[13:36] number six discuss possibly approved to

[13:41] path for the unit nested the anger bill
i recommend that we pull that bid or
[13:48] reject the bids
it's come to my attention that i didn't
[13:51] have enough specificity in the bid
package
[13:55] and i have contacted
neil holland and he will he will do a
[14:00] good package for us and that way
everybody will be on the same page apple

in the bid package okay
[14:13] we're using the grant money on
itself yes sir
[14:17] we need to obligate the money for the
building right away and we can use our
[14:21] rent grant on that before the end of
this month
[14:24] and then the uh the concrete will go
next year
[14:40] i think that'll work
i i haven't got the good specs from from
[14:45] neil yeah all right so i need to wait
until i get that before we advertise
[14:50] with this
[14:53] all right
[15:06] when he gets it to us
i'll move we'll pass away
[15:12] motion forward to pass
second to mr gibson
[15:18] all those in favor
all those fathers motion passes
[15:25] number seven discuss possibly proof
permission to allow eye docket to have
[15:30] access to the district clerk's documents
images by allowing access to the county
[15:35] server they will be able to back up
documents and image
[15:39] site images offsite and make
them available to the public online at
[15:44] no cost to the county
i like that no cost to the county right
[15:50] it's always a consideration
yes this is i'm not asking for money
[15:58] but i do need commission and i'll go
with that hey this company offers many
[16:02] services but this is the one that i'm
interested in
[16:07] i have things from district attorneys
juries sheriffs
[16:18] like i mentioned i'm here for permission
[16:23] i've always wanted my documents online
for the public to view and i know we're
[16:29] really tired of covered 19
but it is a good example of a good
[16:34] reason why i do need to get my documents
and images online
[16:40] it would also give people the
opportunity
[16:43] to get this without having to drive
hours i know we have land men that have
[16:47] to do a lot of driving to get to come
here because i don't
[16:50] i don't offer that i always tell them
i'm working on it so now i'm really
[16:54] really working on it
i
[16:56] one of the most important things for me
is that the the images and my documents
[17:01] will be backed up off-site
it won't we will still continue to do
[17:05] what we do here
at the county but my documents and
[17:09] images will be backed up in amarillo
so something tragic happened here
[17:14] which i know there have been
times when the county did lose all their
[17:19] other information they did use eye
docket to pull all that information back
[17:23] and they were up and running so that is
something i've been wanting to do for a
[17:28] long time
i um we would be receiving income from
[17:32] subscriptions and copywork
so just like people come in the office
[17:36] now to get copies they could do that
online we get exactly
[17:40] uh what we pl uh what we get now if
someone were to come in the office the
[17:44] same as online it's not like they're
getting a cut out of it they will get
[17:47] you know their part in addition to but
they provide subscriptions for
[17:52] individuals attorneys and things like
that to access this
[17:56] i
i'm really asking for permission to be
[17:59] the authorized representative to execute
the contract
[18:03] and again just know this is free to the
county this this
[18:08] is not going to cost us anything we give
them a one-time access they
[18:13] do
they get all the information then daily
[18:16] they will retrieve it and back it up
offsite
[18:20] i have asked other clerks because i have
been thinking about it for a long time
[18:23] so i've talked to them and they
they love it they don't have to worry
[18:27] about it they just received the income
from it
[18:30] and
their their
[18:33] thing was there's no reason not to
because they receive the income and
[18:37] their information is backed up outside
um i dock it they've been in business
[18:41] for over 20 years and of the 254
counties they already have 136 that use
[18:47] this pro this right here that i'm
presenting
[18:50] again i have richard luna with me here
today from eye docket
[18:54] and if you have any other questions
about the company itself he can help you
[18:58] with that
and like i said they offer a lot but i'm
[19:01] just this is what benefit me
answer richard
[19:06] let me go ahead and just
hand out a couple more
[19:10] little uh
just information regarding our
[19:14] company
and the sheet that i have on there is
[19:17] just an example of the counties that are
using our services
[19:22] uh the ones in their local spreadsheet
are the ones that are in your area that
