1
00:00:00,740 --> 00:00:03,840
Thank you for spending time with us this morning.

2
00:00:06,610 --> 00:00:22,030
Before we get started, and we're going to have Commissioner Edmonton is going to lead us in our invocation, and I think that'd be great. Before we do, I just want to mention something about what's going on out in West Texas right now.

3
00:00:22,030 --> 00:00:26,930
And I hope you all have been following that when our fellow Texans have been going through

4
00:00:26,930 --> 00:00:31,350
and this morning before Commissioner Edmonton Lee, just her invocation.

5
00:00:31,590 --> 00:00:36,950
I just want to mention that our prayers go out to the families and friends of the two individuals

6
00:00:36,950 --> 00:00:42,090
who lost their lives and the many families and business owners who have lost everything.

7
00:00:43,190 --> 00:00:50,370
To the ongoing fires across the Panhandle of Texas, more than 1,900 square miles

8
00:00:51,110 --> 00:00:56,530
of rural lands surrounding Amarello and even into neighboring Oklahoma have wiped out communities,

9
00:00:56,890 --> 00:01:01,730
businesses, schools, ranchers, and homes. We are grateful for the outpouring of the systems.

10
00:01:02,290 --> 00:01:07,670
Many across the great state have provided and know it will continue in the weeks and months

11
00:01:07,670 --> 00:01:12,790
to come. Several didn't county firefighters and paramedics have been called into assist

12
00:01:12,790 --> 00:01:17,810
as well as our own didn't county office of emergency management, where we have two individuals

13
00:01:17,810 --> 00:01:23,430
on-site assisting with the coordination of efforts to contain these wildfires and so please

14
00:01:23,430 --> 00:01:28,230
keep both of those fighting the fires and those affected by the fires and your thoughts and

15
00:01:28,230 --> 00:01:32,750
prayers and at this time I'd like to welcome Commissioner Edmonton to lead us in our

16
00:01:32,750 --> 00:01:33,790
invocation this morning.

17
00:01:34,070 --> 00:01:36,270
We're reminded by the police turn off your cell phones.

18
00:01:40,770 --> 00:01:41,430
Good morning.

19
00:01:42,290 --> 00:01:47,110
Dear gracious Heavenly Father, first of all I ask you blessings and protection for all

20
00:01:47,110 --> 00:01:52,210
our military personnel and also our first responders, especially those in West Texas.

21
00:01:52,990 --> 00:01:56,630
Thank you for those who are teachers, caregivers, and those who need care.

22
00:01:56,850 --> 00:01:58,530
Please bless and protect them too.

23
00:01:59,230 --> 00:02:03,910
Thank you for this day that you have made so beautiful and appealing for us to get out today

24
00:02:03,910 --> 00:02:04,670
and vote.

25
00:02:05,450 --> 00:02:10,410
We thank you Father for your divine guidance more than 200 years ago, as you inspired our

26
00:02:10,410 --> 00:02:14,010
forefathers in defending our amazing United States.

27
00:02:14,010 --> 00:02:20,330
We know Father the all-whole and roles of governing are put there by you for such a time as this.

28
00:02:21,070 --> 00:02:24,470
These are volatile times, Lord. Help us through them.

29
00:02:24,710 --> 00:02:29,650
And let us seek Father to be pacemakers rather than those who contribute to the chaos.

30
00:02:30,650 --> 00:02:34,370
So Father, as we citizens vote today, let us seek your guidance.

31
00:02:35,150 --> 00:02:43,010
And when we learn the results of today's voting, let us recall that you have put these various people into these various positions of authority.

32
00:02:43,010 --> 00:02:50,670
And that is gratefully accepted results, whichever way they go, and that is coming together as Americans, as Texans.

33
00:02:51,490 --> 00:02:57,070
Please give this commission's court your blessings, and show each of us how best to serve the citizens of didn't county.

34
00:02:57,890 --> 00:03:02,390
Thank you for allowing us to live in this time, in this county, and in this country.

35
00:03:02,950 --> 00:03:06,790
We ask for your continued protection, and the blessed name of your son, Jesus.

36
00:03:07,550 --> 00:03:07,610
Amen.

37
00:03:07,610 --> 00:03:08,390
I'm going to

38
00:03:13,350 --> 00:03:14,950
introduce, do it in

39
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:18,740
Michael.

40
00:03:19,340 --> 00:03:23,560
Dumbus, our system, farm martial, is going to lead us in our pledges.

41
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:24,580
Thank you, Michael, for being here.

42
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:27,160
Good morning.

43
00:03:27,300 --> 00:03:29,720
Please join me in the pledge of allegiance to United States.

44
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:35,460
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, to the Republic

45
00:03:35,460 --> 00:03:41,320
for which it stands, one nation, under God, with liberty, whatever it is,

46
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:46,200
and now the Texas flag.

47
00:03:46,940 --> 00:03:55,440
Honored the taxes by pledge allegiance to the taxes, one state under God, one and indivisible.

48
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:08,360
Right, I'd like.

49
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,480
Let's go to item one for public input for items not listed on the agenda.

50
00:04:12,540 --> 00:04:14,060
We have two registered speakers today.

51
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,220
Our first is Mr. Willy Hatsford.

52
00:04:41,130 --> 00:04:42,550
What is our hand?

53
00:04:44,170 --> 00:04:45,870
Commissioner, my name is Willy Hatsford.

54
00:04:46,070 --> 00:04:47,010
I live at 623.

55
00:04:47,990 --> 00:04:48,330
Three.

56
00:04:48,330 --> 00:04:53,680
I didn't get to finish what I was trying to say yesterday.

57
00:04:53,900 --> 00:04:57,580
I was attempting to communicate to you in a way

58
00:04:57,580 --> 00:05:05,020
where you knew how much and why it means so much to me

59
00:05:05,020 --> 00:05:12,100
to have the former slave cemetery up camp

60
00:05:12,100 --> 00:05:20,120
and to allow access to us meeting the individuals

61
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:29,940
any individual to have access to that cemetery for upkeep, helping with the upkeep, keep

62
00:05:29,940 --> 00:05:39,080
and just having a quiet time with those individuals that were buried there and seemed like

63
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:49,740
they were forgotten. And I thought that the example I was attempting to give to let you see

64
00:05:49,740 --> 00:05:58,320
how I feel so passionate about that cemetery, but again I didn't get a chance to finish

65
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:08,180
that and what I realized after leaving is that you don't have that same might not have

66
00:06:08,180 --> 00:06:19,340
that same feeling about the cemetery and for different reasons, and I don't know what

67
00:06:19,340 --> 00:06:27,780
those are, and I assume they're okay, so I'm not dealing here dealing with that today.

68
00:06:28,900 --> 00:06:33,780
But I would like to address my main concerns again.

69
00:06:33,780 --> 00:06:50,170
The access, free access to this cemetery and some way of removing the allowing us to remember what those individuals went through.

70
00:06:50,430 --> 00:06:56,300
They were slaves and they came to a pile of point to find a way

71
00:06:59,050 --> 00:07:07,210
of making a living to earn money for the first time for many of them and to be a homes in a cop to step.

72
00:07:07,210 --> 00:07:18,070
But then, something happened that they had to leave very quickly from that where they were and what they, the community are accomplished.

73
00:07:19,750 --> 00:07:23,670
And they seemed to have been to have been forgotten.

74
00:07:25,910 --> 00:07:27,070
And I don't want that to happen.

75
00:07:29,500 --> 00:07:36,620
So I was trying to let you know what I am experiencing with the effort up there.

76
00:07:37,780 --> 00:07:48,020
And as I was beginning to explain to you, I was 17 years old when I was drafted in the military.

77
00:07:48,820 --> 00:07:51,520
But those of you don't know what that means, drafted.

78
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:58,860
You're selected, and you must serve, and if you don't go and serve,

79
00:07:59,300 --> 00:08:07,110
serve in other words, saying, fight their arms and try to stop another individual from living.

80
00:08:07,110 --> 00:08:11,710
Mr. Thomas, if you're going to finish your thought to your three minutes, is that

81
00:08:11,710 --> 00:08:13,350
but go ahead and finish your thought to please serve.

82
00:08:13,730 --> 00:08:18,270
So then, if you don't go then you have to, you'll go to prison.

83
00:08:18,790 --> 00:08:22,810
So I went and I'll have to finish the rest of the next time.

84
00:08:23,050 --> 00:08:23,590
Yes, sir.

85
00:08:24,050 --> 00:08:24,810
Thank you for being here.

86
00:08:25,150 --> 00:08:26,410
Thank you, sir.

87
00:08:31,580 --> 00:08:35,540
Our next Richard Speaker for item one is Chelsea Stollings.

88
00:08:51,690 --> 00:08:51,930
Good morning.

89
00:08:51,950 --> 00:08:52,970
Good morning, commissioners.

90
00:08:53,090 --> 00:08:53,690
Good morning, Judge.

