[PUBLIC COMMENTS]

UNFORTUNATELY NO ACTION WILL BE TAKEN BY THE COURT AS WE ARE EXPECTED NOT TO RESPOND. ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS WILL BE TAKEN AS RHETORICAL. PLEASE KEEP YOUR COMMENTS AND LANGUAGE CIVIL AND RESPECTFUL OR YOU WILL FORFEIT THE REMAINDER OF YOUR NAME.

IN THE SPIRIT OF RESPECT, PLEASE SILENCE YOUR CELL PHONES. OUR FIRST INDIVIDUAL SIGNED UP TO SPEAK IS MR. HARVEY JENKINS.

>> GOOD MORNING, COMMISSIONERS.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE LETTERS TO SANTA CLAUS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED. I'M HERE.

HOWEVER, I COME HERE TO TELL YOU THAT AS WE MOVE INTO AN ELECTION YEAR, AND WE HAVE A VERY OWN PRECINCT 2 CONSTABLE MARK JONES RUNNING FOR COUNTY JUDGE, I HOPE YOU MAKE IT, MAN, I REALLY DO. HOWEVER, WHEN YOU COME INTO THE JUDGESHIP, IF YOU ARE SO BLESSED, I HOPE YOU HAVE CONTENSION ARE TINSEY PLAN TO HELP US, YOUR CONSTITUENTS TO BETTER ANY WINTER STORMS LIKE WE HAD THE LAST YEAR BECAUSE PUTTING IT OUT THAT HAYS COUNTY CITIZENS NEED TO START PREPARING THEMSELVES, YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO PREPARE FOR US SO WE DON'T HAVE TO.

SO I WANTED TO PUT THAT OUT BUT CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU, IF YOU ARE SO BLESSED TO BE THE NEXT COUNTY JUDGE.

ALSO, COMMISSIONERS, IN MY TIME AWAY FROM THIS COURT, MANY PEOPLE HAVE APPROACHED ME AND HAVE SAID THAT IT LOOKS LIKE THE HAYS COUNTY GOVERNMENT IS A PONZI SCHEME BECAUSE THEY ARE SEEING MONEY COME IN BUT THERE'S NOTHING TO SHOW FOR IT. YOU GO OUT HERE AND DO TO SAN MARCOS, THIS IS COUNTY SEAT OF HAYS COUNTY.

ROADS LOOK LIKE A WASH BOARD.

YOU KNOW, AND THEN WHERE DO I BEGIN? WHERE DO I END? I COULD TELL YOU FROM MY OWN OBSERVATIONS EVERYTHING THAT IS WRONG WITH THE COUNTY, YOU KNOW.

BUT I'M NOT GOING TO DO THAT.

I'M NOT GOING TO STAND HERE AND VERBALLY BASH COUNTY THAT I LIVE IN. BUT I PLACE IT ON Y'ALL TO CLEAN TUP, AND IF THERE'S ALLEGED MISAPPROPRIATIONS WAS MONEY, IF THERE IS AN ALLEGED PONZI SCHEME, CLEAN IT UP. MAKE US PROUD.

SHOW US WHAT YOU CAN DO. Y'ALL HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY.

GOD BLESS, MERRY CHRISTMAS. >> THANK YOU, SIR.

NEXT UP MR. RODRIGO AMAYA. >> JUDGE, COURT, PEOPLE ASK

[00:05:05]

HIDING EVIDENCE, ONE OF THE MOST COMMON REASONS FOR ATTORNEYS TO BE DISCIPLINED IS PROFESSIONAL MISCONDUCT.

COURT, WE HAVE A LOT OF THE THIS.

THE QUESTION IS WHY HAVE YOU NOT FIXED THAT? YOU KNOW, I KNOW THE REASON BUT IT'S COSTING US LOTS OF MONEY.

SO AS I SAID BEFORE, DURING THE LAST PINES WATER TEAL OUR ATTORNEY MARK KENNEDY COST US OVER $1 MILLION WITHOUT ANY CONSEQUENCE. YOU GO DOWN TO MERRITT COUNTY 1 THE SR. 1.5 MILLION COST 12-15 ELECTED OFFICIALS TIME IN PRISON THEY GOT PICKED UP.

THEY'RE DOING TIME FOR THE CRIME, $1.5 MILLION.

ELECTION SEASON IS UPON US. IT'S A MESS.

IT'S A MESS. THERE'S NO ACCOUNTABILITY.

AS I COME UP HERE AND TELL YOU ALL ABOUT ALL THE STUFF THAT THAT'S BEING OVERLOOKED NO THEY HAVE ALL THESE RE-ELECTED OFFICIALS PROVIDING THEIR TIME AND SERVICES TO GET THEIR BUDDIES ELECTED INTO OFFICES BECAUSE THEY THINK THEY'RE QUALIFIED.

THEY'RE NOT. I WISH THEY KNEW THEIR OWN JOB BUT THEY DON'T. I BROUGHT UP SOME ISSUE BOSTON LACK OF ACCOUNTABILITY AND Y'ALL HAVE DONE NOTHING. GOT SOME QUESTIONS, SOME ISSUES DEALING WITH THE TOWING INDUSTRY.

WE'VE HAD A COUPLE OF DISCUSSIONS.

THERE IS A LOT OF STUFF HAPPENING THERE.

I TRY TO REACH OUT TO THE SHIRTIVE'S DEPARTMENT TO FIX IT -- SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT TO FIX IT.

DIDN'T GET WHAT I WAS SEEKING.

THERE'S A LOT OF PRICE GOUGING.

YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO CHARGE $250 FOR A HAYS COUNTY TOW.

SOME ARE CHARGING $1200. I BROUGHT THAT UP TO THE SERGEANT IN CHARGE. WHENEVER Y'ALL ARE READY I HAVE THE INVOICES TO PROVE THAT.

THAT'S WHAT IT'S ABOUT NOW A DAYS.

I HAVE TO SHOW Y'ALL. THE QUESTION IS WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT. I HOPE YOU DO THE RIGHT

>> OUR FINAL SPEAK SER DOCTOR DAN LYON.

>> THANK YOU JUDGE BECERRA. I'VE GOT TALES TO TELL AND STILL Y'ALL HAVEN'T TOLD ME WHERE I CAN GET THE BOUNTY FOR THESE. BUT WE'LL LEAVE THAT TO LATER. GOOD MORNING COMMISSIONERS.

