Mount Taber Baptist Church in Dallas,

Texas. And by the way, that is a

62
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:44,640
historical church that was a portal

63
00:10:43,872 --> 00:10:48,160
[clears throat]

64
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:50,959

in Houston, Texas under the mentorship

72
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:14,800
of the late Dr. Donald G. Burge, Senior.

73
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:17,120
This pivotable moment was the beginning

74
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:20,000
of a ministry that would spann over two

75
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:23,440
decades. For eight years, Pastor Walker

76
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:26,800

77
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:28,880

College. Pastor Walker is widely

83
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:44,480
regarded as a young man with an old

84
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:47,279
soul, a description that reflects his

85
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:50,160
unique ability to seamlessly connect

86
00:11:47,279 --> 00:11:52,880
with both emerging generation and

87
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:56,079
seasoned believers. His preaching is

88
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:58,720
characterized by its authenticity,

89
00:11:56,079 --> 00:12:02,000

90
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:04,720
and his ministry is fueled by a profound

91
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:08,320
love for God's word and an earnest

92
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:10,399
desire to see lives changed through the

93
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:12,959
power of the gospel. Beyond the pull

94
00:12:10,399 --> 00:12:15,760
pit, Pastor Walker finds his greatest

95
00:12:12,959 --> 00:12:19,600
joy and most meaningful accomplishment

96
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:21,760
in his role as a devoted husband to his

97
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:26,160
wife, Amber.

102

» Thank you.

103
00:12:33,279 --> 00:12:36,959
» Shall we pray?

104
00:12:35,519 --> 00:12:39,680
Eternal God, our father, how we thank

105
00:12:36,959 --> 00:12:41,200
you for the gift of another day and for

106
00:12:39,680 --> 00:12:44,160
the privilege that you've given us to

107
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:47,680
serve people, particularly the people of

108
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:49,839
Dallas County. We acknowledge you as the

109
00:12:47,680 --> 00:12:52,399
source of wisdom,

110
00:12:49,839 --> 00:12:55,279
as a God of justice, and a God who cares

111
00:12:52,399 --> 00:12:56,880
about the needs of people. And so God,

112
00:12:55,279 --> 00:13:00,160
in this moment, we pray now that you

113
00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:03,680
would help us to understand

114
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:05,279
the weight of being in this room

115
00:13:03,680 --> 00:13:09,760
to understand that the decisions that

116
00:13:05,279 --> 00:13:13,279
are made within these chambers far out

117
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:15,920
far far exceed these walls and impacts

118
00:13:13,279 --> 00:13:17,680
the lives of everyday people.

119
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:19,760
So with the weight of that assignment on

120
00:13:17,680 --> 00:13:24,079
our shoulders, we pray that you would

121
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:26,720
give us hearts that care, eyes that see,

122
00:13:24,079 --> 00:13:28,560
spirits willing to understand,

123
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:31,600
so that the decisions that are made will

124
00:13:28,560 --> 00:13:33,279
be decisions that are well-meaning, well

125
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:35,200
intended,

126
00:13:33,279 --> 00:13:36,800
and that will seek to do good for all

127
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:39,760
people.

128
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:41,519
Father, we pray for discernment, wisdom,

129
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:43,040
guidance,

130
00:13:41,519 --> 00:13:44,399
for anything that exceeds human

131
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,079
strength. We pray that you will remind

132
00:13:44,399 --> 00:13:49,680
us that your strength is made perfect in

133
00:13:46,079 --> 00:13:51,600
our weakness. We do not take lightly

134
00:13:49,680 --> 00:13:54,880
this privilege of public service that

135
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:57,760
you've given us. So help us to handle

136
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:59,519
this responsibility in a way that will

137
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:02,160
not only be beneficial to the people we

138
00:13:59,519 --> 00:14:03,839
serve, but that would be glorifying to

139
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:06,880
the God who gave us the privilege in the

140
00:14:03,839 --> 00:14:08,959
first place. These things we ask in the

141
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:10,720
name of your son, our savior Jesus the

142
00:14:08,959 --> 00:14:15,240
Christ. Amen.

143
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:15,240
» Amen. Thank you, pastor.

00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:43,279
The proposed budget is built on this

189
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:47,639
proposed rate of.24650.

190
00:16:43,279 --> 00:16:47,639
Um the proposed rate is.244650

191
00:16:47,759 --> 00:16:56,839
a difference of 0.009150 009150

192
00:16:51,759 --> 00:16:56,839
from the current rate of 21550.

193
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:09,760
So this slide represents the county's

194
00:17:07,120 --> 00:17:10,559
projected available resources across all

195
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:10,959
» Mr. Hicks.

196
00:17:10,559 --> 00:17:12,720
» Yes,

197
00:17:10,959 --> 00:17:14,640
» We all know you and love you, but

198
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:16,959
introduce yourself for the record.

199
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:18,720
» Thank you, sir. Uh Timothy Hicks, County

200
00:17:16,959 --> 00:17:20,799
Auditor.

201
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:23,199
This slide summarized the county's

202
00:17:20,799 --> 00:17:25,919
projected available resources across all

203
00:17:23,199 --> 00:17:29,120
major operating funds. The auditor

204
00:17:25,919 --> 00:17:32,559
office projects fiscal 2027 available

205
00:17:29,120 --> 00:17:33,600
resources of approximately 1.4

206
00:17:32,559 --> 00:17:37,280
1.45 [clears throat]

207
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:40,320
billion compared to 1.383

208
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:42,559
billion in the fiscal 2026 revised

209
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:45,840
estimate. That represents anro an

210
00:17:42,559 --> 00:17:49,799
increase of approximately seven 71.5

211
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:49,799
million or 5.17%.

212
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:54,760
Uh next slide.

213
00:17:55,120 --> 00:17:59,520
So commissioners, this is the most

214
00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:03,280
important financial indicator in today's

215
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:06,160
presentation. National credit agencies

216
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:08,480
closely evaluated unrestricted funds

217
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:10,640
because they measure an organization's

218
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:12,799
ability to manage economic

219
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:15,440
uncertainties, emergencies, and

220
00:18:12,799 --> 00:18:17,840
unexpected financial pressures. The

221
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:20,080
county has established a long-term goal

222
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:23,840
of achieving unrestricted

223
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:26,240
re uh unrestricted resources equal to 11

224
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:29,919
uh 10.5%

225
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:34,000
of general funds expenditures

226
00:18:29,919 --> 00:18:37,360
based on evaluations and feedback from

227
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:40,640
the credit reg a agencies u we feel like

228
00:18:37,360 --> 00:18:44,000
uh they have indicated that 20% is a

229
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:45,120
good um indicator of where the Dallas

230
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:49,919
County should

231
00:18:45,120 --> 00:18:51,919
And why this is important? Um because

232
00:18:49,919 --> 00:18:53,600
strong reserves improve financial

233
00:18:51,919 --> 00:18:56,320
flexibility,

234
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:58,880
protect essential county services during

235
00:18:56,320 --> 00:19:01,360
economic downturn, reduces borrowing

236
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:04,080
costs and support favorable bond rating

237
00:19:01,360 --> 00:19:07,039
and demonstrate prudent financial

238
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:11,679
financial management. So we have laid

239
00:19:07,039 --> 00:19:14,960
out uh a reserve plan to reach 20% by

240
00:19:11,679 --> 00:19:15,840
fiscal uh 2031.

241
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:18,080
Next slide.

242
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:21,760
» Uh before you leave that the graph back

243
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:23,360
up the graph the 164 basically saying

244
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:23,919
what I think we talked about it a little

245
00:19:23,360 --> 00:19:24,960
bit.

246
00:19:23,919 --> 00:19:25,760
» Yes sir.

247
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,919
» What does that represent?

248
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:30,799
» So [clears throat] currently

249
00:19:27,919 --> 00:19:34,880
our res unrestricted reserve across all

250
00:19:30,799 --> 00:19:37,120
funds is at 16.4%.

251
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:40,080
So that's what that represents where we

252
00:19:37,120 --> 00:19:42,000
are currently.

253
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:44,720
» Thank you.

254
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:46,799
» Next slide.

255
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:49,840
» Good morning.

256
00:19:46,799 --> 00:19:52,400
This chart displays

257
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:54,240
» Good morning. [laughter] Miss

258
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,200
» My name is Dana Foster Allen, chief

259
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,280
fiscal officer.

260
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:59,840
» Okay. Thank you, ma'am. This chart

261
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:04,559
displays where the property tax dollar

262
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:06,720
goes um by agency or entity. Um of your

263
00:20:04,559 --> 00:20:12,080
total tafffty tax, excuse me, property

264
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:15,280
tax bill, 9.7% is Dallas County, 9.5% is

265
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:18,080
Parkland Hospital. 44.6%

266
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:20,000
goes to Dallas ISD. The city of Dallas

267
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,919
is 31.4%

268
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:24,640
with the remainder being Dallas College

269
00:20:21,919 --> 00:20:27,440
at 4.8%.

270
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:32,559
And this Miss Foster Allen in that

271
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:34,240
category is Dallas County is at 0.21,

272
00:20:32,559 --> 00:20:35,120
you know, tax rate.

273
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,840
» Correct.

274
00:20:35,120 --> 00:20:40,080
» Not this is based on last year 2025

275
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:44,080
information. Um, but we do not expect

276
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:45,360
that um overall that their rates will be

277
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,960
dramatically different or the

278
00:20:45,360 --> 00:20:47,760
proportionate will be dramatically

279
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:51,000
different.

280
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:51,000
» Thank you.

281
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:57,520
What's included in FI27 proposed budget

282
00:20:54,799 --> 00:20:59,200
for workforce compensation adjustments?

283
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:02,960
There's an insurance adjustment for

284
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:04,880
$12,000 per FTE and then 3% COLA

285
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:08,360
included for all workforce included

286
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:08,360
elected officials.

287
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:16,000
Roaden Bridge proposed allocation. Um we

288
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:17,760
will be doing a revised road and bridge

289
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:20,320
policy which will be included on the

290
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:23,440
August 11th agenda. What's included in

291
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:26,559
the FY27 proposed budget is Roaden

292
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:30,320
Bridge 1 3.6 million, Roaden Bridge 2

293
00:21:26,559 --> 00:21:36,120
3.8 million, road and bridge 3 9.4

294
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:36,120
million, road and bridge 4 5.7 million.

295
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:40,960
» And and the revised policy is to

296
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:43,039
represent what?

297
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:45,360
» The revised policy will represent the

298
00:21:43,039 --> 00:21:48,720
methodology that was used for the

299
00:21:45,360 --> 00:21:50,960
allocation for FY2027.

300
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:55,280
and [clears throat] and these uh

301
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:56,880
proposals have already captured

302
00:21:55,280 --> 00:22:00,320
um

303
00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:03,280
road and bridge through public works

304
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:06,080
with regards to what is going to be

305
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:08,080
required this year.

306
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:10,799
» So public works is the next slide but

307
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:14,400
this is all road and bridge related uh

308
00:22:10,799 --> 00:22:16,400
» Based on the unincorporated miles by

309
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:18,320
district and based on the number of

310
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:20,159
employees by a Yes,

311
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,400
» Road and bridge. That's what the formula

312
00:22:20,159 --> 00:22:22,240
is.

313
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:24,080
» Yes, this formula is just strictly with

314
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:28,120
road and bridge. The next slide Miss

315
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:28,120
Foster Allen would talk about.

316
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:36,240
Fiscal year 2027 budget also includes

317
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:39,120
major capital um allocations to public

318
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:42,320
works in amount of 43.5 million and

319
00:22:39,120 --> 00:22:44,799
facilities projects of 37 million. This

320
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:47,280
is in line with last year's um

321
00:22:44,799 --> 00:22:49,520
allocation. In addition, as the

322
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:53,039
commission is aware, we did issue debt

323
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:56,080
in amount of $350 million June the 2nd,

324
00:22:53,039 --> 00:22:57,679
and we have multiple capital projects in

325
00:22:56,080 --> 00:23:00,799
that. Specifically, we do have an

326
00:22:57,679 --> 00:23:03,679
additional $25 million that is for

327
00:23:00,799 --> 00:23:07,600
facility alone, though we have multiple

328
00:23:03,679 --> 00:23:10,919
facilities initiatives in the uh 2026

329
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,919
bond issuance.

330
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:19,520
Okay, next steps for proposed budget.

331
00:23:17,120 --> 00:23:21,520
August 11th, you're going to see we're

332
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:23,200
working on an accelerated schedule.

333
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:25,760
You're going to see hearings, tax rate,

334
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:28,320
and adoption of the budget. And then

335
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:30,159
regular schedule for Parkland Hospital

336
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:35,960
presentations are planned for August

337
00:23:30,159 --> 00:23:35,960
18th and September 1st. Thank you.

338
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,880
Okay.

339
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:50,080
I can appreciate the confidence. It's

340
00:23:46,559 --> 00:23:51,760
9:19. Since the agenda is suspended, is

341
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:55,520
there any any other question from any

342
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:56,880
other members of the court staff?

343
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:59,440
» No. Okay.

344
00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:02,799

through those numbers. So I too join

363

364
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:55,440
for because we couldn't move so that the

365
00:24:53,360 --> 00:24:58,159
record will be clear. We could not move

366
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:59,840
until we get those values and then begin

367
00:24:58,159 --> 00:25:02,480
to work through it.

368
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:03,760
and follow all the notices that have to

369
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:06,480
be done right

00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:10,320
» With a specific timeline. So, thank you

371
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:11,039
all for your hard work. I appreciate

372
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,120
» Right.

373
00:25:11,039 --> 00:25:15,679
» I appreciate you as well. Very much so.

374
00:25:13,120 --> 00:25:17,600
It was very well organized this year. I

375
00:25:15,679 --> 00:25:18,400
thought we did a much better way of

376
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,799
doing it. Thank you.

377
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:22,880
» And it shows when we have no questions.

378
00:25:20,799 --> 00:25:26,799
» That's right. Right. [laughter]

379
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:30,159
» Yeah. Great. Great job, team. Um

380
00:25:26,799 --> 00:25:33,200
uh now if someone wants to move for

381
00:25:30,159 --> 00:25:35,120
discussion court order two the Dallas

382
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:37,760
County notice of public hearing on

383
00:25:35,120 --> 00:25:42,880
Dallas County proposed tax rates for tax

384
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:47,039
year 2026 exceeding voter approval rate

385
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:48,559
VA and proposing a tax election TR.

386
00:25:47,039 --> 00:25:50,080
» I move

387
00:25:48,559 --> 00:25:53,520
» Well.

388
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:55,279
All right. But they're they're uh well,

389
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:58,679
okay, you're you moved. Is there a

390
00:25:55,279 --> 00:25:58,679
second to that?

391
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:03,679
Dr. Daniel, is there a second?

392
00:26:02,799 --> 00:26:05,120
» This is the

393
00:26:03,679 --> 00:26:07,039
» It's not going to be me. So,

394
00:26:05,120 --> 00:26:11,200
» It's definitely not going to be me.

395
00:26:07,039 --> 00:26:14,919
» And uh you know, judge, I got you

396
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:14,919
substitute for you.

397
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:23,520
» We don't have a second.

398
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:26,480
I'm I'm definitely cannot support uh not

399
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:28,320
even as a proposal a higher tax rate

400
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:32,000
when we have worked so hard for so many

401
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:35,200
years to lower this tax rate.

402
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:37,360
Well, it's not that the vote approval

403
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:38,720
rate is necessary

404
00:26:37,360 --> 00:26:41,760
» To go ahead and put

405
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:45,120
» And to proceed everything that budget

406
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:48,159
» And the auditor and CFO said, you know,

407
00:26:45,120 --> 00:26:51,919
those are core responsibilities of

408
00:26:48,159 --> 00:26:53,600
Dallas County and when we look at and as

409
00:26:51,919 --> 00:26:55,760
I said, we haven't even gotten into the

410
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:57,360
budget here.

411
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,480
That's

412
00:26:57,360 --> 00:27:01,279
I'm not there.

413
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:03,039
» I'm not either. And without looking at

414
00:27:01,279 --> 00:27:04,880
language and other issues that will have

415
00:27:03,039 --> 00:27:06,480
to go into the ballot exactly how

416
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:10,559
they're going to do and what we're going

417
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:12,559
to propose, I cannot in my good faith

418
00:27:10,559 --> 00:27:15,120
support this. I

419
00:27:12,559 --> 00:27:17,360
» I do support it and and I think it is

420
00:27:15,120 --> 00:27:18,720
» Well, we need a second before we got

421
00:27:17,360 --> 00:27:22,720
» That's a good point. Good point.

422
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:23,200
» You don't have a second that fails.

423
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:26,000
» Okay.

424
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:27,919
» So, for purposes of discussion, I'll

425
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:33,600
second uh

426
00:27:27,919 --> 00:27:35,279
» Uh this. There are uh a co a couple of

427
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:38,960
um

428
00:27:35,279 --> 00:27:41,039
options before us on this. Um and let me

429
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:44,159
just read these things uh into the

430
00:27:41,039 --> 00:27:46,960
record if I could. Um the first is

431
00:27:44,159 --> 00:27:50,159
approving uh homelessness

432
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:53,520
and uh public safety.

433
00:27:50,159 --> 00:27:55,039
Um and the second is approving only

434
00:27:53,520 --> 00:28:00,880
homelessness

435
00:27:55,039 --> 00:28:04,880
and um the homeless and public safety

436
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:08,760
uh would uh be approving an analorum tax

437
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:08,760
rate of up to.2590000

438
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:18,320
per 100 valuation

439
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:22,640
in the in county of Dallas for the

440
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:24,720
current year. a rate that is up to

441
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:28,399
0.0285 0285

442
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:30,960
higher per 100 valuation than the voter

443
00:28:28,399 --> 00:28:33,520
approval tax rate of Dallas of the

444
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:36,240
county of Dallas for the purpose of

445
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:38,240
funding programs that

446
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:40,559
measurably reduce homelessness and

447
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:43,200
resolve homeless encampments, increase

448
00:28:40,559 --> 00:28:45,360
access to mental health treatment,

449
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:48,559
support programs that provide stable

450
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:51,600
housing for Dallas County Poppers,

451
00:28:48,559 --> 00:28:54,720
and improve Dallas County public safety

452
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:59,360
services. Last year, the advalorum tax

453
00:28:54,720 --> 00:29:02,360
rate in Dallas County was

454
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,360
0.215500

455
00:29:05,279 --> 00:29:09,720
per 100 valuation.

456
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:13,360
Um,

457
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:16,159
the

458
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:17,440
uh

459
00:29:16,159 --> 00:29:21,840
Okay, I think that I think that's

460
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:23,600
everything I've got to say. Okay. Um

461
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:25,200
and and people in budget are shaking

462
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:27,679
their head that I have said everything I

463
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:28,880
have to say. Okay. So if I may

464
00:29:27,679 --> 00:29:31,440
» Discussion go ahead.

465
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:32,960
» Yes, if I may. You know, should we be

466
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,640
doing this is the question, you know,

467
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:36,640
should Dallas County be the one who

468
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,840
takes the lead here? And the answer is

469
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,520
yes.

470
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:41,520
» And the reason why is said in the

471
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:46,399
statutes that provide for the governance

472
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:48,159
of this county. Uh section 81.027 027 of

473
00:29:46,399 --> 00:29:50,000
the Texas local government code said

474
00:29:48,159 --> 00:29:52,159
that each commissioner may provide for

475
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:54,080
the support of poppers residents of

476
00:29:52,159 --> 00:29:57,120
their county who are unable to support

477
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:59,039
themselves. The state has pointed at us.

478
00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:02,399
They have said it's our duty, no one

479
00:29:59,039 --> 00:30:04,320
else's but ours. That responsibility is

480
00:30:02,399 --> 00:30:07,279
not just written in laws. It is also

481
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:09,520
written written in consciousness. It is

482
00:30:07,279 --> 00:30:11,840
also written in our county code. And let

483
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:14,240
me be clear, long before John Wally

484
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:16,399
Price ever got here, we had a section in

485
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:18,640
our county code dealing with it. It's

486
00:30:16,399 --> 00:30:21,760
section 5451.

487
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:23,440
It has such nonPC language in here, I

488
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:26,399
can't even begin to tell you. But still,

489
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:30,480
nonetheless, this is what the code, our

490
00:30:26,399 --> 00:30:35,840
county code, the rules that govern this

491
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:38,880
county say. Commissioner's Court shall

492
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:41,360
provide for the support of poppers and

493
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:44,159
such idiots and lunatics as cannot be

494
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:46,399
admitted into the lunatic asylum and

495
00:30:44,159 --> 00:30:49,279
residents of their counties who are

496
00:30:46,399 --> 00:30:51,039
unable to support themselves.

497
00:30:49,279 --> 00:30:53,279
» Clearly, we need to update the code.

498
00:30:51,039 --> 00:30:55,760
» Yes, we do. But this says the word

499
00:30:53,279 --> 00:30:59,520
shall. It says that this is our

500
00:30:55,760 --> 00:31:01,760
responsibility that not only us who have

501
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:04,720
the opportunity to revise this code but

502
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:07,440
also our predecessors have always stated

503
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:10,240
that it is our duty that we shall

504
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:12,559
provide for poppers that we shall

505
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:15,440
provide for the homeless. This is our

506
00:31:12,559 --> 00:31:17,039
duties and our responsibilities.

507
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:18,960
We've been charged with it with the

508
00:31:17,039 --> 00:31:22,000
health and safety code. We've been

509
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:26,240
charged with it by other means. We have

510
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:29,279
seen that our jail itself is overrun

511
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:32,080
with those who are homeless. We booked

512
00:31:29,279 --> 00:31:35,039
6,000 four unique unsheltered

513
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:38,000
individuals who repeatedly were booked

514
00:31:35,039 --> 00:31:40,559
back into the jail 5,728

515
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:42,960
times. Parkland Hospital, also in our

516
00:31:40,559 --> 00:31:45,120
charge, has 7,367

517
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:48,320
unique individuals who accounted for

518
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:51,200
52,000 visits because they have no place

519
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:54,000
to go and they repeatedly come in and

520
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:56,399
burden Parkland Hospital. We need to

521
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:58,559
only look at places like AT&T who we

522
00:31:56,399 --> 00:32:00,559
lost as a result of homelessness. It is

523
00:31:58,559 --> 00:32:03,200
diminished neighborhoods. The question

524
00:32:00,559 --> 00:32:05,919
is not whether we pay. The question is

525
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:09,279
whether we pay for failure or invest in

526
00:32:05,919 --> 00:32:11,440
success. A dedicated homeless tax is not

527
00:32:09,279 --> 00:32:13,760
charity. It's stewardship. It's

528
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:16,240
financial responsibility. It's public

529
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:19,679
safety. It's economic development. And

530
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:21,519
most of all, it's hope. But let us

531
00:32:19,679 --> 00:32:24,640
remember something equally important.

532
00:32:21,519 --> 00:32:27,279
This is not to ask you, Dr. Daniel, or

533
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:29,919
you Commissioner Price or Garcia or

534
00:32:27,279 --> 00:32:32,799
Judge. This is not to ask whether you

535
00:32:29,919 --> 00:32:34,320
will raise the tax. It is a decision

536
00:32:32,799 --> 00:32:36,399
that is to be made by the people of

537
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:37,919
Dallas County. Dallas County is to

538
00:32:36,399 --> 00:32:41,600
decide whether they should raise the

539
00:32:37,919 --> 00:32:43,200
tax. If we are truly trust our citizens,

540
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:45,840
then we must trust them with this

541
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:48,720
choice. Let them weigh the costs. Let

542
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:50,640
them measure the benefits. Let them

543
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:52,559
decide whether our county should make

544
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:55,120
dedicated investment in solving one of

545
00:32:52,559 --> 00:32:58,000
the greatest challenges we face. For

546
00:32:55,120 --> 00:33:00,640
generations before us, we have built

547
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:02,480
hospitals. We have built roads and parks

548
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:05,039
where children's play and institutions

549
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:07,120
that are strong for Dallas County. Now,

550
00:33:05,039 --> 00:33:10,399
it's time for us to make some history

551
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:12,399
and we should answer the call and we

552
00:33:10,399 --> 00:33:14,399
should trust our voters and I ask for

553
00:33:12,399 --> 00:33:16,559
your vote.

554
00:33:14,399 --> 00:33:19,919
» Thank you. Uh Judge, let me just say,

555
00:33:16,559 --> 00:33:22,320
you know, you know what a stretch.

556
00:33:19,919 --> 00:33:26,240
everybody for the most part that's

557
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:30,399
booked into the Dallas County Jail. Um,

558
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:34,080
midnight count, 94%

559
00:33:30,399 --> 00:33:36,559
and I would say of the 7,300

560
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:40,720
individuals who are in there, probably

561
00:33:36,559 --> 00:33:43,760
all of them meet some proper standard. I

562
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:47,519
think that uh and I and I don't I know

563
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:49,360
my colleague did not mean to insult us

564
00:33:47,519 --> 00:33:51,600
as though we haven't been taking care of

565
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:55,440
them when they come into our custody.

566
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:59,039
That's exactly what we do. But you know

567
00:33:55,440 --> 00:34:01,919
I I'm I'm concerned that we as I say in

568
00:33:59,039 --> 00:34:04,640
terms of our core responsibilities we're

569
00:34:01,919 --> 00:34:07,600
doing what we are supposed to do when

570
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:12,320
they come into our custody. It does not

571
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:15,520
say, you know, survey the land in terms

572
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:19,440
of finding all the poppers, poppers and

573
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:21,760
lunatics. Um, it does not say that. it

574
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:24,399
says basically when they basically when

575
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:27,520
they come in to our custody I mean the

576
00:34:24,399 --> 00:34:30,240
state of Texas also uh has

577
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:32,879
responsibility and we've seen that what

578
00:34:30,240 --> 00:34:36,560
they've done is basically handed that

579
00:34:32,879 --> 00:34:39,679
off to those of us at the local level.

580
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:41,440
So let's talk about you know popppers

581
00:34:39,679 --> 00:34:44,000
and lunatics

582
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:45,760
and and those and primarily people with

583
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:48,879
mental health disorder people who have

584
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:52,000
been adjudicated that the taxpayers of

585
00:34:48,879 --> 00:34:55,280
Dallas County that should be in state

586
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:59,040
custody the taxpayers of Dallas County

587
00:34:55,280 --> 00:35:03,440
take and we're having to service to the

588
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:07,520
tune of about $15 million annually. uh

589
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:10,960
most of them having a five to 600 day

590
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:14,000
stay in in in the in a Dallas County

591
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:16,800
jail. So, you know, I I hear all of that

592
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:18,720
and you know, you know, I'm not going to

593
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:21,280
hijack

594
00:35:18,720 --> 00:35:25,359
one issue, you know, over another. I

595
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:28,320
mean, that we we know TR basically came

596
00:35:25,359 --> 00:35:30,079
to this court uh by way of people

597
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:32,400
dealing with the whole child care thing.

598
00:35:30,079 --> 00:35:35,200
I've been I met with them like everybody

599
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:37,760
else has. We've been very we've had

600
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:40,560
hearings. We've been very clear about

601
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:42,960
what our positions are. We have a number

602
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:47,599
of core responsibility. We have a number

603
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:50,079
of core unfunded mandates, you know,

604
00:35:47,599 --> 00:35:53,920
that that the legislature continues to

605
00:35:50,079 --> 00:35:57,680
heap on us. And uh I I say with all of

606
00:35:53,920 --> 00:36:00,720
our partners that we continue to try to

607
00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:03,760
manage this uh you know the best we can.

608
00:36:00,720 --> 00:36:06,400
I'm I'm not willing to put this nor any

609
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:08,720
other TR issue before. The voter

610
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:12,400
approval rate is something that this

611
00:36:08,720 --> 00:36:15,119
county needs to be able to maintain the

612
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:20,000
responsibility that have been delegated

613
00:36:15,119 --> 00:36:23,920
to us by the state legislature. And as

614
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:26,880
you know in our um legislative

615
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:29,839
package, we continue to try to model and

616
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:32,079
do certain things to try to manage that

617
00:36:29,839 --> 00:36:35,599
population. But we said I think we've

618
00:36:32,079 --> 00:36:38,880
basically said the same thing to the uh

619
00:36:35,599 --> 00:36:41,440
to our u legislative delegation. Uh

620
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:45,760
we're willing to support probably on

621
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:48,800
both ends um some responsibility. I'm

622
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:50,880
not willing to offload that to the

623
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:53,119
citizens of Dallas County. You say,

624
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:56,480
"Well, give them a chance." That's the

625
00:36:53,119 --> 00:36:58,720
reason you're elected. I I don't I think

626
00:36:56,480 --> 00:37:02,960
we make the decisions

627
00:36:58,720 --> 00:37:06,720
that we are responsible for.

628
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:08,800
» And it's either a yes or a no basically.

629
00:37:06,720 --> 00:37:10,480
» Yes. And I just want to add,

630
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:13,839
Commissioner Summerman, I mean, and we

631
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:15,599
hear you and we respect your position,

632
00:37:13,839 --> 00:37:18,640
but nevertheless, we just look at

633
00:37:15,599 --> 00:37:20,880
budget. We just look Dallas County tax

634
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:24,400
rate. Dallas County has been very

635
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:27,040
responsible when it comes to what we

636
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:29,359
done for our citizens. We have one of

637
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:32,079
the lowest tax rates among bigger

638
00:37:29,359 --> 00:37:34,640
counties in the state of Texas. And look

639
00:37:32,079 --> 00:37:37,680
what we done in 10 years. And it's been

640
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:40,640
because we have been good stewards of

641
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:43,119
our taxpayers money. That's it. With

642
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:46,480
that being said, I also take a little

643
00:37:43,119 --> 00:37:49,200
bit of a hit when you say that we are

644
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:52,000
not making we are not doing our duty.

645
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:54,320
This court has always support the bridge

646
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:57,520
and the city of Dallas with homelessness

647
00:37:54,320 --> 00:38:00,160
issues. This county has passed last

648
00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:04,480
budget $6 million

649
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:06,880
and we still have additional $4 million

650
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:09,119
and we are committed to help you know

651
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:11,359
with the homeless forward group and the

652
00:38:09,119 --> 00:38:13,920
homeless issue. I mean there's been

653
00:38:11,359 --> 00:38:16,000
polls that talk about how people feel

654
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:18,960
about homelessness and we all want to

655
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:21,760
help. It's just when you do these

656
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:24,480
decisions and I agree with some of the

657
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:26,960
comments of Commissioner Price right now

658
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:29,520
when we're about to look at a big

659
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:33,440
project for Dallas County that is our

660
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:36,480
duty to build a new jail. We have to be

661
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:39,599
very conscientious more than any other

662
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:42,079
time when people are suffering right now

663
00:38:39,599 --> 00:38:45,520
with affordability. When people can

664
00:38:42,079 --> 00:38:48,480
afford gas, groceries, when people can

665
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:50,880
afford housing, when young people have

666
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:53,359
to wait until they're in their late 40s

667
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:55,280
to buy a new home, when we have the

668
00:38:53,359 --> 00:38:58,640
opportunity to do it when we were in our

669
00:38:55,280 --> 00:39:01,920
30s, I want that

670
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:04,960
American dream to continue to be there

671
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:08,320
for most of Dallas County residents. For

672
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:11,920
the first time in since I remember the

673
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:14,560
city of Dallas has lost population.

674
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:18,400
We want to tax them more if this passes

675
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:21,119
and to just close it. There's not a

676
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:23,680
definite plan of how this money is going

677
00:39:21,119 --> 00:39:26,000
to be used within Dallas County. And I

678
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:30,720
honestly don't think that at this point

679
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:34,880
Dallas County can afford to add another

680
00:39:30,720 --> 00:39:36,640
layer of

681
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:39,520
staff

682
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:43,280
to deal with an issue that I believe is

683
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:46,640
an issue that has to be solved

684
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:50,160
regionally and particularly by the state

685
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:52,720
of Texas because like we always say,

686
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:55,599
show me the money and I will do it. And

687
00:39:52,720 --> 00:39:57,839
right now we see no money coming from

688
00:39:55,599 --> 00:40:00,800
nowhere and I don't think it's fair that

689
00:39:57,839 --> 00:40:02,079
the taxpayers of Dallas have to pay for

690
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:03,520
this.

691
00:40:02,079 --> 00:40:06,000
» Thank you.

692
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:09,440
And I would say that there is no

693
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:11,040
coldness of heart of anybody on this

694
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:12,079
city up here at this table.

695
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:13,359
» I agree.

696
00:40:12,079 --> 00:40:14,640
» Yes.

697
00:40:13,359 --> 00:40:17,200
» And and the deal

698
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:19,839
» That there is an understanding

699
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:22,480
that there are needs of the residents of

700
00:40:19,839 --> 00:40:25,040
Dallas County that that I don't think is

701
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:28,079
something that that can even be uh

702
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:29,599
challenged here. But that all that being

703
00:40:28,079 --> 00:40:33,040
said,

704
00:40:29,599 --> 00:40:36,160
what is commissioners board's

705
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:39,040
responsibility to do

706
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:42,560
» And that's where the difference comes in

707
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:44,240
» Because as Commissioner Price has said

708
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:47,760
um we too have to have a balanced

709
00:40:44,240 --> 00:40:51,920
budget. We too have to look at how funds

710
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:54,800
are spent. We too have to look at um

711
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:57,280
where our priorities are.

712
00:40:54,800 --> 00:41:00,079
And I would say that this is one of

713
00:40:57,280 --> 00:41:02,960
those items that is incredibly painful

714
00:41:00,079 --> 00:41:07,200
for all of us.

715
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:10,319
because we do see the needs, but where

716
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:13,359
is the final responsibility?

717
00:41:10,319 --> 00:41:16,000
And I would question

718
00:41:13,359 --> 00:41:18,800
whether it is on Dallas County

719
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:20,319
government that final responsibility

720
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:23,520
lies.

721
00:41:20,319 --> 00:41:26,000
» So, and and I'm gonna finish up, judge.

722
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:28,640
You know, you know, where does it stop?

723
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:31,040
If the test is impoverished,

724
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:33,119
the nonprofits can line up on us.

725
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:35,839
Governance

726
00:41:33,119 --> 00:41:37,359
isn't a race for who can get the money

727
00:41:35,839 --> 00:41:40,000
first.

728
00:41:37,359 --> 00:41:43,520
Core responsibility

729
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:48,480
is the governance. I yield. Thank you.

730
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:50,319
So um to give you my thoughts um on this

731
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:53,440
um

732
00:41:50,319 --> 00:41:56,319
when I think about what issues are

733
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:58,319
important to Dallas County um all of

734
00:41:56,319 --> 00:41:59,680
these issues are important. Right? If

735
00:41:58,319 --> 00:42:01,280
someone's in health care, they would say

736
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:03,040
that's the most important thing. If

737
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:05,359
you're in education, you'd say that's

738
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:09,520
the most important thing. But when I

739
00:42:05,359 --> 00:42:12,800
look at it from the standpoint of

740
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:14,240
um what's the most important thing, I

741
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:16,240
would say the most important thing in

742
00:42:14,240 --> 00:42:19,520
Dallas County right now is not

743
00:42:16,240 --> 00:42:22,160
shrinking, but rather growing because

744
00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:26,640
the city of Dallas shrunk last year in

745
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:28,880
population and they're in a a budget

746
00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:30,880
tightness because of that. We do

747
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:32,800
» And the county shrunk a little bit as

748
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:34,800
well even though we're in the fastest

749
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:38,800
growing combined metropolitan area in

750
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:41,440
the country. And so when we look at

751
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:43,920
um drivers of that, and there are

752
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:46,560
several drivers of that, but one of the

753
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:48,960
drivers of that is when families and

754
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:50,720
businesses are choosing where to

755
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:52,880
relocate,

756
00:42:50,720 --> 00:42:56,400
many of them are not choosing downtown

757
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:59,040
Dallas or parts of Irving or parts of

758
00:42:56,400 --> 00:43:00,800
Grand Prairie or parts of Richardson or

759
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:04,720
North Dallas

760
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:07,520
um because of a perception on their part

761
00:43:04,720 --> 00:43:10,960
that uh

762
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:13,200
the quality of life and the um public

763
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:16,720
safety is better in places where they

764
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:20,800
don't see homeless encampments. So that

765
00:43:16,720 --> 00:43:23,119
is one thing that I'm thinking of. The

766
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:25,440
other thing that I'm thinking of is uh

767
00:43:23,119 --> 00:43:27,599
when Mike Rawlings came to me, who was a

768
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:29,680
former mayor of Dallas years ago, and

769
00:43:27,599 --> 00:43:34,720
said, "Let's set up a committee between

770
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:36,640
the county and the the city um to end

771
00:43:34,720 --> 00:43:40,160
homelessness."

772
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:44,000
Uh and I asked Dr. Daniel to chair that

773
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:45,760
committee and she did a uh until uh

774
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:50,400
their term limits on the committee until

775
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:52,640
the term limit uh ended. And um that

776
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:54,640
committee did a lot of great work. But

777
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:57,359
what we found in that committee is

778
00:43:54,640 --> 00:44:00,560
despite the great work, our homeless

779
00:43:57,359 --> 00:44:03,760
neighbors um were growing. Our

780
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:07,920
populations were growing each year. And

781
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:10,720
so with the uh invention five years ago,

782
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:14,640
invention five years ago of housing

783
00:44:10,720 --> 00:44:17,119
forward uh which is somewhat of a point

784
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:20,400
guard that gets the money distributed to

785
00:44:17,119 --> 00:44:23,359
the various uh agencies

786
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:26,640
uh who work on this issue.

787
00:44:23,359 --> 00:44:30,319
Uh Dallas has seen a 21% drop in

788
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:32,960
homelessness while um other large urban

789
00:44:30,319 --> 00:44:36,560
areas in the country have seen an

790
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:40,319
increase uh in homelessness. But we've

791
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:42,400
seen that drop mostly in downtown Dallas

792
00:44:40,319 --> 00:44:44,720
through the work that this court and the

793
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:46,400
city of Dallas and private sector has

794
00:44:44,720 --> 00:44:48,880
supported.

795
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:51,920
this um

796
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:54,079
uh opportunity for the voters to decide

797
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:56,160
would allow

798
00:44:54,079 --> 00:44:58,079
those mental health and homeless

799
00:44:56,160 --> 00:45:01,680
services to not just be in the in

800
00:44:58,079 --> 00:45:05,040
downtown Dallas, but to be throughout

801
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:08,560
um the county, throughout the districts

802
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:10,640
of the various uh commissioners.

803
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:15,359
Um

804
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:21,040
so that uh you know weighed on on me as

805
00:45:15,359 --> 00:45:24,880
well um in in looking at this uh

806
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:26,800
and uh seeing what what what we could

807
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:29,920
do. I do agree with Commissioner

808
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:32,720
Summerman that this is not a vote to

809
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:36,480
raise taxes. This is a vote to allow

810
00:45:32,720 --> 00:45:40,880
citizens to make a decision whether or

811
00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:44,079
not this cost they would prefer to pay

812
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:47,119
this cost or whether or not they would

813
00:45:44,079 --> 00:45:49,599
uh prefer to stay with the status quo of

814
00:45:47,119 --> 00:45:51,520
how we are dealing with homelessness. I

815
00:45:49,599 --> 00:45:53,359
will point out that with the city of

816
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:57,280
Dallas's

817
00:45:53,359 --> 00:46:01,200
uh woes and with that money that we put

818
00:45:57,280 --> 00:46:03,520
forward this year and um that the $6

819
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:05,359
million was mostly economic development

820
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:08,160
funds for my office and I don't have

821
00:46:05,359 --> 00:46:11,119
enough economic development funds in my

822
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:13,839
office to uh make those sort of

823
00:46:11,119 --> 00:46:16,480
commitments each year uh because of

824
00:46:13,839 --> 00:46:20,480
because of other uh you know economic

825
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:23,440
development programs. Um, so if we if if

826
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:25,680
the voters choose not to do this, not

827
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:27,280
only will we not see this expand and

828
00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:29,200
help other neighborhoods and other

829
00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:33,599
people, but we're going to see it shrink

830
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:36,640
some uh in uh the the urban core of

831
00:46:33,599 --> 00:46:39,280
Dallas where we already are seeing uh a

832
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:43,359
pretty strong exodus of businesses

833
00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:46,480
leaving. So um all of those economic

834
00:46:43,359 --> 00:46:49,280
reasons, you know, played a part. Uh the

835
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:52,800
other part uh I will tell you and I

836
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:56,880
don't want to mix faith with uh I have

837
00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:59,359
to be careful how I say this. Um so I'm

838
00:46:56,880 --> 00:47:03,520
you know really who I am at this point

839
00:46:59,359 --> 00:47:05,920
is I'm I'm probably 2 or you know 6.0 by

840
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:09,680
now right? But I can kind of tell you

841
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:14,880
you know Clay 1.0 and 2.0 is an adult.

842
00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:19,200
1.0 0 uh was a a lawyer who was in a car

843
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:21,119
wreck dead for about eight minutes. Um I

844
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:23,680
had a pretty profound experience and

845
00:47:21,119 --> 00:47:26,319
when I got out of that experience

846
00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:28,160
uh I wanted to do something to give back

847
00:47:26,319 --> 00:47:29,760
and there's all kinds of ways to give

848
00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:32,400
back, right? I could have coached kids

849
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:34,880
and did a lot of those things. But one

850
00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:37,680
of the things that that really struck my

851
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:39,599
heart is

852
00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:41,760
everybody's faith, whether it's

853
00:47:39,599 --> 00:47:45,680
Christian faith or Jewish faith or

854
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:49,200
Muslim faith, talks about um the need to

855
00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:51,839
help the poor and the less fortunate. So

856
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:54,079
at that time I lived in Wakahhatchee. I

857
00:47:51,839 --> 00:47:55,520
carried a pager on Tuesdays and took

858
00:47:54,079 --> 00:47:59,599
care of homeless people. There weren't

859
00:47:55,520 --> 00:48:02,640
that many back then uh in Wakahhatchee.

860
00:47:59,599 --> 00:48:06,160
Um when I got here, I struggled with

861
00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:08,240
this and got into and and so my my views

862
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:10,960
on life pretty much changed from that

863
00:48:08,240 --> 00:48:13,520
experience. When I got here, I would

864
00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:16,880
struggle and I would talk to my uh faith

865
00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:20,079
leader friends. Uh once I was going to

866
00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:22,400
lunch with one of them and uh we passed

867
00:48:20,079 --> 00:48:24,800
by a homeless person. I didn't stop,

868
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:27,359
give him any money, do anything for him.

869
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:30,800
And my friend said, "You got county

870
00:48:27,359 --> 00:48:32,240
plates, dude. Um, they know who you are.

871
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:33,599
Why don't you give them a few dollars?"

872
00:48:32,240 --> 00:48:35,680
I said, 'Well, I'm afraid they'd spend

873
00:48:33,599 --> 00:48:38,960
it for drugs.

874
00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:40,960
The man said to me, "Um, what is that to

875
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:44,319
you? Don't you think in biblical times

876
00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:47,200
people misused money when when they were

877
00:48:44,319 --> 00:48:49,760
asking for money?" I can see his point.

878
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:54,000
I can see my point. But I did want to

879
00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:58,000
work um on the this issue to try to find

880
00:48:54,000 --> 00:49:01,119
a better life and a better way for the

881
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:03,520
people uh that are homeless and

882
00:49:01,119 --> 00:49:05,520
struggling. And so when Dr. Daniel came

883
00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:08,800
to me a few months ago, we put this

884
00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:10,240
together and uh you know, that's why I'm

885
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:12,240
in support of it.

886
00:49:10,240 --> 00:49:13,680
» Okay, Georgia. Thank you.

887
00:49:12,240 --> 00:49:15,599
» All right. Uh um

888
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:17,920
» Shall we take a vote then?

889
00:49:15,599 --> 00:49:19,359
» Well, I thought we just did. Well, no,

890
00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:21,280
we haven't taken a vote. We just all

891
00:49:19,359 --> 00:49:22,319
talked about it.

892
00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:23,280
» No, there's not.

893
00:49:22,319 --> 00:49:25,520
» There's a speaker.

894
00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:27,440
» There's a

895
00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:29,040
for discussion. Okay.

896
00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:30,880
» You said for discussion. We've discussed

897
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:31,359
it,

898
00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:32,240
» Right?

899
00:49:31,359 --> 00:49:33,200
» Call the question.

900
00:49:32,240 --> 00:49:33,920
» Right. Call the question.

901
00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:35,440
» There's a speaker.

902
00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:37,200
» Oh, I'm sorry. There's a speaker. Will

903
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:38,960

904

the Dallas County Sheriff's Office. Uh I

1155
01:00:42,000 --> 01:00:47,839
just want to take this opportunity on

1156
01:00:43,680 --> 01:00:51,920
behalf of Sheriff Marin Brown to thank

1157
01:00:47,839 --> 01:00:56,160
Captain Knight for all her dedication

1158
01:00:51,920 --> 01:01:00,559
and service uh to Dallas County. Uh I

1159
01:00:56,160 --> 01:01:05,839
know for a fact that uh she has uh put

1160
01:01:00,559 --> 01:01:08,960
in the work. 35 years is a long time. Uh

1161
01:01:05,839 --> 01:01:12,880
long time to be in one place and I know

1162
01:01:08,960 --> 01:01:16,559
that she's looking forward to uh uh

1163
01:01:12,880 --> 01:01:20,319
another uh open book after she closes

1164
01:01:16,559 --> 01:01:24,000
this one. But I know also know that my

1165
01:01:20,319 --> 01:01:26,559
conversations with her that uh it was a

1166
01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:30,319
tough decision on her part

1167
01:01:26,559 --> 01:01:35,119
being how she's built. She's built to

1168
01:01:30,319 --> 01:01:36,799
motivate and uh make people better. And

1169
01:01:35,119 --> 01:01:39,839
in a sense when you make people better,

1170
01:01:36,799 --> 01:01:41,839
the agency you work for, it gets better.

1171
01:01:39,839 --> 01:01:45,280
So I just want to say that you will duly

1172
01:01:41,839 --> 01:01:48,079
be missed. Uh but uh I know that you

1173
01:01:45,280 --> 01:01:50,559
will uh continue to move on, enjoy your

1174
01:01:48,079 --> 01:01:53,119
family, take advantage of the

1175
01:01:50,559 --> 01:01:54,880
opportunity that's given to you now

1176
01:01:53,119 --> 01:01:57,359
because uh there's something in there

1177
01:01:54,880 --> 01:02:00,960
that says uh enjoy the fruits of your

1178
01:01:57,359 --> 01:02:03,599
labor. And I think it's time to sit back

1179
01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:06,160
and take a look at it and then move on

1180
01:02:03,599 --> 01:02:08,799
with life. Uh granted, you'll be missed

1181
01:02:06,160 --> 01:02:12,000

1182
01:02:08,799 --> 01:02:14,319

1184
01:02:14,319 --> 01:02:18,400
shoes the way you did it, but we got to

1185
01:02:16,880 --> 01:02:20,079
continue to move on. But I just want to

1186
01:02:18,400 --> 01:02:21,920

Captain

1193
01:02:34,559 --> 01:02:38,799
» Commissioners. Thank you. Um it has been

1194
01:02:37,040 --> 01:02:41,440
an honor to serve Dallas County

1195
01:02:38,799 --> 01:02:44,880
residents. Um,

1196
01:02:41,440 --> 01:02:46,480
it was not my dream job, but when I got

1197
01:02:44,880 --> 01:02:48,559
into it, it was like, yeah, this is what

1198
01:02:46,480 --> 01:02:50,319
I want to do. And I set a goal very

1199
01:02:48,559 --> 01:02:53,920
early in my career that I wanted to be a

1200
01:02:50,319 --> 01:02:55,680
captain. And I made that pretty quickly.

1201
01:02:53,920 --> 01:02:58,240
At least as far as I'm concerned, it was

1202
01:02:55,680 --> 01:03:00,319
pretty quick. I've been um a captain for

1203
01:02:58,240 --> 01:03:02,000
a while. And

1204
01:03:00,319 --> 01:03:04,000
my goal everywhere I've been is to leave

1205
01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:06,880
it better than I found it. And hopefully

1206
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:09,040
I've done that. I feel that I have. And

1207
01:03:06,880 --> 01:03:10,640
all I can do is say thank you to all

1208
01:03:09,040 --> 01:03:13,599
these people that I've worked with. I've

1209
01:03:10,640 --> 01:03:15,920
made some great lifelong friends and

1210
01:03:13,599 --> 01:03:16,640
I'll always be here to assist if they

1211
01:03:15,920 --> 01:03:18,000
need anything.

1212
01:03:16,640 --> 01:03:19,119

John,

» You know, we we we talk about core

1265
01:06:13,520 --> 01:06:17,680
responsibility in Dallas County and we

1266
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:20,799
always tell the classes as they are on

1267
01:06:17,680 --> 01:06:22,400
board, 70% of what we do in Dallas

1268
01:06:20,799 --> 01:06:26,319
County is criminal justice. to swear it

1269
01:06:22,400 --> 01:06:28,880
be adult to juvenile. 20% of what we do

1270
01:06:26,319 --> 01:06:32,079
is public health. And I don't know if

1271
01:06:28,880 --> 01:06:34,400
you can measure one over the other, but

1272
01:06:32,079 --> 01:06:36,400
let me just tell you, one of the things

1273
01:06:34,400 --> 01:06:39,359
we've seen, whether it's a measel

1274
01:06:36,400 --> 01:06:42,160
outbreak or whatever, we understand how

1275
01:06:39,359 --> 01:06:44,319
important public health is. a friend of

1276
01:06:42,160 --> 01:06:46,400
mine

1277
01:06:44,319 --> 01:06:48,000
and I got into a discussion the other

1278
01:06:46,400 --> 01:06:50,720
day

1279
01:06:48,000 --> 01:06:52,720
about a very famous doctor who I who is

1280
01:06:50,720 --> 01:06:55,839
the only person who's ever been able to

1281
01:06:52,720 --> 01:06:57,599
convince me to take shots. His name was

1282
01:06:55,839 --> 01:06:59,200
Farsy

1283
01:06:57,599 --> 01:07:02,319
because let me tell you something. CO

1284
01:06:59,200 --> 01:07:03,920
didn't do nothing else for me. CO told

1285
01:07:02,319 --> 01:07:06,079
me that them shots was working. I don't

1286
01:07:03,920 --> 01:07:08,559
give a damn about them side effects.

1287
01:07:06,079 --> 01:07:10,160
whatever else happened, I'm still alive

1288
01:07:08,559 --> 01:07:12,799
and I'm not in the back of one of those

1289
01:07:10,160 --> 01:07:15,039
trailers. I'm I'm telling y'all. And he

1290
01:07:12,799 --> 01:07:17,760
and I got into it. He said, "Well,

1291
01:07:15,039 --> 01:07:20,000
Fouchy, hell. Damn. Fouchy saved my

1292
01:07:17,760 --> 01:07:22,319
life, you know, as far as I'm concerned.

1293
01:07:20,000 --> 01:07:25,680
And I don't carry no too many cards with

1294
01:07:22,319 --> 01:07:29,911
me. I carry my county card,

1295
01:07:25,680 --> 01:07:31,280
my ID, and I carry my COVID card."

1296
01:07:29,911 --> 01:07:34,240
[applause]

1297
01:07:31,280 --> 01:07:35,520
Not what you want to say. Anyway, uh let

1298
01:07:34,240 --> 01:07:37,520
me ask the FQAC.

1299
01:07:35,520 --> 01:07:41,520
» You carry you carry all that.

1300
01:07:37,520 --> 01:07:44,319
» Yeah. Hey, hey, hey.

1301
01:07:41,520 --> 01:07:47,359
» Anyway, the uh every day, but uh let me

1302
01:07:44,319 --> 01:07:49,280
ask the delegation for FQC to please

1303
01:07:47,359 --> 01:07:51,680
come forward

1304
01:07:49,280 --> 01:07:54,400
and and and I I really we talked about

1305
01:07:51,680 --> 01:07:56,720
this with Parkland. I I want to thank

1306
01:07:54,400 --> 01:07:59,039
you know, I'm I'm usually on Parkland.

1307
01:07:56,720 --> 01:08:01,440
I'm going stay on Parkland. But one of

1308
01:07:59,039 --> 01:08:04,319
the things they've done is they've kind

1309
01:08:01,440 --> 01:08:08,160
of put this together uh for Dallas

1310
01:08:04,319 --> 01:08:11,440
County. There's twice as many FQC's,

1311
01:08:08,160 --> 01:08:16,159
federally qualified health centers,

1312
01:08:11,440 --> 01:08:20,560
FQC's in in uh Harris County as there

1313
01:08:16,159 --> 01:08:24,159
are in Dallas County. And our system is

1314
01:08:20,560 --> 01:08:26,239
is large. We're the second largest. But

1315
01:08:24,159 --> 01:08:30,560
let me just tell you, they cannot

1316
01:08:26,239 --> 01:08:34,000
operate in a silo. They need federally

1317
01:08:30,560 --> 01:08:37,440
qualified health centers to help them

1318
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:39,839
manage our constituent population. And I

1319
01:08:37,440 --> 01:08:41,920
want them to know how much I we we

1320
01:08:39,839 --> 01:08:44,640

1321
01:08:41,920 --> 01:08:47,359
commend Parkland for finally

1322
01:08:44,640 --> 01:08:50,000

1323
01:08:47,359 --> 01:08:53,199

Community Clinic. And what pleases me uh

1491
01:16:34,080 --> 01:16:39,040
beyond today's proclamation is that I

1492
01:16:36,880 --> 01:16:40,880
see a lot of friends in the room. It's

1493
01:16:39,040 --> 01:16:43,520
always good to see people working in

1494
01:16:40,880 --> 01:16:47,280
support of a stronger, healthier Dallas

1495
01:16:43,520 --> 01:16:49,679
County, but I see good friends right

1496
01:16:47,280 --> 01:16:51,600
before me. I don't think there's a one

1497
01:16:49,679 --> 01:16:55,040
of you that hasn't either been to our

1498
01:16:51,600 --> 01:16:56,000
clinics or worked with us in some way or

1499
01:16:55,040 --> 01:16:57,440
fashion.

1500
01:16:56,000 --> 01:16:59,199
» I worked at that clinic.

1501
01:16:57,440 --> 01:17:01,840
» Yeah. And you worked at And you worked

1502
01:16:59,199 --> 01:17:06,239
at the clinic? You were a dentist back

1503
01:17:01,840 --> 01:17:06,960
in what years were those? [laughter]

1504
01:17:06,239 --> 01:17:10,000
» Years ago.

