COMMENT. AND KATHY WAIMER, YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE ON HERE. YOU KNOW THE ROUTINE, SO I DON'T

HAVE TO TELL YOU. >> I DON'T THINK IT'S LOW ENOUGH. BRING IT CLOSER?

CAN Y'ALL HEAR ME? >> THERE WE GO.

>> THERE WE GO. MOST OF YOU -- I'M KATHY WAMER, SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF AN HISTORIC COMMISSION.

FIRST OF ALL, I LOVE CHILDREN. I MEAN...

I STILL SUBSTITUTE IN THE SCHOOLS, BUT I LOVE 'EM, AND THIS IS SUCH -- THE VERY EPITOME IS WHAT AMERICA IS BACK AS A 4-H GROUP. I JUST CALLED PENNY WHEN I SAW THEY WERE VERY RECOGNIZED. HER DAUGHTER IS VERY ACTIVE IN THE 4-H, AND HER SON COULD NOT BE HERE TODAY, OR HE WOULD HAVE BEEN HERE. OKAY, PUT THAT ASIDE.

I CAME TO SPEAK ABOUT THE DEDICATION WE HAD SATURDAY.

IT WENT OFF VERY WELL. WE DIDN'T HAVE AS MANY PEOPLE THERE AT THE NEW BAYVIEW CEMETERY, BUT I'M GLAD THAT I GOT EVERYTHING LAID OUT FOR 'EM. IF THANK YOU DIDN'T KNOW, THEY WERE GOING TO PUT THE MARKER FOR THE CEMETERY IN THE WRONG LOCATION. BUT I HAPPENED TO GO OUT THERE ON THAT MONDAY TO TELL IT'S THE ONE CLOSEST TO THE RIVER, BECAUSE NEW BAYVIEW IS DIVIDED INTO TWO SECTIONS.

IT WAS A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT FROM THE CITY AND FROM Y'ALL.

BUT THE BEST PART OF ALL: THAT WAS THE FIRST -- IT'S NOT OUR ONLY HISTORIC CEMETERY IN CORPUS CHRISTI, BUT IT'S THE FIRST ONE WE'VE DONE A DEDICATION MORE.

I WANT TO RECOGNIZE SOME OF OUR COMMISSIONERS WHO SPOKE.

MIKE CARLYLE WAS IN CHARGE OF OF THE PROCEEDINGS.

DEBBIE ZUNICA WAS THERE. TESSA GARZA.

AND KAREN HOWDEN GAVE THE HISTORY OF THE CEMETERY ITSELF.

AND IT REALLY LOOKS GOOD. IF YOU CAN GET THERE AND GET OUTTA THERE, BECAUSE THE CONSTRUCTION IS -- NOT GOOD.

THANK Y'ALL FOR Y'ALL'S SUPPORT. >> THANK YOU.

>> IS THERE ANYONE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK ON PUBLIC COMMENT THAT DID NOT HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SIGN UP? IF NOT... THEN THAT CLOSES PUBLIC COMMENT.

[G. RECESS COMMISSIONERS COURT CONVENE MEETING OF ROAD DISTRICT IV: 1. Discuss and consider allocating funds necessary to make road, parking and ADA accessible routes and lighting for Port Aransas Veterans Memorial project in the amount of $50,000 and all related matters. ADJOURN MEETING OF ROAD DISTRICT IV AND RECONVENE REGULAR MEETING]

WE HAVE NO MORE. MOVING ON TO -- IT IS 9:21.

WE WILL RECESS COMMISSIONERS COURT AND CONVENE THE MEETING OF THE ROAD DISTRICT IV. ITEM NUMBER 1 IS DISCUSS AND CONSIDER ALLOCATING FUNDS NECESSARY TO MAKE ROAD, PARKING AND ADA ACCESSIBLE ROUTES AND LIGHTING FOR THE PORT ARANSAS VETERANS' MEMORIAL PROJECT IN THE AMOUNT OF $50,000 AND ALL

[00:15:03]

PASS THAT. THIS WILL BE MONEY USED FOR EXACTLY WHAT YOU JUST READ OFF. I DID SENT OUT AS A MATTER OF NOTICE YESTERDAY TO EVERYBODY ABOUT THE NEW GROUND-BREAKING AND RIBBON-CUTTINGS GOING ON IN PORT A. THAT I HOPE YOU CAN JOIN US. I'M VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS PROJECT. IT'S COMING ALONG VERY NICELY, AND I WOULD MAKE THE MOTION TO PASS TO SO THAT WE CAN --

>> I SECOND THAT MOTION. IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION?

