AND INDIVISIBLE . >> THANK YOU, YOU MAY BE SEATED. IT IS TUESDAY NOVEMBER 19TH . WE ARE AT 901 LEOPARD IN THE NUECES COUNTY COURTROOM . WE HAVE COMMISSIONER CHESNEY AND MYSELF PRESENT. I WILL CALL THIS MEETING TO ORDER AT 9:10.

WE HAVE A QUORUM. I THINK THERE ARE NO ACTION ITEMS SO THERE SHOULDN'T BE ANNOUNCEMENTS OF DISCLOSURE OF CONFLICT OF

[1. Canvass and declare the results of the November 5, 2024 General Election in accordance with Chapter 67 of the Texas Election Code.]

CANVAS AND DECLARE THE RESULTS OF THE NOVEMBER 5TH 2024 GENERAL ELECTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH CHAPTER 67 OF THE TEXAS ELECTION CODE AND THE COUNTY CLERK HAS PROVIDED US WITH THE REPORT FOR EACH PRECINCT. I WILL MAKE EVERYONE AWARE WE HAVE RECEIVED A REQUEST TO RECOUNT IN PRECINCT 1 . ALL PARTIES HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED BUT THIS IS NOT THE OFFICIAL PETITION FOR IT. A CANVAS WILL CONTINUE WITH ALL ELECTED PARTIES BEING CANVASSED TODAY. ANYTHING YOU NEED TO ADD?

>> CLARIFICATION FOR YOU OR THE COUNTY CLERK, WE STILL WILL CANVAS AND DECLARE THE RESULTS. I MEAN, JUST BECAUSE WE ARE TAKING THIS ACTION IT DOESN'T IMPACT THAT.

>> IF NOTHING CHANGES IN THE RECOUNT THAN THIS CANVAS COUNTS TOWARD GOING FORWARD. IF THE CHANGES WE WILL HAVE TO BRING THAT ONE RACE BACK FOR A RE-CANVAS.

>> UNTIL AFTER THE CANVAS? >> OKAY.

>> ALL PARTIES HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED. IT SHOULD BE AT 5

P.M. TO FILE. >> I MAKE A MOTION TO CANVAS AND DECLARE RESULT OF THE NOVEMBER 5TH 2024 GENERAL ELECTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH CHAPTER 67 OF THE TEXAS

ELECTION CODE. >> MOTION AND A SECOND. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. ANY OPPOSED? THE MOTION PASSES.

>> WHAT A GREAT JOB THE COUNTY CLERK AND HER STAFF DID IN RUNNING THE LAST ELECTION. THAT WAS AN OVERWHELMINGLY LARGE ELECTION WITH A HUGE TURNOUT . I DIDN'T HAVE ANYBODY CALL ME AND HAVE COMPLAINTS ABOUT ANYTHING. MAYBE THEY JUST DIDN'T CALL ME. USUALLY WE GET THEM. I JUST WANT TO COMPLIMENT YOU AND YOUR STAFF. GOOD JOB. PASS THAT ON.

>> WANT TO THANK MY TEAM AND THE STAFF AND OF THE POLL WORKERS. ALTHOUGH LOCATIONS THAT ALLOW US TO BE ELECTION

LOCATIONS. IT'S A TEAM EFFORT. >> I APPRECIATE YOU SAYING

THAT. >> THEY ARE. I APPRECIATE ALL THEY DO. ABSOLUTELY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT.

>> AND ALL THE WORK THAT OUR OFFICE DID ON SELECTING THE LOCATIONS AND THE WORKERS. YES. IT WAS A GREAT JOB. A GREAT COMBINED EFFORT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

[00:05:01]

>> IF I LEFT ANYBODY OUT I'M SORRY.

[2. Discuss individual and countywide projects for Interagency agreement through MOU option related to obligating American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds, bring back to Commissioners Court meeting for consideration on December 11, 2024, in order to meet the December 31, 2024, obligation deadline.]

>> THANK YOU. >> MOVING ON TO ITEM NUMBER TWO, DISCUSS INDIVIDUAL AND COUNTYWIDE PROJECTS FOR INTERAGENCY AGREEMENT THROUGH MOU OPTION RELATED TO OBLIGATING ARBOR FUNDS. I BELIEVE WE RECEIVED A PRINTOUT OF THAT. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL MEETINGS WITH THE DEPARTMENT . I'M NOT SURE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. WE DO HAVE THEM HERE IF YOU HAVE IT MET WITH GRANT ABOUT YOUR PROJECT . DID YOU GET A CHANCE TO MEET WITH EVERYBODY OF THE

PROJECTS ON THIS LIST? >> WE HAVE NOT WITH COMMISSIONERS ONE ON ONE JUST YET . WE ARE HAPPY TO DO THAT AFTER TODAY'S DISCUSSION. I THINK THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL.

>> AS YOU HAVE IT ON HERE IS THE SAFEST WAY FOR US TO PROCEED FORWARD WITH THIS AMOUNT OF TIME AS WELL.

