Jun 10, 2024 Commissioners Court

TO ITEM FOUR ON CONSENT AGENDA UNDER ITEM A, ITEMS ONE OR ITEMS TWO, THREE AND FOUR.

LET'S PRAY.

HEAVENLY FATHER, WE COME BEFORE YOU ASKING FOR ALL WISDOM AND ALL KNOWLEDGE.

LORD, AS WE LAY EVERY ITEM OF THIS AGENDA AT YOUR FEET, WE JUST ASK THAT YOU WOULD GIVE US THE WISDOM THAT WE NEED TO MAKE THE RIGHT DECISIONS FOR THIS COUNTY, FOR THE PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTY, FOR THE COMPANIES OF THIS COUNTY.

GOD, WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR BLESSING UPON THIS COUNTY AND THE PEOPLE.

LORD, WE ASK THAT YOU WOULD REIGN SUPREME OVER ALL ELSE.

IN JESUS' NAME WE PRAY THESE.

AMEN.

MY LEDGE ALLEGIANCE.

SO FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE WITH LIBERTY, JUSTICE FOR ALL, HONORING THE TEXAS FLAG.

I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TWO, BE TEXAS ONE, SAY UNDER GOD, ONE AND INDIVISIBLE.

WE'LL MOVE

[4. CONSENT]

ITEM B, TREASURER ITEMS ONE AND THREE UNDER COUNTY JUDGE ITEMS ONE, TWO, AND THREE.

AND I BELIEVE, BRIANNA, YOU HAVE SOMETHING YOU WANNA TALK ABOUT.

UM, I JUST WANTED TO BRING A COUPLE ITEMS TO YOUR, UM, ATTENTION UNDER, UH, AUDITOR CONSENT UNDER NUMBER TWO, LINE ITEM LINEEN, ITEM BUDGET ADJUSTMENTS.

UM, THE DA IS ASKING TO TRANSFER FUNDS TO ADD A COUNTY OWNED CELL PHONE, UM, AND MONTHLY PLAN.

UM, IT'S BEEN MANY YEARS AGO THAT, UM, WE NO LONGER HAVE, UM, COUNTY OWNED CELL PHONES.

IT'S GONE TO A CELL PHONE ALLOWANCE.

AND SO I DID REACH OUT TO ASK WHY THERE'S THE REQUEST TO ADD A COUNTY OWNED CELL PHONE.

AND SO IT'S PRIMARILY FOR, UM, THE VICTIM ASSISTANCE COORDINATOR.

UM, A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT THEY'RE COMMUNICATING WITH, UM, THEIR PREFERRED METHOD OF COMMUNICATION IS THROUGH TEXT MESSAGE.

UM, SOME OF 'EM DON'T HAVE EMAIL ADDRESSES.

UM, AND SO WHY THEY DON'T WANT TO DO A CELL PHONE ALLOWANCE IS BECAUSE THEY DON'T, UM, REALLY WANT THE PERSON FEELING COMFORTABLE COMMUNICATING ON THEIR PERSONAL CELL PHONE, UM, WITH A CELL PHONE ALLOWANCE.

UM, IT'S KIND OF THE UNDERSTANDING AFTER HOURS SOMETIMES ON WEEKENDS THAT YOU'RE AVAILABLE, UM, BECAUSE YOU'RE RECEIVING THAT ALLOWANCE.

AND SO THIS WOULD BE, THE PHONE WOULD BE KEPT IN THE OFFICE.

IT WOULD NOT BE, UM, YOU KNOW, TAKEN HOME WITH THIS INDIVIDUAL.

SO IF, UH, THE BUDGET ADJUSTMENT IS APPROVED, THEN THEY WILL PROCEED WITH OBTAINING THAT PHONE AS WELL AS THE MONTHLY PLAN.

BUT AGAIN, BECAUSE WE DON'T CURRENTLY HAVE ANY COUNTY OWNED CELL PHONES, I JUST WANTED TO BRING THAT ONE TO YOUR ATTENTION.

WHAT'S, YOU HAVE ANOTHER ONE AND THEN YES.

UNDER PAYMENT OR ROUTINE BILLS.

UH, THIS WAS AN ITEM THAT WAS BROUGHT BEFORE THE COURT LAST YEAR, UM, FOR, UH, TO WAIVE THE PURCHASING POLICY.

IF YOU ARE NOT TRAVELING MORE THAN 50 MILES, UM, THE COUNTY POLICY DOES NOT PAY FOR OVERNIGHT, UM, A HOTEL ROOM.

UM, AND SO LAST YEAR, UH, THE FOUR H, UM, AG EXTENSION AGENT YOU ALL HAD APPROVED FOR HER TO, UM, PER SAY OVERNIGHT I DECATUR, UH, FOR THE DISTRICT, UM, THREE FOUR H TOUR SHOW.

AND SHE IS REQUESTING THAT AGAIN.

SO WE HAVE A TRAVEL ADVANCE, UM, IN THIS COURT.

AND THEN THE ACTUAL, UM, SHOW IS JUNE 19TH THROUGH THE 21ST.

AND SO AFTER THAT TIME, IT WOULD ALSO BE THE, UM, SUBMITTING BEFORE YOU ALL THE HOTEL BILL.

AND SO AGAIN, UM, IT WAS APPROVED LAST YEAR IF YOU HAVE, YOU KNOW, ANY QUESTIONS.

BUT I WANTED TO BRING THAT TO YOUR ATTENTION SINCE IT'S BEEN SUBMITTED.

AGAIN, I THINK THERE WERE SOME REASONS BECAUSE THEY HAD TO GET UP EARLY AND YES.

BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, SOMETHING OF THAT NATURE.

CORRECT.

UM, SHE SERVES AT AS THE SUPERINTENDENT FOR THE HORSE SHOW, WHICH REQUIRES EARLY ARRIVAL AND LATE EVENINGS.

UM, SO JUST THE TRAVELING, YOU KNOW, BACK AND FORTH AND BEING THERE, UM, AVAILABLE FOR THE FOUR H PARTICIPANTS.

SO I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT NUMBER 10 ON THE SHEET WE'VE GIVEN HERE THE SUMMARY OF LINE ITEM BUDGET.

BUDGET ADJUSTMENTS.

THAT WOULD BE THE, UH, J-J-A-E-P? YES.

THE AMOUNT OF $361,410.

UM, SO WHEN THE BUDGET WAS APPROVED, I THINK THE ACTUAL BUDGET ESTABLISHED THING, THE J-J-A-E-P AND THE AMOUNT WAS APPROVED, UM, I THINK RIGHT BEFORE THE BUDGET WAS ADOPTED.

YES, WE WERE SENT AT LAST MINUTE.

IS BECAUSE OF ALL THE DIFFERENT ITEMS, WE, THIS IS A NEW FUND, UM, NEW GL ACCOUNTS, AND SO WE REALLY WANTED TO SIT DOWN AND MAKE SURE WE KNEW WHERE, WHERE IT WAS BEST OR APPROPRIATE OR IF THERE'S REPORTING TO THE STATE, UM, HOW WE WERE GONNA SET UP THOSE GL ACCOUNTS.

AND IT WAS SOMETHING OVER $800,000, I BELIEVE.

THAT'S CORRECT.

AND SO WHAT WE DID

[00:05:01]

SO WHAT WE DID IS WE PUT THE WHOLE BUDGET JUST IN A PROGRAM CONTINGENCY.

AND NOW WE'RE ACTUALLY, WE'VE CREATED THE GL ACCOUNTS AND WE'RE JUST ALLOCATING THE ORIGINAL BUDGET THAT WAS APPROVED IN TWO THESE.

SO WHAT IS THIS $361,000 TO BE USED FOR? BECAUSE THERE'S ONLY LIKE FOUR MONTHS LEFT AND END YEAR, UM, RIGHT.

SO, AND SCHOOL'S NOT IN SESSION.

UH, LAST WEEK, I BELIEVE THE J-J-A-E-P DIRECTOR STARTED.

UM, AND SO IT'S SALARY FOR THAT INDIVIDUAL.

UM, I BELIEVE THAT THERE'S ANOTHER, AND DON'T WANNA MISSPEAK, BUT I BELIEVE THERE WAS ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL THAT, UM, IS GONNA BE TRANSFERRING OVER THERE.

SO IT'S SALARY, UM, INSURANCE, FICA, ALL OF THOSE TYPE OF THINGS.

UM, POSTAGE SUPPLIES, UM, FUEL AUTO REPAIR, MAINTENANCE.

UM, I KNOW THAT THEY'RE WANTING TO PURCHASE SOME, I BELIEVE SOME OFFICE FURNITURE AND THAT SORT OF THING.

AND SO THERE'S OFFICE FURNITURE, ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT, UM, TELEPHONE TRAINING, UTILITIES, UM, AN AUTOMOBILE.

SO IT WAS ALLOCATING JUST A PORTION OF WHAT WAS APPROVED.

A A ANY OF THAT THAT WOULD GO TO THE, UM, RENOVATION OF THE FACILITY THAT THEY'RE GONNA GO IN.

IS THERE ANY ALLOCATION OF THAT? UM, LET'S SEE.

IT'S GONNA HAVE TO HAVE A HOME.

I'M ON THAT BOARD WHO I OVERSEE AND ALL THAT.

WELL, IT'S JUVENILE BOARD.

AND IF WE COULD, COULD WE GET A LINE ITEM OF WHAT THOSE, CAN WE ANSWER WALDEN'S QUESTION? I MEAN, YEAH, I MEAN, I COULD WE GET A LINE ITEM CAN MAKE A COPY OF WHAT IT IS.

IT'S IN THE BUDGET ADJUSTMENTS, BUT AGAIN, IT'S JUST THE BUDGET THAT WAS SUBMITTED TO YOU ALL BEFORE, OBVIOUSLY IT'S NOT ALLOCATING THE TOTAL AMOUNT BECAUSE WE'RE, YOU KNOW, IT'S TOWARDS THE END OF THE, UH, BUDGET YEAR.

SO IT'S BUILT IN CONTINGENCIES.

AND SO, AND THAT WAS PARTIALLY, YOU KNOW, AS, UH, APPROVING IT.

AND THEN WE HAVE TO SET UP ALL THE GL ACCOUNTS AND WE KIND OF WEREN'T SURE, YOU KNOW, WITH TEACHERS ON THERE, DIFFERENT THINGS.

WOULD WE BE PAYING SOMETHING THROUGH CONTRACT SERVICES IF THERE'S AN MOU, WOULD THESE BE COUNTY EMPLOYEES? YOU KNOW, THAT SORT OF THING.

WE JUST DIDN'T SET EVERYTHING UP.

WE FIGURED WE'LL PUT IT IN A CONTINGENCY LINE AND THEN AT THE POINT IN WHICH, UM, JJAP WAS IN OPERATION, THAT WE WOULD ALLOCATE THOSE TO THE APPROPRIATE GL ACCOUNTS.

AND SO, SO WE'RE BASICALLY, CAM IN MY OFFICE, WORKED WITH ASHLEY TO SET UP THESE, UM, LINES IN THE GENERAL LEDGER.

I, I, I, I, I DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE.

I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHERE THIS MONEY'S GOING.

I WANNA KNOW WHAT THE SALARY OF THESE PEOPLE ARE, AND I WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE MONEY'S BEING SPENT FOR.

AGREED.

I'M GONNA MOVE THAT WE APPROVE THE, UH, CONSENT ITEMS WITH THE EXCEPTION OF NUMBER 10 ON THE SUMMARY OF LINE ITEM BUDGET ADJUSTMENTS.

AND I WOULD LIKE TO BRING THIS TO COURT SO THAT WE KNOW WHAT THIS MONEY IS GOING FOR.

WOULD YOU LIKE, OR WHAT'S BEING SPENT FOR, WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO CONTACT ASHLEY SO THAT WAY, WAY SHE CAN, 'CAUSE I MEAN, THE PERSON OBVIOUSLY IS, WILL BE IN THIS NEXT PAYROLL TO BE PAID.

WE HAVE HER BUDGET ESTABLISHED.

WELL JUST GIVE OUT A LINE ITEM SPECIFIC TO THIS, WHAT THE TIMELINES ARE, WHAT THOSE, WHAT THOSE COSTS ARE ON EACH LINE.

AND TO HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING, BECAUSE I'M, I'M ON THE BOARD AND THIS, I HAVEN'T SEEN THIS, SO, SO I'D LIKE INFORMATION LIKE WHAT THE SALARY IS, WHO HIRED THIS PERSON, WHERE THIS VEHICLE ALLOWANCE COMES FROM, ALL THAT KIND OF BUSINESS.

AND I'LL POINT OUT THAT LAST YEAR THERE WERE SEVEN STUDENTS, SEVEN STUDENTS THAT WERE ELIGIBLE FOR THIS PROGRAM THAT WERE MANDATORY PLACEMENTS.

AND AS I POINTED OUT LAST YEAR, WE CAN PAY THEIR TUITION TO TCU CHEAPER.

SO I'D LIKE TO HAVE AN EXPLANATION OF WHERE THIS MONEY IS BEING ALLOCATED.

WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN ON THE SECONDMENT.

COMMISSIONER CONLEY.

IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM BEFORE WE VOTE? I DO HAVE, I GOT ONE NOTE.

I THINK LAST YEAR WE HAD ALSO MENTIONED WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE A REPORT ON WHERE THESE FUNDS WERE WHEN IT GOT TO, I THINK IT WAS ABOUT $150,000.

AND THIS ONE HERE IS THREE OVER 300.

WE WENT BACK AND RAISED IT.

THESE ARE NOT EXPENDED FUNDS.

SO LAST WEEK, AS I SAID, THE UM, DIRECTOR STARTED, SO THE ONLY EXPENSES THAT HAVE BEEN INCURRED IS THEIR SALARY AND RETIREMENT.

AND THAT'S, BUT WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THEIR PLAN IS, WHAT THEIR TIMELINE IS, AND JUST THEIR, THEIR OVERALL PLAN FOR THIS AS WE PROCEED FORWARD IN PREPARATION AS IT IS OUTTA SCHOOL THAT WE'RE GOING TO, OR OBVIOUSLY THEY'RE PREPARING FOR THAT.

AND SO WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT.

HIRED DO THAT? I MEAN, THEY'RE HIRED, WE HAVE TO PAY THEM.

I DO HAVE A QUESTION.

IF WE PULL OUT THE APPROVAL AS THE MOTION STATES, DOES THAT AFFECT THE SALARY AND PAYMENT OF THE SALARY TO THIS INDIVIDUAL WE'VE JUST

[00:10:01]

SO IT'S JUST, THERE'S NO BUDGET ESTABLISHED FOR THEM.

THAT'S, THAT'S THE, THAT'S THE CONTEXT OF MY QUESTION.

HOW DOES THAT WORK? RIGHT.

JUST OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, THE DIRECTOR SALARY IS $80,000 A YEAR.

SO WHAT WE DID, WE JUST PRORATED IT THROUGH THE END OF THE FISCAL WITH BENEFITS AND EVERYTHING ALSO INCLUDED INTO THAT, UM, ALSO TO OTHER EMPLOYEES FROM JUVENILE PROBATION ARE BEING TRANSFERRED TO THE SCHOOL AS WELL.

SO IT'S ACTUALLY THREE EMPLOYEES ARE INCLUDED INTO THAT TOTAL AS WELL.

I GUESS WHAT I'M GETTING AT IS I DON'T HAVE THEIR EXACT SALARIES WHEN WE, WHEN THEIR FIRST PAYROLL COMES UP, THERE'S NOT GONNA BE ANY MONEY IN THE BUDGET TO PAY IT.

SO HOW DOES WORK 'CAUSE TO, TO, TO KEEP UP WITH THE TRUE COST OF THE SCHOOL? WE'RE CHARGING IT ALL TO THE NEW FUND THAT WAS BUILT.

SO WHETHER OR NOT THAT'S GONNA OVERDRAW THEIR FUND LINES? NO, I MEAN, AND AT THAT THE, A BUDGET WAS PROVIDED, AN AMOUNT WAS APPROVED FOR THAT FUND.

THE ONLY THING HERE IS WE DIDN'T HAVE THE GL ACCOUNTS SET UP BECAUSE WE WANTED TO UNDERSTAND IT.

SO NOW AT THE POINT IN WHICH, OKAY, WE KNEW THEY WERE GONNA DO IT, WE GOT 'EM ESTABLISHED.

SO THIS ISN'T ANYTHING CHANGING FROM WHAT YOU ALL HAVE APPROVED AT BUDGET.

YOU APPROVED THE BUDGET WITH THE DETAILS OF EVERYTHING AT THAT TIME OF ESTIMATED WHAT IT WAS GONNA COST.

AND SO THAT WAS APPROVED.

SO THIS IS US JUST ALLOCATING A PART OF THAT AMOUNT TO THE ACTUAL RESPECTIVE GL ACCOUNTS.

AND I AGREE WITH, WITH COMMISSIONER, COMMISSIONER WALDEN'S DESIRE TO HAVE BETTER CONTEXT, MORE INFORMATION.

THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT.

I ALSO DON'T WANNA HIRE SOMEONE AND THEN NOT PAY THEM.

SO THEIR FIRST PAYCHECK, ARE THEY GONNA GET PAID? I MEAN, THEY'RE GONNA GET PAID.

IT'S GONNA SHOW OVER BUDGET ON THE LINE.

BUT I WILL TRY TO CONTACT HER.

SO HOPEFULLY, UM, YEAH, JUST HAVE HER BEFORE THE END OF COURT.

WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? MOTION PASSES.

TO ITEM SIX A ON THE PRESENTATION TO ITEM A.

OKAY, WE'RE GONNA GO DOWN

[6.A. Presentation of 2023 Distinguished Service Award to Parker County Historical Commission from The Texas Historical Commission. (Teri Hubbard / Judge Deen)]

YEAH, WE HAVE YOU HERE.

