ALLOCATED THE NEWLY ACQUIRED JAMES CLAUDE WRIGHT HOME, 
          [00:05:08]
ALSO KNOWN AS THE JIM WRIGHT HOME TO THE HISTORICAL COMMISSION FOR OUR USE AS AN OFFICE,
MEETINGS PLACE AND A MUSEUM. 
          WHAT A JOURNEY THIS HAS BEEN. WE'RE IN THE EARLY STAGES OF REHABILITATION,
AS Y'ALL JUST VOTED. 
          THAT'S GOING TO HELP GETTING THE ENVELOPE OF IT DRIED IN SO WE CAN THEN BEGIN THE INTERIOR
RENOVATIONS. 
          WE BEGAN A LECTURE SERIES IN MARCH, WITH THE FIRST LECTURE BEING HELD IN THE NEWLY
RENOVATED CHAPEL AT THE OLD COTTON AND BROUGHTON FUNERAL HOME. 
          IT'S NOW HOME TO ZINO'S AND THE CHAPEL BAR. THE FIRST LECTURE WAS FACILITATED BY BRENDA
MCCLURKIN, AND SHE HAD ACQUIRED A GUEST BOOK THAT HAD BELONGED TO INA COUNCILMAN CHANDLER,
AND SHE TOLD OF THE SIGNATURES THAT WERE IN THIS BOOK. THEY INCLUDED US PRESIDENTS ACTORS AND ACTRESSES
AND FOREIGN DIGNITARIES. IT HAD TRAVELED ALL OVER THE WORLD WITH HER. 
          THE SECOND LECTURE WAS HELD AT CENTRAL CHRISTIAN CHURCH AND WAS ENTITLED THE RED OCHER
BURIALS. 
          THIS LECTURE WAS FACILITATED BY LAINI GARMON,
THE DAUGHTER OF HOMER. 
          HOMER NORRIS. THE REMAINS OF TWO PREHISTORIC NATIVE AMERICANS WERE FOUND AND EXHUMED FROM
HER FATHER'S PROPERTY IN ONIDA. 
          THEY WERE THEN SENT TO THE SMITHSONIAN MUSEUM IN WASHINGTON,
DC FOR EVALUATION AND ANALYSIS. 
          ALSO SPEAKING AT THAT LECTURE WAS A NOTED ARCHEOLOGIST,
AND I FORGOT HIS NAME, WHO DISCUSSED THE DIFFERENT BANDS OF NATIVE AMERICANS THAT HAD EITHER LIVED IN THIS AREA OR TRAVELED THROUGH THIS AREA THE TIME THESE BURIALS HAD TAKEN
PLACE. 
          HE WILL BE BACK FOR ONE OF OUR LECTURES FOR THIS YEAR'S LECTURE SERIES. 
          OUR THIRD LECTURE WAS LEFT THE AUDITORIUM AND TOOK US TO THE STREETS. 
          IT WAS A VERY POPULAR WALKING TOUR OF DOWNTOWN WEATHERFORD IN THE LATE EVENING. 
          WE HAD SEVERAL MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION WHO TOLD STORIES OR TOLD THE HISTORY OF VARIOUS
BUILDINGS AND BUSINESSES IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA. 
          AND THEN DOCENTS TOLD THE FOLKLORE OF THOSE SAME BUSINESSES AND BUILDINGS. 
          THESE WERE HELD AFTER DARK, AND EVERYONE CARRIED A LANTERN OF SOME KIND TO LIGHT OUR WAY. 
          THEREFORE, IT BECAME KNOWN AS THE LANTERN TOURS. 
          ALL THREE OF THESE IN THE LECTURE SERIES WERE WELL RECEIVED BY THE COMMUNITY. 
          WE ALSO PARTICIPATED IN SEVERAL EVENTS HELD IN DOWNTOWN,
OPENING OUR OFFICE FOR SEVERAL THINGS SUCH AS THE DOWNTOWN HOP AROUND SUNSET ON THE SQUARE, THE SHERIFF'S POSSE ANNUAL STREET, STREET DANCE AND THE PEACH FESTIVAL FOR SEVERAL
OF THESE. 
          WE WERE ABLE TO SERVE ICE COLD ROOT BEER FURNISHED BY ANTEBELLUM ALE HOUSE.

IS THE TEAM LEAD FOR OUR COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND EDUCATION COMMITTEE, AND SEVERAL OF HER TEAM MEMBERS CREATED STORYBOARDS CAPTURING THE HISTORY AND THE SPIRIT
OF PARKER COUNTY. 
          FOLKS, YOUNG AND OLD FOUND THESE BOARDS FASCINATING,
AND YOU'D BE SURPRISED AT HOW MUCH TIME EVEN YOUNG KIDS TOOK READING THEM. 
          OCTOBER WAS A VERY BUSY MONTH FOR THE COMMISSION.

          AND YOU HAVE THE FLOOR. CHRIS BOSCO WITH FREESE AND NICHOLS. 
          I HIT A HOME RUN WITH THAT SEAT. IT'S RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE. 
          OKAY. SO I'M GOING TO GO REALLY QUICK HERE AND THOUGHT I'LL JUST KIND OF HIT THE
HIGHLIGHTS AND THEN WHATEVER. 
          YEAH. GIVEN THE CIRCUMSTANCES, I MEAN, DON'T MISS ANY,
DON'T LEAVE ANYTHING OUT, BUT I MEAN, TRY TO, YOU KNOW, JUST GIVEN THE CLIMATE WE'RE IN HERE. SO ON THE PROGRAM UPDATES WE ARE ACTIVELY HAVING
MEETINGS WITH THE MUNICIPALITIES AND COG KIND OF GETTING THEIR INPUT ON THE THOROUGHFARE PLAN. 
          WE'RE ALSO WORKING WITH TEXAS ON ADVANCED FUNDING AGREEMENT FOR THE FRONTAGE ROAD
PROJECTS. 
          I'LL, THIS MAP, YOU KNOW, WILL OF COURSE HAVE THAT ON THE WEBSITE. 
          YOU KNOW, SOME HIGHLIGHTS IN EACH PRECINCT. OF COURSE,
MIDWAY AND THOMAS ARE UNDER CONSTRUCTION CREWS ARE WORKING WITH THE CONTRACTOR ON VILLE STATION ON GETTING A DATE FOR REPAIRING THAT ASPHALT. 
          SO THAT'S SOME KEY UPDATES THERE. PRECINCT TWO THE CENTRAL ROAD CULVERTS ARE UNDER
CONSTRUCTION. 
          [00:30:05]
I KNOW GETTING THAT DONE BEFORE SCHOOLS CRITICAL HALF WORKING WITH THEM,
GETTING THEM GOING WITH ZION HILL INTERSECTION. IT WAS ONE OF THE KEY PROJECTS ADDED TO THEIR CONTRACT. 
          WORKING ON THE SOME OPTIONS FOR THE POJO EXTENSION SOME ALIGNMENT OPTIONS THERE. 
          AND SO WE'RE WORKING ON GETTING YOU SOME COST ESTIMATES FOR THOSE DIFFERENT OPTIONS. 
          AND THEN THE CARTER ROAD'S BEEN SUBMITTED TO TECH STOCK FOR THEIR REVIEW. 
          AND WE'RE ANTICIPATING THOSE COMMENTS ANY TIME NOW. 
          PRECINCT THREE THE, WE'RE GOING TO TALK A LITTLE MORE ABOUT THE FRONTAGE ROAD PROJECT. 
          ONE OF THE ITEMS ON COURT TODAY IS A FEASIBILITY STUDY,
AND I'LL GO INTO MORE DETAIL ON THAT IN THE NEXT ITEM. 
          LOOKING TO GET THE RAMPS LET HERE IN AUGUST. FAIRVIEW. 
          WE'RE STILL KIND OF WORKING THROUGH SOME OF THE UTILITY ITEMS THERE SO WE CAN GET THAT
PAVING COMPLETED AND THEN ACTIVELY WORKING ON THE 1884 PROJECT. THAT SCHEMATIC WORK PRECINCT FOUR YOU WERE WORKING WITH THE BANKHEAD JOB TO
GET THAT OUT FOR BID THAT KIND OF IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PLAN THAT WE'VE BEEN DISCUSSING THE KELLY ROAD
PROJECT. 
          THE CONTRACTOR IS AHEAD OF SCHEDULE THERE ON THE PAVING AND WORKING TO GET THAT
INTERSECTION ADDED THERE AT BEAR CREEK. 
          SO THE WEBSITE OF COURSE YOU SAW IT LAST COURT. 
          MORGAN'S DONE A LOT OF UPDATES TO ADD PHOTOS AND MORE INFORMATION AROUND THE TRAFFIC
CONTROL OF EACH PROJECT. 
          SO THAT CAN BE ACCESSED WHERE IT'S ALWAYS BEEN. 
          AND LIKE WE MENTIONED IN THE PAST, IF ANY CITIZEN HAS AN INTEREST IN THE I-20 PROJECT,
THIS IS THE LINK TO TECH STOCKS INFORMATION ON THAT PROJECT. AND SO I'LL OPEN IT UP TO ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU GUYS HAVE. 
          COMMISSIONERS, YOU GOT ANY COMMENTS? THANK YOU CHRIS. 
          ALSO WE HAVE UNDER ITEM B ON THE DISCUSS TAKE ACTION ON THE INTERSTATE INTERSTATE 20
FRONTAGE ROAD PROJECT. 
          [5.B. Discuss/Take action on IH-20 Frontage Road Project additional services. (Chris Bosco I Commissioner Walden)]
ADDITIONAL SERVICES. CHRIS. YES. SO FOR A MAP LOCATION. 
          SO THIS IS THE I-20 FRONTAGE ROAD PROJECT THAT GRAHAM AND ASSOCIATES IS DESIGNING FOR YOU
GUYS. 
          ONE THING OF NOTE IS RIGHT NOW THEIR CONTRACT IS TO DO FRONTAGE ROAD SCHEMATIC. 
          IF YOU RECALL, WHEN WE KICKED THAT JOB OFF, THERE WAS A BIGGER I-20 PROJECT THAT WAS GOING
TO BE STUDYING THE WHOLE CORRIDOR OF I-20. 
          THAT PROJECT IS ON HOLD AT THE MOMENT. SO WE'VE BEEN COORDINATING WITH TECH STOCK ON KIND
OF WHAT STEPS WE NEED TO TAKE TO BE ABLE TO PROGRESS THIS SEGMENT OF 20. AND SO THAT IS WHAT THIS FEASIBILITY STUDY IS. 
          AND I'LL ZOOM IN HERE SO Y'ALL CAN SEE THE NUMBERS. 
          SO THE IDEA HERE IS THAT WE WOULD DO THIS AMENDMENT WITH GRAHAM'S CONTRACT. 
          SO IN ADDITION TO THE FRONTAGE ROADS, THEY'LL BE PLANNING OUT THE ULTIMATE CONFIGURATION
OF THE RAMPS AND THE INTERCHANGES IN THAT STRETCH. 
          THE IDEA IS WE'LL ADVANCE THIS WITH A PARTNERSHIP WITH TECH STOCK. 
          AND THEN, YOU KNOW, THEY'LL BE PARTNERING WITH US ON OTHER ASPECTS OF THE PROJECT TO GET
IT CONSTRUCTED. 
          SO WE FEEL LIKE THIS IS VERY VALUABLE TO PROGRESS THAT WORK ALSO WITH,
YOU KNOW, DEVELOPMENT IN THAT AREA PLANNING FOR THAT ULTIMATE CONFIGURATION, WHICH ULTIMATELY ADVANCE THE ENTIRE I-20 PROJECT. 
          SO THE SCOPE HERE IS TRAFFIC STUDIES RELATED TO IT CONCEPTUAL DESIGNS FOR THE RAMPS AND
THE INTERCHANGES. AND SO WHAT YOU'LL SEE HERE IS THE GRAHAM AND ASSOCIATES FEE WOULD BE
381,000 FOR 75 AND THEN THE FREEZER NICHOLS PORTION FOR THE CONSULTANT MANAGEMENT IS 19,000 75. 
          Y'ALL, Y'ALL HAVE A DIRECT CONTRACT WITH GRAHAM AND WITH US. 
          BUT THE TOTAL SEEKING APPROVAL IS 400,005 50. 
          SO I THINK THE KEY TAKEAWAY HERE IS THAT THIS WILL ADVANCE THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS OF
I-20, WHICH IS SOMETHING WE'RE ALL, ALL. YES, SIR. IN FAVOR OF. 
          AND WE DO HAVE FUNDING IN THE BOND FOR THIS AND,
AND IN SPENDING THIS MONEY. 
          NOW, HOPEFULLY WE WILL RECOUP THAT BACK FROM ANOTHER PROJECT FROM TXDOT IS FOR OUR
DISCUSSIONS. 
          CORRECT? YEAH, THAT IS CORRECT. YEAH. AND SO FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE,
I THINK IT MAKES IT A GOOD MOVE FOR US AT THIS POINT TO MOVE THAT ON DOWN THE ROAD AND HOPEFULLY GET IN LINE FOR SOME ADDITIONAL FUNDING FROM FROM AN T COG. 
          [00:35:05]
FOR FOR THE I-20 PROJECT. AND SO THAT'S THE THAT'S THE DESIRED OUTCOME. 
