WE CAN TAKE ANY ACTION THE COURT DEEMS NECESSARY.

LISA. GOOD MORNING.

NATIONAL CRIME VICTIMS RIGHTS WEEK HAS BEEN IN PLACE FOR 40 YEARS, AND THE IDEA BEHIND IT IS THAT THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO RECOGNIZE OUR ADVANCEMENTS FOR VICTIMS AND THE NEED TO CONTINUE TO LISTEN AND ACT ON WHAT THEY'RE TELLING US.

OUR SERVICES HAVE COME LEAPS AND BOUNDS FROM WHAT THEY WERE EVEN JUST 19 YEARS AGO WHEN I STARTED TO WORK HERE. SO WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEND A WEEK HONORING VICTIMS OF CRIME AND LETTING THEM KNOW THAT PARKER COUNTY IS SERIOUS ABOUT CRIME.

AND WE ARE LISTENING, ACTING, AND ADVOCATING FOR THEM.

THAT'S THE THEME THIS YEAR.

AND IF ANY OF YOU WANT A LITTLE POSTER TO HANG IN YOUR OFFICE, I'LL BRING THEM TO YOU.

BUT THAT IS THAT'S THE SAME WEEK THAT THE COUNTY ATTORNEY RECOGNIZES HIS ART CONTEST.

IT'S ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE THE YOUNGEST OF OUR POPULATION INVOLVED IN VICTIMS RIGHTS

[00:10:07]

THANK YOU FOR THAT. IF YOU WOULD.

BEFORE WE DO THE NEXT ITEM ON THE ART CONTEST AS WELL, CALL THEM BOTH UP. SURE.

AND THE WHICH ONE IS THAT, JOHN? OH. I'M SORRY. YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT ON THAT.

BEFORE WE HAVE HER COME UP, WE'RE GOING TO DO THE ITEM C ON THE PERMISSION TO USE THE ANNEX BUILDING FOR THE 16TH ANNUAL PARKER COUNTY ATTORNEY'S SCHOOL ART CONTEST THE WEEK OF APRIL 19TH THROUGH 25TH, 2026, AND TAKE ANY ACTION THE COURT DEEMS NECESSARY.

I HAVE BRANDI ALAPONT, ONE OF MY ATTORNEYS HERE.

SHE ACTUALLY BEGAN THIS PROJECT SEVERAL YEARS AGO.

IF YOU COULD SAY A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE ART PROJECT AND HOW IT BEGAN AND PUT YOU ON THE SPOT. GREATLY APPRECIATE IT.

YEAH, I'LL GO WITH THE WHAT WAS IT, 17 YEARS AGO? YES, 17 YEARS AGO. I BELIEVE THAT MISS MEYERHOFF HERE GOT A LETTER FROM GOVERNOR.

WHICH GOVERNOR WAS IT? HE WAS THE AG AT THE TIME.

OH, THAT'S RIGHT, GOVERNOR. WELL, IT WAS GOVERNOR ABBOTT NOW, BUT AG ABBOTT THAT WANTED TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT PARKER COUNTY WAS DOING IN ORDER TO BRING ATTENTION TO CRIME VICTIMS RIGHTS WEEK.

AND SO TOGETHER, I THINK WE CAME UP WITH THIS COOL ART CONTEST.

WE GOT IT GOING WITH THE APPROVAL OF JOHN FORREST, WHO HAS SUPPORTED THIS LONG, LONG, LONG, LONG PAST.

LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR, ALL OF THE ABBOTS INTEREST IN IT.

AND IT HAS GROWN AND DEVELOPED AND MISS MEYERHOFF HAS KEPT THIS THING GOING FOR 17 YEARS, AND I'M GLAD TO BE BACK AND I'LL HELP WITH WHATEVER NEEDS TO BE DONE.

AND THE KEY POINT OF THAT IS IT'S, IT'S RAISED AWARENESS FOR OUR YOUTH FOR 17 YEARS AND BROUGHT THAT ALONG.

SO JUST A, A GOOD PROGRAM FOR OUR COMMUNITY AND A GOOD PROGRAM FOR THE COURT THAT HAS SUPPORTED ALL THAT TIME AS WELL.

THE, I DO WANT TO SAY I AM VERY GRATEFUL TO ALL OF YOU FOR ALLOWING US TO COME UP HERE EVERY YEAR AND AND TALK ABOUT IT, BECAUSE THEN WE'RE PUTTING THIS INFORMATION OUT THERE ABOUT NATIONAL CRIME VICTIMS RIGHTS WEEK.

OKAY, LET'S DO IT TWICE.

TWICE. EAST. TWICE. I.

OH, MY GOODNESS. JUST DROPPED OFF. ALL RIGHT.

THREE. OKAY. THANKS. YOU'RE TOO COMFORTABLE THERE, I KNOW. YEAH. SHE DOESN'T WANT THAT DOWN.

OH, THAT WAS. THANK YOU.

YEAH. WHEN THAT TAIL WAGGING, YOU'LL NEVER YOU'LL NEVER GET IT. ALL YOU DO THERE. THANK YOU. YOU WANT A POSTER? DO I GET TO SHARE MY SEAT NOW? NO. YOU GOT TO GO DOWN.

YEAH. SHE GOT HER NAILS DONE.

THANK YOU.

I'M GONNA DO CRICKET. AND THEN WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO THEN? YEAH.

OKAY. WE'RE GOING TO MOVE DOWN TO ITEM SEVEN E ON DISCUSS.

[7.E. Discuss/Take action regarding the cost methodology for billing other political subdivisions/entities for election services provided by the County. (Crickett Miller/ Judge Deen) ]

GOOD MORNING. THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME ON ABOUT THIS.

SO WHEN I CAME IN 2020, I DIDN'T KNOW HOW WE BUILD.

SO I JUST WAS TOLD THIS IS WHAT WE BUILD FOR.

SO THEN WITH BRIANNA, WE'VE TALKED BACK AND FORTH THAT WE REALLY NEED COMMISSIONERS COURT TO APPROVE HOW WE BILL FOR OUR ELECTIONS.

MOST OF IT IS STATED IN THE LAW.

IT TELLS US EXACTLY. WE BILL WHATEVER THE EXPENSES ARE.

NOW FOR LIKE THE ELECTION WORKER PAY, WE DO A PERCENTAGE.

SO HOW MANY REGISTERED VOTERS YOU HAVE IS THE PERCENTAGE THAT YOU WILL ACTUALLY BE BILLED FOR THAT PART. NOW FOR THE ELECTION EQUIPMENT THAT WE LET THE THAT LET THE ENTITIES USE.

THAT'S THE PART THAT YOU AS A COURT NEED TO TELL ME WHAT WE NEED TO CHARGE.

SO RIGHT NOW, WHAT WE DO IS WE DO A FLAT FEE OF $1,000 FOR EVERY ENTITY, NO MATTER WHAT SIZE THEY ARE.

SO WHAT WE'VE, WHAT I'VE GIVEN YOU IS A BREAKDOWN IS IF WE CHARGE 1%, 3%, 5%, OR IF WE DO JUST THE FLAT FEE.

I'VE TOLD YOU WHAT OTHER ENTITIES I MEAN, WHAT OTHER COUNTIES ARE DOING, BUT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT Y'ALL NEED TO TELL ME.

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO CHARGE? CRICKET, YOU'RE IN THE WEEDS ON THIS ALL THE TIME.

YOU'RE THE MOST FAMILIAR WITH THIS OUT OF ALL OF US.

SO I THINK IT'D BE REMISS IF WE DIDN'T ASK YOU.

WHAT DO YOU THINK AN APPROPRIATE GIVEN WHAT WE'VE DONE ALL ALONG? YES. YOU KNOW, IF WE GO FROM WHAT WE'VE DONE ALL ALONG, WHICH IS PROBABLY LOW.

YES. TO THE HIGHEST RANGE OF THE SPECTRUM.

THAT'S PROBABLY NOT THE BEST IDEA, RIGHT? WHAT DO YOU FEEL LIKE? WHAT WOULD YOUR RECOMMENDATION BE AS TO AN APPROPRIATE JUMP? WITH SPEAKING WITH BRIANNA AND AND OUR OFFICE STAFF AND EVERYTHING, 3% IS WHAT WE'RE SAYING.

DUE TO THE FACT THAT OTHER COUNTIES, THAT'S WHAT THEY CHARGE.

AND THIS IS FOR A ONE TIME FEE THOUGH, BECAUSE YOU CAN BUY THE LAW IS WE CAN CHARGE 10% OF THE EQUIPMENT THAT WE PURCHASE PER DAY, WHICH SEEMS UNREASONABLE. IT IS.

IT'S A HUGE AMOUNT. YOU COULD HAVE THE EQUIPMENT PAID FOR WITHIN A COUPLE OF ELECTIONS, WHICH IS NOT RIGHT.

SO WE WANT IT TO BE EQUITABLE FOR EVERY ENTITY THAT WE BUILD.

SO YOU'RE SAYING 3% PER ELECTION PER ELECTION.

NOT PER DAY. NO. PER ELECTION.

THAT IS WHAT WE RECOMMEND.

SO HOW'S THAT GOING TO AFFECT SOME OF THESE SMALLER ENTITIES.

JUST GIVE US AN EXAMPLE.

IT'S STILL GOING TO BE BY THE REGISTERED VOTERS.

SO IT'S NOT GOING TO AFFECT THEM MUCH.

MOST OF THEM ON THAT ONE, LIKE GRANBURY ISD.

IF YOU DID 3%, THAT'S $150.

WHEREAS RIGHT NOW WE'RE CHARGING THEM $1,000.

SOME OF THEM LIKE, YOU KNOW, THE LARGER ONES.

SD ONE IT'D BE $11,000, WHEREAS NOW THEY'RE PAYING 1000.

SO ALSO WITH THIS BEING SAID, SOME OF THESE IT WILL BE A LARGER EXPENSE.

SO WE'RE WANTING TO GET THIS TO THEM BEFORE THEY START THEIR BUDGET PROCESS AND NOT START BILLING IN THIS PRICE RANGE UNTIL MAY OF 2027.

I MOVE WE APPROVE THE 3% INCREASE.

[00:20:03]

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION FOR CRICKET.

CRICKET. THAT'S THE JUMP THAT YOU RECOMMEND RIGHT NOW.

DO YOU FORESEE US NEEDING TO COMMUNICATE TO THESE OTHER ENTITIES? HEY, THIS IS WHAT WE'RE DOING NOW. BUT IN THREE YEARS, TWO YEARS, FIVE YEARS, EXPECT THAT TO GO UP A LITTLE BIT.

WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THAT? THE ONLY THING IS, IS THE MACHINES. UNLESS WE START PURCHASING MORE OR NEWER.

IT SHOULD BE FINE FOR A WHILE.

I MEAN, YOU'VE BEEN CHARGING THIS $1,000 SINCE 2019.

SURE. SO I DON'T SEE RIGHT NOW THAT WE SHOULD TELL THEM THAT IT'S GOING TO BE INCREASING.

SO IF ONE OF THEM CALLS US, WE CAN TELL THEM THAT THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT WE INTEND TO JUMP EVERY YEAR.

THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH FOR A WHILE. CORRECT? YES, SIR. I THINK THE OTHER SIDE OF IT IS THAT THAT SOME OF THESE SMALLER ENTITIES HAVE BEEN PAYING TOO MUCH, AND THE LARGER ENTITIES HAVE NOT BEEN PAYING ENOUGH. AND SO YOU CAN LOOK AT IT BOTH WAYS.

THE LARGER ENTITIES HAVE BEEN GETTING A BARGAIN FOR A LONG TIME.

AND SO NOW THEY'RE PAYING ACTUALLY FOR SOMETHING NEAR THE COST OF WHAT IT SHOULD BE.

YES. SO I'M IN AGREEMENT.

YEAH. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE.

OPPOSED? I'M CURIOUS BY VOTE.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH.

AND THAT ONE SHEET I WANTED TO TELL YOU THAT IT SHOWS A BREAKDOWN ON THE VERY FRONT.

AND BRIANA AND SHARON, WHO'S NOT WITH US ANYMORE, BUT SHE WAS VERY GOOD AT HELPING THIS BECAUSE IT TELLS YOU EXACTLY WHERE IN THE LAW.

IT SAYS THAT THE AMOUNT THAT WE CHARGE AND HOW WE CHARGE THAT.

SO YOU'RE GOING TO GO ABOUT NOTIFYING THESE FOLKS.

IT'S GOING TO COST THEM MORE MONEY OR CORRECT OR LESS MONEY.

YES, SIR. OKAY. YES. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. OKAY. WE'RE GOING TO MOVE DOWN TO ITEM NINE ON EXECUTIVE SESSION IN ACCORDANCE

WE'LL MOVE TO O ON DISCUSS THE MOTOROLA PROPOSAL FOR SAVINGS ON ACCESS CONSOLE

[7.O. Discuss/Take action on Motorola Proposal for savings on AXS Console replacements at the PCSO. (James Caywood I Judge Deen) ]

AS FAR AS THIS, I'VE INVITED MOTOROLA HERE AND LIEUTENANT OVERHOLT OVER DISPATCH.

THIS IS SOMETHING WE WERE LOOKING AT.

BUDGETING NEXT OCTOBER TO REPLACE THE RADIO CONSOLES TO THE NEW VERSION DUE TO END OF LIFE COMING UP. SO THEY HAVE A PROPOSAL THEY'D LIKE TO PRESENT TO THE COURT ON POTENTIAL SAVINGS. DO YOU NEED THIS ON? YES, IF I CAN. I JUST HAVE A EIGHT SLIDE PRESENTATION I'D LIKE TO PRESENT TO YOU GUYS.

KIND OF DO A QUICK OUTLINE AND JUST HIGHLIGHT SOME OF THE PROPOSALS AND DISCUSS SOME OF THE NUMBERS WITH YOU. SO GOOD MORNING, JUDGE DEAN AND COMMISSIONERS.

I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME THIS MORNING. ALLOW ME TO PRESENT TO YOU GUYS ON THIS ACCESS CONSOLE MIGRATION PROPOSAL.

I'D LIKE TO START OFF WITH A QUICK INTRODUCTION OF MY TEAM AND MYSELF.

MY NAME IS JONATHAN CASTELLA AND I AM THE MOTOROLA MR. ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE FOR PARKER COUNTY.

I HAVE WITH ME TODAY MY COLLEAGUES, LAUREN KIRKLEY, WHO'S THE MOTOROLA ACCOUNT ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE FOR PARKER COUNTY, AND MY ADA AS A PART OF THE PARKER COUNTY TEAM, AS WELL AS BRAD RICE, THE TERRITORY SIX AREA SALES MANAGER FOR MOTOROLA. MOVING ON TO THE OUTLINE, I'D LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT WHAT A DISPATCH CONSOLE IS AND THE IMPORTANCE OF A CONSOLE.

THE EXISTING HARDWARE IN THE CURRENT MODEL, THE CONSOLE THAT THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE IS CURRENTLY OPERATING ON AS WELL AS THE LIFECYCLE HARDWARE, EXCUSE ME, THE LIFECYCLE HISTORY OF THAT CONSOLE PLATFORM AND THE NEW PROPOSAL CONSOLE PLATFORM. IT'S FEATURES, ENHANCEMENTS, AND WHY WE'RE SUGGESTING TO MOVE OVER TO IT. AND FINALLY, THE PRICING SUMMARY AS WELL.

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO STOP ME AT ANY POINT. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'LL BE MORE THAN

[00:30:01]

ITS PRIMARY FOCUS IS TO COMMUNICATE WITH FIELD PERSONNEL WHILE MANAGING AND MONITORING EMERGENCY RESPONSES. THESE RESPONSES RANGE DEPENDING ON THE AGENCY AND ITS FUNCTION ANYWHERE FROM LAW ENFORCEMENT, FIRE OR EMS, AS WELL AS EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT.

