[E. PUBLIC COMMENTS]

OFF. >> MORNING, COMMISSIONERS AND JUDGE, WHO I WILL AFFECTIONATELY CALL BAM BAM FROM NOW ON. FIRST OF ALL I WOULD LIKE TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND THANK COMMISSIONER AND HER STAFF FOR THEIR ASSISTANCE ON A PROBLEM WHICH IS ONGOING WITH MULTINATIONAL CELL PHONE COMPANY WHICH IN MY OPINION HAS COMMITTED FRAUD, ELDER ABUSE AND OTHER CRIMES. I WILL NOT MENTION THEIR NAME AT THIS TIME. I WOULD LIKE TO THANK AND HIS STAFF ARE ASSISTING ME WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. YESTERDAY I CAME ACROSS AN EMAIL FROM THE CENTRAL APPRAISAL DISTRICT OF HAYS COUNTY WHICH FOR PURPOSES OF BREVITY I WILL REFER TO AS CAD . THIS WILL AVOID THE GENDER PRONOUN ALBUM. I HAVE MADE COPIES IS A COPY OF MY EMAIL WHICH I HAVE INCLUDED A NOTICE TO APPEAR. LET ME GO AHEAD AND READ THIS. DEAR, MISS RAVEN REGARDING THE HEARING I HEREBY REQUEST THAT YOU SEND ME ALL COMPARABLE SALES FOR THESE PROPERTIES.

[00:05:01]

DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING. >> THANK YOU, NEXT UP ,

]. >> GOOD MORNING COURT, JUDGE, LAST TIME I WAS HERE, I LEFT THIS PLACE VERY VERY UPSET. ONE OF THE THINGS I STRIVE TO DEMAND OF POLITICAL AGENCY, POLICE OFFICERS IS UNIFORMITY. I COME UP HERE AND THERE IS NO COURTROOM DEMEANOR PAPERWORK TO TELL US HOW THINGS ARE RUN HERE. THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. WANTING TO KNOW HOW THEY CONDUCT THEMSELVES WHEN THEY COME UP HERE. THIS ONE PAGE THING IS NOT GOING TO CUT IT, ONE PAGE THAT TELLS YOU HOW TO CONDUCT YOURSELF WHEN YOU COME UP HERE IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. UNIT 110 OF THE HAYS COUNTY ROAD DEPARTMENT OUTSIDE , LOOKS UGLY AND I KNOW THE DIRECTOR , THAT TELLS A LOT ABOUT THE PRIDE HE HAS WORKING HERE. AGAIN, LAST TIME I WAS HERE, I CAME UP HERE, TOOK TIME OUT OF MY BUSY DAY TO PREPARE TO COME HERE AND ASK QUESTIONS. YOU HAD A PRESENTATION BY THE PUBLIC DEFENDER, I WAS CUT OFF AND TOLD TO GO OUTSIDE, I FOLLOWED THOSE GUYS TO THE RESTAURANT ACROSS THE STREET, SAT NEXT TO THEM, THEY DID NOT WANT TO TALK TO ME. I DON'T KNOW WHY. THEY WERE IN HERE BEFORE YOU PRAISING HOW GOOD OF A JOB THEY WERE DOING. I HAD QUESTIONS ABOUT THEIR PRESENTATION THAT I WANTED ANSWERED NEITHER HERE NOR OVER THERE DID THAT HAPPEN AND IT WAS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN HERE BECAUSE THIS IS THE FORUM.

THE OTHER THING I WANTED TO BRING UP, BAD ON THE PART OF THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY TO DISTRICT ATTORNEY TO DISMISS A MURDER CASE IS BEYOND A MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE, NOW I HAVE TO REVIEW THE LAW THAT THEY PASSED TO SEE IF IT QUALIFIES TO FILE PETITION TO QUESTION WHETHER HE FOLLOWED WHAT THE LAW SAYS, THE TALK ABOUT PROSECUTORIAL DISCRETION AND LEGAL RESOLUTION, THIS IS NOT WHAT CITIZENS DESERVE FROM THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY. A GUY COMMITS A CRIME THERE NEEDS TO BE CONSEQUENCES. CLEARLY WRITTEN EVERYWHERE YOU GO NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW. I GUESS IN HAYS COUNTY WE WANT TO MAKE EXCEPTION BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT'S GOING ON. AGAIN, FOLKS, THE OTHER THING, IT IS NOW DIFFICULT TO NAVIGATE FOR THE AGENDA. HAVE TO GO THROUGH ALL KINDS OF SCREENS AND I'M NOT TECHNOLOGY SAVVY AND STUFF AND I DON'T LIKE ALL OF THAT STUFF. I USED TO BE A QUICK AND IT WILL SHOW IT. NOW I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S MR. MCGILLIS OR WHO, BUT THE PROCESS IS TYPICAL, IN ADDITION TO THE AGENDA SET UP FRIDAY IT WAS NOT, I WAS LOOKING SATURDAY SO GIVE ME LITTLE TIME TO PREPARE AND COME APPEAR AND GIVE A NICE PRESENTATION, THANK YOU.

>> K 5 DISCUSSION AND ACTION DISBURSEMENT AGREEMENT FOR CARD ISSUANCE WITH FINANCIAL SOLUTIONS LLC OWNED SUBSIDIARY

OF TYLER TECHNOLOGIES INC. >> SO MOVED.

>> SECOND. >> I KNOW THIS SOUNDS WEIRD BECAUSE SOMEONE IN THE FUTURE 20 YEARS FROM NOW WILL NOT KNOW YOU JUST PRESENTED PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND TITLE.

>> EXCITED TO BRING FORWARD AN ITEM THAT BRINGS US INTO THE FUTURE. ONE OF THE THINGS WHEN THE JURY COMES, THEY GET A CHECK MAILED TO THEM. WE HAVE WORKED WITH OUR OFFICE , THE JP OFFICE, COUNTY CLERK OFFICE, THE DISTRICT CLERK OFFICE, WE HAVE WORKED WITH THE AUDITORS AND PURCHASING, WITH GENERAL COUNSEL TO BRING FORWARD SOMETHING PRETTY EXCITING.

TYLER TECHNOLOGIES OFFERS AN OPPORTUNITY TO DISPERSE JURY CHECKS VIA DEBIT CARDS. IT'S ACTUALLY SAVINGS TO THE COUNTY WITHOUT POSTAGE , THERE IS NO CHECK FEES ANYMORE, ALL KINDS OF SAVINGS COME INTO PLAY. WE ARE PRETTY EXCITED. I KNOW THERE IS A LOT OF QUESTIONS. WE ARE JOINING A LOT OF MAJOR COUNTIES INCLUDING HARRIS WHO HAS MOVED OVER TO THIS DISBURSEMENT OPPORTUNITY. SO WHAT WOULD HAPPEN AND I WILL DO A QUICK WALK-THROUGH, THE JURY COMES IN WITH THEIR CARD, THE CARD HAS A BARCODE, THE BARCODE IS SNAPPED INTO THE SYSTEM SIGNING THEM IN, A CHECK IS ISSUED THE BARCODE IS SCANNED, CONNECTING THEM TO EACH OTHER. THEY GO TO COURT, PROVIDE JURY, DO THEIR SERVICE. THE COUNTY CLERK OR THE DISTRICT CLERK OR THE JP WHOEVER IS HOLDING COURT WILL THEN SUBMIT THE STAND INFORMATION, COMES TO ME FOR RENEWAL AND APPROVAL, I REVIEW AND APPROVE, SEND OVER TO THE AUDITOR FOR SECONDARY REVIEW.