91
00:08:53,770 --> 00:08:54,870
My name is Chelsea Stollings.

92
00:08:54,870 --> 00:08:57,150
I live in Dentont, Texas, 760-01.

93
00:08:57,810 --> 00:08:59,590
I am with Mr. Headsmith here this morning.

94
00:08:59,830 --> 00:09:01,910
I'm just going to reiterate what he is asking.

95
00:09:02,290 --> 00:09:05,850
We are asking to have an agenda item for a public access

96
00:09:05,850 --> 00:09:08,730
to the St. John Cemetery up on pilot point.

97
00:09:09,370 --> 00:09:12,130
We stay and remain interested in understanding

98
00:09:12,130 --> 00:09:14,390
what these people's lived experiences were

99
00:09:14,390 --> 00:09:17,450
as they were building their lives and their families

100
00:09:17,450 --> 00:09:19,810
and their futures and the generations

101
00:09:19,810 --> 00:09:21,670
and decades outside of enslavement.

102
00:09:21,870 --> 00:09:24,310
So we are, again, just asking for this to be an agenda item

103
00:09:24,310 --> 00:09:27,270
so that we can have a public back-and-forth discussion.

104
00:09:27,730 --> 00:09:28,470
Thank you very much.

105
00:09:28,810 --> 00:09:30,070
Perfect, thank you.

106
00:09:33,100 --> 00:09:35,520
All right, our next registered speaker

107
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,240
is Steven Dillonburg.

108
00:09:49,740 --> 00:09:51,080
We just second here.

109
00:10:27,220 --> 00:10:27,340
Good morning.

110
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,580
I named Steven Dillonburg, 2004, Abbott's Lane Dillon.

111
00:10:31,700 --> 00:10:33,060
I don't know if any of you all know who's

112
00:10:33,060 --> 00:10:34,780
civil looting, looting tennis?

113
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:36,260
Let me make sure that's right.

114
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,980
Paula Revere is what I like to call her.

115
00:10:41,740 --> 00:10:43,860
This is something that's not taught to us in school,

116
00:10:43,860 --> 00:10:47,000
but maybe something that some Texans might find interesting.

117
00:10:47,300 --> 00:10:51,240
This is one of the, so I went back and I pulled my mom's daughters

118
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,100
at the American Revolution paperwork for y'all.

119
00:10:53,740 --> 00:10:57,640
So let's go back to 1640, my family has defended this country.

120
00:10:57,980 --> 00:11:02,840
And we continue to this day, against all enemies

121
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:06,720
foreign and domestic, like attorneys, add little.

122
00:11:10,060 --> 00:11:12,640
This is what oaths to the Constitution look like.

123
00:11:13,060 --> 00:11:14,440
I haven't seen them from y'all,

124
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,320
and I requested them in excess of a year ago now.

125
00:11:19,940 --> 00:11:21,360
Civil Lootington,

126
00:11:24,820 --> 00:11:26,140
Paul Revere was not the only patriot

127
00:11:26,140 --> 00:11:29,200
who rode by night to warn a peril, civil Lootington.

128
00:11:29,380 --> 00:11:33,080
One but 16 is reported to have ridden 40 miles to muster

129
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,460
the militia commanded by her father, Colonel Henry Lootington.

130
00:11:37,300 --> 00:11:41,260
This elirted the militia formed to fight the British

131
00:11:41,260 --> 00:11:43,300
returning from the sack of Dan'sberry,

132
00:11:43,780 --> 00:11:45,360
Connecticut in 1777.

133
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:47,980
The British lost a tenth of their forces

134
00:11:47,980 --> 00:11:52,900
to the militiamen and we're forced to retreat to the safety of ships at fair field.

135
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:58,220
I'll get you guys a copy of this DAR stuff, it's my grandmother, that's a Murdoch

136
00:11:58,220 --> 00:12:04,280
Wright Vanderbord's daughter, it's real quick,

137
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:10,600
I was curious because I was looking at the

138
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:15,160
policies for addressing you all and it says that you all are both an executive and the legislative

139
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:21,380
body and I would like to know where judge, so obviously you've got some judicial authority

140
00:12:21,380 --> 00:12:28,620
there too. We're in the Constitution, does it grant y'all the power to exercise conflicting

141
00:12:29,580 --> 00:12:35,760
authorities, because the with three branches of government and my correct in that assumption

142
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:41,700
judge, go ahead and complete your thoughts. That's my I'm asking your questions sir. This is

143
00:12:41,700 --> 00:12:45,540
for your opportunity to speak to the public, we're not answering your questions, but go ahead and proceed.

144
00:12:45,700 --> 00:12:49,820
You can't make a statement policy, statement fact, go ahead and finish your thoughts.

145
00:12:49,820 --> 00:12:56,800
I think the code says that you can make a statement of policy or facts or go ahead and complete your things.

146
00:12:58,420 --> 00:12:59,540
This is the problem, guys.

147
00:13:00,180 --> 00:13:04,120
We have people that just won't engage in stuff that's very important.

148
00:13:04,460 --> 00:13:05,880
I think the cure for cancer is being hidden.

149
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,800
That's pretty much fact at this point.

150
00:13:10,060 --> 00:13:11,660
And these people won't engage in the conversation.

151
00:13:12,420 --> 00:13:15,340
I think the code is a lot different than we were told.

152
00:13:15,340 --> 00:13:20,520
my mother had a stroke five days after receiving dose one of Pfizer's poison.

153
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:28,480
You can listen to my conversation with Matt Richardson at tinyURL.com slash p-huck Pfizer.

154
00:13:29,380 --> 00:13:34,160
Thank you for being here. Your time is up. It's amazing.

155
00:13:35,860 --> 00:13:37,640
Amazing. It is.

156
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,300
All right. It sits up there with a smile.

157
00:13:45,580 --> 00:13:48,760
Members, next we'll go to,

158
00:14:04,530 --> 00:14:05,090
perfect.

159
00:14:05,510 --> 00:14:06,130
Thank you.

160
00:14:12,420 --> 00:14:20,460
All right, next we'll go to item 3A, which is approval of a Proclamation Recognizing Developmental Disabilities Inclusion Month.

161
00:14:21,140 --> 00:14:25,400
And we do have Pam Gutierrez with our Didn't County MHMR.

162
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,120
And I believe she's got some special guests with her as well.

163
00:14:28,460 --> 00:14:31,560
Pam, do you want to introduce our guests before we read the Proclamation?

164
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:33,240
Yes, so best.

I am the Senior Director of the Behavioral Health Services.

190
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:27,620
Aaron Posey, CHRO.

191
00:16:30,050 --> 00:16:31,790

192
00:16:31,790 --> 00:16:34,790

197
00:16:51,930 --> 00:16:52,690
Good, good, good, good.

198
00:16:52,950 --> 00:16:57,350
So you can see they have a lot of passion and we are so appreciative of you all,

199
00:16:57,570 --> 00:17:02,730
because you all speak for individuals that have no voice at all.

200
00:17:02,730 --> 00:17:08,070
And so we're very grateful for the commissioners and judge honoring us today.

201
00:17:08,510 --> 00:17:08,750
Thank you.

202
00:17:09,010 --> 00:17:10,050
Thank you.

203
00:17:10,230 --> 00:17:10,250
All right.

204
00:17:10,450 --> 00:17:12,730
Let me I'll read this.

205
00:17:13,390 --> 00:17:14,770
We'll proclamation on behalf of the court.

206
00:17:14,790 --> 00:17:18,430
This is a court proclamation regarding developmental disabilities.

207
00:17:18,750 --> 00:17:19,790
Inclusion month.

208
00:17:20,250 --> 00:17:23,230
And whereas individuals with developmental disabilities are valued.

209
00:17:23,450 --> 00:17:25,390
Contribute members of our community.

210
00:17:26,210 --> 00:17:30,790
And whereas collaboration, education, employment, and home and community-based services

211
00:17:30,790 --> 00:17:36,090
are vital to enable people with developmental disabilities to achieve a self-determined and

212
00:17:36,090 --> 00:17:37,810
valued lifestyle.

213
00:17:38,490 --> 00:17:43,150
Whereas with appropriate support, all people can be productive, engage in a contributing

214
00:17:43,150 --> 00:17:44,650
members of the community.

215
00:17:45,530 --> 00:17:49,970
Whereas individuals, families, organizations, and advocates in our community are committed

216
00:17:49,970 --> 00:17:57,130
to supporting and empowering people with developmental disabilities as may be needed to live a

217
00:17:57,130 --> 00:18:02,670
life like other citizens of didn't county, and whereas Texas communities thrive when inclusion

218
00:18:02,670 --> 00:18:04,650
becomes a way of life.

219
00:18:05,190 --> 00:18:10,330
Each year we dedicate the month of March in raising awareness about developmental disabilities

220
00:18:10,330 --> 00:18:16,530
and emphasizing the importance of including people of all abilities in every aspect of

221
00:18:16,530 --> 00:18:17,250
our lives.

