The Commissioners Court may not take formal action on any requests made during the Public Comment period which are not on the Agenda, but can refer such requests to County staff for review if appropriate.] ITEM G PUBLIC COMMENT . FIRST, WE HAVE MICHAEL RICKARDS . IF YOU WOULD STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS PLEASE. >> MY NAME IS MICHAEL RITGERS A 5918 SOUTH OSO PARKWAY , CORPUS CHRISTI. THE JUDGE, COMMISSIONERS, I'M SPEAKING IN OPPOSITION TO THE ISSUANCE OF THE CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION FOR THE BUILDING OF A HOSPITAL CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION WERE DESIGNED TO ALLOW GOVERNMENTS TO FUND NEEDS FOR WHICH FUNDIN IS NOT IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE I A BUDGET AND THERE IS NOT TIME TO GET OVER APPROVAL. THIS MEAN THE FINANCING HAS MORPHED OVE THE LAST COUPLE OF DECADES INTO A GOVERNMENT CREDIT CARD, WHIC IS BEING USED TO CHARGE WHATEVE IS WANTED. IT NO LONGER SEEMS TO BE A NEEDS-BASED SYSTEM. IT SEEMS TO ME THERE IS A FEAR OF TAKING THIS PROJECT TO THE VOTERS . THERE IS NO PERCEIVABL REST TO BUILD A HOSPITAL FOR $45 MILLION, 85 MILLION AFTER INTEREST IS ADDED IN. THE QUESTION TO THE VOTERS , THE SUGGESTION HAS BEEN MADE THAT THE PAYBACK WILL NOT BE IN THE FORM OF HIGHER TAXES, ALTHOUGH THAT MIGHT BE POSSIBLE , IN MY ESTIMATION, THAT IS A STRETCH. IF THIS PROJECT WILL NOT RAIS TAXES, THE VOTERS MOST LIKELY VOTED IN AND GAVE THEM A VOTE. IT HAS OFTEN BEEN SUGGESTED THA THIS PROJECT WILL REVITALIZE AN AREA THAT MIGHT NOT OTHERWISE B REVITALIZED. I HAVE LIVED IN CORPUS CHRISTI ALL OF MY LIFE. THE AREA WE ARE DISCUSSING HAS NOT CHANGED IN MANY DECADES . I WAS PRETTY MUCH THE SAME IN TH 70S WHEN MEMORIAL HOSPITAL WA A PREMIER MEDICAL CENTER IN CORPUS CHRISTI. JUST BUILDING HOSPITAL WILL NOT REVITALIZE THAT AREA. AS OUR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES , YOU SHOULD RAIN IN THE USE OF CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION. YOU SHOULD LIVE WITHIN A BUDGET. THANK YOU . >> THANK YOU . LIZ MILLER. >> HELLO. LIZ MILLER. 5139 TOMAHAWK IN ROSSDALE. YOU ALL KNOW WHY I'M HERE. THERE ARE 1000 THINGS I WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS WITH ANIMAL SERVICES BU THIS IS PRIORITY. PENTOBARBITA IS A CLASS TWO SCHEDULED DEA REGULATED CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE. THE ONLY TROUBLE REGULATING AND CONSIDERED MORE DANGEROUS BY TH DEA IS HEROIN, ECSTASY AND ALIKE. THOUGH THERE ARE LEGISLATIVE EFFORTS TO UPGRADE FENTANYL TO A CLASS ONE, IT IS STILL IN THE SAME CLASS AS PENTOBARBITAL. BETWEEN OCTOBER 3RD AND FEBRUARY 3RD EXACTLY 4 MONTHS , ANIMAL SERVICES CANNOT ACCOUNT FOR 33.5 MILLIMETERS F PENTOBARBITAL, A DRUG EQUATED T FENTANYL BY THE DEA. THEY SPELLED AN ADDITIONAL 10 MILLILITERS OF THE DRUG IN A SINK, AIR QUOTES ON THAT. ON TOP OF THAT WEEKS TO THREE MONTHS AFTER THE INCIDENT. TO UNDERSTAND THE GRAVITY OF THE SITUATION, ANIMA SERVICES HAD 108 LITERS IN AN OPEN CONTAINER ON OCTOBER 3RD AND THIS WAS PLACED ONLY 40% I THREE MONTHS. ADDITIONALLY, ANIMAL SERVICES [00:40:02] MAKING IT EXCEPTIONALLY EASY T USE A BOTTLE OF PENTOBARBITAL. AS FOR THE SPILL, IF IT'S REALLY A OCCURRED, IT NEVER SHOULD HAVE. FOR THAT DRUG TO HIT A SINK MEANS EVERYTHING WA IGNORED, EVERY ONE OF THEM. PRODUCT CANNOT GET INTO ANY WATERWAYS BECAUSE IT IS TOXIC T A LOT OF LIFE AND WILDLIFE. TH DRUG SHOULD HAVE BEEN NOWHERE NEAR THE SINK. IF THIS TRULY OCCURRED, THE DRUG IS IN THE WASTEWATER PLANTS. THAT PROVIDES SOME SOLACE, BUT IF SOMETHING FELL WHERE THEY REACHED PLANS, IT COULD HIT OU DRAINS AND DITCHES IN A HIGHLY CONCENTRATED STATE REEKING DEVASTATION. PARDON ME, ON WILDLIFE AND PIONEERS. IT COULD HURT A CHILD OR PET. IT WAS A NEGLIGENT AND UNNECESSARY RISK TO DRAW THE DRUG OVER A SINK. BASED ON ALL OF THE ERRORS , TH DISCOUNT FOR SAFETY, NOT FOLLOWING REGULATIONS, THE FIRST IS ANIMAL SERVICES IS EUTHANIZING OFF THE BOOKS TO RELIEFS NUMBERS WHICH IS ILLEGAL AND THE SECOND IS A ATTIC TO THE DEALER IN THE FACILITY WHICH IS ALSO ILLEGAL. DRUG AWAY FROM ANIMAL SERVICES AND OUTSOURCE EUTHANASIA TO A VET OR GET THE MANAGER OUT AWAY FROM THE DRUG BY TERMINATION. I DON'T CARE WHICH I HAVE LOST ALL TRUST TO MANAGE THE DEPARTMENT WITH HUMANE STANDARDS. I APPRECIATE THIS. >> THE JUDGE, SOMETHING I KNOW THAT WE DO WITH PUBLIC COMMENTS, BUT THESE ARE PRETTY SERIOUS ACCUSATIONS AND WE HAVE OUR CHIEF LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER AND COUNTY ATTORNEY. IF THAT IS A STATEMENT THAT IS BEING MADE WITH MARY, I WOULD LIKE THAT TO BE INVESTIGATED FOR US TO GET A REPORT BACK TO US BECAUSE THAT IS CONCERNING IF THAT IS TRUE.

SCOTT, YOU AR UP . >> HAVING NOT CONFIRMED - >> HANG ON, YOU HAVE TO HAVE TH MICROPHONE. >> SORRY ABOUT THAT. I DID NOT WANT TO HOLD US UP. WE HAD THIS ONE ON BEFORE. WE HAD TO NOT EXECUTE ANYTHING BECAUSE WHEN THAT GOT PUT ON, WE DID NOT VERIFY THAT ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNERS WERE NOTIFIED. WE TOLD THE APPLICANT THAT THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR NOTIFYING ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNERS BUT WE HAVE TO SEEK PROOF THEY HAVE SENT OUT NOTIFICATION. WE HAVE THAT NOW AND WE ARE READY TO BRING THAT BACK. I WILL LET CHRISTINE TELL YOU THE DETAILS AND WHAT SHE DID WORKING WITH THE ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNERS . >> THE JONES FAMILY HAD SENT A LETTER TO THE COUNTY WITHIN THEIR CONCERN ABOUT THE IMPACT FROM THE VIOLATION WORK THAT I CAUSED WITH CROSSING PROPERTY LINES, ISSUES OF STORM WATER AND EROSION AND IS ONE OF THE CONDITIONS OF OUR PERMITS FROM THE COUNTY AND ONE OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS AND RULES FROM THE PLAN THAT YOU CANNOT CAUSE IMPACTS FROM STORMWATER EROSION AND STUFF TO YOUR ADJACENT [01:00:05] LANDOWNERS. THAT WAS IN THE APPROVAL LETTER THAT WE DRAFTED UP. TO ADDRESS SPECIFIC CONCERNS OF THE JONES FAMILY, W ADDED A MORE SPECIFIC CONDITION OF THE APPROVAL. >> LET ME STOP YOU RIGHT THERE THE JONES FAMILY HAS BEEN DESIGNATED. THEY HAVE BEEN RECOGNIZED AND AUTHORIZED AS THE JONES FAMILY. I KNOW THERE HAVE BEEN QUESTIONS BROUGHT UP AS FAR AS WHO IS THE DESIGNATED JONES FAMILY, IS THAT RIGHT? . >> WE GOT THE LETTER FROM LARRY JONES , THAT IS WHERE THE LETTE CAME FROM. THAT IS WHO WE ARE TRYING TO ADDRESS AS LARRY JONE AND HIS SON THAT ARE CUSTODIAN OF THE PROPERTY NEXT DOOR. I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ANY OTHER JONES FAMILY. >> THANK YOU FOR THE CLARIFICATION.

