THINGS. AND NEED TO MOVE EVERYTHING UP.

I GE, PUBLIC COMMENTS, WE HAVE TERRY SIGNED UP TO COMMENT.

YES. I'M SO SORRY, PLEASE GESTATE YOUR NAME AND YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES, WE CAN'T RESPOND, BUT

YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

>> I'M HERE TODAY TO SPEAK REGARDING THE GROUNDWATER ISSUE FOR RURAL I NAME IS TERRY MENDY OLA, WE'VE RESIDED IN BLENDS OR TEXAS, WE LIVE IN WRIGHT'S ADDITION, WE BUILT A HOME OUT THERE AND 1998, WE HAD OUR WATE WELL DUG AND WE MOVED INTO OUR NEW HOME AND 1999. HISTORICALLY, GROUNDWATER HAS BEEN GOVERNED BY THE RULE OF CAPTURE.

COMMONLY KNOWN AS THE LAW OF TH BIGGEST PUMP, WHICH ALLOWS A PERSON WHO OWNS THE GROUNDWATER TO PUMP AS MUCH GROUNDWATER THA IS AVAILABLE RDLESS OF THE EFFECTS THAT PUMPING MAY HAVE UPON NEIGHBORING WELLS. DAY FOR IT OR CONSUME EXCREMENT REGARDLESS IT, REGARDLESS OF THAT.

THERE IN LIES THE PROBLEM. FOR PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN THE RURAL AREAS OF CORPUS CHRISTI, FOR US AND OUR NEIGHBORS, WHEN THE CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI DECIDES TO COME OUT OF THE CITY LIMITS AND PURCHASE LAND AND THEN IT'S THOSE SET PROPERTIES INTO CORPUS CHRISTI AND TO PURCHASE BROADER RIGHTS FROM A LAND FOUNDATION GROUP FOR $28 MILLION AND TO TAKE THE VALUABLE GROUNDWATER AND PUMP I TO CORPUS CHRISTI, YOU SHOW ABSOLUTELY NO REGARD FOR RURAL CITIZENS.

YOU CARED NOTHING ABOUT RURAL PEOPLE.

YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT FARMS, YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT FAMILIES, YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT BUSINESSES, AN ONCE THIS THE CITY TAKES OUR SOURCE OF GROUNDWATER AWAY, WE HAVE NOTHING LEFT.

WE HAVE NO PIPELINE OF WATER FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE TO SAVE US, AND WE FEEL LIKE THE CITY WILL TAKE IT ALL.

[00:25:03]

WE BELIEVE THAT. THEY CARE NOTHING ABOUT SCRAPPING THIS PRECIOUS RESOURC AND TAKING IT AND SUPPLYING CORPUS CHRISTI MUNICIPALITY IN. RURAL RESIDENTS ARE DEEPLY DISAPPOINTED IN KNOWING THAT WE DO NOT MATTER TO YOU.

WE HAVE NEVER MATTER TO YOU, BU YOU ARE GOING TO TAKE THE WATER AND YOU'RE GOING TO LEAVE RURAL RESIDENTS WITH ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AND THAT IS JUST NOT RIGHT.

I AM FURIOUS KNOWING THAT WELL ONE DAY I'M GOING TO TURN ON MY WATER FAUCET AND THERE'S GOING TO BE NOTHING THERE AND ONCE AGAIN, I WILL BE REMINDED OF WHAT HAS BEEN DONE TO ME AND OTHER RURAL RESIDENTS COME UP M HOME COME LANDS, WE'LL BECOME MONETARILY WORTH NOTHING AFTER ALL, WHO WILL WANT TO BUY MY HOME WITH NO RUNNING WATER. SO EVERYTHING MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE WORKED OUR ENTIRE LIVES FO WILL BE WORTH NOTHING.

SO WHEN YOU WAKE UP AND THE MORNING YOU GO IN AND YOU RUSH HER FACE, HE BRUSH HER TEETH COMMUTING A SHOWER, GET YOURSEL READY FOR YOUR DAY, I HOPE YOU REMEMBER ME IN THE RURAL RESIDENTS BECAUSE WE ARE THERE AND WE WILL NEVER FORGET WHAT HAS BEEN DONE TO US. BE HEALED DESALINIZATION UNIT ALREADY, WE HAVE NEEDED ONE FOR 28 YEARS.

WE ARE AT 7 PERCENT LAKE LEVELS. THIS IS TRAGIC, IT'S JUST TRAGI GREAT I JUST WANTED TO COME HER TODAY AND SPEAK.

IF YOU THINK YOU'VE HEARD JUST POINT OF CLARIFICATION, WE AREN'T THE CITY IN WE DON'T HAV A VOTE IN THAT WE HAVE NO

AUTHORITY OVER THAT. >> THANK YOU.

>> JUDGE JOBE AND AVEDIS? >> 410 ATLANTIC STREET, THANK YOU, HONORABLE JUDGE AND THE COMMISSIONERS FOR LISTENING TO ME. WHAT I WANT TO ADDRESS AS I WAN TO THANK EVERYONE OF YOU ALL, ESPECIALLY IN REFERENCE TO THE DEBRIS STUDENTS OF THE JUSTICE COURTS AND LEAVING IT IS COMMISSIONER PUSLEY. I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR BEING INVOLVED IN THIS AND OTHER COMMISSIONERS AND THE COUNTY JUDGE. WE CONTINUE ON FORWARD I KNOW W HAVE CERTAIN ISSUES WITH THE BUDGET AND STUFF LIKE THAT, BUT I WANT TO THANK HR, THE IT, ALL THE DEPARTMENTS INVOLVED IN TRYING TO CONSOLIDATE JP 11 NJP 12.

I JUST CAME APPEAR TO SAY THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR LEADING THIS AN BEING SUPPORTIVE, AND OF THE COMMISSIONERS.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. HOPEFULLY BY THE END OF THE YEA WE WILL BE CONSOLIDATED AND WE CAN GO FORWARD.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. APPRECIATE YOU ALL.

>> THANK YOU. >> IS THEIR ANYONE ELSE HERE THAT WISHES TO SPEAK ON PUBLIC COMMENT THAT DIDN'T HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SIGN UP. TREY CRANFORD?

>> TREY CRANFORD, FOR THE RECORD .

MY LITTLE FRIEND JOHNNIE BICKHA ARE GOING TO BE RECOGNIZED AS A.

HE HAS KNOWN ME PRETTY MUCH ALL OF MY LIFE, HE HAS WORKED TIRELESSLY FOR OUR COMMUNITY OVER THE YEARS, NOT ONLY PROVIDING FOR HIS INSURANCE CUSTOMERS, BUT WITH HIS INVOLVEMENT IN OUR COMMUNITY. IS BEEN A PILLAR OF CONSISTENCY.

AS YOU PROBABLY HEARD IN HIS RECOGNITION HE WAS AROUND AND EXPLAINS THE GOOD TIMES AND HIS INVOLVEMENT WITH YOUTH SPORTS I THE 1980S. HE WAS ALSO THERE FOR NOT SO GOOD TIMES. WE WENT THROUGH SOME ROUGH DAYS WITHIN OUR OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY THAT SUPPORTS OUR COMMUNITY.

IN 1986 WE SAW A BARREL OF OIL DROP BELOW $10 A BARREL.

1986 WAS ALSO THE SAME YEAR THA CORPUS CHRISTI BECAME THE FIRST CITY IN TEXAS TO DEVELOP THE COMBINED WATER CONSERVATION AND DROUGHT CONTINGENCY PLAN FOR THIS ACTION WAS DRIVEN BY PERSISTENT WATER SHORTAGES. HERE WE ARE DECLARING AN UNPRECEDENTED EMERGENCY WATER DISASTER DECLARATION.

LET THAT SINK IN FOR A MINUTE. 40 YEARS AGO, LEADERS IN THIS COMMUNITY RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM INTERCONNECTION.

THEY DIDN'T WAIT FOR PERFECT CONDITIONS, THEY DIDN'T KICK TH CAN DOWN THE ROAD, THEY MAY HAR DECISIONS TO PROTECT THE FUTURE OF THIS REGION AND TODAY ACCORDING TO THIS DECLARATION WE'RE FACING A SERIOUS AND IMMINENT THREAT TO COUNTY RESIDENTS, OUR ECONOMY, AND OUR FUTURE WATER SECURITY.

