WE'RE

[5.A. Discuss/Take action on engineering design and management services contract for FM 730 Extension. (Chris Bosco / Commissioner Holt)]

ON ITEM EIGHT FIVE A CHRIS ON THE DISCUSSION.

TAKE ACTION AND ENGINEERING DESIGN MANAGEMENT SERVICES CONTRACT FOR FM SEVEN 30 EXTENSION.

SORRY TO THROW YOU AT THE MIC SO FAST.

OH, NO, NO, NO.

THAT'S GOOD.

WE HAVE, UH, FOUR ITEMS TODAY.

LEMME GET THIS PLUGGED IN.

AND FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE HERE ON THE, UH, SETTING THE TAX RATE, I DO INTEND TO TRY TO MOVE THAT UP IN THE AGENDA.

WE'RE JUST WAITING ON SOME PAPERWORK TO BE PRINTED AND KIND OF GETTING SOME THINGS TOGETHER BEFORE.

SO, UH, WE'LL GET TO THAT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

I KNOW THAT'S WHY A LOT OF Y'ALL ARE HERE.

UM, THE, THE FIRST ITEM HERE IS THE PRELIMINARY, UH, DESIGN FOR, UH, FM SEVEN 30.

UH, JUST AS A REMINDER, UM, THE, WE HAD A SELECTION COMMITTEE SELECTED HALF AN ASSOCIATES, UH, UH, TO DO THE DESIGN OF THIS PROJECT.

UH, THE SCOPE HERE IS THE PRELIMINARY DESIGN SERVICES.

I'LL KIND OF, UH, SCAN HERE.

YOU CAN SEE IN, IN THOSE SERVICES.

THIS IS THE, THE FIRST STAGE WHEN DOING A OC PROJECT IN TERMS OF ALL THE DATA COLLECTION, THE DIFFERENT DEGREES OF STUDIES LIKE DRAINAGE STUDIES, TRAFFIC STUDIES, UH, AND THEN DOING THE SCHEMATIC DESIGN AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL AND PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT FOR THE PROJECT.

UH, AND SO THE, THE SUMMARY OF THOSE SERVICES, UH, IS A TOTAL OF 1,736,100.

UH, IN ADDITION, WE HAVE, UH, THE SERVICES FOR, UH, FREEZING NICHOLS, DOING THE MANAGEMENT OF HALF AN ASSOCIATES.

AND SO OUR ROLE IN IT WOULD BE REVIEWING THEIR DOCUMENTS, UM, OF COURSE REVIEWING INVOICES.

UH, WE CONTINUE TO WORK ON LIKE THE FUNDING SIDE.

UH, AND THEN, UH, GOING, ATTENDING THE MEETINGS WITH HALF AND TECH STOCK ON THE REVIEW MEETINGS.

UH, SO THE COST OF THOSE SERVICES IS 128,000, UH, 600.

UH, AND SO THIS, I'LL SHOW YOU THIS EXHIBIT.

UH, THIS IS THE ONE THAT, UH, WE SHARED IN THE ORIGINAL RFP THAT, UH, HALF PROPOSED ON ONE OF THE CORE ELEMENTS OF THEIR SCOPE IS TO WORK THROUGH, UH, WHAT IS THE BEST ALIGNMENT THAT WILL BE PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT ASSOCIATED WITH THAT.

UH, LOOKING AT THE TECHNICAL ASPECTS AS WELL AS THAT INPUT FROM THE PUBLIC ON, UH, THE DIFFERENT ALIGNMENT OPTIONS.

UH, IT COULD BE EVEN SLIGHT VARIATIONS FROM THIS, THESE ALIGNMENTS AS THEY, YOU KNOW, LOOK AT THE BEST ROUTE, UH, FROM 180 TO I 20.

UH, A LOT OF COLLABORATION WITH TECH STOCK, AS Y'ALL ARE AWARE, TECH STOCK'S DOING IMPROVEMENTS TO I 20 AS A SEPARATE PROJECT.

THEY ALSO HAVE ANOTHER PROJECT FOR SEVEN 30 GOING NORTH.

AND SO ON EITHER END OF HALF'S PROJECT, THERE'LL BE A LOT OF COORDINATION WITH WHAT THAT ULTIMATE PROJECT'S GONNA BE FOR TECH STOCK ON EITHER END.

UH, THE OTHER THING TO CLARIFY, UH, WITH THIS, THE COUNTY LEADS THE DESIGN ON THESE PROJECTS, BUT, UM, FEDERAL FUNDS ARE USED TO FUND THESE PROJECTS.

SO EVERYTHING'S DONE IN THE CONTEXT OF WHAT'S REQUIRED FOR FEDERAL FUNDS.

AND, UH, TECH STOCK IS THE REVIEW AUTHORITY FOR ANYTHING THAT, UH, HALF PRODUCES HERE.

UH, SO WITH, UH, COURT APPROVAL TODAY, UH, WOULD BE APPROVING OF A CONTRACT WITH HALF FOR 1,736,100.

THAT'D BE A A NOT TO EXCEED MAX FEE FOR THOSE SERVICES.

AND THEN, UH, CONTRACT WITH FRIES AND NICHOLS FOR 1 28 600.

UH, THE TOTAL OF THE TWO CONTRACTS WOULD BE 1 MILLION, UM, 864,700, UH, FOR COMPLETING THE PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING FOR FM SEVEN 30.

IS THAT WHERE THOSE NUMBERS ARE EXPECTED TO COME IN AT? UH, YES, SIR.

THIS, THIS IS UNDER THE BUDGET THAT WE HAD PLANNED.

THE, THE GREAT THINGS ABOUT THIS SPECIFIC PROJECT, COG HAS ALREADY PROVIDED 12.5 MILLION FOR CONSTRUCTION.

THEY WOULD ASK FOR MOTION, THEN MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER HOLT.

UH, MR. WALDEN HAS MADE THE SECOND ANY DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM? JUST, JUST A CLARIFICATION.

AS, AS WE'VE TALKED ABOUT, FOR THOSE THAT MAY NOT BE AWARE, THIS IS PROBABLY A PROJECT WHERE WE'RE PROVIDING THE ENGINEERING AND THE DESIGN WORK.

AND THEN WHO'S GONNA PAY FOR CONSTRUCTION, UH, UH, TECH STOCK.

SO IT'D EITHER BE A COMBINATION OF FEDERAL OR STATE FUNDS.

UM, SO ONE OF

[00:10:01]

THAT, THAT'S ABOUT HALF OF WHAT WE FEEL LIKE'S NEEDED.

UH, BUT AS, UH, HALF GETS INTO IT, OBVIOUSLY THE ALIGNMENT THAT'S SELECTED WILL IMPACT THE COST.

BUT ONCE THAT, UH, FINAL COST IS ESTABLISHED OR A NEW COST BASED ON THE DESIGN, WE'LL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH COG AND TECH STOCK FOR THE ADDITIONAL FUNDS IN ORDER TO BUILD IT EVERY TIME THIS COMES UP.

SOMEBODY ASKS ABOUT THE MALT SHOP.

UH, YES, SIR.

AND THAT, THAT'S A KEY ELEMENT THAT , UH, ONE OF THE, AND AND HALF IS VERY AWARE OF THAT EVEN WHEN THEY PRESENTED, UH, TO THE COMMITTEE, THEY NOTED THAT CONCERN.

UH, ONE OF THE, THE GREAT THINGS ABOUT WHERE SEVEN 30 KIND OF COMES INTO 180 AT A SKEW AND IT REALLY LENDS ITSELF TO MISS THE MALT SHOP.

IF YOU TRUED UP THAT INTERSECTION, YOU WOULD BE JUST TO THE WEST .

SO I'M JUST SAYING YES, THAT'S WHAT THEY ASK EVERY TIME I EVERY MEETING YOU'VE BEEN TO SOMEBODY ASKED THAT QUESTION.

SO I WANT TO COVER IT WITH THIS GROUP HERE.

SO YEAH, FORGET THE GROWTH, FORGET EVERYTHING ELSE.

JUST DON'T HIT THE MALL SHOP HALF MAYOR OR MAY NOT HAVE GOTTEN EXTRA CREDIT FOR ANSWERING THAT QUESTION THE RIGHT WAY.

UM, JEFF, I KNOW YOU'RE BACK THERE.

WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER.

HOLD A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN HAS STATED, UH, IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM? ALL IN FAVOR.

CARRIED FIVE.

OH, OKAY.

WHILE YOU'RE THERE,

[5.B. Discuss/Take action on engineering design and management services contract for FM 1187 Widening. (Chris Bosco / Commissioner Hale)]

WE'RE GONNA GO TO YOU NEXT.

UH, WE'RE GONNA GO TO ITEM B ON DISCUSS, TAKE ACTION ON ENGINEERING DESIGN AND MANAGEMENT SERVICES CONTRACT FOR FM 1187 WIDENING CHRIS.

UM, YEAH, SO THIS IS, UH, SIMILAR TO SEVEN 30.

UM, THE, THE COUNTY DID A SOLICITATION AND SELECTED, UH, TEGNA PERKINS, UH, FOR THIS PROJECT.

UM, IT'S, UH, EXTENSION OF 1187.

I'M GONNA JUMP TO THE EXHIBIT TO KIND OF LET Y'ALL SEE THE LIMITS.

UH, SO IT'S THE EXTENSION OF, UH, OR WIDENING OF 1187 FROM, UH, FM FIVE TO ALITO ANA ROAD.

UM, THIS IS ABOUT 2.4 MILES.

UH, JUST TO MAKE YOU AWARE, UH, THE, THE PORT, THERE'S THE PORTION COURSE IN THE DOWNTOWN ALITO THAT WAS DONE WITH A PREVIOUS BOND.

UH, AND THEN WE'RE WORKING WITH TECH STOCK ON THE PIECE FROM DOWNTOWN TWO F AND FIVE.

SO THIS WILL KIND OF CONTINUE IT ON, UH, ONTO ALITO ON A ROAD AND REALLY KIND OF MATCH UP WITH A LOT OF DEVELOPMENT THAT IS IN THIS AREA OF THE COUNTY.

UH, THIS WAS A PROJECT THAT THE TECH STOCK WAS ALREADY WORKING ON A SAFETY IMPROVEMENT.

UH, BUT THE WORK TEGNA, UH, WILL DO HERE.

WE'LL BE IN COLLABORATION WITH TECH STOCK SIMILAR TO SEVEN 30.

THE, UH, THE SCOPE FOR THIS PROJECT IS FOR THE PRELIMINARY DESIGN.

I'LL KIND OF ZOOM IN TO EACH OF THE DIFFERENT ELEMENTS HERE.

BUT, UH, SAME KIND OF COMPONENTS.

WE'RE LOOKING OF COURSE, ALL THE DATA COLLECTION, TRAFFIC STUDIES, DRAINAGE STUDIES, DOING THE SCHEMATIC DESIGN, AND THEN THE ENVIRONMENTAL AND, UH, PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT, UH, FOR THIS PROJECT.

UH, THIS PROJECT HAS ALSO BEEN FUNDED, UH, BY COG.

UH, SO THIS ONE HAS ABOUT $24 MILLION THAT'S BEEN ALLOCATED FOR CONSTRUCTION.

UH, THE ONG PERKINS, UH, FEE IS 2 MILLION, UH, 100,000.

UH, EVEN THOUGH THERE'S SIMILAR SCOPES, UH, JUST IN REFERENCE, THE SEVEN 30 PROJECT IS ABOUT A MILE IN LENGTH.

IT'S ABOUT 2, 4, 4 MILES.

SO SLIGHT DIFFERENCE IN SIZE OF THE PROJECTS.

UH, SAME KIND OF SCOPE ON FREEZING NICHOLS IN, EVEN THOUGH THE, THE SIZE OF THE PROJECT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT, THE, THE KIND OF REVIEW COORDINATION EFFORT IS EFFECTIVELY THE, THE SAME THAT WOULD BE INVOLVED WITH, UH, SEVEN 30.

UH, SO THE, THE FEE THERE IS, UH, 128,600.

UH, BOTH FEES ARE NOT TO EXCEED MAXIMUM, UH, FOR A TOTAL, UH, AMOUNT OF 2,228,600, UH, FOR THE 1187 WIDENING PROJECT.

I THINK THESE ARE BOTH EXAMPLES OF, OF HOW WE TAKE THE BOND MONEY THAT WE HAVE AND DO THE PRELIMINARY WORK, UH, AND LEVERAGE THAT WITH MONEY THAT TEXDOT WILL PUT IN.

AND WE CAN GET FROM FEDERAL, FROM FROM COG TWO, RIGHT.

UH, TO GET THESE CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS DONE.

IT KEEPS THEM FROM BEING PUSHED DOWN THE ROAD.

THEY MAY HAVE BEEN ON THEIR CALENDAR ALREADY TO DO, BUT IT, IT, IT FORCES THEIR HAND AND MAKES THEM DO THEM IN A, IN A TIMELY FASHION, RATHER THAN SAYING, WELL, SOMETHING ELSE CAME ALONG THAT'S MORE IMPORTANT.

AND WE RUN OVER HERE.

SO THESE, BY US PUTTING IN THIS

[00:15:01]

MONEY AND DOING THE PRELIMINARY WORK, WE GET IT READY SO THAT IT IS ON THEIR CALENDAR, ON THEIR SCHEDULE, AND IT GETS DONE IN TIME.

AND TO THAT POINT ON GETTING READY, THAT'S EVERYTHING.

BECAUSE THEY WILL MOVE THAT MONEY AWAY FROM THE REGION.

IF WE HAVE A SHOVEL READY PROJECT, IT'S READY TO GO.

'CAUSE THEY WANNA SPEND THAT MONEY, RIGHT? AND SO BY GETTING THESE AND ACCELERATE, WHICH WE'VE DONE A GREAT JOB, AND I COMMEND YOU AND THE OTHER ENGINEERING FIRMS, AND WHICH IS REALLY UNPRECEDENTED COOPERATION AND COLLABORATION WITH YOUR, ESSENTIALLY YOUR COMPETITORS TO WORK AND MANAGE THAT.