>> WHAT IS THIS? >> THE DIFFERENT MOU WE WILL HAVE WITH I.T., THIS WAS THE SUGGESTION AS A SEPARATE MOU WITH THE MEDICAL EXAMINER , SEPARATE MOU WITH THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE, HUMAN RESOURCES , INLAND PARK AND PUBLIC WORKS . WAS THERE ANOTHER ONE? COASTAL PARKS, YES. TERESA HAS BEEN IN ON ALL OF THESE REMAIN I BELIEVE MOVING FORWARD THE BALANCES WE HAVE , HAVING OPPORTUNITIES TO SPEND IT ON AND WHAT HAS BEEN EXPLAINED TO US IS THESE LITTLE BALANCES IF THERE ARE SMALL AMOUNTS LATER WE CAN COMBINE TO DO AND ALREADY BID OUT PROJECT AND ALTERNATE IF WE HAVE ENOUGH FUNDS IF THERE'S SOMETHING WE CAN PUT THIS ON IF YOU DON'T HAVE SPACE OR IF YOUR PROJECT FAILS, ANYTHING THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN BID OUT CAN BE ALLOCATED TO THAT . YOU CAN'T CREATE A NEW SCOPE OF WORK BUT THE ALTERNATE ONE, I THINK THERE'S SOME THAT HAVE MULTIPLE ALTERNATES. SOME OF

THE PROJECTS HAVE. >> QUESTION. ON THE COASTAL PARKS MOU I UNDERSTAND I GUESS THEY DIDN'T GET --

>> THEY COULDN'T GET IT IN TIME SO THIS IS A SAFETY NET.

>> WHY IS THERE AN MOU RECOMMENDED ON THE SECOND ONE?

>> WE ARE RECOMMENDING THE MOU BECAUSE OF THE AMENDMENT THAT

HASN'T BEEN TO COURT YET. >> WHICH AMENDMENT?

>> THE AMENDMENT FOR BOB PAUL. WITH THE ACTUAL AMOUNT OF MONEY STATED IN THE AMENDMENT COMING FROM ARPA FUNDS. SINCE THIS IS A LARGE PROJECT AND THERE'S A LOT OF FUNDS IN IT WE WOULD RECOMMEND THAT IN AN AMENDMENT THERE IS A CLEAR LINE THAT SAYS THIS IS HOW MUCH MONEY FROM ARPA IS BEING CONTRIBUTED TO THIS PROJECT . RIGHT NOW THAT AMENDMENT IS 2.289 MILLION .

THAT WAS THE EMAIL WE HAD SENT A COUPLE DAYS AGO AT MICHAEL AND JASON, THEY WERE WORKING ON THE AMENDMENT.

>> WHAT I DON'T GET IS I KNOW I HAVE MORE MONEY THAN I THOUGHT BASED ON THE EMAILS BUT I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU THINK THE 2.289 HAS NOT BEEN BROUGHT TO COURT BECAUSE EVERYTHING HAS BEEN VOTED ON AND BROUGHT TO COURT.

>> IN THE CONTRACT IT DOES NOT CLEARLY STATE HOW MUCH ARPA FUNDS ARE BEING CONTRIBUTED TO THAT PROJECT .

>> YES. >> THAT HAS TO BE IN THE CONTRACT EVEN THOUGH THE AMOUNT WAS ALLOCATED TO THE CONTRACT? THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT WE WERE TOLD WE HAD TO DO WAS TO ALLOCATED AND BE UNDER CONTRACT AND THAT IS UNDER CONTRACT.

>> IT IS, YES. >> WHY NOT JUST DO A CONTRACT

AMENDMENT? >> WE RECOMMEND THE AMENDMENT BUT IT HASN'T BEEN BROUGHT TO COURT YET. IT'S PLAN FOR COURT FOR 12/11 BUT AS A SAFETY NET THAT IS THE LAST COURT OF THE YEAR WE ARE SAYING WE WOULD RECOMMEND AN MOU JUST IN CASE , BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY. THAT'S UP TO YOU GUYS.

>> YOUR THOUGHT IS WE NEED A CONTRACT AMENDMENT ON 12/11 .

[00:10:03]

>> MICHAEL AND JASON HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS AMENDMENT. WE HAVE SEEN THE AMENDMENT AND IT JUST HASN'T BEEN BROUGHT TO COURT YET BECAUSE ANOTHER THING IS THE AMOUNT IS CHANGING SO IT'S HARD FOR THEM TO PUT THAT AMOUNT IN THE AMENDMENT BECAUSE THEN IT CHANGES AND THEY DON'T WANT TO KEEP CHANGING IT.

THAT'S BEEN THE ISSUE. >> WHO IS WORKING ON THE

CONTRACT? THE COUNTY ATTORNEY? >> I BELIEVE SO.

>> I'M TRYING TO AVOID MOU. I GUESS I WILL HAVE TO DO ONE UNLESS I CAN FIGURE THAT OUT BECAUSE I THOUGHT I WAS DONE AT THE LAST MEETING AND HAD EVERYTHING DONE UNTIL BACK AND

FORTH WE HAD THIS WEEK. >> THE ONLY REASON WE WENT TO HAVE IT IS IF JASON IS STILL -- JASON AND MICHAEL IN PURCHASING . THEY HAVE THIS DOWN REALLY WELL ALSO. USUALLY BY THE TIME WE GET IT, IT IS PRETTY WELL FINISHED ESPECIALLY WITH

EVERYTHING WE'VE WORKED ON. >> DO I NEED TO PUT THAT ON AS AN AGENDA ITEM? WILL SOMEONE ELSE DO THAT?

>> IT SHOULD BE PURCHASING. >> I DON'T SEE MICHAEL HERE SO I WILL ASSUME SOMEONE WILL TELL MICHAEL HE HAS TO PUT THIS ON AND I WOULD ASK WE DO THIS. I GET WHAT YOU'RE DOING IT NOW, BUT I WOULD RATHER DO IT AS A CONTRACT AMENDMENT TO GET THAT APPROVED AND THE JUDGE DECIDE AND ALL THAT. I DO HAVE MORE QUESTIONS ON THAT PARTICULAR THING .

>> I AM GETTING NOTIFIED LIVE WE HAVE ALREADY DONE OUR PART

ON THAT. >> ISN'T IT COOL? REAL TIME , SO TECHNOLOGICALLY SAVVY OVER THERE. OKAY. YOU HAD PUT SOME MONEY WHEN WE DID THAT TO SWITCH SOMETHING.