WITH DEMAND EXCEEDING SUPPLY AN CONDITIONS EXPECTED TO WORSEN.

THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN OVERNIGHT. THIS EMERGENCY IS NOT JUST ABOU DRUGS, DROUGHT IS PART OF TEXAS AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN.

THIS IS ABOUT A FAILURE TO FOLLOW THROUGH PRAYER FOR DECADES MULTIPLE COUNCILS AND COMMUNITY LEADERS WERE JUST WORDS AS SUSTAINABLE DROUGHT PROOF WATER SUPPLY.

[00:30:01]

THEY GOT US TO THE GOLDLINE. AND THEN WE STOPPED, JUST SHORT.

WE HAVE HAD 40 YEARS TO DEVELOP A JUST ALLEN NATION PROJECT.

NOT DEPENDENT ON RIVER FLOWS AN NOT VULNERABLE TO THE SAME CYCLES WE HAVE SEEN TIME AND TIME AGAIN.

INSTEAD, WE HESITATED. WE DELAYED.

WE ALLOWED UNCERTAINTY AND INDECISION TO TAKE THE PLACE OF LEADERSHIP. NOW WE ARE HERE, DECLARING AN EMERGENCY. WE WANT TO THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP TODAY AND RECOGNIZING THIN AND ISSUE CREATED BY THE CITY AFFECTS MOR THAN JUST THE POPULATION CENTER IT REACHES FAR BEYOND CITY LIMITS AND LAND OWNERS WHO DEPEND ON GROUNDWATER FOR THEIR LIVELIHOODS AND WAY OF LIFE RAT AS SURFACE WATER SUPPLIES BECOM STRANGE, THE BURDEN SHIFTS TO OUR AQUIFERS PLACING INCREASING PRESSURE ON THE AS THEIR SOLE SOURCE OF WATER. THAT REALITY MAKES US NOT JUST SAFETY ISSUE, BUT A COUNTYWIDE RESPONSIBILITY.

IT'S NOT JUST SURFACE WATER RISK , THE PRESSURE IS NOW SHIFTING TOO OR GROUNDWATER AS DEMAND INCREASES WE CREATE A SECOND EMERGENCY ONCE THAT THREATENS LAND OWNERS, AGRICULTURAL AND THE LONG-TERM SUSTAINABILITY OF OUR AQUIFERS FREIGHT IF WE'RE NOT CAREFUL, W WILL TRADE ONE CRISIS WERE ANOTHER. WE APPRECIATE YOUR RECOGNITION OF THAT CONNECTION AND LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT AND PROJECTING GROUNDWATER RESOURCES IN THE PROPERTY RIGHTS OF THE PEOPLE H REPRESENTS.

ENSURING THAT RURAL LAND OWNERS IS CRITICAL TO THE LONG-TERM SUSTAINABILITY AND WATER POLICY IN THIS REGION.

THIS IS THE MOMENT FOR ACCOUNTABILITY, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, IT'S A MOMENT FOR ACTION.

PASSES. UP, I SEE YOU HERE, RECEIVE QUARTERLY REPORT FROM THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC HEALTH FOR

[00:45:04]

THE CITY OPERATED CORPUS CHRIST PUBLIC HEALTH DISTRICT.

THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE, I SEE YOU HAVE LOTS OF FOLKS WITH YOU.

THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING HERE AS WELL.

>> GOOD MORNING, JUDGE. THANK YOU FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY TO BE HERE ONCE AGAIN TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON WHAT WE HAVE BEEN DOING FOR THE PAST TWO QUARTERS.

I WILL BE GOING OVER SOME OF TH KEY HIGHLIGHTS ON THE PAST TWO QUARTERS AS ILLUSTRATED IN THE HIGH HANDOUT THAT WAS PASSED OU JUST BEFORE THIS MEETING. I JUST WANT TO START PRICING OVERALL HIGH LEVEL THESE PAST TWO QUARTERS HAVE BEEN VERY PRODUCTIVE FOR US. WE HAD MANY INITIATIVES THAT WE HAVE ALREADY IMPLEMENTED OR ARE PLANNING TO IMPLEMENT IN THE NEXT COMING MONTHS IN I WILL BE GOING THROUGH EACH ONE OF THEM AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. AS DISCUSSED WITH MANY OF YOU, THINK IT'S ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TRIFOLD, AS DISCUSSED WITH MANY OF YOU ALREADY, OUR FOCUS IN THE PAST TWO QUARTERS HAVE BEEN TO IMPROVE OUR STRENGTH IN OUR SERVICE DELIVERY AND RESPONSE BY IMPROVING ACCESS. SO ONE OF THE MAIN INITIATIVES THAT I AM REALLY PROUD TO REPOR ON TODAY IS THAT WE HAVE ALREAD LOOKED AT PLANS OUT AND LOOKED AT CHANGING THE HOURS OF OPERATIONS AT OUR SATELLITE CLINIC CALLED THE ROMAN.

WE TYPICALLY AT THE SATELLITE CLINIC EVERY TUESDAY AND THURSDAY EIGHT JUST MY FIVE AND WE ARE LOOKING AT SOME EVENING HOURS. THIS WAS ESPECIALLY BASED ON THEIR FEEDBACK WE'VE RECEIVED B THE CLIENTS IN THE FEEDBACK WE'VE RECEIVED FROM THE JUDGE AND SOME OF THE COMMISSIONERS HERE. WE HAVE HEARD IT, STAFF IS VERY PERCEPTIVE AND WE WILL BE CHANGING THOSE HOURS OF OPERATIONS TO INCLUDE SOME OF THE EVENING HOURS AS WELL.

WE ARE ALSO IMPROVING ACCESS OR ENHANCING ACCESS WITH OUTREACH EVENTS PER TRADITIONALLY WE HAV HAD IT MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, EIGHT JUST MY FIVE AND WE KNOW NOT ALL PRESIDENTS CAN MAKE IT TO THE EVENTS DURING THOSE HOUR OF OPERATIONS, SO WE ARE HAVING MANY OF OUR EVENTS, WE HAVE ALREADY STARTED THAT.

WE ARE HAVING MANY OUTREACH EVENTS AFTER HOURS AND ON WEEKENDS WE ARE LOOKING TO HAVE A MINIMUM OF AT LEAST TWO MOBIL OUTREACH EVENTS. WE WILL BE EXPECTING THAT ALSO INCREASING THE NUMBER AS WE CAN AND I JUST WANT TO THANK OUR PARTNERS IN THE LAST TWO QUARTERS WE HAVE HAD 14 COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS THAT WER PUT IN PLACE AND ALL OF OUR WOR IS NOT IN SILENCE. THERE IS AN ARMY BEHIND US.

IT IS THANKS TO THESE PARTNERSHIPS THAT WE HAVE PUT I PLACE THAT IS ENABLING US TO MAKE SOME OF THESE CHANGES AND AS I SAY, GO THROUGH THE INITIATIVES FREIGHT AND A BIT I WILL SEE INITIATIVES ARE NOT IT IS ALSO CLOSELY WORKING WITH PARTNERS THAT HAVE MADE IT POSSIBLE.

MOVING ON TO SOME OF THE INITIATIVES THAT ARE OUT THERE.

LET'S START WITH THE VENDING MACHINE I'VE DISCUSSED THIS WIT MANY OF YOU ALREADY. WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO INSTALLING AN RPM VENDING MACHINE IF THE STARS ALIGN, WE HAVE A FEW MORE LAST-MINUTE ITEMS TO CHECK OFF OUR LIST, BU WE ARE POISED TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS INSTALLATION OF THE VENDING MACHINE AT THE LIBRARY. THANK YOU, JUDGE FOR CAROL, IF YOU ARE LISTENING, SHE HAS BEEN A GREAT PARTNER NOT JUST FOR THIS, BUT MANY OTHER INITIATIVE THAT YOU WILL SEE ME TALK ABOUT IN A BIT THE NEXT ONE IS A COMMUNITY BLOOD PRESSURE ACCESS POINTS. THIS AGAIN WILL BE INSTALLED AT THE CAULDRON SITES, THIS INCORPORATES ADVANCED TECHNOLOG THAT NOT ONLY ENABLES US TO DO SELF MONITORING OF THE BLOOD PRESSURE BUT CONNECTS THESE RESIDENTS ARE THE CLIENTS WHO ARE USING THESE MACHINES TO EDUCATION AS WELL AS RESOURCES.

WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT. AGAIN, THE GO LIVE DATE IS TENTATIVELY MADE. THE OTHER INITIATIVE I WANTED T TALK ABOUT WHICH I'M VERY EXCITED ABOUT IS THE INCLUSIVE COMMUNITY PLAN WELLNESS SPACE INITIATIVE.

WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO AT PLAYGROUNDS, THANK YOU, CRYSTAL FOR MAKING THIS HAPPEN AS WELL FOR US.

THIS I HAVE ALREADY SPOKE TO YO ABOUT THIS INITIATIVE.

WE ARE EXCITED THIS WOULD CREAT A WELCOMING ACCESSIBLE SPACE THAT FOSTERS HEALTH, LEARNING, COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES OF ALL ABILITIES.

[00:50:05]

THIS HAS ALREADY STARTED, THIS WAS IMPLEMENTED IN MARCH OF THI YEAR, THIS IS ROLLED OUT ACROSS FIVE SENIOR CENTERS, AND THIS I PRIMARILY GEARED TOWARDS THE SACRAMENT OF THE POPULATION WHICH IS OUR SENIORS, THIS IS INCORPORATING AS THE NAME IS SELF EVIDENCE, IT IS INCORPORATING FUN WITH LEARNING IN HEALTH AND EDUCATION WELLNES LEARNING AND RESOURCES.

THE LAST ONE IS CHILDHOOD OBESITY PROGRAM.

THIS WOULD BE A PILOT PROGRAM WHERE WE ARE LOOKING TO IMPLEMENT THIS PILOT PROGRAM IN THE SUMMER.

ONCE AGAIN, NO SURPRISE AT THE LIBRARY WE WILL STARTED AND WE WILL ROLL IT ACROSS PARTS OF NUECES COUNTY AND KEEPING IN MIND THE HEALTH AND WELLNESS OUTCOMES FOR THE OTHER SEGMENTS OF OUR COMMUNITY WHICH IS OUR CHILDREN.

AND ON THE LAST PAGE, I JUST WANT TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO A VERY SUCCESSFUL EVENT WE HAD WHICH WAS THE TAKEBACK THAT HAPPENED LAST SATURDAY PARADE W HELD TWO EVENTS CONCURRENTLY ON AT 170 TO HALL ROAD LOCATION AN THE OTHER ONE WAS AND DROPS DOWN . IT WAS WELL ATTENDED.

I DON'T HAVE THE FINAL TALLY OF THE DRUGS THAT WERE COLLECTED B THE DA, BUT ROUGHLY IT WAS JUST OVER 35 LARGE BOXES OF DRUGS THAT WERE DROPPED OFF. HERE I WANT TO GIVE THAT EVENT WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED WITHOUT THE ASSISTANCE FROM ROB STONE PD , ESPECIAL SHUT OUT TO THE CHIEF END SERGEANTS GONZALEZ.

THEY WERE INSTRUMENTAL IN MAKIN THIS A SUCCESSFUL EVENT AT THE ROB STONE LOCATION. I WILL STOP HERE, BUT BEFORE I STOP THERE I WANT TO ALSO ACKNOWLEDGE AND I KNOW I COULD SEDUCE MORE OFTEN I HAVE MY TEA HERE, PLEASE STAND UP AND BE RECOGNIZED. WE DON'T GET TO DO THIS OFTEN.

THIS IS MAKING ME EMOTIONAL NOW. THESE ARE THE HEROES BEHIND THE SCENES NOT OFFENSES LATE TO GET SHINED ON THEM AND I WANT TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU GUYS DO. THE ADMINISTRATOR OF THE END TH

PROGRAM MANAGER OUT OF OUTREACH. >> WAVE WHEN SHE MENTIONED YOUR

NAME. >> THANK YOU.

MARINA IS OUR HEALTH EDUCATOR, ROSIE SUPPORTS THE CALDERON CLINIC GREAT SHE IS THEIR EVERY TUESDAY AND THURSDAY.

JESSICA IS ONE OF OUR CLINICIAN FROM SDI, AND SHE DOES DOUBLE DUTY, SHE ALSO TAKES CARE OF TESTING AND PROVIDES IMMUNIZATIONS WHEN CHICKENS SO IT'S DOUBLE DUTY.

ENDS, HE IS OUR NEWEST SDI PROGRAM MANAGER.

LAST BUT NOT THAT THESE, I DON' KNOW HOW SHE SLEEPS HER WHEN SH SLEEPS, BUT SHE IS BUSY RUNNING AROUND.

SHE IS INSTRUMENTAL IN EXECUTIN THE INITIATIVES THAT I TALKED ABOUT FOR THE STATES. SHE IS ALWAYS LOOKING FOR NEW INITIATIVES TO ROLLOUT AND HOW TO BETTER SERVE OUR COMMUNITY.

ALL THE WORK WE DO TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR SERVICES ARE EFFECTIVE AND RELIABLE TO ALL OF OUR RESIDENTS ACROSS THE COUNTY IS THANKS TO OUR TEAM. THIS IS PART OF OUR TEAM.

ANOTHER TEAM IS WATCHING VIRTUALLY.

SOMEBODY HAD TO HOLD THE FORT DOWN IN OUR CLINIC SO THANK YOU TO EACH ONE OF THEM AND THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU AS WELL.

[APPLAUSE] >> THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU.

DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? >> THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK.

I AM SO IMPRESSED. I KNOW IT HAS TAKEN LITERALLY YEARS FOR US TO GET TO THIS POINT AS FAR AS ORGANIZATION, COMMITMENT. WE KNOW THE STAFF IS ALWAYS BEE THERE TO SUPPORT THE PROGRAMMIN YOU HAVE, BUT THIS IS SUCH A TRANSFORMATION TO ME OF WHERE W ARE AT NOW AS FAR AS THE AMOUNT OF PROGRAMS THAT WE HAVE THAT W HAVE INITIATED.

THIS PARTNERSHIP WAS NOT ALWAYS PERFECT.

I THINK WE SHOULD BE UPFRONT ABOUT THAT SPIRIT IT HAS TAKEN US SOME TIME TO GET TO THIS POINT, BUT I THINK WE ARE FINALLY THERE, THAT WE ARE ABLE TO WORK THROUGH HOW WE DIVIDE U THE WORK COLLECTIVELY BETWEEN THESE TWO PARTNERSHIPS AND THEN EVEN ENCOURAGED TO SEE ROB STON PD INCLUDED IN THE MIX.

IT'S NOT JUST NUECES, IT'S NOT JUST THE CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI BUT EACH OF THE PROGRAMS THAT YOU MENTIONED THAT IDENTIFIED

[00:55:02]

INDIVIDUALLY ARE EXCITING TO ME NOT BECAUSE MOST OF THEM ARE HAPPENING IN PRECINCT THREE, BU BECAUSE OF THE VALUE THEY BRING TO OUR COMMUNITY. THE NARCAN VENDING MACHINE.

YOU AND I TALKED ABOUT THAT FOR A WHILE AND IT'S NOT JUST A STEREOTYPE, IT'S ALSO AN ACCIDENTAL OVERDOSE THAT COULD HAPPEN TO PEOPLE, THE BLOOD PRESSURE ACCESS POINTS PATHWAYS THAT YOU'VE CREATED, THE B GO AND BE WELCOME I LOVE THAT INITIATIVE IN ALL THE DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES YOU HAVE BEEN INVOLVED WITH THAT AND THE CHILDHOOD OBESITY PROGRAM.

FOR ME, THIS IS JUST EXPANDING ON THE DIFFERENT PROGRAMS YOU HAVE. I'M EXCITED TO HEAR ABOUT TRYIN TO FIND ALTERNATE TIMES TO MAKE IT EASIER AND MORE ACCESSIBLE FOR PEOPLE WHO WORK A TYPICAL 8- 5 JOB SO THEY CAN STILL TRY TO GO AND GET SOME HEALTHCARE, GET SOME ACCESS TO AT LEAST CHECK WHERE THEY ARE AT AND MONITOR THOSE LEVELS OF BLOOD PRESSURE AND ANYTHING ELSE. THIS IS REALLY ENCOURAGING.

