ITEM FOUR ON THE CONSENT AGENDA UNDER ITEM A AUDITOR, ITEMS TWO THROUGH FOUR, ITEM B ON THE TREASURER, ITEM ONE AND THREE, AND THEN UNDER COUNTY JUDGE ITEM C, ITEMS ONE, TWO, AND THREE.I'D ASK FOR A MOTION AS I MOVE TO APPROVE THE CONSENT ITEMS AS PRESENTED TO COURT TODAY.
MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER WALL WITH A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER HALE.
ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR, CARRIE? FIVE VOTE.
WE HAVE A COUPLE OF, UH, REPRESENTATIVES TODAY FROM CITIES OF ALITO AND WILLOW PARK, AND, UH, WHAT I'D LIKE TO DO IS
[6.B. Approve annexation by Willow Park of a portion of Bankhead Hwy. (John Fon-est Judge Deen)]
MOVE DOWN TO ITEM SIX B ON THE APPROVAL OF THE ANNEXATION BY WILLOW PARK OF A PORTION OF BANKHEAD HIGHWAY.JOHN, IF YOU WANT TO COVER THAT POINT, AND I, AND I THINK BRIAN GRIMES IS HERE.
JUDGE COMMISSIONERS BRIAN GRIMES, CITY OF WILLOW PARK CITY MANAGER.
WITH ME TODAY IS BILL BERG, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER TONY FISHER, THE ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER.
AND SINCE MY REVIEWS IN TWO WEEKS, THE HONORABLE SEAN GILLAND
INTRODUCE HIM, UH, BEFORE YOU.
TODAY IS A RESOLUTION, UH, TO ANNEX A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF BANKHEAD HIGHWAY FROM APPROXIMATELY, UH, AS THE CROW FLIES FROM THE GYM AT OFF OF BANKHEAD TO 1187.
UH, THIS COMES IN REQUEST FROM ROBERT BELL AND THE BELL DEVELOPMENT, UH, THEY'RE WISHING TO ANNEX A 317 ACRE PORTION OF, OF THEIR PROPERTY INTO THE CITY OF WILLOW PARK.
UM, AND, UM, WE'VE DONE THIS BEFORE.
I THINK WE'VE DONE THIS A COUPLE, THREE TIMES ALREADY, RIGHT? UM, SAME SCENARIO AS LAST TIME, ANNEX BANK HEAD THAT GETS US TO THE BAIL DEVELOPMENT.
AND THEN WE WILL SET A PUBLIC HEARING IN 45 DAYS TO, UH, CONSUMMATE THE ANNEXATION.
JOHN, DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENT, ADD TO THAT? STRAIGHTFORWARD, PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD.
WE LIKE, LIKE I STATED, WE'VE DONE THIS A COUPLE TIMES BEFORE.
IT, UH, IS OUT THERE IN MIKE HILL'S PRECINCT.
UH, MIKE'S SEEN IT, BUT YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY THIS IS BASED ON AN INDIVIDUAL MAKING THE REQUEST HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE COMMISSION MAKING THAT REQUEST AND THE CITY MAKING THAT REQUEST AS WELL.
IT'S AVOL, IT'S A VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION FROM MR. BELL.
MOTION IS MADE BY COMMISSIONER HALE AND THE SECOND BY COMMISSIONER CONY.
IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM BEFORE WE VOTE? ALL IN FAVOR.
SEAN, THEY DIDN'T EVEN GIVE YOU A CHANCE TO SPEAK OR ANYTHING.
[6.S. Discuss/Take action on renewal contracts for East Parker County Library for fiscal 2024/2025 and take action the court deems necessary. (Commissioner Hale)]
MOVE DOWN TO SIX ITEM SIX S.WE ALSO HAVE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE CITY OF ALITO HERE.
UH, THE ACTION ITEM DISCUSSED, TAKE ACTION ON RENEWAL CONTRACTS FOR EAST PARKER COUNTY LIBRARY FOR FISCAL 24 25, AND TAKE ACTION.
JUST BEFORE I, UM, UM, LET'S JUST SPEAK NOAH AND, UH, NOAH, THE CITY MANAGER OF ALITO, UH, THAT, UH, THERE WAS A CHANGE IN, THIS IS WHERE ALITO TOOK OWNERSHIP OF THIS.
UH, I DO KNOW THAT WE, WE HAVE HAD A SIMILAR SITUATION WHERE WE DID BUSINESS WITH WEATHERFORD, UH, WHERE IT WAS AN OWNED CITY OWNED LIBRARY.
SO, UH, WE TOOK ACTION ON THIS AND, UH, YOU'RE HERE TO SPEAK ON THAT ITEM.
NOAH SIMON, CITY MANAGER OF ALITO.
UH, AND ALSO HAPPY THANKSGIVING, UM, TO YOU ALL.
UM, I'M HERE TO DISCUSS BRIEFLY THE, UH, WHAT USED TO BE CALLED THE EAST PARKER COUNTY LIBRARY NOW JUST SORT OF GENERALLY REFERRED TO AS THE ALITO LIBRARY.
AND, UH, IN THE PAST YEARS, UM, UH, YOU ALL HAVE PROVIDED FUNDING TO THE LIBRARY IN THE AMOUNT OF $22,770.
AND I'M HERE TO, UH, ASK FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT OF THAT.
THE ONLY THING THAT HAS CHANGED, UM, BETWEEN, UH, WHAT YOU ALL DID LAST YEAR AND WHAT, UH, IS HAPPENING NOW IS THE CITY OF ALITO HAS, UM, I DON'T LIKE TO USE THE WORD TAKEN OVER 'CAUSE IT SOUNDS HOSTILE, RIGHT.
UM, BUT WE'VE MERGED WITH THE EAST PARKER COUNTY LIBRARY.
UH, THEY HAVE BECOME A CITY DEPARTMENT AS OF OCTOBER ONE.
UM, AND THE, ONE OF THE SIGNIFICANT IMPETUS FOR THAT, UM, MERGER IS THAT, UM, THE EAST PARKER COUNTY, OR WHAT WAS THE EAST PARKER COUNTY LIBRARY SERVES ALL OF PARKER COUNTY, UM, BUT FINANCIALLY WAS NOT REALLY ABLE TO CONTINUE TO SUSTAIN ITSELF.
AND SO IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE THIS REALLY IMPORTANT AND VALUABLE SERVICE, NOT ONLY TO ALITO, BUT TO ALL THE RESIDENTS OF PARKER COUNTY, UH, CONTINUES, UM, WE'VE ENTERED INTO AN AGREEMENT IN WHICH THEY, UH, THE LIBRARY WILL ACTUALLY MOVE
[00:05:01]
INTO THE NEW FACILITY AND OCCUPY, UH, RIGHT AROUND 5,000 SQUARE FEET.SO CONSIDERABLY LARGER SPACE IN THAT THEY CURRENTLY HAVE.
UM, I DO HAVE STATISTICS, UM, ROUGHLY, UM, IF YOU TAKE OUT THE CITIES OF ALITO, ANTA, ANTA, NORTH AND SOUTH HUDSON OAKS, UM, AND WEATHERFORD AND WILLOW PARK, UM, ALMOST, UH, 46%, UM, OF ALL THE, UH, INTERACTIONS, UH, AT THE LIBRARY ARE FOLKS WHO LIVE, UM, IN PARKER COUNTY, NOT INCLUDING, UM, YOU KNOW, IF YOU LIVE IN ONE OF THOSE, UH, UH, CITIES THAT I JUST REFERENCED.
SO THIS IS A LIBRARY THAT SERVES ALL, TRULY SERVES ALL OF PARKER COUNTY.
AND I'M JUST HERE TO, UH, ASK YOU ALL FOR YOUR CONTINUED, UM, FINANCIAL SUPPORT SO WE CAN CONTINUE TO MAKE THIS RESOURCE AVAILABLE TO ALL OF THE RESIDENTS OF PARKER COUNTY.
SO LAST TIME THIS, THIS CAME UP IN COURT AND, AND WE ASKED, WE DISCUSSED IT BRIEFLY, AND, UH, I WENT AND SPOKE WITH MR. SIMONS, UM, AND ASKED FOR SOME OF THESE.
AND THIS WAS HOW I EXPECTED A LOT OF IT ACTUALLY IS OUTSIDE OF THE CITY LIMIT OF ALITO.
THAT'S BEEN THE NAME OF THE LIBRARY AS LONG AS I REMEMBER.
BUT, UH, ONCE I SAW THESE, I FELT LIKE THE, THE COURT HAD SUPPORTED IT AT THIS LEVEL FOR QUITE A WHILE.
AND I KNOW FROM THE AMOUNT OF FOLKS THAT HAVE REACHED OUT TO ME THAT THIS IS AN IMPORTANT ASSET AND THAT A LOT OF FOLKS STILL USE THE LIBRARY OVER THERE.
SO THAT'S WHY I BROUGHT IT TO, TO THE COURT AGAIN.
AND I WANT TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE SUPPORT TO, UH, APPROVE THE SUPPORT THAT WE'VE DONE HISTORICALLY FOR HIM.
WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER HALE, A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER CONLEY.
WE'RE IN THE DISCUSSION PHASE.
UM, SIMILAR SITUATION, WHAT WE HAD WITH WEATHERFORD, WE WERE WORKING WITH THEM AND WITH A CITY OWNED LIBRARY WHERE WE WERE PAYING A CERTAIN AMOUNT.
AND THEN THAT WENT INTO NEGOTIATION ON IT.
UM, BUT I THINK THE KEY TO THAT, WHAT THAT WAS, AND COMMISSIONER WALDEN AND I MET WITH THEM AND, AND TALKED WITH THEM ABOUT SOLUTIONS AND TRYING TO WORK TOGETHER ON THAT WAS THE NUMBER THAT STUCK OUT WAS A SUBSTANTIAL NUMBER OF THOSE IN THE ETJ.
AND THAT WAS, I WAS SURPRISED TO SEE WHAT THAT NUMBER WAS ON THE 46%.
SO BASICALLY HAVE ONE AND TWO THAT WALK IN, OR NOT IN THE CITY OF TOLEDO, BUT IN EITHER IN YOUR ETJ OR IN ONE OF THE OTHER EJS OF THE CITIES THAT YOU MENTIONED.
SO IT KIND OF PUTS US IN A SITUATION WHERE IT'S A SIMILAR THING AS WHAT WE HAD WITH WEATHERFORD.
AND SO THE, THE AMOUNT THAT WE GAVE BEFORE NOAH IS 22,700 WAS THE, THE AMOUNT THAT WE GAVE YOU IN THE PAST.
AND THAT HAS BEEN CONSISTENT OVER THE YEARS.
I MEAN, IF YOU'D LIKE TO ADD SOME ZEROS TO THAT, WE'RE GOOD WITH THAT TOO.
SO JUDGE, IF I'M AT, UH, UH, MR. MR. SIMONS, UH, WHEN, WHEN YOU ACCEPT MONEY FROM THE, THE TAXPAYERS OF PARKER COUNTY, THERE COMES SOME ACCOUNTABILITY WITH THAT.
AND SO, UM, I WON'T PUT YOU ON THE SPOT HERE TODAY, BUT IF, IF YOU BRING US THE NUMBER OF INTERACTIONS IN THE FUTURE LIKE THAT, WE MIGHT ASK QUESTIONS SUCH AS, DOES THAT INCLUDE, UH, PEOPLE CHECKING OUT MOVIES OR DVDS OR MUSIC, OR IS IT PEOPLE THERE JUST TO USE THE COMPUTERS? SO I'M NOT GONNA ASK YOU THOSE QUESTIONS TODAY.
