» Robert Davis Martha Sales I'm here again
Dr. Rose in South Judge. This is my

36
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:15,360
fourth visit to the commissioner board.
I've spoken with many including yourself

37
00:10:11,519 --> 00:10:21,200
and private in public on the phone to
get prepared in the street. Not exactly

38
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:26,959
sure what's going on, but I think this
is exceedingly ridiculous.

39
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:32,640
Commissioner called me himself, didn't
you? And you asked me which street. I

40
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:38,240
said all the streets. You also said,
commissioner, that the crew said they

41
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:43,600
were coming out in two or three days.
They never showed up. They did come with

42
00:10:40,560 --> 00:10:49,680
a maintainer. They dumped some sand on
Columbia Street with a maintainer. So,

43
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:55,760
the sand blew away. You know, I'm not
here about the the sand. I'm not here

44
00:10:52,959 --> 00:11:01,600
about the maintainer. I'm not here about
street. I'm here about the potholes. I'm

45
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:08,160
hoping that maybe this is the time that
somebody will send Mr. Caras out and

46
00:11:04,959 --> 00:11:14,079
fill the pothole, please. Thank you.
Thank you. Any other public comments?

47
00:11:12,560 --> 00:11:17,399
Any public comments? Anybody in the
virtual world?

airport
uh enter into an airport project

65
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:44,720
agreement with Texas on December 13,
2023 for the development of the city of

66
00:12:42,399 --> 00:12:50,240
Levi International Airport. The
construction project will replace visual

67
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:56,880
approach slope indicator. The original
agreement was $45,000 from state funds

68
00:12:53,360 --> 00:13:03,040
and 45,000 to come from the county. The
project has had an increase of 260,62

69
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:07,440
uh dollars and an amendment to the
original agreement has been approved.

70
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:12,160
The new amount for construction is
310,100.

Changing the county's contribution to
71,10.

72
00:13:14,560 --> 00:13:23,920
The county had paid Texas $45,000. An
additional $26,10 will need to be paid

73
00:13:20,959 --> 00:13:28,880
to cover the new match amount. This is
an unbudgeted item and budget amendment

74
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:33,360
from the airport's fund balance in the
amount of $26,10

75
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:37,440
is required.
You guys have approved this amendment

76
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:40,880
the previous commission.
>> The last special meeting.

77
00:13:38,639 --> 00:13:45,480
» Madam Auditor, um you're saying the
project had an increase of $260,62,

78
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:57,199
» but we're only adding an additional two
26,10,

79
00:13:54,959 --> 00:14:03,760
» right? uh we had already paid back 45
original amount and then with the

80
00:13:59,920 --> 00:14:06,880
revision it increased to the 7610.
>> Okay.

81
00:14:04,560 --> 00:14:12,519
» So that's why we already pay the
$26,000.

82
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:12,519
» It's 10% of $200,000.

83
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:23,199
» I move that we approve the budget
amendments as presented.

84
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,920
» I have a motion.
>> A second.

85
00:14:23,839 --> 00:14:30,959
» And I have a second. All in favor? I
>> I.

86
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:34,560
» Agenda item number two, discuss and take
action to approve the auditor's monthly

87
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:39,600
report.
>> Yes, sir. Uh I just wanted to mention

88
00:14:37,839 --> 00:14:45,760
that
the Prescid the Presidio County Airport

89
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:53,199
had a limited tax notes. Uh they were
issued in 2018 and the final payment was

90
00:14:49,760 --> 00:15:00,800
done on December of 2025.
The amount issued for the tax notes had

91
00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:02,560
been originally $418,000.
So that's been a paid off.

92
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:10,160
» Great.
>> Congratulations. Great news for them.

93
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:15,519
Alicia, um I'm starting to get concerned
about the jail

94
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:22,320
and clearly
each monthly auditor's report

95
00:15:19,519 --> 00:15:24,959
shows that we're in trouble with the
jail.

96
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:30,240
» Uh I don't think their revenues are
catching up to their expenses.

97
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:33,800
So it's just important to keep track of
what's coming in.

98
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:42,000
So do we feel that are they going to go
over the budget too?

99
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:48,720
» They may not go over their budgeted
amounts but it's just uh if they keep as

100
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:53,920
they are they should be right at where
they budgeted in case uh I just want to

101
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:58,480
remind that you have to say budget for
the jail. So if they spend more than

102
00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:02,240
what they
they presented for revenues then they

103
00:16:00,639 --> 00:16:06,079
will have to come back to the
commissioners for and request that

104
00:16:03,759 --> 00:16:09,079
difference.
>> Okay.

105
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:14,639
So right now there's not a concern with
the current budget.

106
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:19,920
» Now with the current budget it's just
that eventually if they don't catch up

107
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:22,959
to what they're expending uh the court
will have to look at some solutions for

108
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:27,120
the jail.
>> And have you been

109
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:31,279
approach that there is a plan to catch
up with or anything? No, ma'am.

110
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:36,000
» Yeah, it's it's basically based on
volume and we're at the

111
00:16:32,959 --> 00:16:39,600
» we're at the at the uh
>> I mean we're tethered to whatever the

112
00:16:37,839 --> 00:16:44,240
federal government decides. If they want
to send if they want to send 10, they

113
00:16:41,839 --> 00:16:47,120
send 10. If they want to send 140, they
send 140. But

114
00:16:46,639 --> 00:16:49,440
» um
>> I think we're at 30.

115
00:16:48,639 --> 00:16:52,720
» Yeah.
>> Yeah. My understanding is they're just

116
00:16:51,759 --> 00:17:00,720
not
>> Yeah. the the prisoners out there to at

117
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:03,600
this time to to get enough. It's kind,
you know, I'll

118
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:07,439
» Is that a good thing
>> in a sense? I'll speak to this a little

119
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:10,720
bit that okay
>> it's kind of a double-edged sword

120
00:17:09,199 --> 00:17:16,079
because I was here when we didn't have
the jail and we spent quite a bit of

121
00:17:13,120 --> 00:17:20,559
money a huge amount of money sending
prisoners to other

122
00:17:18,079 --> 00:17:26,880
» I don't know I and I honestly don't know
the answer but I do know that it was a

123
00:17:24,079 --> 00:17:31,440
big deal to constantly have some a
deputy on the road with two or three

124
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:35,440
prisoners to go to to Sarah Blanca I
believe is where we were putting them at

125
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:41,360
the time and
the loss of his time in the county plus

126
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:44,000
the time to go take it plus the cost of
prisoners there.

127
00:17:42,799 --> 00:17:49,679
» Yeah.
>> It's again it's sort of a double-edged

128
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:51,440
sword. Do we keep a jail or do we
>> I don't know.

129
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:56,559
» Oh yeah.
>> If I knew that I would be the something

130
00:17:54,320 --> 00:18:01,039
else besides just in here.
>> Well, it's already 120 mile round trip

131
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:03,679
if you're if you're a South County,
>> right?

132
00:18:01,679 --> 00:18:08,880
» And now tack on Van Horn. Now you're
looking at 240 mile round trip.

133
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:12,320
» Uh so
>> at one time I had to make a double trip

134
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:16,400
to San
>> and he took my whole day shift. You know

135
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:19,840
I went and took one when I came in came
back they had another one back came

136
00:18:18,559 --> 00:18:22,799
back.
>> Yeah.

137
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:27,039
» Yeah. I'm not proposing we get rid of
the jail. I'm just wondering

138
00:18:25,120 --> 00:18:33,520
» I'm starting to see those numbers and
I'm like concerned that hopefully they

139
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:38,160
can stay within the budget.
I I don't know and I'm going to

140
00:18:34,799 --> 00:18:43,840
speculate here. There's uh
the uh federal government uh HSI every

141
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:48,160
all of them. They're they're diverted to
other states right now. So it may not it

142
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:52,400
may be that there's not that much
enforcement

143
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:54,240
» in Texas and and and for the federal
courouses in Texas.

144
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:58,080
» Okay.
>> So I think that could be one reason.

145
00:18:56,160 --> 00:19:03,280
Could it change? Yeah. I think there's
just a lot of things going on.

146
00:19:01,679 --> 00:19:08,320
» Hopefully.
>> How do you hope for more criminals?

147
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:12,720
» Yeah. Right. Right. Right. Right.
>> So, so we're on agenda item number two,

148
00:19:11,120 --> 00:19:17,760
the auditor's monthly report.
>> I'm going to move that we approve the

149
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:19,919
auditor's monthly report as presented.
>> Second.

150
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,600
» I have a motion and second. All in
favor?

151
00:19:20,559 --> 00:19:26,160

and5. The receipts, the money coming
into that account was 1,229,34.31.

158
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:11,559
So the ending balance in December was
1,257,248.34.

159
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:24,360
The bank account as of today this
morning um the general bank account is

160
00:20:21,360 --> 00:20:24,360
2,152,684

161
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:32,480
with85.
Our

162
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:38,919
um savings account at Marfa National
Bank beginning balance of December was

163
00:20:35,919 --> 00:20:38,919
863,46.19

164
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:44,679
with an ending balance of 863,48426

165
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:55,080
which the interest was $78.7.
Um, payroll for December was 325,381.58

166
00:20:55,919 --> 00:21:07,159
and payroll for January 2nd
um is

167
00:21:03,360 --> 00:21:07,159
or was $16782.97

168
00:21:09,120 --> 00:21:17,799
and we're working on payroll for Friday
and the amount for bills is $159,74053.

169
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:23,360
3 cents and I believe there was an
adjustment at the very end. I don't know

170
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:26,360
if Alicia wants to talk about that
adjustment.

171
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:39,120
Okay. So, we did I did an adjustment for
a delinquent account demand letter from

172
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:43,600
Texog on a cash project. I believe the
project started in 2017 and was done in

173
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:49,919
2019.
Uh, I think Texa got an audit and they

174
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:55,840
found that the county from their their
original

175
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:59,240
uh amount that we had to pay still owed
the $4,000

176
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,880
$4,245.

177
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:12,400
So, we have received a credit from
another project. So, I took this money.

178
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:18,320
I'm taking the that pay this unbudgeted
invoice out of that fun receipt. I spoke

179
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:22,480
to the judge and he's had a conversation
with some people on text. So, if the

180
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:27,760
court wants us to hold on paying this
invoice, we're okay doing that as long

181
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:30,960
as it's not over maybe a couple weeks so
that we're not as good. Nothing can be

182
00:22:29,919 --> 00:22:38,240
fixed on that.
>> Yeah. I guess my and this is uh on that

183
00:22:35,039 --> 00:22:42,880
uh safe streets uh grant that was
awarded. I want to say the total was $9

184
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:47,919
million in sidewalk projects for the
city at the time. And it was something

185
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:54,720
it was a it was a no-brainer. It was
like 4 cents

186
00:22:50,159 --> 00:23:00,720
4 cents uh uh a 4 cent investment.
But when this first started and I want

187
00:22:57,039 --> 00:23:07,919
to say they call it but anyway
uh so uh I had forgotten that the county

188
00:23:05,360 --> 00:23:13,520
had this is back when judge
she participated the county participated

189
00:23:10,559 --> 00:23:16,559
and they took a portion of projects and
I think it was bled so to O'Reilly.

190
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,919
» Yes.
>> Yes.

191
00:23:17,039 --> 00:23:27,760
» Yeah. So then there was like five total
projects where they put sidewalks in and

192
00:23:23,919 --> 00:23:31,760
uh but as we were moving along uh the
way Tex lot was doing it they were

193
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:36,720
saying well you guys pay for engineering
services and pay for this and pay for

194
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:42,960
that and and it got really convoluted
and along those lines this is back in

195
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:46,799
2017 so I'm still a little mucky uh but
I recall them saying you know what we're

196
00:23:44,799 --> 00:23:50,640
having too many poems we're bogging down
progress rest. Let Tech do go ahead and

197
00:23:49,039 --> 00:23:54,000
take care of everything for so forget
about this stuff. We're going to use

198
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:57,760
people we already have contracts with
engineers. Let's just use our staff

199
00:23:55,919 --> 00:24:02,559
engineers that we have contracts with
and we'll do away with. So I guess my

200
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:07,039
biggest question with text and I'm not
throwing rocks on because this is a

201
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:11,440
great project. Uh but now you come after
the fact, what's it been eight years,

202
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:16,480
nine years and you're like oh audit
audit uncovered that you guys are

203
00:24:13,120 --> 00:24:20,400
delinquent. So, I kind of I kind of I I
guess I'm just more frustrated that than

204
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:25,679
than anything that that it was that it's
so late in the game and so many years

205
00:24:23,120 --> 00:24:30,720
have passed and documents get shredded
at two years, four years, five years. We

206
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:34,559
started the RCI program. This is going
to be one I suspect it's going to be one

207
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:39,120
of the projects where we've already
shredded whatever documents we have. I

208
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:42,720
suspect the city of Palio, they do the
same thing. I suspect their documents

209
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:46,960
are going to be gone. So there's really
no way for us to go and contest them. I

210
00:24:45,120 --> 00:24:51,919
did speak with the city administrator in
Presidio. We do have a meeting tomorrow

211
00:24:49,120 --> 00:24:55,919
with textile. Uh our portion is not that
much. It's $4,000. Now we don't want to

212
00:24:53,919 --> 00:24:59,360
be throwing money out the window, but I
believe the city of Picidio, they're

213
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:03,440
they're trying to back claim I think
it's $84,000.

214
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:09,360
» 44,000.
>> Yeah. So uh and and obviously you guys

215
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:13,360
are already you guys are on fumes. Uh,
so for you guys to come up with that

216
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:16,720
money would really stink.
So

217
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:20,799
» So we're just going to ask them to give
us a little more support documentation.

218
00:25:19,279 --> 00:25:25,840
» I think that's I think that's exactly
the plan is is okay, your auditor found

219
00:25:23,360 --> 00:25:30,480
this and now you're and and we want you
to show us, right? Show us and tell us,

220
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:33,760
you know, um, you know, hold my hand and
walk me through this.

221
00:25:31,919 --> 00:25:37,919
» Uh, because right now I think what they
should do is just forgive the debt.

222
00:25:35,679 --> 00:25:43,120
» Absolutely.
Um, so, so here's and and I think uh

223
00:25:41,039 --> 00:25:47,440
Miss Sanchez's concern is that there's a
demand letter and she doesn't want it to

224
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:52,480
affect and I agree. I don't want it to
affect future grants. We have a great

225
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:57,600
working relationship with textile. Uh,
so I mean I don't want to uh but but I

226
00:25:55,679 --> 00:26:03,240
do think it's justified for at least at
least for us to to go and have a

227
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:03,240
conversation with them.

228
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:15,919
I'm going to move that we approve the
treasures list of claims and buildings

229
00:26:11,919 --> 00:26:23,039
with the exception of the text. Grant
reimbursement amount.

230
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:28,400
» Second. I have a motion and a second. Uh
and I guess you could hold on to that,

231
00:26:24,799 --> 00:26:31,840
Miss Sanchez. Yeah. And
yeah.

232
00:26:30,159 --> 00:26:33,840
» Okay. And all in favor?
>> I.

233
00:26:32,559 --> 00:26:36,159
» Thank you so much.
>> Thank you.

234
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:40,000
» Agenda.
You're welcome. Agenda item number four.

235
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:43,880
Discuss and take action to approve the
treasures monthly report.

236
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:59,919
Oh, okay. Sorry. I gave my hush bill um
at the beginning of bills, but I'll go

237
00:26:56,080 --> 00:27:06,640
over the general fund the checking
>> um the ending balance.

238
00:27:03,120 --> 00:27:12,320
» I don't think that's necessary for
>> I'm going to move that we approve the

239
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:16,480
treasurer's monthly report as presented.
>> Okay. Do I have a motion?

