[1. Discuss and consider authorizing a Foreign Trade Zone agreement with the Port of Aransas, and related matters.]

IT IS STATED ON PORT OF RANDS AS IT IS NOT COURT OF RANDS THIS IS ARANSAS TERMINAL.

FOR THE FOREIGN TRADE AGREEMENT, MR. MOORHOUSE IS HERE IF ANY OF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

THIS IS BEEN ONGOING FOR A LONG TIME, THE DISCUSSION FOR BACK-AND-FORTH, IT'S A BENEFIT TO NUECES COUNTY.

THERE IS NO COST WE WOULD BE RECEIVING SOMETHING MINIMAL WHATEVER FUNDS FOR THAT.

I WOULD MAKE THE MOTION TO PASS IF THERE'S NO OTHER DISCUSSIONS. MR. MOORHOUSE IS HERE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR HIM.

HE HAS AN AGREEMENT 3A ONE, HAS ANOTHER FOREIGN TRADE AGREEMENT FOREIGN TRADE ZONES YOU HAVE THIS ITEM.

I AMBER MOORHOUSE AND AVENUE A COMPANY CALLED ARANSAS TERMINAL THAT OPERATES A PRIVATE MARINE TERMINAL IN HARBOUR ISLAND.

WERE SEEKING A LEVEL OF NON- OBJECTION FROM THE COUNTY AS REQUIRED BY THE GOVERNMENT FOR ALL FOREIGN TRADE ZONES. WE HAVE COMPLETED PRECEDING A LETTER OF NOT OBJECTION FROM ALL OF THE REST OF THE TAXING AUTHORITIES THAT HAVE JURISDICTION ON HARBOUR ISLAND EXCEPT FOR THE POSSIBLE DISTRICT AND WE TALKED ABOUT THAT SOME TIME AGO SINCE IT WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO IT IS DESIRE LOCALLY, THAT IS MAINLY IT. MOST OF OUR CARGO IS WIND TURBINE COMPONENTS AND OUR CUSTOMERS HAVE BEGAN TO CHANGE IN THE LAST YEAR OFTEN THEY ARE REEXPORTED THEY NEED TO BE STORED IN A FOREIGN TRADE ZONE UNTIL THEY CAN BE TAKEN TO BELIEVE IT OR NOT CANDIDA WE ARE A PATHWAY TO CANADA.

THERE IS A LOT OF GUTS FOR THE FEDERAL BUT WE HAVE A YOU HAVE AN APPROVAL BUT WE JUST NEED A LOVER OF NOT OBJECTION FROM THE COUNTY AND YOU ARE NOT AN NUECES COUNTY.

SINCE ITS CONFIDENTIAL. >> THE ONE ON THE CONFIDENTIAL PACKET IS THE ONE THEY CAME FROM OUR OFFICE. IT IS FINE.

>> THAT WAS BECAUSE OF ATTORNEY-CLIENT BUT IT WAS NOT A CONFIDENTIAL PIECE THAT IS THE REASON WE ARE DISCUSSING UNLESS YOU HAVE SOME QUESTIONS.

>> THE DIFFERENCE WE RECEIVE NOTHING WITH THIS AGREEMENT THAT'S NOT GOING TO BE ANYTHING

BIG. >> I HOPE YOU DO WE PROPOSE THIS PILOT AGREEMENT AND WE ASKED OF THEM FROM THE ENTITIES.

WITH THAT IT WAS APPROPRIATE TO AUTHOR SOMETHING AND ANY GOODS GOING INTO THE FOREIGN TRADE AND DISTRIBUTING THEM TO THE PROPORTION

TAX FOR THE ENTITIES. >> THAT'S WHAT I WAS WONDERING I THINK THEY WERE WONDERING HOW IT WORKS WITH OTHER PORTS IN THE COMING OF THAT.

>> IS THIS A STANDARD, COMPARABLE.

RECEIVING. >> THAT'S WHAT NEEDED TO

BE PUT ON THE RECORD. >> I TALKED TO YOU SIX MONTH AGO AT LEAST ON THIS BUT I WAS SURPRISED WHEN IT WAS BACK ON AND I THOUGHT BRANDT WAS THE ONE PUSHING THE SUN. SOMEBODY PUT IT ON.

AS A COURT. >> YOU HAVE THE ORIGINAL

LIST. >> I DO.

