Uh 359 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:29,240 food science and kitchen skills, again, we're providing those young people some 360 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:34,160 life skills. Angie does a great job in the 4-H program. 361 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:39,040 Uh her membership grew this past year with our 4-H members. 362 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:43,960 Uh very very proud of that. She has uh quite a few volunteers that uh 363 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:48,080 help with that. Of course, we can't do our job without our adult volunteers and 364 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:51,480 Angie does a good job of recruiting those and training those and getting 365 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:56,320 those uh parents involved. 366 00:24:55,040 --> 00:25:02,440 One of the important things that we do is 367 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:06,640 ag literacy literacy education for our young people and Angie can get into 368 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:11,080 those schools, work with those teachers and providing 369 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:14,880 kind of that education whether it's about water, 370 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:18,600 whether it's about biology and life sciences through agriculture, whether 371 00:25:17,360 --> 00:25:22,760 it's just ag awareness and where their food 372 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:28,080 comes from and and the importance of agriculture and and production to their 373 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:33,920 lives and so Angie does a great job. You can see the number of youth that she 374 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:38,880 impacts through her programming as well. Her forest program is very active here 375 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:43,560 in the county, a lot of projects. You can see those listed there. 376 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:48,120 Very active on our district level and then also on the state level as 377 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:51,840 well. So we're we're proud of the agents and what the work that they're doing 378 00:25:49,360 --> 00:25:56,640 here in Hill County and and hope you you realize and see that impact as well. 379 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:59,200 I'll be glad to answer any questions you may have. 380 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:04,440 » Great job. Great team. 381 00:26:03,120 --> 00:26:08,120 Very yes, very very proud of our work. 382 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:11,480 Very good. All right, y'all have a great day. 383 00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:25,160 » All right. We'll go ahead and move to number 13, 384 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:29,200 discussion and action regarding the uniform 6 Hill County resolution during 385 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:36,200 the indigent defense grant in the amount of $32,455 386 00:26:32,120 --> 00:26:39,680 for indigent defense services. >> What's that full 387 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:44,520 what it cost us? Only 10% It's that much? I didn't think 388 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:49,480 it'd be that much. I don't know. I don't see any back. Yeah, 4% of the 389 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:53,360 total expense. But we always seem to come up with a 390 00:26:51,120 --> 00:26:56,640 wheel when they give us a few pennies on the dollar and that's 391 00:26:55,280 --> 00:27:00,520 » Now, if you guys if you gentlemen remember 392 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:05,320 I'll force you back to the budget sessions that we've had, all of them, 393 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:08,720 but 8% of our budget right off the top has to go to 394 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:14,200 indigent defense. That's not non-negotiable. 395 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:14,200 Which is a considerable amount of money. 396 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:19,920 They gave us 32,000 for considered to be a waste. 397 00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:23,120 » Motion. >> I'll make a motion. 398 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:29,600 » Second. >> I'll second. All in favor say aye. Aye. 399 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:29,600 All opposed? Motion passed. 400 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:46,240 » The second action regarding the surplus department funds for future projects use 401 00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:50,280 at Hill Country Sheriff's Office. Here, how do you wish to proceed? 402 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:50,280 Morning. Morning. 403 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:55,200 » All right. Appreciate you taking time to hear me 404 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:58,560 out on this. So, um 405 00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:02,720 This will be the second year in a row that we've been fiscally responsible 406 00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:09,120 with the taxpayer money. Um we should have 407 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:13,000 right now well over a million left over. 408 00:28:11,360 --> 00:28:18,240 Now, a lot of that some of that is not being fully staffed, 409 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:21,040 which we're getting there. So, that's a plus. 410 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:23,520 Um we have many projects that we need to 411 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:27,200 do. I figured that this would be the perfect 412 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:32,200 time to ask just to go ahead and use the money that we saved instead of having to 413 00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:36,360 come back next year and ask for piece by piece cuz there are several 414 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:40,480 areas in the office that need to be addressed. One being the jail. We have 415 00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:44,360 multiple repairs that need to be done. Uh the speaker and software system is 416 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:49,480 outdated. Some of the speakers do not work, mostly 417 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:49,480 on the outside of the facility. 