SPEAK IS MR. DAN LION. >> GOOD MORNING, IT'S THANKSGIVING ON THURSDAY AND I HAVE TAKEN [INDISCERNIBLE] HURT IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF THIS COMPOSITION.
-- PURELY COINCIDENTAL. THE INVENTOR OF THE ROYAL TURKEY, AKA, PEACOCK, THERE WAS A TURKEY SLIM AND TALK -- WHEN HE STOOD STRAIGHT AND ERECT AND HIS SPEECH WAS ALWAYS POLITICALLY KRKT. ONE DAY WHILE STRUTTING THROUGH HIS BARNYARD HE MUSED THAT THE PEOPLE OF THE COUNTY BUT THE OTHER TURKEYS HAD RUTHLESSLY BEEN ABUSED.
HE TRUED TO GET THE OTHER TURKEYS TO BUDGE AND WHEN THEY REFUSED HE DECIDED TO RUN FOR JUDGE.
HIS OPPONENT CREATED SUCH A STENCH, HE RAN FOR THAT BENCH.
ON ELECTION NIGHT PAVO EKED OUT A WIN EVEN THAT THE MARGIN WAS RAZOR THIN. THE PEOPLE REJOICED AND CRIED WE'RE UNDER NEW RULE. WHEN IN OFFICE TO THE PEOPLE'S CHAGRIN, PAVO CONTINUED TO SPEND.
THE PEOPLE CRUDE WE CANNOT WIN. HE ACTED AS IF BY GOD HE WASE W.
HE ACTED AS II WE CANNOT WIN. HE ACTED AS IE WE CANNOT WIN.
HE ACTED AS ID WE CANNOT WIN. HE ACTED AS IF BY GOD HE WAS PA.
[INDISCERNIBLE] WE NOED MORE I MUST PAY FOR MY RACE FLOOR WITH FOUR ON THE FLOOR. PAVO KNEW THAT HE HAD MADE THE
[00:05:05]
PEOPLE SUFFER FOR BETWEEN THEM AND BANKRUPTCY THERE WAS NO BUFFER. THEIR HOUSES TO THE BANKERS HE DID PLEDGE WHILE USING HIS GAVEL AS A SLEDGE.HE FORGOT ALL THAT AS HE PURSUED A ROYAL CRONE.
IN HIS RUSH TOWN. COUNTY.RUSH TO GENTRY FEW THE - HE PREAT NO TIMED TO BE THE PEOPLE'S PAL BY CLAIMING TO BE LOCAL BUT HE WAS ACTUALLY FROM CAL.
THEY THOUGHT HE WAS WORKING FOR THE KING OF SPAIN.
IN THE END, PAVO SPREAD HIS TAIL FAITHERS WHICH HE COULD NO LONGER HIDE TO REVEAL THEIR RAINBOWS.
IN TRUTH HE WAS JUST A COLORFUL VULTURE -- DETERMINED TO PUT AN END TO EXCESSIVE TAXES. THE REVOLUTION TO STEER THE FIVE TURKEYS ALL TURNED PALE AS THEIR DECEPTIVE SPEECH BEGAN TO FAIL.
GOD SAID BRING THE PEACOCK AND HIS FOUR CONSPIRATORS TO THE
CHOPPING BLOCK. >> HOW MUCH LONGER BECAUSE IT'S
REALLY ENTERTAINING. >> HALF A MINUTE.
>> OKAY, GO, GO. >> HE ASKED THE TURKEYS ONE BY ONE HOW THEY SERVED THE PEOPLE'S NEEDS.
ONE BY ONE THE TURKEYS MADE EXCUSES FOR THEIR ABUSES, THEIR HEADS ALL HUNG LOW THEY KNEW FOR THE MORNING THERE WAS NOTHING TO SHOW. THE OCCURTIES MANICED AND THEN THEY PANICKED AND AWAY THEY FLEW.
THIS IS WHAT HE DID SAY, YOU SERVED YOURSELVES TO THE PEOPLE YOU HAVE LIED AND NOW YOU ARE FRIED AND TO THE PEOPLE YOU WILL BE SERVED. ON THAT GLORIOUS THANKSGIVING DAY, THE PEOPLE DID SAY THE TURKEYS FINALLY GOT WHAT THEY DESERVED. THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND HAPPY

[00:45:10]

[00:45:12]
HONESTLY, LILLIAN. WELL DEAN.WE HAVE TWO ITEMS, G 20 AND G 27 MR. LION IF YOU WILL PLEASE
START THE TIMER FOR HIM. >> THANK YOU, JUDGE BECERRA.
G20, HALF ASSOCIATES IS ASKING FOR A TIME EXTENSION.
