Apr 28, 2025 Commissioners Court

H BASED ON TIME RESTRAINTS, UM, TO MEET A SCHEDULE ON THE APPROVAL FOR MOTOROLA UPGRADE PROJECT CHANGE ORDERS NUMBER THREE, FOUR, AND FIVE.

WE ARE GONNA MOVE DOWN TO ITEM SEVEN

[7.H. Approval for Motorola upgrade project change orders #03, #04, and #05. (James Caywood/Judge Deen)]

UH, JAMES, IF YOU WOULD COME ON A MORNING COURT, UH, ASKING TO REVIEW THREE CHANGE ORDERS FOR MOTOROLA FOR THE EXISTING MOTOROLA UPGRADE, UH, CHANGE ORDER THREE.

I ALSO HAVE, UH, REPRESENTATIVES FROM MOTOROLA GO OVER MORE DETAIL.

UH, THREE IS FOR REMEDIATIONS, UH, UH, AT THE AGNES TOWER, UH, CROWN CASTLE SAYING WE NEED TO BEEF UP SOME STUFF FOR OUR NEW, UH, ANTENNAS GOING UP THAT WEED UP THE REMAINDER OF THE CONTINGENCY FUNDS OF THE ORIGINAL PROJECT.

SO THE, THE REMAINDER OF THAT AND THE OTHER, UH, UH, FOUR AND FIVE WILL COME OUT OF THE IT CONTINGENCIES.

I ASKED FOR, UH, DURING BUDGET TIME, SO I'M NOT ASKING FOR ANY MORE MONEY.

UH, BUT THIS WILL WEED UP, UH, JUST ABOUT ALL THOSE CONTINGENCIES I HAVE PUT IN FOR, UH, UH, THE RADIO TO CONTINUE.

THE BIGGEST PART OF THAT, UH, IS GONNA BE SMITH TOWER, UH, WAS OUTSIDE THE INITIAL SCOPE.

UH, THAT'S WHY IT WASN'T IN THE CONTINGENCY.

UH, THEY KNEW SOMETHING WAS GONNA HAPPEN, BUT THEY JUST DIDN'T KNOW.

UH, THAT KIND OF CAME ONLINE OUTSIDE OF, UH, UH, THE ORIGINAL SCOPE OF THIS UPGRADE.

YOU HAVE, UH, REPRESENTATIVE FROM MOTOR ROAD, WOULD YOU LIKE? I DO.

SO, UH, THEY'LL GO OVER THE CHANGE ORDERS WITH YOU.

WELCOME.

IF YOU WOULD STATE YOUR NAME, PLEASE? YES, SIR.

UH, GOOD MORNING, JUDGE.

MY NAME IS, UH, BOB BROWN WITH MOTOROLA.

I'M THE PROJECT MANAGER FOR THE RADIO PROJECT.

ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? WHAT, UH, WHAT UPGRADES ARE ARE YOU DOING TO THE AGONIST TOWER? SO, THE, THE TOP MOUNT ON THE TOWER IS NOT SUFFICIENT TO SUPPORT THE NEW ANTENNAS.

UM, IT'S, IT'S CALLED THE CANBRA.

IT'S THE TRIANGULAR PIECE AT THE VERY TOP OF THE TOWER, AND IT'S, IT'S WAY IT'S 900% OVERLOADED WITH THE, UM, UM, DESIGN ANTENNA SYSTEMS THAT, THAT GO UP THERE.

SO IT'LL BE A COMPLETE, UM, STRENGTHENING OF THAT, OF THE CANBRA.

DID YOU SAY 9% OR 900%? 900, 900% OVERLOADED? YES.

WELL, THE TOWER'S BEEN THERE A LONG TIME.

YEAH, YEAH.

IT'S A, IT'S A CROWN CASTLE TOWER.

UM, SO IT'S, YEAH.

YEP.

WON'T HOLD THE ANTENNAS THAT WE'RE, UH, DESIGNED TO, TO PUT UP THERE.

SO, UM, I WOULD SAY THERE, THERE WAS SOME CONTINGENCY FUNDS FOR THIS PARTICULAR TOWER.

WHICH TOWER IS THIS? AGNES, AGNES TOWER RIGHT THERE BY THE SCHOOL, THE OLD AGNES SCHOOL FROM YEARS AGO.

ONE OF THE, ONE OF THE THINGS WE DON'T LIKE AS A COURT IS SURPRISES, IS THIS, IS THIS SOMETHING THAT WAS A SURPRISE TO US AS WE BEGAN WORK ON THE TOWER? BECAUSE I THOUGHT WE DID AN EVALUATION PRIOR TO,

[00:05:01]

SO I DON'T KNOW THAT THIS ONE WAS TOO MUCH OF A, OF A SURPRISE.

BUT THE, THE WORK THAT'S DONE BEFORE THE PROJECT SOLD IS NOT THE, THE FULL STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS THAT ARE DONE ON ANY OF THE TOWERS.

I THINK THEY DO A CURSORY LOOK AT IT, BUT I DON'T BELIEVE, AND I WASN'T INVOLVED IN, IN THE PRE-SALE PROCESS, BUT I DON'T BELIEVE, 'CAUSE TYPICALLY WE DON'T DO THE WHOLE RIGOROUS, UH, PE STUDY WHERE YOU LOAD IT ALL INTO THE, THE, THE LOAD STUDY TOOL AND, AND, YOU KNOW, COME UP WITH THE, WITH THE PERCENT LOADING OF THE TOWER.

SO, UM, WE TYPICALLY, BECAUSE OF THE TIME INVOLVED IN THE, UM, PROCESS NEEDED FOR THAT IS USUALLY NOT DONE ON THE, ON THE PRESALE SIDE.

AND SO THE AMOUNT FOR THAT PARTICULAR TOWER, THE ADDITIONAL AMOUNT FOR THAT PARTICULAR TOWER, SO THAT'S IN CHANGE ORDER THREE.

THAT'S THE FIRST ONE.

THAT'S THE 1, 4, 4, 5, 0 4.

UM, AFTER THE CONTINGENCY, THE REST OF THE CONTINGENCY IS APPLIED.

IT'S A BALANCE OF 74 9, 9 36, AND 72 CENTS.

THAT'S THE ONLY QUESTION I HAD, BUT, OKAY.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? JAMES? IT'S YOUR RECOMMENDATION FOR US TO MOVE FORWARD? UH, YES, SIR.

I, I'VE GONE BACK AND FORTH.

UH, THIS HAS TAKEN SEVERAL MONTHS KIND OF HOLDING UP, UH, A LOT OF STUFF WE CAN DO IN HOUSE.

NOW AS FAR AS THAT ONE, UH, WASN'T REALLY A LOT WE COULD DO.

THAT'S KIND OF CROWN CASTLE SAYING AT THAT POINT, YOU HAVE TO DO THIS, THIS WORK THIS WAY.

UH, KIND OF HELD BY THAT.

UH, BUT I DID SHAVE A LITTLE MONEY IN THE OTHER AREAS WITH SMITH DOING IT IN-HOUSE AND STUFF.

BUT YEAH, FOR US TO MOVE FORWARD.

UH, JAMES, THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE HERE WHO MAY BE HEARING ABOUT THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME.

MAYBE THEY'RE HERE FOR A DIFFERENT REASON.

CAN YOU GIVE A 30 TO 62ND OVERVIEW OF WHY WE'RE MAKING THESE RADIO UPGRADES AND HOW IT AFFECTS PUBLIC SAFETY AND HEALTH? SO BASICALLY, THIS, UH, PROJECT IS STARTING GOING FROM, UH, UH, VHF TO THE 700 MEGAHERTZ, UH, TO HELP, UH, BETTER, UH, COVERAGE.

PLUS THE BIG DEAL IS DENSITY WITH THE HEAVY POPULATION, NEW BUILDING MATERIALS, BIGGER BUILDINGS, UH, UH, WE CAN'T GO IN WITH A, A HANDHELD RADIO AND GET COVERAGE INSIDE SOME OF THESE SCHOOLS, UH, NEW BUILDINGS.

SO WITH 700, UH, WE GET BETTER, UH, CAPACITY, UH, COVERAGE, BUT, UH, BETTER DENSITY INTO A LOT OF THE BUILDINGS AROUND, UH, PARKER COUNTY.

SO IF I, FOR PUBLIC SAFETY, IF I TRANSLATE THAT TO, TO MY LEVEL, WHICH IS SOMEWHERE AROUND CRAYON LEVEL, BASICALLY THIS HELPS THE GOOD GUYS GET TO WHERE THEY NEED TO BE AND GIVES THE RADIOS THE STRENGTH TO PENETRATE BUILDINGS LIKE THEY NEED TO.

SO FIRE, EMS, SHERIFF'S, DEPUTIES, ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF CAN GET TO WHERE THEY NEED TO BE.

AND THEY HAVE COMMUNICATION INSIDE JUST, UH, AS MANY BUILDINGS AS POSSIBLE.

UH, APPRECIATE IT IN THE EVENT.

MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER CONLEY, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER HILL.

IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR.

QUESTION.

HI, MY NAME IS DEBORAH PARKER COUNTY.

UH, HAVE YOU GUYS CHECKED FOR MALWARE? MALWARE, YEAH.

IS YOUR, UM, ARE YOUR SYSTEMS FROM CHINA? ALMOST EVERYTHING COMING INTO AMERICA NOW IS FROM CHINA.

SO HAVE YOU GUYS CHECKED FOR MALWARE? WE HAVE, UM, VERY RIGOROUS.

UH, MAYBE, MAYBE JOHN.

HOLD CAN LET ME, CAN I, IF I MAY IN THE FUTURE, PLEASE, UH, ASK TO COME UP.

STATE YOUR NAME.

WHAT IS YOUR NAME, PLEASE? DEBORAH.

DEBORAH.

UH, DEBRA WHAT? HENSLEY, I STATED MY NAME, BUT I'M SORRY.

OKAY, THANK YOU.

SORRY, I DIDN'T CATCH THAT.

AND, AND SIR, IF YOU WOULD COME UP TO THE PODIUM.

UH, COULD YOU HAVE COMMENTS PLEASE? AND YOU STATE YOUR NAME? YES, SIR.

YEAH, I'M JONATHAN CASTEL.

I'M THE, THE ACCOUNT REPRESENTATIVE FOR MOTOROLA SOLUTIONS FOR PARKER COUNTY.

SO THE, THE EQUIPMENT THAT WE SELL IS ALWAYS VETTED BY OUR INTERNAL SYSTEMS. I DON'T KNOW SPECIFICALLY IF OUR EQUIPMENT IS, UH, MANUFACTURED IN CHINA SPECIFICALLY.

I THINK A LOT OF OUR STUFF IS PRIMARILY MAYBE IN OTHER AREAS, BUT WE DO HAVE RIGOROUS PROCESSES AS BOB SPECIFIED THAT DO, UM, VET FOR THOSE THINGS AS WELL AS CYBERSECURITY MEASURES.

INTERNALLY ON OUR, ON OUR NETWORK TO BE ABLE TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE ITEMS ARE TAKEN CARE OF.

AND ON TOP OF THAT AS WELL, IS THE RADIO NETWORK IS A CLOSED SYSTEM.

IT DOESN'T HAVE VULNERABILITIES TO THE OUTSIDE NETWORKS, INTERNET, IF YOU WILL, TO BE ABLE TO HAVE PENETRATIONS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

NEED OF SOMETHING OCCURRING IN THAT MANNER.

WE ALSO HAVE THE CYBERSECURITY MEASURES THAT, UM, IT'S CALLED MDR MANAGED I DETECTION AND RESPONSE THAT WILL HELP PREVENT THOSE THINGS AND THE

[00:10:01]

AND BE ABLE TO ADDRESS IT, ISOLATE IT, AND MITIGATE IT IN THE FUTURE.

DOES THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION? IT DOES.

BUT, UM, AND THAT YOU SAID YOU'RE NOT SURE WHERE THEY COME FROM.

I QUESTION ANYTHING THAT WE HAVE COMING FROM CHINA RIGHT NOW, UM, AND THAT WE FOUND OUT WHETHER IT'S OUR PORTS, UH, AND OTHER TOWERS THAT HAVE HAD MALWARE PUT INTO 'EM, AND WE DIDN'T RECOGNIZE IT AS A COUNTRY.

SO I WOULD ASK THAT YOU GUYS GO BACK AND PLEASE ENSURE THAT WE DON'T HAVE, IT'S KINDA LIKE A BALLOON FLYING ACROSS AMERICA THAT WE FOUND OUT.

YEAH, I THINK THAT WE'VE ALREADY ANSWERED THAT.

UM, THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS.

UH, Y'ALL MAY SEE.

WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO ITEM SIX A ON INTRODUCTION OF THE NEW CITY MANAGER FOR THE CITY OF MINERAL WELLS, UH, CHASE WEEKS, IF YOU WOULD COME ON UP, INTRODUCE YOURSELF AND THANK YOU FOR COMING BY THE WAY.

WE HAVE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON ITEM? ALL IN FAVOR? CARRIE'S FIVE.

[6.A. Introduction of the new City Manager for the City of Mineral Wells. (Jason Weeks / Judge Deen)]

THANK YOU, COMMISSIONERS AND, AND REST OF THE COUNTY.

UH, MY NAME'S JASON WEEKS.

I'M THE, UH, NEW CITY MANAGER FOR CITY OF MINERAL OILS.

I, UM, JUST FINISHING UP AROUND 90 DAYS, SO STARTING PREPARING FOR THAT HUNGRY DAY.

UM, ACCOMPLISHMENTS.

UH, ONE OF THE BIGGEST THINGS, UH, THAT I, UH, BRINGING TO THE COMMUNITY IS A LOT OF EXPERIENCE IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT.

SO I, ABOUT 24 YEARS OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT EXPERIENCE.

UM, I ACTUALLY WILL BE DOING MY 24TH BUDGET THIS YEAR, AND SO STAFF IS STARTING TO WORK ON THAT.

UH, I GREW UP ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE DALLAS-FORT WORTH AREA.

GREW UP IN GREENVILLE.

UM, AND THIS IS ACTUALLY MY SECOND CAREER.

MY FIRST CAREER, UH, AT CIRA HIGH SCHOOL WAS I WAS IN THE FUNERAL BUSINESS.

SO I DID, UH, FUNERAL WORK FOR 10 YEARS, DECIDED THAT WASN'T THE WAY THAT I WANTED TO RAISE A FAMILY.

NOT THAT THERE'S NOTHING BAD ABOUT THE FUNERAL BUSINESS, UNLESS YOU OWN, DON'T OWN THE, IF YOU OWN THE, UH, A FUNERAL HOME, IT'S GREAT, BUT IF YOU'RE JUST WORKING THERE, HOURS ARE HORRIBLE.

UH, I GOT MY ACCOUNTING DEGREE FROM EAST TEXAS, UH, STATE, UH, UH, UNIVERSITY, AND, UM, PART OF THE A AND M SYSTEM THERE IN COMMERCE.

UH, I HAVE A, UH, MASTER'S IN PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION FROM UT UTA.

I'M A CERTIFIED PUBLIC MANAGER.

UM, I, UH, DECIDED I WANTED TO GET IN CITY MANAGEMENT WHILE WORKING FOR THE TOWN OF FAIRVIEW.

SO MY, UH, THE LARGEST CITY THAT I'VE WORKED FOR, UH, WAS CITY MCKINNEY WHEN I STARTED.

THERE WAS 50,000 POPULATION WHEN I LEFT, WAS 120,000 POPULATION.

UH, SO GOT A LOT OF EXPERIENCE ON THE FINANCE SIDE THERE.

DECIDED I WANTED, UH, TO GO INTO CITY MANAGEMENT WHILE I WAS IN FAIRVIEW.

AND THAT TOOK ME ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE COAST.

AND SO I, UH, SPENT FOUR YEARS AS THE ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER FOR THE CITY OF LAPORTE.

AND THERE I LEARNED A LOT OF, UH, THINGS ABOUT PUBLIC SAFETY.

I WAS, UH, MAINLY SPENT A LOT OF TIME IN OFFICE OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT.

UH, AND THEN, UH, MY FIRST CITY MANAGEMENT GIG WAS IN, UH, UH, THE CITY OF, UH, NAVASOTA, UH, AND NAVASOTA A LOT LIKE, UH, MINERAL WELLS.

WE, UH, WE SHARE TWO COUNTIES.

AND SO THERE, THE MAJORITY OF OUR CITY WAS IN GRIMES COUNTY WITH A PORTION IN BRAZOS.

AND SO, UH, MY, MY THING IS, MY, MY FIRST, LIKE I SAID, THE FIRST A HUNDRED DAYS IS TRYING TO GET THOSE RELATIONSHIPS.

I'M STILL DRINKING FROM A FIRE HOSE, TRYING TO GO AROUND AND MEET EVERYBODY, UH, AND WANTED TO BE SURE THAT I CAME OVER HERE AND, AND MET, AND YOU COULD SEE ME, MEET ME IN PERSON.

UM, I WELCOME TO, UH, TO MEET YOU INDIVIDUALLY, UH, ANYBODY THAT, THAT WANTS TO MEET WITH ME.

UH, ONE OF THE THINGS I WILL LET YOU KNOW THAT, UH, I'VE KIND OF STARTED THERE WAS I DID COFFEE WITH THE CITY MANAGER.

UH, I WILL, I WILL BE THE FIRST TO ADMIT WHEN I WENT THROUGH THE HIRING PROCESS, SOMETHING I IDENTIFIED, UH, THAT THE PUBLIC WILL ALSO, UH, HAVE ALREADY IDENTIFIED.

THERE'S LACK OF COMMUNICATION, LACK OF TRANSPARENCY IN MINE OILS.

