>> JUDGE BECERRA: COMMISSIONER INGALSBE.

>> THANK YOU, JUDGE, WELL, THIS IS REALLY AN EXCITING DAY TO HAVE THE ABILITIES TO FUND THIS ORGANIZATION TO MOVE THIS PROJECT FORWARD. LET ME TELL YOU IT HAS BEEN AN HONOR FOR ME AND A PLEASURE TO WORK WITH SUCH DEDICATED PEOPLE. I KEEP LOOKING AT ELLEN RICHARDS WHO IS HERE WITH UNITED WAY OF GREATER AUSTIN. BUT, YOU KNOW, JUDGE, I WAS LOOKING OVER SOME OF THE INFORMATION THAT WAS SENT TO US AS WE, COMMISSIONER SMITH AND I HAVE BEEN MEETING FOR OVER A YEAR NOW TRYING TO PREPARE THIS AGENDA ITEM, AND I WANTED TO READ A SHORT PARAGRAPH.

IT SAYS WE KNOW THAT CANCER IS THE NUMBER ONE KILLER IN CENTRAL TEXAS THAT UNINSURED PATIENTS ARE 6 TIMES MORE LIKELY TO BE DIAGNOSED WITH CANCERS WHICH ARE IDENTIFIED IN LATE STAGES. AND THAT THE FIVE YEAR LIVE EXPECT ANSWER FOR STAGE 4 BREAST CANCER IS JUST 27% COMPARED TO 99% LIFE EXPECTANCY FOR STAGE ONE BREAST CANCER. SO THE ADDRESSING CANCER TOGETHER COALITION IS TRYING TO WORK TO CHANGE THESE NUMBERS. YOU KNOW, WE ALWAYS TALK ABOUT OUR EMPLOYEES AND HOW IMPORTANT PREVENTIVE MEASURES ARE, AND THAT'S WHAT THIS IS.

IT WOULD GIVE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR WOMEN WHO OTHERWISE WOULD NOT HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY TO BE

[01:10:01]

SCREENED AND, YOU KNOW, GET ALL THE SERVICES THEY NEED AND SO, I GIST REALLY-- JUST REALLY LOOK FORWARD TO MOVING THIS FORWARD. AND ALTHOUGH I THINK THE COALITION IS REALLY INTERESTED IN TRYING TO ADDRESS ALL TYPES OF CANCERS, BUT THEY WANT TO START WITH BREAST CANCER FIRST.

SO MY COLLEAGUE HERE COMMISSIONER JONES, REMINDED ME THAT MEN ALSO GET BREAST CAMPED CANCER AND OTHER TYPES OF CANCERS THAT WILL BE DEALING WITH IN THE FUTURE YEARS. BUT YOU KNOW, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT ALSO AFFECTS MEN.

WE NEED TO KEEP THAT IN MIND ALSO.

BUT AGAIN ELLEN, THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR WORK AND YOUR DEDICATION.

IT HAS BEEN AN HONOR WORKING WITH YOU AND MY COLLEAGUES, COMMISSIONER SMITH AND MARK KENNEDY.

I KNOW YOU'VE DONE A LOT OF WORK.

ARDURRA HAS REALLY BEEN RIGHT THERE JUST TRYING TO -- WE'VE HAD SOME CHALLENGES I GUESS TRYING TO GET THIS CONTRACT TO BE WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE.

THERE ARE STILL SOME THINGS THAT WE'LL LOOK AT WHEN IT COMES TO PREMIUMS, BUT WE'LL WORK THROUGH THOSE CHALLENGES AND I KNOW THAT WE CAN GET WHERE WE NEED TO BE. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

>> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, I CAN'T TELL MY COLLEAGUE THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR WORKING WITH ME ON THIS. AND WHAT I THINK IS INTERESTING ABOUT THIS IS SEVERAL THINGS: NUMBER ONE, JUST THE SHEER NUMBER OF PEOPLE WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY WHO HAVE REACHED OUT WHO I WOULD SAY ARE NOT JUST COMMUNITY MEMBERS BUT COMMUNITY SERVANTS WHO ARE INTERESTED IN THIS PROJECT AND WHO HAVE' LOOKED AND REAL LEARNED WHAT THIS PROJECT IS DOING NOT ONLY I KNOW WE HAVEN'T MENTIONED IT YET BUT NOT IN THIS COUNTY BUT IT'S TRULY' REGIONAL PROJECT.

HOPEFULLY OUR PARTNERS CAN EXPLAIN THAT WHEN THEY GET UP BUT IT HAS BEEN PROBABLY 2 YEARS AGO SINCE WE STARTED WORKING ON THIS COMMISSIONER.

AND I CAN TELL YOU THE PERSISTENCE AND THE NEED NEVER GOES AWAY BUT THE PERSISTENCE TO TRY TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS PROJECT HAS BEEN GREAT.

YOU'VE DONE A GREAT JOB. I WOULD SAY THAT WHAT PEOPLE DON'T -- WE TALKED EARLIER ABOUT THE NEEDS THAT HAVE EXPRESSED THEMSELVES AFTER THE PANDEMIC.

WE TALKED SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THE HAYS CALDWELL WOMEN'S SHELTERMENT OF THE WE'VE HAD THOSE CONVERSATIONS RELATIVE TO MENTAL HEALTH NEEDS IN THE COMMUNITY.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT STUCK WITH ME WHEN WE'RE TALKING IS OVER THE NUMBER OF CONVERSATIONS WAS THE FACT THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T REMEMBER THAT THE, WHILE OUR EMERGENCY ROOMS WERE STILL OPEN AND THOSE THINGS DURING THE PANDEMIC, THERE WAS A LONG PERIOD WHERE HOSPITALS FOR GENERAL PURPOSE OR THE GENERAL WORK OF THOSE HOSPITALS, PREVENTIVE WORK THAT THEY DID, IT WAS UNAVAILABLABLE. WHAT WE'RE DOING TODAY WITH THIS PROJECT SPECIFICALLY ADDRESSES THE FACT THAT THOSE WOMEN OUT THERE WHO COULD NOT GET A MAMMOGRAM, WHO COULDN'T GET BREAST CANCER SCREENING BECAUSE THE HOSPITALS WERE CLOSED THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO GO OUT INTO THEIR COMMUNITIES, WITH, WITH THE FACILITY THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT AND ACTUALLY BRING THOSE SERVICES TO THE POPULATION THAT NEED THEM.