          YES, ABSOLUTELY. IF YOU REMEMBER, JUDGE, WHEN ME AND BRIAN MET WITH DAVID SALAZAR SEVERAL
MONTHS AGO HE KIND OF SPURRED THIS OF, OF, YOU KNOW, COULD COULD Y'ALL HELP PROGRESS THAT. 
          SO THAT'S KIND OF WHAT SPURRED THIS IN MOTION,
RIGHT? WITH THAT, I MOVE TO APPROVE. OKAY. MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER SECOND BY COMMISSIONER
HALE. 
          ANY DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM BEFORE WE VOTE? ALL IN FAVOR,
VOTE. 
          CHRIS, STAY WHERE YOU ARE, PLEASE. I'M GOING TO MOVE TO ITEM EIGHT A ON. 
          [8.A. Authorize the County Judge to execute the Family Land Heritage Program for King Farm Family & Ranch. (Lany King I John Forrest/ Judge Deen)]
AUTHORIZE THE COUNTY JUDGE TO EXECUTE THE FAMILY LAND HERITAGE PROGRAM FOR KING FARM
FAMILY AND RANCH. 
          JOHN, I HAVE YOU ON HERE WITH LARRY KING, BUT ALSO I'M SORRY. 
          LARRY. I'M SORRY, I APOLOGIZE. WE'VE GOT I SEE A COUPLE OF GUYS SITTING BACK HERE IN THE
BACK AND A COUPLE OF BROTHERS, AND THAT'S GOING TO ENCOMPASS ITEMS EIGHT A AND EIGHT B ME. 
          AND I THINK, LARRY, YOU'RE FIRST IF Y'ALL WANT TO COME UP AND JUST KIND OF TELL US IF
YOU'RE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE FAMILY LAND HERITAGE PROGRAM PUT ON BY TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE,
IT RECOGNIZES LANDOWNERS WHO HAVE, HAVE OWNED THEIR PROPERTY FOR A LONG, LONG TIME BEGINNING WITH 100 YEARS. AND I THINK THEY'VE STEPPED THINGS UP A LITTLE
BIT, ADDED SOME THINGS TO IT, BUT THAT REQUIRES APPROVAL BY THE COUNTY JUDGE AND BY
COMMISSIONERS COURT BEFORE BEFORE THAT APPLICATION CAN GO FORWARD. 
          AND SO IT'S A IT'S A REALLY GOOD THING. I HAPPEN TO KNOW THESE GUYS VERY WELL BECAUSE
THEY'RE FAMILY LAND JOINS MINE AND I'VE KNOWN THEM THEIR MY ENTIRE LIFE, YOU KNOW, THE OTHER YEAR OR TWO OLDER THAN ME,
MAYBE, BUT I'VE KNOWN THEM ALL THE TIME. 
          SO I APPRECIATE THEM BEING HERE. I ALSO TELL YOU THAT THAT NOT ALL THAT MANY YEARS AGO,
THEIR FATHER, DELMAR KING, SERVED AS COUNTY JUDGE HERE IN PARKER COUNTY. 
          AND SO I'M, I'M PROUD TO HAVE THEM HERE TODAY. 
          LARRY, HOW MANY YEARS HAVE Y'ALL OWNED THE PROPERTY? OKAY. MY ANCESTORS CAME IN 1872. IT WAS PATENTED FROM THE STATE OF TEXAS. 
          ARTIE BALLS, AND I'M THE FIFTH GENERATION. I'M A BROTHER OF THE HOMESTEAD,
SO YEAH, IT'S BEEN IN THE FAMILY CONTINUOUS. AND I HOPE FOR THE NEXT GENERATIONS IT STAYS THAT WAY. 
          BUT WHEN MY GREAT GREAT GRANDPA MIGRATED FROM MISSISSIPPI TO COME HERE,
IT'S KIND OF IRONIC. 
          I SEE THE SAME THING NOW THAT PEOPLE ARE COMING FROM THE EAST. 
          YEAH. COMING TO OUR AREA OF THE WEST PART OF PARKER COUNTY. 
          AND I REALLY FEEL THERE'S GOING TO BE FEWER AND FEWER OF THESE HERITAGE AWARDS,
BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE ERRORS AND THE PRESSURES ARE GOING TO BE UNDER. AND YES, MY DAD WAS AN ACTING JUDGE. HE WAS THE LAST DEMOCRAT JUDGE IN THIS COUNTY. 
          WHAT YEAR WAS THAT, DO Y'ALL RECALL? 92 BEFORE BEN LONG. 
          YEAH. I THINK THE RESIGNATION OF THE JUDGE PROMPTED THE SISTER THAT WENT TO WORK FOR ANN
RICHARDS. 
          SO THAT LEFT A VACANCY. AND THE COURT GRACIOUSLY LET HIM SERVE THE REMAINING TERM. 
          HE WAS APPOINTED AND HE SERVED AS COUNTY JUDGE. 
          HE ENJOYED IT. YUP. AND HE WAS A LEGISLATOR IN AUSTIN IN THE 1930S UNDER PAPPY O'DANIEL. 
          HE, HE, HE WAS SERVED AS STATE REPRESENTATIVE FROM PARKER COUNTY IN 1932,
39, 41, 39 THROUGH 41. 
          I ALSO HAVE ANOTHER TRIVIA FACT. HE ALSO PLAYED BASKETBALL AT THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS. 
          YEP. SURE DID. WOW. AND COACHED AT DENNIS AND POOLVILLE AND GARNER AND GARNER. 
          YEP. SO WE CERTAINLY RECOGNIZE AND THANK HIM FOR HIS SERVICE IN THE PAST. 
          THAT'S A PLEASURE. THAT'S THAT'S GREAT INFORMATION. 
          DO Y'ALL HAVE ANY ANYTHING ELSE ON THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO TALK ABOUT OR ADA RIGHT NOW,
WHICH IS THE LARRY LARRY SIDE. 
          SO I'M GOING TO MOVE THAT WE APPROVE AGENDA ITEM EIGHT,

SECOND BY COMMISSIONER HOLT. 
          ANY DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? CARRIES FIVE ZERO. 
          JUST TO EXECUTE. MAKE SURE WE'RE FOLLOWING THROUGH WITH THAT. 
          COMMISSIONER. WELL, WHAT WE'RE GOING TO EIGHT. 
          BE RIGHT NOW. OKAY. BECAUSE THAT'S GOING TO BE KENNETH KENNETH'S SIDE. 
          IT'S ALL IT'S ALL HOME PLACE. BUT THERE'S IS THEY INDIVIDUALLY OWN EACH PIECE NOW. 
          OKAY. I'LL JUST I WON'T REPEAT WHAT MY BROTHER SAID BECAUSE IT'S ALL THE SAME. 
          OTHER THAN THE FACT THAT I HAVE A DAUGHTER AND GRANDDAUGHTER,
WHICH EXTENDS MY GENERATIONS NOW TO SEVEN ON THE HOMESTEAD. 
          OH, WOW. SO OKAY, ITEM B UNDER THE AUTHORIZING COUNTY JUDGE TO EXECUTE THE FAMILY LAND
HERITAGE PROGRAM FOR K3 RANCH AND WELCOME AND THANK YOU FOR COMING.

          THANK YOU. YOU KNOW, DON'T NORMALLY DO THIS. WOULD YOU LIKE TO COME UP? WE NEED A PICTURE. YES, YES. COME ON UP. COME ON UP. 
          COME ON. Y'ALL COME UP. I WANT TO JUST SAY ONE THING THAT I. 
          I'VE HAD A PRIVILEGE OF LATE. WE'VE GOT SOME PEOPLE FROM THE HERITAGE SOCIETY OR THE TEXAS
PARKER COUNTY HISTORIC COMMISSION HERE, AND I'VE HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF SPEAKING. I WANT TO SAY SOMETHING HERE WITH THIS AUDIENCE
THAT I HAVE THAT'S VERY SPECIAL WITH THESE GUESTS THAT THAT I, IT'S A COMMON THEME THAT I'VE SAID AT THESE EVENTS. 
          IT APPLIES HERE THAT WHILE WE'RE HAVING ALL THIS GROWTH AND WE'RE NUMBER FOUR,
AND I'M HERE FOR IN TOP TEN IN THE NATION, I THINK IT'LL PROBABLY BE A REALLY BETTER ACCURATE PICTURE THIS. 
          BUT TO HAVE THIS AND HAVE THE REPRESENTATIVES IN MULTIPLE GENERATIONS,
INCLUDING ONE OF OUR ILLUSTRIOUS COMMISSIONER WALDEN. 
          I SAY THIS AND I KNOW YOU KNOW WHAT I'M GOING TO SAY,
AND I THINK THAT IF WE DON'T HAVE A GROUNDING OF WHO WE ARE AND WHERE WE COME FROM, THEN YOU LOSE WHO YOU ARE GOING INTO THE FUTURE AND YOU LOSE YOUR IDENTITY AS YOU
DEFINE WHAT YOU'RE BECOMING GOING FORWARD WITH THE GROWTH, IT'S CRITICAL THAT WE HAVE THIS TOUCH AND MAINTAIN THAT CONNECTION TO OUR PAST. 
          AND THIS DOES THAT. AND THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER,
FOR DOING THAT. 
          LARRY. YEAH, I THINK THAT'S CERTAINLY APPROPRIATE. 
          I WASN'T JUMPING THAT. YEAH. ALL RIGHT. ONE. TWO. 
          THREE. ONE MORE. ONE. TWO. THREE. OKAY. THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

          I DON'T KNOW. LARRY. I DON'T HAVE THE FORM TO GET THOSE SIGNS. GET THEM BACK. YEAH. OKAY,

SIX C ON THE PRESENTATION UPDATE FROM TYLER TECHNOLOGIES. 
          JAMES. THERE HE IS. GOOD MORNING COURT. I'VE ASKED TYLER TECHNOLOGIES TO COME PRESENT TO THE COURT OVER TICKETS,
OPEN TICKETS, CLOSE TICKETS AND OVERALL PERFORMANCE WITH TYLER,
BECAUSE THAT IS OUR JUDICIAL SYSTEM THAT WE USE THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. 
          ALMOST MAJORITY OF THE DEPARTMENTS. SO THEY'RE HERE TO GIVE AN UPDATE ON THAT. 
          OKAY. THANK YOU. AND STATE YOUR NAME, PLEASE. 
          YES. TIFFANY CURNUTT, SENIOR CLIENT EXECUTIVE AT TYLER TECHNOLOGIES. 
          WE APPRECIATE YOU GUYS HAVING US HERE. AND WE'VE ENJOYED A RELATIONSHIP WITH PARKER COUNTY
SINCE ABOUT 2012 OR SO. 
          I WAS WITH THE DIFFERENT DIVISIONS. I WASN'T I WASN'T PART OF THE TEAM AT THAT TIME. I'VE
HAD THE PLEASURE OF WORKING WITH YOU ALL JUST THE LAST HANDFUL OF MONTHS, WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH JAMES AND BRIAN HERE OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS ON A FEW ISSUES OPENING
UP CASES, CLOSING CASES, AND HOW TO ESCALATE AND WORK THROUGH CASES. 
          SO WE'VE HAD A GREAT AMOUNT OF PROGRESS. IN FACT,
WHEN I RECEIVED THAT FIRST CALL EARLY MAY, IT WAS THE FIRST WEEK IN MAY. WE SAID, OKAY,
LET'S GET ON SITE. 
          LET'S ONE OF THE JUDGES IN PARTICULAR WHO REQUESTED AN ON SITE TO WORK THROUGH AND GO
THROUGH SOME TRAINING AND TWO WEEKS INTO IT TO KIND OF WORKING VIRTUALLY OR REMOTELY HE ADVISED IT NO LONGER NEEDED US ON SITE, FELT LIKE IT WAS GOOD. 
          SO WE'VE GONE THROUGH A COUPLE OF, WE'VE HAD A COUPLE OF MAJOR MILESTONES. 
          WE HAVE A RESET JUDGE TOWSON'S CALENDARS ENTIRELY. 
          THAT WAS THAT WAS A PAIN POINT. AND THERE WAS ALSO A PAIN POINT AROUND FORMS AND FORMS IS
SOMETHING THAT'S CONFIGURED BY THE COUNTY ITSELF. 
          SO WE'VE PROVIDED SOME TRAINING AND WORKSHOP OPTIONS THERE AS WELL AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE
A PART OF THE TEXAS TYLER USER GROUP, WHICH IS A MEMBER RUN OR CLIENT RUN GROUP THAT LEADS CHANGE AND INNOVATION WITHIN THE
TYLER PRODUCTS. 
          SO WE PROVIDED THOSE RESOURCES. WE'VE ALSO PARTNERED PARKER COUNTY WITH THE CLIENT SUCCESS
ACCOUNT MANAGER, 
          [00:45:03]
AND SHE'S OFFERED TO MEET WEEKLY. THERE HASN'T BEEN A NEED. 
          IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE FROM THE COUNTY TO TO ATTEND WEEKLY MEETINGS AT THIS POINT,
BUT WE'RE AVAILABLE AND REMAIN ENGAGED FOR ANY ADDITIONAL CONVERSATIONS AROUND THAT. 