WE HIT A BUTTON AND THE MONEY IS UPLOADED TO THOSE CREDIT CARDS. SO, NO MORE NEED FOR ISSUING A CHECK , NO MORE LOSS OF CHECKS. ADDITIONALLY IF THE CARDS ARE NOT USED WITHIN SORRY I LOST THESE SPECIFICS, 90 DAYS, THE CARDS AUTOMATICALLY GET CUT OFF AND THE MONEY IS RETURNED TO US AUTOMATICALLY TO OUR ACCOUNTS AND WE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT STALE CHECKS WHICH STALE CHECKS PLAYS A HEAVY HAND IN THE UNCLAIMED PARTIES. SO THIS ACTUALLY DOES A LOT OF HELP FOR US AT THE TREASURY AND AUDITING OFFICES. SO, WE WILL NO LONGER HAVE TO TAKE QUESTIONS FROM THE JURY, WE CAN SEND THEM STRAIGHT TO TYLER TECHNOLOGIES TO ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS WHICH ALLEVIATES A LOT OF PHONE CALLS AND CUSTOMER CARE WITH JURORS. WE ARE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS AND ABOUT THE COLLABORATION THAT WAS INVOLVED IN GETTING US TO THIS POINT AND I AM HERE

SEEKING APPROVAL. >> WONDERFUL WITH TYLER TECHNOLOGIES ON THE AGENDA, A LOT OF US I DON'T WANT TO SAY HOW MANY, BUT SOME OF US WENT TO JUDGES AND COMMISSIONER CONVENTION LAST WEEK AND PART OF THE CONVERSATION WAS HOW CUTTING-EDGE TYLER TECHNOLOGIES IS USING AI AS WELL. I AM CONTINUOUSLY GRATEFUL FOR WHAT I CAN POINT TO COMMISSIONER SCHELL AND COMMISSIONER INGALSBE, FOR TEAMING UP WITH

[00:35:03]

NAME ] IS HERE IS A GREAT DEAL OF EXPERIENCE IN DEVELOPING PROJECTS IN THE PAST.

LOT OF BEHIND-THE-SCENES GRAPHICS WORK FOR WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO SEE AND SHE WANTED TO SEE HOW THE PROCESS PLAYS OUT.

ANY MINUTE NOW, CONSULTANT. JUST EMAILED HIM AND HE IS ON THE WAY. IT WILL COME A LITTLE -- LITTLE LATER ON.

>> MARCH 24 THE COURT PASSED RESOLUTION DIRECTING STAFF TO DEVELOP A PROGRAM OF WORK FOR ROAD IMPROVEMENTS TO HAYS COUNTY. TRANSPORTATION GAUGED US AND WE HAVE WORKED CLOSELY WITH THEM AND EACH ONE OF YOU TO GET YOUR SUGGESTIONS, IDEAS AND DESIRES FOR WHAT MIGHT BE INCLUDED IN THE DRAFT PROGRAM OF WORK. WHAT WE DID IN DEVELOPING , WE TOOK THE APPROACH THAT WE USED LAST YEAR IN WILLIAMSON COUNTY WHICH RESULTED IN THE SUCCESSFUL PACKAGE LAST NOVEMBER. AS I MENTIONED, COREY WILL LAY OUT THE PACKAGE COME AFTER THAT, DAN WILL COME TALK ABOUT FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS AND THEN MIKE AFTER THAT TO TALK ABOUT POSSIBLE NEXT STEPS. WITH THAT I WILL TURN IT OVER TO CORY.

>> COREY, NOW WE ARE FACE-TO-FACE. SO IF YOU WILL STATE YOUR NAME AND TITLE FOR THE VIEWING PUBLIC

>> I PLAN TO WALK YOU THROUGH THE METHODOLOGY OF HOW WE SELECTED THE PROJECTS THAT ARE IN THE PROPOSED PACKAGE , AS WELL AS LOCATIONS AND COSTS ASSOCIATED. FIRST, WE WANTED TO FIND ALL THE SOURCES THAT WOULD MAKE GOOD LOCATIONS FOR GOOD CANDIDATE PROJECTS, FIRST CONSULTED HAYS COUNTY TRANSPORTATION PLAN AND WE ALSO CONSULTED LOCAL MUNICIPALITIES AND THEIR TRANSPORTATION PLANS, AS WELL AS RUBBLE TRANSPORTATION PLANS IN THE COUNTY AND PROJECTS SPONSORED BY COMMISSIONERS AND THE JUDGE BASED ON CITIZEN FEEDBACK. WE MAINLY FOCUSED ON PROJECTS THAT ARE ALREADY IN THE PLANNING PROCESS TO HELP KEEP CONTINUITY OF PROJECT DEVELOPMENT. WE PUT AN EMPHASIS ON PROJECTS ALREADY WITHIN THE HAYS COUNTY TRANSPORTATION. THE TYPES OF PROJECTS WE FOCUSED ON WERE SAFETY PROJECTS THAT WOULD ADDRESS SUBSTANDARD DESIGN, MOBILITY PROJECTS THAT WOULD HELP INCREASE CAPACITY THROUGH WIDENING. WE LOOKED AT REGIONAL CONNECTIVITY PROJECTS, RIGHT-OF-WAY PRESERVATION PROJECTS AND NEW PROJECTS, ALL OF THESE ARE INTENDED TO PROVIDE CERTAIN BENEFITS TO ALL CITIZENS OF HAYS COUNTY. THESE BENEFITS INCLUDE LESS ACCIDENTS AND SAFER TROUBLE, LESS TRAFFIC WITH FASTER COMMUTES AND INCREASED CONNECTIVITY WITHIN THE LOCAL COMMUNITIES WITHIN THE COUNTY AND BEYOND. I WOULD NOW LIKE TO TAKE SOME TIME TO TALK ABOUT THE COST ESTIMATES THAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO SEE. THE COST ESTIMATES WERE DEVELOPED USING PRELIMINARY DESIGN SOFTWARE FOR EACH PROJECT BASED ON ASSUMED TYPICAL SECTION, PROJECT AND PAVEMENT DESIGN. WE QUANTIFIED THE BIG TICKET ITEMS, THE HIGH COST VALUES AND WE LOOKED AT THOSE MAINLY EARTHWORK, PAVEMENT, BRIDGES , SIGNALS, CURBING, SHARED USE PATH AND DRIVEWAYS. WE THEN ADDED ADDITIONAL PERCENTAGE COSTS FOR DRAINAGE, SIGNING AND PAVEMENT MARKING, EROSION

[00:40:01]

WE PLAN TO FUND THIS PROJECT TO CONSTRUCTION AT THE COST OF $39 MILLION. THE NEXT PROJECT IS DAIRY ROAD, THIS PROJECT IS AN OFFSHOOT OF THE PREVIOUS PROJECT OF BUTTON LANE. .8 MILE LONG PROJECT AS WE FUND DESIGN AND RIGHT-OF-WAY ACQUISITION.

ON A RECONSTRUCTION OF A TWO LANE FACILITY WITH SHOULDERS AT THE COST OF $1 MILLION. THE NEXT TWO PROJECTS ON THE LIST HAVE BOTH PRECINCT 1 AND PRECINCT 2 COMPONENTS. THE NEXT PROJECT IS GOFORTH ROAD AND IT HAS FOUR SEPARATE SECTIONS.

THIS PROJECT CONSISTS OF TWO SEPARATE SEGMENTS, THE FIRST SEGMENT IS LOCATED IN RED ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SCREEN. A NEW ALIGNMENT FACILITY CONSISTING OF TWO LANES FROM THE EXISTING FM 150 TO AN INTERSECTION THE OLD STAGECOACH ROAD WE PLAN TO FUND THIS THROUGH CONSTRUCTION AT THE COST OF $49.5 MILLION. THIS PROJECT WILL HOPEFULLY BE SUPPORTED THROUGH THE USE OF A TRANSPORTATION REINVESTMENT ZONE. THE NEXT PROJECT IS SEGMENT TWO OF THAT PROJECT. IT IS THE GREEN SEGMENT LOCATED ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SCREEN.

ONCE AGAIN, A NEW ALIGNMENT PROJECT BEGINNING AT OLD STAGECOACH ROAD EXTENDING SOUTHEAST UNTIL THE INTERSECTION AT I-35. WE PLAN TO FUND DESIGN AND RIGHT-OF-WAY ACQUISITION AT THE COST OF $10.8 MILLION. THE TRC WOULD HOPEFULLY HELP SUPPORT THIS PROJECT AS WELL. THE NEXT PROJECT IS THE DRIPPING SPRINGS SOUTHWEST CONNECTION PROJECT.

