[4. CONSENT]
TO THE ITEM ON FOUR CONSENT AGENDA UNDER ITEM A, ITEMS TWO, THREE, AND FOUR.AND UNDER ITEM B, TREASURE ITEMS ONE, TWO, AND THREE.
AND THERE'S A COMMENT THAT WE MADE ON ITEM TWO.
UM, JUST WANTED TO BRING ONE ITEM TO YOUR ATTENTION.
IF YOU RECALL, A COUPLE COURTS AGO, I PRESENTED TO YOU, UM, THE IRS ARBITRAGE YIELD RESTRICTION PAYMENT.
UH, WE DID MAKE THAT PAYMENT ON APRIL 28TH.
UM, IT WAS ACTUALLY DUE TODAY.
UM, AND THE TOTAL FOR THAT PAYMENT WAS 640,362 AND 66 CENTS.
SO JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW WHAT THAT FINAL AMOUNT WAS.
AND THAT CAME FROM, UH, HILLTOP SECURITIES FINAL REPORT.
AND THEN UNDER ITEMS C, ITEMS ONE, TWO, AND THREE FOR THE COUNTY JUDGE.
AND THAT WOULD ASK FOR A MOTION I MOVE TO APPROVE THE CONSENT ITEMS AS PRESENTED TO COURT TODAY.
MOTION IS MADE BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN.
DO WE HAVE A SECOND? SECOND BY COMMISSIONER HILL? ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL ON PAPER? I'M SORRY, CARRIE, ABOUT, THANK YOU.
OKAY, WE'RE GONNA MOVE DOWN TO ITEM JUDGE.
DO YOU HAVE WHAT? YOUR COMMENT, SORRY ABOUT THAT.
PHONE NUMBER TWO UNDER TREASURER.
THIS IS THE ACCEPT OR RELEASE PLEDGE SECURITIES.
I WAS THINKING THAT WAS THE ONE.
UM, THIS IS JUST FROM PLAINS CAPITAL BANK.
SOMETIMES, DEPENDING ON WHAT OUR BALANCE REQUIREMENT IS, SOMETIMES THEY ASK US IF THEY CAN RELEASE SECURITIES JUST TO STILL MEET OUR FUNDING REQUIREMENT, BUT HAVE THEM NOT HAVE TO HAVE THESE PLEDGES.
SORRY, I BURNED YOU ON THAT ONE.
[4.D.7. Accept/Reject/Renew RFP PC25-13 Auto Indexing SAAS for County Clerk. (Kim Rivas / Judge Deen)]
TO ITEM, UH, D SEVEN.ACCEPT, REJECT, RENEW THE RFP PC 25 DASH 13 AUTO INDEXING STATUS FOR COUNTY CLERK.
UH, KIM, YOU WOULD, SO THREE RESPONSES WERE RECEIVED FOR RFP PC 25 DASH 13 FOR AUTO INDEXING SOFTWARE AS A SERVICE FOR THE COUNTY CLERKS.
THEY, THOSE THREE WERE FROM US IMAGING INC.
JUST APPRAISE AND HIGHLAND SOFTWARE INC.
IT IS RECOMMENDED THE COMMISSIONER'S COURT AWARD THE BID TO US IMAGING, INC.
AS THE LOWEST AND BEST VALUE RESPONSE THE VENDOR IS HERE.
IF YOU ALL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THEM, I WOULD, WOULD YOU HAVE 'EM COME ON UP? SURE WOULD.
MR. HAVING COME UP, IF YOU WOULD, UH, JUST GOOD MORNING.
I'M THE PRESIDENT AND CEO OF US IMAGING.
FIRST OF ALL, UM, IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS OR ANYTHING YOU'D LIKE TO ADDRESS OR JUST, JUST A GENERAL COMMENT? UM, UH, NO, I'M JUST HONORED TO BE HERE.
UM, THIS IS A VERY EXCITING TECHNOLOGY.
UM, YOUR CLERK IS, IS VERY FORWARD THINKING AND, UM, THE COUNTY'S ABOUT TO GET ONE OF THE MOST ADVANCED AND EXCITING SOLUTIONS AVAILABLE FOR LAND RECORDS TODAY.
SO WHY DON'T YOU GIVE US A LITTLE BIT OF DETAIL ABOUT IT FOR THOSE THAT MIGHT NOT BE AWARE OF WHAT YOUR SYSTEM DOES? SURE, SURE.
[00:05:02]
THE RECORDER'S OFFICE WILL RECEIVE LAND RECORDS, UM, THROUGH ERE RECORDINGS OR THROUGH PAPER THAT THEY THEN SCAN AND DIGITIZE.AND THEN THE, THE COUNTY STAFF WILL INDEX THOSE DOCUMENTS AND, UH, MAKE THEM SEARCHABLE FOR SEARCHERS IN THE FUTURE FOR THIS CONSTITUENTS AND TITLE COMPANIES IN THE FUTURE.
YOUR, YOU'RE, THAT BECOMES A CHALLENGE, UM, WHEN COUNTIES ARE GROWING AS RAPIDLY AS YOURS IS, UM, TO MAINTAIN THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF STAFF TO KEEP UP WITH THE AMOUNT OF VOLUME THAT'S COMING IN.
UM, IT'S KIND OF A ROLLERCOASTER RIDE FOR YOUR, UH, FOR YOUR CLERK'S DEPARTMENT BECAUSE, UH, WHEN RECORDING, WHEN INTEREST RATES ARE LOW AS THEY ARE TODAY, UH, OR I'M SORRY, WHEN THEY'RE HIGH, MY BAD.
WHEN THEY'RE HIGH AS THEY ARE TODAY, AND RECORDING VOLUME IS LOW, EXCUSE ME.
UM, IT'S, IT'S FAIRLY EASY TO KEEP UP, BUT AS MORE PEOPLE COME RECORDING VOLUME GOES UP, AND WHEN INTEREST RATES GO DOWN, THE VOLUME CAN SPIKE RAPIDLY AND THE COUNTY OFFICES, YOU KNOW, ILL PREPARED FOR IT.
THEY, YOU JUST, YOU CAN'T RAMP UP PEOPLE AS FAST AS THE, UM, CHANGES TAKE PLACE.
SO WITH THE NEW AUTO INDEXING SOLUTION, WE ARE UTILIZING, UM, ADVANCED TECHNIQUES AND TOOLS THAT HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED OVER THE PAST 25 YEARS, AND WE'RE COMBINING AI TECHNOLOGY WITH IT TO HELP THOSE TECHNIQUES AND TOOLS BECOME MUCH MORE EFFICIENT.
UM, WE'RE ON THE, THE CUTTING EDGE.
WE'RE DOING THIS, WE, WE SERVICE 1300 COUNTIES ACROSS THE UNITED STATES.
UM, WE'RE DOING DAILY INDEXING FOR, UM, PROBABLY A DOZEN.
UM, SO IT'S A VERY NEW AND, AND FORWARD THINKING, UM, SOLUTION.
AND, UM, YOU AGAIN, YOUR, YOUR CLERK IS, IS VERY FORWARD THINKING.
UM, THIS WILL BE A STATE-OF-THE-ART SOLUTION THAT WILL BE MORE ACCURATE THAN ANY HUMAN, UH, INDEXER, ANY SUPER EXPERIENCED INDEXER CAN BE.
UM, AND IT, IT CAN SCALE IT WITHIN SECONDS.
LIKE WHENEVER, UH, THE VOLUME GOES UP, IT CAN KEEP RIGHT UP, NO PROBLEM.
UM, YOU'RE, YOU'RE PROCESSING, YOU KNOW, HUNDREDS OF DOCUMENTS A DAY, AND OUR TECHNOLOGY CAN PROCESS HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOCUMENTS A DAY.
ANY QUESTIONS? YEAH, A LALA DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING YOU WANNA TELL US ABOUT? I THINK HE SAID IT ALL.
WE'RE LOOKING, UH, WE'RE REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO STARTING THIS PROCESS.
SO IT SOUNDS EXCITING, THE AMOUNT OF THE CONTRACT AND WHERE'S THE MONEY COME FROM? NO, THIS WAS IN LAST YEAR'S BUDGET MM-HMM
AND IT'S COMING OUT OF THE, UH, SPECIAL FUNDS THAT I COLLECT.
ANYTHING ELSE? COMMENTS? YEAH, I HAD A QUESTION.
SO SCANNING THESE DOCUMENTS, ARE THEY, ARE THEY HOUSED ON YOUR SIDE OR ARE THEY, IT'S A GOOD QUESTION.
SO THE, THE CLERK'S OFFICE HAS A TYLER, UM, RECORDER SYSTEM THAT RECEIVES E RECORDED DOCUMENTS THROUGHOUT THE DAY.
AND THERE'S ALSO PAPER DOCUMENTS COME IN THAT THE, THE OFFICE SCANS IN AND THE DATA GOES INTO THE TYLER SYSTEM.
THE TYLER SYSTEM THEN HAS A MODULE THAT SWEEPS A DIRECTORY OF IMAGES EVERY 10 MINUTES AND THEN TRANSMITS THOSE IMAGES TO OUR SERVERS SECURELY.
ENCRYPTED AND, AND SECURELY, ONCE WE RECEIVE THEM, UM, WE RUN THEM THROUGH OUR SOFTWARE THAT HAS BEEN TRAINED AND TESTED TO MATCH THE RULES OF THE, YOUR SPECIFIC COUNTY ON HOW YOU INDEX THINGS, YOU KNOW, HOW, HOW THEIR, UH, WORDS ARE ABBREVIATED, HOW, UM, PUNCTUATION IS DONE, ALL THE RULES, HOW YOU WANT THE DATA IS, IS YOUR UNIQUE, UM, SET UP.
AND THAT DATA THEN IS PROCESSED, UH, IT'S PROCESSED ON A SECURE SERVER.
IT'S NOT INTERMINGLED WITH ANY OTHER COUNTY OR ANY OTHER CUSTOMER'S DATA.
IT'S SIMPLY YOUR SERVER, YOUR DATA.
IT'S, IT'S CALLED PRIVATE TENANT IN THE AI WORLD.
UM, MOST AI AI, IF YOU USE LIKE CHAT GPT ON YOUR PHONE, UM, FROM OPEN AI MM-HMM
THAT IS A MULTI-TENANT SOLUTION.
WHERE THE WHOLE WORLD IS, UM, SHARING DATA AND UH, BUT WITH THIS SOLUTION, IT'S, IT'S USING THE TECHNIQUES FROM THAT ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY, BUT THE DATA IS ACTUALLY IN A TOTALLY SEPARATE PRIVATE SERVER.
IT'S NEVER COMMINGLED WITH ANY OTHERS DATA.