THIS IS CONCERNING TO ME BECAUSE OTHERS SEE HALF ASSOCIATES DON'T GET THEIR STUFF ON TIME ENCOURAGES THEM TO GET THEIR STUFF DONE HALF AS GOOD OTHERWISE.
I DON'T KNOW WHY THERE'S NO PENALTY BEING LATE ON THESE PROJECTS. THERE SHOULD BE SOMETHING WRITTEN INTO THE CONTRACT WHERE THEY HAVE TO FORFEIT SOMETHING, MONEY, SOMETHING ELSE, I DON'T KNOW, BUT THIS CONCERNS ME THAT THESE THINGS CONTINUOUSLY, YOU DO THESE CHANGE ORDERS AND NOBODY IS HELD RESPONSIBLE. LET ME GO TO 27, RATIFY THE PURCHASE OF A REPLACEMENT TRANSFORMER, $4,807.50.
I'M SURE THIS IS NEEDED BUT ONCE AGAIN, I COME UP HERE TALKING ABOUT A FOUR-YEAR-OLD JAIL WITH THINGS FAILING.
SHOULDN'T WE HOLD THE PEOPLE WHO PUT THIS THING TOGETHER RESPONSIBLE? ARE THERE NO WARRANTIES ON THESE THINGS? AND I KEEP ASKING Y'ALL THE SAME QUESTION OVER AND OVER AND APPARENTLY THERE'S NOT, BUT MY REAL QUESTION IS HOW COULD Y'ALL SIGN A CONTRACT WITH PEOPLE THAT DIDN'T GIVE YOU A WARRANTY ON THEIR CONSTRUCTION AND ON THEIR EQUIPMENT? IT BOGGLES THE MIND.
EVEN WHEN I GO DOWN TO THE LOCAL STORE, TO THE AUTOMOTIVE PLACE, I WANT TO NOW ABOUT A WARRANTY. HOW LONG IS THE WARRANTY? AND IF IT FAILS IN X AMOUNT OF YEARS, DO I GET MY MONEY BACK OR DO THEY MAKE GOOD OR WHATEVER? IT'S NOT ROCKET SCIENCE, Y'ALL SHOULD BE DOING THE SAME THING, BUT THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER SHELL, ANYTHING ON HAFL?
>> NO, THAT'S THE EXTENSION FOR THEIR PROGRAM MANAGEMENT SERVICES FOR THE ENTIRE PARKS BOND.
IT REALLY IS, SOME OF THE PROJECTS TAKE A LONG TIME TO GET TO NEGOTIATE THE DEALS SO IT'S NOT AN ADDITIONAL COST AND IT'S NOT THE PROGRAM MANAGER'S ISSUE ON THE DELAY OF GENERAL PROGRAM MANAGEMENT. SOME THINGS TAKE LONGER THAN OTHERS AND SOME THINGS HAPPEN QUICKLY BUT THEY'RE ON THE JOB WHEN WE NEED THEM AND IF THERE'S ANY ARGUMENT OF WHY IT TAKES A LONG TIME TO CLOSE OUT A BOND OF THAT SIZE, THERE'S JUST A LOT OF DIFFERENT VARIABLES ASSOCIATED WITH DIFFERENT PROJECTS SO IT
DEPONDS ON THE PROJECT. >> THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER.
COMMISSIONER INGALSBE, ANY COMMENTS ON THE TRANSFORMER?
>> IT PROVIDES THE ELECTRICAL SERVICES TO THE JAIL.
I'M NOT SURE WHAT PART OF THE JAIL.
I'M NOT SURE IF ANYBODY HAS THAT INFORMATION.
>> WARRANTY INFORMATION, IF IT WAS EVEN PART OF THE PURCHASE.
>> THE WARRANTIES THAT COME WITH THE STUFF WE PURCHASE IT'S USUALLY LUKE THE MANUFACTURER'S ONEKE THE MANUFACTURER'S OLKE THE MANUFACTURER'S OIKE THE MANUFACTURER'S
ONE YEAR WARRANTY. >> THANK YOU, PLEASE CALL THE
ROLL. >> COMMISSIONER EH SHELL?
>> YES. >> COMMISSIONER INGALSBE?

BEHAVIORAL ADVISORY TEAM ERLEY AND DRIPPINGBERLEY AND DRIPPING SPRINGS TO THE INTERSECTION THIS IS ONE OF THE LAST REMAINING THAT HASN'T BEEN APPROVED IN SOME TIME EXCEPT FOR REPAVING WHICH WAS DONE BUT FOR THE MOST PART IT WAS IN THE SAME C CONFIGURATION AS WHEN I WAS A KID BUT FOR 32, 37 WHICH WAS SHOULDERS, THAT WILL BE FOR THE MOST PART THE SCOPE TO SEE.>> I TOOK 12 FROM 290 ALL THE WAY HOME AND THAT IS A I'M ELATED WITH THE ENTIRE PROJECT.
