[CALL TO ORDER]

[00:00:08]

>> JUDGE BECERRA: A VERY GOOD MORNING TO YOU.

I WOULD LIKE TO CALL THIS MEETING TO ORDER.

THIS MORNING'S INVOCATION WILL BE LEAD BY OUR VERY OWN COMMISSIONER MARK JONES, IF YOU'LL PLEASE ALL RISE.

>> FATHER GOD, WE THANK YOU FOR THIS DAY, WE THANK YOU HOW YOU BLESS US, ON THIS DAY WE ESPECIALLY ASK THAT YOU WILL BE WITH OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT.

WITH OUR THEIR FAMILIES AND THE PEOPLE THAT SERVE WITH THEM. FATHER, I ASK THAT YOU GUIDE US AS A COURT TODAY. GIVE US WISDOM THAT WE'LL MAKE GOOD AND RIGHT DECISIONS, AMEN.

>> AMEN. (PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE).

[PAUSE] >> PLEASE CALL THE ROLE.

>> HERE, WE HAVE ONE INDIVIDUAL SIGNED UP TO

[PUBLIC COMMENTS]

PLEASE START HIS TIMER. >> GOOD MORNING, JUDGE BECERRA AND COMMISSIONERS. I BELIEVE IT IS A FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA THAT WE THE SOVEREIGN CITIZENS THEREOF HAVE THE RIGHT TO LIFE, LIBERTY AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS. THERE IT IS, PLAINLY WRITTEN. WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO LIFE.

EVEN IF YOU BELIEVE IN DEMOCRACY WHICH THE FOUNDERS OF THIS COUNTRY LABELED THE RULE OF THE MOB, THE TAKING OF INNOCENT LIFE IS THE ULTIMATE ANTI-DEMOCRATIC ACT. IT SNUFFS OUT THE VOICES OF HUMANS WHO HAVE THE RIGHT TO LIFE AND TO BE COUNTED.

THIS IS WORSE THAN SLAVERY. LET US SUBMIT TO THE SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND. ON ANOTHER SUBJECT I WAS LOOKING AT THE COUNTY'S WEBSITE FOR THE JACOBS WELL NATURAL AREA, AS A CITIZENS OF HAYS COUNTY SINCE 159, I -- 1959 I REMEMBER HOW VACATION OBJECTS WELL USED TO BE, I NEVER KNEW TO WHOM IT BELONGED.

I THOUGHT IT BELONGED TO THE CREATOR.

AND IT WAS THERE TO BE ENJOYED BY ALL OF HIS CREATION. I WOULD TRAVEL TO THE WELL IN WINTER AND SUMMER AND THE WELL WAS ALWAYS THERE TO BE ENJOYED. IN SUMMER I WOULD SWIM WITH MY FRIENDS AND EVERYONE WOULD TAKE TURNS JUMPING OFF THE BIG ROCK. I REMEMBER THE DAY WHEN MY FRIEND DROPPED HIS KEYS IN THE WELL.

WE DIDN'T HAVE A WAY HOME. IN A DESPERATE ATTEMPT TO FIND THEM, I SWAM DOWN TO THE 30 FOOT LEVEL BUT I COULD NOT FIND THEM. I CAME UP WITH A BLOODY NOSE AND COULDN'T HEAR FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS.

THOSE DAYS ARE LONG GONE. I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY RESERVATION MUST BE MADE TO SEE JACOB'S WELL ON ACCOUNT OF ITS POPULARITY. WHAT I'M APPALLED AT IS HOW THE COUNTY FEELS IT HAS A RIGHT TO CHARGE ME $9 TO SWIM IN A PARK WHICH I PAID FOR.

DO YOU THINK YOU ARE GOD? I GUESS NOT BECAUSE HE NEVER CHARGED ME. I WOULD SAY YOU WERE ON THE OTHER END OF THE SPECTRUM. MAN MAKING HIMSELF GOD.

