ANYONE HERE THAT DID NOT HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SIGN UP THAT WISHES TO SPEAK IN THIS PUBLIC HEARING? IF THERE ARE NONE THEN IT IS 909 AND WE WILL CLOSE THIS PUBLIC HEARING. NOW WE'RE GOING BACK TO OUR REGULAR HEARINGS AND WE'RE ADOPTING THE FOLLOWING

FIRST WE HAVE F ONE IS RECOGNIZING SEPTEMBER AS VETERAN SUICIDE AWARENESS MONTH AND DEANDRA IS GOING TO READ THAT

ONE. >> WHEREAS THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO SERVED IN THE UNITED STATES ARMED FORCES MADE TREMENDOUS SACRIFICES IN SERVICE TO OUR NATION AND SUPPORTING THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF OUR VETERANS MEANS RESPONSIBILITY SHARED BY OUR ENTIRE COMMUNITY. WHEREAS VETERAN SUICIDE REMAINS A SERIOUS CONCERN AN AVERAGE OF 17.5 VETERANS DIE BY SUICIDE EACH DAY AND MORE THAN 60% OF THOSE VETERANS ARE NOT ACTIVELY ENGAGED IN VA CARE.

DULY ADOPTED BY THE VOTE OF COMMISSIONERS COURT NUECES COUNTY TEXAS ON THIS THE SECOND DAY OF SEPTEMBER, 2026.

>> WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY I. ANY OPPOSED. ♪ ♪ -- MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. ONE OF YOU LADIES -- OR DO ALL OF YOU WANT TO SPEAK. WHOEVER WANTS TO SPEAK PLEASE.

WE APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE TODAY AND WHAT YOU DO EVERY DAY

FOR SURE. >> GOOD MORNING THANKS FOR HAVING US BUY RAISE THE MICROPHONE UP A LITTLE BIT.

>> GOOD MORNING. MY NAME IS BRANDY SPARKS.

WITH ME TODAY IS ROSALIE -- BOTH OF THE SUICIDE PREVENTION PROGRAM HERE AT OUR LOCAL VA. THEY'RE GOING TO SHARE A LITTLE MORE ABOUT WHAT YOU JUST HEARD AND THE PROCLAMATION AND HOW WE CAN FURTHER HELP OUR VETERANS THROUGH SIGNAGE IN OUR COUNTY'S.

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. I'M SUZANNE THE COORDINATION -- ELIMINATING VETERAN SUICIDE IS A TOP PRIORITY ACROSS ALL THE VA VA TEXAS, TEXAS VALLEY, PARTNERING COUNTIES IN OUR CATCHMENT AREA AND 988 CRISIS LINE SITE -- FOR BACKGROUND VA HAS COMPREHENSIVE SUICIDE PREVENTION STRATEGY IN HOUSE INCLUDING SCREENING, INTERVENTION AND RESOURCES BUT ONE MAJOR CHALLENGE WE FACE IS ABOUT 60% OF VETERANS WHO DIE BY SUICIDE ARE NOT ENGAGED IN VA CARE.

FOR THOSE VETERANS WE WANT TO ENSURE THEY KNOW THAT HELP IS AVAILABLE TO THEM IN MOMENTS OF CRISIS THROUGH THE 24 OVER SEVEN CRISIS LINE. WE HAVE A LARGE NUMBER OF 988 SIGNS SEEN IN FRONT OF YOU. THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY 2 FEET BY 3 FEET AND WE'D LOVE TO PLACE THEM IN LOCATIONS THAT VETERANS ARE LIKELY TO FREQUENT. MAYBE WALKING TRAILS, PARKS, FISHING DOCKS, SPORTS COMPLEXES AND OTHER LOCATIONS.

TO PROMOTE THE AVAILABILITY OF THIS CRITICAL RESOURCE.

WE'RE HOPING TO GET THESE INSTALLED AS YOU'VE HEARD SEPTEMBER IS SUICIDE PREVENTION MONTH AND WE'D LOVE TO HIGHLIGHT THESE PARTNERSHIPS BY ENCOURAGING VETERANS TO GO OUT IN THEIR COMMUNITIES, FIND THE SIGNS AND TAG A FELLOW VETERAN TO SHARE THE MESSAGE. SO FAR CAMERON COUNTY HAS AGREED TO INSTALL THE SIGNS AND WE'RE TALKING WITH HIDALGO COUNTY.

>> PERFECT. >> MY NAME IS ROSALIE AND I'M ALSO SUICIDE PREVENTION COORDINATOR HERE AT TEXAS COUNTY -- AND TO REITERATE, BASED ON 2023 DATA, 17.5 VETERANS DIE BY SUICIDE EACH DAY. 6.8 ARE ACTIVELY ENGAGED WITH VA CARE AND THE REMAINING 10.7 ARE NOT.

