Jan 13, 2025 Commissioners Court

WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.

ALL RIGHT.

WE'RE GONNA MOVE UP TO FIVE ITEM FIVE A ON THE DISCUSSION.

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

TAKE ACTION.

ONGOING REPORTING TO BOND PROJECTS COMMISSIONER COURT BY P NICHOLS.

CHRIS, I SAW YOU JUST CAME IN.

SO WELCOME.

CHECK, UH, CHRIS

[00:05:01]

BOSCO FREEZE THE NICHOLS.

UM, SO THIS IS THE, UH, MONTHLY REPORT FOR JANUARY.

MAYBE NOT.

HOW THERE, THERE YOU GO.

UM, SO SOME OF THE ACTIVITIES, I, I, I KEEP THE, THE TIP MOD ON HERE.

UH, I CHECKED IN WITH COG AND, UH, THEY SAID THAT'S CLOSE TO GETTING APPROVED, BUT JUST WANTED TO KIND OF KEEP THAT AT THE FOREFRONT.

UM, STILL HAVE AN ONGOING STAKEHOLDER COORDINATION.

WE HAD A MEETING IN DECEMBER WITH SOME RESIDENTS, UH, FOR THE SEVEN 30 EXTENSION.

UH, AND THEN BANKHEAD, WE A LOT OF COORDINATION THERE WITH THE CITY AND, UH, THE DEVELOPERS ALONG THAT, UH, ROUTE, UH, AS WE KIND OF DEVELOPED THE BANKHEAD PROJECT, UH, THE PARKER COUNTY CHAMBER WAS A PRESENTATION, UH, THAT, THAT WE GAVE LAST WEEK.

JUST KIND OF A, A GENERAL UPDATE SIMILAR TO WHAT WE GIVE HERE IN COURT, UH, TO THAT GROUP.

UM, THE C TIFF FUNDING, I THINK WE'RE IN GOOD SHAPE ON THAT.

UM, WE GOT, YOU KNOW, THE LAST TWO KIND OF PROJECTS IDENTIFIED TO FINISH THAT UP.

AND, UH, AS A REMINDER THAT THAT FUNDING, THE, THE END DATE FOR THAT IS ACTUALLY AT THE END OF JUNE, UH, T SO HAS ASKED THAT.

UH, IT GETS FINALIZED IN MARCH, JUST TO KIND OF HAVE A CUSHION THERE.

BUT, UH, WE'RE IN GOOD SHAPE ON THAT.

AND THEN I'LL, UH, ADD A LITTLE BIT MORE IN A MOMENT ON THE OAK RIDGE, BUT WE'RE PLANNING A, A PUBLIC MEETING ON THAT PROJECT.

UH, SO HERE'S KIND OF THE, UH, THE OVERALL UPDATE IN A MOMENT.

I'LL GO THROUGH EACH OF THE SCHEDULES, BUT, UH, THE MAIN PROJECTS WE'RE GETTING READY TO, UH, PUT OUT FOR ADVERTISING WOULD BE, UH, W I'LL KIND OF JUMP INTO THAT.

UH, W AND WOODY, UH, IN, UH, PRECINCT ONE, WE KIND OF THE FIRST, UH, PROJECT TO GET UNDER CONSTRUCTION THERE WITH MIDWAY AND THOMAS TO KIND OF CLOSELY FOLLOW THAT.

SO WHEN'S THAT GOING OUT? BID, UH, WE'RE, UH, WE'RE LOOKING TO SEND THAT TO KIM FOR THE END OF THIS WEEK, UH, SO THAT IT WILL ADVERTISE AND THERE'LL BE A THREE WEEK ADVERTISEMENT.

UH, SO YOU WOULD BE LOOKING AT, UH, CONSTRUCTION IN THE FIRST PART OF, OF FEBRUARY.

FIRST PART OF FEBRUARY.

AND SO WE WANT TO, UH, SHOW THAT TO THE PUBLIC AND KIND OF VISIT ABOUT THE TIMELINE AROUND THAT, UH, FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF OAK RIDGE.

UM, UM, IN, IN PRECINCT TWO, UM, THE JOHNSON, BEN AND GREEN ACRES IS, UH, WE'VE GOTTEN THE INFORMATION BACK FROM THE ASBESTOS SURVEY.

AND SO WE'RE ACTUALLY GONNA DO TWO BID PACKAGES CONCURRENTLY.

ONE FOR THE REMOVAL OF THE STRUCTURES, AND THEN ONE FOR THE ROAD CONTRACTOR.

UH, AND SO SAME THING, WE'RE LOOKING TO GET THAT OUT AT THE END OF THE WEEK, UH, TO GET THOSE TWO CONTRACTORS ON BOARD, UH, FOR JOHNSON BEND AND GREEN ACRES.

UH, AND THEN, AS I MENTIONED, UH, OAK RIDGE, WE HAVE A PUBLIC MEETING PLANNED ON THE 24TH.

UH, IN A MOMENT I'LL SHOW THAT ADVERTISEMENT, BUT WE'RE GONNA GET THAT OUT THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA FOR ANYONE THAT WANTS TO ATTEND THAT, UH, PUBLIC MEETING, UH, RELATED TO THE OAK RIDGE PROJECT.

AND THAT WILL BE KIND OF THE NEXT, UM, UH, PROJECT TO BID IN PRECINCT TWO.

AFTER WE GET JOHNSON BEND GREEN ACRES, HAVE THE PUBLIC MEETING, THEN WE'LL PUT, UH, OAK RIDGE OUT FOR BID, UH, AS WELL.

UH, PRECINCT THREE.

UM, SO, UH, RICK WILLIAMSON IS THE, THE FIRST, UH, I WOULD SAY LARGE PROJECT TO BID.

UH, WE'RE TARGETING AT THE END OF JANUARY.

UH, RIGHT NOW WE'VE HAD, UH, WE'RE JUST KIND OF WORKING WITH WEATHERFORD ON ANY FINAL COMMENTS, UM, UH, RELATED TO THE DESIGN OF THAT PROJECT.

AND AS YOU KNOW, WE DIDN'T NEED RIGHT AWAY ON THAT ONE.

SO, UH, IT'S REALLY READY TO GO FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE.

UH, THERE IS SOME TECH STOCK COORDINATION AT EACH OF THE INTERSECTIONS, UH, BUT WE HAVE THE, THE PLANS READY TO GO ON THAT PROJECT.

UM, I KIND OF TOUCHED ON THIS IN PRECINCT, UH, FOUR, OF COURSE, OLD WEATHERFORD'S UNDER CONSTRUCTION AT THE MOMENT.

AND, UH, THE BAIT HEAD IS PROBABLY WHERE WE HAVE THE MOST ACTIVITY RIGHT NOW.

UH, JUST MAKING SURE WITH SOME OF THE UTILITY LINES THAT WILLOW PARK'S DOING, WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO BID THOSE WITH THE ROAD PROJECT, UM, THE SEWER LINE THAT THEY'RE DOING.

AND SO WE'RE COORDINATING WITH THEIR ENGINEER ON THAT.

UH, WE'RE WORKING ON KELLY ROAD SOUTH AS WELL.

UH, THAT'S, UH, THE SOUTHERN THERE FROM BEAR CREEK TO, UH, 3 77 IS, UH, A KEY ONE AS WELL TO GET, UH, READY TO BID.

UH, AND THAT KIND OF TIES IN WITH A LOT OF, UH, DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY.

UH, THE MEETING ADVERTISEMENT FOR OAK RIDGE.

UH, THE MAIN GOAL OF THIS MEETING IS, UH, ONE TO KIND OF COMMUNICATE THE TIMELINE OF CONSTRUCTION, BUT, UH, THE NATURE OF THIS PROJECT, UH, WE'LL BE LOOKING AT A ONE-WAY TRAFFIC OPERATION.

[00:10:01]

UM, AND THAT, THAT WILL BE, UH, ON THE 24TH AT THE HUDSON OAKS CITY HALL.

AND, UH, CYNTHIA'S GONNA PUSH THIS OUT ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND THE CITY AS WELL.

UH, SO WITH THAT, I'LL OPEN UP TO ANY QUESTIONS AND THEN WE WILL, WE'LL PUT THIS REPORT ON THE WEBSITE.

ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU, CHRIS.

WE'RE GONNA MOVE DOWN TO ITEM SEVEN A ON THE DISCUSSION.

[7.A. Discuss/Take action on amending Parker County subdivision rules regarding Water Availability Requirements. (Doug Shaw / Commissioner Holt) ]

TAKE ACTION ON AMENDING PARKER COUNTY SUBDIVISION RULES REGARDING WATER BILLABILITY REQUIREMENTS.

WE HAVE DOUG SHAW OF THE UPPER TRINITY GROUNDWATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT.

UH, IF YOU WOULD COME ON UP, JUDGE.

COMMISSIONERS, COMMISSIONER SHAW.

YOU GUYS DOING ALL RIGHT.

HOPE Y'ALL STAYED, STAYED WARM LAST WEEK.

UH, ENJOYED THAT.

NICE LITTLE EXTRA COUPLE DAYS, RIGHT? .

