May 13, 2024 Commissioners Court

WE'RE GONNA MOVE DOWN TO ITEM SIX A DISCUSS TAKE ACTION ON THE OPTION FOR THE 2024 BRAZEN BASH EVENT AND TAKE ANY ACTION ON THE COURT DEEMS NECESSARY.

SECOND BY COMMISSIONER HALE.

ANY DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR PASS FIVE OH.

[6.A. Discuss/Take action on the option for the 2024 Brazos Bash Event and take any action the court deems necessary. (Angie Highland / John Forrest / Judge Deen) ]

WE DO HAVE ANGIE HOLLAND HERE.

UH, AND JOHN, YOU'RE GONNA SPEAK TO THIS AS WELL.

UM, MY NAME IS ANGIE HIGHLAND.

I'M WITH HIGHLAND MARKET RESEARCH.

PLEASURE TO SEE Y'ALL AGAIN THIS YEAR.

UM, AS Y'ALL KNOW, LAST YEAR YOU APPROVED, UM, AN APPLICATION FOR THE EVENT TRUST FUND PROGRAM FOR THE BRAZOS BASH.

UM, MR. TAYLOR SHERIDAN'S EVENT HELD OUT AT BOSKY RANCH.

UM, THE PROCESS IS MOVING WELL.

WE'VE NOT HAD ANY ISSUES WITH THE PROCESS.

THE FUNDING FOR THE 2023 EVENT IS CURRENTLY UNDER REVIEW AT THE STATE OF TEXAS.

UM, APPLICATIONS FOR UPCOMING EVENTS ARE DUE 120 DAYS PRIOR TO THE FIRST DAY OF THE EVENT.

SO IT IS NOW TIME, UM, ONCE AGAIN TO APPLY FOR FUNDING FOR THE 2024, UM, EVENT.

AND WORKING WITH MR. SHERIDAN AND HIS TEAM, THE EVENT IS GOING TO BE A GREAT EVENT AGAIN FOR PARKER COUNTY.

AND SO WE'RE HERE TODAY TO SEEK, UM, APPROVAL TO MOVE FORWARD WITH AN APPLICATION FOR THE 2024 EVENT.

WHAT ELSE DO YOU NEED FROM US? THAT'S ALL, SIR.

JOHN, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING YOU WANNA ADD? AND IT'S A CONTINUATION, OR ACTUALLY NOT A CONTINUATION, BUT IT'S, UH, BUILDING ON WHAT THEY BEGAN LAST YEAR.

UH, WE'RE JUST A PASS THROUGH AS FAR AS, UH, THE FUNDING THE STATE.

SO, OKAY.

WE HAVE A BOOK.

BRIANNA HAD ACTUALLY SOMETHING TO SAY AS WELL.

THIS ONE I'M GUESSING PROBABLY HAS A LOCAL MATCH.

SO THAT WOULD BE PART OF IT.

AND SO WE HAD APPROVED IT, UM, EARLIER THIS YEAR WAS TO HAVE THAT MATCH.

AND THEN ONCE THE FUNDING IS APPROVED, THEN WE'LL GET THAT BACK.

BUT WE DO HAVE TO, UM, PUT THAT MATCH UP.

SO THAT WOULD BE PART OF THE APPLICATION.

IF IT'S COME, IT WOULD COME BACK FOR APPROVAL.

AND THEN AT THAT TIME WE'D HAVE TO APPROVE THAT MATCH AND THEN, UM, BUDGET IT.

AND THE CITY OF WEATHERFORD, THEY, THEY COVERED THAT MATCH.

THEY DID NOT, NO, WE, THE MATCH PORTION MUST COME FROM THE APPLICANT, BUT IT IS A PASS THROUGH.

UM, AND SO IT'LL BE, IT'LL COME BACK WHEN THE FUNDS ARE RETURNED.

SO WE HAD TO HAVE A SPECIAL BUDGET ADJUSTMENT TO BE ABLE TO THEN, UM, DISPERSE, SEND THAT AT THAT TIME.

AND SO, UM, HOPEFULLY WE WOULD KNOW SOMETHING, YOU KNOW, PRIOR TO THE BUDGET BEING ADOPTED SO THAT WAY WE COULD BUDGET THAT MATCH.

AND JUST, JUST ONE QUESTION.

WAS THERE ANY COST TO THE COUNTY ON THIS LAST YEAR'S BUDGET? UM, WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED THAT REIMBURSEMENT, SO AS LONG AS WE RECEIVED THE REIMBURSEMENT, UM, FROM THE EVENT, THEN, THEN WE WILL GET THAT BACK.

FOR LAST YEAR? IT'S A VERY SIMILAR MM-HMM.

WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN.

WE HAVE A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER HA.

UM, DISCUSSION.

WHAT WAS THE AMOUNT OF THE REQUEST FROM THE EVENT FUND

[00:05:01]

, UM, FOR BOTH YEARS.

UH, 'CAUSE THE EVENT KIND OF HAS PERFORMED THE SAME FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS.

SO FOR THIS YEAR, WE'D BE SEEKING TOTAL TRUST FUND, THE REQUEST OF 105,000.

UM, THE LOCAL SHARE WOULD BE THE 14,000.

UH, THAT'S OBVIOUSLY OUR REQUEST, THE STATE OF TEXAS.

AND SOMETIMES THEY ADJUST THAT AMOUNT.

IT WOULD NOT BE HIGHER, BUT IT COULD POTENTIALLY BE LOWER.

UM, AND ONCE THE APPLICATION IS SUBMITTED, THE STATE HAS TO RESPOND WITHIN 30 DAYS.

SO IF THE APPLICATION IS SUBMITTED, UM, HERE IN THE NEXT WEEK, Y'ALL WOULD KNOW WITHIN THE MIDDLE OF JUNE IF IT HAD BEEN APPROVED AND FOR THE FUNDING AMOUNTS.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? MOTION PASSES BY.

OKAY, WE'RE GONNA MOVE OUT, DOWN TO ITEM SIX F ON DISCUSSION.

[6.F. Discuss/Take action to purchase Knowink poll pads. (Crickett Miller / Judge Deen) (Part 1 of 2) ]

TAKE ACTION ON PURCHASE TIC POLE PADS.

UH, CRICKET, IF YOU WOULD GO OVER THE DISCUSSION THAT WE'VE HAD, WHAT WE, UH, ADDRESSED LAST TIME THAT WE WERE GONNA DO THIS TIME AND TRY TO GET THEM HERE.

AND IF YOU WOULD GO OVER THAT.

GOOD MORNING.

THANK Y'ALL FOR HAVING ME BACK.

UM, I EMAILED EACH OF YOU ON TUESDAY OF LAST WEEK, A LETTER FROM NO INC.

THEY ARE NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO CALM DOWN AND TALK TO YOU PERSONALLY, BUT THEY DID SEND A LETTER.

IN THE LETTER IT TALKS ABOUT THAT THEY ARE CONTINUING SUPPORT.

UM, WHAT WE HAVE IS AN APPLICATION FROM NO INC.

AND THAT IS JUST AN APP THAT'S ON OUR POLE PAD ON OUR IPADS.

AND THEY ARE CONTINUING TO SUPPORT THAT.

WE JUST CAN'T HAVE ANY ENHANCEMENTS OR FEATURE UPGRADES OR SECURITY PATCHES BECAUSE WE'RE AT THE TOP OF OUR IOS UPDATE.

SO THAT'S, THAT'S OUR MAIN ISSUE WITH THEM.

UM, AS, AS WE TALKED ABOUT, THEY STOPPED, APPLE STOPPED THE SUPPORT FOR THIS FIFTH GENERATION, WHICH IS WHAT WE HAVE.

UM, NO INK.

I MEAN, UM, APPLE CANNOT DISCLOSE AND WILL NOT DISCLOSE WHEN THEY'RE GONNA DO END OF LIFE OF ANYTHING UNTIL THEY ARE READY TO PUT OUT A NEW OPTION.

AND, UM, SO ON SEPTEMBER THE 18TH OF 2023, THEY LET IT OUT THAT THEY WERE NOT SUPPORTING THE FIFTH GENERATION ANYMORE.

WE WERE NOTIFIED IN OCTOBER BY NO INK OF THIS.

AND THEN AGAIN IN FEBRUARY, WE ARE AT A 16.7 0.4 WITH OUR IPADS RIGHT NOW.

ALSO, UH, APPLE IS SAYING THAT WE NEED TO UPDATE EVERYTHING EVERY FOUR YEARS.

UM, NO INK ALSO SENT US SOME OPTIONS THAT WE HAVE.

WE CAN EITHER PURCHASE OR WE CAN LEASE.

UM, I DID A LITTLE THING THERE, BREAKDOWN.

IF WE PURCHASED, IT'S GONNA COST $151,815 IN THREE YEARS.

THAT'S A $50,605 A YEAR.

UM, IF WE LEASE IT, IT WOULD BE 158,951 FOR THREE YEARS, WHICH WOULD BE $52,000.

THE THE PROS FOR LEASING IS THAT YOU GET TH A NEW IPAD EVERY THREE YEARS.

UM, SO WE WOULDN'T HAVE THE ISSUES WITH THE SECURITY OR THE UPDATING NOT BEING ABLE TO BE DONE.

THE ONLY THING IS, IF WE PURCHASE IN THREE YEARS, WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO PURCHASE NEW IPADS.

UM, WE CAN DO TWO DIFFERENT OPTIONS.

YOU CAN EITHER GO AHEAD AND PURCHASE NOW AND WE CAN HAVE ALL THE IPADS.

IT TAKES SIX WEEKS FOR THEM TO COME IN FROM THE DATE THAT THE JUDGE SIGNS A QUOTE.

THEN IT'LL TAKE ONE TO TWO WEEKS FOR PURCHASING AND US TO GET THEM READY TO DEPLOY.

SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT JULY THE 19TH.

UM, IF WE PUT IT IN THE NEW BUDGET IN THE NEXT BUDGET YEAR, UM, SAME THING.

IT TAKES SIX WEEKS.

ONCE A JUDGE SIGNS THE FIRST COURT IN OCTOBER IS OCTOBER THE 14TH, THEN IT TAKES ONE TO TWO WEEKS FOR PURCHASING AND US.

SO WE'RE DEPLOYING IN DECEMBER THE 20TH, WHICH MEANS THEY WOULD BE AVAILABLE FOR THE MAY, 2025 ELECTION.

UH, WE DID TALK A LITTLE BIT, AND I DID, UH, MR. HALE HAD ASKED US TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT HOW MANY WE HAD.

WE'VE BEEN ASKING FOR 115.

THAT'S WHAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE.

BUT WE ARE GONNA CUT THAT DOWN TO 105.

UM, WE HAD SOLD SOME, WHEN I FIRST CAME HERE, WE HAD 160.

UM, I THOUGHT THAT WAS A WASTE BECAUSE WE WEREN'T USING THEM EVERY TIME.

SO WE DID SELL 45 OF THEM.

AND AS YOU CAN SEE, WE DID NOT MAKE VERY MUCH MONEY ON 'EM, BUT WE DID MAKE A LITTLE BIT OF MONEY.

UM, THIS IS A COURT'S DECISION.

I KNOW IT'S A BIG DECISION.

I HATE COMING TO COURT TO ASK FOR THIS IN THE MIDDLE OF A YEAR.

UM, BUT IT WAS AN ISSUE THAT HAS

[00:10:01]

COME UP.

UM, IT IS UP TO COURT TO EITHER DO IT NOW OR WE WAIT.

UM, IT'S UP INTO YOUR HANDS.

I WILL DO WHATEVER THE COURT DEEMS, PUT THE, PUT THE PICTURE BACK UP THERE OF THE, UH, OUTRIGHT BUYING IT AND THE LEASING.

IT WAS WHAT? THIS PART, THE LEASING PART? YEAH, THAT PART.

SO IT COST A HUNDRED, UH, 17,565 WOULD BE WHAT IT WOULD COST FOR OUR YEARLY LICENSING FEES.

WE PAY $167 PER IPAD.

SO THAT'S ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE.

YOU'D HAVE THE PURCHASE PRICE.

AND THEN YOU JUST HAVE YOUR LEASING EVERY YEAR.

WE'VE ALREADY PAID THIS YEAR'S LEASING.

THAT'S WHY IT'S NOT ADDED INTO THE 116,000 ON THE LEASING.

IT'S ONLY 41,000 FOR THE IPADS.

AND THEN YOU HAD TO PAY YOUR LEASE PLUS YOUR RENTAL EVERY YEAR.

THERE'S PROS AND CONS TO BOTH WAYS.

DO YOU HAVE AN OPINION OF ONE OR THE OTHER? WHAT, SINCE THE LEASING'S ONLY $2,300 DIFFERENCE A YEAR, I WOULD GO WITH LEASING.

'CAUSE YOU'RE ALWAYS GONNA HAVE THE LATEST AND THEY'LL UPGRADE 'EM EVERY THREE YEARS.

NO COST.

RIGHT? OTHER THAN, OTHER THAN THE PURCHASE OF THE PURCHASE.

I MEAN, WELL, THE LEASING, RIGHT.

I I FIGURE IN THREE YEARS IT PROBABLY WILL GO UP.

I AM NOT A HUNDRED PERCENT SURE ON THAT.

UM, I DID LEARN THAT MAY THE SEVENTH, THEY RELEASED THE IPAD 11.

APPLE DID.

SO THE IPADS THAT WE WILL BE PURCHASING RIGHT NOW IF WE PURCHASE IS A 10, WHICH IS, WAS CAME OUT IN 2022, WHICH YOU'RE ALREADY LOOKING AT.

IT'S TWO YEARS OLD.

SO THAT'S ANOTHER ISSUE THAT COULD HAPPEN.

SO IF YOU PURCHASED THEM NOW IN, UH, TWO YEARS, YOU'RE LOOKING AT REPURCHASING THEM.

WELL, IT SEEMS LIKE THE LEASING TO ME IS THE WAY TO GO, BUT, UH, I, WE'LL SEE WHAT EVERYBODY ELSE SAYS.

I'LL JUST SAY THAT I DON'T THINK THERE'S MONEY IN THE BUDGET IN YOUR BUDGET TO DO THAT THIS TIME.

IS THERE? NO, SIR.

THE ONLY THING THAT, I ONLY HAVE $40,000 IN MY BUDGET THAT I CAN GO TOWARDS IT.

AND I THINK THE, UH, THE PATHWAY TO SPENDING MONEY THAT IS NOT BUDGETED REQUIRES AN EMERGENCY.

NO, IT COULD BE FROM CONTINGENCY, I BELIEVE.

WHERE THAT DISCUSSION CAME FROM WAS THE ELECTION SERVICE FUND.

AND THAT IS TO PULL MONEY FROM FUND BALANCE.

BUT THERE IS, UM, MONEY IN JUST REGULAR GENERAL FUND CONTINGENCY, UM, THAT COULD BE USED.

THANK YOU, BROWN.

SO WHAT'S THE ALTERNATIVE? WE DON'T DO IT.

I MEAN, IF WE DON'T DO IT, THEN I WOULD SAY WE NEED TO BUDGET IT FOR THE NEXT YEAR.

BUT I WOULD, IF WE'RE GONNA LEASE, WE CAN GO AHEAD AND GO THROUGH WITH IT ON THE NEW BUDGET.

IF WE'RE GONNA PURCHASE, I WOULD WAIT UNTIL FOR SURE THE GEN 11 OR WHATEVER IT IS, THE IPAD 11 IS OUT.

AND I AND NO IN HAS EVERYTHING READY FOR IT BECAUSE OTHERWISE, TO ME IT'S A WASTE OF TWO YEARS.

SO THE, IF WE, WE, I'M NOT ONE TO KEEP THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD, BUT IF WE'RE TRYING TO SAVE TAXPAYER MONEY HERE, CAN WE DEFER THIS PURCHASE OUT OR DOES THAT PUT THE, THE ELECTION DEPARTMENT UNDER THE GUN FOR THE, THE ELECTION? EITHER.

THE ONLY WAY IT'LL BE READY FOR THE NOVEMBER ELECTION IS IF YOU DO IT NOW.

IF YOU DON'T DO IT NOW, YOU'RE NOT GONNA HAVE IT UNTIL THE MAY OF 2025.

SO IF WE DON'T DO IT NOW, AND YOU GO INTO THAT ELECTION, AM I WHAT? AND THEN YOU GO INTO THAT ELECTION AND YOU, WE DON'T DO IT NOW, WHAT HAPPENS? I DON'T KNOW.

DO WE HAVE ISSUES? I THINK THE ANSWER IS IN THAT LETTER, JUDGE, THE ANSWER I READ WAS IN THAT LETTER THAT SAID, WELL, WHAT I, I UNDERSTAND AND, AND I GUESS WHERE I'M GOING WITH THIS IS, IS THAT THERE'S REALLY LITTLE ALTERNATIVE IS, IS WHERE WE'RE IS WHERE WE'RE HEADING WITH THIS AND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.

AND SO IT'S REALLY DOWN TO A DECISION OF WHETHER WE LEASE OR WHETHER WE PURCHASE.

IS THAT CORRECT? THAT AND IF YOU DO IT NOW OR IF YOU DO IT LATER.

I HAD A QUESTION ON THE, REGARDING THE LETTER FROM NO INK ON MAY 6TH.

, DO YOU HAVE THAT ON YOUR SLIDES? WE CAN PUT THAT ON THE TV.

I JUST HAVE PARTS OF IT.

WELL, WHAT I WANTED TO DIAL IN ON WAS LIKE THE SECOND PARAGRAPH THERE.

DOES PARKER COUNTY NEED TO INVEST IN UPDATING DEVICE HARDWARE TO CONTINUE EDUCATING OR CONDUCTING ELECTIONS? IN SHORT, THE QUICK ANSWER IS NO.

PARKER COUNTY'S CURRENT DEVICES LIST SWITCH DEVICES WE HAVE ARE AND WILL BE READY FOR ELECTION DAY IN NOVEMBER 24 AND BEYOND.

NO INKS, APPLE IPAD, APP POLE PADD IS EXCLUSIVELY BUILT AND SUPPORTED BY NO INK, THE POLE PADD APP VERSION CURRENTLY USED IN

[00:15:01]

PARKER COUNTY.

AND IT GIVES THE VERSION.

SO I GUESS MY QUESTION IS, THEIR SUPPORT OF THE APP ON THAT DEVICE IS SUPPORTED FOR SECURITY AND INTEGRITY, UNLESS IF, UNLESS APPLE DOES SOME TYPE OF UPGRADE TO THEIR SECURITY BREACHES OR THAT APPLE IS THE HARDWARE, RIGHT? NO, INC.

IS THE APP THE SOFTWARE, WHICH IS THE APPLICATION THAT WE ACTUALLY USE.

AND THEIR SECURITY, THEY'RE ABLE TO SUPPORT THAT APP WITH THEIR SECURITY, CORRECT? YES, SIR.

SO I THINK IT TAKES SOMEBODY WITH A LITTLE MORE EDUCATION IN THE IT DEPARTMENT, JAMES, ON HOW THAT MIGHT AFFECT THE HARDWARE SECURITY VERSUS THE APP SECURITY.

IF THEY'RE SAYING THE APP SECURITY WILL BE SUPPORTED, HOW MUCH OF A RISK ARE WE, ARE YOU EVEN ABLE TO, IT, IT COMES DOWN TO, UH, WHAT WAS THE FLAG, WHY THEY WENT TO SEPTEMBER TO SAY WE'RE NO LONGER SUPPORTING IT.

IS THERE A NORMAL VULNERABILITY THAT HASN'T BEEN DISCLOSED? UH, IT'S THE UNKNOWN.

UH, IF ANYTHING HAPPENS SO FAR AS THEIR SOFTWARE, THEIR APP'S GONNA WORK.

BUT IF THERE'S A KNOWN VULNERABILITY WITH THAT IOS VERSION FOR THAT IPAD, UH, UH, MAN IN THE MIDDLE ATTACK, UH, ANYTHING, UH, IT'S THE UNKNOWN OF WHY THEY, UH, STOPPED.

SO, UH, IF THEY SAY IT'S OKAY, WILL IT BE OKAY? UH, POSSIBLY IF SOMETHING HAPPENS, UH, YOU CAN UPDATE IT.

I, I MEAN IT'S, IT'S THE DEAL OF TRYING TO KEEP CONCURRENT WITH THE TECHNOLOGY AND THE, UH, VULNERABILITIES ZERO DAYS THAT ARE OUT IN THE WILD.

LET ME ASK A HYPOTHETICAL QUESTION.

IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE POLL PADS AT ALL, WHAT WOULD YOU DO? HOW WOULD YOU HANDLE ELECTION? IF FOR SOME, SOME REASON WE DIDN'T, UH, HAVE THE AVAILABILITY OF POLL PADS FOR SOME UNFORESEEN REASON, YOU'D HAVE TO GO BACK TO A PAPER POLL BOOK AND THEN YOU WOULD HAVE TO STOP THE VOTE CENTERS IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE YOU HAVE IN VOTE CENTERS, YOU CAN GO TO ANY LOCATION.

IF WE DON'T HAVE THE POLL PADS, IT'S NOT TALKING TO EACH OTHER TO LET YOU KNOW THAT YOU WENT AND VOTED AT BROCK AND THEN YOU'VE COME TO ANNEX AND YOU'RE GONNA TRY TO VOTE AGAIN.

SO WE WOULD HAVE TO STOP THAT.

SO WE DON'T HAVE ANY, ANY CONTINGENCY PLAN IN PLACE TO, IN CASE THE POLL PADS WERE NOT AVAILABLE ON ELECTION DAY, ALL WE WOULD HAVE TO, WHAT WE WOULD DO IS GO BACK TO PAPER LIKE WE DID BEFORE.

BEFORE 2020? YES, SIR.

IT'D BE BEFORE 2000.

IT WAS LIKE 1999 IS WHEN I THINK THEY STOPPED DOING THE ACTUAL POLL PAPERS.

YOU CHECKED WITH OTHER COUNTIES WHAT THEY'RE DOING? I I CHECKED WITH THE ONES AROUND US AND, UM, HOOD COUNTY'S ALREADY UPDATED.

PAR UH, TARRANT COUNTY JUST PURCHASED BRAND NEW AND THOSE ARE THE MAIN TWO COUNTIES.

SO THEY'RE ALL GOING THROUGH THE SAME THEY HAD? YES, SIR.

DO THE IPADS STAY WITH US ALL YEAR IF WE LEASE THEM? YES.

UNDER THE NO INK? YES, SIR.

BECAUSE IF I'M DOING THE MATH RIGHT, IT'S AROUND $393 PER ITEM TO LEASE AND THEN A HUNDRED SIXTY SEVEN TWENTY NINE PER ITEM TO LICENSE.

RIGHT? DO I HAVE THOSE NUMBERS CORRECT? I KNOW THE 167 IS CORRECT.

YOU CAN, YOU'VE DONE THE MATH FOR THE OTHER ONE FOR ME.

MS. PAR, DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENT ON THESE DEVICES? OKAY.

JAMES, ONE MORE QUICK QUESTION AND MAYBE IT'S JUST AN EXPANSION.

WE DON'T KNOW WHEN SECURITY UPDATES ARE GONNA BE RELEASED IN ADVANCE, OBVIOUSLY IS A LOT OF TIMES WE DON'T DEFEAT THE PURPOSE.

WHEN YOU DEFEAT PURPOSE, BUY A A BRAND, IT'S GOOD TO LOOK AT, BUT YOU TYPICALLY GOTTA KEEP IN FOUR TO FIVE YEAR, UH, LIFE EXPECTANCY.

BECAUSE WE HAVE AN OLDER GENERATION OF IPAD, THEY'RE NOT GOING TO UPDATE.

UH, LOOKED AT IT.

THAT SEEMED TO DROP PRETTY HARD IN SEPTEMBER.

I BELIEVE IT'S THE 15TH YEAR.

NO LONGER SUPPORTING.

AND TO THAT, I MEAN, THEY'RE NOT GONNA PUBLICLY DISCLOSE WHY, UH, IT MIGHT NOT AFFECT THIS APP OR THE PROBLEM IS, YOU KNOW, THE APP COULD BE SECURE, BUT IF THE HARDWARE, UH, SOME ZERO DAY GIVES SOMEONE THAT ROOT ACCESS TO IT, WELL THEN THEY HAVE ACCESS TO THE APP.

I MEAN, IT'S JUST, UH, SO I GO BABY AND SAY, HEY, WHAT, YOU KNOW, ARE WE GOOD TO PROCEED? YES OR NO? UH, GET A DEFINITE ANSWER FROM THE COMPANY.

I GUESS THEY MIGHT, I GUESS WHAT I'M GETTING AT IS IF, IF THIS SUMMER, EARLY INTO THE FALL, SOMETHING LIKE THAT WERE TO COME UP WHERE SOME TYPE OF ELECTION TARGETING VIRUS WAS RELEASED, AN APPLE HAD TO RELEASE SOME TYPE OF UPDATE

[00:20:01]

IT WILL NOT OUR VERSION.

THAT'S CORRECT.

SO WHAT THIS SOUNDS LIKE TO ME, IF I'M JUST TRYING TO SIMPLIFY THIS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, IS IF WE USE OUR CURRENT IPAD, THERE IS A CHANCE THAT OUR ELECTION INTEGRITY COULD BE COMPROMISED TO SOME DEGREE.

OR WE WOULD HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE VERY DATED PAPER METHOD.

SO IF WE DON'T DO SOMETHING NOW, THERE'S A CHANCE.

THOSE ARE THE TWO OPTIONS WE ARE, WE'RE FACED WITH.

IT'S JUST THE, THE CHANCE.

I MEAN, IT MAY NOT EVEN HAPPEN.

SO I MEAN IT IS, IT'S, I BROUGHT IT TO Y'ALL BECAUSE THERE IS THIS POSSIBILITY THAT WE HAVE A VULNERABILITY.

I GUESS A QUESTION COMES TO MIND.

THE, UH, OPERATING SYSTEM, THE UPDATES TO THESE POLE PADS, HAVE THERE BEEN ANY SINCE WE'VE HAD THEM? YES.

HOW MANY WE'VE CONTINUALLY UPDATED THE IOS.

HOW MANY, HOW MANY, HOW MANY UPDATES HAVE THERE BEEN SINCE WE'VE HAD THESE? UH, DEPENDED ON EVERY YEAR.

IT CHANGED SOME YEARS IT WAS SEVERAL OF 'EM.

AND NO, PROBABLY AT LEAST SEVEN THAT I KNOW OF.

PROBABLY, I KNOW IN THE LAST YEAR WE'VE DONE TWO SEVEN TOTAL AROUND THERE SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE.

AND BRIANNA, YOU SAID THAT WE HAD ENOUGH IN CONTINGENCY TO COVER THIS? YES.

