[I) CONSENT: (Member of court may ask for discussion on any item listed)] [00:00:11] >> FOR THE PARKER COUNTY COMMISSIONERS COURT BUDGET AGENDA. ON TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 22ND, 2026. 9:00 A.M. CONSIDER AND DISCUSS AND/OR ACT UPON THE FOLLOWING AGENDA ITEMS. ITEM ONE, CONSENT. AUDITOR, LINE ITEM BUDGET ADJUSTMENTS. >> LINE ITEM BUDGET ADJUSTMENTS AS PRESENTED. >> MOTION BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN SECOND BY COMMISSIONER HOLT ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR. [II) Public Hearing on Proposed Tax Rate for FY2026-2027.  (Judge Deen) PUBLIC HEARING] >> ON TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 22ND WE WILL MOVE TO ITEM TWO ON PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED TAX RATE FOR FY 2026-2027 AT 9:02. IS THERE ANYBODY HERE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM. THERE HAS TO BE SOMEBODY. BRIAN? NO, IT'S GOOD. AGAIN. THIS IS YOUR TIME. I APPRECIATE EVERYBODY COMING THAT IS HERE TODAY. THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT PROCESS THAT WE GO THROUGH FOR THE BUDGET WITH TAXPAYER MONEY. OBVIOUSLY IT IS IMPORTANT HOW THIS COURT SPEND YOUR MONEY. THIS IS YOUR TIME TO COME UP AND SPEAK IF YOU WOULD LIKE. I KNEW I COULD GET SOMEBODY APPEAR. GOOD MORNING STRAIGHTENING, PLEASE. >> MY NAME IS KIMBERLY BUTLER AND INCREASING TO -- PRECINCT NUMBER 2. I THINK WHAT WE WILL HERE TODAY IS THAT OUR PROPOSAL RATE DOES NOT EXCEED THE NOTION OF REVENUE. THAT IS A VERY TRUE STATEMENT. WHAT WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT IS THAT THE STATE LAW ALLOWS THE COURT TO GRANT AN ADDITIONAL EXEMPTION OF UP TO 20% IN VALUE OF EVERY HOMEOWNER IN THE COUNTY AND TO MY KNOWLEDGE WE HAVE NEVER DISCUSSED THAT AND WE'VE NEVER DISCUSSED THAT AT ANY BUDGET MEETING. HONESTLY I DO NOT RECOMMEND THAT WE DO THAT THIS YEAR. FIRST OF ALL BECAUSE THE JULY FIRST DEADLINE HAS ALREADY PASSED AND WE CANNOT AND SECOND OF ALL THE BUDGET IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO TAKE A HIT LIKE THAT. WHAT I WOULD LIKE US TO FOCUS ON IS NOT SO MUCH THE RATE. BECAUSE THAT IS THE NUMBER THAT IS MORE IMPORTANT. THERE ARE A FEW THINGS I WOULD LIKE TO ASK ABOUT AS FAR AS WHAT IS LISTED SO FAR THAT I HAVE SEEN IN THE BUDGET AND I HAVE NOT SEEN EVERY LINE ITEM IN THE BUDGET SO I CAN'T SPEAK TO THAT. BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I KNOW WAS MENTIONED WERE FLOCK CAMERAS. TYPICALLY THOSE ARE THE LEAST ARE NOT PURCHASED. WHATEVER GRANT PAYING FOR THIS WILL NOT PAY FOR IT IN YOUR NUMBER 2 UNLESS IT IS A MULTIYEAR GRANT I'M NOT SURE HOW THAT IS STRUCTURED. BUT WE HAVE