1
00:00:03,700 --> 00:00:11,640
Good afternoon, and welcome to Commissioner's Court. Thank you for joining us today. We open all of our meetings with an invocation and the pledges. Please rise.

2
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:15,760
Please join me in prayer.

3
00:00:18,730 --> 00:00:35,290
Your Lord, since Friday, we've heard a lot of a lot about the life of one of your servants, Charlie Kirk. We sent an example of the path forward to connect those who disagree appropriately through debate and free speech. We have courage to everyone to come before the spotty and speak, let the voice be known.

4
00:00:36,010 --> 00:00:39,150
We don't always have to agree that we should at least hear each other.

5
00:00:40,090 --> 00:00:43,930
Let's pray now in silence for 31 seconds for Charlie's 31 Years of Life.

6
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:16,260
Jesus name we pray. Amen.

7
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,180
We join us in a pledge to all the public in our flag.

8
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:25,000
A pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America,

9
00:01:25,900 --> 00:01:30,380
and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God,

10
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,600
We'll begin with our consent agenda.

11
00:01:55,380 --> 00:01:57,040
These are items of a routine nature.

12
00:01:57,140 --> 00:02:00,620
The court will consider a single vote unless a member of the court would like to separate

13
00:02:00,620 --> 00:02:03,120
an item out for independent consideration.

14
00:02:04,060 --> 00:02:08,320
At this time, I need to hold item 1M1,

15
00:02:09,660 --> 00:02:12,000
and I'll entertain any motion or discussion on the remainder.

16
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:13,880
Move for a little.

17
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:14,260
Second.

18
00:02:15,020 --> 00:02:16,780
I have a motion and a second on the remainder.

19
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:18,200
All in favor say aye.

20
00:02:18,900 --> 00:02:19,180
Aye.

21
00:02:19,540 --> 00:02:19,940
Any opposed?

22
00:02:20,660 --> 00:02:22,320
Motion carries, 4 to 0.

23
00:02:23,060 --> 00:02:26,560
We will hold 1M1 for general discussion.

24
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:30,140
and in fact we'll go ahead and move it up to now.

25
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:35,720
One M1 is a public hearing regarding a replat of lot 1A

26
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,060
of Arnold Creek Farms.

27
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:38,540
Welcome, Mr. Doherty.

28
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:42,420
Clarence Doherty, Director of Engineering.

29
00:02:43,340 --> 00:02:50,760
The owners of lot 1A in Arnold Creek Farms desire

30
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,940
has made a request to subdivide this track

31
00:02:53,940 --> 00:02:58,780
back into the proposals, the publications have been made

32
00:02:58,780 --> 00:03:01,540
and so the public here is required and you can ask it.

33
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:09,020
Very good. All right, this is a public hearing.

34
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,840
So anyone may speak to this item who is with us today.

35
00:03:12,300 --> 00:03:15,740
You do not have to have completed a card before the meeting to speak.

36
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,080
If you are present and you would like to speak,

37
00:03:18,180 --> 00:03:19,700
we would be happy to recognize you.

38
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:21,440
Just raise your hand to indicate.

39
00:03:22,100 --> 00:03:28,100
and I will recognize it. Seeing none, we'll close the public hearing and open up for discussion

40
00:03:28,100 --> 00:03:28,800
amongst the court.

41
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:37,880
I have a motion and a second. All in favor say aye. Aye. Any opposed?

42
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,600
Motion carries. 4-0. Thank you, Mr. Doherty.

43
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,720
Our next item on our general discussion list

44
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,760
is our Regional Transportation Council update, Commissioner Webb.

45
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:53,080
Thank you, Judge.

46
00:03:54,100 --> 00:03:55,420
We passed this out.

47
00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:00,300
The meeting was, as I explained the last two months,

48
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:05,020
we spent a lot of time talking about transit and transit 2.0

49
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,220
and what the RTC could do.

50
00:04:09,660 --> 00:04:12,920
So, as a result, this meeting had a lot of boilerplate

51
00:04:13,580 --> 00:04:15,820
and general items that needed to be approved

52
00:04:15,820 --> 00:04:19,140
because we had been delaying a lot of agenda items.

53
00:04:19,140 --> 00:04:23,800
is really not much impacts calling county.

54
00:04:25,180 --> 00:04:28,180
They're all policy updates and goal updates

55
00:04:28,180 --> 00:04:30,880
that we do every year, two years.

