NEED A MOTION? UH, COMMISSIONER LTZ MADE THE MOTION.

THERE ANY DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM? ALL IN FAVOR? CARRIE? FIVE OH, THANK YOU.

UNDER ITEM C COUNTY JUDGE? YES.

UM, THAT WAS JUST FOR HER ONE ITEM.

SO DO WE NEED A MOTION FOR THE WHOLE CONSENT AGENDA? YES, WE'RE GONNA GET THAT.

I'M NOT, I'M NOT I THOUGHT YOU COULD.

I'M NO, NO, I'M NOT DONE.

SHE CAUGHT ME IN THE MIDDLE.

ALRIGHT.

UH, IN COUNTY JUDGE ITEMS ONE, TWO, AND THREE, I'D ASK FOR A MOTION FOR THE, UM, CONSENT AGENDA ITEM.

UH, THE MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN.

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

[5.A. Presentation by Zonta Club celebrating 16 Days of Activism and ongoing projects in Parker County. (Donna Couch / Judge Deen)]

WE'LL MOVE TO ITEM.

I'M GOING TO JUMP DOWN JUST A LITTLE BIT UNDER ITEM FIVE A UNDER THE PRESENTATION BY ZONTA CLUB, CELEBRATING 16 DAYS OF ACTIVISM AND ONGOING PROJECTS IN PARKER COUNTY.

DONNA, YOU WANNA COME UP JUDGE DEAN COMMISSIONERS, THANK YOU FOR HAVING US HERE TODAY.

WE ARE HERE REPRESENTING THE ZONTA CLUB OF PARKER COUNTY AND CHENS AROUND THE WORLD.

UH, CELEBRATE THE 16 DAYS OF ACTIVISM EVERY YEAR FROM NOVEMBER THE 25TH TO DECEMBER THE 10TH.

AND DURING THIS TIME WE ADVOCATE FOR, UH, WOMEN TO HAVE BETTER EDUCATIONS FOR WOMEN TO BE ABLE TO RECEIVE EQUAL PAY FOR EQUAL JOBS.

AND WE ALSO PUSH OUR MAIN GOAL, WHICH IS TO STOP THE VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN AND CHILDREN.

WE HAVE A DISPLAY ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE COURTHOUSE OF PAIRS OF SHOES USING THE NUMBERS THAT WE GOT FROM DISTRICT ATTORNEY JEFF SWAIN, CONCERNING HOW MANY, UH, COURT CASES WERE BROUGHT.

AND IN 2023, THERE WERE 138 COUNTS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN AND CHILDREN IN PARKER COUNTY.

SO WE HAVE SHOES, EMPTY SHOES, LINING THE COURTHOUSE SIDEWALK OUT THERE.

WE ALSO WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW THAT WE DO THIS YEAR ROUND.

WE HAVE, UH, PROGRAMS AT OUR MEETINGS.

WE HAVE SPECIAL EVENTS THAT

[00:05:01]

WE DO.

WE JUST FINISHED OUR FIFTH ANNUAL HUMAN TRAFFICKING SUMMIT, WHICH WAS HELD LAST WEEK AT, UM, THE WEATHERFORD COLLEGE EMERGING TECHNOLOGY BUILDING.

ZONTA IS VERY ACTIVE IN OUR COMMUNITY, EVEN THOUGH A LOT OF PEOPLE STILL DON'T KNOW ABOUT US.

SO WE'RE REALLY TRYING TO SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT ZONTA AND WHAT WE DO AND WHAT WE TRY TO DO FOR WOMEN.

ON ITEM SIX APPROVAL UNDER ITEM A, APPROVE THE RECOGNITION OF GRANT BURNETT AS A DISTINGUISHED EAGLE SCOUT CERTIFICATION.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO COME UP AND SPEAK? OKAY.

UM, WHAT WE'D LIKE TO DO IS HAVE Y'ALL COME UP, UM, ALL OF YOU.

AND, UH, WE'LL TAKE A PICTURE REAL QUICK AND THANK YOU AGAIN FOR WHAT YOU DO.

IS JEFF, IS JEFF HERE ON THE OH, THANK YOU RABBIT.

ALRIGHT, LET'S TAKE TWO PICTURES.

HEY, IF ANYTHING GOOD CAME OUT HERE, YOU LEARNED HOW TO COUNT BEFORE THE PICTURE HERE, MOVE TO, I WANNA MOVE DOWN TO, UH, ITEM

[6.A. Approve Recognition of Grant Burnette for his distinguished Eagle Scout certification. (Howard Stoiy / Judge Deen)]

UH, IF YOU WOULD INTRODUCE, WOULD YOU HAVE HIM INTRODUCE HIM AND HAVE HIM SPEAK IF YOU'D LIKE TO SPEAK.

HELLO COURT.

UH, MY NAME'S HOWARD STORY.

I'M WITH ROUTE 75 AND WE'VE GOT A SCOUT HERE THAT'S KIND OF MADE A, UH, AN EXTRAORDINARY ACCOMPLISHMENT.

HE HAS GOTTEN HIS EAGLE SCOUT AT AGE 13, WHICH IS QUITE RARE THESE DAYS.

UH, MOST OF THE TIME THE SCOUTS DON'T GET 'EM TILL ABOUT 17, ABOUT THE AGE OUT.

SO HE'S AN EXTREMELY, UH, GO-GETTER AND WE'RE VERY PROUD OF HIM.

HE IS ALSO CURRENTLY THE LEADER OF OUR TROOP.

SO WOULD YOU LIKE TO SAY SOMETHING, PUT YOU ON THE SPOT HERE.

THAT'S A MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENT THAT YOU, YOU'VE ACCOMPLISHED.

THANK YOU FOR COMING TODAY.

OH, THANK YOU FOR, IS THERE ANYTHING YOU'D LIKE TO SAY? GO AHEAD.

HOW LONG HAS HE BEEN WORKING ON THIS? I HAVE BEEN WORKING AS SOON AS I GOT, UM, TO THE TROOP, I, I, UH, JUST GOT TO KNOW EVERYTHING AND GOT TO KNOW THE BASICS OF, UH, SCOUTING AND THEN, UH, KNEW WHAT WAS IN FRONT OF ME AND WHAT I WAS A, WHAT OPPORTUNITY THERE WAS TO GET TO.

AND I JUST STARTED WORKING AND EVERY TIME, EVERY OPPORTUNITY I HAD, I WORKED TOWARDS IT AND, UM, DID IT JUST A LOT.

UM, FASTER THAN NORMAL, BUT STILL RETAINING INFORMATION.

AND I HOPE TO CONTINUE TO, UM, WORK IN THE TROOP TO HELP OTHER SCOUTS, UH, REACH EAGLE ALSO.

THAT'S, THAT'S SO AWESOME.

HOW LONG DID IT TAKE YOU? IT TOOK, LEMME THINK.

YEAH, IT TOOK ME ABOUT TWO YEARS.

THAT'S QUITE EXTRAORDINARY.

I WOULD SAY SO, YES.

UH, I HAVE A, UH, IF I CAN GET A MOTION

[00:10:01]

AND WE'LL APPROVE THIS AND I HAVE A RECOGNITION ANNOUNCEMENT I WANT TO, UH, PRESENT TO YOU.

AND I'LL HAVE Y'ALL COME UP AND, UH, TAKE A PICTURE WITH US.

IF, IF YOU WOULD PLEASE, UH, WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN WITH A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER HOLT TO ANY DISCUSSION.

ALL MY FAVOR.

THIS, UH, CONGRATULATORY RECOGNITION GRANT.

WE'RE, UH, WE'RE ALL PROUD OF YOU FOR DOING SUCH A GREAT JOB.

AND A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HIS EAGLE PROJECT.

UH, HIS EAGLE PROJECT WAS, UH, RESTORING A, UH, FENCE THAT WAS ONCE AROUND, UH, WHAT WAS IT, THE THIRD COURTHOUSE? THE COURTHOUSE? NO, THIS ONE.

THIS ONE AROUND THIS COURTHOUSE AT ONE TIME.

THAT WAS, UH, THE COURTHOUSE.

UH, THE FENCE IS NOW DOWN IN THE CEMETERY.

AND, UH, IT WAS LEANING IN, GETTING INTO SOME OF THE, UH, TOMBSTONES.

AND, UH, HIS PROJECT WAS TO STRAIGHTEN THAT FENCE BACK UP OR LEAD THE PERSONNEL TO STRAIGHTEN THAT FENCE BACK UP WITHOUT DAMAGING THE FENCE OR ANYTHING ELSE.

SO IT WAS QUITE A HISTORICAL EVENT IN ITSELF.

I WANTED TO, UM, DID WE APPROVE THIS ALL IN FAVOR? NO.

CARRIES 5 0 1.

I'D LIKE TO ALSO RECOGNIZE THE ABANDONED CEMETERY ASSOCIATION.

UH, OUR TROOP WORKS VERY CLOSELY WITH THEM IN, UH, UH, UPKEEP AND CARE OF THE ABANDONED CEMETERIES AROUND THIS COUNTY.

AND, UH, THEY HAVE WORKED WITH US VERY, VERY WELL WITH, UH, VARIOUS EAGLE PROJECTS THAT WE'VE HAD.

WELL, THANK YOU FOR DOING THAT.

THAT'S THE WHO PARKER COUNTY IS.

IT JUST CONTINUES TO GROW WITH COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP.

THIS IS YOURSELF AND GOING OUT AND HELPING.

'CAUSE WE CAN'T NEVER DO THIS WITHOUT THE SUPPORT OF OUR COMMUNITY.

AND THANK YOU FOR THAT.

UH, WHEREAS GRANT BURNETT OF SCOUT TROOPS 75 AND WEATHERFORD HAS RECEIVED THIS EAGLE SCOUT CERTIFICATION FOR A PROJECT IN WHICH A HISTORIC WR IRON FENCE AROUND THE BLACKWELL FAMILY PLOT IN AN ABANDONED CEMETERY WAS STRAIGHTENED.

AND WHEREAS AT AGE 13 IS ONE OF THE YOUNGEST RECIPIENTS OF THIS DISTINGUISHED AWARD, NOT ONLY IN PARKER COUNTY, BUT IN THE UNITED STATES, THE CEMETERY IS PART OF THE ABANDONED CEMETERY ASSOCIATION, WHICH CARRIES FOR 78 ABANDONED CEMETERIES THROUGHOUT PARKER COUNTY AND BEARS THE NAME OF OTHER PARKER COUNTY FOUNDING FAMILIES.

AND WHEREAS THE FENCE SURROUNDING THE FAMILY PLY WAS ONCE PART OF THE FENCE AROUND THE PARKER COUNTY COURTHOUSE COMPLETED IN 1886.

UH, WHEREAS GRANT TOOK INITIATIVE TO COMPLETE THIS TREMENDOUS ACHIEVEMENT.

AND NOW THEREFORE BE IT NOTED THAT THE COMMISSIONER'S COURT OF PARKER COUNTY DOES HEREBY RECOGNIZE AND CONGRATULATE GRANT BURNETT FOR HIS COMMITMENT, LEADERSHIP, AND COMMUNITY SERVICE THAT CONTINUE TO MAKE LASTING IMPACT ON OUR YOUTH.

SO RECOGNIZE THE NINTH DAY OF DECEMBER, 2024.

LET'S GIVE HIM A HAND, PLEASE.

CONGRATULATIONS FOR ALL THAT HARD WORK, MAN.

WE'LL MOVE BACK TO ITEM

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

D ONE ON INTERDEPARTMENTAL TRANSFERS OR EQUIPMENT INVENTORY REPORTS.

[00:15:01]

THERE'S NONE.

NO, THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT.

[4.D.2. Authorization to Advertise RFP PC25-04 Debris Removal Monitoring. (Kim Rivas / Judge Deen)]

ITEM TWO, AUTHORIZATION TO ADVERTISE RFP PC 25 DASH OH FOUR.

DEBRIS REMOVAL MONITORING, UH, SEEKING AUTHORIZATION TO ADVERTISE PC 25 0 4 DEBRIS REMOVAL MONITORING.

THE ANTICIPATED ADVERTISING DATES ARE DECEMBER 14TH AND DECEMBER 21ST.

ANTICIPATED OPENING OF JANUARY 10TH AND ANTICIPATED AWARD DATE OF JANUARY 27TH.

UM, AS YOU RECALL, THERE WAS, UM, AN AWARD FOR THE DEBRIS REMOVAL.

THIS IS FOR THE ACTUAL MONITORING.

