I'M MOVING ONTO ITEM TWO CONSENT AGENDA.

ARE THERE ANY-- IS THERE ANY ITEM THAT ANYONE WISHES TO PULL FOR FURTHER DISCUSSION? I BELIEVE I NEED TO PULL ITEM C

NUMBER ONE. >> JUDGE I'D LIKE TO PULL L.

L2. YES, MA'AM.

>> ANY OTHERS? NOTHING COMMISSIONER?

NO? >> JUST FOR THE RECORD, YOUR HONOR, UNDER L1CAL ALLEN IS MISSPELLED.

I DON'T KNOW IF WE NEED TO CORRECT THAT.

>> YEAH. MAKE THE MOTION TO PASS THE CONSENT AGENDA EXCLUDEING ITEM C NUMBER ONE AND L NUMBER TWO.

>> SECOND. >> WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. ALL THOSE IN FAVOUR SAY AYE? AYE. ANY OPPOSED?

[C. Authorize payment of bills - Special Motions Regular List dated June 10, 2026.]

THE MOTION PASSES. EWE FAN MOUSILY.

C1 WE HAD IT ON THE LIST TO BE PAID.

THE DEPENDABLE HEATING AND AIR HAS ALREADY BEEN PAID THAT'S THE REASON I PULLED IT. SO IT DOESN'T NEED TO BE PAID TWICE. OKAY.

I DON'T KNOW SINCE WE'RE NOT PAYING IT, THAT IT NEEDS A MOTION OR ANYTHING. JUST LEAVE IT OFF.

[L. Authorize the following Fiscal Year 2025-2026 "Outside Agency" Contracts: 1. Callen Education Foundation - Commissioner Pct. 1 - $1,000 2.

The Rise School of Corpus Christi - Commissioner Pct. 4 - $500 4. Tuloso Midway ISD Education Foundation - Commissioner Pct. 1 - $1,000]

MOVING ONTO ITEM L THEN. L1.

>> JUDGE L2 ACTUALLY I JUST PULLED THAT AND WANTED TO ADD A THOUSAND DOLLARS FROM MY SPECIAL REVENUE FUND TO THE ARTS AND ARTS PROGRAM TOO. SO THAT WOULD.

THE ONLY REASON I PULLED THAT. IF WE COULD AMEND THAT TO SAY $4,000 WITH COMMISSIONER FOR ADDING A THOUSAND.

THAT WOULD BE MY MOTION. >> SO SPECIAL L2.

YES. DO YOU HAVE THAT TERESA.

OKAY I'LL SECOND THAT MOTION THEN.

I GUESS. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOUR SAY AYE? AYE.

ANY OPPOSED? THE MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.

[1. Discuss, consider, and take action on ratification and approval of Amendment No. 1 to the Show Barn Amory Building Lease Agreement with Texas Boll Weevil Eradication Foundation, Inc., extending the Term of the Agreement and increasing the flat monthly rental rate; and related matters.]

MOVING ONTO OUR REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS. ITEM 3A1. DISCUSS CONSIDER TAKE ACTION ON RATIFICATION AND APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT NUMBER 1 TO THE SHOW BARN ARMORY BUILDING LEASE AGREEMENT WITH TEXAS BOLL WEEVIL ERADICATION FOUNDATION EXTENDING THE TERM OF THE AGREEMENT AND INCREASING THE FLAT MONTHLY RENTAL RATE AND RELATED MATTERS. AND I BELIEVE THIS IS, THIS

CONTRACT IS AFFECTED 6/1/26. >> MOTION TO APPROVE.

>> THANK YOU. WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOUR SAY AYE.

[2. Discuss and consider Un-allocating $250,000 Precinct 3 ARPA funds previously obligated for Drainage District #2 Casa Blanca Drainage Improvements and reallocate the funds to Hilltop Community Center ARPA Project; Un-allocate $250,000 Hurricane Harvey funds obligated for 'Hilltop Community Center' to Swap for ARPA funds to Commissioner Pct. 3 unallocated funds & related matters.]

OPPOSED? MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.

ITE TWOM DISCUSS AND CONSIDER UN-ALLOCATING $250,000 PRECINCT 3ARPA FUNDS PREVIOUSLY OBLIGATED FOR DRAINAGE DISTRICT NUMBER TWO CASA BLAN KA DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS AND REALLOCATE THE FUNDS TO HILLTOP COMMUNITY CENTER ARPA PROJECT.

UN-ALLOCATE $250,000 HURRICANE HARVEY FUNDS OBLIGATED FOR HILLTOP COMMUNITY CENTER TO SWAP AND WE HAVE DONE THESE BEFORE IN OUR ARPA PROJECTS WHEN WE WERE CONCERNED ABOUT THE DEADLINE FOR COMPLETION AND STUFF.

THIS IS AND THE FUNDS ARE THERE AND BOTH COMMISSIONER DOING JOB

HAVE DISCUSSED THIS. >> MOTION TO APPROVE.

>> SECOND. >> WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION?

>> NOW JUDGE JUST CLARIFICATION THAT MY PRECINCT I ALLOCATED THIS FUNDING WITH THE COURT'S APPROVAL FOR THIS PROJECT TO HELP THE DRAINAGE PROBLEM IN CASA BLANCA IN ONE OF THE AREAS IN ROB'S TOWN. SO THE DRAINAGE DISTRICT WAS NOT ABLE TO TAKE THE ACTION THAT THEY NEEDED TO GET THIS DONE. AND SO WE WANTED TO JUST PUT EVERYONE ON NOTICE BECAUSE THIS IS AN IMPORTANT PROJECT TO ME AND TO US. AND SO WHEN WE TALK ABOUT DRAINAGE AND FLOODING WHICH WE ALL AS COMMISSIONERS BEEN DEALING WITH. ESPECIALLY LATELY WITH THE

[00:40:01]

FLOODING PROBLEMS THAT WE'VE HAD, THIS IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT WE HAVE TRIED. BUT THIS MONEY WILL-- IT'S STILL GOING TO BE IN MY ALLOCATIONS AND I CAN DISTRIBUTE WITH THE COURT APPROVAL.