240
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:19,360
» Second. All in favor?
>> I.

241
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:22,960
» Thank you.
Agenda item number five, discuss and

242
00:27:21,360 --> 00:27:29,679
take action to approve the previous
commissioner's court minutes. Uh, and

243
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:34,799
it's for number A, December 10th, 2025.
And I think that's the one that that um

244
00:27:32,159 --> 00:27:38,159
needed some slight modifications.
>> No, this is

245
00:27:35,679 --> 00:27:43,279
» No, this is a new one. Okay. Um, I'm
going to move that we approve uh the

246
00:27:41,120 --> 00:27:48,559
previous commissioner's court minutes
for December 10th, 2025.

247
00:27:47,279 --> 00:27:50,880
» Okay. I'll say
>> I have a motion and second. All in

248
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:55,039
favor?
>> I.

249
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:58,399
» And agenda item number six, updates from
the Lonear Strategy.

250
00:27:57,279 --> 00:28:04,240
» Good morning, judge. Good morning,
Commissioner. So, on your report, you'll

251
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:08,399
find uh HP 3000. Uh for those that
aren't in the task force that is being

252
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:15,200
led by Commissioner Heiser, and I know
she will get into it later in the

253
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:20,399
agenda. Uh HB3000 is a county grant and
basically it's House Bill 3000, Texas

254
00:28:17,679 --> 00:28:26,720
House Bill 3000 that was presented by
Representative Pen King, District 88 in

255
00:28:23,360 --> 00:28:30,799
the panhandle. Uh then uh approved and
signed by Governor Greg Abbott. It's

256
00:28:29,039 --> 00:28:37,039
basically these funds that are being
allocated for rural counties and uh it's

257
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:41,440
allowing these rural counties to be able
to purchase an ambulance. And I say

258
00:28:39,679 --> 00:28:47,360
ambulance, we'll probably get into that
later, but uh Presto County qualifies

259
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:52,720
for $500,000.
Um and that's pretty much uh kind of the

260
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:59,360
synopsis of it. It is due on January
31st and it is only a one-time grant

261
00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:03,840
award.
>> I don't know if there's any question

262
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:08,640
» questions,
any updates on the meetings. I think we

263
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:12,880
discussed it last round, but please
>> Yeah, absolutely. So, we have our next

264
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:17,039
meeting on the 19th, and everyone is
always welcome to come to these

265
00:29:14,399 --> 00:29:23,600
meetings. I feel like we're we're we're
doing some good work. Um, uh, I want to

266
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:29,039
thank Ramon and Karina for getting the
initial grant application in. And in

267
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:35,360
that grant application, we did uh
propose for both the Martha EMS and the

268
00:29:32,799 --> 00:29:40,480
Prescidio EMS to to receive an
ambulance. Um you know, I believe the

269
00:29:38,399 --> 00:29:47,440
judge has pointed out numerous times
that we just have the first set of

270
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:55,039
rules. I and Ramon have been writing uh
emails to the rules committee asking

271
00:29:50,799 --> 00:30:01,200
specific questions um because in talking
with other EMS providers that were

272
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:06,320
involved in the very language that the
legislature approved at that point in

273
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:12,559
time, they were pointing out that some
counties do have two providers and that

274
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:19,840
this was going to create a real issue in
some counties. if we could only award it

275
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:25,919
to one of the providers. Um so that's
kind of the questions we're trying to

276
00:30:21,679 --> 00:30:32,640
get to the bottom of judge is is um can
that that 500,000 just be awarded to

277
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:40,320
Prescidio County. We split it in half.
We give 250,000 to Presidio, 250,000 to

278
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:45,120
Marfa. We have received bids from both
Prescidio and Marfa and they are under

279
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:51,200
their 250,000
to do um a refurbishing of their big

280
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:55,360
ambulance big box. I don't know that
Marfa got creative with theirs, but I

281
00:30:53,440 --> 00:31:03,520
don't think it's going to be acceptable.
So, we asked them to please do a big box

282
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:09,760
refer. Um I am reaching now Ramon. I
started this morning into um uh

283
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:15,919
Representative Morales and Senator
Blanco to see if they can help us move

284
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:24,240
the rules committee forward in answering
that question before our meeting on the

285
00:31:18,799 --> 00:31:28,559
19th. Um, so either it will be a smooth
uh here you go, everyone's happy or

286
00:31:27,039 --> 00:31:35,039
we're going to have to make a difficult
decision, you know, on which of the

287
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:41,120
entities get that. Um, we can talk about
the interlocal agreement because it's an

288
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:46,799
agenda item later, but um, I do feel
it's going real well. Um,

289
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:51,919
I'm going to call you city council woman
uh Bion is also on the task force

290
00:31:49,919 --> 00:31:55,240
committee and she's here today. Thank
you for coming.

291
00:31:55,519 --> 00:32:02,080
» So, and that was just an update. I guess
we're just we'll just move on to agenda

292
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:07,039
item number seven.
>> You bet. So, agenda item number seven

293
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:11,440
and and I'm going to ask because I'm
looking I'm seeing Miss Moratori sitting

294
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:17,840
over there patiently
>> and I'd hate to take up I already know

295
00:32:13,679 --> 00:32:24,720
she's got a full plate. I don't know if
uh if we want to go ahead and and u move

296
00:32:23,279 --> 00:32:29,840
on to hers.
>> I'm good with come back.

297
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:34,399
» I'm totally good with that. puts us out
a little bit, but

298
00:32:31,919 --> 00:32:40,240
» sounds good. So, we'll move on to agenda
item number 13, discussion with action

299
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:46,159
to add a road add roadway grasslands
way, which is located off Blackberg Road

300
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:52,799
to the Master Street, addressing the uh
MSAG database, and there's actually four

301
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:56,919
of them
that have action items.

302
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:03,600
So there's Okay, I guess you're gonna do
you want to go one by one or is it one

303
00:33:02,799 --> 00:33:08,320
project?
>> I'd like to leave that up to you guys

304
00:33:05,039 --> 00:33:13,440
how you want to proceed with that.
>> I'll I'll seek the uh the opinion of our

305
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:19,440
of our clerk.
>> Okay. So we've got four agenda items at

306
00:33:15,679 --> 00:33:26,320
number 13, 14, 15, and 16. Number 13 is
as Grassland's Way located off Blackberg

307
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:33,120
Road. Number 14 is King Street, West
Washington. And number 15 is White

308
00:33:29,679 --> 00:33:40,480
Street, uh, off of created off King
Street. And number 16, uh, is that a

309
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:43,200
typo? North or is it like north?
>> It is a little typo.

310
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:49,200
» Okay. Yes, sir.
>> That's fine. I do it all the time. North

311
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:50,480
Missouri Street to uh uh West Second
Street.

312
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:55,919
» Okay.
>> Okay. And to kick it off, so Grassland's

313
00:33:52,960 --> 00:34:00,000
Way, this is out on the Hippo and I came
probably last year at some point for

314
00:33:58,799 --> 00:34:03,919
Blackwood, right?
>> Um it was the first of the roadways

315
00:34:01,919 --> 00:34:08,320
added onto the ranch so that we could
then address the headquarters and so on

316
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:14,720
and so forth. I think they even have a
couple of BRB type places out there.

317
00:34:11,919 --> 00:34:17,919
This will be a different roadway. And if
you see, I don't know if you were

318
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:24,560
provided the maps that I created for
this. Um, I can even pass it around if I

319
00:34:20,399 --> 00:34:29,599
need to. Um, so grasslands is what we're
adding. This will issue this will give

320
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:35,280
me the ability to issue an address for
the Foreman's residence. Okay. Another

321
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:41,440
aspect to adding this roadway. This
gives us really good road loop for fire

322
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:47,359
or any kind of emergency mitigation we
may have to to do out there. So, um,

323
00:34:45,359 --> 00:34:52,000
these guys have been amazing. Actually,
this is one of the only ranches that is

324
00:34:50,399 --> 00:34:56,000
calling me because they're worried about
my reward. They want to be found. They

325
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:59,359
want if there is a fire, they want to
make sure everybody knows where the

326
00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:06,079
roads are, things like that. So, I like
to commend those. Take that situation

327
00:35:02,079 --> 00:35:10,720
seriously. So, that's the first one.
>> I was actually out on that road a couple

328
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:16,160
weeks ago and
>> a good road. it it's a great road, but

329
00:35:13,119 --> 00:35:19,920
they they really do need the signage for
911. So, I was happy to see this on the

330
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:23,920
agenda.
>> Absolutely. And this, you know, this

331
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:28,160
will be part of your dispatch maps also.
And I'll touch on this in a moment, the

332
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:32,480
Eagle View platform that I've given
everybody in government access to that

333
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:37,280
has all these road names on it, too. And
so, if we have law enforcement, fire,

334
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:42,720
EMS that's using the app on their phone,
they can navigate to these places using

335
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:48,240
this. So, Very full sub. Do we want to
approve one by one or approve as

336
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:53,119
» pro? Probably one by one.
>> One by one.

337
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:56,800
» Uh and um
>> let me think.

338
00:35:54,720 --> 00:36:00,160
» This is a private road.
>> Yes sir.

339
00:35:57,359 --> 00:36:04,960
» That will have public access.
>> Um this has nothing to do with access.

340
00:36:02,720 --> 00:36:11,280
This is simply to add this to my data.
Correct. This is still a private private

341
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:14,640
uh ownership. Absolutely. If there's
ever a conversation about ownership,

342
00:36:13,359 --> 00:36:20,079
maintenance, anything like that, it
ain't going to be with me. That's going

343
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:22,480
to be a separate issue.
>> And I don't think they're asking for

344
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:26,800
that now.
>> Not at all. Not at all. And if anybody

345
00:36:24,720 --> 00:36:29,760
ever does ask me, I say that isn't a
question for me. Please go ask your

346
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:33,680
commissioners. So,
>> so that was that's agenda item number

347
00:36:31,839 --> 00:36:38,880
13. Discussion with action to add a
roadway, Grasslands Way. It's located

348
00:36:36,240 --> 00:36:45,119
off Blackbird Road uh to the Master
Street according to the MSAG database.

349
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:50,960
Discussion or motion?
>> I move that we approve item 13, the

350
00:36:48,079 --> 00:36:52,880
addition of Grassland Way as presented.
>> Second.

351
00:36:51,359 --> 00:36:54,720
» I have a motion and second. All in
favor?

352
00:36:53,440 --> 00:37:00,240
» I.
>> Agenda item number 14, discussion with

353
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:04,560
action to add roadway King Street, which
is located off West Washington Street,

354
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:09,200
to the MSAG database.
>> All right. And I'll pass this one around

355
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:13,359
too. This is a subdivision just west of
town. It's not a true subdivision,

356
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:17,760
right, by lot size.
>> However, there are certain lots that

357
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:21,839
will be accessed by these new roadways,
but they are already cut.

358
00:37:19,839 --> 00:37:26,640
» Um, this is just the process to add
those roadways, make sure those road

359
00:37:23,359 --> 00:37:33,440
names are unique and that we can provide
addressing based off of those roadways.

360
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:39,200
» Did you say south of or is it east? West
of town over here.

361
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:42,320
» West Washington. Okay.
>> Yep. The very end of it.

362
00:37:41,839 --> 00:37:47,359
Okay.
>> It's out there. It's north of the

363
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:49,760
tracks. So where Washington follows the
tracks and then comes south across the

364
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:52,079
tracks.
>> Right.

365
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:55,760
» North of that is where we're
>> This is the whole Quattro, right?

366
00:37:54,240 --> 00:37:59,680
» Yes, it is. Okay. Thank you.
>> Yes, ma'am.

367
00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:02,960
» And he has been working with uh Mrs.
part

368
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:05,440
» on on all of the details and everything.
So,

369
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:10,720
» but this is one step that they were
missing and and needed to come to me for

370
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:14,880
» and I'll state the obvious. You're
you're double-checking that the street

371
00:38:13,119 --> 00:38:18,240
street names aren't conflicting with
anything.

372
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:23,200
» That is correct. I'm very strict about
>> I find it interesting the name.

373
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:26,079
» If you get one that goes to the wrong
street name,

374
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:31,040
» that's an issue. And I I believe your
sister has experienced that down in

375
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:33,200
Prescidio, right? Texas versus Texas.
Which which one do we go to? Right.

376
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:36,880
Yeah.
>> So that is extremely important to us.

377
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:39,359
» Not using matching names.
>> Real Brand Street. Real Grand Road.

378
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:42,320
That's what
>> First Street with an F. First Street

379
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:46,839
with a one.
>> There's an intersection of First and

380
00:38:43,839 --> 00:38:46,839
First.

381
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:52,720
» Yeah.
>> So yeah, UPS doesn't like this. No,

382
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:58,240
we're running.
>> So, that's agenda item number 14. It's

383
00:38:55,839 --> 00:39:03,040
the discussion with action to roadway
King Street, which is located off West

384
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:11,040
Washington Street.
>> I move we add King Street to the MAG

385
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:16,720
database and item 14 is presented.
>> I have a motion. Second. All in favor? I

386
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:19,839
» was that name requested by the owner or
did you

387
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:21,520
» That was a request. If it unmatched, it
doesn't match.

388
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:23,920
» Yep.
>> Thank you.

389
00:39:22,240 --> 00:39:28,480
» Yes, ma'am.
>> Exactly.

390
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:33,280
» Agenda item number 15, discussion with
action to add roadway White Street

391
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:35,599
located off the newly created King
Street.

392
00:39:34,240 --> 00:39:39,760
» Okay. And I'll pass around the little
map on this one, too.

393
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:44,720
» Pretty self-explanatory. That's correct.
You'll see a little snippet of it on

394
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:49,200
that other one. Um, again, this is
>> additional access for the other lots

395
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:52,400
that that are being
Are there quite a few lots? Do you have

396
00:39:51,359 --> 00:39:55,760
any?
>> I want to say in the neighborhood of

397
00:39:54,079 --> 00:39:59,440
eight. Yeah, something like that. It's
not a whole lot, but it is necessary.

398
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:03,440
Right. Right. And especially for
certificate of compliance and everything

399
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:07,040
that comes after this. Can't get any of
that without an address. So,

400
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:11,680
» but we can't have an address till we
have a road.

401
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:15,280
» The road is like the foundation of a
house, right?

402
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:20,960
» Can't build without it.
I'd like to make a motion that we

403
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:26,160
approve the addition of roadway White
Street

404
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:31,440
um located off the newly created King
Street to the MSA database.

405
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:34,079
» I'll second.
>> I have a motion and a second. All in

406
00:40:33,119 --> 00:40:40,480
favor?
>> I. Agenda item number 16, discussion

407
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:44,079
with action to extend North Missouri
Street,

408
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:47,839
uh, which will extend south past the
intersection of North Missouri Street,

409
00:40:46,079 --> 00:40:54,240
West Second Street.
>> Okay, here's the image of that.

410
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:58,400
This is not a city road. I know that
North Missouri is in the city of Mara,

411
00:40:56,480 --> 00:41:03,040
right? That is not what we're doing
here. But to give it a different name is

412
00:41:00,240 --> 00:41:07,280
illogical, right? Totally illogical. So,
we're going to continue with a name that

413
00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:12,400
already exists, but this is their
private road. This is not This has

414
00:41:10,240 --> 00:41:19,880
nothing to do with the city. We're just
continuing that street name down south.

415
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:19,880
Not very far either.

416
00:41:25,359 --> 00:41:34,560
I'm going to move we
extend North Missouri Street which will

417
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:39,599
extend south past the intersection North
Missouri Street West 2nd Street in the

418
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:42,000
MSAG database.
>> Second

419
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:46,000
» motion second. All in favor?
>> I

420
00:41:43,359 --> 00:41:51,680
» and then um number seven
>> hard work on all that things right.