1505
01:17:06,960 --> 01:17:13,360
» I actually worked as an assistant as a

1506
01:17:10,000 --> 01:17:16,239
dental assistant and later on uh you

1507
01:17:13,360 --> 01:17:18,320
know when Dr. Harris was on vacation as

1508
01:17:16,239 --> 01:17:21,360
a dentist in Los Vargas and it was very

1509
01:17:18,320 --> 01:17:23,440
proud love the community and I just want

1510
01:17:21,360 --> 01:17:26,719
to say you are all of you are the

1511
01:17:23,440 --> 01:17:29,040
backbone of the health in our

1512
01:17:26,719 --> 01:17:31,120
communities especially right now when

1513
01:17:29,040 --> 01:17:35,040
there's so much fear when there's so

1514
01:17:31,120 --> 01:17:37,440
much hate when there's much segregation

1515
01:17:35,040 --> 01:17:39,199
you are what bring us all together and I

1516
01:17:37,440 --> 01:17:41,280
just want to thank you for the great

1517
01:17:39,199 --> 01:17:42,000
work that you continue to do in our

1518
01:17:41,280 --> 01:17:44,800
communities thank you

1519
01:17:42,000 --> 01:17:46,800
» But but the safety net is and and it

1520
01:17:44,800 --> 01:17:49,360
gets lost in the clutter. You know,

1521
01:17:46,800 --> 01:17:51,840
that's what's always interesting to me.

1522
01:17:49,360 --> 01:17:53,520
You know, I I watch the the the

1523
01:17:51,840 --> 01:17:55,360
headlines and what's going on and and

1524
01:17:53,520 --> 01:17:57,760
the whole thing about the the big

1525
01:17:55,360 --> 01:17:59,840
beautiful the big ugly bill. It's just

1526
01:17:57,760 --> 01:18:01,520
getting lost. You know, that whole

1527
01:17:59,840 --> 01:18:02,400
Medicaid impact and I'm doing an

1528
01:18:01,520 --> 01:18:04,800
assessment because we're getting ready

1529
01:18:02,400 --> 01:18:06,159
to deal with Parkland's budget. And Mr.

1530
01:18:04,800 --> 01:18:09,280
Reed will tell you, I've been going back

1531
01:18:06,159 --> 01:18:11,440
and forth. I want to know exactly what

1532
01:18:09,280 --> 01:18:15,280
has been the impact. It's just seem to

1533
01:18:11,440 --> 01:18:18,560
have gotten lost. And if if less people

1534
01:18:15,280 --> 01:18:21,040
can afford, you know, to be enrolled and

1535
01:18:18,560 --> 01:18:22,239
need services and all, you know, going

1536
01:18:21,040 --> 01:18:24,560
back to my colleague, if you talking

1537
01:18:22,239 --> 01:18:26,960
about impoverished, hell, it depends on

1538
01:18:24,560 --> 01:18:29,280
where you were yesterday,

1539
01:18:26,960 --> 01:18:32,960
where you might be tomorrow after all of

1540
01:18:29,280 --> 01:18:37,679
this kind of takes takes place. And and

1541
01:18:32,960 --> 01:18:39,360
one thing we are clear about a medical

1542
01:18:37,679 --> 01:18:44,000
episode

1543
01:18:39,360 --> 01:18:47,120
can make the difference between the line

1544
01:18:44,000 --> 01:18:50,960
» Whether you're up here down there.

1545
01:18:47,120 --> 01:18:54,159
» Yeah. Depending on what that episode is.

1546
01:18:50,960 --> 01:18:56,640
So I I I appreciate the preemptiveness

1547
01:18:54,159 --> 01:18:59,040
that that federally qualified health

1548
01:18:56,640 --> 01:19:02,000
centers do because you're out in the

1549
01:18:59,040 --> 01:19:03,920
community. You're about access. You

1550
01:19:02,000 --> 01:19:05,840
know, people, everybody can't get to

1551
01:19:03,920 --> 01:19:08,000
with in my community, we call it Mama

1552
01:19:05,840 --> 01:19:11,840
Parkland. We can't everybody can't get

1553
01:19:08,000 --> 01:19:13,520
out there. You know, 40% in my district,

1554
01:19:11,840 --> 01:19:15,280
and they heard me say the other day, is

1555
01:19:13,520 --> 01:19:18,000
still transportation

1556
01:19:15,280 --> 01:19:20,560
challenged, but you go into the

1557
01:19:18,000 --> 01:19:23,199
community. And uh while you're talking

1558
01:19:20,560 --> 01:19:25,679
about being the child, we we basically

1559
01:19:23,199 --> 01:19:27,360
reared uh Dr. Carlos, he started with

1560
01:19:25,679 --> 01:19:29,360
Dallas County. [laughter] Most people

1561
01:19:27,360 --> 01:19:30,560
don't realize that he started with

1562
01:19:29,360 --> 01:19:33,120
Dallas County

1563
01:19:30,560 --> 01:19:35,520
» And he was a great connector of Dallas

1564
01:19:33,120 --> 01:19:38,280
County with the city of Dallas. Yep.

1565
01:19:35,520 --> 01:19:40,480
» All the females in the committees never

1566
01:19:38,280 --> 01:19:41,520
[laughter] fail. One of Dr. Carlos Brie.

1567
01:19:40,480 --> 01:19:43,520
» Yeah, I understand.

1568
01:19:41,520 --> 01:19:44,320
» I can tell you. I told you that.

1569
01:19:43,520 --> 01:19:45,920
» Well, I

1570
01:19:44,320 --> 01:19:47,450
» I always have a quarum. I never had to

1571
01:19:45,920 --> 01:19:49,440
worry when you were presenting.

1572
01:19:47,450 --> 01:19:51,600
[laughter] And uh also you having an

1573
01:19:49,440 --> 01:19:52,480
event this weekend, right, Dr. Carol?

1574
01:19:51,600 --> 01:19:53,679
» I was getting ready to go.

1575
01:19:52,480 --> 01:19:55,040
» Tell us a little bit about it because

1576
01:19:53,679 --> 01:19:56,960
I'm planning to be there in the middle

1577
01:19:55,040 --> 01:19:58,640
of the heat. Thank you for embarrassing

1578
01:19:56,960 --> 01:20:00,159
me to the point where I'm not going to

1579
01:19:58,640 --> 01:20:03,040
be able to answer. Oh yes, we are having

1580
01:20:00,159 --> 01:20:05,600
a back to school drive um and looking

1581
01:20:03,040 --> 01:20:07,360
and to bring children with we we have

1582
01:20:05,600 --> 01:20:09,199
school supplies, free haircuts, we're

1583
01:20:07,360 --> 01:20:10,880
doing sports physicals, immunization,

1584
01:20:09,199 --> 01:20:12,480
and and we're all running these programs

1585
01:20:10,880 --> 01:20:14,560
and we all we were just talking we have

1586
01:20:12,480 --> 01:20:16,400
these programs that are going on now uh

1587
01:20:14,560 --> 01:20:18,239
because it's absolutely essential to get

1588
01:20:16,400 --> 01:20:19,520
ready for school. So if it's not us,

1589
01:20:18,239 --> 01:20:20,560
there's a lot of other people in the

1590
01:20:19,520 --> 01:20:22,800
community that are offering these

1591
01:20:20,560 --> 01:20:24,320
events. Can you remind me the address

1592
01:20:22,800 --> 01:20:28,000
for the public to

1593
01:20:24,320 --> 01:20:30,560
» 219 Sunset Avenue in Oakliff?

1594
01:20:28,000 --> 01:20:33,440
» And and one of the things, last thing

1595
01:20:30,560 --> 01:20:36,560
I'll say is is that

1596
01:20:33,440 --> 01:20:40,480
» It takes a lot when you're dealing with

1597
01:20:36,560 --> 01:20:44,239
medical for people to trust you. I'm

1598
01:20:40,480 --> 01:20:48,159
back to my my green card. You know, it

1599
01:20:44,239 --> 01:20:50,000
takes a lot. And Dr. Garcia kept telling

1600
01:20:48,159 --> 01:20:51,120
me, you know, you need to take the shot.

1601
01:20:50,000 --> 01:20:53,440
You need to take shots. I'm not taking

1602
01:20:51,120 --> 01:20:54,159
no shots.

1603
01:20:53,440 --> 01:20:56,881
Co

1604
01:20:54,159 --> 01:20:58,239
» And we forgive him for that.

1605
01:20:56,881 --> 01:21:00,400
[laughter]

1606
01:20:58,239 --> 01:21:04,239
» And CO taught me I'm gonna take the

1607
01:21:00,400 --> 01:21:07,040
shots. But it's about trust.

1608
01:21:04,239 --> 01:21:10,960
And I see you work in communities where

1609
01:21:07,040 --> 01:21:14,000
trust is hard to come by. And so, thank

1610
01:21:10,960 --> 01:21:16,159
you. And especially, you know, in in

1611
01:21:14,000 --> 01:21:18,719
certain communities, you know, we all

1612
01:21:16,159 --> 01:21:20,480
can't trust everybody. I know most folks

1613
01:21:18,719 --> 01:21:22,560
in here not gonna remember Tuskegee

1614
01:21:20,480 --> 01:21:26,080
Institute,

1615
01:21:22,560 --> 01:21:29,120
Tuskegee Experiment.

1616
01:21:26,080 --> 01:21:32,159
I could understand it. The Fouchi thing

1617
01:21:29,120 --> 01:21:35,120
did not reach that level.

1618
01:21:32,159 --> 01:21:36,560
Tuskegee was intentional.

1619
01:21:35,120 --> 01:21:38,080
It was an experiment.

1620
01:21:36,560 --> 01:21:41,520
» Y

1621
01:21:38,080 --> 01:21:44,080
» But now this whole medical thing. Thank

1622
01:21:41,520 --> 01:21:46,320
you. and the fact that you have worked

1623
01:21:44,080 --> 01:21:50,400
diligently prison especially taken that

1624
01:21:46,320 --> 01:21:54,880
leadership to make sure that your

1625
01:21:50,400 --> 01:21:58,800
patients who need specialty care

1626
01:21:54,880 --> 01:22:01,360
which Parkland can provide

1627
01:21:58,800 --> 01:22:04,480
don't get ghosted

1628
01:22:01,360 --> 01:22:07,120
as you refer them. Parkland has create

1629
01:22:04,480 --> 01:22:10,080
the kind of collaborative nature

1630
01:22:07,120 --> 01:22:12,080
» That brings them back to you and that's

1631
01:22:10,080 --> 01:22:13,120
that's what this collaboration is all

1632
01:22:12,080 --> 01:22:15,040
about.

1633
01:22:13,120 --> 01:22:16,239
» So thank thank you.

1634
01:22:15,040 --> 01:22:18,960
» Thank you.

1635
01:22:16,239 --> 01:22:22,080
» I would like to reiterate that also too.

1636
01:22:18,960 --> 01:22:24,639
Um I've just come back from a national

1637
01:22:22,080 --> 01:22:27,520
county meeting and then a Texas wide

1638
01:22:24,639 --> 01:22:29,600
county meeting. And you know when you go

1639
01:22:27,520 --> 01:22:32,639
you're always watching and listening.

1640
01:22:29,600 --> 01:22:34,880
Okay. How is Dallas County doing?

1641
01:22:32,639 --> 01:22:38,480
And one of the things that really makes

1642
01:22:34,880 --> 01:22:41,199
me stand up taller, straighter, is the

1643
01:22:38,480 --> 01:22:46,320
fact that the partnerships

1644
01:22:41,199 --> 01:22:50,000
that we have in Dallas County are envied

1645
01:22:46,320 --> 01:22:54,239
around the country because number one,

1646
01:22:50,000 --> 01:22:58,800
we know our jobs. Secondly, we do a very

1647
01:22:54,239 --> 01:23:01,440
fine job of making those things happen.

1648
01:22:58,800 --> 01:23:04,159
and and and part of it are the four of

1649
01:23:01,440 --> 01:23:07,679
you standing here and I know what you

1650
01:23:04,159 --> 01:23:09,920
represent behind that which is providing

1651
01:23:07,679 --> 01:23:14,320
the health care

1652
01:23:09,920 --> 01:23:15,840
that um the residents of Dallas County

1653
01:23:14,320 --> 01:23:18,560
need

1654
01:23:15,840 --> 01:23:20,880
and so I just want to say a heartfelt

1655
01:23:18,560 --> 01:23:22,320
thank you and yes it is true and I was

1656
01:23:20,880 --> 01:23:25,120
trying to remember how many years

1657
01:23:22,320 --> 01:23:26,639
probably 40 45 years that I was at Los

1658
01:23:25,120 --> 01:23:28,960
Varios

1659
01:23:26,639 --> 01:23:31,840
I know it doesn't seem possible

1660
01:23:28,960 --> 01:23:34,719
We're all so young. But but the point of

1661
01:23:31,840 --> 01:23:37,040
all that being is that you're here, that

1662
01:23:34,719 --> 01:23:39,840
you are still here. You are still

1663
01:23:37,040 --> 01:23:42,480
addressing those needs and making sure

1664
01:23:39,840 --> 01:23:45,760
that the residents of Dallas County have

1665
01:23:42,480 --> 01:23:47,440
what they need. So I just want to give a

1666
01:23:45,760 --> 01:23:50,679
great big thank you.

1667
01:23:47,440 --> 01:23:50,679
» Thank you.

1668
01:23:51,600 --> 01:23:55,639
» Okay, y'all want to come forward?

1669
01:24:03,120 --> 01:24:06,360
I'm sorry.

1670
01:24:09,679 --> 01:24:13,320
» Yeah. Oh, yeah.

1671
01:24:20,880 --> 01:24:23,880
Congratulations.

1672
01:24:46,080 --> 01:24:50,600
» Thank you. I'll see you Saturday.

1673
01:24:51,373 --> 01:24:53,393
» [applause]

1674
01:24:59,600 --> 01:25:04,320
» Commission.

1675
01:25:00,880 --> 01:25:05,920
» Yeah, I've got a couple

1676
01:25:04,320 --> 01:25:08,800
of

1677
01:25:05,920 --> 01:25:11,280
actually I have two and they are both

1678
01:25:08,800 --> 01:25:14,480
important in their own ways. The first

1679
01:25:11,280 --> 01:25:17,120
one is the National Overdose Awareness

1680
01:25:14,480 --> 01:25:20,639
Month. All of us realize that we live in

1681
01:25:17,120 --> 01:25:23,520
a reality and that reality is not all

1682
01:25:20,639 --> 01:25:26,480
always pretty pictures. But the point of

1683
01:25:23,520 --> 01:25:28,880
it is that in the people who are walking

1684
01:25:26,480 --> 01:25:31,280
up right now

1685
01:25:28,880 --> 01:25:35,520
um Laura Edmonds and you know all that

1686
01:25:31,280 --> 01:25:38,719
you do Dr. Dr. Hang just the variety of

1687
01:25:35,520 --> 01:25:41,920
things that compose what is public

1688
01:25:38,719 --> 01:25:44,560
health in Dallas County. and I'm proud

1689
01:25:41,920 --> 01:25:46,880
that you stand up.

1690
01:25:44,560 --> 01:25:49,520
Whereas every individual possesses

1691
01:25:46,880 --> 01:25:52,480
inherent dignity and value, and the loss

1692
01:25:49,520 --> 01:25:55,280
of any life to substance abuse is a

1693
01:25:52,480 --> 01:25:58,080
profound tragedy that reverberates

1694
01:25:55,280 --> 01:26:01,600
throughout families, neighborhoods, and

1695
01:25:58,080 --> 01:26:04,960
our entire community. And whereas

1696
01:26:01,600 --> 01:26:07,920
National Overdose Awareness Month serves

1697
01:26:04,960 --> 01:26:11,199
as a solemn reminder of those we have

1698
01:26:07,920 --> 01:26:14,800
lost, a tribute to the families and

1699
01:26:11,199 --> 01:26:17,600
loved ones left to grieve, and a call to

1700
01:26:14,800 --> 01:26:20,320
action to eliminate the stigma

1701
01:26:17,600 --> 01:26:22,400
surrounding addiction that too often

1702
01:26:20,320 --> 01:26:26,400
prevents individuals from seeking

1703
01:26:22,400 --> 01:26:30,400
lifesaving help. And whereas public

1704
01:26:26,400 --> 01:26:33,679
health crises of this magnitude require

1705
01:26:30,400 --> 01:26:36,400
a compassionate, coordinated, and

1706
01:26:33,679 --> 01:26:39,360
multifaceted response rooted in

1707
01:26:36,400 --> 01:26:42,800
evidence-based prevention, accessible

1708
01:26:39,360 --> 01:26:46,239
treatment, harm reduction strategies,

1709
01:26:42,800 --> 01:26:48,480
and a long-term recovery support.

1710
01:26:46,239 --> 01:26:51,199
And whereas local public health

1711
01:26:48,480 --> 01:26:54,159
initiatives, including Dallas County

1712
01:26:51,199 --> 01:26:57,120
Health and Human Services, the overdose

1713
01:26:54,159 --> 01:27:00,480
response team, and regional behavioral

1714
01:26:57,120 --> 01:27:02,719
health partners, worked tirelessly to

1715
01:27:00,480 --> 01:27:06,159
expand access to life-saving

1716
01:27:02,719 --> 01:27:09,199
interventions such as Nelloxin,

1717
01:27:06,159 --> 01:27:12,639
Empower by Standard,

1718
01:27:09,199 --> 01:27:15,280
standards with emergency response tools,

1719
01:27:12,639 --> 01:27:17,360
and maintain a critical local resourc.

1720
01:27:15,280 --> 01:27:20,159
resources like the Dallas County

1721
01:27:17,360 --> 01:27:22,320

1722
01:27:20,159 --> 01:27:24,880

» Yes, Commissioner Daniel, thank you so

1777
01:29:47,840 --> 01:29:53,120
much for your resolution. I mean, as you

1778
01:29:50,159 --> 01:29:55,679
pointed out, a death due to overdose is

1779
01:29:53,120 --> 01:29:58,320
such a tragic and preventable event. And

1780
01:29:55,679 --> 01:29:59,600
so, um, bringing this awareness is so

1781
01:29:58,320 --> 01:30:01,840
important for our community and the

1782
01:29:59,600 --> 01:30:03,440

different partners and Metro Care. Uh so

1799
01:30:38,159 --> 01:30:42,000
it is a team effort to do this and

they're already seeing some of the

1801
01:30:42,000 --> 01:30:47,280
results and some of the declines in

1802
01:30:43,920 --> 01:30:48,800
overdose related mortality. So um thank

1803
01:30:47,280 --> 01:30:52,920
you for that and again let me see if

1804
01:30:48,800 --> 01:30:52,920
anyone else wants to say something.

1805
01:30:53,760 --> 01:30:56,480
» Hi, good morning. I'm Laura Edmonds with

1806
01:30:55,280 --> 01:30:58,000
the Dallas County Criminal Justice

1807
01:30:56,480 --> 01:31:00,560
Department. Thank you so much for the

1808
01:30:58,000 --> 01:31:02,239
resolution um this morning. Just wanted

1809
01:31:00,560 --> 01:31:03,600
to briefly acknowledge we do a lot of

1810
01:31:02,239 --> 01:31:05,360
partnership with Dallas County Health

1811
01:31:03,600 --> 01:31:08,480
and Human Services with their opioid

1812
01:31:05,360 --> 01:31:10,880
response um task force. We did get a

1813
01:31:08,480 --> 01:31:13,199
grant through HHS to expand a lock zone

1814
01:31:10,880 --> 01:31:15,120
distribution and through that we were

1815
01:31:13,199 --> 01:31:17,520
able to install an aloxxone distribution

1816
01:31:15,120 --> 01:31:19,120
stands at the end of June in the Frank

1817
01:31:17,520 --> 01:31:21,520
Crowley Court building and in the Dallas

1818
01:31:19,120 --> 01:31:23,280
County Jail. So in about that six week

1819
01:31:21,520 --> 01:31:26,080
time period since we put those up, we've

1820
01:31:23,280 --> 01:31:27,440
had over 1,400 boxes taken from those

1821
01:31:26,080 --> 01:31:28,800
stands which

1822
01:31:27,440 --> 01:31:30,320
» Really highlights. We're really working

1823
01:31:28,800 --> 01:31:32,560
hard to keep them stocked. That's been

1824
01:31:30,320 --> 01:31:34,320
the biggest challenge so far. Um, but it

1825
01:31:32,560 --> 01:31:36,800
does go to show the demand and the need

1826
01:31:34,320 --> 01:31:38,320
for this life-saving medication and to

1827
01:31:36,800 --> 01:31:40,000
make it easily accessible for the

1828
01:31:38,320 --> 01:31:42,320
community. So, a big thank you to

1829
01:31:40,000 --> 01:31:43,600
Parkland uh to Parkland Jail Health for

1830
01:31:42,320 --> 01:31:45,760
all the work that they're doing with the

1831
01:31:43,600 --> 01:31:47,440
Inel Matt program and the jail release

1832
01:31:45,760 --> 01:31:49,280
program. And of course, a big thank you

1833
01:31:47,440 --> 01:31:49,920
to HHS for all of their efforts and

1834
01:31:49,280 --> 01:31:50,960
support.

1835
01:31:49,920 --> 01:31:52,639
» The partnerships.

1836
01:31:50,960 --> 01:31:54,560
» Yeah, absolutely.

1837
01:31:52,639 --> 01:31:56,080
» Huge difference. Thank you to all of you

1838
01:31:54,560 --> 01:31:58,480
for being here. And thank you for that

1839
01:31:56,080 --> 01:32:00,239
number because I know each time I go

1840
01:31:58,480 --> 01:32:02,719
kind of go through the Frank Crow and

1841
01:32:00,239 --> 01:32:05,040
going to the jail and right there next

1842
01:32:02,719 --> 01:32:09,600
to the vending machines

1843
01:32:05,040 --> 01:32:11,360
» Is is is is the vending machine and it's

1844
01:32:09,600 --> 01:32:12,239
uh it stays pretty empty.

1845
01:32:11,360 --> 01:32:13,679
» Yes. Yes.

1846
01:32:12,239 --> 01:32:15,040
» Yeah.

1847
01:32:13,679 --> 01:32:17,840
» Right now the biggest challenge is just

1848
01:32:15,040 --> 01:32:18,800
getting enough the lock zone in stock

1849
01:32:17,840 --> 01:32:21,440
just to keep

1850
01:32:18,800 --> 01:32:24,080
» So is your is your challenge product or

1851
01:32:21,440 --> 01:32:26,080
just getting product or what?

1852
01:32:24,080 --> 01:32:28,960
» Yes. right now. So, we had a bunch that

1853
01:32:26,080 --> 01:32:31,040
we got and uh we just didn't anticipate

1854
01:32:28,960 --> 01:32:33,040
the demand of them p being taken so

1855
01:32:31,040 --> 01:32:35,440
rapidly. So, right now we're just

1856
01:32:33,040 --> 01:32:37,040
actively working to order more to get

1857
01:32:35,440 --> 01:32:39,600
more in stock so that we can keep the

1858
01:32:37,040 --> 01:32:41,280
machines full. So, um you're right, we

1859
01:32:39,600 --> 01:32:43,600
stock them and then probably two days

1860
01:32:41,280 --> 01:32:45,199
later we go, they're already empty. Um

1861
01:32:43,600 --> 01:32:46,639
but again, it's it's one of those

1862
01:32:45,199 --> 01:32:48,639
problems where I always think this is a

1863
01:32:46,639 --> 01:32:50,560
good problem. Um because it just goes to

1864
01:32:48,639 --> 01:32:52,639
show how much this is needed and so

1865
01:32:50,560 --> 01:32:54,880
really thankful to be a part of it. In

1866
01:32:52,639 --> 01:32:57,760
today's agenda, we have several items of

1867
01:32:54,880 --> 01:32:58,639
distribution. So, congratulations. Great

1868
01:32:57,760 --> 01:32:59,520
job.

1869
01:32:58,639 --> 01:33:01,319
» Thank you.

1870
01:32:59,520 --> 01:33:03,339
» Want to at least come forward and have a

1871
01:33:01,319 --> 01:33:03,339
[applause]

1872
01:33:27,199 --> 01:33:30,199
center.

1873
01:33:42,080 --> 01:33:45,679
» Thank you very much.

1874
01:33:51,920 --> 01:33:54,800
You know, we talk a lot about

1875
01:33:53,199 --> 01:33:58,159
preventions

1876
01:33:54,800 --> 01:34:00,239
of of many of the illnesses that exist

1877
01:33:58,159 --> 01:34:02,960
in Dallas County, and the next

1878
01:34:00,239 --> 01:34:05,600
resolution is one of those that I think

1879
01:34:02,960 --> 01:34:08,800
we almost take for granted and don't

1880
01:34:05,600 --> 01:34:12,320
even think twice about it. Um, and it is

1881
01:34:08,800 --> 01:34:13,679
the uh National Immunization Awareness

1882
01:34:12,320 --> 01:34:15,679
Month.

1883
01:34:13,679 --> 01:34:18,480
So let's talk a moment about that. The

1884
01:34:15,679 --> 01:34:20,880
month of August is designated as

1885
01:34:18,480 --> 01:34:22,880
national immunization awareness. Yeah,

1886
01:34:20,880 --> 01:34:26,719
we can come up again, right?

1887
01:34:22,880 --> 01:34:30,239
» Because public health is wide

1888
01:34:26,719 --> 01:34:33,520
as annual observance aimed at promoting

1889
01:34:30,239 --> 01:34:36,480
the significance of immunizations. It

1890
01:34:33,520 --> 01:34:39,120
also seeks to encourage the importance

1891
01:34:36,480 --> 01:34:41,600
of maintaining recommended

1892
01:34:39,120 --> 01:34:42,880
vaccinations throughout the duration of

1893
01:34:41,600 --> 01:34:45,040
life.

1894
01:34:42,880 --> 01:34:48,800
And whereas according to the American

1895
01:34:45,040 --> 01:34:51,679
Association of Immunologists,

1896
01:34:48,800 --> 01:34:54,400
the uh immune system is the body's

1897
01:34:51,679 --> 01:34:57,679
defense system to keep people healthy

1898
01:34:54,400 --> 01:35:00,800
and intersects with most aspects of

1899
01:34:57,679 --> 01:35:03,760
human health and disease. Vaccines are

1900
01:35:00,800 --> 01:35:07,440
used to train the imu the immune system

1901
01:35:03,760 --> 01:35:10,159
and to establish memory ahead of time

1902
01:35:07,440 --> 01:35:13,280
without the risk of infection to provide

1903
01:35:10,159 --> 01:35:14,800
effective immunization against specific

1904
01:35:13,280 --> 01:35:17,440
diseases.

1905
01:35:14,800 --> 01:35:20,880
And whereas the Centers of Disease

1906
01:35:17,440 --> 01:35:24,159
Control launches their RISE campaign

1907
01:35:20,880 --> 01:35:27,679
routine immunizations on schedule for

1908
01:35:24,159 --> 01:35:30,480
everyone in May of 2026.

1909
01:35:27,679 --> 01:35:34,159
This initiative provides actionable

1910
01:35:30,480 --> 01:35:36,239
strategies, resources, and data to help

1911
01:35:34,159 --> 01:35:39,440
citizens get back on their scheduled

1912
01:35:36,239 --> 01:35:42,719
vaccination routines. Its focus is to

1913
01:35:39,440 --> 01:35:44,960
catch groups of teens and children up on

1914
01:35:42,719 --> 01:35:48,000
their vaccines since their rates

1915
01:35:44,960 --> 01:35:50,320
declined during CO 19.

1916
01:35:48,000 --> 01:35:52,320
And whereas the clinical services

1917
01:35:50,320 --> 01:35:56,639
division of the Dallas County Health and

1918
01:35:52,320 --> 01:36:01,360
Human Services is committed to ensuring

1919
01:35:56,639 --> 01:36:03,440
quality ensuring quality assurance by

1920
01:36:01,360 --> 01:36:06,320
protecting the health and well-being of

1921
01:36:03,440 --> 01:36:08,560
the residents of Dallas County. The

1922
01:36:06,320 --> 01:36:11,760
Dallas County immunization clinics

1923
01:36:08,560 --> 01:36:14,800
provide adult, child, routine, and

1924
01:36:11,760 --> 01:36:17,679
travel immunizations to residents. In

1925
01:36:14,800 --> 01:36:19,920
doing so, they will continue to fulfill

1926
01:36:17,679 --> 01:36:22,480
their mission by promoting healthy

1927
01:36:19,920 --> 01:36:24,960
communities and environments in Dallas

1928
01:36:22,480 --> 01:36:27,360
County. Now, therefore, be it resolved,

1929
01:36:24,960 --> 01:36:31,120
the Dallas County Commissioner's Court

1930
01:36:27,360 --> 01:36:34,000
formally recognizes August 2026 as a

1931
01:36:31,120 --> 01:36:37,040
national immunization awareness month

1932
01:36:34,000 --> 01:36:39,600
and encourages all to get back on and

1933
01:36:37,040 --> 01:36:42,480
continue their vaccination schedules to

1934
01:36:39,600 --> 01:36:44,960
help us to maintain a healthy world. And

1935
01:36:42,480 --> 01:36:47,440
I so move Second.

1936
01:36:44,960 --> 01:36:47,760
» All those in favor signify by saying I.

1937
01:36:47,440 --> 01:36:48,239
» I.

1938
01:36:47,760 --> 01:36:50,239
» I.

1939
01:36:48,239 --> 01:36:53,360
» Motion carries unanimously.

1940
01:36:50,239 --> 01:36:55,040
» Who do I see all over the county?

1941
01:36:53,360 --> 01:36:58,080
» Uh, now Commissioner Daniel, thank you

1942
01:36:55,040 --> 01:36:59,920
so much for this resolution and um

1943
01:36:58,080 --> 01:37:01,920
bringing attention to the importance of

1944
01:36:59,920 --> 01:37:04,560
immunizations. It's sort of crazy that

1945
01:37:01,920 --> 01:37:06,960
we're still having to uh fight some of

1946
01:37:04,560 --> 01:37:09,040
these fights about it that uh you know

1947
01:37:06,960 --> 01:37:11,520
in this day and age we're seeing measles

1948
01:37:09,040 --> 01:37:12,719
outbreaks, things like that. Uh but it

1949
01:37:11,520 --> 01:37:14,159
is so important. It was one of the

1950
01:37:12,719 --> 01:37:16,719
greatest public health achievements of

1951
01:37:14,159 --> 01:37:18,800
the last century and uh it's effective

1952
01:37:16,719 --> 01:37:21,840
and it's so great to hear Commissioner

1953
01:37:18,800 --> 01:37:24,480
Price how uh big an advocate you are for

1954
01:37:21,840 --> 01:37:28,800
immunizations and life saving as you

1955
01:37:24,480 --> 01:37:30,880
recognized. Um so um it it right now

1956
01:37:28,800 --> 01:37:32,880
August in particular is usually our

1957
01:37:30,880 --> 01:37:35,760
busiest busiest month. It's back to

1958
01:37:32,880 --> 01:37:38,320
school time and so it's very timely uh

1959
01:37:35,760 --> 01:37:40,159
to encourage everyone uh to get those

1960
01:37:38,320 --> 01:37:41,520
back to school shots and everyone just

1961
01:37:40,159 --> 01:37:43,199
to make sure that they're up to date on

1962
01:37:41,520 --> 01:37:44,800
their immunizations and and as we said

1963
01:37:43,199 --> 01:37:47,600
before this is all with partnerships

1964
01:37:44,800 --> 01:37:50,000
with the FQC's and if they're still here

1965
01:37:47,600 --> 01:37:52,480
they're tremendous partner um and and

1966
01:37:50,000 --> 01:37:55,760
the staff here and you all see Marissa

1967
01:37:52,480 --> 01:37:58,000

1968
01:37:55,760 --> 01:38:00,719
night in our community events and

01:38:00,719 --> 01:38:04,480
program and all the other partners and

1971
01:38:02,400 --> 01:38:06,320
and let me see if Dr. Lozano wants to

1972
01:38:04,480 --> 01:38:08,960
say something who came from one of the

1973
01:38:06,320 --> 01:38:11,760
FQC's also and is out there promoting

1974
01:38:08,960 --> 01:38:14,480
all of our vaccine clinics. Uh but it is

1975
01:38:11,760 --> 01:38:17,119
such an important and core uh effort for

1976
01:38:14,480 --> 01:38:18,880
our uh health department and it is one

1977
01:38:17,119 --> 01:38:19,760
of the most important things that we can

1978
01:38:18,880 --> 01:38:22,400
do. So thank you.

1979
01:38:19,760 --> 01:38:25,040
» Do not take it for granted.

1980
01:38:22,400 --> 01:38:29,040
Again, thank you for the [clears throat]

1981

now is working on what I call an

1986
01:38:43,679 --> 01:38:48,800
outreach

1987
01:38:45,199 --> 01:38:51,600
uh plan. We saw we got a heat map. We

1988
01:38:48,800 --> 01:38:55,199
saw how many were going into the main

1989
01:38:51,600 --> 01:38:58,800
campus at 2377

1990
01:38:55,199 --> 01:39:01,520
and now it's about accessibility and I

1991
01:38:58,800 --> 01:39:04,080
don't know how from that side but I've

1992
01:39:01,520 --> 01:39:05,840
asked her to talk about how you reroute

1993
01:39:04,080 --> 01:39:10,000
those individuals

1994
01:39:05,840 --> 01:39:12,800

1995
01:39:10,000 --> 01:39:14,719
particular clinic. uh you know we we've

1996
01:39:12,800 --> 01:39:18,800
got to we've got to help manage I mean

1997
01:39:14,719 --> 01:39:20,480
people a lot of like homing pigeons they

1998
01:39:18,800 --> 01:39:22,239
just keep you know if you keep they

1999
01:39:20,480 --> 01:39:26,719
they'll keep going they'll keep going

2000
01:39:22,239 --> 01:39:30,560
there when we have taken and basically

2001
01:39:26,719 --> 01:39:33,920
created a better access excess model

2002
01:39:30,560 --> 01:39:37,040
additionally my staff told me that uh

2003
01:39:33,920 --> 01:39:40,159
you have a service

2004
01:39:37,040 --> 01:39:42,480
a transportation service and I was

2005
01:39:40,159 --> 01:39:47,040
really pleased to look at, you know,

2006
01:39:42,480 --> 01:39:48,560
those particular numbers, how you manage

2007
01:39:47,040 --> 01:39:50,480
pickup,

2008
01:39:48,560 --> 01:39:53,600
deliverables,

2009
01:39:50,480 --> 01:39:56,080
um, times, etc.

2010
01:39:53,600 --> 01:39:58,639
I was real pleased to find that out. And

2011
01:39:56,080 --> 01:40:00,800
so that goes that goes a long way. Is it

2012
01:39:58,639 --> 01:40:03,760
two vans or one? I can't remember. So

2013
01:40:00,800 --> 01:40:08,159
much so much data. But but you do a

2014
01:40:03,760 --> 01:40:11,520
great job of getting those people to our

2015
01:40:08,159 --> 01:40:14,239
services who cannot afford to get there.

2016
01:40:11,520 --> 01:40:16,080
And so thank you.

2017
01:40:14,239 --> 01:40:17,920
» Hi, good morning. Thank you so much for

2018
01:40:16,080 --> 01:40:20,639
having us. I just wanted to recognize

2019
01:40:17,920 --> 01:40:22,320
our staff. Um they are the ones that are

2020
01:40:20,639 --> 01:40:24,639
the boots on the ground. They are the

2021
01:40:22,320 --> 01:40:26,960
ones that are working tirelessly in our

2022
01:40:24,639 --> 01:40:28,880
clinics. So if anything, I just want to

2023
01:40:26,960 --> 01:40:31,280
make sure that we recognize them. I know

2024
01:40:28,880 --> 01:40:33,040
everybody's not here, but they deserve a

2025
01:40:31,280 --> 01:40:34,639
round of applause because they work

2026
01:40:33,040 --> 01:40:37,259
tirelessly

2027
01:40:34,639 --> 01:40:37,259
um [applause]

2028
01:40:37,280 --> 01:40:42,800
um developing new partners. I mean, they

2029
01:40:41,199 --> 01:40:44,239
I I just have a great team. I just want

2030
01:40:42,800 --> 01:40:45,600
to make sure that they're recognized.

2031
01:40:44,239 --> 01:40:47,280
And then speaking about uh

2032
01:40:45,600 --> 01:40:48,960
transportation, Commissioner Price, we

2033
01:40:47,280 --> 01:40:51,520
also have developed some transportation

2034
01:40:48,960 --> 01:40:53,199
for our moms in Dallas County. So we for

2035
01:40:51,520 --> 01:40:54,719
our healthy start program, we do have a

2036
01:40:53,199 --> 01:40:56,960
transportation services that is

2037
01:40:54,719 --> 01:40:58,480
connecting them to um their medical

2038
01:40:56,960 --> 01:41:00,159
appointments and anything that they

2039
01:40:58,480 --> 01:41:03,119
need. So we're very super excited about

2040
01:41:00,159 --> 01:41:05,280
that, you know, breaking those barriers.

2041
01:41:03,119 --> 01:41:06,960
» Thank you. Thank you, Dr. Losano. And

2042
01:41:05,280 --> 01:41:09,360
your backpack is open. [laughter]

2043
01:41:06,960 --> 01:41:11,679
» It is.

2044
01:41:09,360 --> 01:41:13,600
» Good morning, everyone, commissioners,

2045
01:41:11,679 --> 01:41:14,960
judge, members of the court. My name is

2046
01:41:13,600 --> 01:41:17,040
Misa Gonzalez. I'm the community

2047
01:41:14,960 --> 01:41:18,719
outreach program manager at Dallas

2048
01:41:17,040 --> 01:41:20,159
County Health and Human Services. Thank

2049
01:41:18,719 --> 01:41:23,280
you, Commissioner Daniel, for this

2050
01:41:20,159 --> 01:41:25,280
resolution. Um, as they've all said, you

2051
01:41:23,280 --> 01:41:30,000
know, vaccination programs over the past

2052
01:41:25,280 --> 01:41:33,119
50 years have prevented an estimated 154

2053
01:41:30,000 --> 01:41:34,800
million deaths in 14 different diseases,

2054
01:41:33,119 --> 01:41:37,840
according to a study published in the

2055
01:41:34,800 --> 01:41:41,119
Lancet. Her immunity is crucial when

2056
01:41:37,840 --> 01:41:43,520
looking to contain an outbreak. But as

2057
01:41:41,119 --> 01:41:46,480
vaccination rates decrease, as we've

2058
01:41:43,520 --> 01:41:49,440
seen, the spread of once eliminated

2059
01:41:46,480 --> 01:41:51,360
diseases continue to grow.

2060
01:41:49,440 --> 01:41:54,239
The first vaccine for measles was

2061
01:41:51,360 --> 01:41:58,080
marketed in 1963 and the CDC declared

2062
01:41:54,239 --> 01:42:02,159
measles was eliminated in 2000. By May

2063
01:41:58,080 --> 01:42:04,239
2025, a total of 1,024 confirmed measles

2064
01:42:02,159 --> 01:42:06,400
cases were reported across 31

2065
01:42:04,239 --> 01:42:09,040
jurisdictions. A total of 14 outbreaks

2066
01:42:06,400 --> 01:42:12,320
have occurred, of which 96 were reported

2067
01:42:09,040 --> 01:42:15,520
among patients who were unvaccinated or

2068
01:42:12,320 --> 01:42:17,760
no known vaccination status. And I hate

2069
01:42:15,520 --> 01:42:20,320
to say this, Commissioner Price and

2070
01:42:17,760 --> 01:42:23,040
everybody, but uh HHS Secretary Robert

2071
01:42:20,320 --> 01:42:25,679
F. Kennedy Jr. is a long-standing

2072
01:42:23,040 --> 01:42:28,880
vaccine skeptic, as we all know,

2073
01:42:25,679 --> 01:42:31,520
» Rooted in discredited research. The

2074
01:42:28,880 --> 01:42:33,520
vaccine autism connection, which he

2075
01:42:31,520 --> 01:42:36,639
continues to promote, was originally

2076
01:42:33,520 --> 01:42:39,280
based on two flawed and now retracted

2077
01:42:36,639 --> 01:42:41,280
studies by Andrew Wakefield. Wakefield's

2078
01:42:39,280 --> 01:42:44,000
claims, which lacked proper controls and

2079
01:42:41,280 --> 01:42:47,119
were later found to be falsified, have

2080
01:42:44,000 --> 01:42:49,600
since been scientifically disproven. And

2081
01:42:47,119 --> 01:42:51,679
despite this, experts are concerned that

2082
01:42:49,600 --> 01:42:54,000
Kennedy's prominent role and outspoken

2083
01:42:51,679 --> 01:42:56,400
skepticism could erode public

2084
01:42:54,000 --> 01:42:59,280
confidence. And we're seeing that with

2085
01:42:56,400 --> 01:43:01,760
Fouchy, what we saw earlier this week in

2086
01:42:59,280 --> 01:43:03,920
the news, potentially leading to a

2087
01:43:01,760 --> 01:43:06,000
decline in vaccination rates and an

2088
01:43:03,920 --> 01:43:07,520
increase in preventable diseases.

2089
01:43:06,000 --> 01:43:09,600
Although he advocates for public

2090
01:43:07,520 --> 01:43:11,679
transparency and maintains a vaccination

2091
01:43:09,600 --> 01:43:14,639
will remain an option, his influence as

2092
01:43:11,679 --> 01:43:16,560
HHS secretary could introduce challenges

2093
01:43:14,639 --> 01:43:18,080
to establish federal regulatories

2094
01:43:16,560 --> 01:43:20,560
practices.

2095
01:43:18,080 --> 01:43:22,560
I've personally seen a decrease for

2096
01:43:20,560 --> 01:43:26,480
demand in childhood vaccines in our

2097
01:43:22,560 --> 01:43:28,480
Hispanic communities for fear that we

2098
01:43:26,480 --> 01:43:30,719
are ICE or we will turn over their

2099
01:43:28,480 --> 01:43:32,400
information to ICE, which are valid

2100
01:43:30,719 --> 01:43:34,080
concerns.

2101
01:43:32,400 --> 01:43:35,920
Uh while skepticism, fear and

2102
01:43:34,080 --> 01:43:38,080
misinformation continue to circulate,

2103
01:43:35,920 --> 01:43:40,560
the scientific consensus is clear.

2104
01:43:38,080 --> 01:43:42,560
Getting vaccinated is a responsible and

2105
01:43:40,560 --> 01:43:45,600
powerful choice that protects not only

2106
01:43:42,560 --> 01:43:48,320
the individuals but also a the wider

2107
01:43:45,600 --> 01:43:50,480
community. We encourage everyone uh to

2108
01:43:48,320 --> 01:43:52,080
stay updated on their vaccines. Parents

2109
01:43:50,480 --> 01:43:54,320
and guardians, we encourage all your

2110
01:43:52,080 --> 01:43:56,960
children to get their vaccines updated

2111
01:43:54,320 --> 01:43:58,880
before school, not after school starts.

2112
01:43:56,960 --> 01:44:00,960
Uh Dallas County offers immunizations

2113
01:43:58,880 --> 01:44:03,679
for adults and children at any of our

2114
01:44:00,960 --> 01:44:05,679
nine new locations. One including the

2115
01:44:03,679 --> 01:44:08,159
new location on South Poke Street, No

2116
01:44:05,679 --> 01:44:11,280
Cliff. Immunizations for children

2117
01:44:08,159 --> 01:44:13,600
uninsured or underinsured. There's a $10

2118
01:44:11,280 --> 01:44:15,679
fee for the first visit, five for any

2119
01:44:13,600 --> 01:44:17,119
subsequent visits. However, no one will

2120
01:44:15,679 --> 01:44:18,800
be turned away because of their

2121
01:44:17,119 --> 01:44:21,920
inability to pay because we know that

2122
01:44:18,800 --> 01:44:24,080
cost too can be a barrier. Uh you can

2123
01:44:21,920 --> 01:44:28,239
find us in the community this week. Uh

2124
01:44:24,080 --> 01:44:30,320

2125
01:44:28,239 --> 01:44:34,719
August the 5th, we will be at Bontton

2126
01:44:30,320 --> 01:44:36,639

August 8th from 10:00 a.m. to 2 will be

01:44:36,639 --> 01:44:43,119

immunizations record and we'll get

2135
01:44:54,400 --> 01:44:58,400
everybody up to date. Thank you.

2136
01:44:56,400 --> 01:45:00,239
» You take every opportunity to do your

2137
01:44:58,400 --> 01:45:02,480
community education. Yes, I do.

2138
01:45:00,239 --> 01:45:03,760
» It is noted and I say thank you.

2139
01:45:02,480 --> 01:45:07,199
» Thank you. Thank you everyone.

2140
01:45:03,760 --> 01:45:10,080
» And we love your passion. You know, you

» Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.

2146

» Thank you.

2147
01:45:21,679 --> 01:45:26,080
One other person I just wanted to see

01:56:44,239 --> 01:56:49,760
the summer. Uh we're seeing a very

2356
01:56:46,480 --> 01:56:53,679
slight increase uh as has been seen in

2357
01:56:49,760 --> 01:56:56,560
past uh years but certainly much lower

2358
01:56:53,679 --> 01:56:59,599
uh than what we've seen in the past. So

2359
01:56:56,560 --> 01:57:03,040
uh some increase uh but not uh nearly

2360
01:56:59,599 --> 01:57:04,480
what we've had in the past. The vaccine

2361
01:57:03,040 --> 01:57:06,080
still work but some of that is due to

2362
01:57:04,480 --> 01:57:08,239
that seasonal nature and also some of

2363
01:57:06,080 --> 01:57:10,960
the waning immunity uh when it's as it's

2364
01:57:08,239 --> 01:57:13,440
been longer since people have uh had the

2365
01:57:10,960 --> 01:57:16,639
vaccine and things. So but you can again

2366
01:57:13,440 --> 01:57:21,360
see some increases in these indicators.

2367
01:57:16,639 --> 01:57:26,080
Um fortunately uh the mortality rate has

2368
01:57:21,360 --> 01:57:29,360
been very low and still flat.

2369
01:57:26,080 --> 01:57:32,400
Most recently,

2370
01:57:29,360 --> 01:57:35,119
uh wastewater surveillance also shows

2371
01:57:32,400 --> 01:57:38,639
the same indicators again some slight uh

2372
01:57:35,119 --> 01:57:41,679
increases uh recently but in the context

2373
01:57:38,639 --> 01:57:43,599
of everything else uh it's much lower

2374
01:57:41,679 --> 01:57:46,000
and we still monitor the variance.

2375
01:57:43,599 --> 01:57:47,599
Nothing new that's of concern.

2376
01:57:46,000 --> 01:57:50,400
Everything's

2377
01:57:47,599 --> 01:57:53,199
so again still continuing to watch

2378
01:57:50,400 --> 01:57:55,040
closely though. Uh, as we talked about

2379
01:57:53,199 --> 01:57:56,639
vaccines, uh, very important and

2380
01:57:55,040 --> 01:57:58,880
especially now with the back to school,

2381
01:57:56,639 --> 01:58:01,280
here's some of our, uh, vaccine clinics

2382
01:57:58,880 --> 01:58:03,840
and our community outreach efforts. And

2383
01:58:01,280 --> 01:58:05,599
with Marissa and her team, uh, here's

2384
01:58:03,840 --> 01:58:09,840
what we have scheduled for COVID and

2385
01:58:05,599 --> 01:58:11,920
flu. Uh, and then also uh, for some of

2386
01:58:09,840 --> 01:58:14,719
the childhood vaccines and again back to

2387
01:58:11,920 --> 01:58:16,880
school right now is the uh, big time and

2388
01:58:14,719 --> 01:58:19,119
we encourage parents to don't wait till

2389
01:58:16,880 --> 01:58:20,080
the last minute. Please try to get them

2390
01:58:19,119 --> 01:58:21,760
as soon as you can.

2391
01:58:20,080 --> 01:58:24,239
» Okay. But are you monitoring year

2392
01:58:21,760 --> 01:58:25,360
overyear where where are we with these

2393
01:58:24,239 --> 01:58:27,440
vaccines? I know

2394
01:58:25,360 --> 01:58:29,199
» So it's actually yeah we're very

2395
01:58:27,440 --> 01:58:32,560
concerned that you know our numbers that

2396
01:58:29,199 --> 01:58:34,880
we're seeing are uh down dramatically

2397
01:58:32,560 --> 01:58:37,040
and it's uh you know if you've been to

2398
01:58:34,880 --> 01:58:39,520
our building sometime right back to

2399
01:58:37,040 --> 01:58:41,840
school the lobby can have lined out the

2400
01:58:39,520 --> 01:58:44,560
door can be filled. We are not seeing

2401
01:58:41,840 --> 01:58:46,080
that this year and last year we didn't

2402
01:58:44,560 --> 01:58:50,080
see it either and we've seen it actually

2403
01:58:46,080 --> 01:58:51,840
in the actual numbers. Um and a lot of a

2404
01:58:50,080 --> 01:58:53,760
variety of reasons. Some of it, you

2405
01:58:51,840 --> 01:58:57,920
know, we the mixed messages coming from

2406
01:58:53,760 --> 01:59:00,560
the federal uh level. Uh more confusion

2407
01:58:57,920 --> 01:59:02,639
uh about vaccine recommendations. Uh

2408
01:59:00,560 --> 01:59:04,560
there was a state law that was just

2409
01:59:02,639 --> 01:59:07,440
passed last session that made it easier

2410
01:59:04,560 --> 01:59:09,360
for parents to opt out of the school

2411
01:59:07,440 --> 01:59:12,239
requirements. And then also what we hear

2412
01:59:09,360 --> 01:59:14,000
and uh Marissa and her team and is that

2413
01:59:12,239 --> 01:59:17,920
there a lot of our community is

2414
01:59:14,000 --> 01:59:20,080
concerned about the ICE um situation and

2415
01:59:17,920 --> 01:59:21,760
don't want to come out. Uh it was good

2416
01:59:20,080 --> 01:59:24,719
again we do it in partnership with the

2417
01:59:21,760 --> 01:59:26,480
FQC's we were talking about uh some of

2418
01:59:24,719 --> 01:59:28,000
you know the if you know people are

2419
01:59:26,480 --> 01:59:31,760
seeing the same thing I mean hopefully

2420
01:59:28,000 --> 01:59:33,920
maybe different uh efforts might uh be

2421
01:59:31,760 --> 01:59:36,400
more comfortable for the community and

2422
01:59:33,920 --> 01:59:38,320
we hope that they're you know getting it

2423
01:59:36,400 --> 01:59:39,760
at other places if not through us but

2424
01:59:38,320 --> 01:59:41,199
we're definitely seeing that decline and

2425
01:59:39,760 --> 01:59:42,719
when we look at the overall county

2426
01:59:41,199 --> 01:59:44,560
numbers that the state's now starting to

2427
01:59:42,719 --> 01:59:46,880
provide us we are seeing you know

2428
01:59:44,560 --> 01:59:48,560
declines in the childhood vaccination

2429
01:59:46,880 --> 01:59:50,000
rates and that's what we'll see some of

2430
01:59:48,560 --> 01:59:52,320
this, you know, I mean, again, what I

2431
01:59:50,000 --> 01:59:56,080
mentioned earlier with measles, it's

2432
01:59:52,320 --> 01:59:57,440
just crazy that um, you know, in 2026,

2433
01:59:56,080 --> 01:59:58,320
uh, and I I'll show you some of those

2434
01:59:57,440 --> 02:00:01,807
numbers in a second.

2435
01:59:58,320 --> 02:00:03,679
» Yeah. that. But I just but I guess

2436
02:00:01,807 --> 02:00:06,639
[clears throat] my charge as chair of

2437
02:00:03,679 --> 02:00:11,280
public health is that that you

2438
02:00:06,639 --> 02:00:13,520
crocodatize a plan that says that you

2439
02:00:11,280 --> 02:00:16,000
FQC's

2440
02:00:13,520 --> 02:00:19,599
um ISDs

2441
02:00:16,000 --> 02:00:21,360
that somehow there's a

2442
02:00:19,599 --> 02:00:25,040
a different kind of outreach. I don't

2443
02:00:21,360 --> 02:00:29,360
know how you can cure that uh concern

2444
02:00:25,040 --> 02:00:32,800
about certain federal agencies but but

2445
02:00:29,360 --> 02:00:36,320
one thing about you know the this whole

2446
02:00:32,800 --> 02:00:39,040
disease is that uh

2447
02:00:36,320 --> 02:00:42,000
whereas ICE or anybody else doesn't stop

2448
02:00:39,040 --> 02:00:44,159
there and that whole her immunity and

2449
02:00:42,000 --> 02:00:46,719
contagiousness

2450
02:00:44,159 --> 02:00:48,880
it's

2451
02:00:46,719 --> 02:00:51,599
we've just got to at least say we're

2452
02:00:48,880 --> 02:00:54,000
from Dallas County side

2453
02:00:51,599 --> 02:00:56,639
putting forth a plan and I I guess

2454
02:00:54,000 --> 02:00:59,119
that's what I'd like to ask you to do

2455
02:00:56,639 --> 02:01:02,000
say who's in charge so we can see it and

2456
02:00:59,119 --> 02:01:03,679
try to help disseminate it best we can.

