1
00:03:00,820 --> 00:03:09,520
It is 902. Welcome to our April 27 meeting. And let the record reflect that all members of the court are present.

2
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:17,860
If you would please stand as Commissioner Payne pleases in our invocation and our pledges. Please, for every minute.

3
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,740
Father and Heaven, thank you for the many blessings you've been sending you to give us.

4
00:03:22,100 --> 00:03:25,540
Especially, thank you for our veterans who have fought and died for our freedoms.

5
00:03:25,540 --> 00:03:28,080
Because at the end we have the right to meet here today.

6
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:33,240
We ask you to protect our troops as they continue to protect our right nation.

7
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:38,860
If we meet here today, Lord, give us the courage and wisdom to make the right decisions for the people.

8
00:03:40,100 --> 00:03:44,480
Please remind us each and every day to treat others as we would like to be treated.

9
00:03:45,660 --> 00:03:48,720
Lord, please comfort and protect our county employees.

10
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,980
What we say is special blessing for those who have lost loved ones and friends.

11
00:03:52,980 --> 00:03:55,420
and to a part of the stronger, to help their workers.

12
00:03:55,860 --> 00:03:58,860
As they continue to make sacrifices each and every day.

13
00:03:59,380 --> 00:04:01,900
God bless our nation, our state, and we're counting.

14
00:04:02,700 --> 00:04:03,960
He bless me, we ask you, you're not.

15
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:05,500
Amen.

16
00:04:07,020 --> 00:04:11,440
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America,

17
00:04:12,060 --> 00:04:14,120
and to the Republic for which it stands,

18
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:20,020
one nation and another, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.

19
00:04:20,020 --> 00:04:28,040
On our Texas slide, I'd like to lead you to the Texas one state, under God, one end of

20
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:28,500
Israel.

21
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:35,680
All right.

22
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:42,580
That brings us to our first order of business, which is approval of our minutes from

23
00:04:42,580 --> 00:04:48,560
our regular meeting on April the 13th, if you all have had a chance to review the minutes.

24
00:04:49,100 --> 00:04:50,340
I'll accept the motion.

25
00:04:51,980 --> 00:04:52,600
Let's do a proof.

26
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:53,180
Second.

27
00:04:54,060 --> 00:04:58,520
Motion from Commissioner Cade, second from Commissioner Paine any discussion.

28
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:00,860
Hearing that all in favor say aye.

29
00:05:01,940 --> 00:05:02,300
Opposed.

30
00:05:02,380 --> 00:05:03,260
Motion carries.

31
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:04,220
Public appearances.

32
00:05:05,580 --> 00:05:08,920
To accommodate all members of the public and ensure full public input.

33
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:13,780
Members of the public may address the court concerning any items before the court prior

34
00:05:13,780 --> 00:05:18,760
to the court's consideration of the item and or any other matter of concern.

35
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:27,760
The member of the public may address the court for a total period of time, not to exceed

36
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:28,640
five minutes.

37
00:05:29,420 --> 00:05:32,800
A member of the public who addresses the court through a translator may address the court

38
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,260
for a total period of time, not to exceed 10 minutes.

39
00:05:35,940 --> 00:05:39,860
If a member of the public inquires about a subject, which there's not an item on the

40
00:05:39,860 --> 00:05:43,780
meeting agenda, or for which notice has not been given to text the government

41
00:05:43,780 --> 00:05:50,200
coach after 5-5-1, the court may furnish specific factual information or recid existing policy

42
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:55,700
in response to the inquiry. However, any deliberation or decision about the subject to the inquiry

43
00:05:55,700 --> 00:06:01,440
must be limited to a proposal to place that subject on the agenda for a subsequent meeting.

44
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:08,200
That was my five minutes. So we've got one person in sign-up, Pastor Joel McKinnon.

45
00:06:12,530 --> 00:06:13,050
Good

46
00:06:15,260 --> 00:06:16,840
morning, Judge, commissioners.

47
00:06:17,060 --> 00:06:19,300
Thank you for the opportunity to address the court this morning.

48
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:20,880
My name is Joel McKinnon.

49
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,720
I am the senior pastor of First United Methodist Church here in

50
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,480
England, Texas, and also the husband of one of the

51
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,660
Assistant County Engineers here in Missouri County.