AND YOU CAN USE THE 40,000 THAT I HAVE THAT THE ELECTIONS DEPARTMENT HAS.

WE CAN COMBO THAT.

BRIANNA, SORRY TO MAKE YOU STAND UP AND SIT DOWN.

CAN, CAN WE PULL THE 40001ST AND THEN PULL WHATEVER'S NEEDED ABOVE THAT? WE, I MEAN, WE WOULD, DEPENDING ON WHICH OPTION WE GO THROUGH, WE CAN DO LIKE A SPLIT PURCHASE ORDER YEAH.

OR PAYING FOR A PORTION.

HOWEVER IT'S BROKEN OUT.

WE CAN DO THAT.

IF WE DIDN'T DO THAT, WHAT WOULD THE 40,000 COULD IT BE USED FOR? I HAD TO DRAIN IT DOWN TO NOTHING AND THEN THERE'D BE A NEED FOR IT.

IS THERE, WE WOULD JUST GO BACK INTO OUR BUDGET FOR THE NEXT YEAR.

WHICH TO BE CLEAR, THAT'S THE ELECTION SERVICE FUND, WHICH CAN ONLY BE USED FOR SPECIFIC PURPOSES.

SO COMMISSIONER HOL IS CORRECT THAT WE COULD, I'M GONNA MAKE THE MOTION THAT WE DO A SPLIT PURCHASE ORDER WHERE WE PULL FROM THE 40001ST AND THEN THE REMAINDER AND GO AHEAD AND GO WITH THE LEASE OPTION.

I'LL SECOND THAT.

UM, COMMISSIONER CONLEY BEAT ME TO THAT MOTION IS MADE BY COMMISSIONER HOLT, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER CONLEY.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL I FAVOR, JUST CLARIFICATION.

COULD I HEAR THE MOTION AGAIN? WE'RE GONNA LEASE THEM INSTEAD OF BY.

YEAH, THAT'S MY RECOLLECTION.

THAT'S THE MOTION.

LET'S JUST GO TO E DISCUSSION.

FOUR TO ONE.

DOES E NEED TO GO? IS THERE A

[6.E. Discuss/Take action to make changes to vote centers in Parker County. (Crickett Miller / Judge Deen) ]

TAKE ACTION.

TO MAKE CHANGES TO VOTE CENTERS IN PARKER COUNTY.

LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE JUST SEPARATE.

CAN WE GO BACK TO F UM, BECAUSE WE'RE GOING WITH THE LEASE OPTION.

SO I DID TALK TO FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH IN BROCK, AND THEY HAVE DECIDED TO LET US USE THEIR LOCATION.

SO WE WOULD LIKE TO MOVE FROM THE PRECINCT THREE BARN, TWO FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH IN BROCK AS A, AS A VOTE CENTER ON ELECTION DAY.

THIS IS FOR ELECTION DAY ONLY.

WE'RE STILL WORKING ON EARLY VOTING MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN.

SECOND BY COMMISSIONER HOLT.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? OKAY, LET'S GO TO ITEM G SIX.

[6.F. Discuss/Take action to purchase Knowink poll pads. (Crickett Miller / Judge Deen) (Part 2 of 2) ]

THAT'S GOING TO BE A LEASE AGREEMENT.

AND SO EITHER, SO WE'RE GOING BACK, WE'RE GOING BACK TO E ON THIS DISCUSSION GOING BACK TO FF, F, I'M SORRY.

AND SO I DON'T KNOW IF THE COURT WANTS TO MAKE IT PART OF IT OR IF IT'S GONNA HAVE TO COME BACK TO ACTUALLY EXECUTE THE LEASE, BECAUSE THAT'S A WHOLE SEPARATE AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE.

I'M JUST THINKING FROM TIMING WISE, I DON'T KNOW IF COMING BACK ON THE NEXT COURT 'CAUSE THEY'RE GONNA HAVE TO PREPARE THE LEASE AGREEMENT.

IT'LL HAVE THE PAYMENT TERMS AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

SO WITH THAT, WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO AGENDA ITEMS SAYS TO PURCHASE.

AND I PLANNED ON BRINGING IT BACK.

G DISCUSSED, TAKE ACTION TO PURCHASE ADDITIONAL HARD CIVIC INNER CIVIC VOTING EQUIPMENT.

JUST WANTED VERY GOOD.

SO THAT THE JUDGE COULD SIGN ALL THE PAPERWORK.

PERFECT.

YEP.

WE'RE ON ITEM E.

I THINK WE JUST APPROVED.

[6.G. Discuss/Take action to purchase additional Hart Intercivic voting equipment. (Crickett Miller / Judge Deen) ]

UM, THIS WE HAD ON THE ITEM ON THE AGENDA LAST TIME.

ALSO, IT'S EITHER TO BUY 25 OR 50 ADDITIONAL VOTING MACHINES.

THE DUOS ONLY IS WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.

UM, THIS IS JUST, I NEED TO KNOW IF THE COURT IS WANTING TO DO THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE'LL HAVE TO COME OUTTA CONTINGENCY.

[00:25:01]

UH, I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY IN MY BUDGET, SO IF YOU DON'T DO IT THIS TIME, WE'RE GONNA PLAN ON WHAT WE HAVE AND ROLL WITH IT.

AND THEN WE WILL ASK FOR MORE IN A FUTURE BUDGET.

I THINK WE NEED TO WAIT, PUT IT IN THE FUTURE BUDGET.

OTHER DISCUSSION ON THAT CONSENSUS? NOT, NOT TO TAKE ANY ACTION ON THAT ITEM.

TO H DISCUSS, TAKE ACTION ON REGULATIONS ON ELECTIONEERING ON PARKER COUNTY PROPERTY DURING THE VOTING PERIOD.

ARE YOU GONNA DO THE ELECTIONEERING ONE REAL QUICK? OH, I DIDN'T CIRCLE THAT ONE.

WE GO

[6.H. Discuss/Take action on regulations to electioneering on Parker County property during the voting period. (Crickett Miller / Judge Deen) ]

SO, MR. FORREST WORKED ON THIS MORE THAN I DID ON THIS TIME.

UH, HE DID SOME REGULATIONS.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE SEEN THE REGULATIONS, BUT I'LL READ 'EM TO YOU REAL QUICK.

UH, NUMBER ONE IS THESE REGULATIONS APPLY TO ELECTIONEERING AT COUNTY OWNED POLLING PLACE DURING THE VOTING PERIOD.

AND DO NOT REGULATE POLITICAL SIGNS PLACED ON PRIVATE PROPERTY.

NUMBER TWO, NO ONE MAY PLAY POST A POLITICAL SIGN AT A DRIVEWAY THAT OBSTRUCTS VISION FROM INGRESS OR EGRESS OF TRAFFIC TO OR FROM THE PROPERTY.

AND NUMBER THREE, ANY POLITICAL SIGN VIOLATING THESE REGULATIONS MAY BE REMOVED BY PARKER COUNTY STAFF AND PLACED IN TEMPORARY STORAGE.

THE OWNERS HAVE REMOVED POLITICAL SIGNS, MAY CONTACT PARKER COUNTY MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT DURING NORMAL BUSINESS HOURS TO ARRANGE A PICKUP.

IF THE OWNER OF THE POLITICAL SIGNS FAILS TO PICK UP, PICK UP ANY REMOVE SIGNS WITHIN FIVE DAYS FOLLOWING THE VOTING PERIOD, THE COUNTY WILL DISPOSE OF THEM.

OKAY? I I DO BELIEVE THAT THIS WILL HELP, ESPECIALLY AT THE ANNEX OF THE PEOPLE SO THAT THEY CAN'T PARK.

THEY PUT THE SIGNS RIGHT THERE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE TIME.

AND AS WE TRANSITION TO THE NEW LOCATION, IT'S GONNA CERTAINLY FIT THERE AS WELL.

IT'S, AS I UNDERSTAND, IT'S BEEN REVIEWED BY THE COUNTY ATTORNEY.

HE ON THAT AS WELL.

SO THE MOTION IS MADE BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN.

IS THERE A SECOND ON THIS ITEM? SECOND IS MADE BY COMMISSIONER CONLEY.

IN THE DISCUSSION DISCUSSION POINT, DID WE, DID WE NOT DISCUSS SOMETHING ABOUT LIMITING THE NUMBER OF SIGNS OR THE SIZE OF SIGNS? WE DID, BUT JOHN IS, I'M GONNA LET HIM TALK.

AND, AND I LOOKED AT THE, THE CASE LAW ON THAT AND IT, IT DOESN'T OBSTRUCT, UH, THE BUILDING AND IT'S A COMMON AREA.

THERE'S CASE LAW THAT STATES THAT SPECIFICALLY, IF IT DOESN'T DO ONE OF THE TWO, THEN IF YOU RESTRICT IT, THEN YOU'RE VIOLATING THEIR FIRST MINUTE RIGHT? TO SPEECH.

AND THAT'S WHY I INCLUDED THAT PICTURE AND THAT'S WHY I DIDN'T PUT THE FOUR BY EIGHT BECAUSE EVEN A SMALL YARD SIGN MIGHT OBSTRUCT SOMEONE'S VIEW.

OKAY, WE'LL GO TO ITEM D ONE ON INTERDEPARTMENTAL TRANSFERS OF EQUIPMENT AND INVENTORY REPORTS NONE.

SO WE JUST LEFT IT TO THE DISCRETION.

IF WE GO OUT THERE, YOU CAN'T SEE TO GET IN OR OUT.

THAT'S A HEALTH, HEALTH AND SAFETY ISSUE.

SO AT THAT POINT, WE CAN LOOK AT THAT, WE CAN TALK TO THE INDIVIDUAL, SAY, MOVE YOUR SIGN BACK.

AND IF THEY DON'T, THEN WE CAN REMOVE THAT.

SO I LEFT THAT ONE PRETTY BROAD FOR THAT PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

'CAUSE LIKE I SAID, A YARD SIGN MIGHT BE AN OBSTRUCTION AS WELL.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? THANK YOU, YOUR HONOR.

ALL IN FAVOR? MOTION PASSES BY VOTE MINUTE.

[4.D.1. Interdepartmental transfers of equipment and inventory reports.]

TWO, APPROVE THE SALVAGE DESTRUCTION OF A DESK AND LATERAL FILING CABINET X 26 TASER AND A 19 BULLETPROOF VEST.

[4.D.2. Approve the salvage/destruction of a desk and lateral filing cabinet, X26 Taser & 19 bulletproof vests. (Kim Rivas / Judge Deen) ]

AND THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE IS REQUEST REQUESTING AUTHORIZATION TO DESTROY 18 BULLETPROOF VESTS THAT HAVE EXCEEDED THE MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY DATE AS WELL.

THERE'S A TABLE AND LIST OF ALL THE ASSET NUMBERS AND SERIAL NUMBERS FOR THOSE AS WELL.

MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER HALE.

I KNOW LAST YEAR IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT FINDING SCHEDULING.

AND THEY WERE ABLE TO GET US IN PRETTY QUICK AND WE HAD OTHER, IN OTHER INTERLOCALS WHO WERE TRYING TO PIGGYBACK 'CAUSE THEY COULDN'T GET OTHER STRIPING SERVICES TO, UH, TO RESPOND.

WOULD IT WOULD, I MEAN, I, IT'S NEAR AND DEAR TO MY HEART ON THIS THING.

AS IT CONTINUES TO BECOME AN ISSUE, UH, WOULD IT, WOULD IT BE POSSIBLE TO ADD ONE, ADD MYSELF ON THAT? OR IS THAT NEEDED? OR JUST GET UPDATES WITH THAT? AND CAN YOU NO, I WANT TO, I WANT TO BE INVOLVED WITH THAT AS WE MOVE FORWARD.

AND SO THE COURT WOULD STILL BE INVOLVED.

IT WOULD, THIS WOULD JUST BE, UM, ANSWERING NOT, I WOULDN'T SAY INSIGNIFICANT, BUT QUESTIONS THAT HDR MIGHT HAVE IN THE, DURING THE PROCESS OF THE, OF THE STUDY.

DID YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO ADD? I, I WAS JUST SAYING IT WAS TO PREPARE THAT STUDY, SO IT'S NOT NECESSARILY OKAY.

JUST GETTING US TO THE POINT OF MARKETING FOR THE BONDS.

I'LL WITHDRAW THAT.

SIX ON AUTHORIZED TO ADVERTISE RFQ PC 24 DASH 39.

THE MOTION IS MADE BY COMMISSIONER HALE.

UH, DO WE HAVE A SECOND? SECOND MADE BY COMMISSIONER CONLEY? WE'RE IN THE DISCUSSION PHASE.

ANY OF THE DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM? COMMISSIONER, YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT ADD? NO, I THINK WE'RE GOOD AT THIS TIME.

FIVE OH, WE'VE GOT ITEM

[4.D.6. Authorization to Advertise RFQ PC24-39 Water Resources and Assessment Plan for Parker County. (Kim Rivas / Judge Deen) ]

WATER RESOURCE AND ASSESSMENT PLAN FOR PARKER COUNTY.

SO REQUESTING AUTHORIZATION TO ADVERTISE FOR RFQ PC 24 DASH 39 FOR WATER RESOURCES AND AN ASSESSMENT PLAN FOR THE PARKER COUNTY.

THIS WOULD BE, UM, TO HAVE AN ENGINEERING SERVICE COME IN AND, AND MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS, ASSIST WITH AN RFP TO PUT OUT FOUR, UM, WATER RESOURCES AND ASSESSMENTS LATER ON.

THIS JUST GETS THE BALL STARTED.

AND THIS WOULD BE COVERED WITH FUNDING FROM THE ARPA, UM, FUNDS THAT WAS ALLOCATED TO THE WESTERN PARKER COUNTY GROUP.

THIS IS FOR THE HYDROLOGY 2050 COMMITTEE TO, UH, HIRE AN ENGINEERING FIRM TO FILL IN THE BLANKS OF HOW MUCH WATER WE NEED AND HOW TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE, UH, DETERMINING THE NEEDS AND MOVING FORWARD WITH, UH, TRYING TO GET MORE WATER SOURCES INTO THE COUNTY.

SO THIS IS THROUGH THE HYDROLOGY 2050 COMMITTEE.

JOHN, YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS? AND THIS, THIS WILL ALLOW US TO ONCE AGAIN, GET THE NUMBERS TO SHOW THE NECESSITY.

WATER NEEDS OUT HERE IN PARKER COUNTY AS OPPOSED TO JUST USING, CONTINUING TO USE WELLS AND DRILL MORE WELLS.

OF HAVING, UH, WATER STUDY AND ALSO ADDITIONAL

[00:35:01]

SO I, EVERYBODY ASKS THIS QUESTION, HOW MUCH WATER DO YOU NEED IN PARKER COUNTY? AND A LOT OR AS MUCH AS WE CAN GET ARE NOT GOOD ANSWERS.

WE HAVE TO GET A QUANTITATIVE, UH, NUMBER, UH, FOR THAT.

SO THAT'S WHAT THIS IS ABOUT.

MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER HILL.

MOTION HAS ITS FIVE OH.

[4.D.7. Accept/Reject/Renew RFP PC24-36 Countywide Waste/Trash Receptacles & Pickup. (Kim Rivas / Judge Deen) ]

MOVE TO ITEM SEVEN.

ACCEPT, REJECT, RENEW, RFP PC 24 DASH 36 COUNTYWIDE, WASTE TRASH, RECEPTACLE AND PICKUP.

THREE RESPONSES WERE RECEIVED FOR RFP PC 24 DASH 36 FOR COUNTYWIDE, WASTE, TRASH RECEPTACLES AND PICKUP.

UM, WHAT, WHAT THIS IS FOR THE DUMPSTERS THAT ARE AT ALL OF THE COUNTY BUILDINGS, UM, HERE, UM, AND AT THE PRECINCTS THAT REQUIRE DUMPSTERS.

THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY OF THE ROLL OFF CONTAINERS.

THOSE RESPONSES WERE RECEIVED FROM TJ SERVICES, WASTE CONNECTIONS AND FRONTIER WASTE.

ALL RESPONSES WERE, ARE COMPLIANT WITH PROPOSAL, SPECS AND REQUIREMENTS.

TJ SERVICES APPEARS TO BE THE LOWEST OVERALL BID, AND THE CONTRACT PERIOD WILL BEGIN JUNE 1ST, 2024 THROUGH MAY 31ST, 2025.

AND THE INFORMATION THAT I HAVE, UH, PROVIDED YOU ALL HAS, UM, PER LOCATION THE PICKUP AMOUNT BY FOR TOTALS FOR THE MONTH.

AND IF YOU CAN TAKE A LOOK, UM, IN COMPARISON WITH THE SECOND LOWEST BID, TJ SERVICES IS ABOUT THREE, A LITTLE OVER $3,000 A YEAR, UM, CHEAPER THAN THE INCUMBENT WASTE CONNECTIONS.

JUDGE, I MOVE TO APPROVE THE LOW BID MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER WAL WITH I SECOND BY COMMISSIONER HOLT.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR PASS FIVE.

UH, WE, WELL WE DO HAVE SOMEONE HERE ON THAT ITEM.

UM, TIM CLARK.

WOULD, IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO SAY? NO.

WE'VE GOT ITEM FIVE ON NOTIFICATIONS PRECINCT TWO WILL BE ON PRIVATE PROPERTY AT 22 1 1 COLD SPRINGS ROAD TO WORK ON DRAINAGE AND EROSION.

[5.A. Precinct 2 will be on private ]

LET THAT BE NOTED ON ITEM SIX.

WE'VE DONE A

[6.B. Discuss/Take action on ongoing reporting of bond projects to Commissioners Court by Freese & Nichols. (Chris Bosco / Commissioner Holt) ]

WE'LL MOVE TO B DISCUSS, TAKE ACTION ON ONGOING REPORTING OF BOND PROJECTS FOR COMMISSIONER'S COURT BY FREEZING NICHOLS.

UH, MR. BOSCO, UH, THANK YOU.

UM, SO THIS IS, UH, THE MONTHLY REPORT, UH, FOR, UH, MAY.

UM, SO A FEW UPDATES.

UH, THE PROGRAM MANAGEMENT PLAN.

WE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY, MORGAN AND I HAD MET WITH EACH OF Y'ALL JUST TO KIND OF SHOW Y'ALL THE DRAFT FORM.

UH, I'M GONNA EMAIL Y'ALL A PDF OF THE COMPLETE PACKAGE.

SO THAT, THAT IS THE PLAN ALONG WITH THE SCHEDULES FOR EVERY PROJECT AND, UH, THE COMPREHENSIVE BUDGET FOR THE PROGRAM.

UH, ALSO GOING TO BE SENDING YOU THE, UH, WE SHOWED YOU ALL THE POWER BI THAT, THAT DASHBOARD OF THE FINANCIALS.

I THINK WE'VE WORKED OUT THE BUGS.

SO I'M GONNA SEND Y'ALL THE DIGITAL VERSION SO, UH, YOU CAN KIND OF TEST IT, GIVE US ANY FEEDBACK OF IF THERE'S A DIFFERENT, UH, WE CAN CHANGE THE FORMATTING OF THE DATA.

UH, SO IF, IF Y'ALL HAVE PREFERENCES THERE, UM, THE GOAL WOULD BE TO GET THOSE AND NOT WHAT I WAS TRYING TO TARGET IS, UH, FOR Y'ALL TO HAVE THE, THE NEXT FEW WEEKS TO KIND OF GO THROUGH IT.

AND THEN, UH, AT THE NEXT COURT, WE COULD, UH, GET A FORMAL APPROVAL ON THE PROGRAM MANAGEMENT PLAN, UH, COORDINATION ACTIVITIES.

SO, UH, TECH STOCK HAS THEIR, UH, I 20 CONSULTANT UNDER CONTRACT NOW.

UH, SO WE'RE GONNA BE GETTING A MEETING SET UP SINCE WE HAVE THE, THE RAMP PROJECT AND THE FRONTAGE ROADS, UH, TO BEGIN KIND OF COORDINATION BETWEEN, UM, THE CONSULTANTS.

OF COURSE, WE'RE, WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF SELECTING THAT CONSULTANT FOR US.

BUT, UH, GET THAT SET UP TO BEGIN THOSE COORDINATION EFFORTS ON THE BIGGER I 20, UH, PROGRAM.

UH, WE CONTINUE TO, AND, AND I'LL HAVE SEVERAL UPDATES HERE ON THE PROGRESS OF THE SURVEY, BUT, UH, OUR TEAMING PARTNERS THAT HAVE BEEN WORKING, UH, ON THE SURVEY THAT, THAT Y'ALL APPROVED, UH, ABOUT SIX WEEKS AGO, UH, ON CHURCH ROAD, UM, I HAD MENTIONED AT THE LAST UPDATE THAT, UH, I'D BEEN COORDINATING WITH COG.

UH, SO THEY ARE PROCEEDING WITH ADDING THAT TO THE METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN.

SO THAT WOULD MAKE, UH, CHURCH ROAD,

[00:40:01]

UM, AND THE LONG TERM WOULD BECOME 33 25, AND IT'D BE ELIGIBLE FOR FEDERAL FUNDING.

UH, SO THIS IS KIND OF THE FIRST STEP.

ONCE YOU GET ADDED TO THE REGIONAL PLAN, THEN YOU CAN SEEK, UH, THOSE ADDITIONAL FUNDS, UH, AND THAT THAT WOULD ALLOW, UH, TECH STOCK TO BE ABLE TO DO ALL THE SCHEMATIC AND STUDIES THAT ARE NECESSARY.

UH, ANOTHER ELEMENT IS, UH, IF YOU REMEMBER IN FEBRUARY, WE HAD PRESENTED THE, UM, THE FUNDING THAT, UH, COG AND TECH STOCK HAD ALLOCATED TO, UM, THE INITIAL FUNDING THAT WE RECEIVED.

AND SO, UH, I'VE BEEN COORDINATING WITH COG ON THE SCHEDULES.

THIS GOES IN THE TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM FOR THE REGION.

AND, UH, THIS IS SOMETHING WE REVISIT ABOUT TWICE A YEAR.

SO AS WE DEVELOP THOSE PROJECTS, WE'LL BE ABLE TO UPDATE THOSE SCHEDULES.

BUT, UH, THE PLAN BASICALLY INCLUDES THE BUDGET AND THE SCHEDULE.

AND THEN, UM, WE'RE, WE'RE ABLE TO MAKE TIP REVISIONS AS WE GO FORWARD.

UH, THE, THE ON SYSTEM CONSULTANT SELECTION, THAT'S STILL ONGOING.

UH, WE HOPE TO GET THAT FINALIZED THIS WEEK.

UH, SO WE'LL BE ABLE TO, UH, FORMALLY UPDATE THE, UH, COURT AT THE NEXT COURT ON, UH, THE CONSULTANT SELECTED.

UM, SO THAT, THAT'S, UH, PROGRESS IN IN THAT AREA.

UH, SO KIND OF A PRECINCT BY PRECINCT UPDATE.

UH, SO IN PRECINCT ONE, UM, SO RIGHT NOW WE'RE WORKING WITH OUR SURVEYOR TO GET SCOPING FOR HUTCHISON ROAD.

UH, THEY HAVE COMPLETED THE SURVEY FOR CHURCH.

UH, AND SO WE'RE BEGINNING THE DESIGN.

UM, YOU KNOW, DUSTIN HAD MET WITH COMMISSIONER CONLEY AND THE DEVELOPER KIND OF WORK THROUGH THE ALIGNMENT, UH, FOR CHURCH.

UH, AND THEN TODAY I ALSO HAVE THE DESIGN CONTRACT, UH, FOR Y'ALL'S CONSIDERATION ON ANOTHER AGENDA ITEM.

UH, THEN MIDWAY J AND WOODY AND THOMAS ROAD, WE'RE LOOKING TO KIND OF BUNDLE THOSE.

AND SO WE'RE KIND OF WORKING ON THOSE DESIGNS CONCURRENTLY SINCE IT'S, THEY'RE VERY SIMILAR IN NATURE, UH, IN PRECINCT TWO.

UH, SO ONE, UH, POSITIVE IS SOME COORDINATION THAT WHOOP LOST THE CONNECTION THERE.

THERE WE GO.

UM, COMMISSIONER HOLT HAD BEEN COORDINATING WITH, UH, TECH STOCK ON, UH, CARTER ROAD INTERSECTION THAT ORIGINALLY WAS NOT A, A PROJECT IN THE PROGRAM.

UH, BUT, UH, TEX STOCK ENDED UP SUBMITTING THAT FOR HIGHWAY SAFETY, UH, IMPROVEMENT FUNDS.

AND A COUPLE WEEKS AGO THEY NOTIFIED US THAT, THAT THAT WAS SELECTED FOR THOSE FUNDS.

UH, SO THIS IS A AREA ON 51 THAT HAS HAD SOME ACCIDENT HISTORY, AND IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE.

IT ACTUALLY HITS RIGHT WHERE THERE'S A PASSING LANE.

SO, UH, THERE'S TYPICALLY PRETTY HIGH SPEEDS AT THIS LOCATION, UH, BUT IT'S POSITIVE TO, TO HAVE SOME ADDITIONAL FUNDS COME IN, UH, RELATED TO THAT INTERSECTION.

UM, FM SEVEN 30 EXTENSION, UH, THAT ONE, WE ACTUALLY HAVE TWO REALLY GREAT FIRMS THAT WE'RE GONNA DO A INTERVIEW ON THIS WEEK.

UH, SO THAT WILL KIND OF FINALIZE THE SELECTION.

UH, FOR THE FM SEVEN 30 EXTENSION, UH, ON OAK RIDGE, UH, WE HAVE THE SURVEY COMPLETED.

UH, THAT'S ANOTHER ONE THAT I HAVE A DESIGN CONTRACT FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION ON, UH, TO BEGIN THE SUR UH, THE DESIGN OF THAT PROJECT.

UH, JOHNSON BEND AND GREEN ACRES, UH, THAT ONE, WE'RE TRYING TO EXPEDITE THE RIGHT OF WAY DOCUMENT.

SO WE'VE RECEIVED THE SURVEY.

UH, WE CURRENTLY HAVE THE SURVEYOR DEVELOPING THE RIGHT OF WAY DOCUMENTS SO WE CAN GET THE APPRAISALS GOING, UH, AT THAT INTERSECTION.

UH, SO THAT CAN KIND OF HAPPEN CONCURRENTLY WITH THE DESIGN.

UH, 1 99.

SO THIS IS VERY SIMILAR TO CARTER ROAD.

SO THE 1 99 POOL MILL, UH, WAS A PROJECT THAT, THAT ACTUALLY RECEIVED THE HIGHWAY SAFETY FUNDS LAST YEAR.

UH, SO WE'VE COMPLETED THE DESIGN AND EVERYTHING'S BEEN DELIVERED TO TECH STOCK.