>> THAT IS WHAT MADE IT HIGHER. I THINK THAT MAY BE WHAT THEY WERE WAITING ON BECAUSE A COUPLE TIMES WE HAD TALKED ABOUT CHANGING 600,000 OR SOMETHING. YES.

>> MY QUESTION IS WHEN YOU ALLOCATED IT , YOU ALLOCATED IT TOWARDS SO I'M WONDERING IF WE NEED TO CLEAN THAT UP? IT'LL BE IN THE CONTRACT BUT WE MAY NEED TO CLEAR IT UP BECAUSE IT WOULD PROBABLY BE BETTER IF ALL THE ARPA MONEY WAS ON ONE PART

OF THE PEER . >> THAT'S OUR RECOMMENDATION.

IT IS REALLY HARD TO SPLIT IT. >> WE PROBABLY NEED TO CLEAN THAT UP BECAUSE I THINK YOUR MOTION WAS TO SWITCH OUT AND PUT IT ON THE PEER WHEREAS NOW IT LOOKS LIKE ON HERE IT IS ALL ON THIS, SO THAT'LL BE PART OF THAT CLEANUP BECAUSE 2.289 AND THE 500,000 WORK GAVE WE WILL HAVE TO MAKE SURE I THINK THEY ARE FINE WITH WHATEVER. WE STILL NEED IT BUT WE NEED TO FLIP THAT TO WHERE IT WILL GO TO THE PEER TO WHERE ALL THE ARPA MONEY WILL GO TOWARD THE THIRD PARTY. DO WE NEED TO DO

ANYTHING? >> WHAT DID YOU SAY? ORIGINALLY THE 2 MILLION AND I'VE ADDED SOME WAS MINE, THE JUDGE AND THE PORT. THE JUDGE PUT 600 AND WE SWITCHED SOME MONEY BUT I THINK SHE PUT IT TOWARDS THE PEER WHEN WE DID THAT. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE CLEAN THAT UP TO, BECAUSE NOW THE PORTS OF MONEY WOULD GO TOWARDS THE PEER AND ALL OF THE ARPA FUNDS WOULD GO TOWARD THE THIRD-PARTY CONCESSIONAIRE.

>> THEY ARE WANTING ALL THE ARPA MONEY TO GO TO THE PEER AND THE ADDITIONAL FUND TO GO TOWARD CONCESSION. THEY ARE RECOMMENDING THAT THE ARPA FUNDS ARE DEDICATED TO THE PEER

ITSELF AND NOT CONCESSION. >> THAT'S NOT WHAT THIS SAYS.

THIS IS RECONSTRUCTING THE PEER ON BUILDING USE AS A

THIRD-PARTY CONCESSION. >> OUR RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE TO NOT SPLIT EXPENSES LIKE YOU'RE SAYING. IT'S HARD TO FOLLOW. WHEN AN AUDITOR COMES IN YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THE STORY TELLS ITSELF. WE WOULD RECOMMEND WHATEVER DECISION IS MADE OBVIOUSLY UP TO YOU GUYS THAT IT IS CLEAR ON WHERE THE

MONEY WENT. >> YOU HAVE AN ISSUE, THAT'LL

GO BACK . >> I TRADED MINE OUT. IT'S YOURS NOW. YEAH. IT WAS NOT MY VOTE.

[00:15:07]

>> TIMMY, THE AMOUNT OF MONEY WE HAVE IS PROBABLY THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT WILL TAKE THAT THIRD-PARTY CONCESSIONAIRE SPACE. UNLESS YOU THINK THAT IS A PROBLEM TELLING THE STORY WILL BE EASIER BECAUSE YOU WILL SAY IT ALL WENT TO ONE PLACE.

IF YOU PUT IT ON THE PEER IT'S GOING TO BE 10% OF THE PEER VALUE AND I THINK THAT IS A MESS FOR AN AUDITOR TO LOOK AT.

YOU'RE SAYING YOU WANTED TO GO TOWARDS THE PEER AND NOT

CONCESSION? >> WE HAD THIS RECOMMENDATION.

THAT'S BECAUSE THE PEER AND THE COUNTY OWNED BUILDING, THE PEER COULD FIT. THE COUNTY BUILDING WE SUGGESTED THAT GOES INTO 6.1 REVENUE LOSS. THE PEER COULD ALSO FIT INTO A DIFFERENT CATEGORY . THAT IS FOR OPEN SPACES, GREEN SPACES, NEIGHBORHOOD FEATURES. WE THINK THAT COULD FIT INTO THAT CATEGORY FOR ELIGIBILITY. WE THINK THE PEER COULD BE A STRONGER ELIGIBILITY CASE THAN THE COUNTY BUILDING. THE COUNTY

OWNED BUILDING -- YES. >> IT FITS IN THAT CATEGORY 100% BECAUSE WE LOSE REVENUE BY NOT HAVING THAT. DO WE NEED THE

LOST REVENUE CATEGORY? >> IT'S GROWING. THAT IS THE

OTHER ISSUE. AS MONEY MOVES . >> WE SHOULD BE DONE. GROWING IS FINE. WE CAN GO TO THE 10 MILLION.

>> WHAT DID WE SAY? 7 MILLION? WE ADDED IT UP .