>> YEAH, I HAVE A QUESTION. YOU KNOW, COUNTY ROAD 4, WE HAVE SOME CERTAIN REQUIREMENTS, AND EVERY TIME WE MAKE MONEY FROM THERE, I JUST -- I THINK WE SHOULD GET A MAP TO SHOW WHERE THE LOCATION OF THIS PROJECT IS, HOW DOES IT RUN INTO THE ROAD.

IS IT GOING TO BE ADJACENT TO THE ROAD, OR WHAT? BUT, I MEAN, IT'S BEEN MY QUESTION FOR A LONG TIME.

AND WE DRAW MONEY FROM THERE, BUT I THINK WE HAVE TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT SOME OF THE REQUIREMENTS, SOME OF THE POLICIES THAT AFFECT COUNTY ROAD 4 AND HOW CAN WE USE THOSE MONIES? THIS IS A GREAT PROJECT.

I SUPPORT IT. I'M A VETERAN.

BUT EVERY TIME WE GET SOME MONIES OUT OF COUNTY ROAD 4 FOR A PROJECT, IT WOULD BE GOOD TO GIVE US KIND OF A PICTURE VIEW OF WHAT -- WHERE THE PROJECT IS AND WHERE'S IT'S GONNA BE AND HOW'S IT REALLY CONNECTED TO COUNTY ROAD 4?

>> ROAD DISTRICT IV. >> YOU'RE SAYING COUNTY ROAD 4.

BUT IT'S ROAD DISTRICT IV. >> DISTRICT ROAD IV.

THAT'S MY QUESTION. I LIKE TO SEE WHERE THE PROJECTS ARE. HOW IS IT RELATED TO -- IS IT ADJACENT TO IT? IS IT CONNECTED TO IT? YOU KNOW, BECAUSE I THINK THERE ARE SOME RESTRICTIONS THAT I DON'T KNOW IF WE'RE FOLLOWING OR NOT, BUT --

>> YES, SIR, AND WE'VE PROVIDED IN THE PAST SEVERAL TIMES A RENDERING OF THE PROJECT. I CAN GET YOU THAT AGAIN.

SO IT WILL SHOW YOU EXACTLY WHERE IT IS, BUT IT IS ABSOLUTELY ADJACENT TO IT. IT'S ADA PARKING, OBVIOUSLY, FOR ACCESSIBLE ROUTES, AND LIGHTING FOR THE MEMORIAL SO THAT MEANS IT'S ACTUALLY LIGHTING UP THE MEMORIAL, SO IT'S -- IT'S NOT -- SOME OF IT IS ADJACENT. SOME OF IT IS RIGHT ON THE PROJECT, BUT I'LL GET YOU THAT RENDERING AGAIN.

I'M SORRY THAT THAT DIDN'T GET IN, BUT WE'LL GET THAT FOR YOU

ASAP. >> I MEAN, I SUPPORT IT,

COMMISSIONER. >> OH, I KNOW.

I KNOW. IT'S A GREAT QUESTION.

>> I MISSED IT, I MISSED IT. >> IT'S A FAIR REQUEST.

>> I THINK IT'S SOMETHING IN THE FUTURE, TOO.

MONIES WILL BE DRAWN OUT FOR DISTRICT ROAD IV.

>> EVEN AN UPDATE FROM THE OTHER IS NOT --

>> COMMISSIONERS MAREZ WANTS TO SPEAK.

>> I WAS GOING TO SAY THE SAME THING AS COMMISSIONER GONZALEZ, WHICH I AGREE. WE HAVEN'T TOUCHED THIS ITEM PROBABLY IN YEARS, AND I KNOW THERE WAS A LOT OF BACK AND FORTH, TRYING TO LEARN THE BOUNDARIES AND THE FLEXIBILITY WE HAD AND THE FUNDING AND WHERE IT COULD GO.

SO THIS COURT AND PRIOR COURTS HAVE DEBATED THAT, SO I'M NOT GOING TO GET INTO THAT. I DO SUPPORT THIS PROJECT AS WELL. IT'S NOT AN ISSUE.

I JUST THINK, FOR FURTHER PURPOSES, TO HAVE A RENDERING SO THAT ANYTIME ROAD DISTRICT 4 COMES UP, WE CAN ACCESS.