421
00:41:48,720 --> 00:41:56,640
» Yeah. Uh, as always, you have your ducks
in a row. We appreciate it. So, uh,

422
00:41:54,240 --> 00:42:00,240
agenda item number 17, discussion only,
and just program updates.

423
00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:05,119
» Yes, sir. So, I have a few. I'll try to
keep it brief. Um, first and foremost,

424
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:09,359
my title has changed. I am now
considered the 911 GIS manager. Still

425
00:42:07,839 --> 00:42:14,640
the coordinator for the three counties
that I already serve, but I'm now the

426
00:42:11,599 --> 00:42:19,040
data management for all five. So, my
responsibilities have expanded somewhat.

427
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:23,359
Um, bear with me when you call for a
request.

428
00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:27,680
Um, right now, and I think I touched on
this with you a little bit earlier,

429
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:33,680
Judge, we are in the midst of migrating
our data over to the latest and greatest

430
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:39,119
mapping software. With this move over, I
am having to divert all of my requests

431
00:42:36,319 --> 00:42:42,720
to our coordinator in Hudsmith County.
Her name is Annie Brightenstein. So,

432
00:42:41,119 --> 00:42:46,960
anybody submitting requests to me right
now, they're going to get a response

433
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:50,640
from her. Um, we've had to do this. It's
probably going on a month now and it's

434
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:55,040
going to continue for a minute. I'm
having to write code and create systems

435
00:42:53,200 --> 00:43:01,599
that will
automate my workflows. It'll enable me

436
00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:06,480
to display our maps online so the public
can actually see them for themselves,

437
00:43:03,839 --> 00:43:11,280
which will be tremendously helpful. Then
furthermore, we're working towards an

438
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:15,599
online request form so that you can even
sit on your couch in your bathrobe and

439
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:19,359
request your address. Right? So all of
those changes are desperately needed.

440
00:43:17,359 --> 00:43:23,920
We've needed that for years and years
and years. But it takes one person to

441
00:43:22,079 --> 00:43:28,640
sit down and navigate it and make it all
work and that person is me. So we are

442
00:43:26,720 --> 00:43:33,040
right now about a month behind with our
request. I full disclosure on that,

443
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:37,440
right? Not much I can do about it. We
have one person issuing for five

444
00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:42,000
counties right now. So just if you're
getting calls commissioners and judge

445
00:43:39,599 --> 00:43:48,960
about that lady takes forever, you know
why it is a legitimate um workflow right

446
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:52,800
now that's just taking us a while. So um
another thing and I I mentioned this a

447
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:56,720
moment ago, Eagle View. I'm going to
continue to talk about Eagle View

448
00:43:54,800 --> 00:44:00,560
anytime I walk into commissioner court,
city council, anything like that. Eagle

449
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:06,480
View. For those that don't know, I I do
believe Commissioner Heisler uses it.

450
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:12,079
Um, this platform is access to my maps.
So, what your dispatch is seeing, I also

451
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:17,920
have on there CAD parcels, voting
precines, you know, anything that we

452
00:44:15,599 --> 00:44:23,359
hold the data for, it's going to be on
there. So, I encourage anybody within

453
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:25,839
government, it's government only. If if
you have someone approaching you, wanted

454
00:44:24,720 --> 00:44:29,440
to talk about locations, things like
that, get on the get on the site, check

455
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:34,400
it out. And if you need access to that,
just holler at me and let me know. I'd

456
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:38,480
be happy to get everybody on there.
Another thing I'm working on right now,

457
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:44,720
um, and I don't know how it's going.
It's kind of in limbo, 5050. We are

458
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:51,760
trying to purchase the GLLO grid data,
the block in section that is real,

459
00:44:48,720 --> 00:44:56,480
right? the actual corners for for where
these these blocks and sections meet.

460
00:44:54,160 --> 00:45:01,040
It's a massive data set. I can't just
cherry pick the counties I want. It's

461
00:44:58,240 --> 00:45:04,640
going to be from West Texas to Oklahoma
and even parts of New Mexico. It's the

462
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:10,720
entire thing. It's the whole basin
really. So, it's it's a bit of a a

463
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:14,720
situation to navigate for me to actually
get a hold of that. We're working on

464
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:19,119
that. I fully intend on sharing that
with your CAD so that we can maybe make

465
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:23,040
some alignments, right? so that we
understand where the proper block

466
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:26,160
insection actually is and we're not
poking around in the dark. Okay.

467
00:45:25,359 --> 00:45:29,280
» Um
>> Casey, can I hold you up on the eagle

468
00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:32,560
view?
>> Yes.

469
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:36,240
» Um yeah, I'm familiar with it, but um
you're overwhelmed. Annie's overwhelmed.

470
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:41,920
If
>> one of us would want to have more

471
00:45:38,319 --> 00:45:46,800
training, would it be good to work with
the appraisal district's new GIS mapper

472
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:50,720
or who would you suggest?
>> The GIS mapper. Yeah,

473
00:45:48,240 --> 00:45:56,079
» that is news to me. I can't wait to dive
into that. Um, so we can actually set up

474
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:59,359
a training with Eagle.
>> Okay, good.

475
00:45:56,720 --> 00:46:03,359
» We can do that if and what I would do is
just email out all of my end users

476
00:46:02,079 --> 00:46:07,440
» and let them know, hey, I have a
training coming up on this date

477
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:11,359
» and anybody wanting to join it would be
virtual, you know, and so, okay,

478
00:46:10,079 --> 00:46:14,640
» we can certainly do that. Let me write
myself a note.

479
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:17,599
» Thank you. And that'll happen in two
months from there, right?

480
00:46:15,599 --> 00:46:23,040
» Yeah, something like that.
Okay,

481
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:27,359
» y'all don't need me for that though. So,
okay, got it on my notes. Um, okay.

482
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:30,720
Y'all may or may not have heard I think
you did because I believe she came to

483
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:35,520
commissioners for it. The Census Bureau
is testing our region, right? She and I

484
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:39,359
are definitely in cahoots now. And
anybody that will be taking census uh

485
00:46:38,240 --> 00:46:44,560
surveys
>> can have access to Eagle View. So for

486
00:46:42,319 --> 00:46:49,440
those needing to navigate, especially to
the rural locations that are way out

487
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:54,000
there, they know now where they are. And
so that's going to be a really big help,

488
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:58,319
I think, for the upcoming census is to
actually know where we're going.

489
00:46:55,680 --> 00:47:02,240
» Um, a lot of people don't know this. We
are the data that is submitted to the

490
00:47:00,079 --> 00:47:06,880
Census Bureau. The addressing and road
centerline data that comes from us and

491
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:10,240
then everything trickles down from
there. So when we're looking at

492
00:47:08,319 --> 00:47:13,839
registering and things like that here in
a few years, it's going to be our data

493
00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:19,280
that we're looking after for that. So
which brings on that importance of how

494
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:25,119
important is addressing very very
important. I know that we all know we

495
00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:29,920
were underounted in 2020. We feel it. Um
I did actually hear through the Texas

496
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:36,160
demographic office that they collected
26% of the surveys in 2020. So, being

497
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:41,599
part of the testing region, that's why
that's why because we didn't do so hot

498
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:48,240
in 2020. Um, we're going to be testing
with them. I also am in the process of

499
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:53,280
of contacting the Texas demographic
office. They've reached out through

500
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:57,680
another cog and obtained our contact
information to be part of their testing

501
00:47:55,119 --> 00:48:02,319
as well. So, if we have a double whammy
testing, that's awesome. I love that.

502
00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:07,200
that puts us in the best possible
position for a 2030 count that actually

503
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:11,520
means something that actually bears some
sort of result that resembles our

504
00:48:09,119 --> 00:48:15,200
region. So really looking forward to
that and I encourage anyone if you're

505
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:22,960
having addressing issues call me. Fixing
this stuff does impact census, right? So

506
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:26,880
um and then finally subdivisions. Uh, as
you can see, when we have abuse

507
00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:32,160
subdivision, even if it's not a quote
unquote subdivision, right, we need to

508
00:48:30,079 --> 00:48:36,640
make sure that we are getting proper
names before they filed with the county.

509
00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:42,160
Once they have filed with the county,
now I have to honor that or force them

510
00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:49,520
to redraw with their surveyor and
refile. And I think we all know that

511
00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:53,839
ain't going to happen in most cases. Um,
and as we've said, we don't want road

512
00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:56,800
names that match. So, I caught one
yesterday in Bruce County Commissioner's

513
00:48:55,520 --> 00:49:02,880
Court that they were trying to pass a
road name that wasn't it matched and it

514
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:06,640
matched another one. So, as people
approach you for subdivision and things

515
00:49:04,559 --> 00:49:10,559
like that, please remind them, come to
me first. Let's make sure that road name

516
00:49:08,319 --> 00:49:15,200
is accurate, that it doesn't match, that
easements intact. That's another thing

517
00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:18,880
I'm looking for, right? uh before we
make our way to commissioner court and

518
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:22,720
waste your time honestly and waste the
surveyor's time who now is gonna have to

519
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:28,079
redraw. So
>> Casey has elimin I told them

520
00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:32,079
» we have spoken. Okay.
>> Now it's been a minute since we've

521
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:37,280
spoken and I honestly couldn't tell you
where we last left our last conversation

522
00:49:34,720 --> 00:49:41,839
but um I know they have reached out to
me. They are aware of our Okay. So good.

523
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:48,000
Yep.
>> Any questions?

524
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:50,960
you you are your father's daughter.
>> Oh, no.

525
00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:55,520
» No, that's a good thing.
>> And and we're very lucky to have you.

526
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:59,920
» Oh, are you are you
>> really her dad and I are double first

527
00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:04,240
cousins.
>> My grandmother was Marjorie Knight. She

528
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:06,880
she and my grandfather both very
interested or

529
00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:08,640
» wonderful.
>> I didn't know that.

530
00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:12,079
» Thanks for all you do.
>> That was my auntie.

531
00:50:10,079 --> 00:50:15,760
» Of course. Yep.
Well, thank you very much. Appreciate

532
00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:18,480
you guys. Thank you for your time.
>> Congratulations.

533
00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:21,920
» I hope it I hope it came with a pay
raise.

534
00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:26,079
» It did.
>> I wish it came with an additional person

535
00:50:24,079 --> 00:50:29,079
though. Another set of hands in the
brain.

536
00:50:29,119 --> 00:50:36,720
» Uh agenda item we'll we'll get back in
the queue. Agenda item number seven,

537
00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:41,040
discussion with action to approve
interlocal agreements for EMS ambulance

538
00:50:39,119 --> 00:50:47,280
services between Cidio County and the
cities of Cidio and Marsha.

539
00:50:43,599 --> 00:50:53,040
» All right, that's one of mine. And some
of y'all may not know that uh Blair had

540
00:50:49,760 --> 00:51:00,400
her baby on the 11th
and her having her baby kind of uh

541
00:50:56,640 --> 00:51:07,760
pushed things back a bit. So at this
point in time she has the bones of the

542
00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:17,119
interlocal agreement. She has the first
two pages done. Um, but what I I want to

543
00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:23,920
do is because of time constraints,
I am prepared to make a motion on this

544
00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:31,040
interlocal agreement so that we can keep
moving forward because once

545
00:51:28,079 --> 00:51:36,640
once Blair gets the interlocal agreement
and the judge signs off that, Carrie and

546
00:51:34,319 --> 00:51:41,040
I are working crazily to Carrie's
already gotten it on the agenda which

547
00:51:38,720 --> 00:51:46,079
I'll be presenting to the Martha City
Council and the Prescidio City Council

548
00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:51,839
because we have to have this interlocal
agreement in place in order to do the

549
00:51:49,119 --> 00:52:00,079
next step of the application.
Um, so what I am going to propose is I'd

550
00:51:56,400 --> 00:52:07,760
like to move to approve the Prescidio
County judge to enter into an interlocal

551
00:52:03,599 --> 00:52:14,760
agreement for EMS ambulance services
between Prescidio County and the cities

552
00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:14,760
of Prescidio and Mark.

553
00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:18,079
» I'll second
>> discussion. Oh, you've made a motion.

554
00:52:17,599 --> 00:52:24,559
» Yes, sir.
>> And I have a second discussion. Uh but

555
00:52:21,680 --> 00:52:28,960
if my understanding correctly when we
get the inter localal agreement the

556
00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:31,760
judge will be the person that moves it
forward.

557
00:52:29,599 --> 00:52:36,480
» He has to sign it. Yes. Yeah.
Definitely. And the judge will um then

558
00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:41,040
once we get it signed by the city of
Martha and Prescidio,

559
00:52:38,319 --> 00:52:46,079
» we'll have to scan that into the actual
application. You know, buddy, it was a

560
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:51,440
little surprising that the the task
force discovered this that there w

561
00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:58,000
there's just no interlocal agreement
other than an inter local agreement

562
00:52:53,760 --> 00:53:02,880
between the city of Marfa, the um
Prescidio County, and Jeff Davis County.

563
00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:08,960
And I think we're going to have to up
that because these interlocal agreements

564
00:53:05,119 --> 00:53:12,559
are usually renewed annually. Um, and
then we thought, well, maybe we can find

565
00:53:10,480 --> 00:53:19,520
a mutual aid agreement and we couldn't
find that. So, um, I worked with, um,

566
00:53:16,640 --> 00:53:24,400
uh, Judge Hennington at Brewster County
provided us with an example with that we

567
00:53:21,839 --> 00:53:31,440
got to Blair. We used the current Jeff
Davis, Marfa, and then also uh, Raul

568
00:53:27,599 --> 00:53:35,920
Getta, am I saying that right, Joe? Um,
he provided me with a template, too,

569
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:40,240
because I I went through that document
you sent and it was just a manual.

570
00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:46,079
didn't have anything in it. So Blair's
got all the information. It's just that

571
00:53:42,960 --> 00:53:51,359
Olive took president and rightfully so.
>> So that's what I'm asking for is us to

572
00:53:48,160 --> 00:53:56,079
give permission for Joe to work with
Blair to sign off that so we can get it

573
00:53:54,000 --> 00:54:00,760
in front of city council and make sure
that we get this grant in on time.

574
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:06,000
» Okay,
I have a motion. I have a second. Any

575
00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:09,680
other discussion?
>> All in favor? Bye.

576
00:54:08,079 --> 00:54:12,839
» Thank you so much for doing that.
>> Thank y'all.

577
00:54:13,280 --> 00:54:19,040
» I don't know. Is there anything else you
guys want to get to or you want to get

578
00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:24,720
into the Colonia project?
>> It's a discussion only.

579
00:54:22,160 --> 00:54:30,079
» Well, so agenda item number eight,
discussion only prospective Colonia

580
00:54:26,960 --> 00:54:34,079
projects. So, uh we've already submitted
the grant

581
00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:39,520
» uh the first portion of it through TDO.
>> Yes, sir.

