSE IT, IT WAS OUR TOP PRIORITY.
UM, SO ANY OTHER QUESTIONS YOU HAD MENTIONED THERE AT 10 TOP AND THAT BRIDGE MM-HMM.
BUT IN THE BIGGER PROJECT THAT THE STATE'S DOING, UH, WHAT THEY WOULD ULTIMATELY DO IS ADD THE U-TURNS 'CAUSE OF THERE THE HIGHWAY GOES OVER 10 TOP.
SO YEAH, IN THE LONG RUN THERE WOULD BE, BUT THAT'S BUT NOT IN THIS.
THIS, THIS PROJECT IS, IS NOT GONNA, NOW THE, THAT BEING SAID, THE ANY EXTENSION WE DO TO 10 TOP WILL ACCOUNT FOR, THAT'S KIND OF BACK TO NOT HAVING ANY, UM, WASTE.
SO, UH, GRAHAM WILL NEED TO KIND OF ACCOUNT FOR WHAT THAT MIGHT BE LIKE WITH, UH, THE ULTIMATE PROJECT AND THE U-TURN WORKING WITH THE, THE BIG CLAMP.
THE OTHER QUESTION I HAD, UH, MENTIONING THE, HOPEFULLY WE'RE SAVING SOME ENGINEERING COSTS BECAUSE THAT COMPANY HAD ALREADY BEEN WORKING WITH THE CITY OF WEATHERFORD.
RIGHT? WITH THE, WHERE YOU SAID WE WERE OVERALL AT ABOUT 12%, IS THAT ACCOUNTING FOR THAT SAVINGS ALSO? YEAH.
SO WHAT, LIKE GENERALLY, UH, ON A PROJECT LIKE THIS, THE, THE ENGINEERING FEES WOULD BE SOMEWHERE IN THAT 12 TO 15%.
SO I'M SAYING THAT, UH, SINCE SOME OF THAT'S ALREADY BEEN DONE, THAT'S WHY THERE'S, IT'S A LITTLE, YOU KNOW, UNDER 12 AT THIS POINT.
SO WOULD THAT, THAT'S WHAT I'M KIND OF GETTING AT.
IS THAT THE DIFFERENCE IN THAT 3% TO 15? CORRECT.
BUT WHEN WE BUDGETED THE JOB, WE, WE HAD ALREADY HAD KNOWLEDGE THAT GRAHAM WAS WORKING WITH WEATHERFORD.
SO WHEN WE GOT THE FUNDING, WE GOT THE FUNDING FOR THE FINAL DESIGN.
KNOWING THAT THEY WERE ALREADY WORKING ON THE SCHEMATIC.
SO THE TOTAL COST FOR THE MANAGEMENT THOUGH, IS THAT 15% OH, THE, WE'RE JUST TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE 3%.
THE 15 INCLUDES BOTH THE MANAGEMENT THAT WE'RE DOING AND ALL THE DESIGN.
SO IT'S, UH, SO THE MANAGEMENT IS NOT 15%, IT'S JUST A, WHEN I'M USING THE TERM 15%, I'M TALKING ABOUT THE, OF THE TOTAL CONSTRUCTION.
I KNOW THE RANGE, I WISH THE RANGE WAS 12% MINUS WHAT'S ALREADY IN WITH CITY WEATHERFORD.
THAT, THAT'S WHY I WAS GETTING AT, TO UNDERSTAND.
SO I, I THINK THE, IT WOULD BE MORE LIKE 15 AND THEN CAME DOWN.
BUT THE, ON THIS SPECIFIC JOB, SINCE WE ALREADY KNEW THAT WAS UNDERWAY, WE JUST BUDGETED FOR THE FINAL DESIGN.
AND SO IT DIDN'T HAVE THAT, UM, SAVINGS ACCOUNTED FOR IN THERE.
CHRIS, THE QUESTION WE ALWAYS GET ASKED IS WE'RE WE'RE GONNA APPROVE THIS TODAY, UH, GIVE US A SORT OF A TIMEFRAME SO THE FUNDING IS APPROVED FOR IT FROM TEXDOT, RIGHT? RIGHT.
SO, UM, SO WE IMMEDIATELY GET GRAHAM UNDER CONTRACT FOR THE FINAL DESIGN.
THEY'RE UNDER CONTRACT RIGHT NOW WITH WEATHERFORD AS THEY'RE FINISHING UP THAT INTERSTATE JUSTIFICATION STUDY.
UH, SO THEY'LL GO RIGHT INTO THE DESIGN AND THEN WE'LL BE, I WILL BE PRESENTING Y'ALL A FULL SCHEDULE THAT GRAHAM PRODUCES.
BUT, UH, RIGHT NOW I, I BELIEVE TECH STOCK HAD A 2027 AS WHERE THAT FUNDING RESIDES.
SO WE'LL BE WORKING TOWARDS, UM, ACHIEVING THAT, YOU KNOW, WITHIN THE FISCAL YEAR OF 2027, HAVING THE PROJECT READY FOR BIDS.
THOSE ARE THE KINDS OF QUESTIONS WE GET ASKED.
[01:00:01]
YEAH.AND PART OF IT, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE OTHER ONES I'M PRESENTING TO Y'ALL TODAY IS THE PROGRAM MANAGEMENT PART.
WE WILL, WE'LL HAVE THE FULL SCHEDULE THAT WILL BE PRESENTED TO THE PUBLIC.
I'M GONNA MOVE THAT WE APPROVE.
MOTION I MADE BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN FOR APPROVAL.
UH, DO WE HAVE A SECOND ON THIS ITEM? I'LL SECOND, BUT I HAVE A QUESTION FOR MR. BOS.
MR. BOSCOE SECOND BY COMMISSIONER HOLT.
WE'RE IN THE DISCUSSION PHASE.
COMMISSIONER, IF THE PROJECT DRAGS ON FOR A WHILE, DO THE FEES, THE HOURLY FEES GET ADJUSTED AT ALL? OR ARE WE SET AT THOSE FEES SO WE ARE SET WITHIN THE SCHEDULE? IF, IF, IF IT WAS TO GET DRUG AT NO FAULT OF GRAMS, YOU KNOW, THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING WE WOULD, YOU KNOW, WE'D HAVE TO DISCUSS.
UH, BUT IF, IF IT'S, YOU KNOW, THEM TAKING MORE TIME TO DO THE DESIGN OR, OR WITHIN THAT NORMAL RANGE OF THE FUNDING, THEN THESE ARE THE FEES.
DO WE FORESEE ANY ISSUES OR CONCERNS? YOU'VE MENTIONED TOPOGRAPHY AS A CONCERN.
DO WE, IS THERE ANY CONCERNS HERE THAT THIS MAY ESCALATE? SEE, AND, AND WHEN I SAY CONCERNS, I'M JUST SAYING IT'S A COMPLEX PROJECT, BUT THE FACT THAT THEY ALREADY HAVE THE ENVIRONMENTAL APPROVED AND THEY'RE CLOSE.
SO ON THESE PROJECTS, THERE'S THE ENVIRONMENTAL IS THE, THE MAJOR, UH, MILESTONE.
SECOND IS THAT INTERSTATE JUSTIFICATION.
UH, AND SINCE THEY'RE SO FAR ALONG ON THOSE, THAT KIND OF ELIMINATES A TYPICAL RISK THAT YOU MIGHT ENCOUNTER ON AN INTERSTATE.
LITTLE BIT BETTER ASSURANCE ON THAT.
ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM? VERY LAST THING I HAVE IS, UH, MR. MARBA, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD? I KNOW THAT, UM, WITH YOUR POSITION WITH THE CITY, SORRY TO PUT YOU ON THE SPOT LIKE THAT.
NO, IT'S, THANK YOU FOR DOING THAT, JACOB.
YEAH, CHAD MARBA, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS CITY, WEATHERFORD.
WE'RE JUST EXCITED TO PARTNER ON THIS AND ALL THE OTHER PROJECTS THAT ARE SO KEY TO OUR, OUR AREA.
SO, UH, WE DO HAVE SUBSTANTIAL PROGRESS ON THIS ONE.
SO REALLY LOW HANGING FRUIT AS FAR AS BEING ABLE TO EXECUTE SOME OF THESE PROJECTS.
SO JUST EXCITED TO, TO MOVE FORWARD.
ANYTHING ELSE YOU HAVE CHRIS? UH, NOT ON THIS ONE.
UM, WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.
IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM? ALL IN FAVOR.
[5.D. Discuss/Take action on construction management, inspection, and testing contract for the intersection of FM 920 and Willow Creek project. (Chris Bosco / Judge Deen)]
ITEM D DISCUSSION.TAKE ACTION ON CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT, INSPECTION AND TESTING CONTRACT FOR THE INTERSECTION OF FM NINE 20 AND WILLOW CREEK PROJECT.
CHRIS, UH, SO THIS IS, UH, THE PROJECT THAT'S UNDERWAY IN PRECINCT TWO.
AND SO IT'S THE, UH, FM NINE 20 TURN LANES AT, AT WILLOW CREEK.
UH, SO THAT PROJECT, THE CONTRACTOR HAS MOBILIZED.
SO IF YOU RECALL, WE, YOU KNOW, WE BID IT, I GUESS IT WAS EARLY, UH, DECEMBER.
AND SO WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET THEM UNDERWAY.
THEY'VE DONE SOME INITIAL, UH, CULVERT WORK AND GETTING READY TO, UH, START ADDING THE TURN LANE, UH, PAVING.
WHAT THIS WOULD BE IS THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT, UH, INSPECTION AND THE MATERIALS TESTING.