TO SCHEDULE REPAIR FOR THESE CAUSED BY THE SUBJEC APPLICATION, THE APPLICANT WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR OBTAINING TH JONES FAMILY APPROVAL FOR PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION AND ACCES METHODS TO RE-. STANDARDS FOR REPAIR COMPLETION AND POST REPAIR MONITORING. WE ARE TELLING THE APPLICANT IF YOU HAVE CAUSED THESE IMPACTS, YOU HAVE TO WORK WITH THE JONES FAMILY TO COME TO AN AGREEMENT. >> DOES THE APPLICANT ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THEY HAVE CAUSED THIS? >> THEY HAVE RECEIVED A COPY OF THE LETTER AND HAVE BEEN TALKING TO THE JONES FAMILIES REPRESENTATIVES. THEY SAID THE HAVE AGREED TO IT BUT IT IS BY THE TECH AND THE COUNTIES PLAN THAT ANY WORK THAT IS AUTHORIZED, A PROTECTION PERMIT CANNOT CAUSE IMPACTS TO THE ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNERS , SO THERE ARE IMPACTS TO THEM , IT IS UP TO THE APPLICANT TO REPAI THOSE. THIS ADDED CONDITION BECAUSE WE RECEIVED THE LETTER. . >> THIS HAPPENED PROBABLY CLOSE TO TWO YEARS AGO. I WAS NOTIFIE BY THE GENERAL LAND OFFICE THAT THERE WAS UNAUTHORIZED ACTIVITY GOING ON ON THIS PIECE OF LAND. THIS WAS BETWEEN THE COUNTY PARK AND THE JONES FAMILY. I CANNOT VERIFY AND I SAW WHERE THE VIOLATIONS WERE. I ISSUED CEASE AND DESIST LETTER BECAUSE THEY HAVE DONE IMPACTS TO DUNE VEGETATION WETLANDS WITHOUT A PERMIT SOUTH THEY DID AND AUTHORIZED ACTIVITY. AS A RESUL OF THAT, I WORKED WITH THE CORP OF ENGINEERS, THE GENERAL LAND OFFICE AND MYSELF TO GET ACCESS TO THE PROPERTY SO WE COULD ASSESS WHAT HAD BEEN DONE. AT FIRST, THEY PUT UP NO TRESPASSING SIGNS. WE DON'T HAV AUTHORITY TO GO PAST THAT AND THEY AGREED TO MEET WITH US AND LOOK AT THE DAMAGES THAT WERE UNAUTHORIZED. WE DID THAT AND A A RESULT, WE WENT BACK THROUGH THE PROCESS ISSUING THIS PERMIT TO FIX WHAT HAS BEEN BROKEN . NOT ANY CONSTRUCTION PAST THAT, THEY RESTORED WHAT WAS DAMAGED WITH UNAUTHORIZED IMPACTS. THA IS WHAT WE ARE DOING. >> I THINK I HEARD THAT SAY THA THE JONES FAMILY GOT TO BE THE FINAL DAY CENTER ON WHETHER OR NOT THE IMPACT WAS TAKEN CARE OF? >> THE JONES FAMILY AS A ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNER, THEY HAVE TO BE NOTIFIED THAT THIS INDIVIDUAL WILL FIX THESE VIOLATIONS . AS A RESULT OF HIM FIXING THE VIOLATIONS, HE CANNO CREATE ANY IMPACTS TO THEIR PROPERTY WITH NEEDING STORMWATER DRAINAGE. >> READ THE LAST PART TO ME. SOUNDED LIKE THE JONES FAMILY THAT TO BE THE FINAL ARBITER OF WHETHER THEY WERE FIXED OR NOT. >> THIS SHOULD BE CLARIFIED BECAUSE THEY SHOULD BE MONITORING FOR THEIR PROPERTY SHOULD BE ADDED TO THE END. INAUDIBLE ] ACCESS METHODS AND REPAIRS, COMPLETION AND POST REPAIR MONITORING ON THEIR PROPERTY OR ON THE JONES PROPERTY SHOULD BE ADDED TO TH END. >> READ THE WHOLE THING AGAIN. SPEAK INTO THE MICROPHONE BETTER. WHEN YOU READ THAT THE FIRST TIME, I WAS CONCERNED. >> THE APPLICANT WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR OBTAINING THE JONES FAMILY APPROVAL FOR PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION AND ACCES METHODS, SO HOW WILL THEY DO IT - >> HOW THEY WILL REPAIR THE DAMAGES THEY HAVE DONE. THE [01:05:01] FIRST SENTENCE SOUNDS LIKE WHY ARE THEY THE JONES FAMILY? >> I ALSO PUT STANDARDS FOR REPAIR COMPLETION ON THEIR PROPERTY , THEY GET TO DECIDE WHEN THAT IS DONE AND POST REPAIR MONITORING. IF THEY WAN ANY MONITORING AFTER THE INITIA COMPLETION, THAT'S BETWEEN THE APPLICANT AND THE JONES FAMILY ON THEIR PROPERTY. >> EVERY OTHER APPLICANT IN TH FUTURE, WILL THEY HAVE THE ADJOINING PROPERTIES NAMES IN AFFAIRS LIKE THIS. ? >> IF THEY SUBMIT CONCERNED LETTERS, WE COULD NOTE THEM , BUT THIS WAS ADDED WITH A ATTEMPT TO ADDRESS A LETTER SENT TO THE COUNTY. >> WHAT IF THERE IS A DISPUTE THAT THE TWO PARTIES CANNOT RESOLVE ON THEIR OWN, THEN WHAT HAPPENS? >> ALL WE ARE REQUIRED TO DO WORKING WITH THE GENERAL LAND OFFICE IN THE ARMY CORPS IS TO ADDRESS VIOLATIONS ON THE APPLICANT'S PROPERTY . IF THE APPLICANT VENTURED OFF OF HIS PROPERTY AND DID SOMETHING TO THE ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNERS, WHICH I DON'T KNOW IF THAT IS TRUE OR NOT TRUE, >> I'M SAYING WHAT IF THE TWO PARTIES CANNOT RESOLVE A WAY TO MITIGATE THE DAMAGES, WHO DECIDES WHAT HAPPENS, OR DOES THAT PROPERTY REMAIN IN LIMBO BECAUSE SOMEONE DOESN'T AGREE? >> IF THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT DAMAGES ON THE ADJACENT PROPERT , THAT'S BETWEEN THE TWO PROPERTY OWNERS. WE WILL NOT GE INTO THE PROPERTY DISPUTE. WE ARE DEALING WITH DAMAGES ON TH APPLICANT PROPERTY. IF THERE AR DAMAGES ON AN ADJACENT PROPERT OWNERS PROPERTY, THEN THE ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNER AND THE LANDOWNER HERE WILL HAVE TO WORK SOMETHING OUT. >> THE APPLICANT IS BOB WALTERS IF BOB WALTERS AND THE JONES FAMILY CANNOT WORK OUT THEIR DIFFERENCES, DOES THAT STOP THE APPLICANT TO DEVELOP HIS PROPERTY? >> NOT AS LONG AS HE DOESN'T CREATE ANY IMPACTS ON THE PROPERTY. THERE IS NO CONSTRUCTION WITH THIS OTHER THAN RESTORATION OF WHAT HAS BEEN DONE. >> I JUST DON'T WANT TO PUT A CONDITION IN PLACE WHERE IT IS OPEN-ENDED AND PEOPLE ARE FIGHTING AND CANNOT MOVE FORWAR BECAUSE THE TWO PARTIES CANNOT AGREE. >> I AGREE. THAT'S A GOOD POINT >> YOU ARE SAYING YOU DON'T THINK THIS CONDITION DOES THAT? SPECIFICALLY WHERE THEY HAVE TO WORK WITH THE ADJACENT LANDOWNER. THIS IS ALREADY A CONDITION FOR APPROVAL THAT IMPACTS THE APPLICANT. THIS IS JUST A DIFFERENT NAME OR NEIGHBOR BECAUSE WE RECEIVED THAT LETTER. >> COME ON UP. THIS IS SANDY HART, A REPRESENTATIVE. >> SORRY, I WAS RUNNING IN A LITTLE BIT LATE. THE CURRENT DU PERMIT, JUST A GENERAL DUE PERMIT, THE WAY IT IS WRITTEN NOW PROTECTS THE ADJACENT LANDOWNERS FROM ANY SORT OF IMPACTS THAT MIGHT HAPPEN WHETHER IT IS A RESTORATION TYPE PERMIT OR IF IT IS A NEW CONSTRUCTION. THE CONDITIONS ARE WRITTEN INTO THE DUE PERMIT TO HANDLE THAT AS IS. I KNOW THAT SHE PUT IN ANY ADDITIONAL CONDITION BECAUSE OF THE LETTER BUT THEY WERE PROTECTED FROM TH BEGINNING.. >> DO YOU OBJECT TO THIS CONDITION? >> I CAME IN A LITTLE BIT LATE TO NOT HEAR THE ENTIRE THING BU I THINK THAT PROTECTS THEM STIL FURTHER SAYING THAT IF THERE I SOME DISAGREEMENT THAT THEY HAV TO WORK IT OUT AND I AGREE WITH YOU. THE DUE PERMIT IS NOT SET UP TO WORK THIS AGREEMENT OUT WITH LANDOWNERS. THAT IS NOT WHAT THAT IS FOR. WHETHER THEY AGREE THERE WERE OTHER ISSUES OR NOT, THIS STRICTLY PROTECTS