AS WE APPROACH CHRISTMAS AND THE END OF THE YEAR, FEASE A GOOD TIME TO REFLECT ON WHAT YOU'VE ACCOMPLISHED IN THE PAST YEAR. FIRST OF ALL YOU PAID THE INTERNATIONAL BANKERS OVER $25 MILLION WHICH YOU DID YOUR BEST TO HELP ACCUMULATE.

SECONDLY, ALTHOUGH YOU LOWERED THE TAX RATE TO THE LOWEST IN 30 YEARS, YOU RAISED THE EFFECTIVE TAX RATE THE MOST IN ANY ONE YEAR SINCE RECONSTRUCTION.

MY TAXES INCREASED 67% OVER THE LAST YEAR'S TAXES.

IN THE YEAR WHEN COVID DEVASTATED MY INCOME.

WHEN I OBJECTED TO Y'ALL RAISING THE EFFECTIVE TAX RATE, IN A COVID YEAR, YOU, JUDGE BECERRA SAID SOMETHING TO THE EFFECT SOME COUNTIES USE COVID AS AN EXCUSE TO RAISE TAXES. YOU DID RAISE TAXES BY 67%.

NEXT MONTH I WILL BE 65 YEARS OLD.

ALT A TIME IN MY LIFE WHEN I SHOULD BE ABLE TO TOUR EUROPE EVERY YEAR, THANKS TO Y'ALL I CAN BARELY AFFORD THE ELECTRICITY TO WATCH RICK STEVES EUROPE ON T.V.

I GUESS THAT I SHOULD FEEL FORTUNATE.

THE TAXING POLICIES OF COUNTY, CITIES AND SCHOOL DISTRICTS HAVE MADE MANY INCLUDING SENIORS HOMELESS IN HAYS COUNTY. IN THIS CHRISTMAS SEASON YOU, JUDGE BECERRA AND THE COMMISSIONERS REMIND ME OF A SATANIC SANTA CLAUS WITH YOUR DEMONIC HELPER ELVES.

YOU AWARD THOSE WHO CONSISTENTLY OVERCHARGE US AND DO SHODDY WORK AND CONSTANTLY RAISE EX, TO PAYMENTS ON THE GOOD PEOPLE WHO ARE CONSTANTLY UNDER THE THREAT OF ELECTION AT GUNPOINT.

YOU ARE LIKE A DISPOPIAN RUBIN HOOD WITH HIS MINIONS.

YOU TAKE FROM THOSE WHO DON'T HAVE AND GIVE TO THOSE WHO DON'T NEED. YOUR TAX POLICIES ALONG WITH THOSE OF THE CITIES AND SCHOOL DISTRICTS LITERALLY TAKE FOOD FROM THE MOUTHS MUCH CHILDREN IN WHAT SHOULD BE THE HAPPIEST SEASON OF THE YEAR, IT'S ACTUALLY THE MOST STRESSFUL. ESPECIALLY FOR PARENTS AND SENIORS WHO DON'T KNOW HOW THEY'RE GOING TO PAY THEIR TAXES. ALL RIGHT.

ACCORDING TO TEXAS STATE COMPTROLLERS OFFICE Y'ALL KNOW THIS. Y'ALL DON'T BUT IF YOU SEE

THE HIGHEST BAR ON THERE -- >> PLEASE ADDRESS THE COURT

OR YIELD YOUR TIME. >> RIGHT THERE, DO YOU SEE

[00:10:01]

WHEN ARE Y'ALL GOING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT? I BELIEVE THAT'S THE HIGHEST IN THE STATE.

AT LEAST THE PER CAPITA IS I BELIEVE.

AND IF YOU CAN TELL ME DIFFERENTLY, I'LL, I WILL BE WILLING TO LISTEN TO YOU. BUT THANK YOU, THAT YOU LET

>> ARE YOU GOING TO SPEAK ON THE --

>> JUDGE BECERRA: LET ME HANDLE IT.

COMMISSIONER. THANK YOU.

>> I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THE BACKUP REQUESTED BY THE SARGENT SPONSORED BY INGALSBE.

IT'S A COR RAILROAD AL HARRISON SIGNED THE DOCUMENT OF THE. IF YOU LOOK AT DEW POINT IT SAYS IT'S FOR 36 MONTHS. IT STARTED JULY 17, 2021 -- 2020 PER PAGE 127. IN ADDITION TO THAT, 13 OF THIS BACKUP SAYS THAT IF IT'S LESS THAN, THE RENTAL AGREEMENT IS VALID FOR A PERIOD OF 120 DAYS FROM THE TIME THAT THEY SUBMITTED THIS, DEPENDS ON WHAT DATE YOU USE IT'S 108 DAYS SO THEY CANNOT CHARGE EXTRA IF IT'S LESS THAN 120 DAYS. IT'S GUARANTEED FOR AT LEAST 120. OKAY.

IN ADDITION, IT TALKS ABOUT COLUMN COUNTY ON PAGE 125.

THIS IS HAYS COUNTY. WHAT ARE WE DOING IN COLLIN COUNTY? OKAY. THE OTHER QUESTION I HAD WAS WHAT ARE WE DO DOING RENTING THIS IF IT'S CHEAPER TO BUY IT? WHY WOULD Y'ALL SIGN SOMETHING LIKE THIS THAT IS FILLED WITH ALL INACCURATE INFORMATION? THAT'S WHY I DON'T GO TO THE BACKUP. THAT'S WHY I COME UP HERE AND ASK BECAUSE THIS COURT HAS A HABIT OF ALLOWING ALL KINDS OF MISPRINTS, MISREPRESENTATION THAT CLEARLY SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED.

AND I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU BLAME.

THE AUDITOR, THIS CONTRACT SAYS IT'S GOOD FOR 36 MONTHS. THAT WOULD BE JULY OF 17, 2023. THEY'RE TRYING TO INCREASE RADAR RENTALS, YOU KNOW, I WAS A TROOPER FROM 90 TO 07.

IT'S TRUE THEY DON'T MAKE THEM LIKE THEY USED TO.

I BELIEVE THAT. SO THIS KIND OF -- I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU CALL THIS COMMISSIONER SMITH.

THAT IS WHY I DON'T LOOK AT THE BACKUP.

I CAM UP HERE AND ASK QUESTIONS BECAUSE THIS WAS BROUGHT UP LAST TIME WHEN THEY ENTERED THE WRONG INVOICE. LEAR WE ARE AGAIN.

THIS IS Y'ALL ARE OKAY WITH THIS.

