PUBLIC COMMENT. I HAVE THE LIST HERE. MR. STEPHEN PIERCE. YOU ARE FIRST. IF YOU WOULD STATE YOUR NAME, THERE'S NO NEED FOR AN ADDRESS THAT WE HAVE BEEN CORRECTED ON THAT. GESTATE YOUR

NAME. >> THANK YOU. MY NAME IS STEPHEN PIERCE. I REALLY APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO INTRODUCE MYSELF THIS MORNING. I AM A 26 VETERAN OF THE UNITED STATES ARMY. MOVING HERE TO NUECES COUNTY. I AM A TRANSPLANT. I'VE BEEN HERE ABOUT 3 1/2 YEARS. I DECIDED TO RETIRE HERE WITH MY FAMILY. AND WE WILL WANTING TO DO SOMETHING THAT WAS WORTH DOING. AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, AS AN ARMY VETERAN I AM VERY MISSION FOCUS. SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE, I HAVE LOOKED FOR OPPORTUNITIES TO TAKE ALL THE SKILLS AND DRIVE AS AN INFANTRY OFFICER TO GET HERE TO THE COUNTY AND HELP THE COMMUNITY. I HAVE BEEN RECENTLY HIRED AS THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FOR HABITAT FOR HUMANITY. HERE IN CORPUS CHRISTI. SO, AS YOU ALREADY KNOW, THE HOUSING MARKET IS WAY BEYOND THE ABILITY OF MOST PEOPLE GO TO PURCHASE A HOUSE. NOT ONLY THAT, IT IS MORE OUTSIDE OF THE SCOPE IF YOU ARE ALREADY LOW INCOME. SO THAT IS WHY HABITAT DOES. IT HELPS PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND THAT DREAM OF OWNING A HOUSE. MORE IMPORTANTLY, WE HELP THEM TO DISCOVER DIGNITY . SO, THE SPIRITUAL LEADER, THE PERSON WHO KIND OF HELP SHAPE HOW HABITAT HELPS THE POOR , CLARENCE OUT OF GEORGIA IN THE '50S AND '70S, HE HAD A QUOTE THAT SAID, THE POOR DON'T NEED CHARITY, ANY CAPITAL. AND I DON'T NEED SOCIAL WORKERS, THEN YOU COWORKERS. THAT IS WHY HABITAT FOR HUMANITY DOES. AND THAT IS WHAT I WILL DO IN MY ROLE AS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR. I WILL HELP THOSE PEOPLE WHO NEED HOMES , WHO NEED THE ABILITY TO STEP INTO AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE THEY CAN WORK , SEND THEIR KIDS TO SCHOOL, AND THRIVE . WE WILL GIVE THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO APPLY AND THEN MOVE INTO A HOME AND BE IN A COMMUNITY OF NOT ONLY OTHER PEOPLE, WHO CAN HELP THEM, BUT THEY WILL BE PART OF THAT HABITAT FAMILY AND WE WILL HELP THEM GROW. AND THEIR OPPORTUNITIES. SO, I AM HERE THIS MORNING TO SAY HELLO AND INTRODUCE MYSELF. I AM HERE TO HELP IN THE SAME COUNTY YOU SIR. I WILL DO THAT IN A ROLE COMING FROM A MILITARY BACKGROUND . VERY SPECIFIC MISSION. THAT IS TO HELP THE PEOPLE OF NUECES COUNTY WHO CANNOT AFFORD TO GET INTO THE HOUSING MARKET AND GET INTO A HOME AND MORE IMPORTANTLY TO HELP A FOR THEM DIGNITY AND AFFORD THEIR FAMILY DIGNITY OF BEING A HOMEOWNER. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME THIS MORNING. I'VE GOT CARDS DISTRIBUTED TO YOU AND IF YOU WOULD LIKE FOR ME TO COME AND SPEAK WITH YOU PERSONALLY, I AM HAPPY TO DO THAT. OR FOR ANY OTHER REASON I

[00:15:03]

CAN SERVE YOU, LET ME KNOW. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR

>> THANK YOU. MIKE HUXLEY. -- >> I HAD CONDUCTED YOU ALREADY HAVE THAT THE DOCUMENT? OKAY. GOOD MORNING. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALLOWING ME TO COME HERE THIS MORNING. I RESIDE HERE IN NUECES COUNTY, CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS. I PRESENTED EACH OF YOU A DOCUMENT AND I WILL BRIEFLY SUMMARIZE THE DOCUMENT I AM HERE THIS MORNING TO ASK THAT SOME OF THE ITEMS ON YOUR AGENDA TODAY HE TABLED UNTIL THE FIRST OF JANUARY.

WHERE WE TAKE OFFICE AS A COMMISSIONER FOR PRECINCT 1.

THIS IS A COURTESY THAT HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO OTHER COMMISSIONERS IN THE PAST AND COUNTY JUDGES AS WELL. EACH OF THESE ITEMS HAS EITHER A RELEVANCE OR SIGNIFICANCE AND DECISIONS THAT NEED TO BE MADE. FOR PROJECTS FOR WHICH I WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR SUPERVISING IN MY CAPACITY AS A COUNTY COMMISSIONER FOR PRECINCT 1. SO, IF YOU WOULD PLEASE , AND I APOLOGIZE FOR THE TYPOS. I DISCOVERED IN THE PARKING LOT THIS MORNING AND HAD TO CHANGE IT WITH THE PENCIL BUT ANYWAY, IF YOU WOULD PLEASE REVIEW THAT DOCUMENT AND I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR CONSIDERATION FOR TABLING THESE ITEMS UNTIL JANUARY.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> RON WOLFE

>> GOOD MORNING. MY NAME IS RON WOLFE I AM THE SECRETARY-TREASU RER OF THE -- HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION. I AM HERE AND MY COMMENTS ARE RELATED TO ITEM 3. A2. I AM ADJACENT TO THIS PARCEL. AND I WANT TO THANK COMMISSIONER CHESNEY AND THE PORT AND ALSO -- AND THE MANAGEMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE FOR THEIR TIME AND EFFORT ON THIS ISSUE. AND FOR INCLUDING US AS EFFECTIVE NADIRS IN THE PROCESS. -- EFFECTED NEIGHBORS IN THE PROCESS. THERE WERE SEVERAL THINGS THAT WENT WRONG WITH THIS PROCESS, WHILE BACK THAT I THINK IS IMPORTANT TO POINT OUT. FIRST, WHEN THE INITIAL PERMANENT WORK FOR THIS WAS DONE, IN 2003, PRIOR TO MR. DAVID, THE CURRENT OWNER PURCHASING THE PROPERTY, THE REQUEST HAD TWO PARTS TO IT.