UM, AND I APPRECIATE Y'ALL UP.

JUST LETTING YOU KNOW UP UPDATING Y'ALL IS KEEPING Y'ALL SOCIAL MEDIA UPDATED BECAUSE THAT'S, WE GENERALLY FOLLOW WHAT THE COUNTY DOES.

SO I'M MY STAFF'S ALL WATCHING ALL OF Y'ALL'S FACEBOOKS AND WHATEVER TO MAKE TO SEE ONE.

THANK Y'ALL CLOSE.

AND I'M GETTING TEXTS.

HEY, PARKER COUNTY JUST SAID THEY CLOSED.

NO WORK TOMORROW.

ALRIGHT GUYS, WHAT WE'RE HERE TO TALK ABOUT, UM, I'VE BEEN MEETING WITH COMMISSIONER HOLT AND YOU KNOW, I'M GONNA LET HIM KIND OF TELL ME WHAT HE WANTS ME TO, TO TALK TO YOU GUYS ABOUT.

BUT YOU GUYS, I'VE, I'M PRETTY SURE I'VE MENTIONED BEFORE, YOU KNOW, PARKER COUNTY IS IN A PIGMENT PRIORITY GROUNDWATER MANAGEMENT AREA.

AND UNDER THAT, UH, DESIGNATION, YOU'VE GOT ADDITIONAL AUTHORITY UNDER CHAPTER 35, YOU COULD ACTUALLY ADOPT YOUR OWN WATER REQUIREMENTS UNDER YOUR SUBDIVISION RULES.

UM, AND, AND COMMISSIONER HOLT AND I HAVE GONE BACK AND FORTH AND COME WITH SOME IDEAS TO KIND OF, THERE, THERE'S ISSUES, RIGHT? EVEN GOING ALL THE WAY BACK TO DISCUSSIONS WE WERE HAVING LAST, THIS TIME LAST YEAR ABOUT, YOU KNOW, IF IT'S ONE OR TWO LOTS, WHAT DO YOU NEED TO, TO WAVE THAT STUDY? RIGHT? SO I THINK IF, IF WE GO IN OR YOU GUYS GO IN AND WE'RE HAPPY TO HELP AS MUCH OR AS LITTLE AS Y'ALL WANT, UM, AND ADOPT ACTUAL WATER STUDY REQUIREMENTS, YOU CAN ADDRESS THAT, RIGHT? IT CAN BE SOMETHING THAT YOU ADDRESS AND EVERYBODY'S VERY CLEAR, HERE'S THE KIND OF THINGS THAT WE WOULD NEED TO, TO WAIVE THAT STUDY FOR THESE SMALL LITTLE SUBDIVISIONS.

UM, I THINK THAT THAT HELPS, RIGHT? I KNOW FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, WHEN SOMETHING'S IN WRITING AND IT'S THERE AND IT'S, IT'S SET, PEOPLE FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE WITH IT, RIGHT? THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE TO DO OR WHAT WE HAVE TO PROVIDE.

UM, ADDITIONALLY, I KNOW Y'ALL TALKED ABOUT, UH, YOU KNOW, FOR LARGER, FOR ANYTHING 20 LOTS OR MORE GOING TO PUBLIC WATER SUPPLY, UH, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THE KIND OF THINGS THAT WE CAN LOOK AT AND HELP THE COUNTY, UH, AND PROVIDE THE COUNTY WITH, YOU KNOW, WOULD THIS BE BETTER TO PUT IN A PUBLIC WATER SYSTEM OR IS THIS A BETTER SITUATION FOR A WELL AT EVERY LOT? RIGHT? UM, TALKED ABOUT THAT KIND OF STUFF AND, AND REALLY, I'VE, I'VE THREW OUT SOME OUTLINES WHEN, WHEN I MET WITH, UH, COMMISSIONER HOLT THE OTHER DAY ABOUT SOME, SOME KIND OF, SOME IDEAS WE HAD OF KIND OF STAGING IT IN, YOU KNOW, FOR THESE SMALL LOTS YOU COULD DO THESE LITTLE THINGS FOR ARE THESE SMALL, YOU KNOW, 10 LOTS OR LESS, OR IF IT GETS BIGGER THAN LIKE 10 TO 20, YOU DO THIS MORE THAN 20.

UM, SO I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS OR KIND OF TAKE SOME DIRECTION ON LIKE, YOU KNOW, HOW Y'ALL WANT TO GO THROUGH WORKING THROUGH THIS PROCESS WITH SOMETHING Y'ALL INTERESTED IN.

UM, LIKE I SAID, WE'RE HERE TO HELP ANY WAY WE CAN, YOU KNOW, THAT THAT'S, WE'RE JUST HERE AS A RESOURCE TO YOU GUYS AND COMMISSIONER HOLT.

DOUG, THANK YOU FOR COMING TODAY.

THE REASON THAT WE WANTED YOU HERE TODAY WAS SIMPLY, UM, TO GET SOME FEEDBACK FROM US.

I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE COURT MIGHT HAVE FOR YOU MM-HMM .

AS EVERYONE HERE IS AWARE, BUT AS A REMINDER AS WELL, ON THE 22ND WE'LL BE HAVING A SUBDIVISION REGULATION COMMITTEE MEETING.

THE MAIN FOCUS OF THAT MEETING WILL BE A PRESENTATION FROM THE UPPER TRINITY, RIGHT? THAT DISCUSSES POTENTIAL OPTIONS WE MIGHT LOOK AT REGARDING SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS AND ACREAGE.

RIGHT? WE FEEL VERY STRONGLY THAT A BLANKET RULE OF X ACRES PER LOT DOESN'T REALLY MAKE SENSE BECAUSE OF HOW DIVERSE OUR WATER SUPPLY IS IN THE COUNTY.

SO INSTEAD WE'D LIKE TO LOOK AT KIND OF A MATRIX OF OPTIONS.

MM-HMM .

BASED OFF OF THE SCIENCE AVAILABLE, BASED OFF OF THINGS LIKE COMMISSIONER WALDEN HAS SAID BEFORE ON WATER CONSERVATION, RAINWATER HARVESTING, THINGS LIKE THAT.

THAT'S GONNA BE THE MAIN FOCUS ON THE 22ND.

THE REASON THAT MR. SHAW'S HERE TODAY IS SO THAT WE CAN PROVIDE ANY FEEDBACK TO HIM AHEAD OF THAT TIME AND JUST TO KEEP THE CONVERSATION OPEN AND ONGOING.

I KNOW THAT THE COURT LIKES TO OBVIOUSLY STAY INVOLVED ON THESE THINGS GOING FORWARD.

SO THERE'S NOT A BIG FORMAL PRESENTATION TODAY.

THIS IS MORE SO THAT EVERYONE HERE CAN HAVE A VOICE.

LOOKING FORWARD TO THE 22ND, OBVIOUSLY NO DECISIONS WILL BE MADE ON THE 22ND THAT WILL COME BACK TO COURT AFTER THAT TIME.

RIGHT?

[00:15:01]

AND SOME OF THE THINGS THAT, UM, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT AND LIKE I'VE, I'VE VISITED MY STAFF AND, YOU KNOW, SOME CLEAR THINGS YOU CAN LOOK AT.

UM, COMMISSIONER CONLEY, YOU, YOU'VE PROBABLY EXPERIENCED THIS IN YOUR PREVIOUS CAREERS.

LIKE IF YOU GO OUT SOMEWHERE AND, AND, AND, AND YOU DRILL A WELL AND IT, AND YOU CAN'T GET THAT WELL TO MAKE MORE THAN A FEW GALLONS A MINUTE, YOU KNOW, CONSISTENTLY PROBABLY A GOOD SIGN THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU SHOULDN'T DRILL A HUNDRED WELLS ON 200 ACRES OUT THERE.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? SO JUST SIMPLE THINGS.

WE CAN LOOK AT SOME BENCHMARKS, SAID, HEY, IF IF YOU CAN'T, YOU KNOW, CONSISTENTLY MAKE FIVE GALLONS A MINUTE, THEN YOU MIGHT HAVE TO DO THIS.

UM, THERE'S ALL THESE KINDS OF METRICS THAT I THINK WE COULD LOOK AT AND ACTUALLY USE REAL WORLD TESTING.

UM, AND LIKE I SAID, ANY FEEDBACK Y'ALL HAVE, YOU KNOW, DIRECTION YOU GUYS HAVE, LIKE I SAID, WE JUST WANNA BE A RESOURCE.

UM, I THINK WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER.

UM, THE GOAL IS TO MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, THE COUNTY IS DEVELOPED IN SUCH A WAY THAT, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE STILL HAVE PLENTY OF WATER AND AREN'T CALLING YOU GUYS AND US AND COMPLAINING, YOU KNOW, ALL THE TIME.

'CAUSE HEY, I, I'M HAVING TO REPLACE MY WELL, WHICH, YOU KNOW, IS PRETTY, I'M SURE YOU GET THOSE CALLS 'CAUSE WE SEE A LOT OF 'EM IN, IN WHERE THEY WERE SHORT DRILLED AND NOW THEY, THOSE DRILL DEEPER WELLS.

