[0:20] judge commissioners, everyone.

[0:22] Let us pray.

[0:27] cities, county, state, and national political

[0:29] leaders with wisdom, understanding, discernment,

[0:40] District Attorney Chair of Judges and all who serve a look

[0:43] communities, grant them favor, increase their faith, and prepare

[0:46] them to pursue your excellence. Draw them to you and cause

[0:49] them to know and fulfill your purpose. Please place people in their

[1:32] weaknesses in our falls. We put all our confidence in your love and mercy in our daily actions.

[2:09] We always work as we work for you.

[2:12] We ask this all in the New Sun Jesus name.

[2:18] Anyone sign up for open form?

[2:20] Yes, sir.

[2:21] We do judge.

[2:22] We do have one.

[2:23] Participants.

[2:23] Permitaries.

[2:26] I've already talked to that.

[2:29] Thank you.

[2:30] Mr. Seen.

[2:31] But also, I think this is increasing too.

[2:33] I had a phone call, 3409 South Jackson Road.

[2:38] There is a huge pot hole.

[2:41] And they said that they've talked with textile or something

[2:44] and textile said they can't fix it until the leak is fixed.

[2:49] And I said it's this in the county and they said yes.

[2:52] So I don't know.

[2:53] I got pictures if you want to see it.

[2:56] And people are especially I'm assuming women drive around

[2:59] and the lady almost got hit head on.

[3:01] both to wait to turn to go, but anyway, it's been there for some time and it's just getting

[3:07] deeper and deeper.

[3:08] Thank you.

[3:09] Thank you.

[3:09] We'll check it out.

[3:16] That's what has your approval of the consent agenda?

[3:19] Yes, our approval of check register and payment claims, bills, et cetera, general

[3:22] operations, also that they've been vetted by my team.

[3:25] Everything's in order.

[3:26] We do recommend approval.

[3:29] Second.

[3:31] All in favor say aye.

[3:32] Time motion carries.

[3:34] I don't mind reading.

[3:34] Yes, or five eight discussion in that place in relation to one reason, I mean, it's with local

[3:38] delegation, Austin, Texas, we did, you know, we traveled to Austin to meet with our local

[3:44] state reps.

[3:45] Commissioner, you want to just kind of give an overview of it or?

[3:48] So, the primary thing that we're looking for, you know, continued assistance with drainage issues.

[3:53] Obviously, we voiced our support for the flood infrastructure funding program and hoping that they'll

[3:59] funded again so that we might be eligible for some more grants and low interest rate loans.

[4:05] The other thing we've talked about is the reclamation project over in the Navierian.

[4:10] The project itself has a water supply unique in that it's never been done before using drainage

[4:19] water, captured, cleaning it to a certain state and then using it as water resource.

[4:25] But unfortunately it doesn't fit within the water development board rules because it's

[4:29] a standard type water resource. So we've got to work cut out for us to try to really push this,

[4:36] but we've met with all of our legislators. They seem very supportive of the idea of trying to

[4:41] help however they could will continue pursuing that. I imagine that we're going to have to make

[4:45] several trips this legislative session to go try to continue to advocate, to try to find funding

[4:51] for this and try to put as little burden on the local tax dollars as possible. So that's really

[4:58] we're after here, trying to find grants, low interest rate loans and see how we can do this

[5:03] because the water code is not very kind to us with respect to drainage district and water

[5:08] system.

[5:09] Yes, sir?

[5:09] That's it.

[5:11] I just want to give the board an overview.

[5:13] Well, I want to thank all of you that have been to Austin to advocate for us with thank you

[5:18] because that's so important.

[5:20] We don't go over there to talk to anyone, listen.

[5:22] Yes, sir.

[5:22] You know what?

[5:23] One lesson.

[5:23] And while we were up there and it pertains a lot to the county as well, but it indirectly applies to the drains district in the sense that illegal dumping continues to be a huge problem in our area.

[5:34] We know that we have a sanitation bill that we would like to see push through, you know, to try to find a solution for illegal dumping or at least provide a more of a curbside service for constituents.

[5:46] And that will help clear a lot of our drain of ditches of illegal dumping, so that was in addition to the other programs that we talked about for funding that was another issue that we did bring up.

[5:57] I also just mentioned we did meet with Jilo Commissioner, Dr. Don Buckham, on the possibility of moving some of the funding or taking them for the funding we received in our area.

[6:07] but also the positive mood and so the housing funding

[6:11] into infrastructure projects,

[6:13] drainage infrastructure projects that obviously will protect

[6:16] the housing so they don't want to be rebuilt.

[6:19] So they're very receptive to that.

[6:21] And I know Commissioner, we you guys went to DC

[6:23] that kind of laid that groundwork for that.

[6:25] So yeah, so we worked with Housing and Urban Development

[6:27] out of the DC office, the federal program,

[6:30] because we have received 2018 disaster recovery monies

[6:32] that were specific to the local county

[6:34] because of its, it was a federally declared disaster.

[6:39] So, monies were allocated in the neighborhood of $50,

[6:41] some of the million dollars.

[6:42] A portion of it had been for drainage mitigation projects,

[6:46] but the rest had been for housing restoration.

[6:51] And, you know, our argument to them was,

[6:53] you're just putting a mandate on the issue.

[6:55] You're not fixing the root of the problem,

[6:57] which is better drainage.

[6:59] So we encourage them to consider moving that money

[7:02] from housing to infrastructure and in meeting with Don Buckingham at the General Land Office,

[7:08] those requests really have to originate from the GLO to HUD.

[7:12] So we were encouraging her to please consider requesting that, or petitioning for that money

[7:18] to be repurposed from housing to drainage.

[7:21] So that was an important message judge because that would open up somewhere in the neighborhood

[7:26] of $30,000,000,000,000,000 for additional infrastructure.

[7:49] I think there's a balance that you can maintain to invest in housing, but I think they have

[7:59] been able to invest that money in housing, so as you say them.

[8:06] Yeah, we're specifically talking about the unused, unfortunately, of that, so thank you,

[8:10] exemplification.

[8:14] Thank you.

[8:14] Thank you again for.

[8:15] Yes, sir.

[8:16] We're going to go on May.

[8:31] So we submitted, on this from the South lateral drain,

[8:35] federal participation will be 2.4 million

[8:37] and 820,000 per hours.

[8:39] Participants?

[8:40] Do you do this in conjunction with Zanya,

[8:42] or are you doing on your own?

[8:44] This one they reached out directly,

[8:45] since we had already had an application pending

[8:49] from the break.

[8:50] And they said, well, you know, this other

[8:52] funding mechanism came in.