[19:25] are using their services
and so
[19:28] you can just go ahead and open up the
brochure and you open up the brochure
[19:32] you'll see that
[19:35] you'll see that
we do have
[19:40] county-wide software
designed for
[19:44] the judges the district attorneys county
clerks district clerks treasurer's
[19:48] auditor sheriff's office so we have
as part of our portfolio we have
[19:52] county-wide software designed for every
office in the county plus the service
[19:57] that we're that uh
terry is talking about where she's gonna
[20:01] be putting her index records and images
online at no cost and so the part that
[20:06] she kind of mentioned about
this is really better than free because
[20:10] we have a revenue sharing plan where the
clerks will be receiving 20 of the
[20:14] subscriptions from the lawyers the title
companies background companies the
[20:18] subscribers that subscribe to this
service to access these records
[20:23] they're going to get the clerk is going
to get 20 of that so over the last four
[20:27] years we've given 150 000 back to the
counties as part of this revenue sharing
[20:32] plan so it's really better than free
because
[20:34] the actual service is free to the clerks
plus they'll be getting a little
[20:39] money generating uh for this program
also
[20:43] one other thing i forgot to mention is
that
[20:46] some other counties that use our net
data software and our docket together we
[20:50] have we have cherokee county macadoches
county hopkins
[20:55] coleman polk titus and young for some of
those that
[20:59] like to use the software that we have
plus
[21:02] as a bonus hotdog gets imaging access
so we do i'm sorry we currently request
[21:09] the only question i have would be from a
security standpoint what
[21:16] well it's it's very secure we have uh
ftp
[21:20] security in place we've been doing this
for 20 years we have 136 counties
[21:25] already using our service so it's very
secure as far as
[21:30] like terry was saying information would
say
[21:33] so every every night the indexes get uh
get get uploaded so anything that's done
[21:39] today any updates
cases that are sealed or whatever
[21:42] overnight it gets updated the index are
created and so the next day it's going
[21:46] to reflect those changes
so every day it's going to be up-to-date
[21:51] right so
uh it can be used as a backup service
[21:55] in case something happens to the court
clerks it's going to be an off-site
[21:59] resource that you can
have that information
[22:02] and we'll have it stored in a secure
place
[22:06] just
[Music]
[22:10] we have we have the hardware
already
[22:13] that we can use that will allow them
to create a session to go to to pull
[22:19] from the server
terry's documents that her office
[22:24] generates
and it's not actually the full document
[22:28] it's a as it was explained to me it's
more of a bit type of transfer
[22:33] to where uh
things that's going to be available to
[22:37] the public it's not going to be
full-blown personal information you're
[22:41] not going to be able to go online and
see someone's social security number and
[22:45] that type of thing so yeah we're not
just in my head thank you for being
[22:49] hacked and information being changed
yes
[22:54] so as far as the images you know social
security's all of them will be redacted
[22:58] so that the clerk will not have to worry
about that their access will be
[23:02] monitored
because they'll have to use a machine in
[23:05] my office
to get
[23:07] to have a session
but if we were to get hacked here they
[23:11] would have that
off you know away from here that would
[23:15] help us
and we still do our backups here
[23:19] something tragic tragic happened but you
could explain the facilities where they
[23:24] were so what's in a co-op that has major
well lots of other companies that are in
[23:29] a secure place if everything's gated all
their main frames and computers are
[23:32] behind locked doors and lock dates and
stuff like that so isn't it
[23:36] it's in a secure place
[23:40] in amarillo
[23:44] do you each have a copy of the
contractor
[23:47] it was
presented
[24:02] and it's just that one page on the front
that's the way the process works let's
[24:07] just say it gets approved then we're
going to put terry in the test mode
[24:12] and what that means is that we're now
i'm going to send her a checklist for
[24:15] all these items that she has to go to
make sure the history is correct between
[24:18] her case management system and i dock it
the case the history the litigants the
[24:23] information that's on there so it's a
bunch of like 10 or 11 items that she
[24:27] has to go through to make sure that both
systems are in sync
[24:30] some counties take a week to go through