52
00:06:30,500 --> 00:06:33,260
I come before you this morning to just take a few moments to

53
00:06:33,260 --> 00:06:39,140
offer a heartfelt thank you and some words of appreciation for a

54
00:06:39,820 --> 00:06:55,560
One on a personal note, on behalf of my family, I want to say thank you for the love, support and words of encouragement that you have shown our family over the past month, as our youngest child has been in the hospital and has had multiple surgeries.

55
00:06:56,100 --> 00:07:01,800
You support of Karen and in her work have been amazing and we are so grateful for the county of Presoria.

56
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:12,820
Thank you. On behalf of First United Methodist Church, we would like to say thank you for the beautiful county parking lot that lies between us and this courthouse.

57
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:20,740
We recognize as we've been in conversations with the city over the last month with some of the ideas they've have floated around

58
00:07:20,740 --> 00:07:30,340
of removing parking places along our Cola and in front of our campus that it would create quite a hardship up on the church and those we serve in this community.

59
00:07:30,340 --> 00:07:36,000
And the realization set quite quickly last week after we hosted a town hall that we've never

60
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:40,200
said thank you to the county for allowing us to park in this county parking lot.

61
00:07:40,900 --> 00:07:46,800
And we are quite appreciative because it serves a great purpose and we thank you for that.

62
00:07:47,140 --> 00:07:53,640
Third and finally for the support and willingness to work with us and providing a sidewalk

63
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:58,480
from the county parking lot to the edge of Magnolia Street, which will serve a great purpose

64
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:04,340
for those who are in wheelchairs and walkers trying to gain access to our campus and for those

65
00:08:04,340 --> 00:08:06,900
community members who need access to our food pantry.

66
00:08:07,660 --> 00:08:12,900
So I stand before you today to say thank you, you are doing an amazing job, our church praise

67
00:08:12,900 --> 00:08:17,800
for you weekly, and if there's ever a need that our church can fulfill in this county, call

68
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:19,260
us because we will be there.

69
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:20,160
Thank you, sir.

70
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:21,080
Thank you.

71
00:08:21,380 --> 00:08:21,480
Thank you.

72
00:08:27,900 --> 00:08:31,820
All right, that's not our normal citizens wishing to address, but thank you.

73
00:08:36,980 --> 00:08:39,640
That was a really good one.

74
00:08:41,980 --> 00:08:46,980
All right, that brings us to new business and our consent agenda.

75
00:08:47,740 --> 00:08:51,900
Is there any item that any member of the court would like to pull to discuss

76
00:08:51,900 --> 00:08:54,040
from the consent agenda?

77
00:08:57,880 --> 00:08:59,020
No, I'll entertain a motion.

78
00:08:59,180 --> 00:08:59,360
Awesome.

79
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:00,500
It looks up.

80
00:09:03,290 --> 00:09:07,430
Motion from Commissioner Lender, second from Commissioner Paine, any discussion.

81
00:09:08,730 --> 00:09:13,010
Hearing that all in favor say aye. Opposed, motion carries.

82
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,660
That brings us to our discussion agenda.

83
00:09:21,680 --> 00:09:32,160
Order number six, K1, the Court approved the agreement for additional law enforcement services between

84
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:38,260
Association, all costs associated with this contract will be born by Lakes of Savannah, further

85
00:09:38,260 --> 00:09:42,280
to the Court authorize this Constable James Browner and County Judge Matt Sebastian to

86
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:49,840
sign any documents to give this contract full effect. And I don't know if Constable Browner, you

87
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:56,900
want to say anything. I think you indicated this is just a renewal of an existing contract.

88
00:09:58,780 --> 00:10:03,960
Yes, we've been contract in Lexus, then and out for, I guess, close to four years.

89
00:10:05,020 --> 00:10:06,580
It's been a very successful contract.

90
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:08,900
We've done a lot in the community.

91
00:10:12,940 --> 00:10:15,860
It's been beneficial to them because crime rates have dropped.

92
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,140
It's helped to sheriff's office out because we answer alarms in there.

93
00:10:19,260 --> 00:10:25,640
We first respond to calls with the staffing that's on that northwest side of the 288 corridor.

