Jun 24, 2024 Commissioners Court

IS THERE ANY OTHER COMMENT THAT, WOULD WE MOVE ON? THERE'S NOT VERY MANY JOBS THAT YOU HAVE THAT YOU, YOU MIGHT GET SHOT AT ANY AND EVERY CALL THAT YOU GET.

AND, UH, I THINK PEOPLE WANNA LOOK AT THE SALARIES AND SAY, WELL, MY SALARIES NEEDS TO BE COMPARABLE TO THAT SALARY, BUT THERE'S, THERE'S NO OTHER POSITIONS IN, IN THE COUNTY THAT YOU GET SHOT AT.

SO I APPRECIATE THE SERVICE AND I APPRECIATE THE, THE WILLINGNESS OF THOSE GUYS TO TAKE ON THAT AWESOME RESPONSIBILITY THAT THEY HAVE.

OKAY, WE'RE GONNA MOVE ON.

UM, ON THE RADIO PROJECT.

JOHN, I BELIEVE THAT'S EIGHT K, IS IT NOT? THAT'S CORRECT.

DOWN THE AGENDA ITEM AGAIN ON THE DISCUSS, TAKE ACTION ON THE RADIO PROJECT WITH MOTOROLA.

WE'RE GONNA MOVE

[Items 6.B. & 8.K.]

UH, COMMISSIONER CONLEY HAS PUT THIS ON THERE.

WE DO HAVE SEVERAL PEOPLE THAT, UM, UH, WAS GONNA TALK ABOUT THIS.

UM, IF THEY WOULD.

[00:10:01]

UH, WE DID HAVE A, UH, AND WE WILL ADDRESS THAT AT ONE O'CLOCK ON THE RESIGNATION OR THE, UH, RETIREMENT OF OUR, UH, EMERGENCY OPERATIONS FIRE MARSHAL, UM, SEAN HUGHES.

UH, BUT WE DO HAVE PEOPLE HERE THAT WILL SPEAK ON THIS.

UM, IF Y'ALL WOULD, UM, COME UP.

MR. SCOTT, DO YOU WANT TO COME UP, BRING UP THE ONES THAT YOU WANT TO BRING UP? AND UNLESS Y'ALL MIND, WE'LL, UH, UH, WE HAD BEEN ORIGINALLY BEEN ASKED, UH, TO STEP UP AND DO A QUICK UPDATE ON THE PROJECT AND WHERE THINGS ARE AND WHAT'S GOING ON.

SO, UH, IF YOU GUYS DON'T MIND, WE'LL ACTUALLY PLUG IN AND DO THAT REAL QUICK.

THIS IS BOB BROWN WITH MOTOROLA.

HE'S THE PROJECT MANAGER FROM MOTOROLA FOR, UH, THE COUNTY PROJECT.

AND MR. BROWN, WE'LL JUMP INTO THIS.

SO ACTUALLY BACK UP HERE AT THE BEGINNING.

SO LIKE I ALREADY MENTIONED, UM, YEAH, THE PROJECT, THIS IS JUST KIND OF AN UPDATE OF, UH, A RECAP OF WHAT WAS ORIGINALLY DONE OR WHAT THE ORIGINAL PLAN WAS.

UM, ADDING 700 MEG TO ALL THE EXISTING SITES, PLUS THE NEW SITE THAT'S GONNA GO OUT IN PRECINCT THREE.

UM, MOBILE NEW MOBILE RADIOS FOR THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE.

UM, AND NEW, UH, PORTABLE RADIOS FOR THEM.

ADDING LOCATION SERVICES TO THOSE RADIOS AS WELL.

AND ADDING SIMULCAST AND TDMA OPERATION TO THE SYSTEM.

CURRENTLY WE'VE MANAGED TO GET 117 OF THOSE PORTABLES IN, WHICH IS THE TOTAL COUNT FOR, FOR HANDHELD RADIOS.

129 OF THE MOBILES HAVE BEEN DELIVERED AND MOST OF THEM HAVE BEEN INSTALLED.

UH, 36 OF THE 40, UM, VEHICLE ADAPTERS HAVE BEEN INSTALLED.

ALL THE NEW CONSULATES HAVE BEEN INSTALLED AT THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE.

UH, A LOT OF THE DOCUMENTATION AND PAPERWORK FOR TOWER ASSESSMENTS HAVE HAS BEEN COMPLETING FOR ALL OF THE EXISTING SITES.

AND, AND THE PRECINCT THREE SITE LOGGING RECORDER HAS BEEN INSTALLED AT THE EOC, UH, RELOCATION OF THE TWO CONSOLES.

THE RADIO DISPATCH CONSOLES THAT WERE AT THE, UH, EOC AND THE, AND FIRE DISPATCH HAVE BEEN RELOCATED FROM THERE OVER TO, UH, THE NEW FIRE DISPATCH SLASH HOSPITAL DISTRICT DISPATCH CENTER OVER AT THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT FACILITY.

UM, THE NEW CONSOLES HAVE BEEN REINSTALLED AT THE EOC, SO THERE'S FOUR POSITIONS THERE AS A BACKUP DISPATCH CENTER HAS BEEN COMPLETED.

UM, I INSTALL OF THE HARDWARE AT THE TOWER SITES, AGNES, VANGUARD, AND COOL SITES, THREE OF THE, THREE OF THE SIX SITES THAT HARDWARE HAS BEEN INSTALLED.

UM, AND OF COURSE, THE REGULATORY STUDIES, ANYTIME WE'RE USING FEDERAL FUNDS, THERE'S A PLETHORA OF REGULATORY STUDIES THAT HAVE TO BE DONE.

WE'VE MANAGED TO GET ALL OF THAT STUFF DONE AS WELL.

SOFTWARE UPDATES TO THE CORE DID CAUSE A PAUSE IN THE SYSTEMS, UM, BETWEEN MARCH AND, AND THIS PAST MAY WHILE WE DID THOSE, THOSE SOFTWARE UPDATES ON THE MAIN CORE, BUT THAT'S BEEN COMPLETED AS WELL.

UM, PRECINCT THREE, UH, THE NEW TOWER THAT'S GONNA GO IN BROCK, UM, THAT FOUND, YOU KNOW, THE, THE STUDIES THERE FOR THAT SITE HAVE BEEN COMPLETED, INCLUDING, UH, ALL THE NEFA AND CHIPO STUDIES THAT ARE REQUIRED THERE.

SO THAT SITE IS READY TO, TO BE CONSTRUCTED.

SHELTERS DUE TO BE DELIVERED IN AUGUST, AND THE TOWER IN CONSTRUCTION AND SETTING OF THAT SHELTER SHOULD BE COMPLETE IN AUGUST OR SEPTEMBER OF THIS.

SHE, UM, WE HAVE SOME BACKUPS, UH, WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE AAL SITE, AND I'LL GET INTO THAT IN DETAIL HERE IN JUST A FEW MINUTES.

UH, BUT WE DO HAVE THE CRITICAL CONNECT PIECE, THE SOFTWARE PIECE THAT'LL BE COMPLETED THIS NEXT MONTH.

THE AAL SITE IS KIND OF WHERE SOME OF OUR DELAYS START.

UM, THE SITE, ONCE THE STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS OF THAT SITE WAS DONE, UH, THAT SITE WAS DETERMINED THAT IT WOULDN'T HOLD ALL OF THE NEW EQUIPMENT.

UH, WE KIND OF EXPECTED THAT.

THAT'S THE OLD SITE? THE OLD SITE, CORRECT.

BUT, UM, WE STILL HAVEN'T GOT A NEW SHELTER THERE YET.

THE OLD SITE, WE KIND OF EXPECTED THAT AND REMEDIATION DOLLARS WERE INCLUDED IN THE PROJECT AS PART TO, TO BRING THAT, THAT SITE UP TO, TO PAR TO BE ABLE TO HANDLE THE NEW EQUIPMENT.

UH, THE SITE OWNER DOES NOT WANT US TO DO THAT WORK TO THAT SITE.

UH, SO THERE WAS A, A PUSH TO FIND A NEW LOCATION FOR THAT, UH, EQUIPMENT TO GO.

AND THAT'S WHERE THE TRI-COUNTY SLASH SMITH SITE, UH, CAME INTO PLAY.

AND I'LL TALK MORE ABOUT THE SMITH SITE HERE IN JUST A FEW MINUTES.

THE COUNTY'S ALREADY DONE THE, THE SITE CLEARING, UH, AT THE NEW SMITH SITE AND ABLE TO, UH, GET US MOVING THERE.

THE MAIN SITE IS ALSO A DELAYED, SO THIS IS A SITE THAT'S JUST HERE NORTH OF THE CITY.

UM, THE SITE THERE, THE SHELTER, AS IT WAS MENTIONED IN THE MISSION CRITICAL REPORT, IS IN IN POOR CONDITION.

THERE'S HOLES IN THE FLOOR, HOLES IN, IN, IN THE WALLS.

SO, UM, THAT SITE, IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

THE SITE OWNER, UM, WAS TO PROVIDE A NEW SHELTER.

UM, EVIDENTLY THERE WAS AN AGREEMENT WORKED OUT BETWEEN THE COUNTY AND, AND THE SITE OWNER THIS LAST SUMMER.

I DON'T KNOW THE DETAILS OF THAT SPECIFICALLY,

[00:15:01]

AND SO, UM, LAST WORD THAT WE GOT WAS NEXT MONTH.

UM, YEAH, HE IS SAYING THAT IT WOULD BE JULY.

UM, HE'S ORDERING PARTS AND WHAT HAVE YOU.

UM, CAVEAT, WE'VE HEARD THAT BEFORE.

SO NOT REAL CONFIDENT THAT IT'S JULY, BUT THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TOLD NOW.

UNFORTUNATELY, THAT'S BEEN THE, IT'LL NEXT MONTH, NEXT MONTH, NEXT MONTH.

SO, UM, THE AGNES SITE, UM, AND, AND THIS ONE, I'LL, I'LL LET BOB KIND OF TALK TO SOME MORE, BUT, UH, THERE WERE A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT THINGS THAT THE STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS AND, AND THE SITE OWNER, WHICH IS CROWN CASTLE, UH, BROUGHT TO OUR ATTENTION.

ONE WAS THE NEED FOR ADDITIONAL LIGHTING ON THAT SITE TO KEEP UP WITH CURRENT REGULATIONS.

UH, THAT PROJECT HAS BEEN COMPLETED.

WE GOT THE NEW LIGHTING AND SUCH DONE ON THAT SITE.

UM, BUT THAT THE TOP STRUCTURE, FOR LACK OF A BETTER TERM, WE CALL IT THE CANDELABRA, THE, THE STRUCTURE AT THE TOP OF TOWER HOLDS ALL OF THE ADDITIONAL HARDWARE.

UH, SOME OF THE STRUCTURAL SUPPORTS THERE FAILED ANALYSIS.

SO THOSE NEED TO BE REPLACED.

AND THAT COST HAS BEEN PROVIDED TO THE COUNTY.

WE DID KNOW THAT THIS WAS A POTENTIAL WHEN WE'D STARTED THE PROJECT, THERE IS REMEDIATION DOLLARS INCLUDED IN THE PROJECT FOR THAT, BUT WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN FINAL SIGN OFF ON THE CHANGE THE ORDER TO ACTUALLY MOVE FORWARD ON THAT.

SO THE AAL SITE DELAYED, AGNES SITE'S DELAYED AND THE MAIN SITE'S DELAYED.

IN ADDITION TO THAT, THE SMITH SITE OR THE TRI-COUNTY SITE, UM, THAT SITE, WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO COMPLETE THE STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS, THE FOUNDATION ANALYSIS AND TOWER SITE MAPPING AND ALL OF THOSE, UH, NECESSARY THINGS.

UH, WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN A GO AHEAD FROM THE COUNTY YET TO, TO GET THAT WORK DONE.

UM, AND, AND, AND THE COST ASSOCIATED WITH THAT.

THIS ALSO, AND I'LL GET INTO THIS A LITTLE BIT MORE AS WE GO THROUGH THE PROCESS.

THIS DELAYS US ON OTHER THINGS AS WE GO DOWN THE ROAD.

UM, AGAIN, THE COUNTY HAS ALREADY DONE SOME WORK THERE TO, TO MAKE THAT VISIBLE, YOU KNOW, SO WE CAN GET IN AND ACTUALLY DO THAT WORK.

UH, WE JUST HAVEN'T GOTTEN, GO AHEAD FROM THE COUNTY TO COME COMPLETE THAT WORK.

PART OF THE PROBLEM IS, IS THAT THE SITE OWNER CURRENTLY DOES NOT HAVE THE, AS-BUILT DOCUMENTATION FOR THAT SITE.

SO WE DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT, HOW IT WAS BUILT AND WHAT IT WAS DESIGNED TO HOLD.

SO WE'RE ACTUALLY GONNA HAVE TO GO BACK AND CHECK THE SITE AND RECONSTRUCT IT AND TO SEE WHAT IT WAS ACTUALLY DESIGNED TO HOLD, AND THEN MAKE SURE THAT IT'S GONNA HOLD WHAT WE'RE GOING TO PUT ON THAT SITE AND MAKE SURE THAT IT'S GONNA BE, YOU KNOW, HOW LONG IS IT GONNA TAKE TO MOVE THE EQUIPMENT FROM THE OLD SITE TO THE NEW SITE.

IF IT'S APPROVED THAT THE NEW SITE'S CAPABLE OF HOLDING THAT STUFF, HOW LONG IS THE SYSTEM GONNA BE SHUT DOWN IN THAT AREA? SO THAT'S TO BE DETERMINED.

UM, I'LL SAY THAT, AND, AND BOB, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT THERE, THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO MOVE SOME OF THE STUFF, GET IT TURNED ON, AND THEN BRING IT UP, AND THEN TAKE DOWN THE OLD STUFF SO THAT THERE ISN'T A LAPSE IN SERVICE.

UH, BUT THAT STILL DEPENDS ON IF WE'RE, IF WE'RE MOVING ALL OF IT OR WE'RE ONLY MOVING PART OF IT, UM, THOSE DECISIONS STILL HAVEN'T BEEN MADE.

AND, AND THAT'S SOMETHING WE NEED DIRECTION FROM THE COUNTY ON, IS HOW ARE WE MOVING ALL OF IT? ARE WE MOVING PART OF IT? THOSE DECISIONS STILL HAVEN'T MADE, WELL, THAT HAVEN'T BEEN BROUGHT TO US ON WHAT WE DO NEED TO MOVE.

SO YEAH, THERE'S SOME, SOME SIGNIFICANT DISCUSSIONS THAT WE NEED TO HAVE WITH THE COURT AND, AND, AND THE COUNTY ON THAT IS, IS HOW WE WANT TO DO THAT.

'CAUSE THERE'S, THERE'S A COUPLE DIFFERENT WAYS TO DO THAT THAT'LL MINIMIZE THE IMPACT TO THE COUNTY.

THAT, AND, AND THERE'S ANOTHER ITEM ON THE AGENDA.

I'VE BEEN VISITING WITH TRI-COUNTY, UH, JENNIFER, SEAN HAD AS WELL.

AND ALSO, UM, I HAVE THAT AGREEMENT.

IT'S ACTUALLY ON THE AGENDA TODAY TO ACCEPT THAT.

BUT MY UNDERSTANDING WAS THAT THE, IT WAS STRUCTURALLY SOUND FOR THIS PURPOSE.

UH, SECOND, WE ALSO HAVE ON HERE THE LEASE FROM THE SMITH.

I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THAT ATTORNEY, UH, TO GET THAT AGREEMENT TOGETHER.

UH, SEAN DID INDICATE THE OLD TOWER HELD SOME EQUIPMENT THAT COULD STAY OVER THERE THAT DIDN'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO MOVE OVER.

AND SO IT WOULDN'T BE A COMPLETE MOVE OF ALL THE EQUIPMENT.

IT'D JUST BE THE NEW STUFF GOING ON IN THE NEW TOWER.

SO THE NEW TOWER HAS BEEN APPROVED STRUCTURALLY.

IT HAS NOT.

THAT'S, AND THAT, THAT'S WHAT I, I WAS UNDER, UNDER THE UNDERSTANDING THAT THAT HADN'T BEEN, UH, COMPLETED YET.

UH, MY UNDERSTANDING WAS THAT HAD BEEN COMPLETED.

'CAUSE THAT WAS ON THE AGENDA TODAY TO ACCEPT THAT TOWER FROM TRI COUNTY.

OKAY, THANK YOU.

SO HAVING SAID ALL OF THAT, THE MICROWAVE SYSTEM THAT CONNECTS ALL OF THIS BACK TOGETHER IS KIND OF IN HOLD, UH, AS WELL.

BECAUSE WE CAN'T DESIGN, WE DON'T WANT TO SPEND THE EXTRA DOLLARS DESIGNING FOR SOMETHING THAT MAY OR NOT ACTUALLY HAPPEN.

SO UNTIL WE GET THE ANALYSIS DONE AND, AND GET EVERYTHING DONE AND PROVE THAT, UH, THE, UH, SMITH SITE'S VIABLE FOR THE COUNTY AND THAT IT'S ACTUALLY GONNA DO EVERYTHING WE NEEDED TO DO, UH, WE DIDN'T WANT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS PIECE.

WE DON'T KNOW HOW LONG THAT'S

[00:20:01]

GONNA TAKE.

UH, ONCE FOR, FOR WHICH PIECE OF IT, SIR? THE NEW TOWER, THE, FOR THE STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS, EVERYTHING, BOB.

THE STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS, UM, IS, IS PROBABLY A MONTH OR TWO MONTH PROCESS.

AND THEN THE MICROWAVE SYSTEM IS A SIX MONTH AT MINIMUM, WHICH WELL, BUT WE NEED TO KNOW IF WE CAN EVEN USE THE TOWER.

AND IN, IN TRI COUNTY'S LEASE RUNS THROUGH AUGUST.

SO YOU'D NEED TO PROBABLY BE COMPLETED PRIOR TO THAT IF WE COULD.

SO WE, WE COULD ABSOLUTELY, YEAH, DO THAT.

AGAIN, THESE ARE JUST STEPS THAT WE, YOU KNOW, WE LAY OUT AS A PURPOSE OF COST SAVINGS.

BUT, UM, AGAIN, TOO, ARE WE GOING TO LEAVE OLD EQUIPMENT AT THE EXISTING AAL SITE AND HAVE NEW EQUIPMENT AT SMITH SITE? ARE WE MOVING AT ALL? 'CAUSE IF, IF NOT, WE THERE, HOW DO WE MAKE THESE DIFFERENT LINKS? DO WE NEED TO BUY ADDITIONAL LINKS? THERE'S A LOT OF QUESTIONS THAT WE CAN'T MOVE FORWARD, ESPECIALLY WITH THIS PIECE OF IT UNTIL WE SPECIFICALLY KNOW WHAT THE DIRECTION OF THE COUNTY IS.

SO WHEN ARE WE GONNA HAVE THOSE DISCUSSIONS ON WHETHER WE MOVE ALL OF IT? WELL, I GUESS AT THIS POINT, NUMBER ONE, DETERMINE THAT WE CAN UTILIZE THE, THE OTHER TOWER.

WE DON'T DUNNO IF IT'LL HOLD IT.

SO, BUT THAT, THAT WILL HAVE TO BE COMPLETED FIRST.

YEAH, I GOT, SO AS WE MOVE INTO NEXT STEPS, THAT'S KIND OF EXACTLY WHERE WE'RE GOING, COMMISSIONER, IS, UM, YOU KNOW, WE NEED TO BE, WE NEED TO GET THE APPROVAL FROM THE COUNTY TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE STUDY ON THE, ON THE SMITH TOWER, GET THAT DONE, HAVE THAT ENGINEERING WORK DONE, BE ABLE TO COME BACK, PRESENT, YOU KNOW, THIS IS WHERE WE'RE AT AND YES, IT WILL WORK, OR NO, IT WILL NOT WORK.

AND, AND KIND OF SEE WHERE WE'RE AT FROM THERE.

THAT, THAT'S STEP NUMBER ONE.

AND THEN WE CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH MICROWAVE DESIGN, PAST STUDIES, ANALYSIS AND THAT KIND OF THING.

UM, ASSUMING THAT ALL OF THAT CONTINUES TO MOVE, UH, FROM OUR ORIGINAL, UM, EXPECTATIONS, WE WERE AT AN 18 TO 24 MONTH BUILD OUT.

UM, WE SHOULD BE DONE BY DECEMBER OF THIS YEAR, BUT WE'RE, WE'RE PROBABLY THREE TO SIX MONTHS BEHIND RIGHT NOW AND, AND, AND BEING ABLE TO GET THAT DONE.

SO, UM, WE NEED SOME DIRECTION FROM THE COUNTY AND WE NEED SOME SPECIFIC ATTENTION.

UM, AGAIN, I SAY ALL OF THAT TO GET TO THE FINAL POINT OF, UM, IF WE CAN, YOU KNOW, GET MOVING FORWARD, WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO, YOU KNOW, JUNE, ANYWHERE FROM MARCH TO JUNE OF NEXT YEAR, BE ABLE TO HAVE EVERYTHING UP IN OPERATION.

THAT INCLUDES THE PRECINCT THREE TOWER, THAT INCLUDES PRECINCT THREE TOWER, IN FACT, PRECINCT THREE TOWER IS, UH, UM, SHOULD BE UP.

AND, AND THE STEEL SHOULD BE ERECTED AND THE SHELTER SHOULD BE IN PLACE BY THE END OF SEPTEMBER OF THIS YEAR.

AND THEN WE'LL BE ABLE TO DO ALL THE COLD INSTALLS AND BE ABLE TO START INSTALLING EQUIPMENT.

AND ANTENNA IS ON THAT SIDE IMMEDIATELY AS WELL.

SO THAT ONE WILL BE ABSOLUTELY READY TO GO.

SO GUYS, THAT WAS A VERY SHORT, QUICK UPDATE ON WHERE WE'RE AT CURRENTLY AND WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON.

BOB IS HERE, CASEY MOORE FROM MOTOROLA'S HERE.

UH, WE'RE ABSOLUTELY HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS.

UH, I'M SURE THERE'S LOTS OF QUESTIONS AND, AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE HERE FOR.

CAN WE HAVE CASEY COME UP? ABSOLUTELY.

CASEY LOVES TO TALK.

, STATE YOUR NAME, PLEASE.

CASEY MOORE WITH MOTOROLA SOLUTIONS.

UH, IF YOU WOULD, CASEY, YOU HEARD WHAT'S SAID? YES, SIR.

UH, IS THERE ANY OTHER ADDITIONAL INPUTS THAT YOU WANT TO ADD TO THIS? I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY YOU, YOU COME HIGH REGARDED, SO IF YOU WOULD, I APPRECIATE IT.

UH, ANY OTHER INPUT YOU WANT TO ADD TO THIS AS WE PROCEED? UM, NO, I THINK WHAT WAS PRESENTED TODAY WAS VERY ACCURATE.