THOSE QUESTIONS I HAVE WITH ME, BECAUSE I, I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, THE, THE, WE'VE, YOU KNOW, WITH OTHER LIBRARIES, WE, WE'VE ASKED THOSE HARD QUESTIONS AND, AND WHAT, WHAT THE COUNTY IS WILLING TO SUPPORT AND LACKS TO SUPPORT IS PEOPLE THAT COME AND CHECK OUT A BOOK AND, AND, AND READ IT.
UH, NOT PEOPLE THAT COME THERE AND NECESSARILY USE OTHER SERVICES.
SO, SO I, I'LL, UH, I, I, AGAIN, I DON'T WANNA PUT YOU ON THE SPOT TODAY, BUT, BUT SURE.
THIS IS BE GORMAN, SHE'S THE DIRECTOR OF THE, THE LIBRARY, AND SHE CAN ANSWER SOME OF THOSE QUESTIONS.
SO THE, THE BREAKOUT THAT WE GAVE YOU ON THE SHEET OF PAPER DOES INCLUDE SPECIFICALLY CHECKOUTS, AND WHEN IT'S TALKING ABOUT ACTIVE PATRONS, IT MEANS PATRONS WHO ARE CHECKING OUT.
SO IT'S NOT INCLUDING THE OTHER SERVICES.
THAT SAID, IT DOESN'T DISCRIMINATE BETWEEN, UM, BOOKS AND MOVIES.
WE DON'T HAVE MUSIC AT OUR LIBRARY.
UM, I'D HAVE TO DO SOME SEPARATE REPORTS TO GET THAT.
SO I, I AND, AND I, I DIDN'T WANT TO ASK YOU, BUT I WANTED TO TELL YOU THAT THAT'S SOMETHING IN THE FUTURE WE MIGHT ASK, LIKE PEOPLE THAT ARE JUST COMING THERE FOR OTHER THINGS, OTHER THAN TO READ A BOOK OR CHECK A BOOK OUT.
WE DISCUSSED THIS DURING ALLOCATIONS, DIDN'T WE? WE DID.
AND WE AGREED THAT WHILE THIS IS SIMILAR TO AN ITEM THAT WE'VE TAKEN A DIFFERENT APPROACH ON IN THE PAST, THERE WERE SOME EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES ON TIMING AND THINGS LIKE THAT, THAT WE FELT LIKE IT MADE SENSE TO FUND THIS FOR THE CURRENT FISCAL YEAR.
UM, WHAT OTHER CITY FUNCTIONS FOR THIS CITY OR FOR OTHER CITIES DO WE SUPPORT LIKE THIS?
[00:10:02]
IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE? SPRING TOWN, WE HAVE AEL AND SPRING TOWN LIBRARIES, AAL, SPRING TOWN LIBRARIES.AND THEN OUTSIDE OF LIBRARIES, ARE THERE ANY OTHER CITY FUNCTIONS THAT WE FUND TO THIS DEGREE? LARRY? UM, WOULD YOU, HOW WE HANDLE WEATHERFORD AND COVER THAT SO WELL? YEAH.
WEATHERFORD'S A DIFFERENT SITUATION, BUT, UM, AND I'M, I ALREADY KNOW THE ANSWER, BUT, UH, THERE IS NO CHARGE FOR OUT OF, UH, OUT OF THE CITY LIMIT OF ALITO USERS.
AND SO ANYBODY IN PARKER COUNTY OR OUTSIDE OF THE COUNTY FOR THAT MATTER, CAN COME AND USE YOUR LIBRARY.
AND JUST, JUST TO ADD TO THAT, UM, WHEN WE'VE HAD THAT CONVERSATION WITH CITY COUNCIL, CITY COUNCIL AS WELL AS STAFF, WE'VE MADE IT CLEAR THAT WE HAVE NO INTENTION OF CHARGING FOLKS WHO LIVE OUTSIDE THE CITY OF ALITO.
SO, UH, EVERYBODY AND ANYBODY IS WELCOME.
SO TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, COMMISSIONER, NO, IT'S, IT'S ONLY LIBRARIES.
AND, UH, I THINK THE, UH, THE REASON THAT THESE WERE IN PLACE IS TO SU SUPPORT LEARNING AND SUPPORT THOSE THAT MIGHT NOT HAVE OTHER OPPORTUNITIES FOR, UH, FOR MEDIA OF THIS TYPE.
UM, BUT WE RECOGNIZE THAT LIBRARIES ARE CHANGING VERY RAPIDLY.
AND, UH, I WANT YOU TO RECOGNIZE THAT WE'RE AWARE OF THAT TOO.
SO BE CAREFUL WITH YOUR STATISTICS BECAUSE WE'RE GONNA ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT 'EM.
AND IF, IF THOSE INCLUDE THOSE INTERACTIONS INCLUDE PEOPLE THAT COME THERE ON A REGULAR BASIS, UM, UH, IN LIEU OF OTHER LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES, WE'RE GONNA ASK YOU ABOUT THAT TOO.
SO IT'S JUST ACCOUNTABILITY OF THE TAXPAYER.
THE ACCOUNTABILITY THAT COMES WITH TAKING TAXPAYER DOLLARS.
I WOULD LIKE TO RAISE ONE POINT ON THAT.
UM, I THINK I AM FIRMLY IN COMMISSIONER WALDEN'S CAMP IN THE SENSE THAT IF SOMEBODY'S RENTING A, A GREAT HOLIDAY MOVIE, LIKE DIEHARD, UM, THAT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN RENTING AN EDUCATIONAL VIDEO ABOUT HOW COUNTY GOVERNMENT WORKS, FOR EXAMPLE.
SO MY QUESTION IS THIS, DO YOU DIFFERENTIATE ON THE MOVIE SIDE BETWEEN EDUCATIONAL MOVIES AND ENTERTAINMENT BASED MOVIES? WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO RUN THE STATISTICS FOR NONFICTION DDS VERSUS FICTION.
SO WHETHER YOU WANNA ARGUE THAT SOME OF THE FICTION ONES ARE ALSO EDUCATIONAL VEGGIE TALES OR SOMETHING, THAT'S A WHOLE NOTHER ARGUMENT.
BUT IF IT IS NONFICTION, WE CAN AT LEAST RUN THAT SEPARATELY.
IF, IF SOMEONE'S RENTING A VIDEO THAT'S CLEARLY SUPPORTING LEARNING, I WOULDN'T MIND PERSONALLY THOSE TO BE INCLUDED IN THIS TYPE OF INFORMATION.
BUT THE, THE STRICTLY ENTERTAINMENT BASED ONES, I THINK THERE'S, THERE'S A SOLID ARGUMENT TO BE MADE.
LET'S, LET'S NOT INCLUDE THOSE IN THE STATISTICS.
SO SORRY FOR THE SCRUTINY, 'CAUSE WE MAY NOT GIVE THAT TO SOME OTHERS, BUT YOU'RE HERE, YOU'VE PROVIDED US WITH, WITH STATISTICS, WE'RE GONNA ASK YOU ABOUT 'EM.
I LIKE IT THAT YOU'RE NOT CHARGING OUTSIDE PEOPLE TO COME IN VERY MUCH.
OKAY, ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR.

[00:15:01]
UM, KIND OF AS A ONE-OFF BASIS AND TESTED THESE HEAVILY.AND, UM, THEY PROBABLY DON'T MEET THE NEEDS OF FIRE OR SHERIFF WHERE YOU HAVE TO HAVE DARN NEAR A HUNDRED PERCENT RELIABILITY.
BUT WE TOOK THEM FROM ONE END OF THE COUNTY TO THE OPPOSITE CORNER OF THE COUNTY, SO THE NORTHWEST PART OF OUR PRECINCT TO THE SOUTHEAST PART OF YOUR PRECINCT AND HAD FANTASTIC SERVICE.
AND THEY'RE ABOUT TWO ZEROS LESS THAN THE NORMAL RADIOS THAT, UH, THAT THAN THE $10,000 RADIOS THAT WE NORMALLY HAVE TO GET.
SO THE, THE PRICING IS FANTASTIC AND THE SERVICE APPEARS TO BE EXCELLENT AS WELL FOR WHAT WE NEED.

[5.A. Discuss/Take action on proposed TxDOT truck detour route from US 180 onto RWMH. (Chris Bosco / Judge Deen)]
ITEM FIVE ON THE UPDATE ON TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS.UNDER ITEM A DISCUSS, TAKE ACTION ON PROPOSED TEXT TRUCK DUE TO A ROUTE FROM US 180 ONTO, UH, RHMH.
LET'S GET, THIS SHOULD BE AN INFORMATIVE DISCUSSION ON THIS.
UM, SO THIS FIRST ITEM IS, UM, SO OC IS, OH, LET'S SEE.
UH, OC IS PLANNING A, A PROJECT TO IMPROVE, UH, 180.
YOU'LL SEE THIS EXHIBIT, IT KIND OF ZOOMS INTO THE COURTHOUSE, BUT IF YOU LOOK BELOW THAT, THE PROJECT ACTUALLY EXTENDS OUT TO SPUR THREE 12, UH, AND THROUGH THE COURTHOUSE, UH, TO DO, UH, IMPROVEMENT, UH, THEY'RE GONNA IMPROVE THE PAVEMENT, BUT LARGELY LIKE NEW SIDEWALKS, THEY'RE PLANNING A ROUNDABOUT AT, UH, SPUR THREE 12.
BUT WHAT THEY'RE ASKING FOR CONCURRENCE, UH, FROM THE COUNTY IS DURING THE CONSTRUCTION OF THIS PROJECT, UH, THEY'RE INTERESTED IN, UH, ROUTING THE TRUCK TRAFFIC ON THE LOOP.
UH, SO THIS IS KIND OF ENGINEERING DRAWING, BUT THERE WOULD STILL
[00:20:01]
BE COMMUTER TRAFFIC ABLE TO USE 180 WHILE THEY'RE WORKING ON, UH, THAT PROJECT.BUT THAT THE HEAVIER TRUCK TRAFFIC, THEY'RE LOOKING TO DETOUR ON THE, UH, LOOP.
AND SO, UH, ULTIMATELY, UH, THEY'VE SENT A LETTER, UH, TO YOU GUYS AND THEY'RE ANTICIPATING ABOUT SIX MONTHS, UM, DURATION THAT THEY WOULD BE LOOKING TO REROUTE THE TRUCK TRAFFIC.
AND SO, UM, WHAT THIS ITEM WOULD BE IS GETTING APPROVAL FROM THE COURT, UH, FOR THE JUDGE TO SIGN THIS CONCURRENCE.
UH, THAT, THAT Y'ALL ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE LOOP WILL NEED TO BE USED FOR TRUCK TRAFFIC DURING THE CONSTRUCTION, UH, OF THE 180 PROJECT.
COMMISSIONER HALE, YOU GONNA ENFORCE THAT? I WANT TO ENFORCE IT, BUT MAY IT'LL HELP IMPROVE OUR LONGEVITY TO LIVE AROUND HERE.
SO IT, IT, THIS WOULD BE, YOU KNOW, IT'S KIND OF TYPICAL OF OTHER PROJECTS WE DO.
WHEN YOU GET INTO CONSTRUC, IT'S NOT REALLY TURNING, THERE'S NO ABILITY FOR A TRUCK TO MO, YOU KNOW, MOVE IN THERE.
MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER CONLEY, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER HALE.
ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? I, I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION.
WHY EXACTLY DO WE HAVE TO SIGN THIS ORDER? I MEAN, IS, SO IT'S REALLY, THERE'S NOTHING, IT'S, IT'S MORE KIND OF A COURTESY THING THAT I'M SURE WEATHERFORD WOULD BE DOING IT AS WELL.
IT'S 'CAUSE THE, THE STATE ROADS ARE OBLIGATED TO PROVIDE TRUCK ROUTES.