>> I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW THERE IS 6 MILLION LEFT OF THE 50 BECAUSE I THOUGHT WE ASSIGNED IT ALL BUT MAYBE NOT.

>> THE FIRST COLUMN IS 50 MILLION THAT IS THE TOTAL OF ALL THE PROJECT BUDGETS AND FROM THE AMOUNT THAT YOU HAD INDIVIDUALLY YOU CREATED NEW PROJECTS. I HAVE A SECOND SHEET THAT I CAN PROBABLY SHOW THE DETAIL.

>> IF YOU COULD, THIS IS GETTING CLEAR BUT I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THERE'S ANY LEFT OVER FROM 21 BECAUSE I THOUGHT WE VOTED TO ASSIGN EVERY PENNY OF THE 50.

DIFFERENT PROJECTS. >> THAT MONEY WOULD NOT

BE IN THE SIX. >> AND TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHY THERE IS SIX OR SEVEN.

LIKE YOU SAID IN THAT INSTANCE IT GOT REALLOCATED BECAUSE WE ENDED UP DOING EMMY WITH ARPA SO WE TOOK THE MONEY FROM SEO BECAUSE WE COULD DO WITH ARPA AND MOVE IT TO THE

PROJECTS. >> I THINK THE ROOF WAS EVEN ON THE LIST ORIGINALLY.

>> A SMALL PORTION. >> IF YOU CAN PROVIDE THE SECOND SHEET THAT IS WHAT IS CONFUSING ME I REMEMBER TAKING AND REALLOCATING BUT YOU SAY THERE'S SIX OR 7 MILLION ASSIGNED AND I'M NOT ABLE TO GARNER FROM TH THIS.

[13. Discuss and consider updating the Commissioner's Court Policies and related matters.]

THE ATTACHMENT THERE ARE SEVERAL THINGS WITH THIS

[01:05:01]

>> DID YOU GET THE HIGHLIGHTED COPY, IN THE BACK THE SECOND PAGE HAS ITEM C OR COURT MANAGER HAS TO BE REVIEWED BY THE COUNTY JUDGE OR COURT MANAGER. WE DON'T HAVE A COURT MANAGER ANYMORE SO ITEMS BY OTHER ELECTED OFFICIALS ARE DEPARTMENT HEADS, YOUR TO GIVE ME THAT AUTHORITY A LONG TIME AGO.

THE SECOND LINE SAYS THE COMMISSIONERS COURT MANAGER SHALL APPROVE THE FINAL AGENDA AS TO FORM SINCE WE DO NOT HAVE A COMMISSIONERS COURT MANAGER APPROVE AS DEFORMED WITHOUT WORDING

TAKEN OUT. >> THE SECOND PAGE HAS THE ITEM NUMBER FIVE THOSE WERE HIGHLIGHTED IN MY COPY THOSE WERE NOT OUR EDITS THAT'S A LATEST ONE FROM OUR OFFICE WE VOTED ON THESE AND MADE CHANGES ON THESE BUT THEY NEVER GET SIGN AND WE DON'T GET TO HIS DOCUMENT HAVE FIVE HE HAD THE HIGHLIGHTED PORTION THAT WE WOULD WANT TO ADDRESS WHETHER WE WANT TO CONTINUE OR

NOT. >> IT IS A CONSTITUTIONAL COURT I DON'T KNOW WHY THERE HIGHLIGHTED THESE TWO. YOU DON'T NEED THAT REMINDER TO THE PUBLIC. WE COULD TAKE THAT OUT IS NOT REALLY NECESSARY. PAGE THREE OF 12 IT IS WHAT IT IS YOU DON'T NEED TO REMIND PEOPLE

THAT. >> THAT IS COMING OUT.

ON NUMBER FIVE IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING JU

JUDGE. >> IT'S IT IS MOVING IT FROM. CHARLES: FIVE THAT IS MOVING THAT THAT WAS NOT FOR MINE.

>> FOR THE FOLLOWING BUSINESS DAY WE HAVE THAT SCRATCHED OUT, IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WE CAN LEGALLY DO I THOUGHT IT HAD TO BE THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY OR YOU HAD TO REPOST.

>> I'M NOT SURE WHY THAT IS STRUCK OUT IT WOULD NEED TO BE THE NEXT DAY OR THE FOLLOWING BUSINESS DAY. PUT THAT BACK AND THERE'S A LINE THROUGH IT.

>> IS THIS WHERE WE ADDED THE ONES.