222
00:18:17,710 --> 00:18:23,110
Whereas during this month, Texas can raise awareness about how classrooms work places, houses

223
00:18:23,110 --> 00:18:28,490
of worship and communities are more vital when they include people of all abilities.

224
00:18:29,290 --> 00:18:34,090
Whereas, at this time, we encourage Texans to come together to increase awareness about

225
00:18:34,090 --> 00:18:38,890
developmental disabilities and support full inclusion and equality for all.

226
00:18:39,270 --> 00:18:42,350
Now, therefore, be it resolved that the Democratic Commissioner's Court does here by

227
00:18:42,350 --> 00:18:49,370
proclaim March 2024 as developmental disabilities inclusion, modern and courage, all residents

228
00:18:49,370 --> 00:18:54,230
to recognize and permit as a value and potential of people with developmental disabilities

229
00:18:54,730 --> 00:18:58,210
and include them in all aspects of community life.

230
00:18:58,830 --> 00:19:00,890
We've done an open court, this is a fifth day of March.

231
00:19:01,410 --> 00:19:05,550
Twenty, twenty, four upon a motion made by motion by Commissioner Mitchell.

232
00:19:06,170 --> 00:19:07,370
Second, by Commissioner Faulkner.

233
00:19:08,330 --> 00:19:11,190
Well, Pam and your whole team, I just want to thank you all for being here.

234
00:19:11,210 --> 00:19:14,070
It's always great to have you all in the courthouse.

235
00:19:14,070 --> 00:19:19,550
and it's, I think it's just a visual demonstration of our partnership that we work on 365 days

236
00:19:19,550 --> 00:19:24,870
a year on a continuing basis and so I want to thank you for all that you do and you are

237
00:19:24,870 --> 00:19:35,890
you two are voices for people of all levels of the ability. So thank you. Thank you. Thank you, thank

238
00:19:35,890 --> 00:19:42,390
you for the work that you do here in Get County. There are so many people here that need your services

239
00:19:42,390 --> 00:19:49,690
And we don't know all the people that are here, but you are reaching out and helping people and that's what we need to do in Den County.

240
00:19:49,910 --> 00:19:54,410
Every member, every person on the third of valuable people.

241
00:19:55,570 --> 00:19:56,650
We may have disabilities.

242
00:19:57,430 --> 00:20:01,250
As we look around the room and look at myself, I may have a disability.

243
00:20:02,130 --> 00:20:05,290
But the people who really need help, you're helping.

244
00:20:05,790 --> 00:20:09,870
Keep up the good work and please know that the Commissioner's Court are here.

245
00:20:09,870 --> 00:20:14,690
Those are our people, you are our people, and that's what we're supposed to do, to make

246
00:20:14,690 --> 00:20:21,810
Nen County a better place, and it starts with people like you, all that are reaching out to other people,

247
00:20:22,390 --> 00:20:27,350
all of us are different in some kind of way, but we're all God's children. And so we need to make sure

248
00:20:27,350 --> 00:20:33,570
that we take care of our own, and you all are doing that in Nen County. Thank you. Thank you.

249
00:20:36,650 --> 00:20:37,530
Thank you, Ms.

250
00:20:37,530 --> 00:20:44,730
you do what I've learned so much in my short time as a commissioner and then also prior to that,

251
00:20:44,770 --> 00:20:51,730
but just how important the things are that you do. These are people who don't have a voice

252
00:20:51,730 --> 00:20:58,210
and you all step up for them and we appreciate what you do so much. Thank you all so much.

253
00:21:02,270 --> 00:21:07,210
Thank you,

254
00:21:07,210 --> 00:21:12,390
many people need your help and how few people really know that you're there to help.

255
00:21:13,030 --> 00:21:18,130
So we hope to begin a line of communication with our constituents, they'll make them

256
00:21:18,130 --> 00:21:20,010
more aware of the good that you can do.

257
00:21:20,410 --> 00:21:21,530
Thanks for everything.

258
00:21:21,850 --> 00:21:22,970
Really appreciate your help.

259
00:21:23,090 --> 00:21:23,790
It's a great point.

260
00:21:23,950 --> 00:21:25,050
I had a panel.

261
00:21:25,230 --> 00:21:29,610
If someone needs to reach out to MHMR, which I was phone number, so we can...

262
00:21:29,610 --> 00:21:30,210
1-800.

263
00:21:30,650 --> 00:21:31,670
This is the hotline number.

264
00:21:31,670 --> 00:21:32,290
The hotline.

265
00:21:32,630 --> 00:21:33,310
1-800.

266
00:21:33,550 --> 00:21:36,210
7-6-205-7.

267
00:21:36,210 --> 00:21:39,910
and then there's always 988 which is a very important number.

268
00:21:40,190 --> 00:21:40,210
Okay.

269
00:21:41,410 --> 00:21:41,810
Perfect.

270
00:21:42,310 --> 00:21:42,390
Great.

271
00:21:42,890 --> 00:21:44,390
Thank you so much for your folks.

272
00:21:45,350 --> 00:21:46,050
Thank you.

273
00:21:46,270 --> 00:21:46,350
Thank you.

274
00:21:46,350 --> 00:21:46,910
Very good.

275
00:21:46,950 --> 00:21:47,130
All right.

276
00:21:47,230 --> 00:21:49,690
We have a motion and a second to join, I add anything else, Pam.

277
00:21:49,930 --> 00:21:49,970
Thank you.

278
00:21:50,290 --> 00:21:50,590
Thank you.

279
00:21:50,850 --> 00:21:52,570
We have a motion, a second, any other discussion.

280
00:21:53,250 --> 00:21:54,210
All in favor say aye.

281
00:21:54,270 --> 00:21:55,130
Any opposed?

282
00:21:55,550 --> 00:21:55,970
Motion carries you.

283
00:21:56,070 --> 00:21:56,590
Thank you.

284
00:21:56,850 --> 00:21:57,930
Why don't we do a picture here?

285
00:21:58,170 --> 00:21:58,430
You're all.

286
00:21:58,770 --> 00:22:00,390
Please up front here.

287
00:22:05,410 --> 00:22:06,370
You can see, ma'am.

288
00:22:06,590 --> 00:22:06,950
Good to see you.

289
00:22:07,370 --> 00:22:07,650
Thank you.

290
00:22:09,050 --> 00:22:09,590
I'm sorry.

291
00:22:09,590 --> 00:22:10,910
I think we're going to do it up here.

292
00:22:12,170 --> 00:22:12,990
Just mail.

293
00:22:13,610 --> 00:22:14,790
Thank you.

294
00:22:16,210 --> 00:22:16,870
Thank you.

295
00:22:18,010 --> 00:22:18,970
I think the pictures of me.

296
00:22:19,030 --> 00:22:21,130
I don't want to feel like you know, where are you?

297
00:22:21,550 --> 00:22:21,830
I don't want to.

298
00:22:24,050 --> 00:22:25,290
Well, little sticks.

299
00:22:25,490 --> 00:22:26,150
I need it to.

300
00:22:26,230 --> 00:22:27,190
I would have worn orange.

301
00:22:28,430 --> 00:22:28,910
Over there.

302
00:22:30,470 --> 00:22:30,630
Yeah.

303
00:22:30,630 --> 00:22:30,870
Yeah.

304
00:22:31,870 --> 00:22:34,170
We're going to have.

305
00:22:36,690 --> 00:22:37,230
All right.

306
00:22:39,370 --> 00:22:45,430
Yeah, I've got to wear it more than time, I'm going to ride it up on you, isn't it?

307
00:22:50,210 --> 00:22:50,650
Yeah.

308
00:22:50,930 --> 00:22:52,670
Your color is orange, and I got it.

309
00:22:53,830 --> 00:22:54,550
Yeah, I did.

310
00:22:55,110 --> 00:22:58,230
I remember, we were out of one of...

311
00:22:59,070 --> 00:22:59,350
Time.

312
00:23:00,010 --> 00:23:02,070
I think I got the little...

313
00:23:02,070 --> 00:23:04,970
Yeah, we got the last one.

314
00:23:04,970 --> 00:23:05,270
on.

315
00:23:08,650 --> 00:23:14,930
Okay, everyone, look, the dawn is straight ahead. We'll take a picture with dawn first

316
00:23:14,930 --> 00:23:18,110
and then we'll look up and get one of the air. Okay, so I think dawn's got some nice camera.

317
00:23:26,020 --> 00:23:27,000
All right, let's look up for air.

318
00:23:27,540 --> 00:23:27,900
Hello.

319
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,420
Thank you all. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, appreciate it.

320
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:43,900
I didn't have anything.

321
00:23:45,140 --> 00:23:45,980
I'm sorry.

322
00:23:45,980 --> 00:23:47,060
This man.

323
00:23:49,120 --> 00:23:49,560
Absolutely.

324
00:23:50,120 --> 00:23:51,420
Can we, we were talking to you?