[8:54] And since we're already in the mix, we went directly with it.

[8:58] But these are where what you're doing with Spazanya, with respect to the grant application

[9:07] for me.

[9:10] I'm, we can definitely coordinate with them, but yeah, they reached out directly.

[25:40] Proclamation honoring Edinburgh North High School's mariachi

[25:43] on its participation in the World Famous Sundance Film Festival.

[25:48] Whereas the Sundance Film Festival is considered one

[25:51] of the ultimate gatherings for original storytellers

[25:54] and audiences seeking new voices and fresh perspective.

[25:58] Whereas in 2021, Mexican American filmmakers Alejandra Vasquez

[26:02] and Sam Osborne spent several months

[26:05] in the Rio Grande Valley documenting Edinburgh,

[26:07] North Smadiachi, Oro, and focusing on coach Able Akunia, who had to prepare the band for

[26:13] stay competition during the coronavirus epidemic while struggling with remote learning

[26:18] and limited resources.

[26:21] And whereas this year's Sundance Film Festival took place at the rate theater in Park City

[26:25] Utah between January the 19th and January 29th, 2023, and the filmmakers premiered their

[26:31] completed documentary documentary entitled Goin Varsity in Madiachi in the U.S. documentary

[26:37] competition. And whereas in going varsity in

[26:40] mariachi is a heartwarming and inspiring film that

[26:43] follows a year in the life of a competitive mariachi

[26:46] team who showcased their everyday lives, their

[26:49] inner actions, emotions, practice and preparation for a

[26:52] mariachi state title. And whereas while mariachi music is the main

[26:56] focus of the documentary, it also provides a narrative

[26:59] about family, community, and perseverance that is deeply rooted in

[27:04] traditional. The documentary also captures the essence of Mexican-American culture and the role of music,

[27:10] while capturing Yvango County's beauty, with scenes of vibrant mariachi musical performances

[27:15] and the traditional clothing that comes with it. And multiple major news media outlets have declared

[27:21] going varsity in mariachi as a must see film of the 2023 festival. And we're as the Edinburgh

[27:28] Consolidated Independent School District and the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley are coordinating

[27:32] a premiere of this documentary in the county seat of Edinburgh, Texas.

[27:38] Now therefore, be it proclaimed that the Ithagokani commission's court hereby honors

[27:41] in congratulates the Edinburgh North High School, Mediachi Oro, for showcasing to the

[28:35] to show, first of all, the hard work that they're willing to do to get in touch with

[28:39] their culture.

[28:41] And very, something very interesting that always comes up is that the students don't speak

[28:47] a lot of Spanish, but they fall in love with the Mediachi music and they're able to get

[28:52] in touch, again, with their culture.

[28:53] And so it's just, it's great that we're able to not only show our wonderful community

[28:59] and the great state of Texas, but also the world, the dedication that they put in to their culture.

[48:32] to have a good morning,

[48:42] Judge Commissioners, Proclamation Recognizing March

[48:46] as National Kidney Month, whereas kidney diseases often refer to as the silent disease,

[48:52] Because there are usually few symptoms during its early stages with more than 90% of Americans who have chronic kidney disease

[49:00] or unaware of the disease until advanced stages.

[49:04] And whereas more than one in seven US adults are estimated to have chronic kidney disease

[49:10] and people over age 60 who have risk factors such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or heart disease

[49:17] are encouraged to talk to their doctors about getting tested for kidney disease, and

[49:22] whereas a simple urine and blood test can check for kidney disease, and whereas the national

[49:27] kidney disease education program now encourages people to discuss kidney disease among

[49:32] relatives during family reunions as part of its family reunion initiative, and whereas advanced

[49:38] kidney disease may result in two types of treatment, dialysis or transplants, which are available

[49:44] to kidney patients of all ages, and whereas the Rio Grande Valley has a kidney

[49:49] transparent center located at DHR Health, and whereas to enlighten those considering

[49:54] a kidney donation, an online course now exists called becoming a living donor, living

[50:01] donor basics.

[50:02] Now therefore it be proclaimed that the Hidalgo County Commissioners Court recognizes March

[50:07] as National Kidney Month, as well as acknowledging March 9th as World Kidney Day and encourages

[50:14] all residents to consider checking for kidney disease if you have any of the risk factors

[50:19] and consider becoming a live living donor so that others may benefit from one of your two

[50:25] healthy kidneys. Approved this 7th day of March 2020, 3rd.

[50:31] So, second, all in favor say aye. Aye. Motion carries. Thank you very much.

[50:39] Now we have a short video.

[50:48] You never think as the child you're going to save your parent's life.

[50:54] to us. It wasn't really a question of if we were going to do it. It was who's going to do it.

[51:02] She gave me a Christmas card and it said it read your gift is going to be my kidney.

[51:09] And I lost it there again.

[51:12] Your kidneys perform an important function in your body. Their main job is to cleanse the blood of toxins and transform the waste into urine.

[51:19] But one in seven americans can develop chronic kidney disease, which is also known as the

[51:25] silent killer.

[51:26] If left untreated chronic kidney disease can cause serious medical issues that may require

[51:31] dialysis or kidney donations, and donations can be hard to come by.

[51:35] It can take three to five years to find a kidney from a deceased donor, another option

[51:40] are living donors.

[51:42] Meet Audrey and Chowa, David Wontas, and F-R-E-N-Buddy Anthos.

[51:46] each of their lives were impacted by living kidney donations.

[51:54] My mom is 56 years old and she was born with one kidney and she didn't know that.

[52:01] One day, she just wasn't feeling good anymore. She went to the doctor and they ran all kinds

[52:05] of tests and they found out that she only had one kidney and it was functioning at a 5% only.

[52:11] You know, I went on a trip to San Francisco and I remember that we invited my parents to go,

[52:17] And that was the first time that I saw my mom really struggled.

[52:20] So watching herself feel like that you knew that something was wrong.

[52:23] And then she shared about how, you know, she had been monitoring what was happening.

[52:30] It's incredibly getting worse. It's incredible to hear a doctor tell you I can't do anything for you. I had 8% of both kidneys functioning. I was in the now, and the nephrologist put it for easy. He said, oh no, we'll just find a donor in easier said than that.

[52:49] Way easier said than that. I didn't know the donor's list was five years long.

[52:58] She had to get on the transplant list and that's when they first told us about the living donor.

[53:03] Kidney and if I wanted to get tested to see if I was a match.

[53:06] She never asked me directly so I volunteered.

[53:09] So we were on a living donor swap list.

[53:13] So what that means is that my mom and I were not a direct match,

[53:16] but there's another couple in the donor program and it was a mom and a son.