AND I'M STILL GOING TO LOOK AT USING THIS INFORMATION, I'M SORRY THIS FUNDING TO HELP FIND OTHER SOLUTIONS TO OUR FLOODING PROBLEMS IN PRECINCT THREE. SO EVEN THOUGH IT'S NOT GOING TO GO IN THE SAME CATEGORY AS WORKING UNDER DRAINAGE DISTRICT TWO, WE'RE STILL GOING TO BE ABLE TO USE THAT FOR FLOODING IN THE FUTURE. SO I'M VERY SENSITIVE TO THAT.

I THINK WE ALL ARE. AND ONE THING JUAN PI MEANTAL AND HIS TEAM IN PUBLIC WORKS HAVE BEEN RUNNING AROUND LATELY TO GET ALL OF OUR PROBLEM AREAS ADDRESSED AND CLEANED OUT.

AND THEY'VE BEEN DOING AN EXCELLENT JOB AND HAD AS MUCH AS WE HAVE PEOPLE ON SOCIAL MEDIA THAT WANT TO CALL OUT WHEN THERE'S AN ISSUE, THANK YOU FOR SHARING THAT.

THEY HAD DEFINITELY APPRECIATED THE WORK THAT NUECES COUNTY HAS DONE AND SO I'VE WANTED TO SHARE THAT AS WELL.

SO DON'T WORRY ANYONE WHO IS WATCHING THIS THINKS THEY ARE LOSING OUT ON FUNDING FOR FLOODING REAL RELIEF.

WE'RE STILL GOING TO ALLOCATE IT JUST IN A DIFFERENT WAY.

AND POTENTIALLY SOME DIFFERENT PROJECTS TO HELP STILL HELP

WITH THE FLOOD MITIGATION. >> AND THAT'S A CONTINUOUS JOB I APPRECIATE YOU POINTING THAT OUT AS WELL.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOUR SAY AYE? AYE.

ANY OPPOSED? THE MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.

[3. Discuss and consider establishing an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Committee and all related matters. ]

THANK YOU. ITEM THREE, DISCUSS AND CONSIDER ESTABLISHING AN AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT ADA COMMITTEE AND RELATED MATTERS.

THIS WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION BY RISK MANAGEMENT.

THIS IS PART OF THE ADA REQUIREMENTS TO STAY IN COMPLIANCE WITH SOMETHING THAT STARTED MANY YEARS BEFORE ME.

A COUPLE OF JUDGES THAT GO STARTED OUR ADA IMPROVEMENTS THROUGHOUT THE COURTHOUSE. THIS IS JUST ANOTHER STEP THAT WE HAVE TO DO. SO IT IS MY THOUGHTS FOR THE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE TO BE BUT THE COMMISSIONER'S COURT, COUNTY ATTORNEY, COUNTY AU AUDITOR.

THE MEMBERS. AND WE AREN'T LISTING NAMES BECAUSE THOSE PEOPLE CHANGE, POSITIONS MOVE, WE ARE THE ADA COORDINATOR WOULD BE RISK MANAGEMENT MEMBER FROM PUBLIC WORKS. A MEMBER FROM EMBLEM PARKS.

A MEMBER FROM COASTAL PARKS. A MEMBER FROM I. T.

A MEMBER FROM HR. A MEMBER FROM PURCHASING.

AND A MEMBER FROM EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT.

AND THESE ARE ALL LISTED. THERE WERE MANY MORE SUGGESTED IN THE COMPLIANCE BOOK THAT YOU COULD HAVE ON THERE, BUT THESE ARE PEOPLE THAT HAVE DIRECT IMPACT IN WHAT WE HAVE TO DO TO STAY COMPLIANT, YES. DID YOU HAVE A QUESTION I'M

SORRY. >> YES WHENEVER YOU'RE

FINISHED. >> AND THAT'S REALLY JUST WHAT I WANTED TO EXPLAIN ABOUT WHY WE WERE STARTING THIS AND WHY WE CHOSE THE MEMBERS THAT WE DID.

AND THIS WAS THE SUGGESTED AGENCIES THAT NEEDED TO MAKE IMPROVEMENTS OR CONSTANTLY FOLLOW.

THERE'S SOME THINGS THAT WE SHOULD BE DOING THAT WE HAVEN'T BEEN DOING YET. BUT WE'RE AT THAT STAGE WHERE

THIS IS THE NEXT STEP. >> MOTION TO APPROVE.

>> SECOND. >> WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. COMMISSIONER CHESNEY YOU HAD A

QUESTION YOU SAID? >> I DID JUDGE.

JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE. ARE WE APPOINTING? I'M ALL FOR ESTABLISHING THIS, THIS IS GREAT.

ARE WE DOING THAT TODAY? BECAUSE I DON'T-- MY ONLY CONCERN WOULD BE IF YOU APPOINT THE WHOLE COMMISSIONER'S COURT THEN YOU HAVE TO POST IT EVERY TIME.

AND YOU KNOW I DON'T KNOW IF WE--.

>> WE COULD PUT JUST THE SWRUJ AND ONE MEMBER IF YOU ALL PREFER IT THAT WAY. THAT'S FINE WITH ME.

I JUST DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVE ANYONE OUT.

THAT'S A GOOD POINT. >> UNDERSTAND.

BUT THEN YOU HAVE TO POST IT EVERY TIME.

>> OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE IS NOT GOING TO MEET WITH THEM REALLY EVERY TIME. THE OVERSIGHT IS MORE FOR THEM TO BRING QUESTIONS TO OR FINALIZE AND LIT COME TO COMMISSIONER'S COURT FOR APPROVAL ANYWAY IS MORE-- I WASN'T BLOCKING THOSE INTO HAVING TO GO TO THESE MEETINGS

ONCE A MONTH EITHER. >> AND THAT'S WHAT I WAS GETTING CLARIFICATION ON. SO LIKE-- THIS SAYS THAT THE COUNTY JUDGE WOULD APPOINT COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND THAT'S FINE TOO. IT'S JUST A MATTER OF-- HOW-- LIKE HOW IS THAT GOING TO HAPPEN? I KNOW YOU'VE MENTIONED ALL OF THESE.

>> I LIKE IF YOU ARE FINE WITH THAT.

BECAUSE THEN IF WE WANT TO ATTEND, WE CAN AND WE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT POSTING. JUST IF ONE PERSON WANTS TO STEP UP AND TAKE THAT WITH ME, COUNTY JUDGE WILL BE IN THERE.

BUT I DON'T KNOW WHICH ONE OF YOU WANTS TO VOLUNTEER.

