1
00:00:02,380 --> 00:00:17,940
Okay? So, this is the regular session of Commissioners Corps for Colmau County, Thursday, September 3rd. We're calling it to order at 830 AM. Let the record reflect that all members of the court are present this morning and that there is a quorum. We'll begin with action agenda item number 1.

2
00:00:20,220 --> 00:00:31,260
Judge, I move to approve the claims as presented for September 3rd, 2026, EFTs, 1,409,345, and 80 cents.

3
00:00:31,500 --> 00:00:42,040
Regular claims of 2,386,800, 5,10 cents for total of 3,816,150 dollars in 90 cents.

4
00:00:43,180 --> 00:00:47,340
Here's a motion to approve claims by Commissioner Hog with a second by Commissioner Leecock.

5
00:00:47,340 --> 00:00:53,060
any discussion. All those in favor please raise your right hand. Motion carries.

6
00:00:54,380 --> 00:00:59,960
Item two is a proclamation recognizing September 26th as suicide prevention month in Col.

7
00:01:00,020 --> 00:01:00,740
County.

8
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:08,300
Whereas suicide is a serious and preventable public health concern that affects

9
00:01:08,300 --> 00:01:13,660
individuals, families, and communities across the nation, causing immeasurable pain,

10
00:01:13,660 --> 00:01:17,560
loss and grief. And whereas over the past 12 months,

11
00:01:17,820 --> 00:01:20,260
Hill Country, Mental Health and Development Disabilities

12
00:01:20,260 --> 00:01:24,860
Centers, Hill Country, MHDD, Mobile Crisis Outreach

13
00:01:24,860 --> 00:01:29,880
Team, MCOT, has assessed approximately 942 individuals

14
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,560
experiencing suicidal thoughts or behaviors.

15
00:01:33,320 --> 00:01:36,520
With approximately 404 of those individuals reporting

16
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,020
a lifetime history of a suicide attempt.

17
00:01:39,980 --> 00:01:42,480
And whereas Hill Country, MHDD,

18
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:58,460
As a local mental health authority, Serving Co-Mal County provides critical mental health services and resources that are an essential part of the county's mental health infrastructure, including crisis response, assessment, intervention and connection to ongoing care and support.

19
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:10,740
And whereas the services provided by Hill Country MHDD and other local mental health authorities throughout Texas play a vital role in ensuring that individuals experiencing mental health challenges

20
00:02:10,740 --> 00:02:14,240
or behavioral health crisis have access to timely,

21
00:02:14,820 --> 00:02:16,480
appropriate, and compassionate care.

22
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,160
And whereas suicide prevention efforts involve fostering

23
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,540
a culture of compassion, understanding

24
00:02:22,540 --> 00:02:24,880
and an open communication within our community,

25
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,020
while encouraging individuals to seek help, support,

26
00:02:28,260 --> 00:02:30,200
and appropriate resources when they are struggling.

27
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,040
And whereas recognizing September,

28
00:02:33,340 --> 00:02:35,460
as suicide prevention month in Comel County,

29
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:37,700
provides an opportunity to reduce stigma,

30
00:02:37,700 --> 00:02:46,140
Promote mental health awareness, encourage help seeking, and demonstrate our community's commitment to preventing suicide and supporting those in need.

31
00:02:46,920 --> 00:03:07,560
And whereas collaboration among Hill Country and HDD, local organizations, mental health professionals, educators, health care providers, first responders, community leaders, families and residents is essential to creating a supportive network that provides resources, guidance, connection, and a sensible longing to individuals who may be

32
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,400
experiencing mental health challenges or a suicidal crisis.

33
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,600
And whereas, by recognizing suicide prevention month,

34
00:03:13,860 --> 00:03:16,240
Comout County acknowledges the importance of raising awareness,

35
00:03:16,980 --> 00:03:19,000
educating the community about suicide prevention,

36
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,080
and available resources, promoting connectedness

37
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,720
and offering hope to individuals and families

38
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:26,360
affected by suicide.

39
00:03:27,640 --> 00:03:29,800
Now, therefore, be a proclaimed by the Commissioner's Court

40
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,600
of Comout County, Texas, the September 26th,

41
00:03:32,820 --> 00:03:34,880
is here by recognized as suicide prevention

42
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:35,960
month in Comout County.

43
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:47,400
And be, if further proclaimed that all residents of Colmouth County are encouraged to participate in activities and events that promote mental health education, suicide prevention, awareness and support.

44
00:03:47,820 --> 00:04:05,720
And that individuals, organizations, schools, businesses, healthcare providers, and community partners are encouraged to work together to foster an environment of empathy, understanding, compassion, connection and hope, and to actively engage in efforts that contribute to the prevention of suicide and the promotion.

45
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,480
of mental well-being throughout our community.

46
00:04:11,810 --> 00:04:14,150
Judge, I'm moved to approve the Proclamation just rib.

47
00:04:15,750 --> 00:04:20,590
We have a motion by Commissioner Hogg with a second by Commissioner Lee Cock to approve the Proclamation.

48
00:04:21,510 --> 00:04:22,110
Any discussion?

49
00:04:23,550 --> 00:04:25,590
All those in favor please raise your right hand.

50
00:04:26,030 --> 00:04:26,810
Motion carries.

51
00:04:28,430 --> 00:04:31,110
Okay, so would like to invite anyone up to accept the Proclamation?

52
00:05:57,650 --> 00:06:08,670
And see when I have the privilege of sitting with people during some of the most vulnerable moments of their lives, we meet people when they're overwhelmed, hurting and sometimes unsure if there's a way forward.

53
00:06:09,770 --> 00:06:14,310
But after years of doing this work, I've learned something that I think is important to remember.

54
00:06:14,810 --> 00:06:23,090
Suicide prevention doesn't begin when someone is in active crisis. It begins long before that. It begins with connection.