UH, AND SO WE'LL BE MANAGING THE CONSTRUCTION AND PROVIDING, UH, THOSE REPORTS TO THE STATE.
UH, THE FEE ON THAT IS, UH, FOR EACH ONE OF THOSE COMPONENTS IS 135,624, UH, SIMILAR TO WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT IN THE LAST ONE.
IT'S ALSO A HOURLY CONTRACT, UH, AS IS THE TESTING.
SO IF WE DO LESS TESTING AND, UH, YOU KNOW, THE PROJECT FINISHES AHEAD, THEN, UH, THAT WILL BE REDUCED AT THAT POINT.
UH, THE CONTRACTOR, WE, WE EXPECT TO BE SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETE IN MAY WITH FINAL COMPLETION IN JUNE.
AND SO THIS PROJECT, IF, IF YOU RECALL IN THE LAST BOND, WE WERE, UH, KIND OF WORKING TOWARDS THIS BEING, UH, FUNDED AS A STATE PROJECT, UH, BUT IT WAS NOT, YOU KNOW, IN THE TIMELINE NEEDED FOR ALL THE DEVELOPMENTS AROUND THE SCHOOL AND THE WILLOW CREEK.
SO THIS PROJECT HAS PROCEEDED AS A, AS A BOND PROJECT.
I HAVE A QUESTION FOR BRIANNA.
DO WE HAVE, AND I GUESS THIS IS FOR YOU ALSO, MR. BOSCO, DO WE HAVE, UM, FUNDING AVAILABLE FOR THIS WITH THE, FROM THE SAME SOURCE THAT WE PULLED FOR THE ACTUAL CONSTRUCTION? 'CAUSE THAT PART WE'VE ALREADY AWARDED, I BELIEVE.
SO THIS ONE IS ONE, UH, LIKE A FEW OF THE OTHER ONES LIKE OLD WEATHERFORD ROAD.
SO IT'S PART OF THE 2023 BOND.
AND SO, UH, WHEN WE GET THOSE NEW FUNDS IN THAT THE Y'ALL PROOF TODAY, THEN WE WILL REBALANCE THAT AND THE, THE MONIES WE SPENT FROM THE LAST BOND WILL GO INTO CONTINGENCY.
BRIANNA, DO YOU HAVE ANY, SO JUST SO EVERYONE'S CLEAR, AND I KNOW WE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE, BUT WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT REALLOCATING RE WE'RE REALLOCATING THE BUDGET.
SO THE EXPENSES ARE ALWAYS GONNA STAY WITH THE FUNDS THAT WE HAD AT THAT TIME.
SO IT WOULD BE REBALANCING THE BUDGETS AND THEN PUTTING IN CONTINGENCY AND THEN HAVING THE COURT THEN, YOU KNOW, TAKE FURTHER ACTION ON ADDITIONAL PROJECTS AT THAT TIME.
JUST MAKING SURE THOUGH, YOU HAVE NO CONCERNS WITH THIS FROM A BUDGETARY STANDPOINT? NO, NOT
[01:05:01]
FROM THE REMAINING FUNDS.AND ALSO WITH THAT LAST ITEM, YOU KNOW, I WAS ACTUALLY TALKING TO KIM ABOUT THAT, OF JUST, YOU KNOW, US TRACKING THESE BECAUSE WE CANNOT APPROPRIATE ADDITIONAL FUNDS UNTIL WE ACTUALLY HAVE DRAWN DOWN THE 2023 FUNDS.
SO WE CAN MAKE APPROVALS UP TO THE REMAINING FUNDS WE HAVE IN 2016.
AND THEN AT THAT TIME, ONCE WE HAVE THE DRAW DOWN, THEN WE WILL SWITCH OVER TO THOSE FUNDS.
ANYTHING ELSE ON THAT? UH, NO.
NO, WHICH IS GREAT BECAUSE IT ALLOWS TO GET STARTED AND MOVE QUICKLY.
UH, MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER HALL, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER WALDENS THERE.
ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM BEFORE WE VOTE? ALL IN FAVOR? MOTION PASSES.
[5.E. Discuss/Take action on program management contract for the 2023 Bond Program. (Chris Bosco / Judge Deen)]
ME ON DISCUSS, TAKE ACTION ON PROGRAM MANAGEMENT CONTRACT FOR THE 2023 BOND PROGRAM.UM, SO ONE OF THE, IN THE PAST TWO BONDS, THE WAY THAT WE HAD DONE PROGRAM MANAGEMENT IS WE BASICALLY HAD A, A PORTION OF BUDGET PER PROJECT.
UH, IN ANOTHER COUNTY I'M WORKING IN.
THEY HAD REQUESTED, HEY, WE'D LIKE TO SEE THE PROGRAM MANAGEMENT SEPARATED FROM THE PROJECTS.
AND THAT SEEMED LIKE A BETTER WAY OF MANAGING IT.
THEN Y'ALL ARE ABLE TO SEE, YOU KNOW, FROM COST OF MONTHLY REPORTING, ALL THE, UH, I'VE BEEN TALKING TO Y'ALL ABOUT THE, UH, POWER BI THAT WE WANT TO USE.
IT'S LIKE A DASHBOARD OF THE FINANCES.
UH, SO WHAT THIS HAS IS LIKE THE, THE PROGRAM MANAGEMENT EFFORT ASIDE FROM EACH PROJECT.
SO OBVIOUSLY THERE'S SOME OVERLAP THERE IN THE FACT THAT, UH, WE'RE MANAGING EACH OF THE DESIGNS.
UM, AND, BUT WHAT THIS WOULD ACCOUNT FOR IS LIKE THE, THE COG AND TECH STOCK, UH, COORDINATION THAT WE DO, THE ADVANCED FUNDING AGREEMENTS, UH, THAT WE'LL WORK ON EACH OF THOSE PROJECTS.
AND SO I'LL KIND OF GO THROUGH A SUMMARY HERE OF WHAT OUR, WHAT EACH SCOPE ITEM.
SO I'VE TALKED TO Y'ALL ABOUT THE PROGRAM MANAGEMENT PLAN.
WE'VE DONE A LOT OF ELEMENTS OF THIS AND THAT.
WE'VE BEEN DEVELOPING THE SCHEDULES, THE CASH FLOW THAT, UH, GEORGE WILLIFORD HAD USED, UH, RELATIVE TO THE BOND SALE.
UH, AND SO THAT'S ONE KEY ELEMENT.
ONE OF THE ONES THAT WE'RE LOOKING TO START ON IS WHAT I'M TITLE IN THE COMMUNICATION TOOL.
SO, UH, WE HAD TALKED ABOUT MAMIE HAVING A PROGRAM MANAGEMENT, UH, SOFTWARE SYSTEM, BUT, UH, THE POWER BI AND THE SHAREPOINT ARE KIND OF OFF THE SHELF PRODUCT, SO THERE'S NO, UH, MONTHLY FEED OF THE COUNTY ON THOSE KIND OF SYSTEMS. AND WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR THAT TO BE, IT WOULD BE A FINANCIAL DASHBOARD THAT YOU WOULD SEE IN REAL TIME.
AND, AND THEN MONTHLY WHEN WE DO THE MONTHLY REPORTS, WE'LL SNAPSHOT THAT DATA SO THE PUBLIC CAN SEE THAT, AND THAT WOULD BE UPLOADED TO, UH, THE WEBSITE.
UH, SO THAT'S, YOU KNOW, WHAT I WOULD SAY AN UPGRADE ON WHAT WE'VE DONE IN THE PAST WHERE Y'ALL ARE SEEING THAT DATA MONTH TO MONTH.
NOW Y'ALL WILL SEE IT THE SAME TIME WE SEE IT AND BRIANNA SEES IT.
Y'ALL WILL HAVE A, EACH HAVE A DASHBOARD TO SEE THAT WE WERE GONNA SET IT UP WHERE IT'S, YOU COULD SEE THE ENTIRE COUNTY OR YOUR PRECINCT SPECIFIC.
UH, SO THAT'S A, A, A TOOL THAT, UH, WE'RE LOOKING TO IMPLEMENT, OF COURSE, THE MONTHLY REPORTS, UM, AND WE'VE TALKED ABOUT DOING THAT KIND OF THE FIRST MEETING OF EACH MONTH.
UH, AND THEN WE WOULD UPLOAD THOSE REPORTS TO THE WEBSITE.
UH, SO THE WEBSITE, YOU KNOW, WE OF COURSE HAVE THAT ALREADY IN PLACE.
WE WOULD JUST MODIFY THAT TO HAVE A HOUSING OF THE REPORTS.
AND THEN, UH, WE'RE GONNA START HAVING PUBLIC MEETINGS IN THE CONCEPT OF FOR LIKE THE RAMP PROJECT THAT Y'ALL JUST APPROVED.
WE'LL DO PUBLIC MEETINGS FOR THAT.
SO THE WEBSITE WILL BE UPDATED TO KIND OF, UH, ALLOW THE PUBLIC TO SEE WHEN THOSE EVENTS ARE, IF THEY DON'T LIVE IN THE VICINITY OF THAT SPECIFIC PROJECT.
UH, WE'RE OF COURSE WORKING ON THE CONSULTANT SELECTION, SO THAT RF Q'S, UH, ALREADY BEEN ADVERTISED, UH, FOR THE I 20 FRONTAGE ROADS FM 1187 AND FM SEVEN 30.
UH, THE COG COORDINATION, UH, THAT'S OF COURSE BEEN ACTIVE SINCE THE BOND PASSED.