this test mode to make sure everything's
[24:34] fine some take a month it just depends
on the county itself whether how
[24:38] dedicated she is into going through this
test mode but that's the way it's not
[24:42] going to go live until she says it's
it's uh it's good to go
[24:47] and how and how often do you make
payment on that 20 percent every month
[24:52] at the end of every month
deposit or yes it checked recording it's
[24:56] direct deposit we
you're okay with that we received um
[25:03] two or three other type of
payments that we will
[25:06] no longer check so
absolutely
[25:11] an american owned yes based out of
amarillo but yes sir
[25:16] texas-based
[25:37] any other discussion
all those in favor
[25:53] all right discuss possibly approve an
interlocal agreement between smith
[25:57] county and russ county to operate a
multi-agency task force funded in part
[26:02] by a motor vehicle crime prevention
authority of the state of texas
[26:08] grant for funding in the amount of 523
thousand 208 dollars for the east texas
[26:14] task force sheriff how are you good
morning
[26:17] this is just the
agreement between us and smith canada to
[26:21] be part of the task force that 500 000
is what's provided by the states that
[26:25] that's not what we have to provide
who's our officer on this
[26:29] leg over
[26:38] hello everybody
[26:41] i think about 20 something here
i can remember daryl norris was in it
[26:46] and uh
there were two or three others before
[26:49] him that were in it
[26:58] i believe so i've sent
rebecca the last stuff that i got from
[27:04] them over and tyler on it
they're facing the same deal we're
[27:09] facing our budgetary and everything else
[27:23] yeah they're recovering stuff around
here quite a bit well they're recovering
[27:27] stuff from here in other places
and they recover a lot of stuff here
[27:31] that's coming from other places
[27:36] i'll make a motion for approval
that's it
[27:39] motion from mr whitworth second mr hale
all those in favor
[27:45] i was supposed
motion passes
[27:50] disgust possibly declare a surplus from
the russian county sheriff's office
[27:55] following the closure
[28:00] this was i actually had rebecca and
angela come over and do it on it because
[28:04] we had a lot of stuff we needed to clean
up
[28:06] from the auditor's office and we
found quite a few items that we need to
[28:11] get rid of
[28:14] and that's what this is and i'm going to
be coming to you with another list
[28:17] probably in the next month for a bunch
of vehicles and stuff that we're going
[28:21] to declare so we're going to get rid of
them
[28:24] so i've got another option if y'all have
anything that you need to put in one so
[28:28] you don't think any of those things like
the camera and dvr console system then
[28:31] it still can be reused
some of that cannot some of that dvr
[28:36] stuff is uh
the old stuff that was originally in the
[28:40] jail when it was built and it hit
it's gone south it no longer operates
[28:46] they had to replace all that okay
well when we originally built the jail
[28:52] this was the original equipment that was
in there
[28:55] 15 years
ago that has gone since gone out and
[28:59] we've had to replace it we've just it's
just been sitting in the corner
[29:02] collecting dust
what about the laptops
[29:07] the laptops we got under um
they're just we've upgraded them as much
[29:13] as we could over it when we just can't
take them
[29:16] no good can't find parts for them
[29:34] any other questions for the share
[29:53] 10 discuss possibly approve russ county
role in the upcoming 2020 sarah festival
[30:02] anybody want to speak on that
[30:06] there's
[Music]
[30:11] well i'll give you a brief update of
what it looks like as far as coping
[30:25] sir
[30:42] on that front page
i've broken out
[30:45] in two week interviews since
we got our first case in russ county
[30:50] which was march the 16th
how many cases we've got in two weeks
[30:56] as you can see july 14th through the
28th was our highest in 115 cases
[31:03] two weeks following that
we dropped down to 60
[31:08] and in the previous past week we're at
22. so we have a total of 363
[31:14] positive cases in russ county
[31:20] on the next page if you just look at
russ counties where we have 366 for 363
[31:26] positive cases
we do have 312
[31:29] recoveries
we picked up our third fatality
[31:33] overnight or a night before last
so we now have three fatalities
[31:39] it gives us 48 active cases
in the county
[31:45] and we have 18 additional cases that are
at
[31:49] east texas treatment center
ettf
[31:54] correctional facility
[31:59] looking at the grass
[32:04] two graphs there show you the uh
total number per day for the state of
[32:09] texas and for rust county