55
00:06:23,850 --> 00:06:32,510
When someone is struggling, we often picture the person who is visibly hurting, the person asking for help or clearly showing that something is wrong.

56
00:06:33,070 --> 00:06:37,910
But sometimes the people who need connection the most are the ones who appear to have everything together.

57
00:06:38,250 --> 00:06:42,390
The strong one, the person who always checks on everyone else.

58
00:06:42,630 --> 00:06:48,630
The coworker who makes everyone laugh or the parent who never lets them see, never lets anybody see them struggle.

59
00:06:49,310 --> 00:06:55,430
We don't always know what someone is carrying, that is why suicide prevention belongs to all of us.

60
00:06:55,850 --> 00:07:04,730
It can be as simple as checking in, not just once, but consistently, asking someone how they're really doing and being willing to listen to the answer.

61
00:07:06,590 --> 00:07:14,130
Noticing when someone seems a little different, reminding someone that they're not alone and asking for help is not a weakness.

62
00:07:14,130 --> 00:07:20,410
This is why uniting our communities matter so much, building relationships, creating

63
00:07:20,410 --> 00:07:24,890
connection, and making sure people know they belong is to the side prevention.

64
00:07:26,310 --> 00:07:30,510
Through my years on MCOT, I've seen how powerful it can be when someone is willing to

65
00:07:30,510 --> 00:07:35,290
sit beside another person in their darker moments and say, you don't have to do this alone.

66
00:07:36,010 --> 00:07:42,270
Sometimes that person is a crisis responder, sometimes is a friend, a family member, a coworker,

67
00:07:42,270 --> 00:07:46,250
neighbor or someone who is simply willing to take the time and listen.

68
00:07:47,930 --> 00:07:53,110
We may not always know what to say, we may not be able to fix what someone is experiencing,

69
00:07:53,490 --> 00:07:56,590
but we can show up, we can ask, and we can stay connected.

70
00:07:57,730 --> 00:08:00,370
This is how to pair prevention awareness month.

71
00:08:00,710 --> 00:08:04,510
I encourage you to remember to check on the people who are struggling, but also those who

72
00:08:04,510 --> 00:08:06,570
seem strong enough to not need anyone.

73
00:08:07,270 --> 00:08:12,130
Connection is prevention and creating a community where people feel seen, supported and

74
00:08:12,130 --> 00:08:14,850
is it just something we do during our crisis?

75
00:08:15,310 --> 00:08:16,930
It's something we can do every day.

76
00:08:17,330 --> 00:08:18,130
Thank you.

77
00:08:53,560 --> 00:08:56,440
We'll move back into our workshop agenda,

78
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,160
and we will begin with citizens' comments.

79
00:08:59,500 --> 00:09:04,140
Public comments are for comments on any item other than the,

80
00:09:04,140 --> 00:09:05,720
what is posted with the public hearing.

81
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:07,720
So comments are limited to three minutes.

82
00:09:08,300 --> 00:09:09,200
We're going to come on for

83
00:09:14,350 --> 00:09:14,830
it.

84
00:09:15,010 --> 00:09:15,330
Good morning.

85
00:09:15,750 --> 00:09:15,990
Good morning.

86
00:09:16,630 --> 00:09:17,030
Good morning.

87
00:09:17,030 --> 00:09:24,270
I'm a citizen of Kamal County and what I have some questions related to federal officers

88
00:09:24,270 --> 00:09:25,350
being in our county.

89
00:09:26,230 --> 00:09:30,750
What precisely are the coordination procedures between federal officers and Kamal County

90
00:09:30,750 --> 00:09:31,530
law enforcement?

91
00:09:31,970 --> 00:09:33,190
That's one question.

92
00:09:33,630 --> 00:09:40,310
The Supreme Court ruled no versus Voskis Pranano, but it almost, that ICE can use race and

93
00:09:40,310 --> 00:09:44,690
other factors such as language and employment as part of their justification for immigration

94
00:09:44,690 --> 00:09:45,290
stops.

95
00:09:45,290 --> 00:09:50,350
are these factors being used and stopped made by Kamal County, the law enforcement, there

96
00:09:50,350 --> 00:09:55,790
have been claims that they have, and there was a news report that a person was stopped

97
00:09:56,490 --> 00:09:59,110
and the officer that stopped them has been terminated.

98
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:05,780
There's other claims that have been occurring recently. So we'd like to know what's going on with that.

99
00:10:06,380 --> 00:10:12,180
How much money does Kamal County get for each person they hold for the federal government and does this include children?

100
00:10:13,540 --> 00:10:21,840
What amount and what tax dollars federal state municipal does the funding come from for the county's cooperation with federal officers?

101
00:10:22,620 --> 00:10:28,720
What is your exact dollar amount received for each part of the federal and county coordination cooperation process?

102
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:33,840
There's the amount covered, the full cost for coordinating with federal officers, or is there a short

103
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:35,280
fall incurred by the county.

104
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:40,760
Our additional federal duties putting a strain on Kamal County resources and possibly

105
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:46,180
leading to not having enough resources to handle crimes, especially violent crimes, carried

106
00:10:46,180 --> 00:10:51,780
out by U.S. citizens, or surveillance devices being used to gather information on the general

107
00:10:51,780 --> 00:10:52,440
population.

108
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,240
What devices are being used by Kamal County for surveillance?

109
00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:00,920
or flat cameras or other surveillance cameras and or devices assisting

110
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,100
and coordinated efforts with federal officers.

111
00:11:04,140 --> 00:11:08,560
Is AI used to analyze and aggregate data from surveillance devices and other sources?

112
00:11:09,020 --> 00:11:13,580
What are other data sources used for how long is the data stored?

113
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:20,580
This is just the beginning of what is the process for law enforcement

114
00:11:20,580 --> 00:11:25,280
to search and access the data in law enforcement agencies and non-law enforcement

115
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,680
are allowed to search, are they allowed to search and access the information?