>> IN WORKING WITH TXDOT, THEY IDENTIFIED SIX INTERSECTIONS THEY HAVE DONE IMPROVEMENTS ON OVER THE LAST YEAR THROUGH STATEWIDE INTERCEPPTION STATEWIDE INTERCEPPSPTEPTCPTTIO.
THAT WOULD FOLD INTO WHATEVER COMES OUT OF THIS CONTRACT, WHICH WOULD BE A HUGE BENEFIT FOR THE WEST SIDE OF THE COUNTY.
>> MOST DEFINITELY. WELL DONE.

>> SECOND. >> PLEASE START THE TIMER FOR
MR. DAN LION. >> THANK YOU, JUDGE.
IT HAS DELTA [INDISCERNIBLE] DELTA MEANS CHANGE SO THEY'RE GOING TO CHANGE THEIR RATE SCHEDULE ADDING 25%.
I'M A POSED TO THAT. THE ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGER WILL MAKE $206 AN HOUR. HE WAS MAKING $166.
THE TECHNICAL EDER THE IS GOING TO MAKE $81 AND HE WAS MAKING $76. SORRY, FUND LEA MENTALLYEMAMENTO THAT. SOME OF THIS WORK IS TECHNICAL BUT IT'S NOT THAT TECHNICAL. WHEN I HAD A FINAL SAY-SO IN WHETHER WE SOLD OR NOT, IT'S EXTREMELY IMPORTANT BECAUSE EVERYTHING YOU DRIVE OVER IS MADE WITH CONCRETE.
NOW THAT I'M OLDER, RETIRED, I HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS, THIS IS RIDIC RIDICULOUSLY EXCESSIVE.
>> THIS IMPORTANT IS 3237 FROM THE INTERSECTION AT RANCHO 12 OUTSIDE OFPROJECT IS 3237 FROM E INTERSECTION AT RANCHO 12 OUTSIDE OF WIMBERLEY. THIS IS WITH UNWHERE THEOE WHER
[00:55:03]
PICKING UP CONSTRUCTION. MOST OF OUR CONTRACTS ALLOW FOR INCREASES WITH INFLATION USING CPI AS THE BASE SO THERE'S A FORMULA THAT IS SPELLED OUT IN OUR CONTRACT THAT ALLOWS OUR CONSULTANT AND SUB CONSULTANTS TO APPLY CPI DURINGCERTAINCONSUO APPLY CPI DURING CERTAIN PERIODS OF TIME.ONE THING FOR THE PUBLIC, THE WAY ENGINEERING FIRMS CHARGE ARE BASED ON THESE HOURLY RATES FOR THESE VARIOUS POSITIONS WITHIN THEIR FIRM AND SO THERE ARE SOME DIRECT CHARGES THAT ARE APPLIED, FOR INSTANCE, IF THEY'RE PUTTING TOGETHER A DOCUMENT THAT'S GOING TO BE BOUND AND PRESENTED TO PUBLIC IN A PUBLIC MEETING, OFTENTIMES THEY WILL BILL THEIR CUSTOMERS FOR THE COST OF THE PRINTING AND THE COPIES. ASIDE FROM THOSE, ENGINEERING FIRMS CHARGE PER HOUR FOR THEIR EMPLOYEES.
THAT IS WHAT THEIR ASSET IS IN THEIR FIRM.
ALONG WITH THAT COMES ALL OVERHEAD ASSOCIATED WITH THAT EMPLOYEE. THEIR EXPENSIVE SOFTWARE DESIGN, OFFICE SPACE, EVERYTHING ELSE. THE HOURLY RATE IS WHAT THEY BILL WHICH ENCOMPASSES WHAT THEY PAY THAT PEMPLOYEE.
THE EMPLOYEE IS NOT MAKING THESE RATES, THAT'S A MARKED UP RATE WHICH IS HOW ENGINEERING FIRMS CHARGE AND THAT'S, FOR THE MOST PART, BASED ON STATE LAW. YOU CAN'T SELECT OR DECIDE ON CONTRACTS WITH PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERS BASED UPON A PRICE SO IT'S KIND OF A UNIQUE CONCEPT BUT ROOTED IN NOT WANTING TO BUILD A BRIDGE BASED SOLELY ON LOW COST OF THE PERSON DESIGNING THE BRIDGE WHEREAS THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE BRIDGE CAN BE INSPECTED, THOSE ARE USUALLY DONE WITH BIDS AND CON TRACK TOURS, THE CONCEPTTRACTORS, THE CONCEPT HAS ALWAYS BEEN FROM A DESIGN STANDPOINT THAT COST IS NOT A CONSIDERATION.