I DON'T -- I KNOW THAT Y'ALL PROBABLY HAVE SOME NUMBERS ON THE REDUCED NUMBER OF SCREENINGS DURING THE PANDEMIC, BUT IT REALLY STRUCK ME THAT THOSE AGAIN, THOSE PREVENTIVE THINGS OR THOSE MAINTENANCE HEALTHCARE NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY REALLY WEREN'T MET DURING THE PANDEMIC. JIVERLY BECAUSE OUR PROFESSIONALS DIDN'T HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET WITH THOSE FOLKS AND OUR FACILITIES WERE CLOSED.

AGAIN, THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER INGALSBE.

ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO WORK WITH YOU BUT IT'S ALWAYS GOOD TO SEE SOMETHING POSITIVE LIKE THIS AND TO KNOW WE'RE SPENDING THESE TAX DOLLARS IN A REALLY, WHAT I WOULD CONSIDER, VERY JUDICIOUS AND WELL MEANING

WAY. >> YOU KNOW, COMMISSIONER, YOU MENTIONED GETTING OUTS TO THE COMMUNITY PROVIDING THESE SERVICES. THE BIG PINK BUS, YOU KNOW, IS NOW IN FULL SERVICE. AND WE'RE VERY GRATEFUL THAT THAT BUS CAN GO OUT INTO THE COMMUNITY, JUDGE, AND PROVIDE THESE SCREENINGS FOR WOMEN AND MEN.

I ALSO WANT TO THANK DANIEL GEAR EURO WHO BROUGHT THIS TO OUR PRESENTATION AND SUSAN DAWSON WHO HAS BEEN INSTRUMENTAL AND HAS BEEN OUT THERE, YOU KNOW, WITH THIS INITIATIVE. SHE HAS BEEN A REALLY GREAT

PERSON TO WORK WITH. >> DOCTOR SMART AS WELL.

>> YEAH, THERE HAS BEEN SO MANY.

AND I KNOW THAT THERE HAVE BEEN TWO, I BELIEVE, WOMEN IN HAYS COUNTY THAT HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED NOW WITH BREAST CANCER. SO EVEN MORE REASON TO GET

[01:15:03]

THIS PROGRAM GOING BECAUSE WE NEED SOME HELP OUT THERE FOR THE WOMEN THAT NEED THIS SERVICE.

>> JUDGE BECERRA: THE UNITED WAY OF GREATER AUSTIN I'VE HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF LIVING HERE RAISING MY FAMILY HERE.

AND BOB KAT, ALL THE ABOVE, AND I'VE SEEN THE RIPPLES OF YOUR ORGANIZATION THROUGH OUR COMMUNITY SO MANY TIMES.

I'M JUST SO GRATEFUL THAT WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE BACK TO SOME ORGANIZATION LIKE, TO AN ORGANIZATION LIKE YOURS THAT GIVES SO MUCH.

GREATER AUSTIN IS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT BECAUSE WE'RE ABSOLUTELY OUTSIDE OF AUSTIN AND STILL CATCHING THE BENEFITS OF YOUR WORK. IF YOU DON'T MIND TAKING THE PODIUM I. STATING YOUR NAME AND TITLE FOR THE VIEWING PUBLIC GIVING US A FEW WORDS.

>> WHILE ELLEN COMES UP I WANT TO SAY AND WITH YOUR ORGANIZATION, I KNOW THAT IT JUST OPENS US UP TO EVEN MORE OPPORTUNITIES. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR WILLINGNESS TO PARTICIPATE WITH US ON THIS.

>> ABSOLUTELY, JUDGE, COMMISSIONERS, IT'S AN HONOR TO BE HERE WITH YOU, ELLEN RICHARDS, I'M WITH UNITED WAY FOR GREATER AUSTIN AND I'M IN, STARTING MY 6TH MONTH OF MY JOB LEADING THIS INITIATIVE ADDRESSING CANCER TOGETHER. I WANT TO JUST GIVE A BIG SHOUTOUT TO THE TEAM HERE IN HAYS COUNTY.

ERIC FROM ARDURRA, WE'RE BEV FRIENDS, MY NEW BEST FRIEND.

I WORKED WITH SEVERAL PEOPLE IN THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION AND EVERYBODY HAS BEEN EXCELLENT TO WORK W. I APPRECIATE THAT TOO SO MUCH. AS COMMISSION COMMISSIONER INGALSBE MENTIONED CANCER IS THE NUMBER ONE CAUSE OF DEATH IN CENTRAL TEXAS WHICH IS USUALLY IN TEXAS.

THAT'S NOT STATEWIDE. THE GOAL, OUR VISION IS TO CHANGE THAT TREND BY GETTING PEOPLE INTO SCREENING AND TREATMENT SO THEY CAN GET THE HELP THEY NEED AND GO ON TO LIVE PRODUCTIVE LIVES ARE LIVES AND CONTRIBUTE TO OUR COMMUNITIES, WE'RE STARTING WITH BREAST CANCER AS WAS MENTIONED IN WORKING IN HAYS, BASS TO HAVE AND WILLIAMSON COUNTIES AND THAT GIVES US A CHANCE TO USE A LOT OF THE AVAILABLE RESOURCES FIRST THEN BRING IN DOLLARS TO FILL THE GAP THAT'S WHAT THE FUNDING WILL DO IS FILL THE SCREENING AND TREATMENT GAP FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO OTHER RESOURCES.

WE HAVE ALREADY HELPED TWO WOMEN IN HAYS COUNTY WHO ARE ACTIVE, WHO ARE IN TREATMENT TODAY BECAUSE OF THE WORK WE'RE DOING. SO WITH THE SUPPORT FROM THIS COURT, WE'LL BE ABLE TO EXPAND THAT TO MORE WOMEN IN HAYS COUNTY. THE WAY IT WORKS IS LIKE A FUNNEL. SO I WANT TO GIVE A BIG CALLOUT TO THE COMMUNITY. WE NEED A LOT PEOPLE GETTING SCREENED FOR GETTING THEIR MAMMOGRAMS, THEIR PREVENTIVE MAMMOGRAMS, PEOPLE THAT GET DIAGNOSED THAT NEED FURTHER ANALYSIS, BECAUSE THEY HAVE AN UNUSUAL MAMMOGRAM AND THOSE WHO ARE DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER GET TREATMENT.

WE'RE HELPING WITH ALL PIECES OF THAT FUNNEL.

IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT FOR WOMEN AND MEN IN THE COMMUNITY TO KNOW THEY NEED TO GET THE SCREENINGS.

THERE WAS A QUESTION ABOUT THE DROP IN SCREENINGS DURING THE PANDEMIC. NATIONWIDE SCREENINGS DROPPED DOWN TO 40%. SO WE REALLY NEED PEOPLE TO GET OUT THERE AND GET SCREENED AND WE'LL BE WORKING WITH THE FOLKS HERE IF THIS COUNTRY AND THE GROUND WHO CAN HELP DO THAT OUTREACH AND GET PEOPLE IN THE PIPELINE. I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS BUT I REALLY APPRECIATE EVERYBODY'S WORK HERE TO BRING THE FUNDING TO REALITY.