56
00:04:32,260 --> 00:04:34,720
The most interesting thing I've passed out

57
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:40,440
related to we got a call address crash

58
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,480
and fatality update for 2024.

59
00:04:44,840 --> 00:04:48,100
The concern it get from my perspective

60
00:04:48,100 --> 00:04:58,300
for our county is if you look at the fatalities, they've increased 17.74% in the last year versus Dallas

61
00:04:58,300 --> 00:05:05,480
went down, didn't went down, Tarant went down, and we were up 17%. So that should give us a

62
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:17,280
little bit of cause for concern and so probably need to continue to look at ways to reduce those numbers

63
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:24,060
whether it's in terms of design of our roadways and whatever, so that's one of the things

64
00:05:24,060 --> 00:05:29,040
that's on my agenda to try to figure out with text.work with text.txt to see what we

65
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:36,680
can do is of the major urban counties in the DFW region where the only one there is going

66
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:45,060
up and we went up substantially. Other than that, the other thing of interest occurred before

67
00:05:45,060 --> 00:05:54,500
For the RTC meeting, we had our first subcommittee meeting related to what we could do to bring

68
00:05:54,500 --> 00:06:03,740
the transit agencies together and formulate a policy that could push the Metroplex into

69
00:06:03,740 --> 00:06:09,620
a situation where we could have a unified transit system that's equitable to everybody.

70
00:06:10,460 --> 00:06:17,640
and we and so that was our first meeting and RTC has certain policies and

71
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:24,920
procedures that can adopt that could help implement some of the recommendations and

72
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:32,820
transit 2.0 so our first meeting went well I sit on that committee and so we're

73
00:06:32,820 --> 00:06:38,400
going to be meeting twice a month for the next year at least trying to draft

74
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:46,220
something that we can take to the three transit agencies and the members and

75
00:06:46,220 --> 00:06:50,640
non-members of those transit agencies see what we can come up with.

76
00:06:51,340 --> 00:06:53,460
So that was it. That's my report.

77
00:06:54,380 --> 00:07:00,080
Commissioner, could you let us know or I guess pass it along when they study this

78
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:05,540
about the increase in the 17% increase in deaths and highways.

79
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:09,600
If they could

80
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:17,480
and also about all the construction that we're having here and if a lot of them are concentrated within construction,

81
00:07:18,860 --> 00:07:24,020
you know, that might tell us something and how to address that problem so that we can keep our community safe.

82
00:07:24,100 --> 00:07:28,920
It could be, it could be a contouring effect or the issue though is with that,

83
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,080
then counties grown almost as fast as we are.

84
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:33,120
That's true.

85
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:37,620
We're almost as fast as we are and yet they saw reductions.

86
00:07:37,620 --> 00:07:39,560
Yeah. Good points. Very good points.

87
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:45,940
And so the question is, what can we do in this county?

88
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,180
And again, it's primarily a text.issue.

89
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:57,340
Is what can we do to look at how we're approaching congestion

90
00:07:57,340 --> 00:07:59,500
and those type of things?

91
00:08:00,100 --> 00:08:02,660
So we'll see what it's on text.radar.

92
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:04,840
So we're going to start pushing.

93
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:10,840
know. I know we all get a lot of comments from our constituents about construction and

94
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:17,200
you know the increase in traffic and then all of the trucks and you know potential dangers

95
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:21,240
from that and them going through different neighborhoods and there's a lot of that

96
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:25,700
but at the same time there's got to be there's got to be a reason so I look forward to hearing

97
00:08:25,700 --> 00:08:29,700
what they have to say because it is a concern. I'm going to try to get some more information

98
00:08:29,700 --> 00:08:36,060
to really write down where these fatalities are occurring and what intersections and where,

99
00:08:36,460 --> 00:08:37,780
so we'll get a little better items.

100
00:08:37,780 --> 00:08:38,280
That'll be helpful.

101
00:08:38,500 --> 00:08:39,000
Let's go on.

102
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:39,880
Very good.

103
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:40,340
Thank you.

104
00:08:43,710 --> 00:08:49,310
Commissioner, do you anticipate that the study committee is going to look for ways to push

105
00:08:49,310 --> 00:08:51,570
non-member cities into a transit authority?

106
00:08:52,290 --> 00:08:53,010
Wish no.

107
00:08:53,550 --> 00:09:01,570
I think they're going to hopefully create ways to entice member cities.