2457
02:01:02,000 --> 02:01:06,320
» Sure. And as you know we have our

2458
02:01:03,679 --> 02:01:10,159
monthly immunization uh call bringing

2459
02:01:06,320 --> 02:01:11,840
together all of the partners. We keep

2460
02:01:10,159 --> 02:01:14,560
» Also trying to outreach in particular

2461
02:01:11,840 --> 02:01:18,080
the FQC's and other partners county

2462
02:01:14,560 --> 02:01:20,320
medical society. Um, and so yeah, it is

2463
02:01:18,080 --> 02:01:22,000
a lot of collaboration and partnership

2464
02:01:20,320 --> 02:01:23,440
that works on this, but um,

2465
02:01:22,000 --> 02:01:25,520
» But I want to see your dissemination

2466
02:01:23,440 --> 02:01:27,280
with those FQC's

2467
02:01:25,520 --> 02:01:30,080
where they're located. And I appreciate

2468
02:01:27,280 --> 02:01:32,639
the fact that we we got that heat map,

2469
02:01:30,080 --> 02:01:36,239
you know, we know who's going where

2470
02:01:32,639 --> 02:01:37,760
coming into 2377,

2471
02:01:36,239 --> 02:01:40,480
but I want to know about we got all

2472
02:01:37,760 --> 02:01:42,480
these clinics and I want to know, you

2473
02:01:40,480 --> 02:01:46,320
know, who's utilizing, how do we reach

2474
02:01:42,480 --> 02:01:48,719
out in that community? uh that you were

2475
02:01:46,320 --> 02:01:51,760
able my staff was able to call those

2476
02:01:48,719 --> 02:01:55,199
numbers. So I want to make sure we send

2477
02:01:51,760 --> 02:01:58,000
them and saying hey at um Poke Street

2478
02:01:55,199 --> 02:02:00,960
we're here we got immunization Monday

2479
02:01:58,000 --> 02:02:02,880
through Friday etc because I mean you're

2480
02:02:00,960 --> 02:02:04,960
not open on the weekend either except

2481
02:02:02,880 --> 02:02:06,400
that your people out in the community

2482
02:02:04,960 --> 02:02:09,040
» So I just want to see a plan

2483
02:02:06,400 --> 02:02:12,800
» And and you know uh Dr. Hong Parkland

2484
02:02:09,040 --> 02:02:15,040
has done a really good job on um saying

2485
02:02:12,800 --> 02:02:17,040
community clinic your community clinic

2486
02:02:15,040 --> 02:02:19,679
in your neighborhood close by. You don't

2487
02:02:17,040 --> 02:02:22,639
have to drive a long way. Uh feel safe,

2488
02:02:19,679 --> 02:02:24,239
secure. Use those kind of words without

2489
02:02:22,639 --> 02:02:26,800
saying what the government doesn't want

2490
02:02:24,239 --> 02:02:29,920
to say. Don't be scared. And we're

2491
02:02:26,800 --> 02:02:31,440
seeing uh and all of our all of us on

2492
02:02:29,920 --> 02:02:35,040
saw those numbers already on the

2493
02:02:31,440 --> 02:02:37,440
Parkland briefing. Uh the people are

2494
02:02:35,040 --> 02:02:39,920
driving more into the community clinics

2495
02:02:37,440 --> 02:02:41,440
than downtown Parkland, you know, the

2496
02:02:39,920 --> 02:02:45,199
main parkland. So

2497
02:02:41,440 --> 02:02:47,920
» That message I think is sounding good. I

2498
02:02:45,199 --> 02:02:50,159
don't know what the future will hold on

2499
02:02:47,920 --> 02:02:53,199
this but I think doing something like

2500
02:02:50,159 --> 02:02:54,960
that. We are in your neighborhood. You

2501
02:02:53,199 --> 02:02:56,480
don't have to drive far

2502
02:02:54,960 --> 02:02:58,159
» And um

2503
02:02:56,480 --> 02:02:58,880
» Yeah. And as you know this Marissa and

2504
02:02:58,159 --> 02:03:00,320
her team are trying

2505
02:02:58,880 --> 02:03:02,480
» Oh, they're doing a great job. Yeah.

2506
02:03:00,320 --> 02:03:03,119
» But I mean it's going to take some time.

2507
02:03:02,480 --> 02:03:03,760
» Yes.

2508
02:03:03,119 --> 02:03:05,520
» Thank you.

2509
02:03:03,760 --> 02:03:08,159
» Well, thanks. And and again, any other

2510
02:03:05,520 --> 02:03:10,719
messaging or whatever that uh you want

2511
02:03:08,159 --> 02:03:14,560
us to amplify or want us to get out,

2512
02:03:10,719 --> 02:03:16,639
please let us know. Uh so good news, uh

2513
02:03:14,560 --> 02:03:19,679
you know, flu season is over. Here's the

2514
02:03:16,639 --> 02:03:23,840
CDC flu surveillance report. Everyone's

2515
02:03:19,679 --> 02:03:26,000
green on the states. Um this is our own

2516
02:03:23,840 --> 02:03:30,080
uh respiratory virus dashboards. And

2517
02:03:26,000 --> 02:03:34,400
similarly, uh flu has gone down. Uh

2518
02:03:30,080 --> 02:03:36,239
we've seen uh RSV uh has uh lower

2519
02:03:34,400 --> 02:03:38,960
activity this year than some in the past

2520
02:03:36,239 --> 02:03:42,800
and it's hopefully it's coming down.

2521
02:03:38,960 --> 02:03:45,840
Also um wastewater surveillance shows

2522
02:03:42,800 --> 02:03:49,040
similar things. No activity for flu. Uh

2523
02:03:45,840 --> 02:03:51,360
RSV some a little activity but again in

2524
02:03:49,040 --> 02:03:55,480
uh compared to uh prior seasons and

2525
02:03:51,360 --> 02:03:55,480
things much lower amplitude.

2526
02:03:56,080 --> 02:04:02,960
uh WestNile virus. Uh the latest uh this

2527
02:03:59,760 --> 02:04:06,080
year we've had a total of 140 traps that

2528
02:04:02,960 --> 02:04:08,400
have tested positive for Westnau virus.

2529
02:04:06,080 --> 02:04:11,840
Fortunately, we have had no human

2530
02:04:08,400 --> 02:04:14,960
westnau virus cases uh reported to date

2531
02:04:11,840 --> 02:04:17,679
uh and zero deaths. Uh so that's good.

2532
02:04:14,960 --> 02:04:19,840
If you look at the uh Westnau virus

2533
02:04:17,679 --> 02:04:22,400
vector index comparing to prior years

2534
02:04:19,840 --> 02:04:23,679
and that's been something that you know

2535
02:04:22,400 --> 02:04:25,840
really is sort of an indicator of the

2536
02:04:23,679 --> 02:04:28,880
severity this year uh we've been pretty

2537
02:04:25,840 --> 02:04:31,920
low activity uh compared to certainly

2538
02:04:28,880 --> 02:04:34,080
2024 and other prior years.

2539
02:04:31,920 --> 02:04:36,800
» What do the traps look like? Because I'm

2540
02:04:34,080 --> 02:04:39,760
getting complaint. Uh did we did we

2541
02:04:36,800 --> 02:04:42,639
spray in one of my cities south? Have we

2542
02:04:39,760 --> 02:04:44,400
had to institute spraying? Oh yeah, we

2543
02:04:42,639 --> 02:04:45,520
spray when the traps come back.

2544
02:04:44,400 --> 02:04:46,960
Positive. Testing positive.

2545
02:04:45,520 --> 02:04:48,719
» Yeah, but but what do they look like

2546
02:04:46,960 --> 02:04:51,520
year over year? That I guess that's what

2547
02:04:48,719 --> 02:04:52,000
I'm looking for.

2548
02:04:51,520 --> 02:04:54,480
» Say that again.

2549
02:04:52,000 --> 02:04:55,920
» I know in I'm I'm trying to find out

2550
02:04:54,480 --> 02:05:00,560
what what are they what are they looking

2551
02:04:55,920 --> 02:05:02,480
like? Has the heat um created a issue

2552
02:05:00,560 --> 02:05:04,400
with regards to people are complaining

2553
02:05:02,480 --> 02:05:06,960
about more and more mosquitoes. I'm just

2554
02:05:04,400 --> 02:05:09,920
wondering what do the traps reveal?

2555
02:05:06,960 --> 02:05:13,040
» Yeah. And we test uh I mean we spray

2556
02:05:09,920 --> 02:05:16,320
after we get a positive trap for Westnau

2557
02:05:13,040 --> 02:05:18,800
virus. We don't just spray for nuisance

2558
02:05:16,320 --> 02:05:20,480
but we do spray when we get the positive

2559
02:05:18,800 --> 02:05:21,840
test back.

2560
02:05:20,480 --> 02:05:25,960
» And so we can provide you more

2561
02:05:21,840 --> 02:05:25,960
information if you want. Okay.

2562
02:05:26,400 --> 02:05:32,239
» Um again we were talking about measles.

2563
02:05:28,960 --> 02:05:35,199
Uh you can see already now in 2026 and

2564
02:05:32,239 --> 02:05:37,920
2025 was like the highest number in 30

2565
02:05:35,199 --> 02:05:41,440
years. Uh now we've already thus far

2566
02:05:37,920 --> 02:05:44,480
just in 2026 surpassed uh the number of

2567
02:05:41,440 --> 02:05:47,199
measles cases nationally uh than what we

2568
02:05:44,480 --> 02:05:49,679
saw last year. Uh also the state health

2569
02:05:47,199 --> 02:05:52,560
department just sent out alert last week

2570
02:05:49,679 --> 02:05:54,880
about an outbreak in Montgomery County.

2571
02:05:52,560 --> 02:05:58,159
Um some I think four confirmed cases out

2572
02:05:54,880 --> 02:06:00,719
there. So, um, it's again tragic that

2573
02:05:58,159 --> 02:06:02,560
we're in 2026 still talking about it

2574
02:06:00,719 --> 02:06:05,440
when it was declared eliminated in the

2575
02:06:02,560 --> 02:06:07,280
United States in the year 2000 and very

2576
02:06:05,440 --> 02:06:09,520
likely and they're waiting until after

2577
02:06:07,280 --> 02:06:12,159
the midterms uh that's going to be

2578
02:06:09,520 --> 02:06:15,760
declared that we've lost our um

2579
02:06:12,159 --> 02:06:18,960
elimination status for me.

2580
02:06:15,760 --> 02:06:20,560
Did want to mention then cycllospora

2581
02:06:18,960 --> 02:06:21,840
uh you probably been hearing about it in

2582
02:06:20,560 --> 02:06:23,520
the news actually. It's interesting. I

2583
02:06:21,840 --> 02:06:25,440
actually did when I was with CDC

2584
02:06:23,520 --> 02:06:27,599
investigated the very first US outbreak

2585
02:06:25,440 --> 02:06:29,920
of cycles

2586
02:06:27,599 --> 02:06:31,760
quite a few years ago. Now it's uh we're

2587
02:06:29,920 --> 02:06:35,280
seeing it more. It's a parasite causing

2588
02:06:31,760 --> 02:06:38,159
this diarrheal illness. Um that's when

2589
02:06:35,280 --> 02:06:42,320
they people consume uh contaminated uh

2590
02:06:38,159 --> 02:06:45,360
food or water. Um and the symptoms you

2591
02:06:42,320 --> 02:06:47,760
know really this profuse watery diarrhea

2592
02:06:45,360 --> 02:06:49,679
some cramping loss of appetite. But one

2593
02:06:47,760 --> 02:06:53,199
of the distinctive things is that it can

2594
02:06:49,679 --> 02:06:54,719
come in the cycles and uh so you can you

2595
02:06:53,199 --> 02:06:56,159
get it for a few days and then it goes

2596
02:06:54,719 --> 02:06:57,599
away. You get some relief and then it

2597
02:06:56,159 --> 02:06:59,440
comes back again. And that was one of

2598
02:06:57,599 --> 02:07:03,199
the things that uh certainly

2599
02:06:59,440 --> 02:07:07,440
distinguished that. Um it's been linked

2600
02:07:03,199 --> 02:07:10,320
to various um outbreaks like uh I think

2601
02:07:07,440 --> 02:07:13,760
in the past raspberries, cilantro, uh

2602
02:07:10,320 --> 02:07:17,119
this one is now to the iceberg lettuce

2603
02:07:13,760 --> 02:07:19,679
from Taylor Farms. uh it can be treated

2604
02:07:17,119 --> 02:07:21,920
uh with uh trimethopone sul

2605
02:07:19,679 --> 02:07:24,560
sulfamethoxisole

2606
02:07:21,920 --> 02:07:27,360
uh antibiotic with good relief. Uh but

2607
02:07:24,560 --> 02:07:30,639
the symptoms again can last weeks to

2608
02:07:27,360 --> 02:07:33,760
months untreated. So really um you know

2609
02:07:30,639 --> 02:07:36,960
if someone develops uh diarrhea that

2610
02:07:33,760 --> 02:07:39,760
doesn't go away after several days, see

2611
02:07:36,960 --> 02:07:41,920
your uh healthc care provider. they can

2612
02:07:39,760 --> 02:07:45,599
do special tests to identify that and it

2613
02:07:41,920 --> 02:07:47,760
can be treated uh with um antibiotics.

2614
02:07:45,599 --> 02:07:50,719
And and one of the diff difficulties uh

2615
02:07:47,760 --> 02:07:53,599
with sort of investigating these is that

2616
02:07:50,719 --> 02:07:55,920
it usually appears maybe a week after

2617
02:07:53,599 --> 02:07:57,599
the person consumes the contaminated

2618
02:07:55,920 --> 02:08:00,800
product and it can be anywhere from two

2619
02:07:57,599 --> 02:08:03,119
to 14 days after. Uh so it's hard to

2620
02:08:00,800 --> 02:08:07,040
identify always what someone ate two

2621
02:08:03,119 --> 02:08:09,920
weeks before. Um, so some of the just uh

2622
02:08:07,040 --> 02:08:12,560
uh since May 1st, CDC has confirmed or

2623
02:08:09,920 --> 02:08:16,239
is investigating more than 18,000 cases

2624
02:08:12,560 --> 02:08:18,079
now in 45 states, 423 hospitalizations.

2625
02:08:16,239 --> 02:08:20,239
Michigan is sort of the epicenter of

2626
02:08:18,079 --> 02:08:21,760
this nine-state outbreak linked to the

2627
02:08:20,239 --> 02:08:24,079
iceberg lettuce that I mentioned

2628
02:08:21,760 --> 02:08:27,840
supplied by Taylor Farms farms. They've

2629
02:08:24,079 --> 02:08:30,400
reported over 11,000 people infected,

2630
02:08:27,840 --> 02:08:32,719
193 persons hospitalized. And then it

2631
02:08:30,400 --> 02:08:34,320
was just reported I think Monday two

2632
02:08:32,719 --> 02:08:37,360
people in Michigan died in connection

2633
02:08:34,320 --> 02:08:40,239
with this outbreak of cycles ris. And in

2634
02:08:37,360 --> 02:08:44,000
as of uh yesterday in Dallas County we

2635
02:08:40,239 --> 02:08:46,719
have 33 confirmed that have closed cases

2636
02:08:44,000 --> 02:08:49,199
and additional 14 open investigations

2637
02:08:46,719 --> 02:08:51,199
that we're still trying to close. So the

2638
02:08:49,199 --> 02:08:54,639
numbers are not near what Michigan's

2639
02:08:51,199 --> 02:08:56,639
seen. There's not been any specific um

2640
02:08:54,639 --> 02:08:59,679
» Why do you believe that? That's that's

2641
02:08:56,639 --> 02:09:02,079
where I was going. got 334

2642
02:08:59,679 --> 02:09:05,199
open investigate. What what what what's

2643
02:09:02,079 --> 02:09:07,119
what's going on here differently?

2644
02:09:05,199 --> 02:09:09,599
» Well, again, you know, the in Michigan

2645
02:09:07,119 --> 02:09:11,520
there was that specific that

2646
02:09:09,599 --> 02:09:13,119
contamination of that lettuce and I

2647
02:09:11,520 --> 02:09:14,800
think it was linked, let's say, to Taco

2648
02:09:13,119 --> 02:09:16,320
Bells, right? You know, that's part of

2649
02:09:14,800 --> 02:09:18,560
what at the federal level they try to

2650
02:09:16,320 --> 02:09:20,320
trace back where the distribution of

2651
02:09:18,560 --> 02:09:22,239
these products are. It seems to be more

2652
02:09:20,320 --> 02:09:24,960
in that area. Again, based on the

2653
02:09:22,239 --> 02:09:26,639
surveillance, we're not seeing that same

2654
02:09:24,960 --> 02:09:28,960
scale of an outbreak, but it's out

2655
02:09:26,639 --> 02:09:31,520
there. And we do seasonally see this

2656
02:09:28,960 --> 02:09:35,040
now. We we every season we're seeing

2657
02:09:31,520 --> 02:09:36,639
cases uh that it's difficult to pinpoint

2658
02:09:35,040 --> 02:09:38,560
when it's just these small numbers. And

2659
02:09:36,639 --> 02:09:40,239
again, we ask the people that's part of

2660
02:09:38,560 --> 02:09:41,760
our investigations, you know, what did

2661
02:09:40,239 --> 02:09:44,159
you eat? But they don't remember exactly

2662
02:09:41,760 --> 02:09:45,440
what they ate two weeks ago and to find

2663
02:09:44,159 --> 02:09:47,840
some of those links. But that's

2664
02:09:45,440 --> 02:09:49,040
» Ask a quick question because it's I

2665
02:09:47,840 --> 02:09:52,800
don't know the answer to this. I'm going

2666
02:09:49,040 --> 02:09:54,800
to ask you. So Taylor Farms is a giant

2667
02:09:52,800 --> 02:09:57,840
company, right? They have offices here

2668
02:09:54,800 --> 02:09:59,760
in Dallas. If you go to a Walmart or

2669
02:09:57,840 --> 02:10:02,400
Sam's and you buy lettuce, you're buying

2670
02:09:59,760 --> 02:10:04,560
Taylor Farms lettuce. A lot of times if

2671
02:10:02,400 --> 02:10:06,320
you go to any other store and you buy a

2672
02:10:04,560 --> 02:10:08,719
lettuce

2673
02:10:06,320 --> 02:10:10,480
uh that's branded as that store's

2674
02:10:08,719 --> 02:10:12,560
lettuce, you're buying Taylor Farms

2675
02:10:10,480 --> 02:10:15,760
lettuce. My understanding of this

2676
02:10:12,560 --> 02:10:17,760
outbreak is that lettuce from Selenus,

2677
02:10:15,760 --> 02:10:21,599
California

2678
02:10:17,760 --> 02:10:24,239
um in large quantities were shipped to

2679
02:10:21,599 --> 02:10:26,079
Taco Bell and Michigan and maybe one

2680
02:10:24,239 --> 02:10:30,719
other state and that led to their

2681
02:10:26,079 --> 02:10:34,239
outbreak. Is there any concern for uh

2682
02:10:30,719 --> 02:10:36,639
citizens, residents of of Dallas County

2683
02:10:34,239 --> 02:10:40,480
and North Texas about eating at a Taco

2684
02:10:36,639 --> 02:10:43,119
Bell or eating uh lettuce or buying

2685
02:10:40,480 --> 02:10:45,679
Taylor Farms lettuce? I've been asked

2686
02:10:43,119 --> 02:10:47,280
that. I don't know the answer. again

2687
02:10:45,679 --> 02:10:51,760
right now when you know they try to do

2688
02:10:47,280 --> 02:10:53,280
the trace backs of those uh sort of the

2689
02:10:51,760 --> 02:10:55,360
specific

2690
02:10:53,280 --> 02:10:58,239
um you know let us that's been in the

2691
02:10:55,360 --> 02:11:01,760
distribution that went to Michigan uh

2692
02:10:58,239 --> 02:11:05,119
those have been pulled now um and so

2693
02:11:01,760 --> 02:11:08,639
there's not any known uh sort of

2694
02:11:05,119 --> 02:11:10,960
pipeline to any of our places locally in

2695
02:11:08,639 --> 02:11:13,360
Texas or in Dallas County and we're not

2696
02:11:10,960 --> 02:11:15,040
seeing the numbers like is being seen in

2697
02:11:13,360 --> 02:11:16,400
Michigan even in Michigan, you're

2698
02:11:15,040 --> 02:11:18,639
starting to hear that the numbers are

2699
02:11:16,400 --> 02:11:20,239
going down because they have pulled the

2700
02:11:18,639 --> 02:11:23,599
identified products and so they're off

2701
02:11:20,239 --> 02:11:27,280
the shelves. Uh so at this point, we

2702
02:11:23,599 --> 02:11:29,679
don't see any specific um indication

2703
02:11:27,280 --> 02:11:32,079
that there's a greater risk, you know,

2704
02:11:29,679 --> 02:11:33,040
with that. Now, um you know, we we

2705
02:11:32,079 --> 02:11:34,480
recommend and some of the

2706
02:11:33,040 --> 02:11:37,280
recommendations that we say, you know,

2707
02:11:34,480 --> 02:11:39,199
it's still uh follow and and listen for

2708
02:11:37,280 --> 02:11:41,520
any of the food recalls that are

2709
02:11:39,199 --> 02:11:43,840
identified uh and follow those

2710
02:11:41,520 --> 02:11:46,960
recommendations. also just proper food

2711
02:11:43,840 --> 02:11:50,320
practices. Um, and you know, they're

2712
02:11:46,960 --> 02:11:52,320
washing um like lettuce, get a head of

2713
02:11:50,320 --> 02:11:54,079
lettuce rather than the shredded kind.

2714
02:11:52,320 --> 02:11:55,679
Take off the first outer layers and try

2715
02:11:54,079 --> 02:11:58,560
to wash it. But that doesn't, you know,

2716
02:11:55,679 --> 02:12:00,480
we say it's it doesn't kill the cyclops.

2717
02:11:58,560 --> 02:12:02,960
It doesn't, you know, totally get rid of

2718
02:12:00,480 --> 02:12:04,880
it. Uh, but, you know, thus far in

2719
02:12:02,960 --> 02:12:06,639
Texas, in Dallas County, there's no

2720
02:12:04,880 --> 02:12:08,400
indication that we're part of that

2721
02:12:06,639 --> 02:12:10,560
distribution.

2722
02:12:08,400 --> 02:12:13,280
» Thank you.

2723
02:12:10,560 --> 02:12:15,199
» So, um,

2724
02:12:13,280 --> 02:12:17,840
And I just wanted to finish with, you

2725
02:12:15,199 --> 02:12:20,000
know, last time we met it was before

2726
02:12:17,840 --> 02:12:24,480
FIFA World Cup. We were doing a lot of

2727
02:12:20,000 --> 02:12:26,000
planning for uh all of uh whatever might

2728
02:12:24,480 --> 02:12:28,079
happen during that with all the global

2729
02:12:26,000 --> 02:12:30,560
visitors. We had it all in place. We

2730
02:12:28,079 --> 02:12:33,920
were monitoring fortunately. Uh things

2731
02:12:30,560 --> 02:12:36,159
went great and no, you know, major

2732
02:12:33,920 --> 02:12:37,599
outbreaks, anything else that uh was

2733
02:12:36,159 --> 02:12:39,920
surprising. So that's what we want to

2734
02:12:37,599 --> 02:12:44,320
have happen. We want to be overprepared

2735
02:12:39,920 --> 02:12:45,360
and have uh nothing that actually alarms

2736
02:12:44,320 --> 02:12:46,000
us. So

2737
02:12:45,360 --> 02:12:47,360
» Yeah, great

2738
02:12:46,000 --> 02:12:49,040
» Great again, great teams, great

2739
02:12:47,360 --> 02:12:50,079
partnerships, everyone that was working

2740
02:12:49,040 --> 02:12:51,760
on this.

2741
02:12:50,079 --> 02:12:52,159
» It's those partnerships again.

2742
02:12:51,760 --> 02:12:52,880
» Yeah,

2743
02:12:52,159 --> 02:12:56,040
» Thank you.

2744
02:12:52,880 --> 02:12:56,040
» Thank you.

2745
02:12:56,400 --> 02:13:04,880
» Okay. Um anything else you got, Judge?

2746
02:13:00,639 --> 02:13:08,079
» Um nothing else? Um

2747
02:13:04,880 --> 02:13:11,520
» Oh, you've got the next few And and the

2748
02:13:08,079 --> 02:13:14,000
FIFA FIFA thing was a good uh

2749
02:13:11,520 --> 02:13:17,440
» It was a great

2750
02:13:14,000 --> 02:13:19,199
» Segue. Yeah. Segue. Yeah. Especially

2751
02:13:17,440 --> 02:13:20,079
» Because of some of the things that

2752
02:13:19,199 --> 02:13:23,840
happened.

2753
02:13:20,079 --> 02:13:26,480
» Yeah. Well, you want some of the usual

2754
02:13:23,840 --> 02:13:27,840
stuff that happened.

2755
02:13:26,480 --> 02:13:30,159
» I think this is the judge.

2756
02:13:27,840 --> 02:13:34,320
» No, it's judges.

2757
02:13:30,159 --> 02:13:36,960
» Monkey mugs at FIFA.

2758
02:13:34,320 --> 02:13:39,199
» Nothing changes.

2759
02:13:36,960 --> 02:13:41,840
FIFA was supposed to be a glowing

2760
02:13:39,199 --> 02:13:44,239
example of the international cultural

2761
02:13:41,840 --> 02:13:48,320
mixing in peace,

2762
02:13:44,239 --> 02:13:51,440
love, and competition.

2763
02:13:48,320 --> 02:13:55,360
But racism raised its ugly head once

2764
02:13:51,440 --> 02:13:58,320
again. Monkeys, sounds, and slurs were

2765
02:13:55,360 --> 02:14:01,520
on full display.

2766
02:13:58,320 --> 02:14:05,840
Yahoo News reported as much under the

2767
02:14:01,520 --> 02:14:09,920
headline, FIFA opens investigation

2768
02:14:05,840 --> 02:14:15,119
into behavior of Argentina

2769
02:14:09,920 --> 02:14:18,320
fans at World Cup. Here's the snippet.

2770
02:14:15,119 --> 02:14:20,239
Popular African-American streamer

2771
02:14:18,320 --> 02:14:22,480
Show Speed

2772
02:14:20,239 --> 02:14:26,239
has attended a handful of World Cup

2773
02:14:22,480 --> 02:14:27,840
matches over the past few weeks.

2774
02:14:26,239 --> 02:14:30,719
Unfortunately,

2775
02:14:27,840 --> 02:14:32,400
he's at the center of FIFA's latest

2776
02:14:30,719 --> 02:14:35,840
investigation.

2777
02:14:32,400 --> 02:14:38,960
It's been reported that Show Speed

2778
02:14:35,840 --> 02:14:43,920
dealt with racist behavior from

2779
02:14:38,960 --> 02:14:46,320
Argentina fans during his Tuesday match

2780
02:14:43,920 --> 02:14:49,599
against Egypt.

2781
02:14:46,320 --> 02:14:55,360
There was one clip from his live stream

2782
02:14:49,599 --> 02:15:00,880
that shows an Argentina fan in the crowd

2783
02:14:55,360 --> 02:15:02,880
making a monkey like gesture.

2784
02:15:00,880 --> 02:15:05,040
This is reportedly the seventh time that

2785
02:15:02,880 --> 02:15:09,280
ISB has

2786
02:15:05,040 --> 02:15:12,480
dealt with despicable behavior at the

2787
02:15:09,280 --> 02:15:16,719
World Cup. During last week's thriller

2788
02:15:12,480 --> 02:15:22,880
between Argentina and Cape Verdie, a

2789
02:15:16,719 --> 02:15:25,280
different fan told him, "Go cry at the

2790
02:15:22,880 --> 02:15:27,760
zoo."

2791
02:15:25,280 --> 02:15:31,400
It was probably no happenstance that

2792
02:15:27,760 --> 02:15:31,400
American president

2793
02:15:31,599 --> 02:15:38,239
backed Argentina

2794
02:15:34,560 --> 02:15:40,079
in his bid for the championship.

2795
02:15:38,239 --> 02:15:44,560
You'll catch that on the way home.

2796
02:15:40,079 --> 02:15:50,480
Argentina has a history of denying the

2797
02:15:44,560 --> 02:15:52,400
ex existence of blackness in any form.

2798
02:15:50,480 --> 02:15:55,360
Argentina's

2799
02:15:52,400 --> 02:16:01,119
whitening process

2800
02:15:55,360 --> 02:16:03,119
has been studied in depth by US

2801
02:16:01,119 --> 02:16:08,079
academic

2802
02:16:03,119 --> 02:16:11,280
Eric Edwards in her book hiding

2803
02:16:08,079 --> 02:16:13,920
in plain sight.

2804
02:16:11,280 --> 02:16:18,000
It was published last year by the

2805
02:16:13,920 --> 02:16:21,760
University of Alabama Press.

2806
02:16:18,000 --> 02:16:25,360
and I quote, "The whitening project

2807
02:16:21,760 --> 02:16:29,360
was a successful endeavor

2808
02:16:25,360 --> 02:16:33,280
in terms of the eraser

2809
02:16:29,360 --> 02:16:35,920
of blackness," said Edwards. The idea

2810
02:16:33,280 --> 02:16:38,639
that somebody could be the descendant of

2811
02:16:35,920 --> 02:16:41,760
a slave,

2812
02:16:38,639 --> 02:16:44,160
just not there.

2813
02:16:41,760 --> 02:16:46,160
But at least FIFA launched an

2814
02:16:44,160 --> 02:16:50,960
investigation

2815
02:16:46,160 --> 02:16:54,000
of the blatant racist acts committed at

2816
02:16:50,960 --> 02:16:55,760
the games.

2817
02:16:54,000 --> 02:16:59,599
Parkland

2818
02:16:55,760 --> 02:17:03,160
just called their monkey mug game.

2819
02:16:59,599 --> 02:17:03,160
Teachable moment.

2820
02:17:03,760 --> 02:17:07,719
The band plays on

2821
02:17:10,559 --> 02:17:17,679
judicial performance at Frank Crowley.

2822
02:17:13,679 --> 02:17:20,319
First of all, start with congratulations

2823
02:17:17,679 --> 02:17:23,439
to Miss Randolph

2824
02:17:20,319 --> 02:17:25,599
and the criminal justice team, to Miss

2825
02:17:23,439 --> 02:17:28,559
Petri

2826
02:17:25,599 --> 02:17:32,160
and her team,

2827
02:17:28,559 --> 02:17:35,760
to Miss Lindberg and Miss and and and

2828
02:17:32,160 --> 02:17:37,840
Judge Kim Novels and their team. They

2829
02:17:35,760 --> 02:17:40,080
worked also

2830
02:17:37,840 --> 02:17:43,519
two weekends ago

2831
02:17:40,080 --> 02:17:45,599
and they made sure that Dallas County

2832
02:17:43,519 --> 02:17:49,160
achieved

2833
02:17:45,599 --> 02:17:49,160
it's 90%

2834
02:17:49,200 --> 02:17:57,760
as a result of that 90%

2835
02:17:54,160 --> 02:18:00,719
we always talk about what's at stake.

2836
02:17:57,760 --> 02:18:03,760
The public never seems to understand

2837
02:18:00,719 --> 02:18:06,080
what's at stake when we talk about

2838
02:18:03,760 --> 02:18:11,840
meeting these goals.

2839
02:18:06,080 --> 02:18:16,920
Um, I did get the memo. 33

2840
02:18:11,840 --> 02:18:16,920
million dollar was extended

2841
02:18:23,040 --> 02:18:29,920
56 projects.

2842
02:18:26,479 --> 02:18:31,760
Town of Addison, Cedar Hill, Dallas

2843
02:18:29,920 --> 02:18:34,160
County, I think had about 11 million.

2844
02:18:31,760 --> 02:18:36,719
Dallas County Hospital District, City of

2845
02:18:34,160 --> 02:18:38,880
Dallas, City of Dotto, City of Grand

2846
02:18:36,719 --> 02:18:42,880
Prairie, City of Hutchkins, City of

2847
02:18:38,880 --> 02:18:46,960
Irving, Lancaster ISD, North Richland

2848
02:18:42,880 --> 02:18:49,120
Hills, City of Richardson.

2849
02:18:46,960 --> 02:18:52,800
These were nonprofits

2850
02:18:49,120 --> 02:18:57,920
that would have been impacted had we not

2851
02:18:52,800 --> 02:18:59,760
met that 90% goal. And so I just want to

2852
02:18:57,920 --> 02:19:02,880
say thank you to that team that worked

2853
02:18:59,760 --> 02:19:05,760
over the weekend, made sure that they

2854
02:19:02,880 --> 02:19:09,120
also that we that we did achieve it.

2855
02:19:05,760 --> 02:19:12,319
August 1st was the deadline and you out

2856
02:19:09,120 --> 02:19:16,240
did yourself by a week. However, there's

2857
02:19:12,319 --> 02:19:18,639
a process in place that uh we're not

2858
02:19:16,240 --> 02:19:21,280
going to wait till the last minute. They

2859
02:19:18,639 --> 02:19:25,840
have to continue to do that. That is too

2860
02:19:21,280 --> 02:19:29,439
much cardia cardiac.

2861
02:19:25,840 --> 02:19:30,960
Too much. But anyway, $33 million.

2862
02:19:29,439 --> 02:19:34,639
That's what you say the taxpayers of

2863
02:19:30,960 --> 02:19:37,040
Dallas County, 56 projects. And so, I

2864
02:19:34,639 --> 02:19:39,439
just want to say thank you.

2865
02:19:37,040 --> 02:19:41,599
In addition to that, this week as of

2866
02:19:39,439 --> 02:19:46,479
August 33,

2867
02:19:41,599 --> 02:19:49,840
August 3rd, we had 425 cases. Based on

2868
02:19:46,479 --> 02:19:53,760
our manual process, AIS report of the

2869
02:19:49,840 --> 02:19:58,800
425 cases, 118

2870
02:19:53,760 --> 02:20:00,240
were DPD cases and 307 were other LEA

2871
02:19:58,800 --> 02:20:04,080
cases.

2872
02:20:00,240 --> 02:20:07,200
These cases, these 425 cases are people

2873
02:20:04,080 --> 02:20:11,080
who have been in our system who are over

2874
02:20:07,200 --> 02:20:11,080
30 days.

2875
02:20:13,439 --> 02:20:18,479
These are people with warrant holds and

2876
02:20:16,479 --> 02:20:22,000
respective cases have not been received

2877
02:20:18,479 --> 02:20:23,840
by the district attorney's office.

2878
02:20:22,000 --> 02:20:25,359
of the 425

2879
02:20:23,840 --> 02:20:29,600
cases

2880
02:20:25,359 --> 02:20:32,000
um we have not yet received.

2881
02:20:29,600 --> 02:20:34,160
I have a breakdown of where they who

2882
02:20:32,000 --> 02:20:39,280
where do they belong to and I won't go

2883
02:20:34,160 --> 02:20:44,160
through all the twos and ones and um

2884
02:20:39,280 --> 02:20:49,680
you know juvenile sheriff DPD has 118

2885
02:20:44,160 --> 02:20:54,319
Dart has 33. Irvin has 87.

2886
02:20:49,680 --> 02:20:59,760
Mosquite has 87. The rest of them are

2887
02:20:54,319 --> 02:21:01,520
onesie Tuesdays and uh but all equal

2888
02:20:59,760 --> 02:21:05,359
$425

2889
02:21:01,520 --> 02:21:09,920
that are over 30 days in the Dallas

2890
02:21:05,359 --> 02:21:13,178
County Jail. Do the calculations at $98

2891
02:21:09,920 --> 02:21:14,479
a day, you know, and while I'm

2892
02:21:13,178 --> 02:21:17,120
[clears throat] going to be, you know,

2893
02:21:14,479 --> 02:21:18,800
continue to be that champion for asking

2894
02:21:17,120 --> 02:21:21,439
about

2895
02:21:18,800 --> 02:21:24,720
that facility is 50 years old. this this

2896
02:21:21,439 --> 02:21:26,880
this V rate for the first time is going

2897
02:21:24,720 --> 02:21:28,800
to give facilities what they need. And I

2898
02:21:26,880 --> 02:21:31,359
appreciate facilities because we call

2899
02:21:28,800 --> 02:21:35,520
them on the weekends, we call them on

2900
02:21:31,359 --> 02:21:37,680
Saturdays and Sundays and they respond.

2901
02:21:35,520 --> 02:21:40,479
And what happens when we get too many

2902
02:21:37,680 --> 02:21:42,800
people in there

2903
02:21:40,479 --> 02:21:45,840
and the Texas Commission on Jail

2904
02:21:42,800 --> 02:21:49,203
Standards says we cannot have people out

2905
02:21:45,840 --> 02:21:49,600
of housing for more than 24 hours.

2906
02:21:49,203 --> 02:21:52,720
» [gasps]

2907
02:21:49,600 --> 02:21:55,520
» They get a little rambunctious

2908
02:21:52,720 --> 02:21:57,600
hours. They were there the day before

2909
02:21:55,520 --> 02:21:58,880
when I was there the night and then I

2910
02:21:57,600 --> 02:22:01,840
came back the next day and they were

2911
02:21:58,880 --> 02:22:04,319
still there. Came a little rambunctious.

2912
02:22:01,840 --> 02:22:08,720
We lost a few windows and things in in

2913
02:22:04,319 --> 02:22:12,880
the back but facilities got on that and

2914
02:22:08,720 --> 02:22:16,240
uh was able to do it but

2915
02:22:12,880 --> 02:22:19,359
DPD uh handled it. something happened in

2916
02:22:16,240 --> 02:22:22,640
the system, but as I told Sergeant

2917
02:22:19,359 --> 02:22:24,960
Martin, you know, they can't wait. We

2918
02:22:22,640 --> 02:22:27,200
always got to know what's going on. And

2919
02:22:24,960 --> 02:22:29,760
that's one of the reasons we're in and

2920
02:22:27,200 --> 02:22:32,720
out of that facility two or three times

2921
02:22:29,760 --> 02:22:36,319
a day and into the night. Third watch is

2922
02:22:32,720 --> 02:22:38,960
getting better. Parkland, thank you.

2923
02:22:36,319 --> 02:22:41,600
They are getting better. Still a

2924
02:22:38,960 --> 02:22:44,080
challenge, but it's getting better.

2925
02:22:41,600 --> 02:22:48,800
I appreciate the fact that by the way I

2926
02:22:44,080 --> 02:22:54,080
was in the meetings yesterday. Teleat uh

2927
02:22:48,800 --> 02:22:55,280
Miss Foster Allen uh Dr. Watkins I

2928
02:22:54,080 --> 02:22:57,280
didn't know they had two classes

2929
02:22:55,280 --> 02:22:58,880
yesterday. I didn't make the 7 o'clock

2930
02:22:57,280 --> 02:23:02,080
class but I didn't know about it but I

2931
02:22:58,880 --> 02:23:05,680
knew I made the nine o'clock CA class

2932
02:23:02,080 --> 02:23:09,120
and uh we we we moved forward.

2933
02:23:05,680 --> 02:23:11,280
So it was a good meeting uh of

2934
02:23:09,120 --> 02:23:15,200
individuals.

2935
02:23:11,280 --> 02:23:20,000
A5 is not the optimal place to handle it

2936
02:23:15,200 --> 02:23:23,120
because we were having computer issues

2937
02:23:20,000 --> 02:23:26,399
uh there. So I don't know what what the

2938
02:23:23,120 --> 02:23:28,479
next class arrangements are. We need to

2939
02:23:26,399 --> 02:23:30,240
move it we need to move move it around.

2940
02:23:28,479 --> 02:23:31,680
» I'll get with facilities and look into

2941
02:23:30,240 --> 02:23:35,359
it a different location.

2942
02:23:31,680 --> 02:23:37,520
» Yeah. A A5 was they were losing computer

2943
02:23:35,359 --> 02:23:40,240
connections. They were and we were we

2944
02:23:37,520 --> 02:23:43,120
were having to re for two hours. We were

2945
02:23:40,240 --> 02:23:45,840
just it it it made no it made no sense.

2946
02:23:43,120 --> 02:23:46,960
We we can't we can't do it there. But I

2947
02:23:45,840 --> 02:23:49,680
do want to thank the sheriff's

2948
02:23:46,960 --> 02:23:52,080
department. Um

2949
02:23:49,680 --> 02:23:55,280
and and all those who were were a part

2950
02:23:52,080 --> 02:23:58,960
of it. Uh I still want somebody to help

2951
02:23:55,280 --> 02:24:00,399
me. Uh what's what's that person uh that

2952
02:23:58,960 --> 02:24:02,240
they say they're looking for? I'm

2953
02:24:00,399 --> 02:24:04,560
looking for Chief Robinson.

2954
02:24:02,240 --> 02:24:07,439
I still haven't seen Chief Robbins. I

2955
02:24:04,560 --> 02:24:09,359
need to see Chief Robbins.

2956
02:24:07,439 --> 02:24:11,840
Okay. I haven't seen nothing. I need to

2957
02:24:09,359 --> 02:24:15,359
see Chief Robbins. He He has returned,

2958
02:24:11,840 --> 02:24:17,680
right? Okay. Just checking

2959
02:24:15,359 --> 02:24:19,439
the following two district courts.

2960
02:24:17,680 --> 02:24:23,040
They're on their way out. Thank God. And

2961
02:24:19,439 --> 02:24:26,720
Greyhound. Carter Thompson, the 194th

2962
02:24:23,040 --> 02:24:29,680

Thompson is a CDC 5 um

2965
02:24:35,574 --> 02:24:39,600
[sighs]

2966
02:24:36,319 --> 02:24:41,439
district and county courts they had

2967
02:24:39,600 --> 02:24:45,920
resets

2968
02:24:41,439 --> 02:24:50,560
those courts that have five plus resets

2969
02:24:45,920 --> 02:24:53,439
uh for jail population as of 83 2026

2970
02:24:50,560 --> 02:24:54,720
we had 246

2971
02:24:53,439 --> 02:24:58,640
individuals

2972
02:24:54,720 --> 02:25:02,800
in felony courts. 2,000 that have an

2973
02:24:58,640 --> 02:25:05,800
average length of stay of 29

2974
02:25:02,800 --> 02:25:05,800
days.

2975
02:25:11,280 --> 02:25:18,720
Average length of stay 29 days.

2976
02:25:15,920 --> 02:25:21,200
That's 2,000. That is that is that's a

2977
02:25:18,720 --> 02:25:23,280
little bit better than not quite a third

2978
02:25:21,200 --> 02:25:24,880
of our population.

2979
02:25:23,280 --> 02:25:29,880
Like I said, we reached the 90%

2980
02:25:24,880 --> 02:25:29,880
compliance. We did that. Um,

2981
02:25:30,479 --> 02:25:36,640
what else? Last night, midnight,

2982
02:25:34,479 --> 02:25:40,479
we had 94%

2983
02:25:36,640 --> 02:25:43,680
7,000 individuals, which was 46 more

2984
02:25:40,479 --> 02:25:45,280
than we had this time last year.

2985
02:25:43,680 --> 02:25:48,560
um

2986
02:25:45,280 --> 02:25:51,760
females and individual behavior flags.

2987
02:25:48,560 --> 02:25:54,176
They uh outpaced release in terms of

2988
02:25:51,760 --> 02:25:54,720
their increase.

2989
02:25:54,176 --> 02:25:56,960
[sighs]

2990
02:25:54,720 --> 02:26:01,600
Outpatient composite restoration, we had

2991
02:25:56,960 --> 02:26:05,680
about 36 felonies, seven misdemeanors.

2992
02:26:01,600 --> 02:26:08,800
Uh, wait list for beds. 266 on the

2993
02:26:05,680 --> 02:26:13,520

2994
02:26:08,800 --> 02:26:15,359

for nonmax

2996
02:26:15,359 --> 02:26:18,359
hospital.

2997
02:26:19,520 --> 02:26:25,439
The weight list

2998
02:26:22,720 --> 02:26:30,640
in 2024

2999
02:26:25,439 --> 02:26:33,920
was 262. Right now it's 238.

3000
02:26:30,640 --> 02:26:36,319
Males 287,

3001
02:26:33,920 --> 02:26:40,040
females

3002
02:26:36,319 --> 02:26:40,040
right around 489

3003
02:26:46,160 --> 02:26:55,280
getting all we just um and and I know in

3004
02:26:51,200 --> 02:26:57,200
budget miss um Randolph

3005
02:26:55,280 --> 02:27:00,000
um hopefully we're going to be able to

3006
02:26:57,200 --> 02:27:02,479
be able to target some of this. I I did

3007
02:27:00,000 --> 02:27:05,760
include chief artist on some of these

3008
02:27:02,479 --> 02:27:09,280
concerns. I'm still waiting to to hear

3009
02:27:05,760 --> 02:27:11,760
from Swifts.

3010
02:27:09,280 --> 02:27:14,240
It would it was my understanding that we

3011
02:27:11,760 --> 02:27:15,840
are now doing more of the cases than

3012
02:27:14,240 --> 02:27:18,560
they

3013
02:27:15,840 --> 02:27:21,359
than um trying to think of their

3014
02:27:18,560 --> 02:27:23,840
outsource first, but that we're now

3015
02:27:21,359 --> 02:27:26,319
doing more of the cases.

3016
02:27:23,840 --> 02:27:29,120
Armstrong, that's it. Thank you. got so

3017
02:27:26,319 --> 02:27:31,120
much on my so we need to we need to do a

3018
02:27:29,120 --> 02:27:33,120
followup.

3019
02:27:31,120 --> 02:27:35,120
» Dr. Dwire has been in touch with DPD

3020
02:27:33,120 --> 02:27:37,439
about this and well we've been going

3021
02:27:35,120 --> 02:27:39,359
back and forth with memos to them. They

3022
02:27:37,439 --> 02:27:41,280
were concerned that they're going to run

3023
02:27:39,359 --> 02:27:43,520
into a problem again like we did before,

3024
02:27:41,280 --> 02:27:45,040
but Dr. Dwire has assured them we're

3025
02:27:43,520 --> 02:27:47,040
fully staffed now. We've got all the

3026
02:27:45,040 --> 02:27:49,840
staff we need. We can handle the volume

3027
02:27:47,040 --> 02:27:50,880
that we were handling before. So

3028
02:27:49,840 --> 02:27:52,880
hopefully they'll they'll

3029
02:27:50,880 --> 02:27:55,120
» That was supposed to been temporary

3030
02:27:52,880 --> 02:27:56,640
anyway until we got staffed up. We've

3031
02:27:55,120 --> 02:27:57,120
been staffed up for a while now,

3032
02:27:56,640 --> 02:27:59,920
» Right?

3033
02:27:57,120 --> 02:28:01,359
» And we don't have anybody in Swifts

3034
02:27:59,920 --> 02:28:01,920
that's over 30 days.

3035
02:28:01,359 --> 02:28:02,240
» That's right.

3036
02:28:01,920 --> 02:28:02,880
» Okay.

3037
02:28:02,240 --> 02:28:05,280
» That's right.

3038
02:28:02,880 --> 02:28:06,800
» And Arm Armstrong is

3039
02:28:05,280 --> 02:28:08,399
» And I've shared that with Chief Artist

3040
02:28:06,800 --> 02:28:10,319
and he shared that with his team, Major

3041
02:28:08,399 --> 02:28:12,080
Howell, I believe it was.

3042
02:28:10,319 --> 02:28:13,359
» So, we're just waiting for the numbers

3043
02:28:12,080 --> 02:28:15,600
to pick back up.

3044
02:28:13,359 --> 02:28:17,439
» Yeah. Okay.

3045
02:28:15,600 --> 02:28:21,720
Um,

3046
02:28:17,439 --> 02:28:21,720
with regards to um,

3047
02:28:24,080 --> 02:28:29,760
is there anything else, Mr. Randolph,

3048
02:28:25,760 --> 02:28:31,680
that I missed? I understand that the

3049
02:28:29,760 --> 02:28:33,280
computer system

3050
02:28:31,680 --> 02:28:35,439
uh,

3051
02:28:33,280 --> 02:28:38,880
is up

3052
02:28:35,439 --> 02:28:41,040
and running that they bought us back

3053
02:28:38,880 --> 02:28:43,120
online. I'm talking about in terms of

3054
02:28:41,040 --> 02:28:46,240
honesty.

3055
02:28:43,120 --> 02:28:46,240
Are we back on

3056
02:28:48,000 --> 02:28:54,840
Mr. Reed, somebody I'd had a note here

3057
02:28:51,439 --> 02:28:54,840
for some reason.

3058
02:28:55,040 --> 02:29:01,840
» I'm not sure about Odyssey, but the but

3059
02:28:58,479 --> 02:29:04,240
if you're referring to the NIPA feed.

3060
02:29:01,840 --> 02:29:07,520
Um, we are having communication with

3061
02:29:04,240 --> 02:29:10,319
NIPA now. Dallas County implemented a

3062
02:29:07,520 --> 02:29:12,560
new server and now we're working with

3063
02:29:10,319 --> 02:29:14,319
NIPA in order to make sure that they

3064
02:29:12,560 --> 02:29:16,720
have the information they need in order

3065
02:29:14,319 --> 02:29:19,040
to send the NIPA feed service

3066
02:29:16,720 --> 02:29:21,200
information to the new server and we're

3067
02:29:19,040 --> 02:29:24,200
actually working on that as we speak.

3068
02:29:21,200 --> 02:29:24,200
» Okay.

3069
02:29:24,880 --> 02:29:30,399
» Okay. Thank you.

3070
02:29:27,920 --> 02:29:32,720
Update on elections operations, polling

3071
02:29:30,399 --> 02:29:35,280
equipment, polling. Is there anything

3072
02:29:32,720 --> 02:29:36,800
else? I'm sorry. with regards to jail

3073
02:29:35,280 --> 02:29:42,000
population.

3074
02:29:36,800 --> 02:29:44,479
Okay. Um Mr. Adams, update on elections

3075
02:29:42,000 --> 02:29:45,920
operations, polling equipment, polling

3076
02:29:44,479 --> 02:29:49,600
locations. I know we've got a court

3077
02:29:45,920 --> 02:29:51,359
order on today. I was going to pull it

3078
02:29:49,600 --> 02:29:53,760
because there there was some concern,

3079
02:29:51,359 --> 02:29:55,359
but anyway, you can speak to it and uh

3080
02:29:53,760 --> 02:29:56,960
personnel preparation for the upcoming

3081
02:29:55,359 --> 02:29:58,160
election,

3082
02:29:56,960 --> 02:30:00,319
etc.

3083
02:29:58,160 --> 02:30:02,640
» Yes. So, we've been very busy over the

3084
02:30:00,319 --> 02:30:03,920
last uh month or so since the last

3085
02:30:02,640 --> 02:30:06,479
commissioner's court meeting preparing

3086
02:30:03,920 --> 02:30:08,560
for the November election. Uh wanted to

3087
02:30:06,479 --> 02:30:10,479
mention a handful of things to the

3088
02:30:08,560 --> 02:30:12,160
court. One of them, we've begun

3089
02:30:10,479 --> 02:30:15,600
preventative maintenance. So, we have

3090
02:30:12,160 --> 02:30:17,359
ESNS and our staff is working right now

3091
02:30:15,600 --> 02:30:19,520
on preventative maintenance going

3092
02:30:17,359 --> 02:30:21,120
through testing all of the equipment. I

3093
02:30:19,520 --> 02:30:22,720
had mentioned previously I want to make

3094
02:30:21,120 --> 02:30:24,800
sure that this is the most thorough

3095
02:30:22,720 --> 02:30:27,920
testing of our equipment that we have

3096
02:30:24,800 --> 02:30:30,080
ever done. Uh we have just begun that.

3097
02:30:27,920 --> 02:30:32,240
So, at this point, we're only about 15%

3098
02:30:30,080 --> 02:30:34,640
through. When we're complete, I will

3099
02:30:32,240 --> 02:30:36,800
provide a report to commissioners to let

3100
02:30:34,640 --> 02:30:39,040
you know how that went. But we have

3101
02:30:36,800 --> 02:30:41,520
individuals on site, not just to do the

3102
02:30:39,040 --> 02:30:43,600
testing for mess that are assisting us,

3103
02:30:41,520 --> 02:30:45,840
but individuals on site that will be

3104
02:30:43,600 --> 02:30:49,520
fixing all of the issues that they may

3105
02:30:45,840 --> 02:30:51,760
find on those uh units uh as it comes

3106
02:30:49,520 --> 02:30:53,520
up. So, the anticipation is by the end

3107
02:30:51,760 --> 02:30:55,359
of this month, we will be done with

3108
02:30:53,520 --> 02:30:58,479
preventative maintenance. any issues

3109
02:30:55,359 --> 02:30:59,920
that we see arise can be fixed by ESNS

3110
02:30:58,479 --> 02:31:02,160
and then we're going to be ready for the

3111
02:30:59,920 --> 02:31:05,359
delivery of additional equipment. Uh we

3112
02:31:02,160 --> 02:31:08,000
are purch or renting an additional 1,500

3113
02:31:05,359 --> 02:31:10,960
units for this upcoming election

3114
02:31:08,000 --> 02:31:15,200
» And that will give us how many total? Uh

3115
02:31:10,960 --> 02:31:18,200
» So we have a to right now there's uh

3116
02:31:15,200 --> 02:31:18,200
4,740

3117
02:31:18,800 --> 02:31:22,080
plus 1500. So I'm going to do math real

3118
02:31:21,680 --> 02:31:24,319
quick here.

3119
02:31:22,080 --> 02:31:28,080
» That's okay. I got it. [laughter]

3120
02:31:24,319 --> 02:31:28,800
So that gives us uh uh 6,240.

3121
02:31:28,080 --> 02:31:30,479
» Got it.

3122
02:31:28,800 --> 02:31:32,880
» Will be how many we have. And that will

3123
02:31:30,479 --> 02:31:35,120
be more units than uh we've ever

3124
02:31:32,880 --> 02:31:36,800
deployed in a larger election. But I

3125
02:31:35,120 --> 02:31:39,280
think I'd mentioned previously when the

3126
02:31:36,800 --> 02:31:42,960
equipment was purchased earlier on back

3127
02:31:39,280 --> 02:31:44,880
in 2019, obviously the growth of the

3128
02:31:42,960 --> 02:31:46,560
county and there's been a higher demand.

3129
02:31:44,880 --> 02:31:48,640
So I think it makes sense not just to

3130
02:31:46,560 --> 02:31:50,319
have those additional units in case we

3131
02:31:48,640 --> 02:31:52,399
have you know uh issues with

3132
02:31:50,319 --> 02:31:54,720
malfunctioning machines but we have just

3133
02:31:52,399 --> 02:31:56,560
additional units out in the field that I

3134
02:31:54,720 --> 02:31:59,439
think is going to be important. I also

3135
02:31:56,560 --> 02:32:01,200
wanted to follow up and mention about uh

3136
02:31:59,439 --> 02:32:02,720
batteries. We had talked about that how

3137
02:32:01,200 --> 02:32:05,040
we were approaching the end of life of

3138
02:32:02,720 --> 02:32:10,399
batteries. We've done a complete test on

3139
02:32:05,040 --> 02:32:14,080
all of the equipment. uh of the 4,740

3140
02:32:10,399 --> 02:32:17,040
units, only 248 actually failed that

3141
02:32:14,080 --> 02:32:20,560
battery test. Uh so I feel comfortable

3142
02:32:17,040 --> 02:32:23,520
that either we'll be able to uh find

3143
02:32:20,560 --> 02:32:25,200
some replacements for those or uh we are

3144
02:32:23,520 --> 02:32:26,800
going to be talking about having maybe

3145
02:32:25,200 --> 02:32:28,960
additional batteries just available

3146
02:32:26,800 --> 02:32:30,640
generally at some of the locations. that

3147
02:32:28,960 --> 02:32:32,000
now that we have identified the ones

3148
02:32:30,640 --> 02:32:33,680
that the problems, we can make sure

3149
02:32:32,000 --> 02:32:35,359
those are pulled out of service and we

3150
02:32:33,680 --> 02:32:37,359
don't have issues with those uh during

3151
02:32:35,359 --> 02:32:39,840
the election.