AND SO, UH, I HAVE STARTED A, A PROJECT THAT I'M KEYING ON THREE PILLARS, CUSTOMER SERVICE, COMMUNICATION, AND TRANSPARENCY.

UH, AND AS, AS I SAID, UH, COFFEE WITH THE CITY MANAGER HAS STARTED UP THAT WE'RE ACTUALLY FINISHING UP, WE JUST FINISHED UP OUR FIRST MONTH OF THAT.

WE'RE GONNA GO ALL THE WAY THROUGH MAY.

THAT'S ON TUESDAY MORNINGS.

UH, IT'S REVOLVES AROUND DIFFERENT LOCATIONS, BUT IT'S FROM 9:00 AM TO 10:30 AM UH, I UNDERSTAND THAT NOT EVERYBODY CAN TAKE OFF, AND EVERY, NOT EVERYBODY HAS, UH, OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT.

AND SO, IN, IN MAY, MAY 13TH FROM SIX TO 7:30 PM UH, WE'LL BE HAVING, UH, UH, A, A MEETUP.

SOME PEOPLE WANNA CALL IT COCKTAILS WITH THE CITY MANAGER, WHATEVER YOU WANNA CALL IT.

UH, BUT IT'S AT BANKHEAD, UH, WINE BAR DOWNTOWN.

UH, AND THEN AS WE MOVE INTO THE SUMMER, I ACTUALLY WANT TO BE ABLE TO SHORTEN THAT UP.

AND SO I HAVE IT ONCE A MONTH, BUT IT GIVES AN OPPORTUNITY FOR RESIDENTS, UH, THE PUBLIC, UH, ANYBODY, VISITORS, BUSINESS OWNERS, CAN COME AND, AND VISIT WITH ME.

NOW, THAT DOESN'T MEAN I, I'M NOT, THAT'S THE ONLY TIME YOU CAN MEET WITH ME.

LIKE I SAID, IF YOU WANT TO COME AND VISIT WITH ME OR I'LL COME OVER HERE AND VISIT WITH YOU, FEEL FREE TO REACH OUT TO ME.

UM, AND, UH, I'LL, AT THIS TIME, I'LL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE.

I, I, I, AGAIN, I'VE, I'VE BEEN CIRCULATING AROUND AND TRYING TO TO HEAR THE PUBLIC.

AND SO

[00:15:01]

I, I'VE HEARD A LOT, UH, AND TRYING TO IMPLEMENT AS MUCH AS I CAN, UH, ESPECIALLY AS IT RELATES TO CUSTOMER SERVICE AND COMMUNICATION.

WELL, ONE OF THE THINGS BEFORE I MOVE TO COURT IS, UH, WE APPRECIATE YOU COMING HERE, UH, NUMBER ONE, YOU KNOW, AND WE, AS WE WORK TOGETHER THROUGH, UH, OUR WATER ISSUES, UH, COMMISSIONER WALDEN, I'M SURE HAS A COMMENT ABOUT THAT.

UH, SO COMMISSIONER, IF YOU'D LIKE TO, ABSOLUTELY.

UH, THE SECONDLY, UH, YOU HAVE AN AIRPORT, UH, IT'S A PARKER COUNTY AIRPORT.

AND, UH, UH, SO IT'S, IT'S A LARGE AIRPORT AND, AND VERY UNDERUTILIZED.

AND SO, UH, IT'S ANOTHER ASSET THAT, THAT THE CITY OF MINERAL WELLS HAS THAT THAT COULD BE SOMETHING THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT HERE IN PARKER COUNTY TO US AS WELL.

I'M GONNA MOVE TO ONE ITEM HERE.

UH, BEFORE WE GO INTO THE CRUX, I THINK FOR A LOT OF YOU ARE HERE, UH, BUT I WANT TO GO AHEAD

[7.A. Proclaim May 11th, 2025 as Children's Mental Wellness Day in Parker County. (Ashley Lilavois / Cintia Ortiz / Judge Deen)]

UH, THIS ONE'S A BIGGIE.

I MEAN, SO WE HAVE COMPANY, UH, IF YOU WOULD, UH, COME ON UP AND, UH, INTRODUCE YOUR, OUR GUEST, UH, CYNTHIA, IF YOU WOULD PLEASE.

GOOD MORNING, COMMISSIONERS.

GOOD MORNING, JUDGE.

I HAVE ASHLEY LIAL WITH PECAN VALLEY TODAY, AND I ALSO HAVE SHE GO EMILY.

SHE IS OUR, UH, REPRESENTATIVE WITH COOK'S CHILDREN ACE'S TEAM.

AND SO TODAY WE WANNA BRING UP TO YOU, UM, A PRESENTATION ON OUR, UM, PROCLAMATION TODAY FOR CHILDREN'S, UH, MENTAL WELLNESS.

UH, FOR,

[00:20:01]

I HAVE ASHLEY PASSING, UM, SOME INFORMATION THAT'S GONNA BE PART OF THIS PRESENTATION.

BUT BASICALLY, UM, PECAN VALLEY GOT A GRANT FROM SAMHSA THAT, UM, TO CREATE A, UH, SYSTEM OF CARE HERE IN PARKER COUNTY, WHICH WE DID, UH, WE CALLED IT PARKER COUNTY SYSTEM OF CARE TO PROVIDE, UH, COMMUNITY-BASED SERVICES AND SUPPORT, UH, TO OUR COMMUNITY.

AND, UM, TO DECREASE DUPLICATION, INCREASE EFFICIENCY, AND LEVERAGE RESOURCES TO REMOVE BARRIERS.

BASICALLY, PARKER COUNTY SYSTEM OF CARE IS A HUB FOR ALL OF OUR RESOURCES HERE IN PARKER COUNTY.

THIS IS WHERE ALL OF OUR ENTITIES COME TOGETHER, NONPROFITS, FAITH BASE, EVERYONE COMES TOGETHER, EDUCATES OUR COMMUNITY, AND, UM, EXPLAINS HOW THE RESOURCES ARE, UH, AVAILABLE TO OUR COMMUNITY.

WE ALSO TALK ABOUT OUR NEEDS, UM, BASED OUT OF DATA, UH, THAT IS PROVIDED TO US.

COOK'S CHILDREN IS ONE OF OUR STRONGEST AND BIGGEST PARTNER, UM, HERE IN PARKER COUNTY.

AND THEY, UM, HAVE PROVIDED OUR COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT, WHICH IN TWO WEEKS, THE UPDATED ONE IS GONNA COME OUT.

BUT WE DON'T HAVE THAT THAT'S GONNA BE PRESENTED ON A SUMMIT.

UM, BUT THIS IS THE PREVIOUS, UM, DATA THAT WAS PROVIDED.

AND FROM THAT DATA, THAT'S HOW WE, UM, DECIDE, YOU KNOW, WHAT, WHAT OTHER RESOURCES NEED TO BE BROUGHT IN, WHERE THE NEEDS ARE ON, OR EITHER NORTH EAST, SOUTH OF SIDE OF, OF THE COUNTY.

UM, AND BECAUSE OF THAT REASON, WE DECIDED THAT WE NEEDED TO, UM, READ INTO DETAIL ON OUR DATA ON WHAT THE BIG, THE BIGGEST NEEDS WERE FOR, UM, OUR YOUTH AND OUR, UH, CHILDREN, RIGHT? AND SO, UNFORTUNATELY RIGHT NOW, UH, WE HAVE HAD A RECENT LOSS OF SOME STUDENTS IN PARKER COUNTY, AND, AND IT'S DUE TO SUICIDE.

AND SO THAT JUST BRINGS ALERT, YOU KNOW, IT BRINGS US A RED, GIVES US A RED FLAG TO CONTINUE TO, UM, PROMOTE AWARENESS IN REGARDS TO CHILDREN'S MENTAL HEALTH.

AND SO PROJECT THRIVE IS BASICALLY, UM, IN SCHOOL PROGRAM THAT OFFERS, UH, SERVICES TO OUR YOUTH, UM, TO STRENGTHEN THEIR MENTAL HEALTH.

AND SO WE HAVE ACCOMPLISHED, UM, TO HAVE EIGHT OF 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 MOUS IN OUR SCHOOL DISTRICTS.

UH, WITH OVER A HUNDRED REFERRALS, UH, UP TO DATE.

THAT MEANS OVER A HUNDRED STUDENTS ARE GETTING SERVICES UNDER THIS GRANT AT NO COST.

UNFORTUNATELY, THIS GRANT IS GONNA BE COMPLETED, IT'S GONNA CLOSE OUT IN AUGUST, AND IT'S VERY SAD FOR US TO NOT HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO RENEW THIS GRANT.

BUT EVEN WITH THAT, PARKER COUNTY SYSTEM OF CARE IS NOT GONNA GIVE UP.

WE'RE GONNA CONTINUE TO HELP, UH, PARKER COUNTY, UH, ENTITIES TO CONTINUE TO OFFER RESOURCES TO CONTINUE TO EDUCATE OUR COMMUNITY, TO SUPPORT OUR YOUTH AND OUR FAMILIES, UM, WITH PARKER COUNTY SYSTEM OF CARE.

CYNTHIA, I, I THINK IN, IN, JUST IN THIS SPIRIT OF TIME, I THINK JUST WRAP IT UP IN THE NEXT FEW SECONDS.

I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE ASHLEY, IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING YOU'D LIKE TO SAY.

YOU KNOW, JUST BASICALLY THE BIGGEST, UH, CONTRIBUTOR TO THIS IS, UM, COOK'S CHILDREN, WHICH THEY'VE SUPPORTED US ON SUPPORTING OUR SCHOOL COUNSELORS BY EDUCATING THEM THROUGH OUR YEARLY COUNSELOR SUMMITS.

AND THAT INCLUDES ALL OF OUR SCHOOL COUNSELORS.

AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO DO THAT THROUGH PARKER, UH, PARKER COUNTY SYSTEM OF CARE.

AND SO, I WANNA THANK YOU ALL FOR ALLOWING US TO BE HERE.

ASHLEY HAS PROVIDED, UH, SOME INFORMATION ABOUT OUR RESPITE CENTER HERE IN, UM, PARKER COUNTY FOR OUR YOUTH.

AND IT ALLOWS 13 AND 17-YEAR-OLD CHILDREN TO TAKE A, YOU KNOW, SOME TIME OFF AND RELEASE AND GET RESET, UM, ON THEIR MENTAL HEALTH.

THAT WAS PRETTY MUCH IT.

I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME.

THRIVE LED BY PARKER COUNTY CENTERS, IS OBSERVING CHILDREN'S MENTAL WELLNESS DAY BY HOLDING THE FAMILY WELLNESS IN PARKER COUNTY.

AND AGAIN, ASHLEY, THANK YOU FOR COMING.

UM, WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER HOLT, A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN ON THIS PROCLAMATION.

THANK YOU AGAIN FOR, FOR BRINGING THIS UP.

IF Y'ALL WOULD COME ON UP AND WE'LL GET A PICTURE OF THIS.

THANKS FOR POINTING THAT OUT TO ME.

WELL, I DO HAVE, UH, WE DO NEED TO TAKE CARE OF ONE THING.

WE HAVE DOUG SHAW, WHO'S THE DIRECTOR OF THE UPPER TRINITY OF GROUNDWATER.

UH, DOUG, WOULD YOU COME UP, UH, GET THIS OUTTA WAY? 'CAUSE WE DON'T DO THIS RIGHT NOW.

YOU'RE GONNA BE HERE A WHILE, .

NO PROBLEM.

I APPRECIATE THAT.

THAT, UH, I THINK THIS IS VERY STRAIGHTFORWARD THAT, UH, ON ITEM

[7.C. Discuss/Take action on Upper Trinity Groundwater Conservation District's vacated Board of Directors seat effective 6/1/2025. (Doug Shaw / Judge Deen)]

SEVEN C, DISCUSS, TAKE ACTION ON OPPORTUNITY GROUNDWATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT'S VACATED BOARD OF DIRECTOR OF SEAT EFFECTIVE 6 1 20 25.

SO, YOU KNOW, EVERY TWO YEARS I COME, I, I SEND YOU A LETTER JUDGE SAYING, YOU KNOW, ONE OF OUR TWO BOARD MEMBERS FROM PARKER COUNTY'S TERMS COMING UP.

UM, AND THOSE, THOSE TERMS END ON JUNE 1ST.

UH, THIS YEAR IT'S, IT'S TIM WATTS, HIS TERMS UP.

TIM'S BEEN ON OUR BOARD, I DON'T KNOW SINCE THE VERY BEGINNING, BUT IF NOT THE VERY BEGINNING, VERY CLOSE, OH 8, 0 9.

UM, MR. WATTS HAS, UH, SOME ISSUES GOING ON IN HIS LIFE THAT THAT KIND OF, UH, KEEP HIM FROM BEING ABLE TO CONTINUE TO SERVE ON OUR BOARD.

AND, AND SO I GUESS WE'RE ASKING YOU GUYS TO, TO, TO SELECT OR APPOINT A NEW MEMBER TO OUR BOARD THAT WOULD BE EFFECTIVE JUNE 1ST.

DOES THIS PERSON NEED TO LIVE IN ANY PARTICULAR AREA? IS IT DISTRICTED OR IS IT JUST AT LARGE? HE NEEDS TO BE, THEY NEED TO BE A REGISTERED VOTER IN PARKER COUNTY.

UM, AND THAT'S ABOUT THE, THE LIMIT.

UH, THEY CAN'T SERVE ON ANY OTHER PUBLIC BOARD, UM, YOU KNOW, PRIVATE BOARDS, THAT'S FINE.

BUT ANY OTHER, THEY CAN'T BE CONSIDERED AN OFFICER OF THE STATE.

SO, OKAY.

YOU KNOW, ONCE THEY BECOME A MEMBER OF OUR BOARD, THEY BECOME AN OFFICER OF THE STATE.

SO YOU CAN'T HAVE THAT DUAL OFFICERSHIP.

SO WE'LL TAKE NO ACTION ON THIS AND THIS, UH, IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION ON THIS OR ANY RECOMMENDATIONS? UH, WE'LL HAVE A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR YOU.

I, I APPRECIATE THAT.

AND, AND, AND I, AND I, ANYBODY THAT'S INTERESTED, ANYBODY THAT Y'ALL, IF YOU WANT TO SEND 'EM TO ME JUST SO YOU CAN TALK TO ME, LIKE FIGURE OUT KIND OF WHAT, WHAT ALL IT'S GONNA ENTAIL, TIMING WISE, MEETINGS, OTHER THINGS, UM, I'M HAPPY TO VISIT WITH THEM PERSON.

WE'LL HAVE THIS BACK ON THE NEXT AGENDA TO GET IT FILLED.

I WILL BE AROUND.

HAD SOME PRELIMINARY CONVERSATIONS.

I KNOW I HAVE SOME FOLKS THAT ARE INTERESTED IN IT AND OKAY.

ARE Y'ALL OKAY WITH TABLING THIS AND THEN PUTTING IT BACK ON NEXT AGENDA TO MAKE THAT APPOINTMENT? IT'S NOT NECESSARY TABLE.

JUST TAKE NO ACTION.

TAKE NO ACTION IS THE CORRECT THING TO DO, AND THEN BRING IT BACK, UH, IN TWO WEEKS PROBABLY.

THANK YOU FOR COMING.

OUTSTANDING.

I'LL SEE Y'ALL IN TWO WEEKS.

Y'ALL HOLLER AT ME IF Y'ALL NEED ANYTHING.

THANK YOU, DOUG.

ITEM B, UNDER PRECINCT TWO, ITEM TWO ON THE APPROVAL OF THE FINAL PLAN FOR SUBDIVISION, BE KNOWN AS MUSLIMS, UNITED PHASE TWO CONSISTING OF 4.448 ACRES DEVELOPED BY MUSLIMS UNITED FOR PROGRESS INCORPORATED LOCATED OFF OF RUSSELL BEND ROAD WITH WELL WATER AND PRECINCT TWO.

THANK YOU, DOUG.

OKAY, WE'RE GOING TO MOVE INTO PLATTING UNDER

[B. PRECINCT 2 (Part 1 of 2)]

UH, COMMISSIONER, IF YOU WOULD OPEN THE DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM.

I THINK AT THIS POINT, NORMALLY, UH, JOHN FOREST GETS UP THERE.

YEAH, TAKES A LOOK AT THE FILE AND THEN WE CAN PROCEED WITH THE DISCUSSION.

AND UNDER NORMAL PROCEDURE, THE DEVELOPER HAS PROVIDE A TAX

[00:30:01]

CERTIFICATE INDICATING A ZERO BALANCE PERMITTING HAS APPROVED PRIVATE WATER AND PRIVATE WASTE DISPOSAL.

AND BASED ON OUR SUBDIVISION RULES, THEY HAVE PROVIDED ALL OTHER DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED UNDER OUR SUBDIVISION RULES.

SO, JOHN, IS IT YOUR UNDERSTANDING THAT THESE FOLKS HAVE MET ALL OF THE REQUIREMENTS ESTABLISHED BY THE STATE FOR A NEW SUBDIVISION? A AS FAR AS OUR SUBDIVISION RULES AND THROUGH THE, THE STATE UNDER 2 32, THEY HAVE.

VOTED NO ON BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW ABOUT Y'ALL, BUT I THINK WE'RE RUNNING OUTTA WATER.

SO I DO HAVE SOME COMMENTS BEFORE WE MOVE FORWARD.

I KNOW THAT SHOCKS ALL THE MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSIONER'S COURT THAT I WOULD HAVE SOME COMMENTS.

UM, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT, UM, HAS OCCUPIED A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF MY TIME OVER THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS, AND THERE'S A LOT OF VERY WELL-MEANING PEOPLE ON BOTH SIDES OF THIS ISSUE.