THE IMPORTANCE OF DISPATCH CONSOLE ALLOWS AN OPERATOR TO MANAGE MULTIPLE EVENTS AT ONE TIME, COMMUNICATE EFFECTIVELY TO NUMEROUS FIELD UNITS, AND TO. COMMUNICATE WITH THOSE FIELD UNITS FROM A CENTRALIZED FOCAL POINT WITHIN THEIR SPACE. EXCUSE ME. ESSENTIALLY IT'S THE COMMUNICATION COMPONENT THAT KIND OF TIES ALL THE CHAOS TOGETHER AND KEEPS EVERYTHING MOVING FORWARD.

SO IF YOU FOCUS YOUR ATTENTION ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SCREEN, THE MOTOROLA TO THE THE PICTURE ON THE LEFT, IT SHOWS THE MOTOROLA MCX 7500 BPM DISPATCH CONSOLE IS WHAT THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE CURRENTLY OPERATES ON TODAY.

THE MCX 7500 CONSOLE IS BECOMING END OF LIFE AND END OF SUPPORT, AND THAT DATE IS CURRENTLY FORECASTED FOR 1231, 2030 OR DECEMBER 31ST OF 2030.

THE PICTURE ON THE RIGHT IS THE REPLACEMENT OF THAT SAID DISPATCH CONSOLE CALLED THE COMMAND CENTRAL ACCESS CONSOLE, AND IT'S WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING TO MIGRATE OVER TO TODAY FOR THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE.

SO ONE QUESTION YOU MIGHT HAVE IS WHY IS MOTOROLA NO LONGER MAINTAINING THE AND SUPPORTING THE MCX 7500 SERIES CONSOLES? THE MCX 7500 SERIES CONSOLE CAME OUT IN 2005, AND IT'S HAD MULTIPLE UPGRADES AND ENHANCEMENTS SINCE ITS RELEASE.

HOWEVER, AS TECHNOLOGY HAS ADVANCED AND OUR USERS HAVE REQUESTED A MORE MODERNIZED CONSOLE THAT CAN SUPPORT MORE ADVANCED FEATURES, WE'VE COME UP WITH THE MOTOROLA COMMAND CENTRAL ACCESS CONSOLE TO MEET THOSE DEMANDS AND THOSE REQUESTS. SO THE COMMAND CENTRAL ACCESS CONSOLE HAS BEEN DEVELOPED BASED ON DISPATCHER FEEDBACK. AND WHAT THEY WANT TO SEE WITHIN WITHIN THE COMM CENTER, THE COMMAND CENTRAL ACCESS CONSOLE HAS A MODERNIZED LOOK AND FEEL WITH A NEXT GENERATION USER INTERFACE.

USER BASED PROFILE ADJUSTMENTS, WHICH ALLOW EACH INDIVIDUAL DISPATCHER TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS BASED ON THEIR SPECIFIC PREFERENCES, AS WELL AS ADVANCED INTEGRATION CAPABILITIES WITH THE MOTOROLA ECOSYSTEM AS A WHOLE.

IN ADDITION TO THE PREVIOUS ITEMS, SOME OF THE PROCESSING THAT WAS DONE AND COMPLETED VIA HARDWARE HAS NOW MOVED TO SOFTWARE, WHICH REDUCES A HARDWARE FOOTPRINT AND AN ALL IN ONE DESIGN.

AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER, WHICH IS OUR COMMAND CENTRAL HUB, WHICH HOUSES ALL THE COMPONENTS THAT USED TO BE MAINLY HARDWARE, HAVE NOW BEEN MOVED OVER TO A LITTLE BIT OF SOFTWARE, SO A SMALLER FOOTPRINT OVERALL. AND THEN LASTLY, THE CONSOLE GIVES THE ABILITY FOR A SIMPLER UPGRADE PROCESS, WHICH MEANS LESS DOWNTIME AND LESS DISRUPTION TO THE, TO THE DISPATCHER IN THE COMM CENTER.

AND ALLOWS FOR AN EASIER PROCESS TO UPGRADE OVERALL.

I WANT TO PAUSE FOR ANY QUESTIONS THAT I CAN ANSWER FOR YOU GUYS THUS FAR.

BEFORE I MOVE ON TO THE PRICING SUMMARY.

FOR ANY QUESTIONS. SO YOU SAID THAT THE END OF LIFE FOR THE CURRENT IS 1231 2030.

THAT'S CORRECT. BUT WE'RE IN 2026 RIGHT NOW, RIGHT? SO A, I HAVE THREE QUESTIONS.

DO WE ANTICIPATE A SIMILAR LIFESPAN FOR THE NEW CONSOLE OF 25 YEARS? YOU SAID BROUGHT IT ON IN 2005, ENDING IN 2030.

THAT'S 25 YEARS. ARE YOU THINKING A SIMILAR AMOUNT RIGHT NOW FOR THE NEW ONE? ON PAPER, MOTOROLA HAS DIFFERENT LIFE CYCLES THAT ARE SPECIFIC TO WHICHEVER PLATFORM THEY HAVE. MOST LIKELY, WE WILL SEE A LONG LONGEVITY OF THE HARDWARE FROM THE MOTOROLA PERSPECTIVE. IT'S NOT.

IT'S NOT IN OUR BEST INTEREST TO HAVE A SPECIFIC CONSOLE PLATFORM BE RELEASED AS.

AS WE GO THROUGH MORE TECHNOLOGY UPGRADES AND ENHANCEMENTS OF THE SORT.

THERE WILL BE OTHER GENERATIONAL UPGRADES OF THE CONSOLES, BUT THERE WILL BE ENHANCEMENTS TO THE SPECIFIED LINE.

SO, FOR EXAMPLE, WITH THE MCC 7500 VPN, THERE'S BEEN ENHANCEMENTS SINCE THAT SPECIFIED PLATFORM THAT HAVE MOVED FROM VPN TO AN E AND SO ON AND SO FORTH.

SO WE WOULD SEE SOMETHING SIMILAR IN THE CASE OF THE ACCESS CONSOLE.

BUT YES, SIMPLE ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION.

WE WOULD SEE WE CAN EXPECT TO USE THIS FOR A LONG TIME IS WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.

YES, EXACTLY. YEAH. AND THEN WHAT IS THE TIMELINE? IF WE WERE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH SOMETHING NOW, HOW LONG WOULD IT ACTUALLY TAKE TO GET THESE CONSOLES ONLINE? FROM A PROJECT STANDPOINT, WE'D PROBABLY LOOK ANYWHERE FROM 6 TO 9 MONTHS WOULD BE AN ESTIMATION OF PROJECT EXECUTION AND IMPLEMENTATION LIKELY 2027 ISH.

YES. TO BRING THEM ONLINE.

RIGHT. THIRD QUESTION. I'M SURE THIS IS SOMETHING YOU'RE ABOUT TO GET TO IS IF, IF END OF LIFE IS 1231, 20, 30, WHY ARE WE DISCUSSING THIS IN 2026 VERSUS 20, 20, 2030 OR 2029.

THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. SO THE REASON WE'RE DISCUSSING IT NOW IS A AND WE CAN SEE ON THE

[00:35:02]

AND ANOTHER COMPONENT OF THAT.

SO IT GIVES YOU GUYS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR SOME COST SAVINGS. BUT SECONDLY AS WELL THE SEO OR PARKER COUNTY AS A WHOLE IS NOT THE ONLY CUSTOMER WITH MOTOROLA THAT HAS THESE SPECIFIED CONSOLES SPECIFIC TO THIS REGION.

SO IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR A, THE COUNTY TO SAVE MONEY FROM A BUDGETED ITEM THAT'S COMING UP, BUT SECONDLY, NOT HAVE TO GET IN LINE PER SE AND WAIT TILL THE LAST MINUTE TO BE ABLE TO OR THE 11TH HOUR TO BE ABLE TO UPGRADE THE CONSOLE.

SO TRYING TO SAVE TIME AND SAVE MONEY AND BE PROACTIVE RATHER THAN REACTIVE IS THE RIGHT STATEMENT THERE RIGHT ANSWER.

SO LOOKING OVER THE THE COST HERE, I SEE A, A COST IN THE FOLLOWING YEARS OF AROUND $100,000 A YEAR JUST FOR, I GUESS, FOR OUR PART OF THAT.

YES, SIR. HOW MUCH ARE WE PAYING NOW FOR THE SYSTEM THAT WE HAVE NOW? FOR THE WARRANTY AND I MEAN, HOW MUCH ARE WE PAYING IN THE YEARS PER YEAR RIGHT NOW? CURRENTLY, I DON'T HAVE THAT INFORMATION AS TO WHAT YOU HAVE, WHAT YOU GUYS PAY CURRENTLY, YOU DO HAVE AN SOOY OF MAINTENANCE, BUT THE SPECIFIED DOLLAR VALUES. I DON'T HAVE THAT INFORMATION, I APOLOGIZE. JAMES, DO YOU HAPPEN TO HAVE A GUESS ON THAT AMOUNT? JUST BALLPARK IS FINE.

I'M TRYING TO THINK NEGOTIATING OUR CURRENT MAINTENANCE.

IT'S OKAY. IT'S JUST INFORMATION THAT I WAS INTERESTED IN.

WE DON'T HAVE TO HAVE IT RIGHT NOW.

I CAN GET YOU AN ANSWER.

IT'S ABOUT THE SAME. I WANT TO SAY IT'S CLOSE TO THE SAME LAST YEAR.

I'D BE MISSPEAKING. I'D HAVE TO GO BACK AND GET THE NUMBERS OF WHAT WE'RE CURRENTLY PAYING. LAUREN. BRAD WE'RE GOING TO BE HERE FOR A LITTLE BIT.

IS THAT SOMETHING THAT Y'ALL COULD PING SOMEONE AT THE HOME BASE AND GET US THAT INFORMATION, PLEASE? YEAH, WE CAN FIND OUT SPECIFICALLY FOR THE CONSOLES TOO. I'M JUST SITTING HERE LOOKING AT AT THE, THE FUTURE COST YEAR TWO 93,000.

YEAR THREE 97,000. YEAR FOUR 101,000.

YEAR 505,000. THAT WE WOULD BE, I GUESS THAT WE WOULD BE PAYING FOR MAINTENANCE AND LIFE CYCLE SERVICES IN ENSUING YEARS.

I WAS JUST CURIOUS AS TO WHAT IT IS FOR THE SYSTEM WE HAVE NOW.

ABSOLUTELY. AND I DO KNOW THIS AND I ALSO LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THAT'S FOR WHAT THE WHAT THAT COVERS, I GUESS. YEAH.

SO THE, THE OUTGOING MAINTENANCE OR THE, THE FEES THAT YOU SEE THERE IS, IT'S CALLED THE SOOY AND THE MAINTENANCE.

SO NUMBER ONE, YOUR MAINTENANCE IS YOUR WARRANTY SERVICE IS ANY.

YOUR MAINTENANCE CONTRACT TO ALLOW OUR TEAM TO BE ABLE TO HAVE ANY FIELD RESPONSES TO FIX THE CONSOLES AND COME AS AN ON SITE RESPONSE, AS WELL AS YOUR SOOY. IT'S CALLED A SYSTEM UPGRADE AGREEMENT, AND A SYSTEM UPGRADE AGREEMENT IS WHERE IT'S A DIRECT CONNECTION INTO THE FORT WORTH RADIO SYSTEM. ANY CONNECTION INTO THAT PUBLIC SAFETY RADIO NETWORK HAS TO HAVE AN S Ü ASSOCIATED WITH IT. AND THE REASON BEING IS BECAUSE ANY NETWORK CONNECTION TO THAT SYSTEM AND THROUGH THAT CORE HAS TO BE MAINTAINED AND UPGRADED YEAR OVER YEAR TO BE ABLE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE HEALTH AND INTEGRITY OF THAT PUBLIC SAFETY NETWORK IS AT ITS IT'S UP TO SPEED WITH VARIOUS UPDATES THAT COME OUT FROM WINDOWS OR OTHER COMPONENTS THAT ARE NECESSARY. SO THAT'S WHAT THAT'S Ü AND THAT MAINTENANCE.

WHAT WHAT THAT COVERS.

AND SO THAT NUMBER IS JUST FOR THE THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE PORTION OF IT, NOT THE NUMBERS I WAS QUOTING THERE, JUST FOR THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE PORTION, NOT NOT THE CITY OF WEATHERFORD OR ISD ONE OR THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT, RIGHT? YES. YES.

I HAVE NO FURTHER QUESTIONS. ANY OTHER ANY OTHER COMMENTS FOR THE REST OF THE PRESENTATION? NO, I DON'T HAVE ANY MORE.

OKAY. DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING? GO.

PROCEED. SAY THAT AGAIN.

YOU CAN PROCEED IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE. PERFECT. SO LAST, LAST SLIDE I HAVE IS THE PRICING SUMMARY SLIDE JUST TO KIND OF ROLL OVER AND GO OVER EVERYTHING. STARTING FROM THE TOP, YOUR SYSTEM, HARDWARE AND EQUIPMENT AND THEN SYSTEM INTEGRATION SERVICES.

COMMISSIONER WALDEN I'M ASSUMING THAT'S WHAT YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU TODAY. IT IS WHAT I'M LOOKING AT RIGHT HERE ON HERE.

THE TEXAS DOCTOR CONTRACT DISCOUNT IS WHAT YOU GUYS WOULD RECEIVE.

JUST BASED OFF THE STATE CONTRACT PRICING.

THERE IS A TIMING INCENTIVE THAT WE DID PRESENT TO SOME OF THE OTHER AGENCIES THAT WE WERE RUNNING THE PROJECT AS A WHOLE.

THIS PRICING DID EXPIRE FOR Q1, AND IT ENDED AT THE END OF MARCH.

[00:40:01]

WHICH LEAVES US WITH THE SYSTEM TOTAL.

AND I CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU GUYS HAVE FOR THAT AS WELL.

ANY COMMENTS, ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT? SO IF WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THE IPO BEFORE MARCH 30TH OR RECEIVED BY MARCH 30TH, 2026, WE'RE LOOKING AT SAVINGS OF $276,000.

JAMES, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT YOU HAD INDICATED THAT YOU WOULD BE RECOMMENDING TO US IN BUDGET THIS COMING YEAR.

YES, SIR. AND WHAT YOU KNOW, BUDGET AS COMMISSIONER WALDEN OFTEN REFERS TO AS A TIME OF SEPARATING NEEDS FROM WANTS.

AND IS THIS SOMETHING THAT YOU WOULD CLASSIFY? WE'VE SEEN YOUR DEDICATION TO SAVING THE TAXPAYER MONEY, ESPECIALLY THIS PAST YEAR. WE SAW YOU CUT, I BELIEVE, 1.1 MILLION OUT OF YOUR IT BUDGET.

IS THIS A NEED OR IS THIS A WANT? AT THE END OF THE DAY? IT IS A NEED FOR PUBLIC SAFETY.

THE TIMING WANTED TO PRESENT ALL THE INFORMATION I CAN TO MOVE IT NOW.

ANY SAVINGS WE CAN GET.

I TRY TO PRESENT TO YOU ALL.

I KNOW IT'S KIND OF OUT OF THE BUDGET CYCLE FOR US.

BEING A, YOU KNOW, A LOCAL GOVERNMENT TAX ENTITY, IT'S DIFFICULT FOR THESE, BUT BASED OFF THE SAVINGS THEY'RE OFFERING I WANTED TO GET IT IN FRONT OF YOU ALL. THE MAIN GOAL NOW AND ALSO KEEP IN PERSPECTIVE TELL ME IF I'M WRONG. THE PREVIOUS AGREEMENT WE HAVE IS BECAUSE WE OWNED ALL THE CONSOLES, WE WERE PAYING ALL THE MAINTENANCE.

AND SO NOW THAT DOES CHANGE SINCE THEY PURCHASED THEM.

SO THOSE COME OUT OF OUR MAINTENANCE AND GOES INTO THE INDIVIDUAL BUDGETS, BACK TO THE WEATHERFORD HOSPITAL DISTRICT AND ALL THAT.