THERE'S, YOU KNOW, THESE ARE VERY COMPLEX PROJECTS, LOTS OF ELEMENTS, LOTS OF THINGS HAVE TO BE CONSIDERED.

I MEAN, UH, THE TEAM HERE IS DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN TO KEEP THIS MOVING.

WE'LL CONTINUE TO DO THAT.

WE'LL BRING MORE RESOURCES IF NEED BE.

UM, BUT REALLY NEED TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THAT ALE TOWER SITE.

IS IT, ARE WE GONNA WORK WITH, YOU KNOW, THE CURRENT SITE OWNER? WE'RE GONNA CURE A NEW SITE.

THAT'S PROBABLY THE BIGGEST THING.

THAT'S THE DELAYED US, BUT, YOU KNOW, NOTHING ELSE TO ADD BEYOND THAT.

IS THAT, AND THIS IS ALL THREE OF YOU AS I UNDERSTAND, MOVING FORWARD WITH THE STUDY.

CAN YOU CLARIFY THAT A LITTLE BIT ON THE ACTION WE NEED TO, 'CAUSE THE, THE GOAL HERE IS TO, TO GIVE SOME DIRECTION HERE TO GET STARTED.

SO I THINK THOUGHT, THE THOUGHT PROCESS IS WE DON'T WANT YOU GUYS TO ACQUIRE SOMETHING THAT MAY NEED A LOT OF WORK.

UM, WE, WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS.

UM, SO WE NEED TO DO THAT STUDY.

UM, IF THE COUNTY GIVES US PERMISSION, WE'LL GO DO THAT TOWER LOADING, WHICH, YOU KNOW, WE MAP ALL THE COMPONENTS LIKE, BUT WE HAVE TO RECREATE THAT ENTIRE MODEL AND SOFTWARE, DO THE LOADING ANALYSIS, DETERMINE IF IT'S, YOU KNOW, WORTHWHILE FROM THERE, WE'D COME BACK WITH THE RESULTS, HEY, IT'S GOOD.

OR THERE'S SOME REMEDIATION.

IT WOULD COST ABOUT X NUMBER OF DOLLARS.

AND THEN THAT WAY YOU GUYS CAN MAKE THE BEST INFORMED DECISION IF THAT'S A GOOD PURCHASE OR NOT, OR ACQUISITION.

UM, I KNOW THE PRICE MAY BE VERY GOOD, BUT YOU DON'T WANT TO GET SOMETHING THAT IS NOT USABLE.

IT TAKE A LOT OF WORK TO MAKE IT, YOU

[00:25:01]

KNOW, VIABLE.

UM, SO THAT'S, I THINK THE NEXT STEP FOR US IS TO GET, UM, YOU KNOW, THE DECISION ON THAT, THAT TOWER.

WHO IS WE WHEN YOU SAY WE'LL DO THE STUDY? WHO, WHO DOES THE STUDY? WE'LL, MOTOROLA DO THE STUDY.

WE HAVE, WE HAVE, UM, YOU KNOW, THE, I GUESS I, BOB, I'M NOT SURE WE HAVE THE COST IN THERE.

IS THAT OUT IN WELL, YEAH, I WAS GONNA JUMP IN.

SO YEAH, MOTOROLA, IF YOU WOULD COME UP TO THE MIC A LITTLE BIT.

I'M SORRY.

UM, MOTOROLA, AS SUBCONTRACTORS WOULD DO THE STUDIES, THERE ARE DOLLARS AS, UM, WAS MENTIONED BEFORE THAT HAVE BEEN SET ASIDE FOR REMEDIATION THAT WOULD COVER SOME OF THAT COST.

BUT THOSE COSTS HAVE NOT BEEN SUBMITTED OR APPROVED YET.

UM, YOU KNOW, WAITING DIRECTION ON THAT.

BUT WE, YEAH, THERE ARE, UM, ALL, ALL THE ANALYSIS CAN BE DONE BY MOTOROLA.

WE JUST NEED TO GET, UM, THE, OKAY, SO NOTHING'S BEEN DONE YET.

NOTHING'S BEEN DONE YET.

UM, WELL, STRUCTURAL PART PRELIMINARY, WE'VE, WE'VE GONE OUT, WE'VE LOOKED AT IT, WE'VE HAD SOME JUST BASIC, YOU KNOW, WHAT CAN WE DETERMINE FROM THE GROUND TYPE OF, UM, ANALYSIS, SO TO SPEAK, UM, TO, TO ANALYZE THE, THE GUY WIRES THAT HOLD THE TIRE TOWER UP, UM, REQUIRED CLEARING OVERGROWTH AND STEEL AND THINGS THAT WERE ON THE GROUND.

SO, UM, THE COUNTY ACTUALLY HAD, HAD DONE THAT WITHIN THE PAST FEW WEEKS.

SO OUR NEXT STEP WAS, IS TO GO OUT AND, AND START DOING, YOU GOTTA DRILL TO DO THE FOUNDATION ANALYSIS, DO A GEOTECH STUDY, YOU GOT A, UM, TOWER, MAP, WHAT'S ON THE TOWER, UM, TO, TO KNOW HOW MUCH LOADING IS CURRENTLY ON IT.

AND WE, WE HAVE OUR ANTENNAS.

UM, SO YOU HAVE TO DO THE TOWER ANALYSIS.

YOU GOTTA GO THROUGH EVERY NUT AND BOLT AND EVERYTHING ON THE TOWER, HOW IT'S CONSTRUCTED.

YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES IDEALLY YOU GET THE, THE, UM, STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS THAT WAS DONE BY THE OWNER.

YOU GET, YOU KNOW, YOU GET ALL THE DETAILS OF THAT IDEALLY, BUT THIS PARTICULAR TOWER DIDN'T HAVE ANY INFORMATION.

SO IT HAS TO BE RECREATED.

IT HAS TO BE, YOU KNOW, TO, TO ENSURE THAT IT'S ADEQUATE, UH, STRUCTURE.

CAN YOU SPEAK ALSO THEN, YOU TALKED ABOUT AFTER THE STUDY THERE'S A MICROWAVE DESIGN.

WHAT DO YOU CAN, AGAIN, I'M, I'M NEW TO THIS AND TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THE COMPONENTS OF THIS AND, UH, BUT CAN YOU, UH, HELP UNDERSTAND THAT? WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT? MICRO, WHEN YOU REFERENCE THE MICROWAVE DESIGN, WHAT, WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT? SURE.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT YOU TAKE A STAB AT SURE.

SO THE, THE TOWER SITES ARE CONNECTED BY WHAT WE CALL MICROWAVE, IT JUST POINT TO POINT WIRELESS TRANSMISSION FOR THE, THE DIGITAL VOICE AND DATA.

UM, THEY'RE COMPONENTS TO RADIOS.

THEY'RE DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR FREQUENCIES AND DISH SIZE.

THOSE ARE FUNCTIONS OF THE TOWER SITE LOCATIONS AND THE DISTANCES.

SO IF WE'RE AT ONE POINT THAT'S MAYBE ONE DESIGN DISH SIZE AND, AND RADIO EQUIPMENT, IF WE MOVE THAT, IT COULD EFFECTIVELY CHANGE THAT.

SO WE NEED TO KNOW THAT.

UH, THE OTHER PIECE IS WHAT SEAN REFERRED TO AS IF WE'RE LEAVING EXISTING EQUIPMENT AT THE CURRENT, UM, AAL SITE THAT WOULD, OR THE ORIGINAL DESIGN WENT THROUGH THAT SITE.

IF WE MOVE THAT AND WE SPLIT THE EQUIPMENT, NOW WE HAVE TO SAY, OKAY, HOW DO WE COMMUNICATE TO THAT SITE? IS THERE AN ADDITIONAL LINK REQUIRED OR WE MOVING EVERYTHING OVER? UM, THERE'S LONG LEAD TIMES ON THE MICROWAVE RADIOS TO ORDER 'EM.

WE DON'T WANNA ORDER THE WRONG ONE AND THEN COME TO FIND OUT WE NEEDED A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT BAND OR THINGS LIKE THAT.

OR WE ORDER SIX FOOT ANTENNAS AND WE NEEDED SOMETHING DIFFERENT, YOU KNOW, FOUR FOOT OR VICE VERSA.

SO THAT, THAT'S THE IMPACT TO THE MICROWAVE SYSTEM.

WE DON'T LIKE TO ORDER ANY OF THAT UNTIL ALL THE SITES ARE A HUNDRED PERCENT, THEN WE PLACE PLACE THE ORDER.

DID THAT HELP CLARIFY? YEAH, IT, IT DOES.

AND, AND AT THIS POINT I WOULD ASK, UH, THEN WHAT WE WOULD NEED BASED ON, UH, FEEDBACK FROM OUR, OUR COUNTY ATTORNEY IS, IS WE NEED A MOTION ON THE APPROVAL ON THE, UH, STUDY FOR THE TOWER.

AND I WOULD A DIFFERENT AGENDA ITEM COUNSELOR, OR CAN WE DO IT HERE OR IS THERE UNDER K IT SAYS DISCUSS TAKE ACTION ON RADIO PROJECT WITH MOTOROLA.

THAT'S PART OF THAT THAT'S BROUGHT UP.

THAT'S BROAD ENOUGH.

I THINK WE CAN DO THAT.

I WANNA MOVE THAT WE MOVE FORWARD ON THE STRUCTURAL TAKE MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER COLLEY OF THAT TOWER WITH THE SECOND BY COMMISSIONER HOLT.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM BEFORE? DO WE HAVE AN IDEA OF THE COST? ALL, ALL THE ANALYSIS AND ALL THE WORK, UM, IS AROUND 80, 85.

WHICH PART OF THE, UH, 25 CONTINGENCY FOR REMEDIATION FOR THAT PARTICULAR SITE DID YOU MEANT FOR THE ALE TOWER, BUT YOU'RE MOVING OFF OF BUREAU, USE THOSE FUNDS.

ANA ALL ANALYSIS AND, UH, WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE AT, AT THE AGNES SITE AS WELL.

MAYBE, MAYBE I MISHEARD.

BUT IT SOUNDED WHEN Y'ALL WERE TALKING ABOUT COSTS ORIGINALLY, LIKE THE REMEDIATION PORTION THAT WAS SET ASIDE, THAT'S NO LONGER TO BE USED WOULD NOT BE ENOUGH FOR THE COST.

DID I MISHEAR THAT ENOUGH FOR THE INITIAL

[00:30:01]

UM, BUT IT'S DEPENDING ON THE DECISION ON THE MICROWAVE, IF WE, YOU KNOW, WE EITHER GOTTA MOVE MICROWAVE FROM THE OLD SITE TO THE NEW SITE, WHICH IS COSTLY, HAVEN'T BEEN VETTED YET OR PRESENTED YET, OR ADDING IN A LINK TO KEEP IT AT THAT SITE AND THOSE COSTS HAVEN'T BEEN ADDED.

COUNSELOR, CAN WE TALK ABOUT THAT NOW? OR WE CAN SEPARATE, SEPARATE ON THIS REAL QUICK THOUGH.

SO THE STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS PIECE IS THE 80 TO 85.

SO THE MICROWAVE STUDY IS NOT A PART OF THAT.

FROM MOVING ALL THAT STUFF, DO Y'ALL RECOMMEND THAT WE MOVE ALL OF IT, OR, UM, THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION, COMMISSIONER.

THERE'S, THERE'S PROS AND CONS BOTH WAYS.

UM, PROS THAT WE CAN ABSOLUTELY LEAVE THE VHF SYSTEM IN PLACE IN OPERATIONAL WHERE IT'S AT RIGHT NOW.

UM, YOU KNOW, WE WERE ABOUT, THE COUNTY HAD PLANS KEEPING THE VHF SYSTEM UP FOR A FEW MORE YEARS SO WE COULD LEAVE IT THERE UNTIL THE END OF LIFE, UH, UNTIL THE COUNTY OFFICER PULL THAT SYSTEM DOWN AND THEN JUST TAKE IT OFF THE TOWER THERE.

AND THAT ENSURES THAT THERE'S NO INTERRUPTION IN SERVICE.

WE'RE SURE.

UH, BUT THAT WOULD COST AN ADDITIONAL LINK IN MAKING SURE THAT THAT STAY CONNECT TO THE SYSTEM.

UM, WHEREAS, UH, BY MOVING IT ALL, UM, YOU KNOW, WE CAN GET THE 700 PIECE OF IT UP AND OPERATIONAL, BUT THERE WILL BE DOWNTIME.

THEN WE PULL OFF OF THE EXISTING ASAL SITE AND MOVE OVER TO THE SMITH SITE.

WE PULL ALL THAT EQUIPMENT DOWN AND REUSE PIECES OF IT.

UM, BUT , WELL, I'M, I'M FOR MOVING ALL OF IT IF THAT'S WHAT WE NEED TO DO, WHAT TYPE OF DOWN THE LANDOWNER OF THAT SITE ONCE WE MOVE PART OF IT, HE'S PROBABLY ONE OF ALL MOVED, DON'T YOU THINK? OR HAVE YOU TALKED TO HIM ABOUT THAT? WE HAVE NOT TALKED TO HIM.

THAT'S, BUT WE HAVE THAT'S, UM, YOU KNOW, WELL WE'RE BETWEEN THE COUNTY AND, AND, AND HIM.

SO WE WERE HAVING TROUBLE WITH HIM.

I, THAT'S WHY I THINK WE NEED TO GET AWAY FROM THAT SIDE.

GEORGE, WE, WE HAVE FIVE YEARS LEFT ON THAT CONTRACT, SO IT MIGHT BE BEST TO LEAVE WHAT'S THERE AND JUST GO AHEAD AND GET ALL THE NEW EQUIPMENT PUT ON THE NEW TOWER IF IT'S ABLE TO HOLD THAT STRUCTURALLY AND THEN FIVE YEARS GET THAT MOVED OFF.

THAT SOUNDS GOOD.

THE LANDOWNER AND THAT WAY THERE'S NO LAPSE.

HE CAN'T MAKE US MOVE THE STUFF.

MAKE SURE WHAT TYPE OF DOWNTIME YOU EXPECT IF WE DO MOVE, YOU'RE LOOKING AT AT LEAST A WEEK'S WORTH OF DOWNTIME, UH, SAFELY.

I THINK WE COULD DO IT IN LESS BUT SAFELY WE WEEK.

HOW DOES THAT AFFECT FOLKS LIKE OUR SHERIFF, SHERIFF'S OFFICE, ET CETERA, SHERIFF? SO THE AGNES SITE WOULD HAVE BILLING COVERAGE, UM, FOR, CERTAINLY FOR MOBILE VEHICLE RADIOS WILL BE STILL SUFFICIENT.

UH, BUT YOU WILL SEE IRRIGATION IN PORTABLE COVERAGE IN THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF THE COUNTY.

IS THERE ANY EQUIPMENT THAT COULD BE RENTED FOR A SHORT TIME, LIKE A SHORT TERM BOOSTER OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT? SORRY IF THAT'S A DUMB QUESTION.

NO, NOT A DUMB QUESTION.

THAT'S ACTUALLY, COULD WE, UM, WELL, YEAH.

WHAT WE, THERE'S POSSIBLE SOMETHING, THERE'S ALWAYS POSSIBLE WE NEED TO INTO THAT ESTABLISHMENT.

LIKE I'D APPRECIATE IT.

I MEAN I, I'D FEEL REMISS IN NOT ASKING ABOUT THAT GIVEN WHAT WE JUST DID AS FAR AS A RECOGNI OR A RECOGNITION OF OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT.

I'D APPRECIATE IF Y'ALL WOULD KIND OF LOOK INTO SOME VIABLE SOLUTIONS TO COVER THAT TIME PERIOD.

THOSE ARE THE DISCUSSIONS.

WE NEED TO HAVE A WHITEBOARD SIT DOWN AND ACTUALLY GO THROUGH ONE OF THESE OPTIONS AND ALTERNATIVES AS WELL SO THAT WE HAVE A GOOD DIRECTION.

HOW MANY WHILE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THAT ONE, ONE OTHER THING TO CHIME IN ON THAT, THAT WE CAN'T DO IT SYSTEM AND DOES CHANGE COVERAGE MISSION CRITICAL PARTNERS.

THIS COVERAGE HAS BEEN OUR SITE FOR NUMBER YEARS, PROVIDE X AMOUNT OF COVERAGE.

DOWN A COUPLE MILES.

IT'S, YOU KNOW, COULD, THERE MAY NOT, THERE MAY BE COWS, IT MAY BE NOT A WHOLE LOT THAT IT MIGHT AFFECT, BUT, OR COULD THERE'S SOME VALUABLE COWS IN PARK HERE, ? YES, THERE ARE.

I'VE GOT A QUESTION ACTUALLY FOR MR. BALDWIN.

MR. BALDWIN, DO YOU MIND, I KNOW THE CITY HAS SOME REDUNDANCY TO WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE.

IS THIS POTENTIAL DOWNTIME, ANYTHING THAT THE CITY COULD HELP COVER US SOME SHORT TERM WITH? SORRY, THAT'S AGAIN A REALLY STUPID QUESTION.

UH, JUDGE COMMISSIONERS MICHAEL BALDWIN, UH, EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT COORDINATOR AND RADIO MANAGER FOR THE CITY OF WEATHERFORD AND DIVISION CHIEF OF WEATHERFORD FIRE RESCUE.

UM, I DON'T KNOW THAT OUR INFRASTRUCTURE WILL COVER THAT.

UH, YOU HAVE THE MAIN TOWER SITE ON UPPER TON ROAD, WHICH IS 600 FEET AND PROVIDES QUITE A BIT OF COVERAGE FOR A LOT OF PARKER COUNTY.

THAT WOULD, THAT MAY BE MORE HELPFUL IN THAT SITUATION.

FROM, THERE ARE OPTIONS TO COVERAGE.

COMMISSIONER, JUST ADD TO THAT, YOU KNOW, WHEN, WHEN WE, THE SIGN WE DID PUT UP A TEMPORARY SITE USING THE TOWER FROM, UH,

[00:35:01]

IT BE, IT WON'T BE EXACTLY WHAT'S THERE, BUT IT COULD HELP BUILD THANK YOU.

AND THAT THERE IS A GEOGRAPHICAL BARRIER, UH, BETWEEN, UH, THE CENTER OF THE COUNTY AND THAT AREA UP THERE THAT CAUSES A LOT OF DEAD SPACE, UH, THAT, THAT THE ALE TOWER IS COVERING RIGHT NOW.

AND IF YOU WOULD, UH, MICHAEL, DON'T SIT DOWN QUITE YET.

UM, THERE'S OBVIOUSLY A, A LOT OF FEEDBACK FROM THE COUNTY THAT NEEDS TO BE INVOLVED IN THIS AS YOU MOVE FORWARD WITH THE STUDY, AS WE'RE CURRENTLY IN THE DISCUSSION PHASE.

UM, WE OBVIOUSLY, AS YOU KNOW, THAT OUR, UH, OUR EMC HAS RETIRED A FIRE MARSHAL.

AND, UH, SO THAT PUTS IN US, PUTS US IN A SITUATION TO WHERE WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO LOOK AT A CONSULTANT TO DO THIS.

MICHAEL, I KNOW THAT YOU AND AND I COMMEND THE CITY OF WEATHERFORD AND YOURSELF FOR WANTING TO DO THIS, UH, IN IN COORDINATION IN COLLABORATION WITH THE COUNTY ATTORNEY ON THIS.

UM, ARE YOU AWARE OF WHO MISSION CRITICAL PARTNERS IS? UH, YES SIR.

I'M FAMILIAR.

UM, AND YOU'VE GOT TIM, TIM DRISCOLL HERE.

I'M NOT SURE THAT'S THE NAME, BUT, UH, THEY ARE, UH, PREPARED TO MOVE ON FORWARD WITH THIS.

AND I, I THINK JUST FROM A STANDPOINT OF WHAT WE'RE ABOUT TO IS ON AGENDA AT ONE O'CLOCK, UH, THAT COULD BE YOUR INVOLVEMENT WITH YOU.

UM, WHAT WE'D LIKE TO DO IS LOOK AT, WE OBVIOUSLY NEED, UH, SUPPORT THERE BECAUSE OF THAT VACANCY THAT'S BEEN NOW, UH, HIT US AND LOOKING AT A, I UNDERSTAND THEY'RE ON THE BY BOARD IS TO DO THIS, BUT IN COLLABORATION WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT ON THIS IF YOU CAN WORK TOGETHER.

UH, YOU'RE OBVIOUSLY A STAKEHOLDER IN THIS AND, UH, A VERY IMPORTANT ONE AT THAT.

BUT IN LOOKING AT MISSION CRITICAL PARTNERS, IS THAT SOMETHING THAT, UM, THIS COURT'S GONNA LOOK AT AND BRING ON? BUT WE'D LIKE TO HAVE YOUR COLLABORATION COORDINATION WITH THAT AND WORKING TOGETHER AS YOU'VE OFFERED.

AND WE THANK YOU FOR THAT IN DOING THAT.

UM, AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT, UH, JOHN, I'M GONNA PUSH THAT BACK TO YOU AGAIN.

I'M NOT SURE HOW THAT'S GONNA WORK OR BEING ON THE BUYBOARD OR WE NEED TO RFP OR WHAT IS IT? CAN YOU DISCUSS THAT? NO, THERE, THEY'RE STATE BID ALREADY.

SO IT, IT'S A COMPANY THAT WE COULD HIRE AT AT THIS TIME.

THEY'RE LOOKING AT WORKING UP A COST FOR THAT PRO FOR THAT PROCESS.

SO, UH, WE WERE ABLE TO VISIT WITH THEM LAST WEEK AND THEY'RE MOVING FORWARD WITH THAT.

SO THEY'RE ABOUT TWO WEEKS IN.

THEY SAID IT WOULD BE TWO TO FOUR WEEKS OUT.

SO THAT'D BE EITHER ON THE EIGHTH OR THE 22ND COMMISSIONER'S COURT WHERE THEY WOULD ACTUALLY HAVE OKAY.

THE COST FOR THAT PROCESS.

WOULD IT MAKE SENSE THEN TO, WHILE WE'RE MOVING FORWARD, IS TO, UM, WITH, WITH UM, MICHAEL BALDWIN AND THE CITY OF WEATHERFORD AND I, I BELIEVE, UH, STEVEN WATSON OF ESD IS ALSO OFFERED TO WORK IN A TANDEM AS WE MOVE FORWARD TO THAT DECISION TO MAKE.

'CAUSE WE AS THEY PREPARE WHAT THAT COST IS, BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT GONNA COST US ANYTHING.

THEY'RE NOT GONNA CHART BUT B IN A POSITION TO WHERE THEY CAN WORK TOGETHER.

'CAUSE Y'ALL NEED SOME COLLABORATION FROM US AS WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS STUDY.

IS THAT CORRECT? YES, SIR.

AND SO WOULD THAT BE SOMETHING ADVISE THE COURT AND, AND US.

COUNSELOR, I GUESS WHAT I'M ASKING IS, IS THAT SOMETHING WE CAN DO IN AN INTERIM STAGE IS WE FILL THAT BIGGER, BIGGER ROLE? WE CAN DO THAT.

