I don't think we be able to do that. I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not going to be able to do that.

The termination of the DEMC kind of disaster declaration, MH-0812 for a healthy emergency related to widespread outbreak of mosquito-borne westbound virus. Morning, Jody. Morning, Judge, the commissioners. And if you'll, in your backup material, Dr. Burton, and I have discussed this at length. And we feel that due to the winter season coming on the fall participation, the numbers are dropping through an epidemiological surveillance that we can close out that disaster declaration that was created for a threat mitigating against the West Nile-born, mosquito-born West Nile virus. So at this point, we'd ask that the commission's court close out or discontinue that disaster declaration. Bing, if you would come up, I think this would be an appropriate place to get a little recap as to where we are right now with our numbers. I think we have 184 total cases. We're very fortunate to have only two fatalities associated with this outbreak. Our fatality rate was far lower than anyone else's and I think that's a credit to the physicians and hospitals that treated our cases. I have had a few cases, well, only two cases that I know of in November and maybe 10 in October. So, and with the temperature today, I think this thing is pretty much over. We may want to think about next year, though, particularly, I hadn't thought about budgeting but we may consider around spraying perhaps certainly larval siding again so we may have to well planning yeah hello yeah planning for it should be started now and we're certainly meeting with municipalities and and certainly there are some discussions that we probably need to have with the court But in terms of actually doing any ground spraying or larv reciting our first case last year was May 31st First of May or the first are I mean do you Do you do you only spray based upon a positive finding of the West? Figure a case or a mosquito pool trapping and we may want to purchase some traps too. I would just like and not that we weren't behind a ball. I think that we responded in a very diligent and very quick way and when we had to do that but you're right. I'm assuming that you're already getting pricing for things like the traps and things like that. So we have that information handy. I'll get you something to that today. Hey, that's fine. As a reminder, being in one of the discussions, we've had two after action reviews. We had one after action review with just didn't counting internal employees that were that we had to do deal with this particular disaster. So we've had those after action reviews and dealt with the different departments as well. What was your problem? What was your problem, and came up with a lot of stuff between all the different agencies and departments that were involved. We had a second after action review with Department of State Health Services, which actually put that on for us, in which we had a lot of lessons learned and things that we would need to look at starting in that February, March timeframe to get things rolling like you mentioned, and a lot of those were including trapping and things like that. But keep in mind that like Dr. Burton said one of the things we've had to come to you is all of this happened after the budget process. So as we move forward for next year, I mean it's not, I don't know if there's a giant cost that we may not be talking about. But simple cost that may need to look at some budget amendments and things like that to cover those traps and things like that. We're also clarified with the State of Texas who is our primary funding source for the aerial spring. Would you find out on behalf of the county as well as the municipalities who chose not to participate but did their own ground spraying if the state of Texas or the federal government would would take and do what they did in the aerial spraying by paying for that. Remember we ran into some of that and some questions that we have municipalities on choosing to go ground spraying and what would the what would the what would the state of Texas do as far as reimbursing them or paying for that service. If that's going to be in there. I was certainly inquiring to all of that. Keep in mind we were responding to an emergency. I know. I know. Yeah. Okay. We need a motion to discontinue the declaration. Gerald so move. We're good. Sorry, oh, here. We'll give a second to Commissioner Eans. On favor, please say aye. Aye. Aye. Opposed, Sinene. Motion does carry. Then 13D is approval of a disaster declaration for the threat of large wildfires due to drought conditions. We pretty dry out there even though we got a little rain this weekend. Well, you know, the rain that we got this weekend is already gone and dried out, the dust is already blowing around. And this recommendation does not come lightly. I know we're moving into a time where it gets colder and people want to have campfires and things like that and then really concerns me. I'm not recommending that this today because of the potential for campfires. I want people to enjoy their day and their to the beach. The key to the beach. The key to the beach. The key to the beach. The key to the beach. The key to the beach. The key to the beach. The key to the beach. The key to the beach. The key to the beach. The key to the beach. The key to the beach. The key to the beach.

So with that being said, I do come to you today with evidence that we've had frequency of grass fires has increased, especially over the last week. So I do come to you today asking that we look at this and entertain any questions you may have to impose a disaster the disaster declaration to mitigate against wildfires. Other questions from members of court? Yes. It was taken off October 1st, so it had been off 31, about 40 something days. Any other questions? Do we have a motion? The chair is going to move for a problem. Seconded by Commissioner Mitchell. Hearing no further questions, all in favor please say aye. Aye. Opposed, Sennene. Motion to carry.

We would like to continue to remain on the board and they would like to continue to have them and then he is presently the representative from the city of the colony and the colony would be appointing somebody else to replace them. We have a move. We have a sentence of information. I just wanted to know where he was moving to from where we were going to. I talked to him last week and at that point in time he hadn't made a decision between the unincorporated county or Louisville. I think he's looking to both locations or that's why it was put to me. But out of the colony so he could not continue to be their representative. Thank you. We have a motion by Commissioner Marchant. Seconded by Commissioner Mitchell. Are there any further questions? Any none? On favor, please say aye. Aye. Opposed, Sen. Aye.

And what this does is not just moving that switch gear, it's a whole campus redo of the all electrical system. So we're making it a loop system right now. It's a single feed into the jail. So if something goes wrong with that, they're out of power. It makes it a loop system. We're relocating several switch gear new new transformers.