UH, BECAUSE YOU, I MEAN, I DON'T THINK FREEZING NICKLES COULD DO ALL THESE PROJECTS IN THE NEXT 20 YEARS IF IT WOULD TAKE A LONG TIME.

SO MANAGING THIS WITH ALL THESE ENGINEERING FIRMS AND LEVERAGING THIS FOR THOSE MATCHING FUNDS, WHICH IS REALLY A CRITICAL THING.

I COMMEND YOU FOR THAT.

THAT THAT'S GREAT.

WE'RE GETTING, WE'RE MOVING QUICKLY ON THESE PROJECTS.

JUST TO REINFORCE WHAT JUDGE HIS COMMENT, THAT'S HOW WE GOT THE FUNDING FOR THIS.

BECAUSE SOMEBODY ELSE WASN'T READY.

SO WE WERE ABLE TO GET, YOU WANNA SAY THAT AGAIN ON THIS SECTION? HOW MUCH? THIS ONE IS 24 MILLION.

SO THEY, THEY REALLOCATED 24 MILLION TO PARKER COUNTY.

'CAUSE WE WERE READY.

SO I JUST WANT TO THAT WASN'T ON YOUR BACKS.

EMPHASIZE THE VALUE THERE.

SO I JUST WANTED TO MAKE THAT COMMENT.

AND THAT'S A TRIBUTE TO, TO YOUR FIRM CHRIS, AND THE LEADERSHIP THAT FREEZER NICHOLS IS PROVIDING.

AND I COMMEND YOU FOR THAT.

AND WORKING WITH MIKE MORRIS, UH, WORKING WITH, WITH REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION COUNCIL'S VIRTUALLY, WE'VE ALMOST BROUGHT UP EVERY MEETING OF WHAT PARKER COUNTY IS DOING.

SO WE'RE GETTING A LOT OF GOOD ATTENTION THAT OTHERS ARE FOLLOWING AS WELL.

SO I THINK THAT'S GREAT.

ONE OTHER COMMENT IN CASE SOMEBODY'S NOT AWARE, THIS MONEY THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SPENDING IS MONEY FROM THE TRANSPORTATION BOND THAT WAS VOTER APPROVED IN 2023 TO MAKE THESE THINGS HAPPEN.

SO THAT'S WHERE THE MONEY'S COMING FROM.

CHRIS, DISCUSS, TAKE ACTION ON ENGINEERING, DESIGN AND MANAGEMENT SERVICES FOR KELLY ROAD.

MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER HALE WITH A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR I.

CURIOUS C

[5.C. Discuss/Take action on engineering design and management services contract for Kelly Road Improvements. (Chris Bosco / Commissioner Hale)]

UH, YEAH.

SO THIS IS, UH, THE PORTION OF KELLY ROAD FROM, UH, BEAR CREEK, UH, PARKWAY OR BEAR CREEK ROAD, UH, 2 3 77.

UH, SO THIS WAS ANOTHER, UH, PROJECT IN THE BOND PROGRAM, UH, AND IT WAS REALLY KIND OF DRIVEN BY A LOT OF DEVELOPMENT IN THAT AREA.

AND, UH, THE NEED TO IMPROVE, UH, THAT SECTION OF ROADWAY, UH, INCLUDING THE, THE INTERSECTION THERE AS, AS, UH, KELLY GOES INTO 3 77.

UH, WHERE THIS ONE DIFFERS A LITTLE BIT FROM THE TWO YOU JUST HEARD, IS, UH, THIS IS A LOCAL PROJECT, SO IT IS, UH, ENTIRELY FUNDED BY THE BOND PROGRAM.

UH, THIS SCOPE ACTUALLY TAKES IT FULLY TO CONSTRUCTION.

UH, SO WE'RE NOT NEEDING TO DO THAT KIND OF SCHEMATIC PHASE THAT, THAT WE DO ON THE ON SYSTEM PROJECTS, UH, SENSE OF URGENCY, GIVEN THAT ALL THE, THE, UH, DEVELOPMENT THAT'S HAPPENED IN THE AREA.

WE, WE WANNA, YOU KNOW, GET THIS PROJECT, UH, MOVING FORWARD.

UH, WE HAVE ALREADY SURVEYED IT IN A PREVIOUS AUTHORIZATION WHEN WE WERE SURVEYING MULTIPLE PROJECTS.

THIS WAS ONE OF THE ONES THAT WE'VE DONE THE SURVEY ON.

UH, WE HAVEN'T DONE THE SUE, SO WE INCLUDED, UH, THE UTILITIES, UH, IN THIS ONE AND THEN GEOTECHNICAL, UH, AS WELL AS THE DESIGN SERVICES.

UH, SO THE, UH, DESIGN FEE, UH, FOR THIS PROJECT IS 316,730.

UH, ONE THING THAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT THIS, UH, IS WE'RE LOOKING TO, UM, PRECINCT FOUR, COMMISSIONER HALE HAS SOME ADDITIONAL ARPA FUNDS REMAINING.

UH, THIS PROJECT IS IN THE 23 BOND PROGRAM.

SO THE REQUEST WITH YOUR APPROVAL TODAY WOULD BE TO ALLOCATE THE ARPA FUNDS, UH, SINCE THOSE ARE TIME SENSITIVE TO THIS PROJECT.

BUT TO TAKE THE, THAT AMOUNT OF MONEY AND MOVE IT TO PRECINCT FOUR, UH, DISCRETIONARY FUNDS SO THAT THOSE FUNDS STAY IN PRECINCT FOUR.

BUT WE'RE ABLE TO USE THOSE ARPA FUNDS FOR THIS, RIGHT.

AND, UH, AND THEN ALLOCATE THESE FUNDS TO ANOTHER PROJECT IN THE FUTURE.

ITEM D DISCUSSED TAKE ACTION ON CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT WITH ELVIS CREEK SUBDIVISION PAVING IMPROVEMENTS.

WE HAVE A MOTION ALREADY ON COMMISSIONER HALE MAKING THAT MOTION.

IT WAS SECOND BY COMMISSIONER CONY.

IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM? ALL IN FAVOR, CARRIE FIVE OH.

[5.D. Discuss/Take action on construction contract for Ellis Creek subdivision paving improvements. (Chris Bosco / Commissioner Holt)]

CHRIS, UM, THIS PROJECT IS, UH, A PROJECT, UH, WITH PRECINCT TWO AND COMMISSIONER HOLT.

UH, IT WAS, UM, REALLY, UH, YOU COULD THINK OF TWO ELEMENTS TO IT.

UM, SO ONE ELEMENT IS IMPROVING THE ROADS IN THE ELLIS CREEK SUBDIVISION.

UH, AND A DIFFERENT ONE, WHICH YOU'LL SEE THERE.

THE ADD ALTERNATE, UH, WAS AN ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENT TO THE ZION HILL LOOP AT 24 21.

[00:20:01]

UH, IT'S A SAFETY CONCERN THERE, AND SO WE'RE GONNA BE IMPROVING THE ALIGNMENT OF THE COUNTY ROAD THERE AND ELEVATING, UH, THE APPROACH INTO, UH, 24 21.

UH, SO THE, THE BASE BID FOR THE ELLIS CREEK SUBDIVISION CONSTRUCTION, UH, IS 800 AND, UH, 804,040.

UH, THE ADDITIONAL ADD ALTERNATE FOR THE INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENT WAS 119,730.

UH, SO WITH APPROVAL TODAY, THERE WOULD BE A TOTAL AMOUNT TOWARDS CONSTRUCTION OF 923,000, UH, 770.

UM, THIS, UH, WAS A PROJECT THAT WAS, UH, ADDED INTO THE BOND PROGRAM.

SO THE FUNDING FOR THIS WOULD BE, UH, FROM PRECINCT TO DISCRETIONARY FUNDS, UH, THAT WOULD BE ALLOCATED TOWARDS, UH, CONSTRUCTING THESE TWO, UH, PROJECTS.

GONNA JUMP DOWN TO ITEM SEVEN C ON APPROVED PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH TYLER TECHNOLOGIES IN RELATION TO DISCOVERY PORTAL WITH NICE JUSTICE.

CHRIS, WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER HOLT WITH A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER HALE.

WE'RE IN THE DISCUSSION PHASE.

ANY OTHER COMMENT YOU WANT TO ADD TO THIS? ANY COMMENTS? NO, I, I, I THINK IT'S A GREAT PROJECT.

I MEAN, TO BE ABLE TO COUPLE THE SAFETY IMPROVEMENT AND THE PA ME IMPROVEMENTS NEEDED, UH, REALLY, YOU KNOW, IS A GOOD USE OF DISCRETIONARY FUNDS.

[7.C. Approve professional services agreement with Tyler Technologies in relation to discovery portal with NICE Justice. (Jeff Swain / Judge Deen)]

UH, HAVE JEFF SWAIN, OUR DISTRICT ATTORNEY HERE TO GET OVER HERE.

THANK YOU FOR, UH, REACHING ME SO QUICKLY.

UM, SO A FEW WEEKS AGO Y'ALL MET WITH, UH, TYLER TECHNOLOGIES WITH US, UH, AND THAT HELPED MOVE THINGS ALONG FROM A POINT WHERE THEY WERE JUST KIND OF STUCK FOR A LITTLE BIT.

SO THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT IS, UH, PART OF THAT.

ESSENTIALLY WE NEED TYLER TO PROVIDE US THE LINKAGE BETWEEN THEIR SOFTWARE AND NICE JUSTICES SOFTWARE.

THIS IS FOR THE DISCOVERY PORTAL FOR OUR OFFICE, THE COUNTY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE, AND JUVENILE PROBATION.

SO THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT IS $3,700, AND I HAVE FUNDS THAT I CAN PAY THAT OUT OF MY CONTRACT SERVICES LINE.

MOTION BE BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER HILL.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? AND IS THAT TO APPROVE ME TO SIGN THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT? CARRIE? FIVE.

OH, SORRY, YES, FOR THE JUDGE.

UM, THIS WEEK I HAVE TWO.

UM, AND THAT'S PROTECTIVE ORDERS THAT ARE GRANTED.

THESE ARE THE ONES THAT ARE GRANTED AS FAR AS THE PEOPLE COMING IN ASKING FOR ORDERS.

SOMETIMES A PROTECTIVE ORDER IS NOT THE FINAL RESPONSE.

AND LIKE I SAID, IT'S NOT ALWAYS THE RIGHT SOLUTION FOR THEIR SITUATION.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN? BUT THERE, THERE WAS A TIME YEARS AGO WHEN THEY DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WE DID THEM.

YOU KNOW, THEY WERE, THERE WERE JUST PEOPLE WANDERING AROUND SAYING, IS THERE ANY HOPE? IS ANYBODY GONNA HELP ME? THE REASON I WAS LATE THIS MORNING IS BECAUSE OF WOMAN CAME IN AND IT'S A CASE I'M QUITE FAMILIAR WITH, BUT THINGS HAPPENED OVER THE WEEKEND AND SHE WAS IN PURE PANIC.

WE A LOT OF MAD PEOPLE IN THE WORLD, HUH? THERE ARE, THERE ARE, THERE ARE E EVEN AT THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL, YOU KNOW, IT'S, IT'S EVERYWHERE.

AND WE HAVE TO WATCH OUT FOR EACH OTHER.

OH, THERE ARE.

AND I, AND I ALWAYS SAY AWARENESS AND GO AHEAD AND ADVOCATING FOR THESE ORGANIZATIONS AND INFORMING THE PUBLIC IS ONE OF OUR BIGGEST RESOURCES BECAUSE IF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THAT THESE RESOURCES ARE AVAILABLE TO THEM, THEY CAN'T USE 'EM.

IF THEY KNOW THAT THEY EXIST, THEY CAN GET OUTTA THESE ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIPS.

AND SO, UH, IF YOU KNOW OF ANYBODY THAT IS IN ONE OF THOSE RELATIONSHIPS, PLEASE SEND 'EM TO THESE RESOURCES.

THERE IS HELP.

WE ALSO SERVE SEX, SEXUAL ASSAULT AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING VICTIMS AS WELL.

[6.A. Update on NCTCOG/RTC Meeting. (Judge Deen)]

GONNA ITEM SIX ON THE, UH, IS REQUESTED BY THE COURT.

UM, WE HAD A REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION MEETING LAST WEEK.

UH, AND AGAIN, CYNTHIA IS THE, WHERE'D SHE GO? THERE SHE IS, UH, IS, HAS BEEN KIND OF REALLOCATED THE RESPONSIBILITY AND COORDINATING WITH OUR TRANSPORTATION PARTNERS, HAS DONE A, JUST A BRILLIANT JOB WITH THIS AND REPRESENTS US ALSO.

AND, AND HER VALUE IN THIS ROLE HAS BEEN INCREDIBLE.

AND I WOULD ASK CYNTHIA, IF YOU WOULD COME UP, UH, JUST TAKE A MINUTE OR TWO JUST TO KIND OF, Y'ALL HAVE THIS PACKET.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS TO PLEASE REACH OUT TO HER OR SEND EMAILS.

AND CYNTHIA, YOU HAVE THE FLOOR.

GOOD MORNING, CYNTHIA.

UM, GOOD MORNING COMMISSIONERS.

THIS IS CYNTHIA , EXCUSE ME.

SO, UM, ON YOUR PACKET, A LOT OF 'EM ARE JUST UPDATES.

AUGUST WAS THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION FOR RTC AND ALL THEY GAVE WAS, UH, MAINLY A LOT OF UPDATES.

UM, ALL THE GOOD THINGS THAT HAVE THAT RTC HAS BROUGHT BACK TO THE REGION.

AND SO I DID PUT ALL THOSE UPDATES ON YOUR PACKET FOR YOU.

