Under county judge consider approved resolution in order to withdraw the Montgomery County Bar Association of Participation and the Management of the Montgomery County Law Library is established through the Texas Local Government Code Section 3-3.024. What impact does that have on operation as a long-labor? This is really a request of the Bar Association. What is the number one facility here? What the facility wants to do is to create a new boarded, kind of a board of directors to issue with report two, of course, as well as the court. Instead of the bar association per se that has been kind of a loosely held board for this library for the last hundred years or whatever. This is something that the bar of association is in favor of? Yes. I move. Second. All the papers to the out. Sheriff. Morning, good morning. Mr. Morning. Oh, 10 a.m. Estitute considering the further following transfers the budget is salary and associated longevity is certification in our other associated pay with the following position changed This transfer does not increase the approved salary structure.

All the favor say aye. Thank you. You share. Mr. Attorney. I thought it could be graduation. Thank you, Vickery. Thank you, Judge. You are escaped by, I think by was it nine votes? It was a... Luckily I have a lot of family in the game. On both sides of the county. Judge, we've requested a position for a public integrity prosecutor as the court has come to know in the public as well. The public integrity division investigates and prosecutes, public officials, elected officials, city and county employees, police officers, teachers, and other public servants for office is committed during the course of their employment. These investigations are complex, highly confidential, require careful examination. Consequently, these investigations are extremely time consuming and resource and comboring. For example, just since January of 2010, we've had over 150 cases within the Public Integrity Division, 35% of those cases led to criminal prosecutions, convictions, and resignations. But the other part is good law enforcement is supposed to be not just a sword but it's supposed to be a shield and one thing I think that the court and other people within this community have failed to recognize is that good government is the job of the district attorney's office and of the sheriff's department and all of law enforcement. And part of good government is is that things get investigated and they get put to bed and that nothing gets swept underneath the carpet. Sixty-five percent of public officials that have been investigated or sixty-five percent of those cases have been cleared of alleged criminal conduct. And I think that's just as important to the community to know that there is a watchguard out there looking at this conduct and making sure that everything is done by the book. The offenses have included assault, abusive office, official oppression, sexual offenses, theft and fraud, perjury, and proper relationships with students, election violations, and tampering charges. The positions that have been impacted have included may mayor, city council members, department heads and managers, county employees, city employees, police and police chiefs, firemen and fire chiefs, attorneys, school superintendents and teachers, and also federal agents. In that same pretty time, we've investigated over 30 officer involved shootings and in custody death investigations. When we do that from the scene to the grand jury, these are all extensively reviewed and those have been no bill by grand jury. The other thing is in regards to good law enforcement. There was a line that was taken out of counter-OPD's letter to the courier and it talked about the badge being brighter. And I know my reputation as community is being an advocate for law enforcement. And I am. And I will continue to be an advocate for good law enforcement. And any time you see a bad police officer, it tarnishes the badge of every good officer that's here in this court. And to that end, I think that the public needs to know that over 70 police officers have been investigated for alleged criminal conduct. 40% of those have led to criminal prosecutions, convictions and T-close surrenders. I hope this finally puts to bed the allegation that I look the other way when it comes to misconduct for police officers. 40% 60% of those officers were cleared of criminal conduct. As an unintended consequence of my campaign, it was centered on the strong reputation and accomplishments of the public integrity division. The public now realize the type of cases that division handles. In the last three months, the division has been inundated with numerous complaints against various municipalities, county employees, and others. And statistically, you'll see that allow those investigations that the person will be accrued of any misconduct. However, there will be some that will lead to criminal consequences. So I'm asking that the court recognize the same thing that the public has recognized that good government is the business of everybody in government. And we do need the personnel. We have been tasked with several investigations recently. The court recognized the need and this community to continue with its commitment to the county through law enforcement and we're requesting the public