The first item on the agenda. And Cheryl, I don't have anybody. Anyone for invocation or pledges. At this time, the invocation is going to be given by economic director, Laurie, Biglin. And the pledges is going to be given by Cheryl and everybody is staying as you are already doing. We thank you so much for this day and for all the blessings you have given us.

Help us to just let your light shine through as we go throughout our day. In Jesus' name, amen. Amen. Thank you, Lord. How are you feeling this morning. I pledge allegiance to thee that this one state under God, one in indivisible. The next item on the agenda is item one. Public input for items not listed on the agenda and I have three public input forms. The first one is Drew Murray. Michele, would you please come to the podium, state your name and address for the record, and you have three minutes to please, ma'am. County commissioners, audience. I among other Denton County residents are here to ask you to remove the statue of the Confederate soldier from the courthouse lawn. That statue is a daily reminder that men and a traitorous government that practiced and fought to preserve the abominable institution of slavery. The statue represents black codes and Jim Crow, other abominations that sought to deny Americans are in alienable rights. That statue is a reminder of the shameful forced eviction of Americans from Quaker Town in 1920. The fact that Nazis, widespread supremacists, and other hate groups are fighting the removal of similar statues proves that that statue needs to go. Many claim it represents our heritage, but that heritage of slavery is gone. It was defeated in 1865, after the deaths of around 864,000 Americans and much destruction. That statue should not be allowed on any public grounds of any kind ever again. Please remove it as soon as possible. Thank you. Thank you, Ms. Murray. My next person is Willie Husby. Ms. Husby, please come up. I'm Willie Husby with I live at 623 Newton. I was informed by one of my supporters that the comments of the judge made right after I spoke last Tuesday. I planned to play that so that you can see it and then see the look on her face after she said it. But evidently that's too bad, that's negative, because the staff couldn't get it done. But I would have loved to have seen that, I'll show you what I see. But it's the thing that I'm having to fight inside me is hatred, to hate. It's coming back again, to really be angry at what happened to me way long ago and what's happening now. And I just see that as I looked at this picture of this guy before he, before he did what he did and hurting those people, God showed me myself. He said, that's you. God showed me myself. He said, that's you. If you let hatred take over you and what you're doing, you become that way too. How in the world could you run over 19 plus people? Just run them over. I really get that. I understand what hatred does. It gets you to that point where you can't see, you can't reason and you do things that you shouldn't do. The guys, a young lady lost her life and she was just standing in the street. And the people in the helicopter died. And I don't know why that happened. But it just said to me, hey, we have got to stop that. That's why I'm wearing my shirt. Racism, you're dead and gone and you should never come back again. Well, it starts with each one of us. I have to not let that happen. I've decided that I'm going to run for our office and this court, for this court, for the judge as an independent. Because I want to get the message out, I don't care if I win, I don't care. I just want to talk about we all need to come together. And if I get the 1,800 signatures, I'll be on that ballot as an independent. And I'll be talking about why don't we get together. This court is an example of what I see as part of the concern. You don't work together. You work at individual precincts see as part of the concern. It all worked together. You work at individual precincts, seems like most of the time. And you're not transparent. You won't let people see what you're doing. When I mention salaries, you go into this whatever, this other thing that you go into. When I mention that statue out there and the compromise that God has helped me to come up with, put some other history on the square if it's a historical site, but you're not listening to that either. So I'm saying to you, if we don't start getting together, if we don't come together, we're going to have more people lose their lives senselessly. I don't plan to be part of that. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Smith. Our next speaker is Alfredo Sanchez. Mr. Sanchez. Because my name is Alfred Sanchez. I live in Denton, 711 Jackson Street. We all know why the Civil War was fought, and it was not fought for states' rights. It was to preserve slavery. Many people in the South fought against slavery, so the idea that the Confederate flag, or giving honor to Confederate soldiers is our heritage, is hogwash. It is not the soldier's heritage. It is not the South's heritage, whatever that means. If we are truly concerned about bringing our people together, we need to face a fact that the South was treasonous when they decided to secede from the United States. I am a veteran and I serve to preserve American freedom, not to deny freedom. True American soldiers have always fought to preserve freedom, not to deny freedom to anyone. Thank you. Thank you, sir. The next item on the agenda is the consent agenda. Any court member can remove any item from this agenda to be considered separately. Members, are there any item you wish to remove?