94
00:10:27,140 --> 00:10:33,240
with them basically subsidizing and being 100% reimbursement contract, where they're paying

95
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:37,960
the county, 100% of the funds to put this deputy on the street, it's a no-brainer

96
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:44,700
that we continue to do it, and we provide the service to them because they're paying for

97
00:10:44,700 --> 00:10:52,220
the brun of it, and it's been really good, they enjoy it, and we've really had no complaints,

98
00:10:52,220 --> 00:10:57,540
This has been a good endeavor that we've ventured into a couple of years ago, and I appreciate

99
00:10:57,540 --> 00:11:01,020
you guys for staying in behind us and helping us get that out there for them.

100
00:11:05,420 --> 00:11:08,920
There's a lot of arguments whether that applies or not.

101
00:11:10,680 --> 00:11:10,920
All right.

102
00:11:10,980 --> 00:11:11,820
Thank you, Constable.

103
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:13,400
All right.

104
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:16,540
I'll entertain a motion from the court.

105
00:11:16,540 --> 00:11:22,600
Some more second. Motion from Commissioner Lender, second from Commissioner Kate, any discussion.

106
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:31,840

109
00:11:46,460 --> 00:11:50,820
The 5,000 registered voter limit is defined in that section of the code.

110
00:11:51,020 --> 00:11:55,800
These changes go into effect on January 1st, 2022.

131
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:58,220
and stay in compliance with Section 42.060 of the Texas election code.

132
00:14:58,640 --> 00:14:59,660
Do I have a motion?

133
00:15:01,620 --> 00:15:02,160
I

134
00:15:05,260 --> 00:15:08,660
have a second, and

135
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:19,280
there you are. Come on up, Lisa. You're going to be on a high seat.

136
00:15:43,470 --> 00:15:45,170
No, it's going to take effect.

137
00:15:45,330 --> 00:15:46,810
The new map will take effect.

138
00:15:48,170 --> 00:15:49,850
That's just what you gave you.

139
00:15:49,970 --> 00:15:51,370
I think it's pretty dark.

140
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,160
Well, I'm just okay.

141
00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,480
You're two because of the distance.

142
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,000
You can change it.

143
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:03,440
Possibility.

144
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:06,500
Now within the commissioner's mouth,

145
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,080
I believe they should stay in the commissioner's boundaries.

146
00:16:10,060 --> 00:16:11,740
The first thing itself, hopefully.

147
00:16:11,740 --> 00:16:20,800
we'll see how that goes. We don't know. We won't get our numbers till later in the year and then we'll go through redistricting like this year or early next year.

148
00:16:25,620 --> 00:16:35,760
Yes, we'll get two new congressional seats. We're just talking about that.

149
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:39,640
census numbers, are they reported them to Washington?

150
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,200
That normally happens on January 1.

151
00:16:44,540 --> 00:16:46,780
So there are only four months behind.

152
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:51,720
Usually the state is given those numbers April 1st.

153
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,100
And I think they will be giving the numbers

154
00:16:54,100 --> 00:16:59,040
to the state with the census blocks sometime in September.

155
00:17:00,340 --> 00:17:04,180
So that will be after the current legislative session.

156
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:10,600
So, there will be a special session that the governor will have to call for redistricting,

157
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:17,380
which normally, we would be filing those that are on the ballot next year would be filing

158
00:17:17,380 --> 00:17:21,100
for office mid-November through mid-December.

159
00:17:21,500 --> 00:17:28,100
That's going to push that into probably the first quarter of next year and normally, we would

160
00:17:28,100 --> 00:17:35,180
scheduled for a primary election marks the first of next year, and that's probably going

161
00:17:35,180 --> 00:17:40,020
to happen in light may or June because of the delay in the census numbers.

162
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:48,140
Unfortunately, I mean, we did this a couple of years ago here we are again doing it again

163
00:17:48,140 --> 00:17:48,760
because of the growth.

164
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:58,700
That gives us total of 70 precincts, 20 precincts.

165
00:17:59,120 --> 00:17:59,360
Seven.

166
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:03,940
There was one missing, which was 65, I added that back into calculations and now we're going

167
00:18:03,940 --> 00:18:04,920
have a total of seven,

168
00:18:10,070 --> 00:18:12,250
so how we will have 70 for the count.

169
00:18:16,580 --> 00:18:17,380
Any other questions?

170
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:20,680
We'll get that revised.

171
00:18:22,120 --> 00:18:23,000
Thank you, Lisa.