116
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,200
Do they need a warrant signed by a judge?

117
00:11:31,580 --> 00:11:35,220
How can we find who has searched and how many searches were conducted on our license

118
00:11:35,220 --> 00:11:37,220
place or other data points related to us?

119
00:11:37,700 --> 00:11:41,920
These are important questions and we need to realize that right now we're treating people

120
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:46,380
as the other and they're the ones that are victims of all of this surveillance and all

121
00:11:46,380 --> 00:11:51,480
of this stopping people for their color or their skin or the way they speak or their job.

122
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:57,900
But that's not limit not going to be limited to them. It's going to be all of us that are all of us are being servaled

123
00:11:57,900 --> 00:12:04,960
And we're going to use that against all of us. So we need to understand that it's not just them. It's us as well. Thank you

124
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:06,840
Thank you

125
00:12:13,050 --> 00:12:13,870
Good morning

126
00:12:14,530 --> 00:12:24,470
Good morning. My name's Joe Joplin. Me and my family live on River Road between the second and third crossing. We operate two businesses. One's called the grouchy goose. One's called the tan turtle

127
00:12:26,250 --> 00:12:30,410
Before that, I was a Parks and Wildlife employee for eight years on a Duffles River and

128
00:12:30,410 --> 00:12:34,670
worked a lot with Nature Conservancy, which leads me to the point I'm here for.

129
00:12:35,070 --> 00:12:39,970
Our properties, which we on the Gratigues and our friends on the Tan Turtle are for sale, and

130
00:12:39,970 --> 00:12:44,490
I've been reading about the Water Quality Picture Land Program that the county got approved

131
00:12:44,490 --> 00:12:48,470
for, and the Water Government Award, and I think that these properties may be of interest

132
00:12:48,470 --> 00:12:52,430
to the county and the fact that they're essentially located between the Canyon Lake and New

133
00:12:52,950 --> 00:12:56,090
there's currently no public access between that area.

134
00:12:56,370 --> 00:13:00,590
That's a good stage in area for not only utilities, emergency services,

135
00:13:01,110 --> 00:13:02,290
but that currently happens over currently.

136
00:13:02,470 --> 00:13:04,510
We have a storefront there and it's got a good turnaround.

137
00:13:05,470 --> 00:13:06,670
So they kind of utilize that.

138
00:13:06,810 --> 00:13:08,190
There's a lot of undeveloped in the back.

139
00:13:08,810 --> 00:13:10,590
This is about 14 acres, which would be available.

140
00:13:10,950 --> 00:13:12,630
So you have a conservation land.

141
00:13:12,670 --> 00:13:15,030
You can have some infrastructure for county needs,

142
00:13:15,230 --> 00:13:16,830
and you could have some managed water access

143
00:13:16,830 --> 00:13:17,890
if you'd like for the public.

144
00:13:18,870 --> 00:13:20,850
I think basically it would fit a lot of the criteria

145
00:13:20,850 --> 00:13:25,370
that would come in handy and based on my background, I think that I would like to see in my

146
00:13:25,370 --> 00:13:29,190
family to see it and sometime in nature, based on conservation use as opposed to shared

147
00:13:29,190 --> 00:13:34,970
development. But I think if you review that and if the 14 acres like said, could be added

148
00:13:34,970 --> 00:13:39,050
on to the 30 acres as undeveloped around it, so it has room for expansion. So it might be one of

149
00:13:39,050 --> 00:13:43,310
those properties of look at under that program. Thank you. Thank you.

150
00:13:46,310 --> 00:13:47,630
Is there anyone else here to

151
00:13:47,630 --> 00:13:49,170
address the court during public comment?

152
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,660
Seeing none, we'll go to workshop agenda item number two,

153
00:13:55,660 --> 00:13:58,080
which is reports by county staff and elected officials

154
00:13:58,080 --> 00:13:59,800
on items of community interest.

155
00:14:05,190 --> 00:14:08,550
I just wanted to introduce our new employee, Robert Cantu.

156
00:14:09,090 --> 00:14:09,890
He's from elections.

157
00:14:10,230 --> 00:14:11,170
We've hired him.

158
00:14:11,470 --> 00:14:15,210
He has some experience from Bear County.

159
00:14:15,670 --> 00:14:17,910
So we're really excited to have him.

160
00:14:17,910 --> 00:14:20,430
And I don't want to embarrass him, but I want to welcome him

161
00:14:20,430 --> 00:14:21,570
to the county family.

162
00:14:22,150 --> 00:14:22,670
Welcome,

163
00:14:25,070 --> 00:14:25,230
Robert.

164
00:14:27,610 --> 00:14:28,730
Morning Judgement Commissioners.

165
00:14:29,070 --> 00:14:32,250
On Tuesday, the Morton Preserve opened back up to the public.

166
00:14:32,250 --> 00:14:37,990
This is a beautiful piece of property 290 acres off of River Road that the county purchased

167
00:14:37,990 --> 00:14:39,270
about 20 years ago.

168
00:14:39,910 --> 00:14:45,050
And it's closed during Goldenshik Warler habitat breeding season, but that's now over.

169
00:14:45,730 --> 00:14:47,990
And so we have beautiful views out there, a trail.

170
00:14:48,830 --> 00:14:52,570
In order to go out there, you do need to make reservations, so on our website, we do have

171
00:14:52,570 --> 00:14:57,070
a reservation for the Morton Preserve, and we've had several reservations already made for

172
00:14:57,070 --> 00:14:58,210
the 2026 season.

173
00:14:58,690 --> 00:14:59,590
So just want to let people know.

174
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,600
So that it's not open to the public and people can go visit that visa property.

175
00:15:06,140 --> 00:15:07,340
Thank you, Mr. Boyd.

176
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:20,160
Good morning. Good morning. Robert Slegzer, a little longer than mine, so he beat me.