IS THE AUDITOR RESPONSIBLE? IS IT THE COR RAPPAL SARGENT. COMMISSIONER INGALSBE? WHO IS IT? THERE ARE SO MANY ISSUES WITH THIS CONTRACT.

I DON'T SEE WHY YOU WOULD EVEN THINK ABOUT SIGNING IT.

IF YOU DON'T SIGN IT THERE IS PENALTIES BECAUSE THEY WANT THEIR PAYMENT. THE LANGUAGE THEY PUT ON THEIR CLEARLY MAKES THEM IMMUNE FROM ANYTHING.

SO WHAT ARE Y'ALL DOING LOOKING OUT FOR THE TAXPAYERS? THAT IS YOUR JOB.

THAT'S WHY I DON'T LOOK AT THE BACKUP.

THAT'S WHY I ASK QUESTIONS. I DON'T NEED TO BE TELLING ALL THESE FOLKS THAT ARE NAMED HOW TO DO THEIR JOB.

I DON'T GET PAID TO HEALTHY SALARIES LIKE YOU AND COMMISSIONER SHELL SAID PEOPLE GET FIRED FOR A COUPLE OF MISTAKES, THESE RESERIOUS MISTAKES.

>> JUDGE BECERRA: I LIKE TO SEE IF MR. KENNEDY WOULD

LIKE TO ADDRESS THAT. >> MY UNDERSTAND SOMETHING THAT THE CONTRACT OF THE BACKUP IS NOT HOSPITALE'S CONTRACT. HAYS COUNTY HAS SIMPLY PAID FOR SOME OF THESE, SOME OF THIS EQUIPMENT.

SOME OF THIS ON BEHALF OF D.V.S.THAT WAS OUR ARRANGEMENT WITH THEM LONG-TERM SO IT'S NOT OUR CONSIDER THE THAT IS REFERENCED IN THE SUPPORTING MATERIALS. THE ONLY THING THAT I BELIEVE IS RELEVANT IN THE SUPPORTING MATERIALS OF THE COURT WISHES TO VOTE FOR IT IS THE INVOICE.

WHICH REPRESENTS AN INCREASE OVER A PERIOD OF MONTHS THAT WASN'T PAID BECAUSE WE WERE PAYING THESE ON THE OLD MONTHLY AMOUNT. AND SO THERE IS NOT BEEN ANY

[00:45:04]

IT WAS NOT NEGOTIATED. IT IS NOT OUR CONTRACT.

>> JUDGE BECERRA: JUST FOR THE VIEWING PUBLIC, MR. KENNEDY, ALMOST SORRY, FOR THE VIEWING PUBLIC'S SAKE FOR CLARITY AND UNDERSTANDING, ALTHOUGH IT'S NOT OUR CONTRACT, IT'S IN OUR BACKUP.

HOW DO WE CLARIFY THAT'S IN OUR DOCUMENTS? JUST SO WE

CAN EXPLAIN THAT? >> I'M NOT AWARE OF WHO PUT IT IN BACKUP, BUT MAYBE MARISOL CAN SAY --

>> WE PLACED IT IN BACKUP BECAUSE WE WERE ASKED LAST COMMISSIONER COURT TO BRING THE CONTRACT AND WE HAD TO EXPLAIN THE CONTRACT WAS NOT A HAYS COUNTY CONTRACT BUTTED THIS BEEN AN INCREASE IN THE RATE THAT WAS REQUESTING THAT THE COUNTY PAY.

I DIDN'T FEEL COMFORTABLE PROCESSING THE INVOICE.

THAT'S WHY WE BROUGHT IT SO THE COURT WOULD BE AWARE OF THE PRICE INCREASE AND DETERMINE WHETHER THEY WANTED TO GO AHEAD AND PAY% FOR THE ADDITIONAL INCREASE IN THE EQUIPMENT THAT WE HAD BEEN PROVIDING IN PRIOR

YEARS. >> JUDGE BECERRA: COMMISSIONER INGALSBE, I THINK YOU DESERVE A SPACE TO

SPEAK ON IT. >> THANK YOU, WELL, I MEAN I WAS ASKED TO SPONSOR AND WAS HAPPY TO DO T. IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE MONTHLY INCREASE OR THE MONTHLY FEE HAS INCREASED. SO IT'S THE REASON WHY IT'S HERE BEFORE US FOR CONSIDERATION AND I'M CERTAINLY WILLING TO SUPPORT THAT INCREASE.

I MEAN, I BELIEVE D.P.S.DOES A GREAT JOB FOR HAYS COUNTY AND PROVIDES A SITESSAL SERVICE THAT WE NEED.

>> JUDGE BECERRA: THANK YOU, WE DO HAVE A D.P.S.REPRESENTATIVE HERE, WOULD YOU CARE TO CONTRIBUTE ANYTHING? IF YOU DO PLEASE APPROACH THE PODIUM.

STATE YOUR NAME AND TITLE: WHAT I'M TRYING TO DO IS ALLOW FOLKS THAT HAVE BEEN MENTIONED TO CLARIFY.

THAT'S THE GOAL HERE TO CLARIFY AND SET THE RECORD

STRAIGHT. >> COMMISSIONER, JUDGE, I'M LARRY LEE HARRISON THE SECOND.

THE, IN I'M IN HOSPITALE. I'VE BEEN HERE OVER 11 YEARS. THE CONTRACT WAS IN PLAY EVEN BEFORE I BECAME THE CORPORAL.

I DON'T KNOW HOW FAR IT GOES BACK.

IT WAS WITH SARG DERALL AND THE CORPORAL AT THE TIME WITH APPLIED CONCEPTS. I WAS NOT, I WASN'T AWARE THAT I WAS SUPPOSED TO COME THROUGH COMMISSIONERS COURT BECAUSE A CONTRACT WAS ALREADY DONE.

EVERY FOUR YEARS WE GET BRAND NEW RADARS, AND THE FOUR YEARS CAME UP. AND AT THAT TIME WE HAD TRANSITION BETWEEN SARGENT AND CORPORAL, AND THE CONTRACT WAS SIGNED BY ME AND THE PRICE WAS INCREASED AND LIKE I APOLOGIZE, I WAS NOT AWARE WE WERE GOING TO HAVE TO COME TO COMMISSIONERS COURT TO, FOR

THE UP OF THE PRICE. >> JUDGE BECERRA: DO YOU BY CHANCE REMEMBER WHAT IT WAS BEFORE AND WHAT IT IS NOW SO THE VIEWING PUBLIC CAN ENCAPS LATE THE

CONVERSATION. >> NOT OFF THE TOP OF MY

HEAD, SIR. >> BALLPARK?