YOU KNOW, THE ONE THING WE NEED TO KNOW IS WHERE WE ARE IN OUR SCHEDULE.

UH, YOU KNOW, 'CAUSE O OBVIOUSLY THIS IS ARPA MONEY, IT HAS TO BE COMMITTED, I THINK VERONICA AND KIM.

SO, YOU KNOW, WE, WE DO NEED TO MOVE FORWARD IN THE PROCESS AND MAKE SURE WE'RE ON SCHEDULE WITH THIS PROCESS.

AND THAT'S ONE THING WE NEED IS TO HAVE A SCHEDULE AND MAKE SURE THAT IT'S BEING TRACKED BY SOMEONE AND YEAH, BECAUSE THEY'RE A STAKEHOLDER.

I MEAN, THEY'RE OBVIOUSLY GONNA DO WHAT'S IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE PROJECT ITSELF, NOT JUST THE COUNTY, AND WORK TOGETHER WITH THIS TEAM OF TEAM OF MOTOROLA AS WE MOVE FORWARD AND THEN ADDRESS THE LONGER TERM, BIGGER PICTURE ISSUE IN TWO WEEKS.

REPRESENT PARKER COUNTY ON THAT.

AND THAT, THAT'S A DECISION FOR THE COURT.

UH, YOU KNOW, I THINK A CONSULTANT GIVES A OVERALL A HUNDRED PERCENT, UH, VIEW OF THAT AND WHAT THE PROJECT IS AND WHAT THE SCHEDULE IS AND THEY MANAGE IT.

UH, THAT'S A LOT TO THROW ON THE CITY OF WEATHERFORD OR ANYBODY.

I KNOW THAT'S A, A DAUNTING TASK.

IT IS TO MANAGE THAT PROJECT.

SO IT MAY NEED TO BE SOMEONE THAT'S SPECIFICALLY DESIGNATED TO PERFORM THOSE DUTIES.

BUT WHAT WE CAN DO HERE TODAY IS TO, UM, ON AN INTERIM, ON AN INTERIM ROLE AND, UM, CHIEF WATSON HAS NOW COME IN FROM SD ONE, UM, AND THAT THEY HAVE OFFERED TO DO THIS AND, UH, ON A, A BIGGER ROLE, BUT ON AN INTERIM ROLL, WE COULD DO THIS AND HAVE THEM FILL THOSE SHOES UNTIL WE MAKE THAT BIGGER DECISION.

CAN WE DO THAT? YES.

AND SHOULD WE DO THAT BECAUSE OF THE, THE TIMEFRAME THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT AND THE TIME CONSTRAINT THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT AND THE FEEDBACK THAT YOU GUYS ARE GONNA NEED? JUDGE, I'D RECOMMEND THAT I JUST GO AHEAD, IF I MAY.

UM, YOU, WE'D ALSO NEED TO ASSIGN A COUNTY REPRESENTATIVE, UH, TO

[00:40:01]

UH, SO IT'S NOT THE CITY OF WEATHER.

WE'RE MAKING THE SOLE DECISION ON THIS.

UNDERSTOOD.

ARE WE STILL ON, UH, THE MOTION THAT I MADE? DO WE NEED TO GO ON? YES, YES, WE ARE.

WE'RE IN THE DISCUSSION PHASE WITH THAT, RIGHT? HEARD NOW STILL DISCUSSION PHASE.

YEP.

I DIDN'T KNOW IF WE GOT OFF.

NO, NO, WE HAVEN'T, BUT WE HAVEN'T VOTED YET ON THIS.

WELL, A SECOND AGO YOU'RE DISCUSSING THE TIMELINE WITH ARPA FUNDS.

AND BRIANNA, I'M JUST GLAD TO SEE YOU COME BACK IN.

I WAS LOOKING FOR YOU.

SO ARE WE IN COMPLIANCE, AS FAR AS I KNOW, BY 1231 OF THIS YEAR, WE HAVE TO HAVE AT LEAST THE FUNDS DESIGNATED.

AND ARE WE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THAT, THAT COMPONENT? LET ME MAKE THE DISTINCTION NOT JUST DESIGNATED.

'CAUSE THAT CAN MEAN JUST APPROPRIATED, IT ACTUALLY HAS TO BE OBLIGATED.

SO, UM, THERE HAS TO BE AN UNDERLYING CONTRACT IN PLACE.

UM, ANY SORT OF, IF THERE'S, YOU KNOW, AN RFP, ANY OF THOSE TYPE OF THINGS, ALL THAT HAS TO BE DONE.

AND THEN YOU HAVE A CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATION.

AND SO AT THAT POINT, EVEN IF YOU HAVE A CONTRACT, THERE CANNOT BE ANY CHANGE ORDERS TO EXCEED WHAT YOU ORIGINALLY APPROVED.

SO EVEN IF THERE WAS FUNDING, IT HAS TO BE BUILT INTO THERE.

UM, IT IS CLEAR THAT SAY YOU HAVE A CONTRACT AND SOMEONE IS NOT PERFORMING UNDER THAT CONTRACT, YOU CAN GET SOMEONE ELSE TO FULFILL THOSE OBLIGATIONS, BUT YOU CANNOT CHANGE THE SCOPE OF THE WORK NOR THE BUDGET OF THE WORK.

SO AS LONG AS THE CONTRACT IS IN PLACE, UM, THERE'S STILL TIME TO EITHER RECEIVE GOODS AND, UM, SERVICES BE COMPLETED.

SO IT'S REALLY, AGAIN, YOU HAVE A LEGAL OBLIGATION, UM, UNDER THE LAW TO, YOU KNOW, PAY THEM FOR WHATEVER SERVICES.

AND THEN THAT WORK HAS TO BE COMPLETED BY DECEMBER OF 2026.

AND THE WAY I UNDERSTAND THAT, THE CHECKS HAVE TO BE CLEARED AND BACK IN OUR POSSESSION BY 1239.

AND ANY FUNDS THAT ARE NOT OBLIGATED BY THAT TIME, UM, HAS TO GO BACK TO THE TREASURY.

SO THIS IS AT THE END OF THIS YEAR.

SO THAT'S OUR BIGGEST, THE BIGGEST CONCERN IS THAT, AND TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE IN COMPLIANCE SINCE THAT'S WHAT'S FUNDING ALL OF THIS.

SO I WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE ON TRACK AND IF WE NEED TO MAKE CHANGES, WE GET THOSE DONE TO, TO MEET THIS YEAR'S 12 31 24 AND THEN MAKING SURE THAT ALL THE CONSTRUCTION IS DONE AND AND PAID AND CLEARED BY THAT 12 31 26.

THAT'S CORRECT.

UM, AND I DID LOOK, SO IN THE ACTUAL RADIO PROJECT THAT HASN'T BEEN OBLIGATED IS 17,603.

SO THERE'S THAT PIECE.

AND THEN THE ONLY OTHER, I MEAN EVERYTHING AT THIS POINT HAS BEEN APPROPRIATED EITHER TO, UM, THIRD PARTIES OR, YOU KNOW, THE LOST REVENUE THAT WAS ALLOCATED BETWEEN THE PRECINCTS.

AND THEN THE ONLY OTHER PIECE, UM, IS THE PARKER COUNTY WATER PIECE.

AND SO DEPENDING ON IF THERE'S ANY, UM, AVAILABILITY THERE, THAT'S COULD BE FUNDS THAT COULD BE, UM, OBLIGATED.

TO STAY ON POINT WITH THIS, WE WE'RE IN THE DISCUSSION PHASE OF THE MOTION, UH, TO APPROVE THE STUDY.

AND, UM, AND SO WE NEED TO DO THAT AND LET'S DO THAT BECAUSE THIS IS A BROAD TOPIC.

WE CAN COME BACK, UH, WITH WHAT THE DISCUSSIONS ARE ON, UH, FILLING THE ROLE RIGHT NOW.

OBVIOUSLY AS, AS, AS COMMISSIONER HELL HAS NOTED, I MEAN, CLEARLY THERE'S A TIME CONSTRAINT HERE.

UM, AND WE NEED TO GET THIS THING BACK ON TRACK BEING THREE MONTHS LATE OR, OR DELAYED.

UH, WITH THIS IS THAT WE'RE IN THE DISCUSSION PHASE WITH THIS.

IF THERE'S ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THE, THE MOTION ITSELF, UH, TO APPROVE THIS STUDY, UM, IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THAT? IF NOT, I'M GONNA ASK FOR A MOTION.

I MEAN, I'M GONNA ASK FOR A VOTE HERE.

THEN ALL IN FAVOR, MOTION PASSES.

IF YOU WOULD JUST KIND OF ADDRESS WHAT YOU'RE, YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT DOING, JUST FROM OUR STANDPOINT WITH ESD ONE, WE NEED TO APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR INPUT AND, UM, MYSELF OR ANY RESOURCES THAT WE HAVE, WE STAND READY TO HELP FROM AN ADVISORY CAPACITY OR A BOOTS ON THE GROUND PROJECT MANAGEMENT, UH, CAPACITY, UH, ANY WAY THAT WE CAN HELP, WE'RE HAPPY TO, IT'S A CRITICAL PROJECT FOR, FOR ALL DISCIPLINES PUBLIC SAFETY IN THE COUNTY.

OH, OKAY.

THEN I'M COME BACK THEN TO THE DISCUSSION OF, UH, WE DO HAVE, RIGHT NOW WE HAVE A NEED, UH, IS NOTED HERE, UH, IS TO ESTABLISH A REPRESENTATIVE OF THIS COURT, UH, TO WORK WITH, UM, MICHAEL BALDWIN OF THE CITY OF WEATHERFORD, WHO'S A STAKEHOLDER, A BIG ONE.

UH, UH, STEVE WATSON, IF YOU WOULD, UH, CHIEF WATSON, I'M SORRY IF YOU WOULD COME ON UP.

UM, YOU'VE EXPRESSED ALSO IN COORDINATION WITH, UH, WITH MICHAEL.

UM, COME ON UP TO THE MIC IF YOU WOULD, UM, THAT JUST EXPRESS WHAT YOU'RE, THANK YOU EXPRESS WHAT YOUR Y'ALL'S, UM, OFFER IS IN TERMS OF MANAGING THIS.

'CAUSE WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS BRINGING ON A CONSULTANT, BUT THAT'S GONNA TAKE TWO WEEKS.

WE NEED IMMEDIATE HELP ON REPRESENTATION HERE TO GET THINGS GOING.

UH, AND WE WILL ESTABLISH THAT WHOEVER THAT REPRESENTATIVE OF THE COUNTY IS GONNA BE, UM, HERE, UH, WHETHER IT'S GONNA BE A, A COMMISSIONER OR, OR, OR WHATEVER, OR WE ALSO HAVE SOMEBODY THAT IN OUR IT THAT CAN ALSO FILL THAT ROLE.

AND WE CAN DISCUSS THAT IN A SECOND.

BUT

[00:45:01]

AND OF COURSE WE HAVE A LARGE FOOTPRINT AROUND THE COUNTY, SO WE'RE, WE'RE HAPPY TO HELP ANY WAY THAT WE CAN.

SO THE, WHAT WHAT HAS BEEN DISCUSSED IS THAT, UM, IN COORDINATION WITH MICHAEL AND YOURSELF, UM, I BELIEVE IT WAS SOMEBODY ELSE, IAN, OR, UM, CAN YOU ADDRESS THAT, MICHAEL? WHO ELSE? THAT THE THIRD PERSON WAS, UH, CHRISTENSEN.

DID I GET THERE? SO THERE WAS, THERE WAS ALSO THE DISCUSSION OF CREATING A, A RAD, AN EXECUTIVE STEERING COMMITTEE FOR RADIO PROJECTS AND IMPLEMENT FUTURE IMPLEMENTATIONS.

UM, THAT WOULD INVOLVE SOME OTHER STAKEHOLDERS AS WELL FROM THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT AND SOME OTHER FOLKS.

UM, SO YOU DO CURRENTLY HAVE A PART-TIME EMPLOYEE IN CHRISTENSEN, WHO IS A RADIO MANAGER? MM-HMM.

UM, THAT IS, THAT IS HANDS ON IN THE RADIO SYSTEM, UH, ON A WEEKLY BASIS.

WELL YOU'RE, YOU'RE RECOMMENDING THAT OUR IT DEPARTMENT HIRE A RADIO MANAGER.

SO IT JURISDICTIONS DO, UH, RADIO MANAGEMENT IN DIFFERENT WAYS.

UH, SOME OF 'EM, UH, IT'S THROUGH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT OR SHERIFF'S OFFICE, OR TYPICALLY EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT.

UM, A LOT OF LARGE ORGANIZATIONS, UM, HAVE THEIR, UH, RADIO MANAGEMENT UNDER I UNDERNEATH INTER INTER, YEAH.

UNDERNEATH IN IT.

UM, AND THEN THEY HIRE THOSE FOLKS, UH, THAT ARE RADIO MANAGEMENT SPECIFIC, UH, THAT HAS THOSE, UH, SKILLS AND DETAILS TO WORK ON THOSE PROJECTS.

ESSENTIALLY, WE HAVE THE COMPETENCY RIGHT HERE IN THE, AND THE CAPABILITY WITH YOUR TEAM TO DO THIS AS WE FILL A LONGER TERM ROLE, WHETHER WE DO BRING ON A CONSULTANT IN COORDINATION WORKING TOGETHER, UH, AS STAKEHOLDERS.

UH, BUT YOU WOULD FILL A DEED THAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW IN IMMEDIATE DEED.

JUDGE, IF I MAY, I THINK THE COMMENT ON THE STEERING COMMITTEE IS APPROPRIATE BECAUSE IT SOUNDS LIKE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT TOUCHES THE ENTIRE COUNTY.

, IT TOUCHES THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE, IT TOUCHES THE ESDS, IT TOUCHES THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT.

IT'S, IT'S CRITICAL TO OUR INFRASTRUCTURE.

SO WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO IS, GIVEN THAT WE CLOSED THE OTHER MOTION, I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE CREATE A STEERING COMMITTEE THAT HAS REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE COUNTY, REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE CITY, THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT, AND THE ESD TO FILL OUT A FIVE TO SEVEN PERSON COMMITTEE.

UM, THAT IS THE RECOMMENDATION THAT I'M MAKING FROM, UH, THE CITY'S PERSPECTIVE.

I'D LIKE IT TO BE MR. BALDWIN, A RECOMMENDATION OR A MOTION.

UM, THIS IS ALL PART OF MY MOTION.

UH, I UNDERSTAND.

SO WE NEED CREATE THE STEERING COMMITTEE FIRST.

WELL UNDERSTAND THIS IS SEPARATE FROM THE ONE O'CLOCK.

THIS IS CORRECT.

I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT THE ONE O'CLOCK STUFF.

I'M TALKING ABOUT KIND OF MANAGING THE RADIO PROJECT GOING FORWARD.

GOTCHA, GOTCHA.

UM, TO HAVE A STEERING COMMITTEE.

SO MY QUESTION, I GUESS FOR, FOR JOHN IS THIS, DO WE NEED TO CREATE THE COMMITTEE FIRST AND THEN FILL THE MEMBERS? OR HOW DO WE NEED TO DO THAT? AND THE, THE ONE QUESTION, MAYBE THE CONSULTANT COULD KIND OF ADVISE US AS WELL.

'CAUSE YOU KNOW, IF WE DO HIRE A CONSULTANT, WE MAY NOT, BUT IF WE DON'T, THEN THE STEERING COMMITTEE'S CRITICAL, OF COURSE.

BUT YES, YOU WOULD, UH, CREATE THE COMMITTEE AND THEN MAKE APPOINTMENTS.

YEAH, I, I WOULD THINK THAT, THAT THAT CONSULTANT WOULD NEED TO BE INTERACTING WITH SOMEBODY GIVEN THE RESIGNATION FROM THE, UH, FIRE MARSHAL.

THERE'S NOT A NECESSARILY, UNLESS WE WANT TO DUMP EVERYTHING IN JAMES KAY WOOD'S LAP, WHICH I'M TOTALLY FINE WITH.

UH, THERE, THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME TYPE OF BODY THAT REPRESENTS THE RELATIVE, THE RELEVANT STAKEHOLDERS.

AND SO I THINK THAT'S WHAT THE STEERING COMMITTEE WOULD DO WITH AND WITHOUT A CONSULTANT.

SO THAT'S MY MOTION IS THAT WE, WHAT I WAS TRYING TO GO AHEAD, SIR.

WELL, I HAD A QUESTION.

UH, JUST, JUST COMMENT, UH, WOULD WE NOT WANNA APPOINT, UM, ONE OF THE COMMISSIONERS TO THE STEERING COMMITTEE AND LET HIM YES, ABSOLUTELY.

LET HIM BRING IN ABSOLUTELY.

WHOEVER ELSE MIGHT BE APPROPRIATE.

UM, MOTOROLA PROJECT, UH, GOING WITH FEEDBACK ALONG WITH AN APPOINTEE WITH NOW, UH, COMMISSIONER CONLEY WITH THE RECOMMENDATION THAT YOU'RE ACCEPTING THIS, UH, TO WORK TOGETHER HERE AS WE FILL THE BIGGER PICTURE, UH, AND GO FORWARD.

AND I WAS GONNA ASK, UH, COMMISSIONER CONLEY IF HE WOULD BE WILLING TO DO THAT, BECAUSE IT'S THE, THIS, THIS TOWER THAT'S, UH, WE'RE SPEAKING OF HERE IS IN YOUR AREA.

AND I KNOW YOU'RE KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT IT, I'M JUST ASKING YEAH, THAT'S, THAT'S FINE WITH ME.

BUT YEAH, BECAUSE I, I WOULD THINK IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE, WE WOULD APPOINT A MEMBER OF COMMISSIONER'S COURT TO KIND OF OVERSEE THE COMMITTEE AND, AND BRING BACK TO US HIS RECOMMENDATIONS ON WHO, WHO WOULD BE A PART OF IT, KNOWING ALL THE PIECES AS WELL AS YOU DO.

COMMISSIONER, I, I GUESS WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY HERE, MAYBE POORLY DONE, UM, IS WE HAVE REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE CITY OF WEATHERFORD WHO'S A, A HUGE STAKEHOLDER IN ESD ONE, WHICH REPRESENTS OVER 60% OR MORE OF, OF FIRE PROTECTION IN THE COUNTY, IS, UH, TWO VERY COMPETENT PEOPLE HERE THAT WE COULD BRING ON AND KEEP THE INTERACTION WITH THE,

[00:50:01]

BUT RIGHT NOW, WE, WE, WE DON'T HAVE ANY TIME TO WASTE.

WE NEED TO GET THIS THING BACK ON TRACK AND GET, GET IT GOING.

AND THAT'S, I GUESS THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY, IS THAT WITH THE OFFER FROM MICHAEL AND, UH, ALSO FROM STEPHEN WATSON, UH, TO WORK WITH COMMISSIONER CONNELLEY AND LET ON AN INTERIM BASIS RIGHT NOW TO FILL THOSE SHOES UNTIL WE CAN GET A BIGGER PICTURE SOLUTION.

SO IF, IF, I MAY MEAN TO STEP ON YOUR MOTION THERE, BUT MY MOTION WOULD BE TO APPOINT COMMISSIONER CONNELLEY AND HAVE HIM SELECT THE MEMBERS THAT ARE MOST APPROPRIATE.

AND IT MAY BE A CONSULTANT AND OR THE OTHER FOLKS THAT ARE NECESSARY.

HE KNOWS WHO THE PIECES ARE, YOU KNOW WHO THE PIECES ARE.

YEAH, THAT'LL WORK.

AND THE, THE DEPARTMENTS THAT HAVE A VESTED INTEREST.

NOW I THINK THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT, I HAVEN'T HEARD THEM MENTION, BUT YEAH.

IS THAT FAIR OR IS THAT FIT IN WITH WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT? I, YEAH, I ASSUME COMMISSIONER CONLEY YOU WOULD ADD IN THE, YOU KNOW, CITY ESD, THOSE FOLKS.

PEOPLE THAT HAVE A VESTED INTEREST NEED TO BE INVOLVED, I BELIEVE.

OH, YEAH.

SO I'M, I'M GOING TO MAKE THE MOTION THAT WE APPOINT COMMISSIONER CONLEY AND GIVE HIM THE ABILITY TO BRING TOGETHER THE COMMITTEE AS HE SEES FIT FOR THE, UH, PROJECT.

I'LL SECOND, I'M NOT SURE WE NEED A CONSULTANT.

I'LL SECOND THAT.

YOUR DECISION.

YEAH, YOU CAN BRING IT BACK TO COURT.

VERY GOOD.

WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ANY FEEDBACK? ALL IN FAVOR.

SO THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH.

I'LL MAKE A COMMENT WHILE THERE'S LU IT'S NOT ONLY BECAUSE IT'S IN YOUR AREA, BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERTISE AND, AND YOU BROUGHT THIS, THIS TO US TODAY, SO THANK YOU FOR ACCEPTING THAT.

ANNUAL INVENTORY REPORT, KIM? SO, UM, THE PURCHASING DEPARTMENT IN OUR, MY FIXED ASSETS MANAGER HAS BEEN WORKING WITH ALL THE DEPARTMENTS SINCE MARCH FOR THIS YEAR'S ANNUAL INVENTORY.

AND I AM THRILLED TO REPORT THAT THIS YEAR THERE ARE ONLY 21 ITEMS THAT HAVE BEEN ADDED TO THE MISSING AND AUDIT LIST, UM, WHICH IS A, A HUGE IMPROVEMENT FROM PAST YEARS.

WE STILL HAVE, UM, SEVERAL PAGES AND I'VE PROVIDED THE DOCUMENTATION FOR YOU OF ITEMS THAT HAVE BEEN MISSING FOR THE, IN THE PAST THREE YEARS.

AND AFTER THEY'VE BEEN ON THAT MISSING AND AUDIT LIST FOR THREE YEARS, THEN THEY FALL OFF JUST IN, WE'VE HAD NUMEROUS TIMES IN THE PAST WHERE THINGS HAVE BEEN LOCATED IN THE NEXT SEVERAL YEARS AND, AND WE'VE HAD TO ADD BACK ON.

SO IN ORDER TO PREVENT FROM ADDING BACK ON, WE JUST KIND OF KEEP 'EM ON THERE FOR THREE FULL YEARS AND THEN TAKE 'EM OFF AT THAT POINT.

SO I'M VERY PROUD OF ALL THE DEPARTMENT HEADS AND, AND THEIR STAFF ARE ASSISTING US AND, UM, WE'RE MAKING PROGRESS ON, UM, ACTUALLY, UM, KEEPING UP WITH ALL OF THE COUNTY'S INVENTORY AND WHAT'S BEEN BEEN GRACIOUSLY ALLOCATED BY THE TAXPAYERS FOR OUR USAGE.

WE ARE A STATE AGENCY AND WE INVESTIGATE ABUSE, NEGLECT, FINANCIAL EXPLOITATION OF THE ELDERLY, OR SUBSTANTIALLY IMPAIRED.