582
00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:46,079
» Yes. Uh it's a million dollars. Uh and
um it looks like we're we'll have enough

583
00:54:43,359 --> 00:54:49,920
time to iron out all the things that we
really think we should where we should

584
00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:55,920
focus and spend the monies on if we're
lucky enough to get it. Uh um uh so this

585
00:54:53,599 --> 00:54:59,440
is not we're not going to hold anybody
anything. This is just to stimulate some

586
00:54:57,920 --> 00:55:03,520
conversation
uh about some of the things you're

587
00:55:01,119 --> 00:55:10,960
looking at. Probably the most pressing
is that uh the grant does does require

588
00:55:07,520 --> 00:55:15,119
51% of the projects to be water
wastewater and then after that now you

589
00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:24,640
can delve off into things you would
really um uh want. Uh so need has to be

590
00:55:20,319 --> 00:55:28,079
water wastewater and uh wants can be uh
topics of discussion but let's start at

591
00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:34,240
the very beginning. Let's just talk
about uh when and I I appreciate Miss

592
00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:39,599
Sanchez and Miss Nunes uh getting that
uh application in. We were pretty broad

593
00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:44,960
in the way we we kind of just just a big
sweep. These are the projects,

594
00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:50,400
but eventually we're going to have to
get more detailed. So, uh, my

595
00:55:48,079 --> 00:55:56,319
understanding is I did speak to
Kleinman, uh, because Kleinman has a a

596
00:55:53,680 --> 00:56:01,359
he has a a history of when when we had,
uh, back when I think when we were

597
00:55:58,319 --> 00:56:06,160
commissioner night, uh, when we had what
was the name of that guy that was the he

598
00:56:04,079 --> 00:56:12,400
was a city I think city administrator
for out and then he became a consultant

599
00:56:08,960 --> 00:56:16,960
and started doing graphics.
I think it's with a C. Cala or Tisuela

600
00:56:16,079 --> 00:56:21,040
or
>> I'm close. I'm close, right? I know it's

601
00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:26,079
not that guy, but I'm pretty close.
>> You're close.

602
00:56:21,839 --> 00:56:31,760
» And uh anyway, uh so he worked closely
with Kleman and with Ramon Rodriguez and

603
00:56:29,599 --> 00:56:34,720
they had a they had a pretty good it was
a robust list.

604
00:56:33,119 --> 00:56:37,040
» This Ramon or his father?
>> No, it was another one. Okay.

605
00:56:36,160 --> 00:56:40,880
» Ramon Kasco.
>> I was like, whoa, dude.

606
00:56:38,319 --> 00:56:46,079
» It was it was a Ramon Kasco. Okay. and
they have a very they had a very robust

607
00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:51,520
list of projects and we never would get
to them because back then the grants

608
00:56:47,839 --> 00:56:55,680
were 200,000 250,000
uh but they were doing a lot of septic

609
00:56:54,160 --> 00:57:01,440
systems
>> uh in the colonials

610
00:56:58,319 --> 00:57:07,040
um my understanding is in speaking with
with Ramon was there he still has a

611
00:57:04,640 --> 00:57:10,960
pretty active list of about 30 right
>> ballpark

612
00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:14,799
» uh that that still could use services
and that's without us even going and and

613
00:57:13,200 --> 00:57:20,400
knocking on doors and seeing who else
would qualify and who else would

614
00:57:16,720 --> 00:57:27,040
appreciate that service. So, um I do
know myself from just wandering around

615
00:57:22,480 --> 00:57:31,839
in and like Candelaria, Ruda, Redford,
um it's very common to find septic

616
00:57:30,480 --> 00:57:33,200
systems that have caved in on
themselves,

617
00:57:32,559 --> 00:57:38,720
» right?
>> Uh they've collapsed on themselves. Uh

618
00:57:36,079 --> 00:57:43,680
and again, why? Well, because way back
when they were made with just stones,

619
00:57:41,280 --> 00:57:49,440
» they dug holes and they put rocks around
them. Uh, and then that was Yeah, they

620
00:57:47,119 --> 00:57:54,720
were what they were.
>> Uh, so, so,

621
00:57:51,680 --> 00:58:04,359
» so Joe, my understanding is that Terry
did um, you listed 10 or one, two,

622
00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:04,359
three, four, five, six, seven.

623
00:58:05,680 --> 00:58:13,760
» Each project descriptions that would
best fit their,

624
00:58:10,160 --> 00:58:21,359
» right? And so the next step, so we we
got our list in, right? And so um once

625
00:58:18,480 --> 00:58:26,160
then we're we'll just wait for TDA to
come back and say these look like

626
00:58:24,480 --> 00:58:28,240
something you need to flush out a
little.

627
00:58:26,880 --> 00:58:31,200
» Yeah. They'll come back and they'll give
you like directions.

628
00:58:30,160 --> 00:58:34,319
» Right. Right.
>> Yeah.

629
00:58:32,720 --> 00:58:38,160
information. They'll
>> tomorrow they'll say either the county

630
00:58:36,079 --> 00:58:41,280
will qualify for the grant or they won't
or we won't

631
00:58:39,280 --> 00:58:46,960
» and then they'll flush whatever they
consider will be high priority.

632
00:58:44,400 --> 00:58:52,880
» But tomorrow is just qualify. They won't
tell us about which

633
00:58:49,440 --> 00:58:57,920
» and then once we have projects your
engineers and your administrators will

634
00:58:55,599 --> 00:59:01,160
work with
>> Right on.

635
00:59:01,520 --> 00:59:11,280
I actually got to sit with um Alicia and
um Carrie when they were doing that and

636
00:59:07,599 --> 00:59:19,520
I want to thank them in a big bad way
because it was very convoluted. Um but

637
00:59:16,319 --> 00:59:24,920
um we got through it right and so thank
y'all. Thank y'all very much.

638
00:59:21,920 --> 00:59:24,920
» Yeah.

639
00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:33,440
So ideas
>> are these are these

640
00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:38,400
» if we were to do
>> if it was to come to pass we put in

641
00:59:35,680 --> 00:59:41,359
septic systems is it for anybody in
accounting or is it for people that

642
00:59:39,920 --> 00:59:44,240
can't afford it? Do you have to
>> colonial

643
00:59:42,240 --> 00:59:50,319
» colon and I mean in the colonial
>> and even even in the colonials there are

644
00:59:47,280 --> 00:59:53,359
some people don't qualify in the
colonia.

645
00:59:51,119 --> 00:59:56,240
» I don't say who but I can see one right
there.

646
00:59:53,839 --> 01:00:01,520
» Right. Right. Yeah. I know exactly who
you're talking about. Yeah.

647
00:59:58,160 --> 01:00:04,400
» Um and and and I've talked with
>> but it should be somebody that's in need

648
01:00:03,599 --> 01:00:08,720
of
>> this without the wherewithal to do it.

649
01:00:06,640 --> 01:00:14,240
» And that's just what that is. That's the
running list

650
01:00:10,559 --> 01:00:19,839
» that Ruben has kept. And you can see I
wrote some notes on there because they

651
01:00:16,559 --> 01:00:24,160
had incorrect areas. And I think the
person you're talking about I actually

652
01:00:22,240 --> 01:00:29,599
said I don't see it.
>> Yeah. because I don't think that that

653
01:00:27,440 --> 01:00:34,720
they recognize that just because you
live in a colonia doesn't mean that you

654
01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:40,640
qualify for these monies.
>> Yeah. Yeah.

655
01:00:37,200 --> 01:00:48,480
» So, um it's been it's been so I like
again um so you're looking at what would

656
01:00:44,960 --> 01:00:49,599
it what would be 51% 500,000 plus plus
10?

657
01:00:49,040 --> 01:00:58,240
» Yes, sir.
>> Yeah. So $510,000

658
01:00:53,119 --> 01:01:03,200
would have to go to water and to
septic systems. So uh I'm going to and I

659
01:01:01,599 --> 01:01:07,599
don't know the number. I don't know what
does it cost to put in a septic system.

660
01:01:05,359 --> 01:01:13,280
I would say on the low end 4,000 and
probably 8,000 to 10,000

661
01:01:09,760 --> 01:01:19,559
» 8 to 10. I'd say if it's if it's
>> and it depends on I've had this issue on

662
01:01:16,559 --> 01:01:19,559
property

663
01:01:21,040 --> 01:01:28,319
com
and in some is instances they don't want

664
01:01:25,760 --> 01:01:31,599
you to put even a a regular septic
system. You have to put in a system with

665
01:01:30,240 --> 01:01:33,760
your area
>> and that

666
01:01:32,880 --> 01:01:38,079
» kicks it up
>> big time. Now maybe down there not so

667
01:01:36,640 --> 01:01:41,920
much but
>> well there were there were actually

668
01:01:39,599 --> 01:01:48,640
three projects that we listed for water
and wastewater. One was rehab of the

669
01:01:44,880 --> 01:01:54,480
single unit residential sewer systems.
>> The other one um and this was just I

670
01:01:51,680 --> 01:02:00,720
tried to come up with ideas for the
whole county. The other one was flood

671
01:01:57,280 --> 01:02:06,240
drainage improvements, rehab of flood
drainage facilities. And Margarito, I

672
01:02:04,240 --> 01:02:10,079
was speaking specifically about the
Redford. Yeah.

673
01:02:07,440 --> 01:02:14,720
» You know, those those um levies and
stuff like that.

674
01:02:11,440 --> 01:02:21,040
» And then the the other water and sewer
improvements category was replacement of

675
01:02:18,880 --> 01:02:27,680
water meters and water system
improvements to include electrical

676
01:02:23,440 --> 01:02:32,559
system repairs for all Colonia within
Prescidio County that have existing

677
01:02:30,720 --> 01:02:40,400
water systems.
So I think those three, you know, could

678
01:02:35,839 --> 01:02:47,200
easily get us to the 51% Joe. Um, and
then we have to recognize the remaining

679
01:02:43,200 --> 01:02:53,359
49% is where is that where the engineers
and the grant administrators get paid

680
01:02:49,839 --> 01:02:58,319
out of. So yeah, there's not going to be
a lot. Yeah, because

681
01:02:55,760 --> 01:03:04,160
» engineers are going to be um much more
pricey than the grant administrator.

682
01:03:01,680 --> 01:03:09,280
Yeah.
>> Um, so yeah, and I'll tell you because I

683
01:03:07,839 --> 01:03:16,319
see the same problem with video
procedto. They have 2,200 water meters.

684
01:03:12,720 --> 01:03:21,440
» Well, about 60% of them are manually
read. So, literally what you have, you

685
01:03:18,880 --> 01:03:26,640
have the water guys, the the maintenance
guys stop everything they're doing for

686
01:03:24,079 --> 01:03:30,319
almost a week and they have to go and
manually read these meters and it's a

687
01:03:29,039 --> 01:03:32,559
horrible waste of time,
>> right?

688
01:03:30,799 --> 01:03:40,240
» Uh, and the truth is is they just
haven't had the money to upgrade uh, you

689
01:03:35,760 --> 01:03:44,880
know, 1,600 water meters to be RF red.
And the ones that they do have that are

690
01:03:42,240 --> 01:03:50,079
RF red. What they do is it has a
receiver uh and it sends out a signal

691
01:03:47,680 --> 01:03:55,839
and they drive around with a laptop and
it promulgates the uh the data the usage

692
01:03:53,200 --> 01:03:59,520
of water uh which would take them half a
day or a day to just drive up and down

693
01:03:57,680 --> 01:04:02,559
the streets. Unfortunately they have to
read them by hand.

694
01:04:00,720 --> 01:04:08,640
» So and the same thing is happening the
colonials. They they we they have as a

695
01:04:04,799 --> 01:04:12,720
matter of fact I think Candelaria has uh
used water meters from the city of

696
01:04:10,640 --> 01:04:15,440
Presidio is what they have.
>> Really?

697
01:04:13,039 --> 01:04:21,039
» No they never they never got those Joe
but theirs are antiquated. They're down

698
01:04:17,920 --> 01:04:26,880
to 25 meters. And actually, you know, we
had hired Jimmy Abila from the city of

699
01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:32,160
Prescidio to help with that water
system. And he made some

700
01:04:28,799 --> 01:04:38,720
recommendations, but when we went um to
Pablo, there weren't any water meters

701
01:04:34,640 --> 01:04:42,880
available. So, these are decrepit. And
we were looking to Jimmy to make

702
01:04:40,799 --> 01:04:47,440
suggestions of what kind of water
meters, but that's probably what the

703
01:04:44,559 --> 01:04:53,119
engineers will do on this if if we get
No. No. And and I'll tell you and and I

704
01:04:49,680 --> 01:04:57,599
I say this with the in the kindest terms
with love in my heart. Uh if the city of

705
01:04:55,839 --> 01:05:02,319
Prescidio was auctioning off a vehicle,
I wouldn't buy it. Uh it's I mean it's

706
01:04:59,920 --> 01:05:05,680
worn out. If they're if done with it,
it's done, right?

707
01:05:03,200 --> 01:05:09,599
» Uh and the same thing with water meters.
If they're replacing those water meters,

708
01:05:07,599 --> 01:05:12,400
they probably are way past their shelf
life.

709
01:05:10,400 --> 01:05:16,559
» So, uh, this but this again, this would
be a good opportunity for us to go back

710
01:05:14,240 --> 01:05:19,839
and make their life a little simpler and
other improvements to the water system

711
01:05:18,480 --> 01:05:24,720
that we can think
>> redundancy

712
01:05:21,760 --> 01:05:30,960
uh an extra like the one that that was
put in that was one of the that was

713
01:05:26,799 --> 01:05:34,880
actually a CDBG one. Uh, my wife's she
she likes to say the twin towers, right?

714
01:05:33,359 --> 01:05:38,640
Whenever we go by there, it's twin
towers. One of them needs painting, by

715
01:05:36,559 --> 01:05:42,960
the way. But it goes back to the same
thing. What is it for? It's redundancy.

716
01:05:40,559 --> 01:05:47,119
Just like the water project and do a lot
of people say, "Well, if you needed

717
01:05:45,039 --> 01:05:52,319
redundancy, you only have one. You can't
work on it. It needs work. It's it's way

718
01:05:49,839 --> 01:05:56,480
past the shelf, like 30 years. Gaskets
need to replace. There's I don't know

719
01:05:54,799 --> 01:06:00,079
thousands of pounds of sediment
underneath that water tower that have to

720
01:05:58,240 --> 01:06:05,200
be sucked out." It's the same thing. You
can't work, you can't shut one down to

721
01:06:02,160 --> 01:06:11,839
work on it if you don't have a secondary
water source. Well, and Redford is even

722
01:06:08,480 --> 01:06:18,079
um talking about doing a third tower,
Joe, because all of the arsenic that is

723
01:06:15,200 --> 01:06:23,599
in the problem with the lower two, they
think if they move it further north and

724
01:06:21,119 --> 01:06:30,640
so they are are looking at taking that
on, but they just had to replace a major

725
01:06:27,039 --> 01:06:38,079
pump that really hit them hard. um as
far as so that's why I wanted to word it

726
01:06:33,520 --> 01:06:43,280
in such a way that um you know is just
water system improvements because that

727
01:06:41,119 --> 01:06:50,319
seems pretty broad and then the
engineers can tell us

728
01:06:45,680 --> 01:06:54,880
» I I'm I'm with you I'm in 110% this is a
this is a huge opportunity a gift where

729
01:06:53,440 --> 01:06:59,440
we can go and help these little
colonials uh and I don't disagree with

730
01:06:57,359 --> 01:07:02,720
your theory that that moving it back
from the river.

731
01:07:00,720 --> 01:07:04,319
» Uh getting out of that water table
wouldn't improve it,

732
01:07:03,680 --> 01:07:10,880
» right?
>> Uh so but it's going to cost money.

733
01:07:07,200 --> 01:07:15,680
» Um and so so even drilling a well, let's
say drilling a well north at all the

734
01:07:14,480 --> 01:07:22,559
locations
>> and then and then uh uh creating a new

735
01:07:19,920 --> 01:07:32,079
master line that goes to the existing
tank. Let's say it's a a a a deep well

736
01:07:27,680 --> 01:07:36,319
600 ft um two or three miles north. The
line to run it, what is that? 150

737
01:07:34,160 --> 01:07:42,000
$200,000 probably.
>> Well, they they each each water system,

738
01:07:39,599 --> 01:07:47,520
and I also talked to Trey saying a new
well is pretty much out of the picture.