THE ADJACENT LANDOWNER AND MY CLIENT FOR THE WORK THAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO RIGHT NOW TO RESTORE WHAT THEY DID. >> IF YOU ARE OKAY WITH THE LANGUAGE , THEN OKAY. >> CAN I LOOK AT THAT REALLY QUICK ? >> I'M JUST MAKING SURE WE WILL NOT DO SOMETHING AT THE LAST MINUTE TO TAKE A SECOND LOOK AT IT BECAUSE I DON'T WANT YOU TO RUSH INTO ANYTHING. >> I'M NOT SAYING THERE WERE [01:10:13] IMPACTS BECAUSE I'M NOT 100% SURE. >> SPEAK INTO THE MICROPHONE PLEASE. >> IT IS MY OPINION AND POSITIO THAT I DO NOT FEEL LIKE THE VIOLATION THAT MY CLIENT DID IMPACTED THEIR PROPERTY. NOW RETURNING IT BACK TO WHAT IT WAS, WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING THAT WIL IMPACT THEIR PROPERTY . I THIN IF SHE PUTS "IF THERE ARE IMPACTS, THEN I'M FINE WITH THAT. I JUST WANT TO SAY THERE WOULD BE IMPACTS IF THERE ARE NOT. " >> AS LONG AS WE DON'T HAVE YO BACK IN HERE TO SPEAK, WE DON' NEED ANY MORE DISPUTES WITH THE JONES FAMILY. >> WE DON'T WANT YOU SEND UNNECESSARY PRESIDENTS EITHER. I THINK THAT IS WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO ESTABLISH AS WELL. >> THE JUDGE. >> YES SIR? >> ANOTHER CONCERN HERE , I HEA TOO MANY I DON'T KNOWS , AND THIS WAS THE ISSUE LAST TIME, TOO , YOU KNOW, SO I DON'T KNO IF WE CAN FIND OUT IF THIS IS TRUE OR NOT TRUE , SO GOING BAC AND FORTH ALL DAY LONG THAT WILL BE IN THE BEST INTEREST , AND WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY WAN TO GET THAT WRITTEN DOWN IN WRITING OR AGREEMENT. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THIS AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE JONES AND BOTH OF THE PARTIES WITH THE COUNTY AN JONES FAMILY I GUESS. SCOTT ALSO MENTIONED IS INVOLVED IN THIS THING OR NOT. I THINK A LOT OF THINGS NEED TO BE ANSWERED TO CLARIFY WHAT WE ARE DOING. ALWAYS THROWING THINGS AROUND, WE NEED TO RETHINK THE CLOSURE AND MAK SURE WE ARE SAYING THE RIGHT THINGS AND DOING THE RIGHT THINGS. KNOW HOW WE GOT INVOLVED IN THIS. I WOULD HATE TO HIRE SOMEBODY , BUT LOOK INTO THAT AND LET OF SNOW FOR THE COUNTY ATTORNEY . THAT IS WHAT IT IS AND WE MOVE FORWARD. >> I THINK IF I UNDERSTAND YOU CORRECTLY , COMMISSIONER, YOU ARE SAYING BASICALLY THIS IS COVERED FOR THE AND PROTECTION PERMITS, IF YOU DO DAMAGE ON SOMEONE ELSE'S PROPERTY , THEN THIS IS THE RULES AND REGULATIONS ARE IN THERE FOR THAT, THAT WE DON'T GET INTO TH WEEDS OF INDIVIDUAL PROPERTY OWNERS NEXT DOOR AND IF SOMETHING DOES HAPPEN LIKE THAT THEN THAT IS BETWEEN THE TWO LANDOWNERS AND THAT WOULD BE A LITIGATION LAWSUIT OR WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT, SO WE ARE TRYING TO IMPLEMENT WORDING INT SOMETHING THAT WE DON'T HAVE FO ANYBODY ELSE AND IT IS NOT NECESSARY FOR US. WE ARE NOT INVOLVED IN THE END ARGUMENT ANYWAY AND WE PUT OURSELVES IN THERE BY ADDING THIS WORDING WHERE AS CHRIS SAID, THEN ARE W [01:15:04] GOING TO BE INVOLVED IN THE DISPUTE AT THE END? THE DUE PERMITS ALREADY REQUIRE THE INDIVIDUAL TO CLEAN UP ANY DAMAGE OR ANYTHING, I THINK I WOULD BE AGAINST ADDING THE WORDING FOR THAT BECAUSE THAT I BETWEEN TWO PRIVATE ENTITIES, NOT THE COUNTY AND US. >> ADDRESSING THE COMMISSIONERS IN YOUR STATEMENT, YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. IF WE PUT THIS IN HERE, WE ARE GOING ABOV AND BEYOND BECAUSE IF YOU READ THE ADMINISTRATIVE CODE, IF YOU READ THE BEACH MANAGEMENT PLAN AND THE RULES WE GO BY AND THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT ARE IN TH BEACH OF THE RULES, THEY HAVE COMMENTED ON WHAT THEY EXPECT THAT WE SUBMITTED TO THEM FOR REVIEW TO BRING BACK TO YOU. THE GL IS BASICALLY WITH OUR DOING PROTECTION AUTHORITY UNDERNEATH THEM, WE HAVE TO HAVE THE APPLICANT AND OWNER ADDRESS VIOLATIONS. WE HAVE WARNED THEM THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING THAT WILL AFFECT ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNERS. IF THEY DO THAT, THEN YOU ARE CORRECT, THAT IS BETWEEN THE TW PARTIES. WE DO NOT REGULATE THE DIFFERENCES. IF THEY IMPACTED THEIR PROPERTY COOL ALREADY, WHICH I'M NOT AWARE OF, THEN THAT IS BETWEEN THEM. THAT IS A BIG ISLAND. PEOPLE START MOVIN DIRT AND NOT ALWAYS DO WE SEE O KNOW THAT. WE ALWAYS HAVE TO BE ON THE SPOT MONITORING EVERYTHING. WE HAVE TO GO BACK ALL THE TIME AND FIX IT. I KNOW CHRISTINE HAS TALKED WITH THE JONES FAMILY MEMBERS, OR A MEMBER AND I TALKED WITH MR. WALTERS, THE PROPERTY OWNER, HE WANTS TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT. HE WANTS TO FIX WHAT HE WANTS TO FIX AND WE CANNOT TELL HIM TO D ANY MORE THAN THAT . THAT'S ALL WE CAN DO. >> LIKE I SAID, I THINK THAT'S COVERED. IF WE GET INVOLVED, WE ARE GETTING INVOLVED IN THE FUTURE FOR OTHER PARTIES AND WE ARE PUTTING OURSELVES IN THE EQUATION THAT IS NOT NECESSARY. TALKING THIS OUT WITH US. >> IF THAT STUFF IS COVERED IN PUTTING SOMETHING EXTRA, THAT MEANS WE HAVE TO DO THIS FOR EVERYBODY ELSE. >> INCLUDED IN THE QUESTION, THEY DON'T WANT ANY PART OF THAT. >> WE TOOK THIS ON ADVISORY, WE ADDRESSED WHAT WE HAD TO ADDRES WITH THE FEDERAL REGULATORY AN STATE REGULATORY AGENCIES. WE ARE DOING OUR DUE DILIGENCE TO DO THE MITIGATION FOR IMPACTS AND THEY ARE NOT CONTACTING TH COUNTY BECAUSE WE ARE THE NORTHERN ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNER. >> THAT IS A GOOD POINT. THAT' A GOOD QUESTION. >> I WOULD MAKE A MOTION TO PAS WITHOUT THAT LANGUAGE IN IT SINCE IT IS ALREADY COVERED WITH ALL OF OUR OTHER DUE , YOU ARE SETTING A PRESIDENT THAT WE DON'T WANT TO GET INTO THE PROPERTY RIGHTS. >> SECOND. >> I HAVE A MOTION AND SECOND, IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? CONDITION? >> SHE WOULD HAVE TO READ THAT AGAIN. >> FROM THE COUNTY'S APPROVAL LETTER FOR THE APPLICANT WILL NOTIFY ADJACENT LAND OWNER, TH JONES FAMILY, WITH THEIR ADDRES AND EMAIL ADDRESS TO SCHEDULE REPAIRS TO JONES IMPACT THE PROPERTY IF THERE WAS SOMETHIN BY THE SUBJECT VIOLATION. APPLICANT WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR OBTAINING THE JONES FAMILY APPROVAL PLUS CONSTRUCTION AND ACCESS METHODS , IMPULSE REPAIR MONITORING ON THE JONES FAMILY PROPERTY. THAT STATEMENT WILL B STRUCK FROM THE APPROVAL LETTE AND THE STANDARD LETTER THAT WILL SAY WE CANNOT IMPACT ADJACENT LANDOWNERS STANCE. >> WE DON'T WANT TO GET INVOLVE WITH INDIVIDUAL PROPERTY OWNERS WE HAVE A MOTION IN SECOND. AN DISCUSSION? ALL OF THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. ANY OPPOSED [3.