we picked up a seven additional cases
[32:14] last night
[32:18] and it was that because of some kind of
special testing somewhere or was it just
[32:22] people who came in no
we have not had any testing in rust
[32:25] county for a month
other than people just going to get
[32:29] because they're not feeling about it
hospital is doing testing
[32:34] pcr testing at their uh
[32:39] pulmonary
clinic or respiratory clinic excuse me
[32:44] uh the urgent care facility down 79 is
doing testing
[32:49] and i believe cbs has started doing
testing states had a little problem
[32:53] they've been
miscoding their tests
[32:57] it doesn't seem to affect rust county a
whole lot yet
[33:02] so
but just to have
[33:05] public testing we have not been having
that
[33:08] on the last page uh you'll see
once again the graph shows you the total
[33:13] debts per day
in the state of texas
[33:18] but the bottom two
and i'll give credit to mr chanel for
[33:23] this he taught me how to do these
bottom one is a donut graph
[33:29] shows you uh
the
[33:32] 356 cases that i didn't get yesterday's
in on this
[33:36] and how they're broken down into age
categories
[33:41] kind of interesting to look at 0 to 19
is 13 of all of our cases
[33:50] the 20 to 39 is 23
[33:54] ages 49 to 59
is 34
[33:59] ages 60 to 79
to 26
[34:05] and then two percent of our cases are 80
and above
[34:09] and we did have nine cases that we never
got an age on so that's the uh
[34:14] unknown and that's a 2 2
but if you look at the last two weeks
[34:21] that zero to 19 jumped from 13 to 24
[34:27] the 20 to 39 remained at 23
the 40 to 59
[34:34] fell to 30 percent
the 60 and 79 fell to 21
[34:41] i don't think this is unexpected
uh yesterday was two weeks since
[34:46] henderson school schools often
and so we're looking to have an increase
[34:51] in younger people
uh coming being tested and i believe the
[34:56] high school well at the high school
let's say henderson isd i believe
[35:00] they've had at least four maybe five
students that they've uh
[35:05] that have come to be positive
other schools open this week
[35:11] and tatum will open
next week
[35:17] all school districts i think should be
open by the end of next week
[35:23] so that's what it looks like you know
statewide the numbers are falling
[35:29] testing is falling too unfortunately
uh
[35:34] but we're looking at the possibility of
uh
[35:37] you know seeing a little bit of a bump
hopefully it's not going to be a giant
[35:41] leak
when all the schools get open
[35:46] james on day 135 136 137 was that when
it reopened the state or was it some
[35:53] other occasion
that marked that speed jumped in the
[35:56] state and in wisconsin
day 135
[36:02] that's our highest date
that was uh
[36:08] let's see
[36:11] about
not quite two weeks after the fourth of
[36:14] july
[36:17] uh
that we were concerned about that
[36:21] say it was uh we had a lot of
activities going on i think even in russ
[36:26] county uh
we had several
[36:29] the city and lake striker canceled their
fourth of july
[36:35] fireworks
but those were
[36:38] that is in correlation
about two weeks after the fourth of july
[36:50] overall it looks like it's getting
better so overall right now you know
[36:54] when this first started back in march
and april there was a lot of talk about
[36:58] well when the summer come
because we tried to compare it to the
[37:02] fluid
what we see with the flu
[37:05] virus
is that when the summer time comes it
[37:08] falls off
when
[37:11] when the winter time or the cooler
season comes and starts picking up like
[37:15] we'll start doing vaccinations with flu
next month
[37:20] and
october november will be big flu month
[37:25] so but uh this
did not seem to follow that because it
[37:30] really got high and as the temperature
started to rise i don't know if you can
[37:35] correlate that or not but
there's a lot of things about this virus
[37:40] we still don't know
[37:45] as we get to november
it's kind of a
[37:50] a guess of what the number is going to
look like
[37:53] but the buyers are still going to be
here
[37:56] i don't think we'll have a vaccine
i think we'll probably get one close
[38:03] to the end of the year but it'll take
some time for it to
[38:07] get down
where
[38:09] we'll be giving it out
to the public
[38:16] any other question
we appreciate everything you've done
[38:20] stay on top of it
well
[38:23] all i do is report what
i report the facts
[38:30] what's your opinion of surplus
there you go my personal opinion
[38:38] i would hesitate to do it even though
the numbers are falling right now
[38:42] we'll have school going
we'll have food coming on
[38:47] uh
and we're gonna have a back seat and
[38:50] there's no one there's no one
there's no way there's no social