STORAGE, MAINTENANCE, ANALYTICAL SUBSCRIPTION, STAFF TIME TO RESPOND TO ALERTS. A NUMBER OF THINGS HERE THAT ARE ON THE TABLE THAT WILL COST THE BUDGET IN THE FUTURE IF NOT I WAS CURIOUS WHERE THAT MONEY IS. IS THERE FUNDING SCHEDULED FOR THOSE. ALSO THERE IS THE OTHER ASPECT OF IT A LOT OF PEOPLE I TALKED DO THEY DO NOT WANT FLOCK CAMERAS. THEY DO NOT WANT TO BE FILMED EVERY TIME TO GO TO WALMART. THE SECOND THING I WOULD LIKE US TO DISCUSS OR PUT ON THE RECORD IS LONGEVITY PAY FOR ELECTED OFFICIALS. EVERY OFFICEHOLDER IN THIS COUNTY ALREADY GETS A LONGEVITY REWARD WHEN YOU ARE REELECTED. THE VOTE IS GRANTED OR WITHHOLD DID EVERY FOUR YEARS PAID FOR US ON TOP OF THAT IS PAID TWICE FOR THE SAME THING. AND REWARDING INCUMBENCY WELL THAT IS SOMETHING WE NEED TO LOOK AT. ANOTHER THING AT THE AGREEMENTS I UNDERSTAND THAT THEY ARE THE PROGRAMS THAT ALLOW US TO PARTNER WITH AGENCIES. FUNDING EQUIPMENT INFRAS INFRASTRUCTURE. WHAT I WOULD ASK US TO QUESTIONS. THE ITEMS THAT WE ARE GETTING THROUGH THIS HAVE WE EVER ASKED [00:05:01] FOR BEFORE WITHOUT THIS GRANT OR WITHOUT THOSE PERMIT? THE OTHER THING IS WHEN WE ITEMIZE IT ALL OUT, HOW MUCH ARE WE SPENDING IN SALARY FREE INSURANCE WE HAVE NOT SPENT AN EXPOSURE WITH PENALTIES FOR FEDERAL ENFORCEMENT. IF THE EQUIPMENT IS WORTH HAVING IT IS WORTH HAVING ON ITS OWN MERIT CAN WE JUSTIFY IT. 'S I'M JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THAT. IF THERE IS A DIFFERENT DECISION CALCULUS. I BELIEVE IN FAIR PAY FOR GOOD WORK. SO IT'S NOT REALLY A COMPENSATION SYSTEM. DO WE HAVE A CURRENT DOCUMENT CLASSIFICATION OF THE WORK WE ASK OUR EMPLOYEES TO DO. IN A DEFENSIBLE PAY SCALE ATTACHED TO. IF SO I WOULD LIKE TO SEE. IF IT DOES NOT THAT IT RAISES ARGUMENTS NOT DECISIONS. EQUAL PAY FOR EQUAL WORK IS IMPOSSIBLE WE DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE WORK IS. WE CAN'T ATTACH OUR RATES TO IT. ANOTHER ASPECT IS ROAD AND BRIDGE. I KNOW WE MAINTAIN FOUR SEPARATE FLEETS ACROSS FOUR SEPARATE PRECINCTS. I'M WONDERING HOW MANY GREETERS, DOZERS, LOADERS DO WE OWN IN TOTAL AND HOW MANY WILL BE IN USE AT THE END OF THE DAY? THAT WOULD LET WORK AND OTHER PRECINCTS AND THE SAME THING FOR MAINTENANCE. WE HAVE A UNIFIED MAINTENANCE SYSTEM SO WE KNOW WHERE EVERYTHING IS? I'M JUST CURIOUS ABOUT THIS BECAUSE IF WE HAVE MACHINES SITTING IDLE WHEN THEY COULD BE WORKING IT MAKES SENSE TO HAVE MORE MACHINES WORKING THAN THOSE SITTING IDLE. THE LAST THING I WOULD LIKE TO ASK IS THE FUNDAMENTAL QUESTION THAT UNDERLIES ANY BUDGET REQUEST. IF WE TOOK ANY RANDOM LINE ITEM OUT OF THIS BUDGET AND ASKED THE PERSON WHO REQUESTED THAT ITEM TO SAY IN ONE SENTENCE HOW A RESIDENT IN THIS COUNTY IS