>> JUDGE BECERRA: THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER?

>> I DON'T KNOW, ERIC, DID YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD?

>> I DO. I DON'T HAVE MUCH TO ADD OTHER THAN THE FACT THAT COMING UP WITH THE JUSTIFICATION FOR THIS, IS PRACTICALLY WROTE ITSELF BECAUSE THERE'S ACADEMIC STUDIES SHOWING THAT, YES, THERE WAS A CLEAR IMPACT FROM THE DECREASE IN SCREENINGS AND THAT YOU CAN ACTUALLY MITIGATE IT BY GETTING THIS TYPE OF SERVICE OUT THERE BEFORE THE COMMUNITY. SO, ELLEN AND HER TEAM ARE GOING TO DO A GREAT JOB. THAT'S ALL I GOT TO SAY

ABOUT THAT. >> JUDGE BECERRA: WELL SAID.

>> THANK YOU, ERIC. >> THE ONLY OTHER THING I WOULD SAY, AS WE DO THE SCREENINGS, AND I'LL TALK TO YOU AFTER COURT ABOUT IT, BUT WE ALSO HAVE ANOTHER NONPROFITS THAT PROVIDE ADDITIONAL TYPES OF JEANING OUT THERE. -- SCENING OUT.

THERE -- SCREENING OUT. THERE I WOULD LOVE TO SEE AS WE DO THIS EFFORT COUNTYWIDE IF WE COULD HAVE SOME EFFORT MONST THE NONPROFIT, LIONS CLUBS DO YOUTH IEXAMS AND EYE SCREENING, VISION SCREENING, THINGS LIKE THAT.

AND THEY'VE MOBILE UNITRAITS DO THAT.

IF WE COULD COORDINATE WITH THEM AND THE OTHERS THAT ARE PROVIDING THEM ALONG WITH OUR HATE DEPARTMENT FOR ALL THE OTHER SERVICES THAT WE HAVE OUT THERE, IT WOULD BE AMAZING IF WE COULD HAVE MORE -- I DON'T WANT TO SAY ROLLING ROD SHOW WITHIN OUR COMMUNITIES BUT IF WE CAN ADVERTISE THOSE EARLIER AND HAVE THEM THERE AND HAVE A

[01:20:01]

COORDINATION, I WITH WOULD LOVE TO HELP WITH THAT.

>> JUDGE BECERRA: WONDERFUL, MR. KENNEDY.

>> A COUPLE OF POINTS, THE CONTRACT THAT'S IN BACKUP IS NOT EXACTLY WHAT WOULD BE EXECUTED.

THERE WERE A COUPLE OF HOUSEKEEPING CHANGES.

FOR INSTANCE THE CORONAVIRUS STATE AND LOCAL FISCAL RECOVERY FUNDS PROGRAM HAS AN IDENTIFYING NUMBER FOR HAYS COUNTY THEN THERE IS AN IDENTIFYING NUMBER FOR SOME RECIPIENTS. THOSE WERE INSERTED IN THE AGREEMENT. THERE'S A UNIFORM GUIDELINE RATE FOR INDIRECT COSTS THAT IS 10%.

THAT WAS' GOING TO BE FOLLOWED BUT WE CITED THAT IN THE AGREEMENT AS WELL. SO IT'S NOT ANYTHING THAT WOULD HAVE SUBSTANCIVELY CHANGED WHAT IS IN BACKUP.

I WANTED TO NOTE THE >> JUDGE BECERRA: BETTER TO HEAR MORE THAN NOT ENOUGH. WE HAVE A MOTION, A SECOND,

LOTS OF CONVERSATION. >> JUST ON, IN THE MINUTES CAN WE MAKE THE CORRECTION THAT IT WAS COMMISSIONER INGALSBE AND MYSELF AND NOT COMMISSIONER SHELL AS A SPONSOR. THERE WAS A TECHNICAL ERROR.

WONDERFULLY, YES. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

UP REJECTING THEM? >> I WILL POINT OUT THAT IS IN PRECINCT 3679 THE PROJECT, WE ONLY HAD TWO BIDS ON THE PROJECT. BOTH OF THEM WERE WELL OUT OF ENGINEERS' ESTIMATES AND PART OF THE BID WAS A JOINT BID WITH WEMBLEY WATER SUPPLY TO REELECT UTILITIES WHICH WE BELIEVE ALSO DROVE UP THE PRICE.

SO I THINK OUR IDEA IS TO REBID THE PROJECT.

[01:25:02]

WEMBLEY WILL TAKE ON THEIR OWN UTILITY LOCATION INSTEAD OF US HAVING IT DONE AND REIMBURSING THAT.

IS IT UNIFYING WORK? >> THIS IS TO CREATE A COURT RECORD THAT IS SEARCHABLE AT SOME LATER DATE.

IT ALSO SERVES TO RATIFY THE FINALIZED AGREEMENT IF THERE WERE ANY MINOR CHANGES MADE AFTER APPROVAL.

>> JUDGE BECERRA: BEAUTIFUL. >> I JUST WANT TO -- THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. KENNEDY, FOR ITEM 13. I KNOW IT'S A LONG ITEM AND IT'S PRETTY EXPLANATORY AND IF YOU LOOK IN BACKUP, THERE IS A LOT OF BACKUP ON THAT ITEM.

I WANT TO SAY, THANK YOU, TO MR. KENNEDY AND HIS OFFICE BECAUSE I KNOW THESE I.L.A.'S AND THESE AGREEMENTS RELATIVE TO THE OR THE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENTS RELATIVE TO OUR PARKS AND OPEN SPACE BOND, THEY'RE NOT EASY. I KNOW THEY TAKE A LOT OF TIME. THERE IS A LOT OF PEOPLE INVOLVED AND I JUST KNOW IT HASN'T BEEN EASY AND I SINCERELY APPRECIATE YOU WORKING WITH THE MUNICIPALITIES AND PARTNERS ON THAT.

I'LL SAY ONE THING ON, YOU KNOW, THIS SKATE PARK PROJECT, I KNOW WE'VE DISCUSSED IT HERE BEFORE BUT IT STARTED A NUMBER OF YEARS AGO.

BEFORE IT CAME TO THE COURT AND BEFORE IT CAME TO POSAC.

THIS IS REALLY THE FINAL NAIL TO START CONSTRUCTION.

SO I KNOW THAT THAT COMMUNITY IS EXCITED AND I WOULD POINT OUT THAT WHILE ABOUT 666,000 IS THE FINAL AMOUNT TO ACQUIRE THE PROPERTY FOR PATRIOTS HALL, THE OVERALL AGREEMENT IS NOT TO EXCEED AGREEMENT OF $1.