I WANT TO THANK JUDGE DEAN AS WELL AS THE COMMISSIONERS FOR, FOR CLAIMING JUNE AS ELDER ABUSE AWARENESS MONTH, UM, IN 2034.

UM, THE US CENSUS HAS DECLARED THAT THAT WILL BE THE YEAR THAT, UM, INDIVIDUALS 65 YEARS OR OLDER WILL BE THE LARGEST DEMOGRAPHIC IN OUR POPULATION.

UM, THAT BEING SAID, THIS SHIFT IN, IN THE DEMOGRAPHIC IS EXPECTED TO STRONGLY IMPACT OUR COMMUNITIES.

NATIONAL RESEARCH SHOWS THAT AS MANY AS ONE IN 10 ADULTS, 65 YEARS OR OLDER ARE ABUSED, BUT ONLY, BUT LESS THAN 24 OF THOSE REPORTS ARE MADE.

SO OF ALL ONE IN 10 ARE ABUSED, BUT 24 OF THOSE CASES GO UNKNOWN OR UNREPORTED IN A SOCIETY THAT VALUES SUGGEST TREATMENT OF ALL PEOPLE.

ELDER ABUSE AWARENESS, UM, HAS IMPLICATIONS FOR ALL OF US.

AND SO IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE FIND SOME SOLUTIONS FOR IT.

ON BEHALF OF OUR PROGRAM, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL OF OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS.

THAT INCLUDES OUR FIRST RESPONDERS, OUR INTERNAL EXTERNAL STAKEHOLDERS, LOCAL GOVERNMENT, JUDICIAL PARTNERS, AS WELL AS, UM, OUR COMMISSIONER'S COURT FOR BRINGING AWARENESS TO ELDER ABUSE.

BECAUSE IF YOU'RE NOT AWARE OF IT, WE CAN'T PREVENT IT.

WE HAVE, UM, IN THIS AREA, IN PARKER COUNTY ALONE, WE HAVE ONE UNIT SEVEN WORKERS, AND THEY WORK THE ENTIRE PARKER COUNTY.

THEY RECEIVE INTAKES AND THEY GO OUT AND PROVIDE COMMUNITY RESOURCES AND INTERVENTION TO PREVENT ELDER ABUSE AND THE ABUSE OF THOSE WHO ARE 18 TO 64 WHO HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL IMPAIRMENT.

SO I THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BRINGING AWARENESS TO THIS AND FOR PROCLAIMING JUNE AS ELDER ABUSE AWARENESS MONTH.

THE PENS THAT I GAVE YOU ARE PURPLE BECAUSE PURPLE SIGNIFIES ELDER ABUSE AWARENESS.

AND WE WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW THAT THIS COUNTY SUPPORTS NOT ONLY THE AWARENESS OF ELDER ABUSE, BUT THE PREVENTION OF IT.

SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

AND FINALLY, WHAT YOU HAVE, AND THE BROCHURE ALSO HAS OUR ONE 800 NUMBER, WHICH I WANT TO STATE FOR THE RECORD, IS 1-800-252-FIVE FOUR ZERO ZERO.

THAT PHONE IS ANSWERED 24 HOURS A DAY, SEVEN DAYS A WEEK, UH, 365 DAYS A YEAR TO PROVO TO REPORT ABUSE, NEGLECT, OR FINANCIAL EXPLOITATION, AND A CASE MANAGER WILL BE ASSIGNED.

WORK WITH OUR FIXED ASSETS MANAGER ON SURPLUS AUCTIONS.

UM, HOWEVER, IF WE HAVE PIECES OF EQUIPMENT TO GO TO RICHIE BROTHERS OR OTHER AUCTION SERVICES, IT IS TOTALLY ACCEPTABLE.

UM, THERE'S, IT'S NOT A, YOU KNOW, AN ISSUE AGAINST A CONTRACT SINCE THERE ISN'T ONE.

UM, THEY ALSO, WITH IF GOING THROUGH THE BIBLE CONTRACT FOR EVERY DOLLAR, UM, WE GET 1% BACK LIKE WE DO ON ALL THE OTHER EXPENSES OF PURCHASES THROUGH THE BILLBOARD.

WE ALSO GET A REBA REBATE BACK OF 1% FOR THE SALES.

SO, UM, THAT'S ADDITIONAL FUNDS THAT WE WOULDN'T GET OTHERWISE.

I'M EXCITED ABOUT THIS.

THE VISIBILITY IS A LOT.

UH, IT'S NATIONWIDE AND, UM, A LOT OF THE FEEDBACK THAT I GOT FROM THE OTHER COUNTIES AND AND CITIES THAT UTILIZE THEM SAID THAT THEY, THEY'RE, WHAT THEY WERE SELLING VEHICLES AND SO FORTH, UH, FOR WENT UP QUITE A BIT.

UM, WE, WE HAVE A SITUATION HERE THAT, UM, SINCE MY INVOLVEMENT WITH, IN COMING DOWN AND GOING THROUGH THIS, AND, UH, MY DISCUSSIONS WITH NOW RETIRED, UH, THE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT COORDINATOR, SEAN HUGHES, WHO AGREED THAT, UH, THERE WAS GONNA BE A REALLOCATION OF HIS MOVING, HIS PERSONNEL, WHICH I BELIEVE WERE TWO INVESTIGATORS OVER INTO VACANT SPACES IN HIS SPACE.

THE PROBLEM IS HERE WE HAVE, IS THAT THERE'S AN ENCROACHMENT OF COMBINED DEPARTMENTS INTO YOUR AREA, WHICH NEEDS TO BE GIVEN THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF YOUR INVESTIGATIONS.

THERE NEEDS TO BE A LITTLE BIT MORE, UH, ISOLATION, IF YOU WILL, UH, WITH TWO ENTRY POINTS.

ONE COMING IN FROM THE MAID LOBBY AND THEN ONE FROM THE NORTH SIDE AND THE BACK.

UM, MY RECOMMENDATION ON THIS TO THE COURT WOULD BE, IS TO, TO CHANGE THOSE LOCKS, UH, TO WHERE IT WOULD ONLY BE THE ACCESS POINTS BOTH TO YOURSELVES AND THE NECESSARY SOS OR WHOEVER ELSE THAT WOULD NEED, MIGHT NEED TO BE THERE ON A GIVEN SITUATION.

BUT TO, BUT MR. UM, I, I GUESS SEAN, UH, HAS AGREED TO DO THAT BEFORE HE RETIRED, TO MOVE THOSE.

AND IN FACT, THAT PROCESS SHOULD ALREADY BE HAPPENING PENDING THE OUTCOME OF THIS DECISION.

BUT, UH, THAT NEEDS, IT NEEDS TO BE ISOLATED INTO YOUR DEPARTMENT ONLY WHERE THERE'S AN ENCROACHMENT OF OTHER DEPARTMENTS COMING IN, WHICH THEN COMPROMISES THE INVESTIGATIVE REPORTS AND OTHER CONFIDENTIAL DOCUMENTS THAT YOU HAVE.

WOULD YOU AGREE WITH THAT? OKAY.

SO, AND I THINK EVERYBODY'S IN AGREEMENT WITH THAT.

AND THE SPACE IS THERE FOR THOSE TO BE MOVED.

IT'S, IT'S A, IT'S A NO BRAINER, JUST, IT JUST SOLIDIFIES AND PROTECTS, UH, THE WORK THAT YOU DO.

WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER HOLT.

SO WHAT'S THE MOTION? THE MOTION IS TO ISOLATE THAT SECTION OF THE BUILDING TO ONLY BE THE MEDICAL OFFICER AND THEIR STAFF, OR THE MEDICAL EXAMINER AND THEIR STAFF, UM, INSTEAD OF MIXING.

AND I, I MADE THE SECOND.

AND, AND, AND THE, AGAIN, THE, UH, IT, IT, IT'S A NO BRAINER.

IT'S VERY SIMPLE.

IT'S A SIMPLE MOVE.

AND, UH, THAT WAY IT JUST PROTECTS EVERYONE INVOLVED.

SO, UH, IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM? HOW MANY, HOW MANY OFFICES DO YOU HAVE IN THAT SECTION? THERE'S TWO, OR YOU HAVE OFFICES AND THERE'S A, WELL, THREE OFFICES.

WELL, I ONLY HAVE ONE OFFICE.

WE ALL SHARE AN OFFICE.

THE THREE INVESTIGATORS AND MYSELF RIGHT NOW SHARE AN OFFICE.

THEY'RE, THEY'RE, THEY'RE CRA TAKING OVER THAT SECTION.

THERE'S YES, SIR.

THE WEST SIDE OF IT.

JUST, THERE'LL BE HOW MANY OFFICES? THERE'LL BE THREE.

THREE, YEAH.

THEY'RE CRAMMED IN THERE WITH, WITH A DEPARTMENT

[01:10:01]

OF WHAT, FOUR? YES, SIR.

SO I MEAN, IT JUST MAKES SENSE TO, TO ENSURE THAT THE PROTECTION OF THOSE RECORDS, UM, GIVEN AND IT GETS THEM INTO OTHER DEPARTMENT, WHICH THEY HAVE SPACE FOR.

SO IT'S, IT'S REALLY A NO BRAINER ON THAT PART.

SO, ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM? YOU HAVE TO DO ANY REMODELING OR NO, SIR.

JUST CHANGING THE LOT.

ALL IN FAVOR? MOTION PASSES.

OH, THANK YOU.

OKAY, WE'RE GONNA GO BACK TO ITEM FIVE ON UPDATE ON TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS.

[5.A. Consider engineering contract for the Ric Williamson Memorial Highway Widening Project. (Chris Bosco / Judge Deen)]

UNDER ITEM A CONSIDER ENGINEERING CONTRACT FOR THE RICK WILLIAMSON MEMORIAL HIGHWAY WHINING PROJECT.

SORRY, CHRIS.

GOT TWO EVENTUALLY.

UM, SO TODAY I HAVE, UH, TWO, TWO CONTRACTS FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.

LET'S SEE.

UM, ONE IS, UH, RICK WILLIAMS MEMORIAL HIGHWAY IN, IN PRECINCT THREE, AND THEN ANOTHER IS, UH, ELLIS CREEK SUBDIVISION ROADS, UM, STARTING WITH, UH, RICK WILLIAMSON.

UM, SO THIS WOULD BE FOR, UH, ENGINEERING SERVICES, UH, FOR ADDING, UH, TWO MORE LANES TO RICK WILLIAMSON.

UH, WE'RE ALSO ACTIVELY, UH, REDOING, OR IT'S MODIFICATION TO THE SIGNAL AT 20, UH, SPUR THREE 12, UH, AND 180.

UH, WE HAVE A DESIGN CONCEPT TO POSSIBLY GET RID OF THE GREENWOOD SIGNAL.

UH, SO THAT, THAT'S SOMETHING WE'VE BEEN, UM, MEETING WITH, UH, COMMISSIONER WALDEN ON.

UH, THE TARGET HERE, IF YOU RECALL FROM THE, UH, PROGRAM MANAGEMENT PLAN IS, UH, THIS WOULD BE THE FIRST LARGE JOB, UH, THAT WOULD BID OUT.

AND WE'RE TRYING TO ADVERTISE THIS ONE IN OCTOBER.

UH, AND, AND ONE REASON WHY IT CAN BE ONE OF THE EARLY LARGER PROJECTS IS JUST THAT, THE RIGHT OF WAY'S IN PLACE, UH, FROM THE 2008 BOND PROGRAM.

UH, SO THIS INCLUDES, UH, Y'ALL PREVIOUSLY APPROVED THE SURVEYING, SO THE PROJECT'S ALREADY BEEN SURVEYED, UH, BUT WE DID ADD, UH, GEOTECH AND, UH, SUE.

SO SUBSERVICE UTILITY, UM, INVESTIGATION TO THIS PROPOSAL.

AND THEN WE INCLUDES THE MANAGEMENT, UH, SOME TRAFFIC ANALYSIS, MAINLY IN THAT TRANSITION AT 180 AS WE'RE TRYING TO SET, UH, IT WAS PREVIOUSLY SET UP FOR THE BRIDGE.

AND THEN ONE OF THE THINGS WHEN WE ADD THE TWO LANES ON IS, UH, KIND OF ESTABLISHING THAT, SUCH THAT WHEN THE BRIDGE COMES IN, ALL THE PAVING WORK ON THE ROAD WILL BE IN PLACE.

UH, AND THEN THE BID PHASE SERVICES.

UH, SO THE TOTAL, UH, COST FOR THE ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR RICK WILLIAMSON IS 665,450.

UH, IN THE PMP, UH, WE HAD A BUDGET FOR THESE SERVICES, INCLUDING THE SURVEY THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY APPROVED AT, UH, 780,000 THAT INCLUDED ALL THE SUBSURFACE AND THE ENGINEERING.

AND THIS MONEY COMES OUT OF THE NEW BOND.

UH, YES, SIR.

THIS WAS ONE OF THE, THE LARGER PROJECTS IN, IN PRECINCT THREE, RIGHT? WE HAD THE EAST WEST, UH, CONNECTOR ROAD, AND THEN THIS PROJECT.

WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN WITH THE SGA BY COMMISSIONER CONY.

WE'RE IN THE DISCUSSION PHASE.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION YOU HAVE? ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANNA ADD? UH, NO.

NO.

WE'VE, WE'VE BEEN, UH, WORKING PRETTY HARD ON THIS PROJECT FROM THE, UH, BEGINNING OF THE BOND.

AND SO WE, WE HAVE DONE THE SIGNAL WORK AND WE'RE SUBMITTING THAT GOTCHA.

TO TECH STOCK TO GET APPROVAL.

JUST QUICK, QUICK QUESTION.

AT SOME POINT THERE WAS SOME DISCUSSION AROUND THE INTERSECTION AT 51 IN THE NEW LOOP AND GETTING SOME TURN ACCESS THERE FOR TRAFFIC THAT'S HEADED WEST, TURNING NORTH.

WESTBOUND TRAFFIC ON THE NEW LOOP THAT'S EITHER TURNING NORTH ONTO 51 OR CONTINUING WEST ON DESIGN HILL NINE 20, UH, 180, WHATEVER.

IS IS THERE STILL, UM, YEAH, THE, THE, ANY DEGREE OF, UH, INTERACTION THERE? SO, SO I THINK WE HAD TALKED ABOUT IT IN THE CONTEXT OF THIS AS WELL, RIGHT? WHAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THERE IS TO ACTUALLY HAVE THAT BE A BID ALTERNATE TO THIS PROJECT, SO THEN Y'ALL WOULD BE ABLE TO CONSIDER THE COST.

UH, SO WHAT COMMISSIONER HOLT'S REFERRING TO IS IT, WE HAVE A, UM, KIND OF A SMALL FREE RIGHT TURN AT 51, UH, AND WHAT WE'D BE LOOKING TO DO IS EXTEND THAT RIGHT TURN.

SO THIS WOULD BE A, UM, WESTBOUND TO NORTH, UM, AT, AT 51 AND THE LOOP.

AND SO, UH, WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT IS ACTUALLY HAVING THAT AS A BID ALTERNATE, UH, TO THIS PROJECT.

AND THEN ONCE WE GET THE BIDS, Y'ALL BE ABLE TO KIND OF CONSIDER IF THAT'S A COST TO INCLUDE ALL, ALL

[01:15:01]

ALL OF THAT TRAFFIC OCCUPIES THE SAME SINGLE LANE.

SO THE IDEA IS TO TAKE THE FREE RIGHT TURN, CREATE AN EXTENDED TURN LANE, SO THAT THE NORTHBOUND TRAFFIC, THE, THE TRAFFIC HEAD OF WEST THAT WANTS TO TURN NORTH, CAN SEPARATE FROM THE TRAFFIC.

IT'S STILL HEADED WEST THE ENTIRE TIME.

AND, AND ONE OTHER ELEMENT IS I MENTIONED HOW, UH, WE FEEL LIKE WE CAN, UH, GET RID OF THE SIGNAL AT GREENWOOD, UH, IN THE BOND.

YOU KNOW, WE HAVE THE SIGNAL AT OLD GARDNER, AND, UH, THE THINKING IS THAT POSSIBLY WE'RE JUST RELOCATING THAT SIGNAL, SO THAT WILL SAVE COST ON THAT PROJECT.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? MOTION PASSES.

OH, THANK YOU.

[5.B. Consider engineering contract for the Ellis Creek Subdivision Road Improvements Project. (Chris Bosco / Judge Deen)]

WE'LL GET ITEM B ON CONSIDER ENGINEERING CONTRACT FOR THE ELLIS CREEK SUBDIVISION ROAD IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT.

UM, SO THE ELLIS CREEK, UH, SUBDIVISION IS A PROJECT IN PRECINCT.

UH, THIS WOULD BE A, UM, A NEW PROJECT, UM, THAT WOULD BE, UH, FUNDED THROUGH, UH, PRECINCT TWO DISCRETIONARY FUNDS.

UH, SO ELLIS CREEK, THIS INCLUDES, UM, I THINK THAT'S MY LAPTOP, ACTUALLY.

, YEAH, I NEED TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO MEET THAT .

SORRY.

UM, SO, UH, THE, THE IDEA OF THIS PROJECT THERE, THERE WAS TWO PHASES OF THIS SUBDIVISION.

UH, THE SECOND PHASE HAS HAD QUITE A BIT OF DETERIORATION OF THE ROADS.

AND SO, UH, THIS WOULD ACTUALLY REBUILD, UH, THOSE RESIDENTIAL ROADS ON THE FIRST PHASE OF THE SUBDIVISION.

UH, IT WOULD JUST BE MORE OF A MAINTENANCE.

UH, WE WOULD JUST BE CRACK SEALING, UH, THE SURFACE TO EXTEND THE LIFE.

UM, SO IT'S KIND OF A COMBINATION OF SOME RECONSTRUCTION AND SOME MAINTENANCE.

UH, AND THEN THIS RIGHT HERE IMPROVES THE, THE ENGINEERING EFFORT FOR THAT.

AND WE'LL OF COURSE, UH, COME BACK FOR APPROVAL FOR, UH, THE CONSTRUCTION, UH, FUNDS.

BUT, UH, WITH THE APPROVAL OF THIS, WE WOULD ALLOCATE, UH, A PORTION OF DISCRETIONARY FUNDS TO FUND, UH, THE ENGINEERING HERE IS 35,800.

OKAY, CHRIS, WE HAVE A MOTION.

UH, AND A SECOND WOULD, UH, COMMISSIONER HOLT MAKING THE MOTION WITH A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN, WE'RE IN THE DISCUSSION PHASE.

UH, ANY CLOSE OUT ON THIS THAT YOU WANNA ADD? UH, NO.

THIS ONE I, GIVEN THE, THE TYPE OF ROAD WE EXPECT TO BE ABLE TO ADVERTISE IT AT THE END OF JULY.

SO, UM, VERY WELL.

SIX C ON UPDATE THE COMMISSIONER'S COURT ON THE STATEWIDE EMERGENCY RADIO INFRASTRUCTURE.

ALL IN, UH, ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? SORRY.

DON'T MEAN TO CUT YOU OFF.

NOPE, THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, CHRIS, SORRY TO MAKE YOU WAIT.

UH, WE'RE GONNA GO BACK TO ITEM, UH, WELL ACTUALLY WE'RE, IT'S NEXT ON THE AGENDA ITEM

[6.C. Update the Commissioners Court on the Statewide Emergency Radio Infrastructure (SERI) Grant. (Sean Hughes / Judge Deen)]

SIRI GRANT, I THINK, UH, WE STILL HAVE PART OF AN AUDIENCE HERE, UH, ON THAT.

SORRY TO MAKE YOU WAIT.

OH, THAT'S OKAY, SIR.

HI, I AM CINDY SMITH.

I'M THE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT OFFICER, UH, FOR PARKER COUNTY.

UH, THE SIRI GRANT IS STATE EMERGENCY RADIO INFRASTRUCTURE GRANT THAT SEAN HAD APPLIED FOR, UH, PREVIOUSLY THIS YEAR BEFORE I STARTED WITH THE COUNTY.

UM, TENTATIVELY IT HAS NOT BEEN OFFICIALLY THE PAPERWORK PRINTED AND EVERYTHING.

THE INK IS STILL VERY WET AND GETTING WRITTEN UP.

UH, PARKER COUNTY HAS BEEN PROJECTED TO RECEIVE $1.7 MILLION GRANT FOR THE RADIO INFRASTRUCTURE, THE STATEWIDE RADIO INFRASTRUCTURE PROGRAM.

UH, THIS IS ONE OF THE LARGEST GRANTS THAT WAS, UH, FUNDED IN THE STATE OF TEXAS FOR THIS GO ROUND.

THIS IS AN UPDATE ONLY, IS THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR EMERGENCY OPERATIONS IN THE, UH, THE CITY OF WEATHERFORD? DON'T THEY GET PART OF THAT MONEY? OR MR. BALDWIN, DO YOU KNOW? I DON'T HAVE THAT INFORMATION.

IS THAT A SEPARATE BOND? I THINK IT'S SEPARATE.

NO, NO, SIR.

UH, SO THE CITY OF WEATHERFORD, PARKER COUNTY AND FORT WORTH WERE THE APPLICANT'S ON THIS, UH, APPLICATION PROCESS.

UH, THERE WERE FOUR GRANTS SUBMITTED FOR, UH, THE NORTH CENTRAL TEXAS COUNCIL OF GOVERNANCE REGION.

UM, AND THIS PROJECT WAS SELECTED TO GO FORWARD OUT OF THOSE FOUR, UM, IT WILL BE, UH, UH, JUST UNDER MY UNDERSTANDING IS THIS, THIS COURT HAS ALREADY APPROVED THE, UH, THE SPENDING OF THOSE FUNDS BY, UH, APPROVING THE SUBMISSION OF THE GRANT ITSELF.

IT'S A REIMBURSABLE GRANT WHERE PARKER COUNTY WILL PAY THAT MONEY UP FRONT, MANAGE THAT, UH, MANAGE THAT CONTRACT AND THAT PROJECT, UM, AND THEN SEEK REIMBURSEMENT FROM THE STATE.

I DO HAVE ONE OTHER UPDATE FOR EMERGENCY OPERATIONS, UM, CPR, STOP, THE BLE CPR, BASIC FIRST AID, STOP THE BLEED CLASSES.

WE'VE GOT AT THIS MOMENT OVER 109 PEOPLE THAT ARE SIGNED UP TO TAKE THOSE CLASSES.

THOSE WILL BE BEGINNING IN JULY.

HATE TO STOP YOU, BUT THIS IS OFF AGENDA.

[01:20:01]

IT WAS JUST AN UPDATE.

NO, I, I KNOW.

UNDER ITEM SEVEN A UNDER UPDATE ON ISD SUPERINTENDENT'S JUVENILE BOARD MEETING ATTENDED.

I KNOW.

I'M JUST TRYING TO, OKAY.