172
00:18:24,460 --> 00:18:27,920
And just while we're talking about voting precincts, I'll throw in my little

173
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:28,440
deal.

174
00:18:28,660 --> 00:18:30,600
Today is the last day to early vote.

175
00:18:30,940 --> 00:18:31,580

00:18:31,580 --> 00:18:33,060
to 7 p.m.

177
00:18:33,360 --> 00:18:36,680
Wherever you may live, get out and vote.

178
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:44,200
And election day is this Saturday in the municipal races 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and of course here in

179
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:53,720

180
00:18:53,720 --> 00:19:05,180
county so just though that will look commercial out there. Any other discussion here you know all

181
00:19:12,940 --> 00:19:16,590
before me on this day, I've heard the members of Missouri County Commissioner's

182
00:19:17,020 --> 00:19:18,600
report and that for me.

183
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,340
We're in a pound there, owes to here by state as follows, requirements of Section

184
00:19:22,340 --> 00:19:29,600

185
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:34,120

00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:39,380

187
00:19:39,380 --> 00:19:43,400

190
00:19:58,130 --> 00:20:00,790
It's four and before I'm need this, the 27th day of April 20th, no one.

191
00:20:01,630 --> 00:20:02,390
Thank you, Jamie.

192
00:20:05,270 --> 00:20:09,150
All right, so order six, you know, one is approve of the treasure's monthly report investment,

193
00:20:09,350 --> 00:20:11,970
report February 2021, this order and affidavit.

194
00:20:11,970 --> 00:20:14,210
It must be filed with the county clerk.

195
00:20:14,430 --> 00:20:16,730
It is further requested to serve by copy of this order.

196
00:20:16,930 --> 00:20:18,350
We return to the county treasurer.

197
00:20:18,590 --> 00:20:21,010
This report will be published on the county website.

198
00:20:21,450 --> 00:20:21,850
I have a motion.

199
00:20:22,090 --> 00:20:23,070
I'm a second.

200
00:20:24,310 --> 00:20:26,690
Motion from Commissioner Linder, second from Commissioner K.

201
00:20:26,830 --> 00:20:27,770
Any discussion?

202
00:20:28,770 --> 00:20:30,430
Here in Annette All and Favor say aye.

203
00:20:31,010 --> 00:20:32,430
Opposed, motion carries.

204
00:20:33,530 --> 00:20:34,670
Order six in one.

205
00:20:34,790 --> 00:20:35,810
Approved the Attach, Pres.

206
00:20:35,890 --> 00:20:40,450
county, emergency, rental assistance program, definitions, guidelines, policies and procedures.

207
00:20:40,450 --> 00:20:51,310
We're related to the Department of Treasury Grant Assistance, listing number CFDA 21.023 to have a motion.

208
00:20:51,610 --> 00:20:52,430
On that.

209
00:20:52,430 --> 00:20:52,830
Second.

210
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:59,020
Motion for Commissioner Payne, second for Commissioner Cade.

211
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:03,380
Casey, is this something we have to do to stay in compliance?

212
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,160
Okay. Any discussion?

213
00:21:06,940 --> 00:21:09,180
Here you are in all of the favor say aye.

214
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:11,980
Opposed motion carries.

215
00:21:13,140 --> 00:21:17,420
Order 6 into a point of appeals panel is stipulated in Resorty County Emergency

216
00:21:17,420 --> 00:21:22,920
Rental Assistance Program Policies and Procedures to review documentation waiver requests for

217
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,900
participation in the Emergency Rental Assistance Program.

218
00:21:26,360 --> 00:21:30,740
From the person's chum below their designated or other person's as determined by the court,

219
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:34,240
housing and urban development, department, designate,

220
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:44,770
The auditor's office design, car, rigs, and ingram LLC, third party contractor, designate, tell us about this.

221
00:21:45,490 --> 00:21:49,470
We have to put names on any of this or just leave it.

222
00:21:49,750 --> 00:21:56,750
It just can't be the people that review the initial documentation waiver request, which would probably be me and or Nancy.

223
00:21:57,430 --> 00:22:01,590
So that's why it says our office designate can be on the appeal.

224
00:22:02,190 --> 00:22:08,790
And we have people identified, but I didn't want to list their names just in case we need it.

225
00:22:08,790 --> 00:22:08,970
Okay.