Next item on the agenda is the resolutions and we have one resolution item 3a and we're asking commission to eat to read that for us. The employee is not going to be here but we still want to reach this resolution. Thank you. This is a resolution on our annual timbers for 13 years of service to Ditton County. The Ditton County Commissioner's Court did in County Texas during a regular session on the 15th day of August 2017, considering the following resolution. Whereas Daniel Timmans began his career at Ditton County Road and Bridge, West on October 2003 and retired on July 31st, 2017 after 13 years of loyal service. Whereas Daniel started Ditton County as an driver equipment operator and was later promoted to driver equipment operator three. Whereas Daniel was a dedicated Ditton County employee where he provided a high level of quality and valuable service to Rodenbridge West. And whereas Rodenbridge West would like to wish Daniel well in his retirement. Now therefore, be it resolved that Ditton County Commissioner's Court, Ditton County, Texas does hear by extend to Daniel Timins, our sincere and grateful appreciation for his dedicated service to Ditton County. We congratulate Daniel on his well and retirement and extend our best wishes to him for continued success, happiness and good health in years to come. Done an open court this 15th day of August 2017 upon a motion by myself. Chair will second, have a motion by commission to eat to chair second. Is there any further discussions? All in favor? Aye. Opposed? Motion carries. Next item is presentation to the Commission is called by Mr. Johnny Harris regarding opportunity water district accomplish current accomplishments and any appropriate action. Mr. Harris, would you come forward and introduce the people that you have with you also please? Okay, I'm Johnny Harris. Your representative to the opportunity regional water district. And happy to say so. Thank you. I retired from Lake City's Utility Authority, which is next door in Lake Dallas after 30 years of service. I've been in the water and wastewater business for about 38 years now. So I was told I was allowed at 55 minutes, but I'm going to give you 45 of it back. That was when Judge Hoy was... I cut you down to five. Have a quick slideshow. Then afterwards, if you have any questions, I'll be glad to try to. OK. Yeah, I appreciate the opportunity to serve Bitten County as a representative on the opportunity board of directors. And so we're going to need water from now on as long as there are people. So to start with, we're going to, this is our members. We have 23 members, which includes Denton County. Y'all have been very supportive since day one. Back in 19, starts the eighth. 1989, when the opportunity was created, Denton County was staying in right there because you could see that we were gonna need infrastructure and water and wastewater services for Denton County. Our regional water system, when it was discussed, we could tell the small entities and the larger entities in Denton County could not go alone because of the cost. If we could work together, pool our resources, we could cover Denton County and everybody could have the services they needed of water and wastewater services. Over it like cities we could not build water treatment plants or wastewater treatment plants our citizens could not afford the cost of all that. So by joining together and strictly it's strictly on a volunteer basis, if you need services, you come to up with Trinity and ask them. We don't go out and say you're going to join us. So the volunteer basis is what really sold the whole idea, I think. But we do this, and we have to plan ahead also. This is our service area. We extend from Justin on the west to Salana on the east, Sanger in the north to Castle and all the little entities in between all of this area. Regional treated water plant, we have two of them, one located in Lewisville. We can treat 70 million gallons a day here at the Lewisville plant. And we have the Harpoon Water Treatment Plant which is located in Providence Village. Right now it can serve or produce 20 million gallons a day but as everybody knows the Northeast District is growing by one or two families a day so we're gonna need to expand that plant before long so we're covered pretty well we've got water available so call the people on in and let them come. Water reclamation plants, I happened to be in control of that one. When we sold it to the opportunity to turn it into a regional plant, then we have the river being plant, which is in Paloma Creek, and Old Point and Doe Branch in a little am and it shows the capacity of each one of those. We will keep on top of it if they need expanding because of growth that's what we'll do. And right there that brings up the growth. Each one of you is setting up there no, excuse me, about the population growth in Denton County which is just unbelievable. If you drive around up through the northeast Denton County area it's just unbelievable what's going on up there. I thought when I moved to Lake Dallas in 1978 that we'd never have water across to the west side of high 35 but they flew me so that's the way it goes. We're gonna bring people on. I don't know where they're coming from, but you get the Toyota's and all that moving their headquarters to this area. We're going to need some water and wastewater services. We get our water right now from Ray Roberts and Lake Lewisfield under contract with Dallas and Denton because we have no water rights in these lakes. We also transport water from Jim Chapman which used to be Cooper Reservoir till it changed the name of Jim Chapman. We're in contract with City of Irving for transportation of the water so we're working as an Irving is a member of opportunity. And here is the new lake that we're building. Lake Graff Hall. This will be strictly an opportunity regional water district. Lake, again, it's going to be on the North Sulphur River southeast Fanding County. It's about the size of Lake Great Vine, but will yield about 30% more water than Great Vine does because it's located in East Texas for the rainfall. It's