UH, AND SO, YOU KNOW, SINCE, UH, THE LOOP IS TECHNICALLY PRIVATE OR NOT PRIVATE, A PUBLIC NON-STATE FACILITY, UH, IT'S NOT THAT TRUCKS CAN'T USE THAT, BUT FOR THEM TO ROUTE THEM ON YOUR ROAD.
YOU KNOW, IT, IT'S GOOD TO HAVE COURT ACTION ON THAT.
THE REASON I WANNA CLARIFY IS OBVIOUSLY THE COURT APPROVED THE LOOP LONG BEFORE MYSELF OR COMMISSIONER HALE WE'RE ON HERE.
UM, THE INTENTION OF THE COURT, AS I UNDERSTAND IT, WAS THAT THAT WOULD BE A TRUCK ROUTE TO WHATEVER INFORMAL DEGREE.
I MEAN, IT WAS TO GET TRAFFIC OFF OF THE SQUARE THAT DOESN'T NEED TO BE ON THE SQUARE.
AND THE, AND THE, THE EARLY PLANNING OF THE, OF THE LOOP, THE IDEA WAS THAT THE CORE ROADS WERE GONNA NOT BE STATE ANYMORE AND THE STATE WAS GONNA TAKE OVER THE LOOP.
BUT THAT, THAT'S KIND OF CHANGED, ALTHOUGH IT STILL WOULD SERVE THE PURPOSE TO MOVE TRUCK TRAFFIC.
ITEM B, DISCUSS THE ACTION ON FUNDING.
DOES THAT OPEN US UP TO ANY ADDITIONAL FUNDING IF AND WHEN WE PLAN TO EXPAND THE LOOP, MAKE IT WIDER? UM, I, I DON'T THINK THAT SPECIFICALLY 'CAUSE A PRETTY SHORT DURATION.
UH, WE DESIGNED THE LOOP TO CARRY TRUCK TRAFFIC, SO WE'RE NOT ANTICIPATING IT WOULD CAUSE ANY DAMAGE.
UM, UH, SO, YOU KNOW, I, NOT THAT SPECIFIC ITEM PROBABLY DOESN'T AFFECT WHAT Y'ALL ALREADY HAVE IN THE WORKS FROM A FUNDING PERSPECTIVE.
[5.B. Discuss/Take action on funding source for Kelly Road (South). (Chris Bosco / Commissioner Hale)]
DISCUSS, DISCUSS, TAKE ACTION ON FUNDING SOURCE FOR KELLEY ROAD SOUTH CHRIS.UM, SO ON, UH, SEPTEMBER 23RD COURT, UM, WE BROUGHT THIS WORK AUTHORIZATION FOR SOUTH, UH, KELLY ROAD, UH, FOR THE ENGINEERING SERVICES.
AND YOU'LL SEE THIS NOTE AT THE BOTTOM IS, UH, AT THE TIME, UH, IT WAS APPROVED, WE WERE, UH, INTENDING TO USE ARPA FUNDS FOR THIS PROJECT.
UH, BUT LASTLY, UH, LEARNED THAT ARPA FUNDS WE CAN'T KIND OF, UH, CO-MINGLE THE, THE BOND FUNDS AND THE ARPA FUNDS.
UH, AND SO WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR TODAY IS BASICALLY WE HAVE BUDGET IN THE PROGRAM FOR THIS PROJECT, AS WAS ORIGINALLY THAT WE JUST WANT TO GET CLARIFICATION APPROVAL FROM COURT THAT WE'RE NOT GONNA USE ARPA FUNDS.
WE'RE GONNA USE THE BOND FUNDS FOR THIS KELLY ROAD MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER HALE, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER CONLIN.
ANY OF THAT DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR.
[5.C. Discuss/Take action on Ellis Creek Subdivision Constmction Management and Inspection work authorization. (Chris Bosco / Commissioner Holt)]
DISCUSS, TAKE ACTION ON ELLIS CREEK SUBDIVISION CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT AND INSPECTION WORK AUTHORIZATION RISK.UM, SO THIS IS, UH, Y'ALL PREVIOUSLY APPROVED, UH, THE CONSTRUCTION, UH, WITH A CONTRACTOR FOR THIS PROJECT.
AND, UH, WHAT THIS INCLUDES IS THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT INSPECTION AND MATERIALS TESTING, UH, FOR THE ELLIS CREEK SUBDIVISION.
UH, THE BUDGET FOR THIS WOULD BE 90,000 7 95.
UH, THIS WOULD BE FUNDED WITH PRECINCT TWO DISCRETIONARY FUNDS AS IT WAS A, A NEW PROJECT THAT WAS ADDED, UM, UH, TO THE PROGRAM.
MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER HOLT, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER CONLEY.
ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR.
[5.D. Discuss/Take action on Johnson Bend and Green Acres Engineering Design work authorization. (Chris Bosco / Commissioner Holt)]
D, DISCUSS, TAKE ACTION ON JOHNSON BEND AND GREEN ACRES ENGINEERING DESIGN WORK AUTHORIZATION.[00:25:01]
IS INCLUDED AS ONE OF THE BOND PROGRAMS, THE JOHNSON, BEN AND GREEN ACRES.UH, YOU KNOW, WE'VE ACQUIRED THE, THE, UH, THE PROPERTY FOR THIS PROJECT.
AND THERE'S ONE THING TO NOTE THIS, THIS INCLUDES THE, THE ENGINEERING SERVICES, BUT IT ALSO HAS ASBESTOS SURVEY.
UM, THE TOTAL COST FOR THIS WORK AUTHORIZATION WOULD BE 1 31 5 40.
UH, THIS IS INCLUDED IN THE PROGRAM.
MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER HOLT, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN.
ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR CARRIES FIVE OH, MOVE TO
[5.E. Discuss/Take action on Carter Road Engineering Design work authorization. (Chris Bosco / Judge Deen)]
ITEM E ON DISCUSS TAKE ACTION ON CARTER ROAD ENGINEERING DESIGN WORK AUTHORIZATION.UM, SO THIS IS FOR THE ENGINEERING ENVIRONMENTAL.
SO A COUPLE OF NOTES ON CARTER ROAD ON THE SHOW.
THE EXHIBIT, AS WE SHOWED IN THE PAST IS, UH, THIS IS A PROJECT Y'ALL HAVE IMPROVED THE ADVANCED FUNDING AGREEMENT WITH TECH STOCK ON TO DO THIS IS THE HIGHWAY SAFETY FUNDS, UH, FOR THIS PROJECT.
AND, UM, SO A COUPLE OF NOTES IS ON JULY 22ND, UH, Y'ALL APPROVED 37,290 THAT WAS FUNDED WITH PRECINCT TWO DISCRETIONARY FUNDS.
UH, THE AGREEMENT WITH TECH STOCK IS THAT THEY'RE GONNA MANAGE THE CONSTRUCTION AND BUILD THE PROJECT.
UH, THEY BUDGETED 2,504,000, UH, 442.
UH, WITH THIS WORK AUTHORIZATION WOULD APPROVE THE ENGINEERING, UH, SERVICES AND ENVIRONMENTAL, UH, THAT AMOUNT IS 180 2 940.
UH, AND THIS AMOUNT WOULD ACTUALLY BE FUNDED WITH, UH, THE JUDGE'S DISCRETIONARY FUNDS.
AND, AND ONE OF THE, UM, WHILE WE FEEL LIKE THIS WOULD BE A GOOD PROJECT FOR THAT, IT, IT KIND OF SPLITS TWO PRECINCTS.
SO IT'S RIGHT BETWEEN PRECINCT ONE AND TWO.
UH, IT'S ALSO A PROJECT THAT WAS ADDED AND HAS A LOT OF, UH, LEVERAGE WITH TECH STOCK.
AND SO, UH, COMMISSIONER HOLT AGREED THAT, YOU KNOW, KEEPING THE SURVEY UNDER PRECINCT TWO, UH, BUT THAT WITH THIS APPROVAL THAT THE 180 2 9 40 WOULD BE FUNDED WITH, UH, JUDGE'S DISCRETIONARY.
AND I WANT TO CLARIFY TOO, WHAT IS THE AMOUNTS OF THE JUDGE'S DISCRETIONARY THAT'S GONNA BE USED? UH, 'CAUSE IT WE'RE, WE'VE GOT TWO COMMISSIONERS THAT, THAT MY FIVES CURRENTLY WILL BE GOING TO.
CAN YOU ADDRESS THAT? YEAH, SO AT THIS POINT, UH, FOR THIS PROJECT, IT'S JUST 180 2 9 40.
THE, THE TOTAL OF YOUR DISCRETIONARY IS 3 MILLION IN THE PROGRAM, RIGHT? SO THIS IS THE ONLY AMOUNT APPLIED TO THIS PROJECT.
AND MIKE, WHAT IS THE AMOUNT ON YOURS STAYING, STAYING FOCUSED ON THE AGENDA ITEM HERE, BUT JUST WHAT WAS THE AMOUNT THAT WE'RE TALKING? WELL, I WOULD SAY TAKE 3 MILLION MINUS THAT AMOUNT, I'LL TAKE THE REST.
THAT'S, THAT'S NOT MY POINT HERE,
AND, AND HERE'S, HERE'S MY POINT OF THAT IS THAT I JUST WANNA BE CLEAR WITH THE, THE JUDGE'S DISCRETIONARY FUNDS, UH, COMMISSIONER WALDEN AND COMMISSIONER CONLEY, UM, THERE IS A REMAINDER OF THOSE AND TRYING TO BE FAIR WITH THESE AND TRYING TO DISPERSE THESE TO Y'ALL'S SUPPORT.
SO JUST TO LET YOU KNOW THAT AND WE'LL STAY ON TRACK WITH THAT AND PLEASE KEEP UP WITH THAT SO WE CAN ADDRESS THAT AND LET THEM KNOW THAT AS THEY BIND THESE PROJECTS, LIKE WHAT, UH, COMMISSIONER HOLT HAS AND COMMISSIONER HALE, I WANNA BE FAIR WITH THESE FUNDS AND DISPERSING THOSE OUT EQUALLY TO THESE, UH, COMMISSIONER SOME.
AND ONE OF THE ITEMS I WAS GONNA ADD TO THE MONTHLY REPORT IS A DISCRETIONARY BALANCE, SO Y'ALL WOULD SEE THAT TRACK.
ON THIS ITEM DEAL, I MOTION IS MADE BY COMMISSIONER HOL, THE SECOND BY COMMISSIONER CONLEY.
IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT YOU KEEP UP WITH WHO GETS WHAT.
[5.F. Discuss/Take action on budget transfer for project (5.02) SH 199 Intersection at Poolville Cutoff Road. (Chris Bosco / Commissioner Holt)]
ITEM.YOU GOT, YEAH, I HAVE DISCUSSION.
TAKE ACTION ON BUDGET TRANSPORT FOR PROJECT 5.02 SH 1 99 INTERSECTION AT VILLE CUTOFF ROAD.
UM, SO A COUPLE THINGS ON THIS.
SO, UH, WHEN WE WERE PLANNING THE BOND PROGRAM, THERE WAS TWO PROJECTS, UH, THAT WERE MEANT AS PARTNERSHIPS WITH TECH STOCK, UH, ACTUALLY, UH, RESIDING IN PRECINCT TWO, ALTHOUGH THE 1 99 VILLE CUTOFFS KIND OF ON THE, THE BORDER THERE.
UM, SO ORIGINALLY WE HAD BUDGETED 500,000 FOR THE 1 99 VILLE CUTOFF.
AND, AND THAT MONIES WAS INTENDED TO BE, TO DO THE DESIGN AND TO DO A COST MATCH WITH TECH STOCK.
UH, HOWEVER, IT GOT FUNDED WITH HIGHWAY SAFETY FUNDS, WHICH MEANT THAT THERE'S NO MATCH THAT BASICALLY THE COUNTY WAS JUST, UH, NEEDED TO PROVIDE THE DESIGN.