          WE ALSO HAD A REQUEST FOR THE PARKER COUNTY PRO FORMA,
AS IT SOUNDS LIKE, PREDATES ME HERE AS WELL. 
          BUT YOU GUYS WERE SURPRISED BY AN INCREASE LAST YEAR IN IN FEES SACHSE FEES. 
          THOSE ARE CONTRACTUAL FEES. BUT WE PROVIDED JAMES AND TEAM THE PRO FORMA FOR NEXT YEAR. 
          SO YOU KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT WITH THE STANDARD CONTRACTUAL INCREASES FOR THE SAAS
AGREEMENTS. 
          THOSE WERE PROVIDED ON MAY 12TH. I THINK THOSE WERE ALL OF THE UPDATES THAT I HAD,
BUT ABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE ANY. 
          I ALSO HAVE GREG MILLER, DIRECTOR OF SUPPORT WITH US. 
          ALEJO BILLINGS, WHO'S WITH THE CLIENT EXECUTIVE TEAM AS WELL. 
          AND JOHN GALBREATH, YOUR CLIENT OR SORRY, YOUR ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE. 
          I PROBABLY HIS TITLE IS PROBABLY WRONG. HE'S BEEN A SALES GUY WITH US FOR A LONG TIME. 
          YOU'RE WELCOME. THANK YOU. Y'ALL HAVE ANYTHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO ADD OR? OKAY. 
          AGAIN, JUDGE, I DO HAVE A QUESTION. SO JUDGE TOLSON HAS EXPRESSED HIS CONCERNS MORE THAN
ONCE. 
          IF HE WERE HERE AND WE ASKED HIM, DO YOU THINK ALL OF HIS CONCERNS HAVE BEEN FULLY
ADDRESSED? I FEEL PRETTY STRONGLY THAT WE ABOUT YES, WE RECEIVED A VERY PASSIONATE HANDFUL OF EMAILS
FROM THE JUDGE AND WORKED EXPEDITIOUSLY TO ACHIEVE THOSE AND OFFER ON SITE VISITS THE VERY NEXT WEEK. 
          AND WE OFFERED A SERIES OF DATES. AND HIS RESPONSE WAS,
EVERYTHING'S WORKING AS EXPECTED, SO THERE'S NO NEED FOR AN ON SITE, BUT WE'LL REMAIN ENGAGED. 
          I REALLY DO THINK THE GAP WAS THE FORUM'S TRAINING AND THEN THE SCHEDULE. 
          HIS SCHEDULE CALENDAR WASN'T SYNCING WITH THE SYSTEM AND ABSOLUTELY CAN SEE WHERE THAT
WOULD BE. 
          INCREDIBLY FRUSTRATING. SO THAT'S BEEN RESOLVED. AND I WANT TO ADD TO THAT BECAUSE I WAS I
WAS COPIED ON THOSE. 
          AND YEAH, I THINK HE CONVEYED HIS POSITION QUITE ELOQUENTLY. 
          AND YOUR RESPONSE WAS PROFESSIONAL AND YOU EXECUTED THE CONCERNS QUICKLY,
AND YOU RESOLVED THEM TO GET A COMPLIMENTARY BACK FROM HIM SO QUICKLY. THAT SAID A LOT ABOUT HOW THAT WAS ADDRESSED BY YOUR FIRM. 
          THANK YOU. AND SO, YEAH, I THINK IT'S ALL OKAY AT THIS POINT IS I UNDERSTAND. 
          AND JUDGE JAMES, WOULD YOU LIKE TO ADD? YEAH. 
          CAN WE ASK JAMES TO COME TO THE MIC? WELL, I WILL UPDATE ON THAT AFTER THE EMAIL WAS SENT. 
          WORKING WITH TYLER. GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE. 
          WE'VE HAD WEEKLY MEETINGS, SOMETIMES TWICE A WEEK. 
          WE DID OFFER TO HAVE THEM COME ON SITE WITH TOWNSENDS OFFICE AND THEY SAID,
NO, THE ISSUE HAS BEEN RESOLVED, WORKING PRETTY GOOD. SO WE'RE CONTINUING THAT COMMUNICATION WITH CURRENT ISSUES AND
WORKING ON IT EVERY WEEK TO RESOLVE OPEN ISSUES WITH THEM. 
          SO COMMUNICATION HAS BEEN PHENOMENAL. THANK YOU FOR ADDING TO THAT. 
          DO WE HAVE OUR DISTRICT CLERK OR COUNTY CLERK? Y'ALL HAVE ANY OPINIONS? I DON'T REALLY HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD. 
          WE'RE IN A GOOD POSITION WITH OUR SUPPORT TICKETS AND WORKING THROUGH THOSE WITH TYLER. 
          SO WE FEEL LIKE WE HAVE A GOOD RELATIONSHIP AND A GOOD RESPONSE FROM THEM. 
          MY COMMENTS AM I ON? I AGREE WITH KARINA AND I CAN SURE SEE JOHN HAYWOOD'S POINT OF VIEW
BECAUSE SOMETIMES IT IS A LITTLE FRUSTRATING, BUT I TEND TO FOCUS ON THE THINGS THAT THEY CAN DO AND THE THINGS THEY DO VERY WELL. 
          AND THERE'S A HANDFUL OF THINGS THAT STILL NEEDS A LITTLE WORK,
BUT I'VE HAD SOME VERY FRANK CONVERSATIONS, ESPECIALLY WITH JOHN. AND I'VE NOTICED ANYTIME I REACH OUT,
IT IMPROVES A LITTLE. 
          YOU KNOW, IT IMPROVES EVERY TIME. SUMMER. DID YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD? SUMMER SIMMONS IS
MY CHIEF DEPUTY, AND SHE WORKS WITH IT WAY MORE THAN I DO. BUT OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS,
I'VE SEEN HUGE IMPROVEMENTS. 
          SO. OKAY, GOOD. ANYTHING ELSE ANYBODY WANTS TO ADD? THANK YOU FOR COMING. THANK ALL OF YOU. ALL FOR COMING. OF COURSE. THANK YOU. I WANT TO
MOVE TO ITEM D ON THE DISCUSSION UPDATE ON REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION 
          [6.D. Discussion/Update on Regional Transportation Council Meeting. (Judge Deen)]
COUNCIL. I ATTENDED THE LAST I THINK I'VE ACTUALLY ATTENDED TWO MEETINGS BEFORE THE LAST
COMMISSIONERS COURT. 
          I THINK IT'S BEEN QUITE A FEW. AND I WANT TO FIRST ANNOUNCE THAT THERE IS GOING TO BE A A SUMMARY REPORT THAT IS GOING TO BE GENERATED BY THE RTC THAT WE CAN DISTRIBUTE OUT TO
ALL OUR PARTNERS WITH ALL THE NEIGHBORING CITIES AND THE COUNTIES THAT I REPRESENT. TO GIVE A BROADER AND THAT WILL BE GIVEN TO YOU ON THE NEXT
ONE. 
          SO IT'LL HAVE A MORE. WHAT WHAT I THINK IS NOT IT MAY NOT BE IMPORTANT TO REFERENCE WHERE
THERE'S A WHOLE LOT OF ACTIVITY ON THE ON THE EASTERN QUADRANT IN THE IN THE DISTRICT. 
          [00:50:03]
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THE DIRECTOR, MIKE MORRIS,
HAS SAID AND HAS PUSHED AND I'VE TALKED WITH THE CITY OF WEATHERFORD, WHICH THIS HEAVILY IMPACTS, AND WE'LL BE TALKING WITH IT AS WE GET OUR COMMITTEE ON THE ON
THE GROUND AND MOVING IS EAST WEST PROJECTS, WHERE EAST HAS GOTTEN A LOT OF A GREAT DEAL OF ACTIVITY. 
          MR. MORRIS HAS COME TO ME AND ASKED FOR AN INVENTORY OF PROJECTS THAT WE CAN GIVE THEM
THAT THEY CAN BEGIN WORKING ON. 
          WE'RE WORKING WITH WEATHERFORD ON THAT. THAT IS A BENEFIT THAT IS IN ADDITION TO THE,
THE BOND. 
          IT IS IN ADDITION TO THE MATCHING FUNDS THAT WE'VE GOT. 
          IT'S PROJECTS THAT THEY WILL WORK WITH US AND FUND MORE TO COME ON THAT. 
          AND BRIAN WILL BE PROVIDING INFORMATION ON THAT AS WE GET CONTINUE TO GET. 
          AND I THINK THERE'S A PROJECT THAT WEATHERFORD HAS SUBMITTED AND THERE'LL BE AN UPDATE ON
THAT ONE, BUT IT'S A SIGNIFICANT WIN FOR US. THERE CONTINUES TO BE SOME DISCUSSION BETWEEN THE
COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS AND THE RTC ON WHAT ROLE EACH PLAYS IN WORKING TOGETHER. AND I SEE THE END OF THAT COMING CLOSELY TO WORKING TOGETHER. 
          AND I'M, I'M PROUD TO ANNOUNCE THAT MIKE MORRIS IS THE DIRECTOR OF THE REGIONAL
TRANSPORTATION COUNCIL AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE THE REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION COUNCIL DIRECTOR. SO THAT'S ALL I HAVE ON THAT. IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS,
I'D BE HAPPY TO TRY TO ANSWER THEM. 
          OKAY. TAKE NO ACTION ON ITEM D. WE'LL MOVE TO UNDER SEVEN A ON THE PRECINCT. 
          THREE WILL BE ON PRIVATE PROPERTY AND DANIEL ROAD AND FM 1189 TO IMPROVE VISIBILITY AND
OWNER OF BILLIARD FARMS. AND THAT IS A NOTIFICATION. WE MOVE DOWN TO ITEM 81.

TAKE ACTION ON MOVING ONE OF OUR REGULAR COMMISSIONERS COURT SESSIONS PER MONTH TO THE
EVENING. 
          COMMISSIONER HOLT. SO THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN BROUGHT UP TO ME MULTIPLE TIMES. 
          I FEEL LIKE IT'S IN THE BEST INTEREST OF OUR RESIDENTS TO DISCUSS THIS AS A COURT. 
          I UNDERSTAND THAT IT WOULD BE A BREAK FROM OUR NORMAL PATTERNS. 
          I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT THERE WOULD BE LOGISTICAL ITEMS TO WORK THROUGH,
SUCH AS GETTING STAFF UP HERE. 
          HOW DO WE HANDLE THE OVERTIME IF SOMEONE WORKS A COMMISSIONERS COURT NIGHT,
DO THEY HAVE THAT AFTERNOON OFF, YOU KNOW, COMP TIME? I UNDERSTAND THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS LIKE THAT,
BUT TO ME, THIS REALLY BOILS DOWN TO THE PRINCIPLE OF THE MATTER. 
          [00:55:03]
WE'VE HAD SO MANY RESIDENTS HAVE APPROACHED AT LEAST ME SAYING,
HEY, IT WOULD BE GREAT TO HAVE AT LEAST ONE COURT PER MONTH AT NIGHT SO THAT THE WORKING TAXPAYERS THAT WE WERE ELECTED BY THAT WE REPRESENT CAN HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY
TO ATTEND COURT AND SPEAK ON MATTERS THAT MIGHT BE PERTINENT TO THEM. WE'VE SEEN A HUGE OUTCRY ON,
FOR EXAMPLE, THE DATA CENTER DISCUSSION. 
          SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A MEETING NEXT WEDNESDAY NIGHT TO ACCOMMODATE THE FOLKS WHO
COULDN'T MAKE THE FIRST ONE BECAUSE THEY WERE AT WORK. 
          SO WHAT I AM PROPOSING TO THE COURT IS I'M PROPOSING THAT WE TRY THIS ON A TEMPORARY BASIS
THREE MONTHS, SIX MONTHS, SOMETHING LIKE THAT, WHERE WE HAVE ONE COURT PER MONTH THAT CAN BE EITHER THE
SECOND MONDAY OR THE FOURTH MONDAY, WHERE WE HAVE ONE COURT PER MONTH STARTING HERE IN THIS ROOM AT 6 P.M. 
          THAT WOULD ALLOW FOLKS TO GET HERE. WE COULD GET COURT DONE IN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF
TIME. 
          I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT WE STRIP OUT AS MUCH FROM THAT COURT AS WE CAN. 
          SO FOR EXAMPLE, PRESENTATIONS AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE. 
          IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT CAN BE EASILY ACCOMMODATED IN A MORNING SESSION,
WE DO THAT SO THAT WE CAN BE EXPEDITIOUS WITH OUR TIME AND AND EFFICIENTLY MOVE THROUGH THAT COURT SESSION. BUT I DO THINK THAT ON THE PRINCIPLE OF THE MATTER,
WE OUGHT TO GIVE THIS A SHOT ON A TEMPORARY BASIS THAT ONE COURT PER MONTH BE HELD AT 6 P.M. AT THIS LOCATION. I'M MY OPINION WE PAID A LOT OF MONEY TO GET THIS
STREAMLINED ON THE TV FOR PEOPLE TO LOOK, AND WE WE SHOULDN'T DO THE NIGHT COURT. 