5 MILLION SO THERE IS ADDITIONAL FUNDING IN THERE THAT WILL BE USED FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE FACILITIES THERE. I'M EXCITED FOR OUR COMMUNITY TO BE ABLE TO PAY OFF THE PROPERTY AND FOR HAYS COUNTY TO BE A PART OF THAT.

THAT IS HUGE FOR OUR VETERANS AND I'M EXCITED.

IT HAS BEEN A LONG PROCESS. I KNOWED FOLKS, PARTNERS ARE

EXCITED TOO. >> JUDGE BECERRA: I WILL BE GOING OVER WITH A SKATE BOARD AND TESTING IT MYSELF.

COMMENTS ON NUMBER 14. I'LL NOT BE ON THE SKATE BOARD. [LAUGHTER] OR I'LL BE VISITING THE LOCAL HOSPITAL.

I WANTED TO POINT OUT IN OUR I ITEM TO APPROVE THE ADDITIONAL SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS FOR WEMBLEY I. S.

D.: THIS WEEK THEIR BOARD WILL BE PRESENTED AS WELL.

THEY COULD CHOOSE TO GO WITH THE TWO.

JUST ONE OR NONE. I KNOW THEY'RE DOING THEY CAN TO TRY TO FIND WAYS TO THEIR BUDGET TO GET THE OFFICERS AT THEIR ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS, THAT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO THEM. I APPRECIATE ALL THE WORK THEY'VE BEEN DOING. THEY'VE BEEN A GREAT PARTNER AND APPRECIATE THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE DOING THE BEST THEY CAN TO FIND OFFICERS TO ASSIGN TO THE SCHOOLS.

[01:30:01]

>> JUDGE BECERRA: WELL SAID, IT'S CONSISTENT FROM THE COURT WE'LL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT OUR I.S.D.'S AND THE REQUESTS AND THE ACADEMY AS WELL.

WE STAND WITH OUR LEADERSHIP IN PROTECTING OUR SCHOOLS AND IN EVERY WAY AND I WANTED TO DOUBLE DOWN AND

REPEAT FOR EMPHASIS. >> YES, IT'S GREAT TO POINT OUT. WE HAVE A LONG STANDING PARTNERSHIP WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN THE COUNTY.

OTHERWISE EVERY SCHOOL IN THE COUNTY IS THE A PARTNERSHIP, IS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH OUR SHERIFF'S OFFICE, OUR AUD OF THOR MENTIONED ALSO ON FUNDING THAT WE'RE PROPOSING FOR THIS ONE TO FUND THESE, THE 50% OF THE OFFICERS OUT OF GENERAL FUND.

WE DISCUSSED USING ARPA FUNDS.

THAT'S SOMETHING WE NEED ARDURRA TO WORK ON T. MAY BE FOR THE ADDITIONAL OFFICERS FOR THE OTHER OFFICERS WE FUND THOSE THROUGH ARPA FUNDS IN A WAY TO BALANCE THE COTTS TO THE COUNTY BUT AT THIS POINT TO GET STARTED WEMBLEY IS WORKING TOWARDS TRYING TO GET THE OFFICERS PUT IN PLACE FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR WHICH IS APPROACHING VERY QUICKLY. I WOULD ASK THAT THE COURT APPROVE THE FUNDING OF THIS THROUGH OUR GENERAL FUND AND AS WE CONSIDER ADDITIONAL OFFICERS WE CAN CONSIDER

USING ARPA. >> JUDGE BECERRA: THANK YOU, AUDITORS OFFICE, PLEASE CALL THE ROLL.

>> J. 5. P. L. N. 1949-P. C., CALL FOR PUBLIC HEARING ON AUGUST 16, 2022, TO DISCUSS FINAL ACTION ON THE PROPOSED GLENN H. Q. O.T. H. MANN PROPERTIES SUBDIVISION LOT 39 REPLAT.

K. 1. >> K. 1 DISCUSSION ON STATUS OF SALARY STUDY AND APPROVAL OF MANAGEMENT ADVISORY GROUP INTERRACIAL INC. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SALARY

[K1. Discussion on status of salary study and approval of Management Advisory Group International, Inc. recommendations for salary study target markets. INGALSBE/MILLER]

STUDY TARGET MARKETS. >> THIS IS PURELY A DISCUSSION, MISS MILLER, YOU CAN TAKE THE PODIUM.

>> THANK YOU. >> I HAVE -- I HAVE AN E-MAIL SAYING THAT THE VIDEO IS DOWN SO -- WE CAN

LET -- >> JUDGE BECERRA: IS THERE SOME WAY TO VERIFY THAT, ROXANNE.

>> I WANT TO LET YOU KNOW. >> JUDGE BECERRA: THANK YOU.

WE CAN SEE IT. WE DON'T BELIEVE THAT.

JUST KIDDING. >> GOOD MORNING, COURT, SHERRY MILLER HAYS COUNTY H.R.DIRECTOR.

SO THIS IS A STATUS REPORT AND A DECISION MAKING TIME WITH OUR SALARY STUDY. WHERE WE ARE IS THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED JUST RECENTLY OUR HUGE DATA FILE OF ALL OF OUR EMPLOYEES AND POSITIONS AND SALARIES.

SO THAT IS KIND OF THEIR FOUNDATION TO BEGIN REALLY BEGIN THE SALARY STUDY. IN THE BACKGROUND, WE HAVE GIVEN THEM ORGANIZATIONAL CHARTS AND JOB DESCRIPTIONS AND OUR HISTORY OF WHAT WE'VE DONE IN THE PAST FOR SALARY MARKET STUDIES. NOW WE NEED TO MAKE A DECISION ON WHICH ENTITIES WE WANT THEM TO BENCH MARC OUR POSITIONS AGAINST. SO WHAT I'VE GIVEN YOU IS TO THE FAR RIGHT A HISTORY EVER THE ENTITIES CITIES AND COUNTIES THAT WE'VE USED IN THE PAST, THERE ARE A FEW RECOMMENDED CHANGES FROM MANAGE AND DR. LONG, THEY'RE FAMILIAR WITH CENTRAL TEXAS. THEY HAVE DONE THIS WORK IN SEVERAL DIFFERENT COUNTIES AND CITIES IN TEXAS.

I JUST RECENTLY WATCHED THE PRESENTATION FROM THE SAME COMPANY IN AN EAST TEXAS COUNTY.

SO IT GAVE ME A GOOD INSIGHT AS TO WHAT TO EXPECT IN

[01:45:04]

THEIR FINAL PRODUCT. SO JUST TO REVIEW THE CHANGES THAT ARE RECOMMENDED, THEY WOULD LIKE TO INCLUDE BASTROP, BAYER AND BELL COUNTIES WHICH ARE NOT COUNTIES THAT WE'VE USED IN THE RECENT PAST.