UM, PRESENTATION OF 2023, DISTINGUISHED SERVICE AWARD TO PARKER COUNTY HISTORICAL COMMISSION FROM THE TEXAS HISTORICAL COMMISSION.

UH, WE DO HAVE REPRESENTATIVES, UM, YES, I DO HAVE SOME THINGS HERE.

AND PLUS A PROCLAMATION I I WANT TO GIVE AND I ALLOW YOU TO SPEAK AND THEN WE'LL APPROVE THAT AND THEN WE'LL HAVE YOU COME UP FOR A PICTURE AFTER WE READ IT.

IT'S GERS STATE YOUR NAME.

HERITAGE OF OUR BEAUTIFUL AND HISTORIC COUNT COUNTY.

TERRY HUBBARD, PRESIDENT OF THE PARKER COUNTY HISTORICAL COMMISSION.

UH, 1317 SOUTH LAMAR WEATHERFORD, TEXAS.

GOOD MORNING.

THANK YOU JUDGE DEAN AND COMMISSIONERS, OFFICERS AND STAFF FOR THE RECOGNITION THIS MORNING.

I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK BRIEFLY REGARDING THE ACTIVITIES OF THE HISTORICAL COMMISSION.

THIS COULD BE SEEN IN OUR ANNUAL REPORT FOR 2023.

WE HAD A LOADED CALENDAR LAST YEAR AND IT PROMISES TO BE EVEN MORE SO IN 2024.

IN 2023, WE RECORDED OVER 4,000 VOLUNTEER HOURS.

I'M SURE WE'LL HAVE MORE THAN THAT THIS YEAR 'CAUSE I THINK WE'RE ALREADY HALFWAY THERE.

EVEN THOUGH WE ARE SCHEDULED TO HAVE SIX MEETINGS PER YEAR IN THE ODD NUMBER OF MONTHS, WE HAVE ALREADY PASSED THAT NUMBER WITH EACH MEETING ACHIEVING A QUORUM.

IN ADDITION TO OUR REGULAR AND CALLED MEETINGS, WE'VE HAD OUR OFFICE OPEN THE SECOND SATURDAY OF EACH MONTH, RECEIVING VISITORS FROM NEAR AND FAR THIS PAST WEEK WHEN WE WERE OPEN FOR THE SHERIFF'S POSSE, WE HAD A COUPLE THAT WAS, UM, HE WAS FROM CHIHUAHUA, MEXICO AND SHE WAS FROM ECUADOR.

AND THEY, THEY SIGNED OUR DESK BOOK.

THAT WAS PRETTY COOL.

UH, AND HE, WE HAVE A PANORAMA PICTURE OF THE DOWNTOWN AREA, AND HE COULD RECOGNIZE A LOT OF THE BUILDINGS FROM 19 EARLY 19 HUNDREDS.

UM, WE WERE ALSO OPEN DURING SUNSET ON THE SQUARE AND THE SHERIFF'S POSSE STREET DANCE AND PARADE WITH A DONATION OF DRAFT FRUIT BEER AND THE MEANS TO DISPENSE IT.

WE SAW WELL OVER 100 VISITORS TO OUR OFFICE THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING OF THE PARADE IN STREET DANCE.

WE'RE GRATEFUL TO MONTANA MCMASTER OF ANTE BELLA MILL HOUSE FOR THAT DON DONATION.

WE CONTINUE TO BE GRATEFUL TO COUNTY ATTORNEY JOHN FOREST AND THE COMMISSIONER'S COURT FOR ALLOWING THE PARKER COUNTY HISTORICAL COMMISSION, THE USE OF OUR OFFICE FOR OUR MEETINGS AND OPEN HOUSES FOR THE BUDGET ALLOCATION, WHICH ALLOWS US TO CARRY OUT OUR ENDEAVORS IN CONTINUING TO SERVE OUR PURPOSE OF, UH, PROMOTING, PROTECTING AND PRESERVING THE RICH

[00:15:01]

IN ADDITION TO THE MEETINGS IN OPEN HOUSES, WE HAVE HAD HISTORICAL MARKER DEDICATIONS AND HAVE APPLIED FOR AND BEEN APPROVED FOR A COUPLE MORE.

WE'RE ALSO AWAITING THE ARRIVAL OF A MARKER FOR THE PRINCE MEMORIAL CME CHURCH, WHICH IS SCHEDULED TO ARRIVE TODAY.

ONCE THAT MARKER HAS BEEN SET A DEDICATION FOR IT, AS WELL AS THE MARKER FOR THE MOUNT PLEASANT COLORED SCHOOL WILL BE HELD.

THE MOUNT PLEASANT MARKER WAS SET DURING COVID AND NO UNVEILING CEREMONY WAS HELD DUE TO THE RESTRICTIONS OF THE TIME.

WE HAVE ALSO RECOGNIZED SEVERAL BUSINESSES THROUGH THE TEXAS TREASURER'S PROGRAM WITH THE THC.

THESE BUSINESSES HAVE CONTINUOUSLY CONTRIBUTED TO THE COUNTY'S ECONOMIC GROWTH AND HAVE BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR MORE THAN 50 YEARS.

WE ALSO HAD A RECORD NUMBER OF COMMISSION MEMBERS ATTEND THE REAL PLACES CONFERENCE HELD BY THE TEXAS HISTORICAL COMMISSION IN AUSTIN.

IN ORDER FOR ME MEMBERS TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THEIR ATTENDANCE, THEY HAVE TO GIVE A BRIEF PRESENTATION TO THE PCHC OF THE SESSIONS THEY ATTENDED.

THE EXCITEMENT THAT THEY HAD WAS EVIDENT AS THEY MADE THEIR PRESENTATIONS THIS PAST THURSDAY EVENING.

SPOUSES THAT ATTENDED WERE ALSO IMPRESSED WITH THE QUALITY OF THE CONFERENCE.

I ENCOURAGE YOU AS A COMMISSION TO TAKE A COUPLE OF DAYS OUT OF YOUR BUSY SCHEDULE TO JOIN US NEXT YEAR IN APRIL.

YOU'LL BE SURPRISED AT THE OPPORTUNITIES AND PRESENTATIONS THAT ARE PRESENTED.

ONE OF OUR OWN WAS A PRESENTER THIS PAST YEAR IN APRIL, SEVERAL OF US ATTENDED AN AREA WORKSHOP HOSTED BY JOHNSON COUNTY HISTORICAL COMMISSION, ALLOWING US TO BRAINSTORM ABOUT ISSUES CHCS ARE FACING AND NETWORK WITH SIX OTHER COMMISSIONS.

THAT DAY ENDED WITH A TOUR OF THE BEAUTIFUL JOHNSON COUNTY COURTHOUSE.

I THOUGHT OURS WAS THE MOST IMPRESSIVE, BUT THEIRS RUNS A VERY CLOSE SECOND.

WE WERE ALSO FORTUNATE IN BEING GIVEN A TOUR OF THE HISTORIC BAKER HOTEL.

THANKS TO TRACY BRUTON, ONE OF OUR MEMBERS WHOSE COUSIN IS THE PRINCIPAL INVESTOR.

WE WON'T TALK ABOUT MY RIDE UP, THE CONSTRUCTION ELEVATOR MOUNTED ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE HOTEL.

I'LL SAY THIS THOUGH, MY HEAD WAS BOWED AND MY EYES WERE CLOSED FOR THE WHOLE RIDE FROM THE THIRD FLOOR TO THE 10TH.

TO SAY I DON'T LIKE HEIGHTS IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT.

UM, I PROMISED RICH I WOULD KEEP THIS SHORT AS THE AGENDA WAS PACKED, BUT IT'S A TAD DIFFICULT WHEN WE HAVE SO MUCH GOING ON.

THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THIS RECOGNITION AND A CHANCE TO GIVE YOU A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF WHAT WE HAVE HAPPENING AT THE PARKER COUNTY HISTORICAL COMMISSION.

AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT OF ALL OF OUR ENDEAVORS.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

UM, WE DO HAVE 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 MEMBERS OF THE HISTORICAL COMMISSION HERE.

UH, THE INTENT IS TO OBVIOUSLY EVENTUALLY DEVELOP THE PROPERTY, SO CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THE PROJECT OR CONCERNS, BUT APPRECIATE, UH, APPRECIATE THE TIME HERE TO DISCUSS THIS.

DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR, OKAY, MR. MAYOR MOSS, WOULD YOU LIKE TO SAY ANYTHING? ANYTHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO COMMENT? JUDGE, THANK YOU.

JUST THOUGHT I WOULD ASK .

I'VE NEVER SEEN HIM WHERE HE WOULDN'T TALK A LITTLE.

I KNOW.

I'M SHOCKED AT THIS .

HE LIKES SHORT MEETINGS.

IS THERE ANY, ANY DISCUSSION, ANY QUESTIONS? UM, IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE THAT YOU, ON THIS PARTICULAR ITEM, SIR, WE HAVE, UH, STACY RICH WITH, UH, LEGACY REAL ESTATE.

THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME.

AND COME DO HAVE ONE THING TO SAY, JUDGE.

WE ARE GONNA GO BACK TO ITEM D ONE ON INTERDEPARTMENTAL TRANSFERS EQUIPMENT INVENTORY REPORTS.

THANK YOU SIR.

[00:25:01]

UH, KIM, DO WE HAVE ANY? HEY, JUDGE.

SORRY, I SHOULD HAVE TOLD YOU EARLIER.

YES, YOU SHOULD HAVE HAVE, GO AHEAD AND HAVE A SEAT.

WE'RE GONNA MOVE

[7.B. Discuss/Take action on requesting Commissioners Court to draft a letter of concern to TxDOT, RTC, and NCTCOG regarding FM 51 and the need for improvements and funding for safety. (Commissioner Conley / Commissioner Holt)]

DOWN TO SEVEN B.

UM, PER COMMISSIONER HOLT, IF I DIDN'T GIVE YOU A HARD TIME, I'D BE REMISS IN THAT, UH, I UNDERSTAND THERE'S SOME REPRESENTATIVES HERE THAT WOULD LIKE TO, UH, OR HERE FOR THIS ITEM UNDER SEVEN B DISCUSS, TAKE ACTION ON REQUESTING COMMISSIONER'S COURT TO DRAFT A LETTER OF CONCERN TO TEXDOT RTC, REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION COUNCIL NOR CENTRAL TEXAS COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS REGARDING FM 51 AND THE NEED FOR IMPROVEMENTS AND FUNDING FOR SAFETY.

UH, COMMISSIONER CONNOLLY, IT HAS YOUR NAME.

IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO OPEN UP WITH ON THIS? UH, COMMISSIONER HOLTON? I BOTH WANNA STRESS THE, THE NEED TO GET 51 FROM WEATHERFORD TO SPRINGTOWN WIDEN BECAUSE OF ALL THE ACCIDENTS AND DEATHS.

AND SO WE NEED TO WRITE THIS LETTER IF YOU WANT TO ADD SOME MORE TO THAT.

UH, SURE.

FM 51 HAS HAD A NUMBER OF FATALITIES, UM, A A UNACCEPTABLE NUMBER OF FATALITIES AND SOME AS, AS RECENTLY AS WITHIN THE PAST TWO WEEKS.

IT'S SOMETHING THAT CONTINUES TO OCCUR.

THERE ARE AN ENORMOUS NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT TRAVEL THAT ROAD.

TXDOT IS IN THE PROCESS OF MAKING SOME SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS.

WE'RE TRYING TO COLLABORATE WITH THAT, SUCH AS DOING THE RIGHT OF WAY AND SURVEY WORK ON THE CARTER ROAD INTERSECTION TO TRY TO GET THAT BROADENED SO THAT THERE'S LESS LINE OF SIGHT ISSUES.

BUT THE ROAD AS A WHOLE NEEDS A SERIOUS SAFETY IMPROVEMENT AND THAT IMPROVEMENT NEEDS TO BE EXPEDITED TO THE GREATEST EXTENT POSSIBLE.

AND I'D, I'D, I'D CALL BACK TO THE WORK THAT THIS COMMISSIONER'S COURT DID SEVERAL YEARS AGO WHERE WE RECOGNIZED, AND I SAY WE, I WAS NOT ON THE COURT AT THE TIME.

WE RECOGNIZED THE DIRE NEED FOR I 20 TO BE EXPANDED SOONER RATHER THAN LATER.

AND WE RECOGNIZED THAT ON TEXT DOTS THEN CURRENT PLANS, THAT PROCESS WAS GOING TO TAKE PLACE WAY TOO FAR OUT IN THE FUTURE.

WHAT I'M ASKING IS FOR US TO USE EVERY TOOL IN OUR TOOLBOX TO GET THOSE IMPROVEMENTS TO FM 51, WHICH I UNDERSTAND FROM TXDOT, THEY'RE ESTIMATING IT'LL BE A NINE FIGURE PROJECT.

THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY, BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF LIVES AT STAKE.

THERE'S NO SIGNS WHATSOEVER THAT THAT WILL DECREASE.

IN THE MEANTIME, WE HAVE THINGS LIKE A POTENTIAL EVENT VENUE GOING IN THAT'S 7,000 CEDAR, UH, A 7,000 SEAT EVENT VENUE AT A LOCATION WHERE THERE'S BEEN MULTIPLE FATALITIES RECENTLY THAT THINGS LIKE THAT DON'T MAKE SENSE TO ME.

SO WE NEED TO LEVERAGE EVERY TOOL POSSIBLE TO PUT AS MUCH STRESS ON TEXDOT AND THE OTHER AGENCIES INVOLVED TO GET THESE IMPROVEMENTS PUT IN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

JUST TO CLARIFY, UM, COUNSEL, HAS THERE BEEN ANY DRAFTING OF ANY LETTERS SO FAR TODAY? 'CAUSE I KNOW WE TALKED ABOUT THIS SPECIFIC TO THE EVENT CENTER.

THERE WERE LETTERS SENT TO T-A-B-C-T-C-Q, BUT NOTHING MORE THAN THAT.

NOTHING MORE JUST FOR THOSE THOSE, OKAY.

I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE.

YEAH, THIS IS RELATED TO THE EVENT CENTER, BUT IT'S ALSO SEPARATE FROM THE UNDERSTAND THIS IS, THIS IS A HIGHER LEVEL, RIGHT.

NOT JUST LOOKING AT THAT ONE INTERSECTION, BUT WE NEED TO EXPEDITE THE ENTIRE ISSUE OF WEATHERFORD ALL THE WAY TO SPRINGTOWN.

GETTING THAT AREA, GETTING THAT ENTIRE SECTION REDONE AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE AND PUT AS MUCH PRESSURE AS WE CAN ON STATE AUTHORITIES TO BRING THAT TIMELINE UP AS FAST AS POSSIBLE.

UNDERSTOOD.

ANY, ANY OTHER COMMENTS ON THIS ITEM? I WOULD ASK FOR A MOTION THEN.

WELL, THERE MAY BE SOME IN THE AUDIENCE THAT, WELL, I, I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT.

IS THERE ANYONE HERE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? I SAW MR. AND MRS. WILKINSON HERE EARLIER.

I DON'T KNOW IF THEY STEPPED OUT AND WE HAVE SPOKEN TO THEM ABOUT THIS IN DEPTH.

UM, COUNTY ATTORNEY, MYSELF.

UM, WE DO UNDERSTAND THE SCOPE OF WHAT THEY WANT.

IF THEY, IF THEY DID STEP OUT OR DID LEAVE, WE, WE CERTAINLY HAVE TALKED WITH THEM IN DEPTH ABOUT THIS.

UM, IS THERE ANYONE ELSE HERE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? I THINK WE UNDERSTAND THE GRAVITY OF THIS SITUATION, COMMISSIONER HOLT, UH, AND THE URGENCY AND THE NEED.

AND I'M COMPLETELY ON BOARD WITH THAT AND WE'LL GET THIS DONE.

COMMISSIONER HOL HAS MADE THE MOTION, COMMISSIONER CONLEY'S MADE THE SECOND.

ON INTERDEPARTMENTAL TRANSFER.

OH, WE WILL MOVE BACK TO ITEM

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

D ONE, UH,

[00:30:01]

KIM, IF YOU WOULD.

SO WE DID HAVE SEVERAL INTERDEPARTMENTAL TRANSFERS, INCLUDING SOME COMPUTERS, RADIOS, A LEAF BLOWER FURNITURE, AND A COUPLE OF VEHICLES THAT WERE TRANSFERRED BETWEEN DEPARTMENTS.

AND THEY HAVE BEEN, UM, PRESENTED TO THE CLERKS FOR THE MINUTES FOR THE RECORD.

HAVE A SECOND.

COMMISSIONER S MADE THE SECOND.

ANY OF THE DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? MOTION PASSES.

GOOD.

ITEM D TWO, DISCUSS, TAKE ACTION NECESSARY REGARDING TAC PROPERTY COVERAGE INSURANCE RENEWAL FOR 2025, KIM.

SO I RECEIVED, UH, CORRESPONDENCE FROM TEXAS ASSOCIATION OF COUNTIES REGARDING OUR PROPERTY, UM, COVERAGE RENEWAL.

AND WE ARE IN AN APPRAISAL YEAR.

AND SO THAT'S WHEN THEY COME OUT AND APPRAISE ALL THE BUILDINGS AND WE GET NEW VALUES AND THEY ADJUST OUR CONTRIBUTION RATES BASED ON THE VALUE OF THE BUILDINGS AND DOING THE APPRAISALS AND LOOKING AT OUR LIST, UM, IT WAS MADE, BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT THIS BUILDING HAS ALWAYS JUST BEEN, UM, COVERED AS A REPLACEMENT VALUE COVERAGE INSTEAD OF HISTORICAL VALUE.

AND THE DIFFERENCE IN BETWEEN THE TWO, UM, TYPES OF COVERAGE IS A REPLACEMENT COST VALUE IS COST TO REPAIR THE REBUILD OR REPLACE WITH NEW MATERIALS OF LIKE SIZE, KIND, AND QUALITY.