[53:20] So I matched his mom and he matched my mom.

[53:24] So we swapped kitties.

[53:27] We had, I think, close to 20 people, testing to see if they were a match.

[53:31] To us, it wasn't really a question of, if we were going to do it, it was, who's going

[53:38] to do it?

[53:38] So really, it just came down to me and my older sister.

[53:42] And the deciding factor was really that my sister was here and she could help her with the recovery.

[53:47] And that's how it became the donor.

[53:50] And my sister told me she'd give it to me.

[53:53] She gave me a Christmas card and it's a red ear gift is going to be my kidney.

[53:59] And I lost it there again.

[54:06] You never think as the child you're going to save your parent's life, to know that I was able

[54:12] to do that is it's beautiful.

[54:14] It's really a blessing from God to be able to be healthy enough to have my mom here.

[54:19] Because now she can live 30 more years with a living donor kidney.

[54:23] I could see that the impact of having that kidney gave her a really renewed life.

[54:30] I mean, just that she just had so much energy.

[54:33] Because from that kidney donation, my mom started a ministry, and it was all about devotion

[54:38] and helping other people.

[54:40] It really wasn't hard decision at all.

[54:41] I mean, it's your parents, it's my mom, you know, they gave you life.

[54:46] They supported you, put me through college and

[54:54] it just wasn't hard decision at

[54:58] all.

[54:58] I don't know what I would tell her donor.

[55:01] Physiologically, we only need one kidney.

[55:04] God gives us two, probably, because he knows that some people are going to be needing one.

[55:24] Vanessa Lopez, Vice President of Transplant Institute, Mrs. Audrey Ochoa, and Constable

[55:29] Efraine, about again, those.

[55:34] Good morning.

[55:35] I'm Vanessa Lopez.

[55:35] I'm the Vice President of the Transplant Institute at DHR Health.

[55:39] On behalf of our more than 700 physicians, more than or close to 6,000 employees, and

[55:46] Our Board of Managers and Administration, D.H.R. Health wants to thank you for bringing

[55:51] awareness of kidneys, disease, to the residents of Yadalgo County.

[56:00] Good morning, just Commissioner.

[56:01] My name is Agere Ochoa from the IT Department.

[56:04] I want to thank everyone for helping us spread this awareness.

[56:07] It is very important.

[56:09] It could save the life.

[56:10] So thank you very much for helping us spread this awareness.

[56:16] Thank you very much.

[56:17] up is thank you very much for it.

[58:19] Now, Proclamation Recognizing Christina

[58:22] Petta on the occasion of her retirement, whereas healthcare is an essential component of

[58:28] any community and especially critical to the needs of the Rio Grande Valley, which has

[58:32] had a history of a shortage of healthcare professionals. And whereas Christina Petta,

[58:37] a native eddingberg, left the Rio Grande Valley and earned her bastards of science degree

[58:42] from Incartinent Word College and her masters of business administration and health care management

[58:47] degree from our Lady of the Lake University, both located in San Antonio, and whereas

[58:54] Mississippi Veda worked in various leadership and health care executive roles throughout

[58:58] a 40-year career with HCA Hospital Corporation of America, including roles as chief executive

[59:06] officer of facilities in Louisiana and Kansas, and whereas Mississippi Veda returned to South

[59:12] Texas in November of 2012 to assume the position of chief executive officer of Rio Grande

[59:19] Regional Hospital and where is beyond her leadership to Rio Grande Regional Hospital,

[59:24] a 310-bed acute care facility. Mrs. Rivera has played a vital role, a vital leadership role

[59:34] as a dedicated community partner serving on the boards of numerous organizations and ensuring

[59:39] Rio Grande Regional is a good corporate citizen and whereas Mrs. Yveta was recognized by the City of

[59:45] McCallan at the International Women's Day event for her service to the community, having served

[59:51] as President of the McCallan Education Foundation and as Board Chair for the Texas Workforce

[59:56] Solutions Local Childhood.

[1:00:00] This distinguished career and service to her community, Mrs. Yveta has had the 11th support of her husband, David, and their two adult children, Cynthia D. Ann, and David Christian, their daughter-in-law, Erica Lynn, grandson, the unites, and granddaughter, Eliana.

[1:00:17] Now, therefore, be a proclaimed that the Hidalgo County Commissioners Court, hereby offers its sincere gratitude for the accomplishments and the example set by Christina D. Veda,

[1:00:29] upon her retirement and wishes her well in the next chapter of her life as she enjoys spending time with her family and friends,

[1:00:36] scuba diving, hunting, and refurbishing classic cars.

[1:00:40] Approved this 7-day of March 2023.

[1:00:44] Second, all in favor say hi.

[1:00:46] I'm motion carries. Congratulations.

[1:00:53] And now we have Miss Christina Rivera.

[1:00:59] Thank you very much. I am humbled and honored to be recognized as such. I want to thank Judge Richard

[1:01:06] Cortes for his leadership and the assistance that he provided, especially during the COVID-19

[1:01:13] pandemic. I want to thank all of the county commissioners court for their continuous support

[1:01:20] for not only myself but for the entire Rio Grande Valley. As CEO of Rio Grande Regional Hospital,

[1:01:26] I want to thank our colleagues that I work tirelessly to provide health care that you can trust

[1:01:32] above all else. We are all committed to the care and improvement of human life and our colleagues

[1:01:38] within Rio Grande Regional Hospital have done that every single day. I also want to thank all

[1:01:45] of my friends that have supported me throughout my career and they're all here and I'm just very

[1:01:54] My children, my grandchildren, my entire family that has been behind me in developing my career.

[1:02:02] They have been with me through all the challenges that we've faced in work and in life.

[1:02:08] And have also been with me in celebrating all of the accomplishments.

[1:02:13] So with that, I'd like to then close by thanking the Lord above for his direction and sending me in the right path to come back to the Rio Grande Valley

[1:02:22] and give to the people that I love so much.

[1:02:25] Thank you very much.

[1:02:26] Have a wonderful day.

[1:02:27] Thank you.

[1:02:33] Well, I also want to say that, you know,

[1:02:35] we did go through a very terrible time with this pandemic

[1:02:38] and Chris was one of my first people that I would call

[1:02:43] to get good accurate information as to, you know,

[1:02:45] how the handle is to see.

[1:02:47] So you're going to be missed.

[1:02:48] You became a local treasure for us.

[1:02:51] But David, we don't know.

[1:02:54] And we'll miss you, but I hope that the corporation will put someone just as good as

[1:02:59] you behind you because we will miss your leadership.

[1:03:02] So thank you for that.