SORRY TO, HEY, AND THANK, BUT THANK YOU FOR THE INFORMATION

[7.A. Update on ISD Superintendents Juvenile Board Meeting attended. (Judge Deen)]

UM, IN ALL THIS PAPERWORK THAT YOU HAVE, UH, I HAD COPIES OF WHAT WAS HANDED OUT.

I ATTENDED, UM, I COLLABORATED OR, OR, OR TALKED TO COMMISSIONER WALDEN WHO EXPRESSED INTEREST IN WANTING TO GO AND TRY TO ECHO CONCERNS THAT YOU HAD AND, AND, AND ADDRESS SOME OF THOSE.

AND IN THIS, I'LL GET TO IT HERE SOMEWHERE.

ALRIGHT, HERE WE GO.

WHAT YOU HAVE HERE IS AN MOU THAT HAS, UH, NOT BEEN APPROVED BY THE PARKER COUNTY JUVENILE BOARD, BUT IS A ROUGH DRAFT AND WAS PRESENTED AT THAT BOARD AS A ROUGH DRAFT WITH KIND OF A MOVING DOCUMENT TO BE COMPLETED.

AND IT WAS, THAT DOCUMENT WAS, WHAT WAS THE NARRATIVE? THEY DID HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE THAT WAS OVER THE, I BELIEVE THE 23 J JEPS IN TEXAS, UH, THAT WAS ABLE TO PROVIDE SOME INPUT TO THIS.

I THINK I'M GONNA GIVE YOU SOME OF THE, THE KEY POINTS AND SOME OF THE CONCERNS THAT I DID DISCUSS AND ADDRESS WITH COMMISSIONER WALDEN ON THIS.

AND I THINK WE ALL SHARE, UH, BECAUSE WE'VE NOW BEEN PUT INTO A SITUATION, UH, GIVEN THE, THE TRIGGER THAT HIT PARKER COUNTY IS TO, TO PUT US IN THE EDUCATION SYSTEM.

AND THAT OBVIOUSLY IS AN IMPACT.

AND NOTHING SHORT OF AN UNFUNDED MANDATE CLEARLY TO US AS WE, UH, TRY TO FUND THIS.

AND SO THE BUDGET HAD BEEN SET.

AND SO DURING THAT MEETING, UH, ONE OF THANK YOU, DURING THAT MEETING, UM, THERE WAS SOME ITEMS DISCUSSED IN TERMS OF THE EQUIPMENT THAT WOULD BE PURCHASED THAT WAS BUDGETED FOR.

UH, A LOT OF THE FEEDBACK THAT THAT WAS REQUESTED WAS THAT A LOT OF THE EQUIPMENT THAT WE NEED IS GONNA BE SURPLUS BY MUCH OF THE ISDS.

IT'S SOMETHING WE WERE ABLE TO OBTAIN THAT SHOULD BE ABLE TO DROP THAT NUMBER OF THE BUDGET.

WHEREAS BUYING NEW DESK AND, AND ITEMS WHERE WE CAN ACTUALLY SECURE SOME OF THOSE, THAT'LL BE SURPLUS BY SOME OF THESE ISDS WHERE WE WON'T HAVE TO PAY FOR THOSE.

THAT SHOULD REDUCE THAT NUMBER GREATLY.

THE QUESTION WAS ASKED TO THE DIRECTOR OVER THE JUDGE AEPS, THE, THE INDIVIDUAL THAT COMES IN AND HELPS SET UP AND, AND HELPS MANAGE THIS.

THE QUESTION WAS POSED TO HIM, WHAT DOES THIS LOOK LIKE IN TERMS OF WHAT YEAR ONE AND LOOKING AT THIS, AND THEN YEAR FOUR AND, UM, THE FEEDBACK WAS THAT YOU'RE PROBABLY LOOKING AT AROUND 30 OR SO THAT WILL BE IN THIS CLASS OR BE IN THIS SCHOOL THE FIRST YEAR 'CAUSE YOU'RE TRYING TO FIND YOUR WAY.

AND THEN IN YEAR FOUR, THREE OR FOUR, YOU'RE PROBABLY LOOKING AT OVER A THOUSAND STUDENTS.

AND SO WHAT THAT TELLS ME IS STAGGERINGLY, THAT THAT, THAT THIS IS GOING TO GROW BECAUSE THE DISCRETIONARY, THERE'S TWO MANDATORY DISCRETIONARY THAT, AND COMMISSIONER, YOU KNOW MORE ABOUT THIS THAN I DO CLEARLY, BUT THE DISCRETIONARY NUMBER IS THE ONE THAT'S GONNA GROW DRAMATICALLY AS EXPECTED.

AND SO WHAT THEY'RE GONNA DO IS ONE THAT MAY NOT GO TODAY, THAT THEY MAY KEEP, UH, CLEARLY BY YEAR THREE AND YEAR FOUR, THOSE WILL BE THE ONES THAT WILL BE LOOKED AT.

AND OBVIOUSLY THAT WILL GROW DRAMATICALLY.

SO WHAT WHAT THAT'S FACING US IS, IS A, UH, FROM A BUDGETARY STANDPOINT, I FOUND IT VERY INTERESTING DURING THE MEETING THAT, UM, WHERE THERE'S SPENDING TO BE DONE, IT'S JUST THE COUNTY WILL DO THAT.

AND, AND, BUT I JUST, I THINK THAT IT WAS CLEAR TO, TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY UNDERSTOOD.

I MEAN, THAT, THAT THAT'S A TAXPAYER INCREASE, THAT'S A, UH, INCREASE TO THE TAXPAYER THAT WE REPRESENT.

IT'S NOT THE COUNTY.

IT'S NOT JUST US PRINTING MONEY.

UH, IT'S IMPORTANT THAT THEY TRY TO BE AS CONSERVATIVE AS THEY CAN AND TRY TO UNDERSTAND THAT, THAT THESE DOLLARS COME IN THE FORM OF A TAX INCREASE POTENTIALLY IF WE'RE NOT ABLE TO ABSORB THIS.

AND THAT'S GONNA BE VERY DIFFICULT AS THIS PROGRAM GROWS OVER TIME.

BUT I, I THINK, AND, AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT CONCERN THAT I TOOK AWAY FROM IT WAS I THINK EVERYBODY'S WANTING TO GENUINELY REALLY TRYING TO WORK TOGETHER ON THIS.

MY CONCERN IS, IS THAT OVER TIME, UH, THAT MAY ERODE OR THAT MAY FALL BACK AND THE POTENTIAL IS TO COME BACK ON THE COUNTY, UH, UH, MAYBE FILLING SOME NEEDS.

I KNOW THAT ALITO IN THE MOU IS, IS STEPPED UP AND IS, IS WILLING TO PROVIDE MEALS, WHICH I THINK AND COMMEND TOLEDO FOUR, BUT THERE'S A LOT IN HERE AS YOU READ THROUGH THIS, THAT ARE COMMITMENTS AND, AND THINGS THAT ARE, WE'RE LOOKING AT NOW THAT COULD CHANGE AS THIS CONTINUES TO EVOLVE.

AND SO I'M VERY GLAD I WENT.

UM, I SPOKE WITH, UH, BO REESE, THE WEATHERFORD, UH, SCHOOL DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT WHO ASKED THAT.

I GO, ACTUALLY, IN TALKING

[01:25:01]

TO HIM, HE WAS SUPPORTIVE OF THAT AND, AND VERY PLEASED THAT I WENT.

BUT IT WAS, IT HELPED TO UNDERSTAND THIS, THAT, UH, THIS IS NEW TO US AND, AND REALLY IT'S US.

IT, IT'S THE JUVENILE BOARD THAT DEFINES THIS AND WORKING TOGETHER WITH THESE ISDS ON THESE STUDENTS THAT COME.

AND I, AND THE CONCERN THAT I HAVE, THAT I EXPRESSED WAS, IS THE EXPANSION OF THAT AND, AND THE, THE BROADER PARAMETER OF, OF SENDING THOSE DISCRETIONARY ONES AND KNOW THEY'RE LOOKING AT DEFINING, REDEFINING SOME OF THE PARAMETERS ON SOME OF THOSE, BUT BEING A LITTLE BIT MORE OPEN ON SENDING THOSE AND EXPANDING THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS THAT'S GONNA BE, UH, ATTENDING THOSE.

THE JJAP.

UH, THE QUESTION WAS ALSO POSED AS TO COULD WE JOIN ANOTHER ONE, UH, SUCH AS THE ONE IN TARRANT COUNTY.

AND THEY APPARENTLY HAVE APPROACHED THEM AND THEY DON'T HAVE THE CAPACITY.

UH, I HAVE NOT SPOKEN WITH THE TARRANT COUNTY ONE, BUT, UH, THE FEEDBACK WAS THAT THEY DON'T HAVE THE CAPACITY NOR THE WILLINGNESS TO WANT TO TAKE ON ANY STUDENTS FROM PARKER COUNTY.

UH, I WOULD ASK FOR ANY QUESTIONS IF I MISSED ANYTHING ON THIS.

I APPRECIATE YOU GOING, JUDGE.

I, I APPRECIATE THE INFORMATION.

HOWEVER, AT THE END OF SCHOOL YEAR LAST YEAR, ONE YEAR AGO, THERE WERE SEVEN STUDENTS WHO WERE MANDATORY STUDENTS.

AND, UH, ALL WERE OBLIGATED TO PROVIDE SERVICES FOR ARE THE MANDATORY STUDENTS, NOT THE DISCRETIONARIES.

SO THAT WOULD'VE BEEN SEVEN STUDENTS.

AND FROM OUR CONVERSATION, I UNDERSTAND THAT, THAT YOU DIDN'T, YOU DIDN'T GET A NUMBER THAT ARE MANDATORY PLACEMENTS AS OF RIGHT NOW.

NO, THEY WEREN'T READY FOR THAT.

THEY DID NOT.

I DID SPEAK TO JOHNSON COUNTY AND JOHNSON COUNTY AT THE END OF SCHOOL THIS YEAR HAD FIVE, UH, STUDENTS WHO WERE IN THEIR MANDATORY PROGRAM.

AND OF COURSE, THEY ONLY PROVIDE SERVICES TO THE MANDATORY PLACEMENTS, NOT THE DISCRETIONARY.

SO THAT, WHAT I'M SAYING IS THAT IN EDUCATION CODE, IT LAYS OUT THE STUDENTS AND THE OFFENSES THAT CREATE A MANDATORY PLACEMENT IN THE J-J-A-E-P AND GIVES YOU ANOTHER LIST OF DISCRETIONARY PLACEMENTS WHO CAN BE HANDLED IN THE DISTRICT'S OWN DAEP, THEIR OWN DISCIPLINARY, UH, ALTERNATIVE EDUCATION PROGRAM.

SO ALL WE'RE REQUIRED TO DO IS TAXPAYERS OF PARKER COUNTY OR MANAGE THOSE SEVEN OR EVER HOW MANY THERE ARE NOW STUDENTS.

AND I WOULD DISPUTE THAT THERE WOULD BE MORE THAN THAT IN THE FUTURE, BECAUSE THERE'S A SPECIFIC LIST OF OFFENSES THAT PUT YOU IN THAT CATEGORY.

SO, UH, ONCE AGAIN, I WANT TO, UH, SEND THE MESSAGE THAT THE TAXPAYERS OF PARKER COUNTY ARE NOT PREPARED, ARE WILLING TO PAY FOR MORE THAN JUST THE MANDATORY PLACEMENTS.

I GOT A QUESTION.

IN YOUR CONVERSATIONS WITH JOHNSON COUNTY, WAS THERE ANY BUDGET TALKS OR ANY IDEA OF WHAT THEIR BUDGETS ARE ON THIS? I DON'T HAVE THAT NUMBER YET FOR YOU, BUT I WILL BY THE NEXT TIME WE MEET.

KNOW, THAT'S NOT OUR ROLE.

BECAUSE, UM, IN THEIR SITUATION, THE SCHOOL DISTRICT PROVIDES THE LOCATION, THE FACILITY FOR THAT, UH, THOSE PLACEMENTS FOR THE ENTIRE COUNTY, UH, CLEVELAND, ISD IN, IN CLEVELAND AND COUNTY SEAT THERE.

AND, UH, THEY ALSO PROVIDE THE MEALS AND THEY ALSO HAVE, UH, EDUCATORS THERE WHO ARE EMPLOYED BY THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.

SO THEIR COST IS GONNA BE MINIMAL.

I SEE.

AND OURS CAN BE TOO.

WELL, AND, AND THAT'S A GOOD, I'M GONNA, I WANNA ADDRESS THAT BECAUSE THERE WERE SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN THERE THAT I WAS IN THE INITIAL MEETING WHERE IT, IT STEPPED UP AND, AND, AND, AND WE'RE GONNA TRY TO MAKE EFFORTS TO, TO PROVIDE INSTRUCTORS.

UH, I BELIEVE THAT WEATHERFORD IS STILL CONTINUING TO TRY TO MAKE THAT EFFORT TO DO THAT.

I, I KNOW THAT SOME ARE AND, BUT SOME ARE NOT.

AND SO, UM, WILL THAT ERODE OVER TIME? I DON'T KNOW.

I KNOW, I KNOW THIS, THAT THOSE SCHOOL DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENTS ARE IN THIS WITH US, THAT, UH, THEY'RE DOING EVERYTHING THEY CAN.

MY, MY GOAL, AND I EXPRESS THIS, IS THAT I HOPE WE CONTINUE TO MANAGE THIS IN, IN A WAY, IN ACCORDANCE WITH BEING AS CONSERVATIVE AS WE CAN, AS THE ONES THAT NEED TO GO, NEED TO GO, AND THE ONES THAT DON'T, DON'T.

AND, AND THAT'S GONNA BE THE REAL KEY.

ONE OTHER THING I WANTED TO POINT OUT, I FORGOT ABOUT WAS THAT THE JJEP IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TRANSPORTATION, THE ISDS THAT ARE OUT WEST.

IT'S A LOGISTICAL NIGHTMARE FOR THEM TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET THOSE STUDENTS TO THEM, SO THEY MAY NOT EVEN PARTICIPATE.

SO WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS ALITO, WEATHERFORD BEING THE PRIMARY ONES, WHICH WE KNEW THAT GOING IN.

BUT, UM, IT'S JUST GONNA BE A, A DIFFICULT CHALLENGE LOGISTICALLY FOR THOSE PARTICIPANTS IN THE EASTERN QUADRANT OF PARKER COUNTY TO PARTICIPATE BECAUSE OF THE TRYING TO EITHER COORDINATE AND GETTING THEM THERE.

AND IT'S GONNA EVEN BE DIFFICULT WITH THE ONES, UH, AZEL AND, UM, OBVIOUSLY SPRINGTOWN OR THE OTHERS THAT EITHER TRYING TO MEET BUSES OR TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET 'EM THERE.

YOU

[01:30:01]

WE'RE NOT IN THE TRANSPORTATION BUSINESS.

AND SO, UH, THAT'S GONNA HAVE TO BE DEALT WITH AND ADDRESSED.

AND THAT COULD REDUCE THOSE NUMBERS SOME.

BUT MY CONCERN IS, IS WITH THE LARGER SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND THE, YOU KNOW, HOW, AND YOU, YOU PUT IT BEST, IS TO CONTROL THAT NUMBER, HOPEFULLY, BECAUSE, UH, THIS BODY DOES MANAGE THE BUDGET.

I, I THINK THAT, UH, WORKING WITH THESE SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND GETTING WHAT SURPLUS AND GETTING SOME OF THAT EQUIPMENT, IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE NEW.

I MEAN, IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE, BUT TO BE SENSITIVE TO THE TAXPAYER MONEY AND FOCUSED ON THAT, UH, I THINK IS CRITICAL TO CONTINUE TO REITERATE, UH, THAT WE'RE RESPONSIBLE.

THEN I'M ON THE JUVENILE BOARD.

I REPRESENT THAT, AND I, I, THAT WAS CLEARLY MADE VERY OBVIOUS TO ME, VERY CLEAR TO ME AND OUR, OUR MEETING ON FRIDAY.

AND, UH, BUT MY ROLE ALSO AS A COUNTY JUDGE OF BEING ON THIS BODY REPRESENTS A BIGGER PICTURE OF THE TAXPAYER MONEY AND BEING FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT AS EACH OF YOU ARE.

SO, UM, WITH THAT, I'LL OPEN IT UP TO ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE, JUST, JUST FOR CLARITY TO ANYBODY THAT'S OUT THERE LISTENING, WHO ARE THE MEMBERS OF THE JUVENILE BOARD? UM, THE, UH, JPS, UH, I'M SORRY, THE COUNTY COURT OF LAW, TWO JUDGES, UM, JUDGE MARTIN AND JUDGE JOHNSON.

UH, THE TWO DISTRICT JUDGES, UH, JUDGE TOSON AND JUDGE QUISENBERRY, WHO JUDGE QUISENBERRY IS THE CHAIR OF THAT MEETING AND MYSELF.

REGARDING THE TRANSPORT, DO, DO THE PARENTS NOT TRANSPORT THE KIDS TO THESE SCHOOLS OR YES.

CAN THEY NOT? THEY CAN.

THEY CAN.

I HADN'T HEARD THAT DISCUSSED, SO THAT'S WHY I WANTED TO ASK THE QUESTION.

THEY CAN.

SO, JUST SO THAT I UNDERSTAND PROPERLY, THE WHOLE POINT OF THE J-J-A-E-P IS THAT WE HAVE JUVENILES WHO BY THEIR ACTIONS AND BEHAVIOR, DON'T NEED TO BE ON A REGULAR SCHOOL CAMPUS IN THEIR, IN THAT DISTRICT'S DAEP.

DO I UNDERSTAND THAT CORRECTLY? IT'S CORRECT.

IT'S SPEC, IT'S SPECIFIED IN THE EDUCATION CODE.

I THINK YOU PROBABLY HAVE IT LAID IN FRONT OF YOU THERE.

I DO.

AND SO AS I'M LOOKING AT THAT, WHEN I LOOK AT THE MANDATORY PLACEMENTS, THERE'S SOME SERIOUS STUFF ON HERE, CORRECT.

UH, HAVING A PROHIBITED WEAPON, THAT'S AN EXPLOSIVE WEAPON.

HAVING, UM, YOU KNOW, AGGRAVATED SEXUAL ASSAULT, MURDER, CAPITAL MURDER, THERE'S SOME, THERE'S SOME SERIOUS STUFF UNDER THE MANDATORY PLACEMENTS.

WHEN I FLIP OVER TO THE DISCRETIONARY PLACEMENTS, I SEE THINGS LIKE MISDEMEANOR, MARIJUANA, GLUE, AEROSOL PAINT, CAN ALCOHOL, THOSE ARE SOME, UH, BREACH OF A COMPUTER SECURITY SCHOOL NETWORK.

I GUESS JAMES, WE NEED TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT WHO WE'RE HIRING.

UM, THOSE ARE, THOSE ARE NOT THINGS THAT I THINK WE NEED TO TAKE ON.

HOWEVER, WHEN I ALSO LOOK WHAT'S UNDER THE DISCRETIONARY ITEMS, I SEE THINGS LIKE DEADLY CONDUCT ASSAULT ON AN EMPLOYEE, NON-SCHOOL STUDENT ON STUDENT AGGRAVATED ASSAULT, SEXUAL ASSAULT, OR AGGRAVATED SEXUAL ASSAULT, NON-SCHOOL STUDENT ON STUDENT MURDER, CAPITAL MURDER OR ATTEMPTED MURDER, CAPITAL MURDER NON-SCHOOL STUDENT ON STUDENT AGGRAVATED ROBBERY.

SO AS I READ THIS LIST, IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THERE'S THINGS ON THE DISCRETIONARY ITEMS THAT WE HAVE NO BUSINESS TAKEN CARE OF IN MY PERSONAL OPINION FROM A-J-J-A-E-P PERSPECTIVE.

HOWEVER, AS A PARENT OF CHILDREN WHO GO TO PUBLIC SCHOOL, THERE'S ALSO SOME THINGS ON THE DISCRETIONARY LIST THAT I WOULD ABSOLUTELY HOPE THAT THE J-J-A-E-P WOULD TAKE SO THAT WE GET THEM OFF OF THE REGULAR SCHOOL CAMPUSES.

THEY'RE GONNA BE OFF THE REGULAR SCHOOL CAMPUSES COMMISSIONER, THEY'RE GONNA BE IN THE DISCIPLINARY A EP PROGRAM OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.

SO THEY'RE GONNA BE SEGREGATED FROM THE SCHOOL POPULATION THAT IS STILL ON THE REGULAR SCHOOL CAMPUS, SIR, IT IS ON THE REGULAR SCHOOL COMP, BUT IF YOU'LL READ THE CONTINUED READ THERE, YOU'LL SEE THAT IT HAS TO BE REMOVED FROM CONTACT WITH OTHER SCHOOL, OTHER STUDENTS.

IT HAS TO BE IN A LOCATION THAT IS STILL ON THE REGULAR SCHOOL CAMPUS, WHICH IS WHY WHAT I WOULD LIKE IS I WOULD LIKE THE JUVENILE BOARD TO TAKE A LOOK AT THIS AND PERHAPS ADDRESS IT FURTHER IN THE MOU WHERE THEY LOOK AT SOME OF THESE THINGS WHERE WE'RE SEPARATING OUT, LET'S JUST USE A COMMON SENSE APPROACH.

WE'RE SEPARATING OUT A KID WHO SNIFFED A GLUCAN OR A PAINT CAN VERSUS NON-SCHOOL STUDENT ON STUDENT AGGRAVATED SEXUAL ASSAULT.

THAT NEEDS TO BE HANDLED WITH A LITTLE BIT OF NUANCE, IN MY OPINION.

AND IF THEY ARE CONVICTED OF THAT, THEY'RE GONNA GO BECOME A MANDATORY PLACEMENT.

AND I'LL POINT OUT, I WANNA INTERRUPT YOU.

SORRY, THIS SAYS MM-HMM.

RIGHT HERE.

SECOND COMMISSIONER ALSO POINT OUT THAT THE JUDGE, IF THEY GO IN FRONT OF A JUDGE FOR AN OFFENSE, THE JUDGE HAS THE ABILITY TO, TO PUT THEM INTO THIS PROGRAM.

SURE.

THEY HAVE THAT AUTHORITY TO DO THAT.

ON DISCRETIONARY VERSUS MANDATORY ELIMINATES THE ABILITY TO TAKE A LOOK AT THIS AND MAKE DECISIONS THAT MAKE SENSE FOR PARKER COUNTY.

THERE'S, THERE'S COURT ORDER UNDER OTHER, UM, I JUST, I, I THINK THAT DRAWING A HARD LINE

[01:35:01]

OBVIOUSLY THERE'S THINGS ON HERE UNDER DISCRETIONARY THAT I DON'T THINK THE JJEP HAS ANY BUSINESS TAKING ON ALCOHOL, MISDEMEANOR MARIJUANA.

LIKE THAT'S, THAT'S NOT WHAT THIS SHOULD BE ABOUT.

SOME OF THESE THINGS, THOUGH.

THAT'S, THAT'S MY OPINION.

OH, I AGREE.

I AGREE.