HISTORICAL VALUE COST VALUE IS A COST TO REPAIR, REBUILD, OR REPLACE WITH MATERIALS OF LIKE SIZE, KIND AND QUALITY COMPATIBLE TO THOSE ORIGINALLY USED, INCLUDING THE COST OF SKILLED LABOR AND AUTHENTIC MATERIAL NECESSARY TO RESTORE THE PROPERTY AS NEARLY AS POSSIBLE TO ITS ORIGINAL CONDITION.

THE DIFFERENCE IN LAST YEAR'S CONTRIBUTION FOR COUNTYWIDE PROPERTY COVERAGE AND WHAT THE 2025 VALUE WOULD BE OR, OR CONTRIBUTION AMOUNT WOULD BE IF WE LEFT IT AS WE HAVE BEEN ALL THESE YEARS, WOULD BE A 25% INCREASE, WHICH IS APPROXIMATELY, UH, FROM 189,000 UP TO $236,000.

IF WE CHANGED THIS BUILDING TO HISTORIC VALUE COST, IT WOULD INCREASE THE OVERALL CONTRIBUTION 30 TO 40% DEPENDING ON THE, THE, THE, UH, FINAL REPORT ON THE APPRAISAL OF ALL THE BUILDINGS, WHICH WOULD MAKE IT $264,000 TOTAL.

AND SO I JUST WANTED TO BRING THIS TO THE COURT AND LET THE COURT DETERMINE WHICH, WHICH METHOD THAT WE WANT TO ENSURE THIS BUILDING UNDER WHAT TIMEFRAME DO WE HAVE TO MAKE THAT DECISION? UM, I DON'T KNOW THAT ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION.

IT'S NOT TODAY.

IT COULD BE, I'M SURE BROAD.

WELL, WE'LL KNOW MORE ABOUT IN AN EXACT AMOUNT ONCE THE APPRAISALS ARE ALL DONE.

SO I FEEL LIKE WE CAN WAIT TILL THEN.

BUT THEY JUST WANTED TO BRING THAT TO MY ATTENTION AND I WANTED TO LET YOU ALL KNOW THAT THAT'S A HUGE DECISION AND ONE THAT THE COURT SHOULD DETERMINE.

ANYTHING ELSE, KIM? ANY COMMENT? ANY OTHER COMMENTS ON THIS ITEM? DO WE WANT TO WHERE YOU'RE GOING WITH YOUR COMMENTS? COMMISSIONER, DO YOU WANT TO TAKE NO ACTION ON THIS? WELL, NO, I, I, I MEAN I THINK WE NEED TO WAIT UNTIL WE HAVE THE FINAL INFORMATION AND ALSO BECOMES A BUDGETARY ITEM AS WELL AS WELL.

I DO HAVE A QUESTION.

I, I WOULD ASSUME THAT GIVEN THE BUYING POWER OF TAC AND THE FACT THAT THE, AS A COUNTY SERVICE, SO TO SPEAK, PROBABLY DO THIS QUITE A BIT.

ARE YOU COMFORTABLE THAT THIS IS THE BEST INSURANCE PROVIDER FOR THIS SPECIFIC RISK OR DO YOU SEE ANY NEED TO, I MEAN, THIS IS A LARGE INCREASE.

DO YOU THINK THERE'S ANY VIABILITY OR, OR NEED TO SHOP FOR STANDALONE COVERAGE FOR THIS BUILDING? ONLY? I, I DON'T THINK THAT IT'S GONNA BE ANY DIFFERENT WITH ANY OF THE OTHER CARRIERS.

UM, IT INSURANCE IS IN GENERAL IS GONE UP.

LORDS OF LONDON IS IN CONTROL OF IT.

SO I DON'T REALLY THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, IF WE GO OUT AND SHOP THIS AND PUT OUT A NEW RFP SPECIFIC TO THIS BUILDING FOR PROPERTY OR JUST FOR PROPERTY COVERAGE IN GENERAL, WE GET A, A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT DISCOUNT BUNDLING ALL OF OUR INSURANCES.

THE WORKERS' COMP, THE PROPERTY AND THEN THE, ALL THE GENERAL LIABILITY INSURANCES.

SO IF WE WERE TO SEPARATE THIS OUT, I DON'T THINK WE WOULD, THAT DISCOUNT WOULD BE LESS OBVIOUSLY WITH TACK AND WE WOULDN'T GET THAT DISCOUNT ON THE PROPERTY FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE PROBABLY.

SO I DON'T THINK IT MAKES SENSE TO GO OUT TO, TO YOUR POINT, COMMISSIONER, WE HAVE IN THE PAST DONE THAT.

AND WE HAVE IN THE PAST HAD OTHER CARRIERS.

DO YOU KNOW OFF THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD FROM 23 WHAT THE PREMIUM WAS? APPROXIMATE? I BELIEVE IT WAS SOMEWHERE AROUND 1 50, 1 60.

DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT OUR PREMIUM WAS IN 23?

[00:35:01]

NO, JUST FOR PROPERTY.

YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.

WHAT WAS PROJECTED, RIGHT.

YEAH, THAT'S A, I WAS TRYING TO SEE KIND OF A PERCENTAGE JUMP FROM 2324 AND THEN 24 TO 25.

AND IT, YOU CAN ALSO LOOK WELL, SO YOU CAN ALSO LOOK THAT, THAT OUR DEDUCTIBLE AMOUNTS HAVE CHANGED FROM 5,000 TO, AND WE WE'LL CHANGE UP TO 25,000 MM-HMM.

FOR WE PROPOSE 50 NEXT YEAR.

SO WE'RE WAITING ON THE FINAL APPRAISAL VALUE FOR ALL OF THE BUILDINGS COUNTYWIDE.

BUT THEY'RE, THEY'RE ESTIMATING AT LEAST 25% THAT WAS WITHOUT A CHANGE TO THE METHOD THAT WE ENSURE THIS BUILDING.

SO THAT INCREASE IS TO THE PREMIUM.

AND THAT IS IN ADDITION TO THE DEDUCTIBLE INCREASE AS WELL.

DEDUCTIBLE IS GONNA CHANGE NO MATTER WHAT.

SO THANK YOU KIM.

, WE'LL TAKE NO ACTION ON ITEM TWO.

GO TO ITEM THREE.

RFP PC 24 DASH 34 MOTOR FUELS.

SO AT THE LAST COMMISSIONER'S COURT, UM, YOU ALL AUTHORIZED ME TO SEND OUT A CANCELLATION LETTER TO, UM, OFTEN PETROLEUM.

UM, THEY WERE THE, UH, AWARDED VENDOR WHEN WE ISSUED THE RFP 24 DASH 34.

UM, WE ARE IN THAT 30 DAY CANCELLATION PERIOD.

AND, UM, I, UH, SENT A NOTIFICATION LETTER OUT TO US OIL.

UM, AND THEY ARE HAPPY TO, TO BE A SERVICE TO US AGAIN.

THEY HAD SENT OUT AND HAD ALL THE MONITORS AND THE METERS UN INSTALLED FROM ALL OF YOUR TANKS WITH THE AWARDS OFTEN AND NOW, SO THEY'RE HAVING TO PUT THEM BACK ON AND THEY HAVE REQUESTED THAT THE COUNTY PAY $1,500 OF THAT APPROXIMATE $4,000 EXPENSE TO DO HOW, YOU KNOW, SEND SOMEBODY OUT TO, TO REMOVE 'EM AND THEN NOW PUT 'EM BACK ON.

UM, IT'S, IT'S A REQUEST.

IT'S NOT A DEMAND.

UM, I JUST WANTED TO BRING THAT TO THE COURT TO SEE IF YOU ALL WOULD AGREE TO PAY THAT $1,500.

IT COULD BE SPLIT FIVE WAYS BETWEEN THE FOUR PRECINCTS AND, UM, GENERAL FUND IF YOU SO CHOOSE.

UM, IS THERE ANY RECOURSE WITH THE PROVIDER THAT WE MOVED TO AND NOW WE'RE MOVING AWAY FROM IN THE CONTRACT FOR THEIR FAILURE TO PROVIDE SERVICES? WHAT DEFINE RECOURSE? LIKE, LIKE DO WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO GET THEM TO PAY FOR SOME OF THIS BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T DO WHAT THEY SAID THEY WOULD DO? NO, I DOUBT IT.

I MEAN, WELL LET ME, LET ME JUST, WE HAVE A DO HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR WITH COMMISSIONER CONLEY MAKING THE MOTION WITH A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN.

WE'RE IN THE DISCUSSION PHASE.

SO CONTINUE, I WE, YOU GET WHAT YOU NEED AND IT WOULD NOT BE, 'CAUSE WE'RE, IT, IT'S, WE CAN TERMINATE AND THE REASON WE HAVE THAT CLAUSE IN THERE WITH THE 30 DAY OUT IS WITHOUT CAUSE TO EITHER PARTY SO THEY CAN TERMINATE AS WELL.

SO THAT'S, THAT'S WHY THAT'S IN THERE.

AND THAT, THAT PROTECTS US FROM BEING STUCK IN A YEAR LONG CONTRACT.

THAT'S WHY THAT'S NEGOTIATED THAT WAY.

I GUESS I SEE IT AS WE TERMINATED WITH COSTS 'CAUSE THEY WEREN'T DOING WHAT THEY CONTRACTUALLY AGREED TO DO.

SO THIS IS AN INCURRED COST ON TAXPAYERS THAT THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE HAD THE ENTITY DONE WHAT THEY SAID THEY WOULD DO.

WELL WE CAN EXPLORE THAT, BUT OKAY.

LIKELIHOOD IT'S PROBABLY NOT, ISN'T IT, UH, POSSIBLE THAT WE CAN BUY THESE MONITORS AND NEVER HAVE TO HAVE, WE WOULDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AGAIN.

'CAUSE WE'LL ALL WE'LL OWN THOSE MONITORS.

I I CAN LOOK INTO WHAT IT WOULD COST TO BUY THEM THAT I'D HEARD RUMOR TO THAT.

YOU WOULD, THEY THEY DO THAT ON, UH, PROPANE GAS AND IF YOU, YOU CAN BUY ONE FOR A TANK WITH YOUR PROVIDER.

SO, OR LEASE YEAH.

THOSE TWO OPTIONS.

SO I WOULD IMAGINE HERE YOU COULD DO THE SAME.

I ALSO WANTED TO, YOU KNOW, THIS KIND IN THE LINES OF THIS, UM, WITH ARPA FUNDS AND SO FORTH, YOU COULD USE SOME OF THAT MONEY TO MAYBE POTENTIALLY PURCHASE LARGER FUEL TANKS SO THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE LESS LIKELY TO, TO NEED A DELIVERY ONCE WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF DOING THAT AT PRECINCT ONE.

WE'VE BEEN IN THAT PROCESS FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS.

TRYING TO GET THESE BIG TANKS.

I KNOW A LOT.

SOME, SOME OF YOU HAVE JUST 2000 GALLON TANKS OR A THOUSAND GET GALLON TANK.

THEY'RE WAY TOO LITTLE.

THEY'RE, BUT THE GROWTH OF THE COUNTY AND THE NEED OF THE, FOR PATROL AND EVERYBODY ELSE, IT JUST MAKES SENSE AND WE'VE GOT THAT MONEY IS, COULD BE USED FOR SUCH AN EXPENSE.

SO WITH THE PREVIOUS PROVIDER THAT WE'RE HEADED BACK TO THAT WE'RE GOING TO GO BACK TO, WE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEM WITH THE TANKS BEING FILLED.

HOWEVER, THE ADVANTAGE IS THAT WE CAN GET A TRANSPORT SIZE LOAD, NOT PAY AS MUCH IN DELIVERY COSTS.

A NON, THE SMALLER TRUCK LOADS.

WHEN WE, WHEN WE CAN BUY A TRANSPORT LOAD OF FUEL RATHER THAN

[00:40:01]

SO THAT'S THE ADVANTAGE OF HAVING LARGER TANKS.

GOOD POINT.

OUR MOTION IS TO, UH, WHAT'S YOUR MOTION, GEORGE? FOR THE PAY THE $1,500 TO PAY THE 1500? WE'LL SPLIT IT.

YOU KNOW, THE DISCUSSION.

ALL IN FAVOR? UH, SIR, DO YOU HAVE, OH, SORRY.

LEMME WELL, I, I JUST SAY I'M, I'LL VOTE HERE IN A SEC, BUT I WOULD APPRECIATE IF WE WOULD FOLLOW UP ON SEEING IF WE HAVE ANY RECOURSE.

AND, AND ONE, ONE PROBLEM THAT WE RUN INTO IS SINCE IT'S A DISCRETIONARY FEE THAT YOU'RE AGREEING TO PAY, YOU COULD CHOOSE NOT TO PAY THAT STILL GET SERVICES.

SO WE'RE AGREEING TO DAMAGES.

WE, THAT'S GONNA BE ONE OF THE PROBLEMS IN LOOKING INTO THAT.

'CAUSE THEY'D STILL PROVIDE THE SERVICE WITHOUT PAYING THE 1500.

THAT'S, THAT'S WHY YOU MAKE THE BIG BUCKS.

'CAUSE YOU GET TO MAKE GOOD ARGUMENTS LIKE THAT.

GO.

OTHER EMERGENCY SERVICES.

YOU IN THE DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR, PASS BY VOTE.

GOOD.

ITEM FOUR, AUTHORIZATION TO ADVERTISE RFP PC 24 DASH 45, DISASTER DEBRIS REMOVAL, REDUCTION DISPOSAL, AND OTHER VR SERVICES.

KIM, REQUESTING AUTHORIZATION, UM, TO ADVERTISE RFP PC 24 DASH 45.

UM, DISASTER DEBRIS REMOVAL, REDUCTION DISPOSAL, AND EMERGENCY.

THIS IS JUST A CONTRACT THAT WE LIKE TO HAVE AVAILABLE IN CASE OF ANY NATURAL DISASTER OR, UM, OTHER EVENT THAT WOULD HAVE A, A LARGE DEBRIS REMOVAL, UM, ISSUE.

ANYBODY, ANYTHING OVER A HUNDRED THOUSAND YARDS.

WE'VE HAD THIS IN PLACE.

UM, IF YOU DON'T HAVE THIS IN PLACE, FEMA WILL NOT REIMBURSE US AND WE CANNOT USE, UM, CO-OP CONTRACTS FOR THIS SERVICE DUE TO FEMA REIMBURSEMENT AS WELL.

SO THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE'VE NEVER HAD TO USE IN THE PAST, BUT YOU NEVER KNOW.

IT'S, IT'S JUST ONE OF THOSE NO, WE'RE HAVING ALL EIGHT.

ALL AROUND US.

ALL OVER? YES, SIR.

WE HAVE MOTION BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN.

SECOND BY COMMISSIONER COL.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? PASS FIVE.

OH, WE MOVED ITEM FIVE ON FIVE B.

NOPE.

NO, WE'LL GO BACK

[5.B. Accept/Reject/Renew TB RFQ PC24-01 On-Systems Projects Engineering Design. (Kim Rivas / Chris Bosco / Judge Deen)]

TO FIVE.

A DISCUSSION.

TAKE ACTION ON ONGOING REPORTING OF BOND PROJECTS TO COMMISSIONER OF COURT BY FREEZE AND NICHOLS.

I WOULD BE REMISS IF I SCRATCHED YOU OFF FIRST.

UH, UM, THIS, THIS, UH, CHRIS POSCO WITH FREEZER NICHOLS.

UH, SO THIS ITEM TAKES A SEC.

UH, THIS ITEM IS TO GO OVER THE PROCESS, UH, THAT THE COUNTY, UM, FOLLOWED IN ORDER TO SELECT, UH, CONSULTANTS TO SUPPORT ON THE ON SYSTEM PROJECT.

SO NOTABLY THE I 20, UH, FRONTAGE ROADS FM SEVEN 30 EXTENSION, AND THEN THE FM 1187 WIDENING PROJECT.

UH, AS I'VE MENTIONED IN PAST COURTS, UH, THERE WAS A GREAT DEAL OF INTEREST IN, UH, FROM A NUMBER OF FIRMS. UH, ONE OF THE, THE WAYS THE RFP WAS ESTABLISHED AS A FIRM COULD ELECT TO APPLY FOR ALL THREE OR ONE AT A TIME.

UH, SO WE, WE HAD SIX, UH, FIRMS SELECT TO, UH, SUBMIT STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS ON I 20, UH, EIGHT FOR FM SEVEN 30 EXTENSION, AND EIGHT FOR THE FM 1187 WIDENING.

UH, WANTED TO KIND OF HIGHLIGHT, UH, JUST THE PROCESS THAT WE WENT THROUGH.

UH, SO THE RFQ WAS ADVERTISED ON FEBRUARY 17TH AND 24TH, ALSO UPLOADED TO BONFIRE.

UH, EACH OF THE INTERESTED FIRMS SUBMITTED THEIR STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS ON MARCH 19TH.

AND AS I MENTIONED, UH, WE HAD, UH, SIX FOR I 20 AND EIGHT FOR EACH OF, UH, SEVEN 30 AND 1187.

UH, THE COURT'S, UH, SELECTION COMMITTEE, UH, INCLUDED, UH, JUDGE DEAN KIM REVIS, BRIANNA FOWLER, AND CHAD MARVI, UH, WITH THE CITY OF WEATHERFORD.

AND THEN ADDITIONALLY, UH, COMMISSIONER WALDEN PARTICIPATED ON THE I 20 FRONTAGE ROAD SELECTION COMMITTEE.

UH, COMMISSIONER HOLT PARTICIPATED ON THE FM SEVEN 30 EXTENSION PROJECT, AND COMMISSIONER HALE PARTICIPATED ON THE SELECTION OF THE FM 1187, UM, PROJECT.

SO STARTING WITH I 20, UH, THE SELECTION COMMITTEE HAD TWO MEETINGS.

ONE WAS HELD ON APRIL 2ND, A SECOND ON MAY 9TH.