UM, IT'S ENCRYPTED THE WHOLE TIME
[00:10:01]
IT GETS PROCESSED.THE SOLUTION WILL ACHIEVE ABOUT 95% ON ITS OWN.
AND THEN OUR STAFF GO IN AND QC THE WORK THAT THE SOFTWARE DID.
AND OUR STAFF HAS 35 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE SERVING HUNDREDS OF COUNTIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
SO WE THEN GO IN AND CORRECT THE, ANY DATA THAT WAS NOT DONE CORRECTLY BY THE SOFTWARE.
AND THEN, UM, WE SEND DATA BACK TO THE COUNTY THAT'S 99.5% ACCURATE.
IT GOES BACK TO THE COUNTY SECURELY, IT GOES INTO A QUEUE THAT IS LIKE A STAGING AREA THAT THE COUNTY STAFF CAN REVIEW THE DATA AND MAKE ANY OTHER CORRECTIONS.
PERHAPS THAT 0.5% THAT WE MAY HAVE MADE A MISTAKE.
UH, WE'RE, WE'RE NOT PERFECT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE WORKING TOWARDS IT, BUT WE'RE NOT THERE YET.
UM, AND THEN THEIR STAFF CAN REVIEW IT AND MAKE ANY CORRECTIONS AND INFORM US OF IT.
THEN THE IMAGES AND INDEXES IN THE TYLER SYSTEM GET PUSHED OUT TO THE PUBLIC FOR ACCURATE SEARCHING AND IT THEN BECOMES PERMANENT AFTER THAT.
UM, AND IN SHORT, WE OWN THE DATA.
WE OWN IT AND THEY DON'T SHARE IT.
AS SOON AS IT PROCESSES AND IT SENDS IT BACK, IT DELETES IT OFF THE SERVER.
YOU'RE, YOU, YOU ADDRESSED THE COMPONENT I WAS ASKING ABOUT OR KINDA GETTING TO WAS THAT AI YEP.
AND IF IT'S PRIVATE OR IF THAT'S ABLE TO BE SHARED FOR OTHER AI YEP.
SO I, I WANTED TO JUST GET A LITTLE MORE INFO ON THAT.
AND IT'S A VALID CONCERN BECAUSE A LOT OF THE SOLUTIONS OUT THERE YEAH.
ARE A MULTI-TENANT SOLUTION AND THE DATA DOES GET IT SHARED AND ON IT'S COMMINGLED ON SERVERS AND IT'S COMMINGLED 'CAUSE IT'S TRYING TO LEARN, IT'S TRYING TO GET BETTER.
SO THEY, THEIR CONCEPT, YOU KNOW, OUR COMPETITOR'S CONCEPT IS, YOU KNOW, LET'S GET EVERYBODY'S OPINION.
WELL, NO, IT'S YOUR COUNTY, THE WAY YOU DO IT IS DIFFERENT THAN THE WAY THAT THEY DO IT IN TARRANT COUNTY OR THE WAY THAT THEY DO IT IN ROCKWALL COUNTY, WHEREVER.
UM, SO IT HAS TO STAY PRIVATE BECAUSE OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION LIKE SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS, CREDIT CARD NUMBERS.
UM, IT ALSO, UM, HAS TO STAY PRIVATE BECAUSE YOU HAVE, YOUR COUNTY HAS SPECIFIC RULES ON HOW THOSE THINGS ARE DONE.
SO WE'RE BASICALLY TRAINING OUR SOFTWARE TO BE EXPERTS ON YOUR DOCUMENTS AND YOUR INDEXING RULES.
WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN WITH A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER.
ANY OF THE DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR.
[7.E. Waive 10-day job posting for Tax Assessor-Collector Deputy Clerk position. (Jenny Gentry / Judge Deen)]
DOWN TO ITEM SEVEN E ON THE WAIVE 10 DAY JOB POSTING FOR TAX ASSESSOR COLLECTOR, DEPUTY CLERK POSITION.I'M ASKING THE COURT TO WAIVE.
I HAD AN EMPLOYEE RETIRE AND WE POSTED A POSITION AND BEFORE I EVEN OFFERED OF THE 52 APPLICANTS TO FILL THAT ONE, I HAD ANOTHER VACANCY.
SO I JUST WOULD LIKE TO HIRE WITHIN THOSE.
ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL FAVOR.
OKAY, WE'RE CAN MOVE DOWN TO, SORRY.
YEAH, I I'LL GO AHEAD AND I CAN DO THAT ONE TOO.
I, I WAS, I'LL JUST DO THAT ONE.
[7.B. Discuss and take action on naming Justin Bradley as one of Parker County's seats on the Board of Directors for the Upper Trinity Groundwater Conservation District. (Doug Shaw / Commissioner Holt)]
WE MOVED.ITEM SEVEN B DISCUSSED AND TAKE ACTION ON NAMING JUSTIN BRADLEY AS ONE OF THE PARKER COUNTY SEATS ON THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR THE UPPER TRINITY GROUNDWATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT.
UH, DOUG, YOU'D LIKE TO COME UP JUDGE, MEMBERS OF THE COURT.
JUST WANTED TO UPDATE YOU GUYS.
YOU KNOW, WE WERE HERE A COUPLE WEEKS AGO LETTING YOU KNOW, WE WERE GONNA HAVE A VACANCY ON OUR BOARD.
UM, AND WE WOULD NEED YOU GUYS, OR WE'D LIKE YOU GUYS TO, UH, AN APPOINTMENT REPLACEMENT PRIOR TO JUNE 1ST IF POSSIBLE.
UM, I'VE, I'VE HAD LUNCH WITH, UH, JUSTIN HERE OR BREAKFAST WITH HIM A FEW WEEKS AGO.
UM, HIS NAME HAS COME UP AND RECOMMENDED, I THINK HE'S MET WITH AT LEAST A FEW OF YOU GUYS.
UM, OF COURSE, I DON'T HAVE ANY OPINION ON IT, YOU KNOW,
BUT, UM, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS Y'ALL HAVE.
WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER HOLT, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER HALE.
WE'RE IN THE DISCUSSION PHASE.
UH, COMMISSIONER, DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION? UM, SURE.
MR. BRADLEY'S BEEN RECOMMENDED TO ME BY SEVERAL FOLKS I TRUST AS WELL.
WE SPENT ABOUT TWO HOURS TALKING ABOUT THE EXCITING WORLD OF WATER AND ALL OF THAT.
MY, MY ONLY COMMENT IS, I DON'T KNOW WHY HE'S DUMB ENOUGH TO WANT TO DO THIS POSITION, BUT OTHER
[00:15:01]
THAN THAT HE SEEMS, SEEMS LIKE A GREAT FIT FOR US.WOULD YOU LIKE TO COME UP AND SAY HE IS? ANYTHING YOU'D LIKE TO SAY OR INTRODUCE YOURSELF? COME ON UP.
THOSE OF YOU THAT DON'T KNOW ME, UH, I'VE BEEN ASKED TO DO THIS BY MULTIPLE PEOPLE.
I'VE HAD DISCUSSIONS WITH QUITE A FEW OF YOU SITTING IN FRONT OF ME.
UH, BIGGEST QUESTION I HAVE IS HOW CAN I HELP BETTER SERVE? AND I THINK THAT'S STILL A QUESTION I'M LOOKING FOR THROUGH MULTIPLE CHANNELS, BUT THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT.
SO IT'S MOVING A LITTLE FASTER THAN I THOUGHT, BUT I'M GOOD WITH IT EITHER WAY.
MR. BRADLEY, WOULD YOU SHARE WHAT YOU DO ON THE, UH, BUSINESS SIDE OF THINGS SO FOLKS KNOW HOW YOU'RE INVESTED IN THE COUNTY AND ALL OF THOSE? SURE.
SO, UH, I OWN JACK METALS, WHICH WE'RE A METAL BUILDING SUPPLIER.
OBVIOUSLY WE HAVE MULTIPLE LOCATIONS.
UM, I SIT ON THE EDC BOARD FOR PARKER COUNTY AS WELL.
UM, WHICH THAT DOESN'T, THAT'S A PRIVATIZED THING, SO THAT DOESN'T AFFECT ME SITTING ON THIS BOARD.
UM, OBVIOUSLY FROM MY SIDE OF IT, THE MORE PEOPLE HERE, THE MORE BUILDINGS WE SELL, RIGHT.
AND UM, BUT AS FAR AS WHERE I'M AT IN THE COMMUNITY, I THINK I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO HELP.
AND EVERY TIME A CONVERSATION COMES UP, THE NEXT CONVERSATION'S ALWAYS WATER.
NOW, AS TO JACOB'S POINT, SOME OF THE STUFF I HAVE TO HEAR, I DON'T REALLY UNDERSTAND IT, BUT I'M TRYING TO GET A LITTLE BIT MORE ENGAGED.
BUT I KNOW THAT IF WE DON'T TACKLE THIS QUICKLY, THERE'S NOT GONNA BE ANY 10 YEARS, WE'RE NOT GONNA BE HAVING THIS DISCUSSION 'CAUSE THERE'S NOT GONNA BE ANY WATER.
AND IN FACT, IT'S NUMBER ONE, ONE A, ONE B, WHATEVER PRIORITY IN THIS, IN THIS COUNTY.
THAT'S, IT AFFECTS EVERYTHING ELSE WE DO.
SO THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU'RE STEPPING UP AND DOING THIS AND YOUR EXPERIENCE AND, UM, WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.
IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? YEAH, THERE IS.
WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT WATER WELLS? HAVE YOU EVER, DO YOU HAVE A WATER? WELL, I DO.
I MEAN, I, I GET WATER WELLS VERY WELL.
UM, YOU KNOW, I OBVIOUSLY, I LIVE IN ALITO, UM, FROM BROCK, GREW UP IN WEATHERFORD, UM, SINCE I WAS A LITTLE KID, BROCK'S NEVER HAD WATER.
AND IT'S BEEN THAT WAY FOREVER.
AND I THINK, UM, LIKE I SAID, FROM SITTING ON, SITTING ON THE OTHER BOARD, UH, EVERYTHING EAST HAS WATER, RIGHT? YOU GOT PIPES IN THE GROUND, YOU HAVE INFRASTRUCTURE, IT'S ABLE TO GET WATER.
WE'RE ABLE TO MAKE THE EASTERN SIDE BIGGER, BUT HOW DO DO WE GET IT? WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO TO HELP THE WEST SIDE AND HOW ARE WE GONNA GET IT THERE? THAT'S MY BIGGEST CONCERN.
SO, TO YOUR POINT, WITH WELLS PUNCHING MORE HOLES IN THE GROUND, IF, IF YOU CAN'T GET IT OUTTA THE GROUND, YOU CAN'T GET IT OUTTA THE GROUND.
BUT IF IT'S ALREADY COMING OUTTA THE GROUND, HOW MANY, HOW MANY ARE WE GONNA PUNCH IN THE GROUND BEFORE THAT'S AN ISSUE? YOU WELL SAID.
