[3:00] It is 902. Welcome to our April 27 meeting. And let the record reflect that all members of the court are present.

[3:09] If you would please stand as Commissioner Payne pleases in our invocation and our pledges. Please, for every minute.

[3:18] Father and Heaven, thank you for the many blessings you've been sending you to give us.

[3:22] Especially, thank you for our veterans who have fought and died for our freedoms.

[3:25] Because at the end we have the right to meet here today.

[3:29] We ask you to protect our troops as they continue to protect our right nation.

[3:33] If we meet here today, Lord, give us the courage and wisdom to make the right decisions for the people.

[3:40] Please remind us each and every day to treat others as we would like to be treated.

[3:45] Lord, please comfort and protect our county employees.

[3:49] What we say is special blessing for those who have lost loved ones and friends.

[3:52] and to a part of the stronger, to help their workers.

[3:55] As they continue to make sacrifices each and every day.

[3:59] God bless our nation, our state, and we're counting.

[4:02] He bless me, we ask you, you're not.

[4:05] Amen.

[4:07] I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America,

[4:12] and to the Republic for which it stands,

[4:14] one nation and another, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.

[4:20] On our Texas slide, I'd like to lead you to the Texas one state, under God, one end of

[4:28] Israel.

[4:35] All right.

[4:35] That brings us to our first order of business, which is approval of our minutes from

[4:42] our regular meeting on April the 13th, if you all have had a chance to review the minutes.

[4:49] I'll accept the motion.

[4:51] Let's do a proof.

[4:53] Second.

[4:54] Motion from Commissioner Cade, second from Commissioner Paine any discussion.

[4:59] Hearing that all in favor say aye.

[5:01] Opposed.

[5:02] Motion carries.

[5:03] Public appearances.

[5:05] To accommodate all members of the public and ensure full public input.

[5:09] Members of the public may address the court concerning any items before the court prior

[5:13] to the court's consideration of the item and or any other matter of concern.

[5:23] The member of the public may address the court for a total period of time, not to exceed

[5:27] five minutes.

[5:29] A member of the public who addresses the court through a translator may address the court

[5:32] for a total period of time, not to exceed 10 minutes.

[5:35] If a member of the public inquires about a subject, which there's not an item on the

[5:39] meeting agenda, or for which notice has not been given to text the government

[5:43] coach after 5-5-1, the court may furnish specific factual information or recid existing policy

[5:50] in response to the inquiry. However, any deliberation or decision about the subject to the inquiry

[5:55] must be limited to a proposal to place that subject on the agenda for a subsequent meeting.

[6:02] That was my five minutes. So we've got one person in sign-up, Pastor Joel McKinnon.

[6:12] Good

[6:15] morning, Judge, commissioners.

[6:17] Thank you for the opportunity to address the court this morning.

[6:19] My name is Joel McKinnon.

[6:20] I am the senior pastor of First United Methodist Church here in

[6:24] England, Texas, and also the husband of one of the

[6:27] Assistant County Engineers here in Missouri County.

[6:30] I come before you this morning to just take a few moments to

[6:33] offer a heartfelt thank you and some words of appreciation for a

[6:39] 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.

[6:56] You support of Karen and in her work have been amazing and we are so grateful for the county of Presoria.

[7:01] 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.

[7:14] 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

[7:20] 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.

[7:30] And the realization set quite quickly last week after we hosted a town hall that we've never

[7:36] said thank you to the county for allowing us to park in this county parking lot.

[7:40] And we are quite appreciative because it serves a great purpose and we thank you for that.

[7:47] Third and finally for the support and willingness to work with us and providing a sidewalk

[7:53] from the county parking lot to the edge of Magnolia Street, which will serve a great purpose

[7:58] for those who are in wheelchairs and walkers trying to gain access to our campus and for those

[8:04] community members who need access to our food pantry.

[8:07] So I stand before you today to say thank you, you are doing an amazing job, our church praise

[8:12] for you weekly, and if there's ever a need that our church can fulfill in this county, call

[8:17] us because we will be there.

[8:19] Thank you, sir.

[8:20] Thank you.

[8:21] Thank you.

[8:27] All right, that's not our normal citizens wishing to address, but thank you.

[8:36] That was a really good one.

[8:41] All right, that brings us to new business and our consent agenda.

[8:47] Is there any item that any member of the court would like to pull to discuss

[8:51] from the consent agenda?

[8:57] No, I'll entertain a motion.

[8:59] Awesome.

[8:59] It looks up.

[9:03] Motion from Commissioner Lender, second from Commissioner Paine, any discussion.

[9:08] Hearing that all in favor say aye. Opposed, motion carries.