>> I WANT TO SAY MAYBE DOLLAR 5 INCREASE.

>> PER UNIT IT'S A TOTAL 7801.06 SO -- WHATEVER THAT

EQUALS. >> JUDGE BECERRA: ANY OTHER

QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS. >> I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. I DON'T KNOW THAT YOU REALIZED OR KNEW THAT I WOULD BE HERE TODAY.

I APPRECIATE YOU COMING AND TRYING TO HELP US OUT A LITTLE BIT. AND AGAIN I THINK IT'S A SMALL PRICE TO PAY FOR KEEPING OUR FOLKS SAFE.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. >> JUST ONE THING ON THE INVOICE. IT MENTION AUSTRALIAN DOLLARS. [LAUGHTER] WHICH WOULD BE A GOOD DEAL FOR US I.

I THINK THE EXCHANGE RATE IS IN FAVOR FOR U.S. DOLLARS.

I THINK IT'S LIKE DOLLAR DOLLAR 560.

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THE CURRENCY MENTIONED IS IN THE

PROPER COUNTRY. >> JUDGE BECERRA: THERE YOU ARE. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER. I WOULD LIKE TO ADD I'M ON THE HUNT FOR STATE MONEY THAT BELONGS IN COUNTY, AND A FUTURE AGENDA ITEM TODAY WE'LL HAVE PAPER READY INMATES TO THE TUNE OF 31 PAPER READY INMATES WHICH ARE STATE INMATES, NOT COUNTY INMATES SO THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO DISCUSS STATE MONEY AND STATE WORK AT A LOCAL LEVEL.

C. >> SO MOVED.

>> SECOND. >> JUDGE BECERRA: THERE WE ARE. COMMISSIONER SHELL.

>> JUDGE, THIS IS A NEW AREA OF PRECINCT 3 PREVIOUSLY PRECINCT 4. I'LL LET MARK EXPLAIN IN MORE DETAILS BUT GIVE YOU MY LAYMAN'S EXPLANATION.

THE APPLICANT HAS TWO TRACTS THAT ARED A JAYS DON'T EACH OTHER, AND -- ADJACENT TO EACH OTHER AND WISH TO

SUBDIVIDE EACH TRACT INTO -- >> FOUR TRACTS.

>> WHICH IS TWO, A TOTAL OF 8 TRACTS.

>> YES, SIR. >> TO BE SERVED BY A ROAD.

THE VARIANCE, IF THERE WAS ONE TOTAL TRACT, THEN FOR, TO NOT FOLLOW THE PLAT SOMETHING A MAXIMUM OF FIVE

TRACTS? >> MAXIMUM OF 4.

>> WHEN YOU REACH THE 5TH TRACK YOU WOULD HAVE TO PLAT THE SUBDIVISION OF THE PARENT TRACT.

IN THIS CASES THERE IS TWO ADJACENT TRACTS EACH WITH 4.

THERE IS A LITTLE QUESTION ON HOW TO INTERPRET THE RULE OF WHETHER SINCE IT'S TWO TRACTS AND NOT ONE FRACT WHETHER IT WOULD NEED TO BE PLATTED.

IN THE END, THE DEVELOPER COULD EASILY SATISFY THE REQUIREMENT BY BUILDING TWO ROADS SIDE BY SIDE ON THE PROPERTY LINE AND HALF THE ROAD SERVING FOUR TRACTS.

HALF THE ROAD SERVING THE OTHER FOUR TRACTS.

MY FEELING SINCE IT COULD EASILY BE SUBVERTED IF THAT IS THE WORD WE WOULD WANT TO USE FOR THE RULE, I WOULD RATHER INSTEAD OF JUST HAVE TO BE A PRIVATE EASEMENT THAT WE COULD PUT SOME RESTRICTIONS ON THAT ROAD AND ACTUALLY GET A ROAD THAT IS BUILT TO COUNTY STANDARDS ALTHOUGH IT WOULD REMAIN A PRIVATE ROAD.

THE DEVELOPER IS WILLING TO BUILD THE ROAD TO COUNTY STANDARDS AND HAVE A MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT WITH THE OWNERS OF THE ROAD. INSTEAD OF HAVING WHAT COULD

[01:00:02]

AND ALSO HAVE A -- >> JUDGE BECERRA: BEAUTIFULLY SAID. I THINK THAT IS COMMON SENSE GOVERNANCE. I ALWAYS APPLAUD WHEN DEVELOPMENT SERVICES LEANS IN AND SAYS WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING ON? HOW CAN I HELP. COMMISSIONER SHELL THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU DESCRIBE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

>> I'LL BRIEF, TWO BRIEF COMMENTS THERE, AS THE COMMISSIONER SHELL MENTIONED, THE THOUGHT OF PUTTING IN TWO ROADS THAT WOULDN'T BE BUILT TO COUNTY STANDARDS HAVING ONE SINGLE ACCESS BUILT TO COUNTY STANDARDS EXECUTED AND IN PLACE FURTHERMORE THE DEVELOPMENT WOULD BE, ARE GOING TO TAKE THE STEPS TO HAVE FURTHER RESTRICTIONS ON THE TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT THAT'S GOING TO BE ALLOWED OUT THERE.

ONE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTS PER TRACT.

NO FURTHER SUBDIVIDING OF THE LOTS.

PROVISIONS IN HERE THEY TALKED WITH US TO MAKE SURE THIS, THERE IS NOT GOING TO BE ANY OVERUSE OR ANY OTHER WEAR AND TEAR ON THE ROAD EVEN THOUGH THIS IS ROAD IS GOING TO BE BUILT TO COUNTY STANDARD.

>> JUDGE BECERRA: THIS HAS NO CONCERNS FROM OUR FIRST

RESPONDERS? >> CORRECT.

SINCE IT IS ATE CASE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT BUILDING A COUNTY STANTARD ROAD INSTEAD OF HAVING TWO GRAVEL ROADS OUT IN THE AREA. IT'S SOMETHING WE PLAN ON LOOKING FORWARD TO IN OUR FUTURE REGULATION UPDATE TO SEE IF WE CAN MAKE A CHANGE TO SEE IF WE CAN ACCOMMODATE

MORE TYPES OF DEVELOPMENTS. >> COMMISSIONER SMITH.

>> THIS WAS ACTUALLY IN MY PRECINCT UP UNTIL THE LAST MONTH SO I WAS ABLE TO MEET WITH THESE FOLKS.

