>> good morning judge and commissioners.
>> anybody here on that item if you would like to come up. We can sure - >> let's go to the hospice.
>> yes, the hospice people are here.
>> good morning judge and commissioners. Whereas for
more than 40 years hospice has helped provide comfort and
dignity to millions of people allowing them to spend their final moments at home surrounded by the people important to them. Whereas, the hospice model is built on
an inner discipline team oriented approach including
expert medical care, quality symptom control and comprehensive pain management as a foundation of care.
whereas, in an increasingly fragmented and broken
healthcare system hospice is one of the few sectors that demonstrates how healthcare can and should work and is best for
the people it serves. Whereas, 1.61 million medicare beneficiaries living with life illnesses and families receive
care from the nations hospice programs and communities across
the united states in 2019. Whereas, hospice organizations are advocates and educators about advance care planning that help individuals make decisions about the care that
they want. Now, therefore, we proclaim the hidalgo county commissioners court proclaims the month of november 2022 as
national hospice care month and encourage all county residents to increase their knowledge about person centered, holistic care for all individuals facing serious and life limiting
illness. Approved this 15th day of november, 2022. >> motion. >> second. >> all in favor say aye, the motion carries. [applause]
>> judge, if I may before they say if you words. My mom
passed away september first and she was in the aj hospice. Doctor castille you were our caretaker and I want to thank you for your generosity, your tenderness and care. It really
help. The assistance that you guys provided, the information
really allowed her to pass in peace and allowed us as a family to grieve appropriately. So, thank you for what you did. [applause] >> are, first of all I would
linklike to thank the county judge and commissioners for
allowing us to be here and it is an honor for you all.
november is a time of giving thanks for all of our blessings and it happens to be national hospice and palliative care
month. Palliative care means to lessen the severity of a patient's suffering especially with life limiting illness.
however we take this time and opportunity to engage with
local hospice to engage about the value that hoss was relative care provides to patients and families. This is
an time to honor the nurses, homecare aides, social workers
and care workers who make a difference every day in our patient stay with their family. These heroic caregivers play a
vital role in the healthcare system. Let's raise awareness about the highest quality of care going to patients through this difficult time at end of life. And let's carry the
sentiment through the year to follow. Hospice and palliative care workers are skilled professionals that provide medical, emotional, social and spiritual care to those with
long-term and terminal illnesses. Plus, they provide support to the family members as well. The team includes
physicians, pas, nurse practitioners, nurses, social workers, therapists and more. It takes compassion and care to
be a hospice and palliative care worker. As well as patience and endurance as the hours are long and
unpredictable. Not only do they provide care for the patients but lessen the burdens on the families. It takes a very special person to work in hospice and relative care.
whether you are the one receiving palliative care, have a family member in hospice, let's take some time to honor these members and thank you for this time. [applause]
>> anyone else? >> no, it is a really special
type of care that we are privileged to give to our community. Just being able to help the patients and families
through this crucial part of life is just a part of our life
and being able to give it the respect and care and compassion that is needed to make it good, a good part of life. Something
we are scared of but can be good, is something we work to
get better at every day. To bring it to the community, this type of awareness, to let people know more about this option that they have if they ever need it. Thank you all
for helping us raise awareness in our community. Thank you. >> thank you. >> do you want to go national
injury prevention day? >> proclamation declaring
november 18th as national injury prevention day. Whereas injuries are the leading cause of death with children aged 1 to 18 whereas hidalgo county is contributing to the safety and
well-being of our children, the hospital state agencies and community organizations are committed to their crucial role to reduce injury and death by promoting safe practices.
whereas, national injury prevention day in its third year raises awareness and promotes efforts to reduce injuries in children. Hidalgo county commits everyone in
there endeavor to protect children against injury and protecting safety of the communities that they serve
whereas this includes the health system and trauma center and all others involved in there endeavor to protect children from injury. Now, therefore, the hidalgo county
commissioners court november 18th to be the national injury prevention day. Approved this day, november 15th, 2022.