UH, THAT COMMITTEE ELECTED TO AWARD, UH, OR RECOMMEND, UH, GRAHAM AND ASSOCIATES TO PROVIDE THE PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING, UH, FOR THE, UH, FRONTAGE ROAD,

[00:45:01]

UH, PROJECT.

UH, THE COMMITTEE FELT LIKE THAT THEY COULD MAKE THAT BASED ON THE SO QS, WITHOUT DOING A FURTHER INTERVIEW ON THE I 20 PROJECT ON THE FM SEVEN 30 EXTENSION, UH, THERE WAS ALSO MEETINGS HELD ON APRIL 2ND AND APRIL 25TH.

UH, THE COMMITTEE ELECTED TO, UH, CONDUCT INTERVIEWS WITH KIMLEY HORNE ASSOCIATES AND HALF AN ASSOCIATES.

UH, THE COMMITTEE MET THEN ON MAY 9TH, UH, TO KIND OF DEVELOP QUESTIONS FOR EACH OF THOSE RESPECTIVE FIRMS. UH, AND THEN CONDUCTED INTERVIEWS ON, UH, MAY 14TH.

UH, AFTER CAREFUL CONSIDERATION, THE COMMITTEE, UH, SELECTED HALF AND ASSOCIATES, UH, TO, UH, PERFORM THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES FOR THE, UH, FM SEVEN 30 EXTENSION ON 1187, UH, SIMILAR TO THE I 20 PROJECT.

THERE WAS A MEETING HELD ON APRIL 2ND AND MAY 9TH, UH, AND THE COMMITTEE ELECTED TO, UH, RECOMMEND TEON PERKINS FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES FOR THE FM 1187 WIDENING PROJECT.

UM, ONE, UH, SO WHAT WE'RE ASKING, UH, FOR TODAY IS THE COURT TO APPROVE THE COMMITTEE'S RECOMMENDATIONS, UH, FOR GRAHAM AND ASSOCIATES FOR I 20 HALF AN ASSOCIATES FOR FM SEVEN 30 AND TEGNA PERKINS FOR FM 1187.

UH, WITH YOUR APPROVAL TODAY, WE'D BEGIN THE NEGOTIATION PHASE AND THEN COME BACK AT A LATER COURT, UH, TO SEEK APPROVAL FOR, UH, AGREEING, AWARDING A CONTRACT TO EACH OF THOSE FIRMS. UH, I BELIEVE REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE FIRMS ARE HERE TODAY.

AND, UH, WITH THAT, I'LL OPEN IT UP WITH ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE.

OKAY? OKAY.

ANY OF THE FIRM RESPECTIVE FIRMS THAT HAVE BEEN DISCUSSED UP THERE AND RECOMMENDED BY THESE COMMITTEES? OR ANY, IS ANYONE HERE THAT WOULD LIKE TO COME UP REAL QUICK? NOT REAL QUICK.

JUST WOULD LIKE TO COME UP.

INTRODUCE YOURSELF, SIR.

UH, MY NAME IS BEN MAHE, UH, WITH HALF ASSOCIATES PARKER COUNTY RESIDENTS SINCE 2007.

SO THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING US TO WORK IN YOUR COMMUNITY, IN THIS COMMUNITY.

DANIEL MCCULLOUGH WITH TEAM NOLAN PERKINS.

WE'RE ABLE TO VERY MUCH.

AND THANK YOU FOR COMING.

UM, VERY EXCITED TO BE ABLE TO SERVE THE COUNTY.

BEEN WORKING ON THESE TYPES OF PROJECTS WITH TDOT AND COUNTIES FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN WITH AL? 23 YEARS.

I CAN'T REMEMBER YOU.

AND COMING IN FRONT OF US AND THOSE IN HUDSON OAKS, THAT YEAH, THAT'S, WE WORKED TOGETHER BEFORE.

YOU WERE LIKE, WHAT, 12 THEN I THINK.

YOU'RE, IT SEEMS, I I REMEMBER YOU.

THANK IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

YEAH, VERY MUCH.

I'M JOE PERKINS WITH GRAHAM ASSOCIATES.

UH, WE APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THIS PROJECT.

I'M, I'M, I DON'T LIVE IN WEATHERFORD, BUT I LIVE IN GRANBURY, SO I COME THROUGH HERE QUITE OFTEN.

SO, UH, YEAH, WE APPRECIATE ALL THE WORK THAT YOU GUYS ARE DOING FOR THE COUNTY AND WE KNOW IT'S A FAST GROWING COUNTY.

IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO COME UP? THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING AND, AND LETTING US BE ABLE TO MEET YOU.

UM, AND IT'S BEEN A PRIVILEGE AND TO GO THROUGH THESE AND, AND, UM, YOU KNOW, THE COMP, THERE'S A LOT OF COMPETITION OBVIOUSLY OUT THERE, BUT AGAIN, IT SAYS A LOT FOR EACH OF YOUR RESPECTIVE FIRMS THAT YOU WOULD, UH, BE REPRESENTED AND, AND BE RECOMMENDED BY THESE COMMITTEES.

AND THANK YOU FOR THAT.

WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER HELM WITH A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN.

IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR AND THANK YOU CHRIS, FOR FACILITATING A LOT OF THAT.

OF THE, THE BUDGETS AND SCHEDULES FOR THE PROJECTS.

WE'LL GO TO ITEM B.

I'M GONNA ACCEPT, REJECT, RENEW ON THE T-B-R-F-Q, PC 24 DASH OH ONE ON SYSTEMS PROJECT ENGINEERING DESIGN.

AND IS THAT KIM? OH, I'M SORRY.

YEAH, I THINK YOU FLIPPED THEM THE OH, WE DID, DIDN'T WE? OKAY.

ON THE ONGOING, BRO, WE DID ALSO A AND B, IS THAT CORRECT? OR DID WE NOT DO B? OH, WE DID.

YEAH, WE DID B FIRST, SO, OH, I'M SORRY ABOUT THAT.

I MISREAD YOU ACTUALLY CALLED A, THEY DISCUSSED FEE .

SORRY.

WELL, THANKS .

OKAY, WE'RE GONNA SIGN A

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

MAG DISCUSSION.

TAKE ACTION ON ONGOING THE BOND PROJECTS COMMISSIONER'S COURT BY FREEZING NICHOLS.

UM, SO THIS IS OUR MONTHLY REPORT, UH, FOR JUNE.

UH, SO TO COVER SOME OF THE UPDATES.

UM, SO, UH, MORGAN HAD EMAILED Y'ALL THE, THE PROGRAM MANAGEMENT PLAN A COUPLE WEEKS AGO.

LOST THAT.

WE'RE ON EIGHT.

UH, SO THAT PLAN INCLUDES, UH, EACH

[00:50:01]

AND SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT'D BE SEEKING TODAY IS, UH, APPROVAL OF THAT PLAN.

AND THEN THAT WILL BE THE BASELINE FOR, UH, FURTHER, UM, UPDATES ON THE PROGRAM.

UH, WE DID UPDATE THE WEBSITE.

UH, SO WE, YOU KNOW, TOOK THE MAIN FRAMEWORK THAT WE HAD A PRE-BOND ELECTION, AND NOW THERE'S A REPORT SECTION.

SO EACH OF THESE REPORTS WILL BE UPLOADED FOLLOWING COURT, UH, IF THE PUBLIC WISHES TO DOWNLOAD IT, UH, UH, AND, AND VIEW IT AT A LATER DATE.

UH, WE STILL HAVE THE EVENTS TAB, SO AS WE DO, UH, FURTHER TOWN HALL OR SPECIFIC PROJECT PUBLIC MEETINGS, THAT INFORMATION WILL BE UPDATED ON THE WEBSITE.

GOOD.

UH, SO AT THIS POINT, THAT'S, UH, READY TO GO.

IT'S SAME UR L@PARKERCOUNTYBOND.COM.

UH, ONE OF THE THINGS WE RECENTLY, AND YOU'LL SEE AS I GO THROUGH THE REPORT, WE SET UP KIND OF A MONTHLY COORDINATION WITH THE AREA OFFICE OF TECH STOCK, JUST GIVEN THE QUANTITY OF PROJECTS TO KIND OF KEEP THEM INFORMED AS WE'RE, UH, DEVELOPING AND TALKING ABOUT, UH, SOME OF THE SAFETY ISSUES THAT WAS, UH, DISCUSSED EARLIER.

UH, AND THEN AS Y'ALL JUST APPROVE THE, UH, ON SYSTEM CONSULTING SELECTION IS COMPLETE.

AND SO WE'LL BEGIN THE NEGOTIATION PHASE.

UH, I MENTIONED AT THE LAST COURT WE HAD BEEN COORDINATING WITH COG.

OF COURSE, COG HAD, UH, AWARDED, UH, SOME FUNDING PARTNERSHIPS.

AND SO JUST GETTING THE TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PLAN UPDATED WITH COG, UH, REALLY THE SCHEDULE ASSOCIATED WITH THAT FUNDING IS THE COORDINATION WE'VE BEEN DOING, UH, TO KIND OF FINALIZE THAT.

AND THE NEXT STEP WILL BE DOING ADVANCED FUNDING AGREEMENTS WITH TECH STOCK THAT WILL BRING THOSE AS A SEPARATE ITEM TO COURT.

UH, SO GOING, UH, THROUGH EACH OF THE PRECINCT UPDATES, STARTING WITH, UH, PRECINCT ONE.

UH, SO A FEW UPDATES HERE.

HUTCHINSON ROAD.

UM, WE'RE WORKING ON GETTING SCOPE OF SERVICES FROM OUR SURVEYOR.

UH, I, I KNOW IT KIND OF CROSSES TWO PRECINCTS, BUT THE INTENT IS TO HAVE POJO EXTENSION AND HUTCHINSON SURVEYED TOGETHER SINCE THEY KIND OF HAVE A CONTINUOUS, UH, LOOP THERE AT THE SOUTHERN, UH, BORDER OF, UH, SPRINGTOWN.

UH, ON, FROM A DESIGN STANDPOINT, UM, WE, OF COURSE, SURVEY WAS COMPLETED A MONTH AGO, AND WE'VE BEEN FINALIZING THE ALIGNMENT OF THE CHURCH ROAD EXTENSION, UH, COORDINATING WITH THE DEVELOPER AND THE COMMISSIONER'S OFFICE ON, UH, THAT ALIGNMENT AS, AND CURRENTLY KIND OF REFINING THE RIGHT OF WAY NEEDS THAT WILL BE, UH, NEEDED FOR THE CHURCH ROAD.

UH, AND THEN WE BEGAN COORDINATION WITH TECH STOCK AT THE INTERSECTION OF SEVEN 30.

AND FORTUNATELY AT THAT INTERSECTION, THE TURN LANES ARE IN PLACE.

IT'S MORE, UH, THE CONNECTION OF CHURCH ON EITHER END, UH, THAT WILL NEED TURN LANES, UH, MIDWAY ROAD.

WE'RE ADVANCING THAT PROJECT, HAVE DONE ALL THE SHEETS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT PROJECT, UH, AND ARE KIND OF WORKING THROUGH OUR QUALITY CONTROL REVIEWS.

UH, AND THEN WE HAVE THE, THE J UH, WN WOODY AND THOMAS ROAD UNDER DESIGN AS WELL.

UH, Y'ALL, Y'ALL TALKED ABOUT, UH, FM 51 AND SPECIFICALLY CARTER ROAD, BUT ONE OF THE OTHER, UH, SAFETY IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS ON 51 IS VE STATION ALIGNMENT, UH, AT 51.

AND SO WE DISCUSSED THAT ONE WITH TECH STOCK, SOME OF THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT WILL BE NEEDED, UH, TO IMPROVE THE SAFETY AT THAT LOCATION.

UH, GOING TO PRECINCT TWO.

UM, SO, UH, AS MENTIONED, UH, CARTER ROAD, WE DID HAVE A KICKOFF MEETING WITH TECH STOCK.

I, I THINK I MENTIONED IN THE LAST UPDATE THAT, UH, THAT WAS ONE THAT COMMISSIONER HOLT HAD BEEN WORKING WITH THE AREA OFFICE ON, AND THEY HAVE FUNDED THAT PROJECT.

UH, SO WE'RE EXCITED THAT THAT ONE IS FUNDED WITH THE HIGHWAY SAFETY IMPROVEMENT FUNDS.

UH, AND SO WE, UH, MET WITH TECH, SO TO DISCUSS THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT THEY INCLUDED IN THAT FUNDING AND, AND THEY INCLUDED, UH, TO WHAT YOU'VE ASKED FOR COMMISSIONER HOLT IN TERMS OF LIKE WIDENING IN ALL DIRECTIONS, UH, WITHOUT REMOVING THE SUPER TWO.

SO THINK IT WILL BE, UH, ULTIMATELY A, A REALLY GOOD SAFETY IMPROVEMENT AT THAT LOCATION.

UH, OF COURSE Y'ALL JUST PROVE THAT OH, YES, SIR.

ON, ON THAT.

DO YOU KNOW THE STATUS OF A TRAFFIC SIGNAL AT THAT LOCATION AS WELL? BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE SEPARATE FROM WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO, WHICH IS SIMPLY BROADEN IT SO THAT THERE'S A PROTECTED TURN LANE FOR NORTHBOUND TRAFFIC TURNING ONTO CARTER OR SOUTHBOUND TRAFFIC TURNING ONTO CARTER.

THAT'S CORRECT.

YEAH, WE, WE DIDN'T TALK ABOUT A SIGNAL AT THIS TIME WHAT THEY HAD SUBMITTED FOR FUNDING TO INCLUDE THE LEFT TURN LANE.

AND A RIGHT TURN LANE FOR THAT SOUTHBOUND ONTO CARTER.

GOTCHA.

UH, BUT I, I THINK A SIGNAL COULD BE SOMETHING WE COULD,

[00:55:01]

UH, DISCUSS.

DO A WARRANT STUDY THERE.

WELL, I THINK, I THINK THE AREA ENGINEER AND I HAVE HAD CONVERSATIONS SEPARATELY FROM THIS HIGHWAY SAFETY IMPROVEMENT PLAN.

OR WELLS ROAD THAT, UM, BUT THERE IS, THERE WOULD, THERE COULD BE MERIT IN, IN DOING A MEDIAN ALL THE WAY TO GARDNER IF WE COULD AFFORD THAT.

UM, WHICH WAS MORE TURN LANE FOCUSED.

I THINK WE'VE HAD DISCUSSIONS ON THE ACTUAL SIGNAL, BUT IF YOU DON'T MIND PUTTING, UH, SOME, SOME, UH, INFLUENCE IN ON YOUR END AS WELL, I WOULD APPRECIATE.

YEAH, WE DEFINITELY DISCUSS IT THERE.

TECH X'S BEEN A GREAT PARTNER TO Y'ALL.

UH, WE HAVE A COUPLE IN CONLEY'S, UH, PRECINCT AS WELL, THANK YOU OF, OF SIGNALS SO THAT, UH, DEFINITELY HAVE THAT CONVERSATION.

UM, AND SO, UH, DESIGN, UH, OAK RIDGE, THE SURVEY'S COMPLETE ON OAK RIDGE AND WE'RE WORKING ON THE 30% DESIGN, UH, IS UNDERWAY FOR, FOR THAT SEGMENT.

UM, JOHNSON BID AND GREEN ACRES IS AN ELEMENT THAT WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE.

WE'VE DONE ALL THE RIGHT OF WAY DOCUMENTS AND CURRENTLY OUR RIGHT OF WAY AGENT IS WORKING ON THE APPRAISALS.

UH, AND THEN WE'RE DEVELOPING THE DESIGN.

UH, REALLY THE KEY ELEMENT THERE IS GETTING THE RIGHT OF WAY ACQUIRED FOR THAT SPECIFIC PROJECT.

UH, WE HAVE DONE FINAL PLANS FOR ELLIS CREEK SUBDIVISION, UH, SOME OF THE INTERIOR ROADS AND ARE TARGETING TO ADVERTISE THAT PROJECT IN EARLY JULY, UH, FROM A CONSTRUCTION STANDPOINT, UH, 1 9 9 AND VILLE CUTOFF I'VE PREVIOUSLY REPORTED ON THIS.

SO WE'RE DONE WITH ALL THE DESIGN WORK AND IT'S IN TECH STOCK HA UH, TECH STOCK'S HANDS, AND THEY'RE PLANNING TO LET THAT PROJECT OR BID WOULD BE OUR TERMINOLOGY ON JULY 9TH.

AND, UM, AND SO THEY'RE GONNA HANDLE THE CONSTRUCTION OF THAT PROJECT.

AND THEN WE'RE WORKING ON FINALIZING THE FM NINE 20 AND WILLOW CREEK ANTICIPATING THAT TO, UH, I BELIEVE THE FINAL WALKTHROUGH IS JUNE 23RD.

BUT WRAPPING THAT PROJECT UP AT THE END OF THE MONTH, UH, ONTO PRECINCT THREE.

UM, SO THE, THE I 20 FRONTAGE ROAD SELECTION, UH, Y'ALL JUST APPROVED THAT, UH, FROM A PLANNING STANDPOINT.

AND THEN ON DESIGN, UH, THE EASTWEST ARTERIAL, UH, GIVEN THAT WAS A GREEN FIELD, UH, WE HAD PREVIOUSLY DONE THE, UH, THE PROPERTY SURVEY.

UH, BUT WE'RE WORKING THROUGH DIFFERENT ALIGNMENTS WITH THE COMMISSIONER'S OFFICE AND, UM, AND THE DEVELOPER IN THAT AREA.

UH, WE'VE IDENTIFIED, UH, WHAT WE FEEL LIKE IS THE BEST COST ALTERNATIVE ALIGNMENT.

AND SO AT THIS POINT WE WILL DO THE TOPOGRAPHY SURVEY OFF OF THAT AND THEN FOLLOW THAT UP WITH THE H AND H STUDY.