SO YOU'RE, UH, YOU'RE OKAY WITH REGULATING WATER WELLS ALL OVER PARKER COUNTY? YES.
NOT JUST OUT THERE WHERE THERE'S NOT WATER? NO, I THINK WE'VE GOTTA FIGURE THAT OUT.
AND I DON'T KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT IT TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION WHOLLY.
RIGHT? I HAVEN'T, I DON'T HAVE THAT MUCH INFORMATION, BUT WE GOTTA FIGURE SOMETHING OUT.
I MEAN, IF I UNDERSTAND CORRECTLY, WE'RE ABOUT, WELL, WE'RE NOT GONNA BE OUTTA WATER IN 10 YEARS, I CAN TELL YOU THAT.
HIS OPINION IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT, BUT RIGHT.
WELL, I'D JUST LIKE TO SEE THE DATA.
I MEAN, THEY'RE TELLING ME RIGHT NOW WE'RE TWO FOOT BELOW WHERE WE SHOULD BE IN 10 YEARS.
BUT IT RAISES, IT GOES UP AND DOWN DEPENDING ON THE YES.
I, AND LIKE I SAID, I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND ALL THIS.
IT'S ONE DAY AT A TIME FOR ME, AND THAT'S, I JUST DON'T WANT YOU ONE SIDED IF YOU'RE GONNA BE ON THIS BOARD.
I, WHAT I WOULD REALLY PREFER TO SEE IS THE INFRASTRUCTURE FOR WATER.
THAT'S WHAT I WOULD PREFER TO SEE.
WE'VE, I'VE HAD A FEW MEETINGS, THERE'S BEEN ABOUT THREE DIFFERENT THINGS SUGGESTED HOW TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN.
I MEAN, I DON'T, I DON'T HAVE THAT ANSWER.
I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU, I I THINK THE SAME CONVERSATION'S BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT 15 YEARS.
SO, UH, LIKE I SAID, I DON'T WANNA BE UP HERE IN 15 YEARS HAVING THE SAME CONVERSATION.
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A REAL PUSH TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET THIS FIXED.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? QUESTIONS? YEAH, I'LL JUST COMMENT.
JUSTIN, YOU MIGHT WANT TO VISIT WITH, UH, MS. SHAW.
AND I THINK WE HAVE A MEETING ON WEDNESDAY MORNING.
THAT HE'S GONNA BE ATTENDING THAT, THAT ADDRESSES MANY OF THOSE CONCERNS.
SO, UH, THE FACT IS, WE, WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON IT FOR A LITTLE WHILE HERE.
[00:20:01]
THAN WELCOME TO, TO ATTEND THE MEETING ON WEDNESDAY MORNING, UH, TO, TO VISIT WITH OUR HYDROLOGY 2050 COMMITTEE.AND THE ENGINEERING FIRM AND, AND WHERE WE'RE HEADED IN THAT PROCESS.
WE, UH, WE WILL HAVE A FULL REPORT BACK FOR COURT NEXT TIME ON THE, ON THE OUTCOME OF THAT.
SO THANK YOU FOR, UH, YEAH, THANK YOU.
THANKS FOR BEING WILLING, BEING WILLING TO VERY MUCH.
WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.
ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? CURIOUS FIVE VOTE.
AGAIN, WATER IS, UM, PARAMOUNT TO EVERYTHING WE DO HERE.
I MEAN, IT'S BECOME A PRIORITY IN THIS COUNTY TO THE POINT THAT IT IT'S GONNA, IT'S AFFECTING GROWTH.
IT'S AFFECTING FUTURE GROWTH, CURRENT GROWTH.
AND, UM, UH, IF YOU WOULD, WE'D BE HONORED IF YOU, YOU BOTH WOULD COME UP.
IT'S, WE DON'T HAVE YOUR WHOLE BOARD, BUT WE DO HAVE A NEW MEMBER.
AND THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS, WE'D BE HONORED IF Y'ALL COME UP AND WE GET OUR PICTURE MADE WITH YOU, PLEASE.
[7.A. Proclaim April 2025 as Sexual Assault Awareness Month in Parker County. (Lisa Mehrhoff / Judge Deen)]
TO ITEM SEVEN A ON THE PROCLAMATION.APRIL, 2025 IS SEXUAL ASSAULT AWARENESS MONTH IN PARKER COUNTY.
WE COULDN'T SQUEEZE IT ON THE LAST AGENDA, BUT WE'RE, WE'RE HAPPY TO HAVE IT ON THIS ONE.
UH, LISA, IF YOU WOULD COME UP AND, GOOD MORNING.
UM, ACTUALLY I SUBMITTED THAT ON BEHALF OF FREEDOM HOUSE AND UNFORTUNATELY NONE OF THOSE LADIES ARE ABLE TO BE HERE TODAY.
THEY'VE GOT SOME TRAINING GOING ON.
UM, I JUST WANT TO, UH, PUT IT OUT THERE HOW IMPORTANT THEY ARE TO OUR COMMUNITY AND, UH, THE IMPORTANCE OF TALKING ABOUT THESE PROCLAMATIONS.
I KNOW SOMETIMES WE GET ALL THESE THINGS AND WE'RE SAYING, WHY DO YOU, BUT WE HAVE TO KEEP REMINDING PEOPLE ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING INVOLVED AND PARTICIPATING IN ACTIVITIES TO HELP MAKE EVERYONE SAFER.
AND CERTAINLY WE CAN CREDIT FREEDOM HOUSE WITH DOING THAT.
SO THEY STAYED BUSY LAST MONTH.
THEY HONORED ALL THE, UH, LAW ENFORCEMENT AND THE COUNTY PERSONNEL AND THE COURT SYSTEMS AND HAD A LUNCHEON FOR THEM AT THEIR FACILITY.
SO, UM, WE APPRECIATE ALL THEY DO AND WE APPRECIATE ALL YOU DO AND JUST KEEP IN MIND THAT WE HAVE TO KEEP TALKING ABOUT THESE THINGS BECAUSE THEY DON'T GO AWAY.
UM, JOHN, WOULD YOU LIKE TO, I I'M GONNA READ THE PROCLAMATION.
I'LL ASK YOU A FEW QUESTIONS AFTERWARDS AS WELL.
'CAUSE MY, MY OFFICE, UH, GETS PROTECTIVE ORDERS FOR INDIVIDUALS TO HELP PROTECT THEM.
ADDITIONALLY, WE DO THE CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES AND THERE'S THREE ATTORNEYS THAT WORK THOSE CASES.
AND THEY'RE FULL DAY 24 HOURS A DAY, DAY 24 7.
IT'S A POSITION THAT YOU DON'T LEAVE AT FIVE O'CLOCK.
IT TAKES INTO THE EVENINGS AND INTO THE WEEKENDS.
SO, SEXUAL ASSAULT AWARENESS MONTH, WHEREAS SEXUAL ASSAULT AWARENESS MONTH CALLS ATTENTION TO THE FACT THAT SEXUAL ASSAULT IS WIDESPREAD AND IMPACTS EVERY PERSON IN THE COMMUNITY.
SEXUAL ASSAULT AIMS AWARENESS MONTH AIMS TO RAISE PUBLIC AWARENESS ABOUT SEXUAL VIOLENCE AND EDUCATE OUR COMMUNITY ABOUT HOW BEST TO PREVENT IT.
SEXUAL ASSAULTS PREVALENCE IS BASED ON THE WIDESPREAD DEVASTATING ABUSE OF POWER.
ONE THAT AFFECTS PEOPLE OF EVERY AGE, RACE, GENDER, NATIONAL ORIGIN, SOCIOECONOMIC BACKGROUND, AND RELIGION.
SO, WHEREAS RAPE AND SEXUAL ASSAULT ARE HARMFUL WITHIN THE COMMUNITY, WITH OVER 53% OF WOMEN AND 29% OF MEN REPORTED EXPERIENCE SEXUAL VIOLENCE AT SOME POINT IN THEIR LIFETIME.
AND WHEREAS MOST WOMEN AND MEN EXPERIENCE CONTACT SEXUAL ASSAULT REPORT KNOWING THE INDIVIDUAL WHO HARMED THEM.
AND WHEREAS SEXUAL ASSAULT ABUSE PREVENTION MUST BE PRIORITY TO CONFRONT THE REALITY THAT, AND THIS IS IMPORTANT, ONE IN SIX BOYS AND ONE IN FOUR GIRLS WILL EXPERIENCE SEXUAL ASSAULT BEFORE TURNING 18.
[00:25:01]
32.9% OF ADULTS WITH INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES HAVE EXPERIENCED SEXUAL VIOLENCE AS WELL.WHEREAS 2025 MARKS THE 24TH ANNIVERSARY OF SEXUAL ASSAULT AWARENESS MONTH.
THIS THEME TOGETHER, WE ACT UNITED, WE CHANGE DRAWS ON INDIVIDUALS, COMMUNITIES, ORGANIZATIONS, AND INSTITUTIONS TO CHANGE THE SYSTEMS SURROUNDING US TO BUILD EQUALITY AND RESPECT WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY.
JOINTLY WE CAN PUBLICLY SUPPORT VICTIMS, SHARE EDUCATION INFORMATION ABOUT ASSAULT AND ONLINE HARASSMENT, AND TAKE A STRONG STANCE AGAINST VICTIM BLAMING COMMENTS.
NOW THEREFORE, IT BE NOTED BY THE COMMISSIONER'S COURT OF PORTER COUNTY, WHO HEREBY PROCLAIM THE MONTH OF APRIL AS SEXUAL ASSAULT AWARENESS MONTH, WE JOIN FREEDOM HOUSE AS THEY HELP SURVIVORS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT BY SUPPORTING THE ERADICATION OF SEXUAL ASSAULT THROUGH IMPROVING VICTIM SAFETY AND HOLDING PERPETRATORS ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS AND AGAINST MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY.
AND SO ALL THESE PROGRAMS ARE GREAT PROGRAMS, BUT WITHOUT AWARENESS AND THE KNOWLEDGE THAT THEY EXIST.
AND THAT'S WHY WE, WE HAVE THESE MONTHS AND SO INDIVIDUALS KNOW THESE SERVICES ARE AVAILABLE TO 'EM AND THERE'S HELP OUT THERE.
SO HOW MANY PROTECTIVE ORDERS DID WE HAVE THIS LAST YEAR AND HOW OFTEN DID THEY COME IN ON A WEEKLY BASIS? EVERY DAY, EVERY DAY.
UM, APPLICATIONS VERSUS FINAL PROTECTIVE ORDERS, WE HAD OVER 120 PROTECTIVE ORDERS.
