Uh, 21 00:01:29,275 --> 00:01:32,485 I've been visiting with congressman gooden and myself with the principal 22 00:01:33,365 --> 00:01:37,305 involved here in dallas. And they have, uh, asked to 23 00:01:38,625 --> 00:01:42,155 pull that from the agenda for next week. They will be coming 24 00:01:42,645 --> 00:01:46,615 later with a full set of plans so that people can ask 25 00:01:47,115 --> 00:01:50,835 questions and any questions will be answered at that time and we'll go 26 00:01:51,955 --> 00:01:55,735 wherever in the county we need to go. 'cause it affects the entire county. And 27 00:01:56,425 --> 00:02:00,295 last night when I spoke with the, the man in dallas, he 28 00:02:00,515 --> 00:02:04,515 said they would go as far, 'cause I know some people are worried about it being muslim community 29 00:02:05,115 --> 00:02:09,075 and it's, see guarantees it's not. And they would put in the deeds that there'll be no 30 00:02:09,375 --> 00:02:13,295 mo uh, mosque ever built on the location. So 31 00:02:14,175 --> 00:02:17,995 anyway, so that will not be on the agenda for next week. So with 32 00:02:18,275 --> 00:02:22,145 that we have the consent agenda.

Um, 93 00:06:45,255 --> 00:06:48,845 we're opposed to it because they're changing the, the, uh, restrictions 94 00:06:50,385 --> 00:06:53,815 of the, that's been in place for over 40 years. 95 00:06:54,515 --> 00:06:57,305 they're cutting a property in half. And 96 00:06:59,485 --> 00:07:03,245 I, myself, I don't wanna live in the city. If I wanna live in the city, I'd buy a house. I, 97 00:07:03,605 --> 00:07:06,285 I, I got a house on houston street. I don't even like to live there. 98 00:07:08,985 --> 00:07:12,885 all I hear is sirens all up and down houston street all night long and 99 00:07:13,045 --> 00:07:16,485 everything else. And that's not what I want to hear. Right. But the restrictions 100 00:07:17,345 --> 00:07:21,305 has been in, uh, plays for over 40 years on 101 00:07:21,525 --> 00:07:24,805 this property. And it says the restrictions says in the restrictions 102 00:07:25,695 --> 00:07:29,475 point blame. And we had a meeting, they asked us to, this 103 00:07:30,555 --> 00:07:32,855 lady here asked us to come up there to their office. Right. 104 00:07:35,345 --> 00:07:39,265 the only thing I got out of it was they was mad about something. I don't know what it was, but 105 00:07:39,525 --> 00:07:42,305 I mean, wasn't, no, it didn't affect me at all. Okay. But 106 00:07:44,485 --> 00:07:47,385 I didn't say that. Kauffman county says is 107 00:07:49,035 --> 00:07:52,715 said the restrictions has been always one septic tank, 108 00:07:54,605 --> 00:07:58,085 septic and septic line per property. 109 00:07:59,235 --> 00:08:02,735 the property's been cut up for over 40 years. That's what we want to keep it. 110 00:08:03,255 --> 00:08:03,725 'cause I don't want 111 00:08:07,455 --> 00:08:11,285 a neighborhood. So this must be next door to you then? Right across the road. Okay. 112 00:08:12,155 --> 00:08:15,795 so in the deed 60, it say it says per lot or 113 00:08:16,205 --> 00:08:20,135 mark, if you wanna come forward and address it if I please. Sure. This is one of our assistant, 114 00:08:20,795 --> 00:08:24,695 uh, district attorneys. He was at the meeting. Okay. Come on up here. Okay. Uh, sorry. 