I'VE HAD A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT I RESPECT REACH OUT WITH SOME VERY SERIOUS CONCERNS.

THERE'S THINGS GOING ON IN PLACES LIKE DEARBORN, MICHIGAN AND IN PLANO THAT ARE ATROCIOUS.

THERE'S NOT A BETTER WORD FOR IT.

IT'S, IT'S A VIOLATION OF OUR WAY OF LIFE.

IT'S A THREAT TO AMERICAN FREEDOM, AND THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO IT.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT PLACES LIKE THAT, WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL THOUGH THAT WE DON'T PAINT EVERY SITUATION WITH THE SAME BRUSH JUST BECAUSE IT MAY LOOK A LITTLE BIT SIMILAR.

SO HERE'S SOME FACTS ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR CASE.

THERE'S A FAMILY THERE THAT MOVED IN IN 1985.

THEY CHOSE A NAME CALLED MUSLIMS UNITED FOR PROGRESS BACK IN 1985.

I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY CHOSE THAT NAME.

THEIR KIDS WENT TO PEACE OR SCHOOLS BY ALL ACCOUNTS MADE EXCELLENT GRADES WERE VERY WELL BEHAVED.

SOME OF THEM SERVED IN THE US MILITARY.

AND I'VE HAD REPORTS FROM MANY LOCAL PROMINENT PEOPLE IN PESTER, INCLUDING RELATIVES OF THE MAYOR, INCLUDING FOLKS WHO SERVED ON THE SCHOOL BOARD, INCLUDING FOLKS WHO SERVED ON THE I OR SERVED IN THE ISD, THAT THIS FAMILY HAS BEEN AN EXCELLENT FAMILY, EXCELLENT NEIGHBORS, THEY'VE, THEIR KIDS HAVE SPENT THE NIGHT THERE, ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF.

FOR DECADES, I HAVE NOT MET ONE PERSON YET WHO KNOWS THIS FAMILY, WHO HAS SPOKEN AGAINST THIS AT ALL.

AND TO ME, THAT HAS TO WEIGH IN TO THIS DECISION.

IN FACT, EVERYONE WHO KNOWS THEM THAT I'VE HEARD FROM HAS SPOKEN OUT AGGRESSIVELY AND PROACTIVELY IN THEIR DEFENSE.

ALSO, JUST FOR THE RECORD, THIS IS FOR FOUR AND A HALF ACRES.

I HAD A BUNCH OF PEOPLE ASK ME WHY WE WERE APPROVING A 4,000 ACRE COMPOUND IN PESTER.

THERE MIGHT BE A COUPLE OF ENTITIES THAT OWN FOUR AND A HALF THOUSAND ACRES IN, IN PARKER COUNTY, BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT'S GOING ON HERE.

JUST FOR THE RECORD, THIS TYPE OF REPL IS DONE ALL THE TIME.

IF YOU COME TO COMMISSIONER'S COURT, YOU WILL SEE ALL THE TIME FAMILIES CARVING OFF A COUPLE OF ACRES FOR THEIR KIDS.

IT'S DONE EVERY SINGLE TIME WE MEET.

THIS IS THE PART WHERE IT'S MY JOB TO LISTEN TO THE RESIDENTS HERE IN PARKER COUNTY.

THE RESIDENTS THAT KNOW THIS FAMILY SPEAK AGGRESSIVELY ON THEIR DEFENSE.

THERE ARE OTHER RESIDENTS THOUGH, WHO HAVE SOME VERY SERIOUS, REASONABLE CONCERNS BASED OFF OF WHAT'S GOING ON IN OTHER PLACES.

AS I SIT HERE AND I LOOK AT THIS, I THINK ABOUT THE FACT THAT I TOOK AN OATH TO UPHOLD THE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES AND THE LAWS OF TEXAS IN BOTH THE US LAW AND IN TEXAS LAW.

FREEDOM OF RELIGION IS VERY WELL ESTABLISHED IN TEXAS LAW, IN PARTICULAR, PERSONAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, REIGN SUPREME.

THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE SAYING, WELL, JUST DENY THE PLAT.

AND I THINK IT'S BECAUSE THERE'S SOME CONFUSION AROUND WHAT A COUNTY CAN AND CAN'T DO.

AND SOME OF THIS CONFUSION IS FROM PEOPLE THAT FRANKLY OUGHT TO KNOW BETTER.

UM, OR AT LEAST IT'S, IT'S FRUSTRATING TO ME THAT THEY DON'T KNOW BETTER.

IF YOU COME TO PLATTING, YOU'LL HEAR THE COMMISSIONERS TALK ABOUT ALL THE TIME, TEXAS LAW IS VERY, VERY CLEAR ABOUT WHAT WE ARE ALLOWED TO DENY A PLAT BASED UPON.

THIS IS NOT A VOTE OF APPROVAL WHEN WE APPROVE A NEW PLAT.

INSTEAD IT'S MORE OF A CERTIFICATION, AND WE ARE EXECUTING OUR MINISTERIAL DUTY THAT SAYS THAT ACCORDING TO OUR BEST INFORMATION, THE DEVELOPER OR THE ENTITY INVOLVED HAS MET THE STATE ESTABLISHED REQUIREMENTS FOR PUTTING IN A NEW SUBDIVISION.

IF WE HAD THE RIGHT TO VOTE, NO, THERE ARE A LOT OF SUBDIVISIONS THAT I WOULD'VE

[00:35:01]

I THINK OUR TRAFFIC IS TERRIBLE.

I CAN PROMISE YOU I WOULD'VE VOTED NO ON A WHOLE LOT OF 'EM IF I HAD THE LEGAL RIGHT TO DO SO.

AND I THINK THESE OTHER COMMISSIONERS WOULD ALSO HAVE VOTED NO.

SO THAT'S REALLY ALL I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THAT, THAT THIS IS A TOUGH ISSUE.

THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT I RESPECT ON BOTH SIDES WHO ARE ASKING ME TO FIGHT AGAINST THIS AND ASKING ME TO SUPPORT THIS.

SO WITH THAT BEING SAID, I'D LIKE TO OPEN IT UP TO THE OTHER COMMISSIONERS AND HEAR WHAT Y'ALL HAVE TO SAY BECAUSE DUE TO, DUE TO DAISY CHAINING LAWS AND THINGS LIKE THAT, WE CAN'T TALK ABOUT THIS STUFF AHEAD OF TIME.

WE'RE BREAKING THE LAW.

CORRECT.

UM, CAN, BEFORE WE DO THAT, CAN JOHN, CAN YOU ADDRESS JUST THE REQUIREMENT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENT TO DO THIS? AND JAMIE WALKED IN? SO WITH THE PLATTING OFFICE, THEY'RE, THEY'RE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT CERTAIN DOCUMENTS TO ADHERE TO AS FAR AS WATER, OSSF, UH, TAXES ARE PAID, UH, THAT THEY ARE GOING TO BE SERVICED BY A SCHOOL DISTRICT.

THEY'RE GONNA BE SERVICED BY ELECTRIC COMPANY, THAT THEY'RE GONNA BE SERVICED BY POST OFFICE.

THOSE ARE THE ADDITIONAL LEGAL DOCUMENTS THAT ARE REQUIRED.

AND WE HAVE A, A CHECKLIST, UH, THROUGH THE PLANNING OFFICE THAT EACH DEVELOPER IS REQUIRED TO GO THROUGH AND CHECK THOSE BOXES.

AND SO IN THIS SITUATION, IN THIS PARTICULAR INSTANCE, THEY'VE GONE THROUGH THOSE STEPS AND CHECKED THOSE BOXES.

JOHN, IN YOUR OPINION, ARE WE ALLOWED, LEMME REPHRASE THAT.

WHAT ARE WE, WHAT WOULD GIVE US THE RIGHT TO DENY A PLAT? BECAUSE SO FAR THERE'S BEEN ONE PLAT IN THE TWO AND A HALF YEARS THAT I'VE BEEN HERE THAT THERE'S BEEN, UM, ONE DENIAL ON THAT I'M AWARE OF.

AND IF I REMEMBER RIGHT, IT WAS ME, UH, AND I GOT OVERTURNED FOUR TO ONE.

AND I'M NOT BITTER ABOUT THAT AT ALL.

I PROMISE YOU.

UH, BUT, BUT WHAT ARE WE LEGALLY ALLOWED TO DENY A PLAT ON IF THEY ARE NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH 2 32? THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE.

AND SO THAT'S WHERE WE DRAW OUR RIGHTS FROM AS FAR AS ENFORCING HOW THESE DEVELOPMENTS COME INTO PLAY.

UH, UPPER TRINITY GROUNDWATER DISTRICT, AS A MATTER OF FACT, THEY ARE IN PLAY AS WELL.

IF THERE'S GONNA BE A WATER, WELL, IF THERE'S, UH, GONNA BE SEPTIC SYSTEMS, THAT'S IN PLAY.

THAT'S THE OSSF.

THEY HAVE TO GET PERMITTING FOR SEPTIC.

AND THAT'S A ONE ACRE FOR THE SEPTIC.

IT'S A TWO ACRE FOR A WATER.

WELL, SO IF THEY'RE NOT ABLE TO COMPLY WITH THOSE SPECIFIC LEGAL RESTRICTIONS UNDER 2 32, THEN WE CAN DENY THAT PLAT.

BUT IT HAS TO BE A, A LEGAL REASON TO DENY OR AS A MATTER OF LAW, THEY GET APPROVED.

WELL, IT, IT, IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE APPROVED TODAY, DOES IT? CAN WE JUST DO SO TAKE NO ACTION AND COME BACK IN TWO WEEKS AND SO WE CAN WELL, WHAT? COME UP WITH SOME MORE, AND I'D HAVE TO ASK JAMIE RESULTS WHEN THEY COMPLETED ALL THE PAPERWORK, BECAUSE FROM THAT DATE, MOVING FORWARD, UH, ONCE THEY'VE COMPLIED WITH OUR, OUR SUBDIVISION RULES AND TURNED IN ALL THE DOCUMENTATION THAT'S REQUIRED OF THEM, IF WE TAKE NO ACTION AS A MAYOR OF LAW WITHIN 30 DAYS, IT'S AUTOMATICALLY APPROVED.

AND THAT'S BY STATE STATUTE.

THAT'S WHAT COMES OUT OF AUSTIN.

THAT'S THE RULES THAT THEY'VE MOVED.

IT'S AUTOMATICALLY APPROVED AFTER 30 DAYS FROM COMPLETION OF ALL THE, OKAY.

WHEN WAS IT REQUIRED? WHEN WAS IT COMPLETED? THEY SUBMITTED EVERYTHING FOR THEIR FIRST APPROVAL, MARCH 18TH.

SO I GUESS AS OF FOUR 14, EVERYTHING IT LOOKS LIKE HAS BEEN DONE.

SO THE ANSWER, THE ANSWER IS APRIL THE 14TH IS WHEN IT WAS COMPLETED, THE APPLICATION WAS COMPLETED.

WELL, THEY SUBMITTED THREE 18, WE SUBMITTED CORRECTIONS WITHIN 10 DAYS.

FOR EVERYTHING ELSE.

I DON'T, I JUST KNOW THEY'VE MET ALL THE REQUIREMENTS AND HAVE EVERYTHING TURNED IN.

JOHN, THAT THAT CORRECTIONS DOESN'T MATTER, ISN'T IT THE INITIAL APPLICATION? IT'S GONNA BE UPON COMPLETION.

THE, THE, THE FINAL COMPLETION IS WHEN, WHEN THE 30 DAYS BEGINS.

SO THE FINAL COMPLETION IS GOING TO BE APRIL THE 14TH, YOU THINK? POSSIBLY.

I MEAN, I BELIEVE IT'S WHEN THEY ULTIMATELY RESPONDED WITH CORRECTIONS.

YEAH, RIGHT.

WE HAVE THE 10 DAYS TO SUBMIT CORRECTIONS.

THEY HAD EVERYTHING SUBMITTED PRIOR TO MEETING THIS LAST AGENDA THAT THAT'S REALLY, YOU KNOW.

I'M ASKING THAT IS BECAUSE I'D SEEN DIFFERENT REFERENCES AND I WASN'T POSITIVE WHICH ONE IT WAS.

JAMIE, WHEN DID THEY GIVE YOU THE CORRECTIONS? BECAUSE THAT, THAT'S WHEN THE DAYS UPON HAVING EVERYTHING COMPLETED.

UM, LET ME SEE.

I I NEED THEIR FOLDER.

OH, I'M SORRY, COMMISSIONER.

I BELIEVE, TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, ONCE, ONCE THEY SUBMIT AND THEN JAMIE GOES BACK WITH, WITH THE CORRECTIONS THEY NEED TO MAKE, ONCE THEY COMPLY WITH THOSE CORRECTIONS, THAT'S WHEN OUR CLOCK STARTS FOR 30 DAYS.

THE REASON

[00:40:01]

I THINK THE BIG THING WE WERE WAITING, WAITING ON, SORRY, GO AHEAD.

WAS APPROVAL FROM THE UPPER TRINITY BECAUSE OF THEIR WELL SITUATION.

AND WE GOT THAT BACK MARCH 28TH.

SO I WOULD SAY THAT WAS THE LAST DATE FOR CORRECTIONS.

SO WE GOT TILL THE 28TH OF APRIL.

BUT WE WOULDN'T HAVE ANOTHER AGENDA TODAY.

THAT'S WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE.

TODAY'S THE DAY.

YEAH, MAN, TIME, TIME FLIES.

THANK YOU FOR, FOR THAT.

UM, OKAY, IS THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM THE COURT? BUT AGAIN, THIS IS A AGENDA ITEM.

I'M GONNA OPEN, UH, THIS UP TO, IT IS NOT A PUBLIC HEARING, BUT I WOULD ASK THAT IF ANYBODY HAS ANYTHING TO SAY, I WOULD ALLOW THAT TO COME UP AND SPEAK, BUT LIMIT THAT TO IT TO YEP.

UH, TWO MINUTES.

GIVEN THE CIRCUMSTANCES AND, AND THE TIMING OF I HAVE A QUESTION.

UH, RUSTY, ARE YOU IN HERE? YES.

I'M, ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH THIS? DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE, ON THE OSSF, WHAT WAS APPLIED OR LIKE WHAT TYPE OF STRUCTURE OR, OR ON THIS PLAT FOR THE SEPTIC RESIDENCES.

SINGLE FAMILY? YES.

HOW MANY? I BELIEVE THERE'S FOUR.

SEE, THEY'RE, THEY JUST WANNA BUILD ADDITIONAL HOMES.

SO WHEN YOU DO THAT, YOU NEED, YOU NEED A PLAQUE.

YEP.

SO YOU GOT, YOU KNOW, ONE SEPTIC SYSTEM PER PLAT.

THAT'S WHY I WAS WONDERING WHAT SIZING THEY HAD REQUESTED FROM YOU.

WE, I DON'T REALLY HAVE A SIZING.

I KNOW IT'S JUST SINGLE FAMILY FOR, FOR SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE.

SO THIS WOULDN'T BE LIKE A COMMERCIAL NO TYPE DEAL.

NO, THERE'S NOTHING, NOTHING THAT SUBMITTED TO MY OFFICE THAT WOULD INDICATE THAT AT ALL.

AND THESE HOMES ARE FOR THEIR KIDS, IS THAT, MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THERE ARE KIDS WHO GRADUATED FROM FESTER WHO ARE MOVING BACK TO THE AREA.

THIS IS ONE HOME ON EACH OF THE TWO LOTS.

SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A TOTAL OF TWO NEW HOMES FOR FAMILY MEMBERS THAT ARE MOVING BACK THIS PART.

PARDON? I THINK DID, DIDN'T THEY DO THE PLA TODAY IS FOR FOUR ACRES TOTAL? YEAH, IT'S TWO, TWO ACRE LOTS.

HOLD ON.

BUT I THINK THEY HAD, HOLD ON.

DIDN'T THEY DO IT? SO LET ME, LET ME CLARIFY.

THEY HAD PHASE ONE, WHICH WAS TWO LOTS.

NOW THEY'RE IN PHASE TWO, WHICH IS TWO LOTS.

THAT IS CORRECT.

SO THERE'S A TOTAL OF FOUR LOTS.

BUT WHAT WE'RE DISCUSSING TODAY IS TWO LOTS OF TWO ACRES EACH, AND A TOTAL OF TWO NEW HOMES.

MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THESE HOMES ARE BEING BUILT FOUR CHILDREN WHO ARE MOVING BACK, WHO GRADUATED FROM PESTER.

ANECDOTALLY, I HAVE NOT CONFIRMED THIS PART.

MY UNDERSTANDING IS, AND AGAIN, I HAVE NOT CONFIRMED THIS EXACT PART, ONE OF THE CHILDREN WHO'S MOVING BACK IS A US ARMY VETERAN.

SO RU RUSTY, IF THEY WERE GOING TO VARY FROM THAT SINGLE FAMILY, WOULD THEY HAVE TO GO THROUGH AND GET A DIFFERENT PERMIT IF THEY WERE GONNA DO A COMMERCIAL OR THEY'RE GONNA DO SOMETHING LARGER? YES.

SO THEY'D HAVE TO COME BACK THROUGH PERMITTING.

AND THAT WOULD YES.

THAT, YEAH.

I MEAN, IT, IT WOULD BE, IT WOULD STILL BE A SEPTIC SYSTEM, BUT IT WOULD BE A, A DIFFERENT PROCESS.

SO I HAVE A QUESTION.

UH, JOHN, THIS HAS TO DO WITH THE, THE ENTITY THAT OWNS THIS PROPERTY.

IT, IT APPEARS TO BE A CORPORATION, UH, NON-PROFIT.