[1:03:04] And it's our pleasure to honor you this this morning.

[1:03:07] I can't speak for a long time.

[1:03:34] I can't speak for a long time.

[1:03:37] I can't speak for a long time.

[1:03:43] I can't speak for a long time.

[1:03:48] I can't speak for a long time.

[1:03:51] No, go ahead.

[1:03:53] I can't speak for a long time.

[1:03:54] Let me take a call and then I'll run across the car.

[1:03:55] Go ahead and please come over.

[1:03:58] OK.

[1:03:59] Just talk, guys.

[1:04:10] Everybody look at me, we'll put please one, two, three,

[1:04:22] two, three, got it.

[1:06:15] Now, we have the proclamation recognizing the Hidalgo County Public Defenders Office and

[1:06:21] public defender

[1:06:42] day.

[1:06:52] Whereas on March 18, 1963, the United States Supreme Court issued a landmark

[1:06:58] opinion in the case of Gideon versus wingwright.

[1:07:02] Clarence Gideon was convicted and incarcerated after he was refused in attorney.

[1:07:07] Whereas Gideon versus wingwright established the six amendment

[1:07:10] right to counsel for adults even those who could otherwise not afford to

[1:07:14] hire an attorney.

[1:07:15] And whereas public defenders are often tasked with a difficult job of fighting against injustices and abuses of power,

[1:07:24] while guarding the constitutional human and civil rights of ordinary citizens.

[1:07:30] County Public Defender's office was established in 2005 to protect the rights of

[1:07:35] Kithagel County's indigent community. And whereas the Kithagel County Public Defender's

[1:07:40] office has helped thousands of qualifying individuals over the last 18 years, the Kithagel County

[1:07:46] Public Defender's office has no power to appoint itself as the Goal Council, the Kithagel County

[1:07:51] student, the Defense Office determines the engines after and accused is arrested and it

[1:07:58] in turn, their eligibility are of independent defense services.

[1:08:04] Clients are represented by full-time assistant public defenders who are members in good

[1:08:09] standing with the Texas bar and who are not permitted to maintain a private practice.

[1:08:14] And whereas the Hithalgo County Public Defenders Office represents Indian individuals charged

[1:08:19] with misdemeanor and felony offenses from a reinment up to trial or resolution of their case.

[1:08:27] And whereas the Hidalgo County Public Defender's office is led by Chief Public Defender,

[1:08:31] Larry Esfasa, Chief Esfasa has led the office since 2019, and has focused on raising the

[1:08:38] quality of legal representation, the office provides to all clients.

[1:08:42] Chief Esfastra has also advocated for pay parity for his staff each year during the annual budget process and

[1:08:50] whereas the work of the Hidalgo County Public Defenders Office is an invaluable resource to our county because a strong

[1:08:57] indigent defense system increases fairness and accuracy of our criminal justice system and contributes to the safety and security of our community.

[1:09:06] Now, therefore, be a proclaim that the Hidalgo County Commissioners court recognizes and honors

[1:09:12] the Hidalgo County Public Defenders Office for their tireless pursuit for justice for

[1:09:18] our insurgent population and designate the day of March 18th, 2023 as public defender day

[1:09:25] in Hidalgo County.

[1:09:26] Approve this 7th day of March 20th, 23.

[1:09:35] Thank

[1:09:38] you.

[1:09:42] Thank you.

[1:09:44] Commissioner Judges, Commissioner.

[1:09:46] Thank you for recognizing our office today.

[1:09:50] Courts before you had a vision for this county when they created this office 18 years ago.

[1:09:56] And you've supported us throughout the years.

[1:09:58] And because of your support, we're able to provide services for the community, the

[1:10:02] indigenous community of Hidalau County, and to make sure that their rights are protected.

[1:10:09] And every day, this group of individuals go into the courtroom and they put up the fight

[1:10:14] for our clients for the community of Hidalau County.

[1:10:17] And for that, we thank you.

[1:10:19] We thank you for your service.

[1:12:20] Okay, we're going to go on to perform in a minute, but we're going to move to 28C, take

[1:12:29] Thank you, Judge. We have a representative from the MPO here. So I want to make sure that they get back to helping us get all that money.

[1:12:39] Let me

[1:12:42] just get to that.

[1:12:44] Good morning, John commissioners. Luis Bias, assistant director of the MPO.

[1:12:50] I'm here today to present 2022 their fair plan amendments, which is a collection of all right away for roadways within the entire region.

[1:13:00] all the way from star all the way to Cameron County.

[1:13:04] The amendments that were received this year were all from a double county, so we got a total of eight.

[1:13:10] That from the city of Edinburgh City of McCallan,

[1:13:13] precinct one and precinct four and the city of Donna.

[1:13:17] All of the amendments were included in your packet, all with supportive documentation from each local government.

[1:13:23] So today we're just here to get approval to move forward with these amendments and apply them to our overall plan.

[1:13:31] Let's take a motion to a second.

[1:13:35] On every side, aye.

[1:13:36] I'd like to the motion carried.

[1:13:37] Thank you very much.

[1:13:39] Thank you.

[1:13:39] For this gentleman.

[1:13:41] One of the quick one.

[1:13:43] I'd like to go to eight, eight of the Probate Court.

[1:13:55] Good morning.

[1:13:57] Good morning, Judge, and commissioners.

[1:13:58] joan Garcia.

[1:13:59] The presiding judge of the Lago County Probate Court.

[1:14:03] Thank you so much for the opportunity to present this morning and to pardon with us

[1:14:07] making this project a reality.

[1:14:10] The Dalgo County Probate Court is here today

[1:14:12] to request an expansion of the courts staff

[1:14:15] with a statutory Probate Court Associate Judge

[1:14:19] and an Assistant Court auditor.

[1:14:22] The Probate Court serves E Dalgo County

[1:14:25] with the original and exclusive jurisdiction

[1:14:27] of guardianships, probate matters, and mental health commitments.

[1:14:32] In 2001, the court number three was designated

[1:14:36] it as a probate court and since then, in over 20 years, it has remained the sole probate court

[1:14:42] in South Texas. There is no other probate court south of San Antonio. As a leader in our region,

[1:14:48] I believe it's our duty to plan for the future and to provide our constituents with superior

[1:14:55] government services.

[1:15:00] But he knows the growth that illegal county has had in the last 20 years in terms of population.

[1:15:08] Since then, in 2001, the case load has also increased in the public court. But we've remained the same in terms of one judge and the same number of staff.

[1:15:22] I said before and I will continue to say the COVID-19 pandemic was something that precipitated

[1:15:31] at exponential filings in the court.