          IT'S MY OPINION YOU GOT BECAUSE YOU GOT TAXPAYERS MONEY FOR THE OFFICERS THAT ARE GOING TO
HAVE TO BE UP HERE AND, AND THE EMPLOYEES THAT ARE GOING TO HAVE TO BE UP HERE. 
          THAT'S JUST MY OPINION. SO SPEND ALL THE MONEY FOR STREAMLINING IT. 
          IT MIGHT BE DIFFERENT. I THINK COMMISSIONER,
I THINK IT WAS BEFORE YOU WERE ON COURT. 
          WASN'T THIS ATTEMPTED OR WAS THIS NOT DONE PREVIOUSLY. 
          NO, I MEAN IT, IT WAS ACTUALLY DONE YEARS AGO. 
          IT WASN'T, IT HADN'T BEEN DONE SINCE I'VE BEEN ON. 
          WELL, BUT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN BEFORE. IT HAS BEEN THE SAME. 
          SAME THING CAME UP, AND I THINK THERE WAS PROBABLY AN ISSUE THAT PEOPLE WANTED,
ONE ISSUE THAT PEOPLE WERE CONCERNED ABOUT. 
          AND SO THEY THEY TRIED IT FOR A WHILE, AND THE REASONS THEY QUIT WERE,
TO MY UNDERSTANDING WAS THAT 2 OR 3 THINGS. ONE WAS THE COST OF THE, OF HAVING EVERYBODY HERE AND THE LACK OF ABILITY
TO CALL SOMEBODY AND ASK QUESTIONS LIKE WE DO FREQUENTLY ON SOME OTHER THINGS. 
          AND THE THE, THE REAL REASON I QUIT WAS BECAUSE AFTER THAT ISSUE DIED DOWN,
NOBODY CAME. 
          AND SO I I JUST ASK IF THERE ANYBODY KNOWS OF ANY OTHER COMMISSIONER COURTS IN TEXAS THAT MADE IT NOT BECAUSE I, I'VE, I'VE ASKED AND I CAN'T FIND ANY. 
          I'VE ASKED ALSO CAN'T FIND ANYBODY TO DO THAT. 
          SO ALTHOUGH THE THE IDEA IS GOOD IF, IF, YOU KNOW,
IF, IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE WANTED TO, TO TRY. I'M JUST SAYING THAT HISTORY TELLS US THAT,
THAT PROBABLY IT'S NOT GOING TO BE SOMETHING THAT WOULD CONTINUE ON LONG TERM. 
          AND, AND THE, THE SOLUTION WAS TO STREAM THE STREAM IT WHICH BY THE WAY,
IS THE LAW. 
          WE HAD TO DO THAT. THAT WAS NOT SOMETHING THAT WE DID OUT OF THE GOODNESS OF OUR HEARTS. 
          I DON'T THINK IT WAS JUST THAT SAYS IT HAS TO BE THAT WAY. 
          BUT I DON'T KNOW, YOU KNOW, THE I JUST SAY THAT I,
I DON'T KNOW THAT ANY OTHER ANYBODY ELSE DOES THIS. 
          THE NEXT THING IS IT'S MY RECOLLECTION THAT WE SET UP THE TIMES AND THE DATES AND LOCATION
OF COMMISSIONERS COURT, LIKE A YEAR IN ADVANCE. DOES ANYBODY. JOHN, IS THAT A STATUTORY DEAL WHERE WE TELL WHEN
WE'RE GOING TO MEET AND WHAT TIME FOR THE YEAR SO THAT THE CALENDAR IS SET A YEAR AHEAD. SO THAT MIGHT POSSIBLY BE SOMETHING THAT AND I'M NOT,
I'M NOT SURE, BUT IT MIGHT BE SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE BEGINNING OF THE NEXT YEAR TO DO. I'M NOT SURE. WE COULD HAVE SPECIAL MEETINGS AT NIGHT,
WHICH WE'RE HAVING HERE, BUT BUT THE REGULAR COMMISSIONERS COURT MEETINGS,
I BELIEVE, ARE SET A YEAR AHEAD OF TIME FOR THE SECOND AND FOURTH MONDAYS AT 9 A.M. 
          AT THIS LOCATION. AND THE REASON FOR THAT IS SO THAT SOMEBODY THAT'S NOT REGULARLY
FOLLOWING WHAT GOES ON KNOWS THAT A YEAR AHEAD OF TIME, THAT COURT IS GOING TO BE HELD AT THAT TIME,
AT THAT LOCATION. 
          [01:00:05]
SO THAT'S JUST MY $0.02 ON THE MATTER. I THINK SOMEBODY ELSE MIGHT BE ABLE TO LOOK AT IT
AND SAY, GOSH THERE'S ANOTHER COUNTY THAT DOES THAT, BUT I WAS NOT ABLE TO LOCATE ONE THAT DID. 
          SO I'M NOT TO YOUR POINT, COMMISSIONER WALTON,
I'M NOT AWARE OF ANY COMMISSIONER SKORTS THAT DO OPERATE AT NIGHT. 
          I KNOW THAT QUITE A FEW CITY COUNCILS DO. THERE'S OBVIOUSLY A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CITY AND
COUNTY. 
          AT THE SAME TIME, THEY'RE BOTH LOCAL REPRESENTATION. 
          I BELIEVE SCHOOL BOARD MEETINGS ARE TYPICALLY HELD AT NIGHT AS WELL. 
          ESD MEETINGS ARE HELD AT NIGHT. SO I THINK THERE'S KIND OF BOTH SIDES TO THAT. 
          AS FAR AS THE ISSUE WITH IT BEING OUT IN ADVANCE. 
          I'M NOT A ATTORNEY WHO SPECIALIZES IN TEXAS CONSTITUTIONAL LAW,
SO I CAN'T SAY FOR SURE ON THAT. 
          I DO KNOW THAT BEFORE WE HAVE ANNOUNCED THAT WE WOULD POSTPONE A MEETING UNTIL LATER IN
THE AFTERNOON, WE'VE DONE THAT ON A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS. SO I'M WONDERING IF WE COULD LOOK INTO WHETHER
OR NOT WE CAN KEEP THOSE SAME DATES SO THAT WE'RE NOT ADJUSTING THE DATE AND JUST ON A COUPLE OF THEM ON A TEMPORARY BASIS, TRY IT AT 6:00. 
          I THINK THAT WHAT THIS COMES DOWN TO IS WE'VE HAD A NUMBER OF RESIDENTS,
I'VE HAD IN EXCESS OF 15 RESIDENTS. 
          AND THIS IS THIS HAS BEEN FOR YEARS. THIS IS FROM WHEN I FIRST STARTED CAMPAIGNING. 
          SO THIS IS CERTAINLY THE DATA CENTER DISCUSSIONS DRIVING A LOT OF THIS. 
          BUT AT THE SAME TIME, IT'S BEEN AN ISSUE THAT'S BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION FOR QUITE A
WHILE. 
          AND I THINK THIS IS A GOOD TIME TO DISCUSS IT,
TO TRY THIS ON A TEMPORARY BASIS. 
          YOU'RE CORRECT, COMMISSIONER HOLT. THE DATA CENTER DISCUSSION IS DEFINITELY PULLED OUT. 
          A LOT OF WHERE PEOPLE WANT TO GO, EVEN THOUGH WE STREAM IT,
AS COMMISSIONER CONLEY MENTIONED. 
          I THINK PEOPLE WANT TO BE ABLE TO COME. AND THAT'S WHAT LED TO THE MEETING THAT WE HAVE
UPCOMING. 
          ON THE EVENING EVENT AT THE NINTH GRADE CENTER IN WISD. 
          I'VE BEEN HERE EIGHT YEARS. IT'S NOT BEEN AN ISSUE. 
          NOBODY HAS APPROACHED ME WITH THIS AT ALL. BUT AGAIN,
IT'S THE COMMISSIONERS COURT DECISION ON THAT, WHETHER WE WANT TO DO THAT OR NOT. BUT I HAVE NOT BEEN APPROACHED WITH ANY KIND OF INPUT
ON REQUESTING THAT. 
          THE FACT IS, AND I COME FROM A, A CITY FOR 20 YEARS,
AND OBVIOUSLY THOSE ARE PEOPLE THAT WORK FOR A LIVING. 
          THEY, THIS IS OUR JOB. THIS IS WHAT WE DO. AND THE CITIES ARE MORE VOLUNTEER DRIVEN WHERE
IT'S MORE THEY'RE, THEY CAN'T COME DURING THE DAY. THEY HAVE TO DO IT AT NIGHT. SAME WITH SCHOOL BOARDS,
BUT IT IS A DIFFERENCE HERE. 
          BUT WE GO TO GREAT LENGTHS TO, TO IN JAMES, OBVIOUSLY WITH A GREAT DEAL AMOUNT OF MONEY
THAT'S BEEN SPENT TO TRY TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE STREAMED BETTER THAN THEY'VE EVER BEEN BEFORE WITH BETTER SOPHISTICATION, BETTER CAMERA SYSTEMS. AND THE DOWNSIDE OF THAT IS THAT THE YOU CAN'T,
YOU DON'T HAVE ANY INPUT, BUT YOU CAN WATCH THE MEETING AND THEN CONTACT YOUR RESPECTIVE COMMISSIONER THROUGH ANYTHING THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO ADD TO THE AGENDA OR BE CONCERNED
ABOUT, BUT I, I THINK BEING TRANSPARENT AND TRYING TO BE APPEALING TO YOUR YOUR CONSTITUENT THAT HAS PUT
US IN OFFICE. 
          WE'VE DONE EVERYTHING WE CAN. I JUST I WOULD BE OPEN TO THE COURT OF HOW AND WHY OTHER
COUNTIES DON'T DO THIS. 
          IT WOULD BE I THINK I'VE STRAINED JAMES ENOUGH ALREADY,
MOVING THESE MEETINGS AROUND UPSTAIRS AND DOWN TO THE NINTH GRADE CENTER, AND THAT'S PROBABLY KILLING HIM. BUT YOU KNOW,
THAT WILL BE AN ADJUSTMENT FOR US. 
          AND, AND IT'S A COURT DECISION ON WHICH I WANT TO DO. 
          I HAVE NOT HAD ANY INPUT ON ANYBODY ASKING FOR THAT,
THOUGH, UNTIL THE DATA IS IN A SITUATION COME UP. 
          JUDGE, I'D LIKE TO SINCE YOU BROUGHT UP THIS MEETING AND COMMISSIONER HOLT ALSO MENTIONED
IT, I READ ABOUT A MEETING BEING CALLED ON THE 30TH. 
          I READ ABOUT IT ONLINE. I WASN'T ASKED ABOUT WHAT THIS DATE. 
          IF WE'RE AVAILABLE LIKE NORMAL AND I WANT TO KNOW,
IS IT A IT'S NOT A SPECIAL CALLED SESSION BECAUSE I HAVE A FEELING THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A QUORUM THERE. SO WE NEED TO GET THAT ADDRESSED. WELL,
IN MY OPINION. 
          OKAY. WHEN WE DID THIS, IT WAS TO BE Y'ALL WERE TO BE CONTACTED,
NOT JUST TO SET THE MEETING. 
          AND THAT'S A DISCONNECT HERE. AND RICH, I'M NOT CHUCKING YOU UNDER THE BUS AT ALL,
BUT THE INTENT OF THAT WAS TO FIND OUT YOUR AVAILABILITY TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN DO THIS. AND SO IF THAT SLIPPED THROUGH THE CRACKS,
THAT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN. 
          WELL, IT WASN'T DONE HOW WE NORMALLY DO IT. WELL,
WE'LL GET THAT FIXED GOING FORWARD. 
          OKAY. BUT WE STILL HAVE AN ISSUE IS IS THIS A SPECIAL SESSION THAT'S BEEN CALLED? IT IS IT NEEDS TO BE DUE TO QUORUM ISSUES. THE WAY I READ IT,
IT WASN'T. 
          [01:05:05]
AND I'M PRETTY SURE IF Y'ALL ARE GOING TO HOLD A MEETING,
I'M GOING TO SHOW UP TO DISCUSS IT BECAUSE IT'S A HOT TOPIC AND I'M PRETTY SURE YOU WOULD BE THERE. COMMISSIONER HOLT SHOULDN'T BE THERE. 
          CAN YOU COME UP? SO THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. 
          YEAH, I UNDERSTAND. AND SO IF I EXPECT, WHICH I DO EXPECT A QUORUM OF THE COURT TO BE
THERE, THEN LIKE ANY OTHER ONE WE'VE HAD WITH WATER MEETINGS OR ANYTHING,
I WILL PUT IT AS A SPECIAL SESSION AND POST IT TO THE PUBLIC LIKE LIKE EVERY OTHER ONE WE'VE DONE WITH WATER MEETINGS AND YEAH. SO YES. 
          THANK YOU. DO YOU KNOW IF THOSE REPRESENTATIVES ARE COMING YET? CAN I I'VE REACHED OUT TO ALL THREE AND I'VE HEARD FROM ZERO. 
          I'LL FOLLOW UP AGAIN TODAY FOR THE OTHER LOCAL. 
          I WANT TO I WANT TO ADDRESS THAT. AND WE HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE. 
          YOU'RE GOING TO KILL ME. I'M. WE'RE OFF TOPIC. WHAT? NO, IT DOES TIE INTO THE AGENDA BECAUSE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE THE PARTICIPANTS ASKING
WHO CAN COME OR NOT. 