SO, UH, THE DESIGN SERVICES FOR THAT PROJECT WAS 48,860, LEAVING A, UH, REMAINDER OF, OF 451,140 FOR THE 1 99 PROJECT.
[00:30:02]
UM, AT THE SAME TIME ON THE NINE 20 TURN LANES, THAT WAS A PROJECT THAT WE WERE LOOKING TO GET, UH, STATE FUNDS TO BUILD, BUT ULTIMATELY THE TIMELINES WEREN'T WORKING OUT.SO WHAT WE PUT IN THE BOND PROGRAM WAS THE COUNTY WAS GOING TO DO A RIGHT TURN LANE, AND THAT'S WHY WE BUDGETED, UH, 500,000 FOR THAT PROJECT.
AND THEN AS WE WERE STUDYING IT, UH, A LEFT TURN WAS REQUIRED.
AND SO, UH, THAT PROJECT INCLUDED A LEFT AND RIGHT TURN THAT WAS FULLY FUNDED, UH, BY PRECINCT TWO.
UH, THAT TOTAL NUMBER WAS 1,000,101, UH, 976, UH, TO BUILD THAT PROJECT.
AND SO WHAT I'M SEEKING APPROVAL FOR TODAY IS APPROVAL TO TRANSFER THE REMAINING 4 51 1 40 TO THE NINE 20 TURN LANE PROJECT.
UH, SO THAT WOULD BRING US UP TO 951,140.
AND THEN THE REMAINDER 150,836 WOULD COME FROM PRECINCT TWO DISCRETIONARY.

SO, UH, HOPEFULLY WE'LL HAVE A BIG TREE UP BY THEN.
ALL IN FAVOR? CARRIE FIVE VOTE.
I WANNA MOVE DOWN TO ITEM SIX D.
I THINK SHE MIGHT HAVE STEPPED OUT THOUGH.
DID SHE STEP OUT? SHE STEPPED OUT.
SO, OKAY, I'LL JUST CONTINUE ON UNDER ITEM

[00:35:01]
WE ARE REQUESTING THE COURT TO APPROVE A LUMP LUMP SUM PAYMENT TO TCRS, UM, FROM FUND 10.THE TOTAL IS 53,632 AND 81 CENTS.
AND SO THIS IS ALREADY FUNDS THAT ARE BUDGETED, UM, FOR RETIREMENT.
AND SO WHAT CREATES, UM, THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BUDGET AND ACTUAL IS IF FOR NEW POSITIONS THAT AREN'T FUNDED AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR, SOMEONE MAY NOT BE PAID AT BUDGET OR AGAIN, JUST, UM, IF YOU'VE HAD A VACANCY AND THEN FILLING THAT POSITION WILL CREATE THOSE, UM, VARIANCES.
AND SO WHAT THIS DOES IS IT HELPS TO, UM, IMPROVE OUR FUNDING RATIO FOR TCRS.
AND THEN OF COURSE, EACH YEAR BECKY PRESENTS OUR REQUIRED RATE.
AND SO AGAIN, IT HELPS TO SMOOTH THIS OUT ANY SORT OF ADDITIONAL PAYMENTS WE MAKE TO TCRS.
MOTION MOVED BY COMMISSIONER CONLEY, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER HALE.

WE'VE ALREADY DONE THE AGREEMENT, WE JUST HAVE TO HAVE IT SIGNED.
UH, WE DISCUSSED IT, UH, AT THE OTHER COMMISSIONER'S MEETING AND, UH, IT WAS APPROVED, BUT WE NOW HAVE TO GET IT SIGNED SO I CAN GET THE SIGNATURE AND THEN GET IT TO GALT PICKARD BECAUSE THAT'S WHO WE CHOSE TO GO WITH.
SOUNDS TO ME LIKE WE'VE ALREADY APPROVED THIS.
AND SO WE JUST NEED TO GET AUTHORIZATION FOR SIGNATURE.
SO, BECAUSE WE HAVE, UH, SO MOVED.

[6.E. Order 24-18 for the disposition by cremation of a pauper and authorize payment of $850 to Galbreaith Pickard Funeral Chapel & Cremation Services for disposition of an indigent person. (Traci Bennett / Judge Deen)]
E ON THE ORDER.24 DASH 18 FOR THE DISPOSITION BY CREMATION OF A POPPER AND AUTHORIZED PAYMENT OF $850 TO GOBERT PICKER FUNERAL CHAPEL AND CREMATION SERVICES FOR DISPOSITION OF INDIGENT PERSON.
WE'VE HEARD THE, THE, UH, PRESENTATION ON THAT.
SO COMMISSIONER HOLD HAS MADE THE MOTION SECOND BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN.
IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR CARRIES FIVE.
[6.H. Deny payment to Frontier Communications in the amount of $479.66 for Claim Number TXDP2485030. (Commissioner Conley)]
DENY PAYMENT TO FRONTIER COMMUNICATIONS AND THE AMOUNT OF 4 79 66 FOR CLAIM NUMBER TXDP 2 4 8 5 0 3 OH.WE'RE GONNA HAVE A LOT OF THESE SINCE THEY PUT IN THAT FIBER OPTIC LINE AND THEY DIDN'T PUT IT AS DEEP AS THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO.
SO I'M GONNA MOVE THAT WE DON'T PAY THAT MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER CONNELLEY.
THREE OR FOUR INCHES UNDER THE GROUND.
ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? FOLLOW FAVOR.
[6.I. Discuss/Take action on executing agreement with Texas Runs on Water for a partnership/media campaign to promote water conservation in Parker County and take any other action as necessary. (Commissioner Holt)]
TO ITEM I DISCUSS, TAKE ACTION AND EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT WITH TEXAS RUNS ON WATER FOR A PARTNERSHIP MEDIA CAMPAIGN TO PROMOTE WATER CONSERVATION IN PARKER COUNTY AND TAKE ANY ACTION AS NECESSARY.THIS IS THE SAME ITEM THAT WE'VE DISCUSSED BEFORE, UM, A COUPLE OF TIMES.
THIS IS SIMPLY TO PARTNER WITH TEXAS.
[00:40:01]
ON WATER.OUR COMMITMENT IS, UH, $15,000 FROM US, $15,000 FROM THE UPPER TRINITY GROUNDWATER CONSERVATION.
HOWEVER, UPPER TRINITY'S FISCAL DOESN'T TURN OVER TILL JANUARY ONE.
SO MY PROPOSAL WOULD BE THAT WE WOULD PAY THE ENTIRE $30,000 SUBJECT TO AN AGREEMENT WITH THE UPPER TRINITY THAT UPON THE TURNING OVER OF THEIR FISCAL ON JANUARY ONE, THEY WOULD REIMBURSE US THAT $15,000.
DO YOU AGREE TO THAT? UH, WE CAN'T EXTEND CREDIT, SO WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO, BUT I THINK THERE'S OTHER TANKS THAT ARE GONNA BE PURCHASED THAT WE COULD PROBABLY THIS, THIS, THIS ISN'T THAT, THIS THE SOCIAL MEDIA, UM, GENERATION OF A MARKETING CAMPAIGN TO HELP PARKER COUNTY RESIDENTS UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF WATER CONSERVATION.
SO MY RECOLLECTION IS THAT WE BUDGETED $30,000 FOR THIS, AND THEN IF THEY WANNA COME BACK AND, AND GIVE US HALF OF THAT LATER, THEN WE CAN ACCEPT IT.
I GUESS THAT WOULD BE THE QUESTION IS IF WE'RE FUNDING IT ALL WITH ARPA FUNDS, COULD WE, WITH THE REIMBURSEMENT THEN PUTTING IT BACK IN THE GENERAL FUND? I DON'T, WHY DON'T WE JUST WAIT TILL JANUARY 1ST AND BECAUSE WE HAVE TO HAVE AN EXECUTED AGREEMENT BY DECEMBER 30TH TO OBLIGATE, THOSE OFFICE WOULD SEEM IT MIGHT BE POSSIBLE FOR THEM TO JUST DONATE 15,000 TOWARD THE PROJECT AFTER THE FACT OR ADD TO THE PROJECT.
SO ESSENTIALLY MIGHT BETTER TO ADD, GO AHEAD AND FUND IT COMPLETELY.
SO THE, UH, MOTION IS MADE BY COMMISSIONER HOLD SECOND IS MADE BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN.
CAN I, UM, INDULGE ME ON THIS? CAN I CLARIFY YOUR MOTION, SIR? $30,000.
FROM PAR FOR TEXAS RUGS ON WATER.
ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL MY FAVOR.
[6.J. Discuss/Take action on adding language to the County's Subdivision Rules that Commissioners Court may require, as discussed in Texas Water Code 35.019, a developer to put in a water supply system for one or more lots in a new subdivision based on reasonable water availability concerns specific to that subdivision and the surrounding areas. (Commissioner Holt)]
THAT ACTION ON ADDING LANGUAGE TO THE COUNTY SUBDIVISION RULES THAT COMMISSIONER'S COURT MAY REQUIRE AS SUCCESS BY TEXAS WATER CODE 35.019, A DEVELOPER TO PUT IN A WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM FOR ONE OR MORE LOTS IN A NEW SUBDIVISION BASED ON REASONABLE WATER AVAILABILITY.CONCERN SPECIFIC TO THAT SUBDIVISION AND THE SURROUNDING AREAS.
THIS IS A PRETTY SIMPLE CHANGE THAT TRIGGERS ONLY WHEN WE WANT IT TO TRIGGER.
THE TEXAS WATER CODE HAS LANGUAGE FOR A PRIORITY.
GROUNDWATER GROUNDWATER MANAGEMENT AREA, A PMA, WHICH WE'RE IN A PMA.
AND IN IT IT SAYS THAT IF COMMISSIONER'S COURT CHOOSES TO, WE CAN REQUIRE A WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM TO BE PUT IN FOR NEW SUBDIVISIONS.
THERE'S MULTIPLE BENEFITS TO A WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM.
UM, ONE SOURCE OF WATER MEANS THE RESIDENTS ARE CHARGED FOR THAT WATER, WHICH INHERENTLY LIMITS HOW MUCH THEY'RE GONNA USE.
NOW, ALL OF A SUDDEN, WHEN THERE'S A COST TO IT, BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO PAY INTO THE SYSTEM, IT MIGHT, UM, AFFECT THEIR BEHAVIOR.
THE OTHER HUGE BENEFIT TO A WATER SYSTEM IS THAT IT, IN THE EVENT THAT WATER IS EVER PIPED IN, IS JUST ONE POINT OF CONNECTION.
NOW FOR ALL OF THOSE HOMES, THE BENEFIT TO THIS LANGUAGE IS IT APPLIES ONLY AS WE DECIDE.
SO IN OTHER WORDS, THIS LANGUAGE IS ADDED TO OUR RULES, BUT DOES NOT GO INTO EFFECT ON A BLANKET BASIS.
SO IF WE FEEL LIKE A SUBDIVISION NEEDS IT BASED OFF OF FEEDBACK FROM THE OPPORTUNITY GROUNDWATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT OR SIMILAR AUTHORITIES, WE CAN IMPLEMENT IT.
IF WE DON'T FEEL LIKE IT NEEDS IT, THEN IT'S BUSINESS AS USUAL.
MOTION BE BY COMMISSIONER HOLT.
DO WE HAVE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND THAT.
BUT, UH, I, I, I DON'T KNOW WHAT CRITERIA WE'RE GONNA USE TO DETERMINE WHETHER THAT WE'RE REQUIRING SOMEBODY TO DO THAT OR NOT.
I'M JUST THINKING, DO WE NEED TO DO THIS? WOULD WE NOT HAVE THAT DISCRETION ANYWAY? WE DO NOT.