177
00:15:20,860 --> 00:15:26,000
So my dad used to say, do you want the good news or the bad news first? So I guess we'll start with the bad news.

178
00:15:26,140 --> 00:15:33,580
We're still seeing a lot of rabies in come out county, along with a lot of contact with individuals.

179
00:15:33,580 --> 00:15:39,900
So we're wanting to just get that word out for everybody to not interact with wild animals.

180
00:15:41,100 --> 00:15:44,500
And we've seen it in bat cat fox and raccoon.

181
00:15:45,420 --> 00:15:53,940
I know this city has, I believe, calls their federal cat collection because of it.

182
00:15:53,940 --> 00:15:57,460
And I'm working closely with Brian Ruiz and the city on that.

183
00:15:58,580 --> 00:16:00,360
So that's kind of the bad news.

184
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:07,240
The good news is we had a very successful back to school clinic at Public Health and in July

185
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:15,740
we saw 72 children in August we saw 154 children for a total of 226 kids getting their

186
00:16:15,740 --> 00:16:25,260
back to school vaccines. The total vaccines are 348. We also have ordered our fluval that

187
00:16:25,260 --> 00:16:31,200
will be a Trabailant flu vaccine, and it should be in within the next two weeks, so as soon

188
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,400
as that's available, we'll let you know.

189
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:34,820
Thank you.

190
00:16:35,100 --> 00:16:35,840
Thank you.

191
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,960
I heard it was someone's birthday today.

192
00:16:41,900 --> 00:16:45,180
Chief Jones, do you like us to sing?

193
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:46,580
Happy birthday.

194
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:50,940
Any other reports by county staff are elected officials?

195
00:16:52,340 --> 00:16:52,360
Okay.

196
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,040
We'll go back into our action agenda item now.

197
00:16:55,040 --> 00:17:00,460
We will begin with item number three, which is a public hearing on the proposed 2026 tax rate.

198
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:05,100
We have a few slides to present before we open this up for public comment.

199
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:10,420
So you've seen these slides, commissioners, and the public.

200
00:17:11,260 --> 00:17:17,480
This is our proposed tax rate. Thank you. It also shows the no new revenue rate and our voter approval rate.

201
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:23,700
Again, in conversations from our past couple of meetings, our proposed tax rate for 2027.

202
00:17:23,700 --> 00:17:32,640
A 26 tax bills, but to fund the fiscal year 27 is 0.030, I'm sorry, 0.0305015.

203
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,880
Here's a broken down by the individual funds.

204
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:45,900
Again, this chart that shows the history, the tenure history of our tax rate.

205
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,960
So again, this is the same tax rate that we had last year.

206
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:50,600
We're proposing.

207
00:17:52,060 --> 00:17:53,580
Here's a chart of comparisons.

208
00:17:53,580 --> 00:18:00,220
These counties are either comparable in size and population or comparable in their growth pattern.

209
00:18:00,620 --> 00:18:02,600
Certainly they're not always apples to apples.

210
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:07,920
This gives a good visual of some of our neighbors, neighboring counties and what those tax rates are.

211
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:15,000
And I do like to point out that I think our county for many years has been quite conservative on our tax rate.

212
00:18:16,900 --> 00:18:24,140
And then just a reminder, our public hearing and our date to adopt the budget would be taken on.

213
00:18:24,140 --> 00:18:33,200
September 17th in this room at 8.30 a.m. So we will now open up the public hearing on the proposed

214
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:38,160
2026 tax rate. Is there anyone here that would like to address the court?

215
00:18:42,910 --> 00:18:43,430
Seeing none,

216
00:18:43,650 --> 00:18:49,990
we will close the public hearing. Going to item number four, which is discussing consider final

217
00:18:49,990 --> 00:18:57,390
Platt Approval of Colmong Elementary, number 22, and Replatt, a lot 908, Meyer Ranch, Unit 16,

218
00:18:58,030 --> 00:19:04,590
except dedication of right away to the public, a long-south-creen's mill road, approve the variance request,

219
00:19:05,030 --> 00:19:13,790
accepting construction bond, number K-4222-188-0-Sherity for road construction and stormwater drainage improvements

220
00:19:13,790 --> 00:19:16,530
and authorize the county judge to sign. Good morning.

221
00:19:16,530 --> 00:19:18,290
Good morning, Judge Concerning.

222
00:19:19,050 --> 00:19:22,970
My Ranch continues to develop out there, and there's a little addition there.

223
00:19:23,250 --> 00:19:28,130
You can see in the vicinity map over there, kind of where's located off Saints, South

224
00:19:28,130 --> 00:19:33,290
Crane's middle, and then the right exhibit shows the plat of the existing My Ranch 16 that

225
00:19:33,290 --> 00:19:35,770
we are going to replat with some additional acreage.

226
00:19:36,390 --> 00:19:46,510
So this exhibit here kind of shows that we've got two players in this, the ISD had to be

227
00:19:46,510 --> 00:19:51,690
to replat this and we've been working with them since December on this and we've finally got a good plat here.

228
00:19:52,330 --> 00:19:56,570
You can see the plat there, the school is going to mean that lot, I know you've seen some construction out there already.

229
00:19:57,050 --> 00:19:59,550
They're out there, you know, just doing rough grading and get things.

230
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:15,440
Ready for building the school out there. You can see we do have some roads that are proposed. We do have the main road getting out to South Korean's mill and also a little road that would feed kind of vehicular movements within the school.

231
00:20:16,260 --> 00:20:25,860
We do have one variance. We do are showing two here but with some clarification from Peg Dawson that we do not need the building setback.

232
00:20:25,860 --> 00:20:30,920
There was a little encroachment of a potential retaining wall if they thought they might need it in

233
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:45,460
In clarification of just regrating. They were able to to remove that. So all we're looking for today is a variance to our right away and I want to clarify that not all the rows are being buried from we do have them in the orange there would do have the 60 foot right away, which would meet our typical.