UH, THEY ARE PLANNING TO LET THAT PROJECT, THAT'S THEIR TERMINOLOGY FOR THE BID OPENING.

UH, SO THAT IS PLANNING TO OPEN ON JULY 9TH.

AND THEN USUALLY CONSTRUCTION WILL START A MONTH OR SIX WEEKS FOLLOWING THAT.

AND JUST TO REFRESH YOU, THAT ONE, TECH STOCK'S LEADING COMPLETELY.

SO, UH, THE COUNTY'S RESPONSIBILITY WAS TO DELIVER THE PLANS AND THEY'RE GONNA BUILD IT.

THEY'LL MANAGE THE CONSTRUCTION.

UH, SO THAT ONE, UM, IS GOING FORWARD.

AND THEN THE FM NINE 20 TURN LANES AT, AT WILLOW CREEK, THAT'S STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION.

AND, AND LOOKING TO HAVE THAT COMPLETED BY THE END OF JUNE.

UH, PRECINCT THREE.

UH, SO THE I 20 FRONTAGE ROAD, UH, WE'RE STILL FINALIZING THE SELECTION OF THE CONSULTANT ON THAT.

AND LIKE I MENTIONED EARLIER, PLANNING TO BE ABLE TO PRESENT THAT AT NEXT COURT.

[00:45:01]

UH, THE EAST WEST ARTERIAL.

UH, SO THE BOUNDARY SURVEY IS, IS COMPLETE.

UH, WE ARE TRYING TO KIND OF IDENTIFY THE RIGHT, UH, ROUTE FOR THAT ROAD, UH, WITH THE KIND OF, THE WAY THE CREEKS COME IN.

THERE'S A LOT OF OPTIONS THERE.

AND SO BEFORE WE HAVE THE TOPOGRAPHY SURVEY DONE, UH, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE THE RIGHT GENERAL ALIGNMENT, UH, THAT ARE REALLY DRIVEN BY, YOU KNOW, MINIMIZING BRIDGE LENGTH AND, UH, ANY KIND OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS.

'CAUSE WHEN YOU'RE DOING KIND OF A GREENFIELD PROJECT LIKE THAT, THAT'S SOMETHING YOU WANNA MAKE SURE YOU DON'T, UH, TRIGGER A BUNCH OF ENVIRONMENTAL PERMITTING.

SO, UM, BUT WE FEEL LIKE WE HAVE A ALIGNMENT, UH, COMMISSIONER TO PRESENT TO YOU AND THE DEVELOPER TO KIND OF FINALIZE THAT.

AND THEN WE WILL, Y'ALL HAVE ALREADY APPROVED THE H AND H STUDY FOR THAT PROJECT.

AND WITH THAT ALIGNMENT FINALIZED, THEY'LL BEGIN ON THAT WORK.

THE RICK WILLIAMSON WIDENING PROJECT, THAT'S ONE THAT WE'VE MOVED PRETTY QUICKLY ON, LARGELY BECAUSE WE HAD SO MUCH INFORMATION FROM THE 2008 PROGRAM THAT EVEN THOUGH WE ARE GETTING AN UPDATE ON THE SURVEY, UH, THERE WE GO.

UH, EVEN THOUGH WE ARE GETTING AN UPDATE ON THE SURVEY, WE HAD PRETTY RELIABLE INFORMATION.

AND REALLY THE CRITICAL PATH ON THAT IS GOING TO BE GETTING APPROVAL AT EACH OF THE TECH STOCK INTERSECTIONS.

UH, SO WE'RE EXPEDITING THE SIGNAL REVISIONS, UH, SO THEY CAN BEGIN REVIEWING THAT.

SO THAT WOULD BE, OBVIOUSLY THE GREENWOOD SIGNAL IS OWNED, UH, BY THE CITY.

BUT THE, UH, SIGNALS AT, UH, AT THE INTERCHANGE AT 180 AND AT SPUR THREE 12, THERE'LL BE SOME SLIGHT REVISIONS TO THOSE WITH THE WIDENING OF THAT PROJECT.

UH, GRAHAM AND ASSOCIATES THAT Y'ALL HAVE ALREADY APPROVED FOR THE RAMPS, THEY'RE WORKING ON THE 30% PLANS.

UH, TO REMIND YOU, THEY'VE GOTTEN, UH, SCHEMATIC APPROVAL ALREADY AND ENVIRONMENTAL'S APPROVED.

UH, THE INTERSTATE JUSTIFICATION IS IN REVIEW AT AUSTIN.

UH, SO THEY'VE MADE GREAT PROGRESS ON THAT PROJECT.

THAT ONE OF COURSE BEGIN WITH, UH, WEATHERFORD WORKING WITH THEM.

AND THEN, AND NOW THAT THEY'RE UNDER CONTRACT WITH Y'ALL, UH, THEY'RE DEVELOPING, UH, 30% PLAN SET TO SUBMIT TO TECH STOP, UH, PRECINCT FOUR.

UH, SO THE TOPO THE TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEY IS COMPLETED ON, UH, BANKHEAD, THE, THE MAIN PORTION OF THE ROAD.

UH, THEY'RE STILL WORKING ON THE BOUNDARY SURVEY.

THEY HAD DONE KIND OF THE OFFICE RESEARCH, BUT A LOT OF TIMES YOU GET KIND OF OVERLAPPING PROPERTY LINES THAT THEY HAVE TO RESOLVE.

UH, SO WE PLAN TO GET THAT PART IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS AND THAT WILL ALLOW US TO KIND OF FINALIZE THE, UH, ANY RIGHT OF WAY OR EASEMENTS THAT WILL BE NEEDED.

UH, WE JUST RECEIVED AT THE END OF LAST WEEK THE SURVEY FOR KELLY ROAD SOUTH.

UH, THAT WAS A SURVEY THAT Y'ALL APPROVED IN THE PRIOR COURT, UH, ON THE BANKHEAD BRIDGE.

THEY'RE NEARING COMPLETION OF THAT SURVEY.

UH, AND THEN, UH, WE WENT AHEAD AND STARTED THE H AND H.

IT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN THE EAST WEST ARTERIAL IN THAT WE, WE KNOW THE ALIGNMENT.

UH, SO THEY'RE ABLE TO START THAT WORK EVEN THOUGH WE'RE FINALIZING THE SURVEY.

UH, THE FM FIVE INTERSECTION COMMISSIONER, YOU HAVE ASKED ABOUT THAT IN THE PAST.

AND, UH, WE ACTUALLY HAD ALL THE SURVEY FOR THAT FROM THE LAST BOND.

UH, SO WE'RE PROCEEDING WITH THE INTERSECTION, UH, DESIGN THERE AND PLAN TO MEET WITH YOU AND TECH STOCK TO KIND OF FINALIZE THAT WE'RE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE.

THAT IS ONE OF THE PROJECTS THAT, UH, IS ALREADY FUNDED.

UH, SO OUR PLANS TO KIND OF EXPEDITE THE DESIGN SO WE CAN GET IN THE REVIEW PROCESS WITH, UH, WITH TECH STOCK.

IF YOU REMEMBER IN THE PAST BOND, WE WERE DOING A SAFETY IMPROVEMENT THERE WHERE WE REALLY WEREN'T WIDENING THE INTERSECTION.

WE WERE TRYING TO RESOLVE A DROP OFF ISSUE.

UH, SO THIS PROJECT IN THIS BOND ACTUALLY WILL BUILD THAT AS A FULL, UH, INTERSECTION WITH RIGHT AND LEFT TURN LANES, UH, OLD WEATHERFORD ROAD.

UH, THAT ONE IS ONE WE RE-ADVERTISED FOR BIDS.

AND THE BID OPENING IS THIS FRIDAY.

UH, SO ABOUT READY TO GET THAT ONE UNDER CONSTRUCTION.

AND, UH, SO THAT'S ONE THAT, THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING THROUGH, UH, FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS, BUT WE'RE EXCITED TO GET THAT BID.

UH, SO THAT KIND OF CONCLUDES THE SUMMARY.

IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS? NO COMMENTS.

UM, WE DO NEED A MOTION ON THAT DISCUSSION TO TAKE ACTION, ONGOING REPORTING ON THAT.

I WOULD ASK FOR A MOTION.

I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANYTHING TO APPROVE JUDGMENT, THE WORDING OF IT.

COUNSELOR, DO WE HAVE TO TAKE ACTION ON THAT? BECAUSE I THINK WE HAD THAT IN THE PAST.

'CAUSE SOMETIMES I HAD CONTRACTS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT ITEM, BUT TODAY WE ACTUALLY HAVE A SEPARATE

[00:50:01]

ITEM FOR THE CONTRACTS.

GOOD ITEM C AND CON COURT CONSIDERATION FOR APPROVAL OF BOND PROGRAM ENGINEERING CONTRACTS, ITEMS ONE, TWO, AND THREE.

VERY WELL, WE'LL TAKE NO ACTION ON THAT THEN.

[6.C. Court Consideration for Approval of Bond Program Engineering Contracts. (Chris Bosco / Judge Deen) ]

UM, SO IN FOLLOWING UP WITH, WITH THAT MONTHLY REPORT, I MENTIONED HOW THERE, I HAD THREE DESIGN CONTRACTS FOR Y'ALL'S CONSIDERATION.

UH, YOU PROBABLY NOTED WITH THERE'S A LOT OF DESIGN GOING ON.

I, UM, JUST IN THE TIMING OF GETTING EVERYTHING PREPARED FOR COURT, THESE WERE THE THREE THAT, THAT I HAD READY TO GO.

UM, AND SO THAT WOULD BE THE, THE BANKHEAD WIDENING.

UH, THIS IS FROM RANCH HOUSE ROAD TO 1187.

UH, OAK RIDGE DRIVE, UH, UH, WIDENING AS WELL.

UH, AND THEN THE CHURCH ROAD, THAT'S THE GREENFIELD EXTENSION.

UH, SO TO, TO SUMMARIZE EACH OF THESE.

UM, SO THIS WOULD, UH, THE SCOPE OF THIS IS COMPLETING ALL THE DESIGN, TAKING IT TO CONSTRUCTION.

UH, SO THERE'S SEVERAL ELEMENTS IN THERE.

UM, SO, UH, THE, THE DETAILED DESIGN, UH, OF COURSE GOING THROUGH THE BID PHASE PROCESS AS WELL.

UH, BANKHEAD DOES HAVE AN ENVIRONMENTAL COMPONENT LARGELY 'CAUSE THE LARGE, UH, THERE'S SEVERAL LARGE CREEK CROSSINGS THERE.

UH, IN ADDITION THAT, UH, BANKHEAD DOES HAVE A, I GUESS IT'S LABELED AS AN HISTORIC ROAD.

AND SO THERE WOULD BE SOME COORDINATION WITH THE THC ON THAT ONE.

AND THEN FROM A SURVEY PERSPECTIVE, Y'ALL ALREADY APPROVED THE TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEY, BUT YOU'LL SEE THERE DEVELOPING RIGHT OF WAY AND EASEMENT DOCUMENTS.

UH, WHAT WE'VE ASSUMED RIGHT NOW IS 12 PARCELS, UH, BASED ON US LOOKING AT GIS DATA.

UM, THE INTENT, YOU KNOW, THE, THESE CONTRACTS ARE SET AS A NOT TO EXCEED.

SO IF WE DO 10, Y'ALL ONLY PAY FOR 10, BUT WE BUDGETED FOR 12 FOR BOTH THE RIGHT OF WAY AGENT AND THE, THE RIGHT OF WAY DOCUMENT DEVELOPMENT.

AND SO, UH, THE GOOD NEWS ON THIS PROJECT, THERE'S A COUPLE OF DEVELOPERS THAT HAVE INDICATED THEY, UH, WOULD CONSIDER DEDICATING OR PARTNERING WITH THE COUNTY.

AND SO, UH, I THINK THAT'S A POSITIVE THERE FROM THE BUDGET OF THE RIGHT OF WAY.

UH, ALSO HAVE, UH, SUBSURFACE UTILITY ENGINEERING.

THAT'S ACTUALLY A BIG ELEMENT ON THIS JOB.

UH, WE ENCOUNTERED THAT IN THE LAST BOND.

THERE'S A LOT OF GAS AND WATER FACILITIES THAT RUN ALONG THIS ROAD.

UH, SO THAT'S PROBABLY THE MOST CRITICAL PATH ELEMENT.

UH, AND THEN THE GEOTECH, UM, FOR THE, THE PROJECT AS WELL.

AND DOING THE PAVEMENT DESIGN.

UH, SO THE TOTAL COST FOR, UH, THE FINAL DESIGN SERVICES IS 1,270,800.

UM, AND SO THAT WOULD BE FOR COMPLETING BANKHEAD.

UM, I THOUGHT I'D GO AHEAD AND DO THE OTHER TWO AND THEN WE CAN OPEN UP TO, GO AHEAD.

GO AHEAD.

WELL, I HAD A QUESTION ABOUT THAT.

DOES ON BANKHEAD, DOES THE COUNTY OR THE STATE OWN THAT RIGHT OF WAY CURRENTLY? OR ARE WE HAVING TO PURCHASE THE ENTIRETY OF THAT RIGHT OF WAY? SO THE REASON I'M ASKING IS BECAUSE THAT WAS A, THAT WAS THE ORIGINAL PAVED ROAD THROUGH THE COUNTY, AND I DIDN'T KNOW WHETHER THEY HAD ACQUIRED RIGHT OF WAY AT THAT TIME OR WHETHER IT'S A PRESCRIBED EASEMENT LIKE THE REST OF THE ROADS ARE.

DOES ANYBODY HAVE THE ANSWER TO THAT? SO I, UH, AND I MENTIONED IN THE MONTHLY REPORT, THEY'RE KIND OF FINALIZING THE RIGHT OF WAY OF THAT.

TO MY KNOWLEDGE, IT IS PART WILLOW PARK, PARK COUNTY.

AND I THINK THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF ALITO RIGHT BY 1187, BUT WE WILL GET THAT CONFIRMED OF THE OWNERSHIP THERE.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M ASKING JOHN? I I I DO.

SO FEE OWNERSHIP, IS IT A PRESCRIPTIVE ROAD OR IS IT A ACTUALLY COUNTY OWNED ROAD? DO YOU KNOW THAT? I, I DON'T KNOW THAT RIGHT NOW, BUT I WILL, YEAH, WE WILL GET THAT CONFIRMED FROM WHEN WE DID THE, UH, CULVERT WIDENING.

UH, AT THAT TIME, IT, IT DID SEEM LIKE IT WAS A FULL RIGHT OF WAY THAT IT WASN'T PRESCRIPTIVE RIGHTS.

THAT BEING SAID, THERE MIGHT BE A FEW PARCELS IN THERE THAT, THAT SHOW IN A PRESCRIPTIVE NATURE.

WELL, THIS IS THE ORIGINAL TEXAS NUMBER ONE FIRST HIGHWAY.

YOU KNOW, SO THAT'S THE REASON I'M ASKING.

THAT, THAT WAS AN ELEMENT THAT, UM, AND YOU KNOW, ONE, I I HAD MENTIONED THIS TO COMMISSIONER HALE IS, UM, WITH IT HAVING THAT DESIGNATION OF HOW MUCH COORDINATION WE HAVE TO DO WITH THE THC, SIMILAR TO WHAT WE DID ON THE LOOP.

AND SO, UH, RIGHT NOW WHAT WE HAVE IS KIND OF THE INITIAL, UH, REVIEW OF IT SUBMITTING THE DOCUMENTATION TO THC.

AND WE'RE HOPING THERE'S NO FURTHER REVIEW, BUT, UH, THAT'S SOMETHING WE WILL HAVE TO, UH, WORK THROUGH THERE.

AND, AND CHRIS ON THE, THE PRESCRIPTIVE AREA THAT WE CURRENTLY UTILIZE, WE WOULDN'T HAVE TO PURCHASE THAT.

IT WOULD JUST BE THE ADDITIONAL RIGHT OF WAY THAT WE'D NEED.

COMPARED TO LIKE THE MARKET VALUE.

THAT THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT WAY A NOWADAYS A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE PURCHASING PRESCRIPTIVE RIGHTS, BUT IT'S A, UH, A MINIMAL AMOUNT

[00:55:01]

UH, BUT LIKE I SAID, I, I THINK ON THIS ONE IT IS, UH, I DON'T THINK IT IS PRESCRIPTIVE.

UM, BECAUSE I, I KNOW WE, YOU KNOW, WE, WE WERE TALKING TO SOME OF THE, THE LANDOWNERS ON THE, THE FAR, UH, EAST SIDE THAT HAVE THE LARGE LAND THERE FROM CHAMPIONS TO 1187.

AND THAT SEEMS LIKE A CLEAR RIGHT OF WAY.

UH, AND SO, BUT TO, TO YOUR POINT, I THINK THERE COULD BE SOME PARCELS IN THERE WHERE WE HAVE A PRESCRIPTIVE SITUATION.

UH, THE NEXT ONE HERE IS OAK RIDGE DRIVE.

UH, SO VERY SIMILAR SCOPE.

YOU'LL SEE THAT OAK RIDGE DOESN'T HAVE THAT ENVIRONMENTAL COMPONENT, UH, MAINLY 'CAUSE THERE'S NOT ANY LIKE MAJOR CREEKS CROSSING.

EVERYTHING'S LIKE VERY MINOR CULVERTS.

UH, SO WE DON'T ANTICIPATE ANY ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN ON BANKHEAD.

IT DOES HAVE, UH, THE SAME, THERE IS, UH, QUITE A FEW UTILITIES, UH, INCLUDING EVEN THE MAJOR WATERLINE THAT THAT WEATHERFORD HAS THAT GOES TO THE LAKE THERE.

UH, SO WE HAVE THE SIOUX ADDED TO THIS.

UH, THEN ON A RIGHT OF WAY PERSPECTIVE, UH, WE'RE ANTICIPATING FOUR PARCELS OF RIGHT OF WAY.

UM, A LOT OF THAT IS ONE WE KNOW IS OWNED BY THE CITY OF HUDSON OAK, SO THAT'S A POSITIVE.

BUT, UH, AT THE INTERSECTION OF RED EAGLE WHERE WE'RE LOOKING AT A ROUNDABOUT, UH, WE ANTICIPATE SOME CORNER CLIPS NEEDED, UH, FOR THE ROUNDABOUT TO FIT.

UH, SO THAT'S THE, THE RIGHT OF WAY THAT'S INCLUDED IN THIS, OF COURSE, THE GEOTECH WORK AS WELL.

AND SO, UH, AND THE TOTAL COST FOR THE DESIGN SERVICES HERE IS 991,000, UH, $40.

AND THEN THE THIRD ONE I HAVE HERE IS CHURCH ROAD.

UH, SO CHURCH ROAD IS A GREENFIELD PROJECT, SO NEW, A BRAND NEW ROAD.

THERE'S NO EXISTING ROAD IN THIS ROUTE.

SO IT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT SCOPE.

UM, IT, IT'S OBVIOUSLY A, A SMALLER PROJECT RELATIVE TO THE OTHER TWO.

UH, DOES STILL HAVE THE ENVIRONMENTAL COMPONENT IN HERE, GIVEN THAT IS GREENFIELD.

UH, WE TYPICALLY ALWAYS, UH, MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S NOTHING OF CONCERN, UH, IN THAT RIGHT OF WAY.

UH, WE HAVE HAD SOME INITIAL MEETINGS WITH THE DEVELOPER AND, UH, ALONG WITH, UH, COMMISSIONER CONLEY TO KIND OF, UH, TALK THROUGH THE ALIGNMENT THERE.

UH, AND SO THIS ONE, UH, WE ACTUALLY ARE ASSUMING, UH, THREE PARCELS OF RIGHT OF WAY.

SO ONE IS OWNED BY THAT DEVELOPER AND THEN A PARCEL ON EITHER END TO MAKE THE INTERSECTIONS ALIGNED BETTER.

UH, SO THAT, UH, THE RIGHT OF WAY SERVICES AND DOING THE RIGHT OF WAY DOCUMENTS IS INCLUDED IN THIS ONE AS WELL.

UH, BUT IT'D BE THE SAME THING TAKING IT, UH, UH, TO THE FULL, UH, TWO BID SERVICES.

UH, THERE IS SOME COORDINATION WITH TEX LOCK.

THE NICE THING AT SEVEN 30, THERE'S ALREADY TURN LANES IN PLACE.

UH, SO WE WILL OF COURSE HAVE THE TURN LANES ON, UH, CHURCH, BUT WE WON'T HAVE TO MAKE ANY MODIFICATIONS TO SEVEN 30 AT THIS LOCATION.

SO, UH, THAT'S KIND OF A PLUS IN TERMS OF, UM, THE EFFORT THERE ON THE STATE SYSTEM.

UH, SO WITH THAT, UH, THIS ONE IS 232,650.

UH, TO KIND OF GIVE YOU, UH, A OVERVIEW, I, WE, WHEN MORGAN AND I KIND OF PRESENTED THE PROGRAM MANAGEMENT PLAN, WE HAVE BUDGETS FOR EVERY PROJECT, UH, ON CHURCH.

WE'RE PRETTY CLOSE TO THE BUDGET.

WE'RE ABOUT 40,000 UNDER, UM, ON, UM, UH, OAK RIDGE.

WE'RE ABOUT 150,000 UNDER THOSE BUDGETS THAT WE HAD ORIGINALLY DEVELOPED WHEN THE PLANNING PHASE.

AND THEN BANKHEAD, WE WERE ABOUT 400,000 UNDER.

SO, UH, I THINK I, YOU KNOW, HAD KIND OF ESTIMATED BANKHEAD A LITTLE HIGHER ORIGINALLY.

UH, SO WE ARE UNDER THOSE BUDGETS THAT YOU'VE SEEN, UH, FROM WHEN WE WERE PLANNING THE PROJECTS BEFORE THE ELECTION WAS APPROVED.

UH, AND OF COURSE, AS WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IN THE PAST, THE IDEAS THAT, UH, ANY SAVINGS WOULD, WOULD GO TO A CONTINGENCY FUND AT THE END OF THE PROGRAM OR WHEN THE PROJECT'S COMPLETED.

SO ANY QUESTION ON ANY OF THESE? ANY COMMENTS? NO.

I WOULD ASK FOR A MOTION ON THIS MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER HALE.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON ANY OTHER PROJECTS? ALL IN FAVOR PASS FIVE.

FROM JACOBS ENGINEERING GROUP INCORPORATED TO PROVIDE SURVEYING SERVICES FOR TXDOT AS PART OF A ONE YEAR HIGHWAY FM ONE 13 IMPROVEMENT PROJECT IN MILLSAP, BEGINNING 6 1 24.

CHRIS.

I THINK I, I COULD PROBABLY SPEAK TO THE NEXT ITEM.

YOU ARE AS WELL.

YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.

I'M JUST, I'M JUST THANKING YOU FOR THAT ONE.

OH, THANK YOU .

AND WE GO

[6.D. Discuss/Authorize the County Judge to execute Right of Entry Requests from Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc. to provide surveying services for TxDOT as part of a one-year Highway FM 113 improvement project in Millsap beginning 6/1/2024. (Judge Deen) ]

TO ADAM D IN DISCUSSION.

AUTHORIZE THE COUNTY JUDGE TO EXECUTE RIGHT OF WAY, ROUTE OF ENTRY REQUESTS

[01:00:01]

AND, AND THIS IS SIMILAR TO WHAT WE'RE DOING A LOT THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY IS GETTING RIGHT OF ENTRY FOR SURVEY.

UH, SO THIS IS RELATED TO OUR ONE 13 JOB WHERE YOU'VE ALREADY PURCHASED ALL THE, THE LAND FOR THAT.

UH, SO THEY'RE DOING A BIGGER ONE 13, UH, FM ONE 13 JOB.

AND SO THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE ASKING FOR PERMISSION TO ACCESS, UM, THE COUNTY'S PROPERTY TO DO THAT SURVEY.

IT DOESN'T REPLACE WHAT WE'RE DOING.

I THINK IT'S JUST SINCE THEY HAVE A DIFFERENT SURVEYOR THAN US, THEY'RE GONNA RESURVEY EVERYTHING.

UH, BUT THAT, THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE SEEKING IS PERMISSION FOR THAT ACCESS.

MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER WALTER WITH THE SECOND OF A COMMISSIONER.

HOLT, ANY OTHER DISCUSSION YOU GOT? ANYTHING ELSE? UH, NO, SIR.

UH, ALL IN FAVOR PASS.

WE'LL MOVE DOWN TO ITEM I ON A RECLASSIFY OF COURTHOUSE SECURITY SERGEANT TO SERGEANT, UH, EFFECTIVE 6 1 20 24, REQUESTING SALARY ADJUSTMENT INCREASE OF $1,867 ANNUALLY USING CURRENT PARKER COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE.

CHRIS.

[6.I. Reclassify Courthouse Security Sergeant to Sergeant effective 6/1/2024. Requesting salary adjustment increase of $ 1,867.00 annually using current PCSO salary budget lines. (Sheriff Aufhier / Judge Deen) ]

SALARY, BUDGET LINE ITEMS. SHERIFF, GOOD MORNING.

OUR, OUR PRESENT COURTHOUSE SECURITY SERGEANT'S RETIRING AT THE END OF THIS MONTH AFTER 33 YEARS, UH, WITH THE COUNTY.

UH, WE, WE'VE COME UP WITH A PLAN, I GUESS TO ADD ANOTHER SERGEANT THERE ARE TO REPLACE THAT SERGEANT, BUT THAT PUT ADDITIONAL DUTIES ON HIM, WHICH WOULD INCLUDE TRANSPORT AND EXTRADITION.

SO WE WOULD LIKE TO UPGRADE THAT POSITION.

AND IT IS, IT'S ALMOST $1,900 ANNUALLY.

SO WITH LESS THAN HALF A YEAR TO GO THIS YEAR, I GUESS IT'D BE ABOUT LESS THAN HALF OF THAT FIGURE MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN.

SECOND BY COMMISSIONER HALE.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? I ASSUME YOU HAVE THE MONEY IN THE BUDGET AND ALL THAT GOOD STUFF.

WE HAVE AMPLE, I BELIEVE IT SAID USING EXISTING SALARY WOULD BE EXISTING.

YES, CORRECT.

YOU'RE NOT ASKING MONEY FOR MONEY OUT OUT OF CONTINGENCY TO PAY FOR THIS? NO, NO.

THIS IS EXISTING SALARY LINE.

JUST CHECKING.

GONNA, WE'RE GONNA MOVE TO DOWN TO ITEM Z ON THE APPROVAL OF THE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT FOR HASKELL COUNTY FOR INMATE HOUSING AND TAKE ANY ACTION.

I DID.

ALL IN FAVOR OF THAT.

[6.Z. Approve the Interlocal Agreement for Haskell County for Inmate Housing and take any action the court deems necessary. (John Forrest / Judge Deen) ]

SHERIFF TOLD YOU NOT TO SIT DOWN.

