>>GRATEFUL FOR YOU TAKING SUCH AN INITIATIVE ON THE STOP THE BLEEDING EFFORT. TO HAVE THESE STATIONS. WE PRAY THAT WE NEVER NEED THEM. BUT, IF WE DID, WE CAN SAVE LIVES. THANK

YOU TIMOTHY. >>THANK YOU TIMOTHY. >>YES-MAN.

>>I ASK YOU TO BRING FOR THE PUBLIC ROSTER AND ALSO TO ASK ALL THOSE ONLINE WHO HAVE JOINED US. IF YOU'D LIKE TO MAKE PUBLIC COMMENT, WOULD YOU PLEASE USE YOUR DIGITAL ICON? THERE IS A HAND ÃÃSORT OF THE VIRTUAL RAISING OF THE HAND AND LET US KNOW AND WE WILL CALL UPON YOU SHORTLY. CUSTOMÁ JEFF LERMAN WILL BE OUR FIRST SPEAKER AND EVEN THOUGH WE KNOW IT'S YOU, WOULD YOU PLEASE ANNOUNCE AGAIN AND ALSO GIVE YOUR ADDRESS FOR THE

CLERK? AND WE WELCOME YOU TO COURT. >>SURE. GOOD MORNING JUDGE.

>>GOOD MORNING. >>GOOD MORNING COMMISSIONERS. MY NAME IS JEFF LIMITED I LIVE AT 56 CLAIREMONT DRIVE. GOOD MORNING EVERYBODY. I AM HERE TODAY IS A PUBLIC COMMENT AND I'M JOINED BY MY COCOUNSEL ADAM FRIEDMAN, WHO IS HEREBY ZOOM. HE WILL MOST LIKELY BE AVAILABLE TO ADDRESS ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS THAT COMMISSIONERS HAVE WHEN THE ITEM GOING TO SPEAK ABOUT IS ON THE AGENDA. WE COLLECTIVELY REPRESENT JOE AND CINDY ABLE.

WHO ARE IN OASIS COUNTY LAND OWNER IN THE LOST COLONY SUBDIVISION, WHICH IS ON 361 TOWARDS PORT ARANSAS. AND THERE IS AN AGENDA HERE ON THE COMMISSIONERS AGENDA TODAY FOR AN AMENDMENT TO AN EXISTING DUNE PROTECTION PERMIT. WE HAVE SOME SERIOUS ISSUES AND CONCERNS RELATED TO THE REDUCTION PERMIT AND THIS IS THE BEST FORM FOR US TO COMMUNICATE THOSE ISSUES TO THE COMMISSIONERS. THAT'S WHY I'M TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THIS PUBLIC COMMENT. I HAVE ALREADY SPOKEN TO THE COUNTY ATTORNEY AND HER STAFF ARE LIMITED TO SOME OF THESE ISSUES. I BELIEVE THAT SHE IS IN A POSITION TO DISCUSS WITH THE COMMISSIONERS SOME MORE SPECIFIC DETAILS. ESSENTIALLY, THE DUNE PROTECTION PERMIT THIS FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION TODAY IS IN THE LOST COLONY SUBDIVISION. AND IT'S FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A RESIDENCE WITH A DUNE WALKOVER. SO, IT'S GOING TO BE JUST AS WITH THE APPLICANT IS ASKING FOR THE COMMISSIONERS TO WALKOVER IS ÃÃTHAT WOULD ALLOW THEM TO USE GOLF CARTS TO AND FROM THE PROPERTY. THE PROBLEM WITH THAT IS TWOFOLD. HE PERMIT WAS DEFECTIVE AS A MATTER OF LAW BECAUSE THERE WAS NO NOTICE PROPERLY GIVEN UNDER THE LAW TO THE ADJACENT LANDOWNERS. WHEN THE ORIGINAL PERMIT WAS FIRST APPROVED. THE SECOND ISSUE IS MATERIA MERITS OF THE PERMIT ITSELF. THERE IS REALLY FROM OUR POSITION, NO NEED FOR THE WALKOVER TO BE CONSTRUCTED ON BECAUSE THERE'S AN EXISTING DUNE WALK THAT'S OVER PLACE THAT FITS THE NEEDS OF THE OWNERS SEEKING TO ACCESS THE BEACH FROM THEIR PROPERTY. WE BELIEVE THAT THE COUNTY, WHEN IT ORIGINALLY APPROVED THE PERMIT LAST YEAR, DID NOT PROPERLY CONSIDERED THE TRUE CONCERNS RELATED TO THE NEED FOR THIS WALKOVER. AND THE FACT THAT THERE WAS AN EXISTING WALKOVER IN PLACE ALREADY. OBVIOUSLY, NOT THE COMMISSIONERS HAVE A LOT OF CONCERN OVER PROTECTING THE DUNES. YOU KNOW, THAT IS ONE OF THE HALLMARKS OF OUR COUNTY AND ONE OF THE FLAGSHIPS OF THE REASONS PEOPLE VISIT HERE IS BECAUSE OF OUR BEACH AND DUNES.

THE COUNTY IS STILL WITHIN A BURDEN TO PROTECT THE DUNES. AND TO PRINT TACT A SAFEGUARD TO THE COMMUNITY AND THE LANDOWNERS THAT LIVE IN AN ADJACENT. SO, OUR POSITION COMMISSIONERS IS THAT SHOULD NEVER BEEN APPROVED BY THE COUNTY BECAUSE THERE WAS NO NOTICE PROVIDED. AND I THINK THAT'S UNDISPUTED. AND THERE WAS ALSO THE CONSIDERATION OF THE HEARING ON WHETHER OR NOT THE PROPOSED WALKOVER WAS INDICATED. AS I INDICATED EARLIER IN MY COMMENTS. MPORTANTLY, IN THE APPLICATION BEFORE YOU, THERE IS LANGUAGE THAT STATES THAT THE COUNTY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE APPLICANT QUOTE DOES NOT WANT TO REMOVE THE DUNE WALKOVER. SO, YOU ARE GOING TO HEAR THAT THEY ORIGINALLY PLANNED THE WALKOVER IS REMOVED FROM THE AMENDMENT THAT'S CONSIDERED TODAY. IT'S REALLY NOT. BECAUSE IF YOU READ CLOSELY AND WATCH BEFORE YOU, THEY ARE RESERVING THE RIGHT TO KEEP THE WALKOVER IN PLACE. SO, OUR POSITION ON THIS MATTER IS THAT WE HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE RESIDENCE. WHICH IS PART OF THE PERMIT APPLICATION BEFORE YOU. THE DUNE WALKOVER IS OBVIOUSLY A CRITICAL PART OF THAT PLANE AND WE DO OBJECT TO THAT AND THINK IT WAS IMPROPERLY SUBMITTED TO THE COMMISSIONERS. IMPROPERLY PERMITTED AND NOW IT'S IMPROPERLY SUBMITTED. SO, ÃÃ THAT IS WHY I'M HERE MAKING THIS PUBLIC COMMENT. AND OUT OF AN ABUNDANCE OF CAUTION, WE ARE INFORMING THE COMMISSIONERS OF THIS CONCERN. THIS IS REALLY OUR ONLY FORM TO DO THAT. OUTSIDE OF THE NORMAL CHANNELS OF LITIGATION. SO, WITH THE CURRENT PERMIT MEANS IS THE EXISTING ROUTE OF THE

[00:10:18]

DUNE WALKOVER REMAINS IMPROPERLY PERMITTED. E ARE ASKING THAT THEY COUNTY AMEND THE PROTECTION PERMIT TO REMOVE THE DUNE WALKOVER. AND THAT'S WHAT WE ARE ASKING THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS TO DO TODAY. TO AMEND AND REMOVE THE WALKOVER. BECAUSE THAT IS IMPROPERLY PERMITTED AND WE BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE IMPROPERLY TRYING TO BOOTSTRAP INTO THEIR TOTAL PERMIT FOR THE PROPERTY. AND SO, WE HAVE TO OBJECT TO THAT END VOICE THOSE CONCERNS. SO THIS COMMISSIONERS UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS A LEGAL ISSUE WITH THE PERMIT. THAT CAN BE REMEDIED. AND THERE IS A PROCEDURAL DEFECT AND THERE'S ALSO A MATERIAL DEFECT. BECAUSE OF THE ISSUES THAT HE TALKED ABOUT BEFORE. THAT THERE IS AN EXISTING WALKOVER AND THAT THE PLAN WALKOVER INTERFERES WITH THE RIGHTS OF THE ADJACENT OWNERS. SO, WE THINK THIS PROBLEM CAN BE CURED. AND WE ARE ASKING THAT THE LEGALLY DEFICIENT PROCESS THAT LED TO THE PERMIT NOT BE REWARDED TODAY. WE ANTICIPATE THAT THE APPLICANT WILL STATE ON THE RECORD THAT THEY ARE COMFORTABLE WITH MOVING THE DUNE WALKOVER. I AM NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THAT STATEMENT ALONE. BECAUSE OF THE PERMIT IS APPROVED, AS SUBMITTED TO THE COMMISSIONERS, IT'S GOING TO INCLUDE THE WALKOVER. JUST THEN REPRESENTING THAT THEY'RE GOING TO REMOVE IT FROM OUR POSITION IS INADEQUATE.

DOESN'T REALLY PROVIDE US WITH THE NECESSARY SAFEGUARDS THAT THEY WILL EVENTUALLY CONSTRUCTED. BECAUSE THEY HAVE A PERMIT APPROVING IT. SO, WE, WE WANT TO MAKE THE COMMISSIONERS AWARE OF THAT AND I DO KNOW THAT THIS IS A HEAVY AGENDA. SO, ONE AT THE MAKO PUBLIC COMMENTS IN THE BEGINNING BECAUSE OF MUCH ON THIS ITEM WILL BE CALLED. LIKE I SAID, MY COCOUNSEL ADAM FRIEDMAN, IS A LAWYER OUT OF AUSTIN, HE'S ON ZOOM. WHEN HIS ITEM IS CALLED, I UNDERSTAND THAT WE HAVE MORE INTERACTIVE PROCESS WHEN THE ITEM IS ACTUALLY CALLED. SO, HOPEFULLY WE CAN ADDRESS SPECIFIC QUESTIONS AT THAT TIME.

>>ME JUST REMIND THE AUDIENCE THE PUBLIC COMMENT, ALTHOUGH ACTUALLY I WOULD LIKE TO LOOK THIS UP JENNY, BECAUSE I NOTICED ON THE CITY'S COUNSEL AGENDAS, THEY ALWAYS ACTUALLY STATE THAT THERE ARE THREE THINGS THAT YOU CAN SAY IN RESPONSE AND PUBLIC COMMENT.

NOTICE THAT THEY NOTICED THAT. IT'S INTERESTING. WE TYPICALLY HAVE A PATTERN AND PRACTICE OF NOT SAYING ANYTHING AND WE INVITE PEOPLE TO STAY LATER FOR THE ACTUAL COMMENTARY. THE ONLY THING I WANT TO MAKE SURE AND MAYBE THE CLERK GOT IT. I MISSED IT. COULD YOU PLEASE STATE AGAIN WHO YOU REPRESENT AND THE NATURE OF THEIR CONNECTION TO YOU FOR THE

RECORD? >>SURE JUDGE. I ALONG WITH ADAM FRIEDMAN THE PRESENT JOE AND CINDY ABLE. ABE L. I'M SORRY. JOE AND CINDY ABLE. MY WIFE DIDN'T SPEAK LOUD ENOUGH

FOR ME. JOE AND CINDY ABLE. >>JOE AND CINDY ABLE. >>THE ITEM I BELIEVE IS A 17.

>>A 17. I NOTED THAT. >>THAT'S THE ITEM WE ARE WAITING FOR.

>>THEY RESIDENTS? >>I DID NOT ANSWER YOUR SECOND QUESTION BUT THEY ARE RESIDENTS

IN THE LOST COLONY SUBDIVISION. >>THAT'S WHAT HE WROTE ON.

GOOD. YOU HAVE ANY PREPARED Ã ÃA LETTER OR DOCUMENTATION THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SUBMIT

TO THE COURT AT THIS TIME OR NOT? >>I HAVE PREVIOUSLY SUBMITTED TO MS. DORSEY AND CORRESPONDENCE RELATED TO THIS ISSUE. SO, HER OFFICE SHOULD HAVE THAT. IF I COULD JUST ASK FOR CLARIFICATION, IS THE APPLICANT PRESENT TODAY? WILL

THE APPLICANT BE HERE FOR THIS Ã⌟ >>

[INAUDIBLE] >>LET ME SEE WHAT I CAN DO ABOUT ADVANCING. GIVE ME A

LITTLE BIT THOUGH. >>OR, BECAUSE OF THE LEGAL POTENTIAL LEGAL QUESTIONS.

>>OF COURSE I WANT TO GO TO EXECUTIVE SESSION. >>MS. DORSEY MIGHT NOT HAVE EVEN HAD A CHANCE TO ADDRESS. DO WE TABLE THIS SO THAT SHE CAN LOOK AT THE ALLEGATIONS?

>>I'M NOT TRYING TO STALL OR ANYTHING. >>NOT A PROBLEM FOR THE APPLICANT ALSO HAS A RIGHT TO PROVIDE COMMENT GIVEN THAT WE'VE GIVEN JEFF THE

OPPORTUNITY AS WELL. >>I'M GOING TO AGREE WITH YOU AND ALSO INVITE THE APPLICANT TO SIGN UP FOR PUBLIC COMMENT AT THIS TIME. SO THAT WE HAVE ALL THE NATURE OF THE

INFORMATION. AND THEN WE CAN ALWAYS TABLE AT THAT POINT. >>I THINK THAT WOULD BE THE

BEST. BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH IT. >>HAVE ASKED WHETHER OR NOT THERE'S ANY TIME SENSITIVITY TO HAVE THAT BE REVEALED. AGAIN, WE SAY TOO MUCH. WE ARE STILL PUBLIC COMMENT. LET ME MOVE FORWARD. IF THAT CONCLUDES YOUR COMMENTS, I WILL EXCUSE

YOU AND THEN ASK Ã¦ OKAY. >>ALL HANG AROUND JUDGE, IN CASE YOU DECIDE TO ADDRESS THE

SITUATION. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. >>I'M GONNA HANG THIS BACK TO TYNER AND EVEN THOUGH MR. DURRELL IS NEXT, IN THE INTEREST OF KEEPING IT CONSISTENTLY FLOWING, I'M GOING TO HAVE THEM GO AFTER THIS GENTLEMAN. JUST MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE THE CONSISTENCY OF THE CONVERSATION OF PUBLIC COMMENT. OTHERWISE WE WILL BE CHANGING

[00:15:11]

SUBJECT MATTERS I FEAR. MR. CRAIG THOMPSON, WELCOME. >>WELCOME. CRAIG THOMPSON REPRESENTING THE LANDOWNER FOR WHICH WE ARE REQUESTING THE DUNE PERMIT LANDOWNER. I WANT TO GIVE A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND OF WHY WE ARE HERE FOR THIS. THERE IS A PERMIT BACK IN THE SUMMER AND EARLY SUMMER OF 2020. THAT WAS APPROVED. MR. LERMAN MENTIONED THAT NOTICE WAS NOT GIVEN. WE DID GIVE NOTICE. HE LETTER WAS ACTUALLY INTO THE HOA OFFICE. SINCE THEN WE HAVE GOTTEN CLARIFICATION OF FROM THE FOLKS AND COASTAL PORTS WE HAVE NOT STARTED TO SEND THOSE LETTERS OUT TO THE CONDO OWNERS. OUT THERE. TO THEIR HOME ADDRESSES. SO, NOTICE WAS GIVEN DURING THE ORIGINAL PERMIT. THE ORIGINAL PERMIT WAS APPROVED. WITH THE REAR BUILDING LINE AT THE 350 FOOT BUILDING LINE. WHICH IS TYPICAL FOR PROJECTS HERE IN OASIS COUNTY. WHAT HAPPENED IN THE MEANTIME IS HURRICANE PANIC CAME AND TOOK AWAY A GOOD 40 OR 50 FEET OF THE DUNE. THE 350 FOOT BUILDING LINE IS BASED ON THE VEGETATION LINE. SO, WHEN HURRICANE HANNAH CAME TO GET THOSE STUDENTS, AND MOVE THAT VEGETATION LINE A SIGNIFICANT WAYS LANDWARD. AND SO, WHEN WE WENT FOR A BEACHFRONT CONSTRUCTION CERTIFICATE, WHICH IS WHAT WE HAVE TO DO WITH THE CITY OF CURB CORPUS DURING THIS PROCESS TO BUILD A STRUCTURES WITHIN THE DUNE PROTECTION ZONE, WE HAVE TO ÃÃTHAT PROCESS TO GET THE BCC THROUGH THE CITY OF CORPUS ACTUALLY HAPPENED AFTER HANNAH. IN ORDER TO GET THE BCC, WE HAD TO DO AN AMENDMENT ACTUALLY SHOWED THE HOME WITHIN THE SAME LOCATION CAME WITH THE PERMIT BACK IN EARLY SUMMER OF 2020. BUT BECAUSE THE 350 FOOT LINE HAD MOVED LANDWARD, KEEPING THE HOME IN THE SAME PLACE REQUIRED AN AMENDMENT. THAT'S WITH THIS AMENDMENT WAS FOR. SO, WE HAVE STARTED THE PROCESS WITH THE CITY WITH THE BCC. STARTED A VARIANCE WITH THEM SHOWING THE NEED THAT HOME TO BE WITHIN THE 350 FOOT LINE. WE HAD LETTERS FROM HOA BEACH US STATE SUPPORTING THIS PRINTER TO HOMES BUILT. TWO OF THE FOUR BEACHFRONT LOTS HAVE HOME LINES THE BUILDING LINES EXACTLY WHERE WERE TRYING TO PUT THE REAR BUILDING LINE WITH THE STRUCTURE. SO WE WENT WITH AMENDMENT WOULD BCC AT THE MOMENT AND THE TIME MOM ASSERTED THAT PROCESS WITH THE CITY, WE STARTED TO UNDERSTAND THAT THERE WAS A CONCERN ABOUT THE DUNE WALKOVER THAT WAS ALSO PLANTED AND PERMITTED.

T THAT TIME, AND THE BCC SAID WITH THE CITY OF CORPUS REQUIRES FROM YOU IN ORDER TO BOOK ANY STRUCTURES WITHIN THE PROTECTION ZONE. AT THAT TIME, THE BCC THAT WE GOT WITH THE CITY HAD STIPULATIONS WITH IT THAT ONLY THE HOME AND THE AMENITIES WITHIN THE HOME WERE TO BE ALLOWED WITH THIS BCC. SO, THE BCC, THE BULLY CONSTRUCTION ÃJUST SORRY, BOATING BEACHFRONT CONSTRUCTION CERTIFICATE THAT WE HAD WITH THE CITY, WHICH IS WHAT YOU HAVE TO HAVE TO BUILD SOMETHING OUT THERE, IS ONLY FOR THE HOME. NOT FOR THE DUNE WALKOVER. WE HAVE THIS STIPULATIONS WITHIN THE BCC. THE AMENDMENT THAT WE HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU IS AN AMENDMENT TO AN ALREADY APPROVED PERMIT. THE AMENDMENT DOES CARRY THE STIPULATION WITHIN THE PERMIT THAT TO INCLUDE A DUNE WALKOVER BUT WE DO NOT HAVE A BCC TO BUILD A DUNE WALKOVER. E MADE THAT CLEAR DURING THE BCC PROCESS WITH THE CITY. IN THE MEANTIME, MR. LERMAN FORGOT TO MENTION OR CONVENIENTLY FORGOT TO MENTION THAT THERE'VE BEEN CONVERSATIONS WITH THE FIVE OWNERS OF CONDOS THAT LOST COLONY THAT BORDER THE NORTHERN PROPERTY LINE OF THIS PROPERTY. THEY'VE ACTUALLY TALKED ABOUT AND FROM MY UNDERSTANDING AS RECENTLY AS YESTERDAY HAVE AGREED POSSIBLE LOCATION FOR THE DUNE WALKOVER TO GO ON THIS OTHER ONE. THE SOUTHERN PROPERTY LINE OF THIS BEACH OF STATES. SO, WHAT WE HAVE THIS WE HAVE AN AGREEMENT MAMA BUT WE DO NOT HAVE IT WITHIN THIS AMENDMENT. UNFORTUNATELY WE DO HAVE SOMEONE WHO'S WANTING TO BUILD THE HOME, NOT A DUNE WALKOVER. NEEDS THIS AMENDMENT TO MOVE FORWARD TO COMPLETE THE ENTIRE PROCESS THAT HE STARTED. BACK IN THE SPRING OF 2020.

>>WE ARE NOT AND I WANT TO CLARIFY THAT WE ARE NOT BUILDING A DUNE WALKOVER AT THIS TIME. HIS WITHIN THE PERMIT, BUT WE DO NOT HAVE A BCC TO DO THAT. WE WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO COME BACK AND DO AN AMENDMENT IF THE HOMEOWNERS AND LOST COLONY AND IF OUR

[00:20:01]

HOMEOWNER AND THE HOMEOWNER ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THIS PROPERTY WHEN I AGREE TO A NEW DUNE WALKOVER ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE PROPERTY LIKE THE WHO WOULD LIKE TO COME AND GET AMENDMENT TO DO THAT TO REPLACE THE DUNE WALKOVER THERE. WANT TO JUST ONE OF THE THINKER THE EXISTING DUNE WALKOVER, WHEN WE DID THAT 15 YEARS AGO, NUECES COUNTY HAD AN UNWRITTEN RULE ABOUT NOT ALLOWING GOLF CARTS ON THE BEACH. SO, WE WERE REQUIRED AT THE TIME TO PUT A 90 DEGREE TURN ON THAT DUNE WALKOVER. IT'S FOUR FEET WIDE. THE DUNE WALKOVER WILL NOT ACCOMMODATE GOLF CARTS. AND SO, WITH THIS HOMEOWNER WOULD LIKE TO DO IS PUT A DUNE WALKOVER FOR THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY AND TO BE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE GOLF CARTS. SO, THAT'S ALL I HAVE.

>>THANK YOU. >>HOPEFULLY THAT CLARIFIES SOME THINGS. I CAN FIGURE OUT IF YOU COULDN'T ASK SOME QUESTIONS PRESENTED THAT MIGHT NOT BE A LOT OF PUBLIC COMMENT.

>>THANK YOU. >>WERE GOING TO BE DOING A LOT OF MANEUVERING TODAY TO ACCOMMODATE DIFFERENT SCHEDULES AND SO, I WOULD INVITE YOU TO STAY.

>>JUDGE, JUST NOT AS A RESPONSE TO THEM, I THINK I CAN DO THIS. MY THOUGHT WOULD BE HERE THAT MAY BE BEFORE I MAKE A MOTION AT THE TABLE, MAYBE THEY CAN GO OUTSIDE AND TALK AND SEE IF THERE'S ANY WAY THERE IS SOME SATISFACTORY WAY THAT THEY COULD COME TO AN AGREEMENT AND THAT JENNY COULD BLESS IT. I KNOW THAT ON THE SPOT, BUT WE ARE GOING TO BE HERE ALL DAY.

>>IF YOU WOULD JUST GIVE ME A CHANCE. WE BRING UP THE ITEMS THAT YOU CAN REPEAT. WE JUST SAY I REMEMBER EVERYTHING OF WHAT YOU SAID. I HAVE TO CLOSE PUBLIC COMMENT FIRST. I STILL

SOMEBODY SIGNED UP. >>I UNDERSTAND. I UNDERSTAND. AS THEY SAY, YOU ARE JUST TALKING OUT HERE. T IS NOT A FORMAL RESPONSE, BUT WE GOT YOU.

>>CORRECT. OKAY. >>AT THIS TIME, I DO HAVE BURRELL DORAL NEXT. ON THE SIGN-UP SHEET. I WOULD INVITE ANYBODY ONLINE. I DON'T HAVE ANYBODY ONLINE AFTER MR. DORAL.

IF THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO LET US KNOW, WE CAN SIGN YOU UP. I HAVE SEEN NOBODY ONLINE.

WELCOME. >>THANK YOU. >>BILL DORAL, 302 CLAREMORE.

3012. IT WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT THE COUNTY WAS CONSIDERING BUILDING ANOTHER AMPHITHEATER OUT IN THE FAIRGROUNDS. AND YESTERDAY AFTERNOON, I EMAILED TYNER AND HE FORWARDED IT TO EVERYBODY. WE RECEIVED THE LAWSUIT AGAINST OASIS COUNTY. 15 YEARS AGO WHENEVER YOU ALL TRIED TO DO THAT THE FIRST TIME. AND THEN THAT LAWSUIT AT THE STATES CERTAIN PROVISIONS THAT I DON'T BELIEVE HAVE BEEN ADHERED TO AND I WOULD LIKE FOR THE COUNTY COURT TO REVIEW THAT LAWSUIT CONSIDER IT AND TAKE INTO ACCOUNT YOUR FUTURE DREAMS OF PLUMBING AMPHITHEATER. IN ROB'S TOWN. IF ANYBODY WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO OWN AND MANAGE AN AMPHITHEATER IN CORPUS CHRISTI TEXAS, PRIVATELY WITHOUT PUBLIC FUNDS, I'M RIGHT HERE. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS ANYBODY WOULD LIKE TO ASK ME ABOUT MY PERSONAL

OPINION ABOUT THE BIBLE OF AN AMPHITHEATER IN ROB'S TOWN? >>SO THERE WOULD BE IN THE

PUBLIC COMMENT, MY PHONE NUMBER IS 261884, 8857. >>GOT IT. THANK YOU SIR.

>>YOU ARE WELCOME. >>JUDGE I WOULD JUST ASK THAT WE ADVANCE THE ITEM SO THAT HE CAN BE AVAILABLE AND ANYONE ELSE WHO WANTS TO BE AVAILABLE. REGARDING THE ITEM.

>>I CANNOT DO THAT BECAUSE THE COMMISSIONER WHO REPRESENTS THAT IS Ã¦

>>ARE WE GONNA VOTE ON THAT? >>IS A DISCUSSION TODAY. I CAN'T REALLY COMMENT. IF YOU

HANG ON AND GIVE ME CHANCE TO Ã ¦ >>THAT'S FINE. I'M NOT SAYING I'M JUST SAYING TO WAIT WHICH IT COULD BE SIX HOURS FROM NOW.

>>I'LL TAKE THAT UNDER ADVISEMENT. >>I'LL BRING UNDER ADVISEMENT.

>> [INDISCERNIBLE] >>IF YOU BE PATIENT WITH ME, WHAT I'M GONNA DO IS CLOSE PUBLIC COMMENT. THERE IS NOBODY AFTER YOU AND WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO IS MOVE TO WHAT WE CALL A PUBLIC HEARING, BECAUSE THAT IS A OPPORTUNITY.

WE NOTICE AND IT NEEDS TO BE AT A CERTAIN TIME.. I'LL TAKE A 5 TO 10 MINUTE RECESS. IF YOU BE PATIENT AND WAIT FOR ME, WHO WILL COME AND VISIT WITH YOU JUST TO GET YOU UP TO SPEED.

BECAUSE I THINK THAT WE CAN ONLY SOME OF THE FEARS THAT I HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY ÃÃLET'S

[00:25:01]

PUT IT THAT WAY. I CAN ONLY ERASE SOME OF THE FEARS. IF THAT MEETS EVERYBODY'S APPROVAL, I WILL MOVE ON TO ASK ONCE AGAIN IF THERE'S ANYBODY ELSE FOR PUBLIC COMMENT.

>>JUST TO SLIGHTLY ALTER WHAT YOU SAID ÃÃBECAUSE HE IS WILL THERE BE ANY VOTES TODAY? I DO PLAN ON MAKING A MOTION AND CALLING FOR A VOTE. I WILL MAKE SURE THAT THAT'S CLEARLY

ARTICULATED. >>AGAIN, WE WILL HAVE THAT. THIS CAN BE BROUGHT UP IN EXECUTIVE SESSION COULD LET'S SEE WHAT HAPPENS IN EXECUTIVE SESSION.

>>I'M NOT ASKING FOR AN EXECUTIVE SESSION. I'VE ASKED MY QUESTION ON THE EXECUTIVE SESSION. I DON'T IN EXECUTIVE SESSION. IF YOU DO FOR SOMETHING ELSE, THIS DESPERATE ACT AND NEED A LEGAL ISSUE AND IT WAS BROUGHT UP. I WILL BE MAKING CERTAIN THAT WE HAVE OUR LEGAL REPRESENTATION. AT ANY RATE, LET'S DISCUSS THE WANTED RIGHT AND TIME. ONCE BROUGHT

[F. PUBLIC HEARING (Nueces County and Nueces County Hospital District budgets) The Commissioners Court will conduct a public hearing on the proposed 2021-2022 Nueces County and Nueces County Hospital District budgets. CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING RECONVENE MEETING]

HEARING PORTION. THIS IS BOTH REALLY INFORMATIONAL AS WE PREPARE LATER IN THE AGENDA TO SET OUR TAX RATE AND ADOPT OUR BUDGET. AT THIS TIME, I WILL CALL UPON OUR AUDITOR IN TAKE NEWS THAT THIS COMMISSIONERS COURT CURRENTLY OPENING A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE PROPOSED 2020 JANUARY 20, 2022 NUECES COUNTY AND LACES COUNTY HOSPITAL DIGIT BUDGETS. I WILL

YIELD TO DELL. >>THIS IS A REPEAT OF THE PUBLIC HEARING ON SEPTEMBER 1.

WE COULD DO THE PRESENTATION AGAIN AGAIN, THESE ARE ONLY PROPOSED NUMBERS AS YOU MENTIONED. THIS WOULD BE ON AGENDA ITEMS LATER FOR DISCUSSION ON APPROVE WALMART REACH WE JUST DECIDE. THESE ARE JUST THE PROPOSED RATES AND THE WE CANNOT GO ANY HIGHER THAN WHAT'S ON THIS LIST. SO, THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS ON SEPTEMBER 1. THE NEXT PAGES OF THE ITEM THAT WILL BE DISCUSSION, WHICH IS THE PROPOSED TAX RATE. THE EXEMPTIONS THAT THE COUNTY HAS AS WELL AS THE LARGER CITY AND INFLUENCES WITHIN THE COUNTY.

IT WOULD GIVE YOU HISTORICAL TREND ON HOW TAX RATES AND REVENUE HAVE GONE. THERE ARE REVENUE SOURCES COME FROM AND WHERE EXPENSES COME FROM. AND WHAT POTENTIAL FUTURE IMPACTS THAT WE HAVE IN THE NEAR FUTURE. CONNECT THE NEXT SLIDE PLEASE? UR PROPOSED RATES ARE WHAT'S ON HERE. CURRENTLY DURING TAX RATE, WE'RE UNDER THE MOMENT IS THE VERY TOP RATE. THAT'S OUR CURRENT TAX RATE. AS THE TAX RATE FOR THE GENERAL FUND. OUR DEBT SERVICE RATE IN THE IS CURRENTLY .311 14.83 PER EVALUATION. OUR CALCULATIONS FOR WITH THE NEW VALUATIONS ARE NO NEW TAX RATE, WHICH IS A FIXED RATE WHICH IS .298982 FOR $100 EVALUATION. AS YOU MENTIONED, THE CURRENT PROPOSAL RATE IS THE SAME AS THE LAST CURRENT YEAR. AS .83113 PER IN NORMAL EVALUATION. AND WE PROPOSED A HOSPITAL RATE AT 115601, WHICH IS EIGHT PERCENT ABOVE THE NEW REVENUE TAX PER THAT WILL BE COMING IN A LOWER RATE ONCE WE COME HOME TO THAT DISCUSSION. THE NEXT SLIDE SHOWS YOU WITH THE EXEMPTION OF THE COUNTY THAT IS OFTEN PREFER THE COUNTY HOSPITAL IS THE SAME EXEMPTIONS. IF YOU HAVE A HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION, IF 20 PERCENT OF YOUR VALUE WITH A MINIMAL OF $5000 PER HOMESTEAD.

IF YOU'RE OVER 65 OR DISABLED, YOUR EXEMPTION IS NOT 62,500 FOR BOTH AND DISABLED. THE CITY CORPUS CHRISTI ÃÃIN DELMAR WOULD PICK THE TWO LARGEST ENTITIES AND THE COUNTY FOR COMPARISON IF YOU LIVE IN ROB'S TOWN OR DRISCOLL. OR YOUR CITY AND SCHOOL DISTRICT MCCOOL DIFFERENT FROM THIS. THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE FOR THE MAJOR AND FOR THE CITY. 10 PERCENT OF YOUR HOMESTEAD VALUE WITH THE MINIMUM OF 5000. AGAIN, 50,000 FOR THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. THEY WERE ONE TIME $25,000 EXEMPTION FOR HOMESTEAD. AND IF YOU'RE OVER 65 AND DISABLED AT THE $60,000 EACH. FOR DELMAR COLLEGE, FEARING THE DELMAR COLLEGE DISTRICT, THERE'S FIVE HOMESTEAD EXEMPTIONS AND OVER 65 DISABLED IS 50,000 EACH.

THAT IS OUR EXEMPTION. THERE ARE OTHERS IN THE COUNTY THAT MIGHT HAVE EMERGENCY SERVICE FOR DRAINAGE DISTRICT AND THOSE NOT SHOWN HERE. THEY ARE VERY SMALL IF WE HAVE SOME FOR LUST?

[00:30:02]

THE NEXT LIST WILL SHOW YOU OUR CURRENT TAX RATE FOR THE COUNTY ONLY. THIS IS WHERE WE STARTED BACK IN 2005 AND 2006. YOU CAN SEE THAT WE ARE AT A POINT 04. YOU CAN SEE WE'VE BEEN GOING DOWN TO THE NEXT TWO YEARS UNTIL WE REACH 2000 SEVEN AND 2008. WHEN WE LEVELED OUT FOR SEVERAL YEARS. SO THE CLIENT UNTIL 2018. THAT'S WHEN THE MARKET GOT HIT WITH ALL THE HOUSING CRISIS THAT WE HAD. HAD TO GO UP SLIGHTLY. FROM THIS POINT FORWARD, WE ARE MAINTAINING THE CURRENT TAX RATE AT.311. NEXT SLIDE? THIS IS OUR HOSPITAL DISTRICT. OUR HOSPITAL DISTRICT IS UP.175. FOR 2006 HAS GONE UP AND DOWN SLIGHTLY BECAUSE OF HOW THEIR FLUCTUATIONS GOES WELL THE EVALUATIONS GO. THEY BEEN GOING DOWN AND DOWN UNTIL WE'VE REACHED THE CURRENT YEAR AND GOING SLIGHTLY UP AND THIS IS HIGHER THAN WHAT WE I KNOW WE WILL BE SUBMITTING FOR APPROVAL. THIS IS WITH THE PROPOSAL WAS. THE NEXT SLIDE SHOWS YOU THE COMBINED TAX RATE. THE COUNTY AS WELL AS THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT COMBINED.

AND IN 2005 IN 2006 WE SAW.579. SAME AREA THAT WE SAW BOTH IN THE COUNTY AND HOSPITAL DISTRICT. WELL DOWN AND A LITTLE BIT COMING BACK DOWN TOWARDS WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW.

I .427 PROPOSED. AND HOSPITAL COMES IN THE NOTE WHAT THEY WILL BE ASKING FOR A .423 WHEN WE FINALLY FINISHED THE NUMBERS. REVENUE GENERATION IS ALSO SOME REVENUE. IT'S OUR DEBT SERVICE FUND FOR THE YEAR OF 2021. YOU WILL SEE WE ARE AT 101 MILLION HAS GONE UP FROM 65 IN 2012 TO 2013 YEAR. THE MANY IMPORTANT YOU WILL SEE IS THE FUND BALANCES. YOU SEE THE LITTLE TARGET LEVELS. OUR TARGET LEVEL XXV PERCENT OF OUR BUDGET REVENUE INCLUDING OUR TRANSFERS. THAT'S WHERE WE TRY TO MAINTAIN OUR FUND BALANCE ADD. YOU WILL SEE FOR 14, 15, 16 WE ARE ABOVE THAT LEVEL. LARGE EXPENSES IN 2017 BECAUSE OF SOME EQUIPMENT THAT WITH THE PURCHASE AND HAD TO BE DONE AT THE END OF THE ROOM WE SAW A DECREASE IN OUR FUND BALANCE.

WE BEEN GRADUALLY INCREASING THE FUND BALANCE BY TORT TARGET LEVEL. OUR ESTIMATES CALLED OUT TO BE TRUE, WE PLAN TO EXCEED OUR TARGET 2021 BY AT LEAST $2 MILLION.

>>THAT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE I THINK. THEY SAY THAT THERE'S A SLIDE THAT TELLS A STRONG FISCAL STORY. DESPITE OUR CHALLENGES UPCOMING. UP UNTIL THIS COVID-19 DECIDED TO DO A BIG NUMBER ON US. THIS 27.459 MILLION EXCEEDING THE 25 PERCENT IS WHAT WE REALLY NEEDED TO DO AS A COUNTY AND THIS REPRESENTS A TREMENDOUS FISCAL STORY.

>>THESE ARE ESTIMATED NUMBERS, BUT EVERYTHING I SEE WILL BE DEFINITELY AT OR ABOVE THE 25 TARGET LEVEL AT THE END OF THE YEAR WHEN WE DO OUR FINAL REPORTS. OUR NEXT SLIDE SHOWS YOU WHAT WOULD BE THE VALUE OF A ÃÃTHE AVERAGE VALUE OF A PROPERTY HOME AND CURRENTLY 2021. OUR CURRENT AVERAGE VALUE WAS 140,011 WITHIN THE AREA. AT THE CURRENT TAX RATE WE HAD .423307 WHICH IS OUR CURRENT RATE. IT IS IN THE AREA PAID $559.02. IF WE GO TO THE PROPOSED RATES, THIS IS HIGHER FOR THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT, BUT THE SAME FOR THE COUNTY IF WE COULD'VE.42784. THE AVERAGE HOUSE IS NOW HUNDRED AND 49,009 79, WHICH IS A SLICE SLIGHT INCREASE OVER $40,000. YOU SEE THE VALUE OF THE TAX LEVY WILL BE $640 OR Ã ÃON THE AVERAGE HOME VALUE. NEXT SLIDE. IT'S GOOD TO KNOW THAT WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE TAX PAYERS REALIZED THAT THE TEXTURE OF YOUR HOME IS NOT JUST A COUNTY. BROUGHT UP OF MANY, MANY AREAS. WE IS THE LARGEST TAX ENTITIES AND SOME OF YOU MIGHT HAVE A FEW TAX ENTITIES WITHIN THE AREA BECAUSE OF THE EMERGENCY SERVICE IN YOUR DISTRICTS.

THIS THE MAIN PORTION OF THE CITY. THIS IS THE BIGGEST ONE IS THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AT 48 PERCENT. CORPUS CHRISTI IS A 24.6 PERCENT. THE COUNTY 11 AT .9 IN THE GENERAL FUND ROAD FUND AND SERVICE FUND. DELMAR COLLEGE AND HOSPITAL DISTRICT TO MAKE THE BALANCES. NOW THE IMPORTANT THING WHERE THE MONEY COMES FROM FOR THE COUNTY. THIS IS THE ENTIRE COUNTY.

THIS PERMIT THE MONEY FROM AND 48 PERCENT OF OUR TOTAL REVENUE COMES FROM PROPERTY TAX. THE REMAINING 35 PERCENT REVENUE REVENUE THAT IS A GRANT RECEIVED. CONTINUATION OF MONEY WE'VE RECEIVED FROM OTHER GOVERNMENT ENTITIES WERE WE RECEIVED FROM THE STATE OR OTHER COUNTIES. OR ANY OTHER THAT WE HAVE IN THE AREA. AND THAT'S THE MAIN PORTION OF IT.

THE NEXT ONE IS THE SERVICES AND CHARGES FOR SERVICES. ND THAT'S BASICALLY YOUR

[00:35:03]

CONSTABLE SIEGE OR COURT FEES. THE OTHER FEES THAT WE DO TO PROVIDE SERVICE TO THE COUNTY.

AND AS FOR THE BALANCES COME FROM. THE NEXT ONE IS WHERE WE SHARE WITH THE MONEY GOES. AND AS MOST VIEWED LARGER ENTITIES, YOUR BIGGEST EXPENSE IS PAYROLL. PAYROLL FOR THE ENTIRE COUNTY IS 76,000,000.5. THE NEXT HIGHEST ONE IS FOR 9 MILLION AND THAT'S YOUR OTHER SERVICE CHARGES AND THAT'S WHERE OUR INTEREST COST COMES FROM. OUR RENT COST COMES FROM AND OTHER MISCELLANEOUS CHARGES THAT WE HAVE FOR SERVICES THAT WE HAVE. THAT'S WHY IT'S THE LARGEST. YOU SEE A BREAKDOWN OF THE SERVICES THERE PER THAT MAKE UP THE BALANCE OF HOW WE SPEND THOSE FUNDS. NOW, WE HAVE SOME ITEMS THAT HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN OUR CURRENT BUDGET THAT IS IN FRONT OF YOU TODAY. WHEN WE GO TO THE PROPOSED BUDGET. FIRST FEW AS OUR REQUIRED ENTRIES THAT HAVE HAD TO BE INCLUDED. AND THAT'S WE HAVE AN AGREEMENT WITH OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT, WHICH IS OUR CONSTABLE INSURANCE OFFICE ASSOCIATION. SURE THEY HAVE IT IN THEIR AGREEMENT AND A SLIGHT INCREASE IN SALARY. FOR THIS YEAR, THAT EQUATES TO 383,621.

A PERSONAL POLICY HAS A CONTINUOUS PAYING FOR EVERY THREE YEARS A EMPLOYEE WOULD GET A SMALL INCREASE IN SALARY BY TWO AND HALF PERCENT. FOR THIS YEAR, TO HUNDRED AND 48 EMPLOYEES. FIVE ELECTED AND THREE DEPARTMENTS FOR A COST OF 161,008 90. BECAUSE OF THE RECOVERING AREAS AND OUR INTEREST RATES ARE VERY LOW FOR THE MONEY THAT WE PUT INTO TRY TO EARN MONEY, SAME THING FOR RETIREMENT SYSTEM. OUR RETIREMENT SYSTEM HAD TO HAVE A SLIGHT INCREASE FROM 13.8 TO 14.24 PERCENT THAT THE CABBY CONTRIBUTES. SO, THAT CONSTITUTES AN INCREASE OF $405,085 FOR AN INCREASE IN OUR RETIREMENT CONTRIBUTIONS. WE ARE ABLE TO SEE A SMALL REDUCTION OF WORKER'S COMPENSATION IN THE PAST AND WE CHANGE THEIR COMPANIES TO ANOTHER COMPANY. AND THE RATES DID GO UP. AND HOWEVER WHEN WE CHANGE IN COMPANIES, THE SIZE WENT DOWN ON ME NEVER JUST A DEVICE TAMPERED WE ARE NOT TAKEN AND THE CONSIDERATION. DURING THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR THE DEPARTMENTS CAME FORWARD IN DESPERATE NEED FOR ADDITIONAL STAFF. AND THOSE EQUATES ABOUT 260,004 21. THE NEXT FEW ITEMS ARE DEFINITELY SOMETHING THAT ARE CURRENTLY IN THE BUDGET AND CAN BE DISCUSSED. A PROVIDE YOU A LIST OF EACH OF THESE AND WHISPERED SO THAT WE CAN TALK ABOUT THIS WHEN THE BUDGET COMES UP. HOWEVER, FOR NOW, WE HAVE A LIMITED NUMBER OF POSITIONS FOR THE GENERAL FUND.

AND THAT EQUATES TO 84,068. SMALL RECLASSIFICATION OF $38,509. AND WE ARE TRANSFERRING SOME EMPLOYEES FROM THE FUND INTO THE GENERAL FUND BECAUSE OF THE NEED AND THE DA IS WILLING TO CONTRIBUTE 320,000 OF THE 344,000 TO OFFSET THAT ADDITIONAL TRANSFER. THE NEXT ITEM IS OUR FISCAL IMPACT. AS WE KNOW, WE ARE UNDER REVENUE OF THE SENATE BILL TWO YEARS AGO WHEN THEY LEGISLATOR PASSED THE VALUE. WE ARE 3 AND A HALF PERCENT INCREASE ABOVE A REVENUE TAX. WE ARE A LIMITED NUMBER OF WHAT WE CAN BRING IN REVENUE. WE ARE STILL DEALING WITH OUR FISCAL IMPACT OF OUR COVID-19 STILL WORKING ON VACCINATION.

WE'RE STILL WORKING ON TESTING AND OTHER COSTS. TRYING TO GET THIS COUNTY IN THE CITY AND THE STATE ALL RUNNING AGAIN. IT MIGHT TAKE A WHILE TO DO THIS. SO THERE WILL DEFINITELY BE A FISCAL IMPACT. THAT IS OUR PUBLIC HEARING FOR OUR BUDGET ITEM. AS WE SAID, IF TWO ITEMS ON THE AGENDA FOR TODAY. THAT WOULD BE OUR TAX RATE AND OUR PROPOSED BUDGET. AS WELL AS HE SHOULD BE HERE SOON TO COVER THE HOSPITAL ISSUES AS WELL. THAT'S THE END OF THE PUBLIC

HEARING. >>THANKS SO MUCH. COMMISSIONERS, ALTHOUGH IT IS A REPEAT, SOMETIMES THINGS WILL STRIKE YOU DIFFERENTLY. OR THERE WILL BE A NEW QUESTION.

ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME FOR DEALT WITH REGARDING THE SUBJECT MATTER THAT HE IS

GONE OVER? >>JUDGE, ONE ON A PERSONAL NOTE OF MINE.

>>OKAY. >>BECAUSE I WANT TO CLARIFY FOR THE RECORD.

>>AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. IF THERE'S SOMETHING I NEED TO DO TODAY TO CORRECT IT. I'VE REPEATEDLY FILED AFFIDAVITS INDICATING THAT I DO NOT WISH TO TAKE MY RAISES AND SALARY HAS REMAINED THE SAME. AS IT HAS SINCE I WAS ELECTED INTO OFFICE AND YET IT WAS POINTED OUT TO ME BECAUSE OF THE BUDGETING LAWS OR SOMETHING THAT NATURE. I GUESS I WAS ON A THREE YEAR ROTATION THIS YEAR. TWO GET A RAISE AND SO IT WAS POSTED IN I GOT AN AFFIDAVIT ON FILE SAYING THAT I DON'T WANT TO RAISE EVEN KNOW I NEVER ACCEPTED RAISE EVEN ON MY ACTUAL SHOWS THAT I'M ONLY TAKING THE SAME SALARY THAT I TOOK. SO, IF THERE IS SOMETHING THAT I CAN DO OTHER THAN PUT ON THE RECORD AGAIN THAT I'M NOT TAKING MY RAISE THAT I WILL DO THAT. IF THERE'S A MOTION TO BE MADE OR I AM JUST STUCK WITH IT BEING

[00:40:02]

POSTED THAT WAY AND MAY JUST NOT ACCEPTING IT. ANY CLARIFICATION.

>>BUT IT STILL SHOWS ME GETTING A RAISE. >>THE WAY WE HAVE TO REPORT THE CURRENT AMOUNT PHYSICIAN RESENTED THAT THE EVENT HE CAN SAY THAT IS THE SELLER.

HOWEVER WE ARE STILL REQUIRED TO PUT IN THE FORMAT ONLY REASON WHY WE DO THIS IS NOT FOR ANY REASON BECAUSE IF YOU HAVE ONLY FOR WHATEVER REASON MIGHT BE. IF THE NOTE THE SELLER IS. AND THERE'S LEVEL. SO, IS IT A FULL BUDGETED AMOUNT? WE CAN DEFINITELY DECLINE ANY AMOUNT THAT HE CHOOSES. AND THEY CHOOSE THE COUNTY ATTORNEY HERE, WE HAVE TO HAVE AN AFFIDAVIT EACH YEAR. NORMALLY POSITION OF THE COUNTY ATTORNEY AND THAT. THE REAR WE NEED AN AFFIDAVIT SAYING THIS IS WHAT WE'RE DOING AND THEN THE COMMISSIONER HAS A RIGHT TO

THEN TRANSFER THOSE IF HE SO CHOOSES. >>I THINK YOU'VE NOTED FOR THE

RECORD. >>I THINK IT'S PRETTY CLEAR THAT YOU DO NOT WANT THE RACE FOR YOU ARE NOT ACCEPTING THAT. AND YOU WOULD LIKE FOR THE WORLD TO NOTE.

>>MESS THAT QUESTION. I THINK SOMEONE ELSE COMES IN BUT THEY START BACK OVER AT THE STARTING SALARY, THEY LOOK AT THE COMMENT MY SALARY RIGHT? OR DO THEY?

>>THERE POINTED WHEN THEY CAME IN AND NOT AS AN ELECTED OFFICIAL. HUMAN UNDERCURRENTS THAT BECAUSE SHE'S A CURRENT COUNTY EMPLOYEE. FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU DECIDE TO RETIRE OR SOME OTHER EVENT IN THE COURT APPOINT AND SAYING THE CURRENT ELECTED POSITION WITH SOMEONE ON STAFF, WITH THE PAY THEM AT THEIR STEP. CUSTOMÁ WHAT YOU'RE TELLING ME ON THE RECORD, I WANT TO BE CLEAR THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO OTHER THAN TO KEEP SENDING THE AFFIDAVITS PRODUCED NOTHING I CAN MAKE A MOTION TODAY THAT TAKES AWAY. NOTHING I CAN DO OTHER THAN SAY LIKE A TICKET AND CONTINUE TO NOT TAKE IT? THAT'S I UNDERSTAND. THE WAY AGAIN, THE COUNTY ATTORNEY MAKES IT HOW I CAN SEE IT. I FEEL LIKE AS TO BE PUT IN AS Ã IS THE POSITION AS TO BE ÃÃ POSITION AS IF YOU WERE ATTEMPTING ANYTHING IN THE

RIGHT TO REFUSE IT IF YOU SO CHOOSE. >>JUST TO BE SAFE, I WOULD LIKE

TO ÃÃCAN I MAKE A MOTION IN A PUBLIC HEARING? >>IS JUST ABOUT TO SAY, WOULD

HE DO THAT? IF ELEMENTS ÃÃ IT'S GERMANE TO Ã¦ >>I WOULD LIKE HIM TO DO IT.

