SPEAK, MR. DAN LYON. >> THANK YOU, JESS ARE A.

I'VE -- JUDGE, I'VE BEEN HERE FOR PROBABLY 7 YEARS COMING FAIRLY REGULARLY. I'VE WATCHED THESE TWO YOUNG PEOPLE, COMMISSIONER INNING GELSBY AND COMMISSIONER SHELL GROW UP FROM PUPS. THAT IS JUST A FIGURE OF SPEECH. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE NO-KILL SHELTER. ANYWAY --

>> JUDGE BECERRA: WILL YOU ADJUST TO MIKE TO MAKE SURE THE AUDIENCE CAN HEAR YOU, MOVE IT TOWARD YOU THANK

YOU. >> SURE.

ANYWAY, THE GREATER SAN MARCOS PARTNERSHIP, THEY WILL RECEIVED $300,000 PER YEAR FROM HAYS COUNTY, AND MULTIPLE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FROM CITY OF SAN MARCOS AND VARIOUS CITIES AROUND THE COUNTY AND I BELIEVE THEY'RE THERE TO BRING IN BUSINESS AND EMPLOYERS AND SUCH AS THAT OF COURSE, THESE BUSINESSES GET TAX REBATES AND ABATEMENTS WHILE THE INFRASTRUCTURE FOR THEIR BUSINESSES OR EXPENSES FOR THAT ARE DUMPED ON THE PEOPLE OF HAYS COUNTY WHETHER THEY WORK THERE OR NOT.

THERE IS NO VOTE FOR THE PEOPLE OF HAYS COUNTY ON THE THING THAT THE GREATER SAN MARCOS PARTNERSHIP DOES AND I KNOW Y'ALL ARE GOING TO SAY, WELL THAT'S WHY WE NEED TWO REPRESENTATIVES ON THE GREATER SAN MARCOS PARTNERSHIP. I DON'T BELIEVE WE NEED THE GREATER PARTNERSHIP AT ALL. BUSINESSES WOULD COME HERE ANYWAY AND IF WE HAVE TO GIVE ABATEMENTS AND REBATES AND THINGS LIKE THAT TO BUSINESSES TO COME TO HAYS COUNTY, PERHAPS THEY DON'T BELONG HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE. SO I MEAN WE'VE SEEN BEST BUY FOLD. WHEN THEY DIDN'T GET THEIR SPECIAL TAXING ABILITY CONTINUED, WHAT NOT.

IT'S A LONG STORY,ALL KNOW THE STORY.

A BELIEVE A LOT OF THE OTHER BUSINESSES WOULD FOLD IF THEY WANT GETTING WHAMS TO SUBSIDY.

WE DON'T GIVE MONEY DIRECTLY BUT IT AMOUNTS TO GIVING THEM MONEY. SO WHY DO WE NEED THE GREATER SAN MARCOS PARTNERSHIP AND WHY SHOULD WE FEEL AN OBLIGATION TO HAVE 2 REPRESENTATIVES ON THEIR BOARD OR WHATEVER IT IS? ANY WAY.

-- >> JUDGE BECERRA: THAT'S A VERY GOOD POINT. SO ON THIS AGENDA ITEM AS IS AVAILABLE TO THE VIEWING PUBLIC IT DOESN'T HAVE THE DOLLAR AMOUNTS VISIBLE. DO YOU HAVE A GOAL?

>> IT'S, WELL, IT'S OVER A PERIOD OF 5 YEARS.

THE SO I DON'T KNOW. >> JUDGE BECERRA: YOU DON'T HAVE TO MISSPEAK WITH HER HERE.

>> IT'S ON THE AGENDA ITEM. IT'S PROVIDED AT $67,000

AEE, IS THAT CORRECT VICKY. >> YES, I THINK IT ACTUALLY IS A DIFFERENT AMOUNT EVERY YEAR.

IT'S $286,000 CONTRACT FOR A FOUR YEAR PERIOD.