BUT WHAT I WANNA FOCUS ON TODAY IS A PROGRAM SLASH GRANT THAT IS BEING OFFERED BY COG AND OR BY RTC.

UM, BASICALLY WHAT IT IS, UM, IT'S CALLED THE WORK ZONE DATA EXCHANGE.

AND THIS WOULD BE A PROGRAM THAT WOULD, UH, BE NO COST TO THE COUNTY WHATSOEVER.

THE MATCH THAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR LOCAL, ACTUALLY, UH, THE CO COG IS USING THEIR TDCS, WHICH IS JUST CREDITS THAT COG CURRENTLY HAS AND IS, UM, ABLE TO USE AS NEEDED FOR CERTAIN PROGRAMS. AND SO I'M TALKING ABOUT THIS LAST, ALMOST TO THE LAST PAGE.

UM, BASICALLY THERE'S A 2.5 MILLION, UM, FUNDS AVAILABLE FOR THIS, BUT THE WESTERN REGION, WHICH WOULD BE US, WOULD ONLY QUALIFY FOR 31%, WHICH WOULD BE $775,000.

AGAIN, THE LOCAL MATCH WOULD BE THE TDCS OFFERED BY THE TRANSPORTATION DEVELOPMENT, UM, COG.

AND, UM, BASICALLY WHAT THIS IS, IT'S BA UH, PUTTING IN, UM, A DATA HUB THAT WOULD PULL ALL OF THE INFORMATION THAT, UH, IS NEEDED FOR US TO START ON ANY TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS.

IT WOULD PULL,

[00:35:01]

UH, SAFETY INFORMATION.

IT WOULD HELP US WITH ANY, UH, GROWTH CONCERNS, UM, THAT WE WOULD BE HAVING, UM, REGARDING TRANSPORTATION.

AND SO I WANTED TO BRING THIS UP TODAY BECAUSE THERE'S ANOTHER ITEM ON THE AGENDA THAT IN ORDER TO QUALIFY FOR THIS PROGRAM OR ANY OTHER PROGRAMS, WE HAVE TO BE PART OF THE TTX SHARES, UM, AND SIGN A LOCAL AGREEMENT WITH COG.

SO I PROVIDED JOHN, UM, FORS WITH THE, UH, LOCAL AGREEMENT AND HE, DO YOU WANNA SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THAT AGREEMENT? AND BASICALLY IT'S A, AN AGREEMENT THAT UTILIZED BY ALL THE ENTITIES THAT PARTICIPATE IN THESE PROGRAMS. SO IT, IT'S PRETTY GENERIC, BUT IT'S SOMETHING THAT, THAT HAS TO BE EXECUTED AND GIVES US A LOT OF BENEFIT FROM BEING PART OF AND IS NO COST TO THE COUNTY.

CORRECT.

AND SO THAT WOULD BE ONE OF THE REQUIREMENTS TO EVEN START LOOKING INTO THIS.

UH, BESIDES OTHER REQUIREMENTS LIKE ATTENDING WORKSHOPS, WHICH I HAVE BEEN ATTENDING, UM, JUST TO START GETTING ALL THE INFORMATION THAT I NEED TO PROVIDE TO COURT BEFORE, UM, JUMPING ON BOARD WITH THIS PROGRAM.

UM, CHRIS IS HERE.

I'VE DISCUSSED A FEW THINGS WITH CHRIS BOSCO ON THIS, UM, AND HOW IT WOULD HELP OUR TRANSPORTATION MOVEMENT HERE.

SO I'LL HAVE CHRIS JUST TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT IT.

UM, YEAH, I THINK THE, YOU KNOW, THE BENEFIT OF THESE PROGRAMS, OBVIOUSLY WE, WE HAVE THE LONG PARTNERSHIP WITH COG AND SO, YOU KNOW, THE DATA BENEFITS THEIR REGIONAL MODEL.

CERTAINLY THAT'S A GOAL FOR THEM AS THEY'RE KIND OF LOOKING AT THE GROWTH IN THE COUNTY, UH, HAVING, YOU KNOW, BETTER DATA.

'CAUSE TYPICALLY THE DATA IS MORE SPORADIC.

YOU KNOW, THEY MIGHT, UH, YOU KNOW, HAVE ACCIDENT DATA.

WE USE THAT A LOT IN OUR ENGINEERING.

UH, BUT, YOU KNOW, ULTIMATELY Y'ALL WOULD BE CONTRACTING WITH A VENDOR TO COLLECT THE DATA.

UH, SO, YOU KNOW, FOLLOWING Y'ALL'S APPROVAL OF THIS AGREEMENT, Y'ALL WOULD ENTERTAIN DIFFERENT VENDORS THAT WOULD BE COLLECTING DATA AROUND ACCIDENTS, TRAFFIC VOLUMES, CONGESTION.

AND REALLY THAT AGREEMENT IS, UH, Y'ALL ESTABLISH THAT Y'ALL ARE KIND OF PASSING THAT DATA THROUGH TO COG FOR THEIR MODELS, BUT IT ALSO SERVES, UH, THE COUNTY AND YOUR OWN THOROUGHFARE PLAN DEVELOPMENT.

UH, YOU KNOW, TECH STOCK HAS THE, THE BIGGER I 20 JOB, WHICH WILL, YOU KNOW, SERVE ANY STUDIES THEY'RE DOING, UH, AS WELL AS THE, THE I 20 IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE'RE DOING.

AND SO IT'S A GOOD PROGRAM IN TERMS OF, UM, KIND OF THAT COLLABORATION.

UH, IT'S NICE THAT IT IS, YOU KNOW, A PROGRAM THAT WHERE THEY'RE NOT LOOKING FOR THE COUNTY'S EFFECTIVELY ADMINISTERING THE COLLECTION OF THE DATA, BUT THERE'S NO ADDITIONAL COST TO Y'ALL.

AND AGAIN, THIS, WE'RE NOT GONNA GO THROUGH ALL THIS, BUT, BUT WHAT I WOULD ASK YOU TO DO IS THOROUGHLY REVIEW THIS AND THEN IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS TO CONTACT CHRIS OR CYNTHIA, UH, BECAUSE, UH, I THINK IT'S, WE AGREE THAT IT'S NEVER BEEN A BUSIER TIME ON THE RTC BECAUSE THERE'S SO MANY ADDITIONAL FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE, WHICH TIES IN REALLY GOOD WITH THE GROUND WRITING POSITION WE JUST APPROVED.

BUT, UM, THERE'S SO MUCH GOING ON HERE IN THIS REGION FROM A TRANSPORTATION STANDPOINT.

UH, IT'S, IT'S REALLY GOOD TO NOTE UPDATE Y'ALL WITH WHAT'S GOING ON AND LET Y'ALL KNOW WHAT WE KNOW AS WE GO TO THESE MEETINGS.

SO THANK YOU AND THANK YOU BOTH FOR, UH, PROVIDING THAT SUPPORT AND, UH, IT'S, IT'S BEEN CRITICAL IN EXECUTING A LOT OF THINGS.

IT'S TRANSLATED INTO MORE MONEY TO PARKER COUNTY ACTUALLY.

SO THANK YOU BOTH.

MOVE TO ITEM SEVEN B ON DISCUSS AUTHORIZED COUNTY JUDGE TO EXECUTE H 400 AGREEMENT FOR REAPPOINTMENT OF LESLIE P CHIP EVANS TO THE LOCAL WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT BOARD FOR A THREE YEAR TERM.

THANK HERE.

WELL, DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THEM WHILE THEY'RE THERE? IF NOT, JUST, UH, NOTIFY THEM AFTERWARDS AND, AND WE WILL UPDATE THAT AND WE'LL GET THOSE ANSWERS OUT TO EVERYONE.

WE'LL

[7.B. Discuss/Authorize the County Judge to execute H-400 agreement for reappointment of Leslie P. "Chip" Evans to the Local Workforce Development Board for a 3-year term. (Laurie Gillispie / Leslie P. "Chip" Evans / Judge Deen)]

UH, WE DO HAVE, UH, CHIP EVANS HERE IF YOU WOULD COME ON OUT, JUDGE.

COMMISSIONER, THANKS FOR THE TIME THIS MORNING.

THANK YOU FOR COMING, .

IT WAS JUST A PLEASURE.

AND, UH, SO I GUESS JUST TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT YOUR EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN AND DO YOU WANT TO SURE.

CONTINUE, CONTINUE TO SERVE.

AND I'VE BEEN A LIFELONG EDUCATOR, UH, PRIMARILY AND CAREER WISE, IT WAS AS AN EDUCATIONAL ADMINISTRATOR, UH, PRINCIPAL IN GRAPEVINE.

COLVILLE, EXCUSE ME.

AND THEN I MOVED OUTTA HERE WHEN WE OPENED THE NEW HIGH SCHOOL TO OPEN THE NEW HIGH SCHOOL AS PRINCIPAL.

UH, THEN I MOVED INTO, UH, THE, UH, AREA OF ADULT EDUCATION AND LITERACY, UH, AS DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY EDUCATION, WHICH COVERS A LOT OF DEPARTMENTS, BUT, UH, LITERACY IS NOT AN ISSUE OF

[00:40:01]

YOUNG OR OLD OR MIDDLE AGED.

IT'S AN ISSUE FOR EVERYONE THAT WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH.

SO I WAS A MEMBER OF THE, UH, PARKER COUNTY ADULT LITERACY COUNCIL, UH, WHICH IS ACTUALLY THE BASIS, I GUESS LAURA WOULD BE THE WAY TO SAY THE, FOR MY APPOINTMENT TO THE BOARD.

UH, WE SUPPORT LITERACY ACTIVITIES HERE IN PARKER COUNTY AND THAT INCLUDES, UH, WE PROVIDE, UH, BOOKS TO CHILDREN, UH, IN TO GARDEN, UH, IN RUTHERFORD, ISD AND FOR THE SUB READ PROGRAM.

UH, AND THEN THE ADULT EDUCATION PROGRAM PROVIDES GED AND UH, ESL CLASSES TO ADULTS SO THAT THEY CAN, UH, THE BOTTOM LINE IS IF YOU CAN'T READ, YOU CAN'T WRITE, YOU'VE GOT A PROBLEM ADVANCING IN OUR COMMUNITY.

AND SO OUR GOAL IS TO ADVANCE PEOPLE THROUGH, UH, THE PROCESS TO WHERE THEY ARE ABLE TO BE FUNCTIONING CITIZENS WITHIN OUR COUNTY.

UH, YOU KNOW, WE, WE'VE LEARNED THAT SO MANY TIMES THE PEOPLE COME IN TO JUST APPLY FOR SERVICES, THEY CAN'T READ THE APPLICATION.

HOW ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO FILL OUT THE PAPERWORK? SO, UH, THAT'S WHAT, UH, OUR CAUSE IS HERE IN PARKER COUNTY.

I'VE SERVED ON THE BOARD FOR THE LAST NINE YEARS.

I'M CURRENTLY ON THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.

I'M CHAIRMAN OF, UH, THE WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE FOR THE BOARD.

AND THAT'S THE REQUEST IS TO CONTINUE THAT PLACEMENT FOR THE NEXT THREE YEARS.

ALRIGHT.

MOTION IS MADE BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN WITH A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER CONLEY.

MOTION CARRIES FIVE.

OH, THANK YOU FOR MUCH WHAT YOU DO, SIR.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, YOU'ALL.

HAVE A GOOD DAY.

F ON ADOPTION OF THE 24 25 FISCAL YEAR BUDGET.

WE WILL MOVE TO ITEM D ON, UM, I TELL YOU WHAT, LET'S DO THIS.

UM, WE'RE GONNA GO AHEAD AND MOVE DOWN TO ON ITEM G SEVEN SEVEN G, ADOPT ORDER TO SET TAX RATES FOR GENERAL FUND M AND O, LATERAL ROAD AND DEBT SERVICE AND FISCAL YEAR 24 25 GO IN ORDER OF THE BUDGET GO E AND OH, MY APOLOGIES.

I JUST THAT I'VE TRIED TO NIP IT A LITTLE BIT SHORTER ON THAT HERE.

WE'LL

[7.E. Set Elected Officials Salaries for Fiscal Year 2025 Budget. (Judge Deen)]

MOVE BACK UP TO ITEM E.

THANK YOU, BROWNA, TO SET ELECTED OFFICIAL SOARIES FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025 BUDGET.

SO I GUESS WHAT WE'RE DOING IS RATIFYING WORK WE'VE ALREADY DONE.

YES, THEY'VE ALREADY BEEN PUBLISHED IN THE PAPER.

ALL THAT KIND OF BUSINESS MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN, THE SECOND BY COMMISSIONER CONLEY.

ANY OF THE DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR, MOTION CARRIES FIVE OH, MOVE TO ITEM

[7.F. Adoption of the 2024-2025 Fiscal Year budget. (Judge Deen)]

WE'VE PREVIOUSLY DISCUSSED.

I HAVE PROVIDED YOU ALL WITH THE FINAL UPDATES OF THE FISCAL YEAR 25 BUDGET.

AND SO THAT'S THE SUMMARY HERE.

UM, I CAN GO THROUGH ALL OF IT OR JUST GO THROUGH, UM, THE TOTAL, THE SUMMARY OF THE CHANGES, UH, FROM THE PROPOSED BUDGET, WHICH IS 13 POINT ALMOST 2 MILLION WITH A REQUIREMENT OF FUND BALANCE OF 8,667,865.

UM, SO IF YOU COMPARE THAT TO THE LAST TIME WE MET, UM, IT'S ABOUT A 45,710 INCREASE.

SO IT ACTUALLY DID NOT INCREASE AS MUCH AS WHAT, UM, WE EXPECTED WHEN THOSE TWO POSITIONS WERE APPROVED.

AND SO JUST AS A REMINDER, THAT WAS THE, UH, DISPATCH POSITION FOR, UH, THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE AND THEN THE, UH, PATROL DEPUTY THAT WAS APPROVED FOR THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE.