>>I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION BASED ON THE ACCOUNTING ATTORNEY AND GOING BACK AND LOOKING AT INSANE THIS IS A VALID MOTION. TO REJECT THIS POSTED PHRASE SAID THAT IS THE

RACE. >>$2500 PER. >>.IF $2500 MORE PREDICTION

INCREASE FROM ONE STEP OR ANOTHER. >>TO DO EVERYTHING PREPARE

SPEAKER THAT GOES TO SPECIAL REVENUE? OR NOT? >>THAT'S WHERE IT CAN GO, AS MY PRECINCT SPECIAL REVENUE, I'M SAYING IF THERE'S A WAY FOR ME TO MAKE A MOTION, I WILL MAKE THAT TODAY WHERE I DON'T GET ATTICUS BACK INTO THE GENERAL FUND. THE FROM TRYING TO GET

IT TO DO. IT'S THE PRINCIPLE. >>NORMALLY WHAT WE DO FROM THE AFFIDAVIT FROM THE INDIVIDUAL, WE PUT A REDUCTION ON THE BALANCES, ACTUALLY IF YOU SEE THE ACTUAL EXPENSES, IT WILL BE A LOT LOWER THAN YOUR BUDGET AMOUNTS. THIS MUST GO BACK TO THE DRAW FUND.

>>ARMS MAKING A MOTION. IF THE COUNTY ATTORNEY SAYS I CANNOT DO IT, THEN IT JUST GOES AWAY.

I WILL MAKE THE MOTION PUT ON THE RECORD. IF IT'S ALLOWABLE THAT I CAN DECLINE IT

ALTOGETHER, THAT'S MY PREFERENCE. >>HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THE MOVIE

TEQUILA SUNRISE? >>I DON'T THINK SO. >>IT'S A REALLY GREAT WINE.

JULIUS SAYS. YOU GO TO GREAT LENGTHS TO EXPLAIN SOMETHING VERY INCONSEQUENTIAL. WHY

DON'T WE DO? >>. >>ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY MISSING EYE. POST THE SAME TIME. THANK YOU. I THINK THE DISCUSSION IS TO WORKERS AND YOU CAN MAKE AND HAVE THE OFF-LINE WITH JENNY. HOW IS THAT?

>>THANK YOU. >>OKAY, I SAW IT HAND RAISED AND SO, I DO HAVE A PROCEDURAL QUESTION IN THE PUBLIC HEARING. I THOUGHT I SAW A HAND RACE. IS THAT CORRECT?

>>THEY LOWERED IT AGAIN. >>NO WORRIES. >>ASKING IF THEY STILL WISH TO

SPEAK. >>OKAY. I DID NOT KNOW IF IT WAS TEST TEST SOMETIMES WE DO SOMETHING INADVERTENTLY. WE PRESS THINGS. OKAY, I THINK WE SHOULD MOVE ON TO THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT PORTION OF THE PUBLIC HEARING AND CALL UPON 20 HIP. OR DEBT DALE. YES, HE IS

ONLINE. JOHNNY, WELCOME. >>HELLO JUDGE COMMISSIONERS. >>I WANTED TO GO AHEAD AND GET CONNIE TO PUT UP MY PRESENTATION AND START AT SLIDE NUMBER THREE. IF SHE COULD.

HILE SHE'S DOING THAT, I DID WANT TO START WITH THE COMMENT THAT DALE HAD MENTIONED IN HIS

[00:45:02]

PRESENTATION. THE TAX RATE THAT THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT IS PROPOSING IN ITS BUDGET IS 78 PERCENT. IT'S ACTUALLY 5.3 PERCENT. AND THAT'S WHAT WE REFER TO AS THE OLD EFFECTIVE TAX RATE. THAT WE HAD IN PRIOR YEARS. IT WOULD BE THE RATE THAT WE HAD LAST YEAR. SO, I HAVE JUST A FEW SLIDES TO SUPPLEMENT WHAT DALE COVERED. SO, IN THIS FIRST SLIDE ON PAGE 3, THIS IS THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT'S TAX RATE. HISTORY, HAS A TRENDLINE. THE RED LINE THAT'S FILED IN IT. SHOW THAT THE OVERALL AVERAGE DIRECTION OF THE DISTRICT'S TAX RATE FROM 1986 TO 2022 IS YOU CAN ALSO A TEST TEST THE DISTRICT'S TAX RATE HAS STEADILY DECREASED OVER TIME. MOST OF THOSE DECREASES IN THE RATE WERE ASSOCIATED WITH MAINTAINING THE EFFECTIVE TAX RATE IN THE PRIOR YEARS. LAST YEAR IT WAS THE FIRST YEAR THAT WE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO PICK UP SOME ADDITIONAL REVENUE. THROUGH EITHER THE RATE OR THE APPRAISED VALUES. AND THE END OF THE PROPOSED BUDGET 2022 ÃÃ USING LAST YEAR'S ADOPTED TAX RATE WILL BE ABLE TO PICK UP SOME ADDITIONAL REVENUES. SO, I WILL 20 WHERE THOSE REVENUES ARE NEEDED. CONNIE, IF YOU GO TO SLIDE FOUR? SO, THIS IS A GRAPH OF THE COUNTY HEALTH CARE EXPENDITURES IN THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT PICKED UP FROM THE COUNTY. HIS NUMBERS ACTUALLY GO ALL THE WAY BACK UP TO 1996. AS THE TRENDLINE SHOWS HERE, THE DOLLAR AMOUNT OF FUNDS THAT WE SPEND ON COUNTY HEALTHCARE EXPENDITURES HAVE STEADILY INCREASED OVER TIME. AND IN 2020 AND 2021, THOSE NUMBERS WENT UP. PRIMARILY DUE TO THE HOSPITAL DISTRICTS ADDITIONAL INVESTMENT IN MENTAL HEALTH CARE SERVICES. N THE COMMUNITY. FOR BENEFIT OF THE PUBLIC, THESE HEALTHCARE SERVICES ALSO INCLUDE FUNDING FOR AMS. THE PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENT. MH ID. IN A VARIETY OF OTHER SERVICES AND THINGS THAT NORMALLY THE COUNTY EXCUSE WE WOULD BE PAYING FOR EXCEPT AT THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT HAS BEEN DOING THAT FOR A FEW YEARS. SO, CONNIE, SLIDE FIVE. SO, THIS SLIDE SHOWS COMMISSIONERS OF THE EXPLICIT EXPENDITURES FOR THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT ON MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES. THESE NUMBERS ALSO GO BACK TO 1996. BUT IN THIS GRAPH, THEY START AT 2000. AND IN YEARS 2000 THROUGH 2017 ÃÃ 2018, THOSE NUMBERS WERE PRIMARILY FOR PROVIDING SUBSIDY FUNDING FOR MH ID. AND PROVIDING SOME PAY FOR OTHER SERVICES THAT THEY PROVIDE. BUT ÃÃWHAT IS PROVIDED FOR PROVIDING SERVICES FOR MH ID. STARTING IN THE YEAR 2018, I BELIEVE THIS MIGHT BE THE LAST YEAR THAT JUDGE NEIL WAS IN OFFICE. WE BEGAN TO INCREASE OUR MENTAL HEALTH CARE EXPENDITURES DUE TO STATE LAW THAT REQUIRED ADDITIONAL SPENDING A JAIL DIVERSION AND THINGS THAT INVOLVE MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES. AND IN YEAR 21 ONE AND 22, YOU COULD SEE THAT WE GREATLY EXPANDED OUR MENTAL HEALTH CARE SERVICES SPENDING AND IN OUR BUDGET OF 2022, THE SPENDING WILL BE A LITTLE OVER $5 MILLION. THE SPENDING IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE JAIL DIVERSION PROGRAM. OTHER THINGS THAT MH ID RUNS THROUGH US. AND IN AND THE ADDITION OF THE COUNTY'S MENTAL HEALTH CARE AND MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES Ã JUST THE DEPARTMENT THAT WOULD BE DOCTOR GONZALEZ AND HIS TEAM. CONNIE, IF YOU COULD CITE TWO THINGS THAT MAY BE GO THROUGH SIX OR SEVEN SEVEN. THIS SLIDE ESSENTIALLY SHOWS THE DETAIL OF REVENUE SOURCES AT THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT HAS. IN TERMS OF FUNDING ITS GENERAL FUND. AS YOU CAN SEE, THREE FOURTHS OF OUR REVENUES WERE ASSOCIATED WITH CURRENT TAX. YOU MIGHT RECALL THAT IN PRIOR YEARS, OUR SPAWNED REVENUE SHARING AGREEMENT CONTRIBUTED CONTRIBUTES TO YOUR FOUR OR MORE OF THE DISTRICTS REVENUE. THAT HAS SHIFTED OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS AS THE REVENUE SHARE THAT WE HAVE AS CALM DOWN. THAT HAS INCREASED THE DISTRICTS RELIANCE ON TAX REVENUES TO COVER CARE FOR THE INDIGENT AND THE COUNTY HEALTHCARE EXPENDITURES.

[00:50:08]

THE NEXT ÃÃTHE LOWEST ONE IS KIND OF THE LIME GREEN COLOR AND THAT WOULD BE THE REVENUE THAT WE SHARE WITH SPOHN THAT CONTRIBUTES A LITTLE CASH OF 21 PERCENT THE HOSPITAL DISTRICTS DISTRICTS. REVENUE SHARING WITH US TO CHURCH THAT EQUATES TO ABOUT 99 PERCENT OF THE HOSPITAL'S REVENUE WITH THE LOAD BEING CARRIED BY OUR TAX REVENUES. SO, CONNIE, . SO, THIS SLIDE ESSENTIALLY SAYS WHAT I JUST SAID. AND IT SHOWS MORE SUCCINCTLY THAT OUR TAX REVENUE CARRIES THE BURDEN OF THE DISTRICT AND THE NONTAX CARRIES SOME OF THE SMALLER LOAD. SO, NEXT SLIDE CONNIE. THIS IS THE SLIDE SHOWS GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURES. IN A DETAILED WAY. BOOK OF THE DISTRICTS FUNDS ARE 63 PERCENT ARE USED FOR INTERGOVERNMENTAL TRANSFERS. THESE ARE FOR THE FUNDS THAT THE DISTRICT MAKES AVAILABLE TO THE STATE AND THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. AND FUNDING TO ALL THE HOSPITALS IN CORPUS CHRISTI. TOBIN THE DRISCOLL FACILITIES, WITH THE BENEFIT FROM THE HOSPITAL MAKING THESE FUNDS AVAILABLE IN THESE HOSPITALS TO PROVIDE SERVICES THAT THEY WOULD OTHERWISE BE UNAFFORDABLE TO THEM. IN ORDER TO PROVIDE THEM TO THE COMMUNITY. ABOUT 20 IN THE DARK GREEN 20 THE TORQUE CONVERTER EXPENDITURES ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THE COUNTY

HEALTHCARE EXPENSES. >>CHINA COMES DOWN THAT ONE FOR SECOND. TO MAKE SURE THE COURT IS FULLY AVAILABLE, GOVERNMENTAL TRANSFERS AND IGT'S, IT'S NOT ONLY CLEAR THAT THEY REPRESENT 63.2.4 PERCENT. WITHOUT THE CURRENT SYSTEM, LITERALLY IF THERE WERE TO BE A DIFFERENT SYSTEM, AND THIS IS FULLY FUNDED MEDICAID, WHICH IS AND CAN HAPPEN YET, WE ARE ALWAYS VULNERABLE. AND IN OTHER WORDS, IT IS THAT SYSTEM THAT HAS BEEN ON THE CHOPPING BLOCK SO TO SPEAK WITH CMS FOR SOME TIME. AND THAT'S WHY WE CREATED THE L PPF LEGISLATION AND WHY WE CREATED THAT SAFETY NET, WHICH WOULD NOT EVEN GIVE US ÃÃIF THAT IS TO BE FULLY

EMPLOYED. THE DOLLAR AMOUNT THAT WE CURRENTLY GET TODAY. >>JUDGE, THAT'S AN EXCELLENT POINT. THE INTERGOVERNMENTAL TRANSFERS OF FUNDS ESSENTIALLY FOR THE MOST PART NOT BE THERE IF THE STATE HAD EXPANDED MEDICAID. BACK WHEN IT HAD AN OPPORTUNITY. SO, THE STORY HERE THE NEW COMMISSIONER HEARD ME SAY THIS BEFORE, BUT WHEN THE STATE DECIDED THAT IT WAS MCCARTHY TO EXPAND MEDICAID WAS A PUSH FROM THE HOSPITAL AND THE INDUSTRY IN TEXAS TO HAVE SOME KIND OF ASSISTANCE EITHER FROM STATE OR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FLOWING AND IN TERMS OF DOLLARS THAT WOULD HELP COVER ALL THE PATIENTS OR ALL OF THE PEOPLE AT THE HOSPITALS WERE SITTING. THAT WERE UNINSURED. AND YOU MIGHT RECALL THAT OBAMA CARE AND MEDICAID EXPANSION ÃÃWHEN THOSE THINGS WERE COUPLE TOGETHER, THEY ESSENTIALLY WERE TO HAVE VIRTUALLY EVERYONE COVERED BY SOME FORM OF INSURANCE. SO, THOSE TWO PROGRAMS NEVER TOOK OFF IN TEXAS ÃJUST INDUSTRY ASKED THE STATE TO STEP UP AND HELP IDENTIFY AND CREATE PROGRAMS THAT WOULD ALLOW MONEY TO FLOW INTO THE FACILITIES TO SUPPLEMENT THE CARE FOR THE PEOPLE SO THEY DON'T GET PAID FOR. WITH CHARITY CARE PATIENTS AND ENSURE THAT THE CORPUS HAS MANY OF THIS KIND OF PATIENTS. JUDGE, YOU MAKE AN EXCELLENT POINT. THAT LOCAL GOVERNMENT IS STANDING IN FOR THE STATE OR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AT THIS POINT. DUE TO THE FACT THAT WE DID NOT HAVE MEDICAID EXPANSION AS OF YET IN TEXAS.

SO, SLIDE 10. SO, THIS IS A MORE OF A CONSOLIDATED LOOK AT OUR EXPENDITURES. AND ESSENTIALLY IN THIS PARAGRAPH, WHAT WE DID CLOSE AGAIN, LAY OUT THE INTERGOVERNMENTAL TRANSFERS. THE COUNTY HEALTHCARE EXPENDITURE, BUT WE GROUP ALL THE OTHER EXPENSES THAT DISTRICT HAS INTO THE 12 PERCENT. SO CONNIE, I THINK THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION

[00:55:02]

AND JUDGING COMMISSIONERS. I AM AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS. >>THANK YOU. AND I'M CERTAINLY OPEN IT UP. ALSO, I WOULD LIKE TO RECOGNIZE SYLVIA OLIVER, WHO IS HERE WITH US. FROM THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT AND PART OF OUR EXECUTIVE TEAM IS THE VICE CHAIR. SHE REALLY IT HAS BEEN ACTING AS THE CHAIR HERE LATELY. UNFORTUNATELY OUR CHAIR HAD SOME MEDICAL ISSUES THEMSELVES. SO SYLVIA IS HERE. WE RECOGNIZE YOU AND YOUR GOOD WORK. AND I WOULD JUST REALLY ASK IF YOU DON'T MIND IT'S NOT THAT WE DON'T LOVE AND THINK THAT YOU ARE TEST ÃTHE BEST, BUT SYLVIA, I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE BOARD ALSO JUST AS IF YOU WOULDN'T MIND TAKING THE MIC SO THAT WE JUST COULD MAKE SURE THAT THE BOARD HAS HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW ALL THAT JOHNNY HAS PRESENTED. AND YOU DO GREAT WITH THE PRESENTATION IS A

MEMBER OF THE BOARD. CUSTOMÁ THANK YOU JUDGE. >>REALLY MORE THAN THE MEMBER

AS THE LEADERSHIP OF THE BOARD. >>ABSOLUTELY. THE BOARD IS IN TOTAL AGREEMENT WITH THE BUDGET. PROPOSED BUDGET THAT YOU HAVE HEARD TODAY THROUGH

JOHNNY. THANK YOU. >>JUST AS IT NICE JUST TO SHOOT IT'S GOOD TO HEAR FROM THE

BOARD. SO, THANK YOU. >>LOOKING FORWARD TO APPROVAL. THANK YOU.

>>AND OKAY. WITH THE REQUEST OF 5.3 PERCENT, ON THE IS EIGHT. I JUST WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE OUR APPRECIATION TO GIVING AT A TIME WHERE HEALTHCARE IS AT THE FOREFRONT OF EVERYBODY'S MIND, JOHNNY, AND YOU GUYS ALWAYS SEEM TO DO MORE WITH LESS. I DON'T KNOW HOW. WHAT COMES TO OUR NEEDS, WE APPRECIATE YOUR CONSERVATIVE NATURE OF ASKING FOR LESS.

IT'S VERY CLEAR THAT YOU CAN DO MORE WITH LESS. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS AHEAD OR ANY

DOCUMENTATION QUESTIONS THAT HE'S PROVIDED? >>AND IT'S NOT THE FIRST TIME,

BUT AND IT'S GOOD TO HEAR IT TWICE. >>I WILL QUESTION JUDGE.

>>OKAY, FOR MR. HIP. MR. HELP, MR. HIP, BOSTON WE SPOKE, IT TALKS ABOUT A FIVE PERCENT AND

HE TOLD ME THAT YOU WOULD BE GOOD WITH THAT. WHAT CHANGED? >>COMMISSIONER, THE DISCUSSIONS THAT WE HAVE HAD ALWAYS HAD HAVE CENTERED AROUND USING THE EFFECTIVE TAX RATE FOR THE RATE THAT WE HAD LAST YEAR. WHEN WE WENT THROUGH AND LEFT THE THE NUMBERS BEFORE WE ARRIVED AT WHAT THE DISTRICT WAS GOING TO ASK FOR, THE CALCULATION PRODUCTS FROM FIVE PERCENT TO 5.3. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE FIVE PERCENT IN THE 5.3 IS ROUGHLY $108,000. THE DISTRICT ÃÃCERTAINLY MAKE THINGS WORK WITH THE FIVE PERCENT. IF THERE'S AN ORIGINAL CONCERN BY THE COURT THAT WE NEED TO LOOK AT THAT NUMBER ÃÃWE CAN. THE NUMBER DID INCREASE. THE HUNDRED AND $8000 DUE TO OUR FINAL LOOK AT THE EXPENSES. IN THE THE THING COMMISSIONER, THAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS TRY TO GET THE HOSPITAL DISTRICTS TO HAVE A BALANCED BUDGET. FOR MANY YEARS, REALLY ASSOCIATED WITH THE GRAPH THAT I SHOWED YOU FOR THE EFFECTIVE TAX RATE, THE DISTRICT HAS BEEN SUBSIDIZING THE COUNTY HEALTHCARE EXPENDITURE FROM ITS OWN RESERVES. SO, THOSE ARE THINGS PUBLIC HEALTH ÃÃTHOSE THINGS AND THIS YEAR, THE LAST TWO YEARS, THE DISTRICT HAS INCREASED ITS EXPENDING AS I SHOWED YOU. ON MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES. IN THE COUNTY. WE AGREE THAT THOSE ARE IMPORTANT. WE STOOD UP IT MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES DEPARTMENT AT THE COUNTY. DOCTOR GONZALEZ AND HIS TEAM ARE DOING GOOD WORK AND PUTTING THOSE SERVICES ALONG. COMMISSIONER, YES, WE DID INCREASE FROM OUR CONVERSATIONS. FROM 5 TO 53. THAT WAS BASED ON ADDITIONAL EXPENDITURE NEEDS THAT WERE PRIMARILY ASSOCIATED WITH MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES. THAT WE NEEDED IN THE COUNTY. SOSA CONNECTED WITH AN EFFORT BY THE DISTRICT. TRY TO BALANCE OUT THIS BUDGET. IF WE CONTINUE TO DRAW DOWN THE DISTRICT RESERVES, AND WE ARE GOING TO BE IN A PROBLEMATIC SITUATION IN ABOUT A YEAR OR TWO. AND WHEN I SAY PROBLEMATIC IS THAT WE WILL TEST US WE NEED TO KEEP A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF FUNDS IN RESERVE BECAUSE OUR REVENUE-SHARING AGREEMENT WAS ON CAN AND AND AND A SHORTER PERIOD IS 90 DAYS. ND THAT WOULD DRY UP OUR REVENUE SOURCE. IF WE HAD OUR REMEDY SHARING AND MEMBERSHIP AGREEMENT WAS SPAWNED IN THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT AND WOULD BE BACK TO ITS OLD AGREEMENTS. WE HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO PAY

[01:00:04]

AROUND $30 MILLION A YEAR. FOR INDIGENT HEALTHCARE. AND WE WOULD LIKELY HAVE TO CONTINUE THE BURDEN OF CARRYING THE COUNTY HEALTHCARE EXPENSES ABOUT $11 MILLION A YEAR. WE HAVE RIGHT OFF IN OUR AGREEMENTS ÃÃ$40 MILLION OBLIGATIONS THAT WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH. THE OTHER REASON THAT WE ARE WANTING TO BALANCE THE DISTRICT'S BUDGET IS THAT THERE IS SOME SENTIMENT THAT THE EVENTUAL DESTINY OF THE MEMORIAL PROPERTY WILL BECOME JUSTICE, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES FOCUS. IF THE DISTRICTS ROLE AND THAT IS TO DO FACILITY BUILDING AND OTHER THINGS ÃÃTHE DISTRICT'S FINANCIAL SITUATION HAS TO BE IN GOOD SHAPE IN ORDER FOR DISTRICT TO ISSUE BONDS AND OTHER THINGS THAT MIGHT POSSIBLY BE NEEDED FOR OBLIGATION. THOSE KINDS OF THINGS TO SUPPORT BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES ON THE CAMPUS. IF THAT IS WHERE WE'RE GOING TO GO. AND SO, TO THE DEGREE THAT WE HAVE A TRACK HISTORY, NOT DRAWING DOWN ON THE DISTRICT'S RESERVES, AND NOT FUNDING THINGS THAT ARE NOT PROBABLY ALL HOSPITAL DISTRICT OBLIGATIONS ÃÃTHEN WE GO TO THE PAINTING AS YOU ALL KNOW, WORKING WITH MR. AND HOW SO, THAT THEY GO BACK AND TAKE A VERY CLOSE LOOK AT THE DISTRICT FINANCIAL PICTURE.

T'S TRENDS AND WHERE IT'S GOING. SO, TO THE DEGREE THAT WE CAN START TO BALANCE THE DISTRICT'S BUDGET WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF TAX REVENUES, BUT STILL BE ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF HER INDIGENT AND CONTINUE TO COUNTY HEALTHCARE EXPENDITURES. WHILE PRIORITIZING FUNDING FOR MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES. WE BELIEVE THAT THE FIVE .3 PERCENT IS WARRANTED AND THAT'S

WHY WE LEFT IT IN OUR PROPOSED BUDGET. >>MUCH HAS YOUR EXPENSES GROWN SINCE 2018? HOW MUCH HAS GONE UP? >OUR EXPENSE GROWTH COMMISSIONER, HAS PRIMARILY BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH THE COUNTY HEALTHCARE EXPENDITURES. WE CONTINUE TO STEP UP ON THE COUNTY HAS ASKED US ÃDISTANCE ARE ESSENTIAL BE HONEST WITH YOU COMMISSIONER, OR EXPENSES IT DOES NOT HAVE DIRECT CONTROL OVER IT. WE PAY FOR THEM, BUT WE DON'T DETERMINE THEM OTHER THAN THE PROGRAMS AND STUFF THAT WE PUT INTO MENTAL HEALTH RECENTLY. THE MASK COST OR THE PUBLIC HEALTH COSTS. THIS COMMISSIONER, WE HAVE HAD EXPENSE GROWTH IN THE DISTRICT.

THERE ARE PRINCIPALLY ASSOCIATED WITH FUNDING OF THE ADDITIONAL SERVICES OUTSIDE OF OUR INDIGENT CARE OBLIGATION. CUSTOMÁ WHAT WAS YOUR EXPENSES NUMBER WAS? BEFORE, YOU KNOW, UP TO NOW? I UNDERSTAND THAT IT WAS SOMETHING LIKE 1 MILLION? BACK

THEN? >>OUR COUNTY HEALTH EXPENDITURE THIS YEAR'S GONNA BE AROUND $11

MILLION PER. >>I THOUGHT YOU TOLD ME IT WAS GOING TO BE 18 MILLION?

>>I'M SORRY COMMISSIONER. >>WHEN WE MET, Ã¦ WHEN WE MET YOU TOLD ME YOUR EXPENSES BEFORE USED TO BE UP TO 9 MILLION. AND UP TO DATE, THERE ARE 18 MILLION.

>>COMMISSIONER, I DON'T HAVE MY EXPENSE SHEET IN FRONT OF YOU TELL ME MAY BE WHAT SHEET

YOU'RE LOOKING AT. >>THE SHEET YOU GAVE ME. I TOOK YOUR WORD THAT IT USED TO BE 9 MILLION. UP-TO-DATE GOING TO BE 18 MILLION. THIS IS DOUBLE.

>>COMMISSIONER. I'M SORRY. COMMISSIONER, I'M LOOKING AT A SHEET THAT HAS HOSPITAL DISTRICTS EXPENSES IN IT. FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 22. OUR OPERATING EXPENSES ARE ABOUT 47.5 COMPARED THE GROWTH IN OUR EXPENSES ÃÃWHEN YOU FACTOR OUT THE FACT THAT THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT DID NOT USE ITS FUNDING FOR THE ALTERNATE CARE SITE FOR THE COVID ALTERNATE CARE SITE THAT WAS DISCUSSED LAST YEAR, THE OVERALL REMOVING THE FACTOR FROM COUNTY HEALTHCARE EXPENSES AND HAVE INCREASED AND THEY WERE PRIMARILY DUE TO OUR INCREASED EXPENDITURES FOR MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES. CUSTOMÁ WHILE ALL AGREE WITH YOU, THAT I THINK THE MONEY SHOULD BE USED FOR MENTAL HEALTH. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT

[01:05:03]

THE MENTAL HEALTH. BUT, I'M JUST GOING BACK TO YOU AND WHEN WE MET AT YOUR OFFICE. IN 2018 ÃJUST YOUR EXPENSES WERE 9 MILLION AND UP TO THE STATE THEY HAVE DOUBLED. FROM

CONCERNED ABOUT. HOW CAN THEY TEST TEST? >>COMMISSIONER THAT THE THREE YEAR TIME PERIOD FOR THEIR PROGRAMS THAT I MENTIONED AT THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT HAS IMPLEMENTED MENTAL HEALTH AND CONTINUED TO FUND INCREASES IN PUBLIC HEALTH AND EMS. ALL THE SERVICES AND STUFF THAT WE TYPICALLY HAVE DONE. IF YOU WANT TO TALK MAYBE ABOUT HOSPITAL DISTRICTS OPERATING EXPENSES, THEY REALLY ARE PRETTY SMALL COMPARED TO THE OTHER MEMBERS THAT HAVE IN THERE. THE EMPLOYEES, THEY GET INCREASES MORE OR LESS ON THE SCALE THAT THE COUNTIES DO. OUR PRIMARY EXPENSE HAS BEEN AROUND COVERING COUNTY HEALTHCARE EXPENDITURES. DUE TO THE DEGREE THAT THERE'S A CONVERSATION SUBSEQUENTLY TO A DECREASE IN THOSE EXPENSES, THEN IF THE COUNTY CAN HELP US SET A PRIORITY, OR WHICH EXPENSES GET CAUGHT, OR REDUCED AND WILL GLADLY WORK WITH YOU ALL. BUT COMMISSIONER, WE FOLLOW THE LEAD OF THE COUNTY ON THESE COUNTY HEALTHCARE EXPENDITURES. THE ONES THAT POLICYMAKERS NEED TO DECIDE Ã IS NOT THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT. WE HAVE STEPPED UP TO PAY FOR THEM. SO, WE STAND READY TO WORK WITH YOU ALL TO REDUCE THOSE EXPENDITURES. BUT, WE BELIEVE THAT MOST OF THEM ARE ONES THAT WILL BE A CHALLENGE TO TRY TO REDUCE. AND IT WILL TAKE SOME FORTITUDE TO WORK THROUGH THOSE THINGS. BUT WE CAN CERTAINLY WORK WITH THE

COURT TO REDUCE THOSE. >>AND I AGREE AGAIN. WITH MY CONCERN IS THE MENTALLY ILL.

E'VE A LOT OF PEOPLE IN NEED AND I DON'T LIKE TO SEE AND I THINK I UNDERSTAND THE STRESS I UNDERSTOOD THAT YOU SPENT QUITE A BIT OF MONEY IN RENOVATING BUILDINGS FOR JUSTICE FOR OUR USE I GUESS. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE LESS MONEY GO TO BUILDINGS AND KEEP IT FOR THE INDIGENT AND MENTAL ILL DOCTOR GONZALEZ. REACH HIS GOAL TO WHAT HE WANTS TO DO. USE THAT MONEY FOR THAT

INSTEAD OF PAYING FOR BUILDINGS. >>COMMISSIONER, WE ÃÃTHE FUNDING THAT WE HAVE IN THIS NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET FOR MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES IS ALL PROGRAMMING. THERE ARE NO BUILDINGS IN THERE. WE ARE NOT DOING ANY ASSESSMENTS OR ANY NEW BUILDINGS. I THINK I MENTIONED IN MY PRESENTATION EARLIER THAT DOWN THE ROAD A FEW YEARS ÃÃIF THAT IS SOMETHING THAT EMERGES THAT THE COUNTY NEEDS TO DO THAT WE WANT TO BE POSITION TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT. WHEN THIS YEAR'S BUDGET, ON THE MONEY THAT WE HAVE MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES IS STRICTLY FOR ÃÃSTRICTLY FOR PROGRAMMING.

>>THAT IS FINE SIR. >>I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE MONEY GO TO MENTAL HEALTH.

QUESTIONS? >>YES, GO AHEAD. JOHNNY? >>I WANT TO VERIFY ÃTHIS I'M NOT SURE I HEARD RIGHT. YOU SAID ÃÃI THINK I WAS GOING BACK A WHILE. YOU SAID A LOT OF YOUR EXPENDITURES OUTSIDE OF THE SCOPE OF HOSPITAL DISTRICT. REQUEST WITH THE COUNTY. THAT IS CASTEISM MY PARAPHRASING THAT RIGHT? I WANT TO PUT WORDS IN YOUR MOUTH.

>>COMMISSIONER, I THINK YOU'RE PRETTY CLOSE. HOSPITAL DISTRICT HAS A UNIQUE STATUTE TO THIS HOSPITAL DISTRICT IS NOT IN EXISTENCE IN THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT IN THE STATE.

BUT, THIS STATUTE ÃÃTHIS UNIQUE STATUTE ALLOWS THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT TO USE CERTAIN AMOUNT OF ITS FUNDS TO FUND PROGRAMS AND SERVICES IN POOR AREAS. IT'S MENTAL HEALTH, PUBLIC HEALTH, JAIL HEALTHCARE, AND FORGET THE FOURTH ONE. BUT WE USE THAT STATUTE TO MAKE USE OF THE SPECIFIC HOSPITAL FUNDS STATUTE ALLOWS FOR US TO PAY FOR THE COUNTY HEALTHCARE SERVICES. IN FACT, THE COUNTY SERVICES WERE DELINEATED AROUND THAT STATUTE.

SO THAT WE MAKE SURE THAT WE CAMPED WITHIN THE ROWS OF WHAT WAS ALLOWED BY THE STATUTE.

SO, AND A HOSPITAL DISTRICT, WE HAVE AN INSTANCE OF POOR TAX FUNDS OR REQUIRED TO BE USED FOR INDIGENT CARE. UT OUR NONTAX FUNDS CAN BE USED FOR THIS FOR PURPOSES.

YES COMMISSIONER, THAT IS CORRECT AND IT'S ALL DUE TO A UNIQUE CIRCUMSTANCE THAT WE

HAVE IN OUR DISTRICT. >>OTHER THAN THE MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAMMING, WHAT WOULD BE

[01:10:08]

EXAMPLES OF PROJECTS THAT THE COUNTY HAVE ASKED AS A COURT Ã ÃARREST YOU TO DO TO INCREASE YOUR EXPENDITURES? CAN YOU GIVE ME SOME OF THOSE? >,I OFFER THE FIRST ONE ÃÃWHICH WAS LAST YEAR ÃÃWE ASKED THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT AS A COURT TO PLEASE PROVIDE BUFFALO TURBINES PRAYERS FOR VECTOR CONTROL. AND WE DID THAT. WE ALSO ÃÃ IS A COURT YOU WILL RECALL LAST ATTEMPT TO PROVIDE I BELIEVE SUPPORT FOR OUR MOBILE MEDICAL CLINIC ÃÃOUR TRAILER, COMMISSIONER JACK. I'M TRYING TO REMEMBER ALL THE PARTICULARS. THERE WERE SOME THINGS THAT CAME FROM HERE AND SOME THINGS THAT CAME FROM THERE. THAT MOBILE MEDICAL CLINIC WAS ALSO AN OPPORTUNITY WHERE YOU COULD USE AS A GOOD EXAMPLE. AND THE THIRD THAT COMES TO MY MIND AND ONE THAT WAS VERY IMPORTANT WAS THE MENTAL HEALTH RISK ASSESSORS.

THEY CAME FROM THE JAIL. THAT THEY ENDED UP PAYING FOR. I THINK THAT WAS MAYBE A YEAR AGO? THAT WE HAD THOSE TWO FOLKS AND THERE HAVE BEEN OTHERS AS WELL. THIS ARE EXAMPLES THAT COME TO MY MIND THAT THIS COURT ÃÃWE ACTUALLY PREPARED IT AND WE HAD A WORKSHOP A YEAR AGO. A LIST OF THINGS FOR THEM TO CONSIDER AND THOSE WERE THE ONES THAT CAME

TO THE TOP OF THE MIND. >>FURTHER OTHERS JOHNNY THAT HE COULD THINK OF?

>>THERE ARE. WE JUST KIND OF RUN DOWN THE LIST. THESE MASTERS MOST OF THE ONES I'M GONNA TALK ABOUT TYPICALLY SERVICES THAT ARE PROVIDED BY COUNTY AND SO, THOSE WOULD BE FUNDING FOR THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT. IN THIS CASE, WE FUND SERVICES AS THE JUDGE SAID FOR PUBLIC HEALTH. WE ALSO PROVIDE BENEFITS OF THE COUNTY EMPLOYEES WHO WORK AT THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT PER THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT IS COMPRISED OF COUNTY CITY AND STATE EMPLOYEES. THE NEXT ITEM IS WE FUND EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES FOR SERVICES THAT ARE PROVIDED OUTSIDE OF THE INCORPORATED CITIES IN THE COUNTY. SO, THAT WOULD BE IN THE TYPICAL ONE THAT WE FUND OUR CITY OF ROB STONE. AND YES THESE 12, FOUR AND, SIX. WE ALSO PROVIDE STAGING MATCH FUNDS FOR MH IDP THAT'S ABOUT $1 MILLION A YEAR. WE RECENTLY STARTED IN 2018 PROVIDING ADDITIONAL TEST TEST MH IDP DOES INCLUDED JAIL DIVERSION TEST TEST FORENSIC SERVICES AND STUFF TO HELP GET PEOPLE AWAY FROM JAIL AND BACK TO COURT. WALK IN CRISIS CENTER. AND IN TERMS OF MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES ÃÃTHE HOSPITAL DISTRICT HAS ÃAS I MENTIONED, STOOD UP AND MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES DEPARTMENT WITHIN THE COUNTY. THAT IS DOCTOR GONZALEZ AND HIS TEAM. WE HAVE FUNDED A STUDY BY MEADOWS LAST YEAR. AND WE PUT MONEY INTO THE MH ID JAIL DIVERSION PROGRAM FOR NOW. GOING ON OUR THIRD YEAR. IN MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES ÃÃ THERE ARE SOME GAPS IN THE JAIL DIVERSION PROGRAM THAT NEED TO BE FILLED WITH PROGRAMS. AND WE HAVE THAT PROGRAMMING FUNDING AVAILABLE TO FINISH OUT THAT PROGRAM. N ADDITION ÃÃTHE HOSPITAL DISTRICT PAYS FOR HEALTHCARE SERVICES AT THE JUVENILE DETENTION FACILITY. WE ALSO PAY FOR JAIL HEALTHCARE SERVICES AT THE JAIL NEXT DOOR TO THE COURTHOUSE. THOSE ARE Ã ÃTHAT JAIL HEALTHCARE SERVICES CONTRACT IS GOING TO BE ABOUT $4.4 MILLION THIS YEAR. FAIRLY STEEP AND THEN IN SMALL NUMBERS, COMMISSIONER OF THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT PAYS FOR GRANTS FOR THIS DISGRACE THAT THE COUNTY ISSUES AND THAT WE REFER YOU ALL FOR SENATE CORE COUNSEL AND ALCOHOL DRUG ABUSE.

THE COUNTY JUVENILE DIABETES PROGRAM. WE HAVE A SECOND YEAR OF PUBLIC HEALTH GRANTS THAT WE ARE GOING TO ÃÃTHAT WE HAVE IN OUR BUDGET LAST YEAR. THEY WENT TO COASTAL BEN WALLACE SITUATION AND THE COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER.) WE ROLLED OVER THIS YEAR. THEY ARE FOCUSED ON BOTH COVID TESTING AND OTHER RELATED NEEDS AND STUFF THAT ARE OUT THERE IN TERMS OF PUBLIC HEALTH ISSUES THAT ARISE. SO, COMMISSIONER, IT'S A FAIRLY LONG LIST OF THINGS AND FAIRLY EXPENSIVE LIST OF THINGS THAT THE DISTRICT COVERS WHERE THE COUNTY. DUE TO OUR UNIQUE FUNDING ABILITY IN THAT STATUTE. CUSTOMÁ RIGHT SO, THOSE ARE ALL JUSTICE I APPRECIATE THE LONG LIST. I'M ASSUMING THAN THE YOU HAVE CHECKED ALL THIS

[01:15:05]

OUT WITH LAWYERS ÃJUST TO MAKE SURE ALL THIS FUNDING IS LEGAL WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT. I'M SURE YOU'VE DONE ALL THAT. RIGHT? YOU'VE VERIFIED THAT THIS IS

ALL GOOD TO GO? >>WE REMIND EVERYBODY ABOUT THE FACT THAT NOT ONLY DO WE HAVE A COUNTY ATTORNEY THAT SITS IN EVERY MEETING, BUT WE HAVE GENERAL COUNSEL AS WELL.

>>I'M AWARE THAT JUDGE COULD. >>IN THE OF SPECIALIZED COUNSEL FOR.>I'M AWARE OF THAT.

HAVE YOU SPECIFICALLY MADE VERIFICATION THAT ALL THESE THINGS ARE LEGITIMATELY FUNDED THAT IS ALL I ASKED. I WOULD ASSUME THAT IT'S A YES. [LAUGHTER]

>>COMMISSIONER, WE DO AN ASSESSMENT ON WHETHER THE ASK IS LEGITIMATE. WE HAVE TAKEN FROM THE COURT THAT THOSE ARE THINGS THAT ARE NEEDED IN THE COUNTY. AND SO, WHAT WE DO IS WORK WITH COUNSEL CLEARLY IN THIS CASE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE FUNDS THAT WE DRAW COME OUT OF THE CORRECT BUCKET. IF YOU WILL. AT THE DISTRICT, WE ESSENTIALLY HAVE A TAX BOOK IN A NONTAX BUCKET. WE MAKE SURE THAT THE FUNDS ARE DRAWN FROM THE CORRECT BUCKET. AND THAT THEY ARE IN STANDING WITH THE STATUTE. THE STATUTE IS A VERY GENERAL AND DOES ALLOW SOMEONE TO WITH THE DISTRICT TO TAKE CARE OF THINGS, BUT FOR ALL EXPENDITURES THAT I MENTIONED Ã ÃTHOSE ARE FOR STATUTE ENTERING YOUR QUESTION. THEY HAVE BEEN RESEARCHED AND HAD

GUIDANCE AND COUNSEL. >>SCARED ME AT THE BEGINNING OF WHAT HE SAID. BECAUSE YOU INDICATED THAT YOU JUST ÃA SHIP THAT YOU ARE SAYING THAT YOU THOUGHT YOU'RE GONNA SAY THAT YOU JUST TOOK THE COUNTY'S REQUEST AND ASSUME THAT IT WAS OKAY. BUT YOU CLARIFIED THAT.

YOU ARE SAYING THAT YOUR SPECIALIZED COUNSEL IN YOUR COUNSEL IN OUR COUNSEL HAVE ALL CONFIRMED THAT THESE ARE LEGITIMATE WAYS TO LEGAL WAYS TO SPEND THE MONEY. YES?

>>YES. >>OKAY. SO, MY REQUEST GOING FORWARD IS THAT IF THE COUNTY MAKES AN ADDITIONAL REQUEST ÃÃ THAT'S GOING TO COST MORE AND GOING TO CAUSE THERE TO BE AN INCREASE IN TAXES ÃÃTHAT YOU MAKE US AWARE OF THAT. BECAUSE EXCUSE ME ÃÃTHAT IS SOMETHING THAT IS SIGNIFICANT. TO ME, I THINK THIS WILL COURT. WE DON'T WANT TO CONTINUE TO ASK YOU TO DO THINGS. ONE, THE ONGOING TREATMENT WAS SUSPENDED AND IT SOUNDS LIKE WE'RE NOT.

AND TWO, WITHOUT MAKING REALLY SURE THAT WE CAN ASK ÃÃYOU RESPOND BY SAYING TO US OKAY, WE CAN DO THAT. CHANCES ARE GOOD. HIS COULD TO BOSTON OVER THE EDGE AND WE'RE GONNA HAVE ANOTHER TAX INCREASE COMING UP. SO, IF YOU COULD JUST TAKE THAT AS A REQUEST FROM ONE COMMISSIONER TO PLEASE BE COGNIZANT OF THAT GOING

FORWARD. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT. >>OKAY. THANK YOU. JOHNNY, I APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE WITH US THIS MORNING. AND ASK FOR YOU TO STICK AROUND OR JUST KEEP COGNIZANT AS TO FINALLY GET TO THAT PART OF THE AGENDA THAT IS RELEVANT. SECOND, TO THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT. AT THIS TIME, I'M GOING TO CLOSE. CARE, I DID NOT NOTE THE TIME.

THE, WHEN I OPENED. I FEEL LIKE IT WAS 9:30-ISH. 930:5-ISH. SONG NOTING FOR THE RECORD THAT IT 10:26 I'M CLOSING THIS PUBLIC HEARING. BEFORE WE CONVENE THE MEETING, I'M GOING TO TAKE A 10 MINUTE BREAK FOR THOSE PEOPLE THAT BEEN PATIENT. FOR THOSE THAT SPOKE IN PUBLIC COMMENT THAT I THINK WE COULD AT LEAST JUST DO A QUICK VISIT WITH. OFTEN KNOW WHERE THEY ARE IN THE AGENDA AND WHAT THE REALITY OF THE TIMETABLE IS.

BECAUSE AGAIN, TINY RESIDENCES RETIREMENT AND IT AFFECTS US IN SEPTEMBER 30. THIS IS ALREADY SEPTEMBER 8. THE FURTHER WE DELETE, THE FURTHER.

WHETHER THAT'S JUST WHERE THEY'RE COMING FROM. ANOTHER TWO WEEKS TO A MONTH. I DON'T KNOW. I GUESS IT'S NOT TOO BAD. IT'S LESS THAN A WEEK'S DIFFERENCE.

AND I UNDERSTAND THAT WE NEED TO LOOK AT OF THE TRIP BUT THE TRUTH IS THAT THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN POSTED THE MINUTE HE GAVE NOTICE. AND WE DID ATTEMPT THAT, BUT OUT OF DEFERENCE TO YOU COMMISSIONERS, A FEW OF YOU WHO SAID YOU WANTED TO DISCUSS IT FURTHER WE WENT AHEAD AND PUT IT ON THIS AGENDA. THE TRUTH IS THAT THIS POSTING IS NOT ONLY, YOU KNOW, CURRENT.

HIS DESCRIPTION. ITS CURRENT BY THIS COURT. [LAUGHTER] WE DID THIS JUST A YEAR AND AND A HALF AGO. AND IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THE JOB DESCRIPTION WOULD'VE CHANGED OTHER THAN MAYBE TYNER MIGHT ADD A FEW WORDS LIKE HEADACHE CITY TWO.

>>I'VE BEEN MAKING DRAMATIC SUGGESTIONS TO THE JOB DESCRIPTION AND THEREFORE I THINK IT TOOK A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. I JUST MADE A MOTION ON MONDAY.

>>LIBERTY VOTED ON IT. >CLEARLY VOTED ON IT? MY BAD. I MISS THAT DISCUSSION.

MY BAD. >>I THINK MISSION ANALYSIS WAS A COMMENT TO SEE IF YOU MIGHT RECONSIDER. BECAUSE HE IS SENT TIME ALLOWS, WE COULD BEGIN THE DISCUSSION. BECAUSE NOW I THINK YOU'RE SUGGESTING SOMETHING DIFFERENT. IT'S NOT ABOUT THAT. HE NOW SUGGESTS THAT THE JOB DESCRIPTION WILL BE COMPLETELY ALTERED. IS THAT CORRECT?

>>YES-MAN. >>I'M GOOD FOR THAT DATE. SEPTEMBER 13.

>>ALRIGHTY THEN. >>JUDGE, THE LAST ONE. IF DIFFERENT NUMBER. THE LAST ONE ÃÃI DID NOT CATCH UNTIL TODAY. ACTUALLY THAT THE ITEM NUMBER 14 FROM THE ORIGINAL APPROVED BY THE COUNTY ATTORNEY DRAFT ON THE AGENDA ITEM THAT I PUT ON THE AGENDA HAD DISCUSSED AND CONSIDERED ACTION. THAT LANGUAGE IS ON THE ORIGINAL DRAFT AGREEMENT. APPROVED BY THE COUNTY ATTORNEY. AND IT WAS THEN CHANGED BY THE SUMMERLONG LINE AND NOW, THE WAY I THE OWNER, WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT BE CORRECT, EVEN IF IT CONSIDERS IT'S ON THEIR, IF IT'S NOT ON THERE, HE COULD STILL POTENTIALLY CONSIDER DON'T, I DON'T KNOW THAT FOR A FACT. AND I WAS NOT AWARE THAT THE CONSIDERED LANGUAGE WAS ON THERE. UNTIL JUST RECENTLY, BECAUSE IT WAS ON THE ORIGINAL DEAD AND THE TYPE IT ON THE PREVIOUS CHANGED WHICH I DON'T APPRECIATE THAT CHANGE BEING MADE. SO, IF JENNY IS TELLING ME THAT THIS IS NOT TO ME TO

MOVE TO TABLE THIS TO MONDAY AT 130 AS WELL. >>ALL RIGHT.

>>I'M ASKING JENNY ÃÃIF JENNY SAYS. THAT'S ACUTE FOR JENNY. >>IS THAT EMOTION?

[01:35:05]

>>NO, TO QUESTION. >>MAY PROCEED? >>OR ROBERT DREWS MIGHT NOT PRECLUDE THE ACTION, THE TOWN IS THAT THE CORE IS BEHAVED IN A CERTAINLY PRIOR. AND WE DO FEEL THAT THE CHANGE WOULD CHANGE THE OPTIONS AVAILABLE TO THE COURT TODAY. WE WOULD SAY

YES, YOU WOULD WANT TO TABLE. >>UNTIL MONDAY? >>I WOULD TABLE IT. AGAIN, POINT OUT THAT THIS ITEM WAS PUT ON BY MEET WITH LANGUAGE THAT WAS APPROVED BY THE COUNTY ATTORNEY. IT WAS POINTED OUT TO ME THAT DISCUSSION WITH STAFF, BUT SOMEHOW THIS GOT CHANGED BECAUSE THERE WAS NO AMENDMENT ATTACHED TO IT. WAS NOT GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO CURE THE AGENDA ITEM. AS BOTHERED BY THE FACT THAT THE AGENDA ITEM THAT I PUT REVIEW ON SOMEHOW CONTINUED TO CONTINUE CHANGE. IS VERY IMPORTANT TODAY. AND MAKE A MOTION ÃÃAS I CLEARLY ARTICULATED, I WANT TO LOOK AT EVERY OPTION THAT WE CAN TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT AND NOT TO THE AMPHITHEATER, BUT THE WET NEED, NOT WANT TO PROJECT.