IF IN THE EVENT THAT WE HAVE SOME SORT OF EVENT, UM, THIS IS REQUIRED FOR FEMA REIMBURSEMENT.

WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER CONLEY.

WE HAVE A SECOND.

SECOND BY COMMISSIONER HALE.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR CARRIES FIVE OH.

MOVE TO

[6.B. 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. (Doug Shaw / Commissioner Holt)]

ITEM DOWN TO SIX.

ITEM SIX B.

DISCUSS, TAKE ACTION ON ADDING LANGUAGE OF THE COUNTY SUBDIVISION RULES THAT COMMISSIONER'S COURT MAY REQUIRE, AS DISCUSSED 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 CONCERNS SPECIFIC TO THAT SUBDIVISION AND THE SURROUNDING AREAS.

UH, DO WE HAVE DOUG SHAW HERE? UH, COMMISSIONER? NO, SIR.

MR. SHAW IS NOT HERE.

HE'S ABOUT FIVE FOUR, A HUNDRED TEN POUNDS.

UH, COMMISSIONER, DO YOU WANNA YEAH.

SPEAK TO THIS? IF, IF THE COURT WILL HUMOR ME FOR JUST A SECOND.

UM, COUPLE, COUPLE BRIEF COMMENTS, AND I'M SURE Y'ALL ARE CHUCKLING IN YOUR HEAD AT THE WORD BRIEF FROM ME, BUT STILL, UH, PARKER COUNTY'S GROWING PRETTY FAST.

ANYBODY WHO'S DRIVEN ON OUR ROADS KNOWS THAT, AND IN MANY, MANY WAYS THAT GROWTH IS A GOOD THING.

IN MANY WAYS IT'S ALSO VERY CHALLENGING.

I KIND OF LOOK AT GROWTH.

I'M, I'M A FATHER AND I'VE GOT SOME KIDS WHO ARE, UH, TEENAGERS AND I KIND OF LOOK AT THAT GROWTH KIND OF LIKE I LOOK AT MY 13-YEAR-OLD SON.

IF HE'S SIX FOOT SIX NEXT YEAR AND 220 POUNDS, I'VE GOT A MEDICAL EMERGENCY ON MY HANDS.

BUT IF HE GRADUALLY GROWS TO SIX FOOT SIX HERE IN ABOUT EIGHT YEARS, I AIN'T PAYING FOR COLLEGE.

'CAUSE HE'S GONNA BE A PRETTY GOOD ATHLETE, I THINK.

SO THAT'S, THAT'S KIND OF THE WAY THAT I SEE GROWTH IS THAT IF YOU DO IT IN A SUSTAINED, REASONABLE WAY, IT CAN BE VERY, VERY GOOD AND HEALTHY FOR THE COMMUNITY.

BUT IF YOU GET OUT OVER YOUR SKIS, YOU'RE NOT GONNA HAVE A GOOD DAY.

UM, WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH SENATOR KING'S OFFICE ON SOME OF THE LEGISLATIVE ISSUES THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THEM TACKLE TO HELP US MANAGE OUR WATER SITUATION.

AND I SHARED WITH THE COURT A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, UM, OR I BELIEVE RICH DID A MEMO FROM SENATOR KING'S OFFICE THAT VERY POLITELY SAID, UH, WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE ANY LEGISLATIVE ACTION RIGHT NOW SIMPLY BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT UTILIZING THE FULL EXTENT OF THE LAW AS IT CURRENTLY STANDS.

AND THERE'S SEVERAL KEY WAYS THAT WE'RE NOT.

AND THAT MEMO, I THINK, DID A GOOD JOB OF OUTLINING THEM.

UM, THE BIGGEST THING THAT, OR, OR THERE'S SEVERAL THINGS IN THERE, BUT, BUT THE ISSUES ARE, I'M JUST GONNA USE THE 2022 NUMBER OF WATER WELLS DRILLED THAT ARE PRIVATE RESIDENTIAL WELLS.

PARKER COUNTY HAS LED SINCE 2010, THE STATE, OUT OF ALL 254 COUNTIES IN NUMBER OF PRIVATE WATER WELLS DRILLED EVERY SINGLE YEAR SINCE 2010.

SINCE 2010, WE'VE LED THE STATE EVERY SINGLE YEAR IN NUMBER OF PRIVATE WATER WELLS DRILLED IN 2022.

WE DRILLED ALMOST 1300 PRIVATE RESIDENTIAL WELLS.

THE NEXT HIGHEST DRILLED LESS THAN 600.

SO OUT OF ONE TO 2 54, WE WERE NUMBER ONE WITH 1300 AND NUMBER TWO WAS LESS THAN 600.

WE ARE TRULY IN A UNIQUE SITUATION.

SPRINGTOWN USED TO BE CALLED OR WAS NAMED SPRINGTOWN BECAUSE IT, IT USED TO HAVE SPRINGS.

DOESN'T HAVE SPRINGS ANYMORE.

THE WATER SITUATION'S VERY SERIOUS.

AND I THINK THIS COURT IS VERY WELL AWARE OF THAT.

THIS COURT HAS TAKEN EXCELLENT LEADERSHIP COMMISSIONER WALDEN WITH HIS HYDROLOGY 2050 COMMITTEE WITH THE ALLOCATION OF ARPA FUNDS, THINGS LIKE THAT.

BUT THERE'S ANOTHER THING THAT WE CAN DO RIGHT HERE TO BE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THIS ISSUE.

THIS IS TAKING 35 0 1 9 OF THE TEXAS WATER CODE AND GRANTING OURSELF THE ABILITY AT OUR DISCRETION SUBJECT TO THE UPPER TRINITY GROUNDWATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT'S RECOMMENDATION TO REQUIRE A WATER SYSTEM.

THIS WOULD BE A MAY NOT A SHALL.

AND IN DISCUSSING THIS HEAVILY WITH MR. SHAW, HE'S HEAVILY ON BOARD.

[00:20:02]

SO WE WOULDN'T EVEN CONSIDER THIS UNLESS IT'S GONNA HAVE MORE THAN 20 LOTS.

AND EVEN IF WE CONSIDER IT, IT'S A MAY NOT A SHALL.

NOW THE REASON WHY THIS LANGUAGE IS IMPORTANT IS IF WE DON'T ADOPT THIS LANGUAGE, WE CAN'T REQUIRE THIS.

AND THE LANGUAGE IS VERY SIMPLE.

IT JUST SAYS, BASED ON OUR REASONABLE WATER AVAIL AVAILABILITY CONCERNS, PARKER COUNTY COMMISSIONER'S COURT MAY REQUIRE THE DEVELOPER TO PUT IN A WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM FOR ONE OR MORE LOTS IN A NEW SUBDIVISION BASED ON, AS I SAID, REASONABLE WATER AVAILABILITY CONCERNS.

THAT'S ALL I HAVE.

YOU SAID, UH, UNDER 20 DOESN'T HAVE TO, DOESN'T FALL UNDER THAT CATEGORY.

DOUG AND I DISCUSSED THIS HEAVILY.

HE THINKS THIS IS AN EXCELLENT IDEA.

SENATOR KING'S OFFICE POINTED SPECIFICALLY TO THIS AS ONE OF THE TOOLS THAT WE'RE NOT CURRENTLY USING.

AND FRANKLY, HE IS VERY CONSERVATIVE ON LAWS AND DOES NOT WANT TO ASK THE LEGISLATURE TO DRAFT NEW LAWS SPECIFIC TO PARKER COUNTY WHEN WE'RE NOT USING THE TOOLS IN OUR TOOLBOX THAT WE ALREADY HAVE.

AND SO, YES, THIS, THIS WOULD APPLY TO LESS THAN 20, OR THIS WOULD NOT APPLY TO 20 LOTS OR LESS.

THIS WOULD ONLY BE ON THE TABLE FOR 21 OR MORE.

AND EVEN THEN IT WOULD BE A VOTE.

RIGHT? IT WOULD NOT BE AN AUTOMATIC REQUIREMENT.

BUT THEN THE LAW CHANGED AND IT SAID SHALL INSTEAD OF MAY THAT SENATE BILL 24 40, I BELIEVE THIS WOULD BE SIMILAR TO THAT, BUT THE OLD VERSION WHERE WE MAY REQUIRE IT, NOT WE SHALL REQUIRE IT.

JOHN, DO YOU HAVE ANY INPUT? I'M SORRY.

WHY DID, UH, MR. SHAW NOT COME TODAY? OR DO YOU KNOW WHY OR, UH, I DIDN'T ASK HIM TO BE HERE FOR THIS MEETING.

HE'S GONNA BE HERE IN JANUARY WHEN HE IS GOING TO UNVEIL TO THE SUBDIVISION REGULATION COMMITTEE A KIND OF MATRIX OF OPTIONS.

AND I BELIEVE COMMISSIONER WALDEN'S AWARE OF THIS AS WELL, WHERE HE'S GOING TO BASICALLY PRESENT US THE DATA ON WHAT WOULD BE IDEAL FOR LOT SIZE REQUIREMENTS ON ACREAGE BASED OFF OF THE INDIVIDUAL WATER IN THE AREA.

SO IN OTHER WORDS, INSTEAD OF SAYING FIVE ACRES FOR EVERYBODY, OR 20 ACRES FOR EVERYBODY, INSTEAD THERE'S AREAS WHERE, YEAH, TWO ACRES MAKES A HECK OF A LOT OF SENSE.

THERE'S A LOT OF AREAS IN PARKER COUNTY WHERE THAT'S THE CASE, BUT THERE'S ALSO A LOT OF AREAS WHERE THE SCIENCE AND THE, THE, THE MATH AND ALL THAT SAYS THAT MAYBE WE NEED A LITTLE BIT MORE.

SO HE'S GONNA UNVEIL THAT PLAN IN JANUARY.

JOHN, DO YOU HAVE ANY INPUT ON THIS AGENDA ITEM? I, AND THINK IT'S A GREAT OPTION AND, BUT IT MAY BE ONE OF MANY OPTIONS THAT ARE AVAILABLE.

I WAS ABLE TO VISIT WITH, UH, PICKER STAFF, HEATH, DELGADO, AND ACOSTA, AND THAT'S LATER ON THE AGENDA, RIGHT.

BUT THEY REPRESENT MULTIPLE COUNTIES, HAVE REPRESENTED MULTIPLE COUNTIES AS FAR AS DRAFTING SUBDIVISION RULES THAT INCORPORATE THESE, UH, TYPE OF RESTRICTIONS INTO THE SUBDIVISION RULES.

UM, RIGHT NOW, CHUCK KIMBRO, WHO IS THE ONE WITH PICKER STAFF THAT I DID VISIT WITH, HE REPRESENTS KERR GILLESPIE, TRAVIS.

THEY'RE ALL IN PIGMENTS, WHICH IS CRITICAL TO WHAT WE'RE DOING RIGHT NOW.

AND SO MY RECOMMENDATION LATER WHEN WE GET TO THAT AGENDA ITEM IS THAT WE ENGAGE THEM TO ASSIST IN DRAFTING THESE RULES BASED ON THE FACT THAT THEY HAVE ALREADY DEALT WITH THESE SITUATIONS IN MENT COUNTIES.

AND IT'S NOT JUST REGULAR COUNTIES.

YOU LOOK AT TRAVIS, THAT'S HUGE EDWARDS AQUIFER ISSUE DOWN THERE.

SO IT'S GONNA BE SIMILAR TO WHAT WE HAVE IN PARKER COUNTY THAT'RE, THEY'RE JUST AHEAD OF THE CURVE AS FAR AS WHAT WE'RE DOING RIGHT NOW IS WITH, UH, GILLESPIE COUNTY, UH, THEY HAVE ADOPTED SOME MORE RESTRICTIVE MEASURES AS WELL.

IF ONE THING THAT, UH, YOU KNOW, WE'RE LOOKING AT IS POTENTIALLY YOU CAN ADOPT A MUCH MORE STRICT SUBDIVISION MODEL HERE IN TEXAS BASED ON THE FACT THAT WE'RE IN A PIGMENT, WHICH WOULD ALLOW US TO HAVE THE MOST STRINGENT UNDER 2 32 OF ALL THE SUBDIVISION RULES.

BUT THOSE ARE OPTIONS THAT AS A COURT AS A WHOLE, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO LOOK AT AND DETERMINE WHAT YOU'LL WANT TO ADOPT, WHAT YOU DON'T WANT TO ADOPT, BECAUSE IT'S PRETTY WIDE OPEN, AS JAKE WAS SAYING, AS FAR AS WHAT CAN BE ADOPTED, WHAT CAN'T.