226
00:22:10,410 --> 00:22:11,830
So we just leave it right there.

227
00:22:11,830 --> 00:22:13,150
I'll just leave it as a designated.

228
00:22:14,030 --> 00:22:14,590
All right.

229
00:22:16,090 --> 00:22:17,710
Any questions for Casey?

230
00:22:19,350 --> 00:22:20,090
All right.

231
00:22:20,870 --> 00:22:21,050
All right.

232
00:22:21,050 --> 00:22:21,890
I'll entertain a motion.

233
00:22:22,310 --> 00:22:22,790
Motion to approve.

234
00:22:25,250 --> 00:22:25,750
Motion to approve.

235
00:22:26,150 --> 00:22:26,350
Motion to approve.

236
00:22:26,350 --> 00:22:26,870
Motion to approve.

237
00:22:29,830 --> 00:22:31,250
Motion to approve.

238
00:22:31,250 --> 00:22:33,870
Aye. Aye. Opposed. Motion carries.

239
00:22:35,010 --> 00:22:39,150
6 and 3 fiscal year 2020 financial audit. Mr. Whitlow.

240
00:22:39,550 --> 00:22:40,230
Nice socks.

241
00:22:41,510 --> 00:22:42,090
Good morning.

242
00:22:46,980 --> 00:22:49,140
Wait, Whitlow, partner with came in L.

243
00:22:50,300 --> 00:22:56,220
We've completed the audit report as it's presented to y'all today.

244
00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:03,500
First thing I want to start off with is there was a transition at the county auditor position.

245
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:12,100
We came in in our interim field work when Connie was still in place and that ran smooth as always.

246
00:23:13,460 --> 00:23:16,780
In our interim field work, that's where we go all around the county.

247
00:23:17,220 --> 00:23:22,120
Talk to a lot of different people walk through transactions at various departments and all that went good.

248
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,960
There was nothing to report as it relates to that.

249
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:48,240
We came in for our year-end audit procedures, which typically occurred in January, and that's when Casey was in her role, and I will say that the auditor's office, and everyone else around the county that we interacted with, there was no, it was business as usual as it relates to us as the external auditors for the county.

250
00:23:49,020 --> 00:24:02,180
big kudos to the auditor's office and others around the county, with that transition, can be difficult when the auditor comes in through weeks after the previous county auditor retired.

251
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:08,020
So, very, you know, very positive things to say as it relates to that.

252
00:24:09,100 --> 00:24:17,840
In the audit report that you'll have in front of you, there's three letters within this audit report that were issuing.

253
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:21,880
The first letter is our opinion letter on the financial statements.

254
00:24:22,740 --> 00:24:32,980
That opinion letter we're issuing is an unmodified opinion that's a clean opinion that tells the readers of the financial statements that what they read after that opinion letters materially and factually correct.

255
00:24:33,740 --> 00:24:42,460
The second letter that we're reporting on near the back of the report is our report on internal control over financial reporting.

256
00:24:42,460 --> 00:24:46,760
Within this letter, this is a letter that we're required to issue.

257
00:24:47,500 --> 00:24:52,520
When we go out in our interim field work, we're gathering information that could affect

258
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:56,400
the audit procedures that we design when we come back in January.

259
00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:01,540
It's a base approach that we utilize to perform the audit.

260
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:08,160
We're not offering an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal controls in place for the county,

261
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:15,200
but what we do is if we identify any deficiencies in those internal controls, we would report

262
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:21,700
those within that letter, happy to report that we did not identify any deficiencies in internal

263
00:25:21,700 --> 00:25:28,180
control that rose to the level to be included within that letter. The third letter we're issuing

264
00:25:28,180 --> 00:25:36,520
is our opinion over compliance related to major federal and state programs. We identified three major

265
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:40,220
federal programs, the first being the Coronavirus Relief Fund.

266
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:44,400
The second is the Highway Planning and Construction Program.

267
00:25:45,020 --> 00:25:51,360
And then the third is one of the CDVG programs that Nancy's office handles.

268
00:25:52,620 --> 00:25:57,740
The one state program we identified was the juvenile justice probation funds.

269
00:25:59,260 --> 00:26:04,540
Within with those four programs identified, we issued an unmodified opinion, so that's a

270
00:26:04,540 --> 00:26:11,500
opinion on compliance. Also included within that letter is any internal control related

271
00:26:11,500 --> 00:26:17,540
item similar to the financial reporting that we identified in relation to those major programs.