AS I HAVE ALL THE ADS. >> IF YOU LOOK ON THE LAST PAGE 11 OF 12 ON MISCELLANEOUS.

>> THAT'S WHERE THE STUFF WAS ADDED.

>> ONTO. CAN WE BRING UP THE OTHER ONE THAT WE THEN TALK ABOUT.

>> THE ONLY THING THAT MY OFFICE DID WAS ANY REFERENCE TO COURT MANAGER WAS TAKEN OUT AND PUT COUNTY JUDGE OR THE REQUEST HAS TO BE SUBMITTED ELECTRONICALLY TO THE AGENDA EVERYBODY KNOWS THE POLICY EIGHT DAYS OUT BEFORE A MEETING WE WOULD LIKE EVERYBODY TO BE REMINDED SO WE START FOLLOWING THE POLICY AND CONTINUE WITH THAT. IF THERE'S ANYTHING FROM YOUR OFFICE THAT NEEDS TO BE HIGHLIGHTED BACKUP MATERIAL SHOULD BE READY AT THE DESIGNATED DEADLINES COMMISSIONERS COURT AND THE OTHER AGENDA ITEMS FROM OTHER DEPARTMENTS AND ELECTED OFFICIALS YOU HAVE A DEADLINE WHEN YOU SUBMIT WE NEED TO KNOW YOU HAVE A BACKUP COMMISSIONERS COURT BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE EXCLUSIVE AND SAME AUTHORITY TO ADD SOMETHING TO THE AGENDA YOURS IS PAST THE DEADLINE 5:00 O'CLOCK ON

[01:10:08]

>> ALSO THAT I POINT OUT THAT THERE IS A PART OF THE POLICY THAT YOU ARE ADOPTING AND RATIFYING TODAY AND WE WOULD LOVE EVERYBODY TO NOTICE ON PAGE FIVE OF TWO ALL CONTRACT AGREEMENTS NEED TO BE FORWARDED TO THE COUNTY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE AS TO LEGAL SUFFICIENCY PARTICIPATING IN AGENDA ITEM AND THERE'S A POLICY THAT WE WORKED VERY CLOSELY WITH MICHAEL ROBINSON IN PURCHASING SO WE HAVE A WONDERFUL FLOW AND WE NEED PEOPLE TO BRING PAGE FIVE SCHEDULE FOR SUBMISSION OF AN AGENDA ITEM REQUEST.

ALL CONTRACTS NO LEEWAY IN MOSCOW COULD BE COUNTY ATT THE ONE THING I ASKED HARVEY LOOKS AT THOSE BEFORE I SIGN MY NAME IS NOT A MAYBE IF IT'S AN AMENDMENT OR AN EXTENSION IS STILL HAS TO GO TO SEE IF ANY WORDING COULD'VE CHANGED OR TWEAKED WE LIKE FOR THEM GOT PLENTY OF TIME WE HOPE THIS WILL HELP ALL OF US THERE IS NO THESE MEETINGS GO QUICKER DROPS ON THE INDIVIDUAL FROM THAT THE COMMISSIONERS COURT ON THE COUNTY JUDGE'S OFFICE I'M INSTRUCTING OFFICE. WE DO NOT MESS WITH YOUR ITEMS OR CHANGE OR SEND THEM TO THE ATTORNEY FOR LOOKING UP THAT'S ON YOU AS A DEPARTMENT HEAD OR ELECTED OFFICIAL TO TAKE THAT DO NOT EXCEPT FOR THIS GROUP WERE ALL AUTHORIZED TO PLACE ON THE AGENDA. PAGE 11 IS WHERE.

>> BACK INTO THE BOARD AGENDA ITEM I SUBMITTED LAST MEETING AND EVERYBODY ONE MORE TIME I DID TWEAK IT AS ANYBODY HAS FURTHER TWEAKS IS OPEN AND TRANSPARENT WAS PROVIDED AS BACKUP AND IT WOULD INCLUDE THE BOARD OF MANAGERS IN CORPUS CHRISTI, I WOULD INCLUDE SPAWN ON THIS ONE FOR NOW UNTIL WE DECIDE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN ON THAT THOSE ARE ALL HIGH-PROFILE BOARDS, EVERY WORD IS IMPORTANT AND I DON'T THINK WE CAN DO IT WITH EVERY BOARD, STARTED WITH THOSE AND CHANGED WERE ANY COMMISSIONER JUDGE MAY REQUEST THE PUBLIC INTERVIEW THE APPLICANT IN OPEN COURT SESSION, THAT WOULD MEAN IF WE HAVE 10 APPLICANTS AND YOU WANT TO INTERVIEW THEM ALL, COMMISSIONER 13, COMMISSIONER GONZALEZ, THEY ALL GET INTERVIEW THE ALGA INTERVIEW.