325
00:23:51,420 --> 00:23:51,980
There is.

326
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:53,040
Thank you all so much.

327
00:23:53,780 --> 00:23:54,460
Thank you, man.

328
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:56,080
I appreciate it.

329
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:56,400
Yeah.

330
00:23:56,820 --> 00:23:57,700
This is what I have for you.

331
00:23:57,980 --> 00:23:58,200
Yeah.

332
00:23:59,180 --> 00:24:00,740
I need to have that.

333
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:02,320
I have a mind.

334
00:24:02,580 --> 00:24:03,960
I have this spot with them all.

335
00:24:04,500 --> 00:24:05,700
So I'll take them and put them up.

336
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:06,320
But I forgot.

337
00:24:06,540 --> 00:24:07,060
What about this one?

338
00:24:08,060 --> 00:24:09,320
That totally forgot.

339
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:14,160
I don't remember remembering those things.

340
00:24:14,300 --> 00:24:15,480
Just say, hey, if you

341
00:24:19,740 --> 00:24:20,660
want to be here, wouldn't it?

342
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:24,940
So maybe one of our own stuff.

343
00:24:25,360 --> 00:24:25,640
Well, actually.

344
00:24:32,790 --> 00:24:33,710
Oh, OK.

345
00:24:43,260 --> 00:24:43,780
All right.

346
00:24:46,980 --> 00:24:50,460
Next, let's go to item 3B, which is approval of a Proclamation

347
00:24:50,460 --> 00:24:53,980
Recognizing March as American Red Cross Mother.

348
00:24:53,980 --> 00:24:55,600
I think we have from our Red Cross here.

349
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,060
I know we have somebody for people here.

350
00:24:58,540 --> 00:24:58,780
Red Cross.

351
00:24:58,960 --> 00:24:59,440
Good morning.

352
00:25:00,140 --> 00:25:06,080
the right crosses in the house. I feel better already. Do you want to introduce yourself?

353
00:25:06,180 --> 00:25:07,200
Thank you for being here.

354
00:25:09,710 --> 00:25:13,350
Good morning. Good morning. Good morning Judge. Good morning everyone.

355
00:25:13,670 --> 00:25:21,110
In the room I'm Grace Ramazani. I am one of the disaster program managers for the Terran County

356
00:25:21,110 --> 00:25:29,570
Cook County and Dennt County. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. So the commissioner is

357
00:25:29,570 --> 00:25:35,930
My name is Michael Barber. I'm a volunteer this after supervising with the rent cross with those counties that Grace mentioned.

358
00:25:36,630 --> 00:25:39,610
Thank you, Michael. Thank you for being here.

359
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:45,780
Do we want to acknowledge our camera or friend with us?

360
00:25:46,380 --> 00:25:48,140
I don't think you're just camera.

361
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,100
No, that's Mark V camera guy.

362
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:51,300
Alright, good camera.

363
00:25:52,700 --> 00:25:54,170
Welcome. We're glad to have you all here.

364
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:56,560
I'll read this proclamation.

365
00:25:56,560 --> 00:26:03,480
This is a core proclamation recognized in March as American Red Cross Month, and we're

366
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:09,920
as every March, the American Red Cross recognizes the compassion of people across the nation

367
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:14,280
and celebrates their commitment to care for one another in times of crisis.

368
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,820
This annual tradition has taken place since 1943.

369
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:24,360
When President Franklin, Delano Roosevelt, issued the first Red Cross Month proclamation,

370
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:30,380
Kindhearted volunteers and didn't counting throughout the Red Cross DFW Metro West

371
00:26:30,380 --> 00:26:34,780
chapter step up and provide a beacon of hope for our neighbors here in

372
00:26:34,780 --> 00:26:39,860
North Texas. And whereas last year alone the DFW Metro West chapter

373
00:26:39,860 --> 00:26:47,700
assisted 666 families while responding to more than 425 disasters to deliver

374
00:26:47,700 --> 00:26:53,860
shelter, food and comfort. And whereas 544 blood drives were held by Red Cross

375
00:26:53,860 --> 00:27:01,540
blood hosts in 2023 collecting more than 11,000 units of blood across multiple counties, to

376
00:27:01,540 --> 00:27:09,160
ensure new moms, cancer patients, and accident victims had access to safe life-saving

377
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:09,900
blood.

378
00:27:10,100 --> 00:27:16,620
And whereas in 2023, the Red Cross proudly supported more than 2,300 North Texan military

379
00:27:16,620 --> 00:27:22,600
members, veterans and their families and caregivers to cope with the challenges of service.

380
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:31,780
Or as 18,703 people were enrolled in Red Cross 1st 8 CPR in AED training courses, helping

381
00:27:31,780 --> 00:27:36,960
to make the DFW Metro West chapter more resilient in the event of a disaster.

382
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:44,940
And whereas 1,472 North Texas Red Cross volunteers, the lifeblood of Red Cross responded

383
00:27:44,940 --> 00:27:50,600
to the call to provide relief to families who experienced the worst days of their lives.

384
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:58,180
Now, therefore, a B.A. resolved the didn't county commission's court does here by proclaim the month of March as American Red Cross Month.

385
00:27:58,300 --> 00:28:04,020
We call upon all citizens to reach out and support the humanitarian mission of the American Red Cross.

386
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:08,460
Then, in open court, this is the fifth day of March, 2020, 24 upon a motion by the chair.

387
00:28:09,300 --> 00:28:10,580
Second, second by Commissioner Williams.

388
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:17,000
Well, I think it's very appropriate you are here today because we also have our emergency management team here.

389
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:23,420
You know, we're going to be doing whether aware in this week or just a moment, and I say that

390
00:28:23,420 --> 00:28:27,820
because you are such partners of ours, you know, you are partners of ours, and y'all take

391
00:28:27,820 --> 00:28:32,600
y'all love our residents, you take care of our residents, and not only in a staff position,

392
00:28:33,740 --> 00:28:39,880
but leveraging the thousands of volunteers, which I'll try and so we congratulate you and

393
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:46,860
want to say thank you and encourage all residents to say thank you and volunteer when they

394
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:52,400
I want to say one of the most valuable things you guys offer is the blood drives.

395
00:28:53,020 --> 00:28:55,160
We're having one of the largest shortages ever.

396
00:28:55,960 --> 00:29:00,080
And it's so imperative that we get that out there and that people understand that we do need that blood.

397
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:01,520
I'll give all the time.

398
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:05,620
And it's an necessity, unfortunately, but it's what we need to do.

399
00:29:06,100 --> 00:29:08,300
And so thank you so much for that as well.

400
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:09,420
Thank you for joining us.

401
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:10,320
Thank you.

402
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:11,280
Thank you all.

403
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:14,620
I want to thank you for the work that you do.

404
00:29:14,620 --> 00:29:19,080
Red Cross has been around longer than I have and that's a long time, no comments could.

405
00:29:20,620 --> 00:29:27,340
And I just want to thank you and it got personal two weeks ago because a friend of mine's

406
00:29:27,340 --> 00:29:34,800
brother, a poitment burned and he lost everything and Red Cross was there to help him.

407
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:40,800
She lives in Louisville and he lives in another city and she was asking for clothes that he

408
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:43,020
in close and red crowd stepped up.

409
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:48,000
So I just want to thank you for all that you do, all the volunteers that get out and work

410
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,040
and make things better when you have a disaster.

411
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:54,180
I hope I never need you, but if I do, I'm glad you're there.

412
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:54,700
Thanks a lot.

413
00:29:54,860 --> 00:29:55,540
I don't have a little bit here.

414
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:56,280
That's right.

415
00:29:56,380 --> 00:29:56,800
That's right.

416
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:57,840
We're good.

417
00:29:58,300 --> 00:29:58,500
Okay.

418
00:29:59,220 --> 00:29:59,720
Well, any other kind of...

419
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:06,000
All right, all in favor say aye. Any opposed? Motion carries unanimously. Thank you.

420
00:31:07,450 --> 00:31:08,170
Speaking

421
00:31:26,730 --> 00:31:33,430
of the emergency management, Mark, if you're all's a group wants to come up.

422
00:31:33,430 --> 00:31:43,430
We have item 3C which is approval of a proclamation recognized in the week of March the 4th to the 8th, 2020 for his emergent as severe weather awareness week.

423
00:31:45,330 --> 00:31:48,770
And Mark Bowlin and he is one of our assistant.

424
00:31:50,150 --> 00:31:51,430
What is your exact title, Mark?

425
00:31:51,590 --> 00:31:51,970
I can't remember.

426
00:31:52,850 --> 00:31:58,590
Existing coordinator for emergency management and Eric Hadmacher and Samantha are out.

427
00:31:59,170 --> 00:32:02,370
Actually representing us and helping the Texas Department of Emergency Management out.

428
00:32:02,370 --> 00:32:08,650
was Texas, so locally, we're led by Mark here and he's doing a great job this week.