>> LET'S SAY 7.5. WE DON'T HAVE 2.5 MORE MILLION TO ALLOCATE SO WHY ARE WE WORRIED? I'M ASKING LIKE I'M NOT BEING CRITICAL I'M ASKING WHY WE CARE BECAUSE , TO ME, KEEPING IT ALL ON ONE PART OF THE PEER --

>> I WAS TOLD SOMETHING DIFFERENT. I WAS TOLD WE WANTED TO KEEP THAT AVAILABLE IN CASE SOMETHING GOT TURNED DOWN AND ANOTHER ALLOCATION THAT WE CAN PUT IT INTO LOST REVENUE.

>> WE HAVE 2.5 MILLION BEFORE WE HIT THE $10 MILLION CAP.

THAT GIVES US 2.5. JUST REMEMBER OUR ORIGINAL DISCUSSION. I'M TRYING TO KEEP THAT CLEAN. THAT WAS A BIG DEAL TO YOU. I'LL BE HONEST I DON'T WANT TO MESS WITH THIS.

UNLESS SOMEONE GIVES ME A MORE COMPELLING REASON I THINK WE NEED TO KEEP IT ALL ON THE CONCESSION SPACE. THAT WAS WHAT THE JUDGE AND I WORKED OUT OVER SIX MONTHS OF DISCUSSION .

TORTURE. YEAH. NOT BETWEEN HER AND I AND ALL BUT TORTURE FOR THE REST OF US. I'M A LITTLE WEARY OF DOING THAT. IF WE DON'T HAVE ANY WE ARE PUSHING UP AND WE HURT 500,000 AWAY OR 2 1/2 MILLION FROM OUR LOST REVENUE CAP I WOULD LIKE TO KEEP IT. THERE'S DEFINITELY A PUBLIC SPACE ELEMENT TO THIS BUILDING IT'S NOT GREEN BUT NEITHER IS A PIER. THE BUILDING IS PURELY ACCESSIBLE BY THE PUBLIC SO I DON'T KNOW WHY IT WOULD BE NOT IN THAT CATEGORY MAYBE NOT AS STRONG, BUT YOU HAVE TO PAY TO GO ON YOU CAN GO IN THE RESTAURANT, YOU DON'T HAVE TO BUY ANYTHING. YOU CAN HAVE A GLASS OF WATER.

WHATEVER. I DON'T KNOW WHY THAT BUILDING WOULD BE LOOKED UPON DIFFERENTLY THAN THE PIER BECAUSE IT'S ALL PUBLIC SPACE.

I'M BEATING A DEAD HORSE. I DON'T SUGGEST CHANGING IT.

>> I HAVE ONE OTHER ITEM TO CONSIDER ON THAT ONE IF YOU'LL HEAR ME OUT. THE TIMING. THE FUNDS NEED BY THE END OF 2026.

ARE WE CONFIDENT IF THIS IS DEDICATED TO THE THIRD-PARTY CONCESSIONAIRE SPACE THAT WILL BE COMPLETE BY THE END OF 2026?

>> YEAH. THE ANSWER IS YEAH. YEAH. YEAH. BELIEVE ME. I THINK THEY WOULD KICK ME OUT. IT'S CONTRACTUALLY OBLIGATED TO BE COMPLETED BY THE END OF 25. IF IT BLEEDS OVER TO THE FIRST PART OF 26 I DON'T THINK IT WILL BE THE CONCESSIONS. I THINK THE PIER IS MORE LIKELY TO GO LONGER OVER THAN THE RESTAURANT SPACE BECAUSE THAT IS A MUCH EASIER BUILD. THAT PIER IS 960 LINEAR FEET INTO THE OCEAN . I THINK THE PIER IS

[00:20:03]

DONE BY THE END OF 25. OKAY. >> WE WOULD RECOMMEND ARPA FUNDS ARE EXPECTED AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. IF YOU'RE GOING TOWARDS THE CONCESSIONAIRE THEN THOSE ARE THE FIRST FUNDS THAT

ARE EXPENDED. >> LISA HAD A QUESTION ON

NOTATION? >> I THINK THEY ARE TRYING TO

KEEP ALL OF THEIR OPTIONS OPEN. >> I WANT TO OPEN THAT. THAT

WAS A BATTLE. I DON'T THINK -- >> IT'S BEEN REPORTED AS WELL.

THAT IS SOMETHING ELSE TO KEEP IN MIND. THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED AS A 6.1 PROJECT TO TREASURY. SORRY, REVENUE LOSS.

>> PLEASE KEEP IT AS THAT ONE. >> OKAY.

>> I KNOW YOU ALL HAVE HAD SEVERAL MEETINGS . DID YOU HAVE A MEETING WITH PUBLIC WORKS ON THEIR LIST OR JUST THE OPEN ITEMS THAT HAD BEEN BROUGHT FORWARD? THEY'RE NOT HERE.

>> NOT ONE OF MTHE COMMISSIONERS OUT THIS MORNING AT A PREVIOUS ENGAGEMENT . HE ASKED ME TO SPEAK ON WHAT HE'S LOOKING AT OR PLANNING. I KNOW WE ARE PLANNING TO CONTINUE WITH THE BUILDING IN THE MOU AS IS. IF THE BUILDING DOESN'T GO HE'S GOING TO PULL HIS 286,000 OUT OF THAT FACILITY. HE'S LOOKING AT NOT WANTING TO DO MOU BUT THAT IS STILL UNDER CONSIDERATION. WHAT HE'S PLANNING TO DO IS CREATE TWO POSITIONS UNDER HIS OFFICE TO CONTINUE HIS PROGRAM FOR THE UNIT, THE MOBILE MEDICAL UNIT . THAT'S WHAT HIS PLAN IS.