BETTER OFF FUNDING THIS LINE ITEM, PUMP THE DEPARTMENT BUT THE RESIDENT BUT WITH THE ANSWER BE. SOME REQUESTS ARE EASY. ROADS, DEPUTIES ON CALL. CLERKS, GEO PERSONNEL. FOR EVERY OTHER REQUEST DO WE KNOW HOW THEY BENEFIT. CAN WE POINT TO IT AND SAY SPECIFICALLY THIS REQUEST IS GOING TO BENEFIT THE PEOPLE PAYING FOR IT IN THIS WAY. AND I WOULD THINK ANALYSIS OF THE BUDGET AT THE LEVEL AND WE KNOW EVERYTHING WE ARE ASKING FOR IS UNDERSTOOD NOT ONLY BY THE PERSON REQUESTING BUT BY THE PEOPLE PAYING FOR. I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. >> WHAT ANYBODY ELSE LIKE TO COME UP AND SPEAK. LAST CALL. WE WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 9:10 TAKE NO ACTION ON THAT ITEM. >> JUDGE I HAVE SOMETHING I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE QUICKLY. >> IT IS APPROPRIATE FOR ME TO SPEAK IN THE PUBLIC HEARING P PART. >> WE WILL SPEAK ON THAT ITEM. >> I JUST WANT TO THANK THE MEMBERS OF THE BUDGET COMMITTEE AND THE FOLKS WHO COORDINATED WITH THE BUDGET COMMITTEE WHO MIGHT HOT HAVE BEEN DIRECTLY ON. THE BUDGET COMMITTEE WAS COMPRISED DIRECTLY OF MYSELF, COMMISSIONER WALDEN, ARE TREASURERS, HR DIRECTOR, SHERIFF, DISTRICT ATTORNEY, MR. RICHARD HEISER. THERE WERE SIX MEMBERS WE MET MANY TIMES FOR MANY HOURS. [00:10:05] AND HAD ASSISTANCE IN COORDINATION FROM MR. GRIMES. FROM BREAUNA WARE WHO I ALWAYS WANT TO SECRETLY GIVE A RED BULL TO DRINK BUDGET SEASON. FROM BIANCA ANDREESCU OTHERS AND IF I'M MISSING SOMEBODY I APOLOGIZE. THIS COMMITTEE SAT DOWN AND WE STARTED, THIS WAS OUR SECOND YEAR OF OPERATION. EVERY SINGLE CAPITAL AND EXISTING CAPITAL PERSONNEL IN A HOLISTIC WAY. I THINK THE COMMISSIONERS COURT HAS BEEN VERY BRISK -- RECEPTIVE TO THAT. I DO BELIEVE THIS ESSAY TAXPAYERS AT THIS POINT I WOULD GET SEVEN FIGURES EASILY OVER THE PAST YEARS COMBINED. THANK YOU TO THE MEMBERS OF THAT COMMITTEE THANK YOU TO THOSE THAT ASSISTED THE COMMITTEE AND WHAT WE DID. TRULY APPRECIATE. >> THE PUBLICATION FOR THE PUBLIC MEETING WAS POSTED IN THE NEWSPAPER AND ON OUR WEBSITE. AFTER THIS PUBLICLY TO GET THE TAX RATE IS NOT ADOPTED IT MUST BE ADOPTED WITHIN SEVEN DAYS. YOU WILL SET THE TAX RATE NEXT MONDAY SEPTEMBER 28TH AT 9:00 A.M. BECAUSE WE ARE NOT SETTING GET HERE WE NEED TO SAY THE TIME PLACE AND LOCATION OF WIN THAT TAX RATE WILL BE SET WHICH IS WITHIN THE STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS. >> GET ANY COPIES OF THAT. [III) Consider/Approve the FY2026-2027 Tarrant Regional Auto Crimes Task Force Interlocal Agreement.  (Mark Arnett / Judge Deen)] MOVED TO ITEM THREE ON 2026-2027 CONSIDER APPROVE THE TARRANT REGIONAL AUTO CRIMES TASK FORCE INTER-LOCAL AGREEMENT.