BECAUSE THE AGENDA ITEM IS CHANGE WORDING WAS, AND PROHIBITED FROM THAT. IT'S EXTREMELY DISTURBING MEDIOCRITY WAS SOME WORDING THAT I DON'T KNOW WHY IN THE WORLD ÃTHIS IS THE COUNTY ATTORNEY APPROVED IT, THAT STAFF AND THE JUDGE AND YOUR REVIEW, I DON'T KNOW WHY IN THE WORLD YOU ALL GET TO OVERRULE THE COUNTY ATTORNEY AND THE STUFF THAT COMPANY.

STRUGGLING TO ME TO A GREAT EXTENT THAT THIS HAPPENS. THIS IS THE COURT AGENDA. THIS IS NOT ONE PERSON'S AGENDA OR THE STEPS AGENDA. THE COURT HAS THE ABILITY TO SET THIS AGENDA.

I'M A MEMBER OF THIS COURT. PERSONALLY AND PRIVATELY. HOW PUBLICLY ÃÃAPPRECIATE THAT THIS NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN. IF THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH, SOMEBODY WOULD PAY ME THE COURTESY TO TELL ME THAT MY WORDING NEEDS TO CHANGE. INSTEAD OF CHANGING THE ENTIRE INTENT OF THE ITEM THAT PRECLUDES ME FROM NOT DEALING WITH AN ISSUE THAT'S IMPORTANT IN MY OPINION TO DEAL WITH. NOT ENOUGH POTENTIAL LEGAL ISSUES WITH. AND NOW, I CAN MAKE A MOTION BASED ON THE CHANGE IN THAT. NOW, I'M MAKING THAT MOTION TO TABLE IT

TO MONDAY AT 130. >>OKAY. MOTION TO TABLE ITEM NUMBER 14. THE SECOND AND WILL MOVE THAT THE MONDAY AT 130. SEPTEMBER 13. THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY THE SAME ACT.

COMMISSIONER CHESNEY COMMISSIONER GONZALEZ. >>IT WAS ME.

>>THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT. >>THIS IS THE ONE TO GUESS WHERE AGAIN, I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE PAYING FOR THE USE OF THE FAIRGROUNDS. AND THEN WE ARE REIMBURSING THEM THE LOSS OF REVENUE THAT I THINK IT'S A THOUSAND A DAY. SO, AGAIN, I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS HAS BEEN VETTED LEGALLY AND AUDITORY WILL PRINT IT'S NOT THE RIGHT WORD. AND BY THE AUDITOR TO MAKE SURE THAT THESE ALL FOR THE REIMBURSABLE EXPENSES FROM BOTH THEIR PERSPECTIVES. SO, YOU KNOW, TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE DOING THIS RIGHT.

>>MY POSITION COMMISSIONER, YES, WE'VE GONE THROUGH THIS SEVERAL TIMES. WHEN THIS FIRST STARTED, WE HAD THE MASS VACCINATION RULES AND YOU'RE STARTING TO GET THIS AND WE DEFINITELY HAD AN AGREEMENT THAT IS BEEN BROUGHT TO COURT AND BEEN APPROVED. AS AN AGREEMENT FOR THAT NORMAL PROCESS. THIS IS TO SUPPLEMENT THINK THAT NORMAL AGREEMENT WHERE COUNTY AGREES THAT WE WILL PAY THEM A CERTAIN AMOUNT FOR LOSS OF USE OF THE FACILITY BECAUSE WE ARE ACCESSING IT BECAUSE OF VACCINES OR TESTING. AND THEN RECOVERING SMALL DOLLAR COST. SINCE WE'RE THERE, WE ARE THE ONES REIMBURSING THEM FOR SOME SMALLER EXPENSES, WHICH IS YOUR UTILITIES AND ITEMS THAT THEY HAVE THAT MAYBE THEY NEED TO SET UP A BREAKDOWN. WERE FACILITIES THAT WE HAVE AN AGREEMENT FOR THAT.

>>AGAIN, IN YOUR OPINION IN THE COUNTY ATTORNEY'S OPINION, THESE ARE ACCEPTABLE AND THEY MEET THE REQUIREMENTS TO GET REIMBURSED, BECAUSE I BELIEVE IS ALSO FALL UNDER REIMBURSABLE POTENTIAL. WE'VE BEEN PUTTING FORTH AS REIMBURSABLE EXPENSES I THINK.

>>IS ALREADY BEEN REIMBURSED SOME AMOUNT BY FOR A CARES ACT AS WELL AS OUR FUNDS. WE WILL BE SUBMITTING THOSE TO NORMAL PROCESS REIMBURSEMENT THROUGH HAGGERTY AS WELL.

>>SAME, YOU ARE GOOD? >>THAT'S IT. GREAT. GREAT ANSWERS TO.

>>. >>NOT SURE OF ANY AMOUNT. THERE ARE MANY THAT GO THROUGH SEVERAL INCHES OF THIS. I CAN WORK WITH MARIA, WE CAN WORK IN DETAIL WHAT'S BEEN REIMBURSED

SO FAR. I'M SURE WE CAN GET YOU THE INFORMATION. >>IT'S BEEN FULLY REIMBURSED?

>>OKAY. >>WE JUST BE SUPER COMPLETE HERE. WHEN WE GOT FEMA JUSTICE WHEN FEMA'S REIMBURSING OF 100 PERCENT. WHICH IS AWESOME. FEMA ALSO GAVE US AN ADVANCE FUNDING FOR MILLION DOLLARS. 50 PERCENT OF WHICH CAME TO US ALREADY. OUR SCOPE MODIFICATION WAS SUBMITTED TO INCLUDE THE RAPID INFUSION CENTERS. REMEMBER THAT ORIGINALLY WE WERE NOT KNOWING THAT WE WERE NEVER RAPID INFUSION CENTERS. SO, YES, WE WILL SUBMIT THE WAY WE DO EVERYTHING ELSE. BUT WE DO HAVE THE DOLLARS IN HAND ALREADY. IT'S JUST A MATTER OF THEM APPROVING IT. THIS IS NEW AND I DID ASK YESTERDAY IN HIS

[02:35:06]

RAPID INFUSION CENTERS WILL STAY WITH US UNTIL THERE'S NO LONGER A DEMAND.

>>SO, IT'S HARD TO THE RIGHT AMOUNT. BUT, THIS IS PROBABLY MY OPINION AN AUDACIOUS OPINION, THE PRIMARY REASON WE ARE KEEPING HOSPITALIZATIONS YOU KNOW, DOWN.

>>AND WILL QUESTION THE VALIDITY. IT'S WANT TO MAKE SURE. IF YOU DO NOT NEED TO KNOW THAT WE DID HAVE EXPECT THAT WAY. BECAUSE WE DID NOT COULD BE CHANGED. MYTHIC MARIA, WE SUBMITTED IT ABOUT A WEEK AGO LAST FRIDAY. NOT EVEN WEEK.

>>YES MA'AM, IT'S IN STEP THREE. FOR VALIDATION FROM QUITO HIM.

ACROSS FROM MEMORIAL? >>THE ONE WE HAVE THE COVID CLINIC ORIGINALLY. AND THAT'S THE ONE WHERE WE'RE DOING RAPID INFUSION AS WELL. WE ARE RUNNING TWO OF THEM. ONE OF THEM IS SUBCUTANEOUS. THEY DID INJECTIONS THERE WHILE THE IV INFUSIONS ARE BEING GROUND AT THE FAIRGROUNDS. THAT'S THE ONE WHERE KATHY TOLD US WE ARE DOING HUNDRED AND 5270 A DAY.

WE ARE BASICALLY HAVING A SEPARATE OPERATION THERE. A PEDIATRIC APPOINTMENT.

>>11,900 70 A MONTH. AND THAT IS ALSO WILL BE SUBMITTED. FOR REIMBURSEMENT.

>>I THINK WERE ACTUALLY PAYING THAT MUCH IN SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT. NUMBER TWO OR THREE. WHEN YOU KNOW, WE WERE PEAKING. AND THEN SO, WE WERE PAYING THAT MUCH BACK THEN.

NOW IT'S THE SAME RATE. AND WE GET THE SAME TEST TEST. >>WHAT DOES IT COME FROM?

>>WE ARE GETTING THIS FUNDS FROM 104, WHICH IS THE PUMPS THAT WE RECEIVED FROM FEMA FAR THE VACCINATIONS AS WELL AS THE ITEMS THAT WE RECEIVED. WE'RE GONNA PUT THIS TOGETHER AND REQUEST. ONCE WE GET THEM WORKING WITH MARIA CONSTANTLY AND HAGGERTY CONSTANTLY TO GET THE FUNDS OVER TO TINA SUBMITTING AT THE NORMAL VALUATIONS TO GET INTO A SPIRIT

WHICH WHERE WE HAVE. >>IT SEEMS LIKE WE'VE DONE MORE THAN 2 MILLION). CRITICS WANT

TO MAKE SURE. >>ALL RIGHT. SO, >>IS .2 COMMENT. CONSUMPTION A DOLLAR AMOUNT. BUT MY EXPERIENCE WITH IT LAST WEEK Ã ÃAND A CONSTITUENT CALL. IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE GOING TO THE FAIRGROUNDS, BUT THERE WERE SOME COMPLICATIONS WITH WHAT WAS EXACTLY. BUT, WE WERE ABLE TO GET THEM READY TO BE POSITIVE. AND HE GOT IN AND OUT QUICKLY. ND HE ON WITH THE HAD A DIRECT RESPONSE TO HIM ÃÃ TESTING NEGATIVE. THESE DOING A LOT BETTER. HE'S IMPROVED Ã THAT SHE IS NEGATIVE NOW. THEN HE IS NOT RECOVERY. I THINK IT'S GOT A LITTLE BIT OF A ROAD OF RECOVERY. HE COULD TELL HE WAS REALLY DRAINED. I THINK Ã ÃTHE JUST IN THE LOOKING AT THE MODIFYING THE FIFTH AGREEMENT TO THIS ÃÃI KNOW BECAUSE I KNOW INITIALLY THAT THERE'S JUST SO MUCH BACK AND FORTH ON THIS BECAUSE WE WEREN'T SURE IF TO BE SOMETHING THAT WE AS JUST THE TIMING OR THE NUMBERS HAD DROPPED ARE WE WORKING THE NEED FOR THE FACILITY. IT WORKED. IT WORKED INTO THE DIFFERENT PURPOSE AND I'M JUST THANKFUL THAT WE DO HAVE THAT AND I HOPE PEOPLE CONSIDER THAT AND USE THAT LOCATION AS WELL. BECAUSE I SAID THIS INDIVIDUAL IS IN AND OUT PRETTY QUICK. THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE FAIRGROUNDS. AND SO, THIS IS KIND OF A REMINDER FOR ME THAT IT WAS A DIFFICULT PROCESS IN THE BEGINNING. IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE ALREADY THAT IT'S BEEN ON THE FIFTH AGREEMENT. BUT IT'S A SUBLEASE THAT I THINK IT'S WELL WORTH IT. IF PROVIDING RESULTS FOR THE COMMUNITY.

>>THANK YOU. SO, COMMISSIONER, DO YOU HAVE A MOTION? >>BERGEN ASK QUESTIONS IF

THAT'S ALL RIGHT. >>WE ARE TALKING ABOUT RATIFYING THIS. RIGHT?

>>TO BE MAKE A MOTION? >YOU DID. >>MY QUESTION IS I GUESS, DO WE

[02:40:03]

HAVE TO DO IT FOR THIS LENGTH OF TIME? >>I SEE WHAT YOU MEAN.

>>THAT'S JUST THE QUESTION BECAUSE IT'S COMMITTING AND AGAIN, I THINK IT'S BEEN VIABLE. THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES WHERE MY UNDERSTANDING WAS THAT WHEN THE SURGEON WENT DOWN, THERE WAS HARDLY ANYBODY GOING TO IT. AND THEN WHEN THE SEARCH WENT UP, AND THERE WAS Ã ÃÃÃA CLOSE. SO, WE DID NOT ÃÃWHEN IT WENT DOWN, WE STOPPED THAT LEASE. AND THEN WE STARTED ANOTHER ONE. FOR EXAMPLE, THE COVID CLINIC. THAT WAS THERE.

>>IS FOR THE SAME THING, RIGHT? COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. THIS IS JUST BEEN FOR MONOCLONAL THERAPY. ROOTED IN THE COVID CLINIC ON A MUCH SMALLER BASIS. THIS IS BEEN A SMALLER

LOCATION. >>THAT'S FINE. I DID HAVE THAT. AT A FIRST AMENDMENT, BUT THERE WAS NO THE BACKUP IN MY AGENDA. SO, THE ANSWERS MY QUESTION. THANK YOU. AGAIN, UNDERSTAND THE NEED ÃÃTHEY'RE VERY EASY TO WORK WITH. WHEN IT COMES TO SAYING WE DON'T

NEED ANYMORE. >>COMMISSIONER GONZALES, YOU HAVE MOTION ÃÃI WILL SECOND.

>>NOT YOU. >>COMMISSIONER MODEST. FOR HH?

>>FF. >>I DID NOT PULL THAT OUT. >>I DID NOT HAVE BACKUP ON IT.

>>THE CAME IN LATE. WHILE AGO. I BELIEVE THIS IS SIMILAR TO WHAT WE HAD WHEN WE DID GET THRUST BACK IN THE TESTING. TESTING WAS NOT LIKE ANYTHING. UP AND DOWN. ALL THIS AND WE HAD 600 POSITIVES EVERY DAY. WE STARTED HAVING A TREMENDOUS STRESS ON THE SYSTEM FOR TESTING. AND WITH THE SHORTAGE OF NURSES, WE HAVE TO PAY. WE CANNOT VOLUNTEER YOUR WAY OUT

OF IT. THIS IS HOW WE'VE ALWAYS DONE IT. >>IS THE TECHNICAL QUESTION AGAIN BECAUSE I DID NOT HAVE MY AGENDA. AS THE COUNTY ATTORNEY REVIEW AT THIS, I WANT TO MAKE SURE ÃÃMASSES IS IN THE PRACTICE POINT FOR APPROVAL AND I'M NOT SURE ON WHETHER THE ÃÃ

AS THE COUNTY ÃÃFOR USE OF THE SHOW BARN. THERE WERE SOME ANIMAL PINS THAT HAVE BEEN THERE FROM ITS DAY BACK WHEN IT WAS THE SHOW BARN. THE KIND TO STAY THERE AND PUT TOGETHER WITH A HODGEPODGE OF CAMPAIGN TIMES IN ANY PIECE OF PLYWOOD OR CORRUGATED PLASTIC THINK YOU COULD FIND OUT THERE. AND REALLY THE INTENT I THINK WAS TO DO AWAY WITH THAT. THAT'S WHY WE ENTERED INTO THE AGREEMENT. TO OFFER THE SHOW BARN. JUST ALLOW THE ANIMALS AND THE KIDS FOR 4H AND THE AD PROGRAM OUT THERE. TO BE ABLE TO HAVE SLEEP THAT IS NICER LOOKING. AND BETTER EQUIPPED FOR VARIOUS WEATHER. EVENTS. ROB I SD CONTINUE TO USE THAT BECAUSE THE SPACE IS EASIER FOR THEM TO USE. AND IT HELPS PROVIDE THEM THE ACCESS THAT THEY NEED RATHER THAN GOING INTO THE BUILDING. WITH ALL THAT SAID ÃÃTHIS ITEM WAS BROUGHT UP ÃÃI DID NOT CREATE IT, BUT I KNOW IT'S TO HELP MOVE ALONG THE AGENDA OF WE DO

[02:45:06]

MOVE FORWARD WITH THE SHELTER Ã ÃTHINK DESIGNATED FOR THE SITE TEST TEST WITH THE PINS ARE AT.

MY ONLY CONCERN IS THAT I'VE SPOKEN TO DOCTOR BANANA BEFORE. ABOUT THIS. I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT NOT ONLY WERE THEY NOTIFIED, BUT REALLY THAT THEY HAD A CHANCE TO GET THIS TO THE BOARD. I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER. TYNER, IF YOU CAN HELP ME OR BELINDA.

F THERE BOARD ÃÃNOTHING WILL GET ATTENTION UNTIL AFTER IT'S BEEN VOTED AND MAKES THE MEDIA. AND THEN, WE ARE GOING TO GET ON THE PHONE CALLS. THAT'S MY ONLY CONCERN IS THAT

Ã¦ I CANNOT PROVE IT TODAY. >>COMMISSIONER, THERE IS NO HURRY. EDWARD INDICATED TO ME

THAT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT IT. >>I CALLED OUR FOLKS AND THE REASON I PUT THE AD ON 2022 ÃÃ ARE DESIGNED TO BE MOVEMENT ON THE ANIMAL CARE FACILITIES.

UNTIL ABOUT THAT LATE. >>EDWARDS TELLING ME THAT THEY ARE USING THE FACILITIES NOW AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO UNTIL YOU KNOW, THE CHRISTMAS TIME OR THE END OF THE YEAR.

SO, THERE IS NO HURRY ON THIS. I WOULD RATHER NOTIFY THE BOARD AHEAD OF TIME. OR TALK TO SOMEBODY IF YOU AT THE TABLE. I'M FINE WITH IT. I KNOW THAT IN THE WE'VE HAD THIS TALK. I JUST HAVE A FEELING THAT IT WILL TURN INTO WHAT HAPPENED AND WHY. ESPECIALLY

IF WE DON'T NEED IT RIGHT NOW. BY NO MEANS. >>IT BRINGS UP ANOTHER ISSUE AND I KNOW I SPOKE WITH JENNY. BEFORE ON THIS ADAM AND MAYBE TONYA OR BELINDA. ON ÃÃWE HAVE A CONTRACT WITH THEM AND I THINK IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE RENEWED. IT'S ON AN ANNUAL BASIS? I DON'T HAVE THE CONTRACT IN FRONT OF ME. MAYBE IT WAS BELINDA THAT I TALK TO

ABOUT THIS WHEN I ON THIS ISSUE IS FIRST BROUGHT UP NEXT. >>HEAVILY WEEKS AGO.

>>I RESEARCHED IT AND IN THE PAST AND IT MIGHT BE EXPIRED. BUT I NEED TO DOUBLE CHECK TO SEE IF IT'S NOT AUTOMATICALLY RENEWING. O, IF THAT WILL GIVE US TIME

TO CHECK OUT THE CONTRACT. >>THIS NEED TO BE NEEDED WITHIN THE YEAR OR WAS IT LIKE A THREE YEAR OR FOUR YEAR TERM? AND SO, I DON'T RECALL THE ANSWER WAS WITH THAT. IF THERE IS A NEED TO RENEW, MAYBE WE CAN BRING IT BACK ALTOGETHER. AT THE NEXT MEETING. AND I'LL MAKE SURE TO REACH OUT TO DOCTOR AGAIN. AND TO THE BOARD PRESIDENT AND LET THEM KNOW WHAT THE PLANS ARE KIND OF REMIND HIM THAT THAT WAS THE INTENT. JUDGE, IN COURT FROM BEFORE. WE AGREED WITH THIS BACK IN 18 OR 19 WHEN WE WENT THROUGH WITH THIS. IT WAS TO GET RID OF IT AND REGARDLESS OF WHATEVER WE HAD PLANNED FOR THEIR, JUST BECAUSE OF THE UNSIGHTLY NESTS OF THE AND TO PUSH THEM INTO THE NEXT FACILITY. THERE THE SHOW BARN.

THOSE. >>THIS IS SOMETHING THAT MAYBE WE CAN TALK ABOUT LATER. WHEN I ÃÃA MATTER OF PRACTICE THAT WE CAN CHANGE. IT'S ALSO I. I ALSO BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A NEED TO HAVE INDEPENDENT COUNSEL FOR THE HEALTH DISTRICT. THEY GET TO WORK WITH US BECAUSE WHAT WE ARE IS JUDICIARIES. YOU KNOW? WE ARE EITHER APPLICANTS OR WE ARE FIDUCIARIES AND 1115 WAIVER. YOU CANNOT REPRESENT BOTH SIDES. AND SO, THAT IS

SOMETHING I THINK WE CAN WORK THROUGH. >>BECAUSE THEN THE TWO LAWYERS WOULD PREP EVERYTHING BETTER. AND I'VE BEEN REALLY PUSHING FOR THIS BECAUSE THE SAME THING HAPPENED AT THE CITY. HEY MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT THAT THEY HAVE AN $18 MILLION GRANT THAT THEY APPROVE. THAT'S COMPLETELY INACCURATE. IT'S NOT THERE. IT'S NOT A CITY GRANT. THE CITY COUNTY GRANT. AND THEY ACT AS IF A JUDICIARY ALMOST THE TRUSTEE TO BE THE STEWARD OF THOSE DOLLARS. RIGHT? ANYWAY, AND I THINK IT HAPPENS JUST BECAUSE NOBODY PUBLIC HEALTH IN THE FOREFRONT UNTIL RECENTLY. FLOATED WITH SHOULD'VE ALWAYS BEEN AT THE FOREFRONT. NOW IT'S LOADED WITH ISSUES IN THE CHART. GREAT. I THINK THAT WOULD BE GREAT. IT WOULD HELP US IN THE WAY THAT WE NOT WERE REPRESENTING THE COUNTY AND HEALTH DISTRICT. SOME POLITICAL JURISDICTION. HAS ITS OWN. AND WE, FOOD FOR

THOUGHT. >>WILL MOVE FORWARD. >>IT'S GOING TO MEANT MY MOTION BECAUSE TO INCLUDE FOR THEM, WE WILL CERTAINLY WANT THE COUNTY ATTORNEY TO REVIEW ALL OF THEM.

>>I WOULD DO HIM JUSTICE FOR EVERYONE TO DO IT AGAIN. I WOULD COMMEND THEM FOR G, I AND

J ALSO. >>I'M FINE WITH THAT. AS LONG AS YOU WOULD WORK WITH JUSTICE IF YOU NOTICE WHAT IT DOES WITH THAT IS THAT IT TELLS US THAT BASICALLY IT AUTHORIZES THE DIRECTOR TO BASICALLY SIGN ON OUR BEHALF. SO, YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND LOOK AT THEM IN CHECK. SOME OF THEM ARE LIKE WERE COMING. LET'S SAY THE WATER SIMPLY. WE DO THAT EVERY YEAR. YOU KNOW? THAT IS NOT A WEIRD ONE ÃÃTHAT IS WHEN THE CONTRIBUTE ALL THE TIME. AND THEN NUMBER TWO JUSTICE TWO. H Ã¦ AND J. ON CRITICAL THERE ARE TIME SENSITIVE. JUST LET US KNOW WHAT YOU NEED JENNY. THOSE DEFINITION I'M HAPPY. I WOULD APPRECIATE IF YOU WOULD LOOK THEM ALL OVER AND YOU THINK IN THE FUTURE THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO GET THEM COUNSEL SO THEY CAN TEST JUST LIKE YOU SAID, IT'S MOSTLY COMMUTER COVID ATTORNEY.

>>JUDGE, IT'S INITIALLY A COUNTY ATTORNEY REVISIT TO MR. THAT THERE'S NOT LIABILITY THAT WE ARE NOT AWARE OF ON OUR PART. BECAUSE WE ARE AUTHORIZING THE HEALTH DISTRICT AND THEN BACKING OFF. SO, I WANT THE COUNTY TO BE THE ONE THAT'S RESPONSIBLE ASSUMING

THIS IS OF SOMETHING WE ARE HELPING THEM DO. >>I THINK IT'S KIND OF WHAT I WANT TO LOOK AT AS WELL. PROBABLY NO BIG DEAL, BUT Ã¦ TWO MORE COMPLEX THAN THAT.

THAT'S WHY SHE SHOULD LOOK AT THE HEALTH DISTRICT IS IT SOMEBODY. AND IT HAS JUSTICE

AND IT'S NEVER BEEN TREATED CORRECTLY. >>AND IT'S BECAUSE QUITE FRANKLY ÃÃTHEY WERE THE STEPCHILD ORGANIZATION. ALL OF A SUDDEN WHAT IS LIKE OH MY GOSH. PUBLIC HEALTH MOST IMPORTANT DEPARTMENT. AND THEY NEED TO ÃÃTHEIR OWN AUTONOMY.

AND THAT WAY THEY CAN FUNCTION JUSTICE BECAUSE WHAT YOUR PARTICIPANTS UNDERSTAND THE IN THE COUNTY. AND THEN WE HAVE THIS AGREEMENT ON HOW WE ARE GOING TO PAY FOR THINGS AND HOW WE'RE GONNA JUDICIARY. HESE GOODS CAN BE DIFFERENT. IN THAT RESPECT I THINK IT'S A

GOOD IDEA JENNY. >>AGITATE TO ASK THIS. I'M SORRY TO SAY CAN YOU HURT? THAT ONE, IF YOU DON'T MIND, IF YOU PUT THAT AT THE TOP OF THE LIST.

>>ABSOLUTELY JUDGE. IT WAS GIVEN TO US PRIOR. WE WENT INWARD ON THIS ONE FOR THE OTHER HAS NOT BEEN PROVIDED AT ALL. DON'T WE START FROM SCRATCH.

>>THESE ARE DISHES SEE CONTRACTS FOR DIFFERENT WE CAN CHANGE. IT COULD BE SUBSTANTIAL HOW WE GO ABOUT IT. IT'S MORE OF A PROCESS. QUESTION CAN CHANGE DISHES HIS GRADES. UNIT? OR THE LANGUAGE. BUT YOU COULD CHANGE THE WAY THE PROCESS IS DONE.

GOING TO MOVE INTO THE HEART OF THE MATTER AS THEY SAY. AND THE REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS. THE ARPA IS THREE I WANT. JUST FOR RESOURCE TEST HISTORY OF CAITLIN TAYLOR, BUT I THINK THAT THIS IS BROUGHT TO OUR ATTENTION TODAY BECOMES IT WAS A GOOD REMINDER TO THE COURT AND DOWN, I THINK WE HAVE A SLIGHT YOU HAVE THE SIDE, WE CAN JUST READ IT. ACTUALLY, I'VE GOT ONE. TERESA, CAN I GET MY ÃÃIT'S IN GREEN FOLDER ON MY DESK.

>>WAS THE BACKUP? >>IS JUST A REMINDER OF JUSTICE WITH COURT SERVICES. IT WILL

BE SMART TO GO OVER IT AGAIN. >>NO, THERE'S NOT BACKUP IT IS JUST A REMINDER OF WHICH WERE THE ONES THAT ÃÃWHICH POSITION WOULD LEND ITSELF TO AMERICAN RELIEF PLAN ACT FUNDING. EITHER DUE TO INFRASTRUCTURE ÃÃTECHNOLOGY POSITIONS OR MOST REVENUE TO

CUSTOMÁ I HEAR YOU JUST WISH I THINK IT'S JUST WE WILL MAKE SURE THAT YES. WE WILL JUST

MAKE SURE THAT. >>YES. >>I REALLY ÃÃTHIS IS A RECURRING TODAY. SO, IF AT THE DISCUSSION JUSTICE I'M NOT DOING IT TODAY BECAUSE IT DID ONCE BEFORE. I MEANT MR. SAMPSON START MAKING MOTIONS TO TABLE IF THERE ISN'T BACKUP BECAUSE IT'S NOT FAIR TO WALK IN HERE AND SOME HENRY SOMETHING AT THE LAST MINUTE

AND EXPECT ME TO BE ABLE TO GO OVER PRINT. >>THERE'S NOTHING NEW HERE.

>>LIKE IT. I BELIEVE YOU. ON THIS ONE. AGAIN, THAT IS NOT MORE THAN TWO JUST TOLD ME. IN THE RUSSO OTHERS TO BE POINTED OUT DURING THIS MEETING.

GOING FORWARD, EFFICIENT BACKUP IN THE AGENDA THAT I CAN GET ON ON FRIDAY, THEN I'M GONNA MAKE A MOTION TO TABLE ON WEDNESDAY. BEGGING EVERYBODY TO PLEASE GIVE US BACK IN. PLEASE GIVE US BACK UP. IT'S JUST NOT A FAIR POSITION TO PUT US IN. TO NOT HAVE THE STUFF TO BE ABLE TO REVIEW. I CAN WE ALSO THIS COURT. I SPEND MY WEEKEND READING THESE AGENDAS AND IF IT'S NOT IN THERE, I DON'T KNOW.

>>I HEAR YOU. >>I THINK THAT IS FINE. >>THINK. THAT'S FINE. I THINK THAT THE CONCEPT TODAY IS JUST TO REMIND THE COURT THAT THERE ARE POSITIONS THAT WE HAVE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT AND HAD POWERPOINT PRESENTATIONS ON. AND THIS IS JUST A REMINDER TO SIGN WE ACTUALLY REMEMBERED AND VOTED ON THE PRIORITIZE STATION. THEY INCLUDE CLIFF GUARD SERVICE. THIS IS UNITING US EVEN NECESSARILY IN THE BUDGET. THE STATE FOR EXAMPLE ÃÃWE TALKED LAST COURT ABOUT VETERAN SERVICES. LOSING THEIR HUNDRED $50,000 GRANT. AND WHAT WAS NEEDED WAS A TEMPORARY POSITION AND PROBABLY DELL 29 TO 33,000. I CANNOT REMEMBER.

BOX 23,000. >>29? >>29 23. 23,000. BECAUSE THAT THE TEMPORARY POSITION, CLICK ON TO SHOW UP, BUT I WANTED TO REMIND YOU THAT THAT WOULD BE COVERED BY ARPA. THAT HE WILL NOT WORRY ABOUT INSIDE OF THE BUDGET DISCUSSION.

>>JUDGE, I WASN'T PICKING ON THIS ONE. I APOLOGIZE. THERE ARE BEEN FOR FIVE TIMES TODAY WERE I SAID THERE IS NO BACKUP AND JUST REALLY GOING FORWARD, AND AGAIN, BECAUSE I HAVE TO GO

[03:00:02]

FIND THAT NOW BECAUSE I HAVE READ IT AS NEW. I CAN CATCH UP, BUT ON THAT ONE, BUT ON SOME OF THEM, LIKE THESE CONTRACTS AND STUFF, IT'S JUST A LITTLE Ã¦

>>I WOULD ASK ALSO THAT THERE WOULD BE SOME DUE DILIGENCE. I BELIEVE LIFE IS A HIGHLY PRETTY GOES TWO WAYS. SO, WHEN YOU SEE THERE'S NO BACKUP ON FRIDAY, CALL THE COURT ADMINISTRATOR AND SAFETY OF A DRAFT VERSION? BECAUSE WHAT THEY TRY TO PROVIDE YOU OR I WOULD SAY DECODED MINISTRY. BUT THE DRAFT VERSION AND WITH THE NOTE THAT SAYS YOU'RE WAITING! SIGNATURE. THE TRUTH IS THAT I CARE YOU AND WHEN IT'S NEW, YOU HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO SAY I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. BUT IF THERE'S A DRAFT VERSION AND YOU ARE JUST WAITING FOR THEIR SIGNATURE AS TESTED TO CLASSIC SIGNATURE IF YOU CONCUR IT IMMEDIATELY.

>>DRAFT IS FINE. >>THINK A DRAFT WITH A LITTLE CHANGE OF NOTHING.

>>THAT'S RIGHT. WILL WORK ON THAT. >>IT'S ONE SOMETHING.

>>AGAIN, FOR TODAY, IT WAS JUST A REMINDER THAT LIFEGUARD SERVICES ÃÃBECAUSE THAT WAS IDENTIFIED AS A BUDGET CHALLENGE. WE THOUGHT THAT WOULD BE A GOOD AMERICAN RELIEF PLAN IS A COURT TO THE CS CD FOLKS. THOSE WERE YOUR RISK ASSESSORS. WE THOUGHT THAT WAS GOING TO BE GOOD. WE THOUGHT THE SOLVING THE VETERANS COURT ISSUE ÃTHAT SHE WOULD RECALL LAST COURT SOLVING THE DA'S RESTITUTION ANALYST ISSUE. THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT WE HAD SAID I GUESS FROM WHEN WE PROVIDE A COPY OF THE BUDGET, WE PROVIDE YOU A LIST OF THE SALARIES INFORMATION. IT'S VERY SHOWING ARPA FUNDS.

I'M JUST LETTING EVERYBODY KNOW THAT IF YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT THEM, THOSE ÃÃ THAT IS THE AMERICAN RELIEF PLAN ACT. OPPORTUNITY THAT AFFORDS US THE OPPORTUNITY TO THOSE POSITIONS. I THOUGHT THAT WAS IMPORTANT IF YOU HAD ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT IT. WE COULD ASK DALE. WE ALSO HAVE KAYLYNN TAYLOR ON THE LINE.

IT'S JUST A MATTER OF ITS REMINDER BEFORE BUDGET. WHERE HOW THOSE CAN BE TAKEN CARE OF.

WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM. LAST CORPORATE LAST CUP PUBLIC HEARING. THE ARE BUT WOULD BE AN OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE CARE OF ALL THOSE. IN THE COURT SEEMED TO INDICATE THAT THAT WAS OF INTEREST. THAT THAT WAS WHAT THEY WANTED TO DO. IF THERE'S NO CONCERNS OR COMMENTS, THE OTHER ONE WAS A CONSTABLE NUMBER FOUR.

>>YES. >>YOU MISSED WHEN YOU WALKED OUT ÃÃHE SAID HE WENT OVER THE I DID NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE PRIOR LIST. SO, I DID NOT HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL CONCERNS. I THOUGHT NEW AND I DID OVER ADDING AND IN ANYMORE.

>>WE REQUIRE ALL ÃÃTHE RECOVERY ASSISTANCE AND GOING FOR THE VETERANS ASSISTANCE.

[03:05:01]

>>ITEM 6. I GOT THAT LANGUAGE IN FRONT OF ME FIRST. SO, I'M GONNA SKIP TO ITEM 6 FIRST.

>>AND SO, I WILL READ THE APPROPRIATE LANGUAGE. THIS YEAR'S PROPOSED TAX RATE EXCEEDS THE NEW REVENUE TAX RATE. FOR SETTING THE TAX RATE MUST BE A RECORD VOTE. 60 PERCENT OF THE GOVERNING BODY MUST VOTE IN FAVOR OF THE ADOPTION OF THE TAX RATE.

GOING TO READ AND PLACE IT AS A MOTION. INTO THE RECORD. >>I KNEW THAT THE PROPERTY TAX RATE WOULD BE INCREASED FOR THE ADOPTION OF A TAX RATE BY .11 ONE 82 FOUR. I WILL REPEAT

THAT CURRENT JUST A SECOND. >>WHICH IS EFFECTIVELY A 5.3 PERCENT INCREASE IN THE TAX

RATE. >>IS THAT THE CEILING THAT WE SAID BEFORE? JUST BELOW THAT.

>>THAT'S BELOW THAT. THE CEILING WAS AN EIGHT. >>I'M SORRY. I'M SORRY GO

AHEAD. >>THE CEILING WAS EIGHT PERCENT.

>>AND THIS IS THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT. AND THIS TAX RATE, I'M GONNA READ IT ONE MORE TIME. IS.111824. JUST EFFECTIVELY A 5.3 INCREASE IN THE TAX RATE. IT ALSO REPRESENTS LAST YEAR'S TAX RATE IN THIS YEAR'S LIKELY TO FUND MAINTENANCE EXPENDITURE EXCEEDS LAST YEAR'S MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS TAX LEVY. THE FOLLOWING STATEMENTS MUST BE INCLUDED IN THE RESOLUTION. I NEED TO READ THEM. SO, THIS TAX RATE WILL RAISE MORE TAXES FOR MAINTENANCE OPERATION AND LAST TAX RATE. THE TAX RATE WILL EFFECTIVELY BE RAISED BY 4.47 PERCENT AND WILL RAISE TAXES ON MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS ON THE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLAR HOME BY APPROXIMATELY IT SAYS ZERO DOLLARS.

T'S THE SAME RATE. >>IT'S THE SAME RATE. >>OF COURSE THERE IS SOME NOTICE PROVISIONS THAT WE HAVE TO DO THE APPROPRIATE TIME. IT'S REALLY CALLED POSTING PROVISION. ON THE HOMEPAGE OF OUR WEBSITE. THAT IS MY MOTION. THAT THE PROPERTY TAX RATE INCREASE. WITH THE ADOPTION OF A TAX RATE OF 111. THE 24 ÃÃWHICH EFFECTIVELY IS A INCREASE AND IS WHAT WE HEARD FROM JOHNNY HIP. THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD. HERE THIS

MORNING. >>AND I WOULD LOOK FOR A SECOND. AND I GOT A SECOND.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? >>SORRY. I ASK THIS OF DALE. IT'S MORE OF THINK AN ODD THING THAT WE PUT IN THIS YOU THOUSAND HOUSE. BECAUSE I THINK THE MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD IS

150. OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. >>UNFORTUNATELY THIS IS A SOFTWARE THAT COME FROM OUR CONTRACTOR. AND THE PEOPLE OVER THERE ÃÃI AGREE THAT THE HOUSE IS NOT REALLY A TRUE FAIR SHARE OF WHAT IT IS. UNFORTUNATELY THE SOFTWARE CAME FROM THE STATE. WE TO ABIDE BY

WHAT THE STATE USES. >>WE CAN TALK TO THEM ABOUT THAT.

>>I WOULD JUST LIKE TO. I DON'T EVEN KNOW I HAVE TO PUT THAT IN THERE. IN OTHER WORDS, YOU ARE PUTTING IN THERE WITH THE INCREASE IS OR ISN'T. THAT'S Ã¦

>>I THINK THIS IS THE LANGUAGE THAT'S GIVEN TO US BY THE STATE.

>>THAT'S WHAT DALE TOLD ME. I WOULD JUST LIKE TO ASK THAT WE CHECK TO SEE IF THAT HAS TO BE IN THERE. I GET THAT IT'S GIVEN TO US. IS THERE SOME STATUTE THAT SAYS?

>>YES, I'M LOOKING AT. UNFORTUNATELY. STATUTE. 26 POINT WILL BE THE TOP PROPERTY TAX CODE. IT REALLY DID NOT MAKE SENSE TO ME. THIS IS THE EXACT LANGUAGE. SO, CAN YOU

READ THAT? >>I WILL READ IT AGAIN. JUST THE PART ABOUT THE HUNDRED

THOUSAND DOLLAR HOME? >>WHITE HAS TO BE IN THERE LIKE THAT. IT'S KIND OF ODD TO ME.

>>I DON'T KNOW WHY IT HAS TO BE IN THERE. I JUST KNOW THAT HAS TO BE THAT THIS IS WHY. THE

ORDER ITSELF ÃÃI'VE GOT A COPY OF IT. >>AND ACTUALLY ÃÃWHAT I'M JUST QUOTING FROM THE PROPERTY TAX. NEXT I KNOW THAT IT'S IN THE ORDER AND I KNOW THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FROM THE STATE. BECAUSE DALE WAS KIND ENOUGH TO SHARE THAT WITH ME FOR SOMEBODY TO INQUIRE, I THINK IT'S A LITTLE THING WE ARE DOING HERE, BUT IT'S A LITTLE MISLEADING TO SAY THAT THE TAX INCREASE. ON $100,000 HOME. BEING A TAX INCREASE WHEN IT'S A HIGH TAX INCREASE FOR THE OTHER 85 PERCENT OF THE PEOPLE LIVE IN THE COMMUNITY. MANY THINK IT'S A LITTLE MISLEADING IS NOT NOBODY'S ACCUSING ANYBODY. I'M NOT ACCUSING ANYBODY HERE. IF ANYTHING AT ALL. I'M JUST ASKING UP AND GO CHECK THAT AND SEE IF THAT ABSOLUTELY IS A STATE LAW THAT SAYS THAT EXAMPLE HAS TO BE IN THERE. WHERE IT'S JUST SOMETHING THAT THEY HAVE PROGRAMMED IN LIKE A CONVENIENCE. THAT'S ALL I'M ASKING. I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE

THAT OUT OF THE ORDER IF THE STATE LAW ALLOWS. >>

[INDISCERNIBLE] >>WE WILL REACH OUT TO THE CONTOURS TAX OFFICE AND SAY

WITH A SIGH. >>IF ANYBODY ELSE DOES ÃÃ DOESN'T AGREE WITH ME, YOU CAN

SAY THAT. >>I JUST FEEL LIKE. >>THIS IS THE LANGUAGE THAT HAS

[03:10:03]

BEEN PROVIDED AND SHOULD ADOPT, BUT I WOULD BE HAPPY TO WE SHOULD LOOK INTO IT. BUT AGAIN, I THINK THEY DO THAT BECAUSE THEY WANT YOU TO KNOW WHAT THE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLAR EFFECT IS. AND FROM THERE, YOU CAN MAKE YOUR OWN CALCULATIONS. AS TO WHAT IT

WOULD BE FOR 200,000. OR 300,000. >>COMMISSIONER, IF YOU SAW

THAT, WE WOULD GO FROM 141,249 ON AVERAGE. >>THAT'S FOR THE END RACES ARE

GONNA BE. >>NOT AT ALL. IT'S JUST AN INCREASE OR IT'S NOT AN INCREASE. THAT'S ALL PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW. IS THERE TAX INCREASE?

>>THERE IS NO TAX INCREASE THIS YEAR. IT'S THE SAME AS LAST YEAR. DEPENDING UPON YOUR

APPRAISAL, THAT'S THE DIFFERENT SUBJECT MATTER. >>THE TAX RATE IS THE SAME.

>>REMAIN THE SAME FOR THE HOSPITAL. THAT WOULD BE CORRECT.

>>LEGALLY IT'S A 5.3 PERCENT TAX INCREASE. ASK THE REVENUE CORRECT.

>>MIGHT BE A TAX INCREASE FOR EVERYONE, BUT IT'S A TAX INCREASE FOR ÃÃI DON'T HOW

MANY PEOPLE. LOT. >>AN EFFECTIVE TAX RATE.

>>NO I AGREE. TAX RATE IS THE SAME. >>EXCUSE ME JUDGE. WHAT I MEANT Ã¦ I ASKED HIM WHAT WOULD BE GOOD FIVE PERCENT? THEY SAID THEY CANNOT DO IT

WITH FIVE PERCENT. >>I THINK. >>I HEARD YOU AND YOUR CONVERSATION THIS MORNING. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE BOARD IS ASKING FOR 5.3 PERCENT. THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE BOARD. AND THEY DID THAT BASED UPON THE BUDGET. THEY WANT TO PROPOSE. YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE ASKING. HAVE A MOTION IN THE SECOND. AND WE WILL CHECK ON THAT LANGUAGE. LISA, DID YOU WANT TO SAY SOMETHING?

>>THE LANGUAGE IS REQUIRED BY PROPERTY TAX CODE 26.05. V. IT'S REQUIRED THAT THE LANGUAGE FOR WHATEVER YOU'RE MAKING THE LANGUAGE TO MAKE THE MOTION AND ALSO THE LANGUAGE IS TO WHAT

YOU HAVE TO PUT IN THE ORDER IS ALSO PRESCRIBED. >>AND SPECIFICALLY STATES THE

EXACT FORMAT THAT DOES HAVE THE 100,000. >>COULD YOU MAKE A COPY OF THAT

PLEASE? >>YES, SIR I WILL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO PERPLEX DID THE SAME THING. I TOOK A COPY OF 26.05 FEET AND PRINTED OUT. IT'S MANY NICELY HIGHLIGHTED FOR ME.

>>WE ARE READING IT STRAIGHT FROM THE STATUTE. >>IS THE HUNDRED THOUSAND

>>THE BUDGET IS ÃJUSTICE CAN REQUIRE THE DISTRICT TO GO AND COMPLETELY REDO THEIR BUDGET.

CALCULATION OF THE TAX RATE. >>,ASK A QUESTION JUDGE? >>YES.

>>UNGULATE THEY'LL EXPLAIN HOW THAT CREATES TO. >>BY HOURS.

>>I WAS GONNA SAY IT HAS TO DO WITH GO AHEAD. NEXT THE OTHER CANCELLATIONS BASED ON LEVEES AND VALUES AND CERTAIN EVALUATIONS. YOUR MAIN TOPIC WRITEUP IS THAT THE PROPERTY TAX BE INCREASED BY FIVE PERCENT, WHICH IS GOING FROM RATE TO BREAK. WHICH MEANS YOUR RATES FROM REVENUE TAX TO ADOPTED RATE IS FIVE PERCENT. HOWEVER YOUR LEVY WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT YOUR LEVY FROM LAST YEAR THIS YEAR BASED ON THE EVALUATION IS A POOR .17

PERCENT INCREASE IN THE LEVY. >>YOU BRING IN. >>RIGHT. SO, ÃÃBREAK THE RATE. THE FIVE PERCENT IS MEASURED. YOUR BASELINE IS THAT YOUR AFFECTED. NOT REALLY EVIDENT. PART PERCENT OF. NO NEW REVENUE PEOPLE .1 PERCENT EVERY LEVY. THAT'S REALLY THE

FASTEST WAY TO SAY. >>THAT'S FAIR. SO, IN THE TO THE TAXATION LAWS. THEY DON'T WANT TO PUT IN THERE THAT IT'S A FIVE PERCENT RATE INCREASE OVERALL. THEY JUST SAY YOU HAVE TO PUT IT LEVY INCREASE. BECAUSE THE RATE AT THE VERY TOP IS BASED ON A RATE NUMBER

.1 POINT 520. THE NEW REVENUE TAX RATE IS BASED ON LEVEES. >>TALK ABOUT THIS HERE.

>>BASED ON THE VERY TOP. WHEN YOU TALKING ABOUT YOUR NEW REVENUETAX. .106192. CALCULATE UP TO 1.502. THAT'S A FIVE PERCENT INCREASE PER PURPOSES ONLY.

>>BUT THE RATES TO EVALUATIONS AND THE LEVEES, SUPPORT POINT PERCENT INCREASE OF LEVY.

>>I UNDERSTAND. YOU DON'T HAVE TO DISCLOSE DISHES TRUTH IN TAXATION. THAT NOT ONLY IS IT WILL .17 PERCENT AGAINST THE LEVY, BUT IT'S A .83 PERCENT AGAINST WHATEVER. HAVE TO DO

THAT. >>THE HABIT. >>BARS WILL BE DIFFERENT. BUT THEN IN THE TRUTH IN TAXATION, 60 ORDER IS DEFINITELY COMPLIANT WITH THE LAW.

>>I'M NOT ÃÃI DON'T REALLY AGREE WITH HOW THE TOGETHER CLIMB BASICALLY INCREASING ON LEVEES AND VALUES. THE ONLY IS BASED ON RATES. RATE ACCESS RATE NUMBER IS FIVE PERCENT.

INCREASE FOR THE COUNTY. A SLIGHT IN THE PAST YOU HAVE PROVIDED THOSE NUMBERS AS TO Ã ÃPROBABLY DIDN'T ASK FOR THIS YEAR, I'M NOT SAYING YOU DID PROVIDE ME SOMETHING. THE 70 PEOPLE AFFECTED. HIS AGAIN, IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THE GOING TO AFFECT 80 PERCENT OF

OUR PEOPLE ABOUT 65 PERCENT. >>ABOUT ON AVERAGE 65 PERCENT. GIVEN THE INCREASE OF THE

VIPER. >>65 PERCENT OF PEOPLE WILL GET ON THE AVERAGE INCREASE IN

THEIR TAX INCREASE. >>THAT'S FINE. >>IS JUST AN INTERESTING WAY TO WRITE. WILL BE THAT WAY, WHATEVER WE DO ON HOURS, BECAUSE WE DO THE OTHER SIDE OF IT. SO, RAISE IT LIKE TO 3.4, WAS THE SET ÃÃTHAT'S WHEN THE STATE 3.4.

>>THE BOTTOM AS WELL, BECAUSE BASED ON BASED ON RATE NUMBER IS A FIXED THE DECIMAL POINT A LARGE VALUE NUMBER OF LEVY. SO, THOSE ARE NEVER GOING TO BE THE SAME.

>>WELL, OKAY. >>IT'S DEFINITELY CONFUSING AND SPENT HOURS AND HOURS TRYING TO SHOW YOU HOW DOES THIS AND AGREE WITH HOW THE STATE IS THE CALCULATIONS. BECAUSE THEY USE VALUE ON ONE PAGE THAT DOESN'T MATCH THE VALUE OF THE PAGE. WE CONSIDER PERCENTAGE OF THAT.

I AM NOT IN FAVOR OF HOW THEY DO THAT EITHER. UNFORTUNATELY WE HAVE TO GO BY WHAT THEY GO

FOR AS. >>OKAY, I'M NOT READY TO READ THE MAGIC HERE. THIS IS RECENTLY CALCULATED. SO, THESE ARE THE PATIENTS.

HEARINGS DURING THE INTERIM. BUT THERE'S ALSO LOOKING AT PUTTING TOGETHER A HUGE TASK

FORCE. MEMBERS ALSO GO TO PATRICIA. THAT IS CORRECT. >>THERE IS ALSO BEING INTERIM ISSUES THAT DEAL WITH ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. FRONT AND CENTER RIGHT NOW WE ARE WORKING WITH GENERAL LANDS OFFICE. YOU HEARD FROM THE JUDGE AND HEALTH SERVICES. TURN OVER THE MONITORING SOME MORE PARTNERS COST 3930 THROUGH THE INTERIM. IT'S IMPORTANT IN YOUR

PRECINCTS. >>BEFORE GETTING TO THAT, THIS NEXT SPECIAL SESSION IS GOING TO BE CONVENED ON THE 20TH. THIS WILL BE DEALING WITH 18 Á$18 BILLION. THAT'S WHEN YOU GET APPROPRIATED VARIOUS ENTITIES ACROSS THE STATE NUECES COUNTY IS PART OF.

>>WE NEED TO BE SURE THAT WAS DOWN TOP OF THAT. LUCKILY WE'VE GOT SOME GOOD KEY PEOPLE ON THE APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE. WE CAN RELY ON. IS A LOT OF MONEY COMING TO US.

