I THINK OUR TEAM HAS CONTINUED OUR CASE WE ARE PROCESSING THEM INTERNALLY.
I AM NOT SURE WHAT THE AUDITORS FEEL THEY FEEL THEY ARE QUALITY SUBMISSIONS.
THERE'S MAYBE NOT AS MANY ISSUES WITH THE TICKETS. THAT I'VE HEARD.
BUT, MAYBE THAT IS NOT THE CASE.

DRAINAGE DISHES DRAINAGE DITCHES ARE BEING UPDATED.
THERE ARE ALSO A LOT OF CITY UTILITIES THERE ARE SOME CHALLENGES ASSOCIATED WITH GETTING THOSE ADJUSTED IN A TIMELY MANNER. WE LOOKED AT VARIOUS OPTIONS AND ADJUSTED THE PLANS IS SOMETIMES BASED ON SOME OF THOSE OPTIONS TO ACCOMMODATE THE UTILITY ADJUSTMENTS. WE SUBMITTED 100 PERCENT PLANS SEVERAL TIMES AS RESULT OF THOSE CONTINUOUS CHANGES AND THAT IS WHAT OF SOME OF THE SCOPE CHANGES THAT THE COMMISSIONER IT WOULD THAT BASICALLY WERE THE RESULT OF THE UTILITY WE HAVE ENCOUNTERED.

>> THESE OBVIOUSLY ELECTIONS BUILDING ON 120 STAGECOACH IS THE OLD LAW ENFORCEMENT BUILDING AT THE JAIL SITE. THE ELECTIONS BUILDING THAT THE COUNTY JUST PURCHASED WE NEEDED SOMEONE TO GO IN AND PUT TOGETHER THE PLANS, SPACE PLANNING, CONSTRUCTION ESTIMATES, ETC. THE SAME ON IT YOU WENT ROAD. WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON SOME DIFFERENT PROGRAMS I THINK THE MAGISTRATE'S OFFICE WILL BE WELL-SUITED TO HAVE SPACE THERE AND SOME OTHERS, TOO. I THINK THOSE ARE THE TWO OF THE SITES THAT WE ARE HOPING THAT TO HAVE THEM HELP US WITH.
>> JUDGE, I AGREE. WE ARE GOOD. WE WILL SEE WHAT WE CAN ACCOMMODATE THERE BUT THERE IS PLENTY OF SPACE TO HAVE SOME SERVICES THERE IT WOULD BE VERY USEFUL.
>> TAMMY, AS YOU UNDERSTAND IS THE PUBLIC DEFENDER'S OFFICE, CORRECT?
>> IS LIKELY TO BE PRETRIAL THERE. IN THE MAGISTRATE'S THEY HAVE GROWN AND WE HAVE STAFFED THAT DEPARTMENTS. I KNOW THEY ARE LOOKING AT IMPROVEMENTS TO BE WELL-SUITED FOR THEM. THERE COULD BE SOME FLEX SPACE IN THEIR ESPECIALLY COULD BE PDO FLEX SPACE. THE OTHER ENTITIES THAT THE
[00:55:02]
PRETRIAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT HAS AGREEMENTS WITH WHETHER IT WAS COUNSELING OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT YOU CAN HAVE SOME FLEX SPACE FOR PEOPLE TO HAVE MEETINGS OR POTENTIAL DEFENDANTS, FAMILIES, ETC. THAT COULD BE DONE IN THERE. IT'S A CINDERBLOCK BUILDING SO THERE'S NOT A LOT OF CHANGES THAT COULD BE MADE TO THE INTERIOR EXCEPT INSTALL CERTAIN WALLS. AS FAR AS MOVING EXISTING WALLS WE ARE LIMITED.I THINK SOME BASIC IMPROVEMENTS THERE NEEDS TO BE BATHROOM SPACE.