integrity or the public integrity prosecutor's position. These issues always been dealt with by the DA without a public committee. Without a public integrity group or a lawyer, haven't they always been dealt with by the DA? I think the manner that they had been dealt with by prior administrations was a manner in which it was deemed to be unsatisfactory by the people. In the sense that if they were handled, they were handled in a way that did not seem to be a transparent and did not seem to have consequences. I assume from the heading that you're funding it, not your existing funds, not a request for funding. No, sorry. It is a request for funding You know if we do this and bread and I had a conversation this morning The only commitment I want from from you is that If you see that this If you see that this There'll be no problem It goes down to where the the case load is minimal Absolutely where you get all the bad apples out that This person will be the let go or reassign absolute judge. There will there will be no thumb twiddling And it's something we can continue to brief There will be no thumb to it, and it's something we can continue to brief in regards to the numbers, the sheer volume, of course the complexity of cases. You're talking some cases may take over a year to resolve, and the court also needs to know that public integrity division is not proactive in the sense that when we receive an anonymous complaint, if there's not reasonable suspicion, which is a legal standard, we can't even issue grand jury subpoenas. So say, for example, somebody says something derogatory about the sheriff. I can't on my own deletion, I'm sad to subpoena the sheriff's bank records or anything else. The investigations that we deal with have always come from complaints that have been generated by citizens. And oftentimes those complaints have been accompanied with literally boxes of information. So it is not a proactive division, it is a reactive division that deals with complaints of a nature. For example, if you even receive an anonymous complaint, what we'll do is look at the public records that are available to see if there's something there that we could even take a look at. But in discussions that you and I've had in terms past about what is the legal standard, what kicks it off, an anonymous complaint just doesn't get you there because it doesn't rise to the level of reasonable suspicion oftentimes. Right. There are only a few months from budget. I mean, are you looking at some big influx of public integrity prosecuting in the next two or three months? Well, I don't want to use the term, because we're real close to budget timing. Normally, we don't add personnel of this sort, this close to budget, we wait a budget timing. Yeah, I don't want to use the term prosecution. What I want to use the term is the investigation and the handling of those cases. And so the cases that are being referred to us are of such a thick and complex nature that we're, you know, a year behind already. And so when we're talking about adding to a budget, a budget that would take place in the fiscal cycle on October, this is just now early June. So, you know, oftentimes months of a delay like any of the crime scene you can't recreate it and so you try to get on top of it as quickly as you can. We've always been literally a bad and personal in the middle of the year. If you've also come to us in the past but your money where you're mouth is when you had projects and said you need something is something whether you call it a public integrity prosecutor or whatever? Is this somebody you actually need desperately? Yes, it is. In one of the things we've talked about, the ability to self-fund the issues, when we had a first approach to commissioners court, about the funds and the fees, and how we would just increase them by $100 a piece, our initial revenue estimates turned out to be de-floorably wrong and I apologize. We doubled the amount of money that we said that we would take in. So I was off by either half or 100%. I'm from A&M, maybe James can help me out, but we thought we'd bring in $1.4 million of new revenue and we've brought in 3.2. Our collections are averaging a little bit more than $300,000 a month now versus when we came in with the same numbers to the court. It was less than $100,000. So, the essence what you're saying is you've already collected enough money to fund this position for years just within the last two years. Absolutely. Would you back that up, Philis? I could look into that, Brett, and I haven't discussed this, and so I haven't researched this at all, but I could look into that. Although I don't believe what Brett's saying is in the past, he has brought money where there was money. I don't believe that he's claiming that this particular position would bring additional $5.00 to fee. No, no, no. He's saying in the past that has occurred. Well, what he's saying, he's brought in excess revenue that would find this position. Correct. From other activities, yes, sir. I believe that's what he's saying. And no, sir, we haven't looked into that. Well, I don't know. I'm a position. I move. I move. We have funded the position. I think. all of every see all right. Oh, it's the fastest. I appreciate it. Thank you. And your funding source for that, Mr. Commissioner? To Mr. Titicis. Constable, precinct five. Judge, commissioners, the council would be here, but he's on his way to Alaska. On the cruisers, after one election, he took off. What was the number of the final numbers? 