OPERATING EXPENSES ARE 662,917. CAP ADJUSTMENTS I DO HAVE 1.1924926 MILLION. HOWEVER, THAT IS OVERSTATED BY PROBABLY ABOUT 200,000 ON THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT OR REPAIR OR MAINTENANCE BUILDING SO IF WE LESS THAN THAT ADJUSTING FOR INSURANCE PROCEEDS AND ALSO WE PUT OUR MAINTENANCE COST TO BE ABSORBED BY THE BUILDING AND MAINTENANCE REPAIR LINE. AND THEN A NEW EMPLOYEE AND NONCAPITAL I.T. IS 1,211,042. I DID MOVE THE CONTINGENCY DOWN TO THIS LINE. A TOTAL OF 7,352,137. >> ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS. [00:15:01] THANK YOU. MOVED ITEM BE. CAPITAL AND NONCAPITAL BUDGET REQUESTS. KIM? I TAKE THAT AS A "YES". >> I HAVE A FEW CLEANUP ITEMS. I'M PROVIDING TO YOU ALL A SUMMARY OF EVERYTHING THAT HAS BEEN APPROVED TO THIS POINT. [C.) Discuss/Take action on FY 2027 Capital Improvement Projects.  (Mark Long / Judge Deen)] I WANT TO START WITH THE CAPITAL PROJECTS REAL QUICK. ALL THE DEPARTMENTAL REQUESTS THAT WERE SUBMITTED TOTALED UP TO LESS THAN $450,000. THAT NUMBER HAS BEEN INCLUDED WITH THE OPERATING EXPENSE OF BUILDING AND MAINTENANCE. THAT LEAVES THEM PLENTY OF MONEY TO GO AHEAD AND DO NONREPAIRS. WE TOOK THE ART OF CAPITAL PROJECTS WITH THAT LEAVES FOR CAPITAL PROJECTS IS A $500,000 THAT YOU HAVE ALREADY HAVE APPROVED FOR SPRINGTOWN. WE WILL ALSO NEED ABOUT $40,000 FOR RENOVATIONS IN THE EXISTING BUILDING SO THAT BUT WE CAN USE THE INSURANCE PROCEEDS FROM THE CLIENT FROM THAT. THAT REQUEST WAS $150,000 COVERED PARKING. THAT CAN BE SOMETHING ABSORBED AND ANOTHER LINE. AS A CONTINGENCY. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOUR PLANS ARE ABOUT TO COVER PARKING. >> WE DO NEED TO MOVE TO ALLOW THE CONTINGENCY PROCEEDS FOR THE $40,000 RENOVATION. >> WE HAVE NOT ALLOCATED THE INSURANCE PROCEEDS. IS IT INCLUDED IN THIS. HAVE WE OFFSET THE INSURANCE PROCEEDS WITH ANY OF THESE IT ITEMS? >> WE HAVE NOT. >> THEY HAVE BEEN USING INSURANCE PROCEEDS LIKE FOR THE RENOVATIONS ALREADY AT 1105. WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU ALL AND TEN SOME KIND OF BUDGET FOR RENOVATIONS. OUTSIDE OF THE BUILDING FOR A NEW AUTO. >> WHAT YOU WERE CONCERNED WITH IS THE $40,000 FOR THE RENOVATION OF THE EXISTING BUILDING THERE BUT WE STILL HAVE NOT ALLOCATED THE INSURANCE PROCEEDS FOR ANY SPECIFIC PROJECTS WE HAVE NOT VOTED TO DO THAT UNLESS WE DO THAT INDIVIDUALLY. AND SO WE NEED A MOTION TO APPROVE THE $20,000 IN RENOVATIONS TO THE EXISTING BUILDINGS. AND THAT WOULD IT BE APPROPRIATE TO ALLOCATE THE INSURANCE PROCEEDS AS FAR AS IT GOES TO THESE OTHER PROJECTS OR DO YOU WANT TO DO THAT ON A PROVISIONAL BASIS LATER. >> OFFSET WHAT WE ARE USING IN REVENUES. THOSE PROCEEDS CAN ONLY BE USED FOR REPAIRS TO EXISTING STRUCTURES THAT CAN BE FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION. >> I'M JUST ASKING IF WE SHOULD OFFSET THAT IN THE BUDGET. ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. >> PURCHASING THOSE FACTS US. >> APPROPRIATE TO USE THE INSURANCE PROCEEDS FOR THAT. >> WE NEED TO DO IF WE WOULD FORMALLY DO THAT THEN WE CAN REFUSE THE AMOUNT ON THE BUDGET BY THAT AMOUNT. >> THE COMMISSIONER I WOULD ASK JUST THE SEPARATION TO BE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. >> BUT IN A GENERAL IN GENERAL. THE MONEY WE HAVE ALLOCATED IN THE BUDGET WITH THE GENERAL FUND FOR THE INSURANCE PROCEEDS. SO THEN AS THOSE INDIVIDUAL PROJECTS COME UP WE WILL VOTE ON THOSE