SO, YOU KNOW, WE'RE DOING SEVERAL A WEEK, BUT, UM, EVERY SINGLE DAY, PROBABLY THREE TO FOUR PEOPLE, ACTUALLY JERRY TOLD ME THE AVERAGE WAS CLOSER TO SIX, COME IN ASKING FOR A PROTECTIVE ORDER.
THEY DON'T ALL MEET THE ELEMENTS, BUT THEY HAVE THINGS GOING ON THAT WE MAY NEED TO PURSUE ANOTHER AVENUE TO GIVE THEM HELP AND PROTECTION.
ANYTHING THAT WE CAN, YOU KNOW, TAKE ON FOR THEM.
WELL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND DON'T GO ANYWHERE.
UM, WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN AND A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER HOL.
ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? CURIOUS
YOU DO IT? IS HE GONNA BE ON THAT CHAIR PLACE? YES, YOU CAN DO IT.
[6.A. Introduction of Halie Bever and Kenny Lemons from Texas Association of Counties to discuss the upcoming Risk Management one-day conference hosted by Parker County and other training opportunities available through TAC. (Halie Bever / Kenny Lemons / Judge Deen)]

OKAY, WE WOULD, WE'RE GONNA MOVE TO ITEM SIX A ON THE INTRODUCTION OF HAILEY BEAVER AND KENNY LEMON FROM TEXAS ASSOCIATION OF COUNTIES TO DISCUSS THE UPCOMING RISK MANAGEMENT ONE DAY CONFERENCE HOSTED BY THE PARKER COUNTY AND OTHER TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE THROUGH TAC.

WHAT TO DO IF THEY COME INTO YOUR OFFICE.
UM, WE HAVE SEVERAL OFFICES SIGNED UP FROM AROUND THE COUNTY.

THERE'S A MORNING SESSION AND THERE'S AN AFTERNOON SESSION.
AND THEN ALSO, UM, AS Y'ALL HAVE ALREADY APPROVED EARLIER THIS YEAR, WE'LL BE HOSTING A ONE DAY RISK MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE WHERE WE'LL BE INVITING MULTIPLE COUNTIES ACROSS THE STATE.
UM, I'D LOVE TO BE HERE IN WEATHERFORD.
UM, SO MY NAME IS HALEY BEAVER.
I AM THE HR CONSULTANT FOR THE NORTHEAST REGION OF THE STATE FOR THE TEXAS ASSOCIATION OF COUNTIES.
[00:30:01]
WITH TAC FOR ABOUT THREE YEARS.AND PRIOR TO THAT I WAS A HR DIRECTOR FOR A EAST TEXAS COUNTY.
UM, AND THEN I STARTED MY CAREER IN HR IN THE CORPORATE WORLD AT AT AND T IN DOWNTOWN DALLAS.
SO THAT'S A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME.
UM, WHAT WE DO AT THE TAC RISK MANAGEMENT POOL IS WE PROVIDE COVERAGES FOR YOU GUYS, UM, FOR OUR COUNTIES TO PULL THEIR FUNDS TOGETHER TO PROVIDE COVERAGES.
AND WITH THOSE COVERAGES, FOR EXAMPLE, YOUR LAW ENFORCEMENT LIABILITY COVERAGE, YOUR PUBLIC OFFICIAL LIABILITY COVERAGE, AUTO AND PHYSICAL DAMAGE, PROPERTY COVERAGES AND WORKERS' COMP COULD ALL BE FUNNELED THROUGH US, RIGHT? UM, AS YOUR CARRIER.
AND WHAT WE WOULD DO THROUGH THAT BENEFIT IS PROVIDE YOU THOSE ONSITE TRAININGS, UM, THOSE ONE DAY, TWO DAY EVENTS THAT YOU GUYS CAN HAVE FREE OF CHARGE TRAINING HERE AT THE LOCAL LEVEL.
ABOUT A MONTH AND A HALF AGO I WAS WITH MS, UM, LIKE OUR COUNTY CLERK HERE, AND WE DID A OFFICE TRAINING JUST FOR HER OFFICE STAFF.
UM, SO I APPRECIATE YOU ALLOWING ME TO COME AND DO THAT FOR YOU.
I ALSO WANNA THANK YOU GUYS FOR ALLOWING US TO COME IN AND DO A ONE DAY, UM, TRAINING FOR OUR, WHAT WE CALL OUR REGIONAL CONFERENCE.
IT IS A COMBINED DISCIPLINE, UM, OF ONE DAY TRAINING.
SO YOU'LL HAVE AN HR TOPIC, A LEGISLATIVE TOPIC, A WORKERS' COMPENSATION TOPIC, A LAW ENFORCEMENT, AND A RISK MANAGEMENT COMP, UH, TOPIC.
SO I WILL RELEASE THE MIC TO KITTY AND LET HIM TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT, ABOUT HE DOES.
THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO, TO LET US KIND OF INTERRUPT YOUR MEETING.
I'M THE LA CONSULTANT FOR THE NORTHEAST REGION.
I'VE BEEN WITH TAC UH, SINCE NOVEMBER OF 2020.
AFTER COMING IN A CLOSE SECOND IN MY PRIMARY, I WAS THE FORMER SHERIFF IN CLAY COUNTY FOR 12 YEARS.
UM, RECENTLY COMPLETED 35 YEARS IN THE BUSINESS.
SO, UH, SHE EXPLAINED 99% OF WHAT I WAS GONNA SAY, BUT SHE DID A LOT BETTER JOB, I GUARANTEE YOU.
UH, BUT WHAT I DO IS, UH, PROVIDE, YOU KNOW, ADVICE AND TRAINING IN LAW ENFORCEMENT AREAS OF THINGS THAT I'VE SEEN DURING MY CAREER AND KIND OF PUT A, A SHERIFF'S ASPECT ON IT.
SO WHEN I'M STANDING IN FRONT OF THE SHERIFF'S FOLKS, UH, TRAINING THEM, I'VE GOT MY SHERIFF'S HAT ON AND I'M KIND OF REPRESENTING HIM, UH, AND ASKED IN AREAS OF LIABILITY AND RISK, NOT ONLY TO THE SHERIFF, BUT ALSO TO THE COUNTY.
FOR 12 YEARS I WAS VERY, VERY AWARE OF THE HOT SEAT AND I WAS IN IT, UH, TWO TIMES A MONTH FOR 12 YEARS.
SO RISK AND LIABILITY IS SOMETHING THAT I'M, UH, SPECIALIZE IN.
UH, BUT I GOTTA COMMEND THE SHERIFF.
AND ALL OF MY 56 COUNTIES THAT I DEAL WITH, PARKER COUNTY'S NOT ONE I DEAL WITH MUCH.
IT'S A VERY PROFESSIONALLY RAN ORGANIZATION AND VERY SELDOM, I MEAN, I COME IN, VISIT HIM ONCE IN A WHILE, NEVER NEED NOTHING.
THEY'RE TOPNOTCH, VERY PROFESSIONAL OUTFIT, AND I COMMEND IT VERY MUCH.
I'M GONNA PROVIDE SOME FIRST AMENDMENT AUDITORS TRAINING TO COURTHOUSE PERSONNEL.
IT'S A VERY UPCOMING LAWSUIT ORIENTED THING.
AND, UM, WE'LL GIVE YOU SOME GOOD TRAINING ON IT AND HELP YOU FIGHT OFF THOSE, UH, LAWSUITS.
SO, WE'LL THANK YOU AGAIN FOR MAKING THE TRIP UP AND THANK YOU FOR DOING WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

UM, WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO, BECKY, IF YOU WOULD COME UP, I KNOW IT'S UNORTHODOX, BUT I'M GONNA HAVE YOU DO THIS ANYWAY.
I HAD A CONVERSATION WITH YOU PRIOR TO THIS.
AND WOULD YOU MIND JUST SHARING THAT WITH THIS COURT? UM, I KNOW IT'S NOT COMMON, BUT THIS IS RELEVANT.
YEAH, THIS WAS HARD FOR ME, UH, TWO WEEKS AGO.
I'LL PROBABLY GET EMOTIONAL NOW.
THIS, I LIVE IN THIS COMMUNITY.
I'VE KNOWN THIS FAMILY MY ENTIRE LIFE, AND THESE ARE, THESE ARE GOOD PEOPLE AND I UNDERSTAND THE NAME SOUNDS SCARY AND, BUT, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE PERSONALLY LET THEM READ THE COMMENTS AND THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN SAID, YOU KNOW, ON FACEBOOK.
[00:35:01]
UM, I'M SURE THEY WOULD'VE BEEN HAPPY TO BE HERE TODAY.BUT, UH, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY JUST KIND OF AS TENSE AS IT'S BEEN.
YOU KNOW, THEY'RE, THEY'RE NOT GONNA DO THAT AND I WOULDN'T ASK THEM TO EITHER.
BUT, YOU KNOW, I WENT TO SCHOOL WITH THE ABDULLAH'S, UH, MY KIDS, YOU KNOW, CALL 'EM UNCLE GREG.
AND SO, UH, ANYWAY, THEY'VE DONE WHAT THEY LEGALLY NEED TO DO.
IF SOMETHING BAD WAS TO HAPPEN, THEY'RE GONNA CONTACT THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE AND THEY WOULD GO OUT THERE AND DO WHAT THEY'RE TRAINED TO DO.
UM, I DID ASK THE QUESTION, UM, LAST COURT, HOW MANY TIMES HAS, UM, CHIEF BARNETT IN HIS CAREER EVER BEEN OUT THERE AND HE COULDN'T THINK OF ONE TIME? AND SO AGAIN, YOU KNOW, THEY'VE MET THE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS.
I UNDERSTAND A LOT OF PEOPLE WANNA MAKE THIS POLITICAL, BUT, UM, I DON'T REALLY UNDERSTAND WHY IT'S POLITICAL.
COMMISSIONER, JUDGE, I THINK THERE'S SOME PEOPLE HERE IN THE AUDIENCE WHO PROBABLY ARE HERE TO SPEAK ON THIS.
UH, MR. GRAY, UH, I KNOW YOU ALWAYS COME TO THIS AND YOU LOVE SEEING US SO MUCH.
UM, DID YOU HAVE ANYTHING THAT YOU WANTED TO SAY ON THIS? I THINK WE'VE SPOKEN ABOUT THIS A LOT, AND SO NOT NECESSARILY A A TON TO SAY ABOUT IT, BUT I WILL SAY, JUST FOR THE RECORD, THAT I APPRECIATE, UM, THE WAY THE COURT HAS HANDLED THE COMMUNITY'S CONCERN ON THIS ISSUE.
AND, AND I SAID IT THE OTHER NIGHT IN A VERY LARGE ROOM WITH A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE REALLY CONCERNED THAT I THINK THE CONCERNS ARE WELL FOUNDED, AND I UNDERSTAND WHY THEY EXIST.