108
00:09:01,570 --> 00:09:06,290
but that has to do with equity of the transfer cities or non-member cities, non-member cities,

109
00:09:07,690 --> 00:09:09,410
ties and non-member cities.

110
00:09:11,490 --> 00:09:14,510
Dart reduces its one-cent to a half-cent.

111
00:09:15,790 --> 00:09:16,790
You could be...

112
00:09:17,750 --> 00:09:19,050
You don't mean by holding...

113
00:09:19,610 --> 00:09:24,670
by holding transportation funds hostage to entice people.

114
00:09:25,330 --> 00:09:28,610
You just mean making it so that it's attractive that they want to join.

115
00:09:28,610 --> 00:09:30,210
Yes, I

116
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:36,320
mean all the big cities in

117
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:37,760
Colin County have expressed an

118
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,940
interest already and we did the

119
00:09:40,940 --> 00:09:43,840
transit study. They all were

120
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,460
interested in it. They just weren't

121
00:09:46,460 --> 00:09:48,060
interested in the terms that were

122
00:09:48,060 --> 00:09:49,700
being presented by the transit

123
00:09:49,700 --> 00:09:54,900
agencies. So all of them expressed

124
00:09:54,900 --> 00:09:58,360
interest in micro transit using

125
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:02,340
their M&O funds to pay for it.

126
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:09,820
the promise couldn't get the transit agencies express interest in doing that. So that's

127
00:10:09,820 --> 00:10:18,480
to provide those services, provide those services at a cost. So there's a lot of things.

128
00:10:18,680 --> 00:10:24,780
Members not purchasers. The transit agencies have historically wanted members only, not customer.

129
00:10:24,900 --> 00:10:28,820
Right. Is that fair? That's one of the transit agencies, yes, start.

130
00:10:28,820 --> 00:10:29,640
I'm

131
00:10:32,490 --> 00:10:38,230
assuming that they'll be looking at the public cost versus riders and ridership and all that.

132
00:10:39,870 --> 00:10:47,270
Again, it's going to be up to every city as to whether they want to transit services or not.

133
00:10:47,530 --> 00:10:55,190
But the hope is that if we get this re-equalize the transit agencies and we provide,

134
00:10:55,190 --> 00:11:02,070
we went get the transit agencies to really provide the services that the

135
00:11:02,070 --> 00:11:07,090
non-member cities want and the members cities want whether that safety is a big

136
00:11:07,090 --> 00:11:15,070
one equitable is another big one going to where they want to go then their

137
00:11:15,070 --> 00:11:22,190
non-member cities will probably start small and work through to what their

138
00:11:22,190 --> 00:11:28,010
budget allows and what they want for their citizens want. That's the whole

139
00:11:28,010 --> 00:11:33,750
objective. It's not to push anyone anywhere. I mean personally I would always

140
00:11:33,750 --> 00:11:41,890
advocate for costs for these types of situations to be as close to the end

141
00:11:41,890 --> 00:11:48,330
user as possible and not put on as a general blanket for the entire community to

142
00:11:48,330 --> 00:11:57,450
pay for, so that very few, you know, are actually benefiting and paying for what it costs to

143
00:11:57,450 --> 00:11:57,810
do that.

144
00:11:58,030 --> 00:12:03,950
I mean, it's just such an enormous cost, and with all of the infrastructure and changes

145
00:12:03,950 --> 00:12:10,610
in transportation overall, I hope they're really looking at that, because with self-driving

146
00:12:10,610 --> 00:12:15,790
cars, I mean, there's a lot of situations where they've done studies, and you could use that,

147
00:12:15,790 --> 00:12:20,910
you know the self-driving cars to get people where they need to go and that's

148
00:12:20,910 --> 00:12:25,430
that's not going to handle the masses I understand that but but in the end

149
00:12:25,430 --> 00:12:31,110
the public cost of it is my biggest concern. I think there's going to there

150
00:12:31,110 --> 00:12:34,270
is going to be some really good solutions come out of this now whether

151
00:12:34,270 --> 00:12:41,630
again the transit agencies are willing we have about a year to get something

152
00:12:41,630 --> 00:12:45,190
being re-structured, it is

153
00:12:45,190 --> 00:12:47,190
markable and the cities are

154
00:12:47,190 --> 00:12:48,690
interested in, I'm not just

155
00:12:48,690 --> 00:12:50,050
talking non-members, I'm talking

156
00:12:50,050 --> 00:12:53,390
members too, that the

157
00:12:53,390 --> 00:12:55,250
trans agencies can live with

158
00:12:56,430 --> 00:12:58,510
because 2026 is going to be

159
00:12:58,510 --> 00:13:00,950
the year in which, with your

160
00:13:00,950 --> 00:13:02,490
elections can occur for

161
00:13:02,490 --> 00:13:03,730
several of the big cities.