63% for the conspore. 23% for the runner up and 12% for the judgement in third place. We got 4,400 to 400 votes. Closer to Jim was a little over 1,500 votes. Wow. Great. Great. Great. Great. Commissioner and Judge, the item 12A is comp time that's on the books for our livestock and one deputy that transferred over to us from precinct to. We currently have two open spots that we have not filled. We like to take the money out of those two open spots and wipe out this comp and it will make no budget change whatsoever when I'll use any other money. We'll be filling those spots very shortly. Move. All fair with C.I. 12B. I was before y'all in February for this. I'm coming back again. I've got quite a few animals or livestock that are getting loose in the area and judged to bring up the data over 20 more donkeys. And we've got 10 horses right now in our pin one cab. And I don't know what the extent to have other than a full pin in precinct four. But we handle all the astray through our budget. So we're down to, we got to build the other day for feed and other issues that we deal with on livestock and we got $400 and we got a $1400 bill. We're trying to stretch this to the end of this budget. My boys want some donkeys and you got them. I need to contact Deputy Welch. I'm buying one for $5,000 according to this. Make it several. We hope to address this later, maybe split this with the pre-sync forward at some point, but we got to look into a little further and bring it before the court. I move. Second. All in favor, see you. Thanks, sir. And that would come from contingency. And contingency. Just to be clerk. Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Good morning. Good morning. and that would come from contingent. Just to be clear. Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Good morning. Here to our District Court Technology Fund that in June, I believe 2009 legislature gave us $5 per court case on civil and family cases to collect for archive purposes. And I think the first year we were going to collect in 2010, October 2010, $5 per case. And we, I believe it was in 2012 last year, we were granted, we had collected like 43,000. By the time we came to court projected and we asked for 40,000 and we have been, we have hired co-file who is a preservation specialist. I believe I brought the books to you that they preserved and showed them to you and they're preserving a lot of old documents from the 1800s that we don't know anything about but they're 1800s and they're doing a wonderful job. They're standing, preserving, and digital formats. So we can put them on the internet, and we get that available. This year we are asking for 40,000. We have already used up almost. Actually, we have gone over it, and they just continue processing and scanning and putting them in format. So, and they're willing to certainly, wait every year till we get the money. So we're asking for 40 and we have collected this year already, I believe we've collected like 43,000, 43157. So, Barbara, what is this specific request in this case here? What do you have for it? We have to have it approved. We have to come and have every year. We have to have the plan approved. So this is to continue scanning. We're scanning our plan depicted from 1800 to 1999 records, old records. Just a plan approval period. It is. It is, Judge. I move. Thank you. Old Ferrisso. Thank you. Thank you. How is your imaging coming? Wonderful. Good. The imaging is. We don Okay. Okay. How's that work? It's getting close. Mark. Oh, and Judge, commissioners. All right. So, this is Cass. If appropriate, take action. Instructing a storage facility for the Sheriff's Department. I'd like to build appropriate, a six-row,and-square-foot facility to store Sheriff's Department files over there at the forensic facility, build it out there. It'll open up space elsewhere. This is for basically what you need to be in the files every day. And we still have the off-site storage place out in the library out in precinct one. And that's being used by the library and I was talking to County clerk the other day and Mark and he may be using it for files He doesn't need to be in every day. So this here would be a not to exceed 130,000 dollars if you all approve that their money and CEO's somewhere to do that We can look for it certainly We have a lot of counts out there. We have a lot of projects that we have in starting. We have a lot of money that may overflow. So I'm going to get with the other and look at that. We've looked at them before. And most of the money is accounted for in projects. I would agree that most of it is. We haven't looked at this one specifically. But we haven't looked at those together before. One thing that would be helpful for the court to know the, like from Brett, the overcollections or the undercollections in various departments. Where are we on contingency for the year? Would help us make these type decisions. Okay. And Judge, basically, you have the sheriff's department traveling all different places to get to the files. And the one stop shop would be just a short. Are you asking for funding here or not? Yes, I am, sir. Is there