I, I, I'M, I'M QUESTIONING, I'M, I'M, IT, IT APPEARS TO BE A CORPORATION BECAUSE OF THE TITLE AS INC AS I SEE IT IN THE TAX RECORDS.

UM, IS THIS A NONPROFIT THAT DOES NOT PAY PROPERTY TAXES? IS MY QUESTION THAT WOULD'VE TO COME FROM TAX OFFICE? I'M NOT NOT SURE.

I THINK BECAUSE I LOOK IN THE RECORDS IN THE TAX OFFICE, I DON'T SEE WHERE THERE'S MORE THAN ANYTHING OTHER THAN AGRICULTURAL EXEMPTION ON THE PROPERTIES.

AND I, I DIDN'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANOTHER PIECE OF, I THINK JACOB HAD CHECKED ON THAT TO SEE, UH, SO I'VE NOT HEARD FROM THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT, BUT I, I CAN TELL YOU THAT WHAT I SEE IS UP UNTIL A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, THEY HAD PAID NORMAL PROPERTY TAXES AND AS OF A FEW YEARS AGO, THEY STARTED GETTING AGRICULTURAL EXEMPTIONS.

OKAY, SO THIS PROPERTY IS AGRICUL HAS AGRICULTURAL TAX EXEMPTION, BUT THERE'S NOT, NOT ANY OTHER TYPES OF EXEMPTIONS THAT'S BEEN, I THINK JAMIE'S GOT THE, UH, YEAH.

ADDRESS FOR EMERGENCY SERVICES.

THE TAX INFORMATION THERE.

CURRENTLY, THEY DO HAVE AG.

ONCE THESE LOTS ARE PULLED OUT OF AG, THEY WILL, YOU KNOW, HAVE TO, THEY, THEY'LL BE PULLED OUT FROM THE AG EXEMPTION.

I I JUST WANTED TO NOTE THAT THE PURPOSE, WE'VE RECENTLY CHANGED OUR 9 1 1 RULES THROUGH, UH, THE NORTH TEXAS COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS.

ANYTIME YOU PUT IN A ROADWAY, IT HAS TO BE PLATTED NOW TO GET STREET

[00:45:01]

SO NORMALLY IF THE LOTS WERE STAYING WITHIN THE CORPORATION AS THEY HAVE, WE WOULDN'T HAVE MADE THEM PLAT BECAUSE THEY DON'T ACTUALLY SELL THOSE LOTS.

BUT BECAUSE THEY ARE PUTTING IN FOUR TRACKS HERE, WE DID MAKE THEM PLA WE DID MAKE THEM GO THROUGH THE PLATTING PROCESS FOR PHASE ONE AND PHASE TWO IN ORDER TO GET THOSE ROADS PUT IN WITH THE STREET NAMES SO THAT THEY WOULD HAVE EMERGENCY ACCESS.

BECAUSE OTHERWISE IF THEY, IF THEY WEREN'T PUTTING THOSE ROADS IN, IT WOULDN'T BE A REQUIREMENT THAT THEY'D BE PLATTED.

CORRECT.

'CAUSE THEY'RE FAMILY MEMBERS, IS THAT CORRECT? YES.

IS THAT A PRIVATE ROAD? IT IS GONNA BE A PRIVATE ROAD, YES.

UH, AT THIS POINT I WOULD ASK, I'M GONNA OPEN THIS UP FOR PEOPLE TO COME UP AND AGAIN, I'M, I'M GONNA HOLD YOU TO THE TWO MINUTES.

UH, BE RESPECTFUL IN YOUR COMMENTS.

UM, UH, IS THERE ANYONE HERE THAT WOULD LIKE TO COME UP AND SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? STATE YOUR NAME, PLEASE COME ON IN.

SURE.

AND STATE YOUR NAME PLEASE.

UH, GOOD MORNING.

MY NAME IS MARY, MARY LYNN GERSTEN.

SCHLAGER.

THERE'S ONE PACKET FOR EACH OF YOU, JUDGE DEAN.

OH, HE WAS GONNA KEEP 'EM ALL.

AND YOU CAN FOLLOW ALONG WITH ME.

, DO YOU MIND JUST KEEPING THE MIC HERE? MS. MARY, DO YOU MIND SPEAKING INTO THE MIC? THEY'RE SAYING IT'S A LITTLE BIT HARD TO HEAR YOU.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I RESPECTFULLY ASK YOU WHO ARE ALSO CAPPERS TO PLEASE POSTPONE YOUR VOTES UNTIL GOVERNOR ABBOTT AND GENERAL PAXTON SORT OUT WHAT IS GOING ON WITH EPIC CITY.

MY NAME IS MARY LYNN GERSTEN SCHLAGER, AND I'VE LIVED IN PARKER COUNTY FOR ALMOST 42 YEARS.

I WANT TO PREFACE MY COMMENTS TODAY WITH THE FACT THAT MY CONCERN IS NOT WITH THE EMOTIONAL ASPECT OF ISLAM, SUCH AS ONE'S AFFABLE NEIGHBOR WHO IS A MUSLIM.

I'M LOOKING AT THIS THROUGH THE LENS OF POLITICAL ISLAM.

WHAT ISLAMIC LAW AND MUHAMMAD COMMAND MUSLIMS TO DO TO THE NON-BELIEVER KNOWN AS A CER.

I FIRST BECAME AWARE OF THE MUSLIMS UNITED PER PROGRESS BACK IN 2019.

NOTE MY HANDOUT OF A PARKER COUNTY PROPERTY VALUATION DOCUMENT I PRINTED IN 2019 WHEN THE MUSLIMS UNITED FOR PROGRESS ACTUALLY OWNED A TOTAL OF 56 ACRES OF LAND ON RUSSELL BEND ROAD.

AN ONLINE SEARCH OF THIS ORGANIZATION PROVIDES CONTRADICTORY INFORMATION SUCH AS BACK IN 2019.

BUZZ FILE READS, MUSLIMS UNITED FOR PROGRESS, WHICH ALSO OPERATES UNDER THE NAME WEATHERFORD ISLAMIC ASSOCIATION, PRIMARILY OPERATES IN THE URBAN PLANNING AND CONSULTING SERVICES BUSINESS, ESTIMATED TO GENERATE $135,153 AND EMPLOYS APPROXIMATELY THREE PEOPLE AT BP PEDIA.

THEY'RE LISTED AS THE TEXAS NONPROFIT CORPORATION FILED ON FEBRUARY 22ND, 1985.

UNDER BUSINESS CATEGORY.

IT READS, YOU WILL NOTE MOSQUES.

LET'S FAST FORWARD TO TODAY'S NEWS WHERE GOVERNOR GREG ABBOTT HAS CALLED FOR A CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION INTO THE EAST PLANO ISLAMIC CENTER, ALSO KNOWN AS EPIC CITY ATTORNEY GENERAL KEN PAXTON HAS EXPENDED, EXPANDED HIS INVESTIGATION INTO EPIC CITY.

I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY SO MANY TEXANS ARE UPSET TODAY.

LAST WEEK WE LEARNED ABOUT THE NEW ISLAMIC CENTER OF PARKER COUNTY TO PROVIDE A COMMUNITY FOR ALL PEOPLE IN ALITO AND BEYOND.

TOMORROW IS MUSLIM CAPITAL DAY IN AUSTIN, SPONSORED BY CARE, THE COUNCIL ON AMERICAN ISLAMIC RELATIONS, WHO WERE UNINDICTED CO-CONSPIRATORS IN THE 2008 HOLY LAND FOUNDATION TRIAL.

I TOO AM CONCERNED, WILL WE ONE DAY IN THE FUTURE HEAR THE MUSLIM CALL TO PRAYER FROM A MOSQUE ON RUSSELL BEND ROAD.

[00:50:02]

TERRORISM ALL OVER THE WORLD.

ANYBODY ELSE WOULD LIKE TO COME OUT? PLEASE AND LIMIT YOUR TIME TO TWO MINUTES PLEASE.

GOOD AFTERNOON, MR. NURSE JUDGE.

MY NAME IS, UH, JONATHAN STICKLAND.

I'M A FORMER STATE REPRESENTATIVE THAT SERVED THE STATE OF TEXAS FOR EIGHT YEARS.

MY DISTRICT, UM, INCLUDED ALL OF HEARST ULI BEDFORD, PARTS OF NORTH ARLINGTON AND GRAND PRAIRIE.

I'M THE ONLY MEMBER OF THE TEXAS LEGISLATURE TO EVER SERVE ON THE COUNTY AFFAIRS COMMITTEE.

FOR EIGHT YEARS IN OUR STATE, I DEALT WITH THE ISSUES THAT YOU GUYS ARE DEALING WITH TODAY.

PLAING, I WROTE AND AMENDED AND WORKED ON THIS PART OF THE GOVERNMENT CODE FOR A VERY LONG TIME.

I KNOW IT SPECIFICALLY TODAY, YOU GUYS HAVE TO MAKE A DECISION.

OUR COUNTY ATTORNEY, UM, GETS TO INTERPRET AND GIVE HIS OPINION, BUT YOU FOLKS ARE THE ONES THAT GET TO CAST A VOTE OF WHETHER YOU APPROVE THIS OR NOT.

I HAVE BEEN ASKED TO PROVIDE REASONS FOR YOU GUYS TO POSSIBLY BE ABLE TO TURN THIS DOWN.

IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE FOR US TO DO THAT WITHOUT THE INFORMATION THAT YOU HAVE, THAT WE DO NOT.

WHAT I DO KNOW IS THAT 2 32 GIVES YOU MANY DIFFERENT REASONS TO APPROVE OR DISAPPROVE.

IF YOU VOTE TO DISAPPROVE TODAY, THERE IS AN ENTIRE SECTION OF THAT CODE THAT THIS THING CAN BE APPEALED STRAIGHT TO THE DISTRICT COURT.

THAT IS BECAUSE SOMETIMES THEY DO GET DISAPPROVED FOR MANY DIFFERENT REASONS.

I WOULD ASK, HAVE THESE FOLKS SUBMITTED A DIGITAL MAP? IN WHAT FILE FORMAT? I DON'T KNOW ANY OF THIS STUFF, BUT THERE ARE MANY RESIDENTS WHO HAVE NOW BECOME AWARE OF THIS SITUATION AND RESOURCES THAT WOULD BE AVAILABLE FOR YOU TO STOP WHAT IS HAPPENING? I WANT TO BE VERY CLEAR.

NONE OF THE PEOPLE IN THIS ROOM HERE TODAY ARE HERE BECAUSE WE WANT TO BE.

WE ARE HERE BECAUSE A GROUP OF PEOPLE DECIDED FIRST IN 1985, BUT THEN AGAIN WHEN THEY APPLIED FOR AN APPLICATION FOR THIS PLAID TO MAKE THIS A POLITICAL ISSUE THAT WAS NOT DONE BY ANYBODY WHO IS OPPOSING THIS SUBDIVISION.

IT WAS A CONSCIOUS DECISION THAT THESE INDIVIDUALS MADE TO GO AND MAKE SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS TO GO AND SOLICIT FUNDS TO BUILD A MOSQUE TO CONTINUE WITH THE NAMES MUSLIMS UNITED FOR PROGRESS INCORPORATED.

THERE IS A TON OF REASONS TO BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A POLITICAL ISSUE THAT IS BEING FORCED IN FRONT OF THIS COURT.

AND THE PEOPLE OF PARKER COUNTY ARE ASKING YOU TO SAY NO, NOT BECAUSE OF WHERE THEY WANT TO WORSHIP OR ANYTHING ELSE, BUT BECAUSE OF WHAT WE WANT OUR COMMUNITY TO BE.

HEARST BEDFORD, I SPENT MY ENTIRE LIFE IN UNTIL 2020 WHERE WE PURCHASED A HOME OUT HERE IN PARKER COUNTY AND WILLOW PARK.

THE REASON WE DID THAT IS BECAUSE THAT AREA OF TEXAS HAS BEEN CHANGED FUNDAMENTALLY BY PEOPLE PUSHING AN AGENDA.

THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO DO NOT PLAY BY THE SAME RULES THAT WE DO.

THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO CIRCUMVENT OUR LAWS ALL THE TIME.

THESE ARE FOLKS WHO HAVE SET UP DIFFERENT COURT SYSTEMS. THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO HANDLE LEGAL MATTERS THEMSELVES OUTSIDE.

THEY SELL PROPERTY THROUGH PRIVATE TRANSACTIONS.

AND I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYONE'S INTENTIONS ARE GOING FORWARD.

WRAP IT UP A LITTLE BIT QUICKER, IF YOU WOULD PLEASE.

THESE FOLKS DON'T HAVE TO SELL OR DO WHAT THEY SAY THEY'RE GOING TO DO.

ONCE YOU START THIS SNOWBALL, IT WILL NOT STOP.

AND I KNOW THAT BECAUSE I LIVED IT.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

PLEASE VOTE NO.

ANY ANYBODY ELSE WOULD LIKE TO COME UP AND SPEAK.

PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND COME UP.

MY NAME IS SHELLY RUBENSTEIN AND I LIVE IN WILLOW PARK.

UM, MY QUESTION IS FOR YOU, UM, MR. HOLT, JUDGE HOLT, UM, YOU SAID, I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY NAMED THEMSELVES MUSLIMS UNITED FOR PROGRESS.

I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS.

ISLAM IS AN ALTERNATIVE EVIL SYSTEM THAT SUBJUGATES WOMEN AND CHILDREN THAT PROMOTES

[00:55:01]

AND WE HOPE AND PRAY THAT YOU WILL USE YOUR POSITION TO PROTECT OUR CHILDREN FROM A SYSTEM THAT DESTROYS IN THE NAME OF THEIR GOD.

MA'AM, YOU SAID YOU HAD A QUESTION.

I WANNA MAKE SURE I DIDN'T MI I DIDN'T MISS YOUR QUESTION.

SO MY QUESTION IS, HOW IS IT THAT YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT MUSLIMS UNITED FOR PROGRESS MEANS? I ASKED OUR COUNTY ATTORNEY BEFORE I MET WITH THEM BECAUSE I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT ENGAGING IN LANGUAGE THAT WOULD CREATE THE POTENTIAL FOR A DISCRIMINATORY LAWSUIT.

AND I WAS INSTRUCTED NOT TO ASK ANYTHING ABOUT RELIGIOUS REASONS BECAUSE OF THE CONCERN OF PARKER COUNTY TAXPAYERS THEN HAVING TO PAY FOR A DISCRIMINATORY LAWSUIT.

BECAUSE UNDER TEXAS LAW AND UNDER US LAW, YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO DISCRIMINATE BASED ON RELIGION.

SO IT'S A POLITICAL MOVEMENT AND IT HAS A POLITICAL AGENDA, AND THAT AGENDA IS EVIDENT EVERYWHERE.

THEY GET A FOOTHOLD.

THEY NAMED THEMSELVES MUSLIMS UNITED FOR PROGRESS.

WRAP IT UP, PLEASE MA'AM.

'CAUSE THAT'S WHO THEY ARE.

AND THEIR BOOK TELLS US EXACTLY WHERE THEY'RE GOING AND WHAT THEY WANNA DO TO OUR NATION.

OKAY, TO OUR CHILDREN, TIME'S UP.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

ANYBODY ELSE WOULD LIKE TO COME UP AND STATE PLEASE? YES.

STATE YOUR NAME.

MY NAME IS MIKE WALSH.

I'M A RETIRED US MARINE.

I'VE DEALT WITH IT.

MY QUESTION TO YOU, COMMISSIONER HOLT ISLAM IS NOT A RELIGION.

IT'S LESS A RELIGION THAN FANG GONE.

YOU READ THE HADIS LESS THAN 15% OF IT'S RELIGION.

IT'S A AGGRESSIVE POLITICAL SYSTEM.

ANY PLACE THEY'VE DONE THIS, WHETHER EUROPE, BRITAIN, INDIA, THEY TRY AND SUBJUGATE IT.

THEY HAVE A THING CALLED TAKIA.

YOU KNOW WHAT THAT IS? THAT MEANS THEY'RE OBLIGATED TO LIE TO THE NONBELIEVER AND TO DECEIVE US.

I SEE MY DUTY AND YOUR DUTY IF YOU BELIEVE IN PROTECTING THE CONSTITUTION, IS TO DENY IT AND FIGHT IT.

ONLY A FOOL WHO'S ACTUALLY STUDIED ISLAM WOULD CALL IT A RELIGION.

DO YOU HAVE AN ANSWER TO THAT, SIR? UH, I DIDN'T HEAR A QUESTION.

WHAT WAS YOUR QUESTION? THE FIRST QUESTION, DO YOU, HAVE YOU EVER READ THE HADIF? NO.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT TAKIA IS? NO.

NO, I DO NOT.

SO YOU'RE PROMOTING SOMETHING THAT ANY SCHOLAR, SIR, I'M GONNA STOP YOU THERE.

I'M NOT PROMOTING ANYTHING.

I'M A DEVOUT FOLLOWER OF JESUS CHRIST.

IF YOU'LL ALLOW ME, I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT YOU.

HOLD ON, HOLD ON.

HOLD ON ONE SECOND.

IF YOU'LL ALLOW ME AGAIN, I I PREFACE THIS WITH, PLEASE BE RESPECTFUL WITH YOUR COMMENTS.

UH, NOT ACCUSATIONAL WITH THE COMMISSIONER.

UH, I WOULD ASK THAT YOU, YOU HAVE ABOUT 30 MORE SECONDS PLEASE.

THE TERM TAKIA IS AN OBLIGATION TO ISLAM TO LIE AND DECEIVE NON-BELIEVERS IN ISLAM.

ANYONE WHO STUDIED ISLAM WILL TELL YOU IT IS NOT A RELIGION, IT'S A POLITICAL ENTITY.

