>> HI, GOOD MORNING. WE CALL THIS MEETING OF THE APRIL 28TH COMMISSIONERS COURT TO ORDER. THE TIME IS 9:36. AND WE WILL START WITH THE PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD FOR AGENDA ITEMS. THE FIRST SPEAKER WHO IS SIGNED UP IS BILL KEBELAW AND IT LOOKS LIKE YOU JUST HAVE ITEM NUMBER 42. IS THAT ACCURATE? >> THAT'S THE FOCAL POINT. >> BILL KEBERLAW, RETIRED NAVY CAPTAIN. JUST A QUIT NOTE, I READ SOMETHING ABOUT THE F.B.I.'S COMPUTER SYSTEMS GOT HACKED, THEIR COUNTERESPIONAGE, CHINA GOT INTO THEM. I'M WONDERING IF THIS CROWD -- THERE'S NOT MUCH CHANCE CROWDSTRIPE IS GOING TO PROTECT US BUT ITEM 42, I FOUND THAT ONE REALLY FASCINATING. UPGRADES TO REGIONAL PARK TRACK AND FIELD SOMETHING. $6.3 MILLION. THAT'S EQUIVALENT TO 1400 1400 S OF GOLD SO I'M WONDERING IF YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO GOLD PLATE THAT PARK. WONDERING THE DETAILS ON WHAT EXACTLY -- HOW IT WAS GOING TO BE DONE OR ANY STATEMENT OF WORK, BUT IT'S A WHOLE LOT OF MONEY FOR JUST UPGRADING SOME TRACK STUFF. ONE INTERESTING NOTE ABOUT TEXAS. WE KNOW THAT [INDISCERNIBLE] FORMED A COLONY. I'M READING A BOOK CALLED "LONE STAR" AND THE REASON WHY HE ACTUALLY GOT HERE IS BECAUSE HIS FATHER, MOSES AUSTIN, STRUCK A DEAL TO BRING SETTLERS TO TEXAS, BUT IN THE 18TH CENTURY THERE WAS THIS LAND SPECULATION GOING ON AND MOSES WAS A BANK OWNER, AND HE DIED BEFORE HE COULD DO IT, BUT STEVEN F AUSTIN CAME DOWN HERE AND STARTED THINGS, GOT THE BALL ROLLING, AND WHAT'S INTERESTING IS THAT IN THE 18TH CENTURY, THEY CALLED THOSE LAND SPECULATORS DEVELOPERS. SO ANYWAY, I WOULD LIKE TO GET MORE DETAIL ON WHAT'S ACTUALLY GOING TO BE DONE TO THE REGIONAL PARK IN TERMS OF WHY IT'S GOING TO COST SO MUCH. I MEAN, IT'S -- THAT'S MORE THAN A HIGH SCHOOL. >> -- WHEN WE GET TO THAT, BILL. >> OKAY. >> BILL, WHILE YOU'RE THERE, I DON'T MIND MOVING TO NON- AGENDA ITEMS REAL QUICK AND LETTING YOU FINISH OUT, OR IF YOU WANT TO WAIT, EITHER WAY. >> OH, OKAY. THIS IS MORE, AGAIN, IN THE I-T AREA, ONE OF THE FASCINATING THINGS, IF YOU READ UP ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, THE GENTLEMAN THAT'S CREDITED WITH BEING THE FATHER OF MODERN AI IN 1953 WARNED ABOUT THIS REALLY POWERFUL PRODUCT GETTING INTO THE WRONG HANDS. AND I'M GOING TO LEAVE YOU WITH A COPY OF AN ARTICLE I PRINTED OFF. IN FACT THAT ELON MUSK IS SUING WHAT USED TO BE A NON- PROFIT AI LAB BECAUSE HE PUT MONEY INTO IT. AND THE REASON WHY HE'S SUING THEM IS BECAUSE HE'S -- THE CORNERSTONE OF HIS SUIT IS DECEIVING DONORS ABOUT OPEN AI'S MISSION, ALLEGING THEY PLANNED FOR IT -- THEY ACTUALLY PLANNED FOR THE PROFIT CONVERSION FROM THE VERY START. AND HE'S SUING TO GET MICROSOFT OUT OF THIS DEAL, BUT THE AI LAB IN 80 -- 852 BILLION-DOLLAR FOR-PROFIT CORPORATION TIED TO MICROSOFT THAT YEARS AGO WAS JUST A STARTUP, OPEN AI, EVERYBODY BENEFITS. AND ELON PUT BILLIONS INTO IT AND NOW HE'S SUING THEM BECAUSE THEY'VE GOTTEN AWAY FROM THEIR ORIGINAL GOAL. THIS MORE AND MORE IS COMING UP, THE ABUSE DIRECTIONS THAT THIS AI TECHNOLOGY IS GOING TO -- NOT INCLUDING THE ECONOMIC ISSUES, LIKE THE BIG PROCESSING CENTER IN WYOMING. THAT DATA CENTER IS GOING TO CONSUME MORE ELECTRICITY THAN. REST OF THE ENTIRE GRID FOR THE STATE. SO NEEDS -- WE NEED TO DO A LOT MORE RESEARCH ON THIS MESS
BEFORE WE IMPLEMENT IT. >> THANK YOU, BILL. ALL RIGHT, BACK TO PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD FOR AGENDA ITEMS. OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS JIM DYLAN. JIM, I'VE GOT YOU SPEAKING ON 1228, 29, 30, 32. >> DID YOU SAY 12? I BELIEVE THAT'S THE FIRST ONE HE'S SPEAKING FOR. >> FREE DATA SOLUTIONS. FREEIT, FREE WHO? I'M ALREADY FREE AND I'M STAYING THAT WAY. I'M NOT A PRISONER TO CELLPHONES OR COMPUTERS OR MIND CONTROL. SO I DON'T KNOW WHY I NEED FREEIT. AND THE DATA SOLUTIONS, THAT'S A JOKE, BECAUSE THIS DATA STUFF, LIKE SAMSUNG'S NEW DATA CENTER OUT IN TAYLOR, THAT'S PRIMARILY A PROBLEM, NOT A SOLUTION. LIKE BILL SAID, THE