THEIR MEETING IS COMING UP WHEN? THE 26TH . ANY QUESTIONS? >> I DID NOT HAVE ANY BACKUP SO [01:20:05] I EXPLAINED WHAT WE ARE DOING. >> THAT IS CORRECT. THE JUDGE WAS THERE SO WE WERE TALKING TO THE DISTRICT. CORRECT. WE WIL REQUEST THE ISSUES BEFORE THE BOARD AND ASK THEM TO ASSIST WITH THE ENVIRONMENT OF THE CONTROL. LAST YEAR, WE HAVE A CONTRACT FOR 2 MILLION THAT COVERS HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND TH CONTROL AND WE WILL BE INCLUDING THE STAFF THAT IS ASSISTANT OF THE BUILDING AND ALSO TO INCLUDE THE MOBILE LINK. >> IS THIS ADDITIONAL FUNDING REQUEST WE ARE MAKING, OR IS THIS SHIFTING THE FUNDS? >> THIS IS SHIFTING SOME OF THE FUNDS. >> WHEN WE MOVED THE GENTLEMAN FROM THEIR OFFICES, THESE ARE THINGS THEY HAVE BEEN DOING. >> CORRECT, THIS WAS UNDER THE MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONER, SO THIS USED TO BE THREE STAFF MEMBERS AND NOW THEY WILL ASSIS WITH TWO STAFF MEMBERS WHICH INCLUDES THE SALARIES AND BENEFITS AND EXPENSES FOR THE BUILDING. >> THIS IS WITH A 5% INCREASE. >> THE 5% INCREASE IS BECAUSE THIS IS A AGREEMENT WITH THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT. THEY ARE PROVIDING THIS WITH DIFFERENT AGREEMENTS AND THAT WILL MAYBE BE THE NEXT MEETING TO BRING THAT TO THE COURT TO APPROVAL. THAT IS WHAT THEY REQUEST NOW FROM THE CITY. BASICALLY , SO FOR THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT WE WILL DO THE 2.3 MILLION. THE TW 3 MILLION THEY CONTINUED THE LAST YEAR, THE HEALTH DEPARTMEN CONTROL INCLUDING THE STAFF BUILDING, WHICH IS THE 273,000, THE MOBILE CLINIC WHICH IS THE 40,000. >> IS ANY OF THIS ADDITIONAL COST FROM WHAT THEY WERE PAYING LAST YEAR? >> NO. >> 10,000'S. >> IT IS 10,000 FOR THE MOBILE CLINIC WHICH WAS INCLUDED IN THE LAST CONTRACT. IT IS 10,000 ADDITIONAL TO THIS REQUEST. >> I THINK THIS IS INCUMBENT UPON US AS WE GO INTO WHAT I BELIEVE WOULD BE A DIFFICULT BUDGET FOR MANY REASONS THAT WE MAKE SURE WE ARE NOT ASKING FO ADDITIONAL FUNDS BECAUSE THEY WILL HAVE A HARD BUDGET AND WE WILL HAVE A HARD BUDGET PROJECTED WITH DIFFICULT TIMES I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR ANY ADDITIONAL FUNDS RIGHT NOW BECAUSE I THINK THEY WILL HAVE A HARD TIME. BASED O WHAT THIS BUDGET COULD LOOK LIK COMING FORWARD, THAT IS A LITTL FORESHADOWING. IF YOU ARE TELLING ME THERE IS NOTHING BELOW THAT, THE 1.765 FOUR A 5% INCREASE, WHAT IS THAT? >> THAT IS COMING FROM THE CITY THAT'S PART OF THE EXPENSES AN THEY WILL BE COVERED. CORRECT. IS NO BACKUP WITH THIS. WE ARE DOING THIS KIND OF ON-THE-FLY SO WE CAN GET BACK UP INTO THE AGENDA AND THAT CAN BE HELPFUL THIS IS NOT LABELED. 1.765 . >> THAT IS PART OF THE 2 MILLIO IF THEY AGREE THE NEXT MEETING WITH HEALTH DEPARTMENT EXPENSES. . >> THE CITY DISTRICT HAS GIVEN US $2 MILLION OR THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT $2 MILLION. >> THIS IS WITH CORRECT. >> WEEKEND THE TO THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT. THE 1.7 MILLION IS NOW GOING UP TO 1.8 WHICH IS WITHIN THE 2 MILLION , IS THAT WHAT THAT INSANE? >> THAT IS CORRECT. >> THEY ARE STILL ALLOCATING 2 MILLION EVEN THOUGH WE ONLY NEE 1.853. >> THE 1.8 MILLION IS THE HEALT DEPARTMENT BUT ALSO VECTOR CONTROL. THE DIFFERENCE OF THE 1.8 MILLION THAT WE WILL HAVE WITH THE CITY WILL BE THE DIFFERENCE , 147,000 , THAT IS TO COVER THE VECTOR CONTROL [01:25:03] EXPENSES. THIS IS NOTHING IN ADDITION TO THE TWO DEPARTMENTS THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND VECTO CONTROL. I PUT THIS TOGETHER? TODAY. >> THIS WAS AND POSTED ONLINE . I'M VERY CONCERNED THAT WE DON'T WANT TO REVERT BACK TO WHAT WE WERE DOING BEFORE AND THIS IS NOT UNDERSTANDABLE IN WRITING AT ALL. I THINK I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE SAYING. I'M NOT SURE. THIS IS NOT GOOD. THIS IS NOT BACKUP. >> I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU , BUT THE JUDGE WAS IN THE MEETIN AND WE WENT THROUGH EACH NUMBER, THE 273, THE 40,000 AND THOSE NUMBERS CAME FROM THE BUDGET THAT ALLOCATES THE HEALT AT THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT. >> I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS. THI ISN'T EXPLANATORY TO ME. >> I WILL GIVE YOU A BETTER DOCUMENT FOR THE COURT . EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE INCLUDED FOR THE BOARD FOR THE NEXT MEETING. >> DO WE HAVE TO DO THIS TODAY >> THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT BOARD MEETING IS ON THE 26TH. WE WILL MEET AT THAT MEETING. >> DID YOU WANT A BETTER DOCUMENT?

I UNDERSTAND IT VERY CLEARLY. IF WE ARE COMMITTED T A $2 MILLION , THAT CAN BE MOVE OVER WITH $2 MILLION REMAINING WITH THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT OVER THERE . I THINK RIGHT NOW IT INCLUDES , WHAT IS IT? >> VECTOR CONTROL. >> TAKING OVER THE TWO POSITION WITH THEM , SO I DON'T SEE AN ISSUE WITH THIS. >> I UNDERSTAND THAT HE DOESN'T WANT TO PULL. >> THIS DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE >> DO THEY PAY ON THIS? DO WE GIVE AN INVOICE, OR DO THEY PAY WHAT WE ACTUALLY GET? >> LET'S SEE, THE TOTAL WILL B 2.3 MILLION, THAT'S THE CAP. THEN, THEY WILL RECEIVE AN INVOICE FROM US, THEY WILL SEND THIS AS A PROCESS. >> THEY PAY AND WE INVOICE. >> I'M WORRIED ABOUT ALL OF OU BUDGETS MOVING FORWARD INTO THE NEXT YEAR. >> I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE FORWARD ON THIS BUT I THINK WHENEVER YO GAVE TO COMMISSIONER GONZALEZ AND TO THE JUDGE , MIGHT BE HELPFUL IF YOU PUT THAT INTO A EXPLANATION. I AGREE WITH COMMISSIONER CHESNEY , I JUST WANT TO PULL OFF UNTIL WE GET BETTER BACKUP. I DON'T THINK I WILL BE A ISSUE FOR ME. I JUST WANT THE PUBLIC TO BE ABLE TO REVIEW THIS AS WELL AND I SHOULD BE GOOD WITH THAT. I WILL BE VOTING AGAINST IT NOT BECAUSE I THINK THIS IS WRONG, BUT I WANT TO SEE THIS BETTER. >> SCOTT, JUST FOR FUTURE, WHE YOU MAKE MOTIONS, PLEASE PUT THE DOLLAR AMOUNT SAYING THAT WE WILL REQUEST FUNDS AND THERE IS NOT A DOLLAR AMOUNT THAT WA WE CAN PUT THAT INTO THE [01:30:03] MINUTES. >> THE AMOUNT IS 2,313,000 .

WE DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM HAD ANYBODY OR EVERYBODY GIVEN THE SAME OPPORTUNITY THAT YOU ONLY GAVE FEW MEMBERS OF THE COURT. >> LET ME BE CLEAR, WE HAD A MEETING WITH JOHNNY, HE DID NOT GIVE ME AN UPDATE. I MET WITH HIM PERSONALLY. >> WITH JOHNNY OR WHOEVER , THE RESPONSIBILITY TO GET THE INFORMATION TO US. >> AGREED. >> VERY UNFORTUNATE THAT WE ARE APPROVING AN ITEM THAT ONLY HA SELECT MEMBERS OF THIS COURT RECEIVED AND WE CANNOT HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SUPPORT IT BECAUSE WE DID NOT GET THE INFORMATION TO US. I THINK THAT IS A VERY BAD POLICY AND PRESIDENT TO HAVE, NO MATTER WHO IT IS PUSHING IT WILL RIGHT OR WRONG. >> WHEN YOU DO THE FIXING OF THE DOCUMENT, WILL IT REFLECT THE SAME AMOUNT? >> IT IS THE SAME DOLLAR AMOUNT, COMMISSIONER. >> LET THE RECORD REFLECT WE GO THIS WITH THE AGENDA ITEM THAT WAS PRESENTED TO US, WHICH IS AGAINST COURT POLICY. IT WAS NOT IN OUR BACK UP AND IT WAS NOT POSTED ONLINE. >> CAN I CHANGE MY VOTE? I DO AGREE WITH THAT . CAN WE DO THA THIS LATE OR IS THAT ALREADY DONE? I WOULD LIKE TO RECONSIDER.

ARE YOU GOING TO TALK ABOUT 286? >> YES, THIS IS FOR $525,622.27. THIS IS A RIGHT-OF-WAY REQUEST FROM TXDO AND WE HAVE FUNDING , PARTIAL FUNDING. >> WE CAN PAY THIS OUT IN FIVE YEARS AND WE DO NOT BUDGET FOR THIS ANY LONGER. I WAS NOT AWARE OF THIS UNTIL I RECEIVED INVOICE FROM TXDOT THAT WE HAD TO PAY IT . IN THE FUTURE, I THINK WE MIGHT CONSIDER BUDGETING FOR THIS SINCE OUR BALANCE IN THAT FUND IS NOT ENOUGH TO COVER THIS. WE HAVE THE FIRST THREE YEARS COVERED WITH THE BALANCE IN THAT AMOUNT BUT YEARS FOUR AND FIVE, WE WIL HAVE TO REPLENISH AND COME UP WITH THE FUNDING FOR THAT. >> JUST EXPLAINED THIS TO ME A LITTLE BIT, I READ THIS, TELL M HOW THIS WORKS AGAIN. >> WORKS WILL . THESE ARE IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE SH286 AND TXDOT WAS AWAY FROM THE ENTITIES OR CONSTITUENTS , THIS IS PART OF THE REQUIREMENTS THA WE HAVE FUNDING TO SUPPORT TXDOT FOR SOME OF THESE IMPROVEMENTS , SO THESE IMPROVEMENTS ARE FROM SH286 FROM 18 TO FM 70 . WE ARE REQUIRED TO ASSIST. >> THEY DON'T CONSULT WITH US O ANYTHING, THEY JUST SEND US AN INVOICE? >> YES MA'AM. I THINK THAT WAS LIKE 917,000 AND WE HAD THE MONEY IN OUR RIGHT-OF-WAY FUNDS . >> DO WE STILL PUT MONEY IN TH RIGHT-OF-WAY FUNDS? I WAS TOLD THAT WE DON'T AND WE NEED TO START AGAIN. >> YES MA'AM. FYI, I GOT ANOTHE CALL FROM TXDOT AND THEY WILL DO IMPROVEMENTS FROM COUNTY ROAD 70 FROM STATE HIGHWAY 286 ALL THE WAY TO DRISCOLL AND THAT WILL BE ANOTHER REQUEST THEY WILL COME BACK ON. >> HOW DOES THAT WORK ? LIKE ANOTHER REFUNDED MANDATE FROM THE STATE? THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO TELL US WHAT WE HAVE TO DO AND YOU HAVE TO PAY WITHOUT ANY CONTEST? >> PROBABLY, BUT WE CAN LOOK. >> I WOULD LIKE TO LOOK AT THAT BECAUSE I DON'T OPPOSE THE WORK I POSE THE WE ARE FIXING TO BILL YOU $500,000 AND ANOTHER 500 COMING AND IT IS NOT LIKE W JUST HAVE THAT SITTING AROUND. WE MIGHT NEED TO INCREASE THE BUDGET WITH THE RIGHT-OF-WAY BUT I WOULD LIKE ANOTHER WALL O THAT. HOW CAN THEY GET TO JUST TELL US THIS WITHOUT US HAVING ANY INPUT OR SAY AND WE HAVE T TRUST THAT THEIR NUMBER IS RIGH BECAUSE I GUARANTEE WE CAN GET THIS DONE CHEAPER THAN THE STATE. THEIR MARKUPS ARE RIDICULOUS AND THEIR CONTRACTOR ARE CHARGING OUT THE YOU KNOW WHAT . I THINK OUR CONTRACTORS ARE BETTER HERE AND CHARGE LESS US 6.4% OF THE TOTAL BECAUSE W ARE NOT CONSIDERED A BE COUNTY NORMALLY THEY CHARGE OTHERS 10% AND IF THEY DO NOT USE ALL OF THE FUNDS, THEN WE DO GET THAT REFUNDED. >> I THINK THE COURT NEEDS A REVIEW ON HOW ALL OF THIS WORKS SHOCKED WHEN WE GOT THE INVOICE AND THEY SAID WE HAD TO PAY THAT. >> I'M NERVOUS ABOUT EVERYTHING I DON'T KNOW WITH THIS UPCOMING BUDGET. WE NEED TO LOOK AT ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING WEEKEND TO SAVE MONEY BECAUSE IT IS GOING TO BE BAD. >> I HAVE A MOTION TO PASS. I WILL MAKE A MOTION TO PASS AND DO THE FIVE YEAR PAYOUT.