MY QUESTION TO YOU IS, DO YOU REALIZE THAT WHEN YOU'RE CALLING THAT A RELIGION, OKAY, YOUR TIME IS UP.

THANK YOU, SIR.

WAIT, DID WE GET TO ANSWER QUESTION? YOU ANSWER HIS QUESTION.

DO I BELIEVE THAT ISLAM IS A RELIGION? YES.

I BELIEVE ISLAM IS A RELIGION.

ANYBODY ELSE? DO I BELIEVE IT'S THE TRUE RELIGION? NO, I DO NOT.

TO LIVE FREELY AND IT'S TIME TO STAND UP.

I'M GONNA, I'M GONNA HOLD FIRM TO THIS AGAIN.

IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO COME UP AND SPEAK? STATE YOUR NAME.

I'M MIKE KAGEL.

I LIVE HERE IN WEATHERFORD.

AND, UH, I KNOW YOU ARE ALL, ARE WELL-MEANING INDIVIDUALS.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT, UH, PERSONAL ATTACKS.

THIS IS ABOUT OUR WAY OF LIFE.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE.

GOD GAVE US THIS LAND.

THEY HAVE THEIR LAND AND THEY CAN DO WHATEVER THEY WANT WITH IT, BUT THEY'RE NOT GONNA DO ANYTHING WITH OUR LAND.

THIS IS OUR LAND.

GOD GIVES EACH ONE OF US THE RIGHT

[01:00:01]

OUR CHILDREN DESERVE BETTER.

YOUR PARENTS DIDN'T GIVE YOU WHAT WE'RE ABOUT TO GIVE OURS.

DO THE RIGHT THING.

GOD BLESS YOU.

ANYBODY ELSE WOULD COME UP AND SET YOUR NAME, PLEASE? HI, DEBORAH HENSLEY, PARKER COUNTY.

MUSLIMS UNITED IS AN ORGANIZATION THAT IS PART OF A GLOBAL PORT NETWORK.

IT HAS A POLITICAL ELEMENT AND A MILITARY ELEMENT.

I WOULD ASK THAT YOU GUYS CONSIDER, UH, WAITING FOR WHATEVER OUR LEADERS IN AUSTIN PAXTON AND THE GOVERNOR ARE DOING.

I DON'T AGREE WITH THE PAKISTANI DAY LAST WEEK THAT THEY DID DOWN THERE IN AUSTIN.

THERE'S A LOT GOING ON.

AND AS FOR ISLAM, IT IS AN IDEOLOGY, NOT A RELIGION.

SO, UH, I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF YOU GUYS WOULD KEEP THAT IN MIND.

THERE IS A GLOBAL PORT NETWORK TO DO WITH THIS ORGANIZATION.

AND EVEN WHEN I PURCHASED LAND, I GUESS I COULD HAVE GONE OUT AND GOT SOME KIND OF NONPROFIT, BLACK ORGANIZATION TO GO UNDERNEATH THAT.

BUT WHY WOULD I NEED A NONPROFIT WHEN I PURCHASED LAND? SO THAT'S A CONSIDERATION.

ANYBODY ELSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO COME UP AND SPEAK PLEASE? LAURA HEFFLEFINGER.

I WOULD JUST LIKE TO CONFIRM WHAT MARYANNE SAID.

I DID THE SAME RESEARCH AND I HAD THE SAME QUESTIONS.

UM, THERE ARE TWO NONPROFITS LISTED AT THESE ADDRESSES ON RUSSELL VAN ROAD, THE WEATHERFORD ISLAMIC ASSOCIATION, WHO THE KEY PRINCIPLE IS KHALIL ABDULLAH, AND THEN THE MUSLIMS UNITED FOR PROGRESS INC.

WHICH THEY'RE ALL INVOLVED IN.

IT'S A NONPROFIT.

MY QUESTION THAT Y'ALL NEED TO FIGURE OUT IS WHO, WHO IS FUNDING THIS NONPROFIT OR WHAT ARE THEY DOING, YOU KNOW, AS A OUTREACH TO BE A NONPROFIT? UM, I COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING.

UM, IT'S PROBABLY CASHED.

I DON'T KNOW.

BUT THERE ARE SITUATIONS IN OUR METROPLEX WHERE MONEY IS COMING FROM DEARBORN INTO THESE PROJECTS.

AND, UM, HE SAYS HERE, UM, THAT THEY OPERATE IN URBAN PLANNING AND CONSULTING SERVICES.

UM, MAYBE URBAN PLANNING OF EPIC CITY OR, UM, THE, UH, THE OTHER PLACES, UM, WHERE IT, YOU CAN JUST LOOK ON A MAP AND THEY'RE COMING WEST.

WHAT, WHAT PLANO ISS DEALING WITH, UM, IS COMING WEST.

UM, THE OTHER TOWN HERE, EXCUSE ME, MY, I CAN'T READ MY OWN WRITING.

AUBREY, AUBREY.

THAT IS IN TARRANT OR DENTON COUNTY.

THAT'S VERY CLOSE.

THEY HAVE A MOSQUE PLANNED THERE.

UM, THERE ARE, UH, SUBDIVISIONS IN IRVING WHERE THEY HAVE ISLAMIC NAMES.

NOBODY BUT ISLAMIC MUSLIM PEOPLE CAN LIVE THERE.

IT'S A CLOSED COMMUNITY.

RULE THE MUSLIM RELIGION, THEY TELL THEM WHAT THEY CAN AND CAN'T DO.

AND THEY'RE GONNA REACH A CRITICAL MASS AND Y'ALL ARE ALL GONNA BE REPLACED WITH MUSLIMS BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT THEY DO.

AND IF YOU THINK I'M LYING, WE HAVE TWO MUSLIM LEGISLATURES IN OUR TEXAS, TEXAS HOUSE.

YOU HAVE A MORE, A FEW MORE SECONDS MA'AM, PLEASE.

AND UM, SO MY CONCERN IS ABOUT WITH THE REST OF THEIR LAND, WHAT, WHAT THEIR PLANS ARE WITH THAT.

UM, ARE THEY GONNA BUILD A MOSQUE THAT WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO HEAR? I'VE BEEN TO MIDDLE EASTERN COUNTRIES.

YOUR TIME IS UP.

THANK YOU MA'AM.

ANYBODY ELSE WOULD LIKE TO COME UP AND SPEAK? IF IT'S ALRIGHT? MY NAME'S JODY MCCABE AND I LIVE HERE.

I JUST MOVED BACK TO TEXAS AND, UH, DID NOT EXPECT ALL THIS.

I'VE BEEN IN THE MIDDLE EAST TOO.

I THINK WHAT'S MISSING HERE IS THE UNDERSTANDING THERE IS ISLAM, THERE IS THE MUSLIM RELIGION.

THEY ARE TWO SEPARATE ENTITIES.

ISLAM IS THE POLITICAL PARTY OVER ALL OF THE ISLAMIC COUNTRIES LIKE IRAN.

THEY

[01:05:01]

THEY GAVE THEM THEIR GOD ALLAH.

SO YOU'RE DEALING WITH TWO ENTITIES.

YOU ARE NOT DEALING WITH A RELIGION.

YOU ARE DEALING WITH A POLITICAL TAKEOVER.

AND THERE ARE ABOUT 10, I THINK 10 IN THE AREA.

LEWISBURG IS ONE AT OPRY AND THERE ARE A FEW OTHERS.

AND, UM, I'M NOT SURE THAT EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS THAT, THAT THERE ARE TWO THINGS YOU'RE DEALING WITH.

AND YOU CAN HAVE A MOSQUE IN THE HOUSE.

SHE'S BEEN ONLINE LOOKING FOR THE HOLINESS OF HOW DO YOU BUILD A MOSQUE? BUT IT'S BEEN, I BELIEVE IN THE HOUSE, YOU CAN HAVE CHRISTIANS MEET IN THE HOUSE.

YOU KNOW, IT'S A NORMAL THING.

YOU CAN HAVE MUSLIMS MEET IN THE HOUSE.

THEY TEND TO, IN THE MIDDLE EAST, THE MOSQUE ARE USED FOR RADICAL ISLAMIC TRAINING.

SO AGAIN, YOU HAVE ISLAM, YOU HAVE THE RELIGION OF MUSLIM.

SO I THINK THAT NEEDS TO BE UNDERSTOOD FIRST.

YOU'RE NOT DEALING WITH JUST SOME VERY NICE MUSLIMS WHO LIVE ON THEIR LAND AND WANNA BUILD A HOUSE FOR THEIR SON.

YOU'RE DEALING WITH ISLAM, A POLITICAL ENTITY.

THEY ARE THE ONES WHO FUNDED THE LAND.

THEY ARE THE ONES WHO WILL FUND THE CONTINUATION.

AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT YOU NEED TO REALIZE AND THAT'S WHY YOU'RE BEING ASKED TO JUST WAIT AND SEE WHAT AUSTIN IS GOING TO DO, BECAUSE AUSTIN HAS BEEN NOTIFIED AND I KNOW THEIR CONCERN.

I DON'T THINK ANYBODY'S ASKED.

IS THERE ANYBODY FROM THE DEVELOPERS HERE OR NOBODY HERE FROM THE DEVELOPERS? YEAH, I WAS GONNA GET TO THAT.

IS THERE ANYONE HERE FROM THE, UM, THE LAND HIMSELF THAT OWNS THE LAND? I DON'T THINK THEY WERE COMING TODAY DUE TO CONCERNS OVER HOW TENSE THINGS WERE.

THAT BEING SAID, I THINK IT'S ALSO WORTH POINTING OUT THAT WE HAVE DEVELOPERS SHOW UP FOR PLATS LESS THAN 5% OF THE TIME, LESS THAN 2% OF THE TIME, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

SO, OKAY.

IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO COME UP AND SPEAK? BELIEVE IT'S YOUR TIME TO TWO MINUTES PLEASE.

UH, AND BE RESPECTFUL.

MY NAME IS KAY JORDAN, AND I JUST WANNA SAY SOMETHING REALLY SIMPLE.

YOU HAVE CITIZENS OF PARKER COUNTY THAT ARE REALLY CONCERNED, SO I HOPE YOU WILL TAKE YOUR TIME IN MAKING THE RIGHT DECISION FOR US.

I APPRECIATE IT.

SO I'VE GOT A COUPLE OF PROCEDURAL QUESTIONS.

UM, UH, JAMIE, THIS MAY FAULT YOU OR JOHNNY THE ONE, BUT CONCERNING THE, THE WELLS, DO WE HAVE APPROVAL FROM UPPER TRINITY? IS THERE A LETTER FROM THEM THERE? UH, YES SIR, WE DO.

AND THEY ARE TO ALLOW THEM TO DRILL A WELL ON EACH OF THESE TWO ACRE TRACKS.

UH, YES, THEY ARE, UM, SHARING A, WELL, THEY SAID THAT, UH, YOU KNOW, NO MORE THAN 14 CONNECTIONS FOR MORE THAN 25 PEOPLE, BUT BECAUSE THIS IS A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL LOTS, THEY DO QUALIFY.

SO THEY'RE GONNA BE SHARING A WELL, IS THAT CORRECT? SHE SAID, SAID, OKAY, I'M ONLY GONNA TOLERATE THIS ONE MORE TIME, SO I DON'T WANNA ASK, ASK PEOPLE TO LEAVE.

PLEASE, PLEASE BE RESPECTFUL.

GO AHEAD.

SO, SO THE, WHAT THEY'RE ASKING UPPER TRINITY FOR, THEY'RE, THEY'RE GETTING AN, UH, YOU HAVE A LETTER FROM HER TRINITY THAT CLEARS THEM IN THIS AREA? WE, WE DIDN'T, WE DIDN'T DO A WELL REPORT.

THERE'S NOT A NEW WELL BEING DRILLED.

ONE WELL, IS SHARING WATER FOR THESE HOMES.

I GOT IT.

OKAY, SO NO NEW WELL, IS BEING DRILLED.

IS THAT CORRECT? UPPER TRINITY HAS NO MORE WELLS.

UPPER TRINITY RULES STATE THAT NO MORE THAN 14 LOTS CAN SHARE MORE THAN TWO WATER WELLS.

WE DO HAVE APPROVAL FROM THE UPPER TRINITY FOR THIS SUBDIVISION.

AND THAT'S A NORMAL, THAT WOULD BE A NORMAL LETTER THAT YOU'D GET FOR ANYBODY THAT'S BUILDING A COUPLE HOUSES, IS THAT CORRECT? YES, SIR.

ALRIGHT.

MY NEXT QUESTION IS, I, I, I QUESTION WHY AS, AS A NONPROFIT, I'M NOT SEEING A RESIDENCE ON THEIR PROPERTY ON, WHEN I LOOK AT THE, THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT, I DON'T KNOW WHY.

IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE RUNNING THAT SAME THING? I SAID YOU, YOU'D CONTACTED, UH, THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT REGARDING THIS BECAUSE I, I'M WONDERING IF I PAY TAXES IS WHAT MY QUESTION IS ON PROPERTY.

SO I'VE LOOKED ON THAT APPRAISAL DISTRICT SITE.

I HAVE SOME CONCERNS THAT I WANT THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT TO CLEAR UP, GIVEN THAT ALL OF THIS CAME UP ON FRIDAY, RIGHT? I HAVEN'T MET WITH THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT SET.

SAME THING.

OWNS CERTAIN TRACKS OF LAND AND THEN THE MEMBERS OF MUSLIMS UNITED, THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF ADJACENT LAND THAT IS OWNED BY THEM.

IT APPEARS THAT IF YOU LOOK ON MAPS LIKE ONYX THAT SHOW OWNERSHIP, IT APPEARS THAT MUSLIMS UNITED

[01:10:01]

THAT APPEARS TO BE THE RESIDENTIAL.

IT APPEARS THAT THE LAND THAT IS OWNED DIRECTLY BY MUSLIMS UNITED HAS AGRICULTURAL EXEMPTIONS RIGHT NOW.

OKAY? THIS LAND WAS PURCHASED BACK IN 1985, AND SO IT'S ALL STAYED AS A WHOLE.

SO I KNOW THAT THEY DID HAVE AN AG EXEMPTION ON THE PORTIONS OF THE LAND, BUT BECAUSE THEY ARE PUTTING IN THE ROADWAY AND TO GET ACCESS TO THESE LOTS, WE MADE THEM GO THROUGH PLATING.

SO AFTER THIS, THEY SHOULD BE SUBJECTED TO EVERY OTHER DEVELOPER WHERE YOU HAVE TO GO IN AND PAY YOUR ROLLBACKS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

ONCE IT'S PLOTTED OUT, THAT'LL BE SOMETHING THAT THEY'RE GONNA HAVE TO ABIDE BY OUR RULES.

THEY DO HAVE A TAX CERTIFICATE RIGHT NOW, UM, SHOWING A ZERO BALANCE, UM, FOR THE PORSCHE, THE TWO ACRES THAT THEY, OR THE FOUR ACRES THAT THEY ARE PLATTING RIGHT NOW.

SO LET ME UNDERSTAND SOMETHING HERE WITH AG EXEMPTION DOESN'T MEAN ZERO TAXES.

SO THERE ARE TAXES BEING PAID.

IT'S ABOUT $50, YEAH, $50 ANNUALLY, I CAN TELL YOU ANNUALLY ON THIS ENTIRE TRACK.

AND THAT, THAT WAS MY QUESTION IS WHAT KIND OF AGRICULTURE'S THERE? WHEN YOU SAY TRACK COMMISSIONER, HOW MANY ACRES ARE WE TALKING ABOUT? WHAT DO YOU AROUND 40 ACRES.

44 OH ACRES.

FOUR ZERO.

THEY HAVE 40 DO, UH, 40 ACRES AND THEY'VE PAID ABOUT 240, $250.

SO FOR THE TAXES.

SO ON THE REMAINDER OF THIS PROPERTY, THAT'S IN UP FOR DISCUSSION TODAY, THERE ARE NO OTHER SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCES OR, OR IMPROVEMENTS OF ANY KIND.

IMPROVEMENTS, YEAH.

THERE'S NO MORE IMPROVEMENTS? NOT AT THIS TIME, NO.

SO THESE, THESE, THAT, THAT'S MY QUESTION.

I I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THAT.

THAT'S WHY I WANTED TO TALK TO THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT ABOUT, I I HAVE QUESTION.

APPARENTLY THE, APPARENTLY THE OWNERS LIVE ON ELSEWHERE, SOMEWHERE ELSE OR NOT ON THIS TRACK.

ADJACENT, ADJACENT PROBLEM IS MY UNDERSTANDING.

SEVERAL YEARS AGO, AND I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT DATE, THEY DID BREAK OFF LIKE A FOUR ACRE TRACK TO SELL IT TO SOMEBODY OUT OF THE ORIGINAL, YOU KNOW, 50 SOME ODD ACRES.

UH, THAT WAS PROBABLY, I DON'T KNOW, EIGHT, 10 YEARS AGO.

SO I THINK IF YOU'RE SEEING DIFFERENT, BUT THOSE LOTS ARE IN, YOU KNOW, THAT, THAT HOMEOWNER'S NAME NOW.

THANK YOU, JAMIE.

TO, WITH A ROOM FULL OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE A VERY CONSISTENT MESSAGE TO US? AND SO I'M NOT TRYING TO CIRCUMVENT THAT.

HOW DO WE, HOW DO WE FIND OUT WHAT KIND OF AGRICULTURE? DO THEY HAVE COWS, THEY HAVE HORSES? WHAT DO THEY HAVE? WELL, I, I SUPPOSE THAT WOULD BE A QUESTION TO ASK THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT.

UH, ONE OF MY PET PEEVES IS LAND THAT'S IN AG VALUE THAT'S NOT ACTUALLY RIGHT IN AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION.

AND THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU HAVE A, A, A CASTRATED MALE HORSE THERE.