IT NEEDS TO BE PAINTED, NEW FLOORING, ETC., PROBABLY SIN. IT INFRASTRUCTURE THINGS LIKE THAT. I THINK THAT IS THE BASICS FOR 1303 IS TO GET TO WHERE WE CAN SPACE PLAN AND SAY HOW MUCH DO WE DECIDED TO THE MAGISTRATES AND HOW MUCH TO BE DESIGNED FOR PRETRIAL AND WORK IN THE PUBLIC, AND USE OF THE SPACE. THERE IS STILL SOME STORAGE THERE AND IT WASN'T REPURPOSED FOR STORAGE UNMEASURED LONG-TERM USE OR NOT BUT WE NEED TO ACCOMMODATE THAT, TOO, IF BUILDING IS LIKE THAT IN THE FUTURE.
>> WE CONSIDER PDO ENOUGH SPACE WE NEED INPUT FROM WHOEVER COMES IN AND MANAGES THAT PROGRAM. IT MAY NOT BE SUITED FOR THEM AND SO THAT IS WHAT WE ARE LOOKING AT OTHER SERVICES THERE.
>> I WANTED TO FOLLOW-UP AS YOU KNOW.
>> I THINK THEY WILL MAKE GOOD USE OF EVERY SQUARE FOOT. I THINK ESPECIALLY A LOT OF THE WORK THAT OUR MAGISTRATES ARE REALLY FINDING WAYS TO REFINE HOW WE OPERATE.
I THINK THIS SPACE WILL HELP THEM DO THAT.

BY SIMPLY GOING TO THE SUBDIVISION PROCESS WITH THIS DANGER HEREBY COUNTY RULES AND REGULATIONS THAT FLAT LOTS ARE NOT ALLOWED UNLESS APPROVED BY THE COMMISSIONERS COURTS IN THE SPIRIT OF RULES AND REGULATIONS.

>> YES >> 47, THE CREATION OF A HAYS COUNTY SEXUAL ASSAULT RESPONSE TEAM PURSUANT TO SECTION 351.252 OF THE TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE.
>> COMMISIONER SMITH BROUGHT THIS UP INITIALLY. IT WAS ON MY PLATE AT MY DESK AND I WAS GETTING VERY EASY ABOUT THAT PRESSURE WE HAVE ALREADY FELL BEHIND ON AND I WANTED TO GET THIS.
>> I WANT TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE THE COUNTY FOR SOME TIME HAS HAD A SEXUAL ASSAULT REVIEW TEAM. I FELT LIKE BRINGING THOSE INDIVIDUALS INTO THE STATUTE THERE IS ONLY JUST A HANDFUL MAYBE THREE OR FOUR POSITIONS THAT ARE LISTED IN THAT THERE.
THAT NEED TO BE FILLED. AND AS I STATED BEFORE I WOULD LOVE FOR US TO MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS, NOT APPOINTMENTS, BUT RECOMMENDATIONS TO THOSE FOLKS WHO ARE ON THE EXISTING SO FOR YOU TO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW THAT WILL BRING THOSE INDIVIDUALS WHO WILL BE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT, THE BA , WHO HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THOSE ISSUES AND THOSE OFFICES WHICH ARE LISTED CURRENTLY. HERE IS A COMPLETE LIST OF ALL OF THE MEMBERS AND THE FOLKS WHO HAVE BEEN WORKING WITHIN THE COUNTY.
IT HAS BEEN OVER A DECADE AND THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE. I WANTED TO BRING THIS TO YOU TODAY, OPPORTUNITIES TO YOU. I HAVE HEARD FROM A COUPLE DIFFERENT MEMBERS ABOUT THE COURT SENDING AND RECOMMENDATIONS TO REFER TO THEM.
WHAT I WOULD LOVE TO SEE IS THE SART ITSELF ONCE WE GET THOSE BASE INDIVIDUAL OFFICES REPRESENTED I WOULD ASSUME THEY WOULDN'T LOOK AT THE OVERALL CURRENT MEMBERSHIP AND TAKE ANY RECOMMENDATIONS WE WOULD HAVE UNDER ADVISEMENT. BECAUSE THERE IS NOT A LIMIT ON THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE BUT THE SPECIFIED ROLES I THINK THOSE INDIVIDUAL ROLES THAT ARE SPECIFIED IN THE STATUTE THOSE ARE ONES THAT REALLY ARE DICTATED BY OFFICE AND WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO FILL THOSE PRETTY EASILY GIVEN THE FACT THAT WE ALREADY HAVE PEOPLE
[01:10:04]
DOING THOSE JOBS. THE COMPLETE LIST OF THE FOLKS THAT HAVE BEEN WORKING ON IT I WOULD LIKE TO PASS THOSE OUT.>> I DO HAVE DONE SOME WORK AS WELL. I APPRECIATE THIS.