          DOUG SHAW, I THINK IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO COME,
IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN. 
          I REACHED OUT TO HIM AS WELL AND HE DID SAY HE WOULD BE THERE. 
          MY POINT IS THIS, AND I AM ON POINT WITH THE AGENDA BECAUSE THIS DOES APPLY TO THAT. 
          WE HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE IN THE AUDIENCE FROM ONE OF OUR LEGISLATORS,
MICHAEL O'CONNOR. 
          AND I'M GOING TO BE VERY SPECIFIC WITH THIS,
AND I'M GOING TO BE VERY DIRECT DURING THAT MEETING THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE NEED HELP FROM THE STATE. AND THERE'S SO MUCH CONTROL THAT WE HAVE DON'T HAVE IN THE COUNTY. 
          AND I'M GOING TO BE VERY SPECIFIC WITH THESE LEGISLATORS,
EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM. 
          THEY HAVE BEEN INVITED VERBALLY. THEY'VE BEEN INVITED IN WRITING,
AND I'M GOING TO ANNOUNCE WHO'S AT THAT MEETING AND WHO DID NOT RESPOND. 
          AND I'M GOING TO BE VERY DIRECT WITH THAT. AND I COMMEND COMMISSIONER OLCOTT FOR REALLY
TAKING A GREAT INTEREST IN THIS AND REALLY TRYING TO HAVE SOME REPRESENTATION THERE. 
          IN FACT, WHEN HE WAS HAVING A MEDICAL PROCEDURE. SO EVEN IN SPITE OF THAT,
HE HAD SOMEBODY HERE AND I EXPECT THAT THAT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY WITH OUR LEGISLATORS. BUT I COULD HAVE THE GOVERNOR THERE. I WOULD,
BUT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE REPRESENTATION FROM OUR LEGISLATORS ON THIS SITUATION. 
          SO SORRY, BUT WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, THE ITEM THAT'S ON THE AGENDA RIGHT NOW THAT WE'RE
DISCUSSING IS WHETHER OR NOT TO HAVE ONE OF OUR TWO REGULAR COMMISSIONERS COURTS AT NIGHT. I'D LIKE TO PUT A BOW TIE ON THIS ONE,
IF YOU DON'T MIND. 
          I JUST KNOW I WANT TO ADDRESS THAT WITH THIS. 
          WHILE WE BROUGHT THIS UP AND HE MADE THE THE LINK ON THIS AS TO THE ATTENDEES. 
          AND SO THAT'S WHY I SAID WHAT I SAID. SO BECKY,
CAN I ASK YOU TO COME TO THE MIC, PLEASE? THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HAVING HAVING A COUPLE OF AGENDA OR HAVING ONE OF OUR MEETINGS PER
MONTH AT NIGHT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT I WANT TO RUSH INTO. 
          SO WHAT I WOULD PROPOSE TO THE COURT FOR TODAY IS THAT WE TAKE NO ACTION ON THIS AND THAT
BECKY, COME BACK TO US WITH WHAT THE ACTUAL COST WOULD BE FOR STAFFING. 
          OKAY. ONE MEETING A MONTH. SO ALL OF THE RELEVANT FOLKS,
COURTHOUSE, SECURITY, ETC. 
          WHAT WOULD THE ADDITIONAL COST BE? COULD YOU WORK UP SOME VERY ROUGH NUMBERS ON WHAT THAT
WOULD LOOK LIKE TO HAVE ONE MEETING PER MONTH AT. 
          CALL IT FOUR HOURS AND THE MEETING SHOULDN'T GO FOR FOUR HOURS. 
          BUT JUST TO BE CONSERVATIVE. WOULD YOU MIND WORKING THAT UP AND THEN,
RICH, WILL YOU PUT THIS ON? WILL YOU PUT THIS ON THE NEXT SCHEDULED AGENDA FOR US TO COME BACK TO SO THAT AND IS THERE
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS THAT THE COURT MIGHT HAVE ON THIS DATA THAT WE WOULD NEED BEFORE WE MAKE A DECISION? AND ONE OTHER SOLUTION. YOU CAN RECESS A MEETING. 
          SO IF YOU HAD YOUR REGULAR SCHEDULED MEETING,
IT COULD BE RECESSED. 
          THANK YOU. THAT'S WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR. WHERE YOU CAN WE CAN RECESS A 9 A.M. 
          TO 6 P.M. A COUPLE OF TIMES TO TRY IT OUT ON A TEMPORARY BASIS. 
          BUT AGAIN, WE DON'T HAVE TO MAKE A DECISION TODAY. I'D LIKE TO HAVE THOSE NUMBERS FROM
BECKY BEFORE WE DO MAKE A DECISION TO ADDRESS WHAT HE JUST SAID. 
          I THINK WHEN YOU WHEN YOU DELAY THAT AND SOMETIMES YOU CATCH THE PUBLIC OFF GUARD BECAUSE
THEY MAY NOT KNOW WE'RE MOVING THOSE MEETINGS IN ADVANCE, THAT IF THERE'S A SPECIFIC TOPIC THAT'S GOING TO BE OF INTEREST TO THE COMMUNITY,
THAT YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR REGULAR AGENDA IN THE RECESS TO THE EVENING. 
          IT'S JUST HOW DO WE BROADCAST THAT OUT AND LET THEM? FIND OUT, OKAY, WE'RE GOING TO TAKE NO ACTION ON THAT. 
          THAT'S ALL I HAVE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU BECKY. 
          [8.K. Discuss/Take action on forming a Ch 391 Subregional Planning Commission and take any other related action as needed. (Commissioner Holt)]
WE'RE GOING TO MOVE TO ITEM K AND DISCUSS TAKE ACTION ON FORMING A CHAPTER 391 SUBROGATION
PLANNING COMMISSION AND TAKE ANY ACTION RELATED RELATED ACTION AS NEEDED COMMISSIONER HOLTON. SO WE HAD A MEETING WITH REPRESENTATIVE ALCOTT AND HIS
STAFF WITH THE WITH THE AMERICAN STEWARDS OF 
          [01:10:01]
LIBERTY, I BELIEVE IS THE NAME OF THE GROUP THAT HAS BEEN ACTIVE IN FORMING CHAPTER 391
SUBREGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSIONS. 
          WHAT A 391 DOES, VERY SIMPLY, IS IT FORMS A LOCAL COALITION THAT THEN HAS THE AUTHORITY TO REQUIRE STATE AGENCIES TO COORDINATE WITH THAT COALITION ON WHATEVER MATTERS ARE OF
INTEREST. 
          AND SO IT DOES NOT DIRECTLY INCREASE. I WANT TO BE VERY CLEAR ON THIS. 
          IT DOES NOT DIRECTLY INCREASE THE COUNTY'S AUTHORITY. 
          THE COUNTY'S AUTHORITY IS VERY WELL ESTABLISHED UNDER STATE LAW,
SO IT DOES NOT GIVE THE COUNTY BROADER POWERS. 
          WHAT IT DOES DO IS, METAPHORICALLY SPEAKING,
IT CREATES A TABLE WITH CHAIRS AT IT THAT THE COUNTY TAKES A SEAT, THE CITY TAKES A SEAT. WHOEVER THE MEMBERS OF THE 391 ARE. 
          AND THEN THE LAW SAYS THAT THOSE STATE AGENCIES HAVE TO COME TO THAT TABLE. 
          THEY HAVE TO SIT DOWN IN THOSE CHAIRS AND THEY HAVE TO DIALOG TO. 
          AND I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT THE EXACT LEGAL STANDARD IS,
BUT I THINK IT'S TO THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE CARE OR SOMETHING OF THAT NATURE THAT AGENCIES SUCH AS T-C-E-Q WHATEVER THE PUBLIC UTILITY COMMISSION,
WHATEVER IT MAY BE, HAVE TO COORDINATE WITH US ON WHATEVER ITEM WE'RE CONCERNED ON. 
          THE WAY THAT A 391 CAN BE FORMED. AND I BELIEVE THE AMERICAN STEWARDS OF LIBERTY
INFORMATION WAS SENT TO Y'ALL. 
          THE WAY THAT A 391 CAN BE FORMED IS IT CAN BE FORMED BETWEEN TWO DIFFERENT COUNTIES THAT
ARE ADJACENT. 
          IT CAN BE FORMED BETWEEN A COUNTY AND A CITY,
ETC.. 
          MY RECOMMENDATION IN THE, THE MOTION THAT I'M GOING TO MAKE TODAY IS THAT WE FORM A 391 OR
WE MOVE FORWARD WITH FORMING A 391 WITH THE CITY OF WEATHERFORD. 
          THE CITY OF WEATHERFORD IS INTERESTED IN FORMING A 391 WITH US. 
          I'VE RECEIVED POSITIVE FEEDBACK FROM THEM, AND IT WOULD BE JUST BETWEEN THE CITY OF
WEATHERFORD AND PARKER COUNTY AND THE FOCUS WOULD BE LIMITED TO DATA CENTERS. I DON'T THINK THAT THIS NEEDS TO GET ANY BROADER THAN DATA CENTERS RIGHT
NOW, BUT WE WOULD FORM A CHAPTER 391 SUB REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION WITH THE CITY OF
WEATHERFORD TO FOCUS ON USING EVERY SINGLE TOOL AT OUR DISPOSAL TO REPRESENT THE WISHES OF OUR RESIDENTS. WITH REGARDS TO DATA CENTERS,
THE WAY THAT THAT BOARD WOULD BE FORMED IS IT HAS TO BE FORMED WITH FIVE VOTING MEMBERS. 
          IT WOULD NEED TO BE TWO CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS FROM WEATHERFORD IF WE FORM IT WITH
WEATHERFORD, TWO FROM THE COMMISSIONERS COURT AND THEN ONE CITIZEN AT LARGE AFTER THE 391 IS FORMED,
WE CAN THEN BRING ON OTHER ENTITIES IN A NON-VOTING MEMBER CAPACITY, SUCH AS A SCHOOL DISTRICT SUCH AS THE UPPER TRINITY
GROUNDWATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT, ETC., SO THAT THE RELEVANT STAKEHOLDERS ARE AT THAT TABLE THAT WE CAN THEN CALL ON T,
C, E, Q TO GET HERE AND TO COORDINATE WITH US. COMMISSIONER HALE,
I BELIEVE YOU'VE BROUGHT UP SOME CONCERNS THAT YOU'VE HAD WITH TC IN THE PAST AND THE TIMELINESS OR LACK THEREOF, OF THEIR RESPONSES TO SOME OF OUR CONCERNS. 
          THIS LAW REQUIRES TC TO OPERATE AT A HIGHER STANDARD IN TERMS OF THE 391 THAN THEIR
REGULAR STANDARD. 
          THEY'RE ALLOWED TO OPERATE WITH US IN JUST THE COUNTY LEVEL. 
          SO WITH THAT BEING SAID, I'LL GO AHEAD AND MAKE A MOTION THAT WE MOVE FORWARD,
SUBJECT TO JOHN JOHN'S GUIDANCE OF TRYING TO FORM A 391 WITH THE CITY OF WEATHERFORD. 
          THAT IS MY MOTION. WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER HOLT,
SECOND BY COMMISSIONER CONNELLY. 
          WE'RE IN THE DISCUSSION PHASE. JACOB, DID WE IS THERE. 
          I'M ASSUMING THERE'S NO ONE HERE FROM WEATHERFORD TO ADDRESS THIS ON THEIR PART? THAT'S CORRECT. BUT THEY ARE VERY INTERESTED IN THIS AND I APOLOGIZE. 
          I DID FORGET ONE IMPORTANT THING. THIS ENTITY WOULD HAVE ZERO TAXING AUTHORITY. 
          THERE'S NO MONEY WHATSOEVER INVOLVED IN THIS ENTITY. 
          YOU CAN FORM A 391 WITH PUBLIC FUNDING OR WITHOUT. 
          IF YOU FORM IT WITH PUBLIC FUNDING, IT IS SUBJECT TO THE GOVERNOR'S OVERSIGHT AND
APPROVAL. 
          THAT IS NOT ON THIS ISSUE, AN AVENUE THAT I THINK WE WANT TO GO DOWN. 
          SO I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT WE FORM THIS, AND I'LL MAKE IT AS PART OF MY MOTION,
THAT THERE IS NO FUNDING INVOLVED FROM ANY SOURCE WHATSOEVER. 
          AND SO WHATEVER SECRETARIAL WORK OR PARTICIPATION THAT WOULD BE INVOLVED FROM THE COUNTY
AND THE CITY WOULD BE BORNE BY THAT RESPECTIVE ENTITY AS PART OF THEIR NORMAL OPERATIONS. OKAY. WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND WE'RE IN THE DISCUSSION
PHASE. 
          IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM BEFORE WE VOTE? I HAVE SOME A COUPLE QUESTIONS
YOU MAY HAVE JUST ADDRESSED. 
          ONE, BECAUSE THE WAY THE WAY THAT IT WAS EXPLAINED TO ME LAST WEEK FROM ATTORNEY WITH ERIC
WAS THAT HE WAS 
          [01:15:09]
UNDER THE IMPRESSION IT HAD TO BE FORMED FROM THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE. 