THAT MEANS THAT THERE MUST BE PRODUCTION, AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION ON THAT PROPERTY.

AND SO THAT'S MY QUESTION.

UH, DOES, AND MY QUESTION BACK FOR, FOR, UH, UH, OUR ATTORNEY IS, UH HMM.

ARE WE ABLE TO, TO WAIT LONG ENOUGH TO CONFIRM SOME OF THESE THINGS? I MEAN, WOULD IT BE APPROPRIATE FOR US TO TAKE NO ACTION, FOR EXAMPLE, AND, UH, UNTIL WE HAVE SOME OF THESE ANSWERS, UH, REGARDING, UH, WHETHER THERE IS TAXES BEING PAID, WHETHER THERE IS ACTUALLY AGRICULTURE PRODUCTION? I MEAN, IS THAT SOMETHING THAT'S WITHIN OUR SCOPE TODAY? WE CAN DO THAT, THAT'D BE, UH, CONTINGENT UPON COURTS TO DETERMINE IF THAT'S AN APPROPRIATE REASON, BUT ABSOLUTELY COULD, LET ME, LET ME TAKE, IF I MAY, LET ME, LET ME TAKE IT A STEP FURTHER, THAT THERE'S SUFFICIENT TESTIMONY, UH, UM, FOR LACK OF A BETTER WORD, THAT, UM, THERE'S AN AG EXEMPTION IN PLACE, BUT WITH MINIMAL OR ZERO, VIRTUALLY ZERO TAXES.

I JUST WANNA POINT OUT TOO, AND AGAIN, WE HAVE MINISTER RESPONSIBILITY.

I UNDERSTAND THAT COMMISSIONER, UH, HOLT HAS MADE IT VERY CLEAR, UH, OUR ATTORNEYS HAS MADE IT VERY CLEAR THAT WE HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY IN, UH, SUBJECT TO POTENTIAL LAWSUITS AND ALL THAT.

I GET IT.

BUT WE, I JUST WANNA POINT OUT THAT SOMETHING'S EXTREMELY IMPORTANT HERE, IS WE HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY ALSO TO THE CONCERNS OF THE CONSTITUENTS THAT WE REPRESENT, THAT PUT US IN THESE CHAIRS.

WE DON'T OWN THESE CHAIRS.

WE HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO HEAR YOU.

I MAY LIMIT YOU TO TWO MINUTES, BUT BELIEVE ME, I LISTEN EVERY WORD YOU SAY, AND I APOLOGIZE.

WE'RE HAVING TO LIMIT YOU LIKE THAT.

BUT IT'S IMPORTANT BECAUSE WE'D BE HERE ALL DAY, PROBABLY.

BUT I THINK WE HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO LISTEN TO THE CONCERNS OF OUR CONSTITUENTS WHO PUT US IN THESE CHAIRS, UH, TO, UH, WHATEVER THAT RESULTS IN.

I THINK WE NEED TO TABLE THIS AND TAKE AND INVESTIGATE THIS, TALK TO THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT AND LOOK INTO THIS DEEPER BEFORE THERE'S A DECISION MADE.

THERE'S JUST TOO MANY UNANSWERED QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS THAT WE KEEP GOING BACK TO WHAT WE NEED TO CONSULT WITH THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT.

WE NEED TO DO THIS OR THAT.

UH, ARE WE REALLY IN A POSITION

[01:15:01]

I KNOW WE HAVE A MINISTER RESPONSIBILITY ONCE THAT THEY'VE MET THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS.

I UNDERSTAND THAT, AND THIS ISN'T A POLITICAL STATEMENT, BUT, BUT FROM A BUSINESS STANDPOINT, UM, COUNSELOR THAT WE HAVE, I THINK, EXCUSE ME, I THINK WE HAVE A SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE THAT WE, WE SHOULD EXPLORE THIS A LITTLE BIT DEEPER BEFORE WE MAKE A DECISION ON THIS.

AND AGAIN, THAT RESPONSIBILITY TO OUR CONSTITUENTS, I TAKE VERY SERIOUSLY, ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE'S A ROOM FULL OF PEOPLE WITH CONSISTENTLY THE SAME MESSAGE PERIOD.

SO JUDGE, I'D LIKE TO SAY THAT WE SHOULD MAYBE PUSH THIS TO NEXT MONDAY TO GIVE OURSELVES A WEEK TO DIVE INTO SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE, WE'VE, WE GOT SOME WORK TO DO ON THAT.

COMMISSIONER.

MY, I DO WANT TO SAY THAT I AM CONCERNED THAT BASED ON STATE LAW, US PUSHING IT COULD SET US UP FOR THIS BEING AUTOMATICALLY APPROVED.

HOWEVER, DUE, DUE TO THAT RUNNING CLOCK.

HOWEVER, UM, THE RESIDENTS WHO ARE HERE ARE TAX PAYING RESIDENTS AND THE RESIDENTS WHO ARE HERE HAVE MADE THEIR VOICE WELL HEARD.

AND SO I DO THINK WE HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO ALSO LISTEN TO THAT AND INVESTIGATE THESE CLAIMS AND GIVE OURSELVES THE TIME TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE MOVING FORWARD IN THE MOST WISE AND ETHICAL WAY.

NOW, MY QUESTION FOR THE ATTORNEY IS, IF WE PUSH THIS, SAY TO NEXT MONDAY OR WHATEVER THE DAY THE COURT DECIDES, WHAT FROM A LEGAL PERSPECTIVE DOES THAT DO FOR US? WELL, IT KIND OF DEPENDS.

IF WE HAVE A LEGAL REASON TO DENY IT, THEN OBVIOUSLY, UH, AT THAT POINT THEN WE COULD PRESENT THAT INFORMATION TO THAT INDIVIDUAL.

HAVE THEM THEN COME BACK AND EITHER CORRECT THAT, OR IF THEY'RE ABLE TO, OR IF THEY'RE NOT, THEN THAT WOULD STAND IF, UH, SO JUST GONNA KIND OF DEPEND.

IT SOUNDS LIKE THAT'S THE DIRECTION YOU'RE WANTING TO HEAD.

SO THAT'S THE CHOICE OF THE COURT.

I BELIEVE I STATED THAT.

I THINK THE, THE, THE THING WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL OF, AND SO EVERYBODY IN HERE IS, IS REALLY CLEAR.

UH, THERE'S NOT A ONE OF US IN HERE THAT WANTS THE GOVERNMENT TELLING US WHAT WE CAN DO ON OUR OWN PROPERTY.

UH, WE ALL STAND FOR PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS.

AND THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE ARE PROUD OF IN PARKER COUNTY AND IN TEXAS.

AND I CERTAINLY DON'T WANT PEOPLE TELLING ME WHAT I CAN DO ON MY PROPERTY.

I GET IRRITATED WHEN, WHEN MY NEIGHBORS COMPLAIN ABOUT SOME AGRICULTURAL PRACTICE I'M DOING ON MY LAND.

YOU ALL DO TOO.

UH, HOWEVER, THIS, THIS, UH, THIS GIVES US THE OPPORTUNITY HERE TO, TO FIND OUT MORE INFORMATION AND, AND HELP, UH, HELP THE COURT MAKE A BETTER DECISION.

IT ALSO, UH, GIVES US THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE FOLKS FROM, UH, YOU KNOW, SOME HIGHER GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY IN TEXAS TO HELP US ALONG THE WAY TOO.

AND WITH ALL THAT SAID, UH, I'M GONNA MOVE THAT WE, UH, EITHER TAKE NO ACTION, WHICH I'M GONNA SAY TAKE NO ACTION ON THIS ITEM TODAY.

AND THAT'S A MOTION.

AND, UH, THEN WE BRING THAT BACK AT A FUTURE COURT TO BE DETERMINED LATER ON BASED ON WHAT OUR INFORMATION AND FINDINGS ARE.

OKAY, I'M NOT GONNA GIVE IT A TIMELINE, COMMISSIONER.

I'M GONNA SAY THAT WE BRING IT BACK FOR FURTHER DISCUSSION AT A FUTURE COURT, WHICH WE WILL DETERMINE BASED ON SOME OF THE, THE ANSWERS WE GET TO THE QUESTIONS.

IS THAT, DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? IT DOES.

SO THAT'S WHAT MY MOTION IS.

WITH JOHN AND WITH JACOB, UM, OVER THE WEEKEND ON, ON WHAT, WHAT ALL WAS ENTAILED FOR THE COURT AND WHAT Y'ALL WERE DEALING WITH.

WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

AND, AND IN THE DISCUSSION PHASE, AND AGAIN, I WANNA BE VERY CLEAR WITH THIS, THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH A CULTURAL, RELIGIOUS, ANY OTHER, ANY OTHER ISSUE, BUT SPECIFIC TO CLARIFYING WHAT THE, THE TAXES, THE AG EXEMPT AND UNDERSTANDING WHAT WE'RE INVOLVED WITH HERE, BECAUSE THE CONSISTENCY OF EVERYBODY THAT'S COME UP HERE IS CONCERNED ABOUT, BUT, BUT THE, BUT THE SIDE OF THIS IS, IS THAT WE'RE, YOU'RE ALL TAX PAYING CITIZENS, RIGHT? RIGHT.

AND SO WE OWE AN OBLIGATION TO ARE YOU BETTER, YOU, BETTER YOU BETTER BE, UM, THAT WE HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO THAT, THAT IS SPECIFIC TO THE REASON THAT I'M LOOKING AT THAT WE GET MORE INFORMATION SPECIFIC TO WHAT COMMISSIONER WALDEN HAS SAID.

UH, I HAVE SECONDED THAT MOTION WITH COMMISSIONER WALDEN'S MOTION.

UH, IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS SIDE? WELL, FIRST OF ALL, BEFORE I DO THAT, I BET YOU THERE'S A LOT MORE OF YOU THAT WOULD LIKE TO COME UP AND SPEAK.

AND BRADY, I I THINK YOU'RE PROBABLY ONE OF 'EM LINKING YOUR CHOPS.

WOULD YOU LIKE THAT OPPORTUNITY BEFORE I WE'RE IN THE DISCUSSION PHASE RIGHT NOW? WOULD YOU LIKE TO COME UP AND SAY ANYTHING? I'LL JUST SAY I WA I WASN'T REALLY PLANNING TO SPEAK.

I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD A LOT OF GOOD THINGS TO SAY, AND I UNDERSTAND OBVIOUSLY HAD A GOOD CONVERSATION WITH YOU,

[01:20:01]

AND I THINK WE OBVIOUSLY DO HAVE A VERY DIFFICULT SITUATION HERE AS EVERYBODY RECOGNIZES AND AS WE'VE SEEN TODAY, UM, Y'ALL ARE IN A TOUGH POSITION AND, AND I THINK THAT, UM, THAT WAS CAUSED BY SOME FOLKS WHO CHOSE TO, TO, TO USE AN INFLAMMATORY NAME.

NOW, WHETHER THEY DID THAT IN 1985 AND, AND IT WAS NO BIG DEAL BACK THEN OR NOT TODAY, IT DOES MEAN A LOT IN WHAT WE'VE SEEN ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND WHAT WE'VE SEEN RIGHT HERE IN OUR OWN COMMUNITY.

YOU CAN CALL BETH VANDYNE AND ASK HER WHAT SHE DEALT WITH FOR YEARS IN IRVING.

AND IRVING IS STILL DEALING WITH, I WORKED FOR FIVE YEARS FULL-TIME IN IRVING AND I'VE SEEN IT FIRSTHAND.

WHAT, WHAT'S DONE TO THAT COMMUNITY, WHAT'S DONE TO HEB AREA NOW, WHAT'S HAPPENING IN PLANO AND WHAT THE GOVERNOR'S SPOKEN OUT ABOUT.

SO, UM, I THINK AS, AS IT'S BEEN SAID, THERE'S WELL-FOUNDED CONCERN ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON HERE.

UM, AND I DON'T KNOW PROCEDURALLY WHAT WE DO THERE.

I THINK YOU GUYS ARE IN A REALLY, REALLY TIGHT SPOT THERE.

BUT I DO THINK IT'S WORTH, UM, KIND OF FOLLOWING WHAT, WHAT COMMISSIONER WALDEN SAID AND TAKING SOME TIME TO INVESTIGATE AND LET'S FIGURE OUT WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THIS COMMUNITY.

'CAUSE UM, I THINK IT'S WORTH IT TO THE CITIZENS HERE.

THANK YOU, SIR.

AND WITH THE INDULGENCE OF THE COMMUNITY, UH, I, I SEE HANDS COMING UP AND, AND, AND I BET IF I ASK FOR A CONSENSUS OF WHO ELSE WOULD LIKE TO COME UP AND SPEAK, UH, WE DO HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND ON THIS TO TRY TO WORK THROUGH THIS.

AND I THINK THAT Y'ALL WOULD APPRECIATE THAT.

AND I WOULD ASK THAT YOU, UH, BE PATIENT WITH US WHILE WE WORK THROUGH SOME OF THESE ISSUES.

UM, AND AT THAT POINT, UM, WE'RE AGAIN, COMMISSIONERS, DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER COMMENT BEFORE I GO TO VOTE? I DO HAVE ONE COMMENT AGAIN, SHOCKER TO THE COMMISSIONERS, UM, I'M IN AGREEMENT THAT IT'S, IT'S WISE TO TAKE SOME TIME, DOUBLE CHECK THE FACTS, MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE ALL THE RELEVANT INFORMATION.

UH, I'VE HEARD THE CROWD LOUD AND CLEAR AT THE SAME TIME, I'VE ALSO HEARD THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN MY PRECINCT KNOW THESE PEOPLE HAVE WORKED WITH, THESE PEOPLE HAVE GONE TO SCHOOL WITH THESE PEOPLE.

AND SO WHAT I WOULD ENCOURAGE THE COURT IS, WHILE I DO THINK WE SHOULD TAKE SOME TIME, WE NEED TO BE VERY MINDFUL THAT IF WE TAKE TOO MUCH TIME, AS THE COUNTY ATTORNEY HAS REFERRED TO, THIS DECISION IS AUTOMATICALLY MADE FOR US PER STATE LAW.

A LOT OF THIS IS GOVERNED BY THE FACT THAT COUNTIES HAVE VERY LITTLE AUTHORITY UNDER STATE LAW TO REGULATE SUBDIVISION.

SO WE NEED TO EXPEDITE THIS TO THE HIGHEST DEGREE WE CAN TO MAKE SURE THAT, THAT THIS DECISION IS NOT MADE FOR US.

LET ME ADD TO THAT JUST TO MAKE SURE YOU, JUST FOR YOUR ASSURANCE OF THIS COMMISSIONER TO YOUR POINTS, UH, MY OFFICE WILL COMMIT EVERY SINGLE RESOURCE POSSIBLE TO WORK WITH YOU, UH, THE COMMISSIONERS, UH, TO ENSURE THAT WE'RE PREPARED AND READY TO MOVE FORWARD IN COORDINATION WITH THE, UM, COUNTY, COUNTY ATTORNEY TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DO.

AND WE, I THINK WE HAVE A VALID REASON TO DO THIS, I THINK, WHICH WILL, UH, PREVENT ANY ISSUE FROM THAT JUST AUTOMATICALLY BEING LAW.

BUT I THINK WE HAVE A SOUND REASON WHY AND JUSTIFY THAT WE CAN DO THAT.

AND WE WILL MOVE QUICKLY AND DEDICATE MY OFFICE TO MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE READY FOR THIS AND, AND GETTING THIS SCHEDULED QUICKLY.

JUDGE, CAN I MAKE A PROCEDURAL COMMENT? MAKE IT VERY QUICK.

YOU'VE ALREADY SPOKE, SIR.

I'M VERY CONCERNED ON MOVING IT BECAUSE TODAY IS THE 30TH DAY AS WELL TO THIS COMMISSIONER.

I THINK THAT IT WOULD BE VERY IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO GO AND ASK THEM FOR SOME KIND OF CHANGE TO THE PAPERWORK TO RESET IT.

UM, IF IT IS LACKING INFORMATION SUCH AS WE HAVE MULTIPLE DIFFERENT ENTITIES INVOLVED, WE DON'T KNOW WHO IS APPLYING FOR WHAT WOULD BE A GOOD THING TO REQUEST FROM THEM.

BUT IF YOU DO NOT ASK THEM TO MAKE AN AMENDMENT TO THE APPLICATION, I'M WORRIED THAT NON-ACTION TODAY IS GOING TO AUTOMATICALLY APPROVE IT AND IT WILL BE OUT OF YOUR HANDS.

ONE COMMENT TO THAT, ONE COMMENT TO THAT.

IF THAT WERE TO BE THE CASE, UH, THERE'S ALWAYS THE OPPORTUNITY FOR LEGAL ACTION FOLLOWING TO UNDO THAT, THAT, SO CORRECT.

BUT MOST OF THAT WOULD BE, WOULD GO STRAIGHT TO THE DISTRICT COURT EXACTLY.

THIS COURT THAT'S CORRECT.

AND RIGHT NOW WE WANT IT IN THIS COURT.

WELL, BUT THOSE ARE, THOSE ARE OTHER OPPORTUNITIES TO BE EXPLORED DOWN THE WAY.

SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR FEEDBACK, SIR.

ORDER PLEASE.

UM, AGAIN, I'M SURE THERE'S A LOT MORE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK.

PLEASE ALLOW US TO TRY TO DO OUR JOBS AND DO THE VERY BEST WE CAN.

I SURE WE HEARD, WE HEARD EVERYTHING.

EVERY ONE OF YOU HAVE SAID, UM, AND I APPRECIATE THAT.

I, I APPRECIATE, UM, TRYING TO BE RESPECTFUL OF THE SITUATION AND UNDERSTAND THE SITUATION WE'RE IN.