THIS IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I KNOW MARCUS AND I HAVE TALKED ABOUT. THERE IS AS WE'VE SERVED OVER THE LAST NUMBER OF YEARS, IDENTIFYING THOSE SMALL AREAS IN THE DEVELOPMENT CODE THAT CAN BE TWEAKED RELATIVE TO WATER AVAILABILITY STUDIES AND THOSE THINGS WHERE WE NEED TO MAKE SOME COMMON SENSE CHANGES IN OUR RULES, THIS IS ONE OF THEM.

I THINK THIS IS A VERY -- Y'ALL KNOW HOW I DON'T LIKE VARIANCE BUS THIS IS ONE THAT I CAN EASILY SUPPORT BECAUSE IT'S FOR THE RIGHT REASON.

I WOULD BE WILLING TO BE CONSIDERED TO VOLUNTEER FOR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. THIS IS NOT REALLY IN MY REALM OF EXPERTISE, HOWEVER, BECAUSE IT'S SO IMPORTANT AND I'VE HEARD SERIOUS CONCERNS FROM THE PUBLIC ABOUT THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING WITH THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND SOME OF THE HOSPITALS AND A BUNCH OF STUFF GOING ON WITH INSURANCE AND STUFF.

>> THANK YOU, I'M GOING TO HAVE JEFF, OUR HEAD OF I.T.SERVICES IS GOING TO PRESENT AND TALK ABOUT THE ISSUE THAT IS WE HAVE AND HOW WE CAN ADDRESS THOSE AND

GET IT UP AND RUNNING, JEFF. >> OKAY.

I'M JEFF MCGILL. HAYS COUNTY INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY DIRECTOR. I'VE IDENTIFY -- I MET WITH LAST WEEK AND WE WENT OVER A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT WE COULD USE TO STREAMLINE. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I THINK HAS BEEN FRUSTRATING WITH IT, ESPECIALLY ON THE WORKING REMOTELY OR HAVING PEOPLE JOIN VIRTUALLY I THINK THAT HAS BEEN A LITTLE BIT CUMBERSOME AND HOW THE TECHNOLOGY CAN BE USED, ESPECIALLY DURING EXECUTIVE SESSION. I KNOW A LOT OF IT JUST KIND OF GOES BLACK DURING EXECUTIVE SESSION BUT WE'LL HAVE TO GET WITH VISION ALITY AND SWAGIT AND COME UP WITH SOME SOLUTIONS TO MIKE SURE THAT WORKS SEAMLESSLY.

WE ALSO HAVE OUR NEW COUNTY WIDE PHONE SYSTEM WHICH HAS A VIDEO CONFERENCING AND A PHONE PORTION OF THIS THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO TIE IT TO MAKE IT A LITTLE MORE EFFICIENT. I KNOW THAT JUST PARTICIPATING IN SOME OF THE VIRTUAL SESSION, THE DELAY BETWEEN WHAT IS GOING ON AND WHAT IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING IS VERY, VERY HARD TO KEEP UP WITH.

IF YOU ARE TRYING TO WORK REMOTELY, BUT I ALREADY HAVE SOME SOLUTIONS FOR THAT. WE NEED TO GET WITH THE VENDORS AND MAKE SURE WE CAN STRAIGHTEN THAT OUT.

[01:15:04]

BUT I MADE THE COMMITMENT TO DOCTOR CARD DENYAS.

>> JUDGE BECERRA: COMMISSIONER SMITH.

>> I APPRECIATE, JEFF, TAKING THE INITIATIVE AND BRINGING THIS FORWARD. I THINK WE'VE ALL EXPERIENCED ESPECIALLY WHEN WE TRIED TO HAVE EITHER REMOTE TESTIMONY OR WE'VE TRIED TO HAVE AN EXECUTIVE SESSION, ONE OF US JOIN OR SOME OF OUR STAFF WHO IS REMOTE WHO COULDN'T PHYSICALLY BE HERE JOIN.

IT HAS BEEN BURDENSOME. TRYING TO ADDRESS THAT WAS A

CONCERN. >> MAY I SINCE THIS OBVIOUSLY DIRECTLY INVOLVES ME.

I'VE SOME QUESTIONS. THIS IS COMING AS A SURPRISE AND I WISH YOU HAD CALLED ME AND LET ME KNOW SO I WAS AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THIS IS THE FIRST I'M HEARING OF SOME OF THESE. THE CONNECTION PROBLEMS ECAUSE SWAGIT AND VISION ALITY IS WORKING FINE FOR THE THINGS WE PURCHASED IT FOR.

WHAT HAPPENED WITH COVID, WE OBVIOUSLY HAD TO MAKE SOME AMENDMENTS AND SOME ADJUSTMENTS TO HOW WE DO THINGS. WE USED ZOOM AND ALSO THE TEAMS. SOMETIMES WE'VE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THAT. AADMIT T. WE'VE FIGURED OUT WHAT THEY ARE BUT IT'S NEW TO ME TO HEAR THERE ARE PROBLEMS DURING EXECUTIVE SESSION.

IS THAT THE MAIN ISSUE? IS THAT THE PROBLEM THAT YOU

ARE TALKING ABOUT? >> WHEN JEFF BROUGHT IT TO ME, THE THINGS WE HAVE HERE IN COUNTY, WHAT I WOULD TELL YOU IS EVERYTHING THAT WE HAVE WORKS IN CONCERT WITH ONE ANOTHER ESPECIALLY AS WE ARE LOOKING AT THE DIFFERENT TECHNOLOGIES EVEN IN DEVELOPMENT SERVICES, THOSE THINGS. THE ONE THING THAT JEFF'S DEPARTMENT HAS DONE A GOOD JOB OF IS COORDINATING WHETHER IT'S THE NEW PHONE SYSTEM, WHATEVER.

WHEN THIS IS ONE -- THIS IS ONE ITEM THAT IS EVEN FROM THE ONSET I THINK THAT IF JEFF AND OUR I.T.DEPARTMENT HAD BEEN INVOLVED EARLY WE MAYBE COULD HAVE ADDRESSED

SOME OF -- >> THEY WERE --

>> MA'AM. >> GO AHEAD.

>> THANK YOU. BUT THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO ADDRESS SOME OF THOSE ON THE FRONT END SPECIFICALLY WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE NEEDS.

SOME OF THE FUNCTION ALITY WE DISCUSSED IN THE PAST I KNOW COMMISSIONER INGALSBE, I'M SORRY, COMMISSIONER INGALSBE BECAUSE INTERESTED IN HAVING, BEING ABLE TO WHEN WE MANIPULATE OUR AGENDAS OUR PHYSICAL AGENDAS, I'VE TWO COMPUTERS SET UP.