[38:54] difference right
that's right
[38:58] if you do do it we certainly need to do
a uh
[39:02] come out with some kind of a statement
of requiring face masks i know we don't
[39:06] want to mandate that
but it has been proven uh
[39:11] medically that they do
the face mask does love
[39:15] the spread of it
so i mean just as as community leaders
[39:21] we need to be
encouraging folks
[39:25] to wear face masks whenever they're not
in an area where they can social
[39:29] distance
they need to do the social distancing
[39:33] and then also do good hand washing high
chairs
[39:39] thank you sir
[39:52] people that i've talked to and respect
don't think we can put it on
[39:58] safely
[40:02] and
you know
[40:05] that's the guidance we've gotten from
james and
[40:09] i want to follow his lead
[40:14] thinking you have any input
[40:20] i've come to realize that true there's
no safety
[40:25] you can't have it safely
but on the other hand
[40:29] i want to have it you know so you got to
go with the safety
[40:36] issues and uh
[40:41] that's really all i have to say
[40:48] i might beat you i would like to have it
too i certainly would but one of the
[40:52] biggest concerns i have is us doing
everything we possibly can to keep these
[40:56] schools open
that's a huge thing to me right there's
[41:00] been able to do that
[41:05] it's a hard decision you don't have to
make not to have a surf festival
[41:08] something that
people enjoy so much and
[41:13] brings a lot of money to the downtown
and all
[41:17] i would like to
hopefully we can finally get all this
[41:20] behind us and uh
hopefully have it next year
[41:25] that's
that's my opinion on it
[41:29] georgia we're supposed to meet with the
city
[41:32] um
[41:43] i would say
let me pass on it today and
[42:00] that's my personal
since it is a joint venture between the
[42:04] county and the city
[42:09] unlike judge i also feel like they're
waiting on someone else to make a
[42:12] decision as well as
sitting in those meetings with him
[42:17] um
you know you have to consider the older
[42:20] people that come to this event you've
got to consider the kids that come to
[42:24] this event
you've got to consider
[42:28] the volunteers that come and help to
take the money put the vans on even if
[42:32] you didn't put bands on you'd still have
to stamp or do something there's contact
[42:36] um
you know it's one year it's one year
[42:40] that we don't want to risk
um the people in russ county getting
[42:45] sick this is some kind of event that
we're putting on
[42:48] and we've seen a jump after every
event that's gone on
[42:52] and this is a huge one it's not three
thousand thousand people or three
[42:56] thousand people we're talking about a
whole lot more than that
[42:59] so you know somebody has to make a
decision
[43:02] and everywhere yes
they come from here you know so
[43:06] you know it's it's
the risk like i said the depot is older
[43:10] people they enjoy going and seeing the
sugar cane and the stuff and all that
[43:15] but
man is it worth it you know and mask is
[43:20] it's
about mask when it's hot you can't
[43:23] you almost can't breathe it becomes a
health hazard
[43:26] to some people
you know in the heat you don't know if
[43:29] it's going to be hot you don't know if
it's going to be cold
[43:31] you know so
you know and and like you said viki
[43:35] number one wants to happen i i
understand why
[43:39] but common sense kicks in somewhere and
says you know yeah we can't protect
[43:44] people she said it herself
and i know she wants to have it more
[43:47] than anybody else but does anybody want
me anybody here won't be responsible for
[43:51] what might happen
to me it would be a bad decision to have
[43:55] it but that's my also my opinion so
um
[43:59] we just i'm not sure it's worth taking
that chance
[44:02] and somebody has to step up so
[44:07] i would make a motion that we send a
recommendation
[44:10] through this court that we do not have
the surf festival this year
[44:16] we make it as a recommendation to the
city or anybody else has anything to do
[44:20] that the festival not take place
[44:28] liz y'all have a pay ride
and generate some funds for 4-h through
[44:36] it
[44:39] we're not sure how we would central
distance on the hayride if we told the
[44:43] city we don't think we could be a part
of it this year
[44:48] those those lines
at the depot and downtown can stretch a
[44:53] long ways without social distancing so
i think you could probably stretch that
[44:59] line around the whole depot
if you did social distance i just don't
[45:03] uh
there's not a feasible way that i think
[45:06] we can have a
payroll shuttle socially distanced
[45:11] so
[45:15] well i agree with everybody and i i want