UH, WITH THAT, UH, I'M GONNA MOVE TO A VOTE UNLESS THERE'S A FINAL COMMENT BY THE COMMISSIONERS SPECIFICALLY.

I HAVE ONE QUESTION.

YOU HAD MENTIONED A DIGITAL MAP EARLIER, SOME TECHNICAL NUANCES.

COULD YOU EXPAND ON THAT? SO THERE'S A WHOLE PROCESS IN WHICH THERE'S A WHOLE PROCESS IN WHICH YOU GUYS HAVE TO GO THROUGH FOR APPROVAL, DISAPPROVAL, OR TO GO REQUEST MORE INFORMATION.

AND THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT PARAMETERS.

YOU GUYS ARE IN CHARGE OF WHAT YOU CAN REQUEST FROM THE APPLICANT, OKAY? YOU GUYS SEND THAT TO THEM AND THEN

[01:25:01]

YOU ASK FOR IT.

AND THERE ARE A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT THINGS YOU COULD ASK FOR.

RIGHT NOW, WE ARE NOT PRIVY TO ALL THE INFORMATION THAT HAS BEEN ASKED FOR AND REQUIRED.

SO IT'S HARD FOR US TO GIVE YOU A LEGAL REASON TO DISAPPROVE.

BUT I WILL TELL YOU THIS, IT IS MY, IT IS MY INTERPRETATION OF THE LAW AS SOMEONE WHO HELPED WRITE IT, THAT YOU GUYS HAVE THE ABILITY TO DISAPPROVE ANYTHING THAT YOU WANT EXCEPT FOR SPECIFIC REASONS.

AND WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT WHAT, WHAT, WHAT, UH, THEY WANT TO NAME IT.

WE'RE NOT EVEN TALKING ABOUT ISLAM OR MUSLIM OR ANYTHING ELSE YOU GUYS HAVE BEFORE YOU TO APPROVE A PLAT FOR A SUBDIVISION.

AND A LOT OF US FEEL LIKE THERE IS A LACK OF INFORMATION OF WHAT THEY INTEND TO DO WITH IT.

THIS IS PHASE TWO.

WHAT IS PHASE THREE? ARE THEY GOING TO SELL IT? WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO? IF YOU PLA THIS, THEN YOU ARE OPENING IT UP AND SETTING A STANDARD AND WE DON'T KNOW.

AND THEY ARE NOT OBLIGATED.

THEY CAN TELL YOU WHOEVER THEY WANT, WHETHER IT'S A VETERAN MILITARY, ANYTHING ELSE.

SO I THINK FOR, FROM THE PUBLIC STANDPOINT IS WE DON'T, DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO THIS ENTIRE THING OVER HERE.

THERE ARE A LOT OF REASONS FOR IT TO DISAPPROVE, BUT YOU GUYS HAVE THE LEGAL ABILITY TO EVEN SAY, WE DON'T WANT TO APPROVE IT.

YOU COULD HAVE APPOINTED, ACCORDING TO 2 32, SOMEONE TO HANDLE ALL THE PLATTING, BUT RIGHTFULLY, YOU GUYS HAVE RETAINED THE POWER TO APPROVE AND DISAPPROVE.

AND THAT IS A GOOD THING.

WE WANT YOU TO DO IT.

AND WHAT WE WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO DO IS DISAPPROVE IT TODAY.

AND, AND IN DOING SO, IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY TRIGGER THEIR ABILITY, THEIR LEGAL ABILITY WILL GO STRAIGHT TO THE DISTRICT COURT AND THEY WILL GO THROUGH THAT PROCESS.

BUT WHAT WE'RE ASKING YOU TO DO TODAY IS BE OUR FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE.

WE ELECTED EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU ON THE PLATFORMS THAT YOU RAN ON, AND WE WANTED YOU TO DEFEND OUR WAY OF LIFE IN PARKER COUNTY.

AND I BELIEVE THAT REPRESENTATION OF YOUR VOTERS IS TO VOTE NO TODAY AND LET THEM CONTINUE TO GO DOWN THE LEGAL PROCESS AND LET THE DISTRICT COURT START TO DEAL WITH IT.

AND THEN THOSE OF US WHO HAVE CONCERNS WILL HAVE MORE INFORMATION AND WE WILL BE ABLE TO ADDRESS IT AT THAT LEVEL LEGALLY.

THANK YOU, SIR.

JOHN AND JAMIE, AT THIS POINT ON OUR CHECKLIST, DID THEY GO THROUGH EVERYTHING AND PROVIDE EVERYTHING THAT WAS REQUIRED? YES, THEY HAVE PROVIDED EVERYTHING THAT THE COUNTY REQUIRES.

OKAY, THANK FOR THIS TO FINAL APPROVAL.

AND I, I DO HAVE ONE COMMENT.

ANY ADDITIONAL PHASES HAS TO GO THROUGH THE SAME PROCESS.

SO IF THIS IS JUST FOR RESIDENTIAL AND LATER THEY WANNA DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT ON THE PROPERTY THAT HAS TO COME BACK THROUGH COURT, THEY DON'T JUST AUTOMATICALLY GET IT BECAUSE THIS WAS OR WASN'T APPROVED.

SO FURTHER STEPS, IT, YOU KNOW, THERE'S ADDITIONAL PROPERTY OUT THERE IS GONNA REQUIRE THIS PROCESS EVERY SINGLE TIME THEY COME BACK THROUGH AND PLAT, THANK YOU COMM.

THANK YOU COUNSELOR.

OKAY, WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON ITEM? COUPLE OF THINGS.

UM, THE QUESTION THAT I HAVE IS, ARE THESE THESE RESIDENCES? WHAT'S THEIR STATUS GONNA BE TAX WISE? AND SO THAT'S THE QUESTION THAT I HAVE.

AND IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT WE CAN'T UH, UH, GET THAT INFORMATION AND EVEN IN TODAY'S COURT COME BACK TO THIS ITEM.

BUT FOR RIGHT NOW, WE'RE TAKING NO ACTION ON IT.

THAT DOESN'T MEAN THIS, THIS AGENDA ITEM CAN'T BE BROUGHT UP WHEN ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IS SECURED THIS DAY.

IT, IT WILL BE, YES.

SO YOU SEE WHAT I'M SAYING? WE ARE, WE'RE THE BEGINNING OF OUR COURT SESSION.

WE'RE GONNA BE HERE FOR A WHILE.

SO, UM, UM, MY MOTION STANDS AS IT IS FOR NOW.

IT'S MY SECOND.

THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT WE CAN'T BRING THAT BACK IN TODAY'S COURT.

OKAY? OKAY.

OTHER DISCUSSION.

GET SOME MORE INFORMATION.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, MOTION IN CURIOUS.

THANK YOU ALL ME.

IF THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE HERE THAT FROM THE PREVIOUS AGENDA ITEM, UH, IF YOU, YOU CAN STAY, BUT WE NEED ORDER IN THE COURT PLEASE.

WE HAVE BUSINESS TO DO HERE.

UH, LINDSEY, YOU HAVE THE FLOOR AND I THANK YOU FOR BEING PATIENT WITH ME.

NO WORRIES.

THANK YOU SIR.

70 ON DISCUSS, APPROVE THE BUDGETARY ADVISORY COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION TO PUBLISH THE PUBLIC NOTICE FOR THE 2026 BUDGET CYCLE ON BOTH THE WEATHER FOR DEMOCRAT AND THE COMMUNITY NEWS, WHICH WILL INCREASE THE BUDGET BY A THOUSAND DOLLARS, A THOUSAND DOLLARS, 20, A THOUSAND, $25.

SORRY TO MAKE YOU WAIT.

THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

NO PROBLEM AT ALL.

OKAY, WE'LL MOVE DOWN.

DO ITEM SEVEN E DISCUSS, CONSIDER RECOMMENDATIONS FOR UP TO TWO SEVEN D WILL BE THE NEXT ONE.

JUDGE, I KNEW THAT I WAS JUST TESTING YOU AND SEEING TO YOUR PAID ATTENTION.

MOVE TO ITEM

[7.D. Discuss/Approve the Budget Advisory Committee recommendation to publish the three Public Notices for the 2026 Budget cycle in both the Weatherford Democrat and The Community News which will increase the budget by $ 1,025.00. (Shirley Mitchell / Judge Deen)]

AND I CAN'T READ MY WRITING SHIRLEY, IF YOU WOULD GO OVER THAT.

SAY GOODBYE, COMMISSIONER CONING.

GOOD MORNING.

APPRECIATE THE TIME.

UM, SO THE, UH, THE BUDGET ADVISORY COMMITTEE IS RECOMMENDING THAT WE ADD A SECOND PUBLICATION TO THE BUDGET PROCESS.

IT WOULD NOT REPLACE THE ADS THAT WE PUT IN OR THE POSTINGS OR THE NOTIFICATIONS THAT WE PUT IN THE WEATHER FOR DEMOCRAT.

IT WOULD BE ADDING THE COMMUNITY NEWS.

THE ONLY CAVEAT TO THAT IS THAT THE, UM, COMMUNITY NEWS ONLY PUBLISHES ONCE A WEEK.

SO AS LONG AS WE CAN MEET THE STATUTE DATES, WE WOULD LIKE TO PUBLISH IN THAT, UH, PUBLICATION AS WELL.

BUT IF IT DOES NOT MEET OUR NEEDS, THEN WE WOULD JUST DO THE WEATHER FOR DEMOCRAT MOTION BY COMMISSIONER HOLT.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THANK YOU CARRIE .

UH, YOU ALSO, I'M SORRY, GO AHEAD SIR.

I ASSUME WE DO HAVE THE MONEY FOR THIS IN THE BUDGET LINE.

YEAH, WE TALKED ABOUT USING CONTINGENCY.

SO THERE, THE BUDGET THAT WAS ORIGINALLY BUDGETED THERE FOR ALL THE BUDGET, UM, PUBLICATIONS HAS BEEN USED.

I THINK THERE WAS LIKE, UH, THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE CREATION OF AN ESDI WANNA SAY.

AND THEN THERE'S BEEN SEVERAL OF THE PROPERTY TAX ABATEMENT, UM, PUBLIC HEARING NOTICES.

AND SO ALL OF THAT BUDGET HAS BEEN USED FOR THAT.

SO WE WOULD NEED TO DO A BUDGET ADJUSTMENT FROM CONTINGENCY.

AND I ASSUME THAT'S PERMISSIBLE? YES.

PROVIDE THAT BUDGET ADJUSTMENT.

SO WHAT I CAN DO IS AT THE NEXT COURT, I'LL JUST, UM,

[01:35:01]

SO JUST TO COMMENT, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT.

SOMETIMES PEOPLE FEEL LIKE THEY'RE NOT GIVEN ADEQUATE NOTICE BECAUSE IT'S ONLY IN THE ONE NEWSPAPER.

SO I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE PUBLISH IN BOTH OF THEM WHENEVER POSSIBLE.

SO, ABSOLUTELY.

E AND DISCUSS, CONSIDER RECOMMENDATIONS FOR UP TO TWO PROJECTS TO SUBMIT TO THE, THE COG SOLID WASTE GRANT.

WE'LL MOVE TO ITEM

[7.E. Discuss/Consider recommendations for up to two projects to submit for the NCTCOG Solid Waste Grant and take any action the court deems necessary. (Shirley Mitchell / Judge Deen)]

AND TAKE ANY ACTION OF THE COURT NAMES NECESSARY, SHIRLEY, OR ITEM B SEVEN B.

SO I DID SUBMIT THREE SUGGESTIONS THAT THE PRECINCTS HAVE, UM, PRESENTED AS POSSIBLE OPTIONS FOR THE SOLID WASTE GRANT.

UH, THE APPLICATION IS DUE MAY 21ST.

I WAS HOPING WE COULD MAKE A DECISION ON EITHER ONE AND HOPEFULLY TWO OF THE, UM, SUGGESTIONS SO THAT I CAN START WORKING ON THE PROPOSALS.

THE FIRST ONE WOULD BE, UH, PRECINCT ONE WOULD BE PURCHASING A NEW, UM, SKID, UH, SKID STEER AND RELATED EQUIPMENT FOR THAT.

AND THE APPROXIMATE COST IS $112,000.

THE PRECINCT THREE HAD, UH, SUGGESTED A RECOMMENDED THAT WE CONTRACT FOR BRUSH GRINDING SERVICES.

AND THAT WOULD BE TO HAVE A COMPANY COME ONSITE, DO THE BRUSH GRINDING SERVICES, LEAVE THE MULCH THERE, THAT WOULD THEN BE DISTRIBUTED TO, UM, PARKER COUNTY RESIDENTS.

AND THEN THE THIRD IDEA WAS TO ADOPT A COUNTRY ROAD PROGRAM.

AND THAT, I THINK IS A REVITALIZATION OF A CURRENT PROGRAM.

AND SO BECAUSE THE GRANT HAS A REQUIREMENT OF 15,000, MINIMUM UP TO 200,000, WE WOULD NEED TO PURCHASE THE METAL SIGNS FROM OUTSIDE AND NOT PRODUCE 'EM OURSELVES, OR I DON'T THINK WE HAVE ENOUGH COSTS TO MEET THE MINIMUM OF 15,000.

SO THOSE ARE THE THREE.

WE CAN ONLY PICK TWO OF THESE THREE.

WE CAN PICK TWO OF THESE THREE OR COME UP WITH MORE REALLY, REALLY QUICK.

, THEY WILL ACCEPT UP TO TWO, UM, APPLICATIONS PER ENTITY.

AND WE'RE PARKER COUNTY'S CONSIDERED AN ENTITY.

I WOULD, I WOULD THINK THE BRUSH GRINDING.

MR. WALING, CAN YOU CLARIFY YOUR MOTION PLEASE? THIS? YEAH.

UM, SO IF WE NEED TO PICK TODAY, IS THAT WHAT YOU NEED TO PICK TODAY? YES, PLEASE.

WELL, SORRY, GEORGE , I DON'T, I I WANT, I WANT TO GET THE, THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT, UH, THAT WE POSSIBLY CAN.

HOWEVER, UH, IF WE HAVE TO ONLY PICK TWO, UH, WE MIGHT WANT TO ELIMINATE THE, UH, UH, TRASH PICKUP, ADOPT A COUNTRY ROAD PROGRAM, THE ADOPT COUNTRY PROGRAM ROAD.

'CAUSE THE, THE, THE COST OF IT IS MINIMAL, RIGHT? UH, SO WE COULD ELIMINATE THAT AND, AND, UH, DO THE OTHER TWO.

SO THAT'S MY MOTION IS TO SELECT THOSE TWO.

I AFFIRMED THAT THE, UH, THE PRECINCT ONE REQUEST AND THE, THE PRECINCT THREE FOR REQUEST.

RIGHT? AND JUST FOR CLARIFI CONVENIENCE CENTERS, EACH PROJECT CAN BE UP TO 200,000.

MOTION TO MOVE BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN.

WE JUST CAN ELIMINATED.

SO, OR HE'S IN COMMISSIONER.

YOU'RE GOOD WITH THAT, I ASSUME.

YEAH, I'M, I'M FINE.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? DO WE NEED THREE VOTES FOR THE SECOND OR ALL IN FAVOR? TWO SECONDS, SIR.

CARRIE SAVO.

I THINK I WAS JUST BEING HARASSED BY COMMISSIONER.

YOU ARE.

HE JUST WANTED TO SCARE YOU A LITTLE BIT.

[7.F. Discuss/Approve tentative FY 2026 Budget Calendar. (Shirley Mitchell / Judge Deen)]

SO WE DID WORK ON CREATING THE BUDGET USE IN LAST YEAR'S, UH, DATES AS A GUIDELINE AND ALSO WORKING ON, UM, MEETING STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS.

AND SO HE DOESN'T WANT ONE, HE DOESN'T THE SITE, I'M JUST TELLING YOU, THE FIRST SHEET IS JUST A ONE SHEET SUMMARY FOR YOU.

AND THEN THE OTHER THREE PAGES THAT ARE STAPLED TOGETHER IS WHAT THE BUDGET ADVISORY COMMITTEE WILL BE USING.

IT'S MORE DETAILED.

YOU CAN KEEP ONE BOTH OR, OR NOT.

BUT AGAIN, IT WAS BASED ON LAST YEAR'S.

UM, IT'S VERY ACHIEVABLE, BUT IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE MEET THOSE DEADLINES THAT ARE, UM, LISTED.

WE LEAVE LITTLE ROOM FOR ERROR.

I MEAN, WE, WE, WE HAVE IT ON HERE.

WE NEED TO MEET, RIGHT? YEAH.

SO WHEN WE, WE VOTE ON THIS.

WELL, AND I'M HOPING THAT THE NEW COMMITTEE THAT WE'VE, THAT HAS BEEN FORMED WILL ACTUALLY ASSIST IN EXPEDITING DISCUSSIONS IN PROCESS.

IT'LL GUIDE THE COURT EXACTLY THROUGH THIS WHOLE THING.

IT'S NOT LIKE THIS IS OUR FIRST RODEO YET.

WE, I UNDERSTAND.

WE'LL MAKE SURE THE COURT'S PREPARED AND MAKE SURE THAT WE GET THIS DONE EXPEDITIOUSLY.

SO I'M GONNA MOVE THAT WE, UH, APPROVE THE, UH, FISCAL YEAR 2026.

BUDGET IS PRESUMED TO COURT TODAY.

SO THEY WOULD, IN ORDER FOR US BEING IN COMPLIANCE, THEY WOULD NEED MR. DEAN TO JUDGE, DEAN TO SIGN THAT.

MOTION MOVED BY COMMISSIONER MCC COLLINS SECOND BY COMMISSIONER HALE.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? YEAH, THERE'S A, JUST A LITTLE CAVEAT HERE.