THAT'S A BARRIER WE FACE WHEN WE'RE PROVIDING SUICIDE PREVENTION CARE. PROPOSED SOLUTION TO THE BARRIER THAT WE'RE SEEKING COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS TO PROMOTE THE VETERAN CRISIS LINE AND WE'D LIKE TO PROMOTE IMMEDIATE ACCESS TO LIFE SAVING RESOURCE AT THE EXACT MOMENT SOMEONE MAY NEED IT. ADDITIONAL BENEFITS TO THE BROADER COMMUNITY INCLUDE 988 CRISIS LINE AIMS TO SERVE VETERANS BUT ALSO SERVE NON-VETERANS SO EVERYONE IN OUR COMMUNITY. TEENAGERS, OLDER ADULTS, FIRST RESPONDERS, ANYONE IN EMOTIONAL DISTRESS OR MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS CAN RECEIVE SUPPORT FROM THE 988 CRISIS LINE. THE PROPOSED TIMELINE WE HAVE IS FOR SIGNS TO BE INSTALLED THROUGH THE COMMUNITY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. SEPTEMBER SUICIDE PREVENTION MONTH AND THIS WOULD MAKE A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO GET INVOLVED. SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGN BY OUR TEXAS VALLEY COASTAL HIGHLIGHTS THE COLLABORATION ON THIS IMPORTANT MATTER TO PROMOTE AND UTILIZE COUNTY FACILITIES TO PROMOTE THE 988 CRISIS LINE. THANK YOU AND WE WELCOME ANY

QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS. >> DOES ANYONE ELSE WISH TO SPEAK FIRST? I'D LIKE TO SAY THIS IS AWESOME AND I THANK THE GENTLEMAN IN THE BACK OVER HERE EDWARD AND THE GENTLEMAN OVER HERE J.J. OUR VETERANS.

[00:10:03]

CAN DO. >> IF I COULD, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR THE WORK YOU'RE DOING. IF YOU DO THE MATH ON THE NUMBERS AND PERCENTAGES, IF YOU'RE SPEAKING OF IN 2023 ALMOST 6400 VETERANS COMMITTED SUICIDE IN THIS COUNTRY AND IT'S AN ATROCIOUS NUMBER. WE WANT TO DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO MAKE SURE WE DO THAT. I CAN REMEMBER PICKING UP SEVERAL OF MY FRIENDS FROM THE AIRPORT WHEN THEY CAME HOME FROM VIETNAM AND THEY JUST PUT THEM ON A PLANE AND SENT THEM HOME AND THERE WAS NO DISCUSSION ABOUT WHAT THEY HAD BEEN THROUGH, WHAT THEY HAD SEEN, WHAT THEY EXPERIENCED.

THEY JUST SENT THEM HOME AND WE HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO PROVIDE THE CARE THAT THEY NEED. AND THE ABILITY TO REENGAGE INTO SOCIETY AND MAKE THE PROPER DECISIONS SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH

FOR WHAT YOU DO. >> THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU GUYS DO AND I THINK IT'S A GREAT PRO PROGRAM.

TO BE PARTNERS -- WHATEVER WE CAN DO BECAUSE BEING A VETERAN MYSELF THERE'S NEVER ENOUGH PROGRAMS THAT CAN HELP AND THERE'S ALL THESE PROGRAMS BUT THERE'S MORE VETERANS THAN PROGRAMS. SO I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU GUYS REACHING OUT TO GET INVOLVED IN YOUR PROCESS AND HELPING VETERANS SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO.

>> DID WE VOTE? >> WE ALREADY VOTED.

WE VOTED YES. BUT WE'D LOVE TO HAVE YOU ALL COME DOWN FRONT AND TAKE A PICTURE WITH US AND JUST APPRECIATE WHAT YOU DO. I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S A COST INVOLVED IN THESE OR I GUESS THAT WOULD MAYBE BE A QUESTION.

>> THE SIGNS ARE PROVIDED SO WE ALREADY HAVE THEM MADE UP AND

READY TO GO. >> WE DEFINITELY WANT TO WORK WITH YOU WHEREVER IT'S AVAILABLE AND WE CAN PUT THEM UP IN PARKS, BUILDINGS, WHATEVER WE NEED TO DO.

THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH.

[1. Receive presentation from Belinda Flores, Medical Lead on the Nueces County Operation Health and Wellness event held on July 13-24, 2026, a no-cost event to the public and all related matters. ]

MOVING ON TO OUR REGULAR AGENDA ITEM ONE, WE HAVE BELINDA FLORES HERE. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.

RECEIVE A PRESENTATION FROM BELINDA FOR MEDICAL LEAVE ON OUR NUECES COUNTY OPERATION HEALTH AND WELLNESS EVENT HELD ON JULY 13 THROUGH 24TH THIS PAST YEAR 2026.

A NO COST EVENT TO THE PUBLIC IN ALL RELATED MATTERS AND WE APPRECIATE EVERYTHING YOU'VE DONE.

MANY YEARS OF THIS AND PARTICIPATING WORK.

EXCITED TO HEAR ALL THE HIGHLIGHTS THAT HAPPENED DURING THIS SO THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.

>> THANK YOU JUDGE AND COMMISSIONERS.

I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT THE GREAT SUCCESS WE HAD AGAIN THIS YEAR WITH OUR IRT MISSION WE HAD. IT WAS FROM JULY 13TH TO 24TH AND WE CAN MOVE ON TO THE NEXT SLIDE.

THIS IS JUST A LITTLE OVERVIEW OF WHAT IT IS.