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? >> I KNOW WE HAVE BEEN DOING THESE FOR QUITE SOME YEARS, I KNOW THAT IS A BENEFIT TO THE BOWL WEEVIL ASSOCIATION. AS A RENTER, YOU DON'T HAVE TO PUT CONCERNS OR EFFORTS INTO THE CAPABILITY AND I KNOW WE HAVE HAD REQUESTS APPROVING THIS, THERE HAVE BEEN REQUESTS FOR THAT, I JUST WONDER AT WHAT POINT, OR AT SOME POINT SHOULD WE CONSIDER IN THE FUTURE, I WILL NOT SAY TO DO THAT TODAY BUT MAYBE FOR US TO PLAN LONG-TERM BUT MAYBE CREATING CONTRACT THAT WE CAN SELL TO THEM , SOMETHING THAT IS REASONABLE TO THEM OFF OF OUR HANDS BECAUSE THIS IS TRULY A ASSET , OR IS THIS BECOMING MORE? I KNOW THE WORK IS BENEFICIAL AND I KNOW THE ATTENDANT KNOWS BECAUSE IT IS A PLACE BEHIND THE BARN, BUT AT SOME POINT, SHOULD WE CONSIDER SELLING OFF THIS PROPERTY TO THEM AT A REASONABLE FEAR MARKET PRICE THAT WILL TAKE THIS OFF OF OUR HANDS AS WELL. I'M ASKING THIS TO PUT INTO ACTION SO YOU CAN HEAR THIS ALLOWED PUBLICLY SO WHEN WE DO COME AGAIN FOR ANOTHER CONTRAC REMOVAL THAT WE CAN START PLANNING THE WEEKS AND MONTHS AHEAD WITH THE FEASIBILITY, DOE THAT MAKE SENSE ? IF IT DOES NOT, THEN THAT'S FINE. THEY AR GREAT TENANTS, $4100 A MONTH IS HELPFUL TO THE COUNTY BUT WITH THE SHORT-TERM, WE LOOK TO SEL THAT IMMEDIATELY, WE CAN GET THE INFUSION OF CASH TO THE BUDGET. DOES THE MONTHLY AMOUN WITH THE AGREEMENT AMOUNT PA FOR ITSELF ? DOES IT PAY FOR ITSELF ? THAT IS MY CONCERN WIT THAT. I MAKE A MOTION TO SUPPORT THIS CONTRACT , BUT JUST FOR FUTURE DISCUSSION, THANK YOU. >> WE ALREADY HAD A MOTION AND SECOND . ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? YES, COMMISSIONER. >> I GUESS IT IS BETTER SELLING THE BUILDING AND GETTING RID OF IT. I'M NOT SUR THE MONEY WE MAKE IN THERE, WHERE DOES IT GO ? IT GOES BACK TO THE BUILDING TO OASIS COUNT FOR THE BUILDING ITSELF , OR W GIVE THEM EVERY YEAR $100,000. HOW WILL WE GET THE MONEY THAT WILL MAKE IT FROM THAT RENTAL? WE ARE NOT EVEN LOOKING AT IT TO MAKE THE MONEY . MAYBE YOU MIGHT WANT TO LOOK INTO IT . MAYBE THERE IS A SOLUTION . I THINK IT IS WORTHWHILE TO LOOK AT. I'M CONCERNED MOSTLY ABOUT THE MONEY WITH 40 AND $50,000 . WHERE DOES THE MONEY GO TO? CAN YOU IDENTIFY THAT ? BUILDIN FUNDS ? ANYWAY, THAT IS JUST MY THING TO IDENTIFY THE MONE WITH WHERE IT GOES , WE ARE NOT BENEFITED BY IT. IT IS GOING T THE BUILDING. THAT IS A GOOD POINT TO LOOK INTO THAT AND JUST DO WHAT WE NEED TO DO. [01:45:08] >> IT IS A THREE-YEAR TERM, WE COULD START THREE YEARS FROM NO AND IT COULD TAKE ABOUT A YEAR TO HAVE DISCUSSIONS AND CHECK THE FEASIBILITY. THAT IS SOMETHING I WOULD BE WILLING TO DO WITH WHATEVER ELSE NEEDS TO BE INCLUDED BEGINNING MAY 2025 JUST TO GIVE US A YEAR OUT. >> IS THERE ANYTHING IN THE CONTRACT THAT PRECLUDES US FRO SELLING THIS? PEOPLE SELL RENTA PROPERTY ALL THE TIME. IS THER SOMETHING THAT SAYS WE CANNOT SELL IT? >> WITHIN THE CONTRACT , I CAN FIND OUT BEFORE TOO LONG. >> I'M NOT SAYING THAT IS WHAT WE WILL DO IMMEDIATELY, I THINK MOVING AHEAD WITH YOUR EVALUATION OR STUDY ON THE BENEFITS, I DON'T THINK WE HAVE TO WAIT THAT LONG TO SEE. IF THAT IS NOT BENEFICIAL, I THINK THERE IS SOMETHING. WHO KNOWS, THEY MIGHT BE INTERESTED BY IT. WITH US TO SEE HOW THAT'S BEIN SPENT? >> YES.

AS PART OF THIS CONTINGENT AGREEMENT, WE WILL BE OUT THERE, IF APPROVED BY THE COURT , TO LOOK AT THE ELEVATIONS ONCE THE COURTS ARE INSTALLED AND WE WILL RECOMMEND TO THE COURT TO ACCEPT THE ROAD TO OUR MAINTENANCE . >> ON THIS ONE, THE COURTS ON VACATION, COUNTY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE RECOMMENDED WE DON'T DO THIS CONTINGENT, WHICH I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY, SO I NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHY. WHAT I NEED TO MAKE SURE IS LET THE NEIGHBORHOOD KNOW THAT THE COURTS CONTINGENT WOULD BE TO D THAT BECAUSE THEY ARE DOING THESE COVERTS AND SPENDING THE MONEY ON THESE COVERTS BASED O OUR REPRESENTATION THAT IF WE D THAT , ASSUMING APPROVED, THAT WE WOULD ACCEPT THE ROADS. WE ARE A LITTLE BIT STICKY HERE IN A SENSE THAT I CANNOT SPEAK FO THE COURT AND SO THE COURT WOULD HAVE TO VOTE ON THAT AND DON'T WANT TO MISREPRESENT TO THEM THAT IF THEY DO THESE COVERTS THAT WE WILL ACCEPT, THAT WILL BE JUAN'S RECOMMENDATION AND THAT WILL BE MY ASK , BUT I WOULDN'T WANT THEM TO PUT IN THE IS AND THE COURT, BACK TO SAY WE ARE JUST KIDDING. MY THOUGHT WAS TO DO THIS AS A CONTINGENCY BUT I'M NOT SURE WHY BUT I CANNOT RESPOND TO SAY THAT IS NOT WHAT YOU NEEDED TO DO BECAUSE I'M CERTAINLY WILLING TO LISTEN TO THAT BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE W DON'T ENCOURAGE THESE FOLKS TO DO SOMETHING AND THEN WE DON'T SUPPORT IT. THAT'S THE BOX THI ONE IS IN SO I NEED A LITTLE BI OF HELP. >> CAN I SAY SOMETHING? >> YES . . >> COMMISSIONER, JUST THE RESPONSE, EVERYTHING YOU SAID , I DO NOT AGREE THAT WE CAN ACCEPT THEM AHEAD OF TIME WITH CONTINGENCY AND THEY WILL BUIL TO OUR STANDARDS AND IF THEY ARE NOT TO OUR STANDARDS, THEN WOULD ACCEPT THAT. THIS IS WHER PUBLIC WORKS HAS REALLY GONE. WE CANNOT JUST ACCEPT NOTHING DOWN TO OUR STANDARDS. THERE I A CLAUSE THERE THAT IT WILL B DONE ACCORDING TO COUNTY STANDARDS AND IF IT IS NOT, THE WE COULD ACCEPT THAT. THEY CAN DO THE ROAD BUT IF THAT IS NOT TO OUR STANDARDS, WE COULD ACCEPT IT. JUST BECAUSE THEY WILL NOT ACCEPT THAT , THERE WERE SOME ISSUES I AGREE WITH YOU. GET THAT DONE AHEAD OF TIME BUT WE HAVE [02:05:05] TO HAVE SOMETHING TO COME IN IF YOU WANT AND IT IS NOT ONL THE ROAD WE HAVE TO CONSIDER BUT ALSO WITH DRAINAGE . DRAINAGE IS GOING TO BE IMPROVED AND WE CAN APPROVE THAT UNDERSTANDING. I DO NOT MIND , BUT THEY WILL DO THIS ACCORDING TO OUR STANDARDS AND IMPROVE CONDITIONS. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT TO JUMP IN, JUAN. >> I AGREE, COMMISSIONER. I THINK THE MAIN ITEMS IN THE SUBDIVISION THAT WERE PRIOR A WHILE BACK WAS THERE WERE FOUR COVERTS THAT WERE NOT INSTALLE THAT WERE DESIGNED BY THE ENGINEER AND THOSE ARE THE FOUR CORNERS COVERTS THAT THE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION WILL INSTALL AS PART OF THE ACCEPTANCE OF THE ROADS. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE ROAD WERE INSTALLED PER THE OCCASION DURING THE TIME WITH THE DEVELOPMENT. THE ONLY ITEM WAS THE FOUR COVERTS, 424 INCH COVERTS AND THEY ARE PRETTY MUC TOGETHER AND THAT IS ALL THEY WOULD HAVE TO DO. THAT'S WHAT WE WOULD RECOMMEND. >> THE ORIGINAL ASK LIZ TO DO THIS AS A INITIAL APPROVAL, BU CANNOT GET BACK AND I DO NOT KNOW WHY. I'M NOT SURE I AGREE SO I NEED TO LOOK FOR EXPLANATIONS SO THE COURT HAS FULL DISCLOSURE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY WE CANNOT DO THI BASED ON WHAT COMMISSIONER GONZALEZ AND I AND WHAT JUAN HAVE SAID. >> THE RISK IS IT COULD BE ARGUED THAT IF IT IS A ACCEPTANCE AND THE CONDITION WITHOUT BEING VERY CLEARLY ARTICULATED AND HOPEFULLY WE WOULD ASK FOR A REPORT BACK FRO THE COUNTY ENGINEER THAT IT HAS BEEN DONE SUCCESSFULLY THAT THA BEING BROUGHT BACK TO THE COURT WITH A POSSIBLE VOTE TO SAY IT IS NOW DONE SO THAT THERE IS A END TO IT, IT IS DONE, THERE I NO QUESTION ABOUT IT ANYMORE AND COULD BE BROUGHT BACK TO COURT WITH THE REPORT THAT IT HAS BEEN DONE SUCCESSFULLY. >> IF YOU WOULD GIVE A MOTION THAT WOULD SATISFY YOU BECAUSE I WANT TO MAKE SURE THESE FOLKS KNOW THE COURT IS WANTING TO DO IT EITHER VOTE THAT THEY CAN BUILD THE COVERTS IN GOOD FAITH AS LONG AS THEY BUILD THEM UNDE THE STANDARDS THAT THEY DIG ME. IF YOU WANT TO TRY THAT , YOU CAN RECITE THAT AND I WILL MAKE THAT A MOTION TO CARRY. >> YOU CAN CALL THIS BACK BECAUSE THIS IS BRAND-NEW AND DON'T WANT TO DO THAT ON THE FL AND MAKE A MISTAKE. >> SURE, DO YOU WANT TO COME BACK? >> SURE. >> LIKE I SAID, I THINK WE CAN GET THIS DONE , I JUST DON'T WANT THEM TO DO THIS FIRST. I GET IT THAT THEY ARE DOING THIS AT OUR REQUEST SO THAT WE CAN ACCEPT THIS. . >> DO NOT FORGET TO TAKE THE ROAD AND WE MAINTAIN THE ROAD. >> THAT'S CORRECT. >> WE WILL BRING THAT BACK. [2.