SO WE DO HAVE SAVINGS WITH THEM ACTUALLY PURCHASING THEIR CONSOLES NOW, AND ONLY OUR EIGHT FOR THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE GOING FORWARD.

SO WE HAVE A LITTLE SAVINGS THERE GOING FORWARD.

I JUST WANTED TO GET THIS IN FRONT OF YOU.

ANOTHER REASON GOING FOR THIS YEAR IS THE TIMELINE AGAIN, GOING, YOU KNOW, IF WE MOVE IT NOW, WE'RE STILL PROBABLY NOT GOING TO START TILL CLOSE TO OCTOBER WITH EVERYTHING GOING ON ANOTHER TEN MONTHS.

REALISTICALLY, IF WE CAN GET IT IN, THEN WE GET TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT A LOT LONGER. IT'S THE END OF LIFE GAME.

WE'RE TRYING TO HOW LONG CAN WE KEEP IT IN SERVICE AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT? ALSO? JAMES, REALISTICALLY SPEAKING, IF WE DON'T MOVE FORWARD ON THIS NOW, WE LOSE THE 276 CREDIT OR DISCOUNT, I SHOULD SAY.

BUT ALSO WHAT ARE THE CHANCES THAT THE ACTUAL UNIT PRICING INCREASES IF WE MOVE ON THIS IN 2028 OR 2029? YOU'D HAVE TO HAVE THEM SPEAK TO THAT.

I'M NOT SURE. I GUESS.

JUDGE COMMISSIONERS BRAD RICE, MOTOROLA.

MR. HOLT, THE ANSWER ON THAT ONE IS, IS IT WOULD GO UP AND IT'S NOT A MATTER OF PLAYING GAMES OR ANYTHING. IT'S A MATTER OF THE WAY WE'VE GOT THIS PRICED IS WHEN WE DID THIS TOGETHER WITH THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT SD ONE AND YOU ALL TOGETHER.

IT'S ONE PROJECT MOBILIZATION, ONE PROJECT MANAGER, THE PROJECT TEAM. SO IF IT'S DONE LATER, IT WOULD BE A SEPARATE PROJECT THAT WOULD REQUIRE ADDITIONAL RESOURCES SO THAT AT A MINIMUM THAT WOULD BE ADDED TO THAT.

IS THE T X D I R CONTRACT DISCOUNT APPLY REGARDLESS THAT REGARDLESS? YES, SIR. SO THAT'S NOT DEPENDENT ON THE DECISION TODAY.

TODAY WE'RE JUST TALKING ABOUT THE 276.

YES, SIR. AND LIKE JONATHAN SAID, IT'S A MATTER OF IN THE BEGINNING.

AND I ACTUALLY HEARD ABOUT THIS AND BROUGHT IT UP AT THE, THE ONE OF THE MEETINGS WE HAD HAD EXCESS INVENTORY OF ACCESS CONSOLES IN THE WAREHOUSE. WE'RE TRYING TO CLEAR SPACE, BUT THEY HAD A LARGE PROJECT THAT GOT DELAYED. SO THIS WAS A WAY OF DOING THAT.

BROUGHT IT TO THE COMMITTEE'S ATTENTION JUST AS A WAY TO SAVE ADDITIONAL FUNDS IF POSSIBLE. REALIZING IT WAS A PRETTY QUICK TURNAROUND.

BRIANNA, HOW MUCH IF WE WERE TO DO THIS, WE WOULD HAVE TO DO THIS THROUGH CONTINGENCY.

IS THAT CORRECT? CORRECT.

AND I BELIEVE THAT WE DID HAVE A SUFFICIENT AMOUNT ALLOCATED TO CONTINGENCY AS A WHOLE.

THAT IS NOT CURRENTLY EARMARKED FOR OTHER.

REMEMBER, WE HAD WE HAD WE HAD PUT SOME MONEY IN CONTINGENCY THAT HAD BEEN EARMARKED TO CERTAIN THINGS. BUT I BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE ENOUGH IN CONTINGENCY THAT'S NOT TENTATIVELY EARMARKED THAT WE COULD DO THIS.

CORRECT. RIGHT. SO WE HAD A GENERIC OVERALL CONTINGENCY OF 1,792,250.

AND OF THAT, EVERYTHING'S RIGHT.

I JUST WAS DOING IT RIGHT NOW WE'VE SPENT 182,006 18.

[00:45:02]

AGAIN, SUCH AS I T GENERAL CONTINGENCIES RADIO.

AND THEN THE BIGGEST AMOUNT IS THE LAND USE FACILITIES OF THE 3.2 THAT'S OUTSIDE OF THAT.

OKAY, I'M GOING TO MAKE THE MOTION THAT WE APPROVE MOVING FORWARD ON THIS TODAY TO CAPTURE THE SAVINGS OF $276,000 AND ISSUE A PO NOT LATER THAN APRIL 30TH OF 2026, SUBJECT TO WHATEVER WAS ABOUT TO TELL ME.

JUST GIVE ME THE AUTHORIZATION TO OVERRIDE THE BUDGET, AND THEN WE CAN ACTUALLY SUBMIT A BUDGET ADJUSTMENT FOR THE NEXT QUARTER.

INCLUDING THAT IN IN THE.

YES, MA'AM. I'D LIKE TO AMEND MY MOTION TO INCLUDE THAT AS WELL.

MOTION BY COMMISSIONER HOLT, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? I JUST WANTED TO ASK IF YOU CARE TO ADD ANY COMMENTARY, SIR. I MEAN, I DON'T HAVE ANY COMMENTARY TO ADD EXCEPT FOR I MEAN, IN A LIFE'S END OF LIFE.

UNFORTUNATELY, I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THAT. AND I KNOW IT'S A, IT'S A COMPUTER AT THE END OF THE DAY THAT I NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT MY PEOPLE CAN COMMUNICATE WITH WHATEVER THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY THAT WE CAN DO THAT.

I DON'T WANT TO BE THE LAST IN THE LINE, BUT WHATEVER WE CAN AGREE TO TODAY.

I MEAN, I'M, I'M, I'M 100% BEHIND IT BECAUSE I'M DEFINITELY GOING TO ASK IN OCTOBER.

IF IT DOESN'T HAPPEN TODAY, WE'RE GOING TO COME BACK IN OCTOBER AND SAY, LET'S GET LET'S GET A LET'S GET OUR CHIP IN LINE SO WE CAN GET THIS DONE.

OKAY. THANK YOU. YEAH.

THANK YOU. OKAY. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM? ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. OPPOSED.

MOTION PASSES FIVE ZERO.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

OKAY. I'M GOING TO MOVE TO ITEM P SINCE WE'RE HERE WITH THE AUTHORIZATION TO MOVE FUNDS

[7.P. Authorization to move funds from program contingency in the amount of $10,469.30 for critical power devices for the Main Tower. (James Caywood I Judge Deen) ]

WE ACTUALLY SHAVED OFF ABOUT $7,000 ON THIS, QUOTE, FINDING A NEW VENDOR. THIS IS THE POWER DISTRIBUTION UNITS THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE INSTALLED BY BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS AT THE MAIN TOWER SITE.

SO THAT WAS THE BEST PRICE THAT WE CAN COME TO OUT OF THE CONTINGENCY FUNDS.

MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER WALTON, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER. METRORAIL. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? AYE, AYE. OPPOSED? CARRIES FIVE ZERO.

JAMES. MOVE TO LET'S SEE HERE.

[7.Q. Authorization to move funds from program contingency in the amount of $19,520.20 for new permanent grounding to be installed at the Cool tower site. (James Caywood / Judge Deen)]

SO ASKING FOR THESE FUNDS TO COME OUT OF THE CONTINGENCY LINE FOR PERMANENT GROUNDING AT THE COOL TOWER SITE. OKAY.

GROUNDING ISSUES. WE HAVE MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER HOLT, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER WALTER. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? AYE, AYE.

OPPOSED? CURIOUS. PABLO.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. WE'RE GOING TO.

CAN I ASK ONE QUESTION ABOUT INFORMATION FOR THE SLA? HOW DO YOU WANT THAT RECEIVED? COMMISSIONER WALDEN TEXT.

WE'RE WORKING ON GETTING THOSE NUMBERS FOR YOU.

YEAH. COULD COULD WE SEND IT TO JAMES? AND JAMES CAN DISTRIBUTE TO ALL THE COMMISSIONERS, IF YOU DON'T MIND. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

OKAY, JAMES, SEND IT TO ALL OF US, IF YOU DON'T MIND. YES.

OKAY. WE'RE GOING TO GO BACK TO ITEM D ONE ON INTER-DEPARTMENTAL TRANSFERS OF EQUIPMENT

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

WE DID HAVE SOME INTER-DEPARTMENTAL TRANSFERS THAT INCLUDE COMPUTERS AND A COUPLE OF VEHICLES. ONE WAS A 4X4 PICKUP THAT WENT FROM SURPLUS TO IT.

AND THEN A 2018 PICKUP THAT TRANSFERRED FROM CONSTABLE THREE TO THE ELECTIONS OFFICE TO REPLACE A VEHICLE THAT IS LEFT THEM STRANDED A COUPLE OF TIMES DURING THE ELECTION PROCESS. OKAY. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER HOLT.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.

AYE. OPPOSED? CURIOUS.

PABLO, MOVE TO ITEM TWO AND APPROVE THE SALVAGE AND DESTRUCTION OF BULLETPROOF VESTS.

OKAY. MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER WALTON, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER HOLTON. ANY DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.

AYE. OPPOSED? CARRIES FIVE ZERO.

ITEM THREE. AUTHORIZATION OF SURPLUS AUCTION EQUIPMENT FOR PRECINCT THREE THROUGH RITCHIE

[4.D.3. Authorization to Surplus Auction equipment for Pct. 3 through Ritchie Brothers Auctioneers. (Kim Rivas/ Commissioner Walden) ]

IT'S A 1999 HYDROSCOPIC BADGER DIG.

[00:50:02]

AUCTIONEERS PROMOTIONAL MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER WALTON, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER HOLTON. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM? ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.

OPPOSED. MOTION CARRIES.

BRAVO. MOVE TO ITEM FOUR AND DISCUSS.

[4.D.4. Discuss and take necessary action regarding surplus vehicles available for interdepartmental transfer. (Kim Rivas/ Judge Deen)]

NECESSARY ACTION REGARDING SURPLUS VEHICLES AVAILABLE FOR INTER-DEPARTMENTAL TRANSFER.

KIM. SO I GAVE YOU ALL A PACKET THAT INCLUDES A FOR VEHICLES THAT WERE SUBMITTED TO SURPLUS THAT WE HAVE SENT OUT EMAILS TO ALL THE DEPARTMENTS AND ANYBODY REQUESTS THAT WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THEIR NAME ON THOSE VEHICLES.

THEY SENT IN LETTERS OF JUSTIFICATION OF WHY THEY NEED THOSE.

AND ONLY ONE OF THE VEHICLES HAD MORE THAN ONE DEPARTMENT INTERESTED IN IT.

AND THAT WAS A 2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO.

THE MEDICAL EXAMINER'S OFFICE PLUS PRECINCT THREE HAVE EXPRESSED INTEREST IN THAT VEHICLE. AND TODAY I WOULD LIKE FOR THE COURT TO DETERMINE WHO YOU ALL THINK SHOULD GET THAT VEHICLE. THE OTHER THREE VEHICLES, PRECINCT THREE, WANTS A 2006 FORD F-150.

EOC HAS ASKED FOR A 2018 FORD F-250 AND AND A 2017 CHEVROLET TAHOE.

I CREATED THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE I WANTED.

IF THERE WERE SURPLUS VEHICLES, I WANTED THEM TO BE AVAILABLE TO EVERY DEPARTMENT RATHER THAN JUST, YOU KNOW, SAY, HEY, I'VE GOT A DEPARTMENT WHO'S THE FIRST ONE TO HIT THE BUTTON BECAUSE EVERYBODY'S NOT SITTING THERE TO DO THAT. SO I CREATED THIS PROBLEM.

I GUESS THE ONLY ONE IS, IS THE THE 2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO AND THE MEDICAL EXAMINER'S ASKED FOR IT AND PRECINCT THREE IS ASKED FOR IT.

I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW THAT WE HAVE THE, THE, THE CRITICAL NEEDS THAT ARE OUTLINED IN THE OTHERS.

WE DON'T INVESTIGATE DEATHS AND WE WE DON'T NEED IT TO DO ANYTHING OTHER THAN FOR MY GUYS TO DRIVE OUT TO WORK. SO I I.

I REALLY, I READ ALL THE THINGS THERE, BUT I REALLY DIDN'T SEE.

I GUESS THEY HAVE SOME THEY HAVE SOME SIGNIFICANT MECHANICAL ISSUES WITH SOME OTHER VEHICLES THAT THEY'VE HAD.

SO I'LL BE WILLING TO FOREGO THAT AND LET THAT GO TO THE MEDICAL EXAMINER'S OFFICE.

SO IF WE WITHDRAW OUR REQUEST, THEN I THINK THAT MAKES IT A NON-ISSUE.

OKAY. DO WE NEED TO TAKE ACTION? DO WE DO WE DO KIM. DO WE? KIM. NO, NO WE DON'T. OKAY.

OH. MY APOLOGIES. THANK YOU FOR TAKING NO ACTION ON THAT.

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

TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS UNDER ITEM A.

DISCUSS ONGOING REPORTING OF BOND PROJECTS TO COMMISSIONERS.

CAUGHT BY FRASER NICHOLS.

GOOD MORNING. GOOD MORNING, MORGAN, MCELWAIN, FREESE AND NICHOLS.

MAYBE. I CAN. NO NO NO NO NO NO.

THERE YOU GO. HOLD ON, HOLD ON.

IT'S JUST MY COMPUTER.

I'M SO SORRY. OKAY.

THERE YOU GO. THERE WE GO.

ALL RIGHT. HERE TO PRESENT THE MONTHLY UPDATE ON THE TRANSPORTATION BOND PROGRAM.

AS FAR AS I'M GOING TO RUN THROUGH THIS FAIRLY QUICKLY THIS MORNING. SO AS FAR AS PROGRAM ACTIVITIES, WE'VE JUST BEEN CONTINUING COORDINATION WITH EVERYBODY.

WE'VE GOT ONGOING UPDATES TO THE COUNTY BOND WEBSITE THAT I'M EXCITED TO SHOW YOU GUYS.

SO I'VE GOT THAT AT THE END OF THE PRESENTATION, WE CONTINUED OUR COORDINATION ON THE FEDERAL FUNDING REQUEST AND THEN THE THOROUGHFARE PLAN. STAKEHOLDER MEETINGS ARE ONGOING.

WE HAD MEETINGS WITH TWO OF THE COMMISSIONERS LAST WEEK, AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE MEETINGS WITH THE OTHER TWO COMMISSIONERS THIS WEEK.

SO WE'RE STILL IN A HEALTHY SPOT.

WE'VE I THINK WE'VE MOVED ANOTHER PROJECT UP TO COMPLETED THE JOHNSON BEEN IN GREEN ACRES.

WE'VE GOT LOTS OF PROJECTS IN DESIGN.

THOMAS ROAD IS IN THE BID PHASE RIGHT NOW.

AND WE'VE GOT THE RECOMMENDATION OF. AWARD THAT WE'LL BE PRESENTING TO COURT THIS MORNING FOR THAT ONE. AND THEN WE'VE GOT SEVERAL PROJECTS IN THE CONSTRUCTION PHASE AND WE'VE MOVED FAIRVIEW UP TO THE CONSTRUCTION PHASE.

[00:55:02]

WE'VE GOT CHURCH ROAD WHERE THE RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITION AND UTILITY COORDINATION IS ONGOING, AND THEN WE'LL BE READY TO BID THAT PROJECT AFTER WE GET THOSE THINGS DONE.