UH, BUT IN ADDITION TO THAT, THOSE QUARTERLY MEETINGS WITH THEM, WE WILL, UH, ALSO BE DOING THE ADVANCED FUNDING AGREEMENTS OR WE DO THE DRAFT OF THAT.
ULTIMATELY THAT'S APPROVED BY JOHN.
UH, BUT JUST COORDINATING WITH, WITH TECH STOCK ON THOSE AGREEMENTS.
UM, AND THEN THE SUBS CONSULTING COORDINATION, LIKE, SO THAT'S, UH, NEGOTIATING AND KIND OF WORKING THROUGH SCOPING EACH OF THE TEAMING PARTNERS, UM, THAT WE WORK WITH, UH, WHETHER THAT BE THE LEGAL SIDE OR, OR SURVEYORS, UH, PROJECT CONTROLS IS, IS THAT KIND OF MANAGEMENT, UH, UH, EACH OF THE ELEMENTS OF THE PROGRAM, WHETHER THAT BE FROM A FUNDING SIDE OR, UH, INVOICE MANAGEMENT.
AND, UH, WITH EACH OF THE PARTNERS, I PUT STAKEHOLDER MEETINGS.
YOU KNOW, WE'VE DONE THE ONE ON CHURCH, UH,
[01:10:01]
I'M ASSUMING THERE'LL BE OTHERS TO COME, UH, JUST AS CITIZENS WANT AN UPDATE ON THE PROGRESS.UH, AND THEN I HAD A SECTION IN HERE FOR GENERAL CONSULTING.
SO THIS WOULD BE ANY, UH, THING THAT Y'ALL MIGHT NEED FOR MAYBE LIKE, COORDINATION WITH A DEVELOPER OR SOMETHING THAT'S OUTSIDE OF, OF THE, THE PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE.
UM, AND, AND SIMILAR TO THE OTHER CONTRACTS, THIS WOULD BE A, A CONTRACT THAT IS, UH, AN HOURLY.
AND, AND SO WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IS, AS, AS WE GET TO THE END OF THIS YEAR, ANY SAVINGS FROM THIS WOULD ROLL INTO THE NEXT YEAR.
UM, AND, AND WHAT I'LL DO IN THE MONTHLY REPORT IS WE'LL CARVE OUT THE, THE, THE BUDGETS WE PUT IN INDIVIDUAL PROJECTS IN THE PLANNING STAGE WILL HAVE IT AS ITS OWN PROJECT FOR THE PROGRAM MANAGEMENT.
ANY QUESTIONS FOR CHRIS ON THIS ONE? CHRIS, YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE ON THAT ONE? UH, NO.
IT, IT'S, UM, YOU KNOW, LIKE I, I THINK, YOU KNOW, WE'VE MET, I MET WITH A LOT OF, WE'RE, WE ARE WORKING ON THIS NOW AND WE DIDN'T STOP SINCE, UH, THE BOND PASSED, BUT, UH, JUST TRYING TO GET, SO I CAN GET THE TEAM GOING ON A LOT OF THESE THINGS, LIKE THE WEBSITE UPDATE, GETTING THE POWER BI DASHBOARD, THAT'S SKILLS I DON'T HAVE.
LITERALLY THE NEXT DAY WE STARTED.
MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER COLLEY, THIS SECOND BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN.
ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS? ALL IN FAVOR? MOTION PASSES BY VOTE.
[5.F. Approve contracts for May 4, 2024 election and authorize County Attorney to sign the contracts. (Crickett Miller / Judge Deen)]
MOVE TO ITEM F ON APPROVED CONTRACTS FOR MAY 4TH, 2024 ELECTION AND AUTHORIZED COUNTY ATTORNEY TO SIGN THE CONTRACTS.UH, THIS IS JUST THE CONTRACTS FOR THE MAY 4TH ELECTION.
I'M GONNA READ 'EM OUT TO YOU SO YOU JUST KIND OF KNOW WHO IT IS.
IT'S PARKER COUNTY APPRAISAL DISTRICT.
THIS WILL BE THEIR FIRST ONE THAT THEY'RE GONNA HAVE.
MILLSAP, ISD, CITY OF FORT WORTH, GRANBERRY, ISD, CRESCENT, CROSSROADS MUD UTILITY DISTRICT TWO, CITY OF RENO, WALNUT CREEK, SUD, PI ISD, IL I-S-D-E-S-D SIX, SPRING, UH, CITY OF SPRINGTOWN AND SPRINGTOWN, ISD ARE ALL THE ONES THAT WE WILL HAVE.
AND WHAT'S THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT'S ELECTION? WHAT'S IT FOR TO ANYBODY KNOW? OKAY.
SO IF YOU'RE OVER 175,000 PEOPLE POPULATION WISE, YOU HAVE TO HAVE THREE ELECTED MEMBERS.
SO THIS IS FOR THEIR THREE ELECTED.
THEY ONLY HAVE ONE THAT WAS ACTUALLY OPPOSED, BUT THEY WILL HAVE TO HAVE ALL THREE ON THE BALLOT.
AND THEN THE NEXT ONE WILL BE NOVEMBER OF 2026 WILL BE THE NEXT ELECTION THAT THEY WILL HAVE TO HOLD, AND THEY'LL BE ON NOVEMBER FROM THEN ON.
SO THERE'S A CHANGE IN THE STATUTE THAT SAID THAT, UH, THREE, I GUESS HAVE TO BE ELECTED BY POPULAR VOTE.
AND THIS IS, AND THE OTHERS ARE STILL APPOINTED, AND THEY'RE, IT IS AT LARGE AND IT HAS INCREASED THEM.
THEY HAD SIX MEMBERS, NOW THEY WILL HAVE NINE MEMBERS.
WHAT IS, CAN YOU EXPLAIN A LITTLE BIT WHAT THE ELECTION IS ON THAT CRESCENT MUD DISTRICT TWO? UM, DO YOU KNOW? WELL, THEY HAD IT IN, UH, THE LAST MAY ELECTION, NOVEMBER ELECTION, BUT THE INDIVIDUAL THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE REGISTERED TO VOTE DID NOT MAKE THE DEADLINE.
SO THEY HAD TO CANCEL IT AT THAT POINT IN TIME.
WELL, IT JUST DIDN'T, IT WAS ON THE BALLOT, BUT YET NOBODY VOTED IN IT.
SO NOW THEY'RE TRYING TO DO IT AGAIN.
AND I REALLY DON'T KNOW THE MUDS.
I DON'T YEAH, NOT A HUNDRED PERCENT SURE ON ALL THOSE.
BUT THE MORNINGSTAR MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT HAS TALKING ABOUT WATER HAS BILL WATER, YES.
AND THE SUD ONE IS ACTUALLY BOARD MEMBERS, IS WHAT THEY'RE, THEIRS IS, OKAY.
BUT THE, THE CRESCENT IS TAXING SOMETHING.
SO THE, THE SD ELECTION IS FOR THE SALES TAX? YES.
UH, AS SOON AS WE HAVE SAMPLE BALLOTS, I'LL LET Y'ALL KNOW WHEN THEY HAVE THE FAVOR ON THE WEBSITE.
[5.H. Waive 10-day job posting for Operator Precinct 2 position. (Commissioner Holt)]
TO H ON THE WAIVE 10 DAY JOB POSTING FOR OPERATOR PRECINCT TWO.WE HAD A, UH, POSITION FILLED RECENTLY THAT THE PERSON WHO FILLED IT ELECTED TO LOOK ELSEWHERE FOR EMPLOYMENT.
AND SO WE ARE WANTING TO WAIVE THE 10 DAY JOB POSTING TO BRING ON A PRIOR APPLICANT.
MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER HALT.

ANY DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM? ALL IN FAVOR.
[5.I. Discuss/Take action on health screenings provided by the Bad Enough to Wear Blue Foundation. (Becky McCullough / Commissioner Walden)]
GOOD.[01:15:01]
ON HEALTH, HEALTH SCREENINGS PROVIDED BY THE BAD ENOUGH TO WEAR BLUE FOUNDATION.UM, THIS IS BECKY AND COMMISSIONER WALTER'S NAME.
I WOULD'VE PUT YOU ON THERE QUICK IF I WOULD'VE KNOWN YOU WERE OUT THERE ON THIS.
WE, WE'VE GOT, UH, DEPUTY CONSTABLE SHANE HARRIS HERE.
NOT IN HIS OFFICIAL CAPACITY, BUT AS, UH, BRING US INFORMATION FROM THE BAD ENOUGH TO WEAR BLUE FOUNDATION AND WHAT THEY'RE ASKING TO, UH, PROVIDE FOR SOME COUNTY EMPLOYEES.
I'M THE PRESIDENT OF THE BAD ENOUGH TO WEAR BLUE FOUNDATION.
UH, MOST OF THE TIME WHEN YOU HEAR SOMETHING TO DO WITH BLUE, YOU, YOU INTERPRET IT TO INCORPORATE WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT.
WE ARE HERE TO, UH, PROVIDE SCREENINGS FOR, UH, MEN AND ADOLESCENT MALES OF PARKER COUNTY.
UH, WE, WE, UH, WE PARTNER WITH THE PARKER COUNTY HOSPITAL DISTRICT, AND IN SPEAKING WITH COMMISSIONER WALDEN, UH, I ASKED HIM IF IT WOULD BE ALLOWABLE TO COME UP HERE AND SPEAK TO Y'ALL AND, AND PROPOSE, UH, THAT WE AS A FOUNDATION COME OUT TO THE PRECINCT BARNS WHERE, UH, IT'S PREDOMINANTLY MALE, UH, AND COME OUT AND DO THESE PRE SCREENINGS.