739
01:07:44,480 --> 01:07:55,440
Um what Redford was identifying was a
real need for electrical system repairs.

740
01:07:50,400 --> 01:08:00,240
Sure. Um and um there of course you know
um Riodosa is in pretty good shape.

741
01:07:58,720 --> 01:08:08,960
Conaladia
um is always in need as you well know.

742
01:08:02,960 --> 01:08:14,160
Um so so um and I just don't think 49%
of a million once you take out the

743
01:08:11,359 --> 01:08:18,880
engineering fees well this this one is
actually the 51%.

744
01:08:16,400 --> 01:08:23,440
So, um I just don't I don't know that
we'll have enough to do new wells, but

745
01:08:21,440 --> 01:08:29,120
we just wanted to put something broad in
there. So, no no and I go back and

746
01:08:27,040 --> 01:08:32,319
that's that's you know the tr the truth
is going to come out when we have an

747
01:08:31,120 --> 01:08:35,199
engineer in front of us,
>> right?

748
01:08:32,880 --> 01:08:38,159
» And he tells us this is what this
project if that's where you're headed,

749
01:08:36,719 --> 01:08:40,159
this is what it's going to cost, right?
They'll have a lot better,

750
01:08:39,679 --> 01:08:44,560
» right,
>> understanding of of what things cost

751
01:08:42,319 --> 01:08:50,400
today. Uh so
>> and what's what's beautiful that now

752
01:08:46,560 --> 01:08:59,440
that we have a list is our auditors
about to go out with an RFP and an RFQ

753
01:08:54,400 --> 01:09:04,080
for um grant administrators and also for
engineers. A lot of these engineers have

754
01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:10,880
their own in-house
um uh as I spoke at the last meeting but

755
01:09:07,839 --> 01:09:15,040
um in-house grant administrators but we
feel that I know the calls I got from

756
01:09:13,359 --> 01:09:20,400
engineers were like what are the
projects and I couldn't say when we

757
01:09:18,000 --> 01:09:26,159
originally put that out so now having a
list I think we'll have a much more

758
01:09:22,799 --> 01:09:31,520
robust field that will actually apply.
>> Okay.

759
01:09:28,319 --> 01:09:35,520
And then uh again uh rehabilitation that
hasn't happened in probably

760
01:09:34,560 --> 01:09:37,759
30 years.
>> Yeah.

761
01:09:35,839 --> 01:09:40,880
» Was the last rehabilitation projects
that we did. Uh but that's another

762
01:09:40,400 --> 01:09:45,960
» right.
>> So that that I would at least ask that

763
01:09:42,799 --> 01:09:45,960
you consider

764
01:09:46,719 --> 01:09:54,080
» any other discussion.
So we'll see we'll see how it goes. So

765
01:09:52,000 --> 01:09:59,440
we'll move on to agenda item number
nine. discussion with action to approve

766
01:09:56,480 --> 01:10:05,440
the 2026 interlocal services agreement
on the 83rd district district attorney

767
01:10:02,239 --> 01:10:12,880
budget and in the 83rd district
attorney's office.

768
01:10:08,080 --> 01:10:19,040
So see here this is the annual renewal
right and this is what we've always

769
01:10:15,199 --> 01:10:22,320
budgeted for and Presidio is just paying
their percentage of the what five

770
01:10:21,280 --> 01:10:27,520
counties.
>> Yes. Um I don't remember the exact

771
01:10:24,320 --> 01:10:30,000
amount of budget but yeah you guys
>> 50,000 here for the year.

772
01:10:29,199 --> 01:10:35,120
» Yeah the same
>> is that is that same as last year? same

773
01:10:32,800 --> 01:10:41,760
payback for it.
>> I saw a payback if we if Beaver Party

774
01:10:39,120 --> 01:10:47,199
wants to terminate there's a payback.
>> I think they have a calendar year fiscal

775
01:10:45,920 --> 01:10:51,280
year and we have a
>> Yeah,

776
01:10:48,960 --> 01:10:54,400
» there starts January.
>> January start.

777
01:10:54,000 --> 01:10:58,320
» Yeah,
>> but it's the same amount,

778
01:10:55,600 --> 01:11:02,880
» right?
Yeah, it's $50,000 in quarterly

779
01:11:02,000 --> 01:11:05,880
payments.
>> Yeah.

780
01:11:12,719 --> 01:11:18,400
» I'm good.
>> I'm going to move that we approve the

781
01:11:15,760 --> 01:11:23,360
2026 interlocal service agreement on the
83rd district attorney budget in the

782
01:11:20,800 --> 01:11:27,920
83rd district attorney's office. I'll
>> second. I

783
01:11:24,000 --> 01:11:27,920
» have a motion second. All in favor?

784
01:11:29,040 --> 01:11:36,000
Agenda item number 10, discussion with
action to approve a joint contract

785
01:11:33,920 --> 01:11:40,719
between the Democratic Party, Republican
Party, and the Elections Department in

786
01:11:38,159 --> 01:11:44,040
Prescidio County.
It's just

787
01:11:45,679 --> 01:11:57,120
» um they do have a resolution that um
everyone needs to sign and the um

788
01:11:53,840 --> 01:12:00,560
contract is just between myself and the
both party.

789
01:11:58,159 --> 01:12:04,640
» Thank you. And this is what y'all know
about yesterday and hashed it all out

790
01:12:02,719 --> 01:12:07,920
and this is common place for every
election.

791
01:12:05,440 --> 01:12:13,360
» Yes. So, I am going to move that we
approve a joint contract between the

792
01:12:10,239 --> 01:12:17,679
Democratic Party, Republican Party, and
the Elections Department in Prescidio

793
01:12:16,320 --> 01:12:20,880
County.
>> I'll second.

794
01:12:18,880 --> 01:12:27,199
» Motion and second. All in favor?
>> I thank you.

795
01:12:24,159 --> 01:12:31,679
Agenda item number 11, discussion with
action to approve a contract with

796
01:12:28,960 --> 01:12:37,760
Spentra Holding Company to rent bid a
building to hold the 2026 primary and

797
01:12:34,400 --> 01:12:45,199
runoff elections for early voting and
election day and procedial.

798
01:12:41,440 --> 01:12:52,159
» So, we need a pretty goodiz place for
the primaries and that is the only place

799
01:12:49,120 --> 01:12:56,159
that I know of.
um

800
01:12:53,679 --> 01:13:04,080
to hold the election.
I think that we can get away with the

801
01:12:59,280 --> 01:13:10,760
runoff at the um annex.
>> So maybe just if you will approve the

802
01:13:07,760 --> 01:13:10,760
primary

803
01:13:10,880 --> 01:13:18,320
that
>> 2002

804
01:13:16,239 --> 01:13:21,600
» and that's for early voting
>> for early voting and election day.

805
01:13:20,320 --> 01:13:25,920
» Okay. in March 3rd
>> for the primary

806
01:13:23,440 --> 01:13:30,239
» and the runoff of people just hold that
at speed

807
01:13:28,640 --> 01:13:35,199
» in your office.
>> Yeah. And and I and uh and I was

808
01:13:32,400 --> 01:13:39,679
thinking about this and and here's just
you know what I hear the word on the

809
01:13:37,199 --> 01:13:43,520
street is well one time one time we do
it at the pack and then we do it at the

810
01:13:41,280 --> 01:13:49,840
annex and then we jump to I forget what
the name of that place is across from

811
01:13:46,400 --> 01:13:55,120
» I think we held it there once.
That's it. El Fabion once we had it at

812
01:13:52,400 --> 01:13:58,320
Spencer. And I think that locally what
I'm hearing is would you guys make up

813
01:13:56,800 --> 01:14:01,760
your mind because we don't know where to
go go and then we're going over here and

814
01:14:00,640 --> 01:14:05,600
we're going over there and then we show
up over here and they send us over

815
01:14:03,040 --> 01:14:12,159
there. I know there's been some changes
uh which give flexibility to rural uh uh

816
01:14:09,440 --> 01:14:16,080
uh rural counties like us a little
better options, right? So we don't have

817
01:14:14,080 --> 01:14:22,239
to do this shotgun blast.
had to um

818
01:14:18,719 --> 01:14:28,400
precede like we did before
>> which is it was huge. It's huge.

819
01:14:24,880 --> 01:14:33,760
» It's huge. So, uh, and it's a little bit
about the money, but to me, I mean, and

820
01:14:30,880 --> 01:14:37,840
I know the annex, uh, and I, just full
disclosure, I spoke to Judge Bishop

821
01:14:36,320 --> 01:14:42,080
because that's historically where it's
usually been, right?

822
01:14:38,960 --> 01:14:47,440
» And Judge Bishop has put her heels in
the horse and she's like, "No, you will

823
01:14:44,719 --> 01:14:52,800
not." And I'm super busy and I got stuff
and it's, you know, this is NORAD and we

824
01:14:50,239 --> 01:14:58,239
got super top secret stuff here and
anyway, whatever.

825
01:14:54,880 --> 01:15:04,640
» Right. Uh, so but again, I'm I think the
annex was okay. Here's what I will say

826
01:15:00,880 --> 01:15:08,719
about the annex. Um, the way it was set
up last go around, the last elections

827
01:15:06,400 --> 01:15:13,760
for the CEO, probably should have moved
that big old table out

828
01:15:11,199 --> 01:15:17,920
» and then probably put the workers behind
the desk where I usually sit, the

829
01:15:15,840 --> 01:15:21,920
workers sit up there and that would make
a little more space. Everything else was

830
01:15:19,600 --> 01:15:26,400
cleared out. I know it wasn't perfect
because I was out there on election day

831
01:15:24,719 --> 01:15:29,360
and of course a lot of people waited
till the last minute and there was a

832
01:15:27,760 --> 01:15:36,159
long line. I don't even know what time
the last vote was cast on election day.

833
01:15:32,480 --> 01:15:40,000
» So that was a timing thing. I mean but
uh was it what are the complaints about

834
01:15:38,080 --> 01:15:43,600
the or you tell me what were the
complaints about the annex building B

835
01:15:42,719 --> 01:15:47,760
specifically?
>> We didn't have any complaints. I just

836
01:15:45,360 --> 01:15:52,400
feel that for the primary
uh especially with the races that are

837
01:15:50,080 --> 01:15:54,800
being contested um it's just
>> it's too small.

838
01:15:54,159 --> 01:16:00,080
» Yeah.
>> What about I'm thinking about the pack.

839
01:15:57,199 --> 01:16:07,520
» Nope.
>> I'm put a new floor in there and it's

840
01:16:03,600 --> 01:16:12,880
not usable for what we need. Uh, we
would need the uh

841
01:16:10,640 --> 01:16:18,960
the area where they playing basketball,
whatever, the retail area and

842
01:16:16,960 --> 01:16:23,840
» they put in a new flooring and you have
to have athletic shoes

843
01:16:21,280 --> 01:16:29,040
» to go and they they were and I think
they're trying to stall it now. There

844
01:16:25,679 --> 01:16:34,000
was supposed to be a a false floor that
they could put on you that would make it

845
01:16:31,040 --> 01:16:38,480
walkable or dancable. It just it had
that hasn't been accomplished.

846
01:16:36,400 --> 01:16:40,719
» That even affected y'all's ability to
rent it out.

847
01:16:39,360 --> 01:16:46,400
» Yes. Yeah. Yes.
>> Yeah. Just to uh the

848
01:16:44,159 --> 01:16:52,640
county does have a budget for the one
rental fee, not for two uh elections.

849
01:16:49,760 --> 01:16:55,440
» So, she'll be fine with the primary you
guys wanted to.

850
01:16:53,360 --> 01:17:00,000
» Okay. The only the only problem that I
see with the Spencer place is that it's

851
01:16:57,760 --> 01:17:03,040
really close to the street and if people
is bringing an elderly to go or

852
01:17:01,760 --> 01:17:05,440
whatever, you know,
>> it's going to be kind of dangerous

853
01:17:04,640 --> 01:17:10,080
there, you know.
>> What's the other option? What where

854
01:17:07,280 --> 01:17:14,400
could we have it? We can't do pack. We
can't do judge bishops because we

855
01:17:12,239 --> 01:17:19,840
actually moved her in there because we
used to do it and I can see her. I I I

856
01:17:17,520 --> 01:17:23,440
appreciate her. And then if somebody's
going to be requesting the vote, you

857
01:17:21,440 --> 01:17:26,640
know, some people vote for them, right?
>> You know, there's no space. And then if

858
01:17:24,800 --> 01:17:29,920
you go to the other side, I think the
the last time I heard somebody came out

859
01:17:28,560 --> 01:17:32,719
and said, you know what, you all need to
move. So everybody had to move on the

860
01:17:32,400 --> 01:17:37,520
» right
>> on the small street between the

861
01:17:34,400 --> 01:17:42,560
financial services and Spanish.
>> I can give my input. But at the back

862
01:17:40,560 --> 01:17:47,040
there also have like little rooms in the
back

863
01:17:44,400 --> 01:17:52,239
» where you have your city council. says
school board school board one and then

864
01:17:48,719 --> 01:17:58,320
the the city council election general in
two different rooms in that in

865
01:17:55,520 --> 01:18:05,280
» we've made those before
and I think for the primary still

866
01:18:02,640 --> 01:18:11,239
» yeah that's that's half the size of the
>> rac issue of being able to walk

867
01:18:12,480 --> 01:18:22,159
it's every race is contested
Yeah.

868
01:18:18,080 --> 01:18:25,360
» So, so the item though is to approve a
contract with Spencer Holding Company,

869
01:18:24,400 --> 01:18:29,600
right?
>> And this is for the

870
01:18:27,440 --> 01:18:33,040
» And it says primary and runoff, but I
think it's just for the

871
01:18:30,880 --> 01:18:38,719
» for the primary. So, that would have to
be Okay. Well, I'll make a motion that

872
01:18:36,400 --> 01:18:44,159
we approve a contract with Spencer
Holding Company to rent a building to

873
01:18:41,360 --> 01:18:49,920
hold the 2026
primary for early voting in election

874
01:18:47,760 --> 01:18:52,400
day,
Texas.

875
01:18:50,480 --> 01:18:54,640
» I have a motion and a second and then
I'll continue the discussion.

876
01:18:53,920 --> 01:19:00,560
» Oh, I'm sorry.
>> No, that's okay. Don't worry about it.

877
01:18:56,239 --> 01:19:04,520
Uh I I just want to just uh the annex I
I think it's still viable.

878
01:19:05,040 --> 01:19:13,360
But here's the here's the thing I do
recognize. It's January 14th.

879
01:19:11,040 --> 01:19:17,719
So, uh I mean we're running out of time.
I mean you're you're looking at

880
01:19:17,920 --> 01:19:24,080
» just a couple of weeks and it's time to
get hot and heavy, right?

881
01:19:21,679 --> 01:19:27,920
» Yes. So, I don't want to be even though
even though I still want to I want to

882
01:19:26,000 --> 01:19:31,520
continue having the discussion, I don't
want it to be where well, there's four

883
01:19:29,600 --> 01:19:35,040
of us here and then we split two or
something like that and then and then

884
01:19:32,880 --> 01:19:41,520
we're and then we're coming back in
here. I don't think it's

885
01:19:38,239 --> 01:19:45,199
I I again uh I just just hearing from
the people they're like we just want

886
01:19:43,040 --> 01:19:48,640
some consistency and a lot of it is just
what we have available to us in the CU I

887
01:19:47,520 --> 01:19:54,480
understand
>> and I guess my feeling is is that these

888
01:19:51,920 --> 01:20:01,520
election officials have been doing this
for quite some time and you know um none

889
01:19:58,960 --> 01:20:06,320
of us have to run the elections and I
have heard I've heard that about moving

890
01:20:03,760 --> 01:20:12,960
it around even when we've had to move
from the USO over here to the firehouse.

