This morning, an invocation is going to be given by Dr. Bing Burton and our pledges will be led by Bennett Howell, will you please stand? Would you pray with me? Lord, we begin this new year, first and foremost, thanking you for the blessings that you have already bestowed on us and Trusting in your continued guidance in the coming year We pray you're blessing upon this commissioner's court. We ask you're blessing upon all those who serve this country both at home and abroad Pray that all that is said and done would be pleasing to you for Jesus' sake. Amen. We come in, we come in, we come in, we come in, we come in, we come in, we come in, we come in, we come in, we come in, we come in, we come in, we come in, we come in, we come in, we come in, we come in, we come in, we come in, we come in, we come in, we come in, we come in, we come in, we come in, we come in, we come in, we I'm going to take this right. I've got to do it easy to do. Textes one and a half. I heard it on one in the beginning. Thank you, gentlemen. Item one is for public input. For items not listed on the agenda, if there's any member of the public that would like to address commissioners court, we ask that you please complete a public comment form. And we'd be glad to hear from you. Once we're reminded of everyone, please turn off your cell phones and your pages. Item two is a consent agenda. Members, are there items on the consent agenda that you need to have discussion on? Or are you as something I'm going to interpret? Under public. Under public, okay, go ahead, Commissioner Eads. Thank you, Judge. In Thanks. Thank you, Judge. In 2004, a Louisville resident by the name of Bryson Gappa started an initiative to honor fallen soldiers in the Iraq war that are from the state of Texas. And she made a series of, she wanted to acknowledge each one of those fallen soldiers by creating a ornament that she would hang on the outside of her house on a series of live oak trees there in Lewisville. And it was not a political statement. It was one way or the other, but it was really a way to not forget the soldiers who died in the line of duty. And it's been widely reported, I don't know if you'll have seen that. It's been widely reported. There's been 436 Texas casualties in Iraq alone. And last week I saw on a press clip that she was taking down that exhibit and that memorial in her yard. And it was late at night and I was reading the press clips and I emailed Peggy Riddell our museum director and I said Peggy could you come on up Peggy and I said could you Get in touch with her and see what she's gonna do with those because I think that'd be a great acquisition here because it started here in our county To stay here in our county and I will I want to let Peggy talk here in just a second. But these ornaments, there's a series of these. And I say there's 436 soldiers. She's been doing this since 04. And as these ornaments would weather and age, with due to the elements, she would replace those. So each soldier has several of these. And she took these down last week and Peggy and I had a great, we went and made a house call and, and, and visit with her about two and a half hours. And she was very warm to our idea of letting the county have these as a, as a permanent exhibit. I'm going to pass you around and let Peggy add. Yes. Well, as you can imagine, this is a project that's very close to her heart and it was sort of emotional for us during our visit. But I feel that this is something that didn't county should preserve the story, the artifacts. This is one of a kind. No one else is doing this. And I think once you see these, you'll see how we become attached to the faces of these fallen soldiers. While we were there, Commissioner Eads also video recorded because as we were standing in the street, the wind blew and the clacking of the ornaments together just left a real impression on me. So we're hoping we can incorporate that into the exhibit that will come here. We will make these available to the families if they want the actual artifact. We will give that to them. But we're hoping we can give them a scan, a photograph of the ornament and let the ornaments stay here so that we can exhibit these throughout the years. Great. What a nice idea. We have soldiers from Crum, Ditten, Louisville, Flower Mound, Carrollton. I mean, there was, it was amazing how many Ditten County soldiers we did. And she displayed those in a very unique way. She said, she noticed two soldiers that were killed. They were about the same age. And they're both from Edinburgh, Texas. And so when she displayed, she says, I know that it's a small town. Those boys knew it one another probably. And so they were all displayed by city because they could have known one another. It's really very thoughtful. And I think it just be a great addition to our collection and that we're preserving contemporary history now and not just some of our older things. So thank you Peggy for your help. Thank you. Great. Thank you for doing that. That's cool. Okay. Now item two is consent agenda. Are there items on the consent agenda that you need to have discussion on or do we have a motion for approval?