418 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:54,560 Just to kind of give you an idea of what that may cost, 419 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:59,720 um kind of got some a few places give us some bids um 420 00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:04,120 that are in that line of work and uh for the speaker system and the uh 421 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:09,520 control system and the lighting system um we're looking at over 350,000 on the 422 00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:13,880 low end. Um 423 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:18,200 dispatch center needs some repair that has the main flooring in there since the 424 00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:22,160 building was built back in '02 or '03 time frame. 425 00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:26,440 Uh some of those consoles are broken and need to be uh replaced. They can be 426 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:30,520 quite expensive. Um I don't know exactly what Do we know 427 00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:33,040 a rough cost on that, Chief? >> Six figures. 428 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:36,080 » Probably six figures for the dispatch center. Uh 429 00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:40,080 they won't take them down. We'll have to move them into a separate area of the of 430 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:42,960 the building until we can get that remodel done. 431 00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:50,400 Also, the property room. Uh when we took over the property room was 432 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:56,040 at the brink. It was full. Uh we do get it audited from an outside source. Try 433 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:59,160 to get it reorganized. There's no uh it's just a handwriting system, 434 00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:03,200 basically. So, we have a gun range that is non-operable, 435 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:05,800 uh not safe to operate in and uh I shut it down when I got here and got it 436 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:09,760 inspected. Um so, I asked basically asking to use 437 00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:14,320 some of those funds that are remaining to turn the gun range, clean it out, 438 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:19,200 turn it into a larger property room where the 439 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:22,560 property officer will have um more access to the property, more 440 00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:27,000 safer, um more secure storage. Uh we're not 441 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:30,240 stacking things on top of things. Uh we're not risking air conditioners 442 00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:33,800 flooding property evidence, stuff like that. So, 443 00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:37,560 uh got a little uh like a rough estimate on 444 00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:41,440 what that might cost just to do the walls, 445 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:45,920 not not including the uh locker system and the 446 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:48,600 store shelving but the walls itself be around 50,000 447 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:53,280 um to clean that out and put new walls up. 448 00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:57,800 And then probably another eight to 10 for the air conditioning system that 449 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,800 will need to go in there. 450 00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:04,920 Um and then anything else is left over um 451 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:11,320 to prevent further costs, we'll just probably purchase some more vehicles. 452 00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:14,880 So that is my request to you. >> So 453 00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:18,920 you guys have done a great job in in the managing this and 454 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:25,840 turning it around. Are part of the funds I remember that 455 00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:32,880 way last year we funded all of your step raises and I'm assuming that some of 456 00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:37,160 those funds are included in this number. You do We went We went all the way to I 457 00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:41,640 think it was um tier four on all of the 458 00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:45,480 all of the positions. >> Correct. 459 00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:49,080 » Are some of those Is this some of the funds that you got left over 460 00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:53,760 that you didn't spend because you didn't have the personnel? 461 00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:58,000 » Some personnel, correct. A lot of it it's not because of the step pay. 462 00:31:56,240 --> 00:32:03,680 It's just because we've had 10 to 10 vacancies in the jail and you know 463 00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:05,880 CID spot and couple of patrol. 464 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:08,040 » So So you just didn't have >> It adds up. I mean 465 00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:10,240 » didn't have that staff. >> Yeah. 466 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:13,840 And we we finally got some good applicants 467 00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:18,040 um for the jail so we're we're making those backgrounds getting those done and 468 00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:20,600 getting those spots filled. Uh there's just no guarantee I'll have this 469 00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:23,360 money left over next year. We'll do the best we can. 470 00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:27,880 » Yeah. >> fortunate this year so 471 00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:30,840 it's the part of budgetary to get things done need to be done in the jail cuz 472 00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:36,520 that could be the most costly uh area in the whole county. 