UM, YOU KNOW, THINGS WE CAN COME BACK WITH MINIMUM RE RECOMMENDATIONS ON, HEY, YOU NEED TO DRILL AT LEAST TO THIS DEPTH.

RIGHT? MOST GOOD DRILLERS KNOW THAT, BUT YOU KNOW, THERE'S SOMETHING LIKE 40 SOMETHING DRILLERS THAT WE DEAL WITH IN THIS, IN THIS PART OF THE WORLD.

UH, SO ANY DIRECTION YOU GUYS HAVE, I MEAN, WE'RE HAPPY TO TAKE IT.

WE WANNA DO WHAT, WHAT'S BEST FOR THE COUNTY AND WHAT'S BEST FOR WHAT YOU GUYS THE DIRECTION Y'ALL WANT TO GO.

SO, UM, WITH THAT, I SAID I'M HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS.

HAS, HAS A STATE SAID ANYTHING ABOUT IN THE FUTURE TRYING TO REGULATE WHAT YOU CAN WATER AROUND YOUR HOUSE? YOU KNOW, WE MADE A RECOMMENDATION.

OUR, OUR OUR, AS PART OF THE REGIONAL WATER PLANNING PROCESS, OUR DISTRICT SENT A RESOLUTION OFF OF THE, ALL THE REGIONAL WATER PLANNING GROUPS WE SIT IN AND SAY, 'CAUSE THEY MAKE LEGISLATIVE RECOMMENDATIONS.

AND WE, WE SIMPLY SAID, HEY, WE NEED TO HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT LIKE OUTDOOR WATERING AT THE VERY LEAST IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SUMMER.

UM, YOU'D BE SURPRISED HOW MUCH THAT'S COMMON SENSE, RIGHT? LIKE, WHY WOULD YOU WATER AT TWO IN THE AFTERNOON WITH 103 DEGREES? BUT EVEN HAVING THAT CONVERSATION, IT, IT'S CRAZY HOW MUCH PUSHBACK YOU GET.

RIGHT? YOU KNOW, I WAS IN A MEETING LAST WEEK WITH A BUNCH OF WATER PEOPLE IN, YOU KNOW, IN THE METROPLEX AND THEY'RE LIKE, WAIT, WAIT A MINUTE, WAIT A MINUTE.

WE DON'T WANNA BE TELLING PEOPLE WHAT THEY CAN DO.

AND I GET THAT, THAT, THAT DISCUSSION.

BUT I MEAN, COME ON.

IT'S KIND OF COMMON SENSE.

I THINK THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE THAT ARE WANTING TO HAVE THAT CONVERSATION AND THEN THERE ARE OTHER GROUPS THAT HAVE A VERY LOUD VOICE IN AUSTIN THAT DON'T WANNA HAVE THAT CONVERSATION.

SO I I I DON'T EXPECT ANYTHING, COMMISSIONER.

I MEAN, I REALLY DON'T, NOT FOR A FEW MORE YEARS.

IT, IT'S, IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHERE SOMETHING TILL WE RUN OUT OF WATER.

TOTALLY.

RIGHT? IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT SOMETHING CATASTROPHICALLY BAD HAS TO HAPPEN BEFORE THEY ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING.

AND THAT'S, AND THAT'S UNFORTUNATE.

BECAUSE YEAH, I MEAN, AS, AS WE'VE TALKED ABOUT AND AS I'VE SAID IN PUBLIC MEETINGS BEFORE IS, YOU KNOW, IF WE WEREN'T TALKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, OUTSIDE WATER USE, WE REALLY WOULDN'T BE HAVING THIS CONVERSATION.

RIGHT? RIGHT.

BECAUSE THAT'S, MOST OF IT'S BEING USED OUTSIDE.

SO TO THAT POINT, WHAT ABOUT OUR, UH, ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT MM-HMM .

WHERE ARE WE AT ON THAT, THE STATUS? RIGHT.

AND I, I KNOW WE'VE TALKED ABOUT, UH, WITH THE TEXAS RUNS ON WATER MM-HMM .

UH, WE'VE BEEN IN CONVERSATION WITH THEM.

I KNOW COMMISSIONER HOLT'S OFFICE HAS BEEN IN CONVERSATION.

UH, THE GROUP THAT'S PUTTING THAT ON HAS GOTTEN SOME FUNDS FROM THE, FROM THE STATE.

UM, AND SO WE'RE KIND OF AT A HOLDING AREA TO, TO KIND OF SEE WHERE FUND, WHERE, WHAT THAT FUNDING IS GONNA ALLOW AND THEN WHAT ADDITIONAL FUNDING IS GONNA BE NEEDED LOCALLY TO MATCH.

UM, WE ARE ALL IN, I'VE GOT AUTHORIZATION AND MONEY SET ASIDE FROM OUR BOARD TO BASICALLY MATCH WHAT THE COUNTY PUTS IN MM-HMM .

UM, WE'RE, WE'RE REALLY INTERESTED IN IT BECAUSE IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT TAKES OFF AND CAN AND IS SUCCESSFUL HERE, WE WANT TO BASICALLY MIRROR THAT IN OUR OTHER COUNTIES.

CORRECT.

SO, TO GIVE SOME COLOR ON THAT, THE, THE CUTOFF THAT THE GROUP THAT TEXAS RUNS ON WATER WAS WORKING WITH WAS JANUARY 1ST FROM A FUNDING PERSPECTIVE, THEY NEEDED TO WAIT TILL THEN.

BUT I DO THINK THAT IT'S REASONABLE THAT WE CAN EXPECT WE WILL HAVE INFORMATION OUT TO THE PUBLIC BEFORE IT GETS RIGHT.

PRETTY HOT, RIGHT.

SUMMERTIME.

MR. SHAW, IS THAT STILL? I, I SURE HOPE SO.

I SURE, I SURE HOPE SO.

UM, 'CAUSE YEAH, THAT'S, I THINK IN TALKING WITH SOME OF THE OTHER, UH, AREAS, SO I'VE GOT GOOD FRIENDS IN BOTH CENTRAL TEXAS, UH, AND BURNETT COUNTY THAT THEY'VE DONE THIS AND UP IN THE AMARILLO WHERE THEY'VE DONE THIS.

AND, UH, BOTH OF THOSE TWO GROUNDWATER DISTRICTS, AFTER THEY'VE PUT IN, AFTER THIS ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN WENT IN, LIKE THE NUMBER OF CALLS THEY'VE GOT JUST WENT UP

[00:20:01]

DRAMATICALLY.

WHICH BASICALLY MEANS IT'S REACHING PEOPLE.

AND THAT'S THE GOAL, RIGHT? REACH PEOPLE, LET PUT IN PEOPLE'S AWARENESS, THEN THEY START TO ASK QUESTIONS AND DO SOME HOMEWORK AND REALIZE THAT, HEY, IT'S NOT JUST, YOU KNOW, SOME MAGIC THING.

YOU TURN ON THE FAUCET AND WATER APPEARS.

SOMEBODY HAS TO COME FROM SOMEWHERE.

I HAD A COUPLE QUESTIONS AND, AND, UH, IN THE PREVIOUS COURT SESSION, UHHUH, , UM, YOU KNOW, WE WERE TALKING MORE AND IT, AND IT GOES A LITTLE BIT DEEPER WITH WHAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT IN THE OUTDOOR WATER INC.

ONE OF THE QUESTIONS I HAD IS, DO Y'ALL HAVE ANY NUMBERS OR PROFORMAS ON ACTUAL AVERAGE USE PER HOUSEHOLD? WHEN, WHEN I HAVE NEIGHBORHOODS GOING IN WITH QUARTER ACRE LOTS, THEY'RE PUTTING FOUR HOMES TO AN ACRE.

VERSUS THE USE ON A SINGLE FAMILY ON A TWO ACRE LOT.

SO ON AND I, I MEAN, LIKE AVERAGE BECAUSE RIGHT.

YOU KNOW, IT'S, I KNOW THERE'S SOME SCIENCE THERE THAT YOU GUYS HAVE TO BE USING TO BACK UP THIS DATA.

AND THAT'S WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR.

I'VE GOT A COUPLE OF BULLET POINTS I WANTED TO ASK THEM.

AND SO, SO WITH THAT, THE, THE HARD PART IS, SO THE FOLKS WITH, YOU KNOW, QUARTER ACRE LOTS OR ONE ACRE LOTS, WE KNOW, WE KNOW HOW MUCH WATER THEY USE, RIGHT? BECAUSE THEY'RE ON A PUBLIC WATER SYSTEM.

IF IT'S GROUNDWATER BASED AND THEY REPORT THAT TO US, OR IF IT'S, EVEN IF IT'S, IF IT'S, YOU KNOW, IN YOUR DISTRICT AND THEY'RE GETTING WATER FROM, FROM FORT WORTH MM-HMM .

THEY STILL HAVE TO REPORT THAT TO THE STATE.

SO WE KNOW HOW MUCH WATER IS BEING USED PER HOUSE, RIGHT? MM-HMM .