WE ARE ENTITLED TO. AND AS YOU CONTINUE TO AS YOU POINTED OUT EARLIER JUDGE, THE GOOD NEWS COMING FROM THE STATE TO GIVE YOU ALL SUFFICIENT TIME TO DEMOBILIZE TO GET REIMBURSED FOR ME. NOW, AT SOME POINT, THAT MIGHT CHANGE. AT LEAST YOU WILL HAVE AMPLE OPPORTUNITY TO DEMOBILIZE. WITH THE WAY THAT PANDEMIC IS NOT BEEN SEARCHING, I'M DOUBTFUL THAT WE'RE GONNA BE DEMOBILIZING ANYTIME SOON. OW, IN REFERENCE TO THE LEGISLATION THAT GEORGIA HAS MENTIONED THERE IS NOT GOING TO BE ÃÃTHIS IS CAN BE THE FIRST TIME WE HAD AN INTERIM STUDY POINT INTERIM STUDY BETWEEN HOUSE AND THE SENATE THAT'S TAKING PLACE IN THE LAST 12 TO 14 YEARS. IT'S IN REGARDS TO LEGISLATION DEALING WITH PLUG-IN ALL WELL. ABANDON ALL WELLS. THE LEGISLATION DID NOT MAKE IT THROUGH, BUT THEY AGREE TO HAVE AN INTERIM STUDY TO START SOMETHING HOW WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO DEAL WITH ESTES WE HAVE OVER 70 2000 UNPLUGGED WELLS. EVEN THOUGH SOME AS WE GO ALONG, WE CAN'T SEEM TO CATCH UP. WE HAVE AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF UNPLUGGED WELLS AND OASIS COUNTY. SPACE AND THE NORTHERN PART OF THE COUNTY. IT'S TROUBLESOME BECAUSE NUMBER ONE FROM OUR WORSHIP TO COME AS WE CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD TRYING TO MOVE FORWARD ON THE DRAINAGE PROBLEM, THE PRIORITY WELLS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ON THE FLATS. OUT ON THE ISLAND. AND WILL NOT ESTES BECAUSE THOSE PRESENT THE MOST DANGER. YOU HAVE A SPELL OR A RUPTURED PIPELINE THAT HAS BEEN COMPLETELY PLUGGED ADEQUATELY. SO, THERE'S GOING TO BE A AN INTERIM STUDY BETWEEN MADE UP OF BOTH HOUSE AND SENATE MEMBERS AND THEY WILL BE HOPEFULLY THAT'S JUST THEY WILL BECOME THE SOUTH TEXAS BECAUSE WE DO HAVE AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF UNPLUGGED WELLS IN OUR REGION. BUT NUECES COUNTY ÃÃ ESPECIALLY HERNANDEZ AND JACKSON MINUSES DISTRICT AND IMPACT ALL OF THEM. EVEN IN RENTAL. ONES THAT ARE MOST DANGEROUS. BECAUSE THEY'RE THE ONES IN THE WATER. SO, AGAIN, YOU THINK THAT WE HAVE POINTED OUT THE GREATEST THING THAT

[03:45:05]

WILL TO ACCOUNT WAS BEFORE THE START OF LAST SESSION ESTES WE STARTED EARLY. AND PREPARING AGENDA. AND THAT IS OF PARAMOUNT IMPORTANCE YOU ARE GOING TO TRY TO HAVE AN AGENDA AND SO, WE HAVE AMPLE OPPORTUNITY TO DO SOMETHING STORM INTERIM SO DON'T DESIRE.

IN THE MEANTIME, UNLIKE PATRICIA JUST POINTED OUT, DURING THE LAST SESSION, THERE WERE 17 BILLS ÃÃEXCUSE ME, MORE THAN 17 BILLS GOT INTRODUCED, 14 OF THEM GOT PAST. THE GOVERNOR ALREADY CALLED FOR FOR SO FAR. PARAMOUNT IMPORTANCE AND TALKING CHAIRMAN HUNTER LAST YESTERDAY ESTES CAN BE REDISTRICTING AND THE APPROPRIATIONS OF THOSE DOLLARS THAT OF WHICH WE WILL BE ENTITLED TO., WE KNOW THAT LIKE PATRICIA POINTED OUT, FIVE BILLS HAVE BEEN INTRODUCED. 13 OF THEM AFFECT NUECES COUNTY.

THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO GET MONITORED FOR THE GOVERNOR OPENS IT UP IN OPERA DEALING WITH ELECTIONS, DEALING WITH PROPERTY TAXES AND AND THAT'S GOING TO BE IMPORTANT TO STAND TOP OF. AGAIN, UNLESS ANYBODY ELSE HAS ANYTHING TO WRAP IT UP, GET SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. OBVIOUSLY YOU GOT REPORTS AS WELL. I MAY GET A BUSY SCHEDULE AHEAD OF YOU FOR THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON AND WOULD BE GLAD TO ENTERTAIN THE QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE.

>>OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. CUSTOMÁ COMMISSIONERS. ONE THING I LIKE TO ADD, HOW MUCH WE APPRECIATE YOU TO SERVE ÃÃ COMMISSIONERS ALL DEPARTMENTS Ã ÃÃÃEUROPE FROM THE NEXT REGULAR SESSION. IF YOU'LL REMEMBER, SPENT ABOUT A YEAR PREPARING THIS. THE AUSTIN THIS LAST CHAMBER MEETING COMMISSIONERS MEETING WITH THE DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS SEES THE COUNTY. TOGETHER AGENDA. SO, THAT PROCESS STAND READY TO ASSIST IN WHATEVER POWERPOINT HAS DETAILS MORE DETAILS NOTHING TO REPORT TO YOU.

>>OKAY, THANK YOU JOEL. I APPRECIATE THAT. WHAT ÃÃWHAT I THINK THAT I WANT TO DO AN UPDATE ON THE LINE AND HE DID NOT ESTES WE DID NOTE THE SCHEDULE GONNA BE LIKE. I ACTUALLY HAVE THE BULLET POINTS. I DON'T KNOW IF CAN JOIN US. BUT WHAT I WANT TO SAY WHAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON. IS. READ, I JUST WANT TO TEE UP, AT LEAST SOME OF THE ITEMS THAT WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON. CLOSELY THAT I THINK REALLY COUNTY. SORT OF THE FOCUSES ON STATE AGENCIES AND THEIR IMPORTANCE NUECES COUNTY. EDIUM TWD E AND FUSION CENTERS REPRESENTED THE FEW OF THEM. FUSIONS THIS MORNING. BUT WHAT WE DIDN'T REALLY TALK ABOUT HOW WE GOT ONE OF THOSE NINE. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT TO TEE UP ANY CONVERSATION ABOUT THAT. I KNOW THAT COMMISSIONERS ARE LOOKING FOR AN EXECUTIVE SUMMARY. BUT,

JUST A LITTLE ABOUT THAT. >>I'LL BE ÃTHIS OBVIOUSLY I COMMISSIONERS, THANK YOU JUDGE.

LAST TIME COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO FOR YOU ALL. COVID WAS A LITTLE BIT OF A LITTLE. SO, IF WE WOULD BE ON THE FRONT OF THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS. WE'VE BEEN QUITE ACTIVE AND THAT YOU GUYS ARE THIS MORNING PRETTY GOOD PRESENTATION ABOUT WHAT THE CURRENT STATE THINGS ARE.

AND THE CURRENT OF THE REALLY MAJOR THINGS WERE ABLE TO WORK WITH THE STATE TO MAKE SURE THAT NUECES COUNTY GOT WHAT THEY NEEDED. I THINK THE MOST OF THOSE ARE ALREADY TWO OF THEM ÃÃTHE INFUSION CENTER THAT THEY JUST ALLUDED TO. WHICH WE WORKED VERY HARD WITH.

THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE TO HELP THEM RECOGNIZE THE EXTREME CASES COUNTY.

BVIOUSLY, I THINK THAT HAS BEEN WELL RECEIVED THERE AND POSSIBLY TO KNOW HOW MANY LIVES CAN SAY. TO SAY COULD SAVE MONEY. SO VERY PROUD THAT THE PARTNERSHIP WITH THE STATE ON THAT. OBVIOUSLY STAFFING, AND HE HEARD ABOUT THAT THIS MORNING. THAT WAS A PRETTY BIG ISSUE BUT STATEWIDE. BEGIN TO HELP SEE THAT NEED. HOW CRUCIAL IT WAS GOING TO BE OVER

[03:50:09]

THE NEXT FEW MONTHS. OBVIOUSLY, IT HAD GOOD SUCCESS IN GETTING STAFF AND SUPPORT STATE. AND AT NO COST TO FACILITIES NEAR NUECES COUNTY. 'M VERY PROUD OF THOSE TWO THINGS. OBVIOUSLY NON-COVID STUFF THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON. PUSHING ACROSS SOME MITIGATION PROJECTS AND STUDY WITH THE WATER DEVELOPMENT BOARD. OF COURSE, THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS THE WEEK COVID HAS BEEN, THAT IS REALLY BEEN OUR FOCUS AND TO SPEAK THAT WE KNOCK ON WOOD, TIME AT THIS POINT. FULLY DETERMINED TO SOME BUSINESS APPEARED. THE LEGISLATIVE TEAM OF FUNDS AND THAT OPPORTUNITY AND THAT IS GOING TO BE ON THE TABLE HERE ABOUT TWO WEEKS. MUCH-ANTICIPATED OPPORTUNITY I MIGHT ADD. AND THEN COURSE THE CDBG ARE STILL TRACKING AND FOLLOWING THE DATE BACK IN JUNE DEPARTMENT IN THE PAST STATEWIDE BROADBAND HAS BEEN IN THE CONTOURS OFFICE. ÃÃTHE COUNTY WHEN NECESSARY. ALSO THE ABATEMENT COUNCIL. OBVIOUSLY THAT WE POINTED TO AS I KNOW THAT SOME YOU WOULD LIKE. I CAN THE BOX, HIGHLY ON THE AG'S OFFICE. THE VOICES RECENTLY THAT WHILE WE WILL GET SOME DOLLARS, TO THE CITY AND THE COUNTY, TRULY SMALL DOLLARS COMPARED TO THE EXCITING DOLLARS THAT WILL BE AVAILABLE TO THECOUNTY. , THIS COMMITTEE. RIGHT? THIS TASK FORCE LIKE IT! SO, TO BE PREPARED FOCUS OUR SITES IS JUST A DISCUSSION DOLLARS. THIS IS ONE OF THOSE EXAMPLES ADVOCACY VIGILANT ADVOCACY NOW SET THE STAGE IS GETTING MAYBE OUR FAIR SHARE.

ESTES MESSAGE I DON'T REMEMBER MANY COUNTIES ANYBODY 13. SIDE SO, YOUR COMPUTING SO, THOSE COUNCILS WAS GETTING YOUR FAIR SHARE. IT'S JUST THAT AND TO GET THEIR FAIR SHARE STEVE GOT HER DOGGING IT LIKELY SAY IN SOUTH TEXAS. DAY. SO, I'M EXCITED ABOUT OUR OPPORTUNITIES IN THE OPEN ROAD. IT'S NEW. WE DID HAVE THAT LAST SESSION. IT WAS RIGHT YET. AND RIGHT NOW. I WAS JUST MY COMMENT ON THAT. CONVERSATION. THERE ANY OTHER COMMENTS?

>>YES-MAN. GO AHEAD. >>LET ME START BY SAYING A GREAT LEGISLATIVE TEAM. I REALLY DO. MINE ISSUE CONTINUES TO BE SPENT PAY THEM THAT'S GOING TO BE A POINT OF CONTENTION APPEARED. IT'S NOT MEANT AS REFLECTION IT IS BY ME. I DON'T THINK ANYBODY ELSE. MAY OR MAY NOT AGREE WITH ME. COMPANY TEAM. I JUST LOOK AT THE SESSION COMPLETE DIFFERENTLY THAN I DO THE INTERIM. MAYBE THIS IS WRONG AND THAT'S HOW I DO THE SPECIAL SESSION. THE POINT OF THAT IS I DON'T KNOW WHERE I PHONES. WILSON REVEALS VERY LITTLE ROOM IN A PHONE I DO QUESTIONS AND READING THE GOVERNMENT COMMISSION ÃÃMOST OF THEM TO ME, ARE NOT ONES THAT WE SHOULD HAVE. OBVIOUSLY, THAT ARE ABOUT MONEY. THAT WOULD BE ONE THAT I CERTAIN. TIME AND ENERGY ON THAT PART JUDGES SHOULD, I DO AGREE WITH THAT.

[03:55:06]

THE QUESTION HOWEVER IS LEGISLATION. LEGISLATION IT WILL BILL 74. PASSED BY THIS 87TH LEGISLATION WITH THAT ADDRESS CONCERN IS IN THE GOVERNOR'S VETO STATEMENT. CAN

SOMEBODY TELL ME WHAT THAT IS COMING OUT? >>COMMISSION, I'M HAPPY ENSURE THAT IF YOU REALLY WANT TO REPORT. I LOOK AT MYSELF. HERE WAS A BILL DURING THE REGULAR SESSION THAT PROHIBITED THE TETHERING OF DOGS IN PRIVATE HOMES. THE PAST.

OVERWHELMINGLY IN BOTH HOUSES AND THE GOVERNOR VETOED IT. SOME OF HIS CONCERNS WERE THEY SEEMED PRETTY NOMINAL. I CAN GET YOU THE VETO MESSAGE. FOLKS THAT ARE USED TO REPRESENT THESE FOLKS IN PREVIOUS SESSIONS AND HUMANE LEGISLATION. GOT A LOT OF REALLY FUNDED DONORS I THINK THE REST OF THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE TO GET THAT BACK WITH

HIS CONSIDERATIONS IN MIND. >>THAT IS SOMETHING YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING TO SEE NEXT

SESSION. >>I APPRECIATE THAT. I'M THINKING HERE. THE ONLY ONE THAT I SEE DEFINITIVELY IS YOUR OWN REDISTRICTING HERE. I THINK YOU KNOW, WE HAVE REALLY GOOD STATE REPS SENATOR INTO SANDERS AT THE MOMENT. WOMEN AT THE SECOND ONE FOR LONG, BUT I THINK THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE CARE OF US ÃTHEY'RE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT SO, THE ONE I THINK WE DEFINITELY NEED HELP ON OUR PERFORMANCE. FAIR COMPENSATION STATE OF THIS BEING WORKED ON TO THINK AND BELIEVE. A LESSER TIME. OUR OFFICES. IT SEEMS WORK AS YOU DESCRIBED. THE STENCH I AM ANXIOUS TO REASSESS. I PROMISE YOU THAT I DON'T HAVE A NUMBER.

I REALLY DON'T SAYS. I'M NOT ZERO DOWN TO THE SESSION. CRITICALLY PAYING WILL CERTAINLY GOING TO SESSION TO SHOW THEM THIS TIME TRYING TO GET RID OF ANY LOBBYISTS OR THESE LOBBYISTS TO THE DATE OF A JOB. AS LONG AS THE LAW ÃÃ TAX HUNDRED DOLLARS TO LOBBY THEM. WE CAN'T NOT DO IT. I DON'T LOVE IT. BUT THAT'S THE WAY IT IS.

HAT IS REALITY. SO, MAYBE WE DO CHUNKS MAYBE TAKE A SESSION NEXT SESSION FOR THE COMMITMENT FOR THAT. MAYBE WE WILL REDUCE FOR THE INTERIM. I DON'T KNOW. I WILL SEE EVERYBODY ELSE'S

PERSPECTIVE. >>I WILL CALL ON ANYBODY QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS ÃÃAT THIS TIME, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS SESSION AND COMMENTS AS A RESULT OF COMMENTS THAT

WERE JUST GIVEN? NOBODY? >>THE COMMENTS THAT I WILL HAVE HAVE AGENCY WORK THAT WE HAVE, IT SEEMS LIKE EVERYTHING IS THEY SAY THERE IS A SEASON FOR ALL THINGS RIGHT? IS THE ESTES. THE SEASON THAT WE ARE IN IS NOT ONLY A SEASON THE PANDEMIC, BUT IT'S A SEASON OF OPPORTUNITY BECAUSE THERE IS MORE DISASTER RELIEF AVAILABLE HURRICANE HARVEY TO THE COAST.

BOTH FROM A FEDERAL AND A STATE BASIS THERE IS MORE AVAILABLE FOR MENTAL HEALTH. NOT JUST BECAUSE OPIOIDS, BECAUSE OF LEGISLATION THAT WAS PASSED LAST YEAR. THERE'S MORE OPPORTUNITY FOR TRANSPORTATION DOLLARS. THERE IS MORE OPPORTUNITY FOR GETTING PAID BACK OUR COVID RELIEF DOLLARS. MEANT THERE IS THE OPPORTUNITY YOU GET A CHANCE TO FIND OUT WHAT IS GOING ON YOU ARE NOT THERE YOU HAVE 15 HAPPEN TO US WITH BAIL PERFORM.

I CAN TELL YOU HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR THE GOOD WORK WE PUT FORWARD ÃÃYOU WOULD THINK THAT IT MIGHT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH US INTO YOU WIND UP GETTING AN UNDEFENDED MANDATE OF ABOUT $1 MILLION. THIS MIGHT AFFECT THE ONE BEFORE THAT PEOPLE STAY IN JAIL. SO, IT'S THE TWEAKING OF THE BILLS. NOT NECESSARILY THE ESSENCE OF THE BILLS. TO BOTHER ANYBODY.

DETAILS WITHOUT A TEAM MIGHT LOOK LIKE AN INVESTMENT OF 50,000 FOR COUNTY. DOLLARS.

[04:00:11]

ITHER IN SAVINGS OR PARTICLE CASH. THIS MORNING WE HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING THINK THE PIE CHART GRANTS ALONG WITH IT BRINGS IN. ABOUT 100 MILLION. THE PRESENT. JUST WE HAD ABOUT THREE OR FOUR DISHES GRANTS. THE ADVOCACY THAT GOES BEHIND THOSE GRADES IS CANNOT THE STUFF THAT WE HAVE HERE. IT HAS GOT TO COME FROM A TEAM OF EXPERTS. WHETHER IT'S THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE FOR THE WATER DEVELOPMENT BOARD ANY TEST AS I CAN SAY RIGHT NOW, WE WOULD NOT GRANT ÃÃTHAT'S GOING TO BENEFIT RIGHT HERE, RIGHT GONZALES, HERNANDES'S AREA, HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR OUR ADVOCACY WITH THIS TEAM. OF. WILLIE WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED BECAUSE OF THE NUANCES THAT ARE INVOLVED. YESTERDAY, WE SPOKE WITH THE GENERAL LAND OFFICE ACTUALLY HAD THE KIND OF STUFF I WAS DOING. BECAUSE I WAS SHOCKED WITH THE TIME THAT I SAID CAN YOU GET AN APPOINTMENT, THERE ON THE PHONE WITHIN AN HOUR. SO, I HAD TO REARRANGE MY SCHEDULE BECAUSE THAT'S HOW RESPONSIVE THE GENERAL PLAN OFFICES., A MECHANIC AND MYSELF, THAT IS RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BUILT OVER TIME BECAUSE OF THIS TEAM, WHEN PATRICIA CALLS, THEY ARE VERY RESPONSIVE. THE SAME WOMEN PURPLE RETURNED JOEL'S CALL YESTERDAY WITH I NEED TO GET TO CHAIRMAN YOU KNOW, THAT'S JUST IT WAS PASSED AT THE TIME FOR BACKSTOP. WHETHER OR NOT REITS CAN GET ME ON THE PHONE WITH SUSANNA JONES. AND WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT TIEDEMAN OUR NEEDS FOR RAPID INFUSION CENTER. THESE ARE THE DAY-TO-DAY OPERATIONS THAT I JUST NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THERE'S TREMENDOUS VALUE. I UNDERSTAND THAT IF YOU LOOK AT IT FROM A GLASS HALF EMPTY ÃÃDOESN'T LOOK LIKE YOU ARE ÃÃIT LOOKS LIKE MAYBE YOU ARE DOING A PROTECTIONISM MODE WELL, AFTER PROTECT THE COUNTY FROM SPENDING DOLLARS PER FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, AND I ADDED DAY IN AND DAY OUT, I MEAN, IT'S THE OPPOSITE. WE WOULD HAVE LOST QUITE FRANKLY, WE WOULD NOT OF GOTTEN THE GENERATORS. WHICH WAS VALUED AT OVER $2.2 MILLION. WE CERTAINLY WOULD NOT OF GOTTEN THE WRECK. WHICH OTHER THAN THE VENUE THOUSAND DOLLARS A DAY, WHICH IS TOTALLY REIMBURSABLE, WE WOULD NOT ESTES OUR PEOPLE WOULD'VE DIED IN GREATER PROPORTION. THAT'S THE TRUTH. AND WITHOUT SOME OF THE OTHER OPPORTUNITIES THAT WE HAVE GOTTEN LOST OUT ON THE WATER DEVELOPMENT BOARD. THE TWO JURISDICTIONS FIGHTING AND WE NEEDED TO BE ABOVE RUN EVERY

DAY. >>ON AND ON. THERE IS SO MUCH VALUE HERE THAT RUNS INTO THE TENS OF MILLIONS. I JUST HAVE TO SAY THAT WE ARE A TRANSPARENT COUNTY. TELL PEOPLE WE HIRE. WE TELL THEM HOW MUCH WE HIRE THEM FOR. WE NOTE THAT THEY ARE MEASURING, IF NOT BELOW AVERAGE FOR EVERY OTHER ENTITY. AND I WILL DISPENSE WITH THIS. AND THE PROOF IS IN THE PUDDING. WE HAVE BEEN THE RECIPIENTS OF SAID, TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN GRANTS. NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FEDERAL STUFF. REALLY IMPRESSIVE AND IT'S BECAUSE WE HAVE SUCH A GOOD TEAM. YOU CANNOT DO. YOU CANNOT BRING BACK THE BACON.

MUST YOU KNOW, YOU'VE GOT SOMEBODY OUT THERE DEBATING THE PAYMENT.

JUST REALLY GET THE MEN THIS VALUE TO THE TAXPAYER THINK IT'S REALLY UNNOTICED EXCEPT FOR THIS ONE TIME A YEAR WERE WE GOING ON EVERYBODY. LITTLE BIT TO GIVE US THE BEST RATE POSSIBLE. WE WANT THE BEST RATE POSSIBLE. MAKE NO MISTAKE. THERE WERE NEVER STOPS. IT'S GETTING HIGH STAKES POKER IS ABOUT AS HIGH AS IT GETS. RIGHT NOW YES SIR?

>>MENTIONED TO THINGS THAT NEED TO GO BACK TO. BECAUSE HE SAID I DON'T IT DOESN'T ADD UP TO ME

WHEN YOU SAY DOLLARS. >>YES SIR. BAIL BONDS MONEY. IF THAT MUCH FROM BAIL BONDS

NOT FOLLOWING. >>UNPOLLUTED. THERE IS A FISCAL NOTE ON THE BILLABONG BILL. AND I BELIEVE THAT IT'S THREE POINT ESTES WOULD HAVE TO LOOK IT UP.

>>WHAT IS IT? $3.6 MILLION. THE ENTIRE STATE. >>THE STATE. NO, FOR NUECES COUNTY. NUECES COUNTY. WE WILL HAVE A FISCAL NOTE THE GUESSTIMATE OF 3.6 MILLION WE

WILL SHARE WITH YOU. BEEN A TREMENDOUS ÃÃTHERE IS A Ã¦ >>OFFICERS REQUIRE A CAPACITY REQUIREMENT JAIL WILL SHIP INMATES DO NOT THE FACILITY. THERE'S DEFINITELY SOME FISCAL

[04:05:05]

IMPACT FOR THE FISCAL BONDS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND $3.6 MILLION FOR THE FISCAL NOTE. WHAT THE

LOBBY TEAM DONE MISSION HAPPEN? I'M NOT FOLLOWING. >>I'M SORRY.

>>WE CAN. >>IS GOING TO HAPPEN? >>WHAT WAS THE 3.6 MILLION

COST? >>ONLY GET HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR AND BAIL BONDS.

>>TO DISCONNECT. IT'S A DISCONNECT. >>WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT MONEY THAT WE ARE GETTING. WERE TALKING ABOUT THE REFORM. THE BILLS THAT ESTES HOW YOU PRESENT THIS TEST MY POINT WAS THAT YOU WERE SAYING SOMETIMES IT LOOKS LIKE THERE'S DISCUSSIONS THE KIND OF DON'T HAVE RELEVANCY TO US. BUT THEN MY POINT IS WHEN YOU GET TO THE NITTY-GRITTY OF IT, THEY WIND UP IMPACTING US GREATLY. SAY THAT FOR ME, PARTICULAR BILL WAS VERY ACTIVE FOLKS TO UNDERSTAND FOR EXAMPLE, MISDEMEANORS PRINT. AS AN ENTIRE CONVERSATION ABOUT WHETHER TO SHOULD BE INCLUDED OR NOT INCLUDED.

'M NOT SURE WHICH ONE OF THE TEAM MEMBERS WANT TO TALK ABOUT THAT. WE WORKED VERY HARD ON MAKING CERTAIN THAT THE FISCAL NOTE ÃÃTHEY WANT FISCAL NOTE ON EVERYTHING.

>>THEY WANT TO CREATE A FISCAL NOTE FOR WHAT IT WOULD BE HERE. AND THAT CAME STRAIGHT FROM ATTACK. HE CAME FROM CUC. ALL THE URBAN COUNTIES CREATED THAT INFORMATION. AND I'M SAYING OUR LOBBY TEAM GET PERMISSION TO THE LEGISLATORS THAT WERE BASICALLY AT THE FOREFRONT OF THIS BILL. BY THE WAY, INCLUDING OUR OWN SENATOR, Ã¦ DID THE BILL GO AWAY?

>>WANT TO ADDRESS THAT? I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THAT THERE LOBBY

TEAM THINK THIS 3.6 MILLION. >>INTERESTING THAT WAS THE NOTE THAT WAS ON IT. IF YOU DON'T HAVE AN ADVOCACY TEAM, SOMEBODY COULD DO A FOR EXAMPLE, POINTED OUT TO THE CENTER ÃTHIS WILL BELIEVE THAT THAT PEOPLE SHOULD STAY IN JAIL. OKAY? BUT, THERE WAS A LEADING CASE TEST TEST WE ARE REALLY DIGRESSING HERE. ONE IS NOT THAT THE STATE IS 3.6 MILLION. IT WAS THAT WE .6 MILLION CAN BE THE EFFECT. AND IF YOU DON'T HAVE SOMEBODY OUT THERE TALKING ABOUT HEY, IS THERE ANYWAY WE CAN GET FUNDING? IF YOU PASS THIS BILL? TO TALK ABOUT THAT PRINT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GET OUR FAIR SHARE OF FUNDING. THE DIFFERENT THEM AND TARA SAID I WON'T HAVE REIMBURSEMENT. I LIKE THAT MY MONEY UP FRONT. YOU KNOW?

RIGHT? YOU'RE SAYING IS BETTER TO HAVE Ã¦ >>IT'S LIKE I WAS NEVER IN A

MONEYMAKER. >>IS A DIFFERENT DENTIST WE WERE ALL TALKING ABOUT TWO DIFFERENT SUBJECT MATTERS. TALK ABOUT A PERSONAL RECOGNIZANCE BONDS. IN THE

BONDS ÃÃWHO WANTS TO TAKE THAT? YOU'LL WANT TO. >>THEY SAID 3.6 MILLION. THE

EFFECT OF THAT BILL WAS 3.6 MILLION TO THE COUNTY. >>THE TENS OF MILLIONS IN GRANTS REFERENCE ÃÃI HAVE NOT SEEN REPORT AND I HAVE TO THINK BEFORE I SAID, MOST OF THE REPORTS I'VE SEEN WITH GRANTS COMING THROUGH MARIA AND HAGGERTY AND I HAVEN'T SEEN THE LOBBY TEAM BRING IN TENS OF MILLIONS OF GRANTS. SCOTT CROSS. I'M SORRY. I'M JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WITH THE LAWS FOR THE BRUNT OF THAT. IT IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT. WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT IT RIGHT. THAT'S WHAT YOU ARE REFERENCING, THEN ÃÃTHAT IS A DIFFERENT DEAL. I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE THIS TENS OF MILLIONS IN GRANTS HAS COME

FROM THE LOBBY TEAM. >>OKAY. >>WOULD'VE THOUGHT THAT THEY WOULD'VE SAID HEY, READ THIS. HERE'S WHAT I DID. GENERATORS, HELP WITH THIS.

>>I SAID THAT OKAY ÃÃRESPECT ÃÃÃÃTHAT'S WHERE IT STARTS. ONLY START TO SEE IS IN ALL OF THE HEADACHES ÃÃSCOTT CROSS 7 AND A HALF LATER I GOT IT. GREAT JOB ON THE GRANT, YOU BET. DEGREE FROM THE GRANT? YOU BET. SEVEN YOUR WAIT TIME, THAT IS NOT HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE. THAT IS WHAT HAPPENED. WHETHER 20 DEVELOPMENT BOARD OR OUTLET BUT ONE MOMENT BOARD WAS TWO POINT MARIA, HELP ME OUT. $0.6 MILLION GRANT, YOU BETTER BELIEVE THIS LOBBY TEAM IS INVOLVED. THERE INVOLVED IN A HUGE WAY. THIS IS WERE RIGHT, SEEN AS A TEAM. I'M GENERATORS. THIS IS ANOTHER $2.3 MILLION LETTERS. THE PROBLEM IS IT IS HARD TO SEE THAT WHICH IS ONGOING EVERYDAY. SO TALK ABOUT BOB HALL. STRUCTURE ÃÃTHERE IS VALUE

[04:10:22]

THERE. >>INTERESTING TO YOU, THAT IS AN EXAMPLE. ALL OF THESE ÃÃ ALL THESE GRANTS IS SITUATIONAL OUR TEAM IS TO GET THE GRANT BACK NEXT GOING TO GET THE GRANT NEXT YEAR BECAUSE MAGIC? .4 DIFFERENT SESSION. THAT'S OWN THING. ONE OF THE CLEARING

THAT UP. >>I KNOW. I THINK THE BAIL ISSUES DIFFERENT. THEY HAD TO DO WITH THE BILL THAT HAD AN EFFECT. NEGATIVE AFFECT. GO AHEAD.

>>COMMISSIONER, THIS IS JOEL. SOME THE WORK THAT WE DO AGENCIES, ON SOME OF THE GRANT PROPOSALS COUNTY SUBMITTED SCHOOL OF THE SEAS IS SPEAKING AGENCY. HAVE GOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS STAFF REPORT IS STAFF LISTEN TO SOME STEPS THAT'S A PROBLEM. ÃÃIT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN IS HAVING TO CONSTANTLY Ã⌟ PUSH THE BUTTONS AND NEEDS MIGHT BE OTHER LAWMAKERS ON PAPER SHOULD READ AND ARM 100 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE STAFF TO LAWMAKERS AND GOVERNMENT. WE ARE HAPPY. AS A LISTENER, WE CAN RELIGIOUSLY ABSOLUTELY.

>>IT'S NOT FAIR BECAUSE HUGO'S GET 75 OR 80 YEARS OF THOSE HIMSELF. CANNOT REALLY ÃÃ73.

>>73. >>JUDGE, IF I COULD DISCUSS AND AGREE WITH WHAT SAINT THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LEGISLATION IS THE DOMINATION OF THE ÃÃ COUNTY COUPLED WITH THE FACT THAT THIS TIME TO GET SESSION, HONESTLY. ÃÃSAINT JOHN ELECTION THIS WILL WHERE'S THE MONEY TO COME FROM TO HELP OFFSET SOME OF THOSE THINGS THAT SHE CAN HAVE TO DO? SO, I AGREE IN THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION WE ARE OUT THERE IN THE MIDDLE TRYING TO ENSURE THE BAD THINGS THAT HAPPEN SESSION IS OVER ÃÃ23 WATCHING OR IN TERMS OF WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE PROMULGATING OF AUTHORITY LIKENS THEM TO YOU COUPLED WITH PRINTED, LET ME TELL YOU, YOUR STAFF SOMEBODY LIKE ROSS. WE ARE BLESSED TO HAVE YOUR GROUND. DOES NOT END THERE.

THEY DID A GREAT JOB DURING THE DAMAGE. SOME BILLS HAS TO BE OVER THERE COORDINATING TO BE SURE THAT THE WORK IS PUSHBACK FOR SEVEN YEARS. WE HAD TO ENDURE. AND THAT'S WHAT WE DO DURING WAS LOOKING FOR STAYING ON TOP WHAT'S GOING ON. HOW IT AFFECTS BENEFIT COUNTY. THINK

[04:15:04]

THAT'S ALL I GOT TO SAY. OBVIOUSLY, DUE TO CHANGES YOU MAKE IT MAY VERY WELL BE THAT WE CAN LIVE WITH THAT. BUT, DON'T THINK THAT TERMS. ESPECIALLY YOU ARE ALSO FAR AHEAD OF YOU. I HAVE BEEN PREACHING TO THE CLIENT ON TIME. AS OUR TEAM.

START WORKING ON YOUR LEGISLATIVE AGENDA SCRAMBLING, WAY AHEAD OF TIME. IT IS PUT IN APRIL 2 FROM THEM RUNNING WHEN NOVEMBER 1 OPENS UP. THAT I WILL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. THIS IS BEEN A GREAT DISCUSSION ABOUT EXACTLY WHAT IS THE ONE SCOOP READ THAT WE DO. THAT'S YOUR PREROGATIVE RIGHT NOW, I THINK WERE GOING PRETTY WIDE OPEN.

>>I WAS WITH.26. MISSION BAIL ISSUE, I JUST CANNOT SEND SIX IS HE HAS ALREADY IS.

>>EXCUSE ME, THE GOVERNMENT 15. SOME PRESENCE THERE IS ONE PERCENT, AND THE COUNTY. WE ARE A LEADER AMONG WHERE COUNTY THAT DOES NOT HAVE A LIST OF TEAM BECAUSE HIS URBAN. ALL THE ISSUES THAT WE FACE. AGAIN, THE SENATE BILL SIX, BE CLEAR. COST IS THE ESTIMATED COST SENATE BILL SIX ÃÃ DISLIKE OUT THERE. HAVE COST. ONE CAN DEFRAY SOME OF THOSE COSTS. HAPPENING OFFSET IS IT WILL ADD TO OUR BUDGET CHALLENGES IS WHY MENTION 3.6 MILLION IS VERY IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND BILLS GOOD LAWS. DO GOOD THINGS. STILL COST MONEY.

MANDATES. SESSION IS THAT SHEILA SIDES REALLY ÃI KNOW THERE IS WE ALSO STEWARDSHIP THAT WE HAVE SPEECHES. WE WILL MAKE THEM RIGHT. STEP ONE. PASSING THE BILL SIGNED INTO LAW. AS WE ARE PROCESS REALLY STARTS. FOR MANY REASONS TEAM TOGETHER. YOU NEED TO GET TO WORK. OUT THERE AFTER THE DOLLARS THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO US ÃÃFOR THE MONEY THAT WE'RE SPENDING AND WHAT WE CAN BRING IN, I CAN TELL YOU THAT AN HOUR CHANCE OF SUCCESS BEING EXPONENTIALLY GREATER TEAM OUR NEEDS, CONCERNS THAT ECHOES COAST TO COUNTRY. SO, AND FIFTH, DO SOMETHING ABOUT YOU TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT DRAINAGES TO GET IT ONCE IS A STATE TEST TEST FOR INFRASTRUCTURE STUDIES. NOW, SAME PROJECTS? IT STARTS NOW. WITH FROM PARENTS. BETTER, RELIEVING THE CHARGER PARENT AREAS TO CLAIM RIGHTS TO PREFER THE STATE OF TEXAS. NOW PAY LATER DISASTERS WITH THEM SO WELL. HOPE THAT THIS COURT MAKES THE RIGHT DECISION. IT IS IN THE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS THAT THEY BROUGHT IN.

>>WITH NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT. OR EVEN, IF HE JUST TOOK GRANTS, WHO SEEMS TO GRANTS. WONDERS GENERATOR REPORT IS TOO CLOSE TO ME FOR THOSE TWO ÃÃHIMSELF ÃÃGOSH, ANYTIME FOREVER GUYS?? SO MANY TIMES OVER. TIMES OVER. IT'S JUST ÃÃYOU'VE GOT TO BE ABLE TO COMPETE AGAINST WAS PUT TOGETHER A FOOTBALL TEAM AND ÃÃ [INDISCERNIBLE]

>>IT'S NOT A FULL-TIME JOB ÃÃ IT'S THAT THEY ARE FULL-TIME. THEY WORK AT A COUPLE PEOPLE

[04:20:04]

DOING THE RAMP TO HIRE PEOPLE FULL-TIME. AS KENNEDY. >>THEY WOULD HAVE TO LIVE IN

AUSTIN JACK. CAN LOWER THE CONSISTENCY. >>PEOPLE THAT EITHER SERVED IN THE LEGISLATURE MADE NATIONAL CAREER. IN THE LEGISLATURE AND STATE AGENCIES. THAT IS WHAT JOEL SAYS I'VE HUNDRED YEARS OF EXPERIENCE, HE IS NOT MINE, THE PATRICIA SHIPTON HAS BEEN IN THE SPEAKER'S OFFICE, JOEL HAS BEEN OFFICES. OFFICE. THERE IS A REASON PEOPLE DO THIS AND IT'S DONE THIS WAY EVERY NOT LIKE WE'RE BOTH. IN FACT, WHERE THE.

>>IN OTHER COUNTIES, I MEAN PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW IS MEAN, WHETHER OR NOT YOU'RE TRANSPARENT. ONCE YOU ANSWER YES, DONE THAT. THE STATE IS ONE OF US TO DO I DON'T BELIEVE FOR A SECOND GET A BETTER TEAM AND YOU, IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO GO GET OUR FAIR SHARE SERVICES CONTRACTS ACTUALLY HAVE THEM AND I BELIEVE WE HAVE BLANKS. ENOUGH OF THEM. SO NUECES COUNTY IS THAT YOU, THE VISIT WITH HIS NAKED COMPANY COST-CONSCIOUS WAS THERE. THE LAST TWO SESSIONS. I CAN PRESENT IT WOULD. I THINK AT SOME POINT, WONDERING WE THINK WE ARE HELPING HERE BY NOT HAVING THIS DISCUSSION. FIGHT FOR YOUR FAIR SHARE MONIES.

IT'S A MYTH THAT PROPERLY. PEOPLE WHO SPECIALIZE IN IT. I CAN PROMISE YOU THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE SHY ABOUT SAYING IT. I WORK FROM HOME. I DEMAND EXCELLENCE. DAY SOMETIMES.

>>AND WE GET OUR MONEY TO MAKE SURE WE GET OUR MONEY THINGS WHEN YOU GOT MILLIONS OF DOLLARS ON THE LINE. GOSH, SHORTCHANGE THIS COUNTY TAX BARRIERS.

HAT'S COULD GET. WE BEEN ABLE TO DELIVER THESE LAST TWO YEARS. LET'S KEEP IT UP JOHN, I'M SORRY. SOMEBODY SPOUSES CAN ASK JUDGE, ÃÃI'M CONCERNED NEGOTIATING PRESENTING THE TEXT NUMBER. TO OUR TEAM THAT WE HAVE NOW HAVE A DISCUSSION ABOUT THE LEGALITIES THAT SOMETHING THAT THEY CAN LIVE WITH SOMETHING THAT THEY CAN'T THAT SOMETHING

THAT WE CAN SHOOT PUBLIC? >>PRESIDENT ÃIS THAT WE'VE DONE BEFORE THAT WAY ÃÃ DEVELOP MAYBE WE PUT THESE ON TALKING TO EXECUTIVES. I AGREE.

>>I'M EXACT ÃÃI'M PRETTY TALKING EXECUTIVE SESSION. >>CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS ARE THAT FIVE UNANIMOUS FIVE VOTES. TO BE DONE EXECUTIVE SESSION STILL BE LEGAL QUESTIONS

[04:25:05]

SEALED. >>THAT IS FINE. >>SO, I THINK THAT WILL AND WE'RE ABOUT TO GET THERE, RIGHT? BUT, WHAT HE PROPOSES TO KEEP SAME. THIS IS THE SAME EXACT BUDGET THAT WE HAD BEFORE. DECISION THE DEPARTMENT NUMBER MASTER. WE HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO THAT ASSESSMENT HAVE THESE POSITIONS AFTER BUDGET. RATE SET. THE SAME AND LEAVE IT ALONE I'M HAPPY ABOUT THAT ONE. BUT I CANNOT SEEM NOT BEING IN

SESSION. I CANNOT DO THAT. >>THE MOTION FOR SOMETHING LOWER?

>>I DON'T. DON'T. I DON'T KNOW. I REALLY DON'T KNOW. I'M NOT

PLAYING GAMES. >>WHAT IS YOUR COULD MAKE A SUGGESTION TO GO THOUSAND DOLLARS LAST MONTH AND THAT WOULD HAVE BIG IMPACT. AGAIN, Ã¦

>>THIS THIRD SESSION. RECOMMENDATION STILL THERE. AS ONE OF THE THINGS YOU HIRE SOMEBODY, HIRE SOMEBODY. GO BACK. WE'RE EITHER GOING TO USE

THEM. >>.I APPRECIATE HIS PRESENT WANTED TO SAY DOLLARS.

>>TO GET TEAM. >>PROBLEM IS VALUED AS WELL. RIGHT, YOU CAN SAY YOU ARE NOT

ACCEPTED. TALKED TO HIM ABOUT THAT. >>WHAT I'M SAYING THE TO DO IS LISTEN. I DON'T THINK THAT Ã JUST BECAUSE WE'VE HAD THESE DISCUSSIONS STANDS IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE SESSION AND WHAT WAS PROPOSED WAS NOT, BUT A BIT ABOVE WAS ABOUT 60 PERCENT. IT WAS THE 500 THE NEW YEAR. A LITTLE DISCOUNT IN THE END OF THE YEARS. WHICH WOULD'VE BEEN 4000 IS ÃÃ CALCULATION BY 1C, $9000 TIMES. PROPOSAL TO THE PROPOSAL THAT I

KNOW. >>THAT WE TALKED ABOUT YOU ON THAT.

>>JACK SAID THAT HE WOULD LIKE TO PUT HIM IN HALF. JANUARY TO SEPTEMBER. THAT IS NINE

MONTHS. THE 19TH. >>THINGS THAT THAN 4000 I SIT DOWN TO ÃÃJACKSON SESSION I SAID MAYBE A LEVEL OF $1000 NOW SESSIONS WILL BE DECEMBER. ÃÃ THAT'S THE WAY GOES, IN OTHER

[04:30:04]

WORDS, OKAY, I GET SCIENCE CANNOT DO EXACTLY WHAT WE EXPECT OUR WIVES AND WHAT WE

EXPECT FROM YOU. >>AND. >>I REALIZE THAT I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU WANT. I'M HAPPY TO LISTEN. WHAT IS IT THAT YOU WOULD LIKE. I THINK THEY'RE

GOING TO WORK VERY HARD DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS THAT YOU WANT. >>DIDN'T SAY THEY WERE STILL THINK THERE'S AS MUCH TO DO IS AN AMERICAN THING. I WANT BE CLEAR. I DON'T DOUBT THAT THEY

WERE PART. I RESPONDED AND I'M HAPPY WITH THE TEAM. >>WOULD SURPRISE YOU.>.

>>I I HEAR YOU. WOULD SURPRISE YOU TO HEAR THAT THEIR LEGISLATORS. WE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TO AND INCLUDING CHAIRMAN HUNTER, THIS IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING TO BE APPEAR MAJOR ISSUES TODAY. I DID TALK TO A REPRESENTATIVE HUNTER OR BARREIRO ABOUT THAT.

I'VE SEEN MONTHS. I SPOKE FULL-TIME TIME IN MONTHS. >>WE TAKE OUR WORD THAT THAT IS

WHAT HE SAID. I'M THE REASON TO NOT TELL THE TRUTH ON THAT. >>QUESTION IS I'M SAYING TO YOU THAT I FEEL LIKE THEY KNOW. >RIGHT. THIS IS JUST OF COURSE THEY WANT PEOPLE. WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT ELIMINATING BUT I THINK TODD LOIS WOULD SAY YOU OUGHT TO PAY HIM. AS MANY

HOURS. >>THEN GET INVOLVED WITH THAT. >>DIDN'T GET INVOLVED. IN THIS AGREEMENT WE NEED TO HAVE A LOBBYIST. I AM SAYING I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE RIGHT AMOUNT IS.

NEXT IS CLARIFYING. THEY CAN ONLY USE METRICS COUNTIES. TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO PAY PEOPLE AND CERTAINLY WE ARE NOT GOOD AT THAT. PROVEN THAT BEAUTIFULLY THAT WE PAID NOBODY WHAT THEIR WORK. SO, I CAN SEE WHY WE CONTINUE THIS PHILOSOPHY. YOU ACTUALLY GO OUT THERE TO SEE WHAT THE COUNTIES ARE PAYING PAYING ÃÃ HOW CAN YOU ASK THEM TO DO WHAT NO OTHER COUNTY RECOGNIZES. NOT LIKELY THROW IT OUT THERE. YOU HAVE? IT IS REASONABLE

HERE? >>IF YOU LIKE THIS TO BE SOME REASONABLENESS. WHY WOULD YOU WANT THEM THAT'S JUST THE ONE TO PICK AND CHOOSE WHAT THEY WANT TO DO?

>>IN THE PROPOSAL IS PROPOSAL. IT WAS HIS. I'M JUST LISTENING. THAT'S TRUE.

AGAIN, I WOULD LIKE TO AT LEAST ATTEMPT TO GET TO A PLACE THAT STICKS TO THE BUDGET THAT WE

HAVE LAST YEAR. AS A THEM. >>YOU GIVE US AN OPPORTUNITY TO SAVE THE WORK WELL FOR US. AND WHEN THIS MILLION DOLLAR GENERATORS, YOU REALLY WANT TO SAY GOSH, MY 20TH HOUR, I

REALLY HATED THIS WEEK. >>WHEN IS THIS NEXT SESSION STARTED SEPTEMBER 20.

>>ÃI'M NOT READY ÃÃI'M NOT SAYING SOMEBODY ÃÃTHEY LOBBY FOR ANYBODY ELSE? MAKE MONEY

FOR ANYBODY ELSE? >>ARE SIMILARLY SPENT? ANY WORK FOR US.

>>MUCH TIME TO THE SPENT? I WOULD LET THEM ANSWER YOUR QUESTION. I CAN JUST TELL YOU THAT I CALL THEM DAILY BECAUSE DAILY NEEDS. BUT, I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ASK PATRICIA WEBER WANTS TO ENTER THE STOLEN JOE, TO TALK ABOUT ÃÃCOME INTO THE QUESTION.

>>I THINK IT'S FAIR TO SAY, WE HAVE SPENT AT LEAST 5 TO 6 HOURS A DAY, IF NOT MORE RIGHT NOW. JUST DURING THE SPECIAL SESSION ON OASIS COUNTY ISSUES. MAYBE IT MIGHT BE MORE. I KNOW SOME OF US SAT IN A FEW HEARINGS AND IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS. THE LAST FIVE HOURS ALONE. ON BEHALF OF VOICES, AND OTHER VISITS. ÃÃ FULL-TIME JOB WHICH TEND TO BE A LITTLE MORE NIMBLE IN OUR WORK IN TERMS OF WORK. JUST AN 8 TO 5 JOB. IT'S A 24 HOURS SEVEN DAYS A WEEK JOB. LEGISLATURE SPECIAL SESSION TO MEETING A LOT ON WEEKENDS AS WELL. WE'RE SPENDING A LOT OF TIME THE BUILDING. WE ARE MODERATING COMMITTEE HEARINGS ON WEEKENDS. PROVIDING SERVICES SO, TODAY, BUT THAT'S IS THAT'S IN ADDITION TO SCHEDULED CALLS WITH KATHY STAFF COMMISSIONER COMMISSIONERS COURT IS TODAY, MOST OF US ON THE LINES SINCE 9 AM. KEEPING IN MIND THE COMMISSIONERS COURT. SO, HOW

MANY EVER HOURS, WITH TOM DAVIS. WE'VE ALL BEEN Ã¦ >>DON'T PUT THAT ON YOUR LIST.

[04:35:07]

YOU WILL BE SENT HERE FOR NINE HOURS. COULD'VE GOTTEN IT WHEN YOU NEEDED IT.

>>THE POINT IS THAT ÃHE DIDN'T EVEN DO THAT. >>HE DOES, BECAUSE THE COMMISSIONERS COURT IS VALID AND VITAL. THEN DOING THE WORK. MIGHT NEED TO DEFINED PAGE WHEN YOUR HOURS. SOMEBODY'S GOING TO SPEND YOUR HOURS WATCHING THIS

COMMISSIONERS COURT IS NOT ME. >>THEY BEEN ON POINT. >>BEEN ON THEIR EIGHT HOURS PREDICTION BASED ON NEED TO ASSESS AND MEASURE THAT'S A GOOD UTILIZATION OF HER TIME.