234
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:50,520
And then we have the variance there for 50 feet on the backside of the school

235
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:54,980
Um, this plot, because it's a reply out of my ranch, we would consider a grandfather to

236
00:20:54,980 --> 00:21:00,500
old rules that came in, uh, in December, uh, so it gives a little flexibility there,

237
00:21:00,500 --> 00:21:04,400
but they are looking to be consistent with, uh, most of the local roads there for that

238
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:05,600
50 footer.

239
00:21:06,220 --> 00:21:09,600
Um, we do have the bond in place, and our recommendation is to bring this plot.

240
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:11,140
Move to approve action.

241
00:21:11,220 --> 00:21:15,560
Gender item number four with the change indicated that there's no need for building setback

242
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:15,880
variants.

243
00:21:16,780 --> 00:21:16,960
Second.

244
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:26,320
Motion by Commissioner Leacock with a second by Commissioner Haunt to approve action, and I'm number four, excluding the variance for building set back.

245
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:32,020
Any discussion? All those in favor please raise your right hand. Motion carries.

246
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:40,960
Item five, discussing considering acknowledging the completion of construction of earthwork, site work, water and wastewater within May Fair parcel EA3,

247
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:47,900
3, lot 1R, 2R and 3, lot 81, and release the Associated Shirti Construction Bond.

248
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:52,360
Number S-U-R, 4, 00, 7, 6, 2.

249
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,520
Also here are my make our continues to expand out there.

250
00:21:57,100 --> 00:22:00,300
This is a plaque and has some associated utility work.

251
00:22:00,780 --> 00:22:05,200
There was no associated county improvements are being accepted, so we're holding a bond at

252
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:06,960
the city presented to us just for utilities.

253
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:11,460
We did have verification, everything was complete, and our recommendation is to release the

254
00:22:11,460 --> 00:22:12,520
surety for those utilities.

255
00:22:13,180 --> 00:22:13,960
Good to approve action.

256
00:22:14,180 --> 00:22:15,480
Get on number five.

257
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:19,640
Second, there's a motion to approve action, and I have number five by Commissioner Webb,

258
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,160
with a second by Commissioner Crown-Ever, any discussion?

259
00:22:23,340 --> 00:22:26,520
All those in favorite please raise your right hand, motion carries.

260
00:22:27,620 --> 00:22:31,440
Item six, discuss and consider final plat approval of the vacate and replant of

261
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:36,940
lots six, Canyon Lake Island, establishing Fisherman's not subdivision, lots one

262
00:22:36,940 --> 00:22:41,120
to approve variance requests and authorize the county judge to sign.

263
00:22:42,540 --> 00:22:44,800
We're working with this property owner for quite a while.

264
00:22:44,900 --> 00:22:47,220
Here he has a lot there. He can see north of the lake.

265
00:22:48,360 --> 00:22:51,180
Immediately the final flat there on the right.

266
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:53,240
This is made up of two pieces.

267
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:55,080
A property one was a plated lot.

268
00:22:55,260 --> 00:22:59,320
And one was acreage unplated from back in the 60s along the lake there.

269
00:22:59,780 --> 00:23:01,040
So we wanted to put those together.

270
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:09,460
And he acquired the raw acreage, and with that raw acreage there was an easement to the property owner's association that was using utilizing that.

271
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:18,540
So this plaque came about for two reasons to provide him just a contiguous piece of property as well as provide access that the HOA could own.

272
00:23:19,260 --> 00:23:25,860
And so I'll get to that.

273
00:23:25,860 --> 00:23:32,520
two, it's less than an acre. And we do have notes in equivalent protection for that. I'll

274
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:37,340
show here in a second. But this lot, too, highlighted in red, is strictly for the access

275
00:23:37,340 --> 00:23:43,820
down to the lake. I need to work to deal with the HOA after this plat to sell that. And so on

276
00:23:43,820 --> 00:23:47,540
the plat, we also have those notes showing that we have no habitable structures, which would

277
00:23:47,540 --> 00:23:53,200
be equivalent protection for, you know, this variance to have, you know, sort of facilities,

278
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:58,020
no house could be ever be put on there as strictly for access. So after working with him for a long time,

279
00:23:58,120 --> 00:24:00,280
you have recommendations to approve this plan, everything's in place.

280
00:24:02,060 --> 00:24:04,120
Move to approve action agenda item number six.

281
00:24:05,540 --> 00:24:10,220
If the motion by Commissioner Cone over the second by Commissioner Web to approve action agenda item number six.

282
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:10,940
Any discussion?

283
00:24:12,460 --> 00:24:15,460
All those in favor please raise your right hand. Motion carries.

284
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:16,740
Thank you. Thank you.

285
00:24:17,940 --> 00:24:22,680
Item seven review and approve the Como County Marking Retro Reflectivity Plan.

286
00:24:29,380 --> 00:24:33,760
This is in the required by FHWA to be in place by September 6.

287
00:24:34,020 --> 00:24:38,220
We had a similar report that came forward to commission support several years ago for sign

288
00:24:38,220 --> 00:24:39,000
Retro Relativity.

289
00:24:39,900 --> 00:24:42,160
This is for pavement markings and striping.

290
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:46,940
And so this plan applies to roads that have an ADT of 1,6,000 vehicles per day

291
00:24:46,940 --> 00:24:50,300
and then an average of 35 miles per hour as a speed limit on those roads.

292
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:54,040
That encompasses all of our major thoroughfares that we have throughout the county

293
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:57,020
and then we enter GIS group, go and identify all the roads

294
00:24:57,840 --> 00:24:59,580
Well, if I'm the plan that has...

295
00:25:02,460 --> 00:25:10,260
So, with the water-based paints, it has an average life, a zero point of six months to three years, and so we're going to replace this, the striping every 24 months.

296
00:25:11,140 --> 00:25:20,640
We are GIS group, we're able to monitor, when we do this type of work, and we're able to put that marker right in there, so that we can come back within two years, replace the striping on this necessary roads.