ONCE INTERVIEW IS DONE IN OPEN SESSION AND COMPLETE EACH JUDGE CAN NOMINATE ONE CANDIDATE TO PUT ON THE WHITEBOARD SOMEBODY EARLY NOT NOMINATED. SO I WOULD NOT APPOINT THE SAME PERSON SO WE WOULD HAVE FIVE DIFFERENT CANDIDATES EACH COMMISSIONER JUDGE .THERE IS A TYPE BETWEEN THE TWO AND ONLY ONE SPOT THAN THOSE GOING TO THE NEXT ROUND AND EACH MEMBER GETS ONE VOTE IN THE CANDIDATE MUST HAVE THREE VOTES TO GET APPOINTMENT IT'S A SIMPLE AS I CAN COME UP WITH AND IF YOU HAVE SUGGESTIONS LET ME KNOW I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO SEE IF WE CAN HAVE A DISCUSSION ON.

ALSO GET THE MOTION WE WOULD LIKE A LITTLE MORE WERE SHOW ME HOW IT WORKS.

IT'S KIND OF CONFUSING CAN WE DO SOMETHING SILLY LIKE VOTE FOR YOUR BEST DISNEY CHARACTER.

IF WE ALL VOTE FOR NAME THE PROBLEM.

>> THEN WE HAVE THREE VOTES ALREADY HALFWAY

[01:15:04]

>> IF WE EACH PUT AN AMEN.

>> HAS TO BE A DIFFERENT NAME.

>> THAT WAS MY CONFUSION.

IN WHICHEVER WAY YOU MIGHT AS WILL QUIT.

>> THAT'S WHY SAYS NOT SOMEONE ALREADY NOMINATED, I PUT THAT IN THERE BECAUSE THERE'S NO

POINT. >> I TRIED TO CLEAR THIS UP FROM THE INPUT FROM THE LAST SESSION THAT WAY YOU CANNOT NOMINATE THE SAME PERSON ON THE FIRST-ROUND AND THEN YOU HAVE TWO VOTES LET'S HAVE ONE SPOT AVAILABLE IF THERE'S TWO PEOPLE TYPE OR ONE SPOT IT COULD BE THREE LET'S GO TO THE NEXT ROUND EVERYBODY GETS ONE VOTE ON ME OR YOU HAVE A DIFFERENT SUGGESTION WHERE WE CAN DO THESE INTERVIEWS MOST EVERYBODY HAS EXPRESSLY ENTERED WITH AN INCLINATION TO WANT TO INTERVIEW.

I THINK IT'S GREAT WE CAN FIND OUT WHAT QUALIFICATIONS THESE PEOPLE HAVE THE REPORTING ON THESE EXTREMELY IMPORTANT BOARDS. ESPECIALLY WITH THE BOARD COMING UP IN WITH AS MANY PEOPLE ON THIS COMMISSION TO HEAR FROM THEM BASED ON THOSE INTERVIEWS EVERYONE CAN VOTE.

>> I MADE THE SUGGESTIONS AND CHANGED IT UP, I GOT SOME MORE. BRING THEM ON.

I'M INTERESTED IN HEARING THEM.

>> IDIOTIC QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSIONS.

>> THIS INTERVIEW WILL BE DONE WITH THE MEETING BEFORE THE SELECTION? IF WE DO IT BEFORE THE ELECTIONS IN THE MEETING BEFORE YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE AN IDEA WHAT YOU HAVE.

>> SAY THAT AGAIN. >> ANYTIME WE'VE DONE PICS FOR INTERVIEWS YOU NECK I LIKE PEOPLE TO COME UP AND TELL US WHY THEY WANT TO BE PART OF BOARD THAT THEY APPLY FOR.