WE'RE ON ITEM Z AND THIS IS APPROVAL.

UH, THESE NEXT ITEMS ARE REALLY CONTINGENT.

UH, I THINK, YOU KNOW, A FEW WEEKS AGO WE WERE AT CAPACITY AT THE JAIL, AND THESE ARE JUST OVERFLOW CONTINGENCY PLANS FOR SOME OTHER FACILITIES.

MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER HOLT.

AND SECOND ON THIS ITEM IS SECOND COMMISSIONER WALDEN HAS MADE THE SECOND.

IS THERE ANY OF THE DISCUSSION? YES.

AND, AND, UH, YOU KNOW, ONE, ONE NOTE THERE ARE IS GONNA BE 14 ADDITIONAL BEDS THAT ARE GONNA BE PLACED IN THE JAIL.

THAT GOT APPROVED BY JAIL STANDARDS COMMISSION.

IF YOU WANNA TALK ABOUT THAT, THAT THAT VARIANCE WAS APPROVED, UH, EARLIER THIS MONTH, UH, IN AUSTIN.

UH, SO WE WILL BE ABLE TO ADD, UH, I THINK IT'S 13 OR 14 BEDS TO THAT, AND WE'RE JUST KIND OF RE RESTRUCTURING.

UH, BUT ON THAT NOTE AS WELL, UH, WE HAD, UH, PLANS FOR A LOW RISK FACILITY, A 48 BED LOW RISK FACILITY OUT THERE THAT WE TOOK OFF THE BUDGET LAST YEAR.

AND THEY ALLUDED TO THE FACT THAT THEY WOULD NOT APPROVE THAT VARIANCE.

SO, UM, YOU HAVE TO HAVE A CERTAIN PER PERCENTAGE OF SINGLE BEDS TO DORMITORIES.

AND RIGHT NOW, WITH OUR NEW ADDITION, WE'RE GONNA EXCEED THAT.

AND THAT'S WHAT THE VARIANCE THEY, THEY ALLOWED US TO DO THAT ONE, BUT THAT'S PROBABLY GONNA BE IT.

SO WE'RE GONNA BE PRETTY MUCH AT CAPACITY.

UM, WE HAVE A MOTION ON THIS MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER HALE.

WE HAVE A SECOND, SECOND MADE BY COMMISSIONER HOLT.

ANY OF THE DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR.

MOTION PASSES BY VOTE.

MARK, YOU HAVE ANYTHING ON THAT YOU'D LIKE TO SPEAK TO? WHICH ONE WAS IT? JUDGE ITEM K ON DISCUSS APPROVED PAYING INVOICE FOR FLOORING CONTRACTOR FOR PRECINCT TWO.

FLOORING INSTALLATION.

I JUST WANTED TO BE, THIS IS A SMALL CONTRACTOR WE'RE USING AND HE DOESN'T HAVE THE ECONOMICS TO PROLONGED PAYMENT.

I JUST WANTED TO GET HIM PAID AS QUICKLY AS WE COULD.

THAT'S ALL.

IT'S OKAY.

MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER HALE, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER HOLT? NOPE.

WE DISCUSSION PHASE TO IT.

I MEAN, WE, IF WE PAY OUTSIDE OF COURT, THERE HAS TO BE SOME SORT OF, WHAT? I MEAN, WHO ARE WE PAYING? WHAT'S THE EXTENT OF WHAT WE'RE PAYING? 'CAUSE NORMALLY WHAT HAPPENS IS WE RECEIVE THE INVOICES, WE AUDIT IT, WE PRESENT IT TO COURT FOR PAYMENT.

SO IF THIS IS A REQUEST TO PAY OUT OF THAT, THEN THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME SORT OF WELL, I DIDN'T WANT IT TO DO THAT.

I JUST WANTED TO COME.

I THOUGHT THERE WAS REGULAR CHANNELS.

I THOUGHT THERE WAS SOMETHING SUBMITTED TODAY.

I CAN LOOK THROUGH THERE, BUT I THINK HE SENT THE BILL AND THEN SYLVIA SENT IT TO Y'ALL.

SO IF IT WAS SENT BY CUTOFF THEN IT, IT WAS, I DON'T THINK IT WAS THOUGH, BY CUTOFF.

BUT ANYWAY, THAT'S ALL I WANTED TO JUST, I DIDN'T MEAN FOR IT TO GO THIS ROUTE TO BE HONEST WITH YOU.

LET'S GO TO ADAM MEL ON DISCUSS, TAKE ACTION TO REVAMP PARKING LOT AT DALLAS AND YORK.

DO WE NEED TO TAKE NO ACTION, ACTION ON THIS COUNSELOR? I, IF WE CAN CHECK THOSE BILLS TO SEE IF IT'S IN THERE.

THERE IS BLACK PIPE RAILING AROUND THE EDGE OF THAT PARKING LOT, UH, THAT WE WOULD NEED TO CHISEL AND DEMO AROUND TO REPLACE THE SIDEWALK.

UH, WHAT WE'RE ASKING IS IF YOU WOULD ALLOW US OR AGREE TO ALLOW US TO REMOVE THAT PIPING AND GO BACK IN WITH ALL NEW SIDEWALK IN ITS PLACE.

AND THEN WHAT MARK AND I TALKED ABOUT WAS, UH, SIMPLY HAVING THE COUNTY, UH, WOULD INSTALL PARKING BLOCKS ALONG THAT EDGE SO THE VEHICLES WON'T PROTRUDE INTO THE PEDESTRIAN ACCESS.

[6.O. Discuss/Take action on RTC appointment rotation effective July 24, 2024. (Judge Deen) ]

TO ITEM O.

DISCUSS, TAKE ACTION ON RTC.

APPOINTMENT ROTATION EFFECTIVE JULY 24TH, 2024.

UH, YOU ALL SHOULD HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU THE RTC PACKET THAT I PUT TOGETHER, UH, FOR YOUR REVIEW AND ON THE COVER.

THAT BASICALLY, UM, THERE'S SEVERAL DOCUMENTS HERE AS YOU GO THROUGH THIS.

BASICALLY, WHAT THE, THE DURATION OF THE, THE TERM THAT, UH, PARKER COUNTY AND WEISS COUNTY HAS, UH, ROTATION SCHEDULES BASED ON POPULATION ON A 70 30 RATIO, WHICH IS ON THE THIRD PAGE THAT YOU'LL NOTE THERE, THAT WILL COME TO A CONCLUSION ON THAT DATE.

AND SO AT WHI AT WHICH TIME, THEN THAT WOULD REVERT BACK TO A ROTATION, UH, AT THE CHOOSING OF, OF WHO WE CHOOSE TO DO THAT.

AND WHAT I WOULD, AND I ALSO IN HERE IS A LETTER THAT I SENT OUT TO THE VOTING MEMBERS, UH, IN MY REQUEST IN TAKING THAT POSITION, GIVEN THE CONTINUITY, THE FACT THAT WE HAVE PASSED THE BOND.

AND ALSO, I WILL ADD, AND I SAW CYNTHIA COME IN HERE JUST A SECOND AGO.

DID SHE HOOK 'EM? IT'S ALL RIGHT.

YOU DON'T NEED TO GO GET HER.

UH, WE HAVE RE REALLOCATED SOME OF HER TIME THAT, UM, WHEN I GO TO THE, UH, THE, UH, MEETINGS AND, UH, FOR THE RTC THAT SHE WILL ALSO BE ACCOMPANIED IN SOME OF THOSE ON A NEED BASIS AND HAS BEEN VERY CRUCIAL IN ESTABLISHING RELATIONSHIPS WITH MIKE MORRIS.

AND, AND SO, UH, WHAT YOU ALSO SEE IN HERE, AND THIS IS STILL BASED ON THE SAME THING AS THE ATTENDANCE OF THIS.

[01:15:01]

AND, UH, IF YOU LOOK AT JUDGE CLARK'S ATTENDANCE ON THIS IN HIS ROTATION, I WANNA GO OVER THAT JUST BRIEFLY.

AND WHERE YOU SEE THE P IS PRESENT, WHERE THE ER IS, IS WHERE HE WAS ABSENT, BUT IT WAS EXCUSED.

AND THEN THE REPRESENTATIVE, WHICH IS THE, WHICH IS ME, UH, THEN FILLED THAT SPOT.

SO, UH, WHERE THERE'S TWO ABSENCES HERE, UH, ONE OF WHICH I WAS IN TRAINING IN PROBATE AND COULD NOT GO TO THAT ONE.

SO THAT WAS, THAT WAS A PURE ABSENT.

AND THEN THE OTHER ONE ON NINE 14, I WAS NOT AWARE OF THAT OR WAS NOT MADE AWARE, OR I WOULD'VE GONE TO THAT.

BUT YOU CAN SEE HERE ON FOUR DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, I DID ATTEND THOSE.

AND, UH, I ALSO ATTEND ABOUT, OH, ABOUT A THIRD OF THOSE THAT I'M NOT REQUIRED TO GO TO.

UH, BUT I DO JUST, JUST TO LEARN.

AND, YOU KNOW, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT GIVEN THE FACT THAT WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING THE, THE CRITICAL FUNDS, FEDERAL FUNDS AND MATCHING FUNDS, UH, THAT WE'RE, OUR PRESENCE IS THERE.

AND I THINK CYNTHIA'S GONNA HELP WITH THAT AS WELL.

AND SHE HAS BEEN.

AND, UH, I WOULD REQUEST THAT BASED ON THE FACT THAT MY ATTENDANCE IS AT A HUNDRED PERCENT OF THIS, UH, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE ONE I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT HER, I WOULD'VE GONE TO THAT ONE.

UH, AND I'M COMMITTED TO MAKING A HUNDRED PERCENT OF THESE MEETINGS, UM, UH, IN, IN MAINTAINING THAT CONTINUITY.

AND I THINK THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT.

AND ALSO GIVEN THE RELATIONSHIPS THAT WE BUILT, UH, BECAUSE PARKER COUNTY REALLY HAS ESTABLISHED ITSELF ON THAT, ON THAT COMMITTEE, ON THAT COUNCIL AS SOMEONE WITH PASSING THIS BOND AND TAKING TRANSPORTATION VERY SERIOUSLY FOR THE REGION.

UH, BUT I WILL COMMIT TO THAT AND MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE THERE AND WE HAVE SUPPORT THERE IN WORKING WITH THE TEAMS AND ALL OUR TRANSPORTATION PARTNERS.

AND I HAVE SENT THAT LETTER, WHICH YOU'LL ALSO SEE COMMITTING TO THAT VERY THING.

SO, AND THIS DOES GO TO Y'ALL AS WELL AS THE OTHER VOTING MEMBERS WITH, UH, UH, WISE COUNTY, UH, ALSO IN, UH, WEATHERFORD AND WEATHERFORD CAN'T SPEAK YOU.

YOU'RE WELCOME TO REACH OUT.

AND CHAD, I KNOW YOU'RE HERE AND I KNOW YOU'VE TALKED TO, UH, MR. OP AND ALSO MAYOR PASCAL, IF, IF THOSE, I THINK IT HASN'T GONE TO YOUR COUNCIL YET FOR VOTING, BUT I THINK THAT'S, I THINK THAT'S FAVORABLE ALONG WITH MAYOR PASCAL AND MR. HOT TOP, IF YOU WANTED TO SPEAK TO THEM AS WELL.

BUT I CAN'T SAY WHETHER FOR IT SUPPORTS THIS YET UNTIL YOUR COUNCIL VOTES ON IT, SO YEAH.

BUT THERE'S NO ISSUES, I DON'T THINK WE HAVE THERE.

SO I WOULD ASK Y'ALL TO CONSIDER THAT THAT ONE MEETING THAT YOU MISSED AND DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT.

I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT IT, NO.

WAS THE WISE COUNTY JUDGE SUPPOSED TO CALL YOU? AND HE WAS TELL YOU ABOUT IT? HE WAS, AND HE DIDN'T.

HE DID NOT.

SO THAT'S WHY HE DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT IT.

THAT THAT'S WHY I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT IT.

I WAS NOT AWARE OF IT.

IT WAS NEWS TO ME WHERE I WOULD HAVE ABSOLUTELY GOTTEN TO THAT.

AND, AND NO REFLECTION ON JUDGE CLARK.

HE'S, THERE'S OBVIOUSLY, HE'S ON THE COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS.

I THINK HE'S THE PRESIDENT OF THE NACO, UM, AS WELL.

SO HE'S GOT HIS HANDS FULL.

AND I THINK WHAT'S HAPPENED IS HE'S JUST GOT HIS PLATE SO FULL THAT IT'S JUST BEEN A CHILD.

AND THAT'S WHY I'VE BEEN GOING TO MORE OF FAILED TO TELL YOU.

AND SO HE'S GONNA ROLL OFF OF THAT.

AND I THINK THE, THE INTENT OF THIS IS, IS TO HAVE A BETTER ROTATION OF THE COUNTIES THAT ARE INVOLVED AND THE ENTITIES THAT ARE INVOLVED IN WORKING WELL TOGETHER.

AND JUDGE CLARK AND I, WE DO WORK WELL TOGETHER.

AND IF IT'S JUST THAT ONE MEETING, UH, I DON'T THINK IT'S A BIG ISSUE, BUT I THINK THE MAIN THING IS WHEN YOU CAN'T GO TO LET YOUR ALTERNATE KNOW THAT.

SO THEY CAN GO.

SO THESE ARE EXCUSED ABSENCES.

SO JUDGE, UH, I'D ASK JUDGE CLARK, UH, WHEN HE ASSUMED THAT POSITION, IF HE WOULD GIVE US A REPORT EACH, EACH FROM EACH MEETING AND, UH, HAVEN'T, HAVEN'T RECEIVED THAT YET, TO MY KNOWLEDGE.

I KNOW, I KNOW.

UH, I, I WOULD ASK THAT, UH, IF YOU ARE THAT APPOINTMENT MM-HMM.

THAT YOU WOULD COMMIT TO GIVE US A REPORT OF THE MEETING TO JUST KIND OF LET US KNOW WHAT TRANSPIRES BECAUSE GO DATING BACK TO THE JUDGE BEFORE YOU I ASKED FOR THAT.

YOU KNOW, I THOUGHT WE HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ANY INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT GOES ON AT THOSE RTC MEETINGS.

IT'S INTERESTING YOU BRING THAT UP BECAUSE IT IS, I THOUGHT OF THAT WHEN WE'RE, WE'RE GOING THROUGH THIS, WHEN WE'RE SITTING THERE SPENDING, I MEAN, BILLIONS OF DOLLARS.

AND THE, THE GROWTH IS NOT JUST PARKER COUNTY, BUT THE, WE'RE GOING THROUGH SO MUCH.

UM, AND, AND CHAD, YOU KNOW, THIS, THAT, UH, THERE IS SO MUCH INVOLVED RIGHT NOW FROM OUR REGION ALL THE WAY OUT TO COLIN AND, AND EVEN FURTHER THE GROWTH RATES.

UH, WHAT I WILL, UH, COMMIT TO YOU IS A SUMMARY OF THAT MEETING AS WELL AS THE BACKUP MATERIAL AND DOCUMENTATION THAT YOU'LL GET.

THAT'S ALL THAT I ASK.

YOU GOT OR MOVE THAT WE APPOINT, UH, PAT DEAN AS OUR REPRESENTATIVE TO THE RTC MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER CONY.

[01:20:01]

AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR VOTE OF CONFIDENCE.

AND I'LL CERTAINLY DO THAT.

COMMISSIONER, IS CYNTHIA IN HERE? DID SHE LEAVE? STEP OUT.

UH, AND, AND, AND HELP ME WITH THAT AS WELL.

I MEAN, WHEN YOU'RE THERE, YOU KNOW, NOTES THAT ARE BEING DONE AND MAKING SURE THAT THEY SEE YOU, UH, HAS BEEN BIG.

OBVIOUSLY WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS WITH, WITH THE RELATIONSHIPS IN THAT ROOM ARE REALLY, REALLY GOOD WITH PARKER COUNTY.

AND SO MAKE SURE THAT WE SUMMARIZE THAT ADEQUATELY IN MAKING SURE THAT WE GIVE A THOROUGH REPORT TO THE COURT.

SO MOVE

[6.P. Discuss/Take action on selling a certain lot of land next to 1402 Linda Lane in Weatherford. (Commissioner Holt) ]

TO ITEM P.

DISCUSS, TAKE ACTION ON SELLING A CERTAIN LOT OF LAND NEXT TO 1402.

LINDA LANE IN WEATHERFORD TO COMMISSIONER HOLT.

SO I DON'T HAVE A GOOD DRAWING OF THIS AND I APOLOGIZE, BUT WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TWO THIRDS OF AN ACRE THAT SPLIT IN THE TWO TRIANGLE TRUNK CHUNKS NEXT TO A LOCAL LANDOWNER.

AND THIS IS WHERE RICK WILLIAMSON CAME THROUGH.

AND WHEN WE BOUGHT THE LAND FOR RICK WILLIAMSON, THE ROAD ITSELF IS CURVED, BUT WE DIDN'T NECESSARILY BUY IT PERFECTLY ALONG THOSE CURVES.

THERE'S SOME SPOTS WHERE IT'S A LITTLE BIT CHUNKY.

THIS, THIS RESIDENT SIMPLY WANTS TO PURCHASE, I BELIEVE IT'S ONE THIRD OF AN ACRE AND ONE THIRD OF AN ACRE ON EACH SIDE OF HER LOT.

AND I WANTED TO BRING THAT BEFORE THE COURT TO MENTION IT TO Y'ALL BEFORE WE MOVE FORWARD.

'CAUSE I HAVEN'T, I HAVEN'T DONE THIS BEFORE AND I WANTED TO MAKE SURE I'M NOT MISSING SOMETHING BEFORE I START TO MOVE AHEAD WITH IT.

IS THIS ON THE NEW SECTION OF LUKE? MM-HMM.

DID, DID WE HAVE SOMETHING BEFORE WHERE SOMEBODY WANTED TO BUY A PIECE THERE AND WE PUT IT OUT FOR BIDS AND THEN NO ONE BID ON IT? I, I THINK SO.

AND THAT BE SAME PROCESS HERE.

WE'D SURVEY IT, GET AN APPRAISAL, GET THE COURT, JESUS, TO SELL AND GET, UH, WE CAN GET IT, THEIR BID PROCESS OR AN AUCTION.

THE LANDS SMALL ENOUGH.

WE HAVE NO USE FOR IT AT THE PRECINCT.

IT'S NOT LIKE WE COULD OH, OKAY.

OTHER THAN THAT, ASK, IS THIS A PROPERTY WE USED FOR, LIKE, WHERE THE CONCRETE PLANT WAS SET UP DURING CONSTRUCTION OR MAYBE SOME STAGING? IT'S CLOSE TO, IT'S VERY CLOSE, BUT IT'S NOT THIS, IT'S NOT THE SAME THING.

NOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT IS A THIRD OF AN ACRE.

A THIRD OF AN ACRE.

THAT KIND OF TOUCHED JUST BIT.

BUT WE CAN'T USE IT AS IT'S RIGHT NOW.

ANY FEEDBACK OR I'D JUST SAY GET MORE INFORMATION, COME BACK WITH A DRAWING AND, AND THEN PROCEED THROUGH THE PROCESS.

SEE, IT'LL HAVE TO BE BID, RIGHT? IT'D BE, IT'D BE A BID, IT'D BE A SURVEY AND A, AN APPRAISAL.

AND THAT WOULD ESTABLISH THE FLOOR.

AND, AND BECAUSE WE CAN'T SELL ANYTHING LESS THAN APPRAISED VALUE, CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT.

TO ITEM R ON DISCUSS APPROVAL ELECTRONICALLY ATTACHING ALL EXHIBITS TO COMMISSIONER'S, COURT AND BUDGET MEETINGS, WORKSHOPS GIVEN PARKER COUNTY'S RECENT CIVIC PLUS UPGRADE AND ALSO PREPARE, DISTRIBUTE BUDGET PACKETS TO COMMISSIONER'S ELECTRONICALLY.

ANY OF THE DISCUSSION BEFORE WE VOTE? ALL IN FAVOR.

PASS FIVE OH,

[6.W. Approval of the Juvenile Board Order regarding the transportation of children that are subject to the jurisdiction of the juvenile court as regulated by statute and take any action the court deems necessary. (John Forrest / Judge Deen) ]

JOHN, THE JUVENILE BOARD HAS AUTHORITY TO CREATE AN ORDER REQUESTING THE SHERIFF TO TRANSPORT JUVENILES.

IF THAT ORDER IS PASSED, THEN IT COMES TO COMMISSIONER'S COURT FOR APPROVAL.

IF IT'S APPROVED, THEN AUTHORIZE AS A SHERIFF TO TRANSPORT JUVENILES.

AND, AND I BELIEVE WE, WE LOOKED AT A, ANOTHER TRANSPORT COMPANY.

HOWEVER, WITH THE RISK OR THE LIABILITY WITH JUVENILES, IT'S MORE PROPERLY LEFT WITH THE SHERIFF.

UH, HE PROBABLY DOES NEED ADDITIONAL FUNDING AS FAR AS, UH, VEHICLES TO TRANSPORT THOSE KIDS OR INDIVIDUALS, BUT I THINK THAT COST WILL BE OFFSET BY NOT UTILIZING A THIRD PARTY.

WHEN I HAVE OFFICERS ON THE ROAD THIS AMOUNT OF TIME, IT MAKES IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT, IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO DO THE JOB THAT THE STATE OF TEXAS REQUIRES THEM TO DO.

AGREED.

WHAT ARE WE DOING NOW? YEAH.

WHAT, HOW MUCH MONEY ARE WE TALKING ABOUT NOW? WHAT ARE WE DOING NOW? CURRENTLY? I THINK, UH, WELL THAT'S, AND ASHLEY CAN TALK ABOUT THIS, BUT I THINK WE'RE SOME OF THE JUVENILE, UH, PROBATION OFFICERS ARE TRANSPORTING SOME OF THESE KIDS AFTER WE HEAR FROM SHERIFF ER, ASH WILL COME UP AND SHE'LL KIND OF GO OVER THAT A LITTLE BIT.

COMMISSIONER THERE, THERE ARE CERTAIN TIMES THAT, YOU KNOW, THE, THE OFFICER WHO ARRESTS A KID OR TAKES THEM INTO CUSTODY, THEY'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TRANSPORT.

THAT AGENCY.

UH, THERE'S TIMES WHEN WE'RE RESPONSIBLE AND THERE'S OFTENTIMES WHEN JUVENILE PROBATION'S RESPONSIBLE, UH, THE ORDER BY THE COMM, UH, JUVENILE BOARD, IT'S, IT'S NOT A SUGGESTION IF THEY PASS THIS, WE'RE MANDATED TO DO MOST OF THESE.

AND OF COURSE, WE'RE NOT OPPOSED TO DOING IT.

WE'RE JUST, WE CAN'T DO IT WITHOUT THE FUNDING AND THE SUPPORT.

UH, THAT'S MANPOWER VEHICLES AND EVERYTHING ELSE THAT GOES WITH IT.

I THINK WE WOULD BE BEST SUITED TO DO THAT.

UH, BECAUSE IF WE'RE NOT DOING JUVENILE TRANSPORTS WITH OUR PEOPLE, WE CAN, WE CAN ALLOCATE THEM TO OTHER TRANSPORTS AND EXTRADITIONS AS WELL.

BUT, UH, WE, WE WOULD NEED THE EXTRA SUPPORT TO DO THAT.

OR IF JUVENILE PROBATION WANTS TO DO IT, WE WOULD SUPPORT THEM IN TRYING TO GET THEM EXTRA FUNDING AND EXTRA PEOPLE TO DO THEIR TRANSPORTS AS WELL.

SO YEAH.

WE UNDERSTAND IT'S A RESOURCE ISSUE FOR YOU.

IT IS.

AND SO THAT'LL BE ADDRESSED HERE.

AND, AND I, AND I KNOW, I KNOW ASHLEY, I I KNOW THEY'RE, IT'S A, IT'S, IT'S TOUGH FOR THEM TOO.

THEY'RE GETTING BUSIER AND BUSIER AND I MEAN, WE, WE DO HELP THEM WHEN WE CAN, WHEN WE GET SOME REQUESTS THAT ARE NOT IMMEDIATE, YOU KNOW, IF THEY'RE FOR THE NEXT WEEK OR WHATEVER.

OUR, OUR EXTRADITION PEOPLE, THEY'VE BEEN HANDLING SOME OF THOSE, BUT I, I KNOW THEY'RE STRAPPED AS WELL.

AND IT'S JUST, IT'S JUST A TOUGH THING.

IT'S JUST A, IT'S A NO WIN.

YOU WANT TO, ASHLEY, WOULD YOU LIKE TO, I I GUESS TO COMMISSIONER WALDEN'S COMMENT, WOULD YOU LIKE TO KIND OF GO THROUGH A LITTLE BIT OF THIS WITH INFORMATION THAT YOU'VE GOTTEN THAT WE DISCUSSED AT THE, AT THE BOARD MEETING? CERTAINLY.

SO IN ACCORDANCE WITH 52.026 C OF THE TEXAS FAMILY CODE, THIS IS WHERE THIS ORDER FROM THE JUVENILE BOARD IS COMING FROM, UM, FOR REVIEW OF JUST THE LIABILITY AND CONCERNS WITH OUR JUVENILE PROBATION OFFICERS, UM, DOING TRANSPORT.

SO UNLIKE ADULTS, ANYTIME A JUVENILE GOES TO COURT OR GOES TO A DETENTION HEARING AND THE JUVENILE IS PLACED IN CUSTODY, THE PROBATION DEPARTMENT IS CURRENTLY DOING THOSE TRANSPORTS.

I KNOW VERY SOON AFTER I CAME ON BOARD, UM, WE HAVE HAD MULTIPLE INCIDENCES, UM, THAT ARE CONCERNING FOR, UH, COMMUNITY SAFETY, JUVENILE SAFETY, AND, UH, OFFICER SAFETY, INCLUDING ME PERSONALLY TAKING ONE OF OUR VEHICLES, UM, UP TO A, UH, CAR WASH TO CLEAN OUT CLUMPS OF BLOOD THAT WERE IN THE BACK OF THE CAR AFTER THE TRANSPORT OF A JUVENILE.

JUST IN GIVING YOU AN IDEA OF THE NUMBER OF HOURS THAT MY OFFICERS ARE ON THE ROAD SOMETIMES, UM, THEY'RE NOT EVEN COMING IN UNTIL 11 O'CLOCK AT NIGHT AND MANY TIMES HAVE TO GET BACK UP AT FOUR 30 IN THE MORNING TO DO A TRANSPORT OR PICK UP A JUVENILE FOR COURT OR TRANSPORT IN BETWEEN, UM, FACILITIES.