3152
02:32:37,359 --> 02:32:42,160
In addition to preventative maintenance

3153
02:32:39,840 --> 02:32:44,880
testing, we've been working on updating

3154
02:32:42,160 --> 02:32:48,080
our pole worker training and the manual

3155
02:32:44,880 --> 02:32:50,080
for uh pole workers. Uh I'm not doing

3156
02:32:48,080 --> 02:32:52,000
this in a vacuum. I know we have a lot

3157
02:32:50,080 --> 02:32:55,840
of people that have a lot of

3158
02:32:52,000 --> 02:32:58,000
institutional knowledge on how that

3159
02:32:55,840 --> 02:33:01,280
manual and the presentations and our

3160
02:32:58,000 --> 02:33:03,840
classes should be formulated. So we are

3161
02:33:01,280 --> 02:33:05,760
preparing for this Saturday and then on

3162
02:33:03,840 --> 02:33:08,399
the 18th we're going to have some

3163
02:33:05,760 --> 02:33:09,840
demonstration classes. We've invited

3164
02:33:08,399 --> 02:33:12,800
individuals. We've informed the

3165
02:33:09,840 --> 02:33:15,359
political parties. We've informed SEAK

3166
02:33:12,800 --> 02:33:17,120
uh other organizations that may be

3167
02:33:15,359 --> 02:33:20,160
interested in sending individuals to

3168
02:33:17,120 --> 02:33:22,319
come sit through the demonstration of

3169
02:33:20,160 --> 02:33:24,080
the class and then afterwards we're

3170
02:33:22,319 --> 02:33:25,840
going to have a roundt discussion to get

3171
02:33:24,080 --> 02:33:27,439
their feedback. So we'll make final

3172
02:33:25,840 --> 02:33:29,280
determinations of what that class is

3173
02:33:27,439 --> 02:33:31,600
going to look like um at the end of the

3174
02:33:29,280 --> 02:33:33,359
month. But I think engaging individuals

3175
02:33:31,600 --> 02:33:35,520
and getting feedback is going to be very

3176
02:33:33,359 --> 02:33:37,760
important to make sure that we have the

3177
02:33:35,520 --> 02:33:41,760
best possible training program. In

3178
02:33:37,760 --> 02:33:44,160
addition to that uh training program, uh

3179
02:33:41,760 --> 02:33:48,880
we also looked at reducing the amount of

3180
02:33:44,160 --> 02:33:51,920
time the judges um judge judges classes

3181
02:33:48,880 --> 02:33:54,080
can take uh previously

3182
02:33:51,920 --> 02:33:56,399
at least five hours in some cases a

3183
02:33:54,080 --> 02:33:57,840
little bit more. Uh I went through one

3184
02:33:56,399 --> 02:34:00,640
of those classes as soon as I got here.

3185
02:33:57,840 --> 02:34:02,240
It was about five and a half hours.

3186
02:34:00,640 --> 02:34:06,160
I don't believe that a five and a

3187
02:34:02,240 --> 02:34:09,200
halfhour class is the proper way to

3188
02:34:06,160 --> 02:34:10,720
engage our workers. Uh we need to do our

3189
02:34:09,200 --> 02:34:12,640
best in order to streamline that

3190
02:34:10,720 --> 02:34:14,399
process. I think after a certain point

3191
02:34:12,640 --> 02:34:16,960
people are not paying attention. It

3192
02:34:14,399 --> 02:34:19,840
makes very very difficult to keep people

3193
02:34:16,960 --> 02:34:21,680
um at the the highest level of attention

3194
02:34:19,840 --> 02:34:23,200
in a five and a half hour class. So we

3195
02:34:21,680 --> 02:34:25,439
are reducing it to three and a half

3196
02:34:23,200 --> 02:34:27,359
hours. But at the same time we are going

3197
02:34:25,439 --> 02:34:29,200
to have what previously have been called

3198
02:34:27,359 --> 02:34:31,760
labs. We're going to kind of change the

3199
02:34:29,200 --> 02:34:33,840
name to name I'm familiar with which is

3200
02:34:31,760 --> 02:34:35,680
uh practice makes perfect where

3201
02:34:33,840 --> 02:34:36,880
individuals may come in if they've

3202
02:34:35,680 --> 02:34:38,399
decided they've went to the three and a

3203
02:34:36,880 --> 02:34:40,319
half hour class and they're a new judge

3204
02:34:38,399 --> 02:34:41,280
and they've decided you know I want a

3205
02:34:40,319 --> 02:34:43,520
little bit more training on the

3206
02:34:41,280 --> 02:34:46,000
tabulator I want a little more training

3207
02:34:43,520 --> 02:34:47,840
on provisional ballots we're going to

3208
02:34:46,000 --> 02:34:49,120
offer that they'll be able to come in

3209
02:34:47,840 --> 02:34:51,120
and they'll be able to do that

3210
02:34:49,120 --> 02:34:52,800
additional training uh if they so

3211
02:34:51,120 --> 02:34:54,640
choose. So even though we're reducing

3212
02:34:52,800 --> 02:34:57,520
the amount of time, there is going to be

3213
02:34:54,640 --> 02:34:59,600
options for them to come in and get

3214
02:34:57,520 --> 02:35:02,800
additional training if they so choose

3215
02:34:59,600 --> 02:35:05,840
» And there still be paid.

3216
02:35:02,800 --> 02:35:06,880
» Uh yes.

3217
02:35:05,840 --> 02:35:09,600
» Thank you.

3218
02:35:06,880 --> 02:35:12,319
» Then on

3219
02:35:09,600 --> 02:35:14,000
so training updates.

3220
02:35:12,319 --> 02:35:16,160
Another item that we are we've been

3221
02:35:14,000 --> 02:35:18,560
working on and we'll be implementing is

3222
02:35:16,160 --> 02:35:21,120
additional proofing for our ballots. uh

3223
02:35:18,560 --> 02:35:24,800
our central count team has put together

3224
02:35:21,120 --> 02:35:26,560
a 16point proofing procedure that we are

3225
02:35:24,800 --> 02:35:30,080
going to be implementing. It is not

3226
02:35:26,560 --> 02:35:31,760
going to be conducted only by our own

3227
02:35:30,080 --> 02:35:34,319
staff. We are going to be bringing in

3228
02:35:31,760 --> 02:35:36,240
other individuals uh beyond our staff to

3229
02:35:34,319 --> 02:35:38,560
help with proofing. We've reached out to

3230
02:35:36,240 --> 02:35:40,640
the political parties to provide

3231
02:35:38,560 --> 02:35:43,200
individuals that may be able to assist

3232
02:35:40,640 --> 02:35:46,080
us with proofing. Uh we've also reached

3233
02:35:43,200 --> 02:35:49,840
out to SEAK to provide that assistance.

3234
02:35:46,080 --> 02:35:51,680
uh and also uh Miss Foster Allen has uh

3235
02:35:49,840 --> 02:35:53,760
volunteered to offer some individuals to

3236
02:35:51,680 --> 02:35:56,160
help as well. Uh I've always felt that

3237
02:35:53,760 --> 02:35:58,479
the more proofing the better. So we are

3238
02:35:56,160 --> 02:36:01,439
going to have a very large number of

3239
02:35:58,479 --> 02:36:03,200
teams and this 16-step process that our

3240
02:36:01,439 --> 02:36:05,520
central count team has done an amazing

3241
02:36:03,200 --> 02:36:08,240
job putting together over the last month

3242
02:36:05,520 --> 02:36:10,160
and a half breaks out those pieces so

3243
02:36:08,240 --> 02:36:12,640
that as we're proofing the ballot, we

3244
02:36:10,160 --> 02:36:15,120
are looking at each individual piece. We

3245
02:36:12,640 --> 02:36:16,640
are not necessarily just looking at the

3246
02:36:15,120 --> 02:36:18,080
entire thing all at once. We want to

3247
02:36:16,640 --> 02:36:19,760
break it down individually.

3248
02:36:18,080 --> 02:36:23,359
» Well, I know you got a couple of things

3249
02:36:19,760 --> 02:36:25,680
with regards to I call it condens uh

3250
02:36:23,359 --> 02:36:29,840
condensing that ballot. But before I get

3251
02:36:25,680 --> 02:36:33,399
there, I I want to know um when you talk

3252
02:36:29,840 --> 02:36:33,399
about this proofing,

3253
02:36:34,640 --> 02:36:37,640
» How

3254
02:36:37,840 --> 02:36:42,479
are you just talking about going over

3255
02:36:39,359 --> 02:36:45,359
whatever it is that's before you?

3256
02:36:42,479 --> 02:36:48,319
Because what bothers bothers me as in

3257
02:36:45,359 --> 02:36:52,640
one one of my cities they should have

3258
02:36:48,319 --> 02:36:56,640
been voting for I think one person wound

3259
02:36:52,640 --> 02:36:58,800
up voting for two people did some coun

3260
02:36:56,640 --> 02:37:00,800
and I mean you know you know the story

3261
02:36:58,800 --> 02:37:04,160
so I'm just trying to figure out what

3262
02:37:00,800 --> 02:37:06,960
does proofing entail.

3263
02:37:04,160 --> 02:37:08,720
» It's a very good question that proofing

3264
02:37:06,960 --> 02:37:11,439
we've looked at this from a

3265
02:37:08,720 --> 02:37:12,800
comprehensive view. So this is going to

3266
02:37:11,439 --> 02:37:15,439
start all the way from the beginning

3267
02:37:12,800 --> 02:37:17,520
when we get information from entities.

3268
02:37:15,439 --> 02:37:18,880
That information is going to be proof to

3269
02:37:17,520 --> 02:37:21,840
make sure that the information that

3270
02:37:18,880 --> 02:37:24,080
we're initially using is correct.

3271
02:37:21,840 --> 02:37:25,840
In addition to that, we are going to be

3272
02:37:24,080 --> 02:37:27,828
we've already had conversations about

3273
02:37:25,840 --> 02:37:29,359
the contracts that we have with various

3274
02:37:27,828 --> 02:37:31,120
[snorts] entities. One of the things

3275
02:37:29,359 --> 02:37:33,840
that's been helpful that I've seen just

3276
02:37:31,120 --> 02:37:36,560
in my uh time here has been some of the

3277
02:37:33,840 --> 02:37:38,479
city secretaries are very much involved

3278
02:37:36,560 --> 02:37:39,840
with the proofing of the ballot and

3279
02:37:38,479 --> 02:37:42,960
making sure it's correct. We have some

3280
02:37:39,840 --> 02:37:44,800
city secretaries that come in to central

3281
02:37:42,960 --> 02:37:46,240
count, sit down with our central count

3282
02:37:44,800 --> 02:37:47,520
team and say, "Okay, show me the ballot.

3283
02:37:46,240 --> 02:37:49,359
I want to see it. I'm not doing the

3284
02:37:47,520 --> 02:37:52,080
email thing. I want to see this. I want

3285
02:37:49,359 --> 02:37:54,240
to look at it." Not all of them are like

3286
02:37:52,080 --> 02:37:57,520
that. And what we're we're going to try

3287
02:37:54,240 --> 02:38:00,399
to do is have those entities also send

3288
02:37:57,520 --> 02:38:03,280
individuals in to assist with proofing

3289
02:38:00,399 --> 02:38:05,840
because we need that level of

3290
02:38:03,280 --> 02:38:07,920
understanding in those communities. I

3291
02:38:05,840 --> 02:38:10,000
might not necessarily know something or

3292
02:38:07,920 --> 02:38:11,840
see something, but people from those

3293
02:38:10,000 --> 02:38:13,920
areas will. So, we're going to be

3294
02:38:11,840 --> 02:38:16,240
opening up to those entities the ability

3295
02:38:13,920 --> 02:38:18,160
to have people come in and be part of

3296
02:38:16,240 --> 02:38:20,720
the proofing specifically for their

3297
02:38:18,160 --> 02:38:22,240
issues. So, that that is done at the

3298
02:38:20,720 --> 02:38:23,920
beginning of that proofing process. The

3299
02:38:22,240 --> 02:38:25,520
beginning of the proofing process

3300
02:38:23,920 --> 02:38:26,779
involves that information from those

3301
02:38:25,520 --> 02:38:27,840
entities. It involves information

3302
02:38:26,779 --> 02:38:30,640
[clears throat] from the Secretary of

3303
02:38:27,840 --> 02:38:32,319
State. It involves information that we

3304
02:38:30,640 --> 02:38:34,560
had from the previous election and

3305
02:38:32,319 --> 02:38:37,040
district information. And then things

3306
02:38:34,560 --> 02:38:39,200
begin to play out through the proofing

3307
02:38:37,040 --> 02:38:40,479
process all the way through uh testing

3308
02:38:39,200 --> 02:38:40,960
the audio for all the different

3309
02:38:40,479 --> 02:38:45,520
languages.

3310
02:38:40,960 --> 02:38:49,680
» Let me just suggest um that you generate

3311
02:38:45,520 --> 02:38:51,920
to them that expectation because we get

3312
02:38:49,680 --> 02:38:55,120
we get the

3313
02:38:51,920 --> 02:38:56,720
push back that says hey you know this is

3314
02:38:55,120 --> 02:39:00,080
what should have occurred. Well, it's

3315
02:38:56,720 --> 02:39:02,479
already occurred now. And you guys you

3316
02:39:00,080 --> 02:39:07,040
guys basically signed off or not you,

3317
02:39:02,479 --> 02:39:10,319
but they did. And so I

3318
02:39:07,040 --> 02:39:13,920
I'd at least like to have a trail say we

3319
02:39:10,319 --> 02:39:15,439
invited you. You sent Jonathan Bazison,

3320
02:39:13,920 --> 02:39:16,000
you know, by blah blah blah. He signed

3321
02:39:15,439 --> 02:39:16,399
off.

3322
02:39:16,000 --> 02:39:17,359
» Okay.

3323
02:39:16,399 --> 02:39:19,200
» And that's what we're looking to

3324
02:39:17,359 --> 02:39:22,399
actually put in their contracts. Okay.

3325
02:39:19,200 --> 02:39:25,760
So that that is made very clear. And I

3326
02:39:22,399 --> 02:39:29,680
will also point out that's another issue

3327
02:39:25,760 --> 02:39:31,680
that arises where I want to make sure I

3328
02:39:29,680 --> 02:39:33,359
have the ballot right.

3329
02:39:31,680 --> 02:39:34,560
» We also want to have the sign off, but I

3330
02:39:33,359 --> 02:39:36,000
want to make sure the ballots right

3331
02:39:34,560 --> 02:39:38,479
because even if somebody is able to

3332
02:39:36,000 --> 02:39:40,720
find, oh, you know what, the elections

3333
02:39:38,479 --> 02:39:42,240
department did everything right, but

3334
02:39:40,720 --> 02:39:43,600
there was an issue and we have a paper

3335
02:39:42,240 --> 02:39:46,479
trail and we can see it was a city

3336
02:39:43,600 --> 02:39:49,520
secretary or whatever it happens to be.

3337
02:39:46,479 --> 02:39:50,560
My problem is, okay, that's a cover your

3338
02:39:49,520 --> 02:39:51,680
own.

3339
02:39:50,560 --> 02:39:54,560
» Okay. see why

3340
02:39:51,680 --> 02:39:57,680
» My problem is I still have to fix the I

3341
02:39:54,560 --> 02:40:00,399
have this problem now the ballot's not

3342
02:39:57,680 --> 02:40:02,720
correct what do I need to do and when we

3343
02:40:00,399 --> 02:40:04,479
have countywide voting it's not just if

3344
02:40:02,720 --> 02:40:07,280
I have a problem in a particular

3345
02:40:04,479 --> 02:40:09,359
community it's not I can just go to

3346
02:40:07,280 --> 02:40:11,040
those units it's going to affect every

3347
02:40:09,359 --> 02:40:11,439
unit across the entire county

3348
02:40:11,040 --> 02:40:13,600
» Exactly

3349
02:40:11,439 --> 02:40:15,520
» So that's the reason why we need to have

3350
02:40:13,600 --> 02:40:17,120
these additional proofing procedures and

3351
02:40:15,520 --> 02:40:18,800
that's why I'm glad that our central

3352
02:40:17,120 --> 02:40:20,720
county team is working very hard on this

3353
02:40:18,800 --> 02:40:23,760
» And so that the record will be clear

3354
02:40:20,720 --> 02:40:25,920
what you're basically speaking about is

3355
02:40:23,760 --> 02:40:30,880
is that because like you said it's

3356
02:40:25,920 --> 02:40:34,479
mobile voting and uh somebody from that

3357
02:40:30,880 --> 02:40:38,399
particular impacted uh

3358
02:40:34,479 --> 02:40:40,000
city may be voting in Barnard Dallas not

3359
02:40:38,399 --> 02:40:40,319
likely but could be

3360
02:40:40,000 --> 02:40:43,200
» Correct

3361
02:40:40,319 --> 02:40:44,880
» And so it affects everything and I agree

3362
02:40:43,200 --> 02:40:49,240
things

3363
02:40:44,880 --> 02:40:49,240
okay Um,

3364
02:40:50,399 --> 02:40:54,560
I did get the concern uh from

3365
02:40:53,040 --> 02:40:59,200
administration.

3366
02:40:54,560 --> 02:41:02,080
Um, did we ever make a final decision as

3367
02:40:59,200 --> 02:41:04,479
to

3368
02:41:02,080 --> 02:41:07,520
I'm looking at periods of time. I'm

3369
02:41:04,479 --> 02:41:11,880
looking to deploy a

3370
02:41:07,520 --> 02:41:11,880
a unit, a mobile,

3371
02:41:12,160 --> 02:41:18,160
a storage unit.

3372
02:41:14,960 --> 02:41:20,560
And the office saying that we don't need

3373
02:41:18,160 --> 02:41:23,040
your my staff dealt with your staff and

3374
02:41:20,560 --> 02:41:26,800
they said, "Hey, we don't need this year

3375
02:41:23,040 --> 02:41:28,800
around." So, I don't know what time

3376
02:41:26,800 --> 02:41:31,200
deployment. I don't know how many

3377
02:41:28,800 --> 02:41:34,240
elections you have.

3378
02:41:31,200 --> 02:41:38,240
if if you if you've done that kind of

3379
02:41:34,240 --> 02:41:39,600
modular that we can decide how many

3380
02:41:38,240 --> 02:41:41,280
we're going to deploy and we're going to

3381
02:41:39,600 --> 02:41:42,720
have to go from the south of Dallas

3382
02:41:41,280 --> 02:41:45,120
government center because I don't think

3383
02:41:42,720 --> 02:41:46,880
there's going to be any place to to go

3384
02:41:45,120 --> 02:41:50,080
at the at the at the Poke Street

3385
02:41:46,880 --> 02:41:52,800
location just based on the confinement.

3386
02:41:50,080 --> 02:41:54,560
» So, uh we're going to have to buy a

3387
02:41:52,800 --> 02:41:56,399
modular to talk about putting them in

3388
02:41:54,560 --> 02:42:00,160
that need to know how many are we

3389
02:41:56,399 --> 02:42:02,399
talking about? How many machines are we

3390
02:42:00,160 --> 02:42:05,359
talking about story? And it's my

3391
02:42:02,399 --> 02:42:07,520
understanding that you and I and do they

3392
02:42:05,359 --> 02:42:11,120
have to I think my staff sent me. Do

3393
02:42:07,520 --> 02:42:13,600
they have to be uh climate because they

3394
02:42:11,120 --> 02:42:15,600
have to be do they do they have to be a

3395
02:42:13,600 --> 02:42:17,359
climate controlled?

3396
02:42:15,600 --> 02:42:19,040
» Yes. So they would there would need to

3397
02:42:17,359 --> 02:42:21,200
be climate control. We would want to

3398
02:42:19,040 --> 02:42:24,240
have proper security which would include

3399
02:42:21,200 --> 02:42:27,200
cameras as well as the access badges so

3400
02:42:24,240 --> 02:42:29,920
that we know has entered and left those

3401
02:42:27,200 --> 02:42:32,640
facilities. uh in terms of you know

3402
02:42:29,920 --> 02:42:34,479
exactly where that would be. I know uh

3403
02:42:32,640 --> 02:42:37,439
we have been in communication with your

3404
02:42:34,479 --> 02:42:40,160
office of where that would be but for

3405
02:42:37,439 --> 02:42:41,680
the the November election which is my uh

3406
02:42:40,160 --> 02:42:43,359
immediate priority

3407
02:42:41,680 --> 02:42:45,680
» You know finding someplace that has

3408
02:42:43,359 --> 02:42:48,080
proper security

3409
02:42:45,680 --> 02:42:50,160
» With the cameras and has climate control

3410
02:42:48,080 --> 02:42:52,000
is something that would be a requirement

3411
02:42:50,160 --> 02:42:53,200
for us. I would be looking at in terms

3412
02:42:52,000 --> 02:42:55,200
of the number of units I would be

3413
02:42:53,200 --> 02:42:59,120
looking somewhere in the range of 40 to

3414
02:42:55,200 --> 02:43:01,120
50 units to place in um that secure

3415
02:42:59,120 --> 02:43:04,920
location if that was possible.

3416
02:43:01,120 --> 02:43:04,920
» Okay. 40 to 50.

3417
02:43:05,439 --> 02:43:08,160
» You gave me

3418
02:43:07,439 --> 02:43:09,200
back.

3419
02:43:08,160 --> 02:43:14,640
» Okay.

3420
02:43:09,200 --> 02:43:16,960
» Um Okay. 40 40 50. Um

3421
02:43:14,640 --> 02:43:20,960
and

3422
02:43:16,960 --> 02:43:23,040
I just need y'all to generate the uh

3423
02:43:20,960 --> 02:43:25,439
Um,

3424
02:43:23,040 --> 02:43:26,960
» What that looks like. Just go down. Just

3425
02:43:25,439 --> 02:43:29,200
what what does that look like? I thought

3426
02:43:26,960 --> 02:43:32,479
I saw a year for you.

3427
02:43:29,200 --> 02:43:34,160
» Oh, no. I can't tell. I can't see. But

3428
02:43:32,479 --> 02:43:35,920
anyway, um, yeah,

3429
02:43:34,160 --> 02:43:36,399
» But we we need to we need to lock that

3430
02:43:35,920 --> 02:43:36,880
down.

3431
02:43:36,399 --> 02:43:39,680
» Yes.

3432
02:43:36,880 --> 02:43:41,840
» And uh, they tell me it's it's going to

3433
02:43:39,680 --> 02:43:43,359
be kind of seasonal, but we need we need

3434
02:43:41,840 --> 02:43:45,200
to get ahead of that.

3435
02:43:43,359 --> 02:43:46,720
» Um,

3436
02:43:45,200 --> 02:43:49,120
what else? There was something else.

3437
02:43:46,720 --> 02:43:50,880
Okay. Is there anything else that

3438
02:43:49,120 --> 02:43:52,479
» I did want to follow up? I I know you

3439
02:43:50,880 --> 02:43:53,840
had contacted me about some concerns

3440
02:43:52,479 --> 02:43:54,160
with the post office.

3441
02:43:53,840 --> 02:43:58,080
» Yes.

3442
02:43:54,160 --> 02:44:00,080
» Uh so we have we have taken the steps to

3443
02:43:58,080 --> 02:44:03,840
communicate with the elections mail

3444
02:44:00,080 --> 02:44:05,439
coordinator for the USPS. Uh I can think

3445
02:44:03,840 --> 02:44:08,319
previously we'd been communicating with

3446
02:44:05,439 --> 02:44:09,760
some of the local postmasters. The uh

3447
02:44:08,319 --> 02:44:11,680
post office a number of years ago

3448
02:44:09,760 --> 02:44:13,760
created the position of election mail

3449
02:44:11,680 --> 02:44:16,000
coordinator. We are now in direct

3450
02:44:13,760 --> 02:44:18,000
communication with that individual. We

3451
02:44:16,000 --> 02:44:19,840
will we have already set up regular

3452
02:44:18,000 --> 02:44:22,479
meetings with the election mail

3453
02:44:19,840 --> 02:44:24,399
coordinator and their team so that

3454
02:44:22,479 --> 02:44:25,680
leading into this election. We're going

3455
02:44:24,399 --> 02:44:27,040
to start right now about every other

3456
02:44:25,680 --> 02:44:29,279
week or so we're going to be meeting

3457
02:44:27,040 --> 02:44:31,600
with them. As we get into the election

3458
02:44:29,279 --> 02:44:33,920
period, we are going to have a weekly

3459
02:44:31,600 --> 02:44:36,080
meeting that includes our staff, the

3460
02:44:33,920 --> 02:44:38,319
election mail coordinator, other

3461
02:44:36,080 --> 02:44:41,840
individuals in the post office, as well

3462
02:44:38,319 --> 02:44:44,080
as uh our ballot board judges who

3463
02:44:41,840 --> 02:44:45,840
oftentimes see some of these things so

3464
02:44:44,080 --> 02:44:48,080
that we're all on the same page. Any

3465
02:44:45,840 --> 02:44:50,640
issues that we see that arise are

3466
02:44:48,080 --> 02:44:52,720
immediately going to be mentioned at

3467
02:44:50,640 --> 02:44:56,479
those meetings with the election mail

3468
02:44:52,720 --> 02:44:58,479
coordinator for uh North Texas. And I I

3469
02:44:56,479 --> 02:45:00,319
believe that's going to help us

3470
02:44:58,479 --> 02:45:01,600
preemptively take care of some problems.

3471
02:45:00,319 --> 02:45:03,920
We've already mentioned to them some of

3472
02:45:01,600 --> 02:45:05,279
the issues that we've seen. Uh so I'm

3473
02:45:03,920 --> 02:45:06,880
hopeful that these regular meetings

3474
02:45:05,279 --> 02:45:09,200
leading up to the election that will

3475
02:45:06,880 --> 02:45:12,319
eventually become weekly uh will be able

3476
02:45:09,200 --> 02:45:13,520
to address any in real time any of those

3477
02:45:12,319 --> 02:45:14,399
issues that we see leading into the

3478
02:45:13,520 --> 02:45:18,399
election.

3479
02:45:14,399 --> 02:45:19,920
» Okay. Good. I know my I know my guys are

3480
02:45:18,399 --> 02:45:22,000
out there now working and they're

3481
02:45:19,920 --> 02:45:25,200
working on the weekends. So hopefully

3482
02:45:22,000 --> 02:45:27,840
you're getting everything you need.

3483
02:45:25,200 --> 02:45:28,560
with regards to the facility.

3484
02:45:27,840 --> 02:45:31,520
» Yes. Yes.

3485
02:45:28,560 --> 02:45:33,200
» Okay. And have we finished all the

3486
02:45:31,520 --> 02:45:35,840
installation?

3487
02:45:33,200 --> 02:45:36,160
Uh in ter No, still working.

3488
02:45:35,840 --> 02:45:37,680
» Okay.

3489
02:45:36,160 --> 02:45:39,520
» Still working.

3490
02:45:37,680 --> 02:45:42,319
» Okay. We are we going to hit those

3491
02:45:39,520 --> 02:45:43,680
targets, Mr. Bazan? We going to hit hit

3492
02:45:42,319 --> 02:45:44,960
those targets?

3493
02:45:43,680 --> 02:45:47,040
» I know that they've required a

3494
02:45:44,960 --> 02:45:48,560
supplemental PO that I think was either

3495
02:45:47,040 --> 02:45:50,319
just issued and they're working to

3496
02:45:48,560 --> 02:45:52,240
complete the the work. Commissioner, I

3497
02:45:50,319 --> 02:45:53,760
think you've been updated. I'll get a

3498
02:45:52,240 --> 02:45:55,439
current update and send that to you.

3499
02:45:53,760 --> 02:45:57,279
Okay.

3500
02:45:55,439 --> 02:45:59,680
Okay.

3501
02:45:57,279 --> 02:46:01,600
Okay. Thank you. Any anything else, Mr.

3502
02:45:59,680 --> 02:46:03,040
Adam? Mr. Curt,

3503
02:46:01,600 --> 02:46:03,359
» That's all I have for right now.

3504
02:46:03,040 --> 02:46:06,560
» Okay.

3505
02:46:03,359 --> 02:46:08,800
» I did ask judge to add number 36 to the

3506
02:46:06,560 --> 02:46:10,640
separate polls, separate vote. I believe

3507
02:46:08,800 --> 02:46:12,560
Mr. Adams has some name additional names

3508
02:46:10,640 --> 02:46:13,920
he needs to add to the list. So, we'll

3509
02:46:12,560 --> 02:46:15,520
do that court orders.

3510
02:46:13,920 --> 02:46:18,080
» Okay. I thought also the one we got to

3511
02:46:15,520 --> 02:46:19,520
read the stuff that uh 36 that dealt

3512
02:46:18,080 --> 02:46:19,840
with the hours.

3513
02:46:19,520 --> 02:46:21,920
» Yeah.

3514
02:46:19,840 --> 02:46:24,240
» For early vote. I I'll I'll pull that

3515
02:46:21,920 --> 02:46:26,000
and read that what he wants in there.

3516
02:46:24,240 --> 02:46:27,359
» But you just going to pull it and you

3517
02:46:26,000 --> 02:46:29,760
going to add it add it in.

3518
02:46:27,359 --> 02:46:30,640
» Add those hours in and put it out for

3519
02:46:29,760 --> 02:46:32,880
vote.

3520
02:46:30,640 --> 02:46:34,479
» Okay. Well, and and I agree with from

3521
02:46:32,880 --> 02:46:37,920
what my staff tells me, I agree with

3522
02:46:34,479 --> 02:46:40,920
that. My my concern is

3523
02:46:37,920 --> 02:46:40,920
um

3524
02:46:41,359 --> 02:46:45,520
and in that kind of election and you

3525
02:46:43,600 --> 02:46:48,080
talking about some extended hours unlike

3526
02:46:45,520 --> 02:46:50,960
some other folks who feel some

3527
02:46:48,080 --> 02:46:54,399
compression, you know, we

3528
02:46:50,960 --> 02:46:56,160
I I really believe that

3529
02:46:54,399 --> 02:46:58,560
that we're we're going to see a real

3530
02:46:56,160 --> 02:47:03,520
turnout and I just I don't want to burn

3531
02:46:58,560 --> 02:47:06,319
my judges out. U we we we uh

3532
02:47:03,520 --> 02:47:07,920
I don't think we understand sometimes,

3533
02:47:06,319 --> 02:47:10,160
you know, some of those judges sitting

3534
02:47:07,920 --> 02:47:12,240
there the age the average age of the

3535
02:47:10,160 --> 02:47:13,760
judges, you know, they're around my age

3536
02:47:12,240 --> 02:47:17,040
and they they don't want to sit there

3537
02:47:13,760 --> 02:47:19,840
all day. So, I'm I'm trying to make sure

3538
02:47:17,040 --> 02:47:23,760
that those extended hours They're

3539
02:47:19,840 --> 02:47:24,960
getting paid. They're fine. It's Some of

3540
02:47:23,760 --> 02:47:28,471
them

3541
02:47:24,960 --> 02:47:29,126
» They ain't that old

3542
02:47:28,471 --> 02:47:30,160
[laughter]

3543
02:47:29,126 --> 02:47:31,840
[snorts]

3544
02:47:30,160 --> 02:47:35,040
» As long as they don't as long as long as

3545
02:47:31,840 --> 02:47:35,600
they don't look like that at all. Okay.

3546
02:47:35,040 --> 02:47:38,240
Anyway,

3547
02:47:35,600 --> 02:47:40,640
» So I I I will say that uh you know,

3548
02:47:38,240 --> 02:47:41,920
while while I support the extension uh

3549
02:47:40,640 --> 02:47:43,600
because I do believe it is going to be

3550
02:47:41,920 --> 02:47:45,680
an incredibly high turnout election and

3551
02:47:43,600 --> 02:47:48,160
we need to be prepared. Uh we are going

3552
02:47:45,680 --> 02:47:50,240
to be looking at whatever it is that we

3553
02:47:48,160 --> 02:47:52,319
can do to help support those workers.

3554
02:47:50,240 --> 02:47:53,520
» Um you if that means additional people

3555
02:47:52,319 --> 02:47:54,960
out there, we're going to be looking at

3556
02:47:53,520 --> 02:47:56,720
some different options because I want

3557
02:47:54,960 --> 02:47:58,960
them to know that we support them and we

3558
02:47:56,720 --> 02:47:59,520
want to be there to help them make this

3559
02:47:58,960 --> 02:48:01,439
happen.

3560
02:47:59,520 --> 02:48:04,240
» Okay. And last thing I'm going to say,

3561
02:48:01,439 --> 02:48:06,560
Mr. point is that [clears throat] I saw

3562
02:48:04,240 --> 02:48:11,439
him he he he just got here. We've done

3563
02:48:06,560 --> 02:48:13,680
it before draw from the pool of uh

3564
02:48:11,439 --> 02:48:18,240
county employees.

3565
02:48:13,680 --> 02:48:20,640
We need to really plan that well because

3566
02:48:18,240 --> 02:48:23,200
he winds up at the at the end and

3567
02:48:20,640 --> 02:48:26,560
everybody is h hair on fire and they're

3568
02:48:23,200 --> 02:48:28,479
running and that it impacts operations.

3569
02:48:26,560 --> 02:48:30,560
We just we just got to plan it better.

3570
02:48:28,479 --> 02:48:32,560
» Yeah. And I I agree 100%. I know I

3571
02:48:30,560 --> 02:48:34,479
usually get the email the week of and so

3572
02:48:32,560 --> 02:48:36,000
I'm going to work with Mr. Adams and and

3573
02:48:34,479 --> 02:48:38,720
Mr. Herd and make sure we get that out

3574
02:48:36,000 --> 02:48:40,399
early. We'll get a number of folks

3575
02:48:38,720 --> 02:48:41,760
signed up and particularly new folks

3576
02:48:40,399 --> 02:48:42,960
who've never done it before so they can

3577
02:48:41,760 --> 02:48:44,240
get through the training. So we'll do

3578
02:48:42,960 --> 02:48:46,399
that much earlier this year.

3579
02:48:44,240 --> 02:48:50,640
» Yeah, they just can't wait till the last

3580
02:48:46,399 --> 02:48:52,319
minute. I saw that I'm like what?

3581
02:48:50,640 --> 02:48:53,600
Luckily, we got them. But still,

3582
02:48:52,319 --> 02:48:55,520
luckily, we were able to get enough

3583
02:48:53,600 --> 02:48:56,720
people. But we were

3584
02:48:55,520 --> 02:48:58,560
» But [clears throat] I agreed we needed

3585
02:48:56,720 --> 02:49:01,040
» Operationally though, we need to we need

3586
02:48:58,560 --> 02:49:03,520
we need to we need to plan for it. Okay.

3587
02:49:01,040 --> 02:49:04,640
Need to see a plan. Okay. Anything else,

3588
02:49:03,520 --> 02:49:05,920
Mr. Adam? Okay.

3589
02:49:04,640 --> 02:49:06,960

» Okay. [laughter]

3655

But you know what? um what Star had uh

3656
02:52:20,960 --> 02:52:28,319
suggested to Nationwide is to uh promote

3657
02:52:25,279 --> 02:52:31,359
the scholarship even earlier because as

3658
02:52:28,319 --> 02:52:34,000
our graduates graduate in May, it's kind

3659
02:52:31,359 --> 02:52:36,000
of late to kind of get them motivated to

3660
02:52:34,000 --> 02:52:38,319
do another essay. So now they're

3661
02:52:36,000 --> 02:52:41,520
promoting it around March and we are

3662
02:52:38,319 --> 02:52:44,000
trying to get to all the departments. Um

3663
02:52:41,520 --> 02:52:45,840
it's on the employee bulletin so we can

3664
02:52:44,000 --> 02:52:47,840
have more and more participation. the

3665
02:52:45,840 --> 02:52:49,840
more participation hopefully the more

3666
02:52:47,840 --> 02:52:53,439
winners that we have. So, we want to

3667
02:52:49,840 --> 02:52:55,680

02:53:40,160 --> 02:53:45,600

3684
02:53:43,840 --> 02:53:46,399
» Thank you. All right. Good morning

3685
02:53:45,600 --> 02:53:47,040
everybody.

3686
02:53:46,399 --> 02:53:49,840
» Morning.

3687
02:53:47,040 --> 02:53:52,800
» Great to see you and and um we're really

3688
02:53:49,840 --> 02:53:54,720
excited. uh Niko has done a great job in

3689
02:53:52,800 --> 02:53:58,000
providing this scholarship and this

3690
02:53:54,720 --> 02:54:02,080
essay is specifically for uh financial

3691
02:53:58,000 --> 02:54:03,840
we rephrase the the question every year

3692
02:54:02,080 --> 02:54:07,359
but it is it does take some

3693
02:54:03,840 --> 02:54:09,279
thoughtprovoking and and um some uh

3694
02:54:07,359 --> 02:54:11,040
research and and things like this. This

3695
02:54:09,279 --> 02:54:14,880
is not something that is just written

3696
02:54:11,040 --> 02:54:18,080
down on their own. So um it's great that

3697
02:54:14,880 --> 02:54:21,439
that the county has had uh three winners

3698
02:54:18,080 --> 02:54:23,200
here. Um I think it shows that uh we are

3699
02:54:21,439 --> 02:54:26,720
promoting it and we are going to try to

3700
02:54:23,200 --> 02:54:30,800
get it out a little bit earlier. So um

3701
02:54:26,720 --> 02:54:32,800
people can work on it but uh Nationwide

3702
02:54:30,800 --> 02:54:35,520
I haven't worked with a company before

3703
02:54:32,800 --> 02:54:37,520
that does the philanthropy that they do

3704
02:54:35,520 --> 02:54:40,080
and and I'm proud to work for

3705
02:54:37,520 --> 02:54:43,200
Nationwide. I can say that with without

3706
02:54:40,080 --> 02:54:44,880
any trepidation at all. So um love

3707
02:54:43,200 --> 02:54:48,000

3708
02:54:44,880 --> 02:54:51,359

kicked off both events. And so um just a

3712
02:54:57,680 --> 02:55:03,120
a great turnout and again the showing

3713
02:55:00,479 --> 02:55:05,760
that the county is

3714
02:55:03,120 --> 02:55:09,120

3715
02:55:05,760 --> 02:55:12,640
their employees are retiring comfortably

3716
02:55:09,120 --> 02:55:15,439
and um in a place that they can

3717
02:55:12,640 --> 02:55:18,160

» Okay. No.

3829
03:00:37,040 --> 03:00:40,960
» Yeah. The the 10 is I have to recuse

3830
03:00:39,439 --> 03:00:43,040
myself, I think.

3831
03:00:40,960 --> 03:00:44,640
» Oh, the 10. Okay. Is that recuse?

3832
03:00:43,040 --> 03:00:45,279
» Yeah, that's me just pulling it for a

3833
03:00:44,640 --> 03:00:45,920
separate vote.

3834
03:00:45,279 --> 03:00:48,960
» For a record,

3835
03:00:45,920 --> 03:00:52,000

03:00:48,960 --> 03:00:53,439

03:00:52,000 --> 03:00:56,479
» Well, okay.

3838
03:00:53,439 --> 03:00:58,720

interest by Commissioner Summer. There

03:00:58,720 --> 03:01:03,840
we go.

3841
03:01:00,399 --> 03:01:06,960
» Yeah. Yeah. uh on one I had talked this

3842
03:01:03,840 --> 03:01:11,120
morning at le but I had a myriad of

3843
03:01:06,960 --> 03:01:15,680
concerns with regards to that uh that

3844
03:01:11,120 --> 03:01:18,160
restoration preservation co-iles service

3845
03:01:15,680 --> 03:01:20,720
uh this this was technology not to

3846
03:01:18,160 --> 03:01:24,160
exceed $3 million

3847
03:01:20,720 --> 03:01:27,439
and u Mr. Uh

3848
03:01:24,160 --> 03:01:29,600
brash, you need to put in the record uh

3849
03:01:27,439 --> 03:01:31,359
all of my I can go through all of my

3850
03:01:29,600 --> 03:01:35,680
concerns, but you know what they are.

3851
03:01:31,359 --> 03:01:37,920
Now, so uh with regards to the profile,

3852
03:01:35,680 --> 03:01:42,000
the documented independent price

3853
03:01:37,920 --> 03:01:45,040
validation and the material scope uh

3854
03:01:42,000 --> 03:01:46,560
that we we're using a u I guess what do

3855
03:01:45,040 --> 03:01:48,880
y'all call a state contract or

3856
03:01:46,560 --> 03:01:53,560
something? Yes, sir. And I I looked up

3857
03:01:48,880 --> 03:01:53,560
and saw uh

3858
03:01:53,600 --> 03:02:00,479
seven $7 million worth of things that

3859
03:01:57,439 --> 03:02:03,439
are on this dag gum contract in this

3860
03:02:00,479 --> 03:02:07,680
Dallas County listing versus Texas MAS

3861
03:02:03,439 --> 03:02:10,880
pricing. And uh you are need to put in

3862
03:02:07,680 --> 03:02:13,600
the record that the utilization

3863
03:02:10,880 --> 03:02:19,920
uh for this $3 million

3864
03:02:13,600 --> 03:02:22,960
is somehow uh just a using of about 90%

3865
03:02:19,920 --> 03:02:24,560
of this contract and uh so I just need

3866
03:02:22,960 --> 03:02:26,319
you to I need you to put that in the

3867
03:02:24,560 --> 03:02:28,399
record because I my staff has

3868
03:02:26,319 --> 03:02:31,600
» Yes, sir. The contract for consideration

3869
03:02:28,399 --> 03:02:33,680
is using the Texas controllers Texas MOS

3870
03:02:31,600 --> 03:02:35,840
pricing which is leveraging the the

3871
03:02:33,680 --> 03:02:38,319
pricing across the state of Texas in

3872
03:02:35,840 --> 03:02:40,399
addition to uh the contract pricing

3873
03:02:38,319 --> 03:02:42,160
that's available through text mass uh

3874
03:02:40,399 --> 03:02:44,880
co-ile gave us additional discounts to

3875
03:02:42,160 --> 03:02:46,640
Dallas County. So it in an overlay of

3876
03:02:44,880 --> 03:02:48,640
discounts that are even further deeper

3877
03:02:46,640 --> 03:02:50,720
than what state of Texas contract is.

3878
03:02:48,640 --> 03:02:53,279
So, if you were looking at us purchasing

3879
03:02:50,720 --> 03:02:55,120
the five items that we primarily use on

3880
03:02:53,279 --> 03:02:57,359
this contract, it would be $7 million.

3881
03:02:55,120 --> 03:02:58,960
It was list price. We we get it. We were

3882
03:02:57,359 --> 03:03:01,120
going to get those for 2.9 million. So,

3883
03:02:58,960 --> 03:03:03,120
it's a significant savings over over the

3884
03:03:01,120 --> 03:03:04,399
contract pricing for the state of Texas.

3885
03:03:03,120 --> 03:03:06,160
Uh the items that you mentioned,

3886
03:03:04,399 --> 03:03:07,520
Commissioner Price, we we've listed all

3887
03:03:06,160 --> 03:03:09,439
the items that are available from the

3888
03:03:07,520 --> 03:03:11,120
state of Texas, which are thousands of

3889
03:03:09,439 --> 03:03:13,359
items that are used by the state of

3890
03:03:11,120 --> 03:03:15,439
Texas. We're using primarily five items

3891
03:03:13,359 --> 03:03:17,439
that represent 90% of what we use for

3892
03:03:15,439 --> 03:03:21,840
Dallas County. So, the listing that is

3893
03:03:17,439 --> 03:03:23,359
on page um I believe it's page um 73

3894
03:03:21,840 --> 03:03:26,479
shows exactly what Dallas County is

3895
03:03:23,359 --> 03:03:28,640
using, which makes up the $ 2.99 million

3896
03:03:26,479 --> 03:03:30,160
and it's five um line items that have

3897
03:03:28,640 --> 03:03:32,319
significant discounts over the state of

3898
03:03:30,160 --> 03:03:34,720
Texas contract. Uh we went through the

3899
03:03:32,319 --> 03:03:36,880
competitive process in 2021, selected

3900
03:03:34,720 --> 03:03:39,040
COILE, and over the last five years,

3901
03:03:36,880 --> 03:03:42,000
we've used CFile to do these services.

3902
03:03:39,040 --> 03:03:43,600
They have some proprietary um processes

3903
03:03:42,000 --> 03:03:45,920
that are used to do their their work

3904
03:03:43,600 --> 03:03:47,439
with Dallas County. So we we leveraged

3905
03:03:45,920 --> 03:03:48,800
the discounts from state of Texas and

3906
03:03:47,439 --> 03:03:50,319
felt this in the best interest of Dallas

3907
03:03:48,800 --> 03:03:51,439
County and I believe Mr. Warren's on if

3908
03:03:50,319 --> 03:03:54,319
you have any questions specifically

3909
03:03:51,439 --> 03:03:56,160
about the the usage of the contract

3910
03:03:54,319 --> 03:03:58,880
» But everything is covered at the end of

3911
03:03:56,160 --> 03:04:01,040
the day Mr. Fro most important part is

3912
03:03:58,880 --> 03:04:04,000
with all these discounts and the $3

3913
03:04:01,040 --> 03:04:07,840
million everything that is has

3914
03:04:04,000 --> 03:04:08,560
historical needs of preservation will be

3915
03:04:07,840 --> 03:04:10,240
taken care of.

3916
03:04:08,560 --> 03:04:11,840
» Yes ma'am as you know this is a very

3917
03:04:10,240 --> 03:04:13,600
significant task to restore these

3918
03:04:11,840 --> 03:04:15,200
documents. I know and and honorable

3919
03:04:13,600 --> 03:04:16,319
warren has done a great job in

3920
03:04:15,200 --> 03:04:17,920
preserving all the records.

3921
03:04:16,319 --> 03:04:19,200
» Yes, ma'am. So I believe that was the

3922
03:04:17,920 --> 03:04:21,040
questions commissioner and another

3923
03:04:19,200 --> 03:04:22,560
question you had or the that you brought

3924
03:04:21,040 --> 03:04:24,880
to my attention is that the original

3925
03:04:22,560 --> 03:04:26,319
contract date was expired. The contract

3926
03:04:24,880 --> 03:04:28,080
that's listed on the controllers date

3927
03:04:26,319 --> 03:04:29,920
which is included in our contract goes

3928
03:04:28,080 --> 03:04:31,520
through the term of our contract today.

3929
03:04:29,920 --> 03:04:33,279
So it's going to match exactly the terms

3930
03:04:31,520 --> 03:04:35,600
that are on there today. So it did

3931
03:04:33,279 --> 03:04:36,880
originally was expiring two years prior

3932
03:04:35,600 --> 03:04:37,600
but was renewed prior to this

3933
03:04:36,880 --> 03:04:40,240
discussion.

3934
03:04:37,600 --> 03:04:44,080
» Okay. those. Okay. Those are questions

3935
03:04:40,240 --> 03:04:46,160
that I had with regards to that. Um

3936
03:04:44,080 --> 03:04:51,520
the uh

3937
03:04:46,160 --> 03:04:52,800
Okay. And with regards to uh 10,

3938
03:04:51,520 --> 03:04:54,560
» Let me leave the room if you're going to

3939
03:04:52,800 --> 03:04:56,160
talk about that. Okay. Okay.

3940
03:04:54,560 --> 03:04:58,720
» All right. Good.

3941
03:04:56,160 --> 03:05:01,120
» Let the record reflect that Commissioner

3942
03:04:58,720 --> 03:05:01,680
Summer is walking out of the horseshoe.

3943
03:05:01,120 --> 03:05:03,279
» Okay.

3944
03:05:01,680 --> 03:05:05,040
» Okay. Commissioner,

3945
03:05:03,279 --> 03:05:06,960
» So I I move

3946
03:05:05,040 --> 03:05:11,279
» Yeah. I mean, no, it's it's just

3947
03:05:06,960 --> 03:05:13,680
» It's just 10 was my my my concern here.

3948
03:05:11,279 --> 03:05:15,920
Just like that profile contract, you

3949
03:05:13,680 --> 03:05:19,439
know, I just find it interesting. We

3950
03:05:15,920 --> 03:05:20,960
just purchased $5.3

3951
03:05:19,439 --> 03:05:25,439
million

3952
03:05:20,960 --> 03:05:27,439
worth of service from this company AWS

3953
03:05:25,439 --> 03:05:29,600
and then all of a sudden come back and

3954
03:05:27,439 --> 03:05:31,200
it looks like uh we're going to spend

3955
03:05:29,600 --> 03:05:33,359
$300,000.

3956
03:05:31,200 --> 03:05:35,680
But then the same thing, the same kind

3957
03:05:33,359 --> 03:05:38,160
of regiment that Frost just went

3958
03:05:35,680 --> 03:05:41,680
through, you know, is is supposed to

3959
03:05:38,160 --> 03:05:44,880
cost us a a million nine and they gonna

3960
03:05:41,680 --> 03:05:46,560
discount it to, you know, a million6 and

3961
03:05:44,880 --> 03:05:48,240
it's going to cost us 300,000. Why the

3962
03:05:46,560 --> 03:05:51,840
hell didn't they do that? Why didn't we

3963
03:05:48,240 --> 03:05:53,760
do all of this in the prior contract? If

3964
03:05:51,840 --> 03:05:55,680
it's 300,000

3965
03:05:53,760 --> 03:05:57,439
and and the difference Dallas, why

3966
03:05:55,680 --> 03:05:58,640
didn't just put the 300,000 to five

3967
03:05:57,439 --> 03:06:02,240
million?

3968
03:05:58,640 --> 03:06:03,920
» Yes sir. So with AWS in order to get the

3969
03:06:02,240 --> 03:06:05,359
support that's in front of you today we

3970
03:06:03,920 --> 03:06:07,359
have to first purchase the cloud

3971
03:06:05,359 --> 03:06:10,399
service. Uh that is the commitment that

3972
03:06:07,359 --> 03:06:13,120
we had to make to AWS before they would

3973
03:06:10,399 --> 03:06:15,120
discuss the support the discount support

3974
03:06:13,120 --> 03:06:16,560
that is in front of you today. That's

3975
03:06:15,120 --> 03:06:18,399
the primary reason why they were

3976
03:06:16,560 --> 03:06:21,120
separated

3977
03:06:18,399 --> 03:06:24,160
» Also because this has a different item

3978
03:06:21,120 --> 03:06:26,080
with capacity if I understood that

3979
03:06:24,160 --> 03:06:27,279
correctly from the different because it

3980
03:06:26,080 --> 03:06:32,319
says

3981
03:06:27,279 --> 03:06:33,600
» Um with scale capacity ink. So is that's

3982
03:06:32,319 --> 03:06:35,840
additional

3983
03:06:33,600 --> 03:06:37,520
» Not additional capacity from a storage

3984
03:06:35,840 --> 03:06:40,000
perspective but additional capacity from

3985
03:06:37,520 --> 03:06:42,080
a deploying and using the product. So

3986
03:06:40,000 --> 03:06:43,920
what we are buying

3987
03:06:42,080 --> 03:06:47,920
if if the item is approved, what we are

3988
03:06:43,920 --> 03:06:49,680
buying today is a help to move.

3989
03:06:47,920 --> 03:06:50,000
» They're just moving it over.

3990
03:06:49,680 --> 03:06:52,479
» Okay.

3991
03:06:50,000 --> 03:06:55,520
» Right. My point but my point was we

3992
03:06:52,479 --> 03:06:57,520
spent $5.3 million.

3993
03:06:55,520 --> 03:06:59,120
I I if you're going to play the game

3994
03:06:57,520 --> 03:07:01,680
with, you know, we're going to discount

3995
03:06:59,120 --> 03:07:03,279
the services down to, you know,

3996
03:07:01,680 --> 03:07:05,760
$300,000.

3997
03:07:03,279 --> 03:07:09,520
Hell, just throw throw the $300,000 in

3998
03:07:05,760 --> 03:07:11,760
and say, "Hey, it's a package deal.

3999
03:07:09,520 --> 03:07:13,920
Is there any opportunity, you know, to

4000
03:07:11,760 --> 03:07:16,720
do that? I mean, since they discounting

4001
03:07:13,920 --> 03:07:18,880
a million $600,000,

4002
03:07:16,720 --> 03:07:21,439
$300,000 shouldn't mean that much. I

4003
03:07:18,880 --> 03:07:23,840
just, you know, it's just it's it's

4004
03:07:21,439 --> 03:07:26,560
gamesmanship to me. I, you know, I just

4005
03:07:23,840 --> 03:07:29,040
I'm having a real difficult time. And

4006
03:07:26,560 --> 03:07:32,160
when staff when my staff gets to, you

4007
03:07:29,040 --> 03:07:36,960
know, drilling through this and then we

4008
03:07:32,160 --> 03:07:39,520
go back and we see, you know, so

4009
03:07:36,960 --> 03:07:43,840
what are we not in a position to say,

4010
03:07:39,520 --> 03:07:45,200
hey, throw in the 300,000?

4011
03:07:43,840 --> 03:07:48,319
» Yeah, go ahead and answer that. But

4012
03:07:45,200 --> 03:07:50,319
» Yeah, so commissioner, we likely did. I

4013
03:07:48,319 --> 03:07:53,600
wasn't involved in those discussions,

4014
03:07:50,319 --> 03:07:55,279
but what I can tell you is from AWS's

4015
03:07:53,600 --> 03:07:57,439
perspective, they would not entertain

4016
03:07:55,279 --> 03:07:58,960
this discussion until we first committed

4017
03:07:57,439 --> 03:08:01,760
to buying the service.

4018
03:07:58,960 --> 03:08:03,760
» But yeah, but that was my my staff went

4019
03:08:01,760 --> 03:08:04,479
back and pulled the paper that that was

4020
03:08:03,760 --> 03:08:06,560
March.

4021
03:08:04,479 --> 03:08:08,640
» Yes. And then the negot the back and

4022
03:08:06,560 --> 03:08:10,160
forth between Dallas County and AWS on

4023
03:08:08,640 --> 03:08:12,479
the discounts and what that looks like,

4024
03:08:10,160 --> 03:08:14,399
what the support structure looks like uh

4025
03:08:12,479 --> 03:08:16,560
took some time to get it in front of the

4026
03:08:14,399 --> 03:08:19,600
commissioner's court once the original

4027
03:08:16,560 --> 03:08:23,120
purchase was executed.

4028
03:08:19,600 --> 03:08:24,720
» Yeah. Okay. You know, I you know, you

4029
03:08:23,120 --> 03:08:27,439
know, I love the fact that they're doing

4030
03:08:24,720 --> 03:08:30,080
us such a bless doing us such a a good

4031
03:08:27,439 --> 03:08:31,760
big favor. But yeah, we just bought five

4032
03:08:30,080 --> 03:08:34,880
point. We just gave them all our cloud

4033
03:08:31,760 --> 03:08:37,680
service. Teran be 300,000 to transfer it

4034
03:08:34,880 --> 03:08:38,880
over and but they're going to save us a

4035
03:08:37,680 --> 03:08:41,359
million six. Okay.