IF WE LOOK AROUND OUR NATION, WE LOOK AROUND OUR STATE, I UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE ARE CONCERNED AND IT, AND IT MAKES SENSE THAT THEY'RE CONCERNED.
UM, I ALSO HAVE HEARD THE TESTIMONY OF PEOPLE WHO KNOW THIS FAMILY AND, AND, AND BELIEVE THAT YOU KNOW, THOSE PEOPLE, THAT, THAT, THAT ALL OF THAT IS TRUE.
I, YOU KNOW, I DON'T WANNA TAKE ANYTHING AWAY FROM THEM OR ANYTHING ELSE.
I JUST, I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT CONCERN, THE CONCERN PEOPLE HAVE AND, AND WHAT'S HAPPENING.
AND, AND LIKE I SAY, I, I'LL SAY FOR THE RECORD, I REALLY APPRECIATE, UM, THE WAY THIS COURT HAS RESPONDED AND, AND THE THINGS THAT Y'ALL HAVE DONE TO JUST TAKE PRECAUTION TO MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT THOSE CONCERNS WERE, WERE MET WITH, UH, SOME DILIGENCE IN LOOKING AT EVERYTHING AND KIND OF UNDERSTANDING, UM, WHAT ALL, WHAT ALL WAS THERE FOR THE COURT AND WHAT WAS THERE FOR THE COMMUNITY AND, AND WHAT NEEDED TO BE DONE.
AND I THINK YOU GUYS HAVE, UH, DONE THAT AND MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION.
ANYBODY ELSE WOULD LIKE TO COME UP AND SPEAK ON THIS AGAIN, THIS IS A SECOND OR THIRD TIME.
SECOND DURING SECOND, SECOND TIME THAT WE'VE ALLOWED, IT'S AN IMPORTANT ISSUE.
COMMISSIONER HOLTON SAID, UM, YOU KNOW, TO HAVE YOUR VOICE AND, AND AS, AS BRADY HAS SAID, UM, IT'S YOUR COMMUNITY.
AND SO TO ADDRESS YOUR CONCERNS, WE WANT TO DO THAT.
AND THEN THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE AGAIN TODAY.
IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO COME UP AND SPEAK? COMMISSIONER, WHAT WAS YOURS? SURE.
SO FOR A QUICK RECAP, WE WERE APPROACHED BY THIS FAMILY WHO OPERATES UNDER THE ENTITY NAME ESTABLISHED IN 1985 OF MUSLIMS UNITED FOR PROGRESS.
THEY BOUGHT THIS LAND IN 1985.
THEY ARE CARVING OFF A TOTAL OF FOUR ACRES FOR TWO SEPARATE LOTS.
IT'S OUR UNDERSTANDING THAT THEY HAVE ADULT CHILDREN WHO GRADUATED FROM PEACE, ISD, WHO ARE MOVING BACK AND, UH, THEY'RE GONNA LIVE ON WHAT IS EFFECTIVELY THE FAMILY RANCH.
THERE HAVE BEEN SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT NONPROFIT STATUS.
WHY DO THEY HAVE AN AG EXEMPTION? ALL OF THAT I'VE PERSONALLY DRIVEN OUT THERE AND I HAVE PICTURES ON MY PHONE OF THEIR COWS AND FENCES AND AG EQUIPMENT AND ALL THAT.
SO THAT APPEARS TO BE IN ORDER.
UM, I WANNA ECHO MR. GRAY'S COMMENTS THAT THERE ARE THINGS GOING ON IN THIS COUNTRY AND ACROSS THE WORLD THAT I DON'T THINK ANYBODY IN THIS ROOM SUPPORTS WITH PLACES WHERE SHARIA LAW IS HEAVILY ENFORCED, UH, EPIC IN PLANO, PATTERSON, NEW JERSEY, DEARBORN, MICHIGAN.
THOSE THINGS ARE A THREAT TO OUR FREEDOMS UNDER OUR CONSTITUTION.
THOSE THINGS ARE A THREAT TO THE FREEDOMS IN THE BILL OF RIGHTS AND IN THE TEXAS CONSTITUTION.
THAT BEING SAID, IN MY OPINION, UNDER THE BILL OF RIGHTS AND UNDER THE TEXAS CONSTITUTION, THERE'S VERY CLEAR ESTABLISHMENTS OF FREEDOM OF RELIGION, FREEDOM OF POLITICAL IDEOLOGY, ET CETERA.
AND WE ALSO VALUE PERSONAL PROPERTY RIGHTS VERY HEAVILY IN TEXAS, VERY HEAVILY.
THERE HAVE BEEN A NUMBER OF SUBDIVISIONS THAT HAVE COME UP HERE THAT, IN MY OPINION, I DIDN'T THINK OUR INFRASTRUCTURE HAD THE ABILITY TO SUPPORT.
WE DIDN'T HAVE THE WATER, WE DIDN'T HAVE THE ROADS.
I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY'S SEEN OUR TRAFFIC LATELY, BUT IT'S, IT'S, IT'S PRETTY TOUGH.
[00:40:01]
OUR WATER SITUATION ISN'T GREAT.UM, IF WE HAD THE ABILITY TO DENY NEW SUBDIVISIONS ON A DISCRETIONARY BASIS, I THINK ALL OF US AS COMMISSIONERS WOULD'VE EXERCISED IT AT LEAST A COUPLE OF TIMES.
WHAT TEXAS LAW IS VERY CLEAR ABOUT IS IT SETS VERY DISCREET AND LIMITED REQUIREMENTS WHEN YOU DEVELOP NEW LAND.
IF SOMEBODY MEETS THOSE REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE ESTABLISHED AND LIMITED BY STATE LAW, THEN WE ARE EFFECTIVELY A CERTIFICATION PROCESS.
WE'RE NOT VOTING THAT WE LIKE THE NEW SUBDIVISION OR WE SUPPORT THE NEW SUBDIVISION.
INSTEAD, WE ARE CERTIFYING EFFECTIVELY UNDER OUR MINISTERIAL DUTY THAT THOSE REQUIREMENTS HAVE BEEN MET.
IT HAS BEEN EVERYTHING THAT I'VE SEEN FROM MR. FORREST, FROM MS TIER, FROM, FROM EVERYONE THAT WE'VE TALKED TO, THAT UNDER THIS PLAT, ALL OF THE OBLIGATIONS AS FAR AS THE INFORMATION THAT I HAVE, HAVE BEEN MET UNDER STATE LAW.
SO AGAIN, IN MY OPINION, I THINK THAT WE HAVE A CLEAR OBLIGATION BASED OFF OF THE INFORMATION I HAVE AND BASED OFF OF MY READING OF STATE LAW AND WHAT MR. FOREST HAS SAID AND OTHER FOLKS THAT THE OBLIGATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS HAVE BEEN MET.
SO WITH THAT, I AM GOING TO ASK MR. FOREST, MS. TIERS TO COME UP HERE AND LET'S GO THROUGH THE NORMAL PROCESS.
SO THIS IS GONNA BE A TOTAL OF 4.448 ACRES.
WE'RE GONNA BREAK IT UP INTO FOUR LOTS EACH LOT'S A LITTLE OVER ONE ACRE.
THEY DO HAVE ROAD ACCESS OFF OF RUSSELL BEND ROAD.
THEY'RE ALSO GONNA BE PUTTING IN, UM, AN EASEMENT THAT WILL BE NAMED WAHE PATH.
UH, THEY ARE GONNA DONATE ADDITIONAL RIGHT OF WAY OFF OF RUSSELL BEND ROAD IN TWO SECTIONS.
AND THE UPPER TRINITY HAS APPROVED THEIR WELL WATER.
IT'S BEEN TWO, IT'S FOUR ON PHASE TWO OR PHASE ONE AND PHASE TWO COMBINED.
MR. FORREST IS EVERYTHING IN ORDER.
AND THE DEVELOPER IN TEXAS SURVEYING COMPLETED THIS PROCESS FOR THE INDIVIDUALS ON THE PROPERTY.
SO, AND THEY COMPLETE QUITE A FEW PLATS THAT COME THROUGH OUR, OUR DEPARTMENT, OUR COURT, UH, THE TAX CERTIFICATES FOR THE DEVELOPER INDICATE ZERO BALANCES.
THE PERMITTING DEPARTMENT HAS APPROVED PRIVATE WATER AND PRIVATE WASTE DISPOSAL, AND ALL THE OTHER LEGAL REQUIREMENTS HAVE BEEN MET.
MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER HOLT, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN.
ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM? JUST A COUPLE OF THINGS.
I I THINK THERE'S CONFUSION, UH, FROM THE PUBLIC BECAUSE THEY, THEY SEE CITIES WHERE PEOPLE ARE, UH, YOU KNOW, CITIZENS, NEIGHBORS ARE ABLE TO COME UP AND SAY, WELL, WE DON'T WANT THIS BECAUSE IT INCREASES TRAFFIC, IT USES MORE WATER AND ALL THOSE THINGS.
THOSE ARE, THOSE ARE TOOLS THAT ARE NOT AVAILABLE TO US AS A COUNTY.
AND, AND TO ECHO WHAT, UH, COMMISSIONER HOLT SAYS THERE, THERE ARE MANY OF US THAT THAT MIGHT TURN DOWN A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF THE SUBDIVISIONS THAT ARE BROUGHT BEFORE THIS COURT.
THIS IS NOT AN OPTION IN THIS CASE.
AND, UH, THE BOTTOM LINE OF THIS IS THAT WE WE'RE LEGALLY REQUIRED TO PASS THIS, BUT ON ANOTHER, AND ANOTHER THING THOUGH IS THAT WHY ARE THEY SUBDIVIDING? THIS, THIS IS NOT A NEW SUBDIVISION WHERE THEY'RE GONNA BE SELLING LOTS.
IT'S THEIR FAMILY'S GONNA MOVE THERE.
AND THE BOTTOM, VERY BOTTOM LINE OF THIS WAS THEY, THEY COULDN'T GET 9 1 1 ADDRESSES WITHOUT GOING THROUGH THIS PROCESS.
AND SO THEY WERE, WERE REQUIRED TO, AGAIN, BY LAW, THAT'S THE ONLY REASON IT'S HERE.
OTHERWISE THEY'VE JUST BUILT THE HOUSES ON THEIR OWN PROPERTY, UH, AS FAMILY MEMBERS AND GONE ON DOWN THE ROAD WITHOUT, UH, SUBDIVIDING.
SO ANY COMMENTS, JOHN? AND SAME THING IF, IF IT'S A MUNICIPALITY, THEY HAVE ZONING AUTHORITY.
SO THERE'S SPECIFIC THINGS THAT A CITY CAN DO THAT A COUNTY CAN'T DO OUT IN THE UNINCORPORATED AREAS.