I'M HAPPY TO SELECT A COMMISSIONER INSTEAD OF HAVING THAT OPEN FOR THAT EXACT REASON.

YES. >> AND I GUESS THE QUESTION IS DO WE WANT TO DO THAT WITH THE COUNTY PICKS AND COASTAL PARKS BOARD WHERE THEN THE COMMISSIONER'S COURT JUST RATIFIES THAT SELECTION? SOMETHING LIKE THAT?

IS THAT--. >> OKAY I'M LOST.

WHAT ARE WE DOING? >> TALKING ABOUT THE STRUCTURE

[00:45:03]

OF HOW THE COMMITTEE WOULD WORK.

>> IF WE HAVE ALL THE COMMISSIONERS ON THERE HE'S SAYING WE WOULD HAVE TO POST FOR EVERY MEETING.

IF WE SELECT ONE COMMISSIONER WITH THE COUNTY JUDGE, IF WE DID THAT, THEN-- IF WE HAVE MEETINGS AND WE ATTEND, WE DON'T HAVE TO POST. AND ANYTHING THAT GETS INCORPORATED. ANY FINALIZED DOCUMENTS WILL COME BACK TO THE COMMISSIONER'S COURT FOR APPROVAL.

SO DO WE REALLY WANT TO TIE UP EVERYBODY JUST TO MONTHLY MEETINGS? OR IF YOU WANT TO ATTEND, WE

HAVE TO POST? >> GOOD POINT.

I AGREE. >> SO AS LONG AS-- IF THE MAJORITY OF US EXPLAIN THAT WE WANT TO ATTEND THEN IT'S JUST A MATTER OF POETING. AND WE CAN ATTEND.

>> YES FOR THAT MEETING IF YOU DECIDE YOU WANT TO ATTEND.

YES. >> AND THEN I DO WANT TO BRING UP JUDGE-- WHAT'S RELATED TO THIS IS THAT NUECES COUNTY OVER MANY YEARS, HAD TO WORK WITH DOJ ON ADA REQUIREMENTS.

AND SO. >> ABSOLUTELY THIS STARTED WAY

BEFORE US. >> MANY JUDGES AND COURTS AGO.

SO I'M GLAD THAT WE'RE TACKLING THIS ISSUE.

BUT IT'S AN ONGOING ISSUE. SO FOR SOMEONE THAT'S MAYBE NEVER REALIZED OR PAID ATTENTION TO THAT ISSUE PARTICULARLY TO THAT. THAT'S BEEN ONGOING.

WE'VE ADDRESSED I THINK EVERYTHING AT ONE POINT, RIGHT.

>> I THINK WE ARE GOOD. THIS IS JUST THE NEXT STEP IN OUR COMPLIANCE. SO I'M NOT SAYING WE'RE BEHIND ON ANYTHING. IT'S JUST THIS WAS BROUGHT TO OUR ATTENTION. THIS WAS THE NEXT STEP AND WE NEED TO CREATE THIS COMMITTEE TO SET THIS UP.

AND OVERSEE THEIR DEPARTMENTS AND WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE FOR WEBSITES AND THINGS LIKE THAT THAT NEED TO BE UPDATED.

>> AND SO, WERE YOU DONE COMMISSIONER MAREZ SORRY.

WERE YOU DONE? >> GO AHEAD.

>> NO I THOUGHT--. >> I HAVE A QUICK COMMENT.

>> GO AHEAD. >> WELL I JUST ALONG WITH WHAT COMMISSIONER MAREZ WAS SAYING YOU NEVER KNOW HOW IMPORTANT THIS IS UNTIL IT AFFECTS YOU PERSONALLY.

AND THE LAST TWO YEARS OF MY DAD'S LIFE, HE WAS PRETTY MUCH CONFINED TO EITHER A WHEELCHAIR OR A WALKER.

AND YOU BEGIN TO REALLY APPRECIATE THE THINGS THAT ARE DONE TO ALLOW THOSE PEOPLE TO TRAVERSE THE ISSUES THEY HAVE IN A PUBLIC DOMAIN. SO I FOR ONE APPRECIATE THAT WE ARE TAKING THE POSITIVE STEP. AND DOING WHAT WE CAN TO HELP WITH THESE ISSUES. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

>> AND THEN PERTAINING TO COMMISSIONER CHESNEY'S COMMENT, AND I-- OH YOU WANTED TO SPEAK NEXT, I'M SORRY.

I WOULD SAY THAT WE GO AHEAD AND SELECT TOO AND IT JUST BE THIS COURT APPOINTS INSTEAD OF THE COUNTY JUDGE JUST APPOINTING. I'D PREFER IT BE US VOTING ON SOMETHING OR IF SOMEBODY WANTS TO RAISE THEIR HAND AND VOLUNTEER TODAY, I'M HAPPY TO APPOINT THE TWO PEOPLE THAT RAISE OUR HAND FIRST OR WHATEVER.

BUT IT SHOULD BE THE COURT MAYBE THAT APPOINTS THIS.

BEC BECAUSE--.

>> AND I GUESS THE QUESTION IS DO YOU WANT ANY COMMUNITY MEMBERS ON IT? DO WE MAKE THIS LIKE A STANDING COMMITTEE LIKE SOME OF OUR OTHER BOARDS? OR DO YOU WANT THIS TO BE INTERNAL?

>> THIS IS INTERNAL RIGHT NOW. AND THOSE DISCUSSIONS WERE HAD WITH RISK MANAGEMENT. WE CAN ADD THOSE PEOPLE LATER.

WE HAVEN'T STARTED THIS. SO WE WANTED TO START OUT WITH JUST OUR PEOPLE. UNTIL WE GET TO THAT POINT,

YES. >> OKAY.

YEAH I WOULD JUST-- MAKE SURE. >> RISK MANAGEMENT.

TIM EVEREST DID A LOT OF WORK SXONGTH BROUGHT IT TO OUR ATTE ATTENTION.

SO HE WILL BE LEADING THIS COMMITTEE UP, YES.

AND OVERSIGHT THE MEMBERS COMMITTEE HE IS THEIR ADA COORDINATOR. .

>> I MEAN, IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THE SECOND ONE.

SURE SOUNDS LIKE COMMISSIONER PUSLEY MIGHT BE A GREAT ONE WITH HIS HISTORY ON IT. I DON'T WANT TO PUT YOU ON SOMETHING YOU DON'T WANT TO BE ON.