EXTREMELY HIGH USAGE OF ELECTRICITY AND WATER THAT THE WORKING PEOPLE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO FUND IN THE LONG RUN, AND THERE'S TRANSMISSION TOWERS GOING EVERYWHERE AND SENDING OUT FREQUENCY THAT ARE HARMFUL TO HUMAN HEALTH. THEY'RE NOT PROVIDING ANY SOLUTIONS. BUT IT'S PART OF THEIR NAME, BECAUSE FREEIT DATA SOLUTIONS INCORPORATED -- AND THEY WANT TO CHARGE THE COUNTY -- WHAT'S IT SAY -- 100 GRAND FOR STORAGE. STORAGE AND MAINTENANCE. SO YOU PUT ANYTHING ON -- YOU KNOW, ON A THUMB DRIVE OR A LITTLE DISK OR SOMETHING, A MEMORY STICK, WHATEVER YOU GOT, AND THROW IT IN A CLOSET AND FORGET ABOUT IT, OUT OF SIGHT, OUT OF MIND. BUT EVERY YEAR, THIS -- THESE COMPUTER GEEKS, NERDS AND INDIANS AND ALL THAT GROUP, THEY GET A HUNDRED GRAND TO STORE THIS STUFF. THAT'S A WASTE OF TAXPAYER MONIES. DON'T VOTE FOR IT. I WANT YOU ALL TO VOTE NO ON THIS. THAT WOULD BE NUMBER 12 AS A NO. YOU CAN'T JUSTIFY IT SO WHY ARE YOU GOING TO VOTE TO DO IT? JUST BECAUSE A BIG MONEY GROUP -- >> 28, ELECTIONS. THAT'S THE BIGGEST FRAUD, THE BIGGEST SCAM -- YOU KNOW THE 2020 ELECTION IT WAS PROVEN TO HAVE BEEN STOLEN FROM THE AMERICAN PEOPLE BY THE COMMUNIST PARTY AND THERE'S NO CONSEQUENCES, NOTHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO THESE PEOPLE THAT STAGED REALLY A VIOLENT COUP, AN OVERTHROW OF OUR LEGITIMATE GOVERNMENT. AND NOT ONE OF THEM HAS EVEN FACED CHARGES, MUCH LESS GONE TO JAIL. THAT HAS TO CHANGE. AND I'M NOT REAL HAPPY ABOUT THE LOCAL ELECTIONS EITHER THAT Y'ALL -- AND THEN -- AND THEN SAID THERE'S GOING TO BE A POLICY EXCEPTION IN THE ELECTIONS DEPARTMENT ON AGENDA 28, BECAUSE YOU WANT TO GIVE MORE MONEY TO A FORMER WORKER -- I DON'T KNOW WHO IT IS -- BUT IT'S GOT TO EXCEED 15% ABOVE THE MINIMUM PAY GRADE. WHAT'S WRONG WITH Y'ALL? WHY CAN'T YOU -- WHY CAN'T YOU THINK THIS THROUGH AND COME TO THE PROPER CONCLUSION? THIS IS A SCAM.
A POLICY EXCEPTION IS ESSENTIALLY NO POLICY AT ALL, BECAUSE Y'ALL MAKE EXCEPTIONS ALL THE TIME, AND ADMIT IT RIGHT HERE ON YOUR AGENDA, ON YOUR OWN PAPERWORK. IT SAYS "POLICY EXCEPTION". SO THERE'S ALL KINDS OF POLICIES THAT THE POLICING FORCE -- THAT'S WHY THEY CALL IT POLICY -- BUT YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE EXCEPTIONS TO THEM WHENEVER IT'S CONVENIENT. WHAT'S THAT ALL ABOUT? >> THANK YOU, MR. DYLAN. >> YOU'RE WELCOME, JUDGE. >> TIME IS UP. ALL RIGHT, HAVE A GOOD DAY. >> DO I GET MY 2 MINUTES NOW? >> FOR? I DON'T -- YOU HAVEN'T SIGNED UP FOR ANY OFF AGENDA ITEMS. THEY'RE ALL AGENDA ITEMS. SORRY, MR. DYLAN. >> THAT'S ALL RIGHT. >> ALL RIGHT, BEFORE WE GO ON TO CONSENT AGENDA, MS. ARNOLD, YOU SIGNED UP FOR NON- AGENDA, WOULD YOU LIKE TO SPEAK NOW OR LATER IN THE PROGRAM? >> I WOULD DO IT NOW, THANK YOU. >> OKAY, WE'LL MOVE OVER TO 54 AND ALLOW YOU TO SPEAK. YOU HAVE 2 MINUTES. ARE YOU READY? YEAH -- SO YEAH, MS. ARNOLD, TO YOU'LL JUST SIT THERE AND WHEN YOU'RE READY TO START, IF YOU'LL JUST INTRODUCE YOURSELF SO WE HAVE RECORD AND THEN WE'LL START THE CLOCK AFTER THAT. >> THIS IS NEW TO ME. >> YEAH. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. >> YEAH. MY NAME IS DEBRA ARNOLD. I'M NEW TO GEORGETOWN I AUTO BEEN OUT. I'VE BEEN HERE ABOUT FIVE YEARS IN JULY. WHAT I FOUND OUT -- AND I WORK FROM HOME. I'VE BEEN IN THE CAR INDUSTRY FOR 36 YEARS, I'M A GENERAL MANAGER. SO BASICALLY, I LIVE IN CARLSON PLACE AND THEY'RE GOING TO BUILD A JAIL, AND I'M JUST CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY OF ALL THE CHILDREN THAT ARE WITHIN THAT PROXIMITY, BECAUSE TO ME IT'S KIND OF CLOSE. SO THAT WAS JUST MY CONCERN WHEN I HEARD ABOUT THAT, BECAUSE I KNOW THAT THEY MIGHT BE MISDEMEANORS BUT THEN THEY ALSO MIGHT BE A LITTLE BIT WORSE, AND GETTING RELEASED DAILY. SO MY THING WAS CAN THEY TAKE THE PROPERTY, NOT THAT PROPERTY THAT THEY'RE AT AND THEN GO FURTHER OUT WHERE THERE'S NO COMMUNITY, NO SCHOOLS, NOTHING OF DANGER FOR -- BECAUSE IF THE CRIMINALS GET OUT AND THEY HAVE NOBODY TO PICK THEM UP, I MEAN, THEY'RE GOING TO GO TO MAYBE SOMEBODY'S HOUSE OR -- YOU KNOW FOR SHELTER IF THE WEATHER IS BAD OR SOMETHING SO THAT'S MY CONCERN. OR PICK UP KIDS, AND I DON'T -- THAT'S KIND OF SCARY. SO THAT'S JUST WHAT I WANTED TO SAY. >> MISS ARNOLD, WE CAN'T TALK ABOUT THIS ITEM BECAUSE IT'S NOT ON THE AGENDA BUT I'M HAPPY TO TALK WITH YOU AFTERWARDS AND -- >> OKAY, I DIDN'T KNOW -- THEY SAID THAT WE CAN COME TODAY TO DO IT. I HAD NO CLUE. >> THAT WOULD BE GREAT. AND ALSO OUR COUNTY MANAGER TOO, AND SHE MAY BE IN THE BACK, REBECCA CLEM ONCE CAN ALSO TALK TO YOU ABOUT ANY OF THESE ISSUES. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS. >> NO PROBLEM. >> APPRECIATE IT. >> THANK YOU, MS. ARNOLD. >> YOU BET. >> ALL RIGHT, COURT, MOVING ON TO AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 1, REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF MINUTES. >> MOTION BY COMMISSIONER COOK, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER BOWLES. ALL IN FAVOR? MOTION CARRIES 5-0. AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 2, HEAR FROM THE COUNTY AUDITOR. WELCOME, NATE. >> GOOD MORNING, NATHAN SINSMEYER, I'M REQUESTING APPROVAL TODAY FOR THE FUNDING REPORT THAT WAS SUBMITTED ELECTRONICALLY LAST WEEK IN THE AMOUNT OF $12,334,139.02. IN ADDITION, I'M REQUESTING APPROVAL FOR 6 WIRES AND ONE BENEFIT PAYMENT TOTALING 3,183,029.57. >> MOVE TO APPROVE. >> I'LL SECOND. >> ALL RIGHT, MOTION BY COMMISSIONER BOWLES, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER COOK. ALL IN FAVOUR? MOTION CARRIES 5-0. ALL RIGHT, THE CONSENT AGENDA IS PRESENTED TO YOU, ITEMS 3 THROUGH 24. WE ARE GOING TO PULL ITEM 3 TO THE REGULAR AGENDA.

ITEM NUMBER 3, DISCUSS, CONSIDER AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION ON AN ORDER DECLARING AN EMERGENCY AND GRAVE NECESSITY DUE TO UNFORESEEABLE CIRCUMSTANCES TO APPROVE A BUDGET AMENDMENT TO ACKNOWLEDGE ADDITIONAL REVENUE FOR VETERAN SERVICES DONATIONS.
I BELIEVE WE HAVE MICHAEL HERNANDEZ HERE FROM VETERANS SERVICES. COULD YOU PLEASE INTRODUCE YOURSELF AND YOUR GUEST. >> GOOD MORNING -- OH, TEST, TEST, TEST. ALL RIGHT. GOOD MORNING, JUDGE, COMMISSIONERS. MY NAME IS MICHAEL HERNANDEZ AND I AM THE DIRECTOR OF VETERANS SERVICES FOR WILLIAMSON COUNTY. WHO I HAVE JOINING WITH ME TODAY IS VFW COMMANDER JOHN MCCLUSKIE OF GEORGETOWN. WE HAVE HAD A COLLABORATION FOR SOME TIME NOW AND THEY HAVE SUPPORTED US FINANCIALLY, WITH VETERANS IN NEED. SO TODAY, THE VFW OF GEORGETOWN IS PROVIDING US A 5,000 DONATION FOR OUR VETERAN COMMUNITY TO ASSESS THOSE WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY WITH THEIR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE -- ASSIST THOSE. >> AND THAT COULD BE UTILITIES, IT COULD BE RENT. >> SO FOR THIS DONATION, SPECIFICALLY, THE VFW OF GEORGETOWN HAS SPECIFIC -- HAS NOT SPECIFIED WHAT THE FUNDS COULD GO TO, SO FOR INSTANCE, UTILITIES, RENT, MORTGAGE, FOOD. LET'S SAY MAYBE THEY NEED TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM AN APPOINTMENT, THAT IS SOMETHING WE CAN HELP WITH LIMITED CAPACITY WITH THESE FUNDS. SO WE WANT TO GREATLY THANK THE VFW OF GEORGETOWN FOR THEIR CONTINUED SUPPORT. >> AND MICHAEL, APPRECIATE YOU EXPLAINING THAT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR DONATION. THIS ISN'T THE FIRST YEAR YOU'VE DONATED, AND I APPRECIATE YOU CONTINUING THAT SUPPORT. AND THE FACT THAT IT WOULD GO DIRECTLY TO THE VETERANS. >> YES, MA'AM. >> WE -- AND THE ASSISTANCE THAT THEY NEED. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THAT. APPRECIATE IT. >> YEAH. THANK YOU TOO. AND JUST TO ALL THE VETERANS, THANK YOU, AND TELL THEM TO BE CAREFUL, BECAUSE VETERANS ARE BECOMING VERY POPULAR IN OUR WORKFORCE. SO JUST TELL THEM, YOU KNOW, WATCH OUT OR THEY WILL FIND THEMSELVES, YOU KNOW, WITH A JOB SO -- TELL THEM THANK YOU FOR ALL THE SUPPORT. >> WE'LL DO THAT. >> AND THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE AND AS COMMISSIONER COVI SAID, WE APPRECIATE THE ONGOING SUPPORT THROUGH THE VFW SO -- >> JUST ONEIT'S JUNE ONE THING L CONTINUE. I'M RETIRED NAVY COMMANDER CHIEF JOHN MCCLUCK I. >> ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU. CAN WE TAKE A PICTURE? >> ABSOLUTELY. >> ALL RIGHT. >> JUDGE, I'LL MOVE TO APPROVE ITEM 3. >> THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER KOVI. SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER LONG. ALL IN FAVOUR? ALL RIGHT, MOTION CARRIES 5-0. >> ALL RIGHT, AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 25. RECEIVE THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE UPCOMING MAY 2026 WILLIAMSON COUNTY EMPLOYEES ANNUAL FOOD DRIVE. COMMISSIONER COOK? >> ASHLEY GARY IS GOING TO COME DOWN. KEMI IS KELLY IS COMING DOWN. WE SURE HAVE A WHOLE LOT OF FLATTENED BOXES IN ONE OFFICE. >> I'M GARY BROWN AND EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT TO COMMISSIONER TERRY COOK. >> GOOD MORNING. >> GOOD MORNING, KELLY HERNANDEZ-HOST, CHIEF FOR COMMISSIONER BOWLES. >> JUST WANT TO TELL ALL OF YOU ON THE DIAS AND EVERY WILCO EMPLOYEE THAT WE ARE HAVING OUR SECOND SEMI ANNUAL FOOD DRIVE STARTING NEXT WEEK, AND IT WILL RUN FOR TWO WEEKS, LIKE LAST NOVEMBER. THE COLLECTION BOXES WILL BE IN
GENERALLY THE SAME AREAS AS LAST NOVEMBER. THE ESOCK, EMS, GEORGETOWN ANNEX, THIS BUILDING, THE COURTHOUSE, SHERIFF'S OFFICE, FACILITIES [INDISCERNIBLE] THE JUSTICE CENTER AND THE CA'S OFFICE, JP4, PRECINCT 2, INTERLOOP AND AT PARKS AND -- >> AND IF YOU WANT TO COLLECT IN YOUR AREA, PLEASE DO, JUST LET US KNOW THAT YOU'RE COLLECTING. WE'VE CHOSEN THESE BECAUSE THEY'RE PROBABLY THE MOST GENERALLY LOCATED BUT THEN ALSO HEAVILY POPULATED AREAS. BUT OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS, WE'VE COLLECTED OVER 6,000 POUNDS, AND THAT'S A VERY SOFT NUMBER, BUT IT'S WELL OVER 6,000 POUNDS OF FOOD. IT'S GOING TO I WANT TO SAY ELEVEN DIFFERENT SERVICE CENTERS IN THE AREA. WE'VE PARED THAT DOWN A LITTLE BIT THIS TIME AROUND. WE'RE GOING TO DO FIVE THIS -- I THINK FIVE THIS TIME AND THEN FIVE IN NOVEMBER. SO THERE'S OBVIOUSLY A GREAT NEED. IT'S GOING TO A GREAT CAUSE. SO IF YOU THOUGHT THAT YOU'RE GOING TO EAT THOSE CANNED LIMA BEANS AND DECIDED THAT IT'S NOT FOR YOU, LET'S HOPE YOU CLEAN OUT YOUR PANTRY. BRING IT -- YOU KNOW, WE'VE JUSS BECAUSE WE'RE MAKING IT EASIER FOR PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO DONATE IN THE AREA. AND WE'VE HAD VERY GENEROUS DONATIONS AND SO -- AND THERE'S -- AGAIN, THERE'S A GREAT NEED SO JUST WANT TO MAKE YOU GUYS AWARE OF IT. SO START BRINGING YOUR FOOD IN AND WE WILL GET IT COLLECTED. >> GO AHEAD, COMMISSIONER. >> CAN YOU TELL US A LITTLE BIT WHY YOU THINK WE NEED A FOOD DRIVE THIS TIME OF THE YEAR? >> SO WE'VE TRADITIONALLY DONE IT IN FALL, BUT AS WE GET INTO THOSE SUMMER MONTHS, WE HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THERE IS A LOT THAT -- A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT GO WITHOUT. SPECIFICALLY THERE'S KIDS AT HOME, SO ESPECIALLY LIKE WHEN YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT -- WHETHER IT'S CLEANING OUT OR WHETHER WHEN YOU GO TO COSTCO OR HEB, MAYBE GRAB SOME EXTRA THINGS. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE LITTLES GET FED THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER MONTHS AND THAT WE JUST MAKE SURE TO GET PLENTY OF FOOD INTO THE FOOD PANTRIES AROUND HERE LOCALLY. AND LET ME SAY THIS REAL QUICK TOO, SORRY: DIAPERS, SHAMPOO, FORMULA, TOOTHPASTE, YOU KNOW, THINGS THAT YOU JUST MIGHT NOT -- >> SOCKS. >> THERE'S THINGS THAT YOU JUST DON'T NECESSARILY THINK OF. AND LAST YEAR -- LAST FALL WE GOT A GREAT DEAL OF THE BABY SUPPLIES, AND IT WAS VERY, VERY WELCOMED. >> AND TO FURTHER ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, COMMISSIONER, THERE ARE A NUMBER OF SCHOOL DISTRICTS THAT DO PROVIDE MEALS THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER, BUT SOME DO NOT. A LOT OF THEM STILL DO NOT. I THINK ROUND