PART ONE WAS TO FILL FIVE WETLANDS WITHIN THE SETBACK AND PART TWO WAS TO FILL TWO WETLANDS SEAWARD OF THE 350 FOOT SETBACK. THE BIG MAC BEACH MANAGEMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE SPENT CONSIDERABLE TIME AND EFFORT TO REVIEW THAT REQUEST.

AND THEY RECOMMEND THE PART ONE AND DENIED PART TWO. HOWEVER WHEN THE ISSUE WAS PRESENTED TO THE COURT, BMAC'S POSITION WAS NOT EXPLAINED AND THEREFORE THEIR VALUABLE WORK WAS NOT TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT. AND AS A RESULT, BOTH PARTS OF THAT REQUEST FOR REPROVE. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THE COURT FOLLOWS BMAC RECOMMENDATIONS THE MASS -- VAST MAJORITY OF THE TIME IN THIS CASE THAT DID NOT HAPPEN. I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND HOW AND WHY THAT HAPPENED. AND TO MAKE -- TAKE WHATEVER ACTION IS NEEDED TO MAKE SURE THAT IT CANNOT HAPPEN AGAIN. SECOND, WHEN THE WORK BEGAN, THERE WAS TREMENDOUS DAMAGE DONE BY MR. DAVID AND WENT ON FOR QUITE A WHILE BEFORE WE AS NEIGHBORS REPORTED AND STOPPED IT. IT'S IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND HOW THAT HAPPENED AND MAKE SURE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN, AS PLAYFULLY -- ESPECIALLY NOW THAT THE WORK IS BEING DONE. THE BEER'S PREFERENCE WAS TO -- THE BMAC'S PREFERENCE WAS TO -- COMPENSATION PLAN AND APPARENTLY MITIGATION WAS NOT AN OPTION. THAT PLAN HAS BEEN MODIFIED AND IS BEFORE YOU TODAY. THE ONLY REASON I HEARD WHY MITIGATION IS NOT AN OPTION IS BECAUSE IT WOULD HINDER FUTURE DEVELOPMENT. HOWEVER, HE SAID MANY TIMES HE HAD NO PLANS FOR DEVELOPMENT. AND THAT , SO, I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY MITIGATION PLAN WAS NOT APPROPRIATE . FINALLY, AT OUR BMAC MEETING YESTERDAY, WE EXPRESSED CONCERN ABOUT DRAINAGE. WITH THAT WE WITNESSED HEAVY RAINS RECENTLY WHERE FLOODING ON THE PROPERTIES THAT ARE RIGHT NEXT

[00:20:05]

TO WHERE THE DILL OCCURRED MOTHER NATURE HAS WETLANDS FOR REGION AND WE ASK THAT THE SITUATION BE MONITORED.

>> THANK YOU. >> GOOD MORNING. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. I WANT TO SHARE A LITTLE BIT WITH YOU. I AM HERE FOR ITEM 18 WHICH IS PART OF -- FOR AN UPDATE ON THE CALLED HER OWN BUILDING AND -- YOU APPROVE THE LEASE FOR US TO DO -- AND WE HAD PLANNED TO OPEN IN DECEMBER. PART OF BEING THERE AS WE HAVE TO GET APPROVED AND IT WILL BE APPROVED BUT WE ARE STILL WAITING ON APPROVAL TO OFFICIALLY OPEN THE SITE. ALSO, WE ARE HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE PROVIDER WE LINED UP BUT WE DO HAVE A BACKUP PLAN TO DO PROVIDERS FROM CORPUS CHRISTI TO INCREASE THE PRIMARY CARE IN ROB'S TOWN. IT'S DIFFICULT TO GET A PROVIDER AND THAT IS -- THAT IS NOT A BIG SURPRISE. WE ALSO PLAN AS SOON AS WE DO GET APPROVAL TO BE DOING PRIMARY PSYCHIATRY TELEHEALTH. SO WE HAVE A NUMBER OF PATIENTS WHO CAN'T GET TO OUR PSYCHIATRIST SO THEY WILL USE THAT SPACE AS WELL TO GET SOME BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AS WELL AS SOME POTENTIAL LICENSED PROFESSIONAL COUNSELORS. THAT IS THE UPDATE ON WHERE WE ARE WITH THAT. ALSO, SPACE WISE, WE TALKED ABOUT THE SPACES LAID OUT IN THAT LEASE WHICH IS PUBLIC HEALTH AND WHICH IS PRIMARY CARE AND ALSO, TALKED ABOUT SOME OF THE COLLABORATIONS TO HOPEFULLY HAVE SOME GOOD MEDICAL HOME RIGHT THERE TO MAKE IT WORK WELL. THAT WAS MY

UPDATE. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. IS THERE ANYONE WHO DID NOT HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SIGN UP FOR PUBLIC COMMENT WHO WISHES TO DO SO NOW? IF THERE IS NONE,

[G. CONVENE MEETING OF THE NUECES COUNTY HOUSING FINANCE CORPORATION]

MOVING RIGHT ALONG. ITEM G .1. I'M GOING TO TABLE. WE WILL PUT IT ON THE DECEMBER 11TH AGENDA AND PLACE IT ON THE REGULAR AGENDA. IT WAS POSTED INCORRECTLY AND THEY ARE I'M

BACK AND POSTING IT CORRECTLY ON THE DECEMBER 11TH. ITEM NUMBER 2, THE CONSENT AGENDA. DOES ANY COMMISSIONER HAVE AN P GOING TO PULL ITEM -- FOR FURTHER COMMENT . ANY OTHER

PASSES.. ON ITEM A, I NEED TO TABLE AND BRING IT BACK TO DECEMBER. THE REGISTER ATTACHED DID NOT PRINT COLLECT -- CORRECTLY. IS JUST THE BOTTOM PORTION, BUT WE ARE JUST PULLING ITEM A AND BRINGING IT BACK ON DECEMBER 11.

>> WE NEED TO ISSUE PAYMENT. IT'S JUST THE CHECK REGISTERS FOR THE PREVIOUSLY AUTHORIZED PAYMENT OF THE BILLS . THOSE CHECK REGISTERS WILL BRING BACK BUT THE IDOLS ITEMS WE REQUEST

APPROVAL. >> FURTHER REGULAR VETERAN, WE WILL APPROVE THE CHECKS, BUT NOT THE REGISTER THAT WAS THE

ITEM. >> OKAY.

>> THIS IS A SEPARATE ITEM. AT THE VERY END.

>> IT IS A LAST THREE SENTENCES. WE WILL BRING THOSE

[00:25:04]

BACK ON DECEMBER 11TH, BUT THE OTHER ITEMS, THAT CHECK REGISTERS FOR THE EXCEPTION ITEMS PAYMENTS THAT A PAYROLL GARNISHMENT THE DATES -- OCTOBER 11TH AND 25TH AND PAYMENTS FOR VENDORS ON THE EXCEPTIONS LIST ON OCTOBER 11TH, 14, 18, 25TH AND NOVEMBER 1ST. THOSE ARE ALL CORRECT.