4036
03:08:38,880 --> 03:08:43,200
» But it had to be a step one, step two.

4037
03:08:41,359 --> 03:08:44,000
That's what you're saying.

4038
03:08:43,200 --> 03:08:45,200
» Yes. Okay.

4039
03:08:44,000 --> 03:08:47,680
» Yes, ma'am. That's correct.

4040
03:08:45,200 --> 03:08:50,000
» Yeah. Okay. Co-ile could say the same

4041
03:08:47,680 --> 03:08:51,359
thing uh with, you know, with, you know,

4042
03:08:50,000 --> 03:08:53,040
their their discount. They could have

4043
03:08:51,359 --> 03:08:54,479
said, well, but you know, buy the

4044
03:08:53,040 --> 03:08:56,640
service and then we'll talk to you about

4045
03:08:54,479 --> 03:08:58,319
the discount. Just so happened, you

4046
03:08:56,640 --> 03:08:58,720
know, we already had. Anyway, call the

4047
03:08:58,319 --> 03:08:59,600
question.

4048
03:08:58,720 --> 03:09:02,080
» Question. Judge.

4049
03:08:59,600 --> 03:09:03,120
» All those in favor signify by saying I.

4050
03:09:02,080 --> 03:09:05,680
I.

4051
03:09:03,120 --> 03:09:07,520
» Any opposed? All right, that motion

4052
03:09:05,680 --> 03:09:10,080
carries unanimously

4053
03:09:07,520 --> 03:09:13,520
» With Commissioner Summerman out of the

4054
03:09:10,080 --> 03:09:16,880
out of the summer out of the room. So

4055
03:09:13,520 --> 03:09:19,920
» By unanimously I mean four to zero.

4056
03:09:16,880 --> 03:09:22,160
» Who second? Uh who second? I I did.

4057
03:09:19,920 --> 03:09:26,080
Commissioner Price moved. I second. Yes.

4058
03:09:22,160 --> 03:09:28,479

03:09:33,840 --> 03:09:37,840
county administrator.

4063
03:09:35,920 --> 03:09:39,279
» Um,

4064
03:09:37,840 --> 03:09:40,240
» Do you know what time we're going to go

4065
03:09:39,279 --> 03:09:42,160
back?

4066
03:09:40,240 --> 03:09:45,520
» Um, I just need to go over a couple of

4067
03:09:42,160 --> 03:09:47,200
items. So, 1:00 we can get back. So, um,

4068
03:09:45,520 --> 03:09:49,359
» Let's make it 10:5, right?

4069
03:09:47,200 --> 03:09:51,520
» Because it's 12:05 now.

4070
03:09:49,359 --> 03:09:53,359
» I have to leave this afternoon, go speak

4071
03:09:51,520 --> 03:09:54,880
at a conference. I don't want to miss

» All right.

4078
03:10:01,439 --> 03:10:04,880
» Is it an executive session or is from

4079
03:10:04,000 --> 03:10:07,760

4080
03:10:04,880 --> 03:10:11,600
» Executive session. So, um we will come

03:10:15,040 --> 03:10:18,240

03:10:39,359 --> 03:10:43,920
previously posted any action as a result

Hey.

4103
04:29:53,680 --> 04:29:56,680
» Okay.

4104
04:30:00,720 --> 04:30:04,279
» I don't have an answer.

4105
04:32:10,800 --> 04:32:14,439
test. Okay.

4106
04:32:18,319 --> 04:32:23,199
» Yeah, we finished being

4107
04:32:21,920 --> 04:32:25,359
» Am I ready?

4108
04:32:23,199 --> 04:32:26,720
» Oh, okay. Okay. I misunderstood what you

4109
04:32:25,359 --> 04:32:29,040
said.

4110
04:32:26,720 --> 04:32:31,199
» All right. Uh, we apologize. We did come

4111
04:32:29,040 --> 04:32:34,800
back a little late. We managed to finish

4112
04:32:31,199 --> 04:32:39,120
close session. Um, and Daryl has pointed

4113
04:32:34,800 --> 04:32:41,760
out that I we had a speaker on an item,

4114
04:32:39,120 --> 04:32:44,399
Mr. Dylan Thrasher,

4115
04:32:41,760 --> 04:32:46,159
» But the way it was written on our sheets

4116
04:32:44,399 --> 04:32:50,399
didn't indicate that Dylan was speaking

4117
04:32:46,159 --> 04:32:52,800
about that item. So, Dylan, I apologize

4118
04:32:50,399 --> 04:32:55,199
that you had to wait to speak on the

4119
04:32:52,800 --> 04:32:57,760
item, but in our we've already read the

4120
04:32:55,199 --> 04:33:00,800
rules of the quorum, I think. So, please

4121
04:32:57,760 --> 04:33:03,600
come forward and and uh you know, you've

4122
04:33:00,800 --> 04:33:05,600
got three minutes and when you get when

4123
04:33:03,600 --> 04:33:08,561
you see the clock go to zero, just

4124
04:33:05,600 --> 04:33:12,273
finish your thought. I apologize again.

4125
04:33:08,561 --> 04:33:12,273
» Not a problem. [clears throat]

4126
04:33:12,799 --> 04:33:16,959
» Good morning, commissioners. Uh my name

4127
04:33:14,400 --> 04:33:20,160
is Dylan Thrasher. I work in uh the

4128
04:33:16,959 --> 04:33:22,160
eviction courts uh for landlords. Today

4129
04:33:20,160 --> 04:33:23,680
I am [clears throat] going to be handing

4130
04:33:22,160 --> 04:33:25,920
the court clerk a written summary of

4131
04:33:23,680 --> 04:33:27,600
critical findings uh on the county's

4132
04:33:25,920 --> 04:33:32,240
grant to the Dallas Eviction Advocacy

4133
04:33:27,600 --> 04:33:35,520
Center. Um every finding has um is is

4134
04:33:32,240 --> 04:33:39,199
created from the own public records um

4135
04:33:35,520 --> 04:33:43,719
that DEAC shares as well as uh internal

4136
04:33:39,199 --> 04:33:43,719
county documents. Um

4137
04:33:44,080 --> 04:33:48,959
the find findings are that uh the DAC

4138
04:33:47,039 --> 04:33:52,160
program has no meaningful elig

4139
04:33:48,959 --> 04:33:56,080
eligibility controls. Um the court the

4140
04:33:52,160 --> 04:33:58,080
court records do not currently um record

4141
04:33:56,080 --> 04:34:00,879
the attorney representation for

4142
04:33:58,080 --> 04:34:03,840
defendants in in Odyssey. Well, there's

4143
04:34:00,879 --> 04:34:05,279
only one judge uh that is that is

4144
04:34:03,840 --> 04:34:08,879
reporting these. Therefore, there's no

4145
04:34:05,279 --> 04:34:11,279
auditability of of the DEAC at all. even

4146
04:34:08,879 --> 04:34:14,799
if we wanted to we we couldn't at this

4147
04:34:11,279 --> 04:34:17,279
current time. Um

4148
04:34:14,799 --> 04:34:19,439
the findings also are that the

4149
04:34:17,279 --> 04:34:22,000
cost-saving study which the which was

4150
04:34:19,439 --> 04:34:26,480
commissioned um for this for the program

4151
04:34:22,000 --> 04:34:29,600
is absolutely um it's it's the data is

4152
04:34:26,480 --> 04:34:33,199
is un auditable and unverifiable as

4153
04:34:29,600 --> 04:34:35,439
well. So there is so the Perryman group

4154
04:34:33,199 --> 04:34:37,359
um I I reached out to them to ask for

4155
04:34:35,439 --> 04:34:40,719
their methodologies and data to to

4156
04:34:37,359 --> 04:34:44,480
validate any of their $118 million

4157
04:34:40,719 --> 04:34:47,439
claim. They they did not they they

4158
04:34:44,480 --> 04:34:53,000
refused to provide any data and just um

4159
04:34:47,439 --> 04:34:53,000
refused to comment at all. Um

4160
04:34:53,760 --> 04:34:59,840
the and then the the DEAC receive uh

4161
04:34:56,799 --> 04:35:01,680
provided a recidivism study um about

4162
04:34:59,840 --> 04:35:05,680
their effectiveness

4163
04:35:01,680 --> 04:35:08,000
um so far and unfortunately

4164
04:35:05,680 --> 04:35:10,080
um their recidivism study was flawed

4165
04:35:08,000 --> 04:35:11,760
flawed materially. they instead of

4166
04:35:10,080 --> 04:35:13,600
looking forward in their data, they

4167
04:35:11,760 --> 04:35:16,639
looked backward and assessed that

4168
04:35:13,600 --> 04:35:18,240
assessed if the pre the person's

4169
04:35:16,639 --> 04:35:20,719
previous

4170
04:35:18,240 --> 04:35:22,799
um presence in eviction court somehow

4171
04:35:20,719 --> 04:35:25,520
correlated with their their them

4172
04:35:22,799 --> 04:35:27,840
representing them at the time. It's uh

4173
04:35:25,520 --> 04:35:30,240
so it's it's absolutely it's it's a

4174
04:35:27,840 --> 04:35:35,279
reverse recidivism study. So it it

4175
04:35:30,240 --> 04:35:38,160
provides no value. Um

4176
04:35:35,279 --> 04:35:40,799
Mark Milton, which is the uh chair,

4177
04:35:38,160 --> 04:35:44,799
which is the chair of the board,

4178
04:35:40,799 --> 04:35:49,439
um keeps DEASU's books uh at his home.

4179
04:35:44,799 --> 04:35:52,719
He's a major donor and he is and he he's

4180
04:35:49,439 --> 04:35:54,400
essentially um is unable to be removed

4181
04:35:52,719 --> 04:35:57,600
from that board because of how many

4182
04:35:54,400 --> 04:36:01,199
seats him and his family take.

4183
04:35:57,600 --> 04:36:02,959
Um the [clears throat] and whenever I've

4184
04:36:01,199 --> 04:36:05,600
critic whenever I've uh brought

4185
04:36:02,959 --> 04:36:08,240
criticism up up to this point uh with to

4186
04:36:05,600 --> 04:36:11,039
the health and human services division

4187
04:36:08,240 --> 04:36:13,119
um instead of addressing the compliance

4188
04:36:11,039 --> 04:36:15,920
concerns that I had, he instead chose to

4189
04:36:13,119 --> 04:36:18,160
attack attack my uh my reputation to the

4190
04:36:15,920 --> 04:36:20,799
uh to that health and human services

4191
04:36:18,160 --> 04:36:25,039
director. Thank you.

4192
04:36:20,799 --> 04:36:27,920
» Thank you, sir. All right. Um,

4193
04:36:25,039 --> 04:36:29,920
I believe we've got we're we're now back

4194
04:36:27,920 --> 04:36:33,279
to where we were

4195
04:36:29,920 --> 04:36:36,279
» And where we were in our agenda is the

4196
04:36:33,279 --> 04:36:36,279
RFPs.

4197
04:36:36,639 --> 04:36:41,199
» So, those RFPs are one through five.

4198
04:36:41,166 --> 04:36:43,279
[clears throat]

4199
04:36:41,199 --> 04:36:45,680
» Any desire to pull those or can I get a

4200
04:36:43,279 --> 04:36:46,240
motion on the RFPs?

4201
04:36:45,680 --> 04:36:49,279
» Second.

4202
04:36:46,240 --> 04:36:50,879
» All right. Any discussion on these RFPs?

4203
04:36:49,279 --> 04:36:53,279
» Hold on.

4204
04:36:50,879 --> 04:36:54,879
» One to five. I'd like to

4205
04:36:53,279 --> 04:36:55,680
» Judge. I think we have a motion over

4206
04:36:54,879 --> 04:36:57,279
here.

4207
04:36:55,680 --> 04:36:58,879
» We

4208
04:36:57,279 --> 04:37:00,561
We do. We have a motion.

4209
04:36:58,879 --> 04:37:02,561
» Are we out of out of step? I finish up

4210
04:37:00,561 --> 04:37:04,799
with this one and then

4211
04:37:02,561 --> 04:37:05,840
» Oh, okay. So, you yours isn't on the

4212
04:37:04,799 --> 04:37:06,959
RFPs?

4213
04:37:05,840 --> 04:37:11,439
» No.

4214
04:37:06,959 --> 04:37:13,039
» On something else on Okay. So, um on the

4215
04:37:11,439 --> 04:37:14,080
RFPs, you want to look at those. There's

4216
04:37:13,039 --> 04:37:14,480
not.

4217
04:37:14,080 --> 04:37:19,359
» Okay.

4218
04:37:14,480 --> 04:37:20,320
» Um Okay. Um uh no. So all those in favor

4219
04:37:19,359 --> 04:37:22,240
uh signify by saying

4220
04:37:20,320 --> 04:37:23,840
» I there's there's a speaker for the last

4221
04:37:22,240 --> 04:37:27,600
one.

4222
04:37:23,840 --> 04:37:30,080
» That was for bids, not RFPs.

4223
04:37:27,600 --> 04:37:33,080
» Okay. Mr. Arnold Ku.

4224
04:37:30,080 --> 04:37:33,080
» Well,

4225
04:37:33,199 --> 04:37:36,480
he was only here in case we needed him.

4226
04:37:34,879 --> 04:37:36,639
He was he was representing the Okay. Got

4227
04:37:36,480 --> 04:37:37,359
it.

4228
04:37:36,639 --> 04:37:40,400
» Yes, ma'am.

4229
04:37:37,359 --> 04:37:41,760
» Yeah. Only if there were any questions.

4230
04:37:40,400 --> 04:37:43,199
» And no questions then.

4231
04:37:41,760 --> 04:37:45,279
» No questions. I just want to say I'm

4232
04:37:43,199 --> 04:37:47,760
glad to see the weatherization and

4233
04:37:45,279 --> 04:37:48,959
» Approve. Good. All those in favor

4234
04:37:47,760 --> 04:37:49,279
signify by saying I.

4235
04:37:48,959 --> 04:37:50,000
» I.

4236
04:37:49,279 --> 04:37:52,080
» I.

4237
04:37:50,000 --> 04:37:55,039
» Any opposed?

4238
04:37:52,080 --> 04:37:57,359
» Motion carries unanimously.

4239
04:37:55,039 --> 04:38:00,400
» No, I just had a quick question. I would

4240
04:37:57,359 --> 04:38:03,039
would ask for a reconsideration of

4241
04:38:00,400 --> 04:38:04,879
budget item number one. Uh because I've

4242
04:38:03,039 --> 04:38:05,520
received additional information.

4243
04:38:04,879 --> 04:38:07,439
» Okay.

4244
04:38:05,520 --> 04:38:11,039
» Go through that

4245
04:38:07,439 --> 04:38:12,719
» And put it on the next agenda. Second.

4246
04:38:11,039 --> 04:38:14,400
Well, we'd have to consider it now. And

4247
04:38:12,719 --> 04:38:16,480
I second the motion to reconsider.

4248
04:38:14,400 --> 04:38:18,320
» Well, let me see what budget item. Okay.

4249
04:38:16,480 --> 04:38:18,959
This is court order number one.

4250
04:38:18,320 --> 04:38:21,119
» Yes.

4251
04:38:18,959 --> 04:38:24,480
» Quarter number one under budget.

4252
04:38:21,119 --> 04:38:25,279
» Okay. So, not the TR, but the budget

4253
04:38:24,480 --> 04:38:26,719
itself.

4254
04:38:25,279 --> 04:38:28,959
» No, I'm sorry. That was should have been

4255
04:38:26,719 --> 04:38:30,799
the TR.

4256
04:38:28,959 --> 04:38:33,359
» Which one do you you want to you want to

4257
04:38:30,799 --> 04:38:33,920
recon order number two?

4258
04:38:33,359 --> 04:38:34,879
» Sorry about

4259
04:38:33,920 --> 04:38:35,520
» Not one.

4260
04:38:34,879 --> 04:38:36,879
» Yep. It's two.

4261
04:38:35,520 --> 04:38:38,639
» I'm sorry. Number two.

4262
04:38:36,879 --> 04:38:42,719
» Okay. That matches my notes.

4263
04:38:38,639 --> 04:38:44,480
» Okay. Yeah. A as a person who voted in

4264
04:38:42,719 --> 04:38:47,199
the affirmative, you can seek a

4265
04:38:44,480 --> 04:38:48,480
reconsideration. You'll need a second.

4266
04:38:47,199 --> 04:38:52,000
So you

4267
04:38:48,480 --> 04:38:56,240
» Okay. So now that's back up for a

4268
04:38:52,000 --> 04:38:59,439
discussion. Then the number two if there

4269
04:38:56,240 --> 04:39:01,199
is a discussion or a vote or whatever

4270
04:38:59,439 --> 04:39:03,957
any

4271
04:39:01,199 --> 04:39:04,799
» Um what do we want to anybody have any

4272
04:39:03,957 --> 04:39:06,240
[clears throat] discussion?

4273
04:39:04,799 --> 04:39:08,400
» I I don't have any.

4274
04:39:06,240 --> 04:39:11,439
» I don't have any either. Well, you know,

4275
04:39:08,400 --> 04:39:14,400
the thing is is that uh you know, you

4276
04:39:11,439 --> 04:39:16,799
can do a substitute if if we're going to

4277
04:39:14,400 --> 04:39:18,799
if we're going to do this gamesmanship.

4278
04:39:16,799 --> 04:39:20,959
Uh I [snorts] mean, I'll provide for a

4279
04:39:18,799 --> 04:39:23,119
substitute motion. What do you mean a

4280
04:39:20,959 --> 04:39:23,680
consider reconsideration?

4281
04:39:23,119 --> 04:39:24,799
» Um

4282
04:39:23,680 --> 04:39:26,080
» I don't think she's engaged in

4283
04:39:24,799 --> 04:39:28,160
gamesmanship.

4284
04:39:26,080 --> 04:39:30,799
» Well, the problem is the problem is is

4285
04:39:28,160 --> 04:39:33,199
that we I mean there's I mean I don't

4286
04:39:30,799 --> 04:39:35,600
know what new information we've been

4287
04:39:33,199 --> 04:39:37,760
dealing with this for the last,

4288
04:39:35,600 --> 04:39:38,480
» You know, forever.

4289
04:39:37,760 --> 04:39:41,040
or months.

4290
04:39:38,480 --> 04:39:43,680
» But the but my questions dealt with the

4291
04:39:41,040 --> 04:39:44,480
understandability of the wording.

4292
04:39:43,680 --> 04:39:44,878
» De with what?

4293
04:39:44,480 --> 04:39:47,200
» Wording.

4294
04:39:44,878 --> 04:39:48,718
» Oh, okay. Uh is that a question for the

4295
04:39:47,200 --> 04:39:49,760
lawyers or you feel like you've got it

4296
04:39:48,718 --> 04:39:52,480
now?

4297
04:39:49,760 --> 04:39:54,080
» Uh no, I would like to I'd like to go

4298
04:39:52,480 --> 04:39:54,878
through it a little bit. We don't have

4299
04:39:54,080 --> 04:39:55,840
to do it

4300
04:39:54,878 --> 04:39:56,400
» The wording.

4301
04:39:55,840 --> 04:40:00,400
» The wording.

4302
04:39:56,400 --> 04:40:01,680
» Oh, what word? Help help me the word.

4303
04:40:00,400 --> 04:40:02,560
What's the wording? What's the

4304
04:40:01,680 --> 04:40:05,840
difference in the wording?

4305
04:40:02,560 --> 04:40:07,200
» Understandability of the wording.

4306
04:40:05,840 --> 04:40:10,400
when I went back and reread

4307
04:40:07,200 --> 04:40:14,000
» Here. Let me read let me read it again

4308
04:40:10,400 --> 04:40:16,480
» Because somebody wrote Okay, so here is

4309
04:40:14,000 --> 04:40:21,280
the wording and it and it is confusing

4310
04:40:16,480 --> 04:40:25,440
but it's required by law. Um, so

4311
04:40:21,280 --> 04:40:29,280
what would if if you voted for this TR

4312
04:40:25,440 --> 04:40:31,760
what would appear on the ballot is this

4313
04:40:29,280 --> 04:40:35,360
question to vote yay or nay for the

4314
04:40:31,760 --> 04:40:38,400
voters approving the advalorum tax rate

4315
04:40:35,360 --> 04:40:38,878
of up to

4316
04:40:38,400 --> 04:40:45,160
» Two

4317
04:40:38,878 --> 04:40:45,160
» Of up to uh 0.25900 259000

4318
04:40:45,600 --> 04:40:53,840
per 100 valuation in County of Dallas

4319
04:40:48,878 --> 04:40:56,840
for the current year. A rate that is

4320
04:40:53,840 --> 04:40:56,840
0.0285

4321
04:40:57,280 --> 04:41:05,280
higher than per 100 valuation than the

4322
04:41:01,680 --> 04:41:07,680
voter approval tax rate of county of

4323
04:41:05,280 --> 04:41:09,200
Dallas for the purpose of funding

4324
04:41:07,680 --> 04:41:11,360
programs

4325
04:41:09,200 --> 04:41:12,958
that measurably reduce. Oh, there are a

4326
04:41:11,360 --> 04:41:17,840
bunch of typos in here. That's part of

4327
04:41:12,958 --> 04:41:21,920
the problem. Um, we probably

4328
04:41:17,840 --> 04:41:24,638
Does anyone have what what was actually

4329
04:41:21,920 --> 04:41:26,560
sent on this? Because there are quite a

4330
04:41:24,638 --> 04:41:30,000
few tabos

4331
04:41:26,560 --> 04:41:33,440
uh in what was presented.

4332
04:41:30,000 --> 04:41:36,400
Yeah. Um,

4333
04:41:33,440 --> 04:41:38,638
I think I read some of this mess a few

4334
04:41:36,400 --> 04:41:41,920
days ago and fixed those typos so I can

4335
04:41:38,638 --> 04:41:44,000
try my best to remember um what that

4336
04:41:41,920 --> 04:41:47,600
was, but like the word the goes in front

4337
04:41:44,000 --> 04:41:51,200
of county. Um, and there's no two after

4338
04:41:47,600 --> 04:41:52,878
the word that before measurably.

4339
04:41:51,200 --> 04:41:55,200
I'll

4340
04:41:52,878 --> 04:41:57,600
try my best here. Approving the

4341
04:41:55,200 --> 04:41:59,440
advalorum. Could somebody go ahead and

4342
04:41:57,600 --> 04:42:01,680
pull up though the actual

4343
04:41:59,440 --> 04:42:03,360
» Judge? I have it pulled up. If you want

4344
04:42:01,680 --> 04:42:04,080
if you want us to read it.

4345
04:42:03,360 --> 04:42:05,920
» Yes, please.

4346
04:42:04,080 --> 04:42:08,000
» Yes. But hang on a second.

4347
04:42:05,920 --> 04:42:09,520
» Well, while I'm doing all the reading at

4348
04:42:08,000 --> 04:42:12,400
the end of the day, then you're going to

4349
04:42:09,520 --> 04:42:15,520
have to do put the calculations

4350
04:42:12,400 --> 04:42:17,520
out because this this is raising of the

4351
04:42:15,520 --> 04:42:21,040
tax. I want to know how much it is. I

4352
04:42:17,520 --> 04:42:24,240
know there was a million and and a half.

4353
04:42:21,040 --> 04:42:25,600
So, I mean, be prepared to put all of

4354
04:42:24,240 --> 04:42:28,480
this. If you're going to put it in the

4355
04:42:25,600 --> 04:42:30,400
record, put it in. Right. and how much

4356
04:42:28,480 --> 04:42:32,638
more each

4357
04:42:30,400 --> 04:42:35,920
» Resident in Dallas County will have to

4358
04:42:32,638 --> 04:42:39,798
pay additional taxes because this is

4359
04:42:35,920 --> 04:42:39,798
raising taxes.

4360
04:42:40,240 --> 04:42:46,760
» Language or no language. This means

4361
04:42:43,040 --> 04:42:46,760
we're raising taxes

4362
04:42:47,200 --> 04:42:50,240
» And it's not the three cents. It's more

4363
04:42:49,120 --> 04:42:52,080
than six.

4364
04:42:50,240 --> 04:42:55,080
» Super duper.

4365
04:42:52,080 --> 04:42:55,080
» Okay.

4366
04:43:08,240 --> 04:43:15,200
All right, guys. Let me

4367
04:43:11,360 --> 04:43:17,520
start over. Please bear with me. Um, so

4368
04:43:15,200 --> 04:43:22,160
what would be on the

4369
04:43:17,520 --> 04:43:24,400
uh the ballot is the following uh

4370
04:43:22,160 --> 04:43:27,600
question.

4371
04:43:24,400 --> 04:43:29,200
approving the advalorum tax rate of up

4372
04:43:27,600 --> 04:43:32,200
to

4373
04:43:29,200 --> 04:43:32,200
0.025

4374
04:43:32,878 --> 04:43:38,638
900 0

4375
04:43:35,840 --> 04:43:42,798
per 100 valuation

4376
04:43:38,638 --> 04:43:46,958
in the county of Dallas for the current

4377
04:43:42,798 --> 04:43:50,240
year a rate that is up to

4378
04:43:46,958 --> 04:43:54,878
0.0285 0285

4379
04:43:50,240 --> 04:43:57,200
higher per 100 valuation than the voter

4380
04:43:54,878 --> 04:44:00,480
approved tax rate for the county of

4381
04:43:57,200 --> 04:44:03,120
Dallas for the purpose of funding

4382
04:44:00,480 --> 04:44:06,798
programs that measurably reduce

4383
04:44:03,120 --> 04:44:09,760
homelessness and resolve encampments to

4384
04:44:06,798 --> 04:44:13,040
improve neighborhood vibrancy, support

4385
04:44:09,760 --> 04:44:15,360
people to achieve self-sufficiency

4386
04:44:13,040 --> 04:44:19,200
and increase access to mental health

4387
04:44:15,360 --> 04:44:19,200
treatment and stable housing.

4388
04:44:20,240 --> 04:44:23,200
Let me see. There's something else

4389
04:44:22,718 --> 04:44:25,600
stable

4390
04:44:23,200 --> 04:44:26,160
» For Dallas County Poppers.

4391
04:44:25,600 --> 04:44:27,920
» Yeah.

4392
04:44:26,160 --> 04:44:28,320
» And improve Dallas County safety

4393
04:44:27,920 --> 04:44:29,840
services.

4394
04:44:28,320 --> 04:44:32,240
» Yeah. Yeah. And the other word is an

4395
04:44:29,840 --> 04:44:35,920
improve Dallas County public safety

4396
04:44:32,240 --> 04:44:39,600
services. And then after that

4397
04:44:35,920 --> 04:44:45,920
» You have last year the analorum tax rate

4398
04:44:39,600 --> 04:44:48,798
in Dallas County was 0.2155 2155

4399
04:44:45,920 --> 04:44:51,680
per

4400
04:44:48,798 --> 04:44:52,718
100 valuation. That should be the end of

4401
04:44:51,680 --> 04:44:55,200
it.

4402
04:44:52,718 --> 04:44:57,760
» Yeah. And so if I can summarize, and

4403
04:44:55,200 --> 04:45:00,638
somebody correct me if I get this wrong,

4404
04:44:57,760 --> 04:45:02,080
it if we vote yes to reconsider this,

4405
04:45:00,638 --> 04:45:07,040
Dr. Daniel,

4406
04:45:02,080 --> 04:45:09,680
» Then we would have a week from today um

4407
04:45:07,040 --> 04:45:12,320
a chance to vote on this. This is the

4408
04:45:09,680 --> 04:45:14,240
vote to post it. In other words, we're

4409
04:45:12,320 --> 04:45:16,560
putting it out there to the public.

4410
04:45:14,240 --> 04:45:19,280
» Let Yeah. The decision as to whether we

4411
04:45:16,560 --> 04:45:21,520
actually do the tax or not. Uh that is

4412
04:45:19,280 --> 04:45:23,600
to say, vote to allow the tax to be

4413
04:45:21,520 --> 04:45:26,240
considered by the voters. We're not

4414
04:45:23,600 --> 04:45:32,160
raising the tax. We're asking the voters

4415
04:45:26,240 --> 04:45:36,240
to do so. Um, so this would just put on

4416
04:45:32,160 --> 04:45:38,560
notice to the public that this is coming

4417
04:45:36,240 --> 04:45:41,200
and it's coming a week from today and

4418
04:45:38,560 --> 04:45:44,000
would you like to be heard and come on

4419
04:45:41,200 --> 04:45:48,400
down and talk to you and us and you know

4420
04:45:44,000 --> 04:45:50,400
do the democracy thing um and

4421
04:45:48,400 --> 04:45:53,440
uh you know and then we would consider

4422
04:45:50,400 --> 04:45:56,160
whether we actually do that tax

4423
04:45:53,440 --> 04:45:58,160
um that put that tax for the voters to

4424
04:45:56,160 --> 04:46:00,400
decide not us but for the voters to

4425
04:45:58,160 --> 04:46:02,080
decide one week from now. And I know

4426
04:46:00,400 --> 04:46:03,760
that's confusing especially with the

4427
04:46:02,080 --> 04:46:05,120
language that we have. Dear God, I know

4428
04:46:03,760 --> 04:46:07,680
it's confusing,

4429
04:46:05,120 --> 04:46:10,000
» But it's nothing confusing about again

4430
04:46:07,680 --> 04:46:13,760
what's the appropriation

4431
04:46:10,000 --> 04:46:19,520
should that go forward. Okay,

4432
04:46:13,760 --> 04:46:21,600
» That there's a million and a uh

4433
04:46:19,520 --> 04:46:24,638
what what's what's the percentage of

4434
04:46:21,600 --> 04:46:27,920
raising the taxes given that? Number

4435
04:46:24,638 --> 04:46:29,840
one. And number two, you know, like I

4436
04:46:27,920 --> 04:46:32,000
said, you know, might want to do a

4437
04:46:29,840 --> 04:46:35,280
substitute because my contention has

4438
04:46:32,000 --> 04:46:37,520
been all along

4439
04:46:35,280 --> 04:46:38,480
» Whether we're even going to reconsider.

4440
04:46:37,520 --> 04:46:40,240
» Do what?

4441
04:46:38,480 --> 04:46:41,200
» This isn't a vote on anything other than

4442
04:46:40,240 --> 04:46:41,840
whether we rec

4443
04:46:41,200 --> 04:46:42,240
» I got it.

4444
04:46:41,840 --> 04:46:45,200
» Okay.

4445
04:46:42,240 --> 04:46:47,040
» But I want to know I want every I want

4446
04:46:45,200 --> 04:46:48,878
all eyes open as to what we're

4447
04:46:47,040 --> 04:46:51,920
reconsidering.

4448
04:46:48,878 --> 04:46:54,240
and we're reconsidering the possibility

4449
04:46:51,920 --> 04:46:58,000
as to whether or not you move that

4450
04:46:54,240 --> 04:47:00,560
forward or we do an amendment to move

4451
04:46:58,000 --> 04:47:04,000
that child care and public safety

4452
04:47:00,560 --> 04:47:06,160
forward. So, so just so everyone

4453
04:47:04,000 --> 04:47:09,440
understands and if I get this wrong, DA,

4454
04:47:06,160 --> 04:47:14,400
make sure to somebody interject. There

4455
04:47:09,440 --> 04:47:18,958
are deadlines involved in a TR.

4456
04:47:14,400 --> 04:47:22,560
Um, one of those deadlines is that seven

4457
04:47:18,958 --> 04:47:27,280
days for a for a continuous period,

4458
04:47:22,560 --> 04:47:30,000
seven days before a vote on a TR,

4459
04:47:27,280 --> 04:47:34,000
the language that will be on the ballot

4460
04:47:30,000 --> 04:47:37,280
and the statutory notice to the voters

4461
04:47:34,000 --> 04:47:40,080
must be continuously on our website and

4462
04:47:37,280 --> 04:47:41,360
must be post for seven days. So, in

4463
04:47:40,080 --> 04:47:43,440
other words, if we're going to hear this

4464
04:47:41,360 --> 04:47:45,840
on the 11th, if we're going to post it

4465
04:47:43,440 --> 04:47:48,798
and have the chance to vote it up or

4466
04:47:45,840 --> 04:47:51,760
down or do whatever on the 11th, it

4467
04:47:48,798 --> 04:47:55,120
whatever we come up with, let's say we

4468
04:47:51,760 --> 04:47:57,200
come up with it at 2:30, then we're

4469
04:47:55,120 --> 04:47:59,600
going to the fastest we can vote on it

4470
04:47:57,200 --> 04:48:03,040
next Tuesday is 2:30 because or whenever

4471
04:47:59,600 --> 04:48:05,760
they get it posted, then next week, just

4472
04:48:03,040 --> 04:48:08,320
because something was posted doesn't

4473
04:48:05,760 --> 04:48:10,878
mean it will actually pass next week.

4474
04:48:08,320 --> 04:48:14,400
There'll be a vote next week on whether

4475
04:48:10,878 --> 04:48:17,760
it passes. If it if at any point we

4476
04:48:14,400 --> 04:48:20,798
either don't post it today or we don't

4477
04:48:17,760 --> 04:48:23,040
vote for it next Tuesday, it's dead. If

4478
04:48:20,798 --> 04:48:25,600
it's not dead from one of those two

4479
04:48:23,040 --> 04:48:28,080
procedural hurdles, it goes before the

4480
04:48:25,600 --> 04:48:30,400
voters on November the 5th for them to

4481
04:48:28,080 --> 04:48:32,878
decide whether they want this or not.

4482
04:48:30,400 --> 04:48:34,400
» But my point is, you know, you you know,

4483
04:48:32,878 --> 04:48:37,840
it's interesting when you want to use

4484
04:48:34,400 --> 04:48:41,280
transparency. Should it go forward in

4485
04:48:37,840 --> 04:48:44,320
whatever version whether it's

4486
04:48:41,280 --> 04:48:47,520
homeless, public safety, and or child

4487
04:48:44,320 --> 04:48:52,638
care splitting a million and a half.

4488
04:48:47,520 --> 04:48:54,638
What is the cost associated with raising

4489
04:48:52,638 --> 04:48:56,480
that tax?

4490
04:48:54,638 --> 04:48:58,718
Because that's what it's I I get it,

4491
04:48:56,480 --> 04:49:01,600
judge, but you know, y'all always want

4492
04:48:58,718 --> 04:49:03,600
to talk about transparency. Should since

4493
04:49:01,600 --> 04:49:07,920
it we leave it out there for a week,

4494
04:49:03,600 --> 04:49:11,840
let's talk about what does it what is

4495
04:49:07,920 --> 04:49:14,160
the probability of cost associated with

4496
04:49:11,840 --> 04:49:16,718
that?

4497
04:49:14,160 --> 04:49:21,360
» Agree. I want to know how much the

4498
04:49:16,718 --> 04:49:23,760
average taxpayer will have to pay if

4499
04:49:21,360 --> 04:49:26,160
this goes into the ballot because that

4500
04:49:23,760 --> 04:49:28,638
should be there too. I mean when we go

4501
04:49:26,160 --> 04:49:30,560
if this is put in the ballot the five of

4502
04:49:28,638 --> 04:49:34,560
us are going to be asked questions. How

4503
04:49:30,560 --> 04:49:36,798
much does that means for me Garcia that

4504
04:49:34,560 --> 04:49:38,798
at the end of the year? How much more

4505
04:49:36,798 --> 04:49:40,080
taxes I'm going to pay? Because that's

4506
04:49:38,798 --> 04:49:42,480
what is going to be in the battle. It's

4507
04:49:40,080 --> 04:49:44,000
going to be you like you want either

4508
04:49:42,480 --> 04:49:45,280
child care of homelessness, you're going

4509
04:49:44,000 --> 04:49:45,920
to pay more.

4510
04:49:45,280 --> 04:49:48,480
» And and

4511
04:49:45,920 --> 04:49:50,240
» How much more per I agree we should do

4512
04:49:48,480 --> 04:49:51,600
that. And are you asking the average

4513
04:49:50,240 --> 04:49:53,280
homeowner, right?

4514
04:49:51,600 --> 04:49:54,798
» Is that what you're asking? Yeah.

4515
04:49:53,280 --> 04:49:56,160
Because because taxpayers include a

4516
04:49:54,798 --> 04:49:58,878
whole bunch of

4517
04:49:56,160 --> 04:50:01,600
» Well because in the you know in some in

4518
04:49:58,878 --> 04:50:03,680
the pollings that we look at everybody

4519
04:50:01,600 --> 04:50:05,760
wants it but at the time that they ask

4520
04:50:03,680 --> 04:50:07,760
them how much are you willing to pay

4521
04:50:05,760 --> 04:50:10,000
most of them say I'm not willing to pay

4522
04:50:07,760 --> 04:50:12,160
anything. And that's when my

4523
04:50:10,000 --> 04:50:13,840
constituents ask me Dr. Garcia how much

4524
04:50:12,160 --> 04:50:16,718
is going to cost me? It's not going to

4525
04:50:13,840 --> 04:50:18,878
be a slice of pizza or a cup of coffee.

4526
04:50:16,718 --> 04:50:22,400
It's going to be like $200 or $300 more

4527
04:50:18,878 --> 04:50:24,240
a year. I'm calculating.

4528
04:50:22,400 --> 04:50:25,920
Dr. Watkins, I will listen to your

4529
04:50:24,240 --> 04:50:28,240
number.

4530
04:50:25,920 --> 04:50:30,718
» Well, what I reference is the taxpayer

4531
04:50:28,240 --> 04:50:33,680
impact statement that's u calculated

4532
04:50:30,718 --> 04:50:36,638
through the TNT and it uses the median

4533
04:50:33,680 --> 04:50:40,240
homestead taxable value. Um, and then it

4534
04:50:36,638 --> 04:50:42,878
compares 2025 to 2026 proposed rate and

4535
04:50:40,240 --> 04:50:48,080
it would go in the paper with the

4536
04:50:42,878 --> 04:50:51,600
notice. So total tax rate for 215500

4537
04:50:48,080 --> 04:50:56,320
which was 2025 adopted tax rate. Median

4538
04:50:51,600 --> 04:50:59,760
homestead taxable value on a $247,900

4539
04:50:56,320 --> 04:51:03,200
home. The tax on that u median homestead

4540
04:50:59,760 --> 04:51:08,120
is 5 was 53422.

4541
04:51:03,200 --> 04:51:08,120
Um the proposed rate of.259650.

4542
04:51:09,200 --> 04:51:12,000
» Well that's not the proposed rate. It's

4543
04:51:10,638 --> 04:51:13,920
lower than that. But that's close

4544
04:51:12,000 --> 04:51:16,958
enough. weird.

4545
04:51:13,920 --> 04:51:18,000
» No, no, there ain't a $247, but she's

4546
04:51:16,958 --> 04:51:18,400
doing average though.

4547
04:51:18,000 --> 04:51:20,080
» Yeah.

4548
04:51:18,400 --> 04:51:22,638
» No, no, no. What I'm saying is the rate

4549
04:51:20,080 --> 04:51:24,638
that we read is is a lower number than

4550
04:51:22,638 --> 04:51:26,080
the one you just said, but go ahead and

4551
04:51:24,638 --> 04:51:26,798
use whatever number you want to to

4552
04:51:26,080 --> 04:51:28,638
answer your question.

4553
04:51:26,798 --> 04:51:31,200
» So, the proposed rate was a three and a

4554
04:51:28,638 --> 04:51:33,840
half cent increase over the

4555
04:51:31,200 --> 04:51:35,520
» Now it's at 2.85 cents.

4556
04:51:33,840 --> 04:51:37,680
» Okay. So, then that'll need to be

4557
04:51:35,520 --> 04:51:39,120
recalculated by the auditor because he

4558
04:51:37,680 --> 04:51:41,680
did it at three and a half cents.

4559
04:51:39,120 --> 04:51:43,280
» Okay. Did you have that information,

4560
04:51:41,680 --> 04:51:43,920
Commissioner Daniels?

4561
04:51:43,280 --> 04:51:45,360
» I'm sorry.

4562
04:51:43,920 --> 04:51:46,878
» Did you have that information? Was this

4563
04:51:45,360 --> 04:51:48,638
the information you're looking for?

4564
04:51:46,878 --> 04:51:50,638
» I think Can I talk with you after the

4565
04:51:48,638 --> 04:51:51,760
meeting?

4566
04:51:50,638 --> 04:51:54,000
» I believe

4567
04:51:51,760 --> 04:51:56,958
» So, the question for this particular

4568
04:51:54,000 --> 04:51:58,718
vote is not how much money, what we

4569
04:51:56,958 --> 04:52:02,240
should vote for, anything. It's whether

4570
04:51:58,718 --> 04:52:02,958
or not we want to reconsider it. So, is

4571
04:52:02,240 --> 04:52:06,638
everybody

4572
04:52:02,958 --> 04:52:09,360
» But judge, but all the information,

4573
04:52:06,638 --> 04:52:11,920
I hear you. But even on the motion to

4574
04:52:09,360 --> 04:52:14,080
reconsider, you know, the thing is it

4575
04:52:11,920 --> 04:52:16,560
just I mean because what she said is

4576
04:52:14,080 --> 04:52:20,080
some new new information, you know, had

4577
04:52:16,560 --> 04:52:23,120
come in did get all of the information

4578
04:52:20,080 --> 04:52:25,360
and the information whether it's 2.85

4579
04:52:23,120 --> 04:52:28,958
or three and a half which the auditor

4580
04:52:25,360 --> 04:52:32,798
has already calculated on that on that

4581
04:52:28,958 --> 04:52:34,000
phantom $247,000

4582
04:52:32,798 --> 04:52:36,638
average house

4583
04:52:34,000 --> 04:52:37,280
» Because there's none of that price. It's

4584
04:52:36,638 --> 04:52:39,120
24

4585
04:52:37,280 --> 04:52:41,280
» The exemptions. It's still 200. You

4586
04:52:39,120 --> 04:52:43,760
can't get to $247,000.

4587
04:52:41,280 --> 04:52:45,600
» So, let's let's go ahead and take a vote

4588
04:52:43,760 --> 04:52:48,638
on the motion to reconsider and then we

4589
04:52:45,600 --> 04:52:51,120
can discuss all the other stuff because

4590
04:52:48,638 --> 04:52:53,120
if the motion to reconsider fails,

4591
04:52:51,120 --> 04:52:55,520
there's nothing else to discuss. And I

4592
04:52:53,120 --> 04:52:57,280
think we're what we're discussing now is

4593
04:52:55,520 --> 04:53:00,000
the merits of whether or not we should

4594
04:52:57,280 --> 04:53:02,080
raise taxes, not the procedural matter

4595
04:53:00,000 --> 04:53:03,920
of whether or not we're going to

4596
04:53:02,080 --> 04:53:06,000
reconsider. So,

4597
04:53:03,920 --> 04:53:08,400
» But but but on the prevailing, if you

4598
04:53:06,000 --> 04:53:10,240
got a prevailing, come on, judge. I

4599
04:53:08,400 --> 04:53:10,878
mean, then you we don't we don't have to

4600
04:53:10,240 --> 04:53:13,120
play this.

4601
04:53:10,878 --> 04:53:14,240
» But we have to vote on if we don't vote

4602
04:53:13,120 --> 04:53:17,120
on it, we can't get to all the things

4603
04:53:14,240 --> 04:53:18,638
you want to talk about. All those in fa

4604
04:53:17,120 --> 04:53:20,560
So, I'm going to call that question. All

4605
04:53:18,638 --> 04:53:22,160
those in favor of her request to

4606
04:53:20,560 --> 04:53:26,160
reconsider,

4607
04:53:22,160 --> 04:53:28,560
» Vote I and all those opposed, vote no.

4608
04:53:26,160 --> 04:53:29,920
So, this is an I is to allow

4609
04:53:28,560 --> 04:53:30,718
reconsideration.

4610
04:53:29,920 --> 04:53:32,240
» I

4611
04:53:30,718 --> 04:53:34,480
» I

4612
04:53:32,240 --> 04:53:35,360
» Okay. No.

4613
04:53:34,480 --> 04:53:37,760
» No.

4614
04:53:35,360 --> 04:53:38,798
» Okay. I'll vote in the affirmative for

4615
04:53:37,760 --> 04:53:39,360
reconsideration.

4616
04:53:38,798 --> 04:53:42,240
» No

4617
04:53:39,360 --> 04:53:44,638
» So So that passes three to two.

4618
04:53:42,240 --> 04:53:47,040
» Okay. So

4619
04:53:44,638 --> 04:53:49,120
» Before us is what we talked about

4620
04:53:47,040 --> 04:53:50,878
earlier, right? Oh, no. It's not.

4621
04:53:49,120 --> 04:53:54,878
Nothing is before us.

4622
04:53:50,878 --> 04:53:56,798
» Um we need to to um what I read into the

4623
04:53:54,878 --> 04:53:58,240
record. I hate to do it, but can I have

4624
04:53:56,798 --> 04:53:59,840
your computer? We'll do this all over

4625
04:53:58,240 --> 04:54:00,638
again.

4626
04:53:59,840 --> 04:54:02,320
» Um

4627
04:54:00,638 --> 04:54:03,680
» In anytime, Mr. Hicks, can you come up

4628
04:54:02,320 --> 04:54:04,958
with that number real quick?

4629
04:54:03,680 --> 04:54:07,600
» Yeah,

4630
04:54:04,958 --> 04:54:08,798
» It would be I believe it would be and

4631
04:54:07,600 --> 04:54:10,798
correct me if I've got this wrong,

4632
04:54:08,798 --> 04:54:14,000
Commissioner Price. Okay. I believe what

4633
04:54:10,798 --> 04:54:16,798
the number we're looking for is 247,000

4634
04:54:14,000 --> 04:54:20,680
» Times the uh proposed rate of

4635
04:54:16,798 --> 04:54:20,680
» Why don't we put it at 350

4636
04:54:21,120 --> 04:54:23,920
» Because I think

4637
04:54:22,480 --> 04:54:24,638
» Because we're trying to use the numbers.

4638
04:54:23,920 --> 04:54:26,560
» Yeah, the median.

4639
04:54:24,638 --> 04:54:28,400
» But all this is wrong anyway. What we

4640
04:54:26,560 --> 04:54:30,480
have in front of us has been wrong. I

4641
04:54:28,400 --> 04:54:33,200
mean, it has all the wrong numbers. Here

4642
04:54:30,480 --> 04:54:35,600
he says 0.85

4643
04:54:33,200 --> 04:54:37,360
and the judge read into the record to

4644
04:54:35,600 --> 04:54:39,920
eight or something like that.

4645
04:54:37,360 --> 04:54:41,760
» We we shrunk some of the numbers because

4646
04:54:39,920 --> 04:54:43,200
» Who shrunk them and at when did they

4647
04:54:41,760 --> 04:54:45,280
shrunk them?

4648
04:54:43,200 --> 04:54:47,440
» I mean I'm looking at a paper and I'm

4649
04:54:45,280 --> 04:54:48,718
hearing something else. I mean can

4650
04:54:47,440 --> 04:54:51,280
someone tell me what's the new

4651
04:54:48,718 --> 04:54:52,878
information because this obviously

4652
04:54:51,280 --> 04:54:53,920
» What you all passed this morning is

4653
04:54:52,878 --> 04:54:55,040
wrong.

4654
04:54:53,920 --> 04:54:56,798
» Yeah. Now

4655
04:54:55,040 --> 04:54:58,638
» It doesn't even have the average value.

4656
04:54:56,798 --> 04:55:00,718
What what failed this morning are are

4657
04:54:58,638 --> 04:55:04,000
the correct numbers. Two of the things

4658
04:55:00,718 --> 04:55:06,320
that Daryl had in the Hold on. What

4659
04:55:04,000 --> 04:55:07,920
failed this morning are the correct

4660
04:55:06,320 --> 04:55:09,600
numbers.

4661
04:55:07,920 --> 04:55:11,760
What we're passing right now in the

4662
04:55:09,600 --> 04:55:12,480
reconsideration are the right numbers or

4663
04:55:11,760 --> 04:55:14,400
the new numbers.

4664
04:55:12,480 --> 04:55:17,920
» The same numbers. Same numbers. So, let

4665
04:55:14,400 --> 04:55:21,280
me read it again for purposes of so we

4666
04:55:17,920 --> 04:55:22,638
know what um

4667
04:55:21,280 --> 04:55:24,400
» Is before us. Yeah, we're voting.

4668
04:55:22,638 --> 04:55:25,520
» Wait, before you read that, Mr. Hicks,

4669
04:55:24,400 --> 04:55:32,000
could I get you start working on this

4670
04:55:25,520 --> 04:55:36,000
for me? uh 247 times the uh 28 per 100

4671
04:55:32,000 --> 04:55:38,638
vial ev valuation and also her request

4672
04:55:36,000 --> 04:55:40,160
of 350. Is that what you wanted?

4673
04:55:38,638 --> 04:55:41,680
» Yeah, 350. And

4674
04:55:40,160 --> 04:55:42,878
» In other words, what would be the what

4675
04:55:41,680 --> 04:55:44,560
would be the tax on that?

4676
04:55:42,878 --> 04:55:46,240
» And and you know what's interesting to

4677
04:55:44,560 --> 04:55:49,200
me, you know, everybody wants to talk

4678
04:55:46,240 --> 04:55:51,600
about homeowners. We know that if this

4679
04:55:49,200 --> 04:55:53,520
is calculated, this does not fall

4680
04:55:51,600 --> 04:55:56,638
strictly just on homeowners,

4681
04:55:53,520 --> 04:55:58,480
» Right? This falls on apartment renters

4682
04:55:56,638 --> 04:55:58,878
because they're gonna do pass through.

4683
04:55:58,480 --> 04:56:00,000
» So,

4684
04:55:58,878 --> 04:56:02,798
» Commercial real estate.

4685
04:56:00,000 --> 04:56:05,520
» Okay. So,

4686
04:56:02,798 --> 04:56:06,718
» Yeah, Mr. I see Mr. Mr. Mr. Hicks.

4687
04:56:05,520 --> 04:56:08,798
» Yeah, it's not a straightforward

4688
04:56:06,718 --> 04:56:11,520
calculation that we can, you know, just

4689
04:56:08,798 --> 04:56:14,160
come up with a

4690
04:56:11,520 --> 04:56:16,240
simple, you know, mathematical um this

4691
04:56:14,160 --> 04:56:18,160
takes some time. So you can you guys can

4692
04:56:16,240 --> 04:56:20,480
give us the the exact numbers that you

4693
04:56:18,160 --> 04:56:21,680
want and then we can

4694
04:56:20,480 --> 04:56:23,920
» Bring that back with

4695
04:56:21,680 --> 04:56:25,840
» And and I have to say and thank you Mr.

4696
04:56:23,920 --> 04:56:27,440
Auditor because I know you're right, Mr.

4697
04:56:25,840 --> 04:56:29,680
Hicks. This is not something that you

4698
04:56:27,440 --> 04:56:32,400
can put in the computer and it comes out

4699
04:56:29,680 --> 04:56:34,320
right away. But what I am really

4700
04:56:32,400 --> 04:56:35,920
bothered by is the fact that we have

4701
04:56:34,320 --> 04:56:38,080
different information right now and now

4702
04:56:35,920 --> 04:56:40,000
that there's a reconsideration is new

4703
04:56:38,080 --> 04:56:40,400
information with new numbers that really

4704
04:56:40,000 --> 04:56:42,560
bother

4705
04:56:40,400 --> 04:56:44,320
» The same numbers as this morning. Um,

4706
04:56:42,560 --> 04:56:45,760
it's not what you read and it's not what

4707
04:56:44,320 --> 04:56:47,680
I have here, judge.

4708
04:56:45,760 --> 04:56:50,320
» It is what I read this morning. It's the

4709
04:56:47,680 --> 04:56:52,638
same numbers. It's just we're the typos

4710
04:56:50,320 --> 04:56:53,920
were in the thing this morning. Like the

4711
04:56:52,638 --> 04:56:56,080
like instead of

4712
04:56:53,920 --> 04:56:57,040
» That's the way we make decisions of

4713
04:56:56,080 --> 04:56:58,320
considerable

4714
04:56:57,040 --> 04:57:01,040
» Typos. So,

4715
04:56:58,320 --> 04:57:03,360
» Exactly. Of considerable to our

4716
04:57:01,040 --> 04:57:04,560
residents and taxpayers. That's the way

4717
04:57:03,360 --> 04:57:05,120
we look. Very good.

4718
04:57:04,560 --> 04:57:07,440
» Okay.

4719
04:57:05,120 --> 04:57:08,958
» Can we can we get a clean copy of this?

4720
04:57:07,440 --> 04:57:10,718
And I know that it'll take a minute to

4721
04:57:08,958 --> 04:57:12,958
do. You want you want to take a five

4722
04:57:10,718 --> 04:57:14,080
minute break and we'll get a clean copy.

4723
04:57:12,958 --> 04:57:16,000
» I think

4724
04:57:14,080 --> 04:57:16,400
» That would probably be a worthwhile

4725
04:57:16,000 --> 04:57:18,480
thing.

4726
04:57:16,400 --> 04:57:21,280
» Updated numbers because this goes into

4727
04:57:18,480 --> 04:57:25,600
Mr. Ames TNT calculation. The numbers

4728
04:57:21,280 --> 04:57:27,920
that were calculated was the 0.259650

4729
04:57:25,600 --> 04:57:29,920
that's listed there. So if we need to

4730
04:57:27,920 --> 04:57:32,000
change that, we need to get all of that

4731
04:57:29,920 --> 04:57:32,718
to him so he can upload it into his

4732
04:57:32,000 --> 04:57:35,760
system.

4733
04:57:32,718 --> 04:57:37,600
» And we will. But she's asking for a

4734
04:57:35,760 --> 04:57:39,600
piece of paper and let's make five or

4735
04:57:37,600 --> 04:57:41,520
six of those or a bunch of them that

4736
04:57:39,600 --> 04:57:44,560
have the actual things that they're

4737
04:57:41,520 --> 04:57:45,920
going to be voting on. Not all of Mr.

4738
04:57:44,560 --> 04:57:48,400
Ames's numbers and all the

4739
04:57:45,920 --> 04:57:50,000
recalculations and how much it cost a

4740
04:57:48,400 --> 04:57:52,320
house. You can tell us anything you want

4741
04:57:50,000 --> 04:57:54,878
to tell us, even if it's a higher number

4742
04:57:52,320 --> 04:57:57,600
and wrong about that. She just wants to

4743
04:57:54,878 --> 04:57:59,280
see what am I actually voting on? What's

4744
04:57:57,600 --> 04:58:02,480
going to be in front of the voters for

4745
04:57:59,280 --> 04:58:06,000
them to decide if this goes forward?