THE CONSTRUCTION NOTICE TO PROCEED WAS ISSUED ON MARCH 23RD FOR MIDWAY.

THOMAS RODE. AS I MENTIONED, WE'RE BRINGING THE RECOMMENDATION OF AWARD TODAY. STEWART STREET SIGNAL IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION BY TEX-DOT.

ARE YOU SURE? YES. I HAVEN'T SEEN ANYBODY OUT THERE.

YOU HAVEN'T? I WILL CHECK IN ON THAT.

OKAY. 51 INFILL STATION CONSTRUCTION IS COMPLETE, AND THE FINAL WALKTHROUGH IS SCHEDULED FOR APRIL 14TH AND THEN HUTCHISON ROAD.

WE'RE STILL WORKING ON DESIGN.

THANK YOU. PRECINCT TWO, WE HAVE OAK RIDGE DRIVE.

WE'VE GOT THE PHASE ONE TRAFFIC CONTROL HAS BEEN IMPLEMENTED.

SO THAT'S THE ONE WAY SOUTHBOUND TRAFFIC FROM PITMAN DOWN TO US 180.

AND WE DO HAVE THAT POSTED ON THE WEBSITE AS WELL.

THE DETOUR ROUTE. SO LIEUTENANT OVERHOLT STILL HERE BECAUSE HE COULD SIT OUT THERE WITH HIS CAR AND PULL PEOPLE OVER WHO GO THE WRONG WAY.

OKAY. WE'VE HAD QUITE A FEW FOLKS WHO ARE GOING TO IGNORE THE FACT THAT IT'S ONE WAY ONLY TRAFFIC. OKAY, SO THE MORE THAT WE CAN PUT PRESSURE ON IMPROVED SIGNAGE.

OKAY. I'VE HAD SOME FOLKS SUGGEST PILOT CAR, WHICH I KNOW CAN TAKE QUITE A WHILE, BUT WE NEED TO DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO CONTINUE TO ADDRESS THAT.

PLEASE. OKAY. THE CONTRACTOR IS ACTIVELY CONSTRUCTING A TEMPORARY WIDENING ALONG THE WEST SIDE OF THE ROAD.

SO THAT THAT TRAFFIC CAN BE SHIFTED MORE AND HOPEFULLY THAT'LL ENCOURAGE THEM TO KEEP ON THE ONE WAY. THANK YOU.

I WAS GOING TO TELL YOU, WE HAVE HAD DISCUSSIONS ABOUT WE'RE ADDING MORE SIGNAGE OUT THERE.

WE'RE GOING TO, FOR EXAMPLE, WE'RE GOING TO PUT WRONG WAY SIGNS INTERMITTENTLY ALONG THAT ONE WAY STRETCH SO THAT AFTER YOU GET ON IT, YOU'RE REMINDED THAT YOU'RE GOING THE WRONG WAY. IF SOMEBODY HAPPENS TO, TO GO NORTHBOUND THROUGH THAT STRETCH. AND THEN OBVIOUSLY GETTING LAW ENFORCEMENT OUT THERE TO MONITOR IT IS ANOTHER STEP THAT WE'RE LOOKING INTO. WHEN I WAS OUT THERE LAST WEEK, MEETING WITH A CONCERNED PERSON, I SAW TWO WRONG-WAY DRIVERS IN THE SPACE OF 30 MINUTES. OKAY, THAT MAKES SENSE.

YEAH. IT'S A PROBLEM THAT WE'RE CERTAINLY LOOKING FOR DIFFERENT METHODS TO ADDRESS IT.

ANOTHER ONE THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS ALL THE SIDE STREETS.

PUT ANOTHER SIGN UP THAT BASICALLY TELLS YOU YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO TURN RIGHT IF WRITES THE WRONG WAY OR LEFT, DEPENDING ON YOUR APPROACH.

JOHNSON, BEN AND GREEN ACRES CONSTRUCTION IS COMPLETE, AND WE'RE WORKING ON THE FINAL CLOSEOUT DOCUMENTS FOR FM 51 AND CARTER ROAD.

WE'VE GOT THE 90% SUBMITTAL PACKAGE THAT WE ARE ANTICIPATING TO BE DELIVERED TO TECHSTUFF THIS WEEK. SO WE'VE ADDRESSED ALL OF THEIR 60% COMMENTS.

WORKING ON THAT 90% PACKAGE POJO ROAD STAKEHOLDER COORDINATION ON THE SCOPE IS UNDERWAY. AND THEN THE CENTRAL ROAD CULVERTS IS A NEW PROJECT THAT GOT ADDED ADDED IN.

SO THE DESIGN SERVICES ARE ON THE AGENDA FOR APPROVAL TODAY.

FOR PRECINCT THREE. WE HAVE THE RICK WILLIAMSON WIDENING FROM I 20 TO 180 WHERE THEY ARE CLEARING RIGHT OF WAY AND EARTHWORK IS ONGOING.

THAT WORK IS PROGRESSING ALONG.

RICK WILLIAMSON AT FM 51.

THE I-20 FRONTAGE ROAD STRATEGY DISCUSSIONS WITH TEX-DOT ARE UNDERWAY TO ALIGN COMPATIBILITY WITH THE FUTURE I-20 IMPROVEMENTS AND MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE MOVING FORWARD THERE.

THE I-20 RAMPS THE LEADING, IS CURRENTLY SCHEDULED FOR AUGUST.

FAIRVIEW LANE UTILITY DESIGN FOR THE RELOCATIONS IS COMPLETE BY THOSE UTILITY COMPANIES. AND SO THE RIGHT OF WAY IS BEING STAKED AND THEY'RE GOING TO GET OUT OF THERE.

GET OUT THERE AND RELOCATE THEIR UTILITIES.

SUBSEQUENT TO THOSE POWER POLES BEING RELOCATED, THE ROADWAY CONSTRUCTION WILL WILL START UP AND THEN PRECINCT THREE ALSO HAS A NEW PROJECT, BETHEL ROAD FM 1884.

SO THAT TASK AUTHORIZATION FOR DESIGN SERVICES WAS APPROVED IN MARCH.

AND WE'RE WORKING ON SCHEDULING A KICKOFF MEETING WITH TEX-DOT FOR THAT ONE.

FOR PRECINCT FOUR, BANKHEAD HIGHWAY, WE ARE STILL WORKING ON RIGHT OF WAY AND UTILITY COORDINATION, SO THAT ONE WILL BE READY FOR BID AFTER WE GET SOME OF THOSE THINGS SQUARED AWAY.

BANKHEAD BRIDGE IMPROVEMENTS 60% DESIGN IS UNDER REVIEW.

US FM FIVE INTERSECTION, 90% DESIGN AND RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITION IS UNDERWAY. THAT ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENT I THINK WE REPORTED THIS LAST TIME WAS APPROVED BY TEX-DOT. FOR OLD WEATHERFORD ROAD.

WE'VE GOT UTILITY RELOCATIONS STILL MOVING TOWARDS COMPLETION.

THEY'RE STILL WORKING ON STORM DRAIN AND SOME OF THOSE REALLY BIG BOX CULVERTS OUT THERE.

[01:00:04]

WE'RE WORKING ON COORDINATING A PUBLIC MEETING FOR THAT ONE.

FOR KELLY ROAD, THE STORM DRAIN IS BEING INSTALLED AND THE CONCRETE PAVING IS UNDERWAY. AND THEN FOR KELLY ROAD AT US 377 WE'RE CURRENTLY ADDRESSING TECHDOC COMMENTS ON THE 90% PLANS, AND WE'RE ANTICIPATING THAT THE FINAL PLANS WILL BE READY IN MAY.

SO FOR THE PROGRAM WEBSITE, A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT WE DID ON THIS ONE IS WE ADDED CONSTRUCTION PHOTOS.

SO IF YOU CAN SEE ON OAK RIDGE AND KELLY THERE, WE'VE GOT SOME CONSTRUCTION PHOTOS.

WE'RE TRYING TO KEEP SOME CONSTRUCTION UPDATES ON THE WEBSITE AND MAKE THAT A LITTLE MORE INFORMATIVE FOR OAK RIDGE.

WE'VE GOT THAT DETOUR MAP ON THERE THAT WE CAN DIRECT PEOPLE TO.

AND SO WHEN WE DO HAVE DETOURS, WE'RE TRYING TO GET THOSE UPLOADED TO THE WEBSITE AS WELL. AND THEN THE.

TEX DOT WEBSITE. SO WE'VE BEEN GETTING A LOT OF QUESTIONS.

NOT ONLY FROM THE BOND PAGE EMAIL ADDRESS, BUT I THINK JUST IN GENERAL, EVERYBODY'S BEEN GETTING A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT I20.

SO A GOOD CHUNK OF THE I20 CONSTRUCTION IS SHOWN ON THE TEX DOT WEBSITE.

SO THE 2030 PROJECT, YOU CAN GO TO THE TEX DOT WEBSITE.

THERE IS A QR CODE THERE THAT TAKES YOU THERE.

THEY'VE GOT A SUMMARY AND YOU CAN SUBSCRIBE TO IT FOR UPDATES.

SO TEX DOT IS TEX DOT IS CONTINUING TO UPDATE THAT AS PROGRESSION MAKES.

AND BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THE CONGESTION AND WHAT THEY'VE DONE HERE IS CREATED A DELAY FROM THE WASH RANCH DOWN TO RANCH HOUSE ROAD.

YEAH. AND THAT'S BEEN 45 MINUTES AND MORE.

SO THAT CONTINUES TO BE UPDATED.

IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? YES. OKAY. AND THAT'S WHERE YOU CAN GO TO LOOK FOR UPDATES IF YOU DIRECT THEM TO THE KEEP 2030 MOVING, THAT IS UPDATED AND THAT WILL GIVE YOU THE LATEST INFORMATION ABOUT I-20, I-30 CONSTRUCTION.

YES. SO THOSE FOLKS THAT CONTACT MY OFFICE SPECIFICALLY IF WE GIVE THEM THIS QR CODE OR IF THEY IF THEY SCAN THIS QR CODE, THEN THAT WILL TAKE THEM TO THAT WEBSITE WITH BETTER UPDATES. YES. OKAY.

AND YOU CAN SUBSCRIBE TO IT AND WE'LL SEND YOU EMAILS.

YES. WHERE IS THAT QR CODE LISTED RIGHT NOW ON THAT WEBSITE? I DON'T TEX DOTS WEBSITE.

SO CAN WE PUT THAT ON OUR WEBSITE? RICH. AND JUST MAKE THAT AND JUST MAKE A SECTION FOR THAT FOR UPDATES ON I-20 30.

AND JUST SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO CHASE THIS BECAUSE THEY'RE OBVIOUSLY GOING TO BE COMING TO OUR WEBSITE LOOKING AT THIS. IT'S WE'VE BEEN ENAMORED WITH A NUMBER OF CALLS, OBVIOUSLY, FROM THE COMMISSIONER'S OFFICE TO MY OFFICE TOO.

AND SO FOR OBVIOUS REASONS.

AND SO IT'S CRITICAL WE GET THAT OUT TO THAT QR CODE TO KEEP THEM UPDATED ON THAT AS WELL.

YEAH. MORGAN, CAN I ASK ONE MORE THING ON THE ON THE INDIVIDUAL PROJECT PAGES? YES. CAN WE KEEP AN UPDATED ESTIMATED PROJECT COMPLETION DATE? SO FOR EXAMPLE, ON THE OAK RIDGE PAGE, Y'ALL, Y'ALL DID THE MODIFICATION THAT I ASKED FOR, WHICH WAS TO PUT A TIMELINE ON THERE.

THE CHALLENGE WITH THE TIMELINE IS IT SAYS CONSTRUCTION'S 2% COMPLETE.

BUT THE TO THE LAYPERSON WHO'S LOOKING AT THAT SITE FOR INFORMATION, ONE OF THE MOST CRITICAL PIECES THEY'RE GOING TO WANT TO KNOW IS, HEY, WHEN DO WE THINK THIS IS GOING TO BE DONE? RIGHT? AND RIGHT NOW, I DON'T THINK THAT PAGE SAYS THAT.

SO I'M NOT ASKING YOU TO PUT, YOU KNOW, MARCH 17TH OF 2027 OR SOME SPECIFIC DATE, BUT IF WE COULD AT LEAST NARROW IT DOWN TO THE QUARTER THAT WE ANTICIPATE IT TO BE DONE. YES. I THINK THAT WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL.

TO YOUR POINT, SOME CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS ARE LIKE A MONTH OR TWO LONG AND SOME ARE A YEAR LONG. AND SO YES, AND ON OAK RIDGE, PLEASE BE CONSERVATIVE BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO MISS ANY MORE DEADLINES.

OKAY. AND WE CAN UPDATE THOSE IF, IF NEEDED IN THE FUTURE.

THANK YOU. OKAY. AND THAT'S ALL I'VE GOT FOR THOSE UPDATES.

AND SO IS THERE ANY ACTION? I'VE THOUGHT I'VE HEARD YOU MENTIONED NO NO UPDATE.

NO NO ACTION ITEM ON THAT ONE.

NO ACTION ON ITEM A WILL GO TO B ON DISCUSS TAKE ACTION ON THOMAS ROAD.

[5.B. Discuss/Take action on Thomas Road recommendation of award. (Chris Bosco I Commissioner Conley)]

YES.

IN THE AMOUNT OF 3,668,000 448,030 $0.05.

AND JUST TO LET YOU GUYS KNOW, G ROAD CONSTRUCTION IS THE SAME CONTRACTOR THAT COMPLETED THE W AND WOODY PROJECT FOR PRECINCT ONE.

AND THEN ALSO WE HAVE A FINAL WALKTHROUGH FOR THE BILL STATION AND FM 51 PROJECT THAT THEY COMPLETED BOTH. THEY'VE DONE A GOOD JOB ON THE OTHER OTHER PROJECTS.

OKAY. THERE'S A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER CONLEY WITH A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER HILL.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.

IS THERE A BUDGET THERE, I GUESS.

YES. YES. SORRY. SO FROM A OVERALL BUDGET PERSPECTIVE, YEAH, WE'RE WITHIN BUDGET. WE'RE WELL WITHIN BUDGET FOR THAT PROJECT.

I FORGOT WHERE THAT ONE LANDED. EXACTLY.

I THINK IT WAS ABOUT 90,000 UNDER THE OVERALL BUDGET.

YEAH. I THINK YOU TOLD ME 80 THE OTHER DAY, BUT I ROUNDED DOWN THIS TIME AROUND IT UP BETWEEN THESE TWO NUMBERS.

I THINK IT'S COMMISSIONER. DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION? THAT'S FINE. NO, I WAS SECONDING.

OKAY. ANY OTHER ANY OTHER TOPIC? ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. OPPOSED. CHEERS. FIVE.

I HAD A MEETING THIS WEEK.

BASICALLY IT WAS THE RELEVANCE.

THERE WAS NOT MUCH RELEVANCE ON THAT RELATING TO PARKER COUNTY.

SO I DON'T REALLY HAVE ANY UPDATE ON THAT.

UNLESS THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON THAT. COMMISSIONER HOLT, YOU WERE THERE.

WOULD YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON THAT? NO. NO ADDITIONAL COMMENTARY.

OKAY. THANK YOU. OKAY.

MOVE TO ITEM K. I'LL DISCUSS.

[7.K. Discuss/Take action on budget process and timeline. (Bianca Lord/ Judge Deen) ]

OKAY. SO. SO YEAH, THIS YEAR I WILL BE MANAGING THE BUDGET PROCESS.

AND TO HELP GUIDE THAT PROCESS I'M LOOKING FOR SOME GUIDANCE.

SO THE OBJECTIVE TODAY IS TO REVIEW THE PROPOSED BUDGET CALENDAR AND SET KEY DATES.

DISCUSS THE BUDGET COMMITTEE'S ROLE AND SCHEDULE THE BUDGET WORKSHOP DATES.