I BELIEVE THAT'S CALLED ANTI-CHRIST IN THE BIBLE.

BUT ANYWAY, THAT'S ANOTHER SUBJECT.

DUE TO THE RECENT INCREASES IN OUR ASSESSMENTS OF OUR PROPERTY, WE KNOW THAT YOU ARE NOT GOING TO LOWER THE TAX RATE LOW ENOUGH TO MAKE THIS REVENUE NEUTRAL.

YOU CONTINUE TO TAKE MORE AND MORE AND MORE OF OUR MONEY AND TO ME, IT LOOKS LIKE THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF WHAT YOU ARE DOING IS CONFISCATION OF ALL PERSONAL PROPERTY. THIS HAS GOT TO STOP.

NOT ONLY IS ALL OUR MONEY TAKEN THEN WE HAVE TO PAY FOR WHAT WE HAVE ALREADY PAID FOR.

THIS IS JUST WRONG. IT'S CALLED THIEFRY.

IT MUST STOP. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

[1. Adopt a Proclamation recognizing May 9-13, 2022 as Economic Development Week. BECERRA]

ADOPTED THIS, THE 10TH DAY OF MAY, 2022.

>> JUDGE BECERRA: I WILL SAY WE HAVE LOST A VERY -- I'M SO GRATEFUL TO HAVE SAID THIS.

TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO SAY THIS, DEAR FRIEND MENDEZ IN OUR COMMUNITY AND THIS REMINDS ME OF MENDEZ BECAUSE HE WAS AND ANOTHER THAT ASKED ME TO JOIN THE BOARD WAY BACK WHEN. AND THEIR MESSAGE WAS ALWAYS ABOUT PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND WHATEVER, AND THEY WERE ALWAYS GETTING GRILLED ABOUT YOU ARE PROMOTING AND SUPPORTING MANIPULATE WAGE JOBS -- MINIMUM WAGE JOBS FOR OUR PEOPLE AND I'LL NEVER FORGET IT. THE RESPONSE TO THAT EFFORT WAS, WELL, I WOULD RATHER OUR PEOPLE, I WOULD RATHER OUR PEOPLE STAY HOME FROM MINIMUM WAGE JOBS IN OUR COMMUNITIES VERSUS HAVING TO DRIVE TO AUSTIN FOR MINIMUM WAGE JOBS, IT'S A WIN NO MATTER HOW YOU TURN IT AND NONE EVER THE THINGS WE PROMOTE ARE MINIMUM WAGE JOBS BUT EVEN AT THE LOWEST THRESHOLD WHICH IS COMPLETELY UNTRULY IT IS A PLUS FOR OUR COMMUNITY.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT HAS AND ALWAYS WILL BE A PLUS FOR OUR COMMUNITY. AND IF SOMEONE DOESN'T SEE IT THAT WAY, THERE ARE OTHER COUNTIES THAT MAY FOLLOW YOUR PHILOSOPHY AND YOU CAN SEE THEIR PROGRESS OR LACK THEREOF. AND ALSO AS A FORMER CHAIR OF THE MAIN STREET ADVISORY BOARD, I WOULD ALWAYS GET TOURS OF OTHER CITIES AND HOW THEY WERE DOING.

PEOPLE WOULD ALWAYS SAY, OH, SAN MARCOS, YOU HAVE A PARKING PROBLEM, DOWNTOWN, I NEVER WANT TO GO DOWNTOWN.

I WOULD ALWAYS RESPOND, I WOULD RATHER HAVE A PARKING PROBLEM THAN NOT HAVE A PARKING PROBLEM.