4746
04:58:02,480 --> 04:58:08,320
» And right with the right calculations

4747
04:58:06,000 --> 04:58:10,160
and the exact amount of money that I'm

4748
04:58:08,320 --> 04:58:11,600
going to ask them to vote on. I think

4749
04:58:10,160 --> 04:58:12,878
that's just fair and square

4750
04:58:11,600 --> 04:58:14,798
» And the same thing I asked.

4751
04:58:12,878 --> 04:58:17,040
» Okay, let's take a five or 10 minute

4752
04:58:14,798 --> 04:58:19,600
break and let go to a computer and

4753
04:58:17,040 --> 04:58:20,080
somebody get this right. So she all of

4754
04:58:19,600 --> 04:58:21,840
us can

4755
04:58:20,080 --> 04:58:23,760
» Why don't we move forward with the rest

4756
04:58:21,840 --> 04:58:24,240
of the agenda while those calculations

4757
04:58:23,760 --> 04:58:25,040
are

4758
04:58:24,240 --> 04:58:26,638
» That's a good idea.

4759
04:58:25,040 --> 04:58:27,600
» That is a good idea. Yeah, that's a

4760
04:58:26,638 --> 04:58:28,798
great idea. I agree.

4761
04:58:27,600 --> 04:58:31,120
» Not taking a break right now.

4762
04:58:28,798 --> 04:58:33,440
» It's not possible. We may have to

4763
04:58:31,120 --> 04:58:34,958
reconsider in a longer time frame.

4764
04:58:33,440 --> 04:58:36,400
» Well,

4765
04:58:34,958 --> 04:58:38,958
correct, Commissioner Daniel.

4766
04:58:36,400 --> 04:58:41,958
» But the calculator is saying that's not

4767
04:58:38,958 --> 04:58:41,958
possible.

4768
04:58:43,840 --> 04:58:50,480
» Right.

4769
04:58:46,798 --> 04:58:54,040
» But he wants the right number.

4770
04:58:50,480 --> 04:58:54,040
» Then he doesn't get

4771
04:58:56,480 --> 04:59:00,160
» That was not right.

4772
04:58:58,560 --> 04:59:02,240
» It's

4773
04:59:00,160 --> 04:59:06,520
Hey, hey, we I told you when we left out

4774
04:59:02,240 --> 04:59:06,520
of here the house.

4775
04:59:13,120 --> 04:59:20,000
» Tim,

4776
04:59:15,680 --> 04:59:23,440
sorry, Mr. Hicks, if if we had have left

4777
04:59:20,000 --> 04:59:25,440
the taxes uh at the higher number and

4778
04:59:23,440 --> 04:59:28,080
not moved out the things that we found

4779
04:59:25,440 --> 04:59:30,000
that were savings and redundant, what

4780
04:59:28,080 --> 04:59:32,798
would that have been at whatever the

4781
04:59:30,000 --> 04:59:35,920
number was that ends in 650 on the

4782
04:59:32,798 --> 04:59:38,240
average homeowner?

4783
04:59:35,920 --> 04:59:40,000
» Won't be that much number on the the

4784
04:59:38,240 --> 04:59:43,520
average homeowner, but in total was

4785
04:59:40,000 --> 04:59:45,440
about 150.4 for a million dollars

4786
04:59:43,520 --> 04:59:46,638
» That it would raise

4787
04:59:45,440 --> 04:59:48,560
» Additional revenue.

4788
04:59:46,638 --> 04:59:49,920
» Okay, that was one question. But another

4789
04:59:48,560 --> 04:59:54,000
question was what is the average

4790
04:59:49,920 --> 04:59:55,280
homeowner would they pay? So since it

4791
04:59:54,000 --> 04:59:56,638
takes a while to figure that out, we

4792
04:59:55,280 --> 04:59:58,080
know the number is a little lower than

4793
04:59:56,638 --> 05:00:00,400
whatever you're about to tell us. What

4794
04:59:58,080 --> 05:00:01,520
is the number that for the average

4795
05:00:00,400 --> 05:00:03,280
homeowner?

4796
05:00:01,520 --> 05:00:06,320
» Uh that number I need to calculate.

4797
05:00:03,280 --> 05:00:09,280
» Oh, you never Okay. Okay. I'm sorry.

4798
05:00:06,320 --> 05:00:09,920
» So, but you did say 164 million.

4799
05:00:09,280 --> 05:00:11,520
» Yeah.

4800
05:00:09,920 --> 05:00:13,840
» 50.4. 4.

4801
05:00:11,520 --> 05:00:15,120
» Okay. 150 million

4802
05:00:13,840 --> 05:00:19,280
» Additional [clears throat] revenue at

4803
05:00:15,120 --> 05:00:19,760
the uh 0.259650.

4804
05:00:19,280 --> 05:00:22,480
» Okay.

4805
05:00:19,760 --> 05:00:24,798
» That that's what that potentially would

4806
05:00:22,480 --> 05:00:26,638
um bring in an additional.

4807
05:00:24,798 --> 05:00:27,600
» So that's the only number you have then.

4808
05:00:26,638 --> 05:00:29,200
» That's the only number.

4809
05:00:27,600 --> 05:00:32,718
» Okay. I misunderstood. I thought you had

4810
05:00:29,200 --> 05:00:35,680
some number about 249,000

4811
05:00:32,718 --> 05:00:38,400
value after something. Okay. So y'all

4812
05:00:35,680 --> 05:00:40,000
have all the numbers that he's got then.

4813
05:00:38,400 --> 05:00:43,760
Um,

4814
05:00:40,000 --> 05:00:47,920
» So we voted on the reconsideration

4815
05:00:43,760 --> 05:00:51,760
and we're gonna come back to that

4816
05:00:47,920 --> 05:00:53,680
um so that they can write

4817
05:00:51,760 --> 05:00:56,320
um

4818
05:00:53,680 --> 05:00:58,240
down what what

4819
05:00:56,320 --> 05:01:01,958
that is and everybody can see it as you

4820
05:00:58,240 --> 05:01:01,958
read into the record.

4821
05:01:02,638 --> 05:01:07,638
» Are you able to do that or do I need to

4822
05:01:04,240 --> 05:01:07,638
go do that?

4823
05:01:08,400 --> 05:01:12,400
Apologies, Jez. We didn't hear the

4824
05:01:10,080 --> 05:01:15,280
request. Can you say it one more time?

4825
05:01:12,400 --> 05:01:18,560
» Dr. Daniel, and I think it's a very fair

4826
05:01:15,280 --> 05:01:22,400
request, is saying, "Can I see on paper

4827
05:01:18,560 --> 05:01:25,400
what it is that is going on the ballot

4828
05:01:22,400 --> 05:01:25,400
and

4829
05:01:25,520 --> 05:01:29,840
I think that's fair for all of us,

4830
05:01:27,280 --> 05:01:32,638
right? Because I'm struggling reading."

4831
05:01:29,840 --> 05:01:34,718
» Well, no, no, that ain't Look, based on

4832
05:01:32,638 --> 05:01:37,120
the premise you laid out this morning, I

4833
05:01:34,718 --> 05:01:38,560
want to know two things. First of all,

4834
05:01:37,120 --> 05:01:41,200
we keep talking about homeowners. This

4835
05:01:38,560 --> 05:01:43,520
is this is everybody who lives, whether

4836
05:01:41,200 --> 05:01:47,520
it's going to be apartments or whatever,

4837
05:01:43,520 --> 05:01:49,920
but I want to know how this proposition

4838
05:01:47,520 --> 05:01:53,040
attracts business, commercial real

4839
05:01:49,920 --> 05:01:55,840
estate, hit the whole nine yards. All

4840
05:01:53,040 --> 05:01:58,560
right. It's a million half dollars just

4841
05:01:55,840 --> 05:02:01,680
on base calculation.

4842
05:01:58,560 --> 05:02:03,200
A million half dollars. And you're

4843
05:02:01,680 --> 05:02:06,240
saying

4844
05:02:03,200 --> 05:02:07,200
» Million big? No. No. It's 15. 50

4845
05:02:06,240 --> 05:02:07,600
meeting. I'm sorry.

4846
05:02:07,200 --> 05:02:09,280
» Okay.

4847
05:02:07,600 --> 05:02:11,760
» Yeah, cuz Yeah, cuz I you know, I was on

4848
05:02:09,280 --> 05:02:12,718
the 5050,

4849
05:02:11,760 --> 05:02:14,080
» You know, if you're going to do a

4850
05:02:12,718 --> 05:02:15,840
substitute,

4851
05:02:14,080 --> 05:02:19,440
» You know, since since you want to do

4852
05:02:15,840 --> 05:02:21,760
that, child care 50, homeless 50, and

4853
05:02:19,440 --> 05:02:25,440
public safety 50 since you want to play

4854
05:02:21,760 --> 05:02:27,040
the game. But my point is, you know, if

4855
05:02:25,440 --> 05:02:28,400
we go on down the road and do our core

4856
05:02:27,040 --> 05:02:29,280
responsibility, then we don't have to

4857
05:02:28,400 --> 05:02:32,320
worry about that.

4858
05:02:29,280 --> 05:02:35,360
» Okay. But since we're not on this right

4859
05:02:32,320 --> 05:02:38,080
now as they get the documents ready, can

4860
05:02:35,360 --> 05:02:41,200
we continue on for now with

4861
05:02:38,080 --> 05:02:44,240
» Yes, let's continue out of for now.

4862
05:02:41,200 --> 05:02:46,560
» So now before us are are court orders

4863
05:02:44,240 --> 05:02:50,400
three through

4864
05:02:46,560 --> 05:02:53,680
» 75 addendum 76 to 85 pulling 36 for

4865
05:02:50,400 --> 05:02:56,400
additional language. I'm pulling court

4866
05:02:53,680 --> 05:02:58,560
orders 12 38 and 39 for two weeks. Did I

4867
05:02:56,400 --> 05:03:01,360
say all that right? and and one more

4868
05:02:58,560 --> 05:03:03,120
pulling 85 for additional names from the

4869
05:03:01,360 --> 05:03:04,000
elections department.

4870
05:03:03,120 --> 05:03:06,160
» Okay.

4871
05:03:04,000 --> 05:03:07,280
» Yeah, but I got I got up

4872
05:03:06,160 --> 05:03:11,200
» But you just go through them

4873
05:03:07,280 --> 05:03:12,560
commissioner as we go into the into the

4874
05:03:11,200 --> 05:03:13,760
» Additional comments.

4875
05:03:12,560 --> 05:03:14,638
» You have to pull those.

4876
05:03:13,760 --> 05:03:16,400
» Well, what?

4877
05:03:14,638 --> 05:03:18,638
» Well, I don't know. You know what

4878
05:03:16,400 --> 05:03:20,638
y'all you make sure you ain't changed up

4879
05:03:18,638 --> 05:03:22,638
nothing. That's my point. Court orders.

4880
05:03:20,638 --> 05:03:25,680
I had court orders

4881
05:03:22,638 --> 05:03:27,120
» 2025. But we're going as as we go.

4882
05:03:25,680 --> 05:03:28,560
Commissioner for comments. You go

4883
05:03:27,120 --> 05:03:32,440
through your questions. That way we

4884
05:03:28,560 --> 05:03:32,440
don't have to pull them all

4885
05:03:32,798 --> 05:03:38,760
to 85. Amen.

4886
05:03:34,638 --> 05:03:38,760
» Yes. For additional language.

4887
05:03:41,920 --> 05:03:45,718
» It's a frontal lobotomy.

4888
05:03:46,320 --> 05:03:53,360
» Okay. Uh so now that's what's before us.

4889
05:03:49,600 --> 05:03:54,798
Uh the unpulled court orders. And do you

4890
05:03:53,360 --> 05:03:57,760
think you want to pull any or

4891
05:03:54,798 --> 05:03:59,360
» Commissioner? You want to talk about 20?

4892
05:03:57,760 --> 05:04:00,878
» I won't talk about 20.

4893
05:03:59,360 --> 05:04:04,000
» Right now is the time.

4894
05:04:00,878 --> 05:04:07,040
» Well, but there's a motion and I second.

4895
05:04:04,000 --> 05:04:07,840
» Okay. Go ahead. Uh, Commissioner Price

4896
05:04:07,040 --> 05:04:08,480
talked about 20.

4897
05:04:07,840 --> 05:04:13,120
» Okay.

4898
05:04:08,480 --> 05:04:16,798
» Uh, I talked to um, uh, Randall Miller

4899
05:04:13,120 --> 05:04:21,120
with regards to the concerns I had with

4900
05:04:16,798 --> 05:04:23,520
uh, with 20 this morning. I had a number

4901
05:04:21,120 --> 05:04:26,798
of u

4902
05:04:23,520 --> 05:04:30,480
concerns and I think for the record he's

4903
05:04:26,798 --> 05:04:34,878
going to that's the gardener consulting

4904
05:04:30,480 --> 05:04:37,280
contract with AI talks about phase one

4905
05:04:34,878 --> 05:04:39,760
phase two

4906
05:04:37,280 --> 05:04:41,840
and the total and the findings and I had

4907
05:04:39,760 --> 05:04:44,480
some concerns it apparently just came in

4908
05:04:41,840 --> 05:04:47,680
either yesterday but I'd already you

4909
05:04:44,480 --> 05:04:50,000
know pulled them down so need to clarify

4910
05:04:47,680 --> 05:04:53,200
the application

4911
05:04:50,000 --> 05:04:56,560
U with regards to the findings in place

4912
05:04:53,200 --> 05:04:58,080
one and replace the deemed accepted with

4913
05:04:56,560 --> 05:05:01,200
affirmative

4914
05:04:58,080 --> 05:05:03,200
written acceptance uh and require valid

4915
05:05:01,200 --> 05:05:05,680
purchase order before working on

4916
05:05:03,200 --> 05:05:08,240
invoicing. So this is a gardener

4917
05:05:05,680 --> 05:05:13,600
consulting. There was a lot of language.

4918
05:05:08,240 --> 05:05:15,520
It's my understanding that they have uh

4919
05:05:13,600 --> 05:05:17,840
adjusted the lane. They did,

4920
05:05:15,520 --> 05:05:21,520
Commissioner. Uh I we took your concerns

4921
05:05:17,840 --> 05:05:23,680
back to Gartner and they they did um uh

4922
05:05:21,520 --> 05:05:25,920
adjust the language. They gave us uh

4923
05:05:23,680 --> 05:05:27,840
additional interviews from phase one.

4924
05:05:25,920 --> 05:05:29,760
And let me just talk about Mr. Martin

4925
05:05:27,840 --> 05:05:31,520
and Mr. Reed directed me to

4926
05:05:29,760 --> 05:05:34,320
administratively move forward on a phase

4927
05:05:31,520 --> 05:05:36,560
one which is the basic discovery

4928
05:05:34,320 --> 05:05:39,040
uh the interviews and the document

4929
05:05:36,560 --> 05:05:41,040
production for Gartner. Now, this phase

4930
05:05:39,040 --> 05:05:43,760
two is for the court's consideration if

4931
05:05:41,040 --> 05:05:45,040
we want to utilize Gartner to move and

4932
05:05:43,760 --> 05:05:46,560
complete the AI policy.

4933
05:05:45,040 --> 05:05:48,160
» Well, it wasn't very expensive, right?

4934
05:05:46,560 --> 05:05:50,400
Is you had a concern with it or

4935
05:05:48,160 --> 05:05:52,480
» Well, yeah, [snorts] I you got but we

4936
05:05:50,400 --> 05:05:55,680
went through and and and re kind of

4937
05:05:52,480 --> 05:05:58,320
redesigned the whole ask and they came

4938
05:05:55,680 --> 05:06:00,878
back and responded and I still have some

4939
05:05:58,320 --> 05:06:02,560
issues. We we got for phase one we got

4940
05:06:00,878 --> 05:06:05,440
additional interviews and for phase two

4941
05:06:02,560 --> 05:06:08,560
they raised the uh meetings and the

4942
05:06:05,440 --> 05:06:10,958
stakeholder meetings from 8 to 15. Um

4943
05:06:08,560 --> 05:06:13,840
and we got a final deliverable that uh

4944
05:06:10,958 --> 05:06:15,200
the final ultimate deliverable is AI

4945
05:06:13,840 --> 05:06:17,120
policy ready for adoption by the

4946
05:06:15,200 --> 05:06:19,760
commissioner's court at the end of this.

4947
05:06:17,120 --> 05:06:20,958
» Okay. And the cost was only a few

4948
05:06:19,760 --> 05:06:24,160
hundred,000

4949
05:06:20,958 --> 05:06:26,320
» Couple hundred,000. Phase two is

4950
05:06:24,160 --> 05:06:28,878
» 96 thou $200,000

4951
05:06:26,320 --> 05:06:31,920
» 96 I believe phase one was 31

4952
05:06:28,878 --> 05:06:34,798
» Scope excludes detail you know AI

4953
05:06:31,920 --> 05:06:38,160
security control comprehensive privacy

4954
05:06:34,798 --> 05:06:41,760
programs data governance privacy and

4955
05:06:38,160 --> 05:06:44,160
policy design uh policy designs and that

4956
05:06:41,760 --> 05:06:47,440
the products would be you know

4957
05:06:44,160 --> 05:06:48,480
foundational rather than implementation

4958
05:06:47,440 --> 05:06:50,320
» What's the concern

4959
05:06:48,480 --> 05:06:52,320
» I just that's what I just told

4960
05:06:50,320 --> 05:06:52,958
» He understands So yeah, we've been

4961
05:06:52,320 --> 05:06:55,200
working this.

4962
05:06:52,958 --> 05:06:57,280
» So I spoke with Gartner and they they

4963
05:06:55,200 --> 05:06:58,638
tried to uh have us a right-sized

4964
05:06:57,280 --> 05:07:00,480
policy. So they're going to have us a

4965
05:06:58,638 --> 05:07:01,680
policy ready for adoption and some

4966
05:07:00,480 --> 05:07:03,520
guardrails, but we're also going to get

4967
05:07:01,680 --> 05:07:05,120
some additional advice on other policies

4968
05:07:03,520 --> 05:07:06,638
we may want to consider like security

4969
05:07:05,120 --> 05:07:08,638
policies and how it integrates into

4970
05:07:06,638 --> 05:07:10,000
privacy. But this is the recommendation

4971
05:07:08,638 --> 05:07:11,280
that they're recommending right now to

4972
05:07:10,000 --> 05:07:14,320
move forward with.

4973
05:07:11,280 --> 05:07:16,160
» So this is not the final price tag.

4974
05:07:14,320 --> 05:07:18,160
if we want to engage them in other

4975
05:07:16,160 --> 05:07:20,638
policies. But this ultimate deliverable

4976
05:07:18,160 --> 05:07:21,680
here is a AI policy ready for adoption

4977
05:07:20,638 --> 05:07:22,958
and code of ethics for the

4978
05:07:21,680 --> 05:07:24,718
commissioner's court to adopt.

4979
05:07:22,958 --> 05:07:27,280
» Okay, I got you. I'm good with that.

4980
05:07:24,718 --> 05:07:29,440
» So this step is complete right here.

4981
05:07:27,280 --> 05:07:30,638
» Yeah, phase one is complete. We I

4982
05:07:29,440 --> 05:07:32,560
completed that yesterday.

4983
05:07:30,638 --> 05:07:35,360
» You know, I keep telling you, look, we

4984
05:07:32,560 --> 05:07:37,280
we sat down with them. Well, we didn't

4985
05:07:35,360 --> 05:07:40,718
sit down with them. We sat down, my

4986
05:07:37,280 --> 05:07:42,718
staff sat down and did a whole redesign.

4987
05:07:40,718 --> 05:07:45,680
There was a lot of things left out of

4988
05:07:42,718 --> 05:07:49,280
when you when and and they have included

4989
05:07:45,680 --> 05:07:51,440
that, you know, in the policy now, but

4990
05:07:49,280 --> 05:07:54,958
but when when he tells me he got some

4991
05:07:51,440 --> 05:07:58,080
things yesterday versus what's going on

4992
05:07:54,958 --> 05:08:00,400
uh now that they have some other

4993
05:07:58,080 --> 05:08:02,160
considerations, that's that's what I'm

4994
05:08:00,400 --> 05:08:04,320
that's what I'm looking for.

4995
05:08:02,160 --> 05:08:05,520
» We concluded phase one uh yesterday,

4996
05:08:04,320 --> 05:08:07,440
Commissioner. We had a meeting with

4997
05:08:05,520 --> 05:08:08,638
Gartner. Uh should the court choose to

4998
05:08:07,440 --> 05:08:11,280
move forward, I have another meeting

4999
05:08:08,638 --> 05:08:13,280
scheduled with them on Thursday. Um as

5000
05:08:11,280 --> 05:08:15,200
to next steps and we will start

5001
05:08:13,280 --> 05:08:16,958
exchanging drafts. I've sent them all

5002
05:08:15,200 --> 05:08:20,160
the documents I've previously produced

5003
05:08:16,958 --> 05:08:22,320
to the court. Um and this is for the

5004
05:08:20,160 --> 05:08:23,920
course consideration. Uh I've seen a

5005
05:08:22,320 --> 05:08:25,360
draft of the preliminary report from

5006
05:08:23,920 --> 05:08:27,440
phase one. Hopefully they're hopefully

5007
05:08:25,360 --> 05:08:29,680
it's in my inbox when I go upstairs. Saw

5008
05:08:27,440 --> 05:08:32,320
it yesterday.

5009
05:08:29,680 --> 05:08:36,240
» So the post implementation needs to

5010
05:08:32,320 --> 05:08:37,840
manage this. That's that's really where

5011
05:08:36,240 --> 05:08:41,120
we're, you know, we're going to, you

5012
05:08:37,840 --> 05:08:42,958
know, get our get our heads dented.

5013
05:08:41,120 --> 05:08:45,200
» They're going to give us some advice on

5014
05:08:42,958 --> 05:08:46,798
and some guard rails, but this is a

5015
05:08:45,200 --> 05:08:48,560
baseline policy so we can move forward

5016
05:08:46,798 --> 05:08:51,040
with AI implementation across the

5017
05:08:48,560 --> 05:08:53,920
organization.

5018
05:08:51,040 --> 05:08:55,280
» You know, I [sighs]

5019
05:08:53,920 --> 05:08:58,718
let me tell you, my staff and I, we

5020
05:08:55,280 --> 05:09:01,280
spent almost, I guess, three or four

5021
05:08:58,718 --> 05:09:05,600
days, maybe longer, before we handed it

5022
05:09:01,280 --> 05:09:08,240
back to uh Mr. Miller and Mr. Aid and

5023
05:09:05,600 --> 05:09:09,760
then Gardner agreed that there's a lot

5024
05:09:08,240 --> 05:09:12,000
of stuff they left out. I'm talking

5025
05:09:09,760 --> 05:09:14,080
about phase one. Then we went down and

5026
05:09:12,000 --> 05:09:16,240
did a total redesign. See, that's that's

5027
05:09:14,080 --> 05:09:19,680
the problem around here, you know, we

5028
05:09:16,240 --> 05:09:22,080
keep, you know, barreling down roads and

5029
05:09:19,680 --> 05:09:25,360
we really have no clue. And then we look

5030
05:09:22,080 --> 05:09:27,600
back and say, uhoh, you know, and this

5031
05:09:25,360 --> 05:09:30,120
this post implementation

5032
05:09:27,600 --> 05:09:31,440
uh gives me some concern. And uh

5033
05:09:30,120 --> 05:09:33,760
[snorts] and as he said, he just

5034
05:09:31,440 --> 05:09:37,440
finished the deal on phase one on

5035
05:09:33,760 --> 05:09:40,240
yesterday. So I but it's but it was

5036
05:09:37,440 --> 05:09:43,218
already out there and so we started

5037
05:09:40,240 --> 05:09:46,958
going through it.

5038
05:09:43,218 --> 05:09:48,638
[sighs] The uh so I I still have some

5039
05:09:46,958 --> 05:09:51,040
issues.

5040
05:09:48,638 --> 05:09:53,360
So phase one is the only thing and then

5041
05:09:51,040 --> 05:09:55,840
I still say there's some issues on phase

5042
05:09:53,360 --> 05:09:57,840
two and I'll wait to see what the the

5043
05:09:55,840 --> 05:10:00,480
post implementation

5044
05:09:57,840 --> 05:10:02,798
uh needs are going to be to manage it

5045
05:10:00,480 --> 05:10:06,520
because it's it according to my staff

5046
05:10:02,798 --> 05:10:06,520
it's going to be a lot.

5047
05:10:08,000 --> 05:10:12,240
We're just, you know, we're just

5048
05:10:10,160 --> 05:10:14,560
» So, the recommendation might be take it

5049
05:10:12,240 --> 05:10:15,760
a step at a time and we can say no when

5050
05:10:14,560 --> 05:10:17,040
we come to

5051
05:10:15,760 --> 05:10:18,878
» Well, they they've already doing that.

5052
05:10:17,040 --> 05:10:20,878
They they did phase one.

5053
05:10:18,878 --> 05:10:22,480
» Well, when did you first present this to

5054
05:10:20,878 --> 05:10:25,600
us

5055
05:10:22,480 --> 05:10:26,718
the gardener piece? I my staff

5056
05:10:25,600 --> 05:10:27,520
» When did we first

5057
05:10:26,718 --> 05:10:28,560
» Months ago.

5058
05:10:27,520 --> 05:10:30,560
» Months ago. June.

5059
05:10:28,560 --> 05:10:32,718
» The the original AI draft I think was

5060
05:10:30,560 --> 05:10:34,718
presented in March. That's when we

5061
05:10:32,718 --> 05:10:37,280
received the direction to get uh

5062
05:10:34,718 --> 05:10:40,000
consulting services on AI policy. We

5063
05:10:37,280 --> 05:10:40,400
briefed that to you guys June. May and

5064
05:10:40,000 --> 05:10:41,680
June.

5065
05:10:40,400 --> 05:10:45,440
» May and June.

5066
05:10:41,680 --> 05:10:46,000
» Okay. And we responded immediately.

5067
05:10:45,440 --> 05:10:46,480
» Yes.

5068
05:10:46,000 --> 05:10:47,840
» Correct.

5069
05:10:46,480 --> 05:10:49,360
» Within a couple of days. All of you did.

5070
05:10:47,840 --> 05:10:50,240
» Within a couple of days. That's what I'm

5071
05:10:49,360 --> 05:10:52,798
talking about. Yes.

5072
05:10:50,240 --> 05:10:54,638
» Here we are, August.

5073
05:10:52,798 --> 05:10:57,280
And he's saying he just finished first

5074
05:10:54,638 --> 05:11:00,480
implementation phase yesterday. Finished

5075
05:10:57,280 --> 05:11:02,718
it up. They did the redesign. pushed it

5076
05:11:00,480 --> 05:11:06,480
back over. We had, you know, a few more

5077
05:11:02,718 --> 05:11:09,040
comments and then yesterday and and then

5078
05:11:06,480 --> 05:11:13,200
like I said, we have no clue what this

5079
05:11:09,040 --> 05:11:17,120
this this this implementation cost

5080
05:11:13,200 --> 05:11:21,760
is going to be even though they say

5081
05:11:17,120 --> 05:11:25,280
phase two adds basically $200,000.

5082
05:11:21,760 --> 05:11:27,680
» But let me ask you, Mr. Miller phase one

5083
05:11:25,280 --> 05:11:30,718
was pretty much to lay out the

5084
05:11:27,680 --> 05:11:33,520
foundation of what we want to do in

5085
05:11:30,718 --> 05:11:34,480
Dallas County when it comes uh to AI

5086
05:11:33,520 --> 05:11:35,760
security. Right.

5087
05:11:34,480 --> 05:11:38,320
» That is correct, Dr. Garcia.

5088
05:11:35,760 --> 05:11:40,000
» Phase two is the implementation on what

5089
05:11:38,320 --> 05:11:42,718
actually we're going to do about

5090
05:11:40,000 --> 05:11:45,600
preventing any kind of issues with AI.

5091
05:11:42,718 --> 05:11:48,480
We're starting to see it all over around

5092
05:11:45,600 --> 05:11:51,840
in briefings, in presentations, in

5093
05:11:48,480 --> 05:11:54,638
emails, in text. And what I want my

5094
05:11:51,840 --> 05:11:57,600
employees to know is what is what they

5095
05:11:54,638 --> 05:12:00,080
can do and what they cannot do. Where

5096
05:11:57,600 --> 05:12:02,958
can they can just shoot something from

5097
05:12:00,080 --> 05:12:07,760
AI which might not have any sensible

5098
05:12:02,958 --> 05:12:11,600
data and when they cannot use county

5099
05:12:07,760 --> 05:12:14,240
data for something that is not county

5100
05:12:11,600 --> 05:12:16,000
related. Right. Yes. This is safety and

5101
05:12:14,240 --> 05:12:18,638
security. That's why we're approving

5102
05:12:16,000 --> 05:12:22,160
phase 2 today. And that's when it went

5103
05:12:18,638 --> 05:12:23,040
from 31,000 to 196,000.

5104
05:12:22,160 --> 05:12:25,680
» Yes.

5105
05:12:23,040 --> 05:12:27,520
» Because implementation requires more

5106
05:12:25,680 --> 05:12:28,000
than a briefing.

5107
05:12:27,520 --> 05:12:30,878
» Yes.

5108
05:12:28,000 --> 05:12:33,760
» Implementation requires what exactly am

5109
05:12:30,878 --> 05:12:36,000
I paying for the 196,000?

5110
05:12:33,760 --> 05:12:38,560
» The ultimate deliverables, Dr. Garcia,

5111
05:12:36,000 --> 05:12:40,480
are they're they're going to update our

5112
05:12:38,560 --> 05:12:42,000
AI policy and code of ethics. We're also

5113
05:12:40,480 --> 05:12:44,718
going to get a compliance alignment

5114
05:12:42,000 --> 05:12:47,280
matrix with all applicable security and

5115
05:12:44,718 --> 05:12:50,080
privacy laws. I've already sent them my

5116
05:12:47,280 --> 05:12:51,920
legislative notes. We uh we're going to

5117
05:12:50,080 --> 05:12:53,920
get a foundational AI governance

5118
05:12:51,920 --> 05:12:56,718
framework, guidelines on core guard

5119
05:12:53,920 --> 05:12:58,560
rails and controls and the initial risk

5120
05:12:56,718 --> 05:13:00,718
criteria and evaluation process. How do

5121
05:12:58,560 --> 05:13:02,240
we as an organization evaluate the risk?

5122
05:13:00,718 --> 05:13:04,080
» Okay. How would we have known any of

5123
05:13:02,240 --> 05:13:05,680
that from

5124
05:13:04,080 --> 05:13:08,080
» We won't know it unless this pass

5125
05:13:05,680 --> 05:13:10,400
» Because my staff and I we we dug down in

5126
05:13:08,080 --> 05:13:12,160
it and we spent time with it and that's

5127
05:13:10,400 --> 05:13:15,520
the difference around here.

5128
05:13:12,160 --> 05:13:18,000
» I would not have known those things.

5129
05:13:15,520 --> 05:13:21,280
the step by step all the all the pieces

5130
05:13:18,000 --> 05:13:23,120
that are that are included here.

5131
05:13:21,280 --> 05:13:26,240
» It's just

5132
05:13:23,120 --> 05:13:28,958
» Well I think that this is the logical

5133
05:13:26,240 --> 05:13:32,798
evolution of what we've been doing and

5134
05:13:28,958 --> 05:13:35,040
we want to do this before um this can

5135
05:13:32,798 --> 05:13:37,760
become dangerous and before the state

5136
05:13:35,040 --> 05:13:41,878
comes out with different guidelines and

5137
05:13:37,760 --> 05:13:41,878
they beat us to the cake.

5138
05:13:43,120 --> 05:13:48,560
» Okay. So with with that said though,

5139
05:13:45,680 --> 05:13:50,400
we're just voting on the $200,000 today.

5140
05:13:48,560 --> 05:13:54,320
» It's $196.

5141
05:13:50,400 --> 05:13:56,240
» Okay. So any any desire to pull that or

5142
05:13:54,320 --> 05:13:59,120
just keep it in with the uncontroversial

5143
05:13:56,240 --> 05:14:02,000
court orders that were considered?

5144
05:13:59,120 --> 05:14:03,600
» You know, I you know, as I said, I have

5145
05:14:02,000 --> 05:14:05,680
no comfort level because if you've done

5146
05:14:03,600 --> 05:14:06,400
the first, I don't I'm pull I'm gonna

5147
05:14:05,680 --> 05:14:08,000
pull it.

5148
05:14:06,400 --> 05:14:11,520
» Okay. So that's going to be pulled until

5149
05:14:08,000 --> 05:14:13,280
next week at the earliest, right? What's

5150
05:14:11,520 --> 05:14:14,718
And that's 20. We're still on these

5151
05:14:13,280 --> 05:14:17,360
non-pulled court orders.

5152
05:14:14,718 --> 05:14:22,000
» Correct. 25 and 26. Commissioner Price,

5153
05:14:17,360 --> 05:14:24,240
these are the allocations for um NIPA

5154
05:14:22,000 --> 05:14:25,440
Howard Bound, the bridge, Austin

5155
05:14:24,240 --> 05:14:28,320
shelter.

5156
05:14:25,440 --> 05:14:30,320
» Yeah. 25. Hold on.

5157
05:14:28,320 --> 05:14:34,160
» 68,866

5158
05:14:30,320 --> 05:14:37,160
for the state um intervention

5159
05:14:34,160 --> 05:14:37,160
program.

5160
05:14:37,200 --> 05:14:42,240
And I look into these items,

5161
05:14:39,520 --> 05:14:44,320
Commissioner Price, and I think this is

5162
05:14:42,240 --> 05:14:46,160
money that we're already working on with

5163
05:14:44,320 --> 05:14:49,200
all these organizations.

5164
05:14:46,160 --> 05:14:50,240
» Hold on, let me do

5165
05:14:49,200 --> 05:14:52,240
» That's between

5166
05:14:50,240 --> 05:14:53,600
» It's a total of 240,000

5167
05:14:52,240 --> 05:14:55,040
» Austin Street,

5168
05:14:53,600 --> 05:14:56,638
» Correct?

5169
05:14:55,040 --> 05:14:59,040
» Yeah, there's not much money here, but

5170
05:14:56,638 --> 05:15:00,320
it's parsed out partners.

5171
05:14:59,040 --> 05:15:00,638
» It adds up.

5172
05:15:00,320 --> 05:15:02,000
» Yeah.

5173
05:15:00,638 --> 05:15:05,560
» What was your concern, Commissioner

5174
05:15:02,000 --> 05:15:05,560
Price, about this?

5175
05:15:06,160 --> 05:15:12,240
This has um that um we needed to confirm

5176
05:15:10,160 --> 05:15:15,280
the written authority retroactive cost

5177
05:15:12,240 --> 05:15:18,160
and report services and payments today.

5178
05:15:15,280 --> 05:15:21,040
Remove City Square and identify the

5179
05:15:18,160 --> 05:15:25,040
current operating model. You know the

5180
05:15:21,040 --> 05:15:28,240
document Austin Street as a subreient or

5181
05:15:25,040 --> 05:15:31,360
service provider and reconcile the grant

5182
05:15:28,240 --> 05:15:36,000
identifiers and governing conditions. We

5183
05:15:31,360 --> 05:15:39,360
need to complete the the the title uh

5184
05:15:36,000 --> 05:15:42,560
six uh sieges documentation and tie the

5185
05:15:39,360 --> 05:15:45,440
reimbursement to rates utilization and

5186
05:15:42,560 --> 05:15:47,280
measurable deliverable.

5187
05:15:45,440 --> 05:15:50,280
» That's not that that none of that's in

5188
05:15:47,280 --> 05:15:50,280
here.

5189
05:15:50,560 --> 05:15:55,520
None of it's in here.

5190
05:15:53,280 --> 05:15:58,958
» But this is the fuse program and the

5191
05:15:55,520 --> 05:15:59,600
crisis intervention program.

5192
05:15:58,958 --> 05:16:01,360
Right.

5193
05:15:59,600 --> 05:16:03,360
» Right. State. This is the office of the

5194
05:16:01,360 --> 05:16:06,878
governor. State crisis.

5195
05:16:03,360 --> 05:16:10,320
» It's a fuse program partner.

5196
05:16:06,878 --> 05:16:13,200
» Yeah. But I just just told you the

5197
05:16:10,320 --> 05:16:15,920
correction before we execute it just to

5198
05:16:13,200 --> 05:16:18,320
confirm the written authority

5199
05:16:15,920 --> 05:16:23,280
for retroactive cost and report services

5200
05:16:18,320 --> 05:16:25,280
and payments to date. Remove City Square

5201
05:16:23,280 --> 05:16:27,120
and identify the current operating

5202
05:16:25,280 --> 05:16:28,798
model.

5203
05:16:27,120 --> 05:16:32,400
Document

5204
05:16:28,798 --> 05:16:35,840
Austin Street as a subreient or service

5205
05:16:32,400 --> 05:16:37,840
provider and reconcile the grant

5206
05:16:35,840 --> 05:16:38,240
identifiers and governing condition. And

5207
05:16:37,840 --> 05:16:39,600
of course,

5208
05:16:38,240 --> 05:16:41,840
» So you're talking about document

5209
05:16:39,600 --> 05:16:44,000
cleanups that need to have city. Yeah.

5210
05:16:41,840 --> 05:16:46,160
So he's not talking about like he's

5211
05:16:44,000 --> 05:16:48,080
opposed to the deals. He's saying we

5212
05:16:46,160 --> 05:16:49,440
have document cleanups here. City square

5213
05:16:48,080 --> 05:16:51,760
is no longer a functioning.

5214
05:16:49,440 --> 05:16:54,240
» Correct. But it's not here. I didn't see

5215
05:16:51,760 --> 05:16:57,680
the square. I'm telling you that it

5216
05:16:54,240 --> 05:17:00,798
» I mean and for what NIPBA does on this

5217
05:16:57,680 --> 05:17:03,600
you know uh we gain a care coordinator

5218
05:17:00,798 --> 05:17:08,240
at the living room so we need these

5219
05:17:03,600 --> 05:17:10,718
funds for the ASC portion which is 6322

5220
05:17:08,240 --> 05:17:14,080
over a year

5221
05:17:10,718 --> 05:17:20,160
NIDBA has provided the gap funding for

5222
05:17:14,080 --> 05:17:22,798
fuse in previous items. So I mean guys

5223
05:17:20,160 --> 05:17:25,280
um this is very important for all of us.

5224
05:17:22,798 --> 05:17:26,718
» I I agree but city square city square

5225
05:17:25,280 --> 05:17:28,080
went away in 2024.

5226
05:17:26,718 --> 05:17:28,480
» Yes. Yes. But they're not here

5227
05:17:28,080 --> 05:17:30,000
commission.

5228
05:17:28,480 --> 05:17:32,320
» They're not on that sheet but they may

5229
05:17:30,000 --> 05:17:33,680
but they are

5230
05:17:32,320 --> 05:17:34,240
» Well if I don't see it I don't know

5231
05:17:33,680 --> 05:17:36,160
where it is.

5232
05:17:34,240 --> 05:17:37,120
» But my people are reading it all. See

5233
05:17:36,160 --> 05:17:39,280
that's what I'm telling you.

5234
05:17:37,120 --> 05:17:41,760
» I read it all too. And see

5235
05:17:39,280 --> 05:17:42,958
» They're reading it all. City squares in

5236
05:17:41,760 --> 05:17:45,040
here. Anybody want to bet

5237
05:17:42,958 --> 05:17:46,958
» In the old contract not in the new?

5238
05:17:45,040 --> 05:17:47,520
» Okay. Yeah. No. No. That's my point. And

5239
05:17:46,958 --> 05:17:49,200
I'm just

5240
05:17:47,520 --> 05:17:52,400
» So I think what what he's saying, Dr.

5241
05:17:49,200 --> 05:17:54,400
Garcia, is um you know, of course he had

5242
05:17:52,400 --> 05:17:56,718
the court order, but behind that are a

5243
05:17:54,400 --> 05:17:58,958
whole bunch of documents, right? Right.

5244
05:17:56,718 --> 05:18:00,240
» And they are there, but they're not on

5245
05:17:58,958 --> 05:18:02,638
the new one.

5246
05:18:00,240 --> 05:18:04,560
» Right. And and so maybe he ran that

5247
05:18:02,638 --> 05:18:05,280
through AI or something and found city

5248
05:18:04,560 --> 05:18:05,600
square.

5249
05:18:05,280 --> 05:18:08,798
» Okay.

5250
05:18:05,600 --> 05:18:10,480
» And so we need to get I did. I ran it

5251
05:18:08,798 --> 05:18:13,524
through African intelligence. It's

5252
05:18:10,480 --> 05:18:13,524
called re [laughter]

5253
05:18:14,320 --> 05:18:17,280
» Commissioner price staff can look at

5254
05:18:15,600 --> 05:18:18,798
that to make sure city square is not in

5255
05:18:17,280 --> 05:18:21,280
there. If we could continue with the

5256
05:18:18,798 --> 05:18:22,400
corridor though I think we could okay I

5257
05:18:21,280 --> 05:18:25,680
think we're all good with that.

5258
05:18:22,400 --> 05:18:27,840
» Good. Okay. So that passes 25.

5259
05:18:25,680 --> 05:18:29,440
» No no no we we none of it passes yet

5260
05:18:27,840 --> 05:18:31,600
because we're doing them all together.

5261
05:18:29,440 --> 05:18:34,320
Remember this these quarters.

5262
05:18:31,600 --> 05:18:36,240
» All right. Fine.

5263
05:18:34,320 --> 05:18:37,200
» Okay. Anything else before we vote on

5264
05:18:36,240 --> 05:18:40,958
these?

5265
05:18:37,200 --> 05:18:42,958
» Well you got court order. You still got

5266
05:18:40,958 --> 05:18:43,600
Gordon, you still got court order

5267
05:18:42,958 --> 05:18:46,400
» 33

5268
05:18:43,600 --> 05:18:48,878
» 33 and that's that big thought for

5269
05:18:46,400 --> 05:18:52,798
mental health, drug and rehabilitation

5270
05:18:48,878 --> 05:18:55,120
related services not to exceed 109

5271
05:18:52,798 --> 05:18:59,360
uh,000

5272
05:18:55,120 --> 05:19:02,000
uh it require uh with the purchasing and

5273
05:18:59,360 --> 05:19:05,840
the uh civil division classification as

5274
05:19:02,000 --> 05:19:10,000
a chapter 59 donation grant or purchase

5275
05:19:05,840 --> 05:19:13,200
of services. So if if using if it's a

5276
05:19:10,000 --> 05:19:16,160
procurement using purchasing or you're

5277
05:19:13,200 --> 05:19:19,680
identifying a valid exemption if a

5278
05:19:16,160 --> 05:19:23,120
donation grant document

5279
05:19:19,680 --> 05:19:25,440
statutory eligibility and public purpose

5280
05:19:23,120 --> 05:19:27,360
controls.

5281
05:19:25,440 --> 05:19:31,040
So where's the line I bud measurable

5282
05:19:27,360 --> 05:19:34,240
outcomes resolution of retroactive cost

5283
05:19:31,040 --> 05:19:38,400
again form 1295

5284
05:19:34,240 --> 05:19:42,400
title uh six documents and risk approved

5285
05:19:38,400 --> 05:19:44,878
insurance none of that's in here

5286
05:19:42,400 --> 05:19:47,280
again

5287
05:19:44,878 --> 05:19:50,280
I know it's just reading

5288
05:19:47,280 --> 05:19:50,280
it

5289
05:19:51,840 --> 05:19:56,718
» Is it does it have to be in

5290
05:19:55,040 --> 05:19:59,718
Yes.

5291
05:19:56,718 --> 05:19:59,718
» Yes.

5292
05:19:59,760 --> 05:20:04,400
» Can it be added in?

5293
05:20:03,120 --> 05:20:07,120
» Commissioner Price, while staff

5294
05:20:04,400 --> 05:20:08,480
researches this item, I we I think we

5295
05:20:07,120 --> 05:20:09,840
can pull this for two weeks if the

5296
05:20:08,480 --> 05:20:10,400
district attorney's office does not

5297
05:20:09,840 --> 05:20:11,840
object.

5298
05:20:10,400 --> 05:20:12,160
» You need to pull it for two weeks. We we

5299
05:20:11,840 --> 05:20:13,760
can get

5300
05:20:12,160 --> 05:20:15,040
» For one week, excuse me, for for next

5301
05:20:13,760 --> 05:20:15,920
week and we'll place this on the next

5302
05:20:15,040 --> 05:20:18,000
agenda. So,

5303
05:20:15,920 --> 05:20:20,638
» And we'll have the exemption if there is

5304
05:20:18,000 --> 05:20:22,000
one applied.

5305
05:20:20,638 --> 05:20:24,638
» Yeah, I can give it to

5306
05:20:22,000 --> 05:20:27,040
» Okay, great. All right. So that gets us

5307
05:20:24,638 --> 05:20:29,520
to 34.

5308
05:20:27,040 --> 05:20:32,400
» 34 is a second amended attorney fee

5309
05:20:29,520 --> 05:20:33,920
contract for Carrington Coleman Slowman

5310
05:20:32,400 --> 05:20:37,760
Bmanthal

5311
05:20:33,920 --> 05:20:40,560
you know and again um you know correct

5312
05:20:37,760 --> 05:20:42,878
the prior amendment date. It provides

5313
05:20:40,560 --> 05:20:45,600
spending to date balance litigation

5314
05:20:42,878 --> 05:20:48,400
stage and forecast through the next

5315
05:20:45,600 --> 05:20:51,680
major milestone. the required notice

5316
05:20:48,400 --> 05:20:54,718
approximately 75 and 90% of the cap and

5317
05:20:51,680 --> 05:20:58,320
it continues the matter specific invoice

5318
05:20:54,718 --> 05:21:01,200
review. This is this is that uh this is

5319
05:20:58,320 --> 05:21:04,718
100,000 to 160,000

5320
05:21:01,200 --> 05:21:07,600
uh pieces before us. They did they did

5321
05:21:04,718 --> 05:21:10,798
the hourly range rates they went well

5322
05:21:07,600 --> 05:21:13,840
they broke it down 856 for partner 288

5323
05:21:10,798 --> 05:21:15,840
for parallegal staff and delegation all

5324
05:21:13,840 --> 05:21:17,760
of that. Were there unforeseen things

5325
05:21:15,840 --> 05:21:18,798
that happened in this case?

5326
05:21:17,760 --> 05:21:21,440
» Come again.

5327
05:21:18,798 --> 05:21:23,760
» Were there unforeseen

5328
05:21:21,440 --> 05:21:26,878
happenings in this particular case on

5329
05:21:23,760 --> 05:21:27,760
the need for the increase in attorney

5330
05:21:26,878 --> 05:21:30,760
fees?

5331
05:21:27,760 --> 05:21:30,760
» Barbara,

5332
05:21:31,120 --> 05:21:35,680
» Why' this happen? How did this happen?

5333
05:21:33,600 --> 05:21:37,520
» Increase in the attorney fees

5334
05:21:35,680 --> 05:21:40,000
» In the case because the case is still

5335
05:21:37,520 --> 05:21:42,718
pending support. So, I can't get into

5336
05:21:40,000 --> 05:21:44,718
the legal advice as to the actual

5337
05:21:42,718 --> 05:21:48,040
» Lawsuit, but

5338
05:21:44,718 --> 05:21:48,040
pass that

5339
05:21:51,680 --> 05:21:56,958
wait a few days or go and pass that now.

5340
05:21:54,638 --> 05:21:58,718
» So this is essentially this is the Can I

5341
05:21:56,958 --> 05:21:59,200
even say what the case is, Barbara?

5342
05:21:58,718 --> 05:22:01,600
» Sure.

5343
05:21:59,200 --> 05:22:02,160
» Okay. So this is the class action case,

5344
05:22:01,600 --> 05:22:02,560
correct?

5345
05:22:02,160 --> 05:22:06,000
» Yes.

5346
05:22:02,560 --> 05:22:09,520
» Correct. And so we gave them a a number

5347
05:22:06,000 --> 05:22:11,840
to start and hope, you know, you always

5348
05:22:09,520 --> 05:22:13,520
hope that'll be it, but this being very

5349
05:22:11,840 --> 05:22:16,400
expensive litigation, they've blown

5350
05:22:13,520 --> 05:22:18,160
through that number. And so if we want

5351
05:22:16,400 --> 05:22:19,680
them to continue working, we need to

5352
05:22:18,160 --> 05:22:21,600
authorize some more money.

5353
05:22:19,680 --> 05:22:25,200
» Correct. 60,000 more.

5354
05:22:21,600 --> 05:22:28,958
» Yeah. Yeah. 60,000

5355
05:22:25,200 --> 05:22:31,680
» From 100,000 to 160.

5356
05:22:28,958 --> 05:22:33,280
And at some point in time, again about

5357
05:22:31,680 --> 05:22:36,080
the same kind of plan we talked about

5358
05:22:33,280 --> 05:22:40,560
earlier, require notice of approximately

5359
05:22:36,080 --> 05:22:42,560
75 to 90% of the cap and and continue

5360
05:22:40,560 --> 05:22:43,040
matter specific

5361
05:22:42,560 --> 05:22:44,320
review.

5362
05:22:43,040 --> 05:22:45,680
» Yeah, you see what he's saying? Instead

5363
05:22:44,320 --> 05:22:46,798
of coming to us and saying, "Oh, blew

5364
05:22:45,680 --> 05:22:48,878
through the cap. Give me some more

5365
05:22:46,798 --> 05:22:51,520
money." He's saying, "When you get to 75

5366
05:22:48,878 --> 05:22:52,400
to 90% of the cap, let us know."

5367
05:22:51,520 --> 05:22:54,400
» Understood.

5368
05:22:52,400 --> 05:22:55,280
» That's a good good idea.

5369
05:22:54,400 --> 05:22:56,080
Um

5370
05:22:55,280 --> 05:22:59,280

5371
05:22:56,080 --> 05:23:02,240
» 46 is the interphase facilitation

5372
05:22:59,280 --> 05:23:06,240
agreement with lab core for electronic

5373
05:23:02,240 --> 05:23:08,638
laboratory results transmission uh to uh

5374
05:23:06,240 --> 05:23:10,480
Dallas County Health and Human Services.

5375
05:23:08,638 --> 05:23:12,958
You know, we need to remove or disclose

5376
05:23:10,480 --> 05:23:16,560
the county reimbursement obligation.

5377
05:23:12,958 --> 05:23:20,638
Obtain an update cleanses form naming

5378
05:23:16,560 --> 05:23:24,000
lab core as a sole payer and conforming

5379
05:23:20,638 --> 05:23:27,440
cannot invoice Dallas County. You know,

5380
05:23:24,000 --> 05:23:31,760
attach a cost responsibility matrix and

5381
05:23:27,440 --> 05:23:35,200
require it security, privacy,

5382
05:23:31,760 --> 05:23:38,718
uh, laboratory, epic, clin, and risk

5383
05:23:35,200 --> 05:23:42,718
approval. complete any required

5384
05:23:38,718 --> 05:23:49,280
my data security documents and documents

5385
05:23:42,718 --> 05:23:51,600
for a star um anti- kickback compliance.

5386
05:23:49,280 --> 05:23:55,520
So that that whole interphase

5387
05:23:51,600 --> 05:23:58,560
facilitation agreement with lab core uh

5388
05:23:55,520 --> 05:24:00,718
leaves uh a lot to be desired.

5389
05:23:58,560 --> 05:24:05,120
» Why Commissioner Price? because it says

5390
05:24:00,718 --> 05:24:10,000
here is a secure electronic so that

5391
05:24:05,120 --> 05:24:13,200
information can be shared from the lab

5392
05:24:10,000 --> 05:24:16,080
to the epic EHR

5393
05:24:13,200 --> 05:24:19,520
so isn't this a better way of doing it

5394
05:24:16,080 --> 05:24:21,440
Dr. One is a secure link of transmitting

5395
05:24:19,520 --> 05:24:22,480
directly rather than by facts or

5396
05:24:21,440 --> 05:24:24,000
computer or email.

5397
05:24:22,480 --> 05:24:27,200
» Exactly. And we have been working on

5398
05:24:24,000 --> 05:24:30,878
this connection for like two years

5399
05:24:27,200 --> 05:24:33,520
because now without that we just get

5400
05:24:30,878 --> 05:24:35,440
like sometimes scanned data into the

5401
05:24:33,520 --> 05:24:38,400
electronic health record. We can't see

5402
05:24:35,440 --> 05:24:40,638
the information. This is just part of

5403
05:24:38,400 --> 05:24:44,560
the lab information.

5404
05:24:40,638 --> 05:24:47,680
electronic transpose the uh remove or

5405
05:24:44,560 --> 05:24:48,878
disclose the county reimbursement

5406
05:24:47,680 --> 05:24:50,560
obligation.

5407
05:24:48,878 --> 05:24:53,200
» Uh so this was again we've been working

5408
05:24:50,560 --> 05:24:56,560
with them labcore because our the

5409
05:24:53,200 --> 05:24:58,958
horizon and uh clinicist that does our

5410
05:24:56,560 --> 05:25:01,120
electronic lab reporting we've been

5411
05:24:58,958 --> 05:25:03,600
trying to make have labcore have a

5412
05:25:01,120 --> 05:25:06,000
direct connection to them so we can get

5413
05:25:03,600 --> 05:25:08,320
when we send out some of the labs we can

5414
05:25:06,000 --> 05:25:09,440
get the information into our electronic

5415
05:25:08,320 --> 05:25:10,320
health record.

5416
05:25:09,440 --> 05:25:11,600
» Okay.

5417
05:25:10,320 --> 05:25:15,360
said that they would pay

5418
05:25:11,600 --> 05:25:18,638
» Is basically again we're we're asking

5419
05:25:15,360 --> 05:25:21,360
that Clint's be uh form naming LabCore

5420
05:25:18,638 --> 05:25:24,000
as the sole payer and confirming that

5421
05:25:21,360 --> 05:25:25,200
Clintes cannot invoice Dallas County

5422
05:25:24,000 --> 05:25:28,320
that's not in here.

5423
05:25:25,200 --> 05:25:31,200
» Um this was an agreement that we're act

5424
05:25:28,320 --> 05:25:33,200
you know they had it was uncertain and

5425
05:25:31,200 --> 05:25:35,600
LabCore has said they would pay for the

5426
05:25:33,200 --> 05:25:37,680
interface. We have a contract with

5427
05:25:35,600 --> 05:25:38,958
LabCore so it's a good thing for us.