IF YOU'LL LOOK ON THE BACK OF THIS PAMPHLET, UH, IT GIVES YOU WHAT WE WILL BE SCREENING FOR.
UH, ONE OF THE CONCERNS FROM COMMISSIONER WADING AND, UH, TREASURER, UH, BECKY MCCULLOUGH WAS IN THE PAST, THEY HAVE BEEN OTHER ORGANIZATIONS COME UP AND OFFER THESE SERVICES, AND THEY HAVE TRIED TO, TO MY UNDERSTANDING, BILL, UH, THE, THE COUNTY, THE INSURANCE, AND SUCH OF THAT NATURE.
OUR SERVICES WILL BE FREE OF CHARGE, UH, TO THE EMPLOYEE.
THERE WILL BE NO BILLING OR INVOICING TO THE EMPLOYER, NOR TO ANY INSURANCE COMPANY THAT THE COUNTY OR THE EMPLOYEE IS ASSOCIATED WITH.
SO THE, THE, THE TOTAL FUNDING WILL BE PAID FOR BY OUR FOUNDATION, WHICH, LIKE I SAID, IS A 5 0 1 C3.
UH, IT WAS BROUGHT ON TO THE FACT THAT THERE ARE SO MANY WOMEN, UH, ORGANIZATIONS OUT HERE PROMOTING WOMEN'S HEALTH, AND THERE IS NOTHING THAT WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO FIND THAT PROMOTES THE, THE MEN'S HEALTH.
WE'RE NOT OUT HERE TO THROW ROCKS AT WOMEN BECAUSE WE, WE LOVE WOMEN OF COURSE, BUT WE WANT TO DO SOMETHING TO, TO GIVE BACK TO THE COMMUNITY AND, UH, PROMOTE MEN AND ADOLESCENT MALE HEALTH IN PARKER COUNTY.
THE FUNDS THAT WE RAISE EACH YEAR, UH, THE, THE, THE MONEY DOES STAY IN PARKER COUNTY.
UH, IT DOES NOT GO TO ANY ENTITY OR OR PERSON OUTSIDE OF THE COUNTY.
UH, WE ARE IN OUR THIRD YEAR, WE HAVE A, A YEARLY GALA THAT WE PUT ON AT THE PARKER COUNTY SHERIFF'S POSSE, AND IT WILL BE APRIL THE 12TH THIS YEAR.
UH, THIS WILL BE OUR THIRD FULL YEAR, UH, TO HOST THAT.
AND, UH, WE'RE, WE'RE, WE'RE GAINING GROUND, UH, IN THE PREVIOUS YEARS, WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO TEST ANYWHERE FROM 50 TO 75 MEN ACCORDING TO THE, TO WHAT TREASURE MCCULLOUGH HAS STATED IS THAT THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY 300 MEN THAT WORK FOR THE COUNTY AND APPROXIMATELY 200 WOMEN, WE BELIEVE THAT WORK FOR THE, FOR THE COUNTY AS WELL.
UH, WE'RE NOT GONNA DISCRIMINATE AND, AND NOT TEST THE WOMEN AT EACH OF THESE ENTITIES HERE WITHIN THE COUNTY.
UH, IN SPEAKING WITH THE PARKER COUNTY HOSPITAL DISTRICT, THEY ARE GOING TO PICK UP THE TAB FOR THE WOMEN'S SCREENINGS.
SO THERE ARE NO COSTS, NO CHARGES TO THE COUNTY.
UH, IS THAT APRIL 12TH FUNDRAISER, IS THAT YOUR ONLY FUNDRAISER, OR, AT THIS TIME IT IS OUR ONLY FUNDRAISER.
WE DO TAKE, YOU KNOW, UH, DONATIONS FROM, FROM INDIVIDUALS IF THEY SO CHOSE, IF THEY CAN'T MAKE THE, THE GALA OR WHATEVER.
UH, BUT THAT IS, RIGHT NOW OUR ONLY FUNDRAISER, WE'VE BEEN VERY FORTUNATE.
I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT NUMBERS.
I DON'T HAVE THAT IN FRONT OF ME, BUT EACH YEAR WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO RAISE APPROXIMATELY A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS.
AND, AND WE'VE BEEN VERY WELL, UH, TAKEN ON FROM, FROM THOSE THAT HAVE COME OUT TO THE GALA AND, AND SUCH.
[01:20:01]
Y'ALL COMING OUT TO THE PRECINCTS.WE WOULD LIKE TO, TO TEST THE, AT THE PRECINCT BARNS AND GO AHEAD AND INVITE THE CONSTABLE'S OFFICES BECAUSE THEY ARE MOBILE, THEY CAN COME TO THE BARN AND GET TESTED AS WELL.
AND IF THIS IS INTO Y'ALL'S SUITING AND, AND AND SUCH, WE WOULD LIKE TO EXTEND IT ONTO THE BUILDINGS AND MAINTENANCE TO THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE AND TO THE OTHER OFFICES WITHIN THE COUNTY AS WELL.
WE KIND OF USE THIS AS A TESTING GROUND AND, AND MAKE SURE THAT THIS MEETS Y'ALL'S APPROVAL, UH, AND THAT, YOU KNOW, WE DO WHAT WE SAY WE WILL DO.
UM, THIS FOUNDATION WAS STARTED WITH THE SOLE PURPOSE OF, UH, GETTING MALES TO GO TO THE DOCTOR TO GET CHECKED, BECAUSE WHAT WE USUALLY DO IS WE SAY, WELL, THERE'S A FUNERAL FOR OLD BILL SATURDAY MORNING, WISH HE HAD GONE TO THE DOCTOR AND FOUND OUT THAT HE HAD AN ISSUE BEFORE HE HAD THAT FATAL HEART ATTACK, OR BEFORE HE HAD FOUND OUT THAT HE, HE HAD CANCER.
AND AS MALES, WE, UH, TEND TO PUT OFF THINGS LIKE THAT, AND WE WANT TO SAY, UH, YOU KNOW, I'M BETTER OFF NOT KNOWING WHAT I DO.
AND SO THIS IS AN EFFORT FROM THIS FOUNDATION TO, TO CHANGE THAT AND TO GET SOME OF THESE OLD BOYS OUT HERE THAT, THAT THINK THEY'RE TOO TOUGH TO GO TO THE DOCTOR TO FIND OUT WHAT'S WRONG WITH 'EM AND GET IT FIXED BEFOREHAND, LIKE MANY OF THE OTHER ORGANIZATIONS DO.
AND WE DO HAVE, UH, AND IN THE PAST, THE, UH, SHERIFF'S POLICY, I THINK HAS, HAS BEEN ONE OF THE CONTRIBUTORS TO THIS ORGANIZATION.
WE HAVE BAD ENOUGH TO WEAR BLUE NIGHT ON FRIDAY NIGHT, I BELIEVE.
AND, AND, AND SO WE TAKE A PORTION OF THE PROCEEDS THERE AND DONATE IT TO THIS CAUSE AS WELL.
SO I APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE, AND I, I THINK IT'S A GREAT EFFORT ON, ON YOUR PART TO, UH, ON THE PART OF THE FOUNDATION TO MAKE THESE SCREENINGS AVAILABLE TO SOMEBODY THAT MIGHT NOT OTHERWISE GO GET IT.
SHOULD THEY, ON TOP OF EXCUSE GO AHEAD.
ON TOP OF THE, YOU KNOW, THE SCREENINGS AND SUCH, WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO HELP A COUPLE OF FAMILIES WITHIN THE, THE COUNTY.
UH, AND, AND ONE, UH, FALLS BACK ON A, ON A CHILD THAT HAS DEVELOPED A VERY RARE, UH, FORM OF HLH, WHICH MAINLY TAKES PLACE IN, IN CHILDREN.
UH, AND THAT'S WHY WE, WE WENT IN A YEAR AGO AND CHANGED OUR BYLAWS TO INCLUDE ADOLESCENT MALES.
SO WE, WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO HELP THAT FAMILY FINANCIALLY.
AND IN, IN THE PAST YEAR, WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO HELP ANOTHER FAMILY FINANCIALLY, UH, WITH A, WITH A HUSBAND WHO, UH, FOUND OUT THAT HE HAD A LARGE CANCEROUS TUMOR IN HIS UPPER TORSO.
HE, HE WAS NOT ABLE TO WORK, HAD THREE YOUNG KIDS AND A, AND A WIFE.
AND SO WE WERE ABLE TO HELP THEM IN A, IN A FINANCIAL STANDPOINT AS WELL.
SO, BUT THANK Y'ALL AGAIN FOR ALLOWING ME ABSOLUTELY.
Y'ALL HAVE A TARGET DATE OR A RANGE OF WHEN WE MIGHT DO THIS? NO, SIR.
I SPOKE, SIR WITH THE, WITH THE, THE HEAD NURSE WITH THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT THIS MORNING.
AND, UH, I ASKED HER ABOUT A, A PARTICULAR TIME OF DAY.
OF COURSE, FASTING, YOU KNOW, IS ALWAYS A, UH, YOU GET BETTER RESULTS WITH FASTING.
SO USUALLY FIRST THING OF A MORNING, BUT WITH SOME OF Y'ALL'S STARTING WORK AT SIX 30 IN THE MORNING, IT MIGHT BE A LITTLE DIFFICULT GETTING THERE WHEN YOU START.
UH, AND ALSO THIS TIME OF YEAR, THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT IS GOING TO EACH SCHOOL AREAS AND, AND DOING SHOTS AND, AND IMMUNIZATIONS AND, AND TESTINGS THERE AS WELL.