          AND THAT'S WHY I WASN'T SURE. IF THERE'S A NUANCE THERE AS FAR AS THIS FUNDING,
OR ARE WE POTENTIALLY A CART BEFORE THE HORSE HERE? AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I DID NOT KNOW. 
          BUT HE HAD MENTIONED THAT LAST WEEK. TO ME, HE'S HE'S COMPLETELY CORRECT. 
          IF THERE'S FUNDING INVOLVED, IF THERE'S NO FUNDING INVOLVED,
THEN WE DO NOT NEED APPROVAL FROM THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE. 
          THE SECOND ONE, IS THERE A POTENTIAL CONFLICT SINCE WE'RE PART OF NORTH CENTRAL TEXAS
COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS ALREADY, AND THERE BEING SOME OVERLAP, IF THERE IS A NEW 391 CREATED. 
          NO, THIS IS A SUBREGIONAL, NOT A REGIONAL. THIS IS SOMETHING FOR JOHN THAT I WANT TO MAKE. 
          I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE DON'T DO ANYTHING THAT POTENTIALLY WOULD MUDDY THE WATERS WITH COG
THAT WE ARE A MEMBER OF ALREADY, BECAUSE OF THE SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF MONEY WE HAVE DEDICATED TO PARKER COUNTY FROM THEM
RIGHT NOW. 
          CAN YOU ANSWER THAT QUESTION? WELL, JUST JUST HEARING THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME,
THE INITIAL THING THAT CAME TO MY MIND IS IF YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE DESIGNATED PEOPLE,
COUNTY EMPLOYEES, DO THE WORK ON COUNTY TIME, ISN'T THAT BEING FUNDED BY TAXPAYERS WITH THEIR SALARIES? SO THE FUNDED ASPECT IS IF WE WERE TO GO OUT AND RECEIVE FUNDS FROM A PAC,
IF WE WERE TO RECEIVE EXTERNAL FUNDS, THAT'S WHAT THEY MEAN WHEN THEY SAY FUNDED IN TERMS OF BEING REQUIRED TO BE APPROVED BY
THE GOVERNOR. 
          THIS ENTITY WILL NOT OPERATE. SO THAT WOULD MEAN LIKE THE ENTITY THAT WE CREATE RECEIVES
FUNDS. 
          IF THE ENTITY WE CREATE HAS ZERO FUNDS WHATSOEVER,
THEN THERE'S NO APPROVAL NECESSARY FROM THE GOVERNOR, PER THE BY FIELDS, WHO ARE THE TWO FOLKS WHO RUN AMERICAN STEWARDS OF LIBERTY? THEY'VE DONE 390 ONES, SEVERAL OF THEM IN TEXAS SPECIFICALLY FOCUSED ON THE TRANS-TEXAS
CORRIDOR AND THE 765 LINES. 
          SO THIS IS SOMETHING THEY'RE THEY'RE CONSIDERED THE LEADING EXPERTS ON. 
          AND THIS IS AN ITEM THAT WE WENT IN DEPTH IN OUR CALL WITH THEM ON THAT AT THE ENTITY
ITSELF DOES NOT RECEIVE FUNDS. 
          IT STILL HAS TO TURN IN A REPORT AT THE END OF THE YEAR,
BUT THAT REPORT JUST WOULD BE A COPY OF THE MINUTES FROM EACH MEETING AND THEN WOULD SAY NO FUNDS HAVE BEEN RECEIVED OR DISTRIBUTED. AND THAT IS THE MECHANISM THAT ALLOWS US TO
NOT HAVE TO HAVE THE GOVERNOR APPROVE IT. 
          DO WE NEED TO FIND OUT MORE INFORMATION BEFORE WE ACTUALLY VOTE OR NOT? I AGREE COMMISSIONER I. I'M NOT OPPOSED TO THE IDEA OF THE CONCEPT. 
          I NEED MORE INFORMATION. AND YOU KNOW, FOR THE RECORD,
I BELIEVE IN LESS GOVERNMENT, NOT MORE. 
          AND IF ANYBODY QUESTIONS WHETHER OR NOT I'M IN FAVOR OF HAVING A DATA CENTER HERE,
I AM NOT. 
          THAT'S NOT IT. HOWEVER BEFORE WE ESTABLISH SOMETHING AND SAY,
OKAY, WELL, THIS IS ONLY LIMITED TO DATA CENTERS AND WILL NEVER BE ANYTHING BUT DATA CENTERS THAT WOULD NEED TO BE IN WRITING SO THAT IT COULD BE SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD ALL
SEE AND APPROVE. 
          BUT I'M, I'M NOT OPPOSED TO THE CONCEPT. I NEED MORE INFORMATION. 
          WHICH IS OUT THERE AND I THINK I'D LIKE TO HEAR FROM THE CITY OF WEATHERFORD AS WELL. 
          I APPRECIATE THE WORK AND BRINGING THIS FORWARD TODAY,
BUT I'M NOT, I'M NOT PREPARED TO VOTE IN THE AFFIRMATIVE FOR THE REASONS THAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. OKAY. DO YOU AGREE WITH THAT, BECKY, THAT WE NEED MORE INFORMATION OR THAT YOU CAN
SUPPLY US WITH MORE INFORMATION. 
          YEAH. PERSONALLY, I'M SORRY. THERE'LL BE BYLAWS THAT COULD BE WRITTEN IN. 
          WE JUST, LIKE YOU SAID, MAYBE WE CAN GET AMERICAN LIBERTIES UP HERE. 
          GET THE CITY OF WEATHERFORD UP HERE. BUT THE BYLAWS CAN SPECIFICALLY STATE THE SOLE
PURPOSE. 
          CORRECT. YEAH. THAT JUST LIKE. I MEAN, EXCUSE ME FOR BEING A CONSPIRACY THEORIST,
BUT WE SAY THIS NOW. 
          AND WHAT DO YOU DO TO AMEND THE BYLAWS? WELL,
WE HAVE A MEETING, SO I WANT TO BE VERY CLEAR THAT I'M IN FAVOR OF WHATEVER WE NEED TO DO TO FORCE THESE STATE AGENCIES TO COME FORWARD. 
          YES. AND SO THAT EVERYBODY'S NOT HERE, SITTING HERE LOOKING AT US SAYING,
WHAT ARE YOU DOING WHEN WE DON'T HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL POWERS? WE NEED THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE THOSE POWERS TO BE HERE AND ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. 
          I FEEL VERY STRONGLY ABOUT THAT. OH, I DO TOO. 
          IF THEY DON'T SHOW UP, WE SHOULDN'T EVEN HAVE THE MEETING. 
          AND I'M IN FAVOR OF USING WHATEVER TOOLS WE CAN COME UP WITH TO,
TO, TO REACH OUR DESIRED OUTCOME IN THIS SITUATION. 
          [01:20:07]
HOWEVER YOU START TALKING ABOUT THINGS WHERE WE'RE CREATING ANOTHER,
ANOTHER LEVEL OF GOVERNMENT, ALTHOUGH A SUBCOMMITTEE THAT'S ALREADY A SUBCOMMITTEE,
I WANT ASSURANCE FROM COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS THAT THAT THIS IS OKAY WITH THEM. 
          IT'S NOT GOING TO CAUSE PROBLEMS THERE BECAUSE WE HAVE SIGNIFICANT FUNDING COMING FROM
COG. 
          I WANT TO BE SURE THAT THAT IT WOULD BE PERMANENTLY A SINGLE ISSUE AGENDA PERMANENTLY,
NOT SOMETHING THAT'S IN THE BYLAWS THAT COULD BE AMENDED LATER. 
          AND, AND THIRDLY I WANT TO BE SURE THAT WE'RE NOT TROMPING ON SOMEBODY'S PRIVATE PROPERTY
RIGHTS BECAUSE THE TWO THINGS I BELIEVE IN OR LESS GOVERNMENT AND PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS. 
          SO THAT'S MY STANCE ON IT AND I COMMEND YOU FOR BRINGING IT FORWARD. 
          HOWEVER, I'M NOT PREPARED TO VOTE IN FAVOR OF THAT TODAY. 
          I MAY VERY WELL BE COMING FORWARD, THOUGH, WITH MORE INFORMATION. 
          SO ONE OF THE ISSUES THAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW IS I THINK IT'S CLEAR THAT THE TEXAS
LEGISLATURE WILL BE ADDRESSING DATA CENTERS PRETTY HEAVILY IN THE NEXT SESSION. WHAT THAT MEANS IS THERE'S A CLOCK. 
          THERE'S A SHOT CLOCK RUNNING RIGHT NOW. AND I,
I CAN ASSURE I, I THINK IT WOULD BE FOOLISH TO OVERLOOK THE IMPORTANCE OF THAT SHOT CLOCK. WHAT THAT MEANS IS THE FOLKS WHO ARE TRYING TO
DEVELOP THESE DATA CENTERS AND PUT THEM IN AND MAKE A WHOLE BUNCH OF MONEY OFF OF LOCAL LAND WHEN THEY LIVE ELSEWHERE. 
          THOSE FOLKS ARE INCENTIVIZED HEAVILY RIGHT NOW TO GET THIS DONE AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. 
          I UNDERSTAND THAT WE WANT TO BE THOROUGH. I UNDERSTAND THAT WE WANT TO BE METICULOUS. 
          I UNDERSTAND THAT WE WANT TO BE CAREFUL AND COMMISSIONER WALDEN,
I COMPLETELY SUPPORT WRITING IT AS CLEARLY AS WE CAN THAT THIS IS DATA CENTER ONLY. 
          THIS IS NOT SUBDIVISIONS. THIS IS NOT ANYTHING OTHER THAN DATA CENTER. 
          THAT'S THE ONLY THING THIS 391 SHOULD BE ABOUT AT THE AT THE SAME TIME. 
          OUR NEXT SCHEDULED COURT. THIS IS A. THIS IS A MONTH WITH FIVE MONDAYS,
WHICH MEANS OUR NEXT SCHEDULED COURT ISN'T FOR THREE MORE WEEKS. 
          I'M NOT SURE THAT WE CAN AFFORD TO WAIT THREE MORE WEEKS TO GATHER MORE INFORMATION WHEN
THERE'S SUCH AN URGENCY HERE, BECAUSE ANY. IT'S NOT LIKE IF A DATA CENTER GOES IN AND THEN THE LEGISLATURE LEGISLATURE
PASSES A LAW, WE CAN GO BACK AND SAY, OKAY, NOW YOU HAVE TO TAKE THAT DATA CENTER DOWN AND REVERT THAT
TO RURAL FARMLAND. 
          THAT'S THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. ANYTHING THAT WE ALLOW TO GET THROUGH RIGHT NOW IS
GOING TO BE ON US PERMANENTLY. 
          SO I WOULD STRONGLY URGE THIS COURT THAT WE NEED TO MOVE FORWARD WITH HASTE ON THIS. 
          IF THIS IS SOMETHING WHERE WE SIMPLY DON'T HAVE ENOUGH INFORMATION TODAY,
I, I, I WOULD ASK THAT WE GATHER A VERY SPECIFIC LIST OF THE INFORMATION THAT WE DO HAVE TO HAVE. AND THEN I WOULD ASK THAT WE FORM A SPECIAL SESSION
AT THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE CONVENIENCE FOR EVERYONE HERE, BECAUSE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT WE CAN WAIT THREE MORE WEEKS ON TO
GET STARTED. 
          I THINK WE HAVE A SPECIAL SESSION SCHEDULED ACCORDING TO MY CALENDAR ON THE 30TH. 
          THAT'S FINE. WE CAN DO A SPECIAL SESSION. WHAT INFORMATION? WE ALSO HAVE ONE ON THIS THURSDAY. I BELIEVE WE HAVE ENOUGH INFORMATION NOW. 
          JUDGE, WOULD IT BE APPROPRIATE? WE HAVE A COUPLE OF PEOPLE HERE IN THE AUDIENCE WHO ARE
HERE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM. JUDGE, WOULD IT BE OKAY IF THEY CAME UP TO THE PODIUM TO ADDRESS THE COURT? OKAY, Y'ALL COME UP IF YOU WANT TO COME UP ONE BY ONE. 
          YOU HAVE TWO MINUTES, PLEASE. STATE YOUR NAME. 
          AMANDA GARNER. I'M I'M HERE. I KNOW I WORK FOR REPRESENTATIVE OLCOTT,
BUT I'M HERE ON MY OWN BEHALF AS A PRECINCT CHAIR FOR PRECINCT 440. 
          I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY THAT I ATTENDED THE MEETING,
AND THE VAST MAJORITY OF PEOPLE WHO SPOKE WERE ASKING YOU GUYS TO DO SOMETHING. 
          AND WE FELT LIKE THE RESPONSE WAS, THERE'S VERY LITTLE WE CAN DO. 
          HERE IS SOMETHING WE ARE HANDING YOU THAT YOU CAN DO THAT DOES GIVE YOU MORE POWER. 
          BECAUSE THAT WAS THE RESPONSE IS WE DON'T HAVE THE POWER. 