ONE WERE MY PHYSICAL AGENDA ON T. ONE WITH SOME OF OUR BACKGROUND DOCUMENTS ON IT SO I CAN VIEW THOSE.

THINGS LIKE THAT WHERE WE CAN HAVE SOME SEPARATE OPERABILITY AMONG WHAT IS SITTING ON THIS JEAN AND THAT SCREEN AND HOW WE CAN INTERACT WITH FOLKS.

JUST HAVING JEFF SIT DOWN AND SAY HERE IS THE NEW TECHNOLOGY WE'RE BRINGING ON BOARD AND HERE IS HOW WE PLAN TO HAVE THAT FUNCTIONALLY AVAILABLE NOT ONLY TO US BUT TO OUR EMPLOYEES, SPECIFIC OUR REMOTE EMPLOYEES. HOW THEY CAN ACCESS THIS I THINK HAVING HIM SIT DOWN AND HAVE THE CONVERSATIONS WITH SWAGIT FROM A VIEW POINT WHERE HE IS HAVING TO DO THIS WITH EVERY ONE OF OUR OTHER VENDORS, THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL. THAT IS AGAIN WHENEVER IT WAS BROUGHT TO ME, I SAW THE FUNCTION ALITY IN THE REQUEST THAT WAS MADE SO I WAS HAPPY TO SUPPORT IT.

>> I'M HAPPY TO DO ANYTHING WE CAN TO IMPROVE IT AND WE'RE A LITTLE BEHIND ON DOING SOME OF THE THINGS I PROMISED COMMISSIONER INGALSBE.

BUT I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS I WANT TO CORRECT, JEFF AND I HAVE A GREAT WORKING RELATIONSHIP.

WE TALK ABOUT EVERYTHING. HE HAS BEEN INVOLVED FROM THE BEGINNING IN THE SELECTION AND RECOMMENDATION OF SWAGIT AND VISIONALLITY AND HIS COMPANY IS EXTREMELY RESPONSIVE. IT DOES COME AS A SURPRISE THERE ARE THESE ISSUES AND I CERTAINLY DO WANT TO ADDRESS THEM. I'VE FULL FAITH IN JEFF'S ABILITY TO DO THAT. AND TO CORRECT SOME OF THESE BUT I DON'T EVEN QUITE UNDERSTAND WHAT THE ISSUES

FOR THE EXECUTIVE SESSION -- >> MY UNDERSTANDING ON EXECUTIVE SESSION SINCE I'M USUALLY NOT IN EXECUTIVE SESSION, TO HAVE AN ITEM ON THERE, IS WHEN THEY'RE EXECUTIVE SESSION ALL OF THE MIKES AND PRESENTATIONS AND EVERYTHING USED FOR THIS TECHNOLOGY BASICALLY BECOMES UNUSABLE DURING EXECUTIVE SESSION.

THERE HAS BEEN CERTAIN TIMES WHERE WE'VE, WE'VE NEEDED TO HAVE DOCUMENTS BEING ABLE TO BE SHOWN ESPECIALLY FOR PEOPLE WORKING REMOTELY OR HAVING A LITTLE BETTER USE OF THE TECHNOLOGY DURING EXECUTIVE SESSION.

>> ONE EXAMPLE WHENEVER YOU MENTION TEAMS, SOMETIMES WE USE WEB EX-BUT THE FUNCTIONALITY OF THE COMPUTERS HERE SHUT DOWN DURING EXECUTIVE SESSION, IF WE'VE INDIVIDUAL EMPLOYEES IN TEAMS WITH US, TRYING TO FUNCTION WITH US, THEY'RE CUT OFF DURING SITE OF SESSION SO THE ONLY COMMUNICATIONS WE CAN HAVE

[01:20:01]

THAT IS ONE EXAMPLE. >> YES.

>> OF WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT, AGAIN I THINK THOSE ARE ALL THINGS THAT IF SOMEONE WHO IS LOOKING AT THE OVERALL HERE IS IS WHAT OUR FUNCTIONALITY SHOULD BE AND LOOKING AT THE NEW PHONE TECHNOLOGY AND THOSE THINGS, I THINK IT'S NOT A BIG -- PROBABLY SPEAKING FOR YOU HERE, I DON'T THINK IT'S A BIG LIP HAVING SOMEBODY IN THE ROOM AWARE OF WHAT WE'RE GETTING AT THE COUNTY AND HOW IT CAN WORK WITH SWAGIT. IT ALSO GIVES US IN THOSE NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE VENDORS A LEG UP BECAUSE WE CAN SIT DOWN AND SAY, WELL, YOU SAY YOU CAN'T DO THIS.

HOWEVER, WE KNOW THIS FUNCTIONALITY IS HERE AND WE KNOW WE NEED TO ACCESS IT. SO THAT IS, THAT WAS THE REASONING BEHIND ME SUPPORTING THE AGENDA ITEM.

>> I REALLY DON'T THINK SWAGIT --

>> JUDGE BECERRA: I WOULD LIKE TO WEIGHT IN FOR A

MOMENT. >> CAN I SAY WE TALKED ABOUT THIS PLENTY ALREADY. AND DURING EXECUTIVE SESSION, THE THING WE DO IS TURN IT OFF BECAUSE WE WEREN'T SURE ABOUT BROADCASTING OR NOT AND WHETHER IT'S AN INTERNAL ZOOM CONVERSATION OR NOT.

SO WE FOUND IT SUCH A SMALL SPACE, NO ONE IN THE ROOM.

PEACEFUL AND QUIET. WE THOUGHT WE'D TURN IT OFF AND IT WOULD BE FINE AND WE CAN ALL HAVE A PRINT OUT INSTEAD OF A SCREEN SHOT. NOT THE END OF THE WORLD BUT SINCE THE BEGINNING YOU HAVE BEEN WORKING CLOSELY WITH JEFF MCGILL AND I.T. HI IS NODDING YES.

YOU HAVE CONTINUED TOE -- TO WORK WOULD HIM THROUGHOUT AND WE GET NEW TECHNOLOGY AND TELEPHONES THEY'LL CONTINUE TO UP FOLD PURCHASE I KNOW YOU SAID YOU HAVE A GREAT RELATIONSHIP WITH I.T. AS THINGS UNFOLD AND WE HAVE IDIOSING CEASE THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESS YOU WILL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH I.T. I'M, IT'S GOING TO BE EXCITING TO SEE HOW THE NEW PHONES WILL MESH HERE.