162
00:13:05,370 --> 00:13:07,290
And so, if something doesn't

163
00:13:07,290 --> 00:13:09,610
get re-structured,

164
00:13:10,490 --> 00:13:20,070
for those withdrawal elections are called upon then I think you're going to see the whole system collapse

165
00:13:20,070 --> 00:13:29,770
and at that point there is going to be no integrated transit system and as I tell everybody we're projected to double in size, the Metroplex

166
00:13:30,610 --> 00:13:37,970
will be within the next 30 years will be it effectively 16 million people.

167
00:13:40,550 --> 00:13:45,190
And if you didn't have, and I'm talking about metrics, and if you don't have any kind

168
00:13:45,190 --> 00:13:53,210
of transit for 16, then I think you just can't build enough roads to handle the capacity

169
00:13:53,210 --> 00:13:56,870
issues or needs, are not issues, needs.

170
00:13:58,050 --> 00:14:00,590
There are so many big think tanks that are out there.

171
00:14:00,730 --> 00:14:07,810
I would hope they would engage with those groups, you know, Toyota is famous for looking

172
00:14:07,810 --> 00:14:12,270
at big problems and helping community partners and government especially.

173
00:14:12,790 --> 00:14:19,810
And that's what we hired, we hired, we did a call and we basically paid to have the

174
00:14:19,810 --> 00:14:27,530
expert worldwide experts. That's what Transit 2.0 is. It's basically them spending a year

175
00:14:28,770 --> 00:14:35,430
studying everything and bringing all the recommendations both low-hanging fruit and higher-level stuff.

176
00:14:35,430 --> 00:14:36,270
So we'll see.

177
00:14:37,050 --> 00:14:37,730
It's interesting.

178
00:14:38,070 --> 00:14:43,090
I mean, there have been talks about putting down the Dallas North Toaway and putting some

179
00:14:43,090 --> 00:14:47,510
type of a monorail system that's already on that corridor, and I've heard all the different

180
00:14:47,510 --> 00:14:47,890
things.

181
00:14:48,030 --> 00:14:48,810
I'm wishing for that.

182
00:14:49,390 --> 00:14:57,270
I still think that's where the heaviest, maximized use of people needing to ride on a

183
00:14:57,270 --> 00:14:59,750
trance it would be down the north-house tollway.

184
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:08,940
It was all the way from Cowboys headquarters, all the way to downtown and you hit all the big ones. Yeah. It would make a lot of sense, but.

185
00:15:11,020 --> 00:15:20,040
TTA controls that word or. Understood. Well, thanks. That's an interesting update. Thanks for the information as well. Thank you, Commissioner.

186
00:15:22,670 --> 00:15:30,870
All right. Before we move to our next item on the general discussion list, staff has asked me to pull item 1M4

187
00:15:30,870 --> 00:15:39,370
from our consent agenda so that it can be considered next week, and so I'd like to make a motion that we

188
00:15:40,090 --> 00:15:49,390
re-vote on our consent agenda. We pulled 1M1 and I'd like us to also pull 1M4 if the court will entertain that.

189
00:15:49,410 --> 00:15:55,330
So I'll second your motion to pull it. Do we need to vote on it again now or do we need to just vote to pull it?

190
00:15:55,850 --> 00:16:02,930
My motion is to reconcent agenda with without 1M1 and without 1M4.

191
00:16:03,570 --> 00:16:04,670
Does that work for you?

192
00:16:04,790 --> 00:16:05,370
That works for me.

193
00:16:05,530 --> 00:16:05,730
Okay.

194
00:16:06,010 --> 00:16:07,110
Any questions on that?

195
00:16:07,710 --> 00:16:08,750
All in favor say aye.

196
00:16:09,230 --> 00:16:09,430
Aye.

197
00:16:09,630 --> 00:16:09,770
Aye.

198
00:16:10,270 --> 00:16:10,610
Any opposed?

199
00:16:11,310 --> 00:16:11,990
Motion carries.

200
00:16:12,390 --> 00:16:12,830
4-0.

201
00:16:13,590 --> 00:16:15,750
Thank you, staff, for bringing that to my attention.