UM, REAL QUICK, CAN I ASK, IS THAT THE SAME ON THE MUD DISTRICT? YES.

THE MUDS THEY HAVE.

SO YOU'LL KNOW HOW MUCH WATER'S BEING USED THERE, CORRECT? CORRECT.

IF IT'S, IF IT'S A MUD DISTRICT, ANY IF IT'S PUBLIC WATER SYSTEM, RIGHT? THERE'S PIPES IN THE GROUND MM-HMM .

THEY HAVE TO REPORT THAT USE TO SOMEBODY.

UM, IF IT'S GROUNDWATER BASED, THEY HAVE TO REPORT IT TO US.

AND THAT'S, THAT'S THE MOST ACCURATE BECAUSE IT'S BASED ON THE METERS AT THEIR WELLHEADS.

SO IN THE MUD DISTRICTS MM-HMM .

I'M SORRY, I DON'T WANNA GET TOO FAR TRACK.

TRACK THERE.

NO, GO AHEAD.

WITH THE COMMERCIAL WELLS THAT ARE GOING IN THE GROUND, UHHUH, , ARE THOSE APPROVED DOWN IN AUSTIN? NO, BY US.

BY YOU, BY THE THE, THEY HAVE TO GET TCEQ APPROVAL FOR QUALITY.

CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS, BUT THAT'S IT.

UH, ACTUAL DRILLING THE WELL AT A LO CERTAIN LOCATION AND WE ACTUALLY PERMIT THOSE.

AND SO TELL THEM YOU CAN ONLY PUMP THIS MUCH WATER ON AN ANNUAL BASIS.

THAT'S THROUGH US.

CORRECT.

AND THEY HAVE TO MEET ALL OUR SPACING REQUIREMENTS.

UM, IF THEY DON'T, THEY HAVE TO ASK FOR AN EXCEPTION.

IT'S GOTTA GO TO A PUBLIC HEARING, STUFF LIKE THAT.

THAT PUBLIC HEARING'S WITH YOU ALL? YES, SIR.

YES SIR.

'CAUSE THERE'S A, THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND.

'CAUSE THEY'RE GETTING STACKED IN THERE ON THESE DEALS.

AND I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND, I UNDERSTAND WHEN SOMEBODY'S PAYING A WATER BILL RIGHT.

AND IT'S GOING UP EXPONENTIALLY RIGHT.

ONCE THEY PASS A THRESHOLD.

YOU KNOW, THAT KIND OF ENCOURAGES CONSERVATION RIGHT.

WITH WATER, I UNDERSTAND THAT.

BUT I'M KIND OF, I'M, I'M REALLY INTERESTED TO KNOW WHAT KIND OF DATA YOU HAVE THAT SHOWS THE DIFFERENCE IN WATER USAGE ON JAMMING FOUR HOUSEHOLDS, SINGLE FAMILY IN AN ACRE, RIGHT.

VERSUS A TWO ACRE RIGHT.

FOR PEOPLE WATERING THEIR YARD AROUND THEIR HOUSE.

GENERALLY.

ON AVERAGE.

SO TYPICALLY WHAT WE SEE, AND WE DON'T HAVE AS MUCH WITH THE FOUR ACRE, THE FOUR HOUSES ON ONE BECAUSE MOST OF THOSE ARE GETTING WATER FROM FORT WORTH.

BECAUSE THEY'RE ON, LIKE, YOU KNOW, GENERALLY WHAT WE SEE ARE THE ONE ACRE LOTS.

THAT, AND I'M JUST STATING FACTS, RIGHT? MM-HMM .

UM, TYPICAL ON THE HIGH END, YOU'RE LOOKING AT, UH, 500 GALLONS PER, PER HOUSE PER DAY.

UM, AND I WOULD SAY THOSE ARE THE HIGH ENDS THAT ARE WATERING THEIR LAWNS.

LIKE THE, THE NICER ONE ACRE LOT SUBDIVISIONS, UM, ON THE TWO ACRE LOTS WITH THE PRIVATE.

WELL OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, THERE'S NO METER.

SO WE DON'T KNOW FOR SURE.

WE DO KNOW WE HAVE SOME PEOPLE THAT, THAT ARE FRIENDLY WITH US, THAT ARE FRIENDS WITH SOME OF MY STAFF THAT ARE IN THAT SITUATION.

AND, AND SOME OF THEM WATER BASICALLY TYPICALLY LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE DOES NUMBER THAT THEY WERE, THEY, THEY TOLD US THIS IS HOW, HOW OFTEN WE WATER THIS IS HOW LONG THEY RUN.

AND THAT NUMBER IS SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER 'CAUSE THEY DON'T PAY A BILL.

RIGHT? YEP.

THEY DON'T PAY A WATER BILL.

UH, ONE OF 'EM, THEY USED A MILLION GALLONS OF WATER IN A YEAR ON A PRI FROM A PRIVATE, WELL, YOU KNOW, ON A FOUR, YOU KNOW, THAT'S YOU EVEN WITH 4, 4, 4 HOMES ON ONE ACRE.

SO EIGHT HOMES ON TWO ACRES, YOU'RE NOT GONNA USE A MILLION GALLONS.

VERY UNLIKELY.

RIGHT THERE.

JUST 'CAUSE THERE'S NOT ENOUGH SPACE TO WATER, RIGHT? MM-HMM .

IT'S MOST OF THAT WATER'S INSIDE AND THEY'LL HAVE LIKE A SMALL LITTLE POCKET YARD THAT THEY'LL WATER MM-HMM .

UM, AGAIN, IT GOES BACK TO THE WHOLE OUTSIDE WATER USE BEING, BEING THE ISSUE.

NO, I UNDERSTAND THAT.

AND, AND VERY RARE.

AND THAT'S, AND, AND THAT COGNIZANT OF IT AND THAT, THAT'S ALWAYS BEEN THE THING IS LIKE, YOU KNOW, YOU EVEN GO BACK TO, YOU KNOW, EARLY IN MY CAREER WHEN I WAS JUST AN ECONOMIST AT THE WATER DEVELOPMENT BOARD AND LOOKING AT, UH, STUDIES AROUND THE COUNTRY LOOKING AT CONSERVATION.

AND I MEAN, IT'S JUST ONE OF THOSE THINGS

[00:25:01]

WHAT THEY FOUND, THE ONLY THING THAT, THAT, THAT TRULY WORKED AND WORKED CONSISTENTLY IS WHEN PEOPLE HAD TO PAY MORE, PAY MORE FOR THEIR WATER.

AND IT'S UNFORTUNATE, BUT YOU KNOW, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU GOT HOAS COMING IN THAT ARE SAYING, YOU KNOW, YOU'VE GOTTA KEEP THIS MUCH GREEN SPACE, IT JUST MAKES EVERYTHING SO MUCH MORE DIFFICULT.

YEP.

BUT ULTIMATELY, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THOSE FOUR LOT FOUR, UH, FOUR HOMES ON EVERY ACRE, IT, IT GETS CLOSER BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY HOMES MM-HMM .

UM, OF COURSE, LIKE I SAID, WE'RE SEEING THAT IN YOUR, IN YOUR PRECINCT CLEARLY.

BECAUSE OVER THERE OFF KELLY ROAD THEY'RE PUTTING IN, THOSE ARE GONNA GO INTO MUD.

I MEAN, AND THOSE FOLKS ARE PROBABLY GONNA USE A LOT OF WATER WITH THAT GOLF COURSE GOING INTO.

AND IT, THAT'S WHY I'M ASKINGS THESE QUESTIONS THAT, THAT THAT SITUATION, I'M GONNA BE HONEST THAT THAT SITUATION CONCERNS ME.

EVEN THOUGH WE CAN LIMIT WHAT THEY CAN PRODUCE BY PERMITTING, YOU KNOW, THERE'S STILL SO MUCH ACREAGE THEY CAN PUMP A LOT OF WATER IN AN AREA WHERE HISTORICALLY NOT A LOT OF WATER HAS BEEN PUMPED.

SO, YOU KNOW, FROM A SCIENTIFIC STANDPOINT, IT'S GONNA BE INTERESTING TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

BUT FROM LIKE A CONSERVATIONIST STANDPOINT, IT'S, IT'S, IT'S NOT GONNA BE INTERESTING.

IT'S 'CAUSE WE KNOW RIGHT.

YOU'RE GONNA HAVE SOME IMPACT.

UM, WELL, WHEN WE WERE, FOR ME VISITING WITH OTHER COUNTY COMMISSIONERS MM-HMM .

AND JUDGES AFTER, UH, THE STATE PASSED THAT SENATE BILL MM-HMM .

WHERE THESE DEVELOPERS COULD OPT OUT OF THE ET JS AND RIGHT.

CREATE THESE MUD DISTRICTS RIGHT'S, A BIG CONCERN.

I DIDN'T KNOW IF MAYBE YOU'D BEEN HEARING TALK FROM AUSTIN SIMILAR TO WHAT COMMISSIONER CONNOLLY WAS SAYING AS FAR AS OPINION OR HOW THE STATE'S POTENTIALLY GONNA DEAL WITH THIS.