SO WHAT WE DO, WHEN WE RECEIVE RESPONSES TO OUR REQUEST AND WE SELECT FIRMS, THEY CHECK THE RATES VERSUS MARKET FOR THE MOST PART TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE IN LINE WITH WHAT IS CURRENT.
WE USUALLY USE WHAT TXDO T, FOR INSTANCE, WOULD PAY FOR THE SAME TYPET, FOR INSTANCE, WOULD PAY FOR THE SAME TYPE OF WORK AS A BASELINE MOST OF THEM ARE IN LINE AND I NO THAT'S A STRANGE THING TO THINK OF.
OUR GEC DOES THAT. IF THEY HAVE ONE OF THESE RATE THAT IS SEEMS TO BE WHY IS THIS ONE THAT WHEN COMMONLY, IS THIS IN THE RIGHT CATEGORY AND THEN IN OUR CONTRACTS, WE ALLOW THOSE FIRMS TO ADJUST PER CPI, NOT JUST WITH ENGINEERING FIRMS.
>> COMMENTS, QUESTIONS, CONCERNS? ALL RIGHT, PLEASE CALL THE ROLL.

MR. DAN LION. >> THINK, JUDGNK, JUDAOU, JUDGE.
>> I HAVE THE RUNDOWN OF WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO.
YOU KNOW HOW I HATE CHANGE ORDERS AND I ALWAYS ASK WHY THERE HAS TO BE A CHANGE ORDER. SEEMS THAT READING ALL THESE THINGS AND I WON'T READ THEM RIGHT NOW, THEY DID A VERY BAD JOB OF ESTIMATING WHAT KIND OF MONEY THEY WERE GOING TO NEED TO
[01:00:12]
DO THE PROJECT AND THIS IS UNFAIR FOR THE COMPANIES THAT LOST THE BIDS WHO WERE GOING TO DO IT FOR WHAT THEY SAID THEY WOULD DO IT FOR. WE SEE TOO MANY OF THESE AND IF ANY OF Y'ALL CARE TO EXPLAIN WHY THEY COULDN'T FINISH THE JOB WITH THE MONEY ALLOTTED, I WILL BE LISTENING.>> HAPPY TO. THIS IS A CHANGE ORDER I'M VERY HAPPY TO BRING TO THE COURT AND THE REASON I SAY THAT AND I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE ADDITIONAL FEEDBACK AFTER COURT ON THIS IS ONCE THE ROBERT S. LIGHT BYPASS WAS CONSTRUCTED, THERE WAS OBVIOUSLY THE NEED. THERE WERE CONSTRUCTION CREWS OUT THERE. WE WORKED WITH TXDOT.
THEY IDENTIFIED HUNTER AS SOMEBODY THEY CONTINUE TO WORK WITH AND THIS IS PUSHING THAT PROJECT FORWARD BY ANYWHERE FROM 8 MONTHS TO A YEAR-AND-A-HALF IN ORDER TO GET THAT SAFETY IMPROVEMENT THERE. THIS IS A LITTLE BIT OFF.
I WOULD SAY THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THEY WERE ESTIMATING BECAUSE SOME OF THESE WEREN'T IN THE ORIGINAL DISCUSSION SO THIS IS IN DECISION TO THE PROJECT AND THAT'S WHY THERE'S A
DIFFERENTIATION ON THIS. >> IT'S ACTUALLY A DEDUCTION.
THE CHANGE OVER IS A DEDUCTION OF 6.32%.
THEY ESTIMATED HIGH, IN OTHER WORDS, AND THEY'RE COMING BACK BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO PAY THEM THE REAL COST.
>> AND I WILL SAY THAT COMMISSIONER SMITH'S RECAP WAS, FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, PRETTY SPOT ON BECAUSE I WAS THERE.
I WATCHED IT UNFOLD, I WATCHED THE BRIDGE GET BUILT.
IT'S NOT UNTIL, AND MAYBE BECAUSE I'M NOT AN ENGINEER OR A ROAD BUILDER, BUT I PLAYED ONE ON TV, BUT IT'S NOT UNTIL WE SAW THAT INTERSECTION AND MOVED IN THAT NEW FINISHED SPACE DID I REALIZE WE NEED TO MAKE AN EXPRESS LANE TO A TRAFFIC SIGNAL HERE BECAUSE SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET T-BONED REALLY BAD HERE.
ALTHOUGH THE TRAFFIC KEENS AND THE SPEED LIMITS MAY NOT WARRANT IT, JUST A GENERALIZATION OF THE SPEED LIMITS AND THE ASSUMPTIONS THAT SOMEONE CAN MAKE DRIVING UP TO THAT INTERSECTION LEADS TO MISUNDERSTANDINGS SO I BROACHED THE COMICSER BMISSIONER BEELINIO GET A TRAFFIC RIGHT THERE AND THANK YOU FOR REFERRING TO THAT