I KNOW YOU HAVE MORE PLANNED, I KNOW THERE WILL JUST REWARD SUCCESS, BUT I WANT TO THANK YO BECAUSE LIKE I SAID, THIS WAS NOT AN EASY ROAD TO GET HERE, BUT I FEEL VERY COMFORTABLE WIT WHERE WE ARE AT NOW AND THAT WE HAVE MADE A CONNECTION AS A COMMUNITY, NO MORE BACK-AND-FORTH.

I THINK IT ONE POINT THIS QUARTER PRIOR COURTS HAD SAID WE'RE DONE, LET'S JUST END IT LEADS TO OUR OWN KIND OF UNIT O WHATEVER IT WAS CONSIDERED HEALTHCARE UNITS AND BE DONE WITH IT IN SEPARATE. WE CAME BACK TOGETHER AS A TEAM AS WE SHOULD COME AND I THINK FOR ME IT'S ALWAYS ABOUT COLLABORATION IN YOU HAVE SHOWE THAT, YOU INJURED TEAM HAVE SHOWED THAT COLLABORATION OF WORKING TOGETHER THE VALUE THAT MEANS AND HOW FAR YOU COULD STRETCH OUT THOSE RESOURCES.

I CAN'T GO ON ENOUGH ABOUT THE WORK YOU ALL HAVE DONE AND AS YOU'VE SAID, THERE ARE OTHERS BEHIND THE SCENES THAT ARE ABLE TO BE RECOGNIZED TODAY. YOU HAVE DONE SOME GREAT WORK S LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT ROUND OF PROGRAMMING YOU WILL CREATE. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR WORK.

>> THANK YOU. >> I JUST HAVE A QUICK QUESTION.

CAN YOU TELL ME A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THIS NARCAN VENDING MACHINE AND HOW IT WORKS AND WHERE IT'S LOCATED?

>> WE GOT THE TICKET WE GOT THE VENDING MACHINE FROM FLEX IN TEXAS, THERE IS A STATEWIDE INITIATIVE THAT IS OUT THERE TO MAKE SURE THAT THESE LIFE-SAVIN DRUGS ARE ACCESSIBLE ACROSS TEXAS, SO THOSE VENDING MACHINES , THAT PARTICULAR VENDING MACHINE WILL BE PLACED AT THE CASE LIBRARY.

AND I THINK THE COMMISSIONER POINTED OUT ALREADY IT WILL FOR OVERDOSE IN AN ADDITION TO [INDISCERNIBLE] WE WILL ALSO HAVE UNBLINKING OUT ON THE MEANS .

THE HAND HYGIENE KITS AND THE. >> SO HOW DOES IT DISPENSE, YOU

GO PUT 50 CENTS AND THE MACHINE? >> IT IS FREE OF CHARGE AND

FOLKS CAN. >> AND I'M NOT BEING FACETIOUS DON'T KNOW HOW IT WORKS PRETTY GOOD IT'S LIKE ANY OTHER VENDIN MACHINE THERE IS NO LIMIT TO HO MANY YOU CAN JUST BENZ, BUT ANECDOTALLY, BASED ON THE DATA THAT WE HAVE FROM OTHER VENDING MACHINE INSTALLATIONS, THERE'S ALREADY ONE IN CORPUS CHRISTI, THIS WILL BE THE SECOND ONE IN THE COUNTY.

THE FIRST ONE WAS PLACED ON LEOPARD STREET, IT FUNCTIONS JUST LIKE A REGULAR VENDING MACHINE, YOU CAN GO AND DISPENSE , YOU PRESS A BUTTON, AND, IT IS DISPENSED.

IT'S A NASAL SPRAY THAT YOU CAN USE.

>> SO IS SOMEBODY MONITORING THIS BECAUSE WE HAVE KIDS THEY

GO IN THE LIBRARY. >> THAT IS A FAIR CONCERN AND THIS IS WHY I SAID ANECDOTALLY, WE HAVE NOT HEARD OF ANY BAD OUTCOMES OR REVIEWS BASED ON TH PLACEMENT OF THE VENDING MACHINE . BECAUSE OF THAT CONCERN, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE HAVE THESE VENDING MACHINES PLACED A STRATEGIC LOCATIONS WHICH IS WH WE PICKED THE LIBRARY IT WILL B PLACED IN SITES OF EITHER SOME OF THE STUFF THAT'S ALREADY WORKING THERE WERE SOME OF THE SECRETARY FOLKS TO DETER SOME O THIS MISUSE OR ABUSE. SO THERE IS NOTE ONE FULL PROOF

[01:00:04]

WE CANNOT LIMIT WHO ACCESSES IT BECAUSE LIKE I SAID, THESE ARE LIFE-SAVING DRUGS, THIS CAN SAV LIVES WITHIN MINUTES, SO WE DON'T WANT TO HELP LOCKDOWN ON THE ACCESSIBILITY PART OF THIS.

>> I APPRECIATE THAT, I JUST HAVE A LITTLE CONCERNED CONCERN ABOUT THE LIABILITY OF THAT IN BUILDING THAT IF YOU WERE TO TH BUILDING WHERE WE HAVE MEDICAL PEOPLE THERE ON A DAILY BASIS, THAT WOULD BE ONE THING, BUT HAVING IT IN A LIBRARY WHERE IT'S ACCESSIBLE TO WHOEVER WALK UP THERE YOUR HONOR, I HAVE SOM CONCERNS ABOUT THE EXPOSURE TO THAT FOR THE CURRENCY IN I THIN IT'S SOMETHING WE NEED TO TAKE LOOK AT.

I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA IN I UNDERSTAND WHAT THE PRODUCT DOES , I'M JUST A LITTLE CONCERNED ABOUT THE LOCATION.

>> IT IS A FAIR CONCERN AND WE CAN REVISIT THAT.

I WILL BE HAPPY TO SIT DOWN AGAIN AND REVISIT THE LOCATION, BUT WE DID RUN THIS BY THE LEGALS ON BOTH SIDES I BELIEVE, CERTAINLY BY THE CITY SIDE AND THE LIBRARY WAS CHOSEN BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO FIND A PLACE WHERE FOLKS ARE NOT AFRAID TO APPROAC AND FOLKS ARE NOT AFRAID TO ACCESS ITS.

ONE OF THE CRITERIA WE USED IS WHAT'S HOT SPOTS, WHERE WE CAN PLACE THIS. WHERE IT CAN REALLY BE ACCESSIBLE WITHIN MINUTES TO SAVE LIVES AND THAT LIBRARY WAS

ONE OF THE LOCATIONS FOR IT. >> CALLED RON BUILDING IS ALMOS ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE LIBRARY IN I JUST THINK THAT'S

MORE APPROPRIATE PLACE. >> DO WE KNOW WHAT THE EFFECTS OF THAT DRUG IS ON KID THAT PLAYS WITH IT OR ANYTHING?

>> THE WAY IT WORKS IS IT IS COUNTERACTING AND OPIOID EFFECTS , SO WHAT IT DOES IS IT BINDS WITH THE PAINT BRAIN RECEPTORS THAT ALREADY NOW I'M GETTING INTO THE WEEDS, BUT OPIOID MOLECULES ATTACHED TO TH RANGE OF SCEPTERS, YOU'RE JUST PLACING THOSE BRAIN RECEPTORS AND REVERSING THE EFFECTS, SO EVEN IF IT IS USED WHEN NOT INDICATED, THERE ARE NO SIGNIFICANT PHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECTS.

>> SOMETIMES EVEN WHEN PEOPLE USE THOSE ON PEOPLE THEY THINK ARE HAVING AN EPISODE, IT COULD BE SOMETHING ELSE INSTEAD OF

THAT. >> AND THAT HAS HAPPENED AT OUR OTHER LOCATIONS WHERE WE HEARD THEY ADMINISTERED IT AND IT TURNED OUT THE PERSON WAS JUST HAVING SEIZURES.

BUT LIKE I SAID, THIS IS LIFE-SAVING MEASURES, IF YOU CA SAVE LIVES IN MINUTES, WE DO IT ESPECIALLY.