THIS PROJECT WITH PRECINCT 3 AND PRECINCT 4 COMPONENTS ADVANCED AS ONE PROJECT, PRECINCT 3 PORTION IS LOCATED IN GREEN ON THE LEFT SIDE OF SCREEN. 4.8 MILE LONG PROJECT AND WE PLAN TO FUND DESIGN OF THE NEW ALIGNMENT OF FOUR LANES DIVIDED AT THE COST OF $10 MILLION. THOSE ARE ALL OF THE PROJECTS WITHIN PRECINCT 3. THIS IS A TABLE SHOWING THESE PROJECTS WITHIN PRECINCT 3 AS WELL AS LIMITS, RECOMMENDED SCOPE OF WORK AND COSTS ASSOCIATED. PRECINCT 3 WILL SEE THREE PROJECTS GO TO CONSTRUCTION, CENTERPOINT ROAD, OLD KYLE ROAD AND 150 REALIGNMENT . TOTAL COST OF ALL THESE PROJECTS IS APPROXIMATELY $109 MILLION. I WILL NOW MOVE ON TO PRECINCT ON TO PRECINCT 4 PROJECTS. AS MENTIONED DRIPPING SPRINGS SOUTHWEST CONNECTION AS A PRECINCT FORMAT COMPONENT, THE COMPONENT IS HIGHLIGHTED IN THE RED ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SCREEN. 2.4 MILE LONG PROJECT AND WE PLAN TO FUND DESIGN OF A NEW ALIGNMENT FACILITY, FOUR LANES DIVIDED AT THE COST OF $5.7 MILLION. THE NEXT PRECINCT 4 PROJECT IS THE INTERIM SECTION PROJECT. THIS LOGIC BEGINS AT THE NEWLY CONSTRUCTED SAWYER RANCH ROUNDABOUT WHICH WAS CONSTRUCTED AS PART OF THE HAYS COUNTY 2016 ROAD BOND PROGRAM EXTENDING SOUTHEAST TO AN INTERSECTION WITH FM 1826. WE PLAN TO FUND RECONSTRUCTION OF A TWO-LANE UNDIVIDED FACILITY TO LAY OUT THE FOUNDATION FOR EVENTUAL FOUR LANE DIVIDED SECTION. WE PLAN TO FUND THE TWO LANES THROUGH CONSTRUCTION AT THE COST OF $41 MILLION THE NEXT PRECINCT FOR THE PROJECT IS DARDEN HILL ROAD. THIS PROJECT IS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE EFFORT MENTIONED SAWYER RANCH ROUNDABOUT EXTENDING WEST UNTIL THE INTERSECTION FM 150. WE PLAN TO FUND DESIGN FOR RECONSTRUCTION OF A FOUR LANE DIVIDED FACILITY AT THE COST OF $8 MILLION. THE NEXT PROJECT WITHIN PRECINCT 4 IS RM 150 ROUNDABOUT, THIS PROJECT IS AT THE INTERSECTION OF RM 12 AND 150 AND IT IS AN OFFSET ROUNDABOUT . WE PLAN TO FUND THIS PROJECT THROUGH CONSTRUCTION AT THE COST OF APPROXIMATELY $8.4 MILLION. THE NEXT PRECINCT 4 PROJECT IS THE INTERIM SECTION PROJECT. THIS PROJECT BEGINS AT THE INTERSECTION OF FITZ YOU WROTE TRAVELING EAST INTO TRAVIS COUNTY. THIS PROJECT IS 3.9 MILES LONG AND WE PLAN TO FUND DESIGN AND RIGHT-OF-WAY ACQUISITION FOR RECONSTRUCTION OF A TWO-LANE UNDIVIDED ROADWAY. AT THE COST OF $26.9 MILLION. THE NEXT PROJECT IN PRECINCT 4 IS SAWYER RANCH PEDESTRIAN WALKWAY. THIS PROJECT BEGINS AT SAWYER RANCH ROUNDABOUT ON THE SOUTH SIDE AND TRAVELS NORTH INTO MEADOW CREEK DRIVE. THE FEATURES OF THE PROJECT INCLUDE A 10 FOOT SHARED USE PATH TO CONNECT THE NEIGHBORHOODS WITH SCHOOL DISTRICTS ON THE SOUTH SIDE. WE PLAN TO FUND THIS THROUGH CONSTRUCTION AT THE COST OF $3.4 MILLION. THE NEXT PROJECT IN PRECINCT 4 IS SAWYER RANCH ROAD WIDENING. THIS PROJECT IS A SIMILAR ROUTE AS THE PREVIOUS AND BEGINS AT THE INTERSECTION

[00:55:04]

PROJECT, BEGINNING AT AN INTERSECTION IN STREET AND TRAVELS NORTH UNTIL THE TRAVIS COUNTY LINE, WE PLAN TO FUND A ROADWAY STUDY TO DETERMIE THE BEST DESIGN FOR THIS AREA AT THE COST OF APPROXIMATELY $500,000. THOSE ARE ALL THE PROJECTS WITHIN PRECINCT 4 AND THIS IS A TABLE SHOWING THEIR LIMITS, RECOMMENDED SCOPES OF WORK AND THE COST ASSOCIATED.

PRECINCT 4 WILL SEE THREE PROJECTS GO TO CONSTRUCTION, DARDEN HILL PHASE 2 INTERIM, FM 150 ROUNDABOUT AND SAWYER RANCH PEDESTRIAN WALKWAY. TOTAL COST OF ALL THESE PROJECTS IS $118 MILLION. THOSE ARE ALL OF THE PROJECTS WITHIN THIS PROPOSED BOND PACKAGE. ON THIS SCREEN ON THE TOP SIDE IS THE COUNTYWIDE MAP THAT WE SHOWED AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PRESENTATION.

ON THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN IS A COLOR-CODED PRECINCT BREAKDOWN OF COST IN THIS PACKAGE. AS YOU CAN SEE THE TOTAL COST OF THIS PROPOSED BOND PACKAGE IS $450 MILLION. I BELIEVE WE HAVE ACHIEVED A GOAL OF BEING EQUITABLE TO ALL RESIDENTS OF ALL FOUR PRECINCTS WITHIN HAYS COUNTY. IN CONJUNCTION WITH PROPOSED BOND WE PLAN TO RAVAGE BOND DOLLARS BY COORDINATING WITH ADDITIONAL AGENCIES FOR PROJECT PARTNERSHIP MUCH LIKE HAYS COUNTY DID FOR THE 2016 ROAD BOND. WE HAVE BEGUN CORRELATING WITH LOCAL GOVERNMENTS WITHIN HAYS COUNTY SUCH AS KYLE, SAN MARCOS, IN DRIPPING SPRINGS AS WELL AS NEIGHBORING COUNTIES TRAVIS AND CALDWELL COUNTY.

THIS IS THE END OF THE PRESENTATION. WE WELCOME ANY

QUESTIONS. >> I KNOW WE HAVE SEEN THIS , FOR THOSE IN THE AUDIENCE, WE HAVE SEEN THIS FOR MONTHS, NUMEROUS TIMES, NUMEROUS ITERATIONS. FIRST I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR RECEPTIVENESS AS A TEAM. THANK YOU FOR YOUR WILLINGNESS TO MOVE AROUND THE CONVERSATION THAT NEEDED TO BE MOVED. THIS IS A VERY BIG DEAL ON EVERY FRONT AND NONE OF US TAKE IT LIGHTLY . MOVES IN THIS DIRECTION, STRIDES LIKE THESE NEED TO TAKE PLACE, OTHERWISE WE WILL BECOME THE WORST IN THE CENTRAL TEXAS REGION FOR TRANSPORTATION. AND SO I KNOW THIS IS A TOUGH THING, BUT I KNOW IT IS A NECESSARY THING TO START THE DISCUSSIONS NOW. SO, COMMISSIONER INGALSBE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS AT THIS

POINT? >> SURE, JUDGE, THANK YOU.

THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION, THAT WAS A GREAT PRESENTATION.

JUDGE, I THINK, AS WE CAN ALL SEE THERE IS A NEED IN THE COUNTY. TRANSPORTATION HAS ALWAYS BEEN IMPORTANT AND NEEDED INFRASTRUCTURE. IT IS SOMETHING OUR RESIDENTS USE EVERY DAY. AND IT IS STILL ONE OF THE TOP, IF NOT THE TOP ISSUE RESIDENTS CALL IN ABOUT. I BELIEVE THAT IT IS IMPORTANT TO HAVE A PROCESS TO ALLOW RESIDENTS TO DETERMINE IF THIS IS A NEED THEY ARE WILLING TO FUND. I THINK WE NEED TO ASK RESIDENTS TO SEE IF THE NEED IS THERE IF THEY FEEL THE NEED IS THERE AND IF THEY'RE WILLING TO FUND THIS, THAT IS AN IMPORTANT PROCESS WE NEED TO GO THROUGH. WE ALSO NEED TO BE CONSCIENTIOUS ABOUT THE IMPACT IT WILL HAVE ON OUR FAMILIES.

BECAUSE I KNOW, YOU KNOW WE ALL STRUGGLE AND I THINK WE NEED TO BE VERY AWARE OF THAT AND DETERMINING THOSE FACTORS. AS WE SAW, MANY OF THE PROJECTS ARE WEST AND EAST CONNECTORS WHICH ARE VERY IMPORTANT PROJECTS THAT ARE NEEDED FOR SAFETY, MOBILITY, CONNECTIVITY AND YOU KNOW, WE REALLY HAVE WORKED REGIONALLY . MEETING WITH OTHER COUNTIES , SO THAT

[01:00:05]

>> THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. VERY HELPFUL FOR THE COMMUNITY TO SEE THE DETAIL AND SEE WHERE THE FOCUS HAS BEEN OVER THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF. I MEAN, I UNDERSTAND THAT NUMBER IS A BIG PILL TO SWALLOW, ABSOLUTELY. SOMEONE LIKE MYSELF WHO HAS LIVED HERE OVER 40 YEARS, A LOT OF THE ROADS IN MY PRECINCT LOOK THE SAME THEY DID 40 YEARS AGO. SO, THE ROAD INFRASTRUCTURE ON THE EAST SIDE IS SEVERELY UNDERSERVED AND IT'S GOING TO COST A LITTLE BIT FOR US TO GET THERE. AS DIFFICULT AS IT IS TO SEE THE NUMBERS, I AM ALSO VERY OPTIMISTIC AND EXCITED ABOUT THE POTENTIAL THAT THIS IS GOING TO BRING IN TRANSPORTATION. I HAVE ALWAYS FELT BECAUSE OF RAPID GROWTH IN THE COUNTY, WORKING WITH OUR MUNICIPALITIES AND CITIES TOGETHER AND ADDRESSING ISSUES, IT'S THE BEST STRATEGY WE CAN DO AS A COUNTY MOVING FORWARD.

I THINK THAT WE ARE DOING THAT, BETTER THAN I HAVE EVER SEEN.

SO I AGREE WITH COMMISSIONER INGALSBE. WE WANT TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS, GET THE FEEDBACK FROM OUR COMMUNITY AND WATCH

THE PROCESS MOVE FORWARD. >> THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER

SHELL. >> I WANT TO THANK TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT AND GENERAL CONSULTANT FOR PUTTING THIS TOGETHER. I KNOW THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING A LONG TIME, CONTINUALLY TALKING ABOUT PLANNING AND STARTED CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THIS INTERNALLY A YEAR AGO OR SO, AS FAR AS WHERE DO WE TAKE TRANSPORTATION PLANNING IN THE FUTURE, KNOWING IT WAS 2016, THE LAST TIME WE HAD A TRANSPORTATION BOND AND I THINK IT IS A GOOD BALANCE FROM LOOKING AT IT FOR THE FIRST TIME I HAVE SEEN ALL PRECINCTS PUT TOGETHER MOST OF THE CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS ARE THE DEVELOPMENT OF PROJECTS WE HAVE STARTED PLANNING FOR OR SPEND FUNDS ON WEATHER WAS PRELIMINARY DESIGN OR RIGHTS ACQUISITIONS IN SOME CASES, SO THIS KIND OF FURTHERS THE PLAN WE STARTED IN 2016 AND WE HAVE SOME ADDITIONAL PLANNING WITH NEWLY PLANNED FACILITIES THAT WILL SET US UP FOR THE FUTURE, AS WELL. WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THIS BOTH COMMISSIONER INGALSBE AND COMMISSIONER COHEN MENTIONED HAVING AS MUCH INFORMATION AS WE CAN TO SHARE SO THE PUBLIC UNDERSTANDS HAVING BEEN AROUND IN 2016 THAT WAS A QUICK BOND PLAN PUT TOGETHER. IT WAS MUCH-NEEDED, BUT I DEFINITELY SAW THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO SOME MORE SHARING OF INFORMATION, PRIOR TO FINALIZING THE TRANSPORTATION PLANNING EFFORTS AND I THINK THIS GOES A LONG WAYS TO SHOWING FOLKS THE PLAN IMPROVEMENT, COST ESTIMATE, YOU KNOW, WHERE THEY ARE , IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO HAVE THAT DISCUSSION AND HAVE PLENTY OF TIME BEFORE MAKING FINAL DECISIONS. SO I AM VERY PLEASED WITH THAT. ALSO WANT TO FOCUS ON A FEW THINGS WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO FROM 2016 PLANNING AND ONE EXAMPLE WOULD BE THIS WEEK OR NEXT WEEK, SIGNAGE IS UP NOW, TXDOT WILL START PHASE 1 IMPROVEMENT SO THAT DESIGN WAS FUNDED THROUGH 2016.

ORIGINALLY, CONSTRUCTION WAS GOING TO BE FUNDED THROUGH THE MPO BECAUSE OF WORK ON 35 AND OTHER THINGS SOME OF THOSE FUNDS WERE DIFFERENT ACROSS THE ENTIRE REGION IN THE AUSTIN AREA METROPOLITAN PLANNING ORGANIZATION. SO, ALL COMMUNITIES SAW THAT HAPPEN. WE HAVE NOT SEEN ANY FOR THE PROJECT CALLS COMING THROUGH SINCE THEN. WHAT WE DID IN 2016 AND ALL THE WORK DONE SET IT UP FOR TXDOT TO TAKE OVER CONSTRUCTION. IT WILL START PHASE 1 AND THE FIRST SECTION OF PHASE 2 THIS FALL. SO THOSE ARE WINS. THINGS WE PUT MONEY

[01:05:05]

MUCH MUCH BETTER THAN WHAT WE HAD DONE IN THE PAST WHICH I THINK IS NEEDED AND LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUING THE

DISCUSSION. >> COMMISSIONER SMITH.

>> AS WE LOOK AT THE PROJECTS AND SET OUT ON THIS COURSE IN MARCH, ONE OF THE THINGS I WANTED TO DO IS TAKE A HARD LOOK AT THE WORK THE TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT AND THE GEC PUT IN WITH THE MASTER TRANSPORTATION PLAN AND I KNOW EVERYONE ON THE COURT AS WE ADOPTED THE PLAN AT DIFFERENT PRIORITIZATION WITHIN THE PLAN. WHENEVER I SAY DIFFERENT I DON'T MEAN INDIVIDUAL ROADWAYS, I MEAN CONCEPTUALLY HOW DO WE LOOK AT MASTER TRANSPORTATION MOVING FORWARD.