WE HAVE TO, WE HAVE TO ADOPT THIS LANG.
SO THE 35 0 1 9 OF THE TEXAS WATER CODE SAYS THAT WE CAN DO THIS IF WE HAVE THE LANGUAGE IN OUR SUBDIVISION RULES.
THIS IS SIMPLY ADDING THAT LANGUAGE TO THE SUBDIVISION RULES.
SO IT JUST GIVES US THE ABILITY TO DO WHAT THE LAW ALREADY SAYS, BUT IT DOES NOT REQUIRE US TO DO IT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE.
UH, AND I SWEAR YOU HAVE AN OPINION ABOUT THAT.
I BELIEVE PROBABLY WE NEED A HYDROLOGIST OR EVEN, UH, A BETWEEN GROUNDWATER DISTRICT TO SET THRESHOLDS.
SO IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT A DEVELOPER MIGHT GET AMBUSHED WITH AT A LATER POINT AFTER THEY PURCHASE PROPERTY THAT WAY THEY KIND OF KNOW GOING IN IF THEY PURCHASE PROPERTY, YOU KNOW, HERE'S THE THRESHOLD FOR WHAT MIGHT BE REQUIRED IF, IF THEY DON'T NEED IT.
THAT THAT WOULD BE ONE OF MY CONCERNS.
I'M TRYING TO THINK THROUGH HERE.
YEAH, YOU KNOW, THAT'S A, THAT COULD BE A, A VERY, VERY LARGE NUMBER TO A DEVELOPER.
YOU KNOW, IF THEY'RE NOT ANTICIPATING THIS, AND WHEN YOU'RE RUNNING PROFORMAS, EVALUATING DIFFERENT PROPERTIES TO
[00:45:01]
DO A DEVELOPMENT, THIS COULD BE A SIGNIFICANT COST COMPONENT.AND IF YOU'RE NOT CERTAIN UPFRONT IN THAT GRAY AREA CAN MAKE IT DIFFICULT.
I, I THINK THOSE ARE EXCELLENT POINTS.
UM, AMERICA WAS BUILT, AND I'M NOT TRYING TO DIATRIBE HERE, BUT WE WERE BUILT ON FREE ENTERPRISE, ON CAPITALISM, ON THE ABILITY OF A PRIVATE COMPANY TO MAKE MONEY.
AT THE SAME TIME, PARKER COUNTY'S IN A SOMEWHAT UNIQUE SITUATION IN THAT OUT OF 254 COUNTIES IN THE STATE, WE HAVE LED FOR ALMOST 10 YEARS STRAIGHT ON THE NUMBER OF PRIVATE WATER WELLS DRILLED.
WE DRILLED TWICE AS MANY PRIVATE WATER WELLS IN 2022 AS THE NEXT HIGHEST COUNTY.
SO WE WERE NUMBER ONE AND DRILLED TWICE AS MANY AS NUMBER TWO, GIVEN THAT THIS LANGUAGE EXISTS IN STATE LAW.
AND IT SIMPLY IS AS IT, IT IS AS SIMPLE AS US PUTTING INTO OUR RULES THAT WE MAY REQUIRE IT BASED OFF OF SPECIFIC WATER CONCERNS FOR THAT LOCAL DEVELOPMENT.
I DO THINK US ENGAGING WITH THE UPPER TRINITY AND HAVING A SCIENCE BACKED, UM, APPROACH IS EXCELLENT.
IN FACT, THE UPPER TRINITY'S ALREADY WORKING ON THAT AND WE'LL PRESENT THAT AT THE JANUARY SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS COMMITTEE.
BUT PUTTING THIS LANGUAGE IN NOW ALLOWS US TO HAVE THIS TOOL IN OUR TOOL BELT TO USE AS NEEDED.
BUT AGAIN, IT WOULD TAKE CONSENT OF THE COURT.
IT WOULDN'T BE AN INDIVIDUAL DECISION BY AN INDIVIDUAL COMMISSIONER.
I THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA FOR THE AREAS WHERE THERE'S NOT MUCH WATER.
THIS, THIS WOULDN'T APPLY PROBABLY NO TO NEARLY ANY OF RIGHT Y'ALL'S PRECINCTS, BUT FOR US IN THE WEST, IT'S SOMETHING WE, WE ALL DISCUSSED.
WHO, WHO'S GONNA DECIDE IS MY PROBLEM.
WELL, AND I I'M LOOKING AT IT FROM, UH, THAT'D BE US, SIR.
I'M SUPPOSING IT WOULD BE, I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW.
I QUALIFIED TO DETERMINE WHETHER WATER THERE OR NOT.
WELL, AND THE UPPER TRINITY, I'VE TALKED TO DOUG ABOUT THIS.
DOUG IS MORE THAN HAPPY TO HELP US WITH THIS AND GIVE US THIS RECOMMENDATION.
BUT IT WOULD BE A DECISION OF THE COURT AS AS A WHOLE.
AND AGAIN, THIS LANGUAGE, ADDING THIS LANGUAGE DOES NOT MAKE US CHANGE.
WELL, WE CAN, WE CAN VOTE AGAINST IT IF WE DON'T LIKE IT THAT PARTICULAR SUBDIVISION.
AND IT DOESN'T, NOTHING'S TRIGGERED BY THIS LANGUAGE.
WE DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS NOW THAT WE PUT THIS IN.
THIS JUST GIVES US ONE MORE OPTION IN THE EVENT THAT THE UPPER TRINITY SAYS, HEY, THAT SUBDIVISION, THERE'S KIND OF, SORT OF ENOUGH WATER THERE, BUT YOU REALLY NEED A WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM.
WE CAN'T REQUIRE THAT RIGHT NOW BECAUSE WE WITHOUT THIS LANGUAGE.
SO THIS TYPE OF WATER SYSTEM, THEM IS YOUR IDEA THAT THEN WE'D HAVE A COMMERCIAL WATER? WELL, THAT IS FOR THAT DEVELOPMENT.
THERE'S, THERE'S PLENTY OF DEVELOPMENTS IN PARKER COUNTY THAT DO IT RIGHT NOW.
AND SO THE IDEA IS THERE'S A BUNCH OF 'EM, BUT YEAH.
BUT I THINK COMMISSIONER CONY IS VERY FAMILIAR WITH IT.
THAT PUTS IT UNDER THE PURVIEW OF THE UPPER TRINITY FROM A MANAGEMENT AND AN OVERSIGHT OF HOW MUCH WATER THEY'RE USING.
RESIDENTS DIDN'T PAY TO MAINTAIN THAT SYSTEM, WHICH TENDS TO ADJUST BEHAVIOR INTO MORE CONSERV, UH, CONSERVATIVE PRACTICES.
AND THEN AGAIN, IF WATER IS PIPED IN AT SOME POINT ALONG A HIGHWAY OR SOMETHING, IT, IT ALLOWS ONE POINT OF ACCESS.
BUT IT WOULD COST THAT DEVELOPER SEVERAL THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS, YOU KNOW, HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ENGINEERED WELL WOULD COST FOR A WATER SYSTEM WOULD COST A MINIMUM OF $250,000.
HUNDREDS OF, AND PROBABLY ANOTHER HUNDRED OR SO TO INSTALL THE PIPELINE DEPENDING ON THE SIZE OF THE, THEY GOTTA BE LICENSED TO RUN THE WATER.
BUT I, MY PROBLEM IS WHO'S GONNA DECIDE? YEAH.
AND, AND I'LL TELL YOU THAT I'M TRYING TO STAY OUTTA THE COURTHOUSE AND, UH, IF YOU TELL ME ON MY PROPERTY THAT I CAN'T DEVELOP IT AND THAT I HAVE TO SPEND THREE OR 150 OR 450 $500,000 TO PUT A WATER SYSTEM IN, I'M GONNA FILE SUIT AGAINST PARKER COUNTY COUNSELOR.
I THINK PROBABLY THE BEST BET WOULD BE TO HAVE CRITERIA ONCE AGAIN.
BECAUSE ULTIMATELY, UH, IT MAY BE ARBITRARY IF WE CAN GRANT IT FOR ONE, NOT GRANT IT FOR ANOTHER.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT, UH, OPPORTUNITY GROUNDWATER DISTRICT'S GOING TO PROVIDE AS FAR AS DOCUMENTATION THAT WOULD JUSTIFY REQUIRING THIS.
I'M NOT SAYING THAT, THAT IT WOULDN'T BE GOOD INFORMATION.
BUT DOUG MIGHT HAVE A FLOOR IN WHICH, YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE ABOVE THIS FLOOR, THEN YOU'RE NOT GONNA BE REQUIRED TO HAVE THIS SYSTEM.
COULD BE A LOT OF INTERPRETATION, IS WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
SO MY INTERPRETATION OF THE, OF THE MEETING THAT WE HAD, UH, COMMISSIONER BACK WITH, UH, UH, FOLKS AT THE STATE LEVEL, THE ATTORNEY, UH, DR.
[00:50:01]
TRINITY AND THOSE FOLKS WAS THAT, THAT WE COULD REQUIRE AS OUR MINIMUM STANDARD A WATER SYSTEM LIKE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, WE COULD REQUIRE A PUBLIC WATER SYSTEM FOR EVERY SUBDIVISION, BUT IN LIEU OF THAT, WE COULD GIVE EXCEPTIONS, UH, AND ALLOW INDIVIDUALS, INDIVIDUAL WELLS IF THE, UH, DEVELOPER, UH, PUT INTO PLACE A SYSTEM WHERE THERE WOULD BE WATER HARVESTING FOR IRRIGATION OR ZEROSCAPE OR, OR THINGS OF THAT NATURE THAT DID NOT REQUIRE IRRIGATION, UH, AS AN EXCEPTION TO THE RULE.AND SO WE'D BE, WE'D BE SAYING THAT THE RULE IN PARKER COUNTY IS THAT YOU HAVE A WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM LIKE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.
BUT IF YOU, UH, CHOOSE NOT TO DO THAT, IF THERE'S ENOUGH WATER, UH, THAT, THAT YOU COULD JUST USE YOUR, WELL JUST FOR HOUSEHOLD USE AND NOT FOR IRRIGATION.
'CAUSE HOUSEHOLD USE IS SOMEWHERE IN THE 60, 70 GALLONS PER PERSON PER DAY.
AND, UH, THAT WAY WE COULD RESTRICT IRRIGATION FROM IT BECAUSE I'LL, I'LL, IT'S A GOOD TOOL TO HAVE.
DON'T MISUNDERSTAND, BUT I, I'M, I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE USING THE CORRECT METHODOLOGY TO GET THERE.
COMMISSIONER IS WHAT I'M TRYING TO, WHAT I'M TRYING TO GET TO, AND I, I, JOHN SAID IT, BUT I, I SOUND, I WANTED TO SAY ARBITRARY AND CAPRICIOUS, UH, BASED ON, UM, WHERE IT IS.
BECAUSE IF WE HAVE PEOPLE COME IN HERE AND I DON'T WANT THIS SUBDIVISION COMING IN NEXT TO ME, THEN THE EASY WAY OUT, THEN JUST SAY, WELL, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO PUT THIS WATER SYSTEM IN.
UM, UH, I, I'D LIKE TO, UH, EXPLORE FURTHER.
I'M NOT DISAGREEING WITH YOU AT ALL, DON'T MISUNDERSTAND.
BUT I WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE SET UP A SYSTEM THAT IS, UH, UH, CLEAR CUT SO THAT THERE'S NO ARBITRARY, UH, DECISIONS THAT ARE MADE AND WE KNOW WHAT THAT CRITERIA IS GOING UP FRONT SO THAT SOMEBODY THAT IS GONNA GO OUT HERE AND BUY ATTRACTIVE PROPERTY COULD DO TESTING ON IT AND SAY, YES, THIS IS GONNA REQUIRE WATER SYSTEM, OR, UH, I DON'T NEED ANYTHING AT ALL.