429
00:32:09,190 --> 00:32:11,990
So, Mark did you want to add anything before we read this proclamation?

430
00:32:13,150 --> 00:32:20,650
If you don't mind, I really don't want to run your super Tuesday, just to let the weather.

431
00:32:22,010 --> 00:32:29,750
So, you know, the old saying is that spring comes in like a line, it needs like a lamb

432
00:32:29,750 --> 00:32:36,310
but in Texas, it comes in like a lion, and it leaves like a bitter, angry lion that's been

433
00:32:36,310 --> 00:32:37,450
pelted by Hellstone.

434
00:32:38,270 --> 00:32:47,710
So, we come into severe weather awareness week, and I was trying to think of a way to kind

435
00:32:47,710 --> 00:32:55,290
of highlight some of the hazards that we might face over the coming months, and being Texans,

436
00:32:55,290 --> 00:33:07,050
We understand that everything is on the table when it comes to the severe weather, hails, thunderstorms, tornadoes, flooding, and all of that.

437
00:33:07,290 --> 00:33:13,170
And so one of the ways that I thought I'd highlight this is I'd take a look at what just what we experienced last year.

438
00:33:13,790 --> 00:33:21,990
So from the period from the first of March to the end of May, we had two full emergency operations, center activations.

439
00:33:21,990 --> 00:33:29,490
and we had ten partial activations of that three-month period, and that was brought about by three

440
00:33:30,230 --> 00:33:38,410
tornado watches, multiple thunderstorms of your thunderstorm watches, which later manifested into

441
00:33:38,410 --> 00:33:49,330
19 severe thunderstorm warnings, and there was one thunderstorm that came through exactly a year ago this week,

442
00:33:49,330 --> 00:33:54,930
and actually judge-eats and his son Everett joined us into the POC for this.

443
00:33:55,470 --> 00:34:02,250
And it kind of gives you an idea of the flavor of what we can face over the course of the next few months.

444
00:34:03,250 --> 00:34:08,730
There was no major damage from healing the storm, but there was localized flooding.

445
00:34:09,570 --> 00:34:17,670
There was pounding on the roadways, but the main damage from this storm was straight line winds.

446
00:34:17,670 --> 00:34:27,970
And I don't know if y'all remember or not, but the damage, the mean of the damage was from the marina in Newstil.

447
00:34:29,090 --> 00:34:42,350
And so, out here, the experience 80 to 90 mile an hour straight line is, it tore the pears apart, pulled up pylons, destroyed numerous boats.

448
00:34:42,350 --> 00:34:54,370
And the damage was actually a deficit time for $40,000,000, and would take 2-3 years per complete restoration services to the marina.

449
00:34:55,490 --> 00:35:03,190
And that's just one example of the storms that we've faced last year, and again, it's exactly one year ago this week.

450
00:35:03,870 --> 00:35:08,930
So the question is, what is it that we can do to prepare for severe weather?

451
00:35:08,930 --> 00:35:14,590
And the way that we look at it is information is probably the most important stuff.

452
00:35:15,150 --> 00:35:20,950
And there are so many different avenues for us to get information for severe storms.

453
00:35:22,290 --> 00:35:30,930
Television moves, radios, weather radios, mass alerts, whether through iPhones or Android's.

454
00:35:31,890 --> 00:35:36,690
And then the second thing that we really like to emphasize is just know what to do.

455
00:35:36,690 --> 00:35:54,050
Leave the eyewitness weather to the storm chasers, seek shelter in the storms and poor tornadoes because small, nowhere to go in your house, small windowless room, a closet, a bathroom,

456
00:35:57,410 --> 00:36:05,510
and take in blankets and maybe a sleeping bag, or even mattress for extra protection, if it looks like it's going to be that dangerous.

457
00:36:05,510 --> 00:36:14,290
So anyway, Judges, commissioners wanted to thank you for the committee to address this very important issue.

458
00:36:14,790 --> 00:36:15,550
Perfect, thank you.

459
00:36:16,290 --> 00:36:18,310
I'll go ahead and thank you, Mark.

460
00:36:18,310 --> 00:36:23,190
It was a great outline of some of the things that happened throughout the year actually.

461
00:36:23,490 --> 00:36:27,930
So this is a court proclamation regarding severe weather awareness week.

462
00:36:28,130 --> 00:36:30,570
It was a storm's construct at any time of the year.

463
00:36:30,770 --> 00:36:32,690
The months of March, April and May.

464
00:36:32,690 --> 00:36:38,430
have the greatest potential for violent weather events, and we're as severe thunderstorms

465
00:36:38,430 --> 00:36:43,270
that bring damaging winds, lightning, hail, flash floods, and tornadoes frequent the spring

466
00:36:43,270 --> 00:36:48,450
across the didn't county landscape, and have often brought risks to lives in property,

467
00:36:49,030 --> 00:36:54,130
and we're as the lives in property of all didn't county residents are this court's utmost concern,

468
00:36:54,590 --> 00:36:59,510
and we're as a community didn't county can proactively work together to ensure the safety and

469
00:36:59,510 --> 00:37:06,830
property of our people and whereas between 1955 and 2024 there were 51 reported tornadoes

470
00:37:06,830 --> 00:37:10,710
within didn't county and whereas under the coordination of the National Weather Service

471
00:37:10,710 --> 00:37:15,450
with the strong support of the Texas Division of Emergency Management, a number of local

472
00:37:15,450 --> 00:37:20,350
and volunteer agencies will be informing and educating the public on steps that can be taken

473
00:37:20,350 --> 00:37:26,790
to survive the severe weather hazards and the potential disasters that spring may bring and

474
00:37:26,790 --> 00:37:29,050
Now therefore, it be resolved that didn't count a commissioner's court.

475
00:37:29,210 --> 00:37:34,230
It's here by Proclam, that we can march the 4th through the 8th, 2024 as severe weather

476
00:37:34,230 --> 00:37:40,290
awareness we can get in the county and we can all upon all citizens to designate a safe place

477
00:37:40,290 --> 00:37:45,250
for family members to meet in the case of an evacuation, decide how to maintain communication

478
00:37:45,250 --> 00:37:50,590
with loved ones and put together a preparedness kit for important documents and supplies.

479
00:37:51,450 --> 00:37:56,390
Most importantly, heat warnings and instructions issued by local county and state officials

480
00:37:56,390 --> 00:38:01,610
and emergency management personnel, and we encourage all residents to remain mindful of the

481
00:38:01,610 --> 00:38:06,790
dangers presented by severe storms, stay informed of current weather conditions and take precautions

482
00:38:06,790 --> 00:38:12,310
to prevent loss of life and property. Done in open court, this is the fifth day of March

483
00:38:13,170 --> 00:38:18,450
2024 upon a motion made by motion commissioner. Will you have a second back commissioner, Falcon

484
00:38:18,450 --> 00:38:26,350
or any discussion? What is the emergency preparedness fair that's going to be held this

485
00:38:26,350 --> 00:38:28,430
Which one of y'all can remember that day?

486
00:38:28,530 --> 00:38:30,830
Do you remember that day?

487
00:38:31,750 --> 00:38:32,490
In September.

488
00:38:33,190 --> 00:38:33,710
In September?

489
00:38:33,710 --> 00:38:33,910
In September?

490
00:38:34,250 --> 00:38:34,610
In September?

491
00:38:35,630 --> 00:38:36,690
That's a fun event.

492
00:38:37,170 --> 00:38:37,930
And we hosted it here.

493
00:38:38,050 --> 00:38:38,790
So we're going to have it later.

494
00:38:39,390 --> 00:38:39,970
They have this fall.

495
00:38:40,170 --> 00:38:41,030
Couldn't remember when it was.

496
00:38:42,250 --> 00:38:43,670
Well, we will advertise it abundantly.

497
00:38:44,290 --> 00:38:44,490
Yes, sir.

498
00:38:44,790 --> 00:38:47,750
Could I give a shout out to our road and bridge crews?

499
00:38:48,490 --> 00:38:50,250
Because they notice we see where there comes.

500
00:38:50,650 --> 00:38:51,930
They have to go out and close.

501
00:38:52,370 --> 00:38:54,950
Certain roads, low water crossings, bridges, et cetera.

502
00:38:54,950 --> 00:38:59,930
So if the rest of us don't have to worry about that, I'll just tell them, thank you too.

503
00:39:00,250 --> 00:39:01,970
Absolutely, our own bridge and public works.

504
00:39:02,510 --> 00:39:07,650
They're a key part of all of our emergency response efforts, so yes, thank you.

505
00:39:08,070 --> 00:39:08,710
Absolutely, interview comments.

506
00:39:08,970 --> 00:39:10,870
I'd just like to thank you again.

507
00:39:11,190 --> 00:39:18,990
One of the most important things that we can do other than prepare is let people know how to prepare.

508
00:39:19,590 --> 00:39:20,950
And let them know what to do.