297
00:25:22,060 --> 00:25:27,940
I want to also talk about, we get lots of requests for striping in general on roads, everyone wants striping on the roads for whatever reason.

298
00:25:27,940 --> 00:25:39,580
And so within Mutsid, in order for us to put a stripe out there, it has to have less than 20 feet of pavement or 20 feet of pavement and more than 4,000 ADT.

299
00:25:39,900 --> 00:25:42,940
And so those are the requirements we're talking about outside of this plan.

300
00:25:43,360 --> 00:25:49,320
I want to make sure I'm always aware of that these the standards we're looking at when we're looking to put stripe in on the road there.

301
00:25:49,740 --> 00:25:53,440
So we recommend approval of this plan and to go forward.

302
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,600
Move to approve action to agenda item number seven.

303
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:00,380
There's a motion by Commissioner Hogg with a second by Commissioner Lee

304
00:26:00,380 --> 00:26:02,820
Clark to approve action agenda item number seven.

305
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:03,640
Any discussion?

306
00:26:04,220 --> 00:26:04,660
Questions?

307
00:26:05,260 --> 00:26:07,440
All those in favor please raise your right hand.

308
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:08,760
Motion carries.

309
00:26:10,420 --> 00:26:13,440
Item eight discussing consider approval of a proposal from DHJB

310
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:15,220
Development LLC.

311
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:19,220
The Comount County accepts the public dedication of a portion of Johnson

312
00:26:19,220 --> 00:26:23,840
way within Johnson Ranch unit one, Johnson Way, and assume maintenance responsibilities

313
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:27,600
of said roads and direct the county engineer to take appropriate action.

314
00:26:28,020 --> 00:26:29,760
Judge your commissioners, I want to provide a little bit of background.

315
00:26:30,300 --> 00:26:34,320
This is on Johnson Ranch over off 1863 over in the Bolverte area.

316
00:26:35,380 --> 00:26:38,760
Johnson Way goes from 1863 up towards 21.

317
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:42,280
And there's a portion that is not county maintained of Johnson Way.

318
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,800
The two sides outside of that are both county maintained and I want to go through a history

319
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,100
of how we got to this point here.

320
00:26:48,100 --> 00:27:10,780
This section was plated back in April of 2014, and at that time we had an illical agreement and we still had an illical agreement with Bill Verdi, but at the time, Bill Verdi was responsible for the plating in that area, and they were required to provide a surety to the county within 10 days of the subdivision platform had been approved, and in this case our office never received a surety for that subdivision.

321
00:27:10,780 --> 00:27:15,780
The reason that's important is because when we went out and did our inspections of the road, we found there were deficiencies.

322
00:27:15,940 --> 00:27:23,780
Typically, we have an asserting in place, we will call the surety and have the developer or have the surety company pay for the improvements that are in the compliance.

323
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:26,920
In this case, we didn't have that opportunity to do so.

324
00:27:27,340 --> 00:27:32,220
And so since that time since 2014, this has been essentially a private road.

325
00:27:33,340 --> 00:27:36,980
And so within Johnson Way, we have county maintain portions on the other side of that.

326
00:27:36,980 --> 00:27:40,580
but in a section in the middle that we have not touched because it's not a county-maintained

327
00:27:40,580 --> 00:27:47,700
road. We received a request in July from DHJB to have the county take over that road under

328
00:27:47,700 --> 00:27:53,840
transportation code chapter 253 and I want to go through what that looks like. So 153 that's a

329
00:27:53,840 --> 00:28:00,840
proposal for the county to improve a road and assess the cost to the neighbors that are adjacent to the road.

330
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:06,840
And so, this is the process, there'll be a notice, a newspaper, a general circulation twice,

331
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:13,160
a public hearing, a ballot of each record owner of the property that would be assessed,

332
00:28:13,660 --> 00:28:15,080
results of the vote, and the assessments of cost.

333
00:28:15,100 --> 00:28:17,640
That's all laid out within chapter 253.

334
00:28:18,420 --> 00:28:22,840
So, in this case, there's two property owners, DHJB in Johnson Ranch, HOA,

335
00:28:24,060 --> 00:28:27,040
that owned the four properties that adjacent to the section of Johnson Way.

336
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:33,460
We've received letters from both DHJB and from the Homeland Association that are supporting this process.

337
00:28:34,260 --> 00:28:40,640
I had our road department put together a cost of what it would cost to do the work on this road to bring it up to county standards,

338
00:28:41,180 --> 00:28:43,180
and that cost $175,000.

339
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:54,520
If this moves forward and if the ballot was passed, then on the day that happens, the court would assess those costs to the, in this case,

340
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:59,080
D.H.J.B. into the Johnson Ranch Homers Association.

341
00:29:00,020 --> 00:29:02,140
And so we've received a letter from D.H.J.J.B.

342
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:04,660
saying that within seven days of that vote happening,

343
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:08,140
they would provide a payment of $175,000 to cover the cost.

344
00:29:08,860 --> 00:29:11,460
And then at that point, that section of Johnson Way

345
00:29:11,460 --> 00:29:12,780
would become county maintained.

346
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,980
And we would maintain that whole section of Johnson Way at the same time,

347
00:29:16,180 --> 00:29:18,800
which we're looking at in the 2027 or 2028.

348
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,860
And that way we're able to do the entire section of Johnson Way

349
00:29:21,860 --> 00:29:25,060
instead of just doing two sections and skipping over the middle part.

350
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:30,520
And so we think it's a plan that could be executed and what we're looking for today's

351
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:35,440
authorised my office to start that process of following the chapter 253 to conclude this

352
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:36,300
to a part of the road.

353
00:29:39,270 --> 00:29:41,390
Move to approve action agenda item number eight.

354
00:29:41,950 --> 00:29:42,330
On the second.