PUTTING LETTER OF OPPOSITION., WHITE, SPENDING HOURS, BECAUSE MIGHT BE THINKING THE SPENT MORE HOURS IN THIS COURT WANT TO SPEND. MAYBE THAT IS SOMETHING WE NEED TO LOOK AT Ã

ÃEXCUSE ME TO BE FAIR. >>YOU CANNOT WIN HERE. WHICH YOU CAN WIN HERE. NOT A

MILLION YEARS WHEN I LOBBIED WHAT I SAID MUCH. >>I WOULD NOT WANT YOU TO BE MY

LOBBYIST. >>JUDGE, I GET IT. IN A GONNA GET MAD AND CIRCUITING PERSONAL AGAIN. YOU CAN DO THAT. I'M JUST SAYING NOT A MILLION YEARS WHEN I ASKED HIM TO SIT COMMISSIONERS COURT ASK JUST SO YOU KNOW. WERE TAKING OUT OF CONTEXT.

>>,TAKING OUT OF CONTEXT? >>TALK ABOUT THE CONCEPT THAT THEY ARE GIVING TO THIS COUNTY.

HIS QUESTION IS HOW ARE THEY DISSIPATING HERE? WHAT ARE THEY UP TO? TELL ME HOW YOU ARE ALL WORKING FORCE? ARE YOU ALL GETTING OUR MESSAGE? IN THIS HEARINGS. THIS HEARINGS THAT US .5 HOURS MEAN, THEY ARE VERY CRITICAL. THE MONITORING THEM. WHETHER THEY ARE MONITORING THEM SOMETHING THAT THEY HAVE ON THE MONITOR BETTER BELIEVE THAT THE BETTER MONITOR THEM THINK IS GOING TO PUT A CARD IN AND THE JUDGE, WHAT I'M SAYING, YOU AND I MIGHT HAVE THE LOBBY. THIS COURT ÃÃ DAVID DIFFERENT OPINION ON HOW TO LOBBY AND WE SHOULD LOOK AT HOW TIME IS SPENT THEIR TIME AS A COURT, BECAUSE WE AS A COURT DIRECTING. SOMETHING.

>>OKAY. THAT'S NOT OUT OF CONTEXT. JUST SAYING WHAT HE WAS SAYING. THOSE THINGS STICK OUT AT ME BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW THAT I WOULD'VE SAID GO SPENT FIVE HOURS SITTING IN A HEARING. WILL BE THERE MAKE AN APPEARANCE AND WE HAVE TO DO. GO ONLINE SOON, MAKE YOUR CONTACTS AND TELL HIM NUECES COUNTY TAKES THIS. I DON'T KNOW. SO, MAYBE IF I SENT TALKED WITH HIM AND SAID WELL, THERE'S ONE WAY WE CAN DO IT WHEN WE WOULD, I THINK WE NEED BEFORE WE DO THIS, MAYBE WE NEED TO SIT DOWN AT THIS AND SAY HEY, TELL US WHY YOU ARE SPENDING ALL THESE HOURS, THAT'S ONE HAVING A HARD TIME WITH. I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE NUMBER OF HOURS ARE SAYING THEY ARE SPENDING BECAUSE MS. COURT DIRECTING THEM TO DO THIS.

BETTER DIRECTION OF THE COURT IS A BODY. JUST SO THEY CAN SAY OKAY, YOU ARE RIGHT.

>>I THINK THAT THEY HAVE BEEN AND HAVE COMPLIED WITH THAT WANTED THEM TO LIVE WITH.

THERE'S MORE DIRECTION AS I'M SURE THEY WILL BE HAPPY TO RECEIVE DIRECTION.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT IT IS THAT YOU WANT. >>I'LL BE HONEST WITH YOU. I DON'T SEE ANYTHING THAT IS NOT MANUAL FOOTPRINT THAT YOU CAN FOLLOW EXACTLY. IT'S NOT IMPORTANT. FORMAL LAST 10 HOURS WAS FROM LAST 30 MINUTES. DEPENDING ON THE PUBLIC COMMENTS. YOU CAN LEARN A LOT BY PEOPLE THE PUBLIC COMMENT PERIODS. THERE ARE SO MANY FACTORS. BUT YOU KNOW, WE'RE DIGRESSING. AS SEEMS LIKE THERE IS A WILL TO HAVE A TEAM QUESTION IS A THAT CAN MAKE A MOTION AGAIN, IS WHAT JENNY TOLD ME ABOUT NOT BEING MAKE SENSE, THAT'S THE WAY SOMETIMES THINGS WORK. AND THAT'S SS I DON'T KNOW IF I UNDERSTAND IT.

WE WILL LOOK AT IT WE WILL TEST THIS I WOULD PROPOSE THAT IF YOU WANT TO BACK YOU CANNOT GO, SESSION GO MUCH LOWER IN THE INTERIM YOU COULD CUT BACK SOME OF THE COLUMN I GUESS. BOGGLES THE MIND BECAUSE I DON'T UNDERSTAND. WE'RE NOT BEHAVING LIKE AN COUNTY GOES OUT THERE MAKES AN INVESTMENT. TELLS THAT TEAM TO BRING HOME SUCCESS GO OVER THERE REPRESENT US DON'T ANYTHING BAD HAPPEN TO US IF AT ALL POSSIBLE. KEN SHEPPARD, OUR MAJOR PROJECTS AND GRANTS. AND THEY DON'T MICROMANAGE. YOU DON'T TEST THIS AND UNDERSTAND THE

[04:40:07]

MICROMANAGING, BUT IT'S WHATEVER ÃÃCINDY ÃÃI DON'T HARDLY TALK TO HIM JUDGE UNLESS THEY TELL ME. I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU THINK ANYBODY'S MICROMANAGING. MAYBE YOUR

MICROMANAGING. >>WE ARE TALKING TO A CONTRACTING AMOUNT.

>>ABSOLUTELY. I THINK WE HAVE TO SET AN EXPECTATION TO BE FAIR TO THEM. SAY Ã¦

>>STILL PENDING. >JUST GO TO THE PAY. WHAT IS IT THAT YOU WANT TO PAY? I DON'T THINK YOU HAVE AN IDEA JUST YET. I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO PAY THEM $4000 TO THE END OF THIS YEAR. CUT THEM BACK TO $3500 IN THE INTERIM. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A SECOND ON THAT.

THAT WOULD CREATE A LOT OF SAVINGS AND FRANKLY I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY'RE GOING TO KEEP UP WITH EVERYTHING. YOU CAN DO AS YOU SAID THE VALUE TO THEIR WORK. THE IDEA THAT YOU PAY HIM ONE THING A MONTH AND ANOTHER THING ANOTHER MONTH Ã JUST WHEN YOU'VE NEVER HAD TO

DO IT THAT WAY. KIND OF STRANGE. BUT Ã¦ >>JUDGE, WAIT A MINUTE. NEVER WENT THAT WAY. BEFORE YOU WERE HERE, HE PAID LOBBY AND WE HAD ONE LOBBYIST PAID A CERTAIN AMOUNT. FOR THE WHOLE YEAR. NO, NO. SO, STATE NEVER DID LIKE THAT Ã¦

THAT'S WHY BE BECAUSE OF THE NEED. THE DECISIONS THE TEAM INCREASE. I STAND BY THE DECISION I MADE. THIS TEAM THINK OUT OF SENSE OF COMPROMISE. WE DID NOT AGREE ON EVERYTHING. AND SOMEBODY DIDN'T MAKE AS HIGHER OTHER.

I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT READ BECAUSE HE IS NOT IN ON THAT DEAL BEGINNING. WE PUT THIS TOGETHER AS A COMPROMISE AND I VOTED FOR THAT. I AGREE. WE ARE IN A DIFFERENT POSITION NOW AND IN RESPECT TO SESSION VERSUS NON-SESSION. THEY MIGHT Ã¦

>>I THINK IT COMES DOWN TO ÃÃ WHAT VALUE WE FEEL THEY BRING? >>THIS IS THE SECOND SESSION

SPECIAL SESSION AS WELL. HAD HIRED IN 2017. >>THAT WAS ALREADY INTO THE TERM RIGHTS PRIOR TO THE TERM. THIS GROUP DIDN'T HAVE A CHANCE TO WRITE IN BEST WITH 19.

DID GET A CHANCE TO GO COUPLE TIMES I HAD A CHANCE TO GO UP THERE AND SPEAK. JOE GUIDING ME UP THERE. SIT IN A FIVE HOUR COMMITTEE MEETING. THE PEOPLE BEHIND US DID.

BUT, IF ANYBODY HAS BEEN UP THERE Ã JUST YOU KNOW THAT THEIR MEETINGS GET STUCK YOU DON'T KNOW YOUR NAME TO BE CALLED UP LOOKING FOR WILL GET I GET. SPECIAL SESSION, IS NOT AS HEAVY AS CLIENT. THIS IS A GUARANTEE COMPARED TO THE SPECIAL SESSION ANOTHER, OTHER SPECIAL SESSIONS IN THE PAST, IT IS SET SPECIAL SESSION. IS NOT ONE PARTICULAR ISSUE.

REALLY LASER FOCUSED BATHROOM ACTIVELY ÃÃCOMMUNITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO BE ABLE TO CONNECT RNASE AND 'S RESIDENTS? ANY MILITARY INSTALLATIONS ARE COALITION EXTENDED ABOUT 3 AND A HALF YEARS AGO THINK NOTHING OUR MEMBERSHIP IS CONCENTRATED AT THAT POINT INFIGHTING AND EVERYTHING IN SOUTH CAROLINA. BUT FENTANYL GRAND AM ARE COALITION MARY SEPTEMBER DELIVERED 260 MEMBERS FROM 21 STATES AND INCLUDES THE STATE OF TEXAS. HOWEVER MEMBERSHIP CONSISTS OF ELECTED OFFICIALS AT THE LOCAL CANDY AND STATE LEVELS. WE ALSO HAD CITIES AND COUNTIES THAT ARE MEMBERS OF THE COALITION ALONG WITH BUSINESSES AND CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE, CIVIC GROUPS? ADAMIC INSTITUTION AND MILITARY LEADERS. WE ALSO MAKE 22 MEMBERS OF CONGRESS FROM PENN STATE THIS PROUD CHAMPIONS. AND SO EVERY POLICY AND GIVES ME A LOT OF ARABIC ISRAELI GUIDED BY THE FOUR KEY THINGS: EQUIPMENT INFINITELY MAKING SURE THAT OUR MILITARY INSTALLATIONS ARE READY TO BE DEPLOYED 365 DAYS A YEAR. WE ALSO LOOK AT DIFFERENT INVESTMENT IN INFRASTRUCTURE THAT CAN HELP US LOOK LIKE PENNIES AND PROTECT PROPERTY VALUES. WE ALSO LOOK AT WAYS THAT COMMUNITIES CAN PROACTIVELY PLAN TO PROTECT THE RESIDENTS AND HELP SAVE TAXPAYERS' DOLLARS. WE ALSO LOOK AT WAYS WE CAN DO STRONGER TO PROTECT THEIR COMMUNITIES AND FUTURE FLOOD EVENTS.

LISTENING TO THE MEMBERSHIP OF THE AMERICAN. >>PHILANTHROPIC DONORS THAT

ALLOWS US BE IN CHARGE OF ANY MEMBERSHIP FEES. >>SO, WHAT IS ENTAILED? WHAT COMES WITH BEING A MEMBER OF THE COALITION? WE DO BUILD DIFFERENT EDUCATIONAL GUIDES AND RESOURCES THAT HELP TO MEET OUR MEMBERS NEEDS AND HOPE TO UNDERSTAND SOME OF THE MORE COMPLICATED MOMENTS OF FLOW RELATED ISSUES. ONE TOOL THAT I WILL MENTION IS OUR FLOOD FUNDING FINDER. THIS IS AN INTERACTIVE TOOL THAT HELPS OUR MEMBERS AND COMMUNITY LEADERS AT ALBRIGHT SYSTEM AND IDENTIFY BASED ON A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT.. ÃÃBUT OFFERING APARTMENTS AND TALKING POINTS TO HELP ELEVATE THE IMPORTANCE OF FLOOD ISSUES AND TAKING ACTION. ALSO BRING TOGETHER A NETWORK OF LEADERS FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY DIFFERENT BACK ARMS AND EXPERTISE ON A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT FLOOD ISSUES. AGAIN, OUR COALITION BRINGS TOGETHER 260 ÃÃOVER 260 MEMBERS FROM COMMITMENT STATES ACROSS THE U.S.. WE ALSO TRY TO FACILITATE THE NETWORK SHARE NETWORK BEING ABLE TO SHARE BEST PRACTICES AND SHARE DIFFERENT STRATEGIES.

[05:05:05]

PLANNING OPPORTUNITIES THE OTHER COMMUNITIES HAVE IMPLEMENTED. MIGHT BE HELPFUL FOR OUR OTHER MEMBER OF COMMUNITIES. WE ALSO SUPPORTED SOME LOCAL COMPETITIVE RESILIENCE PILOTS IN THE COMMUNITY IS THAT WE WORK IN. AGAIN, WE PROVIDE A PLATFORM FOR ADVOCACY AND EDUCATION AT THE PLATFORM LEVEL.

NO, WE'RE JUST REELING FROM COMMITMENT AND DELIGHT EVENT. WE DO NOT HAVE COUNTYWIDE DRAINAGE DISTRICT.

SO, WHICH WOULD LIKE. SO, BELINDA, WE NEED TO ASK IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS FOR LIZ ON ANY OF THIS. I THINK THIS WOULD BE VERY BENEFICIAL. COMMISSIONERS ÃÃIS IT JUST A MOTION TO APPROVE THE RESOLUTION? IS THAT ALL THAT'S NEEDED?

IN THE BUILDER GET BACK WITH THE BCC BEACHFRONT DESTRUCTION CERTIFICATION OF THE CITY HAD ON THEIR SIDE. GET IT ALL TOO MUCH. GOING THROUGH THIS PROCESS. WE WERE AWARE WHICH OF HIS OFFICE. JIMMY DORSEY'S OFFICE A WHILE BACK WHEN WE DID GET NOTIFICATION AT THE ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNER REALLY WAS NOT HAPPY WITH THE WHERE THE DOO-WOP WAS GONNA GO OVER ON THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT. SO, WE PROVIDED SOME INFORMATION TO JENNY FOR JOHNNY. KIND OF UNAWARE WENT FROM THERE. THIS WAS ALL ON HOLD UNTIL WE CAN GET THIS CLEANED UP. SO, THE ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNERS HAVE ASKED FOR THE APPLICANT IS CRAIG THOMPSON HANSEN ENGINEERING. TO PLEASE CONSIDER MOVING THE BOARDWALK TO LOCK OVER THE AMENDMENT HERE. AND THE RECENT AGREEMENT TODAY, THEY'RE WILLING TO PULL IT OUT TODAY. STILL APPROVING THE MINUTES IS THAT THE OWNER CAN STILL CONTINUE BUILDING HIS HOUSE. HE'S ON HOLD RIGHT NOW AND GET THIS CLEANED UP. THE ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNER AND THEIR LEGAL REPRESENTATION DO NOT WANT TO DO ANYTHING TO JEOPARDIZE THE BUILDING OF THE HOUSE. NOT A PROBLEM WITH

THAT. HIS MISSION TO DO MARKET. >>THE CLIENT APPLICANT THAT APPLIED FOR THIS MOVEMENT HAS AGREED TO LOOK AT RELOCATING PART OF THE THIS PROPERTY FOR THE END OF THE BENEFITS OF PARENT THE ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNER NOT HAPPY WITH PRETTY NICE LAP THAT THE BCC SS NUMBER WE HAD TO DO, SO THAT THE BCC.

THE CONTINUUM APPROVED WITHOUT PROPER NOTICE AND LINDA. BUT TO ACTUALLY REMOVE FROM THE EXISTING PERMIT AND THEY DO NOT COVER. WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY ADMINISTERS COURT WAS INTERESTED IN GOING TO APPROVE THE EXEMPTION AND SETBACK. I THINK ARE TWO AMENDMENTS TO THE EXISTING PERMIT. IT'S NOT APPLICATION FOR DOOM WALK OVER. IT'S ALREADY BEEN PERMITTED.

THAT WOULD BE A CONTRACT FOR FOUR YEARS. HOWEVER, BE NOTED THAT THE 500,000 IS KIND OF JUST INITIAL MONEY. THE MORE MONEY AVAILABLE DURING THIS FOR YEARS AND WE'VE ALREADY MET OUR DELIVERABLES, AND WE'RE THAT CONTRACT CAN BE AMENDED TO INCLUDE ADDITIONAL ONES. KIND OF A BREAKDOWN OF 500,000 IS TO ADMIT, WE HAVE TO SPEND A MINIMUM OF 75 PERCENT. WHICH ENDS UP BEING ABOUT $375,000. SPECIFICALLY FOR REHAB. AND NEW CONSTRUCTION HOMES. AND MAXIMUM 10 PERCENT. CAN BE USED FOR PUBLIC SERVICE. SO, PUBLIC SERVICE WOULD BE REQUIRED TO HAVE AN ENDING LIBRARY. EXACTLY HOW IT SOUNDS. ASSORTMENT OF TOOLS DEPENDING ON WHAT WE SEE THE COMMUNITY NEEDS. WHETHER HAMMERS, SOULS, MAYBE SOME MORE SOPHISTICATED BUT NOT TO BE ABLE TO ADAPT. AND WE WOULD

[05:25:02]

ALSO BE HAVING TECHNOLOGY ACCESS, WHICH MY TERMINOLOGY WOULD BE KIND OF LIKE A COMPUTER LAB. JUST THE COMPUTERS AVAILABLE FROM THESE COLONIALS TO HAVE ACCESS. AS WELL AS CLASSES. THE CLASSES CAN WRITE ABILITIES THAT PROPERTY OWNERS., SPECIFICALLY FOCUSED ON HOMEOWNERSHIP. AND THEN ADMINISTERING THE PROGRAM AS A WHOLE WOULD BE LIMITED TO 15 PERCENT. AFTER WE HAD BEEN AWARDED, AFTER WE SUBMITTED OUR APPLICATION THE MONEY IS TO THE COUNTY WOULD THEN NOMINATE TWO MEMBERS TO THE COLONIAL PRESIDENTIAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE. WHICH BASICALLY NEEDS TO SEE THE NEEDS ARE RECOMMENDATIONS NOT ONLY TO US.

BUT TO THE TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY AFFAIRS AS TO WHAT MIGHT BE NEEDED OUT THERE. I'M GOING KIND QUICKLY. I'M SORRY, I JUST WANTED TO AS FAR AS ADMINISTRATION OF THE PROGRAM THE STATUTE TALKS ABOUT IS THAT IT HAS TO BE SSP CAN BE SUBCONTRACTED, BUT IT HAS TO BE LOCAL NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION THE ACTION AGENCY OR HOUSING HAS DEMONSTRATED THE ABILITY TO CARRY OUT THESE SELF-HELP. AND WILL BE PRINTED BEEN REACHING OUT TO OTHER SELF-HELP CENTERS.

AN EXAMPLE WOULD BE CAMERON COUNTY CAMDEN COUNTY PRETTY MUCH SUMS UP THE WORK AND EMPTY. THAT BE THE PUBLIC SERVICES AS WELL AS HOUSING AND CONSTRUCTION. WHAT COUNTY IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY. KEEP EVERYTHING IN-HOUSE. BUT THEN THEY SAID ABOUT THE ACTUAL CONSTRUCTION AND VISITING WITH THE STATE ÃÃTHEY SAY IT'S REALLY UP TO LOCAL COUNTY TO DECIDE HOW THEY WANT TO TRY TO GET THAT DONE. AS FAR IS A PHYSICAL SITE FOR THE COLONIAL SELF-HELP CENTER, THAT'S NOT A REQUIREMENT THROUGH THE PROGRAM, BUT FOR EXAMPLE, CAMERON HAVE PHYSICAL SITE, BECAUSE THEY DO SO ABOUT ALL OF THE WORK. AND VISITING WITH THE STATE, THEY SAY THAT THEY HAVE PHYSICAL PATIENT FOR THAT WE TALKED ABOUT THIS A LITTLE BIT BEFORE. ABOUT THE IST DOES HAVE A LOCATION THAT THERE IS THAT. I VISITED WITH THE NEW SUPERINTENDENT. SUSAN JOHNSON MENTIONED THAT THEY ARE STILL ONGOING AND ON TRACK TO DO THAT FOR ALSO MAKE SURE THAT WE COULD IDENTIFY: YES. THAT LOCATION SERVICE. SERVICE.

THE FUNDING OF ACTUALLY SETTING UP THE SITE, I DID CONFIRM THAT THE STATE WOULD NOT BE COMING FROM THESE PROGRAM FUNDS. AND SO, JUST USING THE BACK OF THE ENVELOPE KIND OF NUMBERS AS FAR AS BEING ABLE TO GET A PREFABRICATED BUILDING ÃÃ WE'RE LOOKING AT ROUGHLY 150,000. YOU NOT TO HOLD ME TO THOSE NUMBERS. AGAIN, THOSE ARE JUST KIND OF PROBABLY SQUARE FOOTAGE WILL COST. I THINK YOU KNOW, THE COURT WERE TO APPROVE THIS, WHICH WE HAVE TO BRING BACK TO HIS FUNDING MECHANISMS THAT WE CAN ÃÃTHAT THERE IS SOME SPECIAL FUNDS.

BUT DOLLARS SOMETHING THAT WOULD QUALIFY. MARIA INITIALLY HAD TO LOOK TO SEE IF WE COULD FIND IMMIGRANTS THE KIND OF FITNESS. SHE WAS ABLE TO FIGHT AT THIS POINT. SHE DID SUGGEST OUR BOOK. BY VISITING WITH TERESA THAT THERE IS SOME MONEY IN THE BUDGET.

>>JUST KIND OF STRETCHED JUST AS SIMULTANEOUSLY. THE LOCATION OF THIS COLUMN IS. I VISITED WITH SEVERAL TIMES. AS . THE COURT CHOOSES TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE LEASE. THE PROPERTY IST. WE WOULD BE LOOKING AT POTENTIALLY GETTING IT PREFABRICATED FIRST PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT GOES CHALLENGING THE OTHER SELF COLONIAL SELF-HELP CENTERS TO SEE WHAT THE BEST PRACTICES ARE. AS WELL AS MAYBE SOME OUTREACH LOCALLY. WE'VE IDENTIFIED A COUPLE OF THE NONPROFITS FOR THE HOUSING PORTION IS SOME OUTREACH TO THEM SO THAT WE GET READY, WE KNOW THAT THERE ARE SUBMITTERS OUT THERE. AS MICHAEL IS GETTING SOME SIMPLE

[05:30:07]

WE WOULD AGAIN HAVE TO HAVE THE PUBLIC HEARING DEVELOPED THE LOCATION. THE COMMISSIONERS COURT FROM SUBMITTING THE APPLICATION. POSTAL WILL BE NOMINATING SO, IN A NUTSHELL

EXAMPLE IS TALKING ABOUT. >>THE LEGISLATION WASN'T EASY, BUT YOU GET IT TRULY BEGINS.

TREATMENT WITH THE DESIGNATION ÃTHIS IS A COPY THAT'S JUST THE DESIGNATION, W?

>>IT'S ACTUALLY IN AN ACCIDENT AND DESIGNATION. >>

[INDISCERNIBLE] >>BUT THEY HAVE TO DECLARE. DOES THE TRICK.

>>SO, WE DO HAVE THAT. 38 COLONIALS WITH THE AND DESIGNATION. BUT WE NOW HAVE Ã ÃNOT ALL OF THEM HAVE SEWER AND POSSIBLE WATER. SO, THIS KIND OF YOUR NEEDING TO

DESIGNATE OUR ALONENESS. >>MAKE SURE WE GET THE IRT SURVEYS THAT CAN REALLY HELP YOU MAYBE EVEN HAVERTY COMPLETED SOME OF THE LIQUID AND WORK FROM THERE.

>>I BELIEVE MARIA HAS PROVIDED THE INFORMATION TO EDWARD. >OKAY.

>>THINK JUSTICE IS THE ORIGINAL THAT WERE SELECTED ÃÃHIS PATIENT CYCLE THAT WE MENTIONED BEFORE? I BELIEVE WE WOULD HAVE TO DESIGNATE YOUR CONTRACT. THIS WOULD HOPEFULLY CONTRACT DESIGNATE DIFFERENT ALONENESS WE CANNOT GET FIVE THERE, WHICH IS A BIG TALK ABOUT THAT. PUTTING OTHERS GO FURTHER. THIS KIND OF IS NECESSARILY DESIGNATED TO THE AREA, BUT TO ALL POINTS ÃÃ NUECES COUNTY. SO, YOU REALLY NEED TO BE HOWEVER WE WANT TO DESIGNATE FOCUSING ON FOCUSING ON THE AREA BECAUSE THAT FOR THE PHYSICAL SITE THAT WE HAD IDENTIFIED WITH ME. AGAIN, THEY WOULD BE MEASURING US. AS FAR AS PEOPLE COMING FROM OUR DESIGNATED COLONIALS TO USE OUR COMPUTERS FOR CHECKUPS. ATTEND OUR CLASSES. I THINK KIND OF EARLY ON NUMBERS AREN'T AS HIGH. I KNOW THE MEMBERS WILL BE GREAT. I THINK LIKE OUR

MINIMUM WOULD BE EIGHT PEOPLE., AND THESE ACTIVITIES. >>LIKE I SAID BEFORE, MY VISION WITH THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN THAT IS IN AND CONNECTS WITH THE IRT. BECAUSE EXACTLY LOVE THE SERVICES THAT PROVIDED AND MAY BE BEYOND CURRENTLY PROVIDING. THAT'S MY HOPE. IS THAT MAYBE MAYBE BY 2022 BUT PERHAPS BY 2023, THAT WE CAN REALLY HAVE IT UP AND RUNNING AND THEN IT CAN REALLY BE A HUB AND CONNECT WITH A LOT OF COMMUNITY THAT 30 SEEKING OR RECEIVING SERVICES.

AT THAT CENTER. AND THEN JUST BE CONNECTED WITH ALL THE REST. >>ABSOLUTELY.

>>IT DEFINITELY WOULD BE PROGRAMMED TO BUILD. THE STATE KIND OF INDICATED INITIALLY.

THE ALLOCATION WOULD BE FIVE AS WE START. TRANSITIONS TO FIVE HOMES. BUILD WITH THAT MONEY.

TO BEGIN PEOPLE TO ASK FOR 500,000 ALLOCATIONS. IN ADDITION. 500 MONEY IS

AVAILABLE. MILLION FIVE AS WE CONTINUE TO GROW. >>IF THERE'S NO OTHER

QUESTIONS? THANK YOU. THANKS. >>MAYBE THESE FUNDS THAT ARE APPROPRIATED, ARE THIS TO THE AGENCY BLENDED? THE LEGISLATURE AND CONNECT Ã¦

>>THEY ARE SPECIFIC FOR COLONIA HEALTH CENTERS. THEY ARE PROBABLY LIKE A LINE ITEM.

>>MAYBE WE CAN FIGURE OUT. >>IS THERE A LINE ITEM IN THE BUDGET? IS THAT SPECIAL APPROPRIATION? DOES IT COME FROM? WHERE DOES IT COME FROM?

>>IT COME FROM HOUSING AND COMMUNITY AFFAIRS, RIGHT? >>IT'S WITHIN THEIR BUDGET.

>>IT'S JUST AN AGENCY BUDGET. >>OKAY. >>BECOMES ASK FOR MORE. STUFF

ONCE INSIDE THE BUDGET. >>OKAY. SO, THAT TAKES CARE OF ITEMS 22. OKAY.

[05:35:03]

>>I THINK WE HAVE COMPLETED ITEMS 10 22. NOW, I SEE. I JUST WANT TO GO BACK. IS NOT THERE ANYMORE. EXPECT TO DOUBLE CHECK. I HAD NOT MARKED IT OFF. WHEN SCOTT SENT REMEMBER, WE HAVE THE PROPOSAL. SO, WE DID TABLE BOTH, RIGHT? I DON'T WANT TO COME BACK AND

FORGET THAT WE DID THAT. >>I JUST CANNOT REMEMBER AS VOTING ON BOATS. YES WE DID.

I REMEMBER THAT WE TABLE ITEM 15. 1016 IS THE ACTUAL PROPOSAL. WE TABLE ON THAT

ONE. OKAY GREAT. >>NOW, WE'VE GOT ITEM NUMBER 23. DOES THE ELECTRIC COATING

[23. Discuss and consider implementation of electronic voting and/or microphone control systems in the Nueces County Commissioners Court.]

INVOICES COUNTY COMMISSIONERS COURT. DARRELL IS HERE TO UPDATE US.

>>ACTUALLY HE'S NOT HERE, BUT HE'S ONLINE. REGARDS TO THE SYSTEMS. ONE SYSTEM IS BASICALLY READY AND ANOTHER ONE IS A LITTLE BIT OF WORK. DARRELL, DO I HAVE THAT

STRAIGHT? >>I HAVE BEEN MEETING WITH SWAG IT IN THE VISION ALLEY ÃÃ MEETING WITH THEM YESTERDAY. AND THEY'RE GOING TO SEND A QUOTE ON THEM TO LOOK AT IT AND SEE WHAT THEY ENTAIL. BASICALLY, THE AV EQUIPMENT HAS BEEN SWITCHED OUT THERE A WHILE BACK. THEY DID AWAY WITH THE IS USED BY PREVIOUS COUNTIES JUDGES. TO RELIEVE THE FUNDS THERE. AND IT'S REALLY ABOUT MORE THAN THAT. IN THE SYSTEM IS NOT COMPLETED I BEEN WATCHING TUITIONS COURT MEETING TODAY. BOTH SAME AS WELL AS THE SPY GET STREAMING SYSTEM.

THIS KIND OF GONE DOWN A LIST THAT I HAVE HERE. THE WANT TO COMPLETE THE INTEGRATION BETWEEN THE SYSTEM AND SWAG IT THE INTRODUCTION OF ZONE IN THESE MEETINGS. AS YOU KNOW, NEVER HAPPENED IN THE PAST. BUT UNTIL COVID CAME ALONG, ÃÃ THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS THAT YOU HAVE TO WATCH FOR IN DOING THIS. IT'S KIND OF TRICKY. THIS BUTTON THAT WAS USED BY

JUDGES IS NOT GOING TO FIT IN WITH THIS MODERNIZED SYSTEM. >>THINK ABOUT THEM COMING IN, GOT TO UNDERSTAND THAT COMMISSIONERS AND ANTI-JUDGE SOMETIMES COMES IN THE ACCESS AS WELL. ARE GOING TO EXECUTIVE SESSION. AS SUCH, YOU STILL NEED ZOOM SOUND FOR THOSE THAT ARE ATTENDING REMOTELY. YOU CANNOT HAVE PUBLIC OPINION EXECUTIVE SESSION. THAT IS ONE OF THE TRICKY PART. IT IS DOABLE. THE SPY GET STREAM SYSTEM CAN BE CAN BE BAD AS WELL. THINGS CAN BE CONTAINED. THAT'S A PART OF WHAT WILL COME OUT OF THIS. BUT IN ALL ACTUALITY, WHENEVER THERE IS NOT A MEETING OR ANYTHING GOING ON. THE SOUND IS ACTUALLY SYSTEM. IN THE PAST, ABLE TO TURN. ESSENTIALLY VERY EASILY THE DOING ANYTHING THAT MIGHT TO BE FIGURED OUT. NEVER BECAME AND USED IT. SO, SO MAKE SURE THAT THAT'S DONE RIGHT. SO, AND THEN NEVER IT'S NOT IN USE, WE CAN USE THE SYSTEM ALSO GETTING A MEETING IN THE COUNTY JUDGE AND STARTING THE MEETING. PRELIMINARY ITEMS FOR WE GET TO THE ACTUAL AGENDA. [INDISCERNIBLE] AT TIMES, ALL OTHER SOUND BROUGHT IN. SO, TO DO THAT CAN IS THERE. OPERATOR. THE COMMITTEE NEEDS TO GO IS LOOKED AT IT. REASON I WANTED TO SEE HIM IS CLOSE TO STREAMING, EVEN THE BOOK THE CITIZEN MORE TIME.

SO YOU GET A FEEDBACK THAT. COURSE, USING CAMERAS DON'T LOOK AS GOOD ACTUALLY LOSE SPINNING AROUND ALL THE TIME. SO, PRETTY NOTICEABLE. SO, YOU WILL ACTUALLY GET THE SWAG IT Ã ÃGET COMPLETELY RID OF THAT STANDING BY HER. ALSO WILL BE ACTIVATING THE VOTING BUTTONS THAT ARE ON. AVAILABLE BOX THERE BY YOU. DID WE COULD DO A LITTLE WORK PULLING THEM IN

[05:40:01]

AS WELL TO GET BETTER SOUND. WE CAN ACTUALLY GO BACK TO OUR PRESENTATION THAT WAS DONE BY PRESENTERS AS OPPOSED TO HAVING HAD AN OPERATOR THERE. THE FILE IS IN THERE.

>>GOING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN THE PRESENTATION AS THEY WISH. O, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING

AFTER THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT. >>THANK YOU DARRELL.

WILL GO AND ACTUALLY TEST IS EXACTLY WHERE IT'S GOING TO BECAUSE THAT IS SOMETHING I HAVE PULLED ÃÃ THAT'S GOING TO BE KIND OF IN CONJUNCTION SOMETHING SAME AS WE DISCUSSED ALSO BRINGING IN DOC YOU SIGN SO THAT PLOT DOCUMENTS CAN FLIP THROUGH THERE. SINCE KIND OF IRRELEVANT. ALL THOSE ÃÃTHE AUTOMATED AND UP IN THE RIGHT LOCATION. SO, AS I WORKED WITH HER, GOING TO GET THE FULL PROCESS GOES ON PEOPLE WHAT IS ÃÃTHE FINAL RESULT THAT SAYS YES, THEY VOTED IN HERE IS HOW THE WHERE ALL THIS ENDED UP THAT. SEE EXACTLY HOW ONE WORKS FOR THIS IS ACTUALLY TURNED ON THE MIDDLE READING Ã ÃSTART WITH AN EXPLANATION EXACTLY WAS HAPPENING. WE WILL SEE THE RESULTS AS WELL.

WHAT IT WILL. >>PICKING UP. >>JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT CAN BE RECORDED, IT CAN BE RECORDED AS ANYTHING. WE DIDN'T. SO, RIGHT NOW? THAT'S

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT RIGHT NOW? FOR VOTING? >>YES. YES, FOR ÃÃWE HAVE TRAINING, VOTING PART. THE PUSH TO TALK MICROPHONE ALREADY. THE NEW BUTTON ON THAT BOX IS A MOOT POINT. TWO OF THEM BUT THIS WILL GIVE US THE PRIMARY THING ABOUT SOUND.

>>OKAY. ALRIGHT SO, I WILL TAKE THAT AS A MOTION. >>A MOTION AND A SECOND-PERIOD

SHIRT. >>ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY MISSING I.

>>GROUP: I. >>OKAY, AND AS I SAID, THAT CONCLUDES THAT HUMAN RESOURCES PIECE. WE GET TO THE BUDGET Ã ÃI JUST WANT TO NOTE THAT WE HAVE THE TWO ITEMS FOR

EXECUTIVE SESSION. SO THAT JUST MAY BE EXCUSED. >>I APOLOGIZE. YES. AND.

>>OF COURSE, WE GOTTA GO BACK TO THE BUDGET. >>JENNY, I'M THAT IT IS QUICK ISN'T IT? I EXECUTIVE SESSION TWO ITEMS OF THE TWO CASES? ARE YOU FEELING IT TAKES A

LITTLE WHILE? >>SHOULD. THE POOL GO INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION TO SUPPORT

THE SOFTWARE. >>WHAT CAN WE DO THAT,, JUST KEEP GOING?

>>I AM JUST TRYING TO GET A FEEL FOR THE EXECUTIVE SESSION AND WHAT THAT WOULD TAKE AND

[06:10:03]

WITH REGARDS TO THE ÃÃI MEAN WHAT'S UP WITH THE BUDGET. AFTER THE BUDGET, WE WILL NEED TO STAY FOR EXECUTIVE SESSION. WHAT I'M TRYING TO DO KEEPING THINGS THAT PIECE. BECAUSE IT MAKES THE CART BACK. HAVE SOME PATIENTS. ALRIGHT SO, WHEN BUDGET. ITEMS, WHICH WILL BE LOCATED IN YOUR PACKET. I THINK IT'S TWO THROUGH FOUR. AND THIS IS DISCUSSING AND CONSIDERING AN ADOPTION ORDER APPROVING THE 2020 TAX GOAL. ALL TAXABLE PROPERTY. THIS IS ALSO STATUTORY IN NATURE. THERE WILL BE LANGUAGE THAT I WILL ALSO NEED TO READ. SO, THIS IS HOSPITAL DISTRICT. FOR OASIS COUNTY, YOU MAY RECALL THE PUBLIC. ÃÃDALE, RICO WILL BE BUDGET CHALLENGES. SO, MAKE SURE WE ASK WHAT WHAT THE RECOMMENDATION IS I HAVE MY NOTES AS .311 WHICH IS THE CURRENT TAX RATE BUDGET CHALLENGES CURRENTLY. IS THAT

CORRECT? >>WITH SEVERAL SCENARIOS AND PROCESSES, WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO LIMITED AMOUNT OF POSITIONS LIMITED AMOUNT TRANSFERS THAT PROVIDE A LIST OF SUCH WHAT THIS DOES GIVE US ENOUGH AS SOME ADDITIONAL FUNDS TO SOME THOUSAND 20 1C IS SIMILAR. IS SIMILAR TRANSFERS TO BE IN ANY CHARGES THAT WE HAVE. AS CURRENTLY .31483 IS TAX-FREE TO ACCOMPLISH THE GOAL AS SUBMITTED. >OKAY. JUST MAYBE ÃÃÃ90. COMPLETENESS Ã ÃTHAT THOSE TAKES CARE OF THE BUDGET IS ONLY CONTINUED EXPECTED PAYMENTS THAT BEGIN TO CONTRACT TAKES CARE OF THE INSURANCE PREMIUM THAT VOTED ON NOT TOO LONG. COSTS MILLION FOUR TO THE BUDGET. ALL CLASS ACTION; THE PAY GROUP 11 TO $15. THE OUTCOME IS THAT?

>>.THAT DID NOT COME IN. >>THERE ON HIS AND ONE. IS THAT RIGHT? AND ONE ALL WILL INCLUDES ALL OF THOSE. THREE CLASSES. AND INCLUDES ALL THE POSITIONS THAT WE DID JUST $60,000 BLASTER. THIS PUTS ALL THE PIPING FROM THE DAS OFFICE INTO THE GENERAL FUND. AND THE

DA WILL BE COMPUTING SOME FUNDS TO OFFSET THAT COST. >>DALE, CAN I ASK THE QUESTION

JUDGE? >>OF COURSE. >>WHAT ABOUT THE SCENARIO YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT IN REGARDS TO THE BIM CONTRACT. THE DOCKET SHIPPED AROUND OR ÃÃ THAT I MENTIONED TO THE TWO OF YOU THAT WE REDUCED SOME OF OUR COSTS FROM OUR WORD FUND. ALL OF THEIR THE REQUESTED SEVEN OR EIGHT THOUSAND DOLLARS WOULD BE TRANSFERRED 2021 CEOS. SOME OF THE ROAD AND BRIDGE MAINTENANCE REPAIR WILL ALSO BE TO THE CIP AND FUNDED AS OF 2021 CEOS. SO WE CAN REDUCE THE EXPENSE OF FUND 12 TO TRANSFER FUND 11 AND FUND 12. 1.5 MILLION REQUESTS.

SO, WE ARE ABLE TO PAY FOR IT. SO, THE NET EFFECT TO THE GENERAL FUND BUDGET CHALLENGES.

>>WE GET TO THE STREET, 200,000. >>HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS

[06:15:01]

POSITIVE FOR INCREASING RESERVES. THEN ASK THE ORIGINAL SHEET OF PAPER INDICATED A HIT TO THE GENERAL FUND TO THE GENERAL FUND HERE. THAT WILL SPELLING.

>>SO, IT'S REQUIRED TO HOWEVER, ABLE TO DO ÃÃCHANGE SOME OF THE EXPENSES OF FUND 1200 USING SOME OF THE TRANSFERS. FROM 111 TO FUND 12, WE WERE ABLE TO USE THOSE REDUCTIONS TO PAY FOR

THE ONE POINT 5 MILLION. >>NICE. >>GLAD YOU'RE SAYING THIS.

THIS IS THE REQUESTED INFORMATION. I PROVIDE YOU A SMALL LITTLE SUMMARY THIS MORNING WHEN HE CAME IN. WORKING WITH KAREN AND WORKING WITH SOME OF OUR CORE PERSONNEL. SAYING THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE COULD GET SOME ADVANCES OFF. WE MISSED OUT ON SOME OF THE ELECTION DIVISIONS AS WELL. SOME OF THE PORTIONS FOR MANAGER TRY TO GET CERTIFIED. AND WORKING SCOTT, WE WANTED TO TRANSFER THE POSITION OF OUR NATURAL

RESOURCES ALSO GO MESA FUND. IT IS AN INCREASE IN SOUND. >>31.

>>WE NEED TO AMEND BUDGET TO INCLUDE THOSE ADDITIONAL ONES I APPROVE. PROVIDING PERSONAL CHANGE. 44,000 ACTIONS. IT'S A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE. I BELIEVE THAT JUST AT THE RATE WE'RE CHARGING AT .311483 IS TO ACCOMPLISH ALL APARTMENTS WE NEED.

>>DALE, I HAD THIS TENDED TO BE. THIS GETTING FOR THE COUNTY CLERK'S PROPOSAL?

>>AT THE VERY BOTTOM OF ELECTIONS. NO ONE IS EXCLUDED FROM WHERE WE ORIGINALLY GAVE

YOU. AS THE FALL TOP WHERE IT HAD INCLUDED. >>THIS IS ALREADY IN THE BUDGET

? >>YES. >>IF THAT DELETION.

>>YES. [INDISCERNIBLE] >>AND THE OTHER THING IS JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT THE 10 GENERAL FUND POSITION FOR 204,000 THERE AND JUST THINK OF TAX OFFICE, TITLE REJECTION CLERK COUNTY COURT AT LAW. THE DRUG COORDINATOR. THE DISTRICT CLERK, THAT IS THE STREETS SECRETARY. THE COURT CLERK. ENVIRONMENTAL ENFORCEMENT ÃÃ IT'S THE SENIOR COURT. AND THOSE MAKEABLE TOTAL $204,000. AGAIN, WE WENT OVER IT THIS MORNING. IT JUST TO FOCUS ATTENTION ON IT. UNDER THE THAT'S JUST KIND OF A GREAT. I LIKE TO THINK OF IT AS A GRANT, EVEN THOUGH IT'S NOT ÃÃIT'S BETTER THAN A GRANT. THEY ARE GIVING YOU THE MONEY AHEAD OF TIME. USUALLY GRANTS TO DO THAT. BUT UNDER ARPA, THESE FUND POSITIONS WOULD BE THE COUNTY ATTORNEYS THE FPS CASES. THE COUNTY TWO. THE ATTORNEY TO ATTORNEY THREE LEVEL. A LEGAL ASSISTANT. AS THE THREE THAT WE HAVE ALREADY APPROVED.

THAT DOESN'T COME FROM GENERAL FUND. COME FROM ANOTHER LOCATION. THE DISASTER RECOVERY SPECIALIST EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS PUBLIC OFFICER AND THE CONSTABLE FOR THE LABOR,

>>I AM SORRY CLAVER PROPERTY IN TABOR COUNTY. IT BELONGS TO NUECES COUNTY. THIS POSITIONS TOTAL 411,477 AND WOULD BE PROPOSED TO BE FUNDED BY THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN HAS BEEN

DISCUSSED. PREVIOUSLY. >>YOUR HONOR, THE GENERAL FUND, YOU DID MENTION FIVE THAT WE TALKED ABOUT HOW THERE ARE TWO POSITIONS THAT WILL BE 700 THE COUNTY COUNTY CLERK ON THE MARK OFFICER AS WELL AS THE COUNTY ATTORNEY. ÃÃTHOSE TWO IS A REDUCTION. THE TOTAL AMOUNT

FOR THE GENERAL FUND IS ONLY 84,000? >>I SHOULD'VE MENTIONED ON THE TEMPORARY SIDE ÃÃIT WOULD BE THE RISK ASSESSMENT ADDING TO THE ARPA.

RISK ASSESSMENT FOR CS CD AND CS CD AT THE SSD ÃÃSEE STD. THE RESTITUTION ANALYST FOR THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE ALONG WITH THE VETERANS SERVICE OFFICER ÃÃTEMPORARY FROM THE GRANT THAT WE LOST. ALL THOSE ÃÃALL THIS WOULD BE PART OF FUNDS. DALE, QUESTION THE ARPA

FUND. >>YES SIR. >>WE ARE NOT DEALING WITH THAT?

[06:20:01]

>>SOFTWARE RIGHT NOW? >>BRING US THAT BACK AT A LATER TIME. A SEPARATE ITEM IS ON THE BUDGET. WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A PROPOSAL IN OUR FEES AND ALL THAT. THAT'S MONEY THAT WE KNOW WORKS WITH THINK WORKS. BUT THAT'S NOT HERE. HAVING THAT DAY. OKAY. SO, BUT IT'S WANT TO CLARIFY THAT THAT A COUPLE PEOPLE ASKED. THE FACT NONE OF THE ART WOULD BE

REPRESENTED INSIDE THE GENERAL FUND. >>THAT'S CONSIDERED A GRANT.

>>RIGHT, WE'RE DEALING WITH THE POSITIONS. >>YOU'RE DEALING THE STUFF.

>>NOT THE STUFF. >>JUST SO YOU KNOW, IT'S THE SAME FOR ENVIRONMENTAL IT.

>>IT PROPOSAL FOR $3 MILLION STRUCTURE TECHNOLOGY. NOT ALSO BE AT A LATER DATE, WHEN HE

BRINGS BACK THAT COMPLETE I WOULD SAY SET OF PROPOSALS. >>WE HAVE PROVEN SOME POSITIONS

UNDER THE ARPA. >>THAT IS CORRECT. AND THEN, Ã ÃI WOULD WANT TO POINT OUT IS THAT WEIRD DECISION VOTED IN COURT REGARDING METRO CALM. THIS REALLY UPGRADES TO THE TECHNOLOGY. THAT WE HAD IN THE RMS. ALONG WITH SALARY INCREASES. THAT IS AN ADDITIONAL DOLLAR. THIS TOTAL TO SUE 64 AND AND THEN IT'S A TOTAL 500 40,005 AND $60. AN ADDITIONAL TO LIFEGUARD SERVICES. WE GUESSTIMATED AND DON'T HAVE COMPLETE NO, NUMBER YET. BUT WE GUESSTIMATED 300,000 AND ALSO ONES THAT WILL BE PRESENTED TO YOU AT A LATER DATE. WE GET THOSE FINAL NUMBERS. BUT, THE METRO CALM PIECE HAS ALREADY HANDLED IN

COURT. >>ANOTHER QUESTION ON THE ARPA STUFF.

>>IF I'M RECOLLECTING CORRECTLY. ONE OF THE EMERGENCY POSITIONS WAS GOING TO BE TO HELP AREA AND GRANTS WITH THE RECOVERY SPECIALIST. BECAUSE THAT'S GONNA HELP TAKE SOME OF THE LOAD OFF OF HER OFFICE. IF I'M REMEMBERING THAT CORRECTLY. IS THAT

CORRECT? >>IT'S JUST YES. >>THIS IS THE SUPER SIMPLE SIMPLIFIED WAY. THE PERSON THAT'S IN CHARGE OF WORKING GRANTS TO MAKE CERTAIN THAT WE

GET THOSE RECOVERIES. >>LIKE REIMBURSEMENTS AND FEES REIMBURSEMENT.

>>TON OF FEMA. >>WHICH IS WHAT I THINK WORKS A LOT.

>>. >>THAT'S GOING TO HELP A LOT TO COME OF THAT LOAN OFF OF THAT AND SO, THINK THEY'RE DOING A LOT OF OTHER THINGS. GREAT GRANDMA. THAT'S WHY IT'S UNDER

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT. >>THE RECOVERY SPECIALIST IS ACTUALLY AN ICS STRUCTURE NAMED ACTUALLY HAS A JOB DESCRIPTION. DON'T GET ME WRONG, THAT RECOVERY SPECIALIST WILL BE DOING A LOT OF RECOVERY. SO, FOR EXAMPLE, LET'S TAKE HURRICANE ÃTHE SAMSARA, WINTER STORM YURI. THERE'S ABOUT $300,000 THAT WE NEED TO GO AFTER HIM CLAIM. SO, THAT WOULD ALSO BE IN THE RECOVERY AND LET'S JUST SAY DEAL WE ARE EXCITED ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO GET SOME GL OUT. MAYBE DOLLARS AVERAGE YELLOW HELP US WITH STANDARD. IF THERE IS THAT BUCKET OF MONEY PUT FOR COASTAL. COUNTIES. THAT WERE AFFECTED, BUT MAYBE GIVEN FEDERAL DECLARATIONS. THAT WOULD ALSO BE CONSIDERED EVERY DISASTER. I GUESS WE JUST FOCUS ON COVID, BUT IT COULD BE FOR OUR COUNTY SS ANYTHING FROM FLOODS ÃÃNATIONAL. AND WE GET BACK. OMETIMES THEY WILL COMBINE THOSE TWO EVENTS LIKE YOU DID IN 2016. TO GET A DECLARATION AND THAT RECOVERY SPECIALIST WILL ALSO BE WORKING WITH US ON THAT. IT'S LITERALLY RECOVERY IN GENERAL. BUT, I AGREE WITH YOU. YOU'RE GOING TO SPEND THE

TIME TIME AND FEMA. >>SO, I GUESS MY QUESTION IS Ã ÃAND I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S APPROPRIATE HIM TO DO. BUT DO WE JUST STRUCTURE TO WHERE THIS IS TAKEN OUT TRYING TO TAKE SOMETHING AWAY FROM YOU. I KNOW SHE'S 20 LIMIT. WE JUST TAKE IT OUT AND PUT IT TO THIS PERSON'S JOB DESCRIPTION? OR IS IT CAN BE IN THE JOB DESCRIPTION SO THAT WE HAVE IT MEMORIALIZED? IS YOUR SPLIT BETWEEN DEPARTMENTS CAN BE A LITTLE DIFFICULT. AND REALLY RECOVERY SPECIALIST IS IN EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT. AS COORDINATED. JUST A GRANT ADMINISTRATOR MEANT TO GET THE GRANT. WE ASK WAY MORE OF OUR PEOPLE THAN WE SHOULD.