$67,000 IS YEAR ONE BUT THERE IS A CLAUSE THAT YOU CAN TERMINATE AT ANY YEAR AS LONG AS IT'S DONE BY

FEBRUARY 1ST. >> JUDGE BECERRA: SO YES, COMMISSIONER, I WOULD REFERENCE NOT ON THE ITEM ITSELF FOR THE VIEWING PUBLIC, BUT THEN I LIKE THE POINT THAT YOU'VE MADE, CHIEF, ABOUT COUNTY WIDE SUPPORT BEHIND THIS WHICH IS REALLY USEFUL.

COMMISSIONER INGALSBE. >> I WAS GOING TO ADD, JUDGE, YOU KNOW, WE KNOW THAT A LOT OF TEXAS STATE STUDENTS AFTER THEY COME TO COLLEGE HERE THEY WANT TO STAY. BUT THEY ALSO DON'T BELIEVE THAT THE JOBS ARE AVAILABLE. I THINK THIS IS A WAY FOR US AS WAS STATED TO REUTE AND LET THEM KNOW THE OPPORTUNITIES THAT WE. I KNOW WE'VE BEEN LOOKING AT OUR POSITIONS VERY CLOSELY. WE'RE DOING THE STUDY AS YOU MENTIONED. I THINK THERE'S GOING TO BE ADJUSTMENTS THERE AND I THINK THAT PEOPLE CAN FIND THAT THEY CAN LIVE HERE AND WORK HERE AND JUST BE ABLE TO ENJOY THIS COUNTY AND HAVE A JOB THEY CAN DEPEND

[00:45:02]

ON. BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO BE USED FOR THE ENTIRE COUNTY AND I'M VERY GRATEFUL FOR THAT BECAUSE IT WAS FOCUSED FIRST ON THE SHERIFF'S OFFERS BECAUSE WE KNOW THEY HAVE SO MANY OPENINGS BUT WE'RE ALSO SEEING OPENINGS IN MANY OF OUR OFFICES.

AUDITORS IS ONE WE STRUGGLED WITH, ROAD DEPARTMENT.

SO I REALLY BELIEVE THIS CAN BE EXTREMELY HELPFUL FOR US.

AS VICKY MENTIONED WE WERE CONCERNED ABOUT A CONTRACT THAT WENT ON FOR SO LONG BUT IF WE DON'T SEE THE BENEFITS OF IT, WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO TERMINATE IF WE NEED TO.

>> JUDGE BECERRA: THAT'S VERY WELL DONE.

THERE ARE POINTS I'M SURE WITH TODAY'S TECHNOLOGY TO MEASURE THE IMPACT OF THAT EFFORT, RIGHT.

THAT THERE BE SOMETHING TO SAY THIS CAME BECAUSE OF THESE DOLLARS SPENT. SO LUCKY THAT YOU ARE WORKING WITH SHERRY BECAUSE SHE HAS THAT COUNTYWIDE LENS IN REFERENCE TO ALL THE POSITIONS.

CHIEF, THANK YOU FOR LEADING THE CHARGE ON THIS.

COMMISSIONERS, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE CHIEF.

THANK YOU.

>> JEFF MCGILL. INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY DIRECTOR. THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF US TURNING OVER OUR END OF LIFE LEGACY TO L TICKET WRITERS REPLACING THEM WITH THE I. O. S. DEVICES.

WE'RE PAIRING THE PROPOSES PRINTERS AND LICENSING WITH THE I. O. S. DEVICES AS WE PHASE OUT THE OLDER TICKET WRITERS. THIS WAS BUDGETED DURING THE BUDGET PROCESS. WE IDENTIFIED IT DURING THE BUDGET PROCESS THESE WOULD BE REPLACED BUT WE WERE WAITING FOR I. O. S. PLATFORMS TO BE COMPLETED BEFORE WE PURCHASED THESE DEVICES.

>> JUDGE BECERRA: WILL THIS ALLOW DEPUTIES TO USE

IPHONES TO WRITE TICKETS? >> YES, SIR.

>> JUDGE BECERRA: SO YOU KNOW, IF YOU SEE A POLICE OFFICER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH AN IKNOWN, THEY HAVE THE HIGH LIKELIHOOD TO BE WRITING OF TICKET.

ODD AS IT MAYBE BUT IT'S GOOD USE OF TECHNOLOGY.