WAS AGAIN FROM JULY 13TH TO 24TH AND IT WAS THE NAVY RESERVE THAT PARTNERED WITH NUECES COUNTY TO PROVIDE MEDICAL DENTAL BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, OPTOMETRY GLASS FABRICATION SERVICES TO THE RESIDENTS OF NUECES COUNTY AND SURROUNDING AREAS PICK THE PARTNERSHIP WAS WITH THE NATIONAL GUARD, MARINES AIR FORCE RESERVE AND ARMY RESERVE AND THE MISSIONS NOT ONLY TO TRAIN OUR MILITARY IN REAL WORLD HUMANITARIAN RELIEF BUT ALSO DELIVER HEALTH CARE SERVICES TO THE MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES THROUGH NUECES COUNTY AND SURROUNDING AREAS. ADDITIONALLY WE DID HAVE A CIVIL ARMY RESERVE BRAVO COMPANY DOING CONCURRING CIVIL AFFAIRS MISSION

[00:25:01]

I WILL SAY THAT IT WAS A GREAT SUCCESS BECAUSE WE HAD THE DIFFERENT BRANCHES OF OUR ARMED SERVICES SO IT WAS GREAT TO SEE THEM WORK TOGETHER AND CONTRIBUTE BUT IT WAS INTERESTING TO WATCH BECAUSE THEY ALL WANT TO BE THE CHIEFS.

[LAUGHTER] BUT WE ALL KIND OF MESHED AND IT CAME TOGETHER AND IT WAS A GREAT SUCCESS.

NEXT SLIDE WE HAD THREE LOCATIONS.

WEST JUNIOR HIGH WAS OUR MAIN LOCATION AND THEN WE HAD THE BUILDING IN ROBSTOWN AND OUR THIRD LOCATION WAS MISSION OF MERCY. NEXT SLIDE.

FOR MEDICAL WE SERVED 1822 INDIVIDUAL PATIENTS WITH 8179 SERVICES THAT WERE PROVIDED. IF WE WERE USING THE COST THERE THE MEDICARE COST BECAUSE WE DID HAVE A SUPER BILL WHERE THE PHYSICIANS OR PROVIDERS WOULD TAKE WHATEVER SERVICES WERE DONE SO FOR THE MEDICARE COST FOR MEDICAL WAS OVER ABOUT $242,000 AND THEN IF IT WAS IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR IT WOULD HAVE BEEN OVER A MILLION $300,000 IN SERVICES.

NEXT IS DENTAL. WE SERVED 791 PATIENTS.

THIS IS THE AREA WHERE OUR COMMUNITY REALLY COMES OUT FOR IF WE HAD MORE DENTISTS WE WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SERVE MORE PEOPLE BUT WE HAD 15 DENTISTS THAT CAME OUT TO HELP US AND SO WE WERE ABLE TO SERVE ALMOST 800 PATIENTS AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE GETTING FILLINGS, GETTING DIFFERENT SERVICES.

THIS OLDER GENTLEMAN CAME IN THAT HAD FUNDING INSURANCE TO GET DENTURES BUT IT DIDN'T COVER THE REMOVAL OF HIS TEETH.

SO THEY REMOVED ALL OF HIS TEETH AND IT WOULD HAVE BEEN ABOUT $15,000 IS WHAT HE QUOTED THEY WERE TELLING HIM IT WOULD HAVE COST HIM. IT WAS AT NO COST TO ANY OF THE MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY. THEY WALKED THROUGH THE DOOR, THEY GOT THE SERVICES THEY NEEDED.

SO THE INSURANCE COST FOR THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN ABOUT $843,000.

MEDICARE COST OVER $519,000. NEXT SLIDE WE DID OPTOMETRY PATIENTS. WE SERVED 1265 WITH SERVICES UP TO 4103 SERVICES BECAUSE SOME CAME IN AND GOT THEIR EYES DILATED TO GET MEDICATIONS, SOME GOT GLASSES, SOME HAD BIFOCALS AND NOT ONLY DID THIS COURT HELP WITH PUTTING THIS TOGETHER, TO PUT THIS URT TOGETHER BUT ALSO PROVIDED $13,000 IN VOUCHERS SO PEOPLE WERE ABLE TO GO OUT INTO THE COMMUNITY -- GO OUT INTO OUR COMMUNITY TO DIFFERENT PROVIDERS.

THERE WAS THREE PROVIDERS THAT SAID THEY WOULD HONOR THE VOUCHERS AND SO OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS COULD GO TO THOSE FACILITIES AND THEY COULD GET THOSE GLASSES.

PEOPLE WERE SO GRATEFUL. WE HAD A 13-YEAR-OLD THAT WAS BEING RAISED BY HER GRANDMOTHER THAT CAME TO PICK UP HER GLASSES AND SAID GRANDMA, I CAN SEE. THAT'S JUST INVALUABLE TO HEAR STORIES LIKE THAT. WE ALSO HAVE VETERINARY SERVICES AND SERVE THESE DAYS OUR PETS ARE PART OF OUR FAMILY SO WE SERVED 1874 PETS WITH SERVICES UP TO OVER 4000 AND THEY GOT VOUCHERS FOR SPAYED AND NEUTERING VACCINES THAT WERE NEEDED AND THE SERVICES WERE SOUGHT AFTER HIGHLY FROM OUR COMMUNITY. SOME FAMILIES BROUGHT UP TO FIVE PETS SO IT WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY COSTLY FOR THEM.