SO THE MANDATORY PLACEMENT IS IN PLACE OF EXPULSION.

THESE ARE STUDENTS THAT WOULD BE EXPELLED IN OTHER, IN OTHER, IN OUR TIMES.

BUT NOW THEY HAVE TO BE PLACED IN, IN THE, THE COUNTY'S J-J-A-E-P PROGRAM.

AND THERE'S A FINE LINE THERE BETWEEN THOSE AND IT, AND THE DISCRETION OF THE JUDGE TO PLACE THEM IN JJAP IS ALWAYS THERE.

RIGHT, RIGHT.

UH, JUST LET, UM, ALL THE OTHER THINGS, I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO, UM, LOOK THROUGH THIS THOROUGHLY.

THIS, THIS IS THE DOCUMENTS THAT WERE PASSED OUT.

THEY WILL BE ON THE WEATHERFORD CALENDAR, UH, WHICH POSES A LITTLE BIT OF A CHALLENGE FOR ALITO.

AND SO THERE'LL BE SOME OVERLAP IN THIS WHERE, UH, SOME OF THE STUDENTS MAY HAVE EXTRA TIME OFF, BUT THAT IS ONE OF THE CHALLENGES THEY FACE AND IT IS PUT FORTH BY THE DIRECTOR.

THESE THINGS TEND TO BE WORKED OUT AS THEY MOVE FORWARD.

SO, UH, IT WAS A GOOD MEETING.

I THINK, AGAIN, I THINK EVERYBODY IN THERE IS GENERALLY WANTING TO HELP.

I, I COMMEND THE, UH, OPENLY COMMEND THE SUPERINTENDENTS FOR THEIR SUPPORT AND HELP FROM THIS.

IT'S JUST, AGAIN, IT COMES BACK TO THE COUNTY WITH, YOU KNOW, HOPEFULLY WE WILL BE ABLE TO MANAGE THIS IN ACCORDANCE WITH, UH, COMMISSIONER HOLT'S, UH, FEEDBACK.

AND OBVIOUSLY COMMISSIONER WALDEN, IT WAS IMPORTANT TO ME THAT WE TALKED, UH, WITH YOUR INTEREST IN WANTING TO GO TO THAT MEETING.

UM, SO ANYWAY, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON THIS? SO YOU HAD MENTIONED THAT THERE WAS SOME, SOME TALK ABOUT THE TRANSPORT BEING DIFFICULT FOR THOSE IN THE WESTERN PART OF THE COUNTY.

WAS THAT BECAUSE OF THE LOCATION YES.

OF THE, THE SCHOOL.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS IF THESE KIDS ARE MANDATED TO GO TO THIS AND THEY DON'T SHOW UP? THEY'VE BEEN BEING MANAGED, THEY'VE BEEN BEING MANAGED BY THE SCHOOL DISTRICT IN A DIFFERENT MANNER.

IF THEY DON'T COME TO US, THEN WE'RE, WE'RE NOT RESPONSIBLE.

AND IT'LL GO THROUGH, UH, TRUANCY AT THAT POINT AND MULTIPLE TRUANCY, AND THERE'S REPERCUSSIONS AS WELL.

IF THEY JUST DON'T COME REPERCUSSIONS ON THE, UH, PARENTS.

ON, ON THE STUDENT AS WELL.

STUDENT ON THE STUDENT AS WELL.

JUST THE STUDENT, NOT THE PARENT.

THAT'S, UH, THEY DON'T SHOW UP.

PARENT CONTRIBUTING IS A DIFFERENT CHARGE FOR PARENTS NOT GETTING THEIR KID THERE.

TRUANCY IS ON THAT CHILD.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? UM, CONTINUED UPDATES.

EXPECT THEM AS WE CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS IN THE EARLY INFANCY STAGES OF THIS AS WE DEVELOP THIS.

SO, UH, I WILL, UM, ALMOST JUST, JUST PUT THIS AS A STANDING ORDER ON THERE, ON ANY UPDATES ON THIS, MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE AWARE OF WHAT'S GOING ON.

JUST ITEM C, DISCUSS, TAKE ACTION ON ECONOMIC INCENTIVE POLICY.

WE'LL MOVE DOWN TO ITEM B EIGHT.

WE'LL TAKE NO ACTION ON THAT.

MOVE.

[8.C. Discuss/Take action on economic incentive policy. (John Forrest / Judge Deen)]

UM, CHRIS, UH, I BELIEVE YOU ALL HAVE THE, UH, INFORMATION, THE AMENDED INCENTIVE POLICY WITH A COUPLE OF NEW PROGRAMS, UH, IN THERE IN FRONT OF YOU.

UM, JUDGE COMMISSIONERS, DID YOU WANT ME TO GO OVER THOSE NEW PROGRAMS VERY BRIEFLY, OR DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME? YEAH, JUST THE HIGHLIGHTS.

JUST THE HIGHLIGHTS.

SO LET ME BRING IT UP ON MY COMPUTER HERE.

UM, SO IF YOU SCROLL, IF YOU GET TO, UH, PAGE, WELL NUMBER ONE, I'LL START AT THE BEGINNING.

ON PAGE, UH, TWO, YOU CAN SEE WE'VE REMOVED, UM, SOME OF THE LANGUAGE THERE AROUND, UH, THE INCENTIVE APPLICATION.

AND I'M ACTUALLY DEVELOPING A NEW INCENTIVE APPLICATION, UH, FOR CONSIDERATION THAT SHOULD BE IN FRONT OF YOU AT THE NEXT MEETING.

SO THIS IS JUST, UH, PREEMPTIVE, UH, TAKING SOME OF THIS INFORMATION OUT OF THE INCENTIVE POLICY ITSELF TO PUT INTO THE NEW APPLICATION.

MOVING DOWN TO PAGE SIX, UH, THIS IS THE FIRST NEW PROGRAM THAT WE'VE DISCUSSED BEFORE, A FILM TAX CREDIT PROGRAM, WHICH WILL, DID YOU HAVE A QUESTION, SIR? ARE YOU, HOW'D YOU PUT IT UP FOR US? OH, I DID NOT.

I DON'T EVEN, THAT'S ALL, THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

IF YOU GO AHEAD.

I'M SORRY.

YOU HAD, YOU HAD IT THERE.

I THOUGHT YOU WERE TRYING TO PUT IT UP.

IT'S FINE.

UM, SO, UH, THE FILM TAX CREDIT PROGRAM, THIS IS IN AN EFFORT TO, UH, YOU KNOW, BOLSTER MORE, UH, ENTERTAINMENT ACTIVITY.

OBVIOUSLY WE ALREADY HAVE SOME OF THAT HAPPENING RIGHT NOW.

UH, A LOT OF THOSE PROGRAMS, UH, AT, ARE AT THE STATE LEVEL.

THIS WOULD BE

[01:40:01]

AT THE COUNTY LEVEL.

AND SO IT WOULD BE A REBATE PROGRAM BASED UPON A SALES TAX SPEND, UH, BY THE ENTITY, APPLYING ENTITY FOR THAT.

UH, SO WE WOULD, UH, LOOK AT WHAT THEIR SALES TAX SPEND ELIGIBLE SALES TAX SPEND IS, UH, COME UP WITH A PERCENTAGE.

AND THEN AT THE END OF REPORTING, UH, AND PRODUCTION, UH, THEN A REBATE WOULD BE PROVIDED BACK TO THAT GROUP.

AND SO, AS YOU CAN SEE IN HERE, UH, WE HAVE MULTIPLE DIFFERENT, UH, SEGMENTS OF THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY, NOT ONLY RELATED TO FILM AND TV, UH, BUT ALSO HAVE SOME THINGS IN HERE, UH, AROUND SOUND AND, UH, VIDEO GAME PRODUCTION AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT PROGRAM? NO, YOU'RE GOOD.

UH, THE NEXT PROGRAM, UH, YOU SEE IS THE CATALYTIC PROJECT PROGRAM.

UH, SO WHAT WE HAVE DONE HERE IS TRY TO, UH, CREATE A PROGRAM THAT GIVES THE, UH, THE JUDGE AND THE COMMISSIONERS A LITTLE BIT MORE FLEXIBILITY ON PROJECTS THAT WE WOULD FIND TO BE CATALYTIC TO THE COUNTY OR A SPECIFIC SEGMENT OF THE COUNTY OR A SPECIFIC NEED BY THE COUNTY.

SO IF YOU LOOK, UH, AT THE DIFFERENT PROGRAMS THAT WE HAVE IN THERE, AGAIN, JUST PROVIDING A LITTLE BIT MORE FLEXIBILITY FOR THE, UH, THE COURT HERE TO SUPPORT A PROJECT THAT THEY DEEM WOULD BE A, A GREAT BENEFIT TO THE COUNTY THAT GOES OUTSIDE OF THE TRADITIONAL INCENTIVE POLICY.

UH, AND THEN THE LAST PROGRAM WE HAVE IN HERE, UH, SECTION EIGHT, UH, THE MEGA PROJECT PROGRAM, OBVIOUSLY, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE SEEN A LOT OF THESE, UH, MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR PROJECTS COME THROUGH.

UH, WE EXPECT TO SEE SOME MORE OF THOSE AS THE STATE, UH, RAMPS UP THEIR, UH, SCHOOL ABATEMENT POLICY AGAIN.

UH, AND SO WE WANT TO JUST PREEMPT THAT TO HAVE SOMETHING, UH, IN THE, UH, POLICY THAT GAVE US SOME DEFINED GUIDELINES ON HOW WE SHOULD APPROACH THAT.

UH, BECAUSE IN OUR TRADITIONAL, UH, POLICY IN THE MATRIX THAT IS ON PAGE THREE, UH, YOU SEE THAT, UH, WE, YOU KNOW, KIND OF CAP IT AT 80 MILLION AND OVER AND THERE'S A LOT OF WIGGLE ROOM BETWEEN 80 MILLION AND A BILLION DOLLARS.

SO WE JUST WANTED TO CREATE A LITTLE BIT OF MORE CLARIFICATION AROUND SOME OF THESE LARGER PROJECTS AND THE RATIONALE OF, UH, OF WHAT THE ABATEMENT MIGHT BE.

AND THEN LASTLY, UH, YOU CAN SAY ON, SEE THE LAST PAGE THERE, WE'VE ALSO PULLED OUT, UH, THE, THE APPLICATION PORTION, BECAUSE AGAIN, WE'RE CREATING A DIFFERENT APPLICATION AND SO IT DOES NOT NEED TO BE ATTACHED OR INSIDE THE POLICY.

THAT SHOULD BE A SEPARATE, SEPARATE DOCUMENT.

SO WE'RE JUST PULLING THAT OUT RIGHT NOW AND, AND PUTTING IT INTO THE APPLICATION THAT YOU'LL HAVE HERE PROBABLY IN THE NEXT MEETING.

WE'LL GO TO ITEM D AND APPROVE THE 2023 BRA BASHED DISBURSEMENT IN THE AMOUNT OF $77,000.

VERY GOOD.

GREAT.

AND YOU ALSO HAVE SOMETHING ON EXECUTIVE SESSION YOU WANT? I DO.

UH, NO ACTION ON THAT ITEM.

[8.D. Approve the 2023 Brazos Bash disbursement in the amount of $77,501. (Brianna Fowler / Judge Deen)]

WE RECEIVED DISBURSEMENT FROM THE OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR RELATED TO THE BRAZOS BASH GRANT.

UH, THE TOTAL WE RECEIVED FROM THE EVENT TRUST FUND WAS 89,902.

UH, 12,000 4 0 1 WAS OUR COUNTY MATCH.

SO AS YOU RECALL, UM, WE HAD TO SEND THAT COUNTY MATCH, UM, BASICALLY AS A DEPOSIT INTO ESCROW INTO THAT EVENT TRUST FUND.

SO WE RECEIVED THAT BACK AND THEN THE TOTAL AMOUNT THAT WAS, UM, AWARDED TO THE COUNTY UNDER THE PASS THROUGH WAS 77,501.

AND SO NOW I'M REQUESTING TO MAKE THE DISBURSEMENT TO THE BRAZOS BRAZOS BASH, UM, EVENT.

MOVE OUT ME ON DISCUSS APPROVED MONTHLY REINVESTMENT REPORT.

MOTION MOVE BACK.

COMMISSIONER WAL WITH A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER HALE, ANY OF THE DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR.

MOTION PASSED FIVE OH,

[8.E. Discuss/Approve monthly Investment Report. (Becky McCullough / Judge Deen)]

BECKY.

UM, SO PER PFIA, I HAVE TO HAVE MY INVESTMENT REPORTS, UH, APPROVED QUARTERLY.

UM, MINE ARE SUBMITTED MONTHLY.

SO WE MORE THAN MEET THE CRITERIA OF THE REQUIREMENT PER PFIA.

AND THERE'S A COUPLE TIMES A YEAR THAT I JUST REALLY KIND OF LIKE TO TALK ABOUT THE INVESTMENT STRATEGY THAT I USE.

UM, IT'S THE SAME THING THAT I'VE BEEN DOING SINCE I TOOK OFFICE LAST JANUARY.

SO I BALANCE IT OUT IN INVESTMENT POOLS, UH, INIFY BANKING SYSTEM WITHIN PLAINS CAPITAL BANK, WHICH IS A SYSTEM THAT DISPERSES FUNDS OUT INTO CDS AS WELL AS I LADDER, UM, INVESTMENTS OF

[01:45:01]

TREASURIES AND AGENCIES, UH, THAT ARE BACKED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

SO I'M ABLE TO DO THAT FOR THREE YEARS.

UM, I CAN EXTEND OUT A LADDER FOR THREE YEARS, WHICH I THINK IS REALLY IMPORTANT WHEN YOU LOOK AT, YOU KNOW, WHAT'S RATES GONNA DO.

UM, YOU KNOW, MY CRYSTAL BALL'S REAL FOGGY ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WHAT THEY'RE GONNA SAY, BUT YOU KNOW, WHEN WE STARTED THIS YEAR, THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, SIX RATE CUTS.

WELL OBVIOUSLY THAT'S, YOU KNOW, NOT GONNA HAPPEN.

UM, POSSIBLY, MAYBE WE STILL SEE ONE BY THE END OF THE YEAR.

IT ALL IS GONNA BASE ON WHAT DOES INFLATION DO? UH, WHAT IS THAT NUMBER? THEY'RE NOT GONNA START CUT UNTIL THEY CAN GET, YOU KNOW, KIND OF A BETTER ESTIMATE OF WHAT INFLATION NUMBERS ARE, ARE GONNA DO BY THE END OF THE YEAR.

SO, UM, THE THREE PRINCIPLES OF PFIA INVESTMENT STRATEGY IS YOUR LIQUIDITY, YOUR SAFETY, AND YOUR YIELD.

SO WHAT I DO IS I BALANCE IT OUT BY LOOKING AT CASH FLOW NEEDS PROJECTS, DEBT PAYMENTS THAT HAVE TO BE MADE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ALWAYS HAVE THE LIQUIDITY OF CASH NEEDED FOR THE COUNTY TO FUNCTION AND THEN OBVIOUSLY KEEP IT SAFE.

AND THEN THE YIELD IS THE THIRD THING.

SO WHEREAS YOU LOOK AT INVESTMENT POOLS THAT ARE PAYING 5.5%, IT'S REAL HARD NOT TO JUST STICK EVERYTHING OVER THERE AND GO, YEP, I'M GONNA GET 5.5% ON EVERY SINGLE THING THAT WE GET.

BUT WHAT HAPPENS IS, AND WHAT HAPPENED YEARS AGO, WHENEVER RATES TAINT AND YOU DIDN'T HAVE A LADDER STRATEGY, PROJE LOOKING FOR THE FUTURE, NOW YOU'RE GETTING 0.01 ON COUNTY DOLLARS.

SO WE HAVE OVER $200 MILLION THAT I MANAGE IN AN INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO.

SO I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR NOW, BUT AS WELL AS THREE YEARS FROM NOW.

SO, YOU KNOW, I HAVE STRATEGIES THAT EVERY SINGLE FISCAL YEAR I BREAK IT DOWN TO WHERE I KNOW REGARDLESS OF INTEREST PAYMENTS, MY INVESTMENTS IN TREASURIES AND AGENCIES ARE GONNA BRING IN ANOTHER MILLION DOLLARS.

THEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT ANOTHER COUPLE MILLION DOLLARS IN, IN INTEREST PAYMENTS AS WELL AS THOSE MONIES.

AND THEN THE MONIES FROM THE POOLS, UM, AND THE CD SYSTEM THROUGH THE BANK.

SO PART OF MY INVESTMENT REPORT, I DO BREAK DOWN, UM, EVERYTHING THAT, ALL THE DOLLARS THAT I HAVE IN THE DIFFERENT, UH, INVESTMENTS THAT I CHOOSE.

I ALSO HAVE STARTED PROVIDING AND I TWEAKED MY INVESTMENT REPORT KIND OF MONTHLY TRYING TO BE A LITTLE BIT MORE TRANSPARENT FOR EVERYONE.

UM, IT IS ATTACHED TO THE AGENDA SO HOPEFULLY YOU'D HAVE A COPY OF IT.

BUT, UM, FOR OUR INTEREST FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR SO FAR, THAT HAS BEEN DEPOSITED INTO POOLED CASH, I'M SITTING AT FOUR POINT, ALMOST $4.25 MILLION THAT WE MADE IN INTEREST.

SO I ALWAYS LIKE TO TALK ABOUT THIS, THIS TIME OF YEAR AS WE'RE GETTING READY TO TALK ABOUT BUDGET SO WE CAN REALLY KIND OF LOOK AT INVESTMENT INTEREST RIGHT NOW AS A REVENUE.

WHAT WASN'T THE CASE A FEW YEARS AGO, ESPECIALLY DURING COVID.

SO COMPARED TO LAST YEAR, WE'RE UP ABOUT $890,000 IN INTEREST AND OBVIOUSLY WE STILL HAVE A FEW MONTHS TO GO BEFORE I BELIEVE WE START SEEING RATE CUTS IF WE SEE ONE AT ALL.

BUT THAT'S JUST MY OPINION.

SO ANYWAY, I ALSO PUT A COPY OF MY LADDER STRATEGY IN THERE SO YOU CAN KIND OF SEE THE CAPITAL, UM, UH, AMOUNTS THAT WE WILL RECEIVE WHENEVER THESE THINGS MATURE.

I ALWAYS BUY EVERYTHING AT A DISCOUNT.

I DON'T EVER PAY PREMIUM FOR ANY DOLLARS, SO, YOU KNOW, IF I MAYBE BUY A MILLION DOLLARS TREASURY, I MAYBE ONLY PAID $900,000 FOR IT.

SO NOT ONLY ARE WE RECEIVED THAT A HUNDRED THOUSAND BACK WHENEVER THAT AGENT, WHENEVER THAT INVESTMENT MATURES, WE'LL ALSO RECEIVE SEMI-ANNUAL COUPON PAYMENTS UNTIL THE MATURITY AS WELL.

ANY QUESTIONS? OKAY, JOHN, WE NEED A MOTION ON THIS.

WE'RE LOOKING AT WHAT, FOUR, FOUR POINT A PERCENT YOU THINK THIS YEAR? KINDA THE WAY IT'S TRACKING ON THE RETURN ON THAT 200 MILLION OVERALL? YEAH, PROBABLY MAY.

IF NOT, IT MAY BE A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN THAT.

I MEAN THE POOLS RIGHT NOW I'M GETTING FIVE AND A HALF, UM, THROUGH THE BANK ENTERPRISE SYSTEM I'M GETTING OR THE COUNTY NOT ME, UM, IS, I BELIEVE IT'S 5.15.

AND THEN THROUGH THE TREASURIES AND AGENCIES, IT JUST KIND OF DEPENDS MONTH TO MONTH, UH, DEPENDING ON HOW MANY I HAVE MATURITY.

SOME MONTHS IT'S BETTER THAN OTHERS BECAUSE IF WE HAVE DEBT PAYMENTS COMING UP, I TEND TO HAVE A LOT MORE MONEY MATURE.

SO I HAVE THE OPTION TO PULL FROM THAT AS WELL BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, I ALWAYS SAY THAT MONEY IS THE MONEY THAT I CONSTANTLY TRY TO PUT TO WORK BECAUSE NO MATTER WHAT THEY DO WITH RATES, IF IT'S IN A NON CALLABLE INVESTMENT, WE'RE GONNA GET THAT MONEY BACK.

WHEREAS THE POOLS, YEAH, FIVE AND A HALF LOOK GREAT, BUT AS SOON AS RATES STARTS DROPPING, THOSE ARE GONNA BE THE FIRST THING TO DROP AS WELL.

ALRIGHT.

YOU'RE DOING A GOOD JOB.

WE APPRECIATE YOU.

WELL, THANK YOU.

OKAY, I NEED A MOTION ON THIS ITEM MOTION I MOVE TO APPROVE THE OFF THE INVESTMENT REPORT MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN, THE SECOND BY COMMISSIONER CONLEY.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? MOTION PASSES.

WELL THANK YOU BECKY.

DISCUSS TECH ACTION AND TO ADD HILLTOP SECURITIES TO PARKER COUNTY VENDOR LIST FOR INVESTMENTS.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

THE NEXT ONE'S ME TOO.

[8.F. Discuss/Take action to add Hilltop Securities to Parker County Vendor List for Investments. (Becky McCullough / Judge Deen)]

MOVE DOWN TO ITEM F ON

[01:50:01]

BECKY? YES.

SO I REVIEWED OUR, UM, MY AUTHORIZED BROKER DEALER LIST AND, UM, I DID REMOVE SOME ON HERE THAT WE NO LONGER DO BUSINESS WITH, BUT WHAT I NEED COURT APPROVAL IS, IS TO ADD HILLTOP SECURITIES TO MY BROKER DEALER LIST.

AND THIS IS SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE I'M, I'M NOT THERE YET, BUT I'M GETTING REALLY CLOSE TO ASKING FOR THEIR ASSISTANCE TO BUY CERTAIN TYPE OF INVESTMENTS AND THE, THE INVESTMENT, IT'S CALLED A SLUG AND SO HADN'T BEEN HEARD OF FOR A WHILE, KIND OF OLD SCHOOL.

SO ALL OF A SUDDEN THESE LAST COUPLE MONTHS, THIS KEEPS GETTING, I KEEP HEARING THIS TERM AND I JUST CAME BACK FROM AN INVESTMENT CONFERENCE WHERE IT WAS REALLY HEAVILY TALKED ABOUT AND IT'S SPECIFICALLY TALKING ABOUT THE ARBITRAGE REBATES THAT SOME COUNTIES ARE BEING HIT WITH AND WE ARE BEING HIT WITH OURS.

UM, WHENEVER YOU, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE BOND DEBT FROM, YOU KNOW, YOUR PAST, YOUR THREE YEAR THRESHOLD AND NOW MAYBE YOU STILL HAVE SOME, SOME MONEY SITTING THERE AND NOW WE'RE ACTUALLY HAVING TO PAY BACK INTEREST.

SO THESE ARE ACTUALLY INVESTMENTS THAT I WOULD DO STRAIGHT THROUGH THE TREASURY.