I LIKE TO HEAR WHAT THEY HAVE AND WHAT THEY WANTED Y TO DO. I WOULD MAKE SURE THERE'S AN ELECTION BEFORE THE SELECTION I WANT TO MAKE THAT CLEAR THAT THAT IS NOT WHAT THE PERCEPTION WILL BE THIS GUY HAS TWO VOTES IN THE SKY COMING BACK AGAIN WITH THE SAME THREE SO EVERYBODY GETS ONE MORE VOTE TO NEVER GOING TO VOTE FOR THE ONE YOU PERSONS WHATEVER

IT IS. >> SO WE CANNOT DO IT THE SAME DAY WITH THAT BE BETTER IN EACH ONE OF US AND WE KNOW WHO YOUR APPOINTMENT IS GOING TO BE TO HAVE THEIR INTERVIEWS.

>> WE CANNOT DO THE SAME PERSON IS WHAT I'M SAYING YOU CAN CONTACT YOUR PERSON.

>> THE THEORY WOULD BE THAT THEY APPLY WE GET THE APPLICATIONS LIKE ANYTHING ELSE WE HAVE TO MAKE IT TIMES OR WERE THEY HAVE TO BE IN AND WE WOULD ALL REVIEW THE APPLICATIONS AND WE WOULD LET WHOEVER TERESA OR WHOEVER AND EVERYBODY COULD SUBMIT TO AN ADVANCE WHERE THEY WOULD GET PLENTY OF NOTICE THAT THAT THEY WOULD BE THE DAY THAT THEY, AND THEY DON'T SHOW UP.

>> THERE WILL BE FIVE PEOPLE HERE FOR

INTERVIEWS. >> IT COULD BE 10.

>> IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE LIMITED TO ONE PERSON.

>> NO IF YOU WANT TO HEAR FROM THREE PEOPLE BECAUSE YOU'RE UNDECIDED THAT WOULD BE GOOD TO TO BE UNDECIDED ON SOME OF. YOU COULD PICK AS MANY

AS YOU WANT. >> COMMISSIONER WHAT I UNDERSTAND YOU MAY SUBMIT NAMES TO INTERVIEW AT A CERTAIN POINT AND THEN WE COULD HAVE ANOTHER ROUND. WE DO NOT AGREE ON SOME

OF THOSE FOLK. >> APPLICATIONS WOULD COME IN WE WOULD ALL FIVE GET SENT THE APPLICATION AND ALL OF US WOULD BE ABLE TO PICK WHOEVER FROM THE LIST THAT WE WANT TO INTERVIEW AND THOSE INTERVIEWS WOULD BE SET UP AGAIN TERESA OR WHOEVER, WHATEVER AND

[01:20:03]

ALL DIFFERENT PEOPLE THAT WAY UNTIL THE VOTE HAPPENS WE KNOW ANYTHING THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN, DOES NOT MAKE SENSE TO EXPLAIN THE WILL.

>> THE WAY THAT WE DO IT NOW WE CONSIDER EVERYONE THAT SUBMITS AN APPLICATION.

>> BUT WE DON'T DO ANYTHING OTHER THAN NOMINATE. WE DON'T HAVE AN

INTERVIEW OR ANYTHING. >> I DON'T KNOW IF THEY CONSIDER EVERYBODY. WE DON'T EVER HAVE ANY DISCUSSIONS ABOUT IT. I DON'T KNOW.

THIS IS A WAY TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY IS GIVEN AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE CONSIDERED AND IF COMMISSIONER JUDGE WANTS TO INTERVIEW THEM NO MATTER HOW MANY WANT TO INTERVIEW, YOU PICK

THEM. >> UNDERSTOOD.

>> THE MOTION YOU HAVE IS ADDING YOUR SECTION THE APPOINTMENT PROCESS TO THIS POLICY.

>> WE HAVE A MOTION AND THE SECOND TO ADD THIS TO OUR POLICY. WE CAN ALWAYS COME BACK IF THIS DOES NOT WORK OUT AND DO SOMETHING DIFFERENTLY. IT AT LEAST GIVES US TIME TO MOVE FORWARD TO LOOK AT OR TRY OR REUSE.

>> BECAUSE OF OUR POLICY NOW HERE ON OUT THAT'S WHAT I'M GOING TO FOL FOLLOW.

>> UNLESS WE COME BACK AND VOTE AGAINST IT AND DECIDED DID NOT WORK OUT WHERE WE DO NOT LIKE IT.

THERE IS A LOT OF POLICY CHANGES.

>> I DON'T KNOW IF I'M READY FOR THIS CHANGE

YET. >> ANY DISCUSSION.

