[0:55] Next item is the uh discuss and consider renewal license application submitted by

[1:06] had an opportunity to review the material, um. Mr. Wilson, can you advise regarding
[1:12] this particular package? Uh, uh, as I understand, all outstanding judgments have
[1:16] been paid. There's no, uh, suspensions currently in place, and so there's no issues
[1:23] with, uh, moving forward with renewing the bond for the, the, uh, the renewal application
[1:30] at this time. All right, any discussion regarding this issue at this time? See no
[1:36] discussion. I have a motion to approve. I'll make a motion. I have a 2nd. 21 2nd.

[1:59] year and I have a certificate uh to give to, uh, Graves when we're finished with
[2:06] our meeting, OK? Now, There are, and there are a couple of, there's another thing
[2:12] I will want to get into in just a second, but, um. Just discuss and consider and
[2:18] taking any action if necessary on licenses who have been given notice that they are
[2:22] not in compliance. Are there any such licenses not in compliance? We have one that's
[2:27] not in compliance, but. parts Uh, anything else we need to do on that unless they're,
[2:35] get that, Anything else we need to. As long as they get it in by today,
[2:41] Any other, uh, That's the only issued, is that one license? Yes. All right. Thank
[2:46] you. Um, now, The next item is announcements, no action or future agenda items. I
[2:52] know that um um there's going to be some changes coming up, significant changes in
[2:57] honesty coming up, and I think that uh regarding that process and Mr. Best, um, would
[3:04] you like to discuss that or whoever you'd like to have discussed that? I brought
[3:08] my team here so I thought. Uh, so I wanted to talk about. upgrade a biopsy on
[3:15] August. Get very modestly.
[3:22] That product uh.
[3:26] Question why do we why do we care? Why don't we. know about Uh,
[3:34] for probably the entire,
[3:36] So we're working with the sheriff's office.
[3:41] My best here we're gonna, we're gonna try to address. Yeah You.
[3:47] Uh, Yvonne works, uh, it'll still be working but it doesn't have any information.
[3:56] and once they've done the final roster at last.
[4:01] And that's the way
[4:06] Present to the body. at one a.m. in the morning.
[4:14] That's no start again obviously parking I not there's no uh there's no Odyssey access
[4:20] for.
[4:23] Uh, from one a.m. in the morning probably until, Uh, that's the timeframe that we've
[4:30] got to get the system back. Operation our first story is this real operation. That
[4:36] that was the number one the courts know.
[4:42] Uh, but And you're walking through this.
[4:48] What one has to type. Oh Uh, that's one of the things that I have seen.
[4:56] Do you understand that
[5:01] people have impact to make phone calls. Fill out forms, we're gonna help provide
[5:07] a fillable form for you to like. out to see if you have
[5:17] This is no bond more than 7, so, so basically. You either come to the jail or call
[5:24] the jail. You a copy. And just take out.
[5:34] Um
[5:36] Pro. In in AF and very fun. started Um, from
[5:43] the large lo new project. It's just no process, so we'll get. I think Don had an
[5:49] alternative solution to this, and that was to issue a moratorium for all criminal
[5:57] activity in Smith County for that day. I mean, I, I don't know if we can help with
[6:01] that, so.
[6:06] No, we're not saying that other solutions, but anyway, no, that, that wasn't really.
[6:15] But, uh, I think there's a couple of things we need to consider, uh, and we, we will
[6:19] definitely send a communication out to all the bondsmen. I think that's one of the
[6:23] things part of our communication plan, uh.
[6:27] I know this is Thursday.
[6:30] Very
[6:33] I only imagine that a lot of departments that can including this uh. With her department,
[6:39] a lot of departments are affected by this, uh, by this. So Uh,
[6:47] The part, but the bond itself properly on paper would probably have to be put back.
[6:54] So, so we can think of that you find I, I was expecting to see the folks. We, uh,
[7:00] or, or every month, but, uh,
[7:05] they are part of our Zbo and so they've been working with. presenting This is a cloud
[7:11] solution.
[7:16] Not local
[7:19] So I would say uh Mr. Rawlings, if you can maybe get us in contact with the,
[7:27] uh, the local defense bar, uh, the head, who, whoever is now the president. Of that,
[7:34] uh, I can't remember the organization, uh, yeah, Matt Mill Slagle, and then also
[7:39] we'll reach out to the, uh, Smith County Bar Association and let them know that,
[7:44] hey, this is coming so that everybody is, everybody, all the stakeholders have an,
[7:49] uh, understanding what's gonna happen on August 13th, so yes sir.
[8:02] I
[8:07] OK.
[8:12] It's not, it's not the case, you know.
[8:16] You don't.
[8:19] We'll do that.
[8:22] Because it's a little bit harder to do a run pass.
[8:27] It was,
[8:30] They just brought this together and kind of map out what how that approach, you know
[8:34] what else.
[8:38] more
[8:42] We might have the same philosophy or all problem.
[8:50] Fill it out.
[9:05] I think
[9:11] I
[9:13] don't have any. I was tap out. He told me that when the talks. do the patent money.
[9:23] Good day. That way, that way we get your receipt and you can keep track there it
[9:28] comes right here.
[9:34] You know, the front desk closes at 5 p.m., but, well, there's no one at the front
[9:39] desk there's a number to call. It's hard to come up. We just has not come up.
[9:45] Make sure you have the phone numbers and all the things. You A long time.
[9:53] You know, certainly if you did make me
[9:58] talking Mhm What I'll do since, This way might be doing that.
[10:08] So, Mr. Bell, who's going to be responsible for the communication and can, on that
[10:12] communication, we ask for a response to make sure that they actually see the message
[10:19] communicating all this, knowing that they got it. So, so that's gonna be, uh, with,
[10:24] with the bonds probably come from my office and I have uh Jason here with us. He's
[10:29] our the office of the County we're working as part of a communication plan together
[10:33] for the broader for everybody we've got the.
[10:37] When you call in to cancel the port. So there'll be a lot of the impact. Uh the Working
[10:45] with Larry Christie, uh, Sergeant Christie with the sheriff's office. He's part of
[10:48] our communication team and obviously leads uh NAR.
[10:57] And so the sheriff's app will still be up and operational, it won't be up to date.