BECAUSE WE JUST HEARD YOUR COMMENT ON THAT MUD DISTRICT IN PARTICULAR, AND I WOULD IMAGINE WE HAVE SOME MORE OF THOSE COMING IN THE FUTURE.

AND, UM, YOU KNOW, THE HOAS, YOU'D MENTIONED THOSE, BUT LEGALLY OKAY.

IF, IF WE'RE ABLE TO, THEY SAY, OKAY, WE PUT IN ZERO ESCAPE TYPE LANDSCAPING AND WE DO CERTAIN STEPS, UH, TO TRY TO HELP CONSERVE.

YES, SIR.

WELL, WHAT'S TO KEEP 'EM FROM VOTING IT OUT.

YOU KNOW, WHERE WHERE DO YOU GET THESE TO STICK, RIGHT.

AND GET FOLKS TO RIGHT.

YOU KNOW, TO GET ON BOARD.

YOU'RE EXACTLY RIGHT.

AND SOME OF THE ISSUES, AND, AND AGAIN, IT'S NOT SOMETHING I'M FROM, I'M TERRIBLY FAMILIAR WITH AROUND HERE.

SO YOU, WE WE'RE NOT THE ONLY ONES TALKING ABOUT MUD DISTRICTS, RIGHT? MM-HMM .

I MEAN, I, I GO DOWN AND THE NEXT WEEK I'LL, OR ACTUALLY LATER THIS WEEK I'LL BE IN AUSTIN WITH, AT A CONFERENCE WITH OTHER GROUNDWATER DISTRICTS AND IT'S ALWAYS COMES UP IN CONVERSATION TALKING ABOUT MUD DISTRICTS.

AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I'VE SEEN, OR I'VE HEARD THAT HAS FRUSTRATED A LOT OF MY COUNTERPARTS AROUND THE STATE AND A LOT OF COMMISSIONERS AROUND THE STATE THAT THEY WORK WITH, UM, YOU KNOW, GENERALLY SPEAKING, THESE MUD, THESE MUD DISTRICTS, YOU KNOW, WHEN THEY, AND AGAIN, I'M NOT SAYING ANYTHING HERE, I HADN'T HEARD THIS, NOBODY COMPLAINTS HERE.

JUST WHAT I'VE HEARD IS GENERALLY WHEN ONCE ALL THE LOTS ARE SOLD, THE MUD DISTRICTS, THE, THE WHOEVER'S RUNNING THE HOA, WHICH IS USUALLY A DEVELOPER, YOU KNOW, TURNS IT OVER AND THEY ELECT AN HOA BOARD.

UH, I HAVE TALKING TO SOMEBODY THE OTHER DAY, THEY WERE SAYING THERE'S, THERE WAS A MUD DOWN WHERE THEY ARE THAT'S, THEY PURPOSEFULLY DIDN'T SELL SEVERAL LOTS SO THAT THEY CAN MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE HOA THROUGH THE DEVELOPER.

AND THEN THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE THERE NEVER REALLY GOT TO, YOU KNOW, ELECT THEIR, THEIR HOA BOARD.

THAT'S WHAT I'VE HEARD AS WELL.

AND IT'S THAT, THAT'S, THAT'S FRUSTRATING, RIGHT? BECAUSE THEN YOU NEVER HAVE THE, THE PEOPLE THAT ACTUALLY LIVE THERE NEVER GET TO HAVE THE VOICE.

EVEN IF THEY WANT TO ADOPT REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE MORE CONSERVATION MINDED RIGHT.

AND, AND WATER CONSERVATION MINDED, THEN, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE NOT REALLY ABLE TO DO THAT.

SO, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW.

I HAVE SEEN AN INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF MUDS COMING IN.

IT'S NOT JUST HERE, THERE ARE SOME COUNTIES SOUTH OF HERE THAT WE'VE GOT MOST OF THE COUNTIES CHEWED UP BY MUDS.

UM, I I, I, I DON'T KNOW.

I I DON'T HAVE ANY GOOD NEWS FOR YOU ON THAT.

I, I, IT'S JUST I HAVEN'T HEARD ANY TALKING ABOUT ACTUAL, ANY LEGISLATION RELATED TO MUDS.

ONE OTHER QUESTION I HAD, AND I DON'T WANT TO TAKE UP EVERYBODY'S TIME HERE, I DON'T WANT TO BE SURE OTHER FOLKS HAVE TIME TO ASK, BUT ONE OF THE DISCUSSIONS THAT COMMISSIONER HALTED BROUGHT WAS RUNNING THE STUDIES BASED OFF A 30 YEAR STUDY FOR WATER AVAILABILITY.

CAN YOU SHED SOME LIGHT ON HOW THAT'S DONE? RIGHT.

SO THOSE, ALL THAT'S DONE WITH MODELING, RIGHT? YOU KNOW, YOU USE THE BEST AVAILABLE SCIENCE, WHICH IS REAL WORLD DATA PUMPING DATA.

YOU TAKE THAT AND, AND THERE'S ALL THESE FORMULAS AND, AND MODELS THAT YOU CAN USE THAT SAY, IF WE KNOW THIS ABOUT THE AQUIFER, THEN YOU CAN PROJECT THIS INTO THE FUTURE.

UM, SO WHAT WE GENERALLY DO FOR OUR ANALYSIS FOR INTERNALLY, YOU KNOW, SOMEBODY COMES TO US FOR A PERMIT.

YOU KNOW, WE LOOK AT THROUGH THE STATE, WE HAVE A 50 YEAR PLANNING WINDOW.

FOR YEARS AND YEARS, RIGHT? I THINK THAT'S PROBABLY WHERE THE 30 YEAR CAME FROM.

THAT WE HAVE TO LOOK 50 YEARS OUT.

GENERALLY WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT DEVELOPMENT, THEY SAY AT 30 YEARS.

'CAUSE I THINK THAT WAS TIED BACK TO A 30 YEAR MORTGAGE

[00:30:01]

'CAUSE IN THE WATER WORLD, ALL OF OUR PLANNING IS 50 YEARS.

UM, SO WHAT WE DO IS, IS WE'LL LOOK AT, SO LET'S SAY THIS, THIS, THIS TOP OF THIS PODIUM HERE IS ATTRACTIVE LAND THAT'S GONNA BE DEVELOPED.

WHAT WE'LL DO IS, IS ONCE YOU GET THE AQUIFER TEST DATA AND YOU KNOW HOW THE WATER FLOWS THROUGH THE SANDS, RIGHT? AND HOW MUCH WATER'S IN THE SANDS, HOW IT MOVES UP AND DOWN, HOW IT MOVES SIDE TO SIDE, THEN YOU CAN TAKE THOSE NUMBERS AND PROJECT OUT.

OKAY? IF YOU'RE GONNA HAVE SO MANY LIKE 50 WELLS OUT HERE PUMPING AND YOU ESTIMATE THEY'RE GONNA BE PUMPING THIS MUCH EACH YEAR, WELL THEN WE EXPECT AT EACH BOUNDARY, WE EXPECT THIS MUCH IMPACT AT THE END OF THE 30 YEARS.

RIGHT? AND YOU CAN COME BACK AND SAY, WELL, IF IT'S A PUBLIC WATER SYSTEM AND THERE'S JUST TWO WELLS OR FOUR WELLS AND THEY'RE SPACED OUT HERE AND THEY PUMP THIS MUCH WATER, HOW WOULD THAT IMPACT THE BOUNDARY OF THE PROPERTY AT THE END OF 30 YEARS? THAT'S WHAT WE LOOK AT.

UM, 'CAUSE THE, THE POINT IS, IS AT LEAST INTERNALLY AND HOW WE LOOK AT IT IS WHAT IF YOU GO TO DEVELOP A PIECE OF PROPERTY, WHAT IMPACT ARE YOU GONNA HAVE AT THE BOUNDARY OF THAT, AT THE END OF THIS PLANNING HORIZON, RIGHT.

30 YEARS IN THIS CASE.

UM, YOU KNOW, I'LL SAY MODEL ONE THING ABOUT MODELING IS, YOU KNOW, IT'S THE BEST INTERPRETATION OF REAL WORLD, BUT IT IS RIGHT MODEL.

THEY HAVE TO MAKE SOME ASSUMPTIONS.

GENERALLY THEY'RE PRETTY CLOSE WHAT I'VE SEEN.

BUT YOU KNOW, THERE'S ALWAYS DIFFERENCES, RIGHT? AND YOU'RE ALSO MODELING HUMAN BEHAVIOR, RIGHT? YOU'RE GUESSING, YOU'RE SAYING, WELL, AND THAT'S WHY WE USUALLY RUN THREE SCENARIOS LIKE LOW WATER USE AVERAGE, AND THEN IF EVERYBODY JUST GOES ABSOLUTELY CRAZY YEAH.

AND JUST WATERS ALL DAY EVERY DAY, WHAT WOULD IT LOOK LIKE? BECAUSE YOU DON'T REALLY KNOW, EVEN WITHIN A SUBDIVISION, YOU MIGHT HAVE PEOPLE OVER HERE THAT, YOU KNOW, IF THEY DON'T HAVE REQUIREMENTS, LET THEIR YARD GO BROWN.