>> NO I'M FINE WITH THAT. >> UNLESS ANYBODY ELSE HAS RAISED THEIR HANDS REALLY QUICK.

>> AND I DON'T WANT TO PUT SOMEBODY ON THE SPOT BUT OBVIOUSLY WITH YOUR HISTORY YOU'D BE A VALUABLE ASSET TO

THAT COMMITTEE. >> THANK YOU.

>> I'D BE HAPPY TO DO IT TOO. >> WELL NO.

THAT WAS A GIVEN RIGHT. COUNTY JUDGE.

SO I WOULD MAKE THE-- I GUESS THE MOTION WOULD BE TO JUST AMEND WHERE IT INDICATES WHERE THE COMMISSIONER'S COURT APPOINTS. AND THEN INSTEAD OF THE ENTIRE COURT, IT WOULD BE COUNTY JUDGE PLUS A COMMISSIONER AND IN THIS CASE IT WOULD BE COMMISSIONER PUSLEY.

THAT WOULD BE MY MOTION. >> OKAY.

I SECOND THAT. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION?

>> YEAH, I THINK JUST TO GO BACK TO A COUPLE OF THINGS ON COMMISSIONER TOO. YOU KNOW, THE FIRST FIVE YEARS WAS TOUGH WITH THE DOJ. YOU KNOW, I MEAN THEY TALK ABOUT-- THE DIFFERENCE HAD TO REDO IT.

I MEAN THEY WERE STICKALERS. I'M SAYING WE HAVE TO GO BACK AND REDO A SIDEWALK BECAUSE MAYBE IT JUST WASN'T AN INCH OR

[00:50:04]

TWO THE RIGHT SLOPE OR WHATEVER IT WAS AND WHY IT WAS THERE AND WE WENT THROUGH ALL THIS. BUT NOW WHENEVER WE DO WHICH IS GOOD, THAT WHENEVER WE DO A PROJECT, IT'S ALREADY STILLED IN OUR MIND AND IN PUBLIC WORKS AND IN PARKS AND OTHER AREAS THAT WHEN WE DO SOMETHING, IT'S ALREADY GOING TO BE ADA

COMPLIANT. >> ABSOLUTELY.

THAT'S OUR PLAN IN MOVING FORWARD, YES.

>> AND I TELL YOU WHAT COMMISSIONERS VERY FIRST FIVE SIX YEARS IT WAS TOUGH. I MEAN WE JUST COULDN'T DO ANYTHING WITHOUT THEM REDOING IT OR DOING SOMETHING.

SO YOU KNOW. I THINK IT WAS A BAD THING BAA GOOD THING SO NOW WE'RE REALLY CONSCIOUS ABOUT ADA.

>> WE'VE CHANGED OUR WAY OF PLANNING AND FUTURE PROJECTS AND STUFF THEY ALWAYS COMPLY, YES.

GREAT POINT. WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOUR SAY AYE? ANY OPPOSED? THE MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.

AND JUST I GUESS TO GO BACK ONE MORE POINT TOO, THIS IS ONE PERSON. THE DIRECTORS OF ALL OF THESE.

THIS ISN'T THE WHOLE PUBLIC WORKS TEAM AND THE PARKS TEAM WHATEVER. LET'S BE CLEAR.

>> JUDGE, I THINK THAT WAS PROBABLY A VOTE ON-- I'M SORRY.

THAT WAS PROBABLY A VOTE ON THE AMENDMENT.

WE PROBABLY STILL NEED TO VOTE ON THE MOTION.

>> OH YES, OKAY. I'LL MAKE THE MOTION TO PASS THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS WITH THE AMENDED.

>> SECOND. >> AND IN ESTABLISHING THE AMERICAN COMMITTEE. AMERICAN DISABILITY ACT

COMMITTEE, RIGHT? >> THAT'S-- TO ESTABLISH THE COMMITTEE AND WITH THE AMEND T COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND TO STAY JUST LET'S GO AHEAD AND ADD THAT INTO THESE DEPARTMENTS.

OR JUST ONE PERSON FROM THAT DEPARTMENT.

THEY ARE NOT THE WHOLE ENTIRE DEPARTMENT.

JUST TO CLARIFY. SORRY.

MOTION AND A SECOND. ALL THOSE IN FAVOUR SAY AYE.

[4. Discuss and consider approval of proposed projects in the total amount of $332,672 to be funded under the Regional Transportation Authority (RTA) Street Improvement Program for 2024, 2025, and 2026; and all related matters.]

ANY POSED. THE MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.

MOVING ONTO ITEM FOUR. DISCUSS AND CONSIDER APPROVAL OF PROPOSED PROJECTS IN THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF $332,672 TO BE FUNDED UNDER THE REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY STREET IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM FOR 2024,2025, AND 2026.

AND TERESA I THINK YOU HAVE THE LIST OF THOSE.

>> SO MOVED JUDGE. >> I SECOND.

>> WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOUR SAY AYE.

ANY OPPOSED? THE MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.

[5. Discuss and consider amending Commissioners Court Policy in regard to Election signage on Nueces County Property and all related matters. ]

MOVING ONTO ITEM NUMBER FIVE. DISCUSS AND CONSIDER AMENDING COMMISSIONER'S COURT POLICY IN REGARD TO ELECTION SIGNAGE ON NUECES COUNTY PROPERTY AND ALL RELATED MATTERS.

AND I WILL TURN THIS OVER TO COMMISSIONER GONZALEZ WE TALKED ABOUT THAT MANY TIMES AND HAD MANY PEOPLE CALL US ABOUT THESE AND WE BOTH FELT LIKE IT NEEDED TO BE DONE AFTER ELECTIONS.

WE HAVE A COUPLE AMENDMENTS TOO WE WANTED TO ADD.

WE HAVE A COUPLE OF CHANGES. >> IF YOU LOOK ON THE-- NOW WHERE THEREFORE-- NUMBER THREE. SAYS THAT THE POLITICAL SIGN MAY BE POSTED NO EARLIER THAN 5 P.M.

THEN AT THE END SAYS LATER THAN 48 HOURS AFTER ELECTION DAY.

REMOVE-- AN ITEM AFTER 48 HOURS.

>> SO NO QUESTION AND PUBLIC WORKS HAS THE AUTHORITY TO PICK THEM UP AND DISPOSE OF THEM. AND THEN PAGE 12 OF 13 IN THE POLICY. NUMBER 10.