>> we have a motion and a second. All in favor say aye, the motion carries. [applause] we-ki thank you so much for
letting us participate here and carlos alessio one of the trauma surgeons our new trauma center, is here. Injury
prevention is something that is dependent on us especially gun
violence and falling from our elderly people that arrive in
the county especially during the winter. This proclamation really helps us. I wish we could have all of the county buildings on green that day because that is what this day
is about. Hopefully we can bring this to the county. Thank you. [applause] >> proclamation declaring
november as epilepsy awareness month. Where epilepsy is a
nationwide effort back to the epilepsy foundation to make awareness and changing the conversation around epilepsy,
seizures and side effects. As well as save lives through care and advocacy services. Whereas epilepsy is a brand disorder
with unprovoked seizures that can affect anyone at any age at
any time. Whereas it is recognized as the fourth most common neurological disorder affecting over 710,000
hispanics in the united states. There's an estimated 15,000 people in held logo county actively living with epilepsy.
5000 senior citizens have epilepsy in hidalgo county and
whereas people with epilepsy need access to affordable, directed healthcare whereas with increased public knowledge
with epilepsy and how to respond to seizures we can help change how people anchor and perceive epilepsy now therefore
claimed the hidalgo county ct. Hereby proclaims the month of november as epilepsy awareness month approved this november
15, 2022. >> second elite motion to approve. >> second. >> all in favor say aye, the motion carries.[applause]
>> nathaniel is very excited. Good morning commissioners.
thank you for having us. Usually I have my 17-year-old daughter with me but I'm happy to tell you she is at school
today. It is extraordinary because just after a year ago
she lost total control. She broke through all of her medication and the day after christmas we drove to houston and we were inpatient for a week. It's also extorting a
because we came out that stay with wonderful new spirit we
believe that since her last go at resection at 2015 we were
out of medicine, out of science and data and that surgery was no longer an option. Knowing this inpatient state we were
told that science has been made and she is in a series two of
three and we are wrapping up with laser ablation at the end of this month. I am telling you this because just in 2016
we have ran out of medicine. There was nothing that could be done for her. Now, here we are taking this next giant leap.
it is radical that the valley not only catch up but keep up
with the treatment of epilepsy. I am encouraged in what dhr is doing and they are trying to get to a level iii epilepsy
center. Most of our kids who are intractable have to go to euston, san antonio or corpus to get this care. We ask that
any opportunity you have to support our medical communities and build our neurology programs that specifically address epilepsy we would like to do so. Now, my buddy,
nathaniel has been patient and he has something to say to you. >> hello, my name is nathaniel. Stop seizures.
hello, my name is nathaniel. Stop seizures.
>> tell them thank you. >> thank you. Hello, my name
is nathaniel. Stop seizures. Thank you. [applause]
>> nathaniel talks through his ipad. And his mom has helped
him hear chi make sure he has a voice for himself.
>> thank you very much for supporting the epilepsy
community. I never asked to join this community. Fortunately when nathaniel was diagnosed at 14 months I had
nowhere to turn to. It will be a forever lifetime journey that I'm so glad to have the epilepsy support t group full
of people who have traveled this journey who will continue
and who offer me resources, advice and support. Like april
said, if you have the opportunity to support the medical community and bring down a level iv, level v
hospital epilepsy we appreciate it. You don't understand how many times we have had to make the sacrifice to travel out of
town to get the quality of care that we need. In this difficult journey I do not wish epilepsy on anybody. We are
okay and nathaniel has come a long way. His seizures, thank
god, are controlled. He has had surgeries and he is on
medication and we don't know what the future looks like. For now nathaniel has made so much progress more than what
was ever expected. Thank you so much. >> thank you. [applause] [applause]
>> judge, item 5d if I may proceed is a proclamation
declaring november 16, 2022 as 211 texas program celebration
and referral national day. Judge, as you well know and
commissioners, as you know, hidalgo county is privileged to have a 211 system and informational sum for social services. People can pick up the phone, dial 211, get an
operator in english or spanish and ask questions about social services that are available to them in the community. It's probably the best-kept secret in the entire county and one
thing that we found out working through the prosperity task force that mr. Reyna is going to talk about. Judge, it's your initiative that started this conversation about how do
we help people in poverty escape poverty? The number 1 thing is to get information in front of them so they can
access the wonderful services that are here in the county. I want to invite mr. Reyna to come up and speak briefly about
211 and the prosperity task force. >> good morning and thank you for allowing us to be here. I
arrived here in the valley back in 1996 after a 20 year air
force career. When I arrived the unemployment rate in
hidalgo county was about 23, 24 percent. Now they are 7.8
percent, 7.7. There has been some prosperity. Thanks to the
judge initiative we have started or he started a process
way back in march of 2020 that something more had to be done
because the situation here in hidalgo county is what we would
be considered to be dire. When you have at least 40 percent of
our citizens in poverty that is not a good situation at all.