[1:15:35] You all dealt at the epicenter of the pandemic and knowing how the death toll rose incredibly

[1:15:41] fast.

[1:15:42] The probate court now is dealing with the residual effects of the pandemic with increased

[1:15:48] filings. In 2020, we had a 52% increase in our filings and it has continued. Since

[1:15:56] pre-pandemic to just last year, we've seen a 67% increase in our filings. Now, what

[1:16:03] does that do? It strains the resources of the court. It takes more time to get a timely

[1:16:11] setting and it provides more work for our staff in terms of auditing our files and making

[1:16:17] ensure that we prevent abuse and fraud in our financial and fiduciary capacities.

[1:16:29] So, I am asking this court to expand the proway court because we do serve some of the most

[1:16:36] vulnerable populations in our county.

[1:16:39] We serve elderly, orphans, special needs individuals, widows, and the mentally ill.

[1:16:45] and proper staffing is crucial to ensure that we have an efficient administration of justice and, again, to prevent abuse fraud and neglect to those that most need our help.

[1:16:58] In closing, I'd like to make sure that everyone understands where the only remaining probate court, we've been the only one since 2001, we've had an increase in district courts and county courts, and over 10 courts added with still the same probate court.

[1:17:17] the increase in population has been addressed in the other courts.

[1:17:21] I think it's now time to address it with the probate court.

[1:17:25] My proposal, I believe, is a very conservative way to address the future needs of the court

[1:17:33] and the continuing growth of our county.

[1:17:35] Thank you so much.

[1:17:37] Motion approved.

[1:17:38] Second.

[1:17:38] Judge if I can't say if he works, I just want to commend you for bringing us statistics

[1:17:44] and showing us the need.

[1:17:46] I know that when I used to practice back in the day over 20 years ago, Homer got so

[1:17:52] with the only, he was a probate judge and we're here 23 years later and we still only have

[1:17:58] one court, we've expanded, added a bunch of courts and never expanded your office.

[1:18:04] Thank you for this conservative approach to handle everything that you guys handle.

[1:18:10] We're not opening a new court.

[1:18:11] We're assisting you with everything that you do.

[1:18:14] I think that it was fact based and we put you to the task of the Indian as more information.

[1:18:19] I know you presented to the judge and I.

[1:18:22] I mean, it's much needed and we hope that we can serve our community better.

[1:18:27] This is when you're serving people, it's usually in dire situations where people are trying to get on with their life.

[1:18:34] You know, they've lost somebody coast to them or whatever it may be, guardianship, and everything else that you do.

[1:18:40] It's much needed and thank you for leading this.

[1:18:44] I also want to add, I applaud you and judge for your approach to us with fact and evidence and really clearly, you know, expressing, you know, the need for us for us to do that.

[1:18:56] So I appreciate the way in the manner that you went about to do that.

[1:19:00] So Judge Commissioners, if I may, we do have a public participation form from his firm

[1:19:07] Eclarity on this item.

[1:19:10] Is this firm?

[1:19:11] Excuse me.

[1:19:12] Yes.

[1:19:13] This is an elected position, I believe, when it's judges.

[1:19:17] And in the back up, it talks about probate courts exist.

[1:19:22] 10 of Texas largest cities, areas.

[1:19:26] Do any of our cities have this?

[1:19:27] I know that it talks about how Dow County is one of the largest county and Texas ranking

[1:19:34] eighths, but it's also one of the poorest.

[1:19:37] And I pulled up and Valdi let me know that when I came up with an amount because there's

[1:19:42] three different things on the agenda today, I believe you're looking for $215,341.86.

[1:19:51] And our question is, when you know what the position is that you're running for and

[1:19:57] things, then we'd like to know why it's a constant, we have to add another one.

[1:20:03] And you did mention the county courts and the district courts, so many of them that we've

[1:20:08] seen in the past don't work seven, five days a week.

[1:20:13] So that was our question.

[1:20:14] What is the total that this is going to cost the taxpayers?

[1:20:17] Thank you.

[1:20:18] I'm glad I clarify that for you, madam.

[1:20:20] Thank you.

[1:20:21] And the good thing is it's going to cost us less opening on you.

[1:20:23] Exactly.

[1:20:24] So that's a great thing.

[1:20:26] Great job.

[1:20:26] I also want to thank you, you know, talking to some of your colleagues, the respect that they have for you.

[1:20:34] You show up to work every day, you work extra hours.

[1:20:38] I really appreciate some of the people that you represent are in your court.

[1:20:43] They've told me because you also sent them letters of, you know, she's a judge that shows up to work and is work very hard.

[1:20:51] So I appreciate everything that you do, and I feel this is very much needed.

[1:20:56] So thank you so much.

[1:20:59] I have a motion to approve.

[1:21:02] I have a motion to approve.

[1:21:03] I have a motion to second to approve.

[1:21:05] Any further discussion?

[1:21:07] All the favour say aye.

[1:21:09] Motion carries.

[1:21:10] Thank you.

[1:21:11] To the commissioner to judge.

[1:21:13] And thank you for giving me the respect to present to you and to provide you with all of the

[1:21:18] data necessary to move our county into the future.

[1:21:22] Thank you so much.

[1:21:24] Okay, we'll move it to open forum.

[1:21:29] It's kind of too.

[1:21:31] How many?

[1:21:32] Yes.

[1:21:33] First up, we have Ms. Bern McLeary.

[1:21:36] How many people do we have?

[1:21:38] How many do we have today, Ms.

[1:21:40] It's kind of too.

[1:21:42] Only two.

[1:21:44] Okay.

[1:21:44] So, Ms. Bern, there is a three minute time limit.

[1:21:46] I will advise when there is one minute and I will start when you start.

[1:21:50] Commissioners, it is my understanding that this court will support the creation of a law.

[1:21:55] that will allow the county to collect a fee for the disposal of solid waste.

[1:22:00] Also, that if the fee is not paid, it will be added to their tax bill at the end of the year.

[1:22:07] This means that $30 per month each property owner could see $360 added to their annual tax bill.

[1:22:15] The county has also discussed an increase in the emergency ambulance tax.

[1:22:20] This would add an additional $50 to each property owner for a service that is not freeing the count

[1:22:30] Citizens, millions, and federal funds for the installation of Internet antennas. The problem is that the rural areas cannot afford $90 fee for the home connection.

[1:22:42] In summary, these are all good services, but the people in the rural area cannot afford them. If these fees are mandate, then they will increase the number of families that will become homeless.

[1:22:53] in I guess some people can pick up their property at auction.

[1:22:58] Remember, if your property tax is not paid by the end of the year,

[1:23:02] a 24% increase could be imposed.