>>NOW WE ARE TAKING THAT AWAY. DOCUMENT WRONG. SHE CAN BE INTIMATELY INVOLVED. BUT AS FAR AS JOB DESCRIPTIONS. THEY'RE BASICALLY BUILT BY TATUM FOR US. SO, I THINK THERE IS SOMETHING IN THERE THAT NEEDS I DON'T KNOW, BETTER DEFINITION, WE CAN DO THAT.

>>SOMETHING. I JUST WANT TO SAY BETWEEN YOUR SPLIT BETWEEN DEPARTMENTS IT CAN BE A LITTLE WHO DO YOU THINK YOU LISTEN TO? SO, MAKE SURE THE JOB DESCRIPTION THAT IF IT'S IN

[06:25:02]

THERE ALREADY, GREAT. THAT WE ARE MAKING SURE PROVIDING SOME RELIEF FOR MARIA SO THAT SHE

COULD GET GRANTS. >>THAT'S THE IDEA. >>I WONDER WERE GONNA GET GRANTS NOT HAVING TO RETRIEVE THINGS. RECOVERY THINGS. SORRY FOR THAT GIVES ME SOME

INTENT. >>. >>THERE ARE SOME OTHER THINGS THAT PROBABLY NEED TO BE ENOUGH, TALKED ABOUT. THE THINGS THAT I WANTED TO MENTION WAS THAT THERE IS ALWAYS THE OUTSIDE AGENCY FUND. SO, THAT THERE ARE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS. THERE ARE 20,000 EACH OF US. AND YOU KNOW, IF THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO PUT THOSE TOWARDS ANOTHER AREA ÃÃWHAT'S NICE ABOUT ART IS THAT IT FOCUSES ON ECONOMIC RECOVERY AND PARTICULARLY SINGLES OUT NONPROFIT. SO, IF YOU REALLY WANTED TO SAVE 100,000 IN THE GENERAL FUND, AS THEY SAY PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS. AND DO IT.

>>AND THEN TAKE HUNDRED THOUSAND FROM ARPA. AND THEN BRING IT TO COURT AND LET'S TAKE CARE OF GOOD NONPROFITS THAT NEED WINGS TO FLY AFTER COVID-19. HAS HURT THEIR ABILITY TO RAISE FUNDS. ANOTHER UNITED WAY AND OTHERS, HANDLE FLIGHT AND SEVERAL OF THE BIG NONPROFITS HAVE COME TO US. THEY HAVE SENT US WHEN YOU HAVE YOUR WORKSHOP, WHICH WE'VE GOT ONE COMING UP, CAN'T REMEMBER THE DATE, SEPTEMBER 20 EIGHTH? GUYS? THE ARPA WORKSHOP? ARPA WORKSHOP FOR THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY? THE POINT IS THAT YOU CAN ACHIEVE THE SAME EFFECT FOR THE HUNDRED THOUSAND WITH OUR BUT IF YOU WANTED TO SAVE 100,000 IN YOUR GENERAL FUND. THAT'S ALL I WANTED TO POINT OUT. IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE THAT.

>>. >>THERE ARE SOME BUDGETARY ITEMS THAT ARE SMALL. THEY ARE STILL WORTHY OF TALKING ABOUT. ABLE TO POTENTIALLY UTILIZE ALL CEOS FOR IT SWITCHES AND JAIL

MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS. >>THE TOTAL LOT, BUT EVERYTHING ADDS UP. THAT WAS ANOTHER 200,000 FOR IT SWITCH UPGRADE. AND JOE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM OF THE HUNDRED AND 1000. AND MAYBE THERE IS ANOTHER THOUSAND DOLLARS THAT CAN BE UTILIZED FOR ARPA. THOSE INCLUDE NETWORK AWARENESS SOFTWARE AND DATA MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS. THEY WILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO BRING THIS BACK TO YOU. FROM THE GENERAL MANAGER FUN, THE ONLY THING THE IMPACT ÃÃTHE GENERAL FUND ÃÃI'LL MENTION IT BECAUSE THEY ARE IMPORTANT TO KNOW THAT THERE IS ALWAYS A LOT OF NEEDS BETWEEN AND WERE ABLE TO CREATE A FUNDING SOURCE.

>>ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FOR DALE? REGARDS TO SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE GONE OVER?

ANY QUESTIONS? >>EFFICIENCY THIS ONCE BEFORE REHAB. SPENT THE ENTIRE YEAR CHANGING ORDERS AND DEPARTMENTS TO DO THE JOB BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE RESOURCES.

THIS THROUGH AS I COULD AND I, AS MUCH AS I COULD IS NECESSARY. I DON'T BELIEVE THERE'S ANY AREA THAT WE CAN Ã ÃÃÃTHIS IS OUR BUDGET NUMBER THE ACTIONS OF HIS COMING LAST THE BUDGET. WE KNOW THAT. WE EXPECTED TO DO THAT. EXPECT OUR EXPENSES TO BE ANYWHERE FROM 90 TO 92 PERCENT OF OUR TOTAL EXPENSES. SO, THAT GIVES US FROM THE HOPE AND HOWEVER IT'S BETTER TO HAVE THEM AROUND THIS AND NOT SPEND IT. IN TRYING TO CUT IT. THEN WE'RE

SHORT. >>REMEMBER WHAT CUTS YOU PROPOSE?

>>I WENT IN AND CUT SEVERAL DEPARTMENTS. SEVERAL DEPARTMENTS WE WERE ASKING FOR A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF SUPPLIES. IN AREAS AGAIN, I PROBABLY CUT AT LEAST AND HAD Ã

ÃTHE SUN. >>SCOTT MUST'VE BEEN THE BENEFICIARY Ã¦

>>THE MEMBER WHAT DEPARTMENTS? >>THE BIGGEST DEPARTMENTS IN IT, I THINK ÃÃWAS THE ONE BEFORE HIM. THE PUT IN A REQUEST FOR $900,000 OF SOFTWARE JUST SAID A LOT OF OUR

BREAKDOWNS. SO, CUT AT LEAST $500,000. >>AND THE OTHER ONES WERE THAT ASK FOR $20,000 ÃÃOFFICE SUPPLIES THE NORMAL EXPENSE WAS 20. I'M NOT CAN GIVE THEM ANOTHER 40. I DID NOT INCREASE IT, BUT TRY TO DO AS BEST I COULD SAYING IN THEIR HISTORY

[06:30:05]

LAST FIVE YEARS HAS BEEN 20 AND THE BUDGET IS 20 ÃÃI DON'T SEE WHERE I CAN CUT.

>>THANK YOU. OKAY. THE OTHER QUESTIONS? >>HAD ONE MORE QUESTION.

>>THERE ARE NO WEEPING, RIGHT? NO. >>IN FACT, MENTIONED THAT ONE OFFICER IS ÃÃIS THERE ANY WAY DISCUSSION WITH FOR THE COUNTY QUESTIONS FOR CERTAIN AMOUNT

TIMES. THE ONLY TWO POSITIONS THAT ARE BEING REDUCED. >>LIKE.

>>SO, SO, DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS AT ALL CARDS TO THE ITEMS YOU HAVE HAD A CHANCE.

>>WITH WAITING ON A FEW QUESTIONS ÃÃMAYBE ÃÃIN REGARDS TO THE TAX RATE, NOR PROPOSING .3 11 THE CURRENT TAX RATE. THE CHALLENGES THAT WE HAVE ÃÃTHAT WE HAVE IDENTIFIED A POSSIBLE COVER ÃÃ WHICH DOESN'T QUITE A BIT FOR SOME OF FOLKS THAT CAME WORKSHOP REALLY NEED X, Y, AND Z ÃÃAS THEY SAY, COULD MAKE IT. THAT TAX RATE. THE TAX

RATE WILL BRING APPROXIMATELY $0.7 MILLION. >>THAT IS CORRECT. THAT IS

BELOW. AND A HALF PERCENT REVENUE IS THAT CORRECT? >>3.4 PERCENT. OKAY. SO, WHEN THE IS THAT WE ARE ABLE TO HAVE LAST YEAR. ALL THINGS THAT WE JUST TALKED ABOUT THIS YEAR INCLUDING THOSE POSITIONS THAT WE DID DO MIDSTREAM. TO TALK ABOUT.

>>I WOULD LIKE TO SUGGEST THAT WE ADOPT THIS TAX RATE WHICH JUST TO BE FAIR, GOING BACK TO THE WAY EARLIER COMMISSIONER CHESNEY, THAT REPRESENTS .1 EIGHT PERCENT INCREASE IN THE

TAX RATE. ABOVE THE GENERAL FUND. >>WITH THE OTHER WAY THIS TIME.

>>IS NOT INTERESTED? SINCE WANT TO SHARE THAT WITH YOU BECAUSE THAT'S JUST THE REASON WHY IS THAT WHEN THEY DO REGULATION ÃÃTHE TAX RATE FOR YOUR SERVICE AT A LOW LEVEL.

HOWEVER, AS TAX RATE THAT SUMS THE SAME AS LAST YEAR. AN ADDITIONAL ABOUT CONDITIONS.

>>AND SO, THIS GIVES US ENOUGH, THIS GIVES US, AFTER AGAIN, A COMPLEX HERE. YOU KNOW, KATIE.

DO YOU WANT, YOU HAVE NOT REALLY TALKED ABOUT THE HEALTH STUFF, BUT HERE YOU ARE HAVING CHALLENGES. IN GENERAL. HEALTH INSURANCE. EXTRA CHALLENGING YOU. YET WE HAVE CASH RESERVES THAT BETTER THAN THE 25 PERCENT. SO, WE ARE FACED WITH THIS INTERESTING DILEMMA THAT ASK YOURSELF, EACH OTHER? SHIRTS? IT IS OUR BUT YOU GET THAT ABILITY? WILL TAKE CARE OF IT. OURSELVES ON OCCASION. ÃÃJUST A MATTER OF WHEN. SOME OF THESE RESERVES? CASH RESERVES. FOR THE HEALTH INSURANCE. IT'S BEEN A COMPLETED YEAR. BUT, FOR THE TAX WITNESSING. BEGIN A BASIS WITH THE PROPERTY CODE. I REALIZED THE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS HOME IS NOT THE BENCHMARK, BUT IT IS WHAT THE STATE ASKS US TO PRODUCE. ON THE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS HOME. IT'S APPROXIMATELY ZERO DOLLARS ON THE RECENT

[06:35:04]

INCREASES. HE SAID, I THINK DID A GOOD JOB SEE YOU ÃTO SHUT OFF I HAVE ONE THAT YOU

DID. >>KNOW, I WILL HAVE THE 149 RIGHT?

>>YOU KNOW, THE AVERAGE MEDIAN HOUSE? >>.

>>YOU HAVE IT RIGHT? >>IF YOU JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT IT IS PRETTY AVERAGE MEDIAN

HOUSE. >>GETS US THAT JUST DOES NOT GET US WHAT WE WANT, BUT IT CERTAINLY GETS US. DELIVERS TO THE TAXPAYER THE SAME RATE. SO, I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT WE MIGHT WANT TO CALL HIM SAINT DALE, BECAUSE THAT'S PROBABLY AT LEAST ONE MIRACLE THAT HE HAS PERFORMED. THE SECOND MAIL COMES FROM THE FACT THAT WE ADDRESS INDIVIDUAL NEEDS IN THIS COUNTY AMERICAN RELIEF PLAN. INCLUDES TEMPORARY POSITIONS. NEW POSITIONS. AND IN THE FUTURE, AND MIGHT EVEN INCLUDE PREMIUM PAY. I KNOW THAT SOMETIMES THEY LISTEN.

SERVES AS ASSOCIATION CONTACTED US. THE MEDICAL EXAMINER'S OFFICE HAS CONTACTED US. WE KNOW THAT THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY AND THE COUNTY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE HAVE MENTIONED THIS. IS A REAL NEED TO DISCUSS PREMIUM PAY FOR OUR TEST TEST: EXEMPLARY SPECIAL PERSONNEL THAT HAD BEEN ON THE FOREFRONT OF COVID-19. SOME OF THEM LIKE CLASSIC HAZARDS RIGHT? THE LAW-ENFORCEMENT SHERIFF'S OFFICE ÃÃCLASSIC HAZARD PAY. AND THEN YOU HAVE ME IN THE OFFICE. THAT'S ALSO CLASSIC. AND YOU HAD THE LAWYERS WERE DEALING WITH THE BACKLOG. AND, WHEN YOU PUT ALL THAT TOGETHER, I DON'T WANT THE COUNTY TO THINK THAT THERE ARE WAYS THAT WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP ALLEVIATE SOME OF THESE PAIN POINTS. NEXT TIME YOU DALE, EVEN THOUGH PINPOINT OF KINDA FIGURING OUT OUR CASH FLOW IN THE FUTURE, I'M NOT SURE NUMBER

11'S WOULD COST.,. IT'S A VERY MINOR AMOUNT. >>IF YOU WANT TO ÃÃWE CAN GO AHEAD AND PUT A SMALL MAGNET. SAKA BE A VERY LARGE AMOUNT. BUT TO MADNESS TO ANYBODY IN THE PAPER THE PAPER 12 WHATEVER THE CASE MIGHT BE. WE'RE TALKING TO BE FIVE OR $1000.

>>THOSE ARE ALL OPTIONS. I'M JUST SAYING THAT THIS GETS US. ASK NOT JUDGE, REALLY THINK I COME UP WITH ÃÃDO WE CAN DO. THE TAX RATE. COVER EVERYTHING WE NEED. THE TAX RATE THAT.

>>MIGHT BE THAT MY OPINION. >>THING RIGHT NOW PROBABLY IT'S A GOOD TIME WE CAN DO PROBLEM.

BECAUSE OF MARTHA AND ALL THE THINGS THAT WE ARE LUCKY TO HAVE YOU KNOW?

>>THAT THE NEGATIVE AMOUNT OF MONEY WOULD BE? >>WHAT WOULD IT BE? >CAN I

JUST FINISH? >>SURE, ABSOLUTELY. >>HAD ENOUGH CORRUPT YOU WANT

YOU WERE TALKING. >>ARE NOT INTERESTED IN DOING THAT YOU EITHER. >YOU KNOW, I'VE WORKED ALL WEEKEND ON THIS. AND I APPRECIATE IT LISA. FOR HELPING ME OUT WHEN I CALL YOU. SHE GAVE ME NUMBERS. SHE JUST GAVE ME WHAT I ASKED FOR AND IAPPRECIATE THAT. ? DO NOTHING EITHER. IT'S FROM A MIXTURE THAT WE ARE DOING THE RIGHT THING AND I FEEL THAT AFTER LOOKING AT EVERYTHING, I JUST ÃÃYOU KNOW, WE ARE ALL STEWARDS OF THE COUNTY BUDGET.? AND THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, WE EXPRESS OUR CONCERNS ABOUT GENERAL FUND BALANCES. WE HAD WHERE WE STAND. IT WAS HERE FROM THE COUNTY AUDITOR. OKAY, WE HAVE MONEY. MONEY AND IT'S THERE. WE CAN DO IT. SO, SPENDING LIKE WE'RE GONNA GO OUT THERE AND SOME SPEND TONS OF MONEY. YOU DON'T HAVE BEEN MADE ME WONDER, DO WE HAVE THE MONEY? JUDGE USE YOUR ORDER EMERGENCY ORDER AND LEVERAGE AND IN MY OPINION, EMERGENCY TAKEN TO MARK TIMES. THAT'S MY OPINION ALSO. AN EMERGENCY MEETING CAN BE CALLED TO DISCUSS AND APPROVE AS WE SHOULD. AS A COURT. I THINK THERE'S AN EXCESS AMOUNT OF FUNDS. WE KEEP GOING TO GENERAL ACCOUNT. TALK ABOUT REIMBURSEMENTS. NEVER GET 100 PERCENT. FEMA, BUT IT'S NOT ONLY ONE TIME. WE WAIT AND WAIT AND WAIT. SOMETIMES WE WAIT A COUPLE

[06:40:02]

CYCLES OF BUDGETS. FOR INSTANCE, THERE STILL WAITING. THREE AND HALF YEARS WE ARE STILL IN. I THINK I'VE GOT EVERYTHING BACK. AFTER CLARIFICATION ABOUT THE BUDGET, THE WORKSHOPS AND DURING OUR MEETINGS, AND GETTING NUMBERS FROM ÃÃSTILL FOR SOME REASON STILL FEEL THAT THE BUDGET NUMBERS ARE NOT WHERE THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE. IS IT JUST ME AND ÃÃI THINK IT'S CONFUSING. THAT'S ALWAYS BEEN CONFUSING LIMITED BUDGETS. AND, THE LAST MOMENT STILL FIGURING OUT WHAT NEEDS TO BE CUT. WHAT NEEDS TO BE INCLUDED.

>>SHOULD HAVE PRETTY MUCH A CLEAR PICTURE ON OUR BUDGET. AND WHAT WE ARE PAYING FOR.

ESPECIALLY FROM THE GENERAL FUND. >>POSITIONS IN A CATEGORY TWO COLLECTING WHAT'S BEEN PAID FROM WHAT I OTHER FUNDS. YOU KNOW? I KNOW WE TALK ABOUT ARPA. I KNOW TALK ABOUT THE STATE GRAND. THE SOCIAL REVENUES AND WORLDLY SPECIAL REVENUES COMING FROM? I DON'T KNOW. WE HAVE SOME FOR PRECISIONS AND TRANSFERS.

>>NINA, TO ME, I HEAR THERE'S 20 MILLION IN FUNDING A SPECIAL REVENUE. AND THEN I HEAR THERE'S 90 MILLION. YOU KNOW, THAT'S RIGHT KIND OF CONFUSED ABOUT WHAT ACTUALLY DO WE HAVE.

I FEEL AT THIS TIME FOR US, THE COUNTY TO TIGHTEN UP OUR BELTS ÃJUST BASED ON THE NUMBER WE HAVE TO DATE ÃÃTHAT I SEEN TODAY. TAKE CARE OF EMPLOYEES AND CITIZENS. BOTH THIS COMMUNITY AND NOT RAISING TAXES, BECAUSE MANY ARE HURTING FINANCIALLY. MEDICALLY AND PSYCHOLOGICALLY. I WILL CONTINUE TO HURT UNTIL WE RECOVER FROM THIS RECENT DISASTER COVID PANDEMIC. THE COUNTY HAD THE ABILITY AND MEANS TO RECOVER FINANCIALLY AND BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT WE HAVE A FAVORABLE FUND BALANCE. FOR CITIZENS NOW RECOVERED WHAT THEY'VE LOST AS QUICKLY. OUR RIGHT. THEY WILL BE, RIGHT PLACE. WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN RESPONSIBLE FUND BALANCE OF AT LEAST 24 OR 25. APPROXIMATELY 60 PERCENT OR MORE OF OUR CITIZENS AND EMPLOYERS WILL ARE NOT AS FORTUNATE TO RECOVER THAT FAST.

THERE WILL BE MORE FINANCIALLY ÃÃMORE FINANCIAL DEBT AND APPEALABLE TO RECOVER AS FAST.

AS YOU KNOW, WE HAVE BEEN IMPACTED WITH COVID. IN THE PAST BACK TO BACK DISASTERS.

OUR OPERATIONS AND MORE SO CITIZENS COULD TWICE AS HARD. BUSINESSES ARE TO CONTINUE TO HURT SMALL BUSINESSES AND RESTAURANTS AND EMPLOYERS ÃIS TO CONTINUE TO HURT THEM OUT WITH COVID BEGINNING ÃÃTHEY DECOMPOSE. ÃÃI SUPPORT CUTTING ACCESS SPENDING. OUR WANTS AND NOT NEEDS. I WILL NOT SUPPORT STAFF NOW. STAFF ARE NEEDED. THEY ARE THE NEEDS. BASED ON THE CURRENT CIRCUMSTANCES ÃÃI ÃÃSOME FORM THE NEW TAX RATE. NO NEW REVENUE TAX RATE TO ACCOMPLICES, ACCOMPANIES THIS IS MY RECOMMENDATION BECAUSE I'M GOING TO DO IT. BUT MY RECOMMENDATION THAT I MENTIONED HERE. HOW CAN WE ACCOMPLISH.

TO ME, AS FAR AS REVENUE RATE, IT'S 1,031,000 186. ACCORDING TO THE FINANCIAL ADVISOR, WE CAN RESPOND TRANSFERS ABOUT ONE MEETING OF 100. ALSO FROM A SPECIAL REVENUE FUND, WE CAN TRANSFER. FROM 500. I SUPPORTED FIVE PERCENT. THIS TIME I HEARD THAT WE NEEDED A 1,000,787 299,000 TWO WE NEED IS FOR HUNDRED THOUSAND. BILL JUST TALKED ABOUT FROM 11 TO 12. PERCENT IS THE OPPORTUNITY TO RECEIVE PANDEMIC TIMES. BECAUSE THE NEW POSITIONS COST US HUNDRED THOUSAND TO 1000 POUND SUPPORT RECLASSIFICATION AND NOT MANY ANYWAY. KENNY

[06:45:01]

CLARK HAS NO ISSUE BECAUSE OF DOMINATION THAT EITHER. IT WILL IMPACT OUR GENERAL FUND.

>>MERCEDES. >>THE DA DEPARTMENT PART-TIME SHOULD BE ADDED TO THE ARPA.

THAT'S WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT. THE DA PRETRIAL THANK OF 208,000 WAS A TOTAL I'M NOT SURE. I'M SURE IT'S COMING FROM THE GENERAL FUND TO BE BACK. THE PAYBACK 240. SO, YOU'RE NOT REALLY LOSING THAT MONEY THERE. AS FOR THE AUDITOR, DOES NOT POSITIONS, THOSE ARE TRANSFERS. WE KEEP LISTING THEM ON THE NEW POSITION. THERE TRANSFERS.

THE SHERIFFS ÃÃI INCLUDED HIM ON A FIVE PERCENT POEM. SOMETHING SHOULD BE. SHE GO TO THE SHERIFF. THE SECRETARY REVENUE FUND ÃÃOR FUND BALANCE, ÃÃA COURT OF LAW COUNTY JUDGE. REQUIRED BY LAW 14,000. COME FROM THE GENERAL FUND. SOMEONE FROM THE POSITIVE. I COULD BE. CONSTABLE ARPA. THE OTHER CATEGORIES THAT I'VE LISTED HERE ÃÃMATTER OF FACT THE GENERAL FUND ÃTHIS WE CAN SEPARATE THEM BECAUSE THEY BEEN ALLOCATED WITH THE FUNDS. METRO COUNTRY, ALL THE TIME. THE ARPA FUNDS ÃÃ264,000.

AND THEN 300,000, THE ARPA FUNDS. EVALUATION OF THE LAWSUIT. WE'RE GONNA SAY THAT MONEY LIVING IN US THAT WE PUT ASIDE. AND AFTER THE. THAT WOULD BE ADDED TO THE BANK.

COMPASS BANK? PAY FOR THAT LOAN. THAT PAYMENT, AGAIN, JUST MY OPINIONS AND EXCLUDE PHYSICALLY SAVINGS TO THE COUNTY. I ASKED EARLIER ABOUT NOT SUPPORT THE LOBBYIST.

SESSION MY PAPER. GOOD THREE OR FOUR MONTHS. TO ME WITH YOUR COMMENTS. YOU WANT SUPPORT FROM OTHER TEST WE HAVE FUNDS IN SUPPORT OF THAT MONTH OR TWO. SPECIAL SESSION GOES.

FIRST SPECIAL SESSION ÃÃI THINK I WOULD SUPPORT. SAVE THIS FUNDS. ÃÃTHOSE ARE EXPIRING SHOULD BE EXPIRED. THIS IS MY OPINION THAT AC/DC IS CURRENTLY IN THE RENT. BY PUTTING MONEY IN MY REMODEL LIMITED THAT MONEY. IT WAS REPORTED REGION. ECONOMIC RATION. BEEN THERE. BUT, ALSO ÃÃIT GIVES US FUNDS. I THINK THIS FUNDS SHOULD BE REALIZED IN OTHER AREAS. WE NEED TO GO TO COURT AND SEE WHERE ELSE CAN YOU HELP, THE COUNTY SHOULD BENEFIT FROM THIS. AMERICAN BANK ONE ÃÃCUT BACK ON THAT LOAN AND I THINK BY WICHMAN'S PROJECTS, ENERGY-SAVING PRODUCT PROJECTS AND CUT BACK ON THE AMERICAN BANK THAT IT'S A BIG PAYMENT OF ESTIMATE. THINK WHEN TYING UP THE BILL. $900,000 MISSION THIS MORNING FOR THE GRANT FROM THE HELP. I UNDERSTAND THAT 230,000 COMING TO THE COUNTY.

THAT WE CAN DO WHATEVER WE WANT WITH THE 230,000. I UNDERSTAND. OKAY? I UNDERSTAND. DON'T LOOK AT ME LIKE YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW? IT WILL BE OKAY. WE'LL BE ALL RIGHT. SO, THIS IS WHERE WE WILL HEAR THINGS. THEN SOMEBODY TELLING US. WE HEAR FROM SOME OF THE PEOPLE. SURE. LET US KNOW THE STATUS IS. IT'S ALL NOT ALL 900,000 GOING

[06:50:03]

TO THE PERSONAL RECOMMENDATION FOR NEW POSITIONS, AS TAX COLLECTOR FRUSTRATION REJECTION. [INDISCERNIBLE] COUNTY COURT PORTABLE NUMBER FIVE. DRUG COORDINATOR. DISTRICT COURT. TJ'S SECRETARY. JP 11 COUNTY COURT COMPARTMENTAL SENIOR COURT IN ENVIRONMENTAL AND HVAC FOR PUBLIC WORKS. POSITIONS I THINK WE NEED. BECAUSE OF THE COUNTIES JOB. MAKE SURE THAT WE PROVIDE THIS KIND OF SERVICES. ESPECIALLY FOR THE BUILDINGS. ESPECIALLY COMMUNITY SUPPORTERS CODED FOR SMOOTH SKIN TO LIMIT THE SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS. GET CONFUSED WITH THAT. YOU KNOW, ALL SAY WE PAVE FOR POSITION FOR THAT. PAID FOR OTHER THINGS LIKE THAT. THE FOUR PICTURE FUND DA CRIMINAL INVESTIGATOR TO ME BE PAID OUT OF THE REVENUE FUND OR ARPA.

LIKE WE TALKED ABOUT A WHILE AGO. THE VETERANS CEMETERY ARE INTERESTED IN NEW POSITIONS.

AS A PAID FOR BY THE STATE. WE CAN INCLUDE THOSE WE FIGURE OUT OUR EXPENSES. BUT THOSE ARE PAID BY THE STATE UP FRONT WAS TO BE PAID UP FRONT. I UNDERSTAND. AND GENERAL FUND.

THE A RPA POSITIONS. THOSE FUNDED BY A ARE PA SUBSTITUTE FOR YOUR STORE FROM HIS POSITIONS ARPA. WHILE I RECOMMEND A FIVE PERCENT INCREASE ACROSS THE BOARD IS ALSO GOING TO RECOMMEND THAT WE DO A SIX PERCENT ARPA FUNDS WE CAN CLASSIFY ALL CONFERENCE THIS WEEKEND. ALL EMPLOYEES ESSENTIAL WORKERS. PROVIDE AN INCENTIVE FOR THAT. OTHER COUNTIES ARE DOING IT. SO, YOU THIS THING WELCOME,. BE WRONG? COMPLETELY OR NOT?. I DON'T KNOW. AND JUST BEING THIS IS BRINGING IT UP TO. THIS IS MY OPINION. IN ECONOMICS, SAID BECAUSE OF THIS TEST IS THINK WE CAN DO. I THINK WE CAN DO IT CAN COVER SOME SOME SUPPORT

IN AND A NEW TAX RATE. >>MAY I ASK DALE REGARDS TO JUSTICE THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF

DISCUSSION IN THERE AND I TOOK A FEW. >>THE FIVE PERCENT COAL ACROSS

THE BOARD AS A PRICE TAG. ONE IS THAT PRIVATE STATIC? >>PUTMAN.

>>FINALLY DOES. >>IF YOU TAKE 1.5 MILLION YOU SAID.

>>HOLD ON I WAS GIVEN 500,000. >>TO PROVIDE THAT TO YOU. >>SAID FIVE PERCENT.

>>CHECKED AGAIN WITH THE DEPARTMENT HUNDRED THOUSAND. >>IT WASN'T ME. SO, BE CLEAR FIVE PERCENT COAL IS 1.5. EVEN IF YOU TOOK OUT ÃÃJUST SO YOU KNOW THE AMPHITHEATER THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO REALLOCATE ÃÃ THAT IS WORTH UNADVERTISED SCHEDULE 100 THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR. THAT IS ALL. SO, YOU DO BY TAKING A THEATER IS TAKEOUT HUNDRED AND $45,000 A YEAR.

TAKE OUT 1.9. OKAY? BECAUSE IT'S AMORTIZED OVER TIME. OKAY? AND BE SUPPORTIVE TO SAY ÃDISCUSSION ON MONDAY. THAT'S WHAT IT MEANS. SO, YOU'RE NOT SAVING 1.9. THE COURT, YOU ÃÃ ALREADY ISSUED CONTRACTOR INSURANCE. 1.5 MILLION CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATION TODAY, WHEN WE SET THE BUDGET, IT DOESN'T DISAPPEAR. AND THEN ON TOP OF THAT ÃÃWE HAVE ADDITIONAL OBLIGATIONS THAT COME FROM POLICIES THAT WE HAVE LIKE CONTINUANCE PAY. JUDGES SELLERS. BARGAINING AGREEMENT. AND ALL ABOUT TOTALS. WITH THE 14 AND THE 15. IT TOTALS ACTUALLY .2 MILLION. NOW, YOU AND YOUR 1.5.7 MILLION. GREAT BRINGS IN MILLION DOLLARS. SO,

EVEN IF EVEN YOU COULD SOMEHOW CREATE MONEY FROM NOWHERE, YOU WOULD HAVE TO REALLY STRUGGLE TO FIGURE OUT SESSION I HAVEN'T EVEN ADDED IN PEOPLE THAT USE IT. YOU SAID. THE ENVIRONMENTAL AND ALL THAT. PROBABLY WITH THE EXTRA TWO PEOPLE. SATA $300,000 PLUS WHAT YOU FAILED TO MENTION THOSE USE SUPPORTIVE TRANSFERS OF THE DA. THAT COST US MONEY.

IT GOES ON TO THE GENERAL FUND. FOR THE PICTURE. [INDISCERNIBLE]

>>THERE STILL A COST TO. THAT'S 117,000. AND THEN THERE ARE STILL OTHER SITUATIONS ÃÃ SEE HERE. ALL THE PREVIOUS POSITIONS FROM LAST YEAR IS 371,000. SO, I GUESS WHAT I'M SAYING IS DALE ÃÃIF YOU DID Ã ÃALMOST AGREE ÃÃIT'S LIKE SAYING IS PARIS. RELATE TO.., EVERYBODY WOULD LIKE THE LOWEST TAXES POSSIBLE IN THE MOST FOUR. I WOULD LOVE TO GET 10 PERCENT ON ARPA AND RAISES ACROSS THE BOARD. WE CAN. BUT IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE

GENERAL FUND IS NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT. >>THE GENERAL FUND. >I'M AGREEING WITH YOU ON THE PROBLEM. I DON'T THINK IT'S AS EASY TO EVERYTHING IS ESSENTIAL. ABOUT LATER. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS THAT IF WE WERE TO GO TO THE NO NEW REVENUE RATE ÃÃWE WOULD BE A DEFICIT OF DALE. COMING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. A

DEFICIT. >>3.5. >>.

>>YES. NOT ASSUMING. >>TRINA. AND SO, RIGHT? AND THAT THESE OBLIGATIONS PLUS, YOU'VE GOT TO DO 1,000,000 1/2:. IT DOESN'T DRIVE. THIS.

>>IS ALSO ONE OF THE GENERAL FUND. WE WOULD ALSO LOSE MONEY FOR OUR SERVICE. >>AND HOW

MUCH WILL BE LOSE THEIR? 700,000 TO APPROXIMATELY 700,000. >>AND ANOTHER 24?

>>NO, HE TAKE MILLION 700,000 4.2 OFF OF THE RESEARCH. PLUS YOU NEED ANOTHER 2 MILLION FOR HEALTH INSURANCE. YOU WOULD BE SO FAR IN THE RED ÃÃQUITE FRANKLY YOUR MOVIES RATING, YOUR S&P RATING ÃIT SHOULD BE DOWNGRADED AS A COUNTY. PERIOD CASH RESERVES YOUR AUDITOR ÃÃ WAS EXPERTLY PRESENT THIS IS SPECIAL REVENUE. WELL, HE DOES. HE TOLD US TO MEET OUR Ã ÃHERE'S THE FUNNY PART. UNLIMITED WE ARE ARGUING. KEEP THE TAXPAYER IN A POSITION WHERE THEY ARE NOT INCREASING. YOU'VE DONE. DONE TODAY. BECAUSE OF THE TIME IS YOU APPROVE WITH US AS WE NEED ÃÃ WANT TO TAKE SALARY RANGES FROM OUR THE ÃÃYOU CAN DO THAT.

AND LOWERED THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT RATE EVER SO SLIGHTLY. SO THAT THE COMBINED RATE IS SLOWER. TAKE -7 MILLION DOLLARS. YOU ARE HURTING THIS COUNTY. AND BY THE WAY, YOU WOULD HAVE TO FIRE PEOPLE BECAUSE THAT IS. SO, I WILL UNDERSTAND WHAT IT IS. HOW CAN ONE SIDE SAY THAT YOU WANT: FOR EVERYONE GENERAL FUND. FROM GENERAL FUND.

>>THAT'S WHAT I WANT. >>WITH YOU ON THAT. I DIDN'T KNOW JUST QUESTION. I WANT COURTHOUSE. ON JOE. ONE ANYTHING! THAT IS NOT POSSIBLE. YOUR AUDITOR IS GIVEN THE REALITIES AND HOW ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH THE 1.4 Ã SYSTEM 5.7 MILLION ÃWE WERE

JUST FOR TWO. >>5 MILLION SO ÃÃ3 MILLION. SO SHORT 2 MILLION OTHER WAY.

>>SAY THAT AGAIN. WHEN YOU SAVE IT FOR MILLION. >>YOU SAID 3 MILLION.

>>NEGATIVE. >>REMAKE 3 MILLION AN HOUR. THEY ALSO WILL BE SURE 5 MILLION. NOW WERE DOWN 3.7 MILLION. WE ARE STILL TO BE SHORT FROM THE OTHER ONE.

>>NO, HE JUST TOLD YOU AND HE PROVIDED INFORMATION. 200,000.

[07:00:03]

>>THIS IS MY RECOMMENDATION JUDGE. >>I JUST ÃÃI'M CONFUSED ÃÃ CHEAP AND I BELIEVE YOU DO TO HELP PEOPLE HERE. I'M CONFUSED AS TO WHY IT IS ÃÃWHAT YOU THINK THIS DISH ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH THE CONTINGENCY LIABILITIES? WHAT IS YOUR

PROPOSAL? >>YOU CAN USE THE CALLOUT AND USE THE USE THAT FOR THE HAZARD

PAY. >>WE AGREE WITH THAT. WE COULD TAKE CARE OF PEOPLE WITH AMERICAN RELIEF PLAN ACT. SOMETHING YOU CAN DO TODAY. BUT IT IS SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN DO. THAT IS NOT ÃÃJUST Ã ÃTHERE ARE. IT'S NOT LIKE YOU CAN JUST SAY ÃÃNEVERMIND. Ã ÃTHE PROBLEM IS THAT YOU CONTINGENCY LIABILITIES OF POINT 2 MILLION. JUST FROM THE GET GO. AND ON THE REVENUE RATE, ONLY THINGS IN 1 MILLION. WILL AGREE WITH YOU. WE WOULD LOOK TO SEE TAXPAYERS ÃÃAND TAXPAYER RATE LOW. BUT, IF YOU KEEP IT THE SAME ÃÃEVERYTHING YOU NEED TO DO ANYTHING BE CATASTROPHICALLY LOST. YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO GET FROM 17 MILLION TO 27 MILLION? WE ALREADY REVEALED THAT YOUR HEALTH INSURANCE IS UPSIDE DOWN BY $4 MILLION. TO REPLENISH THAT. THAT'S THIS CASH RESERVES ARE GOING TO BE

USEFUL. I WOULD WANT TO GO BACK IN TIME? >>YOU WANT TO DO THAT?

>>THE PEOPLE TO MAKE A DECISION. >>TO MAKE SURE THAT THE GET ÃÃ

[INDISCERNIBLE] >>THEY'RE NOT GETTING MORE TAXES.

>>THEY ARE. IF THE GOES UP TOMORROW, THEY'RE GETTING MORE TAXES. IF THE VALUE GOES UP

TO. >>BEFORE GOES UP? >THE VALUE.

>>FOR THE LAST 12 YEARS ÃÃ IT'S COST US HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS BASED UPON INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS INCLUDING WE DID NOT HAVE A GOOD RATING JOB WITH RATINGS S&P, PAYABLE

TO GET SUCH A GOOD RATE. >>HUNDRED MILLION TWO YEARS. THAT'S HER ÃÃBRENT, WE WROTE

120 MILLION. >>THE EFFECTIVE TAX RATE IN 20 MILLION. BY 120 MILLION BECAUSE HE THOUGHT THAT THE READINGS THAT WE NEED TO TAKE ON. AND WITH THE GENERAL FUND

COULD DO. DON'T SAY Ã¦ >>WHY CAN'T THE GENERAL FUND DO IT?

>>THE HUNDRED MILLION JUDGE. THAT IS NOT A CORRECT STATEMENT. THAT IS NOT

CORRECT. >>ASSIST AGREE TO DISAGREE. BECAUSE I CAN AS WE CAN HAVE AN ECONOMIC ÃÃECONOMICS STATEMENT. IT'S GOING TO BE A CATASTROPHIC JUSTICE WILL BE CATASTROPHIC DELTA BE ABLE TO Ã ÃTHESE FOLKS REALLY NEED TO THIS IS A TERRIBLE DECISION ECONOMICALLY. GOOD TO THE AFFECTED BUDGET CHALLENGES OF $4 MILLION.

>>I AGREE. WE KNOW WE HAVE THE 1.5 THAT SERVICE PAYMENT. NEXT YEAR WOULD ONLY BE A COUPLE HUNDRED THOUSAND FROM THAT. WE HAD 5 MILLION FOR HEALTH INSURANCE REASONS FOR THAT AS WELL AS HIS PAY. BINDING AGREEMENT OF THE ADJUSTMENTS THAT YOU DID. IN THE BASEMENT HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS TERM CONTROL OVER, AS WILL BE POINT TO CONSIDER.

>>I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU WANT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND. GIVEN PER SITE PROVIDED A SOLUTION. HOW ARE YOU GONNA MAKE THESE PAYMENTS? I GONNA DO IT BRENT?

>>YOU? CUTS. >>WHAT CUTS. NAME THEM. I RECESS RETINA. BRING US A LIST OF CUTS. ONE OF THE GONNA BE? WHAT CUT TO THE GONNA BE? FROM FOR THE TAXPAYER TO SAY TO MAKE A CUT. WHAT CUTS? FROM VETERAN SERVICES? FROM SOCIAL SERVICES? FROM THE DAS OFFICE? HELL, THEY CAME IN HERE BEGGING YOU FOR DOLLARS. NOW YOU GONNA CUT IT?

>>FROM THE LOBBYIST. THERE ARE THINGS THAT WE COULD. I'M NOT SAME.

>>THIS 315 BRAIN. >>THIS 315 BRAIN. YOUR STATEMENT ABOUT THE END CDC IS

COMPLETELY INACCURATE. IT'S NOT WORTH GOING INTO. >>THAT 600,000 JUDGE. IT WOULD

TAKE THE LOBBYIST AND END CDC. >>WE FUNDED $50,000. 50,000. 50,000.

>>FUNDED $50,000 FROM THE COURT. ROSS CAME FROM THE PORT. AND THEY FUNDED IT BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE IN OASIS COUNTY ECONOMIC DEVELOPER. WHICH PROMOTES ALL THE THINGS THAT .5 WERE MAKING THE TYPE OF RACES THAT WE NEED. IS ONLY ONE WAY TO GET EXTRA VALUE ON AVALON AND THAT IS CALLED GROWTH. AND I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT I SENT ON THE CCR EDC.

AND THE $60 BILLION ÃÃOKAY? IS NOT,. ALL THE BIG PROJECTS HAVE GONE TO STAND PAT. IN THE

BIG EXXON STILL DYNAMICS. >>I'M NOT GOING TO GO WITH YOU.

[07:05:04]

>>WHAT IS YOUR SOLUTION? >>I SAT ON THE BOARD FOR 23 YEARS AND THEY WANT TO STAND PAT BECAUSE WE DID NOT HAVE RAIL SERVICE IN CERTAIN AREAS. AND THEY HAVE MORE AVAILABLE LAND. THEY CAN GONNA STAND PAT BECAUSE THEY WERE TRYING TO HELP US IN THE REGION OF INDOMITABLE CORPORATION. SO HOW YOU CHARACTERIZE THAT'S NEVER BEEN ACCURATE IN MY OPINION. SINCE YOU BRINGING IT UP, SAVE YOU THAT THAT IS NOT TRUE. THE COUNTY. SOME THINGS

DID NOT COME THE WAY THAT THEY WANTED. >>I KNOW HOW HARD THEY WORK FOR

THE ABATEMENT. >>WE DO TOO. >>WHAT DID YOU SAY?

>>NEIGHBORING COUNTY. WE BENEFIT BECAUSE THE COMMISSION APPEAR? TO BUY HOMES HERE.

>>NOBODIES DISAGREEING. THESE THIS AGREEMENT THAT. THE IDEA HERE IS THAT NUECES COUNTY NEEDS AD VALOREM ON OUR SIDE. THAT IS GROWTH ON OUR SIDE. THAT'S NOT FROM ISRAEL. IT'S NOT FROM INDUSTRIAL THAT WE NEED. FROM OTHER AREAS. IN THE END CDC WAS CREATED. SO, IF YOU ARE SAYING TAKE THAT AWAY WE FUNDED $50,000. USING TO TAKE WITH 50,000 THAT WOULD BE ONE CUP. STILL FIVE MORE MILLION TO GO. HEY GONNA GET THERE? WHAT ARE YOUR CUTS? YOU CANNOT PRODUCE A BUDGET WITHOUT TELLING THE PEOPLE WHAT YOU GONNA CUT. YOU DON'T GET TO JUST SAY I'M GONNA TAKE TAXES DOWNLOAD. AND NOT TELL THE PEOPLE WHAT YOU GONNA CUT.

THAT IS DISINGENUOUS. SO WHAT IS IT? WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO CUT?

>>YOU HAVE SEVERAL IDEAS. >>HE ADDED MONEY TO HIM SAID HE WANTS CUT HER FIVE PERCENT TRIP

TO MILITANT HAVE MORE DOLLARS. >>ME TAKE THAT BACK INTO THE COULD COME ÃÃTHAT'S RIGHT

JUDGE. HE SAID Ã¦ >>YOU'RE TAKING THE CALL OFF THE TABLE. TAKING THE CALL OFF

THE TABLE? >>IF WE HAVE TO,. TERRY GONNA PAY FOR EVERYTHING US?

>>I DON'T KNOW. >>ETERNAL. SHE WILL NOT PASS A BUDGET UNTIL THE PEOPLE THAT

YOU DON'T KNOW. >>OPEN BOOK. TO BE WORKING TOGETHER. I'M HOPING.

>>IT DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY. A BALANCED BUDGET IS TELLING THE PEOPLE WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO

CUT. >>YOU GOT MY VOTE. FOUR. GO TO THE NEXT RIGHT?

>>AND CALLED THE VOTE BECAUSE OF THE GONNA GO TO THE BECAUSE YOU HAVE NOT PROVIDED ANY INFORMATION TO THE PEOPLE ON HOW YOU'RE GOING TO CREATE THIS BUDGET.

>>ÃÃWE'RE NOT. I HAVEN'T EVEN HEARD FROM THE OTHER COMMISSIONERS YET.

>>THAT'S WHEN ASKED YOU TO DO. >>THE TOMAS NEED TO DO. >>IT'S JUST LIKE A GONG SHOW

AROUND HERE. COMMISSIONER MODEST Ã¦ >>I'M WILLING TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE RECOMMENDATION SAID THAT DALE MADE. I WANT HIM AT THE REST OF THE COURT HAS TO SAY ANY SUGGESTIONS ÃÃTHAT ARE OUT THERE TO LOOK INTO. IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER CUTS.

LISTEN TO IT, BUT I DO THINK THAT DALE HAS SPOKEN FROM EXPERIENCE. BECAUSE WE HAVE DEALT WITH THAT WITHIN THE LAST FEW YEARS. AS FAR AS PUTTING TOGETHER VERY LEAN BUDGET.

AVING TO MAKE UP FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR TO THE NEXT YEAR. SO, THAT'S COUNTERPRODUCTIVE AND I THINK THAT'S NOT BEING EFFICIENT. AND I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT HE CLEARLY DEFINED WHAT IT IS THAT WE DECIDE. WHAT ARE VOTE MEANS. BECAUSE, AFTER THE FACT, WE ARE NOT ÃÃWE ARE STILL UNCERTAIN WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED. SO, I'M JUST ASKING THAT DALE CLEARLY EXPLAINED TO US SO MUCH MONEY CAN BE TAKEN FROM EMPLOYEES. AND THE ISSUES.

THAT WE CAN CLEARLY IDENTIFY THAT. THAT'S IMPORTANT. THAT WE OF COURSE UNDERSTAND WITH OUR THIS IS WHAT ARE VOTE MEANS IN THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS. I'M TO SUPPORT TOGETHER BY DALE.

>>COMMISSIONER [INDISCERNIBLE] X WELL, I'M WONDERING WE STOP DOING THAT WORK AND PEOPLE GENERAL? WE STOP PAYING 60,000 DOLLARS?

>>I THINK SHE'S CAN ASK YOU TO USE YOUR MIGHT. >>SORRY, I APOLOGIZE. IF WE STOP PAYING PEOPLE ABOUT 220,000 WHICH WAS DONE THROUGH CHANGE ORDER STAGE. 260,000 Ã DEVELOPMENT, THE GENERAL FUND? PAID WE HAVE NOT BEEN AWARE OF. I'M JUST AFRAID THAT IF ÃÃMY

[07:10:05]

PROBLEM IS GOOD FOR OUR EMPLOYEES. CITIZENS ARE SUFFERING. COUNTY EMPLOYEES ARE SUFFERING. OKAY? I HAVE NOT HAD A DECENT REASON LONG TIME. WHATEVER THEY'VE GOTTEN, THIS IS CATCHING ON. MAKE SURE THAT I WAS JUST AS I WAS CONTEMPLATING [INDISCERNIBLE] THE SETTING THAT WE OVERSPENT MISSPENT MONEY. WHEN IT WAS OKAY? THERE'S A DOG PARK THAT I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD BE BUILDING. FOR THE MONEY IS GOING TO. HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS. SO, THAT'S MY CONCERN. I DO THIS THROUGH $0.7 MILLION THE MONEY TO BE SPENT TRULY CAN BE PEOPLE? COUNTY EMPLOYEES? IF YOU DO

THIS. >>IF YOU DO THESE TAX RATE, THOSE POSITIONS WE HEARD FROM DALE, THE RECLASSIFICATION FOR THE PEOPLE THAT DALE ARTICULATED WILL BE RE-CREATED.

YOU CAN USE THIS COURT CAN USE OUR FUNDS, WHATEVER THE COURT WANTS TO DO. RIGHT? IF IT'S AS FIVE PERCENT, SIX PERCENT, 10 PERCENT THAT IS SOMETHING WE CAN DO IF WE ACTUALLY MADE THAT CALCULATION ÃÃYOU WILL REMEMBER DURING WORKSHOP, IT WILL BE ABOUT DEXTER'S MILLION DOLLARS PAY GRADES 27 AND UP. AND THAT IT'S DIFFERENT FOR THE ONES THAT ARE BELOW.

>>IS THE PEOPLE I'M WORRIED ABOUT. THE PEOPLE DOWN THERE. >>AND THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY.

THAT'S WHY I SAID I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE THE X TO CLOSE. THAT IS SOMETHING THAT I THINK NEEDS TO HAPPEN AND YOUR DELL SAY THAT $10,000. BUT, WE RUN $200 MILLION IN FISCAL TABULATION HERE. HUNDRED MILLION OF WHICH COME FROM AD VALOREM. OKAY? AND SO, WHEN ÃÃHOW TO EXPLAIN IT EXCEPT TO SAY YOU HAVE TO KNOW HOW TO MAKE GOOD DECISIONS WHICH MONEY? SO, LET'S TAKE QUESTIONS. SPECIFIC. THINGS THAT YOU BRING UP ÃÃYOU GET TO MAKE THOSE CHANGES. TO MAKE THOSE CHOICES. EACH AND EVERY COMMISSIONERS COURT. SOME OF THE THINGS YOU DON'T LIKE WERE MADE BEFORE YOU GOT HERE. AND THEN WERE CONTRACTUALLY OBLIGATED TO FULFILL THEM.

