THE ENTIRE J SECTION. >> J 1. PLN- 2470-PC. ALL THE PUBLIC HEARING, FOLLOWED BY DISCUSSION OF POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING WOODCREEK, SECTION 22, RESERVE C, REPLANT.

>> I AM OPENING THIS FOR A PUBLIC HEARING. THOSE WISHING TO SPEAK FOR AGAINST THIS AGENDA ITEM, PLEASE APPROACH THE PODIUM. WE HAVE A TAKER. IF YOU WOULD PLEASE START THE TIMER FOR THEM. YOU'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND IF YOU HAVE A TAYLOR ASSOCIATION AS WELL GET TO BACK NAME IS KATIE DARLEY. I AM THE ASSISTANT MANAGER AT -- I AM ONE OF THE PROPERTY OWNERS FOR THIS.

>> SO I'D LIKE TO TALK THIS MORNING ABOUT THE WATER AVAILABILITY. I WANT TO MAKE A COMMENT ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENTALLY CONSCIOUS -- IT HAS SIGNIFICANTLY MORE LOTS.

AND THE CONCERNS WITH ENVIRONMENTAL PURPOSES, AS WELL AS THE NEIGHBORHOOD. THEY DECIDED TO GO AHEAD AND GENETICALLY REDUCE THAT NUMBER OF SLOTS.

>> JUST TO MAKE SURE THEY WERE NOT HAVING A REDUCTION IN THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENT. THEY ALSO HELP LAMENTED DEED RESTRICTIONS THEY PLAN TO ENFORCE ON -- LOTS. THAT WILL REQUIRE THE USE OF WATER TO REDUCE THE USAGE OF WATER BY ROUGHLY 50% FOR EACH OF THE PROPOSED LOTS.

>> I ALSO WANT TO DISCUSS WITH THE INDIVIDUAL PROPERTY OWNERS DIRECTLY , AND THAT HE DID SO PREVIOUSLY WHEN THEY MADE THE INITIAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR THIS. THAT IS HOW THEY DECIDED TO PROPOSE THOSE REDUCE LOT NUMBERS. I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT I'M ALSO HAPPY TO ADDRESS ANY CONCERNS

YOU GUYS MAYBE HAVE. >> WONDERFUL. LET ME SEE IF WE CAN GET ANYBODY ELSE WHO MAY WANT TO SPEAK AND THEN WE WILL COME BACK TO YOU. IS ANYONE LSE WISHING TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THIS AGENDA ITEM? I WILL SAY THIS . IT IS RECORDED AND 20 YEARS FROM NOW IS ALWAYS WHAT I THINK ABOUT. SO THE PEOPLE THAT CLICKED THE SITE UP MAY NOT KNOW THAT SOMEBODY'S WOKE AGAINST THIS ITEM. AT THE BEGINNING OF COURSE. SO DURING PUBLIC COMMENT SOMEONE SPOKE AGAINST AGENDA ITEM. ESTHER BAKER.

HIS COMMENTS ARE RECORDED AT THE BEGINNING. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THIS AGENDA ITEM? THE

[00:35:01]

MOVEMENT, I WILL CLOSE THIS PUBLIC HEARING. LET'S START

WITH COMMISSIONER SHELL . >> THANK YOU. I THINK -- AND KOBE PROBABLY HAVE THEIR INTRODUCTIONS

>> THANK YOU, JUDGMENT I WILL HAVE HIM COME UP AND EXPLAIN THE DETAILS ABOUT THE ITEM AND THEN WE WILL GO THROUGH ANY

QUESTIONS. >> THANK YOU.

>> GOOD MORNING COMMISSIONERS AND JUDGE BECERRA. MY NAME IS -- WITH THE PLANNING DIVISION WITH HAYS COUNTY PLANNING SERVICES IT WAS SECTION 22 REPLAT, THIS WILL CONSIST OF LOTS ACROSS 3.73 ACRES. THEY ARE PROPOSING A NEW ROADWAY TO BE MAINTAINED.

THIS IS LOCATED ALONG -- PRECINCT 3. WATER AND WASTEWATER, OF COURSE, ARE BEING PROVIDED BY AQUA TEXAS, INC. . STAFF HAS COMPLETED REVIEW PURSUANT TO TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE CHAPTER 232 IN THE HAYS COUNTY REGULATIONS AS SET FORTH UNDER THE STATUTE TIMELINES. STAFF IS GOING TO RECOMMEND DISAPPROVAL ON THIS ITEM. THAT'S BASED ON THE DEFICIENCIES AS OUTLINED IN THE BACKUP.

FOLLOWING CLEARING THE DEFICIENCIES, THE ITEM MAY BE BROUGHT BACK TO COURT FOR EITHER RATIFICATION OR APPROVAL DEPENDING ON THE TIMELINE.

>> WHAT ARE THESE DEFICIENCIES?

>> MOSTLY PLANT NOTE CORRECTIONS , SIGNATURE BLOCK SPACE , CERTIFICATION STANDARDS , DIGITAL DATA FOR GIS AND

INFORMATION SYSTEMS. >> THAT CAN BE SUMMARIZED AS A

MINISTRY HAVE? >> ADMINISTRATIVE, CLERICAL, ET

CETERA . >> AND AFTER THAT GETS REMEDIED, YOU WOULD MOST LIKELY RECOMMEND APPROVAL?

>> POTENTIALLY, YES . IF ALL DEFICIENCIES ARE CLEARED ON THE ROAD IS EITHER BUILT TO COMPLETION , MEETING HAYS COUNTY STANDARDS, OR THEY POST PHYSICAL -- FOR THE RUNWAY, THAT WOULD BE SUFFICIENT TO FILE ACTION ON THE ITEM.

>> AND IT WAS STATED, REDUCING LOT SIZES. THE NUMBER OF LOTS.

YOU KNOW WHERE CAN YOU SPEAK TO WHAT THOSE STARTED WITH THE

KNOW WHAT THEY HAVE GONE TO? >> WHEN THE ITEM WAS DRAFTED AND FROM MICRONET ARE STANDING, IT IS STILL NINE LOT. THEY ARE EACH ABOUT 1. -- RATE FIVE ACRES IN SIZE . THANK YOU,

JUDGE. >>

>> THIS PARCEL HAS A PLAN FOR DEVELOPMENT FOR SOME TIME. IT WAS MUCH MORE DENSE THAN THAT. MAYBE THREE OR FOUR YEARS AGO.