UH, 'CAUSE THERE'S TWO MAJOR CREEK CROSSINGS FOR THAT PARTICULAR PROJECT.

UH, AND THEN RICK WILLIAMSON, UH, THAT ONE WE'RE PRETTY FAR ALONG IN DESIGN.

UM, UH, AS YOU KNOW, THAT'S ADDING TWO LANES TO THE LOOP.

SO THE, THE MAIN PART OF THE DESIGN IS KIND OF EACH OF THE INTERSECTIONS.

SO WE DEVELOPED THE SIGNAL PLANS.

THE, THAT'S KIND OF THE LONG LEAD ITEM IS GETTING APPROVAL FOR THE SIGNAL MODIFICATIONS AT SPUR THREE 12, UH, I 20 AND US 180.

UH, AND SO WE'RE ABOUT TO SUBMIT THOSE TO TECH DOC FOR THEIR INITIAL REVIEW.

UH, IN ADDITION, UH, ONE ELEMENT IS THE GREENWOOD ROAD INTERSECTION.

UH, WITH US GOING TO A FOUR LANE, WE FEEL LIKE THERE'S A DESIGN OPTION THAT WILL ACTUALLY ELIMINATE THE NEED FOR A SIGNAL AT GREENWOOD WHERE WE WOULD, UH, BASICALLY HAVE HOODED LEFT SO PEOPLE COULDN'T TURN LEFT OUTTA GREENWOOD.

UH, BUT THEY WOULD HAVE THE ABILITY TO EITHER DRIVE TO SPUR THREE 12 OR 180 FOR ANY ALTERNATIVE MOVEMENTS.

SO WE THINK THAT'S GONNA MAKE THAT A LOT SAFER LOCATION, ONE ADDED BENEFIT OF THAT, IT WOULD ALLOW US TO MOVE THAT SIGNAL TO OLD GARDNER ROAD, WHICH IS ONE OF THE OTHER PROJECTS IN COMMISSIONER HOLT'S, UH, PRECINCT.

SO, UH, WE FEEL LIKE THAT IS KIND OF A WIN-WIN WITH THAT SITUATION, UH, WHERE WE DON'T HAVE THE LONG LEAD ITEMS FOR SIGNAL POLLS.

UM, AND THEN THE I 20 RAMPS AT BETHEL GRAHAM ASSOCIATES, UH, AS I'VE MENTIONED, THEY HAVE AN APPROVED SCHEMATIC.

THEY ALSO HAVE AN APPROVAL OF THE INTERSTATE ACCESS JUSTIFICATION AT THE DISTRICT LEVEL.

AND THEY'RE KIND OF FINALIZING THE APPROVAL WITH FHWA EXPECTED TO HAVE THAT IN EARLY FEBRUARY.

UH, AND THEN THE 30% PLANNED SUBMITTAL THEY'RE TARGETING TO SUBMIT THAT TO TECH STOCK, UH, IN SEPTEMBER OF THIS YEAR.

CHRIS, I HAVE A QUESTION.

UHHUH, YOU TALK ABOUT MOVING THAT SIGNAL, WHY WOULDN'T YOU USE THE SAME DESIGN AT GARNER ROAD THAT WE HAVE COME UP WITH FOR GREENWOOD ROAD? SO WE, WE THINK THAT IS THE SOLUTION THERE.

UH, OTHER THAN, UH, WHAT MAKES THAT WORK IS THE FOUR LANE CONFIGURATION.

'CAUSE YOU INTRODUCED THAT MEDIAN MM-HMM.

UH, AND SO AT THIS POINT WHERE WE HAVE THE FOUR LANE WOOD BASICALLY, I MEAN, ENDS AT, UH, OLD MINE

[01:00:01]

BUT, UM, THAT, THAT IS SOMETHING WE HAD KIND OF THOUGHT ABOUT.

I'M JUST TRYING TO ELIMINATE, ELIMINATE THE RED LIGHT.

THAT WOULD BE, UH, A VERY GOOD OPTION.

UH, THERE, THE WAY, THE WAY YOU CAN THINK ABOUT IT, IF, UM, IT, YOU, YOU BASICALLY ARE ELIMINATING THAT CROSS TRAFFIC, BUT YOU'RE PROVIDING THEM, UH, OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE AN ALTERNATE ROUTE AND SO IT REALLY IMPROVES SAFETY AND YOU DON'T NEED THE SIGNAL.

I THINK THERE'S SOME TOPOGRAPHY ISSUES THERE AT OLD GARNER AS WELL.

AND THEN THERE WOULD BE SOME RIGHT OF WAY PURCHASE CONSIDERATIONS.

RIGHT, RIGHT.

I I DO THINK THAT OPTION IS SOMETHING WE'D LIKE TO WORK UP TO, TO SHOW BOTH Y'ALL AND, UM, AND SEE IF THAT'S VIABLE OVERDOING THE SIGNAL.

I MEAN, LONG TERM WE HAVE TO, WE HAVE TO GET TO RICK WILLIAMSON AS A TWO LANE EACH WAY FOUR LANE TOTAL.

I IF YOU'D LIKE, I COULD, UH, AT THE NEXT COURT, I COULD PRESENT NO, I'M JUST WHAT, REVIEW AGAIN, WHAT THE ACTION ITEMS ARE? UH, SO THE PROGRAM MANAGEMENT PLAN, IT INCLUDES SCHEDULES OF ALL THE PROJECTS AND THE BUDGETS OF ALL THE PROJECTS.

JUST FOR THE PURPOSE OF THE ROAD FOR WHAT IT WAS INTENDED FOR AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE FOR THE ENTIRE LOOP, SO.

RIGHT, RIGHT.

UM, AND UH, SO AS I MENTIONED ON I 20, THE, THE RAMP 30% WILL BE SUBMITTED IN SEPTEMBER.

UH, AND THEN PRECINCT FOUR.

UM, SO, UH, JUST COMPLETED THE SELECTION, UH, RECOMMENDATION FOR FM 1187.

UH, BANKHEAD IS UNDER DESIGN, SO, UH, THIS WOULD BE THE, UH, SECTION FROM RANCH HOUSE ROAD TO 1187.

WE'VE HAD A LOT OF GOOD CONVERSATION WITH, UH, THE CITY OF WILLOW PARK AND, AND THE DEVELOPERS IN THE AREA ON SOME OF THE DESIGN CONCEPTS THERE.

UH, AND THAT, THAT'S WHEN WE'RE REALLY ACCELERATING GIVING SOME OF THE, UH, DESIGN OR THE DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL ALONG THAT CORRIDOR.

UH, WE JUST GOT THE SURVEY FOR, UH, KELLY ROAD, THE SOUTHERN PORTION, AND SO WORKING ON THE DESIGN, UH, CONCEPT TO SHARE WITH YOU, COMMISSIONER.

UH, AND THEN ON THE BANKHEAD BRIDGE, THE REAL CRITICAL PATH, THE SURVEY AND SUE IS COMPLETE, BUT WE'RE REALLY WORKING ON FINALIZING THE H AND H STUDY THAT'LL REALLY DICTATE THE SIZE OF THE BRIDGE AT THAT LOCATION.

UH, WE ANTICIPATE IT'LL BE LONGER THAN WHAT WAS ORIGINALLY THERE, BUT LOOKING AT SOME OPTIONS TO MINIMIZE THE LENGTH OF THAT BRIDGE.

UH, AND THEN THE INTERSECTION AT FIVE AT BANKHEAD.

UH, JUST ONE REFRESHER ON THAT IS THAT WAS A PROJECT WHERE WE HAD A, UH, A DRAINAGE ELEMENT IN THE PAST BOND.

UH, BUT GIVEN THE, THE GOAL TO HAVE BANKHEAD BE A MAJOR PARALLEL ROUTE TO 20, UH, THIS, WE'RE LOOKING AT NOW A FULL, UM, INTERSECTION DESIGN HERE.

UH, WE HAVE A LOT OF SURVEY THAT WE HAD FROM THE PAST PROJECT, AND THEN, UH, THIS IS ANOTHER ONE THAT WE'VE BEEN COORDINATING WITH TECH STOCK ON.

IT IS ACTUALLY FUNDED AS WELL.

SO IT'S ONE OF THE ONES, WHEN I MENTIONED ABOUT COORDINATING WITH COG, THIS ONE, UH, DOES HAVE FUNDING ON IT, SO THAT THAT HELPS ACCELERATE THAT.

UH, WE DID RECEIVE BIDS ON THE OLD WEATHERFORD ROAD PROJECT.

UH, WE OPENED BIDS ON MAY 24TH.

UH, THE LOW BID WAS, UH, ABOUT 14.3 MILLION.

UH, THAT'S A LITTLE OVER THE, UH, IF YOU, UH, TO REFRESH YOU ON THIS ONE, COG IS FUNDING THE CONSTRUCTION.

UH, THEY DEPOSITED FUNDS, UH, FOR THE COUNTY TO EXECUTE THE CONSTRUCTION.

UH, THE, THE AMOUNT THAT WAS SET ASIDE FOR CONSTRUCTION WAS ABOUT 12.9 MILLION, SO WE'RE A LITTLE OVER WHAT IT BID.

AND I'VE BEEN COORDINATING WITH COG ON, UM, LOOKING AT, UH, ADJUSTING THAT FUNDING, UH, TO ACCOUNT FOR THE ADDITIONAL CONSTRUCTION COSTS.

UH, AND SO TARGETING TO BRING THAT TO THE NEXT COURT, UH, FOR APPROVAL, UH, ONCE I COMPLETE THAT COORDINATION WITH COG.

AND, UH, WE'VE DONE ALL THE CHECKS OF THE CONTRACTOR, UH, BUT WE'RE EXCITED TO GET THAT ONE UNDERWAY AND WOULD REALLY LIKE THEM TO GET STARTED BEFORE SCHOOL GETS BACK IN PLACE SO WE CAN GET THE TRAFFIC CONTROL IN PLACE.

WE'RE NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO GET A LOT OF CONSTRUCTION DONE BEFORE SCHOOL GETS IN PLACE, BUT, UH, KIND OF GETTING IT ALL SAFE, UH, FOR WHEN SCHOOL'S BACK IN PLACE AND THEN TARGETING NEXT SUMMER TO DO A LOT OF THE WORK IMMEDIATELY IN FRONT OF THE SCHOOL.

UH, SO WITH THAT, UH, IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS? OKAY.

IF NOT, I WOULD ASK FOR A MOTION.

I DON'T KNOW THAT WE HAVE ANYTHING TO DO TO, UH, ANY MOTION TO TAKE ON THIS.

WE'RE JUST ACCEPTING THE REPORT, JUDGE.

WELL, I THINK IN THE PROGRAM MANAGEMENT PLAN, IF THERE, THERE, YEAH.

IF Y'ALL ARE COMFORTABLE WITH ACCEPTING THAT, OR I COULD, UH, ALSO COME BACK TO THE NEXT COURT IF YOU LIKE, MORE TIME TO REVIEW.

IT IS PRIMARILY AN UPDATE, BUT THERE ARE SOME ACTIONABLE THINGS HERE.

UM, JUST BASICALLY TO WHAT I'M ASKING IS FOR AN MOTION TO ACCEPT A REPORT AND FOR THOSE ACTION ITEMS THAT HE HAS LISTED HERE,

[01:05:01]

AND SO WHAT, WE'LL USE THAT AS THE BASELINE FOR FUTURE REPORTS.

WHERE, YOU KNOW, I'LL, I'LL ACTUALLY REPORT THE FINANCIALS AND THE SCHEDULE TRACKING AND FUTURE, UH, REPORTS.

SO, UH, BE SEEKING APPROVAL FROM THE COURT ON THE PROGRAM MANAGEMENT PLAN.

SEVEN P ON THE APPROVAL OF THE AGREEMENT FOR A LOCAL AND SYSTEM IMPROVEMENT PROJECT WITH TDO FOR STARFALL LANE.

THANK, THANK YOU.

CHRIS.

WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER HOLT, THE SECOND BY COMMISSIONER COLLEEN, ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR, PASS FIVE VOTE.

UH, STAY, STAY UP THERE.

CHRIS.

UM, YOU COVERED ITEM PA LOT OF IT ON, UH,

[7.P. Approval of the Agreement for A Local on System Improvement Project with TxDOT for Starfall Lane and take any action the court deems necessary. (John Forrest / Judge Deen)]

AND TAKE ANY ACTION THE COURT DEEMED IS NECESSARY.

JOHN, YOU WANT TO, ANYTHING YOU WANNA BRING UP ON THAT? AND THIS IS IN MY MIKE'S, UH, PRECINCT, AND THIS IS THE MORNINGSTAR STARFALL PROJECT.

AND CHRIS, IF YOU WANNA SAY A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT, WE NEED TO TAKE ACTION ON THAT TODAY.

UM, YEAH, I I REVIEWED THE INFORMATION YOU SENT.

UM, THIS, UH, IS FOR A, UH, ALOOSA AGREEMENT WITH TECH STOCK.

MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT DEVELOPER IS COVERING THE COST ASSOCIATED WITH THAT.

THAT'S CORRECT.

UH, AND SO THE, THIS WOULD BE LIKE A STANDARD AGREEMENT FOR WHEN YOU'RE WORKING IN, UH, T STOCK RIGHT AWAY.

ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS? UH, COMMISSIONER EARLS MADE THE MOTION.

COMMISSIONER CONY HAS MADE THE SECOND.

[7.Q. Approve the Order for the voluntary annexation for approximately a 996-acre tract of land located off of White Settlement Road and Pearson Ranch Road with the City of Weatherford and take any action the court deems necessary. (John Forrest / Judge Deen)]

GO TO MOVE TO ITEM Q.

WE DO HAVE CHAD HERE FROM THE CITY OF WEATHERFORD.

UH, THE, UH, ITEM Q IS APPROVED THE ORDER FOR THE VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION.

MORNING, HONORABLE JUDGE COMMISSIONERS.

WE'RE AT APPROXIMATELY A 996 ACRE TRACT TO LAND LOCATED OFF OF WEST SETTLEMENT ROAD IN PEARSON RANCH ROAD WITH THE CITY OF WEATHERFORD.

AND TAKE ANY ACTION TO THE COURT DEEMS NECESSARY.

WOULD YOU COME ON IN? THANK YOU FOR COMING, CHAD.

CHAD MARGARET, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORK, CITY OF WEATHERFORD.

SO THIS IS THE VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION FOR JUST UNDER A THOUSAND ACRES OFF WHITE SETTLEMENT ROAD.

UH, CITY COUNCIL DID, UH, HEAR THIS AND APPROVE IT PRIOR TO COMING TO THIS POINT.

MM-HMM, .

UM, IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY RECEIVED THE INFORMATION ABOUT PEARSON ROAD AND WHITE SETTLEMENT ROAD.

SO WE ARE OBLIGATED TO TAKE OVER MAINTENANCE OF THOSE ADJACENT ROADWAYS.

SO THAT'S ALSO BEEN SURVEYED AND, UH, IS EITHER HERE TODAY OR WILL BE YOUR NEXT MEETING FOR APPROVAL.

UM, EXCUSE ME.

COMMISSIONER ELLS MADE THE MOTION FOR APPROVAL A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER CONLEY.

IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM BEFORE WE VOTE? DO YOU HAVE ANY ROADS IN PRECINCT ONE? YOU'D LIKE TO HAVE ? I COULDN'T HELP BUT NOTICE HOW QUICKLY THAT NOTION WAS MADE.

I KNEW WHAT THE ANSWER WAS GONNA BE TODAY.

, WE GOT A DEBRIS TRUCK.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? MOTION PASSES.

ON THE ITEMS DISCUSSED UNDER NUMBER 10 UNDER 1 91.

OH, THANK YOU FOR COMING.

WE'RE GONNA GO BACK TO THE CONSENT AGENDA

[Additional Item 1]

JUVENILE PROBATION JUDGE, JEP, UH, FOR THE ADDITIONAL AMOUNT OF 360 1 4 10 THAT IS LISTED ON THERE.

WE DO HAVE ASHLEY HERE, UH, WITH THE, UH, JUVENILE BOARD, WHO'S THE DIRECTOR IF YOU WOULD COME UP.

UH, LOOKS LIKE YOU HAVE SOME THINGS PRINTED AND YES.

SO WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO GO THROUGH THIS COMMISSIONER'S LINE BY LINE JUST TO GIVE YOU A GENERAL OVERVIEW OF WHAT EACH OF THOSE CONTINGENCY LINE ITEMS WOULD INCLUDE? WHAT THE QUESTION I ASKED YES.

UH, WAS WHAT? 361,410,000 IS BEING SPENT FOR.

TO BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH, UM, CHAPTER 37 OF THE TEXAS, UH, ADMINISTRATIVE CODE, WHICH REQUIRES A CERTIFIED PROBATION OFFICER TO BE ON STAFF AT THE J-J-A-A-P.

I CAN CERTAINLY GO THROUGH THOSE WITH YOU.

JUST TO KIND OF GIVE YOU A BRIEF OVERVIEW.

AND AGAIN, THIS IS JUST TO GET US THROUGH FY 24.

UM, SO IT'S PULLING FROM THE OVERALL PROJECTED AMOUNT OF APPROXIMATELY $840,000.

AND THIS IS JUST FOR THE UPSTART OF THE PROGRAM.

SO PART OF THAT IN THE SALARY LINE ITEM, WHICH IS $60,000, INCLUDES THE NEWLY HIRED DEPARTMENT HEAD TO GET HER THROUGH THE REST OF THIS FISCAL YEAR.

SHE STARTED WITH US THIS LAST MONDAY.

AND THEN ALSO TO TRANSITION AN EXISTING CERTIFIED JUVENILE PROBATION OFFICER THAT WORKS FOR OUR DEPARTMENT OVER TO THAT LINE ITEM BUDGET, BECAUSE HE WILL BE MOVING TO THE J-J-A-E-P, UH,

[01:10:01]

THAT ALSO INCLUDES AN ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT COMING ON FULL-TIME IN AUGUST.

