[2. CONSENT AGENDA: The following Agenda Items are of a routine nature, and the Commissioners Court has received supporting materials for consideration. All of these Agenda Items will be passed with one vote without being discussed separately, unless a member of the Commissioners Court or the public requests that a particular Agenda Item be discussed. If so, that Agenda Item will be pulled from the Consent Agenda and discussed as part of the regular Agenda at the appropriate time. One vote will approve the remaining items on the Consent Agenda.]

CONSENT AGENDA. IS THERE ANY ITEMS THAT ANYONE WISHES TO PULL FOR FURTHER DISCUSSION? OTHERWISE, I'LL ACCEPT A MOTION TO PASS IT. SECOND.

WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO PASS A CONSENT AGENDA.

ALL THOSE SAY I IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE. ANY OPPOSED? THE MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. THE REGULAR AGENDA ITEM ONE DISCUSS AND CONSIDER APPROVING AMENDMENTS TO THE CURRENT

[1. Discuss and consider approving amendments to the current insurance policy for County employees, including signing an addendum to include coverage for all Omnipod and Dexcom glucometer devices and sensors, an addendum disallowing coverage for weight loss treatments, and adding a policy limiting high-cost prescription medications; and related matters.]

INSURANCE POLICY FOR COUNTY EMPLOYEES, INCLUDING SIGNING AN ADDENDUM TO INCLUDE COVERAGE FOR OMNI AND DEXCOM GLUCOSE GLUCOMETER DEVICES AND SENSORS. THERE ARE THREE DIFFERENT MOTIONS IN THIS ONE.

THAT WAS NUMBER ONE. NUMBER TWO WOULD BE AN ADDENDUM DISALLOWING COVERAGE FOR WEIGHT LOSS TREATMENTS, AND THE THIRD BEING ADDING A POLICY LIMIT HIGH COST PRESCRIPTION MEDICATIONS TO $35,000 PER 30 DAY SUPPLY. YOUR HONOR. DO YOU WANT TO VOTE ON THESE AS THREE SEPARATE ITEMS? I'M FINE IF WE WANT TO PASS AS ONE. IF YOU WANT TO MOVE FORWARD THAT WAY, OR IF WE PASS SEPARATELY, IT'S LIKE. HOWEVER, YOUR MOTION TO ACCEPT ALL THREE.

SECOND, WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO PASS ALL THREE DIFFERENT ITEMS. DO YOU NEED THOSE REPEATED OR ANYTHING? ARE YOU GOOD WITH THE.

WITH THE ITEMS? YES. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

AYE. AYE. AYE. ANY OPPOSED? THE MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.

AND I'M SORRY I FAILED TO POINT OUT IN THERE.

I BELIEVE THAT THE STUFF WOULD BE EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY.

THAT WAS IN THE BACK UP. NO, THAT WOULD CERTAINLY BE MY SECOND IF THAT WAS COMMISSIONER.

YES. INTENT ON. YES. YES. OKAY. YES. SO. I'M SORRY.

COULD I ASK A QUESTION NUMBER ONE BEFORE WE MOVE? YES. YES. THE ADDENDUM DISALLOWING COVERAGE FOR WEIGHT LOSS TREATMENT.

THAT WILL BE AN ADDENDUM TO OUR INSURANCE POLICY.

YES, FOR PRESCRIPTIONS POLICY AND POLICY LIMITING HIGH COST PRESCRIPTION MEDICATIONS.

WE'RE A $35,000, A LIMIT FOR 30 DAY SUPPLY OF MEDICATION.

OKAY, WHAT ABOUT IN IN THE REALM OF CANCER TREATMENTS? WE HAVE NO ONE. WE HAVE MULTIPLE PEOPLE TAKING CANCER, AND THIS ISN'T ANYWHERE NEAR THAT.

WHAT ARE WE ASKED? THERE IS ALSO AT THE BOTTOM OF ALL OF THIS IS LET ME LOOK IT UP.

SORRY. THERE IS A EXCEPTION AND APPEALS REQUEST THAT ANYBODY CAN PUT IN FOR ANYTHING TO.

YES. BUT WE HAVE NO ONE EVEN CLOSE TO THESE NUMBERS ON CANCER OR ANYTHING RIGHT NOW.

SO IF SOME IF, IF SOMEONE'S PHYSICIAN COMES IN AND SAYS THAT I'M SORRY, I SHOULD HAVE ASKED THESE BEFORE Y'ALL VOTED AND I APOLOGIZE.

[00:05:05]

YEAH, WE'VE ALREADY VOTED, BUT FEEL FREE TO ASK.

STILL, YOU KNOW, IF YOU HAVE TO, BUT. YEAH, EXACTLY.

WELL, IF SOMEONE'S PHYSICIAN COMES IN AND SAYS THAT THEY NEED THIS, THERE'S AN EXCEPTION, JUST LIKE THEY ALREADY CALL, JUST PRETTY MUCH TO VERIFY WHEN THERE'S A HIGH COST POTENTIAL, HIGH COST FOR A SURGERY OR A MEDICATION OR ANYTHING.

THEY NOTIFY THE HR DIRECTOR GETS A NOTIFICATION, AND HE BRINGS IT TO ME BECAUSE I HAD A DISCUSSION WITH MY PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN.

WE WERE JUST TALKING AND HE SAID, THEY'RE FINDING THAT IN ONE OF THE POPULAR DRUGS OZEMPIC I KNOW EVERYBODY'S HEARD OF THAT.