NEXT WE HAVE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH. WE DID HAVE SOME PATIENTS THAT TOOK ADVANTAGE OF TALKING TO COUNSELORS.

WE PARTNERED WITH MH I'D AND OUR MILITARY AS WELL AND WE WERE ABLE TO HELP SOME PEOPLE WITH BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES.

OUR NEXT ONE IS PHARMACY PICK WE FILLED 878 PRESCRIPTIONS THERE BUT THERE WERE PRESCRIPTIONS THAT WERE NOT FILLED WITH US, BUT BECAUSE THE PHARMACY SCHOOL, THOSE PHARMACISTS HAD CONNECTIONS WITH LOCAL PHARMACISTS AND PHARMACIES AND THEY WERE ABLE TO FILL THOSE PRESCRIPTIONS AT NO COST AS WELL SO PEOPLE WERE ABLE TO GET THE MEDICATIONS THAT THEY NEEDED.

THE LAST SERVICE WE PROVIDED ALSO WAS CHAPLAIN.

[00:30:04]

SOME DIDN'T WANT TO SPEAK TO A MENTAL HEALTH PROVIDER BUT THEY WERE WILLING TO SPEAK TO A CHAPLAIN SO THEY TOOK TIME TO SPEAK TO THE CHAPLAINS THAT WE HAD THERE.

LAST SLIDE IN TOTAL WE SERVED 2250 INDIVIDUAL PATIENTS.

TOTAL PATIENTS WITH 6586 TOTAL SERVICES 19,316.

OF COST IF IT HAD BEEN PRIVATE INSURANCE OVER $3 MILLION OF THE MEDICARE COST WOULD HAVE BEEN OVER A MILLION DOLLARS.

THE LAST -- LAST SLIDE IS OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS.

WE COULDN'T HAVE DONE THIS WITHOUT OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS BECAUSE THE PATIENTS THE BEAUTY OF HAVING AN ERT IS NOT ONLY THAT OUR COMMUNITY GOT SERVED BUT NOW THEY HAVE SOMEPLACE THEY COULD FOLLOW UP. THE MISSION OF MERCY TEXAS PLANNING DIFFERENT CLINICS WELLNESS FOUNDATION FOR THEIR TO SAY WE WILL FOLLOW THESE PATIENTS SO NOW OUR PATIENTS ARE NOT HAVING TO SHOW UP IN THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT.

THEY CAN COME TO A CLINIC AND GET THE CARE THEY NEED.

SO VERY GRATEFUL TO YOU JUDGE AND THE COMMISSIONERS FOR HEADING THIS MISSION. WERE VERY EXCITED AND GLAD -- COMMISSIONER WOULD SAY -- SAYING IF HE GOT A CAUSE BECAUSE WE NEED SOMETHING FOR SO VERY GRATEFUL TO COMMISSIONER FOR HIS HARD WORK AND DEDICATION TO THIS MISSION AND TO EVERYBODY THAT HELPED WITH THE MISSION. THE LAST ONE IS A VIDEO IF YOU WANT TO SHOW IT, IT'S JUST A FEW MINUTES TO GIVE YOU WHAT THE MILITARY HAD TO SAY AS WELL FOR THE MISSION.

>> NOT SEEING THE VIDEO. IS THAT IT?

>> YES. >> HERE WE GO.

>> ONE OF THE GREAT STORIES I'VE HEARD -- ONE OF THEM THAT STUCK WITH ME IS THIS 13-YEAR-OLD GIRL THAT HER GRANDMOTHER'S RAISING HER CAME IN TO GET HER EYES CHECKED AND GOT GLASSES AND I REMEMBER HER WALKING OUT THE DOOR WITH HER GLASSES AND SAID

GRANDMA I CAN SEE. >> MOST OF THE PEOPLE SERVED ARE THOSE UNDERINSURED, NO INSURANCE.

THEY REALLY NEED THE HELP. FROM THE -- RURAL AREAS.

>> THE TRAINING PROGRAM BRINGS UP MANY ASPECTS OF SERVICES TOGETHER BUT IT'S UNIQUE THAT IT ALLOWS US TO DO HANDS ON TRAINING WITHIN OUR COMMUNITIES. THIS IS DIFFERENT FROM STANDARD MILITARY TRAINING WHERE WE'RE OUT IN A FIELD WORKING WITH MANNEQUINS IN NOTIONAL ENVIRONMENTS BUY WE'VE BROUGHT HUNDREDS OF MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS AND DENTAL PROFESSIONALS FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO TRAIN TOGETHER, INCREASE OUR INTEROPERABILITY. IT'S BASICALLY GIVING US A CHANCE TO BECOME A COHESIVE UNIT.

>> AND THE ERT PROGRAM WE BRING TOGETHER THE TRAINING NEEDS OF OUR MILITARY. WE HAVE THE NAVY, NATIONAL GUARD, ARMY RESERVE AND TAKE THE TRAINING NEED AND AT THE SAME TIME ARE ABLE TO ASSIST THE COMMUNITY WITH NO COST.

