Nov 08, 2022 Commissioners Court

OKAY. GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE.

[00:00:02]

COMMISSIONER ROLAND, WOULD YOU PLEASE LEAD US IN THE INVOCATION? YES, SIR. OUR FATHER, WHICH ART IN HEAVEN? THE FATHER OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOR.

JESUS CHRIST.

FATHER, THIS ONCE AGAIN, THAT THIS WEAKENED AND I WILL SERVE ON A STANDING HERE BEFORE THIS GROUP.

JUST TO SAY THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, LORD, FOR ALL THE MANY BLESSINGS THAT YOU BESTOWED UPON US ALL.

LORD, THANK YOU FOR GIVING US OUR SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST.

WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS.

YOU KNOW WHAT A FRIEND IT IS TO HAVE THAT WOULD GIVE HIS LIFE FOR YOU.

LORD, I KNOW THAT YOU'RE BOTH ALPHA AND OMEGA.

THE BEGINNING AND THE END.

SO IT'S IN. JESUS IS MIGHTY NAME THAT I PRAY.

AMEN.

. THE FLAG MOVED, IT THREW ME OFF AND TURNED OVER THERE AND THERE WAS NO FLAG.

SO LET'S SEE HERE.

DO WE HAVE ANNOUNCEMENTS THIS MORNING?

[Announcements.]

AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE THIS MORNING.

OKAY. COMMISSIONER THERIOT? NO ANNOUNCEMENTS. COMMISSIONER ROLAND? NO ANNOUNCEMENT. AND I'LL JUST ECHO WHAT COMMISSIONER WESTMORELAND SAID.

PLEASE GO VOTE. IF YOU HAVEN'T, IT'S YOUR CHANCE TO BE HEARD.

AND IT'S YOUR MOST IMPORTANT RIGHT AS A CITIZEN.

AND DO WE HAVE ANY CITIZENS COMMENTS THIS MORNING? NO. CITIZENS COMMENTS.

OKAY. WITH THAT, WE'LL MOVE TO CONSENT.

[CONSENT AGENDA]

DO WE HAVE A SECOND, SECOND MOTION AND A SECOND.

ANY DISCUSSION? HEARING NONE, ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.

AYE.

OPPOSED> HEARING NONE.

MOTION PASSES.

ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE A SPECIAL PRESENTATION THIS MORNING.

[SPECIAL PRESENTATION]

GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE. GOOD MORNING.

SO THIS IS AN ODYSSEY PRESENTATION THAT I'M GOING TO.

CAN YOU PULL YOUR MIKE UP JUST A LITTLE? THEY'RE NOT AWESOME, SO THEY'VE GOT TO BE RIGHT THERE WITH YOU.

CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW? THAT'S GREAT.

GREAT. SO THIS IS AN ODYSSEY PRESENTATION THAT I'M GOING TO GO THROUGH THE TITLE.

SO I'M ROLAND SEGURA.

I'M THE MANAGER OF THE ENTERPRISE JUSTICE ODYSSEY SYSTEM, ALONG WITH MY COLLEAGUES, BEN FIRTH, WHO ALSO MANAGES THE ENTERPRISE CORRECTIONS PROJECT.

AND WE HAVE JOANNA BAILEY, WHO MANAGES THE ENTERPRISE JURY MANAGER PROJECT.

THESE ARE PROJECTS THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE DELIVERING BY NEXT QUARTER 2023.

SO THESE ARE SLIDES THAT RELATE TO GOVERNANCE.

WE HAVEN'T REALLY GOT INTO THE DETAILS OF GOVERNANCE.

OUR GOAL IS TO TALK ABOUT GOVERNANCE AT THE NEXT COMMISSIONERS MEETING, FOLLOWING THE NEXT COMMISSIONERS MEETING.

WE'LL DISCUSS GOVERNANCE WITH THE CORE PROJECT TEAM HERE AT COVA, AS WELL AS SOME OF THE ELECTED OFFICIALS.

RIGHT. ESSENTIALLY, WHAT GOVERNANCE IS, IT'S A SET OF RULES, PROCEDURES AS WELL AS POLICIES THAT DETERMINES REALLY HOW PROJECTS ARE MANAGED AND REALLY HOW WE CAN MAKE DECISIONS. SO WE WANT TO BUILD AN ACCOUNTABILITY ACROSS THE CALDWELL PROJECT TEAMS AND WE WANT TO SET DIRECTIONS, MAKE BETTER DECISIONS AND GENERALLY PROVIDE OVERSIGHT.

SO THAT REALLY ENCAPSULATES WHAT GOVERNANCE IS ALL ABOUT.

THE ROLE. SO SUCCESSFUL GOVERNANCE REALLY INVOLVES, YOU KNOW, THE EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP TEAM.

THEY PROVIDE THE VISION FOR THE PROJECT AND THEY COMMUNICATE THAT VISION ACROSS THE PROJECT TEAMS RIGHT DOWN TO ALL THE DIFFERENT LEVELS OF THE ORGANIZATION.