I MEAN, IT'S, THERE'S, IT'S NOT REALLY RESTRICTIVE UNTIL THE POINT IN WHICH YOU INFRINGE ON SOMEONE'S PROPERTY RIGHTS.

SO THAT'S KIND OF WHAT THEY'VE LEFT IT.

THEY WANT YOU TO GO FAR ENOUGH, BUT NOT TOO FAR.

SO IT TIES INTO THIS, WHAT WE'RE SPECIFICALLY LOOKING AT RIGHT NOW.

IN FACT, IT WAS, IT WOULD BE THEM TO ESTABLISH THE PARAMETERS AND THE, THE LANGUAGE.

WOULD IT NOT? UH, THEY WOULD ASSIST IN THAT.

WITH, THAT THEY'VE ALREADY ADDRESSED.

AND SO PICKER STAFF ALSO REPRESENTS DALLAS,

[00:25:01]

TRAVIS HARRIS.

I MEAN, THEY REPRESENT MULTIPLE LARGE COUNTIES THAT HAVE ENGAGED THEM TO DRAFT THESE RULES BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, ULTIMATELY AT THE END OF THE DAY, YOU WANT THEM TO BE ENFORCEABLE AND ALSO STRINGENT ENOUGH TO PROTECT YOUR COMMUNITY HERE IN PARKER COUNTY.

I KNOW THE PREVIOUS MEETING THAT WE HAD, THAT WAS ONE OF THE CONCERNS.

COMMISSIONER WALDEN, YOU'VE MENTIONED THIS, AND YOU MIGHT SPEAK TO THIS, IS THE PARAMETERS OF THE ARBITRARY, I GUESS, WHERE, WHAT IS IT? DEFINE AND YOU WANNA SPEAK TO THAT AS WELL? WELL, I, I, I'D JUST LIKE TO, I I, I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHAT CRITERIA IS GONNA BE USED.

I MEAN, UH, THE LANGUAGE WE'RE SAYING HERE IS A, A, A REASONABLE WATER AVAILABILITY CONCERN SPECIFIC TO THAT SUBDIVISION.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS.

AND IT MAKES ME, IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR ME TO SAY BECAUSE, UH, IT LOOKS LIKE, UH, PLAGUING THE OTHER SIDE FOR A MOMENT.

IF SOMEBODY DOESN'T WANT A SUBDIVISION NEXT TO THEIR PROPERTY, THEY'RE GONNA COME BACK AND BE HERE IN COURT SAYING, WELL, THERE'S NO WATER HERE.

AND I, I I NEED SOME SCIENTIFIC, UH, KNOWLEDGE, UH, SCIENTIFIC BASIS FOR BEING ABLE TO MAKE THAT, UH, DECISION RATHER THAN JUST YES OR NO BASED ON, AND THAT'S ALL I'M ASKING IS THAT WE HAVE ANOTHER ALTERNATIVE, UH, PUT IN THERE.

WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE, BUT IF, IF YOU WERE ABLE TO, UH, PUT IN A SUBDIVISION, UH, IN AN AREA THAT WAS QUESTIONABLE, BUT YOU DIDN'T ALLOW ANY OUTSIDE IRRIGATION OR, UH, UH, JUST USE THE, WELL, SPECIFICALLY JUST FOR HOUSEHOLD USE, THEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT 75 GALLONS PER PERSON PER DAY AS OPPOSED TO THOUSANDS OF GALLONS WHEN YOU IRRIGATE.

AND, UH, AND I'D LIKE TO SEE THAT AS PART OF A BIGGER, UH, PLAN THAT WE HAVE, UH, WHEN WE START.

UH, I MEAN, THERE'S A VERY FINE LINE HERE BECAUSE WHEN YOU START, YOU START INFRINGING ON, UH, UH, THE PERSONAL PROPERTY RIGHTS INFRINGING ON SOMEBODY'S RIGHTS.

IF IT'S VOLUNTARILY TAKEN IN AND THEY SAY, OKAY, I'LL, I'LL BUY A LOT IN THIS SUBDIVISION, RECOGNIZING THAT I CAN'T IRRIGATE FROM MY WELL, UH, COMPARED WITH, UH, US TAKING A PIECE OF PROPERTY AND SAYING, BECAUSE OF WHERE YOU ARE, UH, THE, THE LOCATION, THE GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION YOU ARE IN THE COUNTY, UH, WE'RE GONNA SAY THAT YOU HAVE TO HAVE A LARGER ACREAGE TRACKS.

UH, THEN YOU'RE, YOU'RE PROBABLY INFRINGING ON SOMEBODY'S, UH, PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS.

AND THE REASON THAT I THINK PROBABLY, AND WE HAVEN'T DISCUSSED THIS AT LENGTH, BUT I, I THINK THE REASON WE NEED THAT LAW FIRM IS 'CAUSE WE'RE GONNA GET SUED BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE A, A GOOD, UH, UH, BASIS FOR MAKING THE DECISION.

SO, UM, I'M THE ONE THAT CARRIED THE FLAG THAT WE'VE GOTTA DO SOMETHING.

SO I, I, UH, APPLAUD THE, THE COMMISSIONER, HOWEVER, UH, I, I, I'D RATHER HAVE MORE DETAILS IN HERE AND SOMETHING SPECIFIC SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE, YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT JUST A DECISION BASED ON WHAT THE WIND IS LIKE THAT DAY WE, WE HAVE YES, NO, AND HERE'S THE SCIENTIFIC FACTS.

IF WE, UH, UH, AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE LINE IS.

DOES WE NEED A WELL THAT WILL PRODUCE 10 GALLONS OF WATER? DO WE NEED A WELL THAT WILL PRODUCE A GALLON AND A HALF? I DON'T KNOW.

UH, SO LOT OF QUESTIONS THAT I HAD, DO WE NEED THAT? WE NEED TO HERE FROM MY LAW FIRM BEFORE WE VOTE FOR THIS? THOSE ARE TWO SEPARATE ISSUES.

'CAUSE THIS IS, THIS IS AN ITEM THAT ONLY TALKS ABOUT ADDING ONE SPECIFIC TOOL OR GIVING US ACCESS TO ONE SPECIFIC TOOL IN OUR TOOL BELT.

WHAT JOHN'S TALKING ABOUT IS A MUCH BIGGER, MORE COMPREHENSIVE PROCESS THAT QUITE FRANKLY, UH, IT MIGHT TAKE A LITTLE WHILE.

UM, MY GUESS IS IT'LL PROBABLY TAKE AT LEAST SIX MONTHS.

UM, AND THAT'S, THAT'S PROBABLY MAYBE EVEN A LITTLE BIT AGGRESSIVE.

SO I, I I THINK WE'RE KIND OF CONFLATING TWO DIFFERENT ISSUES HERE.

AND, AND I THINK JOHN'S ITEM THAT HE TALKED ABOUT WITH BIGGER STAFF AND ALL, THAT'S FANTASTIC.

BUT WE CAN, YOU KNOW, TALK ABOUT THAT ONE THAT COMES UP ON THE AGENDA.

AND, AND YOU CAN DO IT EITHER WAY.

YOU COULD DO IT WHERE YOU ADOPT THIS INDEPENDENT OF THEIR REVIEW, BUT YOU COULD ALSO DO IT WHERE THEY REVIEW ITEMS THAT WE BRING BEFORE THE COURT AS FAR AS, UH, APPLICABILITY TO WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE IN PARKER COUNTY.

SO, YOU KNOW, IT'S, IT'S, THEY, THEY WILL LOOK AT ANY ITEM AND THE ENGAGEMENT LETTER IS GONNA BE PRETTY BROAD.

SO WE'RE, WE'RE CITING THAT.

SO THEY CAN COME IN AND LOOK AT SPECIFIC THINGS THAT THEY'RE DOING WITH, WITH OTHER COUNTIES THAT THEY'RE CURRENTLY ENGAGED

[00:30:01]

WELL, I'D LIKE TO HEAR ALL THAT.

I WOULD, I WOULD LIKE TO, UM, TO, TO KIND OF RESPOND TO SOME OF COMMISSIONER WALDEN'S POINTS.

THIS IDEA IN THIS ITEM IS SUBJECT TO THE UPPER TRINITY'S REVIEW.

SO WE'RE NOT DRAFTING THE REQUIREMENT, WE'RE NOT DRAFTING THE PARAMETERS OF THE REQUIREMENT.

WE'RE GIVING THIS DATA TO THE UPPER TRINITY AND THE UPPER TRINITY'S GONNA COME BACK TO US WITH A RECOMMENDATION ON WHETHER OR NOT A WATER SYSTEM SHOULD BE REQUIRED.

SO THIS ISN'T US DECIDING IT AT OUR DISCRETION WILLY-NILLY WITH NO OUTSIDE INFLUENCE, THE UPPER TRINITY ALREADY PROVIDES THESE REVIEWS FOR US IN A SIMILAR FASHION.

SO THIS IS CERTAINLY NOT ONLY AT OUR OWN DISCRETION, THIS WOULD BE SUBJECT AND I WOULD WANT THE MOTION TO BE SUBJECT TO THE UPPER TRINITY GROUNDWATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT'S REVIEW.

THE SECOND THING IS REGARDING OUTSIDE IRRIGATION.

THAT WAS ONE OF THE ITEMS THAT WE ASKED SENATOR KING'S OFFICE TO ADDRESS LEGISLATION ON.

AND THAT WAS TO GIVE US AN ENFORCEMENT MECHANISM ON HOW MUCH FOLKS WATER OUTSIDE.

BECAUSE RIGHT NOW THERE'S NOTHING IN THE LAW THAT ALLOWS US TO ENFORCE HOW MUCH SOMEBODY WATERS OUTSIDE, REGARDLESS OF WHAT DOCUMENTS THEY SIGN.

THEY CAN SIGN A DEED RESTRICTION ALL THEY WANT.

WE'VE ALL SEEN DEED RESTRICTIONS THAT ABSOLUTELY DO NOT HOLD AS COMMISSIONERS.

WE DEAL WITH THE ROADS IN FORMER HOAS QUITE A BIT WHERE THERE'S A LOT OF ISSUES WHERE THERE WERE LEGAL CONTRACTS THAT WERE SIGNED THAT WERE NOT UPHELD.

SO THE, THE ISSUE OF LIMITING OUTSIDE IRRIGATION, UM, THERE'S, THERE'S NOT AN ENFORCEMENT MECHANISM, WHICH MAKES IT PRETTY TOUGH TO RELY ON THAT WHEN WE HAVE THE PROBLEM AS, AS, AS SUBSTANTIAL AS IT IS.

AND THEN THE FINAL ISSUE IS, PER THE UPPER TRINITY, SOMEWHERE AROUND HALF OF THE 180,000 PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN PARKER COUNTY DEPEND ON GROUNDWATER FOR THEIR DAILY NEEDS IN THEIR OWN HOME OF THAT HALF.

SO CALL IT 90,000, ABOUT THREE QUARTERS ONLY DEPEND ON GROUNDWATER.

SO THIS IS AN ISSUE AFFECTING SOMEWHERE NORTH OF 60,000 FOLKS IN THE COUNTY.

AND IF WE DON'T, YOU KNOW, DO EVERYTHING WE CAN, WE'VE GOT 60,000 CONSTITUENTS THAT WE OWE AN ANSWER TO.

I THINK I'M GONNA MAKE THE MOTION THAT WE ADOPT THIS LANGUAGE SUBJECT TO THE REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION OF THE UPPER TRINITY GROUNDWATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT.

THAT FOR A SYSTEM OR FOR A SUBDIVISION OF MORE THAN 20 LOTS COMMISSIONER'S COURT MAY REQUIRE A WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM FOR ONE OR MORE LOTS IN THE NEW SUBDIVISION BASED ON REASONABLE WATER AVAILABILITY CONCERNS SPECIFIC TO THAT SUBDIVISION AND THE SURROUNDING AREAS.

WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER HOLT.

UH, DO WE HAVE A SECOND? I HAVE SOME MORE QUESTIONS.

I'M GONNA SECOND IT TO GET TO THAT DISCUSSION PHASE.

PROCEED.

UM, WAS DOUG SHAW SUPPOSED TO BE HERE TODAY? 'CAUSE HIS NAME WAS ON THE AGENDA.

I WAS HOPING HE WAS GOING BE HERE.

'CAUSE I HAD SOME QUESTIONS FOR HIM.

SO WAS I, UH, YEAH, BUT HE WASN'T, HE WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BE HERE TODAY OR HE IS HIS NAME'S ON THE AGENDA.