891
01:20:10,000 --> 01:20:16,880
Um, but I think that the people that
want to vote will will turn out and

892
01:20:15,360 --> 01:20:20,800
vote.
>> So, what about uh where's Marfa having

893
01:20:19,840 --> 01:20:26,320
their
>> Mara? I went to city council yesterday

894
01:20:23,600 --> 01:20:28,159
last night and we are having a visitor
center.

895
01:20:26,800 --> 01:20:29,520
» Okay. USO building.
>> Yes.

896
01:20:28,960 --> 01:20:37,679
» Yeah.
>> Yeah. Okay. Any other anybody else have

897
01:20:34,640 --> 01:20:42,560
to get anything else off their chest?
All right. So, let's go ahead and I have

898
01:20:40,159 --> 01:20:45,199
a motion and I have a second. All in
favor?

899
01:20:43,520 --> 01:20:50,800
» And I'm going to go ahead and
>> and say yeah, let's let's get this.

900
01:20:48,719 --> 01:20:54,640
» Let's get this selection behind us.
>> Well, I mean, I go back to the same

901
01:20:52,800 --> 01:20:59,840
thing. I know you don't need any added
stress. It's going to be a lot of work,

902
01:20:57,199 --> 01:21:07,040
» right?
>> Yeah. So, let's move on to agenda item

903
01:21:04,000 --> 01:21:11,199
number 12. Uh, and it's from the
sheriff. Discussion with action to

904
01:21:09,520 --> 01:21:15,600
approve the second amendment to the
contract and agreement with correct

905
01:21:13,679 --> 01:21:20,440
solutions group LLC through the
provisions tablets for inmates.

906
01:21:21,920 --> 01:21:28,640
» Good morning, commissioners.
>> Good morning.

907
01:21:26,480 --> 01:21:34,480
» Uh, bear with me. My voice is going
away. Uh this item is just to consider

908
01:21:31,679 --> 01:21:38,400
approval for a second amendment uh to
our existing contract with correct

909
01:21:36,400 --> 01:21:42,719
solutions group
uh for um providing tablets for the

910
01:21:41,120 --> 01:21:46,080
inmates.
The amendment only updates the current

911
01:21:44,640 --> 01:21:50,800
agreement and doesn't replace the
original contract.

912
01:21:48,560 --> 01:21:54,560
Right now we don't currently have tablet
services provided for the inmates and

913
01:21:53,040 --> 01:22:00,880
we're
probably one of the many jails that

914
01:21:57,600 --> 01:22:05,040
don't have it. Everyone has upgraded to
video visitation and basically

915
01:22:03,679 --> 01:22:11,760
everything the inmates can do is now
electronic. Um we're kind of behind. I

916
01:22:09,120 --> 01:22:16,880
do know that this uh will help provide
more revenue as they'll have to pay for

917
01:22:14,960 --> 01:22:22,320
all the services that the tablets
provide. I believe the only thing that

918
01:22:19,199 --> 01:22:28,400
is free are a selection of music and
movies and maybe um some emails like

919
01:22:26,639 --> 01:22:33,120
they'll get like a free email here and
there for their family or friends. And

920
01:22:31,280 --> 01:22:36,880
the other service that is free is the
law library

921
01:22:35,120 --> 01:22:43,040
which I'm excited about because our law
library is pretty sad in the library

922
01:22:39,360 --> 01:22:50,719
here at the jail. Um that'll help reduce
a lot of the complaints that come in as

923
01:22:47,040 --> 01:22:57,520
well as it's going to have the jailer is
less uh less likely to lose requests

924
01:22:54,400 --> 01:23:02,320
from the cell to my desk for medical
requests, mental health request,

925
01:23:00,880 --> 01:23:07,120
any kind of requests that they may make
throughout the day. Now they can do it

926
01:23:03,679 --> 01:23:12,159
electronically directly to me through
the computer.

927
01:23:09,600 --> 01:23:18,480
Um the tablets are going to be at no
cost to the county. Uh correct solutions

928
01:23:15,120 --> 01:23:23,040
group will uh inst the installation of
all the tablets at zero operating and

929
01:23:20,239 --> 01:23:28,960
there is zero operating cost.
If tablets are damaged or broken uh I

930
01:23:26,239 --> 01:23:33,679
want to incorporate into the policy that
the inmate will be responsible for

931
01:23:30,800 --> 01:23:37,679
replacing that tablet.
Meaning we could just deduct the amount

932
01:23:35,760 --> 01:23:40,679
for the tablet directly from their
account.

933
01:23:41,440 --> 01:23:47,920
and it general wear and tear on the
tablets. Correct solutions group will

934
01:23:45,679 --> 01:23:51,760
also replace that at no cost to the
county.

935
01:23:50,000 --> 01:23:55,000
And yeah, that's pretty much all I have
right now.

936
01:23:55,679 --> 01:24:05,520
» Andrea, um, if we approve this second
amendment to the contract, I might have

937
01:24:03,120 --> 01:24:09,520
missed this. Is there an increase in
cost?

938
01:24:06,239 --> 01:24:15,520
» No. Okay, there's no increase.
>> So, this will basically just provide

939
01:24:12,719 --> 01:24:20,239
more revenue, right?
>> It will generate more revenue.

940
01:24:18,159 --> 01:24:25,600
» Right now,
>> right now, the inmates don't pay for

941
01:24:22,239 --> 01:24:30,480
visitation. Visitation is free. I know
for a fact that this will have a lot

942
01:24:28,080 --> 01:24:34,800
more inmate inmates receiving visitation
because majority of the inmates family

943
01:24:32,239 --> 01:24:39,360
is from a different country. So they
don't come to visit them anyways. So now

944
01:24:37,520 --> 01:24:45,280
they'll be able to see their family and
they'll have to pay for it. So that's

945
01:24:42,080 --> 01:24:51,120
going to be a new cost coming in for us,
a new revenue coming in.

946
01:24:48,320 --> 01:24:57,679
» You haven't run any numbers of a a
potential of increase, have you, Andrea?

947
01:24:54,719 --> 01:25:01,840
of uh the population increase.
>> No, the potential of revenue increase.

948
01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:05,040
You probably haven't run any numbers on
that yet, have you?

949
01:25:03,440 --> 01:25:10,800
» No.
>> Okay. Okay.

950
01:25:08,400 --> 01:25:16,320
» Madam Auditor, do you have any
>> Well, she's saying,

951
01:25:13,280 --> 01:25:20,560
but I would like to see some numbers
actually,

952
01:25:18,560 --> 01:25:23,880
» right?
>> What was that?

953
01:25:23,920 --> 01:25:34,239
I I guess what uh let's say
hypothetically we approve it and you

954
01:25:29,760 --> 01:25:41,440
have one one inmate that that has a
visitation. You're saying that there's a

955
01:25:38,080 --> 01:25:45,600
u there's a monetary value to it that
that the sheriff's office would see.

956
01:25:43,520 --> 01:25:49,920
What what would that be? Say we just had
one visit. you.

957
01:25:47,600 --> 01:25:55,120
» Okay. Let's say let's say the visit is
20 minutes long, which right now our

958
01:25:52,639 --> 01:26:03,520
in-person visits are 20 minutes long. Uh
it'd probably be about

959
01:25:58,639 --> 01:26:09,719
let's say 14 cents a minute maybe.
>> Probably I'm assuming it's going to be

960
01:26:05,040 --> 01:26:09,719
like a phone call the cost.

961
01:26:10,480 --> 01:26:20,719
So there's no use there's no charge for
use of the actual tablet other than the

962
01:26:17,760 --> 01:26:27,360
minutes that they're on the call.
>> You're not renting out the tablet.

963
01:26:22,960 --> 01:26:30,800
» Yeah. So uh a 20 minute call $2.80.
Yeah.

964
01:26:28,239 --> 01:26:38,719
» Yeah. So,
they'll be charged for using it to rent

965
01:26:34,639 --> 01:26:44,080
rent movie, rent a movie, rent a a song,
rent uh make a phone call, write an

966
01:26:41,440 --> 01:26:50,639
email to their family, get a visit on
video. Those will all be charged. Now,

967
01:26:48,800 --> 01:26:54,719
» I I would hope they wouldn't have access
to adult websites.

968
01:26:52,880 --> 01:27:01,679
» No, sir.
They're definitely very well locked

969
01:26:56,880 --> 01:27:07,280
down. And the movie selection will be um
pre-screened like there it's just a

970
01:27:03,760 --> 01:27:08,880
general list of movies that all gels use
that are

971
01:27:08,080 --> 01:27:13,040
» no
>> rated PGM

972
01:27:11,440 --> 01:27:18,639
» because I' I've read through the
agreement and it's very standard, very

973
01:27:15,760 --> 01:27:23,840
basic. My thing is is do you guys still
need if you have an inmate that doesn't

974
01:27:21,520 --> 01:27:27,679
deserve it? Uh do you guys have a
mechanism internally to say you've been

975
01:27:26,080 --> 01:27:32,719
a naughty boy, you're not going to get
it?

976
01:27:28,960 --> 01:27:37,520
» Yes. So if they are um if they are in a
disciplinary um action, they won't have

977
01:27:35,199 --> 01:27:42,480
any access to a tablet.
>> Um otherwise if they are misusing the

978
01:27:40,639 --> 01:27:45,360
tablet and they are still in general
population,

979
01:27:43,600 --> 01:27:48,719
» we have a mechanism to where it'll be
locked down. They cannot access the

980
01:27:47,040 --> 01:27:52,639
tablet.
>> Okay.

981
01:27:50,480 --> 01:27:59,360
And from what I'm seeing is the tablets
will be mounted on the wall and it will

982
01:27:55,199 --> 01:28:05,600
be uh checked out by their inmate ID. So
no inmate can use someone else's tablet

983
01:28:02,800 --> 01:28:10,239
without the ID. I know there's face
recognition as well. So if an inmate

984
01:28:07,520 --> 01:28:14,239
does have access to another inmate's ID
and gets on a tablet, the tablet's going

985
01:28:12,159 --> 01:28:18,520
to kick that inmate out because it's not
the correct face to the number.

986
01:28:20,239 --> 01:28:26,719
Then there's also restrictions on the
tablet. Um, if someone is having a video

987
01:28:25,199 --> 01:28:33,360
visitation
and the visitor is exposing themselves

988
01:28:30,480 --> 01:28:39,960
or showing something inappropriate, the
tablet will automatically kick them out.

989
01:28:35,600 --> 01:28:39,960
It's being monitored 247.

990
01:28:40,400 --> 01:28:50,480
» Well, I don't I don't see this as it's
not creating any additional costs to the

991
01:28:45,840 --> 01:28:58,239
county. It has the potential to bring in
some kind of revenue and I trust the

992
01:28:54,880 --> 01:29:04,320
sheriff and Andrea to make sure they
have all their protocols in place to

993
01:29:01,440 --> 01:29:09,920
make sure that inmates are playing by
the appropriate rules. So, I would like

994
01:29:07,840 --> 01:29:15,360
to make a motion if that's okay with
y'all. Um, I'm going to move that we

995
01:29:13,040 --> 01:29:21,360
approve the second amendment to the
contract and agreement with Correct

996
01:29:18,239 --> 01:29:26,719
Solutions Group LLC for the provision of
tablets for inmates.

997
01:29:23,679 --> 01:29:28,560
» I'll second.
>> Thank you.

998
01:29:27,360 --> 01:29:30,400
» Favor.
>> I

999
01:29:29,600 --> 01:29:33,880
» You're welcome.
>> Thank you, Andrea.

1000
01:29:37,840 --> 01:29:42,760
I
>> think we're at 18 now. Judge.

1001
01:29:58,800 --> 01:30:07,199
All right. So, we're going to move on to
agenda item number 18. discussion with

1002
01:30:04,960 --> 01:30:12,639
action to relocate the road and bridge
department office to the old procedial

1003
01:30:09,120 --> 01:30:17,120
county appraisal district office.
>> Yes, and that's that's something that I

1004
01:30:14,480 --> 01:30:21,520
was approached by our employee with road
and bridges, you know, that it's a

1005
01:30:19,360 --> 01:30:25,600
bigger space and it and sometimes she
has a difficulty with her maps

1006
01:30:24,080 --> 01:30:29,600
» on the front office because it's so
small and the the the back part and then

1007
01:30:28,159 --> 01:30:33,120
the employees when they come in if
they're dirty or whatever, you know,

1008
01:30:30,800 --> 01:30:37,280
they can come back to the back door. I
don't know maybe Bianca could explain to

1009
01:30:35,040 --> 01:30:40,920
you all but why why it would be a lot
easier for them to to

1010
01:30:43,520 --> 01:30:48,639
» the guys call me sometimes they're like
we have on our boots can you bring the

1011
01:30:47,440 --> 01:30:50,400
paperwork outside
>> right

1012
01:30:48,960 --> 01:30:56,960
» and that's it I have to go outside give
them paperwork and they would they would

1013
01:30:52,719 --> 01:31:00,639
go into the back office but um they need
that office and they do not want to bug

1014
01:30:58,560 --> 01:31:04,080
her whenever if she's there
>> so they also don't want to come through

1015
01:31:02,000 --> 01:31:10,560
the main doors and see people have them
all soy, but it's time for you. Um, so

1016
01:31:07,760 --> 01:31:16,560
that's my main concern. Um, I talked to
Commissioner as well that I had

1017
01:31:14,560 --> 01:31:20,639
two older gentlemen come in and look at
maps in Redford and I had them on their

1018
01:31:19,040 --> 01:31:25,840
knees looking at maps, right?
>> So, that's not what I want again. That's

1019
01:31:22,960 --> 01:31:32,880
the only reason. And this was created
because the Presidio appraisal district

1020
01:31:28,880 --> 01:31:36,719
has moved out of that office. And I I
think this is a great new for y'all.

1021
01:31:35,040 --> 01:31:42,239
» Yeah,
>> you bet.

1022
01:31:39,199 --> 01:31:47,520
And no one else is
Everyone down there is all on board and

1023
01:31:45,040 --> 01:31:53,760
supporting y'all from what I what I
understand. So, I'd like to make a a

1024
01:31:51,040 --> 01:31:58,719
motion that we approve the relocation of
the road and bridge department office to

1025
01:31:56,239 --> 01:32:03,440
the old Presidio County Appraisal
District.

1026
01:32:00,719 --> 01:32:08,560
» I have a motion and a second.
I do know I think there's a chapter two

1027
01:32:05,440 --> 01:32:12,480
to this. I believe that I know that uh
the crime victims coordinator has been

1028
01:32:10,719 --> 01:32:16,159
complaining about the smell in her
office. Uh, I don't know if you guys

1029
01:32:14,480 --> 01:32:20,560
have walked in that back office of the
annex where Bonita's office used to be,

1030
01:32:18,639 --> 01:32:25,520
but we've already cut the sheetrock at
the bottom and it just it's just mold

1031
01:32:23,440 --> 01:32:28,320
and it just when it rains and we just
had rain, it just smells,

1032
01:32:27,920 --> 01:32:32,080
» right?
>> Um, so

1033
01:32:30,480 --> 01:32:36,000
eventually we're going to have to tackle
that. But I know that one of her things

1034
01:32:34,159 --> 01:32:40,000
and I'll tell you, I have actually felt
it. I've been in that office

1035
01:32:37,760 --> 01:32:44,560
» and you do get headaches
>> from the smell in there. So, I know

1036
01:32:41,440 --> 01:32:48,480
she's gonna want to move herself. I
don't know if it's gone through Blair or

1037
01:32:46,719 --> 01:32:52,960
if you guys want to do one.
>> I think Blair's gonna bring that

1038
01:32:50,159 --> 01:32:57,520
forward, but they wanted this to take
place.