473 00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:36,520 Yeah. 474 00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:43,000 » Historical reference. Uh 475 00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:49,000 prior to Sheriff Marmes and his staff taking over 476 00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:53,440 the Sheriff's office generally ran 900 to a million or more people in the red 477 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:58,360 over budget. Uh Mr. Sheriff took over and since has 478 00:32:56,480 --> 00:33:02,280 last year was seven or 900 thousand under. 479 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:04,320 » 700 >> 870 700 480 00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:09,440 » 870 >> 870 481 00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:14,640 870 under budget and this year they're looking at about a little over a 482 00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:19,040 million under budget. Um as the Sheriff indicated, some of that has to do with 483 00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:22,600 staffing not being filled. >> Uh 484 00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:24,680 » But uh >> Yeah. 485 00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:31,600 » So Also, as in the jail and prison are um 486 00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:37,640 as far as the county is concerned, is one of our largest liabilities 487 00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:41,120 in the fact that we have to have it. Um and it has standards that are 488 00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:45,240 non-negotiable. So, for instance, the speaker system, 489 00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:47,240 there has to be a speaker in every cell. I mean, you took a tour of it. 490 00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:49,800 » Yeah, I did. >> So, 491 00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:53,320 if those speakers don't work, the jail shut down and now we'll have to ship out 492 00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:55,320 all our inmates and we have to pay another county 493 00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:58,320 » to house them. >> to house them and it's well over a 494 00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:01,720 hundred dollars a day >> per head. Per head. 495 00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:04,120 » It This makes a tremendous amount of sense to me. The 496 00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:06,120 » Now that you took a tour of >> I did the tour. 497 00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:08,879 » I mean, it >> And part I'm very glad I did do that. 498 00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:10,679 » I don't I don't know where he's coming from. 499 00:34:09,159 --> 00:34:15,040 » I don't know if you've been in dispatch, but the it's an eye-opener, you know 500 00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:18,720 what I mean? Very different than when I dispatched a hundred years ago where we 501 00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:22,240 had a big map on the wall and actual radios and 502 00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:26,000 push the radio. Everything is >> Yeah. 503 00:34:22,639 --> 00:34:30,120 » computerized and very very different now than it than it was then. 504 00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:31,280 » Yeah, and especially now where we We storage at. 505 00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:34,800 » Yeah. >> It's literally just a little room that 506 00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:37,760 is it's full. Well, we need to accommodate 507 00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:42,040 the old gun and gun range. 508 00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:42,040 » Yeah, the um 509 00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:51,040 again, the scary part about the evidence room is if you have a murder case and or 510 00:34:48,639 --> 00:34:56,000 some high-profile case and and that evidence is contaminated, then 511 00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:59,560 potentially the justice system fails and all that bad and it has nothing to do 512 00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:02,920 with who worked the case, how it was 513 00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:07,680 investigated, the prosecutor, the judge, none of that. It would be 514 00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:09,680 it would be solely this side of the facility. 515 00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:13,440 » Yeah. But 516 00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:18,040 » So, on the on the gun range, will you need one in the future? 517 00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:20,240 » No, I >> I mean, do you have a range that you 518 00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:24,160 train on there? >> Well, we've been contracting and then uh 519 00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:28,360 something I was going to get with y'all on, uh Latheum Springs has offered to 520 00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:30,920 let us use their facility. Um so, I don't know if there needs to be some 521 00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:33,560 sort of agreement in place, which we can get done with the county attorney if you 522 00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:37,000 need me. Uh they just want us out there. So, they 523 00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:40,960 have a not a pretty nice facility, I believe, that will accommodate our needs 524 00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:44,880 for annual qualifications and training. So, cool. Save some money 525 00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:47,480 there, too. >> Sounds like a plan. I'll make a motion 526 00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:49,880 to approve. >> That's it. 527 00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:52,840 » All right. So, we're approving the designated surplus 528 00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:55,760 department funds from the Hood County Sheriff's Office for future project 529 00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:59,280 needs of the Hood County Sheriff's Office.