I'D LIKE TO KNOW AHEAD OF TIME WHAT THOSE ARE GONNA BE.
I'M NOT TRYING TO THROW ROCKS.
I'M, WE'RE ON THE SAME, UH, GOAL HERE.
OUR GOAL IS THE SAME, BUT THAT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT WE WERE ABLE TO ADOPT A SYSTEM OR, OR A RULE THAT WOULD REQUIRE A WATER SYSTEM THROUGHOUT PARKER COUNTY.
SO TO ADDRESS THE CONCERNS ABOUT BEING SUED.
UM, CHAPTER 35.019 OF THE TEXAS WATER CODE SAYS THAT THE WATER AVAILABILITY REQUIREMENTS ESTABLISHED BY COMMISSIONER'S COURT UNDER THIS SECTION MAY REQUIRE A PLANNED OR OPERATING WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM SERVING ONE OR MORE LOTS WITHIN A SUBDIVISION TO BE BUILT AND OPERATED IN COMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL ET CETERA LAW.
SO AGAIN, THIS, THIS LANGUAGE IN A SENSE DOES GIVE US THE ABILITY TO BE, UM, I DON'T WANT USE THE WORD ARBITRARY, BUT IT DOES GIVE US THE ABILITY TO PICK AND CHOOSE BASED OFF OF RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WE ADOPT FROM THE UPPER TRINITY GROUNDWATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT.
AND IT PROVIDES US VERY CLEAR PROTECTION UNDER STATE LAW BECAUSE WE ARE IN A PMA, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT NOT ALL COUNTIES HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO.
WE HAVE, UM, WE HAVE SPECIAL AUTHORITY BASED IN STATE LAW TO PROTECT OUR GROUNDWATER RESOURCES FOR ALL 180,000 CURRENT RESIDENTS AND HOWEVER MANY FUTURE RESIDENTS WE HAVE.
UM, AND SO THE LAW IN THAT SENSE IS ON OUR SIDE, BUT ONLY IF WE ADOPT LANGUAGE THAT GIVES THAT, THAT TAKES ADVANTAGE OF IT.
AND AGAIN, WE DON'T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING IF WE ADOPT THIS LANGUAGE.
WE DON'T EVER HAVE TO PUT IT INTO PLAY IF WE DON'T WANT TO.
IF WE DO ADOPT IT, THEN IT WOULD HAVE TO BE AT THE CONSENT OF THE ENTIRE COMMISSIONER'S COURT.
UM, SO IT'S NOT LIKE ONE COMMISSIONER, I'LL USE MYSELF AS THE EXAMPLE.
I CAN'T GO ROGUE AND START REQUIRING IT FOR ALL SUBDIVISIONS.
IT HAS TO BE AT THE CONSENT OF THE ENTIRE COURT.
NOT THE ENTIRE, FROM A UNANIMOUS STANDPOINT, BUT I THINK, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.
ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? I, I'VE GOT A COUPLE QUESTIONS ON WHAT DOES THIS DO TO DENSITY ON THOSE DEVELOPMENTS WITH A WATER SYSTEM? THEY CAN GO DOWN TO ONE ACRE PER LOTT IF THEY HAVE A WATER SYSTEM WITH A SEPTIC, CORRECT.
SO WE GET MORE DENSITY ON THESE ONE ACRE LOTS.
AND WHAT I WAS PROPOSING AND WHAT I MENTIONED THERE IS IF THEY HAD A WATER HARVESTING SYSTEM MM-HMM.
I'M ALL FOR US TRYING TO INCENTIVIZE AND PEOPLE BEING MINDFUL OF WATER CONSERVATION,
[00:55:02]
I REALLY AM, I'M SYMPATHETIC TO THOSE FOLKS THAT OWN PROPERTY THAT MIGHT WANT TO SELL THEIR PROPERTY TO THE DEVELOPER AT SOME POINT IN TIME.MAYBE IT'S THE FAMILY FARM AND NOW ALL OF A SUDDEN THE VALUE OF THEIR PROPERTY'S GETTING DIMINISHED.
SO THAT'S WHERE I'M HAVING SOME HEARTBURN ON THIS AND UNDERSTANDING, UH, A CLEAR DIRECTION HERE.
YEAH, I I THINK THAT MY, UM, I, I HEAR YOU THERE FOR SURE.
UM, I ALSO THINK THAT WE'RE IN SUCH A CRISIS WITH WATER AND WE'VE ALREADY SPENT SO MANY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS THAT AS A COUNTY, UM, THROUGH THE HYDROLOGY 2050.
I THINK IT'S, UH, I, I THINK WE NEED TO BALANCE THE CONCERNS OF FUTURE DEVELOPMENT AGAINST THE CONCERNS OF CONSERVING OUR WATER SUPPLIES.
AND SO I I THINK THERE'S A, THERE'S A TENSION THERE THAT WE HAVE TO KEEP BOTH IN MIND.
ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? SO, SO THIS YOUR MOTION.
CAN YOU RESTATE YOUR MOTION ON THIS? I WANT TO ADOPT LANGUAGE THAT SUBJECT TO INPUT FROM THE UPPER TRINITY GROUNDWATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT.
WE ADOPT IN OUR SUBDIVISION RULES, THE ABILITY THAT WE MAY REQUIRE, NOT SHALL, BUT MAY REQUIRE A PUBLIC OPERATED, A PLANNED OR OPERATING WATER SYSTEM SERVING ONE OR MORE LOTS WITHIN THE SUBDIVISION AS STATED IN 35.019 OF THE TEXAS WATER CODE A COUNSELOR.
SO I ALREADY FEEL THAT WE KNOW WHAT THE GROUNDWATER, WE KNOW WHAT DOUG SHAW AND THE GROUP'S GONNA SAY, AND THEN THAT'S GONNA PUT IT BACK TO US.
AND THEN IS THERE LIABILITY? WELL, JUST, JUST READING THIS, THIS STATUTE, UM, IT SAYS TO ADOPT WATER AVAILABILITY REQUIREMENTS.
SO WE HAVE TO PUT SOME REQUIREMENT IN PLACE.
IT'S NOT JUST, YOU KNOW, BASED ON WHAT THE OPPORTUNITY 'CAUSE THE OPPORTUNITY HAS, HAS A GUIDELINE THAT SAYS IF THESE CONDITIONS EXIST, OUR RECOMMENDATION IS GONNA BE GREATER THAN JUST PUTTING A WELL ON TWO ACRES.
AND SO I THINK OVERTRAINING NEEDS TO DEFINE, OR HYDROLOGIST NEEDS TO DEFINE IN PARKER COUNTY AREAS THAT MAY REQUIRE THESE TYPES OF SYSTEMS. BECAUSE IT'S TALKING ABOUT REQUIREMENTS, NOT JUST Y'ALL HAVE THE DISCRETION BASED ON SOMEONE'S RECOMMENDATION.
IT'S SAYING THE, THE STATE SENATOR'S OFFICE DISAGREES WITH THAT.
UM, THE WATER EXPERT IN THE STATE SENATOR'S OFFICE WHO'S AN ATTORNEY, SAYS THAT OUR AUTHORITY UNDER A PMA PRIOR TO GRAND WATER MANAGEMENT AREA IS FAR BROADER THAN STANDARD SUBDIVISION RULES.
AND THERE ARE OTHER COUNTIES THAT HAVE ADOPTED THIS LANGUAGE AND THEY'VE SAID KERR COUNTY, I BELIEVE IS ONE OF THEM.
IT'S EITHER KER OF LANCO, UM, HAVE SAID, HEY, IF WE WANT TO, WE'LL REQUIRE YOU TO DO A WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM.
AND THAT HAS BEEN, AS FAR AS I KNOW, NOT CHALLENGED IN COURT BECAUSE IT'S DOING EXACTLY WHAT THE LAW SAYS.
SO THIS IS SOMETHING THAT OTHER COUNTIES THAT DRILL FAR LESS WELLS THAN WE DO ALREADY HAVE IN PLACE AND ALREADY EXECUTE ON AN AS NEEDED BASIS.
UM, AND AND TO THAT POINT, WE DON'T ACTUALLY HAVE TO TAKE, WE DON'T HAVE TO BE SUBJECT TO THE UPPER TRINITY'S RECOMMENDATIONS ON THIS.
I THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA THAT WE ARE SO THAT TO COMMISSIONER WALDEN'S POINT, THERE'S HYDROLOGISTS INVOLVED AND IT'S NOT JUST A WILLY-NILLY ARBITRARY MATTER, BUT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S ALREADY TESTED IN STATE LAW.
AND, UH, THE STATE SENATOR'S OFFICE RECOMMENDS THAT WE IMPLEMENT THIS HEAVILY.
UM, 'CAUSE WE'VE ASKED THEM ABOUT LEGISLATION AND THE FEEDBACK FROM THEM HAS BEEN, UM, WE ARE HESITANT TO ADD ANY LEGISLATION SINCE YOU AREN'T ALREADY TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE LEGISLATION THAT'S CURRENTLY IN PLACE.
BUT JUST TO, IN, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'M REALLY READING THROUGH THIS, SO I, THIS FIRST GLANCE MAY BE WRONG, BUT YOU KNOW, BASICALLY UNDER ONE IT'S, IT SAYS, UM, BASICALLY THE COMMISSIONER COURT OF THE COUNTY IN A PMA MAY REQUIRE A PERSON SEEKING APPROVAL OF PLAT REQUIRED BY 2 32 TO SHOW COMPLIANCE WITH WATER AVAILABILITY REQUIREMENTS ADOPTED BY THE COURT.
[01:00:01]
WATER, A SUFFICIENT QUANTITY AND QUALITY IS AVAILABLE.I'M TALKING ABOUT CC TWO C SAYS THE WATER AVAILABILITY REQUIREMENTS ESTABLISHED BY COMMISSIONER'S COURT MAY REQUIRE THAT A PLANNED OR OPERATING WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM SERVING ONE OR MORE LOTS WITHIN A SUBDIVISION BE BUILT AND OPERATED IN COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS, FEDERAL, STATE, ET CETERA.
I'LL REITERATE, WE C C'S KIND OF TALKING ABOUT NOTIFYING THE PERSON PURCHASING A LOT.
ARE YOU UNDER OH ONE NINE? I'M UNDER OH ONE NINE.
BUT THEN IT GOES ON, THAT'S A HYPHEN TO NOTIFY THE PURCHASER OF A LOT IS WHAT THEY'RE SAYING THAT'S UNDER C ONE.
THERE'S AN OR IN BETWEEN THEM AT THE END OF ONE.
THIS IS, SO JUST TO BE CLEAR, THIS IS THE RECOMMENDATION FROM MADISON HUERTA AND SENATOR KING'S OFFICE WHEN WE DISCUSSED GETTING ADDITIONAL LEGISLATION PUT IN PLACE BECAUSE WE ARE IN SUCH A UNIQUE SITUATION.
AGAIN, IN 2022, WE HAD SOMEWHERE AROUND 1,290 PRIVATE WATER WELLS DRILLED IN PARKER COUNTY.
THE NUMBER TWO COUNTY HAD 586 PRIVATE WATER WELLS DRILLED IN THE COUNTY.
WE HAVE MORE THAN TWICE AS MANY WELLS DRILLED IN THE LAST FEW YEARS AS ANY OTHER COUNTY.
I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS UNUSUAL, BUT WE'RE IN AN UNUSUAL SITUATION, AND IF WE WANT WATER FOR OUR KIDS AND GRANDKIDS, WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO TAKE SOME SIGNIFICANT STEPS.