SO THEY BASICALLY DO ALL OF THAT FIRST THING OF A MORNING.
AND SO IN SPEAKING WITH COMMISSIONER WALDEN, UH, WE KIND OF TALKED ABOUT MAYBE A FOUR O'CLOCK SCREENING OR WHATEVER WORKS BEST FOR EACH BARN.
IT, IT DOESN'T MATTER TO US, BUT AS FAR AS A PROJECTED DATE, UH, THE SOONER THE BETTER.
WE'D LOVE TO GET IN THERE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
BUT WE UNDERSTAND THAT THE COUNTY HAS A, A, A JOB TO DO AS WELL, AND WE DON'T WANT TO HINDER THOSE EFFECTS.
BUT JUST WHENEVER Y'ALL ARE AVAILABLE, WE WOULD BE WILLING TO, I KIND OF LIKE EATING, EATING.
I DON'T, I'M GONNA, I'M GONNA HAVE A HARD TIME WITH THAT FASTING.
WELL, AND, AND, AND IF YOU LOOK HERE ON THE, ON THE BACK OF THAT PAMPHLET THAT I HANDED YOU, THERE IS A SPOT HERE THAT THEY CHECK OFF WHETHER YOU HAD BEEN FASTING OR YOU HAD NOT.
AND WHEN WE TESTED, UH, AT ONE LOCATION, IT WAS LATE IN THE EVENING.
AND THAT WAS SOME OF THE PEOPLE'S CONCERNS.
WELL, WELL, I HAD A PRETTY BIG LUNCH.
WELL, THAT'S FINE BECAUSE THESE TESTS THAT WE'RE DOING, THEY WILL SHOW WHAT YOUR, WHAT'S IN YOUR SYSTEM AT THAT TIME.
AND, AND IF YOU HAVE HIGH LEVELS OF SOME THINGS, THEN MAYBE YOUR BODY'S NOT WORKING TO HELP BREAK DOWN THAT LARGE
[01:25:01]
LUNCH THAT YOU HAD.SO I DON'T KNOW IF IN TODAY'S TIME, IF FASTING IS NECESSARY, IS WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY, BUT I AM ONE OF THOSE THAT DON'T LIKE TO GO TO THE DOCTOR.
HE'S GONNA TELL ME TO QUIT EATING STUFF I'M EATING.
I DIDN'T, I DIDN'T WANNA BRING IT UP, GEORGE.
BUT THIS IS, THIS IS TARGETING YOU,
I DON'T MIND TELLING YOU AND, AND I CARE ABOUT YOU, BUT, BUT THAT'S WHAT WE'RE HERE TO HOPE.
CHANGE THAT STIGMA, THAT, AND MAYBE WITH US TESTING THE EACH BARN, YOU KNOW, MAYBE THAT'LL ENTICE THEM AND THEIR FAMILIES TO GO OUT AND GET THESE SCREENS.
UM, CAN WE GET ANY MORE OF THESE? GET SOME I HAVE ANY MORE WITH ME? WOULD YOU GIVE THAT TO CYNTHIA ALSO? WHAT? PARDON? UH, JUST CYNTHIA RIGHT THERE, CYNTHIA.
UM, AS I UNDERSTAND, NUMBER ONE, UM, THIS, THIS IS AN AWESOME PROGRAM AND THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
I MEAN, TO RAISE THAT KIND OF FUNDS FOR THIS.
AND AS COMMISSIONER WALDEN MADE A COMMENT, I MEAN, HE'S SO CORRECT WITH, UM, YOU KNOW, THE FOCUS ALWAYS TENDS TO BE ON WOMEN WITH THE PINK LUNCHEON AND THINGS THAT, AND, AND THE REASON I HAD CYNTHIA COME IN IS BECAUSE OF OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT TENDS TO ALWAYS FOCUS ON WOMEN AND, AND DO A LOT OF THINGS.
AND, UH, BUT TO DO THIS, AND, AND, AND I WANTED TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE AWARE OF THIS PROGRAM AND BECKY IS, IS IF YOU NEED A RESOURCE TO COORDINATE WITH, WITH CYNTHIA ON THE RELATIONSHIP WE HAVE WITH THEM IF, IF NEEDED.
UH, BUT THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND, AND FOR, FOR BRINGING THIS TO, TO THE ATTENTION OF, UM, THE CRITICAL NEED OF GETTING MEN TO GO TO THE DOCTOR.
HOW MANY OF THESE PAMPHLETS WOULD YOU LIKE FOR ME TO GET AND BRING TO YOU? I DON'T WANNA BE WASTEFUL, BUT I THINK THESE WOULD BE GOOD, GOOD INFORMATIONAL PAMPHLET TO KIND OF HELP GET THE GUYS ON BOARD YEAH.
SO THEY, THEY'RE NOT FINDING SOME REASON TO BE, NOT BE THERE THAT DAY.
WELL, AND I ALSO DON'T MIND COMING AND SPEAKING TO E AT, AT EACH BARN.
I DON'T MIND DOING THAT AT ALL.
I'VE GOT A PRETTY GOOD EMPLOYER, HE'S WILLING TO WORK WITH ME AND, AND, UH, AND SUCH.
SO IF I NEED TO COME OUT TO EACH BARN OR, OR WHEREVER, I DON'T MIND COMING OUT AND, AND SPEAKING, AND I CAN BRING ONE OF THE NURSES WITH ME.
UH, THIS IS JUST A PRICK OF THE FINGER.
IT, IT'S NOT A, A BIG LARGE NEEDLE THAT MR. CONLEY IS AFRAID OF, IS WHAT I'VE BEEN TOLD.
UH, IT, IT'S A VERY SIMPLIFIED TEST.
AND, AND IT TAKES ABOUT 15 MINUTES OR SO TO GET THE READINGS.
AND, AND SO THAT THE, THE GIRLS THERE CAN GIVE THE RESULTS TO EACH GUY AS WELL.
SO, BUT LIKE I SAID, IF I NEED TO COME OUT AND, AND SPEAK, UH, IN FRONT OF THE GUYS, YOU TELL ME WHAT TIME AND WHERE.
BRING YOUR A LITTLE SHORT NEEDLE AND COME ON,
BECKY, WOULD YOU LIKE TO SAY SOMETHING ON THIS? YEAH, I JUST WANNA, I JUST WANNA ADD TO FOR, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THOSE PEOPLE AT THE, AT THE PRECINCTS, THIS ISN'T MANDATORY.
THEY DO NOT HAVE TO PARTICIPATE.
SOME OF THEM MAY BE, HAVE ALREADY DONE THIS WITH THEIR PRIMARY CARE DOCTOR, AND THAT'S ABSOLUTELY FINE.
WE DON'T WANT ANYBODY TO THINK THEY HAVE TO DO THIS.
AND AGAIN, THIS IS KIND OF THE, ARE KIND OF THE GUINEA PIGS.
AND THEN HOPEFULLY WE CAN, YOU KNOW, EXTEND IT OUT EVEN FURTHER.
BUT WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR IS, YOU KNOW, FOR SOMEBODY TO GET SOME NEWS THAT, OKAY, NOW GO SEE YOUR PRIMARY CARE DOCTOR, BECAUSE THEN OF COURSE THEN INSURANCE WILL COME INTO PLAY.
BUT IF SOMEBODY CAN FIND OUT THAT MAYBE THEIR CONDITION CAN BE TREATED BY A CHOLESTEROL MEDICATION OR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE PILL OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, THAT'S A WHOLE LOT BETTER, BETTER FOR THEIR LIFE, FIRST AND FOREMOST FOR THEIR HEALTH.
AND THEN OBVIOUSLY AS WE START TO SEE THAT CLAIM SPEND, SO WE, YOU KNOW, I THINK THIS IS GREAT.
I'VE HAD OTHER PLACES DO APPROACH ME TO WANNA DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS.
AND THE SALE IS ALWAYS, IT'S FREE FOR YOUR EMPLOYEE, FOR THE EMPLOYEES.
AND I'M LIKE, WELL THEN HOW DO YOU GET PAID? AND THEY'RE LIKE, WE SOCK IT TO YOUR INSURANCE.
AND I'M LIKE, WELL, WE'RE SELF-FUNDED, SO THAT MEANS WE PAY OUR OWN CLAIM.
SO SOCKING IT TO OUR INSURANCE DOESN'T, THAT'S STILL, YOU KNOW, THAT'S STILL VERY EXPENSIVE FOR US.
BUT AGAIN, WE ENCOURAGE EMPLOYEES TO DO THIS.
THEY DO HAVE THEIR CHOICE WHETHER THEY DO IT OR NOT.
SOME MAYBE HAVE ALREADY DONE IT, BUT, UM, WELL, THEY GIVE 'EM A SECOND OPINION, YOU KNOW? ABSOLUTELY.
IF THEY'VE ALREADY DONE IT AND THEY WANNA DO IT AGAIN.
IT'S NO COST TO US THAT, THAT'S FANTASTIC.
I THINK WHAT WE'RE TARGETING THOUGH, ARE THOSE PEOPLE, I MEAN, THEY HAVE OTHER OPPORTUNITIES TO GO GET SCREENED.
I MEAN, WE'VE HAD HEALTH FAIRS, WE HAVE THINGS LIKE THAT.
THESE FOLKS DON'T GO BECAUSE THEY'RE WORKING AND, AND THEY WIND UP GOING TO WORK, GOING HOME, AND THEN ON THEIR, YOU KNOW, WEEKENDS OR TIME OFF THEY DO SOMETHING ELSE.
AND SO THIS IS TRYING TO TARGET SOMEBODY THAT OTHERWISE MIGHT NOT GET SCREENED.