THIS IS WONDERFUL. I HAVE A FEW SUGGESTIONS AND I'M GLAD YOU REMINDED US THERE IS NO LIMIT ON THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE. WE REACHED OUT TO MELISSA AS AN INDIVIDUAL THESE FOLKS ARE WILLING TO SERVE AS CHIEF AND INITIATOR OF THE SEXUAL ASSAULT PROGRAM THAT PROVIDES SERVICES TO THE COUNTY. THEN, HE IS A PROSECUTOR.
I UNDERSTAND THIS TO BE A GREAT CONTRIBUTION TO THE TEA. I ALSO HAVE THE NAME OF SERGEANT EUGENE FROM THE HAYS COUNTY COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE AS A GREAT RECOMMENDATION .
AND TWO MORE, JENNIFER WICKER ALSO WILLING TO DO THE WORK. AND SHE DOES MENTAL OR BEHAVIORAL HEALTH PROVIDED WITHIN THE COUNTY, AS WELL. OF COURSE, JERRY, WE CANNOT FORGET HER AS ONE OF THE ADDITIONAL PEOPLE TO SERVE ON THIS BODY.
THOSE ARE THE NAMES I WOULD LIKE TO THIS COURT OF RECORD HAVE A DOCUMENTED AS MY SUGGESTIONS IN THE PROCESS.
>> JUDGE, I WOULD CLARIFY IF YOU LOOK AT THE STATUTE THOSE ARE NOT, IF THERE'S NOT NECESSARILY PROCESS FOR US TO MAKE NOMINATIONS AND APPOINT INDIVIDUALS TO THOSE ROLES.
IF YOU LOOK AT THE STATUTE AND LIST OUT A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE HIGHEST INDIVIDUAL IN LAW ENFORCEMENT, A REPRESENTATIVE, SO I'M RELATED TO THOSE DEPARTMENT HEADS TO MAKE THOSE SELECTIONS. FOR THOSE INDIVIDUALS SPECIFIED ROLES AND THEN IT LIKE I SAID WE ALREADY HAVE PEOPLE DOING THIS. BE GREAT TO HAVE ADDITIONAL INDIVIDUALS AND I THINK THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS WOULD BE GREAT TO TAKE UNDER ADVISEMENT.
I WOULD NOT WANT TO INSERT A POLITICAL PROCESS INTO THE OVERALL PROCESS WHICH THESE FOLKS HAVE BEEN WORKING ON IT FOR SO LONG. I AM SURE THEY WOULD WELCOME EXTRA HANDS.
>> COMMISIONER INGALSBE, ANY COMMENTS, QUESTIONS, CONCERNS?
>> NO, I DON'T HAVE ANY BUT I WILL BE THINKING, I DID NOT REALIZE THAT WE WERE MAKING SUGGESTIONS TODAY. BUT, ANYWAY.
>> IS A STATE EFFORTS THAT WE ARE A LITTLE BEHIND ON. WE ARE TRYING TO PUSH IT THROUGH AND GET CAUGHT UP ON. AGAIN, WE ARE NOT NEGLECTING ANYONE OR ANYTHING IT'S JUST I THINK I MIGHT BEGIN I WANT TO CLEAR MY SLEEP.
>> ONE THING I WOULD SAY WE HAVE INCLUDED WE HAVE BEEN VERY PROACTIVE.