5428
05:25:37,680 --> 05:25:41,120
This is a good thing we're not having to

5429
05:25:38,958 --> 05:25:44,080
pay or y just throw some stuff in front

5430
05:25:41,120 --> 05:25:46,400
of us and you know I'm just I'm just

5431
05:25:44,080 --> 05:25:47,760
staff and I spend a lot of time we're

5432
05:25:46,400 --> 05:25:51,760
following this stuff

5433
05:25:47,760 --> 05:25:54,000
» And it was a questionable uh again even

5434
05:25:51,760 --> 05:25:56,878
as we're making this agreement if it's

5435
05:25:54,000 --> 05:25:59,120
between lab core and clinicis why we're

5436
05:25:56,878 --> 05:26:01,200
actually in the middle of this but um

5437
05:25:59,120 --> 05:26:03,120
this is what we've had to work through

5438
05:26:01,200 --> 05:26:05,440
so we can get the connection again what

5439
05:26:03,120 --> 05:26:08,320
we want to do is get the connection when

5440
05:26:05,440 --> 05:26:11,120
we send out labs to labcore so they can

5441
05:26:08,320 --> 05:26:12,798
send it back electronically and it can

5442
05:26:11,120 --> 05:26:14,400
get into our electronic health record

5443
05:26:12,798 --> 05:26:16,958
system. That's all we're trying to do.

5444
05:26:14,400 --> 05:26:19,520
That interface between Lab Core and our

5445
05:26:16,958 --> 05:26:19,760
electronic health uh the lab system with

5446
05:26:19,520 --> 05:26:21,120
me.

5447
05:26:19,760 --> 05:26:22,480
» That's the interface. And so they're

5448
05:26:21,120 --> 05:26:24,320
we're not even paying for that. They're

5449
05:26:22,480 --> 05:26:26,798
going to pay for the connection and we

5450
05:26:24,320 --> 05:26:28,798
just get the electronic data into our

5451
05:26:26,798 --> 05:26:29,520
» Have you read what you generated to us

5452
05:26:28,798 --> 05:26:30,160
though?

5453
05:26:29,520 --> 05:26:33,040
» Pardon?

5454
05:26:30,160 --> 05:26:35,280
» Did you read what you generated to us?

5455
05:26:33,040 --> 05:26:36,560
» Yes. Again, it was a confusing situation

5456
05:26:35,280 --> 05:26:37,760
that we've been having

5457
05:26:36,560 --> 05:26:40,878
» Stuff. Yep.

5458
05:26:37,760 --> 05:26:42,480
» Yeah, that's my point. And so when we we

5459
05:26:40,878 --> 05:26:45,520
read it, then what are we supposed to

5460
05:26:42,480 --> 05:26:47,760
do? Just say, "Well, it's confusing, but

5461
05:26:45,520 --> 05:26:50,320
what what

5462
05:26:47,760 --> 05:26:52,160
» Um again, it's and if it needs

5463
05:26:50,320 --> 05:26:54,718
explanation, I'm happy to provide it."

5464
05:26:52,160 --> 05:26:57,120
What it simply is is it's our lab

5465
05:26:54,718 --> 05:26:59,680
information system and because we have

5466
05:26:57,120 --> 05:27:01,680
an external lab uh provider that

5467
05:26:59,680 --> 05:27:04,080
sometimes we can't do all of our labs

5468
05:27:01,680 --> 05:27:04,878
internally. We just want them to connect

5469
05:27:04,080 --> 05:27:07,120
it and

5470
05:27:04,878 --> 05:27:10,798
» Just just put it just put it right. Make

5471
05:27:07,120 --> 05:27:13,120
it clear and concise. If you're out of

5472
05:27:10,798 --> 05:27:16,480
the loop, you're out of the loop. I

5473
05:27:13,120 --> 05:27:19,360
mean, in terms of clinices and lab core,

5474
05:27:16,480 --> 05:27:21,440
just I'm just trying to, you know, just

5475
05:27:19,360 --> 05:27:23,840
just

5476
05:27:21,440 --> 05:27:25,200
Yeah, if you'll give them the that sheet

5477
05:27:23,840 --> 05:27:26,558
and then they can work on those

5478
05:27:25,200 --> 05:27:28,320
documents.

5479
05:27:26,558 --> 05:27:28,798
» Okay.

5480
05:27:28,320 --> 05:27:31,600
» All right.

5481
05:27:28,798 --> 05:27:36,080
» But is the trans the transfer the

5482
05:27:31,600 --> 05:27:40,320
transference from lab core an entity to

5483
05:27:36,080 --> 05:27:42,798
a clinic directly secure on the time and

5484
05:27:40,320 --> 05:27:43,360
we're not paying but one time cost of

5485
05:27:42,798 --> 05:27:46,558
33.

5486
05:27:43,360 --> 05:27:49,040
» But the briefing document does not say

5487
05:27:46,558 --> 05:27:52,160
no cost to Dallas County.

5488
05:27:49,040 --> 05:27:54,878
» No. No. It says $36,900

5489
05:27:52,160 --> 05:27:58,480
as reflected in the attached quote note

5490
05:27:54,878 --> 05:28:01,360
and it's right there and it's the just

5491
05:27:58,480 --> 05:28:02,558
you know Dr. Juan just say it's not our

5492
05:28:01,360 --> 05:28:04,320
cause.

5493
05:28:02,558 --> 05:28:04,798
» You know that they will be paying for

5494
05:28:04,320 --> 05:28:07,680
it.

5495
05:28:04,798 --> 05:28:09,200
» No fiscal impact to us is what begard

5496
05:28:07,680 --> 05:28:11,280
» There's no fiscal impact to Dallas

5497
05:28:09,200 --> 05:28:12,558
County associated with the agreement.

5498
05:28:11,280 --> 05:28:12,798
That's not what the briefing document

5499
05:28:12,558 --> 05:28:14,958
says.

5500
05:28:12,798 --> 05:28:17,680
» He said is that the the interface

5501
05:28:14,958 --> 05:28:20,558
between Clinus and Labcore would be a

5502
05:28:17,680 --> 05:28:22,558
onetime cost of $36,900.

5503
05:28:20,558 --> 05:28:25,440
Uh that's what Clint has made between

5504
05:28:22,558 --> 05:28:27,920
them. Labcore will be responsible and

5505
05:28:25,440 --> 05:28:29,120
they've agreed to pay for that.

5506
05:28:27,920 --> 05:28:30,798
» I got it.

5507
05:28:29,120 --> 05:28:31,840
» And there's no cost to Dallas County.

5508
05:28:30,798 --> 05:28:33,200
» No cost to Dallas County.

5509
05:28:31,840 --> 05:28:36,558
» But it doesn't say that.

5510
05:28:33,200 --> 05:28:38,160
» Well, it said um no fiscal impact to

5511
05:28:36,558 --> 05:28:40,240
Dallas. Yeah, I know what it says, but

5512
05:28:38,160 --> 05:28:41,600
I'm telling you in in the detail I'm

5513
05:28:40,240 --> 05:28:44,240
looking at it.

5514
05:28:41,600 --> 05:28:46,160
» And there was again some uncertainty for

5515
05:28:44,240 --> 05:28:49,200
a while because they were trying to get

5516
05:28:46,160 --> 05:28:50,558
the bid and it kept it's so Anyway,

5517
05:28:49,200 --> 05:28:51,200
we're we're glad that they're willing to

5518
05:28:50,558 --> 05:28:53,200
pay for it.

5519
05:28:51,200 --> 05:28:56,400
» Yeah, that's right. Just let the

5520
05:28:53,200 --> 05:28:58,878
document say, you know, say that and

5521
05:28:56,400 --> 05:29:01,120
okay, that it's it's not there, but

5522
05:28:58,878 --> 05:29:04,240
okay. your your explanation helped a lot

5523
05:29:01,120 --> 05:29:07,200
in being being able to understand

5524
05:29:04,240 --> 05:29:08,958
» The written word versus reality.

5525
05:29:07,200 --> 05:29:12,160
» Yeah. And we were working with their

5526
05:29:08,958 --> 05:29:12,958
lawyers also on trying to get this thing

5527
05:29:12,160 --> 05:29:14,718
» A lawyer.

5528
05:29:12,958 --> 05:29:15,600
» Yeah.

5529
05:29:14,718 --> 05:29:18,000
» Sorry.

5530
05:29:15,600 --> 05:29:20,958
» Thank you.

5531
05:29:18,000 --> 05:29:23,440
» Thank you.

5532
05:29:20,958 --> 05:29:25,440
» That's that's my point exactly.

5533
05:29:23,440 --> 05:29:26,958
» Well, I mean question

5534
05:29:25,440 --> 05:29:29,760
» Coming back to this one. I have no

5535
05:29:26,958 --> 05:29:33,120
problems with it. Which is this one?

5536
05:29:29,760 --> 05:29:36,240
» The one that judge that um

5537
05:29:33,120 --> 05:29:37,440
» Dr. Hang already did the uh court order

5538
05:29:36,240 --> 05:29:42,240
46.

5539
05:29:37,440 --> 05:29:45,680
» I'm on I'm on I'm on 52 55 but okay. But

5540
05:29:42,240 --> 05:29:47,120
long as as as

5541
05:29:45,680 --> 05:29:49,920
we understand that there's no cost.

5542
05:29:47,120 --> 05:29:54,718
That's not what it says. It's 52 through

5543
05:29:49,920 --> 05:29:57,520
55. This is uh the locks on uh

5544
05:29:54,718 --> 05:29:58,798
distribution community projects. We just

5545
05:29:57,520 --> 05:30:02,400
talked about it

5546
05:29:58,798 --> 05:30:06,638
» This morning. Uh talks about money. The

5547
05:30:02,400 --> 05:30:10,240
the problem is obtain one on there

5548
05:30:06,638 --> 05:30:11,760

classification

5550
05:30:11,760 --> 05:30:19,440
confirming a bonafide subawward

5551
05:30:16,240 --> 05:30:21,600
and no fragmentation of a county

5552
05:30:19,440 --> 05:30:24,160
procurement.

5553
05:30:21,600 --> 05:30:27,200
We need to review the combined amount

5554
05:30:24,160 --> 05:30:30,400
original scoring year one performance

5555
05:30:27,200 --> 05:30:34,400
and the entity specific

5556
05:30:30,400 --> 05:30:37,440
scopes budget dates and certification.

5557
05:30:34,400 --> 05:30:40,558
Correct the performance periods entities

5558
05:30:37,440 --> 05:30:44,718
under title six exhibits and chapter

5559
05:30:40,558 --> 05:30:48,680
2252 language before execution.

5560
05:30:44,718 --> 05:30:48,680
This is 52 through 55.

5561
05:30:51,600 --> 05:30:58,480
These are four related

5562
05:30:54,958 --> 05:31:01,360
year two awards cumulatively $100,000

5563
05:30:58,480 --> 05:31:03,104
$999,994

5564
05:31:01,360 --> 05:31:06,000
and are set and are set at

5565
05:31:03,104 --> 05:31:07,760
[clears throat] approximately um 25,000.

5566
05:31:06,000 --> 05:31:10,718
The RSA

5567
05:31:07,760 --> 05:31:13,680
states that multiple subreipients were

5568
05:31:10,718 --> 05:31:16,240
intended, but purchasing and grants

5569
05:31:13,680 --> 05:31:19,520
should document that the structure

5570
05:31:16,240 --> 05:31:22,480
reflects bonafide federal subawwards

5571
05:31:19,520 --> 05:31:25,440
rather than fragmentation of county

5572
05:31:22,480 --> 05:31:28,638
procurement

5573
05:31:25,440 --> 05:31:31,760
52 through 55

5574
05:31:28,638 --> 05:31:34,400
» And those are all related to the

5575
05:31:31,760 --> 05:31:36,240
» Well. Well, I'm you know

5576
05:31:34,400 --> 05:31:37,680
» The distribution and we talked about it

5577
05:31:36,240 --> 05:31:39,760
this morning.

5578
05:31:37,680 --> 05:31:41,680
» We tal we talked about the them

5579
05:31:39,760 --> 05:31:44,558
distributing this morning. This is a

5580
05:31:41,680 --> 05:31:46,798
$100,000 B but I'm just telling you when

5581
05:31:44,558 --> 05:31:50,160
we go behind it and start pulling

5582
05:31:46,798 --> 05:31:54,320
pulling it down. We talk about discovery

5583
05:31:50,160 --> 05:31:56,638
plays 25. This breaks I broke it down to

5584
05:31:54,320 --> 05:31:58,958
all of the different different ones but

5585
05:31:56,638 --> 05:32:01,040
there are some issues when it comes to

5586
05:31:58,958 --> 05:32:04,320
county procurement on this

5587
05:32:01,040 --> 05:32:06,958
» To procurement. Why to procurement?

5588
05:32:04,320 --> 05:32:09,680
» Because the purchasing grants

5589
05:32:06,958 --> 05:32:12,480
classification confirming bonafide

5590
05:32:09,680 --> 05:32:15,600
subawwards and no fragmentation of

5591
05:32:12,480 --> 05:32:19,120
county procurement. We review the the

5592
05:32:15,600 --> 05:32:22,878
amounts and the uh combined amount

5593
05:32:19,120 --> 05:32:24,798
original scoring year one year one

5594
05:32:22,878 --> 05:32:28,080
performance

5595
05:32:24,798 --> 05:32:30,558
and um entity specific scopes budgets

5596
05:32:28,080 --> 05:32:32,638
and dates and certifications. So we just

5597
05:32:30,558 --> 05:32:38,520
need to correct the performance periods,

5598
05:32:32,638 --> 05:32:38,520
entity names and under title six.

5599
05:32:40,558 --> 05:32:46,000
» I mean the these are uh renewals. These

5600
05:32:44,000 --> 05:32:48,558
are year two of contracts. I'm not sure

5601
05:32:46,000 --> 05:32:51,120
if AI spit that out or something. Uh

5602
05:32:48,558 --> 05:32:52,240
» It does say Dr. H that is it second

5603
05:32:51,120 --> 05:32:53,840
year.

5604
05:32:52,240 --> 05:32:54,638
» So we already approved it the first

5605
05:32:53,840 --> 05:32:56,480
year, right?

5606
05:32:54,638 --> 05:32:59,040
» This is the second year commission. So,

5607
05:32:56,480 --> 05:33:00,080
so, so first year you asleep and second

5608
05:32:59,040 --> 05:33:02,240
year you caught it.

5609
05:33:00,080 --> 05:33:04,080
» No, second year you know you continue

5610
05:33:02,240 --> 05:33:08,480
it. I mean we t we hear this morning

5611
05:33:04,080 --> 05:33:10,638
that this the the medic the nuxon is

5612
05:33:08,480 --> 05:33:13,040
running out like hot bread.

5613
05:33:10,638 --> 05:33:13,440
» I I I get that. I get that. I'm I'm just

5614
05:33:13,040 --> 05:33:15,040
telling you.

5615
05:33:13,440 --> 05:33:16,480
» And the amount of money is not higher.

5616
05:33:15,040 --> 05:33:19,200
It's the same.

5617
05:33:16,480 --> 05:33:21,200
» It's $100,000

5618
05:33:19,200 --> 05:33:23,440
» Which was more or less what we had last

5619
05:33:21,200 --> 05:33:25,840
time. So

5620
05:33:23,440 --> 05:33:29,280
I don't know what

5621
05:33:25,840 --> 05:33:31,360
we're discussing here.

5622
05:33:29,280 --> 05:33:32,798
» Each of the contracts are under 25,000.

5623
05:33:31,360 --> 05:33:36,400
They're the different organizations.

5624
05:33:32,798 --> 05:33:39,840
This is year two of a renewal.

5625
05:33:36,400 --> 05:33:42,638
But under 25, the collective is is 99.

5626
05:33:39,840 --> 05:33:45,040
Anything over 50,000 is counted by

5627
05:33:42,638 --> 05:33:47,520
procurement. But did you break it down

5628
05:33:45,040 --> 05:33:48,798
because that's what I'm asking.

5629
05:33:47,520 --> 05:33:50,718
» Well, they're to different

5630
05:33:48,798 --> 05:33:53,360
organizations,

5631
05:33:50,718 --> 05:33:55,440
» But it's all coming to

5632
05:33:53,360 --> 05:33:57,120
Dallas County.

5633
05:33:55,440 --> 05:33:59,200
And then we're distributing it.

5634
05:33:57,120 --> 05:34:00,798
Procurement policy says our

5635
05:33:59,200 --> 05:34:02,240
» It we're giving it to four different

5636
05:34:00,798 --> 05:34:03,520
organizations. I get it.

5637
05:34:02,240 --> 05:34:05,440
» It's our second year.

5638
05:34:03,520 --> 05:34:08,080
» You're giving it to them, but you're

5639
05:34:05,440 --> 05:34:11,440
procuring it. You're procuring it.

5640
05:34:08,080 --> 05:34:14,160
You're procuring over $50,000.

5641
05:34:11,440 --> 05:34:17,360
You're procuring it. The policy says

5642
05:34:14,160 --> 05:34:20,000
over $50,000. My point is is that you

5643
05:34:17,360 --> 05:34:21,280
can break it down any way you want to.

5644
05:34:20,000 --> 05:34:23,520
That's what I'm saying. And are you

5645
05:34:21,280 --> 05:34:26,400
fragmenting and going around county

5646
05:34:23,520 --> 05:34:29,280
policy? Dr. Garcia's point, just because

5647
05:34:26,400 --> 05:34:33,718
didn't I didn't catch it before, I'm I'm

5648
05:34:29,280 --> 05:34:33,718
catching it now. It's a $99,000

5649
05:34:34,080 --> 05:34:40,520
buy.

5650
05:34:36,400 --> 05:34:40,520
That's over $50,000

5651
05:34:40,958 --> 05:34:43,958
procurement.

5652
05:34:44,160 --> 05:34:48,000
But I guess the question you're trying

5653
05:34:45,520 --> 05:34:49,840
to make is is it due to

5654
05:34:48,000 --> 05:34:51,120
» To avoiding

5655
05:34:49,840 --> 05:34:54,080
» That's my point.

5656
05:34:51,120 --> 05:34:56,240
» The uh $50,000 C.

5657
05:34:54,080 --> 05:35:00,958
» Mr. Fresh, can you jump in this one?

5658
05:34:56,240 --> 05:35:04,000
Because I mean, if it's a continuation,

5659
05:35:00,958 --> 05:35:05,920
it has to go to procurement

5660
05:35:04,000 --> 05:35:10,320
» And it's the budget's been approved by

5661
05:35:05,920 --> 05:35:10,480
our granter. Um

5662
05:35:10,320 --> 05:35:12,080
I

5663
05:35:10,480 --> 05:35:13,600
» Think we need I would need to look at

5664
05:35:12,080 --> 05:35:16,558
this before. before we had a discussion

5665
05:35:13,600 --> 05:35:19,920
publicly. So I don't look at this. This

5666
05:35:16,558 --> 05:35:21,680
is aou which is used sometimes

5667
05:35:19,920 --> 05:35:24,798
» Memorandum of understanding that is

5668
05:35:21,680 --> 05:35:27,520
dated for one year ago. The question is

5669
05:35:24,798 --> 05:35:29,120
do we have to go to procurement if it's

5670
05:35:27,520 --> 05:35:31,520
a higher amount of money but it's a

5671
05:35:29,120 --> 05:35:32,400
continuation with different partners.

5672
05:35:31,520 --> 05:35:33,440
That's it.

5673
05:35:32,400 --> 05:35:35,040
» Typically wouldn't go through

5674
05:35:33,440 --> 05:35:37,120
procurement on the second year of a

5675
05:35:35,040 --> 05:35:39,680
contract that was approved by the board

5676
05:35:37,120 --> 05:35:42,558
because it's the annual. If we pass it

5677
05:35:39,680 --> 05:35:44,958
as a continuation from an original MOU,

5678
05:35:42,558 --> 05:35:47,040
do we My question to you is do we need

5679
05:35:44,958 --> 05:35:49,200
to procure it? That's it.

5680
05:35:47,040 --> 05:35:51,120
» I mean, it's getting the NLX zone out to

5681
05:35:49,200 --> 05:35:53,360
these community partners,

5682
05:35:51,120 --> 05:35:55,520
» Less than 5,000 to each one.

5683
05:35:53,360 --> 05:35:58,718
» I get I get all that, Dr. Wong. I'm

5684
05:35:55,520 --> 05:36:00,320
putting it on the record. It's a $99,000

5685
05:35:58,718 --> 05:36:03,520
procurement.

5686
05:36:00,320 --> 05:36:06,958
Period. If you put it in 10,000

5687
05:36:03,520 --> 05:36:10,160
increments or 25, thou that's you can do

5688
05:36:06,958 --> 05:36:13,520
that. Anything over 50,000 procurement

5689
05:36:10,160 --> 05:36:14,000
says you go back out.

5690
05:36:13,520 --> 05:36:16,240
» Okay.

5691
05:36:14,000 --> 05:36:18,080
» So, Mr. Frost, any concerns with this or

5692
05:36:16,240 --> 05:36:20,638
should we pull it for a week or what do

5693
05:36:18,080 --> 05:36:22,558
we want to do here?

5694
05:36:20,638 --> 05:36:24,080
» I would rather pull it for a week if

5695
05:36:22,558 --> 05:36:25,440
that's okay, Dr. W. We could talk about

5696
05:36:24,080 --> 05:36:26,878
it at the end. It's been approved by

5697
05:36:25,440 --> 05:36:28,240
civil so I feel comfortable they've

5698
05:36:26,878 --> 05:36:30,240
looked at this.

5699
05:36:28,240 --> 05:36:31,680
» They would ask those questions. But I if

5700
05:36:30,240 --> 05:36:33,360
you want my opinion, I need to spend

5701
05:36:31,680 --> 05:36:34,958
some time to to look at this before I

5702
05:36:33,360 --> 05:36:37,280
off the cuff give you an opinion.

5703
05:36:34,958 --> 05:36:40,080
» And Dr. for long. I assume that this

5704
05:36:37,280 --> 05:36:42,400
isn't going to delay the Noxalone

5705
05:36:40,080 --> 05:36:43,360
getting out, right? We're talking six

5706
05:36:42,400 --> 05:36:45,520
days.

5707
05:36:43,360 --> 05:36:47,920
» Yeah, if it's one week, I assume that's

5708
05:36:45,520 --> 05:36:49,680
fine. I mean, again, it's effort to get

5709
05:36:47,920 --> 05:36:51,840
these out to the community. These are

5710
05:36:49,680 --> 05:36:54,400
small organizations in the community to

5711
05:36:51,840 --> 05:36:56,080
provide the community services.

5712
05:36:54,400 --> 05:36:58,080
So,

5713
05:36:56,080 --> 05:36:59,840
whatever you would like to do.

5714
05:36:58,080 --> 05:37:00,638
» Well, I mean, that's what I'm asking

5715
05:36:59,840 --> 05:37:02,878
you.

5716
05:37:00,638 --> 05:37:05,600
» Yeah. I'm not sure if they're if they've

5717
05:37:02,878 --> 05:37:07,760
used up all the nlloxxone and it'll be a

5718
05:37:05,600 --> 05:37:11,120
delay for a week. I don't know.

5719
05:37:07,760 --> 05:37:13,520
» Well, that doesn't thrill me because

5720
05:37:11,120 --> 05:37:16,638
somebody might need that and die

5721
05:37:13,520 --> 05:37:18,718
otherwise. So,

5722
05:37:16,638 --> 05:37:23,040
can you find out real fast if if

5723
05:37:18,718 --> 05:37:24,480
everybody's completely out of knoxone?

5724
05:37:23,040 --> 05:37:27,200
» Well, we heard from one of them that

5725
05:37:24,480 --> 05:37:31,400
they're already out.

5726
05:37:27,200 --> 05:37:31,400
» That's our own internal organization.

5727
05:37:32,080 --> 05:37:36,480
So something we did where we just

5728
05:37:34,000 --> 05:37:38,320
» What's the impact of that pardon?

5729
05:37:36,480 --> 05:37:39,600
» What's the impact of that? Is it life

5730
05:37:38,320 --> 05:37:41,840
and death? Is

5731
05:37:39,600 --> 05:37:44,080
» Well I mean you know that's it is used

5732
05:37:41,840 --> 05:37:46,878
in life and death situations. I don't

5733
05:37:44,080 --> 05:37:47,520
know if they run out and then

5734
05:37:46,878 --> 05:37:49,520
» Yeah,

5735
05:37:47,520 --> 05:37:51,600
» You know, I mean, I think we heard some

5736
05:37:49,520 --> 05:37:55,120
partners say that they have a problem

5737
05:37:51,600 --> 05:37:58,120
continuing to get the

5738
05:37:55,120 --> 05:37:58,120
» Again,

5739
05:38:01,600 --> 05:38:06,160
but we can't move it forward today,

5740
05:38:03,280 --> 05:38:07,520
right?

5741
05:38:06,160 --> 05:38:09,280
» So, we don't really have much of an

5742
05:38:07,520 --> 05:38:11,520
option,

5743
05:38:09,280 --> 05:38:13,840
» Right? Because it cannot be moved

5744
05:38:11,520 --> 05:38:15,600
forward today.

5745
05:38:13,840 --> 05:38:17,520
It states in the background the whereas

5746
05:38:15,600 --> 05:38:21,200
is that there's

5747
05:38:17,520 --> 05:38:24,558
it says approved and authorized through

5748
05:38:21,200 --> 05:38:26,878
section 121 and subchapter E of chapter

5749
05:38:24,558 --> 05:38:28,320
43 of the Texas health and safety code

5750
05:38:26,878 --> 05:38:30,480
in the standing orders of the state of

5751
05:38:28,320 --> 05:38:33,760
Texas for the distribution of a lock

5752
05:38:30,480 --> 05:38:35,200
zone that may be the reason commissioner

5753
05:38:33,760 --> 05:38:37,360
I'm just reading the back the whereases

5754
05:38:35,200 --> 05:38:39,600
in the background it states this is in

5755
05:38:37,360 --> 05:38:42,160
compliance with Texas health and safety

5756
05:38:39,600 --> 05:38:43,600
code and standing orders of the state of

5757
05:38:42,160 --> 05:38:45,520
Texas for the distribution of this

5758
05:38:43,600 --> 05:38:46,080
product. So maybe that's an exhibit a a

5759
05:38:45,520 --> 05:38:48,480
a

5760
05:38:46,080 --> 05:38:51,040
» So you are are all I need from you. Are

5761
05:38:48,480 --> 05:38:53,440
you telling me it's exempt from the

5762
05:38:51,040 --> 05:38:54,000
» Background? I have faith in our civil de

5763
05:38:53,440 --> 05:38:56,558
office.

5764
05:38:54,000 --> 05:38:58,638
» Are you telling me it's exempt from the

5765
05:38:56,558 --> 05:39:00,080
procurement process because it's over

5766
05:38:58,638 --> 05:39:01,680
$50,000?

5767
05:39:00,080 --> 05:39:03,360
» I'm saying the way it's written, it

5768
05:39:01,680 --> 05:39:06,320
appears to be in compliance with

5769
05:39:03,360 --> 05:39:08,400
statutes. Yes.

5770
05:39:06,320 --> 05:39:11,120
» So you can just separate it out and that

5771
05:39:08,400 --> 05:39:13,360
therefore you can go around 50,000.

5772
05:39:11,120 --> 05:39:15,280
Okay. just putting it all on.

5773
05:39:13,360 --> 05:39:15,840
» The projects are paused now until new

5774
05:39:15,280 --> 05:39:16,718
contracts.

5775
05:39:15,840 --> 05:39:18,958
» Beg pardon?

5776
05:39:16,718 --> 05:39:21,440
» The projects are paused until new

5777
05:39:18,958 --> 05:39:24,080
contracts.

5778
05:39:21,440 --> 05:39:26,320
» Okay. So, if if if we're good on and you

5779
05:39:24,080 --> 05:39:29,040
know, I want to

5780
05:39:26,320 --> 05:39:31,920
whatever we can do to both allay

5781
05:39:29,040 --> 05:39:35,680
Commissioner Price's concerns, but also

5782
05:39:31,920 --> 05:39:37,920
put Noxalone in those those vending

5783
05:39:35,680 --> 05:39:40,400
machines as quickly as possible because

5784
05:39:37,920 --> 05:39:42,160
it literally is a life or death, you

5785
05:39:40,400 --> 05:39:45,760
know, situation.

5786
05:39:42,160 --> 05:39:48,160
For many people, if someone has an

5787
05:39:45,760 --> 05:39:51,040
opioid or heroin overdose and there's no

5788
05:39:48,160 --> 05:39:54,000
knock there,

5789
05:39:51,040 --> 05:39:56,000
um,

5790
05:39:54,000 --> 05:39:58,638
so we good to what are we doing? We're

5791
05:39:56,000 --> 05:39:59,760
going to let it go. And

5792
05:39:58,638 --> 05:40:02,000
» Do we have an option?

5793
05:39:59,760 --> 05:40:02,400
» I I I've put what I needed to on the

5794
05:40:02,000 --> 05:40:04,080
record.

5795
05:40:02,400 --> 05:40:05,520
» He's put it on the record. So that's

5796
05:40:04,080 --> 05:40:10,680
that's not getting pulled right now,

5797
05:40:05,520 --> 05:40:10,680
apparently. So what's next? 5if

5798
05:40:10,958 --> 05:40:13,760
52 through 55.

5799
05:40:13,040 --> 05:40:14,718
» Yeah. 52.

5800
05:40:13,760 --> 05:40:16,000
» That was that was

5801
05:40:14,718 --> 05:40:20,558
» That's what we just And

5802
05:40:16,000 --> 05:40:23,200
» No, he asked clerks. He asked but 58 is

5803
05:40:20,558 --> 05:40:27,760
the uh

5804
05:40:23,200 --> 05:40:30,480
the uh TD HCA notification of intent to

05:40:27,760 --> 05:40:32,000
contract weatherization assistance

5806
05:40:30,480 --> 05:40:35,840
program.

5807
05:40:32,000 --> 05:40:38,958
This is where $798,000

5808
05:40:35,840 --> 05:40:41,040
is an estimate and prohibits uh

5809
05:40:38,958 --> 05:40:44,000
expenditures or commitments until the

5810
05:40:41,040 --> 05:40:46,798
executed contract require the final

5811
05:40:44,000 --> 05:40:49,920
contract and budget to return to court.

5812
05:40:46,798 --> 05:40:52,958
Uh this this this has a narrative talks

5813
05:40:49,920 --> 05:40:56,558
about other professional fees and all of

5814
05:40:52,958 --> 05:40:59,040
that but the procurement again status of

5815
05:40:56,558 --> 05:41:01,600
weatherization contract and the project

5816
05:40:59,040 --> 05:41:06,520
number for fund 46

05:41:01,600 --> 05:41:06,520
600 are not provided.

5818
05:41:07,280 --> 05:41:11,840
The procurement status of weatherization

5819
05:41:10,000 --> 05:41:19,000
contractors

5820
05:41:11,840 --> 05:41:19,000
and the project number for fund 4660

5821
05:41:20,878 --> 05:41:25,080
not provided in this.

5822
05:41:27,520 --> 05:41:29,440
And

5823
05:41:28,160 --> 05:41:30,798
» We have a we have a current

5824
05:41:29,440 --> 05:41:32,240
weatherization contract that's

5825
05:41:30,798 --> 05:41:33,840
multi-year. I can pull it up for you

5826
05:41:32,240 --> 05:41:35,840
just a minute. I know that's an active

5827
05:41:33,840 --> 05:41:37,040
contract. So, it's not referenced, but

5828
05:41:35,840 --> 05:41:38,480
we have an active contract that's

5829
05:41:37,040 --> 05:41:39,920
approved by the court to do

5830
05:41:38,480 --> 05:41:41,920
weatherization. So, I I'm looking for

5831
05:41:39,920 --> 05:41:43,600
that now. Commissioner,

5832
05:41:41,920 --> 05:41:47,120
» I'm just trying to get a budget

5833
05:41:43,600 --> 05:41:49,120
crosswalk that identifies cost incurred

5834
05:41:47,120 --> 05:41:52,160
since July 1st confirmed that the

5835
05:41:49,120 --> 05:41:55,680
contractor procurement and add a project

5836
05:41:52,160 --> 05:41:59,280
and add a project number.

5837
05:41:55,680 --> 05:42:03,240
It presently It does not. It says that

5838
05:41:59,280 --> 05:42:03,240
it does not provide

5839
05:42:10,080 --> 05:42:14,480
the current weatherization contract was

5840
05:42:12,240 --> 05:42:18,558
awarded for three years on December 16,

5841
05:42:14,480 --> 05:42:20,558
2025. So we have a method to uh spend

5842
05:42:18,558 --> 05:42:22,798
the money that's approved by the budget.

5843
05:42:20,558 --> 05:42:24,878
Uh so this is strictly a budgeting

5844
05:42:22,798 --> 05:42:26,160
discussion, not a contracting position.

5845
05:42:24,878 --> 05:42:29,920
We have a current contract in place

5846
05:42:26,160 --> 05:42:33,040
approved by this board in December 2025.

5847
05:42:29,920 --> 05:42:35,840
» Then answer my question. My question is

5848
05:42:33,040 --> 05:42:39,320
there is there a there's no project

5849
05:42:35,840 --> 05:42:39,320
numbers fond6600

5850
05:42:39,520 --> 05:42:46,600
but there a project number is not

5851
05:42:42,000 --> 05:42:46,600
provided which it calls for.

5852
05:42:51,040 --> 05:42:54,638
I mean don't blame me. I just read

5853
05:42:52,558 --> 05:42:57,638
writing. I'm just trying to follow

5854
05:42:54,638 --> 05:42:57,638
through.

5855
05:42:58,798 --> 05:43:02,240
Don't everybody talk at once.

5856
05:43:00,320 --> 05:43:04,080
» So, essentially what we're trying to do

5857
05:43:02,240 --> 05:43:05,760
is just authorize this so that the

5858
05:43:04,080 --> 05:43:09,280
auditor's office can establish our

5859
05:43:05,760 --> 05:43:11,600
budget appropriation for and um that's

5860
05:43:09,280 --> 05:43:12,480
what we need to ensure the program can

5861
05:43:11,600 --> 05:43:14,320
be operational.

5862
05:43:12,480 --> 05:43:15,280
» So, do you have a project number?

5863
05:43:14,320 --> 05:43:16,400
» Huh?

5864
05:43:15,280 --> 05:43:19,520
» Project number.

5865
05:43:16,400 --> 05:43:21,440
» They provided us the intent to contract.

5866
05:43:19,520 --> 05:43:23,440
We want to set up the budget so when we

5867
05:43:21,440 --> 05:43:24,798
get the official contract, then it's

5868
05:43:23,440 --> 05:43:27,520
it's ready to go and we're not going to

5869
05:43:24,798 --> 05:43:28,480
have a gap in service.

5870
05:43:27,520 --> 05:43:29,280
» 58.

5871
05:43:28,480 --> 05:43:29,680
» Yes. Uh

5872
05:43:29,280 --> 05:43:31,680
» 58.

5873
05:43:29,680 --> 05:43:35,080
» Yeah, I'm [clears throat] on 58.

5874
05:43:31,680 --> 05:43:35,080
» They were asking

5875
05:43:45,360 --> 05:43:51,360
the uh uh you don't have project number.

5876
05:43:48,240 --> 05:43:54,320
Okay. If if audits is okay with that

5877
05:43:51,360 --> 05:43:56,958
budget

5878
05:43:54,320 --> 05:44:00,958
on 76, the first administrative judicial

5879
05:43:56,958 --> 05:44:04,798
region county contribution year, we're

5880
05:44:00,958 --> 05:44:07,520
up to 190. It said that the uh financial

5881
05:44:04,798 --> 05:44:10,638
impact assessment letter and motion

5882
05:44:07,520 --> 05:44:14,080
stated 197,417

5883
05:44:10,638 --> 05:44:17,280
while the recommendation is 194,000. The

5884
05:44:14,080 --> 05:44:21,040
motion also repeats incomplete

5885
05:44:17,280 --> 05:44:24,638
introductory language several times. Uh

5886
05:44:21,040 --> 05:44:27,120
this uh which which one is it?

5887
05:44:24,638 --> 05:44:29,360
So is the recommendation and the motion

5888
05:44:27,120 --> 05:44:31,120
to be 197,000

5889
05:44:29,360 --> 05:44:34,120
and replace the repeating motion

5890
05:44:31,120 --> 05:44:34,120
language.

5891
05:44:34,718 --> 05:44:39,040
» Commissioner Price, let me work with

5892
05:44:36,638 --> 05:44:41,680
this was submitted by the auditor. Let

5893
05:44:39,040 --> 05:44:44,878
me confirm that with you. I see in the

5894
05:44:41,680 --> 05:44:47,680
recommendation it is the 194,

5895
05:44:44,878 --> 05:44:50,558
» Right? The recommendation states 194,

5896
05:44:47,680 --> 05:44:52,000
but the motion, the assessment letter

5897
05:44:50,558 --> 05:44:54,400
says 197.

5898
05:44:52,000 --> 05:44:57,280
» And these specific requests from Judge

5899
05:44:54,400 --> 05:44:59,360
Wheelis is 197. So, we would probably

5900
05:44:57,280 --> 05:45:04,040
need to amend the recommendation with

5901
05:44:59,360 --> 05:45:04,040
the auditor's approval to the 1974.

5902
05:45:06,098 --> 05:45:09,440
[snorts]

5903
05:45:07,600 --> 05:45:10,878
» Okay.

5904
05:45:09,440 --> 05:45:13,760
So pull that one through.

5905
05:45:10,878 --> 05:45:14,958
» Mr. Hick supports that. He just said no.

5906
05:45:13,760 --> 05:45:18,000
He said he's gonna amend it.

5907
05:45:14,958 --> 05:45:20,160
» Yeah. Mr. Hick just approved. So we will

5908
05:45:18,000 --> 05:45:23,160
go with Judge Willis's number which is

5909
05:45:20,160 --> 05:45:23,160
$197,417

5910
05:45:23,760 --> 05:45:27,920
» And we will amend the recommendation

5911
05:45:26,000 --> 05:45:30,400
section for the record.

5912
05:45:27,920 --> 05:45:32,400
» Which number was that?

5913
05:45:30,400 --> 05:45:34,638
» This is under

5914
05:45:32,400 --> 05:45:36,080
76. 76. Yep.

5915
05:45:34,638 --> 05:45:39,400
» And uh they said they're going to go

5916
05:45:36,080 --> 05:45:39,400
with $197,417

5917
05:45:40,718 --> 05:45:45,280
which was requested apparent about the

5918
05:45:42,958 --> 05:45:50,280
first administrative reading as opposed

5919
05:45:45,280 --> 05:45:50,280
to the recommendation of 194,000.

5920
05:45:50,958 --> 05:45:56,160
It's just numbers and writing. I know 83

5921
05:45:54,000 --> 05:45:58,400
pre-awward.

5922
05:45:56,160 --> 05:46:03,080
This is the raise grant for Dallas

5923
05:45:58,400 --> 05:46:03,080
County inland port. Um,

5924
05:46:04,320 --> 05:46:10,320
now this one's in the briefing describes

5925
05:46:07,440 --> 05:46:12,400
20.

5926
05:46:10,320 --> 05:46:14,080
» Hell yeah. Cuz I I want it right. I

5927
05:46:12,400 --> 05:46:14,638
don't want I don't need I don't need no

5928
05:46:14,080 --> 05:46:15,600
nonsense.

5929
05:46:14,638 --> 05:46:19,440
» Go ahead. Go ahead.

5930
05:46:15,600 --> 05:46:22,480
» 20.95 million in engineering rightway

5931
05:46:19,440 --> 05:46:25,440
utility cost as eligible pre-awward

5932
05:46:22,480 --> 05:46:28,400
reimbursement. But the federal form

5933
05:46:25,440 --> 05:46:30,958
shows zero uh federal share for the

5934
05:46:28,400 --> 05:46:33,040
entire 20 million as a non-federal

5935
05:46:30,958 --> 05:46:35,280
share. Uh the match versus the

5936
05:46:33,040 --> 05:46:38,718
reimbursement treatment must be

5937
05:46:35,280 --> 05:46:42,798
reconciled. The budget detail form um

5938
05:46:38,718 --> 05:46:45,040
contains bank and I know um I was going

5939
05:46:42,798 --> 05:46:46,968
to run this where's public works not

5940
05:46:45,040 --> 05:46:47,920
here.

5941
05:46:46,968 --> 05:46:50,000
[sighs]

5942
05:46:47,920 --> 05:46:52,400
complete and reconcile all the forms,

5943
05:46:50,000 --> 05:46:55,600
cost share tables, match reimbursement,

5944
05:46:52,400 --> 05:46:58,480
treatment on the full funding schedule

5945
05:46:55,600 --> 05:47:01,360
for signature. So you can push it back

5946
05:46:58,480 --> 05:47:04,160
up to Miss Miss Blair so she can get

5947
05:47:01,360 --> 05:47:06,558
confirm the environmental uh rightaway

5948
05:47:04,160 --> 05:47:09,120
authority, execute the agreements

5949
05:47:06,558 --> 05:47:12,240
covering the annexation, ownership,

5950
05:47:09,120 --> 05:47:15,120
maintenance, utility and the overruns

5951
05:47:12,240 --> 05:47:19,040
and then return the final raise grant

5952
05:47:15,120 --> 05:47:21,760
agreement and material uh the county

5953
05:47:19,040 --> 05:47:25,120
commitment changes to the court. So this

5954
05:47:21,760 --> 05:47:27,760
has the county's total commitment is 5.1

5955
05:47:25,120 --> 05:47:31,760
million but the submission only shows

5956
05:47:27,760 --> 05:47:34,000
2.9 million. The remaining 2.2 million

5957
05:47:31,760 --> 05:47:36,240
and total funding schedule are not

5958
05:47:34,000 --> 05:47:38,558
shown.

5959
05:47:36,240 --> 05:47:40,400
Oh, there you are. So did you I didn't

5960
05:47:38,558 --> 05:47:41,120
get it get back around. You see where

5961
05:47:40,400 --> 05:47:41,760
I'm going?

5962
05:47:41,120 --> 05:47:46,240
» Yeah.

5963
05:47:41,760 --> 05:47:49,040
» Okay. Are you able to kind of clear that

5964
05:47:46,240 --> 05:47:51,760
up? I just want I'm just saying that

5965
05:47:49,040 --> 05:47:53,840
it's Federal Highway

5966
05:47:51,760 --> 05:47:56,558
Administration. I'm just I'm looking at

5967
05:47:53,840 --> 05:47:58,878
the county's total commitment 5.1

5968
05:47:56,558 --> 05:48:03,200
million but the submission only shows

5969
05:47:58,878 --> 05:48:05,760
2.9 million. The remaining 2.2 2 million

5970
05:48:03,200 --> 05:48:07,520
and total project funding schedule are

5971
05:48:05,760 --> 05:48:11,440
not shown.

5972
05:48:07,520 --> 05:48:15,600
And it and it says in incomplete um the

5973
05:48:11,440 --> 05:48:19,440
the budget detail form contains blank

5974
05:48:15,600 --> 05:48:21,440
cost share and project detail tables

5975
05:48:19,440 --> 05:48:23,040
template language and incomplete

5976
05:48:21,440 --> 05:48:28,520
certification

5977
05:48:23,040 --> 05:48:28,520
uh stating enter recipient name.

5978
05:48:29,600 --> 05:48:32,000
Commissioner, I think we need to go back

5979
05:48:30,958 --> 05:48:32,320
and look at that.

5980
05:48:32,000 --> 05:48:33,280
» Okay.

5981
05:48:32,320 --> 05:48:35,120
» A little closer.

5982
05:48:33,280 --> 05:48:36,638
» Okay.

5983
05:48:35,120 --> 05:48:38,240
For you to be able to do that. I should

5984
05:48:36,638 --> 05:48:39,920
have got it to you before, but like you

5985
05:48:38,240 --> 05:48:41,600

5986
05:48:39,920 --> 05:48:43,040
things I'm having to go through, but

5987
05:48:41,600 --> 05:48:45,600
that's that's that's my fault.

5988
05:48:43,040 --> 05:48:46,836
» Yeah, we we'll go ahead and cuz like I

5989
05:48:45,600 --> 05:48:47,680
said, we're just trying to get this

5990
05:48:46,836 --> 05:48:49,280
[clears throat] over to the fence.

5991
05:48:47,680 --> 05:48:50,160
» I believe you will know.

5992
05:48:49,280 --> 05:48:51,120
» I know.

5993
05:48:50,160 --> 05:48:54,480

05:48:51,120 --> 05:48:57,120
» Okay. But I want go over there, right? I

05:48:54,480 --> 05:48:59,280
don't need no trouble.

5996
05:48:57,120 --> 05:49:02,558
Don't want no trouble at the river when

5997
05:48:59,280 --> 05:49:06,798
I cross over 84U

5998
05:49:02,558 --> 05:49:10,160

05:49:06,798 --> 05:49:13,520

Uh Mr. Okay. Yeah, you're going to

» Yes, sir.

6003
05:49:16,160 --> 05:49:19,600
» Okay.

6004
05:49:18,000 --> 05:49:21,760
Correct. The federal signature, date,

6005
05:49:19,600 --> 05:49:23,840
and authority. Move sensitive technical

6006
05:49:21,760 --> 05:49:26,638

procedures.

6017
05:49:51,040 --> 05:49:54,878
Uh, I'm sorry, Commissioner. Um, your

6018
05:49:52,798 --> 05:49:57,360
your question there is

6019
05:49:54,878 --> 05:50:00,718
» Well, you need to correct the federal

6020
05:49:57,360 --> 05:50:03,920
signature, date, and authority. Um, it

6021
05:50:00,718 --> 05:50:05,840
looks like when my people got into it

6022
05:50:03,920 --> 05:50:07,760
said no document, I can get into all

6023
05:50:05,840 --> 05:50:10,798
this other stuff. No documented,

6025
05:50:10,798 --> 05:50:16,400
grounding, lighting, fire code, radio

6026
05:50:14,000 --> 05:50:19,680
frequency. I can get into all of that. I

6027
05:50:16,400 --> 05:50:21,360
just got looks incomplete.

6028
05:50:19,680 --> 05:50:22,480
» Okay, let me uh let me take a look at

6029
05:50:21,360 --> 05:50:25,440
that, Commissioner, because this is the

6030
05:50:22,480 --> 05:50:26,160
first time I'm seeing that. So, um what

6031
05:50:25,440 --> 05:50:27,920
you're bringing up,

6032
05:50:26,160 --> 05:50:29,200
» Mr. Bone, give it up.

6033
05:50:27,920 --> 05:50:31,840
» No, no, sir. I'm listening.

6034
05:50:29,200 --> 05:50:35,200
» Okay. Okay. I mean, y'all are well known

6035
05:50:31,840 --> 05:50:36,638
this. I mean, I guess H is that the

6036
05:50:35,200 --> 05:50:39,638
last?

6037
05:50:36,638 --> 05:50:39,638
» Yeah.

6038
05:50:39,760 --> 05:50:42,718
» Yeah.

6039
05:50:41,200 --> 05:50:44,320
» I don't know if that we have to do it

6040
05:50:42,718 --> 05:50:45,040
this week, if we can do it next week.

6041
05:50:44,320 --> 05:50:46,798
But

6042
05:50:45,040 --> 05:50:48,558
» Well, what does it when does it need to

6043
05:50:46,798 --> 05:50:50,320
be done? I mean, I'm just

6044
05:50:48,558 --> 05:50:51,680
» I'm have a meeting next week,

6045
05:50:50,320 --> 05:50:53,520
Commissioner. We can probably just place

6046
05:50:51,680 --> 05:50:55,120
this on the next agenda. Just to make

6047
05:50:53,520 --> 05:50:56,718
sure we're bringing the requested

6048
05:50:55,120 --> 05:50:58,798
information, though. So, you wanted

6049
05:50:56,718 --> 05:51:01,600
detail on

6050
05:50:58,798 --> 05:51:05,280
» On on what specifically?

6051
05:51:01,600 --> 05:51:07,440
» On court order 84,

6052
05:51:05,280 --> 05:51:10,000
» Correct the federal signature, date, and

6053
05:51:07,440 --> 05:51:12,248
authority.

6054
05:51:10,000 --> 05:51:13,840
Move the sensitive technical details

6055
05:51:12,248 --> 05:51:16,718
[clears throat] to a security control

6056
05:51:13,840 --> 05:51:18,320
implementation document where legally

6057
05:51:16,718 --> 05:51:21,440
permitted

6058
05:51:18,320 --> 05:51:24,638
require facilities IT radio security and

6059
05:51:21,440 --> 05:51:26,958
risk approval county priority immediate

6060
05:51:24,638 --> 05:51:29,440
shutdown removal right.

6061
05:51:26,958 --> 05:51:31,760
» Yes sir. I think we'll also uh we can

6062
05:51:29,440 --> 05:51:33,440
work with uh Chief Forester also to give

6063
05:51:31,760 --> 05:51:35,440
you an executive session briefing on

6064
05:51:33,440 --> 05:51:37,600
this matter that I think will accompany

6065
05:51:35,440 --> 05:51:38,878
this item very well. So let us work on

6066
05:51:37,600 --> 05:51:40,000
that and we'll be ready for the next

6067
05:51:38,878 --> 05:51:42,558
meeting. Okay,

6068
05:51:40,000 --> 05:51:45,520
» I'm not even Hang on, guys. Before we do

6069
05:51:42,558 --> 05:51:48,000
this, do we know that we even have I

6070
05:51:45,520 --> 05:51:51,920
mean, we got a lot of stuff we got to do

6071
05:51:48,000 --> 05:51:53,760
before September the 10th is

6072
05:51:51,920 --> 05:51:57,120
I don't know the answer to this as I sit

6073
05:51:53,760 --> 05:51:58,878
here today. I'm just hitting doing

6074
05:51:57,120 --> 05:52:00,638
things as they're sent to us by the

6075
05:51:58,878 --> 05:52:03,360
feds.

6076
05:52:00,638 --> 05:52:04,718
Do we have a week to

6077
05:52:03,360 --> 05:52:06,878
do the order? Because I don't know all

6078
05:52:04,718 --> 05:52:09,120
the federal bureaucracy of how long it

6079
05:52:06,878 --> 05:52:13,120
takes to get some communication

6080
05:52:09,120 --> 05:52:16,160
equipment on the roofs around AAC.

6081
05:52:13,120 --> 05:52:19,440
» Um, uh, Judge Jenkins, um, they kind of

6082
05:52:16,160 --> 05:52:21,600
last minuteed us on this request. Um,

6083
05:52:19,440 --> 05:52:24,878
the good thing about the the the rooftop

6084
05:52:21,600 --> 05:52:27,520
penthouse at Crowley is, um, our

6085
05:52:24,878 --> 05:52:30,160
wireless radio communication group is

6086
05:52:27,520 --> 05:52:33,360
not using that uh, particular tower.

6087
05:52:30,160 --> 05:52:35,840
When we put the new P25 radio system in,

6088
05:52:33,360 --> 05:52:38,558
we we migrated it to the other tower.

6089
05:52:35,840 --> 05:52:40,000
So, this tower is not not being used by

6090
05:52:38,558 --> 05:52:40,320
us.

6091
05:52:40,000 --> 05:52:42,080
» Okay.

6092
05:52:40,320 --> 05:52:44,000
» Okay. But do we have do we have six

6093
05:52:42,080 --> 05:52:44,320
days? I mean, I would think we do, but I

6094
05:52:44,000 --> 05:52:45,280
don't know.

6095
05:52:44,320 --> 05:52:46,958
» I think so, sir.

6096
05:52:45,280 --> 05:52:48,878
» And I don't want to be responsible for

6097
05:52:46,958 --> 05:52:54,160
anything that happens.

6098
05:52:48,878 --> 05:52:56,240
» They've been pretty um um flexible, but

6099
05:52:54,160 --> 05:52:57,680
check. But I and I'm not worried worried

6100
05:52:56,240 --> 05:52:59,360
about them. I'm worried about us. And

6101
05:52:57,680 --> 05:53:01,920
then, as I said, I didn't get into all

6102
05:52:59,360 --> 05:53:04,718
the detail. I was just talking about why

6103
05:53:01,920 --> 05:53:06,718
I pulled it and what all it needed. You

6104
05:53:04,718 --> 05:53:08,958
know, I I just want to say to Steph,

6105
05:53:06,718 --> 05:53:11,040
this is not a I got you. We spend a lot

6106
05:53:08,958 --> 05:53:13,600
of time going through all this damn

6107
05:53:11,040 --> 05:53:16,558
paperwork. And if it's there, it's

6108
05:53:13,600 --> 05:53:19,120
there. And if it's not, it's not. It's

6109
05:53:16,558 --> 05:53:22,240
just that simple. Because I I would have

6110
05:53:19,120 --> 05:53:24,000
gotten back to I mean, Miss um

6111
05:53:22,240 --> 05:53:25,440
» Please, please get them this stuff ahead

6112
05:53:24,000 --> 05:53:27,760
of time.

6113
05:53:25,440 --> 05:53:30,080
» Well, wait, wait, just a damn minute. We

6114
05:53:27,760 --> 05:53:31,760
work all weekend. We we work and we pull

6115
05:53:30,080 --> 05:53:32,240
this stuff out. Yeah, I'd love to,

6116
05:53:31,760 --> 05:53:34,558
Judge.

6117
05:53:32,240 --> 05:53:36,240
» Okay. Well, please. We'll get with you

6118
05:53:34,558 --> 05:53:38,558
after this. We get the program and they

6119
05:53:36,240 --> 05:53:40,240
can all run too and then hopefully it

6120
05:53:38,558 --> 05:53:42,878
can resolve a lot of this.

6121
05:53:40,240 --> 05:53:45,520
» Well, my my staff runs and I don't

6122
05:53:42,878 --> 05:53:48,400
But I pulled [clears throat] 15 dad gum

6123
05:53:45,520 --> 05:53:51,200
orders and every one of them had, you

6124
05:53:48,400 --> 05:53:52,480
know, had some I didn't

6125
05:53:51,200 --> 05:53:53,520
» Questions to it.

6126
05:53:52,480 --> 05:53:55,680
» Do what?

6127
05:53:53,520 --> 05:53:58,400
» And I know I went through the same thing

6128
05:53:55,680 --> 05:54:01,600
of working over the weekend and that

6129
05:53:58,400 --> 05:54:03,840
kind of business. 84 orders is a lot.

6130
05:54:01,600 --> 05:54:05,360
And you know what what they say is you

6131
05:54:03,840 --> 05:54:10,000
if you can't handle the job, get out of

6132
05:54:05,360 --> 05:54:11,760
it. Accept that it's a lot.

6133
05:54:10,000 --> 05:54:13,200
» Commissioner, if if I could get that

6134
05:54:11,760 --> 05:54:14,718
from your staff, uh that would be

6135
05:54:13,200 --> 05:54:18,240
helpful. Just to make sure we address

6136
05:54:14,718 --> 05:54:19,200
all your concerns, sir.