>> TO CREATE TWO POSITIONS? WHICH MIGHT THOSE BE SINCE

HE'S NOT HERE? >> THE TWO POSITIONS HE WILL CREATE ARE GOING TO BE UNDER. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE NAME OF

THOSE POSITIONS ARE. >> LET ME SAY 100% DO NOT SUPPORT HIM CREATING POSITIONS UNDER HIS DEPARTMENT BECAUSE IT'S NOT HIS DEPARTMENT AND I 100% DO NOT SUPPORT CREATING TWO POSITIONS TO KEEP TWO EMPLOYEES WE DON'T HAVE STATUTORILY FOUR. THAT IS OUT THERE. IF HE WAS HERE I'D SAY TO HIM. I WOULD 100% VOTE AGAINST THAT.

>> I UNDERSTAND. >> YOU'RE JUST THE MESSENGER.

I'M NOT SHOOTING YOU. >> PRECINCT 2. MORE EMPLOYEES DIRECTLY UNDER HIM THAT REPORT DIRECTLY TO HIM?

>> THAT'S WHAT HIS PROPOSAL IS.

>> OKAY. LET ME RESTATE. I'M 150% AGAINST ANY COMMISSION OR CREATING ANYTHING THAT GOES UNDER HIM THE REST OF US DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO. THAT IS POSSIBLY THE WORST SUGGESTION I'VE EVER HEARD IN THE 10 YEARS ON THIS COURT.

>> THANKS. >> ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON ANY OTHER ITEMS? WE APPRECIATE ALL THE WORK AND ALL THE MEETINGS THAT Y'ALL MADE TIME FOR. WE KNOW THIS IS LAST-MINUTE. THE SCRAMBLING AROUND TO WORK AROUND PEOPLE'S SCHEDULES AND WORK ON PROJECTS THAT ARE MOVING FORWARD AND WITH THE CHANGE COMING IN. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR MAKING THE TIME FOR DOING THIS. I THINK THIS IS A GOOD LIST. I APPRECIATE IT. I THINK IT IS A SAFETY NET FOR US MOVING FORWARD. I WAS TOLD ONE TIME I WOULD BE GLAD TO HEAR THIS CAN BE DONE AND THAT KEEPS US FROM LOSING OUT ON SOME OF THESE PROJECTS. I LOOK FORWARD TO DECEMBER 11TH AND HAVING THE CONTRACTS READY TO SIGN. I HAD KIND OF WANTED TO KEEP THE CONTRACTS A LOT SMALLER. I ONLY HAVE A COUPLE DEPARTMENTS BUT I UNDERSTAND AFTER SEVERAL MEETINGS IT IS CLEANER TO HAVE THE DEPARTMENT HANDLING IT.

>> JUST KIND OF A CATCHALL AGENDA ITEM , YOU WILL PUT ON OR SOMEONE WILL PUT ON. I KNOW I'VE GOT TO DO SOMETHING.

IT'S ALWAYS NICE TO FIND A LITTLE FUND BUT I WILL HAVE

[00:25:02]

>> UNLESS YOU HAVE SOMETHING BECAUSE YOU HAVE A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF FUNDS YOU WANT TO DESIGNATE IT TO I WOULD SUGGEST YOU DO THAT NOW WITH YOUR AVAILABLE FUNDS. IF NOT, THE CATCHALL WILL BE NEXT YEAR ANY UNALLOCATED FUNDS WE WILL COME TOGETHER AS A COURT IF A PROJECT FAILS AND DOESN'T GO FORWARD. WE CAN ONLY USE IT ON PROJECTS THAT HAVE BEEN BID OUT, PROJECTS IN THESE MOU'S , SOMETHING ALREADY DEFINED IN THE SCOPE OF WORK. WE WILL HAVE TO GO FORWARD WITH THOSE, IT CAN'T BE NEW CREATING, IT CAN'T BE BRINGING SOMETHING NEW. IF YOU HAVE YOUR MONEY, THAT IS YOURS. YOU CAN'T DOUBLE ALLOCATE EITHER. YOU HAVE FUNDS AVAILABLE IF YOU WANT TO USE THEM FOR NEXT YEAR, ONE OF THE CATCHALL AMENDMENTS THAT HAVE GONE OUT, THAT'S FINE. IF YOU HAVE A SPECIFIC

PROJECT IT HAS TO BE ON MOU. >> WHAT ABOUT -- I'M NOT SAYING THIS FOR SURE. I'M JUST THROWING THIS OUT WHILE EVERYONE IS HERE. I HAVE TO LOOK, BUT WE HAVE COLLECTIVE BARGAINING COMING UP AND I KNOW WE HAVE USED IN THE PAST FUNDS FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT , BUT I THOUGHT WE MAXED OUT ON THAT.

WE'VE HAD ANOTHER YEAR NOW WE COULD POSSIBLY OR IS THAT NOT AN OPTION ANYMORE? I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT'S RIGHT.

THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF THINGS WE HAVE BEEN TOLD. I WANT TO MAKE DOUBLE SURE SINCE WE ARE INTO ANOTHER YEAR YOU COULD FRONT LOADED I KNOW YOU WOULD SAY -- IT'S GOT ALL BE SENT BY THE END OF 26. IT IS A CONTRACT BUT I KNOW THERE'S THAT LAW ENFORCEMENT MACS. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW FOR SURE THAT IT'S BEEN LOOKED AT AND WE ARE DONE ON THAT CATEGORY. DO YOU KNOW

THAT FOR SURE? >> I DO NOT. LET ME LOOK INTO THAT BECAUSE I'M NOT SURE THE MAX THAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT.

>> I KNOW YOU KICK THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD A LITTLE BIT. I GET THAT. STILL, THAT'S GOING TO BE A BIG ISSUE FOR US. I WOULD LIKE TO AT LEAST KNOW THE ANSWER.