AND THEN WE HAVE OUR STEERING COMMITTEE.

THEY MAKE THE PRACTICAL TRADEOFFS BETWEEN THE SCOPE, WHAT'S NEEDED IN THE SCOPE, AND THEY WORK TOGETHER WITH THE EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP TEAM TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE FOCUSED ON THAT VISION.

THEN WE HAVE OUR CLIENT PROJECT MANAGER AT COBO HERE WHO REALLY DRIVES THE PROJECT AND REALLY COMMUNICATES WITH THE OUTLINE.

AND AT THE BOTTOM LEVEL, WE HAVE THE SMBS WHO ARE REALLY THE SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS.

THEY KNOW THE INFORMATION AND THEY CONTROL ALL THE DETAILS OF THE PROJECT AND RUN THE PROJECT TOGETHER WITH THE I.T TEAM,

[00:05:06]

RIGHT HERE. WHAT YOU SEE ARE SOME OF OUR GUIDING PRINCIPLES AT TYLER.

WE BELIEVE THAT FOR FOR A TEAM TO BE SUCCESSFUL, THEY HAVE TO BE ANCHORED AND REALLY MOTIVATED BY THINGS THAT WE HOLD OUR EXPECTATIONS TO HOW WE WANT TO MOVE THE COURT FORWARD.

SO THESE ARE PRINCIPLES THAT WE'VE WORKED WITH OTHER COURTS, AND WE WILL BE ENCOURAGING COALVILLE THE TEAM TO ALSO COME UP WITH SOME OF THEIR PRINCIPLES.

SO WE'RE GOING TO GIVE A NEXT IN THE NEXT SLIDES.

WE'RE GOING TO GIVE A WIDE TITLE, WIDE STATUS AND THE STATUS, YOU KNOW, IT'S DENOTED BY COLOR CODED SCHEME.

GREEN MEANS EVERYTHING IS ON TRACK, YELLOW.

THERE'S SOME DECISIONS THAT WE NEED TO MAKE OR ESCALATE AND RED, YOU KNOW, WHERE WE NEED EXECUTIVE ASSISTANCE.

SO IN TERMS OF THE PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE IN OUR PORTFOLIO, THE ENTERPRISE JUSTICE, AS YOU CAN SEE, THE STATUS IS GREEN.

IT'S TRACKING THE PROGRESS.

WE'RE CURRENTLY WORKING WITH CONFIGURATION ITEMS AND WE'LL BE DOING SO FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS.

ALL RIGHT. THE ENTERPRISE CORRECTIONS IS A PROJECT THAT'S MANAGED BY BEN FIRTH FOR THE JAIL, AND THEY'RE CURRENTLY WORKING ALSO WITH CONFIGURATION FOR SOME OF THE JAIL DATA EXTRACTS THAT THEY HAVE IN PROGRESS.

AND THEN FINALLY, ENTERPRISE JURY MANAGER.

WE'RE GETTING READY TO GO LIVE INTO PRODUCTION NEXT MONTH BY THE END OF DECEMBER.

SO WE ARE TRACKING VERY WELL ON THAT PROJECT AS WELL.

SO ENTERPRISE JEWELRY MANAGER WILL FULLY GO LIVE IN JANUARY 2023 AND THEN BOTH JUSTICE ODYSSEY AS WELL AS CORRECTIONS WILL BE GOING LIVE. Q THREE 2023.

THIS REALLY, YOU KNOW, WE ARE SHARING THE COMMUNICATION CADENCE THAT WE HAVE.

WE HAVE WEEKLY MEETINGS AND THEN TODAY'S OUR FIRST GOVERNMENT MEETING HERE.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE MEETINGS EACH MONTH.

AND STARTING IN JANUARY, WE WILL GIVE AN EXECUTIVE UPDATE.

NOW, I'M JUST GOING TO GO INTO SOME OF THE DETAILS OF THE ENTERPRISE JUSTICE PROJECT, WHICH IS ODYSSEY.

WE'VE COMPLETED WHAT WE CALL THE BUSINESS PROCESS REVIEW.

THAT'S THE CURRENT FUTURE STATE ANALYSIS.

AND WE'VE ALSO RECENTLY DONE THE SUBJECT MATTER EXPERT TRAINING, AND NOW WE'RE WORKING WITH THE CONFIGURATIONS ACROSS THE PORTFOLIO.

SO WE JUST WANT TO REALLY COMMEND THE COALVILLE TEAM AND THE STAFF FOR DOING REALLY AN EXCELLENT JOB AND FOR REALLY COLLABORATING WITH US.

RISKS THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT WE WE FORESEE, WHICH IS NOT A RISK, BUT WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE COME TO KEY MILESTONE TASKS, WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE ENSURE GREATER PARTICIPATION FROM THE TEAMS. SO WE WANT TO BE COGNIZANT OF ANY WORKSHOPS THAT MAY HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE AND JUST MAKE SURE THAT WE MITIGATE AGAINST THOSE.