SINCE AUGUST OF THIS YEAR, MY OFFICERS HAVE BEEN ON THE ROAD FOR 346 HOURS FOR A TOTAL OF 13,684 MILES SINCE OCTOBER FOR OUR FISCAL YEAR, MY OFFICERS HAVE BEEN ON THE ROAD 244 HOURS FOR A TOTAL OF 10,004 MILES.

THE PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITY OF JUVENILE PROBATION IS NOT TO BE A TRANSPORTING AGENCY.

UM, IT IS TO PROVIDE SUPERVISION AND RESOURCES TO THE JUVENILES TO ENSURE THAT WE ARE ADEQUATELY MEETING THEIR NEEDS AS WELL AS PROTECTING COMMUNITY SAFETY.

THERE ARE A VARIETY OF STATE STANDARDS AND STATE STATUTES THAT HAVE TO BE MET IN ACCORDANCE WITH VISITATION REQUIREMENTS, CONTACT REQUIREMENTS AND DOCUMENTATION REQUIREMENTS.

[01:30:01]

SO WE ARE REQUESTING THAT BECAUSE OF THE LIABILITY, BECAUSE OF THE, UH, CONCERNS.

UM, FOR LIABILITY FOR, UH, PARKER COUNTY AS A WHOLE, WE REQUESTED THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT AS LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENTS, UH, BE THE INDIVIDUALS DOING THESE TRANSPORTS.

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE LIABILITY OF, UH, ONE OF YOUR EMPLOYEES DOING THAT AND LIABILITY OF THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE? THEY ARE NOT LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS, AND SO THERE IS THAT TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT.

UM, THEY DO NOT HAVE THE APPROPRIATE TRAINING AND PROTOCOL.

IF THERE WAS A MAJOR ISSUE THAT WERE TO OCCUR IN THE COURSE OF TRANSPORT, THERE'S NO CAMERAS IN THOSE VEHICLES EITHER.

NO CAMERAS.

UM, THERE WAS ONLY ONE SECURED VEHICLE WHEN I CAME ON BOARD.

WE HAVE ANOTHER VEHICLE SECURED, BUT THERE IS AN EXTENSIVE DELAY IN BEING ABLE TO GET A NEW VEHICLE IN AND OR THE, UH, SECURITY, UH, PIECE OF, OF GETTING THOSE, UM, EVEN CAGED.

WHEN YOU'RE TRANSPORTING THESE JUVENILES, IS THAT JUST IN PARKER COUNTY? IS THAT O OVER THE WHOLE STATE OF TEXAS OR THE WHOLE UNITED STATES? UM, ALL OF TEXAS.

SO WE TRANSPORT TO, UM, ONE OF THE 20 DETENTION FACILITIES THAT WE HAVE CONTRACTS WITH AND OR THE NUMEROUS, UH, PLACEMENT FACILITIES THAT WE HAVE CONTRACTS WITH.

SO IT COULD BE ANYWHERE IN TEXAS? YES.

WHAT, WHAT DEGREE OF, UM, SAFETY MEASURES DO YOUR FOLKS HAVE WITH THEM? UM, IF THE JUVENILE WERE TO ATTEMPT TO ASSAULT THEM OR TAKE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT? WELL, WE, WE HAVE THE CAGE IN, UH, ONE OF THE VEHICLES.

UM, THE JUVENILES ARE SECURED IN HANDCUFFS AND SHACKLES, BUT OFFICERS ARE NOT PREPARED, MEANING, UM, THEY DO NOT CARRY, UH, ANY MEANS OF PERSONAL PROTECTION IF THEIR SAFETY WERE EVER AT RISK AND OR IF A JUVENILE ATTEMPTED TO TAKE, UH, CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND OR IF A JUVENILE ATTEMPTED TO EVEN RUN WHILE IN CUSTODY.

SO YOU HAVE THESE JUVENILES THAT YOU'RE TRANSPORTING.

WHAT'S THE FARTHEST THAT YOU CAN RECALL THAT A TRANSPORT HAS OCCURRED? UM, AMARILLO OKAY.

IS, IS THE FARTHEST WE TYPICALLY ARE OUR MAIN DETENTION FACILITIES THAT WERE DOING A MAJORITY OF OUR TRANSPORTS ARE COLLIN COUNTY, UM, GRAYSON COUNTY, UM, WICH, WICHITA COUNTY, AND DENTON COUNTY.

THOSE ARE, THOSE ARE THE MOST FREQUENTLY USED, UH, COUNTIES THAT WE ARE CURRENTLY USING.

UM, YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.

AND, AND SO YOU PROBABLY GOT SOME PIT STOPS ALONG THE WAY, AND I WOULD ASSUME THAT IF YOU DON'T HAVE SOMEONE WHO'S TRAINED AND DOESN'T HAVE PERSONAL PROTECTION WHILE THEY'RE TRANSPORTING THE JUVENILE INTO AND OUT OF THE FACILITIES TO USE THE RESTROOM AND WHATNOT, THAT'S PROBABLY A SECURITY RISK.

I WOULD, YES, YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.

MANY TIMES IT'S EVEN DIFFICULT TO FIND A LOCATION TO TAKE THEM TO USE THE RESTROOM.

WE LIKE TO TRY TO MAKE STOPS AT EITHER SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENTS OR POLICE DEPARTMENTS OR JUVENILE PROBATION DEPARTMENTS ALONG THE WAY WHEN AVAILABLE AND THEY WOULD ALLOW US TO STOP.

UM, BUT MANY TIMES, UM, YOU KNOW, WE ARE DOING THOSE, UH, TRANSPORTS WELL INTO THE EVENING HOURS AND, UH, WE HAVE TO, UH, STOP AT CONVENIENCE STORES, UM, OR ANY OTHER LOCATION THAT WOULD ALLOW US TO USE THE RESTROOM AND ESSENTIALLY HOPE FOR THE BEST.

SHERIFF, WHAT'S YOUR, WHAT'S YOUR PROJECTED, I MEAN, I, I KNOW THIS IS VERY FRESH AND SO YOU PROBABLY DON'T HAVE IT JUST DIALED DOWN A HUNDRED PERCENT.

AND IS THIS, IS THIS TWO ADDITIONAL DEPUTIES AND VEHICLES? EXACTLY.

TWO, TWO ADDITIONAL DEPUTIES AND TWO VEHICLES.

WHICH WOULD THEY, THEY WOULD NOT DO THAT 100% OF THE TIME, BUT AGAIN, WE COULD REPURPOSE THEM WITH OTHER TRANSPORT DUTIES AS WELL, WHICH MIGHT BE A LITTLE MORE DIFFICULT ON THE JUVENILE PROBATION SIDE TO DO THAT.

TO A FACILITY FROM THEIR HOME? OR CAN YOU SHED SOME LIGHT ON THAT FOR ME? CERTAINLY.

DO WE HAVE AN IDEA OF, OR THE, OF THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS', NUMBER OF JUVENILES THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THAT ARE BEING TRANS HAVE BEEN TRANSPORTED IN THE LAST, IN THIS BUDGET YEAR? UM, I CAN GET YOU THAT NUMBER.

I DON'T HAVE THAT OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD.

UM, I KNOW THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE 175, UH, JUVENILES THAT ARE CURRENTLY INVOLVED WITH THE PROBATION DEPARTMENT.

WE HAVE, UH, SEVEN THAT ARE CURRENTLY IN DETENTION, AND WE HAVE SEVEN THAT ARE CURRENTLY IN PLACEMENT FACILITIES.

BUT I CAN GET YOU A MORE SPECIFIC NUMBER OF THE ACTUAL NUMBER OF JUVENILES THAT WE HAVE TRANSPORTED IN THE COURSE THAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT, UH, IN, IN RESPECT TO HOURS AND MILES.

I WAS SPECIFIC TO THE NUMBER THAT, THAT HAVE BEEN TRANSPORTED IN THIS BUDGET YEAR.

I CAN CERTAINLY PROVIDE THAT FOR YOU.

SO ARE THESE, ARE THESE JUVENILES THAT WE'RE TRANSPORTING FROM FACILITY TO FACILITY OR THESE JUVENILES THAT ARE HAVING TO REPORT

[01:35:01]

SO, UH, TRANSPORT REQUIREMENTS, UM, RUN THE GAMUT OF EXPECTATIONS.

SO MANY TIMES THAT MAY BE US PICKING UP A JUVENILE FROM A DETENTION FACILITY, BRINGING THEM TO A COURT HEARING, AND THEN IF DETAINED, TRANSPORTING THEM BACK TO A DETENTION FACILITY.

THAT COULD ALSO MEAN US PICKING UP JUVENILES AND TRANSPORTING THEM TO PSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATIONS, MEDICAL EVALUATIONS, UM, AND VARIOUS, UH, ASSESSMENTS.

THAT COULD MEAN A JUVENILE GETTING KICKED OUT OF A FACILITY AND THEY GIVE US A VERY SMALL WINDOW OF TIME TO COME AND TAKE CUSTODY OF THAT JUVENILE AND TRANSPORT THEM TO ANOTHER FACILITY.

SO IT RUNS THE WHOLE GAMUT, UM, UH, OF, OF TAKING THOSE JUVENILES, UM, TO A DETENTION FACILITY ONCE THEY HAVE BEEN TAKEN INTO CUSTODY UNDER A DIRECTIVE TO APPREHEND OR UNDER A COURT'S ORDER.

SINCE WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUDGET YEAR, IS THERE ANY OTHER LINE THAT, THAT, UH, EITHER OF YOU WOULD HAVE THAT WOULD FACILITATE THE PURCHASE OF THE MANPOWER OR VEHICLES? I WAS THINKING SPECIFICALLY OF THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT WAS ALLOCATED TOWARD THE J-J-A-E-P THAT I DON'T BELIEVE HAS BEEN UTILIZED THUS FAR.

SO IN SPEAKING TO THE JJEP, WE ARE UP AND FUNCTIONING, UM, AND, AND PREPARING TO MAKE THOSE PURCHASES.

WE JUST, UM, HIRED A DIRECTOR THIS LAST YEAR.

I MEAN, EXCUSE ME, THIS LAST WEEK, UM, THIS LAST WEEK.

WE HAVE ALSO, UH, WORKED DILIGENTLY ON CREATING LINE ITEMS WITHIN THE BUDGET.

UM, SO WE CAN ANTICIPATE THOSE, UM, PURCHASES TO BEGIN PRETTY VIGOROUSLY AS WE PREPARE TO HAVE AN OPEN DATE OF AUGUST 14TH.

COUNSELOR, ARE WE MANDATED TO SUPPLY THIS? WELL, THE, THE COUNTY IS, YES.

AND, AND, AND ONE OF THE OTHER PROBLEMS, HOW MANY PROBATION OFFICERS, JUVENILE PROBATION OFFICERS TRANSPORT, IS IT SINGLE WITH A SINGLE INDIVIDUAL OR IS IT Y'ALL SEND TWO? WE SEND TWO WHEN WE, WHEN WE CAN.

AND MOST OF THE TIME WE SEND TWO, THE, THE OTHER PERSPECTIVE TO REMEMBER IS JUST THOSE OPPOSITE SEX TRANSPORTS.

WE'RE GONNA ALWAYS NEED TO HAVE AN INDIVIDUAL OF THE SAME SEX DURING THAT TRANSPORT.

AND, AND THE WAY THIS ORDER WORKS, THE, THE JUVENILE BOARD HAS, HAS PLACED THIS ORDER, THE COURT HAS TO APPROVE IT, AND THEN IT MANDATES THE SHERIFF.

BUT AT THE SAME TIME, YOU KNOW, HE WOULD GET FUNDED, GET BUDGETED FOR THAT PURPOSE.

BUT CURRENTLY, IF YOU HAVE TWO EMPLOYEES, I BELIEVE YOU WOULD ONLY USE ONE DEPUTY TO TRANSPORT A JUVENILE.

IT, IT, IT WOULD VARY, UH, DEPENDING ON A LOT OF FACTORS, YOU KNOW, THE OFFENSE AND AGAIN, WHETHER SAME SEX OR OPPOSITE SEX.

AND WHEN THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT HAS HELPED US PREVIOUSLY, THERE WERE MANY TIMES THAT I STILL HAD TO SEND AN OFFICER WITH THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT, UM, WHETHER IT BE OPPOSITE SEX OR CONCERNS, UM, BECAUSE OF HIGH RISK MENTAL HEALTH NEEDS AND OR HIGH AGGRESSION.

SO EVEN WHEN, UM, THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT WAS GOING, WE WERE STILL ASSISTING WITH, WITH PROVIDING AN OFFICER.

I, BACK TO MY POINT, I DON'T, I DON'T THINK THAT THE, AT ENTIRE AMOUNT OF THE MONEY ALLOCATED THIS YEAR TO THE JJAP CAN BE EXPENDED.

IT'S ALREADY THE YEAR, TWO THIRDS OF THE BUDGET YEARS, TWO THIRDS OF THE YEAR OVER.

SO YOUR POINT, IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THERE WOULD BE EXTRA MONEY THAT COULD BE AVAILABLE THERE.

I'M JUST SAYING THAT, THAT, YOU KNOW, IF WE GO TO CONTINGENCY EVERY, ON EVERY ITEM HERE FOR LONG, THERE'S NO CONTINGENCY LEFT REALITY.

COULD YOU COME UP AND SPEAK TO THEM? I BELIEVE, UM, HOW WE BUDGETED IT WAS TO FUND THAT BUDGET WAS A TRANSFER FROM THE GENERAL FUND.

AND SO IF WE DON'T EXPEND ALL THOSE FUNDS, THEN WE WON'T MOVE THAT ENTIRE AMOUNT FROM THE GENERAL FUND.

SO IT'S NOT THAT IT'S SITTING THERE IN THAT FUND, WE WILL ONLY TRANSFER FOR, YOU KNOW, THOSE EXPENDITURES.

THERE WAS A BUDGET AMOUNT.

THAT IS CORRECT, YES.

AND SO, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE ALL THE EXPENDITURES IN THAT FUND WITH A TRANSFER FROM THE GENERAL FUND.

SO JUST AS WE DO, UM, YOU KNOW, ADULT AND JUVENILE PROBATION WITH THOSE TRANSFERS FOR THE COUNTY FUNDED PORTION, WE ONLY TRANSFER WHAT THEY ACTUALLY EXPENDED.

SO WE WILL DO THE SAME THING.

SO ANY ADDITIONAL FUNDING THAT WAS BUDGETED, UM, THAT'S NOT USED THIS YEAR, WE'LL ROLL BACK INTO THE GENERAL FUND FUND BALANCE, YOUR HONOR.

WAS THERE, THERE IS SOME FUNDING IN A LINE PROBABLY FOR TRANSPORT CURRENTLY.

I MEAN, IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT JUST OBVIOUSLY, YOU KNOW, THERE'S ADDITIONAL FUNDING I WOULD SAY IN, UM, THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE LIKE SALARY LINES AND FOR VACANT CURRENT VACANT POSITIONS, DO WE HAVE A PROJECTION OF ASHLEY? YOU SAID THAT Y'ALL HIRED A DIRECTOR? YES, SIR.

UM, COLLABORATION WE CAN COME TO.

AND YOU'VE GOT SOME OTHER, UM, IT SOUNDED LIKE YOU HAD SEVERAL OTHER EXPENSES THAT MAY NOT BE ACTUALLY ENCUMBERED YET, BUT WERE TEED UP.

ABSOLUTELY.

DO YOU HAVE ANY GUESS AS TO WHAT YOU THINK YOU'LL END THE YEAR AT FROM THAT J-J-A-E-P FUND? WE DO HAVE A SCHEDULED MEETING WITH THE SUPERINTENDENTS ON JUNE THE 13TH.

THAT IS THE TIME WHEN WE WILL DISCUSS THE MOU AND SEE WHAT,

[01:40:01]

'CAUSE WHAT OUR BIGGEST EXPENSE WAS OBVIOUSLY, UM, FOR, UH, TEACHERS OF AND OF THE LIKE, SO, UM, IT, I'M CURIOUS TO SEE WHERE WE LAND ON JUNE THE 13TH.

THERE'S BEEN SEVERAL CONVERSATIONS AND WILLINGNESS, UH, SPECIFICALLY FROM WEATHERFORD ISD AND ALITO ISD TO PROVIDE SOME ASSISTANCE ON THE UPKEEP, UH, UPSTART AS WELL AS SOME CLASSROOMS. UM, WE WILL HAVE TO MAKE PURCHASES IN RELATION TO FURNITURE LINE ITEMS LIKE THAT.

I, UM, TO GIVE YOU A ESTIMATE, UM, I WOULD NOT WANT TO MISSPEAK, BUT OUR, AGAIN, OUR BIGGEST LINE ITEMS ARE GONNA BE FOR THE COST OF THOSE TEACHERS INFRINGE BENEFITS.

SO IF WE CAN GET THAT SUPPORT FROM OUR SCHOOLS IN PROVIDING ASSISTANCE WITH THAT, UM, I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT WE WILL, UH, HAVE MONEY, UM, REMAINING IN THAT, UH, INITIAL PROJECTED WELL AS A BOARD MEMBER ON THERE.

IT, IT REALLY, WE DON'T KNOW TO THE EXTENT YET WHAT THE PARTICIPATION IS GONNA BE, WHETHER IT'S GONNA BE FULL PARTICIPATION FROM ALL THE, THE ISDS.

SO THAT'S GONNA BE AN IMPOSSIBLE QUESTION TO ANSWER UNTIL WE GET DOWN TO IT.

AND THEN THEY START.

AND I THINK, I THINK THEY'RE ALL GRATEFUL THAT WE'RE DOING THIS AND WE'RE MOVING AT THE RATE WE'RE MOVING AT.

AND SO I, I WOULD EXPECT THAT, UH, A MAJORITY OF THESE ISDS ARE GONNA STEP UP AND, AND CONTRIBUTE, UH, TO AN EXTENT BECAUSE IT'S A TEAM EFFORT AND WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER.

AND SO I THINK THAT, THAT A LOT OF THE EXPENSES, UH, PROBABLY WON'T BE INCURRED, UH, BECAUSE OF THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS THAT THEY'RE GONNA MAKE.

AND WE WON'T KNOW THAT UNTIL WE GET DOWN TO THAT POINT.

SO WHERE, WHERE'S THE MEETING GONNA BE? UH, UM, IT'S GOING TO BE AT WEATHERFORD HIGH SCHOOL IN THE BOARDROOM.

AT WHAT TIME? TWO O'CLOCK.

I THINK THERE WAS ANOTHER, Y'ALL HELP REFRESH MY MEMORY, BUT I THINK REGARDING THAT BUDGET LINE, WE HAD ASKED FOR A REPORT WHEN THERE WAS A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF THAT BUDGET WAS SPENT OR AN UPDATE.

DO YOU REMEMBER? DOES ANYBODY ELSE REMEMBER THAT? YES.

YOUR REMEMBER THE QUESTION, BUT I DO TOO.

I WAS JUST SAYING SINCE THEY WERE JUST HIRED LAST WEEK, WE WOULDN'T HAVE ANY ACTUAL DO WILL FOR THE NEXT PAYROLL.

IT'S REALLY BEEN IN THE PLANNING STAGES OF GETTING THESE PIECES PUT TOGETHER AND BRINGING ON THAT DIRECTOR.

AND NOW IT WILL START MOVING AND PROGRESSING TO, TO YOUR POINT THAT THAT SUMMARY WILL COME.

UM, BUT WE JUST HAVEN'T BEEN TO THAT POINT WHERE WE'VE INCURRED THOSE EXPENSES.

REALLY ALLOWING THE FOUNDATION FOR THIS IS REALLY, WOULDN'T YOU SAY? ABSOLUTELY.

AND AS WELL, UM, UH, JUDGE JOHNSON JUST MOVED OUT OF THAT, THAT LOCATION, UM, AT THE JJP SITE THIS LAST WEEK.

UM, AND SO I HAVE WALKED THROUGH WITH MARK LONG AND, UM, WE HAVE LOOKED AT SOME SLIGHT BUILDING MODIFICATIONS THAT NEED TO OCCUR JUST FOR SAFETY, UM, AND SECURITY.

BUT WE HAVE NOT EVEN BEEN IN A PLACE YET WHERE WE HAVE BEGAN TO MAKE THOSE PURCHASES OTHER THAN CREATE AN ITEMIZED LIST OF WHAT OUR NEEDS WILL BE.

UM, AGAIN, THE JUVENILE, UH, JJP DIRECTOR WILL COME ON BOARD WITH US AT THE PROBATION DEPARTMENT ON JUNE 3RD, AND WE WILL MOVE VIGOROUSLY AT THAT POINT.

UH, TO BEGIN, UH, PREPARING FOR THE OPENING OF THE JJAP.

QUESTION FOR YOU, SHERIFF, WERE ANY OF THE DEPUTIES THAT WE APPROVED LAST YEAR, WERE ANY OF THEM INTENDED FOR THIS PURPOSE? I SEEM TO RECALL SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES, BUT I, NOT FOR JUVENILE OR NO.

SO, OKAY.

IF WE WERE TO, UM, SECURE THE FUNDING TO, FOR THE REMAINDER OF THIS CALENDAR YEAR, WOULD YOU, UH, WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE THAT WITH ONE VEHICLE AND ONE DEPUTY FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE YEAR? OR IS THAT SOMETHING THAT'S GONNA REQUIRE TWO VEHICLES AND TWO DEPUTIES IMMEDIATELY? IF WE SAW THE LIGHT AT THE END OF TUNNEL, WE WOULD MAKE IT HAPPEN WITH ONE, UH, FOR THE REMAINDER OF THIS YEAR.

WE WOULD HAVE TO DO THAT AS WELL.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS? I'VE MADE THE MOTION FOR APPROVAL ON THIS.

UM, AS PER THE STATUTE THAT REQUIRES THIS, UH, IT HAS BEEN PASSED BY THE JUVENILE BOARD.

UH, AND SO WE'RE, UH, WE'RE NOW AT THAT POINT NOW, UH, AS, UH, OUR COUNTY ATTORNEY HAS SAID, YOU KNOW, IT'S MANDATED BY THE COURT IF IT'S APPROVED BY THE, UH, THE JUVENILE BOARD.

SO, UH, IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON THIS? AGAIN, THERE IS A MOTION I ENOUGH INFORMATION ABOUT WHERE THE MONEY'S GONNA COME FROM TODAY TO, TO MAKE A DECISION ON THAT.

UH, CAN I SAY ONE OR MORE THING ON THE ORDER? IF, IF Y'ALL PASS THAT ORDER, IT, IT'S MANDATED UPON US TO DO THIS? MM-HMM.

, UH, WE WILL DO THIS WITHOUT THE ORDER BECAUSE THAT WOULD STILL MAKE IT INCUMBENT UPON SOME OTHER LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES TO DO THEIR OWN TRANSPORTS WHEN THEY TAKE A JUVENILE INTO CUSTODY WITH THIS ORDER.

IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING, IF IT'S OUTTA COUNTY, THAT

[01:45:01]

SO WE WILL DO IT WITHOUT THE ORDER ONCE WE'RE GIVEN THE RESOURCES.

COUNSELOR, DO WE, DO WE HAVE THE OPTION OF HOLDING OFF ON THAT ORDER THEN? AND WHY, WHY, WHY? IF IT'S MANDATED, WHY ARE WE VOTING ON IT? IT SAYS THE APPROVED THE JUVENILE BOARD ORDER, IT'S, IT'S NOT MANDATED.

SO I THINK YOU KIND OF GOT IT INVERTED.

SO THE JUVENILE BOARD ORDERED IT, THAT JUST PUTS THAT ORDER IN PLACE.

Y'ALL HAVE TO APPROVE IT THEIR ORDER.

SO IT'S A RECOMMENDATION.

IT'S, UH, WELL, IT'S AN ORDER FROM THE JUVENILE BOARD AND THE COURT CAN ADOPT THAT IF YOU CHOOSE TO DO SO.

WELL, I, I RECOGNIZE WHAT THEY'RE, WHAT THE SITUATION IS WITHOUT A DOUBT.

UH, THE TRANSPORTATION OF THOSE INDIVIDUALS IS, IS, IS A RISKY DEAL.

I I, MY, MY HEARTBURN IS HOW TO PAY FOR IT AS IT IS WITH EVERYTHING ELSE IN MID BUDGETT YEAR.

UH, IF WE'RE LOOKING AT SOMETHING FOR NEXT BUDGET YEAR, IF WE'RE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING THAT WE CAN MOVE FROM ANOTHER BUDGET ITEM, UH, FROM ANOTHER BUDGET LINE, UH, THEN, THEN WE FIGURE OUT HOW TO PAY FOR IT.

BUT IF, IF EVERY ITEM THAT WE HAVE HAS TO BE PAID FOR OUT OF CONTINGENCY, THEN THERE'S NO POINT IN ANYBODY DOING A BUDGET.

I MEAN, I'M, I MAY COME ALONG, UH, NEXT WEEK AND SAY, WELL, YOU KNOW, IT'S BEEN RAINING A LOT OUT HERE AT PRECINCT THREE AND THE WAR, WE, WE, WE DIDN'T BUDGET FOR THAT.

SO NOW I NEED MORE MONEY.

I DO RECALL ON THE TRANSPORT DEPUTY THAT WAS APPROVED, IT WAS SENT IN LATER ON AND IN.

IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE INCREASE IN JUVENILE TRANSPORTS.

I KNOW WHEN THERE WAS A REQUEST FOR THE TRANSPORT DEPUTY IN LAST YEAR'S BUDGET.

AND, AND THE, THE MAIN ISSUE WITH THIS IS IF WE HAVE A THIRD PARTY, AND THAT WAS ONE CONTRACT WE'RE LOOKING AT, MM-HMM.

PROBABLY NOT THE BEST OPTION, RIGHT? BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY IF A CHILD GETS IN A VEHICLE AND WE HAVEN'T VETTED THE INDIVIDUAL THAT IS TRANSPORTING A THIRD PARTY DID, IT'S GONNA CREATE A LOT OF LIABILITY FOR THE COUNTY.

SO REALLY THE ONLY OPTIONS AT THIS POINT IS THE SHERIFF'S DEPUTY OR, OR JUVENILE PROBATION OFFICERS.

BUT ONCE AGAIN, THEY'RE NOT, THEY DON'T HAVE A CAMERA, THEY DON'T HAVE A BODY CAMERA OR A CAMERA IN CAR.

I RECOGNIZE THAT.

BUT, BUT THOSE ARE THE ONLY TWO OPTIONS.

WELL, I, I RECOGNIZE THAT HOWEVER, IT, IT'S NOT BROUGHT TO US IN, IN PRIOR TO A BUDGET.