[9:16] That brings us to our discussion agenda.

[9:21] Order number six, K1, the Court approved the agreement for additional law enforcement services between

[9:32] Association, all costs associated with this contract will be born by Lakes of Savannah, further

[9:38] to the Court authorize this Constable James Browner and County Judge Matt Sebastian to

[9:42] sign any documents to give this contract full effect. And I don't know if Constable Browner, you

[9:49] want to say anything. I think you indicated this is just a renewal of an existing contract.

[9:58] Yes, we've been contract in Lexus, then and out for, I guess, close to four years.

[10:05] It's been a very successful contract.

[10:07] We've done a lot in the community.

[10:12] It's been beneficial to them because crime rates have dropped.

[10:16] It's helped to sheriff's office out because we answer alarms in there.

[10:19] We first respond to calls with the staffing that's on that northwest side of the 288 corridor.

[10:27] with them basically subsidizing and being 100% reimbursement contract, where they're paying

[10:33] the county, 100% of the funds to put this deputy on the street, it's a no-brainer

[10:37] that we continue to do it, and we provide the service to them because they're paying for

[10:44] the brun of it, and it's been really good, they enjoy it, and we've really had no complaints,

[10:52] This has been a good endeavor that we've ventured into a couple of years ago, and I appreciate

[10:57] you guys for staying in behind us and helping us get that out there for them.

[11:05] There's a lot of arguments whether that applies or not.

[11:10] All right.

[11:10] Thank you, Constable.

[11:13] All right.

[11:14] I'll entertain a motion from the court.

[14:51] and stay in compliance with Section 42.060 of the Texas election code.

[14:58] Do I have a motion?

[15:01] I

[15:05] have a second, and

[15:10] there you are. Come on up, Lisa. You're going to be on a high seat.

[15:43] No, it's going to take effect.

[15:45] The new map will take effect.

[15:48] That's just what you gave you.

[15:49] I think it's pretty dark.

[15:54] Well, I'm just okay.

[15:57] You're two because of the distance.

[16:00] You can change it.

[16:02] Possibility.

[16:04] Now within the commissioner's mouth,

[16:06] I believe they should stay in the commissioner's boundaries.

[16:10] The first thing itself, hopefully.

[16:11] 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.

[16:25] Yes, we'll get two new congressional seats. We're just talking about that.

[16:35] census numbers, are they reported them to Washington?

[16:40] That normally happens on January 1.

[16:44] So there are only four months behind.

[16:47] Usually the state is given those numbers April 1st.

[16:52] And I think they will be giving the numbers

[16:54] to the state with the census blocks sometime in September.

[17:00] So that will be after the current legislative session.

[17:05] So, there will be a special session that the governor will have to call for redistricting,

[17:11] which normally, we would be filing those that are on the ballot next year would be filing

[17:17] for office mid-November through mid-December.

[17:21] That's going to push that into probably the first quarter of next year and normally, we would

[17:28] scheduled for a primary election marks the first of next year, and that's probably going

[17:35] to happen in light may or June because of the delay in the census numbers.

[17:45] Unfortunately, I mean, we did this a couple of years ago here we are again doing it again

[17:48] because of the growth.

[17:54] That gives us total of 70 precincts, 20 precincts.

[17:59] Seven.

[17:59] There was one missing, which was 65, I added that back into calculations and now we're going

[18:03] have a total of seven,

[18:10] so how we will have 70 for the count.

[18:16] Any other questions?

[18:19] We'll get that revised.

[18:22] Thank you, Lisa.

[18:24] And just while we're talking about voting precincts, I'll throw in my little

[18:27] deal.

[18:28] Today is the last day to early vote.

[18:30] 7 a.m.

[18:31] to 7 p.m.

[18:33] Wherever you may live, get out and vote.

[18:36] And election day is this Saturday in the municipal races 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and of course here in

[18:44] Brazilian county we are we have the super centers so you can vote in any place you want at any poll in the

[18:53] county so just though that will look commercial out there. Any other discussion here you know all

[19:12] before me on this day, I've heard the members of Missouri County Commissioner's

[19:17] report and that for me.

[19:19] We're in a pound there, owes to here by state as follows, requirements of Section

[19:22] C, the Texas Local Government Code 114.026 have been met and that we have reviewed and examined

[19:29] the monthly report of Kathy Campbell Treasure, Missouri County Texas, for February 2021.

[19:35] Further having taken reasonable steps to ensure its accuracy has presented, approved

[19:39] their report and enter this order into the minutes which state total cash in other assets

[19:43] in the custody of any treasure at the time of examination to be $250 million, $3,000, $49

[19:51] in twenty-five cents, treasure report and this affidavit will be published on the story.