SO I DO HAVE A TENTATIVE.

CAN I ADD ONE THING TO THAT? I'D ALSO LIKE TO MOVE FORWARD. WE TALKED LAST QUARTER ABOUT EACH OF US NOMINATING SOMEBODY TO COMPRISE THAT BUDGET COMMITTEE.

AND THEN AS WELL, WE WERE GOING TO POST THOSE MEETINGS SO THAT THERE'S NO CONFLICT WITH THE NUMBER OF COMMISSIONERS IN THE JUDGE WHO WERE THERE. SO.

SO IS IT MORE OR LESS WORKSHOP TYPE COMMITTEE MEETINGS THAT'LL BE POSTED? IT IS, BUT IT'S A IT'S A ACTUALLY THE COURT WHICH IS GOING TO BE POSTED, BUT IN A WORKSHOP SETTING WITH SOME OF THE COMMISSIONERS. OK. MR. HAUSER IS IN THE AUDIENCE WILL BE IN THE AUDIENCE ALONG WITH THE OTHER REPRESENTATIVES AS WELL. IT'LL BE A WORKSHOP SETTING.

OKAY. COMMISSIONER AM I READING YOUR MIND A LITTLE BIT BY WHERE WE MAY BE MUDDYING THE WATER BETWEEN OUR NORMAL WORKSHOP VERSUS THIS? THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT I WAS THINKING ABOUT A LITTLE BIT. I STILL THINK WE SHOULD MOVE FORWARD WITH IT, BUT IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE MIGHT WANT TO HANDLE DIFFERENTLY AFTER THIS YEAR, JUST AS WE SEE HOW THIS ONE WORKS OUT.

NO, I THINK WE'RE ON THE SAME PAGE.

PERFECT. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ABLE TO POST IT.

AND IF I WANT TO ATTEND, I CAN ATTEND.

YES, SIR. YES, SIR. OKAY, PROCEED.

SO ARE WE CONTINUING THE WAY WE DID IT LAST YEAR.

IS THAT WHAT WE'RE DECIDING? SO WHY DON'T YOU HANDLE THE ITEMS THAT YOU HAVE? OKAY. AND THEN WE CAN TALK ABOUT THE COMMITTEE IS THE LAST THING. OKAY. SO THE KEY DATES FOR THE BUDGET. THE PROPOSED BUDGET CALENDAR IS THE WORKBOOK ROLLOUT.

SO PROPOSAL T FOR APRIL 23RD.

[01:15:05]

AND THEN IT'LL BE DUE MAY 28TH.

SO THAT'LL GIVE A LITTLE BIT OVER A MONTH FOR THE DEPARTMENTS TO PROVIDE THEIR BUDGET REQUEST TO ME. SO THAT'S JUST KIND OF IS THAT THE DATE WE WANT TO KIND OF START THE, THE KICK OFF FOR THE WORK BOOK ROLLOUT? SORRY, APRIL 21ST, THE TRAINING WOULD BE THE 23RD AND THAT'S A THURSDAY.

IT'D BE IN THE AFTERNOON.

I'VE WORKED WITH JASON LANE ON RESERVING THE EOC TRAINING ROOM.

IT'LL BE IN PERSON FOR THE DEPARTMENT HEADS.

I KNOW THEY DID THAT LAST YEAR.

I'M JUST WONDERING IF THAT'S STILL SOMETHING WE WANT TO DO THIS YEAR.

AND JUST TO GO OVER THE WORKBOOK, THE BUDGET REQUEST PROCESS.

AND ALSO FOR ME TO MEET THE DEPARTMENT HEADS IF THEY'RE AVAILABLE.

FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, I THINK THE TRAINING PART IS, IS GREAT, BUT THE IMPORTANT PART HERE IS THE MAY 28TH DEADLINE OF GETTING EVERYTHING BACK.

THAT SEEMS TO BE REALLY WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT RIGHT NOW, RIGHT? YEAH, THAT SEEMS PRETTY REASONABLE.

IS IT REASONABLE? I THINK THAT'S KIND OF COMMISSIONERS WE DID LAST YEAR AS WELL, RIGHT? IT'S GOOD, I LIKE.

WE TALKED ABOUT IT AND FELT THAT WAS AN ACCEPTABLE REASONABLE.

BRIANNA, THIS IS US GETTING THIS IS US GETTING EVERYTHING BACK FROM THE DEPARTMENT HEADS BY MAY 28TH, WHICH SEEMS TO BE RELATIVELY REASONABLE.

OKAY. SO TRAINING. AND THE NEXT WOULD BE THE ADOPTION DATE.

SO MY PROPOSAL IS FOR THE SEPTEMBER 14TH ADOPTION DATE.

I KNOW THAT WE HAD HAD A LOT OF DISCUSSION ON THAT, AND I HAD HAD A FUNDAMENTAL MISUNDERSTANDING OF THE BULK OF Y'ALL'S WORKLOAD.

SO IS THE 14TH GOOD OR DID WE NEED TO GO WITH THE SECOND ONE? SO THE ONE NEAR THE END OF THE MONTH.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE SECOND ONE? SO TALKING ABOUT THE COMMISSIONERS COURT IN SEPTEMBER, I THINK THE 14TH IS THE FIRST COMMISSIONERS COURT.

OKAY. SO THAT WOULD MAKE THE 28TH UNLESS THERE'S A HOLIDAY THERE.

THE SECOND ONE. AND SO I THINK THEIR RECOMMENDATION IS THAT WE USE THE 28TH INSTEAD. MAY I GET CLARIFICATION? IS THE REASON TO WAIT FOR THE SECOND.

THE REASON I SAY IS BECAUSE MY UNDERSTANDING IS I WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR UPLOADING AND MAKING ALL THE CHANGES IN THE NEW ERP SYSTEM.

AND TWO DAYS GIVES YOU VERY LITTLE TIME, GIVES ME VERY LITTLE TIME TO COMPLETE THAT.

AND I THINK THAT'S WHERE I WAS MISUNDERSTANDING AS WELL BEFORE. BUT MY UNDERSTANDING FROM Y'ALL NOW IS THAT ALL OF THAT UPLOADING AND ALL OF THAT WILL BE DONE BEFORE WE ADOPT. IS THAT ACCURATE? YES. SO WHAT WE'VE ALWAYS DONE IS THE DAY THE COURT ADOPTS THE BUDGET, IT IS ACTUALLY FILED WITH THE COUNTY CLERK AND POSTED ON OUR WEBSITE.

AND SO AT THAT POINT BASICALLY, WHICH WE'VE TALKED ABOUT, I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA TO HAVE DECISIONS MADE EARLIER BECAUSE THEN THAT GIVES ADDITIONAL TIME TO GET EVERYTHING LOADED, CHECKED.

SOMETIMES DURING THAT PROCESS, WE SEE SOMETHING WHERE MAYBE, YOU KNOW, LOOKING BACK AT THE MINUTES OR WORKSHOPS THAT SOMETHING WASN'T ANSWERED.

SO WE COME BACK TO YOU FOR CLARIFICATION ON THAT.

OR AGAIN, IF SOMETHING COMES UP, IT ALLOWS TIME TO COME BACK TO COURT.

BUT AT THAT POINT, WE ALREADY HAVE EVERYTHING LOADED, EVERYTHING'S BALANCED, EVERYTHING'S REVIEWED. AND SO WHAT WE'VE GENERALLY DONE THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS IS HAVE A MEETING RIGHT BEFORE ADOPTION.

AND AGAIN, WE PRESENT HERE'S YOUR PRELIMINARY FINAL.

THIS IS WHAT THE BUDGET LOOKS LIKE. IT'S ALREADY AGAIN IN THE SYSTEM.

DURING THAT TIME, WHAT WE'VE NORMALLY DONE AS WELL IS BECAUSE THE BUDGET HAS TO BE APPROVED AND THEN THE TAX RATE.

AND SO WE HAVE THAT PUBLIC HEARING ON THE TAX RATE.

IF YOU DON'T ADOPT AT THAT MEETING, WHICH WE DON'T, THEN YOU HAVE SEVEN DAYS I BELIEVE IT'S SEVEN DAYS THEN TO SET THAT.

AND SO THAT'S WHY WE DO IT THAT WAY.

WE HAVE THE PUBLIC HEARING. WE ALSO AGAIN, USE THAT TIME JUST AS A UPDATE FOR WHERE EVERYTHING'S AT. AND THEN WE ACTUALLY ADOPT AND SET THE TAX RATE ON THE 28TH.

AND SO WE DO HAVE TO KEEP THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT UPDATED ON THAT BECAUSE WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR IS THEY'RE LOOKING FOR THAT SIGNED TAX ORDER THAT THEN THEY USE TO INPUT TO GENERATE THE NOTICES.

AND SO WE ALWAYS GIVE THEM UPDATES AS TO WHERE EVERYTHING'S AT.

SO THAT WAY THEY'RE AWARE OF IT.

AND SO THAT MORNING, ONCE IT'S SET THAT IS ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS THAT GOES IS TO THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT. SO THEN THEY CAN CONTINUE ON WITH THEIR PROCESS.

TO SUMMARIZE THAT THOUGH, YOU'RE SAYING THAT ALL OF THE, THE, THE WORK THAT BIANCA'S REFERRING TO CAN BE DONE BEFORE WE APPROVE THE BUDGET? YES. FROM A, FROM A FORMALIZATION STANDPOINT ON OUR END.

AND SO, I MEAN, WHAT WE'VE DONE IS THE PAST IS AS SOON AS YOU ALL HAVE APPROVED SOMETHING, WE CAN PUT IT IN THERE.

THE ONLY THING WE DO WAIT ON IS, IS FOR ALL SALARY AND BENEFITS TO BE DONE.

BECAUSE AGAIN, IF YOU ALL APPROVED A CERTAIN COLA,

[01:20:02]

SO MAYBE WE TRY TO DO A INFORMAL HARD DEADLINE OF SEPTEMBER 14TH TO MAKE ANY CHANGES. THAT WOULD BE WOULD YOU AGREE? MORE REASONABLE. YES, SIR.

BECAUSE I DID DO SOME RESEARCH ON COUNTIES WITH SIMILAR POPULATION SIZE WISE.

PALO PINTO AND JOHNSON COUNTIES DID ADOPT THEIRS LAST YEAR AT SEPTEMBER 8TH.

HOOD COUNTY. SEPTEMBER 12TH.

KAUFMAN COUNTY, AUGUST 26TH.

JUST TO GIVE YOU THAT, IT CAN BE DONE SOONER IF.

WELL, AND I THINK WE'RE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE OF WANTING TO GET IT DONE SOONER. I THINK THE CONCERN IS THIS YEAR SINCE THERE IS NEW SOFTWARE.

YES. AND THAT IS MY BIGGEST CONCERN.

IF WE'RE DOING EVERYTHING AGAIN, IF THE WORK IS TO BE DONE BEFORE IT'S FORMALIZED, THEN I HEAR WHERE BRIANA, BECKY AND KIM ARE COMING FROM ON THAT.

AND AGAIN, I THINK IT'S GOOD.

IN THE FUTURE, WE CAN MOVE, YOU KNOW, IF WE WANT TO DO EARLIER ADOPTIONS TO ALIGN EVERYTHING FOR THAT.

BUT SEE, I LOOK AT IT AS THOUGH I THINK GIVEN THE CIRCUM THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE NEW SOFTWARE, WE NEED TO BE LOOKING AT AN EARLIER DATE JUST FOR ANY CONTINGENCIES THAT COULD COME UP ON THAT. OKAY.

SO SO YOU'RE COMFORTABLE WITH THE 14TH? NO ADOPTION. FORMAL ADOPTION WOULD STILL BE ON SEPTEMBER 28TH.

SO I THINK THE THOUGHT WAS NO ADDITIONAL CHANGES, WHICH GIVES YOU THAT TWO WEEK AGAIN, TO INPUT EVERYTHING INTO THE BUDGET TO REVIEW IT. FOR THAT, ALL OF THAT TIME PERIOD JUST DOESN'T GIVE US ANY TIME AFTER THAT, IF THERE'S ANY GLITCHES.

RIGHT. WOULD YOU AGREE, BIANCA? THIS IS JUST THIS IS JUST MY I MEAN, BEING THIS IS MY FIRST YEAR DOING THIS AS WELL AS THE NEW ERP SYSTEM.

I THINK BEING HAVING THAT WINDOW, I THINK GIVING YOUR FIRST TIME THIS YEAR WITH POTENTIAL GLITCHES, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT DONE EARLIER THAN THAT.

NOT SAYING THE SAME THING.

I THINK IT'S YOU'RE WANTING DECISION MAKING.

COMPLETE. COMPLETED. YES.

COMPLETED. I THINK THAT'S GREAT.

AT THAT POINT, YOU'RE NOT ACTUALLY ADOPTING IT.

WHAT'S THE OKAY, SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TWO DIFFERENT THINGS. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT COMPLETED. THEN THAT WOULD BE THE ADOPTION DATE, RIGHT? IF ALL THE DECISIONS ARE DONE, WOULDN'T WE WANT TO ADOPT AT THAT TIME, EVEN IF WE FILE IT SHORTLY AFTER? NO. THE DAY THAT IT'S ADOPTED IS WHEN WE ACTUALLY FILE THE BUDGET.

AND SO IF IF DECISION MAKING IS DONE BY THE 14TH, I THINK THAT IS GREAT.

I THINK THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT.

AND THAT GIVES US TIME TO INPUT IT ALL.

AND THEN IT'S JUST A FORMALIZATION ON THE 28TH OF ADOPTION.

BUT YOU'RE NOT CHANGING. WE'RE MIXING. WE'RE KIND OF MIXING TERMS A LITTLE BIT.

SO, SO WHAT I'M SUGGESTING TO THE COURT IS THAT WE HOLD OURSELVES ACCOUNTABLE TO MAKE ALL FINAL DECISIONS BY THE 14TH, 14TH.

THAT WOULD THEN GIVE FROM THE 14TH TO THE 28TH FOR YOU ALL TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING IS INPUT CORRECTLY AND ALL OF THAT, BECAUSE WHAT NO ONE WANTS IS FOR US TO MAKE A BUNCH OF CHANGES ON THE 28TH, THAT LEAVES Y'ALL SCRAMBLING AND HAVING TO CHANGE A BUNCH OF STUFF.

YEAH, WE'RE NOT GOING TO DO THAT. SO BUT THEN THE 28TH IS EFFECTIVELY JUST A FILING DATE WHERE WE FORMALLY APPROVE IT AND BLESS IT, WE FILE IT, BUT THERE SHOULDN'T BE ANY WORK LEFT FOR Y'ALL ONCE THE 28TH COMES HERE.

THAT'S NOT YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE HERE TILL 2 A.M.

WORKING THAT NIGHT OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

OKAY, SO THAT'S REASONABLE.

THE SEPTEMBER GOAL. OKAY.

MY QUESTION WAS, IS THAT ENOUGH TIME? BIANCA, ARE YOU GOOD WITH THAT? ARE YOU GOOD WITH THAT? AS LONG AS WE FINALIZE ALL DECISION MAKING BY SEPTEMBER 14TH. OKAY. THAT'S WHAT.

THAT'S WHAT WE'LL DO THEN.

OKAY. OKAY. AND MY CALENDAR.

MY PROPOSED CALENDAR DID TAKE A COUNT.

THE SEPTEMBER 14TH DATE.

AND IT DID ACCOUNT FOR THE EVENTS.

SO WE CAN DISCUSS THOSE DATES, YOU KNOW, DOWN THE ROAD, BUT. OKAY. AND ONE THING TOO, THAT WILL BE A LITTLE BIT OF A CHANGE FROM LAST YEAR, WHICH I FORWARDED. THE DAYS THAT THE DEMOCRAT PUBLISHES AND WHEN YOU HAVE TO GET THAT INFORMATION OVER HAS CHANGED.

AND SO THEY WANT THAT INFORMATION EARLIER.