I KNOW YOU COULD CONTINUE TO TALK AS YOU HAVE AALWAYS DO

SO AND WE -- >> I DON'T WANT TO PROLONG IT THE DISCUSSION BECAUSE I CAN HEAR THERE IS SOMETHING WE NEED TO WORK ON AND WE WILL, BUT I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION BECAUSE IT WAS UNUSUAL FOR EXECUTIVE SESSION TO BE IN HERE UNTIL COVID.

IS THE PLAN TO CONTINUE DOING IT IN HERE BECAUSE THAT HAS BEEN THE ISSUE IS MAKING SURE WE WEREN'T STREAMING CONFIDENTIAL SESSIONS?

>> THAT'S RIGHT. EXECUTIVE SESSION USED TO BE

IN MY OFFICE. >> THAT'S CORRECT.

>> THAT'S ONE OF THE CHANGES THAT THE COURT MADE WAS TO HAVE EXECUTIVE SESSION IN HERE WHICH ORIGINALLY WASN'T DESIGNED FOR THAT. BUT WE CAN DO A REDESIGN WITH VISIONALLITY TO HELP US USE THE TECHNOLOGY THAT'S IN

HERE. >> JUDGE BECERRA: IT SOUND LIKE ALL PARTIES INVOLVED AND INTERESTED ARE SEEING THIS AS LOW HANGING TRUE. WE CAN ADDRESS IT INDIVIDUALLY AND KEEP GOING, IS THAT OKAY WITH YOU?

>> AGAIN, THIS WAS JUST FOR DISCUSSION, WE DON'T HAVE TO MOVE FORWARD ON AN ACTION ITEM BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE WHENEVER WE DO THIS, THAT WHENEVER THIS TECHNOLOGY WAS PURCHASED IT WENT OUT, IT, IT WENT THROUGH A DIFFERENT PATH THAN WE DID WITH OUR PHONE SYSTEM OR WITH OUR, WITH OUR OTHER THING. I.T.WAS THE ONE WHO, THEY WORK WITH THE DEPARTMENT, FOR EXAMPLE, THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT. THEY WORKED WITH THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT TO IDENTIFY NEED.

THEY GO OUT. THEY IDENTIFY THE TECHNOLOGY. THEY FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE IT WORK AND SPECIFICALLY MAKE SURE THE FUNCTIONALITY WORKS AND NEGOTIATE WITH THE VENDOR TO GET THE NEED THAT WE WANT. AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE CONTINUE, WE MOVE FORWARD IN THAT WAY WHERE JEFF AND THE FUNCTIONALITY WE NEED GETS DONE.

>> I AGREE WITH THAT TOTALLY.

JEFF WAS -- >> JUDGE BECERRA: MR. MCGILL, GIVE HER A SECOND.

>> I'M SORRY. >> HE WAS INVOLVED THROUGHOUT. HE WAS INVOLVED IN THE PROCUREMENT AND ALL THE MEETINGS WITH YOU WILL A THE

VENDORS AND THE -- >> I THINK WHERE IT CAME IN IS WHEN WE STARTED TRYING TO UTILIZE THE SYSTEM DIFFERENT THAT HAPPEN IT WAS ORIGINALLY CONFIGURED.

OTHER THAN THE LIGHTS IN THE SKY IT WAS VERY HARD TO DISTINGUISH THERE WERE FRIENDS OR FOES, BUT THE QUESTION TO Y'ALL IS THIS: YOU KNOW, DO WE REALLY NEED TWO MORE ADVANCED UNMANNED AIRCRAFTS? IS THIS A NEED OR IS THIS JUST TOYS TO SPEND ON MONEY JUST TO SAY THAT YOU NEEDED IT THIS YEAR? I DON'T SEE ANY JUSTIFICATION.

THAT'S MY OPINION. AND AGAIN I JUST HOPE Y'ALL REALLY ASK SOME QUESTIONS THAT ARE DEEP AND MAKE SENSE TO US, CITIZENS OF HAYS COUNTY.

I HOPE Y'ALL BRING UP MEMBERS OF THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE TO CLEARLY GIVE A RESPONSE THAT IS PRETTY WELL VERSED AND CLEARLY REFLECTS THEY ARE PASSIONATE AND THEY KNOW WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT, THANK YOU.

SPEAK, MR. DAN LYON. >> THANK YOU, JESSICA.

I WAS LOOKING -- JUDGE BECERRA, I WAS LOOKING ON BACKUP ON THIS YESTERDAY AND ON PAGE 445, IT'S DEPRICING IT SAYS THE VENDOR MUST PROVIDE THE COST OF DUTY AND TRAINING AMMUNITION ON THE MANDATORY BID FORM ATTACHMENT A.I.F.B.2021 B. 13 BID FORM.

ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS AND LIKES PRODUCTS SHALL BE PRICED INDIVIDUALLY. IT GOES ON AND ON.

MY QUESTION, MY PROBLEM WITH THIS IS THAT I LOOKED IN THE CONTRACT. THERE IS PROBABLY ABOUT 50S PAGES OR MORE. I WENT THROUGH EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THE PAGES AND I COUNT FIND I.F.B.2021 B. 13 FORM WHICH WOULD PROVIDE US WITH THE PRICE FOR THE AMMUNITION. I WANTED TO COMPARE TO, SAY, YOU KNOW, MAYBE WHAT WAL-MART COULD DO OR WHAT ACADEMY COULD DO. WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT

[01:30:03]

BUT UNLESS I CAN SEE THAT BID FORM, THERE IS NO WAY I CAN MAKE COMPARISONS SO I THINK UNTIL Y'ALL GET THAT BID FORM IN THERE, THIS MOTION OR THIS AGENDA ITEM SHOULD BE TABLED. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

IF YOU APPRECIATE APPROACH THE PODIUM AND START A TIME

IRFOR MR. JENKINS. >> THANK YOU, YOUR HONOR.

IT BRING ME MUCH PLEASURE TO SEE THAT.