to have it too and i think
[45:20] it brings a lot of people a lot of food
vendors that depend on this thing a lot
[45:24] of people
interested
[45:30] i'm under the assumption too i just
think there's too much liability
[45:36] this time
because i would i would be the one that
[45:40] hated something
that break out in russ county
[45:52] enjoyed by everybody
but
[45:56] i would mr hale i think it was a big
on it for this year
[46:02] that's one of those decisions
i have to make that i don't like making
[46:07] but i think it's best for our community
[46:12] not my own opinion
[46:24] problem i have the recommendation
is the fact that
[46:30] the county runs the deal down to depot
[46:35] so what does the recommendation say do
we not have it i mean if the city has
[46:39] theirs we can go ahead and have it at
the depot
[46:44] so i think we make a decision as far as
our our room in the surf festival is
[46:49] we're not having him at the depot i
think we have to make that decision
[46:52] vicki i would like a decision because i
have phone calls every day
[46:57] and it's major for them to know
well number one my game man
[47:04] uh do i need you know
so
[47:08] i would like a decision i understand
making a decision my my input on it was
[47:14] if we've already organized and scheduled
a meeting with the city
[47:19] to discuss it
[47:23] and
i mean if we call if we pull a road
[47:27] right now
we've had that meeting with the city
[47:31] this was just kind of
after another meeting with the city to
[47:36] see what the changes were or what
happened after school started
[47:41] that was what the next meet the this
coming meeting was going to be about the
[47:45] changes after school started and what
the impact was with that we've already
[47:50] had the initial meeting um this is just
that follow-up to
[47:54] see what the changes were and that's all
it is yes you know i really think
[48:01] the reason they wanted to schedule
another meeting is they didn't want to
[48:04] make the decision that day
right and i understand that
[48:09] guantanamo emotion men to say that the
county uh recommended the county
[48:15] uh cancel their part of the surf
festival and highly recommend the
[48:19] surface itself we canceled
until 2021 yep
[48:25] and reconsidered it that day
[48:29] one thing
if it all goes through we cancel
[48:33] i suggest that we
it's still going to be the 32nd
[48:39] next year
because we didn't have one this year so
[48:43] we're going to say that next year's is
going to be the
[48:46] 32nd is that
okay with everybody i just want to be on
[48:51] the same page
that next year's will be the 32nd annual
[48:55] surplus
i've been thinking about not turning 70
[48:58] this year
[49:13] we have a motion
second second from mr carpentile any
[49:19] other discussion
all those in favor aye all those opposed
[49:27] all
right well you've already given us an
[49:31] update mr pacquiao
[49:35] you can say they're
testing in the hospital
[49:43] judge hale
myself miss bakers
[49:48] oh and mark whitman
with the hospital met
[49:53] to discuss testing
in the county
[49:57] as i stated earlier very little
testing's going on
[50:01] you might remember that tdem was
bringing in
[50:05] military teams to do testing we did some
drive-through testing and
[50:09] mount enterprise over at first baptist
and down at tatum and then we did some
[50:16] walk-in testing at carlisle
and overton
[50:22] they fooled those military teams out
mainly because
[50:28] we saw hospitalization starting to shoot
up and still pretty high
[50:33] and the governor pulled those teams and
put them down in the valley and along
[50:38] the coast in hospitals that were being
stressed at the time
[50:44] and so the only free testing that we had
walk-up type testing was in highway long
[50:50] view and i no longer use
closed captioning not
[50:58] [Music]
[51:07] public if you available insurance
doesn't cost anything
[51:11] uh
but we were looking at maybe
[51:14] if the hospital could start doing the
antigen testing which is the quick test
[51:19] it'll let you know if you're positive
within a couple of hours
[51:25] so we we met with mark
he thought
[51:29] that we probably would be able to work
out something
[51:32] uh they hadn't been able to get it
approved by their home agency yet
[51:38] i have not heard from him you know as
far as if there was any cost or anything
[51:43] to that
so
[51:46] i really don't have a whole lot to
report other than we're still trying to
[51:49] work
to come up with a way that we can
[51:53] allow people especially people in our
community that
[51:58] don't have insurance
or can't afford to go get testing
[52:03] you can get the antigen test at the
quick care facility down here on 79 i
[52:09] believe it's 75
[52:12] and i