272
00:26:17,820 --> 00:26:22,900
We did not identify any control issues over compliance as well, so that is a clean letter

273
00:26:22,900 --> 00:26:23,560
that we're issuing.

274
00:26:25,620 --> 00:26:29,980
The makeup of the report this year, there were no new accounting standards

275
00:26:29,980 --> 00:26:37,980
that were issued in the fiscal year under audit that would have any differing presentation

276
00:26:37,980 --> 00:26:44,780
or accounting in respect to the report that we issued last year.

277
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,960
So everything in this report is comparative from that stand.

278
00:26:51,540 --> 00:26:56,560
There's a wealth of information as you all know in here and a lot of that information

279
00:26:56,560 --> 00:27:03,920
is to achieve the certificate of achievement from the GFOA, which the county has done continually

280
00:27:05,060 --> 00:27:09,940
and received it last year and were confident that the county will receive that again this year.

281
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:18,380
Two things of note within this audit report is on Exitet 3, which is the Fund Financial

282
00:27:18,380 --> 00:27:24,220
Statements. The one thing I wanted to point out was the ending, audited, unassigned fund

283
00:27:24,220 --> 00:27:27,320
balance was approximately 110 million.

284
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:33,540
Now, that is the fund balance that the county has that's not restricted or committed

285
00:27:33,540 --> 00:27:34,940
for any purposes.

286
00:27:36,260 --> 00:27:41,620
Then the second item to point out now that the toll road authority, which we audit the

287
00:27:41,620 --> 00:27:47,260
toll road authority as well, the toll road authority's financial statements are included

288
00:27:47,260 --> 00:27:51,820
in this report as a discreetly presented component unit.

289
00:27:53,500 --> 00:28:00,340
The money that the county, and this is money that we have audited since the inception of the Tolera Authority,

290
00:28:01,420 --> 00:28:06,580
the related payable from the Tolera Authority to the county.

291
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:11,840
So it's listed as a receivable on the county's books as approximately 25.6 million.

292
00:28:13,140 --> 00:28:21,640
So, now that the toll roads operational, there will be, you know, there's a rubric within,

293
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:28,120
essentially within a potential reimbursement back to the county that will be followed,

294
00:28:29,120 --> 00:28:31,620
going forward now that the toll roads operational.

295
00:28:32,120 --> 00:28:34,600
In a case, you know, I've had discussions about that already.

296
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:43,020
So, with that being said, I'll wrap up my presentation and take any questions that you may have.

297
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:48,780
Just going to say, Wade and I and Commissioner Payne and Casey as members of the

298
00:28:48,780 --> 00:28:56,040
committee met, get rid of what they last week, but we met when over this, that it

299
00:28:56,040 --> 00:29:01,660
things out as well. So just to let you all know, the audit committee did fulfill their duties.

300
00:29:03,900 --> 00:29:04,720
Any questions for that?

301
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:05,120
Councillor.

302
00:29:07,770 --> 00:29:08,550
Thank you.

303
00:29:08,810 --> 00:29:08,830
Thank you.

304
00:29:12,630 --> 00:29:17,730
All right, with that being said, I'll entertain a motion to approve the audit.

305
00:29:18,190 --> 00:29:19,210
On the second.

306
00:29:19,870 --> 00:29:24,990
Ocean from Commissioner Plains second from Commissioner Kate any discussion.

307
00:29:25,970 --> 00:29:27,990
Here you know it all in favor say aye.

308
00:29:28,130 --> 00:29:28,810
Opposed?

309
00:29:28,810 --> 00:29:30,170
Motion carries.

310
00:29:31,890 --> 00:29:38,290
Order 601 approved the expenditure of $29,300 to Wiser Engineering Company Inc.

311
00:29:38,290 --> 00:29:41,370
for planning services for the courthouse expansion project.

312
00:29:41,890 --> 00:29:43,210
Where is the attach scope of work?

313
00:29:43,330 --> 00:29:46,770
Identifies the necessary tasks to perform planning services for improvements.

314

And for distribution to all parties involved, do I have a motion?

00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:11,820
Thank you. Motion from Commissioner Adam, second from Commissioner Plain, any discussion?