AND YOU HAVE PEOPLE OVER HERE THAT WATER ALL DAY, LIKE SERIOUSLY EVERY DAY.

YEP.

AND SO YOU DON'T REALLY KNOW HOW PEOPLE ARE GOING TO ACT.

RIGHT? SO THAT'S, THAT'S THE BIGGEST ISSUE WITH THE PROJECTIONS, RIGHT? IF YOU KNEW EXACTLY HOW MUCH WATER THEY WERE GONNA USE, THOSE MODELS ARE PRETTY ACCURATE.

BUT THAT, THAT, THAT HUMAN BEHAVIOR IS, IS IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO MODEL THAT AND TO, OKAY.

SO, BUT THAT, THAT'S AT LEAST THE, THE MECHANICS OF HOW, HOW WE GO INTO IT.

AND I'M HAPPY TO, I MEAN, YOU CAN GIMME A CALL ANYTIME.

I CAN COME DOWN AND SIT DOWN AND WE CAN GO INTO DETAIL OVER THIS STUFF IF YOU'D LIKE.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU.

AND IF Y'ALL HAVE ANYTHING AT ALL, PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO GIMME A CALL.

AND DO WE HAVE A SECOND? SECOND.

SECOND IS MADE BY COMMISSIONER CONY.

IS THERE ANOTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM HALL IN PAPER? I, I, I'M SCARED TO TOUCH I CURIOUS.

[7.B. Discuss/Approve Parker County Emergency Management submitting application for Texas General Land Office grant. (Jason Lane / Judge Deen) ]

PARKER COUNTY EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT SUBMITTING APPLICATION FOR TAR GENERAL LAND OFFICE.

JASON, YOU WANNA COME UP? SURE.

UH, JASON LANE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT, UM, THE PARKER

[00:35:01]

COUNTY AND ALL THE COUNTIES ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE A HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN.

AND THAT PLAN, UH, STUDIES NATURAL HAZARDS, UM, PREVIOUS OCCURRENCES, UM, HOW LIKELY WE ARE TO HAVE THOSE.

AND THEN WHAT CAN WE DO TO PREVENT OR MITIGATE, UM, NATURAL HAZARDS SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE DISASTERS.

UM, THE, THAT PLAN, IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THAT PLAN, FEMA IN THE EVENT WE DO HAVE A DISASTER, CAN, UM, NOT PROVIDE DISASTER ASSISTANCE TO US.

SO THEY'VE NEVER DONE THAT, BUT I DON'T WANNA BE THE FIRST ONE THAT THEY TRY TO DO THAT TO.

SO THAT'S THE REASON FOR THE HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN.

THIS PLAN EXPIRES IN MAY OF 2026 AND, UH, UH, MAY OF 2025, I'M SORRY, OR MAY OF 26.

UM, SO, UH, THERE IS A GRANT, UH, FROM THE TEXAS GENERAL LAND OFFICE, UM, TO, UH, TO BASICALLY WRITE THIS, THESE THINGS ARE, UM, PROBABLY IN THE TWO TO 300 PAGE.

UM, SO, SO THEY'RE PRETTY BIG AND THEY TAKE A WHILE TO DO SO.

UM, THIS IS JUST A, A GRANT FROM THE GENERAL LAND OFFICE TO, UH, UH, TO WRITE THIS HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN.

THE OTHER BENEFIT FOR THE HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN IS, UM, IT INCLUDES ALL, IT WILL INCLUDE ALL OF THE CITIES IN PARKER COUNTY AND, UM, IT WOULD, UH, HAVING THIS APPROVED WILL MAKE ALL OF THOSE CITIES AS WELL AS PARKER COUNTY ELIGIBLE FOR HAZARD MITIGATION GRANTS.

SO THOSE GRANTS COULD INCLUDE, UM, UH, SAFE ROOMS FOR TORNADOES FOR RESIDENTS.

UM, IT COULD INCLUDE COVERED PARKING FOR EQUIPMENT OR VEHICLES, UM, TO MITIGATE HAIL DAMAGE, UM, THOSE SORTS OF THINGS.

UH, UM, EVEN, UH, POTENTIALLY DO SOME, SOME STUDIES FOR, FOR, FOR DROUGHT.

UM, INUNDATION MAPS.

FOR DAM FAILURES, THERE'S A LOT OF OPPORTUNITIES THERE ON THE HAZARD MITIGATION SIDE.

UM, THERE'S NO MATCH ASSOCIATED WITH THIS.

UM, SO, UH, IF SELECTED, UM, WE'RE NOT GONNA HAVE TO MATCH ANY OF THE FUNDS, UH, TO DO THIS.

UM, THE GENERAL LAND OFFICE HAS ABOUT SIX AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS LEFT IN THIS FUND FOR THIS.

AND THEY'RE, UH, A LITTLE CONCERNED THEY MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SPEND IT ALL.

SO I'M PRETTY OPTIMISTIC THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO GET THE FUNDING TO DO THIS PLAN.

WELL, THAT GOT A MOTION.

UH, THE MOTION IS MADE BY COMMISSIONER CONLEY WITH A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER HALE AND THERE'S NO MATCH.

CORRECT.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM AND WHAT'S THE AMOUNT? A HUNDRED THOUSAND.

HAD ANOTHER QUESTION.

UH, IT SEEMS LIKE THERE ALWAYS COMES OBLIGATIONS WHEN YOU ACCEPT MONEY FROM MY STREAM.

SURE.

DO YOU KNOW OF ANY FEDERAL OR ANY MANDATES I'M ACCEPTING THIS MONEY THAT MIGHT NEGATIVELY AFFECT US? N NO SIR.

THIS IS JUST A PLAN.

THIS IS JUST A GRANT TO HELP US WRITE A, WRITE A PLAN.

UM, UH, I'VE DONE THIS, UM, AT LEAST THREE OTHER TIMES AND THERE'S BEEN NO STRINGS ATTACHED FOR THIS.

NOW THIS IS A DIFFERENT GRANT THAN THE ONE I'VE DONE BEFORE, BUT LOOKING THROUGH ALL OF THE DOCUMENTATION, IT'S, HERE'S SOME MONEY, GO GET THIS PLAN WRITTEN, AND THAT'S ALL WE'RE HELD TO.

US TO, TO VIEW THE T STOCK CAMERAS.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR CARRIES FIVE.

OH, OKAY.

WE'LL MOVE DOWN TO ITEM SEVEN AISLE ON THE APPROVE THE TRAFFIC VIDEO AGREEMENT WITH TEXTILE FOR EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AND TAKE ANY ACTION IN THE COURT NAMES NECESSARY.

ANY JOHN? AND, UH, THIS CON CONTRACT WAS PRESENTED TO US.

I WAS GONNA LET JASON EXPLAIN A LITTLE BIT MORE.

IT LOOKS LIKE OUR OBLIGATION MAY BE JUST FOR HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE, BUT THEY WOULD PROVIDE THE PROGRAM IF WE PROVIDED THOSE.

SO, SO, UM, TXDOT, UM, THROUGH THIS AGREEMENT WILL GIVE US ACCESS TO VIEW THEIR CAMERAS ON STATE ROADWAYS.

THAT'S I 29, 21 99, UH, 3 7 7.

I THINK THERE'S SIX IN PARKER COUNTY.

UM, SO THIS IS JUST AN AGREEMENT YOU HAVE TO HAVE, WE HAVE TO SIGN IN ORDER TO GET ACCESS TO THAT.

AND THE REASON THAT I'D LIKE TO HAVE ACCESS TO THAT IS, AS YOU WELL KNOW, WE HAD AN ICE STORM.

UM, AND, UH, BEING ABLE TO SEE THOSE ROADWAYS WILL HELP WITH SITUATIONAL AWARENESS WHERE WE'RE HAVING ISSUES ALONG THOSE ROADWAYS, WHAT THEIR STATUS IS AND THAT SORT OF THING ON THE STATE ROADWAYS, WHICH IS JUST AN INDICATOR FOR WHAT'S HAPPENING ON THE COUNTY ROADWAYS.

SO, UM, THIS WILL ALLOW

[00:40:01]

IS, IS ALL WE'RE, IS ALL I'M TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH HERE.

MOTION IS MADE BACK.

COMMISSIONER, HOLD A SECOND.

BY COMMISSIONER CONLEY.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION BEFORE WE VOTE? HOLD THE FAVOR.

I I HAVE A QUESTION.

I'M SORRY.

WHO'S GONNA HAVE ACCESS? JUST, JUST YOU OR LAW ENFORCEMENT.

SO ANYBODY, MY UNDERSTANDING IS ANYBODY WITH ANYBODY FROM PARKER COUNTY THAT WE WANT TO GIVE ACCESS TO, AND MY ASSUMPTION IS GONNA BE LAW ENFORCEMENT, PUBLIC SAFETY, YOU KNOW, THE DISPATCH MYSELF.

UM, UH, AND I WOULD THINK THAT THERE MAY BE A NEED FOR, UH, SO THE COMMISSIONERS OR THE PRECINCT STAFF WOULD PROBABLY LIKE TO KNOW YES.