enough funding in contingency to cover that? At this exact moment, no, sir, but that doesn't mean that there wouldn't be by the end of the year. We haven't, with this month is the month that we normally do our salary suite, which does provide the bulk of your funding for contingency. So at this exact moment, I don't have a figure on that. The design and preparation time when you think you'd undergo construction. It'll be done with County personnel. So it's whenever you, we'll, we wouldn't stop probably for about a month. so and I've looked at maintenance schedule, but it'll take us a while to do it Sure and visit Sherr's for our before-and-ear facility. It's much needy facility I would agree with make motion to move forward with I'll help on what some do. I think I've got some money left out of my Right go there 19,000 maybe All right, go there. I'm 19,000 maybe. Yeah. I'll give that up. Okay, there's a motion and a second. All the papers here. I'll put some passes. Thank you. For the balance of the defense and contingency. Commissioner Reinhardt and contingency. But if you would, let us know what that is after the sweep. Next court, fell us. Animal controls. Just a permission. We want to be placed on the agenda and item to consider and discuss the pros and cons of licensing of animals in Montgomery County for similar regulations and other Texas counties and for discussion purposes only I think when you and I spoke or Sylvan I spoke Miss McConnell was supposed to be here to address that I don't see her here today but I'll be happy to provide you some information for consideration if you like or I can answer questions about what other counties are doing when it comes to animal licensing and regulations, I know over the years we visited this topic more than once at various meetings with each individual commissioner. So I'm certainly open to answering questions. Well, to give the court a little background. Laura McConnell, I saw her at a function and she asked me specifically to put this on the agenda so she can discuss it today It's your pleasure commissioners whether you want to go ahead and discuss this or or not in her absence What's the advantage to it other than obviously collecting? I think a couple of counties have looked at it in twofoldfold. One is the advantage of offsetting the cost of operating a shelter. As you know, it's a money pit. You continue to put money in it in personnel and building more facilities, expanding facilities. And a lot of that is due to the overpopulation of animals throughout the county. In licensing, what it does is puts a financial incentive on people to have their animal sterilized. Many counties play no for example if you pay a $60 per year fee to register an unaltured animal versus $10 fee for an altered animal. Banderra County probably has the most inclusive ordinance and it's considerably less. It's $25 a year and it has provisions on there for senior citizens or low income families where it brings it down to five. The focus is to reduce the pet population and the documents provided to you today shows that last month the shelter took in 2,500 animals. A year ago it was 2,100. 2010 it was 1900 so you can see the number of animals coming into the shelter of continuing to increase. Part of that has to do with the law that was passed in 2007 that outlawed the roadside sale of animals in Harris County. What that did is it moved them down to Montgomery County, Fort Bend County, Galveston County. So if you drive down 2978 on the weekend, you see Puppy Road. Representative Heissler took legislation to the legislature in 2009-2011 on our behalf. 2011 it was passed by the legislature. It got to the governor's desk and he vetoed it, citing that his position was that that law was a little too broad and it could impact a peach farmer bringing peaches from the orchard to the south of the road to sailor. Or Girl Scouts, sailing cookies for a worthwhile project. So while it may have been broad and its approach, it didn't limit your ability to restrict that. And that's part of the problem, because people will go buy, make an impulse buy of a cute little puppy or a small kitten, and before long it pees on the carpet or it tears up their clothes and ends up at the shelter or worse, it gets turned loose and it's reproductive age is sufficient that it's reproducing and now you have numbers of animals coming in. You know one thing, if you start putting a per year fee on an animal you're gonna have more animals on the road. In my opinion. I don't disagree Joe. I'm just bringing you both sides of the coin and I'll certainly yield to this court's discretion. So you're talking anybody that's got an animal has to license that animal it could cost up to $60. It's up to the court to set the rate if you even choose to do licensing. There's two provisions to statute that fund it or that authorize it rather. One is for animals that attack that's been found in 822 of the health and safety code. The other one is the same authority that you get in 826 to pass an ordinance. 