YOU CAN CORRECT ME , BUT IT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A WHILE BUT AS REMINDER FOR THE PUBLIC GOOD AS MENTIONED, WE NEED YOU TO STATUTE CHANGES LAST SESSION WHICH ARE REFERRED TO AS THE TIME -- WE HAVE ONLY 30 DAYS TO APPROVE OR DENY A PLAT. SO WE BRING THAT TO COURT IN THE PAST BUT WE WOULD NOT BRING SOMETHING TO COURT IF IT WAS DEFICIENT. THE DEVELOPER OR THE REPRESENTATIVE DEVELOPER WOULD WORK WITH THE COUNTY TO SOLVE THOSE DEFICIENCIES AND IF THERE WAS AN AGREEMENT THEY WERE MEETING OUR RULISON STATE LAW, THEY WOULD ONLY COME TO COURT THEN. BUT NOW BECAUSE OF THAT TALK, WE BRING EVERY APPLICATION AND BEFORE THAT EXPIRATION OF TIME TO EITHER APPROVE OR DISAPPROVE . WE DISAPPROVE IF IT IS NOT MET ALL OF OUR ROLES AND STATE LAW. IN THIS CASE, THE DEFICIENCIES ON THE BACKUP, AND THAT WOULD BE THE REASON FOR THE RECOMMENDATION OF DISAPPROVAL. THOSE DEFICIENCIES ARE REMEDIED AND THEN STAFF WOULD BRING THAT BACK TO COURT FOR APPROVAL AT THAT TIME. IN SOME CASES, TO RATIFY THOSE DISAPPROVAL'S.

THAT ASSERTED THE REASON WHY THIS IS --

>> A CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING BUT WILL WAIT TILL THE COMMISSIONERS DONE AND MAYBE I WILL CALL YOU BACK UP.

>> THAT IS KIND OF WHERE WE ARE ON THESE WHEN THEY COME HERE.

WE HAVE HEARD COMMENT ABOUT WATER AVAILABILITY. MAINLY RESPECTIVE TO -- I TALKED WITH MR. BAKER AND SEVERAL FOLKS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THERE IS, OBVIOUSLY, ISSUES WITH AQUA.

THEIR PERMIT FROM THE CONSERVATION DISTRICT.

>> THE LEAGUES. ALL OF THE THINGS THAT WERE MENTIONED FOR YEARS NOW. THOSE EXIST, FOR SURE. THE QUESTION IS, IS AQUA THE PROVIDER OF WATER FOR THAT AREA? AND FOR ANY LOT THAT ARE CREATED OR EXIST IN THAT AREA? I THINK THE ANSWER IS YES. THE ANSWER IS YES . THERE ARE PEOPLE USING AQUA WATER.

CURRENTLY ACROSS THE STREET. THEY ARE CONNECTED TO THE SERVICE AND USING THAT WATER BUT I DO NOT BELIEVE WE HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO DEEM WATER SUPPLY COMPANY EITHER IN GOOD STANDING, NOT A GOOD STANDING, LEGAL OR NOT LEGAL, ET CETERA FOR THE OTHER AUTHORITIES THAT DO THAT, MAINLY THE UTILITY COMMISSION IN THE STATE OF TEXAS WOULD OBVIOUSLY, THE CONSERVATION DISTRICT HAS ISSUED PERMITS FOR THE WITHDRAWAL OF GROUNDWATER WITHIN THE JURISDICTION. THAT

[00:40:01]

IS IN DISPUTE. AQUA IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THOSE PERMITS WOULD LET ME NOT TALK WAS NOT A PROVIDER OF THE PUBLIC WATER PROVIDER AND WITHIN THEIR CCN? I DO NOT BELIEVE THOSE TWO ARE CONNECTED. NOW THE COURT OF LAW, AND ALL OF THOSE LAWSUITS THAT WERE MENTIONED , I WOULD DEEM THAT AQUA IS NOT. AND THAT WOULD OBVIOUSLY TRIGGER A CIRCUMSTANCE WHERE WE WOULD HAVE A SITUATION OF WITH THE PROVIDER OF WATER FOR THAT AREA? KNOWING THERE USES OF WATER THAT AREA RIGHT NOW, WE UNDERSTAND THERE'S NO WAY THAT SOMEONE IS GOING TO TURN OFF THE WATER SUPPLY THAT SERVICES THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE. SO I THINK RIGHT NOW, WHEN IT COMES TO AQUA PROCESS LEGAL ISSUES WITH THE CONSERVATION DISTRICT AND VICE VERSA, -- WILL TELL US WHAT TO DO. IN THE MEANTIME, WHAT WE DO IS WE ACCEPT DEVELOPMENT REQUEST , WE REVIEW THEM, WE SEE IF THEY MEET OUR RULES AND STATE RULES CAN WE WORK WITH THEM TO GET THEM INTO COMPLIANCE IF THEY DO NOT MEET RULES, WE DO THIS TYPE OF A PROCESS. AS LONG AS THE WATER PROVIDER STATES THAT THEY ARE ABLE TO RIDE WATER, I BELIEVE THAT IN THIS CASE, WE HAVE TO ACCEPT THAT BUT I WOULD BE HAPPY TO HEAR ANY OPINIONS THAT MARCUS HAS OR EVEN JORDAN FROM THE LEGAL SIDE. I THINK THAT IS STILL THE WAY WE WOULD OPERATE . IN THE FUTURE, IF THIS WERE TO COME BACK TO US WITH THOSE DEFICIENCIES MET, I DO NOT BELIEVE WE COULD USE POTENTIAL LAWSUITS BETWEEN AQUA AND THE DISTRICT OR PUBLIC JURISDICTION AS A REASON TO SAY THAT AQUA IS NOT THE LEGAL PROVIDER OF WATER FOR THIS SERVICE AREA. AS LONG AS THEY ARE CURRENTLY DOING SO. IN THE STATE OF TEXAS, THE JUDGE OR A JURY WAS TO COME BACK AND SAY, WE DO NOT BELIEVE THEY HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO THIS AND THEY CANNOT ACCEPT THAT AS A LEGAL PROVIDER OF WATER, THAT WOULD BE A DIFFERENT SCENARIO.

>> OKAY. GOOD POINT. >> RECOGNIZE WHO ?

>> RECOGNIZE THE REST OF THE COURT.