115 00:08:24,965 --> 00:08:28,595 mark got three assistant district attorneys. So after reviewing this, the, 116 00:08:29,485 --> 00:08:33,085 this lot did have a deed restriction in place. Initially, 117 00:08:34,195 --> 00:08:37,725 the deed restrictions themselves say that they can be altered with 118 00:08:38,215 --> 00:08:41,565 a, with approval of the majority of the people in this subdivided area. 119 00:08:42,555 --> 00:08:46,385 uh, which the, uh, the owner has, uh, filed 120 00:08:46,835 --> 00:08:50,775 in the county records, uh, approval to lift this restriction to 121 00:08:50,975 --> 00:08:54,755 this specific lot and this specific lot only, uh, 122 00:08:55,275 --> 00:08:58,905 from a a, a majority of the owners in this area. So, 123 00:08:59,585 --> 00:09:03,515 as far as the restrictions are concerned, they don't exist as far as subdividing 124 00:09:04,205 --> 00:09:08,055 this plot, uh, at at least, uh, kind of in a legal sense. 125 00:09:08,475 --> 00:09:12,035 they, they were previously, but then a majority of the owners decided 126 00:09:12,525 --> 00:09:16,345 to lift it and it's been lifted. So as far as the, 127 00:09:16,865 --> 00:09:20,395 the, the legal, uh, framework 128 00:09:21,065 --> 00:09:24,945 for this, the, the lot is able to be subdivided. And 129 00:09:25,165 --> 00:09:29,085 it's up to the county commissioners you guys to decide whether or not, uh, you 130 00:09:29,245 --> 00:09:32,925 think the, the other owner's rights have been 131 00:09:34,595 --> 00:09:37,625 infringed, uh, to a a degree that is, 132 00:09:39,225 --> 00:09:43,085 uh, unnecessary essentially. So I, I just 133 00:09:43,245 --> 00:09:47,085 wanted to provide you guys with that kind of legal background on that. But if you have any 134 00:09:47,325 --> 00:09:51,245 questions, I'm more than willing to, to take. Okay. So questions, guys. You have 135 00:09:51,445 --> 00:09:55,145 to make the decision. Well, this is the deal. We had this before, right? Yes. 136 00:09:55,465 --> 00:09:58,925 and I know when they came up last time, then we wasn't sure about the legalities 137 00:09:59,585 --> 00:10:03,385 of the vote. 'cause the people were up here talking before was saying it 138 00:10:03,605 --> 00:10:07,545 wasn't done right. Or something. So that's what we was confirming, I believe. Right? Yes, sir. So 139 00:10:08,315 --> 00:10:11,845 when this initially came before the commissioner's court several months 140 00:10:12,345 --> 00:10:16,305 ago, we were really concerned especially about whether the notice had 141 00:10:16,525 --> 00:10:20,505 been given to the property owners. And so we really determined that it had 142 00:10:20,955 --> 00:10:24,525 been given to the property owners. And so basically in this neighborhood, 143 00:10:25,665 --> 00:10:29,445 in the, um, the restrictions in the, the neighborhood, 144 00:10:30,495 --> 00:10:34,285 there is a, um, within the deeds, if you, 145 00:10:34,515 --> 00:10:38,465 there's a provision that if you have a multitude, uh, or majority, not 146 00:10:38,685 --> 00:10:42,455 a multitude of majority of the property owners that agree 147 00:10:43,275 --> 00:10:46,635 with changing a restriction, that 148 00:10:47,505 --> 00:10:51,105 you can make that change. And so that is how, 149 00:10:51,745 --> 00:10:55,325 how basically you get around the deed restrictions 150 00:10:56,025 --> 00:10:59,885 is, is basically there is an agreement among a majority of the property owners 151 00:11:00,545 --> 00:11:04,255 to make a change. And, um, it, it's an unusual legal 152 00:11:05,165 --> 00:11:09,115 document. I know, but it's still a legal document that runs with the land. 153 00:11:09,465 --> 00:11:13,405 is is it an hoa? Um, it's, it is, 154 00:11:13,525 --> 00:11:17,325 what is it? It doesn't