SO THAT DEFINITELY IMPACTS DECISION MAKING.

SPECIFICALLY ANYTHING ON THE VOTE OF THE PROPOSED TAX RATES AND THEN ALSO THE ELECTED OFFICIAL SALARIES GETTING THAT INFORMATION OVER.

SO WE'LL HAVE TO LOOK AT THAT, HOW IT IMPACTS. AND I KNOW ONE THING WAS LAST YEAR, I THINK THERE WAS A REQUEST, IF POSSIBLE, FOR THE COMMUNITY NEWS TO HAVE ADVERTISING IN THAT NEWSPAPER AS WELL.

AND SO LAST YEAR THERE WASN'T ANY AND THAT JUST WAS PURELY BETWEEN WHEN DECISIONS WERE MADE AND THEN THE CUT OFF PERIOD OF WHEN THEY NEED IT OR WHEN THEY PUBLISH.

AND SO I DON'T BELIEVE THAT WAS AS OFTEN AS A DEMOCRAT DID.

AND SO AGAIN, JUST HAVE TO LOOK AT ALL OF THOSE BECAUSE THAT DID CHANGE.

AND SO DECISION MAKING HAS TO HAPPEN A LITTLE SOONER THAN WHEN REQUIRED.

NOTICES NEED TO BE SENT TO THE NEWSPAPER FOR PUBLISHING.

[01:25:02]

OKAY. ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO GO OVER ON THIS? ANY QUESTIONS? THE BIGGEST ONE.

THE WORK, THE WORK. WORKSHOPS.

LAST YEAR YOU DID TWO DAYS IN JULY.

ON TUESDAYS. IS THERE A PREFERENCE? I MEAN, YOU WANT TO STICK TO JULY DATES AND DO YOU WANT TO DO THEM BOTH ON ONE WEEK OR THE TUESDAYS? I MEAN, WHAT WOULD BE THE PREFERENCE AS FAR AS IN JULY? BECAUSE I KNOW THAT'S A SUMMER.

SO I DON'T THINK WE HAVE A PREFERENCE. I THINK YOU NEED TO SET THEM UP WHENEVER THEY NEED TO BE AND MOVE FORWARD.

OKAY. OKAY. DOES ANYBODY HERE HAVE ANY DATES THAT YOU'RE OUT OF COUNTRY OR OUT OF TOWN? GUARANTEED. NO, THAT'S.

WE'RE STARTING JULY 6TH OR LATER.

THEN I'M OPEN AS NEEDED AND I'M OUT JULY 21ST, I THINK, THROUGH THAT WHOLE WEEK.

SO WHAT COMMISSIONER WALTON SAID JUST SAID IT, AND WE'LL COMPLY. OKAY.

WE'LL DO. NICE JOB BIANCA.

THANK YOU. AND THEN ARE YOU DONE WITH YOUR PART, BIANCA? I AM DONE WITH THAT.

WITH THAT? YES, SIR. ON ALL OF YOUR STUFF.

OKAY. SO LAST TIME WE HAD TALKED ABOUT SETTING THAT BUDGET COMMITTEE, THE ATTENDEES OR THE, THE MEMBERS AND THE THE TAKEAWAY THAT I HAD WAS THAT EACH OF US WOULD NOMINATE ONE PERSON AND THEN WE WOULD ALSO HAVE THE RETURNING MEMBERS FROM LAST YEAR'S COMMITTEE AS WELL, WHICH WOULD BE MISS BECKY.

JEFF SWAIN SHERIFF ORTHIA, MYSELF, COMMISSIONER WALDEN, COMMISSIONER HALE, COMMISSIONER CONLEY, AND JUDGE DEAN. IF YOU ALSO CHOOSE THAT, THAT'S WHY WE'RE POSTING THAT.

SO, RICHARD, ATTENDANCE IS ALWAYS WELCOME.

AND THEN EACH OF US WOULD PICK AN INDIVIDUAL.

MY PICK WOULD BE MISS MR. HEIZER. AM I BECKY? AM I FORGETTING ANYBODY? AS FAR AS THE ATTENDANCE, THE FOLKS LAST YEAR WERE THE TWO OF US.

ARTHUR SWAIN, THE SHERIFF.

BIANCA JOINED WHENEVER SHE CAME ON BOARD.

RICHARD AND THEN KIM. STAFF SUPPORT.

YEAH, YEAH, I THINK KIM ATTENDED SOME MEETINGS.

YES, YES. AND AND THE IDEA WOULD BE THAT STAFF SUPPORT.

SO. BIANCA. FOR SURE. KIM.

BRIANNA, WHOEVER NEEDS TO BE THERE, THAT'S FINE, BUT I'M NOT MISSING ANY VOTING MEMBERS.

NO. OPHIA. YEAH. NIKOLA USTA HEIZER AND JEFF.

YEP. OKAY, SO MY RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE TO KEEP THE SAME COMMITTEE PLUS U3.

PLUS WE EACH GET ONE ONE PERSON TO CHOOSE.

FOR ME, THAT WOULD BE MR. RICHARD HEIZER. MY FEELING IS THAT'S ENOUGH PEOPLE THERE.

OH, YEAH, I RECKON I APPRECIATE YOUR DESIRE TO INCLUDE MORE PEOPLE, BUT I THOUGHT WE WORKED VERY WELL.

AND AS A GROUP THAT WE WERE.

OTHERS MAY HAVE. YOU MAY HAVE A DIFFERENT OPINION. THEY WANT TO ADD MORE PEOPLE. I RECOGNIZE THAT GROUP BECOMES TOO LARGE.

IT GETS MORE DIFFICULT FOR US TO GET THINGS DONE.

AND I WOULD MY, MY SEAT ON THAT ON THAT DEAL IS JUST JUST FROM EXPERIENCE IS THE ONLY REASON THAT I FEEL THAT IF ANYBODY ELSE WANTS TO BE THERE IN MY PLACE, YOU'RE MORE THAN WELCOME TO.

I THE ONLY THING I BRING IS YEARS OF EXPERIENCE, I THINK. BUT BUT, MIKE, YOU'RE CERTAINLY WELCOME TO TAKE MY SLOT, AND I'LL COME IN PERIODICALLY OR WHATEVER, HOWEVER YOU WANT TO FIGURE THAT OUT.

NO, I THINK THAT YOUR YOUR EXPERIENCE IS IMPORTANT.

I WOULD SAY THAT MY BIGGEST THING WAS JUST BEING ABLE TO BE INVOLVED.

A LOT OF IT I'VE MENTIONED IT BEFORE IS, YOU KNOW, I'M IN MY FIRST TERM AND I STILL HAVE A LOT TO LEARN AND I WANT TO UNDERSTAND THESE DEPARTMENTS. YOU KNOW, I WANT TO HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF OPERATIONS. SO THAT WAS WHERE A LOT OF MINE WAS COMING FROM.

I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THAT THIS COMMITTEE DOES IS IT BRINGS, IT BRINGS THE ABILITY FOR PEOPLE, EVERYBODY TO BE HEARD.

YEAH. AND THAT IS THAT I THINK IN THE PAST THEY SAID, WELL, THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT WE DO. THEY DON'T, WE DON'T GET A CHANCE TO DO ANYTHING.

WE TURN ALL THIS STUFF IN AND WHAT WE'VE DONE IN THE LAST YEAR WAS TO LOOK AT THE THINGS AND, AND BASICALLY ELIMINATE THE, THE TIME THAT IT TAKES FOR COMMISSIONERS COURT TO HEAR PRESENTATIONS AND KIND OF WHITTLE IT DOWN TO, TO WHAT, WHAT THE NEEDS ARE, AND THEN MAKE SOME EVALUATIONS BASED ON WHAT OUR PERCEPTION IS OF THE NEED IN COMPARISON WITH THE BUDGET AS A WHOLE.

NOT TO SHORTCHANGE ANYBODY.

AND I THINK THEY FELT LIKE IN THE PAST THAT THEY MAYBE HAD BEEN SHORT CHANGED A LITTLE BIT BY NOT BEING HEARD OR HAVING THEIR OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK.

AND, AND THEY SAID, WELL, I SUBMITTED THAT IN THE BOOK.

WELL, NOW COME AND DEFEND YOUR SUBMISSION.

[01:30:04]

AND LIKE I SAID I DON'T, I DON'T, I'M NOT TRYING TO PUT DOWN WHAT YOUR SUGGESTION IS IF YOU WANT TO ADD ANOTHER PERSON TO. BUT FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, I THOUGHT THAT THE GROUP WAS THE CORRECT SIZE AND WE BRING OTHER PEOPLE IN.

IF I WAS GOING TO ADD SOMEBODY, IF YOU ASKED ME TO ASK SOMEBODY FROM THE PUBLIC, I'M GOING TO ASK CITIZEN RIVAS BACK HERE TO TO BE MY PERSON, BECAUSE I WOULD SHE'S BEEN SHE'S, SHE WHEN WE NEED HER.

SHE'S BEEN VERY RESPONSIVE, BUT SHE'S ALREADY THERE WHEN WE NEED HER.

SO I, I THAT'S WHY I WAS JUST SAYING THAT.

YEAH. I MEAN, PERSONALLY I'VE ALREADY GOT MY CHOICE ON THERE.

SO IF Y'ALL WANT TO ADD SOMEONE, GREAT.

IF YOU DON'T, THAT'S FINE.

I THOUGHT IT WORKED VERY WELL. THE WAY IT DOESN'T DOESN'T AFFECT ME. ONE WAY IT WORKS WORKS GREAT THE WAY YOU ALL HAD IT.

OKAY. JORGE COMMISSIONER HALE, DO YOU ALL WANT TO.

IF YOU WANT TO ADD SOMEONE ON, THEY'RE MORE THAN WELCOME TO. WE CAN ADD SOMEBODY IF WE WANT. WE GOT OURSELVES IS FINE.

ALRIGHT THEN I'M MAKING THE MOTION THAT.

AND OBVIOUSLY WE CAN CHANGE THIS.

IF Y'ALL COME UP WITH SOMEONE DOWN THE ROAD THAT YOU WANT TO ADD. I'M MAKING THE MOTION THAT WE HAVE A BUDGET COMMITTEE THIS YEAR THAT PERFORMS THE SAME FUNCTIONS AS LAST YEAR FOR PERSONNEL, CAPITAL, ETC.

THAT WILL BE COMPRISED OF ANY MEMBERS IN ATTENDANCE OF THE COMMISSIONERS COURT.

MR. HEIZER, MISS MCCULLOUGH, SHERIFF ALTHERR.

MR. SWAIN, I THINK THAT'S I THINK THAT'S ALL PLUS NECESSARY STAFF ATTENDEES AS NEEDED.

THAT'S MY MOTION. I'LL SECOND THE MOTION.

MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER WALTON. ANY DISCUSSION ON THIS? ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.

AYE. OPPOSED? THANK YOU.

IN DOING SO, DID WE ADOPT THAT POLICY, THAT CALENDAR, OR IS THAT JUST FOR OUR INFORMATION? THOSE FOR INFORMATION, I THOUGHT, CAN I MAKE ONE COMMENT ABOUT THE CALENDAR JUST TO KIND OF CHALLENGE ALL TO BE DONE WITH MEETINGS BY THE END OF AUGUST, JUST TO KIND OF GIVE YOU ALL A LITTLE BIT OF, OF WHAT THE BACK END LOOKS LIKE.

AND IF THAT'S CHANGING THIS YEAR, THEN WE NEED TO HAVE A MEETING ABOUT INPUT AND THINGS LIKE THAT. BUT SOMETIMES, YOU KNOW, WHEN I GO BACK AND I'M INPUTTING SALARIES OR BENEFITS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, MAYBE BRIANNA TOOK IT, YOU KNOW, MAYBE THE MOTION WASN'T VERY CLEAR.

SO WE LIKE TO HAVE THOSE MEETINGS DONE BY AUGUST 31ST.

THEN WE HAVE THE FIRST COURT IN SEPTEMBER WITHOUT HAVING TO DRAG EVERYBODY IN FOR A SPECIAL SESSION FOR CLARIFICATION PURPOSE ONLY.

SO THAT WOULD BE MY CHALLENGE TO COURT IS HAVE THE BUDGET MEETINGS DONE AUGUST 31ST.

THEN BY SEPTEMBER 14TH, WE'RE REALLY GOOD TO GO.

FOR CLARIFICATION PURPOSES, IF NEEDS IF NEED BE.

AND THEN WE STILL HAVE ANOTHER COUPLE WEEKS BEFORE THE FINAL BUDGET ADOPTION TO REALLY GIVE THE TIME THAT'S NEEDED FOR ENTRY AND AUDIT AND ANOTHER AUDIT AND A THIRD AUDIT ON TOP OF THAT. THAT SOUNDED LESS LIKE A SUGGESTION AND MORE LIKE A COMMAND.

NO, IT'S JUST WE'VE DONE THIS FOR YEARS.

NO, I AGREE WITH YOU AND I, WE'RE THRILLED TO HAVE, YOU KNOW, BIANCA'S ADDITIONAL HELP.

BUT THIS IS, YOU KNOW, THOSE CONVERSATIONS NEED TO BE HAD ABOUT WHO ALL'S RECEIVING WORKBOOKS, WHO'S PUTTING IN THE ENTRY, WHO'S DOING AUDIT, THINGS LIKE THAT.

SO I THINK THAT'S A GREAT SUGGESTION.

THANK YOU. AND THE CALENDAR DATES DO ALL KIND OF INCLUDE THE MEETINGS IN AUGUST.

SO WE'RE REALLY ARE DONE BY THE END OF AUGUST.

PERFECT. OKAY. WE'RE GOOD DISCUSSION.

[7.L. Discuss/Take Action to update Parker County Travel Policy and Travel Form to align with IRS GSA travel rates. (Bianca Lord/ Judge Deen)]

BIANCA. COSTA.

THANK YOU. YES. MY REQUEST IS TO UPDATE THE TRAVEL POLICY TO ALIGN WITH IRS, GSA GUIDELINES AND PER DIEM RATES, WHICH IS THE MILEAGE REIMBURSEMENT AS LONG AND AS WELL AS THE MEALS AND INCIDENTALS.

RIGHT. BUT THE PER DIEM RATES ARE STILL AT THE ESTABLISHED RATES IN 2010.

YEAH. SO YEAH, WE WE KNOW.

SO YOU'RE ASKING US TO UPDATE THE RATE FROM WHAT WAS SET IN 2010 TO WHAT THE CURRENT IRS RATE IS CURRENT AND THE GUIDELINES AS WELL.

BECAUSE IN OUR TRAVEL POLICY, I DID DO AN EXCERPT ON IT.

IT JUST SAYS THAT HERE WE DO BY TIME FRAMES OF, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU FLY OUT OR WHEN YOU TRAVEL.

THE TRAVEL TIMES. THE IRS, GSA WEBSITE HAVE STREAMLINED THAT PROCESS TO

[01:35:01]

AND THAT WAY, I MEAN, THERE'S BENEFITS TO THAT BECAUSE YOU CAN PREPARE BUDGET. YOU KNOW, YOU'LL KNOW BEFORE YOU EVEN TRAVEL WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO BE NEEDING.

SO COST PREDICTABILITY, STANDARDIZATION.

IT ALSO ALIGNS WITH THE FEDERAL AND STATE GRANT PROCESSES.

SO WHEN WE SEND, WE USE GRANT FUNDS FOR TRAVELING TO THESE TRAININGS.

IT IS ACCEPTED. SO BOTTOM LINE, WHAT WOULD WE BE PAYING FOR AS A COUNTY? NOW THAT WE WERE NOT PAYING FOR PREVIOUSLY THE PER DIEM RATES, YOU STILL WERE DOING THAT. IT'S JUST THAT THE 2010 RATES, NOT THE CURRENT RATES.

SO JUST, JUST A QUESTION, I THINK I THINK I'D HEARD SOMEWHERE IN THROUGH THE GRAPEVINE THAT WE HAD BEEN INTENDING TO UPDATE POLICY BACK HERE.