>> IS SAID THIS IS THE SECOND ONE IN THE COUNTY.

WHERE IS THE FIRST ONE? ANTILOCK STREET.

>> IS IT IN THE BUILDING? >> STARS HAS PUT ITS.

IT'S STREET-LEVEL, I DON'T THIN THERE IS ANY BUILDINGS THERE.

>> OKAY, I JUST HAD A CONCERN ABOUT IT BEING IN THE LIBRARY AND NOT BEING SOMETHING THAT IS MONITORED AND THE COUNTY HAVING RESPONSIBILITY. AND I'M NOT A DOCTOR, SO I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE OUT THAT DRUG INTERACTS WITH A KID WHO IS MAY BE TAKING OTHER MEDICATIONS OR WHO IS A DIABETIC OR WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE, YOU KNOW HOW KIDS ARE, IF THERE IS A WAY TO

DO IT, THEY WILL FIGURE IT OUT. >> ALSO, AND THE FUTURE IF IT GOES THROUGH THE CITY'S LEGAL TEAM, IT NEEDS TO GO THROUGH TH

COUNTY'S LEGAL TEAM AS WELL. >> WE CAN CERTAINLY TABLE THIS BREAK LIKE I SAID, THIS IS IN THE PLANNING PHASES, WE CAN TABLE IT'S, WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT ALL THE EYES ARE ADOPTED AND THE T'S ARE CROSSED BEFORE THE GO LIVE DATE.

>> IT'S NOT THERE YET. >> I JUST WANT TO SAY TWO THINGS , ONE, THANK YOU FOR SPENDING THE HOURS WE APPRECIAT YOU FOR DOING THAT AND THERE AR PROBABLY MORE PEOPLE THAT DON'T HAVE TIME TO GO TO THE CLINIC, SO I THINK THAT IS REAL GOOD MOVE, I APPRECIATE YOU COMING U WITH IT.

CHANGING THE HOURS AND ALSO, THAT MEDICAL CLINIC, I KNOW YOU'RE TRYING TO REACH OUT MORE WHICH I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT WITH DIFFERENT LOCATIONS. I WAS AT THE VERY FIRST BINGO

[01:05:05]

THEY HAD IN BISHOP AND THEY DID HAVE OVERLY GOOD TIME.

THEY REALLY ENJOYED IT. SO SO THANK YOU FOR THOSE ON TH OTHER SIDE, I UNDERSTAND WHERE THE COMMISSIONER IS COMING FROM I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS GOING TO B AT THE LIBRARY.

I THINK THAT MACHINE IS BEING MONITORED BY THEIR IS AN AGENCY IN THE VALLEY THAT BROUGHT THE MACHINE AND I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY ARE MONITORING IT, BUT HOW TO RUN WOULD PROBABLY BE BETTER TO BE ABLE TO MONITOR IT OR EVE HAVE A SCREEN THERE IN THE CLINIC WHERE YOU COULD ACTUALLY MONITOR THE SCREEN OR SOMETHING SO YOU KNOW WHO GOES THERE, RIGHT? AND THE CAMERA SO YOU KNOW THE PEOPLE THAT USE IT TO USE IT.

MY CONCERN ALSO WOULD BE THE USE , THE YOUNG ADULTS AND THAT YOUTH. IT COULD HAVE A VERY NEGATIVE EFFECT ON THE YOUTH IT MIGHT NO BE AN OVERDOSE, BUT IT MIGHT BE IN EFFECT FREIGHT IT DEPENDS ON WHAT THEY HAVE.

THAT WAS A GOOD POINT THE COMMISSIONER BROUGHT UP.

THAT'S THE ONLY THING I KNOW THAT WE NEED TO LOOK INTO AND AGAIN, GO THROUGH OUR LEGAL DEPARTMENT MAKE SURE THE TEAS ARE CROSSED IN THE EYES ARE DOTTED AND EVERYTHING ELSE BECAUSE IT'S ALL GOING TO COME BACK TO US FREIGHT, BUT REALLY APPRECIATE MOVING FORWARD AND DOING A LOT OF THINGS.

>> THANK YOU. >> I APPRECIATE YOURSELF, THEY

DO A LOT OF GOOD WORK. >> THANK YOU.

I HAVE HEARD THE CONCERN ABOUT THE VENDING MACHINE IS FAIR, I HEARD IT LOUD AND CLEAR AND WE WILL MAKE SURE WE HAVE OUR DUCK

IN A ROW BEFORE WE GO LIVE. >> A NO AUTHORITY SPOKE, BUT TH BENEFITS ARE SO VALUABLE, MY DAUGHTER SAW SOMEONE NEEDING TO BE RESUSCITATED, SHE LIVES IN AUSTIN WHERE SHE'S GOING TO SCHOOL, AND SOMEONE SHE DIDN'T KNOW, BUT ON THE STREETS, AND THERE WAS ONE OF THESE VENDING MACHINES NEARBY AND SOMEBODY WA ABLE TO GO HELP. SOMEBODY SHE SAW PASSING ALONG, ANOTHER STUDENT THERE AT THE UNIVERSITY.

IT HELP SAVE LIVES. ROB STONE, UNFORTUNATELY NOT TH ENTIRE COMMUNITY, BUT THERE IS SEGMENTS, A SMALL POOL OF FUN HOUSED PEOPLE WHO ARE USING OPIOIDS, VARIOUS LEVELS OF IT, SO I THINK WE ALL AGREE THAT TH BENEFITS OF ITS, CALDERON, I WOULD SAY I LOVE THE IDEA, I THINK EITHER ONE IS GREAT SPIRI ONE MAY BE BRINGS DOWN THE SENSITIVITY BECAUSE SOMEONE MAY KNOW THEY MAY NEED IT, AND MAY BE DETERRED FROM GOING TO MORE OF AN OFFICIAL KIND OF LOCATION LIKE CALDERON, BUT MY CONCERN WOULD BE THE HOURS. THINK THE LIBRARY HAS MORE FLEXIBILITY WITH OURS THEY WOUL BE OPEN, SO I WOULD WANT TO CAPTURE PEOPLE WHO MAY NEED IT BECAUSE I THINK WE ARE STILL CLOSED ON SUNDAYS ON THE LIBRARY , ARE WE NOT? RIGHT? SO SOME DAYS ARE CLOSE, BUT AT LEAST THERE WOULD BE AVAILABILITY AND AFTER HOURS WERE ON SATURDAY AS WELL WE'RE PEOPLE HAVE THAT.

WE WILL WORK IT OUT, PLEASE GO TO LEGAL TO WORK THROUGH THAT BECAUSE WE NEED THAT TWO-PART SYSTEM, BUT I JUST WANTED TO SHARE THAT STORY BECAUSE MY DAUGHTER OBSERVE SOMEONE HAVING TO BE RESUSCITATED ENDED SAVE THEIR LIFE COME, LITERALLY.

I THINK WE ALL AGREE IT'S IMPORTANT IT'S JUST HOW YOU CONTROL AND MONITOR IT, THANK YOU.

>> ARE YOU BUYING THAT ARGUMENT? >> S.

>> THERE IS AN AGENCY IN THE VALLEY THAT WILL GIVE IT TO YOU.

BOXES AND BOXES. >> WE WORK CLOSELY WITH THEM AS WELL. THEY CAME DOWN AND GAVE A PRESENTATION I THINK YOU WERE A THE PRESENTATION.

THEY WILL GIVE IT TO YOU FOR FREE.

THE OTHER THING, I'VE GOT ONE MORE THING I FORGOT THAT I'M REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT AND I APPRECIATE YOU GIVING ME THE STATS, AND ASKED FOR SOME STATS LAST TIME AND TO ME, JUST THE FACT THAT THE SERVICES THAT HAV BEEN PROVIDED, 74 PERCENT THEN YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE TO HUNDRED 6 AND IN INGLESIDE AND THEN 56 IN CLEBURNE, 5646 JIM WELLS, SO I GUESS MAYBE ONLY 30 PERCENT IS

[01:10:05]

NUECES COUNTY? >> THAT IS CORRECT.