WE USED BASTROP COUNTY MANY YEARS AGO, BUT WE DROPPED THEM, LACK OF PROGRESSIVENESS IN THEIR COUNTY ORGANIZATION. LITTLE INTERESTING THEY'RE LITTLE LESS IN NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES.

SMALLER POPULATION BUT WE HAVE SEEN THE GROWTH COME

OUT THERE. >> JUDGE BECERRA: WHILE YOU ARE THERE, WHY DO YOU THINK THEY WANTED TO INCLUDE

BASTROP? >> I THINK ATTACHMENT TO TRAVIS AND CLOSE ATTACHMENT TO HAYS.

>> JUDGE BECERRA: PROXIMITY. >> BELL COUNTY WE'VE NEVER USED IN ANY OF OUR MARKET STUDIES.

SO IT'S A COUNTY THAT I'M NOT REAL FAMILIAR WITH.

I KNOW WE DID LOOK AT BELL COUNTY MAYBE WITH OUR JAIL CONSTRUCTION. THERE ARE SOME SIMILARITIES.

TREMENDOUS POPULATION THERE AND A LARGE COUNTY EMPLOYEE BASE. BAYER COUNTY, OBVIOUS, ONE EVER THE ELEPHANTS IN THE ROOM.

WE DO USE BAYER COUNTY IN OUR COLLECTIVE BARGAINING MARKET NOW. WE'VE USED BREZORIA COUNTY IN THE LAST YEAR OR TWO IN OUR EMPLOYEE MARKET.

IT'S NOT A RECOMMENDATION. THEY ARE A HOUSTON GULF COAST COUNTY. BRAZASS IS RECOMMENDED TO REMAIN. DENTON, THOSE ARE ALL

COUNTIES, BRAZAS -- >> THEY'RE HIGH GROWTH

COUNTIES. >> I DON'T PARTICULARLY LOVE THAT COUNTY IT'S IN THE MIDDLE OF NO WHERE BUT

THEY'RE PRETTY PROGRESSIVE. >> ALL THOSE FALL WITHIN THE TOP 15 HIGH GROWTH COUNTIES IN THE STATE.

>> EXACTLY. >> MOST OF THEM THAT ARE OUTSIDE THE AREA THEY'RE LISTED HERE, ARE IN THOSE TOP TEN. TOP 15 HIGHEST FASTEST GROWING COUNTIES IN THE STATE.

SO I THINK THAT BRING UP THE FACTOR IN THAT WE NEED TO

LOOK AT. >> JUDGE BECERRA: RIGHT ON.

>> HECTOR AND ELLEN COUNTY WE'VE RECENTLY USED.

THEY DON'T BRING A LOT OF VALUE OR SIMILARITIES.

THEIR PAY PLANS ARE PRETTY CRYPTIC.

FORT BEND GUADELOUPEY WE'VE BEEN USING THEM.

WE DO NOT USE THEM FOR COLLECTIVE BARGAINING BUT GUADALUPE IS GOING THROUGH A SALARY STUDY RIGHT NOW AND THEY'VE NOT HISTORICALLY HAD A OFFICIAL ORGANIZED PAY PLAN. I'M ANXIOUS TO SEE WHAT THEY'RE DEVELOPING. JOHNSON COUNTY, A COUNTY THAT WE HAVE USED IN THE PAST FOR ELECTED OFFICIALS.

AND A LONG TIME AGO FOR EMPLOYEE, MCCLENON, MONTGOMERY, REMAINING IN PARKSER COUNTY OLDER COUNTY, NOT PROGRESSIVE THAT WE'VE USED IN THE PAST.

SMITH COUNTY REMAINING UPPER EAST, NORTHEAST TIMER --

>> YEAH -- >> PRETTY PROGRESSIVE

COUNTY. >> PARKER COUNTY, WHAT, I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW REALLY KNOW HOW IT WOULD FIT --

>> IT'S NOT RECOMMENDED TO BE IN.

>> OKAY. >> THE REASON THEY'RE ON THE LIST IS WE HAVE USED THEM IN THE PAST.

>> OKAY. >> TERANT COUNTY IS ON THE LIST BECAUSE THEY USE THEM FOR COLLECTIVE BARGAIN, TRAVIS COUNTY WE USE IN COLLECTIVE BARGAINING NOW IS RECOMMENDED TO BE ADDED SO THE OTHERRER LARGEY COUNTY.

WEBB COUNTY WE ADDED IN THE LAST YEAR OR TWO.

AGAIN NOT A LOT OF VALUE IN --

>> SIMILAR SIZE. >> WHAT THEY DID.

WILLIAMSON COUNTIY IS RECOMMENDED TO REMAIN IN.

WITH THE CITIES WEED ADDED GEORGETOWN AND ROUND ROCK IN ADDITION TO KYLE, NEW BROTHSLES AND SAN MARCOS, NOT A LOT OF VALUE IN ADDING THOSE TWO ALTHOUGH THEY'RE LARGER COUNTIES ESPECIALLY ROUND ROCK.

>> CITIES. >> CITIES.

>> I, JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY WHY DO WE NOT -- I MEAN WE'RE DIRECTLY COMPETING WITH MUNICIPALITIES IN HAYS COUNTY FOR THESE EMPLOYEES. SO I THINK THERE WOULD BE BENEFIT TO HAVING THE CITY OF DRIPPING SPRINGS, THE CITY OF BUDA BECAUSE I KNOW -- I'LL USE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES AS AN EXAMPLE. I THINK THEY'VE EXPANDED, DRIPPING SPRINGS HAS EXPANDED ITS DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT BY, LIKE, 4 OR 5 EMPLOYEES OVER THE LAST 3 YEARS, THOSE ARE FOLKS WHO I KNOW IN THOSE AREAS AND MARCUS MAYBE AGE TO SPEAK BUT WE HAD INDIVIDUALS INTERVIEWING WITH US AND WITH THEM AT THE

[01:50:02]

SAME TIME. AND SO I KNOW THAT THEY ARE A DIRECT COMPETITOR. I WOULD REALLY, I MEAN I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHY WE DON'T HAVE CITY OF AUSTIN IN

THERE. >> USE WE LOSE EMPLOYEES TO

THE CITY OF AUSTIN EVERYDAY. >> I SPOKE WITH DR. LONG

ABOUT THE CITY OF AUSTIN. >> JUDGE BECERRA: THAT WAS A BIRD THAT JUST HIT THE WINDOW BEHIND YOU.