UM, AND THEN WE HAD ALSO MOVED, UM, PART OF WHAT WAS OFFSETTING THAT IS WE HAD MOVED THOSE RADIOS TO ARPA.

AND THEN IN LOOKING OVER, UM, OUR FINAL NUMBERS, THERE WERE SOME, UM, F AND RETIREMENT, UM, SHIFTS TO SB 22.

AND SO, UM, FROM THE APPROVALS LAST TIME OF THOSE TWO POSITIONS, IT WOULD BE A NET ABOUT 46, 40 6,000.

AND THEN I'VE PROVIDED YOU, JUST AS I'VE DONE ALONG THE WAY OF HERE IS ALL THE DETAILED, UM, SUMMARY OF CHANGES I'VE HIGHLIGHTED AGAIN, UM, JUST FROM LAST TIME, WHAT, WHAT WOULD'VE CHANGED.

SO YOU CAN SEE ON THIS TOP PORTION ON THE SALARY AND BENEFITS, UM, FROM THE PROPOSED BUDGET, THERE WAS ABOUT ALMOST $3 MILLION OF, UM, SALARY AND BENEFIT CHANGES.

THE LAST TWO, AGAIN, BEING THAT FULL-TIME, UH, PATROL DEPUTY AS WELL AS THE FULL-TIME DISPATCH, UM, POSITION, UH, DEPARTMENTAL OPERATING EXPENSE ADJUST ADJUSTMENTS ABOUT 1.1 MILLION.

UM, THERE WAS NO CHANGES FROM THE LAST TIME WE MET, AND SO YOU COULD SEE ALL OF THOSE, UH, CHANGES AS

[00:45:01]

UM, AND THEN UNDER CAP, NON CAP AND IT ADJUSTMENTS, UH, THERE'S BEEN ABOUT $5.5 MILLION WORTH OF APPROVALS.

AND YOU CAN SEE FROM THE LAST TIME WE MET, UM, CHANGE SWITCHING THOSE 130,459 OF RADIO EQUIPMENT REQUESTS, MOVING THOSE TO BE COVERED BY ARPA FUNDS.

AND THEN UNDER THE NEW EMPLOYEE CAP, NON CAP, UM, AND IT, AGAIN, THAT'S FOR, UH, NEW POSITIONS AND THEIR REQUIREMENTS OF WHAT THEY NEED.

UM, 441,000 4 0 6 AND THEN REVENUE ADJUSTMENTS FROM THE PROPOSED BUDGET, UM, ABOUT 879,000 AND THAT IS OUTSIDE OF THE, UH, CHANGE FOR THE TAX RATE.

SO AGAIN, THAT'S JUST, UH, FOR SB 22 FOR THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE.

UH, REIMBURSEMENT FOR A 9 1 1 RECORDER THAT WAS APPROVED.

UM, THE CHANGE FOR THE ALITO PATROL CONTRACT, WHICH WILL IS ON THE AGENDA TODAY.

UM, AS WELL AS, UH, FUND 57 COVERING THOSE, UH, JP TWO AND THREE RECLASS AND THEN DIFFERENT FEES OF OFFICE AND INTEREST THAT WE, UM, WENT BACK THROUGH AND INCREASED.

SO THIS NEXT PORTION IS THE ROLLOVERS FROM THE CURRENT BUDGET OF ABOUT 1.2 MILLION.

YOU CAN SEE THESE ARE EITHER FROM ITEMS THAT ARE NOT GOING TO BE RECEIVED, UM, PRIOR TO NINE 30 OR ONGOING CAPITAL PROJECT, UM, BUDGETS THAT NEED TO BE ROLLED OVER.

AND THEN AGAIN, UM, WE'VE BUDGETED A CONTINGENCY OF $2 MILLION.

SO IF YOU BRING ALL THOSE TOTAL ADJUSTMENTS, IT'S ABOUT 12 MILLION 3 0 5, AND THEN YOU CAN SEE, UH, PROPERTY TAX REVENUE ADJUSTMENT, UM, AT THE PROPOSED RATE.

UM, THEN THAT BRINGS, AGAIN, THAT ADJUSTED USE OF FUND BALANCE TO 8,667,865 FOR, UH, A TOTAL BUDGET OF 86,582,640 AND JUST AS I PROVIDED LAST TIME AS WELL.

UM, THIS IS JUST BY DEPARTMENT.

YOU CAN SEE WHERE THEIR, UM, BUDGETS ARE FOR THE CURRENT BUDGET.

WE'RE IN FY 24, WHAT THEIR BUDGET WAS FOR THE PROPOSED BUDGET, ANY ADJUSTMENTS OR CHANGES IN APPROVALS THROUGHOUT THE BUDGET PROCESS, AS WELL AS WHAT THAT FINAL BUDGET LOOKS LIKE FOR EACH DEPARTMENT WITHIN FUND 10, AS WELL AS THE PRECINCTS.

AND THEN THIS OTHER SHEET HERE IS ALL OF OUR SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS, WHICH IS ABOUT TWO PAGES OF THOSE.

UM, BRIANNA BEFORE YOU, IS THAT ALL YOU HAVE? YES.

I, I DO HAVE SOME QUESTIONS FOR YOU.

UM, ON SOME LANGUAGE HERE THAT WE'RE GOING TO MOTION FOR, UM, WHICH I'M GOING TO DO, AND AGAIN, YOU AND I TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THIS BEFORE WITH A TAX RATE OF AN OPTION OF THIS IS A, UH, 0.2 9 9 2 3 8, UH, WHICH THE FEEDBACK WE GOT FROM THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT IS A 7.16% INCREASE IN TAX RATE, UH, BY UTILIZING SOME FUNDS FROM OUR, UH, FUND BALANCE.

THAT NUMBER IS, UM, QUESTIONABLE IF YOU WANT.

DIFFERENT, UM, THERE'S LANGUAGE REQUIRED FOR, FOR THE MOTION SETTING THE TAX RATE, UM, AS WELL AS STATEMENT REQUIRED IN THE RESOLUTION SET BY COMMISSIONER'S COURT FOR THAT.

SO LET ME GO THROUGH A COUPLE OF THAT BECAUSE IT, IT'S CONFUSING.

SO, UM, WE ARE GIVING SPECIFIC, UM, IN STATUTE OF WHEN YOU'RE SETTING YOUR BUDGET, YOUR TAX RATE, WHAT YOU HAVE TO PUT IN THE NEWSPAPER FOR, UM, PUBLISHING THOSE PROPOSED TAX RATES, AND THEN BASICALLY MOTION LANGUAGE WHEN YOU'RE ADOPTING THOSE.

AND SOMETIMES IT'S CONFUSING AS TO WHAT THESE PERCENTAGES ARE AND WHERE THEY'RE COMING FROM.

SO JUST WE'LL KIND OF GO THROUGH A LITTLE BIT OF A RECAP OF WHAT WAS PUBLISHED IN THE NEWSPAPER, THANK YOU, AS WELL AS OUR WEBSITE, UM, WHICH WAS THE NOTICE OF THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR OUR TAX INCREASE.

SO THE TOTAL TAX RATE, UM, IF WE COMPARE IT TO LAST YEAR'S BUDGET, IS AN INCREASE ABOUT 4.23%, UM, FOR YOUR AVERAGE HOMESTEAD IS ABOUT AN INCREASE OF 1.43%.

UM, THE TAX ON AN AVERAGE HOMESTEAD AT THE PROPOSED TAX RATE IS $54 70 CENTS OVER, OVER, UM, ANNUALLY.

SO, UM, OVER THE PRIOR YEAR, RIGHT? SO AN AVERAGE HOMESTEAD, UM, AND WE GET THESE NUMBERS FROM THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT JUST PULLING THEIR DATA FROM THE TAX ROLL.

FOR YOUR AVERAGE HOMESTEAD, IT'S 337,844.

SO ON AVERAGE THE INCREASE ANNUALLY FOR ONE OF THOSE TAX PAYERS WOULD BE $54 AND 70 CENTS AT THE PROPOSED TAX RATE RIGHT NOW.

UM, SO THERE'S TWO

[00:50:01]

UM, AND SO IN THE LANGUAGE, I'M JUST GOING TO READ IT, UM, IT'S, I MOVE THAT THE PROPERTY TAX RATE BE INCREASED BY THE ADOPTION OF A TAX RATE OF 0.29923, SORRY, GOT IT UP HERE.

0.2 9 9 2 3 8, WHICH IS EFFECTIVELY A 7.16% INCREASE IN THE TAX RATE.

SO WHAT THAT NUMBER REPRESENTS IS FOR THE LANGUAGE IN THE MOTION, IT'S COMPARING THE PROPOSED TAX RATE TO THE NO NEW REVENUE RATE.

SO THAT'S WHAT THAT IS.

UM, WHICH DOESN'T INCLUDE, AGAIN, IF WE REMEMBER THE NO NEW REVENUE RATE IS THE TAX RATE TO GENERATE THE SAME AMOUNT OF TAXES THE YEAR BEFORE.

YES, THERE IS NEW CONSTRUCTION THAT IS OUTSIDE OF THE NO NEW REVENUE RATE AND AS WE'VE DISCUSSED PREVIOUSLY AT THE NO NEW REVENUE RATE, THAT IS YOUR M AND O, SO YOU'RE OPERATING AS WELL AS YOUR INS, SO YOUR DEBT SERVICE, UM, WHEN YOU DO YOUR CALCULATION OF THE TAX RATES FROM THE NO NEW REVENUE RATE TO THE, UH, VOTER APPROVAL RATE AND THEN THE VOTER APPROVAL RATE WITH THE UNUSED INCREMENTAL RATE, THAT'S WHERE YOU, UM, DO YOUR ADJUSTMENTS FOR THE DEBT SERVICE.

SO AT THE NO NEW REVENUE RATE, IF WE RECALL, IF THE COUNTY ADOPTED THAT, IT'S ACTUALLY A OVER A $2 MILLION DECREASE TO OUR M AND O.

AND THE REASON WHY WE'RE SEEING THAT IS BECAUSE OUR DEBT SERVICE REQUIREMENTS HAVE INCREASED, UM, FROM THE PRIOR YEAR.

AND THAT'S BECAUSE WE, THE VOTER VOTER APPROVED BOND, THERE WAS, THERE WAS A VOTER APPROVED BOND.

AND SO IN THE SPRING OF THIS YEAR, WE UH, DREW DOWN $80 MILLION OF THAT TOTAL AUTHORIZATION OF 130 MILLION.

AND SO NEXT YEAR IS THE FIRST INTEREST PAYMENT ON THAT.

SO THAT'S WHAT THAT RATE IS.

UM, IN THE ACTUAL ORDER THAT SETS THE TAX RATE, UM, THERE'S REQUIRED LANGUAGE, AND I'M JUST GONNA READ THAT LANGUAGE, THIS TAX RATE WILL RAISE MORE, MORE TAXES FOR MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS THAN LAST YEAR'S TAX RATE.

THE TAX RATE WILL EFFECTIVELY BE RAISED BY 1.24% AND WILL RAISE TAXES FOR MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS ON A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS HOME BY APPROXIMATELY.

IT'S ACTUALLY A DECREASE OF $2 AND 36 CENTS PER A HUNDRED THOUSAND.

AND SO WHAT THAT'S COMPARING IS THE PROPOSED M AND O RATE TO THE NO NEW REVENUE M AND O RATE.

IT, IT KIND OF MAKES IT CONFUSING OF EVERYTHING, BUT I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO, TO NOTE THOSE THINGS SO YOU'RE UNDERSTANDING WHERE SOME OF THESE PERCENTAGES ARE COMING FROM.

AND THEN ALSO THE DISTINCTION OF WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT YOUR, AT YOUR M AND O RATE AS WELL AS YOUR DEBT SERVICE RATE.

BECAUSE WHEN YOU LOOK AT A NO NEW REVENUE RATE, THEY ARE JUST PUT TOGETHER AND IT DOESN'T REALLY DISTINGUISH, UM, LIKE I SAID, YOUR INS RATE IF YOU'VE HAD ANY CHANGES.

AND THAT'S WHY WHEN YOU DO A TAX RATE CALCULATION, YOU TAKE THAT NO NEW REVENUE RATE AND ONE OF YOUR ADJUSTMENTS IS, UM, FOR YOUR, FOR YOUR DEBT SERVICE.

OKAY? SO YOU HAVE SUFFICIENT DEBT SERVICE TO COVER THOSE NEEDS.

AND AGAIN, JUST AS A REMINDER, UM, FOR THE DEBT SERVICE RATE THAT WE HAVE ESTABLISHED, WE'VE ACTUALLY USED 750,000 FROM THE FUND BALANCE IN OUR, UM, DEBT SERVICE FUND IN ORDER TO DECREASE THAT RATE TO LOWER THAN WHAT WE OTHERWISE WOULD HAVE TO RIGHT.

WHILE STILL MEETING OUR OBLIGATIONS FOR OUR DEBT SERVICE.

IS THAT WHAT TOOK IT DOWN FROM TWO TO 1.5? IS THAT ACCURATE? UM, I DON'T RECALL THE, THE, THAT INCREMENTAL UNFORTUNATELY.

THAT'S FINE.

IT IT THAT THAT'S NOT, YES.

UM, AND ALSO TOO, THE, THE DEFICIT THAT WE'RE AT THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT, UM, THIS DOES REFLECT ALSO, UH, ON OUR DEFICIT AND IS A WITHDRAWAL OR A, IT'S THE WRONG WORD, IS A ASSISTANCE FROM OUR FUND BALANCE TO HELP US WITH THIS, TO GET US WHERE WE ARE ON THIS.

IS THAT CORRECT? SAY THAT AGAIN, I'M SORRY.

$8.6 MILLION WORTH OF FUND BALANCE.

AND THAT'S, THAT'S WHERE, THAT'S OKAY.