IT'S NOT, IT'S BROUGHT TO US IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUDGET YEAR THAT WE HAVE AN EMERGENCY HERE THAT WE'VE GOT TO, TO HANDLE THIS PROBLEM AND FIND MORE MONEY DURING THE MIDDLE OF A BUDGET CYCLE.

AGAIN, IF WE HAD THE MONEY SITTING HERE, IF WE'RE DISCUSSING BUDGET FOR NEXT YEAR, BUT I RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM, BUT ONCE AGAIN, WE HAVE AN EMERGENCY SITUATION BEING BROUGHT TO US WITHOUT THE FUNDING TO PAY FOR IT OTHER THAN GENERAL FUND OR CONTINGENCY.

THAT'S WHY I WAS ASKING IF IT COULD BE MOVED FROM A DIFFERENT, UH, LINE ITEM WITHIN THE BUDGET.

THAT'S, THAT'S MONEY THAT'S ALREADY ALLOCATED.

ASHLEY, DO Y'ALL, DO Y'ALL HAVE A LINE FOR TRANSPORT? UM, WE SPECIFICALLY, I INCLUDED IN THIS LAST YEAR'S BUDGET, A $10,000 CONTINGENCY LINE, UM, TO ASSIST WITH TRANSPORTS.

UM, AND THAT WAS TO LOOK AT POTENTIAL OFF-DUTY POLICE OFFICERS AND THE LIKE, WHICH I HAVE SPOKEN TO.

AND, AND THEY DON'T REALLY EXPRESS ANY INTEREST.

SO WE DO HAVE $10,000 IN A LINE ITEM THAT CAN BE MOVED OVER FOR THAT SUPPORT.

IN REFERENCE TO THIS NOT BEING, THIS REQUEST NOT BEING MADE LAST BUDGET YEAR, IT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT HAD REQUESTED A, UM, INDIVIDUAL THAT WOULD ASSIST WITH JUVENILE TRANSPORT.

SO THAT IS WHY THE PROBATION DEPARTMENT DID NOT SPECIFICALLY MAKE THAT REQUEST FOR AN INDIVIDUAL.

AND WE APPROVED THAT, DID WE? AND, AND WE ARE ASSISTING WITH JUVENILE TRANSPORT.

IT'S JUST NOT ALL JUVENILE TRANSPORTS.

SO, BRIANNA, QUICK QUESTION FOR YOU.

WE HAD THE ISSUE EARLIER WITH THE NO IN PULL PADS.

, HOW MANY OTHER TIMES HAVE WE PULLED FROM CONTINGENCY THIS YEAR, THIS BUDGET CYCLE? PROBABLY THREE OR FOUR.

WE HAD THE, UM, INCREASED APPRAISALS FOR COLLECTIONS WITH PCAD.

UM, THAT WAS ONE, UH, WE WERE WORKING OFF PROJECTIONS FOR OUR INSURANCE PROPERTY AND ALL OF THAT.

AND SO WE BUDGETED BASED OFF OF WHAT TAC HAD PROVIDED.

SO THAT WAS AN INCREASE, THOSE TWO AND UM, FOR THE BRAZOS BASH FOR THAT MATCH THAT WASN'T BUDGETED PREVIOUSLY.

UM, AND SO WE BUDGETED THAT THAT WILL COME BACK AGAIN ASSUMING THAT THE, YOU KNOW, IT'S, IT'S APPROVED BY THE STATE, THAT MATCH WILL COME BACK.

UM, THERE MAY HAVE BEEN ANOTHER ONE, BUT THOSE ARE THE ONES OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD.

AND I, I THINK WHAT I'M TRYING TO, TO DIAL IN ON IS I'M, I'M VERY SUPPORTIVE OF COMMISSIONER WALDEN'S POINT THAT IF WE PULL FROM CONTINGENCY AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN, THAT'S REALLY NOT THE POINT OF CONTINGENCY.

AND YOU, YOU'RE GONNA GET IN AN UNHEALTHY FINANCIAL

[01:50:01]

POSITION.

I GUESS MY QUESTION ON THIS SPECIFIC ITEM IS I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE BODILY, UH, OR THE THREAT OF BODILY HARM FOR THE TRANSPORTING OF THE JUVENILES BECAUSE THESE ARE, THESE ARE, UH, THESE ARE YOUNG FOLKS WHO HAVE MADE DECISIONS WHICH INDICATE WE PROBABLY NEED TO BE PRETTY CAREFUL AROUND THEM, IF THAT'S FAIR.

UM, IS OUR CONTINGENCY STILL IN A HEALTHY POSITION IF WE WERE TO CHOOSE TO FUND THIS VIA CONTINGENCY? THAT'S WHAT I WAS GONNA ASK.

'CAUSE DO YOU KNOW ROUGH THAT BALANCE OF THAT? YES.

I BELIEVE, I BELIEVE IT'S CLOSE TO LIKE 1.8.

I COULD BE WRONG, BUT I RECALL THE LAST TIME I LOOKED AT THAT.

THAT'S, I THINK THAT'S WHERE IT WAS THAT.

AND SO AT LEAST NORTH OF ONE AND A HALF, EVEN ACCOUNTING FOR TODAY'S, UH, ELECTION DISCUSSION.

AND THEN IF WE CHOOSE TO FUND FOR THIS VIA CONTINGENCY, WE ARE TWO THIRDS OF THE WAY THROUGH THE BUDGET YEAR.

FROM YOUR PERSPECTIVE AND YOUR EXPERTISE, ARE YOU COMFORTABLE WITH THAT? DO YOU STILL FEEL LIKE WE'RE IN A COMFORTABLE POSITION OR DOES THAT MAKE YOU REALLY NERVOUS? NO, I MEAN, I THINK THAT'S A COMFORTABLE POSITION.

I MEAN, AGAIN, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT, BUT IF THERE WAS SOMETHING WHERE IT WAS A, YOU KNOW, A, A TRUE EMERGENCY WHERE THERE'S A PUBLIC HEALTH RISK, YOU KNOW, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT HOW YOU PULL FROM FUND BALANCE.

SO, YOU KNOW, THERE'S ALWAYS THAT IF THERE WERE SOMETHING, YOU KNOW, OF THAT MAGNITUDE THAT COULDN'T, YOU KNOW, WAIT, SO I, I DO BELIEVE THAT YES, THIS, WE WOULD STILL BE COMFORTABLE, UM, TO BE ABLE TO, TO FUND THIS REQUEST FROM CONTINGENCY.

AND AGAIN, IF YOU KNOW THAT 10,000 THAT WAS BUDGETED FOR TRANSPORT, IF, YOU KNOW, A THIRD PARTY WAS USED, AGAIN, IF WE DON'T UTILIZE THOSE FUNDS, ONE 90 IS THE, UM, COUNTY FUNDED PORTION OF JUVENILE PROBATION.

SO IF THAT'S NOT USED AGAIN, THAT WOULD GO BACK INTO THE GENERAL FUND SINCE WE WOULDN'T TRANSFER THAT FULL AMOUNT.

IT TEMPORARILY AND THEN COME WE, IT'S, UH, IT'S INCUMBENT UPON US FROM THE DAY YOU APPROVE IT, THEN I DON'T KNOW THAT YOU CAN GO BACK.

I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY QUESTION THAT ANYBODY HAS ABOUT THE, THE, THE ISSUE.

ASHLEY, I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY PROBLEM THERE.

IT, IT BECOMES ONE OF, UH, HOW TO PAY FOR IT JUST LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE.

AND, UH, THAT'S, THAT'S THE ONLY POINT THAT I HAVE.

I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANYBODY SITTING UP HERE THAT WOULD WANT TO TRANSPORT ONE OF THOSE INDIVIDUALS.

THANKS, SIR.

PRETTY SURE DIDN'T POLL EVERYBODY, BUT IT'S JUST AN UNOFFICIAL POLL HERE.

I DON'T THINK ANYBODY WANTS TO DO THAT.

THE, THE, THE PROBLEM IS MID-BUDGET YEAR.

HOW DO WE PAY FOR IT? AND, UH, I I I, MY OPINION IS THAT WE CAN APPROVE THE ORDER AND FIGURE OUT HOW WE'RE GOING TO PAY FOR IT WHEN WE GET MORE INFORMATION.

AND SO THAT'S WHAT I'M GONNA SUGGEST THAT WE DO.

THAT WE APPROVE THE ORDER, WHICH LUMPS IT OVER ON THE POOR SHERIFF OVER HERE TO DO THAT.

IT'S MANDATED AT THAT POINT THAT WE, IT'S MANDATED THAT WE DO IT AND THEN WE GET NUMBERS SO THAT WE CAN FIGURE OUT HOW BEST TO PAY FOR IT.

AND WE DON'T HAVE TO DO THAT TODAY.

UH, WE CAN LOOK AT, UH, WE CAN DO A LITTLE BIT MORE RESEARCH INTO BUDGET ITEMS HERE INTO WHERE OUR BUDGET LINES THAT WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO PULL SOME MONEY FROM AND AS A LAST RESORT THEN COME BACK TO CONTINGENCY.

BECAUSE I THINK RELYING ON THIS CONTINGENCY BECOMES, BECOMES A CRUTCH.

AND, AND, UH, THAT WE, WE USE THAT CRUTCH OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

SAME THING WITH THE POLE PAD.

IT'S JUST FYI I'M NOT OPPOSED TO THE, THE PURCHASE OF THOSE.

IT'S HOW WE PAY FOR 'EM.

AND IF WE, IF WE BEGIN TO SAY, WELL, YOU KNOW, I CAN JUST, JUST ASK THE COURT TO PAY FOR IT.

UH, WHEN I FIRST CAME ON COURT, THAT WAS A FLAT, NO COMMISSIONER CONLEY, THAT WAS A FLAT, NO, THAT DID NOT OCCUR.

A MID-BUDGET YEAR REQUEST FOR WHATEVER.

UH, AND I JUST SAY THAT WE'RE GOING TO MAINTAIN THE INTEGRITY OF A BUDGET PROCESS AND THE INTEGRITY OF, OF OUR SYSTEM HERE OF APPROVING THINGS.

THEN YOU GET THOSE APPROVED DURING THE BUDGET PROCESS AND THEN YOU LIVE WITH IT BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT WE DO AS PRECINCTS.

SO I KNOW THERE, THERE ARE DIFFERENT SITUATIONS, BUT YOU KNOW, I I, QUESTIONS COME TO MIND.

WHY IS IT JUST NOW BECOME AN ISSUE? OBVIOUSLY YOU HAD AN EVENT PROBABLY THAT PROBABLY PROMPTED THIS, UH, SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN THAT WAY TO BEGIN WITH, I'M SURE.

SHOULD HAVE BEEN BEING HANDLED DIFFERENTLY.

SO THAT'S MY POSITION AND THAT'S WHY I'M TALKING ABOUT TAKING THAT POSITION.

THERE'S NOTHING, I'M NOT OPPOSED TO LAW ENFORCEMENT FOLKS IN THE APPROPRIATE VEHICLE BEING UTILIZED TO MAKE THESE TRANSPORTS.

I THINK THAT'S WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE.

LET'S, LET'S, UM, AGAIN, MY POSITION IS APPROVE THE ORDER, LUMP IT ON HIM FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS HERE, DO A LITTLE MORE RESEARCH.

SEE IF, I MEAN, UM, DO WE NOT HAVE WE HAVE OTHER LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES IN THE COUNTIES WHO ARE MAKING TRANSPORTS OF MENTAL PATIENTS, FOR EXAMPLE, I THINK.

I MEAN, I MEAN, WHEN YOU HAVE ONE, DO THEY, DOES CONSTABLE TWO MAKE THOSE? UH, NOT IF THEY DO THE ARREST AND THEY DO THE COMMITMENT RIGHT AT THAT POINT IN TIME, THE DETENTION THERE, IT'S INCUMBENT UPON THEM.

IF IT GOES THROUGH MHMR, THEN IT'S INCUMBENT UPON US.

I SEE.

LIKE THIS ORDER THOUGH, IF YOU APPROVE

[01:55:01]

BUT MHMR PAYS US TO DO THOSE YEAH.

A CONTRACT.

SO, SO IF WE'RE APPROXIMATELY TWO THIRDS THROUGH THE, THE FISCAL YEAR, WE'RE LOOKING AT AN, AN OFFICER AND, AND THE EQUIPMENT, I DON'T KNOW THE COST OR LINE ITEM FOR THIS TRANSPORT LEVEL, BUT A THIRD OF THAT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE AN IDEA OF THE OVERALL BUDGET, A THIRD OF THAT TO ALLOCATE TOWARDS THIS THROUGH THE END OF THIS BEFORE WE BUDGET FOR NEXT YEAR.

ABSOLUTELY.

AND I MEAN THAT, THAT WOULD HELP US GET, HAVE AN IDEA OF WHAT, WHAT WE NEED FOR WHEN WE'RE LOOKING TO FIND THE RESOURCES.

IF, IF WE CAN GET THOSE BUDGETED PEOPLE AND RESOURCES FOR THE NEXT BUDGET STARTING OCTOBER ONE.

I CAN DO EVERYTHING I CAN BETWEEN THIS DATE FORWARD TO OCTOBER ONE.

TO MAKE THESE TRANSPORTS HAPPEN THE BEST WE CAN.

WE'RE STILL GONNA NEED THE HELP OF JUVENILE PROBATION, BUT, UH, WE'RE, WE'RE GONNA GET SOME HELP.

OUR SROS WILL BE OUTTA SCHOOL HERE PRETTY QUICK.

A LOT OF TIMES THEY COME IN AND THEY HELP IT WITH TRANSPORT ANYWAY.

UM, OKAY.

SO THAT'LL GIVE US SOME RELIEF.

HOPEFULLY GIVE SOME JUVENILE PROBATION RELIEF, WHICH WON'T BE ANY ADDITIONAL FUNDING AT THAT POINT.

WE'LL JUST, UH, REFOCUS THOSE FOLKS FOR THE TIME BEING.

UH, IT'S JUST, IT'S SOMETHING WE CANNOT SUSTAIN.

INDEFINITELY.

BUT WE WILL DO EVERYTHING WE CAN.

WELL, I GOT A QUESTION FROM BRIANNA LAST YEAR AT BUDGET TIME, DIDN'T WE BUDGET, UH, SOME GUY FROM JP TWO? DIDN'T WE GIVE HIM A $20,000 RAISE TO HELP TRANSPORT JUVENILES? THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS GOING ON.

REMOVALS, I THINK FROM COUNTY ATTORNEY ASSISTING WITH THOSE.

JOHN CAN PROBABLY PROVIDE MORE DETAIL THERE, BUT DID, DID WE NOT? YEAH.

AND IT WAS THE JP TWO THAT, THAT I THINK WAS MENTAL CONSTABLE TWO.

SO WE DID GIVE THAT GUY MONEY TO, TO TRANSPORT THE JUVENILES, NOT JUVENILES.

IT WAS MENTAL HEALTH MENTALS MENTAL, MENTAL, MENTAL, MENTAL PLACE.

I'M GONNA SUGGEST THAT WE, UH, THAT WE MOVE FORWARD AND, AND APPROVE THE ORDER, LUMP IT ON THE SHERIFF, FIGURE OUT HOW WE'RE GONNA PAY FOR THIS AT ANOTHER COURT.

I I WAS GONNA TELL AFTER WE GET MORE INFORMATION RIGHT, I WAS GONNA TELL GEORGE THAT THAT INDIVIDUAL TRANSFERRED OUTTA THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE IS WHY THAT THAT OCCURRED.

OH, OKAY.

SO THAT INDIVIDUAL TRANSFERRED FROM THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE OVER TO THE CONSTABLE OF, OF PRECINCT TWO.

AND SO IN THAT HE WAS DOING THAT POSITION WHILE HE WAS AT THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE, TRANSPORTING METALS, THERE WAS AN ADDITIONAL POSITION ADDED, AND THEN THE PERSON TRANSFERRED TO THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE, TO THE HOSPITAL OFFICE, ADDITIONAL .

SO JUDGE, I THINK YOU MADE A MOTION TO APPROVE THIS.

I DID.

AND I'LL SECOND IT.

I'M GONNA SECOND IT THAT, THAT WE APPROVE THE ORDER.

I THINK I ALREADY DID.

COMMISSIONER HOLD MAY HAS MADE THE SECOND ALREADY.

MINE, MINE LOOKS DIFFERENT.

SO YEAH, HERE IT IS.

SO WE'LL HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

I, I'M GONNA, I'M GONNA SUGGEST THAT WE APPROVE THE ORDER AND, AND LOOK AT FUNDING AFTER WE GET MORE INFORMATION.

BECAUSE AS LONG AS WE MEET THE, THE NEED, I THINK THAT, I THINK AT THE END OF THE DAY, THAT'S REALLY THE MAIN THING HERE.

AND I'M, I'M LISTENING AND I DON'T DISAGREE WITH HOW THE FUNDING AND WHAT LINE ITEM OR HOW WE'RE GONNA DO THAT, BUT ONE WAY OR ANOTHER, WE'RE GONNA, WE'RE GONNA END UP MEETING THAT NEED AS LONG AS WE'RE DOING THAT AND, AND PUTTING THESE, UH, BOTH THE, THE, THE, THE KIDS AND THE OFFICER, ESPECIALLY THE OFFICER, UH, IN A SAFE ENVIRONMENT, YOU KNOW, AS LONG AS WE'RE DOING THAT, IT REALLY DOESN'T MATTER.

YOU KNOW, I, UM, WE CAN DO THAT AND CERTAINLY IN, IN AGREEMENT WITH THAT BECAUSE WE'RE GONNA MEET THAT NEED ANYWAY, AS LONG Y'ALL ARE WORKING TOGETHER ON THIS.

AND I THINK THAT'S GREAT THAT YOU'RE, YOU KNOW, ONE, SOMETIME IT MAY BE ONE OF YOUR TEAM DOING IT AND THEN AN OFFICER GOING.

AND, UH, AS LONG AS YOU'RE WORKING AND COLLABORATING TOGETHER AND MEETING THAT NEED, I THINK THIS, THIS OTHER IS GOING, AND WE CAN CERTAINLY DO THAT WITHOUT THE ORDER.

THAT ORDER WILL BE INCUMBENT UPON US TO DO ADDITIONAL TRANSPORTS AS WELL FROM THESE OTHER POLICE AGENCIES, NOT, NOT JUVENILE TRANSPORT.

UNDERSTOOD.

IT.

IT WOULD BE FAR MORE REACHING RIGHT.

THAN JUST DID SO UNDERSTOOD.

AGAIN, I AM OPPOSED TO ADOPTING THIS ORDER.

WE HAVE A MOTION THEN? YES, SIR.

AND WE HAVE A MOTION THEN A SECOND.

UH, IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? YES.

WELL, YEAH, THERE IS.

I FIGURED THERE WOULD BE.

ANY JUVENILE TRANSPORT IF WEATHERFORD PD PICKED UP A JUVENILE AND THEY HAD TO TAKE HIM TO COLLIN COUNTY.

WHO'S GONNA FIGURE OUT WHERE THIS MONEY'S COMING FROM? NO, NO, WE'RE NOT PAYING.

WE'RE WE'RE, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE ORDER NOW.

EXPLAIN YOUR POSITION, PLEASE, SIR.

THE ORDER WOULD MANDATE US PICKING UP

[02:00:01]

THEY, THEY DON'T DO THAT IN THIS ORDER.

THEY CALL US AND WE'RE INCUMBENT UPON DOING THAT RIGHT THERE AT THAT MOMENT.

AND THAT'S WHAT, WHAT WE'RE VOTING ON RIGHT NOW, APPARENTLY.

SO THIS ORDER NOW, BASED ON OUR DISCUSSIONS, WE WILL HELP.

AND I THINK WITHOUT THE ORDER, WE CAN STILL GET IT DONE FOR THE REMAINDER OF THIS FISCAL YEAR WITH KNOWING THAT SOME HELP COME IN OCTOBER ONE WITH THIS NEW BUDGET.

SO, QUESTION FOR YOU, SIR.

RIGHT NOW, BEFORE WE SIGN THIS, OR BEFORE WE VOTE ON THIS ORDER, IF THE SITUATION YOU DESCRIBED HAPPENED YESTERDAY, WOULD WEATHERFORD PD HAVE TRANSPORTED TO MCCOLLIN COUNTY? YES.

SO IT'S PARINO OR, OR SPRINGTOWN OR, OR ANY OTHER POLICE AGENCY TO COME.

IF THEY TAKE A JUVENILE INTO CUSTODY, IT'S INCUMBENT UPON THEM TO TRANSPORT THAT PERSON TO A FACILITY.

IF IT'S OUTTA COUNTY, WHERE'S THE PERMIT? AND ALL OF THE COUNTY, ALL THE FACILITIES ARE OUT OF COUNTY.

SO WHERE WOULD WE MANDATE THE ORDER THEN IS IT'S YOU, IF YOU WOULD, WOULD THAT WOULD MANDATE US, THIS ORDER WOULD MANDATE US TO DO THAT.

JUST SO I'M REALLY CLEAR ON THIS.

THEY WEREN'T GIVING THE JUVENILE OVER TO OUR JUVENILE AND HAVING US TRANSPORT IT.

NOT AT THAT POINT.

ONCE THEY GO TO THE FACILITY, THEN, THEN DIFFERENT RULES COME INTO PLACE, SIR.

FROM FACILITY TO COURT HEARINGS AND FACILITY TO FACILITY AND TO DOCTORS AND PSYCHIATRISTS, IT'S A DIFFERENT WORK.

IT'S JUST THE OFFICERS, WHEN THEY TAKE ONE INTO CUSTODY AT THAT TIME, IT'S INCUMBENT UPON THAT AGENCY AND THAT OFFICER TO TAKE 'EM TO A FACILITY WHEREVER THEY HAPPEN TO GET A BED AT THAT TIME.

SO CAN WE MODIFY OUR APPROVAL OF THE ORDER TO BE SUBJECT TO NOT INCLUSIVE? UH, I THINK ACCORDING STATUTE, I DON'T BELIEVE SO.

DON'T YOU HAVE THAT OPTION? THAT'S A YES OR A NO.

NO, YOU DON'T HAVE THAT OPTION.

IT'S EITHER YOU APPROVE THE ORDER OR YOU DON'T.

IT'S NOT, IT'S NOT HYBRID.

I MEAN, YOU CAN'T LIKE FILL IT LIKE BILL IT SOMETIME AND THEN WE'LL, WE'LL BE DOING THE WORK OF A LOT OF OTHER FOLKS AS WELL.

CAN I ASK THE JUVENILE BOARD, WHY WAS IT INTENTIONAL? AND IF SO, WHAT WAS THE RATIONALE BEHIND WHY WE'RE EXPANDING PARKER COUNTY'S OBLIGATION PAST, LIKE SO THE WEATHERFORD PD EXAMPLE WAS THAT IN, I BELIEVE THAT'S JUST, JUST THE WAY THE STATUTE'S WRITTEN ON AN ADOPTION BY THE ORDER FROM THEM THAT THIS IS THE OPTION YOU GIVE.

EITHER THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE DOES IT OR YOU LEAVE IT THE WAY IT WAS.

AND THEN THAT'S IN THE STATUTE.

SO IT'S, IT'S NOT THE JUVENILE BOARD JUST OUT TO GET ANYBODY, IT'S JUST THEY'RE DOING ONE OF THEIR DUTIES AS WELL.

GOTCHA.

SO HERE'S THE SITUATION AS I SEE IT, AND I'M PARDON MY INTERRUPTION, BUT WHAT WE'D LIKE TO DO IS HELP OUR JUVENILE DEPARTMENT OUT WITH TRANSPORT.

WOULD THAT BE WHAT WE'RE POSSIBLY TO DO THAT NOW? AND WE WILL HELP THEM? WE DO.

WE'VE BEEN DOING NOW SOME, TO SOME DEGREE WE DO, UH, A LOT OF TIMES WHEN THEY'RE SCHEDULED.

NOW, LIKE THE IMMEDIATE DETENTIONS, LIKE IF, LIKE SHE SAID, MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, WE DON'T HAVE A TRANSPORT PERSON AVAILABLE.

LIKE RIGHT NOW WE HAVE EIGHT OUT STATE TRANSPORT PEOPLE GETTING READY TO BE PICKED UP.

UH, BUT IF THEY'RE SCHEDULED FOR A HEARING OR DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT, YEAH, WE'RE WORKING WITH 'EM QUITE WELL AND WE'RE, WE'RE ACCOMMODATING SOME OF THOSE REQUESTS.

SO IT DOESN'T, YOU DON'T HAVE THE RESOURCES.

WE PASSED THIS ORDER NOW.

YOU, YOU DON'T HAVE, I WILL BE CUTTING SOMETHING NOW.

THERE IS A LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL IN A FEW WEEKS WHEN OUR SCHOOL NO, WE, WE SEE THAT AND, UH, WE MAKE IT LAST FOR US TO GET BACK TO COURT NEXT TIME.

TWO WEEKS.

AGAIN.

WE'RE, WE'RE GONNA DO THE SAME THING WHETHER YOU PASS THE ORDER OR NOT.

NO, HE'S NOT.

NO, BUT, BUT ARE WE NOT OBLIGATED TO PASS THIS ORDER? NO.

THE OFFICER, AND THE COMMUNITY SAFETY AS A WHOLE.

ASHLEY, I MEAN, WE'VE BEEN SITTING HERE TALKING AND YOU'VE BEEN BACK THERE.

I CAN TELL THERE'S THINGS ON YOUR MIND.

NO, I JUST WANTED TO REPORT OUT TO COMMISSIONER WALDEN THAT I, UM, I DID LOOK AT THE NUMBERS AND COUNT THEM.

AND SINCE, UM, AUGUST OF 2023, WE HAVE COMPLETED 47 TRANSPORTS.

MM-HMM, .

SO THAT SPEAKS SPECIFICALLY TO YOUR QUESTION, JUST KIND OF IN REFERENCE IN WHERE THIS CAME ABOUT OVERALL, IT WASN'T IN RESPONSE TO ONE SPECIFIC INCIDENT.

IT WAS COMING ON BOARD AND SEEING THAT CURRENT PRACTICES DID NOT ALIGN WITH STANDARDS AND STATUTES, NOR WAS IT IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE WAY THAT WE WERE DOING BUSINESS, UM, TO BEST PROTECT PARKER COUNTY FROM FROM LITIGATION.

UM, IT IS A REQUIREMENT PER STANDARD THAT WE HAVE AN INDIVIDUAL WHO'S CONSISTENTLY TRANSPORTING JUVENILES WHO, UM, ARE FIRST AID AND CPR CERTIFIED.

UM, WE GOT OUR OFFICERS HANDLE WITH CARE CERTIFIED.

AND THEN JUST IN RESPONSE TO HOW OTHER PROBATION DEPARTMENTS, UM, ARE DOING IT AS WELL.