>> NEW WINDOWS, I TALKED TO DR. LONG ABOUT THE CITY OF AUSTIN ALONG WITH IN THE CONTEXT OF ADDING TRAVIS COUNTY AS WELL. VERY COMPLEX.

IT MAY BE DIFFICULT TO GET REALLY GOOD JOB MATCHES WITH THAT COMPLEX OF AN ORGANIZATION, WE CAN CERTAINLY TRY. IN TERMS OF ADDING OTHER ENTITIES WE CAN ADD WHOEVER THE COURT APPROVES.

THE WAY THIS WORKS, THEY WILL BE SENT A SURVEY TO RESPOND TO WHAT DOES YOUR PAY PLAN PAY FOR THESE MATCHED POSITIONS. DO YOU EXACTLY MATCH THEM? DO YOU, DO THEY DO MORE? DO THEY DO LESS? THAT'S THE WAY THE SURVEYS WORK THEN M.A.G.WILL PUT THE SURVEY

DATA INTO THEIR CITY. >> THE CITY OF DRIPPING SPRINGS I WOULD THINK WOULD BE SIMILAR.

>> I THIS -- >> THEY'RE PICKING KYLE INSTEAD OF GOING THROUGH ALL 3.

THEY'RE GOING TO GET THE SAME INFORMATION FROM THE

OTHER TWO. >> THE ONLY OTHER THING THAT I WOULD HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THAT ISN'T ON HERE IS WHY, AND I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM MY COLLEAGUES BUT I THINK TEXAS STATE UNIVERSITY NEEDS TO BE ON HERE, WE'RE DIRECTLY BEATING WITH THEM.

>> YOU ARE GOING TO JOB MATCH WITH THE UNIVERSITY WITH ADMINISTRATIVE AND CLERK POSITIONS SO MANY OF OUR CLERK POSITIONS ARE COURT RELATED YOU ARE GOING TO GET SOME JOB MATCHES, WE HAVE USED THE UNIVERSITY

MANY YEARS AGO. >> IT'S --

>> THERE WERE LIMITED JOB FUNCTIONS.

>> OUR FUNCTIONINGS AND CITY FUNCTIONS ARE FAIRLY SIMILAR BUT WHEN YOU GET TO UNIVERSITY IT'S COMPLETELY

DIFFERENT. >> O'NET IS A SYSTEM POPULATED BY ENTITIES THAT IS A REALLY GOOD RESOURCE.

ANY OF US CAN GO ON TO O'NET AND LOOK.

IT'S NOT A SUB SCRIPTION SERVICE AT SALARY DATA.

I'VE USED IT MANY TIMES TO TRY TO GET AN IDEA OF A JOB THAT'S ALSO PERFORMED IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR.

AGAIN IT'S GOING TO BE ADMINISTRATIVE, MANAGERIAL TYPE POSITION, MAYBE SOME ENVIRONMENTAL.

IF THERE ARE PRIVATE ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES BEING PROVIDED BY PRIVATE ENTITIES OR NONPUBLIC ENTITIES.

>> ARE THEY LOOKING AT WHAT WE'RE ACTUALLY LOSING EMPLOYEES TO WHICH MAY BE NOT BE A GOVERNMENT ENTITY.

HAVE THEY -- HOW ARE THEY LOOKING AT THAT AND COMPARING THAT? HOW WE'RE LOSING PEOPLE TO THE PRIVATE

SECTOR? >> THE SALARY STUDY WILL NOT NECESSARILY LOOK AT THAT INFORMATION.

>> THAT WOULD BE ADJUSTMENT WE'D HAVE TO MAKE.

>> THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING WE WOULD NEED TO LOOK AT.

WHOA THEY'LL DO IS QUERY TO OUR EMPLOYEES A POSITION QUESTIONNAIRE. EVERY EMPLOYEE WILL BE OFFERED AN OPPORTUNITY TO COMPLETE A POSITION QUESTIONNAIREAIRE TO DESCRIBE THE -- QUESTIONNAIRE TO DESCRIBE THE WORK THEY'RE DOING.

IN TERMS OF WHEN EMPLOYEINGS LEAVE WE ASK THEM TO COMPLETE AFTERNOON EXIT SURVEY, AND MOST OFTEN TIMES, THEY'LL TELL US IF THEY'VE GOTTEN ANOTHER JOB.

SO WE ARE ELOSING EMPLOYEES FROM THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE. MOSTLY TO PRIVATE PRACTITIONERS. WE LOSE PEOPLE TO STAY HOME OR TO OTHER PRIVATE WORK. WE'VE HEARD THE STORIES OF EMPLOYEES GOING TO RESTAURANTS OR OTHER PRIVATE ENTITIES. SOME -- MARCUS, YOU'VE LOST SOME EMPLOYEINGS RECENTLY TO -- EMPLOYEES.

>> WE'RE LOOSING TRUCKS AND CONSTRUCTION, WE CAN'T

COMPETE ON THE -- >> TRANSPORTATION AND CONSTRUCTION TO PRIVATE DEVELOPERS AND PRIVATE COMPANIES FOR LOTS MORE MONEY.

WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THEIR OTHER BENEFITS LOOK LIKE

WHEN THEY LEAVE US. >> WHAT, I KNOW WE'RE PUTTING A LOT OF EMPHASIS ON THE STUDY RELATIVE TO THE UPCOMING BUDGET. WHAT IS OUR TIMETABLE?

>> WE'RE BEHIND. WE'RE BEHIND WITH THE STUDY BECAUSE OF THE TIMEFRAME IT TOOK TO PRESENT, PREPARE AND

[01:55:04]

PRESENT THE DATA FILE. SO WE HAVE JUST THIS PAST WEEKEND THE DATA FILE OF OUR EMPLOYEES AND POSITIONS WAS SENT. WE HAD THOUGHT THAT WOULD BE SENT WITHIN A FEW WEEKS. AND IT WAS SENT THIS PAST WEEKEND. SO WE'RE BEHIND.

I HAVE TALKED TO DR. LONG ABOUT OUR TIMEFRAME ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO, AND HE DIDN'T SAY WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE BUT THE QUICKER THAT WE -- IF WE CAN DECIDE ON MARKET SOWFS I'LL GIVE HIM THAT INFORMATION TODAY, AND HE WILL START PREPARING HIS SURVEY TO THE ENTITIES.

THEN THE OTHER PIECE OF IT ISED -- THE COMMUNICATION WITH ELECTED OFFICIALS DEPARTMENT HAZE ARE HEADS AND EMPLOYEES, WE'LL WORK ON IS THAT PIECE OF IT.