509
00:39:20,950 --> 00:39:23,990
people, you know, that don't know what to do, don't

510
00:39:23,990 --> 00:39:27,610
a storm, a lot of some people, not myself, want to run out

511
00:39:27,610 --> 00:39:29,870
and see it, not myself, I'm hiding.

512
00:39:30,810 --> 00:39:33,970
But, you know, letting people know that this is what's

513
00:39:33,970 --> 00:39:36,590
going to happen and what they can do to help themselves.

514
00:39:36,990 --> 00:39:39,410
I appreciate all the information that you all give us.

515
00:39:39,430 --> 00:39:43,730
Please continue to send the emails and texts and all that you do

516
00:39:43,730 --> 00:39:46,590
to let us know what's happening and when it's coming,

517
00:39:46,870 --> 00:39:49,530

Thank you.

00:39:52,190 --> 00:39:54,730
It's a 24-7 operation at a time.

521
00:39:54,970 --> 00:39:55,390
So anyway.

Thank you.

going back to item two.

530
00:41:27,940 --> 00:41:30,640

531
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:32,880
Do we have a motion to approve the agenda as presented?

00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:35,160

583
00:44:38,940 --> 00:44:40,980
Motion by Commissioner Faulkner, the chair of the second.

584
00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:44,020
Okay.

585
00:44:44,420 --> 00:44:44,680
Don't worry.

586
00:44:45,140 --> 00:44:45,840
Thanks, Judge.

587
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:48,720
So, first of all, I want to thank you all.

588
00:44:48,720 --> 00:44:59,540
I asked to pull this a couple of weeks ago and Eric and I have talked extensively through this and if I'm sure you saw his backup that was in our information.

589
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:12,200
But I just wanted to make sure that when we were spending money on our equipment, the things and all of that, that we are doing it in the best way possible, and I think he's got a great strategic plan.

590
00:45:12,740 --> 00:45:25,800
I think that it would still be good. He's done a fair amount of work on kind of where he sees things going with some of this kind of equipment, and when he's back, because he's obviously out in the panhandle.

591
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:35,520
And when he's back if we could have given him a few minutes just to kind of go through some of his stuff that he's put together and that we've talked about, but I think that

592
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:42,740
The Lyath has got a long life still and that was really what I just want to make sure that we're spending money in the right way.

593
00:45:42,740 --> 00:45:45,220
Robert Good. Great. Thank you.

594
00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:48,620
All right, we have a motion of second, any other comments? All in favor say aye.

595
00:45:48,620 --> 00:45:53,240
In the opposed, motion carries the name, so thank you, commissioners, next at 6C.

596
00:45:53,540 --> 00:45:59,560
Approval specifications are thwarted to advertise for ITB 2-42799 key control systems,

597
00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:02,200
system products, software and services.

598
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:06,480
Motion by Commissioner Mitchell, second by Commissioner Faulkner, any discussion?

599
00:46:07,220 --> 00:46:08,280
All in favor say aye.

600
00:46:08,620 --> 00:46:13,120
Any opposed, motion carries the name, so next at 6F, approval specifications are thwarted

601
00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:20,180
advertised for CSP 2327-96HVAC equipment replacement in the Public Resilience Committee to include

602
00:46:20,180 --> 00:46:25,380
Chris Lansing, Construction Coordinator, Public Resilience Scott, Morris Maintenance, Repair

603
00:46:25,380 --> 00:46:31,740
Specialist, Two Public Resilience and Eddie Maya Maintenance, Repair Specialist, One, Public

604
00:46:31,740 --> 00:46:37,180
Facilities and Any Apprope Reduction, Motion by Commissioner Falconer, Second by Commissioner

605
00:46:37,180 --> 00:46:39,260
Edmondson, Any Discussion, Commissioner Mitchell.

606
00:46:42,910 --> 00:46:52,310
about the estimated time for the construction on these HVAC systems, and if you look at

607
00:46:52,310 --> 00:46:57,370
you back up on page 153 and talk about the number of days, and is Dale here?

608
00:47:00,730 --> 00:47:02,530
I don't know if you've had a chance to look at it.

609
00:47:02,530 --> 00:47:09,150
I have a problem with the amount of time, 270 days to repair something.

610
00:47:09,150 --> 00:47:16,810
And I don't know it also. I need the experts to tell me why it's taking me so long and if you want to do it next week, you can, but I just need to

611
00:47:17,670 --> 00:47:19,130
We'll get there next week.

612
00:47:20,830 --> 00:47:28,330
The main source of it is it's very invasive and we're adding new units and there's a lot of duck work, new duck work installed in the building.

613
00:47:28,670 --> 00:47:33,630
Love that cannot be done or business hours due to the public and employees in the building.

614
00:47:34,850 --> 00:47:39,990
So, after hours and weekends, there's a lot of this project, which takes up a lot of time.

615
00:47:41,130 --> 00:47:43,010
But I can get them more information for you.

616
00:47:43,070 --> 00:47:43,730
Come back next week.

617
00:47:43,830 --> 00:47:44,310
That's fine.

618
00:47:44,870 --> 00:47:45,030
Okay.

619
00:47:45,710 --> 00:47:46,830
Can I just add on that?

620
00:47:47,090 --> 00:47:52,870
So, when you are doing those after hours, it's not just that you don't have that same normal

621
00:47:52,870 --> 00:47:53,350
timing.

622
00:47:53,810 --> 00:48:01,550
You basically are having to tear down clean up in that short time and it really does

623
00:48:01,550 --> 00:48:06,430
I'll take a tremendous amount more time than if you just were doing an empty building.

624
00:48:06,990 --> 00:48:07,550
Yeah. Absolutely.

625
00:48:08,670 --> 00:48:11,710
And we will obviously, when we get going,

626
00:48:11,830 --> 00:48:14,210
we get a contractor who we're going to try to reduce that,

627
00:48:14,210 --> 00:48:18,350
as much as we can, as well, work with them to sort it a length of that time.

628
00:48:18,910 --> 00:48:19,890
Okay. Thank you.

629
00:48:20,050 --> 00:48:20,990
I appreciate it.

630
00:48:23,120 --> 00:48:25,140
I would like to have an offline conversation about that well,

631
00:48:25,180 --> 00:48:29,080
because maybe there's some obvious hours that could be flexed.

632
00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:29,260
Yeah.

633
00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:30,740
I don't know.

634
00:48:31,240 --> 00:48:33,320
I don't know.

635
00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:35,200
You know, we go ahead and approve it. I'm okay.

636
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:36,820
We can approve it this morning.

637
00:48:36,820 --> 00:48:36,980
We can approve it this morning.

638
00:48:37,100 --> 00:48:38,600
And then we can talk for six of the month.

639
00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:41,220
We do have a motion in the second.

640
00:48:42,340 --> 00:48:43,100
Any other discussion?

641
00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:45,140
All in favor say aye.

642
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:46,220
Any opposed?

643
00:48:47,140 --> 00:48:48,240
Motion carries your name.

644
00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:49,360
So thank you.

645
00:48:49,420 --> 00:48:49,800
Thank you.

646
00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:50,840
Thank you for the question.

647
00:48:51,900 --> 00:48:51,940
Yes.

648
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:52,200
Seven.

649
00:48:53,140 --> 00:48:56,570
A was a approval of budget member request.

650
00:48:56,710 --> 00:48:59,730
One zero zero eight nine zero for human resources to increase revenue and

651
00:48:59,730 --> 00:49:00,530
allocating expenditures.

652
00:49:01,490 --> 00:49:03,510
To the United Health Care Wellness reimbursement

653
00:49:03,510 --> 00:49:09,610
Department amount of $4,000 for hospitality supplies and $11,000 for employee programs for

654
00:49:09,610 --> 00:49:10,910
a total of $15,000.

655
00:49:11,150 --> 00:49:15,710

738
00:52:40,570 --> 00:52:41,790

Any appropriate action.

746
00:52:54,490 --> 00:52:56,950
I'm going to get that out of here.

747
00:52:57,410 --> 00:52:57,870
Ma'am?

748
00:52:57,950 --> 00:52:59,110
So you have it?

749
00:52:59,110 --> 00:53:00,050
I have

750
00:53:04,180 --> 00:53:04,300
it.

751
00:53:04,460 --> 00:53:05,500
It's very clear.

752
00:53:06,140 --> 00:53:08,200
I'll put a cop drop in.

753
00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:11,680
So I can get through the rest of this agenda.

754
00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:17,100
Anyway, this morning, members, we have a resolution here.

755
00:53:17,100 --> 00:53:22,340
related to our border security and this is something that's been great topic here

756
00:53:22,340 --> 00:53:26,820
nationally and across the state of Texas and here in Ditton County over the last

757
00:53:26,820 --> 00:53:33,760
several years and this is a resolution expressing our support of the Texas

758
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:39,220
state of Texas and their efforts to increase border security. So this is a resolution

759
00:53:39,220 --> 00:53:45,080
supporting measures to secure the border to protect our communities and the Ditton County

760
00:53:45,080 --> 00:53:48,360
The Commission's Court didn't count any Texas during a regular session on the 5th day

761
00:53:48,360 --> 00:53:54,080
of March, 2024, considered the following resolution, and we're securing the international

762
00:53:54,080 --> 00:53:59,200
borders, the federal government's responsibility, and by refusing to enforce the immigration

763
00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:04,280
laws enacted by Congress, the federal government has been derelict in their duties to secure

764
00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:05,120
our border.