IT'S JUST THE LAST THREE. >> SO, I WANT YOU TO LIST WHAT SHE SHOULD TABLE . INSTEAD OF THE ONES THAT ARE RIGHT FOR

>> IT IS THE PREVIOUSLY AUTHORIZED PAYMENTS FOR BILLS OF A REGULAR VETERANS AND COMMUNITY SUPPORT SERVICES. AND SPECIAL MOTIONS DATED OCTOBER 18TH.

>> I WILL AMEND MY MOTION TO TABLE ONLY THAT PORTION.

>> WHAT ABOUT THE CHECK REGISTER?

>> THAT WILL COME BACK ON THE NEXT.

Terminations & Resignations Report Approve Personnel Actions of a budgeted nature for July 1, 2024 through January 21, 2025: 1. Temporary Worker Requests - New requests and renewal requests]

PASSES. ITEM J. COMMISSIONER, YOU HAD A QUESTION WITH THAT

ONE. >> ON THE PERSONAL ROSTER THAT WE GET, SO I DON'T WANT TO MISLEAD SOMEBODY AND SAY SOMEBODY WAS TERMINATED. THEY RESIGN OR RETIRE, WHATEVER, IT SHOULD INDICATE WHATEVER THE REASON WAS.

>> AND SET UP TERMINATION? DO YOU HAVE ANY -- IS THAT THE WAY IT PULLS UP WHEN AN EMPLOYEE LEAVES OFFICE WHETHER IT'S FOR TERMINATION OR RESIGNATION? OR RETIRE? HE SANG THE REGISTER YOUR PRINT SHOWS ALL TERMINATIONS INSTEAD OF WHAT THEY ACTUALLY LEFT FOR. CAN'T -- YOU HAVE TO SPEAK IN THE

MICROPHONE. >>

>> THEY ALL LIKE THEY WERE TERMINATED INSTEAD OF RESIGNED

OR RETIRED OR ANYTHING ELSE. >> GOOD MORNING, COMMISSIONER.

THAT IS CORRECT. WHEN WORKDAY PROCESSES A TERMINATION, IT DOESN'T ACKNOWLEDGE RETIREMENTS OR INVOLUNTARY TERMINATIONS OR INVOLUNTARY TERMINATIONS. ADJUST CLASSIFIES THEM AS TERMINATIONS. IN WORKDAY, AND SPECIFIES WHAT THE REASON IS. IT ALSO DETERMINES IF THEY ARE ELIGIBLE FOR REHIRE. DID I ANSWER YOUR QUESTION? YES, BUT I WANT TO

CORRECT IT. >> IS THERE A WAY TO CORRECT IT? I UNDERSTAND IT LOOKS LIKE EVERYBODY IS TERMINATED INSTEAD OF PEOPLE HAVE LEFT OR RETIRED.

>> THAT WOULD BE A COUNTY AUDITOR ANSWER.

>> LISA? >> SO, HUMAN CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AS A SEPARATE COMPONENT OF WORKDAY FROM THE FINANCIAL SYSTEM. THERE ARE SEPARATE REPORTS FOR THOSE AND IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THOSE ITEMS ARE JUST PULLED AS A REPORT STRAIGHT OUT OF WORKDAY. SO, IT WOULD REQUIRE SOMEONE GOING IN AND LOOKING AT EACH NOTE FOR EVERY EMPLOYEE THAT SEPARATING AND GO AND MODIFY A REPORT THAT IS GENERATED FROM WORKDAY.

EASILY. THERE IS NO WAY TO MODIFY THAT IN WORKDAY , HOW IT

IS GENERATED. >> YOU SAID SOMEONE COULD GO IN

AND DO IT. >> MANUALLY, YES.

>> I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE MANUALLY TO REFLECT WHAT WAS

ACTUALLY DONE. >> WHO WOULD DO THAT?

>> THAT WILL BE A FUNCTION OF HR. MELINDA JUST BROUGHT -- WALKED IN. SHE MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING.

>> I WAS JUST GOING TO ADD WHEN YOU STATED ABOUT THE REPORT

BEING UPDATED. >> ON THE -- PULL THE

MICROPHONE DOWN. >> ON THE THIRD AND LAST COLUMN IT SAYS RESIGNATION OR TERMINATION. THE REASON WILL GIVE WHETHER IT WAS ABANDONMENT, TERMINATION AND IT GIVES THE BREAKDOWN OF WHY THEY LEFT.

>> SO, BASICALLY -- SORRY, JUDGE.

>> ON THE REPORT THAT IT PROVIDED?

[00:30:02]

>> YES. >> WHAT NUMBER IS THAT?

>> COMMISSIONER 'S POINT IS WELL MADE. MOST PEOPLE DON'T LOOK PAST THAT. AS LONG AS IT CAN BE MANUALLY UPDATED I THINK IT SHOULD AND WE SHOULD REFLECT ACCURATELY. THE REASONS.

>> THE REASONS ARE THERE. >> BUT THE END OF THE DAY AND

SAYS TERMINATION. >> NO. IF YOU LOOK UNDER ACTION TYPE, THE VERY FIRST ONE SAYS RESIGNATION. THE SECOND ONE IS

TERMINATION. >> RIGHT, BUT THE COMMISSIONER IS MAKING A POINT THAT THEY WERE NOT TERMINATED.

TERMINATION IS A TERM IN THE WORLD WE LIVE IN THAT MEANS YOU

WERE FIRED. >> THE ONES THAT ARE LISTED OR

TERMINATED. >> RIGHT.

>> THE SECOND ONE WAS A TERMINATION DURING A PROBATIONARY. WHICH IS LISTED THERE.

>> OKAY. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE REPORT REFLECTS WHAT HE SAID BEFORE AND HE SAID IT SO WORKDAY FUNCTION AND IS

WHAT IT IS. SO, -- >> THAT TASK WE DO IS CALLED A TERMINATION, BUT IT DOES LIST THE ACTION. WHETHER IT WAS A RESIGNATION OR TERMINATION ON THE REPORT. THEN IT GOES INTO THE REASON ON THE SECOND TO THE LEFT COLUMN. WHICH IS , FIRST ONE WAS JOB ABANDONMENT, WHICH IS RESIGNATION, SECOND WAS A TERMINATION AND IT TERMINATION DURING A PROBATIONARY PERIOD.

>> IS KIND OF CONFUSING WHEN YOU HAVE TERMINATION AND WANT AND RESIGNATION IN THE OTHER ONE. CAN IT REFLECT JUST

RESIGNATION AND ALL OF THEM? >> IT GIVES THE REASON WHY THEY RESIGN. SOMETIMES, THEY RESIGN BECAUSE A MOVE. SOMETIMES THEY FOUND ANOTHER POSITION SOMEWHERE ELSE. SO IT GOES ONE STEP FURTHER INTO THE REASON FOR WHETHER IT WAS A TERMINATION OR SEPARATION OR, A RESIGNATION.