>> GO AHEAD. >> THE OTHER THING I WOULD SAY, AND I THINK THAT THERE IS SOME CONFUSION , DOES IT EVERY DAY WITHIN OUR CONSTITUENCY. IT IS THE FACT THAT IN TEXAS, WE OPERATE UNDER A MINUTE OF APPROVAL WHEN IT COMES TO THE COUNTY LEVEL. AND UNFORTUNATELY, WITH THE STATE NOT ALLOWING US TO HAVE PLANNING AND ZONING AUTHORITY WITHOUT THE ADDITIONAL AUTHORITIES THAT ARE IN A FAST GROWING AREA SUCH AS OURS, THAT SHOP THOUGHT THAT WAS MENTIONED, MANDATE THAT IF THEY MEET THE REGULATION, IF THE DEVELOPED MEANT -- PRESENT WHAT WE HAVE SET FORTH, THEN WE MUST APPROVE THOSE THINGS. GIVEN THE CLOCK, NOW WE HAVE TO DO IT WITHIN 30 DAYS. THAT DOES NOT REALLY PROVIDE US SOME REAL CONCERNS. OR AT LEAST ME. WHEN WE LOOK AT THE AQUIFER. BUT THE TO REVIEW OF THE APPLICATION SUCH AS THIS WHERE IF EVERYTHING WAS IMMEDIATELY READY TO GO, IT WOULD BE APPROVED TODAY. I MEAN, WE WOULD VOTE TO APPROVE IT TODAY.

THE DEFICIENCIES TODAY GIVE US SOME TIME, SOME ADDITIONAL TIME TO REVIEW. BUT I THINK ON BEHALF OF THE CONSTITUENTS ON THE WESTERN SIDE BUT I KNOW Y'ALL HAVE ISSUES SIMILAR ON THE SITE. ESPECIALLY IN THE WEST SIDE WHEN DEALING WITH THE AQUIFER BUT I KNOW COMMISSIONER SHELL AND I DEAL WITH ON A DAILY BASIS THE THINGS THAT I NECESSARILY WOULD NOT SUPPORT OR WOULD NOT LIKE BUT I DO NOT THINK THIS ONE FALLS UNDER THAT CATEGORY. BUT IF THEY MEET OUR ROLE IS, THEN WE HAVE TO APPROVE THEM. AND I THINK WE'RE GOING TO SEE MORE AND MORE OF THESE. ESPECIALLY IF THE STATE LEGISLATURE CONTINUES TO NOT LET US HAVE SOME AUTHORITY. I DO APPRECIATE OUR STAFF, LOOKING AT THE SHOP CLOCK IN BRINGING THESE BACK FOR APPROVAL BUT I WANTED TO SHARE WITH THE COMMISSIONERS COURT THAT WE HAVE SOME MEETING IN THE LAST WEEK WITH DEVELOPMENT SERVICES, ALONG WITH SOME OF OUR AND CORONATION WITH THE FIRE MARSHAL AND TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT. THAT'S A LOOK AT HOW WE CAN STREAMLINE THOSE PROCESSES TO COME BACK. INSTEAD OF LOOKING AT THESE AS AN INDIVIDUAL APPROVAL OR DISAPPROVAL, LOOKING AT, DOESN'T TRULY MEET THE REGULATIONS AMERICAS IT WITHIN THE SHOP CLOCK? CAN WE CLEAN UP THE AGENDA IN ORDER TO SAY, THESE MEET OUR APPROVAL PROCESS? THESE DO NOT. AND LOOK AT THOSE IN BULK. INSTEAD OF ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO TRY TO REALLY ASSESS WHAT THOSE DEFICIENCIES ARE AND CATEGORIZE THEM IN A WAY WHERE THE GENERAL PUBLIC CAN LOOK AT IT AND SAY, OKAY, HERE'S WHAT THEY HAVE DONE . HERE'S WHAT THEY HAVE NOT DONE. WE CAN APPROVE THOSE IN A WAY THAT IS MUCH MORE EFFICIENT FOR THE COURT.

>> JUDGE, I CERTAINLY AGREE WITH COLLEAGUES. I THINK WE'VE ALL HEARD THE CONCERNS FROM THE SURROUNDING TEXAS. I DO NOT

[00:45:02]

BELIEVE WE CAN, YOU KNOW, TAKE THAT AS DENIAL OR APPROVING OTHER WAY. THEY NEED TO BE LOOKED AT SEPARATELY. YEAH.

>> OKAY. ANYTHING ELSE TO CONTRIBUTE ?

>> NOT AT THIS TIME, JUDGE. THE COMMENTS ARE REFLECTIVE OF THIS APPLICATION. STAFF HAS AN IMMEDIATE PURSUANT TO THE REGULATIONS WITHIN THE 30 STATUTORY DAYS. I WANT TO ADD ONE MORE COMMENT FOR CONTACTS. THAT THERE BE STATUTORY DAYS UPON INITIAL REVIEW. WHEN STAFF IS MADE A DETERMINATION, ANY RECITALS AFTER THAT A SUBJECT A 15 DAY TIMEFRAME. IT CUTS IT IN HALF. THAT MAKES THE COURT AGENDA A LITTLE MORE TOUGHER.

THAT IS WHY WHEN THERE ARE RESUBMITTAL'S APPLICATIONS, YOU WILL SEE ITEMS FROM THE LIST , J 3 THROUGH 6 FOR THAT IS RATIFICATION BECAUSE WE MEET EVERY TWO WEEKS. AND 15 DAYS IS RIGHT IN THE TWO WEEK MARK. AT TIMES THIS DEPARTMENT HAS TO MAKE A DETERMINATION WITHIN THOSE 15 DAYS BECAUSE IF WE DO NOT MAKE A DETERMINATION, IT IS SUBJECT TO AN OPERATION BY LAW APPROVAL. SO THE COURT DEPARTMENT DOES NOT HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE THE DETERMINATION IF NONE IS MADE WITHIN 15 DAYS. I WANTED TO AT THAT POINT THAT RESUBMITTAL'S ARE SUBJECT TO A 15 CALENDAR DAYS STATUTORY .

>> THANK YOU. I LIVE ARTICLES THE PUBLIC HEARING, YOU WANTED TO ADD SOMETHING? STATE YOUR NAME AND TITLE.

>> >> APOLOGIES FOR MISSING THE PUBLIC HEARING. -- SILVER SPRINGS ALLIANCE. WE SHARE AN EASEMENT WITH HAYS COUNTY AND WITH THE WATERSHED ASSOCIATION . WE ARE IN SUPPORT OF THE COMMENTS RECEIVED BY DAVID AKER. HE ASKED ME TO SUBMIT THESE LETTERS INTO THE RECORD OF THE COURT. I REALLY WANTED TO MAKE SURE I SPOKE THAT I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY. THIS RACE IS A REALLY IMPORTANT TOPIC. WE UNDERSTAND THAT HANDS ARE TIED TODAY. WE'RE HOPEFUL TO HAVE CONVERSATIONS WITH YOU ON A CONTINUING BASIS ABOUT THIS ISSUE BECAUSE IT IS NOT A GREAT SITUATION FOR THE HAYS COUNTY TO BE TIED FOR THE WATER INITIATIVE. THIS IS A PROBLEM.