826-031 gives you the authority to require registration. The belief behind it is you can continue to charge tax dollars for the rank and file citizen out here who may or may not have pets and take those tax dollars and use that to fund that shelter and the shelter's operation. Or you can make it a user incentive where those people who have pets who may be utilizing that shelter and its services are using it, just like people who have cars paid for registration fees on their cars. I would you even enforce that? Well, Ms. Philson, I had that conversation. How do we enforce it? I think you enforce it the same way you do. The drivers allow us to requirement or the insurance requirements on motor vehicles. As the animal control officers come in contact or law enforcement may come in contact with someone, if the animal's not registered, then they would be issued a citation per an ordinance. The citation would require them to go to a justice court and they would be fine for not having a registered animal. Perhaps maybe the ordinance could be structured in such a way like with your registration that if you receive a citation and you get your registration renewed within 10 days, the court could dismiss it without finer penalty. Commissioners, I'm not for against it. I see the pros and cons. I can tell you that the cost of operations to that shelter have continued to rise. You've continued to pump millions of dollars into that shelter and infrastructure and building it to put in a generator to supply it in the vent of an inclement weather or hurricane comes in. It's going to continue to need to be increased. The shelter facility today has over 670 animals in it. You had to pay for somebody to care for them, you had to pay for feed for them, you had to pay for the utilities to keep it climate controlled. That money is coming from somewhere. The reality most of folks who would risk their dog and pay that restoration fee are taking care of their animals. They are not utilizing it. Your shift in that burden from people that are no financial animals to those that that own. I got a dog. I think five kids and five dogs or tags just on the kids that own for the expensive little own dogs. I think they're strictly for a fun raising, I mean to me that's what it sound like it is. Yeah, the fun to me it's invasive. I think to the owners of pets. I don't think I would support that personally. Yes, sir. The only other thing that I can share with you is that it may help in reducing the number of animals that are left at the shelter. If an animal is registered and registered with a microchip, which is an embedded microchip, when that animal comes into the shelter, you would be able to know who the owner is. Better yet, in the field, the animal control officers have the same scanners. They could identify who the owner is, and they could return that animal to its rightful owner rather than ever bringing it to the shelter. All of our animals are microchipped. I think that's an important thing to do, but whether or not this court takes on the responsibility of passing that burden on to animal owners, I think Commissioner Chance is very valid at that point, it's difficult. But the needs are there, the numbers are there showing the increased numbers of animals and although there was legislation that didn't make it to the governor's desk perhaps this next year it will be a little more restrictive and focus on animals to move them either back to Harris County or move them to the next outline county. But we do have a problem with the roadside cell of animals. We do see an increase in the number of animals brought into your shelter and so it is a difficult prospect. Do you think, I think, I wish I wouldn't be there next time. We need to have somebody, I think we write that bill. It's more specific to just animals. But that is a huge problem up here. It's not just 2978, it's 105. It's everywhere. Right. Now they did, the governor did sign a law dealing with puppy meals. These are breeders, but in order to be required to be licensed through the state, you have to have 20 breeding females. Well, most of the backyard breeders that are on the side of the road, they don't have 20. So they are not licensed or regulated by anyone. And that's, that's a problem. So I brought it and presented it. I've given this court both sides of the court and I'll yield to your decision on it and I'll help you any way I can. Thank you. Thank you, Tim. Thank you. Treasure. I'm excused. My boy. It's hurting. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. the committee and that committee consists of the county judge, a citizen and finance, which is Don, he's caught the assistant investment officer Jan Avery in my office and myself as an investment officer. The other, that's one change in this investment policy. The other change is that we had a meeting of that committee and decided that we needed to make more interest in trying to do that. We would like to have approved as item number 10 on page 11 commercial paper as defined in Texas government code section 2256.013. Our Public Fund's Investment Act allows us to invest in commercial paper. And that is the only change that we have in this investment policy. And I would like to have it approved today, please. Move.