RIGHT? SO THIS REALLY OUTLINES THE DELIVERY THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE HAVING ON JULY THE 24TH.

Q THREE, 2023 AND WE'RE TRACKING TO THAT.

ALL RIGHT. AND HERE'S A 90 DAY OUTLOOK.

IT REALLY TELLS US WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS FOR NOVEMBER THIS MONTH, AS WELL AS DECEMBER.

WE'RE GOING TO BE HEAVILY INVOLVED IN CONFIGURATION WITH A SYSTEM.

WE'RE GOING TO BE WORKING CLOSELY WITH THE COALVILLE TEAM.

ALSO. ADDITIONALLY, THE COALVILLE TEAM ARE ALSO DOING SELF TRAINING.

THEY'RE LEARNING ABOUT ODYSSEY AND HOW TO GET THE BEST OUT OF THE SYSTEM.

AND THEN IN JANUARY, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE OUR FIRST DATA TEST.

WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO THERE IS BASICALLY LOOK HOW WE'VE CONFIGURED THE SYSTEM.

WE'RE GOING TO THROW IT BACK TO THE COBOL TEAM AND THEY'RE GOING TO TEST AND MAKE SURE EVERYTHING LOOKS GOOD.

IF THERE'S ANY ISSUES WE WANT TO TRY TO RESOLVE THOSE AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.

RIGHT? SO IT'S GOING TO BE A CADENCE OF DATA REVIEWS THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE.

THAT'S GOING TO BE TAKING PLACE AND WE'LL SHOW YOU THOSE IN THE NEXT SLIDE.

SO OVERALL, HEALTH OF THE PROJECT IS REALLY GOOD.

IT'S TRACKING GOOD ON THE SCOPE, THE SCHEDULE, THE BUDGET AS WELL AS THE QUALITY.

RIGHT. BUT WE YOU SEE THIS PROJECT TRIANGLE, WE CALL IT THE TRIPLE CONSTRAINT.

THAT'S THE SCOPE, TIME AND BUDGET.

THESE ARE ALL INTERDEPENDENT.

SO IF THE SCOPE CHANGES, THEN THIS COULD HAVE A MATERIAL IMPACT ON EITHER THE TIME OR THE BUDGET.

SO WE ALWAYS HAVE TO CONTINUALLY WORK WITH THE COBOL TEAM TO MONITOR THAT, RIGHT? SO THAT'S WHY YOU SEE THIS TRIANGLE.

YOU'LL BE SEEING THIS TRIANGLE CONSTANTLY IN TERMS OF WHERE WE ARE TODAY.

THIS YELLOW LINE HERE DEPICTS EVERYTHING THAT WE'VE DONE.

AS I MENTIONED, THE RECENT ACTIVITIES THAT WE'VE HAD ON THE CURRENT FUTURE STATE ANALYSIS FOR BOTH THE ODYSSEY PROJECT AS WELL AS THE JAIL PROJECT.

[00:10:03]

AND THEN AT THE BOTTOM LEVEL, THERE YOU SEE THESE WHAT WE CALL THE DATA REVIEWS, RIGHT? SO WE HAVE A CADENCE OF ABOUT FOUR DATA REVIEWS AND THEN WE GO INTO WHAT WE CALL MOCK TESTING.

THAT'S THE SOLUTION VALIDATION TESTING, WHERE WE TEST THE ENTIRE SYSTEM WITH ALL OUR PARTNERS AND VENDORS.

ALTOGETHER, RIGHT? WE WANT TO DO A COMPLETE AND COMPREHENSIVE TESTING.

ONCE WE'VE DONE THAT TESTING, THEN WE'RE READY TO TRAIN THE USERS, THE CORVIL USERS, AND THEN FOLLOWING THAT, SOON AFTER, WE'RE READY TO GO LIVE.

SO THESE ARE SOME OF THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS THAT WE HAVE IN THE PROJECT ITSELF THAT WE'VE THAT WE'VE COMPLETED, WE'VE DONE THE KICKOFF, WE'VE DONE CFSAC, THE CURRENT STATE ANALYSIS.

WE'RE GOING THROUGH THE TYLER TRAINING PROGRAM AND WE'VE COMPLETED THE TRAINING FOR THE SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS.

ALL RIGHT. THE NEXT STATUS IS FOR THE ENTERPRISE CORRECTION.

THEY'VE ALSO COMPLETED THEIR CURRENT FUTURE STATE ANALYSIS AND THEY'VE DONE A READOUT OF THAT.

AND THEY'RE WORKING WITH CONFIGURATION.

THEY'VE COMPLETED MOST OF THE CONFIGURATION, BUT THERE'S ALWAYS SOME ITEMS THAT ALWAYS REMAIN.

SO WE WORK DILIGENTLY ON COMPLETING THAT.

AND THEN THIS MONTH THEY'RE WORKING ON SOME OF THE GEL DATA EXTRACTS.