AT THE JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL AS WELL AS THE TOWN SITE --

>> THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO SITES IS HERE WE'RE IN MORE OF A CONDENSED URBAN ENVIRONMENT.

THE ROBSTOWN SITE IS LESS DENSELY POPULATED AND FOR SOME OF THE MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY THE TRAVEL COSTS CAN BE PROHIBITIVELY EXPENSIVE FOR HEALTH CARE.

IF YOU THINK ABOUT ACCESS TO CARE IN ADDITION TO HEALTH INSURANCE AND THE COST OF CARE ITSELF THERE'S ALSO COST OF TRANSPORTATION AND TIME AWAY FROM WORK.

SPREADING OUT INTO TWO SITES WE'RE BRINGING OUR SERVICES TO THE COMMUNITY RATHER THAN REQUIRING THE COMMUNITY TO COME

TO OUR CENTRALLY LOCATED. >> -- SPLITTING OUR OPERATIONS BETWEEN ROBSTOWN AND CORPUS CHRISTI NOT ONLY ALLOWS US TO SERVE DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES AND SPLIT THE LINE TO SHORTEN WAIT TIMES, BUT IT ALSO PROVIDES AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO PRACTICE AN OPERATING OR DETACHMENT STYLED CLINIC THAT WE MIGHT SEE IN A DEPLOYED ENVIRONMENT. IT ALLOWS OPPORTUNITY FOR TRAINING AND ADDITIONAL ROLES FOR LEADERSHIP SO WE'RE BETTER

PREPARED TO SERVE MISSIONS. >> WE COME IN AND TREAT

[00:35:03]

AND MAKE AN ENORMOUS IMPACT. SOMEWHERE IN THE ONE TO $2 MILLION RANGE IN A TWO WEEK. OF TIME FOR FAIR MARKET VALUE.

>> I REALLY LIKE TO STRESS THE VALUE OF THESE TRAINING DOLLARS.

THAT EVERY SERVICE MEMBER'S ENTITLED TO A CERTAIN NUMBER OF DAYS ON A TEE AND USING THOSE DOLLARS TO TRAIN AND SUPPORT THE COMMUNITY MAKES AMERICA A. BETTER, STRONGER SAFER PLACE FOR TRAINING THE WARFIGHTER WHILE ALSO SUPPORTING OUR LOCAL

COMMUNITIES. >> EXCELLENT JOB, EXCELLENT VIDEO THANK YOU SO MUCH. THIS IS AN AMAZING PROGRAM AND I UNDERSTAND THERE ARE CONVERSATIONS TO CONTINUE AND MAKE THIS A PERMANENT PLACE FOR SOME OF THESE TRAININGS FOR OUR MILITARY AND STUFF WHICH WOULD BE AWESOME.

>> THANK YOU JUDGE AND COMMISSIONER.

ONE LAST THING I WANTED TO ADD, WE HAD ABOUT 250 MILITARY PERSONNEL HERE SO DURING THAT TIME THEY DID GO TO RESTAURANTS AND EAT AND HELPED OUR ECONOMY AS WELL.

I WANT TO THANK EDWARD BECAUSE COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT HIM. MY PARTNER IN CRIME.

>> I'D LIKE TO ADD THAT THERE'S A BENEFIT TO NUECES COUNTY AS WELL NOT ONLY TO OUR RESIDENTS BUT SINCE WE'RE -- SINCE WE GET TO PRACTICE WITH THE MILITARY DURING COVID AND WE GET TO BRING OUT AND HELP SUPPORT AND IT ALLOWS MY STAFF ADDITIONAL TRAINING TIME. WHAT THEY DIDN'T MENTION WAS ALL THE PROVIDERS NURSES, PROVIDED DOCTORS.

ONE OF OUR PREMIER PEOPLE THAT COMMISSIONER SAID WE'RE GOING TO DO THIS BY OURSELVES. SHE WAS ONE OF OUR PROVIDERS.

THAT HELPS THEM TRAIN THE COMMUNITY.

SO THERE'S A BIGGER BENEFIT TO ALL OF THIS.

>> IS A TREMENDOUS BENEFIT TO OUR COMMUNITY ESPECIALLY THE

RURAL AREAS AS WELL. >> IT IS A WIN-WIN FOR EVERYBODY. THANKS TO THE COMMISSIONERS COURT FOR SUPPORTING US FROM THE BEGINNING FEA COULDN'T HAVE BEEN DONE WITHOUT THE FINANCIAL SUPPORT OF -- BUT I WANT TO THANK MY TEAM. EDWARD, DOCTOR BAGGERMAN -- AND ALL THE PARTNERS ABOUT 50 PARTNERS THAT CAME TOGETHER.

ALSO MENTAL HEALTH AND REFERRALS, A LOT OF PEOPLE NOW ARE GOING TO DIFFERENT AGENCIES FOR HELP -- HEALTH AND SERVICES THAT OTHERWISE THEY WOULD PROBABLY NOT BE DOING THAT.

I ALSO WANT TO SAY THANKS TO THE COMMISSIONER FOR THIS YEAR TAKING THE LEAD ON THIS AND I APPRECIATE HIS TIME AND EFFORT.