202
00:16:17,050 --> 00:16:21,690
Move to approve the consent agenda without 1M1 and 1M4.

203
00:16:22,210 --> 00:16:22,410
Second.

204
00:16:22,890 --> 00:16:23,470
That was the motion.

205
00:16:23,470 --> 00:16:25,250
And, well, okay, to reconsider, okay.

206
00:16:26,030 --> 00:16:27,950
We can do it again just to make sure, that's fine.

207
00:16:28,770 --> 00:16:29,930
All in favor say aye.

208
00:16:30,430 --> 00:16:30,690
Aye.

209
00:16:31,130 --> 00:16:31,470
Any opposed?

210
00:16:32,030 --> 00:16:33,350
Motion carries, forward to zero.

211
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:40,940
All right, our next item, regards the central appraisal district, board of directors elections.

212
00:16:41,860 --> 00:16:47,820
The county is one of many entities that's entitled to votes for some of the director's seats.

213
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,860
And each year we have the opportunity to allocate our votes.

214
00:16:51,860 --> 00:16:59,840
Does anyone, we do not have a proposal this year in our agenda, so I'll open it up for discussion.

215
00:17:00,180 --> 00:17:02,380
I'll open up for any proposals that anyone would like to make.

216
00:17:05,420 --> 00:17:07,840
I mean, I'll just do it the same way we've done it every year.

217
00:17:08,460 --> 00:17:11,060
I'll see your reason to change since we don't have anything else.

218
00:17:11,380 --> 00:17:14,360
Yeah, I mean, our votes are such a small portion.

219
00:17:14,820 --> 00:17:17,700
We're not the ones that actually get to control anything.

220
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:23,840
They do matter, but they're a very small portion of the greater number based on our tax rate.

221
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,300
and how much people are paying, so.

222
00:17:26,660 --> 00:17:31,060
Mr. Kim, I believe we're only at the nominations step, is that correct?

223
00:17:32,260 --> 00:17:35,100
I don't believe we're at the auditing step yet.

224
00:17:35,100 --> 00:17:36,040
I think you're right, yeah.

225
00:17:36,380 --> 00:17:40,420
Judge, my understanding based on the letter from the CAAD is we're at the allocation

226
00:17:40,420 --> 00:17:44,220
of votes step, which needs to be done before October 1st.

227
00:17:44,360 --> 00:17:45,980
And that's their action.

228
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:50,220
They allocate the votes and tell us how many that we each have.

229
00:17:50,220 --> 00:18:06,920
And then once we have our votes, once we're told how many votes we have been allocated then we can we can turn in between now and I think October 15th, we can submit nominations, but we don't really have a ballot yet as we have in years past.

230
00:18:07,300 --> 00:18:09,340
So I'm thinking that perhaps we're a little early.

231
00:18:09,340 --> 00:18:10,280
Correct, Judge.

232
00:18:10,420 --> 00:18:10,900
I stand corrected.

233
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:11,780
That is correct.

234
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:13,560
We are at the nomination of Canada's step.

235
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:14,120
Okay.

236
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:14,500
Yes.

237
00:18:15,140 --> 00:18:18,080
So then let's do this if the pleases the court.

238
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,780
All nominations are acceptable.

239
00:18:21,020 --> 00:18:27,080
If you want to bring one forward in the intervening weeks, we can vote on nominations to forward

240
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,880
over to the appraisal district.

241
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,100
I'm sure they're going to get nominations from other entities as well.

242
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,820
And then that will come back to us in the form of a ballot in a few weeks.

243
00:18:37,340 --> 00:18:37,520
Okay.

244
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,220
Okay, the no action is required today.

245
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:41,640
Thank you, Mr. Kim.

246
00:18:45,930 --> 00:18:50,990
With that, we do have one speaker for public comments, not related to the agenda.

247
00:18:51,570 --> 00:18:56,150
And so I would like to at this time recognize Barbara Lyck, welcome, ma'am.

248
00:18:56,370 --> 00:18:57,510
Thank you for joining us today.

249
00:18:58,330 --> 00:19:00,570
You can join us at the podium and you have three minutes.

250
00:19:00,570 --> 00:19:01,410
As

251
00:19:07,270 --> 00:19:12,550
Barbara Dawn like, my husband's name is Dan Lyme. Our home address is 1-3-0's

252
00:19:12,550 --> 00:19:18,930
Girl Ridge, Wally, Texas, 75098. The population growth that is happening in

253
00:19:18,930 --> 00:19:23,930
Colin County and adjoining cities of Colin County is tremendous. With this

254
00:19:23,930 --> 00:19:28,770
amount of growth it brings extra responsibilities to all government agencies.