This is Jackie Costum. Approximately $32,840. Martin, did you hear that funding identified? I think we're getting forward from which we use the funds of the Yale construction we're doing, obviously, those funds in there. This is probably good. Marcus, that's Yale Construction from the New Certificates that we're doing model is up on the Market that to all construction from the new certificates that were issued this year Those are much more restrictive commissioners than certificates that have been issued in past years I don't believe this project was named and it's likely that it wouldn't be approved by the attorney general's office It's the same jail Yes, the same deal but the project that was named wasn't for the project was for a kitchen correct? Well, the kitchen in there, if you had some bed space, you also have office space, but you know what to do with board and stuff that works by hand. And we may have to move the gas mine, electric mine, stuff specific to that, but we have to move the gas line and the electric one. I'm specific to that. I'll be happy to do that. No research. If this has got to be done, this is due to that void underneath this section of that building. It needs to be repaired. In fact, I move on this motion. If there's a problem, fill us. Get back with us, but I move. Second. All in favor, see how? All right. Thank you Thank you County attorney In 20 a we have an interlocal agreement with the San Jacinna River Authority To allow the authority to construct and install a 60 inch water line and related surface facilities Generally following the western corridor of the county rights of Wade along the Taylor Brode, Fish Creek Thorefar, Sanderra Ranch Drive, Honey Egypt Road, and FM 2978 between State Highway 105 and Research Forest Drive. Under this agreement, the county would convey to the San Jacina River Authority an undivided one-half interest in that portion of the county right of Wade where the surface facility would be placed. So that would not exceed and undivided one half interest in that portion of the county right of way where the surface facility would be placed. So that would not exceed 20 feet total for this undivided interest. Their interest would be superior in the sense that the county would have to cooperate with them to do any work in the area that could disturb the surface water facilities and the authority would not be required to move the line in the future. In return, the authority would pay the county $2 million and they would agree to cooperate toward allowing the county to use its communication facilities, bibrative cagles that would be installed with the surface water facilities. The parties would cooperate toward the design to make sure that nothing is done here that would interfere with any expansion plans that the county would have on these roads in the future. I think this is agreement that's mutually beneficial to both SJRA and the county. Another of some details, Phil, is that you get all that worked out? All the minor details in the concern? I believe we did, yes sir. And we have representatives here from STA already, Judge. If there's anything you guys would like to add or say, would you address the superior part of the agreement? The agreement says that it is superior in the sense that we could not do any subsurface digging or any work out there that would disturb that line without talking to them first. And, and surely, no matter what we do, we would have to get with them before we did anything in the water out there. Well, that's the next time. And the main purpose for that is to ensure that that large, very large water line never has to be moved. Right, right. I just take two you to F2A for you to join in 78. Yes, sir. It's your motion. Move. Second. All the papers, yeah. Excuse me. In the motion we need to determine what to do with the $2 million. Three, three. No, no, no. Motion denied. Content is the same way. Part of it needs to go to contingency. Contentency. All right, are we right out? We mind donkeys with that. The thought of that would be to purchase right away for the expansion of the Caleb Road. Because that's where that funding is being spent. So we need to restrict it for the purchase of the right way that's needed. Well, that's your opinion. That would be my opinion. How about you need the mace? Well, probably twice that. Oh, that's different. For right now, let's just say contingency. And we could always address the use of the funds when we had more time to talk about that. I got a feeling that's not going to work out real well for me. I don't think I'm going to get three votes to do anything different. I would make a motion that we accept the agreement and place the funding in contingency for the time being. All the papers here. Second. All in favor, see ya. In 21A, we have an agreement with I-PLAL for collection software. Back in May the 7th, the court approved funding for this agreement as requested by the county clerk. This entity would provide collection software and services to assist the county clerk. At this entity would provide collection software and services to assist the county clerk with this collection effort. It would also include training for county clerk staff and technical support. The cost is an annual fee of $9,800. It would commence on July 1, and would renew annually thereafter. We would be allowed to terminate anytime with 90 days notice. It would commence on July 1 and would renew annually thereafter. We would be allowed to terminate anytime with 90 days notice whether with or without pause or whether we have non-approvisionation of money. So we think that the software will be compatible with whatever integrated justice system of software, hardware is obtained, but if there is an necessity to change, once this system comes in, we could always terminate this in the future. If there's something better, can you see the 30 day kickout clause? 