AM I RIGHT ABOUT THAT? SECOND. SECOND THING IS, BIANCA, THIS IS NOT A REFLECTION OF YOU AT ANY IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM.

BUT I'VE KIND OF HAD THIS LONG STANDING DEAL.

DON'T HAND ME SOMETHING TODAY THAT I HAVEN'T SEEN BEFORE AND ASKED ME TO APPROVE IT.

I GOTTA HAVE IT AHEAD OF TIME. SO IT WAS PROVIDED IN THE PACKAGE AND I HAVE IT, BUT I DON'T HAVE THE OLD ONE.

I NEED TO KNOW MORE INFORMATION.

DO WE DO WE? ARE WE IN THE PROCESS OF WORKING ON OR.

YES. SO THAT HAS BEEN SOMETHING THAT KIM AND I HAVE TALKED ABOUT JUST AS FAR AS THE PREMIUM RATES. WE'VE LOOKED AT WHAT OTHER COUNTIES ARE DOING.

SO YES, IT'S SOMETHING NOT JUST PRETTY RATES, BUT THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS IN OUR TRAVEL POLICY THAT I THINK NEEDS CLARIFICATION AND CLEANUP. OFTENTIMES, YOU KNOW, WHETHER THEY'RE GETTING A PO OR SOMETHING.

THERE'S BEEN TRAVEL QUESTIONS THAT COME UP.

AND SO I THINK WITH EVERYTHING WHERE WE CAN PROVIDE ADDITIONAL CLARITY, MAKE THINGS A LOT MORE BLACK AND WHITE, THAT'S WHAT WE WANT TO DO. I THINK IT MAKES IT EASIER ON THE DEPARTMENTS.

IT MAKES IT EASIER FOR US.

AND SO OVERALL WITH THE TRAVEL POLICY, YOU KNOW THAT'S SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN ON OUR RADAR. OUR HOPE WAS TO HAVE IT DONE WHEN WE, YOU KNOW, START GETTING INTO THE BUDGET PROCESS SO PEOPLE CAN BUDGET ACCORDINGLY.

OBVIOUSLY, WE'VE HAD A VERY HUGE PROJECT GOING ON.

WE'RE STILL GETTING THROUGH THAT BEGINNING PHASE OF ALL THE GO LIVE AND TRANSITIONS.

SO OF COURSE, THAT HAS NOT BEEN OUR NUMBER ONE PRIORITY.

WE AGREE THAT WE DO NEED TO UPDATE OUR TRAVEL POLICY.

WHAT WE HAVE IS FROM THE MILEAGE EVERY THAT HAS BEEN SET WHERE IT'S THE IRS MILEAGE RATE.

AND SO ONCE THOSE RATES COME OUT WE SEND THAT OUT THE UPDATED OR THE TRAVEL FORMS ARE UPDATED TO REFLECT THAT MILEAGE.

BUT YES, THE ACTUAL MILLS PIECE OF IT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO DO WITH THAT.

RIGHT NOW WHAT WE DO IS WE HAVE RIGHT SET DIFFERENT PER DIEM FOR BREAKFAST, LUNCH, DINNER WE GET AGENDAS.

AND SO IF A MEAL IS PROVIDED BY THE TRAINING, THEN YOU ARE NOT REIMBURSED THAT.

I THINK SOMETHING WE'VE TALKED ABOUT JUST ADMINISTRATIVELY FOR EVERYONE ELSE, I THINK GOING TO THE GSA RATES WHERE ON YOUR DAYS OF TRAVEL, IT'S A CERTAIN PERCENTAGE OF THE OVERALL DAY AND THEN CHANGE IT WHERE REGARDLESS IF THE MEAL IS PROVIDED, WE JUST COVER THOSE DAYS.

YOU KNOW, WE HAVE THINGS HAVE COME UP WHERE PEOPLE HAVE CERTAIN DIETARY RESTRICTIONS OR THEY HAVE CERTAIN FOOD ALLERGIES, SO THEY'RE NOT ABLE TO EAT WHAT FOOD IS PROVIDED. SO THEY'RE STILL RIGHT OUT OF POCKET OR SOME OF THE MEALS THAT ARE PROVIDED ARE AN AFTER HOURS FUNCTION.

SO MAYBE SOMEONE DOES NOT WANT TO GO TO THE AFTER HOURS FUNCTION TO BE PROVIDED THAT MEAL. SO IT JUST CLEANS THAT UP.

WE'RE NOT LOOKING AT AGENDAS OF, YOU KNOW, IS THIS PROVIDED? IS IT NOT IN THE BACK AND FORTH, WHICH I'M SURE IS FRUSTRATING FOR THE DEPARTMENTS AND OF COURSE US, BECAUSE WE ARE JUST TRYING TO AUDIT TO WHAT THE POLICY HAS BEEN. SO IT'S CLEANING UP MEALS.

THERE'S OTHER ITEMS LIKE PARKING.

IS IT VALET OR STANDARDS? SO THERE'S OTHER ITEMS THAT WE PLAN TO DO.

BUT AGAIN, SPEAKING SPECIFICALLY TO MEALS, IF THERE'S A MEAL NOT PROVIDED BY THE, BY THE CONFERENCE OR THE TRAINING SESSION, THAT THAT PER DIEM IS, IS ADJUSTED ACCORDINGLY IF THE MEAL IS NOT PROVIDED.

CORRECT, THAT THAT'S HOW IT IS NOW.

BUT I THINK, YOU KNOW, IN DISCUSSING WITH KIM AND LOOKING AT THIS FROM PAST IS JUST WHETHER IT'S PROVIDED OR NOT, YOU GET A FLAT DAILY PER DIEM BECAUSE AGAIN, BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE CAN'T EAT THE FOOD OR YOU HAVE TO GO TO SOMETHING AND THEN YOU'RE SITTING THERE GOING BACK AND FORTH, OR SOMETIMES THE AGENDA IS NOT CLEAR, BUT IT IS ADJUSTED FROM 2010 2010.

NUMBERS ARE NOT WILL BE ADJUSTED.

MILEAGE, YES, BUT FOR MEALS, I GUESS THAT'S WHEN I, I DON'T KNOW IF, IF THERE'S.

[01:40:01]

BIANCA. CAN YOU CLARIFY THIS? THE IRS WEBSITE ACCOUNTS FOR THE GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION OF WHERE YOU'RE TRAVELING TO.

SO THOSE ARE FAIR AND EQUITABLE.

AND AGAIN, THEY'RE STANDARDIZED AND ACCEPTED BY THE FEDERAL AND STATE WHEN YOU'RE DOING THE GRANT REIMBURSEMENT AS WELL.

IT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THAT OUT OF STATE TRAVEL REQUIRED PRE-APPROVAL BY COMMISSIONERS COURT. SO KIM AND I REVIEWED THAT WHEN THE REQUISITION CAME AND WE WENT THROUGH THE TRAVEL POLICY, AND IT DID NOT STATE THAT ANYTHING FOR OUT OF STATE. AND SO THAT IS ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE ITEMS THAT WE FEEL LIKE IF COURT WANTS IT, THEN WE NEED TO ADD IT IN THERE.

CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHY WE WENT OUT OF STATE INSTEAD OF ORIGINALLY, KIM AND I WERE GOING TO ASK BIANCA TO PUT IT ON THE AGENDA FOR APPROVAL PRIOR TO TRAVELING. HOWEVER, WHEN WE LOOKED AT IT, IT DID NOT STATE THAT YOU HAD TO DO THAT.

THEREFORE, WE WENT WITH WHAT IT WAS.

SO THAT SO THAT IS ANOTHER ITEM THAT I THINK WE NEED TO ADD TO.

THE TRAVEL POLICY IF CAUGHT, WOULD LIKE THOSE.

ANY OUT OF STATE TRAININGS TO BE PRE-APPROVED.

OBVIOUSLY WE WOULD HAVE TO ADD SOMETHING IN THERE BECAUSE THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE WITH EXTRADITION OFTEN. WELL NOT OFTEN.

A LOT OF TIMES THEY CONTRACT WITH VENDORS TO DO EXTRADITION OUT OF STATE.

BUT SOMETIMES GIVEN TIMING, THEY MAY HAVE TO DO THAT.

SO YOUR TRAINING WASN'T AVAILABLE IN TEXAS AND IT WAS JUST WHERE IT WAS, RIGHT? THEY'RE ALWAYS IN WASHINGTON, DC BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE ALL THE FEDERAL AGENTS ARE. UNDERSTOOD.

SO IT'S GREAT. THEY'VE TALKED ABOUT BRINGING IT TO TEXAS, BUT THEY JUST HAVEN'T.

SO IT'S AN ANNUAL GRANTS TRAINING WHERE THEY GET A LOT OF THE SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS FROM ALL THE DIFFERENT AGENCIES. THEY'RE AVAILABLE.

SO I DON'T KNOW. I'M NOT TRYING TO TO PICK ON ANYBODY OR NOT, CERTAINLY NOT TRYING TO DO ANYTHING. BUT IT SEEMS TO ME LIKE WITH ALL THE THINGS THAT I'M HEARING, IT MIGHT BE GOOD IF WE HAD A, A GROUP TO WORK ON REVISING THE POLICY.

NOT THAT THERE'S ANYTHING WRONG WITH YOURS, BIANCA. I'M NOT SAYING THAT JUST JUST SOME OF THE THINGS BECAUSE I THINK I, FOR ONE, WOULD LIKE TO SEE IF WE'RE GOING TO HAVE OUT OF STATE TRAVEL THAT NEEDS TO BE PRE-APPROVED. AND I THOUGHT IT WAS THAT WAY BECAUSE WE HAD THAT MANY, MANY YEARS AGO FOR A CONFERENCE IN ARIZONA, I RECALL. AND THAT'S THE LAST TIME I REMEMBER ONE BEING OUT OF STATE LIKE THAT THAT I WAS AWARE OF. AND, AND I WAS UNDER THE I DIDN'T THINK THE AUDITOR'S OFFICE WAS LEAVING MUCH TO BE BROUGHT UP WHEN, WHENEVER THERE ARE WHEN THERE'S A REQUEST FOR REIMBURSEMENT, LOTS OF QUESTIONS COME FLYING BACK.

AND I THINK THOSE ARE APPROPRIATE.

AND SO I'M, THERE'S NOTHING WRONG, I THINK, WITH WHAT WE'VE BEEN GIVEN HERE, WHICH I HAVE IN MY BOOK, BY THE WAY, JUST SO IT'S CLEAR TO EVERYBODY.

NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT. BUT I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE COVERING ALL THE BASES THAT WE POSSIBLY CAN, BECAUSE THIS IS NOT JUST A SMALL THING.

I THINK I ADDED UP THE AMOUNT OF TRAVEL THAT WE HAD TO CONFERENCES ONE TIME IN PARKER COUNTY, AND THE NUMBER WAS.

SURPRISING, I'LL SAY THAT.

AND SO I WANT TO BE SURE THAT WE GET IT RIGHT AND TRY TO COVER AS MUCH AS WE CAN WITHOUT CREATING THE COMPLICATIONS THAT CAN BE THAT CAN ARISE FROM THE DIFFERENT SITUATIONS.

YOU CAN'T COVER EVERY SITUATION.

AND I THINK TO DO SOME BLANKET THINGS LIKE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THERE ARE APPROPRIATE.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY'S ON BOARD WITH IT AND WE GET IT RIGHT FROM THE FIRST TIME. SO WHAT IF WE HAVE A COMMITTEE OF WHOEVER'S APPROPRIATE, PUT TOGETHER POLICY AND BRING BACK TO US, IS THAT FAIR OR IS IT GOING TO BE A TIME CONSTRAINT TO GET IT DONE? IS IT GOING TO AFFECT ANYTHING IF WE DON'T APPROVE THIS TODAY AND WHEN WE COME BACK TO IT DURING BUDGET TIME, RIGHT? I MEAN, IT WOULD AFFECT MORE BECAUSE THERE'S OBVIOUSLY IN THIS COURT, PEOPLE HAVE TRAVEL ADVANCES.

PEOPLE HAVE TRAVELED IN THE SAME TIME FRAME AS BIANCA.

SO THEN THERE WOULD BE DIFFERENT RECONCILIATIONS IF WE MAKE ANY CHANGES.

BUT THAT'S AT YOUR DISCRETION. IN YOUR OPINION, WHAT'S THE BEST SOLUTION TODAY? I MEAN, IF WE WANT I THINK IT DOES NEED TO BE LOOKED AT AGAIN MORE THAN JUST THIS.

SO IF WE WANT TO, YOU KNOW, FORM.

YEAH. AND OBVIOUSLY KIM AND I WILL BE PART OF THAT.

WELL, I'M SITTING HERE LOOKING AT OBVIOUSLY THE DEAL IS WE'RE SITTING HERE WITH A, AN ADOPTION DATE OF 2010 AND PROBABLY NOT UPDATED SINCE 2010.

AM I RIGHT? CORRECT. I DON'T KNOW IF THE PER DIEM EVER CAME BACK BECAUSE I DON'T THINK THOSE RATES ARE ACTUALLY STATED IN THE POLICY.

SO IT MAY HAVE COME THROUGH COURT TO UPDATE IT LATER ON.

YEAH. BUT WE DON'T KNOW WHEN IT IS BECAUSE YOU'D HAVE TO DO.

AND AND AGAIN, I WOULD SET IT THAT WAY WHERE IT AUTOMATICALLY WANTS THOSE RATES ARE ESTABLISHED, THEN WE'LL JUST UPDATE IT SO WE'RE NOT HAVING TO COME BACK TO UPDATE THOSE NUMBERS. I AGREE, I JUST I JUST WANT TO COMMON SENSE, COMMON SENSE APPROACH TO IT AND NOT PENALIZE ANYBODY THAT WHICH WE DON'T WANT TO DO, BUT NOT MAKE IT TOO COMPLICATED THAT IT CREATES PROBLEMS FOR AUDITORS OFFICE AND

[01:45:05]

SO THE CURRENT RATES THAT ARE ON THE FORM, IT'S $10 FOR BREAKFAST, $15 FOR LUNCH, AND $20, I BELIEVE FOR DINNER.

YOU'RE ON ANOTHER ISSUE.

YOU'RE ON YOUR SECOND ISSUE HERE.

I'M STILL ON THE FIRST ISSUE AND THAT IS I WOULD SAY THAT I'M GOING TO APPOINT I'M GOING TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPOINT BRIANNA AND KIM REAVIS THEREFORE BEING AUDITOR AND PURCHASING AND WHOEVER THEY CHOOSE TO INCLUDE ON THEIR COMMITTEE TO COME BACK WITH RECOMMENDATION TO COMMISSIONERS COURT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TO UPDATE THE TRAVEL POLICY. IS THAT FAIR, EVERYBODY? SO I WILL JUST SAY I DON'T THINK THAT WILL BE AT THE NEXT COURT.

I KNOW WE BOTH HAVE NO I UNDERSTAND THAT'S WHAT I SAID, BUT BUT AT LEAST THAT WE GET SOME BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW.

I DON'T KNOW ALL THE THINGS THAT COME INTO PLAY AND I DON'T I DON'T WANT TO PRETEND THAT I KNOW. SO GIVE YOU THE ABILITY TO DO THAT.

GO FORWARD AND COME BACK WHEN YOU HAVE THE SOLUTION. HOW'S THAT? I THINK JORGE NEEDS TO BE ON THAT COMMITTEE AS WELL.

MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER WALTON.

SECOND BY COMMISSIONER HALE, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER HALE.

IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM? ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. AYE. OPPOSED? NOW, CURIOUS ABOUT WHEN HE CALLED IT.

OKAY. YES. SO THE SECOND ISSUE IS JUST ME REQUESTING APPROVAL FOR MY TRAVEL

[7.M. Discuss/Take Action to approve travel reimbursement for Grant Coordinator. (Bianca Lord / Judge Deen) ]

SO BACK TO THE ISSUE OF THEN, IF WE APPROVE THIS FOR THIS CASE THAT THAT YOU'RE ASKING FOR, WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS FOR OTHER.