JACOBS WELL WAS DRY 200 DAYS LAST YEAR. THE GROUNDWATER IS IN QUESTION. WE NEED TO HAVE BETTER WATER AND GROUNDWATER MANAGEMENT AND WE NEED YOUR PARTNERSHIP WITH THAT. BOTH AS GENERALLY, BUT ALSO FOR JACOB'S WELL. THANK YOU.

>> OKAY. THANK YOU, SIR. >> JAMES WHITE . I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE A FEW MOMENTS. I BELIEVE THAT THIS COURT -- OVER PROBABLY DECADES NOW, HAS BEEN EXTREMELY INVOLVED IN THIS TYPE OF AN ISSUE. MAYBE AS INVOLVED AS ANYBODY HAS BEEN IN THE STATE . THERE ARE REASONS FOR THAT. WE ARE IN AN AREA WHERE THOSE CHALLENGES EXIST. -- IN THAT COUNTY FOR YEARS BUT ALL OF WESTERN HAYS COUNTY IS BUILT ON THE BACKS OF GROUNDWATER WHICH CREATES THIS PERFECT STORM SCENARIO. LIMITED SUPPLY.

AND ALL OF THIS PREDOMINANTLY -- I BELIEVE THE COURT HAS BEEN EXTREMELY ACTIVE , HAS COLLABORATED WITH OTHER CONSERVATION DISTRICTS BUT WE HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY ACTIVE ON GROUNDWATER ISSUES WE'VE INVESTED MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN GROUNDWATER SCIENCE. SO I WOULD NOT WANT TO TAKE AWAY FROM THIS FOR THIS IS US LOOKING IN THE DIRECTION I THINK THIS IS OUT OF OUR HANDS. WE DO NOT HAVE ANY AUTHORITY . IT IS NOT OUR PROBLEM AND WE JUST GO ABOUT OUR LIVES. THAT IS NOT WHAT THIS BILL HAS DONE OVER THE LAST 20 YEARS, IN MY OPINION.

WITH AN EXTREMELY ACTIVE, TRYING TO FIND SOLUTIONS THAT WORK. ULTIMATELY, THERE WILL NOT BE ENOUGH GROUNDWATER FOR THE GROWTH THAT IS OCCURRING. I THINK WE CAN ALL SAY THAT.

THERE COULD BE SOME ARGUMENT THERE IS NOT ENOUGH GROUNDWATER FOR OUR CURRENT POPULATION IN THE WEST , ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING HOW THAT GROUNDWATER IS BEING MANAGED.

THAT IS A VERY MULTIFACETED ISSUE. THERE ARE A LOT OF WAYS WE CAN TALK ABOUT MANAGING. WHETHER IT IS WASTING, CONSERVING, ET CETERA. WHAT IS THE SOLUTION TO THAT? WE USE LESS WATER. WE DO A BETTER JOB OF MANAGING IT. AND MORE THAN LIKELY, YOU WILL HAVE TO COVER MORE OF THAT WATER SUPPLY IF THAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN BUT I KNOW THAT MAKES THIS A VERY COMPLICATED ISSUE. THERE IS NO ONE PIECE OF THAT THAT ANY OF US CAN SOLVE ON OUR OWN. RATHER IT IS A STATE OR GROUNDWATER DISTRICT. A PUBLIC UTILITY OF ANY TYPE. IT IS GOING TO REQUIRE CONSTANT COLLABORATION. I BELIEVE THIS COUNTY HAS BEEN A LEADER ON. I WILL CONTINUE TO BE UNDERSTANDING THIS IS AN EXTREMELY IMPORTANT ISSUE TO ALL OF OUR RESIDENTS HERE.

AND ALL OF THOSE THAT COME VISIT. THANK YOU, JUDGE .

AND THE SHERIFF DUTIES FOR THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, WHICH INCLUDE HAVING A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER PRESENT EVERY TIME WE CONVENE.

AND THE CUSTODIAN OF EARLY VOTING BALLOT. IN THE SELECTION, THAT WILL BE BY THE COUNTY AUDITOR OFFICE SINCE WE HAVE , IT WOULD GO TO THE SHERIFF ON THE BALLOT, GO TO THE JUDGE.

THE DETAILED INFORMATION. WE ARE GOING TO WORK WITH I.T. AND ELECTIONS TO MAKE SURE THERE IS EVERYTHING WE NEED. ON THE ELECTIONS BOARD, I FOLLOWED UP WITH GOING OFF TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE THE PROPER ARRANGEMENT OF TOOLS. FOR THAT LOCATION. GOOD JOB, GOOD JOB. EVERYONE THAT WAS INVOLVED.

>> FOR THE RECORD, I WILL STATE OF THE PRESENT BALANCE FOR THE EARLY BETTING, WE HAVE FOUR IN PRECINCT 1. THAT SHOULD BE ON THE LAST PAGE. THREE IN PRECINCT TWO AND THREE AND PRECINCT 3 AND THREE IN PRECINCT FOUR. THAT IS TYPICALLY THE LOCATIONS WE USE.

>> COMMISSIONERS GIVE US AN YEAH, I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE CITY OF DRIPPING SPRINGS FOR WORKING WITH US OVER THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS BUT IF YOU'RE A MEMBER, WHATEVER WE PASSED THE PARKS AND OPEN SPACE LINE, PART OF WHAT WE HAVE DONE A MOST OF THOSE AGREEMENTS, AND LOCAL AGREEMENTS , WE PROVIDED FUNDING. WE HAVE ASKED THEY PROVIDE THOSE LOCATIONS AS EARLY POLLING LOCATIONS . OR AT LEAST WORK WITH US TO HAVE THOSE LOCATIONS BE ELECTION DAY LOCATIONS.