355
00:29:42,970 --> 00:29:47,270
Good motion by Commissioner Hog with a second by Commissioner McCock to approve action agenda

356
00:29:47,270 --> 00:29:48,710
item number eight.

357
00:29:49,010 --> 00:29:51,190
Any discussion or questions from Mr. Boyd?

358
00:29:51,190 --> 00:29:54,610
Robert, I appreciate all the work that you and the road department have done on this.

359
00:29:54,750 --> 00:29:59,270
I know it's taken some time, but I think the end results will be definitely worth it.

360
00:29:59,330 --> 00:29:59,590
Yes, sir.

361
00:30:01,230 --> 00:30:07,170
All those in favour please raise your right hand. Motion carries. Thank you. Thank you.

362
00:30:07,670 --> 00:30:13,010
Item 9 discussing consider approval of the request for additional funding for Department of State Health Services,

363
00:30:13,010 --> 00:30:23,470
contract, number HHS, 001, 3111, 001, under the Center for Health, Emergency, Preparedness,

364
00:30:23,530 --> 00:30:28,050
and Response for the Col. County Public Health Department and Authorized Public Health

365
00:30:28,050 --> 00:30:29,250
Director to submit.

366
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:33,660
Good morning.

367
00:30:36,810 --> 00:30:43,650
So Michelle and I were on a call with our State Partners last week about a possible increased

368
00:30:43,650 --> 00:30:52,830
our award for this grant, and that would increase right now our contract is $495,088,

369
00:30:53,770 --> 00:30:57,010
and it will expire November 30th of 2027.

370
00:30:59,090 --> 00:31:04,950
So our request for additional funding is reflective of the final year award, which is 2027.

371
00:31:05,810 --> 00:31:13,630
It runs from December 1 till November 30th, and the increase that we've asked for is 44th

372
00:31:13,630 --> 00:31:21,370
and $854 dollars so that would bring our total to $2.30, $9.942.

373
00:31:22,570 --> 00:31:31,410
We have requested that to extend this position, also some monies for training and supplies.

374
00:31:33,250 --> 00:31:35,210
And I respectfully ask for your approval.

375
00:31:41,610 --> 00:31:46,010
We have a motion by Commissioner Hogg with a second by Commissioner Leecock to approve action agenda.

376
00:31:46,110 --> 00:31:49,990
I am number nine. Any discussion or questions for Mr. Major?

377
00:31:50,110 --> 00:31:51,910
Can you clarify for me what position this is?

378
00:31:52,550 --> 00:31:55,890
This is the public health infrastructure grant.

379
00:31:57,030 --> 00:31:57,730
For what position?

380
00:31:58,350 --> 00:31:59,570
Use of those is funding a position.

381
00:32:00,030 --> 00:32:05,690
So it is right now trying to think of the proper title.

382
00:32:05,690 --> 00:32:14,220
I believe it is the immunization grant coordinator.

383
00:32:20,410 --> 00:32:22,330
So we have a motion in a second area of the discussion.

384
00:32:22,950 --> 00:32:24,750
All those in favor please raise your right hand.

385
00:32:25,090 --> 00:32:25,930
Motion carries.

386
00:32:27,010 --> 00:32:28,050
Thank you.

387
00:32:28,050 --> 00:32:28,470
Thank you.

388
00:32:28,710 --> 00:32:32,230
Item 10 discussing consider acceptance of grant award under the fiscal year,

389
00:32:32,330 --> 00:32:37,110
27 students the prevention grant program through the Office of the Governor and the amount of

390
00:32:37,110 --> 00:32:41,250
$30,000 to support the student and family empowerment program,

391
00:32:41,250 --> 00:32:43,890
counseling services and authorized county judge

392
00:32:43,890 --> 00:32:45,830
just signed via electronic acceptance.

393
00:32:46,510 --> 00:32:48,630
Good morning Judge, good morning commissioners.

394
00:32:48,630 --> 00:32:50,190
Thank you for your attention this morning.

395
00:32:50,730 --> 00:32:54,310
This is what you've seen before in a recommendation

396
00:32:54,310 --> 00:32:57,430
from our department for you and the court

397
00:32:57,430 --> 00:33:00,470
to accept this grant from the Office of the Governor,

398
00:33:00,810 --> 00:33:04,230
specifically for our Student and Family Empowerment Program,

399
00:33:04,790 --> 00:33:07,870
which provides contract therapy to our kids

400
00:33:07,870 --> 00:33:09,210
in this prevention effort.

401
00:33:09,210 --> 00:33:25,290
We think this has had lots of traction over the years and we're very fortunate to have received this competitive grant again this year with the help of our good colleagues Michelle Valadez in the back row and our other partners at the auditor's office.

402
00:33:25,750 --> 00:33:27,590
We recommend for your approval.

403
00:33:27,590 --> 00:33:28,750
Who have to approve action agenda?

404
00:33:29,530 --> 00:33:29,930
Second.

405
00:33:31,810 --> 00:33:33,890
The motion to approve action agenda at number 10,

406
00:33:34,030 --> 00:33:35,210
by Commissioner Lee Kock with a second

407
00:33:35,210 --> 00:33:36,290
by Commissioner Crown over.

408
00:33:36,530 --> 00:33:37,890
Any discussion or questions?

409
00:33:39,270 --> 00:33:41,230
All those in favor please raise your right hand.

410
00:33:41,770 --> 00:33:42,390
Motion carries.

411
00:33:43,110 --> 00:33:43,990
Thank you.

412
00:33:46,030 --> 00:33:48,490
I am 11 discussing consider award of bid

413
00:33:48,490 --> 00:33:53,530
to 026-1144 for bulk asphalt patching material

414
00:33:53,530 --> 00:33:56,970
and authorize purchasing agent to execute all related documents.

415
00:33:57,390 --> 00:33:57,950
Good morning, Judge.