1039
01:32:54,560 --> 01:33:00,880
» So, we'll take it one step at a time.
>> All right.

1040
01:32:59,440 --> 01:33:05,679
» Congratulations.
>> So, we have a motion

1041
01:33:03,280 --> 01:33:08,239
and a second. All in favor?
>> I

1042
01:33:06,960 --> 01:33:12,560
» Okay.
>> Yes.

1043
01:33:08,800 --> 01:33:16,880
» Okay. And agenda item number 19,
discussion only regarding adding

1044
01:33:14,880 --> 01:33:20,320
parental leave to the Prescidio County
employee policy. So we don't have a

1045
01:33:18,960 --> 01:33:25,280
parental leave.
>> So we we don't have parental leave

1046
01:33:22,159 --> 01:33:29,120
policy, sir. What we do have is FMLA. Uh
it only applies to employees that have

1047
01:33:27,040 --> 01:33:34,719
been working with the county for up to
one year. Uh and it also, you know, kind

1048
01:33:32,159 --> 01:33:39,280
of just saves your job. If you don't
have any time saved, then you don't get

1049
01:33:37,679 --> 01:33:44,960
a paycheck.
uh with friends leave since we've been

1050
01:33:41,360 --> 01:33:50,239
having you know my assistant is pregnant
just had a baby just had a baby and

1051
01:33:47,120 --> 01:33:54,639
we've had other cases where like my
assistant hasn't been in uh in my office

1052
01:33:52,880 --> 01:33:59,440
for one year yet so she doesn't even
qualify for FM only

1053
01:33:57,360 --> 01:34:04,480
» so we're trying to find a workar around
that she's still continue to approve a

1054
01:34:01,600 --> 01:34:10,320
paycheck but she has to work right have
a baby so we're not uh completely

1055
01:34:08,719 --> 01:34:14,159
We haven't checked out the details. So,
it's happening more often because we

1056
01:34:12,000 --> 01:34:19,920
have a younger crew of women
>> working with like the county and it's

1057
01:34:17,120 --> 01:34:23,360
kind of our policies are kind of
outdated.

1058
01:34:21,760 --> 01:34:26,400
So, Blair thought that it would be a
great idea to start bringing this to the

1059
01:34:24,880 --> 01:34:31,840
discussion. If there's any interest from
the commissioners in doing this, uh we

1060
01:34:29,600 --> 01:34:35,199
would write a policy to create the
turnover, you know, just not for mom but

1061
01:34:33,920 --> 01:34:36,639
also for the
>> Thank you.

1062
01:34:36,080 --> 01:34:40,239
» Yes.
>> Yep. Yeah,

1063
01:34:38,320 --> 01:34:43,840
» we probably ought to move into the 21st
century,

1064
01:34:40,880 --> 01:34:47,840
» right?
>> I think it's a great idea.

1065
01:34:45,360 --> 01:34:52,639
» And we were thinking about an 8week kind
of going based on what the state does

1066
01:34:49,360 --> 01:34:57,600
for their employees. U private practices
are more lenient. They have 12 to 16

1067
01:34:55,280 --> 01:35:01,040
weeks. We would kind of go in the middle
with a week.

1068
01:34:59,360 --> 01:35:04,400
» Uh it wouldn't add anything to the
budget because you already have those

1069
01:35:02,320 --> 01:35:09,280
hours budgeted for the employees already
working. It would just kind of be

1070
01:35:06,960 --> 01:35:14,560
I would be for those employees that feel
the pressure to go right back to work

1071
01:35:12,320 --> 01:35:19,600
that don't have any other time like FMLA
or vacation or sick time.

1072
01:35:17,760 --> 01:35:24,719
So just up to the commissioners kind of
discuss on that and if you were

1073
01:35:20,880 --> 01:35:29,280
interested we will bring it policy.
>> That was going to be my question. Do you

1074
01:35:26,480 --> 01:35:31,920
have a plan? So y'all will start if we
>> if you guys

1075
01:35:30,080 --> 01:35:35,920
» Well, we're just discussing so we won't
be I think it's a great idea.

1076
01:35:33,520 --> 01:35:39,440
» I think it's a great idea.
Yeah.

1077
01:35:37,600 --> 01:35:44,560
» Bless.
>> I'll ask now.

1078
01:35:40,719 --> 01:35:52,400
» So go forward and all the young mamas uh
and daddies be fruitful and multiply.

1079
01:35:49,280 --> 01:35:57,199
» Um we'll move on to agenda item number
20. Discussion with action to approve

1080
01:35:54,639 --> 01:36:03,840
the Prescidio County Department reports.
>> Um all reports were turned on are in

1081
01:35:59,600 --> 01:36:09,920
there. um Mara volunteer fire fire
department and emergency management um

1082
01:36:07,600 --> 01:36:15,040
he is out of town so he will get that to
me and I'll put it on the next regular

1083
01:36:11,760 --> 01:36:19,719
meeting and then I didn't receive
the presidial EMS for voluntary

1084
01:36:33,040 --> 01:36:38,880
You know, Presidio EMS and Fire
Department has been doing a real good

1085
01:36:36,880 --> 01:36:42,719
job, right, Kadina?
>> They have been getting them in. It's

1086
01:36:40,800 --> 01:36:47,159
just that this month, it's just this
month.

1087
01:36:43,600 --> 01:36:47,159
» That's what I thought.

1088
01:36:47,840 --> 01:36:56,560
» Well, I move that we approve the
Prescidio County Department reports.

1089
01:36:53,440 --> 01:37:04,159
And I would also like to state that um
the judge asked me to um have our

1090
01:37:00,400 --> 01:37:10,000
veterans county service officer start
doing a report. Do we have any examples

1091
01:37:07,600 --> 01:37:13,040
when those were done before or were they
ever done?

1092
01:37:10,960 --> 01:37:17,840
» Not sure.
>> Okay.

1093
01:37:15,679 --> 01:37:21,679
» And that's typically always at the
regular meeting, right? Okay.

1094
01:37:20,639 --> 01:37:27,119
» Yeah. Make sure that
>> and just I guess just standard stuff.

1095
01:37:23,679 --> 01:37:33,440
Hours of operation.
>> Yeah.

1096
01:37:30,000 --> 01:37:37,080
» Been attended uh veterans veterans uh
services rendered.

1097
01:37:38,080 --> 01:37:49,440
» Got it.
>> I know she's doing a lot of online

1098
01:37:43,679 --> 01:37:55,679
training with the um Katrina Karina. I I
get them all mixed up. And in order to

1099
01:37:52,480 --> 01:38:00,960
get her certification and as soon as she
finishes the online training, um that's

1100
01:37:58,639 --> 01:38:05,760
why we have the laptop, we will be
getting her the software. And I don't

1101
01:38:03,760 --> 01:38:11,119
know if you had this to your access when
you were the veterans officer, Joe, but

1102
01:38:09,040 --> 01:38:17,679
um with the training she's getting from
the Texas Veterans Commission, she'll be

1103
01:38:14,239 --> 01:38:21,920
able to go right into the VA files, not
just make a call and try to get the

1104
01:38:20,719 --> 01:38:27,440
information because that's something
Alie shared with me that he got real

1105
01:38:24,560 --> 01:38:33,920
frustrated that he wasn't getting the
the quick access that he wanted. So,

1106
01:38:31,600 --> 01:38:36,320
there's that. No, there's just a lot of
there can be a lot of improvements to

1107
01:38:35,520 --> 01:38:39,520
the VA.
>> Right. Right.

1108
01:38:38,800 --> 01:38:45,199
» So,
>> Right.

1109
01:38:41,520 --> 01:38:47,679
» Okay. And we'll move on to agenda item
number 21.

1110
01:38:47,280 --> 01:38:50,480
» I'm sorry.
>> We didn't vote.

1111
01:38:48,400 --> 01:38:54,639
» Oh, I'm so sorry. I'll second. So, I
have a motion and I have a second. All

1112
01:38:52,400 --> 01:38:58,320
in favor to approve the Prescidio County
Department reports and I

1113
01:38:56,800 --> 01:39:01,840
» Okay.
And agenda item number 21,

1114
01:39:00,239 --> 01:39:07,280
administrative updates and announcements
from the county judge and commissioner.

1115
01:39:05,520 --> 01:39:13,520
» Judge, commissioner.
>> Ah, yeah. I got a

1116
01:39:10,880 --> 01:39:18,639
regarding the elevator. I there's some
paperwork needs to be done by TK

1117
01:39:16,000 --> 01:39:22,400
elevator service. And I talked to the
guy yesterday and he said, "We've never

1118
01:39:20,560 --> 01:39:26,480
had to do that before." And he actually
got a little

1119
01:39:23,520 --> 01:39:31,440
» offended offended with me. and and and I
asked him, I said, "Well, look it over

1120
01:39:27,920 --> 01:39:37,040
and call me back." And he never has. Um
and thanks to the auditor, we've she's

1121
01:39:34,800 --> 01:39:41,760
been the really the front person on this
dealing with them a little bit, but they

1122
01:39:39,199 --> 01:39:46,800
have everything they need.
I don't I don't know the next step. If

1123
01:39:43,840 --> 01:39:54,880
there's anybody got any ideas,
uh I know that the

1124
01:39:50,639 --> 01:39:58,639
our attorney's been looking at
>> other options.

1125
01:39:55,840 --> 01:40:02,080
» Yeah. Breaking the contract, but it's
not a big deal. That paper's

1126
01:40:01,280 --> 01:40:06,159
uh
>> one page.

1127
01:40:02,880 --> 01:40:12,239
» Yeah, one page. And
>> I mean, I don't know who else to talk

1128
01:40:08,480 --> 01:40:15,679
to. It's kind of a I talk to one guy one
time, the next guy won't answer his

1129
01:40:13,840 --> 01:40:19,679
phone,
somebody else the next time. And it's

1130
01:40:18,080 --> 01:40:22,480
kind of like
>> we want your money, but we don't want

1131
01:40:21,199 --> 01:40:27,440
you working. They keep telling me
they're charging us storage on

1132
01:40:24,159 --> 01:40:31,679
materials, which I thought
>> he's baloney. I have a hard time.

1133
01:40:30,159 --> 01:40:36,000
» You haven't paid anything.
>> Yeah. Are they billing you for that? How

1134
01:40:33,520 --> 01:40:39,840
much is the bill? They keep sending us a
bill for materials that have not been

1135
01:40:37,520 --> 01:40:45,440
delivered. They cannot deliver unless
this is uh fixed. So they keep sending

1136
01:40:42,639 --> 01:40:50,560
us a bill for about $100,000.
Um so they had come about two months ago

1137
01:40:48,320 --> 01:40:54,320
to start the work, but they found out
that you know they they needed to go to

1138
01:40:52,159 --> 01:40:58,400
the THC and the guy that came said that
he had worked with them.

1139
01:40:56,560 --> 01:41:04,159
» We had submitted the form. It's a
onepage form. Yeah. Um, and we haven't

1140
01:41:02,080 --> 01:41:08,560
been able to get anybody from CK to fill
it out. I think Blair was looking into

1141
01:41:06,719 --> 01:41:10,719
seeing
the contract.

1142
01:41:09,440 --> 01:41:14,800
» That was going to be that was going to
be my suggestion is to have Blair write

1143
01:41:13,280 --> 01:41:19,679
a formal
>> uh a legal demand.

1144
01:41:17,520 --> 01:41:23,280
You are in violation. We believe you're
in violation of contract. We simply need

1145
01:41:22,159 --> 01:41:26,080
this done
>> and move forward.

1146
01:41:24,400 --> 01:41:32,560
» And move forward.
>> We have a variance now on the door.

1147
01:41:28,560 --> 01:41:37,840
Plus, the guy told me, he said the plan
showed it for it to be in code anyway.

1148
01:41:36,159 --> 01:41:42,719
So, okay,
>> maybe doing an RT would be the best next

1149
01:41:40,639 --> 01:41:45,520
the next thing. Probably getting another
proposal,

1150
01:41:43,520 --> 01:41:48,719
» but do they have materials they're
holding on to?

1151
01:41:46,639 --> 01:41:53,920
» Well, now that we know the contract,
>> he says they got Well, the guy tells me

1152
01:41:51,040 --> 01:42:00,239
they have materials in storage for this
project. But is it their inventory that

1153
01:41:57,360 --> 01:42:05,600
they keep in order to do You know,
it's kind of like

1154
01:42:01,520 --> 01:42:09,400
» I I can't I can't answer to that.
>> It was supposed to be deliverable.

1155
01:42:10,000 --> 01:42:18,800
» Anyway, and this doesn't make a lot of
sense. It's just a simple form

1156
01:42:15,760 --> 01:42:21,360
» and all the information from what I
could tell, they should already have all

1157
01:42:20,159 --> 01:42:25,440
the information.
>> I'm with the judge on this. I think a

1158
01:42:23,280 --> 01:42:32,119
formal letter from our county attorney
might spark a little movement.

1159
01:42:28,320 --> 01:42:32,119
» Yeah, I agree.

1160
01:42:33,440 --> 01:42:36,480
» Anything else?
>> That's all I have.

1161
01:42:34,960 --> 01:42:39,600
» Commissioner
>> Commissioner,

1162
01:42:37,199 --> 01:42:45,040
» I got a few things, y'all. Um, I've been
attending the Brewster County EMS task

1163
01:42:42,239 --> 01:42:52,159
force meetings and part of the reason is
because we're working on EMS task force

1164
01:42:48,239 --> 01:42:58,400
here and it has been so informative. I
know we've talked about ESDs and all the

1165
01:42:56,000 --> 01:43:02,800
potentials that are out there. So, I
just wanted to inform the court that

1166
01:43:00,560 --> 01:43:11,440
Brewster County is going out to public
meetings. Um January 21st at the Alpine

1167
01:43:08,239 --> 01:43:16,880
Civic Center, January 26th at Soul Ross
University Center, and January 31st at

1168
01:43:14,719 --> 01:43:25,360
the Marathon Rec Center. They're all at
6 pm. So if we have any interest in

1169
01:43:20,639 --> 01:43:32,560
starting to do our homework on how do we
possibly go towards ESDs or what are

1170
01:43:29,440 --> 01:43:38,639
alternatives to how we're operating, you
know, our city um uh EMS services, I'm

1171
01:43:36,719 --> 01:43:47,119
just going to strongly recommend y'all
y'all just attend that. Then, um,

1172
01:43:43,440 --> 01:43:52,880
on January the 19th, we have a task
force meeting. As I mentioned earlier,

1173
01:43:49,840 --> 01:43:57,199
it's going to be at 3:00 here in the
jury room at the courthouse, and

1174
01:43:54,960 --> 01:44:02,480
everyone is always welcome to attend
those. We had a nice um at the last

1175
01:43:59,920 --> 01:44:08,480
meeting actually we had the city
administrator

1176
01:44:04,000 --> 01:44:14,560
Pablo Rodriguez and then uh Christian
Mononttoya who is also a city councilman

1177
01:44:11,679 --> 01:44:18,719
that that joined in. So it's a it's a
really a a good group and everyone's

1178
01:44:16,880 --> 01:44:26,239
working hard.
um February 11th through 13 if if y'all

1179
01:44:21,760 --> 01:44:32,480
are interested in water in the desert um
stuff that's being held at Soul Ross

1180
01:44:28,719 --> 01:44:39,119
University. And you know when you think
of geology, groundwater system,

1181
01:44:35,440 --> 01:44:45,119
legislative updates, water policy and
panel discussions because you know we

1182
01:44:42,719 --> 01:44:51,280
are starting we've got geothermal going
in down in Presidio. we have the

1183
01:44:47,600 --> 01:44:55,840
potential of open origin here in Marfa
and the common denominator is always

1184
01:44:53,600 --> 01:45:00,320
water. So, I'm going to be attending
that, but I just wanted to make the

1185
01:44:57,520 --> 01:45:06,320
court aware that um if you have any
interest, I strongly re uh suggest you

1186
01:45:03,679 --> 01:45:09,920
go to that. This will be my third year.
And then I just want to make sure

1187
01:45:08,080 --> 01:45:16,719
everyone's aware we have upcoming
elections. Early voting starts February

1188
01:45:13,199 --> 01:45:23,280
17th through the 27th with March which
March 3rd is election day.