AGAIN, OVERALL HEALTH FOR THE ENTERPRISE CORRECTIONS LOOKS GOOD.

THEY'RE LOOKING GREEN THERE AND IT'S CONSTANT MONITORING ON THIS AS WELL.

SO THESE ARE SOME OF THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS THAT THE CORRECTIONS TEAM HAVE DONE, SIMILAR TO THE ODYSSEY JUSTICE PROJECT.

THEY'VE DONE THE KICK OFF THE FUTURE STATE ANALYSIS CONFIGURATION AND THEN THE CODE MAPPING AS WELL.

ALL RIGHT. SO RISKS NOTHING MAJOR HERE.

WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE TRACK STAFFING LEVELS, THAT THE STAFF ARE AVAILABLE.

RIGHT. AND THE 90 DAY LOOK AHEAD FOR ENTERPRISE CORRECTIONS.

NOVEMBER IS READY TO GET INVOLVED WITH THE JAIL DATA EXTRACTS.

AND THEN IN JANUARY, THEY'RE GOING TO ENGAGE THE SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS IN THE TRAINING WORKSHOP, AND THEY TOO WILL BE HAVING THEIR INTERNAL DATA REVIEW WHERE THEY'LL BE TESTING, AND THEN THEY'LL FOLLOW UP WITH ANY INFORMATION THAT THEY NEED.

ALL RIGHT. THE NEXT PROJECT, THE FINAL ONE, IS THE JURY MANAGER PROJECT STATUS.

SO THEY FULLY COMPLETED THEIR USER TRAINING.

THEY'VE ALSO DONE TEST OF THEIR SYSTEM CONFIGURATION, AND THEY'LL BE DOING A FIRST POLL BY DECEMBER, EARLY DECEMBER.

AND THEN JURORS WILL BE REPORTING IN JANUARY FOR THEIR FIRST REPORTING DATE.

AGAIN, JURY MANAGER.

OVERALL HEALTH IS LOOKING GOOD ON ALL FRONTS THERE.

AND THEY YOU KNOW, THEY'RE REALLY GETTING READY FOR THE GO LIFE THAT'S GOING TO BE TAKING PLACE NEXT IN JANUARY, NEXT MONTH.

NO, NO SIGNIFICANT ISSUES.

JUST A WARNING HERE THAT THEY JUST NEED TO GET LISTS THAT THEY NEED FROM THE SECRETARY OF STATE BY THE FIRST WEEK OF THIS MONTH.

ALL RIGHT, 90 DAY LOOK AHEAD.

JUST KEEP ON WORKING WITH THE LOADING, THE PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT AND JUST MAKE SURE THAT THAT LOOKS GOOD WITH THE COPIES THAT THEY NEED.

AND ALSO GET READY FOR THAT FIRST REPORTING DATE OF THEIR NEWLY CREATED POLL IN JANUARY.

ALL RIGHT. SO THAT REALLY SUMS UP THE PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE.

DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? NO, SIR. OTHER THAN ON THE JAIL STAFF.

WE'LL WE'LL SEE WHAT WE CAN DO TO TRY TO MAKE IT WHERE THEY CAN BE A LITTLE MORE PRESENT.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YES.

MEASURES. IT, OK.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THAT WAS THAT WAS THOROUGH AND INFORMATIVE.

APPRECIATE IT. WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND MOVE TO ITEM 12 RIGHT NOW FOR BOURBON PICKER.

[12. Discussion/Action regarding the Burn Ban.]

JUST GIVE YOU A QUICK FIRE UPDATE.

WE'VE HAD A FEW FIRES OUT IN THE COUNTY, BUT MOST OF THOSE WERE DUE TO ILLEGAL BURNING OF CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS, WHICH WE GOT OUR ENVIRONMENTAL DEPARTMENT INVOLVED IN.

THEY'RE FILING CASES ON THAT NOW.

WE'VE HAD SUBSTANTIAL RAIN THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY.

I'M A TOTAL INCHES AT MY HOUSE, THREE INCHES WITHIN THREE WEEKS.

[00:15:01]

HOPEFULLY WE'LL GET SOME MORE.

RIGHT NOW, THE MINIMUM IS 350, THE MAX IS 620.

THE AVERAGE IS 550 WITH A CHANGE OF FOUR.

THE HAINES INDEX IS AT FOUR.

I MAKE A RECOMMENDATION THAT WE KEEP THE BURN BAN OFF UNLESS THINGS GET BAD.

I'LL MAKE THE MOTION TO KEEP THE BURN BAN.

OK. WE HAVE A MOTION TO KEEP THE BURN BAN AFTER WE HAVE A SECOND.

SECOND, WE HAVE A MOTION.

A SECOND. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? NOT ALL IN FAVOR. SAY I OPPOSE HEARING NONE.

MOTION CARRIES. THANK YOU.

[13. Discussion/Action to consider the approval of Resolution 1-2023, for Caldwell County Appraisal Roll with tax amounts entered by the assessor due totaling $4,299.43 for the Farm to Market Road 2022 Tax Roll.]