UH, COUNTY ATTORNEY FORCE, I BELIEVE THAT YOU CAN SPEAK TO THE FACT THAT, UM, MANY OF THE DEPARTMENTS THAT YOU SPOKE TO THAT ARE, ARE PARTNERING AGENCIES ALSO HAVE THE SAME PRACTICE IN PLACE, UM, JUST FOR, UH, PROTECTION OF THE JUVENILE,

[02:05:01]

AND WE DID CONTACT SEVERAL COUNTIES.

AND THE, THE SHERIFF IN THOSE COUNTIES, THEY DO DO THE TRANSPORT.

UH, I DID HAVE ONE QUESTION, THOUGH.

THE INITIAL CONTACT IS, IS WE'RE THE ONLY TIME THE OTHER AGENCY WOULD ACTUALLY BE TRANSPORTING, IS THAT CORRECT? GENERALLY SPEAKING, YES.

THAT'S, YEAH.

WHEN THEY, WHEN THEY DETAIN A JUVENILE AND THEY'RE GONNA PUT 'EM INTO CUSTODY.

SO THAT'S WHEN THE INCIDENT OCCURS, NOT 'CAUSE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, WHATEVER OFFENSE.

AND YES, THEY'RE GONNA DETAIN 'EM AND YES, THEY TAKE 'EM TO A FACILITY.

SO OF THOSE 47 TRANSPORTS THAT YOU'RE, HOW MANY, HOW MANY INDIVIDUALS IS THAT? IS THAT FOUR? 7 47 4 7 INDIVIDUALS? YES.

AND THOSE ARE TRANSPORTED FROM OUR CUSTODY TO A FACILITY BY AND LARGE? YES.

OR FROM A FACILITY BACK TO COURT OR FROM COURT TO A FACILITY? MM-HMM.

SOMETIMES IN BETWEEN FACILITIES IF WE HAD JUVENILES KICKED OUT OF FACILITIES AND, AND TOLD TO COME GET, GET THEM AND FIND ANOTHER PLACE FOR THEM TO GO.

SO AGAIN, LIKE KIND OF WHAT I'M SPEAKING TO, IT'S A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF TRANSPORTS, BUT IT WAS 40, UH, 47 UNIQUE JUVENILES.

SO A ACTUALLY, ONCE THEY'RE INITIALLY PLACED WITH A FACILITY, THEN THAT'S OUR RESPONSIBILITY THEN TO TRANSPORT THEM AND, AND THE READING THE ORDER, IT'S COMMITMENT TO TEXAS JUVENILE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT, COMMITMENT TO ANY RESIDENTIAL PLACEMENT FACILITY, COMMITMENT TO ANY SUBSTANCE ABUSE OR MENTAL FACILITY, MEDICAL VISITS TO HOSPITAL OR DOCTOR'S OFFICE, DENTAL VISITS, PSYCHIATRIC VISITS, UM, REQUIRED ASSESSMENTS AND EVALUATIONS, AND ANY OTHER ACTIVITIES THAT REQUIRE THE TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM THE DETENTION FACILITY IN WHICH THE CHILD IS, IS DETAINED.

AND SO EVERYTHING ELSE WE'RE ALREADY PROBABLY DOING OTHER THAN THE INITIAL CONTACT WITH THE JUVENILE THAT GETS THEM THERE.

IS THAT, OKAY.

UM, ARE YOU SPEAKING TO THE JUVENILE PROBATION DEPARTMENT CORRECT.

DOING ALL OF THESE OTHER THINGS? YES, YOU ARE CORRECT.

THERE'S STILL A LOT OF MONEY THAT HADN'T BEEN SPENT IN THE JJ SYSTEM CORRECT.

THAT WE COULD USE FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR.

UNTIL THE BUDGET RIGHT.

COMES ALONG.

THAT'S ALL I WAS TRYING TO DO IS GET TO THE NEXT BUDGET HERE.

WELL, I SUGGEST WE USE THAT MONEY.

WELL, I MEAN, RIGHT NOW I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH IT IS.

THAT'S WHY I WAS TRYING TO DELAY THAT.

UH, WELL, WE JUST NEED TO GO AHEAD AND VOTE ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.

WHAT, WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO THEN FIGURE OUT WHERE WE'RE GONNA GET THE MONEY.

WELL, IT'S ALSO, IT IS NOT JUST A FUNDING ISSUE.

IT'S A RESOURCE ISSUE THAT WHETHER WE HAVE THE MONEY OR NOT, WHETHER YOU'RE GONNA HAVE THE, THE, THE, IT'S, IT IS THE MANPOWER AVAILABLE BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T GONE THROUGH THE BUDGET AND ALLOCATED THE APPROVAL OF HIRING TWO PEOPLE, BUYING TWO CARS, FITTING THEM AND GETTING THEM.

WE, WE HAVEN'T GONE THROUGH THAT.

SO YOU'RE LEFT WITH DOING THIS.

AND I UNDERSTAND WHERE YOU'RE COMING FROM, SHERIFF, IS YOU DON'T, YOU DON'T HAVE THE RESOURCES TO DO THIS.

IF WE APPROVE THIS ORDER, YOU DON'T HAVE THE RESOURCES TO FULFILL THAT ORDER.

IF YOU APPROVE IT RIGHT NOW, SOMETHING WILL BE CUT, DON'T YOU DON'T.

SO THERE IN THEORY THOUGH, IN, IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS, SCHOOLS OUT AND YOU'RE GONNA BE HAVING THOSE, UH, AS FAR AS, AND I THINK IN THE PAST, YOU, YOU LET ME KNOW THAT THEY, THAT'S WHAT THEY DID.

A LOT OF 'EM WORKED IN TRANSPORT.

MM-HMM, .

AND WE'LL GET THROUGH IT.

I MEAN, I UNDERSTAND, BUT YOUR POSITION'S NOT CHANGED.

YOU'RE OPPOSED TO THIS ORDER TO THE ADOPTION OF THIS ORDER.

I'M, I'M, I'M OPPOSED TO THE ADOPTION OF THE ORDER, BUT NOT TO HELPING OUT.

WELL, BUT BECAUSE AGAIN, WE WE HAVEN'T ALLOCATED RESOURCES FOR YOU TO DO THIS AT THE CAPACITY THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IN THE VOTE THAT'S ON THE FLOOR TODAY, YOU DON'T HAVE THOSE RESOURCES TO COMMIT TO THAT.

AND COME OCTOBER ONE, IF WE GET ADDITIONAL PERSONNEL TO DO THIS, I WOULD, I WOULD TAKE ALL THE JUVENILE STUFF, BUT STILL WOULD NOT WANT THIS ORDER ADOPTED.

IT WOULD STILL PUT THE OTHER AGENCIES, WHEN THEY TAKE A JUVENILE INTO CUSTODY, THAT'S STILL INCUMBENT UPON THEM TO DO THAT.

THIS IS NOT WHAT I WAS HOPING TO DO.

BUT GIVEN THE REALITY OF THIS SITUATION, YOU'RE, AND, AND, AND THE SINCERITY THAT'S COMING OUT OF YOU AND, AND BOTH OF YOU IS, IS, AND THE COLLABORATION IS GOOD, WE'RE GONNA GET THROUGH THIS, BUT WE CAN'T MANDATE SOMETHING AND CRAM THIS DOWN YOUR THROAT WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE THE RESOURCES THAT WE HAVEN'T GIVEN YOU.

I'M, I WITHDRAW MY MOTION, UH, TO DO THIS.

AND, UH, WE CAN LOOK AT THE FINANCING OF THIS.

UH, BUT THE, THE THING TO ME THAT'S MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANYTHING IS TO, IS TO, IF WE'RE GONNA GIVE YOU A RESPONSIBILITY THAT WE NEED TO GIVE YOU THE RESOURCES FIRST AND FOREMOST TO DO THOSE.

AND ACTUALLY, I, I UNDERSTAND WHERE YOU'RE COMING FROM AND YOU'RE STRAINED, BUT WE CAN'T, WE CAN'T BECAUSE YOU SAID IT YOURSELF.

IF, IF YOU DO THIS AND, AND WE PASS THIS MANDATE THIS, OR HAVE WHATEVER WORD YOU WANNA CALL IT, YOU'RE PULLING FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE THAT'S GONNA BE SHORTHANDED AND IT'S GONNA HURT SOMEWHERE ELSE.

I WITHDRAW THE MOTION AND WE'LL BRING THIS

[02:10:01]

BACK TO COURT.

AND, UH, BUT WE'RE NOT GONNA APPROVE.

WE'RE, WE'RE NOT GONNA, WE'RE NOT GOING TO REALLY BEAT THIS THING, UH, UNTIL WE ALLOCATE RESOURCES TO YOU AS WE TALKED ABOUT BEFORE, UH, TO GIVE YOU THE RESOURCES YOU NEED.

WE'RE NOT GONNA, WE'RE NOT GONNA SOLVE THIS ISSUE, UH, COMPLETELY AS IT NEEDS TO BE UNTIL WE DO THAT.

WOULD YOU AGREE? I I AGREE IN PART, YES.

UNDER UNDERSTOOD.

OKAY, I'LL WITHDRAW MY MOTION ON THIS.

I WOULD LIKE JUST TO MAKE REFERENCE TO THE COURT, JUST SO EVERYONE IS CLEAR, THAT THE NUMBERS THAT WE HAVE SPOKEN TO TODAY, THE NUMBERS OF TRANSPORTS, THE HOURS AND THE MANPOWER THAT HAS BEEN UTILIZED IS WITH HELP FROM THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT.

THIS ISN'T US DOING IT ALONE, RIGHT? THIS IS, UM, WHEN THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO ASSIST.

UM, SO I, I DO WANT THE COURTS TO KNOW THAT THE INFORMATION YOU HAVE TODAY IS WITH AN EXISTING COLLABORATIVE RELATIONSHIP.

AND YOU, AND I APPRECIATE Y'ALL WORKING WELL TOGETHER.

THAT'S IMPORTANT.

JUST SO THAT I'M CLEAR, THOSE NUMBERS THAT YOU GAVE WERE NOT INCLUSIVE OF THE HOURS THAT THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE HELPED.

THE NUMBERS THAT I GAVE ONLY INCLUDED THE NUMBERS THAT PROBATION, RIGHT.

DID THE TRANSPORT, UH, COMMISSIONER HOLDEN, DO YOU WANT TO KEEP YOUR SECOND OR YOU WANNA, SINCE YOU WITHDRAW, THERE'S NO MOTION TO SAY NO MOTIONS.

WE'LL TAKE NO ACTION ON THIS ITEM THEN.

THANK YOU BOTH.

I'D LIKE TO TAKE ACTION ON ONE ITEM.

BREAK.

WHAT IF I TAKE A BREAK? WE, WE AT 1115, WE, WE'LL RECESS AT 11, 11 15 AND COME BACK AT 1125.

25.

WE'RE GONNA GO BACK TO ITEM K ON DISCUSS APPROVE PAYING INVOICE FOR FLOORING CONTRACTOR FOR PRECINCT TWO FLOORING INSTALLATION.

1125 MEAN FROM THE, UM, THE RECESS AT 1127.

[6.K. Discuss/Approve paying invoice for flooring contractor for Precinct 2 flooring installation. (Mark Long / Judge Deen) ]

THAT WAS NOT INCLUDED FOR PAYMENT.

UM, AND I SPOKE TO MARK AND HE SAID IT WOULD BE FINE TO GO TO THE NEXT COURT, WHICH WOULD BE THE 27TH ON THAT ITEM.

OKAY, WE'RE GONNA GO TO ITEM CC, APPROVE THE RENEWAL CONTRACT FOR SCAP CONTRACT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024.

SO THAT DOESN'T NEED TO BE ANY ACTION, BUT JUST WANTED TO UPDATE YOU ON THAT.

[6.CC. Approve the Renewal Contract for SCAAP Contract for Fiscal Year 2024-2025 and take any action the court deems necessary. (John Forrest / Judge Deen) ]

DO 2025 AND TAKE ANY ACTION.

AND THIS IS A CONTINUATION CONTRACT FOR STATE CRIMINAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM, AND IT ALLOWS US TO GET, UH, FEDERAL FINANCIAL PARTICIPATION.

THIS GROUP LOOKS FOR FUNDING FOR US, AND THEY GET A FEE OFF OF THE GRANTS THAT THEY FIND AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL, STATE LEVEL, AND IS A CONTINUATION MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER HALE.

FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM BEFORE WE VOTE, DOES IT TIE ANY STRINGS TO US? IT DOES NOT.

WE HAVE AN OUT CLAUSE ON THIS.

GOT ITEM DED DISCUSSION REGARDING THE INTER LOCAL AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF MILLSAP FOR OWN SITE SEPTIC INSPECTIONS AND TAKE ANY ACTION THE COURT DEEMS NECESSARY, JOHN, AND I'M GONNA LET RUSTY, UH, TALK ABOUT THIS.

OH,

[6.DD. Discussion regarding the Interlocal Agreement with The City of Millsap for On-Site Septic Inspections and take any action the court deems necessary. (John Forrest / Judge Deen)]

BASICALLY, I THINK HE HAS A SOLUTION FOR THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE.

SO AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS, MILLSAP AND WEATHERFORD HAD AUTHORIZED AGENTS, SO THEY HAD ACCOUNTS WITH TCEQ TO REPORT COME NOVEMBER.

TCEQ SAID, IF YOU HAVE AN ACCOUNT, YOU MUST REPORT.

SO THAT'S WHEN WE TERMINATE THE INTERLOCALS.

WEATHERFORD OPTED TO KEEP THEIR ACCOUNT AND DO THEIR OWN INSPECTIONS.

SO ALL MILLS HAVE WOULD HAVE TO DO IS TO CONTACT TCEQ, TERMINATE THE ACCOUNT, AND THEN WE IN TURN PASS AN ORDER IN OUR ORDER THAT WE'LL DO ANY INSPECTIONS IN MILLSAP.

SO IT'S, IT'S PRETTY EASY SOLUTION.

BUT MILLSAP HAS TO DO IT.

WE CAN'T DO IT FOR 'EM.

THEY HAVE TO DO IT.

CAN YOU ASSIST THEM IN THAT? I, I, YES, SIR.

AND, AND WE'LL JUST GET TOGETHER AND WORK WITH THEM AND YEAH, THEY, THEY DON'T HAVE BUT ABOUT TWO A YEAR, RIGHT? YEAH.

IT'S, YEAH.

WE WILL DO THE INSPECTIONS.

IT'S JUST, IT'S JUST, IT JUST CREATES A COUNTY NIGHTMARE BECAUSE NOW WE HAVE PARKER COUNTY'S ACCOUNT AND MILLSAPS COUNTY AND THEN IT, WE NEED TO HAVE, SO DO YOU FEEL LIKE WE CAN GET AN ORDER BEFORE NEXT COURT TO GET THE ISSUE RESOLVED? DO WHAT NOW? GET AN ORDER TOGETHER BEFORE THIS NEXT COURT? YEAH.

IT WAS, YES, PRETTY QUICK.

IF YOU'LL WORK WITH THEM ON DOING WHAT WE NEED TO DO, THEN I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY NEED OF ANY ACTION TODAY.

WE'LL GO TO SEVEN A ON ACCEPTING OF THE MINUTES UNDER ITEM A CIVIC PLUS MANAGED SERVICES AGREEMENT.

YOU TAKE NO ACTION ON DD WE'LL GO TO,

[02:15:01]

SORRY,

[7.A. Civic Plus Managed Services Agreement. (Kim Rivas / Judge Deen) ]

OBJECTION.

I'M SORRY.

JOHN .

WE'LL COME BACK TO THAT.

[7.B. Executed Department of Treasury Requests for Transfer of Property Seized by Parker County Sheriffs Office. (John Forrest / Judge Deen) ]

ITEM B, EXECUTED DEPARTMENT OF TREASURY REQUESTS FOR TRANSFERS OF PROPERTY SEIZED BY PARKER COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE, SO THAT THOSE BE ENTERED INTO THE MINUTES.

YEAH, I KNOW.

I DON'T HAVE 'EM CIRCLED YET.

[6.X. Join the class action lawsuit for collection of fees for the Visa/Mastercard settlement and take any action the court deems necessary. (John Forrest / Judge Deen) ]

WE'RE GONNA GO BACK TO ITEM X ON JOIN THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR COLLECTION OF FEES FOR THE VISA MASTERCARD SETTLEMENT AND TAKE ANY ACTION.

AND THIS JUST, UH, PUTS US IN A CLASS ACTION THAT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT 10 YEARS ON THE COLLECTION OF INTERCHANGE FEES AND MERCHANT FEES.

AND WE THINK THAT, UH, THE LAWSUIT'S OVER THOSE FEES NOT BEING PROPER.

AND SO IT GIVES US THE ABILITY TO COLLECT MONEY FROM, I THINK IT WAS MASTERCARD IS, I BELIEVE, WHICH ONE? IT'S SO IS THE, UH, VCM MA MASTERCARD, ATTORNEY GENERAL WHO, WHO'S FILED A LAWSUIT? UH, THIS IS ACTUALLY A, A PRIVATE FIRM.

IT'S NOT THANK G.

MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER CONNOLLY WITH A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR.

OH, WE'LL GO TO ITEM Z, APPROVE THE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT.

I'M SORRY.

Y, APPROVE ADDENDUM NUMBER FIVE WITH THE TOWN OF BENETTA.

[6.Y. Approve Addendum No. 5 with the Town of Annetta and take any action the court deems necessary. (John Forrest / Judge Deen) ]

AND TAKE ANY ACTION.

AND WE'VE REVIEWED THIS.

MIKE HILL, I BELIEVE YOU REVIEWED THOSE.

HE'S THE ONE THAT PRESENTED THIS.

SO, UH, YES SIR.

THIS IS JUST EXPANDING ON OUR INTERLOCAL WITH SOME ADDITIONAL ROADS THAT THEY WANT SOME WORK ON.

MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER HA WITH A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER CONLEY.

ANY DISCUSSION ON THIS? COMMENTS? ALL IN FAVOR? MOTION PASSES.

OH, WE'LL GO TO ITEM EIGHT ON EXECUTIVE SESSION IN ACCORDANCE WITH, NOW GO BACK TO TOMORROW.

OH, NO, THE LENGTHY ONE.

AH, WE DON'T WANT, WE DON'T WANT TO DO THAT.

I THOUGHT I WAS GETTING AWAY FROM THAT.

WHAT WAS ACTUALLY ATTACHED TO THE, WHAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT.

WE'LL MOVE BACK TO ITEM TOMORROW AND DISCUSS APPROVED ELECTRONICALLY ATTACHING ALL EXHIBITS TO COMMISSIONER'S, COURT AND BUDGET MEETINGS, WORKSHOPS, GIVEN PARKER COUNTY'S RECENT CIVIC PLUS UPGRADE AND ALSO PREPARE, DISTRIBUTE BUDGET PACKETS TO COMMISSIONERS ELECTRONICALLY.

LALA, HI THERE.

I HAVE A VERY LONG PASS AWAY.

STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD.

THERE WE GO.

UM, I HAD SENT OUT AN EMAIL EARLIER, UH, LAST WEEK, UM, TO ALL THE COMMISSIONERS WITH A SUGGESTION.

AND SO I WANTED TO SHOW YOU WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT BECAUSE I HAD SAID, UM, TO HAVE EVERYTHING ATTACHED TO THE AGENDA AS, UM, ATTACHMENTS.

SO IN 2015, WE PURCHASED GRANICUS, THE COURT, UH, DECIDED WE HAD SEVERAL VENDORS COME OUT AND WE CHOSE GRANICUS.

AND IT WORKED VERY WELL FOR A, FOR A LONG TIME.

AND THEN IT KIND OF STARTED FALLING APART.

AND SO AROUND 21, UH, WE WERE HAVING GRANICUS ISSUES AND WE WERE GONNA MOVE TO SWAG.

AND IF YOU RECALL, GRANICUS CAME IN AND BOUGHT 'EM.

YOU KNOW, YOU CAN'T BEAT YOUR COMPETITION, SO YOU BUY 'EM.

UM, SO DURING THAT TIME, WE WERE LOOKING AT MOVING EVERYTHING UNDER ONE ROOF, BECAUSE NOW WHAT YOU DON'T SEE BEHIND THE SCENES IS WE ACTUALLY HAVE AN AGENDA QUICK PROGRAM.

WE HAVE A NEW CIVIC PLUS PROGRAM, AND WE HAVE GRANICUS.

AND SO GRANICUS IS WHAT WE ARE RUNNING IN HERE.

AND SO WE HAD TALKED ABOUT TRYING TO GET EVERYTHING STREAMLINED UNDER ONE ROOF.

AND SO WE, UH, AND JAMES IT AND WITH, UH, RICH, WE WENT TO CIVIC PLUS FOR THE AGENDA SECTION.

AND SO WHEN I SAY ATTACH IT TO THE AGENDA, THIS IS WHAT THE PUBLIC WOULD SEE.

SO THEY WANNA KNOW WHAT HAPPENED RIGHT HERE.

AND SO WE'RE PULL UP THIS AGENDA, AND THEN DOWN HERE, LET'S SEE, ITEM NINE.

SO, AND THIS IS NOTHING NEW.

THIS IS WHAT THE SYSTEM WAS DESIGNED FOR.

WE JUST KIND OF MOVED AWAY FROM USING IT.

AND SO YOU SEE THERE WAS A THANK YOU NOTE TO THE COMMISSIONERS.

AND SO NOW THE PUBLIC CAN LOOK AND GO, OH, THERE'S THE THANK YOU NOTE THAT THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT DURING COURT.

OR THEY CAN GO LOOK AND THEY'RE TALKING HERE ABOUT THE, THE BRIDGE 10 TOP BRIDGE, SO THEY CAN SEE EXACTLY WHAT YOU GUYS SAW IN COURT.

UM, FOR INSTANCE, ESPECIALLY DURING BUDGET SEASON, UH, THE TREASURER'S REALLY GOOD ABOUT THIS.

HEY, WE'VE GOT OPTION A AND OPTION B, NOBODY, BUT YOU GUYS CAN SEE OPTION A AND OPTION B.

AND SO THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT WHEN I SAY ATTACH IT TO THE AGENDA.

AND NOW THE PUBLIC CAN GO ON AND, AND SEE, UH,

[02:20:01]

AND AGAIN, THIS IS FROM OUR WEBSITE, AND THESE ARE, UM, YOU KNOW, FOR INSTANCE, RIGHT HERE, THERE WAS A PRESENTATION DONE IN COURT THAT DAY.

THERE'S THE PRESENTATION.

SO THERE, THERE'S NOTHING NEW.

THIS IS NOT NEW TECHNOLOGY, WE JUST HAVEN'T UTILIZED IT TO THE FULLEST POTENTIAL.

UM, SO WITH OUR NEW SYSTEM, WITH UM, GRANICUS, I MEAN WITH CIVIC PLUS, THAT ALLOWS US, HERE'S, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING ELSE WE TALKED ABOUT IN COURT.

UM, SO THAT'S MY POINT IS WHEN WE'RE IN HERE TALKING, WE HAVE ALL THIS PAPER FLOATING AROUND.

WE'RE THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT CAN SEE IT.

AND SO WHEN THE PUBLIC GOES BACK TO WATCH THIS, THERE'S NO, YOU CAN'T TELL WHAT HAPPENED.

YOU KNOW THAT THE COURT APPROVED OPTION B, BUT YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT OPTION A AND B WERE WITH THE CIVIC PLUS.

UM, IT'LL ALLOW US TO GENERATE ALL OF THIS IN ADVANCE.

UM, ANYTHING, UH, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BREAK ANY QUORUM RULES.

UM, YOU CAN REVIEW EVERYTHING BEFORE IT'S IN HERE.

AND SO TODAY, UH, ON TODAY'S AGENDA, YOU PROBABLY DIDN'T RECOGNIZE, BUT RICH HAS ATTACHED ALMOST ALL OF THE DOCUMENTS TO IT.

SO I TRIED IT DURING COURT.

IF YOU TOUCH YOUR DOCUMENT BUTTON, YOU CAN SEE THE DOCUMENTS THAT ALL SPREAD IT AROUND UP THERE.

BUT, UM, EVEN WHEN WE COME INTO THE BUDGET SEASON, WHEN BRIANNA HAS A NEW SPREADSHEET, YOU JUST CLICK ON YOUR DOCUMENT BUTTON AND IT'S THERE.

EVERYTHING GETS LOADED.

THERE'S, YOU CAN'T DO IT THERE 'CAUSE THERE'S NO DOCUMENTS ATTACHED.

BUT EARLIER TODAY I WAS, I TRIED IT ON, UH, COMMISSIONER CONLEY'S COMPUTER.

SO IT IS JUST SWITCHING BACK AND FORTH.

SO, UM, THE, THE, UM, SO THE BUDGET PACKAGE IN YOUR BUDGET TO DO IT, OR WE ALREADY PAID FOR IT.

OH, WE, WE, WE PAY FOR THIS.

IT'S PAID FOR.

THERE'S ALL WE NEED IS A SECOND AND WE CAN MOVE ON.

UM, BUT YOU KNOW, THE BUDGET PACKAGES, THEY, THEY CAN BE ATTACHED HERE.

UM, ANYTHING WE TALK ABOUT, SHE'LL TALK FOREVER.

JUDGE, WE GOT A SECOND.

MOTION IS MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER CONLEY, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER HOLT.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? OKAY, THANK YOU.

YOU'RE A SMOOTH TALKER.

LEMME GO UP HERE AND PUT, I KNOW YOU WAS ON THE ROAD, BUT THAT'S OKAY.

TIME.

MY, MY POINT IS WE PAY FOR IT, WE OUGHT TO USE IT.

ITEM EIGHT, EXECUTIVE SESSION ACCORDING TO SECTION 5 5 1 0 7 2 AND 5 5 1 0 7 6.

OKAY, NOW MOTION PASSES WAS FIVE.

OH, DO WE NEED TO SHOW THE FIVE OH UP THERE? UH, IF THE JUDGE WILL PUSH HIS BUTTON.

I DID PUSH MY BUTTON THAT, OH, SORRY.

, GET OFF MY BACK.

LILA, THAT ONE'S A LOT QUICKER THAN SOME OF THE OTHER THINGS WE DISCUSSED TODAY.

[8. EXECUTIVE SESSION ]

AND RESERVING THE RIGHT TO CONVENE EXECUTIVE SESSION TO DISCUSS ITEM EIGHT, DISCUSS, TAKE ACTION ON THE LOT.

1 26 WEST SPRING IN WEATHERFORD, TEXAS IN ITEM B, IT NETWORK PROJECT UPDATE THAT THE RECORD SHOW WILL MOVE INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION AT 1139 AFTER EXECUTIVE SESSION.

THE RECORD SHOW AT 1206.