ROCK [INDISCERNIBLE] PROVIDES MEALS THROUGH THE SUMMER. BUT THERE ARE ACCORDING TO SOME FOOD PANTRIES THE NEED IS SOMEWHAT GREATER DURING THE SUMMER BECAUSE THERE AREN'T MEALS PROVIDE BY SOME SCHOOLS. >> WELL, THANK YOU ALL FOR DOING THIS. AND OUR EMPLOYEES ARE --.GENEROUS. >> TERRIBLY GENEROUS AND YOU HAVE TO HAVE A GIVING HEART AND ONE TO SERVE THE PUBLIC AND WORK FOR THE COUNTY AND THAT DESCRIBES ALL OF OUR EMPLOYEES. SO THANK YOU FOR THE TIME TO PUT IT TOGETHER. >> AND IF ANYBODY WANTS TO HELP GATHER THE FOOD, SORT THE FOOD AND DELIVER THE FOOD, LET US KNOW. WE WOULD LOVE THE HELP. >> CONTACT ONE OF US AND WE WILL PUT YOU TO OUR -- THE BOXES WILL GO OUT FRIDAY AFTERNOON, SO THE FOOD DRIVE CAN START ON MONDAY. AND THEN GENERALLY THE FOLLOWING FRIDAY, I GO COLLECT, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE FOOD AND BRING IT BACK OVER TO GESTER AND START SORTING IT OUT THERE. BUT LIKE LAST FALL, I MEAN, WE GATHERED LITERALLY A TON AND A HALF OF FOOD. AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN CONTINUE GROWING THAT NUMBER THIS SPRING. >> OKAY. IS THERE A SATURDAY DERBY SEEM TO REMEMBER IN THE FALL THERE WAS A SATURDAY AT THE GESTER ANNEX OR ARE Y'ALL JUST DOING IT THROUGH THE WEEK? >> COLLECTING IT THROUGH THE WEEK BUT THERE WAS A SATURDAY WHERE THERE WERE STILL DERBY -- BECAUSE IT'S AT GESTER IT'S EASIER FOR ME TO JUST GO DIVVY UP FOOD. BUT SOMETIMES -- WE HAD SO MUCH THAT I COULDN'T KEEP UP. AND SO ANDY IN YOUR OFFICE CAME AND HELPED, AND WE DID THAT ON A SATURDAY, AND THAT WAS FUN. BUT I WOULD REALLY RATHER TRY TO DO IT THROUGH THE WEEK. >> YEAH, WE'LL HOPE YOU GET THEE WORD OUT AND SEE IF WE CAN REALLY MAKE A DIFFERENCE THROUGH THIS FOOD DRIVE BUT I APPRECIATE Y'ALL FOR TAKING THE LEADERSHIP
ROLE IN THIS. >> YEAH, REALLY APPRECIATE IT. >> THANK YOU. >> ALL RIGHT, MOVING ON TO AGENDA ITEM 26, DISCUSS, CONSIDER AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION ON DELEGATING, AUTHORIZING THE WILLIAMSON COUNTY BUDGET OFFICER AS APPROPRIATE AND SUBJECT TO CONDITIONS AND DIRECTIONS PROVIDED BY THE WILLIAMSON COUNTY COMMISSIONERS COURT TO AMEND THE BUDGET BY TRANSFERRING AMOUNTS OF BUDGETED FOR CERTAIN ITEMS TO OTHER BUDGET ITEMS THROUGHOUT THE FISCAL YEAR. >> FOLLOWING POLICY, YEP OF COURSE. >> WELCOME. >> ASHLEY HOLIDAY, A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO JULIE AND I COUNTY AUDITOR CAME BEFORE THE COURT ASKING IF THERE WAS ANY INTEREST TO MOVING FORWARD WITH A POLICY TO AMEND THE LINE ITEM TRANSFER PROCESS. AS YOU KNOW WE ARE TRANSITIONING FROM ORACLE TO WORKDAY AND ALONG WITH THAT COMES SOME SUGGESTIONS HOW WE CAN BE MORE EFFICIENT AND BETTER OUR PROCESSES. THIS WOULD ALLOW ENDUSERS OR DEPARTMENTS TO GO AHEAD AND END THEIR TRANSFERS INTO THE SYSTEM. THEY WOULD COME DIRECTLY TO US FOR APPROVAL. YOU ALL HAD SOME SUGGESTIONS A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO SO WE CRAFTED A POLICY FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. >> WELL WRITTEN. >> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, COMING FROM COMMISSIONER COOK, THAT IS A HUGE COMPLIMENT. >> ALL RIGHT, COURT, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ASHLEY? >> I SAY GO FOR IT. TAKE IT AWAY FROM US. >> SO IS THAT A MOTION? >> YEAH, THAT A SMOKE COMMISSIONER SMOKE, COMMISSIONER MOTION, COMMISSIONER COOK? COMMISSIONER BOWLES HAS SECONDED. ALL IN FAVOUR? >> CAN WE ADOPT BUDGET TODAY TOO? I MEAN, WOW, THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, ASHLEY. AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 27, DISCUSS, CONSIDER AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION ON THE MULTI-USE ROOM RESERVATION POLICY FOR WILLIAMSON COUNTY CONFERENCE AND TRAINING ROOMS. WELCOME UP COUNTY MANAGER REBECCA KLEMENS. >> GOOD MORNING, THE COURT HAD A DISCUSSION A FEW MONTHS BACK ABOUT OUR POLICIES ON ROOM RESERVATIONS AND AND GET TOGETHER WITH COMMITTEE AND BRING BACK A DRAFT POLICY AND THAT IS HERE TODAY FOR YOUR