appear to be an hoa it is, it's strictly a restrictive 155 00:11:18,085 --> 00:11:21,835 covenant on what you can and can't. Okay. In hd does that? Yeah. Okay. 156 00:11:22,185 --> 00:11:26,185 so, so it's a little different than like an a nor what I consider a normal or 157 00:11:26,405 --> 00:11:30,325 the usual hoa, but it is a deed restriction that's a 158 00:11:30,565 --> 00:11:34,285 covenant that runs with the land. And that's a provision that is in those deed restrictions 159 00:11:35,345 --> 00:11:39,315 to make changes. And so the, I believe the property owner went 160 00:11:39,605 --> 00:11:43,525 through the proper process of, of, um, from what I know 161 00:11:44,645 --> 00:11:48,505 determined is that a majority of the property owners agreed with it. And 162 00:11:48,725 --> 00:11:52,725 so when that happened, they filed in the deed records, 163 00:11:53,745 --> 00:11:57,405 the change mm-hmm . Um, in the deeds that could take place. 164 00:11:58,145 --> 00:12:01,965 and do you have any more to add to that from a legal perspective? No. That, that appears 165 00:12:02,245 --> 00:12:05,845 to be, uh, everything that karen said is okay. So 166 00:12:06,385 --> 00:12:09,985 do we have, uh, confirmation that the majority did? Yes. It, it 167 00:12:10,415 --> 00:12:13,885 filed in the, the county records for this, uh, this property. Okay. Yeah. 168 00:12:14,425 --> 00:12:18,285 and, and that's why it really took several months to come back, because I know that I was at 169 00:12:18,465 --> 00:12:22,365 one of the meetings and then mark took over and he was at the meetings. And we've met with property 170 00:12:22,485 --> 00:12:26,285 owners and the property developer. We've actually gone, the county's 171 00:12:26,845 --> 00:12:30,065 actually gone with the development services the whole length 172 00:12:30,905 --> 00:12:34,845 to make sure that everything is, is proper and legal. So I know it's something that 173 00:12:35,115 --> 00:12:38,125 everybody may not agree with, but it is legally 174 00:12:39,225 --> 00:12:43,225 and it's in a correct position legally. Okay. And 175 00:12:43,485 --> 00:12:47,345 I understand where you're coming from. Uh, you 176 00:12:47,565 --> 00:12:51,545 know, I want property out in the county and you hate to, you buy 177 00:12:51,765 --> 00:12:55,155 it to be, uh, private 178 00:12:56,225 --> 00:13:00,085 and then people move in on you and there's not much you could do about it 179 00:13:00,595 --> 00:13:03,665 that I understand that. Well, my point is, 180 00:13:05,065 --> 00:13:08,905 you'll have to come back up here. My 181 00:13:09,125 --> 00:13:12,765 point is, if I would've known this, me and mr. Martin would've 182 00:13:13,325 --> 00:13:17,325 happily bought that property and done it and developed it ourselves. Right. You know 183 00:13:17,445 --> 00:13:21,395 what I'm saying? But I mean, we, we was, we was going 184 00:13:21,695 --> 00:13:25,115 by, we wanted to stay with the restrictions. But I mean, 185 00:13:26,175 --> 00:13:29,395 it, it's all, it's all about kaufman county because it's tax revenue. 