ELECTION SIGNAGE. THE ONLY THING TO ADD IS WHERE ELECTION POLLS ARE BEING CONDUCTED.

>> THEY NORMALLY DO THAT. BUT IF YOU LEAVE IT LIKE WE JUST SAID ON THE LAST ONE. WE NEED TO MAKE IT VERY CLEAR.

>> THIS IS BEING COMPLIANT WITH WHAT THE CITY IS DOING TO NOW AND THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND ALL THAT.

>> AND THEN IS THAT THE ONLY TWO YOU HAD THEN? I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO BRING UP THE DISCUSSION ABOUT THE SIZE

OF THE SIGNS. >> WELL THE SIZE-- I DON'T KNOW IF WE-- I DON'T REMEMBER SEEING IT HERE.

BUT YOU KNOW LIKE IN THE CITY, MY EXPERIENCE IS THAT THIS TIME AROUND BECAUSE I EVEN TALKED TO CITY MANAGER.

THEY ARE NOT ALLOWING FOUR BY FOURS DOING YARD SIGNS.

AND IN SOME AREAS DON'T LIMIT TWO OR THREE YARD SIGNS.

YOU KNOW-- SO MANY. >> FOUR BY FOURS? NO FOUR BY EIGHTS. THAT'S EASY.

[00:55:02]

>> AND THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. ONLY DECIMATED AREAS RIGHT? SO-- SORRY. I'M JUST SAYING BECAUSE-- IN THE EXPERIENCE WE HAD SOME OF THEM THERE WERE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS THAT I WENT TO THE JUDGE ABOUT.

SOMEBODY HAD FOUR BY FOUR OR FOUR BY EIGHT AND YOU PUT A YARD SIGN IN THE CORNER AND THEY COMPLAIN AND TAKE IT OFF.

SO YOU BLOCK MY SIGN. WELL ONLY BLOCKING THE LITTLE CORNER. THE WHOLE SIGN YOU CAN SEE.

BUT IT CARRIES THE PROBLEM. >> SO NO BIG YARD SIGNS.

>> I DON'T THINK YOU'LL HAVE TO SAY SPECIFICALLY.

OR JUST NO FOUR BY FOURS OR FOUR BY EIGHTS.

I MEAN YOU GET THAT SPECIFIC. >> IF YOU SAY-- IF THE CITY POLICY. CAN ONLY PUT UP YARD SIGNS THERE. SMALL YARD SIGNS.

>> I THINK YOU HAVE TO DEFINE IT.

>> TWO BY TWOS. >> JUST GOING TO SAY THOSE YARD

SIGNS ARE TWO BY TWOS? >> THEY LOOK A LITTLE BIGGER

THAN THAT. >> THAT'S PRETTY BIG.

>> FOUR BY FOUR. >> YEAH.

TWO BY TWOS I GUESS. YEAH.

SO THE YARD SIGN, WE COULD PUT THE YARD SIGN IN AND JUST CAN GO-- SOME WILL MEASURE IT. BRING BACK WITH A SPECIFIC.

AS LONG AS EVERYBODY KNOWS THE RULES CONSERVATIVE PLAY BY THE RULES. RIGHT, YEAH.

SO YEAH, JUST PUT YARD SIGNS AND THEN WE CAN COME BACK WITH A SPECIFIC SIZE. LIKE GO MEASURE THEM.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT SIZE THEY ARE.

>> I THINK THEY ARE TWO BY TWOS BUT WE CAN COME BACK.

>> JUAN IS RIGHT THESE ARE TWO BY TWOS.

>> SO THEY ARE A BIT BIGGER THAN THAT.

>> THEY ARE SQUARE. THEY ARE NOT LONG.

>> BUT THAT'S NOT OFFENSIVE. >> NORMAL YARD SIGN IS 18 BY 24. APPLICABLE.

>> IF THEY ARE VOTING. >> I THINK THOSE ARE ALL SUPER REASONABLE AND I APPRECIATE YA'LL DOING THIS.

>> IT'S NOT LIMITED TO PUBLIC WORKS TAKING THEM DOWN.

BECAUSE WE TAKE THEM DOWN AS WELL.

>> YEAH-- NEIGHBOUR WHO TAKES THEM DOWN ON COUNTY PROPERTY.

THE THEY ARE LEFT AFTER 48 HOURS.

WE HAVE THE RIGHT. >> JUST SEND A BILL.

>> YEAH, GOOD LUCK WITH THAT. WE DON'T-- WE'RE NOT CHARGING.

MAYBE THAT'LL GET PEOPLE'S SIGNS GONE.

>> AND A CONSEQUENCE OF SOME OF THESE BIG SIGNS WHEN THEY PILE DRIVE THOSE POSTS IN. THEY ARE CUTTING ELECTRICAL LINES AND WATER LINES EVEN THOUGH WE'VE TOLD THEM.

>> WHERE TO GO WITH THEM. THEY STILL PUT THEM DOWN.

SO THIS WILL BE IN OUR POLICY NOW FOR ALL COUNTY LOCATIONS.

>> SO THE AMENDMENT ON THE FIRST ORDER WAS--.

AFTER 48 HOURS WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO PICK THEM UP.

>> RIGHT, WE'LL LEAVE IT THAT FOR NOW.

>> 18 BY 24. NO BIGGER THAN WE'RE ALSO ADDING ONLY WHERE ELECTION POLLS ARE AND DISPOSED OF IN 48

HOURS ON PAGE 12 AND 13. >> COMMISSIONER MAREZ HAS A

COMMENT HE WANTS TO MAKE. >> I KNOW CCSD.

LIKE YA'LL MENTIONED. CORPUS CHRISTI MIDDLE SCHOOL WITH THE RECENT PRIMARY RUN-OFF ELECTIONS.

VERY-- IT'S GREAT, RIGHT? KEEPS THE LINE OF SIGHT OPEN.

JUST SMALL SIGNS. I THOUGHT IT'S ALREADY BEEN TWO YEARS SINCE THE LAST ELECTION. BUT I THOUGHT THERE WAS A LIMIT. EVEN THE CITY.

OR SCHOOL DISTRICT HAS A LIMIT. SO I DON'T WANT TO GET INTO THAT ISSUE RIGHT NOW. BUT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT CAN BE CONSIDERED. SO JUST TO CLARIFY.