MIGHT NOT LIKE IT TEST AFTER BREAKING THE CONTRACT WILL COST THE COUNTY MORE MONEY. BUT, DOESN'T CHANGE THE FACT THAT TO BE A PART OF THE COURT DECIDES HOW TO USE THAT MONEY WISELY.

BUT, YOU GIVE THE PEOPLE DALE HAS QUITE FRANKLY PAINSTAKINGLY DONE BY TALKING EACH OF US ÃÃ HIS BUDGET REFLECTS THE COMMENTS OF THE DEPARTMENT HEADS AND WHAT YOU'VE SAID IS IMPORTANT. THE ONLY THING THAT I HEARD DIFFERENT TWO THINGS. I HEARD YOU SAY AND HVAC PERSON

AND A PUBLIC WAS THE OTHER ONE? >>. MORE ENVIRONMENTAL. DO

YOU HAVE ANOTHER ONE?? >>AND NOT ON THERE. >>RIGHT, THE ONLY THING I'VE HEARD ON THE THAT'S DIFFERENT IS 2+ THE TEST IS THE 11TH TO 12TH. WHEN I SEE THAT I KNOW THAT THERE IS A WAY TO GET WHAT WE NEED. BE ABLE TO SAY THE HOME ÃÃIT'S A ZERO TREES.

AND THEN I KNEW THAT THIS COURT HAS A WILL, BECAUSE I COUNTED THREE VOTES TO DO OUR TO TAKE

CARE OF THE PEOPLE YOU SAY YOU ARE WORRIED ABOUT THE MOST. WE HAVE THAT ABILITY. >>AGREE

JUDGE. BUT, WITH AMERICAN ACT. >>IT'S HERE.

>>ARE NOT. >>THE MONEY IS IN THE BAG. WE HAVE IT.

>>IT'S NOT A HEARING. IT'S HERE. DALE, IS THE MONEY HERE? IS IN OUR BANK ACCOUNT? YOU CAN MAKE A MOTION ON MONDAY IF YOU WANT TO. MAKING ADDED TO THE AGENDA. WE CAN TAKE CARE OF PEOPLE. I WILL SECOND THAT MOTION. BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT WE HAVE BEEN WANTING TO DO AND IT'S GOT TO BE THAT THERE IS A TIMING ISSUE TWO. BUT IT'S NOT HERE. IT'S HERE. THE MONEY

CAME. >>ASKED FOR SIX PERCENT. >>WONDERFUL. I'LL MAKE A 10.

ASK THE EVEN TO THAT. >>LISTEN. >>BUT THE ONE THING, RIGHT?

>>NICE WORD ABOUT IT. >>MONICA 20? BECAUSE ULTIMATE PROTECTION WHAT I KNOW? I WORK WITH THESE PEOPLE WERE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. I GET PAID MINIMAL. BUT BEFORE YOU GOT

[07:15:03]

HERE, WE TOOK 700 PEOPLE OUT OF POVERTY. THIS COURT, WHEN YOU'RE NOT HERE. THIS VERY COURT. AND VOTED FIVE. BUT 700 PEOPLE OUT OF THE POVERTY LEVEL INTO A DIFFERENT LEVEL.

SO, YOU HAD BETTER BELIEVE THAT YOU CAN DO. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE NUMBERS MEAN SOMETHING HERE. WE GO BACK AGAINST THIS TAX RATE, THE DELL IS PROPOSED ÃÃYOU WILL BE HURTING PEOPLE.

MAKE NO MISTAKE, IT WILL BE HURTING INDIVIDUAL TEST TEST WILL BE FIRING PEOPLE AND YOU WILL BE MAKING CERTAIN THAT WE CANNOT PROVIDE FOR THE SERVICES THAT WE HAVE CONTEMPLATED HOW I KNEW THAT IS THAT THE CONTINGENCIES THAT WE HAVE ÃÃ THEY ARE NOT PRINCES. THERE ONCE GIVEN TO US BY DESTINY. BY THE CONTINUANCE PAY. BY THE CONTINUING BARGAINING. COME

FROM SOMEWHERE. >>JUDGE, MY IDEA IS THAT IF I GO SOMEWHERE ZERO 2.9 ÃÃIS TO MAKE SURE WE MISS SPENT IN EULESS WE GOT, WE GET UTILIZED.

>>IN A COMMISSIONER, CORPORATE I AGREE WITH THE DECISION PROCESS WE HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO MAKE IT THE RIGHT WAY. THERE IS GOING TO BE TIMES WHERE AGAIN THE PROJECT THAT HAPPENED BEFORE YOU THINK IT WAS USED IN THE RIGHT WAY, BUT I PROMISE YOU, THIS COURT IT'S

A CHOICE EVERY TIME. RIGHT? >>I UNDERSTAND JUDGE. THERE BEEN TIMES AND THERE IS TIMES

WHERE CONTRACTORS ARE DOING THAT. >>IN THE CONTRACT SINCE THEY

CAN BE TERMINATED AND KEEP PUSHING BACK ON THAT. >>THE PROBLEM IS YOU'VE LISTED TWO THINGS. ONE, WE SAID WE SPENT MONEY ON WATER DURING WINTER STORM AND WE DID NOT HAVE WATER THAT IS WINTER STORM YURI AND IT DOES NOT COME FROM OUR GENERAL FUND. OKAY? AND WE GET REIMBURSEMENT FOR. I MENTIONED EARLIER ABOUT THE DISASTER RECOVERY SPECIALIST I MONITOR FOR DIFFERENT DISASTERS. I HAVE TWO OFFICES. I KNOW YOU KNOW THIS. ONE OFFICES COUNTY JUDGE. THE OTHER IS EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT. EVERYDAY IN OUR OFFICE, WITH VERY LITTLE HELP ÃÃWE MANAGE FOR DECLARED DISASTERS THAT HAVE ALL DIFFERENT FUNDS.

OKAY? ACTUALLY, SOMETIMES EVEN IN COVID WE HAVE MULTIPLE FUNDS. BECAUSE SOMETIMES DISCOVERED VACCINES IN COVID TESTING. SO, THE PROBLEM IS AND UNDERSTAND THIS. BECAUSE WHEN YOU FIRST GET HERE, YOU THINK ALL THE MONEY IS UNDER ONE RAINBOW POT. IT DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY. THERE ARE SO MANY DIFFERENT AREAS FOR EXAMPLE ÃÃI DIDN'T EVEN THINK IT WAS INTERESTING THAT TEMPORARIES AREN'T EVEN PUT IN TO THIS BUDGET BECAUSE THEY COME FROM A SEPARATE BUDGET. 20 WAS THAT YOU CANNOT MIX THE APPLES AND ORANGES. THE GENERAL FUND IS NOT ÃÃIT HAS THE NEED ÃÃWHAT IS IT? WE $0.7 MILLION WORTH OF STUFF.

THAT WERE OBLIGATED FOR. AND IF YOU VOTE FOR THIS TAX RATE, ONE AT THE SAME AS OUR EXPERT, BECAUSE HE GETS IT. HE UNDERSTANDS EVERYTHING. IF YOU VOTE FOR THAT ÃÃTHEN YOU CAN EFFECTIVELY DO EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT TO DO, WHICH IS TO BUDGET THIS NEXT YEAR WISELY. YOU GET TO MAKE A DECISION. EACH AND EVERY TIME WE HAVE THE MEETING AND AN AGENDA. WHAT WE WANT TO

SPEND ON. >>DALE, IF I WAS TO GO WITH THIS 2.9 ÃÃSTILL ÃÃDOES IT

HURT ANY EMPLOYEES ABOUT? >>1 >>NO NEW REVENUE.

>>WE SAW THAT WE REDUCE OUR RESEARCH AND USER EXPENSES AND IT'S UP TO THE COURT HOW YOU WOULD HANDLE WAS. ANOTHER PLACE TO DO MASSIVE CUTS IS A REDUCTION IN FORCE.

>>PEOPLE Ã¦ >>I SHOULD YOU ON THE PROJECTION, OUR TOTAL BUDGET IS

$76 MILLION IN SALARY. >>ITS PEOPLE. >>CAN BE THE ONLY THING DALE.

>>IT'S THE BIGGEST PIECE. IT'S THE BIGGEST PIECE. >>THE CANOPY THE ONLY THING.

DO THE THINGS WITH YOU. >>YOU CANNOT JUST SAY IT'S THE ONLY THING.

>>I'M SAYING IT'S THE LARGEST THING AND THEN THE OTHER STUFF ÃÃTHE OFFICE SUPPLIES OR YOUR INSURANCE OR JUST WE CAN POSSIBLY SAY WE'RE NOT GONNA TRY TO BILLINGS. HAS TO ME ÃÃ

SURE THE BUILDINGS. >>ENSURE THE BUILDINGS. >>NOT SURE THE BUILDINGS. I MEAN ÃÃYOU KNOW, YOUR QUESTION IS YES. IT WOULD HURT PEOPLE. CUT FORCE. BECAUSE THAT'S THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE $5 MILLION IN THE HOLE. MY OTHER CONCERN IS SINCE HAVE BEEN HERE AND I'VE ONLY BEEN HERE NINE MONTHS. I'VE SEEN ÃÃYOU ARE RIGHT. THE ADDED BEFORE I GOT

[07:20:04]

HERE. THERE BEEN OTHER DEPARTMENT HEADS THAT HAVE BEEN ADDED ON THAT WE NEVER HAD

BEFORE. >>WHICH ONES? >>WITH THE FIRE MARSHAL MAYBE?

>>THE FIRE MARSHAL CAME ABOUT BECAUSE YOUR CONSTITUENTS DEMANDED SAFETY IN THEIR RESIDENCE NEIGHBORHOOD ADMIN MANY URBAN COUNTIES HAD A FIRE MARSHAL. AGAIN, THAT WAS A DECISION THE COURT MADE. YOU ARE GOING BACKWARDS BEEN MADE THAT INVESTMENT.

>>WE KEEP ADDING ÃÃTO MAKE PEOPLE SAY. >>THIS IS WHY MAKE OFFICES BIGGER WITH EMPLOYEES. THAT COST THE COUNTY TO LOOK FOR RENTAL PROPERTY OUTSIDE.

BECAUSE THEY FIT IN THE COUNTY. COURTHOUSE ANYMORE. BECAUSE WE CANNOT ÃÃTO SEE YOU KNOW THE FIRE MARSHALS INSIDE THE OFFICE. HE DOESN'T HAVE TO GOING THE REASON HE WAS HERE BEFORE YOU GOT THERE BE IN YOUR OFFICE THEY EVEN WANT TO BE THERE. IS THAT HE WAS GIVEN THAT'S JUST BEFORE YOU ARRIVE, WE HIRED HIM. WE HAD HIM. WHEN YOU CAME IN AND DIDN'T WANT TO BE THERE, HE BROUGHT HIM OVER HERE. AND HE'S VERY HAPPY ON THE FIFTH FLOOR.

>>HE CREATED ÃTHIS WE TOOK THE JURY ROOM. A LAWYER'S CONFERENCE ROOM. AND MADE HIS

PRICK TO ACCOMMODATE HIM. AS YOU THAT WE WANT TO. >>THAT'S FINE.

>>. >>THAT ONE OF OUR MARSHAL. >>COMES WITH BEING HERE AND WE

NEVER HAPPENED. YOU'RE RIGHT. >>LOOK AT THE AMOUNT. >>I'M STILL UPSET RIGHT NOW WITH THE WAY THAT YOU'RE TRYING TO CHANGE PEOPLE'S MINDS. THEY SHOULD VOTE. WHAT THEY CAN DO.

>>HEY. >>WERE ALL PLAYING WITH THE EMPLOYEES LIVES.

>>THAT'S WHEN TRYING TO DEFEND. THE EMPLOYEES LIFE. I WOULD LIKE TO DO AND ALL CALL RIGHT NOW. I AM ABSOLUTELY TRYING TO CHANGE YOUR MIND. COMMISSIONER HERNANDEZ. YOU ABSOLUTELY ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. YOU ARE PLAYING WITH PEOPLE'S LIVES AND IT FRIGHTENS ME. BECAUSE THE AUDITOR IS AN EXPERT. HE IS AN EXPERT. HE HAS GONE THROUGH THIS BACKWARDS AND FORWARDS.

BUT IT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE ALL THE THINGS THAT WE REALLY NEED IN THIS COMMUNITY. BEING WHAT? HE HAS FOUND A WAY TO DO EXACTLY THE RACE THE TAX RATE AND INSTEAD OF SAYING THANK YOU ÃÃWE ARE GOING TO DO THE UNTHINKABLE. TO MAKE THIS CASH RESERVES, WHICH TOOK YEARS TO BUILD? AND BY THE WAY, THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS IN 2017 AFTER HURRICANE HARVEY.

JUDGE NEIL DID NOT HAVE THE CASH RESERVES THAT HE NEEDED TO DEAL WITH A CATASTROPHIC EVENT.

AND YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED? THEY HAD TO RAISE TAXES. SO, THE WAY TO KEEP TAX RATES LOW IS TO KEEP IT THE SAME. AND WHEN GROWTH HAPPENS AND GOD WILLING WE WILL HAVE A FULL RECOVERY AND THERE WILL BE GROWTH. BUT WE DID NOT HAVE IT THIS YEAR COMMISSIONER. WE DID NOT. WE NEED TO.311. THAT MEANS ZERO ACCESS. IT'S ZERO ABOVE THE TEXT THAT WE HAVE

NOW. IT'S THE SAME. >>CAN ASK THE SAME QUESTION FOR DALE?

>>, SHOULD WE CURRENTLY HAVE IN RESERVE? >>RIGHT NOW, DO THE ESTIMATES

IS 27 MILLION. IN OUR GENERAL FUND BUDGET IS HUNDRED AND 20. >>HUNDRED AND 20? GENERAL

FUND? >>GENERAL FUND. >>GF.

>>ABSOLUTELY. >WE GET EVERYTHING TOGETHER. >>THAT DOESN'T AT PRESENT ADDRESS. YOU'VE BEEN SAYING THAT WITH THE MONEY 25 PERCENT?

>>REVENUE. >>OF YOUR OPERATING REVENUE. PUT YOUR REVENUES ARE 25

PERCENT. >>SORRY. MY BAD. WHAT IS THE OPERATING REVENUE? THAT'S WHAT

I MEANT TO ASK. MY BAD. >>THAT INVOLVED ABOUT 2 MILLION FOR THIS. HUNDRED AND FIVE AND HUNDRED 6 MILLION. OUR BUDGET FOR YOUR ESTIMATED ACTUAL. TARGETED IS ABOUT 25

MILLION. >>106 MILLION IS OUR OPERATING REVENUE. OKAY. AND IF I MULTIPLY THAT BY 25 PERCENT Ã THIS SHOULD BE ABOUT 25 MILLION.

>>$25 MILLION. >>RIGHT NOW JUST ASKING A QUESTION TO GET OUT THERE.

TALK ABOUT RESERVES. RIGHT NOW, WE ARE ABOUT $2 MILLION OVER AND RESERVES. WHAT PART OUR TARGET IS ÃÃMY STAFF AND I PERFORMED THIS WHICH WE ARE PRETTY GOOD. WE WILL BE THE 27TH. MIGHT BE A SMALL AMOUNT. WHAT I FORESEE WILL BE THE 25.. NOR DOES THE NEED FOR MORE

[07:25:07]

RESERVES. BECAUSE WE WOULD BE AT THAT 25 PERCENT THRESHOLD DIDN'T GO. IN OTHER WORDS, IF WE STAYED FLAT ÃÃSTORING A SCENARIO. IF WE STAYED FLAT Ã ÃWE WOULD STILL BE ÃÃAND IF THE COURT DECIDED ÃÃI'M NOT SAYING IT'S A GOOD IDEA OR BAD IDEA. IF THE COURT DECIDED TO USE THIS RESERVES, WE WOULD STILL BE AT ABOUT 23 OR 24 PERCENT OF OUR RESERVES.

SOMEBODY WANTED TO USE THIS. AGAIN, NOTHING. JUST TALKING ABOUT GENERAL FORM.

>>GO TO THE TAX BREAK, THE REMNANTS ÃÃ1 MILLION INCREASE AND YOU ADD THAT TO YOUR

TRANSFERS AROUND 25 OR 25 6 MILLION TARGET ÃÃCORRECT. >>IS TRUE ÃÃJUST SO YOU KNOW.

DO THAT. $4 MILLION, BECAUSE OF TOO BAD COVID WERE GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE DOLLARS AT LEAST.

COMING FROM HIS ARMS GENERAL FUND. ASK BECAUSE ÃÃTO NOT BE ABLE TO REPLENISH THE HEALTH

INSURANCE. NEGATIVE RIGHT NOW. WE'RE STILL ON HOLD. >>WERE ONE POINT $5 MILLION NEGATIVE. I'M ASSUMING THAT THINK I COMMITTED TO WHERE WE ARE ÃÃWITHOUT NOW. WE DO THE 27 MILLION ESPECIALLY TO MILLION OF THAT TO SHORTAGE AND THEIR INSURANCE. SO YOU 25

MILLION-DOLLAR RANGE FOR YOUR TARGET LEVEL. >>YOU NEED TO TELL ME, TRY TO BE MEAN NOTHING, BUT TOM ASKED ME NOT SURE. WE'VE 27. ÃÃÃ Ã4 MILLION.

>>HEY, JUST SO YOU KNOW. >>LET'S GET STARTED AGAIN. BECAUSE IT'S IMPORTANT. THE $1.4 MILLION HIM ÃÃLET'S CALL IT A BUDGET LIABILITY. WE APPROVE THAT A COUPLE WEEKS AGO. OKAY? THAT IS DIFFERENT. THAT IS FOR THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR. THAT IS TO RUN BASICALLY OUR REVENUES DO NOT CUT IT IN THE COVID WORLD. OKAY? AND REALLY JUST DOESN'T CUT IT NEVER. WE HAVE NOT DONE A PREMIUM INCREASE IN FOREVER ON OURSELVES. WE JUST KEEP LOANING OURSELVES MONEY. SO, WE HAVE LOANED OURSELVES TWICE NOW. A TOTAL OF WHAT DALE?

>MORE THAN TWICE. >>JAKE AND PETER DID BEFORE YOU.

>>RIGHT. IT'S ACTUALLY GOOD POINT. THE POINT IS. >>1.7 MILLION.

>>1.7 MILLION. >>AND WE HAVE LOST COVID THAT WE COULD TRY TO CLAIM. IT'S LIKELY TO BE EASY AND WE SHOULD NOT COUNT ON IT. 1.6 MILLION. OKAY? THAT WE ARE STILL MOVING THROUGH. THIS VIRUS IS OUT OF IT. I WISH IT WAS LIKE STOPPING POINT. I'M SAYING TO YOU IS THAT YOU CAN COUNT ON AT LEAST COUNT ON AT LEAST $2 MILLION RESERVES NEEDED TO BE

TRANSFERRED. >>1.4 THAT WE HAVE IN OUR PREMIUM IS 34. OKAY?

>>TWO INCLUDES THE PREMIUM HE SANG. HE SAID THAT'S 1.2 THIS YEAR. THOUSAND TWO FOR THIS

YEAR. >>TWO FOR NEXT YEAR. WE'VE ADDED AN ADDITIONAL 1.3 MILLION TO OUR PREMIUM COST. WORKING WITH THOMAS. THAT WILL BE A NET ZERO EFFECT ON THE CASE IN

CASE WE HAVE SOME CATASTROPHIC INJURIES. >>SO, HE SAID TO THIS YEAR AND

[07:30:03]

NEXT YEAR ÃTHAT'S POSSIBLE. YES. >>NOT TO +1.3, BUT THIS YEAR.

TWO NEXT YEAR, NOT FOR THIS YEAR. 3.3 THIS YEAR. TO THIS YEAR AND TO NEXT YEAR, WHAT OUR

EXPERT AUDITOR SAYS. >>WANT TO GO BACK TO THAT. >>WANT TO GO BACK TO THAT.

>>INCREASE THAT WE PUT FORTH BUT OFFSET SOME OF THEM ALSO. IT.

>>I WISH IT WAS THAT EASY. I WANTED TO BE THAT EASY. >>WE CAN'T SAY THAT IN THE PEOPLE ARE GONNA SAY HOW ARE WE FORMING IT AT ALL? IN OUR AUDITOR SAY 2 MILLION IN THE HOLE. WHICH IS BAD. WE DEALT WITH THAT FOR NEXT YEAR. BY INCREASING OUR PREMIUMS.

>>DALE, THE PREMIUMS HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE WE ARE IN THE HOLE. IT'S DIFFERENT.

>>COVERING NEXT YEAR'S COST. >>IN THE WHOLE NOT BRENT. I NEED ONE.4. THAT'S BASICALLY

WHAT WE JUST VOTED ON. IT IS THE CUMULATIVE. I'D STUCK. >>NOW HAVE TO RECOMMEND BECAUSE IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A BUDGET ITEM CAN AND FROM THERE WENT ON A LIGHT COVER THE COST.

>>THE INSURANCE? IS THE WAY WE SPEND OUR MONEY POINT REALLY JUST INSURANCE?

>>CLAIMS. >>IF WE SPEND OUR MONEY WHEN THEY CAN MAKE ARRANGEMENTS.

>>IT'S CLAIMS FOR HEALTH INSURANCE. WHEN PEOPLE AT A HOSPITAL CONNECTICUT HAS A PREMATURE BABY BECAUSE TO DEPEND ON WHAT HOSPITAL THEY COULD TO CONNECT CAUSES $1

MILLION. >>THAT'S BECAUSE IT'S MORE EXPENSIVE TO GO OUT ON THE MARKET. IT'S CHEAPER BECAUSE SOMETHING SHE CANNOT BELIEVE IT OR NOT.

>>SOMETIMES YOU GET HIT HARD. >>SOMETIMES YOU GET HIT HARD AND WE HAVE GOTTEN HARD MULTIPLE FISCAL CYCLES WE OFTEN NOT EVER. AND ANYBODY. WE KEEP FINDING, FUNDING, FUNDING .50 EVERYTHING CAN HEY, LISTEN, WE CAN DO THAT ANYMORE BECAUSE WE LIKE OUR RESERVES. WE HAD RESERVES. SEE, EACH OF THESE TIMES IS BUILT TO ACTUALLY I'M SENT WITH THE SAFETY NET. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU PUT YOUR SAFETY NET AWAY? THIS IS LIKENING COMMISSIONER HERNANDEZ CONNECTICUT INTO THE 90 RAVINIA IS NOT FEASIBLE? BECAUSE YOU LOSE YOUR SAFETY NET? BECAUSE WHAT WE NOW IS THAT THIS COUNTY IS NOT GOOD WHEN IT HOVERS BELOW 25 PERCENT. AND CAN CONNECT THE RECENT STACY WERE TALKING ABOUT INDIVIDUALIZED CONTRACTS AND DECISION-MAKING.

WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO DO IS SHOWCASE THAT IF YOU WANT THIS COUNTY TO FUNCTION WELL, IT'S GOT TO HAVE REVENUES THAT ARE COMMENSURATE WITH ANY WE HAVE POINT I NEED TO BE ANOTHER TYPICAL IN YOUR TAIL, OKAY? YOU'RE JAMMING OUT OF THAT 100 PERCENT POPULATION. RIGHT NOW, WE ARE SENDING PEOPLE OUT OF COUNTY, OKAY? AND THAT IS ACCUMULATING NOW WE HAVE NEW F TO BE FIXED, AND WHY PEOPLE STAY IN JAIL AND DON'T COME OUT. THAT FACTOR BECAUSE THAT BEEN THERE. THEY ARE 60 VACANCIES, 60 VACANCIES RIGHT NOW THROUGHOUT THE SHERIFF THE PROCESS. AND THE PROBLEM IS IS THAT YOU ARE RIGHT, WE DON'T PAY ANYBODY ENOUGH. WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT YEAR BUT COLLECTIVE BARGAINING CONNECT EVERY PENNY GOT TO KNOW NEW REVENUE RATE, YOU'RE HURTING THIS COUNTY? BECAUSE IN TODAY'S MODERN TIMES WITH THE UNFUNDED MANDATES, THERE IS NO WAY TO CATCH UP. YOU ARE ALWAYS BEHIND THE EIGHT BALL.

>>THAT'S NOT TRUE IF THERE IS GROWTH. >>EXPERIENCE BOTH.

>>AND ITS WAS AN UNUSUAL YEAR. I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT. >>THAT'S RIGHT.

>>. MAKE A BLANKET STATEMENT TO SAY EVERY TIME YOU GET TO THE EFFECTIVE TAX RATE CAN IT'S GOING TO HURT? THAT'S NOT CORRECT WHEN EVERYTHING ON MCCARTHY HERE, LIKE THERE WAS THIS YEAR. LAST YEAR, WE HAD 19? THREE $90 ANY MONEY LEFT BUDGET ÃÃTHAT'S A LOT WE DID

NOT GET AS MUCH THIS YEAR. >>WE LOST BY OVER A BILLION. >>TAKES IT TOUGHER. THE ONLY QUESTION IS I KNOW WE CAN'T USE OUR PLANNING FOR EVERYTHING I CAN YOU NOT USE THE MONEY FOR LAST PREMIUMS THAT WE ARE HAVING TO USE DISTANCE PREMIUMS, LEFT INSURANCE COSTS

THAT WE ARE HAVING TO USE RESERVES FOR? >>A LOT OF SCENARIOS THAT THAT THE TREASURY IS GIVING AS PART DOES NOT ALLOW US TO DO, COST AND EXPENSE LIES. THE INTERNET AND SETTLED IN PHILLY SINCE OUR LAST REVENUE .3 AND HALF MILLION DOLLARS BY PRACTICING EVERY YEAR POINT WE HAVE TO DO EVERY CALCULATION. WE GOT THAT OVER TO ME REVIEW. HOWEVER, FUNDS CAN ONLY BE USED FOR CERTAIN FUNDS? CANNOT BE USED FOR RESERVES. THEY CAN ONLY BE USED FOR THIS TEST WE ARE TRYING TO DO THIS. WE HAVE BEEN FIGHTING THIS. I NOW CANNOT THAT HAS BEEN TRYING TO HELP US FIGHT EQUIPMENT EXPENSES AND OUR HEALTH

INSURANCE AND EVERYONE WE TALKED TO AT THE GROUND LEVEL IS SAYING WE CAN'T.

>>WE CAN'T USE RESERVES CAN I GET. YOU ANYTHING THEY CAN USE THE LAST PREMIUMS TO TO COVID?

>>WE HAVE THAT RFI AND POINT WE ARE TRYING. TO SAY NO, THERE IS ONLY SO MUCH LAST REVENUE

THAT CAN BE USED FOR GOVERNMENT SERVICES. >>THAT'S A SIGNIFICANT ONE.

>>THAT IS. TRUST ME, WE WERE, LITERALLY EVERY DAY. WHEN SANDY AND LET ME CUT BACK ON THE RECORD. IF THERE IS A WAY TO MAKE EVERYTHING GO WELL, OKAY, GIVEN THAT WE PAY SUPER HIGH PROPERTY TAXES, I WOULD BE ALL FOR IT. THAT IS THAT WHOLE THING AND EVERYBODY WENT BACK.

WHAT WE CAN OFFER THIS YEAR WHEN WE LEFT $1 BILLION IN AD VALOREM, YOU CAN TAKE CARE OF YOUR PEOPLE, YOU CAN GET EVERY CLASSES IN THE THINKING OF OTHER THINGS THAT WE SAID WE CAN DO AND WE CAN STILL BY THE WAY BY THE HERE OF EVERY CHANCE SURVIVES BECAUSE WE GOT LUCKY THAT WE'VE GOT CONGRESS GET THIS AMERICAN RELIEF PLANE. BUT IT DOES NOT SOLVE YOUR PROBLEMS. HOW ARE YOU REALLY GOING TO GET SALARY INCREASES NEXT YEAR? NEVER, WHAT IS THE 90 RAVINIA RATE? WHAT IS BY DEFINITION? IT SAYS THAT GREAT WHICH IS THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT YOU ARE BRINGING FROM LAST YEAR, OKAY? WITHOUT CREDIT, WITHOUT FACTORING IN THE NEW GROWTH. THIS YEAR CONTINUED GROWTH IS NOMINAL, NOTHING CAN SIX, 760 GRANT. SO WHAT HAPPENS IS NEXT YEAR, YOUR THREE AND HALF PERCENT WORKS OUT THAT NUMBER. SO FORGIVE ME, BUT THE MATH CAN IT DOES NOT ADD UP. YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO DO GOOD WORK FOR COLLECTIVE BARGAINING NEXT YEAR, BECAUSE YOU ARE 3 AND A HALF PERCENT IS ALWAYS. NOW CAN YOU CAN USE WHAT'S CALLED UNUSED INCREMENT OKAY CAN ACTUALLY WILL HAVE UNUSED INCREMENT THIS YEAR AGAIN. WE TRIED THAT. REMEMBER EARLIER ON WHEN WE SAID, HEY, LET'S USE SARAH UNUSED INCREMENT AND GIVE THE DAS, ALL THE SALARY INCREASES THEY WANTED, WE COULD HAVE DONE THAT. THIS COURT SAID NOW CAN USE THAT NOW. NOW WE HAVE A WAY TO ALLOW ERIC AND A LOWER THAN EVEN THE LEGISLATURE TELLS THE. THEY SAY THINK YOU CAN GET TO THREE AND HAPPENING WHAT WE CAN CONNECT 3.4 POINT WE ARE GOING LEVER THEN THE MOST CONSERVATIVE LEGISLATURE IN MODERN TIMES TELLS HE TOOK OUT, AND WE CAN STILL DO IT AND PROVIDE FOR PEOPLE WITHOUT CUTTING THEM. THAT IS THE BEAUTY OF THE AUDITORS' PROJECT. HERE, TIMMY? THIS IS HYPOCRITICAL, HE WENT TO KEEP GETTING BRAIN INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS, BECAUSE GUESS WHAT WE NOW POINT WE NOW EVERY TIME YOU DELAY THEM? THEY ARE TWICE AS MUCH TO THEM TOMORROW, THAT'S THE COST OF DOING BUSINESS. IF WE DON'T HAVE INTEREST RATES THAT ARE DEAD, IT WILL BE BECAUSE OUR READINGS ARE NOT BAD. WE WENT FROM 1990 WHEN I TOOK OFFICE TO NOW 27 MILLION.

THIS COURT HAS DONE WHAT IS THE BEST TODAY. WE STORY THE FAITH IN THE MARKETPLACE AND ASKED.

IF YOU KEEP GOING BACK RATES, THEY WILL NOT HAVE THE FAITH, BECAUSE THEY WENT TO SEE ASKED CROWD? GROWTH TAKES MONEY. YOU'VE GOT TO INVEST IN THESE SERVICES. I WENT AROUND

LOOKING AT HOW MANY DEPARTMENTS STATES. >>24 JUDGES, GIVEN GET.

>>24, DOING 25 CAN YOU WRITE THAT PLANE STILL HIGH RATINGS. >>THAT THE POLICY THEY WENT, I AGREE, YOU HAVE TO TAKE 10 MILLION JACK TO PUT IN HEALTH, WHICH WE NEED TO DO? WE ARE

BACK AT 25. >>STILL NEED GOOD READING AT 24, 25.

>>AND I TELL YOU SOMETHING? I DID IN THE INTERVIEWS AND SMP ENEMIES THINK NO ONE ELSE DOES THEM BUT ME AND DALE, OKAY? TRUST ME WHEN I SAY I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR AND THEY ARE LOOKING FOR ASKED TO GRAB, AND THE OTHER CONTRAST TO MAKE THE DECISIONS AND I PROMISE YOU, I MEAN? IT WILL BE THE LAUGHING STOCK TO GO BACK RATES. MAYBE THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT? I DON'T THINK THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT. I THINK WHAT YOU WANT IS TO KEEP TAXES LOW AND KEEP SERVICES HI AND GET THE PEOPLE THAT YOU THINK. WELLINGTON CAMINO? IF NOT IN EXCESS OF REVENUE AND I AM WILLING TO COMPROMISE IN ANY WAY TO GET YOU HIS HVAC PERSON THAT YOU THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT, I DO NOT THINK THEY ARE IMPORTANT BECAUSE WE HAVE ANYTHING TO AGREEMENT FOR HVAC. WE HAVE THAT. ANYTHING THAT WE HAVE BRAIN UTILITIES THAT WE THOUGHT POINT. THE ONLY REASON WE GOT THE 49 TO GET NEW CHILL ELEVATORS CONNECT TO GET ALL THE THINGS WE GOT BECAUSE WE HAD TRAJECTORY THAT WE WERE ON THINK YOU ARE RIGHT, IT'S AN

[07:40:06]

OFF YEAR? TWICE A VERY, IT'S OFTEN AD VALOREM, UPON HEALTH INSURANCE, AND, QUITE FRANKLY, IT'S NOT BECAUSE THERE'S QUITE HAS A LOT OF DIFFERENCES IN OPINION AT THE PENN STATE IN UNIFIED. OFTEN THE WHOLE DAMN THING IS OFF. BUT IT? IF WE WORK TOGETHER. WHAT THE TAXPAYER LENGTH IS TO SHOW THEM THAT YOU ARE GOING TO WORK TOGETHER. THAT NEXT YEAR? PROMISE YOU CAN YOU GO TO THE EFFECTIVE FREQUENCY COMPARING ARRAYS THAT ARE SUSTAINABLE IN THE I KNOW THEY CAN GET THAT COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT. JUST FORGET IT BECAUSE IT STARTS ALLOWING ANYTHING THAT I'M THINKING I COULDN'T .39 2.9. KEEP IN RATINGS AND FLEXIBILITY NEXT YEAR TO MAKE YOU THINK IS PERMANENT BECAUSE ARPA OUR LAST TWO YEARS. IF YOU DO ART THAT CANNOT THESE PEOPLE, HEY CAN IN TWO YEARS, WE'RE BROKE AGAIN?

>>JACKSON NOT THINK ABOUT AT THE SEMINAR THIS WEEKEND BUT HASN'T TAKEN IT NOT DOCUMENTED

AS EXPRESS PUT INTO RAZORS IT LIKE A HAZARD PAY. >>WE HAVE ÃÃI AGREE WITH YOU.

IT'S GOT TO BE THAT IT'S A SITUATIONAL, BUT NOT EVERYBODY WOULD QUALIFY IN THE HAZARD

PAY. >>AND SO, I NOTE THAT IS WHAT THEY SAID. THE WEEK ÃÃWE HAVE TAUGHT TALK TO THE MAN WHO HANDLES THE MONEY FOR OUR PUT IN WASHINGTON DC. HIS NAME IS DEPUTY SECRETARY WALLY DAMIANA. WITH THESE QUESTIONS INTO THEM. AND REMEMBER, WE DON'T EVEN HAVE FINAL INTERIM RULES. OKAY? SO, AGAIN, IT'S NOT LIKE I'M TRYING TO TEACH US. I'M TRYING TO TELL YOU THAT I'M WORKING WITH YOU. I WANT EVERYBODY TEST IS EVERYTHING THAT YOU WANT. WE HAVE TO HAVE THIS TAX RATE CANNOT CUT PEOPLE. AND I KNOW THAT YOU

WANT A CUP PEOPLE. >>MAKE A GOOD POINT TO PRETTY TALK ABOUT WORKING TOGETHER.

AND, A LOT OF WHAT HAPPENS HERE. >>IN RECENT TIMES, WE WERE

TOGETHER BEAUTIFULLY AND 2019 Ã ÃSO COVID. >>UNTIL COVID. BECAUSE THE

EMERGENCY POWER CAUSES A STRAIN ON YOU AND CAUSES US TO. >>HATES ME.

>>THAT'S UNTRUE. >>NO I REALLY FEEL IT JUST SO YOU KNOW.

>>ARE NEVER DISCUSSED I DON'T HATE YOU. >>GOOD.

>>COULD STILL BE FRIENDS AND STILL DISAGREE. IT'S HARD FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND SOMETIMES BECAUSE IT TOOK A REAL PERSONALLY. BUT THAT'S PART OF IT. IT'S BEEN VERY HARD FOR US BECAUSE OF THIS WAY THIS COVID STUFF HAS COME DOWN. THE WAY THESE EMERGENCY POWERS COME DOWN AND LOAD THE SPENDING BEGETS GRIEF FOR DIFFERENT STUFF. YOU GET MAD AT US FOR

QUESTIONING IT. >>NO I DON'T. I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND MORE ABOUT IT.

>>I KNOW. BUT WORKING TOGETHER TODAY TO GET SOMETHING DONE IS WHAT WE ALL WANT TO DO. BUT WE

ALL WANT TO BE AND FEEL LIKE WE ARE ALL PART OF THE TEAM. >>I AGREE. SO, WHEN I ASK YOU ÃÃWHEN YOU STATE THAT YOU WANT THE EFFECTIVE RATE. I SAY ME TOO. ME TOO. BUT I SAY TO YOU ÃÃYOU HAVE NOT DONE YOUR DUE DILIGENCE. YOU ARE THIS COURT A SPREADSHEET OF WHAT YOU

WANT TO CUT. YOU CANNOT JUST SAY WE WILL TACKLE IT LATER. >>NOT JUDGE PRINT THAT IS NOT WHAT I'M SAYING. I'M SAYING TO YOU TODAY THAT THERE IS AN ACKNOWLEDGMENT BY ME THAT WHO WITHOUT A DOUBT MIGHT BE THE MOST PHYSICALLY CONSERVATIVE OFFICIAL IN THE COUNTY. I TAKE

THAT AS A BADGE OF HONOR. >>AGNOSTIC DIFFICULTY THIS YEAR BECAUSE OF SOME THINGS THAT REALLY FRUSTRATED ME. THE ABM CONTRACT. THE LACK OF GROWTH. THINGS OF THAT NATURE. BUT AT THE SAME TIME, I DO THINK THAT THERE ARE WAYS TO TIGHTEN THIS BUDGET AND AT THE SAME TIME, I'M NOT SITTING HERE TRYING TO ÃÃI GET IT. YOU GOT IT CONVINCE COMMISSIONER ERNEST TODAY WHAT TO DO. THAT'S FAIR THAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO THAT. BUT PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS WORKING TOGETHER THINK IS GREAT AND IT SOUNDS WONDERFUL. BUT THAT MEANS SOMETIMES WE JUST

HAVE TO BE ABLE TO DISAGREE AND NOT TAKE IT PERSONALLY. >>I AM WITH YOU BRENT. I UNDERSTAND THAT. I DO. AND I AGREE WITH YOU. BUT I'M GOING TO TELL YOU SOMETHING. WE HAVE WORKED TOGETHER ON ALL KINDS OF TRAGEDIES AND GREAT PROJECTS TOGETHER. AND WHAT IS VERY DISHEARTENING AS ADMINISTRATOR SOMEBODY WHO WORKS EVERY DAY IS I DID NOT MAKE THE RULES, BUT I DO LOVE THE BY THEN. AN EMERGENCY POWERS AND THE COUNTY JUDGE WAS GIVEN THE AUTHORITY UNDER FOR 18 THAT FLOWS FROM THE GOVERNMENT. BUT THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT LIKE THE GOVERNOR OTHER RIGHT NOW. FOR THE DECISIONS THAT HE'S MADE. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? WHEN PEOPLE

[07:45:03]

ARE DYING AND YOU'RE IN A DISASTER, THAT'S WHAT YOU DO. I AGREE WITH YOU. WHEN A DISASTER IS NOT BUILT FOR SEVEN DAYS ÃÃEXCUSE ME THESE POWERS WERE BUILT FOR A SHORT-TERM

DISASTER. >>IT WAS. >>LONG-TERM DISASTER. WHAT MAKES YOU UNCOMFORTABLE MAKES ME UNCOMFORTABLE. AT THE END OF THE DAY, FOLLOW THE RULES.

I FOLLOWED THE LAW. AND I GET STUFF DONE. AND AS AN AS A RESULT, I BELIEVE THE TEAM THAT WORKS CITY COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT TEAM FROM THE RESPECTIVE JURISDICTIONS HAS SAVED LIVES. AND THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO. AND WE ARE STILL DOING IT EVERY

SINGLE DAY. >>I KNOW. I'M NOT GOING TO COMMENT ON Ã¦

>>I HEAR YOU. YOU DON'T LIKE IT. GO CHANGE IT. >>THAT'S WHAT'S GOTTEN US HERE

TODAY. >>NO DOUBT. NO DOUBT. SOME OF US.

>>FOR ME. I'M NOT SPEAKING FOR EVERYONE. >NOT EVERYBODY. >>THAT'S WHAT'S GOTTEN TO THE DISCOMFORT LEVEL WHERE THERE'S A LACK OF AND AND OF THE SKIN, WRONG, BUT A LACK OF TRUST OF KNOWING THAT WE ARE INVOLVED IN THE PROCESS BECAUSE I GET IT. YOU'VE BEEN USED TO DOING

WHATEVER HE WANTED TO DO HOWEVER HE WANTED TO DO. >>NO SIR.

>>UNDER THE EMERGENCY POWERS. I'M NOT TRYING TO SAY MEAN. IF YOU HAVE THE POWERS. YOU WERE ABLE TO DO THINGS THAT MADE IT VERY UNCOMFORTABLE FOR THE REST OF US, WERE USED TO EVERY

DECISION BEING MADE AT THE COUNTY. AND DON'T GO OFF. >>I GET IT. THE THREE COUNTY

JUDGE. >>. >>GOING BACK TO WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT BEING UNITED AND STICKING TOGETHER. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS THAT THERE HAS GOT TO BE UNDERSTANDING DOLLARS AND CENTS. AND THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WITHOUT WANT TO SET TAX RATES ARE ÃÃTHEN THERE'S THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT YOU GET TO GO FISCALLY BE RESPONSIBLE

WITH. >>THE TRIP. >>OKAY? IF YOU DON'T SET THE TAX RATE TO COVER THE DOCUMENTS AND THE CONTRACTS AND BY THE WAY, I'M EVEN HAPPY TO RECESS BECAUSE I'LL BE HONEST WITH YOU, I PRIDE MYSELF ON MAKING SURE THAT I KNOW JUST AS WE WERE NOT THINKING ABOUT TALKING ABOUT THE HEALTH INSURANCE TRANSFER TODAY. BUT DALE, I WANT TO MAKE SURE 3.7 MILLION LOANS. I HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE NUMBERS ÃÃWHATEVER THEY ARE, THEY ARE. AND 3.7 IN MY LEDGER. I LOOKED AT IT. THIS IS THE CONCERN AND I KNOW THAT 2 MILLION OF JUSTICE WE HAD A REAL SHOT BECAUSE OF GOOD CONSCIOUSNESS LAST YEAR. Ã¦

>>ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS THAT EVEN WITH THE LOWEST ÃÃEVEN IF IT'S $2 MILLION FROM RESERVES. KEEPING THE 25 PERCENT IS KEY. THE GET STRUCK WITH HURRICANE IDA, THIS

>> TODAY, YOU HAVE TO START WITH A TAX RATE THAT'S GOOD ENOUGH TO GET US A STRENGTH OF COMMUNITY HERE FOR THIS COUNTY.

HOW CAN WE LOOK PEOPLE IN THE EYE WHO COME IN HERE? YOU KNOW HOW MANY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS PEOPLE ASKED FOR? YOU THINK THEY ASKED BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T NEED IT.

IT'S HARD TO ACTS ASK FOR MO. YOU CAN'T GIVE ANY OF THEM.

AND SO I ASK YOU, SIR. , SUPPORT THE ECONOMICS AND THEN STEP TWO IS YOU SPEND IT WISELY, BUT STEP ONE HAS TO BE THAT YOU BRING IN A SUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF DOLLARS TO TAKE CARE OF THE NEEDS. THEY'RE NOT WANTS BY CONTRACT.

IF YOU DON'T DO THAT, YOU DEPLETE OUR RESOURCES IN A WAY

THAT HURTS US. >> JUDGE, WHAT I AM CONCERNED ABOUT, AND I KNOW YOU SAID WE CAN'T SPEAK ABOUT CONTRACTS --

>> WE CAN, BUT WE CAN'T NEGOTIATE, BUT WE HAVE TO SPEAK

UP. >> FROM THIS POINT ON THAT WE CAREFULLY ARE GIVING OUT CONTRACTS TO PEOPLE THAT CAN

ACTUALLY DO THE WORK. >> AND I KNOW THAT THAT IS A CONCERN OF YOURS AND WHAT I CAN TELL YOU IS THAT I'M UNAWARE OF ANY CONTRACT THAT WE WOULDN'T DO THAT FOR.

I THINK THAT ALL OF WHAT WE DO HERE IS WE WORK WITH THE COUNTY ATTORNEY, SHE LOOKS AT THESE CONTRACTS AND SHE DOES A GOOD JOB OF SECURING THEIR VALIDITY AND, ALSO, WE DO THE APPROPRIATE

[07:50:08]

PROCUREMENTS WHICH ARE COMPETITIVE AND I WILL DO ANYTHING THAT WILL ASSURE THAT PEOPLE DO THE WORK, BUT IF YOU AND I DISAGREE ABOUT THE QUALITY OF WORK THAT SOMEBODY IS PERFORMING, THAT IS A DISAGREEMENT THAT NEEDS TO GET HANDLED EITHER BY THE LEGAL SENSE OR SOME OTHER SENSE.

YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO SAY I DON'T LIKE THEIR WORK.

YOU DO. >> I HAVE.

>> AND YOU HAVE, BUT YOU ALSO NEED TO UNDERSTAND, AND THIS IS WHERE IT COMES INTO THE LEGAL RAMIFICATIONS, THAT THERE ARE WAYS TO CURE HA THAT. YOU CAN CHOOSE NEVER TO WORK WITH THEM AGAIN OR PUNISH THEM BY SUING THEM FOR BAD WORKMANSHIP. YOU CAN SAY YOU DIDN'T DELIVER ON THE PROMISES AND THERE ARE MANY THINGS, BUT MAKE NO MISTAKE, THERE ARE WAYS TO CURE THINGS FOR THIS COMMUNITY AND I DON'T KNOW PERSONALLY OF ONE THING YET THAT WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO SOLVE BY WORKING TOGETHER.

>> I UNDERSTAND, JUDGE, AND I WISH EVERYBODY WOULD BE IN THE SAME PREDICTMENT TO GIVE AT NO COSTS TO THE COUNTY BUT OTHERS

DON'T HAVE THAT LURKSERY. LUXUR. >> THEY DON'T.

>> IT IS MY CONCERN AND I DON'T WANT TO BE THE ONE TO MAKE EMPLOYEES TO LOSE THEIR LIVELIHOOD, OK?

>> I AGREE. AND, AGAIN, IN THINKING THE OTHER WAY AROUND, IT'S BECAUSE OF THE WAY WE SPEND THE MONEY.

>> THIS IS YOUR FIRST BUDGET CYCLE S AND YOU NOW GET A CHANCE TO HAVE A SAY SO IN EACH AND EVERY AGENDA ITEM.

>> I UNDERSTAND, AND YOU HAVE TO ALLOW DEMOCRACY TO RULE OR ANY OTHER STATUTE. SOMETIMES WE DON'T LIKE IT, BUT THERE'S A STATUTE THAT SAYS YOU HAVE TO PAY X, BUT FOR THE MOST PART, YOU GET A SAY SO, NOT ALWAYS, BUT 99% OF THE TIME, YOU

GET A SAY SO. >> AS LONG YOU DON'T GAVEL ME OUT. JUST A JOKE.

>> THERE'S AN OPERATING LOAN OF 3.7 MILLION.

>> SO WE HAVE A 3.$7 MILLION LOAN.

>> BUT THAT'S FOR THE -- THAT'S SOMETHING WE PUT INTO HEALTH INSURANCE TO CUT THE CHECKS AND WE GET THE MONEY BACK WHEN WE GET THE PREMIUMS BACK BUT WE HAVE A LOAN TO THE INSURANCE

FUND. >> THERE'S NO CASH RESERVES.

>> THERE IS CASH RESERVES, BUT IT'S OFFSET MINUS THE 1.$7 MILLION LOSS AND THAT'S NOT AN ADDITIONAL MONEY WE'RE DOWN.

I'M JUST MAKING SURE. >> OF THE 3.7, WE LOSE 1.4 OF

IT. >> THE 1.4, WE HAVE TO

APPROPRIATE IN GENERAL FUND. >> YES.

>> WE HAVEN'T DONE THAT YET, OK, THAT'S DIFFERENT.

>> THAT'S OUT OF RESERVES. >> YES.

>> AND IT'S COMING OUT OF RESERVES.

>> I THINK THE HEALTH INSURANCE IS STILL A MESS.

>> OH, SURE. >> I DON'T THINK REALLY REALLY GETTING IT, AND I WILL AGREE THAT AT LEAST WE NEED AT LEAST $2 MILLION, AND I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE HIGHER, BASED UPON WHAT WE'RE SEEING, BUT, AGAIN, I'M NOT WILLING TO GO OUT ON A LIMB BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE MY FACTS ON FIGURES ON HEALTH, BUT I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT $2 MILLION IS DEFINITELY A

DEFICIT. >> THIS IS WHAT WE'RE SAYING

JUDGE. >> BUT IT'S GOING TO BE MORE.