REVIEW. I DID SEND IT OUT AHEAD OF TIME AND GOT A COUPLE OF CHANGES AND THEY ARE RED LINED ON HERE, ADDING CAMPO TO OUR GROUP OF APPROVED COUNTY EXTERNAL USERS AND THEN MAKING AN EXCLUSION FOR WHENEVER AGRILIFE HAS THEIR KIDDOS COME FOR VALIDATION NEEDS, MAKING SURE THAT THEY CAN USE COUNTY FACILITIES FOR THAT. >> I'M SORRY, REBECCA, THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THIS TOGETHER. AND I KNOW RACHEL HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN IT. OUR BUILDING IS UNIQUE IN THAT IT HAS THE LARGEST SPACE TO RENT IN THE COUNTY. OF ANY COUNTY BUILDING. AND MAYBE IT WILL BE WHEN OUR NEW COURTROOM IS OPEN, MAYBE THAT ONE ALSO, BECAUSE I THINK IT'S MULTIPURPOSE. AND I KNOW YOU'RE TRYING TO BE UNIFORM ACROSS ALL OF OUR BUILDINGS. BASICALLY WE'RE TAKING OUT GESTER FROM BEING ABLE TO BE RENTED BY ANYBODY OUTSIDE OF THE COUNTY PEOPLE, RIGHT. THERE'S NOENT ARING OF -- >> WE'RE TRYING TO REMOVE THE WORD RENTALS AND PRESS REST SERVICES BECAUSE WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE ACCEPTING MONEY OR PAYMENT ANYMORE AND WE'VE RUN INTO A LOT OF ISSUES ACROSS THE COUNTY WHERE WE DO NOT HAVE SPACE FOR COUNTY YOU THINK SO IFS OR COUNTY MEETINGS. SO GETTING AWAY FROM BEING A PUBLIC RENTAL PROCESS TO MAKING SURE THAT WE DO RESERVATIONS FOR COUNTY STAFF OR COUNTY BUSINESS AND FOR THOSE ASSOCIATED INTO THESE, WITH THE COUNTY TO BE ABLE TO MEET AND HAVE THIS [INDISCERNIBLE] SO I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS, I'M SORRY, I DIDN'T HAVE A CHANCE TO GO OVER WITH YOU BEFORE BUT -- BECAUSE OF THE LARGE ROOM THAT WE HAVE AND I JUST CALL IT THE BIG ROOM, IT WAS NOT SET UP FOR COMMUNITY OR REALLY WHAT IT'S BEING USED FOR, REALLY. WE FINISHED IT OUT SO IT COULD BE USED AND I'M GLAD WE HAVE IT. BUT WE'VE -- I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE REMIND PEOPLE. MY CONCERN IS AND I'M KIND OF CONFUSED A LITTLE BIT HOW IT WILL WORK BECAUSE WE TALK ABOUT FIRST COME FIRST SERVE AND YOU CAN SIGN UP FOR WHATEVER, AS LONG AS IT'S A COUNTY FUNCTION. AND BY THE WAY, SOME PEOPLE HAVE DIFFERENT BEGINNINGS ON THAT BUT THROUGHOUT THE DOCUMENT WE TALK
ABOUT AN ADMINISTRATOR AND I THINK THAT'S VERY WISE TO HAVE SOMEBODY IN THE BUILDING BE IN CHARGE OF THE ROOM ULTIMATELY. AND LIKE IN OUR BUILDING, WE HAVE THE BIG ROOM, WE ALSO HAVE THE HR ROOM AS YOU KNOW AND TRAINING AND THE PURCHASING TRAINING, THAT OF COURSE PURCHASING IS MOVING OUT. AND THOSE GET USED A LOT BY A LOT OF DIFFERENT FOLKS. SO OUR OFFICE HAS TAKEN THAT ROLE OF BEING THE ADMINISTRATOR, UNLESS IT'S DURING THE HOURS OF THE DAY. AND I THINK YOU ADDRESSED THAT BY THE DEPARTMENT SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT HOW THAT'S GOING TO WORK. IF THE ADMINISTRATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THINGS BUT CAN'T SAY NO TO IT BECAUSE IT'S AN OPEN SLOT, HOW DOES THAT WORK? >> SO WHAT THEY WERE THINKING THAT THE EASIEST PROCESS WOULD BE IS TO HAVE PEOPLE THAT COULD PUT IN THEIR REQUEST AND THEN THE ADMINISTRATOR WOULD HAVE THE ABILITY TO DENY THAT REQUEST IF NEEDED, AND AN EXAMPLE I'LL USE IT ELECTIONS KIND OF HAS FIRST COME RESERVATIONS ON WHATEVER THEY NEED. >> RIGHT. >> THEY DO A GREAT JOB OF DOING STUFF REALLY FAR AHEAD OF TIME IN ADVANCE, BUT IF SOMETHING UNEXPECTED CAME UP AND THEY NEEDED SOMETHING, THEN THAT ADMINISTRATOR WOULD HAVE THE ABILITY TO GO IN, CANCEL A MEETING, GIVE ELECTIONS A SPACE AND REACH OUT TO WHOEVER HAD RESERVED THAT SPACE AND LET THEM KNOW, HEY, WE HAD URGENT COME UP. IF WE HAVE -- I'LL USE COVID AS AN EXAMPLE. WE STARTED USING OUR HR ROOM AS A PHONE BANK FOR COVID, FOR PEOPLE CALLING WITH QUESTIONS. WE CANCELED THE OTHER MEETINGS THAT WERE GOING TO BE SET TO TAKE PLACE IN THAT ROOM, BECAUSE FOR AN EMERGENCY NEED, WE NEEDED IT FOR THAT PHONE BANK CENTER. SO WE DO FEEL LIKE IT'S IMPORTANT TO HAVE SOMEBODY WITHIN THE BUILDING AS A POINT OF CONTACT. HISTORICALLY -- AND I KNOW IT WAS YEARS AGO THAT THIS WAS DISCUSSED -- IT WAS