WHENEVER WE ENTERED THE PROCESS I HAD THREE THINGS TO GET DONE OUT OF THE PROCESS, FIRST WAS AND I THINK THESE ARE PROBABLY UNIFORM OR AGREED TO AMONGST ALL THE COURT, THE FIRST ONE WAS I WANTED TO LOOK WITHIN MY PRECINCT TO IDENTIFY WHAT I WOULD CONSIDER EVERY TRUE SAFETY CONCERN, HISTORIC SAFETY CONCERNS, AREAS WHERE WE HAVE CRASH DATA WHERE WE SEE GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT IN THE AREA PROMOTING UNSAFE CONDITIONS, THAT WAS THE FIRST ONE. THE SECOND WAS LET'S LOOK AT THE ARTERIAL OR THOSE ROADWAYS THAT WE HAVE WITHIN THE COUNTY SYSTEM THAT ARE ESTABLISHED AND HOW DO WE GET THE MOST BANG FOR OUR BUCK OUT OF THOSE ROADWAYS? HOW CAN WE INCREASE THE VOLUME OR GET MORE OUT OF WHAT WE HAVE. LOOK AT RENOVATIONS OR RECONSTRUCTION PROJECTS ON THE CURRENT SYSTEM AND THIRD AND LAST WAS IDENTIFY AREAS THAT ACTUALLY ARE NOT GETTING SERVICE BECAUSE OF A LACK OF A SYSTEM IN PLACE RIGHT NOW AND THEN AND ONLY THEN LOOK AT THE NEW FACILITIES. AND SO, COMING OUT OF THAT 2021 MASTER INVITATION PLAN, THAT PUT A VIEW OR REALLY KIND OF DIRECTED MY VIEW WHEN IT CAME TO SHOULD OR SHOULD NOT BE PROPOSED AT THIS TIME. I WANT TO COMPLEMENT GRC AND TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT FOR TAKING THOSE CONCEPTS AND PUTTING IN THE PAPER DOING IT IN A WAY THAT IS VERY CONCISE. I THINK IT IS EASY OR I BELIEVE LOOKING AT THE DOCUMENTATION AND INFORMATION IT'S GOING TO BE VERY EASY FOR OUR AVERAGE CITIZEN TO LOOK AT THIS AND SAY THIS IS HOW IT WILL IMPACT ME ON A DAILY BASIS MOVING FORWARD

[01:10:02]

IT IS THE BIGGEST BILL I HAVE SEEN AND WILL PROBABLY EVER VOTE FOR OR AGAINST AT THAT POINT, BUT I CAN TELL YOU THERE HAS BEEN MORE THOUGHT AND PROCESS THAT HAS GONE INTO THIS AT LEAST SINCE THE PROCESS STARTED FOR MASTER TRANSPORTATION PLAN IN 2021, TO REALLY IDENTIFY WHAT THE NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY ARE AND I WOULD AGREE THAT I DO NOT HEAR FROM A SINGLE CONSTITUENT DOES NOT HAVE A DIRECT CONCERN RELATIVE TO TRANSPORTATION. THE OTHER THING I WOULD SAY IS THAT IF WE WERE ABLE OR IF WE WERE TASKED WITH FUNDING ALL THE PROJECTS WE CURRENTLY HAVE OUTSTANDING, EITHER THE STATE OF TEXAS OR LOCAL MUNICIPALITIES AND COMMUNITIES HAVE IDENTIFIED, THIS BOND TO BE FOUR OR FIVE TIMES MINIMUM WHAT WE ARE GETTING DELIVERED FOR THE BANG FOR THE BUCK FOR THESE PROJECTS. THAT'S WHERE THOSE PARTNERSHIPS ARE SO

[01:15:02]

REALLY CREATE A SYSTEM THAT WORKS FOR EVERYONE OF THOSE INDIVIDUAL COMMUNITIES IN HAYS COUNTY. I APPRECIATE THE WORK

THAT WENT INTO IT. >> THANK YOU. IT IS REALLY COOL FOR ME TO LEARN ABOUT HOW ROADS TAKE PLACE AND UNFOLD. I WON'T TAKE 20 MINUTES EXPLAINING MY PROCESS, I'M GOING TO BE AS CONCISE AS I CAN. GETTING THE ROAD BOND IS SOMETIMES LACK OF UNDERSTANDING IN MY OPINION BECAUSE ALL THE WORK TO MAKE THINGS SHOVEL READY, THAT'S THE PHRASE COMMONLY USED. SO TXDOT OR SOMEONE ELSE CAN PICK OF THE PROJECT, TAKE IT OFF THE SHELF AND FUND ITS DEVELOPMENT. IT IS CRITICAL AND CREE AND REWARDING LIKE YOU ARE ON A DIET OR EXERCISE ROUTINE AND YOU START WORKING OUT AND YOU HATE IT AND THERE IS NO VISUAL REWARD, THAT'S WHAT THE BOND WAS. SO, I AGREE WE NEED TO GET THINGS TO THE FINISH LINE. SO I HAVE SHARED THAT AND I HAVE SAID WHATEVER WE'VE GOT TO DO TO PLAN THIS THING SO WE CAN SEE IT GET TO THE FINISH LINE BECAUSE I LOVE THE TRANSPORTATION TEAM, THEY DO A GREAT JOB IN ADDITION, IN PARALLEL HE HAS OTHER THINGS HE IS WORKING ON, NOT JUST WHAT YOU SEE BEFORE YOU. WE HAVE GOT TO SUPPORT THEM IN THE MOST COMPLETE WAY AND THIS ROAD MAPPING SO WE CAN SEE THINGS THAT THE COMMUNITY IS PAYING FOR, INVESTING IN AND VOTING FOR ARE BROUGHT TO LIFE , BROUGHT TO LIGHT, ARE USABLE IN THE NEXT FEW YEARS, NOT DECADES. SO I AM VERY GRATEFUL

FOR THAT. WHO IS NEXT? >> WELL DONE, HONESTLY. IT IS TRICKY. WHEN YOU FULLY UNDERSTAND SOMETHING, SORRY.

WHEN YOU FULLY UNDERSTAND SOMETHING, THEN AND ONLY THEN YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO SIMPLIFY IT AND NOT LOSE VALUE IN THE MESSAGE. THAT'S WHAT YOUR TEAM DID ON THIS. THANK

YOU. >> THANK YOU, JUDGE AND COMMISSIONERS. SPECIALIZED LOOK FINANCE , FINANCIAL ADVISOR TO THE COUNTY. PART OF THIS PROCESS WAS WORKING WITH YOUR TEAM TO LOOK AT CAPACITY FOR BONDS AND AFFORDABILITY OF PROJECTS BEING CONSIDERED. SO I WILL BRIEFLY GO THROUGH THE PROCESS. ONE, BOND AUTHORIZATION. IF YOU CHOSE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH A $450 MILLION BOND PROGRAM, THE BONDS ARE NOT ISSUED ALL AT ONE TIME AND THEY DO NOT HIT THE DEBT PROFILE EMITTING THE. WE ARE LOOKING AT 405 YEARS TO HAVE THOSE BONDS ISSUED. THAT IS AN IMPORTANT PART BECAUSE IT KEEPS FOCUS ON WE WERE NEVER ISSUED THE DEBT BEFORE YOU HAVE CERTIFIED VALUE IN EACH YEAR THAT YOUR BUDGET IS COMING TOGETHER AND YOU CAN SEE WHAT'S AFFORDABLE. THIS IS THE COMMON PRACTICE TO VOTE AN AMOUNT THAT TAKES 3 TO 5 YEARS OF FOCUS WITH ISSUING BONDS. THE OTHER PART OF THE PROCESS IS THE ASSUMPTIONS THAT GO INTO THE MODELS. WE USE 4.5 UP TO 5% INTEREST RATES. THROUGH MODELING AND I WILL DRAW YOUR ATTENTION BACK IN 2000, 2016, EVERY TIME WE HAVE GONE THROUGH A BOND ELECTION PROCESS, WE HEAR A LOT OF FEEDBACK FROM COMMUNITY MEMBERS WITH CONCERNS ABOUT INTEREST RATES, CAN WE AFFORD TO DO THIS? I WILL DRAW YOUR ATTENTION BACK , SINCE WE

[01:20:02]

ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. >> COMMISSIONER SMITH.