1189
01:45:20,480 --> 01:45:28,560
So I strongly recommend that you know
we're all educating ourselves. There's

1190
01:45:25,600 --> 01:45:33,840
some candidates here in the room. Um and
I want to wish y'all all the best of

1191
01:45:30,320 --> 01:45:38,719
luck. Um but um I'm really excited about
the upcoming election and I just hope

1192
01:45:36,560 --> 01:45:41,600
the rest of the folks are that's all I
got. At least somebody's excited about

1193
01:45:40,400 --> 01:45:45,800
the upcoming election.
>> That's cuz I'm not campaigning.

1194
01:45:46,320 --> 01:45:51,760
Like, yeah, me and K are looking. We're
like,

1195
01:45:50,560 --> 01:45:56,800
» we ain't excited.
>> I remember.

1196
01:45:53,119 --> 01:46:03,520
» All right. So, so uh I did send you uh
an email uh and I sent I also forwarded

1197
01:46:00,239 --> 01:46:10,719
it to Ramonito Rodri. I just got this
invitation. It's a uh

1198
01:46:07,040 --> 01:46:14,880
virtual webinar via via Microsoft Teams
and it's regarding the rural ambulance

1199
01:46:12,960 --> 01:46:18,159
services grant. It's from the program
supervisor. Okay.

1200
01:46:16,239 --> 01:46:22,560
» At the controllers's office.
>> Wonderful.

1201
01:46:18,800 --> 01:46:26,560
» And you can RSVP. The meeting is January
21st.

1202
01:46:23,679 --> 01:46:31,920
» Okay. I think I in the morning.
>> So I'm I'm hope I'm hoping and she's the

1203
01:46:29,520 --> 01:46:36,159
program supervisor, so she's directing
traffic on this. So, she may be the one

1204
01:46:34,159 --> 01:46:40,800
that gets to answer it obviously.
>> Thank you so much. So, so uh I don't

1205
01:46:39,440 --> 01:46:44,480
know if I'll get in on that. I'm going
to try.

1206
01:46:42,560 --> 01:46:50,639
And then the other thing is you were
discussing uh EMS. I'll I had a meeting

1207
01:46:48,159 --> 01:46:54,480
on Sunday and let me tell you who's on
board with this thing. Well, I guess let

1208
01:46:52,400 --> 01:46:59,119
me start and I kind of I kind of teased
you all with it at the last meeting.

1209
01:46:56,800 --> 01:47:06,000
uh when the federal government passed
the CR uh there were billions of dollars

1210
01:47:02,960 --> 01:47:11,679
uh uh put into the CR for rural
healthcare and then they define it and

1211
01:47:09,360 --> 01:47:18,320
surprise surprise we meet every
definition and not only us the entire

1212
01:47:14,400 --> 01:47:25,199
far west Texas. So, we met with Judge
Jojo McKenzie uh from Hudsmith County.

1213
01:47:22,560 --> 01:47:31,440
Uh Judge Udas is on board, although he
wasn't present, but Judge Udas from um

1214
01:47:28,639 --> 01:47:37,199
Culver County. Judge Curtis Evans from
Jeff Davis County. Judge Hennington in

1215
01:47:33,840 --> 01:47:48,400
Brewster. Myself, Judge Dale Kurthers
from Carol County, Sanderson.

1216
01:47:41,920 --> 01:47:54,080
And we are um we have a a uh we're going
to we're going to try to tackle this

1217
01:47:50,560 --> 01:47:59,360
from a far west Texas effort and we're
going to try to go after about $30

1218
01:47:56,000 --> 01:48:02,480
million of this. Now the Texas the
monies have already gone from the

1219
01:48:00,639 --> 01:48:07,920
federal government to the state. The
money is now in the states it's in the

1220
01:48:05,440 --> 01:48:12,159
state's hands and they will be awarding
money. the amount that's going to be

1221
01:48:09,920 --> 01:48:18,560
distributed to Texas is about 300
million. We we suspect that with our

1222
01:48:15,600 --> 01:48:22,000
demographics, our geography,
uh, and the and the definitions that

1223
01:48:20,800 --> 01:48:26,400
we're going to have a hell of an
opportunity to go and seek about $30

1224
01:48:23,920 --> 01:48:31,520
million in funding for five years. And
we're going to do this, like I said, uh,

1225
01:48:28,880 --> 01:48:38,239
we're all going to show up to Austin and
and and push this. Um, I have yesterday

1226
01:48:35,760 --> 01:48:44,080
I spoke with uh uh Representative
Morales. He's all in. Uh, I spoke with

1227
01:48:41,600 --> 01:48:47,760
uh Senator Blanco. He's all in. They're
ready to support us. We're probably

1228
01:48:46,080 --> 01:48:53,199
going to be going out very soon and
asking for resolutions

1229
01:48:50,719 --> 01:48:58,000
um in in accordance with this from the
city of Marpa, city of Pidio, the

1230
01:48:56,080 --> 01:49:03,679
hospital district, and then of course
I'm going to ask the uh a resolution

1231
01:49:00,320 --> 01:49:06,000
from the commissioner's court. Um, can
school districts get involved in that,

1232
01:49:05,440 --> 01:49:12,400
too?
>> You know, you you bring something up

1233
01:49:08,480 --> 01:49:20,480
because I know that um that is something
they've been asking for is is access to

1234
01:49:16,639 --> 01:49:24,960
uh to rural health care, but they have
nurses, they have but I mean they don't

1235
01:49:23,119 --> 01:49:29,920
have vaccinations, they don't have they
can't do these things. So, how can we

1236
01:49:26,800 --> 01:49:34,320
better serve the schools? Uh it doesn't
hurt. I think the more resolutions we

1237
01:49:31,840 --> 01:49:40,639
have, it's gonna it's going to bring a
big spot

1238
01:49:36,000 --> 01:49:45,600
» uh on us. But um the beauty of it is in
this model and and before I come and ask

1239
01:49:43,760 --> 01:49:50,000
you for a resolution, I'm going to I'm
going to bring you a model of what this

1240
01:49:47,199 --> 01:49:54,480
looks like. But there's obviously a
central unit in the middle and it's

1241
01:49:52,480 --> 01:50:01,760
comprised of all the county judges and
then the providers. Uh and then the

1242
01:49:57,760 --> 01:50:07,840
monies will be distributed to clinics in
Sierra Blanca Van Horn uh Fort Davis

1243
01:50:05,840 --> 01:50:15,440
Balmer
Mara uh Alpine Tingua Anderson. Uh and

1244
01:50:13,040 --> 01:50:20,000
this model is going to have it's going
to be in lock step with our EMS's

1245
01:50:17,760 --> 01:50:24,960
because one thing that all these little
communities have they have an EMS and

1246
01:50:22,400 --> 01:50:29,760
they've all experience that EMS is
getting to be a bigger and bigger and

1247
01:50:26,960 --> 01:50:34,960
bigger portion of their budgets and it's
very tough on them. And so this is going

1248
01:50:31,679 --> 01:50:39,679
to be something where um the clinics
would have access to an extra set of

1249
01:50:36,560 --> 01:50:45,920
eyes and ears through a paramedic or EMT
um and then there will be funding

1250
01:50:41,920 --> 01:50:49,520
available uh and a better mechanism to
move these resources around wherever

1251
01:50:48,080 --> 01:50:51,600
they're needed.
>> So um

1252
01:50:50,639 --> 01:50:57,119
» that's exciting.
>> It's very exciting. I'm excited for it.

1253
01:50:54,400 --> 01:51:03,679
So, all I'm going to ask is just is keep
your, you know, keep u keep your minds

1254
01:51:00,159 --> 01:51:06,400
open to the idea that I think this is
good for all of us.

1255
01:51:04,880 --> 01:51:10,960
» I talked to all of them. I talked to
Judge Evans once a little while back

1256
01:51:09,360 --> 01:51:12,480
about similar things.
>> Yeah.

1257
01:51:11,840 --> 01:51:18,159
» Yeah.
>> I agree.

1258
01:51:15,360 --> 01:51:23,679
» We're the stepchild of the state and you
know, we really are.

1259
01:51:19,520 --> 01:51:27,920
» Yeah. uh have to make them look.
>> Yeah. No, and and that's what we're

1260
01:51:25,199 --> 01:51:32,159
seeing. I mean, there's rural Texas
>> and there's rural Texas war. That's it.

1261
01:51:30,400 --> 01:51:37,520
And if you got oil, you're not worried
about anything. All right. So, so again,

1262
01:51:34,639 --> 01:51:42,320
we're hoping that if we go in concerted
effort with um all these counties, rural

1263
01:51:40,480 --> 01:51:46,560
counties that meet the definition and
and it's a pilot program and it's only

1264
01:51:44,400 --> 01:51:49,679
five years. The goal should be at the
end of five years to be self-

1265
01:51:47,760 --> 01:51:54,080
sustaining. and we've already identified
two or three things where we're really

1266
01:51:51,040 --> 01:52:00,560
doing things. We're not uh there's
there's u opportunities out there for on

1267
01:51:57,840 --> 01:52:04,000
the matrix the way you charge Medicaid
or Medicare. There's mechanisms that

1268
01:52:02,639 --> 01:52:09,119
we've never even approached because
nobody knows how to do it. So, we're

1269
01:52:05,840 --> 01:52:15,840
missing out on a lot of monies. Um, so I
think this will be um, if we're able to

1270
01:52:12,639 --> 01:52:20,639
solve rural health care problems in far
west Texas, I think we can probably do a

1271
01:52:18,400 --> 01:52:22,960
great service to, uh, the greater
continental United States.

1272
01:52:22,480 --> 01:52:25,840
» Yep.
>> So,

1273
01:52:24,800 --> 01:52:29,880
um, that's it.
>> Is that your campaign speech?

1274
01:52:29,920 --> 01:52:34,639
» But, um, yeah, I mean I mean I think
it's good.

1275
01:52:33,679 --> 01:52:39,040
» Yeah, I think it's good.
>> I think it is good. Um, so I don't have

1276
01:52:37,280 --> 01:52:44,400
anything else. I'll entertain a motion.
Oh, I'm sorry. Uh, Miss Pan, do you have

1277
01:52:41,760 --> 01:52:47,760
anything? Uh, anyone else? Miss Sanchez?
>> Yes.

1278
01:52:45,119 --> 01:52:50,800
» Yeah. Uh, and Karina, do you have
anything?

1279
01:52:49,119 --> 01:52:55,760
» You know, it's all good. All right. So,
I'll entertain a motion to adjurnn.

1280
01:52:52,960 --> 01:53:01,719
» I move we adjourn.
>> All in favor? I. It's 11:53 a.m.

1281
01:53:08,560 --> 01:53:14,199
Thanks for coming.
>> Come on.

1282
01:53:23,840 --> 01:53:27,080
How are you?

1283
01:53:41,360 --> 01:53:47,280
» Right.
>> Works well.

1284
01:53:43,679 --> 01:53:53,520
» I was gonna say tracker supplies.
>> This is a Christmas gift and I hold on.

1285
01:53:50,880 --> 01:53:59,760
uncover it. I wonder if you could do
that uh that uh parental leave if you

1286
01:53:57,679 --> 01:54:03,199
can do it retroactively.
>> I'm not sure. We look into it.

1287
01:54:01,520 --> 01:54:08,080
» I know we could do to be effective
immediately, but I mean I would I would

1288
01:54:05,920 --> 01:54:12,320
I would say we look into it. Yeah.
Retroactive.

1289
01:54:09,199 --> 01:54:19,480
» Yeah. As soon as possible.
>> Yeah. Thank you. I think ours are very

1290
01:54:20,960 --> 01:54:24,960
Take it.
>> I greatly appreciate it.

1291
01:54:22,880 --> 01:54:30,080
» No, take take it from me. I'm telling
you, uh I am the proudest grandfather

» and and the same thing. I mean, uh when

Yeah, I may meet you over there.
>> Thank you.

1301
01:55:57,920 --> 01:56:02,679

I taught some kids

01:59:02,400 --> 01:59:07,560
» extremely intelligent, extremely
talented.

» Okay.
I had another

1411
02:07:29,760 --> 02:07:36,000

02:07:33,920 --> 02:07:40,239
» Oh yeah, I saw that. Yeah, I saw that.
I'll think I think it would be good.

1415
02:07:49,040 --> 02:07:55,679
» Oh, I thought you were talking about the
gentleman who

1416
02:07:53,119 --> 02:07:58,719
wanted to talk with you. So which which
one are you talking about?

1417
02:07:56,800 --> 02:08:02,960
» It's uh it's I'm trying to remember what
it is.

1418
02:08:00,719 --> 02:08:07,599
It's related to our office and the
meeting is in my hands, but I have

1419
02:08:06,159 --> 02:08:10,400
» and if you can't make it, don't worry
about it.

1420
02:08:08,239 --> 02:08:14,280
» Okay, I'll just think about just think
about it.

1421
02:08:10,639 --> 02:08:14,280
» Do you know what it's for?

1422
02:08:15,280 --> 02:08:22,560
» I know. I know. I did it for a reason.
>> And you flagged it.

1423
02:08:19,119 --> 02:08:25,560
» I Okay, I'll go look.
>> Okay.

1424
02:08:25,840 --> 02:08:33,960
» So, thank you for forwarding that. story
for good to me too. I'm ready.

1425
02:08:34,320 --> 02:08:42,320
So hopefully they'll answer all the
wives.

1426
02:08:39,599 --> 02:08:47,840
And that's I'm telling you
that they

1427
02:08:45,199 --> 02:08:51,280
they get a mandate from the from the
legislators

1428
02:08:49,360 --> 02:08:55,599
and then they give it to a bureaucrat
and then the bureaucrats. What are they

1429
02:08:53,520 --> 02:09:02,320
going to do? What are the legislators
going to do if a bureaucrat says okay in

1430
02:08:58,079 --> 02:09:07,679
my opinion it is the spirit of it is
there rap

1431
02:09:04,560 --> 02:09:12,960
but some doesn't add stuff to it
>> I

1432
02:09:10,320 --> 02:09:19,760
you know it's just really sad because um
you know I know Troy and Jesse they

1433
02:09:15,199 --> 02:09:26,880
don't want that's clear but but you know
the the task force is working really

1434
02:09:22,320 --> 02:09:33,920
well together Um, and we've got bids
that come in under the 250 for both of

1435
02:09:31,040 --> 02:09:41,520
them. So, it would we'd be able to take
care of both cities. So, who's an

1436
02:09:37,440 --> 02:09:47,840
elected official to say no, only one,
you know. So, you'll see I just heard

1437
02:09:44,880 --> 02:09:51,679
from um
No, this is Ross.

1438
02:09:50,159 --> 02:09:54,679
So,
okay.