6137
05:54:18,240 --> 05:54:20,558
» Talk to me staff.

6138
05:54:19,200 --> 05:54:23,718
» Here, here you go, M.

6139
05:54:20,558 --> 05:54:23,718
» Thank you.

6140
05:54:24,878 --> 05:54:31,920
» I was just doing generally.

6141
05:54:27,920 --> 05:54:35,718
» Okay. Court court order 36. Judge, who

6142
05:54:31,920 --> 05:54:35,718
has additional language?

6143
05:54:37,520 --> 05:54:40,798
» What was that?

6144
05:54:38,160 --> 05:54:42,558
» Court order 36. We pulled 36 for

6145
05:54:40,798 --> 05:54:43,520
additional language.

6146
05:54:42,558 --> 05:54:45,280
» Who has the language?

6147
05:54:43,520 --> 05:54:47,760
» Well, wait. Now we have to vote on these

6148
05:54:45,280 --> 05:54:48,878
first because 36 was was actually pulled

6149
05:54:47,760 --> 05:54:49,600
out of that group.

6150
05:54:48,878 --> 05:54:51,680
» Yeah.

6151
05:54:49,600 --> 05:54:53,920
» So, is there we we've had some

6152
05:54:51,680 --> 05:54:56,240
discussion. Some orders have been

6153
05:54:53,920 --> 05:54:57,520
pulled. Uh, Commissioner Price, you

6154
05:54:56,240 --> 05:54:58,958
probably would know best what orders

6155
05:54:57,520 --> 05:55:00,480
were pulled.

6156
05:54:58,958 --> 05:55:02,320
Oh, which one on?

6157
05:55:00,480 --> 05:55:05,680
» So, so before us are the

6158
05:55:02,320 --> 05:55:07,840
non-controversial unpulled court orders,

6159
05:55:05,680 --> 05:55:12,240
but after talking about them,

6160
05:55:07,840 --> 05:55:19,600
Commissioner Price sought to pull some.

6161
05:55:12,240 --> 05:55:21,520
» 20 33 34 46 52 55

6162
05:55:19,600 --> 05:55:22,878
» No, 52 through 55 would not

6163
05:55:21,520 --> 05:55:26,878
» That stay. Oh, that's right. Because

6164
05:55:22,878 --> 05:55:27,760
he's in a lockon, right? Yeah. Uh then

6165
05:55:26,878 --> 05:55:30,480
58.

6166
05:55:27,760 --> 05:55:31,040
» Let him tell you or tell us. He's got

6167
05:55:30,480 --> 05:55:33,440
it.

6168
05:55:31,040 --> 05:55:36,638
» I think he's got

6169
05:55:33,440 --> 05:55:38,320
» 33 76

6170
05:55:36,638 --> 05:55:40,958
834.

6171
05:55:38,320 --> 05:55:44,400
» Thank you, sir. All right. So, with

6172
05:55:40,958 --> 05:55:46,638
those additional polls from the from the

6173
05:55:44,400 --> 05:55:48,000
list, I think we're now ready to vote.

6174
05:55:46,638 --> 05:55:50,160
All those in favor of this

6175
05:55:48,000 --> 05:55:53,680
» Oh, I have some comments.

6176
05:55:50,160 --> 05:55:57,840
» Okay. on one item and I saw um the

6177
05:55:53,680 --> 05:56:00,958
League of Women Voters earlier today

6178
05:55:57,840 --> 05:56:03,760
uh and I want to thank the elections

6179
05:56:00,958 --> 05:56:07,600
department. If you look at agenda item

6180
05:56:03,760 --> 05:56:10,320
number 35, it was the 2026 election

6181
05:56:07,600 --> 05:56:14,638
worker pay rates increases.

6182
05:56:10,320 --> 05:56:17,520
I um you know I was very pleased to see

6183
05:56:14,638 --> 05:56:21,520
that early voting judges went from 2022

6184
05:56:17,520 --> 05:56:25,600
to $22 an hour. Election day judges from

6185
05:56:21,520 --> 05:56:30,000
24 to 26. Early boarding day clerks from

6186
05:56:25,600 --> 05:56:35,120
1824 to 1915 an hour. Election day pole

6187
05:56:30,000 --> 05:56:37,600
workers um cler clerk training class um

6188
05:56:35,120 --> 05:56:40,160
you know will be $80 per class. And

6189
05:56:37,600 --> 05:56:43,600
today when Commissioner Price asked

6190
05:56:40,160 --> 05:56:47,760
about all the training, it will be paid

6191
05:56:43,600 --> 05:56:50,000
if you choose to retake the training. So

6192
05:56:47,760 --> 05:56:52,878
I think that at the time when we're

6193
05:56:50,000 --> 05:56:56,080
really challenged with election workers,

6194
05:56:52,878 --> 05:56:58,798
this is a good call, guys. And I want to

6195
05:56:56,080 --> 05:57:01,120
thank all the people that got involved u

6196
05:56:58,798 --> 05:57:03,760
with the elections department. And

6197
05:57:01,120 --> 05:57:05,840
» Mr. on. Even though I wasn't very

6198
05:57:03,760 --> 05:57:11,440
specific, when you get down to their

6199
05:57:05,840 --> 05:57:13,040
signature, it says 25, not 26

6200
05:57:11,440 --> 05:57:14,878
on your paperwork

6201
05:57:13,040 --> 05:57:15,680
» For for the federal document.

6202
05:57:14,878 --> 05:57:19,400
» Yes, sir. Okay.

6203
05:57:15,680 --> 05:57:19,400
» Okay. It says 25,

6204
05:57:19,440 --> 05:57:23,920
» Sir. I I know they did it. I'm just

6205
05:57:22,240 --> 05:57:27,200
telling them. Hell, I still Well, they

6206
05:57:23,920 --> 05:57:32,558
did it with a reading, but it says 25 in

6207
05:57:27,200 --> 05:57:32,558
the document. Okay. Okay.

6208
05:57:32,878 --> 05:57:38,080
We expect if he has to do it, right?

6209
05:57:35,360 --> 05:57:41,480
» Never mind. Never mind. Okay. Is there

6210
05:57:38,080 --> 05:57:41,480
anything else?

6211
05:57:42,718 --> 05:57:45,600
» I'm ready to call the question on the

6212
05:57:44,080 --> 05:57:46,080
non-controversials then.

6213
05:57:45,600 --> 05:57:48,480
» Okay.

05:59:12,798 --> 05:59:14,958

05:59:14,958 --> 05:59:19,360
» Well, probably something. What?

6261
05:59:17,520 --> 05:59:20,958
» We can pull it and get more information

6262
05:59:19,360 --> 05:59:21,360
for you, Commissioner.

6263
05:59:20,958 --> 05:59:22,798
» Yeah.

6264
05:59:21,360 --> 05:59:24,240
» What is the

05:59:22,798 --> 05:59:26,638
» I don't Yeah.

6266
05:59:24,240 --> 05:59:28,718
» Well, we have Homers. We have other

6267
05:59:26,638 --> 05:59:29,920
cars. We have Porsches that come

6268
05:59:28,718 --> 05:59:31,920
through.

6269
05:59:29,920 --> 05:59:33,840
» I mean, we have a lot of different

6270
05:59:31,920 --> 05:59:35,680
vehicles that have come through and we

6271
05:59:33,840 --> 05:59:38,558
just want to know

6272
05:59:35,680 --> 05:59:41,840
» Where are they going this beautiful.

6273
05:59:38,558 --> 05:59:43,600
» And for those of you think

6274
05:59:41,840 --> 05:59:43,920
I don't have a car. Never had one. Don't

6275
05:59:43,600 --> 05:59:45,040
want one.

6276
05:59:43,920 --> 05:59:46,718
» Oh, you don't have this one?

6277
05:59:45,040 --> 05:59:47,760
» No, I don't have one. Don't want one.

6278
05:59:46,718 --> 05:59:49,760
Never had one.

6279
05:59:47,760 --> 05:59:51,920
» Anyway, u Okay, gotcha.

6280
05:59:49,760 --> 05:59:54,160
» Take one.

6281
05:59:51,920 --> 05:59:56,080
» Okay, that concludes the agenda, judge,

6282
05:59:54,160 --> 05:59:59,120
especially.

6283
05:59:56,080 --> 06:00:00,798
» All right, so I don't Let me look and

6284
05:59:59,120 --> 06:00:02,320
see if we have any speakers.

6285
06:00:00,798 --> 06:00:02,878
» Yes, Dolores Phillips.

6286
06:00:02,320 --> 06:00:04,558
» We do.

6287
06:00:02,878 --> 06:00:05,520
» No, no, no. We haven't voted on

6288
06:00:04,558 --> 06:00:07,280
everything yet, guys.

6289
06:00:05,520 --> 06:00:09,360
» Yes, we have. We voted.

6290
06:00:07,280 --> 06:00:10,798
» We did while you were out, judge.

6291
06:00:09,360 --> 06:00:13,040
» We voted on all the non-controversial

6292
06:00:10,798 --> 06:00:16,080
stuff. non-controversial court orders,

6293
06:00:13,040 --> 06:00:17,760
but we still got um two things. We have

6294
06:00:16,080 --> 06:00:19,200
to read stuff into the record that were

6295
06:00:17,760 --> 06:00:21,040
pulled for reading into the record.

6296
06:00:19,200 --> 06:00:24,798
» Item number 36.

6297
06:00:21,040 --> 06:00:28,718
» Number 36. And who is read? Is that the

6298
06:00:24,798 --> 06:00:30,160
one on the uh Hang on one second, guys?

6299
06:00:28,718 --> 06:00:31,680
Because one of these things I can read

6300
06:00:30,160 --> 06:00:35,558
into the record, but the other one I'm

6301
06:00:31,680 --> 06:00:35,558
going to need some help on.

6302
06:00:38,400 --> 06:00:42,400
Yeah, 36 I can do.

6303
06:00:40,400 --> 06:00:45,680
Paul, somebody from your office needs to

6304
06:00:42,400 --> 06:00:47,680
get here for your names or text them to

6305
06:00:45,680 --> 06:00:48,240
me.

6306
06:00:47,680 --> 06:00:49,760
» Um,

6307
06:00:48,240 --> 06:00:52,400
» Oh, the election judges

6308
06:00:49,760 --> 06:00:53,360
» Number 46. Okay,

6309
06:00:52,400 --> 06:00:55,040
» So

6310
06:00:53,360 --> 06:00:56,798
» I thought that moving the

6311
06:00:55,040 --> 06:00:57,520
» Yes. Okay,

6312
06:00:56,798 --> 06:00:59,280
» Are you gonna read them?

6313
06:00:57,520 --> 06:01:00,240
» Yes, sir. This is for one item number

6314
06:00:59,280 --> 06:01:03,520
46.

6315
06:01:00,240 --> 06:01:03,920
» No, no, no, sir. It's not you. Not you.

6316
06:01:03,520 --> 06:01:04,558
» Yeah.

6317
06:01:03,920 --> 06:01:06,320
» Thank you, Mr.

6318
06:01:04,558 --> 06:01:07,120
» But I like how you're ready.

6319
06:01:06,320 --> 06:01:12,320
» I appreciate it.

6320
06:01:07,120 --> 06:01:14,000
» Ready. So, the 36 is before us and uh I

6321
06:01:12,320 --> 06:01:15,600
don't see anyone from elections. Should

6322
06:01:14,000 --> 06:01:19,400
we wait a minute until someone from

6323
06:01:15,600 --> 06:01:19,400
elections gets here?

6324
06:01:22,718 --> 06:01:26,080
The first one that we're going to I just

6325
06:01:24,958 --> 06:01:27,520
want to make sure we're doing it right.

6326
06:01:26,080 --> 06:01:28,958
And Barbara, maybe you have the language

6327
06:01:27,520 --> 06:01:30,718
and we don't have to wait for him on

6328
06:01:28,958 --> 06:01:32,798
that one, but I'm pretty sure we will

6329
06:01:30,718 --> 06:01:37,360
have to wait for him on the next one.

6330
06:01:32,798 --> 06:01:40,400
Um, the language on the first one is the

6331
06:01:37,360 --> 06:01:43,200
hours of the first week of voting were

6332
06:01:40,400 --> 06:01:47,160
stated incorrectly and that's the only

6333
06:01:43,200 --> 06:01:47,160
thing I need to fix, right?

6334
06:01:49,200 --> 06:01:52,200
» 36.

6335
06:01:58,160 --> 06:02:03,638
» Oh, yes. Please have him come in here.

6336
06:02:07,760 --> 06:02:12,558
Oh, he's in the building, right?

6337
06:02:10,320 --> 06:02:14,400
» Would he also, while he's coming, can

6338
06:02:12,558 --> 06:02:16,160
somebody else find me the names of the

6339
06:02:14,400 --> 06:02:18,878
people that they want added to the last

6340
06:02:16,160 --> 06:02:21,360
court order,

6341
06:02:18,878 --> 06:02:26,400
» Please? The last court order,

6342
06:02:21,360 --> 06:02:29,200
» The the 86 is a is is a court order

6343
06:02:26,400 --> 06:02:31,360
where we named some election judges and

6344
06:02:29,200 --> 06:02:32,958
they're saying they have additions to

6345
06:02:31,360 --> 06:02:34,558
that

6346
06:02:32,958 --> 06:02:36,480
» That they were going to be here to read

6347
06:02:34,558 --> 06:02:38,400
into the record, but no one's here.

6348
06:02:36,480 --> 06:02:38,798
» Judge, you're calling it 86 and it's 85.

6349
06:02:38,400 --> 06:02:41,840
I think

6350
06:02:38,798 --> 06:02:46,638
» I beg your pardon.

6351
06:02:41,840 --> 06:02:49,920
» The clerk has some questions. for 36

6352
06:02:46,638 --> 06:02:53,120
for um agenda item 36 it was to for the

6353
06:02:49,920 --> 06:02:54,878
first week of early voting to the new

6354
06:02:53,120 --> 06:02:56,400
hours to be 7 to 7

6355
06:02:54,878 --> 06:02:56,878
» And that's all I've got to say.

6356
06:02:56,400 --> 06:02:58,638
» Yes.

6357
06:02:56,878 --> 06:03:01,280
» Oh, great. Thank you very much. All

6358
06:02:58,638 --> 06:03:02,558
right. So, as as I Oh, let's get that in

6359
06:03:01,280 --> 06:03:03,680
front of us. Is there a motion and

6360
06:03:02,558 --> 06:03:04,878
second on 36?

6361
06:03:03,680 --> 06:03:08,160
» Some move.

6362
06:03:04,878 --> 06:03:10,638
» Okay. Okay. So, um, when this was

6363
06:03:08,160 --> 06:03:13,680
originally done, the law allows, uh,

6364
06:03:10,638 --> 06:03:16,798
voting from 7 a.m. to 7 pm on the first

6365
06:03:13,680 --> 06:03:18,240
week. It mandates it on the second week.

6366
06:03:16,798 --> 06:03:21,760
These I'm talking about the Monday

6367
06:03:18,240 --> 06:03:25,680
through Fridays. Uh, the lowest you can

6368
06:03:21,760 --> 06:03:27,760
do is 8 to 5. There was some confusion

6369
06:03:25,680 --> 06:03:31,280
uh with staff

6370
06:03:27,760 --> 06:03:33,040
on that and they put the low number as

6371
06:03:31,280 --> 06:03:37,920
opposed to what Dallas County always

6372
06:03:33,040 --> 06:03:40,958
does in in major elections which is the

6373
06:03:37,920 --> 06:03:44,320
maximum number of 7 to 7. So, the change

6374
06:03:40,958 --> 06:03:46,240
in the order is only this that for the

6375
06:03:44,320 --> 06:03:50,558
first week of early voting, voting

6376
06:03:46,240 --> 06:03:54,160
begins at 7 a.m. and and uh polls close

6377
06:03:50,558 --> 06:03:57,040
at 700 p.m. The rest of the hours would

6378
06:03:54,160 --> 06:03:59,920
stay the same. And that's the only thing

6379
06:03:57,040 --> 06:04:02,798
that need to be read into the record

6380
06:03:59,920 --> 06:04:03,280
for um 36.

6381
06:04:02,798 --> 06:04:06,160
» Okay.

6382
06:04:03,280 --> 06:04:09,798
» Correct. Barbara,

6383
06:04:06,160 --> 06:04:09,798
» Is that correct?

6384
06:04:10,000 --> 06:04:16,120
So this is the correct rate.

6385
06:04:13,120 --> 06:04:16,120
» Yes.

6386
06:04:16,240 --> 06:04:21,080
» Let's wait for James. We don't want to

6387
06:04:18,080 --> 06:04:21,080
make

6388
06:04:34,000 --> 06:04:37,000
» Yeah.

6389
06:04:37,600 --> 06:04:44,680
So it's 786 here and it's 886 here. So

6390
06:04:41,520 --> 06:04:44,680
the difference

6391
06:04:44,718 --> 06:04:51,360
» James do all is all that needs to happen

6392
06:04:48,400 --> 06:04:54,320
is I need to explain that the order will

6393
06:04:51,360 --> 06:04:55,760
have 7 a.m. to 700 p.m. the first Monday

6394
06:04:54,320 --> 06:04:57,120
through Friday.

6395
06:04:55,760 --> 06:05:00,400
» That's correct.

6396
06:04:57,120 --> 06:05:04,080
And then the the it was it already 7

6397
06:05:00,400 --> 06:05:06,080
through 7 on the first Saturday and 1 to

6398
06:05:04,080 --> 06:05:06,718
six on the first Sunday on the only

6399
06:05:06,080 --> 06:05:07,680
Sunday.

6400
06:05:06,718 --> 06:05:09,040
» Correct. Yes.

6401
06:05:07,680 --> 06:05:10,656
» Okay.

6402
06:05:09,040 --> 06:05:12,480
» All right. So that nothing

6403
06:05:10,656 --> 06:05:12,958
[clears throat] special just that

6404
06:05:12,480 --> 06:05:13,840
correct?

6405
06:05:12,958 --> 06:05:18,160
» Just that judge. Yeah.

6406
06:05:13,840 --> 06:05:20,558
» Okay. So we've done that already. Uh

6407
06:05:18,160 --> 06:05:24,040
» I think I've already said that. So are

6408
06:05:20,558 --> 06:05:24,040
we ready to vote?

6409
06:05:26,240 --> 06:05:30,480
Yeah. Oh, I said wanted to. All right,

6410
06:05:28,160 --> 06:05:32,718
let me read.

6411
06:05:30,480 --> 06:05:36,320
» I'm so sorry. Let me start over on that.

6412
06:05:32,718 --> 06:05:39,680
So, the only amendment to 36 is that the

6413
06:05:36,320 --> 06:05:45,120
first week of voting um Monday through

6414
06:05:39,680 --> 06:05:47,440
Friday will be 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. The

6415
06:05:45,120 --> 06:05:49,680
rest of the numbers on the order will

6416
06:05:47,440 --> 06:05:52,718
stay the same.

6417
06:05:49,680 --> 06:05:55,120
With that read into the record, are we

6418
06:05:52,718 --> 06:05:56,000
ready to vote?

6419
06:05:55,120 --> 06:05:56,400
» Yes.

6420
06:05:56,000 --> 06:05:58,240
» All right.

6421
06:05:56,400 --> 06:05:59,040
» Question.

6422
06:05:58,240 --> 06:06:01,440
» Call the question.

6423
06:05:59,040 --> 06:06:02,240
» Oh. All those in favor signify by saying

6424
06:06:01,440 --> 06:06:03,600
I.

6425
06:06:02,240 --> 06:06:05,920
» I.

6426
06:06:03,600 --> 06:06:08,718
» Any opposed?

6427
06:06:05,920 --> 06:06:12,400
» Motion carries unanimously.

6428
06:06:08,718 --> 06:06:14,160
Next up is 85, which

6429
06:06:12,400 --> 06:06:15,920
» Without the names, I'm not going to be

6430
06:06:14,160 --> 06:06:17,920
able to amend that. So, I would

6431
06:06:15,920 --> 06:06:21,280
appreciate it if someone would either

6432
06:06:17,920 --> 06:06:21,920
send me the names or come tell us the

6433
06:06:21,280 --> 06:06:23,280
names.

6434
06:06:21,920 --> 06:06:23,680
» Is this for 85?

6435
06:06:23,280 --> 06:06:24,080
» Yes.

6436
06:06:23,680 --> 06:06:27,080
» Yes.

6437
06:06:24,080 --> 06:06:27,080
» Okay.

6438
06:06:45,760 --> 06:06:49,160
What is this?

6439
06:06:52,718 --> 06:06:59,080
» Is that the same number?

6440
06:06:54,558 --> 06:06:59,080
» Probably not. But uh

6441
06:06:59,200 --> 06:07:02,160
» That's not right. But that's okay.

6442
06:07:01,040 --> 06:07:04,320
Charles is going to get the right

6443
06:07:02,160 --> 06:07:05,680
number. You're you're getting the right

6444
06:07:04,320 --> 06:07:07,520
number. Right, Charles?

6445
06:07:05,680 --> 06:07:08,718
» Yes, sir. So, the document that was just

6446
06:07:07,520 --> 06:07:11,200
passed out

6447
06:07:08,718 --> 06:07:12,558
» And then the document that

6448
06:07:11,200 --> 06:07:14,160
» This document,

6449
06:07:12,558 --> 06:07:17,840
» They should have the same number. They

6450
06:07:14,160 --> 06:07:19,200
do have the same number on it. The 25315

6451
06:07:17,840 --> 06:07:22,240
» 253.

6452
06:07:19,200 --> 06:07:23,440
» It's only It's only $22 different. Hell,

6453
06:07:22,240 --> 06:07:24,400
don't make

6454
06:07:23,440 --> 06:07:27,120
» It's only 22.

6455
06:07:24,400 --> 06:07:29,120
» Still still on right though. Can you

6456
06:07:27,120 --> 06:07:30,480
just please do it with the numbers we

6457
06:07:29,120 --> 06:07:32,240
gave you?

6458
06:07:30,480 --> 06:07:33,920
» They did.

6459
06:07:32,240 --> 06:07:36,480
So,

6460
06:07:33,920 --> 06:07:41,240
» Um,

6461
06:07:36,480 --> 06:07:41,240
» Five5 off of

6462
06:07:41,280 --> 06:07:45,520
» H. Here's Paul Adams.

6463
06:07:43,920 --> 06:07:47,360
» I may just have to come get with you

6464
06:07:45,520 --> 06:07:50,638
guys on a typewriter. So, I don't know.

6465
06:07:47,360 --> 06:07:54,000
But let's get this next one. Uh,

6466
06:07:50,638 --> 06:07:55,440
» Paul, do you have the u

6467
06:07:54,000 --> 06:07:58,440
» Names that you want read into the

6468
06:07:55,440 --> 06:07:58,440
record?

6469
06:08:02,000 --> 06:08:09,080
We did that. We did that already.

6470
06:08:05,120 --> 06:08:09,080
» Hey, can I hear you in the mic?

6471
06:08:26,558 --> 06:08:30,200
Is that what they want?

6472
06:08:53,920 --> 06:08:57,120
» Thank you very much.

6473
06:08:57,520 --> 06:09:01,200
Okay. So,

6474
06:08:59,520 --> 06:09:03,600
» Where is my original?

6475
06:09:01,200 --> 06:09:06,718
» The uh the 85 is going to be pulled for

6476
06:09:03,600 --> 06:09:08,160
two weeks.

6477
06:09:06,718 --> 06:09:11,360
Judge, commissioners, in front of you,

6478
06:09:08,160 --> 06:09:14,480
you have two different documents. One

6479
06:09:11,360 --> 06:09:16,798
is a property tax rate uh comparison.

6480
06:09:14,480 --> 06:09:19,680
The other is the ballot language that

6481
06:09:16,798 --> 06:09:21,360
was referenced earlier. Uh looks like

6482
06:09:19,680 --> 06:09:26,638
this. So, walking through the property

6483
06:09:21,360 --> 06:09:28,558
tax rate comparison, the proposed TR

6484
06:09:26,638 --> 06:09:30,638
added to the voter approval rate, if you

6485
06:09:28,558 --> 06:09:33,040
look at the sheet with the blue border

6486
06:09:30,638 --> 06:09:36,718
at the top, current rate, starting left

6487
06:09:33,040 --> 06:09:40,480
or right, current rate is 2155,

6488
06:09:36,718 --> 06:09:44,400
has a current uh property tax on a

6489
06:09:40,480 --> 06:09:46,638
$350,000 house of $754.

6490
06:09:44,400 --> 06:09:48,240
The V, the voter approval rate, which

6491
06:09:46,638 --> 06:09:53,360
was what was originally approved

6492
06:09:48,240 --> 06:09:57,120
earlier, has a uh average tax of 786 on

6493
06:09:53,360 --> 06:10:01,200
a 356 $350,000 home. The voter approval

6494
06:09:57,120 --> 06:10:03,680
rate plus the TR that's proposed at

6495
06:10:01,200 --> 06:10:06,160
25315

6496
06:10:03,680 --> 06:10:09,680
is an $886

6497
06:10:06,160 --> 06:10:13,120
levy on a $350,000 home. The ballot

6498
06:10:09,680 --> 06:10:14,798
language is included on the other sheet

6499
06:10:13,120 --> 06:10:15,680
that

6500
06:10:14,798 --> 06:10:17,760
» Where's the other sheet?

6501
06:10:15,680 --> 06:10:20,400
» It should have been passed out to you by

6502
06:10:17,760 --> 06:10:21,200
the deis judge.

6503
06:10:20,400 --> 06:10:24,798
» Okay.

6504
06:10:21,200 --> 06:10:26,558
» Yeah. The ballot language for the tax

6505
06:10:24,798 --> 06:10:29,520
rate election

6506
06:10:26,558 --> 06:10:32,798
» Proposal reads approving the advorum tax

6507
06:10:29,520 --> 06:10:34,958
rate up to.25315 25315

6508
06:10:32,798 --> 06:10:37,520
per $100 valuation in the county of

6509
06:10:34,958 --> 06:10:43,120
Dallas for the current year, a rate that

6510
06:10:37,520 --> 06:10:44,958
is 00285 higher per $100 valuation than

6511
06:10:43,120 --> 06:10:46,480
the voter approval tax rate of the

6512
06:10:44,958 --> 06:10:49,040
county of Dallas for the purpose of

6513
06:10:46,480 --> 06:10:50,480
funding programs that measurably reduce

6514
06:10:49,040 --> 06:10:52,958
homelessness and resolve homeless

6515
06:10:50,480 --> 06:10:55,280
encampments, increase access to mental

6516
06:10:52,958 --> 06:10:57,280
health treatment, support programs that

6517
06:10:55,280 --> 06:10:59,600
provide stable housing, and improve

6518
06:10:57,280 --> 06:11:01,440
Dallas County public safety services.

6519
06:10:59,600 --> 06:11:03,760
Last year the abl tax rate in Dallas

6520
06:11:01,440 --> 06:11:07,040
County was 0.2155

6521
06:11:03,760 --> 06:11:11,600
per $100 valuation.

6522
06:11:07,040 --> 06:11:13,200
» So before we get to debate and whatnot,

6523
06:11:11,600 --> 06:11:15,520
um

6524
06:11:13,200 --> 06:11:19,920
that is the correct language of what

6525
06:11:15,520 --> 06:11:24,638
would be on the ballot if next week

6526
06:11:19,920 --> 06:11:26,638
we voted to include the TR.

6527
06:11:24,638 --> 06:11:28,958
What is before us today and then we can

6528
06:11:26,638 --> 06:11:32,160
hear all debate anybody wants is whether

6529
06:11:28,958 --> 06:11:34,000
or not to post the approp the required

6530
06:11:32,160 --> 06:11:40,558
language

6531
06:11:34,000 --> 06:11:42,958
in the Dr. Daniel the Dr. Daniel. Uh,

6532
06:11:40,558 --> 06:11:46,240
so what is before us today is whether or

6533
06:11:42,958 --> 06:11:49,120
not to repost the required language so

6534
06:11:46,240 --> 06:11:52,718
that that could be considered next week.

6535
06:11:49,120 --> 06:11:55,600
If we don't post the language this week,

6536
06:11:52,718 --> 06:11:58,160
then the time would run out and that

6537
06:11:55,600 --> 06:11:58,878
would be the end of it and it would

6538
06:11:58,160 --> 06:12:00,878
» Thank you.

6539
06:11:58,878 --> 06:12:03,280
» Okay, great. So, that's all that's

6540
06:12:00,878 --> 06:12:05,840
before us for today. Now, and and I'm

6541
06:12:03,280 --> 06:12:08,000
sure by next week if this passes to get

6542
06:12:05,840 --> 06:12:10,320
the posting out that everyone will have

6543
06:12:08,000 --> 06:12:12,080
many questions about what would this

6544
06:12:10,320 --> 06:12:13,760
cost a homeowner that didn't have a

6545
06:12:12,080 --> 06:12:16,320
homestead exemption or lived in a

6546
06:12:13,760 --> 06:12:18,160
million-doll house or a barber shop in a

6547
06:12:16,320 --> 06:12:20,080
certain neighborhood and all those

6548
06:12:18,160 --> 06:12:23,760
things they could look at and we could

6549
06:12:20,080 --> 06:12:26,638
discuss next week. This vote is just for

6550
06:12:23,760 --> 06:12:30,000
whether or not we even get that far,

6551
06:12:26,638 --> 06:12:32,718
whether we post this or not. With that

6552
06:12:30,000 --> 06:12:35,200
said, um I know everybody's going to

6553
06:12:32,718 --> 06:12:37,920
want to make arguments and whatnot. Who

6554
06:12:35,200 --> 06:12:38,798
wants to start?

6555
06:12:37,920 --> 06:12:39,840
» I'm good.

6556
06:12:38,798 --> 06:12:42,480
» You're

6557
06:12:39,840 --> 06:12:46,080
» Okay. You want to make arguments?

6558
06:12:42,480 --> 06:12:46,558
» Nothing else to say. This guy's call.

6559
06:12:46,080 --> 06:12:50,280
» Okay.

6560
06:12:46,558 --> 06:12:50,280
» It's about $154.52.

6561
06:12:50,638 --> 06:12:54,558
» Yes. All those petition.

6562
06:12:52,160 --> 06:12:55,520
» Yes. All those in favor signify by

6563
06:12:54,558 --> 06:12:56,320
saying I

6564
06:12:55,520 --> 06:12:59,280
» I

6565
06:12:56,320 --> 06:13:00,320
» I uh all those opposed.

6566
06:12:59,280 --> 06:13:02,480
» No.

6567
06:13:00,320 --> 06:13:07,600
» All right. The eyes have it and the

6568
06:13:02,480 --> 06:13:09,600
posting uh will occur and I'll set the

6569
06:13:07,600 --> 06:13:12,638
agenda in such a way that we comply with

6570
06:13:09,600 --> 06:13:15,280
the posting rules for consideration for

6571
06:13:12,638 --> 06:13:17,360
for next week.

6572
06:13:15,280 --> 06:13:19,360
I think except for public speakers that

6573
06:13:17,360 --> 06:13:22,718
may be it.

6574
06:13:19,360 --> 06:13:23,440
Am I correct? This has gotten so

6575
06:13:22,718 --> 06:13:26,558
convoluted.

6576
06:13:23,440 --> 06:13:28,160
» Do we

6577
06:13:26,558 --> 06:13:30,480
now? What was on for? Tell me. Okay,

6578
06:13:28,160 --> 06:13:32,000
that's you, right? That's right. You

6579
06:13:30,480 --> 06:13:32,958
told me that. That's why you came up

6580
06:13:32,000 --> 06:13:34,638
here.

6581
06:13:32,958 --> 06:13:36,558
» Yeah. I'm sorry, man.

6582
06:13:34,638 --> 06:13:37,920
» So, come on back. I was reading

6583
06:13:36,558 --> 06:13:40,320
something into the record.

6584
06:13:37,920 --> 06:13:41,440
» Yeah, he told me. He told me.

6585
06:13:40,320 --> 06:13:42,798
» Shar. Thank you.

6586
06:13:41,440 --> 06:13:44,558
» I thought you were crazy when you got up

6587
06:13:42,798 --> 06:13:45,600
there. I was like, why is he up here? He

6588
06:13:44,558 --> 06:13:47,600
doesn't know the name of all these

6589
06:13:45,600 --> 06:13:49,760
Republican election judges.

6590
06:13:47,600 --> 06:13:50,400
» Okay, I'm crazy. You go ahead.

6591
06:13:49,760 --> 06:13:52,400
» No.

6592
06:13:50,400 --> 06:13:55,840
» Uh, this is a request from the civil DA

6593
06:13:52,400 --> 06:13:58,400

6611

» Moved.

6612

6617
06:14:45,360 --> 06:14:49,120
» I.

6618
06:14:45,920 --> 06:14:52,878
» Any opposed? Motion carries unanimously.

6619
06:14:49,120 --> 06:14:56,480
We've still got some public speakers um

6620
06:14:52,878 --> 06:14:59,200
on matters that weren't on our agenda.

6621
06:14:56,480 --> 06:15:01,200
So, um

6622
06:14:59,200 --> 06:15:04,400
» I see Dolores.

6623
06:15:01,200 --> 06:15:04,400
Hey, Dolores.

6624
06:15:04,958 --> 06:15:08,160
That is

6625
06:15:06,798 --> 06:15:10,240
» Oh, you want You've already done it

6626
06:15:08,160 --> 06:15:12,558
though. You want to do it? Oh, you're

6627
06:15:10,240 --> 06:15:14,798
handing out stuff. I got

6628
06:15:12,558 --> 06:15:17,440
» Okay.

06:15:24,160 --> 06:15:28,558

Fortune Square Apartments, Grand

6634
06:15:28,558 --> 06:15:34,558
Prairie, Texas. You have handouts.

6635
06:15:32,480 --> 06:15:37,558
Keep in mind

6636
06:15:34,558 --> 06:15:37,558
DF-92-11850

6637
06:15:42,320 --> 06:15:48,320
255th

6638
06:15:43,920 --> 06:15:52,760
Dallas County Family District Court.

6639
06:15:48,320 --> 06:15:52,760
Keep in mind DF-9211850.

6640
06:15:53,680 --> 06:15:58,240
I also wanted to say before Dr. Ela

6641
06:15:56,000 --> 06:15:59,920
Garcia, I did leave you a message a

6642
06:15:58,240 --> 06:16:03,200
couple of months ago to ask for a

6643
06:15:59,920 --> 06:16:06,798
meeting. I need to meet with you Dr.

6644
06:16:03,200 --> 06:16:09,200
Wong and also Dr. sice of Parkland is

6645
06:16:06,798 --> 06:16:12,798
very serious. It's concerning medical

6646
06:16:09,200 --> 06:16:17,040
gaslighting is present, not just past,

6647
06:16:12,798 --> 06:16:21,840
but recent. Also,

6648
06:16:17,040 --> 06:16:24,000
the handout you have is from the FBI.

6649
06:16:21,840 --> 06:16:27,000
When honorable Judge Warren in

6650
06:16:24,000 --> 06:16:27,000
PR-23-03429-2

6651
06:16:30,080 --> 06:16:35,280
in the guardianship case for my dad, she

6652
06:16:33,120 --> 06:16:37,760
received a phone call in front of me

6653
06:16:35,280 --> 06:16:41,120
just like you sitting on the bench. I

6654
06:16:37,760 --> 06:16:43,920
seen her face go south and sour. She

6655
06:16:41,120 --> 06:16:46,160
launched fullfledged investigations with

6656
06:16:43,920 --> 06:16:48,240
full access. That means that they had

6657
06:16:46,160 --> 06:16:50,718
the right to take orders to go get

6658
06:16:48,240 --> 06:16:53,440
whatever they wanted to.

6659
06:16:50,718 --> 06:16:58,480
I never got not one word or piece of

6660
06:16:53,440 --> 06:17:02,160
anything to respond. Now I got did this

6661
06:16:58,480 --> 06:17:04,878
FBI request for you know what is going

6662
06:17:02,160 --> 06:17:06,958
on. They said you got to send us your

6663
06:17:04,878 --> 06:17:10,558
fingerprints. I went down to Dallas

6664
06:17:06,958 --> 06:17:13,280
County. It took me three sets in 2024

6665
06:17:10,558 --> 06:17:15,760
when I sent them to the FBI.

6666
06:17:13,280 --> 06:17:19,520
I disputed something but I didn't get

6667
06:17:15,760 --> 06:17:21,440
any records until this year. When you

6668
06:17:19,520 --> 06:17:23,840
look at the report, it says that I was

6669
06:17:21,440 --> 06:17:26,160
arrested with someone. I've never been

6670
06:17:23,840 --> 06:17:28,160
in a car in my life, arrested with

6671
06:17:26,160 --> 06:17:30,718
anyone. I don't even know this,

6672
06:17:28,160 --> 06:17:33,120
Stephanie. But here's the kicker. Not

6673
06:17:30,718 --> 06:17:35,600
only do they have a picture of me, they

6674
06:17:33,120 --> 06:17:38,480
have my fingerprints. When I spoke with

6675
06:17:35,600 --> 06:17:40,558
the FBI, she was offended because I

6676
06:17:38,480 --> 06:17:44,000
asked her could she make sure that it

6677
06:17:40,558 --> 06:17:46,558
was not me. She said, "Ma'am, we didn't

6678
06:17:44,000 --> 06:17:49,120
make a mistake. We compared your

6679
06:17:46,558 --> 06:17:52,080
fingerprints, what you sent us with what

6680
06:17:49,120 --> 06:17:54,638
is on file in Iran. That was September

6681
06:17:52,080 --> 06:17:59,680
29th, 2011 that I was supposed to be

6682
06:17:54,638 --> 06:18:01,680
arrested. Remember DPD number 0273291A

6683
06:17:59,680 --> 06:18:04,000
when you said I was down there acting a

6684
06:18:01,680 --> 06:18:06,718
fool using hands and feets as weapons.

6685
06:18:04,000 --> 06:18:11,120
We talking about foul building. Sherry

6686
06:18:06,718 --> 06:18:14,320
Kusumo and Mary Biz Thorne of DPD showed

6687
06:18:11,120 --> 06:18:16,400
me medical records, pharmaceutical

6688
06:18:14,320 --> 06:18:18,718
records from Walgreens that was supposed

6689
06:18:16,400 --> 06:18:20,878
to be mine that's not mine. But you

6690
06:18:18,718 --> 06:18:23,840
filed Bill. We going to rewind and play

6691
06:18:20,878 --> 06:18:26,718
back because you strongmed my dad's

6692
06:18:23,840 --> 06:18:28,400
estate and he was begging for to live.

6693
06:18:26,718 --> 06:18:30,718
But not only did y'all deny

6694
06:18:28,400 --> 06:18:33,200
guardianship, y'all appointed a court

6695
06:18:30,718 --> 06:18:35,520
attorney at Lightum to neglect him to

6696
06:18:33,200 --> 06:18:39,360
further steal his estate before it was

6697
06:18:35,520 --> 06:18:40,320
an estate. It's ugly. FB not FBI not

6698
06:18:39,360 --> 06:18:42,480
liking this.

6699
06:18:40,320 --> 06:18:45,920
» Thank you.

6700
06:18:42,480 --> 06:18:49,680

» Uh you bet. Um, can everybody that's

06:18:55,920 --> 06:18:58,920
John?

6705
06:19:00,558 --> 06:19:05,600
Yeah. No. Okay, great.

Miss Rosalyn Carr.

6712
06:19:16,240 --> 06:19:20,638

All right. Our next speaker,

6716
06:19:27,680 --> 06:19:31,480

Um I'm going to need a name from you.

06:19:43,360 --> 06:19:47,878
Are you online or are you here?

6722
06:19:52,000 --> 06:19:58,240
Okay. Why don't you check with that

time since they registered even though

6727
06:20:06,160 --> 06:20:09,520

saying he's also not outside. So, is

06:20:22,160 --> 06:20:27,520

6744
06:20:49,280 --> 06:20:53,520
your camera.

6745
06:20:51,200 --> 06:20:56,878
» Hey, it's Michael Wigington. Um,

6746
06:20:53,520 --> 06:20:59,920
speaking today about arrest reports from

6747
06:20:56,878 --> 06:21:02,878
your fire marshall's office. Y'all went

6748
06:20:59,920 --> 06:21:06,718
to executive session to discuss a

6749
06:21:02,878 --> 06:21:08,798
specific uh request for information. Uh,

6750
06:21:06,718 --> 06:21:13,040
one will notice the date on that request

6751
06:21:08,798 --> 06:21:15,360
for information is August 12th, 2025.

6752
06:21:13,040 --> 06:21:18,160
Y'all still haven't produced various

6753
06:21:15,360 --> 06:21:20,160
reports from that request.

6754
06:21:18,160 --> 06:21:23,680
You've all been notified. Mr. Martin's

6755
06:21:20,160 --> 06:21:26,320
been notified. Uh, Deputy Director Cho

6756
06:21:23,680 --> 06:21:29,760
of the Civil Division told me personally

6757
06:21:26,320 --> 06:21:33,040
I'd be getting those missing reports

6758
06:21:29,760 --> 06:21:34,798
last week, early last week. I've been

6759
06:21:33,040 --> 06:21:37,680
trying to call him repeatedly since

6760
06:21:34,798 --> 06:21:40,000
then. I have not gotten through. My

6761
06:21:37,680 --> 06:21:42,638
calls are being ignored. Y'all are not

6762
06:21:40,000 --> 06:21:44,878
releasing arrest information. y'all have

6763
06:21:42,638 --> 06:21:47,920
been ordered to release months and

6764
06:21:44,878 --> 06:21:50,000
months and months ago. Earlier today,

6765
06:21:47,920 --> 06:21:52,638
when y'all broke for executive session,

6766
06:21:50,000 --> 06:21:56,000
my sister and I were sitting downstairs.

6767
06:21:52,638 --> 06:22:01,040
Uh we noticed fire marshals arresting

6768
06:21:56,000 --> 06:22:02,642
a person outside. Uh we stood, watched

6769
06:22:01,040 --> 06:22:04,638
patiently, did not disturb

6770
06:22:02,642 --> 06:22:06,320
[clears throat] them for 20 minutes.

6771
06:22:04,638 --> 06:22:08,080
They were wrapping up getting back into

6772
06:22:06,320 --> 06:22:11,280
their cars. We asked, "What are you

6773
06:22:08,080 --> 06:22:13,760
arresting that man for?" They told us,

6774
06:22:11,280 --> 06:22:17,520
"Submit an information request. We don't

6775
06:22:13,760 --> 06:22:19,440
have to answer that."

6776
06:22:17,520 --> 06:22:22,160
It takes over a year to get arrest

6777
06:22:19,440 --> 06:22:25,440
reports from you guys. And yet, you

6778
06:22:22,160 --> 06:22:29,080
won't even answer basic questions about

6779
06:22:25,440 --> 06:22:29,080
who y'all are arresting.

6780
06:22:29,200 --> 06:22:33,440
We already know y'all didn't pass a

6781
06:22:31,360 --> 06:22:35,840
court order to give these people this

6782
06:22:33,440 --> 06:22:38,080
authority. Y'all refused to release

6783
06:22:35,840 --> 06:22:40,958
records on what they're doing with this

6784
06:22:38,080 --> 06:22:43,840
ungranted authority and now y'all are

6785
06:22:40,958 --> 06:22:46,798
wanting to pass more pass a higher tax

6786
06:22:43,840 --> 06:22:50,638
rate to give them more funding to assist

6787
06:22:46,798 --> 06:22:54,958
more people. Uh y'all want to change

6788
06:22:50,638 --> 06:22:57,440
your enforcement of transportation code

6789
06:22:54,958 --> 06:23:00,878
based off the say so of your fire

6790
06:22:57,440 --> 06:23:04,760
marshal who won't give out records of

6791
06:23:00,878 --> 06:23:04,760
what they're doing.

6792
06:23:05,360 --> 06:23:10,480
When when are we going to get our

6793
06:23:07,360 --> 06:23:14,160
records? Thank you.

6794
06:23:10,480 --> 06:23:17,280
» Thank Thank you, Michael. Um

6795
06:23:14,160 --> 06:23:19,760
All right. How about uh let's go back to

6796
06:23:17,280 --> 06:23:22,760
Michelle if she's there. Did you get her

6797
06:23:19,760 --> 06:23:22,760
online?

6798
06:23:24,400 --> 06:23:29,798
» So, you waiting for her camera or you

6799
06:23:26,480 --> 06:23:29,798
can't find her?

6800
06:23:33,920 --> 06:23:38,160
with her right now.

6801
06:23:36,160 --> 06:23:41,760
» Oh, hey, Michael. Don't leave yet. Do

6802
06:23:38,160 --> 06:23:45,120
you have Michelle with you?

6803
06:23:41,760 --> 06:23:48,638
» All right. Well, um, we'll come back to

6804
06:23:45,120 --> 06:23:51,760
that one. Whatever. Uh, Miss Sh, next up

6805
06:23:48,638 --> 06:23:55,320
is Miss Sharon Shepard.

6806
06:23:51,760 --> 06:23:55,320
Come on up, Sharon.

6807
06:24:25,120 --> 06:24:30,320
First of all, giving honor to God who is

6808
06:24:27,600 --> 06:24:34,480
the head of my life. I would like the

6809
06:24:30,320 --> 06:24:39,600
commission court to do an investigation

6810
06:24:34,480 --> 06:24:44,400
to find out how the courts are utilizing

6811
06:24:39,600 --> 06:24:48,320
their time. I have a serious issue. I

6812
06:24:44,400 --> 06:24:52,000
was with uh court number 255, the family

6813
06:24:48,320 --> 06:24:55,120
court. Uh I tried to file several

6814
06:24:52,000 --> 06:24:57,040
motions. I went into the chamber where

6815
06:24:55,120 --> 06:25:01,360
the judge was or went into the courtroom

6816
06:24:57,040 --> 06:25:06,480
where the judge was. She refused to talk

6817
06:25:01,360 --> 06:25:10,000
to me. I talked to her um assistant,

6818
06:25:06,480 --> 06:25:12,480
Miss King. She came out, sent someone

6819
06:25:10,000 --> 06:25:15,680
out. We're going to put your information

6820
06:25:12,480 --> 06:25:19,760
on the docket.

6821
06:25:15,680 --> 06:25:23,520
I filed over several motions that were

6822
06:25:19,760 --> 06:25:26,160
never heard. However,

6823
06:25:23,520 --> 06:25:32,000
there are documentations inside of my

6824
06:25:26,160 --> 06:25:34,558
file that has never been there before.

6825
06:25:32,000 --> 06:25:36,638
Take for instance, I asked the judge to

6826
06:25:34,558 --> 06:25:38,878
recuse herself.

6827
06:25:36,638 --> 06:25:42,558
I'm not going to call the judge's name,

6828
06:25:38,878 --> 06:25:47,120
but there was a judge by the name of D

6829
06:25:42,558 --> 06:25:49,280
that said he heard the recusal on the

6830
06:25:47,120 --> 06:25:52,480
255th court.

6831
06:25:49,280 --> 06:25:56,080
Well, I found out that that particular

6832
06:25:52,480 --> 06:26:00,798
judge and the judge in 255

6833
06:25:56,080 --> 06:26:03,520
have a conflict of interest. They are

6834
06:26:00,798 --> 06:26:07,600
pretty good friends. So, whatever she

6835
06:26:03,520 --> 06:26:09,120
wants, he will allow it. I have

6836
06:26:07,600 --> 06:26:12,558
documents

6837
06:26:09,120 --> 06:26:15,360
that are missing from my court records.

6838
06:26:12,558 --> 06:26:19,040
And I have called Felicia.

6839
06:26:15,360 --> 06:26:21,920
Felicia has not been forthcoming in

6840
06:26:19,040 --> 06:26:25,280
helping to locate those documents. I

6841
06:26:21,920 --> 06:26:28,798
have the e files and I'm saying what

6842
06:26:25,280 --> 06:26:31,680
happened to these files. No one has been

6843
06:26:28,798 --> 06:26:34,400
able to tell me anything. I'm having

6844
06:26:31,680 --> 06:26:38,320
things put in my files and things taken

6845
06:26:34,400 --> 06:26:40,480
out of my files. and I call uh the Texas

6846
06:26:38,320 --> 06:26:45,360
Supreme Court, which that is where my

6847
06:26:40,480 --> 06:26:49,040
case is, but I need all of the records

6848
06:26:45,360 --> 06:26:52,320
in my case in order for it to proceed.

6849
06:26:49,040 --> 06:26:55,200
But we having people over next door

6850
06:26:52,320 --> 06:26:58,240
that's utilizing their courts room 30

6851
06:26:55,200 --> 06:27:01,680
minutes for a divorce, but an hour to

6852
06:26:58,240 --> 06:27:03,520
have a wedding. I walked in to the 255th

6853
06:27:01,680 --> 06:27:05,840
court.

6854
06:27:03,520 --> 06:27:08,638
We're having an hour wedding, but it's

6855
06:27:05,840 --> 06:27:12,558
only 30 minutes for a divorce. I walked

6856
06:27:08,638 --> 06:27:14,798
into the 255th court. Do you have Apple

6857
06:27:12,558 --> 06:27:17,200
Pay? Do you have sales? Do you have

6858
06:27:14,798 --> 06:27:20,478
this? And I'm going like, this courtroom

6859
06:27:17,200 --> 06:27:22,798
is being you utilized for other than

6860
06:27:20,478 --> 06:27:24,958
what it's supposed to be utilized for.

6861
06:27:22,798 --> 06:27:29,240
So, I'm asking for an investigation if

6862
06:27:24,958 --> 06:27:29,240
it's anything possible.

6863
06:27:29,360 --> 06:27:34,080
And by the way, Britney Spears, uh,

6864
06:27:31,520 --> 06:27:37,680
Britney King's aunt, came to me and

6865
06:27:34,080 --> 06:27:40,798
tried to embezzle money from me

6866
06:27:37,680 --> 06:27:44,040
for her to follow motion on my behalf.

6867
06:27:40,798 --> 06:27:44,040
Thank you,

6868
06:27:47,120 --> 06:27:50,120
» Mike.

6869
06:27:51,040 --> 06:27:54,440
» Judge Mike,

6870
06:27:54,478 --> 06:28:00,000
» I thought you were saying something was

6871
06:27:55,840 --> 06:28:01,200
up with Michelle's mic. Uh, so

6872
06:28:00,000 --> 06:28:01,920
too much.

6873
06:28:01,200 --> 06:28:04,400
» She's back.

6874
06:28:01,920 --> 06:28:08,440
» Oh, she's back. Okay. All right. Uh,

6875
06:28:04,400 --> 06:28:08,440
next up is Michelle Wigington.

6876
06:28:09,600 --> 06:28:11,760
» You already started her timer. We need

6877
06:28:11,200 --> 06:28:14,320
to restart.

6878
06:28:11,760 --> 06:28:15,840
» Yeah, res reset her time.

6879
06:28:14,320 --> 06:28:17,360
» This is Michael Wigington still.

6880
06:28:15,840 --> 06:28:19,440
Michelle's called in from her cell

6881
06:28:17,360 --> 06:28:21,120
phone, but she's not here in this room

6882
06:28:19,440 --> 06:28:23,680
with me. She's elsewhere.

6883
06:28:21,120 --> 06:28:25,760
» Can she FaceTime? because the the

6884
06:28:23,680 --> 06:28:29,718
governor requires us to have the face

6885
06:28:25,760 --> 06:28:29,718
for the remote people.

6886
06:28:31,920 --> 06:28:34,798
» I'm not sure.

6887
06:28:33,440 --> 06:28:37,440
» Have her come next. Just tell her

6888
06:28:34,798 --> 06:28:39,120
Michael that she can be online next

6889
06:28:37,440 --> 06:28:41,520

6890
06:28:39,120 --> 06:28:44,000
a camera and a

6891
06:28:41,520 --> 06:28:45,600
you know audio.

6892
06:28:44,000 --> 06:28:46,478
» All right. Well, she's called in right

6893
06:28:45,600 --> 06:28:48,878
now.

6894
06:28:46,478 --> 06:28:50,558
» I know, but I can't do it if I can't see

6895
06:28:48,878 --> 06:28:51,920
her face because of the governor's

6896
06:28:50,558 --> 06:28:53,920
order. See what I'm saying?

6897
06:28:51,920 --> 06:28:54,958
» The governor's order.

6898
06:28:53,920 --> 06:29:00,400
» Okay.

6899
06:28:54,958 --> 06:29:02,718
» Can she get to a screen or a camera?

6900
06:29:00,400 --> 06:29:04,798
» I don't think so right now. She's got

6901
06:29:02,718 --> 06:29:06,400
places to be

6902
06:29:04,798 --> 06:29:07,200
executive session for an hour and a

6903
06:29:06,400 --> 06:29:10,000
half.

6904
06:29:07,200 --> 06:29:10,478
» She signed up for agenda items and uh

6905
06:29:10,000 --> 06:29:13,200
» Okay,

6906
06:29:10,478 --> 06:29:15,440
» Y'all skipped over her then. Uh okay.

6907
06:29:13,200 --> 06:29:17,920
But yep, I'll let you all continue on.

6908
06:29:15,440 --> 06:29:20,958
» Thank you, sir. All right. Next is Miss

6909
06:29:17,920 --> 06:29:24,000
Sharon Shepard.

6910
06:29:20,958 --> 06:29:26,320
Oh, I'm sorry. My brain is fried, guys.

6911
06:29:24,000 --> 06:29:32,040
I'm sorry. I I just talked to Sharon two

6912
06:29:26,320 --> 06:29:32,040
minutes ago. Next is Miss Amina Adamu.

6913
06:29:34,718 --> 06:29:42,120
» Is she here? Amina Adamu. Amina Adamu.

6914
06:29:38,080 --> 06:29:42,120
All right. Um,

Next is M. And I think this one, I beg

6918
06:29:55,040 --> 06:29:59,760

6919
06:29:56,878 --> 06:30:02,240
item and we didn't see it. Uh, this is

6920
06:29:59,760 --> 06:30:04,080

6921
06:30:02,240 --> 06:30:06,798
and this

6922
06:30:04,080 --> 06:30:10,558
Oh, wait a second.

6923
06:30:06,798 --> 06:30:11,840
Okay, never mind. This person just

6924
06:30:10,558 --> 06:30:13,760
thought they need to sign up in case

6925
06:30:11,840 --> 06:30:15,920
somebody asked him a question. So, it

6926
06:30:13,760 --> 06:30:17,360
says, "I will not speak unless asked a

6927
06:30:15,920 --> 06:30:19,840

6928
06:30:17,360 --> 06:30:21,760