UH, WHEN WE HAD MICHAEL MORRIS HERE, HE DISCUSSED A, A PROJECT THAT THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE THAT, UH, THAT ACTUALLY CATCHES RUNOFF, UH, TO, TO BE, TO BE PUT BACK INTO THE WATER SYSTEM, EITHER INJECTED BACK INTO THE AQUIFER, IF YOU SEE ANYTHING FLY UP ABOUT THAT.

IT'S JUST A LITTLE BIT RELATED TO THIS.

IF YOU SEE ANYTHING, ANY COMMUNICA COMMUNICATION REGARDING THAT, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'RE INTERESTED IN DOING.

HERE IS, IS, UH, OBTAINING THE, THE GRANTS NECESSARY TO, UH, TO UNDERTAKE A PROJECT SUCH AS THAT.

SO KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN FOR THAT.

YES SIR.

IN CASE WE DON'T SEE IT.

YES SIR.

DOWN TO ITEM I ON DISCUSS AND TAKE ACTION.

YOU HAVE DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR, CARRIE? FIVE.

OH, THANK YOU.

OKAY, WE'LL MOVE

[7.I. Mooring proposal for Santa Fe Annex space allocation modifications through the TIPS Coop 24010402. (Kim Rivas / Judge Deen) (Part 1 of 2)]

NECESSARY ACTION REGARDING MORING COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION PROPOSAL FOR THE DISPATCH EXPANSION KIM.

SO REQUESTING AUTHORIZATION TO APPROVE AND AUTHORIZE THE COUNTY JUDGE TO EXECUTE THE DISPATCH EXPANSION PROPOSAL FOR MORE MORING COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION.

THIS IS THROUGH A TIPS CO-OP CONTRACT BECAUSE IT'S A JOB ORDER CONTRACTING AND, AND, UH, RENOVATIONS TO AN EXISTING STRUCTURE.

CONTRACT NUMBER IS 2 4 0 1 0 4 0 2 AND THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF THE PROPOSAL IS 176,000 678 33.

SO THIS IS FOR DISPATCH, DISPATCH EXPENSE BECAUSE THE AGENDA ITEM SAYS FOR ANNEX, THERE'S, THERE'S THE ONE ABOVE THAT I, I'D ALREADY MARKED IT OFF.

, I CHECKED THAT AS THE, UH, .

I HAVE THREE DIFFERENT PROJECTS HERE.

BUILDING ANNEX ALLOCATIONS.

ANY OTHER COMMENTS? I'D ASK? MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER HOLT.

SECOND BY COMMISSIONER CONY.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION WILL VOTE.

ALL IN FAVOR.

THIS IS THE MOTOROLA PROJECT THAT WE DID.

SO ON THIS WE HAVE THEM VOTED, PLEASE VOTE.

THIS IS MORING FOR THE SANTA FE ANNEX.

OKAY, WE NEED ONE MORE VOTE.

I'M NOT VOTING YET.

MOTOR UPGRADE PROJECT CHANGE ORDERS.

3.5 AYES.

THE MORING PROPOSAL FOR THE SANTA FE ANNEX.

IT LOOKS, OH, YOU HAVE AN OLDER AGENDA.

COULD BE MY PROBLEM.

, WHERE'S MONEY COMING FROM? SO THIS PORTION IS COMING FROM, UM, BUILDING GROUNDS.

NO, WHAT DID YOU SAY? BECAUSE YOU ALL ARE PAYING FOR 150,000 OF IT.

NO, THAT'S WHAT YOU SAID IN NO, THE COURT BACK IN THE, DURING THE, UH, BUDGET SESSIONS, THE COURT APPROVED 150,000 FOR THIS PROJECT.

UM, THERE'S BEEN A, JUST LIKE WITH ANY OTHER PROJECT, THERE'S BEEN OTHER THINGS POP UP.

I FOUND SOME MONEY IN, IN SHERIFF'S OFFICE BUDGET TO DO THE RADIO MOVE AND THEN THE SHERIFF'S GONNA USE UH, SEIZE ASSETS FUNDS TO PAY FOR THE CARPET AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

BUT THERE'S A DEFICIT BETWEEN WHAT THE COURT BUDGETED AT ONE 50 AND WHAT THE COURT APPROVES TODAY FOR THE ACTUAL REMODELING.

WE'RE ALSO DOING, UH, A LOT OF THE DEMO OURSELVES USING TRUSTEES AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHERE THAT, I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE COURT PUT THAT MONEY.

I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE COURT PUT THAT MONEY.

IS THE 150,000, I'M ASSUMING IT WAS, WHAT I'M BEING TOLD WAS IN BUILDINGS OF GROUNDS BUDGET.

BRIANNA SAID IT WASN'T SPECIFIC INCLUDED.

THERE WAS 500 FOR AUTO, IT WAS PRESENTED.

SO 500,000 WAS APPROVED FOR THE AUTO REGISTRATION REMODEL AND THEN 500,000 WAS APPROVED FOR SPECIAL PROJECTS TO COME BEFORE THE COURT.

'CAUSE I THINK THERE WERE SEVERAL THAT WERE PRESENTED BUT NOT INDIVIDUALLY ITEMIZED OF WHAT THE PROJECTS WERE GONNA BE.

IS THAT WHERE THE MONEY'S COMING FROM? THE OTHER 500,000? NOT OUTTA MY BUDGET.

I CAN'T,

[01:45:04]

THAT'S TRUE.

CAN I WITHDRAW MY MOTION UNTIL WE FIGURE OUT WHERE THE MONEY'S COMING FROM? YOU CAN.

PROPOSAL WERE, WE JUST TOOK NO ACTION ON.

I'LL WITHDRAW MINE AS WELL.

OKAY, WE'LL TAKE NO ACTION ON THAT ITEM.

MOVE TO ADAM K ON AUTO REGISTRATION, EXPANSION CHANGE ORDER NUMBER ONE.

KIM, ARE WE GONNA DO JAY? DID I WAIT WHO? HAVEN DONE STAND BACK.

JAY WOULD BE THE, OH, I'M SORRY.

MOR AND JAY.

MORNING

[7.J. Auto Registration Expansion Change Order # 1. (Kim Rivas / Judge Deen)]

SO THAT WOULD BE ALSO J AS WELL? NO, WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT J.

WE CAN GO TO J.

WE CAN GO TO THE J.

LET ME READ THAT OUT.

MORE PROPOSAL.

SANTA OF THE ANNEX.

SPECIAL ALLOCATION MODIFICATIONS THROUGH THE TIPS CO-OP, UH, KIM.

SO, UM, REQUESTING THE COURT APPROVE OR, OR CONSIDER AND DISCUSS TWO DIFFERENT PROPOSALS THAT WERE SUBMITTED BY MORING CONSTRUCTION.

ONE INCLUDED THE JP THREE, UM, MODIFICATIONS THAT THEY ARE ASKING FOR THE ELECTIONS AREA, UM, CONVERSION OVER FOR THE AUDITOR'S OFFICE.

AND THEN, UM, SOME CHANGES TO THE PURCHASING CURRENT SUITE FOR, UM, IT'S PRE FUTURE.

MOVING INTO THAT, THAT TOTAL PROPOSAL CAME OUT TO 120,000 272 0 8.

THIS ALSO INCLUDED, UM, LAYING THE CARPET AND PAINTING OF THESE AREAS WHERE IT NEED BE BY MORE IN CONSTRUCTION.

UM, I'VE REQUESTED, AFTER THEY SUBMITTED THIS, I REQUESTED THEY GO BACK, SHARPEN THEIR PENCILS AND TO SEPARATE OUT THE PROPOSAL FOR THE JP THREE'S OFFICE BECAUSE IT WASN'T CONSIDERED IN PART OF THE SPACE ALLOCATION, UM, THAT YOU ALL VOTED ON LAST COURT FOR THE ELECTIONS AND IT AND, AND OTHER OFFICES IN THE ANNEX.

THEY REMOVED THE, UM, JP THREE AMOUNT AND DID A SEPARATE PROPOSAL FOR IT FOR ONE 41,000 TO 26 37.

AND THEN THE REST OF THE OFFICES, INCLUDING THE ELECTIONS AREA FOR THE AUDITOR'S OFFICE.

AND THEN THE PURCHASING IT AREA TOTALED OUT TO 65,000 297 31.

THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE MOORING DOING THE LAYING OF THE CARPET TILES AND THE PAINT BUILDING AND GROUNDS FORCES WOULD DO THOSE SERVICES.

SO YOU HAVE THREE DIFFERENT OPTIONS TO DO IT ALL.

AND MOORING DO ALL OF THE WORK FOR 120,000 OR THE TWO SEPARATE PROPOSALS SEPARATING OUT JP THREE AND DOING THE REST OF THE PROJECT WITH BUILDING AND GROUNDS STAFF.

DOING THE LAYING OF THE CARPET AND THE PAINTING WERE NE NECESSARY.

AND THIS HAS NOT BEEN BUDGETED.

WHERE, WHERE'S THE MONEY COME FROM? IS IT, THIS IS NON BUDGETED MONEY TO COME OUT OF NOT COMING OUT OF BUILDING AND GROUNDS.

DID DID WE NOT HAVE A COMMITTEE THAT SAID THAT WE'RE BE THERE WOULD BE VERY MINIMAL COST IN IN MAKING THIS CONVERSION? YES, WE DID.

YEP.

ABSOLUTELY APPROVED AT LAST COURT SESSION.

SO THAT WAS MY QUESTION ON THE JPS.

I HAD, I THOUGHT BASICALLY IT WAS PUTTING IN A DOOR AND WE'RE JUST KNOCKING OUT A WALL ANDREUS.

AND THAT WORK WAS ALREADY DONE IN PART OF THE AUTO REGISTRATION EXPANSION.

SO THE $41,000, IT IS MORE THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT MORE.

IT'S FOR A COUNTER AND A NEW DOORWAY.

I THOUGHT THAT COUNTER WE WERE ABLE TO REPURPOSE FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE AND JUST KIND OF GRAB IT FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE AND YEAH, THAT'S WHAT PUSH IT.

IF YOU LOOK AT THE, UM, ON THE FIRST PROPOSAL FOR 120,000, IT LISTS THE DESCRIPTION OF EACH OF THE AREAS, WHAT THE COSTS CONCLUDE.

AND IT SAYS DEMO WALL BUILD OUT TWO OFFICES.

WALLS WILL BE BUILT UP CEILING TO MATCH EXISTING OFFICES, DOORS, FRAMES, FIXED CEILINGS, DOUBLE DOOR FRAME AND HARDWARE.

UM, DOUBLE DOOR TO BE WOOD DOORS WITH NO GLASS AND NEW ASSEMBLY FLOORING.

BUT I'M GUESSING THEY'RE TAKING THAT EXISTING COUNTER OUT OF THE OLD ELECTIONS OFFICE AND GOING TO LIKE, EXPAND AND HAVE THE PUBLIC GO INTO THIS NEW AREA FOR THE, SO THE BOTTOM LINE IS WE DON'T HAVE MONEY BUDGETED FOR THIS.

NONE.

ZERO.

WE HAVE NONE FOR NOT ANY AVAILABLE IN BUILDING AND GROUNDS FOR ANY OF IT.

OR JUST WHY BE COMING FROM A SAVINGS.

THE SAVINGS FROM THE AUTO REGISTRATION EXPANSION, THERE'S SOME LEFT FROM THAT.

WE LEAVE OUT THE JP THREE, THEN YOU'VE GOT 65,000.

THAT'S MY MOTION IS WE LEAVE

[01:50:01]

OUT THE JP THREE.

SO I WOULD SUGGEST THAT WE, I DON'T KNOW THE TIMEFRAME OF THIS, BUT IT APPEARS TO ME SOMETHING THAT COULD BE DONE IN ANOTHER BUDGET CYCLE AND THAT INFORMATION COULD BE PRESENTED TO COURT FOR ANOTHER BUDGET CYCLE.

'CAUSE WE, WE DON'T HAVE THE MONEY THERE.

IT'S NOT THERE.

PERIOD.

WELL, WE HAVE LEFTOVER MONEY.

WELL, WE HAVE, I'M THINKING THE AUTO REGISTRATION.

YEAH, WE HAVE MONEY FROM THE AUTO REGISTRATION.

WE HAVE SOMEWHERE AROUND THE STREET CAN DO EVERYTHING.

BUT THE JP THREE, THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

I, I, YEAH, I MEAN THE MONEY'S NOT THERE.

IT'S NOT THERE.

AND, AND, UH, IT SEEMS TO ME LIKE IT COULD BE DONE IN A TIMEFRAME THAT WOULD ALLOW IT TO BE IN THE NEXT BUDGET CYCLE IF, IF IT WAS APPROVED IN OUR NEXT BUDGET PROCESS.

ARE YOU TALKING SPECIFICALLY JP OR THE WHOLE THING? JP.

IF YOU SAY THERE'S, IF THERE'S MONEY THERE FOR THE OTHER PROJECT, I BELIEVE LEFT OVER FROM AUTO REGISTRATION.

NOW I, I WOULD SAY THAT MONEY HAS BEEN BUDGETED FOR FOUR WORK THERE.

AND SO THERE'S MONEY THERE FOR THAT.

THAT'S MY MOTION.

TO ITEM K ON AUTO REGISTRATION EXPANSION CHANGE ORDER NUMBER ONE.

DO WE HAVE A SECOND? SECOND IS MADE BY COMMISSIONER HILL.

THE MOTION IS MADE BY COMMISSIONER COLLEY.

[02:10:01]

IS OPEN.

UM, MS TIER, CAN YOU CONFIRM THE DATE OF THE FINAL APPLICATION, INCLUDING WHEN THE CHECK WAS SUBMITTED AND DATED TO THE COUNTY, PLEASE FOR ITEM B TWO APRIL 14TH.

SO IN THIS PROCESS THEY HAVE TURNED IN A BUNCH OF PAPERWORK AT DIFFERENT TIMES, BUT IT'S NOT FINAL UNTIL EVERYTHING IS TURNED IN CORRECTLY, INCLUDING THE CHECK YES.

COUNSELOR.

THAT'S, THAT'S CORRECT.

AND SO THE VERY LAST THING THAT WAS TURNED IN WAS TURNED IN ON APRIL 14TH, IS THAT CORRECT? YES, SIR.

I I THINK I MISHEARD YOU EARLIER AND SO I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT COUNSELOR, IF I'M CORRECT, THAT WOULD THEN START THE SHOT CLOCK, SO TO SPEAK, OF THE 30 DAYS ON APRIL 14TH, IS THAT CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT.

SO I, I WANTED TO HAVE THAT DISCUSSION ON THE RECORD BECAUSE WITH RESPECT TO THE FOLKS WHO HAVE RAISED CONCERNS TODAY, IT SOUNDS LIKE THE DECISION DOES NOT NEED TO BE MADE TODAY.

I THINK THE CONCERN EARLIER WAS A DECISION HAD TO BE MADE TODAY OR ELSE THE LAW MADE THE DECISION FOR US, BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE WE NOW HAVE MORE TIME TO ALLOW FOR ADDITIONAL INVESTIGATION TO ADDRESS THE CONCERNS THAT WERE BROUGHT UP TODAY.

COUNSELOR, DOES THAT SOUND ACCURATE? 30 DAYS FROM THE FINAL SUBMISSION OF THE DOCUMENTS TO PROCEED.

BUT TO CLARIFY, COMM COMMISSIONER, WE'RE GONNA CONTINUE TO TREAT THAT IN OUR OFFICE.

UH, RICH TOOK OFF, BUT UH, AS A SENSE OF URGENCY THAT WE'RE, EVEN THOUGH WE DO HAVE THAT TIME, WE'RE GONNA TREAT IT AS A SENSE OF URGENCY TO, UM, GET THIS THING DONE.

SO, OKAY.

THEN I WOULD ASK THAT WE, UM, WHILE, WHILE WE REOPENED IT, I DON'T THINK WE HAVE TO MAKE ANOTHER MOTION OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

I DON'T THINK SO.

NO.

REALLY NOT, NO.

SO LEAVE IT AS TAKE NO ACTION.

OKAY, WE MOVE TO ITEM THREE EXCEPT WE TAKE NO ACTION ON THAT ONE ALSO, PLEASE.

TAKE ANY ACTION TO COURT DEEMED IS NECESSARY.

SO THE PURPOSE OF THIS REVISION IS GONNA BE TO, UH, COMBINE LOTS 32 AND 34 AND THEN LOT 34, 36 AND 38 INTO TWO LOTS.

HOWEVER, EVEN WITH THIS COMBINATION, UH, THAT WOULD LEAVE LOT 32 R AT 0.550 OF AN ACRE.

AND 36, UH, 0.913 IS AN ACRE.

SO THEY BOTH STILL FALL UNDER, UM, OUR COUNTY RULES.

THEY MEET THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE STATE RULES, BUT THIS WAS ONE OF THOSE OLDER PLATS THAT WAS PLATTED PRIOR TO, UM, 2009.

SO I JUST WANTED TO GET PERMISSION FROM THE COURT TO START THE APPROVAL PROCESS.

WELL, I WANNA MAKE SURE FROM PERMITTING THAT, THAT YES, THIS, THIS MEETS WITH YOUR, UH, APPROVAL.

YES, BECAUSE IT, THE SUBDIVISION WAS PLATTED BEFORE SUBDIVISION RULES COME IN.

SO THE WAY WE VIEW IT, WE CAN'T RETROACTIVE THE RIGHT, SO WE FALL BACK TO THE WAY THE RULE WAS WHEN THE, WHEN THE SUBDIVISION WE ANY WATER SMALLER THAN CORRECT? YEAH, WE'RE NOT, WE'RE NOT.