COMMISSIONER FOR TAKING THE REINS AND JUMPING IN AND TAKING THE LEAD ON THIS PICK I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT.

I THINK YOU ALL DID A GOOD JOB OUT THERE AND I THINK THE RESULTS ARE GREAT. OTHER THAN THAT I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE COMMISSIONERS COURT AND THE TEAM HERE THIS IS SOMETHING THEY TRAIN AND WE SERVE THE COMMUNITY AND WE SERVE THEM WELL. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALL

THE HELP. >> THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR TIRELESS HOURS AND KNOWLEDGE IN GETTING THIS STARTED AND BRINGING IT HERE. I HOPE YOU WILL CONTINUE WITH THIS AND HELP MAKE THIS CONTINUE IN OUR COMMUNITY.

EDWARD, THANK YOU YOUR TEAM AS ALWAYS IT'S ALL ABOUT OUR EMPLOYEES IF THEY AREN'T THERE TO TAKE CARE OF US WE CAN SAY YES TO DO THE FUNDING BUT WE NEED THE PEOPLE THAT SHOW UP AND DO THE WORK FOR ALL OF YOU WHO PARTICIPATE WE GREATLY APPRECIATE. PUBLIC WORKS AS WELL.

>> AND THEY DID THE MAJOR PART OF THE WORK -- THANK THE CREW

FOR THAT. >> WE CAN'T TELL EDWARD ANY M MORE. [INDISCERNIBLE]

>> ABSOLUTELY. >> IF I COULD REAL QUICKLY, I HAD ABOUT THAT MUCH TO DO WITH THIS AND THERE WAS A LOT OF EFFORT THAT WENT INTO THIS. THIS IS NO SMALL TASK.

THE MILITARY USES THIS FOR TRAINING WHEN THEY GO INTO OTHER PARTS OF OUR COUNTRY AND SPECIFICALLY OTHER COUNTRIES.

THEY PROVIDE THESE KIND OF SERVICES.

THEY ALSO LEFT US WITH A GIANT STACK OF INFORMATION THAT WE ARE GOING TO UTILIZE FOR ASSESSING WHERE WE ARE.

THEY WENT OUT AND WENT DOOR TO DOOR TO COLLECT THAT INFORMATION AND IT -- IF THE COUNTY WOULD HAVE HAD TO PAY TO DO THAT IT WOULD HAVE COST US THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS.

[00:40:03]

HE WAS THE LEAD ON THIS. EDWARD DID A SPECTACULAR JOB AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOU DID.

JUST A TEAM EFFORT AND IT WAS A REAL PLEASURE WATCHING OUR MILITARY PEOPLE WORK TOGETHER AND MAKE THIS HAPPEN.

IT WAS VERY IMPRESSIVE. SO THANK YOU ALL VERY, VERY M MUCH. --

>> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU.

>> ITEM THREE -- THE AUDITOR REVIEW AND DISCUSS THE UNAUDITED FISCAL YEAR 2020 FINANCIAL REPORT DATED JUNE 30TH 2026 AND ALL RELATED MATTERS. IS THIS THE SAME ONE YOU GAVE

BEFORE? >> THIS IS JUNE.

>> OKAY. >> SHORT AND SWEET.

IT'S JUNE 30TH UNAUDITED. THERE'S THE SNAPSHOT ON YOUR SCREEN AND A COUPLE OF HIGHLIGHTS.

FIRST OF ALL THE PROPERTY TAXES THROUGH ALL OF THIS WERE 98% COLLECTION FOR THE TAX OFFICE. THAT'S PRETTY GOOD.

SO THERE'S A TWO MONTH DELAY IN THESE.

WE'RE TRYING TO GET THESE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OUT SOONER.

WE HAVE A LOT OF THE WORKDAY CHALLENGES THAT PERTAIN TO THIS ADDRESS BUT STILL WE'VE GOT THE ISSUES AND THE BIGGEST 1I THINK IS GOING TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE, THE REVENUES AND EXPENSES ACROSS THE MONTH. REVENUES ALL KIND OF PILE INTO THE AUDITOR'S OFFICE AT ONE TIME AND THEN WE START OUR WORK BECAUSE THE DEPARTMENTS HAVE A WHILE TO DO THEIR PART.

IT'S VERY DETAILED THAT GOES INTO THESE RECORDS ESSENTIALLY ALL AT THE SAME TIME WITHIN A SHORT TIME FRAME.

I WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT'S GOING TO BE KIND OF AN ONGOING THING WITH DEPARTMENTS THAT HAVE REVENUES TO SEE IF WE CAN FIND SOME WAY TO DO IT FASTER. OTHER HIGHLIGHTS SNAPSHOT THAT SECOND COLUMN FROM THE LEFT PROJECT FUND IN THE MIDDLE OF RECONCILING THAT AUDITOR'S OFFICE HAS DONE THE BEST THEY CAN. STILL THAT HAD TO BE RECONSTRUCTED GOING BACK IN TIME TO THE OLD ACCOUNTING SYSTEM AND INTO THE NEW ACCOUNTING SYSTEM. WE'VE GOT IT BUT NOW THE NEXT STEP IS TO WORK WITH THE STAFF THAT KNOW THOSE PROJECTS TO SEE IF WE'VE DONE IT RIGHT OR WHAT NEEDS TO BE MOVED AROUND.