Cheryl, move for approval. Back in the back commission reads. Other questions? Yes. Jody here. Go ahead, Bobby. question or needs, other questions? Yes. Jody here. Go ahead, Bobbi. Jody, would you explain this, what you're doing on this one? Will there be money after the 2013 to continue to pay for this position? I think it probably doesn't seem to be the thing, but that is, yes, man, that is the intent to find the revenue stream support that the funding of this position to go forward from after the 2013 timeline that the grants run out. And I'm not talking about that grant revenue coming from further grants because this Homeland Security grants are starting in a dwindle bound over the years and I think that probably about 2013 will see few dollars in the Homeland Security grant program. But with what the participation that we have in state responses and state wide responses and reimbursement coming from those state responses, I think that we'll be able to support the continuation of that additional 16 hours from that position after 2013 from supported state responses throughout the state when they call us in to come out to different areas of the state with our mobile command post and interoperability equipment things like that those funds are paid to us because of a use of equipment and things like that So believe it will be able to support it. Sorry. Was this one you asked for in the budget? Yes, ma'am What happens if we don't those funds don't come in? I know you Counting on them coming in. I believe they will but Simply we would I would simply ask for it through the budget process and not outside the budget process. Yes, ma'am. You're saying, although the grants are diminishing, we receive income from the state because of the utilizing our equipment and yes sir. And you called out to work on the state's behalf. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Are there any other questions? Are you none? We have a motion and a second. I'll in favor, please say aye. Aye. Opposed, Sen. Opposed, Sen. Yes, carry. Thanks, Judy. 13F is discussion and approval of any possible action regarding Senate Bill 1420 Committee and proposed and I'm a 35 E management project. Just to let you know that I'm kind of racing through our agenda here today because commissioner Eads and I and Mr. poster along with some text thought representatives are meeting with the Dallas Morning News actually this morning. So we need to get done with court and get on the road to Dallas to be at the Dallas Morning News in a timely fashion. The main thing that I think we need to take a little bit of time to discuss today is the resolution. We had some discussion concerning some changes and the wording on that resolution. And I don't think that they have time to get deep into that today. But my question is, have you all been sending your comments to Mr. Polster concerning any? I think we were supposed to send them to Andy. No. We've initially said that we said just send them to John. So I got your comments. I'm sure it's a reformed it. I got it last night and I sent it to John. So he's got that. I just want to encourage the rest of the members. And there's a lot of edicts there, which is good. And so I want to encourage the rest of the members that we've had a holiday. We're still on time to respond to the RTC. So let's get those to John as a group so he can pull together that document. We have those starting. I have comments. You have comments and we'll put them all together. Then why don't we discuss it next week? Does that work for everybody? All right. We're sending them to John. I thought we were both the you were going to collect them, but I send it now. I've already forwarded it to John Yes, yeah, yeah, I've already got it. I forwarded to him. Okay. Yeah, the deal I worked on it while I was on vacation and actually took it with me down to when I was out of town and I even watched a little of our video tape to kind of figure what I thought our our thoughts are and I just wanted to go over with y'all. To me I think the three main guiding principles are that we want to stand by our guns on 635 to 380. There are three things that we mentioned last year that was one. You know general purpose laying and that all funds be dedicated to the expansion project. So when I redrafted and did my markup, the thing I wanted to ask for y'all, I mean, I'm going to take another stab at it again, but I think there's a lot of kind of like additional garbage in there that maybe is kind of just kind of transportation speak and doesn't really give good clear direction from us. You know, like a lot of this stuff like that John brought up regarding Dart and some of the other, you know, the congestion funds and stuff and so when I redid it I left a lot of that stuff in there because I know if we kind of completely redo it they might go into anaphylactic shock but I had thought about just saying, look, you know, here's our resolution, here's our guiding principles, you know, all funds generated here's our guiding principles you know all funds generated from those managed lanes go to that corridor you know if you put in a managed lane we want additionally to begin with an additional general purpose lane and with the project to be playing from 635 to 380 I know our friends at the city of Denton are concerned about that so I put those principles in there and I changed the now therefores to you know asking them to adopt these principles and listed out the principles instead of and just did a kind of some more grammatical changes and stuff but that's kind of what I thought I mean what do y'all think I mean and do y'all have anything else that we can decide. Those are the points that we kind of discussed last week and I believe we're all in agreement on just getting it done in black and white. I just wanted to make it abundantly clear, you know, so. Well. And I think I'll follow resolution will. Yeah, I think so. We'll say that. You'll want to be a forward y'all what I did or are we just I guess we just send it to John. After we get everybody's comments and John formulated it, put it together and bring it back to us. We'll have a chance again to market up and I think those three points and will be all of our final resume. But I mean those are the main. I would prefer that we forward it to John and ask John to kind of put this together. I don't want to be holding any discussion outside of commissioners court and be in violation of any open meetings law. Okay. I'm going to be careful. And those same principles are what we talked about last November when we did our resolution. They're the same things. Not in this agreement. Exactly. Exactly, exactly. Those are the same things that we as a court and as individual members that we talked about to the legislators. In the individual meetings with them, we did that when we met with the political groups. I mean, those are the same, those are the same things that I've been communicating and since the beginning, you know. So I don't think it, I think including those in this document or in concert with whatever, what I know I've been saying, and the other members have been saying as well. I'd like to hear whatever you all look at it and tell me you're you know I've tried to clean it up quite a bit and made some of the language a little stronger and clarify it but all right I'll go ahead and forward it to John and I he got it last time. Winter deadline to get our suggestions done too. Take in to RTC are the end of the month. At the end of the month. Okay. We have next week to we have next week to Is of the 12th so we have next Tuesday to get it done. Okay. All right. Sounds good. Okay, so let me know further action on this item today. Moving right on to item 14A is discussion in approval agreement transferring local registrar duties from justice of peace precinct 6 to the den kind of clerk I move for approval, but a little while it yeah discussion on that Okay, we have a motion by commission march on now second and go ahead. Yeah, because of the redistricting there's part of precinct two that is now part of precinct six and precinct two has been doing vital records for the county clerk's office and primarily before that precinct six percent within the city limits of the city of Carrollton and they assign their duties to Dallas County clerk's office, which hopefully in this next year we'll get them to transfer that over to it in County since most of the deaths and the births in Carrollton occur with in Denton County because there's no hospital within Dallas County, Carrollton. And so I move for approval. That's what's going on. Okay. We have a Commissioner March. I need the motion. I seconded it. There are further questions or comments. Here none on the paper. Please say aye. Aye. Opposed to the name? Motion does carry. 14B is approval of one member and of understanding between Texas Department of Public Safety and County Texas transferring ownership of fingerprint scanning equipment from Texas DPS to the county and making the county responsible for equipment maintenance going forward and two maintenance agreement between L1 identity solutions incorporated into Dantle County.

I'm going to motion for approval by Commissioner Ead seconded by Commissioner Mitchell. And I'll just say, I think the people down there are gonna be glad to put up with the construction just because the congestion is so bad. This couldn't happen to the students soon enough. And the county we closed Copper Canyon Road north of South, we closed that today because it's going under construction. So that's gonna be closed for three months. So that's segment alone.