TO ME, THE NUMBERS WORK IN THE LEGO MAY BE WE NEED TO GET SOMEBODY TO PUT THE NUMBERS ON THE TABLE BECAUSE WE ARE PAYING A LOT OF MONEY, BUT IT DOESN'T SAY WHAT PERCENT, THEY DIDN'T BREAK IT DOWN TO WHAT KIND OF SERVICES.

THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING TO LOOK AT AND I WOULD BE INTERESTED.

CAN YOU GIVE US A REPORT NEXT TIME AND SEE WHAT THE STATUS ARE ? BECAUSE IF IT IS THE SAME EVERY TIME, THEN WE NEED TO LOOK AT WHERE WE ARE SERVICES TO IN.

>> A REPORT BLAKE WISDOM THE FIRST TIME AROUND WAS HOW MANY PEOPLE CAME IN, JUST THAT, BUT WE ALWAYS KNOW WE'RE GOING TO B A QUARTER BEHIND OF THE STATS THAT HAVE TO COME IN.

>> SO THAT THE LET THE COMMISSIONER IS REFERRING TO IS THE END OF THE REPORT THAT WE HAD 685 RESIDENTS FROM OUTSIDE AND THE REQUEST WAS CAN YOU LOO IN THIS AND SEE WHO THE 685 OUR AND WE DID AND WHEN WE LOOKED A IT, 74 PERCENT COME FROM [INDISCERNIBLE] COUNTY. LIKE A MENTION TO THE COMMISSIONER IN MY NEEDING EARLIER WAS THAT AS THIS HEALTH DEPARTMENTS, AS THE NUECES COUNTY HEALTH DISTRICT, WE GET MONEY FROM THE STATE AND SOME O THE FINAL PASS THROUGH, JUST 5- NEIGHBORING COUNTIES, ESPECIALL FOR OUR STI SERVICES SO THIS COULD VERY WELL BE THOSE FOLKS WHO ARE WE ARE GIVING THE STATE FUNDS TO DO NOT HAVE THE PUBLIC-HEALTH CAPACITY TO ADDRESS THE TESTING AND SOME OF THE OTHER REPORTABLE CONDITION SO I DID HEAR THIS REQUEST AGAIN .

I WILL GO BACK AND I CAN PROVID YOU THOSE NUMBERS BY SERVICES AND I THINK IT WILL BE PRETTY APPARENT THAT THOSE SERVICES AGAIN PROBABLY THE CONDITIONS THAT WE GET FUNDING FROM THE STATE TO SUPPORT THE SMALLER JURISDICTIONS.

>> COMMISSIONER PUSLEY YOU WANTED TO SAY.

>> I WANTED TO ECHO SOME OF THE ORIGINAL REMARKS, I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU TAKING THE TIME TO PUT THIS TOGETHER AND OTHER GREAT THINGS THINGS THAT ARE TAKING PLACE.

I HAVE BEEN AROUND LONG ENOUGH TO UNDERSTAND THE CHALLENGES THAT THE COMMISSIONER SPOKE ABOUT AND WE HAVE OBVIOUSLY COM ALONG WAY IN WE APPRECIATE THE DEDICATION OF YOU AND YOUR STAF IN BRINGING BETTER HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO OUR COMMUNITY OVERALL. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALL YOU

ARE DOING. >> THANK YOU, SIR.

>> THANK YOU. I THINK THAT IS IT FOR US.

THE FACILITIES ROUGHLY 30 YEARS OLD, IT IS NOT BEING UTILIZED OTHER THAN WE HAVE A GENTLEMAN WHO IS RENTING SPACE AT THE HANGAR PART TO STORE AN AIRPLAN IN WE WOULD LIKE TO BASICALLY G OUT FOR A BID TO HAVE SOMEONE COME IN AND TAKE OVER THAT FACILITY IN TO MAKE SOME IMPROVEMENTS IN THAT FACILITY I WE WOULD LIKE TO DESIGN SOME MILESTONES IN WHATEVER CONTRACT WE COME UP WITH FOR MAKING THOS IMPROVEMENTS SO THAT WHOEVER TAKES OVER THE FACILITY WILL BE ASKED TO MAKE IMPROVEMENTS WITHIN OUR RESPECTIVE GIVEN TIME .

[01:15:02]

>> SO THIS ISN'T A COUNTY PAID FOR, THIS WILL BE PART OF THE BUILDING THAT THEY WILL HAVE COME OF THE BUILDING FOR A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME WITH MILESTONES THAT THEY HAVE TO DO

THE IMPROVEMENTS? >> WE BASICALLY HAVE TWO OPTION ON THIS FACILITY, ACTUALLY THREE .

THE NUMBER ONE OPTION WOULD BE TO TAKE A BULLDOZER AND PUSH IT DOWN AND I DON'T THINK WE WANT TO DO THAT.

OPTION TO WOULD BE FOR THE COUNTY TO COME IN AND SPEND THE MONEY TO REHAB THE FACILITY. IT IS A VERY NICE IT HAS A LOT OF POTENTIAL FOR YEARS IT OPERATED AS A CROP DUSTING

BUSINESS. >> THAT'S NOT THE ASKED TODAY.

THE ASK IS TO GO OUT FOR BIDS AND THE INDIVIDUALS THAT WOULD LEASE IT WOULD HAVE THAT OBLIGATION, THAT'S NOT WHAT

WE'RE VOTING ON. >> IF I COULD BE ALLOWED TO FINISH MY JUST DESCRIPTION MAY BE THAT COULD TAKE CARE OF IT RIGHT WHAT I'M ASKING THE COURT TO DO TODAY IS TO GIVE US THE OPPORTUNITY TO MOVE THIS PROCES FORWARD THE PURCHASING DEPARTMENT WILL DESIGN ALONG WITH THE HELP OF LEGAL, WITH TH CONTRACT WOULD LOOK LIKE, WHOEVER IS GOING TO BID ON IT AND THEN WE WOULD BRING THAT BACK TO THE COURT FOR APPROVAL.

CLARIFY. >> I SAID WE BASICALLY HAVE

THREE OPTIONS ON THE FACILITY. >> BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT TODAY'S

OPTION IS. >> I WILL TABLE THIS OR BRING I BACK OR MAYBE I CAN EXPLAIN IT DIFFERENTLY.

>> WE JUST DON'T VOTE TO APPROV THINGS THAT WE'RE GOING TO BUIL

TO GO OUT FOR BIDS. >> WE'RE NOT ASKING THE COURT T

DO THAT. >> THAT'S WHAT I WAS ASKING FOR CLARIFICATION OF. IF YOU WANT TO GO AHEAD REFINE GOING AHEAD I WAS JUST TRYING T CLARIFY THE ACTION TODAY WOULD BE ON THE PERSON WHO RECEIVE TH BID TO DUPE MILESTONES TO DO TH IMPROVEMENTS TO THE BUILDING, I WOULD NOT BE THE COUNTY FUNDING

THE IMPROVEMENTS. >> WE ARE NOT ASKING THE COUNTY

FOR A FUNDING. >> THAT'S WHY I WANTED TO MAKE THE MOTION TO APPROVE I JUST WANTED TO BECAUSE YOUR OPTION

STATED OTHERWISE. >> THIS IS AN RFP, WE HAVE THE ORDER? THE ORDER IS NOT ATTACHED.

>> IS PURCHASING BACK THERE, DO YOU WANT TO ADDRESS THIS?

>> I DON'T KNOW IF THE ORDER MADE IT INTO THE ATTACHED BRACKET PACKET THAT I BELIEVE W SENT IT UP TO THE JUDGES JUDGE' OFFICE TO HAVE IT HANDED OUT TO EVERYONE.

>> B WE DID HAVE AN ORDER. >> I DON'T HAVE THE ORDER EITHER . MAYBE IT WAS LOST SOMEWHERE IN TRANSITION. AT THE END OF THE DATE WITH THE COMMISSIONER IS DESCRIBING THIS THIS IS JUST GOING OUT.

>> IT'S GOING OUT FOR AN RFP FO THE AIRPORT LEASING.

>> AND MINA HAS NO FUNDING REQUESTED.

>> CORRECTS. SOMEBODY IS GOING TO PAY US TO

LEASE THE SPACE. >> SO THE RFP WOULD BE SENT OUT THAT SAYS HEY, GIVE FISHER BEST PROPOSAL ON HOW YOU WOULD DO

THIS, ONE OF THOSE? >> I WAS GOING TO EXPLAIN ALL O APPETITIVE AND GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO.