VERY WELL CORRECT.

AND I BEEN ACTUALLY SCARES ME.

I UNDERSTOOD EVERYTHING YOU JUST SAID THEN.

OR ADOPTION OF THE BUDGET, UH, IS AGAIN, UH, WE HAVE, WE'RE A GROWING COUNTY AND WE'VE, UH, APPRECIATE ALL THE FEEDBACK THAT WE GOT FROM OUR PUBLIC HEARING.

UH, IT IS COMPLEX AND I WANT, I I DO WANT TO SAY THAT BEFORE I, I READ OFF, UH, THIS MOTION IS THAT, AND THIS WILL BE THIS, THIS IS, SO WE'RE REQUIRED TO YES, ADOPT THE BUDGET, THEN SET THE TAX RATE BASICALLY TO COVER THAT BUDGET AND WE WILL COVER IT BY EACH SEPARATE PIECE OF THAT TAX RATE AND THEN BASICALLY RATIFY THE PROPERTY TAXES REQUIRED, UM, FOR THAT BUDGET.

AND I DO HAVE A, JUST A BRIEF COMMENT BEFORE WE DO THAT AND MAKE, ASK FOR A MOTION FOR THIS.

FROM THE ADOPTION OF THAT RATE

[00:55:01]

AND, UH, WE'RE A VERY CONSERVATIVE COURT OBVIOUSLY FOR THE PAST FIVE OR SIX YEARS NOW THAT WE HAVE MAINTAINED AN EFFECTIVE RATE.

BUT WHEN YOU'RE THE FIFTH FASTEST FIFTH SIXTH, WE'RE, WE'RE, WE'RE, WE'RE IN THE TOP 10 GROWING COUNTIES IN THE NATION AND, AND THERE'S 254 COUNTIES IN TEXAS ALONE.

AND THAT BRINGS INTO PERSPECTIVE WHAT, WHAT THAT REALLY MEANS IS THE TOP 10 FASTEST GROWING COUNTY IN THE NATION.

AND, UH, WE'RE STILL IN THE BOTTOM 10% OF THE LOWEST TAX RATES.

AND THERE WAS COMMENTS ABOUT, WELL, LET'S, LET'S BE THE LOWEST BY BEING ONE OF THE FASTEST GROWING COUNTIES.

THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO DO.

AND OBVIOUSLY YOU SAW EARLIER WHERE WE'RE FUNDING AND OR ACTUALLY HELPING WITH, UH, SOME OF THE NEEDS OF THIS COUNTY, UH, CORRESPONDINGLY WITH THE, THE GROWTH OF THIS COUNTY BRINGS A CERTAIN ELEMENT THAT WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH WITH SHERIFF AVI AND HIS DEPARTMENT.

WE'VE FUNDED AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO DO THAT, SIR.

UH, BUT WE HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THIS GROWING COUNTY AND THIS COURT HAS DONE EVERYTHING POSSIBLE, UH, EVEN TO WITHDRAW MONIES FROM WHAT I CALL A RAINY DAY FUND OR A FUND BALANCE, IF YOU WILL, TO GET DOWN AS LOW, BUT TO IMPACT YOU BY $54 AND 70 CENTS A YEAR.

I THINK WE'RE STILL IN LINE WITH WHERE CITY OF WEATHERFORD IS AND OTHERS IN MAINTAIN, AS CLOSE AS THAT EFFECTIVE RATE AS WE POSSIBLY CAN.

AND DONE THE VERY BEST JOB THAT THIS COURT AND I COMMEND THEM FOR THE WORK THAT THEY'VE DONE AND AND THE CONSERVATIVE APPROACH THAT THEY'VE GIVEN TO THIS.

AND SO, UH, IS THERE ANYBODY WANT TO SAY ANYTHING BEFORE I ASK FOR A MOTION ON THIS ADOPTION? I WOULD THEN ASK FOR A MOTION ON ITEM F ON THE ADOPTION OF THE 24 20 24, 20 25 FISCAL YEAR BUDGET.

I WOULD ASK FOR A MOTION THEN I AM GONNA MAKE THAT MOTION.

I WOULD ASK FOR A SECOND.

COMMISSIONER CONLEY HAS MADE THE SECOND.

IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM BEFORE WE VOTE? ALL IN FAVOR? MOTION CARRIES FIVE.

MOVE TO ITEM G AND THEN IF YOU'LL READ THIS, JUST SO WE'RE THIS CARRIES WELL I'M GOING ON ITEM G SET IN THE TAX RATE.

SO THIS IS THE NEXT THING, WELL THIS IS ACT FOR THE ADOPTION OF THE BUDGET AND THEN THE NEXT PART WILL BE THE MOTION LANGUAGE FOR THE CASE.

SO I MOVE THAT THE PROPERTY TAX RATE BE INCREASED BY THE ADOPTION OF A TAX RATE OF 0.2 9 9 2 3 8 0 0, WHICH IS EFFECTIVELY A 7.16% INCREASE IN THE TAX RATE.

FURTHER THAT THIS TAX RATE WILL RAISE MORE TAXES FOR MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS THAN LAST YEAR'S TAX RATE.

THIS TAX RATE WILL EFFECTIVELY BE RAISED BY 1.24% AND WILL RAISE TAXES FOR MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS ON A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS HOME BY APPROXIMATELY NEGATIVE $2 AND 36 CENTS.

AND I WOULD ASK FOR THAT MOTION? UH, NO.

SO WE APPROVE THE BUDGET, BUT JUST SO IT'S ON THE RECORD.

DO YOU HAVE THIS ONE? I DON'T THAT AND THEN WE'LL GO TO THE NEXT.

VERY WELL.

I KNEW THAT I WAS JUST TESTING YOU.

OKAY JUDGE, I THINK SHE'S SAYING THAT YOU NEED TO READ SOMETHING.

YOU NEED TO READ THIS FOR THE RECORD.

YOU HAVE THIS ONE.

JUST READ THIS ONE.

I THOUGHT THAT WOULD, OKAY, WELL I SEE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.

YEAH, SORRY.

THANK YOU COMMISSIONER.

THIS YEAR'S TAX LEVY TO FIND MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION EXPENDITURES DOES EXCEED LAST YEAR'S MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS TAX LEVY.

THIS BUDGET WILL RAISE MORE PROPERTY TAXES THAN LAST YEAR'S BUDGET BY $7,142,896 OR 9.9%, 2,587,257 FOR THE GENERAL FUND MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS.

$349,640 FOR THE LATTER ROAD AND BRIDGE FUND AND $4,205,999 FOR DEBT SERVICE OF THAT AMOUNT, 338,306,000 OR 43% IS TAX REVENUE TO BE RAISED FROM NEW PROPERTY ADDED TO THE TAX ROW THIS YEAR.

THE TAX RATE USED IN THIS BUDGET HAS EXCEEDED THE NO NEW REVENUE TAX RATE JUST TO OF THAT AMOUNT OF THE TOTAL INCREASE, IT'S THREE MILLION THREE HUNDRED AND THREE MILLION THREE 38,306 OR 43% IS FOR TAX REVENUE TO BE RAISED FROM NEW PROPERTY ADDED TO THE ROLL THIS YEAR.

I THINK YOU MAY HAVE SAID A MILLION.

[7.G. Adopt order to set tax rates for General Fund (M&O), Lateral Road and Debt Service for fiscal year 2024-2025. (Judge Deen)]

SO MOVE A MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER CONLEY.

UNDER ITEM G, I WANNA ADOPT THE ORDER TO SET TAX RATES FOR GENERAL FUND ROAD IN DEBT SERVICE FISCAL FISCAL YEAR 2024.

2025.

I WOULD ASK FOR A MOTION.

[01:00:02]

WE HAVE A SECOND, I'LL SECOND THE MOTION.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM? YES, I HAVE SOME DISCUSSION.

UH, BRIANNA, JUST IN ROUND NUMBERS, CAN YOU IDENTIFY, AND I THINK I HAVE THE RIGHT NUMBERS HERE, BUT WE TALK ABOUT HOW MUCH GROWTH WE'RE HAVING IN THE COUNTY AND HOW THAT REQUIRED THE NEED FOR A TRANSPORTATION BOND.

IT'S PUTTING STRAIN ON OUR INFRASTRUCTURE, ET CETERA.

AND I'VE HEARD FOLKS SAY, AND I THINK IT'S AN EXCELLENT POINT, THAT THEY'RE MAKING WELL, WITH ALL THAT GROWTH, SHOULDN'T THAT GROWTH PAY FOR THE ADDITIONAL COSTS THAT WE HAVE? UM, BRIANNA, DO YOU, DO YOU RECALL HOW MUCH M AND O ADDITIONAL REVENUE THIS YEAR IS FROM NEW TAXABLE SOURCES? IN OTHER WORDS, NEW HOMES THAT ARE HITTING THE TAX ROLL THIS YEAR? I THINK WE HAVE IT, I HAVE IT AT 1.9 MILLION, BUT I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT I HAVE THAT NUMBER CORRECT.

DOES THAT SOUND ABOUT RIGHT? SOUNDS SLOW.

AND I'M TALKING ABOUT M AND O REVENUE FROM THE NEW TAXABLE.

AND THEN INS $616,079.

SO WE HAVE ABOUT 2.5 MILLION BETWEEN INS DEBT SERVICE AND M AND O, IS THAT CORRECT? THAT ROUGHLY THAT'S CORRECT.

OUR JAIL COSTS INCREASED THIS YEAR, YEAR OVER YEAR, I BELIEVE 0.4, 0.7 MILLION.

AND I BELIEVE OUR BOND COST HIT THAT WAS VOTER APPROVED FROM THE 2023 TRANSPORTATION BOND WAS 2.1 MILLION.

SO IN OTHER WORDS, BETWEEN THE BOND, IT'S ACTUALLY 4.1 MILLION FOR DEBT SERVICE.

YOU'RE RIGHT.

MY BAD.

SO IT'S 4.1 MILLION, IT WAS GOING TO DECREASE THE M AND O BY 2.1, CORRECT? DO I HAVE THAT'S CORRECT.

THAT RIGHT? OKAY, PERFECT.

YES, THAT'S CORRECT.

SO YOU SAID FOUR POINT WHAT? UH, 4,080,535.

SO 4 MILLION ISH.

SO WE HAVE 4 MILLION FROM THE BOND.

WE HAVE 4.7 MILLION FROM THE INCREASED JAIL CO COSTS.

SO WE HAVE ABOUT 8.7 MILLION BOND AND JAIL ALONE.

THAT'S HITTING OUR BUDGET THIS YEAR.

THAT'S CORRECT.

OUR GROWTH CREATED ABOUT 2.5 MILLION.

ONES, SO THAT WAY WE HAVE THE MOTION FOR EACH, EACH PORTION OF THAT TAX RATE.

SO WE HAVE A NET DEFICIT THERE OF ABOUT 6.3 MILLION RIGHT OUT THE GATE, LESS THAN LAST YEAR TO TRY TO MEET OUR OBLIGATIONS THAT THE TEXAS CONSTITUTION AND TEXAS LAWS SAY THAT WE HAVE TO MEET.

ROUGHLY TWO THIRDS OF OUR SPENDING IS ON LAW ENFORCEMENT AND THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM.

SO TWO THIRDS OF OUR COUNTY BUDGET IS TO KEEP OUR CITIZENS SAFE.

I THOUGHT THAT WAS INFORMATION THAT NEEDED TO BE POINTED OUT AS WE TALK ABOUT THESE TAX RATES.

I THINK THAT'S A GOOD POINT, COMMISSIONER, AND THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT UP.

I WILL ALSO ADD AS WE CAN ENTER THE FINAL STAGES OF THIS BUDGET APPROVAL AS WE GO INTO THE NEXT BUDGET, IT IS NOT SUSTAINABLE THAT WE CONTINUE TO HIT FUND BALANCE THE WAY WE ARE AND CONTINUE TO BE THE CONSERVATIVE GROUP THAT WE ARE AND CONSERVATIVE COURT THAT YOU ARE.

UH, BUT IT IS NOT SUSTAINABLE TO CONTINUE TO TAKE THAT AMOUNT OF MONEY OUT OF FUND BALANCE EVERY SINGLE YEAR.

WE NEED TO KEEP THAT IN MIND AS WE GO FORWARD.

ANY OTHER COMMENTS? I JUST WANNA KNOW WHAT THE CURRENT MOTION IS.

JUST, I I WOULD ACTUALLY READ, WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR.

THAT'S, THAT'S THIS MADE AND A SECONDED, BUT I'M NOT, I'M NOT CLEAR WHERE IT IS.

IT'S NOT THE ADOPTION OF THE BUDGET, IS IT? NO, WE'VE ALREADY ADOPTED THE BUDGET.

WE'VE DONE THAT.

SO NOW, UM, NOW WE'RE GOING THROUGH THE MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONAL M AND O, SO, RIGHT, WHICH IS THE SAME THING AS WHAT I HAVE HERE, I BELIEVE, ISN'T IT? YOU GOTTA READ THIS.

YES, YES.

THAT, THAT'S THE SAME THING.

AND THEN IN THE ORDER, CORRECT, I MOVE THAT THE PROPERTY TAX RATE BE INCREASED BY THE ADOPTION OF TAX RATE OF 0.2 9 9 2 3 8 0 0, WHICH IS EFFECTIVELY BY 7.6% INCREASE IN THE TAX RATE.

UH, THE PARKER COUNTY IN GENERAL AND LADDER ROAD ADOPTION TAX RATE WILL RAISE MORE THAN TAXES FOR MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS THAN LAST YEAR'S TAX RATE.

THE TAX RATE WILL EFFECT BE RAISED BY A HUNDRED, 1.24% WILL RAISE TAXES FOR MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS ON A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS HOME BY APPROXIMATELY NEGATIVE 2, 3, 6.

WE'VE DONE THAT BUDGET.

WE'VE READ THIS.

IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I NEED TO READ ON THIS ITEM PLEASE? I WOULD, YOU GUYS CAN TAKE A MOTION FOR THE TOTAL TAX RATE AND THEN WE'LL GO THROUGH EACH OF THOSE UNDERLINE

[01:05:01]

AND WE'RE ON ITEM ONE.

NOW, MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER CONLEY.

I HAVE SECONDED IT IN ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM.

ALL IN FAVOR? MOTION CARRIES.

WE HAVE ONE MORE NEED TO VOTE.

ONE, ONE NAY TO FOUR APPROVAL CARRIES FOUR TO ONE ON THE DEBT SERVICE RATE.

BRIANNA, IF YOU WOULD, DID YOU, UH, SORRY, DID YOU SAY THE M AND O RATE? WE DID THE TOTAL TAX RATE.

SO THE M AND O RATE IS 0.1 8 5 2 6 2 FROM A TOTAL OF 16,208,732.

IS THAT, IS THAT THE RIGHT NUMBER? NO, NO.

WE'LL, WE'RE JUST, WE'VE APPROVED THE TOTAL TAX RATE.

NOW WE JUST NEED TO APPROVE EACH PIECE OF THAT TAX RATE.

UNDERSTOOD.

SO FOR THE M AND O RATE, I GOT YOU.

I GOT IT.

IT'S THE 0.1 8 5 2 6 2.

I GOT, OKAY.

UH, I'D ASK FOR THAT MOTION AGAIN.

1.1 8 5 2 6 2.

SO MOVE.

DO WE HAVE A SECOND? I WILL SECOND THE MOTION.

MOTION CARRIES FOUR TO ONE.

MOVE TO ITEM THREE ON THE LADDER ROAD RATE.

YEAH, WE NEED TO DO THE DEBT SERVICE.

I'M SORRY, NUMBER TWO.

SO THAT DEBT SERVICE RATE IS 0.0 6 0 6 7 6.

MOTION MADE.

I'LL MAKE THE MOTION.

OH, I'M SORRY.

COMMISSIONER, UH, COMMISSIONER WALDEN HAS MADE THE MOTION.

NO WORRIES.

IT'S JUST A RENEWAL AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF ALITO FOR, UH, FOR SERVICES.

WE, WE ARE MAKING ONE OF MISSION, WE'RE TAKING OUT THE PATROL CAR.

UH, THEY ARE LOOKING TO POTENTIALLY PROVIDE THEIR OWN SERVICES AT LATER POINT.

SO THEY DIDN'T WANNA GO AHEAD AND FUND A, A VEHICLE THIS YEAR, SO, OKAY.

JUST PAYING FOR THREE DEPUTIES SALARIES AND BENEFITS.

AND WE'VE SEE NO CHANGE IN THE, THE BUDGET THIS YEAR WITH WHAT THEY'RE, THE WAY THEY'RE MOVING TOWARDS, CORRECT.

I MEAN, THEY'RE, THEY'RE MOVING.

I THINK IT'S PROBABLY GOING A LITTLE SLOWER THAN THEY ANTICIPATED WITH TRYING TO GET THE STATE OF TEXAS.

UH, AS FAR AS T COLE INVOLVED, IT'S A, IT'S A SLOW PROCESS SO I BET IT IS.

WE'RE WE'RE THERE TO HELP 'EM ANY WAY WE CAN.

OH, THANK YOU FOR INDULGING ME ON THAT AS WE GO BACK UP.

UH, AND WE DID APPROVE ITEM P, MOVE TO

[7.Q. Discuss and take action on the new requirement of 120 foot driveable surface as required by the Subdivision Rules and Regulations and take any action the court deems necessary. (Jamie Tierce / Judge Deen)]

JACOB, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING YOU WANT TO ADD TO THIS? SO THIS IS A CLARIFICATION MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE, BUT IT'S A CLARIFICATION THAT WE NEED TO VOTE ON.

WE HAD DISCUSSED CHANGING THE DRIVABLE SURFACE REQUIREMENT FOR A CUL-DE-SAC TO 120 FEET THAT WAS DEEMED TO BE NECESSARY TO ALLOW EMERGENCY VEHICLES, SCHOOL BUSES, ET CETERA, TO HAVE ENOUGH ROOM TO TURN AROUND BECAUSE WE CANNOT PROHIBIT RESIDENTS FROM PARKING IN FRONT OF THEIR HOUSE ON THE CUL-DE-SAC.

AND SO WHEN A RESIDENT PARKS UNDER OUR OLD DISTANCE, THAT WOULD PREVENT A SCHOOL BUS FROM USING THAT CUL-DE-SAC.

THAT WOULD ALSO PROBABLY BE PRETTY NARROW FOR A FIRE ENGINE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

SO WE PREVIOUSLY MOVED TO 120 FOOT OF DRIVABLE, BUT NOW WE'RE JUST LOOKING FOR CLARIFICATION ON HOW MUCH RIGHT OF WAY TOTAL DO WE NEED TO ALLOW FOR THE BAR DITCH FOR DRAINAGE.

MY SUGGESTION TO THE COURT WOULD BE A 15 FOOT WINDOW AROUND THE CUL-DE-SAC.

SO 120 FEET ACROSS AND THEN 15

[01:20:01]

ON EACH SIDE, WHICH WOULD BE 150 TOTAL.

AND YOUR REC AND YOUR RECOMMENDATION.

THIS IS BASED ON THE COMMITTEE AND WE HAVE, JAMIE, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING YOU WANNA ADD TO THIS? WELL, I MEAN WE APPROVED, UM, WELL WE, WE SPOKE ABOUT THE 120 FOOT DRIVABLE DISTANCE IN THE COMMITTEE, BUT SINCE THEN I'VE HAD A COUPLE PLATS COME UP AND THEN WHEN I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT IT ONE DAY I WAS LIKE, WELL IF WE DO ONE 20, WE HAVE NO ROOM FOR BAR DITCHES OR ANYTHING OUTSIDE OF THAT.

SO I HAVE THIS DRAWING, IT'S JUST AN EXAMPLE.

UM, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE THINGS I NEEDED TO CLARIFY, 'CAUSE WE HAVE TWO IN GEORGIA'S PRECINCT THAT CAME UP THIS LAST WEEK WHERE IF WE CHANGE THIS TO A ONE 20 DRIVABLE REALLY FEEL LIKE WE PROBABLY NEED 20 FOOT AROUND JACOB THINKS 15, 15 OR 20 ANYTHING WOULD WORK.

BUT WE ALSO NEED TO MAKE THAT CLARIFICATION THAT WE'RE EITHER GONNA STICK WITH THE 60 FOOT RIGHT AWAY OR WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO ADD ADDITIONAL.

BUT UH, AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE COMMISSIONER THIS MORNING, HE DOESN'T THINK WE WOULD NEED TO ADD ANY ADDITIONAL RIGHT OF WAY.

IT WOULD JUST KIND OF BE LIKE A BIG LOLLIPOP AT THE END OF THE CUL-DE-SAC.

SO I JUST NEED CLARIFICATION.

'CAUSE OTHERWISE I'VE GOTTA PLATS BACK, LIKE TO TAKE NO ACTION ON THIS ITEM AT THIS TIME.

I'VE GOT SOME INFORMATION THAT I NEED TO PUT OUT ABOUT THE ONE 20 AND NOT BEING ABLE TO PARK IN THE COUNTY RIGHT OF WAY.

I DON'T, I THOUGHT I HAD IT IN MY BOOK HERE, BUT I'VE GOT A ORDER THAT SAYS THAT WE CAN KEEP 'EM FROM PARKING IN THE COUNTY RIGHT OF WAY.

WELL, THERE THERE'S CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES IN WHICH IF THEY'RE OBSTRUCTING IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE OBSTRUCTING TRAFFIC.

TOTALLY AGREE, COMMISSIONER.

AND SO ON THIS, IF WE GO BACK AND DEFINE SO INDIVIDUAL WHAT WE'RE WE'RE HAPPENING IS WE'RE HAVING NEIGHBORHOODS CREATED WHERE IT'S NOT A THOROUGHFARE.

UH, KINDA LIKE MORNINGSTAR WHERE INDIVIDUALS CAN PARK IN OUTSIDE ON THE STREET.

UH, SAME CIRCUMSTANCES.

WE JUST NEED TO MAKE SURE THE CAUSEWAY IS AVAILABLE FOR THROUGH TRAFFIC SO IT DOESN'T IMPEDE ANYTHING.

THAT'S WHERE, UH, THE RESTRICTIONS COME IN.

IF IT IMPEDES THE TRAFFIC, THEN IT'S, IT'S JUST LIKE A TICKET.

THEY CAN BE TICKETED FOR THAT PARTICULAR OFFENSE.

SO, UH, THE ORDER REALLY, IT'S A MATTER OF LAW WHETHER IT'S IMPEDING TRAFFIC OR NOT.

AND THAT'S GONNA BE THE DISCRETION OF AN OFFICER AT THAT TIME.

BUT REALLY LOOKING AT THIS, THE ONE 20 DRIVABLE, WE SHOULD BE LOOKING AT THE RADIUS, SO THE DISTANCE FROM THE CENTER TO THE OUTSIDE TO MAKE SURE THAT, THAT THAT DISTANCE IS PROPER.

SO THE MEASUREMENT SHOULD BE OFF OF A RADIUS PLUS.

SO IT WOULD JUST BE 75 FOOT RADIUS, 60 OF DRIVABLE, 15 OF THE DRAWING UP THERE SHOWS 20 FOOT FOR DRAINAGE.

I FEEL LIKE THAT'S PROBABLY MORE THAN WE NEED.

AND AND JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, WE DID ALREADY VOTE THIS COURT DID AND APPROVED THE 120 FEET, BUT WE JUST DIDN'T CLARIFY HOW MUCH PAST THE 120 WE NEEDED TO SAVE FOR DRAINAGE.

YES SIR.

SO, AND AND MY UNDERSTANDING WAS WE HAD BROUGHT THIS UP BEFORE THE COURT A COUPLE OF TIMES AND IF, IF I'M CORRECT, THE RESPONSE WAS THAT WE DID NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO TELL HOMEOWNERS THEY CAN'T PARK IN THE CUL-DE-SAC.

BUT THAT WAS LEADING TO A CHAIN EFFECT WHERE A SCHOOL BUS WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO TURN AROUND, THEREFORE LEADING TO DANGEROUS DROP OFF AND PICKUP LOCATIONS FOR THAT SCHOOL BUS BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T USE THE CUL-DE-SAC WHERE THE PURPOSE OF THE CUL-DE-SAC, AT LEAST IN PART, IS TO GIVE ROOM FOR LARGER VEHICLES LIKE THAT TO TURN AROUND.

THEY SHOULDN'T BE PARKING OUT THERE, BUT WE WERE CUL-DE-SAC.

TOTALLY AGREE.

BUT MY UNDERSTANDING FROM MR. FOREST WAS THAT WE CAN'T ENFORCE THAT.

WELL, I THINK WE CAN, BUT WELL WE, WE CAN IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES.

I LIKE YOUR ANSWER BETTER AND I'VE GOT PROOF THAT WE CAN YEAH.

IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES WE CAN.

I SHOWED IT TO YOU.

WELL THAT, AND THAT WAS THAT INFORMATION I GAVE YOU.

YOU GAVE ME THAT FIVE YEARS AGO.

CORRECT.

AND SO THE WAY THAT THAT WORKS IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES, IT'S BASICALLY IF IT'S AN OBSTRUCTION OF THE ROAD, WHICH IS A CLASS OF MISDEMEANOR, BUT IT HAS TO IMPEDE TRAFFIC AND THAT'S, THAT'S WHERE WE GET INTO, UH, NEIGHBORHOOD ROADS.

IF PEOPLE AREN'T ABLE TO PARK IN FRONT OF THEIR HOUSE, THEY HAVE A PARTY OR THEY HAVE GUEST OVER OKAY.

AND THEY DON'T HAVE ADEQUATE PARKING, PEOPLE ARE ABLE TO UTILIZE THAT AREA ON THE SIDEWALK.

WELL I AGREE TO LETTING THEM DO THAT FOR PARTIES AND STUFF, BUT NOT TO PARK OUT THERE EVERY DAY AS A PARKING LOT.

DIDN'T, DIDN'T YOU HAVE SOMEONE WHO SPECIFICALLY PARKED IN THE AREA SO THAT THE BUS COULDN'T COME DOWN THERE? WE HAD THAT IN TWO SEPARATE SUBDIVISIONS IN PRECINCT TOO.

WE'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR FIVE YEARS, KEEPING PEOPLE FROM PARKING OUT THERE ACCORDING TO THAT PAPER THAT I HAD.

AND IT, IT DEPENDS ON, ON THE WIDTH OF THE ROAD, THE FLOW OF THE TRAFFIC THROUGH THERE.

AND ONCE AGAIN, THEY'D GO BACK TO DISCRETION OF A DEPUTY THAT GOES OUT, LOOKS AT IT TO SEE IF THEY ARE IMPEDING TRAFFIC

[01:25:01]

OR NOT IMPEDING TRAFFIC.

SO, YOU KNOW, WE'RE LOOKING AT TWO DIFFERENT THINGS THAT, WELL, IF THEY'RE PARKING OUT IN THIS CUL-DE-SAC, THEY'RE IMPEDING TRAFFIC.

IF THEY'RE DOING INTENTIONALLY BUST TURN AROUND OUT THERE.

SO I'M WILLING TO WAIT, WAIT TILL NEXT TIME IF, IF YOU ARE PLEA COMMISSIONER.

YEAH, THAT'S FINE.

ALRIGHT.

BUT AS IT AS, AS IT STANDS RIGHT NOW FOR THE COURT, WE ARE REQUIRING 120 FOOT OF DRIVABLE.