          WE HAVE VERY LIMITED POWER. HERE IS SOMETHING THAT GIVES US A LITTLE BIT MORE POWER,
A LITTLE BIT MORE LEVERAGE, IF NOTHING ELSE, TO BUY TIME. I WILL SAY THAT I HAVE WORKED CLOSELY WITH AMERICAN STEWARDS
OF LIBERTY FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS. 
          I USED TO BE VERY INVOLVED IN THEIR ORGANIZATION. 
          MARGARET BYFIELD IS A VERY TRUSTWORTHY WOMAN,
EXTREMELY KNOWLEDGEABLE ON THE SUBJECT. 
          [01:25:05]
I DEFINITELY TRUST HER. SHE IS PASSIONATE ABOUT THIS TOPIC AND SHE BELIEVES IN PRIVATE
PROPERTY RIGHTS. 
          THAT'S ONE OF HER MAIN TALKING POINTS AND ONE OF THE MAIN THINGS THAT SHE FIGHTS FOR. 
          SO I'M GOING TO REITERATE HERE IS A CHANCE FOR YOU GUYS TO HAVE SOME MORE POWER THAT YOU
SAID THAT YOU DIDN'T HAVE, OR MORE CONTROL OR WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT. 
          AND I ASK THAT YOU VOTE YES ON THIS. THANK YOU. 
          SO I'M HEARING, I'M HEARING CONFLICTING INFORMATION. 
          MORE POWER OR THE SAME POWER. SO MAYBE YOU CAN. 
          WELL, WE'RE NOT TURNING IT DOWN. WE JUST WANT WEATHERFORD TO SAY THAT THEY WANT TO BE A
PART OF THIS AND WE NEED SOME OTHER INFORMATION, AND I HAVE. WE CAN HAVE A SPECIAL SESSION,
AND I HAVE VERY CLEAR COMMUNICATION FROM THE CITY MANAGER OF WEATHERFORD THAT THEY'RE STRONGLY IN FAVOR OF FORMING A 391 WITH US. ALL RIGHT. 
          WELL, THAT'S GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME, BUT BUT WE HAD SOMEBODY ELSE WHO RAISED THEIR HAND THAT
WANTED TO SPEAK ON THIS. 
          MATTHEW, PERSONALLY, I'M NOT OPPOSED TO THIS AT ALL. 
          I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU WHAT YOU SAID. 
          I SPOKE TO A COUNTY JUDGE CONFERENCE LAST WEEK WHO WORKED WITH THE BY FIELDS ON ON THESE
OVERHEAD POWER LINES, THESE TRANSMISSION LINES GOING ACROSS THEIR PROPERTY SAID THAT THEY DID HAVE SOME SUCCESS
WITH THAT, BUT THERE WAS SOME THAT THEY DID HAVE TO TAKE SOME SPECIFIC STEPS AND MANEUVERS EARLY ON
GETTING IT SET UP. 
          THAT'S WHERE I HAVE A LOT OF THE SAME CONCERNS. 
          COMMISSIONER WALDEN JUST BROUGHT UP, JUST IN LIGHT OF THE LAWSUIT AND AND THE FACT THAT
THEY DIDN'T DROP THE $100 MILLION LAWSUIT AGAINST HILL COUNTY. 
          AND THEY'RE MAKING A AN EXAMPLE OUT OF THEM. I THINK THEY'RE PROBABLY LOOKING TO DO THAT
WITH ANYBODY RIGHT NOW THAT HAPPENS TO MAKE A MISSTEP. 
          I WOULD LIKE, IF WE ALREADY HAVE A SPECIAL SESSION ON THE 30TH THAT WE COULD SET THIS UP
ON. 
          WE CAN HAVE SOME SPECIFICS ADDRESSING SOME OF THESE POTENTIAL CONCERNS. 
          I HAVEN'T HAD A CONVERSATION WITH WEATHERFORD DIRECTLY ABOUT IT,
BUT I WOULD ASK SOME CONCERNS ON HOW DO SOME OF OUR OTHER MEMBER CITIES IN THE IN IN PARKER COUNTY FEEL ABOUT ANOTHER CITY AND HOW THAT WOULD AFFECT THEIR VOTE ON THIS? 391 HOW DOES THAT POTENTIALLY AFFECT THE OTHER CITIES AND HOW WE ADDRESS THAT UP FRONT IN
THESE ISSUES, BECAUSE THERE'S A WHOLE LOT EASIER TO ADDRESS THEM UP FRONT NOW AND HAVE THIS SPECIFIC
LANGUAGE THOUGHT THROUGH AND SOME THOUGHT TO IT WITH HASTE, BECAUSE, I MEAN, MAKING SURE WE GET THIS DONE IMMEDIATELY OR AS SOON AS
POSSIBLE. 
          BUT YOU HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL RIGHT NOW. AND I KNOW THAT BY FIELDS COME WITH WITH A
GREAT AMOUNT OF RESPECT AND WITH HIGH REGARD. 
          SO, YOU KNOW, THAT'S ANOTHER REASON THAT I, I WOULD BE OPEN TO MOVING QUICKLY ON THIS,
BUT I'M, I HAVE SOME REAL CONCERNS AND QUESTION AND VOTING ON IT RIGHT THIS SPECIFIC. 
          SECOND, I JUST WANTED TO STATE THAT FOR MY, FOR ME AND I AND FOR THE RECORD,
ONE MORE TIME, I'M NOT IN SUPPORT OF DATA CENTERS HERE EITHER. 
          JUST DON'T WANT TO SQUASH THAT AS WELL. I THINK THERE ARE SOME OTHER COUNTIES THAT HAVE
ALREADY DONE THIS. 
          HAVE YOU ANYBODY HAVE ANY INFORMATION FROM ANOTHER COUNTY THAT MAY HAVE ADOPTED THIS? 391 THE THE BY FIELDS WHEN I WHEN I SENT THE INFORMATION TO RICH TO DISTRIBUTE TO THIS
COURT ON JUNE 5TH. 
          YEAH. WHICH IS MORE THAN TWO WEEKS AGO, SO THAT WE COULD BE PREPARED TO MAKE A DECISION
TODAY. 
          WE SENT OUT THE CONTACT INFORMATION. WE SENT OUT THE LINK TO THEIR WEBSITE,
ALL OF THAT ON JUNE 5TH. 
          THEY HAVE THE ANSWERS ON WHICH THREE, NINE THREE,
NINE, NINE ONES HAVE BEEN FORMED WITH WHICH COUNTIES. 
          AND I UNDERSTAND THAT WE NEED TO BE CAREFUL. I GET THAT,
BUT I BELIEVE THERE'S A SHOT CLOCK, AND I BELIEVE THAT EVERY SINGLE DAY THAT WE DELAY IS ONE MORE DAY THAT WE LEAVE OPEN FOR
THESE TO GO IN. 
          AND IN TERMS OF PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS, THE THING THAT I HEAR AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN
FROM MY RESIDENTS, THE THE THING THAT I HEAR CONTINUALLY IS THIS IS GOING TO DESTROY OUR WAY OF LIFE. 
          IT'S GOING TO TAKE AWAY THE WATER THAT WE NEED TO LIVE ON. 
          IT'S GOING TO CREATE NOISE POLLUTION, LIGHT POLLUTION,
ETC. 
          THEY'RE WORRIED ABOUT THEIR PROPERTY. THEY'RE WORRIED ABOUT THEIR LIVES. THEY'RE WORRIED
ABOUT THE THINGS THAT THEY'VE WORKED SO HARD TO ACHIEVE. 
          AND SO I WOULD JUST URGE THIS COURT THAT WE NEED TO ACT WITH EVERY BIT OF URGENCY WE
POSSIBLY CAN. 
          I UNDERSTAND THE NEED TO BE METHODICAL AND CAREFUL. 
          AGAIN, THIS NEEDS TO BE LIMITED TO DATA CENTERS ONLY. 
          AT THE SAME TIME, I DON'T I DON'T KNOW THAT THIS IS A SITUATION THAT WE CAN OPERATE WITH
OUR NORMAL, 
          [01:30:06]
VERY KIND OF SLOW PACING THAT IN MANY CASES IS A GREAT IDEA. 
          I THINK THIS IS SOMETHING WE NEED TO ACT ON. DO YOU HAVE A DRAFT SET OF BYLAWS? NO. WHAT I WANTED TO DO TODAY WAS APPROVE US FORMING A SET OF BYLAWS TO COME BACK AT THE
NEXT COURT TO APPROVE. 
          SO WHAT I WANT THE MOTION THAT'S ON THE TABLE IS TO AGREE TO FORM A 391 WITH THE CITY OF
WEATHERFORD. 
          THEY WOULD ALSO AGREE IN THEIR CITY COUNCIL. WE COULD THEN WORK TOGETHER ON DRAFTING A SET
OF BYLAWS THAT WOULD COME BEFORE THIS COURT TO RATIFY. 
          MY CONCERN ABOUT WAITING UNTIL NEXT TUESDAY,
ANOTHER EIGHT DAYS IS THAT THAT WILL PUSH THE START OF THAT PROCESS DOWN ANOTHER WEEK. NOW, IF WE CAN HAVE IT WHERE WE HAVE EVERYBODY'S QUESTIONS
ADDRESSED AND WE HAVE A SET OF BYLAWS THAT ARE READY TO APPROVE ON NEXT TUESDAY. 
          GREAT. LET'S GET IT DONE. BUT I JUST THINK WE NEED TO ACT WITH ALL HASTE AND URGENCY. 
          WELL, YOU GOTTA HAVE THE WEATHERFORD CITY COUNCIL MEETING BECAUSE THAT THE CITY MANAGER
WOULDN'T BE APPROVING THAT. 
          THAT WOULD BE A WEATHERFORD CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL. 
          I BELIEVE. WE STILL GOT TO HAVE THE BYLAWS. EVEN IF WE VOTED TODAY BEFORE IT WOULD BE
ENACTED. 
          RIGHT. TOTALLY AGREE. TODAY IS NOT TO RATIFY A SET OF BYLAWS. 
          TODAY IS TO AGREE TO MOVE FORWARD ON THIS BECAUSE THAT'S GOING TO BE THE FIRST STEP IN THE
PROCESS. 
          IN OTHER WORDS, IF WE DON'T DO THIS TODAY, THIS IS WHAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DO NEXT
TUESDAY WITH THE BYLAWS. 
          IF APPROVED, THE BYLAWS, IF WE CAN HAVE A SET OF BYLAWS DRAFTED BY NEXT TUESDAY,
AND WE ALSO HAVE THE INFORMATION NECESSARY FROM BECKY. 
          ET CETERA. JOHN, IS IT IS IT FEASIBLE TO HAVE BYLAWS BY TUESDAY? IT IS. I'M LOOKING UP THE NEXT. I THINK I JUST I HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS STILL. SO GO AHEAD. 
          NO GO AHEAD, GO AHEAD. THE THE 391. I UNDERSTAND THE WAY I UNDERSTAND IT. 
          IT ALLOWS, AS YOU AS YOU MENTIONED, IT ALLOWS US TO HAVE WOULD YOU CALL IT LIKE SUBPOENA
AUTHORITY OR WOULD TO SUBPOENA T CEQA ERCOT ENCORE? YES. I MEAN, FOR THEM TO HAVE TO COME TO THE TABLE WITH US. 
          IT IT SETS. IT SETS UP IN STATE LAW THE REQUIREMENT THAT THEY HAVE TO ANSWER US. 
          OKAY. SO THEY WOULD ANSWER, THEN HAVE TO ANSWER INSTEAD OF LAST WEEK WHEN WE HAD THE
SPECIAL AGENDA, COURT AND ENCORE RESPECTFULLY DECLINED, IT WOULD ENCORE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DO THAT IF
THIS 391 IF AND WHEN THIS GETS FORMED. 
          THAT IS MY UNDERSTANDING FROM OUR MEETING WITH THE BYFIELD'S. 
          AMANDA, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD? ADD TO THAT YOU WERE PRESENT AT THAT MEETING. 
          SO MY QUESTION, AMANDA, IS WHAT I UNDERSTAND FROM THIS 391. 
          THE THE MAIN THE MAIN BENEFIT OF THIS BEING FORMED IS ALMOST HAVING A QUASI SUBPOENA
AUTHORITY TO THE ENTITIES THAT OVERSEE DATA CENTER, ERCOT, TC, ENCORE. I JUST WANT TO UNDERSTAND THE BENEFIT OF THIS IS
THEM BEING FORCED TO COME AND ANSWER QUESTIONS. I GAVE THE EXAMPLE LAST WEEK. 
          WE SENT INVITES TO ALL THOSE ENTITIES, AND I USED ENCORE AS AN EXAMPLE BECAUSE I GOT AN
EMAIL FROM THEM THAT SAID, WE RESPECTFULLY DECLINE COMING TO SPEAK TO Y'ALL. 
          SO IF THIS 391 IS FORMED, IS THAT WHAT I'M HEARING IS THE BENEFIT OF IT? BECAUSE THE WAY I THE WAY I UNDERSTAND IT. AS LONG AS THEY STILL CHECK THE BOXES,
THEY CAN STILL DO A DATA CENTER IN A COUNTY, GET UP THERE BECAUSE THOSE STATUTES ARE NOT IN PLACE. 
          THAT'S WHY THIS RUSH IS TRYING TO GET THOSE IN PLACE BEFORE SESSION NEXT YEAR,
UNLESS A SPECIAL SESSION WAS CALLED. 