765
00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:10,080
And we're as governor Greg Abbott, the Texas Department of Public Safety, the Texas National

766
00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:17,160
guard in county and local law enforcement officers are using legal authority vested

767
00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:22,000
by the Texas Constitution and guaranteed by the United States Constitution to secure

768
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:30,020
the border, stop the cartel smuggling of people, drugs, and weapons into Texas and prevent

769
00:54:30,580 --> 00:54:36,280
detacked and interdict, transnational criminal activity between ports of entry, and

770
00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:45,120
as the Texas legislature has allocated over $11.5 billion to fund Governor Abbott's border security

771
00:54:45,120 --> 00:54:47,240
mission, Operation Loan Star.

772
00:54:47,980 --> 00:54:57,660
Since its launch in March of 2021, the multi-agency effort has led to over $498,300 illegal

773
00:54:57,660 --> 00:55:06,000
immigrant apprehensions in more than $39,200 criminal arrests with more than $35,400

774
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:12,360
felony charges. In the fight against the fentanyl crisis, Texas law enforcement has seized over

775
00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:21,640
458 million lethal doses of fentanyl. More than enough to kill every man, woman, and child

776
00:55:21,640 --> 00:55:28,580
in the United States. Whereas the officials of nearly 100 counties in Texas have issued disaster

777
00:55:28,580 --> 00:55:34,780
declarations, or declared an invasion, or both an express support of operation loans,

778
00:55:34,780 --> 00:55:42,000
are to secure the border against foreign terrorist organizations and non-state actors and secure

779
00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:43,260
Texas sovereignty.

780
00:55:43,720 --> 00:55:49,000
And whereas the ongoing border crisis is not acceptable, resulting in a national security

781
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:54,500
threat at humanitarian disaster with overwhelming consequences to the people of Texas.

782
00:55:55,560 --> 00:55:59,260
Now therefore, it be resolved that they didn't carry commissioners court number one.

783
00:55:59,260 --> 00:56:04,960
recognizes our southern Texas border is suffering in invasion, which poses imminent danger.

784
00:56:05,920 --> 00:56:17,520
Two, stands in full support of Governor Abbott, our Texas legislative delegation and the state-led efforts of operational loans start to defend Texas's sovereignty and secure the Texas border in three.

785
00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:23,300
calls upon the federal government to uphold its duties to adequately secure and protect the borders

786
00:56:23,300 --> 00:56:25,040
of the United States.

787
00:56:25,340 --> 00:56:29,640
Done an open court this the fifth day of March, 2020, 24 upon a motion by the chair,

788
00:56:30,440 --> 00:56:33,520
second by Commissioner Edmondson, any other discussion?

789
00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:35,380
Yeah, Georgia can be a fine.

790
00:56:36,320 --> 00:56:40,520
This is just one of the, there's a few topics here obviously to point out.

791
00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:44,660
One that I think is imperative for the citizens to realize for us and I'll handle this one

792
00:56:44,660 --> 00:56:47,000
to human trafficking impacts for didn't county.

793
00:56:47,020 --> 00:56:50,780
Didn't county commissioners court is committed to addressing the opening of the ongoing

794
00:56:50,780 --> 00:56:55,480
issues of human trafficking with available resources to fight back and prevent.

795
00:56:55,820 --> 00:56:58,760
This from becoming more of a continued growth epidemic.

796
00:56:59,720 --> 00:57:05,160
At any given time in Texas, there are over 200,000 victims of labor trafficking and

797
00:57:05,160 --> 00:57:08,400
over 70,000 victims of minor sex trafficking.

798
00:57:09,040 --> 00:57:14,160
To combat these statistics, the didn't county commissioners court previously implemented a human

799
00:57:14,160 --> 00:57:18,160
traffic and investigation unit as part of the Ditton County Sheriff's Office.

800
00:57:18,660 --> 00:57:21,340
It is mobilized to fight human trafficking.

801
00:57:22,300 --> 00:57:27,320
I think that's an important part of what the Commissars Court implemented a few years

802
00:57:27,320 --> 00:57:30,320
back to show that we're trying to get ahead of this and not be behind.

803
00:57:30,980 --> 00:57:36,080
Unfortunately, it takes not just our county, but every county in between here and the

804
00:57:36,080 --> 00:57:36,260
border.

805
00:57:37,160 --> 00:57:41,300
And hopefully we can get the government, not the state, but the federal government to

806
00:57:41,300 --> 00:57:45,520
how important this is and step in and start doing a little bit more to help Texas.

807
00:57:46,160 --> 00:57:50,360
But from what I can tell, what it looks like, government is not going to wait and we're

808
00:57:50,360 --> 00:57:55,060
going to spend the money necessary of all this, you know, billions of dollars in reserve

809
00:57:55,060 --> 00:58:00,460
that we have to protect the border. So thank you for this. And by the way, I want to give

810
00:58:00,460 --> 00:58:03,960
props to Ms. Hamburg, she's the one that kind of put that together then, what I just read.

811
00:58:04,200 --> 00:58:09,140
And I appreciate her doing that. Obviously, thanks for being a little more educated than I am.

812
00:58:09,140 --> 00:58:13,000
I'm going to make one little correction on what you see.

813
00:58:13,120 --> 00:58:13,440
Yes, me.

814
00:58:13,960 --> 00:58:15,060
Minor, sex trafficking.

815
00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:16,720
That doesn't mean it.

816
00:58:16,860 --> 00:58:17,440
No, it's not.

817
00:58:18,120 --> 00:58:19,480
Minor and age.

818
00:58:19,700 --> 00:58:21,160
We're being sex trafficked.

819
00:58:21,540 --> 00:58:21,940
That is correct.

820
00:58:22,160 --> 00:58:22,660
That is correct.

821
00:58:23,080 --> 00:58:23,280
Nope.

822
00:58:23,880 --> 00:58:25,200
Thank you.

823
00:58:25,560 --> 00:58:25,740
Yes.

824
00:58:26,280 --> 00:58:27,000
Commissioner Balkner.

825
00:58:27,700 --> 00:58:28,340
Thank you.

826
00:58:29,040 --> 00:58:34,240
So this is a major problem we have in our country.

827
00:58:35,220 --> 00:58:38,520
And a couple of years ago, when I was running for this office,

828
00:58:38,520 --> 00:58:44,680
border security was one of my points and I added some people it asked like why are you

829
00:58:44,680 --> 00:58:49,620
running for county commissioner why do you have that and I said you know if you talk

830
00:58:49,620 --> 00:58:58,520
to our sheriff the thing he talks about most right now is all of the issues that are happening

831
00:58:58,520 --> 00:59:05,020
and we have we sit right here with i35 through our county and it is a direct line down to

832
00:59:05,020 --> 00:59:12,380
border and we are seeing and it's been a bit of a wave that we didn't see it first when

833
00:59:12,380 --> 00:59:19,880
the border was first opened if you will but we see it now and one of those is as we just

834
00:59:19,880 --> 00:59:27,540
said there's human trafficking one of those is fentanyl and even here in Denton County

835
00:59:27,540 --> 00:59:34,800
in Carleton we lost three young people to fentanyl that was brought across illegally across

836
00:59:34,800 --> 00:59:40,600
supporter, it is a crisis and it's something that we have to do something about and it affects

837
00:59:40,600 --> 00:59:46,400
the entire nation, but we see it every bit, we see that happening right here in our county.

838
00:59:48,060 --> 00:59:48,200
Thank you.

839
00:59:48,380 --> 00:59:49,080
Thank you Commissioner.

840
00:59:49,380 --> 00:59:50,760
We start everything soon.

841
00:59:51,540 --> 00:59:52,060
Thank you, Judge.

842
00:59:53,440 --> 00:59:57,580
We talked about supporting Governor Abbott and our Texas love just late for the delegation.

843
00:59:58,240 --> 00:59:59,900
I'd like to point out that the governor has been...

844
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:06,400
Again, Dent and County several times this year. And this is what he's pushing is what our legislators

845
01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:15,240
are doing in helping him to try to shut down, as much as possible, this boarder that is really wide

846
01:00:15,240 --> 01:00:20,920
open at this point in time, thanks to our President. So I really appreciate the fact that we pass

847
01:00:20,920 --> 01:00:27,000
this to our elected officials. No, we watch. We see what they're doing, and we appreciate what

848
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:28,840
What are you doing in this?

849
01:00:29,080 --> 01:00:29,980
I'm just wondering.

850
01:00:30,160 --> 01:00:30,620
Commissioner Mitchell.