[19:58] It's four and before I'm need this, the 27th day of April 20th, no one.

[20:01] Thank you, Jamie.

[20:05] All right, so order six, you know, one is approve of the treasure's monthly report investment,

[20:09] report February 2021, this order and affidavit.

[20:11] It must be filed with the county clerk.

[20:14] It is further requested to serve by copy of this order.

[20:16] We return to the county treasurer.

[20:18] This report will be published on the county website.

[20:21] I have a motion.

[20:22] I'm a second.

[20:24] Motion from Commissioner Linder, second from Commissioner K.

[20:26] Any discussion?

[20:28] Here in Annette All and Favor say aye.

[20:31] Opposed, motion carries.

[20:33] Order six in one.

[20:34] Approved the Attach, Pres.

[20:35] county, emergency, rental assistance program, definitions, guidelines, policies and procedures.

[20:40] We're related to the Department of Treasury Grant Assistance, listing number CFDA 21.023 to have a motion.

[20:51] On that.

[20:52] Second.

[20:55] Motion for Commissioner Payne, second for Commissioner Cade.

[20:59] Casey, is this something we have to do to stay in compliance?

[21:04] Okay. Any discussion?

[21:06] Here you are in all of the favor say aye.

[21:10] Opposed motion carries.

[21:13] Order 6 into a point of appeals panel is stipulated in Resorty County Emergency

[21:17] Rental Assistance Program Policies and Procedures to review documentation waiver requests for

[21:22] participation in the Emergency Rental Assistance Program.

[21:26] From the person's chum below their designated or other person's as determined by the court,

[21:31] housing and urban development, department, designate,

[21:34] The auditor's office design, car, rigs, and ingram LLC, third party contractor, designate, tell us about this.

[21:45] We have to put names on any of this or just leave it.

[21:49] It just can't be the people that review the initial documentation waiver request, which would probably be me and or Nancy.

[21:57] So that's why it says our office designate can be on the appeal.

[22:02] And we have people identified, but I didn't want to list their names just in case we need it.

[22:08] Okay.

[22:10] So we just leave it right there.

[22:11] I'll just leave it as a designated.

[22:14] All right.

[22:16] Any questions for Casey?

[22:19] All right.

[22:20] All right.

[22:21] I'll entertain a motion.

[22:22] Motion to approve.

[22:25] Motion to approve.

[22:26] Motion to approve.

[22:29] Motion to approve.

[22:31] Aye. Aye. Opposed. Motion carries.

[22:35] 6 and 3 fiscal year 2020 financial audit. Mr. Whitlow.

[22:39] Nice socks.

[22:41] Good morning.

[22:46] Wait, Whitlow, partner with came in L.

[22:50] We've completed the audit report as it's presented to y'all today.

[22:57] First thing I want to start off with is there was a transition at the county auditor position.

[23:04] We came in in our interim field work when Connie was still in place and that ran smooth as always.

[23:13] In our interim field work, that's where we go all around the county.

[23:17] Talk to a lot of different people walk through transactions at various departments and all that went good.

[23:22] There was nothing to report as it relates to that.

[23:25] 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.

[23:49] 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.

[24:04] So, very, you know, very positive things to say as it relates to that.

[24:09] In the audit report that you'll have in front of you, there's three letters within this audit report that were issuing.

[24:17] The first letter is our opinion letter on the financial statements.

[24:22] 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.

[24:33] The second letter that we're reporting on near the back of the report is our report on internal control over financial reporting.

[24:42] Within this letter, this is a letter that we're required to issue.

[24:47] When we go out in our interim field work, we're gathering information that could affect

[24:52] the audit procedures that we design when we come back in January.

[24:57] It's a base approach that we utilize to perform the audit.

[25:02] We're not offering an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal controls in place for the county,

[25:08] but what we do is if we identify any deficiencies in those internal controls, we would report

[25:15] those within that letter, happy to report that we did not identify any deficiencies in internal

[25:21] control that rose to the level to be included within that letter. The third letter we're issuing

[25:28] is our opinion over compliance related to major federal and state programs. We identified three major

[25:36] federal programs, the first being the Coronavirus Relief Fund.

[25:40] The second is the Highway Planning and Construction Program.

[25:45] And then the third is one of the CDVG programs that Nancy's office handles.

[25:52] The one state program we identified was the juvenile justice probation funds.

[25:59] Within with those four programs identified, we issued an unmodified opinion, so that's a

[26:04] opinion on compliance. Also included within that letter is any internal control related

[26:11] item similar to the financial reporting that we identified in relation to those major programs.