          SO I WANT TO UNDERSTAND EXACTLY. I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU SAID,
AND IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE SUBPOENA OR THEY HAVE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS WE HAVE, WHICH WE HAVE A BUNCH OF THEM FROM OUR WHO,
THE PEOPLE, OUR CITIZENS THAT WE REPRESENT. 
          AND THEY, THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO HAVE AN INPUT ON THIS. 
          THEY NEED TO BE HEARD BECAUSE THEY HAVE REAL CONCERNS. 
          I'M JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHERE THE TEETH ARE AND WHAT TEETH WE WOULD HAVE,
AND WHAT BENEFITS WE'D HAVE THAT ARE ACTUAL LEGITIMATE. 
          BECAUSE I DON'T IF I DON'T WANT A DATA CENTER GOING IN NEXT DOOR TO ME. 
          [01:35:05]
I JUMPED THROUGH ALL THESE HOOPS AND THEY STILL SAY,
YOU DON'T HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO STOP THIS. 
          IF I MAY, BRIAN, COULD YOU COME UP? WE DON'T JUST PAY YOU TO SIT THERE AND LOOK GOOD. 
          ONE THING WHILE HE'S COMING UP. YEAH. THE THE THE THE SITE THAT'S BEING IDENTIFIED AS
POTENTIAL DATA CENTER. 
          I THINK THAT I'M UNDERSTANDING THAT TRI COUNTY ELECTRIC MAY BE THE ELECTRIC PROVIDER FOR
THAT AREA. 
          DOES ANYBODY KNOW? THE TRI COUNTY ELECTRIC. OKAY. 
          SO THAT'S THAT'S AN INVITATION THAT PROBABLY NEEDS TO GO OUT FOR OUR NEXT MEETING. 
          SO JUST A COUPLE OF THINGS. ONE, I'VE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH MR. HOTOP. THEY ARE INTERESTED WITH THE CAVEAT THAT HE NEEDS TO EXPLAIN IT TO HIS COUNCIL AND
GET THEM TO UNDERSTAND IT. THAT WILL BE AT LEAST ONE MEETING. SO I DON'T KNOW IF YOUR TIME,
IF THE TIMING WILL WORK OUT. 
          THEY'LL PROBABLY NEED A MEETING TO GNAW ON IT. 
          I'M PRETTY SURE THEY'RE GOING TO. SO THEIR COUNCIL HAS NOT HEARD THIS YET,
SIR. 
          THEIR COUNCIL HAS NOT HEARD THIS YET. THEY HAVE NOT. 
          ACCORDING BY COMMUNICATIONS WITH MR. HOTOP. SECONDLY,
TO YOUR POINT, MIKE I JUST RESPECTFULLY DISAGREE. 
          I DON'T THINK YOU CAN REQUIRE A STATE AGENCY TO COME TO THE TABLE. 
          I KNOW THERE'S SOME EXAMPLES, BUT AS FAR AS AS FAR AS SUBPOENA POWER GOES JOHN,
THIS DOESN'T EXPAND THE FOUR CORNERS DOCTRINE, DOES IT? I MEAN, WE'RE NOT FROM WHAT I'M READING CURRENTLY,
IT DOESN'T SHOW THAT IT GIVES SUBPOENA POWER. 
          YEAH. I MEAN, IT'S, YOU KNOW, IT DOESN'T EXPAND YOUR AUTHORITY. 
          WHAT IT DOES IS IT GIVES YOU STRENGTH IN NUMBERS,
WHICH IS A WHICH IS A VERY, VERY POWERFUL THING. 
          BUT YOU, JOHN, CANNOT ISSUE A SUBPOENA TO A PRIVATE ENTITY SUCH AS TRI-COUNTY OR ENCORE TO
GET THEM TO COME TO THE TABLE. 
          I WOULD ARGUE THAT TRADITIONALLY, IF YOU'RE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH A STATE AGENCY,
TC-EC OR WHOMEVER WE HAVE SOME EXCELLENT REPRESENTATION IN AUSTIN. 
          THAT COULD REQUEST REQUIRE, HAVE MORE LEVERAGE THAN THIS BODY DOES TO GET THEM TO COME TO
THE TABLE. 
          THAT'S, THEY ARE OUR REPRESENTATIVES IN AUSTIN AND THAT'S MORE OR LESS WHAT THEIR FUNCTION
IS. 
          WELL, THE WAY I UNDERSTOOD IT A WHILE AGO IS THEY HAD TO COME. 
          NOW YOU'RE TELLING ME THEY DON'T HAVE TO COME? COMMISSIONER CONNALLY, I THINK IT'S THERE'S A THERE'S A STATUTE GOING FROM A 1940 CASE
CALLED COORDINATE. 
          IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ANY SORT OF GOVERNMENT ENTITY. 
          THE COURT RULED THAT OR JUST DEFINED COORDINATION AS TWO EQUAL PARTIES. 
          AND THAT'S THE WHOLE PREMISE OF 390. ONE ARGUMENT IS THAT THE PARKE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
COURT IS EQUAL TO THE TC, OR THEY ARE EQUAL TO ERCOT, OR THEY ARE EQUAL TO NAME YOUR STATE AGENCY. 
          BUT THAT'S NOT TRUE. BUT HISTORY HAS ALSO SHOWN THAT THAT'S NOT ACCURATE. 
          WE'RE NOT EQUAL TO TEX DOT. WE ARE NOT EQUAL TO TCDC. 
          IF WE WERE, WE'D HAVE A LOT EASIER TIME GOVERNING. 
          SO LET ME IF IT IF IT'S OKAY WITH THE COURT,
LET ME READ DIRECTLY FROM CHAPTER 391 IN THE TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE, SO THAT WE HAVE THE ACTUAL EXACT WORDS OF WHAT THIS DOES,
BECAUSE THIS IS THE CRUX OF THE MATTER. 
          COMMISSIONER HALE ON WHAT TEETH DOES IT GIVE? CHAPTER 391009 SUBPART C IN CARRYING OUT THEIR PLANNING AND PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT
RESPONSIBILITIES, STATE AGENCIES SHALL, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT FEASIBLE,
COORDINATE PLANNING WITH COMMISSIONS TO ENSURE EFFECTIVE AND ORDERLY IMPLEMENTATION OF STATE PROGRAMS AT THE REGIONAL LEVEL,
SO THAT STANDARD IS HIGHER THAN THE NORMAL STANDARD THAT TCDC HAS WITH US. IT. THE. 
          THE WORDS TO THE GREATEST EXTENT FEASIBLE PUTS A VERY HIGH BURDEN ON T C,
E, Q, PUC, WHATEVER IT MAY BE, TO COORDINATE WITH US. THAT IS THE COMING TO THE TABLE. 
          SO SUBPOENA POWERS ARE DIFFERENT, BUT THIS DOES REQUIRE THEM TO COME TO THE TABLE TO
COORDINATE WITH US TO THE GREATEST EXTENT FEASIBLE. AND THAT'S WHERE I THINK THE EFFECTIVENESS OR THE EFFICACY LIES ON THIS. 
          AND LET'S BE REAL HONEST, THIS ISN'T NECESSARILY ABOUT SAYING NO TO A DATA CENTER. 
          [01:40:02]
THIS IS ABOUT RUNNING OUT THE SHOT CLOCK. SO IF THE CITY COUNCIL VOTES NO,
THEN OUR OUR VOTE YES IS NULL AND VOID OR YES, SIR. 
          YOU HAVE TO HAVE A DANCING PARTNER. YEAH. YOU CAN FORM THIS WITH ANOTHER COUNTY. 
          YOU CAN FORM THIS. IT'S A COUNTY HAS TO BE INVOLVED. 
          IT CAN BE COUNTY WITH COUNTY. IT CAN BE COUNTY WITH CITY. 
          IT CAN BE COUNTY WITH MULTIPLE CITIES. SO TO ADDRESS THE POINT OF,
YOU KNOW, DOES DOES ALITO WANT TO PARTICIPATE OR WHATEVER, ALL OF THAT CAN BE HANDLED? I DO THINK THERE'S A SENSE OF URGENCY THAT HAS TO BE CAPTURED
HERE. 
          I THINK WE'VE SEEN WITH THE PUA THAT COMMISSIONER WALDEN'S LED,
THAT'S INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT WORK, AND THAT THE HYDROLOGY COMMITTEE HAS DONE A FANTASTIC JOB WITH THE PUA,
BUT I THINK ANYBODY WHO'S BEEN INVOLVED WITH THAT WOULD TELL YOU GETTING ALL THOSE CITIES TO COORDINATE IS, IS NOT A QUICK PROCESS. IT'S NOT QUICK. 
          YEAH. MR. GRIMES, WHEN IS WEATHERFORD'S NEXT CITY COUNCIL MEETING? TOMORROW NIGHT. IT'S NOT ON THE AGENDA FOR TOMORROW NIGHT. NOT ON THERE. AND THEN THEY
WON'T MEET AGAIN UNTIL RIGHT AFTER WE DO, ACTUALLY. SO AFTER THE 30TH. NO, NO. OUR NEXT REGULAR MEETING AFTER THE NEXT REGULAR. 
          I'M SORRY. THEY COULD CALL A SPECIAL SESSION,
THOUGH, COULD THEY NOT? OH, YEAH. OKAY. ONE WEEK NOTICE. 
          SO WHY DON'T WE DO THIS? IT SOUNDS LIKE THE MAJORITY OF THE COURT HAS SPOKEN UP AND
DOESN'T FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THIS RIGHT NOW. 
          WITH THAT BEING SAID, I WILL WITHDRAW MY MOTION SUBJECT TO WHAT I WOULD ASK OF THE COURT
IS PLEASE GET WITH BECKY, WITH BRIAN, WITH WHOEVER, AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE SO THAT WE CAN HAVE ALL THE RELEVANT
INFORMATION ADDRESSED BY NEXT TUESDAY NIGHT'S MEETING. 
          JOHN, I WOULD ASK THAT WE HAVE A SET OF BYLAWS DRAFTED IN ADVANCE OF THAT MEETING SO THAT
NEXT TUESDAY NIGHT, WE CAN VOTE ON THIS TO MOVE FORWARD. IS THERE CERTAIN PROVISIONS YOU WANT IN THE BYLAWS TO
ADDRESS? IT'S LIMITED TO DATA CENTERS ONLY. AND I WOULD SAY THAT WE SHOULD START WHERE WE LEAVE IT
OPEN FOR OTHER PARTIES TO JOIN. BUT IN THE INTEREST OF URGENCY,
WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THE CITY OF WEATHERFORD AND WITH PARKER COUNTY TO START WITH. 
          OKAY, BRIAN, I WOULD SUGGEST OFFLINE WORKING WITH COMMISSIONER HOLT AND JOHN ON THIS. 
          I'D BE HAPPY TO DO THAT. YOU'RE NOT GOING TO WE'RE NOT GOING TO GET THIS WRITTEN UP IN
THIS MEETING. SO WHEN WOULD YOU LIKE FOR THIS TO BE A DISCUSSION ITEM FOR THE JUNE 30TH MEETING? WHEN WE POST THE AGENDA LATER TODAY OR TOMORROW. 
          IT NEEDS TO BE AN ITEM WE CAN VOTE ON AT THE JUNE 30TH MEETING. 
          OKAY, THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING. I WANT US TO BE ABLE TO VOTE TO FORM ONE,
SUBJECT TO AGREEMENT FROM THE CITY OF WEATHERFORD ON JUNE 30TH, ON JUNE 30TH. I WOULD ALSO LIKE RICH, IF YOU CAN COORDINATE TO HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE FROM
THE CITY OF WEATHERFORD THERE THAT'S TASKED AND READY TO DISCUSS THIS. 
          I THINK WE NEED TO MOVE FORWARD WITH EVERY BIT OF HASTE AND URGENCY WE CAN. 
          OKAY. AND BY THAT TIME, THEY WOULD HAVE MET AS A COURT AND VOTED ON THIS. 
          THEY WON'T VOTE TILL RIGHT AFTER THAT BECAUSE IT'S NOT ON TOMORROW. 
          OH, I THOUGHT IT WAS. NO, NO. OH YOU'RE RIGHT. 
          YOU'RE YOU'RE CORRECT. OKAY. UNDERSTOOD. OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. I WILL TAKE NO ACTION THEN. I ASSUME THE SECOND IS REMOVED ALSO. 
          COMMISSIONER, YOU REMOVED YOUR SECOND? YES. OKAY. 
          ALL RIGHT. WE'LL TAKE NO ACTION ON THAT ITEM,
AND WE'LL MOVE TO ITEM L AND APPROVE AGREEMENT FOR ACCESS TO PRIVATE PROPERTY. 
          [8.L. Approve Agreement for access to private property with property owners located on Sandpiper Drive in Quail Springs Ranch. (Commissioner Holt)]
PROPERTY OWNER IS LOCATED ON SANDPIPER DRIVE IN COOL SPRINGS RANCH,
COMMISSIONER. 
          ALL. THIS IS NECESSARY TO IMPROVE EROSION AND DRAINAGE CONCERNS IN THAT AREA. 
          MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER HALL. SORRY, I JUMPED UP ON ME. COMMISSIONER WALTON MADE THE