186 00:13:30,275 --> 00:13:34,275 I know that. Well, the legality is that that provision is in 187 00:13:34,475 --> 00:13:38,435 the deed and I guess he's found a way to do it by around 188 00:13:38,715 --> 00:13:42,585 it. Yeah. Yes, sir. Like our attorney said, well, I think it's in the deed that they can vote 189 00:13:42,895 --> 00:13:46,275 on it, the owners. Well, and, and I did owners 190 00:13:46,935 --> 00:13:50,575 and I did meet with, uh, monique about this and 191 00:13:51,305 --> 00:13:54,705 he's been very challenged in getting this done. And monique's 192 00:13:55,585 --> 00:13:59,515 said that he's come back every time and complied and did everything she asked him to do. 193 00:13:59,855 --> 00:14:03,735 so the landowner. So, uh, 194 00:14:04,345 --> 00:14:08,275 he's done all that effort. So I have to say that, 'cause that was part of 195 00:14:08,395 --> 00:14:12,395 the meeting. But, and just to add to that, um, we did mail the note, the notifications 196 00:14:13,075 --> 00:14:16,915 to all the property owners, uh, for the third time, uh, the ad was running, the 197 00:14:17,115 --> 00:14:21,115 paper posted online. So we did go through the proper steps as laid out in texas 198 00:14:21,435 --> 00:14:25,355 local government code, um, to make sure that everyone was aware that we were 199 00:14:25,595 --> 00:14:29,535 bringing this back today. And, um, just so you are aware, the, 200 00:14:29,755 --> 00:14:33,625 these lots can only have one home and one septic. They do not meet, they, 201 00:14:33,915 --> 00:14:37,885 they're not large enough to put multiple septics and homes on being 1.5 acres. 202 00:14:38,535 --> 00:14:42,095 but, but what's going to happen, because this is going to turn around to be a domino 203 00:14:42,565 --> 00:14:46,195 event because they got some more property right next door to it. 204 00:14:46,895 --> 00:14:50,895 and you, they can, you can tell me, but once you, I see that coman 205 00:14:51,245 --> 00:14:55,045 county's gonna let this happen, it's gonna be a domino effect, then the next person's 206 00:14:55,525 --> 00:14:59,485 gonna do the same thing. We're gonna be right up here and I'm not gonna waste my time again. I mean, 207 00:14:59,635 --> 00:15:03,605 I'll sell mine and get outta caman county. I can, you don't, I'm sorry. 208 00:15:03,765 --> 00:15:07,285 I can only speak to the, the, the restrictions that were amended are just for lot two. 209 00:15:07,905 --> 00:15:11,795 we have received no indication that any other lots are going to be replanted. Okay. 210 00:15:12,355 --> 00:15:16,005 alright. This time as of today. Yes sir. 211 00:15:16,445 --> 00:15:20,075 I haven't received, did all your neighbors vote know against this what you have to do? Well, 212 00:15:21,155 --> 00:15:25,035 okay. Alright.

Yes, ma'am. Good morning. Yes. So 223 00:16:13,565 --> 00:16:17,405 this is a continuation grant. We've had the grant for one year. It's a three year 224 00:16:17,755 --> 00:16:21,525 span, but we have to turn our application in each year. This is 225 00:16:21,845 --> 00:16:25,705 a juvenile diversion program. It's about accountability for 226 00:16:25,925 --> 00:16:28,885 these, um, these, this, the youth, it's about $58,000. 227 00:16:30,825 --> 00:16:34,475 um, it addresses the youth violence, truancy and juvenile delinquency. 228 00:16:36,625 --> 00:16:39,785 it is, um, through a coordinated evidence-based and community-centered 229 00:16:40,965 --> 00:16:44,705 approach, focus on early identification, prevention, and 230 00:16:45,285 --> 00:16:48,995 positive youth development. So we've created this program that 231 00:16:49,745 --> 00:16:53,685 has it. It's working. I mean, we, we, we just kind of got into it because the funding 232 00:16:54,025 --> 00:16:57,925 was late. Okay. Trying to do something. Well, we take 233 00:16:58,165 --> 00:17:01,445 the grants and we can get them any comments? This is gonna be in your precinct. 234 00:17:02,235 --> 00:17:06,125 nothing whatsoever.