319
00:30:13,060 --> 00:30:14,580

00:39:46,620 --> 00:39:47,160
I'm sorry.

490
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:49,960
Dudes, chairs kind of got you blocked.

491
00:39:57,640 --> 00:39:58,100
Thank you, gentlemen.

492
00:39:58,340 --> 00:40:08,560
Just one update here on, we had our annual statewide adopted beach beach cleanup this last weekend.

493
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:10,720
And just some statistics from that.

494
00:40:10,820 --> 00:40:16,780
We actually, for our county alone, we had 233 volunteers, which does not include

495
00:40:17,620 --> 00:40:22,900
corporations that showed up, such as Chevron Phillips and BASF and Dow, those oftentimes

496
00:40:22,900 --> 00:40:24,600
go straight to their area of the beach.

497
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:25,760
So we don't have those recorded.

498
00:40:25,860 --> 00:40:28,260
Those are just the ones that we had sign up in advance.

499
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:32,720
So it was probably closer to 4,500 volunteers that we had.

500
00:40:33,340 --> 00:40:38,760
And the trash that was recorded just in a few hours that we had, just on Brzoria County

501
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:42,860
beaches, was 2,600 pounds of trash that was removed.

502
00:40:42,860 --> 00:40:47,540
It was more than that, again, that was just what was logged in from the groups that we signed up.

503
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:52,140
If you've been to the beach frequently, you understand where we are with that.

504
00:40:52,840 --> 00:41:00,940
We could have a beach crew every day, do a beach, adopt a beach, every weekend, and still not keep up with what washers are sure.

505
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:03,400
And what gets left behind from people who visit.

506
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:07,400
I know I make these comments every time it's a standing.

507
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:15,940
people can bring plastic bags full of all kinds of crap and they can't take their crap back with them.

508
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:19,020
They just leave it on the beach and it just...

509
00:41:19,020 --> 00:41:19,080
Right.

510
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:25,460
Now, our crews, our probationers that we use, we get it cleaned up once it gets dirty.

511
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:31,440
It's just the trying to prevent it from getting that as this kind of where we are, which is good.

512
00:41:31,860 --> 00:41:35,800
That's better than always running to catch up, but we have folks that are there.

513
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:38,060
We've made some changes in how we do that.

514
00:41:38,060 --> 00:41:42,880
Hopefully we won't be where we were last year, last year, if you were recall, with a visitation

515
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:49,300
that we had during the COVID height, we were at seven dumpsters, not the small dumpsters,

516
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:57,260
but the roll-off, large dumpsters, and we were emptying those twice a week full of trash

517
00:41:57,260 --> 00:41:57,920
that we would find.

518
00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:03,920
That's everything from tent poles to innumerable, unmentionable plastic.

519
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:13,680
Just some statewide statistics here, and this is then I'll be done, in the 34 years that the state of Texas, on all of our 330 plus coastline miles,

520
00:42:15,990 --> 00:42:33,630
there have been 11,057 miles of beach cleaned, 552,788 volunteers that have participated in adoptive beach, and 9,732 tons of trash that have been picked up.

521
00:42:33,630 --> 00:42:36,470
So this is something that the State has been doing for years.

522
00:42:36,570 --> 00:42:40,390
We've been participating in every single year that they've had it and a really good turn out

523
00:42:40,390 --> 00:42:43,210
again this year in spite of the weather that was threatening of rain.

524
00:42:43,670 --> 00:42:47,510
So appreciate everyone who showed up and thank you.

525
00:42:52,340 --> 00:42:53,640
Any other department heads

526
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:05,460
are going to be going into the executive session, protects his

527
00:43:05,460 --> 00:43:13,200
government code 551 sub-chapter D, and they'll be 551.071 potential litigation times

528
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:19,520
five five one dot oh seven two potential purchase of property and five five one dot oh

529
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:26,460
eight seven discussion of chapter 381 economic development agreements it is nine forty two

530
00:43:27,140 --> 00:43:30,300
and thank you all for being here y'all be safe

531
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:50,500
All right, it's 10.45. We are back from executive session. There is no action coming from executive session.

532
00:44:50,500 --> 00:44:53,040
and score to have anything else there.

533
00:44:53,180 --> 00:44:55,500
I'll have it from the courts in Fort Five, where it's here.