so, the task force main objective is to get people into
prosperity. Groups were created to look at some of the items that needs to be addressed. For example,
housing, food insecurity, transportation, counseling,
mentoring, workforce development, economic development, higher learning and then there's also an
administrative group. The discussions with all the groups that we are having, the services to residents group
kept saying 211 is the answer. I look at myself. I was
educated by the finest organization in the world the united states air force. I was the dean at stc for business
and technology and I had no idea what 211 is. I said well,
if you think 211 is an answer then we need to make 211
equivalent to 911. Any kid out there knows if there is a
situation going on they call 911. How many of us think of
211 that way? I guarantee you that we don't. I am glad that
there is this proclamation being talked about. There is
more that needs to be done. The prosperity task force, each
group, what they are doing is taking inventory of what we have in the county. We are finding where there might be
some gaps. This is one initiative, one item that we
are going to push forward and this is just the beginning. There's more that needs to be done with 211 and I thank you
for allowing us to be here this morning. [applause]
>> judge, today we do have dalia duarte with the 211 system representing abby and abby since her regrets for not
being able to be with us today. Really, 211 is exactly what mr.
reyna talked about. A clearinghouse of information were nonprofits, community-based organizations
can fill out a form about the services they offer. It is kept on a database system and people call nine211, people can access it online. I don't know if jackie can bring that up.
there is a website, there it is. Type in your zip code and click on what together item you are needing, housing
assistance, utility assistance, impartial to utility
assistance, of course. But all kinds of services. It will
pull up a menu of different services available right there in that zip code. You can do by phone or about silly neonlin
it is english or spanish. Really, the one thing that held
the 211 system back is a lack of knowledge that the system is out there. With this proclamation today and
representative with folks from the urban county program representing the food bank, really, all of the community based organizations that serve hidalgo county, we urge those
organizations to join the system. We want residents in
the county as mario said that 211 is as vital as 911.
through this proclamation we ask for the entire county
support it with your permission I would like to read the proclamation. Whereas, 211, the texas community council of
the valley has made a central contribution to individuals and
counties across the nation to provide information and referrals in there communities and whereas 211, the texas committee county council educates and encourages callers
to dial the three digit number as an essential aspect of enabling and enhancing their education, health and quality of life and whereas 211 texas/the community council of
the valley promotes committee wide education and referrals
throughout our cities, suburbs, colonialist, rural areas and whereas 211 texas committee counsel is celebrating 25 years of information and referrals, advocacy, follow-ups and
providing proven results for americans now therefore be it proclaimed that the hidalgo county commissioners court does
hereby proclaim the month of november 16, 2022 as 211 texas
community council of the valley information and referral day in recognition of their hard work in all area centers. Approved
this 15th day of november, 2022. >> a make a motion. > second.