I WAS ASKED A QUESTION OF WHAT DO WE TEST FOR? AND, AND LIKE I SAID, IT'S ON THE BACK OF THIS PAMPHLET THAT I HANDED TO EACH OF YOU.
[01:30:01]
UH, WE, WE TEST FOR TOTAL CHOLESTEROL, HDL TRIGLYCERIDES, LDL NON HDL, GLUCOSE, BLOOD PRESSURE.
AND THERE'S A NEW THING THAT, THAT THEY JUST STARTED, AND I DON'T TOTALLY UNDERSTAND IT, BUT THEY TEST THE STRENGTH OF EACH HAND.
YOU, YOU, THEY GIVE YOU A DEAL TO, TO SQUEEZE AND HOLD FOR A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME.
AND WHAT THAT TELLS 'EM, I HAVE NO IDEA, BUT THEY SAY THAT IT, IT IT'S PART OF THE TEST.
I CAN SQUEEZE THAT PART PRETTY GOOD WITH MY RIGHT HAND
JUST DON'T BREAK THE PLASTIC ONES.
BUT THANK Y'ALL AGAIN FOR, FOR ALLOWING ME TO SPEAK AND SORRY TO TAKE UP SO MUCH OF YOUR TIME.
WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN FOR THE SECOND BY COMMISSIONER HALL.
'CAUSE THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? MOTION PASSES.
[5.J. Discuss/Action Subdivision Regulation Committee. (Commissioner Walden)]
J ON DISCUSSION AND ACTION.TAKE ACTION ON SUBDIVISION REGULATION COMMITTEE COMMISSIONER WALDEN.
YEAH, I PUT THIS ON, UH, NOT, NOT THROWING ROCKS AT ANYBODY, BUT I GUESS I'VE BEEN ASKED NUMEROUS TIMES HOW THIS IS GONNA WORK AND HOW WE'RE GONNA BRING IT TO AN END.
UM, THE, UH, WASN'T ONE PERSON THAT ASKED ME, THERE'S NUMEROUS PEOPLE THAT SAID, WHEN ARE, WE'RE GONNA BRING THIS TO A CONCLUSION.
AND SO I JUST WANTED TO HAVE A DISCUSSION ABOUT IT.
NOT NOT THROWING ROCKS AT, AT COMMISSIONER HOL.
'CAUSE HE HAS DONE A, A FANTASTIC JOB OF, OF, UH, ORGANIZING AND, AND CONDUCTING THOSE MEETINGS.
AND, UH, SO I JUST WANTED TO HAVE AN OPEN DISCUSSION ABOUT IT MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE.
SO, UM, I'M ABSOLUTELY WILLING TO WORK WITH WHATEVER WE DECIDE HERE.
MY THOUGHT ON THE SRC WAS AFTER WE GET A FEW OF THESE LARGER ITEMS KNOCKED OUT, THE FREQUENCY OF THE MEETINGS PROBABLY GOES DOWN QUITE A BIT TO MAYBE QUARTERLY OR TWICE A YEAR OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
THE, UH, THE CONCERN THAT I HAVE WITH JUST ENDING IT ENTIRELY IS, YOU KNOW, WE GET SO BUSY WITH OTHER THINGS THAT, MY CONCERN IS THAT IF WE'RE NOT LOOKING AT IT SEMI-REGULARLY, THINGS WILL PASS US BY AND WE'LL GET BACK TO THE POSITION WE'RE IN NOW OR WE WERE IN BEFORE WHERE IT HAD BEEN QUITE A WHILE SINCE IT WAS UPDATED IN AN IDEAL WORLD.
WE HAVE A MEETING A COUPLE OF TIMES A YEAR AND WE'RE SO CAUGHT UP THAT THE MEETING'S ABOUT 15 MINUTES LONG AND WE'RE DONE.
SO THAT WAS MY PROJECTED VISION, I GUESS.
BUT THAT BEING SAID, YEAH, WE HAPPY TO HEAR FROM Y'ALL DOING NOTHING AND I DON'T THINK WE NEED TO STOP, BUT LIKE YOU'RE SAYING, ONCE OR TWICE A YEAR, I THINK WE NEED TO DO, I I UNDERSTAND.
I'VE JUST, UH, UH, I I WANTED TO HAVE CLARITY IN THIS, WHETHER WE'RE GOING TO HAVE 'EM EVERY MONTH, EVERY TWO MONTHS, OR YEAH.
WHETHER WE'RE GONNA END, HAVE AN END DATE OR WHAT THE SITUATION'S GONNA BE BECAUSE, UM, THERE'S SOME PEOPLE THAT ARE RATHER IRRITATED BY THE, THE, I GUESS THE NUMEROUS MEETINGS THAT HAVE BEEN HELD.
AND I, I RECOGNIZE THAT COMMISSIONER HOLT HAS DONE THAT WITH THE INTENT OF TRYING TO GET EVERYONE TO PARTICIPATE AND MAKE SURE THAT ANYTHING THAT COMES OUT OF THAT COMMITTEE HAS BEEN DISCUSSED PREVIOUSLY.
SO SOMEWHERE WE NEED TO FIND A A A A, A PLACE IN THERE WHERE WE CAN SAY, OKAY, WE'RE GONNA HAVE A COUPLE OF 'EM A YEAR OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT SO THAT WE CAN BRING IT TO A CONCLUSION.
AND THE THE TRUTH IS THAT, UH, ANY OF THESE ITEMS COULD BE, UH, AGENDA ITEMS AT COMMISSIONER'S COURT ANY TIME.
AND SO THAT THEY COULD BE BROUGHT HERE TO, TO FINALIZE.
AND, AND I KNOW THAT, UM, UM, SOME OF THE, SOME OF THE FOLKS ARE LIKE, UM, THINK THAT WE CAN HAVE A LOT MORE, UH, REACH INTO CERTAIN AREAS THAN WHAT WE CAN REALLY HAVE AND THEY DON'T WANT RULES.
AND SO I I I'M TELLING YOU THAT PEOPLE ARE COMING TO ME AND SAY, I DON'T WANT THE COUNTY MAKING A RULE FOR THIS AND A RULE FOR THAT.
AND, AND, UH, I, I THINK, UM, JOHN POR AND I HAVE HAD DISCUSSIONS REGARDING THE, THE RV PARK, UH, THING THAT, THE ITEM THAT CAME TO US AND WAS PASSED.
AND, UH, JOHN, WHERE ARE WE ON THAT PARTICULAR ITEM? JUST, UH, SPEAKING WITH HOOT COUNTY, THEIR ATTORNEY DOWN THERE, THEY, THEY HAD ADOPTED SOME SCREENING, UH, REQUIREMENTS THAT WERE PROBABLY OUTSIDE OF THE SCOPE OF WHAT MIGHT BE ALLOWABLE.
UH, THEY GOT SUED BY NEIGHBORS TO ENFORCE THOSE RULES AND HE HAD TO DEFEND THE FACT THAT THEY COULDN'T ENFORCE THEM.
SO WHAT RULES WOULD THAT BE? UM, A SCREENING.
I THINK WE HAVE A THREE OH, THE SCREENING PART ALL THE WAY AROUND.
I'M, I'M TRYING TO GET THAT PAPERWORK BACK FROM THEM TO SEE
[01:35:01]
WHAT IT WAS THAT, UH, THAT COURT RULED ON.BUT THAT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT HE HAD TO DEFEND AGAINST ENFORCING, EVEN THOUGH THE NEIGHBORS WERE TRYING TO HAVE THEM ENFORCE 'EM BECAUSE THEY WERE IN THE RULES.
SO WE, WE PROBABLY NEED TO LOOK AT SOME OF THOSE THINGS THAT, THAT MIGHT BE OVER EXCESSIVE AS TO WHAT THE STATUTE ALLOWS US TO DO AND MAYBE ADDRESS THOSE.
BUT THAT WAS ONE OF THE ONES I WAS GONNA LOOK AT BECAUSE SPECIFICALLY THAT'S COME UP IN HOOD COUNTY AND IT, IT DIDN'T HOLD WATER.
SO I'M, I'M, I'M IN NO WAY THROWING A ROCKET AT COMMISSIONER HOLT BECAUSE I THINK HE'S DONE A GREAT JOB OF, OF ORGANIZING BRINGING PEOPLE THERE.
UH, THEY, UH, UH, I GUESS WHAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IS IF WE, WHEN WE'RE GONNA BE ABLE TO CUT IT DOWN TO A COUPLE OF MEETINGS A YEAR, RATHER THAN HAVING REGULAR MEETINGS THAT, THAT THEY FEEL LIKE THEY HAVE TO COME TO OR THE, THE COMMITTEE IS ONLY GOING TO HEAR FROM ONE SIDE IN SOME OF THESE.
SO THAT'S THE KIND OF THINGS THAT I WAS, AND, AND I NOTICED THAT I GOT A, AN AGENDA FOR THE NEXT MEETING AND, AND MARCH, MARCH THE 12TH THERE SOME IMPORTANT THINGS.
UH, LAST MEETING, JAMIE WASN'T, JAMIE TIERS WASN'T ABLE TO BE THERE AND I THINK ONE OF THE OTHER MEMBERS WAS MISSING.
SO THEY NEEDED TO, GOT SOME THINGS TO FINISH UP ON.
BUT I'D LIKE TO KNOW IF, IF WE WOULD BE ABLE TO, WHEN WE WOULD BE ABLE TO GO TO SEMI-ANNUAL MEETINGS.
I THINK THAT, UH, THAT I, I'M NOT QUITE SURE HOW QUICKLY THAT'LL BE.
