I WANT TO GO AHEAD AND OPEN THE MEETING FOR THE PARKER COUNTY COMMISSIONER'S COURT SPECIAL AGENDA FOR MONDAY, OCTOBER 5TH, 2026.
UH, WE WILL MOVE TO THE ITEMS TO CONSIDER, DISCUSS, AND ACT UPON THE FOLLOWING.
[I.A. Discuss/Approve Basic Ordering Agreement with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. (Mark Arnett/ Judge Deen)]
AND, UH, WE'LL MOVE DOWN TO ITEMS ONE ON APPROVAL.DISCUSS APPROVED BASIC ORDERING AGREEMENT WITH US IMMIGRATION AND CUSTOMS ENFORCEMENT.
UH, LIKE WHEN ICE DOES SOME OF THEIR SURGES THAT UH, WE'LL HOLD THEIR PRISONERS, UH, FOR UP TO 48 HOURS.
UH, THE AGREEMENT WE KIND OF HAVE IN PLACE NOW THAT WE DON'T CHARGE ICE UP TO 72 HOURS.
IT'S JUST SO THIS IS JUST A, AN AGREEMENT.
THEY'RE TRYING TO GET US SOME MORE MONEY.
MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER, A SECOND BY COMM COMMISSIONER CONLEY.
ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? MOTION CARRIES FOUR.
OH, WHAT DO YOU THAT'S, THAT'S A CONTRACT.
I'LL TAKE CARE OF THAT IN A SECOND.
[I.B. Discuss and approve updated Salary Schedule for FY 2027. (Becky McCullough/ Commissioner Walden)]
ITEM B ON DISCUSS, APPROVE.UPDATE HIS SALARY SCHEDULE FOR FY 2027.
UM, I KNOW I'VE HAD A DISCUSSION WITH COMMISSIONER WALDEN ABOUT THE SALARY SCHEDULE AND SO MANY THOUGHTS HONESTLY ABOUT SALARY SCHEDULE.
BUT BASICALLY ALL I DID WAS KIND OF GO IN AND TWEAK A FEW POSITIONS HERE OR THERE, A FEW MAX SALARIES BASED ON DECISIONS THAT WERE JUST MADE IN COMMISSIONER'S COURT.
UM, I WILL SAY AGAIN, I DO THINK THAT THIS NEEDS, UH, I THINK IT WAS BACK IN 2023 WHEN WE ACTUALLY DID A SALARY COMMITTEE.
THAT IS WHAT ORIGINALLY CAME UP WITH THIS IDEA.
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT HAPPEN AGAIN.
UM, I THINK THIS SCHEDULE DOES ADDRESS EVERYTHING THAT WAS JUST APPROVED THROUGH THE PAST BUDGET.
UM, SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS THAT I DID TAKE, WE USED TO HAVE A SEPARATION BETWEEN AN OFFICE MANAGER, KIND OF DEPENDING ON WHAT OFFICE YOU ARE.
I JUST MADE ALL OFFICE MANAGERS THE SAME ACROSS THE BOARD.
UM, SO THEN THAT WAY PRECINCTS, ATTORNEYS, YOU KNOW, DIFFERENT OFFICES, AGAIN, THIS DOESN'T INCREASE THEIR BUDGETS.
ANYTHING BASED ON WHAT Y'ALL ALREADY APPROVED FOR FISCAL 27.
BUT IT DOES ALLOW FOR INCREASES WITHIN THE SCALE IF YOU ALREADY HAVE THE FUNDS AVAILABLE.
SO THIS, THIS IS NOT CHANGING ANYBODY'S SALARIES, IT'S TWEAKING THE SCALE.
MORE REFLECTION OF WHAT SHOULD BE OR WHAT IS.
MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN.
ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS? AND I WOULD PROBABLY COME BACK JUST KIND OF FYI BACK LATE JANUARY.
LET ME GET THROUGH OPEN ENROLLMENT.
UM, AND THEN EARLY FEBRUARY TO LOOK TO PUT TOGETHER A NEW, A SALARY COMMITTEE.
THAT WAY WHENEVER WE HAVE SOME REALLY GOOD PARAMETERS SET IN PLACE THAT AS DEPARTMENT HEADS ARE GETTING READY TO START, UM, YOU KNOW, COMPLETING BUDGET REQUESTS THAT THIS PIECE IS ALREADY DONE.
AND I WILL ASK FOR A MEMBER FROM COURT.
ALL IN FAVOR? THANK YOU CARRIE.