think i've heard cbs is doing testing
[52:16] now i think and i don't know if they're
i'm sure there's a cost to it i'm not
[52:21] sure
i'm sure that there is i'm not sure
[52:24] that's good east texas dog yeah
[52:40] okay very
when we first started out
[52:44] we all had to be confirmed
they had people calling
[52:48] you're not feeling i mean you don't have
any symptoms it's been 10 days nobody in
[52:53] the house
they did that until they got so many
[52:56] cases not so much in russ county but
throughout east texas and the state
[53:01] they just didn't have enough people so
they went to a
[53:07] radius gas list i don't know the word
[53:12] a mathematical formula
they put out
[53:17] so 80 of everybody that's over two weeks
uh from their positive test date is
[53:23] considered recovered
[53:27] if you're over
you know the other 20
[53:31] they're figuring they're in the hospital
or they're having other
[53:35] well they have some mathematical formula
now
[53:39] to come up so
my question on these tests
[53:45] okay
you say that if you didn't have
[53:48] insurance it cost 75
you don't have any insurance i'm not
[53:53] sure about the pcr i'm thinking so which
i think the federal government is
[53:57] picking that up
but which is a good test which is the
[54:01] good test
the pcr is the standard
[54:07] it's the one that
[54:11] it's the test and it's 75
no
[54:14] insurance pays for that
the pc the antigen test which is the
[54:21] quick
which test
[54:23] tell you whether you're positive in a
couple of hours
[54:28] is a fairly good test
because if you're positive you're
[54:32] positive
on that test but if you're negative
[54:36] they're not sure that you're negative
because you may have a
[54:40] you may not have enough
of the virus in you
[54:44] right then
to show positive it's not as sensitive
[54:49] in the
third test is the antibody test
[54:54] and all that does is tell you that you
have antibodies in your system it
[54:58] doesn't tell you if you're positive or
negative
[55:01] our insurance is supposed to pay for any
test
[55:06] that you have
but the uh
[55:09] like this urgent care down here what
they do is they want you to pay up front
[55:15] and then
file on your insurance
[55:18] to get your money back so it depends on
the
[55:23] local provider whether they want to
right
[55:27] file and get paid by the insurance
company or they want you to pay for it
[55:31] and get your money back but a lot of
times
[55:34] if you pay it's cheaper than going
through the insurance
[55:40] surgeries or any other thing people pay
up front it's a whole lot cheaper here
[55:45] going through your insurance and getting
all that money my question is is
[55:51] that best test
how much will it cost if a man pays
[55:56] to have that test done
[56:00] what i've read
[56:04] it's costing them
somewhere around a thousand dollars
[56:07] to get that test
but the insurance are paid for
[56:13] if you have insurance and i believe i'm
correct if i don't have insurance
[56:20] they will
the federal government picks it up
[56:25] i don't think there's a cost to it i
couldn't get the hospital tell me yes or
[56:30] no on that
i don't think there is
[56:35] the problem is
the tests are limited
[56:40] they're few in supply
[56:43] so they don't they can only do so many
chats and then they're
[56:47] even the hospitals having
trouble getting some back
[56:50] i think when i talked to them last week
they had 60.
[56:54] and of course they're seeing
six to ten a day so they got enough you
[56:59] know that
but if we
[57:02] you know
wanted to do it like we did the walk-ups
[57:07] and we had three hundred today
what i'm wondering is
[57:12] is if we use that money
at these school districts the kids are
[57:17] testing them whatever is to go and give
them a test right then to where they
[57:22] know in these school systems know
immediately
[57:26] what's happening
well and that that would be your
[57:30] quick test
which is what we're trying to hopefully
[57:33] get the hospital
you know that they're going to be able
[57:36] to start doing which is not terribly
accurate it's accurate if you're
[57:41] positive
it's not so so accurate if you're new
[57:45] you know
so i know it's very confusing
[57:50] none of us have been through this before
well what's also uh i guess you're so
[57:54] confused is that i've heard stories of
people that have stood in line for hours
[57:58] to get tested and then walked off and
then a couple days later received a
[58:03] positive test in the mail when they
never got tested that makes you i've had
[58:07] too much confidence in our testing
system
[58:10] if that's true it's true i don't
i couldn't speak to that i don't know
[58:17] i just know what's happened in russia
[58:22] i mentioned it last time i'm not in