DON'T HAVE A HIGH LEVEL OF CONFIDENCE IN THE DETAILS THERE SO OF COURSE TO FIND OUT WHAT'S LEFT FOR PROJECT REVISED.

ONE OTHER TIDBIT, FEMA THE STATE LEVEL FEMA REPRESENTATIVE AGENCY WE WERE TRYING TO -- FEMA STARTING TO CLOSE DOWN THEIR OLD GRANTS WHETHER YOU'RE READY OR NOT THEY JUST WANT THEM CLOSED DOWN AND IF YOU'RE NOT READY AND DON'T DO YOUR THING, THEY JUST CLOSE IT. WE WERE ABLE TO CATCH IT LAST MINUTE AND LITERALLY AT THE 11TH HOUR BEFORE THEY CLOSED IT ON THE FOUR GENERATORS, THAT'S PART OF A LARGER PROJECT THAT TOOK PLACE ABOUT SIX YEARS AGO. SO THE GOOD NEWS THERE IS.

>> AWESOME NEWS. >> THIS IS GOOD NEWS.

AT THE 11TH HOUR WE WERE PUTTING ALL THE FINAL PAPERWORK AND THE FOLKS SAID YOU GUYS ARE SLATED TO GET ONLY $0.32 ON THE DOLLAR FOR THESE BECAUSE OF ALL THE STUFF TAKING PLACE DURING COVID.

FEMA HONORED THEIR ORIGINAL DOLLAR AMOUNT EVEN THOUGH THE COST OF THE PROJECT WENT OUT. AS BEST AS I HAVE IT

[00:55:01]

SO THAT RESULTED IN AN INCREASE OF WHERE WE WERE HEADING WITH THE REIMBURSEMENT ON ALL OF THAT.

IMPROVES -- IF IT ALL COMES TO FRUITION BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO SEND IT AND GET IT APPROVED BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS IT LOOKS LIKE WE ARE GOING TO GET $1.4 MILLION MORE THAN WHAT WE EXPECTED TO GET. ON TOP OF THAT THEY SAID THE STATE CAN HELP WITH YOUR 25% TO THE EXTENT OF 19% STATE, 6% COUNTY. IF THIS COMES IN CASH THE COUNTY'S POSITION ON WHERE WE THOUGHT WE'D BE ON THE PROJECT AND WHERE WE WILL BE IMPROVED BY 1.9 MILLION.

THAT'S ENOUGH GOOD NEWS FOR YOU ALL.

WILL SAVE IT FOR THE NEXT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

[1. Authorize Project Budget Amendment (PBA) No. 12.]

[2. Authorize Budget Amendment No. 16.]

>> THANK YOU. MOVING ON TO THE BUDGET OFFICE.

DID I SKIP SOMETHING? AUTHORIZED PROJECT BUDGET

AMENDMENTS NUMBER 12. >> I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM ONE. I THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO START

PUTTING THESE -- >> WE WERE AND WE DID THAT BUT WE PULLED THEM OUT BECAUSE WE HAVE PROJECTS THAT GET VOTED ON BEFORE WE APPROVE THE TRANSFER OF THE FUNDS AND SOMETIMES WE DON'T HAVE FUNDS SO THE BUDGET AMENDMENTS WE WENT AHEAD AND PULLED BACK OUT AND PUT THEM IN THE AGENDA.

BECAUSE WE CANCELED A PROJECT AND HAD TO GO BACK AND DO ANOTHER BUDGET AMENDMENT TO REVERSE THE FUNDS WE ALREADY

I'M EXCITED TO INTRODUCE THE NUECES COUNTY MOBILE APP THAT'S NOW AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC. A NEW MOBILE PHONE PLATFORM WAS DEVELOPED TO PROVIDE OUR COMMUNITY WITH A SIMPLER, MORE CONVENIENT WAY TO ACCESS COUNTY INFORMATION, SERVICES AND RESOURCES DIRECTLY TO THEIR MOBILE DEVICES.

-- WILL PROVIDE AN OVERVIEW OF HOW TO DOWNLOAD THE APP, NAVIGATE FEATURES AND ACCESS AVAILABLE IN ONE CONVENIENT PLACE. NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.

THE NUECES COUNTY MOBILE APP HAS OFFICIALLY LAUNCHED AND IS NOW AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC DURING THE GOAL OF THE APP IS TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR RESIDENTS TO CONNECT TO NUECES COUNTY AND FIND THE INFORMATION FROM ANY DEVICE.

IT SUPPORTS EASIER NAVIGATION AND QUICKER ACCESS TO COUNTY INFORMATION SERVICES. HERE'S A LITTLE EXAMPLE OF WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE WHEN YOU GET THE APP DOWNLOADED TO YOUR DEVICE.

NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. FIRST WE'LL LOOK AT HOW TO DOWNLOAD THE APP. IT'S VERY EASY AND SIMPLE TO INSTALL. THAT'S WHAT WE'LL START WITH FIRST AND THEN WE'LL GO INTO THE APPEARANCE AND NAVIGATION.