>> THE ONLY AMOUNT THAT COULD BE PUT IN THE MOU MOVING FORWARD IF CONSIDERING THAT WOULD BE YOUR ADDITIONAL FUND.

THAT'S NOT ENOUGH FOR IT. YEAH. WE WERE TOLD IT WAS 20% PER YEAR, 40% MAXIMUM WE HAD USED BOTH OF THOSE AMOUNTS.

>> THOSE RULES HAVE CHANGED SOME AND WE HAVE SEEN CHANGES.

I WANT TO PUT YOU ON THE SPOT. I THOUGHT OF MYSELF. IF YOU LET ME KNOW BEFORE THE NEXT MEETING IT WILL HELP ME.

>> I'M NOT SURE I KNOW ABOUT THAT BUT LET ME LOOK INTO IT.

WE WILL LOOK INTO THAT. DO YOU KNOW WHO TOLD YOU THAT?

>> IT WAS THE AUDITOR I KNOW. IT MAY HAVE BEEN A PRIOR

CONSULTANT. THE PRIOR AUDITOR. >> THEY CHANGE. IT'S BEEN

YEARS NOW. JUST AND ASK. >> THANK YOU.

>> I HATE TO SAY THIS BUT WITH MISTAKES , I DON'T LIKE USING MONEY LIKE THAT FOR SALARIES. WE JUST GOT IN TROUBLE WITH

THAT AS WELL. >> I KNOW.

>> I SUPPORT LAW ENFORCEMENT. WE SHOULD DO EVERYTHING WE CAN FOR THEM, THAT IS NOT MY INTENTION HERE.

>> IT COULD BE FOR -- I DON'T KNOW. OTHER THINGS.

>> YOU HAVE A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT.

>> I DIDN'T KNOW THAT WAS COMING. I WILL GET IT FIGURED

OUT. >> IT SURE DID HELP WHEN WE HAD THAT FUND. WE HAD TO GET OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT HELP AND WHEN WE LOST THAT I THINK THAT'S WHEN WE SAW AND CONTINUE TO SEE SOME OF THE LOSING OF THOSE OFFICERS TO OTHER AGENCIES. IF WE COULD EVEN TEMPORARILY I WOULD SUPPORT IT AS WELL. I THINK IT WAS INTERPRETATION SO WE WILL WAIT TO HEAR WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY. I WILL BE INTERESTED. THERE ARE POSITIONS WE HAVE FUNDED BUT WE DID IT ONLY BECAUSE IT WAS ONLY TWO YEARS THAT WE WERE GIVEN. I THINK I DID THAT FOR A POSITION FOR THE COUNTY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE FOR A LEGAL SECRETARY POSITION. WE HAVE DONE IT, IT HAS BEEN DONE. WE KNOW THEY ARE

[00:30:05]

TEMPORARY FIXES. >> MAYBE IT WAS THE WAY IT WAS

GIVEN AS WELL. >> YOU CAN PUT IT AS A RETENTION BONUS. YOU COULD STYLE IT DIFFERENTLY. I'M TRYING NOT TO SAY TOO MUCH BECAUSE I'M GOING TO GET INTO COLLECTIVE BARGAINING BUT THERE'S DIFFERENT WAYS YOU CAN DO IT THAT'S NOT A LONG-TERM SALARY THAT MIGHT BE AN ADVANTAGE TO US IN THAT PROCESS. I WILL LEAVE IT AT

THAT. >> WE WILL LOOK INTO IT.

>> I WANT TO ADD SOMETHING. I WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE COMMISSIONERS COURT. THINK YOU JUDGE, COMMISSIONERS FOR ALLOWING GRANT WORKS TO HELP YOU GUYS AND COME ALONGSIDE AND PARTNER WITH YOU ALL. I KNOW IT'S NOT COMPLETELY DONE YET.

WE HAVE ONE MORE MEETING TO GET THROUGH BUT I FEEL THIS IS THE TIME TO SAY THIS BECAUSE WE WILL PROBABLY TRY TO MOVE THROUGH BUSINESS DURING THE NEXT MEETING BUT I WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALLOWING GRANT WORKS TO BE PART OF HOW YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO CHANGE THE COUNTY THAT I LIVE IN. THANK YOU TO THE TEAM THAT HAS REPRESENTED GRANT WORKS.

AND TO THE TEAM TERESA AND ANNA AND AND AND MICHAEL AND EVERYBODY WHO'S WORK TOGETHER. THANK YOU.

>> I WANT TO ADD THANK YOU FOR COMING TO MY MEETING LAST NIGHT. YOU'RE GETTING PAID FOR WHAT YOU DO BUT SO DID THE LAST GROUP AND WE HAVE HAD A LOT LESS PROBLEMS TO SAY THE LEAST.

WE APPRECIATE WHAT YOU ALL HAVE DONE. I HAVEN'T MADE MYSELF AS ACCESSIBLE FOR THINGS LIKE THAT BECAUSE I DON'T LIKE TO DO A LOT OF MEETINGS IF I DON'T HAVE TO BECAUSE I GET MORE DONE BUT THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I APPRECIATE YOU COMING UP. IT WAS HELPFUL . THANK YOU TO ALL OF Y'ALL.