>> THE NUMBERS, AND MAYBE FOUR MONTHS AGO, WE COULD HAVE DISCUSSED THIS, BRING IT TO THE TABLE, BECAUSE WE KEPT ASKING 27

WILL BE THE BALANCE. >> BUT WE'RE NOT DONE YET WITH

THE YEAR. >> I KNOW, BUT WE GET AN IDEA.

I MEAN, I ALREADY KNEW THAT WE WERE IF THE RED WITH INSURANCE

THREE MONTHS AGO. >> RIGHT, BUT YOU DON'T KNOW BECAUSE IT TRACKS SO FAR BEHIND, JACK.

[07:55:04]

IT TRACKS 60 DAYS BEFORE YOU GET THE LAST OF IT.

>> YOU BORROW TWO MILLION DOLLARS.

>> THIS IS NOT A NEW THING. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S CUMULATIVE. ALL I'M SAYING TO YOU IS THAT DON'T COUNT ON RESERVES. YOU'RE GOING TO NEED YOUR RESERVES TO HELP YOU WITH HEALTH AND THAT'S A TRUE STATEMENT AND I CAN'T TELL YOU WHAT THE NUMBER IS, BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW THE NUMBER, BUT YOU NEED TO COUNT ON USE RESERVES TO HELP YOU WITH HEALTH AND THE GOAL HAS TO BE TO DO THAT AND TO KEEP IT AS HIGH TO THE 25% AS POSSIBLE. AND THAT IS ABSOLUTELY KEY.

AND SO, I MEAN, YOU KNOW -- THE LAST FOUR MONTHS, WE SPENT A

MILLION DOLLARS IN CLAIM. >> AS THEY SAY VOILÀ!

I'LL WAIT FOR HIM TO COME BACK. >> I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

>> WELL, LIKE I JUDGE, I'VH EVERY SCENARIO AND I WANT TO TRY TO DO THE BEST I CAN FOR TAXES, BUT THE WAY I SEE IT, THIS IS THE OPTION WE NEED TO FOLLOW AND THIS GIVES US WHAT WE NEED RUNNING AND WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT AND KNOW THAT SOME OF THE DEPARTMENTS ARE SHORT STAFFED AND SOME OF THEM DIFFERENTLY NEED MORE, MORE S IS THE BEST TO PROVIDE FOR YOU.

>> IN KIND OF REMINDS ME A FEW YEARS AGO WITH LLOYD NEIL AND I LOVE BRANT, BUT LLOYD NEIL IS MORE OF A FISCAL CONSERVATIVE THAN BRANT WILL EVER BE. AND JUDGE NEIL UNDERSTOOD THAT.

IT TOOK AN UNLIKELY DUO TO SUPPORT THE JUDGE AND THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT TODAY. AND I TRUST YOU AND I TRUST THE HOMEWORK YOU'VE DONE ON THIS. LIKE I SAID, I CONTINUE TO SUPPORT WHAT YOU'RE RECOMMENDATION IS.

ANY AUDITOR WOULD CONSIDER THEMSELVES FISCALLY

CONSERVATIVE, WOULDN'T THEY? >> I TRUST THE BEST I CAN, BECAUSE MY JOB IS TO PROTECT THE COUNTY ASSETS, THE FUNDS WE NEED AND I DON'T WANT TO RAISE TAXES. I PAY TAXES AND MY TAXES ARE SKY HIGH LIKE ANYBODY ELSE AND I WOULD LIKE TO REDUCE IT, BUT SOMETIMES, UNFORTUNATELY, IT'S THE COST OF DOING BUSINESS AND I'M SURE OUR COUNTY IS GETTING BIGGER.

IF YOU LISTEN TO EVERYONE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT IN ANOTHER TEN YEARS, WE COULD BE $200,000 BIGGER.

SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT NEEDING MORE SPACE, MORE RESOURCES, MORE STUFF DO AND MORE COURTS. IT COULD BE CONSIDERED A COSTLY EFFORT. I'VE GONE THROUGH THIS BUDGET AS MANY TIMES AS I CAN AND CUT AS MUCH AS FISCALLY POSSIBLE AND I SEE FIVE YEARS OF HISTORY AND I DON'T SEE WHERE THEY CAN AFFORD MUCH CUTS AND I'M DOING THE BEST I CAN AND THAT'S WHAT I'M PROPOSING AT THIS RATE, TO TRY TO GET WHAT THE COUNTY NEEDS.

>> THANK YOU. >> OK.

ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS GIVEN WHAT DALE JUST AR TUCK ARTICULATED? AND SO, BEFORE I DO THIS, I DO WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE ARTICULATE MAKE THIS MOTION THAT THE PROPERTY TAX BE INCREASED BY THE OFF ADOPTION OF A TAX RATE OF.311483, WHICH IS EFFECTIVELY A 4.8% IN THE TAX RATE AND THAT'S IN THE TAX RATE ALONE, AND THE TAX RATE, I WILL RAISE MORE TAXES FOR MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION THAN LAST YEAR'S TAX RATE AND BE RAISED BY 3.41% AND THAT'S UNDER UNDER 3.41 AND E

[08:00:06]

THIS MOTION BECAUSE THE AUDITOR SUPPORTS IT AND I THINK YOU SAID IT BEST AND WE HAVE PUT THE PENCIL AS SHARP AS WE CAN.

WE DID GROW BY 3.86%, WHICH WITH AN UNDERCOUNT STILL REFLECTS GROWTH IN OUR COUNTY. AND THIS WILL SET US ON A COURSE FOR SUCCESS. AND CERTAINLY IT DOESN'T GET US WHAT WE ABSOLUTELY NEED, BUT IT GETS US TO ABLE TO PAY FOR OUR OBLIGATIONS AND TO TAKE CARE OF THE NEEDS OF OUR ELECTIVES, PLUS THE NEEDS OF OUR COUNTY HEADS DEPARTMENT-WIDE.

IS THERE A SECOND? >> SECOND.

>> AND I WAS GOING TO SAY ALL IN FAVOR, BUT I HAVE TO DO A RECORD VOTE HERE. AND SO COMMISSIONER HERNANDEZ?

>> NO. >> COMMISSION MODES?

>> NO. >> COMMISSIONER GONZALEZ?

>> NO. >> AND CHESSNY?

NO. >> AND I'M AN ARC AYE.

>> GIVEN YOU WILL NOT APPROVE THIS TAX RATE THAT THE AUDITOR HAS RECOMMENDED, IS THERE A TAX RATE THAT WOULD BE A COMPROMISED TAX RATE TO GO LOWER THAN 3.41? DALE, ORIGINALLY, IN YOUR -- YOU KNOW HOW YOU DO YOUR SCENARIOS, YOU'VE DONE THEM FOR OTHER RATES AND COMMISSIONER HERNANDEZ, GIVEN THAT IT SEEMS YOU DO NOT SEEM AS DUG IN ON THE EFFECTIVE RATE, IS THERE A RATE THAT YOU WOULD SUPPORT THAT WOULD ASSIST US IN NOT HAVING TO CUT PEOPLE AND FIRE PEOPLE AND LET PEOPLE LOSE THEIR JOBS?

>> JUDGE, YOU THINK WE CAN USE OUR MONEY TO HELP US OUT?

NOT AT THIS TIME, JUDGE. >> I NEED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT YOUR RELIANCE ON THE ART MONEY WILL NOT SOLVE THIS.

ART MONEY DOES NOT ALLOW YOU TO PAY YOUR BUDGET FROM IT.

SO I NEED YOU TO KNOW THAT, SIR. THERE'S $3.7 MILLION WORTH OF NEEDS AND ARP CANNOT PAY THEM AND I NEED YOU TO KNOW THEM.

IF YOU'RE MAKING A DECISION ON ARP, YOU NEED TO KNOW WHAT IT CAN AND CANNOT FUNDS. FUND.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENTIATION ON THE SALARY INCREASES, IT CAN HELP YOU ON THAT, BUT CANNOT SOLVE BUDGET.

THE ACT PROHIBITS YOU FROM USING IT TO SOLVE YOUR BUDGETARY NEEDS. IN FACT, THAT'S DOLLARLY CLEARL

ARTICULATED. >> DALE, CAN YOU RECOMMEND SOMETHING LOWER TO WORK WITH AND WHAT THAT WILL MAKE US?

>> WE HAVE SEVERAL SCENARIOS. IF 3.4 WAS NOT A REASONABLE AMOUNT WHICH WAS THE PROPOSED RATE, MAYBE WE CAN GO TO 3.3, WHICH BRINGS IN 3.6 AND 3.2 BRINGS IF 3.5 AND SO, I WOULD

NOT GO BELOW 3%. >> I WILL AGREE TO 3%.

>> CAN YOU PUT THE NUMBERS AGAIN SINCE WE'RE JUST --

>> REVENUE TAX RATE FOR THE GENERAL FUND, 3.4 MILLION

OWNERS. >> OK AND 3.14, .41.

>> 3.41 IS WHERE WE'RE AT NOW. >> IT'S 3.7 SOMETHING?

>> 3.73. >> SO COMMISSIONER HERNANDEZ, YOU WOULD NOT BE IN FAVOR OF 3.3 OR 3.2?

>> NO, MA'AM. >> YOU WOULD BE IN FAVOR OF 3.0,

3%? >> YES, MA'AM.

>> WOULD YOU PLEASE MAKE THAT, SIR?

>> I WOULD LIKE TO GO 2.9. >> DO YOU CHOOSE THESE

ARBITRARILY? >> I AM CONCERNED HOW WE SPEND

OUR MONEY. >> YOU'LL GET A CHANCE TO DO THAT. YOUR TRYING TO GET ENOUGH MONEY TO HAVE THE PEOPLE HERE TO TELL THEM HOW TO SPEND IT.

IT'S HARD TO BE WISE IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE PEOPLE TO EXERCISE THAT WISDOM. WHAT IS 2.9, DALE?

>> I DON'T HAVE THAT WITH ME. YOU WOULD HAVE TO LOOK THAT UP, BUT I'M GUESSING IT'S 3.3 OR 3.2.

>> 2.9 WON'T BE MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE.

>> SO I FEEL LIKE WE'RE DEALING WITH ARBITRARY NUMBERS.

[08:05:10]

>> 3.9, RIGHT. >> YOU MEANT 3%.

>> YES. >> I'LL PASS YOU THE MAGIC

LINKER. >> THAT'S 3.0144.

>> IT HAS TO BE CHANGED. >> THIS IS JUST THE GENERAL

FUND. >> WHAT DID SHE SAY IN.

>> THE U.N. S INS CANNOT BE. >> WE'RE NOT FULLY FUNDING THE DEBT SERVICE AND WITH A SMALL AMOUNT OF FUNDS.

>> THAT WE'LL USE. >> WE'RE DOING THE VOTER APPROVED RATE BECAUSE IT BRINGS IN $50,000 SO IT'S THE REDUCTION OF THE GENERAL FUNDS AND THE TOTAL RATE WOULD BE 3.10445.

>> GOT IT. >> OK.

>> I SECOND THE MOTION. >> WE'VE GOT A SECOND ON THAT.

>> SO WE'LL TAKE A RECORD VOTE FOR THE CLERK, BUT IT'S GOING TO TALK US JUST A SECOND BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO GET THE NEW AND AIL I'LL TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS TIME TO RUN TO THE LADY'S ROOM AND IT'S NOT A RECESS. LISA IS JUST GOING TO GET THE NUMBERS, UNLESS YOU THINK IT WILL TAKE YOU MORE THAN FIVE MINUTES. IF YOU'LL JUST EXCUSE ME FOR JUST A MOMENT, PLEASE.

[08:24:50]

(BRIEF PAUSE)

[08:30:09]

>> OK, I THINK I FINISHED EVERYTHING I CAN FINE AND I

[08:30:12]

ALWAYS APPRECIATE THE DOUBLE-CHECK.

[08:30:21]

THIS THERE IS THE SIGN-IN SHEET.

[08:35:27]

>> WE'RE GOING TO COME BACK ON THE RECORD AND WE NEVER REALLY

[08:35:30]

LEFT, BUT WE WERE ON A LONG COLD, SO I'M GOING TO YIELD TO COMMISSIONER HERNANDEZ WHO WILL BE READING THIS YEAR'S MOTION.

COMMISSIONER HERNANDEZ. JUST DON'T FORGET THE MICROPHONE SO THEY CAN HEAR YOU, WHERE IT STARTS WITH I MOVE.

>> I MOVE THAT THE PROPERTY TAX RATE BE INCREASED BUT THE ADOPTION OF THE TAX RATE OF 0.31445, EFFECTIVELILY A 3.8 3%

INCREASE IN THE TAX RATE. >> IS THERE ANYMORE AT THE

BOTTOM? >> THIS WILL RAISE MORE FOR OPERATIONS THAN LAST YEAR'S TAX RATE AND WILL EFFECTIVELY BE RAISED BY 3.01% AND WILL RAISE TAXES FOR MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS ON A $100,000 MOMENT BY APPROXIMATELY 1.04.

NEGATIVE. >> NEGATIVE 1.04.

>> AND COULD YOU PASS THAT TO HIM?

>> AND OK, THANK YOU. AND SO WE'LL GET THEM ORGANIZED.

WHENEVER YOU ALL ARE READY AND SO, LOOK, HE'S JUST READ THAT INTO THE RECORD AND SO THAT IS HIS MOTION AND SO WE ARE NEEDING TO TAKE A RECORD VOTE ON THAT AND -- AND COMMISSIONER, MODESS SECONDS AND WE'LL TAKE THE RECORD VOTE AND COMMISSIONER HERNANDEZ, WE'LL START WITH YOU SINCE YOU MADE THE MOTION AND

HOW DO YOU VOTE ON YOUR MOTION? >> I VOTE YES.

>> AND AYE. >> COMMISSIONER GONZALEZ?

>> NO. >> COMMISSIONER CHESTNY?

>> NO. >> AND THE AYES HAVE IT AND WE HAVE SET A TAX RATE AND WE ARE NOW GOING TO MOVE TO -- LET ME

GET BACK TO -- >> I'LL DO WHAT WE DID ON THE PREVIOUS ITEM AND I'M GOING TO PRESENT THE ORDER SO IF YOU LOOK AT ITEM 3A2, YOU'LL BE ADOPTING AN ORDER APPROVING THE TAX ROLL, SETTING THE TACK RATE AND LEVYING IT AGAINST ALL TAXABLE PROMPT IN NUECES COUNTY. WHEREAS THE COMMISSIONERS FINDING THE TAX RATE CONSISTING OF THE FOLLOWING TWO COMPONENTS, ONE, THE DEBT SERVICE TAX RATE OF 0.044752, THAT IF APPLIED TO THE TOTAL TAXABLE VALUE WILL IMPOSE THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF TAXES NEEDED TO PAY DEBT SERVICE FOR THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR AND TWO, THE MAINTENANCE IS OPERATION TAX RATE OF 0.261948, THAT IF APPLIED TO THE TOTAL TAXABLE VALUE WILL IMPOSE THE AMOUNT OF THE TAXES NEEDED TO FUNDS MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION EXPENDITURES OF THE COUNTY FOR THE NEXT YEAR AND THIS TAX RATE WILL RAISE MORE TAXES FOR MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION THAN LAST YEAR'S TAX RATE. THE TAX RATE WILL EFFECTIVELY BE RAISED BY 3.01% AND WILL RAISE TAXES FOR MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS ON A $100,000 HOME BY APPROXIMATELY NEGATIVE $1.04 AND THEREFORE BE IT ORDERED BY THE COMMISSIONER'S COURT THAT THE 2021 TAX ROLL AS COMMITTED BY THE NUECES TAX APPRAISAL DISTRICT TO THE TAX ASSESSOR COLLECTOR IS APPROVED AND THE FOLLOWING TAX RATES PER ONE HUNDRED VALUE ARE SET AND LEVIED

AND IT ACTUALLY FOLLOWS THAT, I THINK THE CLERK WOULD FILL IN ON THIS ORDER THAT THE MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER HERNANDEZ AND THAT WILL GET FILLED IN AND IT WAS SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER MOREES AND YOU ARE RECORDING WHO VOTED, OK. SO DO WE NEED A MOTION TO

APPROVE THE ORDER? >> SO THANK YOU FOR READING THE ORDER AND SO NOW WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE ADOPTION OF THAT ORDER AND WOULD SOMEONE LIKE TO MAKE THAT MOTION TO

>> THE NOTICE ON TOP THIS YOU READ, THE LINE 2, WHEREAS TO THE MINUTES, THIS SHOULD BE THE COMBINED RATE FOR THE GENERAL FUNDS AND ROAD FUND AND 2653 AND THAT'S THE RATE OF THE GENERAL

FUNDS. >> HANG ON AND LET ME TAKE THE VOTE ON THIS ONE. SO ON THE ORDERS AND THE RESOLUTIONS, LET ME TAKE THE VOTE, PLEASE, ON THAT, AND ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF PASSING AND ADOPTING THE ORDERS RESOLUTIONS, AS I SAID, THE ONES WE DO EVERY YEAR AND PROVIDED TO YOU, PLEASE

SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE? >> AND NOW WE'LL DO BACK IN E AND THIS IS THE ROAD FUNDS WAS EXCLUDED.

>> SHOULD SHOULD INCLUDE THE ROAD FUND AND A SMALL CHANGE WHICH IS 2653 AND THAT'S THE ONLY CHANGE.

AND SO DO YOU HAVE A COPY FOR ME TO READ THE CORRECTION? JUST FOR THE RECORD, I WOULD LIKE TO CORRECT THE FIRST WHEREAS THAT I READ EARLIER AND SO I'LL REPEAT THE WHOLE THING.

WHEREAS THE COMMISSIONER'S COURT FINDS AND APPROVES SEPARATELY THE TAX RATE FOR THE CURRENT YEAR OF THE TWO COMPONENTS, THAT THAT SERVICE TAX RATE OF 0.44252, IF APPLIED TO THE TOTAL TAXABLE VALUE WILL IMPOSE THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF TAXES NEEDED TO PAY DEBT SERVICE FOR THE NEXT YEAR AND NUMBER TWO, THE MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION TAX RATE IS 0.265693, THAT IF OFF EMPLOYED APPLIED WITH FUNDS MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION EXPENDITURES OF THE COUNTY FOR THE NEXT YEAR.

THE TAX RATE WILL EFFECTIVELY BE RAISED BY 3.01% AND WILL RAISE TAXES FOR MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS ON A $100,000 HOME BY APPROXIMATELY -$1.04 AND THE REMAINDERS OF THE RESOLUTION

STAYS THE SAME. >> THANK YOU FOR THE CORRECTION AND SO NOW, I'LL ACTS ACTS A WITHDRAWAL OF THE PREVIOUS ACCEPTANCE OF THAT ORDER AND IS THERE A MOTION TO WITHDRAW AND AMEND THE WAY TINER HAS NOW READ IT?

>> I THINK THAT HAS TO BE A YEAR.

>> I SECOND THE MOTION. >> I WOULD DO IT THIS YEAR.

>> WE'LL REPEAT IT AND SO THAT WILL BE HIS MOTION AND DO YOU AGREE WITH EVERYTHING THAT TINER SAID? AND I FEEL LIKE WE'RE MARRYING SOMEBODY --

>> AWE, THAT'S SWEET. DOES THE CONGREGATION AGREE ON

[08:50:02]

ALL OF THEM? I THINK ALL OF THOSE IN FAVOR

SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE. >> AND OPPOSED, SAME SIGN.

THIS IS JUST THE ORDER, RIGHT. THE AGENDA HAD THIS SEPARATELY.

>> I HEARD THE RECORD VOTE AND I PUT IT ON THERE.

IT WAS THE ORDER AND AT EITHER RATE, I THINK THE INTENT IS THERE, RIGHT? AND SO, ON THAT VOTE, I'M A NO.

>> IT'S STILL 3-2.

SO ARE WE ALL SET? SO NOW, DALE, I HAVE US CLEARED OF TWO, THREE AND FOUR, YOU FOE, KNOW, AND I THINK IT WAS JUST THE WAY THAT SOMETIMES WHEN YOU SEE IT, IT SAYS DISCUSS AND CONSIDER THE ADOPTION OF THE ORDER, AND SET THE RATE AND I CAN SEE HOW HE THOUGHT THAT AND NO HARM, NO FOUL, BECAUSE IT'S JUST A REPETITION AND THE DISCUSS AND CONSIDER OFF

[5. Discuss and consider adoption of the 2021-2022 Nueces County Budget.]

ADOPTION OF THE 2021 AND 2022 BUDGET IS THE LAST ITEM THAT I HAVE AND DALE, DURING THE BREAK, I ASKED YOU, WOULD YOU STILL BE COMFORTABLE SETTING FORTH THE BUDGET THAT YOU PROPOSED AND WITH SOME, OBVIOUSLY, TWEAKS TO ACCOUNT FOR THE REVENUE THAT IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE WITH THE NEW TAX RATE WE JUST SET.

>> I PLAN TO SPIT SUBMIT THET AND I'LL NEED TO REDUCE THE REVENUE TO REFLECT WHAT WAS APPROVED BY THE TAX RATES AND I WILL DO THE BALANCES AND THE GENERAL FUND TO OFFSET THIS TO THE CONTINGENCY FUNDS THIS DOES INCLUDE THE SMALL AMENDMENTS TO THE LIMITS TRANSFERS AND THE LIMITED AMOUNT OF RECLASSIFICATIONS AND I'M ASKING TO INCLUDE THE ELECTION DIVISION AND A AND THE RESOURCE'S PERSON TO THE PARKS TO INCREASING THAT SALARY AND THERE'S ONE OTHER ITEM WE WANT TO DISCUSS AND THERE THERE WAS A DISCUSSION THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE INCREASES FOR THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY.

WE CAN ADD THIS AS AN AMENDMENT IF YOU CHOOSE AND THAT WOULD BE AN ADDITIONAL COST OF $400,000 AND THAT WOULD BE THE CONTINGENCY AND WE CAN DO THAT IF THAT'S THE WAY THE COURT WANTS TO PROCEED. BUT THE CURRENT PROJECTION FOR THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY IS NOT IN THE BUDGET AT THE MOMENT.

>> THEY WON'T SIGN, RIGHT? >> THE LAST ONE, I SIGNED AND

VOTED NO. >> THEY SHOULD SIGN THAT BECAUSE

IT RECORDED YOU VOTED NO. >> IT'S ALREADY ON THERE.

>> THEY SHOULD SIGN IT, THEN. >> I JUST SIGNED AND SAID I VOTED NO AND I THINK THAT'S OK. BECAUSE I THOUGHT ON AN ORDER IF YOU VOTE ON IT, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO SIGN WHETHER IT WAS YES OR NO

AND YOU PUT A NO BY IT. >> THERE WAS A VOTE FOR AND AGAINST AND YOU DID VOTE AGAINST.

>> YEAH. >> SO I THINK IT'S OK.

>> IT'S UP ON THE TOP. >> IF YOU SIGN IT AND IT'S CLEAR

[08:55:03]

YOU VOTED NO, THEN I THINK THAT'S ACCURATE.

>> SO IT'S EITHER OR? >> YES.

>> FOR THAT. >> BECAUSE IT'S A SECTION YES OR

NO. >> SO WITH THOSE ADJUSTMENTS THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT -- AND AGAIN, YOUR BUDGET CONTEMPLATED THE 3.41 AND WE WENT DOWN TO THREE, THE DIFFERENTIAL WAS

500,000? >> AND YOU'RE SAYING YOU CAN ADD

THE DA RAISE. >> YES, I CAN FIT THAT IN AND THAT'S THE DISCRETION AND DOES NOT INCLUDE THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S PROPOSED RATE INCREASES AND RIGHT NOW, THE 400,000 IS PRESENTING TO YOU IS AT 10% AND I CAN REDUCE THAT BY HALF IF THAT'S THE COURT'S DISCRETION AND EVERYTHING I IS AT 10 AND YOU CAN GO BY HALF AT 5%.

WHATEVER THE COURT'S DESIRE. RIGHT NOW IT'S NOT INCLUDED.

>> RIGHT, NOR RAISE-WISE, AS WELL.

>> I THINK THEY HAVE TO BE INCLUDED BECAUSE WE ALL SAID WE WOULD COMMIT IT, BUT I DON'T KNOW KNOW WHAT THE NUMBER .

>> THE MAJORITY OF THE STAFF GETS A 10% RAISE FOR THE GENERAL FUND AND $14,000 FOR THE SPECIAL AND IF WE CUT THAT TO 10% FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE STAFF, THAT'S DOWN TO 200,000, WHATEVER

THE COURT DECIDES. >> JUDGE, I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION FOR THAT.

>> IT'S COMEDY, MAN, JUST PURE COMEDY.

WAIT A SECOND. FOR STARTERS, WE'RE DEFICIT HALF A MILLION, WHICH DALE SAYS HE WILL ADJUST CONTINGENCIES WE NEED ANOTHER HALF A MILLION AND I PERSONALLY THINK THAT WE HAVE TO BE THOUGHTFUL HERE ABOUT HOW YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE THAT UP NEXT YEAR IF YOU PUT IT IN YOUR REGULAR BUDGET AND HOW WILL YOU DO THAT? YOU MAY WANT TO CONSIDER DOING HALF AND HALF IF THAT'S THE WILL, TO PUT HALF OF IT IN ARPA, BUT AGAIN IN YOUR REGULAR BUDGET, YOU'RE MARRIED TO THAT.

SO YOU HAVE TO PRODUCE THAT NEXT YEAR AND IT'S GOING TO GET TO STAY IN THERE. I'M NOT SAYING THAT'S A BAD IDEA. I'M SAYING THAT IF YOU WANTED TO DO THAT, WHY DID YOU JUST GET YOUR KNEES OFF, MAN?

>> BECAUSE I THOUGHT I ASKED DARRYL IF ANYBODY WOULD BE CUT

AND HE SAID NO. >> BUT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT

RAISES. >> I WAS INCLUDING RAISES.

>> WELL, SHOOT! >> WELL, SHOOT, I'M SORRY, TOO.

>> THAT'S DIFFERENT. AND FORGIVE ME, BRETT, BUT I WANT THAT TRICK. HOW DO YOU GET TO SAY I'LL GIVE YOU NO MONEY, BUT I WANT TO BE FOR RAISES?

HOW IS THAT COOL? >> THAT'S NOT GIVING NO MONEY.

>> BUT YOU'RE FOR RAISES? >> I DIDN'T SAY NO MONEY.

I DIDN'T AGREE TO THE 3.0%. THERE WAS A MILLION DOLLARS

WORTH OF NEW MONEY. >> OK, SO YOU WANT TO TAKE HALF OF THE MILLION AND GIVE IT TO RAISES?

>> THE D.A. WAS TAKEN CARE OF BUT THE CO AND THE ROAD FUNDS

>> WE'RE STRETCHING EVERYTHING BUT IT CAN BE DONE.

>> I'M JUST WONDERING WHAT THE BEST STRATEGY IS.

TO THOSE OF US THAT CREATED $3 MILLION WORTH OF REVENUE THAT VOTED FOR IT NEED TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO AT LEAST COME UP WITH A STRATEGY THAT'S WORKABLE FOR NEXT YEAR.

WE CAN CERTAINLY DO IT, BUT IT WILL COME UP -- IF IT'S NOT COMING FROM GENERAL REVENUE, IT BECOMES A BUDGET SITUATION NEXT YEAR AND DO WE WANT TO GET BY A LITTLE TIME TO GIVE US GROWTH BACK ON THE TAX ROLES AND SOME NEW REVENUE IN ORDER TO HANDLE ENOUGH HALF A MONTH I'M JUST WONDERING IF YOU SPLIT IT?

>> THAT'S A CHOICE, BUT THE FUNDS ARE A GRANT FUND AND THEY

[09:00:01]

WILL END IN 2024 AND IF WE DO ANYTHING BY 2024, IT WILL BE ADDED TO THE GENERAL FUND OR WE WOULD TELL EVERYBODY WE WOULD REDUCE OUR SALARY. AND THEN YOU SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE

LEAVE. >> YEAH.

NO, I KNOW, IT'S DANGEROUS TO PUT IT ALL ON ONE SIDE AND I WAS THINKING -- I WAS HOPING THAT WE COULD DO A SPLIT, BUT, AGAIN, NOW WE'RE TALKING FINDING -750 AND CONTINGENCIES ARE THERE FOR

CONTINGENCIES. >> I CAN GO THROUGH THE DIFFERENT SCENARIOS AND CUT MOST OF THEM BY HALF, WHICH IS 5% IS GIVE MAJORITY OF THE STAFF 5% AND SOME WILL BE 10% OR 15% AND THAT'S THE WAY FROM ONE LEVEL TO ANOTHER LEVEL AND SO I COULD

REDUCE THAT 413 TO 3 OR 250. >> HOW DO WE HANDLE THE FACT THAT THEY JUST GAVE THEMSELVES BUMPS UP BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE CONFIDENCE WE COULD DO IT SO THEY JUST RESHUFFLED THE DECK AND EVERYBODY WENT HERE WITH HIGHER SALARIES AND NOW WE GET TO HAVE TWICE? IS EVERYBODY AWARE OF THAT? DO YOU KNOW THAT THEY DID THAT? ALL I'M SAYING IS THAT WE SHOULDN'T MAKE THE DECISION IN FIVE MINUTES.

WE SHOULD THINK ABOUT THE RIGHT WAY TO GIVE -- I'M FOR THE SALARY INCREASE AND THAT IS WHY I VOTED THE WAY I DID TODAY.

>> COULD YOU JUST SAY THAT YOU WOULD GO 10% ACROSS THE BOARD

AND THAT'S IT. >> THAT'S A GRANT FUND THAT WILL END IN 2024 AND IN 2024, IT WOULD BE A SIGNIFICANTLY MILLION

DOLLARS HIT TO THE GENERAL FUND. >> IN TWO AREAS, YEARS, HOWD THOSE DOLLARS? YOU'RE KICKING THE CAN DOWN THE

ROAD. >> AND I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT, JUDGE, THE THREE OF YOU HAVE TO FIGURE THIS OUT, BUT I'M JUST ASKING QUESTIONS AND THAT'S A FAIR STATEMENT YOU'RE MAKING.

BUT WHAT WAS REPRESENTED TO ME, THIS WAS WORKED OUT WITH DALE, WITH THE ROAD AND BRIDGE FUND AND SOMETHING ELSE AND I'M NOT -- SOMETHING CHANGED AND THAT DIDN'T GET ARTICULATED TO THE D.A. AND THE CONTUSION WAS THAT.

CONFUSION WAS THAT.

IT WAS CAPITAL EXPENSES AND THAT WAS BEFORE WE CAME IN AND PASSED THE HEALTH INSURANCE INCREASE OF 1.5 AND THAT DID AWAY WITH THAT AND THERE'S STILL SOME ADDITIONAL FUNDS THERE, POSSIBLY, IF I REDUCE SOME OF THE COSTS FROM 10% TO 5% FOR MAJORITY OF THE ATTORNEYS AND THAT GIVES THEM A LITTLE BIT AND I CAN REDUCE THAT FROM 4 4% TOA LITTLE LOWER TO $200,000 IF

THAT'S THE WILL OF THE COURT. >> YEAH, MINE, YOU I MEAN,R IS TO BITE THE BULLET IN TWO FISCAL YEARS.

IF YOU WANT TO GIVE RAISES AND 10% IS THE NUMBER AND THAT'S WHAT THEY'VE ASKED FOR, YOU DOAO 5% TO GENERAL FUND AND 5% TO

ARPA -- >> SO THEY GET THEIR TEN IN A

DIFFERENT WAY. >> THEY'LL GET TEN IN A

DIFFERENT WAY. >> IT COULD PRO IT WOULD C.

>> I KNOW, COMMISSIONER -- >> E HAVE WE HAVE TO STAY ON Y SCHEDULE. IT'S FOR EVERYONE, SO IT HAS TO

BE WITH OUR 10%. >> WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?

>> 5% OR 10% AND OUR PAY SCHEDULE FOR OUR PROFESSIONALS

ARE BROKEN DOWN THAT WAY. >> ONE MORE TIME AND GOING FAST.

>> 6% BECAUSE OR PAY SCHEDULE FOR OUR PROFESSIONALS ARE BETWEEN GROUPS OF 5% AND STEPS IS 2.5% AND UNLESS YOU DO EVERYONE AT 6%, I CAN'T JUST DO THE D.A.

>> JUDGE, WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS DO THE 5 NOW AND 5 WITH ARPA

NOW? >> YES, BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO BITE

THE BULLET AT SOME POINT. >> IT GIVES YOU TWO YEARS AND IF YOU GET INTO TROUBLE -- BY THE WAY, FOR ALL OF YOU STILL WITH US OUT THERE IN TV LAND AND I DON'T THINK WE'RE BROADCASTING, BUT MAYBE ON ZOOM, WE ARE. THAT'S GOOD, OVERTIME, BUT, FOR ALL OF YOU NOT A PART OF D.A. OFFICE, WHAT ABOUT ME AND THE VALUE I BRING TO THIS COUNTY, I THINK WE SHOULD LOOK AT ALL OF THIS ON, YOU KNOW -- WE SHOULD LOOK AT THIS FOR THE PEOPLE THAE ASKED LIKE THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE AND ME OFFICE.

[09:05:03]

THERE'S MANY WAYS THAT AMERICAN RELIEF PLAN ACT CAN HELP AND IF YOU ALL REMEMBER, WE'RE SUPPOSED TO HAVE THIS BIG WORKSHOP AND THE CONCEPT HERE WAS THAT WE WOULD TAKE IT TO THE PUBLIC SO THAT THE PUBLIC -- SO THAT WE COULD INTRODUCE THESE CONCEPTS TO THE PUBLIC AND LET THE PUBLIC GIVE US FEEDBACK.

SO NOBODY COMES TO ANY PUBLIC HEARINGS AND NOBODY EVEN PARTICIPATES IN ANY SETTLE T WAY, WE'RE GOING TO THE PUBLIC.

I DON'T REMEMBER THE DATE, AND WE'VE CREATED THREE OR FOUR DIFFERENT FOCUS GROUPS AND WE'VE BEEN GETTING ACCEPTANCES EVERYDAY. TO PARTICIPATE.

SO ALL OF THESE ARE THINGS THAT CAN COME UP BEFORE OCTOBER 1, DALE, SO IT DOESN'T MESS YOU UP ON PAYROLL OR A NEW FISCAL YEAR.

BUT IT SEEMS THAT, YOU KNOW, I KNOW IT SOUNDS EASY, TO CONTINGENCY CONTINGENCIES, BUT SPLIT YOUR TIME, BUT YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS.

>> WITH THAT, I WOULD LIKE TO SUBMIT THE BUDGET AS PRESENTED WITH THE SMALL AMENDMENTS OF WHAT I PRESENT TO YOU, INCLUDING THE RAISES FOR THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY AT THE PERCENTAGE AT 413,000 WITH HALF THAT COST FROM THE TRANSFER IN FROMMASM FS

AND YOUR ACCEPTANCE. >> AND I HAVE A HAND RAISED JUST

>> SO GOOD EVENING AND THANK YOU ALL FOR STAYING SO LATE TO TRY TO RESOLVE ALL OF THIS. I'M KIND OF LATE TO THE SHOW, BUT I GUESS I WAS IN A MISUNDERSTANDING.

I ASKED MARK TO TRY TO GET ON ZOOM, AS WELL.

WHEN WE MET WITH DARRYL, WE WERE UNDERSTANDING THE IMPRESSION THAT THERE WOULD BE AN ABILITY TO ACCOMMODATE THE REQUESTS BY LOOKING AT THE CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATIONS AND THE ROAD AND BRIDGE FUND AND IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING CHANGED IN BETWEEN HERE AND THERE, IS WHAT I'M HEARING AND I CAN'T HEAR VERY WELL, BUT SOMETHING CHANGED. AND SO, I'M KIND OF AT A LOSS NOW ABOUT WHERE WE ARE, WHAT WE NEED TO DO AND WE'VE TRIED DILIGENTLY, AND I CAN UNDERSTAND YOUR FRUSTRATION, JUDGE.

I MEAN, I WAS SURPRISED WE WERE THE OWN PEOPLE AT THE PUBLIC HEARINGS, TRYING TO REALLY PARTICIPATE IN THE BUDGET STUFF.

>> YOU CALM CAME AT THE BEST. THE ROAD AND BRIDGE FUND AND THE COS WILL GO AND HELP. WE HAD AN EXTRA 1.$4 MILLION SITUATION WITH REGARDS TO OUR HEALTH INSURANCE AND SO THOSE DOLLARS ARE GOING TO BE AUTO LOSED BE UTILIZED. IT'S THE SAME TO YOU, BUT FOR US, IT'S GRABBING THE DOLLARS FROM A DIFFERENT BUCKET.

>> SO DOES THIS MEAN, IS IT THE ORGANIZE FAL PROPOSAL WE ORIGINAL PROPOSAL? I KNOW COMMISSIONER GONZALEZ HAD

BEEN TALKING ABOUT THAT EARLIER? >> THE COLA?

>> OR IS IT THE PROPOSAL? >> THE ONE YOU SUBMITTED, I

BELIEVE. >> THE ONE YOU AND I WORKED UP THE BALANCES ON TRANSFERRING THE BALANCES AND CREATING YOUR FELONY CHIEF AND MISDEMEANOR CHIEF AND HAVING YOUR SECOND ASSISTANT, ITEMS THAT YOU AND I WORKED TOGETHER WITH AND THE

ITEMS PRESENTED AND PROPOSED? >> THE TOTAL AMOUNT, DALE, IS

WHAT? >> THE TOTAL AMOUNT IS 413,000 FOR THE GENERAL FUND AND THAT WILL BE SPLIT BETWEEN GENERAL AND ARPA AND THE MAJORITY WILL GET A 10% RAISE AND IT'S GOING FROM ADMIN SECRETARY ONE TO TWO AND MAJORITY IS THE 10%.

>> AND LET ME JUST POINT OUT, YOU ARE THE BIG WINNER AND I SAY YOU BECAUSE YOU'VE BEEN HERE ADVOCATING ON BEHALF OF HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE IN YOUR STAFF? HOW MANY LAWYERS.

>> ALMOST 100. >> 100 LAWYERS?

>> BETWEEN THE CLERICAL AND ATTORNEYS, EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE

NOT ALL ON THERE. >> JUST TO BE SUPER CLEAR, YOU

[09:10:04]

ARE THE BIG WINNER, BECAUSE NOT ONLY ARE YOU GOING TO GET THOSE RAISES IF THIS PASSES HERE SHORTLY, BUT YOU HAD FIVE OF THOSE FOLKS GET TRANSFERRED TO GENERAL FUND AND EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A PROMISE, SORT OF, FROM THE CHAPTER 59, IT STILL REQUIRES $117,957 COMMITMENT FROM US AND THAT'S FOR THE PRETRIAL INTERVENTION PROGRAM, DEPARTMENT 123 AND THEN THERE'S THE PREVIOUS ADJUSTMENTS THAT WE MADE THAT WE'RE HONORING FROM THE JUVENILE TO THE FELONY AND THEN, THERE'S THE $10,000 SUPPLEMENT THAT WE WORKED OUT OT TODAY AND IT'S A BUDGETED POSITION IN THIS NEW BUDGET AND YOU GET ALL OF THIS AND, YOU KNOW, NOBODY ELSE GETS ANYTHING ELSE SO FAR.

AND SO I HOPE THAT YOU'LL BE BACK UP HERE ADVOCATE FOR EVERYBODY ELSE, BECAUSE THIS COURTHOUSE DOESN'T WORK UNLESS WE ALL WORK TOGETHER. AND I AM A LITTLE CRANKY BECAUSE WE'RE DOING ALL THIS DESPITE THE FACT WE GOT $500,000 LESS THAN WE NEEDED FROM THE TAX RATE AND SO, YOU KNOW, WE KEPT OUR PROMISE AND IT'S GOING TO HURT US, BUT WE'RE GOING TO FIGURE IT OUT AND I PRAY TO GOD WE DON'T NEED A DAMN CONTINGENCIES TO MAKE IT RIGHT. IF WE DON'T HAVE THESE DOLLARS, IT HURTS THE CASH RESERVES AND THE CASH RESERVES NEED TO BE KEPT WHOLE SO WE CAN KEEP THIS COUNTY RUNNING.

I GUESS IT'S A WIN OVERALL FOR THE COUNTY BECAUSE IT MEANS THAT THE PEOPLE THAT ARE WORRIED ABOUT LAW AND ORDER WILL BE HAPPIER, BUT HONESTLY, I DON'T THINK, YOU KNOW, ANYBODY IS REALLY HAPPY AND MAYBE THAT'S THE SIGN OF MORE WORK THAT'S

NEEDED, YOU KNOW. >> SHOULD IT PASS, I KNOW YOU ALL PUT IN A LOT OF WORK AND I'M GRATEFUL.

I FEEL, OBVIOUSLY, IT'S BITTERSWEET, BECAUSE WE DO STAND WITH THE OTHER DEPARTMENTS AND WE ALL WORK TOGETHER AS A TEAM TO ACCOMPLISH SO MUCH. BUT I'M VERY GRATEFUL FOR YOU ALL'S CONTINUED SUPPORT AND CONSIDERATION FOR THE WORK THAT YOU HAVE DONE AND I CAN'T EXPRESS IT ENOUGH WITH ALL SINCERITY. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU FOR THE COMMENTS AND SO I GUESS WE NEED TO LOOK AT THE AGENDA ITEMS AND SEE HOW THAT'S WORDED AND GIVE ME A SECOND. WE NEED TO DISCUSS DIDN'T CONSIDER AND CONSIDER THE ADOPTION OF THE BUDGET.

IS THERE A MOTION TO CONSIDER THE BUDGET AS THE AUDITOR AS

PRESENTED IT WITH THE CAVEAT -- >> YES.

>> DO WE NEED A MOTION BEFORE THE BUDGET?

>> THE WAY DALE READ IT -- >> GO AHEAD.

>> AS LONG WE DO THE AMENDMENT TO THE PROPOSED BUDGET RATE, THEN IT QUALIFIES AS A ONE-TIME ONLY AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING SEPARATELY, UNLESS YOU CHOOSE TO DO SO.

>> WE'RE GOING TO DO IT LIKE GRANT MONEY.

>> IT WILL BE FOR THE RAISES, BUT NOT THE TRANSFER FUNDS TO

COVER. >> A TRANSFER AS A GRANT.

IF YOU NEED US TO DO ANYTHING FOR THAT TRANSFER, WE CAN DO IT

ON MONDAY, MAYBE? >> THE ONLY REASON I'LL WORK WITH THE COUNTY ATTORNEY, THIS IS FEDERAL FUNDS, THEY LIKE MORE OF THE LOCAL TRANSFER AND THE WEIRD EXPENSE NAMES AND IT WILL BE PROCESSED CORRECTLY AND SUBINSURANCE FUND AND IT'S A PROPRIETARY FUND AND IF WE MOVE MONEY, IT'S THE COUNTY.

>> GOT IT. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THE FUNDS ARE THERE TO COVER THAT HALF OF THE COST.

>> RIGHT. AND THERE IS A MOTION AND I'LL MAKE THAT MOTION AND IS THERE A SECOND?

>> SECOND. >> THERE'S A SECOND.

AND ALL THOSE -- RECORD VOTE. SO COMMISSIONER HERNANDEZ?

>> MAKE A MOTION. >> DO YOU VOTE AYE OR NAY.

[09:15:01]

>> AYE. >> COMMISSIONER.

>> AYE. >> CHESNEY.

>> NO. >> THE BUDGET, IT REQUIRED A

RECORD VOTE. >> NO, I SAID NO THE FIRST TIME.

>> AND THEN MYSELF, THE JUDGE IS AYE.

>> HE SAID -- HE CHANGED HIS VOTE AND SAYS NO.

BECAUSE THE FIRST ONE WAS THE RATE AND THE SECOND WAS THE BUDGET AND SO THAT CONCLUDES THE BUDGET PROCESS AS FAR AS ALL OF THE BELLS AND WHISTLES WITH THE PROPER LANGUAGE, PROCEDURE, ORDERS AND HAVE I MISSED ANYTHING THAT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED AND I KNOW I HAVE TO GO BACK TO ITEM -- THE BURN BAND, BUT IS THERE ANYTHING ON THIS?

>> SO, I SAID THIS EARLIER AND IT'S JUST IN MY EXPERIENCE, WE VOTE AND I KNOW THIS IS GOING TO BE A DIFFERENT BUDGET BECAUSE DALE HAS TO DO SOME WORK AFTER THE FACT, BUT, YOU KNOW, THE MEDIA DOES A GOOD JOB IN RESEARCHING EVERYTHING AND REALLY LYING OUT WHAT WAS GIVEN OR NOT GIVEN DURING THIS BUDGET.

SO WHAT'S OUT THERE, BASED ON OUR VOTE ONLY MAKING UP THAT $500,000 DIFFERENCE, WHAT ELSE IS OUT THERE, COMES TOMORROW MORNING WHEN PEOPLE READ THE PAPER, THEY'LL SAY THIS IS WHAT

HAPPENED. >> THE PROPOSED BUDGET THAT WAS FILED HAS EVERYTHING INCLUDED AND THE ONLY THING IT DOES NOT HAVE WERE THE SMALL AMENDMENTS FOR THE ELECTION DIVISION AND THOSE ARE THE DISTRICT COURTS, AS WELL AS THE INCREASES FOR THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY, WITH FUNDING COMING FROM THE ARPA AND THE REDUCTION OF THE TAX REVENUE FROM 3.7 MILLION TO 3 MILLION WITH THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 3.4 TO 3%.

THOSE ARE THE ONLY CHANGES THAT WILL BE COMPARED TO THE PROPOSED

BUDGET. >> DAUGHTER DARRYL, YOU SAIDK AND I THOUGHT IT WASN'T AFFECTING THE PUBLIC.

>> IT DOESN'T, IT'S NET OUT. (INAUDIBLE).

>> THAT WAS ORIGINALLY PRESENTED TO THEM.

I PRESENTED IT TO THEM BEFORE. (INAUDIBLE).

>> GOING FROM 20 TO 21 AND SENIOR ARC ARC ADMIN CLERK,E BOOK AND IT'S AN AMENDMENT. IT'S IN THE BOOK.

>> YOU'RE ANOTHER WITHINNER E PRICE IS RIGHT TODAY.

THE SQUEAKY WHEEL GETS THE GREASE AND THE LESSON LEARNED HERE, THE MORAL OF THE STORY IS ADVOCATE.

>> I ADVOCATE TO GO HOME. >> ALMOST, WE HAVE ONE MORE BURN BAN SITUATION AND WE NEEDED TO FIX THE BURN BAN AND THERE WAS A REQUEST BY THE COUNTY ATTORNEY WE TAKE A LOOK AT THIS AGAIN AND LET ME REOPEN REGULAR AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 29, PLEASE, AND ASK

[29. Discuss and consider adopting an Order prohibiting outdoor burning in the unincorporated areas of Nueces County, pursuant to Section 352.081 of the Texas Local Government Code.]

THAT WE RECONSIDER THE VERBIAGE AND LEAVE THE OR ORDER THE WAT WAS ESTABLISHED AND CAN REVISIT AFTER 30 DAYS.

>> THE FIRST MEETING IN OCTOBER. >> REVISIT THE FIRST MEETING IN OCTOBER AND I'LL ASK FOR A SECOND.

AND THIS IS FOR THE AMENDMENT. A SO THIS WILL STAY STILL ANL

THOSE IN FAVOR, AYE. >> AND ALSO WOULD LIKE TO

[4.

ANNOUNCE, IN CASE YOU'RE WATCHING THE EXECUTIVE SESSION A AND B IS MOVED TO MONDAY AND I WOULD LIKE THE COURT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT. AND A SECOND TO TABLE IT TO SEPTEMBER 13TH, IT'S A MONDAY. AND ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, AYE.

[09:20:05]

SO THOSE WILL GO ON THE 13TH, AS WELL, GUYS.

>> I MOTIONED AND HE SECONDED IT.

>> WE WERE FAST. AND THEN LET'S GET A LITTLE BIT SOLEMN HERE FOR A MINUTE AND MOVE TO THE LAST ITEM, WHICH IS THE ADJOURNMENT, BUT BEFORE WE DO THAT, LET ME EXPRESS A LITTLE GRATITUDE FOR A VERY LONG DAY AND FOR THE WILLINGNESS OF MANY TO DISCUSS AT LENGTH AND FOR DALE AND HIS OFFICE.

LISA, HOW MANY TIMES YOU RUN BACK THERE AND CHANGE NUMBERS AND WE MUCH VERY APPRECIATE THAT.

WISH WE HAD MEATLOAF OR SOMETHING TO OFFER, BUT NOTHING BUT A HAM SANDWICH BACK THERE. AND, AGAIN, THE COUNTY ATTORNEY FOR JUST THE VIGILANCE AND TAKING ALL OF THE PROCEDURAL STUFF WHICH IS SO IMPORTANT AND WE NEED SOMETHING TO KEEP AN EYE OUT AND TO HER AND FRANCISCO, THANK YOU.

CONNIE FOR RUNNING THE CAMERAS SUPER LATE AND TERESA, IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING, WITHOUT PUTTING ALL OF THIS TOGETHER, I CAN'T ADVOCATE AND I KNOW THE NUMBERS BECAUSE YOU KNOW THE NUMBERS AND YOU HELP ME ADVOCATE WITH THE AUDITOR IN A WAY THAT MAKES IT POSSIBLE THAT WE CAN DO MORE WITH LESS EVERY SINGLE YEAR.

I DON'T KNOW HOW WE DO IT. AND LISA, TOO, YEAH, .

AND THE CLERKS FOR PUTTING UP WITH US TODAY.

EVERYBODY DID THE WORK, SO HAVING SAID THAT, LET'S MOVE