[1:23:05] And it also adds an additional 15% because of a private attorney

[1:23:10] is employed to collect the link with taxes.

[1:23:14] Now, in reference to the construction problem with the courthouse,

[1:23:17] members of the House were present with Judge Ramon Garcia

[1:23:20] and the Commissioners Court selected a firm for the new courthouse.

[1:23:26] The management team responsible for the construction submitted a request to be held

[1:23:31] harmless as a result of the selection.

[1:23:34] It turns out they were right to best firm with the best experience should have been selected.

[1:23:40] And also today I hope commissioners and county judge I'll got a picture.

[1:23:44] I talked to Raoul Fassine earlier and I believe this is increasing to and I talked to Eddie

[1:23:50] And thank you.

[1:23:51] I hope that you will check on it because I'm getting calls that they're almost having

[1:23:56] head on crashes.

[1:23:58] Thank you.

[1:23:59] Thank you, man.

[1:24:00] Is it good?

[1:24:04] Yes.

[1:24:05] Lastly, we have Ms. Andrea Irrida.

[1:24:09] Ms. Irrida?

[1:24:10] Ms. Irrida.

[1:24:19] Hola, Ms. Irrida.

[1:24:21] I have a leave in the three minutes.

[1:24:22] Yuleo, I'm going to leave when I leave.

[1:24:24] I'm going to leave when I leave.

[1:24:25] I'm going to leave when I leave.

[1:24:26] Okay.

[1:24:27] We will not.

[1:24:28] We will not.

[1:24:29] Do we have a interpreter?

[1:24:31] Yes.

[1:24:31] We do have an effort to judge a lot.

[1:24:35] So, yes, I do.

[1:24:36] Yes, well, these days I,

[1:24:39] I'm going to sign up for Andrea Riera.

[1:24:41] I'm going to represent this,

[1:24:43] this, the colonial side of the mission.

[1:24:45] My motive is to talk to the Lord of the Virgin Mary.

[1:24:49] I think we all know about it.

[1:24:53] I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

[1:24:57] And my motive, my presence and I,

[1:24:59] Thank you very much for your attention, Mr. Eduardo Villarreal,

[1:25:04] which is always the truth of this,

[1:25:06] the list for our expectations,

[1:25:09] for what we ask for.

[1:25:11] And my goal is to thank you for this.

[1:25:15] Now, at that moment, we are very grateful to all the country of the Joma,

[1:25:20] all the entry from the colony of the Pradera colony,

[1:25:25] and also this,

[1:25:27] That was the reason we thought we could not do it.

[1:25:32] And thank you for the support of the Lord of the World.

[1:25:35] I am happy.

[1:25:37] I am happy and the reason we thought we could not do it because we had all the

[1:25:43] support of the Lord of the World.

[1:25:44] And I do not know why we could not do it because we had to see that many things

[1:25:49] many ways for us to be able to do it.

[1:25:52] Thank you for the support of the Lord of the World.

[1:25:55] Thank you very much.

[1:25:58] Thank you.

[1:26:01] Good

[1:26:06] morning.

[1:26:09] I am representing the colonial mission.

[1:26:15] I am here from the loop.

[1:26:18] I am here to talk and thank you for being always ready for us and talking to us.

[1:26:26] now our home road street has been gotten paid and we also have public lighting that that was

[1:26:33] something we didn't know we could do. And thanks for his intervention and thanks to the

[1:26:39] Lord we were able to and we didn't know that was possible they kept telling us it was because

[1:26:46] the lights were back and he couldn't be done but we're just here to thank Mr. Bidef. Thank you.

[1:26:52] Thank you.

[1:26:54] I believe that concludes our open forum.

[1:26:57] Next, we have item 7A, the approved Resolution Support Accidentation Legislation.

[1:27:03] Mike, you want to come over and.

[1:27:06] And Judge Commission, as we do also have a public participation point from this firm

[1:27:10] economy on this item as well.

[1:27:13] You should, you should stay firm.

[1:27:15] C.K.

[1:27:15] The facts.

[1:27:19] Morning, Judge and Commissioners.

[1:27:21] The resolution we're asking is for support of the legislature.

[1:27:24] The facts aren't important.

[1:27:25] Go ahead, Mike.

[1:27:29] We're looking at trying to provide brush and garbage service in the owning corporate areas.

[1:27:36] We have approximately 68,000 residents or water meters that people do not have garbage

[1:27:44] service.

[1:27:44] Only about 20% right now have service from private holders.

[1:27:49] The issue that we're having in Hidalgo County is that Hidalgo County used to be, it was

[1:27:55] rural.

[1:27:56] If you lived in the county, that means you lived in the county.

[1:27:58] You had chickens and pigs in the cow or whatever you had, it's becoming urbanized.

[1:28:03] Hidalgo County's approving 1,000 lots a month in new lots, and that's causing a real problem

[1:28:09] for the county.

[1:28:10] The county and the rural areas is becoming urbanized, and the citizens in the county are

[1:28:16] requesting and to some extent demanding a higher level of service.

[1:28:21] A lot of those people who are moving out, it's not like you live in five acres or 10 acres

[1:28:24] or living in subdivisions.

[1:28:26] And now the ones that want to, they can go ahead and hire a private service.

[1:28:30] But the ones who don't are either burning their trash in the backyard or they're dumping

[1:28:34] at the entrance to the subdivision or the dumping into the drainage ditch or the irrigation

[1:28:39] canals.

[1:28:40] And that's causing a drainage problem, which the county's spending millions and millions

[1:28:44] dollars. They're throwing not just brush and garbage. Sometimes refrigerators and stoves.

[1:28:52] For those of you who don't know, I was a city manager and let's go for about the last seven

[1:28:55] and a half years. And we had several subdivisions that were flooded because the pipes were

[1:29:00] plugged with brush and garbage stone in them. And so the purpose that we're trying to do is

[1:29:07] trying to have legislation that will allow the county to go ahead and contract out with private

[1:29:12] dollars to provide garbage and brush service.

[1:29:16] It'll be once a week, garbage service, and once a month brush service, and the brush is going

[1:29:22] to be basically three scoops on the grapplers that goes in the truck.

[1:29:25] We are looking at maintaining the transfer station so that if they have extra bush they can

[1:29:30] take it there, or if they have a party that weekend, and they can't put it all into the

[1:29:34] 90 gallon container, they can take the transfer station.

[1:29:37] Right now, the way it stands is that the county cannot go out for proposals in any city's

[1:29:45] ETAJ.

[1:29:45] So we're in the process of getting resolutions of support from all the cities that's going

[1:29:50] to allow that to happen.