OF THE COMMISSIONER IN THAT BUILDING. THAT'S WHAT WE HAD PUT IN HERE. I WILL SAY -- AND YOU KNOW, COMMISSIONER COOK CAN SPEAK TO THAT. I KNOW THAT ONE OFFICE DOES NOT WANT THAT. THEY WOULD PREFER FOR IT TO BE IN A DIFFERENT OFFICE WITHIN THE BUILDING, OR THEY WOULD ACTUALLY PREFER IT TO BE CENTRALIZED WITH FACILITIES OR SOMEWHERE ELSE. THE MAJORITY OF THE COMMITTEE DID WANT SOMEBODY IN THE BUILDING. THAT WAY IF THERE WAS SOMETHING WHILE PEOPLE WERE THERE -- WE ARE TRYING TO KEEP IT TO 8 TO 5 MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, IF THERE WAS SOMETHING AFTER HOURS, SAY YOU KNOW -- >> THERE WILL BE. >> SAY YOU KNOW, YOU WANTED TO HAVE AFTER HOURS ADVOCACY CENTER MEETING OR SOMETHING AT THE BUILDING, THEN BY SIGNING THAT UP, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE NOW FOR THAT, MAKING SURE THAT ANYTHING WITH THE DOOR LOCKS THAT ARE CHANGED AND STUFF THERE. WE ARE TRYING TO ELIMINATE THE PUBLIC RESERVATIONS, JUST BECAUSE WE'VE HAD SOME ISSUES WITH TRASH, WITH BREAKING RULES AS FAR AS WHAT BEVERAGES THEY CAN BRING IN OR WHAT EVENTS THEY CAN HAVE. >> RIGHT. >> AND SO, UNFORTUNATELY, IT'S JUST KIND OF -- >> LEAVE EARLY. >> YES. >> EARLY AND THE DOORS ARE UNLOCKED. >> THE DOORS ARE LEFT OPEN SO WE'VE RUN INTO A LOT OF ISSUES. AND SOME BUILDINGS, SOME OF THE NEWER BUILDINGS ARE SET UP A LITTLE BIT BETTER, WHERE WE CAN LOCK CERTAIN DOORS AND DO CERTAIN THINGS. AND SOME OF THE OTHER ONES ARE NOT SO THEY COULD WANDER THE HALLWAYS. >> AND LET'S TALK ABOUT THAT FOR A SECOND -- >> WE WANT TO MAKE SURE IT'S SAFE AND WE'RE MINIMIZING THE COUNTY'S RISK AND LIABILITY. >> I APPRECIATE THAT. SO WHOEVER RENTS IT OUT OR NOT RENTS IT BUT RESERVES IT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DOOR LOCKS, LIKE IN OUR BUILDING, WE ARE ONE OF THE NEWER BUILDINGS AND WE CAN LOCK IT ELECTRONIC -- OVER THE COMPUTER. ARE WE STILL GOING TO HOLD THAT DEPARTMENT RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING SURE THAT THAT IS ALL CLOSED DOWN AT THE END OF THE NIGHT? >> YES. >> BECAUSE OUR BUILDING DOES GET USED AT NIGHT QUITE A BIT, ACTUALLY OVER -- AT 5 O'CLOCK. >> YEAH. >> AND AGRILIFE IS A HEAVY USER OF THE GEORGETOWN ANNEX BUILDING EVEN AFTER HOURS WITH ALL THEIR EVENTS AND KIDDO STUFF. >> RIGHT AND WE WANT TO MAKE THAT AVAILABLE TO THEM. THAT'S NOT A PROBLEM. AND THAT WAS -- THAT WAS CONSIDERED WHEN WE BUILT THE BUILDING, BY THE WAY, AND PUT THEM IN THERE. >> AND THEY HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A GREAT PARTNER AND ARE VERY RESPONSIBLE WITH MAKING SURE EVERYTHING IS TAKEN CARE OF. >> DID I MISS IN HERE -- IF YOU'RE LIMITED ON HOW FAR OUT YOU CAN RESERVE? BECAUSE WE HAVE SOME THAT WOULD RESERVE FOR THE NEXT 20 YEARS AND THEY WOULD RESERVE A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT TIMES. NOW MAKING IT NOT AVAILABLE FOR OTHERS. AND SO I DIDN'T SEE A LIMIT -- BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WE HAVE A LIMIT BECAUSE OUR OFFICE IS THE ADMINISTRATOR AND WE HAVE A LIMIT OF SIX MONTHS. YOU CAN GO -- IT NEEDS TO BE FURTHER -- AND EXCEPT FOR THE BENEFITS FAIR, WHICH WE DO ANNUALLY, AS SOON AS WE'RE TOLD THE DATE. I THINK THAT NEEDS TO BE IN THERE BECAUSE IT NEEDS TO BE SOMETHING THAT'S REASONABLE AND WE'RE SHARING, BECAUSE THAT'S THE WHOLE GOAL. >> SO WE CAN PUT SOMETHING IN THERE BUT NO MORE THAN SIX MONTHS OUT UNLESS THERE'S PRE-APPROVAL BY THAT ADMINISTRATOR. >> ABSOLUTELY, SOMETHING LIKE THAT, THAT MAKES SENSE, RIGHT. I DIDN'T SEE ANY -- I KNOW DURING THE DAY IT'S NOT -- THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE AN ISSUE WITH ALCOHOL AND I DON'T THINK THAT WE HAVE TO STATE THAT, 8 TO 5. AFTER HOURS, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S NOT, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE WE HAD THAT CONVERSATION ABOUT IN HERE, WE HAVE LAW ENFORCEMENT, IF YOU'RE USING THE BUILDING AFTER HOURS, WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING IN THERE FOR THAT?