ON, ON THOSE ROADS.

SO, SO ABSOLUTELY.

UM, ONCE WE GET THE AGREEMENT IN PLACE, UH, MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT WE CAN, UH, WE CAN HAVE WHOEVER WE NEED.

VERY GOOD.

BUT IT WOULD NOT BE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC OR JUST EVERYBODY, JUST A FEW.

WE'LL TRY TO MINIMIZE THAT IF WE COULD.

AND JASON, DID THEY SAY WHAT TYPE OF HARDWARE THAT WE MIGHT, MIGHT BE NECESSARY? UM, NO THEY DIDN'T.

UM, BUT I'VE TALKED TO, UH, WEATHERFORD HAS THIS AND IT'S, IT'S PRETTY IN NEGLIGIBLE ON OUR END.

AND IF, IF THERE IS A HARDWARE REQUIREMENT, I'D HAVE TO FIND, UH, SOME MONEY IN, IN MY BUDGET TO, TO COVER THAT.

I ASSUMPTION'S.

JUST A COMPUTER.

THAT'S MY ASSUMPTION TOO.

MY WHAT, WHAT THEY EXPLAIN TO ME IS IT'S AN ONLINE PASSWORD PROTECTED THING THAT WE LOG INTO.

SO IT OUGHT TO BE FAIRLY STRAIGHTFORWARD.

ITEM TWO ON GUN SAFE OR SURPLUS AUCTIONS.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR.

MOTION CARRIES FIVE.

OH, WE'RE GONNA MOVE BACK TO ITEM D ONE ON THE INTERDEPARTMENTAL TRANSFERS OR EQUIPMENT INVENTORY REPORTS, GIVEN THAT, OKAY, WE'LL MOVE TO

AND, UM, AND REQUESTING AUTHORIZATION IF, IF YOU APPROVE THIS TO MOVE FUNDS FROM DEPARTMENT FOUR OH NINE'S PROGRAM CONTINGENCY IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $2,500.

UH, WE TEND TO GET, UM, WELL IN THE PAST AUCTION THAT WE JUST DID FOR FIREARMS AND WE HAD QUITE A FEW FIREARMS AND WE HAD TO LEAVE THEM ALL OVER AT THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE A PLACE TO STORE 'EM AND THEY HAVE THE ARMORY OVER THERE.

HOWEVER, IF WE CAN MOVE THEM INTO A GUN SAFE AT OUR LOCATION, UM, THAT KEEPS THEM FROM BEING, UM, ACCIDENTALLY PUT INTO SERVICE, UM, AND ASSIGNED TO LAW ENFORCEMENT OR, OR IF WE HAVE AUCTIONS FROM SEIZED ITEMS THAT, THAT, UM, HAVE VALUABLE COINS OR OTHER ITEMS IN IT, WE, WE NEED TO HAVE THOSE SECURED.

SO THAT'S THE REASON FOR THIS ITEM.

FURTHER DISCUSSION, I'D JUST LIKE TO ADD IT'D BE VERY BENEFICIAL IF THAT WAS ANCHORED TO THE FOUNDATION.

YOU ALSO HAD REQUESTED THEM TO ADD SOME DOORS FOR THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE, UM, ING SPACE.

AND THEN WE REMOVED, UM, BUILDING GROUNDS.

IT HAS A, A SURPLUS AMOUNT OF CARPET THAT THEY WILL UTILIZE OVER THERE.

AND SO THIS CHANGE ORDER IS FOR THOSE, UM, REQUESTS AND REMOVING THE CARPET AND THEN ADDING NEW WALLS IN FOUR, I'M SORRY, THREE ROOMS AS WELL AS DOOR FRAMES WOULD BE A TOTAL ADDITIONAL COST OF $13,855.

AND, UM, BRIANNA'S LOOKING AT THE ADDITIONAL FUNDS THAT WERE LEFT OVER FROM THE TAX NOTE OR WELL, IT, THERE POSSIBLY COULD BE, I WOULD SAY AUTHORIZED THE EXPENSE FROM PROGRAM CONTINGENCIES AND RIGHT BEFORE COURT, KIM AND I WERE TALKING ABOUT, UM, ONCE THE PATROL BUILDING IS COMPLETED, AND IF IT DOES NOT COST AS MUCH AS WHAT WE HAVE LEFT OVER FOR THE TAX NOTE, THEN WE COULD USE IT FROM THAT.

BUT IF NOT, IT WOULD NEED TO COME FROM PROGRAM CONTINGENCY.

SO I WOULD SAY AUTHORIZE IT FROM PROGRAM CONTINGENCIES, THEN AT THE END OF THE YEAR IF THERE IS ADDITIONAL FUNDS WE CAN DO JOURNAL ENTRIES TO MOVE THOSE EXPENSES.

OKAY, THANK YOU.

SO MOVE MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER CONLEY.

HOW IS THAT AMOUNT ASSIGNED AND WHERE DOES THAT GO? WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO GET YOU MORE INFORMATION ON THAT SPECIFICALLY COMMISSIONER OUT BECAUSE I'D VOTE FOR A WHILE TO GO TO PRECINCT TWO.

OKAY, DONE.

YEAH, SURE.

WE WILL GET YOU BACK WITH YOU ON THAT.

THERE WAS A BASICALLY A BREAKDOWN OF WHAT YOU CAN GET.

SO I DON'T KNOW IF IT WOULD BE SPLIT OR HOW IT'D BE, AND I DON'T KNOW HOW IT KIND OF WORKS OUT, BUT THERE WAS LIKE A SE FORMULA ADVICE.

WELL THERE'S BASICALLY WHERE YOU CAN GO AND GET THE MATERIAL OUT IN THE COUNTY AND THEN HOW MUCH, DEPENDING ON WHAT TYPE OF MATERIAL YOU GET, UM, HOW MUCH THAT IS.

SO YOU CAN TRY TO GET AS MUCH AS YOU CAN.

SO I CAN TELL YOU, I GUESS MY QUESTION IS 42,000 SPLIT.

IT'S ABOUT TEN FIVE EACH.

IS THAT WHAT OUR PLAN IS? SO THIS IS NOT MONEY, THIS IS NOT, IT IS NOT MONEY.

THIS MATERIAL MATERIALS, YES.

PROTECT GOT AND SO I DON'T KNOW IF NORMALLY THEY HAVE SO MUCH SURPLUS YOU CAN JUST GET WHAT YOU WANT, BUT IT SAID IT WAS LIMITED AND SO, SO TYPICALLY IT'S BEEN MUCH HIGHER THAN THAT.

UH, WHEN, WHEN, UH, WE GET THE RECYCLED ASPHALT MATERIAL, UH, IT HAS A VALUE ON IT.

UH, AND, AND, AND TIMES IN THE PAST THEY'VE HAD OTHER THINGS THAT BECOME AVAILABLE, WHICH THEY WILL NOTIFY US OF THAT THEY HAVE, UH, TO DISTRIBUTE IF WE NEED IT.

SO THIS IS MUCH LESS THAN IT HAS BEEN AT MANY TIMES IN THE PAST.

COMMISSIONER YOU AGREE A LOT LESS? YEAH.

SO IT'S NOT CASH? NO, IT'LL BE MATERIALS AND ITS MATERIALS THAT THEY DON'T NEED OR WANT.

IT'LL GO QUICK.

SOMETIMES THEY ALSO HAVE, UH, UH, YOU KNOW, EQUIPMENT AT, AT TIMES IN THE PAST WHERE THEY HAVE, UH, MADE THOSE AVAILABLE.

UH, UH, EXAMPLE MIGHT BE, UH, SOME USED EQUIPMENT THAT THEY'VE REPLACED AND UH, IT WILL MAKE THOSE AVAILABLE TO US.

AND IT, IT DID STATE IN THE LETTER, SO THE LETTER CAME ACROSS MY DESK AND THAT'S WHAT I HAD EMAILED TO ALL OF YOU.

AND SO IT SAID YOU HAD TO REQUEST IT, I WANNA SAY WITHIN 30 DAYS.

MM-HMM .

WHICH IT'S WAY PAST THE 30 DAYS, BUT THAT'S WHY I INCLUDED THE POSTMARK ON IT BECAUSE IT WAS NOT RIGHT.

THE LETTER WAS A LOT SOONER THAN WHEN IT WAS ACTUALLY MAILED OUT.

SO IT LOOKS LIKE IT DOES, UM, REQUIRE, UM, YOU KNOW, RESPONSE TO TDOT THAT YES, PARKER COUNTY WOULD LIKE TO PARTICIPATE.

SURE.

OKAY, THANK YOU.

THE CARRIES FIVE, OH BY THE WAY MOVE TO

Approve the changes to the Parker County Subdivision Rules and Regulations regarding the distances between driveways language in Section 3.04.ff to state “the distance between driveways (or between driveways and the intersection of two roads) shall be…” and take any action the court deems necessary. (Commissioner Holt) ]

FF TO STATE THE DISTANCE BETWEEN DRIVEWAYS OR BETWEEN DRIVEWAYS AND THE INTERSECTION OF TWO ROADS SHALL BE AND TAKE ANY ACTION THE COURT DEEMS NECESSARY.