THE GRAND SCOPE OF WHERE THAT MAP LIES.

IT'S KIND OF A UNIQUE LOCATION, SO IT WOULD BE GOOD FOR, I THINK, THE PUBLIC TO KIND OF BE REMINDED OF WHERE THAT IS.

BUT, YEAH, I SUPPORT IT, TOO, BUT I AGREE WITH COMMISSIONER GONZALEZ. WE NEED THAT ADDED ON ALL FUTURE ITEMS THAT WE'LL BE VOTING FOR ANY FUNDING RELATED TO ROAD

DISTRICT 4. >> COMMISSIONER PUSLEY WOULD

LIKE TO SPEAK AS WELL. >> YES, I AGREE.

CAN YOU HEAR ME OKAY? >> MM-HMM.

>> I AGREE. IT'S BEEN PROBABLY SEVEN OR EIGHT YEARS SINCE I HAD TO DEAL WITH THIS IN MY PRIOR LIFE ON THE COURT, AND I'D LIKE TO HAVE AN EXPLANATION SENT TO ALL OF US ABOUT HOW THIS STARTED, HOW THE MONEY'S GENERATED, HOW THE FUND BUILDS AND HOW IT GETS DISTRIBUTED, .

YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING ABOUT IT. BUT THAT'S MY ONLY COMMENT.

>> THANK YOU. IF THERE'S NO FURTHER DISCUSSION, WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER CHESNEY AND A SECOND BY MYSELF. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, SAY "YEA."

>> JUDGE , I'M SORRY. MY BAD.

MY BAD. >> ANY OPPOSED?

THE MOTION PASSES. >> COMMISSIONER PUSLEY, ARE YOU

VOTING ON THIS ONE? >> NO.

I'LL WAIT. >> YOU'LL WAIT.

THANK YOU. OKAY.

[00:20:01]

SO, WE HAVE FOUR "YEA"S AND ONE.

>> OKAY, JENNY. WOULD YOU MIND PULLING THAT INFORMATION BACK UP. IT HAS BEEN A WHILE SINCE WE TALKED ABOUT ROAD DISTRICT IV, BUT THE HISTORY IT OF IT AND TE LEGALITIES OF IT, IT WOULD BE GREAT THAT YOU WOULD CIRCULATE

THAT TO THE COURT. >> THERE DO, SIR.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> GOOD IDEA.

SO IT IS 9:27, AND I AM ADJOURNING THE MEETING OF THE

[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.]

ROAD DISTRICT AND WE WILL CONTINUE WITH THE COMMISSIONERS COURT MEETING. WE'RE ON CONSENT AGENDA.

DOES ANY COMMISSIONER HAVE ANY ITEMS THEY WANT TO PULL FOR FURTHER DISCUSSION OR TO TABLE? I HAVE A COUPLE.

I WANT TO TABLE NUMBER 2. A MOTION AND A SECOND WILL BRING IT BACK UP AT THE NEXT MEETING. 2 (N).

SUPPORT FOR THE CORPUS CHRISTI POLICE DEPARTMENT.

IT HASN'T BEEN NOTICED OR SIGNED, AND SO...

>> WILL THIS HAVE ANY IMPACT ON --

>> NO, WE'RE GOING TO BRING IT BACK ON THE NEXT MEETING.

THEY HAVE ENOUGH TIME. WE CHECKED WITH THEM ABOUT THAT.

OR MY OFFICE DID. SO WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO BRING BACK TO OUR NEXT OCTOBER, I BELIEVE, 28TH MEETING, TO PUT THAT ON THE AGENDA, SO...

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, SAY "YEA." ANY OPPOSED? THE MOTION PASSES. AND THEN I NEED TO PULL ITEM 2 (L) AND 2 (P) FOR DISCUSSION.

CLARIFICATION, BASICALLY. >> JUDGE, I WOULD -- IF THERE'S NO OTHER PULLS, I'D MAKE A MOTION TO PASS CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS (A) THROUGH (Q) OTHER THAN ITEMS (L), (N), AND

(P). >> SECOND THAT MOTION.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, SAY "YEA." ANY OPPOSED? THE MOTION PASSES, 4, WITH COMMISSIONER PUSLEY NOT VOTING.

[L. Ratify and accept execution of Supplemental Agreement No. 1 to Work Authorization No. 4 with Hanson Professional Services, Inc., to extend the Completion Date.]