[26:17] We did not identify any control issues over compliance as well, so that is a clean letter

[26:22] that we're issuing.

[26:25] The makeup of the report this year, there were no new accounting standards

[26:29] that were issued in the fiscal year under audit that would have any differing presentation

[26:37] or accounting in respect to the report that we issued last year.

[26:45] So everything in this report is comparative from that stand.

[26:51] There's a wealth of information as you all know in here and a lot of that information

[26:56] is to achieve the certificate of achievement from the GFOA, which the county has done continually

[27:05] and received it last year and were confident that the county will receive that again this year.

[27:10] Two things of note within this audit report is on Exitet 3, which is the Fund Financial

[27:18] Statements. The one thing I wanted to point out was the ending, audited, unassigned fund

[27:24] balance was approximately 110 million.

[27:27] Now, that is the fund balance that the county has that's not restricted or committed

[27:33] for any purposes.

[27:36] Then the second item to point out now that the toll road authority, which we audit the

[27:41] toll road authority as well, the toll road authority's financial statements are included

[27:47] in this report as a discreetly presented component unit.

[27:53] The money that the county, and this is money that we have audited since the inception of the Tolera Authority,

[28:01] the related payable from the Tolera Authority to the county.

[28:07] So it's listed as a receivable on the county's books as approximately 25.6 million.

[28:13] So, now that the toll roads operational, there will be, you know, there's a rubric within,

[28:21] essentially within a potential reimbursement back to the county that will be followed,

[28:29] going forward now that the toll roads operational.

[28:32] In a case, you know, I've had discussions about that already.

[28:34] So, with that being said, I'll wrap up my presentation and take any questions that you may have.

[28:43] Just going to say, Wade and I and Commissioner Payne and Casey as members of the

[28:48] committee met, get rid of what they last week, but we met when over this, that it

[28:56] things out as well. So just to let you all know, the audit committee did fulfill their duties.

[39:47] Dudes, chairs kind of got you blocked.

[39:57] Thank you, gentlemen.

[39:58] Just one update here on, we had our annual statewide adopted beach beach cleanup this last weekend.

[40:09] And just some statistics from that.

[40:10] We actually, for our county alone, we had 233 volunteers, which does not include

[40:17] corporations that showed up, such as Chevron Phillips and BASF and Dow, those oftentimes

[40:22] go straight to their area of the beach.

[40:24] So we don't have those recorded.

[40:25] Those are just the ones that we had sign up in advance.

[40:28] So it was probably closer to 4,500 volunteers that we had.

[40:33] And the trash that was recorded just in a few hours that we had, just on Brzoria County

[40:38] beaches, was 2,600 pounds of trash that was removed.

[40:42] It was more than that, again, that was just what was logged in from the groups that we signed up.

[40:47] If you've been to the beach frequently, you understand where we are with that.

[40:52] 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.

[41:01] And what gets left behind from people who visit.

[41:04] I know I make these comments every time it's a standing.

[41:08] people can bring plastic bags full of all kinds of crap and they can't take their crap back with them.

[41:16] They just leave it on the beach and it just...

[41:19] Right.

[41:19] Now, our crews, our probationers that we use, we get it cleaned up once it gets dirty.

[41:25] It's just the trying to prevent it from getting that as this kind of where we are, which is good.

[41:31] That's better than always running to catch up, but we have folks that are there.

[41:35] We've made some changes in how we do that.

[41:38] Hopefully we won't be where we were last year, last year, if you were recall, with a visitation

[41:42] that we had during the COVID height, we were at seven dumpsters, not the small dumpsters,

[41:49] but the roll-off, large dumpsters, and we were emptying those twice a week full of trash

[41:57] that we would find.

[41:57] That's everything from tent poles to innumerable, unmentionable plastic.

[42:03] 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,

[42:15] 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.

[42:33] So this is something that the State has been doing for years.

[42:36] We've been participating in every single year that they've had it and a really good turn out

[42:40] again this year in spite of the weather that was threatening of rain.

[42:43] So appreciate everyone who showed up and thank you.

[42:52] Any other department heads

[43:00] are going to be going into the executive session, protects his

[43:05] government code 551 sub-chapter D, and they'll be 551.071 potential litigation times

[43:13] five five one dot oh seven two potential purchase of property and five five one dot oh

[43:19] eight seven discussion of chapter 381 economic development agreements it is nine forty two

[43:27] and thank you all for being here y'all be safe

[44:43] All right, it's 10.45. We are back from executive session. There is no action coming from executive session.

[44:50] and score to have anything else there.

[44:53] I'll have it from the courts in Fort Five, where it's here.