THIS IS ANOTHER AGENDA ITEM WHERE WE DON'T HAVE BACKUP AND THAT IS WHAT THE COUNTY MANAGER IS SPECIFICALLY [02:10:02] RESPONSIBLE FOR. THE JUDGE SETS THE AGENDA BUT THE COUNTY MANAGER MAKES THE BACKUP THERE. THAT IS HOW THIS IS SUPPOSED T WORK AND THIS ISN'T HAPPENING. YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN ON IT AND THIS IS ON YOU AS WELL, BUT SH SHOULD HAVE BEEN ON TO YOU TO SAY WE ARE NOT DOING THIS. SHE SHOULD HAVE SAID WE DON'T HAVE BACKUP, WE CANNOT PUT THIS ONE ON AND THAT WOULD HAVE STOPPED IT, BUT THAT'S NOT HAPPENING AGAIN. >> WE HAVE THE CONSTABLE HERE.

WE WERE TRYING NOT TO SPEED OR BREAK ANY LAWS GETTING HERE BUT THANK YOU ALL FOR HAVING US HERE. I'M PHILIP REMARRIES WITH RAMIREZ ARCHITECTS AND I HAVE JOSEPH, ONE OF OUR PROJECT MANAGERS . H HAS BEEN WORKING WITH THE CONSTABLE. EARLIER THIS YEAR, WE CUT THE RIBBON ON THE CALDERON CLINIC AS WELL. ONE O THE OTHER PROJECTS WE HAD DISCUSSED AS WE WERE LOOKING A THE BUILDING THAT NEED RENOVATION WAS THE CONSTABLE'S OFFICE THAT IS THERE IN THE COL URBAN BUILDING AND TALKING TO THE COMMISSIONER ABOUT THE CONSTABLE THERE. WE BEGAN TO TAKE A LOOK AT THAT. THERE WAS SOME OLD LEAVE OVER LEGACY THINGS IN THAT SPACE. THERE WER HOLDING CELLS FROM WAY BACK WHEN. >> I WENT AND LOOKED. >> THERE WAS LEGACY STUFF THAT MADE THAT SAFE SPACE AND EFFICIENT FOR THE USE OF THE CONSTABLE. JOSEPH MESSED WITH , MET WITH THE CONSTABLE AND TRY TO MAKE SURE THE SPACE COULD BE RENOVATED IN A MORE FUNCTIONAL AND EFFICIENT WAY FOR THE CONSTABLE'S OFFICE. I WILL HAVE HIM TAKE YOU ALL THROUGH THE DEMOLITION PLAN REALLY QUICK AN THE NEW FLOOR PLAN AND EXPLAIN SOME OF THE NEEDS OF THE CONSTABLE AND THEN WE CAN DISCUSS OVERALL BUDGET AND I WILL DISCUSS THAT A LITTLE BIT AFTER. >> DO YOU HAVE THE DEMOLITION PLAN? >> IT IS RIGHT THERE. >> ESSENTIALLY, ALL OF THE AREA WAS DEMOLISHED BEYOND THE SCOPE OF WORK. THE IMPORTANT PARTS ARE GOING TO BE AS YOU WALK IN FROM THE LEFT-HAND SIDE, WE HAV A RECEPTION AREA . WE HAVE A RECEPTION AREA WITH ACCESS WINDOWS THAT WILL GO UP AND TAL TO THE RECEPTIONIST THERE . THE CAN PRESS A BUTTON AND GET TO A SECURE HALLWAY AND TO THE NORTH OF IT, THAT LOOKS LIKE A OLDER PLAN ACTUALLY. THERE WILL BE A MEETING AREA OR TRAINING ROOM A WELL AS OFFICES TO THE RIGHT OF [02:15:03] THAT , THAT WILL BE THE PATROL OFFICERS AS WELL AS CHIEF DEPUTY OFFICE. TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT WILL BE THE CONSTABLE OFFICE IS. TO THE LEFT WILL BE THE BULLPEN FOR THE REST OF THE STAFF. EVIDENCE ROOM IS AT THE TOP RIGHT NEXT TO THE CHIEF'S OFFICE AND THAT WILL BE AN I.T ROOM . >> HOW MANY SQUARE FEET? >> 22,000, 250 . >> THAT'S KIND OF THE BASIS FOR THAT. SORRY, JUDGE. THAT IS TH BASIS OF IT. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF THINGS TO NOTE HERE WITH REGARDS TO THE BUILDING. WE HAV A PROVISION ON THE EXTERIOR RAMP TO MAKE SURE THE OUTDOOR ACCESS TO THE WEST IS A.D.A. ACCESSIBLE AND COMPLIANT WITH THAT REGARD. WE ARE MAKING SUR THESE FACILITIES ARE COMPLIANT SO THERE ARE UPGRADES TO MAKE SURE IT IS ACCESSIBLE FOR ALL O THE RESIDENTS THAT WILL UTILIZE THIS STATE. GENERALLY SPEAKING THIS IS A SMALLER PORTION NEAR THE CALDERON. THE CLINIC WAS ABOUT TWICE THE SIZE. WITH TH PLANNING BEING RECENTLY DONE BUDGETARY -WISE, WE ARE LOOKING AT ABOUT $280-$290,000 FOR THESE RENOVATIONS WE EXPECT TO COME AROUND THE RANGE AND CONSTRUCTION PRICES HAVE SOMEWHAT STABILIZED. I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE SEEING BUT WE HAVE SEEN THEM STABILIZE A LITTLE BIT, SO LABOR IS AN ISSUE BUT MATERIAL PRICES HAVE BEEN MORE STABLE AND WE GOT A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF LONG LEAD ITEMS PRE-AND POST PANDEMI . THINGS ARE NOT BACK TO NORMAL BUT AT LEAST WE KNOW WE HAVE TO ORDER AHEAD OF TIME TO KEEP THINGS ON SCHEDULE. WE START GETTING INVOLVED WITH THE CONTRACTOR PORTION OF THE PROJECT. WE ARE WITHIN THE TARGET RANGE. WE BELIEVE THE PROJECT CAN BE DELIVERED IN TH AVAILABLE FUNDING. WE UNDERSTAND SOMEWHERE IN THE $280,000 RANGE. IT IS MODERNIZING THE SPACE WITH SIMILAR FINISHES AND SIMILAR LOOK TO WHAT YOU SEE AT THE CLINIC SO IT IS MODERNIZING THE SPACE WITH L.E.D. LIGHTING AND GETTING THE SPACE MODERNIZED , EVEN THOUGH THE FUNCTIONS ARE DIFFERENT BUT THE LOOK AND FEEL WILL BE SIMILAR TO WHAT YOU SEE, WHICH IS NICE AND CLEAN, I IS NOT OVERLY DONE, IT IS FUNCTIONAL AND CLEAN. IT IS A GOOD OPERATING SPACE FOR THOSE INDIVIDUALS WORKING IN THE CONSTABLE'S OFFICE TO HAVE A PLACE TO WORK AND MAKE THAT ACCESSIBLE TO THE CONSTITUENTS. UNLESS I HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS- >> I THINK THIS IS A GREAT PLAN. AS I SAID, I WAS OVER THERE AND GOT TAKEN THROUGH THERE TO SEE THIS. IT IS A SMAL SPACE BUT THEY ARE UTILIZING EVERYTHING THEY CAN OUT OF IT. LOT OF THE AREA IN THE BACK THE ARE OPENING UP, I GUESS BASICALLY WHAT IT WAS OR SOMETHING. >> THEY MADE THAT WORK AS BEST AS THEY COULD. >> THAT WILL DEFINITELY BE AN IMPROVEMENT. >> ANY OTHER THINGS YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT? >> NO, I THINK THIS IS A GOOD START FOR US. BY THE NEXT MEETING, WE CAN HAVE THE FINANCES PUT TOGETHER FOR THE COURT TO REVIEW. I KNOW THAT TERESA HAS BEEN HELPFUL IN HELPING US LOCATE WHAT FUNDING SOURCE TO USE. THAT WILL BE BEFORE THE COURT'S APPROVAL. THAT WILL BE THE 21ST. >> PHILIP, I BROUGHT THIS UP, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WERE PART OF THE CONVERSATION OR NOT, I KNOW I MENTIONED THIS TO JUAN, BUT ON THE JP SIDE, SO ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WALL, THERE IS A STORAGE ROOM THERE. I THINK I MENTIONED THAT AS FAR AS THE REQUEST WAS THIS FIRE SAFE ROO FOR SOME OF THE RECORDS. THEIR RECORDS, AT ONE POINT, COULD OR SHOULD GET TO THE POSITION OF THE CLERK, I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS THE JP'S CONTROL OR THE TIMEFRAME , BUT THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME WAY OF SECURING THAT AN SIMPLE DRAWERS AND STORAGE, THERE MIGHT BE FIRE BOXES BUT THE ROOM ITSELF IS NOT INTO TH OFFICE. IT IS LIKE PART OF A CLOSET WHERE YOU WALK IN. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT HAS BEEN PAR OF THE DISCUSSION OR NOT BUT IF WE CAN LOOK AT INCLUDING THAT INTO THIS PLAN BECAUSE IT IS PROBABLY CHEAPER TO GET YOU ON THAT . >> YES SIR. I KNOW I HAD ROCKY WORKING ON THIS. . [02:20:07] >> THANK YOU. APPRECIATE THAT. >> MY QUESTION IS IF YOU HAVE THE UPGRADE TO INCLUDE THE OFFICE FROM THE UPGRADE TO MATCH EVERYTHING ELSE THAT YOU WILL TOUCH BECAUSE AT ONE POIN , UP TO A.D.A. STANDARDS , SO I'M SAYING WAS THIS RENOVATION TOUCHED BY THEN JPS OFFICE BY ANY CHANCE? >> FIRST OF ALL, GOOD TO SEE YOU. HOPE YOUR RECOVERY IS GOING WELL BUT WE HAVE NOT BEEN TASKED WITH THAT RIGHT NOW. IF THAT IS SOMETHING WE NEED TO LOOK AT, WE ARE OPEN TO LOOKING AT THAT AND WE ARE HAPPY TO HEL THERE ARE ASPECTS IN THE BUILDING FAMILIAR WITH THE SYSTEMS BUT WE ARE NOT CURRENTL DOING THAT. JUAN, IF YOU GUYS SO CHOOSE , THEY WOULD BE HAPPY TO HAVE THAT FROM THE COMMISSIONER. >> THANK YOU. >> UNLESS THERE ARE OTHER QUESTIONS, THAT WAS THE END OF OUR PRESENTATION. >> DO YOU WANT TO MAKE A TABLE TO MOTION TO BRING THIS BACK ON THE 21ST? >> MOTION TO CONSIDER APPROVING THE FUNDING SOURCES AND AUTHORIZED PUBLIC WORKS TO HAVE BIDS AND TABLE THAT TO TH JUNE 21ST MEETING. >> SECOND. >> WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECON TO BRING THIS BACK TO THE 21ST ALL OF THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