RIGHT? I DON'T KNOW WHY HIS NAME'S ON THE AGENDA.

THE, UH, THE COUNTIES THAT ARE IN THE PMA, YOU'D, JOHN, YOU HAD MENTIONED THAT YOU'D SPOKE TO A COUPLE OF THOSE COUNTIES.

DID HAVE THEY HAD ANY, I GUESS ONE, WHAT TYPE OF TIMEFRAME HAVE THEY BEEN ESTABLISHED FOR A WHILE WITH SOME OF THESE RULES AND HAVE THEY BEEN SUED OR DID THEY HAVE ANY FEEDBACK ALONG THOSE LINES? AND I HAVEN'T READ THEIR RULES SPECIFICALLY.

HADN'T HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO PULL THAT DOWN TO SEE, YOU KNOW, HOW FAR THEY'VE GONE.

UH, BUT CHUCK HAD, CHUCK KIMBRO HAD ASSISTED THEM IN DRAFTING THOSE AND HE FELT COMFORTABLE THAT WHATEVER THEY HAD DRAFTED IN IMPLEMENTED WOULD BE HELD WITHHELD BY THE LAW, BY THE COURTS.

AND THAT'S WHAT BICKER STAFF THAT, THAT LAW FIRM? THAT'S CORRECT.

AND LIKE I SAID, CHUCK IS JUST ONE OF THE MEMBERS, ONE OF THE ATTORNEYS.

IT'S A VERY LARGE LAW FIRM.

TO DO TODAY, I THINK BICKER STAFF WOULD LOOK AT THESE PARTICULAR RESOURCES THAT WE HAVE AVAILABLE TO US, WHICH THEY ALREADY HAVE IN THOSE OTHER PIGMENT COUNTIES AND FAST TRACK THOSE AND IMPLEMENT 'EM IN, I DON'T THINK THEY'RE GONNA TAKE SIX MONTHS IF, IF Y'ALL CHOSE TO NOT APPROVE THIS TODAY.

HE'S THE ONE THAT REPRESENTS THOSE COUNTIES THAT I REFERENCED PREVIOUS.

BUT THERE ARE O OTHER ATTORNEYS THAT REPRESENT OTHER COUNTIES THROUGHOUT THE STATE AND THEY DO THE SAME THING THAT HE DOES.

AND THEY ALL COLLABORATE ON THAT INFORMATION AND GET THAT TOGETHER.

SO THAT'S WHY I THINK IT'S CRITICAL MOVING FORWARD THAT WE GET A LAW FIRM LIKE THAT, THAT OTHER COUNTIES ARE UTILIZING, UTILIZE THE RESEARCH THAT THEY'VE ALREADY COMPLETED

[00:35:01]

AND IMPLEMENT THAT HERE.

SO WE KIND OF GET A STATEWIDE STANDARD AT THAT TIME.

WELL, THAT, THAT'S KIND OF WHAT I WAS THINKING AS AS YOU WERE SPEAKING, I WAS JOTTING DOWN NOTES BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF QUESTIONS.

OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A, LIKE COMMISSIONER WALDEN, IT SAYS IT'S A FINE LINE HERE.

YOU HAVE LANDOWNERS RIGHTS AND WE HAVE THE BIG WATER CONSERVATION THAT WE NEED TO BE VERY AWARE OF AND HOW, HOW TO ADDRESS IT.

IF THIS LAW FIRM SPECIALIZES IN IT, IT COULD HELP US FOR MISSTEPPING OR POTENTIALLY HAVING LAWSUITS AND BEING, TAKING THE WRONG STEP HERE OUT AT THIS POINT IN TIME.

I'M MORE PERSONALLY GONNA GO THAT ROUTE TO GET GOOD DETAILED DATA AND MAKE SURE WE'RE MAKING GOOD STEPS OFF OF FOLKS THAT HAVE DONE THIS IN COUNTIES WHERE THEY'RE MAYBE HAVE BEEN AT THIS POINT BEFORE TO HELP GIVE US SOME GOOD DATA TO GO OFF OF.

YOU KNOW, ONE OF MY QUESTIONS I WROTE DOWN ON THESE 20 LOTS, AND I HAVE A FEELING THAT THE OPPORTUNITY WOULD RECOMMEND IT BECAUSE THEN IT WOULD GO TO A COMMERCIAL.

WELL, IS THAT AND ON THESE WATER SYSTEMS YEAH.

WHERE THAT THEY COULD PERMIT AND THEN REGULATE THE USAGE.

AND IS THAT, IS THAT WHAT'S BEHIND THIS? AS, AS COMMISSIONER WALDEN SAID, SOMEWHERE AROUND 75%, 80% OF RESIDENTIAL WATER USE IS OUTSIDE OF THE HOUSE, WHICH WE CURRENTLY HAVE NO ABILITY TO RIGHT.

TO ADDRESS AT ALL.

I, AND I UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT THAT WATER SYSTEM WILL TIE A COST RIGHT.

TO THE USAGE, WHICH IS THE BEST, UM, METHOD OF REGULATING USE BECAUSE IT'S FREE MARKET TO INCENTIVIZE PEOPLE.

YOU BET.

I UNDERSTAND.

I I HAVE 'EM IN MY PRECINCT.

YOU DRIVE THROUGH THERE AND IT BURN UP LOOKS LIKE BROWN DIRT AND ROCKS BECAUSE IT'S SO EXPENSIVE.

STOP TALKING ABOUT MY YARD THAT WAY, .

AND, UH, BUT, BUT WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE, AND WHAT I WAS HOPING TO ASK MR. SHAW, AND I UNDERSTAND 75 TO 80% IS OUTSIDE OF THAT PERIMETER OF THE FOOTPRINT OF THE HOME.

BUT IF WE'RE CREATING, ALL OF A SUDDEN WE'RE GONNA HAVE FOUR, FOUR LOCKS PER ACRE AND THE DENSITY MULTIPLIES, HOW'S THAT CORRELATE WITH THE SCIENCE AND THE WATER USAGE? BECAUSE NOW IT'S TWO ACRES, BUT WE HAVE 75 OR 80% FOR THE YARD.

BUT IF WE GO IN THERE AND WE START PUTTING FOUR, COME OVER TO MORNING STARS, SOME OF THESE DEVELOPMENTS COMING IN IN PRECINCT FOUR, YOU KNOW, THERE ARE THREE AND FOUR HOUSES TO THE LOT, BUT THEY'RE COMING IN ON MUD DISTRICTS.

A LOT OF IT, THE UTILITIES ARE COMING FROM THE CITIES, NOT POKING HOLES IN THE GROUND.

I MEAN THIS, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE, WELL, THE WATER SUPPLY FROM THE, FROM THE GROUND.

I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR SOME DATA.

I WAS REALLY HOPING DOUG SHAW WAS HERE.

'CAUSE I FELT LIKE HE WOULD PROBABLY HAVE THOSE NUMBERS.

I WOULD ALSO FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE FROM A LIABILITY STANDPOINT.

'CAUSE I FEEL LIKE UPPER TRINITY IN THIS, IN THIS, IN THIS CASE, THE WAY THAT THIS MOTION WAS MADE, IF THEY DON'T RECOMMEND IT, BUT IT'S IN OUR DISCRETION TO APPROVE IT, WHERE'S THE LIABILITY FALL? SO FOR BEING SUED, I, I APPRECIATE YOU BRINGING THAT UP.

IN THAT MEMO THAT SENATOR KING'S OFFICE, UM, WROTE THAT I SHARED MM-HMM .

IT TALKS ABOUT THE FACT THAT THIS HAS ALREADY ESTABLISHED STATE LAW AND THERE'S ALREADY COUNTIES, I THINK KERR COUNTY IS ONE OF THEM, IF I RECALL THE CORRECT NAME FROM THE MEMO THAT LITERALLY JUST SAYS, IF IF WE HAVE A REASONABLE WATER AVAILABILITY CONCERN, WE CAN REQUIRE IT.

AND PER 35 0 1 9 PART C TWO, SINCE WE'RE IN A PMA, THE STATE HAS ALREADY MADE THE DECISION PROACTIVELY BECAUSE WE'RE IN A PMA THAT WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO THAT.

SO AS FAR AS GETTING SUED FOR IT, I MEAN, I GUESS THEY COULD SUE US JUST LIKE THEY COULD SUE US FOR REQUIRING ANYTHING UNDER 2 32 IN THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE.

BUT THIS IS, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE ALREADY HAVE THE RIGHT TO DO.

WE'RE JUST NOT DOING IT.

WELL, COUNSELOR, YOU SAID YOU THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA.

POSSIBLY.

IS THAT CORRECT? UH, THE NUMBER ONE THING.

I THINK EVERYBODY IN THIS COURT WANTS WATER CONSERVATION AND PROTECTION OF OUR WATER FOR THE FUTURE.

I THINK THAT'S PLAIN AND SIMPLE.

NOBODY'S UP HERE SAYING, WE DON'T WANT ADOPT ANY OF THIS BECAUSE WE'RE PRO USE AS MUCH YOU WANT.

I THINK WE'RE ALL ON THE SAME BOAT.

IT'S JUST A MATTER OF THE VEHICLE AND HOW WE GET THERE.

SO YES, I THINK THIS WOULD PROBABLY BE A GOOD USEFUL WAY TO, TO ACCOMPLISH THAT.

I THINK IT WOULD WORK OUT GREAT.

SO I'M NOT SAYING THAT WE SHOULDN'T DO THAT, BUT WHATEVER THE COURT CHOOSES

[00:40:01]

I THINK BIGGER STAFF COULD LOOK AT IT AND COME BACK VERY QUICKLY ONCE THEY'RE ENGAGED AND SAY, YES, WE SHOULD PROCEED WITH THIS ONE AND MAYBE OFFER A FEW OTHERS, OR, OR IF WE APPROVE IT TODAY, THEY COULD STILL DO THAT AS WELL.

OR THEY COULD SAY, YEAH, OR THEY COULD SAY MAYBE THIS OVERREACHED, YOU KNOW, IF YOU DID IT.

SO I DON'T THINK THEY'RE GONNA SAY THAT SENATOR KING'S LEGAL COUNSEL DIDN'T THINK THAT THIS IS VERY CLEARLY ESTABLISHED STATE LAW.

WELL, THEY'RE HERE.

RIGHT? IT'S ON THE AGENDA.

UH, NOT UNTIL WE ENGAGE THEM.

SO ONCE, ONCE WE RETAIN THEM AS COUNSEL, THEN THEY'LL COMMUNICATE WITH US.

BUT AT THIS POINT WE DON'T, WE HAVE NO RELATION.

I VISITED WITH THEM AND THEY WILL TAKE US ON AS A CLIENT.

WE, WE VISITED WITH THEM.

SO, BUT THEY WILL TAKE US ON AS A CLIENT AT THAT POINT.

AND, AND PAT WAS INVOLVED IN THAT DISCUSSION.

AND I SAY THAT JOKINGLY, BUT THE EXPERTISE THAT THEY BRING, UH, WHEN WE WERE ON THAT CALL WITH THEM IS THAT, UM, THEY'RE, THEY OBVIOUSLY KNOW THEIR, THEIR BUSINESS.

THEY REPRESENT A LOT OF COUNTIES THAT DO THE VERY SAME THING.

AND I THINK WE'RE TALKING ABOUT BY RETAINING THEM, WE GET WHERE, UH, COMMISSIONER, I THINK WHERE WE NEED TO GO HERE.

WE'RE JUST PUTTING SOME PARAMETERS ON THIS AND DEFINING THIS TO A POINT WHERE, UH, THAT'S BEEN PROVEN.

AND IT WORKS IN SPECIFIC TO THE COUNTY OF WHICH, LIKE, OBVIOUSLY WE'RE NOT A TRAVIS COUNTY OR NOT A HARRIS COUNTY, BUT IT'S MORE SPECIFIC TO THAT.

AND, AND, AND JUST THE CONCERN OF THE, THE LIABILITY OF THIS IS A LITTLE BIT, ARE WE OVERREACHING, ARE WE NOT? AND SO WE WANNA PUT OUR BEST FOOT FORWARD IN THIS AS WE GO FORWARD.

SO THAT'S MY ONLY INPUT TO IT.

LEGAL COUNSEL FOR THE U-T-G-C-D RECOMMENDED THIS IN A CONVERSATION.

THE LEGAL COUNSEL FOR SENATOR KING'S OFFICE WHO SPECIALIZES IN WATER RECOMMENDED THIS.