>> IS OR ANY WAY TO SEPARATE THOSE LISTS FOR PEOPLE WHO RETIRE OR RESIGN AND PEOPLE WHO ARE TERMINATED? I MEAN, THERE

HAS TO BE A SIMPLER WAY. >> WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO THAT. SO ONE FOR RESIGNATIONS AND ONE FOR TERMINATIONS AND

ONE FOR RETIREMENTS? >> I MEAN, WHATEVER WE CAN DO, PEOPLE, AND UNDERSTAND WHAT THE COMMISSIONER IS TALKING ABOUT THE DAY ARE NOT GOING TO READ ALL THE DETAILS ABOUT WHERE SOMEONE WENT, AND IT LOOKS LIKE AT FIRST GLANCE IT'S A

TERMINATION. >> OKAY. WE CAN DO THREE

DIFFERENT REPORTS FOR >> IT JUST SAYS UNDER BUSINESS PROCESS, TERMINATION. YOU HAVE TO GO ALL THE WAY TO THE RIGHT

TO FIND OUT WHY. >> OR WE COULD CHANGE THE

COLUMNS. >> OR WOULD YOU PREFER SEPARATE

REPORTS? >> CHANGE THE COLUMNS. AS LONG AS YOU SEE INITIALLY AT THE BEGINNING AND NOT THE END.

>> OKAY. >> MAYBE JUST TURN -- CHANGE THE TERM TO END OF EMPLOYMENT AND SAID TERMINATION. IT COULD GO INTO THAT CATEGORY AND YOU DON'T HAVE THE WORD TERMINATION WHICH WILL SET SOME PEOPLE UP. IT'S A SEMANTICAL

ISSUE. UNDER BUSINESS PROCESS >> I'M NOT SURE WE CAN DO THAT BUT I WILL SEE WHAT WE CAN DO.

>> LET ME JUST ADD THAT I SPOKE ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS WITH JULIE MENDOZA AND HARRY -- REGARDING THIS REPORT AND COMMISSIONER GONZALEZ WANTED TO REFLECT THE PREVIOUS REPORT THAT I WAS ADVISED THIS WAS THE ONLY WAY IT COULD BE SET UP. IF THERE IS ANYTHING MORE THAT CAN BE DONE, LISA, PLEASE LET ME KNOW THAT. I WOULD WAS INFORMED THAT. THIS IS THE CLOSEST THEY WERE ABLE TO GET TO THE REQUEST TO MIRROR THE PREVIOUS REPORT.

>> WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO ADJUST TYPE THAT COLUMN SO THE ONLY ACTION THEY SEE IS THE TWO COLUMNS AT THE END. JUST HIDE THAT ONE COLUMN SO IT IS NOT REFLECTED.

>> BUT YOU WILL SEE IT IN THE END.

>> EXACTLY. >> ARE YOU MAKING A MOTION?

COMMISSIONER? >> I THINK THE MOTION WAS TO

CLEAN UP THE REPORT. >> YES.

>> TAKE OUT THE WORD TERMINATION OR WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE. THE WAY IT READS IS TERMINATION IS THE FIRST COLUMN YOU SEE AND ALL THE WAY TO THE RIGHT. MAYBE JUST CHANGING TERMINATION TO STATE AND OF EMPLOYMENT.

>> -- OR WHATEVER IT IS . JUST SO IT IS AN ACCURATE REPORT. I WOULD DEFINITELY MAKE THAT AS PART OF THE MOTION. CLEAN THAT UP SO THE WORD TERMINATION IS TAKEN OUT AND SOME OTHER TERM, AND OF EMPLOYMENT OR SOMETHING THE SYSTEM WILL TAKE. IT'S

[00:35:01]

TAKEN OUT. >> AND APPROVE THE PERSONNEL

ACTION. >> AS AMENDED. IS THAT OKAY?

>> I JUST DON'T WANT SOMEBODY TO PULL THE RECORD AND LOOK AT THAT COLUMN AND SAYS TERMINATED.

>> WE HAVE MOTION. ARE YOU SECONDING THAT? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE AYE. ANY OPPOSE? THE MOTION PASSES. MOVING ON TO OUR REGULAR AGENDA, ITEM 3 . A.WIND. DISCUSS AND CONSIDER

[1. Discuss and consider rescinding prior approval of large-scale Dune Protection Permit (DPP-20240311) from September 11, 2024; Discuss and consider approval of the revised application for a large-scale Dune Protection Permit (DPP-20240311), with exemption request for construction of a walkover seaward of the 350-foot building setback line, required for the proposed construction of seven habitable structures (three condominiums, one restaurant,/bar and grill, one entrance building, and one amenity center) and four amenities (a lagoon, a pool, a dune walkover, and tennis/pickleball courts) at 6101 & 6073 State Highway 361, Port Aransas, Texas, 78373.]

RESCINDING PRIOR APPROVAL OF LARGE-SCALE DUNE PROTECTION PERMIT (DPP-20240311) FROM SEPTEMBER 11, 2024; DISCUSS AND -- IT HAS COME BACK -- CHRISTINE OR SCOTT, ARE YOU HERE FOR THIS ONE? WE SURPRISE YOU.

>> GOOD TIMING. >> IT IS THE WALK OVER THEY REQUESTED TO BE SHORTENED. THAT HAS BEEN DONE. I UNDERSTAND

EVERYTHING IS MOVING FORWARD. >> AFTER THIS WAS APPROVED AT THE LAST MEETING, WE RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE GLO ASKING THE APPLICANT TO MOVE IT CLOSER TO THE VEGETATION LINE. SO THEIR ENGINEERS CAN SHORTEN IT AND MEET ALL THE STANDARDS. IT'S THE ONLY REVISION TO THE APPLICATION SINCE THE LAST TIME. SO IT IS NOT AS FAR OUT AND USE ALL THE OTHER

REQUIREMENTS. >> THERE IS NO OPPOSITION TO THIS THAT YOU ARE AWARE OF FACTS

>> YES, SIR. >> I WOULD MOVE -- SORRY, I CAN'T EVEN TALK. THAT WE RESCIND THE PERMIT DPP-20240311 -- FOR CONSTRUCTION OF A WALK OVER WITH 350 FOOT BUILDING SETBACK LINE REQUIRED FOR THE PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION OF THE

STRUCTURES. >> SECOND.

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

[2. Discuss and consider approval of the Exemption Request for Dune Impact Compensation for Violations for 426 cubic yards (CY) of dunes and 10,117 square feet (SF) of dune vegetation impacted without authorization - Mustang Island Section 2 Block 1 Lot 52 11.82 acres - DPP-04062023-na.]