WE ARE RECOMMENDING THAT JEN COMMISSIONER. >> SO MOVED . >> SECOND IN DISCUSSION IF THA IS OKAY, JUDGE. >> YES. >> THERE WAS A STORY ON CHANNEL 3 LAST NIGHT, I APPRECIATE THE PICKED THAT UP, MAYBE 1006, I CANNOT REMEMBER, BUT I THINK THIS IS AN OUTSTANDING CONTRIBUTION TO OUR COMMUNITY AND NEEDS TO BE RECOGNIZED AS SUCH. MANY COMPANIES COME INTO THE COMMUNITY OVERPROMISED AND UNDER DELIVERED AND TODAY, TESLA HAS DONE THE OPPOSITE. THEY HAVE NOT ASKED THE COUNTY FOR ANY TAX PAYMENTS. THEY MOVED FORWARD WITHOUT IT. I THINK THE COURT WOULD HAVE GIVE THEM SOMETHING, I CERTAINLY WOULD HAVE, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, THE FACT THEY DID NOT ASK IS GIVE NUMBER ONE, BEING HERE IS GIVE NUMBER TWO AND GIVE NUMBER TWO IS THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT THING THEY ARE DOIN , SPENDING ALMOST $3.8 MILLION TO FIX OUR COUNTY , WHICH WE DON'T HAVE BOTTOM LINE. THE FACT THEY ARE DOING THIS SHOWS YET AGAIN HOW COMMITTED THEY AR TO NUECES COUNTY AND THAT PART OF OUR COUNTY AND I DON'T REPRESENT THAT PART OF THE COUNTY BUT WE ALL REPRESENT THA PART OF THE COUNTY IN ONE WAY SHAPE OR FORM. I'M APPRECIATIV OF TESLA STEPPING UP AND DOING THIS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. I WISH COMMISSIONER MAREZ - >> CAN I SAY SOMETHING? >> YES PLEASE. >> ON BEHALF OF COMMISSIONER CHESNEY , WHEN I SPOKE TO KARE , WHEN I SPOKE TO THEM , WITH THAT CONCERN THAT THIS WOULD B A WIN-WIN SITUATION FOR BOTH O US BUT NOW BECAME A WIN FOR OASIS COUNTY. I REALLY WANT TO THANK KAREN AND HER TEAM FOR MOVING FORWARD AND MAKING THIS HAPPEN. I KNOW THE ENGINEERS HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THIS ALSO , BUT I WANTED TO SAY THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT BIGGER THINGS AND HOPEFULLY WITH TESL DOWN THE ROAD, WE WILL CONTINUE TO GROW . I KNOW YOU WERE THERE THIS IS JUST THE START AND THE BEGINNING AND THIS IS SOMETHIN WE HAVE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO FOR A LONG TIME. I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU AGAIN TO TESLA AND THE COUNTY AND NUECES COUNTY , BUT THEY ARE COMMITTED AND THAT IS WHAT COUNTS. WE APPRECIATE THAT. >> ABSOLUTELY. COMMISSIONER MAREZ, DID YOU WANT TO SAY ANYTHING? >> THANK YOU, JUDGE. ANYTIME WE CAN GET ANYONE TO HELP DONATE THE IMPROVEMENT OF ROADS IN NUECES COUNTY, THAT IS A GREAT THING. THAT HELPS US OUT. WE AR LIMITED WITH OUR BUDGET. THEY WILL PUT A LOT OF HEAVY LOADS T THAT ROAD, SO THEY NEED TO CONTRIBUTE MORE THAN THIS, BUT THIS IS WHAT WE ASK ABOUT CORPORATE PARTNERS CONTRIBUTIN TO THE COMMUNITY, SOMETHING TANGIBLE THAT PEOPLE CAN SEE AND EXPERIENCE, I THINK MIKE TESLA FOR DOING THAT. TODAY WITH DONATIONS PART TWO IS THE NEXT MEETING, OR IS THERE IS A ABANDONMENT PART? >> THE NEXT WILL BE THE ABANDONMENT, CONDITION FOR AND MANAGEMENT COUNTY ROAD 79 AND COUNTY ROAD 18 AND 19. >> THANK YOU FOR WORKING ON THIS. >> YES OR. WE WILL COORDINATE THEM ON THE CONSTRUCTION PART. WE WILL HAVE OUR STAFF OVERSEEING THE CONSTRUCTION PART. >> THANK YOU. >> WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. ALL OF THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. COMMISSIONER GONZALEZ ARE YOU IN AYE? >> I AM. >> THERE IS NO I IN TEAM. [1. Discuss and consider method of procurement RFP (request for proposals) for Jail Diversion Program Services; authorize the Purchasing Agent to publish a notice; and adopt an Order delegating evaluation authority to a selection committee.] >> THE MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. THANK YOU. MOVING ON TO C, PURCHASING, DISCUSS AND CONSIDER METHOD OF [02:30:04] PROCUREMENT RFP (REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS) FOR JAIL DIVERSION PROGRAM SERVICES. AUTHORIZED THE PURCHASING AGENT TO PUBLISH A NOTICE AND ADOPT ORDER DELEGATING EVALUATION AUTHORITY TO A SELECTION COMMITTEE. >> SOME NOTATIONS AND I HAD SOME CONVERSATIONS WITH JOHNNY HAMP IN THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT, WE UNDERSTAND THE SPIN IN THIS JAIL DIVERSION PROGRAM, THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT CURRENTLY ALLOCATES $3 MILLION APPROXIMATELY FOR THIS . IF WE MOVED FORWARD ON THIS, WE GET THESE SERVICES FROM AN HID AND THE COUNTY HAS ALLOCATED FUNDS FROM THAT. IF WE MOVE FORWARD O THIS, I UNDERSTAND WE WOULD NEED TO MAKE A MODIFICATION TO OUR MOU WITH THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT TO INDICATE THE FUNDING PORTION OF THIS AND WE WOULD HAVE A SEPARATE CONTRACT BETWEEN NUECES COUNTY AND WHATEVER SERVICE PROVIDER IF W WERE TO HAVE A BETTER THAT PROVIDED SERVICES THAT THE COUNTY WAS WANTING TO MOVE FORWARD WITH. TODAY, WE ARE ASKING FOR THE COURT'S CONSIDERATION . >> I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE THAT WE MOVE FORWARD. CAN I GET A SECOND AND A DISCUSSION? >> A SECOND FOR DISCUSSION, I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT WE ARE DOING. >> THE REASON I MOVE FORWARD O THIS ONE HERE IS WE HAD ISSUES AND IT WAS THE JAIL. TO ME, I THOUGHT JAIL DIVERGENCE IN THE 24 SEVEN PROGRAM , YOU RECEIVE MAYBE NINE OUT OF 10 COME AFTER 5:00 AND I WANT TO SEE WHAT IS OUT THERE WITH NUECES COUNTY . THE DISTRICT IS OPEN TO SEE WHAT IS OUT THERE. I WOULD LIKE TO THANK JOHNNY HAMP FOR WORKING WITH THE TEAM TO COME UP WITH THE PROCESS OF WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR. THIS WILL GIVE US AN IDEA - THE 100% , BUT WHO KNOWS, WE MIGHT STAY WITH WHAT WE HAVE BUT I WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS OUT THERE AND YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY T DETERMINE WHAT WE HAVE AND MOVING FORWARD WITH SOMEBODY ELSE. WHAT ARE THEY OFFERING ? I THINK THERE IS A LOT OF UNANSWERED QUESTIONS HERE . AS FAR AS MHID , LIKE 10% , AND THINK THE JAIL DIVERSION - NUMBER TWO , A LOT OF MONEY SPENT ON JAIL DIVERSION, I DON'T THINK IT IS BEING UTILIZE TO ITS POTENTIAL. THIS IS WHY I MET WITH THE