ON 2 (L), THIS -- I JUST WANTED TO PULL THIS OUT, IT'S LISTED AS A RATIFICATION. IT IS NOT A RATIFY.

IT HAS NOT BEEN SIGNED. THE CONTRACT IS HERE.

IF THIS PASSES, WE WILL VOTE TO SIGN TODAY.

TO ALLOW ME TO SIGN. THAT WAS A MISSTEP ON NOT CATCHING THAT ON OUR PART, SO I MAKE THE MOTION TO APPROVE.

>> SECOND. >> WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, SAY "YEA." ANY OPPOSED? THE MOTION PASSES. ON ITEM (P), THE OTHER REASON

[P. Authorize the following Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Outside Agency Contract: 1. Al Amin Shrine Center - Commissioner Precinct 1: $2,000]

I BROUGHT THIS ONE UP IS THE BACKUP IT SAYS ALSO AUTHORIZE ON YOUR PAPER THE 25/26. IT IS FISCAL YEAR 26/27, NOT 25/26. THAT WAS A TYPO THERE.

>> SECOND, IF THAT WAS A MOTION. >> YES, IT WAS.

WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, SAY "YEA."

>> YOUR HONOR? >> OH, I'M SORRY, YES?

>> WOULD YOU TELL ME WHICH ONE THAT IS AGAIN NOW?

>> (P). IT'S ON THE OUTSIDE AGENCY CONTRACT. THE CONTRACT STATES ON HERE -- LISTED ON HERE -- IT SAYS AUTHORIZE THE FOLLOWING FISCAL YEAR 25/26 OUTSIDE AGENTS AGENCY CONTRACT.

I BELIEVE IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE 26/27, IS MY NOTES.

>> WELL, HALF THE MONEY IS COMING FROM THE 25/26 --

>> THIS IS NOT THE OTHER CONTRACTS.

THIS IS NOT THE -- >> IT SAYSAL MINE "CITYLINE" SAE CENTER. YOUR $2,000 TO THE OUTSIDE

AGENCY CONTRACT. >> YES.

I UNDERSTAND THAT. BUT HALF OF THAT $2,000 COMES FROM LAST YEAR'S MONEY AND HALF IS COMING FROM THIS YEAR'S MONEY, BECAUSE WE DIDN'T GET THE CONTRACT APPROVED, AND I THOUGHT WE EXPLAINED ALL OF THAT TO JENNY AND NICOLE BEFORE THE

MEETING. >> NICOLE IS NOT HERE.

TERESA IS -- SHE CAN TALK ABOUT IT.

YES. >> AND WE TALKED TO TERESA AS

WELL. >> MM-HMM.

>> YES, SIR. THE CONTRACT WAS -- IS GONNA BE FUNDED, COMMISSIONER, FROM THE CURRENT YEAR'S FUNDS, 26/27.

THE CONTRACT WAS NOT PROCESSED FOR 25/26, AND SO YOU ADDED AN ADDITIONAL THOUSAND DOLLARS AND JUST FUNDING IT FOR THE CURRENT

YEAR. >> YEAH, BUT THE -- $1,000 OF IT IS COMING FROM MONEY I HAD LEFT OVER FROM LAST YEAR.

[00:25:04]

>> THAT ROLLS OVER. >> IT DOES NOT ROLL OVER.

>> WE TALKED ABOUT THIS, TERESA. >> IS THAT ON THE ECONOMIC

DEVELOPMENT ROLLS OVER? >> -- MONIES ARE BEING POSTED TO LAST YEAR, BUT THIS OUTSIDE AGENCY CONTRACT, AN ADDITIONAL $1,000 WAS ADDED TO FUND IT IN THE CURRENT YEAR.

>> DO YOU WANT ME TO PULL THIS UNTIL YOU CAN -- FOR THE NEXT MEETING? IF YOU --

>> HE'S GOT THE MONEY, RIGHT? >> HE HAS THE MONEY.

>> AND THE ACTUAL CONTRACTS STATES THAT IT'S FOR 26/27.

>> THE CONTRACT THAT WE HAVE FOR ME TO SIGN TODAY STATES IT'S

26/, 27, COMMISSIONER. >> COMMISSIONER PUSLEY, I THINK WHAT SHE'S SAYING IS YOU'RE PULLING THE MONEY FROM LAST YEAR BUT IT HAS TO BE A CONTRACT FOR THIS YEAR, BECAUSE THE CONTRACT -- YOU CAN'T GO BACK AND DO A 25/26 CONTRACT.