COMMISSIONER HOLT? YEAH, THIS IS SIMPLY A CLARIFICATION.

WE HAD ADOPTED THE DISTANCE REQUIREMENTS QUITE A WHILE AGO BASED OFF OF TXDOT STANDARDS ON HOW FAR IN BETWEEN DRIVEWAYS ON COUNTY ROADS, UH, WHAT THE SPACING HAD TO BE.

HOWEVER, WE'VE HAD SOME DEVELOPMENTS COME UP RECENTLY WHERE WE RECOGNIZED THAT IT WASN'T COMPLETELY CLEAR THAT EVEN THOUGH WE HAD TO HAVE CERTAIN DISTANCES BETWEEN DRIVEWAYS, WE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT HOW CLOSE YOU COULD STACK A DRIVEWAY TO THE INTERSECTION OF TWO ROADS.

SO IMAGINE THE INTERSECTION OF TWO ROADS.

NOTHING IN, IN OUR RULES AS I UNDERSTAND IT RIGHT NOW, PREVENTS ANYBODY FROM PUTTING A DRIVEWAY 10 FOOT OFF OF THE INTERSECTION OF THOSE ROADS, WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY HAZARD.

SO THIS JUST CLARIFIES THAT THAT SAME DISTANCE REQUIREMENT BETWEEN

[00:55:01]

DRIVEWAYS DUE TO INGRESS EGRESS THERE ALSO APPLIES TO THE INTERSECTION OF TWO ROADS.

PRETTY PRETTY SURE THESE ARE COUNTY ROADS, NOT A TEXDOT AND A COUNTY ROAD.

IT'S JUST THIS COUNTY INTERSECTIONS.

WHAT WE'VE SAID HERE IS TWO ROADS, UM, COULD MEAN BOTH.

UH, I WOULD THINK WE WOULD WANT IT TO MEAN BOTH UNLESS I'M JUST MISSING SOMETHING.

WELL, IS THIS A LIKE FOUR-WAY STOP SIGN INTERSECTION OR IS IT ONE WHERE THERE'S NOT OR MAYBE A TWO TWO STOP SIGNS? IS THERE A DIFFERENCE? DIFFERENCE? I'VE, I'VE LEFT IT TO BE JUST TWO ROADS.

IN THE INTERSECTION OF TWO ROADS.

I CAN UNDERSTAND IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE A STOP SIGN AND CARS WERE COMING THROUGH THERE AT 40 MILES AN HOUR SURE.

IT'D BE DIFFERENT THAN IF IT WAS A FOUR WAY STOP.

I RECOMMEND THAT YOU ACT ACCORDINGLY IN EXCHANGE FOR RELEASE OF LIABILITY IN FAVOR OF THE COUNTY QUESTIONS.

ANY NO TO DO IT WOULD REQUIRE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO APPROVE, UH, THE CLAIM REQUESTED BY OPPOSING COUNSEL.

UM, I DON'T THINK THIS IS IN THE SENSE OF APPROVING OR DISAPPROVING THIS, I DON'T THINK THIS IS NECESSARILY A BLACK OR WHITE ISSUE WHERE ONE SIDE IS COMPLETELY RIGHT AND ONE SIDE IS COMPLETELY WRONG.

I THINK REASONABLE PEOPLE CAN DISAGREE AND I DO BELIEVE THAT THE FELLOW MEMBERS OF THE COURT, THE JUDGE AND THE COMMISSIONERS ARE REASONABLE PEOPLE.

AND I, I BELIEVE THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT THIS FROM WHAT YOU THINK IS FROM THE BEST INTEREST OF THE COUNTY AS A WHOLE, AND I HAVE A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF RESPECT FOR THAT.

UM, I THINK THAT OUR WATER ISSUES ARE SUBSTANTIAL.

WE'VE, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IT A BUNCH.

UM, I THINK THAT THE OTHER ISSUES HERE THAT HAVE BEEN PRESENTED WITH THIS PARTICULAR SUBDIVISION ARE SUBSTANTIAL.

SO WITH THAT BEING SAID, UM, I FIRMLY OPPOSE THIS AND VOTE ACCORDINGLY.

I THINK THAT THIS CASE HIGHLIGHTS THE NEED FOR IMPROVED ABILITIES ON THE BEHALF OF COUNTIES FROM THE LEGISLATURE AND ALSO FROM OUR OWN LEGAL LOCAL REPRESENTATION IN THE COUNTY'S ATTORNEY'S OFFICE TO HELP US WITH THE TOOLS THAT WE NEED TO PRESERVE GROUNDWATER FOR OUR CITIZENS.

WE'VE GOT A LOT OF WORK TO DO TO PROTECT OUR CITIZENS.

OAK TREE COURT AND TAKE ANY ACTION COURT DEEMS NECESSARY.

IT IS A PUBLIC HEARING WHAT HE WANTS DO.

JUDGE, BEFORE WE GET TO THE PUBLIC HEARING, JUST TO REFRESH THE COURT'S MEMORY, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT FOR A FEW MONTHS.

WE DISCUSSED AND VOTED TO APPROVE THAT MOVING FORWARD ON THIS, THIS IS A SUBDIVISION WHERE THERE'S A LOT OF HISTORY THERE, BUT BASICALLY IT'S GRAVEL ROADS THAT CREATE A DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR THE RESIDENTS.

THE LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICT WON'T BECAUSE IT'S A PRIVATE ROAD, GO INTO THE PRIVATE ROAD.

SO THE SCHOOL BUS IS HAVING TO STOP ON FM NINE 20.

WE WERE ABLE TO FIND A PROCESS BY WHICH THE RESIDENTS CAN PAY IN ARREARS FOR THE IMPROVEMENTS TO THE ROAD.

AND SO THIS IS SIMPLY THE NEXT STEP IN THE PROCESS THAT WE'VE ALREADY APPROVED.

WE HAVE TO HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING, A 30 DAY WAIT I BELIEVE.

AND THEN WE HAVE TO MAIL OUT THE BALLOT TO THE INDIVIDUAL RESIDENCE FOR THEM TO VOTE TO APPROVE WHETHER OR NOT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS PROCESS.

OKAY, WELL DOES IT HAVE TO BE A UNANIMOUS VOTE? MAJORITY VOTE BY THE RESIDENCE.

JUST A MAJORITY? YES SIR.

OKAY, THAT'S MY UNDERSTANDING AT THIS POINT.

IS THERE ANYONE HERE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON ITEM B? PRECINCT TWO ITEM FOUR HERE.

NINE C NINE.

WE'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 1257 AND MOVE TO THE ITEM.

WHAT'S THE NEXT STEP AFTER THIS NOW THAT WE'VE HAD THE PUBLIC HEARING? IS IT A 30 DAY WAIT? THERE IS UH, NO LATER THAN 10TH DAY AFTER THE DAY OF THE COMMISSIONER.

COURT HOLDS A PUBLIC HEARING.

CERTIFIED MAIL SHOULD BE SENT OUT WITH A BALLOT AND IT SHALL ORDER IMPROVEMENT AND ASSESSMENTS.

UH, SELF-ADDRESSED STAMPED ENVELOPE SHOULD BE INCLUDED.

UH, THE BALLOT MUST STATE THE MAXIMUM ASSESSMENT THAT COULD BE MADE AGAINST EACH PROPERTY IN THE SUBDIVISION.

SO THE NEXT STEP WOULD PROBABLY BE GET WITH BRIANNA.

ESTABLISH WHAT THE COST WOULD BE TO EACH PROPERTY OWNER THAT WOULD BE PLACED ON THE BALLOT THAT'S PRESENTED TO THEM AND THEN THEY SEND THAT BACK ALSO.

SO NOT LATER THAN THE, THE 30TH DAY AFTER THE PUBLIC HEARING.

THE COUNTY CLERKS SHALL TALLY THE BALLOTS AND DECLARE THE RESULTS TO THE COMMISSIONER'S COURT.

AND WHEN WE SEND THAT, WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO APPROVE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME THAT THEY HAVE TO PAY THAT BACK IS MY RECOLLECTION.

BASED OFF OF WHAT FREEZING NICHOLS INSTRUCTED US AND WHAT WE'VE DISCUSSED BEFORE.

AND I WANT TO SAY THAT WE AGREED ON 10 YEARS THAT THEY WOULD HAVE A 10 YEAR TIME WINDOW TO PAY THAT BACK.

A PROBLEM WITH THAT? IF WE GO WITH 10 YEARS, AS LONG AS YOU BUILD AT LEAST A 10 YEAR ROAD, I WILL DO OUR BEST.

SYSTEM OF CAUSE COMMISSIONER'S COURT MAY PROVIDE THE TIME TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF PAYMENT.

I BELIEVE WE DISCUSSED BEFORE 10 YEARS AT ZERO INTEREST.

I DON'T THINK WE'RE ALLOWED TO CHARGE IT.

YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED BACK? YEAH.

BY LAW.

[01:15:01]

MY GUYS ARE PRETTY GOOD.