THERE ARE A LOT OF COUNTIES WHO HAVE NOTHING RELATED TO SART. IN THE PAST THERE HAS NOT BEEN RECORDED REQUIREMENT OF WHO THAT ENTITY WOULD REPORT TO. SO WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE STATUTE AND THE RESOLUTION THAT IS ATTACHED BROUGHT FORTH INITIALLY IF YOU READ THROUGH THAT LENS PRETTY WELL AND I THINK MR. KENNEDY FOR HEARING TO THE INDIVIDUAL STATUTE WE DRAFTED THAT. IT DOES A GOOD JOB OF OUTLINING WHAT THE DUTIES ARE.
I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO THEM AGAIN WORKING. IF YOU LOOK STATEWIDE WE ARE PROBABLY IN THE FIRST 15 TO 20 PERCENT I'VE DONE A QUICK REVIEW OF THE COUNTIES WILL ADDRESS THIS MANDATE. AS YOU ALL KNOW WE GET UNFUNDED AND VARIOUS MANDATES.
I COMMEND THE COUNTY FOR STEPPING UP AND ADDRESSING SOME OF THESE.
>> COMMISIONER SMITH, DID YOU SAY THIS IS A LIST OF EVERYBODY THAT'S CURRENTLY WORKING?
>> EVERYONE CURRENTLY ON THE TEA. TEAM.
I WANTED TO CALL THEM OUT IN PUBLIC AND APPRECIATE THEIR EFFORTS FOR THE CONTINUED SUPPORT THEY HAVE PROVIDED OUR COUNTY FOR THINGS THAT ARE IN MOTION.
MR. KENNEDY, COULD WE PUSH OFF ON THIS AND CLEAR OUR PLATES A LITTLE BIT? BECAUSE THAT'S HOW I FEEL AND FINALIZE THE EMPLOYMENT DESIGNATIONS THERE SOME OTHER CHANNEL?
>> NO OFFENSE BUT I BROUGHT THIS UP INITIALLY AND MY INDECISION WAS TO HAVE INDIVIDUAL OUTREACH TO ANY ONE OF THESE SART MEMBERS AND ASK THEM ABOUT THEIR CONTINUED SERVICE, TAKE ANY RECOMMENDATIONS THAT ANYONE ELSE MIGHT HAVE IN THE PRESENT THOSE TO THE INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE DESIGNATED BY STATUTE FROM THOSE INDIVIDUAL OFFICES AND
[01:15:06]
THEN IT WOULD BE MY ANTICIPATION THAT IF YOU LOOK AT THE RESOLUTION THERE ARE SPECIFIED POSITIONS UNDER THE STATUTE THAT WE WOULD APPOINT THE RECOMMENDATION OF THOSE INDIVIDUAL DEPARTMENT HEADS AS THEIR REPRESENTATIVE AND ANY OVERALL SART ITSELF THEY WOULD REVIEW THAT AND BRING BACK A COMPLETE LIST OF MEMBERS AND WE WOULD APPROVE THE LIST AS PRODUCED BY THE SART ITSELF INSTEAD OF DOING IT APPOINTMENTS.I WOULD ANTICIPATE DOING THAT AT OUR NEXT MEETING. OUTREACH TO A NUMBER OF FOLKS ON THIS LIST. I WANT TO CONFIRM THEY WANT TO CONTINUE SERVING AND IF THERE ARE OTHERS I AM MORE THAN HAPPY ONCE WE GET THOSE INDIVIDUAL REPRESENTATIVES THAT ARE MANDATED HAVE THEM REVIEW AND MAKE THE TEAM AS BIG AS POSSIBLE, IF NEED BE.
>> BUT I WOULD RECOMMEND IS THAT YOU HAVE SIX POSITIONS HERE.OME OF THEM ARE REALLY DEBATABLE. TWO OF THEM CAN DESIGNATE SOMEONE OTHER THAN THEMSELVES.
THEY HAYS COUNTY SHERIFF AND ANY CHIEF COULD BOTH DESIGNATE SOMEONE PRESUMABLY WITHIN THEIR OFFICE WHO REPRESENTS THEIR POST THERE ON THE SART. THEN YOU HAVE CHIEF ADMINISTRATOR OF THE SEXUAL ASSAULT PROGRAM THAT PROVIDES SERVICES TO THE COUNTY THAT'S PROBABLY A VERY SHORT LIST. A PROSECUTOR WITH JURISDICTION OVER ADULT SEXUAL ASSAULT CASES I EXPECT YOU ALL WOULD ASK WHAT HIS OPINION IS AND WHO THAT IS WITHIN HIS OFFICE.