AYE. >> AYE.

>> THE MOTION PASSES. ITEM NUMBER TWO. I BELIEVE COMMISSIONER CHESNEY THIS IS YOUR ITEM.

>> IS BOTH OF OURS. >> THIS ONE SETS COMPENSATION FOR VIOLATION TWO IMPACTED DUNES THAT WERE NOT PERMANENTLY IMPACTED. THE COMMISSIONERS COURT APPROVED THE APPLICATION TO ALLOW PHIL BEYOND JURISDICTIONAL WETLANDS UP TO -- EXEMPTION FOR THOSE THAT WERE SEAWARD . DURING THAT CONSTRUCTION, THEY AFFECTED SOME OTHER DUNES AND MISSES THERE COMPENSATION FOR THOSE IMPACTS. IT WAS TABLED A MONTH AGO , TWO OR THREE COMMISSIONERS COURT MEETINGS.

THEY DID NOT SUPPORT THE APPLICATION SO THE APPLICANT REVISE THE COMPENSATION DOING AND IT WAS PRESENTED AT COMMISSIONERS COURT LAST TIME I WAS MORE PERPENDICULAR COMPENSATION DUNES. WITHIN THEIR WETLAND FOOTPRINT THAT THEY HAVE PERMISSION TO FILL. NOW, THEY ARE MORE PARALLEL WITH THE EXISTING DUNES SYSTEM TO PROVIDE BETTER EROSION AND

PROTECTION. SO, -- >> JUDGE, THIS IS THE ONE WHERE WE TABLED IT AND I CAN BEAT A MEETING OF THE AFFECTED PARTIES INCLUDING THE HOMEOWNERS NEXT DOOR AND -- FROM THE BMAC COMMITTEE. WE CAME UP WITH WHAT WAS BASICALLY A COMPROMISE SOLUTION. MR. DAVID VOLUNTEERED KINDLY AND WE APPRECIATE IT TO PAY THE COUNTY TO OVERSEE THE CONSTRUCTION SO WE DIDN'T HAVE THE SAME ISSUES REGARDING THAT. IT WAS VERY FAVORABLE MEETING AND BMAC MET THIS WEEK , I THINK IT WAS THIS WEEK, AND HAD AN EMERGENCY MEETING AND THEY DID APPROVE THIS COMPROMISE BY 86-1 VOTE. AS PART OF THE MOTION TO PASSES, I WOULD CHARGE CHRISTINE WITH COMING UP WITH WHOEVER THE PERSON IS OUR WEATHER ISSUE , WHATEVER IS ACCEPTABLE TO YOU, TO OVERSEE

[00:40:05]

THIS AND YOU WILL WORK THAT OUT WITH MR. DAVID. I WOULD MAKE A MOTION TO PASS THIS COMPROMISE POSITION. IT DOES REALLY ACTUALLY -- I THINK IT'S A BETTER SOLUTION AND PROVIDES MORE PROTECTION THAN EVEN GOING BACK TO WHERE IT WAS IN THE PAST. I THINK THAT IS IMPORTANT. I THINK WE CAME OUT OF THIS WITH A WIN SITUATION AND ARE APPRECIATIVE OF ALL THE PARTIES THAT WERE THERE. IT WAS AN INTENSE MEETING BUT SOMETIMES INTENSITY PROVIDES RESULTS AND THIS WAS DEATHLY ONE THAT PROVIDED RESULTS. AS PART OF THE MOTION I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT IS IN THE RECORD THAT CHRISTINE WILL FACILITATE THE HIRING OF AND WORKING WITH MR. DAVID FOR THE COMPENSATION TO THE COUNTY OR OVERSEEING CONSTRUCTION. THAT

WOULD BE MY MOTION. >> WE HAVE MOTION AND DO WE HAVE A SECOND? WE HAVE MOTION AND A SECOND. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE AYE . ANY OPPOSE? IT

[3. Discuss and consider approval of personal services contract for $60,000 with Legislative Consultant, Joel Romo, for services related to the 89th Texas Legislative Session, strategic planning, consulting, and governmental relations services, and other related matters.]

[4. Discuss and consider approval of personal services contract for $60,000 with Legislative Consultant, Patricia Shipton, for services related to the 89th Texas Legislative Session, strategic planning, consulting, and governmental relations services, and other related matters.]

PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. THANK YOU. ITEM NUMBER THREE, DISCUSS AND CONSIDER APPROVAL OF PERSONNEL SERVICES, FOR 60,000 WITH LEGISLATIVE CONSULT -- CONSULTANT FOR SERVICES RELATED TO THE 89TH TEXAS LEGISLATIVE SESSION. THIS CONTRACT IS DATED BACK 10/1. WE WERE WAITING ON THE 1295 FORM TO GET BACK FROM

THEM. >> JUST DISCUSSION?

>> YES. PLEASE PRAY >> I DON'T MIND APPROVING SOMETHING UP TO BUT WHAT WE HAVE DONE IN THE PAST AS WE PAID EACH OF THE CONSULTANTS AND THEN A LESSER AMOUNT OUT OF SESSION WHICH WOULD REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF 60,000 EACH. WHAT WE DID IN THE PAST, WE CAN CHANGE IT, BUT WE PAY THEM 5000 DURING SESSION AND 2500 A MONTH DURING INTERIM IF WE NEEDED THEM. SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE THIS CONTRACT DOES NOT BIND US TO HAVING TO PAY $60,000. SO, I WILL ASK THAT OF OUR LEGAL COUNSEL AND SEE WHAT HER INTERPRETATION OF IT IS.

>> WE CAN PASS SOMETHING WITH THOSE STIPULATIONS.

>> THAT'S STILL THE COURT'S DESIRE. WE DON'T USE IT MUCH IN THE INTERIM IS THE POINT BUT WE CERTAINLY USE THEM SOME AND OBVIOUSLY, I WANT FLEXIBILITY IN THE CONTRACT TO NOT HAVE TO PAY THE TOTAL AMOUNT IF WE DON'T NEED IT.

>> I WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT 1551 BILLS WERE FILED

YESTERDAY. >> IT'S GOING TO BE A BUSY

SESSION. >> YES.

>> AS WRITTEN, COMMISSIONERS, IT'S JUST ANNUAL. AS WRITTEN IT WILL BE 5000 PER MONTH. IF YOU WANT MORE FLEXIBILITY IN THAT, WE CAN CERTAINLY GO BACK AND ADD THAT TO THE CONTRACT AS AN EDIT AND THEN, YOU KNOW, ACTUALLY SEE IF THEY ARE

WILLING TO ACCEPT THAT. >> RIGHT. SO, I WOULD MAKE THE MOTION THEN TO AMEND THE CONTRACT TO PROVIDE THAT WE PAY LEGISLATIVE CONSULTANTS, AND I WOULD LIKE TO DO THIS BECAUSE THIS WILL BE THE SAME ISSUE . IS THAT OKAY?