I WILL GO OVER AN OVERVIEW OF WHAT THE FUNCTIONALITIES ARE AFTER THAT AND I WILL SHOW YOU A LITTLE MORE DETAIL ON THE COUNTY SERVICES APP JUST SO THAT WAY THAT'S THE ONE I WANT TO

[01:00:01]

THE INFORMATION I WILL PROVIDE IS DOWNLOAD AND INSTALLATION OF THE APP, IT'S REALLY SIMPLE. YOU OPEN UP YOUR APP STORE, WHATEVER MOBILE DEVICE YOU HAVE, WHETHER IT'S AN ANDROID OR PHONE YOU WILL DO A SEARCH FOR NUECES COUNTY AND ONCE YOU DO THAT SEARCH, YOU'RE GOING TO SELECT THE NUECES COUNTY GOVERNMENT TEXAS PICK THAT'S THE ONE YOU'LL BE LOOKING FOR.

THAT'S THE LITTLE ICON YOU WILL BE LOOKING FOR WHEN YOU DO THE INSTALL. AFTER THAT YOU WILL DOWNLOAD IT AND IT'LL BE READY TO USE AND START EXPLORING THE APP.

THE OTHER ONE IS THE COURT SECTION ONCE WE CLICK ON THAT IT WILL HAVE A CENTRALIZED ACCESS TO INFORMATION -- LISTED BY THE DEPARTMENT.

>> ABSOLUTELY. >> I'LL LET YOU TALK.

>> ABSOLUTELY WE'LL BE ABLE TO DO THAT ON THIS APP AS WELL.

>> THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS WE DESIGNED INTO THIS.

EACH DEPARTMENT WILL HAVE THE ABILITY TO HAVE NEW INFORMATION ADDED AS THEY NEED TO OR REMOVED IF THEY NEED TO, THAT KIND OF THING. BUT THIS IS A LIVING BREATHING APPLICATION IN ALL MY YEARS OF SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT ONE OF THE THINGS I'VE LEARNED BEST WAS THE WAY TO FIND OUT IF YOUR APPLICATION IS GOOD OR NOT IS TO TURN IT LOOSE TO THE PUBLIC.

>> ABSOLUTELY. >> THAT'S KIND OF WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE CALCULATING THE PUBLIC GET THEIR HANDS ON THIS AND AGAIN USING IT. AND PROBABLY CERTAINLY FIND THINGS WE WANT TO CHANGE OR MODIFY.

[01:05:04]

NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. THE LAST 1I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT A LITTLE BIT IS COUNTY SERVICES SINCE I FEEL IT'S ONE OF THE MOST CRUCIAL ONES HERE. I GAVE YOU AN EXAMPLE OF WHEN YOU CLICK ON THAT ICON, IT LISTS OUT ALL THE MOST FREQUENTLY USED COUNTY SERVICES AVAILABLE. AND IF THERE'S ANYTHING ON HERE YOU FEEL YOU NEED TO ADD OR MODIFY OR BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO DO THAT AS WELL HERE THIS IS WHERE THEY'LL BE ABLE TO SEE THE SERVICE THEY WANT, DEPARTMENT, AND CLICK ON IT OR AUTOMATICALLY TAKE IT THERE AND THEY CAN DO IT FROM WHATEVER DEVICE THEY HAVE HERE AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

WELL ACTUALLY MONTHS. WE'RE EXCITED TO GET THIS GOING, THIS MIRRORS AS CLOSELY AS WE POSSIBLY COULD OUR COUNTY WEBSITE. ONE OF THE THINGS WE LEARNED WHEN WE STARTED DEVELOPING THIS APPLICATION IS A NUMBER OF THINGS ON THE WEBSITE THAT NEEDED TO BE UPGRADED -- WE WENT THROUGH THAT AND THANK FOR HER HELP ON THAT.

AS I'VE SAID THIS IS A LIVING, BREATHING APPLICATION MODIFICATIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS -- I. WANT TO MENTION THE SHERIFF'S APPLICATION DEVELOPED BY THE SAME COMPANY.

MAKE SURE WE DID THAT SO THERE'S NO CONFLICT BETWEEN THE TWO.

BUT AS WITH THE SHERIFF'S APP, PEOPLE CAN GO IN AND AS THEY ACCESS THE APPLICATION ON THE PHONE THEY CAN SET UP TO RECEIVE NOTIFICATIONS QUICK IF WE WANT TO SEND OUT EMERGENCY NOTICE TO THE COMMUNITY, THE PEOPLE WHO'VE TAKEN THE ADVANTAGE OF DOING THAT WILL RECEIVE THE NOTICES JUST LIKE THEY DO -- VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS. WILL MAKE A PRESENTATION AND GET

IT GOING. >> I JUST WANTED TO ADD INTERNALLY FOR THE COUNTY DEVICES, WILL BE SENDING OUT THE APP AUTOMATICALLY TO EVERYBODY'S PHONE SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO INSTALL IT ON THEIR COUNTY APP PHONES.

WE'LL BE DOING THAT HERE SHORTLY.

THANK YOU. >> I THINK WE'RE READY TO GO TO