I DON'T KNOW WHY THE ORDER IS NOT HERE, I SAW IT, LEGAL LOOKE AT IT. I HAD EVERYTHING, I SUBMITTED IT . OBVIOUSLY THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN.

>> I WAS JUST ASKING SOME CLARIFICATION QUESTIONS TO SEE IF WE COULD FIGURE THAT OUT. AND THEN JUST TO SAY BASICALLY GIVE FISHER PROPOSAL ON HOW YOU CAN DO THIS.

THE ORDER HERE IS OUR VANILLA ONE THAT WE DO FOR ANY RFP.

THERE'S NOTHING SPECIAL ON IT. >> JUST GIVE US THE ORDER, I'M FINE WITH NOW THAT I UNDERSTAND IT, I JUST SEE THE ORATOR.

>> WE WILL GET THAT CIRCULATED FOR YOU.

>> IS JUST GOT LOST SOMEWHERE I TRANSITION.

>> I'M GOOD WITH THIS ALSO I WANTED TO CLARIFY THE AIRPORT MANAGER IS GOING TO BE ON THERE RIGHT? AND THEN THE COUNTY ENGINEER. AND THEN YOU SAID EIGHT MEMBER OF THE AIRPORT ADVISORY COMMITTEE, IS THAT CORRECT?

SO THAT IS THREE. >> THAT'S IT.

>> DO YOU STILL WANT TO TABLE THIS OR WE ARE OKAY TO MOVE

FORWARD, COMMISSIONER? >> WHATEVER THE COURT WOULD LIK

[01:20:03]

TO DO. >> IT SURE ITEM, MAKE A MOTION.

>> I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION. >> SECOND.

THE COUNTY JUDGE GOT US THE PROPER INFORMATION FOR WHATEVER REASON MY COMPUTER IS NOT COOPERATING.

>> YOU TOOK SEVERAL PROGRAM ESTABLISH A ROAD CONNECTING THE

COUNTY AIRPORT TO A I 69. >> I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTIO

TO MOVE THAT FORWARD. >> WITH THAT BE PUBLIC WORKS SCHEDULING WITH THEM WITH I KNO WHEN MY FIRST CONVERSATION WITH THEM THEY SAID SOMETHING ABOUT MAY BE OUR ROADS WEREN'T TOOTH THE STANDARD BEFORE THEY WOULD ACCEPT IT.

DO WE WANT MOM TO CHECK INTO THAT OR IS THERE A FORMALITY OF HOW WE DO THIS? I'M NOT AWARE.

>> I'M NOT EXACTLY SURE HOW THE PROCESS WORKS.

>> IS ONE HERE? TO SEE NEED TO BE HERE TO HELP US WITH THAT? TAKE IT OVER DOING IS REQUESTIN IT SO WE CAN JUST INSTRUCT TO CHECK INTO WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE

. >> AND THEN BRING IT BACK?

>> RIGHT. >> IS THAT OKAY, COMMISSIONER?

>> THAT'S FINE. >> DO YOU WANT TO MAKE A MOTION?

>> MAKES A MOTION TO INSTRUCT THE PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR TO CHECK INTO THIS AND SEE WHAT AR THE ACTIONS THAT WOULD BE REQUIRED AND IF THEY WOULD BE WILLING TO ACCEPT THIS.

THAT'S MY MOTION. >> SECOND.

>> WE HAVE A MOTION IN A SECOND. >> SOME QUICK DISCUSSION.

I GUESS THE COMMISSIONER CAN HELP US WITH THIS, THIS IS BASICALLY JUST TO SEE A GUESS THEIR LEVEL OF INTEREST OR COMMITMENT ON THIS PLAN ON THIS PROPOSAL?

>> WE HAVE ALWAYS SAID AND YOU AND I HAVE HAD A NUMBER OF CONVERSATIONS, IF WE EVER WANT TO MAKE OUR AIRPORT VIABLE, WE NEED TO HAVE AN ACCESS TO IT THAT DOES NOT GO THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF ROB STONE TO GET TO OUR AIRPORT NOW, NO MATTER WHAT DIRECTION YOU COME FROM, YOU HAVE TO CROSS A RAILROAD TRACK IF THAT WERE BLOCKED, WE MIGHT HAVE AN ISSUE, BUT THIS WOULD GIVE US DIRECT ACCESS TO THE AIRPORT OFF OF I 69.

THE MAP THAT IS ATTACHED TO THE ATTACHMENT IN I APOLOGIZE AGAIN ON MAKE SURE THAT CONNIE HAS SLIDES FOR ALL OF THESE, BUT TH BACK AND 2015 OR 2016, THEY PUT TOGETHER THIS PRESENTATION FOR US ABOUT THEIR SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO GET TO THE AIRPORT AND S WHAT I WANTED TO DO WAS TO PUT THIS BACK IN FRONT OF TEX DOT AND ASK FOR THEM TO HELP US MOV FORWARD WITH THIS AND OBVIOUSLY GET OUR PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR T WORK WITH THEM.

I HAD PUT IT ON THE AGENDA IN THE PAST, I WOULD SUBMIT THIS TO THE MPO, THE COUNTY JUDGE FOUND OUT THAT WAS NOT THE PROPER PLACE IT SHOULD GO TO THE TEXT DOT RULE PROGRAM SO ALL I WANT TO DO IS SUBMIT THIS TO THEM AND GET THEM TO HELP US MOVE IT FORWARD AND SEE IF THIS IS SOMETHING THAT TEXT DOT WOULD LIKE TO DO. I KNOW HOW IT IS IF WE SUBMIT THIS NOW, WE MIGHT HEAR ABOUT I BY 2030 OR SOMEWHERE IN THE NEA FUTURE. BUT AS WE GO FORWARD WITH OUR AIRPORT, I THINK THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT CONCEPT.

I'M GLAD YOU WERE ABLE TO WORK OUT TO POSSIBLE ROUTES.

I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT MORE CUT AND DRIED, KIND OF ANGLE TO GET TO THE AIRPORT ITSELF WITH THIS IS MOR OF THE ROUNDABOUT WITH YOU GO NORTH OR SOUTH, HOPEFULLY THE COMMITTEE HAS ACCESS TO THE MAP THAT WE HAVE AVAILABLE IN OUR POCKET. I THINK IT'S A GREAT CONCEPT IN

[01:25:02]

YOUR RIGHT, IT MIGHT TAKE A WHILE, BUT I KNOW THAT OUR DISCUSSIONS IN THE LAST TIME I MET WITH YOU WELL AND OUR BOARD OF ADVISOR COMMITTEE THEN COME OUT WAS THAT THEY'RE SEEMS TO B LOTS OF FUNDING AVAILABLE THAT WE ARE NOT TAPPING INTO, SO WE HAVE TO JUMP ON IT. I'M GLAD WERE DOING THAT.

I AM THANKFUL WE HAVE BETTER CLARIFICATION NOW ON HOW TO PURSUE THIS, HOPEFULLY IT DOESN'T TAKE 220 OR 30, BUT I THINK WE ARE CLOSER TO IT HAPPENING THAN ORIGINALLY BECAUSE I REMEMBER THIS FIRST BEING BROUGHT UP WHEN I FIRST HEARD ABOUT IT WAS 2017 WHEN I FIRST GOT INTO OFFICE, SO FOR ME , THAT WAS LEARNING CURVE, BUT WE HAVE THESE TWO ALTERNATE ROUTES SO TO SPEAK. THEY MAY HAVE SOME MIND OF HOW TO BETTER CONNECT, WHATEVER IT MAY BE A THINK WE NEED TO PURSU IT AND FIX UP OUR AIRPORT. I THINK YOU MENTIONED LAST TIME WE HAVE A LOT OF TOUCHING GOES NOW THAT ARE HAPPENING AT THE AIRPORT WHICH INCREASES THE NUMBERS I THINK IT IS OPEN WHEN ALTOGETHER. I AM GREATLY IN FAVOR OF IT AND I'M GLAD THAT YOU FINALLY LABELED IT WITH THE RIGHT

PROGRAM SO THAT WE CAN PROCEED. >> THAT WAS JUST AFTER MY PHONE CALL TO THEM. I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.