I, I KEEP HEARING THAT THERE'S LEGAL LIABILITY, BUT THIS IS NO DIFFERENT THAN ANY OTHER STATUTORILY GRANTED AUTHORITY THAT WE HAVE TO REGULATE AT ALL.

THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT I'M, I'M MISSING HERE IS THE LAWS.

IS THAT CORRECT COUNSELOR? WHAT HE'S SAYING? I, I THINK THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IN, IN VISITING WITH, UH, CHUCK KIMBRO WITH BICKER STAFF, YOU KNOW, THEY BASICALLY SAID THERE'S GONNA BE LITIGATION AT SOME POINT.

THEY DON'T KNOW AT AT WHAT LEVEL.

AND, BUT THEY DO REALIZE THAT AT SOME POINT THERE'S GONNA BE LITIGATION ON THIS BECAUSE YOU'RE PUSHING THE ENVELOPE.

NORMALLY WITH COUNTIES, WE HAVE STATUTORY AUTHORITY.

IT'S VERY CLEARLY DEFINED IN THIS SITUATION.

IT'S NOT CLEARLY DEFINED.

IT JUST SAYS, HEY, COUNTIES GO OUT AND DO WHAT YOU NEED TO DO TO CONSERVE WATER.

AND THE LEGISLATION DIDN'T SPECIFICALLY SAY, HERE ARE THE STEPS TO DO THAT.

THEY'RE JUST SAYING BE CREATIVE AND GET THAT DONE.

AND SO THAT'S WHERE CHUCK SAID, BY ADOPTING CERTAIN THINGS, YOU MAY EXPOSE YOURSELF TO LITIGATION, WOULD YOU LOSE? THAT'S UP TO A COURT.

AND YOU KNOW, IT PROBABLY GOES ON UP BECAUSE WATER RIGHTS IN TEXAS ARE GONNA BE CLEARLY DEFINED OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS.

I MEAN, WE, WE SEE LEGISLATION COMING THROUGH THAT'S GONNA DUMP A TON OF A RAINY FUND, RAINY DAY FUND MONEY INTO COUNTIES AND HOPEFULLY FOR INFRASTRUCTURE.

AND HOPEFULLY WE'RE IN LINE TO GET SOME OF THAT MONEY.

BUT IT'S GONNA BE A CRITICAL ISSUE MOVING FORWARD.

IN THE PAST, UH, WATER'S ALWAYS BEEN RIGHT OF CAPTURE, JUST LIKE OIL AND GAS.

UM, NOW WE'RE GETTING TO A DIFFERENT POSITION WHERE IT MAY NOT BE RIGHT OF CAPTURE.

AND SO THAT'S, WE'RE REWRITING WATER LAW HERE IN TEXAS.

THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING.

IF WE DO RETAIN B STAFF AND THEY COME AND SPEAK, I THINK IT'LL BE CLEAR WITH THEIR EXPERTISE OF WHAT THEIR CAPABILITIES ARE.

I WAS A BIT SURPRISED OF HOW IN DEPTH THEY ARE WITH THIS, UH, TO BE QUITE FRANK.

AND I'D LIKE THE COURT TO HEAR THAT.

UH, BUT WE'LL GET TO THAT ITEM.

WE'RE ON THIS ITEM RIGHT NOW.

UH, WE'RE IN THE DISCUSSION PHASES OR ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM.

UH, I THINK I WOULD, I WOULD LOVE TO GET SOME GUIDANCE FROM THOSE EXPERTS AND TRY TO MAKE GOOD POSITIVE FIRST STEP OR CONTINUOUS STEPS TO ADDRESS THIS CONCERN.

'CAUSE IT'S SUCH A MAJOR ISSUE.

PERSONALLY, I'M A LITTLE BIT CONSERVATIVE.

I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GET THE INFORMATION SO THAT WE CAN MAKE A GOOD INFORMED DECISION GOING FORWARD WITH THIS.

THAT, SO I, I THINK I PERSONALLY FEEL MORE CONFIDENT THAT WAY.

ANY OTHER COMMENTS? AND I THINK THIS IS SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T NEED TO WAIT.

I MEAN, IF, IF WE GO THAT DIRECTION.

[00:45:01]

SINCE WE WERE ON THIS DISCUSSION, I WANNA MOVE DOWN TO

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM? I JUST WISH THAT I COULD BE, UH, UH, MORE INFORMED ABOUT THE BASIS THAT UPPER TRINITY WOULD USE FOR, UH, MAKING THE DETERMINATION.

AND, UH, WHAT CONCERNS ME IS, IF IT'S A, IS, YOU KNOW, NOBODY WANTS A SUBDIVISION NEXT TO THEIR HOUSE.

NOBODY WANTS A NEW SUBDIVISION NEXT TO THEM.

I DON'T, UH, I, I, I WANT, UH, TO MAINTAIN THE VIEW THAT I HAVE.

I WANNA MAINTAIN THE, THE, THE, ALL THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE BY LIVING IN THE, UH, YOU KNOW, UNINCORPORATED AREAS OF THE COUNTY.

UH, SO MY CONCERN IS THAT, THAT NOT HAVING A GOOD SCIENTIFIC BASIS FOR MAKING THAT DECISION, THEN, THEN I'M GONNA COME ALONG AND, AND WHEN SOMEBODY WANTS TO BUY THE PROPERTY NEXT TO MINE TO PUT A SUBDIVISION IN, I'M GONNA COME ALONG AND SAY, OH NO, THERE'S NO WATER HERE.

I ALREADY HAVE MY WATER ON MY PLACE.

BUT IF YOU PUT THAT SUBDIVISION IN, YOU'RE GONNA TAKE, TAKE AWAY MY WATER.

THAT'S MY CONCERN.

IF WE HAVE A GOOD, A GOOD, STRONG SCIENTIFIC BASIS FOR MAKING THOSE DECISIONS, I'M ALL IN.

UH, AND I, JUST BECAUSE WE VOTE FOR SOMETHING TODAY DOESN'T MEAN WE CAN'T VOTE THE OTHER WAY IN TWO WEEKS, RIGHT? UH, SO, UH, UH, I THINK THIS IS A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

HOWEVER, I, UH, I THINK THAT, UH, UH, WE WOULD BE WELL SERVED TO NOT HAVE THIS.

THE ONLY STEP, UM, THERE, THERE WAS, THERE WERE EFFORTS IN THE PAST TO, UH, COME IN AND JUST ARBITRARILY SAY YOU, YOU NEED TO INCREASE YOUR LOT SIZE ALL OVER PARKER COUNTY TO FIVE ACRES.

UH, UH, ALSO 10 ACRES, UH, DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU ARE.

AND, UH, THAT, THAT KIND OF ARBITRARY DECISION MAKING, UH, SEEMS TO ALWAYS COME FROM PEOPLE WHO LIVE ON A TWO ACRE SUBDIVISION WITH A WELL.

AND IT TAKES, DOES NOT TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THOSE THAT MIGHT HOLD PROPERTY.

UH, THAT'S DEVELOPABLE PROPERTY SOMETIME IN THE FUTURE.

IT'S, IT'S BACK TO THE I'VE GOT MINE.

AND WE DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU AS A PROPERTY OWNER AND WHAT, WHAT THE VALUE OF YOUR PROPERTY MIGHT BE.

SO WE REPRESENT EVERYBODY HERE IN PARKER COUNTY AS COMMISSIONERS.

WE REPRESENT, UH, PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN A A TWO ACRE SUBDIVISION.

WE, WE REPRESENT PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THE INCORPORATED AREAS OF THE CITIES.

AND WE, WE, UH, ALSO REPRESENT THOSE WHO ARE PRIVATE PROPERTY OWNERS THAT MIGHT OWN MORE THAN TWO ACRES.

SO WE HAVE TO TAKE ALL THAT INTO CONSIDERATION.

NO DECISION THAT WE MAKE HERE IN COURT IS EVER EASY.

I DON'T CARE IF IT'S JUST PAYING THE REGULAR BILLS.

IT'S, IT'S DIFFICULT.

AND WE WE'RE HERE TO MAKE DIFFICULT DECISIONS AND WHAT'S IN THE BEST INTEREST OF, OF THE, OF EVERY CITIZEN OF PARKER COUNTY, NOT JUST PART OF.

SO, UH, AGAIN, I'M IN FAVOR OF WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE.

UH, I'M IN FAVOR OF IT BECAUSE WE'VE GOT TO STOP DOING WHAT WE'RE DOING.

AND THEN THAT IS ALLOWING PEOPLE, UH, TO COME AND PUT A SUBDIVISION IN AND ADVERTISE THAT YOU'RE NOT GONNA HAVE A WATER BILL AND THAT YOU CAN WATER ALL YOU WANT.

AND THE FIRST THING THAT THEY DO IS PUT A SPRINKLER SYSTEM IN.

AND SO, UM, WE HAVE TO STAY, SAY STOP AT SOME POINT.

BUT THE CORRECT WAY TO DO IT, I'M, I'M NOT SURE OF I'M, I'M UNTRUE OF, I WISH IT WERE AS CUT AND DRIED AS AS JUST PASSING THIS MOTION RIGHT HERE.

BUT IT'S NOT.

WE HAVE TO TAKE EVERYTHING INTO CONSIDERATION, JUDGE, AND, AND, UH, UH, GOOD FIRST STEP.

NOT OPPOSED TO IT.

UH, I WISH WE HAD MORE QUESTIONS ANSWERED.

AGAIN, IF WE VOTE FOR IT TODAY, DOESN'T MEAN WE CAN'T COME BACK AND MODIFY IT OR, OR UNDO IT LATER IN COURT TODAY AS A MATTER OF FACT.

SO, OKAY.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM? I KNOW WE'VE HAD A LOT OF DISCUSSION ON THE PREVIOUS MEETING.

AND THEN, UH, UH, COMMISSIONER EARL, I DO APPRECIATE YOUR SPEAKING WITH ME ON THIS AND ALSO BRINGING IT BACK.

AND IT IS A CRITICAL ISSUE FOR THIS COUNTY, UH, BEING NUMBER ONE.

I'VE BEEN NUMBER ONE IN THE STATE OF DRILLING WELLS FOR YEARS.

UH, SO WE OBVIOUSLY NEED WHAT IS THE RIGHT VEHICLE TO SOLVE THAT ISSUE AS COMMISSIONER WALDEN IS, IS, UH, SO APPROPRIATELY SAID.

UM, IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM BEFORE WE GO TO A VOTE? ALL IN FAVOR.

MOTION PASSES.

THREE TWO, I THINK

[6.Q. Review and execute the contract with Bickerstaff Heath Delgado Acosta LLP and take any action the court deems necessary. (John Forrest / Judge Deen)]

[00:50:01]

ITEM SIX Q, REVIEW AND EXECUTE THE CONTRACT WITH BICKERS STAFF HEALTH DELGADO ACOSTA, LLP, AND TAKE ANY ACTION THE COURT DEEMS NECESSARY.

JOHN, AND ONCE AGAIN, I, I WAS IN CONTACT WITH, UH, B STAFF.

THEY HAVE EXPERTISE IN THIS.

UH, ONE THING THAT I WOULD RECOMMEND BASED ON THAT LAST VOTE IS WE ENGAGE THEM, GET A WORKSHOP SET UP AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE TO REVIEW WHAT WE'VE DONE AND WHAT WE NEED TO DO MOVING FORWARD.

AND I, I THINK THAT SHOULD BE DONE PRETTY QUICKLY AND JUST ENSURE THAT WE'RE ON THE RIGHT STEPS WITH OTHER COUNTIES THAT HAVE ALREADY ENGAGED BIGGER STAFF.

AND LIKE I SAID, I THINK THEY REPRESENT COUNTIES STATEWIDE.

I DON'T THINK IT'S JUST THE THREE THAT I'VE MENTIONED.

I KNOW THAT THAT'S JUST A THREE THAT KIMBRO REPRESENTS.

SO I THINK IT'S CRITICAL THAT WE GET ON BOARD WITH WHAT THE OTHER COUNTIES ARE DOING AND PUT THIS FIRST AND FOREMOST AND SAY THAT IT IS IMPORTANT TO THE EXTENT THAT WE'RE GONNA GET EXPERTS THAT ARE GONNA COME IN AND GUIDE US IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

SO THE ACTION THAT WE JUST TOOK ON THAT ONE, THEY CAN TAKE A LOOK AT THAT AND THEN START WORKING WITH THAT AND THEN WE COULD COME BACK.

ABSOLUTELY.