All 236 00:17:10,405 --> 00:17:14,325 them favors say aye. A aye. Motion, carrie. Okay, pam, once again discuss. Consider 237 00:17:14,465 --> 00:17:17,825 an approve applying through the texas department of state health 238 00:17:18,565 --> 00:17:22,445 services texas spay and neuter program for funding to help increase 239 00:17:22,625 --> 00:17:26,345 the amount of low cost spay and neuter surgeries for kaman county residents and 240 00:17:26,835 --> 00:17:30,765 unowned cats and dogs. Yes, ma'am. Yes. So we've been waiting for a while. 241 00:17:30,965 --> 00:17:34,865 the state has promised this and it finally opened on friday. Um, 242 00:17:35,795 --> 00:17:38,915 this focuses on the spay and neuter of animals, 243 00:17:39,865 --> 00:17:43,845 um, that are within our county. I mean, we will apply for that, 244 00:17:44,425 --> 00:17:48,005 but it's animals that are in, um, our owned or in the custody 245 00:17:48,785 --> 00:17:52,245 of texas residents rescues organizations, shelters 246 00:17:52,805 --> 00:17:56,545 or government. Government entities. So we can apply for, uh, 247 00:17:56,965 --> 00:18:00,845 spay and neuter sterilization for animals that are in our sh in our shelter. 248 00:18:01,585 --> 00:18:05,485 we can help the rescues and we can help the public because we will have, 249 00:18:05,645 --> 00:18:09,165 we be able to have vouchers. Um, finding a veterinarian 250 00:18:10,065 --> 00:18:14,045 has been tasked or been a hard task, but we're, we're at that point 251 00:18:14,385 --> 00:18:17,925 now. Um, we, we had about 130 252 00:18:19,045 --> 00:18:22,945 spayed and neu out of our shelter last year that we paid out of our pocket. And 253 00:18:23,165 --> 00:18:26,735 so that will definitely help us. So I'm going to ask for over 300 254 00:18:27,925 --> 00:18:31,915 surgeries and I would love to ask for more. But the veterinarians, they 255 00:18:32,205 --> 00:18:35,585 would not be able to do that many. Right. So it's a way for us to 256 00:18:36,315 --> 00:18:40,125 help keep the public, um, safe by having these animals spayed and neuter cutting 257 00:18:40,325 --> 00:18:44,085 down on that population. And it helps the people too. It does help the 258 00:18:44,525 --> 00:18:48,405 people. I get a lot of calls of people that need help just to get and neuter. 259 00:18:48,645 --> 00:18:52,635 they can't be having litters and puppies out here. That comes back to the shelter, which is another expense 260 00:18:53,225 --> 00:18:57,225 and works on the sheriff's. Yep. People and pick 'em up all the time. So 261 00:18:57,905 --> 00:19:01,365 that's great. I now want to add that the spay and neuter, 262 00:19:01,945 --> 00:19:05,735 um, there was a, I was here recently, I think we talked about the anonymous donor 263 00:19:06,315 --> 00:19:09,975 that donated a lot of funding for kaufman county zip codes 264 00:19:10,325 --> 00:19:13,145 to have sp and neuter. There had been over, um, 265 00:19:14,445 --> 00:19:18,385 probably about 1500 now. So we were at 1100 a month ago. 266 00:19:18,705 --> 00:19:22,605 that's amazing. It is in kaufman county. We have gone down to where 267 00:19:22,805 --> 00:19:26,685 the zip codes are and to find out maybe where we do need to do more education 268 00:19:27,245 --> 00:19:30,845 in those zip codes. But, um, forney, forney's ahead of everybody, 269 00:19:31,705 --> 00:19:35,515 you know, even my little town of roster, there were seven, seven animals that, that 270 00:19:35,945 --> 00:19:39,715 got spayed or neutered because of this. So it's 20, it's $40 when 271 00:19:40,125 --> 00:19:44,045 you sign up and then you get $20 back. So $20 for spay and neuter. 272 00:19:44,325 --> 00:19:48,305 that money will be running out soon. And then we can jump into this. So surely we 273 00:19:48,525 --> 00:19:52,385 are gonna do something about the population in this county. Let's hope so. Yes. Yes. That, that's 274 00:19:52,805 --> 00:19:56,675 the our goal. Mm-hmm . So it's very important. I mean, no question. Need 275 00:19:56,965 --> 00:20:00,715 a motion. I'll make a motion for you.