>> I WANT TO BRING UP WE HAVE A COUPLE OF UNALLOCATED BALANCES THAT HAVE NOT BEEN COMMITTED TO A PROJECT JUST YET . I HAVE THAT RECENT ONE CURRENTLY HAS $22,423 ON ALLOCATED . PRAISING TWO HAS 65,000 400 DOLLARS AND $.52. THAT INCLUDES A $6000 OVERAGE FROM THE SEPTIC SYSTEM PROJECT. THAT PROJECT HAD 500,000 BUDGETED TO IT AND 494,000 WAS CONTRACTED TO IT SO THAT INCLUDES THAT BALANCE. THERE IS SOME ON ALLOCATED IN THE COUNTY . 95. $95,972.92. ALTOGETHER YOU GUYS HAVE AN ALLOCATED BALANCE OF 183,000 $891.44. THIS HAS NOT BEEN ASSIGNED TO A PROJECT JUST YET. AS LONG AS WE HAVE A SCOPE OF WORK THAT WE CAN ADD TO THE MOU WE CAN ASSIGN THOSE DOLLARS TO

SOMETHING. >> EVEN IF WE CHOOSE TO SPEND IT ON AN AMENDMENT ON THE THINGS. THAT'S A GOOD POINT.

>> SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT. WE WILL BE REACHING OUT BEFORE THE NEXT COURT. WE DO NEED TO BE ABLE TO PUT ALL OF THE PROJECTS ON THE MOU SO WE CAN GET THAT TO JENNY AND HER TEAM TO REVIEW AND BE READY FOR COURT ON THE 11TH. I DON'T HAVE A DEADLINE IN MIND BUT AS LONG AS WE HAVE THAT LIST OF PROJECTS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE I WILL BE REACHING OUT TO EVERYBODY.

>> WHAT IS THE FILE DEADLINE FOR COMMISSIONERS? THAT WOULD BE A DEADLINE THAT WOULD BE NECESSARY.

>> ARE FILING FOR THE NEXT COURT FOR DECEMBER 11TH FOR COMMISSIONERS BECAUSE YOURS IS LATER THAN OTHERS. THE DEADLINE

FOR ADDING TO THE MOU. >> THE AGENDA ITEM WILL BE A CATCHALL. I GUESS I'VE GOT TO GET SOME BACKUP.

>> IT CAN CHANGE. WHAT WE VOTE ON CAN CHANGE AS PER OUR DECISIONS. WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO SIGN THOSE CONTRACTS PRETTY QUICKLY. WE DON'T WANT THAT TO LAG.

>> WOULD YOU WANT THE MOU'S AS BACKUP FOR THAT AGENDA ITEM?

THEY WOULD BE READY TO GO. >> WHAT IS OUR DEADLINE?

[00:35:04]

>> THE HOLIDAY IS THE 29TH. THE SECOND IS A MONDAY TO BE THE

DEADLINE. >> THE THIRD IS A NORMAL DEADLINE THAT WOULD BE THAT TUESDAY BECAUSE WE WILL HOST ON

THE SIX. >> COMMISSIONERS HAVE UNTIL THURSDAY. THE FIFTH. DECEMBER THE FIFTH WOULD BE THE DEADLINE FOR THESE MOU BECAUSE COMMISSIONERS CAN PUT ANY ON UP UNTIL THURSDAY. DEPARTMENTS WON'T BE PUTTING THESE ON.

STEVE WOULD BE COMMISSIONERS. YES. OKAY.

>> WE CAN HAVE THEM IN OUR OFFICE BECAUSE IT IS NOT GOING TO GET COMPLETED IF WE GET THEM THAT THURSDAY . IT'S NOT GOING

TO HAPPEN. >> WHAT DO YOU NEED?

>> IF WE WORK ON REVIEWING MOU'S AND CONTRACTS AND ALL OF THAT THAT IS WHAT I'M SAYING. WE CANNOT BE GIVEN A STACK OF

THOSE THINGS. >> I WOULD ASSUME WHAT'S ON HERE CAN GO AHEAD THAT SHOULD BE GIVEN. THIS WOULD BE A COUPLE OR SOMETHING IF WE HAVE A PROJECT.

>> ARE THE TEMPLATES ALREADY? >> I BELIEVE EVERYBODY HAS AGREED THE TEMPLATE IS GOOD. IT IS NEVER PLUG-AND-PLAY EASY.

>> JUST ADDING THE PROJECTS TO EACH IF THE TEMPLATE IS GOING

TO REMAIN THE SAME. >> THAT SOUNDS REAL QUICK BUT I'M TELLING EVERY DEPARTMENT HEAD AND EVERY COMMISSIONER THAT'S NOT QUICK. DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THURSDAY OR YOUR PROJECT IS IN JEOPARDY OF HAVING MOU PREPARED.

>> WE DID SEND THOSE ON NOVEMBER 7TH TO COUNTY ATTORNEY GRANTS IN THE COUNTY. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO START THAT REVIEW

NOW WITH THE BARE-BONES >> THAT'S BEEN COMPLETE. IT'S THE FINAL THINGS I AM ALERTING EVERYONE ABOUT.

>> YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT CONTRACTS. THE WHOLE REASON IS WE WON'T HAVE CONTRACTS FOR THESE. IT'S REALLY JUST A

SCOPE OF WORK AND PROJECTS. >> WE ALWAYS HAVE CONTRACTS. WE ALWAYS HAVE THINGS WE ARE REVIEWING. IF IT IS THE MOU I

AM JUST SAYING. >> JUST BECAUSE A COMMISSIONER BRINGS ONE THURSDAY IT'S NOT GOING TO HAVE A CONTRACT

ATTACHED. OKAY. >> WAS YOUR OFFICE OKAY WITH

MOU TEMPLATE? >> WE HAVE DEALT WITH THAT. THE

TEMPLATE SAYS THEY ARE. >> OKAY. THOSE TEMPLATES ARE AVAILABLE TO BE EDITED HOW YOU WOULD LIKE IF THERE'S ANYTHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO ADD OR TAKE AWAY. AS LONG AS THEY STILL MEET THE REQUIREMENTS TREASURY HAS PUT FORTH THEN YOU ARE WELCOME TO EDIT THOSE. WHAT WE WILL DO IS ADD THE PROJECT LIST AS WE GET THEM AND MAKE SURE YOU GUYS GET THOSE.