WE ARE, I JUST, IT STANDS RIGHT NOW A STACK OF NEW SUBDIVISIONS THAT ARE COMING IN THAT DON'T, I MEAN THEY ARE, THEY'RE WAITING ON, THEY'RE MEETING THE ONE 20, BUT THERE'S NO, DON'T YOU ALREADY HAVE SOME THAT HAVE ALREADY FILED SOME STUFF.

NOW THEY'RE GONNA HAVE TO CHANGE THE, THE LOTS.

THEY ARE GONNA HAVE TO CHANGE THE LOTS.

SO THEY'RE JUST KIND OF WAITING ON ME TO COME BACK AND SAY, HEY, GRANDFATHER THOSE OR BECAUSE THEY'VE ALREADY GOT THE LOCKS PLATTED.

I MEAN THEY'RE GONNA HAVE TO REQUEST A VARIANCE AT THIS POINT.

BUT I THINK WE TALKED ABOUT THOSE TWO IN YOUR PRECINCT.

'CAUSE THEY ALREADY HAVE THEIR DESIGN SUBMITTED, BUT NOW THE QUESTION IS COMING UP BECAUSE THERE'S NO, I CAN BRING A VARIANCE TO THE COURT.

THERE'S NO EXTRA OUTSIDE OF ONE 20 ALLOW.

SO I JUST DON'T, I WAS JUST, THEY'RE JUST WAITING ON ME TO COME BACK AND TELL 'EM DO WE NEED TO REDESIGN OR RIGHT.

THEY'D HAVE TO START OVER AND RE REDESIGN THE, THE LOTS AROUND THAT CUL-DE-SAC.

YES, SIR.

SO THEY NOT HAVE ANY DRAINAGE CALCULATED AT ALL IN THE CAL CUL-DE-SAC? NOT RIGHT NOW, BECAUSE OUR REGULATIONS CURRENTLY SAY THEY JUST HAVE TO HAVE ONE 20.

SO IF THEY, IF THEY PAVE A ONE 20 DIAMETER, THERE'S NOTHING OUTSIDE OF THAT 1 24, YOU KNOW, DROP OFF OR ANYTHING ELSE.

IT'S JUST A PURE ONE 20.

JUST HAVE THAT CIRCLE, JUST HAVE THAT DEVELOPER ON MY DEAL TO BRING A VARIANCE.

ASK FOR A VARIANCE YES, SIR.

TO COME TO COURT BECAUSE HE IS ALREADY, HE'S ALREADY DRAWN IT UP.

I WOULD SAY THAT THEY NEED TO SOMEHOW OR ANOTHER FIGURE OUT HOW THEY'RE GONNA DRAIN THAT BEFORE THEY BRING IT FOR FINAL APPROVAL.

WE'LL TAKE NO ACTION ON ITEM Q, UH, COMMISSIONER, I GUESS, UH, WHAT'S BEEN TALKED ABOUT HERE.

WE'LL BRING THAT BACK ON YOUR DIRECTION ON THAT.

I, I WOULD JUST ASK RICH TO BRING IT BACK FOR TWO WEEKS FROM NOW.

YES SIR.

AND THAT SHOULD GIVE COMMISSIONER CONLEY.

I HAD IT.

I STILL HAVE IT, BUT IT'S PROBABLY IN THE TRUCK.

OUT TOMORROW ON MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN FOUR 15 DISTRICT COURT, 43RD DISTRICT COURT, PARKER COUNTY COURT OF LAW, NUMBER ONE, PARKER COUNTY AT LAW NUMBER TWO AND COURT APPOINTED SPECIAL ADVOCATES, HOPE FOR CHILDREN INCORPORATED CASA AND TAKE ANY ACTION ON THE COURT DEEMS NECESSARY.

JOHN, CAN YOU GO OVER THIS? I CAN.

SO THIS, UH, MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE COURTS AND CASA, WHICH IS COURT APPOINTED SPECIAL ADVOCATES AND WHAT THEY DO, THEY GIVE A POWERFUL VOICE FOR NEGLECTED AND ABUSED CHILDREN.

THEY REPRESENT THOSE CHILDREN.

IT'S A GREAT ORGANIZATION.

UH, THE COURTS HAVE UTILIZED THIS NATIONWIDE.

AND SO IT'S A VERY IMPORTANT PROGRAM, UH, JUST TO KIND OF GIVE YOU A GENERAL IDEA OF WHAT EXISTED PRIOR TO THIS.

KIDS THAT WERE REMOVED FROM THEIR HOMES DURING AN INVESTIGATION WITH CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES, THEY'D GO TO FOSTER HOME ATTORNEYS WOULD BE APPOINTED, BUT THERE WAS NO ONE THAT REALLY HAD TIME TO SIT DOWN WITH THE KIDS AND SEE WHAT WAS IN THEIR BEST INTEREST, ESPECIALLY VERBAL KIDS.

THE NONVERBAL KIDS, YOU KNOW, THEY STILL REPRESENT THEM, YOU KNOW, VERY STRONGLY.

BUT THESE INDIVIDUALS WILL GO VISIT WITH THE CHILDREN, GET THEIR POINT OF VIEW, GET THEIR PERSPECTIVE OF WHAT THEY WANT, AND THEY ADVOCATE FOR THAT IN COURT.

SO IT'S A VERY, VERY POWERFUL TOOL THAT WE UTILIZE IN OUR COURTS TODAY.

THIS IS A CONTINUATION.

THIS IS, WELL THIS, WE HAVE TO DO IT EVERY YEAR 'CAUSE THEY HAVE TO ADOPT THIS PROGRAM EVERY YEAR.

SO THIS MOU THAT THE COURTS ARE SAYING, THEY'RE GONNA UTILIZE IT.

I'M TERRY HUBBARD, PRESIDENT OF THE PARKER COUNTY HISTORICAL COMMISSION.

LIFELONG RESIDENT OF WEATHERFORD AND PARKER COUNTY.

AND NEVER HAVE I BEEN PROUDER TO BE ABLE TO SAY.

SO GREAT THINGS ARE HAPPENING IN WEATHERFORD AND PARKER COUNTY WITH SO MUCH MORE TO COME.

BY THE WAY, THE HISTORICAL COMMISSION IS HONORING MULT SHOP AS A TEXAS TREASURER'S BUSINESS FOR HAVING BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR OVER 50 YEARS.

SO YOU CAN'T TEAR IT DOWN YET.

, UM, TO SAY WE ARE EXCITED ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITIES AHEAD OF US, IT'S AN UNDERSTATEMENT TO SAY THE LEAST.

WE APPRECIATE ALL YOU JUDGE DEAN, AND THE COMMISSIONERS COURT, AS WELL AS YOUR STAFF HAVE DONE TO SUPPORT US IN THE PAST.

AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUING TO WORK WITH YOU IN THE FUTURE WITH THE EVER EXPANDING FOOTPRINT OF THE DOWNTOWN AREA.

IT WON'T BE LONG BEFORE 2 0 2 WEST OAK WILL BE INCLUDED ON A HISTORICAL DOWNTOWN MAP, ALONG WITH THE WOLF OAK MCCALL HOME AND OTHER HISTORIC STRUCTURES THAT ARE NOT CURRENTLY INCLUDED IN THE AREA KNOWN AS THE NATIONAL REGISTRY AREA.

BY UNANIMOUS VOTE ON TWO THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 12TH OF THE HISTORICAL UH, COMMISSION, I WAS ASKED TO COME BEFORE COMMISSIONER'S COURT TO URGE YOU TO, UH, MOVE FORWARD IN ACQUIRING THE PROPERTY AT 2 0 2 WEST OAK, OR AT LEAST SEEKING TO FINDING OUT WHAT IT WILL TAKE.

UM, MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION THAT WERE PRESENT TO VOTE REPRESENT ALL FOUR PRECINCTS OF PARKER COUNTY AND ARE ANXIOUS TO BE THE ORGANIZATION TO HELP PRESERVE THIS HISTORIC HOME.

QUITE A FEW OF OUR MEMBERS, ALONG WITH MEMBERS OF THE PARKER COUNTY HERITAGE SOCIETY HAVE TOUGHED IT OUT AND ARE STILL HERE TODAY IN SUPPORT OF OUR REQUEST.

WOULD YOU ALL PLEASE STAND JUST RIGHT QUICK.

WE HAVE A PRETTY GOOD CONTINGENT.

NEAR SEVERAL OTHER ROOMS, LARGE ENOUGH TO ALLOW ORGANIZATIONS TO HOLD MEETINGS IN OUR CURRENT OFFICE.

UM, WHILE WE HAVE NOT HAD TIME FOR DETAILED DISCUSSION ON FUTURE USE, IT HAS BEEN NOTED THAT THE FACILITY COULD BE USED AS A MUSEUM IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE OTHER PRESERVATION, WITH OTHER PRESERVATION ENTITIES OR RENTAL SPACE AS, UM, A REC AS CALLED OUT IN GOVERNMENT CODE CHAPTER 3 18 2 0 2 WEST OAK STREET MEETS THIS CRITERIA AS IT IS ALREADY A RECORDED TEXAS HISTORIC LANDMARK AND HAS BEEN DESIGNATED A LOCAL HISTORIC LANDMARK.

ONE PLAN WE HAVE IS TO UTILIZE THE HOME AS OUR PRINCIPAL OFFICE WITH POSSIBILITY OF A FUTURE MUSEUM AND EVENT SPACES.

WE WILL HOLD OUR REGULAR AND ANY CALLED MEETINGS THERE ONCE WE HAVE RECEIVED THE GO AHEAD AND THE KEYS.

'CAUSE THE KEYS ARE KIND OF IMPORTANT.

ALSO, THE BUILDING IS LARGE ENOUGH TO ACCOMMODATE COMMISSIONER'S COURT FOR WORK SESSIONS WHEN YOU'RE READY TO STEP OUTSIDE THE COURTHOUSE.

WE SET UP RECENTLY IN THE, IN THE HALLWAY FOR OUR OWN MEETING AND HAD PLENTY OF ROOM

[01:35:01]

WE ARE OPEN THE SECOND SATURDAY OF EACH MONTH, UM, FROM 10 TO TWO FOR VISITORS, WHETHER THEY'RE RESIDENTS OR UM, WHATEVER TO COME THROUGH, ASK QUESTIONS, VISIT, READ THE STORY.

THE HISTORIC STORYBOARDS THAT WE HAVE.

UM, JANA BLOOM AND TR HAS DONE A WONDERFUL JOB AT PUTTING THOSE TOGETHER.

UM, WE'RE HOPING WITH THE NEW BUILDING TO BE ABLE TO BE OPEN EVERY SATURDAY AT LEAST FROM 10 TO 12, IF NOT FROM UNTIL TWO.

WE ALSO WORK WITH THE DOWNTOWN WEATHERFORD INC.

AND BEING OPEN WHEN THERE'S SPECIAL EVENTS DOWNTOWN.

AND WE OPENED FOR THE STREET DANCE FOR THE SHERIFF'S POSSE.

UM, AND YOU NEVER KNOW WHO YOU'RE GONNA SEE.

WE HAD, WE HAVE HAD MEMBERS OR VISITORS FROM AS FAR AWAY AS MEXICO AND COSTA RICA, AS WELL AS JAPAN.

WE'RE ALSO PLANNING TO SET UP AT THE PUBLIC MARKET AND FIRST MONDAY WITH TABLE AND STORYBOARDS FOR VISITORS TO, UM, CHAT AND, UM, VIEW THE STORYBOARDS AND READ WITH THEM AS WELL AS SIGNS TO, UH, SEND THEM TO OUR NEW OFFICE.

THAT'S IF WE GET IT.

UM, KELLY LITTLE WITH THE THC WAS RECENTLY IN WEATHERFORD FOR A WORKSHOP WITH THE WEATHERFORD HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION AND TOURED THE HOME AFTER OUR MEETING.

SHE WAS SO EXCITED THAT WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK TOWARDS THE PRESERVATION OF THIS HISTORIC HOME AND ADVISED US OF SOME FUNDING AVAILABILITY.

GRANTS GENERALLY REQUIRE MATCHING FUNDS AND THE HISTORIC COMMISSION HAS SOME NON TAXPAYER FUNDS THAT COULD BE USED FOR THIS PURPOSE.

THERE ARE SOME OTHER LOCAL NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS THAT MAY BE WILLING TO HELP WITH FUNDING.

WE AS A COMMISSION ARE FORTUNATE THAT WE HAVE SEVERAL MEMBERS THAT ARE VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE IN PARKER COUNTY HISTORY, INCLUDING A RETIRED ARCHIVIST FROM UTA.

DO Y'ALL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR US? IS WHAT WE'RE PLANNING IN THE FUTURE.

ARE YOU, YOU GONNA COME IN? ARE YOU COMING IN EXECUTIVE SESSION? SOMEBODY IF YOU WANT ME TO AND, AND, AND BASICALLY, YOU KNOW, I CAN EXPLAIN FURTHER IN DETAIL.

SO BACK, WHAT, WHAT MIGHT BE PROPOSED.

IT WOULD BE NICE ALSO TO HEAR THE HISTORY OF WHAT THE HOUSE, I KNOW JAMIE BOCKER HAS QUITE A BIT OF DETAIL HISTORY ON THAT PARTICULAR LOCATION AS WELL.

I'LL JUST INTERJECT THAT.

UH, THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF URGENCY BECAUSE THIS HOUSE IS LISTED FOR SALE BY THE CITY OF WEATHERFORD CURRENTLY.

, UH, THEY HAVE BEEN UTILIZING IT FOR SPACE FOR SOME OFFICES IN THERE FOR THE FIRE FOLKS IN THERE.

AND THEY NO LONGER ARE INTERESTED IN CONTINUING TO DO THAT.

I GUESS THEY HAVE A NEW FACILITY, SO IT IS FOR SALE AND THAT'S WHAT THE URGENCY IS.

SO JAMIE, IF YOU'D COME UP AND, AND TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE HISTORICAL ASPECT OF THE, THE, OF THE STRUCTURE, IT'D BE GREAT.