I'D, I'D HATE TO COMMIT TO SOMETHING AND THEN HAVE THAT NOT BE FEASIBLE FOR ONE REASON OR ANOTHER.
BUT I CERTAINLY WANT TO TRY TO GET TO NO MORE FREQUENT THAN QUARTERLY SOON.
AND WHEN I SAY SOON, I MEAN THIS YEAR, SO WE DID HAVE A MEETING RECENTLY.
WE HAVE ANOTHER ONE COMING UP AS YOU AS YOU MENTIONED.
SO THAT'S WHY THOSE ARE CLOSER TOGETHER THAN NORMAL.
SO I THINK WE'LL BE A QUARTERLY HERE PRETTY QUICK.
I WOULD RECOMMEND THEM TAKE NO ACTION ON THIS.
AND THEN AT YOUR NEXT MEETING, HAVE THAT AS A DISCUSSION OR AN AGENDA ITEM SETTING WHAT I GUESS YOUR VISION IS JUST TO WHAT SOME OF THESE THINGS, WHAT SOME OF THE KEY OBJECTIVES COORDINATING WITH, UM, UM, OUR COUNSELOR HERE ON, JUST TO CLARIFY, ARE WE GOING DOWN A PATH THAT MAY COME BACK TO US THAT WE DON'T HAVE ANY AUTHORITY? JUST TO BE SURE TO DOT THAT I, UH, BUT, BUT SET THAT VISION AND OR SET THAT, THAT GOAL OF THE NEXT MEETING AND START HA AND HAVE THAT DISCUSSION.
I, I CERTAINLY DON'T WANT TO HAVE MEETINGS TO, FOR THE SAKE OF HAVING MEETINGS AND DRIVING FROM THE BARN TO HERE IS, UH, SURE.
IT'S, IT'S NOT A MAJOR INCONVENIENCE, BUT IT'S, WELL, AFTER ABOUT A YEAR, YOU OUGHT TO BE ABLE TO CUT IT DOWN TO TWO AT THE MOST.
YEAH, WE SHOULD, WE SHOULD BE THERE PRETTY QUICK.
I THINK WE'RE, I DON'T THINK WE NEED TO DO AWAY WITH IT ALL TOGETHER.
JUST KEEP THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE THAT'S MOVING IN HERE.
I, I WOULD AGREE WITH THAT SENTIMENT AS WELL.
I, I, I THINK THE FACT THAT WE CAN BRING, IF THERE'S A PRESSING ISSUE, YOU KNOW, TO A COURT INDIVIDUALLY AS COMMISSIONERS, YOU KNOW, THAT'S THE, THAT'S THE THING WITH ME.
UH, 'CAUSE WE'RE GROWING SO FAST AND WE'RE GETTING CURVE BALLS.
UM, BUT I THINK, YOU KNOW, IF WE COULD GET IT DOWN THERE ON THE, ON THE COMMISSIONER MEETING OR ON THE, ON THOSE, UH, SUBDIVISION MEETINGS, IT'D PROBABLY HELP AS WELL.
'CAUSE I GET A LOT OF PHONE CALLS WANTING EXPLANATIONS.
AND BECAUSE OF A QUORUM, I'M NOT NORMALLY SITTING IN THERE BEING ACTIVELY INVOLVED.
'CAUSE YOU KNOW, YOU GUYS ARE, ARE THERE, SO ONE THING THAT WE HAVE, I JUST WANTED TO MENTION THAT.
YEAH, I MEAN, I DIDN'T MEAN TO CUT YOU OFF, BUT ONE THING THAT WE CAN ADJUST THEN IS WHAT WE'VE DONE IS WE'VE, WE'VE TRIED TO ADOPT THE RULE OF, WE'LL DISCUSS IT IN ONE MEETING, BUT THEN US AS THAT SUBDIVISION REGULATION COMMITTEE, WE WON'T ACTUALLY VOTE ON IT, ON WHETHER OR NOT TO BRING IT HERE UNTIL THE NEXT MEETING.
THE IDEA BEING THAT GIVES US SOME TIME TO DIGEST, ET CETERA.
IF WE DO AWAY WITH THAT PROCEDURE, WHICH, YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT BOUND BY ROBERT'S RULES OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT SINCE WE'RE CONSULTING.
ONLY IF WE DO AWAY WITH THAT, THAT WOULD PROBABLY HAVE THE NUMBER OF MEETINGS, UM, WHERE WE'RE DISCUSSING AND DECIDING IN THE SAME DAY.
SO THAT WOULD, I THINK, GO A LONG WAY TOWARDS WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE.
SO I'LL BRING THAT UP AT THE NEXT ONE FOR SURE.
COMMISSIONER, YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE ON THIS? YOU TO TALK ABOUT IT? COMMISSIONER, YOU HAVE ANYTHING YOU'D LIKE THAT? OKAY, I WOULDN'T, NO.
[5.K. Deny payment to AT&T for claim #SWBT-06-202401-12-0078 3750 Kelly Rd in the amount of $2,730.75 in Precinct Four. (Commissioner Hale)]

I MAKE A MOTION TO DENY THE PAYMENT, UH, IMPROPER PLACEMENT OF THE UTILITY THERE.MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER HALE WITH I SECOND BY COMMISSIONER CONLEY.
USE ANY OF THE DISCUSSION OF THIS ITEM.
[5.L. Discuss/Take action on FuelMaster program, correcting errors and basic housekeeping of vehicle/equipment electronic files. (Mark Long / Judge Deen)]
ITEM L, DISCUSS, TAKE ACTION ON FUEL MASTER PROGRAM CORRECTION ERRORS AND BASIC HOUSEKEEPING OF VEHICLE EQUIPMENT.ELECTRONIC FALLS, MARK, EVERYBODY'S GOT A FUEL FOB THEY GET FUEL WITH.
WE'VE HAD SOME NOT MANY MISCUES, THE PUMP'S NOT DOING MEASURING CORRECTLY.
WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT, BUT SYLVIA IS THE ONE THAT DOES IT ALL.
SO I'M GONNA LET HER TAKE IT OVER.
UM, I'M JUST LETTING YOU ALL KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON RIGHT NOW.
THE VEHICLE RECORDS ARE ALL MISHMASHED.
WE HAVE SOME THAT ARE NUMBERS, SOME THAT ARE VIN NUMBERS, SOME THAT ARE UNIT NUMBERS.
SO WE ARE PROPOSING EITHER GOING WITH THE VIN NUMBER OR AN ASSET NUMBER FOR EVERY PIECE OF EQUIPMENT THAT USES FUEL.
WHAT HAPPENS IS PIECES OF EQUIPMENT GET SOLD OFF OR SENT TO SURPLUS AND WE'RE NOT MADE AWARE.
SO THESE VEHICLE RECORDS ARE STILL ACTIVE AND WHAT HAPPENS IS PEOPLE ARE USING THE KEY FOBS FROM A PREVIOUS VEHICLE OR A PREVIOUS PIECE OF EQUIPMENT AND THAT'S GETTING CHARGED TO, IT COULD BE A WRONG VEHICLE OR WRONG DEPARTMENT.
YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES THEY'RE TRANSFERRED, SOMETIMES THEY'RE NOT.
SO WHAT I'M TRYING TO DO IS GET EVERYTHING ORGANIZED UNDER ONE METHOD.
THAT WAY WE DON'T HAVE AN ISSUE AND EVERYBODY KNOWS WHAT IS BEING CHARGED TO THEIR ACCOUNT.
SO HOW DO YOU PROPOSE THIS NEW DEAL? WHAT, WHAT IS IT? UH, I PROPOSE WE EITHER GO TO A VIN NUMBER OR THE ASSET TAG AND BEING THAT WE'RE SO CLOSE TO INVENTORY TIME, ASSET TAG MAY BE THE EASIEST WAY TO GO.
I CAN GET A LIST AFTER INVENTORY AND I CAN FIX ALL THE RECORDS.
SO WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THESE ARE AUCTIONED OR, OR SOLD OFF? WHAT'S THE WHAT, WHAT CHANGES? IF YOU'RE USING THE ASSET TAG, I CAN UH, INACTIVATE THE TAG WHEN I GET A LIST SHOWING WHAT IS CURRENTLY UNDER EACH DEPARTMENT.
CAN THAT BE DONE BY THAT TAG, KIM? SURE.
WE, WE CAN PROVIDE A LIST OF ALL THE, THE VEHICLES AND THEIR ASSET NUMBERS, UM, FROM EACH DEPARTMENT AND THERE'S, THERE'S A FIELD FOR THE DEPARTMENT NUMBER AND THEN A FIELD FOR THE F NUMBER ID NUMBER, WHICH WOULD BE THE ASSET TAG.
AND SHE COULD SORT THESE IN HER LIST FOR YOU ALL TO KNOW HOW, WHAT YOUR FUEL USAGE IS BY THE DEPARTMENT NUMBER.
BUT WE WOULD DEFINITELY NEED TO BE SURE THAT WE FAULT THOSE VEHICLES THAT HAVE BEEN SURPLUS ARE TRANSFERRED FROM DEPARTMENT TO DEPARTMENT.
THAT THOSE THINGS GET TO HER FOR THOSE KEY BUMPS.
IS THIS A PROCEDURAL OR POLICY CHANGE? IT'S ALL POLICY CHANGE.
UH, BRIANNA WAS MADE AWARE OF AN ISSUE EARLIER THIS MONTH REGARDING A VEHICLE THAT WAS BEING CHARGED TO THE WRONG DEPARTMENT.