THERE ARE OTHER CITINGS THAT YOU CAN EASILY GO TO THAT HAVE NO PARKING PROBLEM BUT, USUALLY YOU DON'T WANT TO GO THERE. SO I DON'T WANT TO KEEP GOING ABOUT IT BUT I'M A BIG FAN AND BIG SUPPORTER OF ALL THINGS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND I'M GRATEFUL FOR THIS PROCLAMATION. ANY --

[2. Presentation by Texas Workforce Commission about Vocational Rehabilitation Services. BECERRA]

>> NUMBER 2, PRESENTATION BY TEXAS WORK FORCE COMMISSION ABOUT VOCATIONAL REHABILITATION SERVICES.

>> GOOD MORNING. MY NAME IS GIOVANNI AND I'M THE COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND AWARENESS SPECIALIST FOR VOCATIONAL REHABILITATION, I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO MEET YOU, JUDGE AT THE RIBBON CUTTING AT THE WORK FORCE.

VOCATIONAL REHABILITATION IS A STATE AGENCY THAT SERVES INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES.

WE HELP INDIVIDUALS THAT NEED HELP GETTING A JOB, KEEPING A JOB OR ADVANCING IN A JOB.

WE MEET PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES WHEREVER THEY ARE. A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY.

VOCATIONAL REHABILITATION HAS BEEN AROUND FOR OVER 102 YEARS. IT'S AVAILABLE IN EVERY STATE. IT'S A FEDERAL PROGRAM.

AND IT'S CALLED DIFFERENT THINGS IN DIFFERENT PLACES AND MY POSITION DIDN'T HAPPEN UNTIL TWO YEARS AGO BECAUSE WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL NAME CHANGES IN THE STATE OF TEXAS. SO WE USED TO BE CALLED TEXAS REHAB. COMMISSION IN THE OLD DAY THEN WE'RE D.A.R.S., DEPARTMENT OF ASSISTIVE AND REHABILITATIVE SERVICE BUT WE'RE PART OF TEXAS WORK FORCE SOLUTIONS.

WE'RE A DIVISION UNDER TEXAS WORK FORCE DIVISIONS AND HERE LOCALLY WE WERE AT THE RIBBON CUTTING THAT HAPPENED NOT TOO LONG AGO IN SAN MARCOS.

SO WE'RE GLAD TO BE PART OF TEXAS WORK FORCE SOLUTIONS.

WE SERVE INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE DISABILITIES BUR NOT DISABLE -- BUT ARE NOT DISABLED OR INDIVIDUALS, A LOT OF TIMES, DON'T CONSIDER THEMSELVES DISABLED.

PEOPLE ARE BORN WITH DISABILITIES AND PEOPLE ACQUIRE DISABILITIES AS THE NATURAL AGING PROCESS HAPPENS. I MYSELF HAVE HAD TO START WEARING A C. PAPP, I'VE CARPAL TUNNEL.

I'VE ARTHRITIS IN MY KNEES, THEY SAY IT'S ONE OF THE BIGGEST DISABILITIES THAT AFFECTS PEOPLE AND THEIR ABILITY TO TO THEIR JOBS. VOCATIONAL REHABILITATION IS HERE TO HELP INDIVIDUALS CONTINUE WORKING FOR AS LONG AS THEY WANT TO WORK. WE START WITH INDIVIDUALS AGE 14, AND START WORKING WITH THEM IN THE SCHOOLS TO HELP THEM DECIDE WHAT CAN THEY DO ONCE THEY GRADUATE HIGH SCHOOL SO THEY'RE NOT SITTING AT HOME ON MOM'S SOFA, THEY'RE OUT THERE BEING PRODUCTIVE MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY. AS FAR AS I ONCE HELPED A WOMAN IN HER 80S WHO WAS WORKING AS A PRIVATE SITTER WHO NEEDED CARPAL TUNNEL SURGERY AND WE PROVIDED THE SURGERY AND SHE WENT RIGHT BACK TO WORK.

SO WE SERVE INDIVIDUALS OF EVERY AGE THAT WANT TO WORK IN THE STATE OF TEXAS AND CONTINUE TO BE PRODUCTIVE.