[01:25:01]

>> I APPRECIATE THE WORK YOU PUT INTO THIS FOR THOSE WHO MAY NOT KNOW, WHAT'S THE BEST WAY TO PUT THIS, I HAVE HAD YOU RUN 15 DIFFERENT SCENARIOS ON WHAT THE NUMBERS LOOK LIKE, HOW WE CAN DO THIS, HOW WE OFFSET , WHERE WE GET LOCAL MATCHES AND HOW WE CAN GET TO THESE PROJECTS THROUGH COMPLETION ONCE THEY ARE STARTED AND HOW WE CAN CREATE SYSTEMS AROUND THESE PROJECTS THAT ARE NOT NECESSARILY IN THE BOND TO SAVE MONEY UNDER THE MARKET CAP IN ORDER TO GET THOSE PROJECTS DONE. GOOD CONVERSATION OR A GOOD EXAMPLE MIGHT BE THE CONVERSATION WITH THE CITY RELATIVE TO THE CONNECTION OVER AT , ON THE EAST SIDE WHERE IT IS THE PERFECT SCENARIO TO WORK WITH THE CITY TO CREATE THAT PROJECT THAT CAN FUND THE PROJECT WITHOUT HAVING TO PUT IT IN THE BOND. THE OTHER THING I WOULD SAY IS LOOKING AT SOME SURROUNDING COUNTIES AND OTHER COUNTIES IN THE STATE THAT ARE FAST-GROWING, ONE OF THESE SCENARIOS THEY HAVE LOOKED AT IS HOW THEY GO OUT TO THE VOTERS AND HAVE I WOULD NOT CALL IT A UNIFIED RATE, BUT HOW THEY WOULD LOOK AT FUTURE FUNDING. RELATIVE TO THE TAX RATE. SINCE I HAVE BEEN ON THE COURT OR OVER THE LAST NUMBER OF YEARS THE HIGHEST TAX RATE THE COUNTY HAS HAD WAS, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, $.44 OR $.46. WHAT WAS THE HIGHEST TAX RATE ? 4692. FROM THAT HIGH WE ARE AT 30 RIGHT NOW. IS THAT THE OVERALL RATE? RIGHT, SO WE ARE TIED CURRENTLY FOR THE 25TH LOWEST TAX RATE. OTHER COUNTIES HAVE THE SAME TAX RATE, BUT AND I TELL CITIZENS THIS FOR THE COUNTY TAX RATE WE ARE TIED AT 25TH LOWEST IN THE STATE OR WE WERE LAST YEAR. SO THAT TELLS YOU WE AS A COUNTY HAVE BEEN GOOD STEWARDS OF THE FUNDING WE HAVE TO ENSURE WE TRY TO DELIVER AS MANY PROJECTS AND SERVICES AS WE CAN AT THAT RATE. ONE OF THESE SCENARIOS WE LOOK AT THAT I WANT TO SHED LIGHT ON. BEFORE I MOVE ON TO THAT, I WOULD HOPE AS WE GO TO THE BUDGET PROCESS TO LOOK AT WHETHER WE CALL FOR BOND OR WHATEVER, WE HAVE HONEST ASSESSMENT WITH CITIZENS TO SAY LOOK THIS IS DEBT WE KNOW, BUT WE KNOW TO PAY THIS OFF TO BE HONEST AND BALANCE THE CHECKBOOK FOR THE FUTURE. WE HAVE DONE A REALLY GOOD JOB OVERALL TALKING ABOUT HOW WE WANT TO DROP THE TAX RATE CONTINUALLY , BUT IN ORDER TO PAY FOR OUR SUPPER, EVENTUALLY THE BILL WILL COME AND WE HAVE TO BE HONEST WITH OUR CITIZENS BECAUSE WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE TODAY IS ORDERING DINNER. WE KNOW THE BILL IS GOING TO COME AND WE HAVE TO STOCK AWAY SOME MONEY TO PAY FOR THE BILL WHEN IT DOES COME. SO CREATING MORE OR LESS A TAX FLOOR, AS LONG AS WE HAVE THIS DEBT THIS IS WHAT IT WILL TAKE TO PAY THE BILL. BEING HONEST WITH THE PUBLIC ABOUT THAT, THAT IS SOMETHING WE CAN DO AND THAT WILL GIVE US LEEWAY WHEN WE GET THOSE GRANTS OR PARTNERSHIPS WITH OTHER ENTITIES. WE CAN TAKE A LITTLE BIT OFF THE BILL BUT WE HAVE TO BE HONEST UP FRONT THIS IS WHAT WE ARE ORDERING. WE AS A COURT CAN DO THAT IN THE BUDGET PROCESS AND PART OF THAT TO MAKE THIS SUCCESSFUL IS A SCENARIO WHERE WE DO USE SOME OTHER FINANCIAL TOOLS LIKE CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION TO DO THOSE RIGHT-OF-WAY PURCHASES AND CREATE A REAL SYSTEM WHERE WE ARE NOT HOPING EVERY, AT THIS POINT EVERY EIGHT YEARS SINCE THE LAST ASPORTATION BOND, BUT HOPING TO CASH FLOW AS FAST AS WE CAN WITH THE INCREASE IN PROPERTY VALUE WE ARE DEALING WITH HERE. THOSE PROJECTS ONCE WE HAVE THEM DESIGN, BY THE PROPERTY FOR IT, GIVEN THE DEMAND WE SEE THE PROPERTY MIGHT BE AT TIMES 10 TIMES WHAT THE VALUE WAS WHEN WE ANTICIPATED THE PROJECT. GETTING IN FRONT OF THAT COST AND SETTING THOSE FUNDS ASIDE AS WELL AS PROPERTY ACQUIRED TO COMPLETE THESE ON THE FRONT END IS THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE IT SUCCESSFUL. I APPRECIATE DAN THE PROCESS. HE DID IT WITH ME AND EVERY MEMBER OF THE COURT TO TALK THROUGH SCENARIOS TO LOOK AT THE REAL NUMBERS WITH THE BUDGET OFFICE AS TO WHAT GROWTH COULD BE AND TAKE A VERY CONSERVATIVE LOOK AT WHAT

THE RATE AND GROWTH WOULD BE. >> COMMISSIONER SMITH MENTIONED

[01:30:04]

IT IS A 20% INCREASE OVER 10 YEARS. SO QUICKLY JUST CALL THAT 2%. THAT'S ABOUT THE AVERAGE. SOME YOU'RE GOING DOWN, ONE YEAR IT WENT ON 140, WENT DOWN 80 , THE MOST IT HAS GONE UP HIS 88 YEAR AND THAT IS WHEN THE COURT ADOPTS A TAX RATE MULTIPLIED THE ASSESSED VALUE THAT'S THE RESULT. SO, FOR ME AND MY HOME IN THAT VALUE RANGE OF WHAT DAN MENTIONED THAT'S CLOSE TO WHAT THE COUNTY AVERAGE IS.

OBVIOUSLY SOME LESS AND SOME MORE. INFLATION HAS BEEN EXTREME. WE HAVE SEEN THAT AND MAYBE INFLATION AS CONSUMERS IS NOT CLOSE TO PROJECT DEVELOPMENT WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT RIGHT-OF-WAY FOR SURE AND ALSO CONSTRUCTION AND OTHER INFO STRUCTURE COST SIGNIFICANTLY OUTPACING WHAT WE CONSIDER CONSUMER INFLATION. SO I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE FOR PERSPECTIVE. WHAT ARE YOU PAYING FOR THIS THAT YOU DID 10 YEARS AGO, MY TAXES ARE $200 MORE, FROM FIVE YEARS AGO I PAY THE SAME, THE SAME IN COUNTY TAXES THAT I DID FIVE YEARS AGO. WE KNOW FIVE YEARS HAS BEEN HIGH INFLATION SO IT'S IMPORTANT TO PUT THAT IN CONTEXT. NOT JUST THE SENSE OF THE TAX RATE OR THE DEBT RATE AND THINGS LIKE THAT, BUT , WHAT IT MEANS IF THE COUNTY WERE TO SAY I MAY HAVE TO TAKE $0.02 AND FUND THE DEBT, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN TO YOU AS AN INDIVIDUAL? IT'S IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE INTO THE

PROCESS. >> THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. I DEFINITELY FEEL OPTIMISTIC AFTER HEARING YOUR NUMBERS. I AM LOOKING IN THE PAST WHAT IT MEANS TO THE INDIVIDUAL FAMILY. IF YOU HAVE TO PAY $80 MORE EACH MONTH, OR EVERY YEAR, BUT THINK ABOUT HOW SOON YOU GET HOME, HOW MUCH GAS YOU MIGHT SAVE, TO LOOK AT THE BIGGER IMPACTS OF ROAD IMPROVEMENTS IN THE COUNTY. WE SEE IT EVERY DAY ON THE NEWS.