THE LEGISLATURE IS CONSISTENTLY MAKING IT STRONGER FOR PROPERTY LOT RIGHTS AS THEY SHOULD.
AND SO THAT'S KIND OF WHERE WE'RE AT THIS POINT, IS THEY ARE REQUIRED TO MEET THESE REQUIREMENTS.
IF THEY'RE DEFICIENT IN ANY MANNER, WE NOTIFY THEM OF THEIR DEFICIENCY WITHIN THE 30 DAYS, THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO THEN CORRECT THOSE DEFICIENCIES, BRING 'EM BACK TO COURT.
SO IT'S JUST A SYSTEMATIC DIVISION OF THAT PROPERTY? CORRECT.
AND THIS IS ALL TO BE SHARED ON ONE WATER WELL, CORRECT? YES, SIR.
WHICH IS PER THE OPPORTUNITY VERY CLEARLY WITHIN THE RULES AND LIMITATIONS OF THE UPPER TRINITY IS PUT ON IT.
AND WE DID GET APPROVAL FROM THE UPPER TRINITY FOR THE SHARING.
OKAY, WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.
IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM? ALL IN FAVOR.
[00:45:04]
MOTION PASSES FOUR TO ONE.WE'RE GONNA GO BACK TO ITEM D ONE ON INTERDEPARTMENTAL TRANSFERS OF EQUIPMENT INVENTORY REPORTS.

THIS WOULD BE A LEASE PURCHASE FOR $63,165 AND 98 CENTS FOR A YEAR, FOR FIVE YEARS.

UM, AND THE FUNDING HAS BEEN VERIFIED OUT OF THE PRECINCT'S
[00:50:01]
HEAVY EQUIPMENT LINE.I USE THIS, UH, TO OUR STAFF AND ALSO TO YOU FOLKS, UM, AS AN EXAMPLE OF HOW HAVING TO WORK THROUGH ONE OF THESE CO-OPS COSTS US MONEY BECAUSE IT WOULD BE CHEAPER IF WE DIDN'T, IF WE COULD JUST MAKE THIS TRADE WITHOUT GOING THROUGH SOURCE.
WELL, BUT BECAUSE WE'RE GOING THROUGH SOURCE, WELL, IT COSTS MORE MONEY FOR THE COUNTY TO DO THIS, BUT, AND THAT'S THE WAY IT IS.
THEY ARE, IT'S NOT, IT'S NOT SET UP TO SAVE THE COUNTY NOT TO SAVE.
I I UNDERSTAND THAT THEY ARE, I HAVE TWO.
THEY HAVE A SENATE BILL AND A HOUSE BILL RIGHT NOW, UM, IN COMMITTEE TO INCREASE THE, UH, THRESHOLD FROM 50,000 TO A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS.
BUT BECAUSE THIS FALLS UNDER A HEAVY EQUIPMENT, IT'S, I MEAN, WE SPEND THAT MUCH ON ONE ITEM.
SO IT'S JUST THE WAY THE, THE STATUTE'S SET UP COST US $3,000 EXTRA.
CASE MOTION IS MADE BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER HOLT.

MOVE TO ITEM FIVE A AND DISCUSS TAKE ACTION.ONGOING REPORT OF BOND PROJECTS WITH COMMISSIONER'S COURT BY P NICHOLS, CHRIS BOSCO, FREEZE NICHOLS.
UH, SO THE FIRST ITEM HERE IS THE MONTHLY REPORT, UH, FOR MAY.
UH, I'VE HAD THE C TIF FUNDING HERE WHERE THE, THE LAST REIMBURSEMENT, UH, WILL BE BRINGING TO COURT, UH, ON THE 27TH.
UH, SO THAT WOULD BE FOR THE ZION, UH, LOOP.
UH, SO FINALIZING, UH, THAT PAPERWORK, UH, I'M WORKING ON ADVANCED FUNDING AGREEMENTS FOR SEVEN 30 AND 1187.
UH, YOU KNOW, WE PRIOR DID THE ADVANCE FUNDING AGREEMENT FOR FM FIVE AND THEN GETTING THESE TWO IN PLACE, UH, FOR THE AGREEMENT WITH, WITH TECH STOCK.
UM, MORGAN AND I WERE GOING TO, UH, VISIT WITH EACH OF Y'ALL ON THE POWER BI.
UH, I THINK WE HAD, WE'D KIND OF DEMOED THAT, UH, BEFORE WE GOT IT FULLY, UM, UH, UH, LIVE WITH LIVE DATA.
AND SO WANTED TO COME KIND OF SHOW Y'ALL THAT THAT WILL GIVE Y'ALL KIND OF DIRECT ACCESS TO THE DAY-TO-DAY FINANCIALS OF THE BOND PROGRAM.
UH, ANOTHER ITEM IS, UH, WE'RE WORKING ON A UPDATE ON THE WEBSITE.
UH, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT'S COME TO OUR ATTENTION IS, UH, IT'S NOT REAL CLEAR FOR THE PUBLIC TO KIND OF SEE THE SCHEDULES.
WE, WE HAVE THE SCHEDULES IN THE MONTHLY REPORT, BUT, UH, I THINK A LOT OF FOLKS THAT ARE VISITING THE WEBSITE ARE, ARE TRYING TO GO TO EACH PROJECT AND SEE THAT DATA.
UH, SO WE'RE GONNA ADD IT THERE.
AND THEN IN ADDITION TO WHAT IS, UH, PART OF THE MONTHLY REPORT, UH, TO JUST IMPROVE THAT COMMUNICATION, UH, FOR THOSE USING THE WEBSITE.
UH, SO ON UPDATES, UH, THE PRECINCT.
SO HERE'S THE OVERALL MAP, AND I'LL KIND OF GO INTO EACH PRECINCT AND KIND OF TALK ABOUT THE PROJECTS THAT ARE, ARE NEXT TO ADVERTISE.
UH, SO IN PRECINCT ONE, UM, SO WE'RE STILL, I GUESS COMMISSIONER STEPPED OUT, BUT, UH, WE'RE WORKING ON THE RIGHT OF AWAY ON CHURCH.
UH, AND THAT PROJECT WE'RE, WE'RE PRETTY WELL, UH, SET ON THE DESIGN.
IT'S JUST GETTING THE PERMIT WITH TECH STOCK AND ACQUIRING THAT RIGHT OF WAY.
UM, MIDWAY ROAD IS THE NEXT ONE WE PLAN TO ADVERTISE AT THE END OF THIS MONTH.
UH, WE ACTUALLY HAVE THREE THAT, UH, SO THE NEXT ONE WE WANT TO ADVERTISE IS KELLY ROAD SOUTH.
UH, FOLLOW THAT THE FOLLOWING WEEK WITH MIDWAY.
AND THEN FOLLOWING THAT WOULD BE, UH, OAK RIDGE.
SO THEY'RE, THOSE ARE KIND OF THE, THE NEXT BID.
SO W AND WOODY, UH, OF COURSE Y'ALL HAVE AWARDED THAT.
WE HAD THE PRE-CONSTRUCTION MEETING.
UH, AND THEN THEY'RE, UH, PLANNING TO MOBILIZE AT THE 1ST OF JUNE.
WE'RE WORKING THROUGH THE, UH, THE RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITION'S.
JUST ONE PARCEL ON THAT, UH, PROJECT, UH, COMMISSIONER IS MENTIONING THAT WE'RE LOOKING TO ADVERTISE MIDWAY ROAD IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS.
[00:55:01]
COURSE ABOUT TO START CONSTRUCTION, BUT YOU HAD PREVIOUSLY ASKED ABOUT GETTING MIDWAY OUT TO BID.OH, THAT MIDWAY IS GONNA BE A DISASTER.
SO, UH, THE PLAN IS TO GET THAT ONE OUT TO BID IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS.
AND SO WE, WE WILL TECHNICALLY HAVE W AND WOODY AND MIDWAY GOING AT THE SAME TIME.
UH, IN, IN PRECINCT, UH, TWO, WE'RE, WE'RE STILL WORKING ON THE RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITION ON OAK RIDGE, BUT, UH, LOOKING, THAT'S THE ANOTHER ONE THAT WE'RE LOOKING TO ADVERTISE.
UH, I HAVE LATE MAY HERE, IT MIGHT BE THE FIRST WEEK IN JUNE.
BUT, UH, LIKE I MENTIONED, WE'RE TRYING TO GET, UH, SOUTH KELLY ROAD, THEN MIDWAY, THEN OAK RIDGE, KIND OF IN SUCCINCT WEEKS.
ONE REASON FOR THAT IS WE THINK, YOU KNOW, CONTRACT MAY BID ON SOUTH KELLY ROAD WOULD ALSO, UH, BID ON OAK RIDGE BEING, THOSE ARE BOTH CONCRETE JOBS, SO HAVING THEM KIND OF SPACED A COUPLE OF WEEKS ALLOWS THOSE CONTRACTORS TO, TO PUT BIDS IN ON BOTH.
UM, THE, UH, JOHNSON BEND AND, AND GREEN ACRES IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION.
UM, AND THEN WE'RE MOVING, UH, ON, UH, THE FM 51 AND CARTER ROAD LOOKING TO SUBMIT, UH, SECOND WEEK IN JUNE WILL BE OUR FIRST 30% SUBMITTAL ON THAT ONE.
UH, ON SEVEN 30, UH, HALF IS IS OF COURSE, UH, MOVING, MOVING WELL ON THAT JOB.
I DO HAVE A AMENDMENT FOR A TRAFFIC STUDY THAT I'LL GET INTO.
IT'S, UH, ANOTHER ITEM, UH, ON TODAY'S AGENDA TO ADD THAT TO THEIR SCOPE.
UH, AND THEN I'M CURRENTLY WORKING ON THE TRAFFIC STUDY WHERE, YOU KNOW, WITH, AND IT'S, IT'S REALLY SIMILAR TO THE SEVEN 30, BUT WITH THESE NEW ROAD EXTENSIONS, JUST SEEING HOW MUCH TRAFFIC WE ESTIMATE, WE WILL, UH, UTILIZE THOSE, UH, NEW ROUTES.
AND SO WORKING ON THAT, ON, UH, POJO ON, UH, PRECINCT THREE, UH, LOOKING TO BRING, UH, RICK WILLIAMSON, UH, TO AWARD ON THE 27TH, UH, AND THEN START CONSTRUCTION SHORTLY THEREAFTER.
THAT, UH, GRAHAM'S WORKING ON THE 95% PLANS.
UH, SO WE GOT THE COMMENTS BACK FROM TECH STOCK ON THE 60.
UH, THEY'RE ADDRESSING THOSE COMMENTS AND LOOKING TO SUBMIT THE 95% PLANS IN JULY.