THIS IS A STEP THAT I UNDERSTAND COULD MAKE SOME PEOPLE NERVOUS, BUT IF, IF WE DON'T MAKE AT LEAST A FEW PEOPLE NERVOUS, WE'RE WE'RE GONNA END UP RUNNING OUTTA WATER.
WE POSSIBLY NEED A LITTLE TIME TO, I I LOOK INTO THIS A LITTLE FURTHER, JOHN.
I, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THE LEGAL AND MAKE REAL SURE THAT WE'RE LEGAL HERE IN WHAT WE'RE DOING.
IT MAKES ME NERVOUS, EXCUSE ME.
MAKES ME NERVOUS WHEN THAT WORD ARBITRARY CAME OUT.
SHOULD WE NOT ESTABLISH THOSE GROUND RULES AND WHAT THAT CRITERIA WOULD BE UPFRONT INSTEAD OF A CASE BY CASE? I'M JUST, THE LAW GIVES US THE ABILITY TO DECIDE ON A CASE.
IT'S JUST VERY, VERY ARBITRARY ON THAT.
AND THAT'S THE VAGUENESS OF THAT CONCERNS ME A LITTLE BIT.
I, UH, ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM? WE HAVE A MOTION.
WE DON'T, I WITHDREW MY SECOND.
DO WE HAVE A SECOND? AND, AND, BECAUSE I WOULD LIKE TO BRING IT BACK AT A LATER COURT SECOND.
IS THERE ANY OTHER SECOND THAT WANTS TO DO THIS? COMMISSIONER CONLEY HAS MADE THIS SECOND.
WELL, I WANT, I JUST WANT TO SAY SOMETHING IN AREAS WHERE THERE'S NOT MUCH WATER AND, AND YOU'RE TELLING 'EM THEY HAVE TO PUT IN A SYSTEM.
WELL, THERE'S STILL NOT MUCH WATER.
I MEAN, THE DEVELOPER WOULD HAVE TO PUT IN A HUGE STORAGE TANK TO HAVE SO MANY GALLONS PER FAMILY.
AND SO I DON'T KNOW HOW THIS HELPS MUCH.
SO IF YOU TALK TO DOUG SHAW, IT'S KIND OF A COUPLE DIFFERENT POINTS.
ONE IS ONE BIG WELL DOES LESS IMPACT TO THE AQUIFER THAN A BUNCH OF LITTLE SMALL WELLS ALL SPREAD AROUND.
IT HAS TO DO WITH KONA DEPRESSION AND ALL OF THAT.
AND HE CAN NERD OUT ON THE SCIENCE SIDE, BUT IT'S MORE EFFICIENT.
THE SECOND THING IS, WHEN YOU PUT IN A SYSTEM, IF YOU HAVE A RESIDENT IN THERE WHO WANTS TO WATER TWO ACRES AND KEEP IT GREEN IN AUGUST IN 113 DEGREES, THEY'RE GONNA PAY MORE MONEY TO DO THAT.
WHEREAS IF YOU DON'T HAVE A SYSTEM AND EVERYBODY'S PULLING UP THEIR OWN PRIVATE,
[01:05:01]
WELL, EVERYONE CAN DO THAT.SO THERE'S, THERE'S, BUT IF YOU GOT A SYSTEM THAT DOESN'T PRODUCE MUCH WATER, YOU SHOULDN'T ALLOW PEOPLE TO WATER THEIR GRASS.
IF YOU GOT A, WELL, ONE, WELL, THAT'S ONLY PRODUCING TWO GALLONS A MINUTE.
AND THAT GOES BACK TO US APPROACHING THE SENATOR'S OFFICE ASKING FOR ADDITIONAL LEGISLATIVE HELP AND THEM EFFECTIVELY SAYING, YOU'RE NOT USING, AND THIS IS ONE OF THE POINTS THAT THEY POINTED TO.
IT'S CURRENTLY WRITTEN IN A WAY TO HELP YOURSELVES.
WE'RE NOT GONNA PUSH FOR ADDITIONAL GOVERNMENT ABILITY TO ENFORCE, WHICH I RESPECT FROM A, FROM A CONSERVATIVE STANDPOINT, IF YOU'RE NOT GONNA USE THE LAWS THAT ARE IN PLACE RIGHT NOW, BUT WHOEVER'S RUNNING THAT SYSTEM, SHOULD'T ALLOW PEOPLE WATER.
WELL, THE TRINITY WOULD HAVE AUTHORITY TO SAY, UNLESS THEY DID THE RAINWATER COLLECTION BILL.
I KNOW A LOT OF AREAS THAT YOU CAN GET, ONLY GET ONE OR TWO GALLONS A MINUTE.
SO IS THAT SUFFICIENT TO RUN A HOUSEHOLD? ONLY IF YOU PUT IN A STORAGE TANK? IF YOU PUT A STORAGE TANK IN, YES.
SO, AND THAT, THAT WOULD THEN THERE'S NO RESTRICTION THEN IF YOU, IF YOU HAVE A WELL, THAT MAKES TWO GALLONS A MINUTE AND, UH, YOU CAN FILL YOUR STORAGE TANK UP.
YOU CAN WATER YOUR GRASS WITH IT.
THAT WAS MY POINT IN THE, IN THE DISCUSSION THAT I WAS HAVING, UM, ABOUT RESTRICTING THE OUTSIDE WATERING.
WELL, COMMON SENSE TELLS THAT PERSON THEY SHOULDN'T WATER.
I RECOGNIZE THAT COMMON SENSE FACTOR.
DON'T, BUT WE NEED SOMETHING IN PLACE THAT WOULD PREVENT IT.
YEAH, THAT'S WHAT WE ASKED THE SENATOR ABOUT.
AND THEY CAME BACK AND SAID, UNTIL YOU TAKE MORE ADVANTAGE OF THE LAWS THAT ARE ALREADY IN PLACE, THEY'RE NOT GONNA GO FIGHT TO CREATE ADDITIONAL ENFORCEMENT MECHANISMS. 'CAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THE ABILITY TO ENFORCE FROM A COUNTY PERSPECTIVE HOW MUCH WATER FOLKS USE ON THEIR LAWNS.
WE THAT THERE'S NOTHING IN THE LAW THAT SAYS THAT.
AN INDIRECT WAY WE CAN DO THAT IS BY REQUIRING A WATER SYSTEM, WHICH WE CAN'T CURRENTLY DO BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THIS LANGUAGE IN PLACE.
BUT IF WE PUT THIS LANGUAGE IN PLACE, WE CAN REQUIRE A WATERING SYSTEM, WHICH THEN WILL ATTACH A COST TO EXCESSIVE WATERING, WHICH CURTAILS BEHAVIOR BETTER THAN ANYTHING ELSE.
ACCORDING TO DOUG SHAW, I'D LIKE TO HEAR THE CRITERIA FOR THE DECISION TO REQUIRE THE WATER SYSTEM FROM WHOEVER WOULD BE MAKING THAT, THAT DECISION.
BUT, UM, THERE ARE HOUSES IN PARKER COUNTY AND SUBDIVISIONS THAT DON'T HAVE A WELL AT ALL THAT LIVE OFF OF COMPLETE WATER HARVESTING.
JOHN IS, CAN WE NOT, CAN WE NOT MAKE, UH, APPROVE SUBDIVISIONS THAT DON'T HAVE WATER AT ALL? AND THERE'D BE, UH, CISTERNS.
AND THAT'S, I THINK THAT'S WHY THAT LAW IS TALKING ABOUT YOU NOTIFY THE LANDOWNER UNDER THAT SUBSECTION ONE OF C THAT THEY MAY NOT HAVE WATER ON THAT PARTICULAR LOT.
UM, BUT, BUT I, I'D LIKE TO HEAR WHAT THE CRITERIA IS FROM WHO AND I FROM DOUG SHAW.
AND, AND IF WE'RE, IF WE'RE GONNA RELY ON THEM TO MAKE THE DECISION, I WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE DECISION'S GONNA BE.
HOW, WHAT'S IT GONNA BE BASED ON JUST, JUST ONE POINT OF CLARIFICATION.
DOUG WON'T MAKE A DECISION ON THIS.
HE HAS REFUSED TO MAKE A DECISION ON THIS.
HE WILL MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS AND THE SENATOR'S OFFICE AGREES THAT THE ABILITY TO MAKE DECISIONS UNDER PMA AUTHORITY IS SEPARATE FROM THE ABILITY TO MAKE DECISIONS FROM A GROUNDWATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT AUTHORITY.
IT DOES MAKE SENSE TO GET THEIR INPUT BECAUSE THEY'RE VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE AREA AND THEY'RE TRAINED IN THIS.
BUT THESE ARE TWO SEPARATE AREAS OF LEGAL AUTHORITY.
AND SO WHILE DOUG WILL MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS, IT'S GONNA BE AT THE COURT'S DECISION.
WE'RE, WE'RE THE ONES MAKING THE DECISION.
ANY OTHER, ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? I STILL HAVE LEGAL QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS.
WHAT YOU JUST SAID IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS REFERRING TO EARLIER.
I FEEL LIKE WE'RE RELYING ON DOUG SHAW AND THE UPPER TRINITY, BUT I FEEL LIKE WHAT YOU JUST SAID IS EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE GONNA GET FROM THEM.
SO IT'S GONNA COME BACK TO US.
I FEEL LIKE WE NEED SOME MORE LEGAL, SOME MORE LEGAL STUDY HERE SO I CAN GET THE 100% CONFIDENCE IN WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT FROM OUR COUNTY ATTORNEY.
WHILE I 100% SUPPORT DOING THINGS THAT ENCOURAGE
[01:10:01]
FOLKS TO BE CONSERVATIVE AND MINDFUL OF OUR WATER RESOURCES.SO I KNOW WE NEED TO GET THERE SO I CAN SEE THE BENEFIT.
I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THIS IS DONE CORRECTLY.
AND I, THAT'S JUST MY PERSONALITY, I THINK.
MANY OTHER DISCUSSION AND, AND UNFORTUNATELY I CAN'T GIVE THAT OPINION OFF THE CUFF TODAY.
THAT'S WHY I FEEL LIKE IT'D BE BETTER TO COME BACK AFTER WE'VE HAD SOME TIME.
YOU WANNA KEEP YOUR SECOND? YEAH.
COMMISSIONER, DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION? ANY COMMENTS? OKAY.
ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? FINAL CALL.
ALL IN FAVOR? I'D LIKE TO COME BACK THAT WE ASK MOTION BILL COURT ASK.
WE BRING IT BACK TO, I'LL JUST COME BACK NEXT COURT.
BUT LET'S COME BACK WITH SOME OTHER STUFF.
WHAT, WHAT EXACTLY DO WE NEED? WHAT DOES THE COURT NEED TO, LIKE, WHAT, WHAT YOU'RE ASKING US TO COME BACK WITH THIS COUNSELOR.
WHAT I WOULD ASK IS WHAT INFORMATION DOES THE COURT NEED TO HELP MAKE A DECISION? WELL, I THINK IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A, A BENCHMARK, PROBABLY DOUG SHAW TO SEE AT WHAT POINT THE RECOMMENDATION WOULD, YOU KNOW, AND I'M NOT SAYING A FIRM RECOMMENDATION 'CAUSE YOU'RE SAYING HE WON'T, WON'T GIVE THE RECOMMENDATION, BUT AT WHAT POINT HE WOULD SUGGEST THAT WE REQUIRE THIS TYPE OF SYSTEM.
HE'S GONNA HAVE AREAS IDENTIFIED IN THE COUNTY, DEFINITELY UP IN JACOB'S PRECINCT THAT PROBABLY HAVE A DIFFICULT TIME GETTING WATER.
PROBABLY THE WATER DRILLERS, GEORGE, YOU PROBABLY KNOW AREAS THAT AREN'T ADEQUATE.