[1:29:51] The majority of the 20s cities have already passed resolution supporting us.

[1:29:55] Edmund Berg has on, there's on tonight, last week, McAllen passed there.

[1:30:00] We'll have all cities that will be supporting that. It's also beneficial for the cities. What's happening with the cities is that people who live in the county who are not paying for service are bringing that garbage and dumping it in commercial dumpsters. Sometimes in the parks, sometimes in businesses.

[1:30:18] And so it's a real problem. I had a real problem in Westico with people dumping it in the parks and businesses. And so businesses are always complaining, why do I need to have for extra services?

[1:30:28] because you can tell that the garbage that's in my dumpster is not from my business.

[1:30:33] It's residential garbage, and it's being brought in from people from outside the city of Westico.

[1:30:39] And so all the cities are experiencing that.

[1:30:41] Not the only one who doesn't really have that problem is McAllen, because they're in a unique situation.

[1:30:46] They've got Westico in one side and they had broken the side and mission and they'll go.

[1:30:50] But those other cities are having those problems.

[1:30:52] So I think if you can pass this resolution and we can convince the legislator to give us a yours already to do that.

[1:30:58] it would make a huge difference. One last thing, the judge has always talked about fairness.

[1:31:05] Not 70 percent of all taxes paid to the county are paid by residents and businesses inside the

[1:31:12] city. 30 percent is paid by county residents. Currently the county is spending $8 million a year

[1:31:19] in picking up brush illegal dumping in the county and running the transfer stations. I know that

[1:31:25] 7 million dollars, 70% is being paid by people who live inside the city.

[1:31:30] So when we start talking about fairness, then it ought to be paid by the people who are

[1:31:35] needing the service.

[1:31:38] Garbage is not a tax.

[1:31:40] If you talk to any auditor who does the auditing of garbage, it's a service.

[1:31:44] In the cities, all the city residents pay for garbage and brush service in the water bill.

[1:31:50] Just just the way it is.

[1:31:51] I live in McAllen, I pay $28 a month for garbage and brush my lots of $124 white, so I pay a little bit more, plus I have recycling, so I pay another $3.

[1:32:04] So it's a user fee, and so what we're asking is if you will please consider taking action on this particular resolution.

[1:32:12] Thank you, Judge, and commission, I'll answer any questions.

[1:32:14] You know, what's frustrating of Mike and my colleague is that the people that are opposed to this are the people that have tax at their house

[1:32:22] They get the service that these people are asking for and all we're trying to do is provide a service to the people that don't have it

[1:32:29] I kind of imagine not having a trash can where I could take my trash out

[1:32:32] Walk 20 feet and throw it in the trash as opposed to these people that their only option is to go miles away to a collection site

[1:32:40] put it into their truck if they have one, if not the back of their car, and so we're just

[1:32:45] providing the service and it's frustrating that the people are against it. Other people that

[1:32:50] can walk outside 20 feet and put the trash in their trash can. Hopefully we can get this thing done.

[1:32:56] It's a tremendous benefit to the people that don't have it right now. 80% of our rural residents

[1:33:01] don't have trash collection. So where are they putting it? They're putting it in trash cans that

[1:33:07] to commercial businesses, trained as it is, is everything that you just said, it's frustrating

[1:33:12] that it's taking this much effort to get something so logical approved, but I'm

[1:33:17] the commissioner.

[1:33:20] I was a great explanation of what we wanted to do that, that is absolutely the best

[1:33:27] that I've heard commissioner.

[1:33:29] And the other thing that Mike, you didn't say that we had public hearings, I mean we went

[1:33:33] to all the different precincts to listen to the people.

[1:33:37] And the great majority, I'm probably

[1:33:39] what a super majority wants this to happen.

[1:33:43] So for us to have any opposition, not only from citizens here,

[1:33:47] or even somebody or state-led legislations,

[1:33:49] that this is not the right thing to do,

[1:33:52] then I might read and delete it as well,

[1:33:55] because everything tells us that this is a must thing to do.

[1:33:58] So with that said, tell us

[1:34:01] the same work comments or we can vote in the motion?

[1:34:04] Yeah, I'd like to just expand upon what Eddie said,

[1:34:07] which is, you know, the opposition coming from people

[1:34:09] who would have the current side service already.

[1:34:11] They wouldn't even have to pay this fee

[1:34:13] because they already have the service inside the city

[1:34:15] or whatever service they have.

[1:34:17] So, these are for the people that don't have the service.

[1:34:20] I would like to mention, Judge,

[1:34:22] that, you know, next to drainage issues,

[1:34:24] I think that this illegal dumping

[1:34:25] is probably the second biggest problem

[1:34:27] that we have in our county.

[1:34:28] And it's also prevalent throughout the state of Texas

[1:34:30] So I think it is an important issue.

[1:34:32] illegal dumping causes all kinds of health problems

[1:34:34] and drainage issues.

[1:34:35] I'm glad you mentioned that we conducted public hearings

[1:34:38] in every single precinct.

[1:34:41] In addition, we also met out with a lot

[1:34:43] of the colonial programs, a rise, and loop it,

[1:34:46] and have their support as well.

[1:34:49] One thing that we didn't mention was

[1:34:51] that there's a lot of illegal dumping on farmland.

[1:34:53] I know that you mentioned in the cities and businesses,

[1:34:56] but our farmers have to deal with illegal dumping

[1:34:59] of appliances, white goods, construction goods, residential trash and tires that happens everywhere.

[1:35:06] The other thing is that Cameron County wants to join along in our bill, which shows I think

[1:35:12] that this is a regional issue and they want to make sure that they are able to have the same type of

[1:35:18] program. So we're looking at not only a county program but also a Cameron County. And I want to correct

[1:35:25] The public comments that were made earlier that this will not be on a tax bill.

[1:35:29] This will be on a utility bill, which we have coordinated through all the water supply

[1:35:34] companies.

[1:35:35] So if you don't pay your bill, the water supply company may turn off your water temporarily

[1:35:40] until that bill is paid, but there will not be a tax bill or a tax lien that goes with this.

[1:35:45] So people are not going to be losing their property.

[1:35:48] So that's just, that is the fact, and we need to make sure that that gets out there.

[1:35:52] The other benefit to this is that because it would be in the utility, we believe that people that can't afford these utility bills may qualify under our CSA or other programs that may make those utility bills as a program that is able to get some additional funding for individuals that they might qualify to get some of these utilities paid for through some of these other programs.

[1:36:18] So those are some of the other facts that I wanted to bring out.

[1:36:20] I think this is a great initiative.