>> I WILL HAVE AN AGENDA ITEM WORKING WITH JENNIFER'S OFFICE IN THE FUTURE. THEY HAVE VOLUNTEERED THIS STORY. THAT'S TO HELP US MAINTAIN SOME FACILITIES THAT WE COULD ACTUALLY USE DURING TIMES OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT. BUT TEMPORARY FACILITIES TO PLACE AT DRIPPING SPRINGS RANCH PARK IN PERPETUITY FOR THE EARLY POLLING LOCATION. EVEN IF THEY HAVE A VENT AT THE RANCH PARK ITSELF, THEY COULD BE SET UP IN THE PARKING LOT. TEMPORARY FACILITIES THAT WE COULD USE FROM THIS POINT FORWARD. BECAUSE IT IS SUCH A LARGE POLLING LOCATION, AND WE ARE CONCERNED WITH OVERALL SCHEDULE ABILITY FOR THAT LOCATION. RIGHT NOW, AS WE LOOK AT THE ELECTION DATE, AT LEAST FOR THE NEXT TWO OR THREE YEARS, THAT FACILITY IS ALREADY BOOKED OUT. THEY'RE TRYING TO WORK WITH US TO ENSURE THEY HAVE THE SPACE FOR US TO PUT SOME TYPE OF TEMPORARY FACILITY THAT FOR US WOULD BE PERMANENT DURING EVERY ELECTION.

THERE ARE A COUPLE OF EXTRA THINGS I WOULD LIKE TO SAY. AS IT STANDS NOW, IF YOU LOOK HERE, WE HAVE QUITE A FEW PEOPLE JUMPING ON THE BALLOT THIS NOVEMBER. SO THAT WILL CAUSE SOME SLOWDOWN IN VOTING.

IN THE LINES AND EVERYTHING ELSE. ESPECIALLY BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN TOLD THE CITY OF AUSTIN AND THE CITY OF -- ALSO WANT TO RUN CHARTER AMENDMENT ELECTIONS ON THIS. SO RIGHT NOW, WE ARE

[01:00:03]

NOT SURE IF IT WILL BE LEGAL PAPER BALLOT, WHICH ALSO CAN PRESENT CHALLENGES. GENERALLY WITH LEGAL. PAPER BALLOTS, WE SEE MORE PAPER JAMS. PEOPLE STAND UP AGAINST THE VOTING MACHINE AND IT DOES NOT TAKE THE PAPER AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

I WANT TO MAKE THAT, RIGHT NOW, IF YOU SEE SOME SLOWDOWNS, IT COULD BE BECAUSE WE HAVE A LOT TO VOTE ON AND BECAUSE WE MIGHT BE USING THE LARGER PAPER. SO YOU'LL HAVE TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ON EXACTLY WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE AND HOW TO MITIGATE THOSE PAPER JAMS. RIGHT ON THE BALLOT AS IT STANDS, IF WE ARE RUNNING AN ELECTION AND NOBODY GETS TO CANCEL THEIR ELECTION, IT WILL BE THE CITY OF BOSTON, THE CITY OF SAN MARCOS WANT TO HAVE A TAX ROLLBACK ELECTION. THE CITY OF KYLA, THE CITY OF BUDA, THE CITY OF WOODCRAFT, AUSTIN TRINITY COLLEGE, HAYES TRINITY GROUNDWATER DISTRICT, EDWARDS AUTHORITY, JEFFERSON SPRINGS LIBRARY, SAN MARCUS , I'M SORRY. SAN MARCO'S IS HAVING THE TAX ROBOT. THIS IS THEIR REGULAR ELECTION PERIOD.

AND ALSO, I HAVE GOTTEN THE CITY OF DEER CREEK AND WE HAVE

SEVERAL -- >> THE VISIBLE UTILITY

DISTRICTS. >> YES.

>> I WOULD LIKE TO ADD A COUPLE OF THINGS FOR NUMBER ONE THE REASON WE ARE HOLDING ELECTIONS IS BECAUSE THERE IS A BIG SLICE OF AUSTIN THAT IS IN HAYS COUNTY. SO WE HAVE THE OBLIGATION TO RUN THAT. IN THE SECOND THING IS ONE OF THE BEST BOXES FOR VOTING IS AT THE BUDA CITY HALL. THEY ARE ONE OF THE BEST AND FASTEST MOVING.

>> I KILLED SOME TIME FOR YOU.

>> THANK YOU. GOOD MORNING.

THE GENERAL RATE IS UP 1 $.23 TO HELP OFFSET -- THAT WE FAMOUSLY FUNDED UNDER THE ARPA PROGRAM. TO ADDRESS MAINTENANCE -- REPLACEMENT. SO IN FY 23, -- WAS EXPENDED OVER 5.5 MILLION IN BOND RELATED EXPENSES, AS WELL AS ONE 5 MILLION SO FAR THIS YEAR. THERE -- THEY ARE CURRENTLY ON TRACK TO SPEND CLOSE TO 20 MILLION IN THIS POND BUDGET YEAR. WE CUT THEIR RATES OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS. SO WITH THE EXPENSES, THE ADDED EXPENSES OF THE BOND PROGRAM. SOME OF THE SHORTFALLS IN THE BOND PROGRAM THEY HAVE PICKED UP, IT IS NECESSARY TO HAVE ADDITIONAL TO HELP MAINTAIN THOSE OPERATIONS. LASTLY, THE DEBT RATE IS RUNNING FLAT THIS YEAR. THE INCREASE IN THE NEXT BUDGET CYCLE FOR THE 2024 ELECTION. THERE WERE APPROVAL RATES. WITH THE CURRENT AVERAGE HOMEBUYER DOWN FROM LAST YEAR, THIS TAX RATE RESULTS IN AN INCREASE FOR THE AVERAGE HOMEOWNER. IF ADOPTED, THIS TAX RATE WOULD HAVE TWO ESTIMATES OF APPROXIMATELY 100 POINT IN THE GENERAL FUND, 13.7 MILLION IN THE -- FONDA, AND 37 MILLION IN THE -- FUN. INTEREST PAYMENTS ARE MOSTLY ATTRIBUTED TO -- FUND BUDGETS. THE TAX REVENUE HAS BEEN CERTIFIED BY THE COUNTY.

>> ON PAGE FIVE, THE TOTAL FY 25 EXPENDITURES OF 337 MILLION ARE DOWN APPROXIMATELY 7.2% FROM THE CURRENT FY 24 BUDGET.

HOWEVER, THE GENERAL FUND BUDGET HAS INCREASED BY 7.9 MILLION, OR 5.4%. THIS INCREASE IS ATTRIBUTED TO THE TRANSFER OF ARPA FUNDED PROGRAMS . 2.9 MILLION. IT ALSO INCLUDES 3.7 MILLION FOR COLLECTIVE BARGAINING MARKET INCREASES.