UM, IT'S BASED ON A 30 DAY T BILL.

SO AS LONG AS RATES STAY FLAT, THE INTEREST RATE'S ABOUT 4.19.

BUT THE THING ABOUT THIS INVESTMENT IS IT IS EXEMPT FROM ARBITRAGE.

SO WHAT I CAN DO IS PULL OUT THE BOND MONEY THAT'S STILL LEFT THAT WE'RE HAVING TO PAY THAT REBATE OR PAY THE AMOUNT ON FOR NEXT YEAR AND HOPEFULLY BE ABLE TO KEEP THAT MONEY OR MORE OF THAT MONEY INSTEAD OF PAYING IT OUT.

H, CONSIDER ACCEPTING PURCHASE THE RADIO TOWER AND BUILDING LOCATED AT 1733 SOUTH STEWART AZEL, TEXAS 7 6 0 2 OH FOR THE SUM OF $10 FOR USE WITH PARKER COUNTY OWNED RADIO EQUIPMENT COUNSELOR.

DO YOU, WE WILL TAKE NO ACTION ON THE NEXT TWO ITEMS. OKAY, THAT'S WHAT I WAS GONNA SAY.

WE, YEAH, IF IT DOESN'T MEET THE STANDARDS, I MEAN WE CAN'T BUY IT, SO, OKAY, THEN UNDERWRITE AM I WILL TAKE NO ACTION AS WELL.

[8.J. Consider/Approve declaring salvage and donating a 2010 mobile kitchen to the American Red Cross. (Sean Hughes / Judge Deen)]

TEXAS TO JAY CONSIDER APPROVED DECLARING SALVAGE AND DONATED A 2010 MOBILE KITCHEN TO THE AMERICAN RED CROSS.

THIS IS THE MOBILE KITCHEN THAT WAS PURCHASED UNDER CRI FUNDS BACK IN 2010, IS WHAT WAS INFORMED TO ME.

IT'S NEVER BEEN USED AS JUST SITTING IN STORAGE.

AMERICAN RED CROSS COULD USE IT FOR REHAB USAGE BECAUSE IT'S GOT A STOVE, REFRIGERATOR AND OTHER THINGS IN IT AND THEY'RE WILLING TO TAKE IT IF IT'S DONATED.

MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER HOLT, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? MOTION PASSES.

L, DISCUSS, TAKE ACTION ON RETURN OF FUNDS FROM PRECINCT TWO BUDGET DUE TO PRIOR CALLING OF ROAD BONDS FROM A DEVELOPER COMMISSIONER HOLT.

OH JUDGE, I'M JUST ASKING A QUESTION.

EIGHT B, THE WILLOW PARK ISSUE.

DID YOU, ARE WE PASSING THAT FOR A A REASON? UH, WE TOOK NO, I WAS ASKED.

THERE WAS NO ACTION WAS GONNA BE TAKEN ON THAT ITEM.

ITEM K, DISCUSS TAKE ACTION ON RADIO PROJECT WITH MOTOR.

WE'VE DONE THAT ONE DIDN'T SCRATCH AT ALL.

ITEM

[8.L. Discuss/Take action on return of funds from Precinct 2 budget due to prior calling of road bonds from a developer. (Commissioner Holt)]

BRIANNA, DO YOU WANNA GIVE US A QUICK JUST OUTLINE FOR THE COURT ON HOW WE GOT TO HERE? SO BACK IN, IT WAS, LET'S SEE, IN JUNE OF 2023, AND AGAIN IN SEPTEMBER OF 2023, THERE WERE, UM, FUNDS IN THE ESCROW ROAD BONDS THAT, UM, WERE CALLED.

AND SO, UM, MY OFFICE RECEIVED THE, UM, FOR PAYMENT TO PAY, UM, THE PRECINCT FOR THAT.

SO NORMALLY WHAT OCCURS IS, YOU KNOW, ONCE THEY'VE BEEN CALLED THE PRECINCT DOES THE WORK, THEN THOSE REQUESTS FOR PAYMENTS ARE PROCESSED, UM, TO REIMBURSE THE PRECINCT FOR THE WORK.

AND SO WE RECEIVED THEM, WE THOUGHT THAT HAD OCCURRED, BUT THEN SUBSEQUENTLY, UM, FOUND OUT THAT THE WORK HAD NOT BEEN, HAD NOT OCCURRED AND THEREFORE ALL THOSE FUNDS ARE SITTING IN PRECINCT TWO.

UM, WE DID RETURN, I BELIEVE AT THE LAST COURT THERE WAS THE APPROVAL TO, UM, FOR IT WAS $23,838 AND 22 CENTS TO GO BACK TO THE DEVELOPER ON THE, UM, CONSTRUCTION PORTION OF IT.

AND SO WE DID FUND THAT.

HOWEVER, WE NEED TO MOVE ALL THOSE FUNDS, UM, THAT WERE MOVED INTO PRECINCT TWO'S BUDGET BACK INTO THE ROAD ESCROW FUND UNTIL ADDITIONAL, YOU KNOW, ACTION IS TAKEN.

AND SO THE TOTAL OF THAT IS $133,080 AND 57 CENTS.

BASICALLY, WE,

[01:55:01]

WE CALLED A DEVELOPER'S BONDS BECAUSE THE WORK WAS NOT DONE.

AND SO WE CALLED THE BONDS, THE DEVELOPER INITIATED LEGAL ACTION AND JOHN, PLEASE CUT ME OFF IF I SAY SOMETHING I SHOULDN'T, I'M PRETTY GOOD AT DOING THAT.

UH, WE CALLED BONDS DEVELOPER INITIATED LEGAL ACTION THAT PUT US ON HOLD WHERE WE COULDN'T THEN ACTUALLY DO THE WORK.

IN THE MEANTIME, THE BUDGET YEAR FLIPS OVER.

I'VE GOT THE MONEY IN THE PRECINCT TO BUDGET ALREADY FROM WHEN WE CALLED THE BONDS.

NOW I'VE GOTTA GIVE THE MONEY BACK.

IT'S COMING OUTTA MY ROAD IN CONSTRUCTION CURRENT ACCOUNT, WHICH IS FINE AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW THAT WE NEED TO TAKE ANY ACTION.

I WOULD PUT IT ON THE AGENDA SIMPLY SO THAT IF AND WHEN THIS HAPPENS AGAIN, UM, WE KIND OF SET THE PRECEDENT OF HOW WE HANDLE THIS, THAT THAT'S SPECIFIC TO EACH PRECINCT, WHICH IS THE WAY IT SHOULD BE HANDLED IN MY OPINION, COUNSEL.

AND SO WHAT I'LL BE DOING IS I WILL BE BOOKING A JOURNAL ENTRY TO MOVE THOSE FUNDS INTERNALLY.

HOWEVER, I THINK WE'VE TALKED ABOUT GOING FORWARD BECAUSE WHEN WE RECEIVE THE INFORMATION, YOU KNOW, THERE'S AN AGENDA ITEM BEHIND IT, BUT UM, YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT SOMETIMES SPECIFIC.

UM, IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, IN THE MINUTES IT'LL SAY APPROVED.

AND SO WE HAD REQUESTED, YOU KNOW, FOR THE WORDING TO BE VERY SPECIFIC SO WE'RE, WE'RE AWARE.

'CAUSE WHEN WE PROCESS IT, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE ALL THAT BEHIND IT, IT'S BEING REQUESTED.

SO FROM OUR STANDPOINT IT LOOKED GOOD.

HOWEVER, IT, IT WAS NOT.

AND, AND WE'RE GONNA WORK, UM, WE'RE WORKING ON A CHECKLIST AND SCHEDULING AND WE'LL WORK WITH YOU AS WELL, JACOB.

WELL, WE'RE DOING SOME RESEARCH.

CURRENTLY HAVE A DRAFT CURRENTLY WASN'T PREPARED FOR TODAY.

SO ONCE WE GET THAT COMPLETED, WE'LL GET WITH ALL THE COMMISSIONERS, ACTUALLY PUT IT BACK ON COURT TO KIND OF WALK THROUGH THOSE STEPS.

MOVE TO ITEM IN ON RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS COMMITTEE TO CHANGE THE CURRENT RULES AND REGULATIONS TO APPROVE THE ADDITION OF REQUIRING 120 FOOT DRIVE DRIVEABLE SERVICE AREA FOR CUL-DE-SAC AND SUBDIVISIONS FOR SCHOOL BUS TURNAROUNDS.

SO WE'LL TAKE NO ACTION ON THIS.

[8.M. Recommendations from the Subdivision Regulation Committee to change the current Rules and Regulations to approve the addition of requiring a 120-foot drive-able service area for cul-de-sacs in subdivisions for school bus turnarounds and take any action the court deems necessary. (Commissioner Holt)]

AND TAKE ANY ACTION THE COURT DEEMS NECESSARY TO COMMISSIONER HOL SO MET WITH, UM, THE WEATHERFORD ISD SUPERINTENDENT HERE RECENTLY, BASED OFF OF FEEDBACK THAT WE ACTUALLY HEARD FROM SOMEONE IN COURT A COUPLE OF SESSIONS AGO THAT HAD TO DO WITH KIDS HAVING TO WALK PRETTY FAR IN A NEIGHBORHOOD WITH A KNOWN CHILD OFFENDER, UM, ON THE REGISTRY BECAUSE THERE WAS NOWHERE INSIDE OF THAT SUBDIVISION FOR A BUS TO TURN AROUND.

SO WE WENT AND WE REVIEWED THE LOCATION.

AND THE PROBLEM IS THAT UNDER THE CURRENT REQUIREMENTS THAT WE HAVE, IF PEOPLE IN A CUL-DE-SAC PARK THEIR VEHICLES ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, WHICH PER A PRIOR INCIDENT I HAD ASKED, UH, JOHN HERE, THEY, THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO DO THAT, ESPECIALLY IF THEY PARK SOMETHING LONGER LIKE A TRAILER UNDER OUR CURRENT CUL-DE-SAC REQUIREMENTS.

THAT SCHOOL BUS WILL NOT HAVE ENOUGH ROOM TO GET ALL THE WAY AROUND.

SO MET ON SITE WITH DR. REESE MET ON SITE WITH HIS TRANSPORTATION DIRECTOR AND TALKED ABOUT THIS IN THE SUBDIVISION REGULATION COMMITTEE.

AND SO WHAT WE ARE ASKING IS, AS I UNDERSTAND IT, AND JAMIE FEEL FREE TO CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT BASICALLY EACH NEW SUBDIVISION THAT GOES IN HAVE AT LEAST ONE CUL-DE-SAC THAT HAS 120 FOOT OF DRIVABLE SURFACE, SO THAT EVEN IF FOLKS PARK THEIR VEHICLE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, THAT SCHOOL BUS STILL HAS A SPOT TO TURN AROUND.

THE REASON THAT'S IMPORTANT IS IN THIS PARTICULAR INCIDENT, UM, THE SCHOOL BUS WAS HAVING TO PARK ON THE MAIN THOROUGHFARE THAT WAS VERY BUSY AND KIDS WERE WALKING FROM THE ENTIRE SUBDIVISION UP TO THE MAIN, UH, THE MAIN ROAD, WHICH, UH, PROBABLY ISN'T REAL GOOD FROM A SAFETY STANDPOINT.

SO THAT'S THE RECOMMENDATION.

THAT'S THE MOTION.

YOU HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER HOLT.

DO WE HAVE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND IT TO GET TO THE DISCUSSION PHASE.

WE'RE WE NOW ARE IN THE DISCUSSION PHASE.

WELL, I THOUGHT THERE WAS A CURRENT MINIMUM IN PLACE ALREADY.

IS THEY'RE NOT, THE CURRENT MINIMUM IS A HUNDRED FOOT, A HUNDRED FOOT.

IF, IF YOU GET SOMEBODY, AND WE ACTUALLY IN PRECINCT TWO HAVE SOMEONE WHO DELIBERATELY PARKS A LARGE TRAILER.

UNDERSTAND ON THE SIDE.

I UNDERSTAND.

YES, SIR.

BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT THE SCHOOL BUS TURNED AROUND THERE.

THAT IMPEDES THE ABILITY SOMETIMES IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS FOR THAT SCHOOL BUS TO BE ABLE TO OPERATE PROPERLY.

'CAUSE SCHOOL BUSES AREN'T GONNA DO K TURNS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

THEY'RE JUST NOT GOING TO, UM, SO THE REQUIREMENT JUST FOR ONE CUL-DE-SAC WOULD BE GO UP TO 120 FOOT OF DRIVABLE SURFACE.

THAT WAY IF SOMEBODY PARKS VEHICLES ON THE SIDE OF THE STREET, THE SCHOOL BUS CAN STILL MAKE THE TURNAROUND.

I THOUGHT COUNSELOR, I THOUGHT PEOPLE WEREN'T ALLOWED TO PARK OUT ON THE COUNTY ROAD.

THEY CAN PARK ON THE SHOULDER, NOT ON THE, ON THE ROAD.

SO THEY KIND OF GET ON THE SHOULDER AREA.

PARK EVEN ON THE ROAD AS LONG AS THEY'RE NOT IMPEDING.

SO NOT ALL THE ROAD IN NEIGHBORHOODS.

IT'S, IT'S JUST LIKE ANY NEIGHBORHOOD YOU DRIVE THROUGH MORNINGSTAR, THEY'RE PARKED ON THE ROAD.

AND SO IF IT'S A MAIN THOROUGHFARE, NO, BUT IT'S, THIS IS BACK IN THE INTERIOR ROAD THAT COULD PARK ON THE PARK ON THE SHOULDER, BUT NOT ON THE ROAD.

WELL, THEY, THEY MIGHT BE ABLE TO

[02:00:01]

BUT YOU KNOW, BASED LIKE ON A NEIGHBORHOOD, YOU SEE THAT ALL THE TIME.

WELL, YOU SEE IT IN THE CITIES ALL THE TIME, BUT I MEAN, THEY'RE STARTING TO DO IT OUT IN THE COUNTY, BUT, WELL, THESE ARE BACK IN SUBDIVISIONS, RIGHT? MM-HMM.

IT'S NOT, IT'S NOT ON A COUNTY ROAD AS LONG AS THEY'RE NOT PARKED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD IMPEDING TRAFFIC.

SO I'VE BEEN TELLING THEM THEY CAN'T PARK OUT THERE.

THEY PARK ON A SHOULDER.

IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE THEY'RE IMPEDING TRAFFIC.

TRAFFIC IN THIS SITUATION.

YEAH, THEY'RE ALL, THEY COULD BE.

ANOTHER POINT, I, I'M, I'M DON'T KNOW WHERE IT CURRENTLY SAYS, BUT PREVIOUSLY, UH, SCHOOL BUS WASN'T ALLOWED.

I MEAN, THE KIDS HAD TO WALK CERTAIN DISTANCE OUT INSTEAD OF GOING PICKING 'EM UP DOOR TO DOOR.

IT MAY BE A SITUATION WHERE IT'S A, YOU KNOW, SPECIAL NEEDS STUDENT WHERE THEY GO DOOR TO DOOR.

IN THAT CASE, TYPICALLY THEY USE A SMALLER BUS.

BUT I'M NOT PICKING APART THE, THE DEAL.

I'M JUST SAYING THERE MIGHT BE SOME MORE FACTORS IN THERE TOO.

GIVEN THE NATURE OF THIS SUBDIVISION, THE SCHOOL BUS COULDN'T GO INTO THE SUBDIVISION AT ALL.

YEAH, THERE NOWHERE FOR IT TO TURN.

WAS IT AS MUCH AS A MILE DEEP? UH, WAS IT A MILE OFF THE MAIN ROAD THAT THE KIDS HAD TO WALK? BECAUSE THAT WAS THE, I THINK IT'S ABOUT 0.8 OF A MILE.

BUT THE PROBLEM IS IN THIS PARTICULAR SUBDIVISION, THERE'S A PERSON ON THE REGISTRY.

, WHO LIVES THREE HOUSES DOWN FROM THE MAIN SPOT.

SO IF KIDS DO WALK, THEY'RE WALKING RIGHT BY THAT HOUSE.

WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM? THIS WAS A COMMEND RECOMMENDATION FROM THAT COMMITTEE.

SO THIS WAS A RECOMMENDATION FROM DR. REESE ON SITE ALONG WITH HIS TRANSPORTATION DIRECTOR, AND I FORGET THAT GENTLEMAN'S NAME, ALONG WITH, UM, THEN FEEDBACK FROM THE FIRE MARSHAL BASED OFF OF GETTING AN ENGINE TURNED AROUND, ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF, WHICH THEY DON'T HAVE THE SAME LIMITATIONS THE SCHOOL BUS DOES, BUT THIS WAS A PRETTY EASY RECOMMENDATION FROM THE COMMITTEE AS A WHOLE.

ANY OF THE DISCUSSION.

I, SO WE'RE GONNA MAKE A SUBDIVISION HAVE ONE THAT THE BUS CAN TURN AROUND IN, BECAUSE SOUNDS TO ME LIKE WE'RE NOT MAKING PEOPLE GET OFF THE ROAD.

WE'RE ALLOWING PEOPLE TO PARK ON THE SIDE OF THE, THE ROAD.

I WAS, I WAS TOLD BY THE COUNTY ATTORNEY, I'M NOT ALLOWED TO MAKE THEM GET OFF THE ROAD BECAUSE THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS COME UP.

I'VE BEEN MAKING 'EM DO IT FOR YEARS.

I DIDN'T, THAT'S MY FAULT FOR ASKING THE COUNTY ATTORNEY .

IF IT'S IT, IT'S IN A MAJOR THOROUGHFARE.

BUT LIKE I SAID, THESE ARE NEIGHBORHOOD ROADS AND BACK IN THOSE INTERIOR ROADS, THEY'RE CALLED NEIGHBORHOOD ROADS.

YOU KNOW, JUST LIKE ANY SUBDIVISION, MORNINGSTAR OR SOME OF THESE OTHERS, YOU DRIVE DOWN THOSE PARTICULAR ROADS.

YOU'RE LUCKY TO GET RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET AND NOT MEET AN ONCOMING CAR.

THEY CAN GET BACK JUST BASED ON THE WIDTH.

SO THIS WOULD BE ON DEVELOPMENTS GOING, GOING FORWARD.

WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO GO RETRO ON THAT.

I WOULDN'T SEE HOW YOU COULD YEAH.

I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE I'M UNDERSTANDING THAT CORRECTLY.

YEAH, AND AGAIN, THIS ISN'T ALL CUL-DE-SACS.

THIS IS AT LEAST ONE CUL-DE-SAC PER NEW SUBDIVISION.

IT JUST GIVES THE ABILITY FOR A LARGER VEHICLE TO TURN AROUND SAFELY.

WELL, FOR NEW, NEW SUBDIVISIONS, IT'S NO PROBLEM FOR THEM TO MAKE ONE THAT BIG.

YEAH, WE'VE HAD SOME ISSUES AS WELL.

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

GOOD ITEM IN ON DISCUSSION ACTION REGARDING SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS COMMITTEE COMMISSIONER WALDEN.

[8.N. Discussion/Action regarding Subdivision Regulations Committee. (Commissioner Walden)]

SO THIS IS MY, UH, AGENDA ITEM AND IT IS, IT IS QUESTION FOR DISCUSSION ABOUT HOW MUCH FURTHER WE'RE GONNA GO ALONG WITH THE SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS SUBCOMMITTEE RATHER THAN THAT COMING TO COURT.

AND, UH, I'VE BEEN ASKED BY NUMEROUS PEOPLE TO, YOU KNOW, THAT THEY WOULD, THEIR, THEIR QUESTION FOR ME IS WHY ARE WE HAVING THAT? WHY DON'T WE JUST, YOU KNOW, SEEING HOW MOST OF THE ISSUES HAVE BEEN COVERED IN THE YEAR OR SO THAT IT'S BEEN GOING ON.

HOW DO WE, WHY DON'T WE JUST BRING THOSE TO COURT NOW? SO THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT, UH, SEVERAL PATRONS AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE AND, AND OTHERS HAVE ASKED.

UH, THEY, THEY FEEL LIKE THAT, UH, GOING FORWARD, THOSE SHOULD JUST COME TO COURT AS A RECOMMENDATION TO COURT, JUST LIKE WE DID WITH THE OTHER ONE THERE.

I, UM, I'LL, I'LL ANSWER THAT JUST 'CAUSE COMMITTEE'S MY IDEA AND I'M ON IT.

UM, I, I HAVE NOT HEARD THAT FEEDBACK FROM A SINGLE PERSON YET, WHICH IS, IS WHAT IT'S, WE ARE ONE OF THE FASTEST GROWING COUNTIES IN THE NATION.

THIS IS A VERY VALUABLE TOOL FOR PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT WHERE YOU CAN GET LOCAL EXPERTS, CIVIL ENGINEERS, BUS DRIVERS, WHOEVER, ALL IN THE SAME ROOM.

IT'S BEEN PROVEN TO WORK.

WE KNOW WE WERE IN A PROBLEM STATE BEFORE WE DID THIS, AND I THINK YOU'VE MADE COMMENTS TO THAT EFFECT THAT WE HADN'T UPDATED IT SUBSTANTIALLY IN MORE THAN 20 YEARS.

AND SO IT HAS ACCOMPLISHED QUITE

[02:05:01]

A BIT OF VALUABLE WORK.

AND I THINK A COUPLE OF COURT SESSIONS AGO, THIS IDEA WAS BROAD OF, HEY, Y'ALL ARE MEETING PRETTY FREQUENTLY.

AND SO WE DECIDED TO GO DOWN TO ONCE A QUARTER AND I THINK ONCE A QUARTER IS A PRETTY DARN GOOD SPOT TO BE.

UM, AND SO ALL THAT TO BE SAID, I'M, I'M NOT QUITE SURE WHY WE WOULD DO AWAY WITH SOMETHING THAT GIVES THE PEOPLE OF THE COUNTY A VALUABLE VOICE.

IT'S BEEN PROVEN TO WORK AND THE ONLY THING IT COSTS IS LITTLE BIT OF TIME ONCE A QUARTER THAT I'M JUST NOT SEEING HOW THAT QUITE MAKES SENSE.

WHEN DID YOU GO TO ONCE A QUARTER, WAS IT YOUR LAST TIME RECOMMEND? YEAH.

THIS, THIS MOST RECENT MEETING IN JUNE WAS OUR FIRST QUARTERLY MEETING.

IT HAD BEEN ABOUT 90 DAYS SINCE THE PRIOR MEETING.

WHAT WAS YOUR ATTENDANCE IN THAT MEETING? UH, OH, I WAS HERE.

IT WAS MORE THAN RIGHT NOW.

NO, I WAS MORE THAN, MORE THAN THIS ROOM.

I MEAN OKAY.

BENCHES WERE PRETTY FULL.

SO WHAT I'M TOLD IS THAT THEY'RE COMING TO PROTECT THEIR INTEREST TO MAKE SURE THAT SOMETHING DOESN'T GET THROUGH.