416
00:33:57,950 --> 00:34:07,210
We had three responses to May 26, 11, 14, and we are recommending a word to asphalt patch

417
00:34:07,210 --> 00:34:07,750
enterprises.

418
00:34:12,450 --> 00:34:15,990
There's a motion to approve action agenda, I don't know if we're 11, but I

419
00:34:15,990 --> 00:34:20,910
can really talk with a second by Commissioner Hogg, any discussion, all those in favor, please

420
00:34:20,910 --> 00:34:23,210
raise your right hand, motion carries.

421
00:34:23,210 --> 00:34:29,270
Item 12, discussing consider approval of the evaluation committee to evaluate responses received

422
00:34:29,270 --> 00:34:38,130
for requests for qualifications for a RFQ-26-530 professional engineering services pre-qualification

423
00:34:38,130 --> 00:34:46,560
pool and B RFQ-2026-540 professional architectural services pre-qualification pool.

424
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:59,520
We received responses for both RFQ 2026-530 and 2026-540 and are asking for approval for the evaluation committee to include Marcus Pacheco.

425
00:35:16,240 --> 00:35:28,240
We have a motion by Commissioner Leicoc with a second by Commissioner Hong to approve action agenda. I am number 12, A and B. Any discussion? All those in favor please raise your right hand. Motion carries.

426
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:37,620
Item 13 discussing and consider selection for requests for qualifications, 2226-570 executive

427
00:35:37,620 --> 00:35:42,000
recruitment services and authorized county purchasing agent to negotiate contract.

428
00:35:44,350 --> 00:35:49,450
On August 27, we had the evaluation committee approved.

429
00:35:50,770 --> 00:35:57,230
The evaluation committee found this score of McKinsey-Eason as the highest at 99% and we are

430
00:35:57,230 --> 00:35:59,990
requesting the purchasing agent to begin the negotiations.

431
00:36:01,970 --> 00:36:06,290
The group of actions in Ion number 13 selecting Mackenzie Eason and authorizing the

432
00:36:06,290 --> 00:36:09,050
person's agent to initiate contract negotiations.

433
00:36:09,950 --> 00:36:14,130
Second, we have a motion by Commissioner Webb with a second by Commissioner Crown Over

434
00:36:14,130 --> 00:36:15,410
to approve action agenda.

435
00:36:15,450 --> 00:36:21,950
I have number 13, approve Mackenzie Eason and authorizing the person's agent to proceed

436
00:36:21,950 --> 00:36:23,210
with contract negotiations.

437
00:36:24,070 --> 00:36:25,590
Any discussion or questions?

438
00:36:25,590 --> 00:36:29,590
All those in favour please raise your right hand motion carries.

439
00:36:30,650 --> 00:36:32,010
Thank you.

440
00:36:32,310 --> 00:36:36,290
Item 14 discussing consider approval of the purchase of two ballistic shields by

441
00:36:36,290 --> 00:36:40,550
Constable precinct two using the Justice Court Security Fund.

442
00:36:41,390 --> 00:36:42,070
One question.

443
00:36:43,790 --> 00:36:46,990
Requesting two shields for the JP2 office.

444
00:36:47,510 --> 00:36:49,150
This is the hand for the court.

445
00:36:49,150 --> 00:36:56,750
You know, our building being a multi-use building, we have open carries that can come in and out of the building.

446
00:36:58,050 --> 00:37:06,070
And we have voting and everything else and definitely gives us another tool to have to protect ourselves.

447
00:37:06,930 --> 00:37:10,690
Okay, so even if somebody even made a run at the court.

448
00:37:11,850 --> 00:37:16,790
Of course, we are mandated to have at least one.

449
00:37:16,790 --> 00:37:22,510
and we've been trying to buy one for a year and a half now and I just couldn't see $8,000

450
00:37:22,510 --> 00:37:29,710
shields for what we need, but these are rifle resistant, in other words, they will stop the rifle

451
00:37:29,710 --> 00:37:37,230
round. So I think they're a good buy. They don't give me the $1,000 light on it, and all that,

452
00:37:37,230 --> 00:37:44,370
all the, I call, food food, all the add-on to it, but it meets the basic needs.

453
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,780
We've approved action agenda at a number 14.

454
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:55,100
Emotion by Commissioner Hogg with a second by Commissioner Leacog to approve action agenda at a number 14.

455
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:56,180
Any discussion?

456
00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:59,000
All those in favour please raise your right hand.

457
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:00,460
Motion carries.

458
00:38:01,100 --> 00:38:01,920
Thank you, Constable.

459
00:38:03,660 --> 00:38:09,700
Item 15 discussing consider modification to agreement between US immigration and customs enforcement and Col.

460
00:38:09,700 --> 00:38:14,140
County to hold inmates and ratify signature by Sheriff Mark Reynolds.

461
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:16,780
Good morning, Judge Commissioners.

462
00:38:16,780 --> 00:38:20,000
Too bad the person that came in with their public comment,

463
00:38:20,180 --> 00:38:21,580
it could have answered some of that.

464
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:25,420
I received this the email last week.

465
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:28,000
I want to say it was Monday or Tuesday.

466
00:38:29,020 --> 00:38:33,120
Inside the email it contained a comment that it had to have been signed

467
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:35,660
by the 19th.

468
00:38:35,720 --> 00:38:38,860
So I reached out to Timothy Barrett, the District Attorney's Office.

469
00:38:39,500 --> 00:38:42,540
He suggested that we go ahead and sign it

470
00:38:42,540 --> 00:38:50,580

Morning Judge and Commissioners. We've been previously notified by our medical contractor

00:40:35,460 --> 00:40:40,480
that we were getting close to the contractual cap for certain services that are included

497
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:46,460
in that contract. The main one in there is going to be our pharmaceutical cap so that's what

498
00:40:46,460 --> 00:40:50,880
allows us to pay further prescription medications for the inmates. The movement of these funds

499
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:55,500