WE'RE GONNA MOVE TO ITEMS DISCUSSED IN ITEM EIGHT ON ITEM A.

DISCUSSED TAKE ACTION ON THE LOT AT 1 26 WEST SPRING IN WEATHERFORD, TEXAS.

WE'RE GONNA TAKE NO ACTION ON THAT ITEM UNDER ITEM B, IT NETWORK PROJECT SECURITY UPDATE.

WE'RE GONNA TAKE NO ACTION ON THAT ITEM.

THAT TAKES US

[9.A.1. PRECINCT 1 ]

TO ITEM NINE ON ITEM A ONE.

ARE WE READY? JOHN? YOU READY? WE'RE GONNA GO TO ITEM MAY ONE, PRECINCT ONE.

I APPROVE THE FINAL REVISION FOR A SUBDIVISION KNOWN AS ENCHANTED LAKES ESTATES LOCATED IN THE ETJ OF THE CITY OF FORT WORTH, CONSISTING OF 3.78 ACRES AVAILABLE BY ALLISON AND RAY YONDA LOCATED OFF OF OVERLOOK TRAIL WITH WALNUT CREEK WATER IN THE WATER SOURCE AND PRECINCT ONE.

IT IS A PUBLIC HEARING.

DID NOT OKAY, IF WE'RE GONNA GO AHEAD AND OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AND 12 0 12 0 7.

IS THERE ANYBODY HERE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON ITEM A ONE PRECINCT ONE? THE PUBLIC HEARING WILL WILL COMMENCE AT 1207.

HEARING NONE, SCENE NONE WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC

[02:25:01]

HEARING AT 1207 AND GO TO THE ITEM COUNSELOR.

UH, DIDN'T UH, FORT WORTH RELINQUISH THE EJS OUT IN THAT AREA? OH, I'M SORRY.

THEY, THEY, SORRY.

THEY DID RELEASE THE ETJ ON.

THEY HAVE, THEY'RE DOING IT ON PER FLAT.

OH, I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A PACKAGE DEAL THAT JUST HURT.

GET EVERYTHING GOOD IN ORDER FOR THE FINAL LOCATION PURPOSE PERMIT DEPARTMENT HAS WATER AND PRIVATE WASTE AND, UH, PROVIDE TWO LOTS BECAUSE ONE OUTSIDE OF HIS RANGE.

3 7 8 GOING UP IS YOUR, UH, SO THEY DO HAVE TO HAVE IS YOUR DEAL ON RIGHT THERE IT IS NOW.

SO THAT'S OKAY.

SO, UH, BUT LIKE I SAYING, THE, THE LOTS ARE, ARE VERY SMALL LOTS, BUT HERE WE'RE COMBINING.

SO THEY STILL GET TO HAVE THE, UH, SEPTIC SYSTEM ON THAT PARTICULAR LOT BASED ON THE SIZE AND BASED ON THE FACT THAT IT WAS PLANTED PREVIOUSLY.

BUT THEY DO HAVE PUBLIC WATER AND THEY HAVE MET ALL OF THE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS.

I MOVED TO APPROVE NINE A ONE MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER CONY WITH A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER.

HA.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? ALL THIS? OKAY.

FIVE OH GOOD.

TWO ON BEGIN THE PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR SUBDIVISION.

[9.A.2. PRECINCT 1 ]

BE KNOWN AS LONG SUBDIVISION LOCATED IN THE ETJ OF THE CITY OF WEATHERFORD.

CONSIST OF 7.54 ACRES DEVELOPED BY JUSTIN AND SAVANNAH.

LONG LOCATED ON OFF THE GREEN BRANCH ROAD WITH WALL WATER AND PRECINCT ONE.

THIS IS GONNA BE A TWO LOT SUBDIVISION.

LOT ONE IS GONNA HAVE 2.5 ACRES.

LOT TWO IS GONNA HAVE 5.04.

UH, THE CITY OF WEATHERFORD DID DEFER THIS TO THE COUNTY TO HANDLE.

THEY ARE GONNA HAVE ROAD FRONTAGE OFF OF GREEN BRANCH ROAD AND WELL WATER IS GONNA BE THEIR WATER SOURCE.

COUNCIL, EVERYTHING GOOD FOR PRELIMINARY PURPOSES? UH, EVERYTHING IS IN ORDER FOR PRELIMINARY PURPOSES.

MOVE TO APPROVE 9 82.

MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER CONNOLLY WITH A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER HALE.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM BEFORE WE VOTE? ALL IN FAVOR? PASS FIVE.

VOTE.

[9.A.3. PRECINCT 1 ]

WE GOT ITEM THREE, APPROVE THE WAIVER FOR A GROUNDWATER STUDY FOR A LONG SUBDIVISION IN PRECINCT ONE.

AND THE LANDOWNER HERE, UH, HAS REQUESTED A WAIVER ON THIS PROPERTY COUNSELOR.

EVERYTHING OKAY.

EVERYTHING'S ALRIGHT.

I DO WANT TO DISCUSS THAT I, I WAS ABLE TO VISIT WITH DOUG SHAW AND THE WAY THAT NEW LAW READS IT, IT DOESN'T REALLY GIVE A WAIVER UNLESS THERE'S, IT'S BASED ON CREDIBLE EVIDENCE OF GROUNDWATER AVAILABILITY IN THE VICINITY OF THE PROPOSED SUBDIVISION.

AND, UH, HE HAS VISITED WITH TCQ, THEY'RE TRYING TO GET A DEFINITION, BUT I THINK THAT IF AS A COURT WE BROUGHT IN DOCUMENTATION OF AREAS WITHIN THAT VICINITY THAT HAVE HAD THE STUDIES, BIGGER SUBDIVISIONS SHOWING THAT THERE IS WATER IN THAT VICINITY, I THINK WE COULD PROBABLY GET BY WITH THAT BEING CREDIBLE EVIDENCE OF GROUNDWATER BEING AVAILABLE.

BUT IT'S SAYING THAT WE HAVE TO PRESENT SOME TYPE OF EVIDENCE.

SO WHO SAYS WE HAVE TO PRESENT, UH, THE WAY THE NEW LAW READS AND I HIGHLIGHTED THAT THIS NEW LAW YES SIR.

AND SO I HIGHLIGHTED THAT, BUT JUST UH, TO SAY THAT WE PROBABLY NEEDED THE DEVELOPER TO BRING SOMETHING IN SHOWING THEY'VE ATTEMPTED TO SHOW IN THAT VICINITY THERE'S WATER AVAILABLE, SOMETHING THAT'S CREDIBLE, NOT JUST WE THINK THERE'S WATER OR MAYBE EVEN SOMETHING FROM THE UPPER TRINITY GROUNDWATER DISTRICT SHOWING IN THAT VICINITY.

THEY'VE BEEN SUCCESSFUL WITH GETTING WELLS IN THERE.

IT SOUNDS LIKE WHAT WE TRIED TO DO PREVIOUSLY WITH UPPER TRINITY AND THAT WAS TO HAVE THEM FLAG SUBDIVISIONS WHERE THERE THOUGHT THERE WOULD BE AN ISSUE AND SAY YES OR NOT NOT NECESSARY FOR THOSE THAT HAVE CREDIBLE EVIDENCE THAT THEY DON'T NEED A GROUNDWATER STUDY.

SO ARE YOU COMFORTABLE WITH US GOING AHEAD AND APPROVING THIS TODAY OR DO WE NEED TO BRING BACK OR HAVE THEM BRING BACK CREDIBLE EVIDENCE TO US? THE, THE WAY THE LAW READS IT SAYS BASED ON CREDIBLE EVIDENCE YEAH.

OF GROUNDWATER.

IT ALSO STATES IN HERE NOT MORE THAN 10 PARTS.

SO, BUT THAT'S RIGHT.

ANY, ANY SUBDIVISION WITH MORE THAN 10 LOTS IN THAT SUBDIVISION YEAH.

DOESN'T MEET THE EXCEPTION.

SO THIS LONG SUBDIVISION, HOW MANY PARTS IS IT BEING DIVIDED? TWO.

TWO.

SAYING THAT IF THEY CAN SAY, PROVIDE EVIDENCE THAT THERE ARE WELLS AROUND THIS LOT, UH, THIS SUBDIVISION, THAT WE COULD APPROVE THESE SMALLER LOTS LIKE THAT.

AND THAT, THAT'S A PROBLEM THEY DIDN'T DIFFERENTIATE ON THESE SMALLER LOTS ARE JUST CUTTING OFF A LITTLE PIECE TO PAY TAXES OR AND THAT'S THE PROBLEM DOUG SHAW HAS TOO WITH IT.

I'M NOT, BUT I KNOW THE AREA AND THERE'S A LOT OF WATER THERE.

SO DO WE, DO WE HAVE A PROBLEM THEN WITH US USING THE COMMON SENSE APPROACH TO THIS AND

[02:30:01]

I THINK THAT'S CREDIBLE EVIDENCE.

AGAIN, DO YOU THINK WE NEED TO BRING, HAVE SOMEBODY BRING US SOMETHING OR WELL, I'M SAYING CAN WE VOTE ON THIS NOW OR DO WE NEED TO DELAY IT AND HAVE THEM BRING BACK CREDIBLE IT'S ONLY TWO LIVES.

IT'S NOT BRING BACK CREDIBLE EVIDENCE.

I I THINK WE'RE GONNA NEED SOME DOCUMENTATION.

YOU KNOW, THAT'S, THAT'S, AND THE REASON BEING IS IF SOMEONE CHALLENGES THAT CREDIBLE EVIDENCE WITHOUT US HAVING ANY DOCUMENTATION WITH THE COURT TO SHOW THAT THERE WAS WATER.

THAT'S PROBABLY CREDIBLE EVIDENCE.

I DON'T WANT TO CREATE LIABILITY FOR THE COUNTY AND THE WAY THE LAW CHANGED AND ONCE AGAIN TALKING WITH DOUG SHAW, I'D LIKE TO HAVE HIM BACK IN HERE.

TCQ IS TRYING TO GET A DEFINITION.

THEY'VE ASKED, THEY'VE REQUESTED TCQ TO GIVE HIM A DEFINITION OF WHAT CREDIBLE EVIDENCE IS.

I THINK WE'RE SMART ENOUGH IN HERE TO SAY THERE'S WELL AROUND WELLS AROUND IT THAT ARE PRODUCING.

BUT SINCE THIS IS A PRELIMINARY, I DON'T KNOW THAT IT CREATES A PROBLEM BECAUSE WE CAN DO IT.

IF THEY HAVE SOMETHING, WE RECOGNIZE IT, THEY JUST BRING IT WITH THE FINAL.

YOU CAN DO IT BEFORE THE FINAL AND THEN APPROVE THE FINAL.

SO YOUR RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE NO ACTION ON THIS.

NO ACTION ON THIS ONE OR ANY OTHERS.

I MEAN THERE I'M NOT JUST ASKING FOR THIS ONE, I'M ASKING FOR ALL THE OTHERS IN THERE.

IT'S GONNA BE THE SAME SITUATION.

WE NEED CREDIBLE EVIDENCE THAT THERE IS WATER AVAILABLE THERE.

I THINK AN OPPORTUNITY, WE NEED TO KNOW THE DEF DEFINITION DEFINITION OF CREDIBLE EVIDENCE.

I THINK WE CAN MAKE OUR OWN DECISION.

I THINK WE CAN GEORGE AND SAY THAT IF THEY CAN SHOW THAT THERE ARE OTHER WELLS THERE THAT ARE GOOD WELLS, THEN PROBABLY THAT'D BE CREDIBLE EVIDENCE THAT THERE'D BE GOOD WELLS HERE TOO.

SEE THAT'S, I I THINK THAT WOULD MEET OUR, MEET THE BURDEN TO SHOW CREDIBILITY.

AS FAR AS THE WATER BEING AVAILABLE, IT'S JUST LIKE I SAID, WE CAN DO IT RIGHT BEFORE THE FINAL.

AND IF YOU, NO, NO ACTION.

YEP.

WE'RE TAKING NO ACTION ON NUMBER THREE.

WE'LL GO TO ITEM FOUR.

CAN I'M SORRY, CAN I ASK, SO WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE, 'CAUSE A LOT OF THESE PEOPLE LIKE LONG SUBDIVISION, THESE AREN'T REALLY DEVELOPERS.

THESE ARE JUST LANDOWNERS.

IT'S NOT REALLY A SUBDIVISION BUT I KNOW SO WHAT YOU SAY GOING AND AND LOOKING AT THE WELL LOGS AND THE VICINITY.

I ALREADY KNOW THIS AREA.

SO, BUT I MEAN AS FAR AS TAKING THE DATA SET THAT'S, THAT'S THERE WITH THE REGULATORY ENTITY, I KNOW YOU CAN GO AND GET THOSE, THAT DATA FROM THOSE WALL WELL BORES.

THEY CAN TELL YOU WHAT I CAN TELL YOU WHERE WATER IS AND WHERE WATER AIN.

WHAT BUT THEY'RE NOT, I MEAN, BUT MY, FROM MY COMMON SENSE PERSPECTIVE, SOMEONE WHO IS IN THE OR HAS BEEN IN THAT BUSINESS BEFORE TELLS ME THAT THERE, THERE'S WATER THERE BECAUSE THERE'S WELLS ADJACENT TO IT THAT ARE GOOD WELLS.

THAT'S CREDIBLE EVIDENCE TO ME ALL AROUND UNTIL WE'RE TOLD DIFFERENTLY.

YEAH, I THINK SO BECAUSE IF WE GET THEM TO WRITE A LETTER, YOU EVER GONNA DRILL THAT? WELL, NOT WELL.

IS THAT OKAY? BECAUSE WE'VE ONLY HAD FOUR GROUNDWATER DONE.

WHO WAS GONNA BE THE PERSON THAT SAYS IT'S CREDIBLE? IT'D BE THE, THE WATER.

WELL HE KNOWS WHERE THERE'S WATER SURE.

AND WHETHER THERE'S NOT.

OKAY, THANK YOU.

WE GET THE WELL GUY TO WRITE A LETTER.

I THINK THAT'D BE PERFECT.

MAYBE THEN THEY'RE ON THE LINE THOUGH, RIGHT? NOT NECESSARILY.

THEY'RE SAYING THEY'RE SAYING WATER BECAUSE THAT HAS HAPPENED.

THAT'S TRUE.

BUT THEY'RE JUST SAYING IT'S IN THAT VICINITY.

IT WOULD BE WE GO OUT AND DRILL A WELL WHERE THEY KNEW THERE WASN'T RIGHT ANY POSSIBILITY? YEAH, THERE'S CERTAIN AREAS THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TAKE NO ACTION ON NUMBER THREE.

ITEM EIGHT, APPROVE THE WAIVER FOR GROUNDWATER STUDY FOR DAVIDSON GARDENS AND PRECINCT THREE.

[9.C.8. PRECINCT 3 ]

SO THEY HAVE AN EXISTING, WELL WHY THEY NEED A GROUNDWATER STUDY.

I WAS TOLD BY THE UPPER TRINITY THAT GROUNDWATER STUDIES WERE NEEDED FOR EVERYTHING INCLUDING EXISTING WELLS.

UH, YOU KNOW, UH, I WAS TOLD LAST WEEK, EVEN ON, UH, GRINGER RANCH, OR I'M SORRY, IT'S NOT GRIMER RANCH, IT IS, UH, DRIFTWOOD THAT IF THEY REALIGN THE LOT LINES TO MAKE THOSE, EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE PREVIOUSLY APPROVED FOR WELLS, THAT THEY WILL NO LONGER BE, YOU KNOW, THEY WILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH A STUDY.

SO, SO WE CAN FALL BACK TO THE SAME DEAL.

HERE AGAIN, THIS IS A VERY SMALL, UH, 2.36 ACRES.

I, I THINK AS LONG AS WE HAVE DOCUMENTATION THAT SHOWS THERE, IT'S ALREADY PRODUCING WATER AND THEY COULD PROBABLY EVEN SHOW WHAT IT'S PRODUCING PER MINUTE.

SO I GUESS WE'LL TAKE NO ACTION ON, UH, AGENDA ITEM C EIGHT THERE.

SO REAL QUICK, SO ON, ON A SITUATION LIKE THIS WHERE THERE'S ONE, A SIMPLE STATEMENT FROM THE OWNER THAT'S, THAT'S DONE A CALCULATION ON GALLONS PER MINUTE WE THINK WOULD BE SUFFICE.

WOULD SUFFICE THIS YOU THINK? I THINK YOU EVER PUT THAT WELL IN PROBABLY COULD GIVE 'EM THAT DOCUMENTATION.

WELL DRILL WOULD YOU THINK? YEAH.

SO WE'RE NOT FALLING BACK ON A STATEMENT.

WE'RE FALLING BACK ON A WELL, WELL, AUGUST STATE HOW MANY GALLONS IT MAKE? YES SIR.

SO AND, AND WE'RE JUST TRYING TO GET A DOCUMENT TO PLACE WITH OUR PAPERWORK TO SHOW THAT WE NO, I UNDERSTAND.

I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE I WAS UNDERSTANDING IT CORRECTLY.

BECAUSE DOUG, DOUG IS TELLING US ON ALL THESE THAT UH, WE HAVE TO HAVE THAT.

HAS HE GIVEN US ANY RECOMMENDATIONS? DOUG SHAW, HAS HE GIVEN US ANY RECOMMENDATIONS ON WHAT CREDIBLE EVIDENCE MIGHT LOOK LIKE PRIOR TO TCEQ? NO.

NO, BECAUSE IF, IF I'M, IF I'M PUTTING MY DEVIL'S ADVOCATE HAT ON, THE PESSIMIST IN ME WOULD SAY, WELL, YEAH, OF COURSE THE WELL GUY'S GONNA SAY THERE'S WATER THERE.

'CAUSE IT'S, YOU KNOW, THERE'S THE INCENTIVE.

THE, THE, IT'S HIS BUSINESS.

AND I UNDERSTAND THERE'S GOOD REASONS WHY WE, WE CAN LISTEN TO THAT.

BUT JUST FROM A PROTECTING OURSELVES FROM A TRANSPARENCY STANDPOINT, DON'T THEY HAVE TO REPORT IT WHEN THE WELL'S DRILLED? YEAH.

AND, AND THE WELL GUY'S NOT GONNA SAY THERE'S WATER THERE IF HE KNOWS THAT THERE'S NOT WATER THERE.

BUT DON'T THEY HAVE TO REPORT THE, THE GALLONS PER MINUTE? OH, IT'S ON THE WELL LOG ON THE LOG.

A SCENARIO WHERE SOMEONE HAS 10 ACRES, THEY'RE GONNA PUT IT INTO FIVE TWO ACRE TRACKS.

THEY TURN INTO THE STATE.

TURN IN.

THAT'S TWO DIFFERENT POINTS.

YOU'RE SAYING IF HE'S, YOU'RE REFERENCING IF HE'S MAKING A STATEMENT, WATER'S MOST LIKELY THERE FROM THE AREA AROUND WHAT YOU'RE MENTIONING IS THERE'S AN EXISTING WELL THERE THAT WAS ALREADY DRILLED AND WE HAVE THE LOSS FROM THAT EXISTING.

WELL, YEAH, I GUESS I'M, I'M PICTURING

[02:55:01]

THERE'S NOT A WELL ALREADY THERE.

WE'RE JUST GONNA HAVE TO GO, I GUESS TO ONE OF THE SURROUNDING WELLS THE CLOSEST WELL AND SEE WHAT THAT WELL SAYS.

IS THAT WHAT WE'RE SAYING? I THINK WHAT WE SAID, THE WAY I HEARD IT EARLIER IS WE CAN GO TO THE WELL DRILLER WHO HAS DRILLED WELLS IN THAT AREA AND SAY THERE ARE, HERE ARE WELLS SURROUNDING THIS PROPERTY AND THERE'S WHAT THEY PRODUCE.

AND ONE COULD DEDUCE FROM THAT.

THERE'S MOST LIKELY WATER.

YOU MAY HAVE TO GET THE RECORDS SOMEWHERE.

TRACK BECAUSE THERE'S WELLS ALL AROUND.

IT'S JUST SO MORE, IF WE DO THAT, IT, IT MIGHT BEHOOVE US TO SET SOME KIND OF GROUND RULES OF HOW RECENT HAS THAT WELL BEEN DRILLED.

'CAUSE IF WE'RE LOOKING AT DATA THAT'S, YOU KNOW, 20 YEARS OLD OR WHATEVER, THAT'S, THAT'S PROBABLY NOT, I, I WOULD SAY THAT A PESSIMIST WOULD BE ABLE TO ARGUE THAT'S NOT CREDIBLE PRETTY QUICK.

UM, IT'S JUST WHAT, WHAT'S THE WINNING SIDE? SO THERE, THERE'S ALWAYS A, A SIDE TO EACH STORY.

THAT'S WHY THERE'S ALWAYS LITIGATION.

THE WINNING SIDE'S GONNA BE ONE THAT'S MORE CREDIBLE.

SO IF SOMEONE COMES IN AND WE KNOW IT'S A DRY AREA AND THEY'RE SAYING THEY'RE GETTING 60 GALLONS PER MINUTE, AND WE KNOW THAT'S NOT TRUE FOR THAT AREA, YOU KNOW, WE'D LOSE THAT ONE.

WE NEED TO HAVE SOME CREDIBLE EVIDENCE, CREDIBLE DOCUMENTATION PRESENTED TO US, WHICH IS GONNA BE THOSE LOGS FOR THOSE AREAS BECAUSE THAT'S GONNA SHOW THE CURRENT DATA.

THOSE LOGS ARE UPDATED OFTEN.

GEORGE, WHAT DO YOU MEAN UPDATED? WELL, ONCE YOU TURN, WHENEVER THE, WELL, WHENEVER THE WELL'S DRILLED, THEY, THE WELL'S DRILLED ONLY.

SO IF WE'RE IN AN AREA WHERE THE WELL HASN'T BEEN, WELL, WELL 30 DAYS TO TURN THAT LOG IN.

FROM THE DATE THAT THEY DRILL IT.

SO IF THE MOST RECENT, WELL IN THAT AREA IS 10 YEARS OLD, DO WE WANNA CALL THAT CREDIBLE? I WOULD.

WELL, AND UNLESS IT'S IN A DRY AREA, THAT'S HIT AND MISS.

WELL, THE REASON I HE'S TALKING ABOUT THAT IS THERE'S SOME, THERE WAS A PLA BACK TO WIT EARLIER WHERE WE KNOW IT'S HIT AND MISS.

WELL WIT, UH, THAT'S A BAD AREA.

I, I CAN TELL YOU RIGHT OFF.

MM-HMM, , YOU MIGHT HIT A DRY HOLE OUT THERE ANYWHERE.

YOU DRILL AROUND WIT TWO GALLONS A MINUTE.

PERSONALLY, I WOULD, I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE MR. SHAW KIND OF TO WHAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT EARLIER, COMMISSIONER, I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE HIM.

I, I UNDERSTAND THAT THEY ARE VERY HESITANT TO MAKE DEFINITE PROCLAMATIONS, BUT I WOULD LOVE TO GET HELP FROM HIM ON SOME TYPE OF GRADING SYSTEM OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT WHERE HE'S, HE'S NOT SAYING IT'S OKAY, BUT HE'S GIVING US SOME TYPE OF FEEDBACK OF, HEY, THIS IS ONE THAT I DON'T CARE IF THAT WELL IS TWO WEEKS OLD, YOU HAVE TO HAVE A STUDY DONE HERE.

'CAUSE IT'S SO HIT OR MISS VERSUS THE CLOSEST, WELL COULD BE 25 YEARS OLD, BUT WE KNOW THERE'S TONS OF WATER THERE.

UH, JUST WITHOUT, WITHOUT THAT, I THINK WE'RE, WE'RE PUTTING OURSELVES AT A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF RISK.

UM, YEAH, THAT'S, I GUESS ALL I HAVE TO SAY ON THAT.

THERE IS, THERE IS NO DEFINITION.

SO YEAH.

THE PROBLEM'S GONNA BE IS JUST LOOKING AT, YEAH, WE'RE GONNA, THE DOCUMENTATION IS OUT THERE AND THAT'S, THAT'S KINDA WHAT THE OPPORTUNITY GROUNDWATER DISTRICT DOES, IS THEY LOOK AT THE DOCUMENTATION AND I, I GUESSING IF WE TAKE THE RISK HAT OFF, PART OF IT IS WE OWE IT TO OUR CONSTITUENTS AND THE RESIDENTS TO DO THE VERY BEST WE CAN.

I'D LOVE TO GET MR. SHAW MORE INVOLVED SO THAT WE CAN LOOK THEM IN THE EYES IF WE'RE STANDING ON THEIR FRONT PORCH OR AT CHURCH OR WHATEVER, AND TELL THEM, HEY, WE GOT THE EXPERT INVOLVED AND THIS IS WHAT THEY SAID.

SO I THINK AT THE END OF THE DAY, WE'RE NOT GUARANTEEING ANYBODY'S GONNA HAVE ANY WATER.

AND UH, THE ONLY WAY TO DO THAT IS THROUGH A GROUNDWATER STUDY.

AND THAT DOESN'T GUARANTEE THAT THE ENTIRE PLA WILL HAVE WATER WHEN YOU DRILL A WELL ON YOUR LOT.

THAT STUDY IS RIGHT HERE AT THIS HOLE.

YOU BUILD BACK HERE IN THE BACK.

THAT DON'T MEAN YOU'RE GONNA HAVE WATER BACK THERE.

THAT'S CORRECT.

AND THAT'S THE PROBLEM THAT WE HAVE IS THE, SOMEBODY SAYS, WELL, THERE'S A WATER STUDY HERE, THERE'S WATER.

AND THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOUR LOT'S GONNA HAVE WATER OUT THERE WITH AIN'T NO WAY TO GUARANTEE IT REAL EASY.

YOU HAVE WATER HERE AND NOT OVER THERE.

YOU CAN TAKE IT ANOTHER STEP.

AND WHAT IF I'M GONNA DO THE DEVELOPMENT WHERE WE'RE ONLY CATCHING OUR WATER, YOU KNOW? GO ONE MORE STEP AS FAR AS DEVELOPMENT GOES.

LET'S SAY WE'RE ULTRA CONSERVATIVE AND THAT'S HOW WE'RE PLANNING THIS DEAL.

YOU KNOW, SO THAT'S JUST SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.

LIKE YOU'RE ONLY CATCHING RAINWATER.

THERE MAY BE SOME DEALS COMING ALONG LIKE THAT.

WHAT IF I WANT TO DO A DEVELOPMENT AND I DON'T EVEN PLAN ON DRILLING A WELL, BUT I, BUT I WANT TO HAVE A FEW, LOTS ON MY DEVELOPMENT, HAVE TIME WITH LESS THAN TWO ACRES.