ANY QUESTIONS? RESOLUTION. NO.

HERE I GO.

COMMISSIONER, BOTH THOSE GENTLEMEN HAVE BEEN ON THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE AND ARE DOING A REALLY GOOD JOB FOR US.

[00:20:07]

WILL CONNELLY AND COMMISSIONER TERRIO TO 2023 CAMPO TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE.

I'LL BE GLAD TO MAKE THAT MOTION.

WE HAVE A MOTION. DO WE HAVE A SECOND? I'LL BE GLAD TO SECOND.

WE HAVE A MOTION. A SECOND.

ALL IN FAVOR. SAY I OPPOSE.

NONE CARRIES ITEM 16.

[16. Discussion/Action to consider the approval to authorize the County Judge to enter into lease negotiations with Aqua Water Supply Corporation for office space located at 2990 FM 1185, Lockhart, TX.]

COMMISSIONERS, WE.

WE HAVE RECEIVED A LEASE AGREEMENT FROM THEM FOR AND IT IS VERY GENEROUS.

THEY REALLY JUST WANT THE BUILDING TO BE OCCUPIED IS ACTUALLY OUT IN LINTON SPRINGS.

IF WE DO THIS WE WOULD MOVE.

CONSTABLE PRECINCT FOUR, JP PRECINCT FOUR, AND AN ESSO SATELLITE OFFICE TO THAT LOCATION.

THEY ARE GOING TO ALLOW US TO ENTER INTO A LEASE AGREEMENT FOR $10 A MONTH.

SO IT'S IT'S CAN'T FIND MUCH BETTER DEAL THAN THAT.

WE WENT AND MET WITH ALL THE, ALL THE PEOPLE WHO HAD HOUSED THERE AND THE MAINTENANCE GROUP TO LOOK AND MAKE SURE IT HAD IT AND ALL THE THINGS THAT WE WOULD NEED FOR THE OFFICE TO OPERATE.

AND IT'S GOING TO REQUIRE VERY MINIMAL REMODELING TO OR TO ACCOMMODATE WHAT WE NEEDED TO ACCOMMODATE.

AND SO WE I'M JUST ASKING FOR AN OPPORTUNITY TO ENTER INTO A NEGOTIATION WITH THEM.

THEY HAD ONE CLAUSE IN THERE THAT SAID WE COULDN'T ADD WALLS OR TAKE WALLS DOWN, BUT THEY'VE AGREED TO ALLOW US TO DO THAT, TO TO MAKE IT WORK FOR OUR PURPOSES.

AND THESE FOLKS ARE ALL HOUSED OVER IT ON MAIN STREET NOW.

YES. AND SO IT HAVE A BENEFIT OF FOR ALMOST FREE FREEING UP SOME OFFICE SPACE, WHICH WE DESPERATELY, DESPERATELY TO ME, WE'RE PILED ON TOP OF EACH OTHER RIGHT NOW. OKAY, SO WITH ALL THAT SAID, WE GET A MOTION IN A SECOND AND THEN IF WE HAVE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION, WE CAN DO IT. ALSO MOVE.

IS THAT A MOTION TO APPROVE? YES, WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE.

ITEM 16. WE HAVE A SECOND NOW SECONDED.

WE HAVE A MOTION. A SECOND.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? IF NOT ALL IN FAVOR, SAY I.

I OPPOSE HEARING NONE.

MOTION CARRIES.

TIME, IS IT? TRY AND KEEP AN EYE ON THE CLOCK HERE.

ITEM 17.

I KNOW IT'S MISSING BACK THERE AND IT'S IT'S THROWING ME OFF.

[17. Discussion/Action to consider the approval on implementing an inspection fee for mass gathering permits as permitted under Texas Health and Safety Code 751.013.]

751.013. ASKED OUR COUNCIL TO LOOK INTO THAT AND WE CAN DO IT.

WE CAN CHARGE A FEE FOR THE REVIEW PROCESS THAT WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH FOR THESE, AND IT'S FAIRLY SIGNIFICANT THAT OUR EMS GUYS GOT TO GO THROUGH IT.

HEALTH AND SAFETY HAS GOT TO GO THROUGH IT AND SO GOES THROUGH IT FOR SECURITY CONSTABLES GO THROUGH IT FOR SECURITY.

SO THERE'S A LOT OF MAN HOURS INVOLVED WITH APPROVING ONE OF THESE.

SO WE'RE LOOKING TO TALK ABOUT WHAT OUR FEE COULD BE.

AND I THINK IT RANGES FROM.

WE FOUND SURROUNDING COUNTIES ANYWHERE FROM $100 TO LIKE $400.

IS THAT CORRECT? AMANDA? YES, SIR. SO WE WOULD NEED IF WE WANT TO DO THIS, WE'D NEED A MOTION TO APPROVE IMPLEMENTING AN INSPECTION FEE FOR MASS GATHERING PERMITS AND AND AN AMOUNT.