UM, WHICH WILL ASSIST, UM, OBVIOUSLY WITH THE PROCESSES THAT WILL OCCUR AT JJAP.

THE FIC MATCH, EMPLOYEE HOSPITALIZATION, RETIREMENT PLAN, WORKERS' COMPENSATION AND LONGEVITY.

THAT IS ALL IN RELATION TO THOSE COUNTY EMPLOYEES THAT WILL, UH, BE AT JJAP.

THE CELL PHONE ALLOWANCE STIPEND, UM, INCLUDES, UM, OBVIOUSLY FOR THEM TO HAVE CELL PHONES IN THOSE POSITIONS THAT THEY WILL, UH, UH, OPERATE UNDER AT THE JJP.

HOW MANY CELL PHONES? UH, SO CELL PHONES, THAT WOULD INCLUDE THE, UM, ADMINISTRATOR, THE CASE MANAGER, UM, THE ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT.

AND WE ALSO ARE GONNA HAVE THE TRUANCY CASEWORKER MOVE, UM, OVER THERE AS WELL.

SO THAT WOULD BE FOUR FOR POST, UH, WAS THERE, DID I INTERRUPT A QUESTION? NO, I WAS GONNA ASK A QUESTION IF IT'S, BUT, BUT YOU GO AHEAD AND I'LL ASK YOU THE QUESTION.

PROGRAM, WHICH IS THE ELECTRONIC PROGRAM THAT WILL BE UTILIZED, UM, AT THE SCHOOL.

I'LL ASK THE QUESTION LATER.

SO WE JUST MADE PROJECTIONS ON, ON SOME OF THESE LINE ITEMS. UM, CERTAINLY NOT KNOWING, BUT WANTING TO PLAN FOR THE BEGINNING OF THE SCHOOL YEAR.

AND THAT INCLUDES POSTAGE, UM, AND SUPPLIES, WHICH WOULD INCLUDE OBVIOUS PRODUCTS LIKE PAPER PRINTING, PAPER, PENCILS, NOTEBOOKS, UM, THOSE ITEMS THAT WOULD BE REQUIRED FOR SCHOOL, UM, FOR GAS, OIL AND DIESEL WAS $2,000 THAT WE, UH, PROJECTED.

AND THAT WOULD BE, UH, THE EXPECTATION THAT WE DROVE TO A SCHOOL TO PICK UP BREAKFAST AND LUNCHES.

IF THE SCHOOL AGREED TO PROVIDE THOSE, THOSE TO US, UM, WE WOULD NEED THE ABILITY TO DO THAT.

OPERATING EXPENSES, WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY GOING TO BE YOUR LARGEST EXPENSE.

UM, AND ONE OF THE, THE, UH, BIGGEST EXPENSES IN THAT LINE ITEM IS GOING TO BE THE, UM, IT EXPECTATION FOR THE PHYSICAL RUNNING OF THAT CLASSROOM.

JUST TO GIVE YOU KIND OF AN OVERVIEW OF OPERATING EXPENSES, THE MONTHLY LEASE OF THAT OFFICE SPACE IS $3,870 A MONTH.

SO THIS WOULD INCLUDE THE LEASE FROM JUNE THROUGH SEPTEMBER, WHICH TOTALS $15,480.

UM, WE WOULD ALSO INCLUDE ITEMS THAT WERE NEEDED FOR UNIFORM REQUIREMENTS IF A FAMILY WAS INDIGENT AND UN UNABLE TO PROVIDE THAT TO THE STUDENT.

THIS WOULD ALSO INCLUDE $1,500 FOR EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS, TEXTBOOKS, ANY KIND OF TESTING MATERIALS.

ANY STUDENT THAT DOES COME INTO THE JJAP IS REQUIRED TO GO THROUGH A STANDARDIZED, UH, PRE-ASSESSMENT OR A PRE-TEST, IOWA TESTING TO DETERMINE WHERE THEY FALL EDUCATIONALLY TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE MEETING THEIR EDUCATIONAL NEEDS, UH, IN ACCORDANCE WITH HOW THEY'RE TESTING.

UH, WE HAD $1,500, UH, EXPENSE FOR STARTUP IDENTIFIED FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION SERVICES.

THAT WOULD INCLUDE IEPS AND BEHAVIOR INTERVENTION, UH, PLAN DEVELOPMENT, UH, FOR BREAKFAST, LUNCH, SNACKS.

UM, WHEN AN ISD IS CLOSED OR UNABLE TO PROVIDE THAT, WE INCLUDED $2,500, UM, IN THAT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WERE COVERED.

AS I SPOKE TO BEFORE, THE BIGGEST LINE ITEM, UM, OR EXPENSE IN THE SLIDE ITEM IS GONNA BE YOUR IT EQUIPMENT THAT INCLUDES CHROMEBOOKS FOR THE STUDENTS, MONITORS, DESKTOPS, SCANNERS, UM, ADOBE PRO TEAMS AND LAPTOPS FOR EITHER THE STUDENTS AND OR THE STAFF THAT WORK THERE TO THE TUNE OF CLOSE TO APPROXIMATELY $42,000.

AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE SOME PHYSICAL ACTIVITY ITEMS, UH, BECAUSE WE ARE, IT IS RECOMMENDED BY THE STATE THAT WE ALLOT PART OF THAT SCHOOL DAY TO ALLOW, UH, THE STUDENTS TO HAVE PHYSICAL, UM, ACTIVITY IN REFERENCE TO THE OFFICE EQUIPMENT.

UM, NON CAP THAT IS OBVIOUSLY FOR CHAIRS, DESKS, EVERYTHING THAT IS NEEDED TO, UH, TO START A SCHOOL.

UM, AND FOR YOUR ADMINISTRATOR, YOUR CASE MANAGERS, ET CETERA, TO HAVE CHAIRS, UH, TABLES.

UM, ANY LINE ITEMS, UM, REQUIRED FOR THAT.

UM, YOUR OFFICE FURNITURE IS INCLUDED IN THAT, OBVIOUSLY AT THE EXPENSE OF $25,000.

YOUR SECURITY EQUIPMENT INCLUDES BOTH, UM, ITEMS FOR GUN SIGNAGE, UH, TO BE PUT ON THE DOOR, UM, WHICH PROHIBITS GUNS BEING BROUGHT INTO THE BUILDING.

ADDITIONALLY, THAT IS GOING TO INCLUDE THE COST OF A METAL DETECTOR, UM, AND WANDS.

UM, FOR THAT WE ARE GOING TO HAVE PANIC BUTTONS INSTALLED.

BUT IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING AT THIS POINT THAT IT IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE THAT AT NO EXPENSE.

UM, TO, UH, THE JJAP LINE ITEMS FOR CONTRACT SERVICES, WE HAVE AN ESTIMATE OF $10,000 THAT WOULD INCLUDE THE EDGENUITY CURRICULUM

[01:15:01]

AND THAT, JUST TO KIND OF EXPLAIN THE PROCESS OF THAT IS BECAUSE WE ARE GOING TO HAVE ALL GRADES OF, OF CHILDREN IN THE SAME CLASSROOM.

SO WE ARE GOING TO WANT TO BE ABLE TO MEET A EIGHTH GRADER'S NEEDS AND A JUNIOR'S NEEDS AT THE LEVELS THAT THEY HAVE.

SO THE EDGENUITY IS AN ELECTRONIC CURRICULUM PROGRAM IN SPEAKING WITH THE SCHOOL, UM, AND GETTING A GENERAL ESTIMATE OF WHAT THAT COSTS, THAT CAN COST UP TO $25,000, UH, FOR THAT PROGRAM.

UM, SO WE PUT JUST 10 JUST FOR THE STARTUP, BUT THAT IS FOR THAT THE CURRICULUM COMPONENT.

THAT ALSO INCLUDES YOUR SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING COMPONENT, UH, WHICH IS A REQUIREMENT BY THE STATE FOR US TO OFFER, UH, THESE JUVENILES THAT ARE IN JJAP AS PART OF THEIR SCHOOL DAY TO IM IMPROVE THEIR CRITICAL SINKING SKILLS AND AVOID FUTURE, UH, CRIMINAL SINKING ERRORS.

UM, TELEPHONE AND INTERNET WAS AN ESTIMATE OF $500 TRAINING AND TRAVEL.

THAT INCLUDES TRAINING THAT STAFF HAVE TO HAVE TO COME ON BOARD.

UH, INDIVIDUALS HAVE TO BE FIRST AID CPR CERTIFIED.

YOUR J-J-A-E-P STAFF HAVE TO ATTEND THE JJEP SUMMER CONFERENCE.

THAT IS GOING TO BE IN JULY, UM, OF THIS YEAR.

SO THAT ACCOUNTS FOR THAT UTILITIES IN THE AMOUNT OF $2,500.

UM, AND THAT IS JUST THE CONTINGENCY THAT IS IN THE LEASE AGREEMENT.

UM, WHICH INCLUDES THE POSSIBILITY OF $625, UH, PER MONTH FOR ANY ADDITIONAL UTILITIES OR, UH, NEEDS.

UH, WITH THAT, UM, $14,000 FOR OFFICE EQUIPMENT RENTAL.

WE PUT THAT IN THERE, UH, FOR THE UBEO, UH, CONTRACTS THAT MAY BE REQUIRED FOR THE RENTAL OF A PRINTER, UM, AND OR COLOR PRINTER.

AND THEN UNDER AUTOMOBILES, UH, WE HAVE A AUTOMOBILE THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO USE, BUT IS, UM, CERTAINLY CLOSE TO, WELL, IT IS OVER A HUNDRED THOUSAND MILES AND, UH, HAS SOME ISSUES, BUT WE WOULD BE COMFORTABLE USING THAT LOCALLY FOR THE TIME BEING TO GET TO AND FROM SCHOOLS, UH, TO PICK UP THOSE LUNCHES.

BUT JUST IN KNOWING THE TIMEFRAME THAT IT IS TAKING FOR ANY OF OUR DEPARTMENTS TO GET THOSE FLEE FLEET VEHICLES, UM, WHICH FOR OUR DEPARTMENT WAS ROUGHLY ABOUT 11 MONTHS TO GET A FLEET VEHICLE, WE WENT AHEAD AND PUT THE CHARGE IN THAT SO THAT YOU WOULD KNOW THAT WE WOULD NEED A, A VEHICLE AT THE J-J-A-E-P.

WHAT'S THE SALARY OF THE DIRECTOR? $80,000.

AND, UH, IT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE COURT WAS TO HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE ON THE, WHO, WHO DID THE HIRING.

I'LL ASK THAT QUESTION.

WHO, WHO DID THE HIRING OF THE DIRECTOR? THE HIRING OF THE DIRECTOR WAS A PANEL OF MYSELF AND THE ASSISTANT CHIEF.

AND THIS IS NOT A NEW DEPARTMENT.

THIS IS NOT A DEPARTMENT HEAD.

THIS IS A, AN EMPLOYEE OF YOUR DEPARTMENT.

SO IN ESSENCE, LET'S SAY FOR EXAMPLE, WEATHERFORD ISD, UH, PROVIDE AGREED TO PROVIDE US TWO TEACHERS.

THIS WOULD BE AN INDIVIDUAL THAT WOULD REPORT DIRECTLY TO ME.

SO THEY ARE A JUVENILE PROBATION, BUT THEY'RE NOT A DEPARTMENT HEAD AS YOU SPOKE EARLIER.

NO, EXACTLY.

AND JUDGE, I I WAS UNDER THE UNDERSTANDING THAT WE WERE GONNA HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE FROM CHRISTMAS COURT TO TAKE PART IN THESE DISCUSSIONS OF THE HIRING AND OF THE THINGS THAT WE JUST WENT OVER HERE.

AND I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE'S A MEETING ON THE 13TH, I BELIEVE THIS WEEK WITH THE ISDS TO DISCUSS SOME OF THESE ACTIVITIES, WHICH I LEARNED ABOUT THE LAST TIME THAT YOU WERE HERE ACTUALLY.

UM, I, I'LL JUST ASK WHO SET THE SALARY FOR THIS PERSON THAT YOU HIRED? UM, THAT WAS IN CONVERSATION WITH THE JUVENILE BOARD ON WHAT WE EXPECTED AND THEN ALSO WHAT THIS INDIVIDUAL WAS CURRENTLY MAKING BECAUSE SHE WAS THE PREVIOUS DAEP, UM, DIRECTOR FOR BROCK ISD.

AND SO IT WAS TO, TO MEET THE SALARY, UM, THAT SHE WAS CURRENTLY INCURRING.

AND DO YOU ANTICIPATE THAT ANY OF THESE, THE THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN DISCUSSED HERE COULD BE PROVIDED BY SOME OF THE ISDS IF THEY WERE ASKED? UM, POSSIBLY SOME OF THE CLASSROOM.

I DID NOT INCLUDE THAT IN THE BUDGET.

UM, BUT THERE IS THE POTENTIAL THAT MAYBE THAT THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO OFFER SOME OF THE, THE FURNITURE OPTIONS FOR US AS WELL, IF THEY SO AGREE TO.

I THINK ONE THING THAT IS IMPORTANT, JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT THE COMMISSIONERS, UM, UH, UNDERSTAND THAT AS WELL IS IN THAT CONVERSATION THAT WE WILL HAVE WITH THE 13TH, WITH THE, THE SUPERINTENDENTS THAT, UM, INCLUDES DISCUSSIONS ABOUT PROVIDING TEACHERS AND DIFFERENT JJPS THROUGHOUT THE STATE.

DO THAT DIFFERENTLY.

SOME OF YOUR ISDS AGREE TO FOOT THE BILL FOR THE COST OF THOSE TEACHERS AND JUST PROVIDE THEM TO THE JJEP.

UM, MOST OTHER J JEP, UH, DEVELOP A CONTRACTUAL AGREEMENT WITH THE ISDS THAT THE SCHOOL WILL PROVIDE THE TEACHERS, BUT AT THE COST OF THE JJEP, AT THE COST OF THE COUNTY.

[01:20:01]

'CAUSE ONE OF THOSE TEACHERS HAS TO BE SPED CERTIFIED.

UM, THAT WOULD BE AN AGREEMENT THAT WE WOULD HAVE SEPARATELY FROM THE MOU, WHICH WOULD BE, WOULD BE A CONTRACTUAL AGREEMENT IF THEY OBVIOUSLY WANTED US TO PAY FOR THAT TEACHER THAT WE WOULD PAY WEATHERFORD, ISDA CERTAIN AMOUNT OF MONEY, UH, FOR, FOR TEACHER, TEACHER RETIREMENT, ALL THE THINGS THAT THEY, UH, WOULD PROVIDE THEIR THEIR TEACHER.

UM, AS AN ON STAFF WEATHERFORD ISD TEACHER, WERE THERE ANY DISCUSSIONS AS TO A FACILITY BE THAT COULD BE PROVIDED RATHER THAN THIS? YES.

I MET WITH, UM, UH, DR.

BONE AND BOTH DR. REESE.

UM, AND THEY, UH, WERE, THEY DID NOT HAVE THE FACILITIES, NOR WERE THE OTHER SUPERINTENDENTS IN AGREEMENT, UH, OR HAD THE ABILITY TO PROVIDE US ANY KIND OF A PHYSICAL PLANT THAT WASN'T ON SITE.

AND THEIR WHOLE IDEA FOR HAVING A-J-J-A-P AND THE WHOLE REASON FOR WANTING A-J-J-A-P IS TO GET THESE JUVENILES OFF THEIR CAMPUS.

HOW MANY MANDATORY J-J-A-E-P PLACEMENTS ARE THERE IN PARKER COUNTY TODAY? UM, CURRENTLY AT THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR.

I, I DO NOT, I DO NOT KNOW, SIR, BECAUSE LAST YEAR THERE WERE SEVEN AT THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR.

AND THAT'S PART OF THE DISCUSSION WE WOULD HAVE ON THE, THE 13TH, IS TO SEE WHERE THEY ENDED THE SCHOOL YEAR.

AND THAT IS, AND I UNDERSTAND THE FRUSTRATION OF, OF THE FINANCIAL PIECE OF IT AND THE, THE BURDEN THAT THIS PUTS ON THE COUNTY, UM, WITH THIS STATE MANDATE, WHICH IS, YOU KNOW, IN ESSENCE AN UNFUNDED MANDATE, UH, IF YOU WILL, THE REQUIREMENT BECAUSE OF OUR POPULATION IS TO HAVE THIS JJAP.

AND WHAT IS IMPORTANT FOR THE COMMISSIONERS TO UNDERSTAND THAT THAT MEANS WHETHER OR NOT WE HAVE ONE STUDENT OR WHETHER OR NOT WE ARE AT FULL CAPACITY, WE AS A COUNTY, AS A JUVENILE BOARD, AS A JUVENILE PROBATION DEPARTMENT, ARE REQUIRED TO RUN THIS JJAP REGARDLESS OF HOW MANY STUDENTS ARE ENROLLED AT ANY GIVEN TIME.

HAD A QUESTION.

UM, YOU, YOU ASKED ON THE ISDS I WAS ASKING FOR PARTICIPATION.

ARE THERE ANY OTHER ENTITIES OR ANY, ANY FUNDS FROM ANY STATE OR ANY, ANY OTHER PARTICIPATION ON THESE? UM, AS FAR AS FUNDING FROM THE STATE, IF IT IS A MANDATORY PLACEMENT, WHICH THOSE ARE YOUR MORE EGREGIOUS OFFENSES THAT REQUIRE THAT JUVENILE TO BE REMOVED FROM THAT HOME CAMPUS, THE STATE REIMBURSES AT A RATE OF APPROXIMATELY $86 PER DAY.

SO WE WOULD, UH, BE GETTING SOME REIMBURSEMENT FROM THE STATE, BUT WHICH IS CERTAINLY THE FRUSTRATION AMONGST OTHER JJPS.

YEAH, THAT IS, THAT DOES NOT COME CLOSE TO UNDERSTAND TO THE DAILY, I UNDERSTAND COST UNDERST OF, OF WHAT IT DOES TO RUN THAT.