>> I BELIEVE ANY THAT GETS ADDED TO THIS NEEDS TO GO TO

Y'ALL. >> JUST LIKE OTHER PROJECTS.

THEY CAME TO Y'ALL. YES. >> THAT WOULD BE GREAT. OKAY.

>> MICHAEL ROBINSON. >> I WASN'T PRESENT EARLIER FOR SOME DISCUSSION GOING ON ABOUT ITEMS WE ARE POTENTIALLY PUTTING ON THE MOU JUST IN CASE THE CONTRACT DOESN'T MAKE IT IN TIME. WOULD THERE BE AN OPPORTUNITY THEN IF WE ARE BRINGING THOSE ON 12/11 TO THEN STRIKE THOSE PROJECTS FROM THE

MOU LIST IF WE EXECUTE THEM? >> IF THE CONTRACT IS SIGNED.

THE MOST SIGNATURES I CONSIGN THAT DAY. IF IT DOESN'T HAVE A SIGNATURE I STRONGLY SUGGEST WE LEAVE IT ON THE MOU. YES.

>> I FULLY EXPECT TO HAVE -- I THINK WE WILL BE IN A POSITION TO STRIKE THAT. JUST WANTED TO KNOW.

>> YOU AGREE? WE ARE GOOD? >> YES. THAT WOULD BE FINE WITH

US. >> ONCE IT'S BEEN CONTRACTED IF THERE ARE AMENDMENTS TO THAT WE CAN STILL UTILIZE THE FUNDS TO GO FORWARD IF WE HAD SOME LEFT OVER. WE CAN ASSIGN TO THAT WHATEVER WE DIDN'T AWARD. OKAY. VERY GOOD. VERY GOOD.

>> ARE THERE ANY NUECES COUNTY GRANTS DEPARTMENTS PROJECTS?

[00:40:06]

>> YOURS ARE NOT ON THE LIST WITH THESE THEN. WE NEED THOSE

PROJECTS IF YOU HAVE MOU . >> YES. I PROVIDED A LIST LAST NIGHT TO TERESA. WE ARE WORKING ON IT. THERE ARE SOME WE ARE GETTING CLARIFICATION LIKE PUBLIC WORKS. I HAD SOME NUMBERS. I HAD A LEFTOVER BUT THEY PROVIDED THAT SO THEY PURCHASED ALL THE EQUIPMENT. THERE WAS NOTHING LEFT OVER ON

THAT. >> THEY PURCHASED? THEY'VE

ALREADY? >> PURCHASED, RECEIVED.

>> WE NEED THE BALANCES OF THAT AS WELL.

>> THERE IS NO MORE BALANCE. THEY USED AT ALL. THEY PURCHASED ALL THAT WAS ALLOCATED TO THEM.

>> OKAY. >> IT'S WEIRD HOW THEY DID THE

EXACT AMOUNT. >> THEY DID GO OVER. THAT'S WHAT I WAS TELLING TERESA I NEED TO FIND OUT WHAT SOURCE THEY USED. I JUST NEED TO FIND OUT.

>> THEY PURCHASED AND THEY WENT OVER THE AMOUNT AND NOW LOOKING FOR THE ADDITIONAL FUND. THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE SAYING?

>> THEY PURCHASED AND I'M PRETTY SURE THEY CHARGED IT TO THE OTHER FUNDING SOURCE. I JUST DIDN'T HAVE THAT WITH ME.

>> THAT'S PRETTY IMPORTANT. WE NEED THIS LIST FROM Y'ALL JUST AS MUCH WITH THE OPEN ALLOCATIONS OR MONEY LEFT OVER

. >> FOR JJ , 20 AND 20 WERE ALLOCATED. THEY HAVE REMAINED 6000. I'M PRETTY SURE HE CAN SPEND IT BEFORE THEN. WE CAN INCLUDE IT. THE OTHER POSITIONS ARE BASICALLY -- YES. IT IS THAT AMOUNT.

>> ARE THEY FAILED? EVERY POSITION NOW IS FILLED WITH THE

ARPA MONEY? >> ARE YOU SAYING PUT THEM IN

THE MOU ARE NOT? >> PUT THEM IN THE MOU. ALL POSITIONS. YES. DIDN'T THEY SAY THEY HAD TO BE FILLED BEFORE? THEY NEED TO BE FILLED BEFORE THE END OF DECEMBER.

YES. ALL ARPA PHYSICIANS. >> OF THE MOU PROVIDES FOR COVERAGE IN THE EVENT OF TURNOVER.

>> INTO NEXT YEAR. YES. >> MINE ARE NUMBERS I JUST NEED TO LOCATE LESS THAN $500. I DON'T THINK EVERYTHING WE HAD WAS UNDER EMPLOYEES RETENTION PAY THAT HAS BEEN OBLIGATED, BENEFICIARIES THAT HAVE BEEN CONTRACTED.

>> OKAY. PICTURE WE DON'T LEAVE SOMETHING OFF OF THE LIST IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING. WE NEED THAT REPORT. WE WILL MEET WITH HER AND GET THAT. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. APPRECIATE IT.

ANYTHING ELSE? ANYONE ELSE? YES.

>> TERESA, DID WE STATE WHAT THE FINAL ARPA FUNDING AMOUNT IS GOING ? IS THAT THE 2 MILLION ?

>> JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE. WE HAVE THAT DOCUMENT READY. WE ARE JUST WAITING. THEY WILL GIVE US A SCHEDULE. THAT'S THE