DO YOU HAVE A RECOMMENDATION? I WOULD RECOMMEND THE 400 BECAUSE THE MANPOWER THAT'S INVOLVED, I MEAN, WE WE EASILY GO OVER THAT EVERY TIME WE REVIEW ONE OF THESE THINGS.

AND THERE SEEMS TO BE MORE AND MORE OF THEM COMING DOWN THE PIPE AND OUR SURROUNDING COUNTIES DO IT.

SO I THINK WE SHOULD ALSO DO IT.

I THINK THAT NUMBERS APPROPRIATE FOR WHAT? SIZE OF THESE EVENTS TYPICALLY ARE.

AND AND THAT'S MORE THAN JUSTIFIABLE IN MY OPINION, FOR THAT AMOUNT.

YEAH. FOR I MEAN, JUST TO PUT IT IN PERSPECTIVE, FOR THE LAST EVENT WE HAD SO.

AND CONSTABLES OUT THERE DIRECTING TRAFFIC ALL DAY.

YEAH. SO THAT COST US WAY MORE THAN $400.

SO I THINK JUST THE FEE TO COVER THE EXPENSE OF JUST GOING THROUGH THESE THINGS AND THE PREMIUM IS APPROPRIATE.

SO IS THAT A MOTION TO APPROVE $400 FEE THAT IS FOR MASS GATHERING PERMITS? OKAY, WE HAVE A MOTION.

DO WE HAVE A SECOND NOW? SECOND, WE HAVE A MOTION.

A SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR.

SAY I. I OPPOSED HEARING NONE.

MOTION CARRIES.

[00:25:02]

[18. Discussion/Action to consider the approval of Budget Amendment # 1 to transfer money from 001 -6510-4860 Contingency to Elections 001-6550-4810 to increase training line item.]

TO INCREASE TRAINING LINE ITEM.

THERE WAS ZERO AMOUNT PUT IN FOR TRAINING AND WE QUESTIONED THAT AT THE BEGINNING OF THE BUDGET CYCLE AND WE WERE ASSURED THAT THAT WAS FINE.

AND, AND AS IT TURNS OUT, THAT IS NOT FINE.

SO WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO MOVE SOME MONEY INTO THAT LINE ITEM.

WE HAVE A MOTION.

I ALSO MOVE TO APPROVE ITEM 18.

WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM 18.

DO WE HAVE A SECOND? SECOND, WE HAVE A MOTION.

A SECOND. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? NOT ALL IN FAVOR. SAY I OPPOSE HEARING NONE.

MOTION CARRIES ITEM 19 DISCUSSION ACTION TO CONSIDER THE APPROVAL OF BUDGET AMENDMENT TO TRANSFER MONEY FROM

[19. Discussion/Action to consider the approval of Budget Amendment #2 to transfer money from 001-6510-4825 Tax Abatement to 001 -6510-4845 Insurance to pay invoice coverage.]

ISSUANCE TO PAY INVOICE COVERAGE.

DANNY. YES.

SO THERE ARE TWO INSURANCE LIABILITY INVOICES THAT COME IN AND UNFORTUNATELY ONE OF THEM IS AT A VERY ODD TIME AND IT'S FROM JULY TO JULY.

AND SO THAT KIND OF HIT.

WE WEREN'T EXPECTING THAT WITHIN THE BUDGET, SO WE'LL DEFINITELY PLAN BETTER NEXT YEAR.

AND SO WE JUST GOT TO MOVE THAT 10,000 TO COVER THAT THIS YEAR.

WE'VE ALREADY PAID THE LARGE ONE.

COMMISSIONERS, WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE BUDGET AMENDMENT TWO.

WE HAVE A MOTION. DO WE HAVE A SECOND? SECOND, WE HAVE A MOTION, A SECOND AND DISCUSSION.

NOT ALL IN FAVOR SAY I OPPOSED HEARING NONE.

MOTION CARRIES ITEM 20.

[20. Discussion/Action to consider the approval of REQ02027 and payment of invoice #36281 in the amount of $111,524.00 for Texas Association of Counties Risk Management Pool Property Coverage. ]

CAROLYN YES, JUDGE THIS IS TO PAY THE INVOICE FOR OUR PROPERTY COVERAGE AND IT JUST FOLLOWS THE BUDGET AMENDMENT THAT WE JUST APPROVED.

SO SINCE THE PURCHASE ORDERS OVER THE 50,000 I WANTED TO BRING UP BEFORE YOU ALL FOR APPROVAL.

OKAY. THANK YOU, COMMISSIONERS.

DO WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE REQUISITION? EXCUSE ME. 02027.

SO MOVE. WE HAVE A MOTION.

DO WE HAVE A SECOND? SECOND? WE HAVE A MOTION.

A SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR.

SAY, I OPPOSE HEARING NONE.

MOTION CARRIES ITEM 21.