a little bit heavier than here recently. If the lake had been there, we might have been full. They'd get an eight to ten inches of rain in that water. This is going to be in the first lake that it's been approved by the state of Texas in 30 years. It takes a long time to build a lake. We sent two permits or required. One estate and one of federal. We'll for the state permit in 2003. May of this year we got that permit approved. The lake permit has exhausted all appeals as of May the 15th 2017, opportunities permit for water rights became final and unappealable. So that water is ours when it gets built. Now we're waiting on the feds to work. So we hope another two years we'll get that permit. And they say everything's on schedule, so we should be able to get that. But you just don't go out and dig a hole and build a lake. This is a schedule of Lake Ralph Hall. We hope to have it filling our full of water by 2025. Now we started planning in 2001. So 25 to 30 years is a good shot at building, getting everything run and building a lake. Right now we're in the process of advertising if you want to sell your property come to us we're willing to buy it. There is no force sellers right now. Recently we got 500 and something makers from the guy that finally decided the lake's going to be built. So he wants to get out and move to Oklahoma. So he came to us voluntarily and it's well within the prosprains that we have set to, now condemnation, you know, we'll probably have to come on several parcels of land. We hope not, but right now, I don't know, Jason, are we halfway there? About halfway, all volunteer, voluntarily sailed their land to us at reasonable prices. Now we've got some land up there that's bought that speculators have come in and bought. I couldn't believe they moved in pretty fast after we got the state permit. So they say oh they are going to be all that late. So they came in and bought well hundreds of not thousands of acres hoping condemnation that they'll get a lot more for what they pay. Personally, I hope they don't. We'll see. Okay, the household hazardous waste. If we have water, right now we've got plenty of water, but we need to take care of it. And the hazardous waste program is paint pesticides, weed killers, anything that you put in the storm drain, they're going to wind up in the rivers and in the lakes. So Denton County has been a strong participant in our hazardous waste programs. They've held three recently, crossroads, land tanner, and oak point to try to keep this hazardous material out of our waterways. And the Green Belt Master Plan is a plan that will develop a plan and it's a cooperative effort. It's strictly voluntary again, which I like, volunteer stuff. I guess I'm from the old school, I hate to be told I have to do something, because half two is a big word, but you may participate in this. I feel like it would be good and didn't county, as I say, have always been behind our water supply and they're really behind the hazardous waste program, they're behind the Green Belt Master Plan and I think that will come up on the next issue. If we do the right thing, Denton County will have wastewater services and we'll be protecting our water ways that get back to how much it costs to treat water, take stuff out of the water. If we don't put it in there to start with we don't have to take it out. Do we have any questions? I know that's short and sweet but yes. We have a few questions. Anyway thank you for your update. I always appreciate your phone calls when you call me and tell me what's going on. But how's your relationship with Mustang nowadays? Does it getting better? It seems to be. You get 23, 25 board members sitting around the table. Some of them, it's me, me, me versus y'all, y'all. But an opportunity regional plan is one for all for one. I mean, and that seems to be getting a lot better. We just hope it stays that way. Good. I always like the fact that opportunity buys the right away to put their lines in. Yes. Good way to do it. Mustang and some other districts always want to put them in the counties right away. They don't realize they're there by sufferings. We're required to let them there, but we get to pick where it goes. And so I know that they're Mustang is building a road for you or building a water line for you all. And sewer line on brewer for you all and it's been a difficult process. Well our board majority of of course that's the reason I like Denton County having two reps to opportunity we get two say-so's instead of one, but one of us don't vote on capital projects. We believe that if we're going to run a line, say it's a 36, 16-water line or something, let's put it out of the county or state right away. So when they widen the roads, which we figure they will eventually, that we'll have our pipeline set now here undisturbed. So that's, and of course coming from Lake City, we wanted to use street right away because we were poor. But you get 25, 30 entities together like, you know, it just helps to expand the cost when there's 25 or 30 people that can pay for it. So we're just, we like private right away. I appreciate that. Thank you for your update. Keep us informed like you've been doing it in the past. Always available since I'm retired. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Harris. Is there any other comments? This was just presentation on item number C. We have approval of accepting a report and the master plan for the Den County Greenbelt is presented by the executive director of the opportunity Regional Water District and any appropriate action. That includes the resolution that we have in front of us. Yeah, I'm going to read that after he speaks. The only thing I wanted to know is I know that I've been able to either appoint somebody to the greenbelt master plan in the past and in the resolution it says that the county judge will be done. I saw that and I was going to need to change the commission school. Actually I have one of my appointees right here. Let's say the commission is cool. Yeah. Are we going to change that to be the commissioners court? Yes, when I read it I'll put that in there. Okay. All right. Thank you. Commissioner Mitchell, I don't think you need to read the entire resolution. I think you can just read the first sentence under the word resolution. Should be sufficient as long as the rest of the court approves of it. That's fine with me. I just, you know, I would think it's good that we all have input, particularly when it's in a large area that I represent. I'd like to have some say. If I'm doing the county judge and the county commission. I think with them. The commission is cool, it will be fine. Thank you. I plan on doing that anyway, you. Thank you. Good morning commissioners. My name is Jason Pierce, I'm the manager of customer contracts and watershed services. Tom Teder, our executive director, was planning on being here this morning, but something came up that he wasn't able to be here and wants to send his best regards. Thank you for allowing us to be here. Just a quick report back on Johnny Harris. He attends pretty much every meeting unless he's on a retired vacation. But he does a good job. He represents the interests of the commissioner's court very well. He understands the needs of this region. And he also serves a critical role as chairman of our rates and charges committee. One of those important committees that we have and he does a very good job on leading that. I also want to recognize if you would just give me just a few moments, a few people that are here with us. Today I'd like to recognize Trent Lewis who who's our president of our Opportunity Conservation Trust. Thomas Muir, also mayor of Santer, is our vice president on our trust. We also have trustees Ken Dixon. You'll also recognize a familiar face as Commissioner Coleman mentioned. This is Amanda Davenport. She's the county's liaison to our advisory committee that helped prepare the Greenbelt Plan, and also Blake Aldridge here with opportunity. She used to work for us. Yeah, thank you all for being here. I want to say that the Greenbelt Plan is complete and happy to present a copy of the plan to you. Thank you. And also thank you for your support and participation in the Greenbelt Plan. We have a large poster that you can display in public meetings or wherever, but we also have a poster that you can mount on the board as part of our appreciation for your participation. Just give you, we all know that the county is growing. And our county is connected through many waterways. These waterways connect our agricultural lands, our suburban communities with three major water supply lakes, as Johnny mentioned earlier. You have Ray Roberts of the North, Louisville Lake in the middle, and then Great Vinyl Lake to the South. Population, those circle areas are our population growth centers, they're in the Southwest portion of the county and then also in the Northeast. As communities continue to grow, protecting our waterways and our watersheds and our other natural assets is a very important task that we all must participate in. Just think about it. Cost is very little to protect them now, but can you imagine the cost it would be in comparison if you're having to restore them in the future? This is a great example of a local green belt. This is a healthy green belt of the Little Amp Creek, generally located on Farm to Market Road 1385, near the intersection of Farm to Market Road 428, there in Northeastern of the county. This green belt provides a great buffer area for the neighboring agricultural fields, but it also helps to filter out any sediments or pollutants before it enters our creeks and our waterways. The green belt plan, as we've discussed with you before, is completely voluntary. It's a voluntary preservation of our Green Belt and our identifying those opportunities where Green Belt can be preserved, connected, or established for maximum benefit. If we share it a common vision in protecting our natural assets, we have a greater probability of being successful. The plan provides a toolbox of strategies that the county are any municipalities, nonprofit organization, agencies, as well as developers. They can use in preserving and protecting our green belts right where we live. The map you see over on the poster and also on the screen provides a categorization of our stream corridors. It identifies all the major creeks and streams as either already preserved opportunities to preserve and protect our three limited opportunities. The primary opportunities are the focus of our work, the focus in what we are encouraging stakeholders to get involved in is preserving those primary areas. Those are usually a direct connection with water supply lake, within a city's corporate boundaries, or within a designated high priority watershed. As I mentioned, the previous slides showed the Lil' M Creek, that Lil' M Creek is designated as a primary opportunity. The plan goes into great details in providing implementation strategies. Again, it's completely voluntary. It's not regulatory. Judge Horne made it very clear when we first started developing this plan that she did not want it to be a regulatory document. So, it's, but it's no less important. We all must do our part in preserving our natural assets and our green belts. There is opportunity for everyone to participate in some element of implementing the plan. The resolution as Commissioner Coleman mentioned earlier talks about creating and appointing a coordinating committee. We need help. And the purpose of the coordinating committee is to be a champion for implementing the GreenPap plan. Implementation is the key to this success. What we envision as part of the coordinating committee are various representatives of the stakeholder groups, cities, the county, developers, utilities, other interested agencies that have an interest in protecting our green belts. other interested agencies that have an interest in protecting our green belts. The plan sponsors the county, the opportunity of regional water and historic and the opportunity conservation trust should have a seat at the table, a continuing role. We're going to stand behind the plan and help in getting it implemented. But the coordinating