AND UH, WHILE I WAS NOT SUPPORTIVE OF THE VEHICLE RIGHT NOW, THAT DIDN'T MEAN I WASN'T GOING TO BE, UH, BUT RIGHT NOW, GIVEN THE INFORMATION, IT WAS JUST A BIT OF A CONCERN.

WE PUTTING THE CART IN FRONT OF THE HORSE AND THAT WAS MY ISSUE.

SO THAT'S WHY WANTED TO INSIDE.

I THINK THAT'S PRETTY CLEAR THAT THAT'S THE OPINION OF EVERYBODY RIGHT.

ON THIS, ON THIS COURT.

UNDERSTOOD.

WE WANT TO PROCEED FORWARD.

WE JUST WANT TO GET IT RIGHT AND, OKAY.

WELL, WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER HALE AND A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER CONLEY.

IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM? I, I'D JUST SAY THAT GIVEN, GIVEN THE WORK THAT WE'RE DOING WITH THE SUBDIVISION RULES, I'D LIKE TO BE INVOLVED IN THAT, IF THAT'S OKAY WITH THE COURT.

I I THINK THE WHOLE COURT SHOULD BE INVOLVED IN IT.

I THINK IT'S GONNA BE A WORKSHOP.

IT WILL BE WITH THE WHOLE COURT.

I THINK IT SHOULD BE JUST OPEN TO THE, 'CAUSE IT'S GONNA BE A, A STRAIGHT, SO NOT, NOT LIKE A REGULAR COMMITTEE.

IT, IT'S NOT GONNA BE A PIECEMEAL OKAY.

DEAL.

YEP.

LET'S GO.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION, PAUL? ONE MORE JUDGE.

SORRY.

I WAS GONNA JUST, UM, ASK AS FAR AS FUNDING GOES OF WHERE THIS WILL BE PAID FOR, UM, WE DO HAVE IN OUR NON-DEPARTMENTAL EXPENSE LITIGATION FOR, UM, IF WE HAVE TO PLAY PAY DEDUCTIBLES TO TACK FOR CERTAIN GENERAL LIABILITY OR ELECTED OFFICIAL LIABILITY OF THAT SORT OF THING.

SO, UM, WE'LL ONCE WE, YOU KNOW, UM, AGREEMENTS EXECUTED WE'LL NEED TO GET A PO TO THEM FOR AN ESTIMATED AMOUNT, UM, TO START OFF.

BUT ANY SORT OF EXCESS, I GUESS, APPROVAL TO PULL THAT FROM PROGRAM CONTINGENCIES.

C ON DISCUSSION AND APPROVED ASSET FORFEITURE ILA BETWEEN THE PARKER COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE AND THE WISES COUNTY DA'S OFFICE.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? MOTION CARRIES FIVE.

OH, OKAY.

WE'LL MOVE BACK TO ITEM SIX

[6.C. Discuss / approve asset forfeiture ILA between the Parker County Sheriffs Office and the Wise County DA's Office. (Russ Authier)]

GOOD MORNING, MARK.

THIS IS JUST A STANDARD INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN US AND THE WISES COUNTY DA'S OFFICE ON OUR FORFEITURE, UH, WHERE SEIZE, UH, ITEMS UNDER CHAPTER 59 VEHICLES, CASH, THINGS LIKE THAT.

ITEM D, DISCUSS APPROVED SPACE ALLOCATION AT 8 0 1 SANTA FE DRIVE.

WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER CONLEY, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN.

IS THERE ANY OF THE DISCUSSION OF THIS ITEM REPORT? VOTE.

YOU MARK, MOVE TO ITEM C ON DISCUSS AND APPROVE.

DONE THAT ONE.

SORRY.

[6.D. Discuss / Approve space allocation at 801 Santa Fe Dr. (Russ Authier / Judge Deen)]

UH, RUSS AND CRICKET, IF YOU COULD COME ON UP AS WELL.

WELL, LET'S HEAR FROM RUSS FIRST AND THEN WE'LL HAVE YOU COME UP.

THANK YOU, SIR.

UH, I, I THINK EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT THE OLD POLICE DEPARTMENT, 8 0 1 SANTA FE, THAT, UH, ONE OF OUR INVESTIGATIVE, UH, UH, UNITS, UH, IS HOUSED EXCLUSIVELY IN THAT BUILDING.

UH, RECENTLY A, UH, LARGE AGENCY, UH, APPROACHED US AND THEY'LL PROBABLY BE JOINING OUR GROUP AND THE VERY NEAR FUTURE.

SO I FIGURED THE SPACE ALLOCATION, WE NEEDED TO MOVE PRETTY QUICK TO DO THAT ALONG WITH CRICKET.

UH, WE KIND OF GOT TOGETHER AND WE'VE DRAWN UP THE PLAN AMIABLY AND, AND I, I THINK IT'LL WORK FOR BOTH OF US.

IT'LL CERTAINLY WORK FOR THE NEEDS OF OUR INVESTIGATIVE UNIT THERE AND HOPEFULLY WITH Y'ALL'S BLESSING AND APPROVAL THAT, THAT, THAT WILL GET DONE.

BUT YOU'RE WORKING TOGETHER AS A TEAM AND THAT'S WHAT WE ARE.

CRICKET, DO YOU WANNA COME UP FIRST? I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO BOTH OF YOU FOR WORKING TOGETHER.

IT'S ALWAYS GOOD TO COLLABORATE WITHIN DEPARTMENTS AND I CAN GET ALONG,

[00:55:01]

WELL, YOU'RE WELCOME.

BUT THAT, THAT IS PART OF THE COUNTY.

THE COUNTY WORKS AS A WHOLE AND WE ALL SHOULD DEPARTMENT, DEPARTMENT WORK TOGETHER TO MAKE THINGS BETTER FOR PARKER COUNTY.

NOT TO BE INDIVIDUALIZED.

UM, I JUST WANTED TO BRING UP THAT IN, ORIGINALLY IN THE BEGINNING I HAD ASKED FOR 10,000 SQUARE FEET.

UM, WE GOT 7,000 7 45 RIGHT NOW WHEN WE DID THE DEMO WALKTHROUGH THE OTHER DAY, UM, WHEN WE GIVE UP, IF THE COURT WANTS TO GIVE THIS SPACE TO THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE, THEN WE'LL HAVE 7,175 SQUARE FEET.

UM, THAT'S 2000 OF IT IS GONNA BE FOR JUST THE VOTING AREA.

THE ONLY ISSUE I HAVE IS THAT WHEN Y'ALL ASKED WAS HOW LONG ARE WE GONNA BE ABLE TO BE THERE? AND I HAD SAID 10 YEARS, BUT THAT WAS WITH THE ORIGINAL 10,000 SQUARE FEET.

SO YOU'RE TAKING AWAY FROM OUR SPACE.

BUT I THINK THAT IT'S A GOOD THING TOO, THAT WE CAN WORK AND THE SHERIFF CAN HAVE WHAT HE NEEDS TO HAVE TOO.

I JUST SAY AT SOME POINT IN TIME, OUR SPACE IS GONNA BE TAKEN UP.

SO I JUST WANNA MAKE THAT KNOWN TOO.

I THINK WE CAN ADD ON TO THAT BUILDING LATER ON, CAN'T WE? I DON'T KNOW WHY WE COULD.

I DON'T.

AND CRICKET, IF, IF AT SOME POINT THE STUFF THAT IS MARKED FOR, SO UHHUH IS CONVERTED BACK OVER TO YOU BECAUSE WE HAVE A NEW FACILITY FOR THE SO WOULD THAT GET US CLOSER TO THE 10 YEAR TIMELINE? YES, SIR.

THAT WOULD BE WONDERFUL.

AND THAT, AND I THINK THAT'S ANOTHER THING THAT AS TIME GOES ON, WE CAN STILL WORK TOO AND WORK WITH EACH OTHER TO GIVE BACK OR YEAH, WHATEVER.

I I THINK WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE ENOUGH SPACE RIGHT NOW FOR OUR 10 YEAR PROJECTIONS, BUT I THINK WE'RE, RIGHT NOW WE'RE STRUGGLING FOR OUR ONE YEAR PROJECTIONS.

AND I BELIEVE EVERYBODY IN THE COUNTY HAS THE SAME PROBLEM THAT WE DO.

SO WHERE IT SAYS BREAK, BREAK ROOM, WHERE WE, UH, THAT WILL ACTUALLY BE A PORTION OF THAT OR HALF OF THAT, UH, WILL BE FOR THE ACCESSORIES, UM, STORAGE FOR THE ELECTIONS EQUIPMENT, RIGHT? YES.

I HAVE, I HAVE A DRAWING THAT YOU HAVE AN UPDATED ONE THAN THIS.

SO EVERY SQUARE INCH YOU'RE GIVEN TO ME, I'M GONNA USE, SO I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT.

BUT I THINK IT, WHEN THE ORIGINAL DRAWING THAT THE ARCHITECT DONE, IT JUST SAYS BREAK.

WE'RE GONNA USE IT FOR NUMEROUS OTHER THINGS.

AND I DO HAVE ANOTHER LITTLE THING THAT SENT TO EACH ONE OF YOU THAT SAYS WHAT WE'RE ACTUALLY USING, WHAT WILL BE SUPPLIED INTO THOSE SPACES.

UM, IF YOU WOULD LIKE THAT, I CAN SEND THAT TO YOU.

BUT THE BREAK ROOM THERE IS, THE BREAK ROOM IS GONNA BE A MULTIPURPOSE ROOM.

SO WE'RE GONNA HAVE OUR COPIER, WE'RE GONNA ALSO BE USING THAT AS OUR MAILING SYSTEM.

'CAUSE I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY HOW THE MAIL IS GONNA GO WHEN WE DO MOVE OVER THERE IF WE'LL HAVE TO SEND THINGS BACK TO THE ANNEX TO GET IT MAILED OUT AND STUFF.

HOW'D Y'ALL WORK OUT THE CONFERENCE? SORRY TO INTERRUPT.

GO AHEAD.

THE CONFERENCE BRIEFING ROOM WHERE INVESTIGATORS, AND IT SAYS CONFERENCE BRIEFING ROOM.

CAN YOU CLARIFY THAT FOR US? IN THAT CENTER, CENTER OFFICE THAT WE IS THAT MARK ON THAT ONE? THE TRAINING ON THAT ONE? IT'S MARKED TRAINING.

TRAINING ROOM.

AND THAT'S THE ONE ON YOURS THAT SHE'LL GIVE TO THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE.

AND WE'LL MAKE THAT WE, WE CAN CUT THAT UP AND MAKE A COUPLE OFFICERS IN THE CONFERENCE ROOM.

VERY WELL.

I, I HAD A QUICK QUESTION.

THAT VOTING AREA, I DON'T KNOW THAT WE HAVE A LOT OF FOLKS IN ALONG LINES ON IT'S ELECTION TIME.

SO I'M VERY, VERY UNDERSTANDING OF THAT.

IT'S A LITTLE UNDER 2200 FEET.

I THINK YOU AND I DISCUSSED ABOUT FLEX SPACE, BUT WHY WOULDN'T WE BE ABLE TO TAKE, WE HAVE ABOUT 1100 FEET FOR VOTING MACHINE STORAGE.

WHY COULDN'T WE JUST STORE THOSE VOTING MACHINES IN THE VOTING AREA WHILE IT'S NOT BEING USED FOR VOTING? WE COULD, BUT THEN WHERE ARE WE GONNA PUT 'EM WHEN WE DO START HAVING VOTING? SO IT'S JUST LIKE AT THE ANNEX RIGHT NOW.

OH, IF USED THEM FOR THE VOTING WE DO, BUT WHERE, UH, FOR ALL, ALL RIGHT NOW WE HAVE THOSE CAGES THAT ARE ALL DOWN IN THE ANNEX THAT WE PUT OUT IN THE HALLWAYS.

SO WE WOULD HAVE TO HAVE SOME PLACE TO GO WITH ALL THAT EQUIPMENT, WITH ALL THE CAGES, UHHUH, .

PLUS DURING EARLY VOTING, YOU'RE NOT USING EVERYTHING.

SO YOU'VE GOTTA MOVE THAT SOMEWHERE ALSO.

UM, YEAH, I'M NOT, I DON'T RUN UNDERSTAND THIS DEPARTMENT.

THAT'S WHY I'M JUST ASKING BECAUSE WHEN I LOOK AT THAT, THESE ARE KIND OF QUESTIONS THAT COME TO MIND SINCE WE'RE IN SUCH A GROWTH , RIGHT? WE'RE GROWING SO FAST AND HAVE SUCH GROWING PAINS HERE.