THEY'RE FINDING OUT THAT IT CURES ALL KINDS OF THINGS AND THEY'RE QUITE EXCITED ABOUT THEY'RE EVEN GIVING IT TO PEOPLE FOR DRUG AND ALCOHOL ADDICTIONS. IF YOU'RE THE ONLY THING THIS IS DISALLOWS FOR WEIGHT LOSS TREATMENT.

OKAY. YES OKAY. I'M GOOD. THANK YOU. OKAY. SO WE DON'T NEED TO GO BACK AND REDO THAT OR ANYTHING.

[2. Discuss and consider conditional selection of RXDX, LLC for Precinct 1 ARPA-funded Driscoll Community Center Project (IFB No. 3312-25) in the amount of $398,219.]

NO, MA'AM. OKAY. ITEM NUMBER TWO DISCUSS AND CONSIDER CONDITIONAL SELECTION OF RD, LLC FOR PRECINCT ONE ARPA FUNDED DRISCOLL COMMUNITY CENTER PROJECT AND THE AMOUNT OF $398,219. THIS IS YOURS, COMMISSIONER.

YES, YOUR HONOR. I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THIS.

WE'RE QUITE EXCITED. WE. THIS IS WE HAD TO GO BACK AND DO SOME VALUE ENGINEERING, WHICH BASICALLY WE WE REDUCE THE SIZE OF THE FACILITY A LITTLE BIT AND MAKE THE ROOF LINES A LITTLE SIMPLER.

BUT THIS IS STILL GOING TO BE A VERY NICE FACILITY FOR THE CITY OF DRISCOLL.

AND WE COULDN'T BE HAPPIER WITH THE BIDS BECAUSE THE ORIGINAL BID ON THE ORIGINAL BUILDING THAT WE HAD WERE OVER A MILLION AND A HALF DOLLARS.

SO THE SECOND YOUR MOTION. IF THAT'S YOUR MOTION.

YEAH. MOTION TO APPROVE. MOTION DISCUSSION. CONGRATULATIONS, COMMISSIONER.

THIS IS A GREAT GREAT JOB. I KNOW HOW HARD YOU WORK TO GET THIS IN.

IN A IN A LETTER TO HELP EDWARD AND. YEAH, MICHAEL AND ALL, EVERYBODY WENT TOGETHER AND THE ICE ENGINEERING, AND WE ALL PUT OUR HEADS TOGETHER AND TRY TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO HOW TO GET THIS DONE.

AND SO I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY WELL DONE. YEAH.

YEAH, I WANTED TO GO I WANTED TO THAT WHEN I WENT TO THE FATHER'S DAY BANQUET LAST WEEK IN ROBSTOWN WITH ALL THE CENTERS.

AND THAT WAS A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS THAT I GOT ASKED ABOUT.

WAS THAT PARTICULARLY ABOUT THE DRISKELL CENTER AND TOLD THEM THAT YOU WERE WORKING ON IT AND THEY WERE LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS.

SO I'M GLAD TO SEE THIS ON THE AGENDA AND IT MOVING FORWARD.

AND AND I KNOW THE COMMUNITY WILL APPRECIATE THAT.

AND HAVING REPRESENTED THEM FOR A WHILE, I KNOW THIS IS SOMETHING THEY'VE ALWAYS PUSHED FOR AND THE WAY WE CAN HELP SUPPORT THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY.

AND SO THANKS FOR YOUR HARD WORK AND BRING YOU DOWN THAT PRICE. YEAH.

WELL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, EVERYBODY, I APPRECIATE IT.

WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

AYE AYE. ANY OPPOSED? THE MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.

[3. Discuss and consider selection of International Consulting Engineers, Inc. (ICE); and authorize and approve Work Authorization No.7 for Precinct 2 ARPA funded Engineering Services for Petronila Pond Project and other related matters. ]

MOVING ON TO ITEM THREE. DISCUSS AND CONSIDER SELECTION OF ICE ENGINEERS AND AUTHORIZE AND APPROVE WORK AUTHORIZATION NUMBER SEVEN FOR PRECINCT TWO ARE FOR FUNDED ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR PETRONE UPON PROJECT.

COMMISSIONER GONZALEZ, THIS IS YOURS. WOULD YOU MAKE A MOVE, A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE IT? I KNOW WE HAD A PROBLEM THERE ISSUE FOR A WHILE, BUT EVERYTHING HAS BEEN RESOLVED.

AND, YOU KNOW, GRANT WORKS HAS APPROVED IT, AND I THINK THAT YOU'RE PART OF IT.

JUDGE, I THINK YOU SIGNED PART OF IT TOO, OR SOMETHING.

SO I REALLY APPRECIATE THE HELP AND SECOND MOTION.

THANK YOU. GOOD PROJECT COMMISSIONER. YEAH. GOOD JOB.

YEP. ANOTHER GOOD ONE. GOOD ONE THIS MORNING.

TWO. GOOD JOB. WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE AYE AYE. ANY OPPOSED? THE MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. WE HAVE NO EXECUTIVE SESSION ITEMS. IS THERE ANY ADJOURNMENTS IN MEMORY OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT WE FAILED TO BRING UP? THERE BEING NONE THEN? I WOULD SAY IT IS 113 AND THIS COURT IS ADJOURNED.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