THAT IS AN ESTIMATE ONE .75 MILLION FOR NEW POSITIONS. ALSO , HALF 1 MILLION FOR POSITIONS POSITIONS AND AN ADDITIONAL POSITION CUT THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY GRANT FUNDED. SO WITH THE SALARIES, THAT IS ONE OF OUR GREATEST EXPENSES. THE TOTAL SALARIES AND BENEFITS HAVE INCREASED 12% OVER THE CURRENT BUDGET. AND 36% OVER 2023 SINCE THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE NEW -- CAPITAL OUTLAY HAS DECREASED AROUND 35%. THIS DECREASE IS DUE TO MAINLY ALLOCATION OF MISCELLANEOUS CAPITAL PROJECTS. RECAP OF CAPITAL EXPENSES . THE TOTAL IS OUTLINED ON PAGE NINE.

[01:25:05]

>> THE POSITIONS, I DID WANT TO TOUCH ON SOME OF THE POSITIONS THAT WERE ADDED. AS WELL AS THE POSITIONS THAT WERE MOVED FROM THE ARPA FUNDS. I HAVE A DETAILED LIST OF ALL OF THE REPORTS AND BUDGET PLANNING AS WELL. SO ONE OF THE POSITIONS ADDED WAS A TAX AUDITOR FOR THE COUNTY AUDITOR. FOR THE DISTRICT COURT'S CURRENTLY. THE BAILIFF, THE DISTRICT COURT HAS FIVE BAILIFFS AND AN ASSISTANT. SIX QUARTS AND THE VISITING COURTS. THEY DO NOT HAVE A RELIEF FACTOR OR AN ADDITIONAL BAILIFF SO THEY WERE TO LEAVE WITH THE JUDGE. IN THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE, THE POSITIONS THAT WERE ADDED, THEY WERE MAINLY, THERE WERE TWO POSITIONS ADDED RELATED TO EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS. CURRENTLY, THERE WERE NINE VACANT POSITIONS BUT THEY ARE LOOKING TO BUILD THOSE. THEY ARE TRYING TO MANAGE THE , LET'S SEE. TWO MANAGERS THAT ARE DOING CUSTODY OF RECORDS RIGHT NOW. THEY NEED TO INAUDIBLE ] TO HELP WITH THOSE DUTIES. AND ANY ADDITIONAL -- AN ADDITIONAL MANAGER WOULD ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO HELP WITH THE -- THEY ANTICIPATE. OVER A YEAR.

THERE WAS ONE ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF ADDED. CURRENTLY, THEY HAVE THREE ADMIN POSITIONS FOR THE ENTIRE JAIL POPULATION.

THAT IS OVER -- THIS PHYSICIAN IS NEEDED TO HELP WITH THE FACILITY MAINTENANCE AND TRANSPORTATION DIVISION.

ADDITIONALLY, THEY DID REQUEST FOUR COLLECTION SPECIALIST.

THERE WERE TWO ADDED IN THIS BUDGET. THEY WILL ADD A SPECIALIST TWO WHICH WAS ADDED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE INAUDIBLE ] SO THEY ASKED FOR A LEVEL OF CORRECTION SPECIALIST TO ASSIST WITH THAT.

DEVELOPMENT SERVICES. THERE WAS A TOTAL OF SIX POSITIONS REQUESTED. THERE ARE TWO IN THE BUDGET. THERE IS A SPECIALIST THREE. THIS IS TO HELP PEOPLE WITH THE DEVELOPMENT AND AN EFFORT TO ESTABLISH SPECIALIZED PROGRAMS FOR THE ON-SITE SEWAGE FACILITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL FOOD ESTABLISHMENTS.

THERE IS A POSITION ADDED TO BUILDING MAINTENANCE FOR THE HVAC TECH MISSION. WE CURRENTLY SPEND QUITE A BIT ON CONTRACTS FOR HVAC EVENTS. THIS POSITION WOULD HELP OFFSET THOSE COSTS.

ADDITIONALLY, THERE WERE 12 POSITIONS REQUESTED IN THE -- DEPARTMENT. THIS BUDGET INCLUDES SEVEN , EFFECTIVE APRIL 1ST, WITH THE ANTICIPATION OF OPENING -- NEXT SUMMER.

ALSO IN THIS BUDGET THERE IS 900,000 IN THE GENERAL FUND AND 150,000 IN THE RICH FUND FOR THE -- PLAN INCREASES. AS WELL AS A LITTLE OVER 300,000 FOR THE FUNDING OF POTENTIAL DIRECTORS FOR REQUESTS FROM THE COUNTY JUDGE AND COMMISSIONER COHEN TO APPROVE FUNDING FOR HEALTH DIRECT OR, AS WELL AS A COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR. THOSE FUNDS HAVE BEEN SET ASIDE . THE POSITIONS WOULD HAVE TO BE DEVELOPED AND IMPROVED IN THE BUDGET PROCESS.

ARE RECAP OF THE CAPITAL EXPENDITURE TOTALS AS OUTLINED ON PAGE NINE. NO DETAILED LIST OF RESULTS. IF YOU MAINTAIN THE USE OF RESULT AS RECOMMENDED, THE RECOMMENDED FUND BALANCE WILL BE APPROXIMATELY 60 ONE .4 MILLION. ON THE CAPITAL EQUIPMENT , THERE WAS SOME POSITION THAT MEANT ITEMS WERE

[01:30:08]

NOT INCLUDED IN RESERVES. THEY WERE $357,000 FOR AC REPAIRS.

AS WEAS 75,000 -- OFFICE. I DID SPEAK WITH THE I.T.

DEPARTMENT AND IS ALLUDED TO MAINTAIN COMPLIANCE FOR ANY MACHINES THAT ARE ON THIS . THERE IS ALSO $225,000 FOR REPLACEMENT COMPUTERS THAT WOULD ADD A WARRANTY OR SWITCHING OVER TO THE EDI'S.

I USE OF RESERVES WAS AT A LITTLE OVER 8 MILLION. THERE IS A LIST OF THOSE ITEMS ON THERE. IT DOES INCLUDE 5 MILLION FOR MISCELLANEOUS PROJECTS FOR THE COURT TO IDENTIFY. ANTICIPATION OF 1.5 MILLION FOR FY 24 COMMITMENTS THAT WERE PREVIOUSLY MADE.