THE PARADE OF BIG SIGNS THAT WE HAVE ACROSS, THAT'S GONE.

IF WE TAKE THIS VOTE TODAY. NOW WHAT DOES THAT DO FOR VEHICLES THAT ARE IN-- THAT ARE PART-- IN OUR PARKING LOT WITH LARGE SIGNS. THEY ARE NOT PERMANENT STRUCTURES, BUT THEY'LL GET THERE EARLY AND GET TO WORK OR COME AND DO COUNTY BUSINESS I GUESS AS LONG AS THEY ARE HERE.

BUT I CAN SEE PEOPLE TRYING TO CIRCUMVENT THIS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE THIS IS A BIG CHANGE IN HOW CAMPAIGNING IS DONE HERE. IT'S ESPECIALLY AT THE COURTHOUSE RIGHT. MAYBE SOME OF THE OTHER SIGHTS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY DON'T HAVE THE SAME ISSUE.

[01:00:01]

BUT THIS IS ONE OF THE BIGGER SIGHTS.

SO WHEN YOU HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE YOU HAVE MULTIPLE ACCESS. AND ALL THESE SIGNS EVERYWHERE.

SO ACROSS THE PARKING LOT BIG PARKING LOT-- THAT'S WHERE YOU POTENTIALLY SEE VEHICLES OR TRUCKS PARKED WITH BIG SIGNS AND THEY'LL FOLLOW THE LETTER OF THE LAW BY HAVING PERMANENT SIGN-- YARD SIGNS ON THE LAWN. BUT ON THAT YOU ARE GOING TO SEE VEHICLES. I'M JUST SAYING I DON'T THINK THIS WAS THE ISSUE FOR THEM TO DEBATE NOW.

WE HAVE TO THINK ABOUT IT MORE AND GET SOME DIRECTION OF HOW TO HANDLE THAT. AND LIKE WE SAID IF WE JUST MAKE THE LANGUAGE WHERE IT'S JUST LIKE THE CITIER TO SCHOOL DISTRICT WHEREVER IT IS, HEY YOU GET THIS MANY SIGNS.

AND GO AT IT. AND EVERYBODY UNDERSTANDS.

>> THIS PLACE LOOKS LIKE CRAP. YOU CAN'T EVEN READ THE SIGNS.

>> AND SOMETIMES TWO IN CERTAIN LOCATIONS.

THAT'S IT. >> MAYBE IT'S MORE FOR THE

COURTHOUSE BECAUSE IT'S BIGGER. >> THAT SIDE AND THIS SIDE MAYBE SIX. MAYBE JUST DO SIX RIGHT NOW AND WE'LL SEE HOW THAT WORKS OUT. GO AHEAD YES COMMISSIONER.

SORRY. >> YEAH, FOR YEARS STATED THAT THE SCIENCE WE SEE HERE IS JUST RIDICULOUS.

AND MOST OTHER GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES HAVE ALREADY STEPPED FORWARD AND PUT A LIMIT ON THE NUMBER OF SIGNS THAT YOU CAN HAVE AROUND SCHOOL BUILDINGS AND THAT THING.

AND I THINK WE NEED TO DO THE SAME THING.

I THINK IF YOU SAY WITH RESPECT TO THE COURTHOUSE, YOU CAN TELL PEEP YOU HAVE NO MORE THAN TWO SIGNS ON THE FOUR SIDES OF THIS COURTHOUSE. IT'S PLENTY ENOUGH FOR

EVERYBODY. >> I THINK IF WE JUST PICK A NUMBER. WE START DOING EACH BUILDING

DIFFERENT. >> HOWEVER YA'LL WANT TO DO IT.

IF YOU WORRY ABOUT THE PARKING LOT.

JUST SAY NO A FRAME TYPE SIGNS OR BILLBOARD TYPE SIGNS IN THE PARKING LOT. IF YOU WANT TO WORK THROUGH THE

LANGUAGE THAT'S FINE. >> TWO SIDES ON FOUR SIDES IS A GOOD WAY TO DO IT. THAT WAY YOU CAN DO IT FOR EVERY BUILDING YOU HAVE. TWO SIGNS ON EACH SIDE OF A BUILDING. THEY WANT TO PUT UP.

THAT'S GREAT. GETTING RID OF THE BIG SIGNS AND HAVING PEOPLE WITH 30-- LOOK I'M GUILTY.

THERE'S AREAS WHERE I PUT UP TEN.

NOBODY HAD A LIMIT ON ME. I'M HAPPY TO ABIDE BY IT.

THAT'S FOR SURE. >> SO CONSENSUS SIGNS FOR EACH SIDE OF THE BUILDING THEN YARD SCIENCE ONLY.

>> WHERE YOU HAD YOU CAN'T GET TO ALL FOUR SIDES.

>> WELL THEY WON'T BE PUTTING SIGNS UP THERE EITHER.

>> I DO HAVE ONE OTHER QUESTION.

THIS RESOLUTION DOWN ON ITEM TH THREE. SUCH POLITICAL SIGNS MAY BE POSTED NO EARLIER THAN 5 P.M. ON THE LAST WORKING DAY.

WHAT THE HECK DOES THAT MEAN? THE LAST?

>> LIKE FRIDAY IF MONDAY IS A HOLIDAY AT 5 O'CLOCK.

MO MONDAY.

5 O'CLOCK IS TUESDAY. ARILY SOCIETY VOETING STARTS AND WE HAVE HAD THE OCCASION WHERE THERE WAS A HOLIDAY ON MONDAY BEFORE THE ELECTION. SO THEY CALLED JUST THE LAST WORKING DAY BEFORE THE ELECTION STARTS INSTEAD OF HAVING TO PUT THEM UP AT MIDNIGHT BEFORE THE ELE ELECTION. ON OUR BUILDINGS SAYING 5 O'CLOCK SO NOBODY IS OUT AT MIDNIGHT TRYING TO PUT A SIGN

UP. >> WHY COULDN'T WE SIMPLIFY THAT AND SAY NO EARLIER THAN 5 P.M.

ON THE DAY BEFORE FIRST DAY OF AN ELECTION.

>> UNDERSTANDABLE? >> WE OUGHT TO SAY BUSINESS.

WORKING DAY. SOME PEOPLE WORK SEVEN DAYS A WEEK. NUMBER THREE? LAST BUSINESS DAY BEFORE THE FIRST DAY OF AN EARLY VOTING.