AND SO WHAT THAT WATER THAT LAW GIVES YOU IS ALSO THE ABILITY TO NOTIFY THE PROPERTY OWNERS THAT ARE PURCHASING, UH, THAT THERE'S NOT GONNA BE WATER THERE AS WELL.
SO THEY CAN MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS.
SO PROBABLY, UH, I DON'T KNOW, DOUG'S ALWAYS BEEN AMENABLE TO COME GIVE PRESENTATIONS.
HE COULD COME VISIT WITH US AND, YOU KNOW, MAYBE EVEN HAVE SOMEONE FROM THE SENATOR'S OFFICE, UH, VISIT AND SAY, YOU KNOW, WE THINK THIS IS A GOOD IDEA.
I THINK LAST TIME WE SPOKE TO THEM, I'M NOT SURE THAT AT LEAST DOUG WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION NOBODY HAD UTILIZED THIS YET.
SO NOW I'M HERE IN KIRK COUNTY, SO I'D LIKE TO VISIT WITH KIRK COUNTY AS WELL.
RICHARD, IF YOU WOULD PUT THIS BACK ON FOR THE NEXT AGENDA AND ALSO NOTIFY DOUG SHAW.
AND WE'LL TALK MORE ABOUT THIS AND WITH THE COMMISSIONER HOLT AS WELL.

[6.Q. Discuss/Approve ARPA funded projects. (Commissioner Walden)]
APPROVED AR FUND PROJECTS.WE HAD A, A MEETING ON FRIDAY AND WE, UH, WENT THROUGH AND APPROVED A LIST, WHICH I DO NOT HAVE IN MY POSSESSION RIGHT NOW, BUT BRIANNA DOES OR KIM DOES.
AND, UH, THESE ARE WHAT WE CAN APPROVE AS OF THIS DATE.
ARE WE SAYING WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO APPROVE TODAY? YES.
UM, SO JUST FOR THE RECORD OF THE COURT, UM, THERE'S REMAINING FUNDS TO BE ALLOCATED TO PROJECTS TO BE OBLIGATED BY THE DECEMBER 31ST DEADLINE.
AND SO, UM, ONE OF THE PROJECTS IS REPEATERS FOR, UM, SCHOOL BUILDINGS.
AND SO THAT IS AN ESTIMATE WE'RE WORKING ON A FINAL QUOTE, 300,000, LEMME CHECK BRIEFLY.
THAT WAS BROUGHT TO US PREVIOUSLY FROM, FROM THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE.
AND, UH, THE COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS THAT THEY HAVE IN PLACE WILL NOT WORK IN SOME OF THE SCHOOL BUILDINGS.
AND SO THIS IS GOING TO, UH, ENABLE THEM TO HAVE REPEATERS THERE INSIDE THE BUILDING SO THAT, UH, THE, UH, COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS WILL WORK IN EVERY SCHOOL BUILDING.
IS THAT RIGHT, SHERIFF? CORRECT.
UM, THE OTHER IS FOR, UM, AND I KNOW THAT'S BEEN BROUGHT BEFORE THE COURT AS WELL, IS FOR THE EXPANSION OF DISPATCH.
UM, AND SO IT WOULD ADD, I CAN LET ANNETTE TALK TO IT, BUT IT'LL ADD TWO ADDITIONAL WORKSPACES.
ALTHOUGH GIVEN THE DEADLINE, WE PROBABLY WON'T BE ABLE TO COVER THE ACTUAL CONSTRUCTION PORTION WITH ARPA FUNDS.
UM, THIS COULD COVER THE ENGINEERING AS WELL AS THE FURNITURE THAT WILL NEED TO GO IN THERE.
IT'LL BE DIFFERENT, I GUESS, CONFIGURATIONS, UM, TO ADD THOSE WORKSTATIONS IN THERE.
AND SO THAT TOTAL IS, DID IT INCREASE? I THINK IT'S 270, IT'S MORE 2 97.
AND THEN ONE, UH, ADDITIONAL PROJECT THAT WAS DISCUSSED IS, UM, ADDITIONAL RAINWATER HARVESTING, UM, TWO TANKS AS WELL AS THE ANCILLARY ITEMS TO GET THAT UP IN OPERATION.
AND I BELIEVE, UM, KIM HAD REACHED OUT TO EACH OF YOU, UM, IF THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT YOU'RE INTERESTED IN.
UM, IT IS COVERED UNDER, UM, THE REGULAR ARPA FUNDS FOR, UM, KIND OF UNDER THE WATER CONSERVATION FOR THE RAINWATER HARVESTING.
SO, UM, THIS PARTICULAR ONE IS FOR, UM, PRECINCT THREE, BUT IF ANY OF THE OTHER, UM, COMMISSIONERS ARE INTERESTED IN THAT AT YOUR PRECINCT, UM, WE CAN USE ONE OF THE, UM, BIDS THAT WAS ISSUED, UM, JUST A FEW MONTHS AGO.
SO THE CONSTRAINTS THAT WE HAVE TO WORK UNDER IS THAT WE, WE, BECAUSE OF THE TIMELINE, WE HAVE TO USE CONTRACTS THAT ARE ALREADY IN PLACE, UH, WHETHER IT BE FOR ENGINEERING OR FOR PROCUREMENT OR WHATEVER IT IS, WE ALREADY HAVE WATER HARVESTING TANKS, UH, THAT HAVE BEEN PREVIOUSLY BID OUT.
SO THAT THAT COVERS THAT PROJECT.
IT STILL LEAVES US MORE THAT WE, WE NEED TO, UH, WAS THAT THE WHOLE LIST? UM, DO WE WANNA DISCUSS THE GEL EXPANSION? MM-HMM.
UM, AND THAT IS TO HAVE MEDICAL ISOLATION UNITS.
UM, SHOULD THERE BE SOME SORT OF OUTBREAK LIKE COVID OR, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING ELSE THAT YOU'D BE ABLE TO MOVE SOME OF THE INMATES TO THESE, UM, ADDITIONAL CELLS FOR ISOLATION PURPOSES? I, I WASN'T CLEAR WHEN I SAID, WHEN I MADE THE STATEMENT PREVIOUSLY.
WE, WE HAVE TO, UH, BECAUSE OF THE TIME CONSTRAINTS, WE HAVE TO HAVE THIS MONEY OBLIGATED, OBLIGATED,
[01:20:01]
OBLIGATED.SO THAT MEANS OBLIGATED BY DECEMBER THE 31ST.
WHICH MEANS THAT THERE'S NOT ENOUGH TIME TO GO OUT FOR REQUEST PROPOSALS AND GO THROUGH THE BID PROCESS TO DO THIS.
SO WE'RE HAVING TO USE ITEMS THAT ARE ALREADY IN PLACE.
AND, AND SO, AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN VOTE ON THIS AT, AT THIS TIME.
THIS WAS DISCUSSED FRIDAY AND I HAVE NOT HAD A CHANCE TO REACH BACK OUT, BUT WE DID DO AN RFP BACK IN JULY FOR THE JAIL EXPANSION.
WE HAD ONE, UH, RESPONSE ON THAT AND IT, UM, AT THAT TIME WE DECIDED TO WAIT TILL AFTER THE ELECTIONS IN NOVEMBER AND, UH, FURTHER DISCUSS, BUT YOU ALL HAD REJECTED THAT BID.
UM, IF WE WERE TO GO BACK AND COULD GET THAT, UH, CONTRACTOR TO AGREE TO HONOR THAT PROPOSAL, WE WOULD NEED COURT'S AUTHORIZATION TO, OR RESCIND THE REJECTION AND, UM, THEN COME BACK WITH, WITH THAT CONTRACT AND FOR APPROVAL OF THAT BID.
SO WHAT WE, SO WE COULD DO A SPECIAL COURT, MAYBE WHAT WE DECIDED THAT WE NEEDED TO DO WAS GO AHEAD AND APPROVE THE PROJECTS THAT, THAT WERE RECOMMENDED BY THE COMMITTEE ON FRIDAY AND THEN MEET AGAIN IN ABOUT TWO OR THREE WEEKS SO THAT WE CAN SEE WHO ELSE, WHAT ELSE WE'RE ABLE TO WORK IN AND, UH, GET THOSE APPROVED AGAIN AND HAVE THEM OBLIGATED BEFORE DECEMBER 31ST, 2024.
I ALSO HAD AN UPDATE TO ONE THAT WAS ALREADY, UM, APPROVED, BUT WE'VE UM, HAD AN AMENDMENT TO IT FOR THE WATER STUDY THAT FREEZA NICHOLS WAS AWARDED.
AND UM, THEIR AMENDMENT IS A TOTAL OF 746,453.
AND THIS WILL EXPAND ALL, UH, TO INCLUDE ADDITIONAL LEGISLATIVE SUPPORT AND MEETINGS, ADDITIONAL ANALYSIS FOR EVALUATING WATER SUPPLY OPTIONS, REGIONAL, REGIONAL WATER SUPPLY AND TRANSMISSION SYSTEM PLANNING, FUNDING APPLICATIONS AND FINANCIAL EVALUATIONS AND COMMUNICATION PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT.
SO THAT WOULD BRING THAT TOTAL PROJECT TO, DID YOU HAVE IT WAS 9 76 OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT? SO RIGHT HERE, THIS 9 89 2, YES.
9 980 $9,922 TOTAL FOR, AND THAT WILL TAKE US THROUGH THE END OF DECEMBER OF 26.
DECEMBER OF 2026 FOR THAT PROJECT THAT WILL FUND IT THROUGH THAT.
SO WE, WE NEED Y'ALL Y'ALL'S APPROVAL FOR THAT AS WELL TODAY.
I'M MOVE TO APPROVE THE ARPA FUNDED PROJECTS AS OUTLINED BY THE ARPA.
UH, ONE ADDITIONAL, JUST AS A CLARIFICATION ON THE GEL EXPANSION AS KIM DISCUSSED, UM, GENERAL FUND DID PAY $74,640 FOR THE ENGINEERING MM-HMM.
AND SO IF THE COURT, UM, WOULD LIKE, I CAN ACTUALLY MOVE THOSE EXPENDITURES, UH, TO ARPA FUNDING TO COVER THAT PROJECT.
WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER HILL.
ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR I'M CURIOUS ABOUT, AND JUST FOR THE RECORD OF THE COURT, UM, UNDER THE LOSS REVENUE, IF YOU RECALL, THAT'S THE MO LEAST RESTRICTIVE, UM, OF THE AR RPA FUND.
SO IT CAN BE SPENT ON ANY, UM, GOVERNMENTAL SERVICES THAT THE COUNTY NORMALLY WOULD INCUR.
SO ANY, AGAIN, EXPENSE THAT THE COUNTY OTHERWISE COULD PAY.
UM, SO I'M WORKING WITH EACH OF THE PRECINCTS TO ENSURE THAT THOSE FUNDS ARE OBLIGATED BY DECEMBER 31ST.
AND SO, UM, WITH PRECINCT THREE AND PRECINCT FOUR FOR THEIR REMAINING FUNDS, UM, WE'RE ACTUALLY GONNA APPLY THOSE TO PAYROLL COSTS THAT WERE INCURRED IN FY 24.
UM, SO THAT'LL JUST REDUCE THE EXPENSE OF THOSE PRECINCTS.
UM, THOSE FUNDS WILL BE EXPENDED UNDER ARPA AND THEN THEY WILL HAVE THOSE ADDITIONAL FUNDS, UM, TO BE ABLE TO DO ROAD PROJECTS WITHIN THE REGULAR PRECINCT BUDGET.
AND SO THAT IS SOMETHING THAT'S, UM, ALLOWABLE UNDER THE LOSS REVENUE SINCE IT'S, UM, STAFFING AND ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS.