>> THEY ARE BOTH THE SAME. YES. LET ME POINT OUT ONE MORE THING BEFORE WE MAKE THIS MOTION. I MEAN, I DID TALK TO THEM YESTERDAY AND FROM KENT THAT THEY HAD A NINE-MONTH SUPPLEMENTAL CONTRACT THAT RAN APRIL 2022 TO JUNE 2023 TOTALING 45,000 AND IT GOT THROUGH THE LAST REGULAR SESSION. THEY COVERED FOUR SUBSEQUENT SPECIAL SESSIONS FOR US AS PRO BONO. THEY HAVE BEEN EXCELLENT. THEY HAVE WORKED TIRELESSLY FOR THE COUNTY AND WORKED WITH OUR DEPARTMENT HEADS AND OTHER ELECTED OFFICIALS SO I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND , COMMISSIONER CHESNEY, BUT THESE PEOPLE HAVE WORKED WITH US BEFORE SESSION, AFTER SESSION, PROMOTING OUR IDEAS AND MAKING SURE WE ARE APPRISED OF WHAT IS GOING ON.

>> JUDGE, I WOULD LIKE TO GO BACK AND CHECK THE PRO BONO THING . I THOUGHT WE MADE UP FOR THAT. I REALLY THINK WE DID. SO I AM NOT -- I KNOW YOU HAVE THAT INFORMATION FROM THEM, BUT I'M NOT TAKING THAT AT FACE VALUE. I KNOW YOU JUST GOT IT FROM THEM. I DON'T REMEMBER US NOT PAYING THEM AND GOING BACK AND DOING SOMETHING. I WOULD LIKE TO CHECK THAT BEFORE WE JUST TAKE THAT. AT THE END OF THE DAY, WE NEED TO GO BACK AND MAKE UP SOME TIME, I AM CERTAINLY WILLING TO PAY

[00:45:03]

THEM FOR FOUR MONTHS OF WORK IF THEY ARE WORKING

>> I KNOW WHAT I WAS THINKING.

>> THAT'S ANOTHER AGENDA ITEM AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE WHAT THEY DID DURING THAT TIME. I DON'T REMEMBER US DOING THAT, BUT I COULD BE FORGETTING. BUT I DON'T EXPECT ANYBODY TO DO ANYTHING FOR FREE. BUT, ON THIS PARTICULAR CONTRACT, IT BASICALLY, I READ IT, AND WE ARE -- WE DON'T HAVE ANY FLEXIBILITY FOR MY MOTION WAS TO GO BACK AND PROVIDE THAT WE HAVE THAT FLEXIBILITY IN SOME MANNER THAT AFTER A SESSION IS OVER WE CAN REVIEW THAT WE CAN'T EVEN EXTENDED THROUGH JUNE, JUST TO GIVE US A LITTLE TIME. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO DO

THAT. >> I THINK YOU JUST LEAVE IT UNTIL AFTER SESSION IS OVER BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW WITH THE SURPLUS AND THERE COULD BE MULTIPLE SPECIAL SESSIONS.

>> OF WHICH WE MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE SPECIAL SESSIONS. THERE MAY BE NO NEED FOR US TO HAVE THEM INVOLVED AT ALL. MAYBE THE MOTION SHOULD BE WE SIGN THE CONTRACT FOR SIX MONTHS AT $5000 A MONTH. AND COME BACK JUNE 1ST. IS A SOME TIME. SO, MY MOTION WOULD BE WE AGREE TO PAY THEM $5000 A MONTH TO THE END OF JUNE BUT WE PUT IT BACK ON THE AGENDA FOR JUNE 1ST AND COME BACK AND SEE WHAT WE NEED TO DO THEN. I AGREE, THEY ARE GREAT TEAM AND THEY DO A GREAT JOB. I HAVE NO ISSUE WITH EITHER ONE OF THEM CONTINUING ON THE TEAM. I JUST DON'T WANT TO OVERPAY.

>> COMMISSIONER FOR >> WHICH IS MY COMMON THEME.

>> THROUGH JUNE WOULD BE NINE MONTHS.

>> I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD BE PAYING THEM $5000 A MONTH FROM OCTOBER, EITHER. I THINK WE OUGHT TO PAY AN AMOUNT PRECESSION AND DURING SESSION. I DON'T KNOW WHERE WE ARE .

WERE NOT PAYING THEM ANYTHING RIGHT NOW.

>> THIS WOULD BE THE CURRENT YEAR'S CONTRACT.

>> I APPRECIATE YOU CLARIFYING THAT. WE WILL PAY THEM $5000 A MONTH FOR UP TO -- THROUGH JUNE. AND THEN WE RESIDED -- REVISITED AFTER THAT. OBVIOUSLY, THEY ARE DOING STUFF NOW TO PREPARE FOR SESSION. BUT IT'S NOT LIKE SESSION. THEY ARE NOT , NO OFFENSE, THEY ARE NOT DOING THAT MUCH FOR US THAT THEY WILL BE DOING DURING THE SESSION. THAT WOULD BE MY MOTION. AT $2500 A MONTH FOR OCTOBER, NOVEMBER, DECEMBER AND $5000 A MONTH FOR JANUARY THROUGH JUNE AND THAT REVISITED AFTER THAT. IF THAT DIES, THEN IT DIES.

>> COMMISSIONER, YOU SAID $2500 FOR OCTOBER, NOVEMBER AND

DECEMBER. >> FOR EACH. YES, MA'AM.

>> I WILL SECOND IT . JUST FOR THE SAKE OF DISCUSSION, THE SESSION REALLY STARTED MONDAY. I MEAN, LIKE THE JUDGE POINTED OUT, HOW MANY BILLS THAT ARE OUT THERE, WE KNOW THE WORK THAT OUR LEGISLATIVE TEAM DOES FOR US IS A LOT OF DEFENSE AND A LOT OF PROTECTION OF OUR INTERESTS THAT WE HAVE AS NUECES COUNTY AND ALONG WITH ALL THE OTHER COUNTIES. 253 COUNTIES. THERE IS ONE THAT BUCKS THE SYSTEM BECAUSE THEY ARE VERY DILIGENT COUNTY AND THEY DON'T NEED A LOT OF HELP THAT US REGULAR COUNTIES DO, BUT ASIDE FROM THAT, I AGREE. I KNOW YOUR MESSAGE IS NOT THAT THEY ARE NOT DOING THE WORK THEY NEED TO, BUT THE WORK DID START MONDAY. SO, IT IS AN ACTIVE PROCESS. THEY ARE GOING THROUGH ALL THE BILLS TO SEE WHAT IS LINED UP AGAINST US ALREADY. WE SHOULD HAVE A VERY ROBUST LEGISLATIVE SESSION. WE NEED TO THEM IN, JUDGE. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THEM COME IN ON DECEMBER 11TH AND BE ABLE TO HAVE ONE LAST FOLLOW-UP BEFORE THEY REALLY GET INTO THE SESSION IN JANUARY. I WORRY BECAUSE THERE WILL BE SO MANY ITEMS THAT WILL PICK AT US AND SO MANY MANDATES THAT WILL BE PLACED ON A, AGAIN, THAT WE HAVE TO RENT THE COST FOR PRINT OUR LOCAL TAXPAYERS. WITH OUR TAX BASE LATEST, IT IS MORE DIFFICULT EVERY YEAR. AND WE ARE TIGHTENING THE BUDGET EVERY YEAR AS WE GO DOWN. AND I KNOW THAT IS WHAT YOUR MOTIVATION IS. TO BE AS DIRECT WITH THE PAYMENTS AS POSSIBLE. BUT I FEEL THE WORK HAS ALREADY BEGUN. RIGHT? I MEAN, HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GO THROUGH ALL THOSE -- YOU CAN ARGUE IT MAY NOT TAKE TOO LONG, BUT I WENT THEM ACTIVE EVERY DAY AND I KNOW THEY HAVE BEEN THERE EVERY DAY AND WE HAVE WORKED THE