90 day kickout clause. 90. Now move. Second. All the purposes. Okay, under commissioners, precinct three three consider and approve in a local agreement between the government County Texas and Westwood Magnolia parkway improvement district for street related facility construction repair maintenance It has to do with the fiber optic to there won't include there to we're building it for them. I move that come second all They're ever see Consider and approve consenting in related facility construction repair leave that's a duplication there number three Robert number three is considered except a twenty twelve Texas Parks and Wildlife Grant Department of Recreation of Trail Funds in a amount of a hundred,000 that Robert Collins explained this is a grant that he secured through. Yes sir. Yes sir. Judge commissioners, today actually we're going to modify the request to actually just as a simple notification does not require a vote. There's some additional paperwork that we need to receive from Texas Parks and Wildlife that has not arrived. We'll send that through with the additional forms hopefully in two weeks if not the following court date. But basically this is a grant sponsored by Gorba, the Greater Eastern Off-Road Biking Association, for the benefit of Montgomery County to improve and expand the trails at the Flint Ridge Drive Trailhead of the Georgia Mitchell Reserve on the Sprinkler Greenway. The plan is to add approximately five to six miles of new that were existing trails that are not necessarily sustainable and also will provide for additional signage and bridges or you know foot bridges and small crossings across ravines. And we will bring back the specifics for you to approve and accept at another court date. One clarification on the previous 22a1 and a2, really both of those can be taken together in one motion. The first one is just the interlocal and the second. The second. The mass 25% mass comes from Gorba. That comes mainly from volunteers. Volunteer efforts. Good job. Thank you. I'll move. Second. Sir. All the favor. Yes. The mission is to accept a grant. He's going to bring that back to you later. Got to understand that. Right. Thank you understand that correct about the right? Thank you. No action there sir. Okay. Precinct four. You're late. I think there's a misunderstanding on this last week. Last court date. Who was going to build a warehouse? And the people they were talking about, what are the people that's building the warehouse? Right? Yes, Commissioner. The individuals who came to address the court during the last public hearing were actually talking about a facility off of Excon Road. And environmental health has been working with them to address the complaints they have, a consultant that's going to work with the other business, that wanted to repot Conlon, there are no complaints about that business. And they were requesting this repot to be approved by the court. I move second. All in favor, C.I. Okay, an article 551.071 of the government code. Let's recess this court for executive session. And go to citizens. Do we have any citizens who would like to address commissioners court today? Any citizens who would like to address the court? Okay. Even resources. Good morning. Please consider and approve the payroll change request forms. Move. Sorry. Well, papers here. Thank you. I know we're doing good. Okay. I'm not familiar with this. The, the, providing medical services at the jail is being accommodated. We have for you today a new contract with Dr. Christopher Robertson who will be taking on medical services at the jail and it is virtually the same as what we had approved previously for Dr. Davis. He would be required to work at the jail at least 90 minutes per day for a minimum of five days a week and then have additional contact with them as necessary. The pay is $6,572 for each month in which he performed services. And if he can't come someday, then he has to get a doctor to substitute for him that has the same medical malpractice liability insurance or the same type of insurance that he's at. Did you say 90 minutes a day? 90 minutes, yes sir, a day for a minimum of five days a week. That he has to be at the jail, but he can communicate with them by telephone the rest of the time. Did Dr. Davis not want to do it anymore or what happened? He doesn't want to do it anymore, and the sheriff's decided that it would be appropriate to seek additional medical care. He really didn't have time to be there. So you status five sheriff? This, this same, same free structure of the other doctor had, same contract, right? Same contract. I'll move. All papers here? Yes. Post-impasses. To add one more. There will be a little overlap in funding and I'm told that the sheriff has some excess salary money that he will be able to use to pay this new doctor the current man and pay doctor David as he is leading because we're giving him 30 days. All right, great. Okay. Do we need a motion on that? No. Okay. Okay, Commissioner, is anything else before we adjourn? Move with adjourned. All the favourites, yeah? Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.