>> THEY WOULD MEET THE QUALIFICATIONS IF THEY CHOSE TO BE ON THE COURT APPOINTMENT LIST .

>> BUT YOU HAVE TO PUT YOURSELF OUT THERE, BUT IT'S NOT THAT YO HAVEN'T GONE TO TRIAL OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, THERE IS

NOTHING THAT THEY'RE MISSING. >> I THINK THEY HAVE IT SET UP WHERE IF YOU WANT TO BE APPOINTED TO SAVE FIRST-DEGREE FELONIES THEY HAVE A DIFFERENT REQUIREMENT THEN THEY DO FOR MISDEMEANORS. I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT THAT IS

THESE DAYS. >> I AND SOME OF THOSE VOTES TOO

, SO I'M NOT SURE. >> WE HAVE ALL LEVELS.

WE HAVE SOME IN THEIR FIRST YEA OF PRACTICE, WE DON'T GIVE THOS FIRST DEGREES. WE KIND OF FOLLOW THE SAME IDEA.

YOU NEED TO HAVE MORE EXPERIENC TO HANDLE THE MORE INTENSE.

>> AND THE OTHER QUESTION IS HAVE YOUR PUBLIC DEFENDER'S

OFFICE, DO THEY GO TO TRIAL? >> WE'VE ONLY HAD TO HAVE ONE

TRIAL IN THREE YEARS. >> OKAY.

>> I DO HAVE QUESTIONS. IS THERE ANY REASON, AND THIS WOULD BE A JUDICIAL QUESTION, BUT IT STARTS WITH YOU, IS THER ANY REASON WHY THE JUDGES COULDN'T APPOINT CAPITAL MURDER CASES AND THINGS LIKE THAT TO YOUR OFFICE? TO GET THAT IS A GOOD QUESTION, I THINK IT MAY HAVE BEEN PART O THE GRANT AWARD THAT SAID THAT EXCLUDED CAPITAL MURDER, NOT NECESSARILY BECAUSE OF CAPABILITY, BUT BECAUSE CAPITAL MURDER CASES DO TAKE SO MANY RESOURCES THAT IF WE WERE WORKING ON CAPITAL MURDER, WE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO WORK ON THIS MANY CASES TO BRING AS MUC VALUE, SO IS IT POSSIBLE? PERHAPS. I THINK UNDER THE CURRENT WORDING, WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO DO IT, BUT WE COULD REVISIT THA

IF IT IS SOMETHING THAT BECAME. >> AT THINK IT'S SOMETHING WE NEED TO LOOK AT BECAUSE PART OF THE VALUE I AM SINGING THE SAME SONG IS ON. PART OF THE VALUE WAS TO BE A REDUCTION AND ATTORNEYS FEES AN I'M NOT SEEING IT.

THAT IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST HITS WE TAKE AND WE DON'T HAVE TONS OF THEM, BUT THOSE THINGS COST US A FORTUNE WARMER HAPPENED TO DO CAPITAL MURDER CASES. NOT JUST CAPITAL MURDER CASES, WOULD LIKE TO KIND OF NOTE TO WHAT IS BEING APPOINTED BY THE JUDGES BECAUSE THE FACT THAT YOU'VE ONLY HAD ONE TRIAL REALL ISN'T A SUPER GOOD THING FOR ME I MEAN I KNOW IT MEANS YOU'RE RESOLVING CASES BUT AT THE SAME TIME, ALL THESE OTHER CASES THA COST US A FORTUNE ARE GOING TO TRIAL ARE BEING PAID TO PRIVATE ATTORNEYS AT UP MUCH HIGHER RATES, SO I THINK WE OUGHT TO A LEAST TAKE A LOOK AT THAT IS WE'RE GOING THROUGH THIS TO SEE WITHOUT LANGUAGES AND HAD SOME CONVERSATIONS WITH THE JUDGES BECAUSE WE'RE GETTING TO THAT POINT WHERE IT'S GOING TO START COUNTING COSTING THE COUNTY ALLOWED SPIRITS AGAIN, THE PITC WAS YES VALUE AND YES TO HELP PEOPLE, BUT IT WAS ALSO, HEY, COMMISSIONER COURT, WE ARE GOIN TO REDUCE YOUR ATTORNEYS FEES BECAUSE WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE TO PAY AS MUCH AS APPOINTED FEE AND I'M NOT SEEING THAT YET. EMCEEING THE SAME THING, SO IF WE COULD GO BACK AND LOOK AT WHAT WE COULD POSSIBLY EXPAND I

THE CASE OF APPOINTMENTS TO BE. >> PERFECT FOR ITS.

>> I THINK THAT WAS OUR CONVERSATION WHEN I MET WITH YOU . I THINK YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO D A BROAD BASE OF ALL OF THESE IT WOULD REALLY FREE OF OUR JAIL HOPEFULLY IN CLEAR UP SOME CASE SOONER FOR PEOPLE IF WE HAD THIS

. >> I WROTE IT DOWN, I WILL TALK ABOUT THE CAPITAL CASES AND MY VIEW ON THE TRIALS, IF YOU RECALL, PART OF THE ORIGINAL GRANT WAS FOR PURPOSES OF HELPING REDUCE THE BACKLOG FROM COVID AND THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF TRIALS THIS YEAR IN LAST YEAR , BUT MOST OF THOSE ARE FROM THE COVID ERA WHICH WAS BEFORE US, SO THOSE ARE EXPENSIVE

[01:40:05]

BECAUSE PEOPLE HAVE SAT IN THE JAIL FOR THREE OR FOUR YEARS BEFORE THEY GO TO TRIAL. WE DON'T HAVE ANYBODY HAS BEEN IN JAIL FOR THREE OR FOUR YEARS SO IF WE HAVE SOMETHING THAT IS SO SERIOUS THAT IT IS BEHIND THOSE CASES, IT JUST HASN'T BEE REACHED FOR TRIAL YET. THAT IS PART OF IT AND OF COURS EVERY COURT IS DIFFERENT TWO. IF THEY DON'T HAVE ONE OF THE OLDER CASES QUEUED UP FOR THIS MONTH AND ONE OF OURS IS, WE MA GO TO TRIAL FASTER THAN ONE OF THE OLDER CASES, I HOPE IT WE ARE GETTING OUT OF THE COVID DELAYED NOW WITH THE ACTIVITY THAT'S BEEN HAPPENING IN THE COURTS.

>> WITH THAT HARDCHARGING TAN SHERIFF, I KNOW WE'VE GOT TO BE

OUT OF THAT COVID STUFF. >> ABSOLUTELY.

>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? >> I JUST HAVE ONE COMMENT.

WE USED TO SEE WHEN I WAS COMMISSIONER IN MY PAST LIFE, W USED TO GET A REGULAR REPORT ON THE APPOINTED ATTORNEYS, AND WE DON'T GET THAT IN THE MORE. THAT WOULD HELP.

>> THERE IS AN ANNUAL REPORT. >> I'VE ASKED FOR ONE AND THEY GAVE IT TO ME. WE USED TO HAVE IT SENT TO US O REGULAR BASIS, AP THE OTHER COMMISSIONERS DON'T WANT TO SEE IT, BUT I THINK AS WE GO FORWAR AS COMMISSIONER CHESNEY SAID, ONE OF THE PERKS OF HAVING A PUBLIC DEFENDER'S OFFICE IS SUPPOSED TO BE TO REDUCE THAT EXPENDITURE AND WHEN I EVALUATE IT BACK IN FEBRUARY OR MARCH OF LAST YEAR, I DIDN'T SEE THAT

THAT WAS HAPPENING. >> SO YOU'RE ASKING ABOUT THE FEES LAKE MAY BE ON A QUARTERLY BASIS THAT ARE PAID OUT?

>> SOMETHING LIKE THAT. >> I CAN'T SPEAK FOR THE AUDITOR , BUT I THINK THEY ARE TRACKING ALL OF THAT AND HAVE ALL OF THAT INFORMATION. I THINK IT'S A GREAT PROGRAM,

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> THANK YOU.

I WILL BRING A LOT OF DATA IN THE SUMMER.

>> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU.