DRIVING FROM KYLE TO AUSTIN YOU'RE IN TRAFFIC 1 1/2 HOURS EVERY DAY TO AND FROM. SO I SEE THERE'S A BIT OF A SACRIFICE, BUT LOOK AT THE BIG PICTURE. YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO GET TO YOUR KIDS GAMES SOONER, PARTICIPATE IN OTHER ACTIVITIES. AND YOU WILL BE SAFER FOR EVERYONE. THOSE ARE

[01:35:01]

SO I THINK PEOPLE HAVE TO DO THIS BUT WHERE ELSE CAN HELP THE COMMUNITY TO LESSEN THE IMPACT OF THE WALLET? WHETHER IT COMES IN FOOD OR UTILITY, WHATEVER IT IS I WANT THE COUNTY TO BE THERE FOR THEM. THIS IS MY FIRST TIME GOING THROUGH SO I AM LEARNING A LOT, TAKING IT ALL IN, ASKING QUESTIONS SO I BETTER UNDERSTAND. I WANT TO ENCOURAGE FOR MORE COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT AND INPUT AND MORE FEEDBACK FROM THE COMMUNITY. I APPRECIATE THE PRESENTATION

AGAIN. >> I ALSO APPRECIATE THE DELIVERY OF YOUR MESSAGE. I THINK IT'S EASY TO UNDERSTAND.

AT TIMES WE STRUGGLE UNDERSTANDING, BUT EVEN MORE SO THE RESIDENTS OF THE COUNTY NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THE IMPACT IS TO THEM. SO I APPRECIATE YOU LAYING IT OUT THE WAY YOU DID, LOOKING AT THE INCREASE, LOOKING TO SEE HOW IT WILL AFFECT RESIDENTS BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW AND UNDERSTAND HOW THAT WILL IMPACT THEM. I AGREE WITH MY COLLEAGUES, THIS IS KIND OF THE FIRST TIME WE HAVE LOOKED AT OTHER OPTIONS ON HOW TO FINANCE DIFFERENT ASPECTS LIKE RIGHT-OF-WAY ACQUISITION SO I IT IS GREAT TO HAVE THOSE OPTIONS TO LOOK AND SEE WHERE WE CAN MAYBE LESSEN THE BOND AMOUNT OR ADD MORE PROJECTS DETERMINING WHAT THE COURT WANTS TO DO. YES, I AGREE WITH COMMISSIONER COHEN. AS I MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY, I THINK WE NEED TO BE CONSCIENTIOUS ABOUT HOW WE MOVE FORWARD, ENSURING THAT OUR CITIZENS UNDERSTAND THEIR IMPACT OR THE IMPACT THAT IT WILL HAVE TO THEM , BUT I REALLY BELIEVE THAT , AS WAS MENTIONED , COMMISSIONER COHEN OR COMMISSIONER SHELL SAID WE ARE DOING A MUCH BETTER JOB ON HOW WE LAY OUT AND PRESENT IT TO OUR RESIDENTS AND I LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUING DISCUSSIONS TO SEE HOW WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS, THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU. FIRST TIME IT WAS PRESENTED TO ME AS A SLATE OF PROJECTS THE FIRST THING I SAID TO CARLOS WAS SHOWING WHAT'S ON THE E SIDE. BECAUSE WHAT COMMISSIONER COHEN AND COMMISSIONER INGALSBE HAVE SAID IS TRUE. THIS IS HOW THINGS HAVE UNFOLDED. I WANTED TO DOUBLE DOWN AND MAKE SURE YOU FELT SUPPORT YOU DESERVED TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD IN THE PROJECTS, IN STRIDE TO BRING ALL PARTS OF THE COUNTY UP TO SPEED. YOU GUYS ARE RIGHT, THERE ARE MAGNIFICENTLY HUGE DISPARITIES IN THE ROADS AND THIS WILL BRING THEM UP TO SPEED IN A WAY THAT'S MORE MEANINGFUL. IF WE DO THIS RIGHT, MOST TIMELY. SO FOR THE THOUSAND DOLLAR HOUSE, $80 PER YEAR. I DON'T SEE $80 A YEAR AS ANYTHING TO THINK TWICE ABOUT BECAUSE YOU ARE RIGHT, YOU GO TO A SOCCER GAME IF IT'S IN SOUTH AUSTIN TO TAKE THE TOLL ROAD OR GOING YOU TAKE A TOLL ROAD. YOU DON'T WANT TO SIT IN THE PARKING LOT KNOWN AS 35. IF WE DO THIS RIGHT WE ARE DIMINISHING ALL OF THAT EXTRA HEARTACHE INTO A BIGGER AREA AND IT'S JUST PHYSICS. BIGGER SURFACE AREA, LESS IMPACT. SO I AM GRATEFUL FOR ALL THE PROFESSIONALS THAT ARE HERE BECAUSE I'M NOT GOING TO LIE TO YOU GUYS, I'M NO FINANCIAL GENIUS, I'M NO ENGINEER, BUT THE WAY YOU PUT THIS , LEHMAN'S TERM, THAT'S WHAT WE ALL NEED SO THANK YOU FOR BEING ABLE TO SIMPLE FIVE THINGS. $80 $400,000 HOUSE. THERE IS A MYRIAD OF TAX OPTIONS WHERE WE REFER TO COUNTY ONLY THAT'S THE PIECE WE REPRESENT. ANYTHING ELSE? CARLOS, ONE MORE?

>> GOOD MORNING JUDGE AND COMMISSIONERS. I WILL BE BRIEF, WANT TO TALK ABOUT POTENTIAL NEXT STEPS MOVING FORWARD. WHAT WE WOULD DO FROM HERE IS WE CONTINUE TO WORK WITH YOUR OFFICE TO GET FEEDBACK AND WORK ON A DRAFT BOND ELECTION ORDINANCE WORKING WITH TRANSPORTATION. OBVIOUSLY DAN AND THE CLERK'S OFFICE. WE WOULD LIKE TO BRING THE FINAL PROJECT LIST IN THE DRAFT ORDINANCE BACK FOR CONSIDERATION AND REVIEW ON AUGUST 6 AND THEN BE BACK FOR

[01:40:04]

>> BEAUTIFUL, THANK YOU. FOR THE VIEWING PUBLIC TO KNOW WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS AS INDIVIDUAL COURT MEMBERS FOR A LONG TIME ALONG WITH EVERYONE ELSE INVOLVED WE ARE GOING THROUGH THIS AS SAID A MUCH-NEEDED INCLUSION WITH THE PUBLIC AS WE HAVE GOTTEN CLOSE TO WHERE THINGS ARE GOING TO BE TO SHARE WITH THE PUBLIC AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE TIME IS TICKING AND I DON'T WANT ANYONE TO FEEL FLAT-FOOTED OR SIDESWIPED. IT IS OUR INTENT TO BRING THIS TO THE NOVEMBER BALLOT, HEADS UP, THANK YOU. NO ACTION REQUIRED RIGHT? VERY GOOD. MOVING ON UP. HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY.

COMMISSIONER WOULD YOU LIKE TO LEAD THE CONVERSATION?