SPACE TO OTHER, TO BENEFIT OTHER FOLKS IN THE COUNTY, I, I WOULD HIGHLY ENCOURAGE US TO, TO KIND OF TRY TO THINK OUTSIDE OF THE BOX AND DO MORE LIKE THAT.

REAL ESTATE IS SUCH A PREMIUM.

I'M JUST TRYING TO WELL, AND I REALLY HOPE THAT THE WHOLE COUNTY USES THE VOTING AS WHEN WE'RE NOT IN AN ELECTION CYCLE TO USE AS MEETINGS.

'CAUSE WE HAVE NO MEETING SPACE IN THE COUNTY THAT I KNOW OF WHERE WE CAN HAVE AN ACTUAL MEETING, WHETHER IT'S FROM A DIFFERENT COUNTY COMING OVER TO MEET WITH ANOTHER COUNTY OR IF IT'S JUST COUNTY LIKE THE HR.

I KNOW SHE GOES AND USES DIFFERENT AREAS IN THE COUNTY TO HAVE MEETINGS.

UH, THEY HAVE THE TRAINING CENTER OUT ON, UH, BE BE THANK YOU.

UM, AND I HOPE THAT WE CAN USE THAT BECAUSE I KNOW THE COUNTY NEEDS THAT SPACE.

I, I THINK IT'S GREAT.

I APPRECIATE YOU THINKING THAT WAY.

I THINK I WOULD ENCOURAGE EVERY DEPARTMENT TO THINK THAT WAY.

IF THERE'S WAYS THAT, THAT WE CAN USE

[01:00:01]

SO THANK YOU.

YOU'RE WELCOME VERY MUCH.

E ON ELECTIONS ADMINISTRATION BUILDING PARKING LOT PLANS.

MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER CONLEY, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER HALE.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? CARRIE? FIVE OH MOVE TO ITEM

UH, DO YOU WANNA SPEAK FOR KIM AND CRICKET? OKAY.

UH, REQUESTING APPROVAL OF THE ELECTIONS ADMINISTRATION BUILDING PARKING LOT PLANS PRESENTED BY JACOB MARKIN ARCHITECT JIM HOPKINS, WHO I BELIEVE IS HERE TO SPEAK ON IT.

AND, UH, KIM HAS PROVIDED YOU ALL WITH A COPY OF THE, OF THE PLANS FOR THE DISCUSSION.

SO IT SHOULD BE WITH THE INFORMATION I HANDED OUT.

BRIANNA, HOW MUCH MONEY DO WE HAVE FOR THIS PROJECT OF AVAILABLE? UM, I WOULD HAVE TO LOOK AT THE BREAKDOWN OF WHAT THIS ENGINEERING FOR THE WHOLE, UM, PROJECT, BUT 9 7, 9 6.

I'M TIM HOPKINS WITH, UH, JACOB MARTIN.

I'M THE ARCHITECT FOR THE, UH, INTERIOR REDESIGN.

UM, OR THE INTERIOR FINISH OUT OF THE 8 0 1 I HAVE WITH ME, UM, DEREK TURNER WITH OUR OFFICE WHO'S THE CIVIL ENGINEER WHO HAS DONE THE DESIGN PLANS FOR THE PARKING LOT.

SO IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON, ON THE, ON THAT, UM, DEREK'S HERE TO, TO HELP ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

HOW ARE THE HYDRAULIC, HOW'S THE HYDROLOGY FOR THAT LOT IN THE PARKING? IT LOOKS KIND OF CHALLENGING.

WELL, EVERYTHING DRAINS TO THAT NORTH SIDE SO WE CAN DRAIN EVERYTHING PRETTY MUCH THROUGH THE PARKING LOT.

NATURAL DRAIN.

YEAH, I THINK THAT WAS MAYBE AN ISSUE, BUT PRIOR WITH THE PRIOR OWNERS.

OH, REALLY? YEAH.

SO I WAS WONDERING IF YOU HAD MUCH.

FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN, I DON'T THINK THERE'S GONNA BE TOO BIG OF A PROBLEM, BUT OKAY.

UH, WE FINALIZED THE, THE LAYOUT.

WE'LL, WE'LL CERTAINLY REVIEW THAT.

WELL, THERE'S A BIG, UH, DRAINAGE GRAY.

KINDA ON THE, I GUESS IT WOULD BE KIND OF THE SOUTHEAST CORNER THERE.

THAT GOES TO A CULVERT THAT GOES UNDERNEATH AND DRAINS TO THE EAST.

AND IT IS ABOUT TWO FEET THROUGH ABOUT TWO FEET WORTH OF LEAVES CUT, BLOCKING IT CURRENTLY.

AND I COULD JUST SEE THAT WHEN I WALKED THE PROPERTY THE OTHER DAY THAT THAT'S A POTENTIAL ISSUE WITH THIS THAT I HEARD HAD BEEN AN ISSUE IN THE PAST.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? NO.

OTHER, WE'RE SUPPOSEDLY GONNA GET RID OF MOST OF THOSE TREES, IF NOT ALL OF THEM.

YOU'LL BE, YOU'LL BE PAVING A GOOD PORTION OF THAT.

SO THAT'LL, THAT'LL HAVE AN IMPACT ON THAT.

DO WE HAVE A MOTION? MOTION WILL BE BOTH.

COMMISSIONER CONY SECOND BY COMMISSIONER HOLDEN.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL FAVOR, CARRIE? FIVE.

WHEN DISCUSSING TAKE ACTION ON NECESSARY, I'M SORRY.

MOVE TO ITEM F

[6.F. Discuss and take action necessary regarding ARPA Projects and approve the procurement of the following. (Kim Rivas / Commissioner Walden)]

TAKE ACTION NECESSARY REGARDING ARPA PROJECTS AND APPROVE THE PROCUREMENT FOR THE FOLLOWING.

SEEKING APPROVAL, UH, FOR PC 24 DASH 79.

DISPATCH DISPATCH.

EXPANSION FURNITURE FROM RUSS BASSETT CORPORATION, HGAC CONTRACT EC ZERO SEVEN DASH 23.

UM, THIS IS APPROVAL FOR THE PROCUREMENT RIGHT NOW.

THE QUOTE THAT WE HAVE, UM, FROM THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE THAT YOU ALL HAD APPROVED FROM ARPA FUNDS IS 1 9 5 6 11 50.

UM, I'LL LET ANNETTE SPEAK A LITTLE BIT MORE TO IT, BUT I BELIEVE, UM, YOU WERE WORKING ON REFRESHING PART OF THIS QUOTE, SO THAT AMOUNT MAY GO UP.

UM, SO WE'RE HOPING THAT WE'LL HAVE IT THIS WEEK AND UPDATED MAYBE, UM, FOR PURPOSES OF OUR ARPA DISCUSSION, UM, MEETING.

SO WE HAVE A CONCRETE, UM, NUMBER AND KNOW WHAT ADDITIONAL FUNDS ARE LEFT TO OBLIGATE.

SO YOU WANT US TO, BUT THIS IS FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE PROCUREMENT USING THIS CONTRACT FOR THIS VENDOR.

SO WE'RE APPROVING ITEM ONE, ITEM, AN ITEM THAT DOESN'T HAVE AN ITEM OF VALUE TO IT.

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH IT MAY GO UP OR WHAT IS CHANGING FROM THE, FROM WHAT THERE'S BEEN PROVIDED? THE REASON I'M QUESTIONING CHIEF IS 'CAUSE THERE, INITIALLY IT WAS LIKE 135, NOW WE'RE AT A HUNDRED, 190 SOMETHING AND I DIDN'T KNOW WHERE WE'RE

[01:05:01]

GONNA LAND.

RIGHT? WHENEVER I INITIALLY SUBMITTED MY ARPA REQUEST, I USED THE WRONG CALCULATION.

THAT WAS THE 1 35.

THE, THE ORIGINAL QUOTE THAT WE HAD FROM, I DUNNO, SIX MONTHS AGO WAS 1 95.

SO WHENEVER THEY MADE THE ORIGINAL QUOTE, IT WAS BASED ON A DIFFERENT DESIGN.

UM, WE HAVE CHANGED THE DESIGN TO ENCOMPASS MORE, UM, OFFICE SPACE AND REDO THE ACTUAL DISPATCH SUPERVISORS CUBICLE TO MAKE IT AN ACTUAL FUNCTIONAL, UM, DISPATCH STATION.

SO I EXPECT THE COST TO GO UP.

UM, AND BOTH OF THESE ITEMS, I, I WOULD SUGGEST, I MEAN, I DIDN'T PUT 'EM ON HERE.

I WAS THIS, I KNEW THAT WE WERE GONNA BE STRUGGLING TO COME UP WITH QUOTES BY THIS TIME, AND I KNEW THAT WE PROBABLY WOULDN'T HAVE IT DONE YET, BUT I EXPECT THESE, BOTH THESE, UH, ITEMS, THE QUOTES TO INCREASE SOME.

SO, AND GIVEN OUR TIMING AND NEEDING TO APPROVE THE PROCUREMENT TO BE ABLE TO, ONCE WE GOT THEM, OR THE HOPE WITH BEFORE THE ARPA MEETING, SINCE THE COURT HAD APPROVED THESE PROJECTS, WAS TO, TO BE ABLE TO MOVE AHEAD WITH THESE, BECAUSE WE ARE RUNNING OUT OF TIME.

AND THEN ALSO DETERMINING OF COURSE, WHAT WE HAVE LEFT, UM, TO OBLIGATE.

ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? WE'RE GONNA, WE'RE GONNA APPROVE THESE.

I'M, I'M GONNA MOVE TO APPROVE THE, UH, DISPATCH EXPANSION FURNITURE.

AND THIS IS FOR ITEM ONE ONLY.

THIS MOTION IS MADE BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN PROCEED THREE.

AND, UH, COMMISSIONER HOL PROCEED.

IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM? YES.

UH, I WOULD ASK THAT WE BRING THAT BACK TO COURT AGAIN SO THAT WE CAN REVIEW IT AND GIVE A SECONDARY APPROVAL ONCE WE HAVE THE DOLLAR VALUE.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR, CURIOUS FAVO.

ITEM TWO ON THE PC 24 80 MOTOROLA REPEATERS.

UH, WE'LL HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH THIS ONE.

THIS IS APPROVAL FOR PC 24 DASH EIGHT ZERO MOTOROLA RADIO REPEATERS FOR 15 PARKER COUNTY ISDS THROUGH HGAC CONTRACT 1 7 7 2 4.

UH, THE QUOTE THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE, UM, WITH MOTOROLA IS FOR 2 82 5 7 6 0.30.

UM, I KNOW THAT THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE IS PLANNING TO DO A WALKTHROUGH WITH MOTOROLA JUST TO ENSURE THAT, UM, WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THIS QUOTE.

THERE'S NOT ANY ADDITIONAL COSTS INCURRED FOR IN INSTALLATION.

DO WE NEED TO MOVE DOWN THE, IS THERE ANYONE HERE TO NUMBER FIVE ON PRECINCT ITEM FIVE PRECINCT? WHAT? SO WE NEED TO HEAR FIVE FIRST ONE PRECINCT ONE, SORRY.

OKAY, WE'LL MOVE TO MOVE TO ITEM FIVE ON PRECINCT ONE.

THIS IS UNDER ITEM NINE PLATS, WHICH IS TO APPROVE THE FINAL REVISION OF A SUBDIVISION KNOWN AS CHERRY VALLEY FARMS CONSISTING OF 1.63 ACRES DEVELOPED BY ANGELO J PEREZ, JR.

LOCATED OFF OF EAST CHERRY DRIVE WITH AQUA TEXAS INCORPORATED WATER AND PRECINCT ONE AND IS PUBLIC HEARING.

OKAY, THIS IS A, UH, 1.63 ACRE TRACK OF LAND.

IT'S BEING DIVIDED INTO TWO SECTIONS.

LOT FIVE R ONE IS GONNA HAVE 0.7035 ACRES.

FIVE R TWO IS GONNA HAVE 0.9, 3 0 9 ACRES.

UH, THIS IS A FAMILY SPLIT, UM, FROM GRANDFATHER TO GRANDSON.

UH, WE DID RUN, UM, ADS IN THE PAPER AND SENT OUT 38 CERTIFIED LETTERS TO LET LANDOWNERS KNOW WHEN WE ORIGINALLY PULLED THE D RESTRICTIONS FOR THIS PROPERTY.

THERE WAS NOTHING PROHIBITING A SPLIT.