SO THAT'S PROBABLY A VERY SHORT LIST, AS WELL. AND THEN YOU HAVE THE LAST ONE SEXUAL ASSAULT NURSE EXAMINER AND THE LAST ONE IS A MENTAL OR BEHAVIORAL HEALTH PROVIDED FROM THE COUNTY BOTH SHORTLISTED. THEN YOU HAVE THIS ADDITIONAL SECTION THAT SAYS OTHER PERSONS THAT THE SART TEAM DEEMS NECESSARY FOR THEIR OPERATIONS.
>> THAT WOULD COME FROM A DEBT COMMITTEE.
>> I THINK JUDGE, PER YOUR SUGGESTION, YOU CAN HAVE A LIST OF OTHER NAMES THE COURTS THANKS BABY HAS EXPERTISE IN THE AREA OR INTEREST IN THE AREA.
THAT SART IS A FORM THEY CAN COME BACK AND SAY FOR AN INFORMATIONAL FOR THE COURSE WE'VE ADDED THESE NUMBERS BECAUSE WE BELIEVE THEY WITHHELD OUR FUNCTIONS.
>> PERFECT, THANK YOU MR. KENNEDY. IS THERE A WAY WE COULD PUSH OFF ON THIS? IS THERE EVER MET WE COULDN'T LEAVE VEDA ENOUGH BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND COMMISSIONERS EFFORTS OF ATTACHING MORE NAMES ON THE LIST.
IS THERE A WAY YOU SEE THAT THIS THING COULD BE MOTIONS AND CREATED NOW SO WE COULD AND THE THOUGHT PROCESS I'M FEELING THE PRESSURE OFF BEING BEHIND ON THE FORMATION?
>> I THINK YOU REALLY NEED TO PASS THIS RESOLUTION BUT IN ORDER TO DO THAT YOU NEED TO HAVE NAMES ON THE LIST. I THINK YOU BRING THAT BACK TO COURTS AS SOON AS YOU HAVE

>> WE HAVE A MOTION AND SECOND. COMMENTS?
>> THEY COULD OFFER A FEW MORE COMMENTS. THE CITY BELIEVES IT TO
[01:20:01]
CONTRACT OUT THE SERVICES FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT AND WE HAVE BEEN DOING A FLOODPLAIN FOR THEM.>> WE HAVE ENJOYED FLOODPLAIN MINISTRATION FOR THEM BEGINNING JANUARY 2021 AND WE BEEN PROVIDING SERVICES SINCE THEN. ALSO, YEARS PRIOR WE HAVE PROVIDED ASSISTANCE WITH THE CITY OF WIMBERLEY WHEN IT REQUESTED FOR THE ADMINISTRATION .
AS COMMISIONER SHELL MENTIONED ROUGHLY JUNE 2021 THE CITY OF WIMBERLEY LOSS OF THE SERVICES OF THEIR ON-SITE CONTRACTOR WHO INITIATED THEIR PROGRAM IS A SET COUNTY ASSENTED TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE AND ENDOSCOPES OF WORK FOR THE CITY OF WIMBERLEY WITHIN ITS JURISDICTION.THIS NEW AGREEMENT WHEN IT STILL COVERED THE BASES OF THE FLOODPLAIN ADMINISTRATION PROGRAM BUT AT THE TWO ELEMENTS FOR THE PROGRAM AT REGULATION NOT TO EXCEED A PERIOD OF 12 MONTHS. ONCE THAT PERIOD OF 12 MONTHS PASSES AND THE COUNTY WILL REEVALUATE ANOTHER AGREEMENT TO ENTER INTO SHOULD ONE PARTY OR THE OTHER NOT TERMINATE THE CONTRACT WITH AN AGREEMENT PRIOR TO THAT.