>> THANK YOU. WE SELECTED, THROUGH THE PROCESS SEVERAL FIRMS AND QUALIFIED THEM FOR PROJECT MANAGEMENT SERVICES IN HAYS COUNTY. THIS SPECIFIC CONTRACT WOULD ADDRESS THE GOVERNMENT CENTER SITE , THE BUILDING , AS WE KNOW WE HAVE BEEN GROWING INTO THAT BUILDING SINCE ITS CONSTRUCTION TO THE POINT NOW WHERE THINGS ARE GETTING TIGHT ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO COURT SPACE ET CETERA SO WE HAVE DONE SOME WORK OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS IN SPACE PLANNING, I BELIEVE IT'S TIME TO HIRE A PROFESSIONAL TO HELP MAKE DECISIONS ON THE PLANNING PROCESS AND PHASE IN WHICH THE COUNTY OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS CAN PLAN FOR IMPROVEMENTS TO KEEP OUR SPACE AT THE RIGHT LEVEL TO BUILD AND PROVIDE SERVICES . SO I KNOW GENERAL COUNSEL OR THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY HAS BEEN WORKING ON THE CONTRACT ALONG WITH COUNTYWIDE PURPOSE IN WE HAVE A GOOD STARTING POINT TO GET PROFESSIONAL ON THE GROUND TO

START A NEW WORKFORCE. >> THANK YOU STARTING POINT, THAT'S WHAT IT IS. A STARTING POINT.

FOLLOWED BY K EIGHT. >> DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION RFP 2024- PETE 10 SOURCE RESOURCE EDUCATION PROGRAM COORDINATOR AUSTIN TO LIFE AND AUTHORIZE STAFF IN CRIMINAL DISTRICT ATTORNEY CIVIL DIVISION TO NEGOTIATE CONTRACT.

>> WOULD YOU LIKE TO LEAD THIS CONVERSATION?

>> SURE, AFTER CONSULTING WITH THE CIVIL DIVISION IT'S RECOMMENDED WE GO AHEAD AND MOVE FORWARD WITH THE AWARD. I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THERE IS NO CURRENT FUNDING IDENTIFIED , BUT DURING THE NEGOTIATION PROCESS WE CAN CERTAINLY DISCUSS THAT AND COME UP WITH A PLAN. SO, JORDAN IF

YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD. >> I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING FURTHER. THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT.

>> CAN YOU RESTATE THAT FOR THE VIEWING PUBLIC?

>> AFTER CONSULTING WITH THE CIVIL DIVISION IT IS RECOMMENDATION TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE AWARD OF PROGRAM SORRY . PROGRAM COORDINATOR AUSTIN PETS ALIVE, IMPORTANT TO NOTE THERE IS CURRENTLY NO FUNDING IDENTIFIED. HOWEVER, DURING THE CONTRACT NEGOTIATION, THIS WILL BE DISCUSSED. WE WILL COME UP

WITH A PLAN. >> I WILL CALL THAT A RECAP OF

A MOTION IF THAT'S OKAY. >> THE ONLY QUALIFIED

RESPONDENT. CORRECT? >> THERE WERE TWO PROPOSALS

[01:45:03]

REFERENCES. >> DO WE HAVE ANY DISCUSSION?

>> YES, THE ONE THING I WOULD SAY, EVEN THE FACT THAT ANYTIME WE HAVE A CONTRACT WITH ONLY ONE QUALIFIED RESPONDENT TO MAKE THE COMMENT THAT I HAVE CONCERN RELATIVE TO THAT. AS WE LOOK AT THE CONTRACT THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS THAT I KNOW WERE IN THE RFP THAT I WANT TO ENSURE THROUGH THE NEGOTIATION PROCESS ARE ADDRESSED. YOU NEVER ESPECIALLY WITH TAXPAYER DOLLARS I ALWAYS HAVE A CONCERN WHEN WE SAY AND WE HAVE HAD THIS CONVERSATION ON ANYTHING RELATIVE FROM AC UNITS TO WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE. I WANT TO ENSURE IF WE CANNOT REACH AGREEMENT WHERE THERE ARE CONCERNS WITHIN NEGOTIATION, IF ONLY HAD ONE QUALIFIED RESPONDENT SUCH AS WE DID WITH SAGE BANK IN THE PAST WHEN WE HAVE NOT HAD ANYONE ELSE RESPOND, THERE IS , THERE IS POSITIVITY TOWARD THAT RESPONDENT BECAUSE THEY DID THE RESPONSE AND THEY'RE WILLING TO WORK WITH US, BUT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT COIN THERE IS A CONCERN THAT THIS IS THE ONLY GAME IN TOWN WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE WE'RE GETTING BANG FOR OUR BUCK. WHAT IS ACTUALLY IN THERE IS DELIVERED AT A REASONABLE RATE WITHIN THE MARKET THAT'S NEGOTIATED IN THE MARKET AND WE GET WHAT WE PAY FOR. I WOULD ASK THAT AS IT MOVES FORWARD I WOULD ENCOURAGE THE CIVIL DIVISION TO TAKE A HARD LOOK AT WHAT THE INDIVIDUAL THINGS LISTED IN THE RFP WHAT THEY ARE, LOOK OVERALL EVEN THOUGH WE DID NOT HAVE THE RESPONSE, WITH THE GOING RATES ARE FOR THOSE THINGS AND THE BIGGEST CONCERN I HAVE IS WHAT IN THE CONTRACT, WHAT DID THE ACTUAL TANGIBLE DELIVERABLES LOOK LIKE? ANYTIME WE DO CONTRACTS THAT ARE MORE ABSTRACT IN NATURE , PUBLIC OUTREACH OR GENERAL PROGRAMMING DEVELOPMENT AND THINGS LIKE THAT IT'S HARD TO QUANTIFY WHAT THE DOLLAR IS BUYING. SO I AM SUPPORTIVE TODAY. I THINK WE PROBABLY NEED TO MOVE FORWARD, BUT THOSE ARE THE CONCERNS MOVING FORWARD I DO WANT TO MAKE SURE THOSE ARE ADDRESSED.

>> THOSE ARE VALID AND I'M GRATEFUL TO THE CIVIL DIVISION DA OFFICE WE ARE SURROUNDED BY HIGHLY QUALIFIED FOLKS WHO WILL MAKE SURE THOSE THINGS ARE AUTOMATICALLY WOVEN IN. THANKS FOR THE REMINDER. THIS COMMUNITY LOVES ALL TOO MUCH WHAT'S GOING ON, WHAT WE ARE DOING AND WHAT WE LEAD THE CHARGE WITH AND WHO WE USED TO HELP US GET HERE, THERE'S NO WAY, WE WON'T GET EXACTLY WHAT WE ARE ASKING FOR SO I VERY OPTIMISTIC. IF THERE ARE NO OTHER COMMENTS.

>> I HAVE ONE. I HAVE NOT IDENTIFIED WHERE THE FUND IS COMING FROM OR DO WE HAVE AN IDEA WHAT FUND IT MAY COME

FROM? >> GOOD MORNING. HAYS COUNTY BUDGET OFFICER. UNTIL THERE IS A CONTRACT AWARD WE CANNOT DISCUSS ANY DETAILS OF THE SOLICITATION. I AM NOT AWARE OF WHAT THE PRICING IS. I WAS NOT ON THE COMMITTEE SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PRICING IS THAT WAS RECEIVED UNTIL WE CAN LOOK IN DETAIL WHEN THE CONTRACT IS AWARDED THAT THEY CAN SHARE PRICING WITH ME AND WE CAN LOOK AT THE FUNDING OPTIONS WE MAY HAVE. THE COURT DID SET ASIDE MISCELLANEOUS CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUNDS THIS YEAR FOR PROJECTS AS THEY COME UP THAT YOU DEEMED NECESSARY TO AWARD. SO DEPENDING ON THE COST OF THIS CONTRACT WE COULD USE SOME OF THAT MONEY IN THE GENERAL

FUND. >> GOOD QUESTION COMMISSIONER,

GREAT QUESTION. >>

>> ENTHUSIASTICALLY, YES. THANK YOU, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, KEP LEADING THE CHARGE BECAUSE YOU ARE BEACONS OF HOPE FOR ALL