committee will be a great cheerleader if you will for that success. We'll be following up with various departments of the county to discuss the plan and coordinate with them and also following up on how the coordinating committee would be structured. A key element in implementation is the education outreach to all stakeholders. The logo as you see in the bottom right hand corner was, corner was developed from ideas and suggestions that came out of the stakeholder meeting so we had. It's a brand for the plan and so we intend to use that, that brand to help to identify the green belt preservation. We are in the planning process and getting geared up to develop an interactive website. All this data behind the plan was developed using GIS data, so it's readily available. And so our intent is to provide an interactive website so that folks can go in and identify those primary streams, those secondary streams, and so forth. Circle things that are provided in the plan I'd like to highlight to you. There is not one single tool that's right for preserving and protecting a green belt plan. So we've provided a myriad of tools and is part of the toolbox. Local cities can adopt ordinances. We have local examples, Ditten, Flyer, Mound. Louisville have local ordinances in protecting green belts. You can also protect green belts through conservation easements, which are in perpetuity, and then you also have tools that are identified for private landowners such as concepts of rotational grazing, ferrohaul control, providing buffers around crown plan. One of the, I think, a good element of this plan also is that it provides design criteria for a hike in bike trails. What should a hike in bike trail look like? So there are examples of that in the appendices as part of the plan. As I mentioned, one of the tools that we have available is the opportunity conservation trust. It's a 501c3 land trust to preserve and protect Green Belt. And as I mentioned earlier, and introduced, we have three board members, four board members, and I forgot. I got Lyle Drescher, I just remembered, I am so sorry, Lyle. Lyle Drescher serves on our conservation trust. He wasn't sitting over here with the group and I lost sight of him. I do apologize for that. We do have a one time opportunity to protect our green belts and our natural assets. Because once they're gone, they're gone forever. I would again like to thank you for the opportunity for presenting to you this morning. Thank you for your support in developing the plan and would urge adoption of the resolution. And I'd be happy to answer any questions that you may have at this time. Commissioner, you don't have any questions? We do have a resolution, thank you, mispears, that reads the resolution except in the Den County Green Belt Plan, creating a coordinating committee to assist with the successful implementation thereof, and authorizing the Commissioners' Court to appoint representatives to submit committee. Now therefore be it resolved by the Commissioners Court of Den County Texas that the Commissioners Court do hereby adopt the Den County Greenbelt Plan as a voluntary guide to the preservation and protection of green belts within the watersheds of the county's major water supply lakes, Lewisville Lake Ray Robert and Great Von Lake. That the commissioners court does hear by request staff to review the Den County Greenbelt Plan for timely recommendations and for incorporation of appropriate items into the county's policy practices and standards. That a green belt coordinating committee is hereby created to champion the preservation and protection of local Green Belt and the commissioners co-it. Do herby make appointments and replace the there to with the representatives from various stakeholders and to oversee the committee's activities on an ongoing basis as needed. That the commissioners co-it hereby expresses appreciation to the opportunity conservation trust for leading the planning effort in developing the plan to the opportunity regional water district for serving in a continuing role as a facilitator for the development and implementation of a coordinated county wide watershed protection program. the United County Wide Watershed Protection Program. And to all the interested stakeholders for providing valuable insight in the plan, that this resolution shall become effective immediately upon his passage.

So, it's not really spending county money on this. We've just from the Edward Burn. Justice Assistant's grant allows the two police departments by needed equipment.

I'll move approval. Second. How long is this contract for? I was trying to figure that out. Do we know it's going to be how many years with the only option? Two years. Two years. Two years with two little options for one year. Okay, great. I just think it's that it was wonderful that we were able to bid this out. You know, we need to, I think hopefully the days are gone when we have contracts they go for 20 years or more without being bid, whether it's for transportation services or tax collection.

We in Denton County have allowed this cancer to spread its malignancy for too long. We saw this past weekend in Charlottesville what happens when the cancer of hate goes untreated and festers. It is past time to remove this ugly growth and each of you have the power to do it. I realize that this takes courage after all. They get tend to be angry, armed, and very dangerous, and for some reason deeply in need of good sex. Maybe we just need to hire them a few hookers. I guess that's why so many angry white men blame all their problems on poor black women, but I digress. You are elected officials. Must ask yourself the age old questions of Rabbi Hello about that statute. If I am not for myself, who will be for me? But if I'm for myself alone, what am I? But if I inform myself alone, what am I? And if not now, when? When? Thank you. Thank you, Ms. Manuel. And I apologize again for looking here. If that were going to adjourn the court again, all in favor? All right. Those motion carries. There is. There is. There is. There is. There is. There is. There is. There is.