WE DID GET A CALL LAST WEEK, UH, FROM A RESIDENT THAT RECEIVED HIS LETTER AND STATED THAT SOME AMENDED RESTRICTIONS WERE FILED IN IN 1977.

UM, THERE IS AN EXCEPTION IN HERE THAT SAYS NONE OF THE SAID LOTS SHALL BE RE SUBDIVIDED WITHOUT SPECIFIC APPROVAL OF THE DEDICATOR IN ANY FASHION, EXCEPT THAT ANY PERSON OWNING TWO OR MORE ADJOINING LOTS MAY CONSOLIDATE SUCH LOTS INTO ONE BUILDING SITE.

UH, THERE IS NO ACTIVE HOA, THESE RESTRICTIONS DO HAVE AN AUTOMATIC RENEWAL EVERY 10 YEARS.

HOWEVER, BASED OFF OF THIS, THE DEDICATOR, UH, MR. CHERRY HAS PASSED AWAY, SO I'M NOT REALLY SURE WHAT TO DO WITH THAT, BUT I KNOW THAT THERE ARE SOME, THE GRANDSON IS HERE IN ATTENDANCE AS WELL AS SOME MEMBERS FROM THE, UM, SUBDIVISION.

WE'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 1105 ON ITEM FIVE, PRECINCT ONE.

IS THERE ANYONE HERE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THAT ITEM? OBJECTION PAPER OR COME ON UP EITHER WAY.

YEAH, JUST COME ON UP AND STATE YOUR NAME.

MY NAME'S RAYMOND MC.

UH, BASICALLY I WAS, UH, TRYING TO SET IT UP WHERE I COULD LIVE ON SITE TO TAKE CARE OF THEM.

UH, DOROTHY ACTUALLY HAS A BUSTED HIP AND, AND, UH, ANGELO HAS A FAILING KIDNEY, SO HE IS ON DIALYSIS.

SO WE WERE TRYING TO SET IT UP WHERE I COULD PUT, YOU KNOW, A HOME IN THE BACK, UH, UNDER A MORTGAGE AND ALL THAT OTHER GOOD STUFF AND, AND I'D BE TAKING CARE OF THEM DIRECTLY AND LIVING ON SITE.

UH, THAT WAS, THAT WAS THE, THE PLAN.

SO, UH, WE'VE ALREADY DONE A LOT OF CLEANING UP ON THE PROPERTY.

UH, AS FAR AS THE, THE SINGLE WIDE THAT ME AND, UH, GENTLEMAN WERE TALKING ABOUT, UH, THAT THERE WAS A HUGE OS SO THAT'S GONNA BE MOVED OFF.

AND THEN ALL UTILITIES, WELL, I'VE ALREADY DONE ELECTRIC.

UH, SO WITH THE, UH, WITH WHATEVER Y'ALL DECIDE, WE'LL UH, HAVE THE WATER

[01:20:01]

AND EVERYTHING PUT IN.

BUT, UM, THAT'S, THAT'S ALL WE HAVE.

IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO COME UP AND SPEAK AND STATE YOUR NAME PLEASE? MY NAME IS GLENN BALOG.

UH, I'VE BEEN A PARKER COUNTY RESIDENT FOR A LITTLE OVER 20 YEARS AND I OWN FOUR LOTS IN THIS, UH, SUBDIVISION.

AND THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK ROW HERE, THEY, THEY REPRESENT, UH, ONE, ONE OWNER HAS THREE LOTS AND ANOTHER OWNER HAS HAS ANOTHER LOT AND, AND WE'RE OPPOSED TO THIS, UH, BECAUSE IT IS A VIOLATION OF THE, OF THE DEED RESTRICTIONS.

THE DEED RESTRICTIONS WERE IN PLACE WHEN, WHEN WE ALL MOVED THERE, WE ALL AGREED TO TO FOLLOW THEM.

UH, IT TAKES AWAY OUR RIGHT TO PRIVACY AND QUIET ENJOYMENT, UH, BY INCREASING THE HOUSING THAT IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

I, I'M SORRY FOR THE PERSONAL MEDICAL ISSUES THAT HE'S HAVING THERE, BUT THAT DOESN'T, UH, GIVE A GOOD REASON FOR SPLITTING UP A LOT.

THERE'S 47 LOTS IN THE SUBDIVISION.

IT'S BEEN IN PLACE FOR OVER 40 YEARS AND THERE'S NEVER BEEN A SPLIT LOT IN, IN THAT TIME PERIOD THERE EVERY LOT IS OVER AN ACRE.

SO 1, 1, 1 LOT IS 0.99 ACRES.

BUT ALL, ALL THE, THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS LARGE LOTS, ONE SINGLE FAMILY HOME.

THAT'S ALL THAT'S ALLOWED ON THE, ON EACH LOT IS ONE DWELLING AND ONE ONE OUTBUILDING.

THE DEED RESTRICTIONS ARE PRETTY CLEAR THAT THAT'S ALL THAT'S ALLOWED.

DEED RESTRICTIONS SAY THEY'RE FOR THE PURPOSE OF PROTECTING THE VALUE AND DESIRABILITY OF THE PROPERTIES.

UH, IF SOMEBODY DOESN'T LIKE THE RESTRICTIONS, THERE IS A PROCESS THEY RENEW AUTOMATICALLY EVERY 10 YEARS, BUT EVERY FIVE YEARS YOU CAN GET TOGETHER WITH 50% OF THE LOT FRONTAGE OWNERS TO PROPOSE A CHANGE.

AND THEN FOUR YEARS LATER YOU NEED 75% OF THOSE OWNERS TO AGREE TO THAT CHANGE AND THEN IT COMES INTO PLACE.

SO EVEN THOUGH THERE IS NO HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION, THERE STILL IS A PROCESS IN PLACE TO CHANGE THE DEED RESTRICTIONS IF YOU DON'T LIKE THEM.

JUST GOING AHEAD AND SPLITTING UP A LOT WITHOUT TALKING TO OWNERS IS, IS NOT THE APPROPRIATE WAY TO DO THAT.

UH, LIKE I SAID, IT CHANGES THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

UM, WE ALREADY HAVE A PROBLEM.

SO CAN I, CAN I GET CLARIFICATION ON SOMETHING YOU JUST SAID? SO IF HE WANTS TO MAKE A CHANGE OR SOMEBODY WANTS TO MAKE A CHANGE, THE SOONEST THAT CHANGE COULD ACTUALLY BECOME EFFECTIVE IS FOUR YEARS FROM NOW.

UH, ACTUALLY A LITTLE BIT LONGER THAN THAT BECAUSE THE, THE DEED RESTRICTIONS WE RENEW EVERY 10 YEARS.

THE LAST TIME THAT WAS WAS, UH, 2017, YOU HAVE TO PROPOSE THE CHANGE AT THE FIVE YEAR POINT, WHICH WOULD'VE BEEN 2022.

SO THE NEXT TIME THAT THAT COULD BE PROPOSED IS EIGHT, EIGHT YEARS FROM NOW HE COULD PROPOSE THAT CHANGE.

IT'S, IT'S A MULTI-YEAR PROCESS.

UM, IT WOULD BE, UH, 2027 WOULD BE THE EARLIEST THAT IT COULD TAKE EFFECT.

SO IT'S, IT'S NOT A SHORT TERM PROCESS TO DO THAT.

YOU CAN'T JUST GO GET A, A VOTE OF PEOPLE TODAY, EVEN IF A HUNDRED PERCENT OF THE LANDOWNERS AGREED TO IT TODAY.

YOU CAN'T CHANGE THE DEED RESTRICTIONS TODAY.

BUT YOU SAID THAT I'M NOT A LAWYER FOR, YOU SAID THAT THERE WAS A FOUR YEAR WAITING PERIOD, BUT THEN IT TAKES EFFECT AT THE NEXT 10 YEARS.

SO WOULDN'T IT BE 2037? I THINK YOU, YOU'RE, YOU'RE, YOU'RE, YOU'RE, YOU'RE RIGHT.

20, 20 37.

YES, IT IS, IT IS A LENGTHY PROCESS.

COUNCILORS IS ALL THAT CORRECT? AS LONG AS IT'S AN ESTABLISHED VOTING, IF THAT ESTABLISHED WOULD BE VALID.

SO REGARDLESS OF THE, THE REVISION PROCESS, IF THE RULES CURRENTLY STATE NO FURTHER REVISION, THEN OKAY, SO WE'RE BOUND BY THAT AMENDMENT.

CORRECT.

OKAY, SO WE CAN'T SPLIT IT, CORRECT.

I DON'T DON'T NEED TO SAY ANYMORE THAN I GUESS.

ALRIGHT.

WELL IT'S BLACK AND WHITE.

WE CAN'T SPLIT IT.

I THINK, I THINK THE ISSUE HERE WAS THAT THERE WAS A, THERE WAS A, A BASIC DEED RESTRICTION AND THEN THERE WAS AN AMENDMENT DONE BACK IN 1977.

SO THERE WAS A PROCESS THAT WAS FOLLOWED.

AND SO I, I THINK THAT THEY WERE JUST LOOKING AT THE ORIGINAL ONE IN, BUT NOT THE A THERE WERE ACTUALLY TWO AMENDMENTS.

THERE WAS ANOTHER ONE DONE IN 82 THAT HAD THAT SAME RESTRICTION IN THERE.

SO THERE'S, THERE'S SEVERAL AMENDMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN DONE TO THE DEED RESTRICTIONS, BUT I DON'T THINK THAT THEIR INITIAL SUBMISSION HAD THE FULL DEED RESTRICTION.

ANYBODY ELSE WOULD LIKE TO COME UP AND SPEAK? I THINK YOU PRETTY MUCH SPOKE FOR ALL OF YOU.

I THINK IT'S STRAIGHTFORWARD.

I MOVE TO, BASED ON THE ESTABLISHED RIGHTS, NOT APPROVE THE REVISION.

UH, WE'RE GONNA CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT, UH, 1111 AND MOVE TO THE ITEM.

WELL, IF I'M HEARING YOU RIGHT, COUNSELOR, WE ALL, WE ONLY HAVE ONE CHOICE AND THAT'S TO DENY THAT REVISION.

CORRECT.

IF AN INDIVIDUAL COMES TO THE COURT AND PROTEST AN ESTABLISH, RIGHT, WHICH IS WHAT WAS GIVEN UNDER THOSE RESTRICTIONS, THEN OUR OBLIGATION IS TO ABIDE BY THOSE ESTABLISHED RIGHTS.

THE SYSTEM APPROVE IT.

SO IF NOBODY HAD COME TO COMPLAINT, THEN OBVIOUSLY IT COULD HAVE MOVED FORWARD.

SO WE DON'T, WE DON'T EVEN HAVE TO VOTE THEN.

UH, IT SAYS TO APPROVE THE FINE WE, WE'D VOTE NOT TO APPROVE.

[01:25:02]

SO THAT'S A LIE.

MOTION WILL BE BY COMMISSIONER CONNELLEY, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER HILL.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR CARRIES PO.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO SAY ANY MORE ABOUT IT OR WE JUST, WE DISAPPROVED IT.

YOU DID WHAT? DID NOT APPROVE IT.

WE DID NOT APPROVE IT.

I NOT APPROVE.

NO, THAT WAS JUST BASED ON THOSE ESTABLISHED RIGHTS.

YOU MAY NOT HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THAT AMENDMENT.

I I WASN'T BUT HE HAD ALREADY INFORMED.

WE'D ALREADY TALKED LIKE JUST ON THE PHONE.

THIS IS BEFORE THE HEARING.

I WAS JUST GONNA SEE, HEY, THERE'S SOMETHING OUT.

THIS VARIANCE IS FOR A, UH, THEY HAVE ONE TRACK COMING OFF THIS COUNTY ROAD AND IT HAS APPROXIMATELY 247 FEET.

SO THIS IS A THREE LOT SUBDIVISION.

UH, THE OTHER TWO LOTS HAVE AN EASEMENT COMING OFF OF THIS MAIN TRACK, UM, FOR LOT TWO, WHICH IS A 5.16 ACRE TRACK.

OKAY, I MOVE TO APPROVE THE VARIANCE.

WHAT YOU MEAN BY COMMISSIONER CONLEY 9 81 SECOND BY COMMISSIONER HILL.

HARVEY TRAIL CURRENTLY HAS A 50 FOOT RIGHT OF WAY ON IT FOR THIS BACK ENTRANCE TO THESE LOTS.

BUT AFTER MEETING WITH THE DEVELOPER, HE SAID IF YOU WOULD LIKE THE 10 EXTRA FEET THAT HE'S HAPPY TO ABIDE BY THAT.