[00:50:04]

PRICE DOWN AND STARTED OUT WITH THREE REPRESENTATIVES WORKING FOR US AND NOW WE ARE DOWN TO TWO. OVER THE YEARS WE HAVE SHRUNK IT DOWN. I WOULD LIKE FOR US TO SUPPORT THE CONTRACT WE HAVE AND IF WE NEED TO MODIFY IT LIKE WE HAD BEFORE, AND LET'S DO THAT. LET'S HAVE THAT DISCUSSION BUT NOT AT THE SAKE OF DELAYING THE I HATE THE MESSAGE THAT SCRUTINY IS IMPORTANT, AND THAT IS WHAT WE ARE ASKED TO DO, SO I AM NOT SAYING LET'S NOT GIVE -- BUT EVERY TIME OUR LEGISLATIVE TEAM HAS COME TO US, IT IS ALWAYS WEIGHT AND IT'S ALWAYS REDUCING DOWN THE PRICE WHICH THEY HAVE SAID, OKAY. WITH THEIR BACKGROUND THEY HAVE, THEY CAN EASILY SAY, WERE GOING TO GO WORK FOR SOMEONE ELSE. THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER GROUPS, THAT WE BUILT UP THAT RELATIONSHIP. I KNOW WE HAVE HAD A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR LOCAL DELEGATION AND I AM SURE THEY ARE WORKING ON THE NEW DELEGATION WE HAVE.

YOU HAVE BEEN THERE AND KNOW AS WELL AS I DO WHEN THOSE THINGS START AND THERE ARE SO MANY NEW PEOPLE COMING IN AND SO MANY BLOCKS THAT THEY HAVE TO STOP THINGS FROM PEOPLE'S AGENDA AND GET TO KNOW NEW PEOPLE. I THINK ON OCTOBER 1ST TO THE END OF SESSION, IF YOU WANT TO AMEND -- I COULD GO FOR THAT, BUT I THINK THEY HAVE DEFINITELY BEEN WORKING AND IN CONTACT WITH MY OFFICE AND EVERY OTHER ELECTED OFFICE. I KNOW THEY HAVE CONTACTED THE SHERIFF AND I BELIEVE THE COUNTY ATTORNEY HAS BEEN IN COMMUNICATION WITH THEM. THEY ARE WORKING FOR THE COUNTY SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THIS YEAR.

INSTEAD OF, PEOPLE HAVE BEEN WAITING A LONG TIME FOR THIS IMPROVEMENT IN THE BUILDING. SO I DON'T SEE WHY THIS GENTLEMAN WHO WANTS TO COME IN AND POSTPONE THIS 16 AND 17, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE BEEN WORKING HARD SINCE I CAME IN FROM THE DAY FIRST BECAUSE NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE IN THOSE AREAS. THESE PEOPLE DESERVE IT.

>> THE MOTION RIGHT NOW IS TO TABLE AS PER THE COMMISSIONER AND I STATED IN MY MOTION.

WE HAVE DONE THIS IN PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIONS, YOU DID IT WHEN I CAME TO OFFICE. COMMISSIONER I AM A FRIEND OF YOURS AS WELL AS COMMISSIONER PRESLEY AND I BELIEVE IN BEING FAIR. WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. ANY OPPOSED? THE MOTION PASSES 3-2. YOU FORCED MY HAND

ON THAT AND I'M VERY SORRY. >> YOU ALREADY MADE UP YOUR

MIND. >> WE DO IT LIKE THIS EVERY TIME SOMEONE NEW COMES IN AND YOU KNOW IT'S. EVERYTHING THAT

AFFECTS THAT. >> BOTH OF YOU CAME OUT ON FACEBOOK SUPPORTING MIKE PRESLEY. YOUR ENCOURAGING

PEOPLE TO VOTE. >> I WAS I TOLD YOU AHEAD OF

TIME. >> IT SHOULD NOT BE CARRIED ON.

>> YOU ARE THE ONE CARRYING ON IN HERE. WE HAVE ITEMS TO

JAIL FACILITIES. >> BEFORE WE GO FURTHER I WOULD LIKE TO CLARIFY ONE THING. IF WE HAVE THIS IN JANUARY, THE

SALARY BEING PAID? >> IT'S NOT.

>> FROM THE BACK LIKE A PHONE , ARE YOU SPEAKING? SORRY. I ALMOST CALLED YOU OUT. OKAY SORRY.

>> THEY SAID THAT THE BOARD VOTED AND THEY SAID THE AMOUNT THEY WERE WILLING TO DO. I UNDERSTAND YOU HAVE ARPA FUNDS YOU WOULD LIKE TO DO. I ASSUMED THOSE, JUST LIKE ANY OF THESE WITH OTHER PROJECTS WOULD BE PUT INTO THE MOU WITH HR, WITH PUBLIC WORKS AND WITH INLAND PARKS. THE PROJECTS ARE NOT GOING AWAY THEY WOULD BE PUT IN THE MOU SECTION. THERE IS GOING TO BE A MEETING . WILL TALK ABOUT A MEETING WHERE I WOULD LIKE TO ADD A SEPARATE MEETING STRICTLY FOR THE MOU PROJECTS.