>> I AGREE IN THE CONCEPT, IT'S WHAT WE'OR HIGH-PE APPOINTMENTS THAT WE'VE MADE FOR ACTUAL EMPLOYEES THAT REPORT TO US.

WE NEED STRUCTURE OTHER THAN MAKING MOTIONS AND THROWING OUT A NAME OR A BUNDLE OF NAMES AND HAVING TO VOTE DOWN THE MOTION.

THIS IS MORE DELIBERATE AND IF YOU LOOK AT OTHER APPOINTMENTS MADE BY OTHER ENTITIES IN NUECES COUNTY AND OUTSIDE OF THE COUNTY.

I THINK IT IS STILL GIVING A SOLID CHANCE TO HAVE OUR NOMINEES BROUGHT FORWARD IF THEY QUALIFY AND HAVE THE INTERVIEW WHICH I THINK IS A GREAT CONCEPT THAT WE STARTED A FEW YEARS AGO WITH THE SHERIFF'S APPOINTMENT BACK IN

2018. >> WE DID THE INTERVIEWS. I THINK THIS IS A GOOD STEP FORWARD. WE MAY FIGURE OUT THIS MAY NOT WORK WITH THOUGHT AND WE MAY HAVE TO CHANGE IT. BUT I LIKE THAT TO GET THIS GOING FORWARD AND EVERYONE IN CHANCE TO HAVE A VOICE HE HEARD AS FAR AS OUR NOMINEES.

>> WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO AMEND OUR POLICY ABOUT APPOINTMENT PROCESS.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE GET AYE.

>> ANY OPPOSE, SAME SCIENCE.

THE MOTION PASSES. >> I WOULD LIKE TO SUGGEST SOMETHING THAT IS NOT IN HERE TO POSSIBLY HE ADDED TO ELIMINATE FUTURE PROBLEMS LIKE WHAT WE JUST HAD TO TABLE.

POSSIBLY IF IT COMMISSIONER OR THE JUDGE, I'VE TRIED VERY HARD SINCE I GOT ELECTED BY GOING TO YOUR DISTRICT TO CONTACT YOU AND I HAVE YOUR SAY IN IT SO MAYBE WE SHOULD PUT A POLICY IN THEIR AND IN YOUR DISTRICT THAT THEY ARE NOTIFIED OR THEY NEED TO SIGN OFF WORK NEEDS TO BE A JOINT SO WE CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS. THIS IS AN EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY THAT WE SAW TODAY THAT COULD MOVE FORWARD AND BE ELIMINATED.

I KNOW YOU CANNOT TALK TO MORE THAN ONE BUT IF THE INDIVIDUAL IS GOING IN AND WHOEVER BRINGS THIS AND YOU'RE GOING INTO SOMEBODY ELSE'S YOU COULD TALK TO THE INDIVIDUAL AND GET THEM TO SIGN OFF ON IT. I WOULD MAKE THAT MOTION AND OPEN IT UP FOR DISCUSSION AND IF YOU THINK IT'S ALL TOO MUCH OR NOT NECESSARY.

WE WORK WELL TOGETHER, MOVING FORWARD IT'S WHAT I EXPLICITLY TRIED TO DO AS JUDGE.

>> I THINK THE CONCEPT IS GREAT I JUST DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT TO TAKE A MINUTE AND FIGURE OUT HOW TO WRITE SOMETHING UP LIKE I HAD TO DO A

COUPLE OF TIMES ONLINE. >> I THOUGHT IT WAS FAIRLY SIMPLE. FOR EXAMPLE

[01:25:04]

I THINK YOUR CONCEPT IS RIGHT ANYTHING THAT WILL BE DONE IN THE PRECINCT OF SOMEONE ELSE SHOULD BE A COURTESY HEADS UP. IT DOES NOT MEAN YOU SHOULDN'T DO IT BUT IT'S A COURTESY.

>> IT'S A GREAT PLAN MOVING FORWARD.

>> IF YOU WANT TO PROPOSE SPECIFIC LANGUAGE I'LL BE LISTENING.

>> THE AGENDA ITEM CAN DO THAT ANYWAY RIGHT

NOW. >> THIS WILL BE POLICY WHY I ADDED IT TO THE POLICY.