[1:36:23] We are working hard when we were in Austin,

[1:36:25] as I mentioned earlier, that we are trying to reach out

[1:36:27] to all of our local legislators to make sure

[1:36:29] that they understand just how important this is.

[1:36:32] Yeah, and unfortunately that misinformation

[1:36:34] that we're having, that this is a tax,

[1:36:36] and that what's going to do with whatever is heard in us,

[1:36:39] our ability to serve the people that need to serve as the most.

[1:36:43] And to save taxpayers, you know, money.

[1:36:47] But anyway, thank you for that report.

[1:36:50] We have a motion in the second, I think, to approve it and further discussion.

[1:36:55] All in favor say aye.

[1:36:56] I'm motion carries.

[1:37:00] I think we now need to move into co-session, pursuant to chapter 551 of the Texas Government

[1:37:08] Code on the section 551.271, 7272, 7487, we need to retire the co-session to discuss

[1:37:16] those items.

[1:37:17] I have a motion to do so.

[1:37:19] Some sections.

[1:37:21] All of everybody say aye.

[1:37:22] Aye.

[1:37:22] Motion carries.

[1:37:23] It's 16 minutes after 11, 11, 16.

[1:37:32] Okay, we're back from close session. It's 12.22 PM. We have some action items.

[1:37:40] I'm going to wait until we get to that item, but I do want to make a real quick correction earlier on.

[1:37:47] For the record, I had asked for under a consent agenda.

[1:37:50] for eight, nine, eight, nine, six, that commissioner via railhead abstain.

[1:37:56] It was actually eight, nine, nine, three, five, but commissioner did not have any discussion on that agenda item.

[1:38:04] So I'd just like to do for as a correction and a clarification, consent agenda item eight, nine, nine, three, five was the intended abstention from commissioner via railhead.

[1:38:19] But again, he did not have any discussion on that consent agenda item.

[1:38:24] And so, Joe, so I'm going to ask the court just to entertain a motion

[1:38:28] and set this for that correction and clarification.

[1:38:34] So, move, second.

[1:38:35] All of it, I would say aye.

[1:38:37] Motion carries with those corrections.

[1:38:40] And, Judge, for the record, as we all saw Commissioner, we had

[1:38:44] did not have any, I did not vote on that correction or, or

[1:38:58] I'm going to try to get the sheriff's office out of here 11A,

[2:36:25] Good day.

[2:36:25] Congratulations with your permission.

[2:36:26] Item 28 before I go to item 28 just for the record and as our process, we did have public

[2:36:32] participation form for Item 26H1 and 2781 from Ms. from the clarity, but she is not present.

[2:36:41] Item 28A 1 2 and 3, there is no action for this week.

[2:36:49] Item 28B.

[2:36:50] We do have our representative from the Library of Presentation, my Library, for the July 1st, 2020, 2022 to December 31st, 2022, the Lincoln Collection Report.

[2:37:02] Good afternoon, Judge Commissioner's Michael Gunner, my partner, Kelly, and the Venezuelan side was President Machina runoff to court, so she does send her apologies.

[2:37:11] I'll be very quick because I know it's been a long agenda.

[2:37:14] This is our halftime report the first six months of the fiscal year.

[2:37:18] I'm going to dispense with most of the item in the packet you have all the details in the packets so you can review that.

[2:37:26] I'd like to jump to the second to the last page.

[2:37:30] If I can get to the second to the last page, I think that's really the most important part.

[2:37:39] There we go. There we go.

[2:37:41] Judging to that, Commissioner, just so you know, this past six months, we've collected just over 8.1 million dollars on the afternoon of the county.

[2:37:48] We always benchmarked to the prior six for the prior year for the same six months last year, it was 8.5 million.

[2:37:54] So we're looking at about $350,000 now from last year, but again, the last year and the prior year to that were two record years here in the afternoon of the county.

[2:38:02] And if you look at our percentage at the bottom, we're running nearly identical percentage wise.

[2:38:07] We're very happy about that.

[2:38:09] And if you look at the very number at the bottom of each respect of bar chart, that's

[2:38:14] the adjusted DTR delinquent tax roll.

[2:38:18] And that really is in my opinion one of the most important numbers, because that's a total amount

[2:38:22] of outstanding delinquent taxes owed to the county.

[2:38:25] And for the first time in about seven years, we've actually seen a decrease in the amount

[2:38:32] in versus 32 million last year, and the way we get to decreasing this number is by increasing

[2:38:39] collections, which we did the past two years. So even though the county stacks revenue

[2:38:43] on a current basis continues to increase every year, which is obviously very positive for the county,

[2:38:48] what we want to see is the outstanding taxes owed to the county go down. And so we've seen that go down

[2:38:53] by almost 700,000 this year as a result of the collections of prior two years. So again, we're very happy

[2:38:59] about where we stand today at the halftime report, 8.1 million dollars, we're very confident

[2:39:04] that by the time we come back at the end of the fiscal year, that we'll be able to meet

[2:39:08] or exceed our record year from last year and the year prior.

[2:39:12] So in another show, just want to let you all know that things are going well.

[2:39:15] Again, we expect to finish this fiscal year as strong as we have in the last couple of years.

[2:39:20] And if you have any questions, I'll be more happy to take them at this time.

[2:39:29] Thank you, Shar.

[2:39:31] Thank you.

[2:39:34] Thank you.

[2:39:34] Thank you sir. Item D. I'm going to turn over to Commissioner precinct one. It is

[2:39:42] acceptance approval of supplemental grant number two work authorization number one as submitted

[2:39:46] by the project engineer LNG engineering to update the program by the Metropolitan Planning

[2:39:50] Organization on all cat seven category seven and nine tip funded projects and unified transportation

[2:39:58] program category seven project evaluation forms. Thank you part of the new initiative from the

[2:40:03] is they want status updates on a quarterly basis to make sure that, you know, what came up

[2:40:09] with a recent meeting was that we weren't spending our money fast enough and we were leaving

[2:40:13] money on the table with respect to statewide MPO dollars. So part of a new procedure that they're

[2:40:19] implementing now is that they want status updates on a quarterly basis. We all have our picks

[2:40:25] in our office, people that are responsible in our precincts for the projects advancing. But

[2:40:31] We rely heavily on our engineers of record to assist us with the preparation of those projects.

[2:40:37] So this is additional work that the MPO is now requiring of us, and this is just to give

[2:40:44] the engineers of record a level of effort compensation for the additional reporting that they're

[2:40:48] going to need to do for all of our precincts on a quarterly basis, and I'll make a motion

[2:40:52] to approve.

[2:40:54] Thank you.

[2:40:56] Thank you.