255
00:19:29,650 --> 00:19:38,890
This year's budget workshop held on August 4 through the 7th, 2025, in my opinion, was held

256
00:19:38,890 --> 00:19:46,890
with a castrotic after effects from actions given for most of the government agencies of

257
00:19:46,890 --> 00:19:47,570
Colin County.

258
00:19:48,750 --> 00:19:54,910
At the budget workshop, Jim Skinner invited Commissioner Fletcher, precinct one, Commissioner

259
00:19:54,910 --> 00:19:58,470
Williams, precinct two, Commissioner Hale, precinct

260
00:19:58,470 --> 00:20:03,870
three, Commissioner Webb, precinct four, and Judge Hill to come and visit the

261
00:20:03,870 --> 00:20:08,610
Column County Sheriff's Department to actually see hands-on needs for the

262
00:20:08,610 --> 00:20:13,290
Sheriff's Department financial responsibilities. Sometimes working in

263
00:20:13,290 --> 00:20:18,570
theory on paper for money's needed does not happen as easy with certain plans and

264
00:20:18,570 --> 00:20:23,750
possibly a more hands-on approach to a plan could have a better outcome for

265
00:20:23,750 --> 00:20:28,230
financial money's needed. The sheriff also talked about the many letters

266
00:20:28,230 --> 00:20:32,790
he had written to the commissioners court before the budget workshop or

267
00:20:32,790 --> 00:20:36,950
assistant needs for the sheriff's department and received only one letter back

268
00:20:36,950 --> 00:20:43,530
from the commissioner court to the sheriff. Hopefully with the year 2025 and into

269
00:20:43,530 --> 00:20:50,990
to 2026 before budget workshop in 2026, the doors for better communication will

270
00:20:50,990 --> 00:20:55,870
be done by all. In viewing videos of the commissioner court meetings that have

271
00:20:55,870 --> 00:21:02,090
been held since the budget work job on 2025 possibly the actions of better

272
00:21:02,090 --> 00:21:06,710
communicating are happening. The Column County Sheriff's Department gives

273
00:21:06,710 --> 00:21:11,810
excellent service to the Column County citizens. The citizens know this to be

274
00:21:11,810 --> 00:21:17,170
true with past services provided by the Sheriff's Department and they trust it

275
00:21:17,170 --> 00:21:22,670
will continue into the future for all the citizens. Thank you commissioners

276
00:21:22,670 --> 00:21:27,450
Court for allowing this time for the citizens to speak freely.

277
00:21:29,460 --> 00:21:30,220
Thank you, ma'am.

278
00:21:33,530 --> 00:21:35,750
This concludes the Commissioner's Court meeting.

279
00:21:36,590 --> 00:21:38,830
I'll adjourn the Commissioner's Court meeting and call to order.

280
00:21:40,030 --> 00:21:43,410
The toll road authority meeting, we have a consent agenda to consider.

281
00:21:43,910 --> 00:21:45,270
I'll entertain any motion or discussion.

282
00:21:46,290 --> 00:21:46,890
Move for approval.

283
00:21:47,250 --> 00:21:48,310
Motion in the second.

00:21:48,410 --> 00:21:49,150

Aye.

286

Any opposed?

287
00:21:51,470 --> 00:21:52,810
Motion carries, four to zero.

288
00:21:52,810 --> 00:21:58,070
I'll adjourn the toll road authority meeting and call to order the health care foundation meeting.

289
00:21:58,330 --> 00:22:01,330
We have a consent agenda to consider, I'll entertain any motion or discussion.

290
00:22:01,670 --> 00:22:02,110
I have approval.

291
00:22:02,710 --> 00:22:03,970
I have a motion in a second.

292
00:22:04,150 --> 00:22:04,830
I'll say aye.

293
00:22:05,390 --> 00:22:05,610
Aye.

294
00:22:06,150 --> 00:22:06,530
Any opposed?

295
00:22:07,170 --> 00:22:08,430
Motion carries, 4-0.

296
00:22:08,970 --> 00:22:12,170
We'll adjourn the health care foundation meeting and we stand adjourned for the day.

297
00:22:12,410 --> 00:22:12,810
Thank you.