851
01:00:31,820 --> 01:00:39,100
At our police officers and public safety people, that's taken a toll on them, trying

852
01:00:39,100 --> 01:00:44,080
to make sure that our county is safe and also state is safe.

853
01:00:44,440 --> 01:00:45,660
And the nation is safe.

854
01:00:46,040 --> 01:00:47,720
It's taken a toll on police officers.

855
01:00:48,060 --> 01:00:53,140
And you know, with 27% of the budget that we're using on our public safety.

856
01:00:53,420 --> 01:00:56,160
I think we have to be aware of what's going on.

857
01:00:56,160 --> 01:00:59,880
And we have to take a stand on making sure that we keep

858
01:00:59,880 --> 01:01:03,720
Den County safe first and then all the other counties around.

859
01:01:03,920 --> 01:01:08,380
So I think we, I think we're being responsible and passing this resolution.

860
01:01:08,740 --> 01:01:13,040
And I assume it's going to pass to make sure that we're doing all we can and Den County

861
01:01:13,040 --> 01:01:18,180
to make a difference in all the things that we're talking about, the traffic and the drugs and all that

862
01:01:18,180 --> 01:01:24,260
that's coming out. And so I'm, I'm so glad in favor of this resolution and thinking

863
01:01:24,260 --> 01:01:26,640
The lady that brought it to us.

864
01:01:26,640 --> 01:01:28,180
Thank you so much.

865
01:01:28,180 --> 01:01:29,580
Commissioner, we thank you so much.

866
01:01:29,840 --> 01:01:30,880
Commissioner to add to that.

867
01:01:30,940 --> 01:01:38,180
I think it's imperative that the people realize that's why we gave that large increase that we recently did to our public safety.

868
01:01:38,820 --> 01:01:46,000
You know, we, we, we are supporters of that unlike some of the other cities and counties around the state.

869
01:01:46,040 --> 01:01:49,020
But I think it's imperative that citizens realize how important that is to us.

870
01:01:49,360 --> 01:01:53,440
And we don't just say it, we back it by making sure financially that they're taking care of.

871
01:01:53,440 --> 01:01:55,320
So, great point, thank you, Joe.

872
01:01:56,720 --> 01:02:02,640
I'll tell you, I'm glad we're doing this today, and I believe that it's just kind of

873
01:02:02,640 --> 01:02:08,760
documenting what, in a formal way, what we've all believed all along, you know, and what

874
01:02:08,760 --> 01:02:14,760
we at the county have invested resources to address this issue here locally.

875
01:02:15,660 --> 01:02:21,560
You know, the border crisis first came home to me, probably, I don't know, 10 or 12 years

876
01:02:21,560 --> 01:02:29,140
ago, among lots of non-profit boards, and we were talking about issues with our children

877
01:02:29,140 --> 01:02:38,580
into schools, and that were coming over, and, frankly, the sexual assault of these girls

878
01:02:39,220 --> 01:02:45,940
when they come through the border, and then they're in the high percentage, the lifeliness

879
01:02:45,940 --> 01:02:51,160
of that happening, and I was sitting in this board meeting when we were talking to the staff

880
01:02:51,160 --> 01:02:54,400
who deals the case workers who deal with these children.

881
01:02:55,260 --> 01:02:58,880
And the whole room was just taken back by that.

882
01:03:00,520 --> 01:03:03,420
And I will always remember that night.

883
01:03:04,460 --> 01:03:05,900
And I have a deep sense of appreciation

884
01:03:05,900 --> 01:03:07,260
for those case workers.

885
01:03:07,420 --> 01:03:09,660
They're not government employees, case workers,

886
01:03:10,040 --> 01:03:13,440
who are from a non-profit, who we're working to address that,

887
01:03:14,800 --> 01:03:18,120
and in a loving and human, with a sense of human compassion,

888
01:03:18,120 --> 01:03:20,800
in which I think is a Bentley necessary.

889
01:03:22,980 --> 01:03:28,080
But as people, as these minors are brought here,

890
01:03:28,480 --> 01:03:30,720
and oftentimes, assaults oftentimes,

891
01:03:31,560 --> 01:03:34,520
traffic, I believe that if you listen to Bob Williams,

892
01:03:34,720 --> 01:03:36,160
call he'll say that the human trafficking

893
01:03:36,160 --> 01:03:38,640
is a bigger industry than a drug industry

894
01:03:39,460 --> 01:03:41,100
in the US and worldwide.

895
01:03:42,120 --> 01:03:44,640
And so much of that is coming across our border.

896
01:03:44,640 --> 01:03:50,120
And so I think that is, today, I'm glad we're doing this as a way.

897
01:03:50,140 --> 01:03:55,000
Thank you, Melinda, for bringing us to our attention and it's just a way to memorialize

898
01:03:55,000 --> 01:03:59,100
this court's opinion during this time of the life of our history and life of the war

899
01:03:59,100 --> 01:04:00,720
of what we're dealing with.

900
01:04:01,060 --> 01:04:08,400
And you know, when you think about 11.5 billion dollars of Texas taxpayers money spent on this,

901
01:04:09,180 --> 01:04:12,060
I'm glad the state is making those investments.

902
01:04:13,320 --> 01:04:23,900
But just imagine if they weren't having to invest 11 billion dollars on this one issue, what they could do for teachers, what they could do for classrooms,

903
01:04:24,600 --> 01:04:29,000
what they could do for the roads that we're building here in the county homeless issues.

904
01:04:29,160 --> 01:04:36,240
I mean, think of all the tech stop partnerships that we, that we're doing local dollars with tech stop that that could be supporting tech stop

905
01:04:36,240 --> 01:04:41,520
and in a reduce of our tax burden here, and so when you think about 11, in addition to the

906
01:04:41,520 --> 01:04:45,840
lives, let's start with the lives that are impacted, absolutely, and then you go to the

907
01:04:45,840 --> 01:04:52,860
financial impact that impacts our classrooms, that impacts our roads, that impacts our state

908
01:04:52,860 --> 01:04:57,940
parks, that impacts everything in the state of Texas that we touch, the mental health.

909
01:04:58,200 --> 01:05:02,280
Thank you to our mental health professionals, if we weren't spending $11 billion on the border,

910
01:05:02,280 --> 01:05:05,120
we've been at 11 billion on our mental health.

911
01:05:06,640 --> 01:05:12,440
Past two people this morning on the way to this courthouse, having very thoughtful conversations

912
01:05:12,440 --> 01:05:18,640
with somebody all by themselves, on the side of the road with a cardboard sign, carrying

913
01:05:19,560 --> 01:05:20,000
on.

914
01:05:20,320 --> 01:05:24,340
And I thought, and I knew we had this proclamation of this resolution on the court this morning,

915
01:05:24,480 --> 01:05:28,540
I thought, what if we, 11 billion dollars was treating those two residents here and not

916
01:05:28,540 --> 01:05:31,560
go into the border, how this would be a better county.

917
01:05:32,620 --> 01:05:35,920
And so I'm glad that we're supportive of this resolution.

918
01:05:36,660 --> 01:05:41,500
There's human lives at risk, and obviously financial impacts here locally.

919
01:05:42,060 --> 01:05:45,920
And public safety, as you've seen across the U.S.

920
01:05:45,960 --> 01:05:46,880
about public safety.

921
01:05:47,100 --> 01:05:51,600
And so I think this is important, and we have a motion in the second

922
01:05:51,600 --> 01:05:52,520
any other discussion.

923
01:05:53,360 --> 01:05:56,220
All in favor say aye, any opposed motion carries unanimously.

924
01:05:56,380 --> 01:05:56,900
Thank you.

925
01:05:56,940 --> 01:05:57,260
Thank you.

926
01:05:59,660 --> 01:06:03,620
Thank you, Brooke, for your research related to this topic.

927
01:06:03,620 --> 01:06:06,260
It was important before we do something that we wanted to do.

928
01:06:06,360 --> 01:06:07,940
I thought for research on that.

929
01:06:08,020 --> 01:06:08,920
So we have a...

930
01:06:08,920 --> 01:06:09,400
Go ahead, Commissioner.

931
01:06:09,560 --> 01:06:14,300
The DPS officer, and I wrote a reclub that has been gone for months down at the board.

932
01:06:14,620 --> 01:06:14,800
Yep.

933
01:06:16,400 --> 01:06:16,640
Yes.

934
01:06:16,880 --> 01:06:16,980

01:06:17,100 --> 01:06:18,560
There are a reclub.

936
01:06:19,260 --> 01:06:20,160
Yes, absolutely.

937
01:06:21,120 --> 01:06:22,680
All right, let's go to...

938
01:06:23,520 --> 01:06:24,000
14A.

939
01:06:24,340 --> 01:06:28,180
14A is approval of a mutual aid agreement and request for assistance from

940
01:06:28,180 --> 01:06:35,340

941
01:06:35,460 --> 01:06:41,320