THAT THEY DIDN'T GET A VOICE THAN SAY, AND THEY'D RATHER COME TO COURT TO DO IT.

WELL, IF DEVELOPERS WANT TO COME PROTECT THEIR INTERESTS, THAT'S FINE, BUT WE ALSO HAVE TO PROTECT, I DIDN'T SAY DEVELOPERS THAT YOU, YOU'RE ADDING WORDS.

I DIDN'T SAY NOT DEVELOP WHOEVER'S, WHOEVER'S COMING TO PROTECT THEIR INTEREST, THAT'S FINE.

BUT WE ALSO NEED TO PROTECT THE INTEREST OF THE FOLKS WHO AREN'T SHOWING UP.

IF THEY DON'T LIKE COMING, THEY DON'T HAVE TO COME.

BUT YOUR EVERYDAY JOE RESIDENT YEAH.

ISN'T GONNA COME TO THAT.

AND SO IT'S OUR JOB TO REPRESENT.

IF YOU START GETTING DOWN TO WHERE YOU ONLY HAVE TWO OR THREE PEOPLE, THEN I, I GOT BETTER THINGS TO DO WITH MY TIME.

IF WE GET DOWN, I CUT IT OFF TWO OR THREE PEOPLE.

BUT THIS ROOM STAYED PRETTY PACKED.

AND SO WE HAD, WE HAD THE MEETING, THEN WE HAVE ONE RECOMMENDATION FROM THERE'S, ARE THERE OTHERS OR ARE THERE OTHERS THAT DID, THERE'S OTHER THINGS WE DISCUSSED LIKE WATER CONSERVATION, LANDSCAPING IDEAS, HOW TO INCENTIVIZE FOLKS TO USE WATER SYSTEMS INSTEAD OF PRIVATE GROUNDWATER WELLS, ET CETERA.

IF YOU'RE IN THIS MEETING AND LET'S SAY THERE'S THIS MANY PEOPLE ARE EVEN MORE, AND YOU POSE TO THEM THE QUESTION ON THEIR, THEIR FEEDBACK OF HOW DO Y'ALL FEEL ABOUT THIS? WOULD YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'D GET AN HONEST ANSWER THAT THEY, WE SEE VALUE IN THIS? WHAT, WHAT WOULD YOU COULD BE, I'VE BEEN TOLD BY THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS THAT THERE'S, HAVE YOU ASKED THAT QUESTION TO THEM BEFORE? MONTY MAGNUS HAS SAID THAT.

RICHARD HEISER SAID THAT JAMIE TIER HAS SAID THAT.

NO, I'M JUST, HAS IT BEEN, SO YOU MOVED FROM MONTHLY TO QUARTERLY AT THE RECOMMENDATION OF THIS COURT? I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY WE'RE DISCUSSING THIS, JUST TO BE REAL HONEST.

THIS IS, THIS IS KIND OF, IT'S A VALUABLE .

IT'S ON HERE.

WE'RE DISCUSSING IT BECAUSE I PLACED IT ON THE AGENDA TO DISCUSS THAT'S FINE.

IS THE ANSWER.

THAT'S FINE.

I MOVED TO GO TO SEMI-ANNUAL MEETINGS FOR, UH, SUB SUBCOMMITTEE.

WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN.

DO WE HAVE A SECOND SEMI-ANNUAL? TWO TIMES A YEAR.

TWICE A YEAR.

WE'RE, WE'RE IN DISCUSSION.

NO, WE'RE NOT.

I'M GONNA SECOND IT SO WE CAN DISCUSSION.

'CAUSE I HAVE A QUESTION HERE.

COMMISSIONER HOLT.

WE'RE IN A QUARTERLY MEETING.

WE JUST APPROVED THAT.

AND SO IN YOUR OPINION, DO YOU FEEL LIKE, I MEAN, YOU, YOU AND I COMMEND YOU FOR DOING THIS BECAUSE IT'S PROVIDED SOME GOOD OUTCOME, UH, SOME GOOD FEEDBACK.

WHEN, IF THIS PASSES OR DOESN'T PASS, WHEN DO YOU SEE OR DO YOU SEE, WHAT IS THE LONG TERM GOAL OF WHERE YOU WANT TO GO? WE'VE ALREADY COMMUNICATED THAT WE'LL HAVE ANOTHER MEETING IN ABOUT 90 DAYS.

WE ARE ONE OF THE TOP 10 FASTEST GROWING COUNTIES IN THE NATION.

WHY WOULD WE WANT TO GO TO SOMETHING AS INFREQUENT AS SEMI-ANNUAL? WELL, YOU'RE THE ONE RUNNING IT, SO EXACTLY.

I'M THE ONE RUNNING IT.

WE SHOULDN'T IT SHOULD BE QUARTERLY.

NO, AND THEY DON'T HAVE TO SHOW UP IF THEY DON'T WANT TO SHOW UP, IN MY OPINION.

BUT WHAT, WHAT IS TO KEEP US FROM BRINGING, I MEAN, THERE'S NOTHING STOPPING US FROM BRINGING SOMETHING TO THE COURT.

LEMME LET ME BACK UP.

THE PROCESS BEFORE THIS COMMITTEE WAS, WAS, UH, CREATED, IF A PROBLEM WAS BROUGHT BY ONE OF OUR CONSTITUENTS, THEN WOULDN'T THE COMMISSIONER BRING THAT TO, TO THE COURT? TO THE COMMISSIONER COURT TO DISCUSS.

AND IF THAT WAS THE PROCESS, ISN'T THAT WE CAN STILL DO THAT NOW.

THE CHALLENGE IS THAT THAT WASN'T FOR WHATEVER REASON, DIDN'T APPEAR TO BE HAPPENING.

WELL, CAN I? 'CAUSE IT WAS VERY, IT HAD BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE THERE WERE ANY SUBSTANTIAL UPDATES YEAH.

TO THE SUBDIVISION.

WE'VE GOT A LOT ON OUR PLATE AS COMMISSIONERS.

WE HAVE A WHOLE LOT ON OUR PLATE.

INTERACTS WITH THE ENGINEERS, THE, THE AMBULANCE DRIVERS, THE FIREFIGHTERS, WHOEVER, WHO SEE THESE THINGS THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT EVERY SINGLE DAY.

AND SO THE PURPOSE OF THIS COMMITTEE IS TO TAKE SOME OF THAT BURDEN OFF OF US AND TO CREATE A SPECIFIC GROUP THAT

[02:10:01]

AND, AND WE, AND I'M NOT CALLING ANYBODY OUT AT ALL, BUT IT WAS VERY CLEAR THAT THERE HAD NOT BEEN ANY DEGREE OF MATCHING OUR GROWTH TO OUR REGULATIONS.

OUR REGULATIONS WERE VERY OUTDATED.

THEY DIDN'T MATCH ONE OF THE FASTEST GROWING COUNTIES IN THE NATION.

AND SO THAT'S WHY I'M VERY HESITANT TO, TO GO BACK TO WHAT WE WERE DOING BEFORE, WHICH WAS NOT WORKING.

THE ONLY THING I SEE WITH THAT, AND I'M, I'M KIND OF GUILTY OF, I DON'T ATTEND THEM.

UH, I KNOW ANOTHER COMMISSIONER DOES.

IF I CAME IN, THEN I WOULD MAKE A QUORUM.

BUT I DID KIND OF SNEAK AROUND AND LISTEN AND, AND TRY TO HEAR FEEDBACK A COUPLE OF TIMES ON THE LAST TIME, SPECIFICALLY.

UH, I THINK ONE, ONE OF THE THINGS COMMISSIONER HELD THAT YOU MIGHT LOSE JUST BY, BY LISTENING TO THIS IS YOU HAVE A SOLE DEDICATED TIME PERIOD WHERE THERE'S PEOPLE HERE THAT CAN EX HAVE THAT DIALOGUE BACK AND FORTH.

WHERE WE MAY NOT HAVE THAT HERE WHERE THERE'S JUST A QUESTION THAT COMES, WE'VE ALWAYS HAD THAT, WE'VE ALWAYS BEEN ABLE TO DO THAT IF IT NEED BE.

BUT THERE NEVER HAS SEEMED TO BE SOMEBODY THAT BROUGHT SOMETHING FORWARD.

IT SEEMS TO BE THAT CREATIVE THOUGHT PROCESS.

AT LEAST THAT'S MY INPUT THAT I, I LISTENED TO, UH, WHERE YOU HAVE A DEDICATED TIME TO ADDRESS THAT, WHERE YOU REALLY DON'T HEAR, AND IT DOESN'T SEEM TO HAVE A HISTORY OF PEOPLE COMING AND DOING THAT, THAT I KNOW OF.

COMMISSIONER CONY, MAYBE YOU WELL KNOW BETTER THAN I DO ON THAT.

I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW.

YOU GET TO FIVE PEOPLE SHOWING UP.

I I'LL HAVE, I'LL HAVE BETTER THINGS TO DO WITH MY TIME THAN SHOW UP WHEN THERE'S FIVE PEOPLE.

ARE WE HAVING, UH, REPRESENTATIVES THAT ARE ON THAT COMMITTEE? UM, ON AVERAGE, HOW MANY ARE WE HAVING AT THESE MEETINGS NOW? OR HOW MANY ARE, ARE MISSING THEM? I WOULD SAY WE'VE ONLY HAD TWO PEOPLE.

MYSELF BEING ONE OF, WELL, I DON'T, NO, I MISSED A REGULAR COMMISSIONER'S COURT WHEN MY MOM PASSED.

I THINK WE'VE HAD ONE COMMITTEE MEMBER TOTAL MISS ONE MEETING TOTAL.

BUT YOU HAVE AN AVERAGE OF 10 OR MORE PEOPLE.

THAT WAS THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS ONLY THAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT.

OH, THIS ROOM IS USUALLY FULL.

CAN WE NOT HAVE A A A JUST KIND OF A STANDING, UH, ITEM ON THE AGENDA, UM, THAT YOU CAN ADDRESS EVERY MONTH? THE OUTCOME OF THE PREVIOUS MEETING.

AND I KNOW THAT'S DOWN THE ROUND DAYS DOWN THE ROAD.

IT WOULDN'T BE EVERY MONTH.

IT'D BE EVERY QUARTER.

AND THEN I THINK THAT'LL ANSWER IT.

THE QUESTION, THAT QUESTION WILL ANSWER ITSELF FROM A PARTICIPATION LEVEL, FROM A STANDPOINT OF JUST THE ENGAGEMENT OF THE, THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY.

BUT I'M JUST THINKING THAT, AND I, I SEE BOTH SIDES OF THIS.

UM, BUT I THINK THAT IF ONCE THERE STARTS BEING A, A DECLINE OF INTEREST IN THIS, AND YOU'RE SITTING IN HERE AND THERE'S TWO PEOPLE, THREE PEOPLE.

I THINK THAT'S WHEN WE HAVE YOUR ANSWER.

I DON'T SEE THE NEED IF WE ONLY HAVE ONE RECOMMENDATION FROM THE, FROM THE QUARTERLY MEETING TO HAVE 'EM MORE THAN TWICE A YEAR.

WE'RE UNTIL THAT HAPPENED, I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW.

I'M JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THIS.

UM, SO ANYWAY, WE HAVE, WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND ON THE TABLE.

IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM THAT NEEDS TO BE BEFORE WE VOTE ON THIS ITEM? I WOULD JUST SAY THAT SEMI-ANNUAL IS FAR TOO INFREQUENT.

WE'RE A VERY FAST GROWING COUNTY.

WE'VE ALREADY TACKLED A NUMBER OF IMPORTANT THINGS.

THIS PROCESS HAS PROVEN TO WORK.

IT'S BEEN PROVEN TO TAKE A LOAD OFF OF COMMISSIONER'S COURT.

AND I DON'T SEE ANY REASON TO CHANGE WHAT WE'RE DOING.

AND, AND FRANKLY, SINCE YOU KNOW, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I'M HEADING UP, I WOULD APPRECIATE THE COURT'S DISCRETION IN LISTENING TO ME ON THAT.

SO THE MOTION NOW IS TO GO FROM QUARTERLY TO ONCE EVERY SIX MONTHS? CORRECT.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS? WELL, I JUST, I JUST SAY THAT I, I APPRECIATE THE WORK.

OBVIOUSLY NOBODY ELSE WANTED TO TAKE THIS ON.

I APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT YOU'VE DONE.

UM, YOU HAVE ONE RECOMMENDATION COMING BACK, AND I HONESTLY, I QUESTION LIKE WHETHER WE CAN, YOU KNOW, IF I WERE HERE AND I WOULD SAY, WELL, YOU JUST HAVE TO HAVE ONE IN THERE AND MOVING FORWARD, THAT'S PROBABLY FINE.

IT ALSO SEEMS THAT IT COULD BE TAKEN CARE OF IN A DIFFERENT MANNER, UH, BY FORCING PEOPLE NOT TO PARK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

AND, AND WE'RE CHANGING THE REGULATION BASED ON THAT.

I, I DON'T KNOW WHAT OTHER, DO WE KNOW WHAT OTHER COUNTIES HAVE DONE? I DON'T KNOW.

I'M JUST, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES I, I FEEL LIKE WE'RE NOT, I, WE'RE MAKING RECOMMENDATIONS TO MAKE RULES AND, UH, I DON'T KNOW THAT THIS IS THE, THE ANSWER WE OBVIOUSLY APPROVED THAT FOR TODAY.

UM, UH, THERE ARE OTHER ISSUES THAT WE HAVE FROM TIME TO TIME, USUALLY THAT WE KNOW WHAT THEY ARE AND BRING THEM UP.

UM,

[02:15:01]

AND THAT'S WHY I MADE THE MOTION NO, NO REFLECTION ON YOU.

I'VE JUST BEEN ASKED BY SEVERAL NUMEROUS PEOPLE WHO ATTEND THE MEETINGS EVERY TIME, UH, JUST SO THAT THEY CAN GET THE INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON.

SO I THINK THAT IT HAS SERVED ITS PURPOSE.

YOU'VE DONE A LOT OF WORK.

WELL, I APPRECIATE HOW MUCH YOU RESPECT THE WORK I'VE DONE.

UM, WE ARE CERTAINLY NOT DONE BECAUSE WE ARE A VERY FAST GROWING COUNTY AND WE NEED TO PROTECT OUR RESIDENTS.

SO THAT'S MY OPINION.

WELL, THIS IS NOT A CITY COUNCIL.

THIS IS COUNTY GOVERNMENT.

AND IT'S, IT'S DIFFERENT.

AND, UM, UH, SO I THINK THAT THERE'S A REASON WHY WE'RE A COUNTY.

UH, AND, AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE, UH, AREAS OF THE COUNTY THAT ARE NOT COVERED BY A CITY OR A TOWNSHIP.

AND IT'S, IT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.

SO THAT'S MY POSITION.

ANY OTHERS? I THINK, I THINK TWICE A YEAR IS ADEQUATE.

SO TWICE A YEAR.

AND IF I HAVE ISSUES, YOU CAN BRING IT UP AT ANY C SCHOOL AND I CAN BRING IT UP ANY TIME.

IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO GO TO THE COMMITTEE, CORRECT? SURE, YEAH.

IT'S AN ADVISORY COMMITTEE ONLY.

THERE'S NO, YEAH, YOU JUST GOTTA GO THROUGH THE COUNSELOR WITH IT, CORRECT.

WELL, FOR CHANGING SUBDIVISION ROADS, WELL, A LOT OF TIMES WE SEE 'EM HERE.

I, I'M, I'M NOT ON THAT COMMITTEE, SO NO, I KNOW.

BUT WE DID DISCUSS THE, THE PARKING ON THE ROADS PRIOR TO THIS.

WE WERE TOLD THAT WAS NOT LEGAL.

WHICH IS, IS IT LEGAL? SORRY.

WE WERE TOLD THAT PROHIBITING THEM FROM PARKING ON THE ROAD.

'CAUSE THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS CAME UP.

THE FIRST TIME IT CAME UP IN PRECINCT TWO, I GOT WITH JOHN AND HE SAID, 'CAUSE THERE WAS A LADY THAT WAS PARKING OUT THERE DELIBERATELY, AND SHE TOLD THE SCHOOL DISTRICT THAT, AND WE DISCUSSED IT WITH HER AND SHE SAID, NO, I'M GONNA DO THAT AND I DON'T CARE.

AND I TALKED TO JOHN AND JOHN SAID, THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO.

SO THAT'S WHY WE NEED TO DO, THAT'S WHY WE NEED TO HAVE A MECHANISM LIKE THIS THAT ALLOWS US TO ADDRESS THOSE SITUATIONS.

THIS, THIS WOULD, THIS WOULD BE THE CASE FOR ANY OF YOU.

UH, BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE MY OFFICE, MY STAFF IS, IS HERE TO SUPPORT THE COURT AND, AND SUPPORT YOU INDIVIDUALLY IN YOUR RESPECTIVE PRECINCTS.

UM, I I THINK WE HAVE TO KEEP IN MIND THAT WE HAVE A COMMISSIONER THAT HAS STARTED SOMETHING HAS BEEN PRODUCTIVE.

UH, HIS RECOMMENDATION IS THAT WE, AT LEAST FOR THE, FOR THE, THE PERIOD NOW IS TO CONTINUE ON A WHAT HAS NOW BEEN EXPANDED TO A QUARTERLY.

HIS RECOMMENDATION IS BASED ON THE FEEDBACK.

AND, UH, I THINK WE CAN SPLIT HAIRS ON THIS ALL DAY LONG WITH YEAH.

YOU KNOW, UM, WE HAVE BIGGER THERE.

THERE'S JUDGE, I'M GONNA WITHDRAW MY MOTION.

WE'LL TAKE CARE OF THAT.

RIGHT NOW.

WE, AND, AND, AND, AND, AND I, I THINK THIS WILL, WILL ADDRESS ITSELF IN THE FUTURE AS WE GO FORWARD.

I THINK, I THINK RIGHT NOW, JUST I WOULD BE THIS WAY WITH ANY OF YOU THAT, UH, SOMETHING YOU'RE PUTTING THE WORK IN AND DOING THIS AND YOUR RECOMMENDATION IS TO, CAN YOU, THAT'S JUST MY INPUT ON THAT.

UH, LET'S MOVE TO ITEM O ON TRUGREEN.

THE MOTION HAS BEEN WITHDRAWN.

[8.O. TruGreen, Inc. Service Agreement. (Kim Rivas / Judge Deen)]

THE, EXCUSE ME.

TRUGREEN INCORPORATED SERVICE AGREEMENT.

KIM, SORRY TO MAKE YOU WAIT.

THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

SO, REQUESTING AUTHORIZATION FOR THE COUNTY JUDGE TO EXECUTE THE TRUE GREEN COMMERCIAL SERVICES AGREEMENT.

THIS WOULD BE FOR FERTILIZER APPLICATIONS IN ALL THE COUNTY, UM, BUILDINGS, UM, MULTIPLE TIMES A YEAR FOR A TOTAL OF 14,000 2 75, 28.

YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT PEST CONTROL, RIGHT? FERTILIZER, WEED CONTROL, WEED CONTROLLER, WEED CONTROL, LAWN SERVICES.

LAWN SERVICES.

I DIDN'T KNOW WE DID LAWNS.

WELL, I GUESS THE ANNEX AND STUFF, THIS IS FOR ALL THE COUNTY PROPERTIES EXCEPT FOR THE PRECINCT BARNS AND THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT TO PUT PRE-EMERGENT FERTILIZER, TIMELY DEAL.

UH, I USE THEM ON MY OWN PERSONAL PROPERTY AND MY YARD HAS IMPROVED GREATLY SINCE THEN.

SO, AND WE GET ALWAYS TIMELY.

IT'S GOTTA BE ON A TIMELY DEAL AND WE DON'T ALWAYS GET THERE FOR VARIOUS REASONS, BUT IT'S MOSTLY FOR YARDS THAT HAVE SPRINKLER SYSTEMS. YES.

NEED TO COME UP A WAY TO QUIT SPRINKLING LIKE THEY DO IN ARIZONA AND PLACES.

IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE.

IT IS NOT NOW.

NO.

UNDERSTAND.

IT'S FOR WEED CONTROL.

FERTILIZER, NOT MOWING.

NOT MOWING.

NO, NOT MOWING.

NOT TO MAKE THE GRASS LOOK PRETTY.

JUST TO KILL THE WEED.

MAKE IT LOOK GREEN.

AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET MORE RAIN AND WE'LL HAVE TO USE THE SPRINKLERS.

UH, I DON'T THINK THEY CAN CONTROL DALLAS GRASS THOUGH.

MAYBE NOT.

I JUST HOPE THEY CONTROL GRASS BURNS AND MINE HAVE BEEN PROVED, BUT THEY'RE STILL, IT TAKES ABOUT THREE TO FIVE YEARS BEFORE YOU CAN GET RID OF ALL THE GRASS BURS.

BUT EVENTUALLY WE

[02:20:01]

IS THAT CORRECT, MR. WALDEN? SO WE CONSERVE WATER ZERO ZERO STAKE LANDSCAPES, BUT RIGHT NOW WE'RE NOT GONNA WORRY ABOUT THAT.

THIS IS ON THE BY BOARD CONTRACT 7 26 DASH 24.

HAVE WE DONE THIS BEFORE? NO.

THE MOTION'S BEEN MADE BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN.

UH, I'M GONNA SECOND THAT.

IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM? ALL IN FAVOR? A MOTION PASSES FOUR TO ONE.

[9. ACCEPT INTO THE MINUTES]

ANOTHER PROJECT THAT WE RECENTLY FINISHED WAS, UM, A RENOVATION OF STATION 54, WHICH IS AT HIGHWAY 1886 AND SEVEN 30.

AND IS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF INTERLOCAL COOPERATION AND SOME VALUE TO THE TAXPAYER IN THAT, UH, THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT IS NOW LEASING SPACE TO PUT AN AMBULANCE IN THERE FROM US.

THEY WERE LOOKING FOR LAND TO BUILD AN AMBULANCE STATION THERE, AND WE SAID, HEY, WHY DON'T WE REDO SOME THINGS AND, AND MAKE SOME ROOM IN HERE.

AND THAT SAVED EVERYONE, UH, MONEY AND ENHANCE SERVICES TO THE COMMUNITY UP THERE.

SO, UM, THAT'S JUST SOME OF THE PROJECTS THAT WE'VE HAD GOING ON.

AND WE'RE, RIGHT NOW, WE'RE IN THE HIRING PROCESS FOR 10 ADDITIONAL FIREFIGHTERS TO STAFF THE, THE VILLE STATION, UM, AROUND THE CLOCK.

AND, UH, WE HAVE A CURRENTLY HAVE A LETTER OF INTENT FROM THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT ONCE THAT STATION'S COMPLETE TO ALSO ADD AN AMBULANCE IN THE VILLE COMMUNITY.

SO, AND NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT YOU ESTABLISHED, WHAT IS I I SAY IS THE, THE BEGINNING OF WHAT WILL BE THE FUTURE REGIONAL DISPATCH OF THIS COUNTY WITH THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT.