SO AGAIN I JUST WANT TO TELL YOU ABOUT VOCATIONAL REHABILITATION, LET YOU KNOW WE'RE AVAILABLE IN EVERY COUNTY AND IN THE STATE OF TEXAS AND NATIONALLY, AND I WAS HOPING MAYBE YOU WOULD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

>> JUDGE BECERRA: THANK YOU SO MUCH.

I'M GENUINELY GRATEFUL TO PUT THIS PRESENTATION ON THE AGENDA. IT'S ABSOLUTELY DIRECTLY IN LINE WITH THE PREVIOUS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PART.

I'M GRATEFUL THAT YOU ARE HERE.

COMMISSIONERS? >> I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR COMING SHARING -- I KNEW THERE WERE PROGRAMS OUT THERE, BUT TO THIS EXTENT, YOU KNOW, AND FOR US TO HAVE THAT INFORMATION TO SHARE WITH OTHERS THAT MAY NEED THIS ASSISTANCE IS WONDERFUL.

THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. >> WE HAVE A CALL CENTER NOW

[00:15:02]

WE ARE A STATE AGENCY. SO THERE'S A PROCESS FOR ELIGIBILITY AND WE DO A LOT OF ASSESSMENT AND PLANNING TO TRY AND DETERMINE WHAT THAT PERSON'S GOAL IS.

WE DON'T PIGEON HOLE THEM INTO WHAT WE THINK WOULD BE A GOOD GOAL FOR THEM. WE FIND OUT WHAT THEIR INTERESTS ARE AND WHAT IT IS THEY WANT TO DO AND SOMETIMES IF THEY'RE STILL WORKING, IT'S A MATTER OF HELPING THEM BE ABLE TO KEEP THEIR JOB OR SOMETIMES IT'S THEIR WORKING BUT THEY'RE NOT ABLING TO ADVANCE IN THEIR JOB. WE HELP THEM WITH EDUCATION AND TRAINING SO THEY CAN ADVANCE IN THEIR JOB.

>> ARE YOU OUR LOCAL REPRESENTATIVE?

>> I AM THE PERSON FOR CENTRAL TEXAS.

I'M OUT OF THE REGIONAL OFFICE.

BUT I'M AVAILABLE FOR PRESENTATIONS.

MY JOB IS COMMUNITY OUTREACH.

>> WE CAN CONTACT THE LOCAL THROUGH THE INFORMATION THAT YOU GAVE US, THERE IS A LOCAL PERSON HERE FOR NEWS

IS.% >> YES, SIR, THERE IS ACTUALLY IN THE WORK FORCE CENTER HERE, WE HAVE 3 OR 4 COUNSELORS I BELIEVE. WE'VE STAFF AT THE WORK

FORCE CENTER HERE. >> I THINK IT'S GREAT THAT YOU STARTED IN THE SCHOOLS. SOME OF THESE ARE 100% GENTENT ON THEIR PARENTS AND THEY OUTLIVE THEIR PARENTS SO I APPRECIATE WHAT YOU ARE DOING, I LIKE TO CONTACT

CAUL. >> THANK YOU.

WE ALSO HAVE A STAFF PERSON AT YOUR LOCAL UNIVERSITY HERE THAT IS LOCATED AT THE UNIVERSITY TO HELP STUDENTS

ATTENDING. >> I WAS GOING TO FOLLOW UP.

A LOCAL NUMBER -- >> THAT IS THE CALL CENTER AND THEY CAN CALL THE WORK FORCE OFFICE HERE IN SAN MARCOS OR CALL THE CALL CENTER AND GET THE PROCESS STARTED. WHEN THEY CALL THE CALL CENTER, THEN THE CASE IS ASSIGNED BY ZIP CODE.

SO SAN MARCOS HAS ONE ZIP CODE SO THEY'LL GO TO THIS AREA. BUT THIS ALSO SERVES THE SURROUNDING AREA TO SAN MARCOS.