SO I THINK Y'ALL ARE BOTH SAYING THE SAME THING, BUT I DON'T --

>> NO. I GUESS I AM, COMMISSIONER.

I HAD EXTENSIVE DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THIS, AND HALF OF THE MONEY -- I HAD ALLOCATED SENDING THIS MONEY TO THE TEMPLE SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, AND FOR WHATEVER REASON, THE CONTRACT GOT BOGGED DOWN, NEVER GOT DONE. SO WE -- I SAID, WELL, LET'S JUST APPROVE IT ALL AT ONE TIME, AND I'LL ADD A THOUSAND DOLLARS COMING OUT OF THIS YEAR'S OUTSIDE AGENCY SO THEY'LL ACTUALLY GET $2,000, BUT A THOUSAND DOLLARS OF IT IS COMING FROM LAST YEAR'S FUNDS, AND WHEN I SAY "LAST YEAR'S," I'M TALKING ABOUT 25/26. AND THEN THE OTHER THOUSAND DOLLARS WILL COME FROM THE 26/27 OUTSIDE AGENCY FUNDING.

>> AND THAT'S OKAY. >> THAT WILL REQUIRE TWO CONTRACTS. WE NEED A CONTRACT THAT WOULD BE FOR 25/26 AND THEN A CONTRACT FOR THE CURRENT YEAR.

CORRECT? >> CAN WE GOING BACK IN TIME FOR

A CONTRACT LIKE THAT? >> I DON'T THINK SO.

>> THE MONEY'S COMING -- >> I SENT KIM OVER TO TALK TO EVERYBODY IN THE BUILDING TO MAKE SURE WE HAD THIS DONE, AND AS USUAL, IT'S NOT RIGHT. I DON'T KNOW.

>> WE CAN APPROVE THE AMOUNT. WE CAN APPROVE THE CONTRACT GOING FORWARD. YOU CAN DEAL WITH WHAT THE FUNDS ARE COMING FROM AND IF YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH IN YOUR --

>> HE DOES. >> THERE'S STILL PLENTY IN HIS

CONTRACTS. >> THERE'S 20,000 ALLOCATED FOR THE CURRENT YEAR, AND THE 2,000 WAS COMING FROM THE CURRENT

ALLOCATION FOR THIS YEAR. >> YEAH.

SEE... THAT'S NOT RIGHT.

>> DO YOU WANT US TO PULL IT FORWARD?

>> JUST TABLE IT AND I'LL HAVE TO WRESTLE IT TO THE GROUND.

>> SORRY. SO SORRY ABOUT THE CONFUSION.

THEN, A MOTION TO -- I'LL MAKE THE MOTION TO TABLE TO THE NEXT

MEETING. >> SECOND.

>> WE HAVE A SECOND FROM COMMISSIONER GONZALEZ.

I THINK HE WAS FIRST. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, SAY "YEA." ANY OPPOSED? THE MOTION PASSES WITH THOSE OF

[1. Discuss and consider allocating $30,000 of capital credits funds to each County Commissioner, excluding the County Judge, from the capital credits funds balance for the Nueces County Economic Development Program as provided by Local Government Code chapter 381; and all related matters.]

US HERE, YES. MOVING ON TO OUR REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS. AGENDA NUMBER (A) 1, DISCUSS AND CONSIDER ALLOCATING $30,000 OF CAPITAL CREDITS FUNDS TO EACH COUNTY COMMISSIONER, EXCLUDING THE COUNTY JUDGE, AS WE DID LAST YEAR, FROM THE CAPITAL CREDIT FUNDS BALANCE FOR THE NUECES COUNTY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM AS PROVIDED BY LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE CHAPTER 381; AND ALL

>> I'LL SECOND FOR DISCUSSION. YES, SIR.

GO AHEAD. >> THIS BASICALLY -- THIS NUMBER HAS CHANGED A LITTLE BIT, TERESA, FROM WHEN I PUT IN MY BACKUP. I THINK COMMISSIONER PUSLEY PUT IN SOME OF HIS FROM LAST YEAR. I THINK THERE'S STILL ENOUGH TO COVER THE 30,000 EACH IN THE CAPITAL CREDITS BASED ON THAT.

>> IN THE CURRENT YEAR, YES, SIR.