HOSPITAL DISTRIC TO TALK ABOUT IT. ] I JUST WANT TO MOVE FORWARD TO SEE WHAT ELSE IS OUT THERE FOR THE COUNTY JAIL AND HOW IT WILL BENEFIT OR SERVE THE POPULATION , THAT NEEDS TO BE SERVED 24 SEVEN. >> JOE, I'M TRYING TO, OR EXCUS ME, I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IS THERE A COST ON THIS? WHERE WILL THE FUNDING COME FROM? I'M NOT CLEAR. >> MILLION TO MHID. THE JAIL DIVERSION ONLY . THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE MENTAL HEALTH. THIS I JAIL DIVERSION. THIS IS WHERE THE MONEY WILL COME FROM , MAYB THEY PAY LESS, I DON'T KNOW, W JUST DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS OUT THERE. WE DON'T KNOW WHAT UNTIL WE PUT THAT OUT THERE AND SEE WHAT THE RESPONSE IS. OTHER THA [02:35:02] THAT , WE WILL WONDER WHAT IS GOING ON AND WE DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS BETTER OR WORSE. I THINK MHID , THEY NEED TO TELL US HOW THEY WILL IMPROVE THE PROGRAM. I AM NOT TOO MUCH PERCENTAGES, I AM MORE NUMBERS GIVE ME A NUMBER AND I WILL TELL YOU IF THAT IS A GOOD THING. SOMETIMES WITH PERCENTAGES, IT IS NOT SPEAKIN TO ME, BUT WE NEED TO DO NUMBERS. I'M SORRY, COMMISSIONER AND BOARD , BUT THAT IS WHERE THE INVESTMENT FUNDS ARE COMING FROM. >> BASICALLY, THIS IS A REQUEST PROPOSAL TO SEE WHAT IS OUT THERE. THE FUNDING SOURCES, HOSPITAL DISTRICT FUNDING , THI DOES NOT COMMIT US TO DO ANYTHING, THIS COMMITS US TO WHAT ALTERNATIVES MIGHT BE AN WILL THIS BE REPLACING SOMEONE WHO NOW POTENTIALLY IS DOING THIS? I'M NOT SAYING THAT'S A BAD THING, I'M JUST ASKING. >> >> WE ARE SPENDING 4 MILLION ON THE MHID PROGRAM AND WE WILL REPLACE THEM ? >> OF THE 4 MILLION IS FOR THE BUILDING. >> THAT IS FOR OTHER THINGS, TOO. THIS WOULD BE CONTINGENT ON THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT AGREEING TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS, TOO, THIS IS NOT JUST UP TO OUR BUDGETS. >> WE ARE BASICALLY WANTING TO SEE IF THERE IS A BETTER WAY TO DO THINGS, BUT THE JUDGE IS RIGHT. IN THEORY, IT COULD OR COULD NOT, DEPENDING ON WHAT WE GET REPLACED, WHAT MHID DOES? >> I DON'T KNOW. IT COULD. I JUST WANT TO KNOW IF IT CAN. I IT CAN, THEN WHY NOT? >> THEY WOULD SUBMIT A PROPOSAL POTENTIALLY? >> PERHAPS. SOMETHING THEY DO DIFFERENT? >> AND THEN WE HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO DO THIS BECAUSE SINCE THIS IS THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT'S FUNDING PROGRAM, BUT WE RUN THE PROGRAM, SO THAT IS THE AUTHORITY WE ARE DOING THIS UNDER? >> I THINK THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT WITH THE COMMISSIONER 'S APPROVAL FUNDING THIS BECAUSE WE HAVE ASKED HIM TO DO THIS. >> WITH THIS BE BETTER THAN TH HOSPITAL DISTRICT? I'M SORRY. IS THIS ONE OF THE DEALS THAT THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT PAYS US AND WE PAY FOR OR DO THEY PAY MHID DIRECTLY? >> THEY PAY MHID DIRECTLY. >> IS THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT ON BOARD WITH THIS, TOO? IT IS THEIR MONEY OBVIOUSLY. >> THEY HELPED MICHAEL PUT THA TOGETHER. >> I WOULD MAYBE OFFER TO THE COURT IF WE NEED TO HAVE FURTHE DISCUSSION FROM THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT STAFF THAT WE BRING THEM IN TO PROVIDE THE FEEDBACK APPROVAL OF THE HOSPITAL BOARD OF THIS RESOLUTION? JUST TO MAK SURE. >> SURE. >> IT IS THEIR MONEY. >> I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT. >> MAYBE I WOULD SATISFY TO WHAT MICHAEL IS TALKING ABOUT, SO IF WE CAN AMEND THE MOTION AND SECOND TO INCLUDE A CONTINGENT UPON HOSPITAL DISTRICT , NOT MOVING FORWARD UNTIL THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT IMPROVES THIS, OR THE HOSPITAL BOARD APPROVES THIS. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? IN OTHER WORDS, IT WOULD NOT GO OUT UNTIL LATE VOTED ON. THEY HAVE A MEETING THIS MONTH. IF THAT'S THE CASE IF THAT IS OKAY, COMMISSIONER T AMEND THAT AS SUCH. >> WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? HIS PRIORITY AND I SUPPORT IT. I DON'T KNOW AND I DON'T SEE AL OF THE NAMES THAT ARE ON THE ZOOM, BUT SOMEBODY FROM THE [02:40:01] HOSPITAL DISTRICT NEEDS TO BE HERE. I KNOW YOU ARE ADVOCATIN ON BEHALF, BUT SOMETIMES THAT MIGHT HELP. I'M GETTING ALL TH BACKGROUND WE CAN ON THIS. I THINK THAT IS HELPFUL. COMMISSIONER, YOU ARE MORE THAN AN EXPERT ON THIS GROUP AND CLOSE TO THEIR LEADERSHIP, BUT THAT MIGHT BE HELPFUL. >> I BELIEVE JOHNNY WAS TRAVELING TODAY SO HE'S UNABLE TO ATTEND. >> I HAD A MEETING WITH THE OTHER ISSUE AND I THINK WHAT THEY WANT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH DOING , THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT PAYS THE COUNTY AND THE COUNTY PAYS MHID, I THINK THEY WOULD PREFER TO DO EVERYTHING AND DEA WITH THE COUNTY AND WE TAKES OVER SERVICES WHAT WE WANT, WITH THE COMPENSATION THAT JOHNNY AND JOHN HAD AT THE MEETING THE OTHER DAY. THAT WOULD NEED TO BE VERIFIED AND CHECKED. >> WE CAN MAKE THAT DISCUSSION FOR LATER. >> WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. ALL OF THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AND HE OPPOSED SAME SIGN? SORRY, COMMISSIONER GONZALEZ, DID YOU SAY AYE ? >> WI. >> >> SEE, I TOLD YOU THERE IS NO I IN TEAM.

WE PROVIDE THE LINKS FOR ANYONE INTERESTED TO CLICK ON THAT AND MAKE THAT TO THE PUBLIC PURCHASE.COM SITE WHERE THEY CAN SUBMIT INFORMATION AND DOWNLOAD THAT. >> IS THAT ON EVERY BID AND RF AND RFP? >> CORRECT.

YOU DON'T HAV ANYTHING TO DO WITH THAT. THAT IS RIGHT. THAT IS WHY IT WAS NOT. >> I THINK THIS IS A SEPARATIO OF POWERS THING. >> WHO DOES THAT? >> I BELIEVE THE AUDITORS OFFICE. >> THAT'S INCORRECT, IT COMES FROM THE COMMISSIONERS COURT ADMIN. THAT IS FROM THE TREASUR AS WELL. YOU ALL WORK TOGETHER YOU GET THE SPECS AND THEN COMMISSIONERS ADMINISTRATION THAT. >> IS THE POLICY OF PURCHASING - >> I DON'T THINK THAT IS A PURCHASE POLICY? I WOULD HAVE TO DEFER TO LEGAL. >> THAT IS NOT WHAT THIS IS ABOUT. WE WILL DROP THIS . >> IT IS GOOD TO KNOW EVERYTHIN YOU DO IS ONLINE. THAT IS GREAT. >> WE ADVERTISE WITH COLOR TIMES. >> WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WHATEVER THE COUNTY ON WINDOWS THAT THEY FOLLOW THE SAME PROCESS THAT PURCHASING USES T GET OUT BECAUSE THAT DID NOT GET ONTO SOME OF THE INSTITUTIONS. >> WE GOT ONE PHONE CALL. >> I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL AS WELL. >> I WAS NOT SURE IF THAT WAS M OFFICE SINCE I CAME TO MY OFFIC BUT I WAS NOT WORRIED. I'M SORRY? MICHAEL SAT DOWN. HE'S COMING BACK . >> YES, I'M HERE. >> I WANT TO THANK YOU AND YOUR TEAM FOR ALL OF THE WORK. WE APPRECIATE THAT.

IF YOU ARE NOT WALKING AT A BANK OR WALKIN AROUND , BUT JUST TO GET THAT OUT. >> THE APPLICATION ITSELF WOUL BE A PHYSICAL HARD COPY. [1.