favor of us
[58:26] as a county fan
protester i just i don't see that
[58:32] uh i've not heard of a great need out in
the community of people saying well i
[58:36] i'm sick but i can't afford to go be
tested you know
[58:40] i'm not hearing that
and
[58:42] i i don't feel like some of the best
that we've discussed are necessarily
[58:48] reliable
from that standpoint either
[58:52] i know that we have some some cares
money that we can spend there's a lot of
[58:56] limitations and things on that
[59:00] i'd like to continue to research and see
what we could do that would be
[59:03] beneficial to our community but i just
don't see testing
[59:06] us paying for testing is going to be one
of them i think one of the bigger
[59:10] problems that we've had with this whole
deal is that
[59:14] kobe related
things in hospitals and things
[59:18] are getting extra money and so i think
it drives more to it but that's my
[59:23] personal opinion
[59:27] of myself
[59:37] this cares money we have to spend three
quarters of it
[59:41] on a health issue true
so we need to come up with a health
[59:44] issue before you can spend anything
right
[59:48] to help
outside
[59:51] schools yeah
[59:57] thank you mr pike you're welcome
[1:00:08] number 12. thank you
discuss positive approving reappointment
[1:00:12] of brian batkey who represents
appreciate one on the russ county esd
[1:00:16] board
brian's done a good job and he is
[1:00:19] willing to serve another term and so i
recommend him for real point
[1:00:25] so post chris hale second mister
all those in favor
[1:00:29] of those others
thirteen discussed possibly through the
[1:00:34] following july reports county justice
three and four
[1:00:55] motion passes
number 14
[1:00:58] of the comment no action be taken
i would like to introduce our
[1:01:03] our new commissioner elect and precinct
one randy gault is here with us today
[1:01:08] some of you probably already met him
some of you may not have
[1:01:11] uh uh
brandon brandon yeah
[1:01:15] i think randy's gonna do a great job
he's a good guy easy to talk to easy
[1:01:19] going got a good head on him i think
he'll do a good job as your new russ
[1:01:23] county president one commissioner comes
january 1st and everybody is calling him
[1:01:27] he's making sure they know it's january
1st
[1:01:31] and not now
[1:01:35] you better know
[1:01:53] [Music]
[1:02:04] one of our personnel
and they're going to start testing
[1:02:09] tomorrow isn't that correct that's
correct
[1:02:11] yeah we put in a starter request and
there's a check this morning and they
[1:02:16] will start doing the testing tomorrow
they've got
[1:02:19] nine
uh
[1:02:22] employees and
four residents i believe what tests will
[1:02:27] they use
probably gonna use that pcr
[1:02:32] government's paying for that yeah
[1:02:40] of course you know the
hhs has said
[1:02:45] long-term care in nursing home
facilities can start opening up for
[1:02:49] visitors
but they have to have a two-week period
[1:02:52] with no
no cases or anything prior to opening up
[1:02:56] and then they will also have to start
doing testing
[1:03:01] i think weekly
in there so
[1:03:05] they will probably be looking at doing
the antigen test and then if they're
[1:03:09] negative do a uh a follow up or
something
[1:03:13] is
[1:03:17] i haven't heard it yet because governor
says he wants those tests to be done in
[1:03:21] the nursing home so i'm not sure how
that's going to come down
[1:03:28] one of my former employees retired now
his wife had a massive stroke uh last
[1:03:34] week she's only been given a few days to
live it affected her swallowing and her
[1:03:39] speech and she can't communicate at all

[1:03:44] name is mike kraske he worked for the
john deere place for a long time was we
[1:03:48] came for them came to work in precinct

christopher jefferson
[1:04:12] we'll catch the gentleman over there
from the eye docking company because
[1:04:15] we've been looking forever for uh
something that would help us with the
[1:04:18] discovery to share with the lawyers and
we've
[1:04:22] met with a lot of them and
not been successful in anything and if
[1:04:25] we could find something that would uh
you know tailor into what they're
[1:04:28] already doing and be nice and i see him
shaking his head that's a good sign so
[1:04:32] i'll catch him
other than that i i will tell you on the
[1:04:36] urgent care thing
zach went down there and paid the 75
[1:04:40] and got the result back and then went
down there uh later on from the office
[1:04:44] and they just want to charge her 90
and then they filed on the insurance so
[1:04:48] it would seem to be going up and uh
and i i'll get off i
[1:04:58] a good answer on any of it it's a
complicated deal trust mr price