>> IN THE PIECE MANAGING THE FLOODPLAIN FOR THE VIEWING PUBLIC WOULD YOU SAY WE WOULD HAVE THE JURISDICTION CONTROL OVER THE CITY OF WIMBERLEY'S FOOD A VENDOR STATISTIC
>> IN SUMMARY, THEY ARE WORKING ON BEHALF OF THE CITY THE RULES AND REGULATIONS FOR THOSE SCOPES OF WORK AND THOSE SERVICES.
>> WHERE ELSE HAVE WE DONE THAT?
>> WE DID SIMILAR WORK TO THAT EFFECT NOT NECESSARILY WORKING IN IT CITY REGULATIONS WE DIFFERENT REGULATIONS. WHAT WE'RE DOING WITH THE CITY OF WIMBERLEY IS A UNIQUE AND TO MY KNOWLEDGE WE HAVE NOT HAD AN INSTANCE IN THE PAST WHERE WE WENT ON BEHALF OF THE CITY FOR THE RULES AND REGULATIONS.
>> I'M LOOKING AT THIS TO BE LENS I KNOW I REPRESENT GOVERNMENT BUT WHAT I DON'T WANT TO DO IS OVERBURDEN SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS WITH LAYERED BUREAUCRACIES.
THERE IS NO BETTER WAY TO SAY IT. THAT IS THE LENS THROUGH WHICH I'M ASKING THESE QUESTIONS. I DON'T WANT TO HAVE SOMEONE SAYING YOU PASS OF THE HAYS COUNTY THRESHOLD BUT NOW I WILL COME BACK WITH WIMBERLEY THRESHOLDS.
I WANT TO BE PREDIGITAL AND CONSISTENT AND I KNOW COMMISIONER SHELL HAS THE SAME SENTIMENT. MY HOPE IS IN THIS EFFORT WE DON'T ACCIDENTALLY CREATE SOME DOUBLE-BLIND THAT WAS PEOPLE IN A CORNER AND GENERATES UNNECESSARY FRUSTRATION FOR FOLKS.
>> I WILL STEP IN. THE STATE SHOULD BE DOING THESE THINGS.
IN IT THE PERFECT WORLD IS A CITY PASSES ORDINANCES A CITY SHOULD PROVIDE FOR THE ENFORCEMENT OFTHOSE ORDERS ORDINANCES , IN MY OPINION. IN THIS CASE, THE CITY CONTRACTED WITH AN INDIVIDUAL THAT DID INSPECTIONS PROBABLY AN ENGINEER, I AM ASSUMING, I THINK HE ALSO THEIR OSS. HE DID THIS FOR SEVERAL JURISDICTIONS.
WHEN HE LEFT THE CITY WAS LEFT WITH NO ONE TO PERFORM THOSE INSPECTIONS.
SO THEY ASKED FOR THE TIME BEING AT THE COUNTY WOULD PERFORM THEM.
WE SAID WE WILL BUT YOU WILL HAVE TO HAVE AN AGREEMENT AND YOU HAVE TO PAY THE COUNTY A CERTAIN SUM TO OFFSET THE COST OF DOING THAT. WE HAVE BEEN ENJOYING THE FLOODPLAIN AND MARCUS AND MR. KENNEDY COULD GET INTO THE DETAILS OF THE REQUIREMENTS IN THE CITY DOES NOT PROVIDE THE SERVICES. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN THE COUNTY HAS TO FOR THE MOST PART WE DO NOT HAVE A CHOICE. NOW, WE DON'T HAVE TO ENFORCE THE CITY SORENESS I WOULD MAKE THAT ASSUMPTION. BUT WE HAVE TO ENFORCE OUR OWN.
EVEN IF THE CITY SAID WE DON'T HAVE ANYONE INSPECTING ANYTHING WE ARE VANITY DEFAULT RULEMAKING AUTHORITY FOR THOSE AND THEREFORE IT WOULD BE LEFT WITH THE RESPONSIBILITY TO DO INSPECTIONS, IS THAT CORRECT? AND IN THIS CASE, WHEN THE CITY LOST THEIR INSPECTOR THEY ASKED RUSS TO DO IT. I STILL BELIEVE THE BEST THING TO HAVING THAT IF THE CITY IS GOING TO HAVE ORDINANCES PROVIDE FOR THE ENFORCEMENT OF THOSE ORDINANCES.