[21. Discussion/Action to discuss the non-compliant credit card charges from the Tax Assessor's Office. ]

CREDIT CARDS, CHARGES FROM THE TAX ASSESSOR'S OFFICE.

CAROLYN SO AS WE'VE STATED BEFORE, CHASE AND I ARE WORKING ON UPDATING THE COUNTY'S CREDIT CARD POLICY.

AS OF RIGHT NOW, IT'S NOT SO MUCH A POLICY AS A GUIDELINE.

IT'S ONLY ONE PAGE LONG.

THE ISSUE THAT I'M HAVING IN THE PURCHASING DEPARTMENT IS PEOPLE ARE SIGNING OUT THE CREDIT CARD, BRINGING IT BACK, BUT IT IS TAKING SEVERAL WEEKS FOR US TO GET SIGNED.

CODED INVOICES TO COVER THE CHARGES THAT ARE BEING MADE.

SO I DID WANT TO BRING THIS BEFORE COURT BECAUSE I.

MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO REACH OUT TO THE TAX ASSESSOR'S OFFICE TO GET SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION FOR SOME TRAINING CLASSES THAT WERE PAID FOR USING THE CREDIT CARD. AND IT UNFORTUNATELY DID REQUIRE ME BRINGING THIS TO COURT FOR ME TO GET THAT SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION.

OKAY. I DON'T KNOW THAT WE HAVE ANY ACTION TO TAKE ON THIS OTHER THAN TO BE AWARE OF IT, BUT WE WILL HAVE A CONVERSATION AND TRY TO MAKE THAT BETTER FOR YOU.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

TIME IS IT 29? THINK WE'RE GOING TO SKIP 22 BECAUSE THAT ONE'S GOING TO TAKE A MINUTE.

SO IT'S 23.

I THINK WE WILL JUST WAIT FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS AND THEN GO AHEAD AND OPEN OUR PUBLIC HEARINGS.

[PUBLIC HEARING]

[00:30:03]

SECTION FIVE LOT 20 PROPERTY ID 12699-120222.

LOCATED ON WILD PLUM ROAD.

AND WE'LL LEAVE THAT OPEN FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES IN CASE ANYONE WANTS TO COME AND DISCUSS THAT.

WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND CLOSE EXECUTIVE SESSION FOR THE REPLANT OF WILD PLUM ESTATES.

LOT THREE AND FOUR PROPERTY ID 121662-121663 LOCATED ON WILD PLUM ROAD AT 934 AND MOVED TO ITEM TEN DISCUSSION ACTION TO CONSIDER THE APPROVAL OF THE RE PLAT FOR AUSTIN SKYLINE SUBDIVISION.

[10. Discussion/Action to consider the approval of the Replat for Austin Skyline Subdivision of Section 5, Replat of Lot 20 in Black B located at Skyline Road and Prairie Hill Dr.]

CASEY, GOOD MORNING.

AND THIS IS A ACTUALLY A SPLIT OF LAND THAT'S OCCURRING INSIDE OF AN EXISTING SUBDIVISION.

THAT'S WHY WE'RE DOING A RE PLAT.

THEY'RE TAKING 4.33 ACRES AND SPLITTING IT INTO FOUR TRACKS A LITTLE BIT OVER AN ACRE EACH.

AT THIS TIME YOU'LL SEE THAT WE RECEIVED A LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION FROM FROM DOUCETTE AND ASSOCIATES, FROM MISS KIMBERLY.

AND AT THIS TIME I'M JUST LOOKING FOR APPROVAL FOR THE PLAT.

OKAY, COMMISSIONERS, DO WE HAVE A MOTION TO CONSIDER APPROVAL FOR THE RE PART OF AUSTIN SKYLINE SUBDIVISION SECTION FIVE?

[00:35:06]

ANY DISCUSSION? NOT ALL IN FAVOR.

SAY I. I OPPOSED HEARING NONE.

MOTION CARRIES ITEM 11.

[11. Discussion/Action to consider the approval of the Replat for Wild Plum Estates located at Wild Plum Road and Old Colony Line Road.]

CASEY OKAY, WE'RE TAKING A 22.014 ACRE TRACT, SPLITTING IT INTO TWO.

MISS KIMBERLY INCLUDED A LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION.

ALL FEES ARE COLLECTED AND ALL OF THE ATTACHMENTS ARE HERE JUST LOOKING FOR APPROVAL.

OKAY, COMMISSIONERS, DO WE HAVE A MOTION FOR APPROVAL OF RE PLAT FOR WILD PLUM ESTATES? SO MOVE. WE HAVE A MOTION.

DO WE HAVE A SECOND MOTION? A SECOND? ANY DISCUSSION? NOT ALL IN FAVOR. SAY I OPPOSED HEARING THAT MOTION CARRIES.