WHETHER HE'LL HAVE TOTAL RECOMMENDATION BY THE TIMES WE, LATE SEPTEMBER, ADOPTING THE BUDGET, WE TOLD HIM THAT WAS OUR TIME FRAME. WE --

>> WE'RE WORKING UNDER A STATUTORY DEADLINE ESPECIALLY ON THE ELECTED OFFICIALS, IF THERE'S GOING TO BE ANY TYPE OF CHANGE IN PAY, WE HAVE TO MAKE THOSE

PUBLIC -- >> RIGHT.

>> MARCH SOL, WOULD YOU KNOW THAT? I KNOW VICKY WOULD.

BUT -- >> IT -- IT HAS TO BE

PUBLISHED. >> EARLY SEPTEMBER I THINK WE NEED IS SOONER RATHER THAN LATER.

WE HAVE TO GET IT DONE ALL OF US ARE WORKING UNDER THE ASSUMPTION WE'LL USE THE NUMBERS IN THE BUDGET.

>> HE HAS WHAT HE NEEDS NOW AS OF SUNDAY MORNING, HIS COMPANY WAS AT A STAND STILL UNTIL WE GAVE HIM THE

INFORMATION. >> I'M FINE WITH HIS RECOMMENDATION SINGS THEY ARE THE ONES DOING IT AND WE'RE ASKING THEM TO SPEED UP.

>> CUT THEM LOOSE. >> I AGREE.

>> JUDGE BECERRA: LET'S SHOW OFF.

>> DO WE NEED A MOTION FOR THAT?

>> JUDGE BECERRA: SO IT'S NOT DRAFT THAT HAD WAY.

YOU HAVE -- IT'S A DISCUSSION BUT YOU HAVE THE UNANIMOUS CONCEPT OF DIRECTION.

>> IT IS MY OFFICE AND MY OFFICE' PRIORITY TO WORK WITH HIM THROUGH THIS. UNFORTUNATELY WE ARE BLIND.

HE KNOWS THAT -- BLIND, -- BEGRIND IF THERE IS SOMETHING THE COURT CAN DO --

>> JUDGE BECERRA: WHATEVER WE CAN DO --

>> THANK YOU. >> AGAIN IF THERE IS A, I WOULD GIVE HIM THE STATUTORY DEADLINES WE'RE WORKING UNDER AND ROLL IT BACK AND SAY WE HAVE TO HAVE IT BY

THIS DATE. >> JUDGE BECERRA: GREAT POINT. AS YOU WELL KNOW I'M PREACHING TO THE CHOIR. WE HAVE DEPARTMENT ARE HEADS ELECTED OFFICIALS WITH HUGE LABOR SHORTAGES STAFFING SHORTAGES THAT ARE LITERALLY COMPROMISING AND IN CERTAIN WAYS SERVICES THAT IS WE'RE PROVIDING.

I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CONVEY THAT SENSE OF URGENCY SO THE DEPARTMENT HEADS CAN GET THE FULL SUPPORT AS SOON

AS POSSIBLE. >> THEY'RE DEPENDING ON THE

SALARIES TO BRING IN -- >> JUDGE BECERRA: EXACTLY.

THANK YOU FOR THE WORK. >> I THINK THE NEXT ONE IS MIND ALSO. LEETLE' GIVE DR. LONG SOME

[K2. Discussion and possible action to renew coverage with United Healthcare for Health and Dental Employee and Retiree Insurance. INGALSBE/SHELL/MILLER]

RED BULL. PLEASE OPEN K. 2.

>> K. 2, DISCUSSION AND IMPORTANTLY ACTION TO RENEW COVERAGE WITH UNITED HEALTHCARE FOR HEALTH AND DENTAL EMPLOYEE AND RETIREE INSURANCE.

>> JUDGE BECERRA: MISS MILLER.

>> SO WE ARE IN A CONTRACT WITH THE UNITED HEALTHCARE TO PROVIDE HEALTH AND DENTAL INSURANCE COVERAGES FOR EMPLOYEINGS AND RETIREES. THAT CONTRACT BEGAN IN 2018.

IT WAS A 3 YEAR CONTRACT WITH THE OPTION TO RENEW FOR TWO ADDITIONAL ONE--YEAR TERMS. THAT SECOND ONE-YEAR TERM ENDS IN DECEMBER OF 22.

WE'RE ASKING, WE OBVIOUSLY HAVE NOT GONE OUT FOR BIDS AND DO NOT FEEL, SCOTT YARBOROUGH AND I AND HAVE DISCUSSED THIS. WE DON'T FEEL THE NEED TO GO OUT FOR BID AT THIS TIME. WE HAVE A NEW BENEFITS MANAGER IN PLACE THAT IS LEARNING THE ROPES AND DO OPEN ENROLLMENT LIKE WE DID BEFORE COVID THIS YEAR.

WE APPEAR TO BE RECEIVING REALLY GOOD SERVICES FROM UNITED HEALTHCARE. SO THE ASK IS TO BE ALLOWED TO DO UP TO TWO ADDITIONAL ONE-YEAR TERMS WITH UNITED HEALTHCARE. THAT WILL GIVE US TWO OR

[02:00:02]

ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AND THEN IT WILL PROBABLY BE TIME TO GO OUT FOR BID AGAIN.

>> I'M VERY PLEASED WITH UNITED HEALTHCARE AND THE JOB THEY'VE DONE. SO I DON'T SEE ANY REASON FOR US TO CHANGE COURSE AT THIS POINT.

>> AGREE. >> THAT'S WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY. THAT I FEEL THE SAME.

>> JUDGE BECERRA: SEEMS LIKE YOU HAVE THE SUPPORT, PLEASE CALL THE ROLL.

>> JUDGE BECERRA: YES, THAT INCLUDES WITH THE UP TO 2 --

[K4. Discussion and possible action to authorize the execution of an agreement with HDR Architecture, Inc. related to a long-term space needs assessment for the Precinct 4 offices in Dripping Springs and authorize a discretionary exemption pursuant to Texas Local Government Code Ch. 262.024(a)(4). SMITH/T.CRUMLEY]

PLEASE OPEN K. 4. >> K. 4.

DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION TO AUTHORIZE THE EXECUTION OF AN AGREEMENT WITH H. D. R. ARCHITECTURE INC. RELATED TO A LONG-TERM SPACE NEEDS ASSESSMENT FOR THE PRECINCT 4 OFFICES IN DRIPPING SPRINGS AND AUTHORIZE A DECISIONARY EXEMPTION PURSUANT TO TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE CHAPTER 262.024 A. H.

>> JUDGE BECERRA: COMMISSIONER.