WITHIN THE BUDGET ALLOCATIONS. THE REQUESTED RUNNING FOR THESE AGENCIES WAS OVER ONE .5 MILLION WITH THE RECOMMENDATION WITH THE PLAT AT THE CURRENT FUNDING LEVEL. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A 25 THOUSAND DOLLAR ALLOCATION AND A DISCUSSION FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION TO DISTRIBUTE.

THERE IS ONE REQUEST FROM THE CITY OF BUDA. FOR ASSISTANCE WITH THE TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM BEING DISABLED. THOSE FUNDS WILL MOVE OVER TO THE ARPA FUNDS . THE $21,000 REQUEST.

THAT WAS AS A RESULT OF THE JUNE 4TH DISCUSSION WE HAD ON THE FLOOR. BUT THAT PROGRAM IS GOING TO BE SPLIT. LASTLY, I HAVE INCLUDED A RECONCILIATION OF THE ARPA FUNDS. THAT WILL ALLOW FOR SOME OF THE PROGRAMS TO REMAIN UNTIL THE TIMBER 30TH. WITH ADDITIONAL FUNDING NEEDED IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN THE CONTRACT FOR THE PUBLIC -- OFFICE. THE REVISED BUDGETS WILL DEPLETE THE INCREASING ONE, TWO, THREE A LIQUIDATION AND REDUCES THE FOUR ALLOCATION BY 500,000. IF APPROVED, I RECOMMEND ALLOCATING -- AS THE CONTRACT IS FUNDED.

THE CONTRACTING TO BE EXECUTED AND ALL THE COMMITMENTS THEY TO BE FINALIZED BY DECEMBER 5TH. PART OF WHAT WE HAVE MOVED OUT OF THE FUNDS ARE THE PRETRIAL SERVICES DIVISION. REGISTRATION , MENTAL HEALTH DIVISION. THE TWO CONSTABLE POSITIONS. MOVING TO THE GENERAL FUND. AND THREE CORPORALS AND FOUR ESSO'S THAT

WE PREVIOUSLY VETTED. >> AND PDO IS?

>> THE PDO IS MAINTAINED IN THE ARPA FUND . THAT IS WHAT IS NEEDED FOR THE ADDITIONAL ALLOCATION FOR THE ADDITIONAL

PRECINCTS. >> WE CAN FUND THE PDO HERE. SO WE HAVE THE CONTRACT IN PLACE. THE FUNDING IS AVAILABLE. THE ROUGHLY 570,000 -- 577,000 WOULD NEED TO BE COMMITTED BY --

>> WEEK AT 11:00 BUT WILL HAVE BUDGET WORKSHOPS AUGUST SIXTH.

ALSO, THE 14TH AND THE 20TH OF THE PUBLIC HEARING WILL BE HELD ON THE 20TH TO VOTE ON A PROPOSED BUDGET , ET CETERA TAX RATE , AND

>> AND WE HAD VERY MANY PEOPLE REQUEST TO COME SPEAK?

>> THE BUDGET WILL GO OUT TODAY. SO THE RECOMMENDED BUDGET AT THIS POINT. I HAVE THE DOCUMENTS HERE TO UPDATE ALL OF YOUR BUDGET FINDINGS. AND ALL OF THOSE REPORTS WILL BE ONLINE. THEY WILL BE EMAILED OUT .

>> AND THEN THE QUESTIONS WILL BE --

>> YES. >> QUESTIONS?

[01:35:06]

>> THANK YOU. ALWAYS FIT SINCE I FIRST GOT INTO OFFICE, I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN AMAZED AND IMPRESSED . ORIGINALLY, IT WAS YOU AND -- WORKING ON THIS TOGETHER. IT IS JUST A REAL GIFT TO HAVE YOUR SKILL SET HERE.

>> ONE OF THE THINGS I HAD A CONVERSATION WITH VICKI ABOUT HIS SHE WAS PUTTING THIS TOGETHER WITH THE FACT THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL COMMUNITIES WITHIN OUR COUNTY THAT WE PROVIDE DIRECT SERVICES FOR. WE DO NOT UNDER CONTRACT, BUT WE DO NOT FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE COUNTY. THOSE ARE HIS ASHLEY WHEN IT FALLS INTO MARK'S DEPARTMENT. WE OFFER OUR SERVICES , EITHER FOOD INSPECTION SERVICES, OR OTHER SERVICES OUT THERE. AS WE START TO LOOK AT THE NUMBERS, IT IS BECOMING AT LEAST TO ME, AND I KNOW OTHER MEMBERS OF THE COURT MAY NOT SHARE THIS IT IS BECOMING MORE APPARENT THAT WE HAVE CITIZENS IN OUR COUNTY SUPPLEMENTING THOSE COMMUNITIES BECAUSE THOSE PROGRAMS DO NOT PAY FOR THEMSELVES OR THEY HAVE

NOT BEEN PAYING FOR THEMSELVES. >> AT A CERTAIN POINT, YOU KNOW, I THINK IS A HARD CONVERSATION WITH THOSE COMMUNITIES. WE HAVE TO SAY, LOOK AT OTHER PAY WHAT IT COST TO DO THIS, FULL FREIGHT. OR BESIDE TO BECOME ALL FULL-SCALE CITY THAT OFFERS ALL OF THESE SERVICES . 11 WHENEVER THE BUDGET OFFICE OR NOT AND ARE SAYING SOMETHING. BUT EITHER PAY FULL FREIGHT FOR WHAT THE COST IS TO THE OTHER CITIZENS OF THE COUNTY, YOU NEED TO ASSUME THOSE ROLES AND DO IT AS A CITY BECAUSE THAT IS THE EXPECTATION OF YOUR CITY. SO I WOULD ANTICIPATE OVER THE NEXT YEAR OR TWO, I WILL TAKE A REALLY HARD LOOK AT WHAT THOSE LOOK LIKE. IT ME INCLUDE SOME NOT FUN CONVERSATION WITH THOSE CITIES, BUT I THINK IT IS AT A POINT WHERE THEY ARE GOING AND OFTEN SEEING THE SAME TYPE OF THINGS WE ARE. THEY ASSUME THOSE ROLES AND THEY NEED TO COME BACK TO THE TABLE AND WE NEED TO RENEGOTIATE THOSE

CONTRACTS . >> I KNOW I DID SPEAK WITH MY -- AT A BUDGET MEETING .

POSITIONS. THEY ARE IN EARLY DISCUSSIONS RIGHT NOW.

OBVIOUSLY, I AM TRYING TO WORK OUT WHAT THAT PERCENT ALLOCATION WOULD LOOK LIKE.