>> I'M WILLING TO BRING IT BACK AND DISCUSS IT IF YOU COULD WORK ON SOME LANGUAGE FOR ME AS WELL JENNY. SOMETHING AS SIMPLE I DON'T WANT TO OVERCOMPLICATE THE PROCESS AND I DON'T WANT TO CREATE A QUORUM PROBLEM BUT IN MY POSITION WHERE I SIT IT'S FAIRLY SIMPLE. IF I GO TO THE ISLAND I CALL BRENT. IF I GO TO ROB'S TOWN I CALLED JOHN. FIGURE COMMISSIONER GONZALEZ OR HERNANDEZ, I CALLED THEM.

I THINK IT IS A COURTESY AND THAT'S THEIR AREA AND THEIR PEOPLE AND THEIR BUILDINGS.

WE WORKED TOGETHER HERE AND WE PROVIDE SERVICES.

>> IT'S BEEN A YEAR END A HALF ALREADY SO IT'S NOT LIKE THERE'S SOMETHING NEW.

>> LET'S MOVE FORWARD THIS IS A GREAT CONCEPT.

LET'S MAKE IT HAPPEN. >> I WILL HOLD THAT TILL THE NEXT MEETING. BUT WE HAVE THE HIGHLIGHTED CHANGES IN THE COURT POLICY THAT WILL NEED TO BE VOTED ON BY COMMISSIONER CHESNEY'S, BASICALLY FROM THE ATTORNEY YOUR ONLY SUGGESTION MOVING ONE LINE OTHERWISE THE REFERENCES TO COURT MANAGER BEING CHANGED IF APPLICABLE TO THE AGENDA COURT LATER, ONE PLACE TO THE AUDITORS OFFICE BECAUSE OF TRAVEL BECAUSE THE AUDITOR KEEPS UP WITH TRAVEL AND THE OTHER PLACES THE COUNTY JUDGE WHICH IS ALWAYS BEEN MYSELF INCLUDED AS WELL.

I MAKE THE MOTION TO PASS WITH THE CHANGES.

>> DID YOU WANT TO MAKE A MOTION TO DIRECT HER TO COME UP WITH A POLICY RELATED TO WHAT YOU JUST

SAID. >> I ASKED HER, I DON'T THINK I HAD TO MAKE A MOTION.

>> I TOLD HER I WOULD BRING IT BACK.

>> A DEGREE CONCEPT. >> MY MOTION IS FOR WHAT WE PUT ON HERE TO MAKE THE CHANGES IN THE COURT POLICY AND ANY REFERENCES TO THE COURT MANAGER AND THOSE DUTIES THAT ARE HIGHLIGHTED IN

THE BACKUP. >> I HAVE A MOTION IN THE SECOND. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. ANY OPPOSE, SAME SIGN.

THE MOTION PASSES AND WE WILL BE COMING BACK TO MAYBE IF WE FIGURE OUT A WAY TO DO IT WITHOUT CREATING THE WELCOME FORM WE WILL POSSIBLY ADD ANOTHER CHANGE TO THE.

>> YES OR WITH THE DEVELOPERS.

>> I NEVER HEARD. >> AND THIS IS WHAT ABM WAS ASKING BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO PAY THE FULL AMOUNT OF THE ORIGINAL PROCESS AND WE WERE

AGAINST THAT YESTERDAY. >> I THINK THAT'S PART OF THE CONTRACT WITH ABM THIS WOULD BE BECAUSE I'M GOING TO THROW A NUMBER IF THEY HAVE 20 SEPTIC TANKS AND EVERY YEAR THEY SELL A PIECE OF PROPERTY, THEY SELL 10 THEN THEY CAN COME BACK TO THE COMMISSIONERS COURT.

>> HE HAS TO PAY ON THE ORIGINAL TOTAL BOND NOT THE PERFORMANCE BOND. HE WAS WANTING TO REDUCE HIS HOURS TRYING TO SEE IF THIS IS THE SAME

THING. >> THIS CONTRACT DOES NOT STATE THE SAME THAT THEY CANNOT DO THAT.