>> THANK YOU, JUDGE AS PART OF THE TERMS THAT THE COUNTY IS A PART OF OR TERMS ONE AND GO IN DRINKS THERE IS A TOWN CENTER FACILITY THAT WOULD ACTUALLY CO-LOCATE THE CITY OF DRIPPING SPRINGS SERVICES WITH THE PRECINCT 4 COUNTY SERVICES. POSSIBLY WITH THE EXCEPTION OF LAW ENFORCEMENT. THAT HAS BEEN IN DISCUSSION SINCE WELL BEFORE WE WERE ON THE COURT.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS WHAT ARE THE ACTUAL NEEDS OF THE COUNTY IN THAT AREA? WE ARE LOOKING H.D.R.IS DOING THE SPACE NEEDS ASESSIONMENT FOR THE GOVERNMENT CENTER AUTHORIZED BY THE COURT SEVERAL WEEKS AGO, AND THIS WOULD AMEND THAT OR EXPAND THAT TO ACTUALLY LOOK AT PRECINCT 4 AS WELL. THE STUDY WE'RE TALKING ABOUT WOULD ENTAIL THEM HAVING DISCUSSIONS WITH EACH OF OUR INDIVIDUAL DEPARTMENT HEADS AS TO WHAT THE NEED IN THE NORTHERN PART OF THE COUNTY IS AND WHAT THEY SEE THAT NEED BEING IN THE FUTURE THEN ACTUALLY ASSESSING WHAT THE SPACE NEEDS WOULD BE OVER TIME, NOT JUST WHAT WE NEED TODAY BUT OVER TIME.

I CAN TELL YOU THAT THE FACILITIES IN PRECINCT 4 RIGHT NOW EACH ONE OF THE OFFICES POSSIBLY WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE CLERK'S OFFICE AND MY OFFICE ARE ALL -- I WOULD SAY OVERSUB SCRIBE AND UNDERSPACED.

SO THE OTHER THING THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS GIVEN THE FOOTPRINT OF THAT BUILDING, THERE'S A POSSIBILITY WITH ONE OF THE NEW DEVELOPMENTS THAT'S COMING IN CLOSE TO THAT FACILITY THAT THEY WOULD NEED TO MOVE THE DRIVEWAY. IF THEY DID THAT, PART OF THE NEGOTIATION WE WOULD DO IS TO SAY, YES, YOU CAN MOVE OUR DRIVEWAY BUT WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO HOOK INTO YOUR SEWAGE SYSTEM THEY'RE PUTTING IN WITH THE CITY.

AND IF WE DID THAT, WE WOULD ACTUALLY HAVE -- WE WOULD ALSO HAVE THE AVAILABILITY TO POSSIBILITY EXPAND THE PRECINCT 4 OFFICE TO TAKE CARE OF THE SPACE NEEDS.

BUT THIS WILL DETERMINE OR THIS STUDY WILL DETERMINE WHAT THE NEEDS OVERALL WE HAVE ARE AND WHAT THE BEST COURSE OF ACTION FOR THE COUNTY LOOKING AT WHERE WE MIGHT BE ABILITY TO GO OR WHETHER WE STAY THERE.

BUT THIS WOULD HELP US MAKE THAT DETERMINATION.

>> JUDGE BECERRA: COMMISSIONER INGALSBE IS THERE SOMETHING THEY'RE DOING FOR PRECINCT 1?

>> NO, WE HAVEN'T INITIATED STUDIES FOR PRECINCT 1.

>> JUDGE BECERRA: WHAT ABOUT COURTHOUSE -- SOMEHOW THAT

MOVING ALONG -- >> I DON'T --

>> JUDGE BECERRA: GOVERNMENT CENTER.

I DON'T WANT TO GIVE FOLKS TOO MUCH WORK AND THEY FALL

BLIND. >> I CAN TELL YOU ONE MUCH THE REASONS WE'RE PURSUING THE EXEMPTION SINCE IT COULD BE A COLOCATED FACILITY WITH THE CITY OF DRIPPING SPRINGS. H. D. R. BY CHANCE IS ALSO THE SAME FIRM DOING THE SAME NEEDS AND ASSESSMENT FOR THE CITY OF DRIPPING SPRINGS SO THEY HAVE A LOT OF THE INFORMATION THEY CAN USE BUT I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE WORK GOING ON IN GOVERNMENT CENTERMENT I

DON'T KNOW IF TAMMY -- >> I JUST HAD A KICKOFF MEETING BETWEEN MYSELF AND REPRESENTATIVES OF H.D.R.LAST WEEK, WE HAVE A NEW COURT COMING ON AT THE GOVERNMENT CENTER SO THAT SHOULD BE THE PRIORITY MAKING SURE WE'VE PROPER SPACES FOR JUDGES AND STAFF

SO EVERYTHING FALLS IN LINE. >> JUDGE BECERRA: MORE WORK

IS GOING TO SLOW YOU DOWN. >> I WOULD TELL THEM IF I WOULD PRIORITIZE I WOULD HAVE MY LIST OF PRIORITIES WHICH I LET THEM KNOW PRECINCT 4 SPACE NEEDS ARE IMPORTANT AS WELL BUT WE'VE SOME, YOU KNOW TIMING ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH NEW COURT, JUDGE, THEN ALSO OUR NEW

FACILITIES WHERE ELECTIONS >> I WOULD COMPLETELY AGREE WITH THIS. THIS IS A LONG-TERM STUDY THAT HAS BEEN AND A LONG-TERM PLAN GOING ON SINCE WELL BEFORE WE WERE ON THE COURT.

AND SO, IT'S REACHED A POINT WHERE WE HAVE TO DO THE SPACE STUDY, BUT AS FAR AS PRIORITIZATION, I DON'T

[02:05:01]

THINK THERE IS ANY QUESTION THAT --

>> JUDGE BECERRA: GOVERNMENT CENTER HAS TO BE FIRST.

OKAY. GOOD.

>> I BELIEVE IT'S A DIFFERENT TEAM WITH

H.D.R.DOING GOVERNMENT -- >> THEY'RE.

>> JUDGE BECERRA: THAT'S WHY I WAS BRINGING IT UP BECAUSE

I SEE YOU. >> WE HAVE OUR SCHEDULE WITH H.D.R.AND THE GOVERNMENT CENTER.

THOSE INTERVIEWS HAVE STARTED BEING PUT ON THE CALENDAR. SO WE'RE MOVING FORWARD WITH

THAT. >> JUDGE BECERRA: OKAY.

A LITTLE MORE PRECISE, A LITTLE MORE PUBLIC SAFETY.

>> JUDGE BECERRA: ABSOLUTELY, I HAVE THE PRIVILEGE, I'VE HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF BEING WITNESS TO PARTICIPATING IN ACTUALLY ONE OF THE DRILLS THAT WE'VE DONE REEGEALLY AND FOLKS NEED TO REMEMBER WE'RE UNION PACIFIC ROLLING THROUGH HERE.

ANY SPILL CAN CAUSE LOTS OF TROUBLE.