AND WHAT HAPPENED IS SOMEBODY KEPT THE KEY FOB FROM A PREVIOUS VEHICLE AND WAS BEING, IT WAS STILL BEING CHARGED TO.
SO THEY'RE INTENTIONAL OR NOT INTENTIONAL WE'RE BEING HIT.
AND SO ONE RECOMMENDATION MAYBE ONCE ALL OF THIS GETS CLEANED UP AND WE'VE KIND OF TALKED ABOUT IT, IS JUST HAVING A SPREADSHEET THAT, YOU KNOW, HAS EVERYTHING ON THERE OF WHICH VEHICLES AND PEOPLE.
AND SO WHEN THE FUEL REPORT IS SENT MONTHLY, THEN THE DEPARTMENT CAN ALSO LOOK AT THAT AND YOU KNOW, IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT GETS MISSED THAT SOMETHING WENT TO SURPLUS OR SOMETHING WAS TRANSFERRED AND BUILDING AND GROUNDS WEREN'T AWARE OF IT, OR ALSO, YOU KNOW, TERMINATIONS AND INTERNAL TRANSFERS OF A PERSONNEL, THEN, YOU KNOW, THE DEPARTMENT CAN LOOK AT IT.
AND JUST TO KIND OF, I'LL KEEP IT BRIEF, BUT JUST TO GIVE YOU A SUMMARY.
SO WHEN THE PRECINCTS PURCHASE FUEL, IT HITS YOUR FUEL EXPENSE LINE.
AND SO IF THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT OR ANY OTHER DEPARTMENT THAT HAS A VEHICLE COMES AND FILLS UP THERE WHEN THE FUEL ALLOCATION IS POSTED BY THE AUDITOR'S OFFICE, YOU ALL ARE REIMBURSED.
UM, SO WHAT HAPPENED, AND I KNOW WE'VE HAD, YOU KNOW, A FEW DIFFERENT THINGS WHERE BECAUSE OF THE KEY FOBS OR PEOPLE, THEN DEPARTMENTS ARE GETTING CHARGED INCORRECTLY.
SO IT'S IMPACTING THEIR BUDGETS.
UM, AND THEN ALSO, YOU KNOW, GOING INTO THE NEXT YEAR WHEN THEY'RE LOOKING AT, YOU KNOW, WHAT THEY'RE, WHEN THEY'RE
[01:45:01]
TRYING TO BUDGET AND PROJECT OUT.WELL IF YOU DON'T HAVE, YOU KNOW, GOOD COSTS IN THERE, IT'S NOT VERY, VERY ACCURATE AND THEY HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING IT.
AND SO THIS WAS, UM, WHICH WAS GOOD, YOU KNOW, I GAVE THEM PROPS THAT THEY WERE LOOKING AT THEIR BUDGET AND THEY THOUGHT, YOU KNOW, IT, IT SEEMS A LITTLE HIGH WHAT THEIR FUEL WAS.
AND THEN GOING INTO THE REPORTS AND YOU KNOW, WE FIGURED OUT WHAT THE ISSUE IS AND WE'LL CORRECT IT.
BUT THEN IT BROUGHT UP, YOU KNOW, I REACHED OUT TO BUILDING AND GROUNDS AND YOU KNOW, WE HAD THE DISCUSSION, IF THERE'S THIS ONE, HOW MANY MORE ARE THERE? AND JUST MAKING SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, COSTS ARE BEING ALLOCATED APPROPRIATELY.
WHAT'S THE, SO TO, TO CORRECT THIS IN A WAY THAT, UM, YOU'RE IN AGREEMENT ON WHAT IS, WHAT IS AGAIN THE DIRECTION WE NEED TO, I DON'T KNOW THAT WE NEED ANY COURT ACTION.
DO WE? WE DON'T THINK THAT'S WHAT I'M THINKING.
I DON'T THINK WE NEED, PROCEDURALLY I'LL HAVE SABRINA, WHEN SHE GETS TRANSFERS THAT THE INVENTORY CHANGE RECORDS, WE WILL NOTIFY, UM, SYLVIA, HEY, THIS ONE'S GOING TO SURPLUS THAT, THAT VIN NUMBER OR THAT ASSET NUMBER YOU NEED TO PULL FROM YOUR LIST.
THERE SHOULD BE NO MORE CHARGES FOR THAT.
SO Y'ALL GOT A HANDLE ON THIS.
SO REALLY IT IS COMMISSIONER WALLACE THROUGH, IT'S JUST A NOTIFICATION.
IT'S JUST A NOTIFICATION AND, AND I, I'M GRATEFUL FOR THAT BECAUSE THAT JUST, AGAIN, ONE OF THESE AREAS WE CAN SAVE MONEY THAT'S IT'S BEING CORRECTLY APPROPRIATED IN OUR BUDGET.
JUST WANT, IF YOU WANNA HAVE ONE WAY TO DO IT SURE.
EVERYBODY KNOWS YOU GOT YEAH, THAT'S GREAT.
SO I HAVE A QUESTION ON THESE.
ON THE FUEL FOBS, IF, IF WE DO HAVE OLD ONES OR THAT COULD HAVE BEEN ON REPLACEMENT VEHICLES SO WE DON'T HAVE THE CORRECT VIN NUMBER WITH THE ASSET TAG ON YOUR SIDE, DO Y'ALL HAVE THE EQUIPMENT WHERE IF WE HAVE A HANDFUL OF THESE FOBS AND WE WANT TO VERIFY YES.
THAT THEY ARE WITH THIS ASSET NUMBER THAT IS CORRECT.
Y'ALL, WE CAN COME THERE AND PLUG THEM IN OR HOW'S THAT WORK? RIGHT NOW WE DON'T HAVE IT BY BY ASSET TAG.
LIKE I SAID, SOME PEOPLE HAVE 'EM UNDER UNIT NUMBERS.
ANYTHING THAT WAS COMING IN WHEN I TOOK OVER IN JUNE OF 21, I'VE BEEN DOING WITH THE LAST FIVE OF THE VIN MM-HMM.
SOUNDS LIKE YOU GOTTA HANDLE ON IT.
SO, SO IF I WANNA MAKE SURE EVERY FOB FUEL FOB IS CORRECT IN MY PRECINCT, JUST BRING 'EM ALL, BRING 'EM ALL AND WE CAN GO THROUGH IT AND MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS RIGHT.
SO CAN THE, THE FOBS BE CHANGED TO A DIFFERENT ASSET NUMBER? SO IF WE SELL A VEHICLE YEAH.
AND THAT, THAT FOB CAN STILL BE USED ON VEHICLE? YES.
I CAN REPROGRAM TO RE-IDENTIFY.
THE OTHER PIECE OF IT, WHICH I KIND OF SPOKE ON IS ALSO, YOU KNOW, WHEN INDIVIDUALS HAVE TRANSFERRED FROM ONE DEPARTMENT TO THE OTHER.
THAT'S SOMETHING ELSE BECAUSE SOMETIMES YOU HAVE THIS INDIVIDUALS AND THIS DEPARTMENT AND THEN THE VEHICLES AND ANOTHER ONE WHERE, YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT MATCHING ANY ASSET NUMBER.
SO BOTH OF THEM HAS, THEY HAVE THE SERIAL NUMBER OF OUR ID NUMBER WITH THAT? CORRECT.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO KEEP YOUR OTHER NUMBER.
THERE IS A FIELD WHERE I CAN PUT THAT IN.
SAY YOU WANNA KEEP IT AS UNIT 4 0 1.
THERE IS SOMETHING CALLED A UNIQUE NUMBER AND I CAN STILL PULL IT UP BY THAT.
THE ONLY PROBLEM IS LIKE 4 0 1, YOU COULD HAVE A 4 0 1 AND YOU CAN HAVE A 4 0 1.
AND WHEN I TRY IT, IT'S JUST, YEAH.
SO THE LAST FIVE OR SIX OF THE VIN HAS BEEN WORKING FOR YOU? YEAH.
BUT NOT ON EQUIPMENT BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE VINS.
YEAH, WE WERE, THAT'S THAT'S WHY WE USED THE LAST FIVE OF THE SERIAL NUMBER, THE SERIAL NUMBER OR SOMETHING.
BECAUSE, BUT, BUT THE REASON WE USED UNIT NUMBERS, THAT'S 'CAUSE WE, THAT'S WHAT WE KEEP UP WITH.
WE NEED TO HAVE THE SHE CAME IN, WE WERE DONE IT BY HAND OF THE RANSOMWARE.
AND YOU CAN DISABLE THOSE FS AS WELL.
SO PROBABLY IF IF THERE'S SOMEBODY THAT HAD ONE THAT LEFT, THAT MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA.
SINCE THEY'RE ONLY $8, DISABLE THAT FOB.
SO WE DON'T HAVE A RISK OF ANYBODY TRYING TO UTILIZE THE FUEL.
WE STILL HAD A LOT OF PEOPLE THINKING THAT THE KEY FOB WAS PER PERSON THEIRS, BUT IT'S NOT.
IT'S PER PIECE OF EQUIPMENT OR VEHICLE.
DOES THIS MEAN I CAN'T USE THOSE PRECINCT ONE FOBS ANYMORE?
WHATEVER YOU CAN GET AWAY WITH, YOU CAN USE.
THIS IS JUST A PROCEDURAL DEAL.
MAKE EVERYBODY AWARE OF WHAT WE WANNA DO.
IF APPRECIATE THE INFORMATION.
SO YOU GUYS ARE OKAY WITH US USING ASSET NUMBERS? OH YEAH.
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING NOW? YOU'RE THE DEAL.