>> NO, NO ALCOHOL, NO TOBACCO. >> GOT IT. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE, BECAUSE OF THE WAY IT'S SET UP, FIRST COME FIRST SERVE, THAT AS -- I DON'T KNOW HOW THE ADMINISTRATOR SAYS E SOOS THAT BEFORE IT SEES THAT BEFORE IT ACTUALLY BECOMES A THING THAT PEOPLE PLAN AROUND. HOW DO YOU ENVISION THAT WORKING? >> SO MY THOUGHT IS SOMEBODY PUTS THAT REQUEST IN AND WITHIN -- YOU KNOW, THEY CAN SEND AN AUTO REQUEST BACK, YOU'RE WAITING FOR APPROVAL, SOMEBODY SHOULD BE BACK TO YOU WITHIN THIS AMOUNT OF TIME FRAME, PLEASE WAIT FOR APPROVAL BEFORE YOU MOVE AHEAD WITH PLANS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. >> CAN WE STATE THAT IN THERE. I THINK THAT'S WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW, SOMEBODY WANTS TO USE THE ROOM, THEY CALL OUR -- IN OUR BUILDING, THEY CALL OUR OFFICE. UNLESS IT'S HR, YOU KNOW, WE LEAVE THOSE TO THE DEPARTMENT BUN THE BIG ROOM WOULD BE OVERUSED I'M A AFRAID IN A LOT F DIFFERENT WAYS. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE FAIR TO ALL. SO THAT WOULD BE GREAT. I'M FINE, JUDGE, WITH MOVING FORWARD WITH THOSE CHANGES, UNLESS YOU WANT TO BRING IT BACK NEXT WEEK BUT -- >> NO, IS THAT A MOTION? >> YEAH, I'LL MOVE TO APPROVE WITH THOSE CHANGES. >> ANY CLASSIFICATION? >> I'LL SECOND. >> SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER COOK. ANY MORE COMMENTS, ANY MORE QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS? OKAY, HEARING NONE, WE'LL TAKE A VOTE. ALL IN FAVOUR? MOTION CARRIES 5-0. THANK YOU, REBECCA. >> COMMISSIONER COOK, YOU'RE THE ONLY BUILDING THAT HAS ALLOWED OUTSIDE GROUPS TO RENT, IF YOU WILL. ARE YOU IN COMMUNICATION WITH -- >> THEM SO THEY KNOW THAT? OKAY, PERFECT, THANK YOU. >> ALL RIGHT, MOVING ON TO AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 28, DISCUSS CONSIDER, AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION ON A POLICY EXCEPTION TO ALLOW FOR THE SALARY OF A REHIRE IN THE ELECTIONS DEPARTMENT TO EXCEED 15% ABOVE THE MINIMUM OF THE PAY GRADE. SO BRIDGET IS HERE FROM ELECTIONS BUT I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION OR -- >> JUST A QUESTION, YEAH, JUDGE. I KNOW THIS PERSON LEFT AND THEN WE'RE TRYING TO GET BACK THEM. ARE WE TRYING TO TAKE THEM TO THEIR SALARY THAT THEY HAD BEFORE AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE GOING OVER THIS LIMIT? GO AHEAD AND INTRODUCE YOURSELF, SORRY. >> INTRODUCE YOURSELF AND ANSWER THE QUESTION. >> BRIDGET [INDISCERNIBLE] ELECTIONS ADMINISTRATOR. THE PREVIOUS DEPUTY ELECTIONS. >> ADAM: MACHINE FOR HAD TO ADMO STEP AWAY AND NOW COMING BACK AND WE RE-INSTATED HER TO HER PREVIOUS SALARY. >> BECAUSE WHEN SHE LEFT IT WENT BACK TO THE MINIMUM, IS THAT WHY? >> YES, MA'AM. >> AND YOU HAVEN'T REPLACED THAT PERSON? >> NO, MA'AM. >> SO IT'S AN OPEN SPOT SO WE HAVE THE BUDGET IS WHAT I'M ASKING? >> YES, YES. >> ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE THAT. I'LL MOVE TO APPROVE. >> WE ALL EXPRESS OUR APPRECIATION TO HER COMING BACK. >> YES, SHE'S HERE. >> AND WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER COVEY. >> SECOND. >> SECOND BY COMMISSIONER LONG. ANY MORE QUESTIONS FOR BRIDGET? ALL RIGHT, ALL IN FAVOUR? MOTION CARRIES 5-0. THANK YOU, BRIDGET. >> ITEM NUMBER 29, DISCUSS, CONSIDER AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION ON APPROVING ADDITIONAL MERIT FOR EMPLOYEE TRANSITIONING FROM FULL-TIME TO PART-TIME WITHIN THE WILLIAMSON COUNTY EMS. AND JOHN GONZALEZ IS HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS Y'ALL MIGHT HAVE. >> YEAH, THIS WAS KIND OF INTERESTING. WE'RE GOING FROM FULL-TIME TO PART-TIME AND WE'RE GIVING MERIT. >> AND WE WANT TO HANG ONTO THAT TALENT. AND JUST GO TO PART-TIME. >> JOHN GONZALEZ, EMPHASIZE CHIEF EMPHASIZE COUNTY EMS. SO THIS IS AN EXCEPTION TO THE POLICY FOR MERIT. >> SO THIS INDIVIDUAL IS A FULL-TIME EMPLOYEE. WE DID CONVERT A FULL-TIME POSITION TO A TWO PART-TIME POSITIONS FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR SO IT WAS A CONVERSION AND NOT A NEW POSITION. THAT INDIVIDUAL CHOSE TO GO PART-TIME VERSUS FULL-TIME AND INSTEAD OF LOSING THE EMPLOYEE, WE WANTED TO RETAIN HIM ON A PART-TIME STATUS.