I'M ASKING THAT FOR PURCHASING AND HOW, HOW I DON'T I'M NOT TRYING TO PENALIZE SOMEBODY. BUT ALSO, ARE WE OPENING UP MORE THAN WHEN WE DO THIS? OR IS THIS JUST GOING TO SAY JUST THIS FOR ONE, THIS THIS PARTICULAR SITUATION RIGHT HERE, BECAUSE IT'S OUT OF STATE TRAVEL, WE'RE MAKING THE EXCEPTION TO WHAT THE TRAVEL POLICY SAYS A ONE TIME BASIS UNTIL WE GET THE POLICY BACK AT YOUR DISCRETION.

THAT'S AT YOUR DISCRETION.

EXACTLY WHAT HOW YOU WANT TO HANDLE IT.

BUT, YOU KNOW, THERE'S OTHER PEOPLE TRAVELING AS WELL.

SO IF THEY CAN HANDLE THAT.

I CAN'T SEE WHETHER SOMEONE ELSE WOULD COME AND ASK FOR THAT ADDITIONAL.

SO IF I UNDERSTAND THIS CORRECTLY, WHAT WE'RE NOW TALKING ABOUT IS $214 OF REIMBURSEMENT TO THE GRANT COORDINATOR FOR A TRIP TO WASHINGTON, D.C., WHERE SHE ENGAGED IN A EVENT WHERE THERE WAS NETWORKING, THERE WAS TRAINING ON GRANT ACQUISITION AND PROCUREMENT.

THERE WERE ALL SORTS OF THINGS THAT WERE VERY NECESSARY TO HER JOB.

AND THAT LOCATION IN WASHINGTON, D.C., WAS NECESSARY VERSUS SOMEWHERE IN TEXAS, BECAUSE THAT'S D.C.

IS WHERE THE FEDERAL GRANT FOLKS ARE.

CORRECT. SHE CAN GO TO AUSTIN.

CORRECT. AND GET ALL THIS IS OVER $214 IS WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.

THAT'S WHAT I'M HEARING. WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE IN WHAT'S IN THE IN THE GUIDELINES NOW VERSUS THAT ASK. SO IT'S HOW MUCH.

$35. SO WHAT'S 35 VERSUS A 214.

SO. SO IT'S 214 DOES NOT TAKE ACCOUNT FOR WHAT THE MEALS THAT WERE PROVIDED.

SO THE MEALS WERE PROVIDED. BREAKFAST AND LUNCH WERE PROVIDED FOR TWO TWO OF THE DAYS WOULD BE UNDER HOURS. SO CAN I.

SO IT HAD JUST BEEN LIKE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN $60 FOR THE DINNERS.

NO, NOT TWO, FOUR, SIX, EIGHT.

SO $80 FOR THE DINNERS.

AND THEN THE TRAVELS IN THE MORNING.

I'D LIKE TO MAKE THE MOTION THAT WE APPROVE REIMBURSING HER AT THE CURRENT IRS PER DIEM RATE FOR THOSE MEALS THAT WERE NOT PROVIDED.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.

AYE. OPPOSED? OH. YES.

OKAY. I WAS JUST GOING TO ASK ON THE FUNDING, ON THE QUARTERLY STIPENDS THAT MAY BE AVAILABLE.

IS THAT SOMETHING THAT YOU WILL PURSUE UNDER THAT? BECAUSE THERE WAS TWO DIFFERENT. WE WOULD AND THIS IS THE SAME AGREEMENT THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE PURSUED. SINCE WE HAVE BEEN GOING OUT AND ACTIVELY PURSUING ABSCONDERS, INDIVIDUALS WITH WARRANTS OCCASIONALLY RUN ACROSS INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE ILLEGAL IN THE US BASED ON THOSE THOSE WARRANT WARRANTS.

AND IF WE'RE ABLE TO BRING AN INDIVIDUAL IN, WE CAN GET THE SAME STIPENDS THAT THEY WOULD GET. OKAY. JUST WANTED CLARIFICATION.

SO THAT WAY, IF THAT DOES COME ABOUT, BECAUSE I THINK THERE WAS DIFFERENT FUNDING, THERE'S CERTAIN STUFF WITH OVERTIME AND STUFF, BUT I KNOW FOR THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE, THE ONLY THING WAS THE STIPENDS FOR EQUIPMENT. SO THEY MOVED OUT AND DOUBLE B DISCUSS APPROVE AMENDMENT NUMBER ONE TO THE

I HANDED IT THAT WAY. WE'RE STARTING WITH BONDS FIRST, THOUGH. YEAH, WE SENT A COUPLE OF THINGS AND PASSED IT BACK OVER THERE.

WOULD YOU LOOK AT ME? I'VE GIVEN EVERYTHING OVER THERE IN THIS WAY. I BET JOHN JOHN PROBABLY HAS IT.

YEAH. THAT DEAL YOU BROUGHT, I SIGNED IT, HE SIGNED IT? YEAH, HE KEPT IT OVER THERE.

BUT I DON'T HAVE IT.

I DID, YES, IT'S FOR THOSE.

IT'S OVER HERE. YOUR STUFF IS OVER HERE.

I FOUND IT BOTH. DO WHAT? THIS. OKAY, LET'S MOVE TO ITEM A, PRECINCT ONE UNDER ITEM ONE.

DISCUSS. APPROVE THE EXTENSION OF THE MAINTENANCE BOND IN THE FORM OF A SURETY BOND FOR EAGLE RIDGE ESTATES, PHASE ONE.

AND TAKE ANY ACTION THE COURT DEEMS NECESSARY. AND PRECINCT ONE.

SO TECHNICALLY, THIS IS STILL JUST FOR THE TWO YEAR MAINTENANCE BOND.

THE ORIGINAL SURETY BOND WAS ONLY GIVEN FOR A YEAR INSTEAD OF TWO YEARS.

THAT'S A $948,499.15 BOND.

SO THAT WILL PUT IT TO THE RIGHT DATE, WHICH WILL BE APRIL 25TH, 2027. MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER.

SECOND BY COMMISSIONER. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? GOOD.

AYE. OPPOSED? CARRIES FIVE ZERO.

MOVE TO ITEM THREE. APPROVE THE WAIVER FOR THE GROUNDWATER STUDY FOR SUBDIVISION B, KNOWN AS BRITT ACRES. PHASE TWO CONSISTS OF 25.8955 ACRES CONSISTING OF SEVEN LOTS.

SO I KNOW TRADITIONALLY WE DON'T DO IT FOR MORE THAN FIVE LOTS, BUT THE ORIGINAL GROUNDWATER STUDY WAS DONE FOR MORE THAN JUST THE FIRST PHASE OF BIRT ACRES. SO THIS GROUNDWATER STUDY WAS ONLY 8.57 SHORT OF THE TOTAL ACREAGE BETWEEN PHASE ONE AND PHASE TWO. IT WAS RECOMMENDED SPACE OF 150FT WITH A 200 FOOT DEPTH WITH A RECOMMENDED YIELD OF EIGHT GALLONS PER MINUTE.

SO COURTS REQUESTING A WAIVER FOR THAT BASED UPON THE COMMISSIONERS APPROVAL.

SO MOTION BY COMMISSIONER SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER HILL.

DISCUSSION. EVERYTHING GOOD? ALL THE DOCUMENTS ARE GOOD ON THIS SIDE. GOOD LUCK.

ALL FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE.

OPPOSED? CARRIES FIVE ZERO.

OKAY. THAT WAS THREE FOUR.

APPROVE AMENDED PLAT FOR SUBDIVISION KNOWN AS COTTON CREEK ESTATES,

[02:00:02]

SO THIS IS JUST FOR CLERICAL PURPOSES.

THEY ASKED TO ADD THE SPACING AROUND THE WELLS.

MY UNDERSTANDING IS IT'S FOR TCDC PURPOSES, SO THERE'S NOT ANYTHING ELSE OTHER THAN TRULY JUST AN AMENDMENT FOR CLERICAL PURPOSES TO ADD THAT DISTANCE ON THE PLAT.

COUNCIL. EVERYTHING GOOD? EVERYTHING IS OKAY. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER.

SECOND BY COMMISSIONER HALE. ANY DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. AYE.

OPPOSED? CARRIES FIVE ZERO.

IT'S A SUBDIVISION THAT'S ALREADY COMPLETED. BUT THIS PARTICULAR BUILDER REQUESTED IT.

IT'S BEEN APPROVED BY THE FOREMAN FOR PRECINCT ONE.

AND HE'S REVIEWED IT AND APPROVED THIS VARIANCE.

OKAY. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER HILL.

ANY DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.

OPPOSE CARRIES FIVE ZERO.

MOVE TO ITEM B, PRECINCT TWO, ITEM ONE APPROVED THE FINAL PLAT FOR

[10.B. PRECINCT 2 ]

WE'RE IN THE DISCUSSION PHASE. I'M GOING TO ASK THAT THE COURT AMEND THAT.

I APOLOGIZE IT ENDED UP STARTING OUT THAT WAY, BUT IT IS NOW A TWO ACRE LOT ONE BEING THE 4.451, THE SECOND ONE BEING 16.519 ACRES TOTALING 21.45 ACRES.

OKAY. SO THE MOTIONS BY COMMISSIONER HOLT.

COMMISSIONER WALTON, DID THEY ADJUST TO THAT? ALL DOCUMENTS IN ORDER. AND THE DEVELOPER HAS PROVIDED A CERTIFICATE SHOWING ZERO BALANCE.

THE DEPARTMENT HAS APPROVED PUBLIC WATER THROUGH NORTH RURAL W C AND PRIVATE WASTE DISPOSAL, AND THEY HAVE MET ALL OTHER LEGAL REQUIREMENTS. OKAY.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.

AYE. OPPOSED? OH, SORRY, COMMISSIONER.

ACCEPT THE SPECIAL WARRANTY DEED FOR RIGHT OF WAY OFF OLD GARNER ROAD FOR WHERE SUBDIVISION B, KNOWN AS EASTLAND ACRES, CONSISTING OF 4.451 ACRES WITH ONE LOT OF PRECINCT TWO. AND SO THESE ARE ESCROW FUNDS BASED UPON THE DEVELOPER AND THE FOREMAN'S DISCUSSIONS. THERE'S A ONE YEAR EXTENSION, SO THAT WOULD TAKE IT FROM APRIL 24TH, 2026 TO APRIL 24TH, 2027.

AND THIS IS A 303,000 YEAR ON 302.

MY BAD, I SKIPPED AHEAD.

I APOLOGIZE. JUST THE DEED.

YEAH, SORRY ABOUT THAT.

I WAS DOCUMENTATION. OKAY.

MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER WALTON. ANY DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? ALL RIGHT. I TALK FAST ENOUGH.

IT'S HARD TO INTERRUPT ME, SO I APOLOGIZE.

SO ON NUMBER THREE, WE'LL MOVE TO ITEM THREE.

REQUESTED AN EXTENSION ON THE CONSTRUCTION BOND.

SO THAT WOULD CHANGE THE EXPIRATION TO APRIL 24TH, 2027. IT'S A $303,148 BOND.

AND THAT IS ESCROWED FUNDS.

AND SO BASED UPON THE REQUEST AND THE FOREMAN, THEY'RE REQUESTING ME TO GO AND EXTEND THIS BOND SO THEY CAN FINISH THE ROADS. JUDGE, ARE YOU GOOD OR DO YOU HAVE TO OFFICIALLY READ IT FOR IT TO BE? WELL, I ACTUALLY SHE READ IT, SO IT'S.

YOU WANT ME TO READ THAT? WE'RE GOOD.

MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER. JUST TO CLARIFY, IT WAS READ IN COURT WHETHER SHE DID IT, I DIDN'T.

YEAH, I WOULD I WOULD ASK, LET ME OPEN IT TO READ IT.

YOU YOU TORTURE ME. YOU KNOW, YOU'RE KILLING ME.

I'M REALLY SORRY. I'M HUNGRY. OKAY.

APPROVE THE EXTENSION OF THE CONSTRUCTION. BUT THIS IS OPENING THE THIS APPROVE THE EXTENSION OF THE CONSTRUCTION BOND FOR THE SUBDIVISION KNOWN AS THE RESERVE AT TAYLOR BRANCH, LOCATED IN PRECINCT TWO.

WELL, THAT WAS FINE. WE'LL DO THAT AGAIN.

OKAY. MOVE TO ITEM C, PRECINCT THREE.

[10.C. PRECINCT 3 (Part 1 of 2)]

IT IS A PUBLIC HEARING.

LET ME GO AHEAD AND OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 1258.

IS THERE ANYONE HERE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON ITEM C? PRECINCT THREE ITEM ONE.

THE PUBLIC HEARING IS AT 1258.

HEARING ON SEEING NONE WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 1258 AND GO TO THE ITEM.

SO. OH, SORRY. OH, I WAS GOING TO SAY THERE'S THREE LOTS.

THEY RANGE FROM TWO ACRES TO 14.866 ACRES.

THIS REVISION IS BECAUSE OF SOME TKC REQUIREMENTS.

THERE IS WE ARE REQUESTING THAT THE COURT CONDITIONALLY APPROVE THIS.

THERE'S BEEN SOME HOLDUP WITH THE SBA, SO GETTING THE LIEN HOLDER TO SIGN OFF ON IT.

THEY'VE MET ALL THE REQUIREMENTS. THE MYLAR ITSELF IS GOOD TO GO. WE JUST NEED THAT SIGNATURE. BUT FOR PUBLIC HEARING PURPOSES WE'RE ASKING FOR CONDITIONAL APPROVAL.

WE'RE GOOD. JOHN AND PROPER NOTICE WAS PLACED ON NEWSPAPER LISTING THE DATE,

[02:05:05]

THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT HAS APPROVED PUBLIC WATER THROUGH PARK COUNTY AND PRIVATE WASTE DISPOSAL, AND I WAS ON A THREE WAY CALL WITH HIS BANK.

THEY HAVE VERIFIED THAT THEY ARE GOING TO SIGN THE LIEN HOLDER STATEMENT, SO WE WANT TO APPROVE THIS CONTINGENT UPON THEM GETTING THAT APPROVED.

SO OKAY. MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER WALTON, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER HOLT.

IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM? ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. AYE. OPPOSED? CARRIES FIVE ZERO. MOVE TO ITEM TWO AND ACCEPT THE SPECIAL.

WELL, JUST NO ACTION NUMBER TWO. I'M SORRY.

SINCE WE DON'T HAVE THE MYLAR SIGN, WE'RE NOT GOING TO ASK THE COURT TO READ IT FIRST. WELL, I THOUGHT HE DIDN'T WANT TO READ IT.

I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE POINT. TO CATCH HIM BEFORE HE READS IT.

WE'RE ALL GETTING HUNGRY HERE. LET'S MOVE ON.

YOU DON'T NEED TO READ IT. THANK YOU, YOUR HONOR. I APPRECIATE YOUR HONOR. ALL RIGHT. WE'LL MOVE TO ITEM D, PRECINCT FOUR, ITEM ONE,

[10.D. PRECINCT 4]

SO IN THIS CASE, YOU DO HAVE A ONE ACRE .1.00 ACRE AND A TWO ACRE LOT.

BOTH HAVE WELLS. THEY ARE PREEXISTING WELLS.

AND THE ONE ON THE ONE ACRE LOT PREDATES THE WATER WELL REQUIREMENTS.

BUT THAT WAIVER WAS ALREADY APPROVED SINCE WE GOT A REPORT SHOWING THAT IT WAS A GOOD CONDITION ON A PREVIOUS COURT DATE.

SO WE'RE ASKING THE COURT TO APPROVE THAT.

OKAY. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER CONNELLY. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.

OPPOSED? I DO WANT TO MOVE TO ITEM TWO.