UH, SO, YOU KNOW, WITH TECH STOCK YOU DO A 95% REVIEW IS, UM, IS KIND OF THE DISTRICT REVIEW AND THEN A HUNDRED PERCENT GOES TO AUSTIN.
UH, AND THEN ANOTHER ITEM FOR TODAY'S AGENDA IS CONSIDERATION FOR, UH, GETTING GRAHAM STARTED ON THE I 20 FRONTAGE ROADS, UH, TO DO THE SCHEMATIC ENVIRONMENTAL WORK.
UH, WE'RE LOOKING ON THE RIGHT OF WAY.
WE'RE DOING THE APPRAISALS AND LOOKING TO, UH, BRING THAT BEFORE COURT ON THE 27TH.
UH, THIS WOULD BE THE, THE PORTION THAT FROM VERNON AND DEAN TO, UH, 1187, UH, WERE UNDERWAY ON DESIGN ON THE BANKHEAD BRIDGE AND THE FM FIVE INTERSECTION, UH, THAT WERE PREVIOUSLY APPROVED, UH, AT THE LAST COURT.
UH, AND THEN ON OLD WEATHERFORD ROAD, UH, THEY'RE STILL WORKING THROUGH THE DRAINAGE WORK.
WE'VE BEEN HAVING COORDINATION WITH FORT WORTH 'CAUSE THERE IS A, A MAJOR WATERLINE ADJUSTMENT THERE THAT'S A FORT WORTH WATERLINE.
SO WE'RE COORDINATING WITH THEM ON THE TIMING OF THAT, UH, WORK.
UH, AND THEN, UH, TENON PERKINS IS DEVELOPING THE SCHEMATIC ON 1187 AND AS I MENTIONED ON KELLY ROAD, UH, WE'RE LOOKING TO ADVERTISE THAT ONE AT THE END OF NEXT WEEK.
UH, WE DID DO A TRAFFIC SIGNAL WARRANT STUDY AND HAVE SUBMITTED THAT TO TECH DOT FOR A SIGNAL THAT WOULD BE AT 3 77 IN KELLY ROAD.
UH, SO WE'LL PUT THIS ON THE WEBSITE AND AS I MENTIONED, UH, YOU'LL SEE HERE WE HAVE COURSE EVENTS, PROJECTS AND REPORTS.
UH, THESE REPORTS GO IN THE REPORTS SECTION, BUT WE'RE GONNA ADD THE SCHEDULES TO EACH INDIVIDUAL PROJECT FOR FOLKS THAT KIND OF NAVIGATE THE WEBSITE IN, IN THAT MANNER.
UH, SO WITH THAT, I'LL OPEN UP TO ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE.
WERE YOU ABLE TO TALK TO THAT DEVELOPER BLUE SHAW ON THE, THE CHURCH ROAD PROJECT? UH, Y YEAH.
SO, UM, YEAH, SARAH MADE A OFFER THERE AND HE'S WORKING ON A COUNTER OFFER THAT WILL BRING, UH, BACK TO YOU GUYS.
SO HE DIDN'T LIKE OUR OFFER OR WE'RE IT'S IN NEGOTIATED NEGOTIATE, YEAH.
I, I, HE, I, MY UNDERSTANDING IS HE DEFINITELY IS INTENDING TO COUNTER BUT HAVEN'T HEARD THE NUMBER.
AND, AND WHEN WILL WE KNOW THAT? UM, I, SO HE, HE ACTUALLY HAS 30 DAYS, BUT HOPING THAT WE COULD BRING THAT BACK TO EXECUTIVE SESSION IN THE NEXT COURT
[01:00:01]
AND THE DEAL WITH THE TDOT ON THE FOUR-WAY LIGHT, IS THAT STILL POSSIBLE? YES.SO THE, SO THEY, YEAH, THEY HAVE THE INTERSECTION THERE.
THEY'RE DOING THE SIGNAL AND SO WE'VE BEEN COORDINATING ON THEM WHERE, YOU KNOW, WHERE WE'RE KIND OF REALIGNING THAT.
UH, BUT THEY'LL STILL DO THE SIGNAL WORK THERE.
UH, AND SO WE'RE WORKING ON GETTING THAT PERMIT FOR US TO BUILD OUR PART.
I KNOW IT TAKES A LONG TIME FOR YEAH.
AND ONE THING I DIDN'T TOUCH ON, YOU KNOW, THEY, WE HAD FINALIZED THE PLANS FOR THE ONE AT STEWART AND SO THEY HAVE THAT KIND OF ON THEIR, I'M GETTING A LOT OF HEAT ON THAT ONE AT STEWART.
SO I MEAN, WE KEEP SAYING IT'S COMING AND SO THEY HAD IT FOR A, UH, SUMMER LETTING, UH, SO IT WOULD LIKELY BE CONSTRUCTED THERE IN LIKE OCTOBER TIMELINE.
SO THAT, THAT WOULD BE WHEN CONSTRUCTION WOULD START.
SO THEY'LL LET IT IN THE SUMMER.
I THINK IT'S A JULY LETTER AND THEN THE CONSTRUCTION WILL BE, 'CAUSE I'VE BEEN TELLING EVERYBODY IT'S GONNA START IN JULY, BUT NO, THE JULY IS ACTUALLY WHEN THEY'LL BID THE JOB BID.
YOU ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU, CHRIS.
UH, CHRIS MIGHT AS WELL WAS JUST SAYING, UM, DO YOU HAVE
[5.B. PRK21438 FM 920 Turn Lanes Change Order #2. (Kim Rivas / Judge Deen)]
ALSO PART B ON THAT ON PRK 21 4 3 8 FM NINE 20 TURN LANES CHANGE ORDER NUMBER TWO? YES, I KNOW KIM.SO THIS IS THE NINE 20 TURN LANES IN PRECINCT TWO.
UH, THIS IS A LEVEL UP CHANGE ORDER.
IT'S A CREDIT, UH, YOU KNOW, THE RE YOU KNOW, KIND OF REFRESH Y'ALL ON THIS IS WHEN WE CLOSE OUT A JOB.
YOU'RE, YOU'RE JUST, UH, LEVELING OUT THE PROJECT IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE.
THERE'S A CREDIT OF 17,000, UH, 711.
I'LL MAKE THE MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THIS.
HOLD A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER NEY IN DISCUSSION.
ALL IN FAVOR? YOU SAY CREDIT, THAT'S ALL YOU HAVE TO SAY.
I'M DISCUSS, TAKE ACTION ON AMENDMENT TO SEVEN 30.
DISCRETIONARY, BECAUSE THE OVERAGE ON THIS, WE HAVE TO USE DISCRETIONARY.
YOU SURE IT GOES, I SECOND THAT SECOND THAT YOU SURE IT GOES BACK TO TWO.
LET'S MAKE SURE THAT'S, LET'S MAKE SURE THAT'S PUT IN THE MINUTES.
LILA, LET'S, LET'S PUT THAT IN THE MINUTES PLEASE.
SO TO, TO CLARIFY IS WE, WE HAD A, A SET AMOUNT FOR THE PROJECT AND THEN THE ADDITIONAL COST WAS A PRECINCT TWO DISCRETIONARY.
THAT'S WHY BRIANNA IS MY FAVORITE.
[5.C. Discuss/Take action on Amendment to FM 730 Engineering Contract. (Chris Bosco / Commissioner Holt)]
C.DISCUSS TAKE ACTION ON AMENDMENT TO SEVEN 30 ENGINEERING CONTRACT.
SO THIS WOULD BE A, UH, CONTRACT AMENDMENT WITH HALF AN ASSOCIATES.
AND SO, UH, TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE BACKGROUND ON THIS IS WHEN, UH, WE WERE DOING THE CONTRACT WITH HALF, UH, AT THAT TIME, UH, TECH STOCK WAS WORKING ON A STUDY OF I 20 AND OF SEVEN 30.
SO THEIR SCOPE DID NOT INCLUDE THE TRAFFIC WORK 'CAUSE THE INTENT WAS WE WERE GOING TO BUILD, BASICALLY HALF WAS GONNA UTILIZE THE TRAFFIC WORK THAT TECH STOCK WAS DOING.
BUT SINCE NOW HALF IS AHEAD OF TECH STOCK, THEN, UH, WHAT WE'RE UH, ASKING TODAY IS TO ACTUALLY PUT THAT TRAFFIC WORK IN, UH, HALF'S CONTRACT.
SO IF, IF YOU LOOK AT THIS EXHIBIT, SO THEIR STUDY IS LOOKING AT ACTUALLY MULTIPLE INTERSECTIONS.
SO IT'D BE THE 180 INTERSECTION, CENTER POINT AND BANKHEAD.
AND THERE'D BE STUDYING, YOU KNOW, HOW MUCH TRAFFIC WE ANTICIPATE WE'LL UTILIZE THIS NEW ROUTE.
UH, ALSO, YOU KNOW, THERE'S TWO OPTIONS THERE WITH, UH, WITH THE ROAD.
SO THEY'LL BE STUDYING BOTH OPTIONS JUST TO KIND OF HELP INFORM WHAT'S THE BEST, UH, DESIGN AND LOCATION FROM A TRAFFIC STANDPOINT.
UH, SO THE, THE, UH, ADDITIONAL COST FOR THIS WORK IS 98,500.
SO THAT INCLUDES THEIR MANAGEMENT, UH, COLLECTION OF THE TRAFFIC COUNTS, THE ANALYSIS, AND THEN THEY'LL HAVE A REPORT THAT THEY'LL PROVIDE TO, TO THE COUNTY AND TECH STOCK FOR APPROVAL.
ONE, DO WE HAVE THE MONEY IN OUR BOND FUNDING TO PAY FOR THIS? YES.
LIKE THIS WAS ORIGINALLY THIS SCOPE WE ORIGINALLY ANTICIPATED, UH, THE CONSULTANT TO DO, BUT WHEN WE THOUGHT TEX STOCK WAS GONNA DO IT, WE WERE TRYING TO SAVE THAT COST.
BUT NOW WE'RE REQUESTING THAT IT BE ADDED.
AND THE SECOND QUESTION IS, IT SOUNDS LIKE THIS IS DUE TO US MOVING FASTER THAN TXDOT FROM A VERY BASIC LEVEL.
'CAUSE THEY, YOU KNOW, THEY'VE KIND OF SLOWED THE, THE TIMING OF THEIR WORK ON I 20.
AND SO THAT'S, THAT'S JUST REALLY KIND OF TRIGGERED THIS.
[01:05:01]
IF, IF, AND I KNOW IT'S NOT EXPECTED, BUT IF IT HAPPENS THAT TDOT RAMPS BACK UP OR WE HIT A DELAY IN OURS AND TEXDOT DOES HAVE THE ABILITY TO PROVIDE THAT INFORMATION, CAN WE RECOUP THIS IF THAT WERE TO OCCUR? I, I WOULD THINK FROM A TIMING STANDPOINT, 'CAUSE THEY'RE GONNA IMMEDIATELY START THIS.UH, SO ALL LIKELIHOOD HALF WILL ALREADY COMPLETED THE WORK.