ON THIS AGENDA ITEM, I WAS LOOKING AT THIS WITH DAN LYONS. IS IT STRIKES ME AS WEIRD THAT THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT IS TRAINED WITH 9 MILLIMETER HAND GUNS WHEN THE VAST MAJORITY OF LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS CARRY HAND GUNS OF MUCH LARGER CAL BERS. THAT BEING SAID, WHEN YOU CARRY A GUN OF A LARGER CALIBER, SAY, A 45 OR A 40, SOMETHING LIKE THAT, 357, AND YOU TRAIN WITH A LOWER CALIBER, YOU COME TO EXPECT RECOIL OF THE LOWER CALIBER AND YOU ARE NOT READY FOR THE IMPACT FROM A LARGER CALIBER WEAPON. SO I WANT SOME CLARIFICATION ON WHAT IS GOING ON HERE. WHY IS IT 89,000 ROUNDS OR PURPORTED TO BE 89,000 ROUNDS OF TRAINING AMMO AND 9,000 ROUNDS OF DUTY AMMO. IF THIS COULD BE CLEARED UP I WOULD BE MORE THAN APPRECIATIVE.

THANK YOU. >> JUDGE BECERRA: THANK YOU.

NAME AND TITLE PLEASE, SIR. >> CAP CAPTAIN SHANE SMITH, JAIL OPERATIONS. WE TRAIN WITH THE CALIBERS OF WEAPONS THAT WE CARRY. 9, 40 AND 45, NO ONE TRAIN ONS A DIFFERENT CAL CALIBER AMMUNITION THAN THEY CARRY

I'VE GOT THE R.P.S.RATE SCHEDULE.

AND I'VE GOT A CHANGE ORDER DOCUMENT LIST.

IT'S NOT R.P.S.BUT WHAT I'M TRYING TO ESTABLISH HERE IS A, THE COURT HAS A REALLY BAD HABIT OF EITHER NOT UNDERSTANDING THE WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE AND, THEREFORE, EXTENDING THE TIME OR IT DOESN'T UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH THE WORK IS GOING TO COST THEN WHEN YOU HAVE A CHANGE ORDER -- WE GOT ONE CHANGE ORDER DEW POINT HERE GO FROM $15,000 ON THE ORIGINAL CONTRACT TO $87 MILLION 756,761. THAT'S UNACCEPTABLE.

TO SAY THE LEAST. ALL RIGHT.

I GOT PRINCIPLE 300 TEAM LEADER 280 AND IT GOES DOWN FROM THERE. ALL RIGHT.

NOW BECAUSE THIS IS AN EXTENSION IN TIME, 250 DAYS, WHICH IS WHAT I'VE SEEN FROM BACKUP, THIS IS GOING TO THROW THEM INTO ANOTHER YEAR AND THEY HAVE A CONTRACT IN THEIR CLAUSE THAT SAYS THEY GET A C.P.I.INCREASE OF CONSUMER PRICE INDEX AND THIS YEAR IT WILL PROBABLY RUN 6 OR 7%. DOESN'T SEEM LIKE MUCH BUT ON $300, THAT WOULD BE $18 TO $21 EXTRA.

AND THEY HAD SO GRACIOUSLY AGREED NOT TO CHARGE US A PENNY EXTRA FOR GETTING 250 EXTRA DAYS, BUT THERE'S A PROBLEM THERE. I DON'T SEE HOW THEY'RE GOING TO ACCOMPLISH IT WITHOUT MORE MONEY AND ANYWAY IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE ON TIME.

WE ADDRESS THE REVISIONS SEND THEM BACK, THAT TAKES TIME ESPECIALLY IN A GROWING AREA, EVEN IN THIS CASE WE'RE GOING TO SEE FUTURE AGENDA ITEM THE CITY OF WIMBERLY INSTALLED A SEWER LINE DURING THE SCOPE SO THAT REQUIRES ADDITIONAL WORK.

THE OTHER THING IN DOING WORK WITH THE STATE OF TEXAS ON THEIR ROADS, MENTIONED THIS VERY OFTEN THE ADVANCED FUNDING AGREEMENT WHICH IS REQUIRED IN ORDER FOR US TO DO THE WORK. IN SOME OF THE CASES, WE WAITED TWO YEARS TO GET THE DOCUMENTATION TO ALLOW US TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE PROJECT.

WHOSE FAULT THAT IS I DON'T KNOW.

THE STATE OF TEXAS FORTUNATELY IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS HAS PUT QUITE A LARGE AMOUNT OF INFRASTRUCTURE DOLLARS INTO THE STATE OF TEXAS.

I THINK THERE IS PROBABLY A RELATIONSHIP WITH AMOUNT OF WORK THAT'S BEING DONE WITH THE STRUCTURE.

IT'S NOT ANYTHING DO WITH THE LOCAL TEXT DOT OFFICES BUT IT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU PUT BILLIONS OF DOLLARS INTO FREEZING RAIN STRUCTURE IN TEXAS AND IN ONE ORGANIZATION HAS TO BE THE ONE THAT IT FUNNELS THROUGH.

UNFORTUNATELY I THINK WE'RE PROBABLY GOING TO SEE SIMILAR TIMEFRAMES IN THE FUTURE BECAUSE WE'RE SEEING ANOTHER LARGE INJECTION OF INFRASTRUCTURE DOLLARS THAT COMES FROM OUR FEDERAL TAXES.

WE WANT TO DO OUR BEST TO BRING THE FEDERAL DOLLARS WE PAY AND PUT IN HERE IN HAYS COUNTY AND BEING ONE OF THE FASTEST GROWING COUNTIES IN THE COUNT INFRASTRUCTURE ESPECIALLY TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE IS A CHALLENGE. IF WE DON'T KEEP UP WITH IT WE KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN. IT'S EXTENSIVE.

THERE IS NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT.

IT'S COMPLICATED. ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE WORKING ON STATE ROADS AND GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS WITH THE STATE OF TEXAS, BUT IT'S THE WORLD IN WHICH WE ARE LIVING RIGHT NOW. I DON'T THINK IT'S GOING TO GET ANY BETTER. WE HAVE GREAT SUPPORT FROM OUR DISTRICT OFFICE. WE'VE GREAT PARTNERSHIPS WITH THEM. WE WANT TO CONTINUE THOSE PARTNERSHIPS BUT UNFORTUNATELY THEY DO TAKE

TIME. >> JUDGE, I'LL ADD ON THESE STATE ROADS THE BIGGEST HOLDUP IN WHAT IS PUTTING DELAYS ON IS GETTING THE A. F.A.'S EXECUTED BUT WE CANNOT GET REFUNDED FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS BEFORE THOSE A.F.A.'S ARE SIGNED AND EXECUTED.

THAT'S WHY THEY'RE IMPORTANT AND THAT'S WHY THEY DELAY

US. >> JUDGE BECERRA: DOCTOR CARDENAS, PLEASE CALL THE ROLL.