>> JUST FOR THE COURT'S EDIFICATION -- AND AGAIN, I WANT TO THANK THE COUNTY JUDGE FOR HER PARTICIPATION, AND REMIND THE COMMISSIONERS, SHE'S GIVING TO ALL OF US BY NOT TAKING HER ALLOCATION. SO, YOU KNOW, I TRY TO GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE, AND I APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT THAT ALLOWS US TO GIVE MORE, IF THIS ITEM PASSES.

THAT THE COUNTY JUDGE IS NOT TAKING SOME SO THAT WE'RE ABLE TO GIVE MORE, BUT THAT BASICALLY MEANS SHE'S GIVING TO ALL OF US, AND EVERY TIME I TRY TO DO A CHECK PRESENTATION, I'M GOING TO INCLUDE YOU. THIS IS THE SAME THING WE DID LAST YEAR. WHAT DID NOT GET DONE IN THE BUDGET THAT WE TALKED ABOUT LAST YEAR, AND I THINK I'VE ALREADY SENT THAT TO TERESA, IS WE REALLY NEED TO LOOK AT POSSIBLY INCREASING OUTSIDE AGENCY FUNDS FOR THE COMMISSIONERS NEXT YEAR, BECAUSE THIS CAPITAL CREDITS ACCOUNT IS GOING TO BE PRETTY DRAINED, AND IF WE'RE GOING TO WANT TO CONTINUE TO DO THIS.

[00:30:06]

SO IF WE CAN PLEASE MAKE SURE TO PUT THAT IN AS A BUDGET CHALLENGE FOR NEXT YEAR. WE KNEW WE WERE GETTING TO THAT POINT, AND WE'RE AT THAT POINT NOW AND WE NEED TO LOOK AT -- AND I'M NOT ASKING ANYBODY TO COMMIT TO THAT BUDGET ITEM FOR NEXT YEAR NOW. I'M JUST KIND OF BRINGING IT ALL OUT TO EVERYBODY'S SUPER UP-FRONT ABOUT IT, BUT I WOULD ENCOURAGE THAT WE PASS THIS AND SO THAT WE CAN START TO DO OUR ALLOCATIONS THIS YEAR. -- OR WHEREVER.

WHENEVER. >> GO AHEAD, COMMISSIONER

GONZALEZ. >> ITCH A I HAVE A QUESTION, BECAUSE WE'RE NUMBER 1, RIGHT? AND IS NUMBER 2 A FOLLOW-UP TO

NUMBER 1? >> WE COULD DO THAT.

BRING IT TO THIS COURT HERE. >> IT WAS ON THE AGENDA.

BUT WE ALL HAVE THAT AMOUNT EVERY YEAR.

WE'RE JUST MAKING SURE IT CONTINUES THIS YEAR, SO NEXT COURT, YOU COULD HAVE YOUR ALLOCATIONS.

>> I PUT THE FIRST ONE ON, SO I JUST PUT THE SECOND ONE ON, TOO.

>> WE HAVE TO ALLOCATE THE FUNDING FIRST, BEFORE WE CAN --

>> I'M JUST HOPING, RIGHT? >> THIS IS THE ONE THAT I TABLED FROM LAST MEETING. I DID IT LAST MEETING, AND I DID IT PREMATURELY, BECAUSE WE WEREN'T AT THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR, SO I TABLED IT TO THIS MEETING.

IT'S THE SAME TWO ITEMS. >> RIGHT.

OKAY. >> ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, SAY "YEA." ANY OPPOSED? THE MOTION -- OH, COMMISSIONER, ARE YOU WANTING TO VOTE ON THIS

ONE? >> I WANT TO VOTE YEA, BECAUSE THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS TRYING TO DO ON THE LAST ITEM

THAT I TABLED FOR MINE. >> OKAY.

WE HAVE COMMISSIONER PUSLEY VOTING THIS TIME AS WELL.

I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND MAKE

THE MOTION. >> SECOND THAT.

>> I'D LIKE TO SECOND THAT. >> COMMISSIONER PUSLEY ASKED IF HE COULD SECOND THIS ONE, BECAUSE HE WORKED SO HARD ON THIS PROJECT. HE'S WORKED FOR A LONG TIME.

>> AS WELL AS HE'S GOING TO SECOND IT.

>> HE'S GOING TO SECOND IT. WE'RE MOVING FORWARD ON THIS TODAY. WE'RE VERY EXCITED TO AWARD AND AUTHORIZE THE TWO MOTIONS. WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM?