PASSED OUT THIS MORNING ON YOUR PAPERWORK.

THAT'S THE CHANGE THEY MADE IN THERE.

YES. >> COULD WE DO THIS MAYBE GET EVERYBODY SUGGESTIONS AND THEN GO WRITE THIS UP SUCCINCTLY AND

BRING THIS BACK AFTER--. >> EXECUTIVE TODAY.

[01:05:06]

PUTS IT ALL. >> I AGREE.

BUT SAYS 5 P.M. ON THE LAST WORKING DAY.

THAT MEANS-- THE LAST WORKING DAY BEFORE THE ELECTION IS

MONDAY. >> KIND OF LIKE A SUCCINCT FASHION. MAYBE.

>> YEAH WE COULD BRING IT BACK EXEC

EXECUTIVE. >> IS THAT APPROPRIATE TO WRITE

IT UP THERE? >> OKAY.

>> LIKE SAYING THE DAY AFTER YESTERDAY.

>> PERFECT. GOOD JOB.

GLAD WE'RE DOING THIS. >> WE JUST REALY.

COMMISSIONER AND I HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT IT FOR AWHILE BUT WITH ALL THE ELECTIONS GOING ON WE DID NOT WANT THIS TO BE TARGETED TO ANY ELECTION. AND WE WANTED TO DO IT VERY QUICKLY AFTER THE LAST ONE. SO THAT PEOPLE DON'T ORDER A BUNCH OF SIGNS THAT THEY CAN'T USE AT OUR LOCATIONS AS WELL.

[6. Discuss and consider upcoming Commissioners Court meeting date(s), workshop date(s), and related matters.]

SO WE WILL TAKE NUMBER FIVE INTO EXECUTIVE.

ITEM NUMBER SIX DISCUSS AND CONSIDER UPCOMING COMMISSIONER'S COURT MEETING DATES.

WORKSHOP DATES AND RELATED MATTERS.

I DO HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT ON JULY 1ST OUR NEXT MEETING AFTER THIS, WE WANT A START AT 10 A.M. BECAUSE WE PLAN ON DOING AN EVENT AND YOU ALL GET THE FLYERS AND INVITATIONS FOR THE CAPSULE THAT WE ARE GOING TO OPEN.

ON JULY 1ST WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A PROGRAM DOWNSTAIRS THAT WILL START AT 8:45. AND WE WILL HAVE THE VETERANS BAND AND I BELIEVE THEY'VE INVITED TWO OF THE COMMISSIONERS THAT WE COULD GET A HOLD OF THAT WERE ON-- THAT WERE HERE WHEN THEY BURIED THE CAPSULE.

AND THEN WE HAVE A NEW CAPSULE COMING.

SO FOR THOSE OF YOU COMMISSIONERS, WHO WANT TO PUT A LETTER OR SOMETHING IN THE CAPSULE, IT'S REAL-- THEY ARE NOT THAT BIG. SO IT NEEDS TO BE SOMETHING

WRITTEN OR SOMETHING FLAT. >> WE'RE GOING TO OPEN IT.

TAKE THE STUFF OUT AND PUT NEW STUFF IN.

>> WE HAVE A NEW CAPSULE COMING AND A NEW COVER FOR IT TO BE BURIED FOR US. TO GO FORWARD FOR THE NEXT 15

YEARS. >> WHEN WAS IT PUT IN THERE?

>> '76? OR NO?

>> IT WAS PUT IN IN 1976, YES. AND OURS WHEN WE PUT ONE IN, OURS WILL BE OPENED 50 YEARS FROM JULY 1ST AFTER WE DO.

YEAH. >> I WILL BE A 109.

>> I WON'T BE HERE EITHER. BUT PEYTON TOLD ME SHE WOULD BE HERE AND SHE WILL TALK HIGHLY OF ALL OF US.

>> CAN WE PUT A PICTURE OF US ALL IN THERE.

>> WE COULD. IF YOU WANT TO.

>> EVERYBODY LIKE WE'LL TAKE A GROUP STAFF.

EVERYBODY. >> AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE OTHER PEOPLE PUT IN THEIRS. SO IT'S GOING TO BE KIND OF COOL TO SEE WHAT THEY PUT IN WHEN WE OPEN THAT.

SO IT WILL BE A NEAT EVENT. JULY 1ST.

10 A.M. COURT WILL START BUT DOWNSTAIRS IN THE ATRIUM WILL START AT 8:45 AND WE HAVE HAD THE TEXAS HISTORICAL COMMISSION JJ WITH VETERANS SERVICES AND EVERYTHING ALL MEETING WITH OUR OFFICE PLANNING THIS EVENT.

>> JULY 1ST 10 A.M. >> THE EVENT DOWN STAIRS WILL START AT 8:45 YOU SAID? OR 9?

>> THE BAND'S GOING TO START PLAYING AT 8:45 AND THE SPEAKERS WILL START AT 9. WE HAVE TO BE BACK UP HERE AT 10 FOR COURT SO WE NEED TO BE ON SCHEDULE AND ON TIME.

I ALSO WANT TO POINT OUT JULY 14TH AND 15TH WE HAVE BUDGET WORKSHOPS JUST FYI. SO EVERYONE IS AWARE AND READY.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION OR COMMISSIONER'S COURT MEETINGS OR ANYTHING NEED TO BE BROUGHT UP OR HIGHLIGHTED OR ANYTHING?

THANK YOU. ITEM D1.

DISCUSS AND CONSIDER APPROVAL FOR THE CERTIFICATE SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION OF THE DRISCOLL COMMUNITY CENTER PROJECT.

>> YOUR HONOR I HAVE A QUESTION ON THAT BEFORE WE MOVE FORWARD WITH A VOTE PLEASE. ONE, TELL ME BECAUSE WE'VE GOT SOME ISSUES WITH THE CONTRACTOR NOT GETTING FINISHED UP OUT THERE. THIS PROJECT SHOULD HAVE BEEN FINISHED A LONG TIME AGO. AND I TALKED TO ENGINEERING FIRM YESTERDAY AND THEY CALLED THE CONTRACTOR AND TOLD THEM THEY NEEDED TO GET FINISHED. THEY ONLY HAVE HALF AS TOEN SORE ITEMS TO GET THIS THING COMPLETED.