PROJECTS INDIVIDUALLY LATER ON BUT WE WILL HAVE THAT MONEY IN THE BUDGET AS OPPOSED TO MONEY FROM THE GENERAL FUND TO DO THOSE PROJECTS. I MOVE WE ALLOCATE $40,000 FOR THE RENOVATION OF THE SPRINGTOWN BUILDING. >> MOTION BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER HALE. ALL IN FAVOR. CARRIES 5-0. >> NOT HAVING THE EXACT AMOUNT THE MOTION WILL BE WE USE THE INSURANCE PROCEEDS TO OFFSET THE COST OF REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE [00:20:01] IN THE BUDGET. DO YOU HAVE AN EXACT AMOUNT FOR INSURANCE PROCEEDS. >> THEY HAVE BETWEEN 500,000 THAT CAN BE USED ANYWHERE PLUS THE ACTUAL DAMAGE TO SOME OF THE BUILDINGS THE TOTAL PROCEEDS TO DATE. >> USE THAT FIGURE TO OFFSET THE GENERAL FUND MONIES THAT WE WOULD HAVE FOUR PROJECTS THAT WE COULD APPLY THAT MONEY TOWARD. >> MOTION BY COMMISSIONER WALTON SECOND BY COMMISSIONER HOLT. >> ONE QUICK ITEM DISCUSSION. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I DO NOT THINK WE WOULD HAVE WHAT COMMISSIONER WALDEN IS SAYING. WE HAVE NOT EARMARKED THAT EVEN TENTATIVELY FOR ANYTHING ELSE, CORRECT? >> EVEN THE RENOVATIONS DONE WITH 1105. THAT PORTION WAS. >> I CAN'T RECALL ANYTHING ELSE. >> DISCUSSION. ALL IN FAVOR. CARRIES 5-0. [B.) Capital & Non-Capital Budget Requests.  (Kim Rivas / Judge Deen)] >> MOVE ONTO THIS PACKET. CAPITAL LAW, CAPITAL REQUESTS AT THE TOP. AT THE TOP OF THE SECOND PAGE IN THE ORANGE LINE IT SAYS UNEXPECTED EQUIPMENT PRICE BUILDING GROUNDS HAD $10,000. REMOVE THAT BACK IN TO THE BUILDING GROUNDS NONDEPARTMENT COMMITMENT CURRENTLY SITTING IN CONTINGENCY. >> THIS PREVIOUS YEAR'S BUDGET YOU WANT TO ROLE IT OVER INTO NEXT YEAR BECAUSE IT WAS NOT USED? >> DISCUSSED WE HAVE CONFIRMATION AND THE CLARITY WITH SMALL ATOLLS. WE WOULD LIKE TO MOVE THAT BACK IN TO RIGHT NOW IT IS SITTING IN 409 CONTINGENCY OR WOULD BE THE WAY IT IS APPROVED. WE WOULD LIKE -- WOULD LIKE TO MOVE BACK IN TO THE LEFT HAND BUDGET. >> WHY? >> EQUIPMENT AND SO FORTH. >> CONTINGENCY ALREADY. >> WHEN I WAS LOOKING OVER, OR NONCAP THAT CONTINGENCY EVEN IF YOU DO NOT MAYBE EVEN PUT FIVE MAYBE NOT THE WHOLE THING PUT A PORTION IN CONTINGENCY PUT A PORTION IN THEIR BUDGET THE REASON BEING IS BECAUSE WE NEED THINGS THAT CAN BREAK RIGHT. OR CERTAIN TOOLS. SOMETIMES IT MAY NOT MEET THE CAPITAL OR NONCAPITAL THRESHOLD BUT BECAUSE OF THE NATURE OF THE ITEM THEY ARE TAGGED FOR INVENTORY PURPOSES. AND WE HAVE TO ENSURE THAT THEY ARE NOT GOING TO BE SHUT DOWN. SO MAYBE A PORTION IN CONTINGENCY A PORTION IN THEIR BUDGET. >> ANY DISCUSSION ON THAT? >> FURTHER DOWN THE PRODUCTION. THIS WAS A BUILDING PURCHASE BUDGET FOR ABOUT 26. DO YOU ALL WANT TO REAPPROPRIATE THAT FOR CONSTRUCTION? 959 HAS BEEN REDUCED TO I'M SORRY, 78365. THIS COULD BE ABSORBED TO BE USED FOR OTHER CONSTRUCTION NEEDS AS WELL. IT COULD BE USED FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION. IF THE SPRINGTOWN ANNEX BUDGET EXCEEDS THE 500,000 THEN WE CAN UTILIZE IT FOR THIS OR OTHER NEEDS FOR OF THE YEAR. IT WOULD STAY IN DEPARTMENT 409. >> 780,000? >> 78365. >> IF THE REDO RANK OF THE ELECTIONS PARKING LOT EXCEEDS THE 178 OF PORTION OF THAT CAN BE USED FOR THAT AS WELL. >> I SUGGEST WE MOVE THIS TO CONTINGENCY. >> IT IS NOT INTO A DEPARTMENT REGULAR BUT YOU WANTED IN CONTINGENCY? >> I MOVE WE SHIFT AT 783,000 OVER TO CONTINGENCY FOR THE 2027 BUDGET. >> MOTION BY COMMISSIONER HOLT SECOND BY COMMISSIONER WALTON ALL IN FAVOR.