IT HASN'T BEEN DONE BEFORE, I DON'T KNOW WHY BUT THERE'S A LOT OF NEW DEVELOPMENT IN THE COUNTY AND WE NEED TO MAKE MONEY ON THE PLAT REVENUE MOU WITH THE CITY AND THEY HAVEN'T BEEN DOING WHAT THEY PROMISE THEY SAID THEY WERE GOING TO DO AND THAT IS GIVEN THE ENTIRE PLAT MONEY AND THAT HAS NOT HAPPENED SO WE FIND OUT HOW MUCH IS OWED TO NUECES COUNTY AND WE NEED TO GENERATE NEW INCOME SO I PROPOSED

WITH PUBLIC WORKS. >> ONE QUESTION, ON FUNDING DOES IT GO TO PUBLIC WORKS WERE

GENERAL FUND. >> THERE IS A STATUTORY REQUIREMENT ON WHAT CAN HAPPEN WITH THE MONEY AND A POSSIBLE I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THE REST OF THAT DISCUSSION INTO EXECUTIVE.

>> LET'S TAKE INTO EXECUTIVE OVER NOGGIN

MOVE FORWARD. >> RATED WE COME UP WITH

[01:35:05]

>> THE PRETTY MUCH STANDARD WITH AREA.

I ALSO LOOKED AT OTHER FEES FROM THE COUNTIES AND THEIR FEES ARE HIGHER SO THESE ARE

COMPARABLE. >> OF YOU GIVEN A HEADS-UP TO THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY.

WE WILL HEAR FROM THEM AS SOON AS WE DO.

>> I THINK WE NEED TO GIVE THEM A HEADS UP.

THE REAL QUESTION WHAT IS THE CITY CHARGING.

DO THEY CHARGE SIMILAR AMOUNT.

>> ESTHER. >> ARE WE DOING AS MUCH WORKER THEY DOING MORE WORK SPINNAKER THINK WERE DOING THE SAME AMOUNT.

>> THE FACT IS THE CITY. >> I AGREE WE SHOULD GET A PORTION OF THEIRS WHICH WERE NOT WORRIED WE NEED TO BE CHARGING I THANK YOU NEED TO CALL THE HOMEBUILDERS ASSOCIATION AND LET THEM KNOW AND WHOEVER ELSE I THINK IT'S FAIR THAT WE DON'T BLINDSIDE THEM WITH THE NEW FEE WITHOUT HAVING TO DEBATE AND ALSO TALKING TO THE CITY WITH WORKING ON SOMETHING WITH THE CITY THAT IT IS ONE FEE AND WE GET A PORTION.

I THINK THE CONCEPT IS GOOD I JUST DON'T WANT TO BLINDSIDE ANYBODY UNFAIRLY.

>> WHAT GOT ME STARTED ON THIS WE HAD TO FIX OUR ROADS THAT DEVELOPERS WERE BRINGING IN THE HEAVY TRUCKS, CEMENT TRUCKS, CONSTRUCTION TRUCKS AND I TALKED TO THEM AND THEY PROMISE THEY WERE GOING TO HELP AND THAT NEVER MATERIALIZED SO WE HAVE TO PAY TO GET THE ROADS FIXED SO I THINK WE SHOULD BE GETTING SOME OF THE FEE SO WE CAN DO THE THINGS THAT WE NEED TO FIX THAT THE DEVELOPERS BREAK.

>> GRAPHICALLY IF YOU LOOK AT WHAT'S HAPPENING WERE GETTING THE SUBDIVISIONS BUT OUR FUNDING FOR PUBLIC WORKS IS STAYING STAGNANT OR DROPPING SO THIS WOULD BE A GOOD WAY TO PUT REVENUE BACK INTO SUPPLY AND STAFF AND SOME OF THE OTHER THINGS THAT WE NEED TO DO RIGHT NOW ARE DOING BRUSH CLEANING AND POTHOLES AND RESURFACING THESE ROADS THESE ARE SOME OF THE NEW YORK SUBDIVISIONS AND GRAPHICALLY WERE LOOKING AT OUR BUDGET IS TO BE A GOOD WAY TO REPLENISH OR

CREATE REVENUE. >> THAT WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT AN EXECUTIVE. WE'LL PULL THAT IN.

ON PAGE FOUR THE FUND BALANCE FOR THE GENERAL FUND AT 54 MILLION. WE KNOW THAT WILL GO DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY AS WE GET TO THE REMAINDER OF AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER WE EXPECT THAT TO BE 28 AND $30 MILLION AND HOPEFULLY THAT WILL BE THE CASE.

A COMPUTER SYSTEM. >> I'M NOT SURE TREASURY IS GOING TO BE VERY LENIENT INTO MAKE THOSE

CHANGES IN THE PAST. >> WE DO CALL THE TREASURY AND THEY INDICATED.