BUT, BUT IF YOUR REQUEST, UH, YOUR REQUEST IS WHAT OTHER MONIES WE MIGHT RECEIVE, WE WILL RECEIVE A PORTION OF REIMBURSEMENT FROM THE STATE FOR THOSE MANDATORY OFFENSES ONLY, NOT THE DISCRETIONARY OFFENSES.

IF WE ENTER INTO A CONTRACT WITH OUR ISDS TO ACCEPT, UM, DISCRETIONARY OFFENSES, THAT WOULD BE AT A PER COST DAILY RATE TO THE ISDS IN WHICH THEY REIMBURSE FOR THE COST.

SO USING THAT EXAMPLE YES.

UM, WITH THE SCHOOL, IF WE HAD TO COME AND REMOVE THEM, IS THERE ANY PROVISION THAT THESE TROUBLEMAKERS PARENTS COULD FOOT THE BILL OR GET BILLED OR ANY FEES ASSOCIATED FOR TRANSPORT THAT WAY? NO, ACTUALLY IN THIS LAST LEGISLATIVE SESSION, UM, MANY OF OUR, OF EVEN OF EVEN THE JUVENILE PROBATION DEPARTMENT'S ABILITY TO, UM, COLLECT PROBATION AND FEES, UM, COST FOR POLYGRAPHS, COST FOR ELECTRONIC MONITORING, THINGS LIKE THAT WERE REMOVED IN THIS LAST LEGISLATIVE SESSION.

THE ONLY FEES THAT WE CAN COLLECT PER STATUTE ARE FOR RESTITUTION.

AND THAT IS FOR MONEY THAT GOES TO THE VICTIMS. SO TO SPEAK TO, TO, TO YOUR QUESTION, UM, COMMISSIONER HILL, THERE IS NO STATUTE THAT ALLOWS US TO ACCEPT ANY FEES FROM THE PARENTS FOR THE COST OF THE JJA BECAUSE THAT, THAT GOT REMOVED FROM THE LEGISLATION IN THE LAST SESSION.

THAT WELL, THAT'S NEVER BEEN IN PLACE.

THAT'S NEVER BEEN IN PLACE.

BUT I JUST WANTED TO KIND OF CATCH YOU UP.

NO, I APPRECIATE THAT.

TO, TO LEGISLATIVELY WHERE WE ARE, EVEN AS A PROBATION DEPARTMENT TO NOT YES, MA'AM.

BE ABLE TO COLLECT FEES.

AND I HAD ONE MORE QUESTION.

CERTAINLY.

WAS IT EVER CONSIDERED TO USE A TEMPORARY BUILDING TEACHING OR MODULAR BUILDING SET UP OUTSIDE OF THE JAILHOUSE? UM, YES, WE DID LOOK AT THE COST OF THOSE MODULAR BUILDINGS AND UH, UH, IF I AM NOT SPEAKING INCORRECTLY, 'CAUSE I HAVE LOOKED AT A LOT OF NUMBERS AND, AND LOOKED AT A LOT OF REAL ESTATE, UH, I BELIEVE THE SETUP FOR THAT MODULAR BUILDING ALONE WAS ALMOST CLOSE TO $400,000 JUST FOR THE MODULAR BUILDING.

SO IN COM COMPUTING WHAT THAT MODULAR BUILDING WAS IN REFERENCE TO WHAT THE RENT IS FOR THIS CURRENT EXISTING BUILDING.

THIS ACTUALLY COMES IN UNDER THAT.

I JUST LIKE TO COVER THAT WAS BASED UPON THE MODULAR COST THAT I, I DID RECEIVE.

THE STATUTE SAYS WE HAVE TO PROVIDE THIS, BUT IT DOESN'T SAY THAT WE HAVE

[01:25:01]

TO PROVIDE THE CADILLAC.

IT, IT'S, WE COULD PROVIDE A CHEVROLET AND I, IT APPEARS TO ME THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL ITEMS IN HERE THAT COULD BE DONE IN SOME OTHER MANNER OTHER THAN THAT.

AND I, I'M DISAPPOINTED THAT WE WERE EXCLUDED FROM THE CONVERSATION THAT LED TO US TO TODAY.

AND I DO PLAN TO BE AT THE MEETING ON THE 13TH, UH, TO TRY TO BE INVOLVED IN SOME OF THOSE COMMUNICATIONS BECAUSE COMMISSIONER'S COURT HAS BEEN EXCLUDED FROM THIS, EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE, I WAS APPOINTED TO BE THE REPRESENTATIVE TO THAT COMMITTEE JUDGE.

AND I, I'LL TELL YOU THAT, I WOULD ASK THAT YOU WOULD TAKE THAT BACK TO THE JUVENILE BOARD AND LET THEM KNOW THAT, THAT, THAT THIS IS EXPENDITURE THAT COULD BE, COULD BE LESS IN MANY, SEVERAL, IN SEVERAL DIFFERENT WAYS ON HERE.

BUT BECAUSE OF THE TIME FOR THE COURT, I'LL NOT SIT HERE AND DEBATE THESE RIGHT NOW, BUT THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN PLACE AT A COMMITTEE MEETING THAT WAS, SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN PLACE PRIOR TO THIS PERSON BEING HIRED AND PRIOR TO ALL OF THESE DECISIONS BEING MADE.

AND I AM DISAPPOINTED THAT THE TAXPAYERS OF PARKER COUNTY WHO WAS REPRESENTED BY COMMISSIONER'S COURT WERE NOT INVOLVED IN THOSE DECISIONS.

AND JUST TO, TO SPEAK TO THAT, I WAS NEVER MADE AWARE THAT THERE WAS AN EXPECTATION OF A COMMISSIONER'S COURT TO, TO SIT IN ON THE INTERVIEW, UH, PANEL FOR THE DIRECTOR.

SO FOR THAT, UM, I, I WAS NOT MADE AWARE BY THE JUVENILE BORDER OTHERWISE.

ANYTHING ELSE? OKAY.

YOU RECEIVED THE REPORT ON WHAT THE ITEMIZED EXPENDITURES ARE.

UH, IS THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? THANK YOU FOR COMING IN AND DOING THIS ON SUCH SHORT NOTICE.

WE WERE PREVIOUSLY TOLD JUDGE THAT THAT PERSON WOULD BE PAID, THAT THE DIRECTOR WOULD BE PAID THEIR PAYCHECK, WHETHER WE APPROVE THIS OR NOT.

UH, I'M GONNA ASK THE COURT THAT WE DELAY UNTIL THE NEXT COURT AFTER THIS MEETING ON THE 13TH SO THAT WE COULD HAVE MORE INFORMATION.

OH, IS THAT A MOTION? NO, IT'S A LACK OF A MOTION.

UNDERSTOOD.

UM, WELL, I MEAN, YES, THIS INDIVIDUAL, I MEAN, HAS ALREADY, UM, CERTAINLY BEEN HIRED AND IS ALREADY ON BOARD WITH THE, WITH THE CHIEF.

HOW LONG, HOW LONG HAVE THEY BEEN ON BOARD? SINCE LAST MONDAY.

CAN I ASK WHEN THAT PERSON WAS INTERVIEWED? UM, I BEL I'VE DONE A LOT OF INTERVIEWS HERE RECENTLY.

I CAN CERTAINLY GET BACK TO YOU.

OTHERWISE I WOULD BE GIVING YOU A, A GUESSTIMATE.

I WOULD SAY PROBABLY A MONTH PRIOR, A MONTH PRIOR.

BUT I CAN GIVE YOU THE EXACT DATE THAT THEY WERE INTERVIEWED.

AND WE INTERVIEWED SEVERAL INDIVIDUALS, UM, BOTH FROM THE PROBATION END OF THINGS WHERE THEY WERE PROBATION HEAVY IN THEIR KNOWLEDGE AND, UH, EDUCATORS.

SO OVERALL, UM, WITH THE INTERVIEWS THAT WE, UM, HAD, WE INTERVIEWED EIGHT INDIVIDUALS AND FOUND THIS PERSON TO BE THE MOST QUALIFIED AND FELT VERY FORTUNATE TO HAVE SOMEONE, UM, UH, THAT WAS INTERESTED IN THIS POSITION WHO ALREADY HAS THE UNDERSTANDING OF CREATING A DISCIPLINARY ALTERNATIVE EDUCATION PROGRAM.

SO FROM YOUR STANDPOINT, NOBODY, I'M SORRY, COMMISSIONER FROM YOUR STANDPOINT, NOBODY FROM THE BOARD ON THE JUVENILE BOARD ARTICULATED THAT COMMISSIONER WALDEN WAS WHAT HIS, UM, RECOMMENDATION WAS, IS FOR US TO BE INVOLVED WITH THAT AT ALL IN THE INTERVIEW PROCESS.

NOTHING UNDER THAT WAS ARTICULATED TO YOU? NO.

YOU SAID THIS INDIVIDUAL PREVIOUSLY SERVED IN BROCK, RIGHT? YES.

SO THEY DO HAVE SOME EXPERIENCE IN PARKER COUNTY.

THAT'S GOOD.

THEY'VE BEEN AN EDUCATOR FOR 27 YEARS.

EXCELLENT.

UM, AND THE POSITION THAT THEY ARE VACATING TO TO JOIN THE COUNTY WAS AS THE DAEP DIRECTOR.

SO THEY CREATED THE DISCIPLINARY ALTERNATIVE EDUCATION PROGRAM THERE AS WELL AS THE ACCELERATED ACADEMY AT BROCK, WHICH HELPED THOSE KIDS WHO WERE BEHIND, UM, GET, UM, GET ADDITIONAL HELP IN GETTING BACK ON BOARD.

THEY ARE ALSO ESL CERTIFIED.

THEY ARE SPED CERTIFIED.

UM, SO WE FELT VERY CONFIDENT AND VERY FORTUNATE TO HAVE SOMEONE WITH THESE QUALIFICATIONS, UM, TO COME ABOARD AS THE DIRECTOR OF THE JJAP.

SO I GUESS MY NEXT QUESTION IS JUST SIMPLY SIMILAR TO, AND I GUESS THIS IS PROBABLY A JOINT QUESTION FOR BRIANNA AS WELL, SIMILAR TO THE PAYCHECK ISSUE.

IS THERE ANYTHING THAT US, GIVEN THAT IT APPEARS THAT WE'RE INTERESTED TO COMMISSIONER WALDEN'S POINT IN DELAYING THE APPROVAL OF THESE SPECIFIC NUMBERS? DOES THAT HAMSTRING THIS PERSON, ARE THEY GONNA BE SITTING THERE WITHOUT A COMPUTER TWIDDLING THEIR THUMBS? THAT'S, THAT'S NOT GOOD.

OBVIOUSLY EITHER THEY CANNOT GET A PURCHASE ORDER TO PURCHASE SUPPLIES, A COMPUTER, A DESK, ANY SORT OF ITEM WITHOUT A PURCHASE ORDER.

I MEAN, THERE SHOULD BE A BUDGET APPROVED AND ESTABLISHED BEFORE WE'RE PAYING.

I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY OUR PAYROLL SYSTEM ALLOWS IT, BUT AGAIN, YOU'RE INCURRING EXPENSES WITH NO ESTABLISHED BUDGET, WHICH SHOULD BE

[01:30:01]

THERE.

SO ASHLEY, WHAT DO THEY HAVE RIGHT NOW AS FAR AS THE ABILITY TO WORK? UM, ARE THEY WORKING ON A COMPUTER RIGHT NOW? YES.

WE, WE DO HAVE AN EXTRA COMPUTER, UM, IN, IN THE OFFICE BECAUSE WE HAVE A PROBATION OFFICER WHO IS ON ACTIVE MILITARY, UM, DUTY.

AND SO THEY ARE ABLE TO UTILIZE THAT, UH, OFFICE FOR RIGHT NOW.

WE, UM, DO HAVE A NEW EMPLOYEE THAT IS COMING ABOARD, UM, AS WELL AND ARE IN THE PROCESS OF FILLING TWO VACANT POSITIONS.

UM, BECAUSE YOU KNOW, AS I'M SURE EVERY DEPARTMENT IS FILLING, UH, WE ARE CERTAINLY, UH, WE HAVE POSITION VACANCIES THAT WE NEED TO FILL, BUT THEY ARE ABLE TO HAVE A COMPUTER AT THE PROBATION DEPARTMENT.

THERE IS NOTHING SET UP AT THE JJAP CURRENTLY TO MAKE THAT A FUNCTIONAL BUILDING FOR ANYONE.

SO GIVEN THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT POTENTIALLY DELAYING THE APPROVAL OF THIS UNTIL THE NEXT COURT, WHICH IS JUNE 20, WELL NO, WHAT I WOULD RECOMMEND WOULD BE IS THAT ONCE WE WOULD, AFTER THAT JUVENILE BOARD MEETING, WHAT I WOULD RECOMMEND IS WE HAVE A SPECIAL SESSION MONDAY, THIS COMING MONDAY.

UM, THAT WOULD BE AFTER THAT.

THEN WE CAN PUT THAT ON THE, JUST A SINGLE AGENDA ITEM TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE RELEVANT TO WHAT YOUR ISSUES ARE, JUDGE, JUST SO SUPERINTENDENT MEETING NOT BE AVAILABLE MONDAY.

UM, ON THE 13TH, THE JUVENILE BOARD MEETING, THE NEXT JUVENILE BOARD MEETING IS I BELIEVE FRIDAY THE 21ST.

OH, I THOUGHT IT WAS THIS FRIDAY.

I DON'T, IT'S THE THIRD FRIDAY.

I DON'T.

I WOULD STILL, I WOULD STILL ASK THAT WE DO A SPECIAL SESSION TO ADDRESS THIS ON THERE.

SO WHAT I'M TRYING TO DIAL IN ON IS MM-HMM.

, HOWEVER FAR OUT WE DELAY THIS MM-HMM.

, IS THERE ANYTHING THAT YOU ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO HAVE BEFORE THEN SO THAT AS THIS NEWLY ESTABLISHED DEPARTMENT THAT WE'RE TRYING TO GROW AND GET OFF THE GROUND, ALL OF THOSE THINGS.

IS THERE ANYTHING THAT YOU ABSOLUTELY NEED RIGHT NOW THAT WE COULD HANDLE ON A ONE-OFF BASIS SO THAT YOU DON'T WE DON'T HAVE THE SITUATION WHERE SOMEBODY'S SITTING THERE NOT DOING ANYTHING BECAUSE THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING 'CAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE WHAT THEY NEED? WELL, UM, IN, IN ALL FAIRNESS, I WOULD SUGGEST OR PROMOTE TO THE COMMISSIONER'S COURT THAT THIS IS THE STARTING BUDGET TO GET US OFF THE UP AND RUNNING AND BE ABLE TO FUNCTION KNOWING THAT WE HAVE TO HAVE A START DATE THAT ESSENTIALLY ALIGNS WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT IN WHICH WE'RE GOING TO ALIGN OUR JJAP SCHOOL CALENDAR WITH, WHICH IS WEATHERFORD ISD.

SO WE, WE HAVE TO BE UP AND FUNCTIONAL BY AUGUST, UM, THE 14TH.

SO I THINK THAT THAT IS CRITICAL FOR, FOR THE COMMISSIONERS TO ALREADY UNDERSTAND THE, THE TIME CONSTRAINT, UM, THAT WE ARE UNDER IF WE CONTINUE TO DELAY THE PROCESS AND ACCOUNT FOR ORDERING OF MATERIALS AND DELIVERING OF MATERIALS AND THEN BEING READY TO RECEIVE STUDENTS IN A LITTLE OVER 60 DAYS.

JUST FOR THE RECORD, YES SIR.

I'M SPECIAL ED CERTIFIED.

I'M AN ADMINISTRATOR CERTIFIED.

I HAVE CREATED A MULTI-DISTRICT, DAEP AND I'M VERY FAMILIAR WITH ALL THE EDUCATIONAL THINGS THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

AND THESE FEW DAYS ARE NOT GONNA MAKE MUCH DIFFERENCE.

SO I, AGAIN, ASK THE COURT TO DELAY PASS THE TIME WHEN WE HAVE, UH, THE MEETING WITH THE ISDS AND PASS THE TIME WHEN WE MEET WITH THE JUVENILE BOARD BECAUSE I WANT TO, I WANT TO BE THERE TOO.

YOU, I WOULD ASK THE JUVENILE BOARD HAVE AN AGENDA ITEM ON THERE WHERE IT CAN BE ADDRESSED BY THE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE COMMISSIONER'S COURT.

CERTAINLY 'CAUSE MY ROLE AS, AS, AS A BOARD MEMBER, MY ROLE WOULD BE DIFFERENT THAN THAT WITH WHAT COMMISSIONER WALDEN WOULD BE ON THERE.

SO WHAT ARE THE DATES OF THOSE? 13TH AND THE 21ST IS WHAT I HEARD, I BELIEVE, IS THAT FRIDAY THE 21ST, I DON'T HAVE A CALENDAR RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME, BUT I BELIEVE OKAY.

FRIDAY THE 21ST.

THAT IS THE THIRD FRIDAY OF THE MONTH.

VERY WELL.

SO JUST TO CLARIFY HERE, UH, TO WHAT MR. WALTON HAS COMMENTS ARE THAT WE WILL TAKE NO ACTION ON THIS ITEM.

IS THERE ANY COMMENTS ON THAT? I MEAN, WE ARE OBVIOUSLY IF THERE'S PERSONNEL BEING HAVE ALREADY HIRED, INCURRING EXPENSES, WE DON'T HAVE A BUDGET ESTABLISHED.

AND AGAIN, I MEAN THE BUDGET WAS APPROVED, RIGHT.

OF WHAT THOSE LINE ITEMS WERE.

I MEAN IN DETAIL, IT'S JUST WE CREATED GL ACCOUNTS TO ACTUALLY ACCOUNT FOR ALL THOSE WHEN WE NEED.