SO DOES THIS MEAN THAT WE PAY THEM A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF MONEY? OR WHAT DOES THIS SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION MEAN?

>> IT'S ONLY TO 10%. WE HOLD BACK THE 10% CONTINGENCY ON IT. ONLY HOLD BACK 10% CONTINGENCY.

SO THEY ARE GOING TO GET PAID IN FULL.

THIS IS JUST TO GET SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION.

I THINK THE ONLYITE THAM NEEDS TO BE LEFT TO BE COMPLETED COMMISSIONER IS JUST THE SIDEWALK.

THE ONE IN THE FRONT. SO IT WILL MEET THE ADA

REQUIREMENTS. >> WELL THERE'S SOME SIGNAGE I

THINK AND SOME OTHER STUFF. >> YES, SIR.

SOME MINOR STUFF. >> SO THIS WOULD PAY THEM

EVERYTHING EXCEPT 10%. >> YES, SIR.

WE'LL HOLD BACK THE CONTINGENCY.

[1. Review and discuss Unaudited Fiscal Year 2026 Financial Report dated March 31, 2026, and related matters.]

>> THANK YOU JUDGE. THANK YOU CHOMMISSIONER.

>> MOVING ONTO E1 AUDITOR. REVIEW AND DISCUSS THE UNAUDITED IN BOLD LETTERS IT SAYS FISCAL YEAR 2026 FINANCIAL

REPORT DATED MARCH 31ST,2026. >> GOOD MORNING.

READY FOR CONY TO PUT THE SLIDE UP.

>> OH CONY, YES. >> THAT WE CAN ALL SEE AT THE SAME TIME. RIGHT THERE.

OKAY SO THIS IS THE STATUS OF THE COUNTIES GOVERNMENT FUNDS AS OF MARCH 3 ISST THAT'S SIX MONTHS INTO THE FISCAL YEAR.

THE DETAILS ARE IN YOUR PACTS. THE WORDING ACROSS THE TOP GENERAL CAPITAL PROJECTS. THANK YOU CONY.

THAT TELLS YOU WHICH FUNDS WE'RE LOOKING AT.

SO LET'S GO TO GENERAL THAT'S ON THE FAR LEFT.

SO ASSETS ARE $113,000. FUND BALANCE IS 96.

OF COURSE IT'S HIGH BECAUSE ALL THE PROPERTY TAX COMES IN AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR WHILE EXPENSES TAKE PLACE OVER THE FULL 12 MONTHS SO IT LOOKS HIGH TEMPORARILY THEN IT STARTS GOING DOWN AGAIN AS WE SPEND THE FUNDS.

SO IT'S THE SAME THING WITH THE GENERAL FUND.

THE ROAD AND BRIDGE FUND WHICH IS THE THIRD COLUMN AND THE DEBT SERVICE FUND OVER ON THE LEFT.

>> AND THE OTHER POINT I GUESS, THIS IS MARCH.

WELL WE'RE IN JUNE. THIS IS THE REPORT FOR MARCH.

YES. SO WHEN YOU SAY IT GOES DOWN BECAUSE WE SPEND THE YEAR AND YOU THINK WE'RE IN JUNE.

WE'RE HALFWAY THROUGH THE YEAR. I MEAN MORE THAN HALFWAY THROUGH THE YEAR. BUT-- NOT NECESSARILY.

YES. >> YES THIS IS SIX MONTHS.

WHERE DO YOU SEE JUNE? >> I'M TALKING ABOUT TODAY IS SCOMBRUN WE'RE LOOKING AT THIS REPORT.

SO WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT THIS ALSO REALTIZE NUMBERS YOU'RE LOOKING AT. THIS IS A MARCH REPORT, YES.

>> YES THERE'S ALWAYS A TWO-MONTH DELAY.

BECAUSE OF PROCESSING AND ALL THAT.

THE REPORTS FROM THE DEPARTMENTS AND THEN WE GO THROUGH IT. OKAY SO THAT'S THE WHOLE FIRST SECTION. THE STATUS OF THE FUND BALANCE AND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ASSETS AND FUND BALANCE ARE LIABILITIES. SO THAT'S IN PAGE ONE OF YOUR PACKET. THE SECOND IS EXPENDITURES.

NUMBERS IN RED ARE OF COURSE PROPERTY TAX DRIVEN.

[01:15:02]

THAT'S THE BULK OF THEM. JUST TO HIGHLIGHT THEM OUT FOR YOU. BUT A PARTICULAR INTEREST IF YOU GO TO THE ROAD BRIDGE WHICH IS THE THIRD COLUMN FROM THE LEFT AND THE AIRPORT FUND WHICH IS THE FOURTH COLUMN FROM THE LEFT, NOTICE THAT THE NET YEAR TO DATE IS NEGATIVE.

SO THE EXPENDITURES EXCEED THE REVENUES AND I JUST WANT TO POINT THAT OUT YOU'LL SEE THAT IN REPORTS GOING FORWARD.

THAT WAS INTENTIONAL. TO DRAW DOWN THE FUND BALANCES OF THOSE FUNDS BECAUSE THEY HAD ACCUMULATED.

SO THE TRANSFERS OF THE GENERAL FUND WERE UNNECESSARY THIS YEAR. THEY HAD THEIR OWN MONEY IN THOSE FUNDS THEY WERE PRETTY SELF-SUSTAINING.

CAN'T SEE IT IN THIS FORMAT BUT THERE WERE FUNDS IN THERE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR SO YOU WILL START SEEING NEGATIVES AS WE GO THROUGH THE YEAR. THAT'S INTENTIONAL.

IT'S BUDGETED THAT WAY TO BRING DOWN THE FUND BALANCE WE CAME INTO THE YEAR WITHIN THOSE TWO FUNDS BECAUSE THEY HAD MONEY.

EVERYTHING ELSE LOOKED FINE. I COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING THAT LOOKED REALLY AMISS. AND THEN IN YOUR PACKETS PAGE THREE ONWARD ARE DETAILS OF ALL OF THIS.

THEY ARE NOT REPEATED HERE. THAT'S IF YOU WANT TO GO THROUGH THEM, THEY ARE THERE. BUDGET VERSUS ACTUAL.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FUNDS IN MORE DETAIL WITH THE LINE ITEMS. THAT'S IT.

>> AWESOME. OKAY.

>> THANK YOU FOR THE DETAIL. >> SURE.

>> ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU VERY MUCH THEN.