ON THAT LAST PART YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT IF YOU WOULD REPEAT THAT. >> IN HUNDRED $61,000. >> MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER HALE. CARRIES 5-0. >> WE NEED TO GET CLARIFICATION FOR THE PROCEEDS AND WHAT THE COURT IS OR YOU ALLOWING FIREARM PURCHASES. WE JUST NEED CLARIFICATIONS IF A FIREARMS LINE IT NEEDS TO BE CREATED AND HOW YOU ALL WILL HANDLE THAT. >> DECIDED NOT TO CHANGE OUR POLICY WHICH IS HISTORICALLY SIDE ARMS. THAT WE WERE SUPPORTIVE OF THE SHERIFF'S VIA THE VARIANT FUNDING TO THE LONG GUNS FOR EVERY SINGLE GUN AND BADGE IN THE COUNTY. >> THESE ARE ONES THAT HAVE BEEN CONFISCATED SOMEHOW? WHATEVER FUNDING WE PUT THOSE AND WE WOULD BE THE CLEARING HOUSE AND WE CAN PROVIDE ADDITIONAL WEAPONS FOR THAT. >> HOW THIS MONEY IS STORED UNTIL SUCH TIME. >> CERTIFIED THIS INTO FUND NUMBER 10 AT THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE AT THE LAST COURT THAT I HAD ASKED FOR CLARIFICATION THAT I KNOW THERE IS OTHER DEPARTMENTS THAT HAVE ASKED TO PURCHASE GUNS SO I JUST WANTED TO ENSURE THAT IF THIS IS PUT IN THEIR BUDGET THEY CAN PROCEED WITH PURCHASING A FIREARMS. SO I JUST WANTED CLARIFICATION AND WHAT. >> THE LINE HAS BEEN THAT WE DO NOT BY SIDE ARMS, IS THAT ACCURATE? >> THAT WOULD BE MY POSITION. BECAUSE THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE DOES NOT PURCHASE ITEMS FOR THE DEPUTIES. >> WE DO NOT. WE DO NOT ISSUE THE WEAPONS WE HAVE SOME I GUESS THEY ARE CALLED SHOOTING KITS IF AN OFFICER IS INVOLVED IN A SHOOTING WE HAVE A COUPLE REPLACEMENT GUNS WE CAN ISSUE TO THAT SIDE BEING TESTED IN THE LAB. >> FOR REGULAR EVERYDAY CARRY. >> WE DO NOT. >> THAT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE INDIVIDUAL TO PURCHASE. I THINK THE QUESTION HERE WAS WE HAD SOME DEPARTMENTS THAT WERE INTERESTED IN PURCHASING THE EVERYDAY CARRY WEAPON. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THAT IS WHERE ONE OF THOSE CAME FROM. >> WANTED SHOTGUNS OR SOMETHING THOSE WERE PUT OFF TO THE SIDE. JUST WANTED CONSISTENCY AND CLARIFICATION. WHEN ASKED TO BE ROLLED THAT THEY CAN PROCEED WITH WHATEVER PURCHASES. >> WE ARE GOOD WITH THE PURCHASE OF LONG GUNS IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT IS THE COURT'S HISTORIC POSITION. >> I GUESS ALSO FOR CLARIFICATION CONSTABLES RECEIVING 287G PROCEEDS. IF THEY PURCHASING THOSE TYPES OF WEAPONS. WHERE EVERYTHING WILL GO THR THROUGH. YOU CAN PASS ALONG THOSE OBVIOUSLY IF YOU ARE BUYING NEW ONES YOU HAVE TO TRAIN CREDENTIALED OFFICERS UNDER 2 287G. >> I DON'T HAVE AN ISSUE WITH INDIVIDUAL DEPARTMENT OUTSIDE OF USING 287G FOR LONG GUNS. >> I GUESS THE QUESTION IS WEAR THOSE MONEY WILL BE STORED. >> THE RULE OVER ITS WE HAVE [00:30:05] THEM INTO THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT IN THEIR BUDGET. >> WHAT IS YOUR PREFERENCE.

THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER DISCUSSIONS THAT I ASK FOR CLARIFICATION ON THE. >> DID NOT KNOW ADDITIONAL MONEY WAS PUT INTO THIS NUMBER THIS LINE ITEM RIGHT HERE UNLESS WE HAVE ADDITIONAL PROCEEDS IS NOT CORRECT. >> I GUESS IT WOULD BE MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE WOULD BE AMPLE FUNDING. CLEARING THE HOUSE PURCHASING THROUGH THE DEPARTMENT AND THEN MOVED OUT TO OTHERS OR WILL THEY BE DOING THAT ON THEIR OWN IN EXCESS OF QUESTION? >> I THINK THAT WILL BE THE DECISION WE WOULD BE HAPPY TO TAKE THE LEAD. >> SPECIFICALLY THIS ITEM HAS TO DO WITH GUN PROCEEDS COME THROUGH PROBABLY YOUR DEPARTMENT. >> ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY. >> SO LET'S JUMP OVER TO THE I.T..

AND WE CAN PROVE IN THE EVENT THAT THE CITY WILL PUT IT IN. >> COULD YOU EARMARK THAT 150 SPECIFICALLY FOR FIRE? >> SPECIFICALLY FOR THAT. >> WHAT COMMISSIONER HOLT JUST MENTIONED WOULD NOT NECESSARILY BE THE SITUATION. >> EARMARKED FOR CONTINGENCY THEY DON'T HAVE TO USE. WHAT IS IN THE CONTINGENCY? >> THERE IS NOT A MECHANISM IN PLACE. >> THE THING TO NOTE IT IS NOT FROM A BUDGET THAT WE HAVE ANY CONTROL OVER. EITHER TO REJECT OR APPROVE.

WE ACTUALLY JUST DO A TRANSFER FOR ACTUAL EXPENDITURE. ANY FUNDS NOT UTILIZED WE DO NOT TRANSFER THAT AMOUNT. THE AMOUNT BUDGETED IN THE GENERAL FUND TO FUND THOSE BUDGETS IF THEY DO NOT SPEND THOSE PROJECTS WE ONLY TRANSFERRED WHAT IS NECESSARY TO COVER THOSE EXPENDITURES. >> IS THERE A WAY TO BE NOTIFIED OF THAT MONEY IS USED FOR SOMETHING ELSE? >> YES IF WE PROCESS THE BUDGET ADJUSTMENT AGAIN. AND THE BOARD APPROVES THAT WE PROCESS THOSE OUTSIDE OF COURT THERE COULD BE A NOTIFICATION OF THAT. >> I THINK I WOULD LIKE TO BE NOTIFIED IF THAT IS ALL RIGHT. IF THAT IS USED FOR SOMETHING OTHER THAN FIRE SUPPRESSION. SO WE LEAVE IT IN THAT LINE I ITEM. >> THAT LINE ITEM IN THE BUDGET. >> BUDGET WITHIN OUR RESPONSIBILITIES TO SAY. >> YES, SIR,. >> I AM ON THAT BOARD AND I UNDERSTAND THE DYNAMICS OF THAT IT COMES TO US.