I DON'T KNOW HOW ON THE ALLOCATION. I KNOW WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL MEETINGS. I HAVE HAD MEETINGS WITH YOU WHERE YOU HAVE SAID YOU DID NOT THINK IT WOULD GO FORWARD. HAVE A HARD TIME VOTING FOR EMPLOYEES IN A POSITION WHERE THERE IS NO JOB. SO IF THERE IS SOMETHING TANGIBLE THAT YOU CAN SHOW, I THINK THEY HAVE BEEN TALKING WITH THE CITY, THE CITY DOING THE HEALTH DISTRICT. BUT IT JUST, WE TRIED, WE WENT BACK AND FORTH SEVERAL TIMES AND WE DON'T HAVE THE FUNDING. YOU VOTED AGAINST THE BUDGET FOR IT, WE HAVE TO DO ALL WE CAN AFFORD AND ALL WE CAN DO AS PER VOTED ON THE BOARD THAT

FINANCES. >> STILL ASKING FROM ARPA FUNDS AND I WANT TO USE THEM THE WAY I WANT TO USE THEM. I DON'T TELL YOU THAT YOU CAN'T ANOTHER SALARY FOR CONSTABLES OR ANYBODY. THAT'S THE WAY IT WORKS. MY MONEY IS ALSO MY MONEY AS FAR AS THE ARPA FUNDING IS CONCERNED. TO USE THE WAY I SEE FIT. I WANT TO DO SALARIES UNTIL THEY FIND SOMETHING ELSE THAT'S FINE. WE DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE HEALTH DISTRICT. WE HAVE NOT DECIDED HOW IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN, HOW WE WILL HANDLE IT.

SO WHAT IS THE GUARANTEE, WE HAVE NOT DECIDED YET JUDGE AND

[01:25:01]

THEIR EMOTIONS. ALL THE ONES THAT I READ NOW WE HAVE TO UNDO THOSE THAT WERE PASSED. MOTIONS WERE PASSED 50 NOW HAVE TO GO BACK AND UNDO THEM WITH A MOTION OVER A MOTION BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT IT NOW. HOW CAN YOU PUT THAT IN THE PAST? I MENTIONED THE COUNTY ATTORNEY TO CHECK THIS. WE HAD A MOTION THAT WAS PASSED HOW DO WE GO BACK AND UNDO ALL OF THIS WITHOUT HAVING TO UNDO MOTIONS ON EACH ONE OF THOSE THINGS PASSED A MOTION 50 WE GO BACK AND UNDO THAT SO WE CAN CONTINUE FORWARD? MAKE A MOTION TO UNDO THE FIRST ONE? NOW WE

HAVE TO MAKE A NEW MOTION. >> YOU WOULD RESCIND THE FIRST.

>> CORRECT WE HAVE TO RESCIND AND WE HAVE NOT DONE THAT.

>> WE HAVE POSTPONED THIS. >> YOU CAN POSTPONE AND PUTTING PEOPLE SALARIES IN JEOPARDY OF NOT GETTING THEIR SALARY FOR WHATEVER REASON BECAUSE THERE'S NOT A SALARY FOR THEM.

IT'S LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE WE SAID AND IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. CONTINGENT ON WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. NOT SAYING WE WILL KEEP THEM FOR A YEAR OR THE WHOLE YEAR OR TWO YEARS, IT IS CONTINGENCY ON WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN BETWEEN NOW AND JANUARY. THE NEW COMMISSIONER CAN THINK DIFFERENTLY OR DO WHATEVER. I THINK WE OWE IT TO OUR EMPLOYEES LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE TO PLACE THEM SOMEWHERE ELSE. WHY NOW THESE EMPLOYEES ARE BEING TREATED DIFFERENTLY THAN OTHER EMPLOYEES? THIS IS MY THING WITH MY QUESTION. THE SALARIES AND I DON'T KNOW THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT WOULD CONSIDER THAT TO EXTEND ANOTHER THREE OR FOUR MONTHS, BUT I AM JUST SAYING SALARIES ARE GOOD

UNTIL DECEMBER I BELIEVE. >> THROUGH NOVEMBER IS MY UNDERSTANDING. THE EFFECTIVE OF THE TABLE MEANS IT'S CONTINUED

UNTIL YOU DECIDE. >> IT IS THROUGH NOVEMBER.

>> JUST SAYING. SO NOW THEY WON'T HAVE A JOB BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO GIVE THEM A JOB? I CAN'T BELIEVE WE ARE DOING THIS TO OUR OWN EMPLOYEES. BUT THEN JUDGE THIS IS YOUR CALL,

TOO. YOU KNOW . >> I WAS WILLING TO PULL OUT 15 TO DISCUSS UNTIL IT GOT UGLY. I'M SORRY EVERYTHING GOT TABLED. WE HAVE TABLED THIS WHICH MEANS WE ARE STAYING WITH THE CITY COUNTY HEALTH DISTRICT. WE HAVE PUSHED AND PUSHED THIS AND I HAVE ASKED MANY TIMES AND HAD MANY MEETINGS WITH THEM. IF YOU HAVE NO HEALTH DISTRICT OVER THERE, THERE IS NO JOB. SO, FIND ANOTHER POSITION THEY WANT TO WORK AT UNTIL YOU DECIDE OR SOMETHING IF THERE IS ANOTHER OPEN POSITION IN THE COUNTY, BY ALL MEANS. WE DO THAT FOR EVERYONE, BUT NOT AT THE BUILDING SITTING COLLECTING A CHECK THAT WE HAVE NOT BEEN DOING ANYTHING.

>> FIND THEM A JUDGE IS AT THE SAME PAY?

>> I LIKE THAT DR. GONZALEZ SAY A FEW THINGS.

>> WE ALREADY TABLED THESE ITEMS. THERE WILL BE ARPA MEETING ON THE 19TH FOR YOU CAN BRING IT UP IF YOU WANT TO BECAUSE IT IS ARPA RELATED. WE HAVE TABLED THESE ITEMS.

>> LET ME CLARIFY SOMETHING PLEASE.

>> WHAT ITEM? THIS IS OUT OF ORDER. YOU DON'T JUST GET TO DO THIS, THE JUDGE IS IN CHARGE OF THE MEETING. I KNOW YOU THINK YOU ARE BUT WE ARE NOT ON YOUR ITEM. I'M TELL YOU EXACTLY WHAT I'M TELLING YOU. I'M CALLING A POINT OF ORDER BECAUSE THERE IS NO ITEM THAT THIS CAN BE DISCUSSED. THAT'S A POINT OF ORDER. THE JUDGE NEEDS TO TRAVEL DOWN AND MOVE

ON. >> I WANT TO REOPEN PUBLIC

COMMENT. >> THIS CAN BE PUT ON THE

AGENDA FOR THE 19TH. >> WE HAVE VOTED AND TABLED AND THERE HAS BEEN ENOUGH DISCUSSION. I WILL OPEN UP, THREE MINUTES COMMENT DR. GONZALEZ DO YOU WANT TO SPEAK? WE HAVE DONE IN THE PAST FOR PUBLIC COMMENT, BUT THIS ITEM HAS BEEN TABLED, WE CANNOT TALK TO YOU OR SPEAK, YOU HAVE THREE