THANKS, CASEY. SEE, I THINK WE ARE ON ITEM 22 DISCUSSION ACTION THAT

[22. Discussion/Action to consider the approval to accept a $17,000.00 Proposal from Cobb, Fendley & Associates, Inc., for professional engineering services related to GIS Review and Map Creation related to Broadband Accessibility as well as Creation and Maintenance of Speed Test and Survey. ]

THIS IS I'VE BEEN SPEAKING WITH THEM AND WANTED TO BRING THIS TO COURT.

THIS THIS PROPOSAL, IF YOU'VE LOOKED AT IT, IS IS VERY FLESHED OUT AND IT'S A LOT MORE COMPREHENSIVE THAN ANYTHING WE'VE DONE IN THE PAST.

AND IT WAS MUCH LESS EXPENSIVE THAN ANYTHING WE'VE DONE IN THE PAST TO HAVE THESE SERVICES DONE.

THE PURPOSE IS FOR THE PURPOSE FOR THIS SERVICE IS TO GET THIS MAP SO THAT WE KNOW WHAT OUR USAGE RATES ARE WHERE, BECAUSE IF YOU LOOK AT AN FCC MAP, IT SAYS THAT EVERY BODY AND CALDWELL COUNTY HAS BROADBAND AND NOTHING COULD BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH IF YOU LIVE IN THE COUNTRY, YOU KNOW THAT.

SO IN BROADBAND IS DEFINED BY FCC AS 25 DOWN, THREE UP, WHICH IS SLOW.

AND WE HAVE PLACES IN THE COUNTY WHERE IT'S NOT EVEN THAT GOOD.

I LIVE AT ONE OF THEM.

AND SO WE NEED TO GET THIS MAP SO THAT WE HAVE ACCURATE DATA TELLING US TRULY WHAT OUR WHAT OUR USAGE ABILITIES ARE AND WHAT PARTS OF THE COUNTY IN ORDER FOR US TO BE ABLE TO MAKE A PLAN TO TO EXECUTE A RURAL BROADBAND NETWORK THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY SO THAT THE GOAL IS FOR EVERYBODY TO HAVE AT LEAST 100 DOWN AND 25 UP.

IN ORDER TO DO THAT, WE HAVE TO FIND A MIDDLE MILE PROVIDER FOR THE FIBER, WHICH THERE ARE COUPLE THAT WE KNOW AND THEN CREATE AN RFP TO GO OUT SO THAT WE CAN GET INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDERS TO NOT ONLY GIVE US FIBER WHERE IT'S AVAILABLE, BUT WIRELESS BROADBAND THAT GOES BACK TO THE FIBER.

AND SO THAT'S GOING TO BE QUITE A TASK.

BUT IN ORDER TO DO THAT, WE HAVE TO CREATE A ROAD MAP SO THAT WE HAVE A PLACE TO START.

SO THAT'S THE PURPOSE OF THIS PROPOSAL THAT THEY'VE GIVEN US.

AND I'VE SPOKEN TO SEVERAL OTHERS, AND THIS WAS BY FAR THE BEST PROPOSAL THAT I SAW, AND THE PRICE WAS VERY GOOD.

YEAH, THAT SEEMS TO BE THE ONE THING THAT THIS THIS PRICE SEEMS TO BE MORE OF MORE AGREEABLE.

YEAH. FOR WHAT'S BEING PROVIDED.

IT'S MUCH LESS THAN WHAT WE PAID FOR IN THE PAST AND IT'S MUCH MORE THOROUGH AND IT WILL GIVE US A PLACE SO THAT WHEN WE AND THEY WILL HELP US CREATE OUR RFP SO THAT WHEN WE GO OUT TO INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDERS, ONCE WE'VE IDENTIFIED OUR MIDDLE MILE PROVIDER SO THAT WE CAN TELL THEM WHAT OUR WHAT OUR SHORTCOMINGS ARE IN THE COUNTY AND WHAT WE EXPECT THEM TO PROVIDE.

BECAUSE RIGHT NOW IT'S IT'S JUST IT'S A MONEY DRIVEN INDUSTRY, JUST LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE.

AND IF YOU'VE GOT 15 PEOPLE LIVING IN A QUADRANT OF THE COUNTY, THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE REAL ENTHUSED ABOUT DOING THAT.

THIS WILL EVENTUALLY BE PAID FOR EITHER WITH ARPA MONEY OR MORE LIKELY WITH THE INFRASTRUCTURE FUND MONEY ONCE THAT BECOMES AVAILABLE.

AND THIS WILL ALSO HELP DENNIS AND I AND STAFF GO AFTER AN APPROPRIATE AMOUNT FOR THAT BECAUSE WE'LL KNOW WHAT IT'S GOING TO COST TO BUILD THIS NETWORK BY THE TIME THAT COMES OUT.

AND SO WHEN WE SUBMIT OUR APPLICATION, I'M HOPEFUL THAT WE'LL BE WAY AHEAD OF OTHER COUNTIES AND HAVE A PLAN READY TO GO OUT OF THE BOX AND SAY, THIS

[00:40:06]

OKAY. THAT'S A LOT OF DISCUSSION WITHOUT EMOTION IN A SECOND.