THOSE INITIALS ALLEGED THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL AND HAVE MORE DIRECT COMMUNICATION WITH THEM AND HOW THE CITY IS RUN AND YOU HAVE ZONING ISSUES AND ALL THESE THINGS THAT CITIES DO IF YOU WILL WRAP THAT UP I THINK IS IN THE BEST INTEREST FOR THE CITY TO PROVIDE THE SERVICES.
[01:25:04]
THE LONG TERM, I THINK IS SOMETHING WE WILL CONTINUE TO TALK TO THEM ABOUT.THERE MAY BE A TIME I THINK IT'S PROBABLY THE WAY THE CITY IS STAFFED AND CURRENTLY DOES NOT HAVE A PROPERTY TAX SO EVERYTHING IS FUNDED THROUGH A SALES TAX.
ONCE THEY GET TO A POINT WHERE ONE INDIVIDUAL CAN HANDLE ALL THOSE THINGS IT BECOMES IN THE BEST INTEREST FOR THAT TO HAPPEN BUT THAT REQUIRES A BROAD LEVEL OF EXPERIENCE JUST ONE INDIVIDUAL THAT NEEDS TO GO GET TRAINED AND CERTIFIED IN THE FLOODPLAIN AND FOOD INSPECTION, ETC. OBVIOUSLY WE HAVE AN INDIVIDUAL TO DO THAT BUT IT TAKES TIME.
THERE'S A POINT WHEN THE CITY HAS THE VOLUME OF WORK AND AN INDIVIDUAL WHO IS TRAINED TO DO ALL THAT IN-HOUSE THAT IN THE BEST INTEREST OF EVERYONE. BUSINESS OWNERS, CITIZENS, CITY, COUNTY FOR THAT TO BE THE GOAL.
>> OVERALL THE PROCESS, RIGHT? DIFFERENT BOOK, OKAY I AM NOW COMING TO THE CITY.
>> YES, IT WILL BE US ENFORCING THEIR ORDINANCES FOR THEM. THEY WILL NOT BE DOING IT.
FOR THE SAKE OF A FLOODPLAIN I AM SURE THEY HAVE A REVIEW. THEY HAVE SIMILAR TO OUR AGREEMENTS AND EVERYTHING ELSE THEY WILL HAVE THE ABILITY TO REVIEW THAT.
BUT AS FAR AS ADDITIONAL RULES THIS DOESN'T ALLOW FOR ANY ADDITIONAL RULES, ORDINANCES OR LEVELS OF ENFORCEMENTS. THERE HAS BEEN AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE FROM THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY ANYTIME YOU CHANGE THOSE INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE DOING INSPECTIONS THERE ARE SOMETIMES CHANGES THAT ARE VERY NICE. ARE NOT VERY NICE.
>> I WANT TO MAKE SURE OUR COUNTY EMPLOYEE REPRESENTING CITY OF WIMBERLEY WHILE SOME OF THE HIGHEST THRESHOLD, MOST LIMITING AGENT OF THE POLICYMAKING TO COME WITH THAT UP FRONT AND CENTER VERSUS SAYING WELCOME COMING AS A COUNTY WELLNOW WILL BE MORE RESTRICTIVE . I WANT TO BE FORTHCOMING WITH ALL INTERACTIONS AND IF IT WIMBERLEY AS OF COURSE IT SHOULD BE IS MOST RESTRICTIVE AND POLICY THEN WE COME IN WITH THAT THRESHOLD IN MIND WE DON'T TEETER TOTTER BETWEEN AGENCIES.
>> OUR STAFF HAS FOLLOWED ACCORDINGLY. WHERE THERE IS GAS TO BE FILLED WHERE BUSINESSES ARE NOT AWARE OF THESE SITUATIONS AND RELATIONS WE CAN PROVIDE THAT SERVICE AT THE SAME TIME AND HELP EDUCATE AND WORK WITH THOSE BUSINESSES TO GET TO THAT LEVEL OF COMPLIANCE.