UH, COMMISSIONER, DEAN, AND COMMISSIONERS.

I WOULD LOVE TO TERMINATE THIS LISTING AND YOU DON'T HEAR THAT FROM A REALTOR.

IT WOULD BE A REAL HONOR.

UM, I'VE HAD, I'VE HAD THE LISTING FOR ABOUT FOUR MONTHS AND IT'S, UM, BUT ON THE MARKET IT WAS BUILT IN ACTUALLY, UM, 1897.

SO WE HAVE A 120 4-YEAR-OLD HOUSE.

AND WHAT'S INTERESTING, ALL THE OPEN HOUSES I'VE HAD, YOU KNOW WHAT EVERYBODY SAYS, WHY ISN'T THIS NOT A MUSEUM? WHY IS IT NOT WHY? AND, UH, THE CITY HAD THEIR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AS WELL AS THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, UH, ADMINISTRATION THERE FOR 12 YEARS.

AND IT'S, IT'S SUCH A SHAME 'CAUSE IT IS SUCH A STATELY, IT KIND OF REPRESENTS, WE HAD SO MANY VICTORIAN HOMES AS YOU KNOW, PARKER COUNTY AT ONE TIME IN THE 18 HUNDREDS, YOU HAD EL PASO, WEATHERFORD, AND DALLAS FORT WORTH WAS NOT AROUND.

IT WAS STILL FORT ABILENE MIDLAND.

THAT WAS ALL STILL PRAIRIES.

AND AT ONE TIME I THOUGHT, THIS IS INTERESTING.

THAT'S WHY OUR COURTHOUSE, UM, COURTROOM IS SO LARGE BECAUSE IT ENCOMPASSED ALL THE WAY TO EL PASO.

ISN'T THAT CRAZY? AREN'T YOU GLAD YOU DON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH THAT NOW? BUT, UH, WEATHERFORD WAS VERY PROSPEROUS AND SO THE HOMES WERE REALLY QUITE FIT.

THIS HOUSE WAS BUILT IN 1897 BY, UH, MR. LOWE WHO OWNED THE HARDWARE STORE.

SO INSIDE OF THIS HOUSE, IT'S INCREDIBLE, THE WORKMANSHIP, THE WHEAT TYPE, UH, MOLDINGS ON THE DOORS.

WE HAVE TRANSOM WINDOWS AND ALL THE DOORWAYS.

UH, I HAD A BID FROM A LOCAL, UH, WOOD FINISHER, UH, FLOORS.

AND HE SAID WE COULD TAKE THE CARPET OFF AND REDO THE FLOORS AND IT WAS LIKE $13,000.

WE HAVE INLAID FLOORS ON TWO OF THE BIG ROOMS DOWNSTAIRS.

AND TERRY MENTIONED THIS

[01:40:01]

ON THE MEETING ROOM.

ONE MEETING ROOM WOULD PROBABLY ENCOMPASS, UH, COMMISSIONER CONLEY, PROBABLY ABOUT 45 PEOPLE.

SO WE'RE HOPING, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, THE EAST PARKER COUNTY GENEALOGY, WHICH MOSTLY IS ENCOMPASSES ALITO, I THINK OF THE MILLSAP, UM, GROUP, UH, THE WONDERFUL GROUP IN SPRINGTOWN WITH, UH, THE LAURIE MOSLEY MUSEUM.

I THINK THIS IS THE TIME WE COULD ALL WORK TOGETHER AND REALLY BE ADVOCATES FOR THE COUNTY BECAUSE WE ARE, WE'RE ALL ONE.

AND HAVING BEEN ON THE SCHOOL BOARD AND THE CITY COUNCIL, I ADMIRE Y'ALL TODAY FOR TAKING THE BIG STEP.

AND IT HURTS.

AND EVERYBODY THINKS GROWTH IS CHEAPER THE MORE PEOPLE THAT GET HERE.

NO, IT COSTS MORE MONEY.

I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS ON THE COUNCIL 20 YEARS AGO, TEXAS MUNICIPAL LEAGUE HAD A STUDY AND IT SAID IT COST PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, WE HAD ALL THESE HOUSES THAT WERE BEING BUILT IN THE CITY.

WELL, IT WAS COSTING MORE MONEY TO BRING THE SERVICES THAN WHAT THEY WERE GONNA EVER BRING TO THE TAX ROLL.

SO WE JUST HOPE THESE PEOPLE WITH THE TYPE OF BUSINESSES WE HAVE NOW SHOPPING.

AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT'S GREAT IS WE'RE WANTING TO DO THE, UH, UH, TOURS OF THE COUNTY COURTHOUSE HERE ON SATURDAY.

SO YOU THINK OF, I GO INTO DOWNTOWN AND DO YOU DO THIS, UH, ATTORNEY MR. FOREST? DO YOU SEE GOING THERE? AND YOU DON'T SEE A PERSON, YOU KNOW, AND THAT'S SCARY.

BUT THEY'RE ALL PEOPLE FROM OUTSIDE THE COMMUNITY THAT COME HERE.

THEY WANNA SEE OUR BEAUTIFUL LITTLE TOWN.

THEY WANNA GET A RESPITE.

I DON'T KNOW IF Y'ALL KNOW THIS, I SHOULDN'T SAY THIS WAS BEING RECORDED, BUT THERE'S A VERY PROMINENT MAN OUT DALLAS WHO OWNS ABOUT 21 BANKS IN TEXAS.

HIS WIFE AND HER LITTLE CHILDREN COME OVER HERE JUST TO EXPERIENCE A SMALL TOWN.

WE, THEY FEEL PEOPLE FROM OTHER PLACES STILL THINK WE'RE A SMALL TOWN, SO WE'RE NOT GONNA TELL 'EM ANY DIFFERENTLY.

BUT ONE TO KIND OF DO A LITTLE REAL QUICK, UM, COMMENT.

I STARTED LOOKING ABOUT ALL THE PROMINENT TYPE PEOPLE.

IT'S NOT MR. WRIGHT 'CAUSE HE'S ON ONE OF MANY.

JUST GOT THIS FABULOUS BOOK.

IT'S CALLED FRANCE LANHAM.

UH, WE ALL KNOW OF GOVERNOR LANHAM.

AND GOVERNOR LANHAM WAS ALSO A CONGRESSMAN AND DISTRICT ATTORNEY.

HE WAS ACTUALLY THE ATTORNEY THAT BROUGHT THE FIRST CASE AGAINST THE INDIANS.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU REMEMBER THAT AGAINST SANTANA, WHERE THEY HIT THE INDIANS AND JOHN WAS THERE.

HE WAS, YEAH, HE WAS A PROBABLY THERE.

AND, AND HIS FATHER BECAME NATIONALLY PROMINENT BECAUSE OF THIS COURT TRIAL.

AND THEY, THE JURY, UM, ACTUALLY GAVE HIM THE DEATH SENTENCE.

BUT GOVERNOR LANHAM, UH, COMMUTED THAT.

AND SO HE LATER RAN FOR GOVERNOR BECAUSE OF THE NATIONAL PROMINENCE.

BUT JUST REAL QUICK, LIKE IT'S KIND OF INTERESTING.

WE DO HAVE, UH, COUNTY MUSEUMS IN DENTON COUNTY HOOD.

PALINO, THE ONE IN WISE, UNFORTUNATELY BURNED RECENTLY, UH, DALLAS COUNTY.

BUT I HAVE A LIST OF NOTABLE PEOPLE AND IT'S JUST, I JUST WROTE EVEN MORE WHEN I WAS SITTING HERE A WHILE AGO.

OLIVER LOVING B IKER, CHARLES GOODNIGHT.

DO Y'ALL KNOW THE CHUCK WAGON ORIGINATED IN PARKER COUNTY BECAUSE OF CHARLES? GOODNIGHT, THE CHUCK WAGON AND ISAAC PARKER.

CYNTHIA ANN PARKER.

UH, SAM WEATHERFORD, CLARA WIL HEIGHT, WHICH MY FATHER SAID WAS THE SMARTEST WOMAN IN PARKER COUNTY WHO HAD WILL HEIGHT MELLON COMPANY IN 1904, THE PARKER COUNTY MELLON WON FIRST PLACE IN THE ST.

LOUIS WORLDS FAIR AND SIZE, AND, UH, WAS ON THE MENU AT WALDORF ASTORIA ON THEIR MENU.

UH, I REMEMBER, UH, CONGRESSMAN WRIGHT TELL ME WHEN HE WAS MAYOR, HE USED TO GET PHONE CALLS.

CAN YOU SEND ME A, UH, MELON, MR. MAYOR? HE WOULD.

AND THEY WOULD SEND THE CHECK BACK.

THEY WERE, IT WAS AN HONOR SYSTEM.

SOME OF 'EM WERE 200 POUNDS.

A TOM WATSON MELLON, UM, QUITE A, QUITE A MELON, UH, SECRETARY OF TREASURY FOR DWIGHT EISENHOWER.

ROBERT ANDERSON WAS FROM WEATHERFORD GA HOLLAND.

DOUGLAS SHANDOR, BUSTER BROWN AND HIS DOG, TIG THAT WAS SO POPULAR IN THE SHOE COMPANY.

UH, BUSTER BROWN WAS FROM VILLE AND UH, COMIC HERO AND HE CAME FROM PARKER COUNTY GENERAL LIESEL LEE GENERAL WILLIAM HOOD SIMPSON, FRED COTTON CHAIRMAN OF THE TEXAS HISTORICAL COMMISSION.

OUR DEAR LOVE, JACK BORDEN, GRACE CARTWRIGHT, JR.

KS HUGH DOS, WILLIAM FENT.

THEY WERE ALL FOUNDERS OF BANKS IN PARKER COUNTY, WHICH TOO ARE STILL IN EXISTENCE TODAY.

UH, GOVERNOR, UH, SAMUEL LANAM, AS I TOLD YOU, AND HE WAS A CONGRESSMAN AND DISTRICT ATTORNEY, BUT HIS SON FRITZ, UH, SERVED 27 YEARS IN CONGRESS AND HE IS THE FATHER OF THE FEDERAL TRADEMARK ACT.

HE SAT ON THE COMMITTEE THAT DESIGNED THE SUPREME COURT.

HE WAS CHAIRMAN OF WAYS AND MEANS.

AND AN INTERESTING COMMENT, I DIDN'T KNOW IT UNTIL I WAS READING THE BOOK, THAT JIM WRIGHT'S DAD INTRODUCED JIM TO FRITZ LANHAM WHEN YOUNG JIM WAS FIVE YEARS OLD.

AND HE SAID TO CONGRESSMAN LANHAM, CONGRESSMAN, I WANT YOU TO MEET YOUR SUCCESSOR.

AND GUESS WHAT? HE SUCCEEDED.

FRITZ LANHAM.

THEY JUST GIVES ME COATTAILS.

WOW.

UM, PROFESSOR UH, EMERITUS JOE FRANCE, WHO DID A THOUSAND INTERVIEWS FOR LINDA JOHNSON, FOR THE LBJ LIBRARY FOR IT TOOK HIM SEVEN YEARS BEFORE HE DIED.

ROY KEATON AND INTERVIEWED LION CLUB MEMBERS.

HE WAS A DIRECTOR, GENERAL LION CLUB AND HE BROUGHT IN 102 COUNTRIES UNDER HIS LEADERSHIP, HIS HISTORICAL MARKERS AT GREENWOOD CEMETERY.

[01:45:01]

BUT I'M THERE.

WILLIAM, UH, WILLIAM THOMAS AT A YOUNG MAN NAMED WALTER EARL.

AND OF COURSE WE MENTIONED SPEAKER JIM WRIGHT.

AND I DON'T KNOW IF Y'ALL KNOW SOME OF, UH, THE YOUNGER FOLKS IN THE AUDIENCE.

UM, JIM WRIGHT WAS THE YOUNGEST MAYOR FOR MANY DECADES FROM TEXAS.

I THINK HE WAS MAYOR WHEN HE WAS 24.

HE WENT TO THE LEGISLATURE WHEN HE WAS 22.

UM, RICK WILLIAMSON, STATE REPRESENTATIVE CHAIRMAN OF THE TEXAS HIGHWAY COMMISSION.

AND WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL ACTORS FROM WEATHERFORD.

DID Y'ALL KNOW SPANKY MCFARLAND OF LITTLE RASCALS WAS FROM WEATHERFORD, ACTUALLY HE WAS FROM BEVILLE AND, UH, MARY MARTIN OF COURSE, AND LARRY HAMAN.

AND NOW WE HAVE TAYLOR SHERIDAN, LOTS OF SPORTS PEOPLE.

SO MR. UH, GRINGER PLAYED FOR UH, GREEN BAY AND WE HAD, UM, RAYMOND SHANKE WHO PLAYED FOR WASHINGTON.

SO THERE'S SO MANY PEOPLE AND MANY OF THESE PEOPLE YOU DON'T KNOW.

AND THAT'S WHY WE NEED A MUSEUM.

THERE'S CHILDREN TODAY AND CONSTITUENTS OF YOURS THAT I THINK THEY WOULD LOVE GOING IN THERE.

'CAUSE WE DON'T HAVE, EXCEPT FOR MARY MARTIN AND DOUGLAS SHANDUR AND LARRY HAMAN.

WE HAVE NOTHING ANYWHERE IN OUR COUNTY THAT'S TALKING ABOUT THESE PEOPLE.

SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND AGAIN, UM, I KNOW IT TAKES A LOT OF COURAGE WORKING ON THE BUDGET AND JUST BECAUSE PEOPLE COME HERE AS GROWTH, THAT DOESN'T MEAN THEY'RE PAYING THEIR WAY, BUT HOPEFULLY THEY'LL SPEND AND YOU GET A LITTLE BIT OF THE TAX REVENUE.

HOPEFULLY, HOPEFULLY SPEND A LOT ON SALES TAX.