SO IF THE BUDGET'S THERE WHEN NEED, WELL THE BUDGET ISN'T ALIGNED, IT NEEDS TO BE IN THE PROPER, I MEAN, AGAIN, YOU APPROVED IT, BUT I FELT LIKE I DIDN'T WANT TO JUST SET UP A BUDGET WITHOUT GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS.

ARE YOU SAYING THE OF IT, YOU ALL APPROVED ALL THESE LINE ITEMS PREVIOUSLY AND IT WAS A DETAILED BUDGET AND AN AMOUNT WAS APPROVED FOR THAT BUDGET THAT BROKE OUT ALL THOSE LINE ITEMS. BUT BECAUSE IT WAS SO LATE IN THE BUDGET PROCESS THAT THE J-J-A-E-P BUDGET WAS ESTABLISHED.

GL? HOW ARE THEY GONNA ROLL UP? AND JUST LIKE ASHLEY SPOKE TO, YOU KNOW, HOW SOME OF THESE AGREEMENTS WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT ARE GONNA BE, IS IT GONNA BE AN OPERATING EXPENSE OR IS IT GONNA BE IN A SALARY LINE ITEM OR CONTRACT SERVICES? AND SO AT THAT TIME WE THOUGHT, WELL, AND I HAD, I HAD CALLED ASHLEY AND I SAID, WE'RE JUST GONNA PUT IT IN A LINE JUST SO WE HAVE A, A BUDGET IN THERE FOR J-J-A-E-P.

IT DIDN'T GIVE MY OFFICE ANY TIME TO GO THROUGH AND SEE, OKAY, WHAT LINES DO WE NEED TO ACTUALLY PUT TOGETHER IN THE

[01:35:01]

AND THEN AT THE TIME THAT WE WERE ACTUALLY GONNA MAKE EXPENDITURES, WE'LL GET TOGETHER AND GO THROUGH WHAT LINE ITEMS ARE NECESSARY.

AND SO ASHLEY WORKED WITH PAM IN MY OFFICE TO GO THROUGH AND SET UP ALL THESE GL ACCOUNTS.

SO NOW WE'RE JUST ALLOCATING THAT BUDGET BASED ON WHAT WAS PREVIOUSLY APPROVED.

BUT AGAIN, BECAUSE IT IS A BUDGET ADJUSTMENT, I FELT THAT IT NEEDED TO GO THROUGH COURT.

SO WE HAVE THE TOTAL AMOUNT, THIS 360 1, WHICH IS LESS THAN THE AMOUNT WE APPROVED.

CORRECT.

IT WAS LIKE 800 AND SOMETHING THOUSAND.

SO IT'S LITERALLY JUST TAKING IT FROM PROGRAM CONTINGENCY WHERE WE PUT IT AGAIN 'CAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO SET IT ALL UP.

SO WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS WE PUT ALL 800,000 IN PROGRAM CONTINGENCY.

NOW WE'RE SIMPLY CHANGING IT FROM PROGRAM CONTINGENCY.

CORRECT.

WHICH IS WHY ON THIS ONE WE HAVE THE OFFSETTING PROGRAM CONTINGENCY.

YES, THAT IS CORRECT.

SO WE'RE JUST ALLOCATING IT TO THE GL ACCOUNTS THAT ARE APPROPRIATE TO PAY THEM OUT OF.

AND AGAIN, WE WEREN'T SURE WITH JJAP IF THERE'S ANY CERTAIN REPORTING FOR THE STATE OR ANYTHING ELSE BECAUSE SOMETIMES, UM, ON SOME OF THOSE WE SET UP ACCOUNT LINES A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY BECAUSE OF HOW THEY EXPECT IT TO BE REPORTED.

AND SO THAT'S WHY WE DIDN'T DO, JUDGE, I'M GONNA MOVE THAT WE APPROVE THE SALARY ITEM IN THAT, IN THIS ITEM ONLY.

I'LL SECOND THAT.

AND JUST TO BE CLEAR, THAT WOULD BE SALARY AND ALL BENEFITS.

SO IT WOULD BE SALARIES THROUGH THE CELL PHONE ALLOWANCE.

WE HAVE A MOTION, MOTION RELATED MATTER.

MOTION A SECOND.

IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM? ALL IN FAVOR.

MOTION PASSED BY VOTE.

THANK YOU FOR COMING, TAKING THE TIME TO DO THAT.

ALSO, ASHLEY, IF YOU WOULD JUST TO CLARIFY AND GET WITH RICH, UM, JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT, THAT, UH, WE CAN SET THAT UP FOR MONDAY AND GO AHEAD AND GET THAT SET UP.

WE'RE IN A SPECIFIC FOR THE NEXT MONDAY FOR AN EXECUTIVE SESSION.

IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO? YES.

THANK YOU RICH AND COURT.

GOOD, THANK YOU.

WE WILL MOVE TO

[7.C. Discuss/Approve contract between Tri-County and Precinct 2 for a light at JE Woody Rd. & Collins Ln. (Commissioner Holt)]

ITEM SIX C.

I WANNA DISCUSS APPROVED CONTRACT BETWEEN TRICOUNTY AND PRECINCT TWO FOR ALLOTTED J WOODY ROAD AND COLLINS LANE COMMISSIONER.

THIS IS A PRETTY SIMPLE DEAL.

BASICALLY WE'RE SETTING UP AN AGREEMENT WITH TRI-COUNTY, AND I THINK KIM IS WORKING WITH CARISSA IN OUR OFFICE.

I THINK IT'S GONNA COST APPROXIMATELY $10 A MONTH TO HAVE A LIGHT INSTALLED ON AN EXISTING TRI-COUNTY POLE THAT WILL GIVE VISIBILITY TO THIS INTERSECTION.

IT'S A DARK WINDY INTERSECTION.

THERE'S A LOT OF, UM, ELDERLY RESIDENTS WHO LIVE THERE.

AND WE JUST LIKE TO HAVE A STREETLIGHT EFFECTIVELY PUT UP.

SO THIS IS, UH, THE COUNTY'S GONNA BE PAYING 10 BUCKS A MONTH APPROXIMATELY? YES SIR.

FOR THIS OUT OF, OUT OF MY, OUT OF, UH, OUT OF PRECINCT TWO BUDGET.

OUT OF MY BUDGET.

THIS IS JUST, I GUESS WE'LL DISCUSS IT IF WE GET A SECOND.

SO JUST TO BE CLEAR, I'M, I'M NOT TRYING TO DO ANYTHING OTHER THAN HELP SOME ELDERLY RESIDENTS IN MY PRECINCT.

I'LL SECOND THE MOTION.

SO WE'RE IN THE DISCUSSION PHASE.

THIS IS GONNA OPEN UP A BIG CAN OF WORMS FOR PUTTING LIGHTS ON EVERY INTERSECTION.

IT SEEMS TO ME LIKE, I THINK ON A CASE BY CASE, I, I WOULD AGREE WITH YOU IF WE DID IT BLANKET, BUT I, ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS, I HAVE PEOPLE CALLING ALL THE TIME ON LIGHTS AT INTERSECTIONS 'CAUSE IT'S SO DARK AND WE, WE'VE GOT A LOT OF ELDERLY RESIDENTS THERE AND IT IS A TOUGH INTERSECTION.

SO THAT'S WHY I'M, WELL, I KNOW THIS WHERE THIS INTERSECTION IS, IT'S A LITTLE SHORT ROAD, BUT I THINK THE ARGUMENT CAN BE MADE, YOU CAN OPEN PANDORA'S BOX WITH THIS, BUT AGAIN, IT'S YOU, YOU RELY ON THE COMMISSIONER TO RUN ITS PRECINCT PCS OF SAFETY THERE.

WELL, IT'S MORNING, BUT, BUT IT'S GONNA AFFECT ALL OF THIS COMMISSIONERS ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS.

ONCE THEY REALIZE THAT, UH, WE'RE GONNA START PUTTING LIGHTS UP AT INTERSECTION.

WELL, ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS, AND I'M, I'M MAKING, I'M AGAIN BRINGING SPECTIVE PRECINCTS.

YOU USE THE SAME SCENARIO AT EACH INTERSECTION.

THERE'S PEOPLE THAT LIVE THERE, OLD PEOPLE KIDS.

WE GONNA LIGHT UP THE WHOLE COUNTY ONLY PRECINCT ONE .

WELL, IT'S, IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE.

THE INTERSECTION.

IF THE GENERAL FUND WANTS TO PAY FOR ALL THESE INTERSECTION LIGHTS, I'M PART OF THAT.

BUT TO TAKE IT OUTTA MY BUDGET,

[01:40:01]

I'M CERTAINLY NOT TRYING TO.

I WELL, IT'S A CONVERSATION WE NEED TO HAVE AND THAT'S, THAT'S WHY IT'S GONNA COME.

THIS IS GONNA OPEN IT UP FOR OTHER INTERSECTIONS TO, TO BE LIT UP.

I TOO HAVE PEOPLE FREQUENTLY CALL AND ASK WHEN WE'RE GONNA PUT THE STREET LIGHTS UP.

YEAH, I I DO TOO.

SO, AND I, I TELL THEM THAT TRADE OFF, IT'S COME OUT INCORPORATED AREAS OF THE COUNTY BUDGET.

I DON'T MIND CITY COMES OUT A GENERAL FUND, BUT NOT OUT OF PRECINCT BUDGET.

BUT TO ME, THE SAFETY INCREASE FOR THE RESIDENTS ON THAT ROAD, AND YOU KNOW, WE HAVE IT, WE HAVE FOLKS ASK ABOUT MULTIPLE DIFFERENT INTERSECTIONS AND A LOT OF TIMES WE'LL SAY NO DEPENDING ON THE INTERSECTION, BUT IN MY OPINION, PRECINCT TWO, WE HAVE THE FUNDS TO SUPPORT THIS PARTICULAR EXPENDITURE.

AND OH, I'M NOT DENYING THAT THE VALUE THAT WE GET FROM PUTTING A LIGHT UP AT THIS PARTICULAR INTERSECTION FAR EXCEEDS THE MONETARY COST.

AND, UM, YEAH, THAT'S, I MEAN, TRYING TO KEEP PEOPLE SAFE, IT'S HARD TO MAKE THE ARGUMENT AGAINST WHAT A COMMISSIONER'S MAKING A DISCUSSION ABOUT AND TRYING TO IMPROVE PUBLIC SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF THESE ISSUES, SPECIFICALLY IN PRECINCT TWO.

WITH, WITH WHAT'S GOING ON IN THOSE, SOME OF THOSE ROADS OUT THERE THAT WE'RE DESPERATELY TRYING TO GET ACCELERATED ON COMPLETION.

UH, IT'S HARD TO MAKE THAT ARGUMENT AGAINST THAT, EVEN THOUGH I THINK ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS, I THINK EACH RESPECTIVE COMMISSIONER, UH, SHOULD HAVE THAT ABILITY AND THE DISCRETION, WHETHER IT COMES OUT OF PUBLIC FUND, WHERE IT COMES OUT OF THE GENERAL FUND OR IT COMES OUT OF THE PRECINCT'S BUDGET.

I THINK WE NEED TO FOCUS ON NUMBER ONE, WE'RE TRYING TO SAVE LIVES HERE AND I JUST, I JUST WANT TO, WELL, WE BETTER GET READY TO PUT ONE ON EVERY INTERSECTION THEN, BECAUSE YOU'RE GONNA HAVE THE SAME EXCUSE OF WHY WE NEED ONE ON EVERY INTERSECTION.

AND I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM DOING IT AS LONG AS IT COMES OUT OF A GENERAL FUND, NOT MY BUDGET.

SO IS THIS, DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER LIGHTS THAT ARE COUNTY FUNDED? NO.

SO THIS WOULD BE THE FIRST YES.

WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND WHERE THE DISCUSSION PHASE.

IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM? COMMISSIONER, YOU WANT TO ADD ANYTHING ELSE BEFORE WE GO TO VOTE? MS. FOWLER? MR. FOWLER? I'M NOT, I'M NOT GONNA VOTE AGAINST IT.

I'M JUST SAYING WHAT'S GOING.

UH, NO, I THINK YOUR POINT'S WELL TAKEN COMMISSIONER, UH, YOURS TOO AS WELL.

UH, AGAIN, AGAIN, I'LL SAY THAT, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU LIVE IN THE UNINCORPORATED AREAS, YOU CAN'T HAVE ALL THE THINGS THAT YOU HAVE.

UH, HOWEVER, IF HE WANTS TO FUND IT FROM HIS BUDGET, UH, THEN I'M, BUT IF I HAVE THE SAME REQUEST, UH, I WOULD HAVE TO EVALUATE IT ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS.

BUT PRIOR TO TODAY, THE ANSWER HAS ALWAYS BEEN NO.

BECAUSE WE CAN'T AFFORD TO LIGHT EVERY INTERSECTION IN THE UNINCORPORATED AREAS OF PRECINCT THREE NOT OUTTA PRECINCT BUDGETS.

RIGHT, RIGHT.

WELL, IT PROBABLY ANYBODY'S BUDGET.

WELL, IT'S STILL TAXPAYER MONEY, REGARDLESS OF FACT IT COMES FROM, BUT WHERE IT COMES FROM, I KNOW.

UH, YOU KNOW, I, I UNDERSTAND.

YEAH, I UNDERSTAND BOTH, BOTH SIDES VERY WELL.

BUT I, I DON'T HAVE ANY THAT, YOU KNOW, IF THERE HAD BEEN ANY, UH, UH, IF THERE HAD BEEN ACCIDENTS THERE, UH, THAT THEN THERE MIGHT TAKE SOME PRIORITY.

BUT, UH, WHAT MIGHT COME FROM THIS WOULD BE A CRITERIA, UH, MUCH LIKE TEXDOT WOULD USE BEFORE THEY WOULD LIGHT IN THE INTERSECTION, FOR EXAMPLE.

THERE HAS TO BE SOME CRITERIA IN PLACE OTHER THAN JUST SAY, WELL, I'M, I'M AN OLDER CITIZEN, I CAN'T SEE WELL ENOUGH TO DRIVE.

YOU KNOW, I MEAN, IT'S, IT'S, IT'S, IT'S GONNA BE, IT'S GONNA BE A CASE BY CASE BASIS, BUT THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME CRITERIA APPLIED OR WE'RE GOING TO BE BUYING STREETLIGHTS ALL OVER PARKER COUNTY BECAUSE YOU CAN'T SAY NO THEN BECAUSE IT'S SAFER HERE THAN IT IS, YOU KNOW, IT'S MORE DANGEROUS HERE THAN IT IS THERE.

HEY, YOU DON'T HAVE ANY CRITERIA FOR THAT OTHER THAN ACCIDENT REPORTS.

UH, SO YEAH, WE EVALUATED THIS LOCATION AND THERE'S SOME LINE OF SIGHT CHALLENGES FOR ANYONE, LET ALONE SOMEONE WHO'S OLDER.

BUT MY, UH, I'LL, I'LL BE PRETTY BLUNT THAT MY CONCERN LEVEL IS HIGHER WHEN AN ISSUE AFFECTS ELDERLY RESIDENTS OR YOUNGER RESIDENTS, UM, KIDS.

SO IN THIS CASE, WE FEEL LIKE THIS IS A GOOD EXPENDITURE PRECINCT, TWO MONTHS.

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

[01:45:01]

SINCERELY, PARKER COUNTY COMMISSIONER'S COURT.

FIVE OH, I, WE WILL MOVE TO ITEM

THE UNIVERSITY HAS EXPRESSED INTEREST IN EXPANDING ITS ACADEMIC OFFERINGS AND SER SERVICES IN PARKER COUNTY BY BUILDING A NEW CAMPUS THAT WOULD PROVIDE ACCESS TO HIGH QUALITY EDUCATION AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT FOR THE COUNTY'S RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES.

UT'S NEW CAMPUS WOULD ENHANCE THE ECONOMIC, SOCIAL AND CULTURAL VITALITY OF PARKER COUNTY AND THE REGION OF CREATING A NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR COLLABORATION, INNOVATION, AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT.

AND I UNDERSTAND YOU'VE TALKED WITH SENATOR KING ABOUT THIS.

YES, SIR.

UM, SENATOR KING'S, UM, WORKED VERY DILIGENTLY ON THIS.

UM, I'VE WORKED VERY DILIGENTLY ON THIS.

I THINK IT'S A PRETTY EXCITING TIME WHEN, WHEN A UNIVERSITY OF THAT SIZE AND STATURE IS GIVING YOUR, YOUR COUNTY CONSIDERATION AND MAKE THAT TYPE OF INVESTMENT.

AND I THINK IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR PARKER COUNTY, ESPECIALLY FOR OUR, OUR KIDS AND UP AND COMERS AND DEGREE PROGRAMS. AND IT WILL HELP FEED A LOT OF THESE CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS THAT ARE LOOKING AT RELOCATING PARKER COUNTY AND TEXAS.

AND I, I THINK IT'S, UH, A GREAT OPPORTUNITY, UH, THAT HOPEFULLY SENATOR KING WE CAN, WE CAN SHOW OUR SUPPORT AND HE'S ABLE TO, TO HELP, UM, WITH THEM AS FAR AS FINDING THE, UH, THE FINANCING AND, AND GETTING THE FUNDS ALLOCATED TO GET IT DONE.

I I CONCUR WITH THAT.

AND I, I SPECIFICALLY DISCUSSED A PART OF THAT LETTER WITH COMMISSIONER HALE ON THE PART WHERE, UH, WE, UH, COMMIT TO, UH, IT'S BA IT'S, THAT IS CONTINGENT ON THE BUDGET AND FURTHER DISCUSSION.

OBVIOUSLY WE'RE NOT COMMITTING ANY FUNDS TODAY TO THIS, BUT THE DISCUSSION OF THOSE FUNDS AND HOW WE MIGHT HELP FACILITATE THIS.

SO I JUST WANNA CLARIFY THAT.