ALSO, I WANTED TO MENTION WITH THE SROS. WE DO RECONFIGURE THE CONTRACTS AT 50% FUNDING RIGHT NOW. WE NEED TO GET THEM IN LINE WITH THE STRUCTURE. THE FIVE SROS ARE INCLUDED IN THE BUDGET. THIS IS A REQUEST FROM -- WE DID MEET WITH THEM A COUPLE MONTHS AGO. --, COMMISSIONER SMITH, JORDAN, MYSELF, AND THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE. THE COST IS JUST UNDER A HALF MILLION DOLLARS FOR THIS , FOR THE FIVE POSITIONS FOR THE BASE SALARY. BUT THE UP FRONT COST IS SEVERAL HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS AS WELL. THAT IS INCLUDED IN THIS BUDGET. ALL OF THE ONE-TIME EQUIPMENT WILL BE -- ALL OF THOSE THINGS THAT COME ALONG WITH ADDING THE NEW OFFICERS.

>> OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. PLEASE OPEN I 7.

BEGIN WITH -- >> I HOPE THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS ARE -- 21. I WAS LOOKING AT THE QUOTE. ON THE BACK OF THIS ONE, IT WAS DATED JUNE 26, 2024.

THEY DO HAVE -- IT IS NOT SIGNED ON. 30 DAYS. CANNOT ACCEPT THE LANGUAGE FOR THAT IS ON THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE. IN ADDITION, LOOKING AT THE APPLICATION ON THE BOTTOM OF THREE SAYS NO ELECTRICAL OF ANY KIND. BUT ON THE SCOPE OF WORK, TALKS ABOUT THE POWER AND STATE LINES FROM THE CURB. AND NUMBER FIVE, THE POWER KNOW THE ASSIGNMENT A COUNTY BOARD DOES HAVE RIGHT A BIT OF UNDERSTANDING WITH THE COUNTY. I'M WONDERING WHY THE MARKUP OF 25% AND THE MARKUP OF 15% IS SO HIGH. THESE ARE SOME QUESTIONS. IF SOMEBODY COULD RESPOND TO THAT?

THANK YOU, JUDGE. >> YEAH.

>> STEPHANIE HUNT, PURCHASING AGENT. THE MECHANICAL CONTRACTOR SOMETHING WE FIRMLY PROCURED. THE MARKUP ON THE PARTS , THE LABOR RIGHT , THAT IS ALL SOMETHING THAT WAS IN THE CONTRACT WE EXECUTED WITH THEM. THIS WAS IN LINE WITH THE

[01:50:01]

CONTRACT THAT WE HAVE. >> OKAY. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER AGENDA ITEMS? OKAY. YOU ALSO SIGNED UP FOR 22. IF YOU COULD

PLEASE BECOME THAT ONE? >> @ -- 22 IS GOING TO BE THE RADAR. I REPEATEDLY HEAR AND READ ABOUT THE SHORTAGE OF OFFICERS WITHIN THAT ADMINISTRATION.

MY EXPERIENCE IS -- I HAD RADAR FOR 10 YEARS. AND SOME OF THE STUFF ON HERE, THE CURRENT RADAR IS NO LONGER OPERABLE.

THE SOFTWARE IS OBSOLETE. IT REQUIRES REPLACEMENT.

I AM JUST WONDERING WHY NOW? THAT IS SOMETHING THAT HAS COME UP.

IN ADDITION, IF YOU LOOK AT THE RADAR QUOTE TO BACKUP , THEY HAVE A QUANTITY AND THE PRICE. TRANSPARENCY IS ONE OF THE THINGS I HEAR A LOT ABOUT IN GOVERNMENT AGENTS THESE. TO PUT ZEROS ON PRICE, THAT IS NOT ANY TYPE OF TRANSPARENCY.

AGAIN, I AM JUST WONDERING WHY ALL OF THIS IS BEING DONE IN A MANNER THAT CITIZENS REALLY CANNOT GO AND CONFIRM. I KNOW NOT ALL CITIZENS HAVE THE TYPE OF BACKGROUND I HAVE. I TAKE A LOT OF PRIDE AND WORKED REAL HARD TO HAVE PRODUCTIVE APPROACHES WHEN I COME UP HERE.

HAVE ALL ZEROS WHEN YOU ARE UP HERE WITH THESE. SOME OF THESE.

I KNOW FOR CALIBRATION PURPOSES AND ALL OF THAT STUFF.

>> TO GO FROM ZERO TO $29,040 , AND FOR THIS COURT TO JUST TO ASK A QUESTION AND SOMEONE RESPONSE BECAUSE , AND THIS MOTION APPROVAL. THAT IS ON HERE AND THAT IS WHY THIS COUNTY IS IN SUCH DEBT. THERE NEEDS TO BE A BETTER APPROACH TO ADDRESSING THESE ISSUES BECAUSE THEY DO MAKE SENSE ON THIS SIDE OF THE ISLAND. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU. >> STEPHANIE HUNT, PURCHASING AGENT. ON THE QUOTE ITSELF IF YOU LOOK AT THE TOP OF THE QUOTE, IT HAS THE ITEM NUMBER FOR THE RADAR.

NUMBER ONE. ITEM NUMBER 12. >> THE TEXAS WATER DEVELOPMENT BOARD, IF YOU LOOK, THAT CONTRACT, I WANT TO REITERATE THAT THAT IS NOT A CHANGE IN THE CONTRACT. THAT IS A CHAIN SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE OF SOME OF THE DATA WE ARE STILL MISSING ON THE CREEK WATERSHED PROJECT. THAT IS TO BE PROVIDED BY THE

PARTNERS IN THE CITY OF AUSTIN. >> ONCE WE GET THAT, WE WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE CONTRACT BUT IT IS IMPORTANT TO US. THE ONE OTHER ITEM I WANTED TO MENTION WAS ONE THAT OUR BOARD HAS DONE AND COMMISSIONER INGALSBE HAS IT ON THE AGENDA TODAY FOR THAT IS TO SEND IT TO THE UNITED WAY CONTRACT UNDER ARPA. THIS CHANGES BEING MADE AT THE REQUEST BECAUSE THEY SHIFTED THE FOCUS OF THAT PROGRAM. AND SO I SINCERELY APPRECIATE THEM COMING TO US AND LETTING US KNOW WHAT THEIR REAL NEEDS ARE.

IT ENDS UP HELPING THE BOTTOM LINE IN THE BUDGET. TO REITERATE THERE IS A COMMITMENT WE HAVE MADE AND WE'RE HONORING THAT . WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THEM IN

THE FUTURE. >>