>> I THINK WE GOT A GOOD COMPANY TO DO IT.

>> , YES, KATHY, WE SEE YOUR FACE, AND THIS IS A BITTERSWEET MOMENT, BUT THE TIME HAS COME, AND WE APPRECIATE ALL OF Y'ALL'S EFFORTS AND EVERYTHING THAT YOU HAVE DONE, SO...

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? >> JUDGE, I THINK WE SHOULD --

>> AN EASY TIMEFRAME. CAN WE JUST SAY THAT OUT LOUD

FOR THE COMMUNITY? >> THAT'S LIKE -- THAT'S PART OF THE CONTINGENT AGREEMENT, BUT I THINK IT'S 130,000.

>> HAVE A DATE YET? >> WE DO, KIND OF.

THAT IT WON'T HAVE TO COME BACK TO THE COURT FOR ANY RATIFICATION OF THE CONTRACT. YOU'RE GONNA -- WE'RE APPROVING THE AMOUNT AND THE CONTRACT IN ONE MOTION, AND ONCE THE -- ALL THE INSURANCE AND PAPERWORK IS DONE, THE CONTRACTOR WILL HAVE APPROXIMATELY 130 DAYS TO COMPLETE THE DEMOLITION.

>> AND THE AMOUNT? COULD WE SAY THAT FOR THE RECORD, TOO? JUST I DON'T SEE THAT IN THE

MOTION. >> MICHAEL, CAN WE SAY THAT? IT'S LIKE, DO WE WANT TO SAY THAT?

OKAY? >> YES, YOU CAN SAY THE AMOUNT.

THIS IS AN IFB. IT'S AWARDED TO THE LOWEST BIDDER. THE VENDOR IS CAMACHO

DEMOLITION, LLC. >> I JUST WANTED TO AGAIN CONGRATULATE -- YOU KNOW, I KNOW THIS IS, LIKE YOU SAID, BITTERSWEET OR KATHY AND HER GROUP AND WE APPRECIATE ALL HER EFFORTS. I WANT TO REITERATE THE THANKS TO THE COUNTY JUDGE FOR HER EFFORTS AND CERTAINLY TO COMMISSIONER PUSLEY FOR ALL THE YEARS I KNOW HE'S WORKED ON

[00:35:03]

THIS, AND I KNOW HE'S SHEPHERDED THIS DEMOLITION BID AND WORKED REALLY HARD TO GO AND GET THIS, AND, AGAIN, THE FUNDING SOURCE FROM THIS COMES FROM THE DOWNTOWN -- SITUATION, AND AGAIN, I KNOW THERE'S MIXED EMOTIONS BECAUSE OF THE LOSS OF THE COURTHOUSE, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, THE TIME HAS COME, AND WITHOUT THE JUDGE AND COMMISSIONER PUSLEY WORKING SO HARD ON THIS, WE WOULDN'T BE AT THIS POINT.

SO THANK Y'ALL BOTH. AND LET'S -- LET'S GET THIS -- LET'S GET THIS DONE FOR THE COMMUNITY, AND WE'LL LOOK FORWARD TO THEM FIGURING OUT WHERE WE GO FROM THERE WITH THAT LAND AND WHAT WE DO WITH IT. AND IT'S GONNA BE -- IT'S GONNA

BE SOMETHING. >> YES.

>> YEAH. >> DID YOU SPEAK? DID YOU WANT TO SPEAK? NO? OKAY. WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

KATHY, YOU WOULD HAVE TO GO TO THE MICROPHONE AT THE BACK.

YES. THANK YOU, MICHAEL.

>> I'M FAMILIAR WITH CAMACHO. WE'LL LEAVE THAT, BECAUSE -- ANYWAY, ARE YOU GOING TO SAVE ANY -- IS HE GONNA SAVE ANYTHING

FROM THERE? >> THAT'S PART OF THE DEMOLITION CONTRACT AND THE ANTIQUITIES PERMIT FROM THE STATE, AND THERE'S A LIST. THERE'S PHOTOS.

THERE'S PICTURES OF THINGS THAT ARE GONNA -- WE'RE TRYING.

NOW, THERE'S NO GUARANTEE WHEN YOU WORK ON A BUILDING THAT OLD, IF THEY WILL BE ABLE TO SAVE THEM, BUT THERE'S A LIST WE HAVE TURNED IN TO STATE, WHAT WE HOPE TO PRESERVE AND PROTECT.