>> I WAS GOING TO SAY THERE IS SOME OF RESIDENT AND OTHER AREAS WITH 1445 AGREEMENTS.
WE HAVE A ONE-STOP SHOP FOR PLANNING AND SUBDIVISIONS. IT'S USUALLY THE MOST STRINGENT RULE APPLIES AN AGENCY WHETHER IT'S AS OR THE MUNICIPALITY DOING IT THAT AGENCY GROWTH THE CUSTOMS TO ENFORCING THE MOST STRINGENT RULES AND SEAMLESS. IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE A TWO-STAGE PROCESS. THEN I THINK WE DO HAVE SOME PRECEDENTS.
I DON'T NECESSARY WANT IT WHEN ABSENCE ABOUT WHEN THE CONSTABLE OFFICE IS ENFORCING LOCAL ORDINANCES AND CODES AND SOMETIMES THEY CAN GET INTO SOME PRETTY DETAILED STUFF WITH MUNICIPAL CODES.
>> AS FAR AS ENFORCEMENT DOES THAT INCLUDE FINES OR ALSO PERMITS?
>> AS FAR AS I KNOW IT'S ISSUING PERMITS. I DON'T KNOW IF OUR AREA WOULD COVER ISSUANCE OF FINES.
>> THE PROCESS THEY USE IS USUALLY A NOTICE OF VIOLATION AND AN EXTENSIVE PERIOD TO CURE. I THINK IT WILL BE THE SAME APPROACH WITHIN THE MUNICIPALITY THAT THEY HAVE IN THE COUNTY.
>> FINISH UNFORTUNATELY THE SAME PROCESS BUT OUTSIDE OF THAT PROCESS I AM NOT SURE.
>> JUDGE, THIS IS FOR CLARIFICATION BECAUSE AS I READ THE LAST SENTENCE IN THE SUMMARY IT SEEMS TO ME IT SAYS REQUESTS A COST OF 5000 PER MONTH TO THE CITY OF WIMBERLEY FOR THESE SERVICES. WE ARE PAYING THEM FOR THE SERVICES IN THE INTERLOCAL.
I DID READ WORDS THAT THEY ARE PAYING US TO PROVIDE THOSE SERVICES.
BUT THAT READS TO ME LIKE WE ARE PAYING THEM.
>> AS YOU STATED INDIVIDUAL AGREEMENT IS THE CORRECT PROCESS, COMMISSIONER.
>> I THINK THE THING I WILL REITERATE THIS AGAIN WHEN WE PCHANGE THE INSPECTORS THERE IS GOING TO BE A TIMEFRAME WHEN THE BUSINESSES NEEDED ROOM TO UNDERSTAND THAT AND CONSISTENCY IS THE KEY. I THINK THAT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT AS WE CONTINUED
[01:30:01]
THIS IS THAT WHETHER WE AGREE THAT PRIOR INSPECTIONS ARE DONE CORRECTLY OR NOT AS FAR AS THE BUSINESS GOES WE NEED TO HELP THEM TO GET INTO COMPLIANCE IF THERE ARE ISSUES BECAUSE THAT IS A DRASTIC CHANGE. CONSISTENCY IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO PATIENTS CONSISTENT ACROSS THE BOARD. AND THEN I WOULD REITERATE THAT IN THE FUTURE THAT ROLE IS BEST SUITED BY THE ACTUAL CITY AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THEM.WE HAVE A GREAT RELATIONSHIP AND GLAD TO HELP BUT WE KNOW OUR NEEDS ARE FULL.
UNINCORPORATED AREAS ARE EXTREMELY HARD TO KEEP UP IN THE EDUCATION OF OUR STAFF DOES TAKE A TOLL.
>> SO I LIKE THE LAST THING I WAS ANISE I LIKE HOW YOU AS A DEPARTMENT HEAD OF THIS EFFORT HAVE SAID THERE WILL BE AN EDUCATION PROCESS BEFORE COMING IN AND CHOPPING DOWN THINGS.