>> judge: all in favor say aye, the motion
carries.[applause] >> judge quickly I want to do
point out that 211 in the rio grande valley was started by
the united way of south texas. Lily could not be here today
but certainly wanted to express her good wishes on the
anniversary. It was started as a project of the united way of south texas. We are very grateful for united way and their leadership in all of this. Judge, with your
permission may I proceed with my agenda item so I may be dismissed? > we have an open forum. If you wait until epicafter the form I would be happy to accommodate pier the
next item is open forum. >> thank you judge. I would like to remind the public that they are always welcome to
produce a pay in public forum. It does not allow attacks on
individuals. It cannot be threatening in nature. >> do I translate that? >>.
>> thank you. From agnes? Mr. Magnus?
>> yes first we have mr. Chavez. >> please be advised that there is a three minute time
limit. I will let you know when it's one minute. You can begin sir. >> my name is lupe chavez. I
am a 9/11 survivor and proud son of a world war ii veteran.
if I'm not mistaken, the county court just approved renaming a memorial park which is a memorial to all the veterans to
one person. I don't think my father or veterans would
approve of that. Secondly, I inhere because of these items
on domestic violence. I had a friend in san alamo her name is
melinda garza, may she rest in peace. I have been asked politically the establishment and I was convicted of a crime
a nonviolent crime for evading arrest in a vehicle because the
pd was harassing meet when someone was a commissioner and their brother had a lot of schoolboard people. At any
rate I had to go to every probation meeting, I had to pay
every fine. It was even to the point where I had fallen behind in my family was celebrating my son's birthday party at peter
piper and who should be there but I probation officer looking at me. Spending money on a party for my son and giving me
the eyes like okay, the next time you come you better pay
the fine. My friend melinda garza was dating a man the name
of matt garza. He has a long criminal history and part of that history was domestic violence. He never went to his
meetings, he never paid his fines. Because of that, he was free to murder my friend melinda garza. She is not the
only friend of mine who has been murdered by domestic
violence. Now, additionally, I heard all these wonderful
comments about hospice care and I am sorry, mr. Torres to hear
about your family suffering. There is a world war ii family the nel family and they suffer because of the palazzo family and comfort house and this patterson and her accomplices
were able to smother him to death. If I am not mistaken, I don't see her anymore but one of the 13th court of appeals
judges and a county judge intervened on criminal matter involving funds. I know we all talk about this red wave. I'm
never good about mixing primary colors but if you mix red and
blue do you know what you get? You get elected officials from hidalgo county who are really democrats in name only. Thank
you for your time. >> thank you sir. Mr. Magnus?
>> next we have miss mclarty. >> miss mclarty there is a
three minute time limit I will advise when there is one minute and I will start when you start. >> commissioner, I am sorry about your mom I know what it
feels like and it is very painful. Commissioners, I am sure that when each of you decide to run for office it was with the intent of improving the lives of the people and
families here in hidalgo county. Judge, I remember
meeting with you and finding out that addressing poverty was your primary object of. Soon, thereafter, he wrote an article
in the monitor indicating the improvement of conditions of
poverty was central to the future of this county. Each of you have similar aspirations. What happened to those people?
what could it be that you forgot after you were elected?
because at each meeting it is a constant spin, spin, spin. The
fact that I heard today and I'm stating it the percent of the population who live here in hidalgo county are in poverty.
that does not seem to be as important as when your
elections when you first came to office. How is spending
usd420 million in bonds for buildings and how is that going
to improve the lives of hidalgo county families? The lines are
still long and most of the buildings if you want to get your taxes or car tax. These expenditures will only increase
the debt which will increase the property. The level of
party will increase as long as the county commissioners keep spending. I know it's easy 1 million here, a couple million
there. How is spending millions to take over private businesses help the economy? Taking over private businesses
that pay taxes and then require a population that lives in poverty to pay more to support this is ridiculous. It's easy for y'all, you make over usd100,000 or whatever but the
majority of that 40 percent, if this were your money would you do it and spend it the same way? The answer is no, you
would not. Thank you sir. >> will move to item 6a.
>> thank you judge thank you commissioners for the courtesy. Item number 16 a is requesting an approval to accept the
donation of usd1000 to south texas region prominent health plan to help the americorps senior program at the under the