MOTION SHALL MOVE BY COMMISSIONER HOLT SECOND BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN.
ANY OF DISCUSSION FOLLOW CURIOUS IF I VOTE? MOVE TO ITEM
[5.D. Discuss/Take action on Engineering Contract for 1-20 Frontage Road Schematic Design. (Chris Bosco / Commissioner Walden)]
D, DISCUSS TAKE ACTION ON ENGINEERING CONTRACT FOR I 20 FRONTAGE ROADS MATIC DESIGN.UM, SO I'M GONNA SHOW YOU THE EXHIBIT FIRST.
SO, UH, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT WHAT WERE TWO DIFFERENT PROJECTS, UH, THAT WE'RE, UH, SEEING AS ONE 'CAUSE IT'S MORE COST OF WAY TO DO THE JOB.
SO THIS IS THE, UH, FRONTAGE ROAD IMPROVEMENTS, UH, AND RAMPS, UH, BETWEEN DENNIS ROAD AND OLD DENNIS ROAD OR SOUTH BOWIE, UH, WITH RICK WILLIAMSON THERE IN THE MIDDLE.
AND SO, UM, EARLIER THIS YEAR, Y'ALL SELECTED, UH, GRAHAM, UH, FOR THIS WORK, UH, ALMOST IN A SIMILAR SITUATION AS 51.
AT THE TIME THEY WERE SELECTED, UH, TECH STOCK WAS ACTUALLY GONNA DO THE SCHEMATIC ENVIRONMENTAL.
AND THE INTENT WAS THAT, UH, GRAHAM WOULD DO THE FINAL DESIGN OF THESE SECTIONS, HOWEVER, THOSE PROJECTS WERE PUT ON HOLD.
UH, AND SO WE'VE BEEN TALKING TO TECH STOCK ABOUT GOING AND HAVE GRAHAM MOVE FORWARD WITH THESE.
UH, SO WHAT THIS CONTRACT WOULD BE IS THAT GRAHAM WOULD DO, UH, THE SCHEMATIC WORK AND, UH, TRAFFIC STUDIES, THE ENVIRONMENTAL WORK, THE THINKING IN OUR CONVERSATIONS WITH TECH STOCK IS THAT THEY'LL LIKELY JUST BUILD THE FRONTAGE ROADS AND THEN THE STATE WILL DO, UH, THE RAMPS AND THEN THE MAIN LANE IMPROVEMENTS.
UH, HOWEVER, IN THEIR SCOPE, THEY'RE GONNA STUDY IT ALL AND IDENTIFY EXACTLY WHERE THE RAMPS WILL BE SO THAT THERE'S NO, YOU KNOW, WASTE THERE.
UH, AND SO WHAT, WHAT WE HAVE TODAY WOULD BE, UM, APPROVAL OF A CONTRACT FOR GRAHAM TO DO ALL THE SCHEMATIC WORK.
THE TRAFFIC STUDIES INCLUDES THE DRAINAGE STUDIES, AS YOU SAW ON THOSE MAPS.
THERE'S QUITE A BIT OF DRAINAGE IN THAT AREA, UH, AS WELL AS THE ENVIRONMENTAL, UH, THEIR FEE FOR THAT WORK IS 1,758,220.
UH, ANOTHER ITEM HERE WOULD BE THE, THE MANAGEMENT THAT WE WOULD DO AT FREEZE AND NICHOLS AND, AND MANAGING AND REVIEWING THEIR WORK.
UH, THAT COSTS FOR, UH, FREEZE AND NICHOLS WOULD BE 1 34, 5 40.
UH, AND SO THE TOTAL COST OF THE COMBINE, UH, THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR, UH, APPROVAL WOULD BE 1 MILLION 892 7 60.
THAT INCLUDES BOTH THE WORK HALF'S DOING AND THE WORK THAT WE WOULD DO.
SO COVER WHERE THE FUNDING COMES FROM.
UH, YEAH, SO THIS WAS ALL PART OF THE BOND.
SO WE HAD, UM, BASICALLY BOTH AS TWO DIFFERENT PROJECTS.

[7.H. Discuss or take action on a membership application for the NCTCOG Executive Board. (Commissioner Holt)]
ITEM H FROM DISCUSSED.YOU TAKE ACTION ON THE MEMBERSHIP OBLIGATION PER THE COUNCIL, NORTH CENTRAL TEXAS COUNCIL OF GRUMMAN'S EXECUTIVE BOARD.
COMMISSIONER, YOU PUT IT ON THE AGENDA.
SO I WAS APPROACHED BY, UM, A FEW DIFFERENT FOLKS ON THE, UH, NORTH CENTRAL TEXAS COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENT EXECUTIVE BOARD TO ASK ME TO PUT IN AN APPLICATION FOR IT.
UM, I WANTED TO BRING THIS UP TO THIS COURT.
I DON'T THINK IT REQUIRES COURT ACTION PER SE, BUT I FELT LIKE IT WAS RESPECTFUL AND APPROPRIATE TO MENTION IT TO Y'ALL TO KIND OF GET Y'ALL'S BLESSING TO PUT MY NAME IN THE HAT, SO TO SPEAK.
SO, UH, THIS IS A 17 MEMBER EXECUTIVE BOARD FOR NET COG AND I WOULD BE HONORED TO REPRESENT PARKER COUNTY IF I WERE PICKED THOSE 17.
PICK WHO SOMEBODY FROM OUR DISTRICT OR WHAT.
SO THEY HAVE DIFFERENT PROFILES FOR THE POPULATION SIZE ON THE NUMBER OF BOARD SEATS.
SO A CERTAIN NUMBER OF BOARD SEATS HAVE TO COME FROM CERTAIN SIZE COMMUNITIES.
THEY WERE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE FROM A COUNTY WITH I THINK 85,000 TO 300,000.
AND WE FIT RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT IF IM IF I RECALL THE NUMBERS CORRECTLY.
SO I WAS APPROACHED TO PUT MY NAME IN THE HAT FOR THAT POSITION AND I WOULD BE HAPPY TO DO SO.
I'D BE HAPPY TO REPRESENT US, BUT ALSO WANTED TO RUN IT BY THIS COURT AND MAKE SURE EVERYBODY WAS ON THE, ON THE SAME PAGE AND THAT THERE WERE NO OBJECTIONS.
UH, JUST TO KIND OF CLARIFY TOO, UH, YOU'RE CORRECT COMMISSIONER, THERE'S NO ACTION BEING REQUIRED.
UM, IT'S KIND OF THE IRONY OF IT IS WE SUBMITTED MY NAME AND I'M ON THE RTC AND I'D BEEN, UM, ALSO ASKED TO, UH, PUT MY NAME IN IT.
SO IT'S NOT A BAD THING TO HAVE TWO PEOPLE FROM A COUNTY ON THERE BECAUSE WE'RE COMPETING WITH, WHEN YOU BREAK OUT THE POPULATION NUMBERS THAT YOU MENTIONED, WHERE IT'S ACTUALLY EITHER 10 OR 11 COUNTIES THAT WE'RE ACTUALLY COMPETING WITH.
AND SO THEY DON'T SELECT BY COUNTY, THEY SELECT BY INDIVIDUAL.
AND SO HOPEFULLY ONE OF THE TWO, UH, WILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY BECAUSE WE'RE REPRESENTED ON THE RTC, ON THE TARN REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION COALITION.
UH, BUT BEING ON THE BOARD WITH COG, THAT WOULD BE A REAL FEATHER IN PARKER COUNTY'S HAT BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF CHANGES THAT ARE OCCURRING WITH THE MANAGEMENT OF THAT THAT'LL AFFECT THE RTC.
SO IT WOULD BE GOOD TO HAVE A, A MEMBER OF PARKER COUNTY ON THAT BOARD.
SO, UH, WE'LL KEEP THE, UH, COURT UP TO DATE WITH WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THAT.
UH, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO ADD TO THAT? HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
WHEN ARE THEY GONNA PICK THIS INDIVIDUAL? UH, PRETTY QUICK WITHIN PROBABLY
[01:15:01]
10 DAYS.SO I'M GUESSING, I'M GUESSING WE HAVE TWO PEOPLE ON THIS COURT THAT ARE APPLYING FOR THIS JOB, IN ESSENCE.
WHO'S, WHO SELECTS, WHO'S THE
THOSE 17 PEOPLE HE MENTIONED WHILE AGO, I BELIEVE PETE, THEY THEY DO, YEAH.
AND THEY'RE FROM ALL OVER NORTH TEXAS.
UH, THOSE 17 PEOPLE? THAT'S CORRECT.
SO I DON'T, I GUESS WE NEED A MOTION TO APPROVE.
YEAH, I ASKED THEM IF WE NEEDED A COURT ACTION.
UM, BUT I FELT LIKE IT WAS APPROPRIATE TO MENTION THIS TO Y'ALL.
I THINK IT'D BE FANTASTIC TO HAVE SOMEBODY FROM PARKER COUNTY ON THAT BOARD FOR SURE.
ESPECIALLY WITH, THERE'S KIND OF BEEN A REORGANIZATION OF THEIR MANAGEMENT, UM, FOR EFFICIENCIES AND ALSO THE IMPACT OF HOW THEY INTERACT WITH THE RTC.
IT'S GONNA BE AN IMPORTANT POSITION.

SO I'VE, I'VE SPOKEN WITH A FEW PEOPLE WHO ARE ON THIS COMMITTEE AND I THINK IT WAS MENTIONED, UM, LAST WEEK THAT THEY FELT LIKE WE DID NOT NEED TO ADD SOMEONE ELSE.
BUT I DID WANT TO BRING IT UP TO THE COURT SINCE THE COURT FORMED THE COMMITTEE IN THE FIRST PLACE AND PUT THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE ON THERE.
AND IT'S, IT'S AFTER, AFTER TALKING WITH SEVERAL FOLKS INVOLVED, I DON'T HAVE A RECOMMENDATION, A STRONG RECOMMENDATION ON ADDING ANYBODY.
UM, I WANTED TO ADD BRIANNA, BUT I THINK SHE WOULD'VE SLASHED MY TIRES 'CAUSE SO WHO DROPPED OFF? MISS SHIRLEY? HUH? SHIRLEY.
SO, UM, MY RECOMMENDATION I GUESS AT THIS POINT IS UNLESS WE STRONGLY FEEL THE NEED TO ADD SOMEBODY ELSE, LET'S LEAVE IT AS IS, BUT ALSO WANTED TO BRING IT UP TO THE COURT.
SO I GUESS THAT'D BE TAKE NO ACTION.
